Watching the Space Station It sounds, at least for now, like the computer problems on the International Space Station are back on line and things are somewhat 'normal'. Still, in light of what was in the predictive linguistics a long while back (before the 1207 run), there's an interesting question that always pops up. We have sometimes seen in the analysis of how time references are used by people in everyday conversation, how just the discussion of something in the mainstream media can sometimes be what was picked up - not necessarily an event but rather the public discussion of a pending/possible event.
I'll show you what I mean: A long while back we had a spot in modelspace where there was much discussion of a "tsunami in Hawaii". This was a lot more specific than the "west coast quake mid October 2006" prediction (which was fulfilled by the Oct 15 +/- Oahu quake.
Well, it turned out that what we were picking up was the rumor going around that there would be a Hawaii tsunami.
My point? (Not enough coffee yet, eh?) With all the focus on the space station this week, the question is open whether a) the discussion about possible abandonment was sufficient for the fulfillment of the linguistic 'blip' which will mark the start of the big releases between now and September 19th or b) whether the computer repairs will turn out to be a short term fix with actual abandonment still to come. Time will tell, so to speak.
A reader notes:
I was kind of Hopi'ing no one would mention that....
The Wars
But, you can skip all of that because it's all low-level stuff compared to the rewarming of the Cold War going on in Europe where Russia/European/US talks about conventional forces has not been going well at all.
Positioning for the Crash Maybe I'm a little suspicious, but when I read that presidential wannabe/consummate insider Hillary Clinton and hubby Bill have dissolved a blind trust and are going to ALL CASH AND BONDS, I get really worried that Trader Ross may be right with his last-gasp Fourth of July market peak prediction. Just a co-inky-dink, I'm sure. Right? --- Trader Jim, meantime (who also noticed the Clintons may be the "first rats to jump ship", before the PTB crash the markets late summer) advises not to read too much into the report about the Swiss selling off a pile of their central bank gold. instead, he says to read the Jason Hommel comments at GoldSeek.com where he lays out all kinds of worthy things to know about gold's present and future direction.
Government by the Deaf Once killed, there is once again talk of another run around the will of voters with a rewrite of the felony forgiveness plan. Go ahead, ask yourself: When the "first and only ever" amnesty for illegals was passed in 1986, who has been sitting on their butts for 20-years not enforcing the duly enacted Laws of the United States which make illegal entry /border crossing a felony? Answer: The Shadow government of "administrators" who form the second government - and arguably the most powerful part of the PTB paradigm enforcement squad. 'Scuse me while I barf.
Another Beef While there's lots of talk about the emergent global food crisis (remember, the encounters with scarcity meme is still building with a long ways to go), the first hand report from a reader hints that we should maybe raise our own beef sooner than later...
Yes, they do say some things about 2012 - and if you're still alive then...well, let's not go there. We have enough on our plate from now through year end: economic collapse looming as possible to likely, a bunch of huge quakes (3) and then the "global coastal event" next year (or beyond, remember, the bigger an event, the more lead time we seem to get). Just do your weekend chores, huh?
Gun Show Report The ammunition shortage we started tracking seems to have lessened just a tad - and maybe only here in the nation's heartland, as explained in this reader report:
Think Under Denver's Airport With the linguistics pointing to a space-based something in our future and a global coastal event, I notice the Jim McCanney's web site is now talking about the movement of some key government operations to higher altitude inland locales.
Peoplenomics: Two Unseen Dangers With my computer crashes this week (can you say 'attack'?) this week's report will be a little shorter than most times. Nevertheless, my friends with the predictive linguistics have sent a few hints along about where life if going - and the Sunday CNN "Special Investigations Unit" report "We Were Warned" - which Frank Sesno did a great job with, put a number of thing into perspective. We need to focus on climate change and rain on the one hand, and water vapor on the other as the two major positive feedback loops which will have their way with your life, sooner than you might be reading in "offishal" press report - better labeled I think as LSM - LameStreamMedia. As Jimi Hendrix sang in "All Along the Watch Tower"..."so let us stop talking falsely now, the hour's getting late." More for Subscribers Subscription Information

Friday June 15, 2007 A Timing Tip The Space Station is making headlines. This is a huge deal beyond your wildest: I keep forgetting to mention that in one of the past web bot runs (I think it was in the temporal study focused on the period Summer '07 to December 07 (ALTA Report 1207 if you subscribe to the www.halfpasthuman.com series, or the one before that) it's a pointer toward: "The fun starts just past here" with global calamities, earthquakes, yada, yada. In the predictive linguistic modelspace, the crap hits the fan shortly after the International Space Station is abandoned. That's what the time monks call a temporal marker in modelspace because it occurs just before the really messy period this fall/winter gets underway.
So....that's why you want to follow the power and computer problems of the ISS extraordinarily closely. If they have to bail out, then it's time to top off supplies and get ready to duck/recover from whatever's implied in all the terra intrudes stuff/global market calamity, and all the rest of the gloomy stuff that comes along with 2007 being the year of "emergence" of [devastating] change.
