“Journalist Kit Klarenberg’s latest article at the Grayzone, “FTX partnership with Ukraine is latest chapter in shady Western aid saga,” sheds new light on the money-grabbing schemes emerging from the Ukraine proxy war.
The report details how Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX, the crypto exchange that saw its valuation implode from $32B to $0 in a single day, used a Ukraine fundraiser to raise $60 million from donors. This was followed by the mass selloff of FTX currency and a declaration of bankruptcy from the scam company. This raises the question: where did the money for Ukraine go?
Kit Klarenberg joins the Useful Idiots with the scoop.
He, along with his fellow Grayzone writers, has been the subject of multiple attacks for uncovering stories like this and his other new piece: “Leaked documents: British spies constructing secret terror army in Ukraine.” It seems that when government officials and the corporate media don’t want the truth uncovered, they don’t argue against the story but make personal attacks against the writer as character assassination.
And sadly, it works all too often.
One such corporate official, Useful-Idiot-favorite of Scary Poppins fame Nina Jankowicz, went after Klarenberg on Twitter. Kit describes the online beef in the extended episode. (turns out we can’t see those tweets because…we got blocked)
Subscribe to hear the full interview, where Klarenberg reveals plots from UK operatives to blow up Ukrainian bridges, more Western destruction of peace talks, and how the US uses Britain to spread propaganda.
It’s all this, and more, on this week’s episode of Useful Idiots. Check it out.
Plus, catch our Thursday Throwdown on the near-nuclear Armageddon, Trump’s big announcement, and Aaron getting canceled by Olena Zelenska.

“Krystal and Saagar talk about Biden’s plan for taking on Trump in the 2024 matchup that nobody wants to see.”
Voters Did Not give Mo Lyin’ a pass…They were mortified by the monstrous candidates the repulsicans were trying to put into government.
Don’t kid yourself…This was business as usual…another election stolen by “lesser of two evils”.
Maybe a rare decent person got in…but we don’t know who the next Krusty Enema is going to be.

“Much discussion leading up to the 2022 midterms revolved around how important “the economy” would be in the final voting. Yet it seems like neither Republicans nor Democrats have much of a plan to help the more than 20 million Americans currently working two or more jobs just to pay rent, keep food on the table and take care of their medical needs. In fact, as a recent Guardian piece pointed out, there are Americans working multiple jobs who still have to sell their blood just to make ends meet.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the very real struggles faced by far too many working people today and how little is being done on a government-wide level to help.”
…Yeah…”Greatest Fucking Cuntry In The History Of The World”…Yeah…
This is The Reality for most of the working population.

“Greg Lock, pastor of the congregation I call Witches for Jesus, explains the consequences for the people who totally just deleted his very real email. Spoiler: they aren’t loving, forgiving, or kind. This guy really just made up a whole scenario to be upset about so he could yell at his community. It’s honestly very sick and scary.” |

“Association between vitamin D supplementation and COVID-19 infection and mortality https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24053-4 (12th November 2022) Johns Hopkins Vitamin D deficiency, associated with reduced immune function, can lead to viral infection Vitamin D deficiency, associated, increases the risk of COVID-19 But is it a treatment / prognosis improver? Population of US veterans, we show that Vitamin D2 and D3 fills Associated with reductions in COVID-19 infection After applying all restrictions 220,265 supplemented with vitamin D3 34,710 supplemented with vitamin D2 407,860 untreated patients. Study design Retrospective cohort Supplemented (before and during the pandemic), versus untreated controls One to one matches D2, D3, or calcifediol Veterans Administration Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW) electronic health records. Vitamin D levels typically respond to treatment following two months of exposure D3 cohort COVID-19 rates for the treated = 2.66% COVID-19 rates for the untreated = 3.30% D3 20%, reduction D2 28% reduction Mortality within 30-days of COVID-19 infection Infection ending in mortality within 30 days D3 group Treated group death rate after infection = 0.23% Untreated group death rate after infection = 0.35% Vitamin D3 33% mortality lower (HR, 67%) P less than 0.001 Vitamin D2 25% lower (HR, 75%) (but not significant) Veterans receiving higher dosages of Vitamin D obtained greater benefits from supplementation than veterans receiving lower dosages. Vitamin D blood levels between 0 and 19 ng/ml, exhibited the largest decrease in COVID-19 infection and mortality following supplementation (0–19 ng/ml, 20–39 ng/ml, and 40 + ng/ml) Dosage options, 20 IU, 40 IU, 100 IU, 125 IU, 200 IU, 250 IU, 400 IU, 500 IU, 800 IU, 1000 IU, 2000 IU, 5000 IU, 8000 IU, and 50,000 IU Black veterans received greater associated COVID-19 risk reductions, with supplementation than White veterans As a safe, widely available, and affordable treatment, Vitamin D may help to reduce the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. More background Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency affect approximately half of the US population, with increased rates in people with darker skin, reduced sun exposure, people living in higher latitudes in the winter, nursing home residents, and healthcare workers Populations with low levels of Vitamin D have also experienced higher rates of COVID-19 New mechanism Vitamin D is needed to allow T helper cells to control and reduce Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) production Conclusions These associated reductions in risk are substantial and justify more significant exploration and confirmation using RCTs. This is particularly important given the high rates of vitamin D deficiency in the US population and COVID-19. Extrapolate, D3 supplementation to the entire US population in 2020 4 million fewer COVID-19 cases (19,860,000 actual cases) 116,000 deaths avoided (351,999 actual deaths) Given our findings, the absence of severe side effects, the widespread availability of vitamin D3 at low cost, vitamin D3 presents a unique opportunity to reduce the spread and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. K2, MK-7 Supplement, probably 100 micrograms per day Nato, 1,000 micrograms per 100 g Cheese, typically 50 micrograms per 100 g Safe and effective UK, GP incentives to vaccinate Home, £30 Standard reimbursement to Primary Care Networks (which then gets passed to GPs) £15 New contract, £12.58 each Lawrence I have heard that Dr. John Campbell is in the pocket of Big Overhead Projector Lobby. Rumour is that he has accepted tens of dollars of under the table expenses. Anyone else notice that he always seems to have an endless supply of A4 paper and fountain pens?” |
