Playing the Markets by Prophesy?

Some mental tuning is in order this morning as the world is engaged in a massive
hand-wringing festival over what happens next in the Middle East – and by
extension – what will happen to life savings and the sunset of civilization in
general.  Then we cast a steely eye on the matter of whether this could be
the “End of Days” period.  Odd for an economics-oriented site I’ll
grant you, but you “must be present to win” in markets, and if the
world’s going to end, some consideration of how to gracefully withdraw from
markets and where to deploy life savings would make sense. Why, that’s just the
kind of chipper and cheery good news that just makes you want to spring out of
bed this morning, isn’t it?  First coffee and assorted headlines and then
notes on what to watch for.

The End of Labor Days: It’s Time to Tax Machines

Only an idiot would call this “Happy Labor Day Weekend” because of how quickly jobs are being lost not only overseas but to robotic automation. Can’t policy wankers track the destruction of the American job market or the percentage of people holding jobs?  I mean WTF? A second chapter is presented this morning for Peoplenomics.com readers of my next book.  In this one, we address this
underlying problem in America that wasn’t in sight when the Founders crafted our marvelous Constitution.  It’s the problem of preferential tax treatment of machines over humans – and, I’m  embarrassed to say, it was a con job that my great, great, great grandfather Andrew Ure had a hand in perpetrating.  First, as we do every Saturday, we’ll run through some coffee and headlines to get the blood stirred up…then we can get on to the “deep thinking” section.

Update: The Nerve Gas Questions Linger But Evidence Builds

Further to this morning’s subscriber report, where we found some interesting archival data regarding past allegations of a “false flag “ nature regarding nerve gas use by parties in Syria, we have continued to dig around and (helped by a tip from reader DC) came across an article that seems to paint the “nerve gas” story buried in web archives as being an errant report on the part of a British media report.

As our reader put it:

I’m hopeful that this whole thing — chemical weaponry, impending invasion, and all — will also prove to be “completely fabricated”.  However, I’m not ready to apply the test of “hope in one hand, and … in the other…”

Sound judgment that, so we correct/append with this further data as we come across it in our best faith efforts to keep the story of what’s going on straight.

Nevertheless, it is troubling to see reports of how the administration is preparing “…to bypass UN on Syria response…” since they’ve already been hard at work bypassing due process here in the USA by so far keeping Congress from its constitutional role as the body that is charged with declaring war on behalf of the American people.

Meantime, British foreign secretary William Hague is reported playing down how close a strike could be and prestigious Foreign Policy headlined that the US “…Intercepted calls Prove Syrian Army used nerve gas…”

The most important piece in the puzzle will be awaiting the UN  inspector’s report which will presumably give the final word on whether the nerve agent use was “home brewed” in which case the rebels themselves could be outed as the perps, or whether the gas used was high quality military grade, in which case, the odds of Syrian forces as being the source o the attack would rise exponentially.

Today, the US markets rose on a lack of news on point, but while the earlier developments have faded in significant, we can safely report that evidence seems to be building against the Assad regime as fewer questions linger going into the overnight hours ahead of a long US holiday weekend.

False Flag Evidence and A Family Feud on ‘Peak Oil’

My brother in law announced to Elaine recently that “There is no ‘Peak Oil’
and went on to explain how we have oil coming out of our ears and on thing led
to another and next thing you know, I was biting my tongue and slinking out the
door toward my office because I wanted to write a rather lengthy response
because a number of readers, a few subscribers, and even my brother in law don’t
thing that Peak Oil is real.  So this morning we run through some
definitional points and scale the reality.  At it’s extremes, at $10,000 a
barrel, there is no peak oil…but here in under $10/gallon land, that’s another
matter altogether.  But before we get into the modeling of how Peak Oil
works, we’ll run through some headlines and a cuppa coffee or three…

How about we start with damning false flag which you can find here in web archives from January of this year?
