The stock market, fatally wounded by the truth, will stumble and crash

behind the curtain
It didn't have to be this way, but this is the reality we must now face: truth is fatal to fraud, and our entire financial-political system is a fraud.

The stock market has just been punctured by the thin blades of truth. It is fatally wounded but nobody dares notice. The wounds are barely visible, but the internal damage is mortal. The stock market is already stumbling and will soon crash.

The banquet's participants ignore the faltering market because the rules are we never reveal the truth, or acknowledge it, or discuss it, no matter how obvious, because truth is fatal to fraud. So the stock market's vital signs are in freefall but the conversation remains upbeat and light: stimulus, rapid growth in the second half, etc., all the patter of a carefully constructed illusion that fraud is forever as long as the truth never comes out.

Alas, the truth has emerged from the shadows, despite the silence of the insiders and the financial media. Here are the truths that have emerged like karmic genies:

1. The stock market is nothing but one giant fraud. The entire market is corrupt and rigged from the ground up. The fraud is systemic, designed into every tendril of the market. It was a useful deception to blame it all on "bad players," but now the truth has been revealed: the market is nothing but a rigged game enriching insiders.

Comment: The people of the US are not alone in suffering the incredibly pervasive sickness of Greed:

Who will dare eat from the tree of for-Biden fruit?

Four years ago the world was introduced to the concept of "fake news". Many people may have suspected that the consensus reality of corporate news was a fantasy designed to stupefy and confuse the populace, but the validation from the incoming President Trump solidified the distrust. This was met by a self-defensive frenzy from that same media edifice that bordered on the homicidal at times. This wounded animal — suffering a collapse in audiences across the board — championed an alternative to the sitting president, who now sits behind the big brown desk in the Oval Office.

The benchmark of what constitutes a "conspiracy theory" has moved so dramatically over the past four years that claims that Joe Biden's inauguration was pre-recorded and that he occupies a film studio rather than the real White House don't grate the way perhaps they would have even a year ago. The mind boggles — but afterall, this is the age of the scamdemic, where large swathes of the western world have been shut down because of a virus with the severity of a common cold that has yet to be isolated (and therefore proven to exist), and which in any case can be effectively targeted by a simple and safe prophylactic such as hydroxychloroquine, which has been maligned in favor of a mass vaccination program with an experimental gene-altering compound that is not technically a vaccine. But let us not argue over semantics in times like these.

Comment: The author offers quite a good summation and analysis of current events and patterns in the US, emphasizing we clear our thinking to see and evaluate the grand political schemes currently in motion.

Biden advisers' deep ties to Chinese Communist Party military and propaganda

Harvard University's Belfer Center - which counts participation from a host of current and former Joe Biden advisers - has repeatedly hosted conferences alongside the Chinese Communist Party, frequently publishing papers peddling CCP narratives, all while refusing to disclose its source of funding.

Compromised Conferences

The National Pulse can reveal the center has hosted cybersecurity working groups alongside Chinese Communist Party government and military officials, despite China's repeated poaching and hacking of U.S. technology:
The working group in Cambridge brought together 20 representatives including former government and military officials, as well as tech, business, and academic professionals to discuss current issues in the bilateral cyber relationship.

Biden's White House wants questions from reporters in advance

Joe Biden's Communications team has repeatedly asked reporters to inform them of their questions ahead of pressroom briefings.

As reported by The Daily Beast, Biden's "staff have already on occasion probed reporters to see what questions they plan on asking new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki when called upon during briefings" - less than two weeks into the former veep's term.

The "requests prompted concerns" among the White House press corps, causing several reporters to flag them on a White House Correspondents Association Zoom call on January 29th. The Daily Beast summarized:
"According to multiple sources, leaders at the meeting advised print reporters to push back against requests by the White House press team to learn of questions in advance, or simply to not respond to the Biden team's inquiries."
Other sources were quoted as slamming the requests as inhibiting the press from "doing its job" and operating "freely" in the Biden administration.

Comment: Biden Administration has a poor press showing so far. The WH request is for a 'heads up' advance (no matter how they frame it).

Fence at Capitol blocks DC government from enacting new laws

That foreboding black fence erected around the U.S. Capitol building has had an unintentional side effect: walling off the local government's ability to enact new laws.

Washington, D.C., city officials say dozens of new local laws have been bottlenecked because of the lockdown of the Capitol building after the violent Jan. 6 attack by supporters of former President Donald Trump. Under terms of the District's tortured relationship with the federal government, physical paper copies of all new laws must be hand-delivered separately to Senate and House leadership. They cannot be mailed or emailed.

"We are unable to get through the fences. We are trying to find a way to deliver the legislation," D.C. Council Chair Phil Mendelson said Monday. "Sooner or later, there's going to be a gate that opens."

