I see they finally arrested Sam Bankman-Fried today, still not sure why it took so long, he should have been in handcuffs the day after it all unraveled. Not sure how they will spin this, they were still portraying him as a god until a week ago. I guess this gave them enough time to cover up some of the paper trails?

I had not heard that, I wonder if that delay was so that they ( those that constructed the whole scheme and gained from it ) could delete sensitive trails that lead to the slime ball politicians etc, then make the arrest. I really wonder what will happen to him as I could be way off base but somehow he gets off easy or they bury him and with it the real picture behind the whole mess. I know for now they will claim they were building a case and why the delay in the arrest, I have a hard time buying that one for some reason. Of course there was the matter of his extradition from the Bahamas but again if they want to make the ball roll fast, they can I am sure.

My thinking is they delayed arresting him so people would actually discuss why he hasn't been arrested yet. If he was arrested before the FTX fraud became an actual event then no one would know and all these crypto exchanges would go on with people thinking its legitimate. If he was arrested the day it blew up then again, it would soon be forgotten news and no one would be talking about those political contributions or digging into some history of FTX.
Basically it stays in the public view longer this way.
And, coincidentally, the SEC just came under fire yesterday. Something that should have happened, oh, 30 years ago. The FTX fraud allowed to exist also connects to the SEC, and of course any kind of legal entity for not taking action. Not just in regards to FTX but all the other fraudulent things taking place over decades. Unless of course someone thinks the big 3 car companies can ru themselves into the ground with debt then get bailed out by the taxpayer and this is all normal business and there is nothing to see. It has been happening for a very long time. And no entity has stepped in to enforce free markets like the peasants operate under.
And SBF didn't kill himself.
That one is funny.
5 years ago people would say WTF does that mean. Now people are starting to think this is actually how things are done. Because often that is the case.
So it is more about showing people how things actually work. It is not what they used to beleive.

I think George has a hard time wrapping his head around this one. Not so much the $100T, but the fact that it is off balance sheets. His last line of the video is mention of out of control central banks. Remember he is getting his info from the BIS who is the supervisor of all the central banks and ultimately in charge of making sure all things are proper. Of course, in our financialized everything world, the very existence of derivatives is a key element. In the real world of sound money a derivative would not exist. But derivatives are good for manipulating everything and especially for kicking the can down the road and keeping black swans tucked in the pocket till they are released on purpose.
Simply put, $100T of derivatives should have been a massive black swan event when at $Billions. But these people who run the world just keep making crap up. If it is $100T now, they will make it become $500T if they see fit. Or they could have pulled the plug at $1T and said "no one could have seen this coming".
It's quite the farce. Though I note George didn't use SDT at all (stiff drink time), probably moved on to cocaine try to get his head around this news.
As I said a few weeks ago, a bank run on Credit Suisse of $80B? Big deal. It means nothing. The Fed will throw in a few $B and some other entity will put in $100B and Cesdit Suisse will be fine. It's not like there is any accountability. The BIS is the ultimate overseer of all this. No one holds them to account. That's not how the system works.

Another one from George from last week.
There is one single fundamental question to all the things I post on these subjects - is there someone doing oversight?
Obviously no one has been, that is exactly how the system is built. It is why the central banking cartel exists as it does and our world is what it is. The system operates in secrecy and controls all the wealth while coordinating around the world. The governments don't tun the central banks, rather the CBs run the government and therefore the CBs are in charge of their own oversight. This should be all perfectly clear by now.
All the massive welfare programs, unbridled spending, all the businesses and government programs that are there ultimately working against you are also able to keep getting more and more funding from the same place that is accountable to no one. This is by design, not by coincidence.
Now this is where one may have to take on a different view. Suppose there is now someone doing oversight and holding people accountable. Suppose the system is still to operate as it always did, with the same rules and laws, but for once there is an enforcement body to actually say "no, you made your rules now you follow them". Sure, it may not be this way and in which case the Fed can definitely keep going bankrupt indefinitely. $100B or $3T means nothing when they can say there redline is $100T to the negative. But suppose someone has inserted themselves as overseer of all this crap. How do you change as system that would totally implode if you shut it down. Maybe you don't shut it down, maybe you just level the playing field by using enforcement for the interim till a few years down the road you can start implementing various components that give the peasants a system that works for them.
In George's video he is saying the Fed is on path to bankruptcy. If there is no oversight then it will never happen. Because the owners of the Fed make the rules. But George is no doubt correct in saying the Fed is on its way to bankruptcy. Much like his video I out up yesterday with the BIS saying $100T of "off the books" debt. How is that even possible? Because of no oversight, thats how. What is notable is the BIS even publishing this stuff - for a entity that operates in secrecy with no oversight it is interesting they say that there is $100T of hidden debt because of no oversight. The BIS is basically telling the world they don't do what they are supposed to do.
We will see. The Fed raised interest rates yesterday and is doing more QT. The ECB is raising interest rates into a recession. These things are not supposed to happen. Everyone said it will never happen. Yet it is. So we wait and see how many people know exactly how this plays out. Negative interest rates is part of a corrupt system, raising interest rates actually is correct if one had a system to follow rules and proper policy. If you can't operate under these conditions then time to close up shop. Even if it is a central bank.

