If you are living under a rock or watching the brain dead idiots at Fox news discussing the many evils of Obamacare, Egypt has gone full Mad Max right now, killing people live on tv. Apparently, the pro Mubarak operatives are on the receiving end of extreme mob justice. It’s obvious that the government sent these morons out to start trouble. I believe they made a grave miscalculation. Instead of a docile, “please leave now crowd,” now Mubarak has a “fuck you, we’re going to burn this country down to the ground” mob, demanding his removal and likely his head. All eyes on the Suez Canal.
U.S. futures are dipping, but nothing dramatic. Gold and oil are climbing and should continue to do well, as this shit hits the fan.
The age of revolution has arrived. Today in Cairo, tomorrow in Washington D.C.
As an aside, I must deride the clowns over at Fox News for their lack of coverage. Where the fuck is Geraldo Rivera when you need him? Whose wise idea was it to forgo live, on the ground, coverage in exchange for typical Hannity/O’Reilly horseshit? Say what you want about MSNBC. But those fuckers boss’d up here with their live coverage. May they steal millions of viewers from the dick-suckers at Fox News, much to the chagrin of devout fan and viewer, Senator Gint.

“Mad Max”
that shit was pretty funny… sooooo much dead air the words left his mouth
watching fox news makes you stupid. it is true:
http://www.alternet.org/media/149193/study_confirms_that_fox_news_makes_you_stupid/
Unfortunately the researchers made one grave miscalculation – the majority of fox viewers do not read
Most Fox viewers leave it to you cogs to go blind on day-to-day detail (getting emotional, cynical and ape). ;p Don’t forget who pays the real taxes either you unappreciative “Asshats” (credit LeFly).
Thank you for proving my point, indeud.
I remain indifferent, as you missed mine (as was anticipated). As JG says: “fodder for leftist morons”.
When do you expect Americans to take to the streets, or will that take the collapse of a staple institution like McDonalds?
Now THAT was funny, Well done.
You keep picking winners, I’ll keep wisecracking.
Crazy ass shit going on in Egypt tonight!
if you watch both the streams at the same time shit really starts getting crazy
LMAO
“top right part of the site (retards). All you need to do is click play.”
Your too much Fly, love it.
You mean, “you’re”
Step your grammar game up when you come here.
If Pres Bush was still around we would have gone shock and awe by now.
This shit would not have happened under Bush. Obama is a fucking imbecile.
Unanimous decision.
Am I the only one who can’t figure out which side is which? How can the people throwing fire bombs even know who is pro government and who are anti government?
I don’t think they care anymore.
Seriously, WTF would have George done that would have made this different? You see a revolution in a country against a dictator that has been in power for 30 years oppressing his people and……it’s Obama’s fault!? Huh?
The people on the higher ground are Pro Mubarek. The people on the ground are Anti. The Antis are sort being contained inside the square on the low ground.
Ummmm…..ok.
I don’t think they are being “contained”. I think they blocked themselves in and are staying until the big dog leaves office…or these plain clothed police officers kill them. Five reported dead already.
they are waiting for reinforcements but to their surprise nobody is being let into the square once they leave … a diminishing mob by govt design.
attack Abu Dhabi ?
He might not have driven food prices so high through reckless spending (clearly a debatable assumption).
What can you say, the world is fucked… While O’bama praises the violent protests in Egypt and bashes the tea party, he supports the Egypt protesters who will no doubt have their Sharia law installed, but he did not stand behind the Iranian protesters last year who just wanted more Western style freedom out from under Mad Man Ahmadinajed. Soon Egypt will have Sharia law, or close to it… Jordan may not be far behind and Israel will be attacked from all sides, and the inevitable day will come that one of these groups gets material for a dirty bomb. Sad but true. Obama is the worst thing that happened to this country while he placates to our enemies and distances us from our allies. Hey – he did promise change! Max out your credit cards, and why bother using condoms? The 13th Iman is on his way… either those maniacs will get you or Al Gore Presents: Global Warming will. Theres no hiding from it… in the mean time… lets bank some coin to enjoy these last days!
Fucking idiots.

Hey now, let’s give credit where credit is due… Bush appointed the Bernanke, not Obama

Regarding that BORN guy that goes to China to do on the ground research…Fly, I got all excited when I read that he did detailed research on China Companies cuz you know I follow China down to their billets.Anyway, I did a little research on GeoTeam and Majred Soueidan to see what kind of Junkies they are, cuz you know I love a junkie. Anyway, looking at their analysis from Sept 2009 on a penny stock, I am not impressed…stock was .35ish, now .06, they own shopping malls in China….. http://www.chinavestor.com/component/content/70955.html?task=view
China Growth Development, Inc. (CGDI), is the largest investor, owner and manager of commercial real estate in the capital city of Taiyuan, located in the Shanxi Province of southern China. They owns and manages 4,200 commercial units within its six malls.
lol, “they owns”, I have to proof read…anyway, reading their link I would have no idea it was just a Mall Owner renting out shops…and they didn’t even say who rents them and why? Are they swap meets? You figure, with only six malls there is like 600 stores/vendors at each location.
I love it. 13 th iman and shit, nice work.
Bush was a joke, fucker was funny to listen to. Obama is a sic joke. You have no ah face ah, as my friends in China would say. No wonder they and the rest of the world wanted him elected. haha, they can run amuck doing all sorts of nonsense. Yes, Bush sounded like a fool, his speeches are much like my grammer.
Whats even better I’m sitting her watching gas land before bed.

