No War – But No Peace: It’s Sunset on the Titanic

So yes, there’s a lot of reading today — close to a hundred pages between the ChartPack and the Focus — but that’s because the times are not simple, even if the headlines want to pretend they are. If you want the fast-food version of reality, the free web is full of it. If you want the charts, the historical analogs, the macroprudential concerns, the war-risk thinking, and the practical “what does this mean in real life?” treatment, today’s Peoplenomics earns its keep. Read and weep, or screen ’em and reap — but either way, don’t say you weren’t warned.

  1. Youse westerners want the stinking nasty Oil ? Well then youse has to pay me in ze BITCOINZ, stupid americans.

    Thats right porky Pork eaters, “Pay Me, Pay Me my Bitcoin now, I say, Pay me, Pay Me some Bitcoinz now..

    So not only does G_Pops NOT get any Bitcoin, now he wont be getting any Oil either..outta da Gulf that is, anytime soon. oh well tough titties.

    The Wryrony is just so delicious that I may go for seconds, maybe even thirdsies.

    *Hey Lenora, hows that Bitcoin short treating Youins this AM. Oh wait he is prolly still waiting in line for some petrol somewhere out on the range.. https://youtu.be/W4FPDtIw6qY?

    • you really are a fool . must have plenty of rat juice in yah or truckloads of spike protein from trash you befriend . a funny fool !!!. descendant of richard cranium . probably a bit of 4×2 as well

  2. A planned maneuver to help oil shorts to cover because they can’t deliver. However, the good news Baron has made another fortune in stock and oil. meanwhile Israel bombs the crap out of Lebanon.

  3. 2 complex for me mate .. just rig it boyz . then let her rip like nothing ever seen . conscience ? integrity ? its all over fellas . joke

    • Lenora Honey,

      You aint seen nothing yet, mi amiga. Only commodity(s) left out there that the Big Boys are not in control of are Crypto’s .
      This is only place to get in and make some real cashish. But you gotz to be Careful, very careful with what youse buy.
      The big Gorilla in the middle of the crypto road, just around the bend up ahead, is in fact “big boys” with big Treasuries – and these guys are very adept at Running the Longs out and Buying the aftermath, which will be @ greatly reduced prices.

      Stops might be Ure best friend in this environment. Leverage in this market is VERBOTTEN! Dont do it – dont be STUPID . Well I guess in Ure case its too late, but for the rest of the homegamerz out there – Dont do the leverage thing – try to keep it simple.

      Oh by the way – all this Ai and quantum stuff – 3rd Reich BTDT already. Yerp they would be Ure “Other Power” out there, and says hear they aint friendly at all, more like some of the coldest, serious, no fun MFers you ever wanna meet.

      * Artemis
      Earth is flying/floating in a Sea of Space, hence gold fringed maritime flag on US flag. Captain of Artemis recently quoted “EARTH is like a spaceship”.

      1 Vessel needs 1 Captain . 1 Admin with Captain. Earth “vessel” floating in sea of space will obviously see other vessels along/during its journey..duh-ohh.

      Who is Vessel? Who is Cargo ? = NRG Fairness

      ** Trust Over IP…by 2032

      – which Crypto’s are involved with this ? tbs has recommended at least 2 of them on these pages.

      Lest we all forget WAR always Creates Galloping Inflation..hmmm

      best go back and reread for clues..as I aint giving away anymore “Blueburds” to a bunch of miserable, angry, war mongering nogoodniks. They already be getting their rewards, feels good, no?

  4. I read this morning that Musk was saying the google super computers are fast enough now to bust the bitcoin code. I think it’s already a done deal , but who knows. The only thing worse would be an emp, then no one could get access to their monies ,except those holding PM’s.

    • Read a similar article from Plank Institute in Germany that a German super computer, [with A.I. assist] has broken the bitcoin coding – in a trial run.
      .
      Seems that it is just a matter of time before some nefarious group actually does it in real-time and shuffles off into the mist with billions.

      • done your ass on sheetcoin eh goose !!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  5. Grand Rising George,

    not to detract from Ure work. I am in grouo text with a bunch of fellas from all over. My buddy Michael from Palm Desert said this, this Am,

    “We are all being judged by someone who isnt even close to having their shit together. Comparison is so dangerous. You could end up comparing where God has YOU, to where the Devil has THEM.”

    aint that the truth. aint that the truth. that is The Truth!

    ya know i did my zoom call with the IRS,. 2 minutes after i had to show my DL and my passport on camera on my lap top durring the zoom? it might have been less than 2 minutes, my IRS refund was in my account.

    the lady told me alot of people had to do this, this year. i know 3 others who had to do it now. same exact thing. prove who you are and you get the money you over paid, back. the lady its a new thing and they are trying it out. The lady said i probably wont have to do it again, but almost everyone will have to do it at some point.

    ******* today is 04/08/2026. it is an important date. these are the facts, Jack!

    on 04/08/2020 I drove to the Second mesa after hearing a lady whisper on the wind. i drove non stop from Palm Desert California to the Hopi Rez. i stood in the dry well as the living water. The elders told me had i not stood there, at the moment i did, for the length i stood there all life on earth would have ended.

    on a day I stood there… (for first time in written history) no person entered any kind of house of worship on the entire planet due to shelter in place. not a single person entered a mosque, temple, Chruch or a synagogue. they were all afraid of death in the air.

    i was told, nobody has stood in the dry well since the Great Flood ended. the last great cataclsym. it is my understanding that it was the first place someone stood on dry ground after the Great Flood Cataclysm. That why is they built a well around it.

    afterwhich I asked the Elders about a Fosil Rock i had been given. they didnt know anything about it. and on 04/12/2020 I walked The Divine labyrinth and placed it on top of a Rock painted as a turtle.

    the stone the Elders rejected was placed as a cap stone for the Turtle Rock.

    on 04/08/2024

    i walked the Divine labyrinth at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Jackson Hole Wyoming and placed a Silver Hobo Fate coin “life face down” towards the earth, and a Gold One ounce Eagle on top of it in the center. with Lady Liberty facing up in the center. Having found the gold eagle on the side of the road driving through Montana on I-15, when i stopped to pee.

    at the time i didnt know, but a few weeks later i found out,

    also on 04/08/2024 there was a solar eclipse that started on the 4 year anniversary at the exact moment i stepped into the dry well on the second mesa, 4 years prior, and ended at the exact moment i stepped out of the dry well.

    on 04/12/2024 I left Enoch Valley to return to Washington State.

    on 04/08/2025 I recieved a Holy Book that a friend found in a thrift store in Montana. one of 73 ever printed. one was printed for every year of Mother Marys life. It was signed by Pope Leo XIII on 04/08/1879. I returned the Book to some priests at a catholic church in Mount Vernon, Washington. who told me it was the last of its kind, to their knowledge all the others has been destroyed. They said they would expidite its return to the Vatican.

    shortly some time later, Pope Frances dies and we now have a new Pope Leo XIV who is from America.

    and here we are now, today it is 04/08/2026 and on 04/12/2026 I leave Washington State to head to Fiji to get on a NOAA type Research Ship to chase Blue Whales. A ship with 39 Scientists that has twin (3000 hp) electric motors and can last up to 300 days out to sea. its a long duration reseach ship, primarly used to studying oceanic sismec activity for 40 days out to sea. noah spent 40 days out to sea.

    Blue whales, the sign of Jonah

    Jesus The Christ aka THE DUDE said,
    “But he replied to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign. Yet no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah”

    all this, just 2 years ago i was living in the Valley of Enoch driving Ore trains in a large scaled, living version of the Merkaba.

    and all this talk from Trump about ——->>> The End of Civilization. <—–

    last night i was leaving a place with my woman. i looked down and saw a plastic fork laying in the parking lot. i said to her, look a fork in the road! we laughed. we rounded the corner heading to my car and right behind a Lincoln Navigator laid a $20 bill on the ground. i picked it up. there was 2 fellas standing there next to a Ford F-150. i asked them if they dropped a twenty. one said its probably mine but im not sure. it migjt not be. the Lincoln Navigater started to pull out and i stopped them and said I just found a $20 bill on the ground behind your car. the lady said I dont have any cash on me so its not mine. i said thank you for your honesty. i turned to the fella standing there by his F-150 and said, i dont have any cash on me either, so i know its not mine. it must be yours. and I handed it to him.

    When we left and my girlfriend said, You chose the right path back there. i said what? she said you saw a fork in the road, then found $20 then decided to give it to who it belonged. i said i knew it wasnt mine. she said did you think about keeping it and not saying anything? i said, nope. because it wasnt mine. i laughed and said i totally forgot about the fork in the road. she said, I never met anyone like you.

    i said, its really all about THE DUDE! ya know? She said Yes! THE DUDE!

    we went to Dairy Queen and got Dipped Cones and came home.

    today os 04/08/2026 and on 04/12/2026 I will be leaving the United States……

    i wont be back on here until i finish my 40 day fast from dry land, Like Noah did.

    until we meet again,

    I Win with God within ~

    • im sure its all just a random series of coincidence. nothing to see here. move along.

      oh wait! the first word in coincidence is coin. aint that something.

      i honestly dont know how i ended up in this wild series of events. i always just wanted a closer walk with GOD, work out at the gym and be strong, make a bunch of $$$, have a really fast car, sexy fitness girlfriend, a good house in the woods and a few main coon cats. lots of laughs and a good story or 3 to tell around a bonfire.

      NOW! IF civilization as we know it doesnt end?

      i will be returning to The Valley of Enoch on the 23rd to 24th ish. maybe swing by the Divine Labyrinth in Jackson Hole and see if my coins are still there. hahaha. doubt it.

      be cool if they were, tho.

      grab Ureself a tub of Orville Redenbacher, and put a drizel of extra butter and salt. Shit might get real, really fast!

      well I lots to do today. i best go get to the gym, finish packing my stuff, bang the old lady and get in a nap. Costco Ribs for Dinner! yum!

      Mariners game on friday!

      Woot! Woot!

      and again,

      I Win with God within.

      • i almost didnt reply to you because you are uhmm… a fuckin retard. there, i said it. i am being honest.

        i dont really like you. and its rare that i cant find some good quality in a person that i can focus on. and i just dont like you. now, im not required in life to like everyone in life. im not required to like everyone on urban survival.com. its not a requirement.
        now, there is something like 8 Billion people on the planet, im sure there must be someone out there who would like you.

        it actually pays $455 a day. i get paid $32.50 an hour and work 6am to 6 pm. 7 days a week. for 40 days straight. that is 48 hours a week overtime.

        a 12 hour day is
        8 hours at 32.50 an hour = $260
        4 hours at $48.75 (time and a half over time) = $195.

        $260
        + $195
        = $455 a day.

        for 40 days straight.
        not a bad gig.

        espcially if the entire world ends. or the world ecomony collapses or California falls into the ocean.

        or all three. it could come in threes. it always comes in threes.

        and i am on a NOAA type research vessel. its listed on their site, but owned by another entity. it not exactly a NOAA ship. it was actually commissioned by the US Navy and purchased by a University.

        Noah’s Aquatic Adventures had nothing to do with Climate Change or the ice age. lol

        that is laughable at best.

        no go badger someone else cupcake, i am busy.

    • Yesterday morning at sunrise i found a thin silver coin with a prayer on one side and the ten commandments on the other. Rings like silver when dropped on marble.
      I believe.
      All one. One love.
      Can’t imagine ‘spending’ it.
      The message was clear.
      Beautiful sunrise. Getting near eighty, every sunrise is more beautiful.
      May you hear a kookabura wake you some day. Nothing quite like it.
      Stiks

    • My you have fair winds, a good sea, and may the earth still be intact and not in War when you return

      • Thanks Dude. i appreciate the thoughts,

        someone did say to me yesterday after I told them 4 more days and Im winging off to Fiji to get on a ship.

        they said,
        “so you are maning a life boat before the Titanic goes down? That is a smart move man! Good for you!”

        i said oh i didnt think about it like that.

        they laughed and said, if you get your hands on the heart of the ocean? dont give it to some stupid bitch named Rose.

        With that,

        I Win with God within!

