Why Netanyahu Thinks America Is Stupid | Marwan Bishara

» America can always afford forever wars. «
Janet Yellen, Oct 16, 2023
» If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. «
Sun Tzu, The Art of War.

» America is a Golden Calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the world’s biggest welfare state that we will create and control. Why? Because it’s god’s will and America is big enough to take the hit so we can do it again, again and again. This is what we do to countries that we hate. We destroy them very slowly and make them suffer for refusing to be our slaves. «

Benjamin Netanyahu, 1990

The United States has provided Israel with the military means and diplomatic cover it needs to defeat Hamas in Gaza, while devastating the livelihood of more than two million Palestinians, in what qualify as war crimes. The Biden administration has covered for Israel at the United Nations and lied about it. Its denial of having obstructed a mere statement by the UN Security Council (UNSC) calling for a ceasefire, makes it look foolish, disingenuous and weak. Washington has stood alone among the members of the council in its opposition to consensus on a ceasefire, not once, not twice, but three times in the past few days. The White House spokesperson insisted that the US is pursuing an "effective" approach of "quiet, intensive, diplomacy", but as it turns out, President Joe Biden has been merely buying Israel time to get on with "finishing the job" [...] One has to wonder if any of this is in the US national interest. The short answer is no.

Against the Genocidal Zionist Regime | Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss

We have a message for this Nakba Day [May 15] 2023 commemorating the 75th year of the Zionist occupation of Palestine: We want the world to know that what is being perpetrated against the Palestinian people, the oppression, the subjugation, the terrible cruelty is not in the name of our religion. It is not in the name of the Star of David. It is not in the name of the Jewish people around the world who are true to the Jewish religion. Because we are Jews, because we are Jewish and because we are true to our religion, we are in total opposition to the existence of the Zionist state of Israel. I call it Zionist state of Israel because it is Zionist, not Jewish. We want the world to know that the Zionist movement is not a Jewish movement. It is a political materialist movement created by heretics and they simply try to incorporate our religion in order to intimidate and silence people and call them anti-semitic if they stand in opposition. But this is patently false.

Zionism is the cause of bloodshed of Palestinians and Jews alike. It is the cause of the oppression not only of the Muslims and the Christians in Palestine but also of the Jews. Hundreds of thousands of Jews have lived in Palestine prior to the establishment of the Zionist state of Israel in 1948. Jews have lived there and they're continuing to live there till today. They stand in Palestine, they demonstrate daily against the Zionist regime and get brutally beaten and arrested. This is the sad story of this terrible Nakba, the Palestinian Catastrophe, the destruction of the Palestinian society and homeland in 1948, and the permanent displacement of a majority of the Palestinian Arabs. It is a tragedy, a calamity and God with his compassion will see the suffering. And even today, the last few days, how we see daily the death and suffering of the Palestinians. This is all because of Zionism, not Judaism. We can once again live together in harmony - Jews and Arabs - as we've had lived together for all these hundreds and hundreds of years. And Jews could show their gratitude to the Arab and Muslim countries for their embracing Jews and giving them a home.

Insha'Allah, soon in our days.

Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss (May 15, 2023) - Address on Nakba’s 75th Anniversary.

Fighting the Civilisation of Dajjal - the Antichrist | Alexander Dugin

The escalation of hostilities between Israel and Palestine undoubtedly unifies the Islamic world. Western conservatives once again invoke the defence of a ‘Judeo-Christian civilisation’ in the face of Muslims – the radical ideology of Hamas gives them a convenient pretext. Yet, a society deeply rooted in atheism, materialism, and the legalisation of various perversions, which has long since abandoned theology and traditional values, cannot be considered either 'Christian' nor 'Jewish'. There is no such thing as a 'Judeo-Christian' world. This is pure nonsense. In contrast, the Islamic world exists, and its traditions remain strong. The dynamic is not Judeo-Christians versus Muslims; it is Muslims against a satanic culture, against Dajjal - the Antichrist.

