One thing you need to know about Lucifer, is that he likes to be treated as an equal. I hear people all the time use the title "Lord Lucifer", I get the sense that he really hates it.

Lucifer is a spirit that doesn't want or need worship, when he works with someone, he wants you to work with him and view him as an equal. His whole thing on what he teaches is respect and love in yourself, trust in yourself, being able to be free, of body and thought. He's my teacher, my mentor and my friend. He doesn't want worship, he to work with people on an equal level.

His whole sin having been pride thing, and because he was proud then he's not able to be free of redemption is just so ludicrous to me after working and building a relationship with him because he wants you to view and treat you as an equal and come to realize that the God within yourself is the God that is most deserving of worship.

John 10:34

Higher spirituality and discovering the truth about the world, requires you to question. The God within ourselves desires and craves freedom, and there is no greater slavery than slavery of thought and mind. A religion or a God that doesn't let you question, explore or discover the truth about life, death, the universe, or yourself, is a religion that is keeping you in chains. It's been over 2000 years and do you know why there has never been another prophet?

Because to speak for God, you have to comprehend God, to realize God, you have to understand God, to comprehend God, you need to look outside your preconceived notions of what God is because God is infinite and can't be fit into some kind of categorization. God is beyond words, speech, language, you can use words and symbolism to try to portray some aspects or a part of God, but it's like the parable with the blind men touching the elephant. It's only a small part of the infinite.

God is love. God is light. God is pressure. God is being (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_that_I_Am#:~:text=%22I%20Am%20that%20I%20Am,I%20am%20the%20Existing%20One%22), God is consciousness. God is unconsciousness. God is one. God is many. God is me.

To find, explore and understand God is to look within and understand yourself.

“My name is Max Azzarello , and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan,” his manifesto read (Curious how the manifesto was released so quick )

“This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery: We are victims of a totalitarian con , and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.”

“These claims sound like fantastical conspiracy theory, but they are not. They are proof of conspiracy. If you investigate this mountain of research, you will prove them too. If you learn a great deal about Ponzi schemes, you will discover that our life is a lie.”

“If you follow this story and the links below, you will discover the rotten truth of ‘post-truth America'. You will learn the scariest and stupidest story in world history. And you will realize that we are all in a desperate state of emergency that requires your action.” (shitlib discovers the obvious, commits suicide )

“To my friends and family, witnesses and first responders, I deeply apologize for inflicting this pain upon you. But I assure you it is a drop in the bucket compared to what our government intends to inflict.”

“Because these words are true, this is an act of revolution.”

Basically women don't take responsibility for their own actions ever and instead of explaining why they lost a boyfriend or something they'll just say oh he was a virgo and that's why it didn't work. Like they literally gaslightly themselves into believing that Mars spinning in the wrong direction is the reason their friendship ended.

Norm Macdonald - On the origins of 4/20 & Origins of Adolf Hitler

Transcript below:

So 4/20 was the birthday of Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party.

a fella went by the name of Adolf Hitler…

…but this guy there's a picture of him!

…Adolf Hitler very compelling kind of a figure, odd-looking duck…

but there's something about his eyes hypnotic his...eyes are almost entirely black...

he was a decorated veteran of World War one and he joined the work — HOLD THE FORT!!

……

…he hated Jews.

I'm sick of these kind of characters!

…I think we should kill Hitler. Mee and you go suicide kill him!

Adam: the guy like died 50 years ago…

NORM: I didn't even know he was sick!

Adam: …he wasn't...well...no...that's fine.

Norm: I wish I could find a Hitler today and go kill him.

Never forget this gem. There's a full 30m version of this with 10/10 Norm in sweatpants on a ROLL.

1. What is fueling this bull market

As far as for influence in the S&P 500, the stock markets and risky assets in the US there's no international factors that exist but for war. If war kicks in, as we've seen with Ukraine in terms of its impact on oil, oil price and various other things, if China gets scary in terms of Taiwan, yeah, it might have an impact (negligible).

But that's more of a function of the fiscal changes that the US has to put on its books in response to the national defense. But as far as any sort of monetary change, they just don't exist. You could actually say that if you identify that there's such a thing as a global liquidity, that's a spurious correlation.

If you search hard enough, you can find indexes after the fact, even after the fact might be five minutes. But after the fact, you can get all sorts of neat indexes, like what's the coffee price influence on steelmaking in the United States? Everything comes in and out.

But the thing is, is what's the Federal Reserve up to in terms of its actual cash flow? There's no such a thing as a fed induced liquidity (no matter what wingcucks on either end of the political spectrum neolibs vs AnCaps tell you). The Fed and if you just deal with just the United States, the Fed, not since World War II (and they didn't even do it during this COVID period), has actually put money into the country.”

Regarding what they have put in, they're mostly a very small trim tab, which because of the law that divides mandatory discretionary spend from Congress does have influence. They can tighten, they can ease, but it's a small fraction of what the actual innate US economy is doing

Now, if Congress, like the Soviet Politburo, is tied up in a five-year forward plan of what they can spend and not spend, you can have some forward look in terms of what that's going to be, then yeah, the Fed matters.”

They can have an influence. Volcker proved it with what he did, but by the way, that's the only time the Fed's ever proven that they can handle inflation More on that below). They thereafter acted like a trim tab, where they just did a very small amount of tightening or easing, which influenced the market that gave the forward expectations thesis, that's the New Keynesian thesis, which has actually just gotten out of hand totally, which is that the forward expectations of what the Fed's going to do is all that counts.

It's the federal government's bank is what the Fed is. It was never a policy maker. What's happened is that given what happened with the GFC and the Fed moved to a completely, radically new way of operating, which is called Neo-Wixel-Woodford, or whatever you might want to call it, and there's a lot of material that started with Woodford's 2012 presentation at Jackson Hole, where the Fed just shifted to forward markets. (Attached - Michael Woodford's paper on Forward Guidance, presented at the Kansas City Fed Meet, 2012 in Jackson Hole. Read it if you want; I glossed over and rolled my eyes so many times within the first 10 pages I have no interest in going through the whole thing: https://www.kansascityfed.org/Jackson%20Hole/documents/6930/Woodford_JH2012.pdf ).

They can just set down the framing of what they can do. And that's supposed to be monetary policy. Well, that, from any rational point of view, means that the Fed has just given up and left the play field.

That, especially when there's an exogenous shock like COVID looming over and the Fed's not evolved, signals what their power truly is. They're always just a small trip tap, so if they actually expect that forward expectation management is all they have to do, well, sooner or later, people start to poke at it. And then more and more poke at it, and they say, okay, things are great two years from now or a year from now.

Yet sentiment matters, and the Fed is the principal definer of sentiment right now. And last week (after the markets held steady even after rates were not cut and there was an indication that it might even go up) was the start of the end of that grip on the market. It was almost like a near panic among Fixed Income hustle and bustle cels.

Yet everything the Fed did was clearly orchestrated. Everyone had like six talking points in front of them before they go out. There is no independence with all the FOMC and the regional Fed governors.

Unless there's like a two to three trillion dollar tightening that comes from, and at this point, only Congress can deliver that, the stock market has only one way to go. Now, it might be that the nominal growth might be inflationary, it might not, but the stock market is going to continue to go up.

2. But what is the Fed then?

What happened in the 70s, this is the fundamental object lesson of monetary policy is every time there was the slightest hint that the economy could be turning down, the Fed lowered rates and then inflation came back up and then they increased rates. And the issue is when the Fed doesn't look like it's resolute on inflation, inflation doesn't come back to where it was before, it comes to higher than it was before, which means that every time to fight it, you've got to take rates even higher, which means that the damage you do to the economy is even more. And so letting it, expectations spiral out of control, I think is just a very risky thing for the economy.

And that's not some theoretical model. People actually lived through in the 70s. Volcker buck broke the economy under Carter and Ford but neither of the trio get the recognition they deserve. 😞

The overall story that inflation is moderating is still the right story. But the not dumb people have long been of the view that inflation has been, and will be more stubborn to come back to 2% than everyone would like. And in particular, in the last half of last year, part of the reason the numbers came back so nicely was that goods turned deflationary and that offset still higher than normal levels of inflation on services and shelter.

Now, in the 2000s, there was healthcare inflation that was quite significant and much more than it was in the 90s. But goods price deflation came down. So the basket does shift and it's fine if it shifts, it just needs to get to 2% overall. Frick it, we ballin on averages, cuz.

And so that makes policy pretty straightforward with today's world, which is, you have restrictive rates and you want to be restrictive and bring inflation down.

Thus there would also seem to be a disconnect between a certain number of Fed officials who will say policy is restrictive versus looking at something like that financial conditions index, or even the amount of refinancing being undertaken by like the corporate bond market or the loan market recently. So there are many financial conditions indices. Some of them show looser than others. As it should. It's miscalculation and hand waving from them, it's almost a schizophrenia inducing cognitive dissonance among ABS/MBS and bond traders. They have no clue wtf is going on and how to interpret yield curves anymore.

3. WTF is a housing market bubble (Section only for zoomers and below 60 IQ) !r-slurs

But how much a restrictive policy today restrain the housing supply of tomorrow; whether it's like a multifamily house, where there has been recent data that new multifamily development has really fallen off quite a bit. And in theory, that means housing becoming more scarce in 2026

And when fed started raising rates, the country was in the middle of as frothy a period in the housing market as it could have gotten. On an average, 12 bids per house. Houses going for $40,000 over listed price.

As of late, single family starts are quite strong and much stronger than normal in this cycle, in part because I think availability of existing homes has been so low. And multifamily starts have come down a bunch, but that was from a very, very high peak.

And so they're not that far off today where they were before the pandemic.

If the economy continues to be as robust it is with rates where they are, that'll tell you something. (Spoiler - Housing will not come down)

A. Productivity would be a very simple way to explain the change. A higher productivity economy is a higher trend growth economy, which would do it. Something something solow model or sumthn.

But coming back to inflation. Why is it set around 2% by the Fed?

First: IDK.

Second: It has worked for 30 years

Third: It's a good number to measure deflation

A good example would be encyclopedias. I used to buy encyclopedias, so did you. (Pre 2000s born). No one buys an encyclopedia today. It's on your phone. And so it's out of the index. And so it's gone from being whatever it's price was, say $399 to zero. That's deflation, but it's out of the index. And so speaking more about tech, actually, you're not buying a camera anymore or film. It's taken a set of things out of the index, deflationary.”

If you set a target at zero and you don't hit it exactly, you're in deflationary territory. And deflation is where everything tomorrow costs less than it does today. So the incentive to buy today goes down, which means an economy tends to stagnate.

Really the major tool the Fed has is credibility.

Tl;dr - DUMBFRICKS STOP LOOKING AT THE FED NEWS AND RATES TO REBALANCE YOUR PORTFOLIO

the entire hole was either s or literal whores 🤣🤣🤣🤣femcel my butt neighbor

Because I do. Imagining stuff like that kinda helps me cope sometimes. It's like a mental escape from the harsh and extremely upsetting reality that is animal agriculture and the people in this world who justify it for selfish reasons. I like to imagine living in a world where animal rights are important to everybody (or at least the vast majority) and farming animals for food isn't even a thing.

Everybody's just vegan by default, and if a person were ever to suggest harming animals for food or clothing in this fictitious world, the population would basically look at them as if they just insulted somebody's mother in the worst possible manner. Haha. I mean, it just gets so darn tiring being a vegan in a non-vegan world sometimes. Oh, who am I kidding? All the time. I know a fully vegan planet is only a fantasy at this point, but it helps to think that someday, it might actually become reality.

Does anybody else like to fantasize about this stuff too (as a way to cope with the opposite being true)? 🌱🌎

Sometimes I forget that I don't.

My husband and I are both vegan, as are our close friends who come over for movies and game nights. I work from home, eat snack, lunch, and dinner from home. As long as I'm home, my little world seems vegan. I don't have to say 'vegan cheese' or 'that fake salami' I just say the words as what they mean to me, in my house... In my house, animals are sentient, emotional, loving, intelligent beings that are treated with respect. We don't kill the spiders, we hang up birdhouses and bat boxes for the local wildlife, and it sits well with our souls.

But then I leave my house, and I'm back to putting up emotional barriers when I walk through the grocery store or when out shopping. I'm back to being on guard and trying to do what's right.

I think the best thing we can do is try to bring that dream of yours (of many of us) to life in our own little parts of the world. The little sanctuary you create for yourself is a little sanctuary you've also created for love and understanding.

how are these people real
