RE: Chokepoint 2020-2023: How to Avoid Becoming a Future Scapegoat
We are still in a deflationary depression, began August 1999 and thru Fall 2011. From Fall 2011 we've been in a correction upwards, but still far far below those 1999 highs. Deflation should still be on the mind, given oil's 150-year lows achieved as recently as January 2016. Our point is, fiat cash will have it's last day in the sun, but it will be quite a glorious day. So it's actually the holders of crypto whom should be most scared of losing their wealth if they have none of it parked in fiat.
Astrological is interesting to us. What year was the last 3 times the Spring 2020 conjunction event happened?
We are big fans of Plato by the way, he shaped important views on political shifts in any society, as if politics were the same as seasonal weather patterns.
As for Physics, there IS physics involved in planetary cycles. Gravity is a force, and planets are the means to changing that force for Earth-bound humans. If you don't believe gravity affects humans or earth on a broader basis than just causing Earth's orbit around the sun, consult any woman on how they change with the moon, or watch any tide roll in or out at your local harbor. The moon is close and tiny, but has massive effects on people and earthly things. The planets are farther away, and thus have less effect, but like the moon they move in cycles, and all earthly things are affected by gravity just like your body is affected by changes in atomospheric pressure which isn't visible. Sure, cue balls can strike the 9 ball, but that's obvious bc we can SEE it. How about something that levitates like a Maglev train? Just bc you can't SEE magetic force, doesn't mean it can't kill you if you ignore it.
so maybe your belief in astrology isn't that mystical or going against your logical side. Maybe you/we just can't see the cycle changes bc they are so long, longer than human lifetimes or on par with human lifetimes. Can you see an 80 year storm coming? Only when its close, but being 2 years away from an 80 year storm feels not much different than being 40 years away, yet it's closer.
think you should explore more of the astrolocial, but be scientific about it. Try to explain history with what the planets are doing, and try to draw conclusions. Until then, yes, it's useless and might as well BE mystical belief.
As for Steemians with lots of steem fearing kidnapping, yeah sure, but maybe that's one of the big problems with Steemit is they never valued anonymity in the first place.
as far as the video is concerned, gold ownership was criminalized for decades in the good old gold-backed-dollar United States. How many people in the United States migrated out of the US due to this policy? That's the question to ask oneself.
I don't believe in astrology. I seriously doubt the planets are doing anything other than being predictable in their orbits. Because they are predictable, you can map against it to human life which is non-random and predictable. Turn the chart 180 degrees, makes no difference other than you might be speaking Japanese instead. I wrote the Theory of Geocosmic Coincidence nearly 20 years ago that explains how I view the subject.
Given that astrologers often can't agree on the divisions of the zodiac and that the rules vary so widely as to be almost unrecognizable to each other, but yet they can still "make it work" is what points me in this direction of thinking. It's like switching languages to describe the same phenomenon.
Dang harpooninvestor, if there’s an award for detailed comment going the distance, you win!
But no passport zoidsoft, you really don’t have one? Certainly yours is just expired, and you’re not actually confined. Really? No passport??
Never had a reason to get one. I refuse to fly after my experiences the month before 911 and since 911, knew it could only be worse. I'm probably on a no fly list now anyway. But it might be worth going up to Canada at some point.
We've never seen anything convincing on planets or other gravitational factors, but not many people really do serious research here either.
There's plenty of factors which REAL physicists and astronomy folk theorize which could affect human/societal cycles. Again, some of these phenomena are on such a long cycle, no modern scientist has been able to account for any of it. Ever try to document "every 26 million years" using old rocks?

Ok, so a "second sun" theory is a TAD beyond the scope of our lifespans, but you get the point. While a 2nd star would SURELY affect every living species on earth, we shouldn't underestimate changes in gravity which are smaller in scope, or much much shorter in duration than 26 million years. Take major conflicts for instance. 80 years is an entire lifetime, but we have a major major conflict about on that schedule...
2021 is coming up, but roughly 82 years prior to that was start of World War 2
1939: beginning of World War 2, and 82 years prior to that was...
1857: the REAL beginning of the American Civil War (after Panic of 1857, see Nebraska Territory for how the Civil War REALLY began)
1775: The beginning of the American Revolution (which included France as well). 82 years prior to that...
1693: the heavy fighting began of the 9 years war involving France, Netherlands, England, Spain and the Holy Roman Empire.
We're not historians, nor astronomers, but it's a bit eery that Occupy Wall St and the "Tea Party" are rising phenomena in our current age, one who's next economic downturn will almost surely bring violence.
Old clever Wall Streeters believe in hemlines too... you sell when they are high, and buy when they are low:
Physicists just experimentally proved the existence of gravitational waves, long ago correctly theorized by Einstein and others of his time. Not any easy experiment, you have to put measuring meters the size of buildings in different time zones. The waves are coming from cataclysms across the universe, so potentially on the order of billions of years ago. Do THEY have an effect? They sure do. Everything has an effect, so while the Zodiac folk are probably the equivalent of Snake Oil Salesmen are to modern liver transplant surgery, it doesn't mean "the stars" as we generalize everything outside of our solar system don't have effects on living species on earth. Gravitational waves go right thru your body, and while we don't have sensors to measure that small, it doesn't mean pieces of your body aren't afffected. Gravitational waves are often VERY cyclic due to orbital motion, but also erratic (ever try mapping the motion of 3 large objects using gravity? 4? VERY tough problems even to this day). So cycles based on gravitational forces may not be as easy as "every 82 years". But one thing is clear, they travel quickly such that every species on earth is affected almost instanteously at the same time. Imagine if a rainy day, or high barometric pressure, or heavy wind, or the Northern Lights all happened to everyone on earth at the same time. Fine Fine men of math and physics have applied things as simple as the snowfall in Central Park to stock market performance, and are making PLENTY of money over a long stretch of time to prove it works and is no hoax (see Rennaisance Technology Capital run by a crypto-math guy).
All we were saying is, astronomy might matter more than we think, even tho no one has really done a great job documenting it, and the math involved might be quite complex.
We are men of science, not mysticism, so don't peg us as some looney-tunes reading Nostradamus for answers to who the next President will be or the end of the world.
and if large-scale violence breaks out within a year or two of 2021, don't be terribly surprised. Maybe it's as simple as a single human lifetime runs about 80 years, and people get on edge once per lifetime. We don't know, we're just saying it's honorable if anyone even attempts to make sense of cycles, orbits, or anything related to forces humans can't see or sense in their lifetimes. Humans are mere specks in time and space, after all.
