This is where we figure out what being a neat homemaker has in common with being a successful investor. Which – sure – sounds a little “out there” until you drill down into how organizing works.
Then there’s actually a great deal to be learned.
A few headlines and a super-interesting ChartPack today – about 18 of ’em (but it’s early to count so high, lol).
Even on the “free side” we might hint that a good sell-off in markets today, could presage a smoking Retail Sales report tomorrow. All that’s missing is whether this will be a “sell the rumor, buy the news” setup for Thursday when retail sales come in.

Hal Turner: French President Emmanuel Macron will give an urgent address to the nation Thursday evening at about 8:00 PM local time, to discuss the situation in Ukraine. I reported this on last night’s Hal Turner Radio Show. It gets worse . . .
The French parliament approved the French president’s strategy towards Ukraine and supported the bilateral security agreement signed by Macron and Zelenskyy.
Under a Bi-lateral security agreement, a country like France can agree to send its active duty military troops into Ukraine, which would be separate and distinct from a “NATO” action.
The fact that the French Parliament has approved Macron’s Bi-Lateral Security Agreement is a terrible development. It heralds the coming of an out-of-control escalation of the Russia Ukraine conflict that could catapult the world into World War 3. Tomorrow. When Macron reveals his plans . . .

1-1-3 Ritual Day?
https://theageofdesolation.com/nostradamus/2024/02/20/a-date-to-watch-march-11-2024/
.., damn
The French starting a war. That has never worked out for them in the past.
Can’t believe they would do this.
A separate action from NATO ? Russia will not look at it that way., not at all. That will be a declaration of war as far as Russia is concerned – and those hard-liners that Putin has, so far, kept in-check, will go bat shit crazy if French troops enter the Ukraine.
.., damn !

On the 13th, after the 13th anniversary on the 11th?

So, Macron is volunteering to execute France’s next generation of breeding stock…
…I’d assume the line of bullshit Macron is going to spread is: “As long as Russia only kills cheese-eaters in the breadbasket, NATO won’t be involved.”
It is France, FFS!
The first time a French soldier slices his pinky on a piece of crystal stemware, his COs COs COs CO is going to demand Macron play the Article 5 card. Putin should drop the first tactical nuke on the Maillol Museum in Paris, just to flash all these cheese-choking idiots out of existence with the same shot.
I’m guessing all the communists, fascists, Satanists, WEFers (or whatever they are) are freaking the fuck out because Trump is leading by more now than he was before they pumped the creeper full of Adderall and Cocaine and had him foist that turd of a SOTU on us. If they don’t get their nuclear war in the next eight months, they might never get it…
( “You should have cut that sonofabitch off when he cut in front of you!” rages this voice in traffic,”
“Although we have never spoken of it (directly) I already know (fathers sense such things) that my son (G2) has a similar “internal view” to my own.”)
You know that is really interesting.. I seriously wonder if there is something wrong with my perspectives.. I once had a guy say to me.. you know how sometimes you have those violent urges to just smack someone..
I don’t have thoughts or feelings like that.. and it has bothered me.. my little and older mini me’s are just like myself that way to.. while their father is opposite.. has those feelings of god I would love to smack them..
In my first marriage that was why the ex’s family hated me.. because I seen value in a woman and respected space.. I grew up in a family where my father had to raise his sister until they got to middle school when someone took my aunt in and my father.. He moved in with the beckwiths and their son was like a brother to my father.. Bob.. His mom Alice was the only mother my father ever knew..
He and my mother never argued or fought.. every night you would see those two walking hand in hand while we played in the park going on their evening walk.. the only violent act I ever seen was my father coming up behind mom smacking her on the butt and then turning to run and hitting the door frame knocking himself out LOL LOL LOL mom was chasing him…then cried cause dad hurt himself.. LOL.. so my first wifes family wasn’t like that.. they felt and probably still do .. that a good wife needs a smack once in a while to keep her in line..
my ex was a good woman but the family interference and the abuse she had as a child.. caused her mental issues that could not be overcome..
My wife now and I have a marriage similar to my mother and father..
they tried to teach us kids REASON.. do unto others.. so I never have thoughts of violence which I find ODD.. is there something wrong with me .. I know my mini me is exactly like me.. he knows his father hates snakes.. so he catches them and lets them go where they can be safe.. the dogs that I have had are not violent either.. they are just as mellow as you can get.. they may think you came to see them and want a treat or to be petted.. but if they ever bit anyone.. I would question what did you do to make my animal bite you.. they have deep barks.. but that is the come pet me don’t you see I am right here LOL.. the look the dog gave when UPS and FEDEX drove right on by LOL I wished I had had a movie camera.. LOL

