Today was extremely important for optics for the greater populous. GameStop started out with a robust opening and soared around $460 per share (fundamentally the stock is probably worth $20-30). About fifteen minutes prior to the stock soaring, Robinhood disabled the ability to buy shares of GameStop. Many other brokers did the same following suit including WeBull, TD Ameritrade, Cashapp (stock wasn't even available by searching the GME ticker), and many others. You could still sell the stocks if you had shares, but you had no way of purchasing more shares. There was no explanation at the time.

So the shares were disabled from purchasing from many of the companies that retail investors were using, yet the stock soared in price. This indicates that companies were covering their short positions in rapid succession. What happened next was crazy - the stock plummeted around $340 per share in minutes and then was frozen. There was nothing to stop the plummet because so many retail investors were locked out from buying the stock as it was going down. We were locked out so suddenly before it went down that we didn't even have time to open another account from a different broker. We could still sell though!

The stock lulled because only certain retail investors had a broker that didn't ban buying the stock. Doom and gloom was the tone hoping that people would sit there and decide it was better to take a small loss/small gain rather than hold on to worthless stock. From looking the candlestick charts, to the volume traded, to the price of the stock now after hours, it looks like the doom and gloom had little to no effect on the holdings of retail investors. People held on saying they would rather go broke than let these stock manipulators walk away with a wounded win.

So why did the stock go down so sharply? It is most likely that the hedge funds tripled down on their shitty position with the thought that if the stock went down far enough and quick enough that people would lose faith. Who would hold onto a stock that just lost 75% of the value within minutes? They would need to be a grand conspiracy theorist! Surely they would tune into CNBC and see that this was a hopeless effort!

Here's the kicker. Later in the day RobinHood explained their actions on why they disabled trading on a select amount of stocks. They said that volatility on these stocks was a danger for the market and that action needed to be taken in order to protect investors. People were outraged and did not believe a word they said. The thing is, I believe they were telling the truth, but I believe they were telling the truth from a different perspective.

Here is the truth I believe they were telling. The stock market is about to start collapsing from many corners. These hedge funds are a lot more diversified than just GameStop, and their pain will be reverberate throughout the entire market. The strong dip today was the chance for retail investors to walk away and get a small market shakeup all around before things return to normal. Their refusal to do so combined with the triple down from the hedge funds has put us in a catastrophic situation.

This is why so many politicians are finally starting to speak out about the situation. AOC, Cruz, and so many others are coming forward to wag their finger, but they will not do anything meaningful. Even if they tried, it is way too late. We are headed towards disaster. They are trying to save face, but what will be seen is that polticians in general will use our money again to bail out hedge funds. This time they will blame it on us.

There are numerous layers to the story now. People are going to need to make sense of it all and will end up digging deeper to find the truth. They may find that Ben Bernanke is a Senior Advisor to Citadel which had a major role in blocking the Robinhood trades. They will get a sense of how the system is rigged against ordinary people who are not supposed to make money. Maybe they will go back and watch a Trump speech and hear it from a whole different perspective.

This will be the biggest red pill the world has ever seen.

Quick rundown of the situation first since some of you may not know:

There are a certain amount of stocks are available to be bought on the stock market at any time for a company. You may even own these stocks in your portfolio, but unless you tell your broker explicitly that you want to keep them they can be borrowed for short periods of time.

Short sales on a stock can be very profitable when the stock is going down, but they are infinitely risky depending on how far the stock goes up. You are borrowing money to short the stock which mean that you are also paying interest on this borrowed money. You can cover your position at any time by buying the stock at its current value if it does happen to go up and eat your losses.

So Game Stop was shorted all last year while these hedge funds were making a killing because the only way to go was down for a store like Game Stop in the middle of a pandemic. The problem was they overplayed their hand by short selling ~40% more stock than was available to buy on the stock market. What should have happened was a panic from existing investors trying to get whatever money they could out of the stock before they went bankrupt.

The problem is that some people looked at the risky bet, and then looked at the balance sheet of Game Stop. They realized that Game Stop was in bad shape, but not really at risk of going bankrupt. News of this spread and people started buying the stock and its options to make a quick buck. One of the big short groups went on Twitter to announce that it wasn't a problem because they understood the short market better than anyone else and the stock would go back down in no time. This is where the real war began.

