After several days of panic in the markets, the Dow Jones Industrial average is rebounding. Why? It seems as if the Liberation Day tariffs may be leading to new trade deals.The market swoon and lack of clarity has put the Trump administration in the wilderness. Is the goal to really bring all trade deficits to zero? Do we want our children screwing together iPhones as a career? Or is this just a set up for Trump to schedule a month long rose garden signing ceremony where world leaders line up single file to welcome American exports?Today, we talk to our logistics expert Big Jim and check in with J.D. Durkin to figure out whether Trump's tariffs mark a shift toward isolation, or just a high-stakes negotiating move. Is this a reset of global trade, or just a pause before the next deal? We're on the clock, because by the time this drops, the whole game might have changed.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:44 - Interview with Big Jim00:43:02 - Update00:45:09 - Supreme Court Decision Over Alien Enemies Act00:48:30 - June 14th Military Parade00:49:54 - House Democrat Seat Targets00:52:34 - Interview with J.D.

Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — U.S. stock futures are on the decline ahead of a new trading week on Wall Street. Dow Jones Industrial, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures all fell roughly four percent Sunday. Things haven't been much better overnight, with Dow futures having lost around 13-points - or more than three percent. This comes after the Dow saw back-to-back losses of over 15-hundred points for the first time ever last week, while the S&P took a six-percent nosedive Friday, the worst since March 2020. Two ---- Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has joined a coalition of 19 attorneys general in suing President Trump over his executive order on voting restrictions. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts and says voting restrictions are not authorized by the U.S. Constitution or by Congress. Nessel says Trump's order is trying to force state election officials to impose overly burdensome proof of citizenship requirements when people register to vote. And number three ---- U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says that she has received death threats for seeking the death penalty against Luigi Mangione. Mangione, accused of killing the CEO of UnitedHealthCare, has pleaded not guilty to state murder and terrorism charges. His defense attorney has said the allegations were brought by a lawless Justice Department that is being guided by a political decision to seek the death penalty.
Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — U.S. stock futures are plunging, giving an indication of what could be expected today on Wall Street. Dow Jones Industrial, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures all fell roughly four percent Sunday. The Dow saw back-to-back losses of over 15-hundred points for the first time ever last week, while the S&P took a six-percent drop Friday, the worst since March 2020. Two ---- President Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday for talks about new U.S. tariffs. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday that he had invited Netanyahu for discussions. The talks are also expected to address Israel's war in Gaza. Netanyahu's visit could mark the first in-person attempt by a foreign leader to try to negotiate a deal on tariffs. And number three — Actor Jay North, who played Dennis Mitchell in the in the 1960s sitcom "Dennis the Menace" has died at 73. North had been fighting cancer for a number of years, passing away at his home in Florida on Sunday. North also appeared in other shows such as The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Lassie, General Hospital and The Simpsons.

From peak to valley, the Dow Jones Industrial average fell a little bit more than 3% earlier this month.
The Dow Jones Industrial average and the S&P 500, pulling back from their recently conquered millennium levels; 44,000 and 6,000.
Los riesgos geopolíticos, el cambio de ciclo con los tipos de interés, las elecciones en EEUU, el temor a un aterrizaje no tan suave como se espera de la economía global... Las amenazas que enfrentan los mercados -y el planeta en general- en las próximas semanas y meses son casi incuantificables. Sin embargo, los parqués de Europa y EEUU no están reaccionando con temor. Y los inversores tampoco deberían tenerlos si son capaces de seguir al pie de la letra una hoja de ruta en la que se incluyan los niveles de stop óptimos en los que vender si los bajistas toman el control.Así lo explica Joan Cabrero en su comentario estratégico semanal y en el último episodio del podcast Estrategia de Mercado en el que el experto muestra su confianza en que el Russell 2000 siga la estela de sus compatriotas, el Nasdaq, el S&P 500 y el Dow Jones Industrial, que ya lograron recuperar los niveles alcanzados en 2021."Mi recomendación ha sido confiar en la sólida tendencia alcista de fondo, aprovechando las caídas que vimos en septiembre y agosto para comprar. Sigo insistiendo en que no habrá motivos de preocupación mientras no se pierdan soportes clave, como los mínimos de septiembre (que he denominado línea amarilla) y los de agosto (línea roja)", explica el analista técnico.Sin embargo, el experto añade un nuevo nivel para vigilar en el corto plazo: "los mínimos de octubre serán la nueva línea amarilla, los de septiembre pasarán a ser la línea naranja, y los de agosto mantendrán su estatus como línea roja", explica.En este contexto, solo se puede hablar de debilidad y agotamiento comprador a corto plazo si los índices pierden esas líneas. "Operativamente", destaca el analista "la estrategia que sugiero es hacer lo que llamo el acordeón con la exposición, es decir, ir aumentando a medida que los precios siguen al alza y reducirla a medida que estos soportes fueran cediendo"Mientras eso no ocurra, habrá mantener una exposición alta a bolsa hasta que el Russell 2000 alcance sus altos de 2021. Una vez cumplido ese objetivo, será el momento adecuado para recoger beneficios parciales, especialmente en aquellas empresas que han experimentado subidas verticales en las últimas semanas.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Adam Baley Mike Hoelzl (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (April 15-19, 2024) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports No major announcements Monday In a further sign of economic resilience, consumers continued spending at stores in March with retail sales advancing 0.7% from February. The Commerce Department reported that 8 of 13 major categories had sales increases in March, including a 2.7% gain for online retailers and a 2.1% rise for gas stations, where sales increased in part because of higher prices. Sales at car dealers declined 1.1%. Furniture stores, appliance centers and sporting goods retailers also suffered setbacks. Sales at bars and restaurants increased by 0.4%, suggesting consumers remain comfortable spending. Adjusted for inflation, retail sales rose 0.3%, a second consecutive gain. Tuesday The U.S. housing market continued to suggest weakness in March as the pace for both housing starts and building permits stayed below pre-pandemic levels. Figures from the Commerce Department showed new construction about 25% below its pace in mid-2022. The pace of housing permits, an indicator of commitments to future homebuilding, also continued to hover lower following interest rate boosts by the Federal Reserve two years ago. But both permits and starts remained at levels on par with 2007, before the Great Recession. Meantime, data showed that the rate of houses under construction stayed near record highs, with completions around their fastest pace in 17 years. Increased automotive manufacturing in March helped boost U.S. industrial production by 0.4% in March. The Federal Reserve reported that industrial output rose at the same pace as in February and was unchanged from the year before. Through the first quarter of 2024, industrial production declined at a 1.8% annual rate led by a 12% drop in mining output. The same report showed the capacity utilization rate, a measure of potential inflation pressure, rising for the second month in a row, though it stayed below the long-time average. Wednesday No major announcements Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims was unchanged for the second week in a row, staying 41% under the long-term average, dating to 1967. The measure of employers' reluctance to let workers go continued to indicate a tight labor market. According to Labor Department data, total jobless claims fell to 1.9 million in the latest week, down less than 1% from the week before, though up nearly 7% from the year before. The annual pace of existing home sales sank 4.3% in March, its first setback in four months, dropping 3.7% behind its year-ago rate. The National Association of Realtors said sales have been stagnating because of high interest rates and ongoing low supplies of inventory. The trade group said the median sales price rose 4.8% from the March 2023 to $393,500, the ninth consecutive increase. The Conference Board reported that its index of leading economic indicators declined 0.3% in March, after a slight gain in February. The business research group said the six-month movement of its index contracted at a slower pace. It suggested the U.S. economic outlook was “fragile – even if not recessionary.” Among the challenges ahead, according to the group, are rising consumer debt, higher interest rates and stubbornly elevated inflation rates.

The Consumer Price Index, the broadest measure of inflation, rose to a 3.5% year-to-year rate, bouncing higher for the second month in a row after falling from as high as 9.1% in June 2022. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said increased costs for shelter, gasoline and car insurance contributed to faster inflation, keeping it above the Fed's long-range target of 2%. A core measure of CPI, which excluded volatile food and energy prices, stayed at a year-to-year rate of 3.8% for the second month in a row. Thursday Inflation on the wholesale level rose in March with the Producer Price Index gaining 0.2%, only one-third of the advance in February. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the index rose 2.1% from March 2023, the fastest 12-month pace in 11 months. Costs for services increased while goods prices declined overall, led by gasoline. The core Producer Price Index – excluding volatile prices for energy, food and trade services – rose 0.2% from February and was up 2.8% from the year before, on par with the yearly rate since May. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims dipped for the second time in three weeks, reaching 42% below the long-term average since 1967. The measure of employers' reluctance to let workers go was 3% above its level just before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to data from the Labor Department. Altogether, just under 2 million Americans claimed jobless benefits in the most recent week, down 3.6% from the week before but up 5% from the same time last year. Friday A preliminary April reading of consumer sentiment shows Americans have registered little change since January. The survey-based index from the University of Michigan has been midway between an all-time low in mid-2022 and the optimism level just before the pandemic four years ago. Surveys showed a slight increase in expectations for inflation, which the university said might suggest some frustration with an apparent stalling in the slowdown of inflation.

Sean bienvenidos a un nuevo directo desde Twitter, estamos ya en el UTP291 a solo 9 de celebrar nuestro programa 300. Como oirán en el breve flash previo al programa necesitamos que nos envíen audios de menos de un minuto para felicitarnos, criticarnos o simplemente comentar alguna cosa para que los publiquemos en el programa 300. Aunque no somos muchos sí podemos presumir de tener una audiencia bastante fiel en Buscadores de la Verdad y estaremos encantados de escucharles en ese programa especial. Hemos hablado de muchos temas diferentes durante la nueva etapa en solitario desde que abandoné Canal Zero. Podríamos decir que el primer programa con el sello de UTP podría ser el UTP33 La bomba nuclear que quiso fabricar Franco de julio del 2017. Desde entonces son 258 programas en estos casi siete años, o lo que es lo mismo, un programa cada 9 días. Casi uno a la semana. No ha resultado fácil compaginar la vida familiar y laboral para obtener el tiempo necesario de investigación, lectura y desarrollo de estos casi 260 programas. Y hemos hablado largo y tendido de múltiples temas que pensamos habrán sido de su interés. Hoy tocaremos un tema que creo que no hemos desarrollado nunca y es el de como las élites psicopatocraticas que están en el poder están ejecutando los mismos rituales que se realizaban por ejemplo en el antiguo Egipto. De vez en cuando llega a la opinión pública alguna pincelada como por ejemplo el lanzamiento de esos tres cohetes por parte de la NASA con el nombre de Apep. Apofis, o Apep, representaba en la mitología egipcia a las fuerzas maléficas que habitan el Duat y a las tinieblas. En la wikipedia podemos leer: “Es una serpiente gigantesca, inmortal y poderosa, cuya función consistía en interrumpir el recorrido nocturno de la barca solar conducida por Ra y defendida por Seth, para evitar que consiguiera alcanzar el nuevo día. Para ello empleaba varios métodos: atacaba la barca directamente o culebreaba para provocar bancos de arena donde el navío encallara. Todo ello tenía sólo una finalidad: romper la Maat, el «orden cósmico». Apofis representa el mal, con el que había que luchar para contenerlo; sin embargo, nunca sería aniquilada, solo era dañada o sometida, ya que de otro modo el ciclo solar no podría llevarse a cabo diariamente y el mundo perecería. Para los antiguos egipcios era necesario que existiese el concepto del mal para que el bien fuera posible. Los egipcios creían que, cuando el cielo se teñía de rojo, era a causa de las heridas provocadas a Apofis. También, interpretaron que los eclipses eran obra suya, en la lucha en la Duat.” La vimos en acción en la película del 2016 Dioses de Egipto donde nos describían como reales los mitos egipcios. Y es que cuando produjeron esa película allá por 2016 había otra superproducción de la misma temática que nunca vio la luz, Anunnaki de Jon Gress. Se rumoreo que dejaba demasiado claro como las élites siguen rindiendo culto a estas deidades antiguas. El director de Dioses de Egipto tiene una filmografía envidiable con películas como El cuervo, Dark City, Yo, robot o Señales del futuro y el mismo se ha quejado de que “la dictadura de lo poco original y lo políticamente correcto mató a sus Dioses de Egipto”. El director que es egipcio tuvo que pedir disculpas por la falta de diversidad racial en el reparto y el film fue tan duramente criticado que este magnífico director ya no ha vuelto a rodar. La película con un presupuesto de 140 millones de dólares fue duramente criticada y le costo muchos años llegar a recuperar dicha inversión. Parece que mostró más de lo que debía mostrar y por eso fue castigada. De la otra superproducción que se estaba realizando a la vez ya nunca se supo nada y ahora ni siquiera encontramos restos en internet salvo en páginas de conspiración. El director de Dioses de Egipto nos habla de uno de sus proyectos inacabados: “En una situación en particular estuve trabajando en un proyecto llamado 'Paradise Lost', y estuvimos en ella durante dos años. El estudio gastó 25 millones de dólares, pero lo cancelaron y dijeron: "no vamos a hacerla". Dijeron que era el presupuesto, pero no creo que fuera eso, era demasiado... Ya sabes cómo es el poema de John Milton, tienes a Lucifer transformándose en un santo... Fue considerado blasfemia cuando se escribió en el siglo XVII y todavía parece como algo que enfadaría bastante.” El cine siempre nos mostró el verdadero rostro del poder y los recovecos mas oscuros de éste, aunque muchas veces lo hiciese de una forma ininteligible para el común de los mortales. Esto lo vimos al analizar películas como Eyes wide Shut, El destino de Júpiter o Blade Runner, todas ellas diseccionadas en nuestros Videos Es Clave. Una y otra vez vemos como utilizan fechas clave o nombres mitológicos desde la ciencia más rancia como la NASA, dónde en una burla infinita nos contó que solo podia sacar 33 tornillos de los 35 de la cápsula OSIRIS-REX que envió recientemente a tomar muestras a un asteroide. Un Tuitero y escritor llamado Hidden Amuraka nos cuenta como Estados Unidos es “la última