Economic Warfare

     We all know what's happening to GameStops stock: 


    Next target is the silver market

Silver futures prices and shares of silver miners climbed on Thursday after a user in Reddit’s popular WallStreetBets forum posted about executing a “short squeeze” on the precious metal.Silver futures on the Comex exchange rose by as much as 6.7% to $27.

WallStreetBets is the same investor board that started the wild short squeeze on Gamestop Corp. and other companies. Shares of the US videogame retailer have soared about 17-fold since January 12 as small investors, organizing on social media, have piled in and forced professional short-sellers to abandon their positions with heavy losses.

Reddit’s comments were centered on iShares Silver Trust, the biggest exchange-traded instrument backed by silver, calling it “THE BIGGEST SHORT SQUEEZE IN THE WORLD,” and citing banks manipulating gold and silver price.


    The White House is focused on taking out domestic terrorist

The White House announced Friday a sweeping interagency effort to root out domestic extremism following the storming of the U.S. Capitol earlier this month.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki called the rise of domestic violent extremism a “serious and growing national security threat” and said President Biden’s administration “will confront this threat with the necessary resources and resolve.”

    The stock market is going to crash. Biden administration & billionaires work together to regulate the market because average people are getting screwed from these pump and dumps. Despite the fact the market was crashing regardless, they just needed to redirect everyone's attention. What better target than vengeful redditors and anons? They will be deemed domestic financial terrorist.

Stock Market & Oppression (Video)

 


Schools help Globohomo

     Universities are now punishing students for non-compliance of covid-1984 guidelines:

"And I need to be very clear that students who do not follow all COVID-related expectations face university disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Please note that this semester, students who are out of compliance may also lose access to university Wi-Fi, Zoom, Compass and other technologies," wrote University of Illinois Chancellor Robert Jones in a January 20 email to students, which was obtained by Campus Reform.

"After two instances of failing to complete a weekly test, you will not be allowed to participate in University or student organization activities (All University SING, athletic events, student organization events, campus recreation sports, access to the Student Life Center for recreation, etc.). After missing three testing appointments, your WIFI access will be disabled for the remainder of the semester. After four instances of failing to complete a weekly test, you will be referred to Student Conduct Administration for disciplinary action," according to the university's website.

    By now, everyone should see that universities are tools of the globohomo cabal.  However, they aren't just using universities but also public high schools and middle schools:


    Pretty soon kids attending public schools will be required to wear two or maybe three mask.  These kids are apart of a depopulation program, and their parents either don't care or are too fucking stupid to see it. No need to spiral because this is all apart of God's plan. There's a reason homeschooling is on the rise.


No Free Speech for You.



     Fake President Biden signed another executive order banning the term China Virus:

Sec. 2.  Combating Racism, Xenophobia, and Intolerance Against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.  (a)  The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall, in coordination with the COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force, consider issuing guidance describing best practices for advancing cultural competency, language access, and sensitivity towards Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the context of the Federal Government’s COVID-19 response.  In developing any such guidance, the Secretary should consider the best practices set forth by public health organizations and experts for mitigating racially discriminatory language in describing the COVID-19 pandemic.


    Remember as we enter this new communist America that in the soviet union families were allowed to own small private plots of land (1.2 acres). They were able to grow their own food and sell or trade the surplus. This private industry made up 3% of the nation's population and produced 25% of their nations food:




    The real elite aren't the 3% with the most money, but rather the 3% who have family, community, and real skills. 


Housing All Time Highs

 


    This video goes into the lumber shortage and it's insane. Lumber prices are insane and that's contributing to the housing prices:

Leading up to 2021, the U.S. median home price was $340,000.1 Keep in mind, median price is a benchmark that tells us half sold for more and half sold for less than that amount. Median prices are usually a better way to look at housing price trends (unless you’re buying a mansion on a private island) because average prices can be super exaggerated by a small share of high-end transactions.

    Every realtor I've spoken to expects to see the housing prices rise due to demand, but I don't think the demand will last. Sooner or later those mortgage forbearances will expire and people won't be able to afford their homes. The housing market will then be flooded and banks will further limit who can borrow. Then we'll see a worse housing crash than 2008. 


    

Hold Silver.

