MARCH OPINIONS : TUCKER CARLSON and Silicon Valley Bank collapse.

1. Tucker Carlson and the Jan 6th "tapes".
The current uproar by some member of Congress and MSM about Tucker Carlson's revelations about the Jan 6th Committee is easy to understand if you accept that the only reason for the Committee was to prevent Trump of running in any future elections.Well WE can say this ... with the 'hind sight ", there is a LOT MORE to the what happened on January 6th. Besides what the farcical Jan 6th Committee has been presenting to the public.  (1)>>Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently  released security video from the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, using footage provided exclusively to him by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to portray the riot as a peaceful gathering. Carlson, the popular but controversial figure on Fox, made the comments to his millions of viewers  as he aired selected clips of never-before-seen video of the Capitol on Jan. 6 and downplayed the hours long insurrection, in which 140 police officers were injured.Trump contended that Carlson’s presentation was “irrefutable” evidence that rioters have been wrongly accused of crimes and he thanked the host and the speaker for their work.  (2)>>Carlson praised McCarthy as having “rectified” the official record.The footage he aired focused on one of the highest-profile rioters,  (2.1)>>Jacob Chansley, the “QAnon Shaman,” garbed in his horned hat and bare-chested, as he poked around the building, officers standing by or opening doors. Chansley pleaded guilty to a felony charge of obstructing an official proceeding and was sentenced to 41 months in prison.“The footage does not show an insurrection or a riot in progress,” Carlson told his audience . “Instead it shows police escorting people through the building, including the now-infamous ‘QAnon Shaman.’”He continued: "More than 44,000 hours of surveillance footage from in and around the Capitol have been withheld from the public, and once you see the video, you’ll understand why. Taken as a whole, the video  (3)>>does not support the claim that Jan. 6 was an insurrection. In fact, it demolishes that claim."Tucker got the segment vetted by capitol law enforcement before publishing this story, and the officers found a minor piece of the footage to blur out.If released to the public, the officers claim it's a security threat. I agree it seems odd, but it's also odd how much Democrats doctored the narrative for years. There's a lot of oddity surrounding this. I wish the public had access to it all.Let's play out a scenario and you tell us what you would do.You are a police officer in the Capital, severely outnumbered and you know there is zero reinforcements coming because 90% of your cops are on the other side of the building fighting for their lives against crazed, frenzied rioters. You see hundreds of people outside and you are surrounded. They start banging on the doors and windows to come inside.Do you open the door and open things are peaceful, or do you let them smash the doors and windows?And yes, from what I saw on the videos, there were at least some cops who were complicit in letting people past barricades and inside the building. The vast majority of police officers are Trump supporters anyway .Do you open the door and open things are peaceful or do you let them smash the doors and windows? Lol it was a cartoon. I watched the whole thing unfold live and was laughing. Shit was goofy as hell. It’s so crazy to me hearing people use words like “traumatic” and “insurrection” to describe it. I’ve even been told it was worse than 9/11.  (3.1)>>The combo of politics and media conditioning is really a hell of a drug.  Jan 6th was a protest that turned into a riot, just like the hundreds that happened throughout 2020. They are treating this one differently for political theatre and the most gullible are eating it up. Now they set a precedent that rioting after a protest is domestic terrorism and we will all be worse off for it. The parties have flipped.

2. Silicon Valley Bank collapse.

Here it comes  (4)>>THE BIG MARKET CRASH. 
Valley Bank what caused the collapse of this bank because that's important right it says svb didn't have enough cash on hand and so it started selling some of its bonds at steep losses spooking people , possible hurting the market . investors and customers it took just  (4.1)>>48 Hours y'all between the time it disclosed it had sold the assets and its collapse 48 hours for an entire Bank to just go friggin belly up that's slightly terrifying for those of us who use banks for any of our financial needs whether it's to hold our money or to run our our mortgage through or our car loans through or anything like that so then you say okay well what is silvergate what happened at silvergate well the end of silvergate Bank came ultimately as a result of huge losses on asset sales at the end of last year as the bank ditched Securities at fire sale prices in a bid to remain liquid emitted Bank Run that run on the bank was accelerated by short sellers according to analysts at JP Morgan now keep in mind JP Morgan and BlackRock okay now New York State Signature Bank a New York state based financial institution with a big real estate lending business that  (5)>>recently also began serving the cryptocurrency industry was closed by state authorities on Sunday in the wake of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse so what I heard here was that one Bank collapsed and because this one collapsed the authorities decided to take over this bank over here before it could happen so Silicon Valley Bank or svb collapsed and Signature Bank was maybe sort of on the brink behind it but the the authorities stepped in and said Hey listen we're just going to take this over and and not have to worry about it which to me is a weird thing that the the um uh what is it State authorities stepped in and and closed the bank that's just so weird so let me give you.
PREPLAND COLLAPSE OF BANKS .
 The collapse of  (6)>>Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) is part of a pre-planned controlled demolition of the banking industry in order to implement Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). CBDCs will be presented as the solution to the coming banking crises.SVB’s failure will also have longer-term impacts beyond the next few weeks and months. The collapse of the leading specialist in providing financial services to tech companies could make it harder for the next generation of startups to find what they need to build their business. And after witnessing the herd-like, (7)>>Twitter-fueled rush to pull money out of SVB, other banks may be cautious toward tech out of fear of experiencing the same problems SVB faced.Silicon Valley Bank had NO head of 'risk assessment' for nine months before it collapsed. Clown World takes "Go Woke, Go Broke" to the next level. SVB's collapse is starting to look intentional.This revelation comes after the firm became the largest bank to collapse since the 2008 financial crisis - disclosing a $1.8 billion loss in its finances. A medium-sized bank called Silicon Valley Bank which is very popular with tech startups had a classic 1920s style bank run, where they put too much of their deposits into investments which could not be quickly turned into cash, so when a bunch of customers got nervous and took their money out they were no longer able to pay their customers in cash. However, since the 1920s, we now have the FDIC government agency to deal with this situation, so the FDIC took over the bank on Friday afternoon and will be running it from here on out. First reaction is that this bank had tech startups as their main client base, so of fucking course they’d be taken down by tptb to protect interests and influence in the established players.My premise: Major mainstream power in today’s world never innovates, never decentralises.I just wonder who/what industry flew closest the sun. Maybe something that rhymes with artificial intelligence.  WITH a little back information on that now for those of you who did not see it  (8)>>President Biden had a little address this before heading out to California and these are some of the key takeaways from what he had to say this morning in regards to the SBV  collapse.So the theory presented is that a bunch of people with money who want the Fed to stop raising rates are teaming together to blow up banks by forcing bank runs. Banks normally only have a fraction of the cash deposited on hand to handle withdraws. If more cash is withdrawn than they have on hand, they have to start selling assets (these low interest bonds that don't mature for several years) in order to meet withdraw demands. If they're forced to sell enough of these at a loss, the bank goes under. Enough banks go under, or the stability of the system is threatened then the Fed will have to backtrack on raising rates.



NOTES AND COMMENTS: 

(1)>>Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently  released . I agree they should release them all, but there is footage showing antifa dressed as Trump supporters, we all know they work for soros and politicians, and the footage he selected was proof they planned the whole dam thing. Tucker just started dropping Jan 6 footage… It shows Capitol Police escorting the Shaman through the Capitol on Jan 6 .Our corrupt DOJ threw him in prison for 5 YEARS over this,He should be immediately released.Remember how the media, Democrats, and the Jan 6 committee said cops were killed on Jan 6? Well that was a lie. Tuckers J6 footage shows Officer Brian Sicknick walking around the Capitol after they told us he was killed by protesters .More lies exposed…Brian Sicknick died of natural causes, the day after the Jan 6th Fedsurrection, He suffered two strokes at the base of the brain stem caused by a blood clot. No evidence of external or internal injuries. No evidence or allergic reaction to chemical irritants (bear spray). He was a Trump voter. May GOD rest his soul.Not one cop died on J6th not one, the democrats thought they could hide the truth from the American people. Every J6 committee member needs to be held accountable for there propaganda.nbcnews.com/politics/polit (2)>>Carlson praised McCarthy as having “rectified” the official record. The Republican speaker of the US House, Kevin McCarthy, said on Sunday he would “slowly roll out” to networks other than Fox News more than 40,000 hours of security footage from the January 6 attack on Congress.“We will slowly roll out to every individual news agency,” McCarthy told Sunday Morning Futures, a show broadcast by Fox News. “They can come see the tapes as well. Let everyone see them to bring their own judgment.”McCarthy has only let Fox News see the tapes so far, giving access to the primetime host Tucker Carlson. SEVERAL GOP lawmakers have spoken out against Tucker Carlson for how he used footage from the January 6 U.S. Capitol riot that was given to him by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy . (2.1)>>Jacob Chansley, the “QAnon Shaman,” .Newly released surveillance video proves that unarmed "QAnon Shaman" Jacob Chansley peacefully marched through US Senate with Capitol Police escort. This material, exonerating evidence was knowingly withheld by the US government before, during & after the government's prosecution of Chansley. Based on Tucker’s newly released J6 videos, the “Qanon Shaman” should be released from jail and compensated for his suffering. This is not our America. We do not persecute innocent people. This is FJB’s America. If we don’t take this country back soon, we will all be screwed! God help us. In this case, no officer told him it was ok to go into the building, nor helped him inside. He was part of a large group which broke windows to get inside.Any reasonable person would know that if they had to smash a window to enter a building, they probably shouldn't be there. (3)>>does not support the claim that Jan. 6 was an insurrection.  Was Jan 6th a real attempt to overthrow the American government ???? Some historians declared it to be the worst act of rebellion since the nation’s founding, while others believe there’s been nothing like it since the Civil War. The news media and the Left use “insurrection” to describe Jan. 6. BUT wait ....And the BLM riots during the summer of 2020 caused 18 deaths, over $1 billion dollars in damage, including federal and state buildings, and in some cities sovereign nations were declared. Was that a nation wide rebellion ?The word insurrection is a legal term. Under federal law it’s a crime to incite or engage in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the U.S. or its laws. Black’s Law Dictionary defines insurrection as “a violent revolt against oppressive authority.” Because words have meaning, Jan. 6 can’t be called an “insurrection” just to satisfy the urge to convey a particular seriousness of the event or to propagate a political narrative.The events of Jan. 6, 2021, are misunderstood, and the failure to correct the record could be damaging to both America’s future and its justice system. Words have to have meaning, and the continuous mislabeling of the U.S. Capitol breach as an “insurrection” is an example of how a false narrative can gain currency and cause dangerous injustice.What happened at the capital was a slightly more overzealous version of the riots at Trump's inauguration. 217 people arrested, numerous cop cars in the capital burned to the ground, etc in 2017. Far less media fan fare.The really bad actors were limited in number. The popular narrative of a large scale insurrection needs to focus on the bigger picture rather than looking at the few people who truly intended harm.(3.1)>>The combo of politics and media conditioning is really a hell of a drug. I agree with your expert it was a sham committee, staffed with the speaker's own preferred partisan and personally selected members and constituted with unconstitutional number of members. 👍  Yes, finally someone standing up for Tucker and not Chuck's lies, but what's up with Newsmax? They know he only needs to show video of all the people 1/6 committee said were terrorist who they had locked up for just being in the building. This is showing 1/6 committee lied about what happened and put innocent people in jail for the last 2 years and mistreating them..Remember Nancy daughter was filming as well? (4)>>THE BIG MARKET CRASH. As many Financial experts and degenerates (like me) have observed there are three major issues going on in the financial world. The first main issue is that the interest rates are being out paced by the inflation rates. This means that those who are loaning out money as losing buying power. The second issue is that the price of houses has been rocketing upward. This is an issue because the majority of the interest rates are so low causing people to be willing to take a larger loan for a house that isn’t quite worth as much as the face value of the loan. This over pricing of the housing market must be correct, meaning a drop in the value of houses.This will be cause by a correction to problem one. This will cause the value of many houses to plummet and many the value of the house to not be enough to back the mortgages. This may lead to a housing market crash.The third issue is partially correlated to issues one and two. This issue is the majority of stocks are currently priced massively over their intrinsic value. This can be in part to an over optimistic view being held by investors that these businesses will do very well within the next year. This will in time correct its self. This correction will likely be caused by an end to the injection of additional government funds into private businesses. When the market begins to dip the new phenomenon of the quick access to the stock market by retail investors via investment apps. My hypothesis is that these investors will see a major dip in the market and will attempt to sell all of their stocks, causing the dip in the stock market to compound and begin to go into a crash.I believe all of this issues will take place in March 2023  as the fed will raise interest rates and the government will stop injecting additional funds into private business.(4.1)>>48 Hours y'all between the time it disclosed it had sold the assets . The speed at which market jitters have spread across the world have forced bank executives and regulators to move with unprecedented swiftness: US authorities guaranteed all deposits in SVB – and smaller bank Signature – 48 hours after it collapsed. Just hours after Credit Suisse’s share price plunged on Wednesday, the Swiss central bank stepped in with a $54bn loan.While there’s nothing new about a financial emergency, these crises – and their resulting responses – are unique in having been accelerated by a frenzy of social media chatter that has fuelled the panic.  The bank bought up a ton of long-term Treasury bonds and mortgage securities when interest rates were low over the past few years. When the Fed raised interest rates, those bonds became less attractive on the open market—newer bonds came with higher payouts, making SVB’s older bonds harder to sell off in a pinch. So when SVB’s depositors began drawing down their balances this year to meet business expenses, the bank was forced to dump its bonds at fire-sale prices to obtain the cash it needed to meet customer withdrawals. As the bank ran low on cash, it announced plans to raise more, and a bunch of influential people in Silicon Valley panicked, withdrawing their money en masse in a classic bank run. Fail fast, indeed. A lot of these customers are rich people who were too lazy to manage their money more carefully, but a lot of them are also actual businesses that used those accounts to meet payroll and other basic expenses. Roku, which sells consumer hardware for digital streaming services, had nearly half a billion dollars stashed at SVB.Some people and institutions, however, made money amid the turmoil.Silicon Valley Bank CEO Greg Becker sold $3.6 million worth of the company's shares less than two weeks before the bank's collapse, drawing scrutiny from lawmakers like Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who called on the bank to claw back the compensation. Meanwhile, as panic mounted and bank stocks plummeted over a three-day period before the Silicon Valley Bank failure, $2.3 billion in profit flowed to short sellers, traders who bet that the shares would fall, data firm S3 partners said.(5)>>recently also began serving the cryptocurrency industry was closed by state authorities.  Were these banks important for getting money into crypto, specifically BTC, or just for the newer crypto companies banking there? Let's use this as bb material .They are trying to take us down, let's take them down instead. SVB, Signature Bank and Silvergate Were PURPOSEFULLY Collapsed In Order To CRUSH Crypto ? The fact that these banks did not mitigate their own risk. The fact that depositors did not mitigate their own risks above $250k FDIC .The fact that few take personal responsibility and looks to the government to save the day at the tax payers expense .The fact that those closer to the money printer use it to benefit themselves.Silicon Valley Bank cryptocurrencies were rallying and the stable coins had regained their pegs yeah I'm gonna lie I don't know what game their pegs means but this is what we need to know two of the banks that were the friendliest of the crypto sector and the biggest bank for Tech startups all failed in less than a week let me go