So I recently bought a stuffed toy cow for my dog at a yard sale. It’s absolutely adorable but whenever I look at it… it seems familiar. Well turns out I wrote a fic about it LOL! I wrote this back in 2019 and never shared it, and I actually have several other fics from this verse that I never shared, so I’m sharing one now! Please enjoy 😊

This is a Tumbleweed Tale from my Boots ‘Verse.

More info about the verse HERE

Characters: Jacey, Jensen, & Dixie. Others mentioned

Summary: A lovey goes MIA.

Word Count: 1,265

Warnings: slightly angst I guess? Language, Not much else.

:readmore:

The screaming is driving me crazy and worsening my headache that has started as a result. It’s been two and a half hours and there is no sign of it stopping anytime soon. As long as it’s gone she’s gonna scream. And it’s not a tantrum, she is genuinely distraught and I understand, but she needs to calm down or she’s gonna make herself sick. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I should probably explain….

Each of the kids has a “lovey” - a special stuffed animal that was given to them at birth by Nana and Papa, and just naturally became a security object. Dallas has a Bunny, Walker has a dog, Wade & Weston have elephants, and Daisy’s is a lamb.

Each kid also has a different level of attachment to their loveys. For example they all sleep with it every night. Walker and Wade will carry theirs around the house, mostly to the living room on movie nights. Dallas and Weston aren’t attached as much and their loveys always stay in their room. Daisy carries hers all over the house, but she’s 2 and doesn’t leave the house much.

Then there’s Dixie. Dixie’s lovey is a cow, affectionately named Moo-Moo, and it goes everywhere with her.

Literally. Everywhere.

She sleeps with it, eats with it, plays with it, and it sits on the counter when she takes a bath. It goes outside to play, to ballet, karate, and even to kindergarten- kept safe in her backpack.

I have to sneak it away when she’s asleep so I can wash it, because it has to be with her at all times, even if it’s just her bag. Dixie and Moo-Moo are inseparable and if they aren’t together then it’s defcon one! A nuclear missile is headed your way. The world is ending!

Which brings us back to the current situation in which Dixie has been screaming and sobbing uncontrollably for going on 3 hours.

Moo-Moo is missing.

When we get home from school, the kids get out their homework while I Prepare a snack. Then we all sit at the table together and complete it before practices, recitals, and games.

Well today, when Dixie got to the table and proceeded to get her homework and her lovey from her bag, Moo-Moo wasn’t there, and panic ensued.

We checked her bags, nothing.

We checked the car, nothing.

We checked her room, nothing.

We checked the entire house, nothing.

We even checked the yard, garage, and barn, still nothing.

My daughter is sobbing and I can’t do anything about it but hold her and promise that we will find her Moo-Moo. While silently praying that it’s a promise I can keep.

Jay returns from checking the playground at the school. Unfortunately the building was already locked up so he couldn’t search her classroom.

Dixie runs into his arms with her red rimmed eyes and a tear stained face and asks “Daddy did you find her?”

My heart breaks for her all over again.

Jay squeezes her tight before he responds, “I’m sorry baby girl, I didn’t. The school was already closed.”

She starts crying anew and Jay just holds her. It’s really all we can do at this point, at least until morning.

Dinner is a somber affair, Dixie just picks at her food and scoots it around her plate, while sniffling.

“Dixie baby, you need to eat honey” I encourage softly, she responds by putting a solitary green bean in her mouth and chewing slowly. Jay and I lock eyes across the table, silently agreeing that we won’t push her to eat.

The bedtime routine isn’t much better, but baths and teeth brushing are completed. The screaming has stopped but in its place tears just silently stream down her pink flushed cheeks.

I put Dixie in bed with us and sandwich her between me and Jensen. We both know she won’t sleep- that she’ll fight it until the exhaustion wins over and she can’t fight anymore, but she needs some extra attention. Our normally loud, fierce, little firecracker is quiet,sad, and subdued so Mama and Daddy snuggles are in store.

💜💜💜💜💜

The alarm beeps at 6am and I swing my arm down on the snooze button without opening my eyes. After fighting to stay awake, Dixie finally succumbed to sleep around 2:30. So to little girls who’s bedtime is 8:30 and a Mama and Daddy who are normally in bed by 10:30, the morning is not a welcome affair!

The damn thing buzzes again at 6:05 and I can feel Jay shift to sitting up.

“Darlin’? C’mon we gotta get up”

“Ugggggh”

“Need to get the tumbleweeds fed’n off to school honey”

“I knooooow” I respond, sitting up and jutting my lip out to pout at my husband. He just chuckles, he knows I’m not a morning person.

It’s slow going but we manage to get everyone dressed, fed, and in the car. Jay heads to work and I drive the kids to school. There’s a pit in my stomach as I park the car and the kids start to unload, because this is our last chance and if Moo-Moo isn’t in the school building I don’t know what we’re gonna do.

Dallas and Walker head to their classrooms, and I drop the twins at the preschool, so with Daisy on my hip I then take Dixie’s hand and we walk to her class. I can feel her hesitation as we approach the door, seeing my daughter so out of character just crushes me, I squeeze her hand for reassurance as we go in. She walks to her cubby, and there’s nothing. No Moo-Moo. The tears start falling again and now there are tears in my eyes. I squat down and open my arms to envelope her in a giant hug, at the same time that Miss Maison, her teacher, approaches us.

“Everything alright over here?” She asks softly. She can see the tears in Dixie’s eyes.

I shake my head in the negative.

“Actually no. Dixie’s lovey Moo-Moo has gone missing and this was the last place we had to check”

She smiles reassuringly and turns to her desk.

“Is this who your looking for?” She asks and both Dixie and I turn abruptly to face her. There on the desk is the beloved stuffed cow!

“MOO-MOO!” Dixie shouts and runs to the spot scooping the lovey into her arms and squeezing tight.

“I found her on the floor of the cubby room this morning” Miss Maison says “ she must have fallen from your backpack when you put your books inside”.

Personally, I don’t care what happened, I’m just happy we found it! I quickly pull my phone out and text my husband, We got her!

I can see Dixie yawning already, so I decide then to take her back home. She had a rough night and frankly I don’t want that damn cow out of my sight!

Dixie fell asleep in the car on the ride home, so I know it was best to keep her. All is well again with my little family, order has been restored! And as for Moo-Moo? Let’s just say she now has a permanent “leash” that gets tethered to Dixie’s bags or the belt loop of her jeans when she’s out of the house. I’m not gonna risk another instance where Moo-Moo goes missing!

[things2mustdo]

In a previous article I discussed the possibilities of increasing your safety online by using measures such as encryption, VPN and Tor. Nonetheless I did not cover all possibilities and most importantly it was a practical discussion rather than a theoretical one. This article will be a theoretical dissection of online anonymity tools and their weaknesses.

Why do people get caught despite using Tor? Can anyone be truly anonymous online ?

This article will be a summary of the work of Tom Ritter, presented at DEFCON 21, the annual hacker conference. His video presentation can be viewed here and the printed version of his article here.

While doing a great Job, Tom’s work is heavy on tech jargon and might confuse laymen. So I will summarize his work and explain the strengths and weaknesses of modern anonymity tools. His work was published in 2013, but remains relevant today as well.

In his work Tom talks about 4 anonymity technologies : SSL, Tor, Remailers and Shared Mailboxes. Let’s discuss them one by one.

SSL

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer and is a common online security standard used by the likes of Facebook and other major websites. The way SSL works is that it creates an encrypted tunnel of communication between 2 parties so that third parties cannot read the messages they are sending to each other. Despite being secure on paper, it can be circumvented rather easily. To understand how, first we must talk about metadata.

Metadata

Metadata is data that describes other data. For example, library cards which hold the name of the book, its publishing date and its location in the library is a form of metadata. Metadata is also used in IT.

An example of metadata is the EXIF file in photos. When you take a photo with a camera you not only register the photo, but usually your device also adds extra info such as the date the photo was taken, the GPS location, phone brand, etc. and stores it in the photo file.

Other form of metadata is not registered but can be inferred. For example, someone created a program that can discover which parts of Google maps you are looking at based on the size of map tiles you are downloading.

When you are using SSL you are unwillingly lending third parties metadata which can lead to your discovery, particularly the time the message was sent and the size of your messages.

This allows for attackers to do something called a correlation attack.

Correlation attacks are primarily of 2 types : Time-based attacks and Size-based attacks

Time-based attack

In order to perform a time-based attack a party sends a message in an encrypted stream, then it looks at who receives the message. Since SSL communication is instantaneous, you can easily infer who is behind the SSL stream. The third party sends a message at 15:59 and whoever happens to get the message right afterwards must be the person they are looking for.

This type of attack was used against the person who dumped Stratfor mailpools. The way it worked is that government analyzed the time he was logging in on the internet and noticed it coincided with the time the person they suspected logged on to a secret chat through Tor. Not only that, rumor has it the government cut electricity to his house at a certain hour and noticed that the user of the secret chat logged out at the same time. The coincidences were too much, so he got caught.

Size-based attack

In order to perform a size-based attack, the third party sends a file of an unusual size, and then whoever receives the file must be the person they are looking for. Since most people on Facebook send small messages to each other, one only needs to send a very large message and see who happens to receive a message of that size afterwards.

As you can see correlation attacks render you vulnerable if you use SSL as your only line of defense. The reason is because the Third Party can not see WHAT you are sending, but they know that you ARE sending something, WHEN you do it and HOW BIG is the file. 

Ideally they should not even know you are communicating with anything at all. So, let’s see what other technologies have to offer.

Tor

Tor is a custom browser based on Firefox with extensions that works on the principle of connecting to a few nodes so that when you look at a website the only thing the website can see is the last node you traveled through and on the opposite side your ISP (Internet Service Provider ) can only see your first node, not the whole route.

This is already getting better. However it does not add that much anonymity since now third parties do not know WHO is communicating, but they can still see that it DOES happen, WHEN it happens and HOW BIG the size of messages are.

Not only that, but there are known vulnerabilities, particularly of 3 types.

You are viewing a website in the country you are in.

This allows advanced opponents calculate that it was YOU who was using Tor. It is difficult, but not impossible. This is bad news since a lot of people from US view websites stored in US. And so do dissidents from China or Iran.

Every single node you pass through is compromised

In my previous article I mentioned that the government can set up Tor nodes that they monitor. But to successfully pull an attack they would have to monitor EVERY node you go through.

This requires NWO level trickery, but again, we already have examples of this happening already with VPN agreements. Countries in the Anglosphere have an agreement to give away information regarding VPN usage by suspects from respective countries. This agreements is called Five Eyes. I wouldn’t be surprised if a similar thing is organized regarding Tor nodes.

Passive traffic analysis

Although not mentioned by Ritter in his presentation, it is common knowledge that an opponent with a lot of resources, mostly governments, could analyze the whole network and correlate patterns to discover who is viewing a certain website or communicating with someone.

To give an analogy, it would be like the police heavily patrolling every single street in a city and every single car , so that even if your car had fake plates they could notice patterns and discover its owner.

The problem is, this approach can create false positives, with a 10% chance of error, which is why these analyses are not accepted in court as proof. But you can rest sure if such an analysis points to you, you will be put under further investigation and it only gets worse from there.

So what can be used to further aid us ?

Remailers

Remailers are an interesting concept. The way they work is that people pool their mail messages on a server, after which some time passes and all mails are sent simultaneously at the same time.

This is supposed to protect from Time and Size based correlation attacks.

The problem here is that it still allows third parties to see that you ARE sending a message, WHEN you sent it and HOW BIG it was. But they can’t see the other end. For the receiver, he has the same problem. Third parties can’t know WHO he got the message from, but they can still see WHEN he receives it from the remailer and HOW BIG it is.

On top of that, for Remailers to work lots of people have to use them at the same time. Otherwise if there are few users, an enemy can still use size-based correlation attacks.

It’s hard to use size-based attacks when thousands of people are sending messages of various sizes, but if only three people at one time are using a Remailer, then it is very easy to do a size-based attack.

Shared mailbox

Shared mailboxes are the most out-of-the-box anonymous solution.

The way a shared mailbox works is that users share a mailbox. They cannot delete messages from it, but can only add encrypted messages to it. And when they want to check if they received a message they download all messages and use their key and try to decrypt the header of all of them and see if any of the messages belong to him.

It is a resource-tedious process, but it offers a great payoff. For the receiver this is great because when he downloads the whole mailbox third parties can’t know if he received a message, maybe he did, or maybe he didn’t. For the sender however, the equation stays the same as before.

This is for the moment the most powerful anonymity solution out there. However it has a few issues. In order to use alt.anonymous.message (the shared inbox) you need to have some degree of technical skill, and user inexperience leads to issues.

In order to be easier to use alt.anonymous.message allows the use of nymservers. Nymservers act as regular mail addresses, which when sent to, automatically post them to alt.anonymous.message .

There are however issues with AAM and Nymservers.

1. Poor network diversity

The number one issue is there are currently two main node operators: Zax and Dizzum, which are responsible for the trafficking of messages to alt.anonymous.message. If both were to retire or be arrested it would the death of alt.anonymous.message. As you can see, network diversity is horrible.

2. Poor encryption used on messages

Another issue is the type of encryption used. Some messages used the outdated MD5 encryption standard which is easy to crack.

Also, the title of messages are encrypted less strongly in order to be able to determine quickly which belong to you and which don’t. Subjects can be encrypted using either hsubs or esubs. Esubs is an older and stronger standard, but hsubs have grown in popularity in recent years.

3. Pattern analysis due to use of same subject line and same remailers

A lot of messages use the same subject over and over, people tend to reply to a particular subject. On top of that most people also usually use the same remailer over and over, you can start noticing communication patterns :

4. Custom Remailer command errors

There are different type of remailers. The old school one was called Type 1 and lives on in the protocol of Mixmaster. It allows a lot of customizing options for the header. The users often screwed up the name of the command, which ended in the title of a message.

For example if you write “X-No-Archive Hello Friend” it would turn into “Hello Friend” and the X-No-archive would be interpreted as a command to not archive. But if you wrote “no-archive-x Hello Friend” you messed up so the title would become “no-archive-x Hello Friend”. If you do this multiple times, you would be identified as a unique user since your titles would all contain “no-archive-x” or uncapitalized “x-no-archive” or whatever other combination of mispelled commands you use.

