Stock Market Crash Alert

Stocks dropped sharply into the close today with the DJIA falling 223 points:

Since the DJIA's reversal from the psychologically important 17000 mark in the wake of the (blood moon) lunar eclipse last Tuesday, the stock market has come down more than four percent.  This may be the opening salvo of selling in the greatest "panic" in human history.

As highlighted in this blog many times over the years, there is a tendency for mass mood to collapse in the autumn.  In fact, thirteen of the twenty worst single-day percentage drops in the DJIA occurred between late-September and early-November, i.e., 65% of the twenty largest daily drops in the stock market occurred in a time interval that constitutes less than 14% of the annual calendar:

Dow Jones Industrial Average: Worst Single-Day Declines (Dow Jones Industrial Average, percentage change) Percentage Date Decline __________________________________________ October 19, 1987 -22.61% October 28, 1929 -12.82% October 29, 1929 -11.73% November 6, 1929 -9.92% December 18, 1899 -8.72% August 12, 1932 -8.40% March 14, 1907 -8.29% October 26, 1987 -8.04% October 15, 2008 -7.87% July 21, 1933 -7.84% October 18, 1937 -7.75% December 1, 2008 -7.70% October 9, 2008 -7.33% February 1, 1917 -7.24% October 27, 1997 -7.16% October 5, 1932 -7.15% September 17, 2001 -7.13% September 24, 1931 -7.07% July 20, 1933 -7.07% September 29, 2008 -6.98%

More specifically, the tendency is for financial panics and waves of mass fear to develop after the full moon in the Hebrew month of Tishrei (this year this meant a lunar eclipse -it marks the beginning of the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot between Tishrei 15-22) and climax toward the end of the month and new moon.  This autumnal part of the lunar cycle, which usually occurs in October on the Gregorian Calendar, has witnessed the following panics:

13 October 1857 = Panic of 1857 = 25th of Tishrei, 5618

24 September 1869 = Black Friday in 1869 = 19th of Tishrei, 5630

29 October 1929 = 1929 Stock Market Crash = 25th of Tishrei, 5690

26 October 1962 = Cuban Missile Crisis = 28th of Tishrei, 5723

24 October 1973 = Yom Kippur Arab/Israeli War = 28th of Tishrei, 5734

19 October 1987 = 1987 Black Monday Crash = 26th of Tishrei, 5748

13 October 1989 = 1989 Friday the 13th Crash (+earthquake) = 14th of Tishrei, 5750

27 October 1997 = 1997 Asian Financial Crisis = 26th of Tishrei, 5758

24 October 2008 = 2008 Financial Crisis (max VIX) = 25th of Tishrei, 5769

[Note that I've included in the list above the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and October 1973 Arab/Israeli Yom Kippur War since, while not reflected in major stock market crashes, these historical crises were still effectively mass panics. This was signified on both occasions by the fact that the highest DEFCON nuclear alerts ever were reached during these crises, actually peaking right into the same time frame of the 7th lunar month as when the stock market crashes in 1929 and 1987 climaxed.]

Could the historical pattern be repeating this October of 2014?

Of course, all of this must be poppycock because the geniuses in economics and finance departments at colleges around the world are still teaching that markets are efficient, there are no predictable patterns (like the Elliott Wave Principle is based upon) and the stock market follows a "Random Walk".  Thus, it's perfectly OK for people to think and behave as selfish, hedonistic animals like "homo economicus" because, in the long-run, competitive market societies like America will gravitate toward "general equilibrium" (READ: "social harmony") and Pareto optimality (READ: maximum happiness for all).  So go ahead and place your faith in Mammon (the "god" of "in god we trust" on American currency should be small-cap) and worship the bronze Charging Bull on Wall Street (our version of the Golden Calf), because great minds have put together an incredibly sophisticated. mathematically consistent theoretical system called the neoclassical synTHESIS that just about proves greed is good and laissez-faire capitalism is the way to manage this world!

Well....I have an opposing THESIS.

For a decade I was schooled in this utter tripe and now it's my turn to school the Ayn Rand-loving herd that pontificates this FALSE RELIGION to the masses to reinforce the current manic peak of collective bipolar insanity we're in the midst of (yes Professor Langlois, I ended that sentence with a preposition!).

We are all part of a social organism and unless we heed the Golden Rule of LOVE that God commands, in the long-run, a world driven by selfishness and greed will gravitate toward general disequilibrium of unprecedented historical scale, what one might call an Elliott Wave Grand Supercycle peak, soon after which the system-as-whole will collapse upon itself or, more specifically, CRASH....most probably in October when the mood of our insane species typically breaks down.

Of course, who am I to tell you all about how the real world works?  I'm up against the greatest minds in the world - esteemed professors, eminent scholars,  the Who's Who scientific establishment ruling modern times - while I'm just some manic-depressive nutcase who's so crazy he thinks he might be Jesus Christ returned!  I'm supposed to better know REALITY?! LOL!!!

Well....I do, because I bothered to actually take a look at it.

Let's all be thankful the reversal in the stock market from Dow 17000 thus far has been constrained to typical Wall Street insanity.  As it is, the projection per the historical pattern is for a panic climax into early next week (Tishrei 25-28 is October 19-22 this year).  I deeply hope and pray that, should this unfold, it's simply a '29-style financial panic and the inevitable onset of the next economic recession (well, it's rather obvious we'd be heading into the second Great Depression this time around).  If the panic starts to take the form of a geopolitical crisis, i.e., WAR, then it could very well be that DEFCON 1 will be reached next week.  In that case, all bets are off, and everyone might as well accept Jesus into their hearts, beg for God's mercy and head for the hills as quickly as possible...

This Week's Lunar Eclipse, Autumn Panics & God's Harvest

And God said, "Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years." [Genesis 1:14]

“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” [Luke 21:25-28] 

This week, on October 7-8, there will be a total lunar eclipse.

