Anyone else's brokerage down? Fidelity appears to be down.

Fidelity is down for me, too.

 

[dpong]

I think it's back.

Fidelity is down for me, too.

Weird. Houses reduced to white ashes with trees still standing next to them.

Maui Wildfires and the Theft of Sacred Hawaiian Land

Watch now (5 mins) | Aside from the federal government’s bureaucratic failure, Hawaiians have good reason to be suspicious of the recent fires.

I'll jump the shark and say I coincidentally watched this recently, and it seems somewhat timely. Which makes me a tad suspicious if you know what I mean.

(But kind of interesting.)

Judy Wood on the Twin Towers turning to dust

Judy Wood is a mechanical engineer and author of "Where Did The Towers Go?", in which she questions the official 9/11 story.

jermwarfare.com

A while back I watch some footage she was using. Once she pointed out the steel girders turning into dust as they fell you just couldn't unsee it and you can't rationalise it without the idea of some sort of weapon involved.

 

[Voodoo]

I would be 80%+ sure that damage was caused by electrical induction. Past that would require much research. You could easily tell by examining the damage. Copper would be different than Aluminum or Steel and much different that wood or glass.

Probably why FEMA is there to keep people Out.

 

[TheRealZed]

Anticipating here. Does the directed energy weapons story eventually tie into the alien invasion story? Got to stay on one's toes.

As insane as it sounds to people now I think that is entirely possible. They will have to make it convincing and just lasering a few images into the sky and flying a few drones around won't cut it. Dropping some skyscrapers to the ground into their own footprint is way more impressive. Covid has shown you just how useful fear is in controlling the masses. This is probably a dry run for what's to come.

Yes I know that sounds nuts, no one will be happier than me if it is nuts.

That said you have to look back at the year 2000 and think a lot changed. SARS appeared MERS appeared a couple of buildings seemingly inexplicably fell into their own footprint and Homeland security was created with an act that was obviously pre-prepared and that you're just have to pass to find out what was in it!

Planned? Test runs and dry runs?

Given a recent history I'm almost prepared to believe anything.

 

[Voodoo]

The only problem with that now is they'd have to admit that wasn't a wildfire. I don't see that happening.

 

[TheRealZed]

Still that is extremely odd.

Isn't it? I'm open to a rational explanation but it looks suspicious.

Not really, could be a test run. More fun to come. Election stopper?!

Isn't it? I'm open to a rational explanation but it looks suspicious.

There is a whole section of metallurgy but it goes the other direction. Using powdered metals to sinter metallic parts. I suppose they have to manufacture the powders somehow. But none of these methods could really account for those photos, if real.

How Metal Powder Is Made: Step 1 of the Powder Metallurgy Process

The story of how metal powder is made is complicated. Let’s look at this initial powder metallurgy process step & see how it literally all comes together:

Gotta call BS on that. Who is working for 56k a year? A husband and wife combined income of only 56k? If that is one persons income than that person isn't looking at 400k houses.
In 2000 I was earning well over 56k myself. Not including my wife. And I am uneducated as in no college degree.
To be honest I don't know anyone who only makes 56k. Not the bricklayer down the road or my friends who are diesel mechanics or the nurses I know. I live in a shit hole town in Ohio too where you can still buy a home for under 200k.

Holy F....

Is this why Obummer went down there?

AUD Gold parting company with USD Gold.

There is some video of large standing columns that simply turn to dust and blow away as powder.

Yeah... When I first saw the video, I was reserved until I saw those steel columns disintegrate and literally blow away. I could not believe I'd never noticed that before. Amazing what you look past! Once seen, you cannot unsee it, it completely changes the game. You are the only nation that could acquire such capability. The fact that it was used against a domestic target and that a whole raft of changes came in on the back of it makes you think that we have not seen the end game yet. Hawaii seems to be indicating that it is closer, the threat of T getting way too much support sets a timeline. If he is free and will stand for election, I think you will see some kind of operation before the election. All plausibly deniable and supported by the media, but significant enough that the election will be 'temporarily' forestalled.

F**K I am getting paranoid... and no weed involved!

LOL

miners looking fugly, like gold is about to take a tumble. Yet silver is holding firm. Strange...

Silver is probably where the problem is, cut the knees from silver by shorting gold and the stocks while you cover Silver exposure. That is about the only way I see Silver staying firm, normally she is first out the door with her hair on fire!

 

[TheRealZed]

Yep... the whole train wreck is still in motion, taking more crap out along the way.

 

[TheRealZed]

Silver OI September delivery coming up in a couple of weeks. Sep isn't far short of December in OI...

 

[TheRealZed]

July Delivery was bigger than last December... I wonder what September holds? End of the year is normally the big delivery period.

Silver Daily over gold indexed to 100 and pinned to the same scale. Silver has moved about as far away from gold as it has tended to in its recent past. Looks to be compressing into a near term low. 2c FWIW. Actually looks a little overdue. We are sitting far enough below the averages that they will have probably seen max near term liquidation of the weaker hands. ---> My best guess.

 

[TheRealZed]

AUD Gold over USD Gold... the price action is mostly in the dollar.

[TheRealZed]

I just heard that the options market is now 4x larger than 2020. Holy F*.... it was not small in the USA to start with. That is a massive expansion in the casino... sure there are hardcore, logical number crunching traders, but there are way more punters!

I wasn't really watching that one... 4x... WOW!

DXY resistance overhead, lines to watch.

10 minute storm blew in here on Tuesday afternoon. Lost power for 5 minutes internet for a day and a half. Minor roof damage too small for a claim. Like a small hurricane blew stuff everywhere.
So is that a double bottom in Gold? It looks to me as if Armstrong's call to buy Gold before mid July was incorrect. If he programmed the computer isn't it just Martin anyway? The adventurous could go long against yesterday's lows with stops. Holding and watching.

Carrey is the only normal one in that bunch. He is anti all the bullshit.

 

[TheRealZed]

Carrey is the only normal one in that bunch.

That's a statement and half!

 

[TheRealZed]

So is that a double bottom in Gold?

I'm not sure that the downtrend was long enough and the volume pattern really confirms but screw it, why not... either that or a messy continuation pattern of some stripe... hopefully. Close enough for government work, this is the gold market, after all!

Subdued reaction up in the silver miners so far.

 

[Lancers32]

They got bigger guns does it matter if you signed a contract? I didn't sign on for a lot of crap but here we are.

That picture of the house that was 2/3 flattened and 1/3 not even scorched is about as convincing as you can find. You are a flipping Moron if you think a fire could come close to doing that damage.