Since most people used the same commands over and over and did the same mistakes they became quickly identifiable as unique users.

5. Imperfect Remailers

There are different types of remailers. Currently there are two types of remailers in use, MixMaster and MixMinion. MixMinion has certain advantages over MixMaster. But both suffer from certain problems.

6. Nymservers which do not protect from size-based correlation attacks

Nymservers themselves have problems. Zax’s Nymserver is instantaneous which allows for size-based correlation attacks. However even Type 1 Nymservers (older ones) which are not always instantaneous still allow for size-based correlation attacks given a bit of perspicacity.

Therefore we identified main issues with AAM (alt.anonymous.message):

1) Giving users options allows for segregation and profiling 2) Some encryption is weak 3) It can be complicated to use and allows for beginner mistakes 4) Weak network diversity

Nonetheless, Ritter identified the most secure way of using AAM :

1) Use a strong passphrase and hsub 2) Use Type 3 PGP packet (Key Stretching) 3) Use Remailers 4) Do not use extra headers or options

The issue here is that if you do it properly you will still be part of a small community of people doing so (around 500 – 1500 people), which will make you looks suspicious and will cause the government to look closer into you and maybe add you to a database.

Solutions of the future

Pynchon gate

Pynchon Gate is a project meant to replace shared mailboxes. It uses Private Information Retrieval. It exposes less meta-data, scales better and resists flooding and size-based attacks. However it is currently work in progress

Improved Remailers

MixMinion is currently the best remailer protocol and as such should be used as a basis for future improvement. Planned improvements include things such as improving TLS settings and moving to a new packet format.

What is currently lacking

As of right now, what is lacking is some tech that could be used to anonymously share large files. AAM and such are low bandwidth, which means it can only be used to share small files like text messages.

A new service needs to be created to cover this niche. In the words of Tom Ritter :

But what I keep coming back to is the fact that we have no anonymity network that is high bandwidth, high latency. We have no anonymity network that would have let someone securely share the Collateral Murder video, without Wikileaks being their proxy. You can’t take a video of corruption or police brutality, and post it anonymously.

Now I hear you arguing with me in your heads: Use Tor and upload it to Youtube. No, youtube will take it down. Use Tor and upload it to MEGA, or some site that will fight fradulent takedown notices. Okay, but now you’re relying on the good graces of some third party. A third party that is known to host the video, and can be sued. Wikileaks was the last organization that was willing to take on that legal fight, and now they are no longer in the business of hosting content for normal people.

And you can say Hidden Service and I’ll point to size-based traffic analysis and confirmation attacks that come with a low-latency network, never mind Ralf-Phillip Weinmen’s amazing work the other month that really killed Hidden Services. We can go on and on like this, but I hope you’ll at least concede the point that what you are coming up with are work-arounds for a problem that we lack a good solution to.

Conclusions

As we can see true anonymity online is non-existent. At the very least, third parties can collect meta-data on you and use correlation attacks, when ideally they shouldn’t even know you are communicating at all. Moreover, even strong anonymity tools like Tor have shown to have known vulnerabilities.

However, what matters is not whether something is vulnerable in theory, but rather does it keep you safe in practice? And so far, the tools we have at our disposal are pretty powerful.

As I have mentioned in my previous article, using TailsOS off a flash stick in a public wi-fi area with no cameras + VPN/Tor seems to be the best solution for now.

The testament to the power of anonymity tools is that pedophile rings and drug dealers have managed to escape persecution by multiple world governments to this day using them.

And that’s what I will talk about in my next article. We will analyze the electronic operational security of pedophile rings and how one infamous one managed to escape unscathed after years of being searched. Stay tuned.

[herokamijoutouma]

Muse Info (Updated)

Name: Kamijou Touma (Touma Kamijou)

Age: 16-19 (Verse dependent)

Gender: Male

Height; 168 cm (5'6")

Bio

Touma is a first-year highschool student who is a resident of Academy City, designated as a Level 0. He possesses the mysterious “Imagine Breaker” in his right hand, which is capable of negating all forms of magic, esper powers, and other divine abilities. This, according to some, even includes his own good luck, as they are the blessings of God. He has a very strong desire to aid all those who are in need even if it means putting his life on the line and will not hesitate to challenge an opponent who is several times more powerful than himself. Because of his willingness to help others unconditionally, he has attracted the affections of many characters in his adventures.

Personality & Character

Touma is the type that acts before he thinks. He can never just sit around upon seeing someone in a pinch and will go to great lengths to protect or help the person. This he does at great risk to himself, which typically results in him being hospitalized for several days after each confrontation. When fighting seriously against a particularly strong opponent, Touma will usually first declare that he’ll “destroy that illusion” of theirs, before actually engaging. When asked about the reason why he saves people, he answered: “I don’t need a reason to save someone”. Even when he is in a blank slate after losing his memories, Touma still displays this personality.

Despite his righteous and heroic personality, Touma occasionally displays poor choice of words which results in him getting bitten by Index, having bolts of lightning thrown by Misaka Mikoto, and creating misunderstandings with the other girls he encounters.

Powers & Abilities

Touma’s ability is Imagine Breaker (幻想殺しイマジンブレイカー Gensō Goroshi (Imajin Bureikā)?, lit. “Illusion Killer”), a mysterious power that resides in his right hand that he has had since birth. It is able to negate all supernatural powers including magic, esper, and divine powers, the last of these demonstrated by Archangel Gabriel’s fear of touching him. It is also speculated by Index that it negates the divine protection of God and his blessing, as well as the red string of fate. Touma is the current holder of the Imagine Breaker, and the mysterious power itself has a preference to Touma being its bearer, as there is meaning in Touma having it in his right hand, or in Fiamma’s own words: “the right hand is only the right hand when it is growing from his right shoulder.” According to Othinus, Touma’s knack for escaping dangerous situations through external factors and his inability to die is a form of misfortune as well, and she refers to it as the “greatest of all [his] misfortunes”.

Since it is not an esper power, the people testing esper abilities cannot detect or properly classify it, so he was classified as Level 0 as he has nevertheless passed through the Power Curriculum Program. As such, Aleister Crowley considers him neither an esper nor a magician but rather a normal person with a unique ability. This gray area allows Touma to participate and get involved in the intrigue of the other side without causing a political backlash for technically being part of the Science Side.

There are many unknowns regarding Touma’s power, and many are the speculations of the true extent and form of his power. Terra of the Left hinted that Imagine Breaker might extend itself further away from its bearer's right hand, based on Terra's personal knowledge of Fiamma of the Right's Holy Right ability. Ollerus stated that Imagine Breaker is the reference point of the world, bringing the world back to normal when it is distorted. It appears that Touma might not be capable of negating all "artificial" supernatural abilities. Tsuchimikado Motoharu is convinced that there are things that Touma's Imagine Breaker cannot destroy, including ley lines or a person's life force from which a magician's mana is produced, as evidenced by the fact Touma hasn't killed someone through a simple handshake. This claim is corroborated by Leivinia Birdway, stating that although Imagine Breaker works exceedingly well when it is normalizing abnormal values, it does not show much power when dealing with something that is uniform from the start.  Because of this, if a supernatural power/object is sufficiently powerful or massive enough in size it will not be completely negated right away, as shown by the examples of Dragon's Breath, Innocentius,  Accelerator's Black Wings,and others.  To compensate for this glaring weakness, Touma has realized that he need not negate but simply cast it aside, disrupting it so to speak. It is during the state where he cannot negate it completely that Touma can physically touch or grab the power, disrupting it instead of instantly destroying it. This is exemplified during Touma's fight with Accelerator in Russia, in which he pulled one of Accelerator's black wings to throw him off balance and dodge his attack. That single touch was capable of negating the vector-controlling power of said wing as well

Beyond the Right Hand 

Aleister Crowley has also gained interest in Touma's power and integrated it into his plans, and from his comments to Heaven Canceller it's likely that he arranged the events that led to Touma being sent to Academy City by Kamijou Touya, which resulted in the birth of Kazakiri Hyouka out of fear of the Imagine Breaker. Aleister has monitored Touma's danger level to Academy City and labelled it equivalent to DEFCON 3, and found that Imagine Breaker can affect 97% of his plans. It is unknown what the true extent of Aleister's plans for Imagine Breaker are, but he has stated that his plans are similar to Fiamma's, only in a different format: to change the world by preparing a temple filled with strange power, drawing out the power of the right arm within that temple, and adjusting the thickness of the phase itself with that power. He told Fiamma of the Right that if Fiamma looked at it in a different viewpoint, he should be able to understand the true nature of that power, and if he did, he would have reached his goal before Aleister could.

When Fiamma severed Touma's right arm along with the Imagine Breaker in order to absorb that power into himself, an "invisible thing" gathered on Touma's right shoulder which made all that Fiamma had pale in comparison. Touma unexpectedly crushed that power with an even greater power and then took back the Imagine Breaker. Though the true nature of these powers is unclear, Touma is shown to be able to communicate with the "invisible thing", referring to the power as "you" before refusing to use its power, crushing it and regenerating his lost right arm.

After Fiamma's right arm was severed by Aleister, it was confirmed there is more to Touma's right hand than just "a right hand that can negate supernatural ability". Touma's right hand is a vessel that can be used to house a greater power, and this is the main reason why Aleister and Fiamma seek Touma's right hand, not for Imagine Breaker.

While attempting to stop the Level 6 Shift attempt on Misaka Mikoto, when Eight Dragons emerge from Kamijou Touma's severed right arm, Touma attempted to negate Mikoto's attack, but it was too powerful and his right arm was blown off. Eight dragons, including the same dragon from the fight against Aureolus Izzard, then emerged and devoured the attack, returning Mikoto to normal. His arm reappeared shortly after without any help, to the confusion of Mikoto.

When Touma and Kamisato Kakeru clashed with their respective right hands, Kakeru's World Rejector severed Touma's right arm and sent it to another world. This caused something to emerge and badly injure Kakeru. The entity then disappeared and Touma's right arm regenerated. Kakeru believes that this is due to World Rejector not erasing everything at the same time, but rather working from the outside in. As a result, it erased Imagine Breaker but there was a slight time lag afterwards, allowing the entity within to attack him.  Touma, on the other hand, is less certain. He believes that the entity that could defeat World Rejector cannot be the same as the one that was easily crushed by Magic God Othinus (Magic Gods being easily erased by World Rejector) He thus wonders if there are multiple entities inside him. 

During the events surrounding the Ceremony of Mo Athair, in which Touma was severely injured and had his arm severed multiple times (once by Aleister using the A.A.A.'s chainsaw so healing magic could be used to save his life and then by Coronzon's Secret Call sent through the unguarded A.A.A. in a surprise attack from behind), the lock on the entity lurking behind Imagine Breaker was broken. After the initial explosion, as a result of the accumulated damage and Touma's own regrets, the emanating power took on Touma's identity, taking much of the overall power and Imagine Breaker with it. Until the lost powers were reclaimed, the remaining power left within Touma took the form of a sky-blue right arm, which could unravel and surround him in the form of a dragon.

Verses

A Certain Unknown Imagine Breaker (Main Verse AU)

Originally called A Certain Illusion Killer, this verse takes place primarily in the Raildex Universe, but diverges heavily from Canon after the Magic Gods arc in New Testament. Arcs for this verse are in development. New characters appearing in this are mainly OC’s although Raildex versions of other characters can appear in this as well. Main arcs so far are the Lawain Incursion Arc, Lioness Arc, The Order of Camelot Arc, The New World Order Arc, and the Xindi Collective Arc.

A Certain Distorted Singularity (Fate Verse)

After a series of unexpected events, Touma is dragged into a Singularity in which the Chaleda Security Organization moves in to stop. After resolving the incident, Touma is brought in as a freelancer of sorts to help Chaldea whenever they need his assistance. He gets along fairly well with the Master and most of the staff, however, most servants are cautious around him due to the nature of Imagine Breaker. This vague cautiousness remains even after they have accepted him as a trust worthy ally.

Because of the danger of Touma accidently negating a servant out of existence, he wears a shroud around his right hand which suppresses Imagine Breaker’s affects.

A Certain Song That Destroys Illusions (Symphogear verse)

Following his antics with Academy City’s Number 3 Level 5, Misaka Mikoto, Kamijou Touma is somehow transported to another version of Earth where the moon has a huge creator on its surface and rings. He is caught up in an attack by the Alca-Noise and winds up meeting the wielder of Gungnir, Tachibana Hibiki. Touma is then introduced to S.O.N.G and the other gear wielders and decides to help them in their battles against the Alca-Noise and the forces that controls them —- while also looking for a way to return to his earth.

A Wish That Destroys Illusions (Dragon Ball Verse)

After an experiment to detect other worlds caused by the Kiharas goes awry, Academy City is transported to the Earth in the Dragon Ball Universe.There, Touma must contend with beings far stronger than he has ever faced previously. Eventually, he meets a certain Saiyan who has saved the universe many times who then trains Touma to properly contend with the threats their earth and Academy City now faces.   Touma is not able to reach the level of the Saiyans and is still an amateur as a fighter, however, his imagine breaker gives him an advantage over his enemies which allows him to negate Ki attacks and Ki fields.

Week 8 vs. Jacksonville

The Press w/ Chris[tian] & Spense[r] Week 8 - vs. Jacksonville Well, I’m not quite ready to say there’s some sort of DEFCON level of tension surrounding the current position the Seattle organization finds itself in, but I’m starting to look for whatever button you press to indicate as such. Things aren’t good. This team cannot get a break unless it’s Russell’s middle finger; a fitting omen. The path to the 7th seed still exists, but our future is no longer in our hands. This is the first real dark time in a decade. Let’s breathe. Stay Neutral. The Best Is Ahead. I don’t have much analysis other than the above. We will have no desire to remember this stretch of games unless we end the year with a Super Bowl appearance. The defense is stepping up, but this team isn’t going anywhere without Russell Wilson. It’s that simple. Seattle is (2-5) and needs to go (8-2) if they want to have a shot at the postseason. Beating Jacksonville is, quite literally, the least this team can do to keep the season alive. A loss here, and it’s over. Why Not Us? -C

We’re at defcon 4.5. I’ll say it. It’s what everyone’s thinking, it’s at 4.5 right now. Defense is growing just like last year, offense is struggling, special teams are up and down. Hawks have the better players, and we need those guys to make big plays. Geno needs the better players to make better plays, and our season might end up coming down it. But as Chris noted, who know’s... the best is ahead. Hawks win 23 - 17, Adams with the sack, DK with the score. I go 3-0 this week by default. Yay.

The third world war begins: Iran struck at US bases

A few minutes ago, the first messages appeared on the social networks of the Middle East, according to which the Ain al-Assad American air base in Iraq was rocketed, in the area of ​​which 6 missiles launched by Iranian proxies fell. This was followed by reports that American targets in the Iraqi city of Erbil were subjected to a similar attack. But a few minutes later there were reports that the number of new missiles fired at the Ain al-Assad airbase was already in the tens, that missile salvos were observed all over the country and that some missiles were fired even from Iran! #BREAKING: Video reportedly shows moment of ballistic missile launches in Iran pic.twitter.com/El97t83xVU - ELINT News (@ELINTNews) January 7, 2020 Alleged video showing missiles in the air from the town of Borujerd pic.twitter.com/gM4HtXvcHO - Wladimir (@vvanwilgenburg) January 7, 2020 At the moment, information is collected, updated and verified. And if everything is confirmed, then, one must assume, the Third World War begins. Keep up for updates. UPDATE # 1 Baghdad residents report that they haven’t heard such a rumble around since 2003 - there are a lot of missiles around. Iraqis (probably soldiers) cheering as the US anti missile system intercepts Iranian ballistic missiles over #Iraq’S Ain al-Assad military base. pic.twitter.com/ttbtTciXCF - Baxtiyar Goran (@BaxtiyarGoran) January 7, 2020 Donald Trump holds an emergency meeting with the military. It is reported that American fighter jets took off from the airbases of the United Arab Emirates. UPDATE No. 2 Pentagon officially confirms that US targets were attacked by medium-range missiles fired from Iran. The number of victims is unknown. At the Ain al-Assad air base, the figure is up to 80 wounded and killed. Iran also officially confirms that “dozens of missiles” were fired from its territory, calling it Operation Martyr Soleimani, that is, “Operation Martyr Suleimani.” UPDATE No. 3 Photos and videos of the attack on Ain al-Assad airbase: Photo reportedly portraying Ain Al Assad Airbase in the distance currently. #Iraq #Iran #US pic.twitter.com/UbknEIIhXm - Aurora Intel (@AuroraIntel) January 8, 2020 #BREAKING: First video showing a Fateh-110 precision guided ballistic missile of #IRGC hitting the Ain al-Asad Air Base in #Iraq during operation #Soleimani of #IRGCASF.#IRGC sources claim they have destroyed several #USArmy helicopters & drones & have killed 80 #US troops there! pic.twitter.com/tnOmP4srvC - Babak Taghvaee (@BabakTaghvaee) January 8, 2020 UPDATE No. 4 Iran has implemented a video with the launch of rockets: Update: Iranian TV airs footage showing dozens of ballistic missiles heading towards U.S bases in western #Iraq. pic.twitter.com/eYsqBcTZVz - News_Executive (@News_Executive) January 8, 2020 UPDATE No. 5 New video in the fall of a rocket at Ain al-Assad airbase: Unconfirmed video circulating #Iraq| i media channels reportedly showing impact of a missile on Ain Al Assad Airbase launched from #Iran against #US troops stationed there pic.twitter.com/ofAXYRF2Xd - Aurora Intel (@AuroraIntel) January 8, 2020 Iranian media write about the beginning of the second wave of attack. All US bases in the region are on high alert. Journalists who are now in the Pentagon report that the US Secretary of Defense arrived at a meeting with some very large and unusual case. It is possible that we are talking about a “nuclear suitcase”. UPDATE No. 6 Photos of the remains of Iranian missiles that fell in Erbil:

The second wave of missiles launched by Iran: The US President urgently convenes Congress and prepares to address the nation. UPDATE No. 7 At the moment, there is a lull in the situation in the Middle East, but it is a lull before a huge storm. Iraq reports several damaged or destroyed shelling of American aircraft. Most likely it is transport aircraft or helicopters - the United States does not have fighters in Iraq. The Pentagon claims that, as a result of the shelling, there are no casualties among Americans. Meanwhile, several groups of aircraft left the US Air Force base in the UAE, which is a clear sign of the imminent start of a major war - aircraft are being removed from direct fire. But before Trump makes an appeal to the nation, the United States will most likely not retaliate. Although there are many reports of the huge activity of jet aircraft in Syria and over Iraq. The main readiness of the hour became the announcement in the US defense readiness defcon 2 (separate respect Phoenix for the reminder!). DEFCON 2- this is the level that precedes maximum combat readiness. It was declared during the Caribbean crisis (only for the Strategic Aviation Command - the armed forces as a whole remained at the DEFCON 3 level) and during Operation Desert Storm on January 15, 1991 (Joint Chiefs of Staff). Now, as can be seen from this information note, the crisis is now more dangerous than the Caribbean and how it will end is still unknown. UPDATE №8 During the first minutes of the development of the crisis, all the people following it asked: where is the US Federal Aviation Administration and related departments? At the time of the Iranian attack, the sky over the region was filled with passenger liners, which once again indicates which of the parties accusing each other are terrorists. And just now FAA issued an official ban flying over the entire region. Meanwhile, Iran has not received confirmed reports about the destruction of an American aircraft over the Persian Gulf, and American journalists write that Trump canceled his appeal to the nation. UPDATE No. 9 A few minutes ago Donald Trump made a Twitter post:

All is well! Missiles were fired from Iran at our two military bases deployed in Iraq. At the moment, there is an assessment of victims and damage. So far, so good! Today we have the most powerful and well-equipped military in the world! I will make my statement tomorrow morning. Formerly a CENTCOM representative told reporters that Iran fired 15 missiles from its territory: 10 hit Al-Assad airbase west of Baghdad, one fell on Erbil in northern Iraq, four more hit anywhere. C-ram, which covered Al-Assad airbase, shot down, apparently, only one missile: Only one missile was shot-down by the #USArmy's C-RAM system. pic.twitter.com/dGzXWfBU2Z - Babak Taghvaee (@BabakTaghvaee) January 8, 2020 “Tomorrow morning” by Washington time is the afternoon of time in Europe.

I would assume they can clean the ship with something like a sonic shower, used ship wide, but if we apply lower decks canon, then its the ensigns who do all that (including the nasty jobs). Which begs the question of why, in a world where theres seemingly endless resources, cleaning would be done manually?

Maybe the amount of energy it takes to clean a whole ship using robots or sonic cleaning or whatever else is just too high, and its easier to get the crew to do it. Maybe, on the other hand, even though automatic cleaning systems would be fine, doing tasks like cleaning the ship is seen as character building/valuable in and of itself. I can see how ensigns cleaning could give them a good level of attention to detail/ camraderie/ just mean you can have more ensigns on a ship and keep them busy when its not defcon 3 (and if the current pandemic has shown one thing, its that having more peopel and more resources than you need on an average day to deal with a crisis is a good idea). 