People didn't just want to make a profit anymore, they also wanted to rub it in the faces of these smug assholes who were calling them stupid. It was about playing keep away on that extra 40% of stock that doesn't exist so that these guys feel the pain of the interest payments on their shorts. It was about publicly humiliating their expertise on the short market. Whenever anyone (retail investors, hedge funds, big investment banks) released stock on the market, the goal was simple: buy it and hold on to it in order to keep it off the market.

SO WHY DOES THIS MATTER TO OUR MOVEMENT?

This is one of the largest topics on leftist reddit right now. The WSB subreddit is getting about 10m unique hits per day. People all over Twitter are talking about it. It is a big conversation across all political spectrums. The math is pretty clear, and nobody feels sympathy for the big hedge fund managers who fucked our economy 12 years ago. It is the hottest topic and people are tuned in with their time and money to see how far everything will go.

So what do they do once they have this knowledge? They go over to CNBC and see a bunch of rich guys berating the retail investors without even telling their story. They go to CNN and see that these investments are the equivalent to the Bad Orange Man. They go to google news and read respected companies like MarketWatch quoting reddit users which puts them at the level of buzzfeed.

They see a bunch of rich liberal media personalities covering their asses praying that their rigged system can't be beaten even once. Not even when someone got way too greedy and got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. They are so insecure that they have to blame the redditor and bring in guest after guest claiming that all these retail investors are the one making the mistake.

There is a big possibility that this is only the beginning. This could heat up more and more in the next couple of weeks as the hedge funds get more desperate to stop bleeding on interest and start covering at a way higher price than they can afford. This would drive the stock even higher and, if the past indicates the future, would amp up the media outrage even more.

This has the potential to be a huge red pill on media corruption to a lot of people who still believe the MSM.

I've used ExpressVPN in the past but have been unhappy with their speeds. My yearly contract with them just ended and I'm looking to possibly change. NordVPN looks promising, but their website is plastered with good reviews from HuffPo, Wired, TEDx, and BuzzFeed which makes me suspicious.

From what I've seen in the movement - a majority of our people know the scriptures. We know that God comes through in the end and will redeem our descendants. It is easy to quote the fun scriptures that say everything will be alright. Those scriptures are the fun ones to hang in the hallways of our homes.

The stuff that you aren't quoting is the pain and subjection that was suffered through decades and sometimes centuries of God's chosen people. You can't have it both ways. I'm not dooming, but some of you guys are a little too chipper on what might be.

1. Scare the entire world (9/11 on a grand scale)

2. Kill off a large portion of elderly people (forcing sick people into nursing homes) in the freest nation in the world who would otherwise fight against the fascists policies

3. Send mixed messages about COVID from "trusted" scientists over time to divide the population beyond politics (you could literally kill my loved ones)

4. Force a leader who is uniting a large populace to navigate a greater perceived divide (doesn't matter if he lost support or not, it only matters that he could appear to lose support from his detractors)

5. Use the COVID threat to create a new system of voting (mail-in voting) that is able to push votes at the 11th hour towards the favored candidate

6. Use the COVID threat to explain why a complete lack of support in the inauguration exists

I'm more than sure they will use COVID for purposes in the coming months/years, but we should all recognize exactly how we were attacked by this virus. I believe this is why Trump stressed it was the China Virus. Trump was letting us know what this was a political virus.

Best course of action is to get people off social media IMO. The more people off, the less incentive for others to be on. I'm not sure how achievable this is, but if Facebook did not exist, then I'm not sure we would have mask mandates and mail-in voting in 2020.

That is my proposal. Like the title says, do you all have any other thoughts on how to fight this practically?

Grocery stores, hardware stores, craft stores (the staff there actually seemed to appreciate that I wasn't wearing it), restaurants, corner stores, and everywhere else.

I'm not a confrontational person. My rule was that if someone asked me to put on a mask I would just say that I forgot and put it on. Nobody has asked me to do it. If they won't ask one person to do it, how are they going to ask thousands? Stop wearing your mask!
