NO YOU AINT

thou art a cuck!

Are you done being a schizo?

Alright, class, gather ‘round! Imagine we’re talking about a big, silly game some grown-ups played with money—except it wasn’t a game, it was a giant mess called "basis trades" with U.S. Treasuries. Now, these Treasuries are like super-safe IOUs from the government, and the grown-ups thought they could trick everyone and get rich quick. Let me explain how these numbskulls thought this was a "smart" idea, even though it was really just a sneaky, greedy scam.

Picture this: there are two toy stores. One sells a toy car for $10, and the other has the same car for $11. A clever kid might buy the $10 one and sell it to the $11 store, making $1 without doing much. That’s called arbitrage—finding a price difference and pocketing the extra. Easy, right? Well, these basis trade bozos thought they could do that with Treasuries and something called "futures." Futures are like a promise to buy that toy car later at a set price. Sometimes the promise costs more or less than the real car does right now.

Here’s where it gets dumb. These grown-ups—let’s call them the Greedy Gang—noticed that Treasury bonds (the real IOUs) and Treasury futures (the promises) didn’t always cost the same. Maybe the bond was $10, but the future was $10.05. That’s a tiny 5-cent difference! Most people wouldn’t bother with such a small gap—it’s like picking up a penny off the sidewalk. But the Greedy Gang thought, “Oh ho! We’re geniuses! We’ll buy the cheap one and sell the expensive one and make that 5 cents every time!” They figured since Treasuries are super steady, like a boring old rock, the prices would always line up eventually, and they’d win.

But wait, class—here’s the really idiotic part! That 5 cents wasn’t enough for these selfish ding-dongs. They wanted millions. So they borrowed tons of money—like borrowing your whole allowance for a year—to buy tons of bonds and futures. Imagine borrowing $100 from your mom to buy 1,000 toy cars just to make $5 total. That’s what they did! They called it "leverage," which is a fancy word for “borrowing way too much to look cool.” They’d borrow 50 or even 100 times what they had, thinking, “We can’t lose! This is free money!”

Why did they think this was smart? Because Treasuries are boring and safe, like your grandma’s old couch—nobody thought the prices would wiggle much. They figured they could keep this scam going forever, raking in tiny profits over and over, and nobody would notice. It’s like stealing crumbs from a cookie jar and thinking you’re a master thief because nobody catches you—until the jar’s empty and everyone’s mad!

But here’s the catch, kids: the world isn’t that simple. Sometimes the toy store runs out of cars, or the price jumps to $12 out of nowhere because everyone panics. That’s what happened in April 2025. The Greedy Gang’s big plan fell apart when the prices didn’t behave. They had to sell everything fast, like dumping all their toys at a yard sale for a nickel each, and it turned into a giant disaster. They lost tons of money—trillions—and made everyone else’s money shaky too. It wasn’t smart; it was just fraud dressed up as a fancy trick, and theft from people who trusted the system to be fair.

So, class, what’s the lesson? These basis trade clowns weren’t geniuses—they were greedy fools who thought they could cheat the rules. And when their house of cards fell, we all saw it was just a big, dumb lie. Don’t be like them—play fair, and don’t borrow a mountain of candy to trade for a gumdrop! Got it?

lol im in a funny mood, and these days its fun to poke the artifice intelligence...each one of these artifices is its own kind of bonsai plant offered up by the IT dudes on the other side. CoPilot for example, is a politically correct mute faggot, much like most people today.

The Grok AI scenario paints a far more dire, systemic liquidity crisis in the bond market than the initial tariff-driven sell-off. Here’s how this new information alters the analysis and advice:
---
Key Adjustments to the Situation
Systemic Risk, Not Just Tariffs:
The bond market collapse is now driven by leverage-fueled basis trades imploding, not just tariffs. This is a structural liquidity crisis akin to 2008 or March 2020, where forced selling creates a self-reinforcing downward spiral.

Liquidity Drought:
The repo market (critical for funding basis trades) freezing up means even "safe" Treasuries are becoming illiquid. Prices could overshoot fundamentals as margin calls force indiscriminate selling.
Fed Intervention Uncertainty:
Grok hints at potential Fed action (e.g., emergency bond-buying). If the Fed steps in, bonds could rebound sharply. If not, the crisis could metastasize into a global debt panic.

---

Revised Strategic Advice

Do Not Buy Bonds (Yet) If:

Fed Intervention Signals

Emergency FOMC Meetings: Watch for unscheduled meetings—rare unless crisis is severe.
• Example: March 2020 emergency rate cuts + QE.
New Liquidity Facilities: Look for repo/Treasury backstops.
• Key Phrase: “Full range of tools to support markets.”
QE Resumption: Large Treasury buys = bond “buy” signal.
Reverse Repo Adjustments: RRP rate changes signal short-term fixes.

Market Stress Gauges
Repo Meltdown:
• SOFR > 6% = Funding freeze.
• Higher Collateral Demands (e.g., 105% vs. 102%) = Liquidity crunch.
Yield Chaos:
• 10Y/30Y Yields Spike = Fed credibility doubted.
• Yields Rise Amid Panic = Systemic red flag.
Basis Trade Collapse:

I'd be far more interested about life in Sweden. You Swedes have been the butt of jokes about being cucks to mass immigration for decades now. Entire webseries were made to mock that. How truthful is it?

>>22683
I live too much in the countryside to know anything about the bigger cities where most of this is supposedly taking place. It's been years since I visited in there, it just doesn't interest me, so I couldn't say. I think however the political climate is completely retarded, with controlled opposition vs controlled opposition, both the government and the opposition are subverted and they both think they are the outsiders, leaving complete walk-over to NATO and EU.

It's ridiculous how they sent 1/4 of our military equipment to Ukraine while just saying "well it means we reduced our army's strength by 1/4th" and then no further comments. We're not talking about some surplus here, they're just giving things away.

Meanwhile the rising food prices are wrecking everyone, many people can't afford the basics, some skip meals. They still go on vacation, by taking loans with no security. I think a large part of Swedes have lost their minds.

There are a lot of reports about Turkish gangs and media rumours literally quoting Mossad saying that Iran is paying Turks to perform shootings here. No idea how true this really is.

It's not really about some Africans or Islamists, it's all about Turks selling drugs and fighting their own.

Thanks for sharing. That doesn't sound very dissimilar from living in the United States. Just a few minor details are different.

>>22679
It's now happening to some banks in China too. There are also FINCEN laws in place in America to prevent bank runs. If you want to withdrawal more than 10K you need to file it in a government database and get permission in advance before doing so.

Yah, we have a lot of similar problems in America only we have a lot more land, so even though the cities are becoming completely destabilized by foreign gangs and drug dealers, there are still a lot of smaller and medium sized rural towns and communities that are still safe (at least for now that is). Once it starts to spread to the rural rust belt areas I think that will be a death knell indication that America as we knew it is too far gone and beyond repair. I heard someone say long ago the mountains are by far the safest retreats in America. Too late for me to move though, we already paid the mortgage off on our rural homestead and no way do we intend to ever sell it. At this point my mentality is this is the soil to die on, regardless how or when.

I have been seeing youtube videos about the crime situation in New York. And it's bad, they are basically rotating the understaffed police between the metro and the streets in an endless cycle of chasing crime waves that happen after moving police from one to the other.

In regards to the OP, I remember a couple months ago China had a bank run situation after the collapse of a big real state developer.

I think the whole financial systems runs on hopes and dreams at this point. Everyone is indebted to ridiculous points knowing the debt can not be paid. And I am talking governments, businesses, regular people, the banks themselves... everyone is expecting some economic mumbo jumbo from the government to forgive all debts(like the whole student loan fiasco in america).

We basically live in a system that encourages debt and those who pay the debt last are going to be the ones to suffer the consequences. The banks know this and they also know that bank runs are a psychological event as much as an economic one and thus they are spending tons of debt trying to gaslight the public that everything is fine.


Because the moment one bank run happens the whole financial system comes crashing down

Typical. Two jews meet and stroke each other's egos. Trump may work to stop Russia vs. Ukraine, but he's vocally for Israel continuing to massacre Palestinians.

US and Russia hold talks on Ukraine war in Saudi Arabia

Won't open a new thread for this. I have not chased "properly vetted" news source, so just relying on Al Jazeera, which sources the article to:
>Al Jazeera and news agencies
"News agencies" for them typically means Reuters.

Anyway.
US Secretary of State Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov met in the company of other officials in Saudi Arabia, which counts friendly for both sides. Basically this is a first touch, where they outlined some generic positions and agreed that they'll talk more.
Question is when Trump and Putin will meet. And where. That will be important. If one of them visits the other in his country that will signal who has the stronger position.
Despite neither Ukrainian nor European politicians, diplomats were invited, Zelensky also flew to Saudi Arabia. He said Ukraine wants security guarantees, and that they won't recognize anything as Russian territory.

I find this line interesting:
>Peskov also acknowledged that Ukraine has the right to join the European Union, but said Moscow has “a completely different position” regarding military alliances, such as NATO.
So according to them, whatever left from Ukraine can join EU, but not NATO.

tbh, "properly vetted" news sources are frequently untrustworthy and Al Jazeera is more reliable. Especially considering this board's focus, the first line of the header and Rule 1 of the board - Mainstream (((peer))) reviewed sources don't align, but Al Jazeera tends to. Besides, you understand not posting lazy one sentence nothing burgers. So feel free to start a thread whenever you want.

The next article is about EU reactions.

Trump’s Ukraine policy shift: How are European leaders planning to respond?

Various European leaders and NATO officials had this meeting in Paris hosted by Macron. They are very concerned and supportive to Ukraine. I think the key takeaway is this:
>“Nothing has emerged from the public statements from the Paris meeting that shows Europe is any closer to proposing, let alone implementing, anything,” Keir Giles, a senior consulting fellow at Chatham House, told Al Jazeera.
And an interesting paragraph:
>United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer has floated the idea of sending British troops to Ukraine as well as Sweden. But German Chancellor Scholz has called the discussion to deploy troops “completely premature”.

My commentary:
This whole circus shows how weightless this bunch is. They can talk any bs and play the great statesmen without the fear that they actually have to deliver. They can give empty promises, such as NATO membership, while knowing very well that certain countries (eg Hungary, Slovakia) will veto it anyway. They can offer more money and weapons and sanctions without limits, despite their economies can't deliver shit, and blame certain leaders (stooges like Orbán and Fico) that they are delaying and torpedo their plans. They can rattle their sabers and then blame Trump that he made a deal over their head, they couldn't do anything.
Each and every one of these countries could support Ukraine individually, but somehow they needed a collective NATO effort to deliver weapons at some point, and then blame Hungary for the delay. They wanted to do it collectively because they did not want the blame falling on them individually when they failed (failed not just for their inability but for the lack of motivation).

arent those beavers

What drives a man to go to the most isolated corners of the Internet and post nonsense sensationalized headlines?

>>22998
I think they are. Yeah

Zero hedge sometimes does that. Make things a little too overdramatic. I don't think those beavers will even survive since it probably never snows in San Francisco. Right?

that looks like a capybara lol

What I am hearing at this moment is that North Carolina State Police will start arresting Federal employees who are objective & obstructive to aide coming from outside sources and domestic residents within the affected areas.

And for those who may question how are thru able to do this. Well it is called State Sovereignty. Something that is preserved under Common Law. All you have to do is read the 10th Amendment. Which clearly have outlines & bylines as to how assistance is rendered to disaster zones. FEMA is supposed to operate in accordance with the state. Not becoming the central authority that override local authorities on all things considered safe & effective.