encarnación del Antiguo Egipto y los sistemas más antiguos se construyeron sobre el propio Egipto”. En Breve historia del futuro Jacques Attali nos habla de lo que el llama corazones del imperio y como se van desplazando por el mundo según van apareciendo innovaciones técnicas capitales como el timón de codaste, la máquina de vapor, el motor de explosión y por último la electricidad. Es curioso como el señor Attali no asigna ninguno de esos corazones del imperio en España, que fue un gran imperio durante varios siglos. Si leemos los artículos del puntal de Dios en mi blog y más concretamente el que va a publicar LA LEYENDA DE LAS ESTRELLAS ERRANTES Y LOS REYES DEL TIEMPO (PARTE III) veremos cómo España estaba en la pomada con los reyes imperiales Carlos V y Felipe II. Attali no nombra a los imperios clásicos babilónico, sumerio, egipcio, griego o romano y sin embargo si nos habla de Brujas, Venecia, Amberes, Génova, Amsterdam, Londres, Boston, Nueva York y por ultimo Los Angeles. También nos habla de la última transformación hacia una sociedad nómada que ya no tiene un punto definido en la Tierra desde donde ejercer su poder ya que los objetos nómadas le otorgan ese poder esté donde esté. El poder actual radica en los objetos que utilizan cosas aparentemente intangibles…por ejemplo estoy escribiendo esta entradilla con un ordenador Mac llamado aire. Yo, sin embargo estoy más de acuerdo con el tuitero Hidden Amurak que nos dice que “TODO queda claro cuando uno se da cuenta de que Egipto se convirtió en Grecia, y Grecia en Roma, Roma en Inglaterra e Inglaterra en los Estados Unidos”. No es ningún secreto que los Padres Fundadores Masónicos diseñaron y construyeron Estados Unidos herméticamente. Por ejemplo la ceremonia conocida como el Día de la Inauguración Presidencial ocurre cada cuatro años el 20 de enero (o 21 de enero si el 20 cae en domingo) en el edificio del Capitolio de EE. UU. en Washington D.C frente al obelisco. Tenemos una hierogamia simbólica en el balcón del Capitolio de los EE. UU., que simboliza el vientre siempre embarazado de Isis, frente al Monumento a Washington, el falo erecto de Osiris, con una vesica piscis cual vientre de Isis fertilizado a sus pies. “Un nuevo presidente masónico ha nacido”. Este mismo tuitero nos cuenta de donde proviene que la mayor festividad del último Imperio caiga justamente un dia 4 de julio. “Decir que la Estrella Sirio, la Estrella Ardiente de la Masonería, es importante para las Órdenes Herméticas sería quedarse corto. La Estrella del Perro es el foco central de la religión y las enseñanzas del Antiguo Egipto. Sirio es un sistema estelar triple, astronómicamente, la base de todo el sistema religioso egipcio y, posteriormente, dogón. Los Movimientos Celestes determinaron el Calendario. Su salida heliaca (y la inundación del Nilo) marcó el comienzo del Año Nuevo egipcio. Hasta 35 días antes y 35 días después de que nuestro sol esté en conjunción con la estrella Sirio, aprox. 4 de julio, queda oculto por el resplandor del sol. El 4 de julio es aprox. el Afelio Solar. El Afelio Solar es el punto de la órbita de la Tierra que está más alejado del Sol Y el Sol está en Conjunción con SIRIO, nuestro Sol Espiritual, la Estrella Ardiente de la Masonería. Los egipcios se negaron a enterrar a sus muertos durante los 70 días que Sirio estuvo oculto a la vista porque se creía que Sirio era la puerta al más allá, una puerta a la Duat y cuando Nuestro Sol Físico estaba en conjunción con nuestro Sol Espiritual (Sirio), se creía que era la puerta. estuvo cerrado durante este período anual de 70 días. Los egipcios creían que Sirio era el lugar al que irían las almas de los muertos después de abandonar la tierra, la Duat. Muchas culturas antiguas creían que había otras formas de vida en Sirio que harían contacto con la tierra para ofrecer conocimiento e inteligencia para hacer avanzar a la raza humana.” Es por esto que los Padres Fundadores decidieron vincular el Nacimiento y el Destino de los Estados Unidos a Sirio porque se pensó que esto traería gran prosperidad a la joven nación como lo hacia con Egipto en la antigüedad dado que la aparición de Sirio conocida como la Estrella de Isis o la Estrella del Nilo, marcaba con la inundación anual del Nilo la prosperidad de la que dependían los egipcios para la agricultura. Junto a la Luna y al Sol, en la francmasonería Sirio es el símbolo más importante. Relacionando a la Luna con Isis y al Sol con Osiris, los masones creen que de las dos fuentes de conocimiento (el bien y el mal, el blanco y el negro, lo femenino y lo masculino) nace el hombre perfecto: Horus, que encuentra su representación con la estrella Sirio. Para los masones Sirio, el Ojo en el Cielo, se relaciona directamente con la liberación personal, a través de la adquisición de conocimiento y de alcanzar la verdad absoluta. Verdad que ocultan tras un velo a los profanos. Vemos una clarísima referencia a las dotes liberadoras de Sirio en la película El Show de Truman cuando este se ve sorprendido por algo que cae del cielo, un foco con una pegatina en la que se puede leer literalmente: «Sirius (Canis Major)». El puntal de Dios en sus tres artículos bajo el apelativo de “los reyes del tiempo” nos viene a contar “la conexión entre el mundo material y el inframundo, el conocido mundo de los vivos con el desconocido más allá de después de la muerte y que recrean en esas historias, del que estamos convencidos que es fundamental para la conducción de voluntades.” Yo también he querido plasmar esa misma conexión en lo que serán tres artículo sobre Daniel Sancho. En el primero titulado DANIEL SANCHO. MUERTE Y RESURRECCIÓN DE OSIRIS EN TRES ACTOS ya adelantaba que serian tres, como son tres las triadas de dioses en todas las culturas del planeta. Los 14 pedazos en que es cortado Osiris han sido vueltos a utilizar en este macabro asesinato. En el segundo, DANIEL SANCHO Y LA RESURRECCIÓN TRAS LA PASCUA, les mostraba las conexiones de la iglesia católica con tradiciones mucho más antiguas como esa hierogamia del Cristo de Mena que nos recuerda a la Inauguración Presidencial con obelisco y vesica piscis del Capitolio norteamericano. También les comente la enorme casualidad que el caso de Daniel Sancho “reviva” justamente tras el eclipse del 8 de abril que para mas casualidad pasara por 7 ciudades llamadas Ninive, el nombre de una antigua ciudad babilónica. En todas las culturas se siguen realizando rituales a estas divinidades del cielo que no son otra cosa que llamativos fenómenos atmosféricos como el eclipse que tuvo lugar este lunes 8 de abril o las danzas erráticas de los planetas. Hoy vamos a hablar de ese manejo del tiempo y sus posibles mecanismos que a la larga les permite a los psicopatas que nos mal gobiernan mantenernos en esta jaula con barrotes de oro. Decía el puntal de Dios: “Los esclavos debemos sentir el aroma de la libertad como si fuera de un uso exótico, «que esté ahí», que creamos poseerla. Tenemos la sensación de sentirla con nosotros. Algunos incluso se atreven a arengar que nos pertenece «por derecho divino» (es ironía, no se espanten). Pero