OK – a few internet issues. But the big problem to consider this weekend is a major market break. For this, we have our usual 18-charts in our ChartPack series.
These are useful because they are not “single index” measurements. Because, as we learned from the Internet Bubble bursting back in 2000-2003, letting financial shills quote only one index (often selected in a dishonest, self-serving way) can mislead the public.
Then on the topic of the Internet outage, a few comments based on my 2012 book “Broken Web.” Because, honestly, we’re surprised the web hasn’t experienced a major break like this previously. And please note, it was only a few months back that we rolled the UrbanSurvival website onto a numerical IP address.
Mainly, it’s another one of those “Just the fact, ma’am” kind of days (following Friday, if you will…).

read a cute story last night.. that Texas closed the border to illegals..
the illegals are coming into the country via California and Homeland is flying them from california to Texas LOL and other states.. costing the US citizens god what was the number they said something on the order of eighty thousand dollars a week.. LOL.. it is so weird.. can’t isolate texas from airplane traffic..
I fail to see how this nonsense is legal by any stretch of the imagination! Who is DHS working for and what is their legitimate goal, if any?
I have many good friends who are LEGAL aliens. Nothing wrong with that, and on average, LEGAL aliens are more law abiding than regular natural born citizens. They have to study the law and obey it to even get their status.
There’s no excuse for allowing this influx of unvetted foreigners! I have to show proof of citizenship to enter my own country, but for some reason they don’t have to show anything to enter a foreign country(USA for them).
Don’t get me started on foreigners voting in American elections!
They are going to vote to..
I don’t have any issues with someone coming to the USA to work raise a family legally.. get vetted and pay the same taxes we do.. a citizen has to pay in to the system taxes and social security for forty quarters before they can get benefits.. coming in and receiving a check just for crossing the border and getting services that was designed for citizens Going through catastrophic life situations..there isn’t anything wrong with the good Samaritan programs the problem lies with them using them for wage adjustment benefits so company executives can justify their inflated wages..
in San Fran where someone making just shy a quarter mil a year has to depend on social programs to obtain food or utilities is wrong.. the business model has to be fixed.. if some numb nuts making a million a years secretary has to get food stamps to put milk and bread on the table there’s a break in the system..
“Who is DHS working for and what is their legitimate goal, if any?”
They are working for the Executive Branch of the Government i.e. Whomever is pulling Joe Biden’s strings. The rank and file have the choice of following orders that are going to be carried out whether they follow them, or not, or quitting. Quitting doesn’t feed their kids.
The “rank & file” in our Federal Agencies follow orders or quit. THEY want the borders closed and the invasion stopped, more than any of us, but their bosses want the invasion, want the nation to fail, want the World to unite under a communist banner. Only the top of the Executive can clean the commies out of their lifetime jobs. It can also only be done if the Executive has enough support in the Legislative that Executive housecleaning isn’t overridden by a McCain or a Murkowski or a Collins, or even a McConnell, and the Federal Court System can’t be used to gum up the works…
yup one look at how many whistle blowers will give a good example on how many… estimates is if one person complains it is considered in marketing to be an indication that there are ten thousand with the same complaint.. if you consider that estimate in marketing terms.. Almost everyone in the Agency is upset at how the agency is being used.. it is the same with the rest of the programs to.. the people in the agencies believe in the jobs they do and are now stuck in a job where they are doing what is against their moral and ethical values of right and wrong..who ever is truly running this country doesn’t have best interests of the US citizens needs in their intentions.
Driver vision tester hacked to make senior citizens fail by showing VERY SNALL letters defeated in New Mexico in 2024.

This is of major concern! Living in the outback requires self-reliance and not having a license would be as incapacitating as having a warrant out for you! Driving is essential for mobility unless we have affordable rural self-driving cars, and that’s unlikely in the next few decades. NM has too many rules and regulations, and it may be necessary to find a new home if this continues.
Over the years Iran has been two weeks away and not much has changed. The system has us in suspension with the same news bubbles passing over and over.
At this point the Trump assassination attempt has been through the obfuscator so many times I think he’s in on it.

“being exposed and everyone is smelling it”
Vance used to bad mouth Trump but now he’s in cahoots. Why would Trump pick someone who used to bad mouth him? Words don’t mean anything that’s why. In general don’t listen to their words look at their actions.
I was talking to a pal a few days ago and his take on the rising market is it is pricing in a Trump win. To me if the market is rising into a presidential election it is pricing in a continuation and not a change in leadership.

