Only this is a “calculus of near future.” not that miserable simultaneous equations crap. Besides, if you follow our work, there’s a chance that consciousness has other ways than numbers to “understand Big Picture” stuff. We’ll save that for a different day.
Today’s calculus problem is simple – no numbers needed – just a good gut and a bottle of Maalox, maybe.
“Do you invest in War or Peace?” As we review in the ChartPack today, the odds are pretty well balanced. Case for new all-time highs and a MAGA triumph is there. But so is the Israel nukes Iran to finish the job (and the country). We figure tonight or tomorrow night may bring indicators on the live news streamers.
There’s also the little matter of where to from here? See, in long wave economics, the history books suggest we get a Depression then a War. But, we tackle that because as my consigliere appropriately worries, maybe there’s a “dark planet” or some celestial object which drives human behaviors and we just don’t get it, yet.
Pour a big cup today, my fellow lemmings. We’re almost to the edge now…

“Do you invest in War or Peace?”
Witnessing the returns Pelosi or Barron Trump are getting we have to concede we’re doing something wrong. Pelosi beats all funds. Barron parlayed his childhood weekly allowance into over $40,000,000 already. Even if he started with $10,000,000 that’s huge.
” Exclusive: Early US intel assessment”
40 years of original intel was right enough to bomb but historically shows it wasn’t right at all but now intel from the same people is right, right? F-bomb for effect.
“tonight or tomorrow night ”
While Iran chants death to America they’ll thoughtfully wait until market close Friday before attacking. They don’t want to hurt the West too bad.
What was in the mysterious cargo planes “they” told us China sent to Iran? Quite the mystery but was that intel correct? If you believe the intel it was right. We don’t want to see people get hurt but hopefully China sent the new 6x hotter than the Sun Plasma Bomb reactors. Outfit a plane with one of those then run into the crowd.
That’ll be a classic “we told you so” moment. “Even worse than intel showed.”
Unless they’re all working together.
Or they plan to short from a double top Friday… Bets of there being a Grid next week?
While I am hoping for a new style plasma bomb, the grid will stand. They – those who aren’t us – are working together. Their money/spending power is in E-forms.
Thought another way if the grid goes Barron becomes a regular, broke schlep equal to the immigrant labor working Mar-a-Lago.
Pelosi becomes equal to her immigrant labor gardeners.
Imagine these babies plowing into the side of the planet – as foretold ‘stars falling to Earth’:
“The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), also known as China’s “artificial sun,” is 11 meters high with a diameter of 8 meters. It has a total weight of 400 tons. The device’s main body is a D-shaped vacuum chamber with a major radius of 1.8-1.9 meters and a minor radius of 0.4-0.45 meters.”
If Barron was buying bitcoin with his allowance it wouldn’t surprise me .

*There orange jesus goes, bankrupting another business with his bloody paws prints all over it.
Iranian parliament just approved bill to suspend cooperation with UN nuke agency. What does this mean ?
It suggests that the Imam has indeed issued a Nuclear Weapons Fatwah, that makes it All legal in the eyes of their akbar god Allwallabingbang.
Thanks George … interested in your water storage ideas …… I do have stored/treated water, now pushing 6-7 yrs stored now (and yes probably should be changed out) …… but I also plan to use the Berkey before drinking any stored water, as a precaution. Again thanks for your ideas on this subject.
Yeah – doing a big piece on safety of storing water (with some contribs from our local water quyalioty7 whiz) so ShopTalk Sunday for sure this week…
Awesome.
Do you name your balls?
From the subscriber side: “… the art of non-attachment to outcomes …”
That’s ^ a mouthful in just a few words (out of character for the author? beyond my pay grade). We all have our bias (and bios) but the tsunami of info has most relying on their trusted sites which … may just be feeding the loop.
Cycles feel stretched / late game / semi frantic despite a lull in one of several shooting wars. I mostly look at charts to find my own conclusions (vs rely on one author, site). Though less “in the game” it appears investor psychology is becoming increasingly extreme.
Irrational exuberance anyone? Yep.
Lovely dip in the 4-day scorch today. I’m crossing items off the punch list with family inbound one week from today. A puzzlement. my mooring balls have new lines (painters and the buoy line) which are maybe too slick? The balls have both gone walk-about. Luckily, I put our name on with a Sharpie. They came back.
Milk jugs will stay forever but spiff TaylorMade balls? Nope. But why?
Stay cool.

