HDNBW with a side of Fatal Distractions? This is a dandy time to discuss the value of broad perspectives and the importance of generalization skills. Because for most of us, the coming couple of weeks will bring the culmination of many long-chain event sequences that none of us will have any influence over. So best to be about our own plans.
“Wanna translate, Ure?”
Sure, no prob.
Dismiss Any Election Concerns
The die is already cast – the insanity of insecure elections is with us again – and at least half the voters are going to be disappointed in 10-days. So a November full of internal conflict (and maybe scattered violence) is a high possibility. People who have become addicted to partisanship will have a hard time getting back to being “All Americans Again.”
For today, two items have the left reeling a bit: Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff slapped me in the face so hard I spun around … I’m disgusted by his fake ‘perfect spouse’ persona. And the biggie? Harris will not appear on Joe Rogan podcast, her campaign says,
Our apolitical view is that Harris peaked 10-days too early.
For now, the left is worried that Elon Musk is getting America refocused on our core issues. America on X: “Andy from Holly Springs, NC received $1M for signing our petition to support the Constitution, which just surpassed 1 MILLION Signatures Every day until Election Day, a person who signs will be selected to earn $1M as a spokesperson for America PAC SIGN: The Department of Just-Us is threatening.$1M voter sweepstakes may violate federal law, US Justice Department warns Elon Musk.
But, just in case Musk is not intimidated by politicians (who conveniently lost the Hunter laptop for how long?) the second wave attack has already begun: With a Wall Street Journal-based report: Elon Musk Held Secret Talks With Putin Amid Shifting Views on Ukraine – WSJ – The Moscow Times.
I haven’t had to “cover an election” since 1983 but the way the “handlers” play last minute attack stories is with a simple quadrature approach.
- Good thing (for the Candidate)
- Bad thing (for the Opposition) Which it mirrored across the aisle…
- Good thing (for the Opposition)
- Bad thing (for the Candidate)
Seldom do you see such a simple “plug n play” example as the Musk-Taiwan story, but here’s how it “plugs in” to the analytical framework. We will view from the Candidate (Harris) side – the Candidate (Trump) side will be in opposition, right?
- Musk-Taiwan-Putin is Good for Harris (cleaves Ukraine support on the right)
- Musk-Taiwan-Putin is Bad for Trump (Makes Musk look ultra-political)
- Musk-Taiwan-Putin is Good for Trump (Musk remains wildly admired by key younger target demographics with good reason)
- Musk-Taiwan-Putin is Bad for Trump (Raises questions about authenticity of Trump support for Taiwan and informs China)
We won’t suffer you with a quad chart and assign the numbers breakdown of how key persuasion blocks will roll with this story, but it’s what goes on behind the closed doors of last-minute campaigns.
Carried in extremis, we can predict (with low confidence) that Musk will draw additional lightning bolts from the Harris camp with his working to dethrone the iconic pro-Trump “Positive voter identification with Musk” on the one hand while the Harris camp is also rolling “Negative candidate identification” through the series of Trump-Putin stories which have arisen (or been planted) with purpose for this closing mud wrestle touted in liberal media reports like Trump accused of groping by former model Stacey Williams – The Washington Post.
As we mentioned earlier this week, we are really dialing it back in terms of what is a “real” election story in the run in to the vote. Because if you have made up your mind, it’s not too early (in our view) to take off the partisan robes and get back to “chop wood, carry water” because regardless of what comes next, life on this Planet of the Apes will crawl along into 2025.
If there are any survivors, of course.
Musk, meanwhile, seems to be good for a few more “sign the petition” payouts as Elon Musk $21 billion richer in one day as Tesla stock gains 19%.
One reason for all the gains? “Tesla plans to make an inexpensive robotaxi and an entry-level, $25,000 electric car based on the same vehicle architecture, according to Walter Isaacson’s biography of Musk released in September, which includes interviews with the CEO and executives.” But color us skeptical (but interested) depending on range. We can keep the old Lexus for a backup ICE hooptie and…well, let’s just see.
That’s because despite being in a Depression, there was still a new car market in America during the Thirties. Some real Jay Leno “candy” on the list, too. The Greatest Cars Of The 1930s (Plus A Short History)
Open Borders Failing – Canada
Here’s a story that is huge. Because Open Border Stupidity is a big issue in Remnant ‘Merica. Our neighbors to the north may be smarter than we are as Canada announces new immigration targets for the next three years. Dialing it back. Oh yeah: Canada to reduce immigration targets by nearly 30% by 2027 as Trudeau acknowledges his policy failed.
This is something we have covered more on the Peoplenomics side, but the basic Big Picture is that when Europe began to fail, the megalomaniacs of the EU opened borders knowing that if you import millions of poor people who have nothing. you will get an economic pop and that is what we labeled Syn-Growth a year or two back (see the PN archives).
