Things “Preppers” Usually Miss – I

Got food?  Water?  Dandy first-aid kit?  A lifetime supply of toi8let paper?  Cooking surface (like a rocket stove)?  Foraging books? Sleeping bags?  Serious walking shoes? Exit/bug-out plans?  Food rotation plans?  Sprouting seeds?  Manual and magneto-running garden tools that are EMP proof?  Couple of solar panels, batteries, inverters, shortwave radio?  Ham radio gear, communications plan, guns, … Read More

Like Shooting Fish? Or Do Fish Shoot Back?

Normally, I would post this as a subscriber update on the www.peoplenomics.com site, but I will post to both in order we are all on the same page. I took out a small short position today against the Dow on the theory (as we have discussed many times) that the NASDAQ/techs lead the way. My … Read More

The Comey “Staging” Coincidence?

As we dutifully suffered through the Comey debacle (no smoking gun, just interminable amounts of repeated innuendo and BS) there was one part of the jokestimoney that stood out to a sore thumb to us. Remember the part where Comey went for the “Rid me of this troubled priest” quote? If you missed it, scroll … Read More

Coping: Idiopolis – a First-hand Report

I have to say, one of the reasons I enjoy Oilman2‘s comments so much is that he thinks a lot like me… Smart guy…but prefers the doing to the standing around talking about it.  The accomplishment of the theory, not the exercise of ego so common. So when he sent us this report on Idiopolis, … Read More

Leaks, Hype, and BS: Full Comey Statement etc.

While there is much hoopla, rearranging of television schedules, and endless media hype today over the upcoming testimony of former FBI boss James Comey, one of the major things to do when the mass media is busily making a mass (sic) of things is to look for the more important news in background. It’s been an … Read More

Coping: Our Climate Change Mediation Plan

Unconventional thinking.  That’s what we do best in the East Texas Outback. You see, when people are tightly packed into what we call the “human coops” – the 300 s/f condos and apartments and incredible traffic jams – there’s no quiet space in the head.  That’s where original thinking comes from. This week Elaine and … Read More

A Biphasic Solar Market Correlation

One of our readers was asking just yesterday while I was tinkering with my new high-end graphics package if there was a correlation between the solar eclipse this summer and the coming crash.No, but we DID find a FAR more interesting correlation which is laid out in the ChartPack this morning.That, a few headlines, and … Read More

Market Prospects, Troubled Fall

We have previously explained some of our long wave economics perspectives – something we’ve been sharpening for what will be 20-years on this website come September of this year. While most of our outlooks are held for the subscription-based www.peoplenomics.com site (link on menu)  it still seems fair – at least now and then – … Read More

Coping: With “Luck” and Power Equip,ment

Why, just yesterday we “was havin’ us a cup” talking about “luck.”  And today it’s time to explain how “luck” with runs with you or in some cases over you here in the ETex Outback. Saturday morning, just as soon as Peoplenomics was finished and posted, I jumped out on the lawn tractor and was … Read More

Is ISIS at War Over BREXIT?

If you are working on your UrbanSurvival Junior News Analyst Badge, here’s the question for you to be working on as your “final examination.” Does the evidence support the notion that the terrorism attacks in the UK are really a mechanism through which the factions are still fighting over the future of the UK’s BREXIT … Read More

Coping: Is Our Understanding of “Luck” Wrong?

Other than a weekend playing “Keep Up with the Power Equipment” (which we will get to in a moment) I spent a couple of hours Sunday morning working on “The Luck Problem.” Remember last week’s column?  “Math in the Afterlife“? That symbol (or sigil) I brought out of the dream realms has been bothering me.  … Read More

Setting Up the “Trade of a Lifetime”

Few readers will remember a year and a half back when I was on a national radio show (“Coast”) and said the doom porn crowd would be wrong.  Then last winter I said again that we have several targets ahead in 2017 where the markets COULD hit their all time highs.We’re pleased as punch, once … Read More

Climate, Jobs, and the Left’s (pseudo) Revolution

Oh, sure, it’s not popular to “tell it like it is” anymore.  Why, the right to tell America how to think is reserved for the hyper-opinionated minions of the corporate media and their left-wing parroting shills. Still, in a few places, like here in the Outback of East Texas, there is still an ability to … Read More
