That's some awesome shareholder value illegally sending weeping mothers to countries they don't live in with no due process!CEOs (Target, looking at you) DRThey managed to find a pen and craft a strongly worded letter that asked, pretty please, for “de-escalation”, calling ICE out not by NAME of course, but as a “recent challenge” that created “widespread disruption” - and named the White House only as someone they are “communicating” with. Signed by 60 Minnesota CEOs, co-signed in spirit by the Business Roundtable (though not like, officially), they managed to write a whole 199 words about the execution of a VA nurse whose crime was filming the Gestapo in actionTarget's incoming CEO (obviously not the CURRENT CEO Brian Cornell, he's busy polishing his mahogany chair for board meetings where he will be Executive Chair, making as much as a CEO with none of the responsibilities) also addressed the unlawful and unwarranted arrests of Target employees in Minneapolis by thugs - oh, wait, no he didn't - he said, “The violence and loss of life in our community is incredibly painful.” - IT WAS YOUR EMPLOYEES IN THE CROSSHAIRS, SCHMUCK. Target employees are currently skipping work in Minnesota, but solid leadership.Boards of directorsOur analysis of the boards of the Minnesota 60 showed that nearly half of them sit on each other's boards. Basically, you have a massive groupcoward problem - about 25 of the CEOs sit on some other CEOs board or overlap in some way, and the lawyers that carefully crafted the letter absolutely had to have it run through every other board and company lawyer, a task made easier when half of you are on the board with each other.

This Day in Legal History: League of Nations MeetsOn January 23, 1920, the League of Nations held its first official meeting, marking a major experiment in international law and collective governance. The League was created in the aftermath of World War I as part of the Treaty of Versailles. Its core mission was to prevent future wars through diplomacy, arbitration, and collective security. For the first time, nations committed themselves to resolving disputes through legal mechanisms rather than unilateral force. The League also helped develop early norms of international accountability and treaty enforcement. It established permanent institutions to oversee mandates, labor standards, and minority protections. Although the United States never joined, the League influenced how international law was discussed and practiced. Its failures, particularly its inability to prevent aggression in the 1930s, exposed the limits of voluntary compliance without enforcement power. Those weaknesses became lessons for later international institutions. Many of the League's structures and legal concepts were later incorporated into the United Nations. The League's first meeting thus represents a foundational moment in the modern law of international cooperation.U.S. President Donald Trump filed a $5 billion lawsuit in Florida state court against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO Jamie Dimon, alleging that the bank improperly closed his accounts for political reasons. Trump claims JPMorgan violated its own internal policies by singling him out as part of a broader political agenda. The bank denied the allegations, stating it does not close accounts based on political or religious views and that the lawsuit lacks merit. Trump also accused Dimon of orchestrating a “blacklist” intended to discourage other financial institutions from doing business with him, his family, and the Trump Organization. He said the account closures caused reputational harm and forced him to seek alternative banking relationships. JPMorgan countered that account closures are sometimes required to manage legal or regulatory risk. The lawsuit comes amid broader political scrutiny of banks over alleged “debanking” practices. Conservative critics have accused lenders of restricting services to certain individuals and industries. A recent report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency found that major banks limited services to some industries between 2020 and 2023, though it did not identify specific wrongdoing. Regulators have since moved away from using vague “reputational risk” standards in bank supervision.Trump sues JPMorgan, CEO Jamie Dimon for $5 billion over alleged debanking | ReutersFormer U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith told the House Judiciary Committee that Donald Trump willfully violated the law in his efforts to remain in power after losing the 2020 presidential election. Smith testified that Trump was not seeking truthful information about election fraud claims but instead was searching for ways to block certification of the results. The hearing marked Smith's first extensive public testimony about the two criminal cases he brought against Trump, both of which were dropped after Trump won reelection in 2024. Republicans on the committee accused Smith of political bias and argued his investigation improperly targeted Trump and his allies. They focused on Smith's use of subpoenas for phone records of Republican lawmakers, portraying the actions as overreach. Smith defended those measures as necessary to investigate potential obstruction of justice. He said Republican witnesses who contradicted Trump's fraud claims would have been central to the election interference case. Trump responded by renewing calls for Smith to be prosecuted and accusing him of harming innocent people. Democrats on the panel defended Smith as a career prosecutor guided by evidence rather than politics.Former US prosecutor Smith says Trump ‘willfully broke' laws in bid to keep power | ReutersA federal judge expressed skepticism about whether the Trump administration has the legal authority to build a $400 million ballroom at the White House without congressional approval. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon questioned the administration's justification for demolishing the historic East Wing and replacing it with a large new structure. The lawsuit was brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which argues the project violates federal laws governing construction on parkland in Washington, D.C. The group contends that Congress must expressly authorize such construction and that required environmental reviews were bypassed or improperly handled. Judge Leon sharply rejected comparisons between the ballroom and past minor renovations, signaling concern about the scale of the project. He is considering whether to issue a preliminary injunction that would halt construction while the case proceeds. The administration maintains the ballroom is necessary for state functions and part of a long tradition of presidential renovations. Government lawyers also argue that stopping construction now would serve no public benefit, especially since above-ground work is months away. Leon said he expects to rule on the injunction request in the coming weeks.White House faces skeptical judge in lawsuit over Trump ballroom | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Édouard Lalo.This week's closing theme features music by Lalo, a composer who spent much of his career just outside the spotlight of 19th-century French music. Born in 1823, Lalo came to composition relatively late and struggled for recognition in a musical world dominated by opera and established conservatory figures. He is best remembered today for works that combine classical structure with vivid color and rhythmic vitality. The Concerto in F Major, Op. 20 reflects those strengths, balancing elegance with expressive intensity. The opening Andante – Allegro begins with a reflective, almost searching character before unfolding into a more energetic and assertive main section. Lalo uses the solo instrument to sing rather than dominate, emphasizing lyrical phrasing over virtuosic display. The movement's shifting moods showcase his gift for contrast and dramatic pacing. There is a clear sense of forward motion, but never at the expense of clarity. Lalo's orchestration remains transparent, allowing themes to breathe and develop naturally. The music feels poised between Romantic warmth and classical restraint. As a closing theme, it offers both momentum and reflection. It is a reminder of Lalo's understated influence and the enduring appeal of his finely crafted musical voice.Without further ado, Édouard Lalo's Concerto in F Major, Op. 20, the opening Andante, enjoy!

