Before Pramila Jayapal was a leftist demagogue in the US Congress, she was a Wall Street “Bankster”. Born in India, Pramila Jayapal grew up in Indonesia as the child of an Esso (Exxon) oil company engineer. She attended the US Embassy/International School and then attended the elite Jesuit Georgetown University. She “worked as a financial analyst on Wall Street for PaineWebber in leveraged buy-outs” in the period the 1987 Wall Street crash – a fact scrubbed from her web site. According to her 2020 book, she spent two years there. She was probably laid off: “At the end of the 1980s, Paine Webber was bleeding. In 1988 its brokers ranked last in productivity (the amount of revenue each broker generates), and the firm owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines to the SEC for sales and trading abuses.” https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1999/07/05/262441/index.htm

Thus, we should not be surprised that Pramila Jayapal was behind a US Congressional bill to rob the two Medicare Trust funds, that US workers paid into with the promise of care in old age. Under the Sanders-Jayapal bill, the Trust Funds would be liquidated into a general pool to cover all individuals on US soil, including illegals and would be gone within months. The Trust Funds are its only source of funding.

Pramila was a 20 year old Georgetown English major in 1986, but her sister already worked at Goldman Sachs (1982-1985).

Pramila commenting on her time on Wall Street: “It was like people spent — and you know, we earned an inordinate amount of money… And so it was just this lifestyle of, you took limousines everywhere and you talked in billions of dollars. And so people, I think you just lost the sense of value, and that was true when you ate, you know, at restaurants, and what you spent on meals…” (Pramila Jayapal, 2004)

Pramila’s older sister, Susheela, states that she was at Goldman Sachs from 1982-85 and left because she “did not enjoy the work” and then went to law school: “Susheela Jayapal, Multnomah County’s District 2 Commissioner.” https://web.archive.org/web/20210120135439/https://theimmigrantstory.org/there-is-more-than-one-way/ However, she may have been laid off (“made redundant”) considering that in 1985, Goldman Sachs introduced “the first-ever computerized commercial paper dealer system, replacing the telephone and increasing the speed and accuracy of commercial paper transactions.” https://web.archive.org/web/20211128225841/https://www.goldmansachs.com/our-firm/history/moments/1985-commercial-paper-dealer-system.html

This lawsuit/complaint against PaineWebber was settled:
“The Complaint alleges that between 1980 and 1992, PaineWebber developed, marketed and operated numerous investment Partnerships as part of an ongoing conspiracy to defraud investors and enrich itself through excessive fees and commissions. Specifically, the Complaint asserts that the 70 Partnerships, which include limited partnerships in oil and gas, aircraft leasing and research and development, as well as real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other entities, were falsely and indiscriminately promoted to the public by PaineWebber as low-risk investments, when in fact PaineWebber knew the opposite to be true. (Complaint at ¶ ¶ 10-20, 116-136.)”

“Defendants are alleged to have implemented their scheme through the use of ” Uniform Sales Materials” and broker ” scripts” which stressed the safety of the Partnerships and emphasized PaineWebber’s experience, skill and trustworthiness in investigating and selecting high quality investment opportunities. (Complaint at ¶ ¶ 131-132.) The Partnerships allegedly were marketed as acceptable investments for retirement funding and as alternatives to tax free bonds or certificates of deposit, and PaineWebber brokers allegedly were coached to promote the Partnerships regardless of each customer’s investment objectives and without concern for the suitability of such investments. (Complaint at ¶ ¶ 18, 130-132.) It is also alleged that the marketing of the Partnerships was centrally orchestrated through the use of a uniform series of statements and sales materials, and that the same presentations were used nationwide for virtually all of the Partnerships regardless of the risk associated with the venture or the quality of the particular investment. ( See Complaint at ¶ ¶ 12, 116, 118, 128; Affidavit of Nicholas Chimicles submitted in support of the settlement (” Chimicles Aff.” ) at ¶ 14.) Defendants are alleged to have known, and to have concealed from investors, that the Partnerships were not actually conservative investments, but were in fact highly speculative ventures, and moreover that it would be extremely unlikely, if not impossible, for these investments ever to attain their stated goals, particularly in light of PaineWebber’s own substantial up-front fees and commissions. (Complaint at ¶ 136.)” In re PAINEWEBBER LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS LITIGATION.
Court:United States District Court, S.D. New York. Date published: Mar 20, 1997 https://casetext.com/case/in-re-painewebber-lmt-partnerships-litig

While she claims that she came by herself, her sister and at least one aunt were already in the United States. Pramila “came to the United States by herself at the age of 16 to attend college at Georgetown University and later received her MBA from Northwestern University. She has worked in a number of industries in both the public and private sector.