re: “Calculus Class”
feat: “The Merchant of Venice”, 1598, The Bard
Folks,
The world’s current fourth wealthiest person has been photographed alighting dockside with his fiancee at the finest hotel in Venice. The hotelier’s two dozen rooms have apparently been reserved in their entirety for the next three nights for A-list wedding guests. Presumably the 150 or so other nuptial celebrants will be housed in alternate yet hopefully still comfortable abodes. The Happy Couple’s humble accomodation in surrounds of “The City of Masks” is owned by a Russian gentleman whose business career allegedly commenced in Moscow in 1991. An early 2020’s judicial decision in America successfully determined that he is not an oligarch.
Speaking of masks, the “Daily Mail” has published an image of the historic Campo de la Madonna de l’Orto where the wedding ceremony itself will be held. The church apparently dates to the 13th century with the Humiliati (“Humiliating”) religious order. It would seem that integral restorative works are underway as the entirety of the church tower is barely visible behind decoration of construction scaffolding. Surely wedding site photos can be appropriately AI enhanced to derive scenes of matrimonial bliss from the clutter.
Fortunately Algorithms of Universe appear at work as America’s First Daughter has been pictured arriving at Venice Airport. She and her husband are guests for the nuptials. Certainly her chops gained from overseeing project managers on “The Apprentice” tv series may allow example of implicit differentiation. One imagines that someone will be fired.
Reports that protests have forced a change of venue.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd0vjr07570o
A.G. Kimbrough,
Thank you for your update pointing out the proposed new venue for the weekend wedding nuptials! Apparently “The Arsenal” was the world’s first factory according to “Wikipedia”. It supplied the Venetian Navy with ships and arms from the 13th century until Napoleon arrived in 1797. At least the post-celebratory fireworks display should now be well in hand.

We have discussed taxing the machines before.
The Machines are analogous to the people as the people have a large deductible benefit stack (Health, Life, Vision, Dental, Long Term Care) while the machines have Power Consumption and
regular PM and CM. Humans work a nominal 40hrsx50wk/yr verses the machines 24/7/365.25 except for PM and CM.
So the way to recover the machine tax is to charge Full Social Security on the machine for every hour it works at the nominal pay rate for the displaced worker.
If you take a mid-level manager or a master mechanic is 3x Minimum ($15×3)=$46/hour, and charge that rate into SSI for every displaced worker (including those not hired, the machine just took the place of the job created) you are talking about some real money.
The other way is to go to Wall Street and look at the nominal 2billion trades they do ever day.
Probably 10% of these are for the retail trader customer. The rest are trades for the House so to speak, especially front running the customers trades, ot programed trades by the computer watching the moving averages just like we do.
These we won’t be greedy. We will just ask all trading houses to pay a $1.00 sales tax on any trade that is an automatic computerized trade, not for a retail customer.
Just one dollar.
Of course that will be about $1.8 BB/DAY (!) new revenue but Wall street can afford it.
You are one of the few who has really “gotten it” BAB. Machines should have to “pay for their own frigging replacements” at a rate equivalent to what a human would be racking up at the same production rate. Good bye to the depreciation scam – which means (Bernie sanders was right on this) we really could go to a 30 hour workweek. As it is, we work to pay corps to buy our repalcements and wonder what that feeling of discomfort is…I for one would love a $1 per share trade. Hell, even a dime would do it – that and end nbaked shorting and…oh what a world we could have had, huh?
Its Destiny G, destiny!
Destiny must be fulfilled/accomplished in single short lifetime. How does one determine ones’ destiny ?
Does a Destiny even exist for “believers” ?
I’m thinking NO, as they all seem to be victims of Fate.
Willing victims, like Curly always says – https://youtu.be/XawB78Z9SvA?
This destiny thing has lead me to consider “the company one keeps” as having an oversize impact on ones’ Destiny.
Destiny and Crypto are the fields in which I wander, pondering a future where USGovmint debt is “stuffed” into a Crypto vehicle – to make seem like like it is GONE..inflated away is the way/plan.
So the company one keep seems to determine the road on which one will end up traveling..Hang with economist types – never reach a conclusion, ever. Hang with miscreants..
Seeing todays financial news headline regarding Crypto & the BIS, I immediately thought of you ungrateful BTC haters and had a good chuckle -THANKS 4 that .
https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/bis-claims-stablecoins-fail-money-calls-strict-limits-their-role
Furtherr proof you can tell the “cut of a mans cloth, by the company they keep.
No Bitcoins for Mr No Tech. aka Luddy G!
Iran, Pakistan, Russia, China must love the notion of a “moneyless smart people” in the aftermath of an EMP. Learn morse, buy solar panels, grow hydroponics, brother. Don’t want you to ‘ring out early’ https://www.facebook.com/murphsealmuseum/videos/174252824813567/
I see you fell for the noise BCP. Just pulled this up from well below (elevated) noise floor.
Sometimes laser focus does make a difference.