I admire your optimism Ken, but it would shock me if there was some secret entity about to hold everyone(or anyone) accountable for the high crimes in the banking system and other sectors. The much more plausible scenario is that they are doing as they say as far as a globalist agenda, and we are on a path towards owning nothing. Over the last couple of years there has been unimaginable wealth transfer to the elites and an accumulation of debt in the private sector that is perilous. They also have watched a very compliant populace that has done little to resist these measures, and when needed they have used a heavy hand to bully the dissenters. So while it can be entertaining to watch George(and I sometimes do), it is basically impossible to make any sort of a read on things when he is going off balance sheets that the Fed and other banks provide which all of a sudden change and money parachutes out of nowhere. Also they change policy whenever they want with no oversight. The fact that there is some disclosure now probably just means that they are close enough to the end goal that nothing is gonna stand in their way. Honestly there has been enough hints given for a long time, nothing new really.

Goldman Sachs to lay off 4000 employees in January. All these big companies see what’s coming, yet our mindless leaders say everything is peachy. I remember many of us here were predicting all this to happen at the early stages of covid, right down to a war, which we have. I wish I could predict lottery numbers as accurate as I did this 🤷♂️

Yes, still looking for the bright side to things. It's getting pretty obscene as to how in your face this stuff is these days. Or as the lazy people who can't bother to think beyond their next recreational shopping spree would say "all this conspiracy talk". So either the system is so far gone that it can't be stopped or it is purposely being waved in our face to make people understand how things stand now. These two possibilities I think sum up our current state of affairs. And so it is a guess as to where things go. And of course we all assess which possibility is in play based on the info we are fed. Found the attachment interesting, now of course I need to read up and see if such a vote is even real but to do that I have to also know the info saying the vote is real is actually factual info and not just made up and thus creating a reality that doesn't exist. But once again, suppose such info is legitimate and the $us dominance is being brought to an end. What would our world look like. Would the people ending it also reveal how things presently work or just keep treating people like mushrooms as always. Don't really know. It all comes down to our information. As I said a long time ago, I don't think we could possibly grasp the implications of a controlled media a number of years ago. But I think we are starting to do that now. It really is hard to wrap your head around how much the media controls your life and actions. Because it is about shaping your reality. Either we are getting more truth in the last few years or we aren't.

Don't know if that's real or not Ken, but pretty easy to observe a systematic destruction of Western nations/cultures/values. The USA has been grenaded from within and it's days as a global power are numbered, clearly the rats are jumping off the sinking ship and aligning with the BRICS nations. Where does this lead? It would appear that it has already and will further escalate to war. When the US is blowing up pipelines and constantly pushing some pretty sophisticated weapons onto Russia's doorstep it is bound to escalate. The media is 100% controlled yes, knowing that can actually help you determine what is right and wrong if applied properly. So when they say something is fine it probably isn't, etc. There have been numerous info sources in the alternative media to watch as well and the benefit we have now is that these sources have a track record. There have been a lot of predictions made in the last couple of years and most haven't happened. Take special note of those who have been calling it right thus far, although they are getting censored away at an alarming rate. So yeah there is lots of stuff leaking out, probably lots of it is true. Question is, what is the source???

