Would you consider setting up a GoFundMe for him? (And if he needs it perhaps post a request for a pro Bono lawyer even if international who could assist him)

I think many like me would love to contribute. And he and Leah do need your amazing help to get this story anywhere close to mainstream. I am even only catching up now

Thank you always,

Jan

PS: there was recent attempt to silence me on Twitter – my old @janforney1 account was hacked and Twitter tag changed- posts still searchable tho.

I’m told it was likely by CIA-tied cabal Eric Prince D’Andrea Taylor cabal I sent you info on. They also do child abduction/ trafficking in US (Boston) -and did in Afghanistan I believe.

my new tag is @jan_forney. I hope that You and LB know I am fighting with you and trying to do my part. ???????

Thank you, Tom

I just saw this. My apologies for using the wrong Mercer logo in reference to the Mercer family. Thanks for the correction.

Find an Ancient Theatre History textbook called “Against the Grain: From Ritual to Realism” by John Franceschina. Look at his bio. Notice the other books he’s written. Now, let’s talk about what lies behind those golden doors of sin.

Was Fred Trump at the 1929 Atlantic City “Meeting of the Mob”? Per Dr. Mary’s book, her g parents honeymooned there, so I wonder if his wife checked out mentally when she realized what she’d married into? Of all the places they could afford to go honeymoon, why there? He came from hospitality/brothel roots and that pattern most likely continued in that grand mahogany bar room he built in his new house. Perhaps his long-time sec’y/asst. was his Ghislane.

Radio was a “twitter” in the U.S. after 1920 when Warren Harding first communicated with 120,000 people and the Navy regulated its use because of hacking by Hamm Radio operators. I would imagine Europe had the same technology not long after.

Yeah video podcasts are best enjoyed on the Apple Podcasts app. Unfortunately only Apple provides video. To accommodate people who prefer audio, the last few pods are available on other podcast apps. Just search ‘Narativ Live’ and look for the audio only version. I’m still waiting on Spotify to register the podcast. Thank you for your support and feedback. Every bit helps.

If a magic 8 ball had a grudge against Israel would you ask it questions with regards to national security?

Using Ben-Menashe as a reputable source for anything more complicated than making a peanut-butter & jelly sandwich is a bad idea. And you know that.

There are enough connections to the Republican party and what we see today and Iran/Contra that should all be followed; that means both individual players and themes like stealing elections, d*cking around in the MENA, using Israel as a tool of U.S. policy and a fall guy, Big Oil connections and worldwide implications of Oil and the economy, and cover-ups.

This is not how.

All this does is label the Israelis as an out of control behind the scenes puppet master. The same canard as always used against the Jew.

Ben-Menashe’s Montreal based lobbying firm was hired by Sudanese general Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo in a $6M deal. The firm, Dickens & Madson Inc, signed a deal offering to seek government recognition, funding and “striving to obtain funding and equipment for the Sudanese military” with General Dagalo.

General Dagalo’s forces carried out the Khartoum massacre where more than 100 protesters were killed.

That massacre was practically yesterday… it was Monday, 3 June 2019.

Dayenu with Ben-Menashe. And don’t be so desperate as to be falling through the looking glass every time someone offers you a “story”.

The article say independently confirmed. We do not reveal sources but you can take that to mean as from a source in a position to know. That of course does not preclude him working for the others.

We’re pretty well researched on this. Read Mueller. Anyhow, one doesn’t preclude the other.

He’s a facebook co-founder but yes Paypal also.

