Interesting approach to predicting future events.

Never heard of it previously.

I know a guy from 40 years ago who used the same technique to play the horses. He would go to the races and wait till the last moment to place his bet. His choice was the horse that had the most last minute bets and he says it was a workable strategy. I have never understood why people with profitable strategies do not become millionaires but that may not be related. I know casinos do not want such players so there may be reasons that it does not work at the races as well.

The reason it works at the races is that people who have good insight or have rigged the race wait until the last moment to bet so that other punters do not reduce the odds for them with random betting. The big money seems to know what is what.

Taking my extra $5 to the track right now!

Please let us know if the system still works. Do some observation before committing your $5 and see when the big bets get placed.

Lapsus calami at the title. Or lapsus digitorum, if you will.

Now, it's really a shame the VP candidate is not a woman or a transsexual. It would have been so special for everyone who likes this circus to see Trump bullying both of them and Vance trying to remain the straight man of the duo.

But at least we got a real Marxist into the mix, whatever definition of real we have been given this month by the ministry of reality.

The fun thing about Marxists is their venality. They will denounce Israel's genocide against the Palestinians until they get what they want. Then they go back to Starbucks to get more soy drinks and pills.

The ticket Kamala/Walz has a role of losing well, like Stacy Abrams. Trump/Vance have to keep alive all the "errors" of the Biden Actor's guild.

Will they start a big war before November? The astrology tables say that between August 24th and September 13th there is a chance (Mars square Neptune) they may start something like a chemical attack. Perhaps around September 2nd. And from today, Aug. 7 to Aug. 24 there is a good chance (Mars square Saturn) of military events happening. Full moon on the 19th.

I previously would have mocked attention to Astrology to predict the future. Now I see it as something different: Code among occultists tied to the MOBS complex.

How bizarre that we find ourselves looking at old movies and star charts to see what messages the Cybernetics overlords have been sending and normalizing.

Doesn’t matter if you believe in it, if they believe in it.

Maybe they do. I make no assumptions. Having grown up in a Neo-Theosophy cult, I find it hard to distinguish between actual and falsified beliefs because there is so much nonsense and fraud.

I've come up with a different theory regarding an explanation for any accuracy of astrology: the older I get, the more I realize that EVERYTHING is cyclic, even things that you swear couldn't be. Obviously planetary motion is cyclic, and for whatever reason, either chance or maybe some latent effect of ancient primitives having followed the planets to time their events for eons, the affairs of man now align with the movements of the planets.

The old adage - "They always tell us ahead of time what they are going to do" definitely seems to apply here!!! Linking tomorrow @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

Reality is what you can get away with. - Ain’t that the truth -keep the mother hen image of Kamala - the woman supported by white dudes - how apt - in your minds eye to inform you re this candidate- Cluck, Cluck said the mother hen. Cock a doodle do!

The intention was "Camilla and Gonzo," but maybe I should have made it more explicit.

Substack a life saver during the Covid con. Sasha Latypova and Katherine Watt are my heroines. It is my hope other mature adults meet these women and there honest information.

Interesting, but regardless of which chess piece is positioned to win, I know who really wins and the occultists are doomed.

I hope that you are correct. But if I were a psychopathic world leader, I would write a book and create a religion that would tell people to remain passive because I would fail according to a certain narrative that my government would then engineer as psyops along the way.

Remain passive... that reminds me of Stoicism and the psychologist Albert Ellis.

Oh wait, I'm not supposed to say that therapists have been gaslighting people for many decades, paving the way for totalitarianism. It's still too soon for that apocalypse.

The book I go by doesn't mention remaining passive anywhere that I can think of, but many that claim to "go by it" don't read it or else don't understand what they read, perhaps preferring to go by somebody else's understanding of it instead, because that's quicker and easier, and they find passivity appealing because it frees up more time to pursue the comfortable life. Doing so serves the psychopathic world leaders' purposes well. They like comfort-seekers.

The book I go by tightly couples the ideas of "faith" and "love" with the requirement to "take action". Or else.

Indeed. The Full Armor in Eph 6 is for proceeding into battle, not for hunkering down; else the instructions would have been for building a bunker or a castle.

Passiveness is not an option in this sin sick world. Dan 12:1 tells us a time of trouble is coming that the world has not yet seen.

“And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.”

The Creator God who enabled His children to endure the tortures of Rome in the Collesium and later through the Dark Ages will enable them to endure what is coming and will put an end to it. There is nothing passive about that.

The aggressiveness of sharing brings the attacks of the occultists but it must happen. Then Nahum 1:9 signals the end of the occult and Malachi 4:3 states “And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.”

Evil exists. The Creator God exists. The evidence is abundant for those who search. The Textus Receptus, that asp, exists in spite of the efforts to destroy or corrupt it.

Some will suffer greatly in the violence others may not but all who choose the Creator will abide under the shelter of the Almighty. Psalms 91:1

If it's a psyop I don't think it has gone the way they planned.

Unless it's part of a deeper plan to get rid of the weak / the useless eaters.
