World War 1 Replay – Depression Pending

by

It’s a very Big Deal.  With the attempted assassination on the Slovakian prime minister, we think there’s a case to be made that the world has slipped deeper into a WW-1 Replay, a Weimar-like Inflation, and an economic Depression, all rolled into a new and improved version of Humans Are Stupid, Gold Edition.

Let’s see what foreshadows of the future are telling us about it’s coming arrival.

First, to the condition of the shooting victim, Robert Fico, it’s still touch-and-go: Slovakia prime minster’s condition stabilized after shooting, deputy says.

The problem with the shooting is that it increases the odds of a WW-1 era event-cluster.  The highlights of which included a pandemic (Spanish Flu), trench warfare, the U.S. getting directly involved in the European ground war long-after the assassination of archduke Ferdinand June 28, 1914.

The Library of Congress Highlights

Those of us who seriously study “the Future” have generally learned that looking back – to look ahead – is sometimes a wise thing.  Take, for example, how World War 1 fired up.  We will cite the Library of Congress here.

  • June 28, 1914 – the assassination of the Archduke. He was the head of Austria – which is important to note in passing.
  • In the aftermath, it came to be known that the perp was The perpetrator was 19-year-old Gavrilo Princip, a member of Young Bosnia and one of a group of assassins organized and armed by the Black Hand.
  • The Black Hand was a Serbian outfit. And the Wiki on it explains that “The society formed to unite all of the territories with a South Slavic majority that were not then ruled by either Serbia or Montenegro. It took inspiration primarily from the unification of Italy in 1859–1870, but also from the unification of Germany in 1871.”  Bet you can see where this leads? Shade of Crimea?
  • July 28, 1914 – exactly a month later – Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia, beginning World War I.
  • Three weeks later, August 2 through 7 of 1914, the shit hit the proverbial fan.  As “Germany invades Luxembourg and Belgium. France invaded Alsace. British forces arrive in France. Nations allied against Germany were eventually to include Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Rhodesia, Romania, Greece, France, Belgium, United States, Canada, Serbia, India, Portugal, Montenegro, and Poland.

If you have been following the (brilliant) work of G.A. Stewart on The Age of Desolation website, you hopefully saw his latest post about “The Butcher King of England” Because as the modern analog to the events of 100-years ago roll out, we not only see how everyone got dragged into the earlier conflict, but we can see how the same “power players” (England, Germany, Russia, and eastern Europe) all got wrapped around the axle.

The key date from these opening salvoes of WW-1 came the following week. When Austria-Hungary (still pissed about the assassination) invaded Russia.

Close-In Modern Analog

Although expected to live now, the attempt in modern times on the leader of Slovakia may set up a similar invasion effort.  Except it would be an attack on Russia by NATO.  Recall that Slovakia became a member of NATO on 29 March 2004 and of the European Union on 1 May 2004.

In our puzzle-piece fitment then, we would expect Slovakia-NATO to go after the source of the shooting.  Which brings us to the modern-day perp:

“Slovakian media has identified the shooter as 71-year-old Juraj Cintula, a self-described writer who previously worked as a security guard and is allegedly linked to pro-Russian group Slovaki branci.”

Or, is he just a patsy?

Ian Miles Cheong on X: “You don’t hate journalists enough. Sky News justifies the shooting of Slovakian PM Robert Fico by calling it a “very unhappy” country that’s headed towards a “more authoritarian future.” In other words, they’re happy he was shot because Fico is a populist, not a globalist. https://t.co/KCTvama4cR” / X (twitter.com)

Now, we know that NATO is itching for a fight – and we would not be surprised to see the alphabet folks behind the curtain somewhere, because there’s an election coming to America this fall and someone in an Oval needs a high horse to get on. (Or a cause to put the election on hold which wasn’t done even in WW2 – but you know how people in power love their powers…)

The only thing not certain is the timing.  Estimates only, because while positions and players may be similar, timing will vary.

From the shooting date, we could expect a major NATO backed involvement in support of Ukraine to take place inside a month, call it.  Before June 15th.  Strike while the pretext is hot?  So, it would fit (in coming weeks) if we find this “writer” figure had times to either Ukraine movements or some link to non-Russians in the Crimea.  Open to the fine print being off there, however.

On the other hand, did you see where U.S. military official ADMITS British commandos are operating covertly in Ukraine?

