Fortress DC
All this Bidenesque healing and normalcy is just so soothing:
According to Ken Cuccinelli, the former head of the Department of Homeland Security, Pelosi not only asked for those massive numbers of troops, but she also asked for the Guard to have crew-manned vehicle mounted machine guns. Now that’s absolutely crazy, was she really envisioning Guard members machine gunning down Americans? Remember these are the same folks who ignored violent riots precipitated by BLM/Antifa for months and chastised President Donald Trump for responding to them with federal agents.
But now reports are suggesting that Pelosi wants them there into March, during impeachment proceedings…
So she’s going to try to use them like her personal Army till mid-March? Welcome to the security state. Based on what? Notice how they’re very happy to use the Guard for themselves yet not so much for other citizens during the months of rioting.
This is theater for the masses. The leftists burning huge sections of city after city in months’-long riots were just protestors; nothing much to be afraid of there. But a short-lived riot that seems to have been predominantly on the right – or what might be called the far-right, and which only reached the intensity it did because of totally inadequate security – now, that requires enormous numbers of troops, staying for an extended and yet vaguely-defined period of time. The aim is to say that the first group isn’t dangerous but the second group is greatly to be feared and really is an insurrection that must be put down by increased monitoring and restriction of the civil liberties of everyone on the right.
[NOTE: I’ve been writing a lot of posts lately with “liberty” as one of the categories. No surprise there.]
The rioting and the reaction of Democratic governors and mayors to it should have wrecked the Democratic Party this year. Much of the electorate is simply not serious.
The state governors need to order their contingents home. Having the Guard there for six weeks is disgusting and absurd.
The junta needs the Army. That’s how it’s done in Venezuela? I hope the National Guard from most states won’t stick around to put on the clown show for Nancy and Chuck.
Will the media start a calendar/chyron:
“It’s been x days since the National Guard has been deployed to suppress the insurrection in our nation’s capitol!”
From videos I saw of Jan 6 Capital ” riot” it was Antifa pushing the crowd, the other 1/2 million was a normal Trump rally
(went to one pre election and will remember it forever.
Over $2B in insurance liability, maybe another $1B unfunded last year and two capital windows draws more arrests of Conservatives that a summer of riots.
The left thinks that they can make the right look bad by doing this, but I don’t buy it. The optics of having armed troops in the street to protect the politicians are horrible. It has a very Tiananmen Square appearance, and to me makes the left look very authoritarian and very bad.
Read the lead two stories at Conservative Tree House.
DHS issues a “Terror Advisory” about the “domestic threat” of “ideologically-motivated violent extremists” with objections to “the presidential transition.” CTH has a link to the issued PDF. Zero Hedge is carrying the story, too.
This morning, the Feds arrested a social media influencer who posted an obvious satire on Twitter about voting for Hillary in 2016, charging that “the defendant exploited a social media platform to infringe one the of most basic and sacred rights guaranteed by the Constitution: the right to vote.” Again, there’s a link to the DoJ Press Release.
And, my best friend emailed me to say that there’s a billboard not far from here (the most conservative county in our state) asking us to provide information about anyone who was in DC for the “insurrection.” A good friend of mine was in DC for Trump’s speech.
It’s getting scary out there. Do we have to wait for blood running in the streets before we do something?
Skip – I was there on January 6th. Best tailgate party ever until we heard about Ashli Babbitt being killed. The mood turned somber and sad after that.
Chris – the break-in shook the establishment deeply. They are truly scared of us.
Poor Antifa/BLM. They riot, they loot, they burn, night after night for months. Spend 40 days and nights trying to burn down a federal courthouse, using lasers to intentionally try to blind federal “stormtroopers”. And they get no respect. Sure, a couple get pulled off the street for a couple hours of questioning, but they don’t face prosecution. For them, the police wouldn’t even coordinate across agencies.
But some old fat people go to a mostly peaceful protest where some accidentally follow a clear minority of bad actors who breach the Capitol into the Capitol often staying inside the ropes and they get unscalable fences topped with razor wire, tens of thousands of National Guard, requests for crew-served and vehicle mounted machine guns, not to mention arrests across the country, real expectation of prosecution. Now that demonstrates real respect.
