Our first discussion should be the state of financial markets which are momentarily in the “Wiggle Zone.”
As you can see in the Elliott wave view of things, we are wiggling around a big red support line (lower right) here:
Now let’s look at a bigger timescale and ask what might fit (for this is never advice, just entertainment purposes for an old man’s day trading habits):
Just rolling with visual cortex logic, seems at least possible that we could bounce well today. But of course, there is no assurance that people today will behave any differently than they did when the 1929 market trainwreck went off the tracks.
If there is any “good news” to all this, it is that until the long waiting period for World War II to begin after the Crash (over 11-years from Crash to Pearl Harbor) we can look out on the immediate future and calculate that war III will be engulfing the planet in half as much time in his cycle, and maybe not waiting period at all.
Statistical Jokes
Let’s begin with some definitions (courtesy of the San Francisco Fed):
“National income is a broader national level economic measure than is personal income. National income includes payments to individuals (income from wages and salaries, and other income), plus payments to government (taxes), plus retained income from the corporate sector (depreciation, undistributed profits), less adjustments (subsidies, government and consumer interest, and statistical discrepancy).
Personal income measures national level income to persons and nonprofit corporations. Personal income includes payments to individuals (income from wages and salaries, and other income), plus transfer payments from government, less employee social insurance contributions.
Disposable personal income measures the after-tax income of persons and nonprofit corporations. It is calculated by subtracting personal tax and nontax payments from personal income. In 1999, disposable personal income represented approximately 72 percent of gross domestic product (i.e., total U.S. output).”
What’s interesting is that personal income includes sole proprietorship income, as well. As this site explains:
“Personal income includes the income that is received by persons from participation in production, from government and business transfer payments, and from government interest (which is treated like a transfer payment). It is calculated as the sum of wage and salary disbursements, other labor income, proprietors’ income with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments, rental income of persons with capital consumption adjustment, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and transfer payments to persons, less personal contributions for social insurance.”
Point is that personal income includes:
• From all sources, not just wages and salaries
• Includes government social benefits, such as unemployment insurance, Medicare, Medicaid,
Social Security, and pandemic-related payments.
So, when we go over this morning’s report realize it has almost nothing to do with regular people and that SP income, couples with a small string of rentals raising rents and so forth, all figures into it.
Here’s the Data
“Personal income increased $71.6 billion, or 0.3 percent at a monthly rate, while consumer spending increased $67.5 billion, or 0.4 percent, in August. The increase in personal income primarily reflected increases in compensation and proprietors’ income. The personal saving rate (that is, personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income) was 3.5 percent in August, the same rate as in July.”
Of course if you build soaring home price equity in and enough inflation…

After the number, stocks were still planning to open higher based on future’s pricing.
Ian’s Second Landfall
Not that we needed a “two-fer” storm, but Ma Nature (and those atmospheric heaters?) don’t ask the We folk:
Google’s News Search engine reported 128-million news hits this morning on “hurricane Ian.”
When we added +”climate change” to the query, results dropped to 7.56 million. Which means at least 5.9 percent of media is spewing crap which Dr. Joe Bastardi has eloquently dismissed as crap.
Although it’s actually much higher BS loading, since 26.3 million stories use the word climate. 20.54% of hurricane stories are at least “suspect” to our thinking.
The Washington Post’s Hurricane Ian’s rapid intensification signals climate change’s impact seems typical agendafying.
When we talk to farmers and ranchers out here in East Texas? No one (and we’re talking generations worth) has noticed anything other than “weather.”

Let’s begin with “news” creation and how – having no Trump on the ballot – people who are open to both sides of debate are now being attacked. An example? Is Fox News Host Tucker Carlson a True Believer? Let’s shoot the messengers, shall we? Democrats are still running Trump. Stupid or smart?

If you think the Nordstream pipelines attack was American, we have found someone who agrees: Russian spy chief: West was behind sabotage of Nord Stream. What no one is asking – particularly the witch-hunting halfwits on Capital (sic) Hill (best money can buy, right?) is which American government is running this op? Because there are two American governments now: A non-elective (*CIA, NSA, and neolib’s brand versus a nominally elected branch that’s been bought with big corporate campaign money – a route endorsed by liberal Supreme Court justices in the Citizen’s United case. Which said, in effect, that corporations are people – which is such utter bullshit that it boggles an old man’s mind….) Regardless, there is SOME GROUP out there that is pressing nuclear war (or trying for some agenda worth risking it) in order to take down Russia and its Resources for Western/Corporate consumption and gain. Or to keep the European Union from imploding financially which it will over time. Government of Government seems repetitive, repetitive.

We’re pondering whether to convert our End of the World Mountain Bikes to electric. Shopping conversion kits on eBay off and on.
Weekend ahead (hallelujah!) plans include not going to the doctor due to an upper right abdomen stomach muscle that drove me to 18-hours of sleep. Cancelled an appointment this morning because the pain 90% cleared overnight.
Felt like “earthquake tired’s” on top of a severe upper abdominal muscle pull – so if a big quake comes along soonly, we’re ready. In an odd location? Is that what the odd abdominal placement was about? Body scrying?

E-bikes have been on my radar lately as well. Seems like all the kits and parts are moslty Chinese though. And I would like to see braking system upgrades as part of said kits as well. Still have the kids 3 Shwinns hanging in the shop and the project would be fun. When I bought the Polaris a couple of months back the dealer was taking pre-orders for their new electric model. Holy Shit!!!
hmm.. yes I believe that everything has a chinese manufacturer at some point..
Everything is a compromise. Most e-bike bits are made in China, and some of them are of decent quality. Most of the rest are Italian or Japanese. There are American, Swedish, and German manufacturers, but most are boutique builders and use Chinese, Japanese, and Italian parts.
I have seen e-bikes priced under $1100, and others that’re more-expensive than a new Ford Mustang. How far do you want to go, and how quickly do you want to get there…?
Comrades,
Gee whiz, so Mr. Putin’s diplomats didn’t even offer the now-idicted American trans officer a deployment tryout? Maybe rendering their (“his” in the legacy pronoun nomenclature) critiques of the commander-in-chief’s foreign policies on Twitter whilst a member of a “secret” clearance cadre raised some red flags? Interestingly, an “Army Times” article outlined how investigators keyed in on their Russian speaking wife and reeled them in. Her now deleted John Hopkins page can still be accessed on internet archive. However there doesn’t seem to be a clear path of explanation as to how she acquired her Russian skills. It’s almost like shades of Mrs. Snowden. Makes one wonder if the Russians got what they wanted before kicking them to the curb.

Folks,
Take your seats, things are heating up in the EU. Energy price caps, they say? Comrades, what happened to perestroika? You know, to borrow an off-teleprompter turn of phrase, I was looking at the the US government stats on LNG exports recently, and I think China + Taiwan = America’s second largest customer block. Surely Mr. Xi will have time in his busy day to throw in a free lunch if Western inquirers will line up cap in hand proposing cheap energy prices for the common good of the world.

Russian annexations.
Whose calling the kettle black?
The U.S. (and Britain) make Russia appear to be bit players.
How about some history? The U.S. is incomparably worse than Russia.
The question is why hasn’t the U.S. set them all free? Make them totally independent free nations??
Wikipedia:
The United States currently administers 16 insular areas as territories:
American Samoa.
Guam.
Northern Mariana Islands.
Puerto Rico.
United States Virgin Islands.
Minor Outlying Islands. Bajo Nuevo Bank. Baker Island. Howland Island. Jarvis Island. Johnston Atoll. Kingman Reef. Midway Islands. Navassa Island. Palmyra Atoll.
Speaking of history, Russia grabbed the Crimea awhile back…..which has way more land area than all those U.S. territorial islands combined. If the U.S.S.R. had not imploded, then Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Georgia and all of those “stan” countries would still be a part of it.
Puerto Rico has voted on its status several times, usually with the options of statehood, independence or maintaining the status quo. Sometimes statehood wins, sometimes status quo wins, but independence never comes close. They know where their bread’s buttered.
The Pacific Island territories are there for their strategic value, to maintain a military presence in the region. Without those territories, the first World War II Japanese attack might well have been on the U.S. mainland. After the war, the U.S. granted the Philippines independence, accompanied by massive reconstruction aid.
In short, the U.S. is not a colonial empire – it broke away from one.
From what I hear, those “territories” have gotten a lot of gov. (Taxpayer) money over the past 60 years. Wonder why non of them have an infrastructure like NY.
Tu quoque or whataboutism is not a valid excuse for what Russia is doing to Ukraine and environs. There’s no excuse for the human calamity that Putin has caused. Provoked or not, HE pulled the trigger.
No excuse needed nor required genius. Cause belongs to the instigators – think castle doctrine, if you think at all. Championing/Defending Satanists and their nazi “bulletcatchers” is telling in the extreme.

Where did it go ? What happened to it ? How did “they” hide it, remove it from history? Roughly 1000 years time missing, maybe ? WTF, over?
Look, examine, study ancient ships from year say 400. Now do same work on ships from year 1400 – see any differences in the ships themselves ? No new equipment, sail tech..nothing changes for a 1000 years, same exact shit? Still scratching me head..
Who wrote and made up everything, including minting fake coins for all purported emperors..that diabolical church/monks.
Illuminati nut cases(elites) been f-ing with timelines, still are at this very moment..in fact it is what they think will enable them to “win” this war, “changing time”. Sayz here their current efforts “blowup” in their faces..Nosty speaks of it in quatrain ___ “Saturn is late, again” .

11×111= 1221
1221 x21=25641 – recall # of days in the Great Age =9,360,000, and divide this by 25641:365.242 (25,641 is illuminati supernumber)..”a mathematical alchemical formulation capable of transmuting its very nature, much like mytghical Phoenix burd.
It is 777 and 33, the # of god and number of christ, and simultaneously 77 and 333, the number of satan and the number of the demon choronzon.
Old and busted- rather lets invoke biblical anti-christ, whose number is listed in da book of Revelation as 666? ready , 25 +641=666..hold on chickenz, some biblical manuscripts list the number as 616 – got it covered: 641-25=616.225641 – mathematically represents the synthesis of all things, the reconcilliation of opposites..it speaks of Unification.
*More maths ! its Friday..very well see the book of Revs. chap 21..new jerusalem, supposed city of god includes 12 gemstones ..associated with 12 signs zodiac..encoded calendar..how many stones in arrons breastplate, or the Eye of Narbonne?

I purchased this kit in November of 2021 and installed it on a POS 2015 Specialized Vita (a heavy-assed “fittness” bike) that I rescued from a friendly neighborhood pawn shop. The conversion took less than 4 hours (over the course of a few days). The rig has been running perfectly since then and have had zero problems. So far, I have logged 520 miles and loved every single inch. It’s so good, in fact, that I plan on purchasing another kit later on this year so that I can do a similar conversion to a lighter aluminum-framed road bike.

Putin names chief suspects for Nord Stream attack
The US and UK orchestrated the blasts on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, which delivered Russian natural gas to Germany, because they “obviously” benefit from it, President Vladimir Putin insisted on Friday.

Speaking at a regular press briefing on Thursday, Zakharova dismissed any allegations that Russia was behind the incident. “May I ask you a question?

Who wins from demolishing the EU’s gas lifelines?
Speculation abounds since both Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, designed to carry cheap Russian gas to Europe, were damaged this week in what officials widely describe as deliberate acts of sabotage. Who could be responsible? Let’s start with the end result and work backwards. The outcome ultimately means that Europe’s economic impetus for ever seeking peace with Russia has been seriously undermined, if not literally destroyed. Someone has taken it upon themselves to demolish the remaining bridges between the two.

US facing natural gas shortage – Reuters
While American energy companies have been exporting liquified natural gas (LNG) to Europe at record rates, calls have emerged lately to reduce those supplies to make sure there is enough for the US market. “With heating season around the corner in both Europe and the United States and with a lot of people in both places using gas for heating, the price outlook for gas does not look good from a consumer’s perspective,” Reuters wrote. The report noted that it is unlikely US gas prices will climb anywhere near European levels, “but they are up by a whopping 300% from a few years ago

EU leaders have forgotten about something kind of important
Brussels overlords and assorted EU leaders, taking turns at the UN General Assembly podium beating the Western war-drums against Russia — all in the interest of “peace,” neglect to ascertain what the average European actually wants. Contrary to their leaders’ desires, the average European is only willing to personally give up so much “for Ukraine” — whatever that means, since it’s pretty obvious that the people of Ukraine aren’t benefiting from the current state of perpetual conflict the EU and the US are enabling, either.
Selling this seemingly endless conflict in Ukraine, a notoriously corrupt country, as a defense of “democracy,” only works until it means choosing between paying your own bills and paying for all the blank cheques that you’re writing to Kyiv.
