He is paying $1,400. Why? Zambians ask the question, why? You promise that you reduce the price to $250, but you are making the government pay 40% more. Why? Who is paying the post of a Zambian farmer, Babu Adia, the one who called? He promised the Zambian people, he said, I'm going to make sure there is free education from necessary to tertiary. Today how many children were given buzzeries? 20% of all the ones who qualified, $2,000 only. All right? $2,000. Why? Now he's changing and he's saying, no, I didn't say that I'm going to provide free education. I said I'm going to have access to quality education. My heavens, are you saying things as though you think that Zambians are so myopic that they have amnesia? That they forget? All these things are recorded. All these things are there. He told the Zambian people that he's going to reduce the price of you. I told you about that. Instead he has increased it. What the Zambian people must do is prepare themselves starting now. The only thing I can say, and again I don't want to annoy you, but the only thing I can say from the bottom of my heart is that President Hagainde managed to deceive the Zambian people. His victory was victory of deceit. The Minister of Finance has reacted to some of these concerns that you are raising, that some stakeholders have also been raising. He's indicated clearly that they are raising a foundation, they're building a foundation that will bring about prosperity in the country, putting up policies that might seem to be tougher now, but later on barefoot. At what point did President Hagainde or any of his people, even Musokotwani, go to the Zambian people during the campaign and say, Zambians, we're going to increase prices of fuel because the economy is bad. We'll increase the prices of fuel, we'll not give bazaaris to children because the economy is bad. We'll make sure that you tighten your belts, you have one meal per day so that we can improve the economy in five years. Where did you say that? We're talking about what they said, what convinced Zambians to vote for them. This which is coming up now is just self-defense for failure. All right?  What would you say Honorable Minda? What would you say would be the best alternative in dealing with the issue of subsidies because we know how complex this might be? It is not even complex, my friend. This is a very simple matter. Read the PF manifesto. It answers these questions. I told you how we were going to address the issue of fuel prices. We're going to recapitalize in deni so that we can produce fuel. All right? Number two, as regards millimio, we said that we are going to open the borders to export maize and millimio and from that we'll end 10% export duty. So that if we are ending that 10% export duty, where is that money going? That is the same money that we'll be using to subsidize the farmer. So that the farmer can produce more. All right? Electricity. And by the way, Zambians, I would like to inform you, we know for a fact that this 30% increase in fuel was just a marginal increase. The increase is yet coming. As soon as we are done with the elections in Kabuata, I can assure you Hargaende is going to increase the price of fuel more. Again? Again. Electricity. You heard what they are saying. We want to come up with cost-reflective tariffs. If you read the PF manifesto, do you know what we said? We said now that we are reaching the equilibrium on energy, we are managing to produce as much energy as we require to run our industry. We are now going to invest in Batoka to increase the production so that we do what? We export excess power. If we export excess power, we earn revenue. That revenue is what is going to subsidize the local market. That's what thinkers do. Thinkers don't go and punish their own people. Look, I can give you another example. We said we are going to charge mineral royalty tax. And you know that this year alone we end $600 million from mineral royalty tax. What has Mr. Balidan? He has said we are going to make mineral royalty tax deductible. And Musokotwan in parliament, I couldn't believe minister of finance going to parliament and saying no, we have not done away with mineral royalty tax. What we have done is just to make it tax deductible. What does it mean when you make a tax deductible? What it means, my dear friend, is that if this company pays $100 million as mineral royalty tax, at the end of the year if they make a profit and on that profit income tax is $200 million, what will you do? You will not collect the $200 million. You deduct the $100 million that was paid to the government as mineral royalty tax and only collect $100 million as income tax. What does that mean? Did you collect mineral royalty tax? No. You take with one hand and give with the other and you say we are not removing mineral royalty tax. That's exactly what you have done. And in addition, this government, the first 100 days when they are supposed to be celebrating the first 100 days they reduce corporate tax from 35% to 30%. Giving money to their friends because these guys are businessmen. The majority of the people in Bali's government are businessmen. They are giving themselves tax rebate, 5%. What about for you? The worker, they only increased your tax-free threshold from 4,000 to 4,500 kwach. Isn't that commendable? Commendable? I don't think that the workers out there will be happy with you. 12% increment for silver servers, not commendable. You increase 12% on their salaries and increase on their fuel by 30%. What have you done? What have you done? When we left government, millimu was 150. Today if you go in shops, millimu is 175 kwach. What is the 12%? You say we are giving now no PTFs, no school fees. Fine, no school fees. But we are going to increase the cost of you taking your children to school because all of them have to drive to school. I heard minister Musokotwani saying no, this increase will not affect farmers. It will not affect people in villages. Are you sure? The people in villages, how do they plow? How do farmers plow if it's not with fuel? Are you sure that those villagers walk to hospitals? Their children learn in their village, in their house? No. What's your take on the CDF allocation from 1.6 to 25.7? For me that is just a smoke screen. It's actually abuse of members of parliament. Serious abuse. And again it is because these people do not even understand the genesis of CDF. CDF came about as a way of a private members' motion. Two members of parliament raised the issue of CDF and they were complaining that look President Chiluba, you have this slush fund which you are using to give to churches and so on. But for us when we go to constituencies people are also asking us and we don't have. All right? That's how the CDF came about. Now you go and make a member of parliament also become the executive to start implementing projects. You heard what Musokotone was saying when they were winding up debate. Now you are going to the constituencies. You shall be followed with 25.7 million. So members of parliament you now have to go and construct schools, you have to go and construct clinics, you have to go and give buzzerings to pupils and you have to replace the PTA funds and good heavens. If a member of parliament is going to become part of the executive is going to execute projects who is going to perform the oversight role. Who? Tell me this member of parliament, Clement Tembo, incoming member of parliament for my constituency. When I see him on the street, what will I say to him? Clement Tembo, can you please make sure that that clinic is done? All right? And then he goes to that clinic and does a bad job of it. Then he goes to parliament and his ministry of health to be debated. Are you sure Clement Tembo will stand up and say, I am a member of parliament elected by the people of Kawata and you minister of health, can you explain? Will he do that? He will become promised because he was part and parcel of the decision to provide that clinic. There are committees that are there, CDF committees. Last week I was having a conversation with the minister of water development, Hon. Mike Imposhia, who also indicated that these, they are committees at constituency level that have been constituted in various constituencies that are dispiating these things. Of course I remember parliament is part of that committee. I was minister of justice when we came up with the constituency development fund act. So I understand it very well. All right? I understand it very well. And at the time that we were coming up with that act, it was because the money that we're talking about was only 1.6 million, which was meant to be used as a compliment. It was only a compliment for small projects, not for members of parliament to go and start constructing schools for goodness sake. No. So you should have been maintained at the same? As a matter of fact, the members of parliament are now going to be even more impoverished because even they are 1.6 million that they were getting. Oh sorry, I shouldn't say ka. Chi. I'm joking with you. Even that 1.6 million which they were getting. Now will not be there at all. So the members of parliament really are now just going to be abused as far as I'm concerned. And I supported members of parliament in the patriotic front who said please we don't have capacity as members of parliament. What this government is doing is just to hoodwink people. All right? They are hoodwinking people. I can assure you that this coming year they may be able to give the 25.7 million. Do you know why? Because from August up to date, they've stopped paying suppliers. This is the reason why you don't see people anymore spending money. Suppliers, contractors and so on have not been paid because President Bali has said accumulate money, keep it. So that I can make an impression in January I give CDF. It will happen in 2022. I can assure it will not happen in 2023 because then they will have understood how government treasury operates. You don't bank government money and keep it in a chibagi and will spend it in January. No, government money goes in and goes out immediately. All right? Except for your foreign reserves. ZDRA is collecting money to pay salaries, to pay all contractors, but they are holding onto it to try and impress in January. And by the way, I was very surprised talking about these ideas of being deceitful. You tell the Zambian people, sorry, the reason why we're only giving bazaaris to 20% is because we're using Ed Galungu's budget. Whenever things go wrong is Ed Galungu. Even the things that Ed Galungu did, if it's good, it's yours.  