"Mama Bear" Gail Dudak knew stock shit didn't add up back when Louis Rukeyser was still alive and fired her from his show. That's how long the "new paradigm" has been unsustainable. Clue: stock value propped up by buy-backs.

That's like selling Amway and you are your own best customer.

Stock valuations mirror the extremes of 1929 and the market is at risk of a steep crash, investor John Hussman has said per BI."Investors are presently enjoying the double-top of the most extreme speculative bubble in US financial history," Hussman wrote.

#Senators’ ownership of Big Oil #stocks raises conflict of interest concerns
By Alexis Sterling -December 1, 2023

..."eight of the ten senators are Republicans, collectively owning up to $1,106,000 of these stocks, approximately 92% of the total. This is noteworthy, considering the Republican senators’ historical stance on #climate change #legislation and their influence on committees that directly oversee #environmental #policies.

Among these senators, Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) holds the most substantial investment in Big Oil, with stocks valued between $119,006 and $360,000 in Exxon and Chevron. Moran, a member of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, has a track record of opposing climate regulation and endorsing fossil fuel projects like the Keystone XL pipeline. His committee has jurisdiction over issues directly affecting climate change, such as environmental disasters and oceanic matters.

Nebraska Senator Pete Ricketts, a Republican with a diversified Big Oil portfolio, is another significant figure in this context. Owning stocks in Chevron, Exxon, Phillips 66, Valero, and ConocoPhillips, Ricketts, as a newly appointed member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, has substantial sway over environmental laws and the Environmental Protection Agency.
...
The senators’ financial ties to the fossil fuel industry come at a time when crucial legislation like the IRA, aimed at mitigating the climate crisis, is being debated and passed. The consistent opposition from Republican senators against such legislation, juxtaposed with their investments in fossil fuel companies, paints a concerning picture of the influence of personal financial interests on critical policy decisions.

This scenario is not limited to the Senate. A 2020 Sludge analysis found that across Congress, members own up to $92.7 million in fossil fuel stocks, highlighting the pervasive nature of these investments in legislative circles."...

#lmao @ this piece from the #bbc regarding #chemtrails. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-62240071
oh, it's total bunk is it? total "conspiracy theory" eh? except the stuff acknowledged long time ago, even #biotrails. but none of it's happening since the 1950s and 1960s eh? lol. trust Alistair Coleman, "Disinformation specialist". lmao. XD too funny. gotta love that level of #investigativejournalism. lol. beyond incompetence. beyond neglect. is it's not possible to trot out a piece like that without bending over backwards to avoid the truth, and spin the wordings and article structure through cognitive dissonnance. heh, i needed another good laugh.

for it to be a conspiracy, you'd think it'd necessarily be a lot more covert. you can look up companies advertising their services for cloud seeding. amusingly, the phrase "cloud seeding" does not appear once in the article. well thanks Alistair Coleman for telling us what's the doubleplus goodthink overton window we're allowed. lol.
... i had to triple check... and it still seems incredulous to me, that the article genuinely was published 23 July 2022... not 1992. not 2002, not even 2012. just last year. ... at least 20 years since such services have been openly advertised. that's got to be something beyond just cognitive dissonance, right? that's gotta be... what... paid to spin implausible lies? some kind of serious dissorder of psyche?
it's not like you have to try hard to find many companies offering cloud seeding services. it's an effortless first page websearch. you don't have to dig. there's nothing cryptic about it. they get their services climbing high in search algorythm results. ... or am i somehow more crazy than i've considered so far, and are completely halucinating when seeing such results?
XD
if it's not my next level crazy, then you can go buy stocks on the stock markets in various weather modification and cloud seeding companies, read articles in all the usual financial news/advertising outlets promoting such companies, hear from their ceos/directors and advertising departments directly extoling the, not only virtues and advantages of their services, but the "necessity" for our times.
i wont bother plucking an assortment of them to link here for you (i dont think they deserve promotion), and instead i'll just leave it to you to #lookup the websearch results for yourself... or even just go outside more often, #lookup and play "chemtrail or contrail?" with yourself, with friends, with anyone in earshot.