It has been my experience that a main canopy failure to deploy response begins with “Shit!”, then all that training kicks in. Nothing like a few thousand push ups to start set the appropriate response processes into your on board memory banks.

Reel it back in and fluff it out again.
You have nothing else better to do :)
Transaction Analysis uses Parent, Adult, and Child instead of Super-ego, Ego, and ID. I always found the terms easier to use especially when talking about those conversations in your head. When talking about your work space the Parent wants to throw everything out, the Adult wants everything clean and neat, and the child wants everything wherever they left it last.
I used to bake alot and had my baking supplies organized in a large cabinet that suited my needs. My method actually limited how much I bought of each item due to space available. My daughter couldn’t find “anything” so I reorganized according to her preferences. She still can’t find anything and I don’t like the new arrangement. Hahaha. So the person using the materials the most should organize the stuff in whatever way makes the most sense to them.
The problem with commercial A.I. is steering. Go to Googles and search “Donate to Biden” and note the result rank. Now do the same with “Donate to Trump”. Biden clearly has the superior SEO team. So if A.I. is using any kind of searching using Googles the ranks can be contrived and the A.I. is potentially being steered along with us. Do the same searches using Duckduckgo and Trump is at the top for the Trump search. So that gets into which server farm is more reliable.
We talk about compromised chips. In A.I. war perhaps one A.I. could call upon their chips to create search bots which pollute results for the opposing A.I.
I’m not sure how to frame the question but what would the A.I. result be for questioning, ‘Should the New World break from the King?’ while only using the historic record up to 1776 +/-. Perhaps A.I. would agree with history or warn of a future catastrophic global war 250 years out.
“Putin Issues Ominous Nuclear Warning to U.S”
All Russia has is threats. The Ukies/NATO are slowly picking off Russian assets. Russia could sneak attack/blitz into Europe and take/destroy maybe 30% of NATO then NATO overwhelms Russia and Russia ceases to be.
Out of clues _____
Overwhelming rainbow warriors..sure.
2 himars and US crews (at least 30) Iskandered (1 missile) past week. All were grouped close together in nighttime convoy=genius.
Russia possesses superior Aircraft, Missiles, Tanks, Submarines,Nooks, Fighting Forces. Defense manufacturing capabilities that make US/Nato look like very corrupt crooks, that is not “Threats” , this is reality.
12 secret bases (cia) and 9-10 years of data collection so valuable as to render entire western weapon systems “Feeble” in 1 year. Money well spent ,no?
Ukeie troops have shortest battlefield lifespan I have ever seen, ever. Guys are showing up frontlines without boots, not just corpses with missing footwear, talkin live targets and canon fodder.
No air defense, no air force, mass graves of ukie dead -dumped and hidden so command can death Bennie’s.=Priceless.
Only thing they can do is attempt terrorist strikes on Civilians and civilian targets .
As Pooterz was quoted yesterday on local Ruskie news, “The western elites vampire ball is over.” Rest of the quote is even more telling as to what you and Ure government stand for and support.
Natasha, we are the shining light of Christianity, let us illuminate and burn the darkness(us/nato).
Boris booming gobbledygook.
“In total, the Russian Air Force (VVS) has so far lost 105 aircraft, according to specialized open-source intelligence site Oryx (which only counts losses verified by visual documentation). On the Ukrainian side, losses since the start of the invasion amount to 75 combat aircraft.”
– 2 days ago
“Battleship: Ukraine’s Hits On Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Nearly two dozen Russian naval vessels have been damaged or destroyed by Ukraine since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.”