BCP,
Are you teasing us with that “Zerohedge” link? The underlying (Iranian?) author of the “Cointelegraph” article claims graduation from Herat University as well as being a resident of Herat, Afghanistan. Regrettably the educational institution would appear to be closed for the foreseeable future by Taliban decree.

One other comment for today.
Since when is a good cynical reporter such as your self taking anything the Defense Intelligence agency, the CIA, the FBI, the DOS, the DOD, or any other SEIU staffed federal bureaucracy at face value, especially when they come out contradicting what Trump says? Really?
Especially when you consider the Mil-Industrial.Intellegence complex makes all their money by making sure there is a war somewhere to launder money through?
I have heard several retired generals say out loud ( I didn’t take down any names) that the 12X4 MOPs on top of the Fordow site will have cracked the membrane over head and caved in the facility. Having it buried and inaccessible and the centrifuges buried or worse, is good enough for me (remember what I do OK?) They will not come back.
Now I do not put it past the Israelis to go ahead an Nuke something because their funders in the Mil-Ind-IC complex want the money to flow. But Trumps action was to take the Iran Nuke Meme talking point away from ISRAEL not Iran.
And T in no uncertain *f-bomb) terms told NetanYahoo
That the bomb run was our beast and final offer to the mess, and not to expect ANY FURTHER Us Action.
So the best bet is take the real estate, Retail Shopping tourism casino gambling and oil and gas deal and be happy. (Iran too.)
Considering the Ayatollah is in a bunker without phone service, it is possible someone else is agreeing to everything, and he is out of the negotiating loop. He may emerge to find a plane awaiting to take him to Paris or Moscow.
If our little “intel group” is right, the key in the (left of Is intel backed didn’t get it all) report is that kernel where thery mention Isfahan only got Tomahawks. That means its possible israel could grow reports and use them as an excuse to go in as use nukes of isfahan which is reportedly deeper than fordhow – so yeah, Stu’s King of Terror in ths skies could be THIS July…
I hear what you are saying but that would be dumb as dirt, because Trump has told them all that is the last support they get from US (that is from us).
So they do it they are on thier own no matter how much Levin and Lyndsay holler.
we will be happy to watch this one from Our situation room.
I thin so will Putin.an d so will Xi,
But then we are talking about Government workers.
Peace through strength: a RayGun [Cred Ure] moniker and a Trump Moniker. 600 ship fleet and all that.
Peace through strength: a RayGun [Cred Ure] moniker and a Trump Moniker. 600 ship fleet and all that.
In other words: Trump wont cut the Military.He needs the Patriots now to complete the swamp remediation. BUDCAS
You DO realize the veracity and accuracy of any conclusions drawn by your little “intel group” is wholly dependent on a “report” from the “journalist” who broke the “Russian collusion” and the “51 Intel experts state the Hunter laptop is fake” stories, right?
Personally, when a mouthpiece proves to me that he or she is a Goebbels-sized liar and propagandist, I tend to discount anything they say or “report,” because doing otherwise is a waste of time…
Did not know you all were a reinforced Concrete experts ?
Did you the study in Russia ever ?
That concrete used in construction of the fordow underground nuke installation is not Ure everyday Re-Inforced Concrete. jss
Actualy, BAB is a PE and he knows concrete inside and out – don’t even know he can talk his game public but shit for wars – when it’s old and usuable is often burned in special….well, he’ll tell more if he wants. But bullshitters don’t read here.
Thank you,George, you said it well enough.
Anyone else notice Google sucks?
Google has been over commercialized but during this week has become generally unusable do to A.I. Overview filtering and steering.
Yandex strong! (for now).
I’ve avoided Google for years.
I asked Google that…
