Corrupt Biden Crime Family Democrats Laptop From Hell...


Chairmen, Ranking Members, and Members of Congress, Thank you for this
opportunity to speak with you. I am happy that the American people
will finally hear the facts and evidence that I have been trying to
outline for over four years, all backed up and supported by emails,
texts, documents, records, pictures, and other evidence. The facts we
are going to discuss today are important for America's national
security, and I can only hope that everyone in this room and all
representatives and officers of the U.S. Government take them
seriously. My name is Tony Bobulinski. I am a proud American citizen
who has honorably served the United States in several capacities. For
over six years, I was an officer in the United States Navy’s elite
Naval Nuclear Power Training Command as a decorated Master Training
Specialist Instructor. I later served as the Command's Chief
Technology Officer, where I held a Q security clearance from the
Department of Energy and from the National Security Agency. When I
left NNPTC, I was the number-one-ranked Direct Input Officer (DIO) in
the entire command in my final Navy Fitness Report or FITREP. I am
here today out of duty to God and country in a nonpartisan manner with
only one party in mind, the party I served with honor and gratitude:
the United States of America. While I have made a few campaign
contributions over the years to Democrats, such as Congressman Ro
Khanna, a member of the Oversight Committee, I am not a political
person. I come from a family with a long history of distinguished
service in our nation’s military. I grew up the son of a career Naval
Officer, CDR Robert Bobulinski, whom I loved dearly. I could not be
prouder of my father’s long and distinguished service to our great
nation. His father, Alex Bobulinski, served our country in the Air
Force for four years. I am also the grandson of Army Intelligence
Officer Col. Fred B. Keller Jr., who, for more than thirty-seven
years, fearlessly defended the United States all over the world and
served in three different wars. My only brother, retired CDR Mike
Bobulinski, is a twenty-eight-year combat-serving Naval Flight
Officer, and my only sister, Stacia Bobulinski, has spent the last
eighteen years serving U.S. military veterans across the country
through the Veterans AdministraCon to demonstrate her and our family’s
gratitude to everyone who has risked their lives defending America. I
share my extensive U.S. military roots and background with you because
they are the lens through which I view this exceptional country and my
responsibility to it. My deep commitment to America is also the reason
I have elected to place myself and my family in the public eye, to
tell the truth before you today. That comes at a great cost to my
privacy, my personal security, and that of my family, among other
things. However, I am happy to pay that cost. I am blessed to have
been born and to grow up in the greatest country on earth. I take that
seriously. Having been to over fifty countries around the world, I say
that with the highest confidence. For nearly four years, I have tried
to tell the American people the truth about serious corruption at the
very top of their government. In return, I have been falsely accused
of being a purveyor of “Russian disinformation” and a political
surrogate. My continuous efforts to inform the American people of the
facts have been actively suppressed by both the United States
Government and the so-called “mainstream” media. I want to be crystal
clear: from my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently
come to learn, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was “the Brand” being
sold by the Biden family. His family’s foreign influence peddling
operation – from China to Ukraine and elsewhere – sold out to foreign
actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and
the United States government. Joe Biden was more than a participant in
and beneficiary of his family’s business; he was an enabler despite
being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.
The only reason any of these international business transactions took
place – with tens of millions of dollars flowing directly to the Biden
family – was because Joe Biden was in high office. The Biden family
business was Joe Biden, period. Other key players have made this point
clear as well: Hunter Biden himself has adamantly stated it in a
variety of communications, as did another Biden family business
associate, Devon Archer, in his testimony last year. Foreign nationals
on the other side of these transactions – including from China,
Ukraine, and Romania – have also explained how and why these
transactions took place. Once again, I would call that extensive
evidence. The Chinese Communist Party, through its surrogate, China
Energy Company Limited, or “CEFC” – a CCP-linked Chinese energy
conglomerate – successfully sought to infiltrate and compromise Joe

holding a light-only lightsaber.

the light-only lightsaber is a variant of the star wars lightsaber that has

we thought of an electromagnetic-interference idea but are imagining a
basic light emission idea might work better
the second idea was to dispense steam and project imagery onto the steam
but now we are thinking of lasers that overlap each other and disperse at
the end, possible very near or the same idea as the interference, much
bigger scale than wavelength
i guess you can probably make a special laser that is less focused so it
isn’t visible at the end
but then when you aim it at someone they’d be blinded :S

hmm

you could have a light-emitting helmet that took some of the

in and out. it would move in when an object is near. this is normal
solution.

something. i think also it is a different variant maybe not :S
)>
uhhh
oh! so maybe you could have a way of shielding the person its aimed at,
even, with a thing that jumps out hrm :S

if we make it wider it gets easier to hide the emissions
or if there is part that sticks out even a part of the way

hmmm
could we yank on the photons and bend them with gravity fields??

ummm
what if it turned itself off when it was aimed at someone’s eyes? then it
would be safer!
and it could use long-wavelength light (uhhh red? i don’t remember) to be a
smidge less intense? maybe doesn’t matter

i get the impression sending physical matter out of it really helps. how
about magnetic or electrically charged particles it can control with strong
fields from the hilt
then they kind of scatter when struck but it could pick them back up with
its strong fields
they could block the tip so it doesn’t blind people or start fires from a
distance, but more likely they’d be used to scatter light

still, kind of a compromise

can you create a standing radiation wave? i’m thinking back to em
interference. couldn’t we use interference to make light only as long as
the blade? then it would turn into other wavelengths at the end when the
interference was different. but it would send huge radiation out of the end
still, but it still opens many more avenues
like maybe there is a wavelength readily absorbed by air or something hmm
but then it would heat the air

basically lightsabers aren’t how light works. one would guess them to not
be pure light :S but i think we could make a pure light one with lots of
considering. then you realize it was silly to do, after you figure it out.

i’m imagining projecting bright images onto the air in such a way that
their focal points are all within the blade.

say the blade is 1 wide and uhh 50 long
uhh it’s easier the shorter it is maybe 40 long

measuring by thumb i think 10 long is a little short but not that
unreasonable, maybe 20 long makes sense.

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: February 26, 2024 ~

According to Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by
corporate insiders, ten of the key executives at the largest bank in the
United States, JPMorgan Chase, have dumped more than $150 million in common
stock in the bank this year. The sales come as the bank’s stock has been
hitting all time highs while the scandals at the bank are also hitting
unprecedented levels.

The largest seller by far was the Chairman and CEO of the bank, Jamie
Dimon. According to his Form 4, on February 22 of this year, Dimon sold
737,420 shares of the bank’s common stock for $135 million.

The newly promoted Troy Rohrbaugh, who is now Co-CEO of JPMorgan Chase’s
Commercial and Investment Bank (CIB), sold 75,000 shares on February 22 of
this year for $13.7 million.

Stacey Friedman, General Counsel at the bank, sold 6,030 shares on February
22 for $1.1 million.

Peter Scher, Vice Chairman, sold 1,810 shares on February 16 of this year
for approximately $324,000.

Jennifer Piepszak, Co-CEO, Commercial and Investment Bank (CIB), on
February 16, 2024, sold 1,648 shares for $295,000. Piepszak has been
selling large chunks of the bank’s stock since 2019.

Marianne Lake, CEO of the Consumer and Community Bank (CCB), on Feb 16 sold
4,459 shares for $798,000.

Ashley Bacon, Chief Risk Officer (at a bank that is ranked by its
regulators as the riskiest bank in the U.S.) sold 3,368 shares on February
16 of this year for approximately $602,856. Bacon has been selling large
chunks of JPMorgan Chase stock since 2013.

Mary Erdoes, who has been implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking
scandal at the bank, but remains CEO of the Asset & Wealth Management unit,
on January 16, 2024 sold 4,814 shares for $861,664. Erdoes has also been
selling large chunks of JPMorgan Chase’s stock since 2010. This is how the
New York Times reported Erdoes’ role with Epstein in August 2019:

“When compliance officers at JPMorgan Chase conducted a sweep of their
wealthy clients a decade ago, they recommended that the bank cut its ties
to the financier Jeffrey E. Epstein because his accounts posed unacceptable
legal and reputational risks.

“Yet Mr. Epstein, who had been charged with sex crimes and pleaded guilty
in 2008 to solicitation of prostitution, remained a JPMorgan client until
2013.

