Get Ready to Squeeze Shorts

Le Pen won and markets break out because of it. Notice a pattern? Big money doesn’t give a shit about elections — because the outcome is rigged. Seeing Trump turn from nationalist to globalist inside of 100 days should teach everyone to cease dreaming about direct rule by the people. Most people aren’t capable of managing their own households, how do you expect them to manage giant economies?

The shadowy deep government will preside over these elected lightening rods. Prove me wrong, faggot.

These stocks move tomorrow, because squeezing shorts and making them go bankrupt is fun.

Dow Futures Explode Higher; Euro Rages Versus the Dollar

I suspect this is more election fuckery. Perhaps because Le Pen didn’t smash Macron to pieces, investors are interpreting her round 1 win as meaningless — especially since all of the ‘polls’ show Macron easily beating Le Pen in a head to head match. I’d be careful about counting her our. She has some fire in her belly — declaring herself ‘the candidate of the people.’

Dow futures are higher by 200, Nasdaq by 50. Gold is getting clubbed by 1.2%, alongside the silverfags.

Forex markets are lit now, with the euro +1.45% v the dollar. That’s not a typo. The market is pricing in a Macron win, a jubilant victory for the EU and globalization.

Le Pen Vows to Fight ‘Wild Globalism’ in First Round French Election Victory Speech

Marine Le Pen knocked out Fillon to advance to round two in the French election v Macron.

In her victory speech, she parlayed her win into a call for action to all French citizens interesting in preserving the French culture and way of life — or be handed over to ‘wild’ globalism which seeks to wreak havoc and leave the country in tatters.

“What’s at stake for this election is wild globalization that endangers our entire civilization.
Either we carry on the track of total deregulation, without borders, without protection, and, therefore, that leads to international competition, unfair competition, mass immigration, free circulation of terrorists, and that is where money is king. Or you’ll choose France, with borders, protective employment, purchasing power, our security, our national identity.”

Round two occurs on May 7th.

Trump Reneges on BREXIT Trade Deal Pledge, Places Britain in the Back of the Queue

Before the BREXIT vote, President Obama warned Great Britain that if they chose independence from the tentacles of the EU, they’d be punished with a ‘back of the queue’ trade deal. Conservatards were up in arms over his threats and declared Obama’s shilling to be more globalist cuckery — widely derided by the right as unnecessary meddling.

After the election, Britain’s Boris Johnson did a cringe-worthy video declaring that Great Britain would be placed at the ‘front of the line’ for a trade deal — inferring he had learned this after meetings with Trump.

But since Trump’s body had been snatched and brain infiltrated by the anti-christ himself, Jared Kushner, all of that pre-body snatch rhetoric is now meaningless. Trump’s a neocon globalist now and has made it clear that he intends to renege on just about every single campaign pledge, in record time.

Trump is going to place the EU in front of the UK, kicking the limey bastards to the back of the line where Obama said they belonged — because Angela Merkel convinced him to place the EU first.

The United States could strike a free-trade agreement with the European Union after President Donald Trump warmed to a deal with the bloc, the Times reported on Saturday, quoting sources from both sides of the discussion.

Post-Brexit Britain would be pushed behind Europe in the race to secure a U.S. deal after Germany’s Angela Merkel persuaded Trump that talks on a deal would be simpler than he thought, the newspaper said.

Britain will not be free to agree new trade deals until it has left the EU in 2019.

A source close to the White House was quoted as saying that there had been a “realisation” in the Trump administration that a trade deal with the EU – allowing the tariff-free exchange of goods and services – was more important to U.S. interests than a post-Brexit deal with Britain.

“Ten times Trump asked her (Merkel) if he could negotiate a trade deal with Germany,” the newspaper quoted a senior German politician as saying.

“Every time she replied, ‘You can’t do a trade deal with Germany, only the EU’,” the politician said. “On the eleventh refusal, Trump finally got the message, ‘Oh, we’ll do a deal with Europe then.'”

Trump, who has repeatedly criticised the EU, had welcomed Britain’s 2016 vote to leave the bloc and said he would work hard to get a quick bilateral trade deal done.

But German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Friday he was optimistic a U.S.-EU trade deal could be reached soon after he met his U.S. counterpart in Washington.

Here was Boris Johnson back in January, elated at the news that Trump was putting the UK in the ‘front of the queue.’ HAHAHAHAHA, suckers. Enjoy your great depression.

Next up, Trump is going to take your guns away. Trumpsters beat down again.

ANTIFA Upset For Not Being Able to Punch ‘Nazis’ Without Consequences

This is rich with irony. Here’s an active forum on Reddit where ANTIFA degenerates discuss committing acts of violence against nazis. Again, and for the record, Le Fly supports all forms of violence, especially for superficial reasons. The laughable part of what this homo is saying below, is that he’s upset that right wingers have unveiled the identity of a fellow criminal.

