I find it interesting that he dismisses Webb's The-Great-Taking theory/prediction. I can't be so blase about it - Webb points to various changes in states Commercial Codes to enable exactly that; and there seems to be little other reasons.

AND...this guy's primary argument for NOT getting actual stawk certificates is, it makes it harder to quickly sell. To day-trade, IOW. To churn.

That's not the talk of an investor. That's the outlook of someone gaming the chaos of the market to pocket a little more fiat. That's exactly what is wrong with the market.

If there's a gain in the stawk price...SUPPORTED by FUNDAMENTAL VALUE...it won't disappear in minutes. If the stawk is being manipulated into collapse by a Soros-like villain, it would help to be able to quickly sell. But you will not know this until much later, unless you have inside information.

The voice I heard, after listening to this guy awhile, was that of the Broker-Parrot: BUY STAWKSSS! And don't worry, it's all fine. You'll make more fiat....
 

Russia's alleged hybrid warfare targeting seafloor cables vital to modern life​

London — Over 95% percent of the world's internet traffic and voice and communication data flows through a vast network of fiber optic cables laid across the floors of oceans and seas. The cables are faster, more reliable and cheaper data carriers than alternatives such as satellites, and they have become indispensable to modern life.

They are the veins and arteries that link our deeply interconnected world, transmitting data for everything from sensitive government and military information and text messages between friends, to trillions of dollars worth of financial transactions every day, underpinning the global economy.

But our reliance on these undersea cables is a vulnerability, and one that rogue actors have allegedly already tried to exploit, including some adversaries of the United States.

Ship seized in Finland suspected of cable damage was carrying sanctioned Russian steel​

Countries in the Baltic Sea region have been on high alert following a string of incidents which saw undersea power cables, telecoms links and gas pipelines damaged.​

A vessel seized in Finland suspected of damaging an undersea telecommunications cable between Helsinki and Tallinn was transporting Russian steel subject to European Union sanctions, Finnish customs officials said on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Finnish police detained the Fitburg, a 132-metre-long cargo ship en route from St Petersburg in Russia to the Israeli port of Haifa.

Its 14 crew members were also detained following suspicion the ship's anchor had damaged the telecoms cable in the Gulf of Finland.
