Vote, Riot, Regret – Fed Tomorrow

by

This is, of course, election day.  We’re still trying to sort out whether to vote, but the “Yes, let’s do this thing” is winning. For the moment.  But that doesn’t mean we are please with any of the candidates.

The motivator for us is the promise (by one) to put people we admire to work “fixing America.”  Elon Musk  cofounded PayPal, Starlink, Tesla, Space-X and…well, you get the picture: He’s an idea man.  We’re just guessing America could use a new national agenda (since abortion rights and war-starting are, um, how you say? Getting old after sixty years?

Sadly, Musk was not born in America – thus failing the “naturally born” test. Even more depressing is that the two on the ballot today have been engaged in a slugfest of “dueling character assassinations”.

Our point?  Simply that I don’t know one democrat who is voting for their candidate on the basis of accomplishment, skill, leadership, and innovation.  They are mainly voting because of hate of all things orange, and sleazy interpretations of facts.  The orange feller, on the other hand, hasn’t been highly specific – and has also been steered into the “anti-vote or you’ll get what you fear” (true, or not) line of marketing.

As several readers have attested in recent days, though, the real hero of this Election Cycle may be Joe Rogan.  The “un-appearance” of one candidate there ought to have been more than enough of a “competence clue” for most people to figure things out.  Or the machine’s “anointing” rather than a conventional convention process. Unsurprisingly, Joe Rogan gives backing to Donald Trump in US election.

Already now, the D.C. rumor circuit is that as soon as the winner of today’s mud wrestling is announced, Slow Joe is sure to go. He wants to resign before the U.S. does bunker-busting in Iran in our current “close approach” orbit to World War III. Pardon Hunter, exit stage left.

Raining like hell outside down here. Yet our local County still has a “Burn Ban” in effect. Which is a perfect metaphor for how government works, here lately.  The “We the People” want something done, it happens. But God help you once a government decree is issued.  You’ll pay hell trying to get it undone.  Why, even rising floodwaters seem unlikely to do it. Because Bureaucracy loves its Power such that burn bans even while the Ark was being floated are less fiction than fact.  Oh, and they’re not on the ballot, either.

From a distance (overseas) it’s too early to call: Election day kicks off in US as Harris, Trump tie in iconic midnight vote.  But that doesn’t mean the orange feller won’t claim victory before it’s actual.  Trump is widely expected to prematurely declare victory regardless of the vote count.

Our (sage or sanguine) advice is to treat the Election like we do the Super Bowl when it gets down to the final two minutes of the game.  Where a time warp occurs and you have time for a sandwich, beer, and go for a walk before the final play of the game.  While there may be an early call tonight, our fear is that law-fare will break out and a Supreme Court decision will be needed – next week? – to straighten out the mess.

In the meantime, there’s still no Big Shiny American Agenda for a New Way Forward. “Punctuated Equilibrium” for now.  You have time for breakfast.

Markets – Fed Fears

The banker outfit – misnamed as the Federal Reserve – will be meeting Wednesday with a rate announcement on Thursday.  For now, most of the media mavens aren’t drawing a link between the Fed and the Election, offering misdirection.  Federal Reserve set to cut rates again is OK, but references to a “hazy post-election” outlook are bothersome.

The way we figure it, if Harris wins, the Fed might not lower more – yet – in order to set up “friendly timing” for a Harris regime.  The idea is that any new president wants to get any economic slowdown out of the way in their first year of power in order to a) blame the predecessor and b) have time to fix things before the next showdown at the polls.  A Trump win might support a cut in order to push back an economic reckoning to late 2025 or 2026. Would do more damage that way, see it?

Markets Remain Skeptical

Early futures were (predictably) up because the real close Monday was down.  No one seems to know which way this is going to break.  Except, our charts reveal that a couple of key trend channels have been broken and in our view, a rerun of the 2018 Slaughter of the Elves over Christmas could be coming.

Three trend channels are visible here: The yellow trend, upper right, is already broken. So is the pink channel.  And since we’ve hit the “down button” expect that in short-order we will slam into the white trend channel bottom. Bounce a bit, and then down for Santa.  Now, look for the yellow arrow here and I will let you in on a secret:

Secret?  Yellow arrow? There’s a faint red trace here called the 85-day moving average.  And to our old eyes, looks like it may be rolling over.  This isn’t to say “it will!” but it could.  The 85-DMA of our Aggregate has – in the past, which is no predictor of future blah blah – been a reasonable place for the “slow money account” to position long or short by.

Worth a read: Intel on the outs: Intel Was Just Dropped From the Dow. History Says This Is What Will Happens Next. Spoiler: who knows?

