The hypocrisy in this degenerating society is overwhelming. Obama never questioned Fed policy once, yet his Fed chief was criticized for political interference. Now Trump blatantly coerces the Fed to cut rates, no one on the right even questions it. His abuses of power are unchecked and unprecedented, all gimmicks simply to get himself re-elected so he can ban democracy forever.

Little do they know that their very own Anti-Christ is about to bury them for good.

Oil is stalled at the 200 day, sporting a fractal identical to May:
Apple is rallying after hours on reports of slowing growth and declining profits. Wall Street once again massaging expectations ahead of time:

Gamblers have been warned for ten years straight about the various gimmicks that have been used to create this illusion.
All warnings have been assiduously ignored.

"Diminished liquidity in the E-mini market is symptomatic of broader trends. Analysts at JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and investment management firm Bernstein are among those warning that stock market liquidity is in serious decline, with growing dangers that a modest stock market selloff could snowball into a full-blown crash"
What has caused this decline in liquidity? Insiders getting out while they can:
