Fascist USA, Wall Street, Fascist Myopic horizon, thievocracy

  

"If you say anything bad about Trump or his administration, you may be barred from re-entering USA if you are Canadian.  

If you are a dual citizen like me, who knows? We’ll all find that out together.”

  



Young has a long history of protesting against Trump. 

 In 2015, he said the then-presidential candidate was “not authorised” to use his track Rockin’ In the Free World during a campaign launch – and later filed a lawsuit to prevent Trump from using his music."

Fascist Republican one dimensional world cult of Maga and kleptocracy.

Kleptocracy  

(from Greek κλέπτης kléptēs, "thief", or κλέπτω kléptō,  

"I steal", 

 and -κρατία -kratía from κράτος krátos,  

"power, rule"),  

also referred to as thievocracy, 

 is a government whose corrupt leaders (kleptocrats) use political power to expropriate the wealth of the people and land they govern, 

 typically by embezzling or misappropriating government funds at the expense of the wider population 


Kleptocracy is different from plutocracy (rule by the richest) and oligarchy (rule by a small elite).  

In a kleptocracy, corrupt politicians enrich themselves secretly outside the rule of law, 

 through kickbacks, bribes, and special favors . 

from lobbyists and corporations, or they simply direct state funds to themselves and their associates.

"commuted the sentence of a former business associate of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s scandal-plagued son." 


https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/31/trump-pardon-jan-6-hunter-biden 




"President Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of Jason Galanis  

who aided Republican efforts  

to impeach former President Joe Biden   


while serving a prison sentence of over 14 years  

for defrauding Native Americans and other investors."


"The White House did not explain the rationale for granting clemency to Galanis, who was sentenced in August 2017 in federal court in New York to 14 years and five months in prison for his role in a bond scheme that 

 defrauded the Oglala Sioux tribe and pension fund investors out of tens of millions of dollars."

"Jason Galanis and his codefendants engaged in market manipulation and the defrauding of shareholders, and they stole a large portion of the proceeds of tribal bonds  

 that were intended to fund economic development projects,”  

Audrey Strauss, then-acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York said in a statement after the sentencing. “Now Jason Galanis has been sentenced to a lengthy prison term that reflects the magnitude and pervasiveness of his crimes.”







"Trump last week pardoned Devon Archer, who was sentenced to a one-year prison term as part of the same fraud scheme involvingd Galanis and also went on to testify to the impeachment inquiry.

Galanis, who has said he unsuccessfully sought a pardon in Trump’s first term,  

testified from prison to the House impeachment inquiry  

led by Rep. James Comer against President Biden."


So The Guardian doesn't mention any of these facts, simply thaty Jason Galanis was an associate of Hunter Biden, not the fact that Jason Galanis made a deal to Impeach Joe Biden while in prison for his scumbag Trump style crimes. 


"Hunter Biden testified to the House committee that he had only briefly met Galanis a decade earlier. The former president’s son was not implicated in the fraud scheme and the Republican impeachment effort fizzled."


---Politico,  3-31-25 


https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/31/trump-pardons-jason-galanis-fraud-00262087 

"The judge ordered Galanis to forfeit about $80 million in proceeds and pay an equal amount in restitution.

Trump’s clemency order absolves him  


of the financial penalties   


as well as having to serve the remainder of his prison time." 



whats that worth, Jason? how about a hundred Bitcoin? how about a thousand Bitcoin, sent offshore to Trump Inc. in the Bahamas?

  The Finnish president's office said in a statement that Stubb's unannounced visit with Trump was "informal. " (so are my nuclear icebreaker glasses, fascist felon pervert) 

Trump's meeting with Stubb took place a day after  

Vice President JD Vance made an uninvited visit to Greenland,  


a semi-autonomous territory of Finland's close Nordic ally Denmark. Vance accused Denmark of doing a poor job keeping Greenland safe.


Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in 

"acquiring " Greenland, 

 part of a growing international focus on competition to control the Arctic. Denmark's government opposes such a move, as do most Greenland residents. 


The Finnish president's office said in a statement that Stubb's unannounced visit with Trump was informal.

Trump told NBC News in an interview on Saturday that he would "never take military force off the table" 

 to accomplish his conquest but said he believe there was "a good possibility" it could be done without resorting to brutal Alabama style Nazi force.

Asked what message " acquiring" Greenland 

would send to Russia and the rest of the world, Trump said,  

I don’t really think about that. I don’t really care."