As you can see, but super-especially if the Fed cuts Thursday, then a market decline to perhaps 4,000 on the S&P early in the new year would make sense. After the old lady (the cleaner) from the Black List cleans up all the elf mess from the holiday slaughter we can almost see coming…

Not sure how it all rolls out. China taking Taiwan in December and a terror attack in Phoenix late this are top modeling possibilities for now. China will want to cripple our chips before taking Taiwan thinking it will hold the US on a leash. Thinking like a 2,500 year-old country.

We will just have check-in after the Election results become clear. The “pre-spew” is all over the board, partisan, and as useful as lightning/static crashes when you’re trying to have a roundtable discussion on the winter ham bands.

Need a Statistical Fix?

Will some trade figures help? Gotcha!

The nation’s international trade deficit in goods and services increased to $84.4 billion in September from $70.8 billion in August (revised), as exports decreased and imports increased.

Tomorrow the Fed meeting starts. Tomorrow is a likely day off around here and productivity and the rate deally will be along Thursday with U.I. filing and all that…

Real News?

Want some blow?

Should past southwest of Nawlin’s by Sunday mid-day. We’re not holding our breath on the burn ban coming off, though. That would involve being able to forecast and since when…oh, forget it.  Our Houston Bureau reports:

“We’re getting torrential rain here as I type this. So far we have power, but for how long? CenterPoint is going to have a real mess on its hands today, especially if outages are widespread and roads are submerged due to flooding. Given that it’s election day, what’s “Plan B” and voters can’t cast their ballots because power is out, roads are flooded, etc.?

BTW, Rafael is now a TS – it will likely become a hurricane later today. There is still no definitive projected pathway once it enters the Gulf, but it appears for now TX is not in the crosshairs.”

Middle East war is ready to expand into Iran, as soon as the polls close – a little bonus from the War Party?  Lebanon Death Toll Surpasses 3,000 13 Months Into Israel-Hezbollah Conflict.  But the real deal is what are the B-52s and all the mini-AWACs doing over there?

One in-house theory: The U.S. might deliver the conventional bunker-busters on Iran rather than share the technology.  Nice way to roll into WW III, huh?  Local betting pool says – based on B-52 bombers arrive in Middle East, destroyer USS The Sullivans deploys after more US forces ordered to the region – odds are about 3:1 on a U.S. led raid (after air crews get some rest and un-lag a bit) before the end of the coming weekend.  Or when polls close for the War Party.

Meanwhile in the “soft war” on Russia: Virginia company, senior executives charged with exporting U.S. technology to Russia – UPI.com

One other “when the polls close”: We figure that Ukraine’s Zylensky will go “off-leash” and start hitting all kinds of soft-spots inside Russia.  Especially if it looks like the War Party will be “out” January 20th.  Pentagon weighs in on North Korean troop deployment to aid Russia against Ukraine | AP News.  Putin is playing us for fools (not that hard, is it?) by keeping the NorKs inside his borders so that if anyone uses  these troops as a pretext for heightening the dust-up, Putin/Medvedev can play the “an internal Russian affair and NOYFB.”

At the Ranch: A PKD-like Dream

PKD is, you ought to figure, Phillip K. Dick, who wrote MIT High Castle, the Adjustment Bureau and such.  And you already know I live two lives – one of them here in the waking-state on Earth and the other in occasional “blow-your-socks-off iMAX like dreams.

Fascinating concept came through from going off-rock overnight.

The character was a married man and he and his family had been forced into the waters of a large lake, perhaps 6-7 miles east of a big city.  There were guards everywhere around the shoreline.  And the people in the water knew they were all about to be sacrificed with a shockwave from a small nuclear device that was to be detonated under water.

So, this husband guy escapes and swims into the muddy brush along the shore and soon, even having lost his wallet and ID, is able to get a ride with a nice Black fellow in a green shirt, who gets him to the strange city with an hour to run before the planned mass/ritual killing at the lake-to-be-nuked underwater.

He then goes along through a series of big – mostly concrete and heavily industrial looking buildings, but he’s pretty sure he’ll be OK because of a slight hill between the (ritual sacrifice lake) and the (downtown along a river) city.

He goes through all kinds of service tunnels that attend a subway system and he’s trying to work his way north to another city 20-miles distant when the bright pink flash happens and went the nuke in the distance.

Grieving, he continues his movement north along rails, industrial looking buildings, but some with food and beverage and one was under condition and construction materials were coming down into a green dumpster.

And then? The dreamer (me) wakes up.

Back on Earth, in bed and wondering WTF was that ritual sacrifice part all about.  And this is where that voice who guides in my head explains a real jaw-dropper.

“You really still don’t get it? Off-world travel is not something the GATU (grand architect of the Universe) is going to let fall into the hand of only elites.  So we get set up “the worlds” of Ure school, so you can appreciate our egalitarian nature.”

“But what about the nuclear Death Scene and mass sacrifice?” I insisted

“Look around. You are on Earth. A school.  A life is like a clock-hour in her ed terms. And…oh, you’ll get to it…”

“Get to what?”