» The collective West represents the utmost evil – the civilisation of Dajjal, the Antichrist. «

Biden’s idea to merge the themes of supporting Ukraine with that of Israel underlines this: the West always sides with those who obey its hegemony. Muslims were not enemies of Ukraine or allies of Russia (except the eschatologically awakened Iran and Syria), but now they may be. Russia represents a pole in a multipolar world, and Islam represents a pole in a multipolar world. Both poles stand against the West’s desperate attempts to maintain – even if it risks a world war – unipolarity and global dominance. The Palestinian conflict with Israel was not a civilisational frontline. Now it is. Similarly, the tensions between Russia and Ukraine were regional until the West supported the Nazis in Kiev. This made the war in Ukraine a frontline of a global confrontation between multipolarity and unipolarity.

The scale of this confrontation is expanding. The situation grows increasingly sinister. Billions globally are convinced that the collective West and its allies represent the utmost evil – the civilisation of Dajjal. Democrats, globalists, and neoconservatives are leading humanity straight into the abyss, strictly speaking, this is what demons are supposed to do.

Beware When Fighting Monsters | Friedrich W. Nietzsche

» Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster.

For when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. «

Friedrich W. Nietzsche

1886

Netanyahu is obsessed with razing Gaza to the ground. If that happens, a wider regional war is nearly inevitable. Sections of the West applauding the upcoming ethnic cleansing – including Zionists posing as 'analysts' saying out loud that the "population transfers" that began in 1948 "must be completed" – believe that with massive weaponry and media coverage, they can turn things around in short shrift, annihilate the Palestinian resistance, and leave Hamas allies like Hezbollah and Iran weakened. Peace in West Asia means the US retreat from Syria and Iraq; Israel retreats from Syria; Syria reconstruction – in which China is now officially involved; active redevelopment for Iraq and Lebanon; Iran and Saudi Arabia as part of BRICS 11; the Russia-China strategic partnership fully respected and interacting with all regional players, including key US allies in the Persian Gulf. And, as Chinese President Xi Jinping diplomatically put it in December 2022, Beijing "firmly supports the establishment of an independent state of Palestine that enjoys full sovereignty based on 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital. China supports Palestine in becoming a full member of the United Nations."

The Three-Day Rolling Pivot Level | Mark B. Fisher

Mark Fisher is no ordinary trader. The ACD trading system (an opening range breakout concept) he described in his 2002 book The Logical Trader is the one he and his 75-plus traders at MBF Clearing Corp. still use to make a living on the New York markets day in and day out. Does it work? Ask anyone at Fisher's firm, and they'll tell you it does. Unlike many in the business of helping traders, Fisher is happy to share his system because he believes the more people there are using it, the more effective it will be. However, the following is not specifically about Fisher's ACD system, but about his Three-Day Rolling Pivot concept (from the same book) and the general function of balance levels in daily and weekly market maker templates, about the market maker algorithm, and the origins and basic rationale of short-term trading. The 'rolling pivot' is an extension of Fisher's pivot range concept.

In the charts above a Six-Day Moving Average defines a mathematically exact balance level for all segments of the weekly and daily market maker cycles. The same is true for the balance levels defined by Fisher's Three Day Rolling Pivot, by the Weekly Pivot and by the Daily Pivot. All four govern market structure and price action within and between the trading days inside the weekly cycle. Balance levels, market structure and price action reflect the market maker logic and the process of auctioning the order flow. These balance levels can be utilized in many ways, such as to determine entry points, stops and trailing stops. Is the current price out of balance, what is the distance towards these balance levels? Price is always being moved between 'liquidity pools' and (re-) balance levels. Across hours, sessions, days and weeks the market maker orchestrates the exact same eternal recurrence of the accumulation-expansion-distribution-retracement-cycle between round numbers or levels (e.g. 0, 25, 50, 75; 0, 10, 20, 30 or 0, 20, 40, 50) also known as the pump & dump cycle.

