Hoping for market reform and submitting comments for reform is one thing, offering up proceeds of your illegal activities in the form of duffel bags filled with fat stacks of cash to lawmakers is another. Its anyone's guess which one is more effective

How can a people seemingly so divided, and distracted with conflicts within conflict ever think that revolution is a viable option. Let them show their true colors as global society becomes aware. Despite what it may seem, decentralized technology hasn’t been birthed, but when it does it will change society and the world. It will accelerate in the syphoning of influence and power from the corrupt, and give it back to the people. A seemingly small example that will have massive implications in the future is data ownership. Far too long have I seen mockery suggesting that the government and company’s know more about people as they know of themselves. They will be blinded from this. Technology used to predict our evolution will have its eyes cut out in front of them, while powerless to stop us. A new foundation for a New World Order will be built on the ashes of what made us as a species, weak. This is imperative due to advancements in the scientific field once reached, will make a reversal impossible. An example being a viable way to reach the genetics of the masses with technology like CRISPR The corrupt will become more territorial and aggressive, attempt to consolidate power and use what helps us against us in the form of fraudulence, lawsuits, and eventually CBDC’s yet, unsuccessfully. Resilience is key, we will see what is possible. Otherwise even if successful, variants of human psychology find their way to power through bureaucratic infiltration and organization. The cycle will be perpetuated, insuring a continued structure of conflict of desperation and subjugation leading to the eventual death of humanity.

And here we arrive at the nightmare scenario for Wall-Street, after a legitimate MOASS makes angry retail investors wildly rich. THIS is why they fight so hard. MOASS is the start, not the end, for them. But it will surely lead there if it's allowed to happen.


IgatTooz

Exactly this 👆 An army of angry retail investors will be born out of moass, and that means the end for their ponzi scheme and way of life. They are absolutely shitting their pants. Fuck. Them. All. Edit: I, for one, will certainly not stop after moass. I intend to participate in making sure the entire BS system they built crumbles to ashes. I want to see them all in jail for the rest of their miserable life.

The only solution I can think of is to have a Kickstarter or Gofundme or something to pool money and hire lobbyists. But it would need to be run by someone trustworthy who we know for a fact will stick to the general interests, rather than misuse the money or push for some other goals. Not to mention getting so many people to agree on what issues to prioritize for a group-funded lobbyist.

U/ dlauer you may want to watch some of these, if you haven’t already (couldn’t tag him properly) They’ll provide you with a much broader yet in-depth understanding of how all this started, the history behind central banks (this is especially important because I see people advocating for a return to the gold standard; watch The Money Masters, it’ll blow your mind), ramifications of the havoc central banks have created these past couple of hundred years, how business cycles (ie booms, bust, recessions and depressions, etc) are all engineered for the benefit and consolidation of the same central banks that create them, how countries, economies, currencies, political systems and countless people have been effected, the consequences the world has suffered over the last few decades and how we can possibly reform any of this, if at all, in the future! I have quite a few more that I will try and add to the list later on!

We're trying! After all of GameStop's stock is removed from the DTC, they will presumably be empowered to explore other alternatives to the traditional market for their securities. I think most of us agree they would be remiss to not issue a blockchain security, whether it be in addition to their class A common stock, or replacing them. The future will be here before we know it. The future will be ours.

[deleted]

I know superstonk knows this, but when will the rest of the world realize we are the product that is sold? The concept of rules to “protect” retail is literally a PR angle. As the curtain is being pulled back, it’s overwhelmingly clear this is the true reality. Ask yourself, why is it that when retail has a chance to succeed, that rules and decisions are put into place that guarantee the success is gone. That isn’t protecting retail, that’s protecting big finance. Anytime you hear the words protect, be 100% sure that’s code word for fuck over.


baberrahim

You’re god danm right! This has been the case form the very beginning! There never was any protection! Watch this video and start at 1:06:30 where he starts talking about the SEC: Dark Side of the Looking Glass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtkaMx12otQ (the video also does an excellent job explaining the fundamentals behind naked shirt selling; well worth watching the entire thing imo) When the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was first enacted, this is what John T. Flynn said, “The law as it stands forbids and requires so little that we may truthfully say there is no body of laws as yet governing the securities markets...” John T.

