This is of course perfectly normal in markets. People are always arranging sales to get the worst possible price. They’re just very, very silly like that.
It’s not like markets aren’t real and you can just click a mouse and set the price anywhere you want. …That’s every other market.
Then they recover almost immediately as rigging things costs (money) energy while leaving them alone happens naturally. Therefore a “Crash” is when you stop rigging and get real prices.

“Microsoft AI CEO Warns Most White Collar Jobs Fully Automated “Within Next 12-18 Months”; Anthropic Fears Potential For ‘Heinous Crimes’
Every employee on earth will be unemployed by Christmas, and there will be no other changes, but total success. Is this anything like every other Microsoft promise? Like not to break Notepad and open it to every hacker on earth for no reason whatsoever?
Right. Where do I bet $1,000 on the Under on this?
Where do I bet $1,000 that IF you could do this – which you can’t – nearly everything done by it would irrevocably break? Okay, there’s also this thing called “The Real World”? So you logged on to Grok and now ask 500 questions a day per 80 Million individual people-employees? Maybe…that takes some Electricity and server time? Like 100x what we have built yet? And WHO is asking the question? There’s no employees, remember? Who’s logging on to Grok? You? Okay, Grok just gave you the answer: who implements it? Oh we saw that in Walmart, firing all the middle managers? Great at first: when the floor doesn’t STOCK the displays the way Grok told them, who knows? Who checks? Who fires them for not doing it? And who checks that the reason they didn’t is because you told them to build it on the ceiling not the floor, then didn’t ship the cardboard slips to build it, but they have no one to tell?
Like self-checkout, this works until everyone realizes no one’s watching. Then who cares?

“U.S. Military’s SECRET SUPERWEAPON Exposed – China PANICS
David Hookstead•32K views•1 hour agoHere, we post complete and utter nonsense from every other YouTube channel that’s been wrong every week. Why not spin the wheel and post this wrong one too? Let’s post all the wrong ones! Since we don’t care about Truth and Merit or nothin’.
I’m sure with AI I can find a thousand other completely random, incorrect opinions in seconds. BTW, the “Superweapon” is a tiny, tiny rocket. Not even the size of a mortar. Size doesn’t matter, they say. We probably have ten of them for testing and none for use. China is quailing in terror.
“Goldman Sacks Ruemmler As Epstein Scandal Claims Obama’s Former Lawyer
I am amazed and confused what makes this. Since it’s not “Being in the files” or “Having committed crimes.” Apparently those two facts have little to do with the consequences. Neither is “Being in power” as Epstein was at his height of the circle when he was arrested, convicted, and imprisoned (except on weekends and most other times). So SOMEBODY was out there, doing something, for some reason, or even that wouldn’t have happened.
So focus on that part: WHY, HOW, are there any consequences for the few who were? Then how do we expand that to the many, many more who richly deserve it? Why this poor sap (she’s a woman?) and not others? “Power” certainly, but what IS “Power” in that case? Not money. Gates has that. Not connection, Jeffy had that. What?

“Judge Boasberg Orders Government To Facilitate Return Of Deported Venezuelans

“US Forces Pull Out Of Syria’s Tanf Base, Hand Over To Jolani Regime
Remote southern Syrian outpost played key role in Assad’s ouster…Or phrased more correctly, in handing the country from a diverse, stable, elected leader to a mass-murdering ISIS general. Just as they promised was the goal in 2002. Mission Accomplished.
Again, not the Babylon Bee. And no one notices.
“Federal Judge Blocks Hegseth’s Censure of Sen. Mark Kelly
Judges now run the Military. This also just happened with Fani, who is in a similar lawsuit. “Yes but what IS a ‘Prosecutor’” she asks philosophically, “What IS a ‘Payment’ really? What is a ‘Boyfriend’?” How are they similar? The Law covering both says you can’t do crimes…but you also cannot have the APPEARANCE of crimes. Because that undermines faith in the office itself, and it’s 250 years old if not older. We didn’t just invent this for Fani and Kelly (and Jackson) the way we invented the Logan Act, which although passed no one dared attempt until Orange Man.
Kelly also knows this because no other general ever tried it before and no others next to him tried it even today.
So this judge overturned 250 years of settled law, or indeed 500 or 1,000 years.
“Russia to Send Oil to Cuba Amid US-Imposed Blockade

Government hasn’t followed the law since it was invented. The people barely follow the law either. So: always I guess? Make Me. The weird part is that modern people believe law exists despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and so long as they believe that and follow it, it’s easy to pick up and enforce on the few resistors. (viz. Me)
The only “Law” is POWER. It’s enforcing it by shooting people, and having people shot on your behalf, like Boasberg does. They are very, very, very pro-shooting.
“Thus, while I know it is vitally important that the SAVE Act passes, I also don’t imagine it will fix the problem of widespread Democrat election cheating right away. Democrat officials won’t submit to that law any more than they do the other federal laws they don’t like.”
Yes, but we have a problem. If we flipped it in seconds, we’d have to admit no election has been legit for years, decades, since 2000 recount, and all the laws aren’t either. Then the U.S. bond market and the U.S. collapses for being honest. Checkmate. So if you take the OTHER way, of NOT losing, then you have to put up with the same level of crime and now – but slightly less – while you make constant, incremental gains in the other direction. This is what we learned from the 1860 Civil War and doing things the “Right” way.
The Right (but not Republicans?) of course are made of personalities like mine that would rather wreck the world overnight and get it over with quickly. So this author is in favor of destroying everything by admitting everything…and then the Democrats win. That’s Russian Rev 2.0. The U.S. falls, and after us, the world. No.

“Trump slashed federal jobs by over 360,000 – lowest share of the workforce since 1966!”
I doubt this, and it’s not even a “Good Start” as we’ve heard 30 MILLION employees (possibly including State) and a great majority of them are Contractors (or soldiers). Fewer ACTUAL is less oversight for the contractors, which is also a hazard to cure. So if we have so many fewer, why is the budget in Trillions and rising? C’mon. It’s a good move, but don’t ignore all the buffalo on the field here.
Ron Paul is just repeating what Ayn Rand said in 1949. It was always obvious, always. Then everything happened, we all pointed at it happening, and it kept happening. Yeah, that’s not an accident, they WANTED the U.S. this bad, crippled, violent, and divided. Okay, that tells you WHO those engineers are, doesn’t it? Or at least who it can’t be. …It can’t be “Americans”. Not even “bad” ones. Doing this undermines even the capacity of their evil.
Topcat: No I’d be thrilled if CEOs were arrested for illegal employment and recommend it. However, I’m also not a strategic idiot and destroying all U.S. production while making a mass frontal attack on one of his few allies is a way to certainly, definitely, decisively hand over the country, and the whole world, to child-raping Globalists.
But go ahead and do that if you feel the need to. On the local law, principles of justice, charging the Light Brigade into the Enemy fire on that hill certainly are your direct orders.
We must behave Idiotically and lose or we’re not the United States. Uhhh….No. I will NOT be doing that. Every one of these employers know which way the wind is blowing and are edging them out already. I know some. We can get rid of them in 6 minutes, and everything fails, all voters are pissed and shoot us, OR you can squeeze them out over 6 years and not even notice. All the new employees themselves are trained, all the old ones stock cash and fly back with the family boxed up neatly to Acapulco. We pay nothing in air fare and prison time.
This is of course, a terrible idea. Treason in fact. We must, MUST destroy everything, every Body, and lose instead. No thank you. So long as things are progressing in the right direction. Go ask your local employers if it is.
“Both groups faced brutal conditions, low pay, and dangerous work, with the two lines meeting in Utah in 1869.”
I love it when they say dumb s—t like this. ALL those guys could go be farm hands, no problem. They didn’t. Just as all factory workers in 1900 could. So what you’re saying is, this deadly, brutal work is still BETTER than being an average guy on the farm in 1869. (90% of the workforce) What’s the alternate argument? That they COULD work as a average farmhand and PREFER to be blown up on the side of some barren hill in Nevada? And this was the “brutality”. …Compared to WHAT, sir? Well, this was all written by college professors who never worked a day in their sorry lives, that’s what. They wrote it down and we all learned it and believed it for many years, and I did as well. That’s what makes me salty about it being so retarded.
“Massive buildup in Iran” DO they have 400,000 men there, with supplies, like we did in the Gulf War to invade a country a QUARTER of the size of Iran? No? Oh, then there’s no buildup at all, is there? “We Make S–t Up!”
U.S. moves a second – Sitting Duck – into the Gulf. Oh, right. So that’s probably not happening either.

ParticipantOn: The collapse of American Education, by PCR at top post.
This has been going on for a long time, a slow process, but ppl are waking up to it now. Note, the US does very badly in Intl’ stats (when it allows them to be published) because it is a country with long standing *high* immigration, and literacy and math tests in Eng. are depressed for such populations. Other countries have similar profiles, I’m not adressing that here, other issue.
The recent alarm is the result of poor investment in primary education (buildings, salaries, proper programs, books, transport, etc.), low school attendance in many places, aka high absenteeism, partly the result of the just mentioned, but also due to a disdain for the State system which perhaps in times past promised social advancement + interesting careers (e.g. science, ship building, telecoms, arts..) which can’t be accessed now by poorer ppl as those spots are reserved for the ‘Rich’ or ‘Immigrants’ (high and low, the middle squeeed out) via a brutal Social Stratification system. (The rich children go to private schools, etc.)
So what is the point of being a primary school teacher in the US? Horrific, a job to quit pronto.
What is the point of going to school for a boy of 12, to be given moronic pre-printed quizzes asking him to tick boxes if the ‘clue’ word ended with B? Being given ‘marks’ or passes on such tests? Alarming absurdity.

The Gerald Ford: 2nd US Aircraft Carrier Rerouted From Caribbean To Mideast As Iran In Crosshairs https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/2nd-us-aircraft-carrier-rerouted-caribbean-mideast-iran-tensions-mount
A US-led regime-change operation in Iran would be tantamount to a declaration of war on China and here’s why
China gets nearly 20 percent of its oil from Iran, and US threats of military action against Iran just prompted China to instruct its banks to dump U.S. treasuries, dealing another blow to the dollar.
International geopolitics is ruthless and cunning and is carried out with zero regard for human life or basic morals. It’s all about projecting power and grabbing resources.
If China sees Washington’s actions against Iran as a backdoor method of starving it’s fuel-dependent industrial base of needed energy resources, that’s likely to be interpreted by Beijing as a U.S. declaration of war.
Washington is risking the very real prospect that China may no longer see it in its interests to continue standing down in the face of increased U.S. aggression against its allies. It could afford to walk away from Venezuela, but can it afford to cut ties with Iran?
The question in Trump’s mind has to be churning: Do we really want to choke off oil supplies to China and drive the dragon further into the arms of the Russian bear?
Russia already has its hands full with Ukraine, a war that would have been over in a few weeks if not for all the weapons and money funneled to Ukraine by the U.S. and NATO. The U.S. has been sanctioning countries that buy Russian oil and now it appears ready to make a play for the oil that goes from Iran to China.
Washington has already backed Russia into a corner. Is China next?
It’s not like China lacks leverage over the U.S. It has non-military options to counter the West and will likely play those cards before doing anything militarily. China could cut off rare-earth supplies to the U.S. It could cut off the processing of vital medications like antibiotics, the majority of which come into the U.S. from China.
China can up its game in the realm of economic warfare and there are signs that’s exactly what it is doing.
In the latest shock move, Xi has ordered Chinese banks to dump U.S. treasuries. Major Chinese banks have already been dumping treasuries quietly but now they are going to officially and massively de-dollarize. This is also why China has been buying gold at an unprecedented rate.
The U.S., meanwhile, in an attempt to compensate for the loss of China’s appetite to fund U.S. debt, has been printing money to buy its own debt...
..The bottom line is this: There’s a big fight going on for global currency supremacy and a race to see who can control the most gold, minerals and oil resources...
..Could there be a comeuppance in 2026 with Iran serving as the place where the U.S. pushed the envelope too far, not just against Iran but China? … ..Trump has really backed himself into a corner. He has assembled a massive naval armada in the Persian Gulf region for the sole purpose of attacking Iran and changing out their regime.
He may prefer a negotiated “deal” that allows Iran’s regime to stay in place in exchange for certain concessions with regard to Iran’s support for anti-Israeli proxies and its crackdown on the protests in its own country. But then he has the Israelis to contend with. They are dead set on regime change and counting on Trump to carry it out for them. The neocons at home in Washington also are pressuring Trump to pull the trigger on a full-scale invasion of Iran, if that’s what it takes to remove the Islamic government from power. https://leohohmann.substack.com/p/a-us-led-regime-change-operationFebruary 13, 2026 at 3:43 pm #230800John Day

Carrie Prejean Boller, a Catholic conservative activist and model, took issue with the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, which has been embraced by the Trump administration’s Department of Justice and conflates criticism of the modern state of Israel with antisemitism.

Boller then pointed to her Catholic faith, which does not affirm the idea that the Jewish people have a divine right to historic Palestine. https://news.antiwar.com/2026/02/11/member-of-trumps-religious-liberty-commission-removed-after-questioning-claim-that-anti-zionism-is-antisemitic/ Massie Exposes Les Wexner As Epstein Co-Conspirator, Opening Door To Criminal Charges Against Kash Patel
While Wexner’s role in facilitating the crimes of Epstein has been well-established for years, the revelation that the FBI officially acknowledged him as a co-conspirator by 2019 dismantles the narrative woven by the Trump administration that it has not withheld the identities of any of the notorious pedophile’s accomplices. In September 2025, Patel ostensibly did just that when he testified before Congress regarding Epstein. During his testimony, Patel was asked “Who did Epstein traffic these young women to?” by Louisiana Senator John N. Kennedy. Patel responded, “Himself.” There is no credible information—none—that he trafficked to other individuals.” The revelation that the FBI had confirmed that Wexner was a co-conspirator of Epstein by 2019 suggests that Patel lied to Congress during his testimony. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/massie-exposes-les-wexner-epstein-co-conspirator-opening-door-criminal-charges-against Federal Judge Blocks Hegseth’s Censure Of Sen.

More pervasive control over people; Epstein’s extended project: Why governments insist on CBDCs or stablecoins when most people don’t want them
There will be two types of CBDCs: one to be used by populations and another to be used by states, banks, and large investment funds and corporations. The first kind is the “retail” CBDC, the one to be used by the population. It is essentially a control mechanism because currency ceases to have a nominal value and becomes a state-sanctioned token to be used when and how the state decides. It will also bring the end of anonymous payments and introduce automatic taxation, among other “liberating” features. From a state and central bank point of view, this is, of course, ideal.
The second type will be the “wholesale” CBDC, the one used by governments, banks, and transnational investment funds to settle their accounts. It will be built on the same blockchain foundation as retail CBDCs, but it will have certain features — like expiration dates and spending restrictions — turned off. It will function closer to current digital fiat currencies and, possibly, its strength will be based on the resources that determine its demand.
The result, essentially, will be two types of wealth: one held by elites — financial, military, technological, and political — who will end up controlling most assets, and one held by the population at large, which will be completely under elite control through military and surveillance technology.
CBDCs and stablecoins, however, will not, in a sense, create a new social dynamic, but rather crystallize the current trajectory. They will make it apparent that control of currency is power and that society is structured in a pyramidal form, with those who have access to currency creation at the top. Splitting money into two kinds only reaffirms this and creates a shield to ensure the continuation of elite rule over the population.
Elites in every field — financial, technological, military, or bureaucratic — will in effect become one, which, arguably, they already are. But what will determine relevance and status will be the ability to access non-fungible, non-programmable wealth. As this will create an almost total impossibility of upward mobility, these elites will become a close-knit network of wealth maintained through marriages (or reproductive agreements), inheritance, and mergers.
As financial technology demands growth, and monopolization is the logical path, the initially delimited areas where a digital currency is applicable will start merging into blocks. This is already happening. mBridge is a platform that is currently being developed by China, Thailand, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and, not surprisingly, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
The BIS is a supranational organization based in Basel that was set up in the interwar period of the 1930s and was essential in establishing the foundations — the rails — of the current financial system, and in coordinating monetary policy between Western central banks. What its involvement in this project signifies is that the core of the financial system — the financial “deep state,” if you will — is involved in the transition to the CBDC paradigm. It shows that despite geopolitical conflicts over resources, eastern, western, northern, and southern financial elites are moving in coordination towards it.
This was, perhaps, the logical development of the marriage between government and banking that happened in 1694, which gave birth to the Bank of England and the modern financial state. In England, and for the first time, the debt of the Sovereign had the conditions to become what became known as the National Debt — a concept whereby the debt incurred by the Sovereign no longer belongs to him, but to the entire nation…

Participant Successful contrarian investor, Hugh Hendry: “Modern Money Only Works By Cheating”: If You’re Long Bitcoin (Or Not Long Bitcoin), Read This…
Bitcoin exists not to replace fiat money but as a provocative “hard object” in an elastic monetary world. Modern fiat succeeds by cheating – deferring pain, socializing losses, and bending rules to absorb crises (Weimar rigidity led to hyperinflation; 1929 rigidity was abandoned for elasticity in the 1930s; 2008 and COVID responses bent rules to survive). Fiat buys time during trauma but creates ratcheting inflation that disproportionately burdens the asset-poor, while rewarding mobile capital.
Bitcoin recreates gold’s key elusive trait: non-discretionary, issuer-risk-free scarcity in digital form. Unlike gold (which responds to price via new supply), Bitcoin’s 21-million cap is mechanically enforced by code and time, refusing incentives. This makes it an potential anchor beneath fiat – collateral for credit expansion – if it scales to gold-like market value (~$45T vs. Bitcoin’s ~$1T).
Yet the real risk lies not in math (256-bit cryptography remains robust against classical attacks) but in human coordination: governance, quantum threats requiring consensus upgrades, and holder temperament during violent drawdowns. Markets price Bitcoin’s gap to gold not from doubts about scarcity, but from uncertainty about whether humans can endure its rigid, psychologically demanding process without capitulating. Bitcoin tests endurance more than code – its value hinges on who holds it, and for how long. https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/modern-money-only-works-cheating-if-youre-long-bitcoin-or-not-long-bitcoin-read EU seeks to close Russia crypto loopholes in new sanctions

ParticipantPrimary education in Ah…merica is metastasized with Woke.
The article and vid failed to address that.
Sure, the teacher want to open-a-vein everyday but the disease of Wokedumb is absolutely the dominant paradigm in USSA schools.
Whose fault is that???
In my 8th grade class of several hundred, no one moved on to 9th grade who couldn’t read to grade level.
No one was ‘graduated’ to the next grade, they were ‘held back’ until they could.
And they were ‘held back’ until they turned 18 if necessary and then legally turned out of the system.
Very few got ‘held back’ for 4 years.
The boys were channels into shop advanced classes where most thrived.
The girls (far fewer of them needed to be ‘held back’) were channeled into ‘home economics’
College is a gay-=fake plague on the adolescent population of Ah….merica.
With AI, as the article above with Musk says, coding will be smothered with a pillow shortly, and will drive the last coffin nail into the racket=hustle of ‘college’.
“College” has been weaponized into Woke and must die.
Old fashioned apprenticeships should take their rightful place again for the vast majority of students.
I remember have a class once in grade school baking bread and churning cream into butter. We were even taken to a diary to see cows milked and the milk bottled, locally because the school board wanted kids to actually experience where their food came from.

“Nothing to see here, move along folks…”
DP World Boss Resigns As “Epstein Disruption” Spreads Across Corporate World
“The “Epstein Disruption” continued to rock corporate America and the world overnight.First, Kathryn Ruemmler, Goldman Sachs’ chief legal officer and general counsel, announced her resignation Thursday night amid scrutiny over ties to Jeffrey Epstein.”
“Epstein BFF, Obama top lawyer and Goldman general counsel, Kathy Ruemmler, was paid over $50 million in 2022-2024
Ruemmler previously served as the White House Counsel during the Obama administration. She told Axios that it was her “responsibility…to put Goldman Sachs’ interests first”…
Priorities, priorities.
“Following Ruemmler’s decision to resign, the next corporate fallout tied to the trove of Epstein documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice hit DP World, where the head of the Dubai-based logistics group stepped down.”“DP World announced earlier that its CEO, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, will step down, following renewed scrutiny of his relationship with Epstein this week.”
“Revelations about Sulayem’s relationship with Epstein in the latest tranche of DoJ files prompted two government-linked investment funds, La Caisse and British International Investment, some of DP World’s top partners, to warn they would pause future deals unless “required actions” were taken.”By the end of the week, Sulayem stepped down.
So sad. ;>(

ParticipantThe debt rattle is back and RIM seems on good form again.
Did anyone else notice that there’s something strange going on at the moment? Lol. I sometimes speak to normies and drop this type of comment. Usually it results in some sort of preprogrammed response but actually, (recently) I have been surprised by the common response. I spoke to a woman in a doctors waiting room and we got into a discussion about healthcare and WEF. She knew about Schwab and was concerned that we would be tracked and have CBDC’s shoved down our throats.
Most of the time though, I have to defer to Topcat’s premise on the lack of common sense. It ain’t common no more. People walk with their back to the traffic along the road all the time. I had a friend who moved to the UK from Europe who was used to walling on the right. He ended up hospitalised because a truck’s wing mirror caught his head. He didn’t see it, obvs. That’s why we walk facing the traffic in the particular country that we reside in. When I am in Europe (or America, China etc) I walk on the right, because the traffic drives on the right. When I am in the UK (or Japan, Hong Kong etc) I walk on the left. It was called common sense.
Common sense would dictate many more important things such as not going to war against a country that is of equal (or greater power) than yourself. Or even not going to war period. That would be a good start. Common sense would imply not discouraging your populace from reproducing whilst importing migrants from the radicalised and opportunistic 3rd world that have been destroyed by the empire of lies.
I can think of some more.
Not running ZIRP for over 10 years.
Allowing the MIC to control foreign policy.
Letting pharma lobbyists control health policy.
Saddling young people with unpayable student debt.
Poisoning the population with PFOA’s, Gluphosate and mRNA.I could go on but y’all know this stuff only too well. Such a shame as it could have been so different. C’est la fou vie.
