Memeering - Frontiers of Thought Control?

You need some background to understand this rather longish report today, so here goes. Since before 9/11, which was described here in mid July 2001 in advance as a "tipping point" in computer modelspace, after which our lives would be forever changed, I've been pleased to bring the occasional insight into the future that has been based on a radical field of study called "predictive linguistics." In this arcane field of study made up almost exclusively of academic institutions, national level organizations, and perhaps a few savvy governments, it's held that big events in the future leak into the present.

If you think about a future event like it's a big rock thrown into a pond, the ripples that are apparent after and event is called history. But, we don't have a name for the ripples that ripple into the event's past - which is from where we sit on the timeline, still in the future.

So in an effort to capture some of these 'waves of the future', practitioners of radical predictive linguistics sweep huge portions of the internet seeking telltale shifts of word use; the subconscious mass mind of humans 'leaking' bits of the future to knowledgeable observers who are capable of using massive inter-human communication as a kind of synthetic aperture antenna to pick up the subtle waves of what's ahead.

This much, I've explained before, usually about 'things to come' - such as the winds/regional disaster due between now and summer, the building mood of revolution against the Powers That Be/corpgov [ruling of humans by others], and of course, the big 'release events' starting economically around the first week of October. Oh, and grain prices going up between now and summer just to as a practical matter.

But what's new this morning, is that our predictive linguistics team has picked up something going on at certain places about the internet, mainly in discussion groups and forums (*multiple forums are called 'the fora' by the software team); a subtle effort to use the net for a kind of mind control or preconditioning in advance of events that are actually planned. Details in a special report from Cliff - the low profile/near recluse who's mastermind of the project:

"Meta Arts - Memeering

Over the course of the past several years of our linguistic sweepings study, we have become aware of many organized groups who also are sweeping/mining/polling for their own purposes.

Approximately 3/three years ago, we thought that we were picking up some new form of internet monkey-mind business, though at that time it was even questionable that a pattern was actually developing. Sort of like seeing the faint hint of where the foot print in the sand was just prior to the wave having washed over it. That is all it was, just faint 'footprint residues' within our linguistic aggregations.

Over the course of 2005, I became increasingly convinced that a pattern of specific linguistic manipulation was being swept up in our data gathering, and in the following year, we introduced several new prolog programs as data filters to our processing. In the effort to increase the granularity of our predictions and to refine our timing sense in the forecasts, we also enhanced our data filters to the level of 'traps' for the types of patterns I suspected were being picked up. In 2007, we were successful in isolating a few of these patterns within each run, and during the 'down time' in the processing, I had begun to craft programs to analyze just these aberrant patterns.

I labeled this pattern of linguistic manipulation a 'memeering' as it appears as a single meme being floated to consciousness within a selected group of fora. These sites have been chosen deliberately as was revealed by the pattern of accretions of specific words. These sites are being deliberately targeted for an as yet unknown purpose. These sites are 'seeded' by the manipulators, likely a team of computer jocks being led by a psychologist/psychiatrist who is in their turn being directed by a higher pay grade administrator tasked by his masters with getting specific 'words out there'.

The supposition that I labor under now is that this group, or these groups involved with this manipulation are attempting to use the internet as an 'energy dump', and to trigger that emotional energy via specific high resonance linguistics. [*Words, phrases, and concepts that will "ring true" at some preconscious level and pass under your perception threshold unchallenged by critical thought - G]

To understand the why's of this effort, we should begin with Robert Hitt (www.astroecon.com). He is an astrologer and fellow hyperdimensional traveler. His astrology is/has been targeted at large moving masses such as we might find in the Markets entity. He has been successful, and as a rational human with clear intentions, has even managed to learn from his failures. This learning process has allowed him to develop a sophisticated understanding of the 'energies'

involved within such large mass human activities.

From this knowledge base, Robert has developed several theories, with a particular theory being of interest at this point. Robert's theory can be relabeled as the 'gotta go somewhere' theory of emotional energy. As he will likely forgive me for renaming it, I will continue to explain that the basic idea is that X amount of emotional energy builds within a human based system such as the markets. The astrology allows for the prediction of how those energies currently held within the humans within the mass system will express themselves. Sometimes *all* the predictions and the astrology are unequivocal, that is, damn clear that outcome Z will occur. Only it does not.

Instead, that day that predicted outcome Z is to manifest, a *something else* pops up instead to 'consume' the energies otherwise headed into the markets. With shocking consistency this pattern of 'energies gotta go somewhere' have been very apparent in recent decades, and especially this century. A very large number of people were 'expecting' a very large market crash on September 11, 2001. Instead.... well, history.