JPMorgan Chase Chairman & CEO Jamie Dimon said he would not consider being Federal Reserve Chair, stating there is "no chance, no way, no how" he would take the role. He also warned that chipping away at the Fed's independence could lead to higher inflation and interest rates over time. Dimon is on this week's episode of "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations." This interview was recorded January 15 at the US Chamber of Commerce's "State of American Business" event in Washington DC.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the most obnoxious sounds in nature is the whine of a Wall Street banker. It's a cross between the tantrum of a peevish brat and the blathering of a sputtering old plutocrat.Consider the long, piteous whimper of Jamie Dimon, potentate of the powerful JPMorgan Chase banking empire. He constantly whines about laws to restrict banker greed, even toting around a Rube Goldberg-style cartoon depicting a tangle of rules that, he squeals, is choking poor Wall Streeters like him.Before you break into tears about Jamie's plight, though, notice that he and his bank are not choking on rules, but gorging on riches. Dimon himself pocketed – get this -- $770 million in personal pay last year.Golly, we should all suffer like poor Jamie!And he's hardly alone in singing the “Talking Banker Blues,” for that elite clique has long pouted that they're paupers compared to the billionaires of high tech. So, mounting an odd boardroom “labor action,” bankers have been getting drastic payhikes. The CEO of Citigroup, for example, recently set a new bottom line expectation for top-floor bankers: A 2025 paycheck of more than $100 million!How can a business lavish such a windfall on one guy? Easy. The CEO slashed tens of thousands of bank employees from Citi's payroll last year, so he got their pay.Woody Guthrie once wrote a parody of such predatory behavior, singing “I am a jolly banker, A jolly banker am I.” Today's Wall Street aristocrats are jolly, too, bloating their extravagant wealth by taking wages and livelihoods from thousands of their own employees. As Woody might sing, that's how inequality “happens.”Do something!Wanna fight the bankers and their rigged systems? Americans for Financial Reform thinks that “the financial system should serve an economy where everyone can thrive, not just enrich a powerful few.” Sounds great to us!