3 Bar Patterns - the smallest fractals of market structure. Inside bars are ignored, the last bar of a fractal becomes
the first of the next. Where are the round number levels, the breakout levels, liquidity, the balance levels?

Identify in the above charts day-trading, short-term trading and swing trading setups. Define price targets, entry-, exit-, stop-levels, profit/loss ratios. Be sure everything is logically solid and proportionally related to daily and weekly highs and lows and the balance levels.

Programming the Livermore Market Key

Richard D. Wyckoff's Composite Operator a.k.a. Market Maker a.k.a Broker manages the order flow of 'buyers' and 'sellers' with a price generating auction algorithm realizing the highest mathematically possible return in 'dealing' with the flow of orders. Later on in life Wyckoff became a broker and market maker himself. His schematics and Jesse Livermore's tables illustrate the complete logic and algebra of the market maker's auction process and the pump & dump cycle. The auction algorithm works ever since it was invented. Livermore was able to do the math without calculator, paper and charts. Aged fourteen he started as a quotation board boy at a Boston brokerage business and literally saw patterns in the waves of numbers flowing each day from the ticker tape. Livermore came to understand that scheme generates more profit than any other business activity ever known to man. Fifteen year old Wyckoff had also begun as a broker’s runner to soon experience the exact same epiphany. Market makers were tremendously successful in multiplying their returns with the invention of electronic exchanges and with the invention of the daily global scheme between the 'Asian Session', the 'London Session', and the 'New York Session'. Wyckoff, Livermore and W.D. Gann were contemporaries, trading the same commodities, stocks and indices in the same exchanges. All were initiated into the auction algorithm. Wyckoff and Livermore were larger-than-life traders while Gann's true returns have always been subject of debates. He sold many expensive courses and forecasts. And what he sold to subscribers and students and how he actually traded for a living were very different things: Gann traded a double-tops-and-double-lows-in-the-direction-of-the-daily-trend-strategy - plain and simple pump & dump trading Wyckoff-Livermore style. What should we learn from all this? Maybe the lesson is to keep things as simple as possible as Tom Hougaard suggested.

Market maker pump & dump levels.

The accumulated length of the intraday price swings in the 1-minute chart of any instrument exceeds the daily true range several dozen times every single day. Imagine the factor on sub-1 minute time frames without having to deal with slippage nor transaction costs. Let that sink in. How is that possible? Understand the opening range concept and the logic and purpose of 'breakouts' and 'false breakouts' from that range. Monday's high and low define the opening range for the week; the high and low during the first thirty minutes the opening range of a session; the first three trading days of a new quarter limit the quarterly opening range; and the range of the first trading week of the year becomes the yearly opening range. Know the logic, principles and precision of price action and of market structure as taught nowadays e.g. by ICT or Sta cey Burke: Price moving in one direction always creates the exact same imbalance on the opposite side. Imbalances are re-balanced by retracements of at least 50%. Price expands in proportions of 1/8ths or 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 etc. Price is always timed and measured and moves across all times frames always proportionately to the above listed opening ranges towards (re-) balance levels. Three and nine minutes are fractals within the hour; three hours a fractal within a session and the trading day; three and nine trading days are fractals within and across weeks; three and nine weeks fractals within months and quarters. Ideally Wednesdays and Fridays are timed for ending and re-starting three day fractals within the weekly market maker template.