no. La imaginamos cercana y tangible, casi dentro de nosotros, pero tan sólo es una fragancia que nos dejan percibir de manera provisional, llena de elementos que son volátiles. Desaparece todos los días para que volvamos a sentir su perfume al día próximo, al rato después, o a la mañana de la siguiente jornada. Y esa es justo la sensación con la que nos mantienen los señores que mueven nuestros hilos, los llamaremos «titiriteros«. Creer que lo eres, «libre«. Decía el escritor, y anterior esclavo afro-americano, Frederick Douglass, que para mantener contento al esclavo era necesario que no pensara. Que debían de oscurecer su visión moral y mental. Aniquilar su poder de razonar. Los amos de los «animalitos» procuran saber y controlar todo lo que oyen, ven y piensan sus criaturas. En nuestros tiempos esto les resulta muy fácil, nosotros mismos facilitamos esa información, algunos incluso con gusto. El patético «yo no tengo nada que esconder». “ ………………………………………………………………………………………. ¿Alguien me explica por qué en el episodio 5 de la 2a temporada del Ministerio del Tiempo (2016) que trata sobre la gripe Española la puerta por la que llega el virus es la ¡2020!? ¿Casualidad o causalidad? La epidemia empieza en el Ministerio el 25 de febrero del 2016. Y la del covid empezó también oficialmente en España el 25 de febrero del 2020. ¿Casualidad o causalidad? Grabado en 2015, emitido en 2016, serie el Ministerio del Tiempo 2a temporada 5 episodio, gripe Española y ¿cuál es el único número de puerta qué aparece en todo el episodio? ¡Bingo! La 2020. ………………………………………………………………………………………. En marzo de 2020 antes incluso de que todos se volvieran locos con el COVID nosotros realizamos un podcast titulado “UTP86 Coronavirus, Akituatraco a las 8” donde les contábamos como ese ritual de salir al balcón a las 8 no fue para nada casual. Alli les contábamos como de esa manera estabamos celebrando la fiesta de la primavera que muchos pueblos siguen celebrando con pequeñas variaciones pero sin apartarse mucho de la creación original que es el llamado festival babilónico de Akitu o Akitum. Este festival babilónico tradicionalmente comenzaba el 4 de Nisannu, fíjense que el primer mes del calendario judio es el mes llamado Nisán. En dicho mes se celebra la Pésaj (en hebreo es Pascua. Y Pascua significa básicamente "paso" o “salto". Es una festividad judía que conmemora la liberación del pueblo hebreo de la esclavitud de Egipto. Este año la Pésaj o pascua judía comenzará al atardecer del 22 de abril del 2024 y culminará al anochecer del 30 de abril del 2024. Curiosamente el festival de la primavera babilonico se llamaba Akitu o traduciéndolo al castellano como el corte de cebada…como ven la cebada es muy importante…por cierto, la cerveza siempre fue un invento hebreo por si no lo sabían. “Para el almacenaje de alcohol durante la Edad Media no era utilizada una estrella roja, sino que los cerveceros bajomedievales centro y noreuropeos usaban la estrella de David. Si se busca información e imágenes sobre "Bierstern" (beer star) o "Brauerstern" (brewer's star), pronto aparece la verdadera forma de dicha estrella. La utilización del Magen David -el escudo de David, el hexagrama- como símbolo de pureza, proviene del volumen fundacional de la tradición cabalística, el Zohar, posiblemente escrito en algún punto del siglo XIII por un judío de Guadalajara, Moisés de León. El barrio judío de Praga ya utilizaba la estrella de David como emblema desde al menos el 1500 d.C., pero se han encontrado barriles de cerveza e ilustraciones de los mismos anteriores a esa fecha que llevan la marca.” Wayne B. Chandler nos dice: “Fue el anciano Egipto donde la estrella de seis picos residió en su completo esplendor. Proclamada como la Estrella de la Creación por los egipcios, esta representaba la unión entre el macho y la hembra energía en naturaleza y en todos los planos de la existencia; pero es también proclamada [en Egipto] como el símbolo la Ley Hermética de la Correspondencia. El triangulo apuntando hacia arriba indica el macrocosmos y el triangulo apuntado hacia abajo indica el microcosmos; dos formas idénticas enclavadas pero independientes, cada parte representando un todo” La estrella de 6 puntas mucho antes de ser conocida como estrella del rey David era llamada la estrella de los magos y como hemos podido comprobar los judíos se llevaron este conocimiento tras su paso por Egipto. No se crean que se colgaba una estrella de 6 puntas por colgar encima de un barril para que fermentase, esto entronca con dioses como Baco o Dioniso y evidentemente estaríamos hablando de posesiones por entidades…lo que la ciencia en la actualidad simplemente cataloga de daños etílicos en el cerebelo. Pero no es del gusto etílico de lo que quiero hablarles si no de como durante el encierro del Covid practicamos obedientemente y sin saberlo ese festival babilónico del Akitu o Akitum. Ese año de cambios trascendentales, el 2020, en la gran mutación, en la toma del poder por supuestamente otra facción el celebrar este ritual que como les dije antes significa paso o salto. Y es que verdaderamente vamos a pasar de la sociedad 3.0 a la 4.0. Del capitalismo tradicional al nuevo capitalismo donde solo unos pocos serán verdaderamente productivos y el resto se mantendrán solo como meros consumidores resignados a comer las migajas que le sobre al resto. Como dice nuestro amigo Peter House: “En el calendario hebreo el 14 de Nisán comienza en la noche de luna llena después del equinoccio vernal que en el actual 2020 empezará en la tarde del 8 abril (la tercera superluna) y acabará en la tarde del jueves 16 de abril. Es una festividad judía que conmemora la liberación del pueblo hebreo de la esclavitud de Egipto y que también recibe el nombre de ‘Fiesta de la Primavera’, ya que marca el inicio de dicha estación. Las regulaciones bíblicas relativas a la primera vez que la festividad fuera observada, es decir en el momento del Éxodo de Egipto, incluyen instrucciones sobre cómo la comida deberá consumirse: "ceñidos vuestros lomos, vuestro calzado en vuestros pies, y vuestro bastón en vuestra mano; y lo comeréis apresuradamente. Es la Pascua del señor” (Exodo 12:11).” Esto suena un poco a los cordones que ciñen las túnicas de los cofrades de Semana Santa y recordemos que el color de la Pascua, el color liturgico es el morado. Y el morado es la unión del color rojo, hombre y del color azul o mujer. Estamos ante un hexagrama. “En alquimia, los dos triángulos representan la reconciliación de los opuestos de fuego y agua. La Kabbalah no judía (también llamada Kabbalah cristiana o hermética) interpreta que el hexagrama significa la unión divina de la energía masculina y femenina, donde el macho está representado por el triángulo superior (denominado la "cuchilla") y la hembra por la inferior uno (referido como el "cáliz"). “ ¿Y por qué nos hicieron salir a aplaudir a las 8 y no a otra hora? El 8 es muy importante para la adoración de Ishtar la diosa babilónica del amor y la belleza, de la vida, de la fertilidad o sea de la primavera. Se la asocia al planeta Venus, estrella de la