Retail Sales: Might as well get this one off the table at once. So we can get back to our back-alley pool where the odds are increasing that when Israel goes-a-popping Iran, it will be next Tuesday. Because that’s when the BRICS brass will be in Kazan, Russia. And world focus will be elsewhere.
So here’s the numbers:
” Advance estimates of U.S. retail and food services sales for September 2024, adjusted for seasonal variation and holiday and trading-day differences, but not for price changes, were $714.4 billion, an increase of 0.4 percent (±0.5 percent)* from the previous month, and up 1.7 percent (±0.5 percent) from September 2023. Total sales for the July 2024 through September 2024 period were up 2.3 percent (±0.5 percent) from the same period a year ago. The July 2024 to August 2024 percent change was unrevised from up 0.1 percent (±0.2 percent)*.
And for the visual cortex:
Today’s claim must have been a 24 kt bitch to adjust – just think of the balancing acts! On the one hand, you’d be trying to leave the Fed some talking points to give them cover from people obviously seeing the unnecessary half-point rate drop as political quid pro quo. While at the same time trying to make it appear that we’re not really totally depended on Asia (except for the rag trade which has gone even cheaper than China as my consigliere notes). And you don’t want to make up too much on the upside because that could light up inflation fears – and already in the preopen today, Gold was briefly over $2,700. That, and reminding people Retail is based on Dollars and not how much people actually get for all their spending. Tisk- tisk, quibble thee not! Everything is a Business Model – including You, Your Life, and Everything You Do. Just, you’re no longer the Only One Profiting. You’ve been had, Bubba.
Oh, industrial Production from the Fed lands a few minutes before the open.
The Paper Chase
With still up to a week before the Bonfire of the Equities begins (with WWIII primetime) here’s how the paper is piling up in a fool’s porridge of trend channels:
We could mention Bitcoin – which is just kissing $67,000. Yes, that’s right kiddies: The True Believers think BTC is again going to the moon. But there’s also a case that it won’t break to new highs before The Big War, and then – because governments hate competition – only “government sanctioned monies” will be allowed in private hands. The Mob, the Crook Class, will all be exempted, of course. Like they were from BTCs predecessor – the Secret Banking System. Crime always has it’s own currency, whether numbered accounts, the collection of sex slaves, or enough drugs to buzz New York.
Weekly Unemployment
Gee, here’s a coincidence for you in unemployment stats. Not this part…
But this part. Let’s see if it occurs to you…
See it? NOT ONE STATE with a big unemployment drop. We’ll see how this works out next week as we get closer to IT.
Headlines for the Headless
Why, I was reminding a reader just yesterday about how, since 2019, the house organ for the Council on foreign Relation’s rag has been touting plans for better relations (by the one worlders) with Yemen. Care to guess how that has been working out? Here’s a hint: US uses B-2 bombers to strike Houthi underground weapon storage facilities | | AW (thearabweekly.com).
I don’t know about you, but when I read stories like U.S. stealth bombers strike ‘hardened’ underground weapons sites in Houthi-run parts of Yemen – UPI.com, I wonder “Remember when Congress actually held war-making powers, not the State peeps and the Alphabetters?” How many undeclared wars are we in now, anyway? In our circle of “intel”igent types, Iran would like just as soon take out the existing government in Yemen and toss out of the House of Saud, too, once this war bubble gets to popping.
About that…Israel did a half-step stall toward Sunday with their forthcoming Iran attack. Which gives US misileers a chance to tune things up Why America’s THAAD missile defense deployment to Israel is a ‘gamble’ in Iran conflict, analysts say. An Israeli official says their cabinet can meet Sunday before anything pops, but wouldn’t you want to tell Iran (which knows it’s coming) “After Sunday?” Bang – the right hook outta nowhere.
With Kamala Harris playing the race card hard. we’re concerned that Joe Biden hasn’t been charged with attempting to buy votes yet. Because Biden administration forgives student loans for 60,000 public service workers. OK, Slow can dictificate all he wants, but with taxpayer’s money? Pah-leaze Slow, No. Just go….
It’s OK, chilluns – the fix is in! Facebook ALL IN FOR KAMALA: James O’Keefe exposes in latest vid.
Now, let’s weaponize something else while we’re at it: Weaponized Prayers: Seizing Public Space and Forcing Submission in the Name of ‘Respect’ – RAIR (rairfoundation.com). Bow before Caesar, friend.
BRICS-bat is our new word-of-the-day. As South Africa orders Taiwan to move representative office out of capital. Seems clear to us with BRICS in Kazan next week that South Africa’s booking some “struttin’ stuff” for the conclave. “We’s some bad-asses – see what we did to Taiwan last week, uh-huh…” Western One-Worlders vs. BRICS – what could go wrong?
At the Ranch: Death and Time Woojects
I suppose you’re wondering what a Wooject is, right?
Well the term – which should be self-evident to a person like you, who’s already smart enough to be reading this website – should be self explanatory.
Woo-woo is a class of events, circumstances, incongruous observations, and challenges that don’t quite fit the Standard Model of the Universe. The “ject” part is that contained within each Woo-Woo experience *(like remote viewing, for example) is usually a technology that can be teased-out. Like the Alphabet Agencies have teased out (with Pat Price and Ingo Swan – and $100-million of your tax dollars, thank you) some of the practical applications of Remote Viewing. Apprehending all this, you’re now ready to snitch a glance at what’s on the workbench here.
The Afterlife Wooject
Elaine and I have come to understand that – regardless of all of our work on Life Extension – that we will die some day. But, we have both had vivid-enough dreams to make it clear that there is some kind of an Afterlife. And as Shakespeare guided, it’s likely to be like The Big Sleep.
I’ve written a fair amount about this afterlifing and vivid dreams as the training wheels course in my book (on the list of one of the most unread books in history, by the way) “Psychocartography: Mapping the Human Dream.”
We’ve come to the conclusion that rather than go into a near totally malleable world of vivid dreams on dying, it should be even more interesting if we could go with a companion who we love (as in “each other”).
Thus the clear “Wooject” becomes, how do people do that? It was more than hinted at in my first novel “Dreamover“.
The specific focus of the (Death, Dying and Dreaming) Wooject is for two people to methodically practice remaining “with” one-another as we transition from shared waking space and move into dream realms. The process map (for how all this MIGHT work) involves a shared “waking place” where you can “meet” on the way (down into) sleep. And once into sleep realms, where do you go (together).
Not exactly something that is widely considered, let alone practiced, but we figure at our ripe old ages that it might be time to start blazing that trail. Elaine’s coming up on 82 and I’ll be 76 shortly so time’s a-wasting.
The Second Wooject is the “Time Carrier”
No, we’re not talking carrier as in aircraft; we’re talking “carrier” as in carrier wave – as in electronics. And this is where I reach back into a vivid dream from overnight because it was spectacularly interesting.
Essentially, I was handed the idea that time (that passing of events through the illusory “Now”) was all made possible by a carrier wave. And this “carrier” (of time) could be “balanced out” much as carriers are nutted out both in L-plan MUX tele-com gear, but more mundanely in ham radio equipment. As AI explains it:
“A balanced modulator is a circuit that produces double-sideband suppressed-carrier (DSBSC) signals by suppressing the radio frequency carrier. This results in a waveform that contains all the information of a traditional AM signal, but without the carrier, which saves power during transmission. “
In case you can’t (even after 50+ years) tear apart a Lenkurt Model 45 channel card in your sleep (guilty!) it may be easier to simply read up on ring demodulators which are also called lattice demodulators. But the problem is that (as modern information categorization has evolved) it’s all been buried in the annals of Ring modulation – Wikipedia.
The beauty of balanced modulators was their simplicity at the concept level. You have two AC voltages applied (out of phase) and these are “balanced out.” But with the arrival of the digital age, we left simple “frequency division multiplex” (where units like the old Lenkurts) processed multiple channels and a process called “frequency heterodyning” to get baseband for microwave systems.
Where digital walked in to smash frequency heterodyning (in military and tele-com sales in the early 1970s) was by time division multiplex. Which, true enough, will give you baseband for digital and optical BUT (and we roll back into the Dream Realms from overnight) this is where the digital children of today go blind on Time Machine development.
How so? Well, the “time carrier” (which can be hypothecated) becomes unrecoverable and cannot be reconstructed from fractional samples. In other words, time and gravity conquering devices are more likely to be analog than digital devices. And – since the world is gah-gah digital, the number of people conceptualizing solutions to time (and gravity) looking for non-sampling)in other words, analog) solutions is (how you say?) kind of limited.
Now, imagine “waking reality” as our “baseband.” Within this, we have a “tastes frequency” (in brain) and we process both sound and light frequencies, as well.
Suppose, concluded the dream, that in order to “step out of time” all you need to do is use a “time balancer to null out local time?” In this case, the whole baseband is recoverable without sampling loss implicit in TDM (which you brilliantly follow as time-division multiplex).
As I left the dream, there was the message: “Oh you also need to understand the Time Carrier roll-off. We’ve hidden that everywhere from in fast oxidation rates to the inverse square law…So once you figure out the broad spectrum analog sensor problem, then feeding it into a balanced “time de-modulator” should be easy. The sensor conceptualization will be tough. We’re going to get you some help.”
Dandy.
Just as Promised, Though…
But good to “The Plan” *(which is how Philip K. Dick referred to it in The Adjustment Bureau): First thing I get is an email from my friend Roger…
I am partway through this link. I am sending this to you because of the sound work gravitic work you have conducted. I think you may find it of use. The pyramids were giant musical instruments – Strange Sounds
Roger in Tucson
Unlike most readers, Roger remembers our work on space-time using sound to crack the barrier. The stuff covered in (yet another) one of my books.
Which gets us to the bottom lines of this morning:
- If you want to live “happily ever-after” how do you practice for that using co-dreaming. And – oh, by the way – How exactly do you co-dream?
- Second is how to design a time mulling analog device to “balance out local time” (and those this open a pathway to manipulation of time or reality directly?
Tah-DAH! One for the Road
You still doing serious home improvement projects at 75?
Yes, my new deck and railings got finished Wednesday. Just after this snap, I put in the banister and balusters on the right. Another project report on shopTalk Sunday so jot it down.
Time to move on to the research ponder of the day based on 5 best supplements to support your mental health, according to a psychiatrist | Fortune Well.
There was no mention in there (specifically) about omega-7 fatty acids and I have been taking a bit of buckthorn oil lately. Why? Sea buckthorn: A Potential Dietary supplement with multifaceted therapeutic activities – ScienceDirect got me interested. So far, I can say it hasn’t hurt…and I can type faster, lol. Oh, and with a bit of B vitamins after you read How to Boost Your Intelligence – Patrick Holford (11 minute read and worth it to me).
