Posted my theory as a separate thread but at a high level i see this as some sort of cover up, presumably for J13. There's no way an update goes out without testing. The timing after the RNC and during an investigation by the house is really suspicious.
Not UN, at least not at first. A "state of emergency" to give cause to use the military. Meanwhile mobs of antifa and useful idiots roam to goad civilians to resist which gives them cause to use force to squash "domestic extremism". Same playbook for last decade.
I tend to agree. I think a lot of people underestimate how quickly events unfold. The rules of engagement differ by encounter. I don't think the CS team is suspect, they acquired target quickly and accurately. Maybe they could have done better but the shooter was probably only in the roof for a few seconds before hand. Bigger failure is perimeter security.
The interest rates are what they are required to pay by the market in order to convince other countries to continue to purchase their debt. They make a lot of noise about the economy and caring about individuals and so on but in reality the market determines whether they need to raise rates. They lower rates because it gives them economic growth which increases the total amount they can issue.
I agree they should disclose the date the position was created. Were they long dated or were they close to expiry?