mañana y del anochecer. Su símbolo es una estrella de ocho puntas. En su honor, los astrónomos han llamado Ishtar Terra a un continente de Venus. Ištar no es una diosa del matrimonio, ni es una diosa madre. El matrimonio sagrado o la sacra hierogamia, que se representaba todos los años en el templo babilónico, no tiene un implicación moral ni es modelo de matrimonios terrestres, es un rito de fertilidad altamente estilizado con tonos litúrgicos. …………………………………………… ¿Se acuerdan que este ultimo eclipse pasó por siete ciudades llamadas Ninive en Estados Unidos? Nínive fue la capital y ciudad más grande del Imperio neoasirio, llegó a ser la más grande del mundo durante aproximadamente cincuenta años hasta el año 612 a. C. Allí se celebraba el Akitu babilónico, uno de los primeros rituales del tiempo conocidos. El festival babilónico tradicionalmente comenzó el 4 de Nisannu. Todas las personas en la ciudad la celebrarían, incluyendo el awilu (clase alta), muskena (clase media), wardu (clase baja), el sumo sacerdote y el rey. Primero al tercer día El sacerdote de Ésagila(La casa de Marduk) recitaba oraciones tristes con los otros sacerdotes y la gente respondía con oraciones igualmente tristes que expresaban el temor de la humanidad a lo desconocido. Este miedo a lo desconocido explica por qué el sumo sacerdote se dirigía a la Ésagila todos los días pidiendo el perdón de Marduk, rogándole que protegiera a Babilonia, su ciudad santa, y pidiéndole que le favoreciera. Esta oración se llamó "El secreto de Ésagila". Dice lo siguiente: "Señor sin igual en tu ira, Señor, rey misericordioso, señor de las tierras, que hizo la salvación de los grandes dioses, Señor, que derribó a los fuertes con su mirada, Señor de reyes, luz de los hombres, que repartes destinos, oh Señor, Babilonia es tu asiento, Borsippa tu corona Los anchos cielos son tu cuerpo ... Dentro de tus brazos tomas a los fuertes ... Con tu mirada les concedes gracia, haz que vean la luz para que proclamen tu poder. Señor de las tierras, luz de los Igigi, que anuncia las bendiciones; ¿Quién no proclamaría tu, sí, tu poder? ¿No hablarías de tu majestad, alabarás tu dominio? Señor de las tierras, que vive en Eudul, que toma a los caídos de la mano; Ten piedad de tu ciudad, Babilonia. Vuelve tu rostro hacia Esagila, tu templo. ¡Da libertad a los que habitan en Babilonia, tus barrios! Al tercer día, artesanos especiales crearían dos títeres hechos de madera, oro y piedras preciosas y los vestirían de rojo. Estas marionetas se dejaron de lado y se utilizarían en el sexto día. Cuarto día Se seguirían los mismos rituales que en los tres días anteriores. Antes del amanecer, los sacerdotes buscaron el grupo sagrado de estrellas IKU ( "Campo" ). Durante el día se recitaría la Epopeya de la Creación, Enuma Elish . El Enuma Elish es probablemente la historia más antigua sobre el nacimiento de los dioses y la creación del universo y los seres humanos. Luego explica cómo todos los dioses se unieron en el dios Marduk, después de su victoria sobre Tiamat. La recitación de esta epopeya se consideró el comienzo de los preparativos para la sumisión del Rey de Babilonia ante Marduk en el quinto día de Akitu. Durante la noche se realizó un drama que elogió a Marduk también. Quinto día La sumisión del rey de Babilonia ante Marduk. El rey entraría a la Esagila acompañado por los sacerdotes, se acercarían todos juntos al altar donde el sumo sacerdote de la Esagila se hace pasar por Marduk, luego se acerca al rey, comienza a despojarlo de sus joyas, cetro e incluso su corona y luego abofetea fuerte mientras se arrodilla en el altar y comienza a orar pidiendo el perdón de Marduk y se somete a él diciendo: "No he pecado, oh Señor del universo, y no he descuidado tu poder celestial en absoluto" ... Entonces el sacerdote en el papel de Marduk dice: "No tengas miedo de lo que Marduk tiene que decir, porque él escuchará tus oraciones, extenderá tu poder y aumentará la grandeza de tu reinado". La eliminación de todas las posesiones mundanas es un símbolo de la sumisión que el rey le da a Marduk. Después de esto, el rey se levantaría y el sacerdote le devolvería sus joyas, su cetro y su corona y luego lo abofetearía con la esperanza de que el rey derramara lágrimas, porque eso expresaría más la sumisión a Marduk y el respeto a su poder. Cuando el sacerdote devuelve la corona al rey, eso significa que Marduk renovó su poder, por lo que abril se consideraría no solo el renacimiento de la naturaleza y la vida, sino también del Estado. Por lo tanto, estas ceremonias harían que las personalidades más grandes y temidas de la época se sometieran al dios más grande y vivieran un momento de humildad con toda la población, compartiendo oraciones para demostrar su fe ante el poder de Dios. Tras su presencia en su hogar terrenal, Babilonia, y renovando el poder de su rey, el dios Marduk se queda en el Etemenanki (un zigurat o torre compuesta de siete pisos, conocida en elTorá como la Torre de Babilonia) donde estaba la vivienda de Marduk o en el templo de Esagila (en la Torá Dios moraría en una "montaña" Salmos 74: 2). Durante este día, según la tradición de Akitu, Marduk entraría en su vivienda y se sorprendería de los dioses malvados que lucharían contra él, luego Tiamat, el monstruo del caos y la diosa del océano, lo tomará prisionero y esperará la llegada de su hijo. Dios Nabu quien lo salvaría de "Nada" y le devolvería la gloria. Aqui debemos acordarnos que todo el melón del rey emérito se abrió para esas fechas, apareciendo las fundaciones Zagatka y Lucum bajo sospecha en Suiza relacionadas con el Rey emérito. Sexto día Antes de que llegaran los dioses, el día estaría lleno de conmoción. Las marionetas que se hicieron el tercer día se quemarían y también se realizarían simulacros de batalla. Esta conmoción significaba que sin Marduk, la ciudad estaría en constante caos. La llegada de Dios Nabu en botes acompañados por sus asistentes de valientes dioses que vienen de Nippur , Uruk , Kishy Eridu (ciudades de la antigua Babilonia). Los dioses que acompañaban a Nabu estarían representados por estatuas que se montarían en botes hechos especialmente para la ocasión. Aquí, la gran cantidad de personas comenzaría a caminar detrás de su rey hacia la Esagila, donde Marduk es prisionero, cantando lo siguiente: "Aquí está el que viene de lejos para restaurar la gloria de nuestro padre encarcelado". Séptimo día Al tercer día de su encarcelamiento, Nabu libera a Marduk. Los dioses malvados habían cerrado una gran puerta detrás de él cuando entró en su vivienda. Marduk estaría peleando hasta la llegada de Nabu, cuando irrumpiría en la gran puerta y una batalla continuaría entre los dos grupos, hasta que Nabu salga victorioso y libere a Marduk. Octavo día Cuando Marduk es liberado, las estatuas de los dioses se reúnen en el Salón de los Destinos "Ubshu-Ukkina", para deliberar sobre su destino, allí se decide unir todas las fuerzas de los dioses y otorgarlas a Marduk. Aquí, el rey implora a todos los dioses que apoyen y honren a Marduk, y esta tradición era una indicación de que Marduk recibió la sumisión de todos los dioses y era único en su posición. Noveno día La procesión de la victoria a la "Casa de Akitu", donde se celebra la victoria de Marduk al comienzo de la Creación sobre el dragón Tiamat (diosa de las aguas inferiores). La Casa de Akitu, que los asirios de Nínive llamaron "Bet Ekribi" ("Casa de Oraciones" en idioma asirio antiguo), estaba a unos 200 metros de las murallas de la ciudad, donde había árboles maravillosos decorados y regados cuidadosamente por respeto al dios quien ha considerado el que le otorga vida a la naturaleza. La procesión de la victoria fue la forma en que la población expresó su alegría por la renovación del poder de Marduk (Ashur) y la destrucción de las fuerzas del mal que casi controlaban la vida al principio. Décimo día Al llegar a "Bet Akitu", el dios Marduk comienza a celebrar con los dioses del mundo superior e inferior (las estatuas de los dioses estaban dispuestas alrededor de una mesa enorme, como en una fiesta), luego Marduk regresa a la ciudad por la noche para celebrar su matrimonio con la diosa "Ishtar", donde la tierra y el cielo están unidos, y como los dioses se unen, así se organiza esta unión en la tierra. Así, el rey personifica esta unión jugando el papel de casarse con la más alta sacerdotisa de la Esagila donde ambos se sentarían en el trono ante la población y recitarían poemas especiales para la ocasión. Este amor dará vida en primavera. Undécimo día Los dioses regresan acompañados por su Lord Marduk para encontrarse nuevamente en el Salón de los Destinos "Upshu Ukkina", donde se encontraron por primera vez el octavo día, esta vez decidirán el destino de la gente de Marduk. En la antigua filosofía asiria, la creación en general se consideraba como un pacto entre el cielo y la tierra siempre que un humano sirviera a los dioses hasta su muerte, por lo tanto, la felicidad de los dioses no está completa, excepto si los humanos también son felices, por lo tanto, el destino de un humano ser dado felicidad con la condición de que sirva a los dioses. Entonces Marduk y los dioses renuevan su alianza con Babilonia, prometiéndole a la ciudad otro ciclo de estaciones. Después de que se decide el destino de la humanidad, Marduk regresa a los cielos. Duodécimo día El último día de Akitu. Los dioses regresan al templo de Marduk (las estatuas se devuelven al templo) y la vida diaria se reanuda en Babilonia, Nínive y el resto de las ciudades asirias. La gente comienza a arar y prepararse para otro ciclo de estaciones. ………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Voy a utilizar algunos tuits miss y de el puntal de Dios comentando las jugadas que hacen los políticos en España para que vean como se las gastan con el tema del control del tiempo. Desde aquel "atropellamiento masivo de las Ramblas" ejecutado por el recurrente yihadismo donde se aceleraron los acontecimientos en el "procés" catalán. A los 9 meses justos y a las 11 y 33 horas se ritualizó el nombramiento del 131 president. Justo el 17/5/18 se cumplían los 9 meses del atentado de las Ramblas de Barcelona del 17/8/17. Como si de un embarazo se tratara se "transmutó" un 'rey cobarde' en TORRA a las 11:33 horas. Ritual para el 131 president de la Generalitat en la sala de la VIRGEN NEGRA. El 132 president, Pere Aragonés, fue investido 1100 días (1++1+0+0=11) después de la toma de posesión del 131. ¿parece un engranaje numérico, no creen? Tan sólo 15 días después, como si de una Luna Nueva se pasase a su fase plena, Pedro, el Indestructible, tomaba el cielo del Gobierno de España por asalto (casualidades de la vida) a las 11 y 33 horas del 1 de Junio del 2018. ¿Y Pedro, el Indestructible, utilizará la numerología para "hacer magia" en unas elecciones que tenía perdidas a ojos del profano? En el 5º aniversario de su "asalto al Congreso", con la connivencia de Mariano Rajoy, convoca elecciones generales a 55 días vista. Conforme al punto 177.4 del reglamento del Congreso de los Diputados hubo que iniciar la votación si o si a las 11 de la mañana. Bueno a las 11 y 1 minuto que es más resultón. ¿Se acuerdan de la turra que dieron con aplicar el articulo 155 de la Constitución? ¿Y en qué puesto voto el Sr Rajoy? Pues en el ¡¡¡155!!! ¿Cuál si no? ¿Hay una especie de hermandad que tiene una especial fijación con un juramento en las "sagradas escrituras" que mencionen ese 133? Hace unos años señalamos esa pista y todos esos caminos conducen a esos templos fraternales discretos. Leo textualmente lo que los propios masones dicen sobre el salmo 133 de la Biblia: “Uno de los temas más llamativos para quien ingresa a una logia masónica por primera vez, es sin duda la lectura del salmo 133 antes del inicio de los trabajos masónicos. Pero ¿es así en todos los rituales del mundo? ¿existen otros pasajes bíblicos que se lean en el primer grado? ¿qué significa el salmo 133 en la masonería? Un dato interesante que vale la pena señalar respecto del salmo 133 es que forma parte del último libro de salmos. Además, en la tradición judía, es uno de los 73 salmos a los que se les atribuye como autor al Rey David, padre de Salomón, rey edificador del primer templo. Dentro de la tradición masónica, el salmo 133 ha sido identificado como el salmo que más se acerca a los ideales de la institución.” ¿Por qué el "brujo" Puigdemont lanza un órdago de todo o nada a 33 días de las elecciones? El 12 de Mayo en año bisiesto es el día 133 en curso. Él mismo fue el 130 president y aspira a ser el 133¿Será un patrón "numerológico" qué enlace con otros sucesos ceremoniales anteriores? ………………………………………………………………………………………. simbologia, un texto de PeterHouse Pro Cuando escribí sobre la relación entre la cuaresma, la pascua judía y el Akitu no pensé que se hablaría del tema y por no alargar mucho el escrito no profundicé mucho en el paralelismo de lo que vivimos hoy en España y los rituales mesopotámicos. El conocimiento de estos rituales ha sido transmitido entre la élite y son la base de la ingeniería social que sufrimos hoy. Cada cultura o civilización que los ha ido adoptando le ha introducido o eliminado elementos a conveniencia y así sucesivamente hasta nuestros días. La parte superficial de estos rituales mágicos ha cambiado pero no la esencia y su utilidad. En la naturaleza existen ciclos, así como a la psique humana le cuesta identificar patrones exponenciales y evidentemente recrearlos con el pensamiento también le cuesta identificar esos ciclos naturales. Hoy en día todo el mundo conoce el ciclo anual que llamamos estaciones del año, pero no siempre fue así, hubo un tiempo, cuando este y otros ciclos empezaban a ser identificados por las mentes más inquietas en que el conocimiento en torno a estos cálculos estaba velado para el común de los mortales. Al tiempo que la élite ha profundizado en el conocimiento de todo tipo de ciclos los ha sabido identificar en la naturaleza cada vez más y día a día ha ido sacando provecho de su control. Esto se puede observar en todo tipo de campos, desde algo tan físico y cuantificable como la mecánica de movimiento armónico hasta algo tan ancestral como la agricultura. Así como el ingeniero sabe cómo aprovechar el movimiento armónico para emplear la menor energía posible (el péndulo es símbolo de esto), el agricultor sabe cómo sacar el máximo provecho de su cosecha y estos conocimientos son el cúmulo de miles de años de conocimiento transmitido de generación en generación. Estos conocimientos son guardados celosamente durante mucho tiempo y conforme la élite es capaz de alcanzar niveles nuevos de sabiduría el pueblo llano va teniendo, poco a poco, acceso a los conocimientos ya obsoletos para el Poder, como si de algo novedoso se tratara. Esto le sirve para tener una sociedad lo suficientemente productiva pero lo suficientemente limitada. Esto, que es fácil de identificar en la agricultura se puede aplicar a absolutamente a todo lo que tiene que ver con el conocimiento, cualquier rama de cualquier ciencia. El Poder aplica a la gran la masa de seres humanos que controla el mismo tratamiento que da a las diferentes masas que ha aprendido a gestionar, por ejemplo la economía. Es decir, a la tierra, a la gente y al dinero se los somete a ciclos que los hacen producir más y mejor, podando o poniendo en barbecho según dicte el conocimiento de los ciclos naturales. La expresión ‘año sabático’, en hebreo ‘Shmitá’ proviene del séptimo año del ciclo agrícola de siete años ordenado por la Torá para la Tierra de Israel, observado aún en el judaísmo actual. Durante la shmitá la ley judía prohíbe toda actividad agrícola, incluyendo arar, plantar, podar y cosechar. Una variedad de leyes también se aplican a la venta, consumo y disposición de productos y todas las deudas, excepto las de los extranjeros, que debían ser remitidas. El Capítulo 25 del Libro de Levítico promete abundantes cosechas a quienes observan la shmitá, esto es algo que se aprecia en cómo la élite maneja la economía; el 29 de septiembre de 2008 el índice Dow Jones Industrial caía 777,7 (77,68) puntos, un 7%, la mayor de su historia en puntos, la segunda mayor caída anterior fue el 1 de septiembre de 2001, un 7,13%; ambas caídas ocurrieron un 29 de Elul, fecha que marca el fin del Shmita y día en que en el judaísmo se hace una ceremonia de “substitución” para celebrar el fin de las deudas durante el Rosh Hashaná. Es una perfecta ingeniería social porque, como el barbecho debe hacerse para darle a la tierra un ciclo sostenible, introducir la shmitá en una sociedad agrícola genera una sociedad de excedentes, se promueve el ahorro y la banca y se evita el sobre-endeudamiento, el año de descanso agrícola le da al país cierto paro pero incrementa el comercio internacional, la población flotante de pobres se mantiene y la élite de esa sociedad probablemente terminará convirtiéndose en acreedora internacional. De hecho, solamente ha tenido que hacer cumplir las escrituras: Deuteronomio 15:1-6 “Al cabo de cada siete años harás remisión de deudas. Así se hará la remisión: todo acreedor hará remisión de lo que haya prestado a su prójimo; no lo exigirá de su prójimo ni de su hermano, porque se ha proclamado la remisión del Señor. De un extranjero lo puedes exigir, pero tu mano perdonará cualquier cosa tuya que tu hermano tenga. Sin embargo, no habrá menesteroso entre ustedes, ya que el Señor de cierto te bendecirá en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da por heredad para poseerla, si solo escuchas fielmente la voz del Señor tu Dios, para guardar cuidadosamente todo este mandamiento que te ordeno hoy. Pues el Señor tu Dios te bendecirá como te ha prometido, y tú prestarás a muchas naciones, pero tú no tomarás prestado; y tendrás dominio sobre muchas naciones, pero ellas no tendrán dominio sobre ti.” Hoy en día, tras la destrucción de las entre comillas “columnas gemelas” y la construcción del One World Trade Center, el concepto de Israel se ha expandido a todo el mundo globalizado y se le aplica a la sociedad mundial esta misma magia, la maldición del 9 de Av que hemos conocido de manos de Aingeru García es una de estas podas que se le hace a la masa de gente como control eugenésico. No hay que esperar el nacimiento de ninguna vaca roja ni la construcción de un tercer templo, ése templo es el planeta entero y ahora que la comunidad es global esa magia se aplica de muchas formas pero son identificables porque la élite, por un motivo u otro (algo que deberá abordarse) está sujeta a los ritos y estos, al estar relacionados con los astros y por lo tanto con los números, pueden ser descubiertos. «El tiempo saca a la luz todo lo que está oculto y encubre y esconde lo que ahora brilla con el más grande esplendor.» Horacio. Siglo I antes de Cristo. El mal vende. Y vende bien. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: …. Dra Yane #JusticiaParaUTP @ayec98_2 Médico y Buscadora de la verdad. Con Dios siempre!

Sean bienvenidos a un nuevo directo desde Twitter, estamos ya en el UTP291 a solo 9 de celebrar nuestro programa 300. Como oirán en el breve flash previo al programa necesitamos que nos envíen audios de menos de un minuto para felicitarnos, criticarnos o simplemente comentar alguna cosa para que los publiquemos en el programa 300. Aunque no somos muchos sí podemos presumir de tener una audiencia bastante fiel en Buscadores de la Verdad y estaremos encantados de escucharles en ese programa especial. Hemos hablado de muchos temas diferentes durante la nueva etapa en solitario desde que abandoné Canal Zero. Podríamos decir que el primer programa con el sello de UTP podría ser el UTP33 La bomba nuclear que quiso fabricar Franco de julio del 2017. Desde entonces son 258 programas en estos casi siete años, o lo que es lo mismo, un programa cada 9 días. Casi uno a la semana. No ha resultado fácil compaginar la vida familiar y laboral para obtener el tiempo necesario de investigación, lectura y desarrollo de estos casi 260 programas. Y hemos hablado largo y tendido de múltiples temas que pensamos habrán sido de su interés. Hoy tocaremos un tema que creo que no hemos desarrollado nunca y es el de como las élites psicopatocraticas que están en el poder están ejecutando los mismos rituales que se realizaban por ejemplo en el antiguo Egipto. De vez en cuando llega a la opinión pública alguna pincelada como por ejemplo el lanzamiento de esos tres cohetes por parte de la NASA con el nombre de Apep. Apofis, o Apep, representaba en la mitología egipcia a las fuerzas maléficas que habitan el Duat y a las tinieblas. En la wikipedia podemos leer: “Es una serpiente gigantesca, inmortal y poderosa, cuya función consistía en interrumpir el recorrido nocturno de la barca solar conducida por Ra y defendida por Seth, para evitar que consiguiera alcanzar el nuevo día. Para ello empleaba varios métodos: atacaba la barca directamente o culebreaba para provocar bancos de arena donde el navío encallara. Todo ello tenía sólo una finalidad: romper la Maat, el «orden cósmico». Apofis representa el mal, con el que había que luchar para contenerlo; sin embargo, nunca sería aniquilada, solo era dañada o sometida, ya que de otro modo el ciclo solar no podría llevarse a cabo diariamente y el mundo perecería. Para los antiguos egipcios era