‘A rare and worrisome thing happened during Wednesday's stock market slaughter: Bonds fell, too’

cnbc.com/2018/10/10/a-r…
I have concerns as the market started to fall once it became clear Kavanaugh would be confirmed. Renaissance Technologies (Robert Mercer) raised significantly more investment cash in 2017.

Was Ren Tech helping prop the market up and are they now pulling back?
I won’t know until their next filings. I am hoping that greed will keep them in play. I am not sure if this is related:

‘Renaissance Technologies LLC decreased its position in Nasdaq Inc (NASDAQ:NDAQ) by 87.6% during the 2nd quarter’ themarketsdaily.com/2018/10/10/nas…

1. Let’s see what Mnuchin is up to... Oh, he sent the market into a tailspin by calling an unnecessary emergency meeting Christmas Eve.

But there is more here than meets the eye. Let me explain.

theintercept.com/2019/01/01/ste…
2. Mnuchin Blames Volcker Rule for market volatility, which makes no sense, since the rule was in place during Obama and no volatilty.

The Volker rule essentially prevents banks from speculating that might be harmful to customers.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Hillary Clinton wanted to strengthen the Volker rule and was also going to propose a high-frequency trading tax.

Which would make Hedge Fund companies (like Mercer’s) a little miserable.

‘Trump administration is weighing Afghan troop withdrawal’

•Mattis leaving
•US pulling out of Syria

nbcnews.com/news/military/…
Putin is following the ‘Foundations of Geopolitics.’ In the book, Dugin calls for ‘strategic control of the United States’ and calls Russia the ‘staging area of an anti-American revolution.’ Dugin called for the weakening of ‘liberal values.’

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundatio…
For this plan to work: ‘Military operations play relatively little role. The textbook believes in a sophisticated program of subversion, destabilization, and disinformation spearheaded by the Russian special services’

1. This secret grand jury case is possibly Mueller’s and the court documents make reference to it being a company ‘owned by Country A.’ This limits which company it might be. Vnesheconombank (VEB) is a Russian government-owned bank.

talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/appe…
As per the New York Times (2017) VEB is ‘intertwined with Russian intelligence.’

It’s also the Bank that met secretly with Kushner and helped finance Trump’s Toronto hotel.

businessinsider.com/russian-vneshe…
Deutsche Bank and Alfa Bank are not state-owned. Cambridge Analytica and it’s related entities (SCL, AIQ) are located in other countries, but not state-owned.

This is also the case where the entire floor was cleared.

A most unsettling thing about Brett #Kavanaugh & His Amazing Secret Treasure Trove of Hidden Legal Work for the Incredible Unknowns is he's not only been adjudicating real world cases, there's a system in place that could be funneling his Secret Incredible Unknowns to his court.
If so, every contest that lands in his Court of Hidden Findings for Bretts Buddies is intended to reward his Secret Incredible Unknown Clients for a variety of reasons, not limited to financially punishing the Many Legal Suckers Destined to Lose by Brett, even if In The Right.
That there's a Judge Brett #Kavanaugh sitting as judge in U.S. Federal Court System, working on behalf of his secret clients, shielded by Bush, Obama, & Trump, all riding legislation from Clinton or before, says our government is corrupt, right in full view.

Kavanaugh was 37 & in the White House.

Kavanaugh email sent to friends in 2001, apologizing about becoming aggressive after a dice game that Kavanaugh says he can't recall.

Reminds friends of obligation of confidentiality, even from spouses

@JeffFlake

The written confessions & corroboration of Mark Judge:

"I had blacked out ... I looked around quickly. I was fully clothed. I started to panic, terrified of what I could have done during the blackout. I could have murdered somebody.”
#Kavanaugh
@JeffFlake rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
There is only one credible reliable eyewitness - Dr. Ford and the calendar of Kavanaugh, the writings of Mark Judge corroborate her testimony.

They were blackout drunks.

In Kavanaugh's own handwriting

Ok, my take on yesterday (thread):

It was supposed to be a dispassionate, bipartisan search for the truth concerning some deeply troubling, highly credible allegations. During Ford’s testimony, it was treated by both sides with the seriousness it deserved.

Then came #Kavenaugh
Guilty or innocent, I’d expect him to be upset. What I didn’t expect was the total abandonment of decorum, maturity, good-faith cooperation, and pursuit of truth. He shouted, interrupted, evaded, and outright refused to answer questions.
It was beneath the dignity of the position he’s nominated for, and what’s worse, he actually *framed* his recalcitrance in partisan terms—sweeping generalizations and even conspiracy theories about an entire political party, in an effort to shift both blame and focus.

#Kavanaugh comes across as completely sincere in his denials in this transcript (9/25/18)--no question about it.

Yet the incidents he denies undoubtedly occurred.

The likely--and reconciling--explanation is: alcoholic blackouts. 1/4
tinyurl.com/y9no6pnt
Here are two links that help make this understandable--and entirely plausible.

Note that brain research has shown that some people are much more susceptible to blackouts than others.

This raises a different set of questions than the ones raised so far: e.g., is the misogyny and aggression against women that clearly emerged in #Kavanaugh’s drinking binges to be taken into account even if he is exemplary when he’s *not* drunk? etc. 3/4

GOP wants a vote on #Kavanaugh for #SCOTUS before documents are released. Many asking #WhatAreTheyHiding?

He was with G.W. Bush, 2000-2006.

Thought someone should do a thread of all controversies during that time that they might be hiding. Continued⤵
slate.com/news-and-polit…
This thread ended up being longer than I anticipated, turns out the George W. Bush admin had more than a few controversies—I expect I missed a few things.

If you notice something big I missed, comment with reputable news article, and I’ll quote tweet your comment onto the thread
The 2000 FL Vote recount (Florida law required recount for a razor close election, Bush legal team argued to end it, eventually successfully before the #SCOTUS … he was on the Bush legal team).

The majority of the #Kavanaugh discussion has focused on his politics, but we should be more immediately worried about his inclination to cede oversight of the Executive by the Judiciary & Congress.

This would mean the death of American democracy.... and our policies with it. /1
Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to #SCOTUS isn't just a threat to 2 centuries of American policy progress; it's a threat to our very Republic.

Kavanaugh's track record indicates he'd grant Trump expanded power & further open the door to Trump's ongoing authoritarian power grab. 2/
In 1999 Kavanaugh floated the idea that the Supreme Court was wrong to compel Nixon to turn over the Watergate tapes and other subpoenaed materials that ultimately led to his resignation (to avoid impeachment). 3/
