Those of us who are over the age of about 50-55 or those who study sports history will recall that Muhammed Ali changed his boxing strategy during his career due to both his age and the type of fighters he was encountering. He began his "Rope a Dope" and "Float like a Butterfly Sting Like a Bee" strategies, particularly when encountering the big beast and nasty bully George Foreman, who delivered many early fight knockout blows.

I would compare George Foreman to the Federal Reserve. As Foreman's only weapon was his big knockout punch, so it is that the Federal Reserve's only weapon is massive but selective counterfeiting of trillions of dollars, none of which does the common person see. The Federal Reserve is a big beast and a nasty bully that must be knocked out, but it can't be knocked out in the early rounds.

However, once Ali had weakened the big beast and nasty bully Foreman by the 8th round of the "Rumble in the Jungle", Ali went after Foreman with everything he had and Ali suddenly knocked Foreman out in mere seconds. This can be seen here:

Foreman didn't even know what hit him.

And so I believe it will be with the big beast and nasty bully which is the Federal Reserve. The tools I have used to survive to this point are lying in wait (Rope a Dope) and bot smashing (Float Like a Butterfly Sting Like a Bee). But when I perceive the big beast and nasty bully is finally weakened and ready to fall, I will throw everything I have at it.

Wall Street is better organized to exploit the American government, economy and society. They have proved this repeatedly.
Actually has happened and simply business as usual in another cycle of exploitation.
Wall Street has bailed itself out again under cover of the Corona Virus.
I would say David and a river rock H.
Honestly stay a bee. We discussed this hive charted discussion before window.
You damn smart and cannot punch out fraud streets lights brother.
My job is the one man who tells group think the impossible.
I would rather LLC to you than play this canvass deck arena right now
as a Dunning-Kruger effect of cognitive bias on my part.

Washington is so hopelessly corrupt that none of this amounts to anything. In banana republics, the judge in the case would be assassinated or intimidated into ignoring the facts and sentencing Flynn to jail. We may not be there yet, but the lack of any substantive investigation into the FBI corruption suggests no one will be charged with anything. tyler
The current Office and World offer no salvation to the nanotech maniacs with the collaborative escape hatch they coveted and built in.

The error in the analogy is that I'm not Ali delivering the knockout. Though I have definitely played "Rope a Dope" and "Float Like a Butterfly Sting LIke a Bee" to the extent that my means allow.

When the big beast and nasty bully was actually crashing to the canvas, Ali declined to give him one more blow on the way down and then kick him repeatedly in the head when he was on the canvas. That's the role I'll be playing, along with many others.

Shia forces had been killing other tribes in Iraq to such an extent that the Yazidis almost went extinct.
The General could have just stayed in Iran and he would be alive.
Sanctions will remain until a representative government is formed.
The Beast is almost human and a Bug made stall.
I think the matrix had another idea.
The season of the true Garden will run its script.

She Predicted the Coronavirus. What Does She Foresee Next?
Laurie Garrett, the prophet of this pandemic, expects years of death and “collective rage.”

She said she wasn’t surprised that a coronavirus wrought this devastation, that China minimized what was going on or that the response in many places was sloppy and sluggish. She’s Cassandra, after all.

But there is one part of the story she couldn’t have predicted: that the paragon of sloppiness and sluggishness would be the United States.

“I never imagined that,” she said. “Ever.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/02/opin ... rrett.html

That's because she hasn't been paying attention. Gen X Debacles and The 97th Percentile have been a fact for some time and she should have seen it coming.

She saw it coming. So a big part of what I wanted to ask her about was what she sees coming next. Steady yourself. Her crystal ball is dark.

Despite the stock market’s swoon for it, remdesivir probably isn’t our ticket out, she told me. “It’s not curative,” she said, pointing out that the strongest claims so far are that it merely shortens the recovery of Covid-19 patients. “We need either a cure or a vaccine.”

But she can’t envision that vaccine anytime in the next year, while Covid-19 will remain a crisis much longer than that.

“I’ve been telling everybody that my event horizon is about 36 months, and that’s my best-case scenario,” she said.

“I’m quite certain that this is going to go in waves,” she added. “It won’t be a tsunami that comes across America all at once and then retreats all at once. It will be micro-waves that shoot up in Des Moines and then in New Orleans and then in Houston and so on, and it’s going to affect how people think about all kinds of things.”

This seems reasonable.

flying monkeys are peaking

They get around existing law by invoking open-ended states of emergency that they can extend forever at their own discretion, like Pritzker in Illinois. They just bailed out Wall Street for three trillion dollars on our dime. They do whatever they want.

We've been living in a wealthier version of the USSR for years.
Now we're even going to have the shortages and lines in front of stores that they did also.

It will be just like the speed drug freaks we ignored decades ago and later the one who survived described the rush as seeing jagged lines
and corona effects mocking the hayzeus amish who we parsed as seen and unseen before the men with no eyes showed up.
Last year almost to the week we ran into a survivor of the culture we call it and noted simple carnage and we asked about so and so in the mist of time. Alone, childless living in fear as the remnant check on the survivors giving bread milk and bread and a smile without judgement.

The demsheviks will need another internal crisis to put the finishing touches on and codify the new surveillance and lockdown regime. Speed

In the 19th century, the Democrat Party defended slavery, launched a civil war, founded the Ku Klux Klan.

Recently the Algerian government helped the Armed Islamic Group or GIA (Groupe Islamique Armé)
That spillover was the local demshevik strategy. Some training accident on the plains of shinar and
for those who followed the mmr rat lines understand the Amish files.

The current Office get the support it deserves.

Today I moved my break even from 2709 to 2715 by trading some points out of the market.

This week fooled practically everyone except for the bears on this forum. As noted, I started the week short 5 with a break even of 2643. I will continue to add if the market can move down, and especially if it starts to crash.

Today's results:

Starting with the Sunday open, I worked all night. Based on the screenshot from Friday's close versus today, it can be seen that I entered one additional lot of ES at 2839.50*7 - 2845.00*6 = 2806.50. In addition to that, I traded $1,562.50 out of the market on 27 round turns. Adjusting for commission, my average entry on the additional lot is 2831.00, which is above the high of the day.

My strategy is to enter additional lots in an established downtrend while averaging in near or above the high of the day. On some days like Friday, I just smash the bots for additional protection of my account.

Today's activity brings my break even on the 7 lots to 2732 since I started accumulating shorts during this presumed bear market rally.

Today's results:



PS: I've been asked by someone to continue posting these real time proofs of trading activity because they represent trading reality, not the nonsense and fantasy that you read on most trading boards, stuff like, "Booked my profit, now off to Tahiti!" with never any evidence to back it up.

What the article fails to mention is that the research was funded by the NIH and conducted with a number of other labs. 6 in the US, 1 in switzerland, and Wuhan

SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronavirus pose threat for human emergence

1 Departments of Epidemiology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA
2 Microbiology and Immunology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA
3 National Center for Toxicological Research, Food and Drug Administration, Jefferson, AR, USA
4 Department of Cell Biology and Physiology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA
5 Marsico Lung Institute/Cystic Fibrosis Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA
6 Institute for Research in Biomedicine, Bellinzona, Switzerland Institute of Microbiology, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
7 Department of Cancer Immunology and AIDS, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston Massachusetts, USA
8 Key Laboratory of Special Pathogens and Biosafety, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China


And the same NIH that called for the lifting of the ban in 2017, on gain-of-function virus research
NIH Lifts Funding Pause on Gain-of-Function Research

Someone needs to ask Dr. Fauci why that ban was lifted, and the funding for Wuhan and other laboratories continued.

We know why.
