 Ship Of Fools*
As a Zionist President of The United States together with Israel and Saudi Arabia push the world closer to war with Iran, this is what you must know as your sons and daughters in Christendom are 'psyched-up' (yet again) to die for others global financial ambitions. 
Western ''Christian'' politicians will do nothing to prevent ''Christian blood'' (yet again)  being again shed in Muslim lands.
Again, Brothers and Sisters you really do need to wake up and ask yourself ''Why?''
Iran is run by despots - but so are many other countries you and I can both agree to list.
I watched a couple wheel their one or two year-old daughter in a pram.  I felt like saying to them: ''you will nurture her, educate her to the age of 14 or thereabouts.''  ''She will then be 'psyched-up' by mainstream media and at her school or by 'friends' or 'family' or 'recruiters' to join and fight 'patriotic' wars in Muslim, African Caucasian or Asian oil-rich and mineral-rich lands;wars she will never quite fathom.  She will die in one such war.''  ''You will grieve and, maybe only then, even for the first time, realise that all you were told about that war was one big lie.''   ''She was simply a pawn in a (never-ending) 'Great Game.'  She was never educated at school to question nor to fathom the 'why?'; ''why she was being manipulated and 'managed' to hate, to commit unquestioningly to  wars, disguised under a flag of patriotism.''  She was programmed and managed to hate, to use a weapon but never to question ''why?''; never to question ''who benefits?''  And all the politicians stayed silent as the drums of war reached a frenzy - because they all knew what 'the Great Game' was all about.
In my earlier blogs of 2014 and 2015 you will you will see the future clearly spelt out.  After the Middle East, the Caucasus and Caspian Sea are the next seas (or deserts) of blood.
As one recent example, it did not matter that Western companies benefited handsomely from Libyan oil and business.
Nor, remarkably, will it matter that The Caspian Sea region holds enough wealth for everyone to prosper.  Folks, for some, the world will never be enough.  (What this means, in brief, is that there are enough resources in the world to meet human needs, but never enough to satisfy human greed.)
As I said then and repeat now, 'The Four Horseman' are long-headed to the Caucasus' and the Caspian Sea, the new ''El-Dorado'' the new ''sea of fire'' where those not yet conceived are already dead, to fulfil the financial ambitions of others.  (Ah, if only war-scarred blood-soaked earth could talk!)
As a side-show to the main event, study what happened in Malaysia (https://mustsharenews.com/1mdb-scandal-explained/) to appreciate an example of how 'wars by other means' are conducted in the 21st century.
Something similar  happened in Libya - but is not as widely reported.  (Perhaps someday you will write that story or that detailed book?  Of how and by whom the vast Sovereign Wealth Fund of Libya was pilfered and that, sadly, the Libyans themselves, being a 'collective' of warring semi-feudal desert tribes only held together by one strong leader, simply don't care or, out of tribal vindictiveness, would just prefer to forget, as that once prosperous country, where health care, education were once free for all, where once numeracy, illiteracy, disease and epidemics had been abolished, sinks deeper and deeper into poverty, misery, despair, into tribalism, anarchy and chaos with no end in sight and nobody really caring which murderous tribal faction runs the country, as long as the oil keeps flowing uninterrupted.)

