Former UK Prime Minister Returns to Goldman

Sunak Rishi

The door continues to revolve at Goldman Sachs as former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced he is returning to the firm as a senior advisor. Goldman Sachs has successfully penetrated governments globally. The revolving door is deep, systemic, and a clear conflict of interest that will never be addressed.

“I am excited to welcome Rishi back to Goldman Sachs in his new capacity as a Senior Advisor,” David Solomon, chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs, said in a statement. “In his role, he will work with leaders across the firm to advise our clients globally on a range of important topics, sharing his unique perspectives and insights on the macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape,” he added. Rishi formerly worked for Goldman before entering the UK parliament in 2015. He then went on to hold numerous positions of power, including acting as the nation’s finance minister. In fact, Rishi is STILL a member of the UK parliament even though he stepped down from his role as the leader of the Conservative Party.

Rishi attempted to return to Goldman this past May but a government watchdog agency insisted he wait a year as his advise could “overlap” with his political obligations and his “appointment could be seen to offer unfair access and influence within the UK government.”

That is how Goldman operates. The Revolving Door Project created an Independent Federal Agencies Leadership Tracker to show how often government employees swing back and forth between their positions at Goldman and the government. This is a global issue that spans across party lines.

GoldmanSachs

There has NEVER been any investigation of former Goldman Sachs people who take strategic government positions and alter policy only to leave. Robert Rubin ushered through the repeal of Glass-Steagall and resigned. Hank Paulson saved AIG, whose default would have taken down Goldman, while he eliminated two top Goldman competitors over who had the authority to bailout Lehman and Bear. There was no authority to bail out an insurance company operating in London, no less, to skirt US regulation. Even the seizure of our former company, Princeton Economics, was run by a court-appointed receiver who was a full-time board member of Goldman Sachs – Alan Cohen.

Yet, the burning question is simple. Is Goldman or its people going just too far? Their “former” people seem to be controlling the world financial system. Why is that so many people come from the same firm? Nobody will investigate because Goldman is simply one of the too big to jail and otherwise known as the Untouchable.

Goldman traded against clients

It would be very nice if someone simply conducted an investigation to see what perks these people collect after they leave government service. But why should anyone do that? Everyone in Washington and the Department of Just Us dreams of getting a job at Goldman. Every charge filed against Goldman has been dropped or paid off. They not only control the politicians but also every regulatory agency.

Again, Goldman has infiltrated every single government. It helped in structuring the euro, for example, and was accused of hiding the debt of Greece to permit it to enter the EU. Luckily Petros Christodoulou worked for the nation’s public debt management agency and led the National Bank of Greece after working for Goldman Sachs.

Mario Draghi, former PM of Italy, President of the European Central Bank, and Governor of the Bank of Italy worked as the Vice Chairman at Goldman Sachs International. Former Prime Minister of Italy and EU Commissioner Mario Monti was an international adviser at Goldman. Again, another former Italian Prime Minister, Romando Prodi, worked for Goldman and later became the President of the European Commission.

Revolving Door

Former European Union leader José Manuel Barroso went back and forth from Goldman to politics. Canada’s Mark Carney is a former employee. In the US, you have Robert Rubin, Gary Gohn, Steve Mnuchin, Jon Corzine, Jim Himes, Steve Bannon – the list goes on.

Germany’s Alice Weidel is called far-left and anti-establishment for being the head of the AfD but she too is a former Goldman employee. Malcolm Turnbull, who previously headed Goldman Sachs Australia, later became the Prime Minister of Australia and Minister for the Environment. Montenegro’s PM Milojko Spaijic is Goldman, as is Sweden’s Minister of Finance Erik Asbrink and Nigeria’s Minister of Finance Olusegun Agana. The head of international affairs at Goldman, Robert Zoellick, even went on to become the President of the World Bank and US Trade Representative, Deputy Secretary of State.

The revolving door is never-ending. It seems like it’s only a matter of time before the conspiracy theories finally give up on bashing the Rothschilds and open their eyes to who really has the power to be a mover and shaker.

