Serious futuring discussion here: The news all makes sense, at some level. It tells us the future, if we but listen closely, inspect the details, view with detachment, and just watch how it flows…
Other than the random AoG’s (Acts of God) caused by semi-random mechanical failures and such, there’s a “string” or “current” that becomes clear over time.
A flow of events.
When it clarifies, everyone sits back and says “Aha! So THAT is what all that stuff that happened before meant!” Usually, after the fact, though.
Pardon a long ramble, but we’ve got a ton of data now that is in the formative stages of becoming semi-connected, and perhaps at a meaningful level. These could be the initial eddies formed as the River of War makes up its mind where to flow next.
How to see it? Ah! That’s the problem. Most people read the news and see only singular events. Yet, as our studies of finance reveal, there are lever-like. cause-and-effect, relationships that become easily seen with not too much difficulty. And because big things like War tend to influence things like Markets, some attention should be paid to the playing field upon which the small investor has chosen to engage.
Consequently, we have a collection of notes that lead us to expect huge (humanity-changing?) developments later this year. This is not yet conclusive, only conjecture. This is not to say that something will happen. Only that in nooks and crannies of the new flow there are interesting bits, hints, nibbles, gnaws, clicks, and pops that give signs or a loose a sketch of this big “thingy” that could be happening this summer into fall.
Naturally, if the data changes, our outlook changes, as well.
With that as a disclaimer, let me toss out some notes and see how future history for the balance of this year could play out. Some of this will be highly speculative, while other parts are hot out of this morning’s news runs.
Let’s toss it ALL on the table and see what the connections are, shall we?
1. The first “open bin” has to do with the passing of Ariel Sharon recently. That’s because of the rabbi Kaduri prophesy that with his passing, the Jewish Messiah will arrive shortly thereafter to announce himself in Jerusalem.
We have two population groups awaiting a Messiah/Imam to show up. Followers of Messiahs/Imams have done great wars in the past. The Muslim Conquests and the Crusades are sufficiently large as to draw attention from an investment standpoint. Happening today they would be world-changers.
This is because of the huge fractions of population that were swept into partisanship roles during these events in the past. Wars like these do, indeed, change everything.
2. The data collection has to do with the motion within greater Islam at the moment where we see two roots of that tree twisting about for supremacy. One sees it in the strong internal dissent between the Sunni and Shi’ite sects and it works out in places such as Syria. There, we have a strongly backed Shi’ite government versus a Sunni insurgency. Who will drive?
3. It becomes even more clear when I get emails, like this one, from our news analyst fellow up in Winnipeg:
Dear Mr. Ure,
Now that the UAE is drafting a mandatory conscription law, Qatar apparently introduced one late in 2013, and Kuwait could be on the same path, one wonders why this and why now?
Regards,
So yes, we see the increasing levels of militarism within Islam. 80+ % of the country is Sunni.
4. And yet another bin that’s collecting data has to do with the huge investment that the government of (mostly Sunni) Saudi Arabia has made in keeping Egypt friendly to their views of the world. And reports of the growing informal relationships being tilled between the Saudis and Israel over the upcoming role of Syria. See references to “Frenemies.”
5. This morning, another set of horrors emerges in Syria as a purported photographer for the Assad government has escaped to the West with damning pictures that [allege] to show upwards lots of young dead men – victims of alleged brutality of the Assad regime.
6. But at the same time, while the bodies are stacking up, readers seem sometimes confused by our reports contributed from “warhammer” as we call him, that point out many of this underlying currents. Here’s a typical reader concern:
“I do take issue with your war-gamer pal. Now, maybe he is only presenting strictly the war gamer’s plans, as derived from their personal psychopathic power & warmongering personalities. But I do think it is a disservice to your readers to not at least mention that Iran has never preemptively attacked or invaded another country in over 200 years. Iran wants to stay out of the usury game. They want nothing to do with the IMF. They also kicked out the Shah, America’s puppet. They have lots of reasons to dislike us. And, they were signers on to the IAEA, until they realized it was so rigged. Israel has refused to sign on to the IAEA. Even if Iran were to get nukes, and who could blame them, I doubt they would ever use them preemptively, at least if recent history is any indicator.”
And yes, that’s all true, so please consider it mentioned and reminded.
