We arrive at Chapter 12 of our book on anti-aging techniques just in time for War. Impeckerble timing, if I do say so.
Before we jump in to the problem of “rolling the clock back” there’s not only war to discuss but also the employment report – ADP is out.
And then there’s the ChartPack where to try to figure out which place on the cliff we drove off…
You’re advised to bring coffee and a good sense of humor. Because while war is no laughing matter, politics of late – and several other topics – really have become jokes. Even though no one’s laughing, yet.

People still fall for the content of the debates.
The debaters pointed their fingers at Democrat/Republican leadership, Congress, each other, legalities. The $ buys less than it did two weeks, two years or even 10 decades ago while there are more people than ever on .gov dole in one form or another.
To vote endorses the system.
To vote unwisely, or not at all, perpetuates the system’s abuses.
The turd king from delaware will tie up all air support for north and south carolina ,to slap himself on the back. Someone needs to remind him that he gave ukraine most of are spare transformers. Maybe mention that to lady lyndsey graham also. Didn’t pedo joe just give ukraine money and then told the reporters the hurricane victims he would not allocate any more money?

“the last Depression was deflationary in nature”
I think that is true.
“people started “sitting on their wallets” ”
Is this true? One of the legends is the shoeshine boy giving stock tips. We also know many folks were buying stocks on credit. When the crash came everyone owed their broker more than they had. Perhaps the shoeshine boy owed his mom/dad/mob boss while his customers dried-up because they owed the broker.
So while the depression was deflationary people weren’t necessarily sitting on their wallets. The money was going to creditors for busted trades until they couldn’t pay anymore.
New davenport or stockbroker.
Back in 2008 when Capital One went bust CC debtors were told to still pay their CC payments and they did. Back in 1929 people were probably told to make good on their broker loans but ran out of money and didn’t.
The Depression folk who didn’t participate in the stock market/credit frenzy generally made out in the end but I don’t think they were timing the event it was more happenstance.
Recall after the 2012 housing bust the screens told us it would take decades for house prices to recover. In 1.2 decades prices more than tripled from the lows. Housing prices from the 1933 lows did take decades to recover.
They will this time to..
you see the effects already driving by the shopping centers..
one big motel here ..takes up a full city block.. drive by and you see the employee parking lot ten to fifteen cars..
then look over at the customer parking there was 1..
the same with restaurants and shopping centers.. I was visiting with the shop owner of one store. their concern was they didn’t make enough money to make the electric bill.. he was pretty upset.. his rent alone is 300 per square foot.. plus everything else..
the wife’s and my favorite restaurant is going bankruptcy.. I hope they can stay open.. another clear indicator is how fast the lottery jackpot is growing..
during a downturn the first thing people cut back on is groceries.. trying to keep the things that gave them quality going.. then they cut back on extra curricular expenses and pick up grocery again.
lottery well you have to have expendable cash to gamble..there are those that gamble out of desperation.. but.. its growing real slow right now..
My gauge of hurting out there is chain letters.
I am getting one and some times two chain letter offers a week now. That is how I have always gauge how many people are out there getting desperate.
I have never answered one or put my dollar in and envelope or ordered fifty envelopes with addresses or what ever,
But I always feel a little sorry for the people that felt that was what they had to try to get ahead.
I have a good engineering job, all my SSI, and a little pension. Anna has her SSI, her pension, and her job at the hospital. Together we have about twice what we need, but it all gets spent anyway stocking up the freezer, etc. And we do want to start the barndominium project after the first of the year. We feel Blessed,
I am watching the restaurants in our part of the suburbs, to see what hangs on. I see a few more empty store fronts here and there.
Everybody say a prayer for everybody.
You are right.. that is happening now to.. along with credit card applications.. you are preapproved for.. I even got some bogus bills in the email to..

I have a BoA account and yesterday my account was never zeroed. I did make an ATM deposit early afternoon yesterday and the account did seem to take some time to reflect the deposit when I checked online, but I’ve never made an ATM deposit then immediately checked online so don’t know what the normal reflection time should be. The account is updated accurately as of now.