Jeffrey Epstein Did Not Kill Himself

(Pam Bondi in February 2025)

Jeffrey Epstein carried out the most successful, deeply rooted blackmail operation in modern history. US intelligence agencies suddenly pivoted to say that Jeffrey Epstein never kept a client list, did not blackmail political figures, and was not murdered. Epstein’s case has been deemed a conspiracy by the deep state, but the truth of the matter is that his connection runs so deeply that unveiling the plethora of information he kept could topple governments.

Those familiar with my writings are aware of “The Club,” a group of powerful market manipulators who possess the financial means to create shadow governments. Robert Maxwell is Ghislaine Maxwell’s father with deep ties to Mossad. In an earlier post, I explained in detail Maxwell’s connection to the Club, Goldman Sachs, Lehman, Safra, and other major players. “The Plot to Seize Russia” also details his connections that tie into the deep state intelligence agencies. Epstein Island was far more than a pedophile ring.

(Pam Bondi in February 2025)
Maxwell

I believe Epstein was running one of the largest honeypot schemes in modern history. He likely offered two big services: one being the most detestable crime known to man, and the other being the service of blackmail. He used his money and connections to grow his successful operation and was protected by his powerful clients. The blackmail he compiled on countless elites is now in the hands of the US government.

Everyone visited Epstein Island on both sides of the aisle of government. I’d imagine the majority of major public figures would be on the Epstein list to some capacity. The FBI and CIA have been sitting on a mountain of evidence for years. Not a single person, besides Ghislaine Maxwell, has been arrested or prosecuted. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for trafficking children to no one? We know of numerous high-profile members of Epstein’s inner circle already but they have neither been canceled or investigated. The government began deliberately releasing information incrementally to distract the public from bigger issues. These news stories reach every outlet GLOBALLY, but nothing ever comes of it.

EpsteinBinders

The Trump Administration put on quite a show by handing out binders filled with alleged classified information on Epstein. “This material… is never going to be released. Never going to see the light of day,” AG Pam Bondi recently stated. Yet in February 2025, Bondi said that the new administration wanted the public to have transparency regarding the Epstein files. “It’s a new administration and everything is going to come out to the public,” further suggesting imminent disclosure of significant new information related to Epstein’s case. She clearly stated that there was, in fact, a client list that would be released to the public.

The US justice system acknowledged the crime when Maxwell was indicted in 2021:

  1. The charges set forth herein ster fron the role of GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, in the sexual exploitation and abuse of multiple minor girl’s by Jeffrey Epstein. In particular, fron at least in or about 1994, up to and including at least in or about 2004, MAXWELL assisted, facilitated, and contributed to Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of minor girls by, among other things, helping Epstein to recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse victims known to MAXWELL and Epstein to be under the age of 18. The victims were as young as 14 years old when they were groomed and abused by MAXWELL and Epstein, both of whom knew that certain victims were in fact under the age of 18.
  2. As a part and in furtherance of their scheme to abuse minor victims, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, and Jeffrey Epstein enticed and caused minor victims to travel to Epstein’s residences in different states, which MAXWELL knew and Intended would result in their grooming for and subjection to sexual abuse. Moreover, in an effort to conceal her crimes, MAXWELL repeatedly lied when questioned about her conduct, including in relation to some of the minor victims described herein, when providing testimony and under oath in 2016.
Epstein when will he die

I am the ONLY person who can speak with any authoritative knowledge of 10 South – the “HOLE” where Jeffrey Epstein supposedly killed himself, which is a joke! When they were taking my lawyers away, they did not want them to talk to me. They amazingly put me in 10 South with all the terrorists, which is the MOST SECURE facility in New York City – PERIOD! They later said they had no idea how I got there. This is where the Feds love to torture people. Let me make a fundamental statement that nobody in the media talks about. They have a SPECIAL ROOM for people on suicide watch. Epstein was not in that cell. It has a large concrete bed with perhaps a 1-inch plastic mattress. Your hands and feet are tied, so you cannot harm yourself. I was in the hole there not on criminal charges or anything – but in civil contempt of court, thrown in with the terrorists from the World Trade Center attack – the 1st one. I was not in the suicide cell – you knew that was the ultimate torture chamber.

