3/ what’s different about this rally as compared to previous bear market rallies is that price moves right now are being driven *entirely* based on the moment to moment proclamations of a mad orange king drunk with power.

trump can easily (and IMHO just did) use this power to xfer massive amounts of retail suckers' money into the hands of Trump donors/friends/insiders etc. w/just a few steps.

[11am] privately inform donors you'll be announcing the cancellation of tariffs at 3pm

[11:01am] donors buy stonks

[2pm] tweet "GREAT TIME TO BUY", transforming donor trades from "insider trading crimes" to "trades based on public information"

[2:01pm] retail MAGA apes & other trump team members (republican congress, officials, etc) "buy the dip"

[3pm] suspend tariffs

[3:01pm] whole world apes in, mkt goes 🚀🌖, insiders' profit massively from their trades.

♟️The Cooler (1974) was a spy novel written by George Markstein, co-creator of 1960s surreal espionage series The Prisoner. It’s based on the real-life Inverlair Lodge, a ‘retirement home for spies’, which also inspired The Prisoner. It was long out of print but is now available again, with a striking cover - plumeriapics.co.uk/shop/ols/pr

The movie Black Bag is a very interesting spy story about a small cast of MI5 workers. Interesting characters. And all the actors are at top game.

It is a bit of opulence porn. And spoilers, every char is kinda horrible. Almost to spite the idea of innocence. Honestly, I thought it was a Fincher movie. But it is still a competent movie, very well shot. If you want to watch spies screw eachother over, this is a good one.

Spycop HN85 Roger Pearce 'Roger Thorley' infiltrated anarchist groups 1979-84. He gave evidence to the spycops public inquiry in July 2024. The Inquiry hasn't posted video of him being questioned on its YouTube channel, so we've posted it on ours.

Thorley wrote anti-police articles while undercover. Afterwards he became a Special Branch manager before retiring in 2003 to write awful novels.