And then more recently the pattern had emerged when yet another large amount of predictions were going toward another markets set back, and lo...that day the Virginia college shooting occurred which left 32/thirty two victims, and the perpetrator dead. Note that this adds up to the 'significant' number of 33/thirty three. Also note that that day, the markets did *not* tank as expected, and as forecast. Again and again these past several years evidence of the Hitt energy displacement theory have been showing up.

We now think that we have picked up a corollary to that theory being attempted. In this corollary the idea is that the [energies] of an emotional nature, which have to go somewhere, are being 'pre set' or staged via manipulation of thoughts via the internet. Basically the context of the patterns we have captured suggest that "someone(s)" are attempting to "pump up" the emotional tensions around certain contexts at certain times. The patterns are clear within our very large aggregations as deliberate and organized 'meme - engineering' or our label of memeering. Our 'memeering' also breaks down into 'memee ring', which is how we discovered the patterns to be used.

The 'memeering' fellows can be found by noticing a distinctly non-random pattern for specific linguistics appearing at context linked site ring.

An example of a context linked site ring would be [*a site focus or main topic of - G] "international bonds", or "international commodities", or "space aliens", or "illuminati conspiracy". In all these instances there is a large central context which can easily be identified within each site. There may or may not be any actually link trading between these sites. The operators of these sites may or may not be aware that individual forums under their control are being used for the purpose of seeding these linguistics. The operators of these sites are likely not aware that they have been chosen by the memeeringers {ed note: rather a nasty mouthful} as part of a specific pattern spreading algorithm.

We are fairly certain that at least 3/three governments [*Note 1] can be identified as employing the memeering techniques, though it is unclear if they are each in the business, or if a central contractor is involved. Further we have fairly clear evidence of several lower level commercial/political memeering going on.

The aware observer may be able to catch the memeering being used in near real time by following several context linked sites with large fora operations, or very high traffic, and then watching for the appearance of very damn similar linguistics around a small, and emotionally charged meme.

An example might be the appearance of the 'race' meme within the political fora in the week leading up to its appearance within the global mediastream as the 'theme of the week'. Other examples are easily seen when they 'stick out' from the usual postings within the forum. An example might be a big-"C" conservative theme which appears within the 'space alien' site ring. It does happen. We can't yet say if this is by mistake, or a shot-gun approach, or a what-not? But it does happen. It was such a happenstance which first alerted our software spiders years ago.

The use of memeering does explicitly point to attempts to use corollaries of Robert Hitt's postulate of 'energy gotta go somewhere' for specific, and seemingly power-reinforcing, goals.

The idea that 'seeds' of thought which have been emotionally-charged via linguistic analysis are being sown on the internet is a bit scary. This is actual, demonstrable evidence that [mind control via media], a well defined context within the ThePowersThatBe entity, has been escalated from the global broadcast mediastream out to the individual experience of the internet.

So for now, our processing filters are finding, and discarding the planted 'seed memes', though we do find the responses to be useful, and usually

*not* within the memeering process, and so are using some of these within our larger aggregation of aspect/attributes. But on the whole, we are discounting the meme seeds, but not throwing them away. It sometimes is useful to be aware of such plants growing in the giant mental garden of the collective consensus reality.

Be careful out there, the emotions you are experiencing *may* not be your own, or universe inspired. They may be planted...for someone else's purpose. The aware observer will be cognizant of how they are being affected by what is being place there for them to read. Of course the memeering designers recognize that the schooled mind will accept any kind of thing shoved down its pie hole, while the educated mind can entertain the idea without necessarily accepting it...or in this case, getting their emotional energy redirected by it.

Igor is going to be working on a taxonomy of such internet plants which we will make available as a 'field manual for identification' at some future time. "

[Note 1: Cliff and I had a conversation about whether we should really label government as a memeering group. I argued that unless we had quite specific proof, we should instead use the term 'national level entity' to describe these memeeringers. But Cliff argues that with the implied size/power of the 'national level entities' I reference, it's really 'government' for all intents are purposes, and that we should be clear that the government we elect is not the government that does the governing. Big money is, after all, effectively governs anyway. Point taken.]

Along about now you're likely wondering "Who is behind the high level memeering operations, and how would I spot one?"

The answer to the first question is that the team has isolated three groups of meme. We'll call these an Anglo group of high sophistication, a Middle East/Islamic group which is more obvious in their efforts, and a third (or more) group(s) which we just call "Other" for now.

The second question, how to spot one is simple: Next time you go to a discussion forum and see a post which asks a rhetorical question that goes to some sensitive area of feelings/emotions, don't be sucked in to reading the 10-20 sentence emotion tweaking that is tied to it.

Or, if you read foreign forums/fora, be careful of posts that are formed this way and yet which don't make sense. Cliff and Igor seem to get a kick out of memeering done badly, such as translating what was intended in one case to be the concept of "bad taste in your mouth" to something akin to 'foul tasting bird.'

An open question is whether memeering could be a toll used by groups such as the Plunge Protection Team, a/k/a the President Working Group On Markets.

A well read person might imagine that if the PPT was really trying to prevent the onset of an economic Depression which could dwarf the 1930's event, they would use every tool in their arsenal, which would no doubt be formed up around doctrinal DIME theory (*diplomatic, informational, diplomatic, and economic). If such an 'all tools are available for use' approach was taken, then conceivably, memeering could be an integrated portion of an informational strategy.

Not saying this is the case, however. Far from it. Still, it's just the kind of half-formed question that lurks in the back of the mind when the markets seem to act in an irrational way.

With an emotional 'hot date' up around February 5th, I find myself scanning the headlines trying to discern whether Hitt's theory of "emotional energy gotta go somewhere" will be played out again.

Iran's New Oil Bourse

Among the reasons Iran is in Washington's cross-hairs is that they have made it very clear that when their new oil trading bourse opens (likely this week or next) they will not be dealing oil in dollars.

Naturally, having some sense of how DIME's are spent, we couldn't help but notice that the loci of the recent internet cable breaks (three or four if you're counting) seems to have taken out Iran's access to the internet, at least for now.

As I mentioned to Peoplenomics subscribers on Sunday, we have to wonder what a virtual cable break would look like, seeing as the reports are catching up to the idea that the outages have not been caused by ships dragging anchor and that sort of thing.

Our bottom line: If it looks like an info-op to slow the Iranian bourse coming on line, then who knows, maybe it is...

Speaking of which, if you go to Beijing, let us know if www.urbansurvival.com is available there? Seems China is keeping a lot of Western riffraff out with the electronic equivalent of the Great Wall.

Oil Prices

The good news is that oil prices are down for a third day in a row in overseas/overnight trading. But, wait! Is this good news or bad? It could be argued either way,; and here's why:

With gasoline already projected to hit $3.50 a gallon before summer, any weakness in oil prices could be welcomed at the gas pump. However, the other side of the coin is that lower oil prices likely means the US recession may cut deeper than expected. And yes, that 'weaker than expected' economy would also pressure down gold which touched under $900 this morning.

Abiotic Oil Data Point

No, I never said I didn't believe in abiotic oil. What I said was I didn't think it would be produced fast enough to replace depleted resources. Seems oil can be made from the interaction of rocks with seawater...

Global Cooling?

Coping: Carrying Food Over Time

Last week, we got into how noodles could be used to store high quality egg protein - a much better plan than making dried eggs at home, which sounds more than slightly dicey. Today, some more thoughts on food preservation...

"Saw your post about preserving eggs by using them to make noodles and it made me remember an article I’d read years ago about preserving eggs for as long as 12 months (for a long yachting voyage) by sealing the egg’s exterior with nail polish or varnish. I looked around briefly & found the following useful information online: http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/miscellaneous-recipes-13.shtml

Since these methods seem to be taken from the old days before easy refrigeration was widely available I believe it will be most useful to the readers going forward."

Und sauerkraut? Jawohl mein freund..

"An old and good method for carrying food over time is preserving by lactic fermentation. This method is still used for making sauerkraut, but can be used for a multitude of other vegetables.

From the book, Keeping Food Fresh, Old World Techniques and Recipes (ISBN 1-890132-10-1):

The vegetables are grated or cut up, seasoned with a bit of salt (or a mild brine) and herbs, and left to soak in their own juice. (Salt is a key: A good rule of thumb is about 1 1/2 percent salt by weight of vegetables, which generally translates into 2 to 3 tablespoons of salt per quart.) Lactic microbial organism - similar to those that curdle milk - develop spontaneously and convert the natural sugars of the vegetable into lactic acid. This environment rapidly acidifies, to the point that it becomes impossible for bacteria responsible for food spoilage to multiply. Vegetables preserved this way will keep in a cool place, such as a cellar, for many months.

I highly recommend the above mentioned book for time-tested techniques on food preservation. In addition to the chapter on preserving by lactic fermentation, other chapters address preserving by drying, with salt, with sugar, in oil, in vinegar, and in alcohol. Really a valuable little book."

And about those new systems that left 'officialdom' turn off your car (or reduce it to an idle via a satellite signal), here's some additional background on 'hardening' your cars electronics:

"I am a faithful reader of your websites and enjoy them very much (not sure enjoy is the proper word) but wanted to add my 2 cents worth on the topic of vehicle electronics. I am a former USAF avionics technician and have been an Electrical Engineering Technician at **** Electronics and Safety (formerly ***** Electronics) for the past 10 years or so. I have spent the majority of my time dealing with power train products such as Engine Control Modules (ECMs) and Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs). I don't claim to be an expert on the subject but I have pondered how to EMP harden various systems. If you belong to the ARRL, they had a series of articles on EMP hardening your amateur radio station, it is good information and is a place to start, I it is series of QST articles published around 1977 (not sure of the year) that used to be archived in the members section of their website as PDFs.

Nearly all ECMs and PCMs are mounted underhood and usually are in a heavy die cast aluminum case, probably not totally sealed against RF, but good enough that I wouldn't worry about it too much. I would look at the wiring harness, since it obviously is a great antenna to a huge EMP bolt. I have pondered shielding the harness (probably not practical) or maybe suppression (ferrites on the harness) maybe; but I thing the main weakness is a good heavy duty ground from body to frame, helping the steel body act has a Faraday Cage. Filtering every line into the box should work, but it would be ugly, due to the number of wires.

One thing that is true of the new electronically controlled vehicles is that they protect themselves from abuse. I was in a training class at my company and the instructor got into a mid to late 90s Cadillac, started the engine and pressed the gas pedal down to the floor and shifted from Park to Drive...what happened? Nothing...Modern PCMs control both the engine and the transmission and it wouldn't engage the transmission. The instructor said that you can tell your potential drag racing teenage son, "Yes, this is your father's Oldsmobile."

Thanks for letting me write my thoughts...If you would, please keep my company name confidential...no real reason, but don't want any potential trouble."

If you worry about such things, you might consider disconnecting the satellite antenna on your car if you have one, but if you do, then a couple of things happen: First, you won't be able to summon help if you really need it, and secondly, if your car is stolen, then your insurance company might not want to pay off, but on the other hand, if the car's gone, who would know? Thieves are just as smart as the rest of us, and sometimes in their own way, even smarter. The successful ones, it could be argued, don't get caught, so it just looks like IQ's are lower. Of course they would be if you only count the ones that are caught. What about the ones in office?...

Peoplenomics: Sports, Markets, and Gambling Styles

Our discussion of matters economic is more to the point than usual because we all need to be watching the time dilation of the final two minutes of a football game later on this afternoon. But, before heading off to the kitchen for a few cold ones and nachos, a moment reflecting on the market being at what feels like an 'inflection point', may be worthy of deeper consideration than, say, adding up the weights of an offensive line, for example. Things are likely to become offensive in the markets this week, and instead of 52" of HD escapism, it could be your 401-K or retirement plan at risk. But I know how loud nachos can be calling on semi-holidays like this one. So let's quickly flip through some charts and some comments about the new oil bourse up this week and how it may be connected with "cable breaks" and then... well, throw some extra cheese on the nachos for me...

Chart of the Week!

An explanation of this chart

Once upon a time, a long while ago, I observed during my quest for 'truth' in economics, that the powers That Be, the talking heads on the teeve, and the other information sources that actively engage in the programming of humans not to think, had conveniently swept several trillions of dollars that disappeared in the Internet Bubble's bursting (since spring 2000) under the rug. Surely, it wasn't unnoticed by the thousands of people who called brokers and said "Where is my money?" "Gone, but hang in there as you're a long term investor!" was about all they heard back.

But, the truth of the matter is that this chart shows what your account would look like if you have taken a few thousand dollars and invested equal amounts in the Dow, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ Composite in the waning days of 1999. It's not a very pretty picture, and it sort of gives away the other side of the story. You know, the one that no one has an interest in telling, because it's a truth which shows the amazing coincidence of the timing of 9/11, the disappearance of naked shorting evidence and all, along with the impact of The Wars which have managed to keep the economy out of an earlier depression than the one expected by me by late 2008.

No, it's not a perfect replay of 1929, but history doesn't repeat exactly, it only rhymes. So think of this as the rhymes and the crimes chart:
