What is China doing right?


It has emerge as a world power. The question is - What is China doing right? The answer is - moving on. China is building fast maglev trains. It is industrializing. Meanwhile US seems to worry about what to do. The answer is - grow.

I have said this before, US companies are always closing down plants, shutting down branches, stores are boarding up. In contrast China is building new highways, and creating a new energy. Don't tear down, build up.

HDRKID predictions

When my predictions come true it is easy for debunkers to claim that it was obvious. These are the same people who were making fun of me. Then when the prediction comes true they do a debunker flipflop. It is hard to see what is coming. However, there is little effort in making fun of people and later when the future forecast comes true claiming you knew all along. Well, here is a list of ten disaster prediction that did not come true. OK as you can imagine, 2012 is not the end of the world. In fact, there is not one big event but many. What the future will bring is a cascade of catastrophes and a deluge of disasters. Life goes on, but HDRKID predictions are going to continue to come in like clock work.

Home Depot profit falls

Today latest news is Home Depot profit falls. People, this is very max important. Well, you see, there is no real estate recovery. It is all smoke and mirrors.

GM loss 1.2 billion

Two cars smashed together in a car accident with rollover photo

There is a new GM that is a much smaller company. Hummer, pontiac, saturn, saab, oldsmobile, are gone. Whereas in 1980 it had 50% of world market, now the number is only 15% of the sales in cars. Despite 1.2 billion loss GM says it will start paying loans it owes. With what money?

Obama in singapore

Today, prez is in singapore. Obama grew up in indonesia and hawaii. He is familiar with asia. The vast continent where most of humanity lives is no mystery. There is much to be in touch with as his rock star persona wows the crowds in asia.

Trade Deficit worsens

What we have it the worst trade deficit since 1999. This is terrible. Basically we produce little in in US and import a lot of our wares. Countries need to produce or they will wither away. The trade deficit was a lot bigger than most predicted due to a widening of the trade gap.

↯Dollar is dropping


Gold rising on $1118, a new record as dollar drops. People who purchase precious metals will see a rapid rise in prices. However, inflation will soon afflict our nation. HDRKID is coming out with new movies.

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

you owe $200,000

Folks, our gov is in hock for approx 60 trillion and there are 300 million citizens. Therefore with simple mathematics we see you owe $200,000 and that could get you a nice mansion now. I mean houses that we once going for 1.5 million are now sold on auction block for $30,000. OK so much for recession is over.

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

Global Banking in Trouble


Times are tough. Today Lloyd's announces it will lay off 5,000. Last week Royal Bank of Scotland was letting go 4,000. Much like our US Banking system in UK both banks have receive massive bailouts. Still they are doing terrible. Lloyd's of London is one of world's biggest insurance companies. Few jobs are now being created as nations around the world shed workers in a severe economic recession. The labor unions complain bitterly that tax payer money is being wasted on banks being prop up.

Monday, November 09, 2009

Youtube is the future


It has been an interesting year, the last in this decade I fear. Well, one prediction I made in 1999 was that the internet would evolve from text, to pictures, to movies. What we are seeing is that sites are adding more video and becoming less "bookish" as we press on. YRO or Youtube Ranking Optimization is becoming more important as people compete to get views.

Sunday, November 08, 2009

US & China in a trade war?

Back in the Great Depression, our gov try to stop imports. OK is US and China in a trade war now? Well, not right now. However, as things heat up, we could be in one soon.

Saturday, November 07, 2009

These are not the droids you are looking for

Famous line from Star Wars movie. However driod phone landed on Google home page. Folks, we love droids around here - yes even the real phoney ones.

Friday, November 06, 2009

Fort Hood

Major Nidal Malik Hassan in a cowardly act fired on unarm members of his own army in Fort Hood, Texas. This doctor who is suppose to help the sick and wounded instead proves to be an evil muslim terrorist. Please remember the US muslim soldier who tried to grenade his commanders in iraq in 2003. This is not the first time a jihadist attacks from within our ranks.

Population Collapse


Already in Japan we see a population collapse. This means few children are being born now. Actually, the percentage of seniors is rising. Sadly, in japan many schools are closing due to lack of children. This reminds me of colony collapse disorder in bees where no new bees are coming on. What I have seen in the future for our world is not a population explosion, but rather instead very few persons. I have seen empty cities, deserted highways, and ghost towns.

Wednesday, November 04, 2009

Dollar is dropping


Dollar is falling fast. This should not come as a surprise. I have predicted dollar demise for some time now. Sadly, Oil shot up over $80/b crimping the wallet of consumers. Gold today hit another record high. Those that told me to sell yellow metal and get green pieces of paper are now strangely silent. I plan to buy bullion next week. Hope a pullback will allow me to lock in more gold as the dollar continues its downward decline.

Tuesday, November 03, 2009

OUTsourcing our economy


What we see is that a computer programmer making $50,000 a year is now working at a mcjob part time making $10,000. The rich who did engineer our collapse took their money out of US banks and move it offshore. The move factories to Red China, and white collar work to India.

Well, now there is a decrease in demand for products. The US consumer is flat broke. Without good high paying jobs our gov is gone. People we cannot run deficit after deficit year after year. What we need is to stop companies that outsource to India. The way to do it is to place tariffs. This means more money for our gov, and more jobs for us.

TARP money fails CIT rescue

In what could be one of the worst bankruptcy stories in US History, more sad news. This is the fifth largest bankruptcy in history. Today CIT is filing chapter 11 bankruptcy as TARP in rescue. People AIG was seen as a lender of last resort to many small business. Sadly, without loans many will not be able to buy inventory for the holiday season. As small businesses close, jobs lost will increase more.

Sunday, November 01, 2009

AIG injuction

Lawyers in California block AIG from transfer money out of state because it may not have enough money. They believe AIG cannot cover existing policies. This is sad news when world's biggest insurance company is sue in court.

Saturday, October 31, 2009

Think zinc

A new lithium ion battery killer has stepped into the ring. The new zinc air can store three times the energy of a lithium ion. It is cheaper and better. Let's hear it for the electric cars. This new advance comes from swiss. Happy to report that the new battery can charge and discharge many hundreds of times. An unusual feature is that the new zinc air is similar to a fuel cell because it uses oxygen from our air for power. This reminds me of how John Titor said that fuel cells were our future power.

Friday, October 30, 2009

Banks have problems

OK as our commercial real estate market implodes banks have problems. Already in trouble due to the subprime mortgage meltdown the banks now see a new crisis.

Thursday, October 29, 2009

euro up 18%

The dollar decline is serious. The dollar is down 18% against the euro and with gold even more. Last year gold was $750/oz and now it is over $1000/oz. Folks this is like getting a 20% pay cut on top of higher taxes from uncle sam. Most of us had our hours cut, and cuts in our benefits and wages.

With the dollar worth less (worthless soon); I expect inflation to rise. Sadly, our gov is running that printing press. That means we have more and more worthless green pieces of paper. Did I say green? Well, the new orangeback ten looks fake - like monopoly money.

exploring the fringe


Little progress is made by a ship if it stays safe in port. Instead the ship must explore uncharted waters and brave storms to find new islands of adventure. Those that fear sea monsters and falling off the edge need not apply. They are the debunkers that ridicule anything new.

Steven Gibbs HDR unit is an electromagnet. Yet, it has properties I can best describe as most odd. Strange paranormal events happen with greater frequency when I turn on an HDR.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

newspapers soon gone


It is not that people no longer read, or that wood pulp had a high price. Here is a

graph of newspaper circulation
. Actually, years ago, some say TV would kill the local newspaper. They said people would turn to television for their news. However, what got rid of newspapers was the internet. Well, one web site in particular - craigslist. Before the papers made money with classified ads, but now most people use craigs. With no money coming in, US newspapers soon gone.

Monday, October 26, 2009

Dollar is poor

The dollar devaluation continues as euro hits a new fresh 14 month high against our greenback. At some level many countries will start to dump the dollar. How long do we have before we go into free fall?

Patricia Ress has a new website

Author Patricia Ress has built a new web site. In it see has all her latest books. The website is PatriciaGriffinRess.com and it will soon have more content. This is great because the old Patricia Ress web site is down and I hope she put her phone number on this new one.

Sunday, October 25, 2009

BK Windows 7 Whopper

Folks, that is seven, yes seven patties of meat on the Burger King Windows 7 Whopper. This promotional stunt is to create some buzz for Microsoft Windows 7 a big bloated operating system. Talk about a heart attack waiting to happen. If you eat the godzilla burger you will need operating as in a coronary bypass.

exec pay

OK new rules with result in even more exec pay. I find it hard to stomach paying some exec 200 million a year to sit in a big chair and say "gotta make cuts!". I agree, we have to make cuts and we can start by cutting exec who do nothing for the bottom line. People, in the days to come, every future exec will have to work for a living. The days of sitting in a big chair looking out the window are over.

Saturday, October 24, 2009

106 banks gone

Back in 2008, HDRKID predicted that in 2009 over 100 banks would go bankrupt. Also that the FDIC would run low on money. OK as of today 106 banks are gone. Future of finance is very grim. The situation is far more serious, than we are led to believe. I do not wish to incite a panic.

Friday, October 23, 2009

Microsoft profit down 18%

People we are in trouble, microsoft profit has fallen for the last three quarters. Microsoft profit is down 18% and still falling. Hey, go to best buy today. There are very few people buying win7. What others refuse to consider is that we are still sinking. I am being proven right.

Thursday, October 22, 2009

Latest news in HDR

HDRKID is getting ready to release a new video of a close up movie of an HDR in use. Author Patricia Ress is working on a new web site about her life and an HDR. This is all, but just the tip of the iceberg. Plan to keep you posted on the latest developments in what is taking place in our little corner.

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Ebay stock tumbles

Ebay stock fell on weak holiday forecast. The company so famous for turning trash into cash now sees its future turning into trash. People are angry about new rules and many want to leave the auction house for greener pastures. As ebay falls, amazon rises.

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Home price forecast


The home price forecast is that certain areas will do worse than others. Take a look at areas with high taxes and unemployment like California. I predict foreclosures will increase, forcing the housing price in a downward direction. In contrast areas near DC see a lot of new gov jobs so house prices will go up.

Monday, October 19, 2009

gas prices are rising


Today we see that gasoline prices are rising. Sending a message that inflation is not in control. Last year I paid as much as $4.39/gallon for gasoline, then the economic recession cut demand so gas price fell to $1.39/gallon this year. Well, my prediction is that next year we could see gas price rise over $3.

Sunday, October 18, 2009

US has biggest deficit since 1945

Read the numbers and we weep. US has now biggest deficit since 1945. Back then we were fighting nazi germany. Well, now we are in two needless wars, and it appears we are near EPIC FAIL.

Thursday, October 15, 2009

google doing great

Google smashes targets on strong sales figures. This is great news for google, but those sales come from some where - as in less spending on traditional media. People, many companies are moving away from newspapers. They like PPC ads where you can track who is buying your product. I predict in the future few newspapers survive.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Higg Boson

They say it is an elementary particle knows as Higgs Boson that gives matter its mass. OK science using LHC or Large Hadron Collider in geneva has not found the Higgs Boson. Perhaps the collider is jinx and Higgs cannot be found. OK some science says that a Higgs Boson would ripple thru time backwards and stop the LHC from even being turned on. Strange stuff to be sure.

Monday, October 12, 2009

Construction demand down


I do not see an economic recovery, but rather instead economic ruin. Today construction demand in fastenal is down 42% compare ro last year. People do not appreciate what is taking place - a massive increase in green pieces of paper. What we have is orangeback monopoly money. All that rhetoric from DC will not change reality. Expect inflation to take place and that you will see more price increases.

Sunday, October 11, 2009

TV over net

Future will not have broadcast television, but instead distribution over our internet. Netflix says movies over web is the future. OK so forget, cinema, movies over a kiosk, or a video store. The net is my bet.

Future of TV is
to be like a youtube clone, think hulu. John Titor predicted internet taking over and he was right.

Saturday, October 10, 2009

moon ice

I am the ice man, need an ice cave. Hey there is ice on our moon. Well, imagine that - a moon crash to find lunar water. Not sure if we will colonize in a near year. However, long term we travel in excursion to the lunar surface.

President Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

Shock is a mild word. The world world was stunned when the incredible happens. Today, President Obama won Nobel peace prize. Words escape me. Today history was made in a dramatic way. Tomorrow is truly a brand new day.

Thursday, October 08, 2009

Banks in trouble

Freddie & Fannie need more money. They got nearly 100 billion last year, but the real estate decline continues. Debunkers that laughed at me when I predicted a mortgage meltdown, now claim it was so very predictable. People, it ain't over.

Wednesday, October 07, 2009

oil prices rise


There are those who say an economic recovery is the reason. Actually, oil is rising because we are running out. Also, a drop in dollar help push it higher. The problem is we hit peak oil in 2005, so petroleum prices are going up. Future price of oil is much higher than now.

Tuesday, October 06, 2009

Gold record close

This is a day we have been waiting for. The rise of aurum as in gold is now at hand. Today, gold had a record close. I predict that it will rise over $2000/oz soon. Put it out with a perdurable and I say this - you gotta GO FOR THE GOLD!

Time running out as US Dollar continues its fall


The season if fall. A lot more than leaves are falling, as in currency. The green pieces of paper continue to lose value. Fall of dollar is sharp as rumors abound of Saudi Arabia switching from dollars to euros. This could send gold soaring. It is already over $1000/oz, rising as we speak. Yellow metal is doing max plus. In fact, gold prices in future are much higher than now. I predict we will see $2000/oz on aurum soon.

Saturday, October 03, 2009

Where are jobs?


Right now our recession is going nowhere but down and many are saying Obama's policies have failed. There are some signs of economic WREAKcovery, as in millions of jobs lost. The people who still are able to hold on to their position now see cuts in wages as well as hours.

This means they have less money to use in buying stuff. According to liberals we have too much stuff, well, the grocery store is full and the electronics store is near MT. Hey, so guess much of that stuff we are getting is food.

The problem is that we lost most of our industry and most of our product now come from Red China. With our industrial base gone, there are few jobs for the people and we are slowly becoming a 3rd world state. I see more scooters in the future as high gasoline prices will force people to economize.

Friday, October 02, 2009

Down Jones again?

Yesterday the dow drops over 200 points. I hate to say I told you so, but guess what, this false rally is almost over, and the down jones is getting ready to go down again. Stocks are falling on a poor jobs report and a generally wosening economy.

Thursday, October 01, 2009

junk heap of history


Far into the future many will wonder about strange mounds of junk. It will be a mystery, the giant piles of trash an enigma to ponder on. Few will imagine that our civilization was so waste full - producing so much garbage. This can be what we leave to future generations, and yet it need not be so.

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

US business activity shrinks

Today the purchasing index show what I have been telling you. US purchasing index shrank today as big biz buys less. I do not see green shoots, but rather brown weeds. In fact, the sunny forecasts are all wrong. There are dark clouds on the horizon.

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

Stocks go lower

Stock go lower on news no recovery is near. It could be delayed until 2011. Unemployment is now near 10% and might hit 12% in 2010. OK as more people lose jobs they cannot pay bills. Banks are now asking for more TARP funds. The FDIC is nearly our of money.

Monday, September 28, 2009

iran fires missiles

Today, iran fired some long range missiles in a show of defiance. They are threatening israel again. The situation is getting hot. I predict that a war in middle east involving iran will affect the price of oil. In fact, future price of oil will go up a lot.

Friday, September 25, 2009

moon in ice

There is water galore on moon & mars. This means our chance of lunar colonies has one up. In the days to come many will start to ponder on humans living on other worlds. Planet earth is our womb. The home of our birth, but we can expand outward to the moon and mars, and later the stars. Future is mars as in terraforming it.

Thursday, September 24, 2009

Dollar Destroyed

Hey, say farewell to the dollar it is a goner. A victim of spending of money by our gov. Perhaps an amero will take its place. but gone is green back - soon.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

Dollar near one year lows


Industrial out put is way down. US is in a severe economic crisis. Today the US Dollar trades near one year lows. This is because we are see my "Dollar Death" prediction coming true. Back in 2001 when gold was $250/oz I told people to buy gold. It is now over 1000. In fact, this time last year gold was around $750/oz. It is still cheap. Gold will rise over $2,000/oz.

Tuesday, September 22, 2009

microcell is future

AT&T makes microcell available to people with wifi. This allows you to have more coverage. Oh my, this is great. What we need is better coverage for cell phones and microcell is a big plus.

Monday, September 21, 2009

Lennar losses double


Home builder Lennaris doing even worse. Lennars losses have doubled over last year. What we have to understand is that this year is even worse than last year which was terrible. However our gov says we are in recovery. Housing starts went downhill in 2006. Thereforewe are still going down hill even now. Rather than economic recovery, I see economic ruin.

Sunday, September 20, 2009

amazing amazon

Known by many as the Walmart of the web, amazon has become a power in online products. They have moved from book selling to electronics. Well, now amazon has its own brand name electronics. I predict as more people buy online you will see more malls fail. Expect that as gas prices surge in the next decade more purchases will be made online.

Saturday, September 19, 2009

What is your favorite gadget not yet invented?

OK, forget about the flying car, that one already exists. What is your favorite uninvented gadget? Like a water proof cell phone, laptop with built in projector, etc. Please write to HDRremovemeKID [at] HOTremovemeMAIL [dot] com.

Friday, September 18, 2009

Do Startups change our world?

Well, startup companies are suppose to be changing our world. True it is. However, we can often see that some startups are based on saving money. Others are based on making an existing product better. The better mouse trap series.

That said, I feel that most of our inventions come from crazy tinkerers that refuse to give up. It is they that move our way. In the future we will have a new industrial method called the factoryversity.

Thursday, September 17, 2009

US scraps missile defense

Today news is US scraps its missile defense shield. Basically, we are now defenseless against a russian attack. This is terrible news if your fear that we could be a target in the future. John Titor did warn us of a russian missile attack in 2015.

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

cell phones cause cancer

Well, it is finally out in open. Cellular telephones can cause cancer. When I first announce this, the debunkers used ridicule to counter me. They said our gov would never permit the sale of dangerous electronics. Please be aware. For years there were warnings of cell phones causing brain cancer. However, debunkers did label those people as crack pots.

Monday, September 14, 2009

US vs China trade war

US vs China near war, trade war that is. This is because president want to increase tariffs on Chinese products. The result is the dow is down and our recession may get worse.

He already threw van jones under the bus and now its time to change the tires.

Sunday, September 13, 2009

over one million march in DC

Bigger than the million man march, over one million march on Washington DC. Far away in the distance you can see a wave of humans. The crowds filled DC streets. History is here.

Friday, September 11, 2009

What I saw

Here is what I saw going astral to the future.

There is a eerie quiet that is broken by the sound of wind moving around some dried leaves. Where did all the people go - I do not see them. Streets are empty with no sound of an automobile engine - no cars. The dark city has no power and houses look abandoned as yards have overgrown grass. An uncanny quiet lingers in the air near industrial areas because no machinery is in use. Warehouses are empty. Far away from the city we see abandoned towns that look like ghost towns with assorted pieces of mangled metal strewn about and rusting pieces of farm tractors. Fields and farms are weedy, but without animals.

Wednesday, September 09, 2009

more foreclosure are coming

Treasury says more foreclosures are coming soon. People losing jobs cannot pay mortgages. This is to be most expected. I tell you that our economic recession is turning into a mega depression.

Tuesday, September 08, 2009

FDIC running out of money

FDIC insurance is a private company. The gov could say that they are very sorry. OK yes and you money is gone.

Monday, September 07, 2009

Future predictions

Time monk george ure is using webbots develop by cliff high to predict the future. Still, I find that movies are often the best predictors of future events. For example, in that 1970's movie Rollerball, the future is run by giant corporations, and libraries are gone. All books are in computers - digitize an summarize.

HDRKID predictions
have for the most part come true, but there are some who still feel that all is well. Take a look at gold prices. People are buying the yellow metal because trouble is ahead.

Sunday, September 06, 2009

rising ocean

People our rising seas are eating our coasts. This is a mjor problem in the future as the polar ice caps melt the ocean rises. It is going to create hardship because many people live near shore.

John Titor said that in 2036 the oceans were not rising, but I disagree. The rise in our oceans is cause by global warming. Expect the waves of a roaring ocean to strike fear into men's hearts soon.

Saturday, September 05, 2009

no bombers for oil

Lybian bomber released in oil deal. The deal with Lybia means more billions for certain billionaires...
It reminds me of how England once used pirates to enrich its empire. There can be little doubt that a compromise was made.


Friday, September 04, 2009

Trash into cash

OK as our economic recession goes worse, many are looking for ways to turn trash into cash. A few years ago the method was ebay, but with rising fees, now many look to craigslist. For one thing craigslist is free.

There is also no shipping fee because people drive to your house to pick up an item. However, the downside is that you have to answer your phone. It seems many are forgetting the hassles of a ringing phone. Much like a crying infant that demands your attention the telephone can be annoying. Still, this is one way to turn trash into cash.

Wednesday, September 02, 2009

Ban for distorting time?

Here is some humor for a change. A ban for distorting time. perchance we may find out how a super mouse can be use to win games.

Tuesday, September 01, 2009

Florida shrinks

For Florida this is an end of an era as population growth engine stops cold. People are leaving the sunshine state. Florida is second only to California in foreclosures. People as our economy grinds to a halt many of those jobs that rely on tourism will simply evaporate.

Monday, August 31, 2009

no recovery is near

They saw there is a tale of two recoveries as some feel that things keep getting worse. Frankly, it is because reality is starting to hit home. People now realize that there is no recovery. Prosperity is just around the corner - well it ain't.

Saturday, August 29, 2009

UAE seizes weapons on ship bound from NK to iran

Today, UAE seize weapons on ship bound from NK to iran. Well, this could cause some trouble. I believe that North Korea is waiting for an excuse. It could be that in the near future they will attack.

Friday, August 28, 2009

Best SyFy of all time

Here is a list of the 100 top science fiction shows of all time. It is very interesting to see that much fiction has already become fact. Sci-Fi is an exciting place in space because so many things that seem so impossible back then, like lasers back in the 1930's are now so common that you can get one at your local mart.

Here is hoping that SyFy staples such as flying cars and time machines become even more common in the future.

Peak Water II

Desert landscape

What happens when we run out of water? OK you may have heard of PEAK OIL, but what about water? Well, and I mean well as in a deep hole in the ground. The Ogallala aquifer is running dry. It helps produce much of the food grown in america. Actually, over the last century we have been mining water. This is geological water from the last ice age. When it is gone so are we. Latest calculations from science says that it shall take over 6,000 years to refill the Ogallala Aquifer with rain water. Frankly our way of life is in deep darkness. A new dust bowl will arise.

Thursday, August 27, 2009

unemplyment hits record high in japan

Japan hit record high unemployment due to a worsening of economic recession. All this talk of a light at the end of the tunnel, well it is an oncoming freight train. Here come the WREAKcovery. Sales of goods are still falling. Get ready for a camzarian discovery. The numbers do not add up.

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

Toyota in Trouble

World's largest automobile manufacturer, Totoya will make massive cuts to production as global economy spin out of control. They have suffer ten straight months of declining sales. Forecast is that things might turn around in 2011 maybe.

OK in US a weaker dollar is causing WREAKcovery. This means higher oil prices. It means less money to buy cars.

Steven Gibbs is forecasting that things are going to get ugly. Time is not going to be on our side. Due to massive printing of green pieces of paper, inflation will take off. Pat Buchanan says our demo-crazy cannot survive our projected nine trillion dollar deficit.

Monday, August 24, 2009

prez witman?

California ExCEO Meg Witman could re the next president. This figure might not be a bad choice for US. She was once CEO of ebay. Has a lot of experience, and might be just what we need.

Sunday, August 23, 2009

Technology addicts

A teenager who is addicted to war games will be first patient at new US internet addiction clinic. This could be the start of a trend. Perhaps in the future men will prefer cute robot girlfriends to the real thing. This reminds me of CarlosX future robot repairman.

Saturday, August 22, 2009

open office is open

True open office is a very open software, but word is not. It uses special formatting that gets lost in translation. This is a way microsoft wants to dominate the office software market. By making their software not work well with others they hold on to their monopoly for a few years more.

In the future I predict that open source will rule. The max expensive super buggy programs we have now, will be but a pain sore memory.

Friday, August 21, 2009

Yahoo accuse violating law

Yahoo was accuse of allowing unregistered illegal online pharmacies to operate using its advertising network. They ignore strict laws and allow people to buy "see alice" over the internet. Charges could include felony computer crime due to seriousness of what is taking place.

Thursday, August 20, 2009

crude oil falls on increase in jobless

In a sign that there is no recovery, an increase in jobless claim causes crude oil futures to fall. Those who thought that all was well can relax, because we are using less oil due to an increase in unemployment. As people lose their jobs they consume less gasoline meaning a drop in net oil consumption.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

John Deere speak of weak sales

Future may well remember that John Deere sales are down 29%. How can it be? People need food, and tractors are necessary to till the soil. That said, I see that our global economy is in a downward spiral. Folks, even now Deere, the world’s biggest manufacturer of agricultural equipment, which is needed to produce food. They say this year 2009 Deere had its largest single year decline in their entire history.

UK film board bans Japanese movie. These censors do claim the movie is too graphic. It is so intense the movie can damage viewers. Well, I believe that what we are seeing is censors in action. Police states always have excuses. It is now that some pools in England have burkinis and have made the bikini illegal. Where are we going?

Stocks stumble

What we are seeing is a global panic. Stock markets around the world are in free fall as news comes out that there is no recovery. Folks, banksters are liars. Heck, they can't even stop a hacker from stealing 130 million credit cards. Where is all that TARP money?

Lowe's stock drops 10.3% as news comes out that housing numbers are horrible. The only thing a debunker can do is giggle and say "everything is fine".

Highest pay CEO list

These are top ten highest paid exec. Funny how it is OK to make 100 million per year when your job is to sit in a corner office. However, workers get cuts and DOWNsizing and OUTsourcing. OK now we are DOWN & OUT!

Peak Water


OK one of many predictions John Titor made was the lack of clean water in our future. People, we will hit peak water soon. Peak oil was hit in 2005 and last year we were paying 147 per barrel. I know it is about half now, but I predict that we will see 8 dollar a gallon gasoline in the next decade. There is a scooter in your future.

Getting back to water, there is now a shortage of water and power in India. True, we can blame global warming, but I blame lack of vision. I blame lack of planning. Peak water is near.

True unemployment over 16%

Folks, we are being sold down the river. True unemployment is at 16.3% and near 20% just like the great depression. I expect that today's new figures are going to shock few. The reason is that most of us know that things are bad and getting to be far worse.

US Police arrest blogger critical of them

This case shows US is a police state much like nazi germany. A blogger critical of police was arrested today. Her crime appears to be mentioning the name of a police officer who she claim was a thug. I guess freedom of speech is dead.

Folks this is serious, they are going after bloggers now. Like all police states, they talk about national security. These gestapo tactics are common in repressive regimes.

Xenophobia against China on rise in Africa

People in resource rich Africa see China as an aggressor. Xenophobia against Chinese is on rise in Africa. OK some say that the reason is treatment of muslims in China. Others point to high unemployment cause by a global financial collapse. Truth is there are many reasons, but I have found that most Chinese people I know hate Africans and refer to them in less than complimentary terms. This could be a factor.

unconstitutional census

Why are we counting illegal aliens for voting purposes? California may get nine more seats in congress. People, our 2010 census is unconstitutional. This is an attack at the heart of our democracy. Basically, we are allowing criminals to skew the power of voters. Folks our census should not count criminals.

What will happen soon

Senior woman smiling

People on fixed incomes will lose their houses. There will be shortages of many products. Obama says "Things will get worse before they get better." I agree as in a lot worse. However, some say that the stock market is going up. Well, look at things this way. It never goes down or up in a straight line. The rally is artificial. It cannot hold up.

I predict more inflation in the future as well as more unemployment. This mirrors what Ron Paul said, an inflationary depression. Lots of green pieces of paper, but few jobs.

Rupert Murdoch want you to pay

OK no more nice guy. Rupert Murdoch will charge money for internet content. His sad little empire will soon be in the ash can of change. Expect that as our recession worsens, few if any will spend cold cash on paper. Why are people going to pay money for something they now receive for free?

Talk about cold cash

Hey, congressman William Jefferson used to have money in his freezer. He likes storing the green. It seems he will now do a little time.

no more Radio Shack?

I remember telling Steven Gibbs that I did not see any Radio Shacks in the future. This is a problem because he uses parts from RS to build his own HDR units. Well, it seems that a name change in branding is afoot. Good old Radio Shack will simply rebrand as the shack.

Not every sleepy little town electronics shop has to stock common component parts for your HDR, but we could always depend on Radio Shack, err THE SHACK...

Muslim Majority


I predict that planet earth will be Majority Muslim in this century. Already, we see many countries that were once Christian have growing Muslim populations. For example, in russia there will be a Muslim majority by midcentury. The Christian Orthodox church is now in demographic decline because their members have less than two children per couple (1.3) versus Muslims have about 8 children per couple. I predict that russia will soon become a sharia law Muslim run nation.

Google vs microhoo

Google is fighting the combined colossus of microsoft and yahoo. Who will survive now? Well, back in 2000 John Titor said that in 2036 neither of the two giants are around. Therefore so guess is Google that wins this one.

Predictions of the future

Here are twenty predictions of pending future technologies that people are waiting for. OK some such as the flying car and jetpack exist, but are too expensive. AND, as for the anwer machine, you can say our internet and google are close. There is a misnomer. Article say no time travel machine, so guess they never heard of a Steven Gibbs HDR.
