Two worthy topics on tape today (besides the weekend war outlook). We do some mighty interesting (and humbling) calculations comparing the 1929 bubble (and inflation from the Great Depression) with modern times.  You talk about getting knocked down a notch!

Then we do another chapter of our Longevity book (“Tell your doctor” – but it may be retitled “This is getting old – firsthand…”).  This Subscriber’s only book is more than 50,000 words and a ton of research and personal “best practices” we’ve been following.

Before we move to the interesting stuff, though, we will pause long enough to throw a few BRICS at passing headlines…

We have a list of “life-changing, but for now still pending” events that make us a bit cranky this weekend.  No, not that we are in a hurry for WW III to break out, nor are we anxious for the wrong presidential candidate to get the nod by voters.  OK, and we don’t really want Iran to lob a nuke or Israel to “go first” into that future, either.

But sometimes, like good little air & food processors there’s not really much we can do – other than wait for the sluggish Future to get back to us.

There is other study to be done, including musing a bit in today’s ChartPack about the coming of “Citabria Markets” and the Lomcovak moments ahead.  If this doesn’t make sense, then might we suggest some remedial reading to get your head back in the cockpit?  Try this, for example.

Beans, bullets, and a big water source are sliding as priorities a bit.  While preppers up-armor, it’s time to check emotional supports, and look for rational national leadership.  All as America comes under attack by foreign drug gangs who’ve infiltrated via the Obama-Biden-Harris open border.

Which means what, exactly?  Simply that our Seven Major Physical Systems prepping paradigm has to change with the times.  It will be augmented with four important classes of “emotional support prepping” over the coming year.

All while we await the Big Wars breaking out (which could light up any minute) and while we await political pandemonium  sure to follow an election which now features racism as a sales pitch. A nod to the “Klan” party standard bearer.

In the midst of all this, we have come up with a new way of looking at financial markets that you’ll find interesting in today’s ChartPack.

The Partisan News problem is growing. It’s hard enough to figure out the Future – even when you have a good and reliable set of facts at hand.

But the evolving problem in the world now – in addition to the liberal disease of “talking-past the other party” – is that “clean sourcing” is becoming more difficult.

So we begin the weekend with some ponders of what’s ahead.

A focus on weather warfare to kick off mid week. Then another chapter of our book on longevity. Plus the ChartPack.

For now, in all of these topics, we will be sorting between conspiracy and the evidence. It’s not exactly a simple task.

A recent Peoplenomics report may have sounded a bit harsh on FEMA. But NC events are making it clear: We weren’t tough enough. Some observations and suggestions plus a sampling of reader reports kicks off the weekend.

And then we roll into the most perplexing question of all: With global war, FEMA incompetence, and no sign of a genuine “crisis ready leader” for the Oval, why are markets holding up so well?

Toss in a few war front notes – got lots of them to pick through – and it’s a report that is sure to have you muttering “Glad it’s the weekend!”

We arrive at Chapter 12 of our book on anti-aging techniques just in time for War.  Impeckerble timing, if I do say so.

Before we jump in to the problem of “rolling the clock back” there’s not only war to discuss but also the employment report – ADP is out.

And then there’s the ChartPack where to try to figure out which place on the cliff we drove off…

You’re advised to bring coffee and a good sense of humor.  Because while war is no laughing matter, politics of late – and several other topics – really have become jokes. Even though no one’s laughing, yet.

We’ve been reporting on Peoplenomics for more than a quarter century and never before have so many factors been in the “this close” column. We have a least three major wars in the wings, a major national disaster just hit the Southeast and there is a hotly contested presidential contest to be decided in just over a month.  Talk about vulnerabilities stacking up!

This morning a few of the highlights.  Plus in the chart pack, we get into the paradox of a market (and whole world) which seems to be responding to a methodical bout of inflation instead of the facts right before us.

It’s a sobering time when yes, there are things that could be scarier than Halloween.

No one seems to have noticed, except maybe us: FEMA has about totally botched its “civil defense” mission.  In fact, we went looking for evidence of how FEMA is prepared to defend the US from all hazards.  Wow! Were we disappointed.

Using a search engine, it’s clear while Civil Defense is a big deal elsewhere, America has already fallen into the cellar.

We’ll dig into that and do the charts and a few news items along the way, too.  Single cup issue this week – if you read fast.

To me, this was a troubling report to write. Because in it, there are two undeniable examples of how America is in process of “rolling over” into a second Roman collapse.  Sorry to report.

Headlines galore about “stock market records” this week. But, as long time readers know, we take such headlines with a grain of salt.  Particularly when they are not based entirely on big picture and “apples to apples” analysis.

Again, we propose that our wider aperture using the Aggregate Index may offer some unusual insights.

Six weeks out from a presidential election – we are not surprised by a lack of public acuity, though.  It’s what the Mainstream has been peddling – and so far, it’s working…

Three biggies on the docket today:  The Fed meeting results are due this afternoon, so we can all get into the water cooler pool on that one.  I’m in for 10-large.

Second is the latest chapter on my book on Anti-aging from a lay perspective.  And I have to tell you, when a writer enjoys writing a chapter it’s probably pretty good. Got good initial reviews.

And number 3?

Big Improvements for Subscribers are beginning a migration with today’s report.  Our ChartPack will no longer be individual charts, in most cases, but will be a series of higher resolution PDF files which will give much better visual appearance (and take a lot less of my time to prepare!).

In coming weeks, the plan is to roll Peoplenomics over into a content management platform which will give much better cross- device access.  However, we will keep links in place for the legacy HTML reports and those go back as far as Y2K (2000).

The migration will be a “from the hip” deal.  The intro of PDF charts (a series of multiple PDFs, actually) is only the first step.  The next one will be consolidating the half-dozen spreadsheets into a unified (monster) that that will take less headspace to manage.  (Ure’s getting older and link layers and recursives are not a good retirement pastime!). Unfortunately, in a world of hyper-complexity, sometimes we have to complicate to simplify, but all the same core material will remain – just where to click will wiggle around as we work out way through the process.

At the end of it, the same odd thinking style will still be present and maybe some new goodies.  Like a members only discussion group and (depending on complexity) we may even do some one-to-one convos; that’s something people have inquired about.  As always, if you have constructive ideas to pass along, please do.  This whole adventure has been a user-driven part of my life that just sprang to life on it’s own.

There should be no changes to any of the logon process – that’s holy an cast in stone.  Once you enter the site, however, you will see different web addresses for the content and such.

Thanks.

Monster Week could be coming up starting Tuesday.  So today we look at the event calendar and consider some of the sizzling fuses that are already lit.

Our objective is to get enough sense about what’s just ahead to avoid being run over by it. Oh, and if we make a few bucks along the way, why, that’d be OK, too.

Our book on anti-aging best practices is nine chapters deep with today’s report.  Where the focus is on people bespoke wish to live longer lives contrasted with what they really do.

We will also look in on the day’s round of “the Blame Game’. This is where Donald Trump had a very bad night, and Kamala Harris did so well that Wall Street (futures) are worried because taxes on capital gains will head into orbit with a democrat win.

All of which leaves the nonpartisan investor with some dandy moneymaking opportunities which we not only sketched out in advance Monday (and it all came off according to the playbook) but also it sets up an ideal Fed meeting next week.

So draw another cup of the bean and let’s deal out some harsh Reality, again.
