"ABOUT THE hypothetical Market Crash: WILL IT? WON'T IT? FROM GINGER LOUNGE ROOM ON TELEGRAM, 16 MAY

GINGER

Enlightening discussion in GLL chat among family today in regards to the hypothetical Market Crash. Will it? Won't it? Thank you kindly Liberty Loungers Extraordinaire 💥 for your super insights! 5.16.24 

 FilAm, Admin: I'm gonna go on record, It's not going to crash. The WHs are not going to let it happen, the idea of a stock market crash is a narrative fed to us by the DS to keep our vibrations lower collectively. In fact, I can see a transition with a very relatively smooth, orderly fashion.

Christina Cats: I agree 💯. I follow Elena Danaan & she has been consistently saying no crash. Alliance is in control of this situation & their view is we people of Earth have had so much distress & crashing the market will cause much chaos. Also Tarot by Janine did a reading more than once about the market crash etc. 

Cards showed over & over no crash but what has been happening is Alliance is strategically & carefully taking out DS hold on the stock market. Look how many DS players “sold many shares of their stock” over the last 6 months. 

No fear. No panic. 🫶🏼✌🏼

Pops Call: I agree with you. This is a transition. the crash narrative was on the table, if you look at this from a military perspective. it was an option, and influenced by the BH. As we can now see, the precision of this operation, as daunting as it is, is being executed with a transitional objective. If we consider what goldilocks posts, and other market indicators, and reliable news sources, we see a transition.

 Transitions take longer, but the casualties are less. Imagine if we did have a collapse. look at the chaos that would ensue. the destruction, casualties, turmoil. It's painful to us because we see it, but the "normies" still don't see, until we are there. And that is our objective, to be there with our experiences to pick them up when they fall apart.  From the 40k view, this is the most phenomenal mission ever undertaken, with no room for failure. IMHO
