  1. The empirical observation is there is speculation in the markets. The conspiracy theory is the central bank or cabal is doing so to subjugate humanity or steal your money. 

    I get it. Wall Street is bad. If there is a vote for more regulation, I’d support it, but everyone is playing the same game, some are just more actively participating.

    Your last 3 sentences are literally the problem. It’s a snowball of insanity. No one is saying a derivatives market is bad. The thesis is that the current rules for the current global derivatives market are no longer serving the purpose for derivatives, but rather a rampant circular wealth vacuum scheme that isn’t supported by actual assets or real property. 

    The thesis is simple idiocy deep fried in conspiracy. People speculate in the derivatives and stock market. No way! I don’t know why you’re trying to gleam kernels of truth from conspiracy theories.

    On Friday, shareholders in Digital World Acquisition Corp, a listed cash shell, voted to approve a merger with Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind Mr Trump’s social network Truth Social.

    It means TMTG will join the Nasdaq exchange as early as next week. Mr Trump will own a majority of the combined company with a stake worth around $3.5bn.

    TMTG lost $49m in the first nine months of 2023, while revenue rose from $237,000 in the first nine months of 2022 to $3.4m.


    I'm sorry, how does a stake in a company that lost $49 million and only took in $3.4 million equate to $3.5 billion? 

    It’s pure influence peddling

    Jeffrey Yass is a huge TikTok investor which is why Trump probably flip flopped on banning it.

    I mean this isn't really that much conspiracy. The derivatives market is completely fucking insane. The whole collapse part may be a bit dramatic and the whole "plan" of the great taking is maybe a bit on the conspiracy side. You can't argue with derivative markets being completely out of touch with reality and thus the stock market being completely divorced from reality. 

    It is pure anti-Fed goldbug conspiracy nonsense. The Fed wasn’t invented to confiscate gold. Central Banks are not stealing your money to control you. The derivatives market serves legitimate purposes for legitimate people. Crop producers use futures contracts to provide price security. Companies use swaps to guarantee foreign exchange rates. Do parties use derivatives as highly speculative gambling divorced from reality? Sure. The same is done with stocks.

    While it’s important to place the blame at the feet of Republicans, it is equally important to note that House Progressives and the Squad are joining forces with Mike Johnson to prevent a vote on a bill that their party supports and negotiated.

    Fuck those people 

  6. Easier for outside sources to pour money into DWAC stock to funnel to Trump’s media company. It’s money laundering in plain sight. Media company doesn’t do shit for business. People get pouring money in. You don’t have to be a citizen to buy stock. There are no restrictions.

    Please don't say that out loud again.  That absolutely is the strongest play for him.  It's already a religious experience for his ilk, and I don't even want to imagine a reality with him on TV (more than he is now) with people sending him tax exempt money instead of in a cell talking about crawdads and (deconstructed) hamburders.

    I have another perspective. After Trump destroys the Republican party, maybe he should destroy the Church?
