I woke up this morning to news of another mass shooting at a college campus in Santa Monica, and this just in, a mass shooting at a Jewish Museum in Brussels of all places.
This all came in before I could catch up on the latest Ukraine conflagaration, Thai coup, China market attack killing 31, the attacks on Somali parliament leaving 10 dead, the Boko Haram massacre killing 28, and the nascent conflict between China and Vietnam in the South China Sea...
When I Googled today's shooting, I inadvertently brought up a shooting at a Santa Monica college from this time last year, of almost the exact same nature. This latest one is in Santa Barbara, but who the hell can keep up with these things anymore?

Of course, the stoned mannekins who represent today's Fauxtard media make no correlation between these various violent flare-ups occurring globally; however, just as the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street movements got rolling in 2011, these latest flare-ups are all indicative of a massive turn down in global social mood, accompanying a significant market top.
The Psychosis-Inducing Illusion
This five+ year Extend and Pretend game of artificially levitating financial markets while literally everything else gets worse in the background has run its course. Clearly only these oblivious artificial markets and associated Dow Worshippers are unaware of what is going on in the real world, outside of ESPN. Pretending that everything is A-Ok while it's really going to hell in real-time has induced latent psychosis on a global basis, which is being wholly ignored by almost everyone outside of blogger-land. This of course will all resolve to the downside with extreme dislocation.
The HALO Collapse Revisited: The Point of Recognition has been delayed, not denied
The concept of a top to bottom market collapse came to me in a semi-lucid morning dream several months ago. There has never been one in the past hundred years or more, so the odds are massively against it. That said, during this entire interim, the Dow has been clinging to its all time high like some sort of magic trick. Had it already begun to slowly at first decline, as it did in 2007/2008, I would already be wrong.
No Central Bank Dumpster Diving This Time
I have decided - rightly or wrongly - that the Gods that Be want Globalization to be obliterated and therefore have artificially levitated markets to extreme highs amid mass complacency and ever-deteriorating fundamentals and rising global risk. Only then can the drop from these heights amid historically extreme brick shitting panic ensure that this globalized clusterfuck ends for good and isn't somehow rescued by Central Bank dumpster divers like it was in 2008.
The Manic is Yielding to the Depressive
And suffice to say, whatever rage we are seeing now is merely a mild preview of what will happen when the markets roll over. At such time as the Dow is more than 1% away from its all time high, then the manic euphoria obfuscating this entire fake era will very quickly yield to depressive reality. The ponzi-based bread crumb/charity model is wholly predicated upon the all-important illusion of high and rising wealth for the ultra-wealthy. The model doesn't work in reverse. So things are going to get fucking ugly, to put it mildly.
The bottom line is that this is all ending in real-time. It's now only a question of how quickly.