“Death is how we travel between worlds. But there are memory effects after every jump.”

  1. No need to bother with death Kemmosabe, just step Ure ass into portal.
    Big pyramid shaped mountain in Antarctica..underground entrance is nearby -the location where Buzz Aldran had his “evil experience” – not evil, just unusual reaction to the very strange, unique NRG being produced and transmitted into atmosphere at that site..strange brew indeed.
    Farsight.org and futureforecasting group, both have very similar “Viewing reports” on this location..VERY similar from different projects.
    None of the viewers bothered to go thru the thing, but a Man in military uni did come thru during one of viewing sessions.
    Only small issue with portal travel is the process of making an exact genetic copy and transmitting info to other side/portal, traveler experiences temporary Near Death when passing thru, as the Soul reattaches to newly created Copy of Ureself on otherside..Moon/Mars/Ceres..?

    • Wonder how close we are to the “Incredible Stretching Man” that Clif mentioned years ago. You know, the guy who standing on one side, peered in and reached for new technologies.

      Wonder if that’s OSHA approved. Hmmm

  2. George,

    RE: BUFFs (big ugly fat f**kers, or the more media friendly ‘fellows’) are a veritable multi-tool in the USAF inventory. It can fly nuke or conventional missions.

    From the AF Fact Sheet: “The B-52 can perform strategic attack, close-air support, air interdiction, offensive counter-air and maritime operations. In two hours, two B-52s can monitor 140,000 square miles (364,000 square kilometers) of ocean surface. It can deploy gravity bombs, cluster bombs, precision guided missiles (to include conventional air launched cruise missiles) and joint direct attack munitions.” It also has very long legs due to its air refueling capability, flying missions over 36 hours in length with augmented crews (the plane nornally carries five crew members (Five (aircraft commander, pilot, radar navigator, navigator and electronic warfare officer) but an augmented crew brings along extra pilots, navigators and EWO officers). See:

    • = WWD

      – Wounded Wobbling Duck.

      Nothing got through Iranian air defenses last week, NOTHING . Only spec op driven drones got anything done inside Tehran.
      If American and or israhelli Aircraft cant penetrate Iranian air defenses, the entire pairadime for US or israhelli kinetic military attack goes up the chimney.

      How slow can you go ?

      • Ahhh, but the JDAMs and precision cruise missiles carried on the B-52 can penetrate and avoid enemy air defenses- trust me on this one. The BUFF is essentially serving today as an airborne battleship. Its weapons are not just rocket powered warheads. They can autonomously fly terrain avoidance, fly low in any weather or at night, and a few can even jam enemy air defense gsystems. A B-52 might overfly Iraq or Afghanistan, but the bird would NEVER would be sent over Iran, North Korea, China or Russian occupied territories. Its crew would just “reach out and touch” someone, turn around and RTB.

    • I’m surprised that such a complex aircraft doesn’t require a copilot or flight engineer! Especially so since much of the tech is relatively old school without computer monitoring.

  3. lifting the burn ban, mailing out property tax statements…priorities seem to reside at the new aldi’s or the deer stands.

    • the kids and neighbors all have burn pits . the memories of leaves burning happy conversations and kids playing on the swing sets dogs barking and playing tug a war eith a stick..potato salad and hot dogs on the grill..

        • The vast wastelands of the….USA…..
          the community has to approve it.. I really like the one the kids put in across the street.. its in the ground.. nice concrete patio around it..

      • Used to have Creek running thru parents front yard. House situated between swanky private Girls school and private Catholic university – had lots of Runners/joggers/athletes running up and down the road all day long.
        I would collect all the Leaves and rake into big, long pile in the creek, add a lil accelerant and “whooosh” had me a real smoker going..with all the clouds/waves of smoke rolling across road/joggers..

        Yeah, I was that guy, for a while, the author of “How NOT to Win Friends and Influence”

        • Almost always have bon fire on 5th of November. Not this year, winds are too strong.
          “The fifth of November, since I can remember,
          Was Guy Faux, Poke him in the eye,
          Shove him up the chimney-pot, and there let him die.
          A stick and a stake, for King George’s sake,

      • My father had us rake leaves and burn them every fall. Twice he set the corn field behind the house on fire (and once a smoking brother set it off) resulting in 3 local fire companies having to put it out. The firemen yelled at my father every time they showed up, except for the time old wiring burned our house down.