The problem was resolved by Monday afternoon. Nyasha Smith, the secretary of the D.C. Council, told The Associated Press that her office met "off-campus" Monday with a House of Representatives staffer to deliver the documents for House leadership. Last Friday, they did the same with a member of Vice President Kamala Harris' staff; Harris, as vice president, presides over the Senate.

But D.C. officials say the episode shines a light on the larger issue: the fact that D.C. isn't a state and needs to run its local laws past Congress in the first place.

Comment: Authoritarian regimes require barbed fences. The power of fortressing increases the power of fear.

Trump legal team: Impeachment article is in 'violation' of Constitution, calls on Senate to acquit

Trump legal team denies that the former president violated the oath of office

Former President Donald Trump's legal team on Tuesday filed its response to the House article of impeachment ahead of next week's trial, denying wrongdoing and calling for the Senate to acquit Trump of the charge.

The answer denies that Trump violated his oath of office while also saying that he was protected by the First Amendment in response to claims he incited an insurrection.

"It is denied that the 45th President of the United States ever engaged in a violation of his oath of office," the Trump legal team brief says. "To the contrary, at all times, Donald J. Trump fully and faithfully executed his duties as President of the United States, and at all times acted to the best of his ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, while never engaging in any high Crimes or Misdemeanors."

Netanyahu pushed new settlements hours before inauguration 'with malice' for Biden

Just hours before Joe Biden was sworn in 12 days ago, Israel moved ahead with 100s of new illegal settlement units. That included opening construction bids on 1200 units in the "doomsday settlement" of Givat HaMatos, so-called because putting Jewish-colonist housing on this hill south of Jerusalem would forever separate Bethlehem and the West Bank from Palestinian neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. So it would doom the "two-state solution," according to liberal Zionsts who fight the settlement project.

Benjamin Netanyahu went ahead with Givat HaMatos five hours before inauguration with "malice aforethought" and "antagonism" for Biden, Jerusalem expert Daniel Seidemann told the Israel Policy Forum last week.

"He chose the timing. He did it with malice aforethought," Seidemann said.

Netanyahu is wed to the Trump plan that allows Israel to annex much of the West Bank, Seidemann says, and so he sought to "stick it to a Democratic president," much as he had sought "altercations" with Barack Obama over settlements in 2010-2012 and with Veep Joe Biden in 2010, in Biden's case announcing new settlements as Biden arrived in Israel.

Flashback Best of the Web: 9-11 Research: Evidence of insider trading on United and American airlines stock

Pre-9/11 put options on companies hurt by attack indicates foreknowledge

Financial transactions in the days before the attack suggest that certain individuals used foreknowledge of the attack to reap huge profits.1 The evidence of insider trading includes:
  • Huge surges in purchases of put options on stocks of the two airlines used in the attack -- United Airlines and American Airlines
  • Surges in purchases of put options on stocks of reinsurance companies expected to pay out billions to cover losses from the attack -- Munich Re and the AXA Group
  • Surges in purchases of put options on stocks of financial services companies hurt by the attack -- Merrill Lynch & Co., and Morgan Stanley and Bank of America
  • Huge surge in purchases of call options of stock of a weapons manufacturer expected to gain from the attack -- Raytheon
  • Huge surges in purchases of 5-Year US Treasury Notes
In each case, the anomalous purchases translated into large profits as soon as the stock market opened a week after the attack: put options were used on stocks that would be hurt by the attack, and call options were used on stocks that would benefit.

White House reviewing whether Trump should continue receiving intel briefings

The White House is conducting a review to determine whether former President Trump should continue receiving intelligence briefings now that he has left office.

Speaking at the White House press briefing on Monday, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said President Biden's national security team is looking into the matter.

"It's something that is under review," Psaki said.

Former presidents typically have access to intelligence briefings after leaving office.

Comment: Trump understands the value and purpose of these intel reports, so he probably wouldn't read them even if he still had access to them.

Israel claims Iran will have enough enriched uranium for 1 nuke in 6 months, twice as long as Biden admin estimate

© REUTERS/Carlos Barria/PoolNewly confirmed U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken concludes his first press briefing at the State Department in Washington, U.S., January 27, 2021.
Israel's energy minister said on Tuesday it would take Iran around six months to produce enough fissile material for a single nuclear weapon, a timeline almost twice as long as that anticipated by a senior member of the Biden administration.

Israel is wary of the Biden administration's intent to reenter the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal and has long opposed the agreement. Washington argues that the previous Trump administration's withdrawal from the deal backfired by prompting Iran to abandon caps on nuclear activities.

Speaking last month a day before he took office as U.S. secretary of state, Antony Blinken said that the so-called "breakout time" - in which Iran might ramp up enrichment of uranium to bomb-fuel purity - "has gone from beyond a year (under the deal) to about three or four months". He said he based his comments on information in public reporting.


Comment: That's hardly reliable intel.


Comment: Iran has made it pretty clear, drop the sanctions and the warmongering, and they've no need to be provocative; however, with Israel and the Biden administration it's only likely to get worse:
