Holiday Spirit Data, A Request to MSFT

A super busy day ahead, since we are sneaking up on Christmas (Monday) and we’re half-way expecting the market to blow down a bit going into the extended weekend.

Two reasons we can harbor such fears: first is tax selling and also the world situation.

Now, my consigliere thinks I’m nuts.  “Corporations are going to hold things up through the end of the year because of Bonus pools and comp packages. Annual report puffery…that kinda thing.”  After he mentioned it, I felt a bit embarrassed because obviously tax selling would be to lock-in losses to offset gains.  OK, so maybe that won’t be such a big deal, then.

On the other hand, the world-sit sucks. We are swimming in wars and something touching the American homeland in 2024 seems more likely than being passed over, as it were.  Might as well do the high-level war check right here:

One idea that popped up in dinnertime conversation was the notion of the gambling community figuring out something like a sports book, but where you could bet on future world events. Close in stuff, like the next week, or three.

What drives us to thinking about this is the CME Fed Watch tool, which is a near real-time tote board on rates. A place where you could walk in, study a bunch of big screens rolling all the closed captioning news worldwide and then place a bet on how the next 24-hours would turn out.

Seems to me that’d be a little more reality-based than traditional slot machines.  Though, in fairness, that’s a faster game, for sure.

One hopeful sign as we roll into the year-end is that hope remains eternally present in headlines. US and North Korea: Testing the Water on Arms Control and Reduction – Foreign Policy Research Institute (fpri.org).  No, we wouldn’t bet on it, but it’s a nice distraction while NorK nuke projects continue.

Though, in passing, we’re not sure if there isn’t some War Party thought asymmetry.  In that the U.S. has a congressionally passed Policy that Iran doesn’t get to have nuclear weapons.  Yet there’s North Korea, threatening the South virtually daily, yet we have sent the ass-kickers top the Med. Maybe there’s still technically a state of war between us, but there’s just too much money to be made in the defense industry (who’s going to hire all the relatives and kin of congreased critters, right?) to actually do something.

I must have spent too much time in management. Because it seems to me that if the U.S. had pursued an aggressive focus on one offensive country for, oh, three-years, neutralized the threat entirely, we would be down to only one or two problems (ifs any) in the world today.

But, of course, there’s no economic charade of growth in Peace and the world’s on a resource depletion slope, such that maybe international elites figure wars will be more functional.  But, they’re sure less moral and obviously less fun, that one strategic major victory a year.

Should mention this is not exactly original on my part.  China is showing the world how to do this with their Belt and Road Initiative which is how they are engineering a century-length position of global dominance.  Continuity of purpose seems to be difficult for us to grasp.  We have great founding plans but here in the last 15-20 years, it’s all broken loose its moorings and our Ship of State is not only adrift, but listing badly to the left.

Haul Out the Data

Yeah, guess we ought to do that.  Where to begin?  We have new unemployment filings, the latest GDP, Philly Fed outlook, corporate profits, and then halfway to lunch leading economic indicators.  Since you’re not talking to your computer, I’ll just throw a dart.  Which lands where?

GDP

Real and phony.  Real GDP is the one you want because it attempts to back out inflation.  ‘Cuz if you measure by money – and you’re just making that up on the fly – it doesn’t mean much.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 4.9 percent in the third quarter of 2023 (table 1), according to the “third” estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real GDP increased 2.1 percent.

GDP per capita is one of my favorites to look at. We are, as a nation, a bunch of proud and boisterous people.  But not the world leaders in GDP per capita.  That’s Luxembourg.  We come in #8.

GDP is also a key number in figuring out the Velocity of Money, too.  Think of this as “How often does money change hands.” Because the faster the velocity, the more “action” will be seen in business.

Thus, from the early 1990s, the problem of government has been (though no one will tell you this) making up enough money to make it seem like everything is fine.  When, in reality, the turnover of money was heading into a crater when Covid showed up.  Conveniently, in economic terms, because it has given everyone cover to high from national honesty about losing our “edge.”  Which we have, but that’s more a Peoplenomics topic, not something to be handwringing over with Santa due to visit.

Second Dart:  Corporate Profits

Profits increased 3.4 percent at a quarterly rate in the third quarter after increasing 0.2 percent in the second quarter.

Philly Fed:

“The diffusion index for current general activity declined from -5.9 in November to -10.5 in December (see Chart 1). This is the index’s 17th negative reading in the past 19 months. Almost 26 percent of the firms reported decreases (up from 18 percent last month), exceeding the 15 percent reporting increases (up from 12 percent); 56 percent of the firms reported no change in current activity (down from 70 percent last month). The new orders index dropped sharply from 1.3 to -25.6 in December. The shipments index rose 7 points from last month but remained negative at -10.8.”

Last toss: Unemployment filings:

And where it was being felt.

A little on the Christmassy side with falling filings, as it were, but what’s a geezer to do?

Markets?

We would sure like to see the market rally into the close tomorrow.  Wednesday’s performance looked like a possible top of the rally, but we won’t know that until the Fed and its proxies and pals figure out how to play it.  And even then, it’s only going to work until the Houthi’s get their aim better and/or Egypt invades Gaza as payback. Count on Biden prepares to launch missile strike on Houthi rebels amid crisis in Red Sea (gbnews.com). Meanwhile, the high-level con continues as US Using High-Level Diplomacy to Avoid Vetoing a UN Resolution on Crucial Aid for Gaza – The Messenger.  Looks bad to veto aid publicly.  Besides, the War Party is good at back room deals.  Ask Ukraine.

So far, that “10-nation force” is looking a little wishful: US Red Sea Task Force Gets Limited Backing From Some Allies. We’re not counting 10 in this “coalition” yet.  Try 5 or 6…

Which has moved our Elliott wave and Trend Channel charts into position for at least a pause:

A modest rally into Friday may set up a year-end decline, but we keep an eye on our crossing moving averages work to see when the “blue under red, market is dead” shows up:

We’ll just focus on sniping with levered financial products that take advantage of where the trading boxes (green, above) seem to be hinting.

For giggles, we will see if Santa can sell the reindeer on cryptos. With BTC eyeing $45,000, that’s only about a 30 percent drop (still) from all-time highs.  Reindeer might be stupid enough to bite…

Santa needs to get into cash and start salting away government (war) bonds.  He may not have a service area by this time next year.

Politics, Other

The Bump Trump story flows slow: What Colorado’s Supreme Court refuses to understand about Trump, 14th Amendment (foxnews.com).  What was anyone expecting from a liberal-packed court?  We’re waiting for California, Oregon, and “Sideshow Bob” in Washington to jump on this clatter trap ruling.  Trump has never been so much as charged with insurrection or rebellion.  But demoscraps love their overreach, don’t they?

Not to bitch about The Law but the story US man declared innocent after 48 years in prison (rte.ie) is offensive as hell.  His conviction was overturned in July, but the victim of injustice didn’t get out of prison until this week.  Age 71 now – this guy we figure is owed a HUGE payday.

Around the Ranch: “Dear Microsoft”

I have a simple request.  Please add the “Block Sender’s Domain” to your Outlook menu. So I (and we, the public) don’t have to fart around with three or four clicks to get the job done.

Now the details:

I get a shit-load of junk email.  Been on the web since it wasn’t the web, yet.  And yesterday, I decided that your “Block Sender” option was insufficient for the modern world.  Here’s the results of just one day of domain level blocking entered manually. See the junk in 22-hours listed below?

Here’s the Consumer problem.  Say I get an email from a “bill@scammyemailoufit.com”  I use the menu and click “Block Sender.”

10-minutes later, I get another email from the same domain but it’s from bob@scammyemailoutfit.com.

As all the grown-ups in the room know, you can right click under email options (click #1) and then scroll down to Junk and then (click #2) to “Junk Email options.”

Now that I’m in the right place, I have to click on the “Blocked Senders” tab.  (Click #3).

Then I have to click on “Add” the domain to block. (Click #4).

Then I have to remember the offending domain and put it in manually typing it. In this case I have to type in the domain

“@scammyemailoutfit.com”

Even this isn’t enough for you.  I Have to click “OK” (click #5), then “Apply” (click #6) and finally “OK” to close the dialog box (click #7).

You’d think that was enough time-wasting on the offending email pricks, but because you have nerds, not humans, you may have missed that the offending email STILL has to be eliminated “Block Sender” and that’s not an effective block.

Now, maybe ya’ll are in bed with email phishers and scammers and maybe there’s some kind of deal-with-the-devil you can’t talk about (like whose name will be on the Epstein list?). But Ure is a workflow populist.

Please add “Block Sender and Sender Domain” to the right-click menu. A right click and a left click would save civilian humans huge amounts of grief. 

PATENT IT. Send me royalties!

Or, like I said, has anti-phishing been such a big employer (email houses, software add-ins, etc.) that your company has no interest in getting something this simple right for the end user?

