I know, I know, you faggots want to talk about which stocks are gonna go up today. We’ll get to that later. But for now, find comfort in knowing that neocons have seized control of Trump’s brain.
War on two fronts, one in Syria against everyone and one in N. Korea is probable, as of right now.
Since our media is Soviet styled controlled, they’ll say nothing about these idiotic dangers we’re being placed in.
The problem with most people out there is their inability to think constructively, placing aside partisanship.
Case in point, Bill Mitchell, semi popular alt right guy and radio host, recently debated Stefan Molyneux. The results were nothing short of hilarious. After watching this blue haired moron, incoherently rant on about his position on Syria, blindly following the President’s lead like a dog, I was very appreciative of his existence on this planet. This is very good entertainment.
This is it. This is the stupidest motherfucker on the planet.
America’s foremost expert in international affairs, having served under 5 Presidents, instrumental in the Camp David accords, in addition to playing a key role in regime changes around the globe for decades, Dr. Steve Pieczenik exploded with rage on the Alex Jones show yesterday — warning Trump and his team that war crimes would follow if they pursued a neocon agenda of war in Syria, which the American people do not want.
“This is a warning to our generals, Mcmaster, and others, who think they can do a regime change in Syria. Number one, that will not be possible, not with the military, not with all the forces you have and not with the quality of the soldiers you have, the generals. Any notion of a regime change through force is both absurd or criminal. The issue of Syria and Assad have no national security interests to us at all. This will be an incredible dereliction of duty if we go to war in Syria.”
He then warned Mcmaster and Mattis directly, saying that he will “come forth, and be tried for criminal activity, as will Mathis.”
“There is no reason to put our men and women in harm’s way for oil pipelines, or whatever nonsense that is military industrial complex thinks we need to do to get in the middle east. We have no interest in the middle east.”
“There is no cause for war.”
“Again, we’re going through the nonsense of the neocons.”
Dr. Pieczenik made his first public appearance in more than 30 years during the Presidential elections, saying in no uncertain terms that he represented a faction of the American intelligence community that would not allow Hillary Clinton to become the next President. Moreover, he claimed to be part of an organization that released the Podesta emails to Wikileaks. Interestingly, the mainstream media continues to ignore the good Doctor — in spite of the fact that is resume is anything but conspiratorial. He is the real deal.
At one point in the interview, he got so heated that Jones had to cut him off when he threatened legal action against the President.
“If this goes any step further, this is a warning to our generals, to our President, and anyone involved. Once again, we will react quite vociferously and strongly. This is grounds for all types of legal action against the President.”
He further elaborated on the situation in Syria as a war that is unwinnable, describing how the Assad family was firmly entrenched and could not be displaced by American forces, who have ‘no idea what they’re doing.’
“The people I know in the military are increasing their force structures to the degree that there is no strategy whatsoever. If you have no strategy, and regime change isn’t a strategy, do not go to war.”
“The President needs to understand, if he goes to war, that’s his problem and we will have a major blowback, domestically. Our military is not prepared for this type of war. Our generals have no idea what they’re doing.”
A confused Jones, obviously caught off guard by the acrimonious tone of Dr. Pieczenik, asked what had changed from Friday to cause him to issues these warnings.
Pieczenik described, from a psyops point of view, the things he learned over the weekend that caused him to worry.
“But once I hear, and I understand there are more forces placed there over the weekend, there was artillery placed in there. And in fact, they are creating in the White House, what we call a dichotomy or two messages.”
Ladies and gentleman, we have a new red line, vis a vie the Trump administration. Effective immediately, as per Sean Spicer, any gassing of babies or usage of the barbaric barrel bomb will earn a well deserved military response from the Trump regime.
If on the other hand, Assad kills babies via precision guided missiles, as was the case when Obama made a booby in Northern Syria last July — killing 73, 35 of which were babies, that’s perfectly fine.
Also, Spicer informed us of a new development, stating that Russia was ‘aligned’ with N. Korea — something that has never been used in the common vernacular of the main stream news flow. You might want to add that to your talking points.
