TL;DR: We’re “bubbling a cauldron of scary, silly, and frankly stupid as the week draws to a close. Another drug boat hit, but blow of a different type in the Caribbean. Meanwhile a word about time-budgeting in our life management notes…
Newsoween: Scared Yet?
GovDown drags out, the Fear Party rants about destruction of the White House, peace is on the rocks as the US sanctions further, Yet, just another Thursday in The Land The Sense Forgot.
War clouds or cauldron fumes? Polish civilians prepare for possible Russian attack.
Modern Headlines, Ancient Context
I’ve become a real fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs again because so many of his stories are still hanging around the edges of the modern archetype in news flows.
Not just for the Tarzan series which culminated in 1947. Or, the Schwarzenegger movie you may have total recall of when reading Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars.
No, for us there’s an almost heaven riff to Land of Terror as we read how Donald Trump hits Russia with ‘tremendous’ oil sanctions and look at the chain reactions that have left China and India to face supply jolt as U.S. targets Russia’s oil giants.
As a result, China has concerns as do points south from there. US sanctions Russian oil majors over Ukraine, prompting India jitters and Moscow fury | Reuters
It doesn’t directly cause market jitters, although markets will open down today and Bitcoin is still under $110,000.
The biggest problem is NOT the White House remodeling, though you might think so reading The White House Lied About Destroying the East Wing. Or, for that matter, Trump says ‘existing structure’ of White House East Wing to be torn down. But haven’t I mentioned (more than once) that Trump has a Developer’s Mindset?
Blow and Blow?
We ship you not, but: US military strikes suspected drug vessel in Pacific. Mixed feelings on this. Love that drug flows may be slowing. About 100,000 pounds of blow has been interdicted. Where our concern centers is on the U.S. performing self-appointed police actions in international waters. We don’t know for sure on this, since we haven’t found the lat/lons on this.
Video promoting the action was a good selling point, but we don’t know if it was specifically the craft that was attacked.
Perhaps our concerns will blow over.
But Wait! There’s More!
More blow?
If you’re not into cartography, it’s due to pass south of Jamaica by Monday which means really good beach combing in the Cayman Islands after it passes there, says Tuesday or Wednesday. I have friends who have picked up the odd doubloon in the surf up in the Rum Point area after storms…
Next stop will be – we’re spit balling here – whether Melissa will shoot the gap between Cancun and western Cuba – in which case a week, or so ahead? We MIGHT – and this is only a tiny chance for now – we could have us big weather in the Gulf of America (or, whoever’s it is this week_).
Short Stories
Not much else to worry about. Unless you want to get back on the Burroughs riff. Having failed with 3I/ATLAS running into Mars (riffing Burroughs The Gods of Mars) we have seen a few nicely irresponsible comments about how it must have triggered that flare. Say what? Is 3I/ATLAS Trying to Communicate? NASA Scientists Shocked by Sudden Energy Burst | IBTimes UK
Didn’t we just have a non-Earth directed X flare? And don’t we all know Type II radio bursts and their association with coronal mass ejections in solar cycles 23 and 24 | Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A) and a cometary tail might act as a passive radio reflector?

We’ll just hang out in the woods a while longer, thanks.
Yes! It’s Wombat Day! (BCN mentioned to Len in Oz): They are serious – OK, and sparring). How some ever this is International Wombat day.
A wombat is a stout, burrowing Australian marsupial (family Vombatidae) built like a low-slung bulldozer with a teddy-bear face: it has powerful claws for digging long tunnel systems, a tough cartilage-reinforced rump for blocking predators, backward-facing pouch to keep soil off the joey, cube-shaped droppings used for scent-marking, and a slow, nocturnal grazer’s lifestyle focused on grasses, roots, and bark; there are three species (common, southern hairy-nosed, northern hairy-nosed), with lifespans around 10–15 years in the wild and notably higher in captivity.
And just to be clear, Len does not look like a wombat. *(They however…er…how do I break this to him?…hmm…)
Around the Ranch: Time Budgeting
Sorry for the shortish column this morning. Besides trying to work on proofing my latest book (Mind Amplifier: Human Use of Cognitive Prosthetics) there’s a new math theorem resolving into view.
The short version (look for the full details on Peoplenomics if it works out) is that there is a “fingerprint of God” contained within the time base of news events. If you can picture a crossover between Elliott Wave theory and our work on minimal cycle deconstruction and the visual oscillator in yesterday’s ChartPack (subscriber side) there are remarkable possibilities to run down.
- The first is that order does appear in chaos. It’s evidenced by the renormalizing rate of sequential moving averages.
- This “order within chaos” is repetitive.
- In other words, on certain days, markets have peaks of regularity in their data. October 3rd was a “zero day” as were Sept. 19th and 22nd.
- On other days, chaos is maximal: September 2nd was a max chaos day.
- At first blush, highs appear at “minimal chaos” nodes while lows come around max chaos days.
In recent market work, we just had a chaos reading of 4 on Wednesday. Tuesday’s reading was a 2. If we get the expected lower market at the close today, the chaos reading will be a 5.
What’s useful to know is that max chaos (only in the present iteration of the work) tends to max at 7, or so. As a result, we can infer (if you believe whack job numerology like this) that more downside is ahead between now and the middle of next week.
Because we can also see a “self-healing” aspect of the information calculated from sequential moving averages.
And what it offers are some nifty insights into the way this “min/max chaos” has been around throughout human history. And how, cycles may steer human events, exerting a much stronger influence than previously appreciated.
Being an offset function, it’s like burning your hand when cooking. The “burn” happens today, but the blister shows up tomorrow or maybe out into next week.
One other take out from this: You know the old saying “If you want something done, give it to busy man to get done”?
It’s a lie. I gave this project to the busiest guy I know – me. And Nothing is getting done, as a result.
We’ll take Truth wherever we can find it, I suppose…