Three weeks to a month later, we would then see the fighting carried across the Russian frontier. Middle of July? That’s when Nostradamus King of Terror in July could slide in.  (Watch Stu’s columns for fitment details.)

Let’s go back into the Library of Congress again and see what happens next if we’re on the Replay Road..

History Ahead?

September 9, 1914 – call it three months from the Archduke shooting – Allied forces halt German advance into France during First Battle of the Marne.

Since history always “goes in the blender” in order not to be too easily discerned, we figure that Russia will be cast in the German role in modern times.

Mindful of this, three months from now – middle of August? – we could then see a real pitched (conventional) battle along the Ukraine front spearheaded by Slovakia (a riff being the modern assassination attempt), with the modern Germany being an ally (in NATO) [this is a “historical blender effect”] and all the while life in America rolls along just as it did in WW-1’s early going.

Market Impacts?

This is really interesting, too.  The Archduke was killed on a Sunday, so the U.S. Dow wasn’t available until Monday June 29,1914.  The close that day?  Our records (which may not be precise) point to 58.6052.

When the warring ramped up a month later, the Dow was still holding 55.88 on July 28, 1914, so pretty steady.  4.6 percent declines happen.

On the other hand, the Dow stocks of America were not a bad place to be with Europe on fire.  In fact, when we entered WW-1 on April 6, 1917 (a Sunday) the Dow closed the following day at 93.1,

It is possible the U.S. market could have a similar rally prior to engaging directly with Russia (which is reprising Germany’s role of WW1, remember)?

Hard telling. But in a perfect replay, the S&P would hit 8,478 before nukes flash.

Circling Back to Stu’s Work

We have to then consider how long it took Germany (in WW1) to strike at England.  Because we expect Russia is still fuming about the Brits role in taking out the Nordstream gas pipeline(s).

In WW-1, February 18th of 1915 Germany begins naval blockade of Great Britain.  Obviously, in this spin of the historical battle, Russia may simply use one of its nuclear torpedoes; that’s a leading theory in war, conspiracy, and futuring hangouts.

Two points to be made here:  Russia may not have the nearly 8-months of patience that Germany had in WW-1.

Driving their (seething anger level) animosity is the British backing of Ukraine and the West’s general disinterest in allowing Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine to join what amount to historical countrymen.  In fact, British (and American) arms sales might halve the time to attack on England which would set up on this fall.

You have only to study the other moving pieces in addition to the article “The Butcher King of England”

This is all incredibly speculative, but nevertheless, in the land of the blind, a one-eyed man seems omnipotent.

The timelines run at different speeds, of course, but this is where the spiral calendar work of Chris Carolan is so valuable. His 1996 book “The Spiral Calendar and Its Effect on Financial Markets and Human Events” is both speculative about timing, but he does teach spiral calendar a good bit, and we don’t make it past this year whole.

Final Note – Foreign Inflation Effects

As long as I hauled out my historical data sets, let’s see if the hyperinflation in Germany (post WW1) rippled to America, shall we?

Going from about March of 1921 to the end of 1923, the German Mark went from 10 to 1-trillion.  The classical hyperinflation such as Zimbabwe went through.

The U.S. Dow from March of 1921 at 74.71 to 95.52 on the final trading session of 1923. While that was a damn good gain, it was actually even better because the Fed data implies a five percent net deflation in that period, which boosted the purchasing power of a 28.37 percent gain and additional five percent on currency purchasing power increasing.

Good things happen, you see, when the victors get their spoils.

Key outlook: NATO forces into Ukraine in the next 30-60 days and googles on before summer ends. Timing to be driven by claims of Russian involvement in events in Eastern Europe.

Daily Data Dump

Let’s line ’em up.  Starting with Housing Starts.

Building Permits
Privately?owned housing units authorized by building permits in April were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,440,000. This is 3.0 percent below the revised March rate of 1,485,000 and is 2.0 percent below the April 2023 rate of 1,470,000.
Housing Starts
Privately?owned housing starts in April were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,360,000. This is 5.7 percent (±11.0 percent)* above the revised March estimate of 1,287,000, but is 0.6 percent (±12.3 percent)* below the April 2023 rate of 1,368,000. Single?family housing starts in April were at a rate of 1,031,000; this is 0.4 percent (±9.5
percent)* below the revised March figure of 1,035,000.

Bottom line? People are being priced – and interest-rated – out of new homes.