“The IISS will publish its assessment of Russian equipment losses on 13 February with the release of The Military Balance 2024. The losses are estimated to include more than 3,000 armoured fighting vehicles in the past year alone and close to 8,800 since February 2022.”
– Feb 12, 2024
Yesterday was it “Ukrainian drones and missiles strike Russian oil refineries.” That’s not winning.
Then you meander into ‘secrets’. Make it all up. Google is lying. Secret Moon bases. Russians with the assistance of ET pulled off the Tunguska event.
The screens show Russia doesn’t dare attack the Avengers of NATO even while their refiners burn and and drones fly into St. Petersburg.
That’s not to say Russia doesn’t surprise attack with nukes and wipes me out or London off the map but in the end NATO crushes Russia.
Avengers ? 30 just smoked last night. Most get vaporized in hotel/brothels in the overnights.
https://www.theinteldrop.org/2024/03/13/does-the-fate-of-inferior-us-arms-in-ukraine-create-pause-for-thought-ahead-war-with-china/
Nothing made up, no secrets, facts on the ground. CIA-DoD/NATO is and has been getting their asses handed to them.
Will provide more links to intel, videos of Russian successes. Not one single battlefield victory in past year for ukies/nato.
Sure some losses as Russians learn to adjust tactics for unmanned stealth boats. Ure potshots are just that -potshots from desperate men in desperate situations.
NATO attacks civilian targets, almost exclusively, while Russia only destroys military targets and targets which military be hiding in.
Global Scumbags at best.
CGI Joe- Masked man in the WH is one lying to you.
“according to specialized open-source intelligence site Oryx”
Neither Jakub Janovsky nor Oryx seem to have existed before November of 2023.
I believe I would not accept Oryx as an information source without allowing it, and Janovsky to ripen a little. For right now, “specialized open-source intelligence site” sounds a little too much like an AI construct…
Patriot systems smoked by Iskander..thinks about that, anti missile defense systems defeated by 1 missile.
https://sputnikglobe.com/20240313/ukraine-stretched-thin-across-multiple-fronts-after-patriot-loss-1117296942.html
Patriot is a lousy antimissile system for the Ukrainians. While neither is as good as the Russian systems the Ukes wasted at the start of the festivities (s-200, if memory serves), Iron Dome would be a much better option than Patriot. Patriot’s strength is very high altitude intercept. Russia isn’t launching ICBMs, they’re firing mostly S/S battlefield rockets. Patriot as a primary defense against low-altitude S/S is like playing golf with a fungo bat…
The meteor that hit Russia about 11 years ago. There was 1 youtube video that was uploaded and I wish I would have saved it. It showed what looked like an object speeding up into the tail of the meteor it hit and the meteor blew up.
No ones ever talked about it and I have looked a few times for the video but cant find it.
For the object to speed up and strike the meteor well if it happened, they or someone has something.
Does anyone remember this video?
On another note the next morning I’m in my work truck stopped at a light and kaboom a bright flash lit up the sky around me and the song “This is the end” by the doors was playing on the radio. I for sure thought we were being hit by meteors from the huge asteroid that had passed by earth the day before. Turns out it was a transformer that blew up next to me on the power pole hahahha
That video over Russia stuck with me though as you could clearly see this object moving up through the meteor tail strike it and blow the meteor apart.
“Does anyone remember this video?”
Yes.
Deal Extreme was the place to shop Asia, before Alibaba went live. They were marketing about 200 different dashcams and I was looking at dashcams.
The meteorite video was a capture from a dashcam that was purchased from D/E. I invested considerable time and energy, trying to find out which one, because that was the one I was going to buy. (Search unsuccessful, BTW).
The meteorite exploded, however, I don’t recall it being shot. Since meteorites at or above a certain size (depending upon density, I believe) typically explode before impact, I also didn’t look.
I remember that video.. been looking for it but can’t find it anywhere..
Had to comment
Ego – one definition
– In psychoanalysis, the division of the psyche that is conscious, most immediately controls thoughts and behaviors, and is most in touch with external reality.
– Ego – controls thoughts and behaviors.
– I have consciously worked at controlling my ego [ as described above] over the past few decades and it has been a constant battle.., as what I was, is no longer required, or needed – though at times it still pops up, takes control and arranges a meeting for someone to visit their dentist, or hospital. I can’t stop it once it is called upon – usually to right a wrong.
