"The Storm Is Coming! Get Prepared For A Catastrophic Stock Market Crash"

"The Storm Is Coming! 

Get Prepared For A Catastrophic Stock Market Crash"

by Epic Economist

"Warnings that the stock market bubble is about to burst are becoming increasingly more frequent amongst experts as the GameStop rally has intensified asset overpricing tendencies that have been making the current stock valuations extremely unsustainable. Doomsday predictions for a sharp market correction were already popping way before the whole battle between online investors and hedge funds had started, but now several signs are pointing out to an imminent and violent crash that is likely to suddenly happen, sparking even more chaos in Wall Street. That's what we investigate in this video.

Over the past weeks, several market and industry experts have been publishing an alarming number of convincing statistics and arguments that stock markets worldwide are in a dangerous ‘bubble’ territory. As stock prices are now trading at unsustainably high levels, particularly driven by investors' unreasonably rosy expectations for a V-shaped economic recovery, but when those expectations start to be crushed by the real facts, prices will return to normal, violently collapsing in the process. 

After a record rebound from a health-crisis-induced market crash last March, most stock benchmarks around the world have registered new record-highs in the early days of 2021. However, as stock prices continue to climb, numerous top banks are getting increasingly worried this unprecedented boom, which considerably resembles the dot-com bubble, will result in a similar bust. At this point, stock prices are truly at what experts define an "insanely high" level. Almost every research and analysis using price-based indicators are signaling that the bubble continues to grow, and the larger the bubble, the steepest the crash. 

Traditionally, a stock market bubble is formed when investors get overly optimistic about a new development or possibility, which then prompts fast price surges as they pump money into these stocks. Oftentimes, caution is thrown to the wind and a speculative frenzy starts supported by future prospects for that asset that might never come true. Right now, the leading stocks in the market are Facebook, Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and they account for 24% of the index, and the reality of it is they don’t really participate in the reopening of the economy per se. Those stocks are already trading at extremely high multiples. They’ve got regulation issues coming down the pipeline and the reality of it is they’ve benefited the most from us being locked inside.

One of the most alarming pieces of evidence pointing out to an excessive market speculation is the fact the Tesla shares are trading at unprecedented highs while there's no guarantee the company's future growth will match investors expectations. Even though some may defend that risk in the markets has vanished due to the latest bullish run, bubble markets often present bizarre behavior right before they collapse. The current rally is very similar to what was witnessed during the dot-com crash of the late 1990s, when stocks have sharply risen and then dramatically fell. In recent days, global stocks have been facing extra pressure as millions of online investors gathered up to send the share prices of the unprofitable U.S. video game store chain GameStop to sky highs.

One of the world's top market experts, Mohamed El-Erian said that there will be "serious and widespread unintended consequences" if global output fails to return to pre-virus levels. He stressed that there is "no doubt" that company valuations have become "massively disconnected" from the economy, and if the crash doesn't happen as a result of the investor frenzy, the current bubble will certainly pop if the economy fails to catch up with record-breaking valuations. Mr El-Erian added that the staggering amount of stimulus money unleashed by governments and central banks is inflating shares instead of boosting the economy. 

Furthermore, the US Securities and Exchange Commission came reported that "extreme stock price volatility" has the potential to cause "rapid and severe losses" for investors and to undermine market confidence. On every front we look, there are several warnings that the markets are hanging by a thread and could collapse with the blink of an eye. As Richter outlines in his article, the stock market has been broken for a long time, but now it has finally blown into the open for all to see. The growing risks, speculation, manipulation, and frenzy are spiraling out of control and soon we will be witnessing an astronomical explosion that will reset the course of the financial markets for once and for all."

"A Look to the Heavens"

“These three bright nebulae are often featured in telescopic tours of the constellation Sagittarius and the crowded starfields of the central Milky Way. In fact, 18th century cosmic tourist Charles Messier cataloged two of them; M8, the large nebula left of center, and colorful M20 on the right. The third, NGC 6559, is above M8, separated from the larger nebula by a dark dust lane. All three are stellar nurseries about five thousand light-years or so distant.