On July 25th, 2019, I warned that Epstein would NEVER be allowed to go to trial. They tried to kill me, but I survived after being in a coma for several days. This is what they do when they cannot take you to trial. Remember the torture they were doing in Abu Ghraib? The US pays professionals to learn how to torture. Guantanamo Bay would be an empty prison if they were guilty. They would put them on trial publicly and pump up the press and the prosecutors would become famous and then run for political office. Their best case was put on trial, and the jury found him innocent of over 200 charges and guilty of only one count of conspiracy.

VanceEpstein

Epstein would have been able to call everyone to the court as a witness. It would have been the most sensational trial in history. There was no way he would be allowed to go to trial. From inside sources on Capitol Hill, I was told they tried to release Guantanamo Bay prisoners quietly, but they were killed back home, assuming they were converted to CIA spies. They have been completely denied Due Process of law and anything that remotely resembles human rights. The entire video surveillance on Jeffrey Epstein that was released is not only fake, but there is a key minute missing. Then they claim that the two guards supervising the highest profile prisoner were asleep on the job. The guards were not punished because they cooperated.

Jeffrey Epstein DID NOT KILL HIMSELF.

Donald Trump’s sudden pivot on the Epstein case comes at the same time as Netanyahu’s visit–no surprise there. The US government may have seized the files from Epstein Island, but Epstein was working for Mossad, and they, too, have all the information. The ties are absolutely everywhere, and no one in the US government will ever allow the Epstein trial to see the light of day. So now the entire Epstein Island debacle has been classified as a conspiracy to protect the deep state. Confidence in government has been permanently undermined.

Twitter CEO Resigns as Elon Musk’s Epic Political Meltdown Continues


Posted originally on CTH on July 9, 2025 | Sundance

Following Elon Musk’s decision to start a new political party Twitter/X platform CEO Linda Yaccarino announces her departure.  Musk responds with a polite, “Thank you for your contributions.”

(VIA X) – After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of 𝕏.

When [Elon Musk] and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.

I’m incredibly proud of the X team – the historic business turn around we have accomplished together has been nothing short of remarkable.

We started with the critical early work necessary to prioritize the safety of our users—especially children, and to restore advertiser confidence. This team has worked relentlessly from groundbreaking innovations like Community Notes, and, soon, X Money to bringing the most iconic voices and content to the platform. Now, the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with Xai.

X is truly a digital town square for all voices and the world’s most powerful culture signal. We couldn’t have achieved that without the support of our users, business partners, and the most innovative team in the world.

I’ll be cheering you all on as you continue to change the world.

As always, I’ll see you on 𝕏

According to multiple media reports, the Tesla board of directors is not happy with Musk, multiple investors have retreated from their holdings. Now the CEO of his X platform exits as President Trump says, “I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely “off the rails,” essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks.”

Watch Larry Ellison.  Without Ellison Musk would not have survived so far.

The prideful Elon Musk is seemingly going into a deep downward spiral.  Pride cometh before…

Douglass Mackey, aka “Ricky Vaughn”, Wins Second Circuit Court of Appeals – Dismissing Egregious First Amendment Prosecution


The background of the insufferable case is HERE and HERE.

Today, the second circuit court of appeals finally overturns one of the most ridiculous Obama/Biden dystopian lawfare cases against the first amendment.  Defendant Douglass Mackey wins his appeal and the case is dismissed [RULING HERE]

The ridiculous case was against Douglass Mackey, aka Twitter user Ricky Vaughn, who posted a silly meme against Hillary Clinton in 2016.  The Biden DOJ prosecuted Mackey saying he was part of a conspiracy to rob Clinton of the election, by posting memes of disinformation around the election.

Mackey was tried and convicted in New York; however, finally an appeals court looked at the stupidity of it and ruled in his favor, sending the case back to the lower court for dismissal.

Literally all the guy did was post snarky memes poking fun of democrats and Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election…  However, the United States government claimed: “the defendant exploited a social media platform to infringe one the of most basic and sacred rights guaranteed by the Constitution: the right to vote.”

