Since September 12, 2001, I’ve believed that Flight 93 crashed into a field outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania not because the passengers revolted against the hijackers, but because the United States military shot the plane down. Man, we didn’t have cool places like that to walk to when I lived there.Ĭonspiracy theories, here’s one I buy. It wasn’t the absurdity of the story that caught my eye, but the location of Comet Ping Pong. Apparently, Comet Ping Pong was ground-zero for an international child sex-trafficking ring. In 2016, alt-right internet chatter convinced Edgar Welch to burst into Comet Ping Pong, a pizzeria in Washington, DC with guns a-blazing, planning to rescue the children that Hillary Clinton and her cronies locked in the restaurant’s basement.
Q now posts on 8chan, and continues to reveal details about this massive conspiracy, and the coming “Storm”-a mass arrest of the thousands of Democrats, world leaders and film-industry professionals that comprise this cabal.Īctually, I followed this story closely when it first broke. The world would be ignorant of this behind-the-scenes battle were it not for “Q.” Q is the poster who broke the story on the now defunct right-wing web platform 4chan. They would have continued ruling the world, were it not for the election of Donald Trump. QAnon, summarized from Wikipedia: There is a worldwide cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles who rule the world and control everything. Those QAnon links, I ignored them for months. The only news I read is what I click on from the Washington Post and CNN websites. And my commute takes about five minutes, so I don’t really listen to the news on the radio either. Are you following the news story? I just started last month. Now it’s my turn.ĭo you follow Q? Not follow like an adherent, not one of those people at a Trump rally holding up a QAnon placard above their bright, red MAGA hat. But her blog became a steady stream of posts espousing various conspiracy theories. I counted her as one of my favorite blogging friends. She wrote inventive poetry and gut-wrenching prose about her childhood spent with her physically abusive father. A couple of months ago I unfollowed a blogger. I hope our relationship survives, yours and mine. Thank you for your readership.ĭistracting Spectacles Weekend Overview and Analysi.Russian bots swarming the internet, intent on disrupting our election I wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season.
Markets are closing at 1pm EST today and will be closed for the full session tomorrow. It's just that many market players will not fully realize this until the first quarter of 2021 is a few weeks deep. In the near-term, they are.īut a cursory glance at the long-term BABA chart shows the internet giant is one of many steep chart which could easily already be in correction. Shares of BABA are spiking below its 200-day moving average and they sure may seem very oversold. Speaking of securities regulation, BABA is down nearly 16% on news of its own government going after it on antitrust issues. Until that happens, we could be in for roughly more of the same in 2021, albeit with some likely sector rotation already underway. If you disagree with my point on crypto, consider what happened to Ripple (XRP) just the week: Do you, honestly, truly, not think the SEC could do the same to other cryptos if need be? As I have discussed before, in spite of Bitcoin and the crypto emergence, the only thing which can truly halt The Fed is the bond market-Old-fashioned vigilantes effectively raising rates on our beloved Central Bankers. And many highly educate and highly intelligent people can point to their policies as having "saved the world" many times over since 2008, most recently back in March of this year. Right now, The Fed seems like they own the universe. The market is flipping red as I write this, with a shortened Christmas Eve session likely being all the liquidity-driven excuses needed for some mild profit-taking and a general respite from a fast and furious bull market.