The expansive M8, over a hundred light-years across, is also known as the Lagoon Nebula. M20's popular moniker is the Trifid. Glowing hydrogen gas creates the dominant red color of the emission nebulae, with contrasting blue hues, most striking in the Trifid, due to dust reflected starlight. The colorful skyscape recorded with telescope and digital camera also includes one of Messier's open star clusters, M21, just above the Trifid.”

"When I heard the learn’d astronomer,

When the proofs, the figures, were ranged

in columns before me,

When I was shown the charts and diagrams,

to add, divide, and measure them,

When I sitting heard the astronomer where

he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,

How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,

Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,

In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,

Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars."

"Never Forget..."

"Take risks! That is really what life is about. We must pursue our own happiness. Nobody has ever lived our lives; there are no guidelines. Trust your instincts. Accept nothing but the best. But then also look for it carefully. Don't allow it to slip between your fingers. Sometimes, good things come to us in a such a quiet fashion. And nothing comes complete. It is what we make of whatever we encounter that determines the outcome. What we choose to see, what we choose to save. And what we choose to remember. Never forget that all the love in your life is there, inside you, always."

Paulo Coelho, "The Bird And The Cage"

"The Bird And The Cage"

by Paulo Coelho

"Once upon a time, there was a bird. He was adorned with two perfect wings and with glossy, colorful, marvelous feathers. One day, a woman saw this bird and fell in love with him. She invited the bird to fly with her, and the two travelled across the sky in perfect harmony. She admired and venerated and celebrated that bird. But then she thought: He might want to visit far-off mountains! And she was afraid, afraid that she would never feel the same way about any other bird.

And she thought: “I’m going to set a trap. The next time the bird appears, he will never leave again.” The bird, who was also in love, returned the following day, fell into the trap and was put in a cage. She looked at the bird every day. There he was, the object of her passion, and she showed him to her friends, who said: “Now you have everything you could possibly want.”

However, a strange transformation began to take place: now that she had the bird and no longer needed to woo him, she began to lose interest. The bird, unable to fly and express the true meaning of his life, began to waste away and his feathers to lose their gloss; he grew ugly; and the woman no longer paid him any attention, except by feeding him and cleaning out his cage.

One day, the bird died. The woman felt terribly sad and spent all her time thinking about him. But she did not remember the cage, she thought only of the day when she had seen him for the first time, flying contentedly amongst the clouds. If she had looked more deeply into herself, she would have realized that what had thrilled her about the bird was his freedom, the energy of his wings in motion, not his physical body.

Without the bird, her life too lost all meaning, and Death came knocking at her door. “Why have you come?” she asked Death. “So that you can fly once more with him across the sky,” Death replied. “If you had allowed him to come and go, you would have loved and admired him ever more; alas, you now need me in order to find him again.”

"The Truth Virus: The Most Dangerous Virus in the World"

"The Truth Virus:

The Most Dangerous Virus in the World"

by Dog Poet

"I’ve got a virus. It doesn’t have a common name because it isn’t a common virus. It’s difficult to catch this virus because there are only so many ways for it to enter your system. You can catch it as a result of extreme trauma which results in all of your defenses being shut down. This includes all subconscious resistance and all systemic defenses. You can catch it as a result of long term abuse. This includes abuse visited upon you or abuse you visit on yourself. Often this abuse comes about because the virus is already looking for a foothold and it will attract one of these two kinds of abuse. You can catch it through diligent and repeated efforts to catch it, in an environment of quietude, created by a relentless persistence of the mind to cease from the production of thought. There are a few other ways.

