Tom Nolan + 2,443 TN May 16, 2021 (edited) "The Markets are Rigged" by The Corbett Report also contains a transcript with sourced links and documents. At base, the markets are a con game where the rich and powerful employ a raft of confidence men to lure suckers into the latest mania. In this game, the suckers are the general public who are left holding the bag as the market bubble bursts while the smart money swoops in to buy up the leftover assets at pennies on the dollar. In this week's edition of The Corbett Report, James Corbett pulls back the curtain on the Wall Street casino and reveals how the house always wins the rigged games.

Gregory1972 + 30 GT May 17, 2021 Interesting that he starts off talking about GameStop, which speaks more to naïve investors - gamblers - than a rigged system. Anyone who makes investment decisions based on recommendations from some guy on Reddit, well, "a fool and his money are soon parted". I see market manipulation becoming less and less about 'insider trading' and more about social media buzz. Before April how many people had heard of Dogecoin? All it took were a few tweets from Musk and the price took off. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChonsPonl + 1 CP February 15, 2022 When a person first gets to a bookmaker, he finds himself in a world of incomprehensible numbers, acronyms, and specific designations. Sports betting, as I see it, is entertainment. You have to pay for it, like a roller coaster or going to a bar for a beer. You will win and lose. And you will almost certainly lose more than you earn. Most of us have tried betting on a sport at least once. Although this is more true of the male sex. Thanks to a friend who helped me with this; we bet together and had sound money. Thanks to his skills, I can analyze the outcome of matches and earn on it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notsonice + 1,255 DM February 28, 2022 Putin destroying Russia ...One step at a time Russia central bank more than doubles key interest rate to 20% to boost sinking ruble PUBLISHED MON, FEB 28 20222:11 AM ESTUPDATED 4 HOURS AGO Natasha Turak@NATASHATURAK SHAREShare Article via FacebookShare Article via TwitterShare Article via LinkedInShare Article via Email KEY POINTS The bank also said it would be freeing 733 billion rubles ($8.78 billion) in local bank reserves to boost liquidity. Russia’s stock and derivatives markets will stay shut on Monday, the central bank said. The dramatic developments underline fears of a run on Russia’s banks. Russia’s central bank in Moscow. Gavriil Grigorov | TASS | Getty Images Russia’s central bank on Monday more than doubled the country’s key interest rate from 9.5% to 20% as its currency, the ruble, hit a record low against the dollar on the back of a slew of new sanctions and penalties imposed on Russia by Europe and the U.S. for its invasion of Ukraine. The rate hike, the central bank said, “is designed to offset increased risk of ruble depreciation and inflation.” This follows the central bank’s order to halt foreigners’ bids to sell Russian securities in an effort to contain the market fallout. The ruble fell as far as 119.50 per dollar, down a whopping 30% from Friday’s close. It later pared some of its losses, trading at 93.04 per dollar by 3:30 p.m. in Moscow, still down roughly 20% against the dollar in the last year. Russia’s stock and derivatives markets will stay shut on Monday, the central bank said. The bank also said it would be freeing 733 billion rubles ($8.78 billion) in local bank reserves to boost liquidity. Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina will hold a briefing at 1 p.m. London time Monday. The dramatic developments underline fears of a run on Russia’s banks. Already, long lines to withdraw cash have been seen at ATMs in Russian cities. Sberbank Europe, which is owned by Russia’s state-run Sberbank, says it has experienced “significant outflows of deposits in a very short time.” 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArnoldBernadette + 1 AB January 13, 2023 Gambling in any society carries heavy negative information about itself. However, analyze the whole situation. If everything in a bookmaker's office was bought, how could ordinary players win? I studied a lot of online reviews before I started gambling myself and saw different stories of people who won a good amount of money. That's why I got a thrill to try my luck.

I prefer something that can bring me money with my skills. I am a good poker player, i have played it since i was 17. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron Wagner + 706 May 13, 2023 I am no economist but am with the conservative economists which use common sense. I see inflation and government overspending as leading to disaster eventually. The government lies to us about how it spends the money that it gets. Now we are to the point, in America, where we will not be able to pay the interest on our national debt while it grows. The Democrats only know how to spend money to strengthen their political power. RINO Republicans go along with them and get rich while the middle class gets poorer and poorer.

Then added 10’s of billions to the military. When Covid happened he of course asked for billions more and became the biggest spending president for a 4 year streach in history. Like the George Bush big spending along with relaxing regulations almost took the worlds economy down. Republicans have a very poor economic message and record. You would think they would learn. They are more concerned about a Coup and stealing elections than being fiscal consertivities like in the Clinton years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Wagner + 706 May 14, 2023 (edited) Democrats stole the last presidential election through censorship of all the existing information about the Biden crime family going back to the Biden Vice Presidency. The Democrats have taken control of every agency in the federal government. Allowing the unionization of the government agencies was the worst decision of the JFK administration. That effect can also be seen in the disintegration of the public schools after they gained too much political power, librarians, socialist professors, and so on. https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Interim-Staff-Report-A-President-Compromised-The-Biden-Family-Investigation.pdf Edited May 14, 2023 by Ron Wagner 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Changing the explanation now? Nothing was stolen as nobody owned the election. As for criminal history, look at who is actually under trial(s). Paying hush money to a whore is not censorship of criminal history in your mind? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A second report out from Congress’s Weaponization committee examines how a letter signed by 51 intelligences operatives aided the Biden campaign in its cover-up of the Hunter Biden laptop that led to the revelations above, and more. The report confirms a number of bombshell revelations including a major admission from former acting CIA director Michael Morell, who admitted in testimony to drafting the statement from 51 former intelligence officials with a view to “help[ing] Vice President Biden in the debate.” Morell and his colleague Marc Polymeropoulos even went so far as to exchange text messages boasting about their efforts duping the American public into believe the hard drive was “Russian disinformation” and suggested there may be jobs, or money involved as a reward. That admission came against the backdrop of America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) itself “fast tracking” the letter, and even reportedly approaching former intelligence officials with a view to having them sign onto the letter too, which they did. In effect, the CIA aided a foreign-linked presidential campaign (that of the Bidens) against the sitting Commander-in-Chief, President Trump. Asked about his role in the letter, Morell confirmed to Congress: “[T]here were two intentions here, right? One was to make clear to the American people that the Russians were interfering in the election, and the other was to help Vice President Biden in the debate.” Asked why he and his fellow signatories to the now-infamous letter wanted to help Joe Biden, Morrel responded: “Because I wanted him to win the election.” MUST READ: Most Americans Want Biden's Secretary of State Antony Blinken IMPEACHED for Covering Up Hunter Biden's Hard Drive from Hell.