He’s now so beset with anguish over there being consequences for his cowardly assaults, that he’s contemplating quitting altogether, until they can get their shit sorted out. This form of stupidity shouldn’t be tolerated. He deserves to be impaled by the Based Stickman.

This all stems from the incredible investigative work done by people on 4chan, who deduced the identity of the bike lock guy, potential mass murderer, just by the boots on his feet, bag on his back, and pen in is pocket.


Many of these Antifa scum are being unveiled as college professors. What a shock.

Here’s a list of donors to an ANTIFA front group.

If you’re curious about the potential mass murder bike lock guy, here’s what he did.

Bordeaux Wine Prices Spike After 2016 Vintage Declared ‘Best Since 2010’

I remember when the 2005 Bordeaux was being celebrated as the best year for the designer wine since 1982. Having some disposable income, I became an energetic collector — buying up first growth vintages and then storing them, like an animal, in a non climate controlled make shift cellar. After later finding out that my investments were spoiling because I hadn’t stored them properly, I quickly them all and promised to never collect again, until I was outfitted with a proper cellar.

According to experts, the 2016 vintage is the best since 2010. It doesn’t mean all that much, aside from the fact that degenerated wine traders will get to buy up cases of the stuff, for their rich clients, attempting to arb the wine from futures market to actual delivery.

The world of Bordeaux, namely first growth estate wine, is a sordid market, replete with hucksters and counterfeiters trying to rip off eager Chinese investors and collectors. In China, there is an obsession with Latour and Lafite-Rothschild wines. If you do a cursory search, you’ll learn the Chinese are buying up all the vinyards in Bordeaux and have been growing plenty of their own wine at home.

Prices are climbing again,  a long awaited lift after years of a do nothing market.

Barrels of the 2016 vintage will be available for international trade over the next few weeks. What this means, essentially, is that wine trading houses will buy up millions of dollars worth of wine, never take delivery, and merely trade the stuff like stocks. I’m not shitting you.

Prices had peaked in 2011, dropping more than 40% in the next five years, after a horrendous 2012 vintage. I recall watching a documentary of a Chinese woman bidding over a million dollars for some Latour barrels, way above market price, simply because she wanted it. The 2012 vintage broke Bordeaux fags to pieces, but have, unfortunately, survived to bid up 2016 to record levels.

“It has the structure of 2010 but the elegance of 2015, 2009,” according to Veronique Sanders of Chateau Haut Bailly in Pessac-Leognan. “The tannins are very round.”

The reason for the great outcome for the 2016 vintage? Weather.

August temperatures were 5 degrees Celsius more than normal while the month had 30 percent more sunshine than average, according to a study by Laurence Geny and Axel Marchal of the University of Bordeaux. The first 13 days of September were the hottest since 1950, followed by brief rain and then more sun which gave renewed impetus to ripening.

“It’s rare to have such balance,” Philippe Dhalluin of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Pauillac said. “It’s due to the summer. Maturity came very slowly.”

If you should happen to get your hands on a first growth 2016 Bordeaux, be sure to store it for at least 10 years in a climate controlled cellar, no more than 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Other plebeian Bordeueax worth collecting should be priced anywhere from $80-$400 per bottle, left bank preferred. The ‘Grand Cru’ designation is often misinterpreted by normies to mean great wine. That designation was given to Napoleaon’s favorite vineyards during his reign. At the time, those were the best and the Grand Cru label meant something. Since then, many estate went bankrupt and the designation was merely pawned off to new winefags, hoping that the label could garner more business.

I prefer Bordeaux over all other wines. I enjoy the earthiness to them. But they’re way overpriced, just like California wine. I haven’t been drinking much wine of late, as I’ve been more into cocktails made with gin or vodka, but many of the Spaniard or South American wines are just as good. Even Washington and Oregon have wines approaching the level of quality of some of the better Californian wines.

But from an investment standpoint, nothing beats Bordeaux.

NOTE: The only publicly traded wine companies here in the US are $VCO, $THST and $CWGL.

Milo Planning to Encamp in Berkeley to Express Free Speech Rights

The civil war is about to commence, a lite version replete with sticks, shields, and pepper spray.

Controversial right-wing activist, Milo (last name illegible) just issued a press release — stating his intent to encamp in Berkeley, CA, in order to express his constitutional rights of free speech.

Those of you sitting at home, comfy, should expect to see the Based Stickman and many of your other super heroes there, defending Milo’s encampment against the vagrancy of the degenerate neo-Marxist left.