For some reason my reality seems to be different from everyone else, that is, my BoA account was/is fine while many others reported problems.
Maybe solipsism? Anyone else have a BoA and noticed glitches?
“For some reason my reality seems to be different from everyone else”
yeah. hahahahahahaha. ya. i can totally relate! hahahahha
well i just got called and my trucks fixed. got my crown hung on the bed post in my room and my whopper last night.

I’m listening to an interesting interview with Dr Jack Kruse. It’s a little long but worth the listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiBFtwbyv44
“Jack Kruse is a neurosurgeon who focuses on the study of physics, light, magnetism, and electricity. He ultimately concluded that modern medicine lacked a deep understanding of how humans function in relation to the natural world.”
A little long? It’s four and a quarter hours long! I’ve listened to part of it, and downloaded it twice for posterity. I’m surprised that youtube hasn’t taken it down. There’s a lot of occult and connect the dot kinds of info there. I’m not sure it’s all accurate, but it might be. Too many clues there to ignore. I just need more time to get into this and write down the details worth remembering. I can see the basis for many experiments there.
We’re in the process of moving to Texas! We’ll be in the Lakehills area, close to San Antonio. Closing date on our house is at the last of this month. No more snow shoveling! Completely different from the Kansas City area. We are moving because of family. After living in Kansas for most of my 70+ years, it will be a change!

Since a day before Israeli ground troops entered Lebanon I have been watching the Israeli stock exchange, regularly – for any sign of weakness, or war induced sell-off.
The Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (TASE.TA) is at a record high., closing above 3,500 for the first time, two days ago. Took a 60 point hit this morning at the open., but still looks good., and is up close to 80% YTD.
It would appear that “bullets flying and bodies floating” has a very different effect on their stocks and financials then ours would have.
Don’t believe in war,

I have always had a hard time labeling Jan 6th as an insurrection. Just take a look at all the video’s., and all the people – I doubt that one in twenty could even spell the word.
Jan.6 was an Inside Job… just like 9/11. FBI won’t say how many agents provacateur were in the crowd, entrapping people. Pelosi and her criminal gang in the ‘people’s house’ were in on it and expecting the ‘evacuation’ show. And traitor Garland’s Department of Injustice is squeezing every detainee Trump supporter to the max for examples.
West Texas Tea is back up over $70 a barrel., over Middle East “tensions”. [ What a niece word for ‘war’.] And the Saudi Crown Price ‘ What’s his name”., the head of Opec & buddies, warned that $50 a barrel for crude is possible – and would shut down their exports.
I remember reading last year that if crude dropped below $80 a barrel that the Saudi ‘s would start loosing money. The squandered trillions in gold plate Lamborghini’s.., may be this is a type of pay-back ?
In the back of my mind I have always wondered what they could have accomplished if those trillions wasted had been targeted at cancer research.., or chip manufacturing., or half a dozen other areas – mobile, high out-put desalination plants – that list of “possible” is really long., and they never saw, wanted to see any of them.
Now for what’s in the port workers wallets …

In San Diego, data from a guy who did his thesis on home prices.
He took home prices (95%) twice a year from the home prices ads.
May 1929–5599
Jan. 1930–5093
May 1930-4450
May 1931=4000
May 1931-3050
May 1932-3050
jan. 1934- 2300
june 1934 2500
jan. 1935-3150.
Then went back down from June 1935 to 1940 to 3250. Then went up Jan 1941 -4506.
Prices from 1887 to 1987.
Shiller (the monthly data in the news guy)home prices adjusted for inflation for the past 100 years. 1900 to 2000. Had national prices adjusted for inflation always in the the range of 80 to 120 on his graph until 2000. then went up to 200 in 2007. 40% overvalued. Prices went down 35% from 2008-2012.
We are back to 205 prices in 2024. His data on Yale website. Or google it. Home prices in the next five years will fall 40% again. That will get to 120 on his chart. What happens if go to 100. that is a fifty percent drop in home prices adjusted for inflation.
