Has the whole world gone insane? I just got through watching one of my favorite video hosts talking about how Trump is/is not working on a trade deal with China as if that were the crux of what’s happening with the US economy. Although our bilateral trade with China has a direct impact on the American economy in a lot of ways, what Trump is doing has nothing to do with how our trade with China affects people in America or our wealth, nor is it intended to.
A totally blind person can see what’s going on. The economy of this country is tanking and tanking fast, and Trump is looking out, as always for his wealthy cronies. There is only a little of pie remaining on the plate and wealthy billionaires and millionaires are scrambling to get their greedy paws on what’s left. As long as there are suckers to put their money into it, there’s a fortune still to be made in the stock market and contrary to popular opinion it’s not a big gambling casino, though for some blue-collar folks some money has been made in it, but money for the plebe is only an ancillary effect of the market. The stock market has always been rigged in favor of the wealthy – not a gambling casino at all. The rich guys have gamed the market from the beginning and have convinced the working folks to invest their real money in it so they (the wealthy) can take it from them. This works as long as the unsuspecting proles think the market operates on the up and up, but it doesn’t, and it never has.
Rich men have developed software that buys and sells market shares in seconds. They know ways to manipulate the market to maximize their theft and take advantage of changing values in nanoseconds. They know how to manipulate the little graphs that show how the market is doing to make it look like it’s doing well (for unsuspecting peons who might be tempted to invest). If John Q Hillbilly makes a little money here and there, rest assured it’s only the trimmings after the big boys have siphoned off the real profits.
How to play the market from the white house? If I was a really crooked president and already knew how the market was rigged, I would call up my buddies and say ok guys, the market is going low tomorrow because I’m about to announce huge tariffs, so get ready. They begin to sell big time, driving down the value of the common folks’ shares as the market reacts to the tariff announcement and drops as expected, then call them up and say ok guys, buy now, because tomorrow I’m going to relieve the tariffs, so the rich guys buy the shares the proles dumped and drove down yesterday – big time – as the market is 2,000 points down, and sure enough, tomorrow comes and I say “Just kidding – no tariffs”, and the market rebounds gaining my rich buddies billions if not trillions. If the SEC was a for real enforcement arm, they could easily determine who sold and bought and when, relative to my announcements, and find the chicanery, but they won’t, and John Q Hillbilly has lost his 401K, but that’s too bad for him.
We already know there have been cases of congress critters’ investment timing having been predicated on bills before congress that would affect market shares, so having a president pre-announce trade policy manipulation to his cronies who paid for his election wouldn’t take much imagination. For crying out loud, if a man was president and neck-deep in genocide, how do you figure he’d be morally above cheating his country’s citizens?
I don’t know much about finance, but it’s pretty obvious how this could happen. There’s not much pie left so the greedy pigs find any source of money (look out Social Security) and dig in. As the entire economy of the country collapses and not-wealthy people seriously begin to worry about feeding their families, the wealthy continue to make money from the misfortune of the common folks. I recall how the big energy company Enron under the villainous Key Lay stuck it to the folks out in California on their power rates and there were even recordings of heartless employees making fun of Grandmas losing their power because of the exorbitant rates Enron levied. One of the requirements for being wealthy is service to Satan and part of that service requires surrendering any semblance of a conscience one might have.
The wealthy, also as part and parcel of their service to the devil – at least in our time – is to finance genocide wherever possible, be it threatening to cut off funding for universities whose students call out their evil, or AIPAC purchasing politicians from the clearance aisle of the Rayburn building, their money goes to 100% evil uses. And decadent lifestyles. If there are peons out there who actually trust our politicians and/or president to observe insider trading rules and regulations when they show every day that they have no moral compass, then if you lose your shirt in the stock market, you probably deserve to. Wall street is just a huge money trough for greedy wealthy pigs to feed from. You are seeing it in action right out there in public – the market is responding daily to the intentionally driven fluctuations and the wealthy know each time it’s about to change, when to buy and when to sell – armed robbery of America and no one in Washington is looking out for the common folks, but then what else is new?. Now when there is a for real crash and the formerly wealthy investors start jumping out of windows, that’s when you know it was real and not a manipulation. Maybe that should be taught in Finance 101.
This poster does not play in the stock market, so I couldn’t care less how it performs, but there are a lot of my fellow travelers who erroneously think investing is a fair game and sink their money into it. I’d just like to call folks’ attention to what they’re seeing right in front of their faces. The Chinese just look on and shake their heads, they have opted to disengage from this clown show that America has become and let Trump go ahead and destroy America – let him speed up the transfer of the last of the nation’s wealth to the billionaires. I’m sure most of the foreign countries are able to see it for what it is, and are probably amazed that the very people who are the most adversely affected by this chicanery can’t (or won’t) see it as it destroys their economy, but Trump, as always has his marching orders from Bibi and the Zionist lobby. I wish there was a way to figuratively turn over their money changing tables like Jesus literally did.
For me, well I store my treasure in a place where thieves can’t get at it and one day we who do so will reap the return on our investment when the Lord finally comes back and puts a stop to this worldly nonsense. It might seem so for now, but He’s not going to wait forever. Forget any try at earthly wealth and put your trust in Jesus – that’s all you need.
May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.