[email protected]
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In light of recent controversies, I am planning a huge multi-day event called MILO’S FREE SPEECH WEEK in Berkeley later this year. We will hold talks and rallies and throw massive parties, all in the name of free expression and the First Amendment. All will be welcome, regardless of political affiliation. Free speech has never been more under threat in America — especially at the supposed home of the free speech movement. I will bring activists, writers, artists, politicians, YouTubers, veterans and drag queens from across the ideological spectrum to lecture, march, and party.

MILO’S FREE SPEECH WEEK will include events on the UC Berkeley campus. We will stand united against the “progressive” Left. We will loudly reject the venomous hectoring and moral hypocrisy of social justice warriors. Free speech belongs to everyone — not just the spoilt brats of the academy.

During MILO’S FREE SPEECH WEEK, we will give out a new free speech prize — the Mario Savio Award — to the person we believe has done most to protect free expression at UC Berkeley and its surrounding area. Each day will be dedicated to a different enemy of free speech, including feminism, Black Lives Matter and Islam.

If UC Berkeley does not actively assist us in the planning and execution of this event, we will extend festivities to an entire month. We will establish a tent city on Sproul Plaza protesting the university’s total dereliction of its duty and encourage students at other universities to follow suit.

I intend to return Berkeley to its rightful place as the home of free speech — whether university administrators and violent far-left Antifa thugs like it or not.
– MILO

P.S., I will be releasing further details of my grand comeback tour in the coming few weeks, including information about a special CINCO DE MILO event on 5/5.

How retarded does the left look now, ceding the free speech movement to the right — exposing themselves to be violent, reprobate, knuckle-draggers — while the right simply wants their constitutional rights honored?

Should ANTIFA decide to disrupt Milo’s free speech party, they should expect more of this.

For those who want a little background on the antics of ANTIFA scum, from a first hand perspective, here’s a great attestation of someone who was in the middle of the mayhem.

Trump is Offering Democrats Obamacare Funding for the Wall, In Order to Avoid Government Shutdown

The President’s budget chief, Mick Mulvaney, told reporters the President was negotiating a deal to keep the government operating, by offering CSR payments for Obamacare in exchange for funding for his great, big, magnanimous southern border wall.

“We’d offer them $1 of CSR payments for $1 of wall payments. Right now that’s the offer that we’ve given to our Democratic colleagues,” Mulvaney told Bloomberg Live on Friday.

Mulvaney added that the crux of the matter, in regards to keeping the government funded beyond the April 29th deadline, was Obamacare v The Wall funding.

When asked if the White House would accept ‘border security’ funding, aka literally nothing, instead of bricks for the wall, Mulvaney clarified things for the press pool, saying “elections have consequences.”

“This president should be allowed to have his highest priorities funded even though the Democrats rightly have a seat at the table because of the Senate rules,” he told Bloomberg Live. “But you cannot expect a president who just won [an] election to give up very easily on his highest priority.”

The democrats have said the wall would not be built, considering it a ‘poison pill’, and would never bend to fund it.

The spokesman for Chuck Schumer, Senate minority leader, said: “Everything had been moving smoothly until the administration moved in with a heavy hand. Not only are Democrats opposed to the wall, there is significant Republican opposition as well.”

Both democrats and republican oppose the wall, but Mulvaney insists the President is adamant about getting it done. It looks like the government will shut down, since neither side is willing to meet in the middle — because there isn’t one. You either build the wall, or you don’t.

Senator Schumer said things were going fantastic, as long as the President didn’t meddle with his petty ‘poison-pill’ projects that won him the election.

“I think there’s agreement, quiet agreement in the four corners, that if the president doesn’t interfere and insist on poison-pill amendments to be shoved down the throat of the Congress, we can come up with an agreement.”

War is the Future, Gentlemen

There are a lot of different narratives to chase around. Many of you are techfags. There’s no two ways about it. Some idle themselves in barrels of oil, others inside biotech laboratories — eagerly awaiting to become the next human experiment at the hands of a mad scientist.

I, on the other hand, prefer to remain in my space station — manning an Orbital Space Cannon (OSC), waiting for war.


Oil: sad face, no one cares

Plumes of dust obsfucate the true nature of life, but I know what it is: conflict. On a long enough timeline, everyone dies — some die much quicker and in larger numbers than others. As a people, we’re a violent sort. Even our peacekeepers kill people. Anti fascist gents walk around cracking skulls open with biclycle locks at night, and teach young students ethics during the day.

Betting on the worst of humanity is a very high probability bet, which is why I’m long a portfolio of ‘nation building’ stocks — companies like $KBR interested in building new schools in Tehran — only after we destroy the old ones.

Markets are weak today, but ‘The Fly’ is stronger.
