AJ Weberman - Joe Biden - QFeb 19, 2023Guest regular AJ Weberman visits to talk about Biden and the Q phenomenon.He starts off the interview with some interesting stories about his association with Bob Dylan, but the interview progresses to issues with Biden and the mysterious and increasingly dangerous - then and now - Q disinformation aparatus.From WikipediaA.J.Weberman is an American writer, political activist, gadfly, and inventor of the terms "garbology" and "Dylanology". He is best known for his controversial opinions on, and personal interactions with, the musician Bob Dylan.

It is alleged, Hunter Biden, the surviving son of the President, dropped off a laptop at a computer store to be repaired, and emails and photos were discovered on it, some involving his father.The pictures are claimed to show Biden Jnr smoking crack and taking part in various sex acts, some of the pictures have been claimed to even capture abuse.But it was the trove of emails which political manipulators considered to be most damaging to the Democrats and Joe Biden; fervent denials were made that Biden ever spoke to his son about his business dealings with Ukraine businessmen, something it is claimed now to be known to be untrue, with the evidence provided in emails.The news was reported on in The New York post, after the technician involved in the computer repair cloned the harddrive (a standard procedure in computer repair), discovered the material on the original drive, copied the drive and then sent it to the then Presidents' legal mind, Rudi Guilliani. The alleged smoking-gun email The Post claims is contained in an email and details Hunter Biden setting up a meeting between his father and a Ukrainian energy firm executive. Hunter Biden was paid by the firm a finders' fee, of sorts.With current media being polarised and driven by clicks and ads, the whole conspiracy has become something of a behemoth, with people making their decision of which side of the fence they are on largely on their political inclinations; the provenance of the Post's story has even been called into question.In this solo show, Ed Opperman details his ongoing investigations into the affair, being one of the few investigators to have covered this story periodically over the last few years with facts and insight, despite efforts by powerful hands to discourage his efforts.0:00Change progress1:03:51Pearse Redmond Interviews Ed Opperman : Hunter Biden Laptop DramaFeb 23, 2021Pearse Redmond Interviews Ed Opperman : Hunter Biden Laptop Drama 3yi've listened to this ep and the true anon ep and every time i hear it i just get more confused.

Lucifer's Banker: The Untold Story of How I Destroyed Swiss Bank SecrecyAs a private banker working for the largest bank in the world, UBS, Bradley Birkenfeld was an expert in Switzerland's shell-game of offshore companies and secret numbered accounts. He wined and dined ultrawealthy clients whose millions of dollars were hidden away from business partners, spouses, and tax authorities. As his client list grew, Birkenfeld lived a life of money, fast cars, and beautiful women, but when he discovered that UBS was planning to betray him, he blew the whistle to the US Government. The Department of Justice scorned Birkenfeld's unprecedented whistle-blowing and attempted to silence him with a conspiracy charge. Yet Birkenfeld would not be intimidated. He took his secrets to the US Senate, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Internal Revenue Service, where he prevailed. His bombshell revelations helped the US Treasury recover over $15 billion (and counting) in back taxes, fines, and penalties from American tax cheats. But Birkenfeld was shocked to discover that at the same time he was cooperating with the US Government, the Department of Justice was still doggedly pursuing him. He was arrested and served thirty months in federal prison. When he emerged, the Internal Revenue Service gave him a whistle-blower award for $104 million, the largest such reward in history. A page-turning real-life thriller, Lucifer's Banker is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the secret Swiss high-net worth banking industry and a harrowing account of our government's justice system. Readers will follow Birkenfeld and share his outrage with the incompetence and possible corruption at the Department of Justice, and they will cheer him on as he ''hammers'' one of the most well-known and powerful banks in the world.0:00Change progress50:51Alan R. Warren - Blood Thirst - The True Story of Rapist Vampire Serial Killer Wayne BodenOct 24, 2023Wayne Clifford Boden was a Canadian serial killer and rapist active between 1969 and 1971. Boden killed four women, three in Montreal and one in Calgary, earning the nickname The Vampire Rapist for biting the breasts of his victims, and received four life sentences. Boden's was the first murder conviction in North America due to forensic odontological evidence.Known as the “Vampire Rapist” or “Strangler Bill” for his distinctive modus operandi, Wayne Boden would rape, strangle and bite the breasts of his victims. His murdering rampage would continue in two cities over three years; he was only caught by superior evidence gathering and the help of an orthodontist. This book asks the question of “How do we really know our boyfriend or lover when we don't want to ask the questions, not only because we don't want to know the answers for what it will tell us about them, but because of what it tells us about ourselves?” True Crime Author Alan R. Warren takes you through the details of the case including the dental impressions used in court to convict Boden, a first in Canadian history, as well as Boden's escape from a maximum-security prison.Book - Blood Thirst: True Story of Wayne Boden Vampire Rapist & Serial Killer Alan R.