After the jury remained deadlocked for three days, and after thrice telling the judge they were deadlocked, Judge Ann Donnelly threatened not to release them from duty unless and until they came to a decision on guilt.  The jury in 2023 subsequently found Douglass Mackey, a 33-year-old who went by the name Ricky Vaughn on Twitter and a resident of Florida (insert DeSantis silence here), guilty of creating a meme against the interests of the U.S. government.

WSJ, NYT and WaPo Authors Promote Leaked Audio of Trump Threatening Xi and Putin


Posted originally on CTH on July 9, 2025 | Sundance 

CNN state media narrative engineers (think State Dept. in all things CNN) are running with a story to promote a new book by Josh Dawsey (Wall Street Journal – Author), Tyler Pager (New York Times – Author), Isaac Arnsdorf (Washington Post – Author) where they write about an audio segment by candidate Trump telling NY donors how he threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping.

The leaked audio is essentially unremarkable as President Trump has told this story several times. However, the background context is more interesting when we consider the motives of the WSJ, NYT and WaPo. Here’s the segment:

The WSJ is against President Trump based on economics; WSJ representing Wall Street. The NYT is against President Trump based on DHS/DOJ domestic opposition from within DC. The WaPo is against President Trump based on the CIA position and larger intelligence community. None of the motives within these outlets are challenged by the intellectually honest political observers.

So, what’s the play here?

Josh Dawsey (WSJ), Isaac Arnsdorf (WaPo), Tyler Pager (NYT)

There are trillions at stake.

The goals and objectives of the trio corporate aligned entities is to paint President Trump into a corner regarding Russia.

Currently Russian President Vladimir Putin is praising President Trump saying, he genuinely believes “Trump wants to create peace”, while simultaneously Putin is preparing for an American-led NATO war against Russia. How do these two points reconcile?

Actually, it’s not difficult.

President Putin is well aware that President Trump does not control the elements within the U.S. intelligence apparatus who are organizing and facilitating the proxy war using Ukraine. Simultaneously, President Putin senses that Trump genuinely wants to create peace.

In the mind of President Putin, and in the growing awareness of the American electorate, the President of the United States does not control the Intelligence Community. It is entirely possible for the USIC to take America to war despite the President and people of America not wanting that outcome. Putin is simply prepared for that outcome.

That reality explains the dynamic where President Trump engages with President Putin in an effort to stop the war in Ukraine, yet President Putin continues the war in Ukraine because he knows President Trump does not control the elements that facilitate the Ukraine military.

People struggle with this concept; however, I would remind everyone that right now YOU are paying for the entire government of Ukraine to exist. Including the Ukraine govt payrolls, retirement benefits, healthcare and operational budget of Ukraine overall.

Americans do not want to pay for that. President Trump does not want to pay for that. Yet, here we are; paying for that. The same unilateral process applies to the literal Ukraine war and conflict with Russia.

You might not want it. President Trump might not want it; yet, here we are providing weapons, intelligence, satellite communication, personnel and systems for the war. This is the reality of the situation regardless of your/my willingness to accept it.

President Putin cannot negotiate based on a reality of what he would like to see. Instead he has to make determinations based on what is factually evident. Putin accepts things as they are, not as the rest of the world pretends them to be. Therein lies the problem.

[NOTE: “cockroaches” in a Russian context are individuals who oppose your goals]

I have said all along the #1 way to cut this Gordian knot is to stop pretending. However, the pretenders are working diligently to block President Trump’s knot cutting desires. This the the context for the audio “leak” promoters in combination with the motive of the entities who recorded and leaked it.

I will keep watching, from a position of advanced reconnaissance.  It’s no longer safe here and I’m working my way back {fingers crossed}. These simple truths are evident from looking directly at where things are now and I share them because we cannot have an honest conversation without first acknowledging the true landscape around us.

The Epstein stuff is serving a purpose.  People are chasing the shiny thing.

Trump does not want war with Russia.  However…

Just in case he fails, prepare for war.

Enjoy your day.

Live your very best life.
