Prepping: Storing “Obsolete Knowledge”

A tale about Obsolete Knowledge today – a very instructive tale, especially if you’re over 40 and particularly if you think about the En d of the World.. Since my friend of 65-years (‘the major‘) is down visiting, part of my preps for his visit included downloading some Ham Radio Extra Class test prep questions.  … Read More

The Clock Running Out

We skip the politics of insanity this morning to focus on our highest value:  Namely, using longwave economics and an assortment of analytical tools to take a reasonable guess at the future. We don’t have to be 100% right; just somewhat so, in order to shade our outcome well ahead of the financial average…. So, … Read More

Prepping: Card Files Vs. Databases

This is a discussion to have with yourself and all your other “team members” including spouse and children.  It’s all about how you manage your Life.

Idiots to Riot – Useless Protesters, Jobs

There is a “clear and present danger” to America coming this weekend to a country near you.  It’s idiotic leftist protesters who will be out – funded by left-wing benefactors who suck  money out from the gullible – on the notion that their protest means something. Bad news from Reality: After the vote, it doesn’t … Read More

Looking Past Jobs

As we continue to careen toward the financial abyss  we are faced with the morning ponder about jobs. In case you missed in, the ADP report out Wednesday looked pretty good: Unfortunately, that’s being tempered today with the job cuts announcement from Challenger… You don’t need to be a “rocket surgeon” to run out the … Read More

ACNWTP – An Income Tax Solution?

Philosophy of Finance today:  Want an alternative to the Federal Income Tax system that’s in place now? You have come to the right place because we’re rolling one out. Why, coupled with our plans to tax human replacing robots  (defining everything with more than 8K of RAM equivalent as an income tax generating human-replacer) – … Read More

Prepping: Navigating Transfrugalism

I was talking to my buddy Gaye who runs the StrategicLivingBlog site and we got t o comparing notes on how our lives have run,  versus how Millennials seem to be setting up their personal outcomes for “down the road.” Gaye and I have known each other since 1973, and over the past 45-years, we’ve … Read More

The Coming DATA-WAR With Europe

The phone rang.  Six-minutes after 7 AM.  Prime writing time.  Who would call while I’m  in crank-it-out mode??? Why, my consigliere, of course! “Did you see what Europe did?” “Er….looked at the DAX a minute ago…down a bit…” “No.  Remember the Facebook data breach?  40-50 million, right?  Of those only about 5-million were Europeans.  Care … Read More

Expectation-Setting Monday

As usual around here, the first order of business any day is making the weekly list of things to do, what to watch-for in the markets, and figuring where the next “out of left field” events will be coming from. Since I make no apologies for capitalism, we can begin with markets which are set … Read More

Prepping: Project Big Ears

OK, serious preppers:  Time to pay attention because George’s Radio School is now in session. At this point, a number of ham radio operators will look at the antenna to the right and proclaim they know all about it and then skip on to the next article. In point of fact, however, real DX (dx … Read More

Our Longwave View Firms

Back to the “meat and potatoes” this morning as we focus on what we think lies ahead based on wave counts, news flows, channel development, international money flows, and where we are in the economic longwave. Also, a long extract from my new book that comes out on Monday…. A few headlines as warm up, … Read More

Prepping: And Optimized Sod House

Don’t tell my wife about today’s column.  She’d probably think I’ve flipped out.  But, then again, she’s not an “over-think the problem” kind of person.  I am… When we look at prepping – step way back from the problem – we need to begin asking at every turn “What could go wrong?” We know, for … Read More

Circus! Circus! America Appalled, Jellyfish Party Waivers

Everyone run from street!  America is nuts! We have new-found respect for Senator Lindsey Graham, who pretty-much nailed it in his questioning of judge Brett Kavanaugh in the wake of the Christine Ford testimony at the “Sink-the-Kavanaugh Circus” on Thursday: We have to concur with Graham.  The whole process has been a joke. But the … Read More
