COMMENT: Marty, I find it curious that platforms like ___ ____ do not interview you when you are the guy with the biggest client base, the most experience, the guy governments have to talk to, and the guy they make movies about. When I asked my brother, who works on Wall Street in NYC, he said you were a whistleblower outing Soros, Buffett, and Goldman Sachs, among others, so they used the government to shut you up. The media’s avoidance is proof of a controlled narrative and that “they”take their orders just as they did with COVID. The video you put on about how they do the same thing in the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want you to hear, is absolutely chilling. So it is not just mainstream media, it is a lot of these channels that are obviously doing the same thing in finance as they did in COVID. If they do not interview you, there is something wrong.

REPLY: I met a former senior guy at the NY Daily News or NY Post. I do not recall which. He told me how it works. The government calls you and says they have a favor. Kill some story or spin it a certain way. If you do not, they come after you personally with tax audits you name it. That is how they control the media. They control YouTube, Facebook, and Wikipedia. Schools will not allow students to use Wikipedia as a source because it is not reliable and amounts to government controlled propaganda. I an others can provide the evidence that I was a whistleblower but it means nothing. Mainstream media will NEVER tell the truth. This is the world of FAKE NEWS that we live in. They, and some podcast platforms, are there to support the government narrative no matter how absurd it may be. We say that with COVID.

Michael Hastings, an American investigative journalist and contributing editor to Rolling Stone magazine. In early 2013, Hastings was actively working on a story about the National Security Agency (NSA) and was in contact with Edward Snowden’s legal team and associates. He exchanged emails with Snowden’s lawyer, Ben Wizner of the ACLU, about making contact with Snowden shortly after Snowden’s identity was revealed in June 2013. In the early morning hours of June 18, 2013, Hastings died in a single-car crash in Los Angeles. His Mercedes-Benz C250 Coupe ran head-on into a palm tree at high speed, erupted in flames, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The 2010-2013 Mercedes-Benz C250 is potentially vulnerable to remote hacking, He was 33 years old.

The crash was highly unusual. Witnesses reported the car was traveling at an extremely high speed. Just hours before the crash, Hastings had emailed colleagues saying he was working on a big story and needed to “go off the radar” for a bit. This sequence of events, combined with his sensitive national security work, fueled widespread speculation that they hacked his car and he was dead. Of course, the official investigation by the LAPD insisted that there was no evidence of foul play. The cause was listed as an accident. If the car was hacked and driven into a tree and burst into flames, they would never have been able to find if the car was being remotely controlled.

The government intimidated all the platforms and mainstream media employing that intimidation tactic in COVID and they use it all the time in any high-profile case to hide the truth. That senior editor from the NY paper told me when the judge threw the Associated Press out on April 27th, 2000 and took all my lawyers away, he said they knew I was innocent. The Sixth Amendment guarantees you a “public trial.” They threw the press out and illegally closed the court. The journalist from AP walked right up to the bench and said we are the AP, you cannot throw us out. Judge Owen ordered the marshall to escort her out. I appealed to the Second Circuit. They refused to ever rule against the judge.

Even the allegation they made against me was just an absurdity. A bank cannot say that $1 billion was missing and the bank had no idea where it was, was laughable. You cannot get $1 billion out of a bank without  a wire in which case you know where it went. The court appointed forensic accountant informed the court that I was the victim of the bank. The court looked the other way. They were protecting the bank and I would suspect many were paid off with the $400 million that stole from my firm aside from the restitution to all my clients.

I was interviewed by a journalist who was on to how the gane in ru=igged in NYC and asked me if the bank was illegally trading in my accounts “as they did in Madoff?” I said I could not verify that because i did not see where they backed out trades they said were errors. In Madoff’s case, there too the banks claimed to have had no knowledge. That was a lie for you have KNOWN YOUR CLIENT rules and Republic checked every single account we had. There is no way the banks were in the dark about Bernie Madoff (1938–2021). In an interview before he died, they saked him if the banks knew. He said of course. Not only are they TOO BIG TO FAIL, they are TOO BIG TO CRIMINALLY CHARGE!

I did an interview with the Japanese press and and told them to tell my clients to come to NYC and sue the bank our they would never see a dime. They did, and that is the only way the bank was forced to plead guilty and return the money they stole from my clients. The judges and prosecutors could NOT be that stupid. They were trying to aid the bank in stealing $1 billion from my clients because they lost $1 billion on Russia. hen I asked a NY lawyer why no banker is ever criminally charges, he responded: “You don’t shit where you eat.”

Even after the bank returned all the money to my clients, they then kept me in civil contempt where you are NOT entitled to a trial by jury – only in criminal contempt. I was never charged, they admitted that there was “no description of criminal activity” yet they kept me in prison with nothing – just to cover their ass. When I finally got to the Supreme Court and they ordered them to explain what was going on, only then was I released.

I had NO RESTITUTION because the bank stole the money. They write the script I was to read where I was not allowed to speak in my own words. Like any hostage held by a terrorist, you are handed a script that you are to read to pretend this is all legal.

They could not have me commit perjury since they wrote it. They had me say I failed to tell my clients that “these accounts would be separate and segregated from Republic’s own accounts and would not be available to Republic for its own benefit.”  The accounts were supposed to be segregated. The bank took the money anyhow – not me or for my benefit.

The evidence is as plain as day. When I was in prison during the 2007-2009 Crash, they three me in the hole to cut off my communication with Congress who still came to me because I have the experience and know the market manipulations and who is behind what. They resulted in the House Financial Services Committee sending a letter asking what was going on. Everybody was throwing the warden under the bus. The rumor was she got one of those phone calls to cut off my communications.

I am sure some of these podcasts and mainstream media are intimidated not to put me on. That certainly calls into question their integrity and what they report. We know that mainstream media keeps preaching the interest rate myths. You do have to be careful. That’s why I refuse to sell even advertising. There should not be an conflict of interest. They do not like Socrates because it writes over 1,000 reports daily and it does not use their stupid myths.