Opening our airports. Yes, beautiful airport without saying credit to the PF. Ha? They shall get tired because the list of projects that we left for them to commission is a lot. And each time the commission will be clapping, well done PF. These guys, the only job they have is just to go and commission, not to bring in anything new. How can a person say the money we're going to spend on loans to students is the 2021 budget? Are you sure that now as we're coming to December, there is money which is in the budget for 2021, which will be transferred into 2022? There's nothing like that. It is their budget which will finance those scholarships. It's them who planned wrong. And they want to try and weaken zambians. And they think that zambians are so gullible. My friend, I talk to you about all these strange economic policies they are coming about. President Hagaende, and I'm afraid I have to talk about him because he was the chief campaigner for himself. He was working around with a spreadsheet showing you on television spreadsheet. I have the formula. I have the formula. Zambians believed, hey, this man, when he comes kuzankala formula to change the whole thing, he comes into state house. The formula is gone. The formula is lost. Instead, he's overtaxing zambians. Look, besides the fuel price, you know that they have increased road tax? Yes? And that will not affect youths as far as Musokotoni is concerned. It won't affect villagers as far as Musokotoni is concerned. They have increased road tax. They have also increased presumptive tax on taxis by 11 percent. And as far as President Bali is concerned, he is bringing down the cost of living. To my surprise, big surprise in a country where only 2 percent of the zambians are insured and all the property you see in Zambia only about 2 or 3 percent is insured. Motor vehicles, if you go out, go to Ratsa and ask, most of the motor vehicles in Zambia are insured third party because of the law. People don't insure in Zambia. They don't. And we in the patriotic front were saying we must make sure that zambians insure. That's how we came up with a crop insurance of 1 percent to make sure that we protect people. This government has decided to increase levy on insurance premiums. We left it at 3 percent. They have increased it to 16 percent. So my friend, if you are insuring your car and your premium on your third party was the only 500 kwacha. Now my friend, it is going to be 500 plus 16 percent close to 660 kwacha. That's what is going to be the cost of insurance. Are you sure people insure? Now people will start buying premium on a daily basis. And when there are accidents, what will happen? Is this a government that is living up to its word? No. Let's close there a lot of issues that we can talk about. Let's close before I bring in because I want also Mr. Clement. Mr. Clement Tembo in a minute or so to just speak to our viewers tonight. But before it comes through, very interesting matter of street vending. This has been a very interesting subject for my president at the late Michael Sata attempted at some point to get rid of street vending which never worked. The new donors made some directives to get rid of street vending. This hasn't been received well by members of the public. I think this was expected I think the question that is needed to be answered here is what is the best strategy in dealing with the issue of street vending? Zambians are starting to realize that it was a big mistake to vote out the PF. And a lot of people are saying we did not vote for UPND we voted against PF. And it so happened that the only party that benefited from our voting against PF was UPND. Because a lot of people have come to realize that the PF doesn't even have an idea on how to govern. They don't. And over this matter of street vendors it is as though our friends live in Utopia. They live in outer space they don't live in Zambia. For those of us who live in Zambia we know the hardships that those people on the streets are facing. Those people are on those streets not because they desire to be there. That's not the issue. There are other fundamental factors which this government is not capable of understanding. We tried and you're right President Maiko Sata tried. You remember he was saying I'm in the case I'm kuchapa. He didn't hide. Even in the campaign he said I'll come and clean Zambia. I'll come and sweep the streets. He told street vendors but once we were in government he came to realize that wait a minute these people I want to kick out of the streets have families to take care of. All right. Something he didn't realize before. He didn't realize that before and this is the beauty with a person like President Maiko Chufiasat. All right. Once he was in government he understood and he quickly changed his position. He did not tell the people I'll keep you here during the campaign to win his vote. No. That's what the kind of man he is. He's not deceitful. Deceitful people are the ones who tell people yes in the road shows you will stay here and then when they form government they say get out. Those are deceitful people. A person who tells you Chiluba remember? Chiluba when he was going around campaigning you're saying Zambians are you ready to sacrifice? And all of us were saying yes. Remember? What about Bali? Bali was not telling people I'm coming to sacrifice. Bali was telling people when I come I am the panacea of all your problems. I shall solve all your problems and people fail for that deceit. But now his true colors are showing. He lives in Utopia.  They must be taken. I don't know where. The solution is to leave them there. No. The solution is what the PR had already started. You saw that huge millennium market. Right? The Simon Moewa? Yes. The Simon Moewa lane. Why were we building that? We were building that because we wanted our brothers and sisters to have a place where they can go and trade decently. You don't just wake up and say come on soldiers remove these people. Where are they going? Where are you taking them to? So it's to create alternatives. You create alternatives and the PF government which is a proper government already started doing that. And I can assure you in five years 2026 when government comes back PF comes back into power. You are going back into power. I have no doubt in my mind. I have no doubt whatsoever.  Watch the space. Just watch the space. Look at how formidable the patriotic front is. Remember what I said? People did not vote for UPND. People voted against the PF because of the various reasons I gave you at the beginning of this program. And we are determined to learn from our past. We are determined to become even better as a political party and as individuals in the political party. And because of our lessons when we do come back in 2026 by the will of the people of Zambia we will form an even stronger and better government who will do things even better than we did in the last 10 years when we were in government. Honorable Winda, thank you so much for coming through on the last edition of the platform for the year 2020. You've been my last guest for this year on this platform. Thank you very much indeed and thank you for inviting me. I hope that the people out there have learned a thing or two from our interaction and I have to say if the word kaa is not very nice on this television I will learn. I will not use it ever again with anybody. I will find a better way of expressing things like that. But on a serious note thank you very much for hosting me on your last platform for the year. I look forward to your invitation in the new year and as we part company I would like to seize this opportunity to wish you and millennium television millennium radio and to wish all your viewers and your listeners a very prosperous 2022. I hope that all of us who by the grace of God be allowed to enter 2022 happily. There are going to be challenges but the challenges as a result of how we voted unfortunately and we hope that things can only get get better and not worse. I also would like to wish President Bali President Againde and his team prosperous 2022. We in the patriotic front are going to be a very responsible opposition who will not oppose just because want to oppose. Our members of parliament will not walk out of parliament just because they think they can walk out of parliament We are going to give very effective checks and balances for the president of the Republic of Zambia so that he can deliver on his promises. We are also going to get all the articles that he was using to campaign so that we can remind him in case he has forgotten so that he can deliver on his promise for the betterment of the Zambian people. Thank you very much for having me and thank you for allowing Clement Tembo to also come and greet the people of Kabwata constituency.


