@itsgettingweird not sure, I haven't got a TV so don't watch Lorraine.

Wayfair was probably something about nothing but there were some very oddly priced cabinets on there.

I haven't watched the Tesla files on Prime - sounds intriguing.

The Wall Street/Robin Hood app/hedge fund situation is also interesting.

I'll quit posting so many links now but to keep you going, a Wikileaks link with the index to many further files: file.wikileaks.org/file/

@LetItGoGo

The German scientists were using Hitler's Hindu what for a what?.

That is a joke, right!?

As I recall, the Swastika motif was very much based on a Hindu religious symbol?

The Nazis were genuinely into their occult .... check out the Thule Society.

Now I love a bit of woo myself, but the thought that any government, especially one engaged in a world war is using magical thinking in any way is pretty terrifying.

@MistressoftheDarkSide

Ooh brilliant - thanks OP - had to go out for essential reasons and when I came back saw the other thread almost full..... so glad the discussion is still rolling Smile

Oddly enough a PP mentioned the lunacy of modern money "creation" and also financial illiteracy among those who dont have enough to play the markets etc, and now there is some broohaha going on around Gamestop shares ..... haven't quite got my head round it but on Reddit it's being called out as unfair because limits have been imposed, yet bankers and financiers get a free rein? It's all a bit Greek to me, so need to bring myself up to speed, but wondered if this could be some kind of conspiracy theory....

Was just about to mention this! I have been watching this excitedly for the last 48 hours. It really is a David vs Goliath story. The bankers "shorted" or bet against Gamestop at $20. If the share price fell they stood to make a lot of money. Conversely if the share price rises then they have to pay the difference. There was a reddit/discord group where everyone said to buy Gamestop shares pushing the price up to over $200 leaving the bankers on the hook for $77 billion. It trended and lots of ordinary people bought shares, the bankers complained and trading was suspended!

A conspiracy that is more fact than fiction. In our technological age maybe digital economic terrorism will become a thing, if it isn't already. Poor bankers have to be protected?

No problem at all! I'm loving all the people waking up and seeing the system is rigged

Frokni · 28/01/2021 21:34

Loved the first thread. I would like to add:

  • Tupac and BIG deaths were hits carried out to quell gand rivalry
  • Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain
  • Marilyn Monroe was murdered

For the GameStop thing - it isn’t unusual for regulators to step in and stop trading. A few years ago (I think 2016?) there was an algo trading platform that went haywire and they had to close down trading as the losses were so huge. If the price gets pushed up too much, it will come down at some point and there will be a lot of unsophisticated investors sitting on massive losses. Part of the role to regulators is to protect consumers. I’m not so aware with the us on this point, but there are lots of restrictions in the U.K. around what retail investors are allowed to access. It’s illegal to try and sell things like complex derivatives to a grandmas or local councils (something that did happen in the past).

Here are all the stocks that have been halted on Amex and Nasdaq for the last 24 hours. You’ll see it’s not limited to gamestock www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=TradeHalts

I think Paul Burrel had some pretty juicy details on the Royal Family and that’s why the Queen ‘remembered’ Diana had gifted him those items he pinched.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 28/01/2021 21:49

Interesting stuff..... thanks @Absy

Wagsandclaws · 28/01/2021 21:56

@Deedeedocket 🤣 I thought that myself!

Eyjafjallajokulldottir · 28/01/2021 21:57

Could I have a link to the previous thread please?

popgoestyeweasel · 28/01/2021 22:00

@TravellingTilbury the testimonies of satanic ritual abuse survivors has completely open my mind to the possibility that this happens. It is absolutely horrific.

I've also listened to Samantha Baldwins testimony. I can't quite bring myself to read her book. Poor woman and her poor children. An absolute failure of justice and safeguarding.

Watermama · 28/01/2021 22:02

Horrible thread.
As a RH- mother who has had miscarriages and a stillborn baby and used MN for support during those years of I had come across this thread claiming I was probably an alien, or another form of human species (with the implication inferior) or if I was an animal I would have been out to the slaughter I would probably have gone through with taking my own life.

THINK before you ducking post on future!

Surprisingly none of the posters spouting this utter bullshit have any form of medical training. Hmm

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 28/01/2021 22:04

I do wonder if this is a genuine question or just something slipped in by the Government in an effort to guage how effective their previous plots have been at duping the public... Hmm

queenofarles · 28/01/2021 22:10

Regarding JFK , I remember reading the scene in Oliver stone’s movie is based on fact. Pre assembled news about Oswald being the killer was circulating just before Dallas police arrested him.
Also here, a call was made to a local newspaper and someone informed a reporter that something big is about to happen in the US ,25 minutes before Kennedy was shot. I think the reporter informed the MI5 about it.

Another strange thing is the babushka lady filming at dealey plaza , she just seemed so calm and unfazed standing there while everyone was panicking and running. No trace of her or the photos she took though!

The people I follow on Twitter were recommending Nokia, Blackberry last week and I thought they had gone cuckoo. Next is apparently Silver which JPMORGAN is apparently overexposed to.

We have a new conspiracy theory!

MI6/MI5 posting on MN about conspiracy theories!

A nice recent one is around big finance and stock markets and media tie in

Look up the current issue with some reddit sub buying stock in GameStop to make the short sellers pay, then look at how the likes of CNN had to resort to calling them out as Trump/4chan despite it being obvious it is nothing but the opposite, then loko at when they have caused some big Wall street companies to lose up to a cuople of Billion others have stepped in and disabled the app for the averedge retail inestor.

I;ve made money as I was in it since november and sold last week as it hit the press, but this is the same people who escaped the 2008 financial crisis and dictate global markets being taught a lesson and the media.tech companies coming down on them

Justanotherlurker · 28/01/2021 22:16

appoligise for the multiple spelling mistakes, I am dyslexic and don't proof read a lot of the time

BelleHathor · 28/01/2021 22:24

Justanotherlurker Clever trick by the media labelling all the individuals as MAGA. Now low information people will have no sympathy. SEC just announced they are going after the reddit users for "suspicious activity".

Porphyria is in the Royal Family though. I can't remember which of the Queen's uncles/cousins had it according to an interview give by Princess Margaret.
