"(In) democratic societies... the state can't control behavior by force. Therefore, it has to control what people think... One of the ways you control what people think is by creating the illusion that there's a debate going on, by making sure that that debate stays within very narrow margins. Namely, you have to make sure both sides in the debate accept certain assumptions, and those assumptions turn out to be the propaganda system. As long as everyone accepts the propaganda system then you can have a debate." [Noam Chomsky]
Reasoning with demoralized people is hard, but important. Deciding how to navigate difficult conversations with hypnotized loved ones is no different than trying to rescue a relative from a cult's brainwashing. "They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind. Even if you present them with authentic information. You cannot change the basic perception and logic of behavior. The process of demoralization is complete and irreversible." [1984 - Yuri Bezenov Former KGB Spy]
Maybe not this time but he will declare Martial Law -- sooner or later- (perhaps he will call it "Trump Law")- if he feels the tide is going against him. Of course this will be TEMPORARY, -- just necessary to protect the country from the evil people who disagree with his omnipotent leadership.
His big announcement is probably gonna get retracted 20 minutes later cause it’ll just be another pump and dump

I don't have a currency crisis. I haven't sold any precious metals holdings or mining. Let's see if silver reverts to 15/1 gold.
I haven't sold natural resource companies either. I'm afraid to sell energy companies with all the crazies launching deadly weapons.

The big announcement is kinda being thrown out there.