Whether or not Google “sucks” is subjective and depends on individual user experiences and expectations, as a personal physical event. Google doesn’t have lips but as a seach engine many people feel Google Search is declining in quality. This perception is fueled by factors like the increasing prevalence of SEO optimization and affiliate marketing, which can lead to lower quality search results. Users also report issues with AI summaries cluttering the results, and a general feeling that the search engine is becoming less useful.
A bit of drilling down (so to speak) found this assessment of the U.S. airstrikes on Iran, released yesterday by the Institute for Science and International Security, headed by David Albright, an inspector for the International Atomic Energy Agency. It’s lengthy and detailed, and includes satellite photos. It does not agree with the earlier leaked defense assessment.
https://isis-online.org/isis-reports/post-attack-assessment-of-the-first-12-days-of-israeli-strikes-on-iranian-nuclear-facilities
This is probably the closest thing to Iraq-style explosive action shots we’ll see.
Only this is a “calculus of near future.”
Calculus… that crusty stuff the hygenist scrapes off your teeth.
Phew… why can’t the leaders of the world etch out a manifesto…
the living flame…..
Imagine a Manifesto of the Living Flame—crafted not from cold policy papers, but from the embers of compassion, clarity, and courage. It would be a call not to dominate, but to illuminate. Instead of stockpiling weapons or consolidating power, global leaders would pledge to.
Rekindle Humanity’s Purpose: Recognizing the sacred within each person, and affirming that governance is stewardship—not ownership—of life, liberty, and dignity.
Nourish the Earth: Shifting from extraction to regeneration, placing the planet’s well-being above short-term profits.
Empower the Local Flame: Supporting decentralization of energy, food, and knowledge, so each community becomes its own hearth—warm, resilient, and self-sustaining.
Honor Wisdom and Spirit: Integrating ancestral knowledge, spiritual insight, and deep listening into decision-making—not as superstition, but as sacred intuition.
Instead of borders as battlegrounds, they’d be bridges. Instead of propaganda, poetry. Instead of fear, the fire of purpose.
instead of weapons death and destruction..oh my..
class as a framework for purpose, where each layer in society contributes uniquely, not hierarchically.
Artisans aren’t “lower” than thinkers—they’re the hands of the vision, transforming ideas into tangible resilience.
Scholars and seers preserve ancestral wisdom and discern patterns to guide transformation.
Builders and growers become the backbone of local autonomy, empowered by tools like solar microgrids and permaculture.
Wayfinders—a class devoted to strategic foresight, intuition, and collective memory—navigate the great transitions, drawing from myth, science, and dream.
This wouldn’t be about static roles or enforced hierarchy, but a living spiral of growth, where everyone sees the flame ahead and the steps to reach it.
there needs to be class separation..a goal to seek and achieve.I’ve walked among billionaires and bridge-dwellers, and and have seen that wisdom and worth don’t follow a resume. That the perspective—rooted in care of those around us, not judgment—is exactly what a resilient society needs. will our leaders ever see this..hmm.. they would have to change their way of thinking..
Notice how I slipped the solar towers and stable grid the greenscaping of urban areas lol..
lazy writing fordows punctuation

If the Iranians could shoot down an F-35 – why did they choose NOT to shoot down B2’s carrying heavy GBHbullshit bombs ?
Ya dont think there was a deal done beforehand. Nahhhhhhhhhhh
*No way those sites were cleared before and and SEALED tight, no way..
Also, what happened to the Female pilot Iran captured ? Another dealio ?
Speaking of dealios – ” rumored” double agent Iranian intel provided a “salted” list to mossad, as well as sending an “uncover traitors” text sent to all Iranian generals prior to, warning if they didnt post public surrender videos they and their families were kaput..how many took the bait, seems quite a few.