State Rights do not erode under crisis or disaster scenarios where the federal government can operate with impunity and dictate how assistance is mandated while also hindering those efforts at the same time without that State also having the right to prevent overhead & overreach from imposing and exerting unauthorized authority to the detriment of said areas.

FEMA is in a pressure cooker at this time as the world is now realizing they are the sole party preventing aide from reaching the citizens of North Carolina. Now that Elon Musk has posted about how difficult it has become to implement Starlink to help bolster communications to millions of people it will become even more obvious at tomorrow's rally.

We are in the thick of this situation with things becoming clearer earmuffs that we have a domestic terrorist organization posing as a agency who presents itself as the altruistic authority with conditions that if not met decides the fate of whether or not you deserve to live or die.

"I feel sorry for you white people!"
"The first amendment protects us!"
How do these gumdrop brained idiots feel that they will be allowed to continue parading their idiocy?

Apologies for the niggerism, it was a typo

Or.... possibly.... Israel. Maybe? That is one other possibility.

>Israel
He'll never expose them. He's a known Fed informant.
>So there's no reason to give the general public free news anymore; they don't pull their own weight.
And clearly an ass.

>>22513
I don't know about that, Hal Turner has criticized Israel numerous times before and clearly is not a big fan of Zionism, he remains vocally against the genocide in Gaza btw.

As for his donation requests. I kinda get it honestly, it does take money to broadcast a radio show and run a website (plus imagine the time to do all that). All that comes with expenses and if he doesn't have any ad revenue then he relies on public funding. Unless he has a lot of extra cash and is wealthy, it's a financial strain for him. If he were to shut down there would be another source of information gone (last one being Jim Stone who was likely killed, last I heard Jim was deliberately run over while riding his motorcycle and suffered extensive injuries).

>>22514
Ah, then I retract what I said about him not exposing Israel. About being a rat though.

>>22515
I'm not saying you got to like the guy or that he's trustworthy IRL, he just puts out pretty good intel (most of the time). Kinda like Jim Stone used to do before he got killed.

>>23064
>>23063
So was this Gaza thing that happened by them just a ploy to go to war against Iran or something? Feels like it sometimes.

>>23063

...and of course today on 10.29.2024, (only three days after their failed missile strikes on Iran), the jewfag Israeli IDF kikes annouce their own ‘Iron Beam’ Laser Interception System set to become operational in 2025.



`

>>23073
Remember the Iron Dome that didn't shoot down shit but tricked stupid Israelis into thinking it worked? Yeah, I believe it's more of the same.

>>23067


Israel will never be able to invade Iran, nor have a full scale war against the Persians. Several channels have reported that the Chinese PLA sold the "Shen Nung 3000/5000 Laser Shield" directly to Mohammed bin Salman, and then the KSA Saudi fags sold the Laser Defense System to the IRGC of Iran.

Now the IDF kikes are preparing their own "Iron Beam" to deploy in full on damage control lol

Iran will survive because they joined the BRICS+ nations and are strong allies with China and Russia (two of the three modern superpowers today). Globohomo made a big mistake underestimating Russia and China, and the BRICS+ trade union, in general. The US government is now pissing off India by sanctioning them too because they are trading with Russia and China. Not a good idea as India is also a nuclear superpower. Europe not only cut ties with Russia, some European governments are cutting ties with China now too (another colossal mistake!) European economy is in the gutter over these failed policies. The US is heavily de-industrialized and relies on other nations for essential commodities. Israeli economy is not doing very well either, because of the mass migration OUT of Israel by Jews who wish to flee being drafted into the wars. Bad for business as many merchants are fleeing Israel as well. Israel can only survive as long as the US Empire can prop them up. Without China or Russia as allies Israel cannot maintain their wars or hegemony. BRICS+ is the future.
