Hurricane Matthew: The Business Model

Fresh cup for this one.  Longish discussion but we want to weave whole cloth. Before we get to the jobs report, a word about the current climate change mania is in order. Where “Climate” Fits Economic Manipulation As all long-time readers know, one of the major premises of our views is that Everything is a … Read More

Coping: Lucid Dreaming–For Money?

I have had my nose in a book every moment I get this week which hasn’t been enough. The book is about lucid dreaming, how to get there, and what to do with it. The short course on topic would go something like this: There are five levels of lucid dreaming. These range from just … Read More

Debt Sex & Screwed Kids

Screw the Kids, load ‘em with debt.  Fun future, huh? This is a topic we have been getting into on our Peoplenomics.com subscriber side lately. We’ve explored how the endless mountain of debt foisted on our children has basically doomed America to the scrap head of history. The main idea is simple enough: You can’t … Read More

Coping: Dragon Kings and Pending California Quakes?

I got up this morning at 3:11 AM and started working.  Brain on fire and unable to sleep.  It crossed my mind that this may be linked to a pending major earthquake.  But how, exactly, is not clear. Allow to to explain (if this is your first visit) that I am very susceptible to extreme … Read More

Solving for X, Solving for $

This morning we’re really focused on the market which is about to enter (late this week and early next) one of our “crash zones.”  These happen 55-days after significant market peaks.  Full Moon comes along with it just to kick it up a notch. A couple of words on where we are and how to … Read More

Art of the Real: On the Matter of “Forced Perspective”

We go on a romp of “connect the dots” this morning. The occasion is this is “medical week” for us. Killing time at the eye doc’s (20/50 and 20/30’ish for the eyes now) and off for Elaine’s turn this morning. This means time to read, but not at the high bandwidth, nor the data tools, … Read More

Coping: How Much Water, How Much Food?

In the recent columns we have skirted around how prepping is definitely mainstream. It has come about in a very smooth way, too. Since for the most part, people have not cleaned-off store shelves, as often happens in advance of major storms and such. A word from the German government here, a hint from a … Read More

It’s March 21, 1929 and Markets Go Flat

The first headline to pay attention to is the one about how Auto Sales are looking like they’ll hit $47 billion for September. This is insane, but it’s how the planet rolls. With this in mind, let’s see how we are doing on Ure’s replay of 1929, shall we? The proposed market top next spring … Read More

Coping/Distractions: Cue the UFOs

We normally would not start off a Monday morning with a UFO report, but this one is a little different and perhaps more significant. Let’s begin with the story itself,, which is neatly summarized with pictures in the UK Sun under the headline “WHAT THE HELL IS IT? Mystery as alien hunters catch bizarre UFO … Read More

Planning a "Disaster Room" (Part 1)

We have a number of factors that are coming together that force us to think through an earthen home addition. Whether you are talking radiation resistance, food storage, an additional bedroom, family day room for when the grid goes during a hot summer in the south, or an additional armory space…a “Disaster Room” is making … Read More

Gobal Markets: Playing on the Slide

If you read my column on September 19, you will recall that the first of my “red dates” to be on crash alert came up yesterday. No, not kidding. Go here and scroll down to the box and you will see I called it to the day. Not bad for a crazy man of the … Read More

Coping: Paranoid Prepping Short Course

Several times, people either in jest (and some seriously) will ask if I am paranoid because I take prepping so seriously. The answer, near as I can figure, is no, not paranoid. But I have an extremely good sense of inquiry and I like to see how pieces fit together. So should you if you’re … Read More

Number’s Dump and a Globalism Rant

OK, almost a Peoplenomics report (no charts though and shorter) but very serious this morning. On the top of the agenda is a bunch of economic data, but then I get in to a serious rant on how the Fed is inserting itself in globalist trade with a regional Fed chief’s remarks in Ireland.  That’s … Read More