“DHS issues a “Terror Advisory” about the “domestic threat” of “ideologically-motivated violent extremists” with objections to “the presidential transition.”
It means that Conservatives and Republicans can’t meet in groups of more than 2 (SC!). But also means that they are now going to go after Antifa and maybe BLM. The riots of last year will not be tolerated this year. They did what they were suppose to do and now aren’t needed.
Who pays for these troops? If Nancy and her ilk can’t show “definite threats” send the troops home. If Nancy and her ilk still want them then send her the bill!
Whatever happened to “Abuse of Power?”
New trend for TV crime shows…right wing militias are back and more popular then ever.
The Covid Crisis and our “desperate times” is the New Rationale for a racist policy of racial equality of outcomes, Christened “equity.” Biden’s new EO give us the SWJ newspeak from Susan Rice, yesterday:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YMfyVxaKNc
We must be made more equal in result to prove we ain’t hayseed racists no more- yessum, may-am.
Regarding DC statehood, there’s a reason why it isn’t a state.
It’s a federal district and it would not be fair to the other states to have the seat of power in just one state.
Will there be a GOP leader smart enough to get DC folded back into Maryland and create a new federal District which is home to the national gov’t somewhere else like MO or CO, etc?
Or will they just cave to Dem demands?
Agree with others who are saying it’s time for the guard to go home. Or else ask for large payoffs to the National Guard commanders who agree to supply muscle to the Democrats. That’s the way it’s done in Venezuela: Maduro makes sure the commanders get very large payoffs. They are the new middle class. Stop the payments, Maduro gets the boot. We should adopt a similar policy vis-à-vis Nancy: pay up or the troops will turn against you.
neo states, “The aim is to say that the first group isn’t dangerous but the second group is greatly to be feared and really is an insurrection that must be put down by increased monitoring and restriction of the civil liberties of everyone on the right.
That is the message and the strategy.
That strategy is a fatally flawed one. As, increasing levels of oppression are going to be needed to advance the left’s agenda. Which will result in more and more Americans awakening to the reality of the tyranny that the now radical democrat party seeks to impose.
That strategy relies for its success upon an intimidated public and a compliant military. The great majority of whom have middle class families and friends who will experience that oppression and who will speak of it in no uncertain terms to their military relatives and friends… which means that those in the military will be aware of the increasing tyranny from the left…
When the Fed’s lawyers, thugs and stormtroopers crack down on dissent it won’t just be the great majority of the public who is repelled by the Fed’s actions. It will be a great majority of the US Military as well…
Making that strategy an unsustainable one.
It’s not going to end well for the left because they’ve chosen… poorly.
To paraphrase that ancient Greek playwright Sophocles, “Those the gods would destroy, they first make mad”
Pelosi, et al requesting crew-manned vehicle mounted machine guns is pure madness.
Nancy and her staff really don’t want to find out what crew-served weapon systems could do. Capitol Police complaining about protestors being armed and being outgunned. Dementia strikes Nancy first, Creepy Joe not far behind.

Thunder Run – Bagdad on the Potomac. Idiots.
Art+Deco,
“Much of the electorate is simply not serious.”
Inarguably true. Yet nothing concentrates the mind so wonderfully as the prospect of a mortal threat (serious crime skyrocketing) and increasing impoverishment. Both of which the Left is committed to with their policies.
om,
The junta does indeed need the military. 80% of whom the left is contemptuous of but who can see of what Sec. Def. Austin’s threat consists. All he will do is impose silence and create a deep, lasting anger.
Cap’n Rusty,
“Do we have to wait for blood running in the streets before we do something?”
Yes we do because to act before there is more patriot blood refreshing the Tree of Liberty is to act before the support of liberals for the left starts to evaporate and before the great majority of the military see it as well.
SHIREHOME,
Antifa, quite possibly for the reason you state. BLM? I think not. Too easily portrayed as… more evidence of “systemic racism”. Though if employed, a truly Machiavellian ploy.
jack,
“Who pays for these troops?”