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has repeatedly denied any meaningful knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal behavior, portraying himself as distant from the relationship despite Epstein being a longtime, high-profile client of the bank. Dimon has claimed he was unaware of Epstein's sex-trafficking activities and has suggested that responsibility lay with lower-level compliance staff rather than senior leadership. Critics argue this position strains credibility, given Epstein's 2008 federal conviction, his well-known reputation in elite circles, and the sheer volume of internal red flags tied to his accounts. Under Dimon's leadership, JPMorgan continued to bank Epstein for years after his conviction, processing transactions that later became central to allegations that the bank enabled or ignored obvious signs of trafficking and abuse.Dimon's denials have come under sharper scrutiny as internal emails, testimony, and court filings have suggested that Epstein's risk profile was widely known inside JPMorgan and that concerns reached far beyond rogue employees. Survivors and regulators argue that the bank's leadership cannot plausibly claim ignorance while simultaneously benefiting from Epstein's wealth, connections, and influence. Dimon's insistence that he personally knew little or nothing about Epstein has been criticized as a calculated effort to firewall executive accountability, shifting blame downward while preserving the myth of corporate ignorance. To critics, his statements exemplify a broader pattern in which powerful institutions acknowledge “mistakes” in the abstract but resist admitting that profit and prestige outweighed moral and legal responsibility when it mattered most.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The formal indictment states that Lin and his accomplices allegedly facilitated the transfer of tens of millions of dollars obtained from the sale of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine in the United States back to Mexico, through an opaque financial chain involving cash purchases of electronic goods and shipments to Asian countries. According to the case filed in federal court in Cincinnati, between 2022 and 2024, Mexican drug-trafficking groups hired this organization to handle the cash generated from drug sales within U.S. territory. The procedure described includes handing over large amounts of physical cash to third parties, who used the funds to buy electronic products. Once the receipt of these goods was confirmed, payment was sent to Mexico through mirror transactions, after deducting a commission. Partial records indicate that at least $27.4 million in cash was moved through this network. The indictment, which includes charges of conspiracy to launder money and concealment of funds, indicates that the alleged operator could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted by a federal court.

The whole starter kit. The guy, Marton Benedek, was sitting inside EU institutions while sketching out a roadmap for protests, messaging, fundraising, even something that reads a lot like a shadow government. He talks openly about building a permanent coordination hub to challenge Orban's rule. This was an EU migration and security official, with deep access and zero plausible deniability, not just some street activist. The early effort flopped. The party he helped build face-planted electorally. But the playbook didn't disappear. It just waited. Fast forward and suddenly a brand-new figure, Peter Magyar, drops out of nowhere, gets wall-to-wall Western media love, runs a campaign with serious money and polish, keeps his ideology vague, stays aggressively pro-EU, and rockets to the top of the polls. No clear funding trail. No real policy spine. But momentum. The uncomfortable part for Brussels isn't whether Orban is good or bad. It's that this confirms what his supporters have said for years: The EU doesn't just pressure governments. It actively works around them when they won't comply. Rule of law language on the surface. Regime-management instincts underneath. If this were Russia doing it, headlines would be screaming “foreign interference.” When it's Brussels, it's called cooperation. https://twitter.com/nypost/status/2011184281989595612?s=20 ‘Going to Be a Big Problem for Him’: Trump Smacks Down Greenland PM After He Says He ‘Chooses Denmark' President Trump isn’t playing around when it comes to the United States taking control of Greenland, and he just sent a warning shot to the island’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, that Nielsen’s continued resistance is “going to be a big problem for him.” Greenland’s PM and other regional authorities downplay the possibility of a hostile takeover of the island by Russia or China, Denmark’s Danish Defense Intelligence Service (DDIS) recently released a pointed assessment of Russian and Chinese military ambitions for Greenland and the Arctic.

A few days in, Iran shut down the Internet in the entire country. For the first time since 2019, a nationwide blackout was imposed, disrupting phone networks and landline telephones. Starlink became the sole web outlet for protesters to get informed, communicate, and share the images of the momentous developments with the world. It didn't take long for the brutal Iranian regime to crack down on Starlink terminals, arrest ‘terrorist' users, and deploy military-grade jammers to impede the functioning of the service.

