The Police State Is almost here

[AstuteShift]

Our rage index which we are going to rename as the rage discontent index is soaring, so there is going to be at least one event that mimics the marie Antoinette type situation. The world is being polarized like never before and since this is happening on a Global basis, we will reach a point where the last straw breaks the camels back and we will have a massive uprising that will shock the world. You can't keep pushing in one direction without some push back.

I’d say bring it

Freedom has no price.

Americans have been cuddled for too long

Freedom has no price.

Americans have been cuddled for too long

The price of freedom is death?

All revolutions before and since the American Revolution have been started by men with nothing to lose. The American Revolution was started by men that literally had everything to loose (most were very wealthy) and literally nothing to gain...except freedom. I just listened to Paul Harvey's "Our Lives, Our Fortunes, Our Sacred Honor" a couple days ago and it was fascinating.

That won't be good for the stock market.

Not necessarily - generally, it just means a lot of volatility. I can pretty much guarantee you and Centeron are going to go nuts . This should be fun to watch.

Lots of sharp moves to the downside, as well as to the upside. Different stocks will take turns getting hammered, then exploding up.

Although I'm a nervous nelly I generally have "gone nuts" by buying stocks. Unfortunately I've deployed 4/5ths of my account so not a lot of bullets left. That's why I've been more aggressive in cashing in the winners lately. I think the Trend Blazer stuff has made me more nervous as the calls are generally down and clock is ticking on them. Sooner or later the bull run WILL end and no one has a crystal ball. I think it's prudent to remain careful, even if that makes one look like a pussy.

Right now too many people are thinking the same thing you’re saying

However that’s a clear sign that the bull is only just beginning, this bull is insane, erratic and extremely powerful

Bulls only die in insane euphoric, moon blasting good fever. Even though the markets have been going up, people are still nervous about inflation, pullbacks and other useless nonsense

Also in this bull is the birth of AI in its infancy stage. Watch the full force when AI becomes mainstream and massively embraced

It will be interesting to see if people can adapt to the rapid change coming. My guess is not. I think the "rapid change" will be held back (partially) by people refusing to adapt and adopt. I think bulls can die any time they wish to die. Never underestimate the ability of the market to be irrational. True it will be tripped by the Fed, but when that happens it could get ugly quickly.

So go Italy, so goes EU and we'll not be far behind:

However, the second video in Armstrong's blog post shows the Italian police being bombarded with rocks. How long will they take such punishment without major retaliation?

Hello from Italy. The video do not show italian police bombarded. This is not Italy. Just look at cop's shields: POLICI is not italian, shields are blu in italy ecc ecc. Do not understand where it is happening but for sure it's not Italy.
Misinformation at its best.
And Letta is probably one of the most inept politician in the last 15 years (and it is not easy to be the worst here in Italy)

Thanks for that info.

Anyone know where these police are from?

Re: Letta. The more incompetent, the better from Draghi's point of view. Any suggestions that he's been bought off?

Congrats on the Euro. championship. I thought they had fixed it for England to win, like they did in 1966.

I play around with my own sentiment indicators, etc. & FWIW, it's showing the markets are climbing a "Wall of Worry" (WOW), at the risk of oversimplication.

The general pattern of WOW is when those in the neutral camp significantly outnumber those in the bullish and bearish camps, while the markets overall trend upwards, with sharp changes in the percentages of those in the bullish and bearish camps from week to week.

Not a crystal ball, but some new tea leaves.

If you feel nervous, this mantra may help you a bit:

"Embrace suffering. Laugh at pain. Life becomes easy."

Or if that doesn't work too well, this 2-minute clip is one of my favourites:

Unfortunately, Bill Hicks died at 32. Still, it's one of those clips I watch whenever I start to take money too seriously.

Bill Hicks got it! (My mind goes to Beluschi and Chris Farley, comedians who also passed around the same age in life.)

Hi DOCLUC thanks for providing this information. This is why its great to have so many astute subscribers from around the globe. They can help us spot mistakes fast. It looks like that might be Albania, for POLICI is the term Albanians use for Police. If i am not mistaken.

Astute could be right because that is the stance we are taking in the update that we are putting the final touches on. Should be sent out within the next 24 hours. More data is emerging to indicate that this market could pull a fast one on everyone. Will this hypothesis comes to pass? time will tell, but there is already quite a bit of data indicating that the market is going through a silent correction.

There's something strange about age 32, or early 30s in general. One of my all-time favourites as far as celebs go, Bruce Lee, was assassinated at age 32. Jesus supposedly died on the cross at that age, or thereabouts. Gautama Buddha awoke around that age, although legend has it that he lived until his 80s.

Also age 28 is a bit funny - lots of celeb deaths.

I don't think so even if he was selected by his own party (PD: partito democratico) to take the lead of the party just one month after Draghi was requested to be italian premier.
