But we watch with interest:
Stock market circuit breakers are mechanisms designed to temporarily halt trading on U.S. exchanges during significant market declines, aiming to prevent panic-selling and maintain orderly market operations. These circuit breakers are triggered based on the S&P 500 Index’s performance relative to the previous day’s closing value and are categorized into three levels:?
- Level 1: A 7% decline in the S&P 500.?
- Level 2: A 13% decline in the S&P 500.?
Level 3: A 20% decline in the S&P 500.?
The specific responses to these declines are as follows:?
Levels 1 and 2:
- If a Level 1 or Level 2 decline occurs before 3:25 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), trading across all markets halts for 15 minutes.?
- If such a decline happens at or after 3:25 p.m. ET, trading continues without interruption.?
A Level 3 decline results in the cessation of trading for the remainder of the trading day, irrespective of the time it occurs.?
These thresholds and protocols are established to provide a “cooling-off” period, allowing investors to process information and make informed decisions, thereby mitigating potential market overreactions.
Of course, they won’t be needed today, will they?

In seveal places now, seemngly UNrelated, in recent days I’ve seen references to March 10- to 12 talking about some sort of super Big Deal event days.
Anybody else? Any idea as to WHAT is being referenced? (Assuming there’s anything at all to it.)
“Marty, it looks like Trump is aware of the ECM. The markets crashed right on cue with Socrates, and he refused to rule out a recession. What is most curious is that you had a Panic Cycle for this week of the 10th.”

DDOS kiddies, ostensibly from Ukraine (DarkStorm, a Palestinian-based hacker group took credit), took “X” down today. Dunno if it was a UKR chapter, or if #DS merely reflected an attack off the UKR Net-switches (which is how I’d do it .. imbed a virus in a router, let it infect an entire net, then you send one attack to the net and every computer on that net “carpet bombs” the target. Essentially, you can turn your one computer into millions.)
The only other thing is the Dow, itself.
Lotsa news today — very little of it, of surpassing impact…
Thursday is a potential 1-1-3 Ritual Day.
Refer to Stu’s site theageofdesolation.com for further information.
??? Wouldn’t that be tomorrow, not Thursday ??
No, Thursday is March 13th. 3/13
Any combination of 1-1-3.
That’s how it works.
G.A. STEWART: After I published my first book, The Age of Desolation in 2010, I made a discovery when I sensed that the Fukushima earthquake and nuclear disaster on March 11th, 2011 might have connections to the Madrid Train Bombing on March 11th, 2004. So, I began to research the history of events on that day just as I did for the history of April 20th, which appears in Nostradamus Quatrain I-42.
It would take me almost three more years to put all the pieces in place regarding dates with the number combination 1-1-3.

Sorry, my mistake. It’s both!

Triggering Liberals….Barrett voted with them! Maggots, you’ve got a new Evil to decry!
Barrett joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s three liberal justices—Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson—in a 5-4 vote to uphold a lower court ruling that the Trump administration must release the foreign aid because it was tied to existing U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) contracts.
It was the second time that the Supreme Court has gone against Trump during his second term. In February, the court declined to grant Trump’s request to immediately fire the head of the Office of Special Counsel.
Following the foreign aid ruling, high-profile MAGA figures accused Barrett of being “evil” and a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) judge. DEI initiatives have regularly been criticized by Trump and other Republicans.
U.S. District Judge Amir Ali ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze the $2 billion in foreign aid, which had been blocked by an executive order signed by Trump on January 20.
Millions could starve, thank God Amy Barrett had a heart, not a robotic artificial brain (intelligence)

re: J. Joyce “Gas from a Burner”
feat: Carpe Alta! (seize the high ground)
Folks,
No leary buts about it, can we have a babble? Yesterday the largest online Polish media outlet, ‘Onet’ (majority owned by Germany’s ‘Springer’), published a page from a ‘KickStarter’-like fundraiser platform.
It highlighted a campaign by “United 24”. The charity is led by the First Lady of the Ukraine. You may recollect a recent photo op with President Zelensky celebrating the fund reaching $1billion in donations. So far the present Polish campaign so has achieved 23% of its target to purchase an armored ambulance. An image portrays what for all the world looks like a swat team-type troop transport with a Polish language “Ambulance” decal attached to a door panel.
Also published with the ‘Onet’ news update is a fundraiser mascot image of Dr. Timothy Snyder attired in a jacket and tie. Dr. Snyder is an American historian of things Eastern Europe, Soviet Russia, and Holocaust as well as being a member of the CFR. Apparently in the 25/26 academic year he is scheduled to be Chair of Modern European History (at the University of Toronto?). This will be thanks to the Temerty Endowment for Ukrainian Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. Since Dr. Snyder obviously can’t be in two places at one time, “Wikipedia” informs that as of last month the doctor is on sabbatical from Yale.
Dr. Snyder’s spouse, Dr. Marci Shore, also ministers to the students at Yale. Her specialty is European intellectual history from a Marxist perspective.
It seems Yale is named after one of its early benefactors who emigrated back to the Olde Worlde with his parents at the age of three years. Mr. Elihu Yale grew up to be a wealthy President of Fort St. George (Madras, India) [no relation to the publisher of this fine platform] under the umbrella of the East India Company.
As an aside, the entymology of “Yale” would appear to point towards ‘ibex’ or ‘wild goat’.
George,
The DJIA has fractal groupings consistent with a 19 Feb 2025 3/8/5 of 8 day :: y/2.5y/2.5y 3-phase fractal crash series similar to the 30 Sept 1987 crash with a 3 day 1st fractal.
Looking at the fractal groupings (determined by fractal trend-lines) of the SPX and other world composite indices, I’m still in favor of a 12 Feb 2025 7/14-18/14-18 day 3-phase crash fractal series.
With heavy heart I would like to report SK KF5YNN. He passed away yesterday. He got into ham radio late in life but did as much as he could
and making contacts throughout the world. He was a private pilot with A&P endorsement. Built his own plane and has the certificate and cup for landing the the highest elevation US airport in Colorado. He was a Deacon in the Catholic Church and work for hospice. He was a man who would help a friend out anytime.. He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.