Going “Full Viking” on someone is still in me – it’s still there., lurking and waiting for an opportunity to enter this reality. The demon within?
I will be the first to admit that I am getting a little old for such behavior., but every now and then a youngster needs a lesson in life that their parents didn’t teach them.
Why I chose to be ‘their’ teacher is beyond me.., possibly a slightly twisted ID ? As the misses describes it: “A genetic longing for a flagon of rum., a double bearded axe and a battlefield calling my name.” – Who knows…,
For the most part, with the help of the misses, I have managed to stay within this realm of civilized society – for the most part. At least my police blotter is still ‘clean’.
– Self-psychoanalysis is not a strong area with me.
As I hope was evident in the PN report, I am a huge believer in templates – tried and true – and in kicking my own ass frequently (quite verbally abusive on myself, lol) when I fail to meet my own impossibly high standards.
OTOH, without high standards, it would be like new math. Attainable by idiots and useless in the end facing real problems to solve.
I do set myself up once in a while., with standards that are just out of reach – but that’s ok.., it makes me try even harder, better the next time around.
I also have what you refer to as templates. All well tried and proven. A few of those ‘templates’ I have been trying to set aside. They work great – just not for this time., this ‘era’.
.., and to clarify – I have only twice in my life gone after someone., “with very bad intentions”. Once in Vietnam with a low life officer – that the command shipped out to the Philippines before I could get my hands on him [ the CSM knew I was coming.] – and a drug dealer in Amsterdam that had built a small army of some very sick individuals.. Took me couple of days – but we finally “met”.
All the others., I was paid to get rowdy and uncooperative.
You are a sheep dog, Mr. d’Lynn, no matter how old you are. You still have that muscle memory. Your wife must be fabulous.
My standards may have slipped a notch or two as I’ve aged. I’m now down to a 50/50 standard for such things as my wife’s chicken house roof replacement. From 50 feet away, at 50 mph, it looks great.
it did kick on once.. grr.. the rest of the time no go.. piece of junk.. they put in some fancy control board that is pure crap..
boy am I getting my ass kicked.. the wife was not for putting in the backup generator.. we got a cummins.. what a mistake.. the dam thing isn’t even six months old and every week I have to go out and reset it.. I think it is the control board.. the thing runs great except that dam control board.. call and bitch and get the royal run around.. what a piece of crap it is.. I should have gone with a generac.. when it runs it runs nice and quiet.. I did ask if they could take that dam board out put an on and off switch and a start button.. in cold weather it just blinks and gives you a line of dots.. what a piece of junk and the wife is definitely reminding me of it..
“I can’t stop it once it is called upon – usually to right a wrong.
Going “Full Viking” on someone is still in me – it’s still there., lurking and waiting for an opportunity to enter this reality. The demon within?”
This was me, too. Once I had my moment and realized I was an 11th Century Berserker in a 20th century body, I took steps to reprogram myself, to not respond, not take offense, not be aggressive, and not lose my cool. It took well over 10 years of daily meditation, coupled with a really strong desire to exorcise my inner Viking. The Beast still shows up, but only about once every 10 years and only for a few seconds, and I really have to be pushed for this to happen.
Consumer Spending [report] is something we all should pay attention to., it is the backbone of the economy.
– Consumer spending consensus, well, there isn’t any. Looks like a complete crap-shoot.
40 / 40 / 20…, 40% up., 40 % down and 20% say wait and see.
Came across an interesting bit of American History. One of those moments in time that really SHOULD be in our History books. Seriously, just a memorial plackard on the side of the road doesn’t do it justice.
“The Battle of Athens”
Athens Tennessee, USA.
https://www.americanheritage.com/battle-athens
History has been known to repeat itself. I wonder if something that rhymes will ever happen. Hmmm
Consumer spending?
Dollar Tree, which operates roughly 16,700 locations including the Family Dollar chain, said it would close nearly 1,000 Family Dollar stores.
The company reported a loss of $1.71 billion for the three months ended Feb. 3, compared with a profit of $452.2 million, a year earlier.
They will close about 600 Family Dollar stores in the first half of the current year, and an additional roughly 370 Family Dollar stores and 30 Dollar Tree stores in the coming year.