     The short squeeze is coming to silver:



    Silver's true value has been suppressed for a long time. Historically, it's ratio with gold is 15:1 but today it is around 70:1:


    If silver just corrected, it would be worth triple digits. However, gold has been suppressed too. So they will both correct meaning silver could reach four digits. This is why the Bitcoin psyop is in full effect. People are trading their gold for Bitcoin:

"The adoption of Bitcoin by institutional investors has only begun, while for gold its adoption by institutional investors is very advanced," the strategists wrote. "If this medium to longer term thesis proves right, the price of gold would suffer from a structural flow headwind in the coming years." In the near term, Bitcoin price is "skewed to the downside."

    They want to get people out of the precious metal market because that's literally where the real money is at. We all know the story of the hare vs the tortoise. The reason many aren't seeing the ridiculous upside to silver is due to multiple generations inability to notice value over price. See, for Bitcoin to exist it requires the mining and using of silver. Dentist, doctors, tech companies, etc all use silver to perform their jobs. Nearly 2/3 of silver is used in industry and currently the above ground supply of silver is lower than gold:



    Combine these factors with the comex manipulation:

The Fix is In – Manipulating the Gold and Silver Benchmarks

Beyond the gold and silver futures markets, but interfacing with the futures, a similar group of bullion bank traders are, not surprisingly, also involved in antitrust court cases alleging that these banks manipulated the London gold and silver fixing benchmark auction prices. While these cases are still winding their way through New York courts, and have not yet been fully ruled on, the chat room transcripts on manipulative price collusion can only be described as shocking, chat transcripts which anyone who bothered to think about it knew they existed from at least 2004.

The cases in question have been brought by groups of precious metals investors against the cartelesque London Gold Fixing and London Silver Fixing companies with allegations that Bank of Nova Scotia and HSBC manipulated silver fixing prices from 2007 to 2013, and that ScotiaBank, HSBC, Barclays and Societe Generale manipulated fixing prices from 2004 to 2013. Noticeably absent is Deutsche Bank which settled its way out of both cases, and UBS which successfully dismissed itself from both cases using cooperation and expensive lawyers.

Again we turn to an article by Allan Flynn from December 2016 titled “How to Trigger a Silver Avalanche by a Pebble: ‘Smash(ed) it Good’ which has a host of excellent quotes from chat room transcripts on how traders allegedly manipulated the silver market, for example:

UBS Trader A: “gonna bend this silver lower”; “i will bend it lower told u”; ”hah cool its gonna get ugly”; “use the blade on silver rg tnow it’ll hold it up", gona blade silver now.

Deutsche Bank Trader B instructing Barclays trader A: “today u smash,

UBS Trader A: “an avalanche can be triggered by a pebble if you get the timing right” and “silver still here, u can easily manipulate silver"


    This can't last forever and it looks like the end is near. Silver and gold are great assets to hold during times like these. Don't miss out on this massive opportunity.

GameStop Goes Crazy

     Reddit users orchestrated a pump and dump scheme on stocks major hedge funds are shorting. This is why stocks like Gamestop went from $2 to $310 in a year despite the company not actually increasing its value. 



    Righteous indignation led them to do this. After all, the billionaires club does the same thing. So why can't the commoner take a shot at it? Well, their shot landed squarely on the nose of the financial monsters like Melvin Capital:

    Melvin Capital closed out its short position in GameStop on Tuesday afternoon after taking a huge loss, the hedge fund’s manager told CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin.

GameStop, hedge funds’ most-hated stock, was targeted by an army of retail investors who marshaled forces against short sellers in online chat rooms. In the Reddit forum “wallstreetbets” with more than 2 million subscribers, rookie investors encouraged each other to pile into GameStop’s shares and call options, creating massive short squeezes in the stock.


    They are taking out the man by becoming the man. Therefore, the karmic debt those bankers accumulated will transfer along with their wealth. These anons working together to expose the system will take the blame for the economic collapse that is coming. The masses will be tricked into hating them and that'll cause stock trading to become more restricted

Robinhood removed GameStopAMCBlackBerry, and Nokia from its trading platform on Thursday, leaving investors unable to buy the highly volatile stocks.

    But hey, you can still purchase the most volatile "stock" known to man, Bitcoin.... That's quite telling. The best thing one can do now (in my opinion) is to buy and hold physical gold and silver. Before you know it, these anons will be targeting the paper silver, and gold market......

Playing Into Their Hands

     Missouri gun shop refuses to sell guns and ammo to Biden supporters:

    JEFFERSON CITY, MO– With many on the right fearing the fact that President Joe Biden’s proposed gun agenda will all but do away with the Second Amendment, the left is now complaining that those very same Second Amendment businesses are discriminating against them. 