Canada would have voted against a new system because we are aligned with the present $us debt slave control.
Things are changing and this can also be called a reset. If there is an new world order coming that is rejecting the $us dominance then there is a reset in the works.
I suspect that is the salient point of our world. We live under a corrupt system where all the information is controlled and fed to us. If we accept this point then we also could be in a world that is being changed by entities outside our prison (for lack of better word). And if such a thing was happening, then us inside the prison are still being fed the usual fake infor information or telling us the changes outside are very, very bad for us and we must resist. The control system within the walls would always work that way.
The thing we have always asked is why isn't the corrupt media taken out. Given the influence it has. That is likely the key point where we say nothing is changing if this still exists.
I do wonder about that. Perhaps it is for the better. Perhaps we will always be given free will and choice. Perhaps that is a very important point of our existence. We will always be presented the red pill or the blue one. Keep in mind this would still be very different than say 6 years ago when we were presented the blue pill and the blue pill but were told one is red. We were never really given choice. As SWMan posted - if you control both sides and they are controlled to give the illusion of competing views and free to choose the correct path - then it really isn't so.
How do we undo generations of programming and thought control. Do we do re-education camps where people are forced to sit and listen to what is true. Do we do daily broadcasts. Do we do public town halls for those to attend if they so choose. It is an interesting question. If we accept that our world is far different than what we were told, how do we re-educate people. People who have been fully invested in beleif what is presently true.
Maybe we get presented our fake world and the new reality (true world) and you choose how you live your life. Maybe the covid vax will keep being peddled but not forced on you. Maybe you can keep buying and selling grain through elevators or have the opportunity to sell via digital contracts direct to a end user. Maybe central bank digital currency is rolled out but you also have the choice to use other currency or metals instead.
I wonder about these things. We don't understand our present world and anything we believe is true or false is just a guess. There could be fundamental things that are to be promoted above all else. Perhaps taking down the media does not take higher position than having people decide for themselves what is right and wrong. If someone can not decide for themselves the difference between right and wrong then another entity forcing it on them is not necessarily the way forward. Give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish.
Sure, just hypothetical rambling. But I do beleive our world is not what we think it is. And we likely can never imagine the reality. What we think is the correct way of doing things to make change may not even register on the radar scope of what is correct for how our world really works.
And of course it is possible the people in control are simply playing with us so all my above speculating is meaningless. Could be that too. I like freedom of choice and being a free entity and so look for the possibility of freedom being given back. Because we certainly have not been free for my entire lifetime.

Another thing rattling around is my thinking the internet and digital age was not something started as a free entity and given to us to connect people and allow exchange of ideas and move life forward. It is what we were told, but what if it was from the very start, pushed into our lives to further control us. That is just didn't "happen" to get taken over - but it was always to do what it is doing.
Pushing a fake reality, censorship of thought, digital tracking, tracking of spending and habits, move into digital currency, crypto currencies, etc. We think of things in terms of a few years, the people in control make changes over generations. As individuals our lives are too short so we don't think that way so can't comprehend something else that does.
Listening to Dire Straits song Telegraph Road the other night again because the message of the song I had noted before. Much like the internet does now, the telegraph wires could be thought of doing in past generations. Grain futures trading and market control always relied heavily on information flow. Not just tracking what was occurring but perhaps delivering information to influence what should happen or control the views of what did occur. Suppose control of information was always in place. When the railroad tracks went in, so did the telegraph wires. Perhaps not just because of a opportunity but by design and expansion of control. I read a quote from a journalist back in the 1890s who said all major journalists/news was controlled at that time. Fringe/independent news still existed but there was MSM already then. And so a means of extending the MSM reach has been needed since the age of steam.

Was wondering about the canola price slide? I suspect the commodity charts will look different than the S&P which is what that chart is. The stock market is overdue to tank IMO but it could be argued that commodities should go higher yet. It is literally impossible to predict any of this anymore, just focus on managing your risk is probably the best way to approach things. Much like you don't want to be exposed to a inflated stock market or Bitcoin, you may not want to be exposed to unpriced inputs for 2023. Having grain in the bin is hopefully a buffer to protect against whatever weirdness is coming, hopefully the grain price tracks with input prices and such...