Once you’ve got this virus there’s no cure for it. Every cell in your body is going to be replaced and the world will gradually- and sometimes not so gradually- take on the appearance of an insane asylum, while also becoming remarkably predictable. People think insanity is unpredictable but that’s just one of the illusions that are part of the ordinary mindset of the collectively insane.

People who have this virus can understand one another without having to say anything at all and if they should speak they are also understood by people who are vulnerable to this virus. This is one of the ways that the virus spreads. The impact of the virus speaking induces trauma that naturally moves toward the extreme. People who do not have the virus- and who are not susceptible to catching it- will not understand a single word being said. It will make them uncomfortable and sometimes it will make them angry but at no time will it be understood.

There’s a lot of news, noise and argument about Howdy Doody’s comprehensive health plan for the Teletubbies. Most people think that some permutation of universal health care is going to be a major step up for American society. They seem to think that having it is somehow going to lead to a more general state of well being among the population. There are several reasons why this isn’t going to make the slightest difference no matter what kind of a program finally gets decided on.

It doesn’t really matter whether you can see a doctor of your choice or not and have some amount of it paid for. It isn’t going to have any positive effect on your health. Health is the result of a few basic things and one of them is youth. The other things are diet and ones mental and emotional state. An awareness of ones relationship to all of these leads to making the right decisions about how one lives their life. A conscious awareness of diet has a profound effect on one’s well being. One’s mental and emotional states also play significant roles. One needs only to study how many stress-related diseases there are to understand this. If you factor bad diet into unbalanced mental and emotional states you’ve got a problem no doctor can deal with, especially if your medical system is of the allopathic variety.

The people who decide what doctors can and cannot do and what doctors can and cannot tell you are permanent bed-partners with various corporations for whom good health is a bad thing. These are the pharmaceutical concerns; the AMA, the hospital equipment industry and related suppliers of related products. These corporations have another relationship with the various food industries in the sense that they will not write or permit policy that impinges on major enterprises that bring you processed foods, fast foods, mystery meats, candy and soft drinks and whatever else hides under that umbrella. What this means is that, according to the capitalist mentality that rules this society, it is possible; it has to be possible and it damn well will be possible to eat anything you want, avoid exercise and generally break any and every rule of intelligent behavior and if there’s a problem they will either cut it out of you or suppress the symptoms until they have to cut it out of you.

Because the will of corporations is the rule of the land, there will be no change in the profit line for participating corporations. What will change will be the language that the non-change is presented in. To see into the black heart of the system in charge of American life you have only to look into the prison industry where 5% of the American public and 25% of the world’s prison population are incarcerated in American prisons. Why is this? It’s a business. Is it coincidence that America uses 60% of the world’s resources as well?

The unstated objective of American society is that a small percentage of its members shall possess the greatest amount of wealth at the expense of everyone else and will then be lauded for their efforts to assist the less fortunate where no such efforts exist. Such a system cannot survive and will not survive and is presently at the state where a number of shell games are being used to give the impression that the system is doing fine and going to get better as it approaches the lip of a high cliff. As things begin to fall from the cliff, you will see charts and graphs appear that indicate the true state and direction of the culture and economy but they will probably be holding these charts and graphs upside down.

I see these things and many other things because I have this virus. Others have this virus too and many more are on the verge of infection. The biggest concern of the TPTB is the proliferation of this virus. Their concern about all other viruses, which they manufactured to begin with, is just Slim Shady dining at the Red Herring Restaurant.

With this virus I can see that the appetites and desires being milked by corporations in order to promote and sell their products leads directly to aberrant behavior which leads to the prison industry for those who are not making the laws that route the unfortunate toward the prison or the grave with that long interlude of enslavement at the looping track of life where they chase the uncatchable dream rabbit that is already steaming in the pot of their betters.

