I am. Now that it's been explained it all makes perfect sense ;-)

By the way, Rockefeller’s watch doesn’t state 9/11. It states ‘five to nine’ or 8:55. And that’s assuming that the blown-up grab hasn’t been manipulated by some conspiracy theorist with an agenda.
So the most plausible explanation is that was the time when the photo was taken. I take it your theory is that he adjusted his watch to tie in with a plan to bring down the [unbuilt] towers in 30 odd years time?
C'mon, this has run it's course long enough - who is HomeTeam? One of you have surely set a secondary account up as a parody or alter ego.
I can't think of anything less likely to be part of an 'all seeing eye' conspiracy as CERN...surely that's the antithesis of a god/devil belief?
Anyway the CERN logo clearly related to the fact the thing is round and things fly around it but even if it was some sort of homage to a secret number code it's clearly either 6666 or 9999...
CERN could be short for Cernunos, the horned god of Celtic pagan belief.
Druid folk ken whits gaun on.

This is the start of something really sinister.
What's next, the right to refuse someone treatment because they're Black, Mexican or Muslim?
Couple of Trump related articles I've noticed today
Donald Trump prepared to apologise for Britain First retweets

Trump launches attack on 'predatory' trade

If he had come out with the Britain First thing when it happened and better explained where he was with "America 1st" .....e.g. "Mr Trump said he would always put the US first when it came to trade, but "that does not mean America alone"" then maybe, just maybe people would think him a little more presidential. .... maybe!
Not disagreeing in general but it will be interesting to see what his corp tax cuts do...it might be a temporary effect as the companies bring their money back onshore but so far they have resulted in bonuses that go far beyond the 1% and seem to have spurred a number of large investments.
Also much more of America has its pensions tied up in stocks through their 401k's as compared to the UK so a rising market there again spreads its benefits well beyond the 1%.
I don't buy into the absolute link between who's in the White House and how the stock market / economy does but on both of the above counts the immediate impact of them at least won't be making many Americans cry.
That is undoubtedly true, but are an electorate likely to vote out a president that’s delivering economic prosperity? As things stand a Trump second term seems more likely than not.
As incredulous as it seems to us in Europe, peopltwill vote on economic issues and Trump hasn’t been bad for the economy.

It's like our zombie football league. We all have to watch dead clubs walking about and pretend they are alive. :greengrin
Stocks and bonds will crater at the same time. The 90% of financial advisers who know the square root of rock all will continue to sell wealth management like vacuum cleaner salesmen but knowing less about their trade.
Hunker down.
ETF's are hilarious. QQQ 75% in FAANGs (read it up). Diversified? :faf::faf::faf: Oh, and a wee side note. Amazon is a retail company? It makes the bulk of profits from cloud services. IT is weighted too high. Illegal? Yes. When did that matter.
Wizard of Oz.
Bonds, Stocks and real estate are going to crater at some point. No rush, but don't put all your eggs into one heavily bought and paid for establishment advisory (where you buy the bonds and stocks about to crash - see 2008 -:greengrin).
QQQ is a Nasdaq tracker and its weighting in the FAANG’s is consequently the same as that index c45%.
And diversification from what? If most of my wealth was tied up in UK residential property (very common when people’s biggest asset tends to be their home) then buying QQQ might work for that.
You can also buy ETF’s that cover completely different asset classes...a precious metal ETF for example. They might be ‘passive’ but that doesn’t mean you are not making active choices when buying one.
Anyhoo I agree on the wealth managers / IFA shout....pretty damn hard to find one that is not just churning out the same old textbook nonsense (Bonds ‘safe’ despite a 30 year bull run!).
As for the ‘zombie’ economy. Well people can’t have it both ways. Put the price of money back where it should be (i.e. positive interest rates) and you will get rid of a lot of the zombies. Yet society seems rather less tolerant to such things these days so we have central bankers printing money and grossly skewing the market dynamics.
Finally you predict a market crash at some point...well sheesh anyone can do that and be right eventually. The fact remains though that over the long term stock investing (with divs reinvested) has proven to be a sound way to generate a return on your capital.
