Independent thinking for complex markets and current events
by Chris Black Short recap of Russia/Ukraine war narratives pedaled by mainstream media: > 1- Russian victory is impossible >2- Russian victory is unlikely >3- Russia can’t be allowed to win (you are here) >4- Russia is winning, but at what cost? >5- Russian victory was inevitable >6- Ukraine was a corrupt hellhole anyway >7- …
by Chris Black I can find articles from as recently as two years ago where he quotes the ADL’s bogus anti-Semitism statistics as a legitimate authority. What is his angle here, I wonder. . @elonmusk is now at war with the Anti-Defamation League, a progressive interest group that proclaims it is speaking in the name …
by Chris Black A few anti immigration books written by leftists are coming out and it’s ticking Matthew Yglesias off. Conservatives and right wingers more broadly have completely dropped out of the immigration discussion. They seem more interested in who blew Obama in 1998 or reviving covid conspiracy theories. Who knows, maybe turning opposition to …
by Chris Black The US invaded and occupied Afghanistan for 20 years. The one consolation is that when they surrendered and fled the country (leaving it totally destroyed), they left behind billions in equipment. The Taliban said they would not sell the equipment to terrorists, and I don’t think they did (directly). But they can’t …
by Chris Black It’s somewhat comforting that the rich can’t even have nice things anymore. They made these decisions for all of us, and it’s good they have to deal with at least some of the consequences. Of course, they don’t have to deal with the main consequences, as their homes are still safe, which …
by Chris Black Telling people they need to save water is a bit like telling black people they’ll become rich by saving money. It’s not going to make a difference, and it’s cruel. Water is not something you have to use less of. Water is supposed to be in a constant cycle of use and …
by Chris Black I actually looked into this years and years ago, and found that there was not really anything this guy had other than a story, which he could have just made up. But who even cares? This is hilarious. A man who claims he had sex with Barack Obama in 1999 tells his …
by Chris Black This seems a bit excessive for a prolific confidential informant who wasn’t even in DC on January 6. Do you remember the time when Antifa rioted during the Trump inauguration, hundreds of them were arrested and every single one of them had their charges dropped? THE RULE OF LAW! BREAKING: Ex Proud …
by Chris Black There is zero reason, in any universe, that rich people would want to have less money. If you believe that rich people want to be taxed more, you are really going to get what you deserve. The Guardian: Developed and emerging economies must use a summit this weekend to forge an international …
by Chris Black The Chinese now look down upon the iPhone, and they are over 20% of the world’s population and probably around 50% of the people who are going to pay $1,200+ for a phone. So this is seriously, seriously cutting into Apple’s business. I mean, it’s already potentially cutting Apple’s high end customer …
by Chris Black A protest to force the government to follow the Constitution is somehow an insurrection against the Constitution? The Democrats actively work to subvert the Constitution with every act they do. By their own definition, no Democrat should be able to hold office. Schiff pushed for impeachment using documents he knew were false, …
by Chris Black From Jan 2022, just before Russia entered Ukraine and put an end to covid, the nudge units must have been up all night brainstorming this one, but the absurdity and desperation are obvious. If they go with COVID again, I expect them to go very gently to start with and then to …
by Chris Black This used to be a conspiracy theory a few years ago. Now they’re admitting it freely. The question is: what are they doing with people’s DNA? I mean, other than race-specific bio weapons? Because yeah, Alex Jones was right on this one.