With this virus I can look directly at the lies of politicians and religious leaders and hear the truth that spotlights the pies around the corner and their relationship to the pies in the sky which are moving on conveyor belts behind unbreakable Plexiglas. I can see that there are no pies because the pies are only video projections of pies bounced off of a series of mirrors. I can see the people who do no have the virus and I can see the world they are looking at and it turns out that this world is also just a projection bouncing off of mirrors and one of those mirrors is their minds. These projections then activate the furnace in the visceral brain which causes those without the virus to dance like millions of chickens on a hot griddle that somehow got the impression that they are auditioning for American Idol.

It is not possible to create a society, based on the principles that some of us have read and most of us have heard about, when corporations are the ruling authority of the land, because the intent of a corporation is diametrically opposed to the principles that some of us have read and most of us have heard about. You can’t make Beef Stroganoff out of pork rinds and Velveeta but you can convince people that that is what they are eating and that is the point.

There’s a debate that has been going around since Cain brained Abel and that debate centers on whether it is better to have this virus or some form of all the other viruses. The awareness that comes with having this virus can lead to the rack, the auto da fe and other less pleasant locations. Having the other viruses can lead to being a hamster or some part of a compost pile and a fire burns there as well. They can lead to being cannon fodder and the merciless hands of those who practice a form of medicine that has little to do with the stated intentions of the art. The hands of these practitioners are often more dangerous than the problem that brought you there.

Most people spend more than ninety percent of everything they have saved in their lives in the last year of their life on an industry whose purpose is exactly for that reason.

This virus of mine- and perhaps you have it too- is not an easy burden to bear. You can never pull the covers over your head again. You know there’s no monster in the closet but you also know where the real monsters dwell. You are doomed to an unending quarantine even as you move among your fellows. One thing you do acquire as a result of this virus is compassion and, as Lao Tzu said long ago, “Compassion is a weapon from the sky against being dead.” Realization may not be all the things we imagine it to be, but it is preferable to the restless sleep of nightmares wielded by the whip hand of psychopaths."

If you know, you know...

"For Nothing Is Fixed..."

"For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out."

- James Baldwin

The Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke, "Book of Hours II, 16"

"Book of Hours II, 16"

"How surely gravity's law,

strong as an ocean current,

takes hold of even the strongest thing

and pulls it toward the heart of the world.

Each thing-

each stone, blossom, child-

is held in place.

Only we, in our arrogance,

push out beyond what we belong to

for some empty freedom.

If we surrendered

to earth's intelligence

we could rise up rooted, like trees.

Instead we entangle ourselves

in knots of our own making

and struggle, lonely and confused.

So, like children, we begin again

to learn from the things,

because they are in God's heart;

they have never left him.

This is what the things can teach us:

to fall,

patiently to trust our heaviness.

Even a bird has to do that

before he can fly."

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

"Clarity In Trump's Wake"

"Clarity In Trump's Wake"

by Angelo Codevilla

"Either the Constitution matters and must be followed... or it is simply a piece of parchment on display at the National Archives."

- Texas v. Pennsylvania et al.

"Texas v. Pennsylvania et al. did not deny setting rules for the 2020 election contrary to the Constitution. On December 10, 2020, the Supreme Court discounted that. By refusing to interfere as America’s ruling oligarchy serves itself, the court archived what remained of the American republic’s system of equal justice. That much is clear.

In 2021, the laws, customs, and habits of the heart that had defined the American republic since the 18th century are things of the past. Americans’ movements and interactions are under strictures for which no one ever voted. Government disarticulated society by penalizing ordinary social intercourse and precluding the rise of spontaneous opinion therefrom. Together with corporate America, it smothers minds through the mass and social media with relentless, pervasive, identical, and ever-evolving directives. In that way, these oligarchs have proclaimed themselves the arbiters of truth, entitled and obliged to censor whoever disagrees with them as systemically racist, adepts of conspiracy theories. 

Corporations, and the government itself, require employees to attend meetings personally to acknowledge their guilt. They solicit mutual accusations. While violent felons are released from prison, anyone may be fired or otherwise have his life wrecked for questioning government/corporate sentiment. Today’s rulers don’t try to convince. They demand obedience, and they punish.