Please! (I don’t want to send this to Thunderbird‘s developers (who may already have it, I don’t know.)

Write when you get rich, (and when right-click scam email domain blocking is common).

George@Ure.net

[PS: Am I really this smart, that no one else has thought of this, or is the world really and truly this fucked up?]  (no, you don’t have to answer that…)

  1. Thanks for pointing out that the velocity of money is increasing. Based on the decrease in M2 money supply for the last several months, I had been expecting the financial markets to tank — but that assumes that the velocity is nearly constant. The important number is money supply times velocity and velocity is increasing faster than the money supply is shrinking. Of course there is enough fuel to keep the financial markets jumping.
    My guess is that the higher interest rates are behind the higher velocity. It was easy to keep some unused cash around when no one paid a decent interest rate, but at 5%, folks (and companies) are inclined to take their cash out of the sock drawer and put it in the economy.
    Everything works with a lag, so the increasing velocity might prop up the economy longer than anyone expects.

  2. “send royalties” ????

    I gave youse BTC at way lower levels – Ure of course took that good news – insulted and beat me over the head with it. Same with BTC miners – scammy ?! As per usual no good deed goes unpunished around these parts.
    Have you seen the value of the USD lately ?

    USA cant even pay interest on its “corporate” debt anymore, hope youse got some Oil reserves…whoops. Oh well at least crooked joe is paying off moar student debt, sending moar $$ to kraine and israhell. Wont be long before they they start buying peoples mortgages – they will take ownership, but at least you will have $$$ left over to buy some delish ground bug meal every month. Yum!

    Oh well Cleopatra, stockholmed it is.

    PS- Ure war bonds – Im a seller – not worth the paper they will be printed on, no one but the EDS/stockholmed peeps would buy junk like that. Think LMT/RTX/BAESY/NOC -the war basket.

      “Not trying to be unkind here, BUT:

      1.) Why do so many WN and NS “leaders” in America resemble the clique of boys who in high school were entrusted to handle the audio-visual equipment? Have any of these worthy fellows ever been punched in the face on the playground, let alone punched back?

      2.) How is it that dope-addled, besotted, low-IQ bikers can build large, multi-chaptered organizations that are a serious threat to their enemies, but the alleged cream of the White Race can only stumble and shoot themselves in the feet as the years and decades pass?

      3.) Given that in times past the well-organized Jews have en-mass exterminated their enemies — real, perceived, and imagined, using the assets of states they have subverted and taken over, how many of you know that they have been observing, cataloging, and tracking Internet and social media posts and comments for some time now, preparing to genocide YOU soon, in a multi-pronged program utilizing viruses, targeted “health care,” power grid blackouts, and death squads comprised of non-White illegal migrants they have been importing, arming, and training for a number of years? As you do know, most ANTIFA members are effete, sub-standard weakling and punks…but so was Leon Trotsky, right? You know, the nerdy, retarded-looking Jew who built the Red Army from mass quantities of criminals, underprivileged semi-morons, and envious losers?

  4. Non-prepper?

    I’m not one yet; but I’m “trending.”
    I’ve been a volunteer emergency worker (Communications) since I was a brand-new Novice ham in 1962. Novices had 2-meter AM in them there hoary old days. (Repeaters hadn’t really been invented yet.) Our gang of Kidd radio Novices formed the core capability of the Civil Defense effort of the day. It was good fun in public service.

    I worked in that vineyard until just recently — often giving public presentations in basic prepology to groups, and having some solid success at it.

    I just now turned 79 years old. I think I’m all done with anything one might call comprehensive preppeing. ( I
    lost my soul-mate in August to nasty cancer.)

    I’m tired.

    I’m blind in one eye, and I have A-Fib, COPD, asthema, diabetes (well-controlled), and am not in hugely good overall physical condition. I have (smartly) given up on driving — just not up to the job safely.

    I live about 12 miles from what I think may be America’s largest and most important military base — Combined Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base. Big. Really Big.

    I’m sure it’s in any enemy’s “10-ring.” (For Nooking.)

    So, I’m likely to go out in the first few minutes of any Really Big Deal sudden nookwar with any enemy with High Capability. I would not be terribly surprised to see a huge blinding light coming in my rear window at any moment, now. Right before the over-pressure pulse wave arrives….

    Nobody lives to be 147 — so, at this point for me it’s not a great loss.

    I have plenty of basic supplies, such as food and clean stored water, for maybe six months. No mortgage, and the house is sound. For now.

    So, I think I’m done: and I’ll sit on (and maintain) this stack until whatever happens happens.

    Best of luck and good wishes to all who still struggle to beat whatever wicked thing this way comes.

    My belief is that the post-nookwar world will not be worth inheriting. It would only be the beginning of struggles and misery. I’m just not up to it anymore.

    7.299 by day: 3.999 by night. We all still have a lot of knowledge to share.

    • HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT
      79 is not an end – only a beginning
      Your holidays task is to come up with 10 worthwhile fun things you can do that will help raise our replacements.

      Get more involved in lcl ham club, be a VE (you may be already) (volunteer examiner or the un radioed)
      Try this small scale hydroponics stuff
      Plant a (something) the HOA won’t get pissy about
      Finih and document DXCC (if you haven’t)
      Learn to cook 1 new thing a week
      Take a train trip across america
      Visit a national park
      Stay in a view hotel room in 3- cities
      Write a book…
      wow – I have an amazing list

      And the most important one of all? Learn to watch the world. Come to appreciate how the great architect of Universe makes it all work with (not often) divine intervention. Like a self-winding world.
      When looked at this way, it’s a jaw dropping place every day you hold air…

      Then figure out how to make local events work so synergistically with so little effort. Something Andy does, I’m sure of it. It’s a love, respect and school where GATU is teaching 24/7 yet we are such unruly students…

      That’s what the garden has been teaching me. When I come in with power tools, chemicals, and hydroponics…. it whispers, I persist, and I’m sure Ure provides much entertainment and laughter/delight to universe in his efforts.

      Where’s yours?

      73

      • Solid, good, and obvous (some) advice.
        Thank you. (All good..)

        I shall consider the central challenge you posit.
        (Some specifics apply: some don’t. I left quite a bit out, because I didn’t want to be too much of a “Dismal Jimmy,” or run on too long.)

        73

        * “Dismal Jimmy:” See Lionel Hardcastle’s father in the PBS Brit series, “As Time Goes By.” He is not one such.

        • Dismal Jimmy would be a perfect name for a bashed all to shit 25 y.o. GMC SUV that smokes and rattles – might have to look into it because it’s such a character name!

      • WRR & George,
        All of George’s suggestions are excellent. But one thing could be emphasized a bit more: involvement with other people to help give purpose. At 81, that has been salvation for me e.g. taking water samples in a polluted lagoon, fixing boats for a kid’s sailing program, working on fish and muck samples in a “citizen science” program, and currently learning how to deal with cranky Shimanos in a program that rehabs donated bikes for needy kids and paroled DUI offenders. I went through a period of very bad vision and was on the edge of feeling as you do, WRR. Fortunately a great mate and volunteer work kept me going. I’m sure you have a lot yet to contribute and enjoy. As for not prepping beyond what you’ve already done, given your location I doubt whether
        Spock would fault the logic; certain I can’t.

        Afterthought: as for not driving, would an e-bike (or trike) help in your location? Here in S. Florida gray-haired e-bikers are increasing common. Not suggesting pedal power because of the COPD, but maybe a 250-500 watt e-bike could be helpful.

      • Get a couple of can openers that can open those big emergency food supply cans. Get a small rocket stove that burns leaves and sticks for hot water. Get a solar shower. All are luxury items that you will be grateful for.

      • Your homework:

        Get all calls, run combinations thru propagation software and suggest best times and frequencies for a post-emp/etc Ure net.

    • You sound more like a hardened survivor than a yuppie prepper.
      Did you ever get a workable auxiliary heater? Something like a fireplace insert ? I hate kerosene heaters, but they beat hypothermia. A good sleeping bag also helps. Stay warm this holiday.

    • “We all still have a lot of knowledge to share.”

      Agreed William. You are part of a group I come here to visit everyday that shares diverse experiences and wisdom. Your conquering of many illnesses reminds me of LOOB whom I have come to know over the past year or two. You two really need to know each other.

      Losing your soul-mate is the toughest kick in the gut and I am sorry. I am approaching 82 and also tired but as George says, 79 is not old unless you want it to be. We are all trying to make sense of a world gone upside down with our leader George Ure.

      Please continue to come here and mingle with a group of mavericks from every walk of life.

  5. At Least 11 Killed At Prague University In Sniper-Style Rooftop Mass Shooting…

    Horrible.
    How many gifts under the Christmas trees that will never be opened.

    • What? Impossible! Everyone knows the only place where mass shootings occur is in the USA.

      At least the bastard is dead…

    • I see popup ads for these on the web also. My big question: Cost of electricity vs cost of heating fuel. Thank God I don’t need house heating with one of these. At nearly half a buck per kwh I cringe every time I use the electric stove here..

      • LOL LOL LOL that is what I felt..
        Years ago after visiting with some gents from NASA I was impressed with what they use for a hot water heater on the station.. so.. heck lets give it a shot here at home.. bought two of them.. about the size of a novel and about the same weight.. put them up one on each end of the house..
        Dam they worked amazingly great.. loved them.. the thing is.. they are DC powered.. and when you turned the hot water on being an on demand hot water heater.. the meter would spin so fast you thought it would take off like a helicopter LOL..so I no longer use them.. they are still hooked up.. and can be turned on.. but wow…. each one was seventy five amps LOL LOL LOL

    • LOL! It had to come… eventually. LOL! Let’s all hold our breath until we turn blue… and cold. That’ll save the planet, uh huh!

    • Hmm..not one word about asphalt and concrete possibly being a contributor as a reason things are warming things up the environment hmm
      one solution..strengthen the grid by building solar towers starting at the furthest point from the power plant.. handing out grid tie systems to anyone willing to put one up.. green scaling the cities and putting co2 filters on every la.p posts and air wells in dry regions..

  6. I’m not a big fan of politicians or political parties. I’ve never registered for any party and never will. What I am a fan of is equal protection under the law and the upholding of the Constitution and its principles. Kinda’ seems like I took an oath some years back. Anyway, this latest thing with Trump and Colorado is obviously a hoax and won’t stand. Invoking the 14th Amendment while violating the 6th Amendment protections for a fair and speedy trial and the right to face your accusers isn’t how things work. Judges cannot proclaim someone to be guilty without due process. It’s a dangerous game that these folks are playing because by their rules Biden could easily be disqualified for allowing the southern border to go undefended and an invasion to take place. No joke about it. If that’s not treason I don’t know what is.

    It should be clear by now that the long game with declaring J6 to be an insurrection was to disqualify Trump from regaining office. I see and hear a lot of people using the word ‘insurrection’ as if it was fact. The only problem with that is that not a single person has been charged, let alone convicted, with that particular crime. Trump (who was a private citizen at the time) was charged and put on trial (impeachment) in the Senate and acquitted.

    I don’t want to be overly harsh or judgmental, but the real underlying problem that allows any of this to go on is that the American people as a whole are dumb as a box of chicken beaks and no longer care about the rule of law. They’ll scream to high Heaven about the ‘other’ guy being corrupt and then turn right around and accept corruption and cheer on wrong doing from their preferred band of child raping degenerates. Arguing with these people is like arguing with the television.

    When you have a population of people who cannot uphold the founding principles of a nation in their hearts and just want to be ‘right’ no matter the cost you are doomed.

    You’d think since this now a banana republic that the bananas would be cheaper. Go figure.

    • “It should be clear by now that the long game with declaring J6 to be an insurrection was to disqualify Trump from regaining office.”

      so far they have been breaking all the political protocols of the past. its all coming back to haunt them to..four years of he won’t show us his taxes …now we see they didn’t even claim their incomes..

      toss in insurrection then the obvious opposite is they were selling out the USA which hinges on the big ..T.. crime..
      they are taking the gloves off..on trump ..will the gloves come off on the family?
      or is this just a pony show which is what I suspect it is..

    • Very well said. It is unfathomable to me that hordes of undocumented people are streaming across the southern border. Who funds these people?
      One of the reasons we are where we’re at is due to the public education system has been dumbed down to the point that illiterate people can graduate high school.
      Another is the failure to enforce the law.
      Perhaps another is that we are too big to be governed properly. The people of Texas for example have issues different than the people of New York or Minnesota.

      • HELL Illiterate people now can hold high offices in Governments that have never held a job in the real world.. never had to struggle or balance a check book.. money is thrown at them like there isn’t any limit and to them there isn’t any limit..

      • “Who funds these people?”

        I would not be surprised if we do.

        This mess was started and originally funded by a fascist with a soreass, and a neomarxist with an ‘r’ after his eye boil — two super-rich Democrats. The fine job they were doing was eventually noticed by the Bummer-in-charge, and I believe (but can’t prove — this is just a gut feeling) certain things began to trickle from DC into the funding pool at that time (~2014).