And another thing I noticed is Vance’s wife, Usha is a practicing Hindu who converted JD into a vegetarian. Hindu’s just don’t like cow eaters. Burger joints are sacrilegious to them.
“Visvasyamataraha” means mother of all universe. What is special about such a cow is that there are 33 crore deities in cows. Our Hindu tradition says that only one cow has this opportunity. Each part of cow i.e. eye, legs, belly, like this, there is one God.”

Hmm a change in loyalties by billionaires… hmm.. could it be that they like being billionaires… ????
It is quite obvious that if inflation goes up forty percent.. and your investments are not exeeding that forty percent increase.. then you are losing money.. a forty percent increase and a two percent or even ten percent increase in profits towards what you have shoved in a jar.. means your still losing thirty to thirty eight percent of the value of what you have shoved in the jar burried in the backyard.. MONEY .. is only good if it is moving.. the velocity of cash..
Seen the contents of what would have been an ancient vault.. what was in there was a string of clay beads.. a hair comb a few old coins.. a sword and a large cask of wine..
Money was invented to reflect an object it could buy.. coins were the easy way to carry tradeable metals .. while it appears that they are either faking their alignment to a candidate they are also considering their overall value.. and if the value of what you have is gone.. you have nothing.. buying a farm rather than a truck load of bread is a huge thing..
with age and experience some people grow and learn new information that leads to conversion. I also used to not give a crap about Trump. It was what he did after getting into office and how the demons attacked him for it, that got my attention.
the Q posts gave me an eye into the evil that exist in government and hollywood, that benefit from the cooperation from the propaganda machine aka the main stream corporate news machine
The exposure of the demonic forces that have been ruling over US got my attention. The satanic pedophiles that harvest the adrenochrome from tortured children are real, but you don’t ‘see’ it,,, yet, because you want to go with the ‘daughter showering’ “pedo joe” as nicknamed by his own son the crack smoking “smartest man I know” son of joe,,, eyes wide shut
you seem unable to see the forces that removed JFK and RFK and now attempted to do Trump in. You can’t see that it is the stolen government that has ruled over US since the Un Constitutional creation of the Federal Reserve, that was put in force by deception and corrupted CONgressmen . England [Royals and bankers] never attacked US again since that happen, they now control US, They who control the money controls the strings that guide the puppets that make bad laws, keeping you in debt slavery.
Yet you end your rant with the attempt to create the appearance of Vance pushing the new world order bug eating program.
I do not care if some one wants to eat bugs, but what I value is those who believe in and follow the US Constitution,,, PERIOD
you only attack with no solution offered, as my candidates, Trump/Vance, have and will continue to support the US and the Constitution that forms it.

more food for thought and I Quote
“Harrison H. Smith ?
@HarrisonHSmith
So let me see if I have this Crowdstrike story straight….
When Hillary Clinton was Sec. of State, she was illegally funneling sophisticated weapons through Libya to terrorists in the MidEast in an effort to take out Assad in Syria for Israel. When the weapons transfer went sideways and the US Ambassador was killed in Benghazi, it was discovered she was using an illegal private server for secret communications. She destroyed the server, but not before its contents were leaked by Wikileaks, including communications about bizarre occult rituals and inexplicable code words involving children and pizza. Instead of investigating the leak themselves, the FBI relied on a Crowdstrike investigation that falsely claimed the server was hacked by Russia. The FBI cleared HC despite admitting she broke the law, and launched the Russiagate investigation, using more fake Clinton campaign disinfo to tie Trump to Russia to get a FISA warrant and spy on Trump while leaking dirt to the press to undermine first his campaign, then his presidency. When Trump had a call with Zelenskyy and asked about Crowdstrike, a “whistleblower” falsely claimed quid-pro-quo and launched the first impeachment to stop Trump’s inquiries. (It was in the midst of this impeachment trial, btw, when Event 201 took place. But that’s another story.) Fast forward to 2024 and Trump is dominating Biden when he miraculously survives a deep state orchestrated assassination attempt two days before the RNC. Two days later Crowdstrike causes the biggest computer network crash in all of history, knocking millions of corporate and government systems offline for hours.
Other than the fact that Blackrock owns Crowdstrike and a Blackrock affiliated investment firm placed millions of dollars betting against DJT in the hours before the assassination attempt by a shooter who was featured in a Blackrock promo, did I miss anything?

“you seem unable to see the forces that removed JFK and RFK and now attempted to do Trump in”
If that’s the case nothing we say/do matters at all because ‘the forces’ will prevail as they have for at least the last 60+ years since JFK. Which you may be right. There could be something to “Directorate 153”.
“Solutions”
Ending deficit spending is a good solution. It’s just not going to happen. Talk to the cows come home about ending the Fed Reserve. Good luck with it coming to pass.
It’s not an attack. Usha is a cow worshiper. A lot of people used to say America was founded on Christian beliefs and maybe that is/was the reason for greatness. Did anyone buy a Trump bible – what does it say about worshiping cows?
@TOBD
“did I miss anything?”
Not much. There’s a stray conclusion or two, and there are some things out of order, but…
Israel didn’t want Assad gone, Soros, Nuland, and the “deep staters” here did. Assad is a brute. So was Qaddafi, and Hussein, and even the Shah. It is a brutal part of the world, and it REQUIRES brutes to run it. When a vacuum is created, the next brute, often more-autocratic and less of a “people person” than the last, steps up to take his place. (Witness Libya and Iran…) However bad Syria is under Assad, it would be worse under the next despot.
“Benghazi” was actually arranged to arkancide Christopher Stevens. I’ve made it a point not to know details, but was acquainted with Stevens’ BFF and I trust his word.
“a “whistleblower” falsely claimed quid-pro-quo and launched the first impeachment to stop Trump’s inquiries.”

Always thought heat index was a psyop but couldn’t figure out how, maybe just to cause general confusion. Look at the thermometer, it’s 102… No the radio says it’s 107!! Notice it never goes LESS than thermometer…!!
Hal Turner has this on his SW page:
“EMERGENCY BROADCASTS DURING CATASTROPHE (i.e. WW3)

heres a link so you can understand the heat index
I noticed this year that ALL “professional” weather broadcasts (many of the locals are still honest) went to using the “heat index” or “feels like” numbers instead of actual temperature forecasts and reports.
This is because 107 sounds a lot scarier than 97, and the listeners don’t know the difference, anyway.

My father use to say..heavenly father will not give you more than you can endure.. obviously he or she must believe I am the strongest SOB out there with all the lows….or he has a sense of humor..the moment you say..how could it get worse..then it slaps you senseless..Then I thought maybe it’s a test to teach me..similar t vto testing the fire alarms or changing the smoke alarms batteries..
this situation showed you one weakness..that requires surge protection against lightning or an emp back flash..
our power company has been pushing to every customer..put on backup power..after we did we discovered the weakness of the system..right away the power went out we lost a freezer and a thousand pounds if beef and chicken..six months we fought it till in May they finally fixed it.. but the weakness was exposed as a believer that this is a learning module .. I got a backup to the backup.. with a grandson that’s still scared of the dark I’ve been teaching him how lamps and lighting works..so when this happens again he will have light..
we see what we normally use as an item that will always be there..preppers prep with power tools..chainsaws etc. not once considering the what if…
the Donner party didn’t ever consider the what if.. then when the what if happened they were stuck in the position of oh shit what do we do now..
I believe that we are shown the things in the areas we have to anticipate..man has the power to choose ..sometimes we gripe and bitch but then never learn from it..as far of does heavenly father exist..absolutely..I think of the times I was desperately in need of his help..he answered my prayers.. I swore I would never forget where I have been and would repay it..so when I see the obvious need.. I do what I can to help those struggling in areas that they are lacking.. .not to carry them but to give them a hand up not a hand out..
He does have a wicked sense of humor!
An old friend was just talking to me about where they work..they got rid of the DON that was good and hired a clear cutter.. they couldn’t understand why they would put someone like that in that position..
in fifty years its always like that..to justify the wages of the executives they have to balance the budgets.. so get rid of lower staff members.. maintenance housekeeping and kitchen and techs.. nurses aids ..
unlike a govt run hospital or medical facility..that is funded by taxes.. a for profit facility has to justify those insane wages..and they have expenses that a govt ran facility doesn’t have.. so to get the budget under control.. they have only a couple areas to budget.. food… and staffing.. they won’t cut executives wages instead they go after the support staff..get rid of the DON that genuinely cares and works with the staff to hire in one that’s notorious for their really attitudes to make staff miserable enough to quit.. they went from 12 to 4 staff for nights and similar drop outs for evenings..
its always worked like that..once their budgets are normalized they will move the clear cutter into an area they won’t chase people away but still available should the need arise again..
ten minutes in the break room having coffee with the workers will answer any questions you might have about the management.. I tell the kids look what turnover rate they have..if they have a fifty percent turnover..your only temp help.. fifty fifty chance really management that could care less about their employees..
medical has always been the work short shift job..especially if you work swing or night shift..