Forensic Architecture and Ecocide
There is a new term called 'Ecocide.'  It  may very well be something you will be hearing more of as this century progresses and could be incorporated into U.N. statutes and resolutions akin to War Crimes.  To summarize, it is when environmental destruction through war or human actions result in the intended or unintended deaths of  individuals, of tens or hundreds of thousands of people across a region or regions.
The destruction of all the basic services (of health education and employment) in Libya and the absence of a central coordinating authority resulting in an influx of tens of thousands of migrants from Africa to Europe - crippling infrastructural systems and services in Southern Europe (Italy and Greece in particular) and beyond, not to mention the political upheaval and tensions caused - are all directly traceable back to the military intervention of the West and the collapse of the Libyan State after Western intervention - may very well be seen in the context of Ecocide by future historians. 
I have not even touched on the displacement by interventionist wars and those displaced by the Islamic State and other terror groups fleeing for their lives  from Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and the crime of mainstream media of not directly connecting these conflicts caused by bungled Western military interventions with the upheaval and chaos such displaced (and internally displaced) persons have had - crippling humanitarian services in Turkey, Jordan,Lebanon, Italy and Greece almost to a point of collapse with Northern Europe unwilling to foot the humanitarian aid bill in anything like the resources required.
Forensic architecture, a science of tomorrow, in brief, reconstructs environmental structures prior to their collapse to trace, through 3-D sequential mapping, the part they played at any given time of the trauma, chaos or crises. 
As if the politicians (and the mainstream media along for the ride) have learned absolutely nothing, we are now being asked to ''buy into' yet another war - this time in Iran, on behalf of Saudi Arabia and Israel.

'' ...... myself and ...(all who were 'aware':-PE ) all bought ourselves out (of the British Armed Forces) before we were officially informed about the forthcoming redeployment.''
''I have no regrets.''

The Looming War With Iran

It is rarely debated that the entry of the U.S. into World War II in part started at the behest of Zionist organizations - a fact seldom found in contemporary history books. Whatever the case, be in no doubt that this coming war with Iran is at the behest of Zionist interests in the United States, in Israel and at the behest of Sunni Islam in Saudi Arabia. 

''Only Fools and Horses''
As President Donald J. Trump himself once said:
'' only idiots sign up for active duty (in the military.) ''
Be assured brothers and sisters, these Christian ''idiots'' will be doing the fighting - and the dying - for Trump and his Zionist Billionaires - and many won't even have ''shitholes'' [ another quote from Donald J. Trump about how the poor live because political tyrants run their countries] of homes to return to.  
[Be further assured, if you are living in a poor neighborhood - or caravan in a trailer park  in the United States - as ''White Trailer Trash'' he is also talking about you and your family.  He just can't tweet it honestly at present because he needs your vote - and your anger - in order to manipulate your fears and prejudices to enrich himself and his cabal.]

''Bringing Down The Whole House''
While this looming war with Iran will not bring the house down, it will certainly cause a tsunami of not just anti-Zionist but anti-Semitic outrage worldwide - and this will be the tip of a growing iceberg - similar to those conditions in Hungary before the *1956 uprising.

Another Libya
As I also said previously, the Iranians (Persians) have made bad military and political decisions for hundreds of years since they set their sights on conquering Western Europe; the Battle of Thermoplyae being just one of dozens of classic military blunders over  hundreds of years (excluding the final phase of the Peloponnesian Wars, where proxy support of Sparta enhanced, for a period of time, Persian influence over Greek cities in Asia Minor.)
A war with Iran, in the absence of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and if carried out as already in existing scenario war games, could conceivably remove the despotic Iranian regime with a few months.

Who Is The Real Threat?
The problem is not removing these despots, it's the fact that they have been removed at the behest of Saudi Arabia and Israel - with Europe and America doing both of their biddings.
It is these facts which will eventually cause such revulsion that even ill-informed Americans will start to think - and to question - why they should always be fighting - and dying - for Zionist Israeli, Zionist Christian, and for Muslim Arab interests?

The long-term dangers here are that those identified by Donald Trump and his Zionist Cabinet as trailer trash Whites, Blacks, Latinos, Hispanics, Arabs and Africans living in shitholes, will ultimately protest the only way the masses left with nothing but chains of oppression and no hope for the future for themselves nor their families know how to - by attempting to violently overthrowing their oppressors and manipulators.
This is the ultimate fate of all tyrants and oppressors  - be they Nero, Caligula, or Trump, with all of their excessive opulence scuttled - only after all their technologies of social and political control and state terror have been exhausted.