Private Sector: Following college, Jayapal worked as a financial analyst on Wall Street for PaineWebber in leveraged buy-outs. https://web.archive.org/web/20190501141314/https://jayapal.house.gov/about-me She started college in 1982, so she probably graduated in 1986. She quickly scrubbed PaineWebber from her web site: https://web.archive.org/web/20191113193958/https://jayapal.house.gov/about-me/

Given her “Bankster” background, we should not be surprised that Pramila Jayapal was behind a “Medicare for All” bill (scam) which robs the two Medicare Trust funds, that US workers paid into with the promise of care in old age.

Under the Sanders-Jayapal bill, the Trust Funds would be liquidated into a general pool to cover all individuals on US soil, including illegals and would be gone within months.

The Trust Funds are its only source of funding. https://www.medicare.gov/about-us/how-is-medicare-funded https://miningawareness.wordpress.com/2020/02/22/the-all-powerful-secretary-in-bernie-sanders-medicare-for-all-bill-is-a-former-big-pharma-drug-ceo-lobbyist-political-hack/

Medicare currently covers around 58 million, which is roughly the low estimate of new immigrants that Biden-Harris aim to import in the near term. https://www.fairus.org/issue/amnesty/numbers-how-biden-harris-immigration-platform
Contrary to popular belief, the very very poor (part-time minimum wage workers) and the disabled already receive Medicaid, even in non-Medicaid expansion states.

Medicare for All, as written by Pramila, is Medicare for None. The end result would be that everyone would have to buy health insurance, regardless of age. Companies wouldn’t go back to providing health insurance to workers once Medicare for All fails. And, seniors would have to buy private insurance at market rates, too. Medicare for All is dangerously centralized and would facilitate a sort of medical life-boat ethics, and denial of care, if it were implemented. https://miningawareness.wordpress.com/2021/01/06/great-reset-biden-covid-unethical-ethicist-thinks-75-is-good-age-to-die-accused-of-profiting-off-of-lockdowns-rahm-emanuels-bro-zeke/

Pramila talking about her Wall Street years:
“Yeah. It was, you know, very glitzy buildings, so we worked right on 52nd Street and Sixth Avenue, Avenue of the Americas was right where our building was, right across from Radio City Music Hall, actually, just a couple blocks up. And the CBS towers and everything, and so just these fancy buildings, and we just had cubicles, but they were all kind of on high floors and so beautiful views, but it was really the lifestyle. It was like people spent — and you know, we earned an inordinate amount of money for what we were… I mean, I earned then, at the age of twenty, what I earn now. [Laughs] So, so, and if I continued to work there, obviously my salary would be significantly different. But, you know, it was a huge amount of money at the time. Not quite what I earn now, but pretty close. And so it was just this lifestyle of, you took limousines everywhere and you talked in billions of dollars. And so people, I think you just lost the sense of value, and that was true when you ate, you know, at restaurants, and what you spent on meals and what you spent on dry cleaning. And the pace and the culture was, you know, that you stay up late and you work, and the person who’s here until four in the morning and only gets two hours of sleep and is…. there was just sort of this “money is king” philosophy, which was ruling investment banking at the time. And in terms of the work, I saw very clearly the lack of values in doing the work, because we were buying and selling companies that really should probably never have been bought or sold, but the investment bankers got a lot of money out of it, and the principals often got a lot of money out of it. But what was of value out of that, where was the value added to the financial markets as a whole? And it was very hard for me to see where that was. So that was all part of the corporate culture. The good things about it, very smart people, there were just some brilliant, brilliant people, brilliant thinkers. You had to be confident. I mean, I learned a lot about being in situations where I know nothing — [laughs] — but being able to somehow figure out what I’m supposed to do or what I’m supposed to say. And so it was great training for me as a young person, but there was no passion in it; it was soulless. It was, it was all just about money. That’s really what it was about…” (Tiny excerpt from a 2004 interview: https://archive.li/Kqzs3

In her 2020 book she admits to working there for two years. If she was at Georgetown from 1982-1986, then she was at PaineWebber in 1986-88, which means her wakeup call was probably from getting fired. Of course, she’s not admitting that and in the book she paints her departure as an ethical wakeup call: “I ended up at the investment banking firm, PaineWebber, where I was eventually placed in the leveraged buyout department. There, I built complex spreadsheets and became comfortable with financial statements and numbers. It was the mid-1980s… I was doing things that no twenty-year-old should have even been allowed to get close to, much less manage. For example, overseeing bankruptcy proceedings for a long-time shoe company that had been sold a load of lies about how taking on enormous debt would be good for their expansion when the company clearly couldn’t sustain that level of debt…. There seemed to be far too many highly leveraged, risky deals across Wall Street where a lot of people were laid off-_and the only people who seemed to benefit were the investment bankers and lawyers… for all the skills I had attained and the big bonuses I received, I didn’t feel fulfilled…” (Pramila Jayapal, “Use the Power You Have: A Brown Woman’s Guide to Politics and Political Change”, 2020.)

