"When the Spirit of Truth comes,
he will guide you into all truth;
for he will not speak on his own authority,
but whatever he hears he will speak,
and he will declare to you the things that are to come."
(John 16:13)
Finally, let's not forget that popular culture is most likely mistaken in its notion that December 21, 2012 marks the end of the Mayan calendar. According to some experts, the calendar actually ends October 28th of this year, i.e., in a week's time:
Praying that the coming week passes without incident and the only mass scares are those which we do to ourselves for entertainment on what will hopefully be a happy Halloween...
As for the Elliott Wave count, a distinct five-wave pattern does appear to have developed between the early-May top and the October 4th low:
This wave count is already generally consistent with seasonality given a potentially important October low, but one still needs to remain alert as it is typically this late-October period after the full moon and into the new moon when historic panics occur.
Again, any such panic can take the form of a financial crisis and/or it can take the form of war. In this regard, I reviewed the two key historical examples today that I've been highlighting, i.e., the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and the 1973 Yom Kippur Arab/Israeli War.
With regard to the October full and new moons in 1962 and 1973, we find the following:
October 14, 1962 - A U-2 flying over western Cuba discovers missile sites. Photographs obtained by this flight provide hard evidence that Soviets have missiles in Cuba.
October 24, 1962 - Soviet ships en route to Cuba with questionable cargo either slow down or reverse their course except for one. Military forces go to DEFCON 2 the highest ever in U.S. history.
October 11th, 1973 - Israel attacks Syria from its positions on the Golan Heights. The Soviet Union's ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Dobrynin, tells U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger that Soviet airborne forces are on the alert to defend Damascus. Kissinger warns Dobrynin that if the Soviets send troops to the Middle East, the United States would as well.
October 24th, 1973 - A second cease-fire is put into effect, but fighting continues between Egypt and Israel. As a result, the Soviet Union threatens the United States that it will send troops to support the Egyptians. The United States puts its nuclear forces on a higher alert. The Soviet Union withdraws its threat the following day.