        • we did the same thing it was a family ritual but we did the burning in the garden..before they banned it.. I would check on my parents every day ..dad had heart issues and mom blood pressure issues.. so one day I go to check on them.. in the leaves there’s a trail where they ran through the leaves towards the house.. both rakes tossed aside.. my fears all came to life..did dad have a heart attack.. I run up to the door..doors locked pounded and pounded nothing I called the neighbors nope they didn’t know anything.. I called the local hospital to see if anyone had bee admitted..an hour later dad and mom are back out raking.. I ask dad what in the hell happened I was scared to death . dad says dam son you sure know how to ruin a moment.. when your our age and the inclination hits you you take advantage of it …lol lol lol
          so I got a small red plastic rake and made a hanger.. if they were anxious to run off and have a little afternoon drlight.. hang the rake by the door I will know and not worry..
          the red rake.. we would roast ears of corn .. soak the corn then put pats of butter under the husks..salt pepper yumm..
          WI ter is double cocoa ..yumm..
          Hoosier Hill Farm Heavy Cream Powder, 1LB
          1 box instant powdered milk enough to make 8 quarts
          1 15-16 ounce container powdered coffee creamer about a cup and a half or one pound powdered cream
          1 2.2-pound box Nestle’s Nesquik
          1 pound powdered sugar
          now we will give this out for xmas along g with a package of Hershey kisses..
          To make hot cocoa, fill a mug 1/3 full with the mix and two Hershey kisses, add hot water, and stir. toss a couple marshmallows on top or add a peppermint stick..

      • Lady I used to work with in Wisconsin, her folks bought her an 80 acre farm. She only wanted the house, but the land came with it. She redecorated the house and outbuildings and made a deal with the neighbor farmer. He would plant 10 acres of sweet corn next to her house, and the rest was his lease to farm as he chose. So every autumn Sally would dig a firepit near the house and cover it with an old burned out bedspring. At corn harvest, the corn was piled there and she invited everyone she knew and their friends and family to the corn roast. BYOB and pot luck other eats was optional. Squirt bottles of water were provided to shoot down the burning husks of corn and steam them. Long tongs and rakes to roll the corn ears off the spring, and about several gallons of melted butter in a pot next to the fire. Pull back the husk on your corn for a handle and dip it in the butter and enjoy. What a pleasurable ‘pig fest’ it was!

        • (“Frank Giustra Gets Candid: Life Lessons on Success, Failure, and the Journey of Making it…
          https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hTW6eUsq2MQ “)

          I always wondered what success was.. when I was young I thought that I had the world by the tail.. only to be thrown under the bus by an employer..he took the money that the employees were paying into for health insurance and gambled it on stocks and precious metals.. A freak accident of a child stuck me with a half million in medical bills.. I couldn’t buy a roll of toilet paper on credit.. the farm crises and the dalkon shield kept the medical expenses coming..

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalkon_Shield

          life was hell on earth. at first I thought why me..then I found others in worse shape.. instead I had to learn things just to have any quality of life at all… each time I was saved at the very last moment by someone totally unknown.. except the last time..then it was someone I had not seen since he was a very little boy riding a tricycle..
          I swore I would never forget what I had been through and would help others in the same boat I had been in… god do I have some stories there..
          so I often wondered..what is success.. the can man..he lived in a dumpster behind the local television station. he was happy..lived what he thought was a successful life..had to rip his own teeth out because he couldn’t afford the basic office visit at a dentist office..and he felt rich because his collecting aluminum cans could take him to the most luxurious restaurant and get their 1 dollar breakfast..
          one guy he raised and trained race horses..he knew all of the Kentucky derby horses.. secretariat he said was one of the most living animals he had ever worked with..his wife got cancer.. she was a nurse they fired her to get her off the insurance then took everything he had..my dog mourned for him after he passed on..
          one was a very wealthy man the head engineer for big oil..A freak accident and a hurricane left him penniless and black called he couldn’t get a job cleaning dog kennels. he was homeless in his car the car broke down and he had a heart attack then got know us..he never could accept the things that happened to him..he didn’t understand..it isn’t what you have but what you do with what your given..

      • Thank you, LOOB for sharing your life experiences and your food recipes. One of these days, I would like to make George’s SST sandwiches. I always look forward to Thanksgiving Day. Blessings to all.

        • Your are welcome I try to do the right thing and share what I have learned. I do like to cook and make things I just seen one to.. two packages of instant sweet potatoes ..
          Half and half milk and water
          1/2 cup brown sugar mix it up..place butter pats across the top ..
          mini marshmallows on top of that and bake for a half hour until the marshmallows are golden on top..
          I haven’t tried it yet ..but I am going get some of the instant sweet potatoes this afternoon

  5. I’m predicting 47% to 53%.

    “We’re still trying to sort out whether to vote,”

    Same. Too funny.

    “the real hero”

    Don’t overlook all the ‘lesser of two evil’ Republicans flipping for Kam. Arnold Schwarzenegger flipped for Kam and he was a Republican darling. Recall people who warned he was a con back then were called “girly men” all the while it turns out the people who supported him were the suckers. Arnold @ 77 y/o was always a Democrat.