From there, we’re off to,,,

Import and Export Prices…

Weaker dollar – initially good for markets – is turning to bite us on the butt.

U.S. imports increased 0.9 percent in April, after advancing 0.6 percent in March, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Higher fuel and nonfuel import prices contributed to the overall rise. Prices for U.S. exports increased 0.5 percent in April following a 0.1-percent advance the previous month.

Imports

The price index for U.S. imports advanced 0.9 percent in April, the largest 1-month increase since the index rose 2.9 percent in March 2022. Prices for U.S. imports last declined on a monthly basis in December 2023. Import prices advanced 1.1 percent over the past 12 months, the largest over-the-year increase since December 2022.

Exports

U.S. export prices rose 0.5 percent in April following a 0.1-percent advance in March.

And no mid-month is complete without the…

Philly Fed outlook:

“The diffusion index for current general activity remained positive but declined 11 points to 4.5 in May, mostly undoing its increase from last month (see Chart). More than 29 percent of the firms reported increases in general activity this month (down from 38 percent last month), while 25 percent reported decreases (up from 22 percent); 46 percent reported no change (up from 40 percent). The index for new orders declined from 12.2 to -7.9, its first negative reading since February, and the shipments index fell from 19.1 to -1.2, its first negative reading since January.”

We are still shocked and appalled at the lack of thunder from the sucky Retail Sales figures Wednesday showing no growth in sales.  Maybe not everyone can read these days.

Around the Ranch: Statistical Bullshit Outed

Don’t mean to pick on Newsweek here, but when you have an MBA and you’re an old man, sometimes it’s a personal “Call of Duty” to point out misleading (so-called) “news” stories.

Newsweek triggered me with their statistical insufficiency in the story States With the Most Homeless People | Best States | U.S. News (usnews.com)

This (sadly) is typical incomplete reporting that’s all over the web in general.  Because (if you are too busy with real life to consider such matters) the population of all states is different. Such that if homeless is your metric, for deciding where to live for example, then per capita is the right measuring stick. Not a simplistic tent-check.

See, the order of rank (high to low) in the article was California, New York, Florida, Washington, Texas, Oregon, Massachusetts, Colorado, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.   That’s true, but only on the most superficial nose-count basis. Two of the top 5 were red states.  But that’s not reality. Grab that data shovel and follow me.

When you are Truth-seeking, you take a claim like this and hold it up to the light.  Which we did by plugging in state populations to get an approximate per capita number which is a hell of a lot more pertinent here in Reality.

Guess which party panders to homeless most?  Colors have been added as  prompts.

We propose to generalize from this data that homelessness is mainly a Blue States issue Thanks Newsweek for the dataset

It doesn’t appear the Newsweek story was intended as a cover-up of liberal support for homelessness. However, libs appear to be enablers, not fixers. On a percentage – per capita basis, Florida’s homeless problem is one third that of New York, Oregon, or California.

Put another way, in New York, one person out of 196 is homeless.  In Florida, one person out of 699 and in Texas it’s like one person in 1063.

What the libs don’t realize is that this leads to an effect we call “tax compression.”  Because the (non-homeless) have to pay more in NY, CA, etc. to pay the expenses of non-workers. If I were consulting a drug cartel (I don’t, of course) I would look at the homeless market and focus on the blue states. Not enough homeless camps in Texas, yet. but they cartels are working on that – especially around Houston. Homeless can vote often, too, with very little incentivizing.

As I point out in one of my books (on the Peoplenomics side) we have a massive economic issue coming towards us that the greenhuggers haven’t talked about: Namely the matter of planned obsolescence which collides in the future with the evolving notions of Capitalism.

You simply can’t have it both ways: Green or Hyper consumption.  Gotta pick ONE. Poor quality goods that don’t last is an anti-Green as you can get. Said the guy living in a 35-year old mobile home with 40 solar panels.  Voluntary down-scaling is the Future.  And someone has to go first.,

The bottom line is you can’t have a growth economy and keep making things that wear out.  But when you make long-term lifecycle quality goods, you have to do something with the leftover people resources  who used to be employed making *crap quality” excess goods for needless consumption, except that was a dandy scam bringing financialization to the Ownership class. Who then buy our freedom (and country) out from under us. See, they can pay the party that wants to stuff ballot boxes…and the circularity is complete.