The Treasury Dept. has not run out of paper…
LAURENCE JARVIK,
Only the right can be guilty of “Abuse of Power”. Just ask anyone in the MSM.
JimNorCal,
Come on man! Whatever advances the agenda is fair.
Cap’n Rusty:
Snitches get stitches (and end up in ditches).
Expect this meme to go viral.
Sooner or later billboards like the one you mentioned are going to get redecorated.
Regarding DC statehood, there’s a reason why it isn’t a state.
It’s a federal district and it would not be fair to the other states to have the seat of power in just one state.
The concern, IIRC, was that a host state would exercise undue power over the seat of government. That’s an anachronism. Retrocede the District to Maryland if they’ll take it.
When I saw Pelosi’s demand for crew-served machine guns, I was immediately reminded of a passage in Remarque’s ‘The Road Back’ in which a group of former German soldiers, returned home at the end of WWI, encounters an unruly group of demonstrators who are marching on the town hall. Which is protected by government troops with a machine gun.
The commander of the troops is recognized as their former company commander from the Front.
“A choking tension grips me, as if I must now look on at an execution. Heel will fire–I know.”
One man runs forward, toward the Town Hall…and the machine gun.
“Don’t shoot, Comrades!”
“…But when the mob sees the unarmed man run forward, it advances too. In a thin stream it trickles along the side of the church. The next instant a command resounds over the square. Thundering, the tick-tack of the machine gun shatters into a thousand echoes from the houses, and the bullets, whistling and splintering, strike on the pavement.
Quick as lightening, we have flung ourselves behind a jutting corner of the houses. In the first moment a paralyzing, curlike fear seized me, quite different from any that I ever felt at the Front. Then it changes into rage. I have seen the solitary figure, how he spun around and fell forward.”
The man who was shot–and killed–turns out to be Max Weil, a Jewish soldier who was the company’s first-aid man at the Front.
Now the violence runs wild. People start tearing up the pavement to make barricades. Mattresses and chairs are thrown down from the houses.
Shots flash out from the square and now are answered from the roofs.
“Into ’em Ernst! Ludwig, Albert!” roars Kosole. “The swine are shooting at women!
We crouch in the doors of the houses, bullets lashing, men shouting; we are submerged, swept away, devastated, raging with hate; blood is spurting on the pavement, we are soldiers once more–it has us again, crashing and raging war roars above us, betwen us, within us; it is finished, comradeship riddled by machine guns, soldiers shooting at soldiers, comrades at comrades; ended, it is finished—”
Rep. Thomas Massie was interviewed tonight about the troops in DC. He agreed with Neo that it is about theater and optics. He believes it is an attempt to make Americans think that there is an ongoing threat of a coup d’etat thereby necessitating an impeachment trial in the Senate.
Perhaps, if the impeachment trial quickly fades into oblivion, the troops can go home.
Has anyone here been following the r/wallstreetbets story?

^^^ Oops please ignore. I see this has been discussed in another thread.
z, deep capture, Patrick Bryne’s article on naked short selling.
It’s a good show, 2021 so far.
Don’t miss the plot twist.
Speaking generally and not to you in particular: Do what, exactly, and with whom? Do you have a workable plan with a reasonably projected outcome? Have you deeply and accurately analyzed the forces arrayed against you, and calculated their “firepower” and their willingness to use it? Do you even have a solid footing?
Regarding the latter, it generally seems not. Seemingly half the people posting here have what sound like kids who are perfectly willing to send their own parents to reeducation camps. The other half have strident and obsessive in-laws that cannot be trusted not to sell them out for little more than a “like” and a feel good.
What are you going to do, stand in a field waving a Gadsden flag and a Mak-90 until you are napalmed?
Spartacus is right. They are shocked into a state of panic that a small group of disrupters could waltz their way into the Capitol and treat their back yard like a carnival. The institution dwellers are panicked. And they know that given time, the liberty party will gain strength and solve the tactical and strategic problems that have bedeviled it.
Thus, the panicked institution dwellers are going to be focused on arranging provocations in order to try and elicit an extra-legal reaction from the American Middle BEFORE the American Middle can map out that coherent and systematic strategy for taking their Constitutional liberties and rights back.
“When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles scream and shout “, is not a strategy. Neither is “chase the sock on a string”.
As of now, your families are unreliable, your churches infested, and your circle of healthy and reinforcing associations attritted, by years of demoralization and seduction.
First things first then. New avenues of communication for like minded people, as is being accomplished as we speak; some rebuilding of real, not virtual, relations among people of like minds, and also what Spartacus and Huxley and Sharon and several other newcomers here have been doing.
The problem with that broad and admittedly undetailed plan is, is that it is possible to see success even before an emotionally satisfying Armageddon can occur.
Like the kid who plans to deal with bullies by building himself up and learning to fight effectively and then discovers that the bullies have faded away before he has even finished his program, we may find victory falls in our lap once we have militantly adjusted our own lives and focus in order to achieve it.

As for Spartacus, last time I checked, he thought a fake news shill label like QAnon was working with Antifa.
Not sure that exactly qualifies as unpanicked.

Considering the treatment meted out to the Guard by the Democrats, the longer they stay deployed, the more will go home to vote Republican.

‘Packed us together like sardines’: Guard deployed to Capitol struggles to contain Covid
Hundreds of Guard members who poured into Washington after the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol have tested positive for Covid-19 or are quarantining in nearby hotels.
I can trigger the MK Ultra conditioning pretty easily. All one has to do is to mention the letter Q.
Now watch.
Q is….?
There are a number of anomalies at the J20th event that shows that Red/Blue dual governments are installed.
1. T Red took the nuke football with him to Florida. Can’t let Kama have the real goodies.
2. No military or government plane/escort for Kama. Cause they ain’t legit.
3. National Guard turned their backs on Presidential motorcade. That people already saw.
4. Jill Blue ‘s handshake was ignored.
5. No insignia on the guards during the j20th event. Military insignia was visibly present during Bush II and Trump’s inaug.
6. Pentagon blocked intel access to Blue Kama’s request for military operations in Afghanistan. Other things including Saudi Arabia’s military deals.
7. Blank Presidential Executive Orders being signed on camera.
Just some strange anomalies for you anons to think about.
My analysis is that China, Blue, and the UN are just waiting for some type of “violent problem” in the US relating to elections.
Remember when people thought T Red was playing multi dimensional chess? Welcome to the chess match, pieces.
Pelosi requested “crew-manned machine guns” – a sharp contrast between how she reacted when President Donald Trump wanted to use the military to deal with the violence from nationwide Black Lives Matter protests.
https://cnsnews.com/index.php/article/washington/melanie-arter/acting-dhs-deputy-secretary-pelosi-wanted-crew-manned-machine-guns
Yammer triggered his biggest LOL in all his years of analysis. Truly a comedic genius. His delusions are just a ruse.
But QAnon still kills and
Ashli Babbitt is still dead.
Just reading about all of this – Pelosi demanding the military deploy soldiers with machine guns – while encouraging and promoting months of rioting, looting, burning and destruction that affected ONLY the non-ruling class folks- sure raises questions about who she and other ruling elites actually represent.
It sure as hell is not the average citizen.
It makes one think that those that assaulted the Capitol (the 100 or 200 provocateurs, ANTIFA types, etc., amongst the many thousands of peaceful demonstrators) should have been far, far more successful in their endeavors; to the point of leaving every street light-post within a 10 block radius of the Capitol “occupied” with a ………you know what I mean.
And just yesterday, John Kerry – an individual who accidently shot himself in Vietnam and then insisted !!! upon receiving a Purple Heart – suggested that all those workers who have and will lose their jobs in the oil/gas industry should just get jobs building solar panels.
Does anyone wonder anymore why the Bastille was stormed (which unfortunately led to the Great Terror)?
I can easily think of 15 individuals, for starters, that deserve to have their kopfs placed in the chopper.
“Much of the electorate is simply not serious.”
Um, no, that’s not the case. Simply because actually, they are serious. Very serious.
(Serious enough, at least, to give DJT the MOST number of legitimate presidential votes in American history.)
One could definitely, say thought, that the Democrats are more serious. Far more: it’s the reason why the Democrats HAD to steal the election.