Sacrificial Lambs
Only those ultimately seeking to  violently overthrow democratic institutions and replace them with Soviet-style tyranny in the United States will be praising Trump's decision to launch a war against Iran. 
His decision to go to war - to save his own political future with Sunni Arab (Saudi Arabia) money and Zionist Israeli-American political support, will have longer lasting impacts on ordinary Jews worldwide as they experience the fallout in hatred and hostility.

Be finally assured, that by the time all this happens in the United States, the instigators of all this economic and political chaos, civil inter-States wars, racial animosity, divided communities, hatred and financial misery, will all be using their second passports for a quieter life elsewhere.

Additional Information
Saudi Arabia is acknowledged to be home to the most violent and extreme forms of Islam -
Salafism and Wahhabism.  The former was promoted by ISIS in an even more twisted extreme version in the now defunct Islamic Caliphate.  Most ill-informed Americans will already have forgotten that ISIL/ISIS was initially supported by the West (America, Europe and Turkey) as it butchered Christians, Yazidis, fellow-Muslims, Homosexuals and all others not sharing its beliefs in Iraq and Syria.   Christian Zionists and politicians in the United States and in Europe (including The Vatican) stood by at the time of heightened bloody ISIS carnage in almost total silence while Christianity was virtually destroyed in Syria and Iraq.  Israel and Turkey gave intelligence military and medical assistance to ISIL fighters as they created carnage in Syria and Iraq in their efforts to overthrow the Syrian and Iraqi governments .  Now, these same individuals (with the exception of Turkey - which dumped ISIS when it was no longer of use) want yet another war - this time in Iran - and are desperately seeking ways to ''morally'' justify it.



Like any Mafia Godfather, Trump is innocently saying that his hands are ''clean'' and he is ''shocked'' by how far towards war things are progressing without his knowledge.

[In matters of life and death, where patriots are being called on for maybe the ultimate sacrifice, can you really believe anything this man or any of his henpecked advisers tell you?]



Do not forget how meekly the mainstream media is leading from behind yet another charge into
war.

Addendum
I don't want to appear to be going on an anti-Zionist tirade so I will add this as a short addendum rather than a separate blog.
Many of the institutions Trump is undermining protect America from terrorism.  In the past they treated threats from Zionist terrorism no different from Arab Muslim terrorism - or any other forms of terrorist conspiracies for that matter.
Zionists were not allowed to run riot either with intelligence gathering within the United States nor actively to threaten the lives of U.S. citizens within the United States - nor carry out surveillance of such individuals across any territories of the United States, Commonwealth nor Overseas Territories.   
Now Zionists have all been allowed to be embedded into the very fabric of NATO.
(Again, don't be a bigger fool than I by not appreciating what this will ultimately mean for NATO.)  
(This fact took place on Obama's watch!)
(If the history of how Israel got into NATO is honestly written some day, it's origin was, in part, the decision to allow Americans dual citizenship with Israeli passports.   And if you want to backtrack even further to know how this happened, read earlier blogs at this website.)

The last prize (for the 'taking down') are U.S. institutions - including the United States Armed Forces - and all of their command, intelligence and support structures.
Donald Trump, who professes to be Christian despite the fact that the entire Trumf/Trumfp/Trumpf clan are mainly Jews (one individual speculates, Polish Jews, if  ancestry tests be carried out) is openly destroying all the institutions which protect the United States by  obsessively undermining confidence in their work and regularly portraying them as partial ''Deep State'' actors who ''spy'' on American patriots and, more important, that this spying is even worse than that of Russia and China.  The former, he sends signals out regularly, are really 'the good guys' and deserve the 'free passes' he gives them - with a nod and a wink.
Brothers and Sisters, if you cannot yet see that all this is been carried out by Trump on behalf of Zionists in the U.S. and in Israel, you're a bigger fool than I am. 
Trump is Putin's protégé.   It's the one great shot he has to destroy America and, do you know what, the accountability processes designed as checks and balances are actually helping achieve that very destruction.   Again if you cannot see this, you are a bigger fool than I.
If America survives Trump intact, there are many lessons to be learned from the highly professional efforts of foreign actors - Saudis, Israeli Zionists, U.S. Christian Zionists, Zionists to plot together - with their international cabals in Europe and elsewhere - to destroy the United States as the United States and reduce it to a subjugated vassal to foreign interests.
The egg timer is running low.   The clock is running out.
Someday you may have to answer the question: ''Daddy-Mommy, what were you doing while Donald Trump was destroying America and its institutions?''