by Chris Black People will be puzzled about this operation in the future, it’s literally the most idiotic attempt ever made in recent military history, and probably one of worst defeats in modern military history. Ukrainians, with every single factor stacked against them, tried to quickly breach a 20-30 km deep defensive belt, mostly because …
by Chris Black Trump signed off on the two weeks to slow the spread, believing that this was key to allowing the hospitals and the country to prepare. Most Americans agreed. He then went on TV and said that he wanted the country opened up by Easter. By the time he said that, the governors …
by Chris Black Trump’s claims are very coherent, and it seems to me he is likely right about how this will go. You’ll probably get some of it this fall/winter, but then in 2024, it will go into overdrive – about a year from now. I personally did not believe the coronavirus hoax was going …
by Chris Black Starting late this month, Twitter will be adding small print to their user agreement where they have the right to collect information about where you work, as well as require you to provide a personal ID and facial recognition to verify your account. The company Musk contracted to collect all of this …
by Chris Black The real problem is diversity and real estate speculators. Whites fleeing chocolate cities and expensive rents means tons of high rises in midsize urban enclaves are completely empty. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/how-the-urban-doom-loop-could-pose-the-next-economic-threat/ar-AA1fShoC
by Chris Black Illegal immigrants no longer ‘live in the shadows’ of American society, even in states where they were not previously welcome. The American state has been using a little know mechanism called “parole authority” to legalize illegal immigrants en masse. (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/immigration-parole-migrants-us-expansion-biden/) More than 541,000 illegals have been made legal residents of the United …
by Chris Black I know we do nothing but complain about the civil court system being totally rigged and corrupt, but Burger King deserves it. Burger King is not a king at all – it is the single mother of burgers. Look at this: Every couple of years, I see their ads that they are …
by Chris Black Maybe it’s time to go back to lock-downs and mask mandates to stay safe again. We’re in this together y’all! The worst part of all this is that they’re being so blatantly, painfully transparent this time, but NPC cattle don’t see it and will reluctantly but immediately fall in line the second …
by Chris Black Wait until Americans learn the “democracy” they have been spending all of their tax money on, the reason why our economy is in the shitter and everything is now 2-4X more expensive is actually a dictatorship. I’ve been telling people this all along. Zelensky says he told Lindsey Graham that he will …
by Chris Black This is called predictive programming. 🚨 Tucker Carlson Says There Will Be a Hot War w/ Russia Within the Next Year "They can't lose. They will do anything to win. So how do they do that? They're not going to do COVID again…They're going to go to war with Russia is what …
by Chris Black The Church’s morals didn’t change until Vatican II in the 1960s. Before that, you had nearly two thousand years of consistency. If you speak to neo-Catholics now, they will tell you that there was a great revelation in the 20th century, and they realized that morality is constantly in flux, and that …
by Chris Black You are never an ex CIA guy (or gal): It’s shocking that the Ukraine people are willing to continue dying in these numbers, and it’s shocking that there is not some kind of revolt. It seems like if they were going to do it, they would have done it already. It’s sort …
by Chris Black The image below is a screenshot from the website of the Council of Ministers (https://www.governo.it/it/articolo/comunicato-stampa-del-consiglio-dei-ministri-n-42/23077). Meloni’s cabinet website. The Meloni government is going to allow 452,000 new legal immigrants into Italy over the next three years. And they would like 833,000, but legislation does not (yet) exist to authorize that. The website …

by Chris Black Well? 🇺🇦 Why are we sending $200 BILLION to Ukraine when American looks like a ZOMBIE WASTELAND? pic.twitter.com/e9c8wLHO3s — Jackson Hinkle 🇺🇸 (@jacksonhinklle) August 28, 2023 America’s greatest threat is inside our own borders. Every single major USA city has miles of tents and shanty towns with begging drugged out homeless. Drive …
by Chris Black You can’t just put brown people in prison. Not after all they’ve been through during the Crusades, and what not. Remix: Despite 34-year-old Berhan S. breaking into the Protestant school in the multicultural Berlin neighborhood of Neukölln and stabbing two little girls, his crime will go unpunished. Instead, the courts have ruled …
by Chris Black Canada took less than 8 years to go from “incurable illness” and “intolerable suffering” to mostly made up mental illnesses “LOL KYS” used to be a joke people told others on the internet. Strangely, this attitude has become the official policy of the government of Canada. If you go to the …
