As explained in Splitting Pennies, the world is not as it seems.
Trading is information arbitrage, anytime you buy the seller has the opposite opinion. Generating alpha whether from day trading or long-term investing involves the same analysis on the underlying strategy. Therefore, the more the opponent can cripple your information advantage, the better. Of course, markets are not fair – hedge funds, banks, market makers, and other big fish will do whatever it takes to make sure they win, even if they might do something that violates the rules they sign to agree to.
In fact, they spend billions of dollars promoting stupidity, in the hope of dumbing you down to the point of making bad decisions, and not understanding how inflation is slowly killing you. So we don’t sound trite, let’s use the most recent ridiculous public example of this, in the spirit of the Simon Black absurdity of the week. Bill Gates Funds An Effort To Teach Kids That Math Is Racist
According to Bill Gates, math is racist. Judging from where he spends his money, the Microsoft co-founder seems to believe it suffers from white supremacy and the billionaire is funding a course teaching that to kids. He’s already handed out a $1 million grant.
Bill Gates’ foundation, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, recently handed over the sizable grant to The Education Trust Inc., the non-profit that, per their mission statement, “works to close opportunity gaps that disproportionately affect students of color and students from low-income families.” A very worthy cause, no doubt. But what is making its way around social media is a screenshot of the EquitableMath.org website and its corresponding statement, “White supremacy culture shows up in math classrooms when…The focus is on getting the ‘right’ answer.”
What’s scary is not the absurdity, that is clear – TO US. What affect will programs like this have in 5, 10, or 20 years? Small children are now being exposed to this nonsense, will they question science in favor of cult when they grow up?
Clearly Bill Gates is a genius, so why would he be funding a program to make people stupid? Because it serves his agenda in many ways. First and foremost, he’s involved in a conspiracy which can be only boiled down to a plot to steal the world they call the “Great Reset” and having informed, healthy, and active humans on this planet is only a huge barricade to their success. They need addicted, obese, brainwashed sycophants fighting over petty squabbles, so absorbed with their daily struggle for survival, or for corporate power, they become anesthetized to the drama of their plans, motives, and means to get there.
Wall Street is happy to comply with this plan, so groups like Robinhood can fleece retail customers out of whatever they were able to cobble together. We’re going to do a follow up piece on the plot to steal the world, here we are focusing on the growing stupidity pandemic. The point is that stupidity is good for business! Do you think all those Robinhood traders who got fleeced are reading trading books to re-tool their strategy, or do you think they are kicking back another 6 pack washing over their fast food GMO dinner?
“COVID” is not the threat they say it is, just like “Terrorists” were a fake threat. The real threat to life and property is stupidity. We’re not referencing the Darwin awards, we’re talking about the mass extermination mass vaccination program that has been in the skunk works for more than 10 years. The goal of reducing the population of the world is also a sideshow to the real goal, but it provides a good reference. So let’s start with the public statements and work top down:
“First, we’ve got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent …”
The obvious thought of rational humans reading this (there are so few) is: Is this hyperbole, or a description of a plan? Well, let’s take a few examples of things going on this may reference.
New research conducted by environmental justice scholars at Vermont's Bennington College reveals that between 2016 and 2020, the US military oversaw the "clandestine burning" of more than 20 million pounds of Aqueous Fire Fighting Foam in low-income communities around the country—even though there is no evidence that incineration destroys the toxic "forever chemicals" that make up the foam and are linked to a range of cancers, developmental disorders, immune dysfunction, and infertility. PFAS are so risky that they not only endanger public health but threaten to undermine human reproduction writ large.
- It was announced that the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Western Hemisphere Region, Inc. announced today that it has received a $1,730,000 gift from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.[1] … For those identifying historical figures with racist roots who should be removed from public view because of their evil histories, Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, must join that list. In promoting birth control, she advanced a controversial "Negro Project," wrote in her autobiography about speaking to a Ku Klux Klan group and advocated for a eugenics approach to breeding for “the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extinction, of defective stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.”[2] “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
- In 2009, several schools for tribal children in Khammam district in Telangana — then a part of undivided Andhra Pradesh — became sites for observation studies for a cervical cancer vaccine that was administered to thousands of girls aged between nine and 15. The girls were administered the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine in three rounds that year under the supervision of state health department officials. The vaccine used was Gardasil, manufactured by Merck. It was administered to around 16,000 girls in the district, many of whom stayed in state government-run hostels meant for tribal students.
Months later, many girls started falling ill and by 2010 five of them died. Two more deaths were reported from Vadodara, Gujarat, where an estimated 14,000 children studying in schools meant for tribal children were also vaccinated with another brand of HPV vaccine, Cervarix, manufactured by GSK. Earlier in the week, the Associated Press reported that scores of teenaged girls were .. The committee found that consent for conducting these studies, in many cases, was taken from the hostel wardens, which was a flagrant violation of norms. In many other cases, thumbprint impressions of their poor and illiterate parents were duly affixed onto the consent form. The children also had no idea about the nature of the disease or the vaccine. The authorities concerned could not furnish requisite consent forms for the vaccinated children in a huge number of cases.[3]
Ironically, the Rockefeller Foundation is the lead creator of the COVID mask policies, lockdowns, and related policies. They are also the creator of Eugenics, which was later adopted by Hitler and the Nazis (not the other way around):
Beginning in 1930 the Rockefeller Foundation provided financial support to the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics,[25] which later inspired and conducted eugenics experiments in the Third Reich.
