A couple of thoughts
1. China lockdowns were coordinated with PTB. Why? Warehouses in the USA are nearly full. My cousin is a corporate officer for a large logistics company and he confirmed this info.
2. Short haul truck rates are dropping and fuel prices are not.
3. Class 8 trucks ditto.
4. Longshoreman in Long Beach and the Northeast are attempting to negotiate new union agreements.
5. Hours worked by manufacturing employees are down from the peak. You can find this on FED FRED.
6. Layoff notices are being issued by many corps (Tech included).
I smell a rat regarding the Chicom Covid Lockdown 2.0 all coordinated for this and another reason: Wait until Jo / FUD / Congress get together with the PTB to "Save the Nation" and print another boatload.
The china lockdown is suspicious especially since all of Asia is opening up. Vietnam has done away with the need of having a vaccine certificate, a simple PCR test will suffice. In general, the mood in Asia is trending up. So if Manflation is removed from the equation energy prices will drop, a host of workers will be fired and the Fed will come to the rescue with north of 5 trillion dollars. Top traders get some crumbs, the shadow players get almost everything and the chains on the masses become thicker.
Who or what is "PTB" ?
I don't think China lockdown is coordinated or part of a conspiracy. It's just that Xi can't reverse course politically. He's too tied to the zero covid policy (dumb). As for the FED eventually coming to the rescue with money, I suppose it's bound to happen but it seems like a whole new economic cycle has to take place. that is multi-years out. i.e. we have to wait for inflation to moderate or we enter a recession etc. Energy prices coming down require either Russia war to resolve or we make nice with Saudi and UAE or start pumping ourselves. "Brandon" has managed to piss off both our domestic producers and those big producing countries. UAE and Saudi are enjoying the oil prices so lower fossil energy prices don't seem likely any time soon - may require a new president and war to end but even then people will start traveling, driving up demand. I personally think energy is key to the economy. I'd be interested in seeing research on this. If energy stays high probably so does inflation because energy drives prices for food and indirectly all other goods and services including housing.
Current atmospheric levels of CO2 (400ppm) are much lower than 500 million years ago (3000-9000ppm).

The above is a small sample. There are many others, in the shadows. Some of them may be in Sol Palha's former 4th Way group in the Big Apple. PTB = Powers That Be. Big Boys Club. Non-trans, from my understanding.

Dude. Kissinger's net worth is only $50 Million. More than me but hardly a titan. And if you mean his media influence or books I don't think I've seen an interview in years.

@SOL "some of the richest people use a complex set of structures to hide their wealth"
Yes, I heard that the richest of the richest with the power to destroy countries, i.e. Greece, and now USA, do not want their names to be known. Somehow they stay hidden behind the names that Yodean stated. Thus the name, Shadow Government.
I will see if I can find the specific information to post here. I originally heard it on the Matrixxx Groove show. https://www.survivethenews.com/tag/matrixxx-grooove/

Have heard some rather unkind suggestions that Putin drop one of his hypersonic missiles on the HQ of "Rottenchild" in London. Perish the thought but I've heard he may open to suggestions. Send your nominations on an Ivan VI Atonovich 1740 Rouble and mail to me - I'll make sure he gets 'em (honest)!

First i hope it can be returned to where it was and other subjects placed for the wordy discussions and Second what does this morhping to all over the place tell us about ourselves re and what is going on for us in the investments with TI?

You could set up a brand new section "strictly buys and sells only" or are you waiting for someone to do it for you?

Sorry, Centeron, I like you, too. But, you got to admit that was funny. And, I needed a good laugh today. All in good fun!!

Pretty good interview. Seems to share the sentiment that China and Russia are Frenemies, at best.
After the Russian Crisis stabilizes, not sure Vlad and Xi will be best buddies for too long. There is friction historically. China and Russia both tend to have long memories.
Suspect CCP will play the Russian Bear and the Bald Eagle against each other.
The Thieving Bald Eagle, the Angry Russian Bear, and the Shadow Chinese Panda ... this is not my kind of menage a trois, not fun at all - but regardless, the Herd will bend over and need ample amounts of vaseline. Stock up on the latter, as supply chain disruptions may make getting enough challenging.
Unless it knows how to be a Grey WISC, and use the Wheel Strategy effectively. Then the Individual stands a chance against the Collective. Much pain ahead.

The New Normal of trading - the old ways are being smashed, like little girl who doesn't know how to use big kettlebell or hang from tree for very long.
