Our research team documented three investigation threads:

  1. 19 members of Congress bought defense stocks before the strikes began (SEC filings)
  2. A $1.5 billion Polymarket trade was placed before Trump’s energy strike pause announcement
  3. Trump told the FT he wants to “take the oil” as the Pentagon requests $200B

    In general, we frown on self promoting accounts, but in YOUR case, this article doesn’t seem to be just actively stolen from another source, so I’m allowing it for now.

    Opening a discussion with other mods and Admins as to how we want to handle this.

    This administration is so corrupt, you can basically monitor the betting and the stock markets for spikes like these, and that’d be a pretty good indicator that you’ll be attacked/sanctioned/tariffed and whatnot.

    Time to get rid of that old, crippled whore a.k.a. the stock market. Too easy to manipulate on a scale that moves billions if not trillions worth of “value” to the upper crust.

      I’d find that honestly the least objectionable option. Obviously trumps not clean on opsec, so Barron probably has a pretty clear idea of what’s going on, but at least he’s not profiting off of his own elected position.

      Not good, to be clear, but least bad.

    They will continue to steal and steal until there is nothing left, then they will take what you have, unless stopped and that will take the same level of action that they are willing to use on us.