        The original purpose was to “Cloward-Piven” ICE and the Border Patrol into breaking, thereby forcing the adoption of a much more liberal immigration policy. I believe the direction of the invasion has shifted twice. First, from breaking our immigration system to importing millions of illegal alien voters, and second, from importing voters to importing an occupation army.

  7. The “14th”.

    Like firebreaks we’re up to the 14th Amendment saving us ‘this time’. Maybe.

    Rudy G filed for BK after losing a $148,000,000 defamation lawsuit. Does this mean he’ll die penniless or did he tuck his stuff into trusts?

    O/T – be aware most homeowners insurance do not cover claims made do to Pit Bull problems. Most Pit Bull owners don’t know or don’t care.

    If you are out visiting and approach a Pit Bull or it approaches you and you or yours get chewed up you’ll be on your own for medical bills.

    You could try to sue the owner but what kind of mentality would own an uninsurable event?

    • I believe your onto something there.. destroy their status in society that they end up penniless on a street corner panhandling for coins.
      it’s like a gent from our spare bedroom. he was called in gave testimony..told the truth ..then black balled by the industry he loved..he had it all.. lost it all had to live in his car..had a heart attack and ended up needing a place to live.. at the same time he lost it all the usa gave that industry billions to compensate ..it’s all the business model..
      the big question is.. would Trump get his pension if they destroy his social status..

  8. A little stressful around the cottage in the wastelands..
    took my friend to see a specialist today..
    all was good.. they of course asked him for a modest deposit a week ago.. then again he lives in my spare bedroom..he didn’t have the modest deposit.. it’s the business model you know..
    we got in a refugee was in to see the good doctor to..
    the doctor came out dressed all festive..red sequence jacket one of the staff came out dressed as the Grinch.. the receptionists all dressed like elves..gave her a plate of cookie and had one of the volunteers take photos of them for the wall of memories or a scrap book..
    all was going good.. I having seen the normal response and thought heck maybe times have changed..the sound of crisp sparkly upbeat Christmas music..they took him back.. A minute or two later he was out..they wouldn’t do the tests time to go..he had the same look on his face that I did when they gave me the why I. the hell did you seek medical treatment if you didn’t have the money to pay for it speech ..phew.. called a social worker.. fortunately she got right on it right away and they will see him tomorrow..
    that is why the USA has one of the worst healthcare systems in the world. I have heard complaints about other countries that have socialized medicine..the waits here are just as long or longer. it totally depends on how much money you have..you don’t leave with anything at the end..

  9. All insurance companies do not cover, do not grandfather them in anymore either. Used to have a english bull terrier (Roscoe) – he was sweet rescue dog..unless of course you messed with him or threatened one of the kids, that was grandfathered in.
    Son got sent home from middle school cause of that dog. His “teacher” noticed bruising all over his arms, he really enjoyed messing with Roscoe cause Roscoe could hold his own in battles/wrestling matches. Anyway he got sent down to nurse ofc, and next thing you know the idiot nurse is on phone with Wife.
    – back story..Daughter got in a little trouble at a YMCA summer camp, her reaction to getting busted was emotional breakdown/crying- when queried about emotions she told consular she was afraid of her Dad finding out. Yep – next thing you know Child Services is calling me ..”knives out”. Told that bitch to come right over at earliest opportunity. I was on phone with family attorney immediately – she was in 1st lass of Females to graduate Yale law = BADASSery at its finest. She consuled me on nothing to hide. Everything was cleared when child services got our House.
    Then and only after being cleared of any wrongdoing I physically went after the President of that Y – shocked the living shitout him that some one would call & tell him he is coming in NOW, and would storm in office & proceed to rip him to fucking shreds – I walked out with a check, profuse apologies and refund+ for the rest of camp session and promise that the girl/counselor was shitcanned.

    When I worked law state LE, my hand was ON my .40 whenever I encountered a pittie – had a ex con rib me about being being scared of his pittie – to which I replied I got no problem with being scared- you notice my where hand is. Hell I was anxious and scared on every fricking mission I ever completed. Got nervous pre jump, pre insertaion..if you aint a little scared – either something wrong or lying.

    Pitbull ownership is a SIGN that tells the casual observer just how many brain cells they have.
    2 – One is Lost, and the other is out looking it.
    Sorry if I offend any pitbull owners out there – its a tough shitski situation 4 moi.