Lastly, and most importantly, Spicer said he doesn’t see a way towards peace without Assad being lifted from Damascus. There have been numerous reports circulating today suggesting that Trump was rejecting the neocons’ request for an escalation in Syria. If true, someone should drop that memo off on Spicer’s desk so that he could relay that position to the American people.
This is perhaps the dumbest man in the Senate right now, aside from Senator Graham — who is considered by most to be mentally disabled. Here is Marco Rubio saying that Assad has to be taken out — because the terrorists don’t like him. That wasn’t hyperbole.
That said, look, I listened to the interview earlier today, I guess, that Secretary Tillerson is going to have on your program, and I’m a bit concerned about the outlines of the strategy, as I understand it. I think it’s based on assumptions that quite frankly are not the right ones. And I hope they’ll reconsider this idea that we’re going to get rid of ISIS and then we’ll hopefully use Assad and others to come up with a solution, it’s not going to work.
As long as Assad is there, you’re going to have a radical jihadist Sunni element, even if you destroy ISIS it’ll be al-Nusra and that new coalition. These people who have been killed and gassed and human rights violations against them will never accept Assad as their rightful ruler, and they will join or become radicalized in order to fight him.
Part of his ‘strategy’ is to set up a no fly zone, which caught Stephanopoulos by surprise, who asked him if such as thing were possible without Russia being onboard.
Rubio’s reply, was, essentially, ‘bring on WW3’ — saying that sarin gas was a threat to US forces on the ground there. Ergo, we need to put them at further risk by starting war with the second strongest military in the world, who has the noted benefit of being located right next door to Syria.
It’s worth reminding readers that the U.S. government has yet to prove that sarin was used in the attack, or that the Assad regime was responsible for an attack that clearly benefited the U.S. sponsored terrorists in Idlib.
A ‘senior US official’ says Russia knew in advance of the meaningless chemical attacks that were about to take place — targeting innocent women and babies. The official stated that Russia must’ve known because US intelligence concluded that an evil Russian drone was spotted near Idlib at the time of the attack. Moreover, hours after the attack, Russia bombed a hospital in a flaccid attempt to cover up the use of chemical weapons.
Russia’s side of the story claims Syria bombed a terrorist depot, which stored the chemical weapons. The destruction of the facility caused the poisonous gas to be released into the city. Many believe it wasn’t sarin, but chlorine-based gas — due to the way first responders were dealing with the deceased (without protective gear). Either way, the verdict is in and preparations for war are underway.
Sec. Tillerson is scheduled to visit Russia tomorrow. The Kremlin has not said whether Putin will meet with him or not.
I’ve been saying Israeli based SeekingAlpha.com was a complete scam for years. Finally, after more than a decade of complete and utter shit, the SEC said ‘enough is enough’ and has decided to sue.
Today, the SEC filed charges against 27 fuckheads and companies for ‘hundreds of conflicting articles’ that were published on SeekingAlpha and other sites. This, coming on the day when $STRP got bought out for a 160% premium, after two years worth of wrong-headed short reports from Kerrisdale Capital, is poetic.
The claim: the authors concealed they received from stock promoters. In other words, they were complete shills, hucksters, mountebanks, posing as concerned citizens trying to hash out potential red flags in publicly traded securities. The truth is, they were using the popular platform to move the share prices of the companies they discussed, ingratiating those who took positions ahead of time.
To hide their identities, writers used multiple pseudonyms, even creating separate personas who claimed to have 20 years of investing experience. At one promotion company, writers even signed a contract forbidding them from disclosing their compensation. SeekingAlpha wasn’t accused of any wrongdoing.
“These companies, promoters, and writers allegedly misled investors by disguising paid promotions as objective and independent analysis,” Stephanie Avakian, acting head of SEC enforcement said in the statement.
Entangled in the scheme were 3 companies, seven promotion firms (scum of the earth), two CEOs, 9 writers, six shills, and a partridge and a pear tree.
Settlements in the amount of $3m have been announced, guilty of violating security laws.