And worse what happens when the mass layoffs hit the folks who owe money on those houses with large balances? I remember when whole subdivisions blew up in the Houston area – at that time it was a downturn in the economy but rates sky rocketed on ARM’s
there is a standard clause in all home mortgages.. the sixty or ninety day clause.. which is one of the reasons why the Amish will flourish while the rest disperse.. and in the event of a global war.. they are set up as well..
And Many MANY people have borrowed out all their equity, and so if the price falls only $1, they are immediately upside down.
I’ll admit that I watched less than 2 minutes of the VeepBate last night, so I’m not up to speed in that area this morning. I’m also not affiliated with any political parties, and what I’m about to say isn’t partisan so please don’t respond with ‘yeah, but…’
There are several serious issues with Tim Walz. The biggest one is how many times he allegedly visited China. From an OPSEC/Espionage vantage point that behavior is one the main red flags that is taught in even the most basic instruction on how to recognize potential insider threats. Somehow this did not interfere with his military service nor with the security clearance I presume that he must’ve had for at least the latter part of his service. Why? If I had been his commander, and had known about his travel, I would have referred him to Army CID for investigation.
So what does any of this mean? Were his trips sanctioned? Was he sent to China? If so, by whom?
What we’ve seen so far from this man is some very serious red flags. There is more to this guy than meets the eye.
We watched a great movie..the grey.. about guys in a plane crash and the efforts to survive.. then there was a couple great movies on Hallmark channel..

you may want to look into his coaching history and that he was now longer allowed to coach young boys as I recall – your mileage on that may vary ….. just sayin
He was curious about the world? Sheesh…….we had a Prime Minister in 2010 who had worked as a diplomat in China and spoke fluent Mandarin. No worries. Australians are so much more laid back.
Pneumonia…
for years when I was little if you got a really bad cold my parents had an old bottle of severe cold cough medicine in the medicine cabinet.. you got real sick you got a spoon full of it..It had marijuana oil in it..mom would mix it with honey and lemon juice.. great stuff..then one day the bottle was tossed out and a different bottle showed up with opiates in it instead. it never worked as good as the other..
once someone Realizes all the beneficial ways that this plant can be used ..its a miracle plant.. There are tons of studies being done mostly in Canada and the uk. China and several other countries..
the other plant is the weed everyone hates..the dandelion..I personally won’t kill it.. I love the chai dandelion tea..

I actually heard this from Brother Art. What I have looked up confirmed it. The TetraHydroCannabinol in Marihuana is not psychoactive until converted from d8 to d9, from the heat of smoking.
The best way to consume M13 for all the health effects is to Juice it, and drink the juice. That way the TCH is unconverted. The pulp then can go into tasty bread.
Per a comment made a couple of days ago:
After dinner conversations………,
I was out at the bistro table with my laptop, writing., when ‘The Mrs’ walks out and sets down., what looked like, a double bourbon on the rocks, in my favorite glass and then planted her feet.
I looked at the welcomed drink, then back to her..,
“I have something to say.”
“Should I drink this first to soften the blow., or wait to help with the shock?”
[ ut-oh.., hands went to fists., fists went to hips…, seriousness is forth-coming.]
“Do you always have to be so damn right – all the time !?”
“ahh., yeah.., I endeavor to do so. Better than being wrong all the damn time., or mediocre.., I hate mediocre. What exactly am I right about this time, that makes me so wrong?”
“Name something.., anything..,”
“There are ancient, deadly to humans, viruses within the water systems below the surface of Mars.”
“We can’t prove that.”
“No., we can’t. Not yet. Wait for it.”
“What about your trading? Have you been wrong once this whole year?”
“No. Would you feel better if I blew a few thousand every now and then?”
“You drive me crazy ! You know that., right?”
“For being ‘Mr.’ right ?”
“Mr. Right !?.., arrggggg !!” ., and she walks off., shaking her head. I had to smile.
