Am I wrong for wantin' us to make it?

Tell me your lies because I just can't face it

It's you, it's you, it's you

It's you, it's you, it's you

Could it be that it's a lesson that I never had to learn?

I looked at it like a blessing and now it's just a curse

I don't know why, I don't know why

It's you, it's you

It's you, it's you, it's you

They're both so done.

That's the faces of two men who have heard one too many slavery apologists defending God-sanctioned biblical slavery and they're dying a little inside.

After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which with the first week of July in the books, saw equity markets showing strength from the large cap and tech focused S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, but continued churn from the small caps.

Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its consolidation in the uptrend while Crude Oil consolidates in a tightening range. The US Dollar Index continues to drift to the downside in consolidation while US Treasuries move lower in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the short term move lower while Emerging Markets remain in broad consolidation.

The Volatility Index looks to remain very low and stable making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. The charts of the SPY and QQQ look strong, especially on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe both the QQQ and SPY have reset momentum measures and both are also looking strong upon reversing. The IWM continues to be dead money, going on 30 months now. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

SCP#: AXP

Code Name: Glitch Zombies/ The Data Parasites

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: A single sample of SCP-AXP has been contained at the biohazard labs of Site-AN. The sample is locked in a biohazard canister with a password that changes every 1 minutes. The biohazard canister is locked in the level 5 biohazard storage chambers which is also locked behind a passcode that changes every 1 minutes. To have access to both codes one must obtain a device containing both codes and changes when they do. The only way to have this device is to obtain express permission from Site Director Eto. Anyone who has not had permission form the Site Director yet has access to device and/or the codes is to be assumed a traitor and executed accordingly. There are no exceptions.

As of this moment testing is not permitted until the O5 Council themselves as well as the Ethics Committee have a unanimous vote in favor of a test regarding SCP-AXP. Should testing ever be approved all participating in said experiment must always wear Foundation Cognito/info hazard protection head gear to prevent infection of SCP-AXP. Furthermore, Mobile Task Force Hecate-A "Real Magic" Division "Sorcerer's Staff" must be present as well as Division "Witch's Wand".

Description: SCP-AXP is a parasite that is able to both control and alter the metaphysical properties of its host. The parasite instances tend to vary in appearance as some appear as a metal earth worms and others resemble a hydra worm but have a crimson glow. There is normally only one SCP-AXP instance in a host, and they are all at least 7 centimeters in length and 5 millimeters in width. When an SCP-AXP manages to enter a host, it will immediately enter the brain via the quickest methods possible whether it be through the nervous system or by tearing through the blood stream. Unlike normal parasites, SCP-AXP does not care about harming its host which is somewhat understandable given the aftereffects. 

It normally takes the parasite no longer than 30 seconds to get into the host's brain. Once the SCP-AXP instance has reached the brain it will burrow into the brain and devours the Hippocampus seemingly replacing it with its own body. tendril like growths will grow form the SCP-AXP instance allowing it to attach to the rest of the brain and inject a venom that ensures full control without resistance. Because the Hippocampus is destroyed the host is essentially brain dead and unable to live in any normal way without the SCP-AXP host. As their personality deteriorates the SCP-AXP takes full control of the body, essentially turning the host into a zombie. 

Like any zombie SCP-AXP hosts will limp around to bite and scratch any living hosts not infected with the SCP-AXP parasite. The venom SCP-AXP injects into its host doesn't just allow it to control the host but fills their bodily fluids with eggs allowing new parasites to spread these eggs through bites or scratches. The eggs hatch within seconds of entering the host and surprisingly most end up exiting the host quickly while the one closest to the brain ends up being the one to start the infection process. How the parasites are able to tell who among them is closest is unknown. The parasites that slither out of the host will attempt to infect those around the host by any means necessary. 

What makes SCP-AXP so vile isn't just how it infects its hosts or turns them into zombies but how it also allows said zombies to evolve into different forms as time goes on. When an SCP-AXP instance has access to digital data whether it be a computer or mobile device they will quickly try to touch it as if it was flesh for them to eat. Once the SCP-AXP host has access to the data it will start absorbing the data until there is nothing left. How this process works is still not fully understood. 