Then again, maybe they used to have cleaning bots, but the cleaning bots developed consciousness, and chose to go live on a planet rather than serve federation overlords. Maybe the cleaning bots/sonic cleaninng would disrupt ship systems in a similar way to mobile phones. Maybe theres a certain level of sonic cleaning which is safe, but ship wide it could cause health problems (or maybe some species who work in the federation cannot interact with sonic cleaning waves safely).

This is all assuming that lower decks canon can be applied to other star trek, of course.

i’m very new to star trek (started tng weeks ago) but i desperately need to know: who cleans the carpets on a starship? is there a space janitor? please i’m dying.

Welcome to the fandom, my friend!

I don’t think it’s entirely established, but there’s a mention at some point about how the ship “cleans itself”. Whatever that means.

Maybe what we think of as “carpet” is actually some sort of waste retrieval system consisting of tiny nano bots or something. I would like to think that if Riker drops some hot sauce on the floor while binge watching his Bolian soap operas (as he does), it’s sucked into the carpet and reused as matter somewhere else.

I urge everyone else to bring their own cleaning theories here.

Update #3 - I’M MOVING TO CANADA.

[From this point forward, I’m only going to be making text updates on my Tumblr - I don’t want my Youtube account cluttered with all these Update videos; esp. when my life situation is never constant and always changing.]

Hi everyone. I’ve been dead for months, and I’ve just come back to life. I think it’s about time I informed you all about my current situation: I complained many months ago about the rise of EU tyranny, and their plot to enact Article #13. Fortunately, they have been procrastinating endlessly, and it’s taken them a very long time to create their favourite pan-European hegemonic dystopia. I don’t know what’s been taking them so long, but they did not ratify the anti-copyright directive when I feared they would, though that is still no reason to be complacent about their plotting and scheming. However, in reality, the reason I have not released a single video in months is, in reality, nothing to do with the European Union. The actual truth of the matter is, I’m incredibly lazy. I would go and say that I have severe mental depression, but the truth is, I’m just lazy. It takes far too much effort for me to make the content that I want my viewers to see, so much so that I can only work at it piecemeal, day at a time. I wish I had a less chronic degree of perfectionism, and a better computer, but the situation is that I am overly fussy with what I do, and I obsess over and over again over what sort of videos I want to make, and in whatever order. In addition to all this, I have a broken brain.  When I’m making progress on a video which I imagine will please my audience, I feverishly celebrate and dance around like a lunatic. In addition, when something unpredictable in my life happens, that sucker-punches me, knocks me down and sends me into despair, I lose all energy and motivation and find myself unable to produce anything. It’s an intensely frustrating mood for me to slip into, because there’s literally nothing I can do to escape from it. To give you an idea of how much of a crazy person I am, let me tell you this: I sometimes watch my own videos over and over again, (imagining that I am somebody else watching them for the first time), and this rabid vicariousness kicks my own brain into overdrive and makes me completely unable to focus on anything else.  I get so overexcited and my adrenaline levels go through the roof that I actually move around and spazz around to the musical cues of my own videos.  When I was younger, I had a much more serious version of this, where I would wave my hands and flap them around like I was pretending to be a bird and fly. Over time, I think this waned and calmed down a bit, and what happens to me now is simply the less extreme version of this. I used to take Ritalin a few years ago, and it sort of helped... except when I discovered that it made me feel too exhausted and tired the following morning, so I decided to stop taking that. Now, because of this mental handicap as you can imagine, I make videos that are few and far between. Danganronpa is a video game series that has captured my heart so effectively, to the extent that I obsess over it so much, that the very fact that I engage with the DR fandom in this particular way infuses me with intense, electric pulses of rapturous excitement which... I would describe as unhealthy. It derails my brain and my concentration in ways that I cannot describe at all. All I can say, is that I may be slightly retarded. Or maybe I suffer from morbid, Defcon-1 Level autism. Definitely one of them. Not that I have the slightest clue what the latter is - it seems like a requirement within any esoteric video-game fandom, as I have discovered.

Anyways, apologies for the tangential rambling. I want you all to know that the EU problems I complained about months ago are not going to be a problem. And I am not talking about the recent EU election results, which I really don’t care about at this point. I mean, that I am actually moving to Canada. That’s right. On June 3rd, I will be flying over to Toronto, and living and working there for a set period of time. And, while I may not know much about Canada, or Canadian culture, I do know this: Canada is not part of the EU. I never talked about this before, but the truth is; this has always been an ambition of mine for quite a while now. I once worked abroad in the United States for a few months, and I loved it. It was an experience that really awakened me to my survival skills. Living within a house and being able to survive by my own means. Experiencing a different culture. It was something that I really wanted to try again. And I chose Canada because, it is similar to the USA. Also, there were a bunch of options on this website that offered me Gap Year work abroad stints, though this one lasted the longest.  I still haven’t decided exactly how long I plan to be staying and working there for, or even what I will be doing there. I imagine something run-of-the-mill, like hospitality work. Maybe I’ll decide when I arrive there. The way this programme works, is that I’ll be registered with the agency once I arrive there, which will give me an orientation of sorts, polish up my CV, and show me what sorts of jobs I could apply for. It’s pretty exciting, and I don’t know what kind of problems and challenges await me. I leave for Canada in 3 days. I have all the necessary materials I need to get through Customs (I hope...), but in my experience, you can never be relaxed in a situation where anything can go wrong.  I’m hoping that by the time I arrive there, I will have hopefully found a job that isn’t so exhausting that it drains all of my energy and prevents me from making videos, besides the more obvious prayers that I arrive there safely and don’t make any dumb blunders at the border like forget my passport. I can never get complacent about things like that - I am very unintelligent and always liable to making idiotic mistakes.  On another subject, I am actually working on a video right now, as well. It is a rather long one, I may add. Currently, it runs at 9 minutes. It’s a very ambitious one - purely made from sentence mixing, and it seems like I certainly lost my self in the process of its creation; it’s longer than I planned for it to be. That, added to the fact that my computer is very slow and does not like long-running projects that take up lots of space. But, when the day comes, when it is finally finished, I can promise it will be very entertaining and you shall all love it. Though, there will be an age rating. It’s not for children. Very, very disturbing. It contains lot of adult/degenerate humour, which will fill you with so much disgust and horror that you may never wish to play Danganronpa ever again. That’s all I will say about that for now. Again, I apologise for being dead. I want you all to know that I was only playing dead. When I’m working overtime on a project like this that drains all the patience and concentration out of me, I will default to being dead.  But, I’ll try not to be, in the future. - BatHunterOfDevon

Training People to Expect Reward for Outrage

By Don Hall

Cancel Culture. The Karen Phenomenon. Donald Trump’s Non-Stop Tirades About FAKE News. The Olympiad of Victim Status. Twitter Trolls. The Alt Right. The Woke.

These seemingly disconnected elements all have a very specific thread in common. They derive from the rewards given to people who complain loudly and without pause. 

Sometime in corporate culture overseeing the idea of customer service, it was decided that the customer is always right and that very powerful framework has slowly infected all aspects of our culture. 

Is this steak overcooked? Of course it is. The customer is always right.

Did I feel threatened by that black kid in the hoodie with the Skittles? Of course you did. The customer is always right.

Is asking me where I’m from racist? How could it not be racist? The customer is always right.

Is journalism that criticizes me every single day FAKE? Duh. The customer is always right.

Is suggesting that a trans woman is not a biological woman transphobic? Especially if you wrote the Harry Potter books! The customer is always right.

Anyone who has ever worked in the service industry understands what a bucket of lukewarm smegma that mantra represents. It permeates our every dealing with people. It creates a sense of entitled behavior that rewards talking over someone to get what you want and emphasizes that, in a world filled with seven billion people all moments from being crushed by an earthquake or leveled by a pandemic, we each deserve a specific kind of treatment from one another.

None of us forest apes who learned to read deserves anything. Ever. 

As the former house manager of a nationwide radio show, former manager of Chicago’s Millennium Park, and current manager in a small off-Strip casino in Las Vegas, I’m used to the drill. I have my own approach that effectively cancels cancel culture in my rooms, defangs the Karens, and ignores the cries of victimhood used to get stuff.

First, do not meet hostility with hostility. This one took me years to figure out but as soon as you react to their hostility the game is afoot. This is not the same as saying “Let them call you names and scream at you.” When I have guests hit me with DEFCON Five, I turn and walk away. Give it a beat and return. If they continue, I walk away again. I am, in effect, training them how to approach me.

He’s six foot, five inches, approximately 350 pounds. And he is furious. 

I approach him to see what he needs and he launches into a rambling “this motherfucker” and “fuck this shit” and “what the fuck is wrong with you people?”

I hold up my hand and say “I’ll be right back.” I walk away. I stop and pick up an empty beer bottle and toss it in the trash. I come back.

“What the fuck was that? You fucking with me?”

The hand goes up. “Give me one second.” I walk away. This time I go to a regular who is playing a Lightning Zone machine and chat him up for a minute. I come back.

“So what can I do for you, sir?” He starts to gin up again. The hand comes up. He stops. He has figured out the game. He thinks for a moment then speaks more calmly about the fact that his twenty dollar bill was stuck in a video poker machine. I smile, make a joke about him breaking my machines with his ill-gotten money, and open the machine up and return his twenty.

Second, do not argue. Argument indicates there is basis for their shitty behavior. Remember they are trying to get something from you. You are in control of the situation. It’s all about choices.

“This fucking face mask shit is all liberal bullshit! I can’t breathe and the only reason their making up this whole coronavirus shit is to tank the economy so Trump loses.”

“Okay. I need you to put the mask on or you’ll have to leave the casino.”

“But you see that, right? It’s all just a bunch of bullshit! It’s also un-fucking-constitutional to force me to wear a mask. It’s goddamn against my freedom of choice!”

“That aside, I need that mask on or you gotta walk the walk.”

“Why?”

“Mask or split. No wiggle room. I’m sorry about that but them’s the rules.”

“Motherfuck. No disrespect to you but this is crap.”

“Maybe so but the mask goes on and stays there or you need to head out.”

Third, do not give them what they want if their behavior is demanding. Requests are awesome. Demands come from children. Children rewarded for making demands become the biggest cunts in society. A variation on the “never negotiate with a terrorist” becomes “never negotiate with an entitled, vicious dickweed.” Offer them a choice of your choosing that may come close but is never exactly what they want unless they request with humility and civility.

A Tale of Two Guests.

Guest number one is apoplectic about the fact that the television in his room isn’t working. He berates the desk clerk, demands to see the manager. When I come over he demands that he be compensated or he will Tweet about the hotel side of the place. I ask the clerk if the engineers have been by to check the TV. They have and it is working now. The guest demands he be comp’d for the night for his trouble. I smile and say “No.”

Guest number two checked in around 3 p.m. after a long drive. It’s 109 degrees outside and his air conditioning has broken down. The engineers couldn’t fix it. He requests some sort of perk for having to sleep in the stifling heat. “Even a free breakfast would be fine,” he says. I comp him his entire stay.

Fourth, if all else fails, confuse them. Confusion in the moment burns away the steam in a fraction of a second.

She is so worked up about her claim that the ATM Kiosk did not dispense her $40.00 that no amount of calmly assisting her is possible.

She’s been met with disbelief from one security officer. Encountered a rhetorical shrug from the cage teller. At the moment I am called over—imagine that, a black woman screaming a full volume that she better see a manager right fucking now—she is clenched like a fist and is bouncing on the balls of her feet as if to leap into some MMA-style melee with the now three security officers. We’re at that place when patience is lost on all sides and she is dragged out of the place, put in cuffs, and the police are called.

I can see this unfolding from across the room. I approach and she spins on me and unleashes a volley of rage-filled verbiage accompaniment by no small amount of spit, her face mask forced from her face from sheer energy.

The moment is saved by Blue Swede on the ever=present casino soundtrack. 

“Whoa! Hold on!” I cry. My hands go up in the air in a show of joy. I look at the officers, I look at her and freeze in place.

“Ooga-chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-chaka Ooga-Ooga...”

And I sing.

“I can't stop this feeling Deep inside of me Girl, you just don't realize What you do to me...”

Confusion. The disconnect between what was going on before the song and in that moment resets things a bit. I smile. “Sorry. I freaking LOVE this song. Now what can I do for you?”

I grew up in what was enshrined the “Me Generation” of the 1980s. With so much of our daily lives encapsulated in performative behavior—the desire to be famous as a higher goal than to be wealthy, the non-stop seeking of approval via endorphin hits of “likes” and “retweets,” the awareness that we are constantly being filmed by everyone with a smartphone—we seem to be in the “Look at Me Generation.” I mean, for chrissakes, what narcissistic asshole first invented Taking a Picture of Yourself as a normal part of our behavior? We have subtly been trained to expect reward from increasingly demanding and childish behavior.

It isn’t enough to accept that, in order to succeed in an overwhelmingly service industry centered economy, we have to capitulate to being fed a shit sandwich and smile pleasantly as we choke it down for a sadly meager hourly wage. Rather than meet this with resignation turned to resentment and our own sense of rage, we have control of the moment. Every interaction is a teaching, a re-training, moment.

There is a difference between a demand and a request. Learn to reward the requests and stonewall the demands until they transform to requests and you begin the process of one-by-one training people that a strategy of cooperation rather than contention leads to more favorable outcomes.

The customer is not always right. In fact, the customer is often completely wrong. You can shift the behavior without abandoning the values of good service.

Train people to expect reward from civility and people will start to be civil.

Machine Manufacturers Are Actually Presently Worried Concerning Defcon.

I am actually not highly recommending any individual mirror this profile, which is actually merely made to reveal my distinct, rule-based, methodical technique to value-focused, lasting, returns growth committing. There have been actually an amount of extremely priced IPOs that gapped still much higher in the after-market only to plunge lower on the following time or more of trading with higher volatility. As the road meals blog post Sticky Rice (the exact same one that led our team to the bún cá under the Banyon plant) clarifies, "Many versions possess 2 suspicious characters, a fried puzzle cakey number and also filleted parts from an organization white colored swimmer, often steamed, at times fried."