Seeing the pattern here? As Canada wakes up (and this will be a major political failure for the True Dope in coming elections) we also see that “white shamed” countries in Europe are sobering up, as well. Sweden is now offering big money to make immigrants leave: here’s how much and why.
Now stir in the meaning of the story a couple of weeks back Top Oregon official put on leave for allegedly prioritizing ‘qualified’ job candidates over ‘gender identity’ and yes, brothers and sisters, the world is changing right out there in front of our eyes. ‘Mazing. Oregon is still nuts, but give them a decade or so.
Decapitation Weekend?
While we would not be surprised to see the market run up early today, holding those gains into the close with a Nail Biting Weekend at hand could be more challenging. Especially with stories about like The order was issued: Prepare for war – B92.
The big question is “How Large a Stick?” In other words, Israel would like to convey a lot of pay-back. But, the Biden posse is trying to keep “oil on the waters” at least till after the election. More clearly, in Ayatollah Khamenei has asked Iranian military to prepare for war against Israel but only under this condition- we read the “deal points” this way: “Iran will retaliate if Israel strikes its oil and energy infrastructure or nuclear facilities or if it assassinates senior officials.”
Well, you can see the reason for our nail-biting, I’m sure. Israel doesn’t have a lot of targets left that would convey Big Message to the theocracy if your take oil, energy, and nuke sites off the table. Which means? Well, then Israel can expect inbound from Tehran as payback.
And then? Well, that’s when we start to worry about decapitation strike which would sure qualify as an Israeli mistake” that has been “seen” linguistically and in remote view circles for a long time. G.A. Stewart’s discussion this week of the “Gog and Magog” of it all is also useful framing.
The problem that IF (and here’s the nail chewing)…
- IF Israel doesn’t take oil, energy, and nukes off the table
- THEN Israel will suffer a dangerously large retaliation…
- SO If retaliation is coming anyway, why not go with a decapitation strike from the get-go?
Pragmatism is a bitch. Wonder how long-time street fighters would call this one? (Feel free to post comment on the mechanics of the psychological decision-making processes…)
Quibbish or Quippish?
Yes, my little broom-stickers (who should get their hog warts removed) only six days to roll before the new broom that sweeps clean day.
Meanwhile, fast food joints are in a pickle, as it were: US fast food chains stop serving onions after deadly McDonald’s E.coli outbreak
War on Americans is still on the table: RFK Jr. becomes America’s first major political voice to condemn Biden-Harris regime’s ominous Federal Directive 5240.01. Military can shoot at you.
The UFO Meme is showing up per Clif High’s outlook about on schedule: The swarm of UFOs caught on video near US Air Force base by dozens of stunned onlookers. More disclosure hearings are due around the end of the month, if memory serves. And then, a week or two later, the big decriminalizing marijuana hearings Dec. 4th… sheesh.
Economic Sidebar
Durable goods orders are just out.
“New orders for manufactured durable goods in September, down three of the last four months, decreased $2.2 billion or 0.8 percent to $284.8 billion, the U.S. Census Bureau announced today. This followed a 0.8
percent August decrease.
BTC hypsters are going wild with talk of higher, higher…. from $68,093 at press time.
At the Ranch: Learning Mode Weekend
With the new (small, replacement) deck and appearance items around the front of the house done this week, I can get going on finishing the hydroponics planting today. Most of the weekend, though, will be devoted to Brain Feeding.
To begin with is a fresh (no distractions, markets close, phone ringer off) read of Forbidden Cosmology: Uncovering the Ultimate Connection (Complete Cosmic Energy Exchange Concept, CCEEC). By G.W. Franke (a Peoplenomics reader, BTW – smart people do read this site). What makes the book so interesting is that is comes at a time when science – especially the String Theory Choir, has run out of excuses. Franke’s book is a dandy rethink – from the Bang forward – of how we don’t think things that logically follow.
In case you hadn’t noticed (idiotic election, wars at hand, madeup diseases and dictatorial schemers aside) the world is about to cast of the chains of wrong-headedness. Elaine and I did some “study” for Franke in a single sitting by watching the Eric Weinstein interview on Modern Wisdom:
The world is getting close to a major change-point and when it shows up – when coupled with all the things we presently know (and unlike stringy hink) are demonstrably true, then we are on the doorstep of massive change.
Even reading Franke’s book as far as I have, five stars, worth reading, and definitely of interest if you like messing about with time machines, portal, accoustical reality tunneling, and other arcane arts when you’re not day trading.
If There’s Time Left Over…
Also on the brain input conveyor for the weekend are things like:
The one further complication to planning out Ure’s weekend: Rain is in the forecast for next week and a final lawn mowing (and initial leaf mulch) will mean a couple of hours of pretending the 54-inch riding mower is an ATV. And before the winds and rain get here, I want to get the big ladder line fed Zepp antenna up for low band ham use…
Geez… I’m getting late already. Hand me a BP pill and some more coffee, would you?
Oh, shit, just one week to go before the Big Time Lie ends. (Daylight time is outta here weekend after this one!)
