Just a quick little note.  Regarding the Crypto bear market, my gut tells me that we are just wrapping up the Bear market, and we are about to embark on a new Bull run.  Although it looks like we have put in our Bear Market low, the technicals I look at, and the people I listen to, follow all agree that although we are close to saying a Bull market is underway, we are just one confirming signal short of that. With that backdrop, I find the chart below very interesting.  It's a comparison of the weeks and months leading up to the Bull market in 2018 to what we are seeing right now.  Pretty impressive, right?

I'm not a conspiracy guy.  I've never written about conspiracies, and I don't believe in any.  This is not about a conspiracy.  This is speculation, based upon available facts, regarding Trump's cache of Top Secret documents.  It's the what and why of them not being where they are supposed to be. When Edward Snowden released thousands of top-secret documents into the wild in June of 2013, the Intelligence Community was alarmed and for good reason. Not only was the number of Top-Secret documents released substantial – the Australians claiming 15,000 of their documents were exposed, British officials acknowledging 58,000 of theirs, and a declassified Defense Intelligence Agency report said 900,000 DOD files were exposed. In addition to this,160,000 operational NSA emails and 7,900 classified files taken from over 11,000 accounts were also revealed.  Later estimates by U.S. Officials puts the total number of NSA documents alone that were disseminated by Snowden at 1.7