    Speaking of the two-minute warning politicians use the same plays over and over. Not to forget unless we vote in a so-called swing state there is no reason to vote. It’s the Werewolf game.

    • “Not to forget unless we vote in a so-called swing state there is no reason to vote.”

      Until the Dems find a way to do away with the Electoral College, throwing the race to the popular vote. So vote NOW and try to avoid losing the Electoral College. Besides which, if Trump wins the Electoral College and loses the popular vote, we will be engaged in “lawfare” for the next 4 years at least.

    • MANY Republican women are voting for Harris because of ABORTION. I know several, women who have NEVER voted for a Democrat in their life who are doing that.

      Nearly 100% Catholic Ireland voted 65% in favor of abortion … why would anybody think the public of majority Protestant United States would be different?

      Many women are PISSED that men are again trying to ram down their throats Religious Beliefs that THEY PERSONALLY do not believe in. (not much different from the Taliban in that regards with religious men trying to control women’s bodies)

      Sure the Anti-Abortion crowds screams loudly … screams, screams, screams … and many in the Republican party took that screaming by a MINORITY to indicate that virtually all the people in their party believed the same. Nope, many were just quiet, particularly the older females in the Party who are not of the rabble rouser mindset.

      I can’t tell you who will win … but I can tell you that if Trump loses the entire loss can be blamed upon a desertion of the party by life long Republican Women who are PISSED that men are trying to control their bodies. AGAIN!

      (fwiw the Abortion issue is NOT at the top of people’s list in my state this year unlike in many states because we already had a Constitutional Amendment vote on this issue a yaer ago. Abortion is now OK again in my state, a state that had very draconian laws passed by it’s mostly male Republican Legislature after Rowe was overturned … the vote to overturn the Legislature’s draconion Abortion laws wasn’t even close)

      • I truly hope you’re wrong. Women can and do abortions outside the medical system and have done so forever. Safe abortions can be done with available and inexpensive equipment. It’s not rocket surgery! It’s also none of the government’s business.

        IMHO, abortion is between a man, his woman, and God. Presumably God gets the final say, even if that comes at the end of this life. I don’t believe that abortion laws will do much except increase the number of unwanted kids destined to a life of poverty and misery. I’m of the opinion that men need available and safe, reliable contraception that we control, not the woman. A woman has veto power over a possible pregnancy due to female contraception, but men have no such option other than refusing sex, which is not a practical option. If both parties use reliable contraception, the odds of a pregnancy are near zero.

        There are more important things than abortion, such as nuclear genocide. It’s time to put things in perspective. I have zero faith that Cameltoe could face down an angry teenager, much less the leaders of other great nations.

      • Yeah, I’m an oldie but goodie, Republican woman, and I don’t get that anger.

        Abortion is still legal in America.

        Roe vs. Wade was Illegal and all those so smart women should respect that it was overturned and read up on their Constitution in case they do not understand why it was returned to the states.

        I want my bathrooms back, I want kids to not have to have their boobs or penises cut off before they are 26, and I want to know that my girls do not have to fight/compete against a man wearing a dress stating he’s a woman.

        Those are the rights that have been stripped from women, not abortion.

        Just think, IF those multitudes of women decided to make a world where abortion is NEVER necessary from an accident/unwanted baby/can’t afford it standpoint, how different their impetus and mindset and actions would be.

        But, no, they are going to fight for their daughter’s and granddaughter’s right to abort their babies at will and preferably with no term limits.

        And back in the hell hole called the USA, where over 60 million fetuses have been aborted, and now we have allowed in at least 80 million illegals, since NAFTA, and lost 300,000 children alone, in the last year, can you imagine how many have been ‘lost’ since NAFTA?

        Yeah, keep fighting for your right to abort your children, America, it doesn’t look good on you.

        BUT….Harris if she wins, she’s gonna pay ya $6,000 per child under one year old next year….

        Start screwing!!!

    • 270/538×100% = 50.1858736 %. Presidential votes are for electors, not the race horses.
      Once the electoral count tilts one way to 270, it’s over.

      Interesting, 270toWin shows the Trump picking up 8 electors overnight, with a 4 vote lead in the polls. Means nothing. Stay tuned.

    • Here’s one for the books..in California its neck and neck with early voters.. but for a while Trump was way on top..

    • “We’re still trying to sort out whether to vote,”
      I haven’t voted for decades. Especially out here in the deep blue islands! It does no good. We have monoParty rule here. We will send Dem electors regardless if the candidate is aware or even alive.

  6. Let me be the first, speaking as an observer. Vote policy, not person. Trump’s policies will pull America back from the precipice that you teeter on. They are common sense policies. The other side will destroy your once great country, or bring civil war. It terrifies me to watch, as we here in Canada will be next.