Other People's Money and How the Bankers Use It by Lewis D. Brandeis Reading by D. S. Harvey Chapter 1. Our Financial Oligarchy President Wilson, when Governor, declared in 1911, quote, The great monopoly in this country is the money monopoly. So long as that exists, our old variety and freedom and individual energy of development are out of the question. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities, are in the hands of a few men who, even if their actions be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money is involved and who, necessarily, by every reason of their own limitations, chill and check, and destroy genuine economic freedom. This is the greatest question of all, and to this, statesmen must address themselves with an earnest determination to serve the long future and the true liberties of men, end quote. The Pujo Committee, appointed in 1912, found, quote, Far more dangerous than all that has happened to us in the past in the way of elimination of competition in industry is the control of credit through the domination of these groups over our banks in industries, end quote. Quote, whether under a different currency system the resources in our banks would be greater or less is comparatively immaterial if they continue to be controlled by a small group. It is impossible that there should be competition with all the facilities for raising money or selling large issues of bonds in the hands of these few bankers and their partners and allies, who together dominate the financial policies of most of the existing systems. The acts of this inner group, as here described, have nevertheless been more destructive of competition than anything accomplished by the trusts, for they strike at the very vitals of potential competition in every industry that is under their protection, a condition which, if permitted to continue, will render impossible all attempts to restore normal competitive conditions in the industrial world. If the arteries of credit now clogged well nigh to choking by the obstructions created through the control of these groups are opened so that they may be permitted freely to play their important part in the financial system, competition in large enterprises will become possible and business can be conducted on its merits instead of being subject to the tribute and the goodwill of this handful of self-constituted trustees of the national prosperity. The promise of new freedom was joyously proclaimed in 1913. The facts which the Pujo Investigating Committee and its Able Council, Mr. Samuel Untermeyer, have laid before the country show clearly the means by which a few men control the business of America. The report proposes measures which promise some relief. Additional remedies will be proposed. Residents will soon be called upon to act. How shall the emancipation be wrought? On what lines shall we proceed? The facts, when fully understood, will teach us. The Dominant Element The dominant element in our financial oligarchy is the investment banker. Associated banks, trust companies, and life insurance companies are his tools. The railroads, public service, and industrial corporations are his subjects. Though properly but middlemen, these bankers bestride as masters America's business world so that practically no large enterprise can be undertaken successfully without their participation or approval. These bankers are, of course, able men, possessed of large fortunes, but the most potent factor in their control of business is not the possession of extraordinary ability or huge wealth. The key to their power is combination, concentration intensive and comprehensive, advancing on three distinct lines. First, there is the obvious consolidation of banks and trust companies. Sample complete. Ready to continue?

Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey, guys, everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Access to Trader.com nightly update show. Everybody is doing well. I want to welcome aboard all the new folks who are joining us this week that took advantage or taking advantage of the Black Friday Cyber Monday Trial Special. Again, for all you don't know, we have a trial that is heavily discounted and for all you guys, it's basically for all you guys who are thinking about pivots. Is this something for me? Is this something that fits with my account size, risk tolerance? There's only one way to find out. Again, I've been saying this for years. I don't believe pivots are for everybody. I don't. It's a very patient way to trade. There's only six candles throughout the day. But if it's something that you are contemplating or thinking about it, again, we have two more days left. So you can take advantage of this. I think the trial is 50, 60%, 70% off, whatever it is. So just come in, kick the tires around 30 days, ask a lot of questions, see the price action live so you can understand it in front of your face. So there is, I promise you, there's no edits. There's no, nobody's pulling any wool over the shoulder. It's just price action and technical analysis. If you are interested, we have two days left so you guys can take advantage. So let's talk about the take, right? So as you possibly know, unless you don't, market's been up, right? Market's been very, very strong. And bears have been very frustrated because people were screaming, the market was overbought. After two days, if you guys go back two and a half, three weeks ago, I made a video and I saw people talking about after day two of reclaiming the 50-day moving average to the market was overbought. Yeah, that was three weeks ago. That was when the cues were at 364. Now the cues went as high as 393.  However, right? However, this is where we start to look at the tape a little bit more responsibly, with a little bit more of hesitation to chase past performance. The past performance has now been three and a half weeks of incredible market structure, a very rabid bull scenario into the last month of the year. Any of your favorite cold stocks have been going nuts. Amazon, Apple, this one, that one, they've just been all over the place. But we start looking for signs. Again, I trade the market on a day-to-day basis. I don't try to predict where it's going to be three weeks from now, three days from now. I'm trying to pick up the pieces. I'm trying to get all the data to figure out where the market is going to be tomorrow and where can we take advantage of potential areas of, well, a rug pole. Right? I know it's crazy. I know it's nuts to say. But hear me out for a second. Right? So far, in this three, three and a half a week run, we haven't seen, we literally have not seen a lower high that's followed through. We've seen instances of three days, three days in the last three and a half weeks, that the market has attempted to take out the previous day's range and the rising five-day support saved that we started running up again. Now, if you look at the last three days, what do we have in common in the last three days? Right, guys? So here's the last big move here. We've got out of the whole channel. And the last three days in a row, four days in a row, have been red bars. What is a red bar in the Japanese candlesticks? That means the close is lower than the open. Right? When you see a green bar, that means the close is higher than the open. So we have three days in a row of the close lower than the open. Now, is that crazy? Is this the top of the market? No, no, no, no, no. But it's something for us to pay attention to. And if you notice the last three days or four days, the market's been holding on to the five-day moving average. For our brand new to the channel, the five-day moving average is the shortest term sentiment. It doesn't mean this is the top. It doesn't mean we can go higher. It just means that the market has been putting in four days in a row of lower close and opens, and we've been holding on to the five-day. So that's where we start the nightly update. We have to play doubles advocate. We can't trade as euphoric knuckleheads running like chickens without heads. Things get tired, right? The same way, again, the seller's got tired on the sell-off here at October 26. When we had this massive V-shaped recovery, we're starting to get a little bit tired here. Now, the question is, can we get through the five-day? That's what we need to be prepared for. There's definitely a lot of stocks that still look good. They're still rallying. They're still very, very strong. But this is where we start looking at the market for a little bit more clues. Is it possible if we get a back test? Now, again, the back test doesn't necessarily have to happen tomorrow. It doesn't have to happen Wednesday. Hell, it doesn't have to happen, right? That's exactly the conversation we had right here when we fell back into the five-day moving average. The problem is here, for the bears, it never confirmed. So here we are again, right? We're going sideways now, and if you notice here, and write this down, write down this number going into tomorrow's session, just writing down this number for the rest of the week. So the QQQs have held 388 now back-to-back days. Everybody see that? 388.50 was the low from Friday. 