    Those who support President Biden are angry that a conservative gun shop has taken to social media to claim they will not be selling to them. 

    Immediately following Joe Biden’s inauguration, Trigger Firearms & Reloading, in Jefferson City, Missouri, published a statement indicating the company will no longer sell munitions or firearms to his supporters, National File reported.

    The owner of Trigger Firearms & Reloading posted his message on Facebook, saying:

    “We don’t have guns or ammo for Biden supporters,”

    Let's recall the outrage from conservatives regarding the social media purge. They felt disenfranchised because their first amendment right wasn't protected by a private company. Now, Republicans in Missouri are doing the same thing to Democrats regarding the second amendment. These games lead to the demise of our constitution. 


"300 Americans"

 


Bitcoin Meets Regulation

    One of the main selling points of Bitcoin is its ability to function outside of the banking system. A form of currency that can remain unregulated by governments and banks. Well, Biden's administration is working to do just that

The cryptocurrency market is looking for a firm regulatory framework. Governments around the world are trying to figure out whether bitcoin is a currency, a tradable commodity, a security on par with stocks and options, or a brand new asset class of its own. Once they figure that one out, they'll have to ask the same questions about Ethereum, Tether, Ripple, and Cardano, and the list of major cryptocurrencies only grows longer over time. Settling the thorny issues of legality, taxation, and trading rules will take time, adding to the uncertainty and volatility of the global crypto market.

President Biden is putting together a team of financial leaders that should clarify the tricky cryptocurrency market in a hurry. Three of Biden's top-level financial staff picks have a proven understanding of how blockchain and cryptocurrency assets actually work.


    Did you really think that the banking elites would simply roll over and die?

Anal testing for Covid!

 
    A virus with a 95% plus survival rate requires mass testing via nasal swabs that jam one's brain. Now, China has found a much more accurate way to test for Covid

China is enforcing strict new measures, including anal swab testing, as COVID-19 cases surge ahead of Lunar New Year, a time of high travel for the country.

Groups deemed necessary for "close monitoring", including international arrivals, are being subjected to four tests — a nasal swab, a throat swab, a blood test and an anal swab.

"Applying extra anal swabs can improve the detection rate of infection and reduce missed diagnosis," Li Tongzeng, associate director of respiratory and infectious diseases at Beijing's You'an Hospital, told state broadcaster Central Chinese Television (CCTV).

Douyacai, a student returning from South Korea, had her anal swab in Beijing on her 14th day of quarantine. 

She wrote that the test was carried out by medical personnel with two swabs.

She wrote on her blog that the test was administered on her 12th day of quarantine in addition to an oral swab and she encouraged others to cooperate with medical staff. 

"I'm not quite sure what they're trying to achieve here with all the anal swabs," Dr Sanjaya Senanayake, an infectious diseases expert at the Australian National University, told the ABC.

Artificial Vaccine Demand

     Hollywood elites use their status to cut the vaccine line:

Some efforts to receive the vaccine ahead of schedule do not violate any laws – though they have raised questions of ethics and good taste in exclusive social circles and boardrooms across Los Angeles. It’s also clear that power and wealth, which allow many in the Hollywood community to afford on-demand doctors and access private planes to engage in vaccine tourism, have enabled them to get shots more safely and efficiently than average citizens. It illustrates the gaping chasm that exists between haves and have nots in this country when it comes to healthcare.

    Real people don't want the vaccine so the media is portraying an artificial divide between those with money and status and those who don't have one or the other or both. This is what they do; pull-on the heartstrings to evoke jealously and envy. Yet, another way to push people to civil war. Don't fall for the trap. Remain in logos and let emotions come and go. 

Republicans become SJWS

     Missouri state legislature purposes a bill that will contribute to the erosion of our constitution

SB 66 - This act modifies provisions relating to public safety.

MARY GRACE BRUNTRAGER

    Yes, as a Christian I believe in law & order. However, this bill will only hurt those it claims to protect. For example, what is an unlawful assembly? Per the media, that would be what took place at Charlottesville or the capitol. Republicans say the protest following George Floyd's death and both elections were unlawful. 

    Then the emotional distress portion screams SJW. Could abortion seekers claim emotional distress caused by abortion protesters? Also, could one argue it's unlawful to protest the law? Therefore, making it legal to use deadly force on those protesters. It's quite clear that both parties are trying to please an utterly dependent and fallen society. That's why it's important to kill the tyrant within before fighting the one outside. 


The Enemy Within

     The government is a physical manifestation of our spiritual world. Currently, we are experiencing an inner civil war. That is why our politicians are introducing bills like this one:

To authorize dedicated domestic terrorism offices within the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to analyze and monitor domestic terrorist activity and require the Federal Government to take steps to prevent domestic terrorism.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the “Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2019”.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:

Kamala Harris Preparing for Presidency?

     She couldn't win the nomination while campaigning for the presidency. So, Harris took the next best thing the Vice Presidency. However, I have a feeling she won't be Vice President for long. Tv shows and movies are made to plant seeds deep within our consciousness. Think of the movie Inception. This is an old tactic of the cabal. They used to use novels to create a "future reality.' 

   Netflix Original series House of Cards appears to have planted a seed. The main character Frank Underwood fought his way to the Vice Presidency, then refused to move into the Naval Observatory. Instead, he remained in his home. While Harris isn't remaining in her home, she is living in the White House guest house:

As the Biden administration gets settled in their new offices and new homes, Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff’s move into the traditional vice presidential residence is delayed. Instead, they are staying in the White House’s guest house.

Repairs are reportedly being done to Number One Observatory Circle, a 19th Century house on the grounds of the Naval Observatory that has traditionally housed the vice president.


     Recall what Trump said regarding the democrats' attempt to invoke the 25th amendment (the Biden administration will regret it). Harris and the team are probably going to let Biden fumble his way through a short presidency then invoke the 25th amendment due to him being mentally unfit. The stage is already set because former Biden supporters are now losing jobs. I think there will be enough evidence for them to execute this plan by March. 

China & Iran

         Before Trump left office, former Sec. of State Mike Pompeo made an announcement stating Iran is the new home to Al Qaeda. This comes at a time when America is putting war back on the table. Biden did say he would be a president for everyone, which actually means the entire establishment. Therefore, new wars will start for the sake of unity. 

    However, a war with Iran would further weaken America and that might be the plan to expose America as a falling empire. A key partnership Iran has is with China. They have a 25-year agreement that helps Iran economically in exchange China gets oil:

The Middle East is consistently important to China because of its massive demand for oil from the Middle East to support China’s manufacturing industries, but the region has never been in the core interests of the Chinese foreign policy. During the Maoist era, China’s regional interests were driven by a strong ideological stance aiming to confront “U.S. Imperialism and its regional proxies.” During this period, China would affirmatively side with Nasser’s Egypt and Arafat’s Palestine while almost entirely refusing to deal with U.S. regional allies such as Israel. But after China’s economic reforms, its foreign policy has become less ideological, moving from “supporting justice in the Third World” to “becoming every regional actor’s friend.” The core strategy of China in the Middle East is to emphasize economic cooperation while avoiding political alliances and to maintain a balanced relationship with all actors in the region while avoiding picking sides in regional conflicts. 

    America's new administration has halted the keystone pipeline, and that increases dependency on foreign nations for oil, specifically the middle east. With China taking a different approach to power via their belt road initiative, countries in the middle east will choose the Chinese over western powers. This is already being shown in Iran:

For the last few years, China has been the largest importer of oil, and it depends more on the Middle East for it. It views Iran as both a critical supplier of energy resources and a participant in its global infrastructure project. China considers freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf as critical to protection of its interests. But in 2020, Beijing purchased just three million tons of Iranian oil, down more than 70 percent from 2019.

The new administration offers hope that, with the return to a nuclear deal and the easing of sanctions, oil will begin to flow vigorously once more. But barring systemic reform that will bolster business confidence, Iran is still reliant on Chinese economic relations. The draft of an ambitious deal with China that envisions $400 billion worth of projects leaked over the summer, a signal that Beijing intends to play a greater role in the region. This has coincided with other prominent leaders in the Middle East and Africa turning to China for grand infrastructure investments.

China controls 75 percent of the oil industry in Sudan, will start running the Port of Haifa in Israel, and even invested in the shiny Cairo central business district in Egypt. But these building blocks of influence, while yielding economic leverage, have not yet translated into any substantial political clout. The ties will nonetheless infuse much needed investment for infrastructure, cybersecurity, intelligence, and the financial sector, along with military support in return for discounted oil and gas.

... What is likewise significant about this partnership is that China and Iran have broader ambitions as foes of the United States. While China now challenges the United States in Asia, the Middle East and certainly Iran could become the new battlefield for a confrontation between the two powers. China providing scarce resources to Tehran can only bolster the theocratic and kleptocratic regime burdened by sanctions.