    • will his policies be in time… just to turn the tide on the compounding of the interest on our deficit would be a monumental achievement.. the compounding is gaining each day that passes..
      then rebuilding strategic reserves.. a huge endeavor in itself..
      or
      have we gone past the final tipping point already

      • If Trump wins, he certainly has been set up to fail.
        1. War
        2. War
        3. Economic collapse
        4. WEF scores big; you will own nothing and you will be happy.

        So, we shall see…who wants to save the country, and who still wants to transform the country.

        The House, and Senate will be a tell.

        The rest will be on Soros depending on his riotous payment plan.

        • With the Trump win, we get at least a short reprieve. Without it, we would go down the toilet sooner for sure. The next three months will be telling, since the current team pretty much has a free hand.

        • (“The House, and Senate will be a tell.
          The rest will be on Soros depending on his riotous payment plan.”)

          I believe we are beyond the tipping point..
          Congress… with the mountain of stuff going on..
          went home..actually will they even be back before xmas..or will it be Jan 6th..
          they spent billions trying g to destroy him.. and ten years of constant attacks.. even today the msn have been openly attacking him now..
          it will be another 4 years of nonstop 24 hour attacks..the satanic rituals and huge corruption baby rapper’s and slave traders .. its an ugly time trump is smart and will do what he can..the mountain is high and congress can’t seem to even wipe their own ass or tie a shoe..is it because they are that well insulated? from the real world or just that dam worthless..
          with all the damage that’s been done the last four years.. I don’t think that anything can be done that would be big enough to sway the spiralling effects of total collapse.
          I have seen the economic death spiral..on a drastically smaller scale but it was the seat spiral none the less..scarier than hell..total nightmare and trump has no one in congress willing to do anything at all..time will tell..he surprised me before I totally hope and pray he surprises me again..

    • If you listened to Clif High on BeyondMystic on Rumble, Canada is first to slide into a depression and collapse. I went searching for any evidence that and posted a YouTube report below. It’s crazy, but Clif appears to be right.

      Trudeau’s coalition government has the support of 30 percent of the population. Trudeau has enough political power to implement environmental regulations that are so brutal they shall permanently destroy the economy. The combination of existing and proposed legislation is so harsh it is unlikely Canada will survive economically.

      One thing about Clif is that he takes the view that Canada needs to get rid of King Charles III. I think it’s King Trudeau that Canada needs to vote out but his coalition keeps him in power.

      • Yes, but if you study Cayce, Nosty, or any other prognosticator from any era (Except John, who got his visions directly from God), they will have said that despite their visions, the future is somewhat fluid, and the events foretold can be altered or mitigated, and will not occur until an immutable anchor point is set.

        Clif’s biggest prognosticatory problem is the more people who become aware of his method (essentially Internet keyword frequency and syntax driven futuring analysis), the less often it will work and the less accurate its results. WebBot was scarily-accurate in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Then George and Clif did c2cAM. The dam burst and 9/11 happened and George Noory had them back on. And this time, 23 million listeners paid attention… Once History Channel did that show on futuring (in about 2003?), featuring a segment on the “Web-Bot Project,” Clif was done.

        He is still a valuable resource, but the popularity stuck a fork in Alta and seriously attenuated the ability for Clif’s bots to pull prescient data out of the ether.

        WRT Canada, they elected Pierre.

        A few cycles later, they elected his wife’s kid.

        Enough of them seem to like that type of leader that they can’t help themselves.

        If it weren’t Justin Castreaux, it would be another, regardless who wears the Crown.

        • I agree with you that Clif High is flawed and sometimes very wrong. He has the weirdest form of atheism I have ever heard of. He believes Jesus Christ is a space alien. Furthermore I certainly condemn his antisemitism. He is using his bots to scour the internet and is obviously picking up on the anti Israeli sentiment that is on the net. His inability to see that really devalues his credibility, especially in light of his views concerning the idea that Moses was interacting with space aliens.

          While he did predict a corona disease going back to 1998 he misinterpreted it as a sun disease which he thought was related to Solar flares or something similar. Later he did admit that he initially thought that this applied to Sun Microsystems suffering some sort of economic crisis.

          For these reasons I seek to independently verify any prediction that he makes. The news report that I linked to refers to Trudeau placing a production cap on Canadian oil production. The news report describes how it will destroy the Canadian economy.

    • LOOB

      As I sit here in a hospital room with my ailing wife and contemplate our future, your post is touching. You have contributed a lot here and to me personally through our online friendship initiated by George.

      There is an extraordinary group of interesting people on this site, unmatched on any other site, and I learn from most posters, including my fellow Canadians that have a front row seat to our global future playing out in your election today.

      • It’s very sad sitting in a hospital room contemplating the future…

        You reminded me of when my mother was in the hospital in critical condition after heart surgery, the amount of wires and tubes they had her connected to was a sight I can never forget.

        The doctor told me it doesn’t look good… but we are going to try something as a last measure, it’s a drug, something still in the experimental stage.