(They knew they couldn’t blow it like they blew it in 2016. And wouldn’t you know it, it turns out that the Russia Hoax wasn’t enough: 24/7 non-stop lies, slander and deception by the Democrats and its MSCM thugs wasn’t enough; the economic, social and physical devastation caused by COVID wasn’t enough. They, whom most Americans KNEW HAD to be kept from power, HAD to steal the election. And they found THE WAY to do it: The epitome of “INSURANCE”.)
And it’s precisely the reason why those same thugs and gangsters HAVE TO continue to push the “Deplorable-Trump-Supporters-Are-Now-Out-And-Out-Rebels” hysteria.
Push the lie. Push the slander. Turn back your own guilt on those you wish to destroy BIG TIME.
Follow that Stalinist cookbook to a T.
Because the Democrats KNOW what they did.
And they KNOW that a lot of others KNOW what they did.
So if they wish to remain in power FOREVER, and they do, it’s time to LIQUIDATE their opponents either emotionally, economically, spiritually—think Michael Flynn and those other lesser knowns who were actually destroyed by the Obama/Biden/Brennan/Clapper/Rice/Comey STASI—or, as MUST eventually become the case, physically.
(Oh, don’t worry. It’ll all be “Constitutional”. Because they LOVE America. And they RESPECT—OH so deeply!—the Constitution….)
…Sounds pretty horrific…and it is, probably beyond anyone’s wildest nightmares….
And it’s small solace—very small—to note that it’s:
FOR THE COMMON WEAL.
FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.
FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD.
FOR THE GOOD OF OUR PLANET.
And because “Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia”….
This recommended video on naked short selling by Patrick Byrne was interesting. Thanks Y.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdBe5_8z53A&feature=emb_logo
If anyone is interested and not up to speed on naked short selling, you might want to start by reading this link at Investopedia.
They say that naked short selling is now illegal, unlike before the credit crisis in 2008. Byrne maybe suggests that it is still legal within the 3 day trade settlement period (not sure). In any case, it appears that there is not currently meaningful enforcement and punishment from the regulators.
The current enforcement, such as it is, appears to be that the SEC publishes the Regulation SHO List. It’s a list of companies who’s trading share count is completely out of whack. Possibly to some extent, this list is an invitation to opportunistic traders, like r/WallStreetBets, to punish investors who created millions of fictitious shares in the first place.
I now believe that I was wrong previously to suggest that TDAmeritrade halting trading in these shares was a good thing. The SEC and exchanges should require rigorous limit-down and limit-up trading stoppages, on an individual stock basis.
And just yesterday, John Kerry – an individual who accidently shot himself in Vietnam and then insisted !!! upon receiving a Purple Heart
He was never shot.
He received 3 purple hearts, all for minor bits of shrapnel embedded in him. The worst landed him in the infirmary for a day and a half. The first of these, for which the purple heart was awarded after some delay, occurred after an incident in which the minor wound in question was likely generated by the action of Kerry’s own weapon.
Kerry actually was a combat veteran. That’s enough, or would be except (1) most of the commanders who served with him didn’t have an agreeable opinion of him (and had complaints of a similar sort to those who had known Kerry in other venues; (2) while those under him thought well of him, the man who served under him the longest did not; (3) some of his war stories were demonstrable fabrications (Christmas in Cambodia); he’d been complicit in other fabrications (“Winter Soldier”) and (5) his entire public life had been constructed on the foundation of his VietNam service.
There was an element of this last in Robert Dole’s career and John McCain’s career. In Dole’s case, the differences are as follows: (1) reporters wrote about Dole’s experience unbidden (see Hendrik Hertzberg on this point) because the first thing that hits you about Dole is that his body is quite asymmetrical (and he cannot use his right arm), (2) his pitch after 195x did not give his veteran status top billing (Pete duPont in 1988: “for George Bush it’s his resume; for Bob Dole it’s his record”), (3) AFAIK, Dole didn’t make use of platoon buddies as campaign props. In McCain’s case, (1) the Navy was his life until age 44. Extra attention to this in his biography is understandable (I attended a speech by McCain in 2000; the only reference he made was to his class standing at Annapolis – bottom 2%), (2) his particular story is quite poignant, so reporters write about it, (3) his physical impairments are obtrusive enough for reporters to notice (he cannot type, raise his arms above lateral, or tie a necktie), and (4) no campaign props from his 22 years on active duty.
