So far, the Joe and Jane Flyover Country have been awakened to the fact that our election system appears to be impossibly rigged against the Average American.

Now, the GME/AMC short squeeze is waking up countless others to how the game has been rigged against the commoner, on the financial side.

The education many of us are getting in just how screwed we've been for DECADES is priceless, and it just may be coming at the only time in history when we can do something about it.

Is the Squeeze Squoze?

The illusions were there from the start, it is only towards the end that the illusions are realized for what they truly are.

We'll see how all this pans out but the illusions (lies) are falling apart quicker than they can create new ones.

The power of the organized collective is unmatched if we use it correctly.

We've already shown that we can bypass the entire MSM when it comes to news dissemination, and the point is quickly being made with respect to monetary concerns.

Hell yes. Who isn't? I think most folks realize it will suck for a bit but the endgame of rebuilding the system for our future requires it.

I'm just not sure how many of the 7 billion make it, I'm ready as I can be... if there is such a thing.

Investors flee equity and macro hedge funds, as 2020 heralds “career-defining moments” for many managers


Total hedge fund industry assets now stand at USD3.148 trillion globally, according to new eVestment research.

Year-to-date outflows – which number USD54.67 billion – are still dwarfed by the 2019’s withdrawals, which hit USD102.25 billion, indicating hedge funds have at least partly stemmed the tide of investor redemptions this year.

At the same time, a large number of hedge fund strategies which have shown consistent and strong performance this year are being rewarded with new capital allocations, according to Peter Laurelli, global head of research at eVestment.


Thats a low estimate imo, 500 trillion seems likely.

Most likely if Man exists, it will be the same as it always was i.e. rinse and repeat (see history). Everyone wants their money to work for them, but money does no work ie attaching interest.

I have no idea how this all ends, I will not be surprised if it ends during my lifetime.

Man has no real ability to beat Math. Looks like the end or at least the end of this cycle to me.

Pretty soon, $2,000 a year will become $2,000 a month, then $2,000 a week, then $2,000 a day, then $2,000 a hour, then $2,000 a minute... poof... one day it all just stops.

The basic principle at play is that throughout the history of human beings, certain individuals have found a way to profit mightily off the lives of others.

I'm not talking basic capitalism where employees generate more revenue for their employer than they earn for themselves.

The larger forces at work are the kind who have discovered the profit motive behind enslaving other people and/or turning the deaths of soldiers via war into an ATM.

This is what we're up against, and I'd wager that anyone who argues that it's not as sinister as this is either grossly misinformed or in significant denial.

Who isn't ready for a societal breakdown and reset?

Me, you, and everyone else who has anything to lose. None of us are ready, and few of us have any idea how terrible men can be to each other and have been to each other.

As long as things are not absolutely terrible, people are going to cling to normalcy. That's what the elites are banking on.

I don't disagree, but its very complex thing to discuss. Of course, once a good portion of the population realizes the truth... the system will fall to pieces.

Chances are the next system will rise which will be the same system repeated i.e. interest.

Everyone benefits until it collapses, once the collapse happens... past generations debt become due although they are not paid in dollar, they are paid in lives.

What does this mean? I know commoners like a mechanic, and a post office worker who are millionaires because they invested in the market with regularity over their working years.

I didn't say it wasn't possible to make money for ANYONE who wasn't part of the HF crowd.

People are waking up to the fact that GME is hardly the first time the hedge weasels have picked a flagging company for their short scheme.

Unless there's a reasonable explanation as to why the HF guys are sitting on short contracts for 140% of available GME stock. From where a lot of us are sitting, they have contracts on stock that doesn't exist.