Folks,
A big thank you to DJ George for the zig-zag ride through the charts closing out with a wave-tossed version of “Wooden Boats” from CSNY.
Speaking of wooden boats, CBS has a “full transcript of the interview that aired in part” from last month’s “Face the Nation” with Mr. Bill Gates, KBE (Knight Commander of the British Empire). At the end Bill is asked to weigh in on Microsoft security issues vis-a-vis threats from the land of Chinese junks.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bill-gates-transcript-face-the-nation-06-16-2024/
By the way, the book on the shelf with blurry cover face to camera is none other than Mr. Gates 2022 magnum opus, “How to Prevent the Next Pandemic”.
Okay Kemosabes, mask up and dial in on the landline bbs to DJ George. “William Tells Overture” is on deck.
My thoughts on a few comments made yesterday.
For the record. My best combat shot was from just a touch over 620 yards. [ M21/Redfield] I was not in an open environment like the middle east., or urban settings. Just seeing someone at over 600 yards in a jungle environment was in itself, a feat.
My favorite rifle.., I have several long range – reach out and touch someone – rifles., but my favorite is an older model, bolt action, Remington Police. [ 7.62 NATO] I like that little rifle. It’s been milled and drilled, hones and polished and as customized as possible. If I am up to it, it is a quarter inch MOA at 100 yards. [Yes – YARDS ! ., not meters.]
My favorite target out to 600 yards is a playing card. Not a huge 12 inch bulls eye., Just a small simple playing card. Constantly and consistently.
I damn near fell off my chair when I read about the record distance shot. About a year ago. The rifle cost over $25,000 to make. Each round was $18. The rifle was actually bolted to a firing platform., and it took 27 shots to hit a four foot by six foot target. What the hell good is that !?
All this talk about shooting a mile., or a half mile., with a Barrett 50. I don’t know a single person with a 50cal rifle. You fire that sucker twice and you’ll be wondering just what the hell are you doing. You don’t need that kind of bragging-rights. Useless as far as I am concerned. A gun safe queen. “Lookie what I got, Bubba ! ” – yeah.., rrright.
You are laying prone right next to the goal post on a football field. At 600 yards how big does an average height man appear? That’s six football fields – perfectly flat and open. Just how tall is that average man., say – five foot eight., to the unaided eye ?? And if he is sitting down?
Keep it realistic and logical. Simple and repairable. and especially ammo costs. You are not in the military, and you aren’t camel hunting. If it costs too much for your exotic ammo, you won’t be practicing very much. .., and if you want to be a good, very very consistent shooter – you have to practice.. a lot and constantly.
I am reminded of a story I read about a record sniper shot, either middle east or Vietnam, I can’t remember. But the sniper spotted a glint out at some obscene distance, took his aim and fired. Upon examination of the victim later, it was found the bullet went thru his ‘scope and blew his brains out.
Myth busters devoted an episode to this story. They couldn’t get it to happen even at point blank range. It seems the glass in the scope blocks the bullet. Not counting the Ukraine report I believe longest range confirmed sniper kills were made with a .338 lappua rifle. Rifles chambered for the lappua are readily available but are frequently returned because the ammunition is bloody expensive.
338 is an excellent round. One of the best. Recommended by many. It is also one of the most expensive. Practicing a couple times a week is gonna cost ya.
History Channel had a special on snipers. They featured that shot and I believe m/l duplicated it using a present-day sniper.
.338 is the standard SpcOp long-range round. The Rangers and Seals don’t have to buy their own ammo. I do, so a .308 is plenty sufficient…
Sounds like Carlos Hathcock.
In order for him to make that shot , the VC soldier had to have been looking directly at Carlos through his scope. Carlos got the first squeeze.
Off to the side , on longest kill shot , I thought that there was a Canadian in Afghanistan who got a confirmed kill at around two miles. Seems to me like a pure lucky shot. The dope behind that shot would be near incomprehensible.
I think you’re right, except the shot was 1.2 miles, not two. Absolute luck. There’s no way to gauge either windage or drop…
Carlos Hathcock aka White Feather in Vietnam!
Amazingly, ‘The Deer Hunter’ (1978) took place in Clairton PA, 10 miles from Bethel Park, and Vietnam. Robt De Niro does not like Trump. Arguably one of the most gripping movies I’ve ever watched:

Carlos Hathcock in Vietnam.
p.s. I did hear rumblings of a 2 mile plus shot. Confirmed. Ukraine. Some time last year. 4,000 plus yards
I’ve been blessed to have lived 83 years and never been in combat, serving my 3 year hitch in the Army from 1959 to 1962. But I have done a little long range shooting. Five years ago I went to Whittington Center near Raton, NM for a “Known Distance Appleseed” event. After a full day of working with our scoped rifles to get a sense of what adjustments to make (doping) and recording the results of our studies, the following day we moved to the “White Buffalo” range. There we put into practice what we had learned the previous day, and with the help of a great spotter, we were all hitting the buffalo (white steel cutout) at 1,123 yards. After hitting it with regularity, I set aside the scoped rifle and pulled out my M1 Garand (a year younger than I am) and my 1976 Greek Surplus ammo. Adjusting the rear sight to the 1,200 mark, my first two shots went over the target. When I backed it down to just above the 1,000 mark I started clacking the target… with iron sights and Mark I eyeball. The instructor mentioned that’s not too bad for an old dude.