.
After dinner conversations around here can often take an odd spin. I have no idea what brought this subject up., or even if this subject was what she was actually talking about. It could have been wrapped around some snide remark I made three days ago and she just now realized it was true and that somehow frustrated her. Who knows. I may never know. But I have feeling she may take another crack at it., once she gets it straight in her head.
.
In the mean-time.., I still have my double bourbon sitting here., and it’s a great evening. Looks like a nice sunset could happen.
.
Note: She did come back out about ten minutes later, with a glass of red vino., we talked and watched the sunset. The subject was not breached again.
.
“Wait for it.”
Hmm… New moon, solar eclipse, periodic hormones at work? Women were never made to be ‘figured out’ by men. LOL.
lol lol lol…I am not allowed to talk politics, religion..
my niece stopped by the other day and like her cousin she teaches college .. well she is on her third or fourth PhD and she brought her cousin up..he teaches theology.. I said he won’t talk to me.. I possed him off talking religion..sent him to the stacks…
my wife is always right.. lol lol that’s rule 1 rule 2 is if it appears that she is wrong refer to rule one. lol lol
we both love to sit out and enjoy the evening air.. she keeps me on the straight and narrow my match. she accepts my crazy grandpa experimenting and everything I get Yancy she sends me on a construction mission..
“she sends me on a construction mission..”
Good morning LOB,
Good morning. Not sure if im working yet. Ya know one of the things i do is in meditation is:
i sit and breath in through my nose saying in my mind HOLY SPIRIT and exhale through my mouth. Ya see every breath we take places oxygen in our lungs and that oxygen is transported to into our blood. And that blood carrys that oxygen into every cell in our body. And when we sit still and breath in the HOLY SPIRIT to enter with our breath the HOLY SPIRIT enters into our body and into our blood and into every cell in our body.
It is there that THE HOLY SPIRIT saturates every cell within our body. Every brain cell, every cell in our hear. From the tip of our toes to the tips of the hair on our head. We are saturated with THE HOLY SPIRIT.
as you said,
“construction mission”. it alters my DNA and constructs it with the HOLY SPIRIT.
its how 54 years old, i have perfect blood pressure 110/60, perfect cholesteral levels, heart rate at 60 bpm, how my testosterone levels remain at the level of a teen age athlete, how when i got a colonoscpy they didnt find a single pollop, my white blood cell count is perfect, how my lungs are perfectly pink (even tho i smoke) how the doctor looks at me and says wow! at age 54 you are as fit as a teen athlete.
its how woman half my age persue me a d desire me. its how everything always works out in my favor.
its how i intuitively know how to solve life problems that are baffeling to most people. its how i know things and have no idea how i know them.
because every molecule of my being is saturated with Gods HOLY SPIRIT.
My Body. is The Temple of The LORD of HOSTs as Enoch called HIM.
THE DUDE.
i have been doing that for over 20 years. several times a day.
That is something i do, you may find helpful.
:)
my dump truck broke down yesterday, blew oil all over and somehow got mixed in the colant and it took a big shit. and all the other truckers and operators were saying ohh shit, sorry that happened man! im siting there thinking okay cool. im supposed to sit here now. agleast it broke down in an easy spot to sit. not on the mercer street on ramp, blocking all access to I-5 from the needle. i get paid the same to sit there as i do to work. trucks break down. we run 105,500 lbs all day, 12 to 13 hours a day. every day. we run heavy and we run hard. so they break down sometimes.
everything happens for a reason. im right where im supposed to be all the time. all the time.
an hour after i sat there, the wind blew a burger king crown. it rolled as the wind blew it. over to my dump truck. i got out and picked it up put it in my cab. thought huh. okay cool. thanks for the crown.
when i got off work, i was super tired (15 hour day) and as i driving home i looked over at my new burger king crown, and thought, i will just stop and get a double bacon and cheese whoper. so i did. i stopped at burger king. went through the drive through, got my big double whopper and a dr pepper.
as i was leaving. the sign out front of the Burger King read, “You Rule!”
not sure what all that means. but its interesting.
none of that would have happend, if i didnt break down at the exact spot i did.