That is demographic manipulation. When law enforcement records misclassify race and suppress immigration status, the downstream effect is predictable. Crime statistics are distorted. Public understanding is corrupted. Accountability disappears. Police departments know exactly why this is done. Federal crime data is aggregated by race. When offenders who are foreign nationals are reclassified into domestic racial categories, the real source patterns are buried. The public is then fed a sanitized dataset that supports preselected talking points. This is not about one case. It is about how the books are cooked so trends can never be honestly discussed. News outlets compound the deception. They repeat the arrest sheet verbatim, never asking why immigration status is missing, never questioning implausible physical descriptors, never pressing the department for clarification. The omission is the story, and they deliberately ignore it. That is not journalism. That is information control. If the individual were a citizen, the records would say so. If the individual were legally present, that status would be highlighted immediately. Silence only appears when the truth is politically inconvenient. That silence protects institutions, not victims. Two teenagers are dead, and the system's first instinct was not transparency, but insulation. This is exactly why public trust is collapsing. People are not stupid. They can see when reality does not match the paperwork. When law enforcement manipulates categories and media outlets run interference, the public correctly concludes that the truth is being managed rather than reported. The question is simple. If the data were honest, why hide it. If the classification were accurate, why does it defy common sense. If transparency mattered, why was immigration status erased. This is not incompetence. It is intent. https://twitter.com/TheStormRedux/status/2011214982881386564?s=20  Solomon & Emmer on his podcast today.

But there's more heavy lifting to be done for cleaner elections. That's why Judicial Watch just sued the state of Oregon to force it to finally clean up its voting rolls, which are a mess.

On today's podcast:1) President Trump dismissed Jamie Dimon’s criticism over the Justice Department probe into the Federal Reserve, saying the JPMorgan Chase & Co. chief executive officer was “wrong” to suggest he was undermining the independence of the central bank. Earlier Tuesday, Dimon expressed concern about the investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell over the cost of the central bank’s headquarters renovation and his subsequent congressional testimony about the project. Trump said he would press ahead with plans to announce Powell’s replacement within “the next few weeks” despite the backlash to the probe, which has drawn criticism from Republican lawmakers — including a threat by Senator Thom Tillis, a retiring North Carolina Republican and swing vote on the Senate Banking Committee. Tillis has said he would block new nominations to the Fed until the matter is resolved.2) More than 2,500 people have been killed in Iranian protests that have swept the nation, activist groups said, as Tehran continued its crackdown despite President Trump’s threat of action over mounting fatalities. The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported 2,571 deaths as of Wednesday, up from about 500 at the start of the week and amid speculation the actual toll could be dramatically higher. On Tuesday, Trump urged Iranians to continue protests against the regime of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.3) Top diplomats from Greenland and Denmark are gearing up for the test of a lifetime as they work to persuade the Trump administration to back off on its demands for the Arctic territory that threaten to break up the NATO defense alliance. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and his counterpart from Nuuk, Vivian Motzfeldt, will face US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House on Wednesday, just hours after the island’s prime minister said that if made to choose, Greenland would opt for Denmark.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The government of the U.S. Virgin Islands alleged in court filings that Jamie Dimon, as chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, knew—or should have known—about Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking activities while the bank maintained Epstein as a client. The USVI's complaint argued that Epstein's conduct was not hidden from view, citing internal bank communications, compliance warnings, and the volume and nature of transactions that allegedly raised red flags over many years. Prosecutors contended that senior leadership was repeatedly put on notice about Epstein's reputation and risks, and that the bank nonetheless continued the relationship, providing services that enabled Epstein's operations.The allegations framed Dimon's knowledge as part of a broader institutional failure rather than a single lapse, asserting that information about Epstein circulated within JPMorgan at multiple levels, including among executives responsible for risk and compliance. While Dimon and the bank denied the claims—maintaining that Dimon had no direct awareness of Epstein's crimes at the time—the USVI argued that the evidence showed a sustained pattern of warnings ignored or minimized.

