Political Risk Insurance for Iranian Shippers & Epstein Enablers?


Trump II came to the rescue of shippers stranded by his Iranian War of Choice.  He mobilized the U.S. Development Finance Corporation's (DFC's) "Political Risk and Guaranty products."  Their press release states:

DFC will offer support to commercial shipping charterers, shipowners, and key maritime insurance providers to minimize market disruptions and help ensure the free flow of goods and capital.

Trump appointed Ben Black to head the DFC last May.  Black is the son of Apollo Global co-founder Leon Black, a major sponsor of Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous international pedophile sex ring operator.


That's Leon Black with Donald Trump in 1996.  Ben was not yet a teenager.  Epstein later commissioned an artist to create a painting of Ben and his brother.

Epstein's other financial sponsor was Les Wexner of Victoria's Secret.  Modeling for Victoria's Secret was a frequent lure used by Epstein and his partner Ghislane Maxwell in recruiting new girls to farm out to the rich and powerful.

Ben Black sits on the board of Dogpound, a luxury gym where Victoria's Secret models workout.


Trump II may want to purchase political risk insurance regarding his friends and their Epstein connections.  He said he wants it to go away.


Loose lips sink ships and possibly presidents too.  It's a very small world for the rich and powerful.

As for the commercial ship sinking, Trump II said the U.S. would escort oil tankers and giant cargo ships through the Straits of Hormuz.  Calvin Froedge wrote: 
The US largely abandoned this escort strategy during the Red Sea conflict. In fact, an entire coalition of US and European naval forces along with Gulf States attempted this against the Houthis. The campaign was an utter failure and the ultimate conclusion from US military leadership was that it was much better risk reward to focus on suppressing strike capability. Yet after months of airstrikes Red Sea traffic never fully returned. Attacks continued.
Trump is disconnected from reality.  The political Red team needs to wake up and realize the Digital Caligula is wearing a coat made of cryptocurrency and his inadequate password is showing.

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.