The Rockefeller Foundation funded Nazi racial studies even after it was clear that this research was being used to rationalize the demonizing of Jews and other groups. Up until 1939 the Rockefeller Foundation was funding research used to support Nazi racial science studies at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics (KWIA.) Reports submitted to Rockefeller did not hide what these studies were being used to justify, but Rockefeller continued the funding and refrained from criticizing this research so closely derived from Nazi ideology. The Rockefeller Foundation did not alert "the world to the nature of German science and the racist folly" that German anthropology promulgated, and Rockefeller funded, for years after the passage of the 1935 Nuremberg racial laws.[26]
So their agenda is clear. And 90% of people have bought into this fantasy, that an invisible scrouge is flooding our society with the potential to kill us all.
Mask wearing increases your risk of dying from COVID because of ‘mask mouth.’ In fact, if you combine all the policies together, there’s only one common theme – get sick. No where in the CDC or other recommendations for avoiding COVID do they mention a good diet, healthy habits, exercise, eating Vitamin D and C or Zinc, or other immune boosters – or doing anything to help your general health, which will help fight any disease including COVID if you get it. They are only selling vaccines which are similar to pharmaceuticals in that the likely long term prescription is to get daily or weekly vaccines because an mRNA ‘vaccine’ disrupts your body’s natural ability to fight disease. They want people to be dependent on big pharma. Like any homeopathic remedy such as the conspiracy against Cannabis, the COVID mainstream narrative is pushing for stupidity so you feel weak and helpless, and boy do they have a solution to help you.
By the way, COVID operation is a means to an end, it is not the end. Our hypothesis here is that Stupidity as it is being spread is more dangerous than COVID itself. Finally we have learned that respirators were killing people, how many doctors, who caught the stupid bug, were brainwashed into gassing their patients to an early death because they watched too much TV?
Trump was never the prize – YOU are the prize, like Trump once said. They don’t want to come after me, they want to come after YOU, and that’s what they are doing.
But again, this is a big IQ test. America is a free country and as long as 100 Million of us own guns, our freedoms are not going to be taken away (except perhaps in select cities).
Traders should take note as this is not only about your health but your financial health. There is only one chart you need to understand and it’s this M1 chart produced by the St. Louis Fed:
Although Crypto has been on a tear, Bitcoin is denominated in US Dollars. Crypto is a closed system. You need to first buy USD and then buy BTC. When people are buying BTC they are selling USD. For a detailed explanation of the Forex & Crypto pair trading system, see Splitting Pennies or Splitting Bits.
Real Estate, Crypto, Stocks, Private Equity (particularly Pre IPO) is all going up. Look again at the above chart to answer the question where the money is coming from.
Before closing, let’s address one last myth. The Fed cannot unwind QE – they can only default. The Fed created the USD system based on debt, when new money is created it is done through issuance of debt (loans, treasuries, etc.). The Fed does not actually create ‘money out of thin air’ it creates ‘debt out of thin air’ – here’s how it works.
The US Government or JP Morgan call the Fed and say “Hi, Fed, I need 50 Billion by 5pm ET.” The fed then opens the discount window and provides a LOAN to JP Morgan at a discounted, wholesale rate. JP Morgan then repackages that loan and charges a higher rate to it’s end user. Or it buys stocks. Once JP Morgan has the money, it can theoretically do what it wants – as long as it pays the interest.
The virus we are calling Stupidity is being seeded by these NGOs promoting ‘education programs’ to explain to us how 2+2=4 is racist, how wearing masks helps stop the spread (contrary to the CDC’s own report findings), and why we should social distance, take vaccines, and avoid healthy behaviors like eating right, exercise, and reading. Censorship is part of this, with the news being totally overwhelmed with pro-vaccine and pro-globalist propaganda.
How this relates to markets is simple – ‘they’ who are creating this narrative are the same people who don’t want you to understand how the Fed creates money, who are the same people that believe you aren’t intelligent enough to make your own decisions, so they should decide for you.
If you are thinking, how can I not catch ‘stupidity’ – it’s easy. Follow these steps:
- Turn off your TV.
- If you see someone wearing a mask – run in the other direction.
- Do not wear masks.
- Avoid communicating to people who are part of the vax cult.
- Read! Read THIS SITE www.zerohedge.com Read BOOKS. [Don’t get them on your Kindle, buy paperbacks or hardcover and read them. If you don’t have budget, get used or visit the library.
- Do your homework (for trading). Reddit, no offense, is not a source of information.