As Donald Trump 'Exhorts' His Staff To 'Defy' Congress Subpoenas, What Will Happen Next?

Yesterday (Sunday morning) I watched an interview with a University of Essex (United Kingdom) Professor on CNN where the dynamics of U.S. politics does not appear to have been entirely grasped nor the fundamentals of the dynamics of Congress and what the likely scenario to play out will, more likely than not, be.
For a number of years I was on the editorial board of a Transatlantic Review (based at The University Of Essex) which explained both U.S and U.K. political dynamics through the eyes of the decision makers (see below.)
It is not out of disrespect but more to give an alternative perspective that I  am adding what I think is likely to happen this week and beyond:
Those former White House Staff who have been served with subpoenas and are anxious to clear their names (smeared by Donald Trump in his misleading and false statements) will appear before the Committee (and any sub-Committees requested) to give their evidence and ensure that they have future careers (and working lives!) in their respective professions - free of the criminal charge or, at the very least, free of the inference that, in the year of Our Lord 2019, they had obstructed or had been in contempt of  The Congress Of The United States Of America.
Donald Trump can, if he so wishes, personally stand outside the Committee Room entrance door and summarily ''dissuade'' (using physical force) or execute (with a shot to the head or other part of the body - a procedure very common in North Korea or, indeed, where a Mafia Godfather has been grievously ''disrespected'' - with contempt) each former member of his White House Staff as they pass through on  their way to be received by Congressman Chairman Nadler.    This is his executive privilege.
Those who want to defy a Congress subpoena - on the urging of Donald Trump - which instruction to defy Congress he will of course deny he ever gave in writing saying at some future time, that he was merely expressing his personal opinion and that they (White House Staff) all acted on their own initiative - to defy Congressional subpoenas - without his implicit nor explicit ordering; all those who believe in Trump's supremacy over the provisions of the U.S. Constitution will not appear before Congress.

So brothers and sisters, folks, this is how, in my opinion, the above circus is likely to play out.
[My own view is that history will not look kindly on those current nor former White House Staff who 'stick' their finger(s) up at The Congress Of The United States of America.]



Patrick Emek, April 29, 2019

Epilog:
I was asked if there are any other scenarios to Trump executing former White House Staff outside the door of the Congressional hearing Committee Room.  
There is, as I understand it, just one.  
The White House Legal Counsel could issue an injunction - and hand it (or throw it at!) the subpoenaed attendee outside the Committee Room.  [ I am not joking here (!); as jocular as it might seem (!) ]
However, to enforce an injunction against a Congressional subpoena, could, again as I understand it, in itself, be regarded as a contempt of Congress as Presidential privilege does not supersede (or is not superior to) a Congressional subpoena unless quite clearly covered by presidential executive privilege.

The Special Counsel's Investigation Into Russian Interference In the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election:
(Parts I and II)

