Is The Greatest Turning Point In Human History Near-At-Hand?

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - George Santayana
For regular leaders of my blog, you've seen from time to time that I reference my "Manic-Depressive Man" thesis and provide commentary drawn from the Elliott Wave Principle.  We may now be at one of the most important historical turning points ever based upon my unique perspective.

ELLIOTT WAVE PRINCIPLE UPDATE

"Given the terminal nature of the entire wave from the 2009 low, there is a strong probability that the last all-time high in the Dow for years to come will register today. The extremely low volatility of recent months is likely to transition to the greatest volatility ever recorded for U.S. stocks.  Our timing work suggests that wave c to the downside will be relentless and do its damage over a brief span of two years." 

- Rober Prechter, Elliott Wave Theorist interim report, 6/6/2014

The Elliott Wave Principle was developed in the 1930's by Ralph N. Elliott, an accountant by profession, who was bedridden for long periods of time due to chronic illness and took that time to analyze stock price charts in the wake of the 1929 Great Crash to determine if there was any recurring patterns.  From this, he formulated Elliott's "Wave Principle" that the stock market generally proceeds in a path of three steps forward with two steps back on recurring scales of magnitude that is depicted like this:

In the 1970's and 1980's, Elliott's Wave Principle was uncovered and popularized my market technician Robert Prechter who eventually started Elliott Wave International headquartered in Gainesville, GA, that has since become the world renown authority for analysis of global markets utilizing the theory.

I will not attempt here to reexplain the Wave Principle and its many rules and tenets but instead encourage any one interested in further learning to ElliottWave.com and Robert Prechter's advisory services for a thorough explanation of the theory and its current application to global markets.  Robert Prechter has invested his life into developing and bringing to global light this most important social SCIENCE of mass human thought and behavior and you will do yourself a great disservice by failing to take advantage of an opportunity to learn more.  (No....I'm not a paid shrill, but I am an admiring fan of Prechter's ingenious work.)  For those with insufficient funds or interest, Wikipedia has an excellent overview of the Wave Principle.

What's critical is that, at the current juncture, the Elliott Wave Principle is signalling we are currently reaching the ultimate historical top....what is aptly described as the peak of Western Civilization:

In the context of this long-term topping process, we are now at or near the end of the rebound in mass mood and stock prices since the Spring 2009 low (see Prechter's quote above).  

What does this mean?  

That's the $100 trillion question I'd like to answer here now.

First off, let's consider the authoritative perspective of Elliott Wave International:

Above is the opening section of the latest Elliott Wave Financial Forecast which was released Friday.  

As you can see, the view is that the DJIA, which closed just below the psychologically important 17000 mark last week, is "TOPPING".  Following this top, a drive in stock prices down to below the 400 mark on the DJIA (and that's really 400....not 4000) is anticipated according to the tenets of the Wave Principle.

What could cause such a massive collapse in the DJIA?

For the answer to that we first must consider what the DJIA represents.  The DJIA is a market index derived from the equity share prices of 30 of the largest U.S. corporations.  In this way, it is a price measurement that represents the earnings and well-being of the U.S. economy.  A rising DJIA means rising stock prices in general and climbing earnings anticipations for big business, i.e., it implies rising collective confidence and optimism for American capitalism.  Likewise, a falling DJIA implies an upset of collective confidence and growing pessimism for American capitalism.

Thus for the DJIA to fall from 17000 to below 400 in a matter of a couple of years from now, some sort of drastic upset of investor confidence in U.S. capitalism would need to occur.  Where could such a historic upset come from?

 That's what I've been trying futility to warn this world about for the past 20+ years! Western collective confidence in capitalism has been intentionally pushed to irrational heights by Kremlin strategic deceptions for the very purpose of a total upset in the form of a surprise nuclear third world war.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” - Carl Sagan

AND THEN THE LAWLESS ONE WILL BE REVEALED, WHOM THE LORD JESUS WILL OVERTHROW WITH THE BREATH OF HIS MOUTH AND DESTROY BY THE SPLENDOR OF HIS COMING. [2 THESSALONIANS 2:8]

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)

We're obviously entering a very dangerous period...

For those who are familiar with my train of thought and/or have read my Thesis, "Manic-Depressive Man", a sense of apocalyptic foreboding is inescapable at this point.

First off, precisely in conjunction with Secretary of State Kerry's August 26th bellicose speech regarding possible Western military action against Syria, the DJIA reversed sharply below the psychologically important 15000 mark:

As I've long been pointing out, reversals from psychologically important thousand marks in the DJIA tend to coincide with major plunges in stock prices, sometimes in "reaction" to geopolitical shocks like the 1973 Yom Kippur Arab-Israeli War, Iraq's July 1990 invasion of Kuwait and 9/11.







Meanwhile, in terms of the seasonality of man's manic-depressive mass mood swings, we are entering the annual period when the world is most prone to major "panics" and the onset of social depressions.


Typically, these panics take a financial form such as the 1929, 1987 and 2008 stock market crashes, but they also can take the form of apocalyptic scares like the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the October 1973 Arab-Israeli War, and 9/11 and the subsequent Anthrax mailings.

My work is drawn from an award-winning 1998 article written by Chris Carolan, Autumn Panics: A Calendar Phenomenon, which points out the tendency for financial panics to climax into the 28th day of the 7th month on the annual lunar calendar:






I took Carolan's discovery a step further utilizing the lunar-based Hebrew calendar. What I found is the tendency is for mass panics to develop in 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 Hebrew calendar (usually late-October on the Gregorian calendar). During this Hebrew calendar 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 2013, Tishrei 25-26 on the Hebrew calendar will fall on September 29-30 on the Gregorian calendar. Thus, we are now entering the period when mass panics tend to kick-off according to mass mood seasonality. If a mass panic develops, it may climax into late-September as the historical pattern suggests. The period of greatest danger, i.e., when an epic "crash" (upset of collective beliefs and expecations) could occur in the form of a surprise nuclear third world war, should be after the full moon in September going into the new moon in October between 9/19 and 10/4.

With regard to this historical pattern, I think it's important to note the relevance of Elul 29 on the Hebrew calendar. This is the last day of the year for Jews. As uncovered by Jonathan Cahn, author of "The Harbinger", on this important date on the Hebrew calendar during the last two "Sabbatical Years" which occurred in 2000-2001 and 2007-2008, there were major panics on Wall Street. In 2001, this was in "reaction" to 9/11. In 2008, this was in response to the financial crisis of that year. Chris Carolan, in his article linked to above, notes that the stock market crash of 1873 occurred into the 28th day of the 6th lunar month that year, which is equivalent to Elul 26-27 in that year on the Hebrew calendar.

The Crash of 1873.

September 18 and 19, 1873 were labeled “Black Thursday” and “Black Friday” in the collapse of 1873. The Friday selling took prices of major stocks 5 to 25% percent below Thursday’s already collapsed levels. This panic was considered the greatest on Wall Street until 1929. The news accounts describe the same type of free fall and despair as the 20th century counterparts. The annual lunar calendar dates of “Black Thursday” and “Black Friday” were 6-27 and 6-28, one month earlier, but exactly the same lunar days as the 20th century examples. News accounts describe a temporary bottom late on Friday. Saturday, September 20 brought renewed selling and the closure of the exchange after a shortened two-hour trading day. The stock exchange remained closed for a week thereafter. Though on Monday September 22 prices rose sharply in trading in the streets. The timing of the 1873 Autumn panic is consistent with the 20th century results, though exactly one month earlier,

Elul 26-29 on the Hebrew calendar is equivalent to September 1-4 in 2013. Might a mass panic hit early this year?

This certainly seems distinctly possible given the developing crisis concerning Syria. On August 21st, Bashar Assad's regime unleashed a Sarin gas attack on the outskirts of Damascus that killed hundreds. Since this overstepped the "red line" painted by President Obama a year earlier, there are now strong indications that the Western powers are about to strike Syria militarily. What could unfold as a result of a Western attack on Syria? I believe that could be what I foresaw more than two decades ago as I was learning about the Elliott Wave Principle of stock price movements: a chemical SCUD missile attack on Israel and subsequent global nuclear war.







Let's hope and pray I'm wrong once again...

Second Korean War?

Just as the DJIA thrusts above the psychologically important 14000 mark and America reaches a manic extreme of unwarranted confidence in the future (given past "sin"), North Korea enters the equation with a threat to unleash war on South Korea and its American protectorate.

Is a second Korean War imminent?
This would make sense in the context of my Global Bipolar Thesis in that the collapse in collective Western optimism should unfold in the form of a third world war in which the global forces of Capitalism are overcome by the forces of Communism. After all, the DMZ between North and South Korea is the last active battle line between Communism and Capitalism.

From ABC News:

North Korea has announced it is voiding non-aggression pacts with South Korea and severing its hotline with Seoul, hours after threatening the US with a pre-emptive nuclear strike.

North Korea "abrogates all agreements on non-aggression reached between the North and the South," the state-run Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said in a statement.

"It notifies the South side that it will immediately cut off the North-South hotline," said the statement, which was carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

The statement came just hours after the UN Security Council unanimously voted to impose tough sanctions against the rogue nation.

While I don't think North Korea is planning an all-out nuclear war against South Korea and America, what is possible is that some sort of limited military action, like a repeat of the artillery bombardment of Yeonpyeong Island. Indeed, this is what's suggested by the following CNN newsclip:



The problem is this time around South Korea is likely to respond forcefully thus raising the specter of all-out war erupting.

Of course, Russia and China are well aware of the likely repercussions of any sort of North Korean strike against South Korea at this point as the tensions between East and West, Communism and Capitalism, North Korea and South Korea, yin and yang have slowly been brought into perfect imbalance and a most potent ignition point.



Tis a matter of the final battle between Good and Evil for the "Seoul" of mankind.





In this regard, it is important to note that North Korea is nothing but a puppet state for Moscow and Beijing and is being used for strategic purposes. What Dow 14000+ represents is how perfectly misled Western beliefs and expectations have been made for the very purpose of a total upset in the form of a surprise outbreak of World War Three.

"THE FAILURE OF U.S. POLICYMAKERS TO COMPREHEND THE VEILED AGGRESSIVENESS AND HOSTILITY TOWARDS THE UNITED STATES INHERENT IN SINO-SOVIET STRATEGY AND THE BELIEF THAT THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC REFORMS IN RUSSIA AND THE PARTIAL INTRODUCTION OF CAPITALISM IN CHINA HAVE FORESHADOWED THESE COUNTRIES' DEVELOPMENT INTO REAL DEMOCRACIES, HAVE ERODED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF U.S. POLICIES IN THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS, DEFENSE, INTELLIGENCE AND COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE FIELDS. U.S. POLICYMAKERS HAVE RECKLESSLY ACCEPTED THE PREMISE THAT RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE NO LONGER ENEMIES, BUT ARE RATHER POTENTIAL ALLIES AND PARTNERS FULLY DESERVING OF U.S. SUPPORT. ONLY COUNTRIES LIKE IRAN, (PRE-2003) IRAQ AND NORTH KOREA - WHICH (IRONICALLY, IN THIS CONTEXT) WORK SECRETLY WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA - ARE STILL CONSIDERED POTENTIAL ADVERSARIES." - KGB DEFECTOR ANATOLIY GOLITSYN, THE PERESTROIKA DECEPTION, 1995, P.230

"U.S. policy for dealing with the North Korean situation is inadequate because it focuses on North Korea in isolation as a rogue state, and naively seeks help from the Russians and Chinese to solve the problem. The North Korea situation and any future nuclear incident, wherever it occurs, must be seen against the background of Sino-Soviet 'convergence' strategy: the interaction of Russian and Chinese policy and the moves they make to derive strategic gains from critical situations should be closely studied."

- Anatoliy Golitsyn, the highest ranking KGB defector to the West, The Perestroika Deception, 1990, p.46

FINAL NOTE: KOSPI 2000 & KREMLIN ASTROLOGY

One might note that while the DJIA is well clear of the psychologically important 14000 mark, what's interesting is that the South Korean KOSPI is right at the key 2000 benchmark:



Is this a sign of a coming breakdown in mass psychology?

Furthermore, as I've long detailed, the Kremlin appears to be shaping history according to astrology. Notably, North Korea's threat to act has been pre-announced for March 11th or thereafter:

The North's unnamed foreign ministry spokesman said it would be entitled to take military action as of March 11 when U.S.-South Korea military drills move into a full-scale phase. [Reuters]

This is notable as the planet Mars enters the zodiac sign of Aries on March 12th (and stays there until April 20th). What does this mean astrologically?

Mars, the action packed planet of drive and ambition will enter the zodiac sign of Aries on Tuesday March 12, 2013 at 2:26am Eastern Time. Often called the God of War, this planet will give you the energy and will to face any battle you encounter....When the God of War meets up with the fiery Aries Ram, we are all in for an adventurous ride. Mars is the ruling planet for Aries, so when these two meet up it’s no time for sitting still. Movement, action, drive and aggression are all possible during this period. [Psychic Universe]

Coincidence? I think not.


"WOLVERINES!!!"

Dow 14000 & World War Three?

Today the DJIA closed above the psychologically important 14000 mark for the first time in five years, i.e., since the 2008 financial crisis hit:

We may be in a comparable situation to when the DJIA tested the 1000 mark just before the last major Arab-Israeli War in 1973 and when the Dow brushed up against the 3000 mark right before Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990:

I believe the logic I spelled out regarding "Dow 13000 and World War Three?" applies here all the same (minus seasonality):



In fact, what has formed is a rather ominous "diagonal triangle" that typically marks the end of a major upswing pattern in mass mood:

What's telling is that this Elliott Wave pattern has unfolded into the upper channel line of the rise in stock prices dating back to the Great Depression:

In a prophetic, religious context, think of this as representing the peak of Capitalism and Western Civilization, and the associated mass servitude, worship and "love" (valuation) of Mammon (wealth; greed). Indeed, this is well represented by America's modern-day "Golden Calf", the bronze Charging Bull statue by Wall Street:

[As to why Wall Street's mood swings in Elliott Wave fractal patterns and why seeming exogenous geopolitical shocks are connected to reversals from thousand mark psychological barriers in the DJIA, this is because history unfolds in a fractal pattern which implies that what we are collectively experiencing is holographic in nature. Stock index price patterns reflect the collective emotional response to history as it unfolds. What does this mean? I believe this corroborates the idea that the universe is a four-dimensional hologram etched onto the surface of the three-dimensional space we measure with our senses over time. This image, our story, is (has been?) authored by God, a point well made by how the historical cycles of sin and redemption are so perfectly patterned.]

What will happen in the wake of this peak?

According to the Elliott Wave Principle, a collapse of Grand Supercycle magnitude lies dead ahead that should involve a 99%+ drop in stock prices:

This is what I've dubbed the "Apocalypse Wave", and I believe it projects the fall of America and end of Capitalism..

Thus, I do not believe it is mere coincidence that just as we are topping around Dow 14K, there's news of an Israeli air-strike against Syria that might provoke a military response by Syria and/or Iran and/or Iran's proxy force of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon:

The presumed Israeli airstrike within Syrian territory on Wednesday has elicited threats of retaliation from both Syria and Iran. Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul-Karim Ali, quoted at al-Ahd, a Hezbollah-run news website, contended that his nation could make “a surprise decision to respond to the aggression of the Israeli warplanes,” adding that ”Syria is engaged in defending its sovereignty and its land.” In Iran, a deputy foreign minister was quoted by English-language Press TV as saying the “strike on Syria will have serious consequences for Tel Aviv.” He did not elaborate. ["Israel Threatened by Syria and Iran", FrontPageMag.com]

Is my apocalyptic vision, which begins with a chemical SCUD missile attack on Israel, about to unfold?



I hope and pray not.

God have mercy on our souls...

Extreme Danger Immediately Ahead?

The stock market continued its downward spiral today in the wake of Tuesday's reelection of Barack Obama. The DJIA and Nasdaq Composite have now decisively broken below the psychologically important 13000 and 3000 marks, respectively. What's more, the DJIA and key S&P500 index have broken below their technically important 200-day moving averages:

In late-September I posted a blog about man's seasonal insanity that highlighted how our species tends to suffer mass panics during the autumn. This blog was drawn from the work of Chris Carolan who discovered the pattern and published an award-winning paper on the subject, Autumn Panics: A Calendar Phenomenon, in 1998. This is relevant at the current juncture in that Carolan is noting that the same pattern in 1929 and 1987 appears to be repeating in 2012 one lunar cycle later than occurred in the previous years of major stock market crashes:

Here's a more recent chart highlighting the parallel pattern between the 1987 stock market crash and what is unfolding in this year:

And another:

The emerging pattern seems to indicate a crash into, or at least around the time of, the total solar eclipse on November 13th this year. This is analogous to the 1929 stock market crash into a solar eclipse on November 1st of that year. (In 1987, the solar eclipse preceded the crash on September 23rd of that year.)

The problem, as I've long been warning, is that the potential scale of an autumn panic this time around is far greater than what was experienced in 1929 and 1987. Robert Prechter, the "Elliott Wave Theorist", has for some time been warning that based upon the fractal-based Elliott Wave pattern, the stock market might be headed for a collapse of epic proportions. Indeed, the long-term chart pattern suggests we just entered what I've dubbed the "Apocalypse Wave" which could involve a 99%+ drop in stock prices:

So does this mean that major stock market crash is about to unfold? If so, why?

This is what I believe God forewarned me about when I suffered an apocalyptic vision in February 1991.

The DJIA just broke decisively below the psychologically important 13000 mark. As noted in my prior blogs, in years past when the DJIA has broken below key thousand mark psychological barriers major historical shocks have erupted such as the 1973 Yom Kippur Arab-Israeli War, Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait and 9/11:







Similarly, is a major historical shock about to erupt at the current historical juncture? Will this shock come in the form of what I foresaw in February 1991, i.e., a third world war that begins with a chemical SCUD missile attack on Israel? Such a potential crisis certainly seems possible at the current juncture given recent news out of the Middle East of a flare-up in the Golan Heights between Syria and Israel as the insurgency in Syria seems to be spreading beyond that nation's borders:

Three Syrian mortar shells struck in and around an Israeli village on the Golan Heights Thursday, marking a significant deterioration of security conditions along the border.

One shell fell in between homes in Moshav Alonei Habashan, but did not explode. Two more hit closer to the border.

“We believe these are stray shells, fired in the midst of internal Syrian fighting,” an IDF spokeswoman said.

No one was injured in the incident, which follows other stray shootings, including Syrian bullets that struck an IDF jeep on patrol last week.

Home Front Defense Minister Avi Dichter said Israel needed “nerves of steel” to deal with the instability in Syria.

Then, of course, there's the possibility that Israel is planning to strike Iran's nuclear sites around the time of the 11/13 new moon/solar eclipse:





God have mercy on our souls...

Man's Seasonal Insanity

In August of last year I wrote an important blog examining the seasonality of man's manic-depressive psychotic disorder which I've dubbed the "Global Bipolar Disorder".  I've discovered that there is a distinct circannual pattern to swings in mass mood such that bouts of collective panic and depression tend to strike in the autumn, with full-scale "crashes" typically occurring during a two-week period starting around Tishrei 10 (Yom Kippur) and climaxing into Tishrei 25-28 on the lunar-based Hebrew calendar.

The most profound examples of this in the financial realm were the 1929 and 1987 stock market crashes:

While 1929 and 1987 are clear examples of how collective panics can strike financial markets in the Fall after Yom Kippur, it's also possible that waves of mass fear and anxiety come in the form of autumn geopolitical crises.  Two of the most profound examples of this, which also occurred in the two-week period between Yom Kippur and the end of Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar, were the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and 1973 Yom Kippur Arab-Israeli War: the closest times the world came to global nuclear war.

Yom Kippur took place on October 8th, 1962.  On October 7th that year, Cuban President Osvaldo Dorticós announced to the UN General Assembly: "If ... we are attacked, we will defend ourselves. I repeat, we have sufficient means with which to defend ourselves; we have indeed our inevitable weapons, the weapons, which we would have preferred not to acquire, and which we do not wish to employ." Shortly thereafter, a U.S. reconnaissance flight over Cuba revealed the presence of Soviet medium range ballistic missiles. From there a crisis quickly developed as President Kennedy confronted Moscow over the presence of nuclear missiles in Cuba and then blockaded the island.  The crisis continued to deepen and on October 25th, which was the 27th of Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar, the DEFCON nuclear alert status was raised to "2" for the first time in history as the world was at the brink of nuclear war.  An agreement was reached between the leaders of America and Russia soon thereafter and world war three was averted.



In 1973, Yom Kippur occurred on October 6th.  On that day, a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack against Israel.  The Arab forces made significant gains against the Jewish state but soon fell into retreat and by October 24th, the 28th of Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar, the IDF had encircled Egypt's Third Army and the city of Suez. Consequently, a nuclear confrontation developed between the U.S. and Soviet Union as America raised its DEFCON nuclear alert status to "3", the second closest the world ever came to nuclear war.  Soon thereafter the crisis was resolved.



Thus, there is a distinct historical pattern to man's manic-depressive insanity that involves mass panics during the Fall and between Yom Kippur and the end of the month of Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar.  The latter period saw both the historic 1929 and 1987 stock market crashes as well as the two geopolitical crises that brought the world closest to a nuclear third world war: the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and the 1973 Arab-Israeli War.

Wednesday, September 26th, Yom Kippur will occur this year around.  Will the historical pattern prove relevant in 2012?  Let's hope and pray not, but there's certainly enough trouble in the Middle East nowadays to be on guard. It won't take much for the world to share the apocalyptic vision I suffered in 1991 that began by seeing a special report of a chemical SCUD missile attack on Israel. [NOTE: Tishrei 25-28, the seasonal period of most acute panic in 1929, 1962, 1973 and 1987, will occur from October 11th to 14th this year.]

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!

Me, Myself and I! Not...

Great speech by the only "Socialist" in the U.S. Congress today:



Some two million Americans are losing their unemployment benefits this holiday season (including myself) and some members of Congress are in panic mode. Why? Is it out of concern for those who've fallen victim to the consequences of bankster's reckless greed and the resultant chronic unemployment? No! These "representatives" are concerned about an expiration of tax cuts on the rich at year-end. Ultimately this is no problem, though, since the new Republican-majority Congress the American people elected in November will see to it that any effective increase in taxes on the wealthy will be done away with once they take office next year regardless. Thank Glenn Beck, America is saved!!!

Tis the season and the reason should be love and care for others, but who do Americans love in this day and age? Well, this news byte seems somewhat telltale:

Narcissistic personality disorder, characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance and the need for constant attention, has been eliminated from the upcoming manual of mental disorders, which psychiatrists use to diagnose mental illness. [SOURCE]

Narcissism can no longer be classified as a mental disorder in America because it's now the norm. It's all about me, myself and I! Right?

Wrong.

All that you have is a blessing from God and can be taken away tomorrow. Literally.