    China is looking to build an espionage hub in Iran to spy on its citizens, but this will probably serve as an espionage hub to use against America too. China already has front companies in Iran:

U.S. law enforcement in September accused hackers based in Iran and China of conducting global espionage operations while appearing to exist as otherwise innocuous technology firms. While the public nature of the charges are proof the efforts weren’t entirely successful, the tactic marks an evolution of the use of dummy corporations since a group of financial scammers stole a reported $1 billion by posing as a cybersecurity testing firm.

...Intelligence analysts contend the Chinese government began outsourcing cyber-espionage work to nondescript companies after a 2014 agreement in which the U.S. and China agreed to not sponsor any malicious cyber activity for economic gain.

    From my perceptive, China will help Iran in war with USA. Iran will win giving China complete control over the middle east. However, this control will not be what we are used to it. It will be soft power. 

China's New Law

     This past week China passed a law allowing their coastguard to attack foreign ships that are in their waters:

China has risked stoking tensions with its neighbours after it passed a law that for the first time explicitly allows its coastguards to fire on foreign vessels and demolish structures built in disputed waters.

The coastguard law, passed on Friday by China’s top legislative body, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, came two years after China’s military assumed control of the previously civilian maritime body in 2018.

The law empowers the coastguard to use “all necessary means” to deter threats posed by foreign vessels in waters “under China’s jurisdiction”. It will also allow the coastguards to launch pre-emptive strikes without prior warning if commanders deem it necessary.

It is unclear whether the law will be applied to all waters claimed by Beijing, which has a number of competing claims with its neighbours in the East and South China Seas

    This move could be a power play to coerce nations nearby to give up the disputed waters in exchange for protection. After all, America is falling from grace and China is on the rise. Despite this America just sent the U.S.S Theodore Roosevelt to the South China sea:

The strategic South China Sea, through which trillions of dollars in trade flows each year, has long been a focus of contention between Beijing and Washington, with China particularly angered by U.S. military activity there.

The U.S. carrier group led by the USS Theodore Roosevelt and accompanied by three warships, entered the waterway on Saturday to promote “freedom of the seas”, the U.S. military said, just days after Joe Biden became U.S. president..

“The United States frequently sends aircraft and vessels into the South China Sea to flex its muscles,” the foreign ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian, told reporters, responding to the U.S. mission.

    Now, this isn't the first time we have seen America flex its muscles in the South China Sea. Trump's administration did this a time or two. What is different this time, is China's new law.  However, I don't see a direct war with China on the horizon. China is currently in a military standoff with India over a border dispute, and America is gearing up for more war in the middle east. I think America's recent actions in the South China Sea have a new meaning: Show strength temporaily then gradually allow China to replace our presences in Asia.

China Taking Over Taiwan?

     Zion Don picked small hat overloads. Bejing Biden, well, he might as well just admit that America is the United States of China. Contrary to popular news this is not a new thing. China has been in America for years. People haven't noticed it because they love cheap shit. Anyway, during this administration, one major thing we will see happen is the dissolving of Taiwan as a nation-state. 

    America has made deals with Taiwan in spite of China's demands not to. Now, days into Biden's presidency and China appears to be starting their take over of Taiwan

    Eight mainland Chinese bomber planes and four fighter jets entered the southwestern corner of Taiwan’s air defence identification zone on Saturday, and Taiwan’s air force deployed missiles to “monitor” the incursion, the island’s defence ministry said.

Beijing, which claims Taiwan as its own territory, 
has conducted almost daily flights
 over the waters between the southern part of Taiwan and the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands in the South China Sea in recent months.

However they have generally consisted of just one or two reconnaissance aircraft.

The presence of so many mainland Chinese combat aircraft on this mission – Taiwan said it was made up of eight nuclear-capable H-6K bombers and four J-16 fighter jets – is unusual

A map provided by Taiwan’s defence ministry showed that the PLA aircraft, which also included a Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft, flew over the same waters where the most recent missions have been taking place near the Pratas Islands, though still well away from mainland Taiwan.

Taiwan’s air force warned away the aircraft and deployed missiles to monitor them, the ministry added, using standard wording for how it responds to such activities.

“Airborne alert sorties had been tasked, radio warnings issued and air defence missile systems deployed to monitor the activity,” it said in a brief statement.