Does this eclipse portend the crash of Western civilization? There's compelling reason to think so.

In recent weeks or months, you might have caught Pastor John Hagee, Rabbi Mark Biltz and/or Rabbi Jonathan Cahn on television or elsewhere discussing how a "tetrad" (4 consecutive) of blood moons (total lunar eclipses) are occurring in 2014 and 2015 that will coincide with the Jewish holidays of Passover and Sukkot during the spring and autumn, respectively.

We are now approaching the second lunar eclipse in the tetrad series on October 8th next week.



According to the Hebrew calendar, this next eclipse is occurring at the beginning of a Jewish "Sabbatical year" called a Shemitah (the lunar-based Hebrew calendar effectively starts in September on the Gregorian calendar).  According to biblical tradition, this year is supposed to be set aside by Jewish faithful for serving God and during it land must rest and crops not be planted.  Hence, the harvest gathered in the autumn at the beginning of the Sabbatical year is extra important since it will be used for two years.

The lunar eclipse this week marks the beginning of Sukkot, the Jewish harvest festival. Sukkot runs seven day, i..e, from October 8th to 15th this year on the Gregorian calendar.  On the Hebrew calendar this is from Tishrei 15 to Tishrei 22.

As explained in my Master's Thesis on "Manic-Depressive Man" and repeatedly highlighted in this blog, there is a seasonal tendency for "panics" to occur in mass mood during late-Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar which is usually October on the Gregorian calendar. Typically these waves of collective fear show up on Wall Street in the form of financial panics.

Incredibly, as discovered by Chris Carolan, author of the award-winning 1998 article written, Autumn Panics: A Calendar Phenomenon, the 1929 and 1987 stock market crashes climaxed into the same day on the Hebrew calendar, i.e., the 28th day of the 7th lunar month (Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar):





I took Carolan's discovery a step further utilizing an online Hebrew date converter. What I found is that the tendency is for mass panics to develop between the full moon and new moon in the second half of the 7th month on the lunar calendar which is generally equivalent to the period between Tishrei 15 and Tishrei 30 on the Jewish calendar (usually late-October on the Gregorian calendar). During this annual time window, the following major "panics" took place:

13 October 1857 = Panic of 1857 = 25th of Tishrei, 5618

24 September 1869 = Black Friday in 1869 = 19th of Tishrei, 5630

29 October 1929 = 1929 Stock Market Crash = 25th of Tishrei, 5690

26 October 1962 = Cuban Missile Crisis = 28th of Tishrei, 5723

24 October 1973 = Yom Kippur Arab/Israeli War = 28th of Tishrei, 5734

19 October 1987 = 1987 Black Monday Crash = 26th of Tishrei, 5748

13 October 1989 = 1989 Friday the 13th Crash = 14th of Tishrei, 5750

27 October 1997 = 1997 Asian Financial Crisis = 26th of Tishrei, 5758

24 October 2008 = 2008 Financial Crisis = 25th of Tishrei, 5769

Note that I've included in the list above the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and October 1973 Arab/Israeli Yom Kippur War since, while not reflected in major stock market crashes, these historical crises were still effectively mass panics. This was signified on both occasions by the fact that the highest DEFCON nuclear alerts ever were reached during these crises, actually peaking right into the same time frame of the 7th lunar month as when the stock market crashes in 1929 and 1987 climaxed.

In 2014, Tishrei 15-30 on the Hebrew calendar will fall on October 8-23 on the Gregorian calendar. Thus, with the lunar eclipse this week, we are entering the period when panics tend to kick-off according to mass mood seasonality. If a mass panic develops, it may climax into October 20-23 as the historical pattern suggests.

That a lunar eclipse could seemingly "trigger" a coming panic should come as no surprise to anyone who frequents this blog.

We are now entering a "Puetz eclipse crash window" with the lunar eclipse this week that will be followed by a solar eclipse on on October 23rd.

"Puetz attempted to discover if eclipses and market crashes were somehow connected. Without discussing our own opinion on the potential connection between astronomical configurations and market timing, let's simply relate to you the basic findings discussed by Puetz. He emphasized that he is not contending that full moons close to solar eclipses cause market crashes. But he does conclude that a full moon in general and a lunar (eclipse) full moon close to solar eclipses, in particular, seem to be the triggering device that allows for the rapid transformation of investor psychology from manic greed to paranoia. He asks what the odds are that eight of the greatest market crashes in history would accidentally fall within a time period of six days before to three days after a full moon that occurred within six weeks of a solar eclipse? His answer is that for all eight crashes to accidentally fall within the required intervals would be .23 raised to the eighth power less than one chance in 127,000."

". . .Puetz) used eight previous crashes in various markets from the Holland Tulip Mania in 1637 through the Tokyo crash in 1990. He noted that market crashes tend to be lumped near the full moons that are also lunar eclipses. In fact, he states, the greatest number of crashes start after the first full moon after a solar eclipse when that full moon is also a lunar eclipse . . Once the panic starts, Puetz notes, it generally lasts from two to four weeks. The tendency has been for the markets to peak a few days ahead of the full moon, move flat to slightly lower --waiting for the full moon to pass. Then on the day of the full moon or slightly after, the brunt of the crash hits the marketplace."

Notably, The 1929 stock market crash occurred with a Puetz crash window around a solar eclipse on November 1st of that year and the 1987 panic occurred in connection with a solar eclipse on September 23rd and lunar eclipse on October 7th in that year.

All in all, based upon seasonal patterns in mass mood swings, there is a danger the world will experience a mass panic (upset of collective beliefs and expectations) starting around the time of the lunar eclipse this week and climaxing into October 20-23.

What form might any approaching panic take?

This panic could take the form of a global financial meltdown and/or even a nuclear third world war.

Dow 17000 & The Peak of Western Civilization?

Note that the lunar eclipses in 2014 parallel those in 32AD when Christ might have been crucified (although April 3rd, 33AD looks like a better candidate):

In 2014, the Hebrew calendar lines up with the Gregorian calendar in 32AD the same way as well.

Leave in the spring and return in the fall maybe?

Kremlin Astrology Update: Ring Of Fire Solar Eclipse & Upcoming Lunar Eclipse + Rare Venus Transit + Pluto Square Uranus

In the context of my Kremlin Astrology hypothesis, a particular region where events seem to unfold according to the stars is the Balkans, particularly with regard to Serbia.

This may be because, if I'm right that Moscow is executing a long-term plan according to astrology geared for a war with the Western powers, then Serbia is a strategic linchpin in the rivalry between Russia and NATO. My guess is that the struggle over Kosovo, which is an 'Orthodox' touchstone for Russian and Slavic nationalists, may be used as a flash-point for direct military conflict between Russia and NATO at the beginning of World War Three. (Of course, Syria, Iran & Korea are all possible flash-points for this as well.)

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev & Prime Minister Vladimir Putin receive the Saint Sava award from Serbian Orthodox Church

One should note accordingly that with the "ring of fire" annular solar eclipse watched around the world yesterday, a Serb ultra-nationalist, Tomislav Nikolić, won the run-off election for the new president of Serbia:



This could mean a new fight between Serbia and Kosovo in the near-future that could easily pull in Russia and NATO on opposing sides.

Next up is a total lunar eclipse on June 4th immediately followed by an extremely rare Venus transit of the Sun:





This will come just as a rare, and purportedly ominous, square between Pluto and Uranus takes shape that will be exact on June 24th:

Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn is the most significant and most challenging planetary influence in a generation. These planets came together in the mid 1960′s and will oppose each other from 2045. There are seven exact Uranus Pluto squares between June 2012 and 2015. So for the next five years we are living through a major generational upheaval.

AN ASTROLOGICAL SIGN OF SATAN?

The upcoming Venus transit of the Sun has certain characteristics that suggest it may constitute an occult sign of Lucifer, i.e., Satan.

As noted above, there's an 8-year cycle of Venus conjunctions with the Sun that when mapped out draws a pentagram:



Pentagrams are commonly associated with Satanism:

Satanists use a pentagram with two points up, often inscribed in a double circle, with the head of a goat inside the pentagram. This is referred to as the Sigil of Baphomet. [Wikipedia]

Furthermore, the planet Venus represents Lucifer:

Traditionally, Lucifer is a name that in English generally refers to the Devil or Satan, especially in reference to his status as a fallen angel. In Latin, from which the English word is derived, Lucifer (as a noun) means "light-bearer" (from the words lucem ferre). It was the name given to the Morning Star, i.e. the planet Venus when seen at dawn. Use of the name "Lucifer" for the Devil stems from applying to the Devil what Isaiah 14:3–20 says of a king of Babylon whom it calls Helel (Shining One), a Hebrew word that refers to the Day Star or Morning Star (the Latin term for which is lucifer). [Wikipedia]

Does this mean that the upcoming Venus transit of the Sun is going to coincide with events associated with Satanic forces overtly taking control of the world?

It's possible.

Consider what's occurred with past 8-year cycles when the pentagram has formed in the paths between Venus inferior conjunctions.

Below is a table of Venus inferior conjunctions with the Sun:

The five columns represent the five points of the Pentagram star formation in the path of Venus transits of the Sun. Note that the points in each column are returned to every eight years.

While the majority of dates appear to be irrelevant, there's some points that are noteworthy.

The transits in June of 1988 and June of 1996 correlated with two important political junctures in Russia separated by eight years. In June of 1988 the Central Party of the Soviet Union held its 19th Party Conference, the first such gathering up to that time since 1942. At the conference, Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev initiated the democratic political reforms that eventually led to the breakup of the USSR. In June of 1996, Boris Yeltsin was reelected Russia's president in a close contest with Communist candidate Gennady Zyuganov. Yeltsin was purportedly sickly and unpopular yet somehow won a second term during which liberalization in Russia met its end. Thus, this eight-year 'Venus pentagram cycle' involved two key points marking the beginning and end of liberal reform in Russia.

A second noteworthy pentagram cycle of Venus-Sun conjunctions started in August 1991 and ended in August 1999. In August 1991 there was a KGB-staged coup by hardliners in Moscow. This coup purportedly failed leading to a dismantlement of the KGB and the eventual breakup of the Soviet Union. On August 23, 1991, the exact date of the inferior conjunction of Venus with the Sun, the iron statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the KGB (whose birthday was on 9/11), was brought down:

Then, in August 1999, when the Venus pentagram cycle completed, Vladimir Putin became Prime Minister of Russia marking the beginning of counter-reform that would eventually lead to a neo-KGB state as it is today.

Given that key political reversals in Moscow are associated with 8-year pentagram cycles of Venus inferior conjunctions with the Sun, one wonders if there's anything planned for the upcoming, rare direct transit in June.

Dow 12K, Lunar Eclipse & Korea

In the wake of the 12/10 total lunar eclipse, the DJIA reversed from the psychologically important 12000 mark last week.

Now a historical shock may be taking the form of a Korean crisis as Kim Jong Il has reportedly died. The South Korean military has gone on high alert. The possible role of Kremlin Astrology should be kept in mind similar to my erroneous warnings around this time last year.

6/15 Lunar Eclipse Crash Alert

On Wednesday of this week the second longest total lunar eclipse of the century will occur, where the moon passes directly in front of the center of the Earth's shadow (more at Wiki).



The last lunar eclipse closer to the center of the earth's shadow was on July 16, 2000, and the next central total lunar eclipse will be on July 27, 2018. This lunar eclipse is part of a rare solar-lunar-solar eclipse series that began with a partial solar eclipse on June 1st.

As noted in recent blogs, in May a very significant and rare planetary alignment occurred. This planetary alignment may have correlated with a stock market turning point into Primary Wave Three down of the Grand Supercycle bear market according to the Elliott Wave Principle....what I've dubbed the 'Apocalypse Wave':



Importantly, stock market analysts have noted that lunar eclipses can act as 'triggers' to crashes.

Consider the following excerpt from Peter Eliades online "Current Observations":

We seldom use much newsletter space for the ideas of others, but the theories we are about to present fit together so well, we believe you will find them as interesting as we do. The two researchers are Steve Puetz (pronounced "pits") and Chris Carolan. Chris just won the 1998 Charles H. Dow Award for his original research and the complete article is offered on his website at http://www.calendarresearch.com/ . The research by Puetz was first noted in our October 10, 1995 newsletter. Here is what we wrote:

"Puetz attempted to discover if eclipses and market crashes were somehow connected. Without discussing our own opinion on the potential connection between astronomical configurations and market timing, let's simply relate to you the basic findings discussed by Puetz. He emphasized that he is not contending that full moons close to solar eclipses cause market crashes. But he does conclude that a full moon in general and a lunar (eclipse) full moon close to solar eclipses, in particular, seem to be the triggering device that allows for the rapid transformation of investor psychology from manic greed to paranoia. He asks what the odds are that eight of the greatest market crashes in history would accidentally fall within a time period of six days before to three days after a full moon that occurred within six weeks of a solar eclipse? His answer is that for all eight crashes to accidentally fall within the required intervals would be .23 raised to the eighth power less than one chance in 127,000."

". . .Puetz) used eight previous crashes in various markets from the Holland Tulip Mania in 1637 through the Tokyo crash in 1990. He noted that market crashes tend to be lumped near the full moons that are also lunar eclipses. In fact, he states, the greatest number of crashes start after the first full moon after a solar eclipse when that full moon is also a lunar eclipse . . Once the panic starts, Puetz notes, it generally lasts from two to four weeks. The tendency has been for the markets to peak a few days ahead of the full moon, move flat to slightly lower --waiting for the full moon to pass. Then on the day of the full moon or slightly after, the brunt of the crash hits the marketplace."

An example of this phenomenon occurred in the wake of a manic stock market peak with the Harmonic Convergence planetary alignment in August of 1987. Following a lunar eclipse on October 7th of that year an all-out crash in equity prices unfolded climaxing in the Black Monday panic on October 19th:



While in 1987 the 'mass panic' was constrained mainly to Wall Street, in 1990 this phenomenon played out again, but this time it involved an outbreak of war. With a planetary alignment with a solar eclipse on June 22nd, stock prices reversed after peaking at a closing high of 2999.75 on July 16th and 17th (yes....the DJIA closed two days in a row a quarter point below the psychologically important 3000 mark, never closing above 3000 until the following year):



Precisely at the top, Saddam Hussein made a speech threatening Kuwait. With the solar eclipse/planetary alignment on July 22nd, Iraq started massing troops on Kuwait. Then came a lunar eclipse on August 6th.

In the Market Watch section of the July 16th, 1990 issue of Barron's, there appeared an excerpt from the newsletter of financial astrologer Arch Crawford. It read in part:

"...Aug. 6 (Lunar Eclipse squares Mars + Pluto). Expect some major catastrophe on that last one, Aug. 2-7, as something explodes in a big way... Astronomically similar to the Chernobyl disaster..."

On August 2nd, Iraq invaded Kuwait precipitating the Persian Gulf crisis and by October of that year the DJIA had fallen more than 20 percent from the 3000 mark.

The parallels of the current situation to what happened in 1987 and 1990 are significant. First off, there was a major planetary alignment in May of this year similar to what occurred in August of 1987 and July of 1990. Secondly, stock prices have reversed after nearing the 13K mark and, as of Friday, the DJIA closed below the psychologically important 12,000 mark. Third, a lunar eclipse is about to occur that may act as a trigger point to a crash in mass mood.

An issue that remains is whether or not any forthcoming crash in mass mood takes the form of negative historical events like Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Hopefully if any negative developments are about to unfold, this will be constrained to financial and economic affairs. However, given that the potential Grand Supercycle scale of the next major leg down in stock prices, one has to be mindful of the possibility of literally apocalyptic events.

God have mercy.

Lunar Eclipses and Man's Insanity: From the Cold War to the Hot War?

I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” [Revelation 6:12-17]

A total lunar eclipse will occur on December 21st, the winter solstice, that will be visible in the U.S. The last time a lunar eclipse occurred on the winter solstice was December 1991. Shortly thereafter, on Christmas day, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned and the Soviet flag came down and Russian flag went up over the Kremlin. This signified the collapse of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War.

STRATEGIC DECEPTION

With the end of the Soviet Union, the world embarked on a twenty year honeymoon between East and West during which everyone has come to believe that Russia and China do not engage in long-term planning, strategic deception and military force to dominate their enemies. Nevertheless, the British and French parliaments unanimously endorsed the Munich Accord, but this did not mean 'peace for their time' as Neville Chamberlain infamously declared.



What has really happened is that humankind has been utterly deceived. As Anatoliy Golitsyn forewarned, the West started being told "New Lies For Old" (1987) with the East's seeming forfeit of the Cold War.

With the upcoming lunar eclipse, there is reason to believe the long-term plan of the "Old Enemy" is nearing the endgame and the West's checkmate, i.e., the resurgence of "communism" and Eastern totalitarianism and the beginning of the Hot War. Even with all the evidence of this diabolical plot unfolding according to "Kremlin Astrology", no one sees the underlying conspiracy. Thus, the strategic objective of defeating the Western society is near.

A potential ignition point at this juncture is the Korean Peninsula where the demilitarized zone (DMZ) separating North and South Korea is the last active battle front between the Communist East and Capitalist West (no peace treaty was ever signed in the the wake of the Korean War).

Recent news is that South Korea will replay a military drill on the West Sea island of Yeonpyeong that led to a North Korean artillery barrage of the island. North Korea has threatened to strike again should the drill occur, except this time South Korea is prepared to hit back hard upon which North Korea vows to hit back harder, even with nuclear force.

Aggressive diplomacy is underway to get the Koreas to back away from a new conflict, including a visit to Pyongyang by former congressman Bill Richardson, so it is unknown how this will all play out, but the timing of the current crisis relative to the upcoming lunar eclipse seems telltale.

MASS PSYCHOLOGY DYNAMICS

Lunar eclipses can be associated with major reversals in mass mood per the discovery of Steve Puetz:

Several years back, a cycle watcher named Steve Puetz attempted to see if eclipses and market crashes were somehow related. He studied eight of the greatest crashes in financial history, from the Holland Tulip Mania of 1637 to the Nikkei of 1990. He found that market crashes tend to occur near full moons, and that the greatest number of crashes start after the first full moon after a solar eclipse, when that full moon is also a lunar eclipse. Puetz found that all eight crashes occurred six days before to three days after a full moon that occurred within six weeks of a solar eclipse. The odds of that being a coincidence, Puetz calculated, are less than 1 in 127,000.

Puetz was not saying that so-called "Puetz windows" always lead to crashes, but that if a crash is going to occur, a Puetz window would be the likely time frame in which it would happen. Puetz windows tend to occur every year or two, while crashes are rare events. (SOURCE)

He....concludes that a full moon in general and a lunar (eclipse) full moon close to solar eclipses, in particular, seem to be the triggering device that allows for the rapid transformation of investor psychology from manic greed to paranoia (SOURCE).

The potential for a dramatic upset of collective confidence seems particularly high in the near-future given the Dow Jones Composite index appears to be peaking around the psychologically significant 4000 mark as over-viewed in a recent blog:



On a few occasions reversals from thousand marks in the DJ Composite have coincided with significant historical shocks similar to the same phenomenon with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) as highlighted in my thesis:






Meanwhile, as noted my "Apocalypse Next?" blog, the Korean KOSPI index may be peaking just above the 2000 mark:



As examined in my recent blog, "Apocalypse Next?", at this juncture any reversal in mass mood could be of "Grand Supercycle" scale in the context of the Elliott Wave Principle:



That there is the potential for a historic crash in the coming days is further indicated by a new Hindenburg Omen signal registered this week:

Confirmed Hindenburg Omens are very rare. There have been only 28 confirmed Hindenburg Omen signals over the past 25 years. December 2010's is the 29th. This is amazing when you consider that during that time span, there were roughly 6,400 trading days. Of those 6,400 trading days where it was possible to generate a confirmed official Hindenburg Omen, only 197 (3.1 percent) generated one, clustering into 28 confirmed potential stock market crash signals.

If we define a crash as a 15% decline, of the previous 28 confirmed Hindenburg Omen signals, eight (28.5 percent ) were followed by financial system threatening, life-as-we-know-it threatening stock market crashes. Three (10.7 percent) more were followed by stock market selling panics (10% to 14.9% declines). Four more (14.3 percent) resulted in sharp declines (8% to 9.9% drops). Six (21.4 percent) were followed by meaningful declines (5% to 7.9%), five (17.8 percent) saw mild declines (2.0% to 4.9%), and two (7.1 percent) were failures, with subsequent declines of 2.0% or less. Put another way, there is a 28 percent probability that a stock market crash -- the big one -- will occur after we get a confirmed (more than one in a cluster) Hindenburg Omen. There is a 39.2 percent probability that at least a panic sell-off will occur. There is a 53.5 percent probability that a sharp decline greater than 8.0 % will occur, and there is a 74.9 percent probability that a stock market decline of at least 5 percent will occur. Only one out of roughly 14 times will this signal fail.

Thus, the ingredients are in place in mass psychology for a historic upset of collective confidence. This upset could take the form of a geopolitical shock, of which one appears possible on the Korean Peninsula in the coming days.

THE GLOBAL BIPOLAR DISORDER

The above considerations all fit rather precisely into my thesis that man as a species is literally insane and suffering from some sort of "Global Bipolar Disorder". In the context of this collective insanity, swings between mass mania and depression are associated with shifts in global dominance between the libertarian, decentralized West and authoritarian, centralized East:

Following an Elliott Wave Supercycle peak of man's creative mania into 1929, the subsequent cyclical collapse in mass mood involved the October '29 stock market crash, the Great Depression and the relative rise of totalitarian/collectivist powers in the East, i.e., Hitler's Germany, Mussolini's Italy, Tojo's Japan and Stalin's Russia, via the second world war. Relative Eastern dominance peaked into the early-1940s when Hitler had overrun continental Europe and the Axis powers were at their zenith of power. After that low a new Supercycle upswing in mass mood got underway involving the rise of American economic and military global supremacy. Over the last twenty years, with the seeming collapse of the Soviet Union, the dominance of the West reached a new historical extreme...

Thus, one should not be surprised if the onset of the "Apocalypse Wave" collapse in mass mood is associated with an outbreak of conflict between the Communist East and Capitalist West on the Korean Peninsula.

As I've noted before, that one of the initial targets in such a conflict is "Seoul", which means "capital" in Korean, seems historically symbolic in that what is afflicted, what is being handed over to the evil of destruction and tyranny after an era of creation and liberty, is the SOUL of humanity. Why is this the case? Because for falling into the temptation of human nature, our species is literally being delivered to the Evil One:



THE CURE

So what is the solution to this globally insane predicament?



I believe I've returned to this ill-fated world to act as a sort of "soul doctor" for man and help redeem our species from its insane misjudgment of reality. The truth is that in order for there to be peace and harmony in this world, we need to go against our selfish nature and let God's compassionate love for all lead our way. After all, the new reality derived from the revolutionary creative development of human society to-date is extreme INTERDEPENDENCY such that not loving others as ourselves is ultimately suicidal, a point I'm afraid is about to become all too clear.

Let go and let God!

Apocalypse Next?

I spent the last 20 years trying to alert this world to the looming apocalyptic threat of the Communist East unleashing an all-out third world war against the Capitalist West. I have sought to explain this in terms of the deceptive strategies of the East, the cyclical historical patterns of "bipolar" collective insanity in human history, and the ancient prophetic revelations made to this world. I've literally ruined my own life in my efforts with respect to sacrificing any hopes I might have had with regard to having my own family, a successful career and a sound reputation. Why? Because if the truth is not dealt with, THERE IS NO FUTURE FOR ANY OF US.

The results from my self-sacrificing efforts to save humankind from itself are pitiful to-date. This blog and my web site get maybe 100 visits a day. I have all of nine people following my blog, virtually no one commenting on or sharing the ideas expressed here and no one around me in terms of family and friends believes what I've been telling them such that self-preserving measures are taken. Thus, we are apparently hopelessly doomed. Has everything I've been doing been to no avail?

While I could be angry with my fellow human beings for their incapacity to comprehend what I've been explaining to them all these years, it's clear to me that the problem does not lie so much with the failings of the creatures around me as with how these creatures have been shaped by their Creator such that I'm caught up in mission impossible. Why is this? Why has God made it seemingly IMPOSSIBLE to save you all from self-destruction? Why is this species of man so incurably insane and suicidally out-of-touch with reality?

I get the whole BS idea that I'm projecting on to society what is in fact true of myself bit, but it's clear as day to me that I'm generally right and the world is catastrophically wrong and the only thing separating everyone else from the reality I'm dealing with is time. The critical question is thus: Who's truly engaging in "make believe"....myself or everyone else?

Well....the apocayptic answer may be next...

An Apocalypse (Greek: Ἀποκάλυψις Apokálypsis; "lifting of the veil" or "revelation") is a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, i.e. the veil to be lifted. In a rather common-sensical way the term is associated with an eschatological final battle, the Armageddon, and the idea of an end of the world due to out of time. This perceptions may better be related to the phrase apokalupsis eschaton, literally "revelation at [or of] the end of the æon, or age". In Christianity The Apocalypse of John is the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible. (Wikipedia)

As I've been warning for the past year-and-a-half, the next major leg down in the stock market and associated mass mood is likely to be what I've dubbed the "Apocalypse Wave". The reason I believe this is that cyclical fluctuations in stock prices and underlying popular sentiment abide by a fractal pattern known as the "Elliott Wave":




Robert Prechter has made a career and whole new school of thought called "Socionomics" based upon this discovery.

According to the Elliott Wave Principle, the first major leg down in the largest wave of a Grand Supercycle degree bear market occurred between October 2007 and March 2009 when the DJIA fell from the 14000 level to below 7000, more than a 50% drop. The rebound since the low point constitutes "Primary Wave 2" after which Primary Wave 3 down unfolds which involves the bulk of the Grand Supercycle downside move. The severity of the anticipated downswing is accurately depicted in the following projection from Robert Prechter for an eventual drop in the DJIA to below the 1000 mark, i.e., potentially a 90%+ collapse in stock prices and a massive associated breakdown mass mood:



How could such a catastrophic collapse in collective beliefs and expectations occur?

That's what I've been desperately seeking to warn you all about for the past 20 years after I had an apocalyptic vision of the future. (Note that after sharing this vision with Prechter I had a job offer rescinded). What I subsequently realized is that the Kremlin has been busy utterly misleading the world in order to set the stage for a surprise third world war that will destroy America and open the way for the Communist East to control the world.

One of the key facets of this diabolical, literally Satanic plot is that Russia did away with "Communism" as a bogus ideological front in order to replace this lie with a new one: Christianity. The psychopaths running the Kremlin actually intend to enforce their authoritarian rule in the name of "God" and make their leader out to be Tsar of Tsars, i.e., King of Kings, i.e., Christ incarnate.

The best wrench I can throw into their strategic equation, which appears to be working swimmingly well, is that, in fact, I am Christ not their misleader Vladimir Putin or whomever else they seek to utilize to maintain power. Of course, since no one believes me, the evil plot of the "Old Enemy" remains unexposed and, as far as I can tell, Evil is going to succeed.

With regard to when the final conflict between Good and Evil could potentially begin, I can't help but focus in on the total lunar eclipse that will occur with the winter solstice this year. The last time a lunar eclipse occurred on a winter solstice was December 1991, and that evening the Soviet flag came down and Russian flag went up over the Kremlin signifying the collapse of the Soviet Union. A few days later, on Christmas, Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as Moscow's misleading forfeiture of the Cold War took hold:



Why would such a key historical juncture be timed according to a lunar eclipse? Because the megalomaniacs in Moscow are so audacious in their manipulation of world history that they are actually doing so according to astrology similar to what Hitler did in waging World War Two.

Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Composite index appears to be peaking around the psychologically significant 4000 mark while, quite tellingly IMHO, the Korean KOSPI index is capping the 2000 mark. This represents the epitome of misplaced, false hope in Mammon rather than God.







This all comes as tensions on the Korean Peninsula seems ready to give way on the final battle line between the Communist East and Capitalist West. As implied by my "Global Bipolar Disorder" hypothesis, the Grand Supercycle crash in mass mood could very well involve an outbreak of war in Korea as the final conflict between Good and Evil gets underway. But make no mistake about it....the global war about to erupt was not spontaneous. The cataclysm that is the prophetic "Apocalypse" is the outcome of man's machinations against himself because people consistently fail to abide in love and truth and place their sincere faith in God and belief in Christ.

When will people start to change their minds so that humankind can be pulled back from the brink of complete self-destruction?

Oh well....I need to post this blog hurriedly because my unemployment just ran out, thanks to Americans' seemingly endless selfishness, and I can't pay my cable bill such that my internet is set for shutoff...never mind that my credit cards are maxed out with three in arrears to the tune of more than I can pay for years to come, I don't have a working toilet anymore and my heat doesn't work properly. But that's all well and good because I'm going to be kicked out of my place soon enough anyways.

Is anybody willing to make a sacrifice of any sort whatsoever for their own salvation in this world? Or is everyone wholly devoted to cooperating in their own destruction such that there is no hope at all? Why in all this time HAS NO ONE OFFERED TO HELP ME in my efforts to-date?! Why will no one lift a finger or spend a penny for truth and righteousness essential to our very survival?!! You have no future if I'm right and nothing is done to correct the situation, so why does everyone continue to engage in suicidal make-believe?!!!

The Apocalypse Wave has begun... (NOT!)

In late-April I posted a blog, "Has The Apocalypse Wave Begun?", that warned as follows:

If, indeed, the Elliott Wave Primary Wave 2 peak has just been reached in the Grand Supercycle bear market and Primary Wave 3 down, the "Apocalypse Wave", is next, what does this mean? Well, just consider the following chart presented in Robert Prechter's Elliott Wave Theorist January investment letter projecting the stock market's course over the next year or so:



That is not a misprint. The Elliott Wave Principle suggests a 90%+ drop in stock prices, to Dow 1000 or lower, lies ahead.

Since that post the stock market has dramatically reversed.

This week, in the wake of the 6/26 lunar eclipse, the DJIA broke below the psychologically important 10,000 mark and, along with the Dow Transports, broke to new lows in the current wave down. According to the Elliott Wave Principle and Dow Theory, this confirms that mass mood is in the context of Primary wave 3 down in the Grand Supercycle bear market. In other words, the "Apocalypse Wave" is almost certainly now underway.

Here are some charts that show where we stand from Elliott Wave International (where subscribers have access to regular, in-depth analysis to track the unfolding wave patterns on a day-to-day basis):







As I've been noting in this blog, there is some sort of connection between astroharmonics and Elliott Wave patterns in mass "e-motion" (energy in motion). Right now, we are in the wake of the lunar eclipse conjunct Pluto and approaching the "Av 1" total solar eclipse on July 11th. With the Puetz eclipse crash window the DJIA dropped almost 10 percent. While the "window" closed this week three days after the lunar eclipse, that can be misleading. For example, in 1987, following a lunar eclipse on October 7th, the stock market crashed over 13 days into just before the new moon when the bottom was reached. A similar pattern along with the lunar cycle occurred with the 1929 and 1997 financial panics. Thus, even though the stock market is deeply oversold and ripe for a bounce here, the potential for the bottom to fall out remains, especially given how full-fledged crashes usually occur in the context of deeply oversold conditions. If, indeed, we are in the midst of an Elliott Wave Minor wave-3 during Primary wave-3 down, then much lower lows likely lie ahead in the near-term. However, the potential for a crash does seem limited given that seasonally this is not the typical time of the year for straight-up financial panics which most often take place during the "Fall".

The possibility remains that the form negative, destructive mass e-motion (energy in motion) takes could be a geopolitical shock, i.e., war. While the potentially explosive situations in the Mideast and on the Korean Peninsula appear to have simmered down, the possibility of an unexpected, historic upset must be deemed very high in the context of the current wave patterns and astroharmonics, particularly given "Kremlin Astrology".

UPDATE - Just after writing this blog I was checking charts at Yahoo Finance and saw the following:



Is this a portent of some sort?

This would normally seems absurdly improbable, but what is notable is how the current situation is parallel to right before 9/11. Just before the terrorist attacks in September 2001, the DJIA broke below the psychologically important 10,000 mark and there was a "Death Cross" when the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average. The exact same sort of market pattern is unfolding now:



Coincidence?

6/26 Lunar Eclipse Conjunct Pluto and the Cardinal Climax

The world might not have to wait for December 21st, 2012 and the end of the Mayan calendar for prophetic doom:





The next few months involve an astrological "Cardinal Climax" conducive to the crash portion of the "Apocalypse Wave" I believe is now unfolding. The kickoff might be a lunar eclipse conjunct Pluto on June 26th that is currently relevant:


(The start of the four cardinal signs are represented by the thicker black lines dividing the zodiac diagram into four parts. Note the alignments along the cardinal sign axes above....that's what a "Cardinal Climax" means.)



From a recent interview with renown financial astrologer, Arch Crawford:

Q: Does energy from difficult alignments reveal itself in ways that go beyond financial markets?

A: In April 1986 we had a Lunar Eclipse conjunct Pluto. The close proximity with Pluto is rare. So we told subscribers, "If you don't feel this one, you're not alive!" We were prophetic, as the April 26th Chernobyl accident raised radiation levels worldwide.

By the way, we have another Lunar Eclipse conjunct with Pluto on June 26. Pluto “rules” nuclear power, debt, interest rates, and the use of force, say the astrologers. Maybe June 26 is the de facto start of the Cardinal Climax.

In November 1989, we observed a Saturn conjunct with Neptune, both opposite Jupiter to the day. This alignment happens every hundreds of years; i.e., it is extremely rare. Several days later the Berlin Wall fell.

In our July 1990 we told subscribers, “This will be one of the worst days of the century. There will be coercion, the use of force, a large explosion and heartlessness or cruelty August 2-7." On Aug. 2, Saddam Hussein unexpectedly attacked Kuwait. What alarmed me was the Lunar Eclipse forming another Grand Cross, this time with Mars opposite Pluto.

In the Market Watch section of the July 16th, 1990 issue of 'Barron's', there is an excerpt from the Crawford's investment letter:

"...Aug. 6 (Lunar Eclipse squares Mars + Pluto). Expect some major catastrophe on that last one, Aug. 2-7, as something explodes in a big way... Astronomically similar to the Chernobyl disaster..."

Also note that Russia invaded Georgia with a solar/lunar eclipse pair and square of Mars and Pluto in the first part of August in 2008, a similar configuration to what occurred with the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 and Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait.


Given the historical pattern, the world bears close watching given the upcoming lunar eclipse conjunct Pluto ("Pluto" representing nuclear energy, i.e., "Pluto"nium) along with the accompanying total solar eclipse on July 11th (the 1st of Av on the Hebrew calendar....a potentially prophetic point I highlighted with a similar solar eclipse last year).



We are now entering the "Puetz eclipse crash window" associated with the upcoming lunar eclipse.

Several years back, a cycle watcher named Steve Puetz attempted to see if eclipses and market crashes were somehow related. He studied eight of the greatest crashes in financial history, from the Holland Tulip Mania of 1637 to the Nikkei of 1990. He found that market crashes tend to occur near full moons, and that the greatest number of crashes start after the first full moon after a solar eclipse, when that full moon is also a lunar eclipse. Puetz found that all eight crashes occurred six days before to three days after a full moon that occurred within six weeks of a solar eclipse. The odds of that being a coincidence, Puetz calculated, are less than 1 in 127,000.

Puetz was not saying that so-called "Puetz windows" always lead to crashes, but that if a crash is going to occur, a Puetz window would be the likely time frame in which it would happen. Puetz windows tend to occur every year or two, while crashes are rare events. (SOURCE)

He....concludes that a full moon in general and a lunar (eclipse) full moon close to solar eclipses, in particular, seem to be the triggering device that allows for the rapid transformation of investor psychology from manic greed to paranoia (SOURCE).

According to Arch Crawford, the upcoming lunar eclipse might mark "the de facto start of the 'Cardinal Climax'".

On August 1, give or take a week, we’ll have the most five-planet alignments in perhaps thousands of years. Known as the “Cardinal Climax,” this is the meanest, nastiest, most challenging and most transformational of any planetary phenomena in all of written history!

Here's the astrological chart for August 1st:



From Crawford's interview:

Q: What do you see?

A: This is the view of the planets from New York City on Aug. 1, at 6am. We have the most planets in the tightest alignments and at the supposedly 'sensitive' Zero degrees of Cardinal signs. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I looked at records going back to the 1800’s, and this is the most difficult alignment I found. When I was at a conference in Boston last month, someone said this was the most difficult alignment they have seen in the last "1,000 years." Another person told me this is the worst alignment in "10,000 years."

Q: What are possible consequences?

Worst cases include a nuclear accident. Nuclear war. Massive societal collapse. Maybe a pole flip, which can wipe out nearly everything.

Cardinal Climax is especially intimidating because of the proximity to the widely touted Mayan Calendar End Date. Plus, the Christians are looking for the Return of Jesus and/or the Rapture, the Muslims await the return of the umteenth Imam, the White Buffalo has been born, and Jews are fighting over the right to rebuild Solomon's Temple on the 'temple mount' in Jerusalem. These are all signs of “end times” by many different cultures.

The one thing most convincing to me is that there are more people alive on the planet today than all who have ever lived in recorded history. So it may be that every soul is on board for this event!

I believe the Cardinal Climax got started with the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus which was opposed by Saturn at 0 degrees Aries on June 8th. On June 9th the U.N. Security Council approved new sanctions on Iran:



Notably, "Iran" literally stands for "Land of the Aryans". The conjunction occurred just as Jupiter and Uranus entered "Aries", the zodiacal sign for Aryans.

Given this connection, one should particularly focus upon events concerning Iran in the context of the other aspects of this Cardinal Climax. Likewise, Korea bears close watching.

As for why astrology has been uncannily accurate in recent decades in forecasting world history, this might have more to do with man than God IMHO.

Truly there is strong evidence that "astroharmonics" matter in the formation of Elliott Wave patterns and fluctuations in mass mood connected to world history. Chris Carolan's work on Autumn panics and the "Spiral Calendar" is particularly revealing on this point, as is Steve Puetz discovery of a connection between financial panics and eclipses. Multiple academic studies have shown a correlation between stock market returns and the lunar cycle. Also, there's the historical pattern of major stock market turning points at psychologically important thousand marks at the time of planetary alignments:











Finally, there's key episodes of extreme market reversals in connection with major planetary alignments like occurred in 1962 and 1987.

Thus, there was likely good reason that ancient civilizations developed astrological beliefs as they closely watched the stars, sun and moon (particularly in agrarian societies) and noted correlations with social phenomena over eons of history.

But even with the evidence in favor of astrology, I believe the correlation between astrological configurations and recent history has been too close and specific to be solely due to astroharmonics. Rather, I believe that one of the reasons astrology is effective at the current juncture is because people in positions of power are intentionally shaping history according to the stars. Thus, history is very much the fate that man makes for himself, even in the fulfillment of doomsday prophecies.

"History is a capricious creature. It depends on who writes it." - Mikhail Gorbachev

"Astrology is a quite serious science. It helps us launch spacecraft, missiles; we use it broadly to forestall suicides among the personnel. Experience shows it is unreasonable to reject it. Our estimates and forecasts are usually corroborated up to 70-75 percent." - Viktor Yakovlev, Commander of the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces

"Believe it or not, every three months a summary of astrological prognoses predicting the place and date of future extraordinary occurrences is sent from the St. Petersburg Naval Scientific Research Institute to the Russian Defense Ministry's General Staff." - Komsomolskaya Pravda; January 21, 1998

Lastly, one might note that the upcoming lunar eclipse and Cardinal Climax appear to be centered on my birthdate:





What is God up to?