I like to think of this as the passing of the mark #1 Donald Trump and #2 Jared Kusher from Putin’s control and off his bankroll onto the Saudis and the UAEs with the payment in plain sight and the back end obscured in specific detail (where did Ryobelev place his windfall) likely in the form of loan, that would never have to be repaid, as Fred Trump did so many times for Donald Dumb, to cover Kusher and and TrumpCo’s notes with Deutsche Bank It fits in that it is plausible to argue that in 2008 Ryobablev (who partnered with Deripaska in the Bank of Cyprus, along with Trump’s current Secretary of Commerce, who is the one who owned Trump’s worthless paper in his 2008 bankruptcy), played a part with Wilbur in letting Donald Trump’s financial existence continue while leaving him with very few assets. In 2018, the Russians may have closed their ownership position in Trumpco and all it’s secrets to Saudi Arabia and the UAE by allowing them to pay down Trump and Kushner debts with proceeds from their overpayment for Salvator Mundi, so Putin could still hold records of his 45 and fams beng compromised while selling the presidency as an asset to the Saudis and the UAE — knowing it would soon be of far less value to them –while making Ryiobilev whole on his botched Salvador Mundi purchase. The transaction happened within two months of Jared’s “secret” multi-day sleepover” @ MBZ’s, and we know bidding the panel up to 450 mil occurred exclusively between two allies with the crown prince of the UAE as the other bidder, The Mundi bidders knew who was on the other side and wouldn’t have bidded the questionable work up against each other unless it was somehow buying both of their nations something. It even fits that the early interchanges about this deal likely date back to Jared and Ivanka vacationing with long time art market player and gay secrets master David Geffen and with Rupert’s ex-wife, the chinese matahari, Wendy Deng. It just so happens Geffen’s yacht pinged as being a 1000 yards away from Ryobelev’s yacht of the coast of Croatia during Wendy and his vacay with the Javankas. Throw in Trump’s accounts in Cyprus and wrap it up in bow. The pieces fit in so many ways and the Russians knew the inevitability of Trump being a spent asset in the most meaningful ways given their brazen attack on our election. Don’t burn the Mark, just pass him off on a patsy while keeping him in pocket on an as needed basis. I figure Mueller’s little mentioned part two of his investigation, money laundering/rico/influence peddling,, will cover this after he finishes part I, obstruction and conspiracy, if a nobody like me can stitch together these pieces just from surfing the net. Time will tell.

It was a German medal long before the Nazi party ‘inherited’ it.

It was a german military honor.

Maybe they wanted to suppress it for those reasons – hence, why it is hidden – no one can find it.

The Iron Cross was a Nazi military medal and honor. I don’t want anything like that for Mueller. He should get the Nobel Peace Prize.

I don’t think they cared one bit about it’s religious meaning, although that’s a plausible explanation for “losing” it, if this story ever gets brighter light shone upon it. It was not, I’m sure, bought for the subject matter or the less-than-unanimous attribution to Leonardo. It was just a tool to get to the $300M. One has to ask why the bidding stopped at the number it did (which, after the buyer’s premium, netted close to the desired amount), for once it went into the art market stratosphere, it could have stopped anywhere, in a normal auction bidding war. All knowledgeable bidders at the high end auctions do research and they set a limit above which they won’t go. The two bidders needed a piece that would go in the range of the final (agreed-upon) hammer price and either one could have stopped when they got close enough. As for why this painting, there’s literally no other painting potentially on the market that would fetch near that amount, not one even the subject of gossip, as far as I know. (I know of an Old Master painting in London that might go $200M – who knows? – but the owners would never play ball with these guys and the painting is not problematical.) To pull this off, the best way would be to have a “problem” painting – which this certainly is, both in attribution and condition – so that other legitimate bidders wouldn’t mess up the plan once it went over the high estimate. Then the two bidders (I don’t think this was a mistake) could simply go at it until, for some strange reason, bidding stopped at the required number, a number that made no sense to anyone in the art market. Christie’s, which was no doubt in on the plan (and much was invested in touring this painting around the world, pre-s auction), would of course express great astonishment (as they did), which gets them off the hook regarding offering up an explanation. As a backup, Christie’s had a guarantee from some potential bidder (one of the two?), but they would never reveal that number or person unless taken to court or subpoenaed. (Christie’s got the commission because Rybolovlev was already crosswise in litigation with Sotheby’s.) Whether the buyers were involved in getting Martin Kemp’s OK on the attribution, which one would certainly want since he’s the acknowledged Leonardo expert, or just played his ego, is impossible to say. Maybe both. There’s no real “proof,” since the full provenance isn’t known. Nobody should be fooled by the speculation that Qatar was the competing bidder, because Qatar had previously turned it down at $80M.That’s simply beyond belief, so much so that I’m surprised they even floated that story. Aside from a few art historical gaffes, which are mentioned above by Hank Ebes (plus a wrong estimate on the number of agreed-upon authentic Leonardos – probably about 15, not 20), this report rings true partly because, from an art history / art market POV, it is the only rational explanation I have heard that accounts for the unbelievable hammer price. All other attempts at explanation I’ve heard have been pure subjective guesses – a naïve buyer with too much money to toss around, an egomaniac buying just to say they own the most expensive painting in the world, etc. None of that cocktail conversation brings any closure or logical satisfaction..This is an astonishing story and one to keep an eye on.

Getting tired of “whataboutism,” the malady that comes on when the fox strikes at the heart of the nation.

