Forget the over-touted multiverse.  Parallel dimensions are likely real, not some computer simulations of reality.  And not to be confused with the “real-thing” Reality, after all.

Before we explain parallel universes intersecting with this one, however, we first need to spend some time understanding how the Future – yes, the real one – as in here and now – actually gets here.

Amazingly, we do know more than we think we know about Future.  But, as we’ll explain, we have not put enough neurons on task as a society to evolve new ways to think about future.  And wrest control of it back from those who have already hijacked it.

Which seems to be a reasonably interesting – mid half-week thinking point – as we size up how markets are evolving toward what should be a fascinating next week. And month end when war becomes pending.

With a holiday weekend, we pause to consider our market charts, These show a most worrisome pattern and a critical level has been broken.

Which we will get into after only a few preliminary remarks.

Despite the Fed boss ramble Tuesday, our pessimism grows.  That’s because scattered food shortages are being reported in the Northeast as grocery shelves “thin out.”

Going beyond pet food, there’s a hit that the supply chain issues will not resolve quickly this time.  Since the Brandon administration has gotten almost everything wrong so far, no reason to expect enlightenment and wise policy to come along right now, is there?

Which is why we again show you how inflation and the nation’s food supply are tied and discuss (again) the reasons why our “Grow Room” project on the side of our house has been such a high priority.

If you don’t have plans for survival gardening now, and for food storage when you get a crop, there’s still time to get prepped, but the window may close quickly and without notice.

Which we will explore in more depth after a few headlines and a discussion about another Nostradamus warning sign being fulfilled.   Oh, and the ChartPack, of course…

But let’s begin with an email from a fellow I know – who’s the smartest man in the room regardless of who else is there.  Not the kind of kudos we dish-out without basis…

A quarter century back, I committed to an “ethical lifestyle.”  Today, an update on its progress and evolution.  (Voluntary Lifestyle Reduction.)

However, first, we need to roll through some (additional, foolish) sheep fodder.  Fed people – dumbed-down folks – who don’t have the brains God gave chickens.  Or, they would have figured out there is a simple change of mindset (along with minor tweaks in government) that could ensure the long-term survival of the species.

Which we will high board into right after some headlines and a most interesting ChartPack set-up ahead of the Monday Ukraine pains to come.

We usually keep our nose on the “economics and wise-spending” grindstone.  But, now and then, the Larger Contexts of Life deserve a glance.  Markets will break higher – or lower – but no point on worrying about that, just yet.

So today off to the Land of Woo-Woo.  An interview with Martin Keller.  Whose book – The Space Pen Club: Close Encounters of the 5th Kind — UFO Disclosure, Consciousness & Other Mind Zoomers – pokes into familiar topics in the generalist’s mind.

Our direction (and goal) is “Triangulation” to put a word to it.  Sighting into those borderland regions between waking (and the world of tech), sleep and the world of dream realms, which live next door to Shamanistic Realms, which – in turn – abut the Miracles of Prophets. These, again in turn, leads to UFOs, remote viewing, and Major Concerns related to “what comes next.”

One coping track is to consider Life as a 90-odd year adventure to be “GoPro‘ed” with your Mind’s Eye.  This, rumor has it, will be played back during your “just-after-Death” Life Review Experience; a topic gaining scientific traction.

“The Truth is Out There” – and Keller describes his adventures along the edges of a Much Bigger Deal.

We launch right after a few headlines including the new ADP Employment Data and this morning’s ChartPack.

One useful observation in my (almost) 73-years, is that humans each have their own specific “non-linearity zones.”  We see this in their politics, consumer discretionary, spare time pursuits, and all the rest.

This morning, if there’s one thing, we can think of that will be useful in the coming year, it will be dynamic interactive change between a multiplicity of non-linear systems.

With the start of the New Year, we wish you a profitable one ahead!

Quest to Beat Aging was well-received, but incomplete, in subscriber views.  So, this morning, another 30-pages of what’s really turning into something of a “manual on aging well – and slowly.“

First up, though, a lot of fresh economic data to paw through on this holiday-abbreviated week.

Which will be followed by the ChartPack where we will try to understand where all this is going.

As with the first part of this report, the “Addendum” may be found on the Master Index page in both PDF and EPUB formats for your convenience.

Thus, what started off as a discussion on encouraging re-methylation of telomere and the light crown has expanded into a wider range of “making aging easier.”

This is what “mission creep” looks like up close and personal.

Odds are rising the “hot word” of 2022 will be “NSNW.”  As if Covid 19 was not enough of a context scapegoat for financial markets, the odds are seen growing that the “next step” along the path will be war. Possibly of the NSNW sort.