The attached are the 'unpolished' - but likewise redacted - early DoJ release Of Special Counsel
Robert Mueller's Investigation.
It is unknown by this website what the unredacted version contains.
It is speculated that it may, at least, contain some further insight into Robert Mercer's role as a courier and money launderer for Vladimir Putin and how this interacted with Cambridge Analytica in the context of espionage organized by Russia's GRU through intermediaries.
This may be the most important single investigation ever carried out which details the extent of Russia's penetration of both U.S. politicians and powerful financial entities in order to undermine the United States both domestically and internationally.   (In my opinion, it's ''payback'' for 'losing' the 'Cold War.')
There is one aspect which 'leaps' out at me - and is nowhere within the scope of the Special Counsel's brief:  Trump has surrounded himself with a 'cabal' of individuals whose only 'vision' is Mammon.
As with his son-in-law, they believe that Mammon is the answer to every problem:- simply put enough money on the table and everyone will forsake their ideals and values.   (Perhaps they are right and I am wrong.)  But here's my take:  Such individuals will sell out not only the United States, but the primacy of the Dollar itself -  to any hostile power - if the price (in power and influence) is right - and Mr Putin is acutely aware of this.
This aspect 'leaps' at me when I look at the international (global) extent and reach of these Trump- supporter-billionaires - and almost all of The President's Cabinet are a part of this 'cabal'.
All of such matters were way way beyond the Pale - far beyond the brief of Special Counsel Mueller.
I would ask you to keep them in mind when you cross-reference Parts I and II of The Special Counsel's Investigation with known information about this 'cabal' surrounding President Donald J. Trump.   (You can find most of such individuals discussed in blogs at this website - so you don't have to 'travel' nor 'troll' all over the internet to find out who they all are.)
That's my (unusual)  'Takeaway' from the Mueller Report.    

Now read the unpolished (but redacted) Special Counsel's Investigation, Parts I and II, by clicking on the links below.

ROBERT MERCER :— 

MONEY LAUNDERER FOR 

VLADIMIR PUTIN

Renaissance Technologies (RENTEC) is the second largest hedge fund in the US, managing $45 billion in assets. It has a reputation for being the most successful hedge fund in history, for using quantitative trading strategies designed by top scientists, and for being extremely secretive.Publicly available information on RENTEC implies that the firm is a massive money laundering tool disguised as a hedge fund, operating on behalf of Vladimir PUTIN.

BACKGROUND

Money laundering involves a transaction where illicit money is spent by one party, producing a seemingly legitimate profit for another party. Ostensibly the two parties are unrelated, but in reality, both parties are closely connected.
The money laundering process can be summarized in three steps:
• SOURCE Secure illegally sourced funds.
• TRANSACT Illegal money is used in a transaction, resulting in profits for another party.
• COVER UP The true nature of the transaction is visible only to insiders.
Evidence suggests money laundering via financial markets works like this:
• SOURCE Criminal organization invests in a hedge fund (Fund A) operating in a market with a high degree of corruption (for example Russia).
• TRANSACT On behalf of Fund A, an international bank purchases a security in the corrupted market. The bank then sells(i.e. shorts) the same security in a second developed market (for example the UK), and forwards the proceeds to Fund B. Both funds are owned by the same criminal organization.
• COVER UP The nature of the transactions are obfuscated with advanced financial techniques and the inner workings of the fund are kept secret.
A significant degree of sophistication is required to launder money in plain sight via financial markets. Due to this sophistication, it’s unlikely direct evidence will come to light without access to internal records. However, by using other cases as a guide, the following mosaic of indirect evidence will likely be found:
• SOURCE Key people are connected to criminal organizations via one or more intermediaries.
• TRANSACT An abnormally high rate of return that allows significant amounts of money to be laundered in a short amount of time. Evidence of buying and selling the same securities in different markets.
• COVER UP History of using financial engineering to hide the nature of transactions and a reputation for extreme secrecy.

SOURCE

Russia is controlled by a vast organization comprised of the intelligence services, organized crime and big business. This organization is led by Vladimir PUTIN and control is maintained through corruption, blackmail and assassination. (1)Because of the high degree of control PUTIN has over Russian centers of power, all Russians in positions of influence should be assumed to have at least PUTIN’s blessing. Any persons significantly connected with these Russians are likely contributing to PUTIN’s goals either witting or otherwise.

Robert MERCER is co-CEO of RENTEC. MERCER is the largest financial backer of Donald TRUMP’s presidential campaign, and an influential funder of Republicans and conservatives causes including Citizens United. (2)


MERCER invested in data science firm CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA. MERCER insisted TRUMP campaign hire CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA to design its social media strategy. Through CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA and its owner Vincent TCHENGUIZ, MERCER is connected to PUTIN protégé Dmitry FIRTASH and Russian Intelligence Services (RIS). (3, 4)


March 2017 MERCER’s yacht the ‘Sea Owl’ was spotted in the British Virgin Islands, anchored next to Dmitry RYBOLOVLEV’s yacht the ‘Anna.’ RYBOLOVLEV is a member of PUTIN’s inner circle and likely his personal courier. (5)


MERCER is part owner of BREITBART news. The FBI is investigating BREITBART and CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA for cooperating with RIS during the 2016 US election. Evidence suggests that CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA and BREITBART used information warfare techniques in cooperation with RIS to support TRUMP and attack Hillary CLINTON. (3, 6, 7)

Several of RENTEC’S Russian born employees have been in the news:

• In the late 1990s Alexey KONONENKO was given a prominent role within RENTEC’s equities group. His rapid promotion was questioned by colleagues and characterized as a “power play.” (8)

• In 2001 RENTEC sued two Russian employees Alexander BELOPOLSKY & Pavel VOLFBEYN for intellectual property theft after they left for rival fund Millennium Partners. (8)


• In 2006 Alexander ASTASHKEVICH shot and killed his wife and himself. (9)


Prior to starting RENTEC in 1982, the firm’s founder Jim SIMONS was a cryptologist, contracted to the NSA. Like Edward SNOWDEN, SIMONS would have been a valued target for recruitment by RIS. (10)

2014 RENTEC received media attention for increasing its holding in Russian telecom company VIMPLECOM. Newsworthy because the stock was dropping following Russia’s annexation of Crimea. In 2016 RENTEC further increased its holding in VIMPLECOM by 438%. VIMPLECOM is controlled by PUTIN insider Mikhail FRIDMAN. (11)

TRANSACT
In the past 20 years the average hedge fund returned 9% per year. In the same period RENTEC’s “MEDALLION” fund averaged 40%. After twenty years, one-thousand dollars invested in the average hedge fund would be worth nearly six-thousand dollars, the same investment made in MEDALLION would be worth over eight hundred-thousand dollars. (22)
RENTEC has long claimed that it must limit the size of its MEDALLION fund (most recently at $10 billion) in order to preserve its high rates of return. So, it was newsworthy when shortly after the election of Donald TRUMP the firm announced that it would be increasing the fund’s size by fifty percent and that employees would only have several weeks to raise additional funds. This would increase the fund to $15 billion and at current rates of return would produce a profit of $6 billion in 2017. In normal years virtually all profits of the fund are returned to investors instead of being re-invested. This unusual degree of cash returned to investors could be used to facilitate money laundering. (22)
Hedge funds are normally secretive in order to prevent competitors from copying their investment strategies. However, RENTEC is not only secretive about its strategies, but also about its financial position and executive compensation. For this reason, very little is known about internal workings of the firm. What can be pieced together is RENTEC uses quantitative models to buy and sell millions of stocks a year based on statistical ARBITRAGE strategies. Statistical ARBITRAGE attempts to make money by buying one security and selling another. These securities could be similar stocks in the same industry, or the same security trading in different markets.

COVER UP 

In 2017 DEUTSCHE BANK was fined $425 million by the US government for laundering $10 billion out of RUSSIA using a scheme known as MIRROR TRADES. The scheme involved a customer in Moscow ordering DEUTSCHE BANK to buy shares for Rubles and then to immediately sell an identical amount of the same shares in London for Dollars. (14)


The money used in the scheme belonged to Igor Putin (cousin of Vladimir PUTIN) and the ROTENBERG brothers who are old friends of PUTIN. Investigators speculated that MIRROR TRADES where a part of a much larger money laundering operation but to date no additional evidence has been made public. To outsiders MIRROR TRADES are nearly indistinguishable from ARBITRAGE. (14)
MIRROR TRADES were kept under the radar by trading “over the counter”, and through a remote booking feature that did not require direct participation of the London office. Records showing losses at the end of the trading day would mysteriously show zero losses at the beginning of the next day. This strongly indicates traders were JOURNALING assets (moving assets between accounts) in order to make up for losses in one account with gains from another. (14, 15)
RENTEC is currently under investigation by the IRS for using a similar financial engineering structure to MIRROR TRADES known as BASKET OPTIONS (an option containing many different securities). Congressional investigators have claimed BASKET OPTIONS were used to avoid taxes and limitations on leverage, but they could also be used to facilitate money laundering. On behalf of the MEDALLION fund, RENTEC purchased an option from DEUTSCHE BANK and then sold the option one year later and claimed the long-term tax rate (24%) applied. In reality RENTEC exercised full control of the contents of the option, and executed hundreds of millions of high frequency transactions a year, most lasting only milliseconds. (16, 17)


If the IRS finds that RENTEC should be charged the short-term tax rate (44%), the fund will owe $6.8 billion. 2017 McClatchy reported on the investigation and specifically linked the possible tax bill with the increasing investments in political candidates made by RENTEC executives. 

Two weeks after the report was published the author Scott CHRISTIANSON died from massive head trauma at his home. (16, 18)

Evidence presented to US Congressional committee investigating RENTEC show that DEUTSCHE BANK allowed RENTEC to JOURNAL assets between sub accounts, thereby avoiding market transactions of buying and repurchasing the same security that could be interpreted as manipulative trading. Other evidence included emails from William BROEKSMIT, the DEUTSCHE BANK employee charged with managing the BASKET OPTIONS for RENTEC where he went into detail how the scheme was executed. 

In 2014 BROEKSMIT was found dead in his London apartment as result of hanging. (16, 19)


RENTEC is also currently under investigation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. RENTEC has resisted calls from the agency to hand over source code that runs MEDALLION’s trading algorithms. (20)
RENTEC manages three separate funds, two of these funds are available to outside investors. The third fund is the highly secretive MEDALLION and only accepts money from RENTEC employees. Records show that only five executives own seventy percent of the fund. In 2009, investors in the public funds were unhappy that MEDALLION’s returns far exceeded returns of their investments. These complaints led to an SEC investigation. SIMONS took the blame and resigned, making MERCER co-CEO together with IBM colleague and former roommate Peter BROWN. (21, 23)
CONCLUSION
The preceding sections demonstrate RENTEC has connections with Russian elites, produces extremely high rates of return via ARBITRAGE transactions, and engages in financial engineering techniques that are functionally equivalent to known money laundering methods. These are all red flags that imply RENTEC is involved in money laundering on behalf of Vladimir PUTIN.







































The evidence suggests that RENTEC is a massive Russian money laundering operation hiding under the guise of a highly successful hedge fund. The scheme functions similar to MIRROR TRADES where shares are purchased in Moscow, immediately sold by RENTEC in the US, recorded as RENTEC’s profit, and the shares JOURNALED between US and Moscow accounts by DEUTSCHE BANK. RENTEC hides this scheme by executing hundreds of millions of trades a year, by using BASKET OPTIONS, and by limiting investment of the fund to RENTEC insiders. Every year RENTEC is capable of washing funds equal to the annual profits of its MEDALLION fund which are estimated at $6 billion this year.











































For this scheme to be successful, all senior RENTEC leadership would have been involved including MERCER and SIMONS. In the 2016 election cycle MERCER spent $15 million on Republican candidates with the majority going towards supporting Donald TRUMP. In the same year SIMONS also spent $15 million, but on Democratic candidates, much of it going towards Hillary CLINTON. Regardless of the election result, PUTIN was guaranteed to have an agent with significant influence on the President of the United States.