A conversation about Brad's life. Born in Boston, he worked for giant Swiss bank UBS until 2005. Following his resignation, he blew the whistle to US authorities on practices enabling US citizens to evade billions of dollars in taxes. Though his whistleblowing caused UBS to pay huge sums of money to the IRS, and triggered large-scale reform of the Swiss banking industry, Brad was the only person involved who went to jail for these practices. He served 30 months in a prison nicknamed Camp Cupcake. Whilst incarcerated he discovered that (due to a law introduced in late 2006) the IRS were going to reward him with a percentage of the money he helped them recoup. He received $104m as a first payment. Today he lives between Malta and Italy and still rails against the corruption he believes is endemic in America and the world at large. Those are the bare bones of the story. Discover much more in our interview.

In this episode, The Annuity Man and Bradley Birkenfeld discuss:  Corruption in the government and our justice system The problem with bank secrecy and facts about the relationship between our government and bankers Getting incarcerated for doing the right thing Tax evasion in wealthy groups and how corruption happens in places The future of cryptocurrency and bankers    Key Takeaways:  If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem - you're either one of those.  The system is so ingrained with corruption that it has already become impossible to change anything.  Don't stand for corruption when you see it - although it might get you burned even if you're doing the right thing. The empowerment of the individual through cryptocurrency might not last as governments and bankers will find a way to get in the game and devalue the current ones.    "The system that we base ourselves on, what we believe in, is rotten to the core. I say that candidly and I can give facts to that. Support whistleblowers, don't believe everything the government tells you and we need more transparency in our lives." —  Bradley Birkenfeld    Connect with Bradley Birkenfeld: Website: https://lucifersbanker.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lucifersbanker  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucifers.banker/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradley-c-birkenfeld-13a6a77/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/lucifers_banker  Book: Lucifer's Banker: https://lucifersbanker.com/books/lucifers-banker/overview/    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today - https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator! 

The Swiss banking system has a reputation of being used for tax evasion, money laundering, and other nefarious activities. And Bradley Birkenfeld, one of the biggest whistleblowers in U.S. history, exposed the UBS, which is the world’s largest bank, and how it helped the ultra-wealthy commit tax fraud through offshore banking. Bradley Birkenfeld details in his book, "Lucifer’s Banker Uncensored," how he helped the United States recover over $5 billion from the system, and he details as well what he believes was a special interest cover-up at the hands of the Obama administration and key U.S. officials. To learn more about this, we invited Bradley Birkenfeld to speak with us.

201016 - What Do We Not Know? | BRADLEY BIRKENFELD by Blanquita Cullum

https://www.alainguillot.com/bradley-birkenfeld/ Bradley C. Birkenfeld is the most significant financial whistleblower in history. He was awarded $104 million dollars by the IRS for disclosing tax evaders. His cooperation netted 25 billion dollars in tax revenue for the US treasury.

Una testimonianza incredibile in una storia superiore alla trama di qualsiasi romanzo in esclusiva per RadioBorsa e questa volta anche in versione video sul canale YouTube di SoldiExpert SCF (https://youtu.be/3CPxCShP96Q ) e non solo audio.Bradley Birkenfeld è il private banker che ha distrutto il segreto bancario svizzero e ha ottenuto come ricompensa dall'Agenzia delle Entrate Usa la cifra record di 104 milioni di dollari come ricompensa. E per questo motivo è presente nel Guinness dei Primati che ha dovuto inventare una nuova categoria: whistleblowing. Su RadioBorsa in un nuovo incredibile episodio di "Borsa & di Vita" il "banchiere di Lucifero" (titolo del suo libro autobiografia uscito in Italie per RAI-Eri Editore) Birkenfeld ha deciso di ripercorrere tutta la sua storia, la sua carriera dorata in UBS, la svolta, la battaglia legale, i 30 mesi in una prigione federale USA, il premio a 8 zeri ricevuto, la sua vita attuale (fra Malta, Italia e Londra) e battaglie in cui è impegnato.

One spring day, Bradley Birkenfeld boarded a flight out of Geneva, beginning a journey that would make him one of the greatest whistleblowers in financial history. The former banker with UBS provided information to U.S. authorities that would shatter Swiss banking secrecy and lead some 14,000 well-heeled Americans to fork over an astounding US$5 billion in unpaid taxes. Abrasive and unsparing with criticism, Birkenfeld is not everyone's model hero. He spent two and a-half years in a U.S. prison for helping a client evade taxes, yet collected a $104-million award for coming forward. Still, the enormity of his defining act is beyond dispute. So is the value of his perspective. He's quick, for example, to note that many Canadians who banked with his former employer have never been called to account. “I'm bringing this news,” he says, “but nobody wants to talk about it.”