Folks,
It seems the UK may be floating a trial balloon to foreign residents enjoying the involuntary hospitalities of various HM Prison locales. The offer is a get out of jail card and a £1500 award for playing plus a complimentary deportation to country of origin.

re: The Derby Must Go On
feat: Lady Godiva, Countess of Mercia (sp.)
Folks,
The first parachute jump in Vancouver took place from Richmond’s Minoru Park in May 1912 according to Wikipedia. The park was named after King Edward VII’s racehorse, Minoru, the only reigning monarch-owned (leased!) winner of the Epsom Derby in 1909, held annually since 1780 whether the Kingdom be at war or peace. Minoru retired to the Russian Empire and was not heard from after 1917. KEVII’s future daughter-in-law Queen Mary of the Empire Exhibition Doll House fame of 1924 had acquired around the same time a toylike horseshoe-shaped broach. The Horseshoe Broach – having 3 rubies and 4 sapphires with “Minoru” engraved in diamonds – was first seen photographed being worn upside down in 1929 by the Duchess of York (mother of the late QE2). Upon the passing of HM QE2, the broach was worn to her funeral service by her great-grandaughter, Princess Charlotte.
Today the Horseshoe Broach rode again. Queen Camilla wore the jewelry piece for “Style Wednesday” at the Cheltenham Festival racecourse in Gloucestershire.
The “Daily Mail” Royal Reporter offered her lamentations that The Jockey Club had chosen to dispense with the longstanding “Ladies Day” in favor of a non-binary substitute. The journalist, a former Conservative MP until 2023 whose service in elected government was relegated to the paddock after supporting Mrs. Truss for PM, offers much wit and sarcasm from upon her new mount. Indeed the Princess Royal’s neck was said to be wrapped in a “nude scarf” while being chaperoned about the grounds by her former early 70’s boyfriend who went on to become the first husband of the current Queen Consort, Camilla. At least in a nod to non-binary “Style Day” wokeness, the feminine writer detailed a material failure in the trousers of an otherwise fine gentleman who had perhaps taken too much to heart organizers’ encouragement to don “pre-loved clothing”.
Average family earnings, worldwide, per year, were ~$3142.00US in 2019 (the last year of normality). I should think seven months income and a ride home is more than generous. For places like Venezuela, which sent us their convicts and has let it be known that said cons would not be re-admitted, a crash course in military tactics, an M-16, and a couple boxes of ammo before being transported in insertion vehicles would be sufficient…
fwiw:
Worked out of the house this AM … and just to create some noise I turned on Bloomberg. For the free version of Bloomberg via my Roku box two ads always come up before it switches over to the actual studio where they are talking business and markets and guess what the FIRST ad was for today?
ETHERIUM!!
The Etherium ETF is not yet even approved and they are already MARKETING IT!! One of the just two ads that appear at the beginning of watching Bloomberg was for Etherium.
Some entity was spending BIG BUCKS to market Etherium to an obviously self selected market of people involved with the markets.
This was like my eye opening expeience at the Denver airport while switching planes on Jan 19th just after the Bitcoin ETF was approved and on the ONLY electronic billboard in the entire SW terminal 1/2 of the time it was marketing a Bitcoin ETF (Bitcoin was about $50,000 at the time).
Advertising WORKS. It is what keeps the TV networks in the clover.
If they are already advertising a product that is NOT yet approved (coming up in April for SEC approval) imagine what is going to happen once the approval comes down the pike!
They are imo going to hit up the “Financial Advisors” big time in order to get them to start recommending that they get their clients to put a small amount of money into Crypto … say 1% or 2%. May not sound like much, but that would be a virtual GUSHER of money chasing a very small supply of product.
All fwiw.
Do your own research and due dilligence
“Living in 200 square feet (living on a boat is real minimalism) versus meandering around 1.5 million square feet of land and 2,500 square feet of space just magically invites excess consumption.”
Amen! Apartment living in crowded city vs my own little Volcano Ranch. Never knew I had so much ‘stuff’ I intended to ‘get to’ when I retired. Recent help has been to trade in the old little truck AND the Corvette I fixed up for the Titan truck. The Titan got it’s own canopy in the side yard and now I have a big open space in the garage to spread out and take care of temporary tasks even on rainy days… which most are around here. SPACE! Gimme more!
Ooo, baby. Now you can move to race George in the boatanchor game…

