Where we ask “What will constitute “value” or “storehouse of value” 20-years from now? Once upon a time, this was such a simple damn question. But, with the rate of change changing and technology obsoleting whole segments of “work” – we have to raise our heads up once in a while and ask the obvious … Read More
Ure’s Manifesto time. Since little is going on in the financial world (yes, market may decline, but this ain’t advice), we think it’s time to briefly consider how WWM (Wrong-Way Media) has botched its attempted dump of their “Insurrection” narrative on the public. Since our Reality is data-based, a 3-year clip of Google Trends highlights how … Read More
After putting on a good show part of Friday, markets weakened at the close. And with the opening of the Beijing Olympics, we’re only 13-days from the wrap-up of events there. Already, though, bullets are flying in Ukraine. Not a lot of ’em, but enough to tell markets “This problem may not be going away.” … Read More
UrbanSurvival readers tend to have IQ’s well over 110. If you’re reading us on a regular basis, congrats! You’re probably too smart to be sucked into herd-think. Lately, our attention has been sliced & diced (“But wait, there’s More!”) by events that all (on close inspection) have a common theme. Money! Our guiding principle during the … Read More
And whether we like it, or not, the high-risk window for a regional war in Europe is here. Reprising, along the way, an event set-up very reminiscent of The Guns of August. Hand me an Archduke? Three, Three, Three Stories in One! Like the Mighty Circus, it’s hard to follow what’s going on in all … Read More
Before we get into the (possible Wave 4 rally leading into war shortly) – and the Philly Fed and Unemployment claims – let’s pause to fire neurons at psycho-social controls used by Globalist government proxies, lest you get lost translating the Big Libretto of Life. Knowledge (as we explained in (excruciating detail) in Wednesday’s Peoplenomics … Read More
Forget the over-touted multiverse. Parallel dimensions are likely real, not some computer simulations of reality. And not to be confused with the “real-thing” Reality, after all. Before we explain parallel universes intersecting with this one, however, we first need to spend some time understanding how the Future – yes, the real one – as in … Read More
Reader Note: Added estimated reading time (@275 wpm) to the top of posts. Reading time doesn’t include comments. Can add, tho, if anyone gives a rip… Inflation is about to rip everybody a new one. If you haven’t been shopping lately, that is. I assume you know – as was true back during Jerry Ford’s Whip … Read More
You may not be old enough to remember the term “SNAFU” but it meant “Situation Normal, All Fouled Up.” With variants for the “eff-word” more common. As another year begins, we see SNAFU but have concerns this will be part of the larger “reality breaks” implicit in the Multi-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics. It’s … Read More
Odds are rising the “hot word” of 2022 will be “NSNW.” As if Covid 19 was not enough of a context scapegoat for financial markets, the odds are seen growing that the “next step” along the path will be war. Possibly of the NSNW sort. Interventionist Capitalism’s run may be ending sooner than we think: … Read More
When you look at the world through “de-monetized glasses” this week, there are three things highlighting Life. Assembly of presents, personal changes at the Winter Solstice. And of course, food. Some Assembly Required Over the course of almost 73-years, the relative importance of Christmas has changed a lot. The old Sears Wish Book while watching the … Read More
Sometimes, history can help scale our “worst case” thinking. In one of our “mainly charts” reports today, we look at (semi-recent) economic history and ask how bright are America’s enemies? The question is not moot: Russia has outlined a number of “deal points” for standing down on their side of the Ukraine border. Since the … Read More
Honestly, very little has changed in the past 24-hours since our last Big Picture of coming events. Russia and the West are pouring war materiel into Eastern Europe. China is still whipping up anti-American sentiment. Markets are getting worried at a deep core level. And above all, 2022-2024 is shaping up as a period when … Read More
