ADL MEGA DONOR HANDS OVER $70 MILLION WORTH OF STOLEN ANTIQUITIES
New York hedge fund billionaire and philanthropist Michael Steinhardt has handed over $70 million worth of antiquities after a criminal probe found the items he had acquired were stolen.
Steinhardt, who is one of the world’s largest ancient art collectors, agreed to surrender the 180 items to avoid facing any criminal charges, Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance said on Monday.
As part of the deal, Steinhardt is also subject to an unprecedented lifetime ban on acquiring any more antiquities.

Look at that sack of meat shit
What a sweet looking feller. I have my doubts just far this guy will be put through the ringer with the SDNY involved prosecuting one of its own. That’s some dandy looking shit though. I am a sucker for antiquities. I think I speak for everyone (even NC ;)) when I say I love everyone who is a decent human being. That is a broad term but most of you know what it means.
You know I asked about what offense would look like several weeks back. I have heard, and for just reason, that non violent compliance and civil disobedience were the most effective methods. In many cases this is very true. But if one were to flip the script a true brother would never want to invoke political pushback upon his kin. Fuck the media BUT remember this, if the media can use it to galvanize the sheeple (especially their foot soldiers) then its no good.
If one were looking for a way to turn the tables the importance of the act would ensure the media could blast it 24/7 from there towers but the average John/Jane Doe wouldn’t give a shit. I believe the answer is in the acronym of the story particularly the extremely well endowed from a monetary sense. I don’t believe many would care and I think it could well indeed turn the tide.
Yup…

Ya can’t make this shtuff up haha.
For those who are into antiquities or anthropology, here is a cutting edge and brilliant anthropologist, a fantastic video from last night. His is a secular and academic perspective, and utterly fascinating. I certainly understand why a billionaire would be passionate, or more likely, obsessed with collecting antiquities. It is not about the money, that is for sure.

Speaking of antiquities, just this morning, sealed the deal on the sale of a rare antique Mauser. Sure hate to let it go, but a serious collector hit me with an offer I could not ”refuse”. In 40 years of collecting, they had never seen one for sale, or one in person. I did not realize just how rare and valuable it was. I’ll also load them up some killer rounds at the pressures it can handle. These old bolt guns have a place. As these are not considered to be actual firearms by the BTAF, there is no paper involved. They will becoming, not for the guns, but for the gun owners. I have another antique that will probably prove to be a tack driver. It could be an option for relatives whom are nervous.
His Early life section was useless, but a few scrolls down….there it is ahahahahahahaah! every time!