388.28 was the low from this morning. So this is where the Qs are. 388 is held back-to-back days, and that's also the five-day moving average. I know it sounds crazy. I know it sounds nuts. But what happens if the bears actually reclaim back that 388 level? Well, that's going to happen. It's not going to be the end of the world. It's not going to be Armageddon. But that's one of those days that if you are a euphoric, permeable trader and you say, oh, this market's going to go to the moon. The market will never go down. This is where your legs get chopped up underneath you if you don't understand or understand the ramifications of big levels. Although the five-day is not a big level in the whole dynamics of what's going on, but again, I don't trade from three weeks from now. I'm trading for tomorrow. I'm trying to take advantage of tomorrow's session. And if you look at, even though today we did get above the previous days high and spiked up another 67 cents or so, again, we close lower than this channel here. If you look at the Friday's close, we close 389.51. Today we close at 389.18. So my point is be aware, okay? Be cautious. It doesn't necessarily have to happen. Again, I still believe that there's a lot of value in this tape. It's just a scenario that you have to be very, very conscious, right? You have to be very conscious. And if you don't know your levels or nobody's going to turn around and sit down to you and say, hey, by the way, watch the five-day moving average. If you're a novice trader and you have nobody whispering proper guidance into your ear, yeah, this is one of those days that if there is a rock pole, again, it doesn't have to happen, but if there is a rock pole, you better understand your levels. You're going to give back three, four, five days, two weeks worth of gains, literally on one cannonball. We see this all the time happens when people are not prepared for a potential backside move, and that's very, very important. So then we have to start looking at stocks within the QQQs to give us more clues. Well, let's look at two of them, right? Let's look at two of them. So let's look at Apple, okay? Apple and Microsoft arguably the two biggest ways on the Nasdaq 100, right? I think the third was Intel. I could be wrong. But Apple and Microsoft, they're definitely the top three, four, okay? So look at Apple, okay? Apple, again, the same thing, gassed out, right? Gassed out, lost the five-day, and the only thing that held in the last couple of days was the 10-day moving average. Everybody see that? Now, what happens to Apple loses that 10-day? Do you think there might be a little bit of ramifications what happens to the rest of the Nasdaq 100? Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, but maybe it does, right? So if you look at the 10-day, and that's the green day, if Apple starts losing the 10-day moving average, that is a lot of room down. Again, if there is a rock pool, you know, Apple's not going to go down 50 cents. And if the QQs lose that 388 level, you know, Apple's not going to go down 50 cents. There's room here. There's room all the way down to 185.20. So it's something we definitely want to watch. Look at Meta.  Ugly reversal today in the middle of the day.  And guess what? It closed on the 10-day as well, okay? So what happens if Meta starts losing this bottom channel here? You see it? It held the 11-20 lows, the same area that we held today's lows. What happens if we start losing the 10-day moving average? Guys, there's $7, $8 for a potential back test on Meta. So that's my point, right? You have to go through the NASDAQ 100 or go through any names that you trade. Again, my specialty is the mega cap technology space. You might be trading oil names. You might be trading, you know, consumer cyclicals. Who knows? We are driving choices. But the point is start looking for clues. These are my clues in the space that I trade. It's your job as a trader to whatever group or whatever specialty you are trading. Make sure that you know exactly the dynamics of where your specific group is, where your specific stocks are. And when you look at Apple and when you look at Meta and you start going through another list, right? You start looking at other names, for example, right? Like look in the video. Although there was a lot of call buying coming in the video and it never took out, never confirmed the previous range, look how close this thing is sitting to the bottom of the channel. Look at Tesla, right? You know, I'm waiting for Tesla to break out one way or another, but the point is, right, the longer Tesla can go higher, well, maybe it goes lower, but maybe it goes higher. And it's a very, very sneaky stock compared to everything else. If you guys notice, Tesla has been one of those weird names. I'm actually watching it for both sides tomorrow, both up and down. Today, there was nothing there. It gave us a bounce play a little bit later in the day. But this is one of those scenarios that is getting super-duper tight. And if you look at the last couple of times, the Tesla was very, very tight sitting above the five-day moving average, right? Take a snapshot, right? Take a snapshot of the two candles here that are sitting above the five-day moving average, right? Back-to-back days. Now, look at what happened here on 11, 17, 11, 18. Same thing. So tomorrow, if Tesla could reclaim back, right, reclaim back the 50-day moving average, and this is where it's having its trouble, maybe Tesla could wake up as well. But the flip side, look at the bottom channel as well. It's not out of the realm as well. So we're getting into a little bit of a kind of... I don't want to use the word tired area, but a little bit of more of a pregnant pause. We've used that word before when talking about price action. Maybe sellers getting a little bit more aggressive. Maybe buyers are getting a little more tired. But it's something we definitely want to watch the next couple of days. If the market does start to gas out a little bit, guys, the last thing you want to do is not be prepared. If you look at today's session again, people complaining, inflation, high interest rates. Boy, oh boy, look at the holiday shopping season so far. You got Shopify, what nuts? Amazon actually did very well today. And then when we talked about Amazon on the weekend video, it did very, very well today. Some of these other online retailers, right? You got Etsy on a very strong day as well. So as much as we talk about the economy, it stinks and this and that and the third, the bottom line is that people are still spending money whether they're maxing out their credit cards. So little Johnny could have a new pair of Air Jordans. Hey, that's all personal preference. But the point is the proof is in the pudding and holiday sales so far have been strongly embraced. Again, a lot of really great sales if you look around and if you started doing your holiday shopping. So let's talk about today's pivots. Most of them are pretty aggressive. Some of them didn't confirm. If you look, it was a lot of the smaller names. When I say smaller names, not the Roku is a smaller name, but it's not something I typically I'm dying to do. But boy, oh boy, Roku had a monster move today. Roku upgraded in 9650 needs to build. Here was Roku. Here was Roku just absolutely when nuts. I believe we talked about Roku on the weekly update. I think they got upgraded by, I forgot who, but they got upgraded to a Roblox 3833 needs to build. Nice move on Roblox, nothing crazy and nice move. Again, I think we talked about this on the weekend update. Took out the 10 day moving average, ran up to like 39 and change. Nice looking chart if it continues to grind, looks pretty good here. On the video, again, held the pre-market lows, held the opening range lows, didn't give us a trade to the downside. Doesn't mean it was going to go higher, but didn't go down, kind of stuck in the middle of the range. And AFRM, again, AFRM, if you guys don't know what they do, they are basically by now, pay later. They work with Amazon. I'm sure they work with a lot of other online retailers. And again, with this online season kicked off really, really well. And AFRM is obviously a really good, getting a lot of good traction behind this. AFRM needs to confirm 2750 pre-market highs. AFRM, when nuts, it absolutely when nuts. It took out the pre-market highs and stock traded all the way up to $30, $35 move on a $20 stock is pretty darn good. And I believe that is it, right? I believe that is it. So going into tomorrow, guys, again, just write down, write down 388, right? Write down 388, because again, you need to be prepared. Remember, the market is, it does the same thing all the time. It's never as good as you think, and it's never as bad as you think. Case in point to sell off into October, which we miraculously turned around and now that we're here. And believe me, the market is not going to go, hey, buddy, we're going to sell off now. Maybe you want to start taking off your position. They're just going to do it. And that's the most important part. Guys, again, everybody, thank you very much for coming aboard, kicking the tires, trying this out. Again, if you are interested in learning about pivots, again, you have a couple of days to take advantage. And I'd like to see new friends. I'd like to see people with open minds and most important, ready to work. Guys, God bless. Have a great day, and I will see you all tomorrow.