    • Over the 82 years of my wandering this earth, I’ve found that mean dogs come in all shapes and breeds. I love German Shepherd Dogs, have had several of them. They were all sweet-natured, intelligent and protective. But I’ve also encountered GSD that were aggessive, ill-mannered and dangerous. I was bitten twice in the line of duty as a deputy sheriff, both times by GSD. I’ve come to the conclusion that dogs reflect the personalities of their owners more than the characteristics of their breed.

    • it isn’t the pit that’s the problem..
      it’s the owner.. animals for the most part emulate their owners..

      https://www.farmerpetes.com.au/blogs/blog/dogs-same-personality-traits-as-owner#:~:text=They%20are%20capable%20of%20observing,vocal%20cues%2C%20and%20emotional%20states.

      just like children ..
      which is why it’s so dangerous to have the only social teaching unit as mainstream media and games. there are so many violent crimes per hour and games that teach sociopath actions are what gets you ahead in life..with the adult presence taken from the home society has to go down the drain in personal deviance.
      a dog is the same..I’d your home is stressed filled the dog sees that.
      my ginger wouldn’t hurt anyone when she was alive. but then we have an extremely calm home environment.

  10. you covered alot of ground and ive been super busy with life, changes, some distractions in the comment section, working on the mountain and taking care of the entire ranch while the rancher and his wife are out of town. which is like 3 full time jobs.

    i damn near lost my shit the other morning and choked all 27 chickens. woke up at 245am walked out my room stepped on the cat, it screamed and so i jumped and slip in dog shit and well i made it to work on time. haha

    hmmmm. i sometimes forget you are all so old. most of the time i think you are all a bunch of kids. haha.

    Happy Myan Long Count Anniversery. its been eleven years today since the new age evangelists beat on the pulpet and said 12/21/12 is the end of the worrrrrrrrld.

    and everyone said lawdy lawdy and sang the tool song
    42 and 6, and Learn to Swim!

    and Drunvalo Melchizedek had is moment in the spot light.

    lol

    todag also is the shortest day of the year. more darkness today.

    ya know since i said I would fault God one Iota if he burned the whole thing down. in 2 days we went from 0 degrees to 40 degrees on the Mountain in the Valley of Enoch.

    when i went Christmas Shopping after work i went to a little town called Lava Hot Springs. They have little cool store that sells Switch Blades, Butterfly Knives, Brass Kuckels, even old school sling razers, and Giant Swords and throwing Stars and all kinds of cool stuff..

    well you know how i am, i always take a different road if i can. ya see something different every time.

    i heard a bunch of shots going off and looked over and some kids lit off 200 fire crackers in front of a Big White House.

    hmmm. interesting.

    went around the corner and there is a statue of a Bull there. same size Big ass Bull as the one on Wall Street. Looked Just like it. Same Giant Bull.

    hmmmm.. interesting.

    i called a buddy back in Seattle. did you know there is over 700 labores on the out of work list at the Labor Union in Seattle. He said there is over 500 on the A list at the Teamsters Heavy Haul Construction Hall.

    now the most there has been out of work at the Labor Temple in 20 years is 125 people. at the Teamsters Hall the Most Ive ever heard of in the last 20 years is 80 on the out of work A list. never even close to 250 let alone 500.

    without a strike.

    and over 700 out of work at the Labor Temple is i think an all time record for the seattle Area.

    again, without a strike.

    hmmmmm interesting.

    you know who i would have loved to meet. id love to have met John Titor. that fella who had a time machine made out of a 1979 Corvette. and talked about Cern stuff long before there was a Cern. i think id have love to talk to him. i mean if your going to make a time machine. why not make one out of a corvette or a 1978 Tans Am with T tops. hahaha

    well, tommorrow is the big day for me. lots of changes. changing directions. good changes.

    i want you all to remember and this important. even for Bill and no hard feelings. its all just words on a screan. really. you can log out any time ya like and walk away and as they say in the mafia world, forget about it. its important to know that.

    and i am kind of a monk. i felt that when ya said that. im kinda a monk. fuck you. hahahaha. i sit still and quiet alot. alot alot. and just think. probably 2 hours a day minmum. i think you are right Bill. that is some monk kinda stuff.

    oh and IF im standing next to a hanging Gong and a 1000 foot wave is coming at me? im going to pull out my butterfly knife, cut the gong down, hop on top of it, sceam
    kumbaya mother fucker, and ride that wave. live or die, i road the biggest wave of the Aeon and those who know me? know id do something like that.

    we all gotta die at some point. ive had 12 NDE’s. I made peace with it a long time ago. im ready whenever. i know what awaits me on the other side.

    but sad it may seem. im not even half way to my end at age 53. i live to be 118. baring any further extention. lol

    rememeber,
    there is vast fortunes to be made in times like these. for a person of idea and half a brain. some of the greatest wealth builders made their fortunes in times such as these. that is a Fact!

    the Rotchilds made their fortune in times such as these. The Rockafellers created their fortunes in times such as these. Ford made his fortune in times such as these. and so many more all their gigantic fortunes in times such as these.

    and not a single one of them had the advantages we have. like a smart phone and the internet. access to unlimited information.