I had a chance about 10 years ago. Watched one sell at a police auction for $700. Fortunately, I only had eyes for a Weatherby .300 with a burl stock. $6/shot is a little rich for my blood…
ohh a storie before i go. there was this really rich fella with his young trophy wife at the races last night.
i said whose dat. my buddie said oh she with that super rich dude. you dont have a chance cowboy. i said i will bet ya fifty bucks right now i can get her to show me her tits right infront of him. he said you are on. we spit on our hands and shook on it.
so we walk over there and i start pouring on the charm. shes smiling and laughing. the Rich dude says hey! she is with me. i said ok mister, i might not be able to fuck her. but i bet i can beat her in a fight and smiled.
she smiled, grabbed the bottom of her tank top pulled it up to her neck and showed us her tits. i said smiled and said you win honey.
her rich asshole husband laughed.
we walked away and i said pay up sucker. my buddy is laughing his ass off hands me the cash and says best fifty dollars i ever spent.
yes sir.
hahahhaa
Now THAT was funny!! LOL.

George,
Why the collapse of gold, silver, and crypto valuations?
Because the plurality of global debt is denominated in dollars. Those assets must be sold off in order to convert those assets to dollars and pay-off an enormous accumulation of dollar denominated debt …
And not to mention that when all this debt is repatriated, will it not drive inflation in a manner the Fed cannot stop? At some point it wants to roost – so in the long-term PMs should rise.
But a Depression first and that’s when the pants come down for un-backed, nonconvertible dollars. In the end, without fixed convertibility, it’s just paper.
Oh, and Nixon was a fool and all others in the Oval and Congress along the way.
I always think of overseas USA bonds being akin to holding a mortgage on a house (in another country) that is on fire. If there is no other collateral, the value of the bond on the home goes to zero. But there is still some underlying dirt that might be owed… German Weimar in a nutshell.
People don’t generally recognize that one of the dollar’s main “convertibility’s” is into Defense of any country that will grovel and put up assets. My, what fun to be the counterparty whose home is on fire, et?

BRENT JOHNSON: Now, everybody knows that the United States owes $30 trillion, but I don’t think as many people realize that the rest of the world owes over $30 trillion in US dollars. And the key is that they don’t owe it to the United States, they owe it to themselves. So again, it’s Turkey owing it to France, or it’s India, or South Africa, or whatever it is. The point with this is that to de-dollarize, they would also have to de-leverage all that US dollar debt.

gold and silver never hold value in catastrophic events.. only time it holds value is when people still see it as value collecting it.
I use to have a photo of people with baskets of gold and silver ware and bowls during the Weimar depression as tge y went to trade it for vegetables
Ure perception seems tunneled deep into Ure outlook.
Loob – really ? cmon man. Ure photo from weimar Germany – shows baskets full of SOMETHING OF VALUE with which to Exchange for Food.
IF it “never” held Value, your pictures would be FAKES .
GOLD historically holds Value better than any other asset/commodity and or metal during and after cat. events.
Ancient Gold mines all over Africa/Kankala – Ancient’s obviously valued it..(can U say Mono-atomic white Gold powder?) = 50% of perscription formula for long life of Sumerian Kings on SK’s list.
The other 50 % of formula is literally unobtainium on surface of Planet these days..no guarantees any one would give it to you, if you ever did track down a source..
* Ure in a foriegn country and scheisse goes south overnight – Whitey is now persona no grata, and will be shot or worse on contact with Insurgents/Revolutionaries.
? – what do YOU want to Barter with for a Seat on Plane/Train/Ship outta said unfolding revolution/civil war ?
? Freeze Dried Food Packages and Bottled Water, a bucket of KFC or some Gold Coins ?
Choose wisely – Ure life may depend on it ; )
(“for example, here in East Texas, we routinely get temps over 110F feeling. Even though the dry bulb readings seldom go much over 96F.”)
I have told the wife we need to move closer to the equator.. my joints feel so much better when the day is like that.. there’s nothing better than a Hot Muggy Day with the mosquitoes biting….
While I know how to call up a specific post with the PN Master index, i haven’t figured out how to call up a post for a specific non-PN day. Is there some syntax trick required to access with Ure search function?
