US Senator, Lindsey Graham has died suddenly at the age of 71. It has been reported he had a heart attack about 24-hours after arriving home from a visit to Ukraine. Pundits are speculating that Russia or Iran somehow got to him.
A lot going on now, once again it's hard to keep up.
First, we had Joe Biden clearly suffering from dementia, and now people are pointing out that Donald Trump is also suffering. He's about the same age as his father, Fred Trump, when he had dementia.
So, who is in charge?
A Japanese newspaper illustrates the left vs right of US politics, who populates each side, what they consume and what they represent. Is this accurate?
US Senator Ron Johnson discusses the urgent call for Nuremberg Trials 2.0, as well as the medical mafia currently in charge of scientific "truth"...
“One of the reasons the Nuremberg trials were made possible is because Eisenhower made sure the camps were exposed…and those horrors were revealed to the world. That’s why the first step here is exposure.” -Senator Ron Johnson
Newly-elected Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) on Friday signed an executive order terminating all five existing orders on Covid.
“In Arkansas, we will not have mask or vaccine mandates. We will not shut down churches or schools. And we will move beyond COVID.” Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.
“I stand for freedom and it’s time to get back to normal.” she added.
Is this when Joe Biden is placed to one side so that Kamala Harris can become America's first female President? This move against him seems prompted by his indicating he was going to run again in 2024. Err, that hasn't gone down well...
There is a meme going round, have you seen Joe Biden?
Well, on the television I've seen him climbing the steps to Air Force 1 and walking across the White House lawn to Marine 1. Those are what you may call public sightings. But the rest have all been all indoors, whether it's at the State Department, or one on one with a reporter. Why no press conference on the front lawn of the White House? Ever seen him waving from a limo as it passes by?
We find ourselves in a very strange place here. Biden is meant to be more open, the bringer of peace and tranquillity, a new future. Seems instead he's the most exclusive, more like a king than a US president.
Commentators discussing what is happening with the market activism surrounding companies such as GameStop are missing the point. These investors punishing Wall Street aren't young tech savvy individuals trying to bring down the system. No, they're older investors, likely Trump supporters using the money they would otherwise have spent at casinos in Las Vegas or Atlantic City, to get even. They're going after all those companies that backed Biden and put him in the White House.
There are lists going around of which companies to support and which ones to sell. You may be aware that Twitter has shown volatility, especially right after they purged any active centre/right viewpoints. Well, I checked out a previous list to see if GameStop is listed and found it was, check out this list of companies to hurt for backing Antifa and the BLM organisation:
269 Companies Supporting Antifa and BLM
GameStop is at number 90 on the list. This can't be a coincidence. What is happening is that groups of investors are targeting any company they see as supporting 'the other side.' They may be small investors individually, but put a few million of them together and now you suddenly have real grunt. With GameStop they're actually buying its stock, knowing they'll blow their money, to hurt the institutions shorting the stock but also bringing GameStop into focus, which will eventually result in its failure. For these activists, a win/win.
Who is to blame for all this? Wall Street and Big Tech is of course, and all those who used their companies to police how people think. They got involved in politics - big mistake. The cost of all this will be monumental. We are talking trillions at stake. How so? Well, all those tracking funds are automated to follow the market and this new kind of volatility will result in financial carnage as these systems try to adjust to this kind of random investor activism. 2021 just became very interesting indeed.
