I believe most people on this service appreciate that the Federal Reserve is neither Federal nor reserve. That the fed uses Mass Psychology to screw the populous. But that the astute investor can ride whatever wave they want to create (up or down). That wave usually ends with an uptrend

I do wonder if they changed their playbook a bit. Is it possible they have decided to no longer prop up the markets until Build Back Better has been implemented?

They need a lot of suffering for people to accept things like social credit system, federal digital coins, federalized farming etc. Only then will they swoop back in and prop the stock market back up.

This is a good summary of what is happening now, has happened in the past and will still happen in the future. I think, speaking to your query, that the playbook remains the the same. The only thing that has changed for the PTB is the size of the opportunity hence the timing of the move.

Really quite brilliant they are. Social engineering at it's finest.

The absolute top players are masters at putting MP into play. One way to see how effective they are is to see how much chaos they cause amongst the masses. If you take this approach, then the answer is obvious they are winning hands down, and the same playbook is used over and over again, with minor changes in the pain cycle; some are short, and some are long, but the end game is the same. Throw the masses into a state of disarray and rob them of their hard-earned gains.

How did we reach this apex or nadir?

Cynthia Chung has a fascinating piece on the Saker site. It's a long read but well worth it:

https://thesaker.is/the-special-relatio ... nt-1128769

“Two systems are before the world; the one looks to increasing the proportion of persons and of capital engaged in trade and transportation, and therefore to diminishing the proportion engaged in producing commodities with which to trade, with necessarily diminished return to the labor of all; while the other looks to increasing the proportion engaged in the work of production, and diminishing that engaged in trade and transportation, with increased return to all, giving to the laborer good wages, and to the owner of capital good profits… One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other in increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world.”

– Henry C. Carey, Harmony of Interests, 1851

"These words written by Henry C. Carey at one time were understood by many to be the inherent difference between the English vs American economic system. However, today, we have forgotten much about what constitutes the American system."

How ideals were corrupted and a peoples coopted to the Dark Side.

My 2c:

1) the future is ultimately unknowable, to anyone; a WiseMan once mentioned to me in passing, something along these lines: "You won't profit by following a prophet."

If someone tells you that she is convinced she can see the future, however dimly, you should prolly run the other way, or at least consider it as a potential huge red flag. Both in and out of the markets ...

With that said:

-Build Back Better will fail, overall - don't think Russia and China (as well as the other TIMIA-BRICA countries ... Turkey/India/Mexico/Indonesia/Argentina/Brazil/Russia/Iran/China/Africa and their allies) will fall under the WEF/IMF/UN/WHO's complete control;

-however, aspects of the BBB will be slowly incorporated into our lives and accepted by the majority of the population; some potential examples:

a) increased taxation, capital controls - this is already happening, as you know; some sort of carbon tax is coming as well, justified by the "climate change" rhetoric;

b) more surveillance by governments - through increased use of digital currencies, digital passports (including "jabports"), and the like; pretty soon, access to all parts of the internet will be somewhat restricted (depending on your social credit score, whether officially tabulated or not), in the name of "misinformation" and "cybersecurity," for your own good, naturally; travel between countries will increasingly become more of a hassle, in general;

c) centralized farming - you've prolly noticed a large number of "mysterious" accidents happening to large food processing plants, food storage plants, farms etc., in the last few years, as well as intermittent incidents globally where large numbers of farm animals need to be euthanized ostensibly because of cv19/avianflu/monkeyflu/tofupox/ninjavariant/etc.