Never go full retard
beat me to it….
sorry, my point being even though Bush didnt come off bright at all, nobody was pulling bullshit on him. He wouldnt have it. You couldnt out do him cuz he would allow you that option.

Ummmm, yeah, tell that to the 3,000+ souls…….c’mon people, u can’t be serious
At least Anderson Cooper got a piece of Fight Club action:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/anderson-cooper-attacked-mob-egypt-95628
That video is weak sauce. If I watch a video titled “Anderson Cooper attacked; hit in the face,” it’s because I want to watch Anderson Cooper get hit in the face.
Not one good angle. Nothing good has come from this violence…
Nice job throwing fodder to the leftist morons.
Bravo.

Ever see the picture of Obama when he went to Russia to meet and shake hands with the political chiefs? Each and every one of them just stared at him, not offering their hands. You see, the worlds bullies have Obama pegged, a man with no street smarts, no moral obligation to defend the world against despots, a weak, insignificant, unsophisticated man. An empty suit. So for the next two years it will only get worse.
One thing about Bush whether you agreed with him or not, he did what he said he was going to do, with no equivocation.
The superior person is multi-perspectived and not one-sided. The inferior person is one-sided and not multi-perspectived.
The absolutism in such a ridiculously pat phrasing reflects a one-sided inferiority.
Ironic, no?
Sometimes equivoction reflects weakness and/or lack of character. We don’t need “multi-perspectived” quails in the executive position of the world’s remaining superpower and #1 economy. Decisions have to actually be taken — and moreover, believed.

Sorry Alvari, but you can be multi-perspectived and still make a decision. Obama has definitely been waffling big time in his foreign policy, which has certainly emboldened a number of groups in that region.
That being said, Egypt also has some problems, like a young, starving, poor, and extremely pissed off population, which may be such an issue that this would have occured even under Bush…or anyone for that matter.
Gold is down. If you check futures they are telling you the price from the pit close @ 2:30 no the stock market close.
I was also wondering if you could have movie night instead of CNN sometime. Maybe wall street 2.
Oh, sorry. I was blogging from the future. You are looking at NOW prices.
Please no left vs right discussion as the great pyramids at Giza are imperilled.
Damn straight. Left and right do not matter. All that matters is up and down (market direction).
And you are the man when it comes to up market – esp yesterday. I’m still jealous.
Dictators are good, Jihadists are bad, when it comes to these Muslim shithole countries. The U.S. pays these dictators in gold and arms to keep the jihadis suppressed. Obama apparently didn’t get the memo, or just chose to ignore it. Either way, he is handling this whole crisis within the framework of his agenda of “change”. Sorry, but some things shouldn’t change, Idiot.
(laughter) oppression is sweet when done to the guy who would kill your family.
Here here Fly
Couldn’t agree more. Hannity is a fucking stooge and I used to be a Republican. Rome is burning and our parties can’t stop fighting about retarded issues that should be on the back burner right now.
Take it all in when you watch Egypt. We will see a repeat here in a few years. This country has lost it.
If you’re right there is nothing more important than being right …
Right, the destruction of one sixth of the economy — and our singular competitive advantage — is a “back burner issue.”
So you “used to be a Republican” and then what? You were hit with a brick, months in a coma, never the same, yada yada?
___________
Right, the destruction of one sixth of the economy — and our singular competitive advantage — is a “back burner issue.”
I assume you are talking about how the economy has gone from 2000 to the present. Obama was handed a pretty big steaming pile.
I would be interested in hearing how the USA is going to pay back its huge debt. The tax cut method doesn’t seem to be working so well. Ireland is showing us the end game of that “economic theory”.
Perhaps all those people who say they love their country so much should pony up and starting supporting it in a more meaningful way then just ranting. They want their country to remain an industrial superpower, fine, then shut up and pay for it.
OK, that’s not going to happen, so there is no choice but to inflate it away, which Bernanke is desperately trying to get started. If only the Chinese would play ball by revaluing the yuan. You’d think double digit food and fuel price increases would be a good start but the for some reason the dollar is stubbornly refusing to get weak. One thing for sure, once inflation starts it will go much faster than anyone can foresee.
I think that is the reason why the market seems so frothy. Bonds and cash are a bad place to be right now. You need to own stuff, real estate, stock, anything, to protect yourself. You just don’t want to own dollars.
I don’t know about you guys but I think it would be pretty cool to ride around on a camel waving a sword like a warrior
these events have given me a new found respect for that animal
Have you ever wondered if there was a economic crash 1000’s of years ago in Egypt. THEN the reserve bank of EGYPT came up with a stimulus plan and built the pyramids to create jobs.
Caliphate Bernanke?
But seriously, who gives a rats what those idiots are up to. When I saw the camel races in the square I knew it was time to turn this shit off as it doesn’t matter.
A classic!

Fascism in America? The ultimate Corporate crony … good story but more leftist fodder per Senator Gint.
“It’s hard to imagine that in all of American political history there has been a more unlikely marriage than John Boehner and the pitchfork-wielding, incumbent-eating Tea Party, whose blood ostensibly boils at the thought of business as usual. Because John Boehner is business as usual, a man devoted almost exclusively to ensuring his own political survival by tending faithfully to the corrupt and clanking Beltway machinery. How? Let us count the ways.” ……… and yes the article does count the ways!
Sold out working class families, some his own …. that guilt explains his emotional outbursts … another kettle calling the pot black hypocrite …
Again, if you don’t recognize that overbearing government interference and regulation on the economy (viz, Obamacare) leads directly to a fascist economic structure as smaller entreprenurial businesses are increasingly unable to compete with those behemoths who can afford high priced legal and lobbying aides, well, you an Taibbi need to just attend Saint Francis University and stop embarrassing yourselves.
If you care about “the little guy” you do not want thing runs from Washington DC, to which you Dems are committed.
_______________________
Such as Egypt where they have no redistribution of wealth, dictators, corruption and unemployment/poverty … Boehner is not an upgrade from Pelosi, more of the same … call a spade a spade for heavens sake Senator. Stop pitting one side against the other and fix the damn problem … Lobbyists and the corporate spending that you argued in favor of so much under the 1st amendment … you can’t have it both ways!
Aside: FRG, Newmont bought my fav gold holding
Funny, when I woke up this morning I was thinking the exact same thing while watching FoX News cover the iPad Daily or whatever that shit was!! I kept clicking back to Fox in utter amazement that they weren’t covering history in the making! It felt like the CNN of old!! Murdoch and his stupid apple app can go suck balls! CNN and msnbc just hit the jack pot as the beast was sleeping at the wheel!
Imagine, all it would take is a kid standing on the bank of the Suez to throw a rock at a cargo ship and coked out fund managers would gap oil right to $200
so does anyone have any contacts in the middle east?
Copper hit 10,000 tonne tonight. OK one source holds over 40% plus of LME Copper, JPMorgan is the gossip source…and one source holds 40% of the March Puts, one huge bet if they are wrong…so explain to me again why this is not a bubble?
Economists forget that new copper mines are harder to find, are lower grade, cost more to put into operation, are more remote, displace more villagers, have a shorter mine life (average now ~20 years), and the world population continues to increase, including demand for electricity (copper). Stockpiling at these structurally low prices is just plain prudent.
ahhh, all of that was known if 2009 when Copper was pricing BELOW the cost to mine it…Peak Copper Theory too….darn stupid bubble.
If only I could be there with my Ninja powers to save my beloved Hala Gorani!
Oh sure, maybe it’s a little senseless to be walking around Tahrir Square in the middle of a rioting mob, but it’s her job dammit. It’s the only way to build her Amanpour cred.

Everyone talking about what country is next…Saudis, Jordan, Yemen…I just want to see them go after Muammar Gaddafi in Libya – that will be some real fun to watch – although we haven’t heard much from him since 1986 when those F-111s did that little flyover.
And anyone thinking this shit is going to happen in the US soon – don’t hold your breath – we’re still re-electing 90% of Congress – there won’t be a revolution like Egypt in our lifetime – and that includes any 2 year olds on the site.
Libya army is totally cool with using much more force. If there is a revolution there, it will be extremely short lived. And extremely ugly.
my EUR/USD short from yest is paying me off like Mubarak is paying for camels.
Bearded Clam speaking at 1:00pm – buy the dip
Tomorrow’s a Friday – buy the dip
Merger Monday and Mutual Fund Monday – buy the dip
There is your trading setup for the next 3 days.
So it will be a clam dip at 1:00PM?
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Dip it to the pearl.
USD shorts getting fucked now – stupid trade to play into this crazy shit…
big big volume in EUR selloff!
Mubarak breaks it down for you – camel men were just “pissed off tour guides from the pyramids”. He didn’t do that shit.
awful to use the expression full retard when you know that it insults people with disabilities.
It insults actors who try to pretend “full disabilities”.
