Ultimately, the unholy alliance of government agencies and media giants to silence criticism of government policies in ... the name of fighting "fake news", is not only indicative of an astonishing contempt for established democratic principles and the freedom of expression and information. It also reveals how truly terrified the political establishment is of falling from power, and just how far it will go in compromising democratic principles in order to be able to cling to that power.

Though no one in the financial sector dares say this in public, the possibility that central banks can no longer sustain the illusion that risk has been vanquished is now front and center. If risk can't be corralled and quantified, then it can't be offset with any degree of confidence. If risk can't be corralled and quantified, it can't be offloaded onto unsuspecting others without the possibility that the system itself will collapse once the risk that's been piling up in the global machinery manifests.

 

Something has changed, but nobody dares talk about it. That tells those who listen to what's not being said something of great value.

Circa 2016

 

Every time you sell volatility you get paid by the counter-party who is typically hedging the volatility (going long) of a particular position and paying you for the privilege. This is not unlike paying a home insurance premium where the insurer takes the ultimate risk of your house burning down and you pay them for the privilege. The difference however between selling volatility in order to protect against an underlying position and selling volatility in order to receive the yield created is enormous. And yet this is the game being played.

 

The Central banks have managed to create a sense of calm in the markets exhibited by record lows in volatility and for their part Joe Sixpack investor has used linear thinking extrapolated well into the future assuming ever greater risk ignoring market cycles and extremes at their peril.

 

Two things are happening here:

1. When the proverbial house burns down the insurance company (ETF) can’t cover. It’s all in and was never designed to protect holders for the inevitable reversal.

2. Investors have been selling volatility in order to achieve yield and thus treating these structured products like bonds, when they are in fact similar to bonds in the same way that the iPhone is similar to a water buffalo.

 

Traders are aggressively hunting for yield and finding it in selling volatility. This works wonderfully…until it doesn’t.

:helloooo:

Let’s see - armed guards won’t stop school massacres, permanent bullet proof glass lockdowns won’t stop them, pleading with policy makers to do "something" won’t stop them, ‘new’ gun laws won’t stop them, enforcing existing gun laws won’t stop them, taking all the wackos off prescribed drugs that trigger violent impulses to a statistically significant degree won’t stop them, getting to the heart of how students experience school and the meaning that schools have in American life won’t stop them, getting rid of the deep state OBID simultaneous ‘drill’ and ‘media’ operations won’t stop them...

 

In a world where children are no longer valued, in a world where each year millions of children are legally killed - none of the above would stop school massacres...

The release of Black Panther, the latest comic book feature by Marvel Studios (distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures) has many race-baiters gushing at the thought of the film’s nearly all-black cast supporting a black superhero character – with almost no white people in sight! But if the film was really about giving black people even more of an upper hand in American society, it would discuss actual issues that affect black people, such as the vaccine industry targeting of black people for chemical poisoning and elimination.

 

As we’ve been saying here at Natural News for quite some time, the black population at large is under constant assault by the very same people and industries that are constantly making much ado about nothing concerning the alleged plight of black people. The left’s beloved Planned Parenthood, for instance, has long been exposed as a eugenics front organization, the purpose of which is to exterminate as many black babies from society as possible.

 

Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood’s founder, in fact, is on record as having referred to black people as “human weeds,” and a segment of society that she wanted to see annihilated completely. Though Planned Parenthood today would never openly admit to this, it still keeps this agenda on the move by placing its centers in predominantly black neighborhoods where at least 75 percent of the abortions performed are on black babies.

 

Vaccines have also been used as a weapon not just here in the states, but particularly against black people living in Africa. Microsoft founder Bill Gates is among the many pro-death cultists who have stated on record that vaccines aren’t designed to improve human lives, but rather to eliminate them through depopulation – and he stated this fact at a widely viewed TED conference, no less.

 

One of the World Health Organization’s goals is to depopulate black countries, research shows The World Health Organization (WHO) has further admitted that infertility chemicals are secretly being added to vaccines that are administered primarily to black women in Africa as a way of sterilizing them. In a paper published in the journal Scientific Research, study authors admit both the name of this chemical and how it’s used in vaccines as a way of preventing black women in Africa from giving birth to their black children.

 

“In 1993, WHO announced a ‘birth-control vaccine’ for ‘family planning,'” the paper’s abstract openly admits. “Published research shows that by 1976 WHO researchers had conjugated tetanus toxoid (TT) with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) producing a ‘birth-control’ vaccine. Conjugating TT with hCG causes pregnancy hormones to be attacked by the immune system. Expected results are abortions in females already pregnant and/or infertility in recipients not yet impregnated. Repeated inoculations prolong infertility.”

 

As heinous as this all sounds, WHO is actually in the process of developing even more potent anti-fertility vaccines using recombinant DNA, the paper admits. One of the long-range goals of WHO, the paper adds, is to reduce population growth in “less developed countries,” many of which are located in Africa, meaning the targets are most often poor black people.

 

The creators of Black Panther fail to mention any of this in their film, however. Instead of using this unique opportunity with a large black viewing audience to tell the truth about “humanitarian” organizations like WHO and Planned Parenthood, these social agitators are stoking the flames of anti-white angst among black people, some of whom have been deceived into thinking that white people are their enemies – when in fact their real enemies, who generally aren’t named for fear of backlash, hide behind the curtain.

 

...

 

Watch the Health Ranger’s one-hour science and medicine presentation that provides exhaustive evidence of this covert extermination program carried out in the name of vaccines. The lecture is called The Science Agenda to Exterminate Blacks.

Big picture trades

 

FX / Dollar: pulled back from position trading dollar for now... ie short term ‘technical’ trading resumed all across fx... have one account specializing in short dollar, but it is oriented to finding safe interest differential trades more than short bias and riding major moves...

 

CL : longs all hedged up still...so getting back long up where I hedged up would be the worst case on the upside and lifting hedges wrong multiple times would be the worst case on the downside

 

INDEX FUTURES: the only big picture thing I’m looking at now is timing another YM/NQ spread. The auctions have normalized - so rather than try to extend my run at calling tops, I’m back to just following my nose like a happy, unfastened dog.

 

PM: Gold is inside and crawling towards the point of a (technically insignificant ;) ) ascending* wedge on monthly charts... (also and not an every day event, a shorter term weekly wedge replicates on the same y coordins as the monthly ). I personally hope PM’s crash all to hell - so I can buy more... but that’s just dollars and hope talkin...

* top line(s) of this wedge ‘horizontal’

 

UST: resisting urge to cover shorts / take some massive profits...temporarily reducing size on new trades to the downside, but sticking with plan to add more shorts on handles no matter which way it goes...

 

CRYpt: still out of BTC. adding longs on multiple ‘minors’ (not miners :) ) on dips... Long term, I’m with Buffet on crytos- add “five year put” on run-ups... ie they all settle down and ‘get real’... and btw going to good casinos is much more fun than 'gambling' online in crytos

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
