Google, the company who’s motto is “don’t be evil” does a deal with Russian government to ban websites that Putin doesn’t like, including anti corruption exposes, from its searches. That seems pretty evil to me.

Some good news from Denmark. The Danish police have indicted Danske Bank for money laundering. This was the bank that laundered $200m from the crime that Sergei Magnitsky discovered and was killed over.

I just want to point out that the population of Hungary is 10m and the population of the EU is 448m. That means that a country with 2.2% of the EU is blocking the will of 97.8% in supporting Ukraine. The rules of the EU are in desperate need of being changed.

When I worked on the Magnitsky Act in 2012, it passed the Senate 92-4. I joked afterwards that “there was no pro Putin torture and murder lobby in Washington”. I’m afraid to say that times have changed. Senator JD Vance is now parroting Putin’s exact words claiming that seizing.

The best by-product of Putin attacking me in Helsinki is that it showed how rattled he is by the Magnitsky Act. His public outburst will significantly increase the chances of getting 8 other countries to pass Magnitsky Acts

We need to understand Putin is a mass murderer and Prigozhin is also a mass murderer. There are no good guys in this fight. Having said that, Prighozin said yesterday the Ukraine invasion was a mistake so there’s a chance if he wins, the war would end. That’s impossible w/Putin.

12 years ago today, Sergei Magnitsky was murdered by the Putin regime for exposing a massive corruption scheme. The pain of his death still sits with me as intensely as the day I leaned of it. But he does have a huge legacy with the passage of the Magnitsky Act in 33 countries

So you need to look not at the ownership structure but rather at who manages and pays for it. That’s what we have done. Here is the crew list. A complete list of every employee onboard. From the captain to security deckhands.