“The main reason, according to six former senior executives and other bank
employees familiar with the matter, was that Mary C. Erdoes, one of
JPMorgan’s highest-ranking executives, intervened to keep him as a client.”

Other key executives at JPMorgan Chase selling the bank’s stock this year
included:

Lori Beer, Chief Information Officer, sold 3,920 shares for $716,000.

Doug Petno, previously the head of the commercial bank, but now reporting
to Piepszak and Rohrbaugh, sold 3,267 shares of common stock in January and
another 3,266 shares this month for a combined $1.1 million.

It does not appear that Daniel Pinto, JPMorgan’s president and chief
operating officer, has sold stock yet this year. However, Pinto has been
selling large blocks of JPMorgan Chase stock since 2013. For example, on
May 11, 2023, Pinto sold 113,640 shares of the bank’s common stock for
proceeds of $15.4 million.

In most cases, when an insider executes a transaction, he or she must file
a Form 4 with the SEC within two business days following the transaction
date. Transactions in a company’s common stock as well as derivative
securities, such as options, warrants, and convertible securities, are
reported on the Form 4. We will watch to see if other key executives report
sales and if Dimon increases his sale of common stock. Dimon initially
reported that he would be selling 1 million shares of his stock.

“We’ve got to change the cost-benefit calculus of criminals and

financial and intellectual property, and hold our critical infrastructure
at risk, all without incurring any risk themselves...” (Wray 2020)

Introduction
Crypto and Blockchain are each a Human Right.
For all, everywhere.
How does New York based bank fraud happen from the inside? People who
commit crimes comprise departments and divisions of corporate
organizations, and some current Human Resources (HR) management cultures
lend well to the committing of crimes.
What organizational HR management design structures are at play to
architectect such fraud for bespoke juristical instances?
Is there a unique opportunity for a fresh and clean New York-based
international bank such as Bank.org?
xNY.io argues that modern and innovative Executive Suites pioneer
organizational HR management with the CEO and CFO leading the pack as the
most ethical example for members in their organization. This key
distinction calls for leaders to always adhere to a very strict, yet
progressive, standard of ethics, even when it’s inconvenient.
World renowned executive Jack McCullough suggests strict adherence is
necessary, especially when it’s inconvenient. McCullough says that if
you’re seen as a CEO and CFO “who will compromise when convenient, this
approach will cause colleagues to consider all the talk about ethics to be
lip service” (McCullough 2019).
The leadership at xNY.io is clear-eyed, recognizing the importance of an
extensive review program which seeks to explore all aspects of the
following criteria as part of Legal, Compliance, and Governance (Bloomberg
2021), which is our internal due diligence framework based on first class
industry standards and best practices (xNY.io | Bank.org n.d.).
In summary, this HR management innovation essay outlines and explores three
key concerns for modern Bank and CryptoBank organizations. These concerns
are signaled by our regulators who rightly suggest that it is critically
important that the organizers identify, at the beginning of the process, an
available management team and board of directors (NY-DFS 2008):
The theory of modern virtual currency cross-border regulation logic (Larson
2020a).
How to protect xNY.io’s strategic partnership with Bank.org and its mandate
to pioneer innovation(s) and noble advancement of modern international
banking?
Whereas, it is essential to safeguard virtual currency and its potential to
galvanize international, economic and social advancement of all peoples
(United Nations 1948).
Most importantly, what organizational HR management structures are
necessary to execute the proposed xNY.io and hybrid model framework, while
engaging agile innovation to explore the potential of growing Bank.org into
the World’s Best Bank and headquartered in New York (NY-DFS 2019)?

Focus, Goals and Objective(s)
Why would a New York bank build organizational HR strategies with the sole
purpose of taking advantage of the most vulnerable for exorbitant profit?
xNY.io’s focus is to fill a need in clarifying New York’s virtual currency
standards to achieve progressive innovation while constantly promoting
respect for human rights and personal freedoms by progressive measures,
national and international, to secure their universal and effective
recognition and observance across all global territories of business,
protecting all peoples and all nations (United Nations 1948).
Our simple strategy rests in the fact that virtual currency has
cross-border utilities (European Commission 2021). Our real world
experience has uncovered the strategy of a New York bank's misemployed
Manhattan Island as a walled garden for