The Left has embraced the homeless (they get the victim angle, for sure). But, they haven’t addressed this looming robotics meets AI economic nightmare which is how the numbers blow up on the way to that kind of world. Homelessness is just a breeze before the storm of upheaval. If you saw the future like we do, you’d be hiding out in the woods and getting as self-sufficient as you could, too – instantly.

The proposition in my book (The 100-Year Toaster) is the old system is, as my friend Kit Webster put it, is past its “Sell-By Date.”  We need a whole rethink of the planet.  But not by greedsters like the WEF or the Davosians, though.  They have only taken the problem as far as a power grab and have failed to present a viable alternative structural framework for the thousand years of peace on Earth. We get one more war, first, looks like.

In that wake of that, Muslims are right – get rid of interest.  Take money away from the Bankster class and return to “hard money” as the Constitution demands. Limit consumer debt to a small fraction of personal income. Grow some food at home, it’s OK to drive a 20-year-old car, too.  Our old Lexus turns 20 this fall.

Interest – rent on money – is the glue that makes banksters rich. Financialization resulting are great – and look at Ukraine to see how they support the War model.  Haven’t we learned anything?

Any touted “replacement” will be less honest than even the New Deal in the previous Depression. WEF’ers with interest-dependent financializations remaining at just shills of the rich; they are stooges of Davosians.

    As we march forward.. they come together..Ai when asked said November.. I wonder if the reason the computer predicted November is its just after the election.. Did Ai.. examine all that is going on on the internet.. and determined that Biden and company would take the election! and use that as the beginning of the WW3??
    Ai can see both sides of this coin.. the computer has access to all information both the dark side and the light side…depending on how powerful the master computer is in Ai would give indication on how fast it can do a search on the subject throughout all information.. Native american tribes are busy getting the reservations set up to be power independent.. their legends talk about how the native american tribes will succeed..
    while the rest of the country is going to be affected they are trying to make it so the affects of what happens doesn’t affect them..

  5. If we are going to put on the prophet’s had, then I believe Putin and Xi are definitely an alliance to be reckoned with. But neither wants to rule over bombed-out radioactive wastelands. The West’s nuke retaliatory capability is too survivable and responsive for either to expect victory from a surprise nuke attack. They each will almost surely follow the templates established by Stalin and Mao, surrounding and absorbing neighboring territories while supporting global armed rebellions far from their territories in order to distract America and her allies and dilute our responses. And let’s not forget about Russia and China each funding leftist protestors, sympathetic universities and the First Amendment protected MSM in order to distract American citizens from their combined global machinations. Right now, the deck appears heavily stacked. We are hardly a ‘United’ States. Divided we will fall! Putin and Xi are counting on it.

    • I myself agree with you but not entirely – I believe the bulk of the funding is coming from our own 3 letter agencys

    • Exactly what I was thinking.. I believe the native American tribes are thinking the same way to..five EMPs and it takes out the things we take for vranted. they got the administration to allow in illegals..even paying their support.
      nature would take out TBE vast majority of the people.can you see major cities with millions of residents where the terrorist activities of BLM and Antifa dismantled the only security the people had..would panic.. concrete jungles.. the administration used all but a couple weeks of strategic reserves..if they did send in a Trojan horse army..we are in serious trouble.. and all it took was a few people for sex some really good drugs and money under the table.

    • (“I believe Putin and Xi are definitely an alliance to be reckoned with.”)

      by themselves yes…
      now……add all the countries that we have pissed off that they signed agreements with.. we march in destroy their country for whatever is wanted.. then we take off..

      one peak at lybia Throughout Gaddafi’s tenure, ambitious social programs were launched in the areas of education, health, housing, public works and subsidies for electricity and basic foodstuffs. These policies led to a substantial improvement in the living conditions of Libyans, from being one of the poorest countries in Africa in 1969 to being the continent’s leader in its Human Development Index in 2011.
      after we took him out.. Nine years after the military intervention, led by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to overthrow Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi, Libya remains trapped in a spiral of violence involving armed groups, sectarian, ethnic groups and external interference that have led the country into absolute chaos.
      the people are in a dire state of poverty and malnutrition their once great healthcare system is now just a shell of what it was.. the millions of ounces of gold is nowhere to be found..
      that’s how we leave the countries we march through.
      China and Russia has been quick to come into the countries we have helped.. and gotten treaties and alliances with.
      even countries we feel are our allies..

      we have one of the worst healthcare systems our grid is vulnerable for collapse.. our water and gas lines are on the verge of collapse.. our economic outlook poor.. and now the illegal refugee population has now grown so much that it dwarfs the African American and Latin population.

