I just find it odd that it took this long for a Republican Representative to finally go and see Assange, but I am glad to see it is finally happening, now just get this ball rolling, enough with the teases from everyone, getting peoples hopes up that something is finally going to break, now lets please have something break soon! This roller coaster is driving me crazy. Pardon Assange and let's roll!

Things are heating up, something has to happen for sure now, as Trump is (optics wise at least from what we can tell) ... seems to be increasingly isolated. This Charlottesville thing was a set-up to paint Trump as a racist so that none (repubs or media) would support him, in fact, forsake him (surprise) ... Trump is ready for his "nuclear option" now. He's waited long enough, he's growing impatient, but he's hanging tough. We will see who is on the side of POTUS and who is not more clearly soon.

Edit: I am concerned about how the markets will ride any big events out, though I myself have no dog in the fight, well, not directly.

I've been trying to get my friends' dogs out of that fight, and they stupidly remark about how much they've already "made" even though nothing was actually sold.

Haha. If they've "made" anything they better put it into something physical. I know an "institution" that has over $300,000 in the bank and I keep telling them it's not really there, the only way to get it is to buy some real estate, gold, anything. Such a scam. A rising stock market is NOT a good thing and even Trump knows that as he's consistently called it a bubble. But if the MSM wants to give credit to Trump, he'll take it. Cause he's a master player. I just hope the whole thing doesn't come crashing down on POTUS's head.

I have this entirely unsupported idea that it was engineered to crash under hills (so she could either spectacularly save it or usher in the amero),, and trump ruined their plan. All oof the dem supporting industrialists woould have been bailed out - but trump promised to NOT bail anyone out so that plan is dead. Now the stock market is held up because there is noo exit strategy to seperate idiots from their money yet.

Fascinating, and quite plausible. More likely she would have ushered in the Amero. We dodged a bullet in that regard.

Exactly right, no exit strategy now, he who rides a tiger cannot easily dismount. I have no clue how things will pan out. We all know the money is worthless and asset prices are inflated.

Everyone knows the price of everything but nobody knows the (real) value of anything. Can't raise interest rates but need to, if they're raised at all it's a disaster. Americans have been living on cheap money that other nations are forced to use by threat of war, meanwhile we ourselves have quit producing.

It's hard to tell from our position (not high finance) but a big threat is appearing when china doesn't want any more of our debt. They are big enough to finance themselves,, and have made Oil and metal deals with other countries while avoiding using us dollars. That signals knowledge or fear of the dollar losing value. Everything needs a catalyst,, some event to blame. For instance, my commercial insurance went up because 911, and I have noothing to doo with any oof the companies involved,, nor am I in a big city. But you pay the new price "cuz terrists".

Yeah, and if all those (digital) dollars come back home from China and elsewhere it's gonna cause massive inflation. Wow, before this pizzagate stuff I used to really be in to that, the whole China absorbing our dollars and sending us "stuff." That brings back memories. I need to get back into that. I'm getting rusty. No, the US dollar will not remain the world reserve currency, and that's gonna be incredibly tough, who knows what's going to happen. I have gold and silver and stocked food. Talk later I'm in bed, nice chatting w/ someone who understands.

The future of money is bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. If you want to protect your savings, move it to bitcoin or similar.

Gold will come back. The value will be astronomical. The bankers all have gold.