Furthermore, the SCP-AXP host will start to gain the ability to glitch out of reality and instantaneously teleport to another location. This ability gets stronger as SCP-AXP hosts absorb more data. Worst off, the metaphysical mutations tend to vary depending on what kind of data the SCP-AXP host absorbs. If the SCP-AXP host absorbs images of people, animals, plants, objects, or even landscapes the SCP-AXP host will have a 5% chance of developing characteristics corresponding to the images absorbed. Of course, the 5% chance increases as they absorb more data images, the same mutation chance goes for other types of data. If the SCP-AXP host absorbs data revolving information relating science and math, like economic reports or science articles, then their intelligence will increase, and they will start to develop their own ideas and even hunting strategies for capturing prey on the information absorbed. It should be noted that there have even been instances of SCP-AXP hosts that were able to utilize weapons such as blunt objects and even firearms with extreme precision. Finally, if the SCP-AXP host absorbs information based on literature, like an online book, they will start to develop the ability to speak. They will often quote what they have absorbed, develop personality traits based on what is written, and once more data is absorbed be able to speak complex sentences by themselves, especially useful for luring prey. 

As such if SCP-AXP absorbs all of such data and in massive amounts it will essentially become an apex predator for humans. Strangely when SCP-AXP is done feeding it will leave a single file of corrupted image onto the device it absorbed said data from. Once viewed the viewer will instantly become infected with an SCP-AXP parasite. How this is possible is unknown. Thankfully thought through first encounter with SCP-AXP hosts has shown that they are unable to absorb data directly from the internet or implant the parasitic Cognito hazard images into the internet. Otherwise, an XK Class End of the World Scenario would have taken place by now.

SCP-AXP was discovered in 2021 in Nigeria. An entire building at the city of [data expunged] after screams and reports of strange monsters came from inside the building only for silence to follow. Local law enforcement was quick to lock down the building and under order of the Foundation kept people out while MTF operatives went in. Mobile Task Force Delta-4 "Minutemen" were the first to enter the building with 20 units but unfortunately suffered heavy losses. The SCP-AXP hosts inside had already amassed large numbers and some had already mutated greatly making them too much for the MTF Delta-4 units to handle. Many of the MTF Delta-4 units were killed off by SCP-AXP hosts while others accidently saw the Cognito hazard images and became infected instantly. Thankfully they were able to kill a small portion of the hosts. The 4 survivors also managed to obtained blood samples, even an instance of SCP-AXP was obtained, allowing the Foundation to better understand the situation. 

Because of the anomalous metaphysical nature of the anomaly and the possibility of Cognito hazard-based infection Mobile Task Force Hecate-A "Real Magic" Division "Sorcerer's Staff" was deployed. MTF Hecate-A Division "Warlock's Spear" was deployed as well, the entire team consisted of 5 Division "Sorcerer's Staff" units and 15 Division "Warlock's Spear" units. It took them about 5 days to clear out the entire building but in the end were victorious and with no casualties. Its thanks to the conflict with SCP-AXP that the Foundation understands its nature and thus, further testing has been deemed unnecessary as well as not worth the risk. 

Unfortunately, when a Foundation clean-up crew was sent after the building was confirmed safe, they found a biohazard canister with the insignia of the Scriptures of Rotten Flesh and Cybernetic Bones engraved on it. Why the Scriptures created SCP-AXP and if they have more instances on the loose is unknown. Regardless, SCP-AXP is another example as to why the Scriptures are not only one of the newest but also one of the greatest threats to humanity and the Foundation.

Chateau Chenonceau, The Unique Jewel of the River Cher

AXP Photography (Pexels) Today we talk about one of the most beautiful castles in France, Chateau de Chenonceau on the River Cher. How did the cold rivalry between two women eventually bring about the most visited and photographed private Chateau in all of France? How did one of these woman turn a remodeled fortress from the 1200s into a completely unique river spanning marvel, and how did the other woman top that? And fireworks? Imagine it's the 1500s and you've never seen fireworks before - we'll talk a bit about that too. Welcome to Preferably With Castles, where I like to showcase a great place to visit - often a castle - and then give you some practical information in case you decide to make the trip. I initially thought I was going to show you some pictures and say 'Look at the pretty castle', but medieval art and architecture is a passion of mine, and suddenly I was days in on researching French history. Friends, the forecourt to the Chateau stretches out before us, and we have to go look.

The original structure of the Chateau de Chenonceau was known as the Manoir de Chenonceau, built by the Marques family in the 13th century. Sitting serenely on the banks of the river Cher, even without all of the later renovations it must have been a stunning place to see.

Skip ahead 3 centuries and we come to Thomas Bohier, who was a tax collector for King Francis I. He was so wealthy (and that’s when you comment below ‘How wealthy was he?’) - he was so wealthy that he and his wife Katherine Briçonnet purchased the Manor of Chenonceau outright from the Marques family. As much as I’d love to see what that original structure looked like and show it to you, putting a lot of AI generation into these videos is not a goal of mine. But it was something like this: The main building (though un-renovated), the original part of the guard tower and no structure on the water. And also all those trees and flowers - those are new too.

