Chaos, Live and in Color

I am mesmerized, watching Al Jazeera from my iPad. The pro-government fuckers are beating the shit out of the anti-government protesters. It is official: their bullshit revolution has decidedly taken a turn for the worse and now may spiral into civil unrest. Dare I say, they need muskets and small grenades. That country is on the brink of total and complete chaos, just like the stuff I read about in Tale of Two Cities.

Expect guillotines to make an appearance shortly.

Much to my delight, the market doesn’t give a shit. My positions are edging higher, as I am heavily long commodity related stocks. I like silver, ag and Chinese whiskey. Call me old fashioned.

You have to watch this shit unfold, here.

NOTE: Liberal journalists are BESIDES themselves, as the peaceful kumbaya style protests are now over.

    Crude is ready to eat a baby. Post-tax-season restocking is a minor annoyance on the way to $95.

    On a lighter note, your source of news matters:

    DRUDGE REPORT HEADLINE:
    “Mubarak backers charge camels towards square…”

    AL JAZEERA HEADLINE:
    Pro-government supporters on horses and one camel entered the square…”

    Come on Drudge, just use the words “sand nigger” in the next refresh.

      You really can’t trust Matt. He sticks his thingy in David Rockefeller’s withered cornhole every now and then.

    Anderson Cooper took a few “head” shots, and they also punched him in the face.

    I too have been watching Al Jazeera.
    Can’t tell the difference between them CBS,CNN,ABC, etc.
    They all have the same narrative about this being a “democracy” movement and it is all rainbows, unicorns, and gold.
    Funny useful idiots.
    Fly has an iPad?
    Fancy.

      Whatever side Obama backs is the side of sweet loving compassionate candy-coated goodness. The other side is the axis of Beelzebub and they deserve instant death, immediate cremation, and ashes scattered in an unknown location.

      Problem is, all those third-world Egyptians look the same. Same colors, same hair, same skin color, same everything.

      The CIA needs to go in there and do a proper propaganda effort and clothe their pseudo-democracy-humping brainwashed demonstrators in colored T-shirts. How about bright flourescent pink?

    Which side is against the international central banker/World Bank/IMF/BIS God complex? It’s kind of confusing… being serious here.

      I’ve been wondering the same thing. It isn’t obvious.

        In this case, I think that Occams razor suggests that people are just pissed off because they can’t afford food. Which would imply that the protestors are genuine. Confused though they may (or may not) be.

      Men living on $2 per day do not give a fuck about any of those organizations. This is a struggle for human rights against an oppressive autocrat.

        Can’t the CIA put the side our tax dollars are backing in a specific color — say bright yellow T-shirts?

    hanks for that Fly…

    I’m watching disaster in stereo now… the Queensland hurricane and the rock throwing in Egypt. That place is really another world. Pro government side was attacking the antis riding on horseback and on camels into the crowd. On fucking camels!.

    Can’t we all get along? Off to race in the Camel Derby at Riyadh Downs. Beats hanging around the goat herders in Cairo.

      The black chick with the limey accent is really cute. I never would have thought they’d have females on that channel… how avant garde of them.

    I wonder what the market would be doing today without all of this Camel drama?

    ADP: Job Gain at 187,000; Planned Layoffs Lowest Ever

    Buy the dip, or the crater, whichever.

    Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring on other sites?
    I have a blog based upon on the same information you discuss and would really like
    to have you share some stories/information.
    I know my audience would enjoy your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e mail.
