The Coup Has Begun – The Empire Strikes Back

“I am altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further.” -  Darth Vader, “The Empire Strikes Back”

“Why this, why now?”

Look at the headlines and you’ll see what I’m talking about. All of these things happened since I woke up at 7:30am Monday morning.

1. The British Supreme Court just arrogated unprecedented power to itself by inserting itself into any dispute between the Government and Parliament. This upends more than 300 years of constitutional process.

2. The Democrats have announced they will pursue impeachment charges against President Trump because an unverified, hearsay whistleblower made a complaint about a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski. Impeachment odds soared overnight as someone was tipped off about the Democrats’ plan.

3. Bitcoin’s hashrate mysteriously flash-crashed more than 40% presaging a massive $1500 drop in price.

4. Donald Trump delivered a blistering critique of socialism at the United Nations General Assembly. Too bad he’s nearly as bad as the ones he’s fighting on the far left.

5. Europe’s Trio of Faded Glory — The UK, France and Germany — joined in the chorus of unverified condemnation of Iran in the attack on the Saudi oil field on the 14th.

6. The Federal Reserve continues to bail out banks to the tune of $65 to $75 billion per day through overnight repo operations that no one can give us an explanation as to why they’re needed.

This feels to me like a multi-level coup against those that dare stand athwart the global power structure. Both British and American leadership institutions are under sincere attack with these moves.

The not-so-subtle message is, “We own you. We are in control and always will be.” Your champions will be harassed until they are completely neutered and bereft of any ability to implement the changes you want.

I do this off my phone....you should see the format on the posts from Jame’s and DT! One word per line....a bit hard to read.

Click on the link instead. And then buy a laptop.

First, I am presently unemployed as you trader types are manipulating the market and keeping the price of oil down...I can’t afford a laptop at present (smart-arse😄).

I figured it was some double secret trader cipher meant to further confuse the normal folks on the planet...

You guys are also probably solely responsible for income inequality, I just haven't figured out how to tie you to the crime yet...

Haha @Douglas Buckland  , the article wouldn't post nicely when I tried and was all over the place so I centralised the whole thing to tidy it up. That may be why it's tough to read, but the link should open fine.

And yes, it's all me. The income inequality is @James Regan though.

James is a Subsea Engineer. They have a difficult time conjugating verbs. Doubt he could engineer global income inequality.

That said, if he did, I need to contact him and get in on the game!

Does that mean you are an unemployed corporate entity? To paraphrase another Star Wars quote: 'droids aren't welcome here'.

[Douglas Buckland + 6,308]

Give it a rest Meredith! We are all aware of the fact that you do not understand how or why I utilized the term ‘corporate entities’. You are like a dog with a bone.

Your time would be much better spent paraphrasing Star Wars quotes.

There is no need to buy a laptop. On the side bar of your Chrome browser, click on 'desktop site'. That appearance should then be the same as a PC web page.

'Desktop site' on a phone is microscopic.  Suitable for ants only.

Thanks for the hint Hotone, but I’d need new glasses to be able to read it!

To Quote a recent topic that was so full of shit it makes me sick, "dont bring a rapist to a gun fight" (or something along those lines I never paid much attention as the poster was a Prick) or was it Rapier, I get confused? Its not hard in my line of business. Conjugation big word for a drilling hand, as were on the subject "Touche"

Any mouldy cheese around?

[Douglas Buckland + 6,308]

I had to look it up...😂

Yawn. Desperate much?