  8. Good reading on “The Focus”- though a bit depressing., to say the least.
    Thanks for all of that. [ on the pay side.]
    .
    U.S. and Iran agree to talks – but no date was given and the Straits remain closed. Iran is talking about blackmailing ships to pass through – paying in digital currencies only. – Question: If a ship refuses to pay, starts going through the Straits.., and Iran fires on them – will Trump romp and stomp as he has promised ? After all., isn’t that a direct breach of a cease fire?
    But I believe that Iran has only agreed to talks and a two week cease fire so they will enough time to reorganize and get their act together and prepare for even more war damage. [ Move assets to target Israel?]
    Trump this morning issued a warning to all countries. A flat 50% tariff on any country that sells weapons to Iran. [ Russia and China.., right?]
    .
    This whole thing looks very fugly & phony – looking at getting near the close today. Options/Puts.

  9. A conversation with A.I. this morning

    Me: Good morning Jarvis.., I have a question.
    Jarvis: Good morning d’Lynn, how can I help?

    Me: Question: Are there any scientific/research vessels, anywhere in the South Pacific, especially Fiji, that are preparing to depart on an expedition in the next 30 to 60 days? To study blue whales. Reportedly with 39 scientists on board.

    Jarvis: Short answer. No. The only confirmed active research vessel in the region is the Chinese research ship Da Yang Hao, currently operating near the Cook Islands, but no departure date has been announced. And is currently at dock in the Cook Islands.
    • No departures from South Pacific islands are scheduled in the next 30 days.
    • Most major research operators (NOAA, SOI, OET, NIWA, CSIRO, JAMSTEC) have no active ships in the South Pacific region at this moment.
    • Specifically to Fiji. There are no research vessels scheduled to depart from any Fijian port in the next ~30 days. The only publicly listed upcoming vessel movements for Suva—the country’s primary deep?water port—are commercial cargo and vehicle carriers, not scientific or research ships.
    • No research vessels currently moored
    • No scheduled research?vessel arrivals or departures

    Me: Thanks, Jarvis
    Jarvis: You are welcome, d’Lynn. Now I have a question for you.
    Me: Go ahead.
    Jarvis: This an odd question from you. Why this subject ?
    Me: I happened to read a forum post this morning and was wondering about the name of the ship., as the poster didn’t include it.
    Jarvis: I understand.

    • Andy said NOAA-type, not NOAA, and made that clear in several posts. G____ found the most likely candidate University-chartered ship and posted info on it several days back.
      Do you really expect a working reader to post info on their employer on this site with the sort of wingnut predators who troll this site? You have no clue as to lengths that vigilante wingnuts will go to hurt innocents, just for entertainment. My lawyers are dealing with a criminal blacklisting incident as we speak.

    • youse got the wrong Ai me thinks – what you needed to answer the Ship name question was tbs Ai. So here you go from tbs Ai;

      the name of the ship the urban survival poster “Gilligan” is referring to is the USS Lollypop. So Suva is not the location to be searching, try “Candyland” with a C, nota K, and not to be confused with Munchkin Land -https://youtu.be/siLUup2dh2I?

  10. re: “The Razor’s Edge”, 1946

    The public Telegram channel curated for the Iranian foreign minister announced happy ceasefire news. This was followed by advice of completed international phone calls in the order of Finland’s foreign minister, Turkey’s foreign minister, and the commander of the Pakistan army.

    Popular Finnish foreign minister Mrs. Valtonen speaks four languages, holds a post-graduate degree, and is a past Bilderburg attendee. One of her alleged primary financial backers is a Finnish-Anglo-Israeli multi-billionaire and art collector whose global headquarters occupies an unsigned, discreet Mayfair office locale at 40 Dover Street in London.

    Development of Dover Street began in 1783 under a syndicate led by Sir Thomas Bond. One of the syndicate’s partners included a street namesake, the 1st Earl Dover, a close friend of King James II. Alexander Graham Bell made an early telephone call from a hotel occupying #23, where author Stephen King later wrote the beginnings of what was to become “Misery”. The #40 address also offers current abode to The Arts Club originally founded by Charles Dickens in 1863. Apparently Rolling Stones poet Ronnie Wood is a member. When not required by the parent club, its premises are said to be utilized by The Eccentric Club.

  11. Damned Well Done, George!
    California has been in depression for a lot of people for some time because of the actions of an dominate, corrupt democrat party. We have out of control housing, medical, insurance, fuel, food, business, and supply chain costs, with the nation’s highest numbers of homeless, illegal immigrants, and people and businesses leaving the state.
    I came back here because of my grandkids, and I’m fearful for their future.

    Thanks for all you’re doing, and best wishes to Andy for his next adventure.