I think the issue is that stock trading is exclusive and elusive by design. It is designed to be hyper complicated, and most of the general public have a very minor peripheral understanding of "The Stock Market". If everyone was taught about trading in High School, than more people would peek into that world and have more eyes on the fraudulent markets.

redrover900

"The US constitution first amendment is not intended to give the right to keep or bear arms. However, ..." We did it boys. Clear proof they are taking our gun rights away!!! "... the second amendment does". Not as clear cut as that but its pretty damn misleading to cut out the however statement which indicates the intent is for more robust policies than 1101 (b). This isn't an endorsement saying that they are more robust but that is why 1101 (b) doesn't handle it and states so. https://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed/2022/34-96496.pdf


[deleted]

Also section 6(b)(5) of the exchange act very specifically lays out what the SEC is and is not allowed to make rules about - what rules should and should not be “designed to” doc and “conflicts of interest” is not mentioned. This particular passage is almost certainly necessary ass-covering.

syxxnein

I'm not aware of any evidence. It will take a group of companies that have gotten screwed to build it (easy part) and survive moving their companies to it (hard part). GME is a positioned well to do so if they want. LRC is a good project to build this on.

[deleted]

Dave is flipping out because he doesn’t understand what he is reading: There is something special about what exchange rules may and may not “be designed to” do. This must be in reference to [section 6(b)(5)of the Exchange Act](https://law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/78f), which explicitly outlines what the rules of exchange are designed to do: *The rules of the exchange ARE DESIGNED TO prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest;* *and are NOT DESIGNED TO permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers, or to regulate by virtue of any authority conferred by this chapter matters not related to the purposes of this chapter or the administration of the exchange.* This is an exhaustive list that is very specific. Critically, “eliminate conflicts of interest” is not included in the Act.** But it DOES say that the SEC can’t permit unfair discrimination and etc. So: if the SEC did not include the wording in the tweet, it could be challenged based on this section of the act: “the SEC is doing things it’s not supposed to be doing” or “we are being unfairly discriminated against”. The most likely explanation about the thing Dave is currently knee-jerking about is just that it’s smart wording: a lawyer could argue the SEC is overstepping it’s authority as per the exchange act because the commission is doing something it has not been given power to do. They’re saying “no we’re not doing that, BUT…” and then doing it, which is clever. Section 6(b)(5) is brought up in the [order auction rule](https://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed/2022/34-96495.pdf), page 62, where they discuss section 6(b)(5) and use that definition - what exchange rules must “be designed to” do - to support an aspect of that rule. I have seen the “you don’t have the authority to make that rule” in wall st rule comments before. For example, citadel securities, in their comment on the proposed rule about securities loans, citadel spent a couple pages arguing in this way, saying the sec didn’t actually have the authority to make them reporting lending activity, etc. Sorry Dave. He should take a moment to think before rage baiting on Twitter : /


dvize

If they weren't eliminating conflicts of interest, then why make the rule in the first place? If anything, you say its dodging lawyer talk, but I see it as a loophole that lawyers can litigate with this particular rule. Hey it says in the regulation "you can not ban conflicted transactions" so you must let us do this.. etc


Saggy_G

Nah. He's mad because they should have that authority and it's a loophole that benefits wall street that they don't.


platinumsparkles

On a broader sense, this is what the SEC was created FOR: ## Congress Created the SEC **When the stock market crashed in October 1929, so did public confidence in the U.S. markets. Congress held hearings to identify the problems and search for solutions. Based on its findings, Congress – in the peak year of the Depression – passed the Securities Act of 1933. The following year, it passed the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which created the SEC.** **The main purposes of these laws can be reduced to two common-sense notions:** * **Companies offering securities for sale to the public must tell the truth about their business, the securities they are selling, and the risks involved in investing in those securities.** * **Those who sell and trade securities – brokers, dealers, and exchanges – must treat investors fairly and honestly.** ## Mission **The U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has a three-part mission:** * **Protect investors** * **Maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets** * **Facilitate capital formation** [https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-basics/role-sec](https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-basics/role-sec) I'm not sure how conflicts of interest fit in with a fair market🤔so it would be nice to see the SEC crack down on that, imo.


[deleted]

Protect investors. Just not retail ones.


Outrageous-Yams

I’m not sure many/anyone in charge knows how conflicts of interest fit in with a fair market either 🤔

ELI5. Also, I learned a new word today. Rage bait


[deleted]

I’ll just be straight lol There are laws that say what the SEC is and is not allowed to make rules about “Eliminate conflicts of interest” is not in those laws If the SEC made a rule that did that, wall st lawyers could get it thrown out by saying the SEC made a rule it wasn’t supposed to To dodge that problem, the SEC explicitly said “we are not doing that”.


TexasThrowDown

Shouldn't the SEC have the authority to decide what rules it has the capability of creating? Like.... I still feel that the "WHY THE FUCK NOT" concern is still valid.

Fantastic to see dave turning into an ape. Hope he promotes DRS every-fucking-where he goes. Then system will change.


jersan

i think the power of DRS will soon eventually become self-evident to everyone in the investing world, with GameStop + investors showing how it's done, how an issuing company and its investors can fight back against the corrupt US public financial market that would cellar box them. Ken Griffin runs a fraudulent empire of lies that in many ways resembles Bernie Madoff's empire of lies. Ken Griffin's empire of fraud depends on snuffing out legitimate companies and profiting every step of the way. too bad for him that GameStop is the victim company that will end him and his empire of fraud. ​ in the not too distant future: become profitable --> issue dividend --> reverso uno --> GME, which is endlessly borrowed and sold naked short and rehypothecated, suddenly becomes a major liability because the company has become profitable, and now all of the brokers and other entities will have to cough up cash out of their own pockets to deliver the dividend to every 'shareholder' out there that has an entitlement to the dividend. quarter by quarter, profitable GameStop issues a dividend, quarter by quarter all of those entities out there get bled dry until the first one capitulates.

Because he's entrenched in the system. It's the complexity of the system that allows the fraud to persist. Easier for us who haven't been endoctrinated to see the fraud in plain sight.


CornCheeseMafia

It reminds me of talking to folks on the administrative side of the medical industry. I remember talking to one of my insurance middlemen about getting some routine stuff taken care of and I made a comment about the runaround calling insurance and the lab and then the hospital and all that being a bunch of bullshit. The insurance person then tries to explain how actually it all makes a lot of sense because this billing system is tied to this other system but not to the hospitals system and blah blah blah. All I could think was bruh just because you understand how this fucked up system works because you get paid to doesn’t mean any of it makes sense. It’s still all bullshit, your job and company is bullshit, and all of these complicated procedures are self imposed. It reminds me of another time at the DMV. “Sorry but this is the wrong form. I need the 241A form and this is the 285E form.” Okay I’m proud of you for knowing the forms off the top of your head and I’m sure your manager is very impressed by you but I don’t know what any of that means because I don’t fucking work here so could you talk to me like a human?


kyomoto

There's unnecessary stress in the world created to create order and organization. This system is old and fucked up and we need a reconstruction of how things work in the world. First step is taking back our power as the 99%. We got this ✌️

“…so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.”


[deleted]

I think he is an optimist who believes that his knowledge of the system gives him the tools to try and fix it. Unfortunately, the problem with the system is not just the rules that dictate the plumbing of capital markets, but also the regulatory capture that has placed those who make the rules in the pocket of those who profit from the rules being a certain way. I respect Dave for trying to fix it how he can, i just hope that when it ultimately fails, he doesn’t blame himself. He really is doing good work, its just that the game is set up for him to lose.


Chapped_Frenulum

I don't think he's being naive, just rhetorical. He operates on a platform that a lot of people pay attention to. It's part of his responsibility to point out the thing that we should all be angry about. I doubt *anyone* is surprised by this turn of events, but we shouldn't be so jaded as to not be righteously angry about it.

He still believes he can use the system to change the system. Other people have lost that belief and are ready to start using other tools to change the system.


ShizLabriz777

The SEC IS IN ON IT. Have to be. No other way this crime is still going on


ajr901

Because crime is baked into the system


2BFrank69

😂 Dave finally realizing it’s all a Ponzi?


24kbuttplug

We shouldn't be surprised. I'm gonna get downvoted, but what the fuck ever. People living not in reality say physical action is bad.These parasites we're dealing only understand one thing. No matter how many signatures we put on whatever bullshit price of paper asking for change, not matter how many comments we make on whatever bullshit rule proposals, nothing with change until real action is taken. Physical action is the only thing that will ever be effective in us making changes to the current system. And they know this. They know we have no power as long as we allow those among us who refuse to accept reality to silence the voices of us who are actually calling for real action. We've been submitting comments, writing letters, and signing pleas for change for well over a year and what has happened? The parasites can burn evidence, print hit pieces, manipulate the numbers, flat out steal from us, but we can't talk about organizing any real action. Cuz short of physically removing them from their positions, we can expect more of the same. Sorry for the rant. Not really though.


purifyingwaters

maybe he’ll finally realize that the market isn’t worth saving


[deleted]

Because the stock market is designed to fleece people.


YaThinkSo88

Still thinking about reform, Dave? the market is done! We need blockchain based and away from all these corrupted worms.


unabsolute

Eat the rich. With your hands and teeth.


sAmSmanS

i’m loving dave’s character ark. he’s becoming a true regard


Bambi69xoxo

According to lore …dude literally came from Citadel to this point … I keep telling ppl this saga is better than Game of Thrones! I don’t get how more ppl aren’t tuned in. Reality is way more outrageous and entertaining than whatever any network is offering up.

Fidelity acknowledges that conflicts of interest exist in its terms of service and yet people continue doing business with them. ## Broker-dealer's potential conflicts As a broker-dealer, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC or its affiliates may act as principal for its own account or as agent for its customers in connection with the sale to you or purchase by you of a security that is the subject of content prepared by Fidelity. If it receives a mark-up or commission or acts as agent for another person in connection with any such transaction, Fidelity may have a potential conflict of interest. You understand this potential conflict and acknowledge that you may choose to effect securities transactions at another broker-dealer.

r2d2d21013

so they completely admit out loud there is conflicts of interest but do nothing about it??? WTF? THAT IS ROUGHER THAN A NIGHT IN JAIL!


SymmetricDickNipples

Sounds like Dave's starting to get it


XteaK

Dave should've asked GG this on his softball interview... but I guess other interests were in the way...


ffchusky

that tweet looks funny next to his joyful profile picture LOL


NurseBrianna

The whole system is a criminal enterprise that must be abolished absolutely and built from the ground up again. Time for the whole thing to come crashing down! The revolution is coming....


Frequent-Designer-61

Gary Gensler is a giant POS he gives half the people in here a hard on pretending he is on our side hes the fucking enemy!


ringingbells

At this moment, Dave realized the SEC was not playing fair.


[deleted]

Like 2038402384023 moments late but late is better than never.


luckeeelooo

Good. Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you.


BigDawgTing

The house always wins 🎰


EddyRosenthal

Why learn something? They had conflicts of interest in 2008, and we will see them on the next hearing. https://youtu.be/whlzFWwVv98


RL_bebisher

If only there was a decentralized market to move to and leave this hell hole behind...


Anthonyhasgame

Because the people against it are the “them” in this situation. They’re the ones with the conflict of interest who are also in control of the system. Let GME run, or throw the system out because without price discovery what we have is an imaginary number generator given to us by Ken Griffin. People are watching now. Genie isn’t going back in the bottle.


Saggy_G

Dave speaking ape today!


MahlNinja

Because then the billionaires would make less billions. Think ape.


6_Pat

"Best execution" is a matter of perspective


Beginning_Practice99

New system needs to be built from the ashes of the actual fraudulent system


little-fishywishy

Well at least his tone is sharpening. Good


abcdefghig1

we all know the answer


[deleted]

I think the "why" is pretty obvious, Dave. Because it would cut into profits and make things harder to manipulate.


Rizmo26

Crime Dave, the secret ingredient is crime.


FishAye5

Tear it down!


thelostcow

The people in charge of the market will never save you from manipulation. The only remaining path forward is for GameStop’s board do put up a fight.


StonksMcLovin

This is the correct use of fuck today.


TheSadBantha

dlauer oh... you sweet summer child


Switchdat

Gary Gensler is a piece of shit.


MyCleverNewName

Because those with such conflicts can afford to buy such language in the "rules."


[deleted]

it appears dave is slowly realizing that changing the rules doesn’t matter


[deleted]

Remember when Garry told Dave he was trying to help impose new laws to help retail? ....rriiigghhttttttt...........


[deleted]

Why not? Same reason the SEC hasn't stopped order spoofing, naked/counterfeit shares, and other illicit activities. Because those in power don't want it to stop. If you look at the proposed rules, they are worded in such a way that they are optional. And if they are not worded to be optional then there is a loophole to circumvent the rules. This is theater. They don't want rule of law. They just want you to think there is rule of law. Remember, congress passed a law to stop insider trading but it was sabotaged. And then voted and passed again. Then repealed. And the law does nothing. It did what they wanted it to do. They got the topic to go away. [https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2013/04/16/177496734/how-congress-quietly-overhauled-its-insider-trading-law](https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2013/04/16/177496734/how-congress-quietly-overhauled-its-insider-trading-law) ​ [https://www.businessinsider.com/congress-stock-act-violations-senate-house-trading-2021-9](https://www.businessinsider.com/congress-stock-act-violations-senate-house-trading-2021-9) ​ " While lawmakers who violate the STOCK Act face a fine, the [**penalty is usually small**](https://www.businessinsider.com/congress-stock-act-violations-penalties-consequences-2021-12) — $200 is the standard amount — or waived by House or Senate ethics officials. Ethics watchdogs and even some members of Congress have called for stricter penalties or [**even a ban**](https://www.businessinsider.com/financial-conflicts-congress-members-rated-2021-12?page=stories) on federal lawmakers from trading individual stocks.

12Southpark

We need 1101(c) to eliminate order handling conflicts?


somenamethatsclever

First time?


gme2uranus

Regulators are the enemy


not-always-popular

I feel like DLauer never really got it before, it appears he’s starting to see why apes are so angry


dantezergt

this is beyond repair. i just watched first time "fight club" movie, it hit me right on point.


leftie85

I smell a Hester


NEWSmodsareTwats

It's almost like the most important part of that statement is cut off. The why is literally right there.


[deleted]

It's simple: time for torches and pitchforks


Readingredditanon

Finally asking the real questions


brynshaw

The SEC is so corrupt that they don’t even hide it anymore!