“…Sounds pretty horrific…and it is, probably beyond anyone’s wildest nightmares….”
Heheh. Let me tell you about a few things that will really give you nightmares.
The current enforcement, such as it is, appears to be that the SEC publishes the Regulation SHO List. It’s a list of companies who’s trading share count is completely out of whack. Possibly to some extent, this list is an invitation to opportunistic traders, like r/WallStreetBets, to punish investors who created millions of fictitious shares in the first place.
Right, there is more going on than stock trading and short selling. There’s some type of SEC corruption and Dark State stuff as usual.
It is related to why Congress insider trading is ok.
As I wrote on instapundit, naked short selling is part of the “pump and dump” strategy used for penny/OTC stocks. Meaning, it is just a micro version of the “more millionares during a great depression” economic redistribution.
In the macro, people before the fiat currency blew up inflation, bought real estate and precious metals. Then when the money went dead flat or to the moon, people were selling precious jewels and real estate for pennies on the dollar. What used to cost millions or billions, could be bought up cheap, because the people who knew about the crash (or caused it) had assets ready.
So pumping up a stock and then selling everything, would be like Enron or pyramid schemes.
But there’s another way to do the sme thing, except going down hill. You take a company that you want to hurt or take over, hostile takeover style, such as Overstock, and you mess with their stock prices. Then when the stock is downtrending over a few weeks, you put up news attacking the fundamentals of the stock, which drives it further Down. You keep doing this over a number of quarter,s then when Overstock hits 45 dollars, you immediately buy up all the open stocks, reverse the fake news narrative, and conduct your own super short squeeze on the short sellers that are caught unawares.
It is like Sun Tzu in stock trading.
Overstock thus jumped from 45 USD to 90 USD. Do you think a hedge funding doubling their 500 million “investment” is worth the risk? Sure it is. Double your money in 3 days, and make lots more the 300 days before.
Gamestop jumped from a 5-15 USD stock to 400 USD today, pre market. It dropped down to 221 USD in morning hours trading EST (hot hour super hour, where more volume is traded compared to rest of the day).
Double your money in less than one hour? Oh yes. With margin trading, that would not be double but 3x or 4x your money if you borrow with zero day interest.
Oh Right: Nightmares.
So the thing about the Corona bioweapon is that it is very useful for an operation I call “livestock culling”. You see, the problem with humanity is that there are too many of you, so we are going to cull some of you off. As there are too many of you to begin with, we can’t do this with bullets or orthodox methods. We have to get the cattle to kill themselves. A Judas goat will work to lead them all to the slaughter.
So what is happening is that placebos are being given out, to make sure that the fatalities are only a few dozen deaths in an hour. As 70-90% are placebos. Then when the full wax is taken by a population that sees the JUDAS GOAT happily walking on top the truck, the full wax dose is given. And succeeding doses will finish the job.
That’s because it is obvious what humanity will demand if there is a “pandemic”. A waxxine or a cure, right? Don’t let a crisis go to waste 101.
If the first dose won’t kill you, the second one can. And if the second one can’t… well, there’s something called adverse reactions when a person is reinfected with Corona virs after a wax immune response. So you take the wax, you get an immune antibody reaction response, things calm down, and you get reinfected.
Do you know what happened with all the past corona waxines that couldn’t pass animal trials?
The animals died 90-100% after second infection.
Okay, humanity, now go to sleep.
So back to stocks, it was 410-450 USD ish in the early morning hour trading. It dropped at 9:30 to 10:00, and it went back up to 400 ish in 10:30.
Yesterday, it was below the 200 line, or roudn tehre abouts.
So with normal stock buying and then shorting same day, you could ride the wave both up and down.
What hedge funds do is a little bit more clever. It’s a game they play about which stock they can tank the hardest, make the most profit on, and then buy up the stock at super cheap values and wait as the money of slaves make them richer.
