Prepping: Greens and Moon, Shifts

We start off with the ultra short course on survival gardening today because it could become an important issue one day. If You Don’t Have a Green Thumb, read on: Lots of people tell us they don’t have one.  We usually beg to differ.  There is a simple checklist that can keep you out of … Read More

“Tanker War II” – Children in Newsrooms

We begin this morning’s epistle with a note about children in newsrooms.  For, when a big story with significant historical echoes (;like the tanker attacks story)  is breaking around them, the young ones, lacking experience and context, often miss the point. And, so it is, we rely on the US Naval Institute (here) to provide … Read More

Tanker Attacks: War to Follow?

The late Washington-state Senator Henry M. Jackson told me – in about 1970 or 71 “Keep your eye on the Straight of Hormuz.” When it closes, the world will get involved in a Middle East war that could quickly escalate to global and nuclear. Fast forward to overnight: “Two oil tankers struck in suspected attacks … Read More

Whipping Up Some “LazyPonics”

Big report today: Well over 5,000 words plus 29 graphics so it may load a bit slow… What we have is a complete step-by-step on how to put in some home deep water culture (DWC) hydroponics and a big discussion in the chart section about whether the G-20 is driving global stock prices, or whether … Read More

Is This Why Bitcoin Will Self-Destruct?

Forensic economics for breakfast today.  If any of this makes your head hurt, Ure right, it should probably have been put on our Peoplenomics.com subscriber site.  We’re putting it up here because we really don’t wish to be right in our outlook. Let’s start up with a few basics: The big selling point of Bitcoin … Read More

Markets: Is “The News” Predictive?

Prediction and “the News” are on the menu this morning.  This follows both a major financial story – namely, the temporary solution to the Mexico tariffs being levied – and an incredibly interesting vivid dream that was posted to the  Peoplenomics subscriber side Saturday morning at our usual 8 AM posting time. This was some serious … Read More

Serious Woo-Woo (II)

OMG…hard to believe this.  Yet Another Building Collapse. Yeah…so this happened on Sunday in early afternoon in New York City and is headlined on WABC as “Partial Building Collapse in Manhattan…:” This may only make sense to Peoplenomics subscribers, but I had a “building collapse dream” on Friday night (early Sat AM). This was (I … Read More

New “Feature” Added to UrbanSurvival

Got to say, with the unrelenting censorship of views on a certain large social(ist) media platform, a lot of moderately conservative types to conservative liberal types can be found here freely discussing a lot of interesting topics.  Invasion by Mexico, them wanting states back (Revolcion 3.0) and the ICE dumpings in cities that are far … Read More

Peoplenomics Subscriber Update (Public)

In Saturday’s Peoplenomics column, I wondered aloud about the oneironaut experience I had Friday night that involved a building collapse.  Last item in the PN Saturday report. So, as part of my follow-up, here may be the “building collapse” with aspects of “scrambling up” and “bricks” that I was “seeing” ahead of time:  A partial collapse … Read More

“The 100-Year Toaster” (Ch.5 of book)

Survivors can’t rule out famine. Although what will really happen in the long-term is out of everyone’s reach, if we are to transition out of a less monetized existence, there will be widespread social risk.  One of the largest of these is “food risk.” Not just the risks with a pesticide lawsuit, nor the idea … Read More

Prepping: Your “500-Hour Skill Sets”

Now and then I get into conversations with my son about his next visit down here…which may come during summer, but hopefully September after the heat breaks. The reason?  It will be a fine time to work on a couple of his “500-hour skills.”  You see, he’s a prepper/survival-type, too. Many people don’t realize it, … Read More

Big Trouble with Mexico this Weekend?

Although we have a market that is still on crack, we wonder if the markets are yet discounting the remarks (a week ago) by a Mexican Senator – one Félix Salgado Macedonio – who is promoting Revolution 3.0 and has announced Mexico’s intent to move ahead with Reconquista.  Here’s what he tweeted May 31: Trump … Read More

Jobs Report, Science Debunking “Science?”

This being Friday. it’s lawn and garden day around here, so we will be posting this morning’s report in pieces.  By doing this, I can get my lawn mowed (and maybe edged) before breakfast and the market open.  Or not… Jobs Report Just out from the Labor Department: “The unemployment rate remained at 3.6 percent … Read More