THE DUDE, ya know?
:)
Andy,
Thank you for the Whopper Wednesday story. Long live the King!
yo! i took this picture when i broke down after the crown rolled over to me. i was actually wearing it. you can see it in the shadow.
i took this picture to send to my boss to tell him. this truck is leaking like crazy. now its red coolent. 18 speeds manual dont have tranny fluid.
red coolent. red koolaide. hmmmm.
this morning when i was looking at it. i realized it looks like a fatal head wound to my shadow.
see for yourself.
https://x.com/ore_train_11/status/1841913508323328444?t=IwYVeomO7hTYsApT0Uss_Q&s=19
i didnt take the picture to make a consiouse point. it just happend that way.
only the light itself has no shadow. the death of the shadow means you are the light.
also i have seem “the shadow of death.” springs to the mind.
i shall fear no evil.
pretty trippy. im sure it means something. it was all tied to a chain of events that tool me to the whopper and the next sign read,
YOU RULE.
https://x.com/ore_train_11/status/1841985110037692928?t=Bog2X2na17FLNzsyE6RHuA&s=19
the chain goes, truck breaks down.
everyone feels bad for me and says im sorry.
i say, dont be sorry, no worries, all is well. everything happens for a reason. im always right where im supposed to be. im cool like fonzi. thumbs up Aaaaaaa.
the wind blows a BK Crown over. i think. okay cool. thanks! get out put it on.

see the death of my shadow.
lowboy shows up, we load up the broken dump truck. drive it to the yard.
after work. i get a HUGE Bacon and Cheese double Whopper.
round the bend the sign reads In all caps, YOU RULE.
Huh. okay cool. I RULE. Thanks!
This comment reminds me of why I’ll never understand women, and why they’ll never understand me.
Mutual admiration and respect seems like a more achievable goal.
There was an article on ZeroHedge that I cannot now find that suggested an Israeli counter attack on Iran. He suggested Israel demolish the Kharg Island oil terminal offshore Iran. Seems 83% of Iran’s revenue is from oil, and wiping out Kharg would stop that flow for a long, long time. No more money to buy/make war goods to export or use. Strategic choke point.
I would bet the GPS points on that Island have been loaded and locked into every missile available. It is prime real estate for carpet bombing.
Biden just issued a very stern public warning to Israel on their plans to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.
.
Wait! What? Did this degenerating potato just tell the entire world that Israel told him, they are about to strike Iran’s nuke facilities?
.
What a friggin’ imbecile ! I doubt that he realizes what he just did.
I sincerely doubt that Israel would ask for approval, or permission on anything they do regarding the safety and defense of their own country. He was told as a courtesy-to-allies., kind of diplomacy.
.
What a damn maroon. This guy is turning dangerous.
Tit 4Tat.
Iranians supposedly took out all 3 zio nuke areas including diamona /production, research, and weapon production areas.
Between the S400/500 triumphs and very trick EWS – zio’s will be challenged to get thru it all..
It’s the AZ Republican votes that could be tossed:
‘The group of 98,000 voters has more Republicans than Democrats or independents, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.
If they’re only permitted to vote in federal races, they’ll still be able to cast ballots in Arizona’s closely watched races for president and U.S. Senate, but not for the Legislature, ballot propositions, or county and local races.
What they’re saying: Arizona Republican Party chair Gina Swoboda told Axios the 98,000 voters should be allowed to cast full ballots because the change would be too close to the election.
She added there isn’t enough time for many voters to provide proof of citizenship’
https://www.axios.com/2024/09/17/arizona-voters-glitch-eligibility-mvd
I am sick of the “no time” excuse. Produce or sit out the vote.
It matters not which gang they claim allegiance to; providing proof of citizenship should be as simple as producing a valid US passport.
we have to produce citizenship here..
