Spicer Skewers Media For Defending Dr. Farkas, Calls Her Public Admissions of Collecting Intelligence on Trump ‘Devastating’

In today’s press conference at the White House, Sean Spicer shifted the conversation away from the nothing-burger of who told Chairman Nunes about the Trump team being surveilled by the Obama administration to the public comments made by Dr. Farkas — the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense specializing in Russia, who said “get as much information as you can” to persons inside the intelligence apparatus — for the purposes of preserving intel on the Trump team in an effort to hide it from the incoming administration.

Spicer called her comments alone ‘devasting’ and posited the notion that had the media been treating the Trump administration fairly, they’d be more concerned with the intelligence leaks coming out of the Obama administration — surveilling Trump and his team — for reasons that are, indelibly, unclear.

Furthermore, he mentioned Hillary Clinton’s paid speaking fees from Russia, selling off 1/5th of America’s uranium supplies, and receiving personal phone calls from Vladimir Putin as actual legitimate Russian connections that should raise an eyebrow. In terms of Obama officials admitting to surveilling and safe keeping intelligence on the Trump team, Spicer thinks there was an attempt to do something that was politically motivated and should be investigated.

Immediately following Dr. Farkas’ comments were made on the Morning Joe show, revealing that the Obama administration had been surveilling the Trump team, the notion of how she might’ve come into contact with Trump team intelligence, after she had resigned from the pentagon, became a topic of discussion — which the media didn’t seem to grasp today with Spicer.

Here’s Spicer chastising the media for defending Dr. Farkas, instead of asking her questions as to how she had access to Trump intelligence, post resignation, and why she spread classified information in an effort to conceal it from the incoming administration.

Bradley Moss, an attorney who specializes in national security law, tweeted his dismay that Dr. Farkas’ public comments had become a topic of discussion, saying “OMG, yadda, yadda, yadda.” This is all a big inconvienence for those who’d rather spend their time mocking the President for alleging that Obama had, in fact, ordered ‘wiretapping’ done on him and his team. It’s even more troubling for them to learn, after the fact, that everything the President said was true.

OMG this @EvelynNFarkas thing as evidence of a conspiracy needs to come to an end already.

— Bradley P. Moss, Esq (@BradMossEsq) March 31, 2017

Nevertheless, Dr. Farkas agreed with Moss, tweeting ‘Amen Brother. Who benefits from this fake news? R-U-S-S-I-A.’

Amen, Brother. Who benefits from this fake news? R-U – S – S – I –A. @hardball https://t.co/uewhz3PW8q

Using her logic, anything that doesn’t impugn the character of the President of the United States, any defense for the rule of law as it pertains to the illegal transfer of classified documents and unmasking of persons, is, in fact, aiding and abetting the Russian government. In other words, she believes, arrogantly, that she is above the law — because she’s fighting the good fight against Mother Russia — defeating it for a second time in a renewed cold war.

Unreal.

Year to date, the Dow is higher by 4.8%, S&P 500 +6% and the fag-heavy Nasdaq +10%. The top 5 performing sectors were Home Improvement stores ($BLDR, $LL, $LOW, $HD), Nuclear ($URRE, $UUUU, $UEC, $URG), Aluminum ($AA, $CENX), Semi Equipment ($AEHR, $LPTH, $COHU, $BRKS) and Hospitals ($CYH, $JYNT, $SSY, $THC)

The losers were Department Stores ($BONT, $JCP, $KSS, $SHOS), Oil and Gas Drillers ($NADL, $PACD, $PES, $BBG), Apparel Stores ($SMRT, $SSI, $CBK, $ASNA), Home Furnishing ($TPX, $FLXS, $HOFT, $ETH), Pollution and Treatment Controls ($CECE, $ERII, $HCCI, $FTEK).

The great thing about Presidential elections is the predictability of the policies and how they might affect share prices.

Take, for example, $PRSC. This is literally a play on American welfare and entitlements.

The Providence Service Corporation, through its subsidiaries, provides critical healthcare and workforce development services in the United States and internationally. It operates through three segments: Non-Emergency Transportation Services (NET Services), Workforce Development Services (WD Services), and Health Assessment Services (HA Services). The NET Services segment offers covered healthcare related transportation services for individuals with limited mobility and/or people with financial resources that hinder them from accessing necessary healthcare and social services. The WD Services segment offers workforce development and offender rehabilitation services, including employment preparation and placement, apprenticeship and training, and other health related services comprising employee assistance programs for unemployed, disabled, and unskilled individuals, as well as individuals coping with medical illnesses. The HA Services segment provides care optimization and delivery solutions, including comprehensive health assessments, as well as in-home and community-based care management offerings. The company was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona.

When Obama took office, the share price was under $2. By the end of his term, it was north of $50. I found the stock during Obama’s second term, when it was $15. Regrettably, I never held my position long enough to benefit from their growth.