        And lo and behold, it worked! She made it.

    • God Bless you too, LOOB. It’s always a pleasure to read your perspective and try your tasty recipes. You’ve taught me quite a bit over the years. This page wouldn’t be right without ya.

      Lots a Love, Brother.

    • Comments in this thread really resonated with me, particularly this posting by LOOOTB. I was raised on a small mixed farm and enjoyed a free range childhood. Parents were Anabaptists (neo Amish, if you will) who practiced the guiding principles of natural law with particular emphasis on personal responsibility for us kids. Blessed (or cursed?) with an inveterate sense of curiosity – (There can be tigers in the grass!) Reining in one’s dogmatic, territorial left brain while disciplining the creative right brain is worth the effort, there’s a fine line between challenge and frustration. Accepted a job with IBM Canada shortly after HS (no college!) after meeting their entrance requirements. Dating myself here – the roll-out of System 360 was memorable exercise – IBM bet the farm to beat out the competition, neither the hardware or O/S was ready for prime time – The Mythical Man-Month book tells all. Final employment chapter was a 12 year stint with a local boutique investment firm as system admin. Not a job in the usual sense – more of a hobby for which I was paid. Will be forever grateful to George Ure for introducing me to Clif High of HPH – Best brain food on earth.

  8. I’ve tried to find the Trump Ad he used as “equal time” with Harris, where he mentions “Depression” and every video I do find is just a snippet, avoiding his remark of a Depression. – except over at Ole Zerohedge.

    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/nbc-airs-trump-message-after-harris-saturday-night-live-appearance

    After the Covid fiasco and the Biden/Harris dismantling of our economy and morals, (I could go all the way back to 911 but I won’t) I’m not sure Trump or anyone else can put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Gonna take a lot more than 4 years, IMHO. But any effort, would be appreciated.

    • And last night, CBS was advertising that Walz would appear on Colbert last night. No way to give Trump (or Vance) equal time on that one before the election.

  9. QUESTION: Marty, I have been using Socrates to bet on the elections. So far, so good. What do you expect between a Harris vs Trump victory?

    JF

    ANSWER: It shows that a Harris victory would result in virtually World War III very fast. Putin knows his adversaries, and to placate his own Neocons, he would probably launch an all-out war to eliminate Ukraine, which he has not done. His Neocons have criticized him that he should have invaded Ukraine as the USA did to Iraq, and the war would have been over in 6 weeks. They have been screaming this is a war with NATO from the start – not Ukraine. That means the destruction of Kiev. Our computer goes flat-line on Ukraine, which seems to suggest that they will be wiped off the face of the earth.

    • I wonder if that’s why chat gpt 4.5 gave me the answer WW3 beginning in November 2024…

      • LOOB – The big research AI’s (who are out there) monitor the web constantly. Does the Chat GPT version who dropped that date have a Big Brother looking over its chatter? Good question. I made a personal appeal to an online AI for the same date. It responded by dropping an article debunking that Alexa had predicted November 2024 a few years back. I was initially somewhat disappointed, but then I thought about it.

        • Lol..they must..when it first came out I asked it and it gave me that answer..
          it won’t do that now..
          siri and Alexa was giving vote Kammy messages and threatening if you voted trump around that time to.
          when the new versions come out I ask difficult not questions.. had Alexa and siri taking great deal of time . before it could answer..one time it took an hour and a half to answer.. then after it did I had someone ask the exact same question on the coast it took seconds and then gave the same answer it gave me..
          I did that just to see if it has hive technology.. my guess is yes..similar to the tesla its self learning..plugged into your phone or computer it listens to what your saying and will give you product suggestions even though you haven’t searched them..
          with access to the cloud and the light and dark sides of the web and access to your appliances accessible communication abilities..that to me is scary..
          and getting the cone of silence is not feasible..

    • The question I am curious about is.. will the bought and paid for three blind mice still keep their jobs?
      the Biden administration weaponized them against the citizens then the attempts against him all appeared to have ties back to them..congress didn’t do a thing ..
      they went home ..

  11. a. if voting changed anything, they wouldn’t let us do it, and
    b. if you vote, it only encourages them.

    • CM,

      #B – Voting endorses the system.

      Nothing is really new. Look at the pics of an old restaurant in the link below. Modern restaurants are setup the same way. Even the colors.

      So what other ruling system is there? This mob rule voting is the best rerun so far. I don’t see any alternatives. Not even A.I. A.I. will lead to a Jesus-like system Vs an Allah-like system Vs an anarchy system similar to what the Indians (in India) have….

      • God what I wouldn’t give to go on an archaeological dig.. archaeology has always fascinated me…
        I got in a discussion with a native American and the stories and legends that passed down .. wonderful things that we all can learn from..all of these should be taught along with every other nationalities hidden history that no one hears about..
        the basket I have had all my life is only one prime example..