Welcome back. It's still the breakfast and plus TV Africa. We're glad to have you still there watching and for us being a part of our conversation Well, I'm sure you already know by now that the presidential candidate of Labour Party The Labour Party Mr. Peter OB has filed his petition to challenge the victory of Borla Tinnable of the All Progressives Congress in the February 25 General Election. Mr. OB who came third in the election filed his petition to challenge the outcome of the poll at the presidential election Petitions Court in Abuja at about midnight on Tuesday. He alleged that the election was characterised by various irregularities including the non-qualification of Mr. Tinnable and his running mate Qashem Shatima to contest that particular election. He also is alleging that Mr. Tinnable failed to win the majority of the lawful votes cast at the election or in the election just as he could not secure one quarter of the lawful votes cast in the federal capital territory FCT Abuja. Mr. OB is also alleging that the election was conducted in substantial non-compliance with the provisions of the laws. Labour Party's candidate is therefore urging or preying the court to either declare him the president-elect in the belief that he secured or scored the majority of the lawful votes during the election or nullify the entire election and order a fresh election. He is saying joining us to provide some context and the background to this of course we know the case is now before the presidential elections petition court so we will be going into the substance and the details to know who is guilty, who is not guilty. Director of public affairs and lead spokesman, the Big Tent, he is also a member of the Labour Party's presidential campaign council and also the convener of the country first movement I'm talking about Chris Wokobia. Chris Wokobia, thank you very much for your time and good morning to you once again. Good morning, my pleasure to be on with you. One of the questions I mean I've been wanting to ask and a lot of people would like to know is the Labour Party's legal team led by Dr Levi Uzoku Essayen paid a visit to the INEC headquarters where they met with the chairman of INEC, Professor Mamoudi Akubu who told them that INEC had nothing to hide but for their application or their move to inspect the sensing materials as granted by court including the beavers as a court order. The INEC chairman had directed the legal team to go to the states. Last time I checked they couldn't even get up to the nine states that they applied for. They had gotten the certified copies of two states. What is the status as we speak? What information and data, what exhibits is the OB legal team heading to this presidential election petition court with following the difficulties that they had in getting these things from INEC? First, let me say as I address this fundamental issue that the legal team is unwilling to disclose all the details that we have but interestingly, like we told the courts yesterday, they have enough information, enough facts and figures, enough evidence and data to obtain the election. The first thing the good team is asking for is for Peter Gregg Robey to be declared the buried winner of the 25th of February election and there are many things that the election, the declared void and the fresh election are conducted. And these are fundamental issues because across the country the election was largely flawed. We witness the greatest electoral malfeasance in our country's history. We witness untold electoral lassemin and that is why since the election was announced, Nigeria has been like a graveyard, it's been some sort of silence of the graveyard. Nigerians know that the candidate the voter for was not announced and Peter Gregg Robey has told us not to resort to illegal protocols or means in our call for the retaining of his mandate. But interestingly, we have a fantastically good team and Peter Gregg Robey is a fantastic fighter. You remember that, that was how he got his mandate in an umbrella state. Also remember that when the tenure was allegedly over, he went back to court. It was true Peter would be that we have what we call staggered elections now because he would have to do your four years constitutional mandate. So I think that when lethargic were not covered, were not lazy about the protocol and the process of getting back this mandate. We're also aware that if the president selects, permit my use of words, if the president selects, selected by INEC, were popular, he wouldn't be going around begging people and asking people to talk to Peter Gregg Robey and threatening those who are aspiring for senate presidency that if they do not reveal on their brother quote unquote from the southeast they will not give the position of senate president to the people from the southeast. I think all those black men will say where the judiciary is done with this job. Mr. Oko, before we move on to the next question, but these allegations that we here can substantiate, yes we would like to put that out there. But we just want to know as at March 10, Dr. Levi Ozoku, SA and the legal team of 60 lawyers had gotten the certified true copies of INEC results from only two states. I think some days ago, two days ago they were in an emo state, so I don't know if that's now three. This is a subject of an petition to the appeal court saying give us leave to inspect senate secretaries. And it was a subject of appeal by INEC. Do you have an idea? Can you tell us how many states availed your legal team of the information you wanted, just so we know? Like I said, I've said it now and I'm certain that we may not be willing to disclose all the details we have. But the information uploaded to the IRA is there. The information from our party agent is there. The ones who've been able to get from the state INEC offices are there. And clearly, I'm quoting one of the lines in the petition that will put me, clearly our legal team has enough sufficient evidence according to lawyers to pursue this case. And you know that was ticked off for details and facts. We are not going to arm the opposition. When they have the details of our petition, they will respond to it. But these are matters in the courts. So I know that every Nigerian, and let me give you a quick instance. INEC has set guidelines. INEC has regulations. The Electoral Act provides for certain electoral amenities. In every respect, INEC has even admitted at some point that there were glitches in the conduct of the 25th of February elections. The facts are glaring. The facts are lucid. So as we talk, what is important is for Nigerians to watch the legal bridge-backs and legal fireworks and with better breath, see for our lawyers and show that the justices who will sit on the matter do justice a quest for a mandate. Because I want to say without equivocation, the Nigerians and indeed the masses of our people, the international community and everybody watching agrees that Peter Grave will be won the February 25th election. Well, you know, if you look at some of the prayers that's been prayed, although we have said that this case is subjudice and then we can talk about this, you also cannot also ignore the fact that some of the issues are not entirely connected to the entire elections. And so we know that you have some that are connected. Well, the prayers are in different dimensions. However, I'd like to ask you if you do believe in the judiciary at the end of the day to see a positive outcome or to see an outcome that a lot of Nigerians would say, hey, because I mean, it feels like it's in the majority, would say is speaking for the people or the fate in the judicial system, especially with the time. So I'd like to cite an example. Remember that the late Ghani Faimis, he had a case against Tunibu at the Supreme Court and was kicked out on technicality as a result of him being a governor and hands immune from persecution. So when we talk about the judiciary, we also look at the fact that in terms of putting out justice or, you know, the entire process, we seem to have a lot of delay in the judicial process. And do you see that there can be any positive light at the end of the day before the swearing in? Because one of the reasons why Tunibu was not sworn in, I mean, one of the reasons why that case didn't happen at the time was because he was a governor and he had impunity. And so when you get to a case where he's sworn in, he becomes president. We're looking at all of this now. So do you see the judiciary leaving up to expectation, you know, before the swearing in date? Let me quickly say that Nigerians are anxious to see injustice done before the swearing in. Your question is very opposite. Nigerians want a new dispensation of proactive judiciary where, at the end of the day, nobody who has a stolen mandate is sworn in. And I think the judiciary will be fussed about it because, indeed, couriers are fired within time and they understand the urgency of now. Increasingly and interestingly, let me say that before now, the fears about perhaps the judiciary bongling the entire process have been thrown away by the fact that I've said about Peter Gregory B, I've said it now in certain terms, faith that the judiciary would do right. And I've said at several forums that my confidence is predicated on the fact that with the facts that we have, if