In the year since, has the country been able to make progress toward the optimistic future many hoped would follow al-Assad's ouster? And what obstacles still lie in its path?“Civilizational Self-Confidence Scheme.” The Trump administration has undergone the once-per-term statutorily-mandated ritual of releasing its National Security Strategy. It claims an intent to stay the course on many key bipartisan pillars of U.S. foreign policy, but mixes in heavy doses of isolationism, ethnonationalism, and criticism of Europe for losing its “civilizational self-confidence.” How seriously should we take this document? And what does it tell us about the likely trajectory of U.S. foreign policy?“A Dimon in the Rough?” JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has announced a ten-year initiative to invest $1.5 trillion in U.S. companies critical to U.S. national security and economic resilience. Is this an attempt by Dimon to repair his sometimes frosty relationship with the Trump administration by complimenting its “America First” strategy? Or is it an initiative that more genuinely strikes at the intersection of market logic and U.S. national security?In object lessons, Tyler is exploring the great heritage of American landmarks with “Lost in America: Photographing the Last Days of our Architectural Treasures” an archive of the Historic American Buildings Survey.

And what does it tell us about the likely trajectory of U.S. foreign policy?“A Dimon in the Rough?” JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has announced a ten-year initiative to invest $1.5 trillion in U.S. companies critical to U.S. national security and economic resilience. Is this an attempt by Dimon to repair his sometimes frosty relationship with the Trump administration by complimenting its “America First” strategy? Or is it an initiative that more genuinely strikes at the intersection of market logic and U.S. national security?In object lessons, Tyler is exploring the great heritage of American landmarks with “Lost in America: Photographing the Last Days of our Architectural Treasures” an archive of the Historic American Buildings Survey.

On Sunday, the “Titanium Lady,” Fox News' Maria Bartiromo, lit up one of the worst perpetrators of the sort of treachery her three-part “Underwriting the Enemy” series has relentlessly exposed: J.P.Morgan's CEO Jamie Dimon. While Dimon was given a chance to tout his company's commendable commitment to invest $1.5 trillion in enhancing U.S. security and resiliency, he was also pressed about his practice of raising funds for Chinese military companies. He declared that he was not going to violate American national security policy and would “absolutely walk away from deals with China…assisting with military equipment.”  In fact, Dimon and his ilk know that doing otherwise actually violates President Trump's America First Investment Policy – which, thanks to Rep. John Moolenaar, Congress is poised to make the law of the land. American security and resiliency starts with ending our underwriting of the enemy. This is Frank Gaffney.

Allegations have circulated that Jamie Dimon knew significantly more about Jeffrey Epstein than he publicly claimed. Dimon has repeatedly insisted that he never met Epstein, never spoke with him, and didn't even recognize his name until after Epstein's 2019 arrest. However, critics point to the fact that Epstein was a major JPMorgan client for roughly 15 years while Dimon was CEO, moving large sums of cash that triggered repeated internal compliance warnings. Senior bank executives reportedly viewed Epstein as an important figure worth cultivating, and Epstein was credited with bringing wealthy, high-value clients into the bank. This has led to widespread skepticism that Dimon—at the very top of the institution—could have known nothing about someone whose transactions drew scrutiny and who was deeply networked inside JPMorgan.Further questions were raised when former executives alleged that Epstein was discussed at senior levels and that Dimon was aware of the relationship years earlier than he acknowledged. Claims surfaced that Dimon was briefed about Epstein at least twice and that internal emails referenced directives encouraging top leadership to “get to know” Epstein for business reasons. Dimon has denied all such assertions, dismissing them as false and insisting he had no knowledge of Epstein's activities or banking arrangements. Still, the timeline, the scale of Epstein's financial footprint, and allegations from those once close to the situation have fueled suspicions that Dimon's version of events is incomplete—and that the full truth about the extent of the bank's relationship with Epstein remains obscured.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

According to Bix Weir of Road to Roota, the United States has been on a covert path back to the constitutional gold and silver standard since the 1981 Gold Commission, a secret initiative under Ronald Reagan to dismantle the fiat money scam and restore sound money as mandated by the Constitution. Weir decodes the Federal Reserve's cryptic 1981 comic "Wishes and Rainbows," re-released in 2007, as a roadmap—"The Road to Roota"—outlining the transition from "Grey Flowers" (fiat currency) to "Colorland" (a redeemable gold-backed system), complete with hidden U.S. gold reserves in places like the Grand Canyon to fuel the reset. He argues this plan accelerates under figures like Donald Trump, who is leveraging massive undisclosed gold stashes to collapse the manipulated markets and implement a new gold/silver coin standard via the U.S. Mint, where silver could skyrocket to match gold at a 1:1 ratio, freeing Americans from endless inflation and debt slavery. Central to this liberation is abolishing the Federal Reserve, the "BIG player" Weir identifies as the root of global economic hatred toward the West, with its computer-driven manipulations since Alan Greenspan's era propping up a dying fiat blip; Trump, per Weir, is crashing the [CB] system through engineered chaos, paving the way for constitutional money where every citizen can redeem notes for physical gold and silver, ending the Fed's reign and restoring true freedom. Weir's scathing exposés paint JP Morgan Chase as the epicenter of silver market rigging, with CEO Jamie Dimon—derisively dubbed "Jamie Demon" for his demonic role in financial crimes—leading a cabal that has suppressed silver prices through massive COMEX shorts and derivative slams, all while cashing out ahead of the inevitable squeeze that could drain their "house silver" vaults dry. This manipulation ties directly to Epstein Island scandals, where Weir reveals JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank facilitated the financier's criminal network, enabling cash flows for trafficking that intertwined elite bankers like Dimon with the island's depravities; exposing Epstein's client list, including Dimon's inner circle, would unleash uncontrollable silver demand as the rigged system's veils tear away, crushing the bullion banks and vindicating Weir's long-warned "Silver Alert" for a monetary rebellion.

Then First Brands, a heavily indebted auto parts manufacturer, filed for Chapter 11. Now, PrimaLend Capital Partners, another subprime lender has fallen after defaulting on its bond payments, pushed into bankruptcy by unpaid creditors. These aren't isolated blowups; they're the first visible cracks in a broader credit contraction that's been quietly building beneath the surface. What links them all is the same structure of fragility: loans to high risk borrowers, funded through short term credit and securitized into complex bonds that depend on constant refinancing. When the Fed held rates near zero, that model worked but after two years of policy tightening and an average fed funds rate above 4.4%, the entire subprime ecosystem is choking on its own leverage. The subprime auto sector is the perfect early warning signal because it sits at the intersection of consumer stress and financial engineering. Borrowers with weaker credit are defaulting at rising rates, repossessions are spiking, and lenders like PrimaLend that rely on bond markets for funding are discovering those markets have no appetite for risk. This is about a chain reaction through the private credit and asset backed markets that financed them. Dimon's cockroaches aren't just in subprime auto, they're spread across the shadow banking system. Many private credit funds, BDCs, and securitized lenders hold similar exposure, marked to model rather than market. The first failures are surfacing where consumers feel the pinch first, but as liquidity tightens further, the stress will migrate up the credit spectrum, from auto loans to small business credit, to leveraged corporates, and eventually to the banks that lent to them. These bankruptcies are the financial equivalent of the first tremors before an earthquake. What looks contained in subprime auto today is really the credit cycle shifting into its next phase, one where overextended lenders, not just borrowers, start defaulting. The cockroaches are moving fast, and the lights have only just come on.

For financial journalist Elizabeth MacBride, the New American economy is like the old one - only worse. Describing it as the “Frankenstein version of neo-liberalism”, MacBride explains that business has overtaken government to create ever-more-powerful bankers like Larry Fink and Jamie Dimon. But all is not lost. In her upcoming new book, Capital Evolution, co-authored with the VC Seth Levine, MacBride argues that there's a new consensus taking shape - what she calls “Dynamic Capitalism” - which balances profits with purpose. So if we can get beyond today's neo-liberal Frankenstein moment, she promises, America will be able to address the great 21st-century challenges of inequality and climate change. I have to admit I'm not convinced. Rather than capital evolution, I see the growing political power of Wall Street players like Dimon and Fink. We shall see. But when a Wall Street CEO like Jamie Dimon announces $10 billion bets on national security (as he did early this week), it's no surprise that the loudest calls these days are for revolution rather than evolution. Nor is it surprising that a 21st century version of Frankenstein - Mary Shelley's apocalyptic 1818 warning about the destructive consequences of industrialization - will be appearing on Netflix next month. 1. Business Has Overtaken Government in Power and InfluenceMacBride argues that CEOs like Jamie Dimon and Larry Fink now wield more power than most elected officials, yet remain fundamentally unaccountable. When Dimon announces $10 billion investments in national security, the lines between Wall Street and Washington have clearly blurred—perhaps irreversibly.2. We're Living in a “Frankenstein Version of Neo-Liberalism”The current system isn't classic neoliberalism but a corrupted mutation where government has been “co-opted and turned into a tool for punishing people.” The small-government ideology has created not freedom but a punitive state that serves corporate interests while abandoning its regulatory role.3. “Dynamic Capitalism” Requires Long-Term Sacrifice—But Who's Really Sacrificing?MacBride believes trauma from climate change, inequality, and COVID is creating willingness for short-term sacrifice for long-term stability—similar to the post-WWII generation. But as the interviewer notes, when titans like Dimon and Fink talk about sacrifice, they only get richer. The question remains: whose sacrifice?4. Trust Is the Currency of the New Economy—And It's in Short SupplyIn an age when institutions have weakened, MacBride advocates “trust but verify” as the operating principle. She argues figures like Dimon and Fink are “generally trustworthy” even if not “morally authoritative.” The interviewer's skepticism about figures like PayPal's Dan Schulman highlights how fragile this trust actually is.5. New Coalitions Are Forming, But Revolution May Trump EvolutionMacBride sees evidence of consensus-building around stakeholder capitalism and long-term thinking, particularly among Democrats after their electoral losses. But her optimism about “capital evolution” may be wishful thinking when the loudest calls are for revolution, not gradual reform.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

