Qu’est-ce que cet homme vend ? – Cartier en a acheté, vous aussi ? | Barbara Crane Navarro

Pedro Pérez Miranda, alias “Peter Ferrari”

Quiconque envisage d’acheter ou de porter de l’or devrait voir l’épisode “Dirty Gold” de l’extraordinaire série d’anthologies documentaires de Netflix, “Dirty Money” ! C’est une version réelle de “Narcos” !

Ferrari était l’un des principaux coupables impliqués dans un plan monumental de contrebande d’or extrait illégalement du Pérou vers Miami, un point focal du commerce de l’or et de la joaillerie ainsi que du blanchiment d’argent.

Non seulement des sociétés de bijoux, de montres et d’accessoires en or comme Cartier achetaient involontairement cet or illégal, mais il était également acheté par Apple pour leurs téléphones et par des constructeurs automobiles pour des composants électroniques. L’argent que vous avez dépensé pour quelque chose que vous avez acheté a-t-il pu subventionner le yacht ou les voitures de Ferrari ?

Ferrari a-t-il reçu votre contribution par inadvertance à ses activités illicite

et de loisirs ?

Dirty Gold” de Netflix retrace le fonctionnement caché du nébuleux commerce de l’or de Miami qui aide de puissants groupes criminels organisés en Amérique latine à blanchir leurs profits illégaux.

Le Miami Herald a publié une enquête approfondie sur le commerce international de la drogue intitulée : “Comment les barons de la drogue gagnent des milliards en faisant passer de l’or en contrebande à Miami pour vos bijoux et vos téléphones”.

Iran’s supreme leader opens door to negotiations with United States over Tehran’s nuclear program | AP News

Iran’s supreme leader opened the door Tuesday to renewed negotiations with the United States over his country’s rapidly advancing nuclear program, telling its civilian government there was “no harm” in engaging with its “enemy.”

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s remarks set clear red lines for any talks taking place under the government of reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian and renewed his warnings that Washington wasn’t to be trusted.

But his comments mirror those around the time of Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, which saw Tehran’s nuclear program greatly curtailed in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. Yet it remains unclear just how much room Pezeshkian will have to maneuver, particularly as tensions remain high in the wider Middle East over the Israel-Hamas war and as the U.S. prepares for a presidential election in November.

JD Vance called for ‘federal response’ to block women from traveling for abortions | US elections 2024 | The Guardian

JD Vance, the Ohio senator and Donald Trump’s running mate, promoted a baseless rightwing talking point in 2022 when he warned of George Soros-funded planes transporting Black women across state lines for abortions.

“I’m sympathetic to the view that like, okay, look here, here’s a situation – let’s say Roe v Wade is overruled,” Vance said in a recently resurfaced podcast interview. “Ohio bans abortion in 2022, or let’s say 2024. And then, you know, every day George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately Black women to get them to go have abortions in California. And of course, the left will celebrate this as a victory for diversity – uh, that’s kind of creepy.”

The US supreme court overturned Roe in 2022. Vance’s statements echo a common anti-abortion talking point accusing abortion providers and their supporters of targeting people of color.

Black women did seek abortions at a higher rate before Roe fell, but public health experts say that this is far from proof of a racist conspiracy. They point to a number systemic factors – for example, Black women are more likely to live in areas where it’s harder to access contraception. They are also disproportionately harmed by abortion bans.

Vance continued: “And, and it’s like, if that happens, do you need some federal response to prevent it from happening? Because it’s really creepy. And I’m pretty sympathetic to that actually. So, you know, how hopefully we get to a point where Ohio bans abortion in California and the Soroses of the world respect it.”
