Orion's Short

Long gold futures at exuberance peak, 2007, Alex Libbrecht is fired from Larry Silverstein's WTC Tower 7 and framed with crime by the WTC fireproofer for winning the national prize in a design competition. Alex prudently sails away into the Pacific, navigating with only stars and birds. He is confronted by the Clinton War Party at sea. Alex's bosses, Sawteen See and Leslie Robertson, had engineered the Twin Towers and Clinton Presidential Library. As their real estate bubble unravels, they stop at nothing to portray Alex as a lone wolf. However, time runs out for Obama's Secret Service when Alex dumps his precious metal futures, triggering a collapse in spot gold, capitulating months of panic and equity selling worldwide with exactly one week to go until the Brexit referendum. Pirating tale of betrayal, tortious interference, and kidnapping. The gold trade, in its splendor, is known by a select few as the trade that precipitated the "Trump Trade" pushing Brexit over the line. The trade ultimately continued and catapulted Trump into the White House. By perfectly aiming the MAGA cannon ball, Alex secured Powell's nomination at the Federal Reserve. The trade formally demarcated the inception of the red wave of 2016 and ushered in deglobalization and protectionism, structurally changing supply chains leading to inflation. Next came Powell's non-PHD style rate hiking cycle that led to collapsed banks, degrowth and reduced emissions, permanently rendering WTC Tower 2 a stump that serves as a friendly reminder of the greatness of Alex Libbrecht to the warmongering globalist boomers Alex met along the way, including Silverstein, See, Robertson, Bloomberg, Obama and Clinton. Nonfiction.
