Today's Day-Ring is based on a number of weeks stepping back in wonder.
What has occured to the Canadian Curator is - the world economic problem is one of energy - the world is in an energy-source transition era - to continue growth - more sources of energy need be found - the old energy soruces are not enough to sustain or allow for the old-model economy to grow out.
The other thing I found is the disaster facing us is one of perspective - An URBAN one.
So those who want to continue to live an urban/suburban lifestyle need to fix this in order to maintain and grow their urban living standards (which is crumbling beneath their feet).
Visit Max Keiser and his interview today - his interview deals with energy and why there is an energy crisis.
For further insight visit Chris Martensen.
And if you are not interested in the urban/suburban solving of the problem (Main Stream Media and our education system are in the main urban-directed affecting food distribution (our farmers) and how they have to feed the system (regulations) that feeds the city and large town dwellers.
If you want to live off the grid or just a plain self-sufficient community-oriented [or hermetic] lifestyle visit the Alt-market movement for how they are solving the problem.
This is one of many grassroots movements in the USA whose citizens are tired of the central government's spendthrift ways - useless programs using huge amounts of useless (fiat) money to prop up a dying (dead?) system.
In other words bureaucrats throwing money at problems to fix areas of the economy they have NO parctical experience in - in other words - the fix is in! - and I'm sure you know what that means.
This is Alt-market movement is one just waiting to happen in Canada.
Once people on a mass scale get that our (old) system here in Canada is dead as well (to risk a repeat - set up for the urban lifestyle to grow indefinitely [which it can't] the old dream way [now a nightmare because of bureaucratic interference in the market place {free-markets have been killed} then the voter/consumer/taxpayer will do what THEY have to do to feed their families and tell the bureaucrats (who are in it only to secure their own futures and futures of their families by leeching off us) to leave us alone -
When the sleeping giant in aggregate wakes - well, suffice it to say - I wouldn't want to be in the "leaders" hot seat right now.
History will be re-written to show what these parasites have done - let history tell that criminal story.
Go to www.rt.com the Keiser Report episode #214 as he interviews Gregor McDonald of
www.ChrisMartensen.com (this is a great site for how to get off the grid/safe haven investing (basically gold/silver/ future energy/agriculture [you don't eat - you don't live {support a family farm - or better buy one and feed yourself and a whole community}] - you just need to translate it into a Canadian context for yourself).
For an American version of off-the-grid or safe-haven suggestions -
Go to www.Alt-market.com
All the best to you and yours,

P.S. Over the next few days we'll check back in with what ol' Governor Mark Carney of BoC fame is up to as he works his magic for the Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland instead of focusing here at home - trust me - ha and his global cronies are about to get creamed - thank God its on Harpers watch - history will not look kindly on him.
btw I can see why you get no comments here
ReplyDeleteyou need to add "Anonymous comments" as allowed here and the option to use "Name/URL" as well, so people don't have to sign in to Google or whatever just to post a comment, and you need to disable the "word verification" which is a pain in the ass
If you start getting spammed with bogus comments you can always put them back on, but right now all you are doing is making it painful for people to comment here
I posted a comment with lots of links to the Kondratiev Wave, and it disappeared instantly, Blogger didn't like it, maybe too many links, so I will break it down:

Good short intro to the Kondratiev Wave

Graphics of the Kondratiev Wave in the USA, though the original theory was based on mostly European data, the Waves are based on prices of a basket of goods and services, and can be applied to any economy. Europe aligns closely with the USA, though the Wave for the entire global economy may vary a little, it will track the Western economies as well.
Use WIndows Photo Viewer or any photo manipulation software like PhotoShop or GIMP a great free one, to view them enlarged.
The second graphic link above has a write up on the Wave from Elliot Wave Group, which is a market theory derived from the Kondratiev Wave in part, it's at (scroll down on the page):

I only give credibility to the very long term predictions at Elliot Wave Group, and the "social mood" aspect of what they talk about (which refers to the demographic changes represented by the OWS movement ect today),
The Elliot Wave theory as used to trade stocks and commodities has probably sent many traders to the poorhouse, and Robert Prechter is very famous for his wrong market calls for his subscribers, many have lost their shirst following him, so I discount all that entirely, pay it no attention.

ReplyDeleteIan Gordon ia a great Canadian analyst from BC, though he is over 80 now and does not comment much anymore. He had the best presentation on the K Wave, but I can't find it any more, this is his new website with a much smaller write up. It has a very good information densce graphic which you can ponder for a while, much to absorb in that one.
I remember I had an .mp3 audio file from around 2005 where Gordon correctly predicted the current financial crisis and how the Banks would require bailouts etc, he is very very good.

ReplyDeleteFor some more indepth reading, many references which are very good. Tends to wander a bit, and is not entirely correct, but does cover a lot of ground.
I will next give you Bob Bronson's links, he is a Denver financial Fund manager who has spent 30 years studying and expanding on the Kondratiev Wave, and he is extremely accurate in his predictions, many years ahead of time, so I give him total respect. But you need to grasp the basics first, or you probably will have difficulty with what he discusses, it is much more in depth.
I recommend reading and studying those links in the order I posted them, and do zoom in on the graphics and spend a few minutes on each.