Bradley Birkenfeld joins Bo and Carlo this week. Bradley is a former international banker and private wealth manager   best known for exposing illegal tax evasion by US citizens holding accounts in Switzerland and corruption that ran to the highest levels of Government. In the process, he was imprisoned and then  awarded the largest ever whistleblower reward ever given to an individual. Don't miss this explosive episode.Support the show.

Brad Birkenfeld~ Exposing the Largest Tax Fraud Scheme in the History of the World w/ the Author of 'Lucifer's Banker' ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers   The Swiss banking system is one of the most powerful and secretive banking systems we have in the world. They have been known for years as the go-to place for wealthy from all countries to store their money and according to Swiss law they absolutely cannot share their clients information with any person, government or entity around the world. Our guest today, Bradley Birkenfeld is a former top employee of the Union Bank of Switzerland, known as UBS. He ran the United States division of the company in Geneva for years. While working for UBS, he found some documents that were written to protect the bank from illegal activity that the bank was condoning in the United States. These documents were worded in a way that they could throw their employees “under the bus” if they needed to direct the blame elsewhere.  When Brad approached the company about it, they ignored him. This was a huge red flag for Brad, and after numerous attempts, he eventually resigned from the company.   This inspired a series of events which led Brad to approach the Department of Justice in the United States government, about the problem and illegal activity the bank had been conducting on US soil. To his surprise, the Department of Justice didn't welcome him with open arms. In fact, they even turned the case against him. Eventually, Brad had to turn to the US Senate and IRS to expose what turned into the largest case of tax fraud the US government has ever seen, and Brad became largest whistleblower the US Government and the Swiss banking system has ever come across. On today's show Brad tells his story and outlines what he has written in his book Lucifer's Banker: The Untold Story of How I Destroyed Swiss Bank Secrecy.  Now, because of Brad's participation with the bank, he was actually sentenced to 30 months in prison by the United States. What is shocking, is the out of the 19,000 names Brad exposed to the US government not a single sole went to jail, except him. That's right, the only person that went to jail is the man that exposed billions of dollars of tax fraud against the United States.  So far, the US government has collected somewhere near $16 billion in unpaid taxes from Brad's case. Now there is some good new at the end of this tale! Because the government collected so much from Brad's case, the IRS rewarded him $104 million...yes, you heard me right. The US government put the man in jail that blew the whistle on the largest tax fraud scheme in the history of the world with the Swiss banks, they then gave him 30 months in jail, and then rewarded him with $104 million….and yes, it is all a very true story!   05:05: Lucifer's Banker the Book   07:41: The Swiss Banking Background   17:11: Brad Starts Working for the Swiss Banks   19:56: Seeing Red Flags While Working for a Swiss Bank   27:59: The Whistleblowing Law   29:36: Brad Brings 19,000 Names of People Committing Tax Fraud to the Department of Justice   36:31: Exposing a Partner to Saddam Hussein   41:06: Taking the Case to the Senate, the IRS and the SEC   47:06: Brad Goes to Jail and is Rewarded $104 Million   57:11: What Has Gotten Better Due to Brad's Whistleblowing? 1:01:11: Are the Banks Really Too Big to Fail? 1:05:11: What is the Solution for the Future of Banking? 1:08:11: How Can the Average Person Support Whistleblowers and Stopping Corrupt Banking? 1:12:16: Brad's Experience in Jail 1:14:51: Brad's Investment Advice 1:16:51: Brad on Influence Contact Info: https://lucifersbanker.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradley-birkenfeld

Bradley C. Birkenfeld is the Swiss private banker who became the biggest financial whistleblower in history when he blew the lid of off secretive Swiss banks by exposing how UBS, the world’s largest bank, helped ultra-wealthy Americans commit billions in tax fraud.  Today he’ll reveal the dirty little secrets of Swiss Banking and UBS’s dealings with the brother of the world’s most notorious terrorist.  He’ll discuss how UBS courted wealthy Americans who wanted to hide their money, and then made it as hard as possible for their clients to withdraw from their own accounts.  He’ll expose the surprisingly cozy ties between UBS and Washington politicians and how that relationship may have led Justice Department officials to "throw him under the bus" to protect some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in America.   If you enjoyed today’s podcast, then you can order Bradley Birkenfeld's book Lucifer’s Banker: The Untold Story of How I Destroyed Swiss Bank Secrecy on Amazon or you can also download the audio version for free at www.audibletrial.com/kickassnews.  For more information on Bradley Birkenfeld, visit www.LucifersBanker.com and follow him on Twitter at @LucifersBanker.   Today's podcast is sponsored by GoDaddy.  Visit www.GoDaddy.com and enter our promo code "KICK30" to get 30% off a new domain.