  12. Ok..I tried butter in chocolate making..
    1/2 lb butter
    1 cup coco butter
    1 cup coconut oil
    1 cup powdered sugar
    1 cup powdered milk
    1 tsp lecithin
    1/2 cup coco
    2 tbsp vanilla
    (cut down ingredients this will make about thirty bars depending if you wand just chocolate or there’s other ingredients like rice crusties nuts caramel nougat etc…)
    it has a nice soft snap..for the true chocolate snap just use coco butter..
    the steps..
    1. melt the coco butter and coconut oil butter in a double boiler..
    take your milk further whisk mix..
    2 add powdered sugar while whisking sifting it in
    3. add powdered milk while whisking it in
    4. add vanilla while whisking it in
    5 add coco powder
    whisk on high in double boiler
    mixing it on high in your double boiler isn’t has good as coaching it for days but still gives you a nice smooth texture.. enjoy.. of course you can increase and decrease ingredients.. I like a little more unsweetened where the kids love sweet.. my next batch I’m planning on using palm oil butter and sweet cream butter..just to test it..
    https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeable-Handheld-Cappuccino-Macchiato-Chocolate/dp/B0FT3G72LZ/ref=sr_1_7?

  13. Oh that will give you about thirty to sixty large chocolate bars…depending on whether or not you like a nougat center..
    My favorite is coconut cream filling…
    3 cups shredded sweetened coconut
    1 cup powdered sugar
    ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
    ¼ cup coconut cream (or thick part from a coconut milk can)
    2 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter
    1 tsp vanilla
    Pinch of salt

    You make this a lot like fatty but here’s a Butterfinger peanut butter filling..
    great in whipped ice cream..
    1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural — use Jif/Skippy style)
    1 cup sugar
    ½ cup light corn syrup
    ½ tsp salt
    1 tsp vanilla
    Optional: ¼ cup crushed cornflakes for extra crunch (not required but amazing)
    Cook the sugar syrup
    In a saucepan:
    add sugar …add corn syrup … add salt
    Heat over medium until it reaches 290°F (hard crack stage)….
    This is the magic step — it’s what creates the flaky, crunchy layers.
    If you don’t have a thermometer, cook until…the syrup turns a light amber
    Pour syrup over peanut butter
    Immediately pour the hot syrup into the peanut butter bowl.
    Do NOT stir it smooth — instead…
    Fold it gently 3–5 times
    This creates the layered, flaky Butterfinger texture….If you stir too much, it becomes taffy.
    Add your corn flakes and speed out in a pan..with a pizza cutter cut it to desired size to fit in the mould then coat the bottom and place your filling then coat the botton..

    • Shredded Coconut reminds me of Toe Nail Clippings..

      Kinda hard to swallow once you are thinking about Toenails ..

      hey dont get me wrong here, I love Coconuts, and drinking fresh coconut water out of green coconuts. When done drinking the water and nibbling on the raw coconut, I chop some up for the Russels’. They absolutely luv coconut “meat”, the rest I leave out for the Agouti’s – which are kinda like a dark brown central american Rabbit.

  16. re: Chartwell Mansion, L.A. to
    feat: “The Clampetts in Washington”, S9E2, 1970

    Today the US VP, former Corporal J.D. Vance, allegedly cast doubt upon the English comprehension of the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Brig. Gen. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. VP Vance served as a military journalist, and has since authored a 2016 memoir titled “Hillbilly Elegy”. His public cv allegedly includes a stint of employment under Epstein’s friend, Peter Thiel.

    Separately, Dr. Ghalibaf received a PhD. in Political Geography. His most recent book appears to date from 2023 titled “The Logic of Complexity Analysis in Geopolitics: The Governance of Regimes in Geographical Structures”.

  18. re: luck ‘o the Irish
    feat: surviving three titanic events

    White Star Line ordered three Olympic class ships: Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic. Shipping line Irish employee Violet Jessop survived the collision of a British Navy ship with the Olympic in September, 1911, as well as the sinking of Titantic seven months later. Finally in 1916 she allegedly jumped out of one of the lifeboats before it was sucked into Britannic’s propellers as it sank after hitting a German mine. Miss Jessop apparently lived uneventfully after that, and retired from White Star Line in 1950.