And it works. It has worked for so long, the slaves thought it was a good thing. 2020 has given people “clear vision” momentarily.
Barry Meislin, I think you’re confounding the dispositions of professional Democrats, the media, and the tech companies on the one hand with rank-and-file Democrats on the other. I correspond with rank-and-file Democrats, many of whom are relatives. If they’re serious people, it’s never in the civic sphere. The leftoids who show up here are a ratchet or two more sophisticated.
Yammer’s delusions/comedy, hard to tell which from post to post, now extend to the CCP virus and vaccination. Culling “humans” indeed. We should be seeing the bodies stacking up in the morgues based on his wisdom and predictive skilz. Right, just another one of those things “he’s got covered.” Based on Yammer’s wisdom I should start aggangements for my wife’s funeral (she got her second vaccination Monday) and get my will tidied up for execution in late March. Otay, Not-So- Dammus.
His comments can start off sane but almost always fall into the delusion/comedy gutter.
Well, no clown is funny all the time.
Also, Overstock is not overpriced, it has been short sold (just like TEsla) into the 45-55 USD territory. Meanwhile the analyst is actually 70 at the low/average line and 130, I think, at the high line.
The reason why it is not over priced at 90 even, is because it uses “shared ledger block chain tech”. It is the purest stock that specializes in block chain ledger technology, which will be used to hash and verify transactions that is more important than crypto money.
Bank transactions, contractual agreements, and yes even “short selling stocks”.
Financial fraud exists because people don’t know what is going on at both ends of the pipe. With block chain ledger technology, it can be made to be 100% secure/private/transparent.
So even if crypto ends up being erased by regulations, blockchain will still be here.
Somebody finally figured this out and the stock broke past the short sellers.
People remember back when Tesla was dunking into the 150 USD range and below, as if they thought the company was going to go to zero. It would go up a bit, then go down a lot. Go up a bit, then down a lot. Easy for short sellers to make money that way.
But astrological predictions and financial advisers did sometimes realize that Tesla had a golden future, because it was a tech growth stock and not a car making stock.
It went to 2000 USD in a short time. Then the stock split, and 200 USD went to 400+ USD. The only reason why it is that fast is because of short sellers. They shorted the stock and made it go down for years. They waited until all the mom and pops had to “sell” because of one reason or another, then BOUGHT IT ALL UP.
Wealth redistribution. That’s how they work in great depressions .They cause the crash, the economic reset, meanwhile Jeff Bezos and Microsoft’s former board guy, is one of the biggest land owners in America.
WHat’s the land for? Server farms? No, actual farming.
When your fiat currency can’t buy you toilet paper, that farming land will be worth a lot more than face value.
Humans don’t know half the conspiracies going on in this world.
They just don’t. Be happy in your ignorance. Just seeing a few percent in 2020 is not enough. You need to become awake to the Great Awakening and see even more. But I think many will lose it before they get to the light at the end of the tunnel.
Then when you get to the light at the end of the tunnel you find… a portal to hell. Isn’t this world amazing in plot twists?

Let’s not forget that McCain got the Senate to reject Vietnam’s offer of ransom for the missing POWs.

thanks for the correction.
Your more accurate description of his wartime experience confirms that, indeed, he is an arrogant, elitist , two faced, deceitful, lying POS.
Just hope that one day he finds a suitable street light post to occupy.
Yammer lives in the hell of his own making. A sad clown.

What makes you think Pelosi et al don’t know from machine guns? I suspect they are pretty confident that, no matter how much blood is shed, their voters will eagerly buy the accusations that these were murderous right-wing gang members.
There’s a kind of transference–Neo, not sure it’s the right word–in that the worse the dem power structure is, the less and less I want to have anything to do with dem-leaning acquaintances and relations.
Those I know best would, I am sure, have no problem with a slaughter in DC or elsewhere if it’s properly described by the dem power structure. I may be exaggerating, but I can picture a defiant jut of the chin and something about….deserving it….should have known….protect our democracy….
Recently, a pastor in our church raised up in prayer the trauma suffered by the cops in DC on Jan 6. Never, over months, any concern for the countless victims of riots, or the cops injured.