More Proof of Janet Yellen’s Idiocy

This post More Proof of Janet Yellen’s Idiocy appeared first on Daily Reckoning.

[Ed. Note: To see exactly what this former Reagan insider has to say about Trump and the fiscal threats from politics and the debt ceiling, David Stockman is sending out a copy of his book Trumped! A Nation on the Brink of Ruin… And How to Bring It Back to any American willing to listen – before it is too late. To learn how to get your free copy CLICK HERE.]

During the last 129 months, the Fed has held 86 meetings. On 83 of those occasions it either cut rates or left them unchanged.

So you can perhaps understand why Wednesday’s completely expected (for the last three weeks!) 25 bips left the day traders nonplussed. The Dow rallied over 100 points that day.

Traders understandably believe that this monetary farce can continue indefinitely, and that our Keynesian school marm’s post-meeting presser was evidence that the Fed is still their friend.

No it isn’t!

Janet Yellen’s sing-song gibberish was the equivalent of a monetary DEFCON 1, alerting all except the most addicted Kool-Aid drinkers to get out of the casino.

Our monetary politburo has expanded its balance sheet by a lunatic 22X during the last three decades and in the process has systematically falsified financial asset prices and birthed a mutant debt-fueled of simulacrum of prosperity.

But once it begins to withdraw substantial amounts of cash from the canyons of Wall Street as per its newly reaffirmed “normalization” policy, the whole house of cards is destined to collapse.

There will be a stock market implosion soon, and that will in turn generate panic in the C-suites as the value of stock options vanish. Like in the fall of 2008 — except on an even more sweeping and long-lasting scale — corporate America will desperately unload inventories, workers and assets to appease the robo-machines of Wall Street.

But there is nothing left to brake the casino’s fall.

If the money market rate conforms to the Fed’s latest command and settles at 88 basis points, it is still effectively at the zero bound. Our monetary politburo is thus still out of dry powder — except for the nuclear option of QE4, which Yellen herself made quite clear would never happen until after the next recession is already underway.

Yet by then it will be too late — way too late. That’s because the market is priced as if the business cycle has been outlawed and as if the feckless band of Keynesian pretenders who have seized control of financial markets have ushered in the Nirvana of permanent full-employment. World without end.

Needless to say, they haven’t because they haven’t repealed the law of supply and demand. That is, if the Fed plans to keep raising until rates until they reach 3.0% by 2019, it will have to suck massive amounts of cash out of the financial markets.

So doing, it will drive long-term yields substantially higher and thereby obliterate the ultra-low cap rate delusion on which the entire regime of Bubble Finance is based.

In fact, in a blathering response at her presser about the pace by which the Fed intends to shrink its bloated $4.4 trillion balance sheet, Yellen proved she is clueless about the financial firestorm our rogue central bank is about to unleash.

She claimed that the Fed could implement 3-4 money market rate increases a year, while deferring the shrinkage of its balance sheet into the indefinite future.

But that it most assuredly cannot do.

With a staggering overhang of $2.1 trillion of excess reserves in the financial system, even our vaunted monetary politburo cannot command the tides to recede. If it wants the money rate to rise on its appointed path through 2019, it must drain loads of cash from Wall Street.

At the same time, the other event from Wednesday — the freezing in of the Federal debt ceiling at $19.9 trillion — will means that the cash drain will soon intensify.

That’s because the U.S. Treasury has blown a massive wad of cash in order to pay its bills during the last few months, but will soon be back into the market borrowing hand-over-fist. That is, draining cash from the dealer market as it floods Wall Street with new bills, notes and bonds.

At the peak level of its cash hoard on October 24, the U.S. Treasury was sitting on $482 billion of cash.

But as of Wednesday, the Treasury’s cash balance stood at just $77 billion, meaning it burned through $305 billion of cash in just 51 calendar days since the inauguration, and nearly $360 billion since the October 24 peak.

But now that the debt ceiling is again frozen into place, an explosive political crisis is coming soon.

There is simply no pathway to a Congressional majority to raise it until Washington reaches the brink of political crisis and has gone beyond.

The prolonged and turbulent debt ceiling crisis that is coming down the pike is surely not “priced-in.” As I have said, the robo-machines can read headlines, but they can’t read the Washington tea leaves.

The fact is, what is impending is nothing like the 2011 crisis when Obama’s Keynesian advisors scared the wits out of him about a debt rating downgrade, and the GOP backbenches were set-up for a patented betrayal by House Speaker “Lawnchair Johnny” Boehner.

This time there will be no timely compromise.

That’s because the Deep State and its Democratic shills are attempting to re-litigate the election, while the Donald has declared war on them in turn — compounded by his aggressive actions on the immigrant ban, deportation of illegals and the erection of provocative controls and walls at the Mexican border.

The fact is, as a political matter, Hispania is the 51st state, and the channel through which the Democrats hang on to power. They will not support a debt-ceiling increase unless Trump throws in the towel on Obamacare and his anti-immigrant dragnet.

Yet if he folds on those core issues, he will incite a massive revolt in the GOP rank and file, which would make a majority for a debt ceiling increase even more problematic.

Besides, the temporary expedients and accounting gimmicks which the Treasury will now began to roll-out to temporarily defer the day of reckoning actually make no difference where it counts.

Last year during the March through May period, in fact, net debt rose by $96 billion, and there is every reason to believe that this year the shortfall will be even higher.

Accordingly, the current meager cash balance at the Treasury will not even last to Memorial Day.

After that, Uncle Sam will be back on Wall Street borrowing cash hand-over-fist — even as the Fed continues destocking its hoard of government debt through the back door of the repo market.

So what commenced this week and what will remain into the indefinite future is that Washington will be draining massive amounts of cash out of financial markets that have been suckling on the teat of government “stimulus” for most of the past three decades.

Does the school marm running the Wall Street casinos banking window see any of this double whammy coming?

Au contraire.

Again Wednesday she professed to see no bubbles anywhere, while floundering incoherently when asked about the timing of the Fed’s belated normalization campaign. A questioner wondered why the Fed is now raising rates just as the U.S. economy shows signs of gathering weakness and the global economy — centered in China and its supply chain — lurches forward in a slow-motion train wreck.

Anyone buying stock based on confidence that the Fed has their back notwithstanding Wednesday’s action surely deserves the pounding just ahead. What Yellen had to say doesn’t even reach the status of babbling; it was flaming incoherence:

Well, look, our policy is not set in stone. It is data-dependent and we’re — we’re not locked into any particular policy path. Our — you know, as you said, the data have not notably strengthened. I — there’s noise always in the data from quarter to quarter. But we haven’t changed our view of the outlook. We think we’re on the same path, not — we haven’t boosted the outlook, projected faster growth. We think we’re moving along the same course we’ve been on, but it is one that involves gradual tightening in the labor market.

So when faced with actual facts about declining real wages, collapsing Q1 GDP estimates, disappointing retail sales and a wild and woolly fiscal process ahead, the Fed chairman defended the third rate hike in 11 years by saying that the “data is noisy.”

What isn’t noisy is the data on the stock market’s bubble of a lifetime.

When it finally pops Yellen and her posse of Keynesian money printers will be incoherent, speechless and finished.

And that pop could come awfully soon.

David Stockman for The Daily Reckoning