The painting itself, the fact it’s a Leonardo, the fact it’s a depiction of Jesus Christ, probably do not matter at all to MbS. He probably has never seen it. The story for public consumption is that he acquired a masterpiece for a great museum in SA. The real story is that he transferred a lot of money to a Russian oligarch, and the Leonardo was pretty much only the prize in the box of Cracker Jack.

Kevin:
Surely the xtian theme is one that the average American would have no trouble with? Would, in fact, applaud. Even the elected lawmakers would be taken unaware, so innocent are they as to the ways of the Muslim world.

(I’m even learning not to be surprised when people don’t recognize the connection between Wahhabis, Saudi Arabia, and 9/11).

Since the Muslims don’t “do” human representations in art, would they even think to use one of their own artists as a support for the apparent flim-flam? It’s unlikely anyone could beat daVinci in the competition to be worthy of such a large chunk of cash. So many influential westerners are associated with the art world, too. If the bidding had happened in Cairo, maybe not da Vinci, but since the National Gallery and Christie’s were important in this flim-flam, ah, yes, let’s make it a daVinci.

(I’m thinking an auction in Rome would not have gone this way…..if the painting had been accepted for auction in the first place).

For generations the House of Saud has been identified with the strict Wahhabi version of Islam, which rejects as idolatrous any depiction of the human face or form. Not only does the title of the painting, “Savior of the World,” conflict with Islam; the clear orb in Jesus’ hand obviously represents the cosmos, which medieval philosophy believed consisted of transparent, nested spheres, as memorably described by Dante. Depicting Jesus as holding the globe of the cosmos in his hand, the painting unambiguously identifies Jesus with God, expressing in graphic, iconic form the Christian doctrine most repugnant to Islam.

I don’t know, nor have a suspicion, why MbS selected this painting, but I can’t believe it was selected without regard to its religious meaning. Does anyone else have a clue?

I pray you’re right! But this Leonardo tale is the best kaper I ever heard! B

The fact that money was laundered one way or an other is not surprising , but one thing is guaranteed . A small 90% restored , unsigned Christian religious painting , bought by two Arab billionaires who own two of the world’s largest Museums in Qatar and Dubai for a massive $450 US million (from the biggest Auction House in the world after it was sold earlier by the second biggest Auction house Sotheby’s for $75) with a history of previous owners involved in deals where it was part of a 2 billion $s art deal involving a Russian oligarch with friends in high places and a Swiss dealer with a spare $80 million does make you wonder how they managed to “loose” the object currently the key to graft and corruption.

Do you believe both sides are not dirty?

Ah, yes, the typical “both sides are dirty” whinge.
Classic Putin playbook.
Care to try again?

Personally, i am tired of the collusion & corruption in Both of our major political parties…

All open source reporting from credible organizations. Key facts are hyperlinked.

Is it another tRump account or a brown nosing puppet?

Hmmm sound like tRump has a fictious name here. Or just a brown nosing puppet.

With all the talk of targeting via Facebook and Cambridge Analytica no one else has mentioned the potential use of US medical records [via Dick Devos] to aid with the Trump campaign. I wonder what other info sources have been used.

Miller denies going to Iran in 2008, as Ledeen (who made the original assertion) claims he did. Ledeen was just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what could stick. Just trying to advance the Obama pro-muslim bs by the alt-right blowhards..In this day and age it would be simple to prove Miller went there if he did. Baseless as usual.
Trump advisers, cabinet and family are up to their necks, no….over their heads, in all that is Russia. No sanctions. Traitors.

What relationship?

And just how, do you think the DNC got all our personal information? You people are so stupid!!

“This guy’s dirty, Cosmo”

If it was fake news, the article wouldn’t be supplying links to backup the information provided. Apparently you’re not really interested in the truth. Just something palatable that suits your own political values and interests

Known for a long time – the MSM has failed to report on this – hopefully, Mueller will take Rudy down!

Thank you, corrected

The Republicans care nothing about the Constitution, only acquiring and maintaining power for themselves at all costs. They know that they do not represent the views of the majority of Americans, and that they can only gain power by cheating, suppressing the votes of fellow citizens who disagree with them, and by allying themselves with an outside power to steal elections. They see their fellow citizens as greater enemies than the Russians, naively ignoring the fact that it is the Russians whose primary goal is the destruction of American power and world leadership. We are witnessing the deliberate subversion of popular sovereignty by a radical minority political party in what amounts to a coup d’etat. The RNC and the Republican leadership are knowingly engaged in what the Founding Fathers would have called sedition and treason.

pick up your czeck at the kremlin asswipe!

Either we have a Constitution or we don’t. If there was collusion, Congress must act.