Although the refugees can get drivers licenses without proving anything at all…
The passport doesn’t have to be valid! An expired US passport is considered proof of citizenship as long as it’s real. US birth certificates, a REAL ID license, and many other documents qualify. Any adult citizen without proof of citizenship is so sloppy that they should probably not be qualified to vote anyway. I’m rather sloppy with paperwork compared to Ure, but I do keep all of my expired passports in secure locations! You can also get documents from the state dept. proving citizenship if all of your old proofs have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.
OK.., now I am taking this strike seriously
.
The unloading of hundreds of containers with imported coffee beans at the United States’ East Coast ports has stopped due to the strike of portworkers, aggravating the already historic low supply in the largest coffee-drinking nation.
The delays in delivery of imported coffee to U.S. roasters and coffee chains could further increase bean prices which hit multi-year highs last week due to limited supply.
– Interesting though – Coffee futures drop nearly three percent in trading today.
that makes me sad.. that says to me that the price of starbucks is going up in the near future.
My son in law mentioned he doesn’t know how that is going to affect anyone.. he thinks it is only one port..
Not a problem for me. Hilo Coffee Mill just a few miles up the road has fresh brewed local beans anytime. Starbucks? Bleagh!
I do not understand what Israel is waiting for.
They have to strike back., with overwhelming force.
If they let this slide., like they did the last time., they will become the target for anyone with a spare missile, or two.
.
I do not everything that is going on., but I do not understand their lackadaisical attitude and no military response.
Perhaps waiting for the anniversary of October 7?
To get to the DEEP underground facilities of Iran it reported can only be done by the US’s BIG bomb, which Israel doesn’t have, or nuclear weapons.
It is likely, based upon what they have said publicly Gallant and the head of the IDF are against the use of nuclear weapons. That is probably the hold up.
Not to change the subject; OK, maybe this is to change the subject. Have any of you frugalatarians tried the MagicJack Android app yet? It apparently requires a wifi connection to function, and messaging appears to be hit or miss, but it does give you access to the home VOIP line
For those who are uninitiated, the ‘Jack is an ultra-cheap VOIP phone service. Current price is $109 for 3 years after the sign-up fee. It is bare bones communication, but it does come with an auto-attendant feature which is the best anti-telemarketing feature ever.
Currently I pay for a 35 gig unlimited phone account ($25 and some change per month). It has some travel features, but overseas roaming phone home is metered and charged to a prepaid cash account. Supposedly, the ‘Jack app let’s you use a wifi connection to avoid roaming charges when calling from out of the way locations. I’m interested as to whether that really works.
I have used Magic Jack for my home phone for probably close to 20+ years – maybe 25 years, since shortly after it came out but I have always used the router device plug in. For me it has worked well and I have nothing but good things to say about it. (btw … most people don’t realize but the Magic Jack system supports regular FAX machines, most IP systems do NO without paying extra money).
The Magic Jack app does work from everything I have read but once you put it on your cell phone you can NEVER change the Magic Jack number it is locked to as long as you have that phone. I was interested in putting the app on my phone until I learned you can NOT change the Magic Jack number it is locked to (I run 5 different Magic Jack lines, not counting my Magic Jack Business Lines, which are a separate division and service, so wanted to be able to switch between them)
When traveling overseas the bigger issue may well be the data useage. Magic Jack is probably going to be sucking down some data all the time if you leave it turned on on your phone since it needs to talk to mother regularly to stay active (for a router connection I seem to recall that system uses about 1/2 gig per day which is why when I am traveling and hot spotting off the phone I don’t leave the Magic Jack device attached to my laptop when I am not actively using it)
re: “Zombieland”, 10/2/09
feat: Valdosta, Ga.
Folks,
The official White House schedule reads that President Biden will visit the Valdosta, Ga. area from 1530 to 1720 on Thursday afternoon. The city name apparently derives from Augustus, first Emperor of Rome and a great-nephew of Julius Caesar. More recently the post-apocalyptic movie “Zombieland” starring Woody Harrelson was filmed in the city.