the devil were to be a judge in this matter, the devil would be free, fair and do justice. Because the facts that we have are monumental. The facts that we have are concrete. But let me say that we... Hello? We can hear you. Go ahead. Walk over here. Hello? Yes, we can hear you. Chris, go ahead. Okay. Let me say clearly that what I expect is that the judiciary will be an expeditious in handling this matter because we will want the right candidate. We want the person who won the election to be sworn in on the May 29th. That will resuscitate the hope of the Nigerian people in the electoral process. That will rekindle the faith of the Nigerian people in the democratic process. That will reignite some air of patriotism across the public space. Nigerians want things to be done properly. They want the judiciary that will rise to the ante and do what is proper, try to write. And I believe that they will. And I also believe that they will do that within time. Okay. Thank you very much. Chris, welcome back. I'm glad to say we're being joined by the Director General of the Oregon State Environmental Land Protection Agency. He's also a member of the Presidential Campaign Council 2014-2019 All Progressives Congress. Dr. Brian Moschino, thank you very much for your time. It's good to see you. Your immediate reaction to the news that Peter Obie and Liberal Party have filed their petition challenging the election of Bola Amitibu as President of Nigeria at the Presidential Elections Petition Court. Dr. Shino. Good morning everyone. Good morning to my dear brother, my colleague on the other side of the high. It's not a big deal. Peter Obie can go to any court he wants. That's not news. It's not something special. It's for the mental right. I showed you on the other hand also, it's entitled to file these complaints where will be won. Especially massive living in the South East, in Anambra, where some of his boys are campaigning, like my other friend on the other side. Massively suppressed photos in Anubu, the same thing in play through the same thing in the Habia, the same thing. So many places that will be suppressed, you know, voters and also we have the right as well to defend, you know, those massive rigging by lawyers. I think it's less than a deal for the expression of the filing of the petition. So it's entitled, it's not a big deal. I don't want us to waste more time on Mr. Peter Obie. He's a dissent man. I think he's a great guy. But, you know, we meet in court. So it's not a big deal, you know. But what I want to say here is that none of Obie's presidential campaign council should hang the Nigerian judicial system by preempting or, you know, trying to, you know, discuss or suggest how the outcome will be. They filed their own petition. I think we did the same thing.  You know, we're massively, you know, the rigging machinery of Labour Party where they put through some civil servant and a lot of things. So, you know, if you are rushed to the court, you know, they say if you rush to the court, it doesn't mean you are right. You know, the jurists in Nigeria are qualified to handle such cases. And I can assure you that, you know, Obie should be prepared for 2027. He has done greatly well. He should go and relax.  And some of the decision is taken. Of course, by 2027, you will come into the room and, of course, you know, you will try as best as well. And, you know, it will continue. So, Obie should and his team should be patient. Finally, the petition does not mean you are right. You know, we'll see people rush to the court to fight the last petition at the end of the day. They are thrown out. And there are other partners in PDP, you know, the label and PDP are the, you know, best of the same, the same trouser trouser with different pockets. You know, also, if you look at the pattern of the petition, you will know that both of them are working together. But unfortunately, most of their plan, you know, cut both of them most. So I don't want to lose it. Can you hear me? Can you hear me please? I can hear you very well. That's where almost, I mean, we're really out of time, not almost.  So, as a Nigerian now, not without any affiliation to any political party, would you say, or do you think that these elections, that of the 25th of February and that of the 18th of March, was a free, credible elections that were conducted in accordance with the law? Anyway, I don't know your stakes. In 1993, I don't know if you were able to vote in 1993. If you know, as acclaimed that the election is so superb, is so fantastic, there are pockets of violence in any way, in any democratic setting. Even in United States, you can see Donald Trump in one of the foremost, foremost democratic setting. Donald Trump is saying that there's a massive rigging. There's a vote, some questions in United States. So no democracy will come to you in plain and snowy. Democracy is interest. It's about children. It's context.  So no democracy on this, on this earth that will come 100% perfect. So the last election is credible. If you are saying the election is not credible, how can a sitting, God, no.  In fact, Labour 1-4, GDP cleared all the vote there. You can't know. Can't know what sweep away by NMPP, a party that says no, no councilor, no chairman, no. So I'm trying to look at the parameters you guys are using to judge if the election is not free fail. Can we bring in, before cause of time, Chris and Wokobia. But I think Dr. Oshino, I don't know if you've read the, Dr. Abram, I don't know if you've read the United States Embassy report on the election and EU report as well. But Dr. Oshino, Dr. Wokobia, final thoughts on you. Why can't EU, why can't EU, why can't EU, why can't EU, I'm sure anybody cannot tell you because I am a research fellow and I work with EU. Why can't EU release statements when the United States conduct the election and the sitting president is not allowing the election to happen. Okay, so big question. He's saying there is rigging there. They should release the report on the American election. Okay, sir. All right, sir. Dr. Wokobia, please. Can I respond to my problem? Yes, please, go ahead. We can, let me say that for the first time in our history, politicians are defending one wrong with another supposed wrong. Instead of talking about the flawed election, my brother is talking about what he's supposed to happen in another guy, in emo and all that. Does that make a wrong election right? That's one. Number two, the international community clearly said that the election on the 25th of February was largely flawed. Up until now, his principle is to gain the international community to endorse and acknowledge his victory. Even the devil knows that the election of the 28th of February was monumentally flawed. I don't know why we try to defend the indefensible. It was our task force who said, oh, what a tangled web will we when faced with practice to the seeds. What the APC and the supporters of the president-elect are doing is to try to lie to a nation. Let me give you this quick instance. Very quickly, sir. In 1979, about 44 years ago, when Nigeria's population was barely 100 million, you had no voters. Imagine that. 44 years ago, more voters voting for the presidency than the total number of votes cast 44 years after in 2023. Who's lying to? Who is the civil movement? That election should not stand. Can't stand. Okay, all right, all right. That is the truth. We have to go, gentlemen. Thank you, sir. We must ask that you do anything. In Delta State, where you are. In the Kingdom as a candidate. Let INET conduct a first election at the worst instance. All right. And you see how monumental. Gentlemen, thank you very much. We are grateful for your time. We are grateful for your time. We are not talking about the case here because, of course, we're just talking. Basically, taking your thoughts regarding the election, generally, as we've been talking about the election since it ended. But as for the case in court, before the presidential election, the presidential court, of course, the sanctity of the court, the wisdom of the court is respected, and we're looking forward to seeing the arguments by the various parties and a decision made by the panel of judges at that appeal or court of appeal. Gentlemen, thank you very much for your time. We have to observe for ourselves so that our conscience gives us the signal. We have to state that, sir at this time of the day that the presidential election , that it is under interest to the interior party to crucial places, including Parliament which has reached the senatorial application early this week. The PDP has also filed, I think they beat it some time yesterday, so we have the Action Alliance AA, we have ARM as well, other parties are filing petitions and all that. Thank you gentlemen for your time. You're welcome. All right. We have more discussions coming up next, it's quite interesting, we need to give them one hour to talk about what they think. Well we'll just take a break and when we return we'll probably look at the issue of recycling as this has been a global companion awareness in that regard and how far and what can we do with all of that. I mean all the words that you use is that going to be, you know, another way we can actually be useful or productive with all of this is a conversation we'll be having with an expert. Please stay with us.