Nope, afraid Hank is joined at the hip to an ic-7300 – and he may never get into the good old-fashioned tube type gear, lol. It’s it doesn’t have a network upstream of it somewhere, I just don’t think tubes interest him.
I had tube gear when I was a kid. Now I’ve moved on to more grownup toys. :-) No, I still don’t have enough space like ‘Tex’ does. I live on an island, remember?
And no, I’m not a ‘network’ ham. What’s the fun in IP DXing? I’m still an HF ‘propagationist’, and I can claim some of the rarest DX on.. and off… the planet.
There’s more than one report indicating Putin threatening to use nukes, I chose a headline from FOX.
“Putin warns the West that Russia is ‘ready’ for nuclear war: ‘Weapons exist in order to use them'”
Don’t be surprised if we wake up one day to learn Putin has been nuked and Moscow neutralized in a first strike.
I can’t find the actual document Biden signed so be cautious.
Biden Policy Allows First Use of Nuclear Weapons
“Senior U.S. officials said that Biden has decided not to follow through on his 2020 pledge to declare that the sole purpose of nuclear weapons is to deter a nuclear attack against the United States or its allies. Instead, he approved a version of a policy from the Obama administration that leaves open the option to use nuclear weapons not only in retaliation to a nuclear attack, but also to respond to non-nuclear threats.”
https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2022-04/news/biden-policy-allows-first-use-nuclear-weapons
And that’s how it’ll go down.
All it will take is one DU shell on Russian soil and the gloves will be off. Because Vlad the Mad will seize on it as a “first use” of a radiological device. After that, size will matter but not restraint, so much.
Putin is threatening and there’s a video of him floating around doing so.
Nuclear fallout is what we in the cheap seats are facing. You’ve prepared the best you can.
I only see two options that lessen radiation.
Avoidance – NATO/US compromise Russian leadership and internally Putin is eliminated. Not likely.
First strike – neutralize enemy the best we can.
If Putin is eliminated, your radmeter will be pegging itself before his corpse is cold.
A portion of Russia’s sub fleet is missing, and likely within between 30 seconds and 8 minutes (in missile flight time) of about 250 million of us, you and me included. If someone at the Pentagon decided “first strike” was a good idea, when they launched, they would be flashed out of existence before they could reach the express elevator to B -4.
Be careful what you wish for…

“You know, Ego was right, you didn’t have to waste those 1.3 seconds letting that bad driver merge.”
Have you ever driven in New York City? The last time I did was in a pickup truck that I’d bought in Schenectady. I had pickups at a photo store and two jewelry stores in Midtown, so 5pm on a Friday night saw me maneuvering an F150 through Friday rush hour traffic in Midtown Manhattan, with my daughter hanging out the passenger window with her Sony Alpha. To change lanes in NYC, you simply begin to move to where you want to be. The driver beside you, and the driver beside him, and the driver beside her, will all shift sideways when you shift. The driver in the leftmost or rightmost lane will slow down to allow the last shifter to move into that lane.
This is a hard & fast rule in Manhattan, Bronx, and Harlem (and likely the other boroughs), but why? Why do the drivers in NYC all drive like this?
Because it is more efficient than having an accident.
This is why, in the dark recesses of your mind, you leave your greater asshole behind and let that driver merge…

“Elaine had what I can only call “physical memory.” If she touched something, she could always find it again.”