According to the SEC, the improper conduct ended in 2014. In 2012, SeekingAlpha banned articles published for the express purpose of scamming people — pay for play articles designed to move markets.
“Our system documents all authors’ claims to not having been compensated by third parties, and we maintain accurate records of all SeekingAlpha authors’ real-life identities,” SeekingAlpha Managing Editor Mike Taylor said in an emailed statement.
SeekingAlpha is backed by DAG ventures, Benchmark and Accel Partners, whose message has been amplified through Yahoo Finance news status for over a decade.
Here are some of my previous rants over SA market moving articles.
Markets love war. During the Iraq war, I made so much fucking money in stocks, my arms involuntarily punched pikers as I walked down the boardroom. Old men with portfolios filled with bonds were slapped around, made to look like fools. People like me, zealots, made a King’s ransom off the Idiot Bush’s neocon inspired nation building.
Well, we’re gonna do it again, this time I’m front running.
I sold out of my $TLT and bought a starter kit portfolio of neocon stocks, available now in Exodus. Aside from defense stocks, I added in some oil, materials, and nation building plays.
One does not fight the deep state and win, unless of course you’re in a fictional show called Homeland. Other than that, it’s important to note that war is our best export. Trump is keenly interested in grabbing some clay in Syria. Since you’re all powerless to do anything about it (extra nihilism), you might as well join the likes of Bill Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumseld and the rest of the gang and profit off it.
I remember when Kerrisdale issued their short report on $STRP back in 2015, bearing witness to the stock getting shredded from the $30s down to single digits. It was followed up with other bears, like Sinclair Upton, who made wild accusations about the companies spectrum being worthless.
Apparently, they couldn’t be further from the truth, as AT&T announced today that they’re worth $1.6b, or 162% above Friday’s close.
Believe me, I have sympathy for people losing money. But in this case, the people from Kerrisdale literally posted fake news, poorly researched nonsense, and pawned it off as fact — luring untold people into their nest of gibberish to be summarily executed by today’s move in the stock.
Any idea what a 160% move in a short position can do to a portfolio?
Their original assumption was that $STRP was, essentially, worthless.
They updated their followers of their renewed spirits in getting against the stock back in January. They could not have been more off the mark.
And for the money shot.
Now the retards are bankrupted. Great analysis Kerrisdale.
Markets are set to open flat, but there are some outliers. Oil is higher by 1% — due to the Syrian escalation. Has anyone ever thought about what the price of oil would look like if we applied sanctions on Russian crude?
All of the metals are sharply lower and not just gold and silver.
I don’t believe the infrastructure bill is dead just yet. So, maybe it’s simply a little profit taking here. Or, maybe the market is pricing in a weaker China. Either way, the base metals are a hugely important tell for global growth.
I’ll be selling out of my $TLT today and moving into some neocon names today, hoping for the worst, but expecting something far more sinister.
Trump’s pick to chair the Council of Economic Advisors is a’globalist’, who espouses views that are antithetical to what Trump was pitching during the elections.
Per Axios:
The pick to be the next chair of the Council of Economic Advisors, American Enterprise Institute economist Kevin Hassett, breaks with the president on a couple of key issues that helped Trump win the presidency:
China: Hassett warned in 2010 that bashing China-U.S. trade policy would bring the U.S. back to the downward spiral in the 1930s.
Globalization: “An absolute prerequisite for long-term economic growth is full participation in the global economy and trading system.”
Immigrant workers: [E]conomic growth could expand significantly if immigration in the U.S. were expanded.”
The bigger story here, however, is the fact that Steve Bannon’s Breitbart is now in open revolt against Trump. The comments sections are overwhelmingly negative on him, dispirited from feeling betrayed over the Syrian strikes, in addition to a sundry of campaign pledges that have, thus far, failed to get any traction.
How much of a shill is Hasset? His predecessor, Jason Furman from the Obama Administration, thinks he’s a solid pick.
Kevin Hassett is an excellent pick. He is serious about substance, committed to dialogue, & knows how to navigate DC. I wish him good luck.