When this game ends, there is a sense of emptiness. Of course there's a feeling of accomplishment and joy for Kratos and Atreus. In the post game, you can travel all the realm and take in the vast lore that is littered throughout the Norse world. But you can also return to Sindri's home. Going back to this home forces the characters to relive the tragedy that occurred there. A house that truly felt like a home, with a found family fighting for justice, is now so empty. And that emptiness, what has been taken away from this home, to me, bleeds over into the rest of the game. The shift from Tyr's temple into Sindri's home creates all of these new unique dynamics. Kratos and Brock, Atreus and Sindri, Brock and Sindri, and it allows them to interact in different ways. It also creates a sense of intimacy and family, as they include Freya and Freya, and they all break bread together at the same table, that is now, again, empty. So many of these fast travel entry points are shop points also. You need shops to get better armor to fight, and Lunda is great, but she too is a constant reminder of what has been lost. Two members of the family have been lost, one forever and the other unknown. Brock's colorful language, his comedy, Sindri's joie de vivre, all gone. There is a gaping hole left by the Holger brothers. When Kratos and Atreus met Brock and Sindri in the first game, they were separated. A dispute had created a divide between them for years. A split that hurt the two brothers, but it felt like it affected Sindri a bit more. Brock had belittled his brother and his abilities as he did everybody, but still was the one to check for him. Out of the two, Sindri was clearly the more emotionally charged one, for better or for worse. And this can be applied to just about everything. Sindri loved Fully, and he held grudges with that same intensity. But the Holger brothers had been through so much together, but what united the two was Atreus and the late Fae. Fae's kindness clearly touched the dwarves, and it showed as they gifted the Leviathan axe to her. The only weapon to truly match Mjolnir, it also shows in the way they spoke about her. Brock doesn't give many compliments, but when it comes to Fae, he says, And Sindri was willing to even fight Kratos, if it meant defending her honor and the gift they made for her. That was how deeply Fae impacted their lives. Through that connection, they repaid her kindness to Kratos and Atreus. Sindri says that he sees a lot of Fae in the young gods eyes. He mentions how she was a good woman who wanted to protect people. And he says that with a tinge of sadness in his voice. I see a lot of her in your eyes, you know? To compare Atreus to Laofae the Just is high praise already, but it's insight into how Sindri views Atreus going forward. As a little brother, a nephew, family that he wants to help and help protect, the way he speaks about it is almost like he owes it to Fae, and he does it for nothing in return. Kratos at first neglects the family aspects of these relationships. When they are asked by Brock to search for Antvarie, all they find is the ring. With nothing to give Brock, Kratos still expects to be paid for his efforts. This is a relationship that is transactional. He is unable to do anything for the dwarf out of the kindness of his own heart. And it's this idea, albeit directed towards Atreus, is where Sindri's anger truly begins. Sindri and Brock again help Kratos and Atreus out of the kindness of their own hearts, fixing and upgrading their armor, the axe, all of the information that was given to them on their journey. The hidden caves, the treasures, the shock arrows, the braided mistletoe arrows, the bows, all have been free of charge. And in the first game, this is how Sindri is repaid. And it's here that the seeds are planted. Sure, it's a child who's telling him off, who doesn't know better, but that doesn't mean that Atreus' words don't hurt. Even if he did apologize, that sting and that memory doesn't just suddenly go away. In the second game, Sindri takes on this uncle-like role to Atreus. Over the three-year gap between the games, they go on adventures together. They've been partners, as Sindri calls it. The dwarf acts as another buffer between Atreus and Kratos, another figure to guide the young god and to show him the love that Kratos does not outwardly show. No one asks him to accompany Atreus on these secret adventures, but Sindri does it anyways. To ensure Atreus' safety, he guides him and he gives him wisdom. But it's wisdom that Atreus rarely listens to. It's easily overlooked, but the seeds that were sowed in the first game, that whole, it continues to grow, because Sindri doesn't feel listened to and appreciated by Atreus. He warns the young god about going to meet with Freya, Atreus doesn't listen. And the idea of even going to visit her, Atreus had no intentions of consulting Sindri. Sindri calls Atreus his partner, and is genuinely hurt when he is not included in these plans. And yet, he still continues to watch over the young god. He continues to gift him with armor, new sonic arrows, free of charge. Sindri the germaphobe at one point even touches Atreus, he puts his arm around him, after an argument with Kratos as a way to calm him down. That in itself is quite a mighty act of love from the dwarf. And after this, the young god then has desires to go to Asgard to seek out the answers that he's been promised. Against the warnings of Mimir, Freya, Kratos, and most recently Sindri, he doesn't listen. Sindri feels as though he is the closest to Atreus, and yet the boy does not listen. To make matters worse and a fit of rage, he transforms into a bear and slashes Sindri, something that wounds him more emotionally than it did physically. And he wasn't able to forgive him for it, saying that he eventually would. And even after all this, when Atreus was missing, Sindri was still so worried about the young god. From Atreus' perspective, it's easy to see where the lines have been blurred. Atreus clearly views Sindri as family. He says so after trying to apologize to the dwarf. He sees him as an uncle, a big brother, a friend. To him, these relationships are not transactional. He is a child, a teenager. He has nothing to offer Sindri. When family members offer gifts to others, when they offer counsel and wisdom and help, it isn't supposed to be done to receive something in return. It is done out of the goodness of one's own heart. That is the essence of family. It's giving without the intention of receiving. It's giving out of love. But it all comes together when Sindri's guilt compounds with his grief and his inability to let go. When it comes for Kratos to potentially kill Haimdall, he ventures out with Barak to create Dropnir, crafted by the Lady of the Forge. Earlier, Sindri tells Kratos that once upon a time, Barak had died. And so, Sindri went to Aufheim to reclaim his soul and bring him back to life. But was only able to recover part of his soul, missing the direction. And that he has never told his brother this. Barak's hunch that he had once died comes true when the Lady of the Forge is unable to see him because of his missing soul. But when Barak dies, he dies forgiving his brother, urging Sindri to let him go. For a second time, Sindri is forced to mourn his brother. And this time, there is nothing he can do about it. There is quite a sense of powerlessness here at play for Sindri. The Haldra brothers were once on a quest to become the greatest blacksmiths in all of the Norse world. For all we know, they already