Subj : 2017-20 vs. 2021 To : ALL From : Dumas Walker Date : Sat Nov 20 2021 11:16:00 2017-20: The peanut gallery: "Russian collusion! Russian interference! Orange Man Bad!" 2021: President Joe Biden nominates Saule Omarova to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Omarova, born in the USSR and educated in Soviet-era Russia, once called banking the "a--h--e industry." She has in the past voiced a opinion that private banks (and bank accounts) should all be merged into one central, government-owned-and-run bank where, presumably, the government can keep a better eye on the banking habits of its citizens. She has also voiced opinions that make it sound like she would be OK with the US energy industry going bankrupt if it hurried about a quicker migration to green energy. Nevermind that it would put a lot of workers out of jobs, or the affect it would have on our economy as a whole, right? She attended Moscow State University on a Lenin academic scholarship, and wrote her thesis lauding the economic and revolutionary views of Karl Marx. Reference to this thesis existed in her CV in 2017 but has mysteriously vanished in the copies currently floating around Congress. The peanut gallery: Strange how people so concerned about Russian influence and interference in our government don't seem to have any issue with a former citizen of the USSR being involved in our banking system. Funny how quickly times change. * SLMR 2.1a * Peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. --- þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTP .
