Hey everyone,
Here is the article: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chinas-economy-suddenly-disintegrates-land-sales-crater-90
He summed things up nicely at the end: "Bottom line: Beijing is facing an economy whose wheels have suddenly come off, and unless China's political elite is willing to unleash another massive monetary and fiscal tsunami and bail out the economy all over again - something Beijing has repeatedly vowed it won't do this time - a hard landing, whether or not accompanied by a Volcker Moment, is virtually guaranteed."
I'm sure all the pedes here will have much to discuss about this.
They can only go so far with stolen technology. At some point, if you wish to obtain global economic domincance or at least prominence, you'll have to start developing your own tech, and homegrow your own business masterminds, letting their creativity and cunning build into the infrastructure estabilished by the state or by previous businesses.
China didn't do that. They are an economic parasite who relies solely on their cooked up books and slave labour to attract foreign capital. Their researchers are all controlled and all their businessmen are held on a tight leash, from the "owner" of a noodles cart to Jack Ma (Bezos-level billionaire).
Here's their major risk, and what makes communist states fail. Doesn't matter how it starts, they always end up with a bureaucratic elite who has full control of the economy, but doesn't know squat about what the people want or need at a given moment, or about running any successful business.
I hope they crash and burn. And may this rotten world order burn with them aswell.
All communists are parasites. It cannot build and thrive on its own.
It’s weird, the people arent parasites, but they are meek, and almost beaten. Slave like. No creativity what so ever. They won’t be taking over the world anytime soon, as much the CCP may want.
I saw some video (may have gotten it here) where they were praising the CCP's new system of 24/7 surveillance and social credit. They interviewed people who live there and they were all for it because "it encourages good behavior." No, asswipe, it's tyranny. Good behavior is a choice, but people who live in that hellhole can't fathom having a choice about anything because they are slaves to their masters. It's sickening.
Not trying to argue, but it’s not quite as bad as you may think. In many ways, it is freer than here. There is not a police presence everywhere like there is here (at least where I was). The factory owners and their children are American ish. It was fun hearing stories about how they all beat the firewall and one kid policy.
But it is a shithole, and I would never look forward to going there.
Thanks for sharing. I wonder if the lack of a police presence is due to the 24/7 surveillance. Give up all of your privacy and you don't have cops breathing down your neck. Of course, that's just a guess on my part.
But yeah, I wouldn't want to go there.
I hear they’re handing out prescriptions for that symptom now….
Maybe we should givehorse paste to our govt to rid of the ccp infiltration
I'll take a shot of horse paste to that... on the rocks plz
They also rely on organ harvesting
Well, pretty much all criminal orgs do in one way or another. It's not a communist exclusive thing
Also fostering a culture of lying, cheating, and fraud yields... you guessed it, all of that! You might have intended it to be aimed at your opponents, but inevitably you'll have it amongst your own ranks, and that will ruin your ability to properly plan or grow because you'll never know what numbers are accurate; you'll not know if that giant three gorges dam was built to proper specification or if it will just rupture, you'll never know if the jet fighters you are developing will actually be able to be undetected by enemy radar, you'll never know if you're going to have a food shortage, and so on.
And that's just the start.
Just prepare for absolute chaos across the board. Shit’s gonna get crazy.
Financial: GME, Gold, Silver, good crypto’s
Have a good bug in or bug out plan. Have multiple routes to your bug out location.
Food, Water, light and energy. Be diversified. Be able to provide all of these through as many avenues as possible.
Don’t be an idiot and make yourself a target. For my fellow APES on here don’t go around flaunting your tendies if MOASS happens. You don’t want fair weather friends and family to come after you especially after their 401k’s go to shit. Only my brother knows how many GME shares I have.
Make plans with like minded friends, neighbors and family. Have an idea who you are willing to help. Don’t tell non like minded people you prep. They will come for you and you’ll have to turn them down or worse.
Fellow ape and GME holder here as well, your thoughts mirror my own. Well said.
You guys are right about gold and silver, but you are going to get killed with GME. The short squeeze days are over. Only 13.4% of the float is shorted now. Compare that to when the squeeze took place....over 100% was shorted. It's either going to be a slow bleed or a sudden collapse. Either way, you are going to lose money on GME.

Reported short interest data is not accurate. FINRA data shows that institutions own 66.9 million shares of GME. The float is only 63.5 million. That number doesn't include retail investors, home offices, or whales that are long the stock. https://finra-markets.morningstar.com/MarketData/EquityOptions/detail.jsp?query=126:0P000002CH click on shareholders then scroll down to Equity Ownership and click on Institutions. It's not just GME in a short squeeze situation. Institutions own 176.31% of Bed Bath & Beyond BBBY. This is only possible if there is fake synthetic counterfeit shares in circulation. M, XRT, OSTK, MSTR, LULU and PETS are in a similar potential short squeeze situation. When margin calls happen and these stocks start rocketing it could bring down the whole market 1987 style. r/superstonk on reddit has some excellent DD worth reading.
Not financial advice.
All these stocks that are over shorted are the same stocks that the hedge funds and market makers thought were going to go under during the pandemic shutdowns. They got greedy and are now in a place where they cannot get back from. Better Buckle Up!
HODL
"Only 13.4%" is seriously the funniest thing I've read all day, lol. Talk about your fake news...
The hard-to-borrow fee is only 0.4%. Some stocks that are heavily shorted can rise to 200% or more. If there were truly not many shares to short, these fees would be higher.
Then you'll surely take advantage of that bargain and short a bunch yourself, right? Practice what you preach.
The market crash will be the catalyst. All world markets will start collapsing. The criminals went all in on the scamdemic.
The Fed can’t bail out all the people who shorted GME without causing mass instant hyperinflation. This shit goes all the way to Amazon for example. The government will desperately need money from the capital gains taxes as they will be broke and will let the hedgefunds and banks who shorted GME fail. Remember when Yellen said the government will be broke soon?
The Fed is the final boss and will throw everyone under the bus to save themselves. They do not give a shit the hedgefunds. Their control is most important. They have to keep their system in place until they are ready with the great reset. The people though will start moving into Gold/Silver and crypto. Imagine thousands of GME and AMC Apes buying shit loads of PM’s and crypto at once.
Storzak’s wife is a pawn. GME will explode cause the market crash will force their hand.
I think Trump trapped the Wall Street old guard with the vax. All these people shorted GME and others cause they thought the lockdowns would last years. They never thought she would lose, they never thought Trump could get the vax out that fast. Now they all lose, game over.
If your theory about the gov wanting that capital gains taxes is true, then it's in their best interest to launch this rocket before the end of the year, so they can collect those taxes by April 15.
I'm in CA, highest taxes in the nation (expect maybe NY?) and we've already been entertaining the idea of moving to Florida (we've been there twice in the past six months, scouting it out) and if yuge $ rolls in after Jan 1 ('22 tax year) then I'm moving to FL for zero state taxes on that windfall.
See my comment The MOASS already happened.
Why don't you test you claims over at r/SuperStonk instead?
Your notion that it already happened has been addressed and unequivocally disproven probably thousands of times over.
Short it then pussy. Bring proof or STFU.
🦍🚀👍🏽
If you don't mind me asking, are there any trading apps you recommend that still allow you to go long on GME? I know alot of the major ones clamped down on it during the first big rush.
The buy restrictions are over for now. Diversifying among brokers is probably safest. Avoid Robbinghood and others who turned off the buy button in January.
Direct registration through computershare then switching them to “book” shares is the way to save shares for the infinity pool and could be the catalyst needed to take the lendable shares out of circulation with the DTCC.
Not financial advice.
Fidelity is the most reliable and used on superstonk. I have an account with WeBull though just in case there is fuckery.
A communist country in collapse is a dangerous one.
They have nothing left to lose and I can see them going full steam ahead at Taiwan in search of their precious resources.
I do not think they will win but I think the timing of this and the military drills with several countries are not a coincidence.
I've been looking at the numbers and so on pretty closely. Taiwan could defend solo against them for ages, probably, which would be effectively a loss for china because of the morale blow that would deal.
Taiwan is an incredibly hardened target. The entire nation is like a bunker.
On the other hand, Japan and South Korea are well armed but larger and softer targets. In the assumption that they both would come to Taiwan's aid anyway, I actually think a Chinese first strike would occur against Japan or South Korea. If they could act quickly enough and seize either nation, their chances of victory go up immensely overall. Should they seize Japan, they could push South Korea from almost all sides and perform a slow starving of Taiwan.
Exactly, didn't want to get into it too much but yeah. I've heard other stuff like how there are dedicated oil lines running under all of the 13 assailable beachheads that can be ruptured to ignite the beaches on command.
Also the planning of placing chemical facilities near each beachhead so that toxic chemicals can be spewed onto and near the beaches in the event of an assault.
Every foot of that island is designed to resist an invasion force from China. I think the only power in the world that could take it by force would be the US, and that would only be done by sheer volume of firepower and aircraft; a volume that remains pretty thoroughly unrivaled by every nation on the planet.

Laowhy86 said it well. I posted this recently. It’s more validation.
Good video! ?backward going ships all Why. Interdasting!
Where did I see it happen before... a communist country going broke because communism does not work? Oh, yes: USSR, Cuba, etc.
Here's something I watched today, when there's protesting reported in heavily controlled media in China, you know something is up. These people and corps are losing their shirts:
https://youtu.be/mwyuHzKDMyI
What about all the fake gold they were peddling? Whatever happened to that?
Red October, as in "In the Red"
China can only invade Taiwan in October or April, due to weather.
An unfounded rumour says they will begin the two weeks of shelling on the 25th of September.
I needed some good news today.
they've been sucking the life out of us for over 20 years and they still can't survive. must be the communist undead.
“Huawei will build it.” Lol.
There is big risk of contagion globally as a result from this, much like the asian crisis in 97 has led to LTCM hedge fund collapse.
E v e r g r a n d e = L e h m a n B r o s 2008
If we don't have another Volcker Moment... we are in the same boat.
Nothing happens suddenly in China.
