The Globalist American Empire Declares All-Out War On the American People

Millions of people around the world have been enraptured by the WallStreetBets saga. A few small online traders discovered that a hedge fund had massively overshorted video game retailer GameStop, and initiated a short squeeze that made a few ordinary investors millionaires while sending a Wall Street darling to the brink of bankruptcy. The response from the press, Wall Street, and even the Biden White House has been deranged. A few traders making money at the expense of a hedge fund has been treated as a national scandal.

Those in power, terrified and enraged at having their status threatened, are overreacting and throwing out all the rules in a flailing attempt to keep things under control.

The desperation has been so obvious that it was broadcast on TV to tens of millions of people. Leon Cooperman, who ought to be better-adjusted considering he is a billionaire, fumed on television about how beating a hedge fund was an โ€œattackโ€ on the rich.

Of course, in real life, short sellers have always been vulnerable to so-called โ€œbull raids.โ€ GameStopโ€™s rise isnโ€™t the first short squeeze in history. In 2008, a short squeeze of Volkswagen temporarily turned it into the worldโ€™s most valuable company.

The meltdown produced grotesque outburts. Ordinary retail investors were compared with rioters storming the U.S. Capitol:

Inevitably, there came wild allegations of Russian meddling.
