James "Jes" Staley, the former CEO of Barclays, stepped down from the Bowdoin Board of Trustees on Monday, according to a statement from Director of Communications Scott Hood.
Yet another finance titan has just been forced out of their CEO job due to unsavory ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Months after Apollo co-founder and former CEO Leon Black abruptly left private equity giant Apollo following an internal uprising over his ties to the now-deceased Epstein, Staley, - who had been tasked with transforming Barclays' into one of Europe's top banks with a focus on its credit card business - has been forced out after a regulatory investigation that found Staley's ties to Epstein were closer than he had let on. Staley told his board that his relationship with Epstein ended in 2015, but British regulators appear to dispute this.
Per the FT, the bank was blindsided by the findings. Previously, it had planned to send Staley to the COP26 climate talks in Glasgow this week.
“The Great Narrative initiative and Meeting in Dubai will be a powerful catalyst to shape the contours of a more prosperous and inclusive future for humanity that is also more respectful of nature” — Klaus Schwab, 2021
“The Great Narrative Initiative [is] a collaborative effort of the world’s leading thinkers to fashion longer-term perspectives and co-create a narrative that can help guide the creation of a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable vision for our collective future” — World Economic Forum, 2021
“The grand narrative has lost its credibility, regardless of what mode of unification it uses, regardless of whether it is a speculative narrative or a narrative of emancipation” — Jean-Francois Lyotard, “The Post Modern Condition: A Report on Knowledge” (1979)
“In the battle for hearts and minds of human beings, narrative will consistently outperform data in its ability to influence human thinking and motivate human action” — Davos Agenda, 2015
But according to Lyotard’s philosophy, the WEF’s so-called great narrative initiative lost its credibility the moment it was conceived.
And who are they enlisting to help craft their narrative?
Geneticists, futurists, philosophers, scientists, and special interest groups that tow the great reset line will be the ones shaping the great narrative.

Several Huma posts are in the early Nov range, oddly coinciding with her "nothing was my fault" book tour.

Just thought about that odd bit a couple of years ago that involved IIRC an internet site and cell phone app that identified where "paranormal activity" was happening in the vicinity of given coordinates. That one dropped off the radar fairly quickly.
Cheers

I am really struggling with this. As soon as I saw the yellow link to Quebec that brought back Kamala's connection. She moved there with her mother and lived in a yellow building.
Singing like a bird she channeled Diana Ross using the nom de disco "Angel". Rel has some posts with a Victoria Secret Angel.
I have been under the impression and I will admit I had not really looked into this but can she become President? She was born here so have we just been lulled into believing that it is not possible? I mean her parents were not U.S. citizens when she was born and some suggest that she was an anchor baby but I am not constitutional expert so I really don't know. The Fact Checkers of course have the problem solved.
Reason I am concerned is that Biden is deteriating. I watched a Youtube of him and Jill climbing some steep stairs and meeting some political leaders. She led him and she greeted and shook hands with the leaders before he did and then he followed her example and just introduced himself saying I am Joe. I am sure they all knew him so not a normal meet and greet.
Obama and so many support staff and of course the enemedia are there so everyone is running cover for him. I really don't know how much longer they can run with this charade so this brings this topic looming to the forefront.
I mean the options are really horrible. If not her then Pelosi?
Facebook said it will shut down its face-recognition system and delete the faceprints of more than 1 billion people amid growing concerns about the technology and its misuse by governments, police and others.
“This change will represent one of the largest shifts in facial recognition usage in the technology’s history,” Jerome Pesenti, vice president of artificial intelligence for Facebook’s new parent company, Meta, wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. “Its removal will result in the deletion of more than a billion people’s individual facial recognition templates.”
He said the company was trying to weigh the positive use cases for the technology “against growing societal concerns, especially as regulators have yet to provide clear rules.”

Hmmm.
Facebook to shut down face-recognition system, delete data

So a government agency just gave back control over something it took?
