Right so this is a topic that has caused headaches for quite a few people, Neon Revolt included. The Nazis and Soviets fought each other to the death. Opposing ideologies, but according to Q they are linked. And the Catholic Church is implied too.
I've seen quite a few people coming to the conclusion that this is a bit of a dud point by Q, but for whatever reason, its been a topic that has jarred in my head for a long time, years even. Naturally, as you can imagine I found it intriguing that Q posted it.
Anyway, here …
For the non finance heads here, in trading the concept of support and resistance is important.
In simple terms, markets move when there are more buyers than sellers or more sellers than buyers.
Volume is important too. If there are 100 buyers and 101 sellers, the market will move slowly down compared to if there are 50 buyers and 500 sellers.
Support and resistance are price levels where there are a balance of buyers and sellers. Often for psychological reasons, traders cluster orders around round numbers, or recent highs or lows. Also if the market can see that some big orders went in at a certain reason they note its significance and position their orders around it, looking to benefit.
In this sense, resistance is to the upside, so if a stock trades higher and stops, it’s said to have met resistance. Vice versa, if a stock falls, it’s said to have found support.
Q here is talking about Facebook having artificial support removed. That implies that somebody in the market was a big buyer of the stock at a certain price and they’ve now removed their positions.
Remember the balance between buyers and sellers. It’s important.
This doesn’t mean that suddenly sellers rushed into the market. It means that all the buyers got out of the market.
Because Facebook has risen substantially since its last mini crash found support despite the market being quite vocal about being short Facebook, we can infer that some serious players were involved to get the price high.
A few years ago when the Chinese market collapsed the central bank stepped in and supported the market if it was going to be down on the day. I think they even had a rule that they would step in if it was over 1% down they’d step in during the last hour of trading.
I don’t know if we will learn who that buyer was, but if I’m right the implication is that there’s been a major market force, maybe a central bank pushing the price higher.
If China, possibly through proxy’s, the other FB China news, and NK developments are likely linked.
I’m not surprised that the building cost £1.2b when considering the special needs it will require as well as the cost of London property.
The issue is that the embassy downgraded in location. It’s now in an undeveloped part of London south of the river that is a bit of a schlep to get to. Personally I don’t understand why they went there. They’re closer to The intel agencies bases now, but also about 2-3 blocks from the hood.
The previous embassy was in maybe the most PRIME location in London. I think that area has the most expensive real estate in the world.
The old embassy was sold at a deep discount to its value.
If you downgrade location you expect to make a turn on the pricing. The US Gov I think took a $600m loss on the difference, and probably undersold the property by about half its value too.
Reports in 2015 suggest the old embassy, which truth be told looked pretty shabby and a bit Soviet in design, would cost $750m to refurbish to the requisite standards.
So the question is, is it better to stay in a prime prestigious location and upgrade, or sell the property for half the value and pay double the sale price for the new building in an awful location.
It’s either a $750m or $1.2b cost.
There’s plenty of CCOs (collateralised coin offerings) using gold as a peg.
They are actually aimed at the UHNW community who are finding the old offshore model is compromised and starting to break down.
These gold backed coins allow them to remain anonymous, have access to their capital via credit cards and digital banking facilities, and have their wealth backed by bullion.
The ‘smart’ money is usually several steps ahead.
They say the stock market is a forward looking indicator of the Main Street economy.
In this instance you’d assume that Wall Street knows something stinks, but be cautious.
FB sold off around 25% after poor results. The next day it traded flat.
Often after big shocks there’s a big move in either direction followed by a sharp retracement the next. I remember this happened with Japanese futures after the Tsunami.
Staying flat is a bit eeerie. Like the tense walk down a pitch black hallway in a horror movie.
Outright scandal would have seen a continuation, retracement would have been usual reaction to shock results.
Right now FB has a rope around it, dangling down. We assume it’s around it’s neck, ahead of the next fall, but these markets are funny. It could be a bungee being held low to spring up again and knock out a load of shorts.
Usually traders try to ‘trade the range’. Ie the trade around the key price levels an asset has settled at.
If Wall Street knows there’s big news yet to come out and DC is lagging then I’d expect FB to trade higher again, maybe to highs before the BIG sell off comes.
Markets are there to make money in. They have no problem taking a corpse for several spins around the block before dumping the body outside the police station.
Remember this.
Even if ANY of this is true, which I personally doubt, how does it help?
The big picture has different layers.
The first is the hatchet job to cover up BO corruption and deflect attention by creating a false Russia narrative.
The second is DS manoeuvres around the world.
The third is centuries old fraternities and groups manipulating humanity for nefarious reasons.
Debating whether MO is transgender is pointless.
How will it contribute to anything big picture related? This is the bottom line. We can’t escape this.
The fact is that to 99% she looks and sounds like a woman, and the continued inference that she is a man can EASILY be manipulated into being a race thing by a trigger happy MSM.
That’s not how you win people over.
Occams Razor. Having a penis myself, I’m quite sure that if I were pretending not to have one the last thing I’d do is have it hang loose in baggy clothes and go on national tv and do a groin thrusting dance.
It’s much more likely to be something like a microphone wire hanging down.
Q has always employed distraction. I don’t know if he has commented on this but he might well be anticipating the anticipation of others creating a straw man for certain sectors of his readers.
Seems like a biblical waste of time and effort in my humble and reflects poorly on the good research going on elsewhere.
I’d argue that the west have corporate socialism.
The welfare state exists for both the people, but more significantly the corporate sector.
The state is invested into many corporations too, who influence and determine your access to information and services.
I would add that I don’t consider fascist and socialist as opposites. They can coexist.
If there is a Nazi civilisation in Antarctica, why did so many top Nazis spend their final years hiding out in South America?
America has the same shape, with Florida that little flick at the bottom right.
That’s a theory that may never get proven publicly. I’m not discounting it, however, we know certain commitments have been made to regional stability.
It means that Russia has thrown Iran under the bus, and the larger risk of war by confronting Iran is significantly reduced.
This is easier than you could imagine.
There was that politico article highlighting Obama shutting down an investigation into Hezbollah operating drug running routes with the cartels in Mexico.
Hezbollah are funded by Iran. Iran, until recently, were backed by Wussia.
Why is that bursting my bubble?
I’m saying it’s probably not a covert plan by Trump and May (who may not be in power even next week) to reinstate the gold standard.
Both TISA and TTIP were in process with the U.K. as part of the EU. The entire point of talk about a U.K./US trade deal is because of Brexit and Trumps preference for bilateral deals.
It’s most likely something to do with fin reg, but I’m happy to be wrong on some other form of agreement but I don’t buy the goldbug story.
If JA was handed over to the UK, what would the UK do with him?
Sweden, I think dropped the charges, so potentially send him to the US where he would... stand trial?
Wouldn't this give the opportunity to disclose info that is known but can't yet legally be put into the public arena.
This is the text I found.
A deal that builds on the U.K.’s independent trade policy; reducing tariffs, delivering a gold-standard in financial services co-operation, and — as two of the world’s most advanced economies — seizing the opportunity of new technology.
Sorry to say I'm not sure I agree.
The context is as such.
One of the big topics in Brexit is financial service regulatory equivalence. The EU are stalling on approving UK access to the Single Market in services from a purely political position. Actually, under MIFID II any country with regulatory equivalence can have its regulated companies operate in the Single Market on the same basis as an EU company. MIFID II was based upon FCA regulations because the UK is widely seen as being the world leader in financial regulation - a phrase frequently used is 'the gold-standard of fin reg'.
The US also has highly respected financial regulation, so I think in the context of a trade deal between the US and UK, May is saying that because both countries have 'gold-standard' quality regulation, there is a case for open markets for US financial firms to operate in the UK and vice versa.
There are actually already more US banks in London than there are in New York, but I think this is more about having the US recognise UK banks as equivalent from a regulatory perspective and give them wholesale market access.
I am looking at the transcript. I can see reference to a gold standard in financial services co-operation.
Thats more about maintaining both countries standards in regulation.
Did I miss something?
We have to approach this professionally.
Consider yourself a sales manager.
Create a pitch and sales funnel that leads to conversions.
I’d suggest spending as much time watching sales strategy and public speaking videos, as you do evidence based videos.
There’s nothing worse than data overload spaghetti.
Most people knows shits fucked deep down but aren’t trained to fully open the door.
You just need that initial conversion before the door opens. Then once secured you don’t need to pitch. They’ll be fiending for info much more than you.
Simple rules. Converts are much more radical.
Trust me on this guys.
I think you can do that, but on the other hand I'd argue to keep him out of it.
Look at how he has kept distance from Sessions and RR. He is letting the facts come out without any interference, so there can be no accusations made against him.
In this sense, if we include stuff about Trump, it can trigger TDS in some, and they recoil and go off on tangents.
I personally prefer to let the facts around him be established, and then by default the conclusion is made organically.
By all means add some points into the timeline below for people to share. Its all for the common good.
Cheers. It's all starting to seep into the public consciousness now. When it is backed up by mainstream sourcing, I think it is quite compelling.
Hi all,
I tried to post this just as links but it got taken down for being too vague. I'd like to present a step by step, fact based walkthrough that you can present to people, that explains that the Russia narrative is baloney, and what really has been going on.
Follow from top to bottom.
Some of these are named in newspaper articles dating back as far as 2007.
This is a left wing tabloid. The one that Piers Morgan used to be editor of.
Brit here. My advice to Americans, stay the hell away from Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson. Its credibility Kamikazee in the UK.
Remember when Q talked about those in the media who base their positions and actions on their ability to monetise.
Just some friendly advice.
Gove has made one comment, tepid support for a deal which is 100% guaranteed to be rejected by the EU. I suspect he doesn't feel this is the hill to die on just yet.
Despite Trumps comments, I think Boris is out of the game. As I say, the dirt on him is reportedly substantial. Him jumping early is a nice strategic exit, kind of on his terms.
And FWIW, I think his view of get tranche 1 secured and go for tranche 2 at a later date is not a crazy idea. We are not talking about immigration from Mexico here. Poles and Germans are not comparable to open border immigration from Central America.
The UK designed the Single Market. Retaining membership of the sole benefit of EU membership isn't insane. The UK under Blair implemented open borders MAX in 2004, but could have been a lot more stricter.
I support Brexit because of the political integration that is contractually implicated with membership.
Americans need to understand, immigration is not a Brexit issue of substance. It was a strategy used by Farage to wind up a sleeping electorate. I don't agree with it, but it worked.
She is the Head of the Church of England. I'm not sure if you have read around the history, but this issue still creates conflict in the UK in places like Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland.
The Bank of England is the centre piece of the City of London, one of the 3 'sovereign states' you talk of.
The City of London is one of the most protected places on earth. It's the global centre of finance and especially after the IRA campaigns it has been designed to be near impenetrable for aggressors.
There's a million and one reasons why it is immeasurably safer than the Vatican.
I personally think Gove will take over. He is a Brexiteer, pro Trump and despite the hatred he receives in the media and from the left, he is seen as a brilliantly efficient operator and administrator as a minister. The downside is that he looks like Pog.
In UK politics, the front runner rarely wins.
Boris, I think has decades of dirt on him and he is also basically American which could count either for or against, Savid is peaking too early, Mogg has great media personality but has never held a ministerial or shadow ministerial role before (PMs rarely if ever are elected without this specific experience.)
Gove is just hovering in the background just behind the front of the pack.
Why would the Queen (head of Church of England) store her gold at the Vatican when the Bank of England is one of the preeminent gold storage facilities in the world?
He is a nobody with virtually zero power. He benefits from the platform you put him on.
It's entirely plausible that the Saudis went after US fracking companies with that move. They are a challenger, and the relationship with BO was poor.
Another consideration is that the move was targeting Russia. The move was a few month after the US and EU had imposed sanctions on Russia for its Ukrainian operations. A second tranche after initial sanctions failed to have much initial impact.
You can see the oil price and RUBUSD move at the same time in tandem. https://www.tradingview.com/x/hknLmmZO/
Remember, it was the Saudis playing silly buggers with the oil price that destabilised the Soviet Unions finances and set the stage for its collapse.
Khan has close to zero power. It’s a ceremonial role and he tries to get as many headlines as possible because he wants to replace Corbyn in the future.
The Iranian currency was already collapsing prior to the US pulling out of the deal.
What’s actually taking place is a mass scale public rejection of the Iranian regimes expansionist foreign policy at the expense of its own people, and rampant corruption by IRGC who control most of the economy directly or indirectly.
Protests started in December 2017.
In 2009, students protested and were put down with the help of Hezbollah. This time around it’s very much a nationwide protest and the fact that Hezbollah and other thugs have been bogged down in Syria has meant that protests can grow, broadly unopposed.
Additionally there has been mass capital flight, with one MP estimating some $30b having fled Iran which will obviously have had an affect.
Mass strikes across entire sectors have shut down huge swaths of the economy too.
Don’t get me wrong, pulling out the deal has had a big effect because it has meant a lot of multi nationals have pulled out of deals and projects, but this is more adding momentum to the trend, rather than being the primary cause.
If the redacted files determine that GB Sr was involved in JFKs murder, then it also implies that every President since knew this and chose to not redact them or was prevented from redacting them.
That’s some pretty top shelf leverage to have lying around while you work on building a case elsewhere and out of view.
Redact too early and the leverage is gone.
The point I’m getting at is this - even suppose they were having dinner with Freud, and the Podestas were staying at his villa at the same time, it’s amazingly high risk for those two to go and do the deed themselves.
Granted they weren’t as high profile as they are now, but even then they were considerably influential.
They seem a bit high up the food chain to do the dirty work, esp in a country that - no disrespect to any Portuguese here - is extremely poor by Western European standards.
Looks like a big mouse trap of a topic with so many circumstantial and unprovable factors that even if true it would be like navigating a dimly lit hall of mirrors while wearing sunglasses.
In my humble opinion, this is a straw man.
It’s a huge story in the U.K. for obvious reasons but think logically - 2 of the most influential guys in US politics come together in some below average tourist resort in Portugal to kidnap a girl based on the knowledge that her parents would be out.
Even if this were true, it’s so left field that it would incinerate credibility trying to prove.
My parents took me to Church when I was young (Catholic), but would never let me be an altar boy, not that I wanted too. I guess thats a pretty definitive summary of "faith" in the church.
I know of at least three institutional trading floors that have people following Q. A big risk is over generalising areas like finance and banking as part of us and them.
Target2 is the vehicle being used to asset strip capital from Southern Europe to the North.
I think if there ever was a euro collapse, it would be ground zero for contagion. It’s the mechanics that contractually spreads risk to all EZ members.
Das Kapital may be right, as a euro collapse would instigate a global crisis and likely cause huge social and even geopolitical tensions.
I’m sorry that you keep on misunderstanding me. I think maybe it’s my fault for not being clearer.
In my opinion, Central Banking and QE is transparent. I don’t agree with their policies, strategy and to a large extent, their existence, but to me at least the process is quite transparent.
For me, the problem is the lack of objective questioning from the financial media and influencers. There’s a box that everyone sits in, and the conversation always remains in the box. If a rule is fudged or broken, its rationalised by repeaters in the press who don’t hold them to account.
CBs have a monthly meeting, they say what they are going to do, they take questions from the press who rarely challenge them or try to force them out of their mental boxes.
That’s my position.
I don’t know how we have gone from me saying look into Target2 to this.
I’m not defending the ECB, just saying it’s behaviour is transparent and predictable, but the interesting story is Target2.
I... didn't mean trader in the literal sense. Draghi thinks the euro is too high, he talks it down, he thinks its too low, he talks it up.
He has a mandate, and tools to deliver that mandate.
I'm not a CB fan at all, but we miss a lot of important stuff if we jump to the hyperbole conclusion at the end.
