What the MSM Buries: At Least It's Not Tuesday
We begin this morning with a wide perspective of the "other news" - the stuff that is censored out of the mainstream of thought since it's too emotionally "hot" and since in order to maintain our existing socioeconomic paradigm, people can't be allowed to go rattling the bars of the thought corral that the duopoly and the transnational corporation PowersThatBe/Were would like to keep us in, since to have too many free-thinkers outside [the box] (the paradigm) dilutes their power to harvest personal power and money. Nevertheless, there's a lot of second-level news to report today - the stuff behind the headlines, at least for a few more hours till it can be spun just so for public consumption. So with fresh coffee, we go surf the reality of the emergent wavefront of reality....with a good sense of humor, since pie and humor go well together.

There are rumored to be signs to be found out west of Tuscaloosa, Alabama which read "At Least This Ain't Mississippi." And in an odd sort of way, that's the good part about this particular Monday morning. At least it ain't Tuesday.
The reason is the crew up at www.halfpasthuman.com which put together the web bot run last week is more than slightly freaked out since they are expecting something of a planetary scale something to happen in the next 72-hours. Not that they have high precision on it, but the gathering tomorrow of lots of corporate leaders, lots of high level government types, and even the President visiting Denver tomorrow has them on edge. Not just that visit to a high school on the plan, either. No, it's not a tipping point (like 9/11 was)...It's a lot deeper than that.
Some of our leading candidates for concern are:
Turkey and Israel are "hardening" their positions and a showdown over the oil and gas deposits in the Med are possible. Might want to keep an eye on Y Net which is reporting "Turkey 'hunts down' Israeli commands on Facebook" who were involved in that Gaza-bound ship showdown.
Also of note, Turkey's prime minister says "Turkey-Iran to Continue Efforts against Kurdish Rebels." To say the Middle East is heating up would be serious understatement.
Then there's the precarious position of global markets which are on the verge of recognizing the reality of The Global Depression. But perhaps this is a bit overdone, since while it's true that most of Asia was down overnight, the Europeans may have put a couple of shots of something in their coffee this morning since Europe seems to be in the grips of a deads cat bounce to start the week.
But, of course, none of these events would lead high officialdom to head for a Mile High City this week and those fancy digs under the Denver Airport and/or Cheyenne Mountain nearby.
Sure, maybe it's just a nice place to catch views of the Rockies before the snows set in, yet Gold this morning is down to almost $1,600 per ounce, and is screaming (along with the bond market) that something is up. We tend to pay a good bit of attention to perma-bear Marc Faber who's telling CNBC that he doesn't rule out gold dropping to $1,100 per ounce, although my work favors (only) $1,425 for now, then $2,500, then $700. But...whatever....
Curiously, and having as dire consequences as some of these things have, Clif and mustache-muncher Igor are not as worried about boring things like markets and the charade of the duopoly so much as they are concerned about something seismic or space goat related.
For example, what would happen if - and this is highly speculative here - the Big News of this week were to turn out to be a 'double terra entity' nightmare. Picture a massive earthquake in the Central USA (New Madrid) and having it turn out even bigger than the 1812 sequence of events - and what if that were to simultaneously (or shortly after) trigger the long-worried La Palme/Cumbre Vieja undersea landslide which could wipe out a good portion of the US Eastern Seaboard?
That's the current worry and it's why Clif and Igor were on phone-tree style yesterday calling friends with "...nice to know you..." calls. Which is extreme, even for them.
But there may be something to it since the spiders (used for tracking down the future (in multiple languages) on the web) have turned up reports that El Hierro in the Canary Islands is shaking and that a major eruption there could trigger a pan-Atlantic disaster.
The headline in the Spanish-language La Razon (of Spain) this morning headlines "Alert volcanic island of El Hierro" this morning and you can read a google machine-translated page of the Spanish source page here. El Hierro is only 65-miles south of the disaster-for-the-world potential on the western side of La Palma. Little close for comfort...
Now, as to the specific threats posed by a massive undersea earth slide at Cumbre Vieja, our research department came up with the paper "Cumbre Vieja Volcano -- Potential collapse and tsunami at La Palma, Canary Islands" by Steven N.; Ward and Simon Day.
The "good news" for Floridians is that computer models suggest that the resulting wave train, which could reach the US nine-hours after such a hypothetical undersea earth slide would perhaps not cause devastation from about West Palm Beach south to Miami. But, north of there (which is shielded by the Bahamas (and sorry about their outcome) life would quickly deteriorate from 25-meter waves (81-feet) striking the coast and running inland.
So, not saying it will happen this way but that language and building language around this possibility (when it hits front pages in Spain, for instance) do give the rickety time machine crew the willies. And with good reason as I'll explain in a sec.
But for this morning, looks like Europe is still afloat financially, and now if it can stay that way in literally terms, that would be fine, too. Did I mention that London's parliament is on an unusual break and did you happen to notice what the wave3 train would do to the UK? No?
Still, the good news is this: At least it ain't Tuesday yet.
The Latest Web Bot Hit: Netting Protesters:
All of which would be dismissed as just another worry if the predictive linguistics which had this discussions of "Discards and the Rubbish Revolt" when the Shape of Things to Come report was released on September 20th:
We now have new supporting sets that include aspect/attributes with [bound (human chains) in ropes], and [(mass) judgments (canceling right to trial)], and [prison ships (docked at large complexes (in north east?)], and other sets going to the idea of a [usofa military invasion (of a major east coast american city)]. While there are indicators that this is a [test run], that supporting set can also be applied to the very first open skirmish in a war. There are repeated and reinforced (by cross links) sets going to the idea of [netting (scooping) up of people], and [forbidden imagery (now outlawed by edit and scrubbed automagically on line as it is posted)] that will be of [mass roundups] and [people running to escape (public netting)]. Some of the imagery, will, as they say, be disturbing to more rational humans as it will be [taken from dizzying heights (on street battles below)], and even worse, will [include (the decapitation)] of the [videographer].
And sure enough, snooping around on the 'net we see how the fulfillment of the rickety time machine output got underway on Saturday as the Occupy Wall Streeters were mass arrests and in stories like this one, the police use of 'nets' is clearly referenced.
Oh - and as to that scrubbed automagically online as it is posted part of the report? Well, well, quite as predicted the popular website Activist Post was taken down during the protests,. although we note that it's back in operation along with an excuse/apology from their hosting outfit (Google) that it was all due to an automated process of some sort. Yup, Universe is just full of coincidences, ain't it?
Paradigm Defenders
Then there's the (alleged) Federal Reserve Bank of New York "Sentiment Analysis And Social Media Monitoring Solution RFP Request for Proposal (Event-6994) which shows up on here.
So, we sit this morning scratch our heads wondering "What will the Fed do with a sentiment analysis and social media monitoring solution" besides put people like me who regularly point out that....
"The Fed is blowing up the M1 Inflation Rate at 36.8% based on their most recent three months data in their own H.6 report here!!!"
...in a re-education camp, or worse? Wouldn't it be more civil-like to just call up and say "George, can we do lunch?" Naw...no phat contracts in that...even though I think that'd be an almost custom off the shelf out of Clif...just sayin'...