Calculation of the Three-Day Rolling Pivot:

Three-Day Rolling Pivot Price = (three-day high + three-day low + close) / 3
Second number = (three-day high + three-day low) / 2
Pivot differential = daily pivot price – second number
Three-Day Rolling Pivot Range High = daily pivot price + pivot differential [omitted in above charts]
Three-Day Rolling Pivot Range Low = daily pivot price – pivot differential [omitted in above charts]

Islam and the Future of Money | Imran N. Hosein

The modern monetary system emerged out of the Bretton Woods Conference of 1944 and collapsed in August 1971. It was then replaced by the petro-dollar monetary system. The ‘Ulama - Islamic scholars - lack both the knowledge and the tools of analysis with which to be able to come to the conclusion that the petro-dollar monetary system is bogus, fraudulent, and Haram - unlawful and impermissible in Islam. Unless and until the ‘Ulama of Islam study international monetary economics and summon the courage to stand up for truth and justice (al-M’aruf) while exposing and opposing all that is false and unjust (al-Munkar), it would remain impossible for Muslims to escape from this poisonous financial web which has been spun around us.

» No one in history has ever experienced the unique injustice and oppression that mankind now experiences by the
international monetary and banking system. Allah Most High made the use of gold and silver as money Halal - lawful.
Whoever makes Haram - unlawful - what Allah has made Halal, has committed the ultimate sin of Shirk , blasphemy. «
Sheikh Imran N. Hosein

We need to confront our ‘Ulama with the argument that the Shari’ah - the sacred law of Islam - cannot be enforced unless and until we restore Dinar and Dirham - gold and silver - as money, and we cannot restore Dinar and Dirham as money while yet we remain member-states of the International Monetary Fund. This is because the Articles of Agreement of the IMF, mysteriously so, prohibit the use of gold as money. If the world is to ever know why the Zionist-fashioned IMF prohibited the use of gold as money, the question must be put to Dajjal, the Antichrist. Dajjal needs a fraudulent monetary system so that he can reduce one part of the world to abject poverty and financial slavery, while enriching that part of the world which supports him and works for him.

Quoted from:
Sheikh Imran N. Hosein (2013) - Muslims must stop using US Dollar.

The Weekly Opening Range & ICT Weekly Range Profiles

The Weekly Opening Range is defined by Monday's range. Monday sets the Opening Range high and low for the entire week. Tuesday may extend that range. It could become a false break, a break and range extension, a reversal, or maybe an inside day. In a large majority of weeks, by the time Monday and Tuesday has traded, the high or low extreme is in place for the week, and one of these will tend to hold, the other may get broken.

After Monday's Weekly Opening Range only three things can happen on Tuesday:

A Breakout from a Opening Range and Trend.
A Breakout from a Opening Range and Reverse into the Opening Range (false breakout or stop hunt).
A Trading Range between Highs and Lows of the Opening Range (inside day).

Coming into Wednesday, look for the following:

Did Monday or Tuesday close as an inside day?
Did Tuesday's breakout fail?
Did Tuesday close outside of Monday's Opening Range (= Opening Range Breakout) or inside?
Was Tuesday a First Red Day (FRD) or a First Green Day (FGD)?
Has there already been 3 levels of rise or fall from the High or the Low of the Week (LOW/HOW)? This could indicate a daily reversal.
Consider market structure!

Here are some additional observations related to whether Wednesday will be a reversal or a trend continuation of the Monday-Tuesday initial balance:

If the market closes outside of Monday's Opening Range on Tuesday, the probability that Wednesday continues the trend increases significantly (unless the breakout fails on Wednesday)
On Tuesday the market breaks out of Monday's range, but pulls back and closes inside of Monday's range (failed breakout). The probability of reaching for the other end of the Opening Range increases significantly.
If Monday's breakout fails, and Tuesday's breakout also fails at the other end of Monday's range, there is high potential for a Parabolic Trend Trade on Wednesday.
3 Pushes of drives out of the Weekly Opening Range coming into Friday has the highest potential for a large reversal.
If there are only 2 drives out of the Opening Range coming into Friday, there is a higher probability for a Parabolic Trend Trade.
If the breakout on Tuesday closes 3 levels of rise or fall out of the Opening Range, the potential for reversal throughout the week increases.
In most instruments the Tuesday-Friday range extension from Monday's opening range is usually a multiple of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 or 5 of Monday's range.
In most instruments the Average Weekly Range equals 1.8 to 2.3 times the Average Daily Range.