My thoughts? Well... based on how accurate the data runs have been, I'd say there's a 99% chance the ISS will be abandoned - it's there in modelspace as I read things; not that I'm a time monk. So there's one headline that when it crosses should not come as a surprise to you. Those [huge] gamma ray bursts lately may be the source of the ISS problems and the link between them and earthquakes is a very interesting area of speculation. So, just a matter of when, not if, to me anyway...
Quaken Say, here's a reader who's coming along the 'gittin it' path as we've been telling you what our linguistic time machine has been predicting for later this year: Huge earthquakes before the year's out. Writes he:
CPI Happy Hype If you believe in fairytales, here's another one for you:
I am rolling on the floor in tears over this one! Inflation up 2.7% for the year? What planet are we talking about?
Of course, the soft pedal is that inflation is up more than 1.1% in the last two months, an annual rate of nearly 6.5-7% range. But, that's just me on coffee.
Don't forget, these figures are from the same government that has started putting gasoline sales into the retail sales figures to puff them up. Touted as up 1.4%, ex gasoline prices they were up 1.2% last month. Ain't this grand? I would LOVE to get hold of the pre-1967 market basket data and see what that costs today to see how crooked (if at all) things have become. That was back when they measured a gallon of whole milk, a [pound of a specified meat and so forth. None of these hedonic corrections. That was also back when productivity was measured as real output, not implied by a change of processor speed - I mean come on, did your productivity double when you started running that Dual Core machine? Mine hasn't.
Nevertheless, Trader Ross who has been sending me notes about how the market will peak around the Fourth of July and then the massive decline starts, will no doubt be basking in profits today with the pop at the open. As a recovering republican/recovering options trader, I admire his accuracy.
The Zeppelin in the Inbox Extra coffee rations all around, there's almost too much to cover, but I'll take a whack at it. Where to start? I suppose the economy and then global picture would be a good starting point.
Buried, but overlooked in Thursday's report: Trader Jim sends an email (along with his regards) and notes that:
A fine idea. Click here if you don't know what a Hindenburg Omen means. Needless to say, this event has caused a fair amount of conversation around the 'net (an example here) among savvy traders.
There are a couple of things going on which may not be making headline in LameStreamMedia, but which are pushing on the world's strings. One of these is recent events in commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS), those marvelous collections of debt which are based on the notion that if you have a whole bunch of debt, roll it up in a ball, and discount it appropriately, it will act like a bond. Well, that's the theory anyway.
Now, the problem which is coming down the track toward us like a runaway train is that what happens when these CMBS get 'unrolled'. An even more interesting question is "Who owes your mortgage?" I mean really owns it? If I own a mortgage, and it gets sold (sometimes without notice to me) to some investment group that's rolling up these balls of debt to pedal like bonds, then do I have to make the payment to them bond holder or to the mortgage company? And, should I have the foolishness to stop making payments, can the mortgage company collect, or is the holder of the debt someone halfway around the world who bought the pseudo-bond?
An interesting question - and one which real estate lawyers I'm confident have papered over as best they can, but you see the question I hope? --- I tend to ask a lot of difficult questions. Want another? OK - try to wrap your head around this one: "Should government workers be allowed to vote in elections which decide positions that will set their salaries?" I know this is a tangent, but if I worked as a school teacher, and wanted to get super active in a school board election (which would set my salary) wouldn't that, in effect, be a conflict of interest? Just another something to noodle on while you finish up the work week...
Truths of Money Here's another item from the overflowing inbox.
Whirled News Ah yes, the wars, the bankers, the resources. Some highlights, then an interesting pointer:
Why would we "warn scientists" and not everyone? (Just kidding, having too much caffeine here,) The point, which I've made ad nauseam is that whether the world hit peak oil in 2005 (as Brown/IEA figures suggest), or whether it's coming in a year or two and a half which is how close 2010 is, is like splitting hairs. When we get there, if we haven't already, everything goes over a cliff.
Quick! Name that cliff!
Give up? Olduvai. If you don't know the personal implications of Olduvai theory (which we'll get into for Peoplenomics.com subscribers this weekend) you should maybe just go back to LameStreamMedia programming and stop that sense of curiosity before it gets you in some real trouble.
Of course, there's a lot more to the news than is allowed to meet the public eye. Occasionally I get my reports from a source who is called the "Wandering Texan" and today there's this curious email which I think is OK to share:
(Hope WT figures out what the word "rest" means..but that's a longshot.) The truly conspiratorially minded would then flip over to the report that Switzerland is planning to sell 250-tons of gold and scream "Oh Sh*t! I get it!" So again, I'll just point at the space station and say "Watch that And stay out of harms way 'cuz terra intrudes soon, don'tcha know?"
LameStream Lockdown I don't know if UrbanSurvival, Peoplenomics, or IndependenceJournal are available to America's armed forces personnel. While I have been critical of the policies and lies of the current administration (bait and switch war and all) I am 100% supportive of our men and women who serve our country. With this in mind, I'll be very interested in hearing what the Senate hears as they start asking why service members don't have full access to the internet. |
