US pathetic threat to Russia

As I am scanning my 16 screens for the next forex trade I come across a slightly outdated, but yet relevant new stories about our favorite fugitive; Edward Snowden. Yes, he is still stuck at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport in the transit zone which Russia regards as neutral territory. He has not been seen in public since June 23rd, but he did have a meeting with human rights activists.

Hi lawyer Anatoly Kucherena stated that Snowden has applied for temporary asylum until the logistics of his future travel have been resolved. The US revoked his passport, but Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela have offered permanent asylum to Snowden. The problem is that none of the countries can be reached via direct flight and Snowden is afraid that the US will force allies to restrict a plane suspected of carrying Snowden from entering their airspace as was the case with the Presidential plane of Bolivia.

Another fear is that a plane suspected with Snowden on board will be diverted and forced to land at an ally air force base where he can be detained. Kucherena did not rule out that Snowden may apply for Russian citizenship in order to enjoy protection there and to be honest that seems to be his best option as it does not take much to apprehend Snowden or worse in the three Latin American countries which offered him refuge and without causing too much damage.

In Russia he would be safe and secure and could leave a free life. Plenty of Russians have offered him money and shelter, one woman offered to adopt him and another ex-Russian spy offered to marry him. There you go Snowden, being married to a very hot and sexy former Russian spy and enjoying life in a great country with her; take it or take it as it is a no brainer.

Should Snowden be granted a temporary asylum he would be free to work and travel across Russia for the next 12 months and Kucherena stated that Snowden applied for temporary asylum rather than political asylum as the process is much faster. Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of the smartest politicians of modern time, said that Snowden could remain in Russia if he would stop leaking confidential information which is damaging to the US.

The US wants Snowden to be returned and face espionage charges which the Department of State calls a fair and just trial. I am not sure too many are convinced and Snowden fears of torture and death are not too far-fetched.  He did what he did was right and exposed internal as well as external spy programs which the NSA installed and executed which invaded not only the privacy of its citizens, but also of its closest allies.

The US is desperate and now barks up the wrong tree while threatening that Russia would risk long-term problems with the US unless Russia does as the US begs and complies. This empty and moronic threat made me laugh as I am looking over the AUDNZD H1 chart and scan my next entry point. It is funny how the weak threatens the strong and thinks they can achieve something with their threat. I am sure every intelligent person in Russia finds the threat equally amusing.

Those who scratch their forehead right now and look like a complete motard wondering what motard stands for, here are a few pointers which may guide you to the amusement destination humans with an IQ above 75 frequently enjoy:

  • Russia together with China are the new global super-powers and you can’t mess with this one-two punch which together with Brazil, India and South Africa form what is collectively known as BRICS. BRICS sticks together and forms a strong and powerful foundation with plenty of economic, financial and military power to take out any nation which threatens their borders. Furthermore India and South Africa are members of the Commonwealth of Nations and the head of the 54 independent countries is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II which will stick closer to her agenda than to support a former colony which rebelled against the British Empire.
  • The US has been collapsing in all important areas; economy, finance, military. Allies have abandoned the US, but it appears some EU members, at least four, still nurture ties with the collapsing American empire and decided to assist the sinking ship. Eventually they will pay for their pathetic stupidity as no bad deed goes unpunished in the political space. Countries take note and the day will come when those countries need something at which point they will be politely bend over for an anal response.
  • The US owes Russia billions of dollars and therefore is in no position to threaten or negotiate anything. Should Russia feel offended enough they will get BRICS to sell US Treasuries in the open market and stop financing the US basic needs which would result in total catastrophe and collapse of most basic services across the US which is what Washington is aware of and therefore all they can do it bitch about the situation; a barking dog does not bite and the US barks quite a bit and pisses on the wrong tree.

Northern Colorado Secession Plans

0 comments
I know it has been a while, but the last two weeks I was extremely busy with some rogue forex trading which I needed to focus on in order to keep everything intact. The life of a rogue forex trader can be extremely rewarding; having said that there may be times when you guys will miss me and my rogue forex trades here as more pressing matters require my full attention such as my trade set-ups for the next few weeks.

While I was analyzing charts in order to find the next rogue forex trade which I will share with you guys on Monday, I did have some time to stumble across a very interesting article which I could not keep to myself. It has to do with Colorado or rather Northern Colorado which wants to become the first state to secede since West Virginia seceded from Virginia back in 1863 during the Civil War. This was 14 years before Colorado even joined the union.

Since then there has been no secession in the US, but it was only a matter of time. Northern Colorado is serious about it and a total of eight counties are in secession plans together. I am rather excited about this, but do not get too excited forex traders. I doubt they will have their own currency and merely adopt the US Dollar as their currency which means now new currency crosses to trade.

Which eight counties want to form the 51st state?
  • Kit Carson County
  • Logan County
  • Morgan County
  • Phillips County
  • Sedgwick County
  • Washington County
  • Weld County
  • Yuma County
There may be two Nebraska counties who would like to join the new state as well as two Kansas counties which means that there could be up to 12 counties from three different states who would like to secede and form their own state which they can govern free of socialistic left-wing propaganda.

Secession talks are usually heavy in Texas which continues to see an increase in secession wishes from the US while Austin would like to secede from Texas. I think this shows the extreme dissatisfaction of the growing general public with the current system and those who understand the US constitution want to break away from Washington and be allowed to operate their state for their constituents and away from left-wing idiots.

The counties who wish to form their own state represents the rural areas and want to fight in order to preserve their way of life, which given the abuse of freedom as well as the US constitution over the last five years makes perfect sense. I applaud the people who have created the idea, fight for it and stand up for it as well as those who support it.

Weld county commissioners Sean Conway, Mike Freeman and Douglas Rademacher are leading the secession coalition and want to put secession on a ballot so voters can decide if they are on board with secession and in order for the process to move forward. US Representative Cory Gardner, a Colorado Republican, also support the coalition. After voters agree on secession from Colorado, the Colorado General Assembly needs to agree on it and give the counties the green light. The final hurdle lies within the US Congress and their final approval.

The process is lengthy and most think impossible to achieve, but the coalition is already mapping the borders of the new state and are 100% serious about this matter. I can only hope for the citizens of the counties who want to do the right thing for them and their lifestyles that they actually secede from Colorado.

I will continue to follow the developments out of Colorado, more out of personal interest than business interest as it will not have any impact on forex markets. I think over the next decade we will see more and more secession talks and the eventual break-up of the US as we know it now. At that point forex markets will take note as we may see a complete split of the US over the next three decades into multiple independent countries.