        • LOOB; There are many archaeological societies you can join and they always need volunteers to go on digs. Check with your county and state.

          Many go out of state, too, to participate in digs.

  12. lol lol lol … just went to vote ….the place was packed…
    I walk up they ask for my ID and where I was from..
    this is where I said….

    I AM FROM AMERICA AM I STILL ELIGIBLE TO VOTE….

    the whole place erupted in hysterical laughter.. the woman says that depends can you drive.. and I said that’s totally dependent on who you ask..
    the place started to laugh once again .. she says yeah my kids are like that to..lol lol

  13. Folks,
    One of the fascinating events of this past weekend was explained to msm by Ukraine’s head of counter-disinformation operations, Andriy Kovalenko. Apparently a popular search engine with a mountain view had released sensitive data in its mapping app pointing out specific Ukraine military hardware locations. The material allegedly routed through their normal supplier who also serves Western Eyes. The problem could not be resolved being the weekend and had to wait until Monday. Mr. Kovalenko expressed frustration that the sensitive material is now showing up on Russian Telegram channels. Interestingly according to Wikipedia, the alleged company supplier of the map data was bought up last year by a Boston-headquartered global private equity firm.

    One would think the outcome shouldn’t be much different than a NFL ref throwing a pass interference flag as the two-minute warning drops. Pops goes the weasel, I guess.

  14. Your Ure-ness:

    It’s the epitome of free.dom you may choose. Choose.
    Note: your bitching ends when choice ends.
    It’s your free responsibility matey.

    Hopefully the hard.gets, the infrequent voter was there.
    If that’s who voted the last week it’s very good.
    I believe that to be the case …

    I handed off a dozen donuts to poll workers yesterday.
    They arrive earliest and leave latest. Well done.
    If only we could do math after.

    Mrs. E tutored me last go. Vote for policies not people.
    The girl was right / is right. Help steer the boat.
    Take the red pill Neo.

    Off to see if my VOTE FOR PEDRO sign survived.
    Back to your regular programming.
    Write when it’s over,

    Egor

      • Commonwealth propaganda suits you.
        Globalism is a Commonwealth sales pitch. Screw the monarchists and the leftist shill asses they rode into US politics on.

        • They did an amazing job cleaning up the websites
          with all the thousands of family videos and all the paedophile photos of him raping young girls..its amazing..
          the alleged allegations of the powerful rapper thing is really uncovering a lot in the state of cor.. I mean californication the land of the satanic worshipers… how anyone could buy another movie ticket or song is beyond me..
          I had read that he booted Epstein out of his hotel because he realized how disposable and horrific he was..the same with the rapper and his assets and businesses..
          now as all of it is coming to the surface and the huge list of who’s involved we are seeing those that sold their souls for fame and fortune its all coming out and it is truly shocking..the last days all shall be revealed..I am actually shocked that the heads of agencies haven’t started with the Russian fake news crap. when the pizza parlor thing came out..I initially thought oh that’s crap..but it didn’t take long to discover the deeper you went on those that were accused the uglier it got..photos that would give you nightmares ..it took two months to clear it up a they put one of the guys exposing them for being corrupt in prison. telling everyone heck she doesn’t even own a broom. closing down the videos and photos on their own sites..newspaper articles and investigative reports all vanished..that’s power..what they weren’t considering is he filmed everyone recorded every conversation.. my guess is he made and stashed copies..unlike the laptop and server or cell phones they can’t just destroy it and leave him as a sacrificial lamb..
          what they need to do is treat them the same way they would anyone else without that level of power..they thought they could easily take Trumps resources and properties leave him penniless..they threatened to take musks for helping trump..
          why not seize their assets that these above the law individuals have..take their power away and they are no longer a direct threat.planes mansions companies cash gold silver..they sold their souls for the Money and status.. the devil I am sure never intended for them to keep it.
          will it all vanish probably they worked overtime covering the other stuff over.. I am pretty sure ..the networks haven’t stopped bitching about trumps win..

  17. “Election Night” around here….,
    Me: “So, it’s not really an ‘Election Party’.., just a ‘Party’..? ”
    The Mrs: “Right. No one cares who wins this absurdity.., well, except J_____. She was cheering for Harris.”
    Me: “Was..??”
    The Mrs: ” She was., she thought it would be great to have a female President.., until I told her that Harris plans on the largest tax hikes in the history of the country. Then she wasn’t so sure.”
    Me: “When does this extravaganza begin?”
    The Mrs: “Six.., be home around midnight.”
    Me: “I’ll stay home and make that venison shepherd’s pie., maybe start that new book.”
    The Mrs: “You, especially, were not invited. By unanimous vote.”
    Me: “I’m not sure – but I think I was just insulted.”
    The Mrs: “Probably.”
