Not political at all, just happenstance.....🙄
The reaction to the Capitol Hill riot by supporters of President Trump stands in stark contrast to the response of banks and corporations to the Black Lives Matter anti-police riots and protests of last year. In response to those events, corporations pledged over a billion in support of Black Lives Matter and related causes.
Wall Street is slamming the lid shut on the coffers of its corporate political action committees and threatening pro-Trump politicians on Capitol Hill with blacklisting.
Following a week in which major social media companies cut of President Donald Trump and began excluding some of his biggest advocates in the wake of the Capitol Hill riot, some of the nation’s largest financial institutions have announced that they are halting donations to their political action committees and considering permanently cutting off politicians accused of attempting to “overturn” the 2020 election.

Could Wall Street be trying to divert attention away from the effects of Executive Order 13959? President Trump signed the order on November 12, 2020, and it went into effect today, January 11th.
ReplyDeleteThe Order can be read at

and more info from Sec. of State Pompeo on December 28, 2020 at:

The list of companies is long, and includes telecommunications because those support the military.
I don't know how much of the text one can copy. Here is a section of Mr. Pompeo's from the middle:
Today, the Treasury Department noted that Executive Order 13959 prohibits the ownership of any CCMC shares by exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and index funds, as well as any of their 50 percent or greater majority-owned subsidiaries that have been publicly listed by the Treasury or Defense Departments. This ensures U.S. capital does not contribute to the development and modernization of the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) military, intelligence, and security services.
The Executive Order applies to all transactions by U.S. persons, including individuals, institutional investors, pension funds, university endowments, banks, bond issuers, venture capital firms, private equity firms, index firms, and other U.S. entities, including those operating overseas. This should allay concerns that U.S. investors might unknowingly support CCMCs via direct, indirect, or other passive investments including those linked to educational, ETFs, venture funds, private equity, Real Estate Investment Trusts, commodities, endowments, pensions, or any other investment funds tracking bonds, loans, lease lines, debt or equity indices that include securities of CCMCs or subsidiaries publicly listed by the U.S. government.
I really don't know but if you hear more, please let me know. Thanks.
DeleteWho would enforce such an EO? Even if any entity was actually charged, what court would hear the case? It's become appallingly clear that the courts up to the highest level are at best sitting it out, and much more likely under enemy control.
DeleteWall Street. Just ordinary everyday hard working Americans, who put America first. Good people, good people. The best people, in fact.
