$SPX futures rallied 130 points after CPI was released and then fell 80 points all within 2 hours.

The market doesn’t know whether to be happy that inflation has peaked or upset that a recession is around the corner.

tamudabu:


That's likely because inflation is down in some things but still rising in many things.

I am definitely addicted to destroying what dump represents Ben. He gives opportunity for ignorant people like you to promote your ignorant views which I personally can not stand.

benalvino3:


I was talking to directly to someone else. How you make this about TDS and you, I don't know. 247 trump is in your head.

benalvino3:


You mention trump way more than trump supporters here. You are addicted. Everything is trump for you. This thread is about politics, people try to discuss other things but poor you suffering from TDS sees trump in every word people type. Seek help asap

IjeBos:


It's like explaining Us government to you. You spin like a top.
1.) You don't seem to understand what the FISA court is.
The FISA court just consists of individual Judges who are picked by the chief Justice to rule on FISA applications. Because of the secrecy of the matters before each Judge, the Judges have to trust the things the FBI tells them when seeking applications. There is no adversarial system, no defense council, just the FBI asking the court to allow them to invade our rights. So, lies or omissions in the applications are serious, BECAUSE THE JUDGES HAVE TO TRUST THEM . That is what they were speaking to. But you can prove me wrong, by just posting the part where they say "they wouldn't have approved the application based on the omission". Again, you are inferring things the statement does not say.

IjeBos:
2.)Now Boasberg is a federal judge. He may be appointed to be on the Fisa Court next. Who knows.[\b] But when a matter comes before a Federal Judge, he gets to see everything no matter how classified. So, this Judge, who saw everything, then decided [b]that he believes, it wouldn't have changed anything. What is the difference between him and the Judge who initially ruled on it? They both had the same information. None.. just you deciding to call him Partisan because he doesn't believe what you want him to believe.

IjeBos:

3.) Example: A kid tells his mom his friend said their teacher says they need $20 for a field trip tomm in school. The mom asks the son if he asked the teacher directly. The son, not wanting to take the time to ask the teacher says yes. The mom gives him the money. The mom later finds out that the son lied about directly asking his teacher. But the Mom also does know for a fact the teacher did say they needed the money.

Does the boy lying about asking the teacher mean that Mom wouldn't have given him the money knowing the teacher said it was needed? That situation is akin to this one. Which you are making like there was some coup on the US. Without the omission, the underlying facts supported the application. PERIOD

benalvino3:


lmao, you are sick. you should try and make connections in your life and leave nairaland for a bit. your addiction is a sad situation

SlyFoxxProblem:


LMAO see the excuse “he gives opportunity”

As if conservative and anti-establishment views did not exist before Trump. As if without Trump you would not be able to speak lol

It’s easy to understand these peoples problem baba. They have just been conditioned by the media they've consumed over the last 6 years to ALWAYS think about Trump. It’s as simple as that.

The corrupt American mainstream media noticed early in his first campaign that Trump was good for business so tried to make every story about him. They rewarded him with over $1 billion worth of free publicity, helped him clear the GOP primary and basically made him president. They continued to rip windfall profits during his presidency and it’s aftermath. Now their entire business model is too dependent on him to make a pivot especially in an age where readership and viewership of traditional mainstream media outlets has been declining in as more people turn to independent journalists and podcasts for their news.

Trump is the last card the old guard has to play to maintain some relevancy. It’s a symbiotic relationship between Trump and the mains-stream media. They both depend on each other for survival as much as they pretend to hate each other.

Watch Michelle Wolf of all people explain it perfectly.

I can tell from the half baked points you made about SBF which are straight out of misinformation portals as if SBF is being defended by anyone and won't get his just due if found to be breaking the law

Bankruptcy process of a company takes time to establish where the assets and liabilities are, and.if the directors have committed any fraud in the course of their work

Enron filed for bankruptcy in Dec 2001, their CFO wasn't arrested until October 2002

FTX has just been assigned a CEO to oversee this process who is the same CEO that unravelled the mess at Enron

Secondly, there is little legal framework for Crypto. SBF executed a flywheel scheme which while being unethical may not be covered by laws as little or no laws have been passed for Crypto. Scheme illustrated below. To actually nab SBF, they will need more than flywheel scheme and need to establish whether he has transferred creditors assets to himself, which I'm sure they will be eager to do. The FBI has put in an extradition request to Bahamas for questioning. Note that questioning is different from charging. USA does not play with financial markets fraud regardless of who the offender is. Their whole financial system depends on it.

[s]So everything you typed only lets me know what your information sources and social media algorithms are leading you to, which is why I say you are on the borderline. A simple counterargument to the fallacy you typed is that FTX co CEO is equally a major Republican donor and has not been charged either. Any charging will be done after accounting investigations and audit trails, just like any other financial investigation, not because your misinformation sources tell you "he is at a stalemate"[/s]

Similar scheme was executed by Do Kwon with Luna in Singapore which collapsed in March or so, and till date, Do Kwon has not been charged by Singapore authorities because there is little legal framework to do so.

kkins25:

I wasn't arguing against the M.O. of FTX. end.

SBF has been arrested.

How didn't you know that this guy is on the run and has since being on South Korea's most wanted list.

Dumb American liberals busy obsessing over Donald Trump and gender identity while the first building block in the collapse of the American petro-empire has just been placed.

This is a dangerous alliance that past serious US presidents have tried to avert for years. But unfortunately America is no longer a serious country with a serious president. Interesting times ahead.

Russia gains 10b cm gas deal with China while losing 150b cm market in EU. Hooray for them.

SlyFoxxProblem:


Keep watching. This is the first block. A new economic and military alliance is being formed. Russia, China, India, Brazil, the gulf states and most of the emerging markets in Africa. The old Anglo-Saxon world order is going to collapse faster than previously projected.

Ibime:


Alliance between strange bedfellows without a unifying ideology. China and India have major military tensions, with China backing Pakistan to press India's neck. What you are hyping is just short-term convenience, or as they say, realpolitik. You would soon tell us Iran and the gulf states are part of that alliance while fighting each other in various theatres in the Middle East. If you don't have a unifying ideology, all na wash, till one autocrat start beefing the other.

i have been to his facebook before, Tamudabu or .......

benalvino3:


mumu goes to the internet and tries to explain crap that we already know instead of trying to address what my post. your hero judge was not part of the tribunal of judges, how can he conclude that someone lying to that tribunal would not have changed their decision?
the FBI present request under oath that the information is accurate and vetted, so yes, they have to believe the FBI but the FBI lied which is the problem.

How the court works:

benalvino3:

mumu, you are a fool based on the bold.
he gets to see everything, even inside the minds of a deceived judges? i mean 11 judges, he knew all the decisions they would have made? you get sense at all?
he believes is a statement of opinion
the difference is that he was not part of the tribunal, he is a corrupt POS etc.

benalvino3:

this does not fit the scenario of what happened at all.

Has faux news started a new season of Caravans of Migrants attacking the border?
President Biden is having a blast week after week, which means that we might start seeing new caravan stories soon.