Russians and East Germans under Communists Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker in the 1970s lived under less ruling class pressure than do today’s Americans. And their rulers were smart enough not to insult them, their country, or their race.

In 2015, Americans could still believe they lived in a republic, in which life’s rules flow from the people through their representatives. In 2021, a class of rulers draws their right to rule from self-declared experts’ claims of infallibility that dwarf baroque kings’ pretensions. In that self-referential sense, the United States of America is now a classic oligarchy.

The following explains how this change happened. The clarity that it has brought to our predicament is its only virtue."

"GameStop Was A Warning: They Are Weaponizing Censorship To Keep Outsiders Out"

"GameStop Was A Warning: 

They Are Weaponizing Censorship To Keep Outsiders Out"

by Epic Economist

It's not news that the financial system is extremely rigged, but the battle between Reddit Raiders vs. hedge funds has uncovered a much darker reality behind the scenes of Wall Street. The unprecedented restrictions imposed on the trading of GameStop stocks were just a warning. The elites are using their influence to weaponize censorship to keep outsiders out of the markets. It's systemic: the average American is doomed to failure, while the establishment will, of course, always win. Evidently, the ultra-wealthy wouldn't be happy seeing a handful of young online traders profiting from a game created to keep concentrating power on the hands of the powerful while also standing up against institutionalized speculation and the widespread manipulation of the stock markets. The elites are prepared to smash the WallStreetBets' movement and destroy its participants one by one. That's what we expose in this video. 

The founder of Yammer, Craft Ventures, and co-founder of PayPal, David Sacks has recently published an excellent article arguing why the trading ban on GameStop stocks was just a warning coming from the elites. The first issue for the online traders’ group occurred when the digital distribution platform Discord banned the WallStreetBets account after the close Wednesday accusing the group of promoting “hate speech, glorifying violence, and spreading misinformation". At the same time, WallStreetBets investors faced yet another coup. As of Thursday morning, they were locked out of their trading accounts by several online brokerage firms, including Robinhood. Needless to say, that provoked a major backlash and enraged users began registering their discontentment by leaving over 100,000 one-star reviews of the Robinhood app in the Google Play Store, but Google deleted them. 

Keeping in mind that those investors were clumsy outsiders, their primary tools to keep the movement running were online trading and social networking, but both were halted during the peak of the market frenzy, while hedge fund insiders were let off the hook. That is censorship plain and simple, being weaponized to shut up dissonant voices. Currently, tech companies have all the power on their hands, and they benefit from it as much as they can. So whenever is convenient to shutdown a platform, a forum, an account, or whatever means are used to express varying opinions, they will do it on a finger-snap. At a time when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ted Cruz voice similar concerns over what happened to WallStreetBets, we should all be realizing that this isn't a political issue of Left vs. Right anymore. We're now talking about the force of insiders vs. outsiders. 

What social media provided to outsiders was the opportunity to organize themselves so that their actions could have real power to effect change, and also to express their disgust and expose the way incompetent elites protect each other. That's why the elites of Big Business, Big Media, Wall Street, and Washington are completely panicked about the Reddit movement and are willing to leverage any censorship power to keep the outsiders away. 

Radio host Rush Limbaugh has also recently that the establishment will always censor or cancel anything that doesn’t match with the interests of the ruling class, whether it’s free speech or even attitude. Apparently, right now the elite's biggest fear is social media. For that reason, we constantly see them targeting whatever groups disrupt the status quo by accusing them without evidence of spreading hate and misinformation, just like they did with WallStreetBets. Wall Street has just felt the power that organized social networks can have and how, for the first in history, people can find loopholes in the system created by the elites to infiltrate into it and threaten to take over control. Thanks to social media, the outsiders are threatening to seize the Tower for themselves, and the insiders have never been more terrified."
