Gamestop!

The guys who get rich by betting in the Market Casino are furious!

The whole story is complex, so to do your own research.

A few thoughts.

The Hedge funds that went bankrupt did so by betting a company will fail, that's fine, anyone can think, say, hypothetically PepsiCo is going to lose money with a bad choice, say Mt. Dew Pork flavor, ; ) and sell the stock.

But the bets the Hedge funds made were with money they didn't have. So, like in Vegas, their legs got broken. ( figuratively ) Your bets, buying and selling, are with money that you earned. You may go broke, but not suddenly find yourself owing millions.

That's the nature of the "Short" bets that pay off big for some. Cheating! Nope. Just rules that are written so the smart guys can make money.

Feel free to argue that.

So what? Rich dude gambled and lost, fair enough.

But real people, not elite aristocrats, got a hit too. If their portfolio had these hedge fund companies that bet & lost, they lost too.

That's also true if they have stock in a company that has problems, ( headline: riots in Tehran over Infidel Soft Drink ) ...

So now the Wall Street is freaking out and demanding an insane level of surveillance & restrictions on "social media" and investment.

Interesting times.

Not many avg Joe's have hedge funds in their portfolios. In fact, most 401ks prohibit those types of funds. And thank goodness for that.

I enjoyed the whole Wallstreetbets anti hedge fund shorting thing as a fantastic "Question Authority" experiment.
While they generally fail because the authorities already in place have better practical experience and are more familiar with the existing infrastructure, when the authorities fail, even partially, fascinating new opportunities, and new risks suddenly emerge.

I used to get some managers upset at work by quoting Brave New World.

"My word, I’m glad I’m not a Gamma" &

"Alphas work so terribly hard..."

The local Union prez almost lost it when I said that first one during a dispute meeting. ; )



A couple highly relevant today.

"Moral education, which ought never, in any circumstances, to be rational.”

"Till at last the child’s mind is these suggestions, and the sum of the suggestion is the child’s mind. And not the child’s mind only. The adult’s mind too — all his life long. The mind that judges and desires and decides — made up of these suggestions! But all these suggestions are our suggestions! Suggestions from the State.”

Not just Talking Points.

We cannot become the party of QAnon, we cannot become the party of Holocaust denial, we cannot become the party of white supremacy.

Other than the imaginary Q that I bet is named after a Star Trek villain? ( I've never bothered to see if the "movement" is a DNC or CCP Agitprop false flag )

Liz is parroting the Projection Lies of the Left. It's the Harris/Biden* regime that's hiring Jew hating scum. Lots of them.

I don't know if the Harris/Biden* Minions openly deny the Holocaust, like the Iranian Mullahs Harris/Biden* plan to give more billion$ to like Barry did, or the Palestinian Kleptocrats that use hate to stay in power, and can never, ever, let their subjects get success or freedom. But it's Never been a Conservative lie, Always a Leftist one. ( The Pogroms of the Czars long predates the Holocaust, so the Jew Haters from 3000+ B.C. through 1939 can't be "deniers", just Evil. )

Ditto White Supremacy is a Democrat Party value from the Party's beginning as the Party of Slavery, then after the Civil War, the Klan, Jim Crow, Segregation, Welfare State, and the systematic destruction of Black families and faith.

There is no more unsubtle tell of a White Supremacist than their fervent belief Blacks are incapable of living in a modern world. Too stupid to get a driver's license or free ID, so any attempt at election fraud reduction Must Be Racist! Oh, and it's a tell you commit election fraud, as we plainly see they do.

So Liz belongs on The View, the racist leftist lie agitprop Lady Haw Haws Housewife Indoctrination Show. Not Congress. ( And The View should be in the Soviet Propaganda Museum next to the Real Holocaust Deniers and Murderers. )

Projection! It's not just a psychiatric Disorder, it's Policy.

Good news is, I have most of that covered already. I just....do. Comes from a Navy / German / CPA father's influence, along with the usual Boy Scout mantra: "Be Prepared".

Excellent article though. I'll be printing and passing around to friends.

It may be time to take advantage of Coronapanic and end the Communist doctrine in Public Schools by Ending Public School.

Don't think I don't like good teachers. I admire and we need them. We don't need this.

Also, kids are filthy little germ factories, so I completely understand the fear that as we relax hygiene pushes in late 2024 ( to create the illusion that Harris* is doing a great job, perhaps ) the staff at Big Government Schools will get hit with waves of influenza, Covid-19, and other, deadlier, diseases from Communist China and other Communist occupied lands, like Africa and S. America and Mexico. ( not all are currently fatally infected today. But next year? ) The People's Republic of California in particular is beginning to incubate medieval plagues that we haven't seen since Pasteur. We may need a Border Wall or Death Drones to stop the carnage.

Fortunately, much of the Borderlands are sparsely populated so seeding the lands with Eridium may help... Or is that the video game? Hard to tell. : ) ( joke. It's not that easy )



Jokes about mass murder aside, if we can't have neighborhood Superbowl parties we certainly can't have multi neighborhood gatherings of immature Karens creating our curriculum or children gathered in poorly ventilated multi neighborhood groups. Wouldn't be prudent.

The Islamic world, as the historian Bernard Lewis once observed, stagnated in the 19th and 20th centuries once radical Islamists began squelching all free inquiry.

Humanities and science were perverted from 1932 to 1945 in Germany by the pollution of Nazi racial censors.

What was written or advanced in communist Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union is largely discredited, given that commissar hacks determined the rules of publication and research.

Something similarly frightening is now occurring in the United States.

Scholars, journalists, artists and educators feel they must mouth politically correct platitudes. They constantly hedge their public discourse in fear of career cancellation.

They strain to synchronize their research with some approved woke ideology to save their livelihoods.

When professors must write "diversity statements" and hire, promote and fire on the basis of race, the model is not the U.S. Constitution, but something out of contemporary China.

No one pays much attention that our capital is now weaponized with soldiers in camouflage and barbed wire.

Not since the Civil War has Washington resembled such a vast police state. Ex-military officers who once warned Donald Trump not to deploy federal troops to ensure the safety of the White House from antifa and Black Lives Matter demonstrators now are silent about a veritable army deployed in Washington.

Joe Biden has signaled that all new pipeline construction is over. Fracking on public lands is taboo. The border is to become wide open. Federal immigration law is now effectively nullified.

Americans may soon have to be tested for COVID-19 before flying into or out of the country. But undocumented immigrants will not be so COVID-19 certified when — illegally — they cross the border.

Iran is bankrupt, isolated and roundly despised by most of the countries in the Middle East. Now America is doing its best to resuscitate the most radical and anti-American regime in the world — at the expense of our allies in the Arab world, Israel and America's own interests.