that was such hilariously implausible disinformation propaganda from alistair coleman and the bbc.

may wanna look into #geoengineering more seriously than that farcical pantomime of implausibility.

if anything does take more digging deeper into websearches abot it, it may be the stuff about biotrails and experimenting on the spread of pathogens on the public [edit: the recent hubub about #candidaauris has me wondering if that were one of the ones i read about being biotrailed in 2015 or so] ... but, alistair coleman pointed out this has been done... XD ... so it's not like that's in denial and something to discover a new as a fresh revelation. lol. so loopy. but yeah, #dontlookup all the other times that's been done in various places since the 1950s/1960s, since that's the only time that was done, according to alistair coleman. or at least as i skim read it.

lemme know if (and how) i'm way off, grabbed the wrong end of the stick from my skim read of that piece.
was it intentional satire? is chemtrail denialism now the target of satirical roasting? is the position "disinformation specialist" a satirical joke intended to point out the absurd? or are people really that far gone in an orwellian hole, that it's to be taken seriously? XD or just him telling you he's doing disinformation?

... i was about to semi-rhetorically ask if people were that stupid and gullible to fall for that.... but then i remembered reading a piece earlier on today pointing out that some people do not even know stars are suns, or that the world isnt flat.

#satire #unintentionalsatire #disinformation #disinformationspecialist #weathermanipulation #chemtrails #biotrails #geoengineering #toofunny #ow #lol #lmao #dontlookup #lookup #websearch #publiclytraded #stocks #conspiracytheory #advertised XD

Chemtrails: What's the truth behind the conspiracy theory?

A conspiracy theory about aircraft vapour trails takes hold on clear summer mornings.

Send This to Anyone Who Wants to Know WTF Is Up With GameStop Stock

... GameStop, a company that sells physical copies of video games next to Auntie Anne’s pretzel shops in dying malls, is the most highly traded asset in the United States, a “meme stock,” and currently the primary front in a micro class war. GameStop’s stock price jumped from $4 last summer to $20 at the end of 2020, to $40 two weeks ago. It was worth $100-ish at times on Monday and Tuesday, and as I write this it is worth close to $300. Essentially, many normal-ish people have made a huge bet against gigantic financial institutions and are currently winning. In practice this means we are seeing one of the largest wealth transfers from the financial ruling class to the middle and middle-upper classes in recent memory, so it is, understandably, the only thing anyone is talking about.

How did this happen? A bunch of Redditors in the r/WallStreetBets subreddit, led by a person going by "DeepFuckingValue," analyzed GameStop stock and concluded that its price was undervalued. They then, over the course of months, identified a weakness in the strategies of several giant hedge funds that had bet many millions of dollars that GameStop would fail.

These Redditors purchased huge numbers of GameStop stock at low prices (and then kept buying more as the prices rose), held it, and are currently forcing something known as a “short squeeze” that is driving the price up and is emptying these hedge funds in the process. These Redditors are diamond-handing (holding) their stocks, imploring each other to not be a weak-minded stock seller (paper hands) and are waiting for their messiah Ryan Cohen—the CEO of Chewy.com who invested millions in GameStop last year—to hitch them to his rocket and take them to the moon/sun/Mars (become very rich). ...

...

The rallying cry of the entirety of the WallStreetBets subreddit and its extraordinarily chaotic Discord became: buy GameStop stock, hold it, and fuck over the big hedge funds, specifically Melvin Capital and Citron Research, which, throughout this entire saga, was publishing various YouTube videos about why it believed GameStop stock would go down....

...

This brings us to this week. By all accounts, Melvin Capital is in deep trouble. Earlier this week, it took in $2.75 billion in funding, reportedly to help cover its GameStop shorts. A prominent venture capitalist said he was buying GameStop stock. Every financial publisher is talking about GameStop stock. Elon Musk, who, again, famously hates Tesla's short sellers with a burning passion, tweeted about GameStop stock and said that he's hanging out in the WallStreetBets Discord. Meanwhile, the GameStop shorts have seemingly not figured out an elegant way out of this...

I'd noticed a bit of a ruckus but had been out of the loop until now.