ahead and jump in here really really quick just as a thought because while I'm while I'm sitting here thinking about it we know that cbdc is a huge push Central Bank digital currency that's going to be a huge push and I have said from the beginning of hearing about it that the only way that that's going to work is that there are no other unauthorized um monies available whether that is cryptocurrency you've got Bitcoin Doge ether and all these other things that I don't fully understand I'm not going to lie and then the actual paper money itself also all of those things kind of need to go away all these little smaller banks are going to need to go away so the government can really run every single little thing and so when I heard about these uh collapses over the weekend I was like and here we go first step towards cbdc in my opinion is the slow or fast uh systematic collapse or um removal of other banking institutes that carry cryptocurrency or other monies so here it says that silvergate capital a central lender to the crypto.(6)>>Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) is part of a pre-planned controlled demolition of the banking industry .  Many argue that Fed policy is the main reason financial assets rose to record highs over the past decade.Many also argue that the horrible performance of both stocks AND bonds this year are due to a switch in Fed policy. Which, mind you, was made to combat raging inflation, which can also be argued the Fed is responsible for creating.   If a bank is publicly listed, once public investors understand the predicament, the results are catastrophic. SVB tried to raise additional capital via public markets to bail themselves out, but markets caught wind and went short. Depositors fled to “safer” banks. A classic bank run ensued. The market, in effect, prepped the bank for regulatory intervention.The failure of Silvergate and SVB and the takeover of Signature have arguably signaled the start of a regulatory effort to actively cull crypto banks. If crypto can be surgically separated from traditional banking, this solves many perceived problems for regulators. Once crypto on-ramps are eliminated, the category can be aggressively regulated without the perception from the public that an investment opportunity is being taken away. And so, just like the Lehman collapse made the remaining bailed out banks stronger, so the failure of a handful of regional banks not only allowed mega banks such as JPM and BofA - which have tens of billions in net unrealized losses on their HTM books to take advantage of the Fed's new bailout facility, the BTFP, but to also beef up their depositor bases while assuring that their profits rise too . Almost as if it was all planned from the start...(7)>>Twitter-fueled rush to pull money out . In the day leading up to the bank’s collapse, multiple prominent venture capitalists took to Twitter in particular, and used their large platforms to raise alarms about the situation, sometimes typing in all caps. Some investors urged startups to rethink where they kept their cash. Founders and CEOs then shared tweets about the concerning situation at the bank in private Slack channels, according to The Wall Street Journal.  A lot of VC companies were doing the same thing. SVB was an incredibly shitty run bank and had way too much risk on their books by holding those low interest 10 year bonds.Look at signature bank. Barney fucking frank was on the board of directors. Yes..the same Barney Frank who wrote the Dodd-Frank legislation. The VC and Wall Street want the fed to stop raising rates so they can get low interest easy money again. How do you do that? Crush some irrelevant shitty regional banks and cause some fear. (8)>>President Biden had a little address this before heading out to California .  It's REALLY STRANGE that the the Bank Crash started in California , all of it has some links or to it's  GOV . NEWSOM. What Newsom failed to disclose in his statement, or elsewhere, was that he had a considerable personal stake in the bank; three of his wineries, CADE, Odette, and PlumpJack, were listed as clients on the bank's website. Insiders are also alleging that Newsom held personal accounts at the bank, according to a report from the Intercept.Additionally, at the request of Newsom, the bank donated $100,000 to his wife's charity, the California Partners Project, in 2021. A member of the charity's board of directors, John China, was responsible for the bank's fund management. In science, you're expected to disclose any potential or actual financial conflicts of interest in publications or when giving presentations (for example, if you work for, consult for, serve on board for a company). Politicians should be held to an even much higher standard so that they can be accountable to the electorate. California Gov. Gavin Newsom praised the Biden administration’s decision to intervene on behalf of Silicon Valley Bank’s clients after the bank was taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. last Friday amid a bank run. The White House “acted swiftly and decisively to protect the American economy and strengthen public confidence in our banking system,” Newsom said in a statement. AGAIN STRANGE is that California is facing a huge budget shortfall this year almost 25 billion dollars ? A Bank goes under ?
