It was false. And he deleted it after being destroyed on twitter for pushing false information intentionally to scare people. He’s an asshat and a dishonest messenger. Always has been. Full stop.

I truly appreciate this sentiment, and operate the same way myself. This isn’t the thread for this, but when you’re up for it there are several other threads in which we can. In the course of a polite conversation, I can likely prove, with evidence to support it, that much of what you (seem) the believe on this topic is inaccurate and/or incomplete. Not because you aren’t smart or informed, but because the entire subject was intentionally distorted by the same media you’re noticing do the same distortion to 45 during our current crisis. In my opinion, understanding just how badly the Russia story was covered (intentionally so) is a paradigm shaker.

To your point: *******************

Issue resolved. They're back in the launch cycle. 4:00 and counting....

Yeah, they have a mechanical issue -- should be able to continue though. The window is open until 4pm.

Launch is about to start -- for those who are space nerds:

Fusion/CIA Ken gets his talking points jumbled again.

Reading comprehension is difficult when you lack a fully functioning frontal lobe, I know. I pray you get the neurological assistance you clearly need.

You miss the point. The media ran with his initial predictions. They're not running with his retraction. An honest person (which you've proven you're not) would ask why.

3 central hubs for the cult: London: financial hub Washington: military hub Rome: spiritual hub/home ... But I'm guessing she just misspoke.

Get ready for the left to start LOVING Big Pharma.

I'm not certain it's as much a conspiracy theory at this point as it is the way the sausage gets made in times of national crisis (at least with regards to my last comment). Perhaps the internal numbers are trending better than the doomsayers prognosticated (there's evidence of this), perhaps the treatments are working better than expected (there's evidence of this) -- both of which could spark more internal optimism which bleeds through to the market. I wouldn't consider that a conspiracy theory as much as a failure of the media to cover this event honestly and the administrations reluctance to spread "false hope" after two weeks of getting pummeled with that line. Then there's every chance that what Rob said is accurate too -- that the market is responding to something, but it's not that we're out of the woods. There ARE plenty of conspiracy theories out there right now, however. Despite what most probably think of my own style and analytical methods, I like to operate from a position of fact first before extrapolating out and trying to fill in the blanks -- and right now most of those conspiracy theories out there lack a solid enough foundation for me to take a true run at. My position, as always, changes with new information but (for fun and since you asked) here are the "conspiracy" theories that I'm aware of and my own personal odds of their accuracy: 1. The virus is actually a bio-weapon released intentionally by China to fight back against their economic slide brought on by the administration. If true, this would be nothing less than an act of war. Without solid evidence to back up the charge, the government likely would NEVER disclose this to the public unless they were planning on a military style response. (I put the odds of this scenario as low but not impossibly so, call it 20%). 2. The virus is actually a bio-weapon released accidentally by China (either through negligence or incompetence). In an effort to hide their blunder, they delayed telling the world and made a bad situation exponentially worse through simple human error and hubris. If true, then there would be plenty of efforts to cover this up by the global community as well as China to prevent the public from overreacting and demanding a pound of flesh in return. (I put the odds of this scenario at 50/50) 3. The virus was released by a non-nation state actor and is a further escalation of the silent war ongoing between the powers that were and the new powers that be. There is a lot of data points to make this case stronger than it first appears, starting with https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/harvard-university-professor-and-two-chinese-nationals-charged-three-separate-china-related and then Bill Gates' sudden departure from both Microsoft and Berkshire Hathoway on the 13th. The immediate reaction of the "fact checkers" to try to downplay the relation of this arrest and the virus was immediate and loud -- and, immediately suspect because of this. We know he was working for China in an off the books research lab (which is how this shadow group operates within nation states without being a nation state itself, co-opting shadowy contractors and their infrastructure), we know the 21 vials were going to Wuhan where China's only top level bio-weapons lab is located -- but we don't know what was really in the vials. They claim it was "cancer research" materials which may well be true... but the data points are interesting to consider. (I put the odds of this scenario as low, call it 10%). 4. The virus is actually a bio-weapon released by "white hats" within the supposed "alliance" of nations/military intelligence fighting back against the cult. The virus is designed to target those who have ingested a spiked stock of adrenocrome (google image search it if you're unfamiliar), marking everyone who's partaken in these occult rituals for easy identification and disposal/cleanup/adjudication. The panic over the virus, and subsequent lock downs, are designed to keep these criminals isolated while they're swept up in a series of off the books arrests while also keeping innocents out of public spaces where they'd be in danger of blow back/collateral damage from the usual cult tactics of causing carnage to change the world's focus/keep themselves out of danger. This is clearly the most "out there" theory. (I put the odds of this scenario as almost impossible, say <1%) There probably are plenty of other theories out there, but these are the ones I encounter the most.

Yup. So much of the past several weeks don't really add up. There's a lot we're not being told is my bet.

Same guy, btw
