CONNECT THE DOTS


                                                   CONNECT THE DOTS
On August 17th 2016 KC posted:
Trump's campaign manager Paul Manafort had received over $12 million of secret payments from President. Yanukovych of the Ukraine.
  • "The senior Ukrainian prosecutor alleges that in 2006 Mr Manafort orchestrated a series of anti-Nato,anti-Kiev protests in Crimea led by Viktor Yanukovych’s pro-Russian Party of Regions — now designated a criminal organisation.
  • The protests forced planned NATO exercises there to be cancelled. 
  • No charges were pursued because of a lack of evidence after Crimea was annexed. "
The King went on:    
  • "If true--are you betting against it?-then this is Treason. No really it is Treason.

On the same day I posted the above Manafort was fired as Head of Trumpf's campaign....
                            POST HOC ERGO PROPTER HOC?    Naaah!
On March 27th, 2017 and in numerous other postings HRH KC asserted:
  ”Paul Manafort will not be indicted for Treason but will have very serious Tax and Money Laundering problems."


                                            UPDATE
·   Mueller files new charges against ex-Trump aides Manafort and Gates


  •  Manafort indicted on three dozen more counts of money Laundering and tax evasion
  • Gates pleads guilty and cooperates with Mueller’s office
  • Alex van der Zwaan, a Dutch lawyer worked with Manafort & Gates representing pro-Russian interests in Ukraine, admitted lying...as part of a plea deal with Mueller’s office.
  • Manafort & Gates worked for Ukrainian despot and Putin ally Yanukovitch from 2005 until his overthrow in 2014
  • Paid for in part by Rinat Akhmetov,Ukraine’s richest oligarch and Putin friend
  • Both Manafort an d Gates used Cyprus banks, notably the Bank of Cyprus as a conduit for hiding and laundering their Ukrainian  & Russian payments
  • During this period Manafort engaged in significant  US lobbying of Publican friends in congress and Bush administration—e.g. Cheney ,McConnell, Ryan and RNC chair EdGillespie

  • These men could NOT have Not Known about Manafort’s past when they gave him the nod to take over Trumpski’s faltering campaign in June 2016.
  • Manafort joined Trumpski’s team in March 2016 becoming campaign boss in June.

DAVOS



                                                            DAVOS

This weeks news coverage of the cavorting at DAVOS of the Great,the notsoGood and the Mighty has led to a number of missives to the Palace asking about HRH Cyclops whereabouts.   

If you will forgive  a slightly weary snottiness:                              
  •    Been there done that.Not Cyclops scene.
  •    Attended some 25 years ago at the founding.
  •    Klaus Scwab[founder and grand preener] not the King's cup of tea.
  •    The King certainly not Herr Scwab's favoured beverage.
  •    Last time I dropped by[4 years ago] it had been taken over by billionaire Russki             Oligarchs.
  •  Chinese spies and Western Influence Wannabees.

This year's mass attendance by the Trumpski cabinet,Javanka et al confirms it as the must not miss destination for nouveaux faux policy parading.
Not for the KING.

But I cannot wait to see more pictures of the "Ivanka Thoughtful look".
                                 ivanka  montage.jpg
                                          She also speaks 
                                      ivanka speaks.jpg
                               JUDGING BY THE REACTIONS LISTENING IS BETTER


Was Henry K there this year or had the quota for avaricious,unindicted war criminals already been filled?

To those of the blogs recipients who are at Davos : 

                Rest assured HRH Cyclops understands your needs/obligations.
                                     
                                        EGO TE ABSOLVO