Interventionist Capitalism’s run may be ending sooner than we think:  Bailing Out “TBTF” sowed the future with unsupportable debt.

Wars and Depressions are the mechanisms by which debt (and savings) are repudiated.

Today we need a scapegoat that will be more effective than an escaped bioweapon which broke out “accidentally” – or did it?

The drive to scapegoating is simple:  People in power only remain there so long as they do genuinely good works on behalf of the Wee People.  Or, so long as they hold us in a moderate grip of terror.  Failing “good works” a firmer grip on terror is the easier path.  One that may be in play right now.

When you examine why you  hand over 10-30% tribute from your earnings to the central government, do you have any sense it’s “Because of all the Great Works they Do for The People?“

Our End was sealed when government benefits became taxable. Happened in 1983 when (the vastly over-rated) Ronald Reagan pushed the once Social Security Trust Fund into the government’s general fund.  And the crooks of both blasphemous parties began taxing benefits.

Today, we look at how 2022 could become War Year 1 – the first of what shapes up as a generation-long descent into economic hell.  Something echoing the collapse of Rome.

The replay of Rome’s decline will be imprecise, at best.  You may remember it got rocking and rolling in 376 AD when a huge onslaught of Goths, fleeing the Huns, fled south.  A hundred years of fighting and misery later, call it 476, the barbaric German king Odoacer polished off the Western Empire.

The good news, such as it is?  We won’t take so long.  Because our collapse shapes up as far more brutal and much quicker.  Fall of Rome On Internet Time.  Ain’t that some progress, huh?

First, a few seasonal headlines and the ChartPack.  Because what happens next is sometimes telegraphed in advance by the markets.

Which we will be actively shorting as we see the signs and storm clouds gather.  Happily ever after will become an historic mirage…

We offer our Christmas 2021 ebook on anti-aging experiments we’ve been conducting.  Think of this as the “personal live-fire drill” as time marches on.

At 4o+ pages, this is one of our longer reports and thus we provide it as bot a .PDF and EPUB so you can pop it into your ebook reader or forward it to your Kindle.  None of it is medical advice.  But there’s a lot to think about in it.

Before that. however, we’ll look at the pending war in eastern Europe and consider how markets may react ahead of events in the ChartPack.

No cookies and milk needed…

Sometimes, history can help scale our “worst case” thinking.  In one of our “mainly charts” reports today, we look at (semi-recent) economic history and ask how bright are America’s enemies?

The question is not moot:  Russia has outlined a number of “deal points” for standing down on their side of the Ukraine border.

Since the odds of them doing so are approximately zero – since the West has more ownership of the Ukraine border than, oh, the U.S.-Mexico line, this all ends badly.

For those not paying attention, we figure this weekend to be inside the 45-day window for a bad New Year.

The headlines and charts will explain.

With some of the big issues out of the way, the rest of 2022’s drivers can be lined up and then some ideas tabled.   As always, UrbanSurvival and Peoplenomics are not about “making the most” but instead about “losing the least” as complexity hits the wall.

This morning, we eye things like communications, transportation, and finance to see what might post in where.

Even came up with a new way of mapping future to consider.

Which we will get to after a few headlines, the charts, and some warning words about the Fed meeting announcement this afternoon.

Bonus:  Our News Reindeer this year are Drugger, Racer, Basher, and Warrior.

Bring your own Ho.

Simplified communication reflects a tribe of simpletons is our origin point this morning.  Because – importantly – big thoughts with important nuances may not be easily abbreviated.

The urge to abbreviate is driven by multiple factors, too:  time, laziness, and “normed down convention.”  Thing is, the “idea simplification business” carries many hidden risks.  Not the least of which is a society making mistakes as three-word (and syllable)  positioning statements used as names are often nothing more than jingoism intended for  mass victimization.

Not a particularly long piece – this being the weekend, and all.  But given that small thoughts fit small minds and small abbreviations are deceiving, it’s worth some study.  Because how we process information directly impacts judgment.  And this, in turn, pushes our bottom line around.

After a few headlines, a look ahead, and the ChartPack.

A focus on the Environment today following our outlooks for the basics of food, water, and shelter.  These were in the first part of our Annual Forecast series.

Our topic didn’t rate its own column in previous years.  But with energy, population, pandemic/plandemics about, more climate craziness, well there are limits approaching quickly.

The differences are like squeezing a balloon, however.  Just when you think you have an answer to climate issues, for example, the “balloon pops out” other places.  EV’s don’t magically “reduce pollution.”  They only move it/.

We’ll get into this after some headlines (war still one – duh!) and a look at the charts.  Plus, finally, some good news about my eyes…
