  • Caitlin is not happy, she just got screwed by the hurricane.

  • I do not understand why Caitlin would not buy shares from the stock market rather than buy it from Sam.

  • The fact that this is noticed in the Bilble is a proof that this human behavior and these structures are very old, in fact there are the dark side of human nature. I don´t believe in Angels, and there will be no angels saving us, because the actual situation is the fault of all of us. And WE have the pover to change it, not some Angels. Those who wrote the Bible and oher religius books where no Gods but people knowing a lot about human nature like those dominating Wall street today :-)

  • @tensorprodukt The bank bail out is in the bible. Jeremiah 51:39 in their heet I will make a feast for them that they are drunken then shout with laughter then sleep and never wake. Lindsey Williams on the Alex Jones show says the Elite are laughing at us. Then came the occupy Wallstreet. Have you noticed that the prices of gold and silver went down during the protest? They are terrified that people are going to wake up. Habakkuk 2:6-8 will not your debtors arise? Then you will be their victim.

  • Raise up a banner and publish among the nations Babylon(Wallstreet banks and corporations) is captured. Come out of her, utter it to the ends of the earth did he not leaad them through the deserts and give them water from the rock?(jeremiah 50:2, Isaiah 48:20-21) Rev18:4 come out of her so you do not share in her sins or partake in her plagues. Jeremiah 50:38 there is a drought upon her waters it is the land of graven images for they have gone mad upon their idols.

  • @tensorprodukt I think their weekness is that noone understands they dont see. So the bible reveals that there is an angel of light that comes down and lightens the earth and the angel cires out saying Fallen fallen is Babylon which is the banks and corporations. the Elite are terrified that the people will wake up. Jer51:17 every man is brutish by his knowledge every banker is ashamed of the graven image for they are a fraud and objects of mockery. Mystery Babylon Finally Revealed Jeremiah 50:2

  • So to escape from alcatraz you have to fully understand it. little Protests will I think only result in Repression, if the the biggest part humaninity is not aware of this. we will have the power to put and end to it the day that we stop watching stupid TV programs and eat fast food and accept to work for little money...

  • @genesistwoeighteen I fully agree with you but I think that to beat this enemy we have to get a full understanding of the Mechanism, and search for its weaknesses. I is the nature of some people (if not of all) o try to dominate others , and to start thinking that they are more important and that their piont of view is the truth. And once they are on top they become blinded by their Power.

  • @tensorprodukt Lie=paper=inflation=poverty=ri­ches for the money masters=people waking up and demanding real gold and silver and not worthless paper.

  • @genesistwoeighteen

    no cause caitlin got her shares when she asked for them at $10.

  • hmmm This explanation is inomplete i think because you are not selling to one person but you are throwing the shares on the market. Thus influencing the Price! and in the case of Nacked short selling you create virtual price decline because you are selling things that are not part of he market capitalisation. so a priori you are creating a false influence on the price.

  • isnt sam giving a depreciated stock that was worth 1000 and now only worth 500?