So yeh, seems to be a trend where the PTBs want to control the population by controlling the food supply even more. If you can't eat, you can't fight. Not for long, anyways. Still, there will be pushback (e.g. Dutch farmers, happening as we speak). Long-term, I'm bullish on small organic-type farming (will be a niche market for the expensive goods coming out of this sector) - this type of industry won't be enough to threaten the PTBs, so they'll let it grow, I would think, and just tax the hell out of it (including the carbon tax thing).

d) the Fed: I don't think a U.S. CBDC is on its way for quite some time; it's coming, but way down the line timewise, I am guessing; there's a lot of physical USD outside the USA, held by wealthy families and individuals, some of whom are extremely influential in world affairs; it would be tricky to create a USD CBDC and have all that USD cash offshore floating around, in terms of exchange rates and the like;

-the eurodollar system (loans denominated in USD by offshore entities/individuals to each other, etc.) is huge, and incorporating the >13 trillion USD (much larger, the 13 trillion is a minimum number and doesn't include shadow banking, off balance sheets liabilities, and so forth) somehow into a USD CBDC is going to be extremely challenging, so that's another reason a formal USD "FedCoin" is likely at least > 10 to 15 years away;

-the War on Cash will continue, of course - more and more "rules" about how much cash one may use in legal transactions, and lowering the limits one may carry between countries without reporting, and so forth;

e) I still believe in the Happy Cow Theory mentioned previously by others ... I don't think the Fed/PTBs want to really crush the entire population in order to implement the above. You want to give the illusion of freedom, while still stealing from and controlling the masses. Carbon taxation (for the good of the environment), the inflation stealth tax (wiping away the real value of government debt), constant testing and monitoring of the masses for a litany of viral variants (e.g. monkeypox, cv22, dim sum pox, vaccine-induced AIDS, etc.), will go a long way towards accomplishing the PTBs' goals.

So let's say the Republicans win in the fall, as expected ... there will likely be some cosmetic changes in taxation, hot trigger topics, etc. but the polarization of the West will continue, the money printing by the Fed will continue, the demonization of Russia and China will keep growing, the distraction of the potential of Taiwan getting "attacked" by the CCP will grow, more apparent viral ninja mutants, more vaccines, and the destruction of the middle class will continue.

But the Republicans winning later this year will give a bit of hope to a large segment of the American population. The ultimate in "controlled opposition."

It's not the FED's fault that the president and Congress wants to print more money (build back better). The FED really do seem to be trying to check inflation.

I keep thinking inflation is good for those with debt or who own means of production that increases in value (for example landlords or manufacturers who can raise prices. Who holds the most debt? Why the US government that's who. They pretend to not like inflation but expanding the money supply helps them create inflation, which means the 30 Trillion debt is easier to pay back. Not that they ever plan to pay it back anyway. I have a 3.75% fixed 30 year loan where I just banked the cash after I got the loan (normally you can't do that but this was an unusual circumstance). I've been stressed about how to invest it this last 2 years but I've done OK investing and keeping up the interest payments. This morning Capital One raised the rate on their regular savings account to 2.25%. If this keeps up I'll be able to pay my loan by just putting the money in a savings account. And I'll be paying loan back with inflated dollars. But maybe I'm thinking about it wrong.

I agree it could take a very long time before the FED reverses course. That's why I'm trying to sell a bit more aggressively than SOL and his team are recommending. Anything with even a small profit I want to take in the next month because I know I'll be living with the stocks that are negative for a very long time.

I'm not sure about the timing of the Fed pivoting. Could be late this year. Also depends on what one means by "reversing course."

Usually something serious has to break before Fed pivots. I.e. credit/treasury market illiquidity. High official unemployment, etc.

The Fed's got game, dude!

Some already think by going away from "forward guidance" to "data dependent" rate hikes, the Fed is signaling an unofficial "pivot."

They could also pivot by pausing rate hikes while still doing QT.

Lots of moves, have they ...

I agree the FED will pivot based on what's happening and if get's ugly fast they'll change course. but "fast" for them is like at lease 1-2 quarters of the shit hitting the fan. So far they're denying we're in a recession.

[AstuteShift]

The FED is very good at either being very stupid or being very good actors.

I’d venture the latter, that amount of power always breeds a cunning foe.

The FED it’s doing it’s job at destroying the masses wealth that’s for sure

[MarkD]

The FED is owned by the member banks. So marching orders come from outside fbo a third party.