Giblert Sopakuwa Thomas and Katherine purchased the Manor in 1513, but they weren't content to simply live there. They spent the next 9 years renovating. They turned the ancient fortress into a modern chateau. They also used the foundation of the ancient guard tower and turned it into the Tour de Marques in tribute to the previous owners. I don’t know about you, but I can't count the number of times I’ve wanted to go buy an ancient fortress and turn it into a pleasure palace, but somehow I've never had the funds.

Unfortunately for Bohier's son Antoine, the abbot of St. Rouen, he didn't have the funds either. After Thomas and Katherine’s death in 1524 and 1526 respectively, Antoine only held on to it until 1535, when his debts compelled him to sell it to King Francis I. After Francis I’s death in 1547, the chateau went to his son, King Henry II. Now you remember I mentioned two women who didn’t like each other very much. These two women were Catherine de Medici and Diane de Poitiers. Diane de Poiter’s was Henry II’s favorite mistress (which begs the question, how many mistresses weren’t his favorite?)

The other woman, so to speak, was Catherine de Medici - Henry's wife.

So imagine how Catherine felt when Henry gave this magnificent palace as a gift - not to her, but to ‘her’. To explain what transpired between the two women as simply as I can, Diane was the woman Henry doted on and gave gifts like an entire chateau and enjoyed sweeping political influence during Henry's reign. Catherine had children.

This was fortunate, however, for the chateau, because both women went to considerable lengths to enhance it. Diane herself made some major renovations to the chateau and the surrounding site - most notably beautifying the grounds with gardens, and constructing the arched bridge across the river (though this did not include the two story gallery, just the bridge itself.)

The gift of the chateau, and the money spent on renovating it, was wrapped up with the political power Diane wielded by being the king's favorite - it wasn't enough to be his mistress and a financial drain, she also influenced the Treaty of Boulogne, the alliance with Scotland, military campaigns against the Hapsburgs and Italians, the appointment of political figures, the receiving of additional grants and lands to give to her political allies, and, wild as it sounds, as a devout Catholic, strengthening - of all things - the church's influence in France.

You can imagine Catherine's resentment, which was well documented. But, to come to her role in the chateau's history, in 1559, Henry II died. And bearing him all those children worked out in the end, because she was now the queen regent, and mother of the heir, Francis II. At this point she had the personal power to force Diane to relinquish Chenonceau for the measly Chateau Chaumont. Now, I kid, but look at this place. As far as getting rid of your rivals goes, that’s an incredibly sweet deal. Diane did, however, have a lot of power and influence at court, so simply banishing her (or worse) was not an ideal option. Moving her to Chaumont got her out of the center of court life as Catherine began exerting her own influence.

instant shots (flickr) I asked at the beginning how one woman could top the other. Catherine topped Diane by literally topping Chenonceau - she had a two story gallery ballroom built on top of Diane's bridge. Beyond that, she expanded the gardens (which became known as the Catherine de Medici gardens, not the Diane de Poitiers gardens), and wholeheartedly worked to make Chenonceau a hub for lavish royal events and court life. It really was destined to be one of the most cared for Chateau in the country, and to this day, people the world over come to see why.

Speaking of those lavish royal events, that brings us back to the other main point I mentioned in the intro - the fireworks. When Henry II died in 1559, Catherine would briefly be queen regent, and then in 1560, their son Francis II was crowned king. In that same year, Francis II married someone you may have heard of - Mary Queen of Scots. So, what do you do when your son becomes king and gets married? You throw the biggest party you can, which is exactly what Catherine did. And how did she make that party truly memorable? By presenting a thrilling innovation that England and Italy had already seen, but France had not - fireworks. This event marked the first time fireworks were displayed in the country of France, and even though we now have regular opportunities to see them every year, they’re still awe-inspiring. Imagine what it would have been like to get to see them for the first time ever in your entire country, from the vantage point of one of the world's most beautiful settings. To this day, the Chateau de Chenonceau is the most visited chateau in France, save only for the Royal Palace of Versailles. There is a lot more to the history before and after the renovation of the manor house that became the Chateau, but that's more than we'll cover here, and would be excellent reason to go see Chenonceau for yourself.

discopalace (flickr) Now as always let's help you get started on trip planning, because we all want to go see Chenonceau now. Right? I only have so many ways to say 'This hotel was great and that restaurant was great', so I'm going to present the information differently. Where you could stay: Château Hotels (STAY IN A CASTLE!)