On the currency side, Bitcoins rose by 10% and the Mexican peso by 10% — recovering some the losses it endured during the American elections.

Lumber is up 20%, Palladium +16% and Lead +16%, while Orange juice dropped by 20%, Natural Gas by 14% and Sugar by 14%.

Going forward, providing Trump isn’t impeached and removed from office, expect more of the same — bullish on infrastructure, commodities and nuclear, while bearish on retail, big pharma, and anything environmental.

Hat tip to the Senator, former ibc blogger Jakegint, for sending this to me. It’s perfect.

Often times people challenge me as to why I voted for Trump, puzzled by my decision to eschew establishment shilling which has treated me so fairly over my Wall Street career. After all, I’m on record here saying, on more than one occasion, that I supported status quo and wanted everything to remain as it was.

When Trump first announced his candidacy, I thought it was a joke. Then he started to grow on me, as his seriousness on issues that should matter to me, but didn’t at the time, was experessed in a way that I never heard before.

I grew up in a blue collared household, but had enjoyed success since my early 20s. Although I’m able to relate to all people, from any background, due to my life experience, I’ve always preferred to be around people with money. That’s just an honest truth.

The Trump movement doesn’t die with Trump. It was the redpill that was swallowed by tens of millions that will only grow in its ferocity, especially after seeing main stream media, political establishment, and intelligence agencies react so negatively to the will of the angry American people — discarding our votes as nothing more than the subsequent result of Russian hacking.

Watch Tucker Carlson describe this movement and how it arrested him, changing his views on politics forever.

This is probably part of a top secret CIA shadow finance project, cloaked by the whimsicality of a seemingly brainless trading strategy which stands to capitalize on a Trump presidency ending.

Seriously, I have no other rational explanation for the story you’re about to read, about an anonymous trader delving into the VIX market to buy millions of dollars worth of contracts — all at the specified price of 50 cents. The strike or the duration is unimportant, just as long as the contract is trading at 0.50.

What in the actual fuck.

Source: CNBC

What’s most notable is that even after losing some $75 million by betting on a volatility spike, the huge options buyer known as “50 Cent” shows no signs of slowing down.

“I would categorize them as someone who doesn’t flinch at losing money,” commented Pravit Chintawongvanich, head of risk strategy at Macro Risk Advisors, who flagged the activity in a series of research notes.

The money-losing trades in question have been purchases of call options on the CBOE volatility index. These represent bets that market volatility is set to rise, and to a lesser extent, that stocks are set to fall.

Sussing out the actions of an institutional trader based on public information about options trades can be difficult, if not impossible. But this trader made it easier by leaving a clue out in the open.

“They have a very particular pattern of buying options,” Chintawongvanich explained Wednesday on CNBC’s “Trading Nation.” “Basically they come in every day and they buy 50,000 VIX calls worth 50 cents. So in other words, they don’t care too much what the strike is; they just pick the option that’s worth 50 cents.”

On Thursday, for example, 50,000 of the VIX 21-strike calls expiring in May were apparently purchased at a price of 49 cents. These options will expire worthless unless the VIX skyrockets 82 percent in a bit more than a month and a half, and will lose money unless the VIX closes above 21.49 on expiration (the VIX closed Thursday trading a bit below 12).

Since the multiplier on VIX options is 100, the purchase alone comes to nearly $2.5 million. In terms of the number of contracts, it was the single biggest trade of the day on any index or stock.

And that wasn’t all. Also on Thursday, 15,000 May VIX 20-calls were traded at 51 cents, and 10,000 May VIX 21-calls were traded at 47 cents.

In total, the party that has become known as “50 Cent” after its favorite purchase price has spent about $90 million, and has already seen $55 million worth of purchased options expire worthless.

Unsurprisingly, this strategy appears to have a marked effect on the overall market for VIX options. Total VIX call open interest has risen to an all-time high thanks to 50 Cent’s purchases, Chintawongvanich said.

A huge share of those calls have 50 Cent’s name on them.

Ironically, the huge bets on the VIX could end up dampening volatility.

“50 Cent becomes very well hedged in a risk-off event, and would be in a position to provide liquidity for those scrambling for a hedge,” Chintawongvanich wrote. “The presence of ’50 Cent’ could mean that future volatility spikes are muted.”

“We think it’s highly possible that this is some kind of systematic hedge run by a larger asset manager,” such as a government pension fund, Chintawongvanich said. “Even though $90 million is a lot of money to us … in percentage of their total assets, it might be a lot smaller.”

In all of my years managing money, I’ve never heard of bets being placed as reckless as these trades. Could this be the actions of a man who’s mandated to lose X amount of dollars in order to inherit a much larger amount, as was the case in the Richard Pryor classic film ‘Brewster’s Millions’?