are. Mjolnir, the Leviathan Axe, two of the greatest weapons have been forged by their joint hands. The idea of Dropnir came from their mind. They've got such a vast wealth of knowledge of these lands, rivaled by few others. They've got all these little tips and tricks and trinkets, arrows, little gadgets, the ability to enter the realm between realms, the ability to fix virtually anything. Sindri already tried to fix Barak once before. Now he's got no more tricks, no more gadgets, no knowledge that can bring his brother back. There's nothing left, there's nothing to do but to let go. And deep down, Sindri blames himself, because for the second time, he was unable to protect his brother. And now, because he couldn't fully bring Barak's soul back, leaving out the direction, there is no afterlife for Barak. This is it. Sindri will never be able to apologize, he will never be able to right his wrongs. This is it. If souls can meet in the light of Alphime, he will never reunite with Barak in the light. He has stripped his brother of his direction, and a life beyond this one, and he feels so guilty about it. And there's a reason Sindri couldn't let go. The love he had for his brother was too great. The sadness and the pain of losing him would always be too much. He says it himself, Sindri says that Barak called himself selfish once, and he refuted this idea. But in his actions, we see that Sindri was to a degree selfish. Denied Barak a chance at the afterlife because he couldn't survive without his brother, because he couldn't let go. Now inconsolable and unable to carry the weight of the choice he made, so all the pain and all the anger he feels towards himself, he aims towards Atreus. We've settled here in the realm between realms. My secrets. I couldn't be alone. My treasures. Drop near. But we need it. Our supplies. And you just kept taking. And now what have I got? Not even my family. I'm sorry for our spoke to you, Sindri. Can you forgive me? Already have. I'm really sorry about the way I left. So do you forgive me? I'm sure I will. Eventually. I'm so sorry. No. No, I don't want to hear it. You don't know what sorry means. If you want sorry, this is what sorry looks like. Sindri drowning in sadness closes all of his emotions off, except for rage and vengeance. He even disregards the innocent people that he hurts in Asgard. To prove a point to Atreus. Emotionally, Sindri is drained, but physically he is spent as well. Sindri's physical change is so jarring when combining that with the anger that he feels. His bloodshot eyes, his hair disheveled, his hands exposed. This is the same man that could barely touch the Leviathan axe because of the amount of blood, dirt, and filth that was on him. He wears gloves at all times. He was constantly gagging throughout the first game, but now Brock's blood stains his armor, and he never takes it off nor does he ever clean it. And his hands are now fully exposed, still stained with Brock's blood as well. Because of that guilt that is weighing on him so heavily, it makes him desperate to hold on to that anger, that vengeance, even after he destroys Odin's soul. Brock's funeral takes place a bit after Odin's end, and when the dwarf appears, he still hasn't taken off the blood-stained armor and his hands are still exposed. He wants so badly to continue being angry because it distracts him. The armor, the blood, these are constant reminders of that rage, but it's fading. In the close-up of the dwarf sending his brother off, he allows his anger to slip and to turn into deep sadness, but he still doesn't want to let himself break. When Kratos tries to talk to him and he stares the Spartan down, he can't even manage to make out any words. I think at that moment, he finally ran out of anger. The hole that was growing inside him had finally engulfed the dwarf, until there was nothing left but emptiness inside of him, and his grief without processing it made him empty. Even the way he slowly trudges away, as if he were a man unstable, a man with no direction, a man who's been broken down to his core, just trying to find balance anywhere. When we juxtapose that with Atreus' reaction, he too tried to run away from his emotions, but Kratos and Mimir forced him to confront his emotions. Sindri on the other hand, in all of his grief, refuses to let others in, building up that wall, making that hole larger and larger. The more it grows, the longer he takes, the harder it becomes to forgive himself. He might never be able to. A rational look at this situation is that Sindri's anger isn't unfounded. There is a bit of truth behind it. Atreus does bear some responsibility in the way that he treated Sindri, but Atreus is a child, a child of a deeply wounded god and a deceased giant. A kid who's not known any bit of normalcy. He's just made friends his age for the very first time in his life at 14 years old. I've mentioned how Kratos sees these relationships as transactional and that Atreus does not, but sometimes Kratos' ideals and the way he treats people bleeds into how his son does, for better or for worse. Without Atreus, Sindri and Brock would have never reunited. Without Atreus, he would have been killed by that dragon. Sindri is old enough to take responsibility over the fact that he invited Kratos and Atreus into his home willingly. He decided to help them on their journey, and even after learning of the potential danger, even after learning that they would be involved in matters concerning Odin, he continued to aid them. All of this was of his own volition. But I think the most important thing to note here is that grief is not sensible, it's not rational. Grief can change a man. I think deep down, Sindri knows that it's his fault, and I think he knows that blaming Atreus does nothing good for him in the long run. That Brock would be adamantly against him blaming anyone for his own death, other than Odin. But again, this game approaches grief in a very realistic way. This game and this new world has been about grief the entire time. About how people react, change, grow, or decay when they lose a loved one. Whether it's Kratos and Atreus grieving Fae, Kratos being forced to face down his past mistakes and accept them in order to properly raise Atreus, or whether it's Freya and learning how to grieve Balder, and how to move forward past her rage. And now Sindri, grieving Brock, becoming someone completely unrecognizable. And to make a small note of that, Sindri is turning into the man that Kratos once was. I think the Spartan recognizes this and he tries to help him, but he too, more than anyone, understands what loss does to a man. Grief is a part of life. As Fae says, the culmination of love is grief, and yet we love despite the inevitable. We open our hearts to it. To grieve deeply is to have loved fully. Open your heart to the world as you have opened it to me, and you will find every reason to keep living in it. Sindri loved his brother so much, so much so that he knew he couldn't be in that world alone. He wasn't strong enough. He isn't strong enough to let go. She has closed himself off to the world. In that closure, the very thing Kratos wanted to avoid for Atreus, Sindri is slowly losing his reason to live. Grief changes people. Mistakes change people. Sindri's words, his actions, and Brock's presence, they leave a great hole. That emptiness permeates throughout the end of this game. These are the consequences of their choices. This is one mistake, one final problem that the great blacksmith Sindri might never be able to fix. It's a hole that might never be closed.
