Posted By: Ribicon, 12/6/2021 8:49:38 AM

President Biden announced an anti-corruption strategy Monday that targets cash transactions for real estate that might be used to hide ill-gotten wealth and calls on hedge funds to watch out for money laundering. The administration estimated that $2.3 billion was laundered through the U.S. real estate market from 2015 to 2020. “The U.S. real estate market has become a significant destination for the laundered proceeds of illicit activity, including corruption,” the White House said in a 38-page strategy that follows Mr. Biden’s June order to draft ideas.(Snip)Mr. Biden’s strategy calls for regulations that will detect corruption actors “hiding behind opaque corporate structures,”

Comments:

Fantastic. Mr. 10%, a tax cheat who sold political influence for years through bogus board memberships and consulting deals given to his crackhead son, who now launders money through gallery sales of "art," will crack down on corruption and money laundering. Just when you thought Clown World was taking a breather.

FTA: "The U.S. real estate market has become a significant destination for the laundered proceeds of illicit activity" Allow me to correct that statement - - - "The U.S. ART MARKET and PUBLISHING MARKET have become significant destinations for the laundered proceeds of illicit activity." Yes - - that's a whole lot more accurate!

Be sure to read to the end. FTA: The Treasury is tasked with creating a database, or “beneficial ownership registry,” that helps law enforcement track the true owners of companies and track corruption schemes. Is this the same treasury who will be able to see your bank accounts? Always look to see what the other hand is doing.

The Charlottesville, Va. city council on Tuesday unanimously approved a move for its now-infamous statue of Confederate leader Robert E. Lee to be melted down to create public artwork that will "reflect racial justice," The New York Times reported. The city council will give the statue to the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, which plans to melt the monument to create a new piece of public artwork, according to the measure. The city council selected the Jefferson School’s proposal “Swords Into Plowshares,” from other potential bidders for the statue, according to The Times.

Another moderate Senate Democrat plans to back a Republican-led effort to overturn President Biden’s national vaccine mandate for private businesses in a direct rebuke of the White House. Sen. Jon Tester, Montana Democrat, announced Tuesday that while he supported everyone getting “vaccinated as soon as possible,” the private sector mandate was a step too far. “Over the past few months, I’ve repeatedly heard concerns from Montana’s small business and community leaders about the negative effect the private business vaccine mandate will have on their bottom lines and our state’s economy,” Mr. Tester said. “That’s why I intend to join a bipartisan majority of my colleagues in defending Montana jobs

Atsuko Obando, an Asian woman and frontline worker during the pandemic, was targeted for her ethnicity by oft-arrested Raymond Bennett as they randomly crossed paths in the 116th St. subway station on Nov. 27, police said. He allegedly hurled a racist taunt after slamming her from behind with the handlebars of a bicycle. “I clearly saw that he was enjoying it,” the still-shaken 54-year-old victim told the Daily News. “I kept saying ‘You hurt me, it really hurts.’ Then he smiled

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine could be significantly less effective against the newly discovered Omicron variant that it was against previous strains of the virus. Researchers at the African Health Research Institute (AHRI) found that there are forty times less antibodies in Pfizer vaccine recipients that can fight Omicron than there are for other variants. The pre-print study, made available Tuesday pending peer-review, implies that the vaccine could be less effective against the strain detected last month in South Africa. Conclusions from it cannot yet be drawn, though, and researchers are not yet sure how much more likely the Omicron variant is to cause infection

A total of 68 doctors and nurses who work at a Spanish hospital have tested positive for COVID-19 since attending a massive Christmas party last week, officials said Monday. The infected medics work in the intensive care unit at University Regional Hospital in Malaga. They were all present at the Dec. 1 celebration that had 173 attendees, according to the Andalusian regional government. The source of the outbreak was still under investigation and authorities said a large meal for hospital staff could also be to blame. The cases are all considered mild. All the staffers who tested positive had either received their third booster vaccines or antigen tests before the party.

A modern-day slavery ring has been busted in Georgia where workers were raped, kidnapped and imprisoned in squalid camps, according to prosecutors. The crooks raked in more than $200 million by luring in over 100 desperate migrants from Mexico and Central America to the US, a federal indictment says. At least two people died in the brutal conditions that saw workers forced to handpick onions at gunpoint for just 20 cents per bucket in sweltering heat, and another was repeatedly kidnapped and raped. They were kept in squalid camps surrounded by electric fences or cramped living quarters, including dirty trailers with raw sewage leaks.

Mayor Bill de Blasio sprung a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on all private businesses in New York City on Monday—drawing immediate rebuke from trade groups and some fellow elected officials who said the backbone of the Big Apple was “blindsided” by the stunning move. Adding to the shockwave, the policy is scheduled to go into effect in just 21 days, on Dec. 27. The announcement left New Yorkers and the city’s business community flabbergasted. Kathryn Wylde, head of the business group Partnership for NYC, blasted the mayor’s announcement. “There’s no forewarning, no discussion, no idea about whether it’s legal or who he expects to enforce it,” she said.

With a massive build of Russian troops near Ukraine’s border, Russia’s Vladimir Putin is indicating a willingness to risk a military conflict, but analysts say while the threat is serious, an invasion is not certain. The threat of an invasion will be the central subject of President Biden’s video call with Putin on Tuesday. Biden is expected to warn of dire consequences should Russia follow through with a military offensive, while Putin is expected to reiterate his ultimatum that NATO should not allow Ukraine to join its military alliance. The outcome of the video call could have major implications as Putin weighs the potential costs of a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine.

Socialist Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib took to the House floor recently to complain about her personal student debt and advocated American taxpayers should bailout students like her. (Tweet/Video) Tlaib is a perfect example of how federal bailouts of student loans would actually benefit the rich. It’s not just the poor taking out loans. Students from families earning more than $114,000 a year borrow at the same rate as the lowest-income students — and they take out loans nearly twice as large. Students with advanced degrees — lawyers, doctors and others — account for 40% of all student debt.