Unlike her compatriots of India, also sitting in the US Congress, she did go back to try to “help” India, but found it too hard and returned to the USA and appears to want to “fix” the USA and make it like India or perhaps more dysfunctional than India. Go figure. The only thing crazier is that she is allowed to do it.

From her web site: “During her years at business school, she became interested in applying her business skills for social good, working on economic development issues in South Chicago, and then spending the summer working on rural economic development issues for a private nonprofit organization in Thailand. Later, she worked for a cardiac defibrillator company in sales and marketing, covering territory in Western Ohio and Eastern Indiana where she was the first woman and first person of color in the sector. She left the private sector in 1991….” https://web.archive.org/web/20190501141314/https://jayapal.house.gov/about-me/

More about her background:

Pramila Jayapal’s mother’s name is Maya Menon. She has explained that her real (father’s) surname is Muduvangad Puthanveetil (the house name in Kerala, India) and his first name was Jayapalan. He shortened it to Jayapal and made that his last name, and used M.P. as a sort of first name. [This appears to have been the style.] Pramila notes that both of her parents were from Kerala, which, she pointed out, is known for being one of the two Communist States in India. Her paternal uncle was Secretary of Labor in Kerala. So, her family background was presumably communist, then – at least on her father’s side. Her caste is Nayars. Her maternal grandfather was a policeman for the British, and became Police Chief . She grew up in Indonesia, the child of an American oil company engineer (Esso-Exxon). She moved to the USA as a student, then stole jobs from Americans as an H1B worker, and then apparently got her green card-citizenship through marriage. See 2004 interview, as well as her 2020 book: https://archive.li/Kqzs3 Nayar-Nair are traditionally snake worshippers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nair

We don’t know if Pramila is kin to this Menon:
“From the Observer archive: this week in 1956
Nehru’s double standards over Russia’s intervention in Hungary condemned
Mr Nehru’s admirers have been distressed by his persistent refusal to blame Russia’s brutal intervention in Hungary in the same outspoken terms that he has applied to the Anglo-French action in Egypt. He authorised his representative at the United Nations, Mr Krishna Menon, to vote with the Soviet bloc against the resolution calling for a Russian withdrawal.…” https://www.theguardian.com/news/2015/nov/15/from-the-observer-archive-1956

“After the September 11, 2001 attacks, and in the wake of discrimination and civil liberties abuses against Muslims, Arabs and South Asians, Jayapal founded the nonprofit Hate Free Zone (now OneAmerica). She served as Executive Director for 11 years, growing the organization to be the largest immigrant advocacy organization in Washington state and one of the largest in the country. Under her leadership, OneAmerica successfully worked to sue the George W. Bush administration to stop the deportations of thousands of Somalis across the country; to help end Special Registration of Muslims and Arabs; and to lead the fight for comprehensive immigration reform. OneAmerica also led the effort to establish an Office of Immigrant & Refugee Affairs in Seattle, and to make Seattle one of the first cities to ban asking about immigration status by law enforcement or city officials. At the state level, OneAmerica was at the forefront of the effort to preserve drivers licenses for all, regardless of citizenship status, in Washington state, and to promote immigrant integration. In 2009, Jayapal was named by Governor Christine Gregoire as Vice Chair of the state’s New Americans Policy Council. OneAmerica also led one of the largest voter registration efforts in Washington state, helping more than 23,000 new Americans register to vote. Jayapal went on to lead the national coalition, We Belong Together, to bring a gender lens to immigration reform. The coalition played a key part in adding important provisions in the 2013 comprehensive immigration reform bill that ultimately passed the U.S. Senate with 68 bipartisan votes, but was stalled in the House. She was appointed by Seattle Mayor Ed Murray to the Income Inequality Committee that crafted the successful legislation to raise the city’s minimum wage to $15. She also co-chaired the search for a new police chief in Seattle, during a tumultuous time as the city was under a Department of Justice consent decree.” https://web.archive.org/web/20190501141314/https://jayapal.house.gov/about-me/