Or, is this very smart money acting dumb in order to be dismissed as the actions of a deep pocketed lunatic?

Whoever it is, rest assured, has deep conviction that the record low levels of volatility that we presently enjoy is about to end.

As part of Wikileaks Vault 7 release, they just revealed a top secret CIA project dubbed ‘marble’, which is a program that enables the CIA to hack undetected, by cloaking their whereabouts in foreign languages.

In other words, for example, they could’ve hacked into John Podesta’s email box and made it look like the Russians did it.

Or, the Russians might have similar tech and could make it look like the CIA was trying to make it look like the Russians did it, 4d chess style.

The point is, the so called evidence that has been presented tying Wikileaks to Russia, thus far, is childish. There have been zero actual revelations in that regard, other than some anon spooks promising us, ‘with a high degree of confidence’, that they’re right.

Judging by their recent intelligence work that got us into idiot wars in the Middle East, paint me skeptical about anything short of smoking gun evidence that’s directly ties the Russian government to the hacking claims.

That was a very rude title and I really shouldn’t be writing stuff like that, if my intention is to break through to larger audiences. After all, I’ve been stuck with you assholes since 2007 and that’s worked wonders for me. Yes?

I’ve lost nearly all of my hair. I quit my money management profession that made me millions. And now I blog like Sean Hannity at night because I want to be an American super hero, defeating one libtard at a time. Fucking wonders.

Alas, I still have Exodus. You little shits haven’t taken that away from me yet and it’s still winning.

Jesus fucking Christ.

After sleeping on the Flynn news, I think Cernovich is right. The Flynn request for immunity is fake news, in the sense that it’s normal operating procedures for an attorney to request it, given that he is not being compelled to offer testimony.

The President confirmed my suspcions this morning.

Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 31, 2017

I’m very sorry for my libtarded friends this morning, as I know you were absolutely sure you had Trump by the short hairs last night. The lot of you probably did a full needles worth of heroin and had sex changes, to celebrate the news.

But it’s more nothing.

My condolences.

I think it’s pretty clear what we’re dealing with here — people disconnected from reality, chasing phantoms in order to start war. The wars of the past 16 years have been too small. The globalist deep staters want total war. They’d like nothing more than to send your sons and daughters to die in a Russian offensive, all because Wikileaks released John Podesta’s emails during the second failed Presidential run for Hillary Clinton.

Amidst news that Mike Flynn is requesting immunity in exchange for his testimony, regarding this Russian business, Florida’s establishment shill, Marco Rubio, revealed tonight that he was, in fact, targeted twice by Russian hackers during the election.

Did he proffer any evidence to back up said claims? Of course not.

“Russia’s overt media outlets and covert trolls sought to sideline opponents on both sides of the political spectrum with adversarial views toward the Kremlin,” Clint Watts, a senior fellow with the Foreign Policy Research Institute Program on National Security at George Washington University, told the panel.

“They were in full swing during both the Republican and Democratic primary season and may have helped sink the hopes of candidates more hostile to Russian interests long before the field narrowed,” Watts continued. “Senator Rubio, in my opinion, you anecdotally suffered from these efforts.”

Rubio abandoned his presidential run in March after losing the Florida primary to Trump. In June, he reversed his pledge not to run for a second term on Capitol Hill.

Then, “in July of 2016, shortly after I announced that I would seek re-election to the United States Senate, former members of my presidential campaign team who had access to the internal information of my presidential campaign were targeted by IP addresses with an unknown location within Russia,” Rubio said at Thursday’s Intelligence hearing. “That effort was unsuccessful.”

The Florida senator went on to say that at 10:45 a.m. Wednesday, a second attempt to hack those former presidential campaign staffers was also made.

“That effort was also unsuccessful,” he told the committee.

Rubio’s office said they would have no comment beyond the senator’s remarks.

Using this logic, any person inside Russia trying to hack into Marco Rubio’s idiot campaign is a tool of Vladimir Putin. If I hacked into a Russian website today, that website, using the same logic, could accuse the entire United States and Trump for the hack.

This sad low level retard thinking is designed to appeal to people with a confirmation bias. Any person with an IQ above 70 can see through this it.

Alas, what the fuck is going on here?

There is some confusion about whether the Wall Street Journal published more fake news when they claimed Mike Flynn requested immunity. The spokesman for Chairman Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee said Flynn has not requested an immunity deal.

Jack Langer, Spox for Chmn Nunes at House Intel: “No, Michael Flynn has not offered to testify to HPSCI in exchange for immunity.”

However, if you juxtapose that statement against what Flynn’s attorney just issued, confusion arises.

In it, he clearly stated: “No reasonable person, who has the benefit of advice from counsel, would submit to questioning in such a highly publicized, with hunt environment without assurances against unfair prosecution.”

What the fuck does that mean in plain english?

Immunity deal.

Lou Dobbs disagrees.