    Sorry for your loss William. i love your comments.

    now,
    all day long ive been hearing in my head. fill your gas tank full, get extra gas and get cash out of the bank now. do it now.

    so i will go do that.

    Hope you all a very Merry Christmas. Three wise men and a King.

    • My big project for the year was a bicycle that can haul supplies. I’ve got a new pellet gun due in for Christmas. Definitely big kids at heart.
      Now back to the adult world:
      “fill your gas tank full, get extra gas and get cash out of the bank now”. I would normally do that for a holiday weekend, but maybe I top off the diesel cans too. And maybe some extra cash. I could use some canned gas for small engines in reserve.

      Merry Christmas. Godspeed on your new adventure.

    • the secret is.. no bare feet wear slippers lol..
      merry Christmas young man..
      your actually the same age as my kids.

    • LOL. It’s obvious I made an impression Andrew. You’ve been thinking on me for days, obviously. Dang you must be so much fun at a party right about the time the smoke gets down to about ear level and everyone’s zoned out. But, like it or not, I may not go to church at all but that doesn’t mean I’m not my brother’s keeper and that goes for n____, too. We all voluntarily gather here to interact and what’s coming is going to be about as UN-fun as any of us have ever experienced. The only good thing that may come out of it is it’ll probably help us all forget our little problems that drag us down on a day to day basis. In today’s comment you’ve said that you’ve had, what, 12 or 14 NDEs? Most peoples’ minds have been mix-mastered after one or two, but I think I know why they keep sending you back…

  11. My cousin, who hardly ever replies to any of the articles I send around, sent this to me today –

    Emergency whistleblower: RED DAWN ALERT – South American violent CRIMINALS dispersed across U.S. cities in run-up to 2024 CHAOS

    https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-12-21-emergency-whistleblower-red-dawn-alert-south-american-violent-criminals-dispersed-across-us-cities.html

    In the article a transcript of an interview with a whistle blower who is tasked with moving illegals out of Texas to around the country. He gives details about what happens when they are transported, what and how much they are given, the kind of people these are (outright criminals) and what their job is once they reach their destinations – which isn’t always the destination on their paperwork.

    The videos of this interview can be found here:
    Brighteon.com: Brighteon.com/channels/hrreport
    and here:
    Rumble: https://rumble.com/v42jz6b-bbn-dec-21-2023-emergency-whistleblower-red-dawn-alert….html

    I’m watching the Rumble video. The interview starts at the 35 minute mark. Prior to that is a lot of editorializing and etc. Whether or not you like the source or the information it doesn’t look good for the country. Is it an alphabet agency trying to goad us into doing something stupid? Who knows but has anything good come out of the agencies lately?

    • “Lately”
      How about – Ever ?

      Please, one instance in US history – just 1.

      8 Million people disappear every year, of that 4 million are CHILDREN disappearing.

      ..way past time for the “adams&eves” to wake the F up!

    • Well… they have been telling us for over fifty years that was how revenge on our warring country would be attacked from within.. by posing as refugees.. they would send in warriors..
      there is a reason we once had a vetting process.. I have no problems with someone migrating to the USA to raise a family or work.. but do it legally pay your share of the taxes and a non resident tax and no good samaritan benefit programs that are set aside to help citizens get through a dramatic situation.. until they are citizens of the USA..

    • The most alarming thing the interviewee said was that El Paso was where almost everyone coming through is Russian. Arizona is where the Red Chinese are coming through. The illegals have paperwork for particular destination cities but they can opt to get off anywhere along the way and the security detail that the interviewee is a part of can not stop them.

      Chuck Norris didn’t have it quite right in his “Invasion USA” movie. They didn’t have to land on a beach, just had to wait till the Hippies in the 60s grew up and radicalized their kids.

      • LOL LOL LOL the boss.. put on the shopping list a few years ago..
        25 year old blonde must like gardening LOL LOL LOL
        it is the family joke here now.. what you going to do.. oh I am going to go interview a few twenty five year olds.. LOL LOL LOL