The first movie ever screened in the White House wasn't Casablanca or Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. It was The Birth of a Nation: a Ku Klux Klan recruitment ad that glorified white rage bloodlust. A century later, Trump's White House is the sequel: staged propaganda to glorify lies, violence, and hate against freedom fighters–otherwise known as antifa–otherwise known as World War II veterans who won the war against tyranny. Because if you're not antifa, you're pro-fascism.  Trump is the Frankenstein monster of America's darkest chapters: Jim Crow, McCarthyism, Watergate, and reality-TV nihilism. But the heroes who stormed Normandy didn't die for us to cower before a spray-tanned con man. Which brings us to the Epstein Files: the panic button of MAGA-land. If the Epstein Files were nothing, Trump and Mike Johnson wouldn't be working so hard to shut down our government and prevent a vote. “Teflon Don” has gotten away with years of crimes, including inciting a violent attempted overthrow of our democracy, which led to several deaths, including of law enforcement. So why is he so panicked about the Epstein Files? The truth will come out, as it always does. And remember: bullies only understand strength. So keep pushing, keep shouting, and for the love of democracy: Release. The. Epstein. Files.

There's been persistent speculation that Jamie Dimon, long-time CEO of JPMorgan Chase, might make a run for the U.S. presidency or at least take a high-tier government role. Some analysts and commentators have pointed to his reputation as a steady, pragmatic leader who speaks openly on economic and geopolitical issues as evidence that he could mount a compelling candidacy. For instance, a Yale SOM piece noted that his stature as a “systemic stabilizer,” combined with his willingness to critique U.S. policy, gives him appeal in periods of political turbulence.Despite this, Dimon has consistently downplayed or rejected the idea of running. He has said the notion of him winning is unlikely, and he has emphasized the demands of his family life, the lack of prior political experience, and his commitment to JPMorgan as reasons he wouldn't pursue it.In his deposition held on May 26, 2023, Jamie Dimon asserted under oath that he had never met, emailed, or communicated with Jeffrey Epstein, and claimed he was not involved in any internal decisions regarding Epstein's bank accounts.  He acknowledged that a 2011 internal email from JPMorgan's then-general counsel, which said Epstein “should not be a client, period,” was not known to him at the time, though he said he was aware of it later and agreed that had the bank known what we know now about Epstein's criminal behavior, the relationship would have been severed earlier.He acknowledged that a 2011 internal email from JPMorgan's then-general counsel, which said Epstein “should not be a client, period,” was not known to him at the time, though he said he was aware of it later and agreed that had the bank known what we know now about Epstein's criminal behavior, the relationship would have been severed earlier.  Afterward, JPMorgan argued internally that his testimony was “crystal clear” and sought to block any further depositions of Dimon in the case, saying the existing record showed no involvement.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Jes Staley, the former JPMorgan executive who later became CEO of Barclays, has alleged in court filings that he discussed Jeffrey Epstein directly with Jamie Dimon, including whether the bank should continue its relationship with Epstein after his 2008 conviction. According to Staley, Dimon was aware of Epstein's accounts and engaged in conversations about them, contradicting the narrative that JPMorgan's top leadership was in the dark. Dimon, however, has firmly denied this, testifying under oath that he never met Epstein, exchanged emails with him, or played any role in decisions about his accounts.Jes Staley, the former JPMorgan executive who later became CEO of Barclays, has alleged in court filings that he discussed Jeffrey Epstein directly with Jamie Dimon, including whether the bank should continue its relationship with Epstein after his 2008 conviction.

n June 2023, lawyers representing Jeffrey Epstein's victims sued JPMorgan asked U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff to recall Jamie Dimon—and two other executives—for fresh depositions. They argued the bank strategically delayed production of key documents—such as a 22-page email timeline and internal Epstein-related review materials—delivered only after Dimon's May 26 deposition, thereby depriving plaintiffs the chance to question him on them. The late disclosure, including documents produced “5:45 p.m. on a Sunday,” was described by one attorney as “untimely” and “inexplicably slow”Judge Rakoff flatly denied the request for additional depositions of Dimon and other JPMorgan officials, ruling the existing record was sufficient and closing the door on calls for re-questioning. Thus, although plaintiffs sought to enhance accountability and clarity using newly surfaced evidence, the expected opportunity to revisit Dimon's testimony never materialized.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein accuser wants to question JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon again | Fox BusinessBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In sworn deposition testimony in May 2023, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon claimed he had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein or his activities until Epstein's 2019 arrest. He denied ever meeting or speaking with Epstein and said any suggestions otherwise were based on misunderstandings. Dimon characterized Epstein as a “disaster” and said he was horrified by the revelations of trafficking and abuse, emphasizing that decisions regarding Epstein's client relationship were handled by other executives at the bank. He maintained that he played no role in approving or maintaining Epstein as a client during or after his criminal conviction.While continuing to deny legal liability for JPMorgan, Dimon acknowledged the bank's association with Epstein was a mistake, admitting “we unfortunately continued to bank him” even after his 2008 guilty plea. He expressed regret for not acting sooner to sever ties and involve law enforcement more decisively. Dimon offered a personal apology to Epstein's victims—not for wrongdoing on his own part, but for the bank's failure to act more quickly—saying he would apologize directly to them for any harm that may have been compounded by JPMorgan's continued dealings with Epstein.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon regrets Jeffrey Epstein relationship (cnbc.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan, had some very harsh words and a pointed warning. He said the world was at high risk from tariffs. And while the activities of "his" bank largely agree with the high degree of risk, it's the complete opposite from what Dimon said publicly. This is not the first time this has happened, either. When the risks are greatest, JPM's CEO says one thing while JPM itself does the opposite. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis*****If you are in any way interested in precious metals,  you need to see what today's video sponsor, Monetary Metals, is doing with them at the link below: http://www.monetary-metals.com/Snider/*****JP Morgan letter to shareholders April 2024https://www.jpmorganchase.com/content/dam/jpmc/jpmorgan-chase-and-co/investor-relations/documents/ceo-letter-to-shareholders-2023.pdfJP Morgan second quarter 2024 press statementhttps://www.jpmorganchase.com/content/dam/jpmc/jpmorgan-chase-and-co/investor-relations/documents/quarterly-earnings/2024/2nd-quarter/36a0b862-cc80-4e28-bf1b-5cfa07dc9637.pdfBloomberg JPMorgan's Dimon Warns Markets Are Complacent on Tariffshttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-10/dimon-says-an-eu-us-tariff-framework-needs-to-get-doneBloomberg Dimon Says Prepare for 4% Yields, Potential Volatility Risehttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-08/dimon-says-prepare-for-4-yields-sees-potential-volatility-riseCNBC Jamie Dimon cautions the 10-year Treasury yield could hit 5%: ‘It's a higher probability than most people think'https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/06/jp-morgans-jamie-dimon-cautions-10-year-treasury-note-rate-to-hit-5-percent.htmlBloomberg Weakest U.S. Bond Auction in Decade Validates Dimon's Warninghttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-08/low-yield-bad-seasonals-and-trade-trip-up-u-s-10-year-auctionhttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU
