Good morning, everyone. My name is Keith Morian, Director for Latin America of the U.S. Institute for Peace. I'd like to warmly welcome you all to a very special and very interesting event we will be here today. The U.S. Institute for Peace is a bipartisan public institute established by the U.S. Congress in 1984 to find solutions to violent conflicts throughout the world. We are working on a very wide range of issues in order to assist and prevent conflicts and help nations going out of conflicts and making peace in Latin America. We are also active in the country of Colombia, Venezuela, Haiti, New Zealand, Central America, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. We are working on policy recommendations, analysis, programs, and support for peacemakers in the field. Our discussion today will be focusing on an issue that has been very central in the peace world in the United States, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Bolivia, and many other societies, which is the use of police force to maintain public order. This is a classical common issue. We managed to get the right to express ourselves and frustration will give people to the streets where protests can become violent. And that has happened because of lack of training, inappropriate equipment, or personal prejudices will lead to excessive use of force against protests and the protests can become a combat. Dozens of people throughout the hemisphere have been killed in such situations and the bond between the security providers and the public has been broken. Today is my privilege to welcome four subject matter experts from the hemisphere who will be sharing their perspectives on how to prevent escalation and create appropriate conditions so where the peaceful protests can be maintained in the communities while maintaining communities of safe and security. Today with us are Dr. Gino Costa, former Peruvian congressman and minister of the interior, an expert on police reform and democracy. Madison has been working throughout the sphere of these issues. His book besieged democracy is a testimony of the democracy crisis through Dr. Ull Krullin, he's a government faculty in the University of Chile with a master's degree and master's degree from the University of Harvard, who is the director of the Think Tank of Citizen Security of the Public Affairs Institute of the University of Chile and director of the project crime and urban violence and ecology of crime in the design of public policies. Dr. Ignacio Kano is an original expert and not only has a PhD in sociology from the University of Madrid, many of the things is the founding member of the lab for violence analysis of the State University of Rio de Janeiro. And if Fernandez is a lawyer and master's degree on law on the University, National University of Colombia has been working with power came with various nonprofits on human rights and victim protection affairs. She's a researcher of the organization and the moderator of our discussions is Arturo Matute from USEP who is an expert of citizen security issues based in Guatemala. So I'm going to recognize Arturo so you can proceed to lead our discussion. Good morning, everyone. Welcome all to the virtual roundtable on social police and social protests in Latin America and because we have a short time, I'd like to introduce our panelists. Each will have five minutes will go from north to south and starting with ego fooling in Chile and then Gino Costa who will speak about institutions through Angie Fernandez will address Colombia and Ignacio Kano will be giving us a regional perspective on this topic and then we will have the space for Q&A and discussion with the panelists and if we have time we'll respond to questions. Thank you very much. Good morning, everyone. On October 17, 2019, we started a very long period of social demonstrations, then expression of violence against public and private property. Accompanied by loading and other expressions of public unrest and discontent, which lasted for several months in Chile, but it was previously reempted by student demonstrations on 2005 and 2011. In each case, there was an expression of a very strong misuse of force by the Calabineros in Chile and suddenly the situation had to be regret as of 2019 can be explained by the lack of correction on the part of each administration, our government in terms of the strategic practices protocols and standards used by Calabineros enforcement in every situation. Misuse of force resulted especially in wounded people, people in shock, the unrestricted use of tear gas, in some cases directed against people themselves, the use of riot rifles causing visual trauma in the last laws of one or two eyes in the protesters. Just one month after the protests started, the Calabineros announced that they would stop using those rifles when several international human rights organizations have been intervened and they had stated that those rifles should not be used to avoid any injuries being caused to people. And they also insisted that it was necessary to stop using them due to the lack of training by those who were using them in the case of America's watch and with the support of the University of Chile, we were able to establish that the bullets being used had metal crustaceans. Since I have a short time, there's some aspects that I would like to highlight in this while the misuse of force was evident. The truth is that despite the military intervention that was decreed by the government, the curfew that the government established for 12 days, the number of deaths as a result of the actions of the state agents was relatively low in about five individuals. There was not an extensive use of firearms being used to control rights and this government has cooperated with international human rights organizations and opened the door to discussions with them and later published a new protocol for the use of force in the national gazette. Some recommendations I'd like to note based on these episodes is that the special Calabineros forces were not prepared or have the necessary staffing to deal with the social protests that extended to the entire country. There were 1,400 members of the law enforcement enforcement that had some degree of training and they had to turn to a greater staff that didn't have any training in the rest of the country and in the end more than 20,000 Calabineros, law enforcement agents were controlling the violence which led to a situation of turmoil, a lot of control and misuse of force. Now too, it would be impossible to understand what happened without alluding to the 12 prior episodes where there was not a proper oversight and correction on the part of the civil administration in office at the time. Thank you so much, Dr. Fuling. We now recognize Dr. Gino Kosko. Please. Thank you, Dr. Three factors have contributed to the serious human rights violations in the Peru protests. First, the deterioration of democracy and the growing impurity of law enforcement. The Peruvian democracy is in crisis since 2016 which has led to rotation of the commands lack of authority and the absence of accountability by our security forces is a major factor because of the major that's that we had in the investigation that was carried out vis-a-vis the repression, violent repression of the 2020 protests. The investigation was shelved and the Congress led all these forces and asked the prosecutor's office to just leave it at that and this does not explain the misuse of forces, the use of these forces that are inadequate have not done their job and since sometime now they have not used properly their police force. This manifested itself in the way the government dealt with it and they called for immediate elections, SNAP elections and they opted for a regressive response to mostly peaceful demonstrations while they were slurring and then also this led to a crackdown that repressed people. Vis-a-vis the deaths, the government did not change their political discourse or the protocol and they did not hold the Minister of Defense or the Interior responsible for what had happened in the Prime Minister either six days after the Uamanga deaths because of the military repression. The government did not announce any investigation leading to the replacement of any operational command because of the results and also no action was taken and it has taken too long. Also to the start of the protests and multiple reports and media reports the police are still there and no measures have been taken with alleged responsible people and the army has not been prosecuted because of what happened in Uamanga and also the projectiles that were used are the same used by both the police and the military in the involvement of both military and police and several victims got bullets on their chest and brain while they were saying that they were not dangerous. As a result, all the government has declined in its level of popularity in the protests that were carried out and many of these protests that were unpopular became looked at with good eyes. And what is quite clear is that this is a drawback in our human rights for various Peruvian families and for democratic living together and it's also adverse to the investments in the country. Although the country is still polarized and do not approve of the performance of the security and law enforcement forces some would approve it and it would be very difficult to recover from what has happened and restore citizen security. The adoption of certain measures would lead to restoring this situation first the dismissal of Roberto Cano of Esther for his resignation and also taking measures regarding them and also proper investigation of the cases. Fourth exercise of the elections learned and also the installing of cameras to control law enforcement operations and controlling munitions used by police and citizens also the proper use of intelligence. It would be recommended to create a national record for human rights in order to develop a democratic doctrine on protest control by using the proper protocols for law enforcement operations and develop a training and equipment program to We build the national prevention system and peaceful solution of conflicts at the level of the cabinet of ministers and finally to strengthen the foundations in order to modernize and streamline our law enforcement as approved by the government in 2021. Thank you doctor Costa would like to recognize Angie Hernandez so she will talk about the situation in. Thank you so much for having me. It is an organization that follows an approach on human rights. The situation in Colombia is based on this forensic approach to the human rights situation and I would like to relate some of the facts that occur in the case of Colombia. While the global tension has been focused in Colombia since 2019 to 2021 because of these events this is something that we know and we've had more than 20,000 or 12,000 occurrences of unrest and protests around the country. The social outbreaks resulted in a serious impact because of the violence involved first moment was when the we had the initial outbreak and some of the authorities in office. Reacted by enforcing controls through their law enforcement in the second time and second moment is when they address these legal mechanisms being enforced after the implementation of these regulations on the use of police force the number of people who were killed. And were victims of violence and different cases, people who went missing or disappeared and had to be reported in the police or the authorities said that all people had been accounted for. There are also cases of sexual violence and injuries that are not related to the traditional violent things that occurred during the demonstrations of people who were stabbed or received bullet impacts or all types of injuries. The result saw a very serious situation of violence in the country. There are a number of myths around social protests in Colombia, but they're very specific, triggering factors that have enabled these facts to occur. And this might be considered visible or minor factors, but they do have a major impact. First of them is the very ample discretion that the authority have for using force as per the existing regulations and standards. Our forces are required to exhaust every peaceful method to deal with these protests and most of these reactions will occur because the space between dialogue and the use of force has not been clearly defined. So it is not at all clear what are the specific procedures that should be completed before resorting to the use of force. In most cases they will use force immediately. It is presumed that there is an initial dialogue, but then they will resort to action. The second factor is in Colombia. Social protest is legally authorized, but there are still standards in place that will hinder the implementation of those social protests in a way which is not so well regulated. For instance, in Colombia, the possibility for people to stop traffic is banned. There are standards in the penal code that someone who will obstruct traffic will be penalized because we need to ensure public law and order and citizens living together. This is used as an element to enforcement or using firearms. Some are less lethal, but they are still being used to deal with political confrontations or any other type of protest. So there is this power, this congressional power that these authorities have to decide when to use police force. And this will provide a legal framework for them to decide what type of weaponry, firearms will be used and the type of personnel that will get involved in it. So there is a major factor during protests. There are very few checks and balances in place. I mean, when the protest starts, they will exert control, but later on they will also use controls, but they are less. And we have found that such controls in terms of accountability are minor in nature in the processes that will go on for 10 years. Many of these court proceedings instituted will take more than 10 years and there will be no results at the end. And besides that, we have looked at many violent scenarios that will occur in very specific sites where these protests or demonstrations will take place. But it will go beyond that. It will follow up on protesters, try to control the people who participated in those protests, which is an arbitrary action to do. Sure, we will shall continue shortly. Now we will give the floor to Ignacio Cano for him to provide original perspective. Dr. Cano, thank you. In Latin America we have problem of misuse of force that can be divided into two components. One, the use of lethal force in fighting organized crime through a military paradigm. Those who are criminal suspects are considered to be enemies and they have to be taken down. And we have a project for the use of lethal force in Latin America with many countries and we have found that many summary executions in Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Mexico and other countries in the region is replacing in point. And also the second point is the use of lethal force and this is where the social protest comes in. The use of lethal force against protests can become lethal as we've seen it in Colombia and other countries and it can lead to serious injuries as we saw in Chile. Central point here is how the police will deal with the social protest. By and large, the police will not consider it as a democratic right but as a thing to be dealt with combativeness. And when we look at civil rights, it is possible to use police force but that should be done from a standpoint that a protest should be protected and not fought. Which is not the case in the region. So here you have the two basic paradigms with the police. There's a police to preserve the government, political police and there's a police for protecting social rights which is the classical paradigm you see in England. And Latin America is undergoing its slow transition to that model. In Latin America we see many traits of the police being used as the government or regime police. And since protests are against the executive power and they come under the executive power, the risk is that they will use police to quash these protests. And this is not unique of Latin America. We see it in many countries in the world but it's also clear in this region. And also the aggressiveness of some protesters who become violent can be used as an excuse to quash the protests violently as was the case in Brazil in 2023 with their mass demonstrations. And in that regard there have been allegations in various countries that the various state agents are infiltrating demonstrations violently precisely to justify an indiscriminate or wanton repression. This indiscriminate repression is reinforcing the protest and leads to a vicious cycle. It is also common for demonstrators to be treated differently according to their political trends. For instance last year in Brazil the extreme right demonstrators were very carefully treated by the police while the left wing demonstrations were dealt with very violently. The times we are living now are of great dissatisfaction. I will repeat because of authoritarian governments and increased social protests so it is very important for us to pay attention to this issue of how the police deals with the protest. The law enforcement of these protests should abide by technical protocol and not so much of political intervention. Eventually since the police will obey the executive power they will have a different attitude and we don't want that. The way these protests are being dealt with should be in a technical manner complying with protocols which must be public and agreed by people. The public should know how the police is going to deal with the demonstration and what are the measures they are going to take to reduce the discretion authority. Despite that what we see in these countries is the opposite thing. For instance in Chile recently there is a new law that has been enacted that gives the presumption of legitimate self-defense to the police. So something that has caused injuries or wounds to someone will be treated as legitimate self-defense and the courts will condone it. And there are protests such as that going on in the continent. In other cases with the application of terrorism labels to it. We've seen it in the US, the United Kingdom, etc. And what's happening is that they are giving them carbons to the police and they can do anything they want and they will be justified. And with this we need to deal with the increase of oversight and control both internal and external mechanisms for police performance. Without those external and internal control mechanisms we will continue to see more injuries and excessive use of force by the police in the region. Thank you. And now I would like to open up our space for exchanges during the panelists in order to incentivize our panel discussion. I'd like to start with a couple of questions that would be the basis for our discussion. The issue of political scandals and the public opinion that has been generated as a result of these situations of misuse of police force have been very important at the time. But it would be very interesting to get to know how this issue remains in the political agenda of each country in the region in terms of controlling the use of force. And also an issue I'd like to raise is the changes that technology have brought about in terms of organizing social protest situations. Perhaps in the past this was a bit more clear in terms of who were the people who were leading a protest situation. And there could be better mechanisms to articulate or coordinate with the authorities to know when and where these protests were going to be staged. And now the situation is pretty different. Many times the protest situations occur spontaneously. They're being organized through social media and this will further hinder the possibility of giving a democratic and respectful response to human rights. What are your comments or reactions to it? Dr. Furing, we will start with you and then you can all chime in. Yes, thank you very much. I would like to make a quick comment based on the observations made by Gino and Ignacio concerning policy and the police response to social protest. I think it's really important, therefore, to say the following. First off, when it comes to policing, you have this context in most of our countries where there is little legitimacy or support for democratic institutions. And that does have other effects. First off or the first effect being that people tend to take to the streets because they feel that political institutions are not representing their particular interests. And obviously that leads to conditions that cause police to use force in response. But secondly, looking at the case of what occurred in Chile, I find that the tone, the narrative of who supervises the state is essential in order to promote the conditions to reduce tension and resolve any matter in a peaceful way. While the government initially will often make use of efforts to condemn violent acts by protesters, there's often an escalation in repressive or oppressive actions when in the Senate and with the authorization of the government an agreement was reached on November 15. That sought constitutional change. It was clear that tension reduced and although protests continued, they were less intense. And I want to sort of compliment what Hugo is saying, agreeing with him saying that the tone of this political discourse is necessary when you are deciding how the police are going to respond. And the police need to have technical protocol so that when they have to take action that they not be obligated to accept this. For example, I've seen situations where the government demanded that the police eliminate an uprising at all costs and the police responded with technical parameters. I think that the government on one hand has to have a tone of reducing tension and they have to have a tolerance for democratic protests. Yes, but there needs to be police authority that has technical tools to resist some of these demands from the government that sadly will will will be present in the case of Columbia would be essentially the exact same thing. As you know, the current government, which is a more progressive government has a tone within some police authorities, especially at the local level. That is, I mean that tone sort of goes against protests that we're seeing the new movements when it comes to how to generate control how to aid and how to protect protests. In Columbia recently, we've seen some legal reform initiatives when it comes to the police as a structure, and specifically the entity that's in charge of suppressing protests and riots specifically. So we do see that action has been going down but in some areas the more practical approach at a local level tends to be violent. And I say this because in addition to the factors that have been mentioned the tone of the national government and the existence of protocol. It is important that we also generate mechanisms that will allow us in some way shape or form to be politicize the police so that police can do their job that would truly allow them to protect people's rights at a local level Like cities like Bogota, Cali, Medellin, it might be a clearer change but in remote municipalities those changes are harder to identify. If you'd allow me just saying I completely agree with the importance of a relationship between politics and and policing, like Hugo said, and with the comment also given by Ignacio, in the sense that this is a shared responsibility and police institutions should be ready should be professionally prepared to respond within the framework of the law. Although the climate and the general orientation that could that a particular government might give a directive, for example, might lead to the police acting in the margins of the law acting against protest protesters accusing them of violent acts or accusing them of terrorism which causes the rise of a climate where the police act within that context. Obviously there's a political responsibility there because there has been an inadequate response and the police have really gone beyond what they were supposed to do in terms of keeping these protests under control. I want to mention an additional aspect which is the use of firearms in particular. Long range firearms used in Peru for example during these protests, nothing keeps that from occurring. That's within legislation but you know it has to be an exceptional measure, an extraordinary measure. When that use, however, it goes inadequately controlled like what happened in Peru recently that can lead to occurrences like what we happened in the case where six people died in one day or 10 in one day in Guamanga or 18 or 19 in Cuiaca. And so I feel that this sort of begs a special kind of dialogue and regulation, highly detailed regulation in order to avoid the bloodbaths that we've witnessed. Many of the national institutions continue to deal with authoritarian frameworks and we haven't been able to re-establish democratic institutions like we need in Latin America. And in that sense the dialogue that has been mentioned as an important tool, not just to arrive at agreements on how we deal with these things, but what exactly are the possibilities for dialogue in each one of these countries. And also making reference to those really interesting situations or maybe infrequent where the police has been capable of technically putting the presentation forward of using force and opposing policies coming from above. In states that continue to, that remain under authoritarian control, so whoever wants to answer by all means go ahead. Arturo, among the things that I've mentioned that I believe to be necessary in Peru, for example, is strengthening a national prevention system and peaceful management for social conflict, which has been under construction over the last 20 years. It's had highs and lows and clearly didn't work, given these protests which were highly political and we could say occurred in a surprising way after the failed auto coup by Pedro Castillo. And there was a situation where the protest didn't really have a clear face or a clear message and we just couldn't establish dialogue with the protesters. In addition to the fact that there wasn't will from the government, which had adopted a more aggressive dialogue, a more aggressive narrative against the protesters, as I've said, so the government eliminates the possibility of a political exit from this situation, and they opt for an oppressive measure. So when it comes to looking at managing social conflicts over the last 20 years, which have been very violent, the need for adequate mechanisms of dialogue is fundamental. To avoid having these conflicts from turning into major turbulence at a population level, and this would allow us to address the problems that underlie the protests themselves that aren't being addressed. I think that that's absolutely necessary in the case of Peru and I think in all the countries of the region there are systems like these and we need a professionalization initiative. We need to train professionally train the staff members and the personnel who have had to learn on the ground or who have had to learn in the moment, but it hasn't been a real professional preparation for those who have to enforce the law in context of social conflict work then recourse to police force is the last option and that's where we deal with the violence and human rights violations that we've seen throughout the region. I wanted to come back to what Gino said concerning the legal limit, which we've been mentioning for a long time we need to have laws on the use of police force specific laws. Generally they don't exist throughout the region, without any exception, that would really explain what the general parameters are but beyond the law. I mean, there are very specific matters that can't be included in legislation and so they have to be in those in the technical protocol, how the police address protesters, what their previous contact with them has been the possibility of having ununiformed police or police and civilian clothing to get information on what's going on. There are lots of elements that can't be included in the law that are just too specific and we have to understand how complicated this is. The use of force because the use of force is progressive depending on what's going on with the protesters. It depends on many factors. It's not that simple. And then you also have to think about what Gino and Hugo were saying. Sometimes if there's an emergency because the protest is too big, you need contingents of police who haven't even been trained. That's really dangerous. Those police officers don't have any training to deal with those protesters. They have to have specific training within the police and those need to be the people who are trained. The people who are trained need to be the ones who are called to deal with these situations. Yes. I completely agree with what Gino and Ignacio have said. We want to highlight an additional complementary aspect, shall we say. We have to have a police strengthening process in a democratic sense. And I'm not talking about the expression of democratic policing that was used in the 2000s. I'm talking about something that goes deeper than that. We are experiencing constant political volatility and the governments can alternate. In Chile, we are now looking at the possibility of going from a leftist government to a government that's much further to the extreme right. And that has an effect on the relationship that we have with social protest. Given that we need police officers who have a sufficient amount of independence and conviction when it comes to a democratic doctrine. Not just to be able to overcome that pressure, but also so that they can be effective in controlling protests. Because often what we see is an excess of oppression. But when there's ineffectiveness from the police, they make use of pressure within the public to use armed forces. And then the medicine ends up being worse than the disease. So, at that point, we have to have some kind of support for a process that is very much damaged and has been incredibly unsuccessful in the region when it comes to police reform. And the final thing just to close, it's that even knowing the protocol and following up on that, there will always be a space for gray areas. And because of that, the training and preparation for police officers must be on a case by case basis. It needs to depend on situations and they require a legal training as well. They have to be very clear on what techniques are for de-escalating conflict. Taking a question from the chat, it's a question from Dr. Fernandez on the Colombian situation. They're saying that the police in Colombia are also racist, that afro descendants have been disproportionately affected by excessive force by law enforcement. So, what differences have you seen in terms of these protocols? Namely, Dr. Fernandez, if you could speak to this and then maybe we can go to the other speakers. I think that the country really is for all countries. I do think that there is racism and I think that within the protests, we did see situations where it was very clear that in addition to the police, we saw special courts in neighborhoods that traditionally or tend to be where afro descendant people live. You have a lot of indigenous people living in those neighborhoods. There were many deaths and a whole bunch of tensions rising. There were injuries in Colombia. It was clear. I mean, the amount of progress in the protocol to implement these perspectives really, it's minimum. It's at a minimum because the protocols continue to be very general in nature. I just don't think that they incorporate any of these perspectives in the protocols themselves. In fact, even those that require detailing many of the aspects contained, it's just they're so general. That it would be hard to integrate any focus at all. You could also say the same thing when it comes to gender perspective because it's not very clear whether or not that that is being implemented except maybe in a few cases. Yes, I agree with Angie. The Inter-American Commission for Human Rights also recommended for Peru the adoption of an intercultural perspective when it comes to managing social protests. In the protests that we saw throughout 2020 at a national level, they were peaceful and there was no police violence. In Lima, there was police violence. In this case, we see the opposite. Police violence has mainly been in the interior of the country, in the south, where you have a population of people who are Andean descendants, indigenous populations. And that has led to actions that we didn't see in November of 2020 where they didn't use lethal firearms. They just used pellet guns and this time they've used firearms not only in Lima but in the south for this particular case. And that has led to the need that we've expressed to have an intercultural focus or perspective in managing protests. And I 100% agree with everything that Angie said. And in that sense when it comes to racial bias in the work of the police, it also happens in Brazil and in other countries. It's really important that we collect data, that we collect information because this is not something that happens only in social protests. It's something that has to do with the police in general. But many of our countries don't have data that would allow us to understand when the police stops black people or white people or indigenous people. We don't have information on when the police acts in a certain way against one group or another. And so I think the first measure is that police action should be recorded with information on the ethnic identity or the ethnic information of the individual that's being stopped by the police or that the police has to intervene with. Well, there have been expressions of racial oppression that have been identified and expressed by a national human rights group in the macro southern zone where you do have a low intensity conflict. But that has been going on for quite a while between different areas in particular. Now, what we've seen is that there's proof of this occurring here as well. Now, there isn't any evidence that this is what we're seeing in this particular case. But one of the most important elements when it comes to irregular migration, for example, within the country, in addition to the general debate on the matter, I think that it really opens the door for the phenomenon of racial discrimination to occur by police, by the general population, and that can really show its full colors. That's certainly a clear danger that remains present to this day. Arturo, if you'll let me mention the subject area of technology in this particular area of discussion. This is something that can lead to mass protests and it makes it hard for governments and the police to respond to them. That's true. But it's also true that technology today, as I've said, makes it so that police deployed out at the local level or anti-riot forces, they can incorporate a camera, for example, that allows them to see what's going on at the ground level. And it's to protect the police from the protesters and also to control the use of force by the police. This complemented with drones can allow an operational center, of course, with cooperation by officials and politicians. It would allow those places to follow information as it arises. And it can be filmed and reviewed later. We can learn many lessons from it. Today, we can get basically everything on video, something that a few years ago was not possible. Today, technology, I hope, our police forces will use them. I hope that our police forces will use that technology. And concerning what Gina was saying, I think that that's very much true. Our experience has been that there needs to be internal social control when it comes to police force. Because, yes, the police could announce that they're going to wear cameras during protests. Someone does need to make sure that that's actually happening, that those cameras are delivered by the police. And that, later on, somebody analyzes what happened in each of the cases. There's one situation, a very specific case, where one protester was thrown off of a bridge into the Mapuche River that was practically dry. And in that particular case, the police wasn't wearing the camera or he had his own camera on him. And he was sanctioned because of it. And the trial remains pending. I, of course, believe that we need to see greater will from the police to cooperate with these measures. I would also like to say concerning the controls themselves, this, just like any other tool, requires a series of protocol and adequate procedures. In Colombia, it was announced, for example, that the use of drones occurred not only in the specific case of the protests, but it was also used to follow up or continue monitoring protest participants later on illegally. And they were detained or arrested close to home after having participated in these protests. So it's supposed to protect people within the framework of maintaining control, but inadequate control can lead to situations like these that were reported. And so any technological tool, and I do think that the drone is a very obvious example, but any kind of camera can have that sort of two-prong defect. It can be protective and it can also increase risk for people who participate in a protest context. And the strengthening process for our institutions requires a revitalization of citizen participation. And in that regard, how do you see the situation in each of your countries at a regional level as well? What is the prospect of maybe having greater citizen participation in supervising and controlling police forces in the region? And how can political testament support such participation? Well, Arturo, I do see this with great concern because some of the laws that have been recently approved and some of the proposals that are also being set forth in many countries aren't going in the direction of control, in the opposite direction. In fact, the police, we're just not going to hold them responsible for anything regardless of what they do. We're going to reduce control of police and whatever they do is fine by us. So I am deeply concerned and so social participation would be an important factor. But often what we see is a movement in the opposite direction against social participation and against control measures sending that message that whatever the police do as a public authority is perfectly fine. And we're already living that because as an agent of the state, the police officer already has a privileged position. Or is already in a privileged position. People who are suspected of having carried out a crime will be at a disadvantage. What we see is that in many countries, this privilege for the police is being increased and control is being reduced. Obviously, when there's a huge scandal, governments say, no, we do need to control the police more because these scandals have arisen. But as an institution, it doesn't benefit the police for there to be more control. The police want there to be social control, but that's not exactly what's occurring in many countries. I think accountability in Colombia for what the police does and what the control mechanisms are will have have gone through different stages. There are standards procedures that seek to generate control over the use of public force or police force. There have been some reforms that allow for citizen participation. But they only go so far. For example, a procedure that's that establishes the use of force for the police was debated by organizations and among other things. They asked that in the space where some of the decisions were being made that there be participation from civil society. And this came as an order from one of the highest level supreme courts in the region, and that didn't occur. And that continues to be the case. So there's the possibility that you might have some kinds of control, but not others. And when it comes to accountability later on, when you look at investigations that are carried out, there is a rule saying that when there are serious violations of human rights or serious injuries or situations that go beyond the purview of the actions that the police can take, it should move towards these investigations. And what we find there is that in the majority of these investigations, it doesn't lead to that level of authority. So that's sort of what we see. What I'm saying is that when it comes to the practical procedure itself, there is flexibility for implementing some of these factors. It's not total. There are limits. And when it comes to control later on in the process, it's much less the possibility that there will be an opportunity for participation. And these cases take a long time to be processed. Cases that rose 15 years ago are now coming up, and that's something that certainly impedes the accountability process. Balmi, Hugo, would you like to say anything? Well, then the civic engagement in general for the reasons referred to in my or I trust more on the participation of institutions, nonprofit, professional organizations that are objective in the case of Chile, the Human Rights Institute played a very important role in this regard. There are volunteers and volunteers who went to prisons were able to get into those areas and prevented the police from committing many more abuses. And I would also say that the national body responsible for implementing the Treaty Against Torture visited penitentiaries, detention centers and people who for various reasons were incarcerated. I think that those mechanisms do have a fundamental effect. I completely agree with Hugo in our case. The only thing that has worked out the external controls, the national international human rights organizations in the independent media, in order to account for what has happened and demand explanations from the authorities. This has not resulted in any change on the attitude of denying all this on the part of the authority. Of course, this will, in one way or another, mark the future of democracy in these times and we will have to try to make them abide by what the human rights organizations telling them to do. Because if that doesn't happen, our democracy will continue to deteriorate with the implementation of a new arbitrary system for the use of force, especially in our countries. According to recent surveys, we can see that this is a basic concern for the European public. We are going beyond our time allocated to this event and I would like to thank you all so much for your participation. I'm hoping to continue to develop this dialogue and our intent has been to contribute to a greater understanding of the situation in our countries and also identify more opportunities and policies that can help us reduce police violence and promote accountability and also promote the contribution of the academia and government officials and nonprofits responsible for law enforcement in the region. We are also responsible for providing a better training to police in the region. I'd like to thank you all for the time you have given us and also all those who have registered to attend this event and we will meet again. Thank you very much.


The following is a presentation of TFNN The Tiger Technician Hour with your host Basil Chapman call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648 Hi everyone Basil Chapman, this is the Tiger Technicians Hour. Well, this is the 28th of January, Friday, the last day of the week and we're looking at the E-mini down 27 and 42, 80, 890. We're looking at the sideways action. What happens when at the top you'll sometimes get a break to the upside then it goes back into the rectangle then it pulls back. In this case we're going to be watching carefully because it's getting close to the to the base 42, 81. It needs very quickly to get to 43.03 and then 43.10. Once it does that it says phew at least for now the bulk of the selling has taken place and now we can start to move a little higher. That's really important and you can see how important the 200-period moving average is. How many times is it being at the E-mini in the 10-minute chart? So many times and then dropped all the way to the 42.60s and then ran all the way to the 43.36 area and now it's down to 42.93. So we'll be going through all these different things. I needed to do this. I did Tommy Jr's show a moment ago. This is market kickoff and that's nine o'clock till 10 and of course that's the hour but that's not his show. I just took that time. So we're looking at the down down 264. I didn't mean to do that sorry. Let me just go right here. There we go. So there we go. Let's run these numbers. I don't run out of time so I want to do all the numbers. I want to do this as thoroughly as I can. The fourth day after a low that could be with the VIX index making a high and the market very oversold trying to make a low that is a tradable low. That is not just a low that's just a bounce for a couple of days and it fails. This is a tradable low. I wanted to see this fourth session. We are down to 41. Even if we were up to 41 I wanted to see us sharply above even yesterday's candle the high. I want to see us at least moving towards Monday in the 34,000 a thousand points from yet 34,800 because what would that say? That would say oversold in any way you look at it. There needs to be a balance but the market hasn't seen the notice right now. It's just ignoring it and that's really important because what it's saying is that the drag I'll do this in sequence. The S&P so the Dow is down to 70 and 33,890. The S&P so that's down 0.78 percent. The S&P is down 0.53 percent half a percent at minus 21 at 4,304. Same thing here. Look this can't be the 4,300 candle after what could be a very important low at 4,222.62 on Monday the 24th. It's really important. It could mean you know I've got the selling going all the way through to January. Today you should start seeing and right now as we're speaking you should start to see end of the month buying going to the last two sessions of the month. So this is really important. You want to see some kind of buying and it can't just be end of the month buying. I want to see fresh buying. I don't want to see short covering buying. I want to see stocks that have really been decimated start to be very nice things. That'll be very important. We haven't got that yet. So the S&P is down 0.43 percent but look at the QQQ. Dow also 0.43 percent at 339.0. This is called 340. What's very important about this particular candle right now is that there was only one move above the high that was made on the 24th which was 353.98. The next day was an inside bottle of Doja candle. The following session was a really nice move to the upside at 356.88 and then we got that hot and then the Fed came in and smashed the market and then yesterday was really ugly and today starting off ugly but the day is young. Anything can happen because there must be so many people saying I want to start positions.  I want to start getting something in so that if there is a nice takeoff sometime in the first week of February I want to be there. I don't want to be completely out. That's just maybe the thinking of some people right now. I'm just anticipating but you've got in the Q's a sell mode in the daily a sell mode in the weekly and I'm watching that candle for February in the monthly chart because that could be significant if there is a move anytime in February that even touches 361 that'll be a savior. That'll be a great sideways consolidation. Very important after the huge move that the NDX has had from the the 164.93 low of March of 2020 going all the way to the most recent 408.71. That's a massive move. So now here we go. So let me just see. I want to go to my one minute chart E-mini. Yes, that's the down. I don't want that. I want the ESH22. There we go. Oh, finally broke that rectangle formation. That's what I was I don't know when I was talking about if it was during the update or before. I said this kind of rectangle at the bottom of a move to the downside should see some kind of test of the base and then should try for a move to the break to the upside. We've done that. Now we only down six. This is nice action. I like that. And we've got the Georgia been moving average way up at 43.30. Can it get there? We're 43.12. What we'll see. So we just have to let it play out the way it plays out. So now we're looking at the IWM, the Russell, not the IWM, IWM, the Russell 2000. And what do we see? We see it coming back a little bit. It's only down $1.08 at $190.43. Made a lower low today. You made a low of $188.67. To my eye, these are all so oversold. They are ready for, look, even a bounce that you saw back on the 20th of December came from like two to 11-ish up to the 220 to 26. Even that was a nice percentage bounce. I want to see that. I want to see that today.  We'll come in Monday. That'll be very ugly. So it's really important not just to have a bounce, but to have a sustain we've downed down now 198. I want to see it maybe get to a minus 35 at about between two and three o'clock. That'll say, whoa, maybe we can close nicely. That's going to be very important. All right, that's the IWM. Now I need to do this. I'm going to just run these quickly. Gold is down five. It's improving a little bit from the low today, 1780. I said earlier on that I think that the 18 the 1822-ish area to the 1780s is kind of, you can even go 1835. Could be the rectangle formation that gold holds for a little while, but it mustn't go under 1760. Under 1760 says not good at all. Sideways action basically. Just think of gold as at this particular point being kind of interday trading. It's not the big thing that's moving just yet. Silver, SI, so gold is down five and silver is down 15 cents. I trained you 15. Looks the same way. I just stuck in a sideways move. The dollar has been the big winner. I don't know if it's still holding gains. It's got a doji candle at 97.19. This is kind of important because it says to me that we should be a little deep and then we should start to see some kind of a digester phase. And the weekly chart has got this huge base of like a gold formation that usually can have a very powerful move to the outside. Watching the dollar closely. And I just want to do this hydrate copper sharply down and PTC, good point, up 15.55 to 37.11. Just stuck it. Are you looking for a way to consistently add winning trades to your portfolio?

Hi, folks. So what I was saying is that Bitcoin is stuck in this low range. It too is kind of oversold, even the weekly chances. Next week could be a fascinating week. We could get some kind of a bounce and that's going to be important. How it's sustained is really the issue right now. So let me go on to the TLT. And this is really important. The TLT is stuck in the low range, meaning yields are stuck in the higher range. And what I'd say is the normal thing, my normal, might not be other people's normal, but my normal says that when the key equity stocks start to come down sharply, very often throughout the decades, I've watched as money flows from out of the equities, they migrate into the bonds. The so-called, I say so-called safety of bonds, because if you look at a chart, the bonds, there's nothing really safe or it doesn't, they look like charts, even if you look at the chart of the TLT. Look at this. Huge move up into the 17970 March 2020 high, excuse me, from 111 low back in 2019, 1819. And then pulls back very sharply towards the one, what was that, 135-ish area, has a good bounce. But it also has a chart that says, if this is going to be a dreaded age pattern, you could see the yields start to rally as bonds come back. And that's really important. If the TLT trades at any point below 138, oh, those yields will start to break out. And you'll see that here, tnx.x, you'll see that in the tenure. Look at this, made a peak ease. You've got this almost like a, let me just do this, almost like an oval pattern. Probably I should make this like a, there we are. Like a diamond. But anyway, if it starts to break out, look that monthly chart in the tenure yield looks like a leg C wants to go. This almost looks like, what was that one? Oh, it looks like the dollar pattern where it went to the left side resistance area in the monthly chart. And then it broke above it. So all I can say is that if the tnx starts to trade above 1971, let's call it 1980, 1.98, that's a big breakout. So we've got to watch this closely.  I want to see us come back very nicely in the market itself. So here we go. So I've done that, done that, done that. I did crude oil. I'm saying crude oil is, you know, I say it's getting toppy only in the sense that in chat wave notation, beginning to a level where this is where you should start to see some kind of resistance, but it's above the 85-65 continuous contract all time high. So the high that was made in October of 2018 sums to 7.61. And we don't have to go to April, the fiasco back in 2020. And then now it's ranging in leg E in the weekly chart. I'm sorry, in the monthly chart, it is also in the weekly, but in the monthly chart, and it's above that 85-65 level. It made a high today of 84. That's three points. I'd say that's not necessarily an exact left-side, right-side match, but it has got the price time, which is very important. So what we're looking at here is crude oil, looking out on a monthly basis says, you know what, crude oil could keep you going high. If you're looking at the DBA, which is the DBA of Agriculture Fund at 20.11, we've been long since 30.77, I believe. And now it's at 20.11. It has hit the 20, the 20.30s. I'm looking at this and saying somehow, some way these commodities are holding up, and that should go towards this whole inflationary aspect. So you can't ignore that. Now, I did say that I would do this, and I'm going to do that right now. Just too many questions coming in. So Amazon. Hey, for Amazon, Amazon is trading down just $2.66 right now at 2789. See this little cluster formation at the bottom here? Wow. That has to change. That has to quickly see a move up into the 20, 900. Actually, it needs to get to 3,000, and it needs to do that by a week from today. It needs to be up in the 2950s and higher. It just must not take out the low of Monday, which was in 2707. But this is a sell mode daily, sell mode weekly. I really have to say, monthly chart, I've got two days to go. I don't want to talk about it until we get there on Monday, but it is looking like I might have to call this an Amazon sell signal in the monthly, one of the few big, big, big stocks that gives a monthly signal like that. Apple. Apple is trading up $165.66. I saved the day here. This is a great leg B because the MACD is still weak. Sycastics only at 24%. 9% is still way under the 14%. And I've got a sell mode in the daily chart. A sell signal in the weekly chart, but not a sell mode yet. I have to wait for the close, but it's hinting that there might be some problems here going into next week. If Apple can't get to 168, maybe touch 170 within the next five trading days, that's going to be a problem. And the monthly chart, like GSASC. Let's go on. We've got, if I can ever remember them, Google is trading up 10 at 2592. What a move from 37 round number high on the 19th of November down to yesterday's low, on the Monday's low, under 2500. 2492. And all it can do is bounce to 2592. This is a sell mode daily, sell mode weekly. And the monthly chart, I could very well turn into a sell signal, but I have to wait for two days to see. So here we are, Amazon, Netflix. Netflix is just absolutely decimated. It made a 700.99. Why didn't it miss the round number 701? I don't know. On the week of the 19th of November, plunges down to Friday's in the 350s. Here it is, 377. It hasn't even been able to have one penny above the gap high of the 21st, which was at 3 at 409.15. That's the level. It has to just touch that once and then close above 400 to say, oh, I'm going to try to touch the 417 level of the 9-period moving average. Hasn't been able to do that. So here I am going through these. So yeah, the question came in CVX. Could you go through some of these oils? CVX made a big deal. That's really what I'm talking about.  Today's a peak D with a high yesterday of 137. Well now, isn't that interesting? 137. what? Zero, zero, a round number high. Not all the time. I have a round number high. Amazing. And now it's pulling back a little bit. So that's the resistance. If it goes, if it closes above 137, that's a big deal. That's very important. But it's a leg D. Now, peak D, possibly in the day D, a leg D in the weekly, and a leg D in the monthly. This is Chevron. I'm going to do this on a monthly basis to show something very interesting. I had questions. Can you just show some of them? I'll do that tomorrow in my webinar for subscribers, not my webinar, in my video for subscribers in my weekly Saturday or Sunday. It'll be a Saturday overview. This one is going to be going into great detail. I'll talk about different things. I'll even talk about the broker, broker dealer index and the broker stock that we started to have a positioning because I really like the stock, but I need to have a tight stock because this is just such a, such a, such a crazy period. The CVX is in leg D in the monthly chart. Yes, it is an all-time hot. There's nothing further. I'll be back in a moment. That's what you have to do.

Of those we're back so look we're giving another peak D right there in the one-winter chart it's pulling backs down 9 at 4308 and look at that 200-bit moving area which became a repellent again. So let's go on. So questions came in about CVX. So CVX did well. I made that peak D if it doesn't make a new high today. I made the round number high. Exxon is also doing the same thing pulling back just a fraction it's down four cents and 75. This is a peak air voice. This is a recycle. For now because the MACD is so strong I'm just giving it a I'm continuing the alphabet A, B, C, D, E, F. I could even go to G and then I have to put G slash C. But in the meantime it's in a leg C in the weekly chart still very positive. That's why I think Crude Oil the whole idea of this Crude Oil as a longer term position for 2022 so far I think that has credence. The other thing we're looking at here is so the natural gas did move up sharply. I we missed it. I tried to get in this morning for subscribers because it did so well yesterday but it just in fact from the time I was typing that I wanted to get in and I had I run it enough I had two people email me say what about natural gas and it was just as I was about to send out my my newsletter but you know a gap is a gap I don't sometimes I'm following a gap I don't mind getting the gap sometimes I'm not interested. This is one of those cases where it would have been just too too big and natural gas has such a whippiness to it that you could get in perfectly have a fantastic gain. I put in raise your stops all the time and then by the end of the day it could be ran it just does that it's just one of those vehicles that's a little difficult to to trade. I'd say some people I'm sure do very well with it but I just found I haven't we haven't traded it very often but it is something that I keep in mind and what I want you to do now is I had a question should I do it now or should it's just a view or maybe I'll just do that for the moment let me move this now to the left there it is okay so I said this is technical Friday and we'll do more of the technical stuff but I'm going to do for my webinar to I keep saying webinars not it is a video tomorrow my overview video because it is it is taped it isn't live my webinars I do live all right let me do this so there are a bunch of stocks let me just go all over the show bear with me because this is giving you a picture of what's going on in the market SDZ fantastic company consolation brands I've discussed this as one of the great companies that just got their product mix and their sales perfect for years for decades they just from 2010 you can go back backer all what you've got is from the time in June of 2010 when the ninth period on the monthly basis crossed positive I decided embarrassing to say this at around about $17 not once did the the nine-period moving average crossed negative until it had gotten to 236.62 SDZ the symbol back in April of 2018 and then you had to still wait until the big red candle of December of 2018 where it crossed negative at 156 had a balance and they made the dreaded age and then plummeted all the way to the March 2020 or 104.28 consolation brands and what I had said is when I found out that they had gotten into the cannabis area I said uh-oh a learning learnings experience coming up they've got everything right but when they get this right this will be the company as the core it used to be what was that British company that we used to look at I think it was taken over but now I think it is consolation brands in just sales that's all I'm talking about of the cannabis area spirits alcohol and cannabis I mean what a mixer so now we're looking at a leg E red candle at an all-time high of peak E which have way over 258.00 just like we saw a moment ago in whatever it was and we're looking at for the 00 all-time high and now what we're looking at is it goes from 258 down to today's of 231 20 points not a big deal 10 10 percentage but that's a pd in the weekly charge so you've got a cell mode in the monthly a cell signal so far in the weekly nothing in the monthly and a monthly chart is still in a really strong a leg E will see if it's going to come up peak E so when I put them to when I'm putting monthly charge of all disparate um sectors that's where I start to get a little concerned saying youth if everyone starts to on the way up we had consolidations where you had buyers come in on the rotation through the weekly sectors and then it would reverse back again where they were done getting ready for the big move up maybe we are starting to see something like this on the downside I hope not so here we have to go to the semiconductor index there's the majors um oh my trading down a gang today five points at 251 made an all-time high of 318 point no 300 and 300 and oh yeah it was 318.82 in the 22nd of November comes back does the double top retest at 318.69 unbelievable just pennies away from that previous high turns around cup formation upside down dreaded age bam goes right through the 200 period moving average and yeah there's another sector I think this is telling us it's a big deal that the semiconductor index is turning down and in the monthly chart that red candle in an f slash he just says I haven't got a signal yet but this is the first time it's just the 14 period the black 14 period moving average since the March lows of 2020 I mean this is serious stuff cell mode daily cell mode weekly nothing yet in the monthly chart and if I can go through someone said could you go through a couple yes advanced micro devices decimated 164 down to 101 60% decline about that uh in monthly chart looks horrible to cell mode daily cell mode weekly I'm real close to a cell signal in the monthly chart uh question about nvidia nvidia nvidia is trading at 216 down three at 216 um it goes from 346.47 with a round number low that day on the 22nd of November of 319 and now it's a 208 I would say 346 to 208 this is not one of the best companies in the world anymore it's having a problem a big problem cell mode daily cell mode weekly oh so much by by Tuesday's close I might have to call this a monthly cell signal that just says you've got to be careful because that's going to impact the qqqs I mean look emu a number of people say could you please look at emu a new low today um it's down leg c at 76 57 down two it was at 98.45 today's 75 I would say 23 points on a 98 dollar stock is a pretty serious blow and that weekly chart um that's something that you can't sneeze and the monthly chart says uh oh and marvell one of the great companies just did everything right for so

tiger tv that's tfnn.com then hit watch tiger tv hi folks we're back and i wanted to show this show and i'll spend a lot more time tomorrow in when i do my this is a very special overview it's going to be really closer to a webinar than than an overview i've got questions coming in and i'll put them into the into the potpourri of things that we're looking at but here we are with look on the right here in the corner on this black chart with the black background chart i've got the hgx the philadelphia housing index now the rule of thumb that i have is that you can make a dreaded h a lowercase h if it holds the left side low and it starts to rally there's a chance that if it closes above the arch first arch high the dreaded h pattern lowercase h it could make a very big m formation by going towards the previous high and then failing but if it takes out the left side low you've got to at least be aware that in this kind of analysis you could see a one-to-one to the downside and it's trading at 438 i i don't like to do one-to-one to the downside until it actually starts to show it's breaking the base but if we start to trade in the philadelphia housing index hgx under 4 it's at 438 let's just talk about two weeks time maybe three weeks time could be Tuesday but let's just say it starts to hit 418 that says now you've got to be careful for the one-to-one and the h pattern where it reverses to make a full circle to the downside and that it takes you right back to the uh that cluster formation right there back in February of 2021 between uh would that be with a lower 4 of 397 so 400 to 397 i don't want to see that i just don't want to see that because that says the housing sector and we'll look at some of those stocks tomorrow but look at the um 9p moving average holding here in the wood ice shares global timber and forestry edf it's just come straight down but it's held it made the art formation made a second one announced pulling back it's down at 86.21 down 49 cents this is something to keep to heed because if it starts to trade under the 9p let me just make sure i'm doing about the right format uh input oh that's the 50 i knew that there was something different i look it looks so different to everything else the 50 period moving average it hasn't gone under the 50 period moving average since it broke above back in the week of the 10th there's a weekly chart the week of oh my the 10th of july of 2020 it's just been on a tear the wood i i am w o d there's the etf wood the ice shares global ice shares timber and forestry edf so this is a big deal if it starts to take out this key support and have a little lonely uh 50 period moving average but if it takes out 80 83 is supported it's at 86.21 right now that's going to be a big deal now look at the yields 30 year has broken out above the left side high but it hasn't really held uh held the break out but it has held within the context of a very narrow range at 2.0 93 20.93 that's the tyx the tnx the brown one this is the tenure yield at 1.787 17.87 uh has broken out but it has a lower high this week but look at the closeness of the five year at 16.28 1.628 why would people want to choose a 10 when you can get a five why would you want to choose a 30 where it's just a little bit above for the risk uh at 2.0 rather than 1.7 for the 10 well you don't always have the choices depends on what you're getting right the 30 years for the big long-term mortgages etc but 10 years based I mean more on the home loan sorry automobile loans and things like that so this is a big deal watching this closely look at the way the five years this spiraled I should have typed it in from the low off point yeah yeah the week off can I actually get that yep I can the week off the 31st of july of 2020 the yield goes down august the 7th the yield goes down in the vx the five year to 1 1.92 that's 0.192 and I was trading at 1.6 I would say that that's a big deal so I'm just throwing this because I wanted to tell you in the work that I'm doing for tomorrow's webinar I keep saying webinar for tomorrow's video overview I like a webinar because it'd be so detailed but it isn't a webinar because it isn't done live never be taped I'm just saying this is such an important period and today every rally has failed every failure is rallied it's just stuck in this range it's like it's like glue with the midpoint pattern let me just go back yeah look look at that nice move in the e-mini suddenly but it's not a nice move when it's still down three after being all over the show okay what I am looking at here is so Morgan Stanley this is like a top that is in distribution and it does look like the high that was remember I talked about this so many times for the last many months look at this 105.95 was the height of the week of the 1st of october it pulls back under 95 and then rallies in a cup formation and goes back to the high of three weeks ago of what 106.47 106.47 is less than a dollar 50 away from that previous high and like all the patterns are double tops and then when it starts to trade under the cup low in this case with Morgan Stanley starts to trade for a week there's a weekly basis under 93 88 let's call it 93 it's at 99 right now this is just six points high that's a big deal that's going to be very negative that's why this is so important and yeah I could do one of the traditional if you want I could say I could make it a little bit look a little bit like an expanding top so it's really important that any kickoff to the upside on Wednesday of Thursday of next week as we start February you have to have sustainability you just got to get it running and holding the rally all right so what I'm going to say and I really congratulations in your great trading enjoy your nap she's been on me all night I think amazing all right so now what we're looking at is a question came in oh what about China oh a very good question what about China all I can say there's nothing's changed as far as I'm concerned China is not where I want to be not now right now there will be a chance in 2022 with China has a really good rally but right now it's just it's good it's on it's only for the next what week or so we're coming up next week it's it's it's the new year they celebrate for about a week so just watch it it's down right now the fxi that's the big cap or large cap they call it ETF down 35 80 it's down 51 cents coming back in this Eiffel Tower straight up straight down pattern it just doesn't look very good in a monthly chart even looks it's in a sell mode in the monthly there are so many stocks that we are worried about here I don't know why you want to worry about China at this particular point let's try to get our own house in order we'll see what happens in this coming week it's going to be a very important week nice rally now we're up nine and the e-mini whoo let's see how we can deal with this 200 grid moving average the day is young we're only not even an hour and a half into the session you've been all over the show down future without 360 then they're up the down now the down 21 the e-mini's up cool sharpening your

Item Number SCP-2047 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures SCP-2047 is to be held in a containment chamber, which utilizes a Faraday mesh in its construction to block incoming or outgoing radio signals. SCP-2047 is to be monitored for radio communications. Any radio signals or changes in the intensity of light sourcing from SCP-2047 are to be reported immediately to the Site Director. MTF-Omega-4, Foreign Exchange Students, is to monitor major astronomical centers and public communications for claims relating to details of the SCP-2047-1 event or its effects. Amnestics are to be administered to any non-foundation personnel, possessing knowledge of anomalous data in relation to the SCP-2047-1 event. MTF-Omega-4 is also to monitor and contain any space-time anomalies resulting from event 2047-1, as well as displaced biomass, non-Euclidean intersections of terrain, and transplanted matter. Description SCP-2047 is a hollow iron spear with a 40cm diameter, covered in language originating from Theta-C. These inscriptions describe the process that occurs in Event 2047-A as a warning system for the target planet. The surface of SCP-2047 has so far proved unnaturally resistant to attempts to open or cut into the cavity inside. Scans of SCP-2047's innards only reveal the basic outline for advanced machinery. Everything is understood about how SCP-2047 functions, or how it is capable in assisting in Event 2047-A, other than to relay a radio signal back to Theta-C. Event Log 2047-A, 1973 Day 1, July 13, 1973 At 000101, Earth and an exoplanet designated Theta-C undergo and exchange a spatial position. Earth is deposited in Theta-C's previous solar system, while Theta-C takes Earth's spot in the old solar system. The process occurs instantaneously. No contact can be established with the Lunar Minerva project. See Supplement 2047-E for information on Theta-C. Day 2, July 14. Radio transmission is relayed through SCP-2047 at 013257 via its spatial anomaly and multi-locational existence. Radio transmissions are initially audible and are initiated in an unknown language, presumed to be one of those used on Theta-C. Over the next 12 hours, the language converts into increasingly fluid English, until full communications between Earth and Theta-C are established. Theta-C's interstellar exchange program is first described. The Foundation requests the reversal of Event 2047-A. Theta-C responds with denial. Day 113, November 1. Knowledge of Event 2047-A eventually spreads over the first two weeks. The Foundation has no viable method of hiding the knowledge of the cosmic shift. Others institutions experience a peak in attendance, and some reform their values to accommodate for this event, while others dissipate entirely. No knowledge of the existence of other sentient life reaches the public. As news of the loss of the Minerva project reaches the public, however, general anxiety increases. Foreign relations between major powers become strained, as the United States, Soviet Union, and China enter a space race to explore the new solar system. The Middle East experience a nonviolent wave of protested demonstrations, in response to the upheaval of the known world, and unrest with the civil governments. Containment efforts by the Foundation are beginning to become problematic due to the Foundation's use of resources on continued efforts to prevent societal collapse. Just the Theta-C for assistance are denied. See supplement 2047-F for information on previous exploration of the solar system. Day 286, April 23, 1974. Containment of Keeter-level SCP objects grow increasingly difficult, and strains a majority of Foundation resources. Hostilities between nations increase, as they become increasingly suspicious of one another. The United Nations become the strained force, not very effective in mitigating the deterioration of relations. Southeast Asia experiences a systematic political repression, as China falls behind in a space race, followed by religious accusations in response to the increased volume of religious activity. Request a Theta-C for assistance, following a presentation of detriments to the human race is approved. Day 339, June 17th. A collaboration between Theta-C and Earth is initiated in order to attempt to reverse the detriments of Event 2047-A. Theta-C announces to the Foundation that reversal of the entire process is impossible, but suggests that a localized reality reset may be viable. Using a combination of SCP-2047 and Theta-C's technology, a CK-class reality restructuring scenario is created. It includes a mass change to astronomical data, records, and memories revolving around the field of astronomy. This restructuring also resets the data on Earth on July 13, 1973. Foundation staff at Site-88, which houses SCP-2047, maintain full records relating to Earth's previous location, and are excluded from the reality restructuring in order to facilitate the further suppression of knowledge. Under a full debriefing of top Foundation personnel, the residents of Theta-C are informed a further collaboration with the Foundation would not be continued due to the unacceptable risk of societal collapse stemming from uncertainty relating to previous events. Post Reset Day 146, December 5, 1973. Apollo-18 space mission to Earth's new natural satellite launched. Located on board are the personnel and materials required to produce replicas that match the vehicles left behind by Apollo-11 through 17, as well as establish a temporary lunar settlement to begin re-establishment of the Foundation lunar sites. Post Reset Day 156, December 15, Foundation Lunar Site-190 begins construction, with resupply loads arriving on a weekly schedule. Post Reset Day 1517, July 5, 1977. Voyager 1 mission launches in order to better ascertain the details of the solar system that Earth now resides in. Minimal data was relayed from Theta-C after the exchange, but further investigation is warranted if necessary. Permanent debriefing materials. In 2047-E, Planet Theta-C, also known as PyCol by its inhabitants, is the densest planet in its respective solar system. Theta-C houses approximately 9.144 billion different species in the best translation between nomenclature systems possible. Its sentient population is distributed among 19 minor continents and one major landmass, including 147 independent governments. However, all states are connected to one central government that has housed them in major landmasses. The apparent age of Theta-C is 4.7 billion years, exceeding the Earth's approximate age by around 0.2 billion years. The development of both anaerobic and anaerobic life assisted in the creation of this planet's ozone layer, although aquatic-based lifeforms were more prominent in Theta-C's development of sentient life. Its gravitational force is 9.582 meters per second squared, just below that of Earth. Each day on Theta-C is just above 24 Earth hours. For every two centuries on Theta-C, there is approximately one additional Earth Day. Inhabitants of Theta-C are a sentient race of semi-aquatic bipedal humanoids. They have a chitin-scale aggregate above their epidermis, with the majority of their internal organ systems being similar to that of humans. Through glands above their sternum, similar to gills, they are able to maintain a limited ability to breathe underwater. In contemporary Theta-C society, however, civilization is land-based, with very few underwater establishments, and all establishments of this type are research-centered. Philosophy of Theta-C largely revolves around olfactory expansion and the resulting effects on cognition. Institutions of Theta-C believe that taste is the most fundamental sensory experience in existence, and as such, provides the most connection with the universe around them. Religious institutions are based on schools of thought on the effects of culinary design and their relations of cognition. There is no mention of the belief of a deity. Theta-C's technology advance past that of the foundations, as interactions have related. Theta-C's inhabitants show a strong desire for travel and knowledge, and thus utilize SCP-2047 to perform a process of solar travel. According to Theta-C, instances of SCP-2047 can be found in many solar systems around the universe, sent out to planets of highly similar physical qualities. Using these, they travel system to system, exchanging planets. It was stated that Earth was far from the first to undergo an exchange, although Theta-C has also expressed a reluctance to continue this practice, after observing the detriment caused to Earth. Supplement 2047-F The former solar system, prior to the event 2047-1, contained a single main sequence star of 1.0034 solar masses. It was home to six planets, including two terrestrial worlds in addition to Earth, and three gas giants. All planets in the solar system were named for deities in Roman and Greek mythology. Their names were, starting closest to the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Hera, Jupiter, and Pluto. A seventh planet, Neptune, was found in the asteroid belt between Mercury and Venus in the earliest part of the 20th century. But due to the recent discovery of several similarly sized worlds beyond Pluto, including Athena, which was 1.7 times the size of Neptune, it was decided to reclassify these worlds and Neptune as dwarf planets. For more information on our previous solar system, supplement 2047-K, along with document collection Thay, are recommended reading. The primary focus of this supplement, however, is to provide information and exploration effort to the previous solar system, and cultural impact on the changes enacted by the residents of Theta-C, specifically that of moon exploration programs. It should be noted that Earth's original moon was similar in composition of that of its new system, though the topography was drastically different, as outlined in document collection by. The space program of the United States in 1969 placed men on the moon. However, it became apparent that future exploration of our solar system would need to take place in Earth orbit or from the surface of the moon. After the conclusion of the Apollo program of the Apollo 17 in late 1972, the Minerva missions were undertaken to place a permanent human presence on the moon. With few exceptions, including the resupply mission Minerva-18, which exploded just after takeoff in December 29, 1972, this program was a stunning success. The original program was discontinued in January 1973, mostly due to the loss of Minerva-18. Private contractors began providing manpower and technology for most resupply missions, and the Minerva bases were considered an integral centerpiece to an era of stability and world peace, beginning in 1973. By that time, approximately 2,500 individuals of various nationalities lived in a number of lunar bases. Beyond the religious ramification of the exchange itself, the cultural impact of losing these accomplishments was a primary catalyst for the eventual societal breakdowns.