      See Mia Khalifa, not only a Cutie on Duty, she also makes perfect Roti.

      • I think I have a plan.. it makes home made lefsa…
        Norwegian Lefse

        Ingredients
        10 pounds potatoes, peeled

        ½ cup butter

        ? cup heavy cream

        1 tablespoon salt

        1 tablespoon white sugar

        2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

        Directions
        Gather all ingredients.

        Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes; drain.

        Run hot potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Beat butter, cream, salt, and sugar into riced potatoes. Let cool to room temperature.

        Stir flour into potato mixture to form a soft dough. Pull off pieces of dough and form into walnut-sized balls.

        Lightly flour a clean cloth and roll out lefse balls to 1/8-inch thick.

        Heat a griddle over high heat.

        Cook lefse on the hot griddle until brown blisters form, about 1 minute per side. Place cooked lefse on a damp towel to cool slightly. Repeat with remaining dough, stacking them on top of each other as they’re cooked; cover until ready to serve.

        let’s a is a time consuming adventure.. so I buy it rather than make it..

      • I have a 2012 Camry with over 282,000 miles on it.

        Back there around 250,000 miles the dealer asked me if I was going for 1,000,000 miles and at that point I decided to keep the car and ride it ’till it dies on the side of the road.

        The only out of norm repair was replacing the alternator which I did myself. The part cost was about $200.00. That was at around 265,000 miles so not sure if it’s an out of norm repair. When the alternator failed I could still drive the car for another 300 miles so no need for a tow or anything.

        The thing that sucks about the new 2025 Camry is Toyota went hybrid only so I may end-up with a RAV4. One thing I don’t like about new cars is the safety features can’t be permanently disabled.

    A “World War” lasting twenty – seven – years !? Is that even possible? There won’t be a blade of grass – much less a human left alive !
    .
    …., damn !

    • Stu or JC can correct me if I am misremembering, but in Stu’s timeline, WWIII started in 2011 with the overthrow and murder of Gaddafi in Libya. Therefore, the 27 year war runs through 2038 or so. We are approaching the midpoint. Different prognosticators have come up with a lot of takes on what world population will look like at the end of that predicted period, but your version sounds like the low end of the range, down there with Cormac McCarthy (“The Road”). I’m thinking the trailer and post-grid solar sounds about as optimistic as any version I have heard to date. That would, relatively speaking, make Ure an optimistic and yourself a pessimist. Air Force tech vs point end of the spear in the formative years might expIain that division of opinion. I believe Stu’s version has the spike in depopulation starting with a demented national leader provoking a population reducing exchange of some sort.
      For my own part, I find all this so grim that I try to stay on the fence. I respect Stu’s analysis and his determination, and a fervently hope he proves to be as wrong as wrong can be (as I believe he does). On the other hand, I’m not betting against him, and I stay ready to roll, even though I have been in this location full time for more than a dozen years. I have been threatening to clean out and reorganize my cargo trailer, and I think I need to stop over-analyzing and start working on it, for some reason I can’t put my finger on. Kind of like having a sudden impulse to load the shopping cart with TP.

      • That surprises me.. solar would save the grid.. yet those in power are reluctant to make the changes because of the business model.
        yet cash is king..what happens when our currency resembles the Weimar dollar or Zimbabwe’s..

      • What’s really shocking..is all the work to discredit the USA weaken the infrastructure weaken the economy ..
        weaken our military use up the strategic reserves for a few dollars ( that won’t be worth anything) Opened the borders to millions of illegals of military age.. sent out army navy marines and air force everywhere…
        SO……
        what happens if there was a Trojan horse army ushered in during the dark of night and the light of day.
        given protection by our administration..just for a few trinkets..
        have they any idea what happens to politicians after a country is taken over…its Not very pretty
        or do they think that if there is an army brought in by the administration that if they do take the country..that they would be treated better than we treated their politicians..

      It’s like looking at one puzzle piece while ignoring the other 1,321 pieces.

      Here’s the way it works:

      Nostradamus Quatrain I-49
      Very much before such intrigues
      Those of the Orient [Russia/China] by virtue of the Moon [Islamic Army]
      The year one thousand seven hundred [1700 -2011] prepares the great to be marched away
      Nearly subjugating a corner of Aquilon [NATO].

      This is the NATO attack on Libya in 2011. This is the beginning of World War III according to Nostradamus.

      Nostradamus Quatrain III-77
      The third climate comprising Aries [Mars/World War III]
      The year one thousand seven hundred and twenty-seven [1727 – 2038] in October,
      The King of Persia (Iran) captured by the Egyptians:
      Conflict, death, loss: to the cross great shame.

      This is the end of World War III according to Nostradamus.

      “The third climate comprising Aries” is World War III. Aries is the Greek god of war. It will end in 2038.

      2038-2011= 27 years.

      I would throw in Sixain XXVIII and include the NATO takeover of Ukraine in 2014.

      Nostradamus Sixain XXVIII (24)
      The year one thousand six hundred and nine [1609-2014] or fourteen [1614-2019],
      The old Charon will make Easter in Lent,
      Six hundred and six [1606-2011], in writing he will place it
      The Physician, by all this is astonished,
      At the same time summoned in person
      But for certain one of them will appear.

      In my work, I show how all of these dates align across multiple Nostradamus’ platforms like the Quatrains, Presages, and Sixains.

      If you were in Libya in 2011, when NATO attacked, you would understand that is when World War III started.

      It is all a matter of perspective.

      World War III has been rolling around the world for 13 years now. First Libya, then Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, now Israel, and soon onto Western Europe and the good ole USA.

      • Thanks for the answer
        I do not piece-meal your writings – too complex for that.
        .
        I guess my biggest stumbling block is my own interpretation / definition of World War.
        – Which I do not see at the moment. Yes, there have been small wars. Yes, there is currently Russia – Ukraine [NATO].., which is, in a way – a world war., considering all the backroom players involved.
        However., I do not see an all out world war going on. An all-out crumbling and dismantling of societies and civilization in general.., yes.
        My Dad fought in WWll – and that is my view., my understanding of a world war. What I see going on now is the prelude., the pieces coming together just ‘before’ a world war.
        Which, as I said., is ‘my’ stumbling block – to the current interpretation – that we are already in a world war.

        • (“Which I do not see at the moment. lYes, there have been small wars. Yes, there is currently Russia – Ukraine [NATO]..,”)

          what I see… yes there have been many small wars..or police actions.. all in countries that those controllers of government wanted specific resources to have and hold..
          lllo
          https://nationalinterest.org/feature/the-role-natural-resource-wealth-armed-conflicts-12195

          in turn we left the countries in worse shape than it was. Libya is one prime example..
          even though most of us could see the manipulation of government.. we marched out and they marched in..signing military agreements. our vanity and greed was all they needed.
          Hunter puts it in perspective..

          https://youtu.be/OfGdoDQsqR0?si=n8nTTmh0KydYYvc-

          to sell the ear and compliance of the head offices of the government.. what did they buy exactly to a man that was considered dumber than their pet dogs..

          I personally didn’t notice until the year they showed a show of ability..they landed a top secret drone in Iran by taking over the controls and landing it.
          China refused to offload a container ship until they got gold backed currency.. shortly afterwards they started buying American industries.. sold out the ports to a company building the club-k defense systems .. it gets stranger to..
          the same year Rand Paul was concerned over the flawed guidance chips and russia selling a space missile launch platform to north Korea
          and everyone’s cell phone camera and microphone was turned on including baby monitors.. it totally appears as they were positioning .. the usa had the strongest military it took getting us to use up our strategic reserves getting our military involved in battles from multiple areas.
          then to gain entrance to the USA beyond the borders.. either way we move they have it covered..all it took was a few coins s, sexual partners of every age.. ( they filmed the deviant lifestyle excursions of them while staying in their countries)
          the best we can expect at this point is the worst depression in history and the demise of the dollar globally.
          its such a mess and it was all up front.. we spend hundreds of billions on the pawn.. now we are committed to either see it to completion or allow a new chairman of the board to take the UK and USA’s place as leader..

          when Cuba asked for our help with of I’d we flipped them the finger allowing China to rush in offer help and gain a warm water port just off the coast of the usa.
          the war has been here mostly in positioning while we twiddle our thumbs ..it was in the business model. I truly don’t believe they seen the advantages of the business model until the NAFTA treaty and the rush to send jobs outside the usa..as soon as that took place and the dumbing down of the people.
          they sold out for a stupid number..
          Is the mark of the beast the push for money?

    • G.A. STEWART: This Quatrain is also part of The Ukraine War Triplicate Series that includes a Nuclear War started by a Senile Leader. I think that Senile Joe Biden gave us the date that it all goes down. Today’s big announcement of the date of The Trump-Biden Debate, June 27th, 2024, is part of the secret message being delivered with the unveiling of this King Charles portrait.

      This is my examination. I had to check for myself and I have recreated what I have seen circulating across the Alternative Media. It is true. There are images formed even with the picture upside down.

      Readers will discover how I reached that conclusion in my Postscript.

  11. Just go to the store and buy some flour tortillas. You are an incurable kitchen gadget slut, you know. Perhaps there is a 12-step program for you?

    • Lol lol lol yes I am.. I do love my kitchen gadgets..everyone has one thing that trips their triggers mine happens to be food preparation gadgets..
      I couldn’t see spending a thousand dollars for an all in one taco shell maker..I have a small six inch but did like the idea of ten inch..
      https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Y93SY5D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
      that’s the one I settled on..
      what I’ll do is make some lefsa for the wife..Once I get a batch of lefsa made it will be accepted as a vital piece of kitchen gear.. nothing soothes the soul of an upset woman than warm lefsa buttered with cinnamon sugar on it..

  12. “(Remind me not to get up at 2 AM and start writing tomorrow, would you?)”

    George, you could re-do the same BRILLIANT column of yours day after day (and it will not get the desired respect!). ;-(( Earth has been unmanageably overpopulated, and only the ‘Supreme Creator’ would have an answer to it.

  13. My “Carnac The Magnificent” – the all knowing & all wise, amalgamated, composite, aggregated and highly refined index – is in record high territory., and every one of the indicators are pointing higher.
    .
    The Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange [ TASE.TA] – largest stock exchange in Israel closed yesterday at 2,551. That is up roughly 500 points [ 2,010 at the declaration.] since Israel declared war on Hamas and started the invasion of Gaza. Proof – That war does has an economic “up-side” – ?
    .
    Further proof? Russia Stock Market Index MOEX – Jan First they were at 3,115. They closed yesterday at 3,486. However – they are still hundreds of points below their all time high.
    .
    According to several reports this morning – everything is over-bought., the markets are in fantasy-denial., and one banking analyst for JP Morgan stated that he expects to see at least one bank closure – per week – starting by the end of May.
    .
    Take your pick. Three reports said Gold is going much higher – for the remainder of the year.., and – four reports said that Gold is about to top and ‘drift’ for the remainder of the year.
    .
    Got up at five this morning and finished planting [ and tending ] the vegetable garden. I was going to let two raised beds go dormant this summer – and just let them grow clover – but decided that since I have extra seed – I will plant them also. Plan on giving the excess to the Food Bank.

  14. Carnac deciphered G’s dream of a few days past, according to Ibn Seerin’s Dictionary of Dreams, available on Amazon.

    Yellow can mean strains (yellow key), a key with no teeth can mean cheating an orphan of his inheritance, or becoming guardian of an estate and deceiving it’s rightful heirs (better proofread your will?)

    Key(s) have a myriad 40+ meanings, including receiving divine guidance, victory over one’s enemy, wealth, attaining one’s goal, etc…

  15. “Humans Are Stupid, Gold Edition.”

    MARTIN ARMSTRONG: People will act the same way no matter what century they live in because human nature has never changed since Cain murdered Abel out of jealousy. We have advanced technologically but not emotionally.

    Peter 3:8–9 reads:

    “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

  16. My daily driver has 390K miles on it and a front wheel bearing is starting to fail, so I’ll have to change that. At least I have spares with axles and CV joints from a leftover donor car with only 150K miles. I have my van with 312K miles as a backup, and the pretty car with only 160K miles if I really need to use it. Original cost to me for all three together was about $1000, and two of them were free. It’s amazing the bargains you can find if you are not in a hurry and you fix what’s broken. Driving gently, even if fast will let your equipment last. Spare scrap cars will provide replacements when things eventually break. If you’re not in a hurry, it can even be a bit of fun.

    Unfortunately, registration, insurance, and fuel cost far more over time.

    George, I’ll be glad to call you at 2am to remind you to not get up and write.