necesario que existiese el concepto del mal para que el bien fuera posible. Los egipcios creían que, cuando el cielo se teñía de rojo, era a causa de las heridas provocadas a Apofis. También, interpretaron que los eclipses eran obra suya, en la lucha en la Duat.” La vimos en acción en la película del 2016 Dioses de Egipto donde nos describían como reales los mitos egipcios. Y es que cuando produjeron esa película allá por 2016 había otra superproducción de la misma temática que nunca vio la luz, Anunnaki de Jon Gress. Se rumoreo que dejaba demasiado claro como las élites siguen rindiendo culto a estas deidades antiguas. El director de Dioses de Egipto tiene una filmografía envidiable con películas como El cuervo, Dark City, Yo, robot o Señales del futuro y el mismo se ha quejado de que “la dictadura de lo poco original y lo políticamente correcto mató a sus Dioses de Egipto”. El director que es egipcio tuvo que pedir disculpas por la falta de diversidad racial en el reparto y el film fue tan duramente criticado que este magnífico director ya no ha vuelto a rodar. La película con un presupuesto de 140 millones de dólares fue duramente criticada y le costo muchos años llegar a recuperar dicha inversión. Parece que mostró más de lo que debía mostrar y por eso fue castigada. De la otra superproducción que se estaba realizando a la vez ya nunca se supo nada y ahora ni siquiera encontramos restos en internet salvo en páginas de conspiración. El director de Dioses de Egipto nos habla de uno de sus proyectos inacabados: “En una situación en particular estuve trabajando en un proyecto llamado 'Paradise Lost', y estuvimos en ella durante dos años. El estudio gastó 25 millones de dólares, pero lo cancelaron y dijeron: "no vamos a hacerla". Dijeron que era el presupuesto, pero no creo que fuera eso, era demasiado... Ya sabes cómo es el poema de John Milton, tienes a Lucifer transformándose en un santo... Fue considerado blasfemia cuando se escribió en el siglo XVII y todavía parece como algo que enfadaría bastante.” El cine siempre nos mostró el verdadero rostro del poder y los recovecos mas oscuros de éste, aunque muchas veces lo hiciese de una forma ininteligible para el común de los mortales. Esto lo vimos al analizar películas como Eyes wide Shut, El destino de Júpiter o Blade Runner, todas ellas diseccionadas en nuestros Videos Es Clave. Una y otra vez vemos como utilizan fechas clave o nombres mitológicos desde la ciencia más rancia como la NASA, dónde en una burla infinita nos contó que solo podia sacar 33 tornillos de los 35 de la cápsula OSIRIS-REX que envió recientemente a tomar muestras a un asteroide. Un Tuitero y escritor llamado Hidden Amuraka nos cuenta como Estados Unidos es “la última encarnación del Antiguo Egipto y los sistemas más antiguos se construyeron sobre el propio Egipto”. En Breve historia del futuro Jacques Attali nos habla de lo que el llama corazones del imperio y como se van desplazando por el mundo según van apareciendo innovaciones técnicas capitales como el timón de codaste, la máquina de vapor, el motor de explosión y por último la electricidad. Es curioso como el señor Attali no asigna ninguno de esos corazones del imperio en España, que fue un gran imperio durante varios siglos. Si leemos los artículos del puntal de Dios en mi blog y más concretamente el que va a publicar LA LEYENDA DE LAS ESTRELLAS ERRANTES Y LOS REYES DEL TIEMPO (PARTE III) veremos cómo España estaba en la pomada con los reyes imperiales Carlos V y Felipe II. Attali no nombra a los imperios clásicos babilónico, sumerio, egipcio, griego o romano y sin embargo si nos habla de Brujas, Venecia, Amberes, Génova, Amsterdam, Londres, Boston, Nueva York y por ultimo Los Angeles. También nos habla de la última transformación hacia una sociedad nómada que ya no tiene un punto definido en la Tierra desde donde ejercer su poder ya que los objetos nómadas le otorgan ese poder esté donde esté. El poder actual radica en los objetos que utilizan cosas aparentemente intangibles…por ejemplo estoy escribiendo esta entradilla con un ordenador Mac llamado aire. Yo, sin embargo estoy más de acuerdo con el tuitero Hidden Amurak que nos dice que “TODO queda claro cuando uno se da cuenta de que Egipto se convirtió en Grecia, y Grecia en Roma, Roma en Inglaterra e Inglaterra en los Estados Unidos”. No es ningún secreto que los Padres Fundadores Masónicos diseñaron y construyeron Estados Unidos herméticamente. Por ejemplo la ceremonia conocida como el Día de la Inauguración Presidencial ocurre cada cuatro años el 20 de enero (o 21 de enero si el 20 cae en domingo) en el edificio del Capitolio de EE. UU. en Washington D.C frente al obelisco. Tenemos una hierogamia simbólica en el balcón del Capitolio de los EE. UU., que simboliza el vientre siempre embarazado de Isis, frente al Monumento a Washington, el falo erecto de Osiris, con una vesica piscis cual vientre de Isis fertilizado a sus pies. “Un nuevo presidente masónico ha nacido”. Este mismo tuitero nos cuenta de donde proviene que la mayor festividad del último Imperio caiga justamente un dia 4 de julio. “Decir que la Estrella Sirio, la Estrella Ardiente de la Masonería, es importante para las Órdenes Herméticas sería quedarse corto. La Estrella del Perro es el foco central de la religión y las enseñanzas del Antiguo Egipto. Sirio es un sistema estelar triple, astronómicamente, la base de todo el sistema religioso egipcio y, posteriormente, dogón. Los Movimientos Celestes determinaron el Calendario. Su salida heliaca (y la inundación del Nilo) marcó el comienzo del Año Nuevo egipcio. Hasta 35 días antes y 35 días después de que nuestro sol esté en conjunción con la estrella Sirio, aprox. 4 de julio, queda oculto por el resplandor del sol. El 4 de julio es aprox. el Afelio Solar. El Afelio Solar es el punto de la órbita de la Tierra que está más alejado del Sol Y el Sol está en Conjunción con SIRIO, nuestro Sol Espiritual, la Estrella Ardiente de la Masonería. Los egipcios se negaron a enterrar a sus muertos durante los 70 días que Sirio estuvo oculto a la vista porque se creía que Sirio era la puerta al más allá, una puerta a la Duat y cuando Nuestro Sol Físico estaba en conjunción con nuestro Sol Espiritual (Sirio), se creía que era la puerta. estuvo cerrado durante este período anual de 70 días. Los egipcios creían que Sirio era el lugar al que irían las almas de los muertos después de abandonar la tierra, la Duat. Muchas culturas antiguas creían que había otras formas de vida en Sirio que harían contacto con la tierra para ofrecer conocimiento e inteligencia para hacer avanzar a la raza humana.” Es por esto que los Padres Fundadores decidieron vincular el Nacimiento y el Destino de los Estados Unidos a Sirio porque se pensó que esto traería gran prosperidad a la joven nación como lo hacia con Egipto en la antigüedad dado que la aparición de Sirio conocida como la Estrella de Isis o la Estrella del Nilo, marcaba con la inundación anual del Nilo la prosperidad de la que dependían los egipcios para la agricultura. Junto a la Luna y al Sol, en la francmasonería Sirio es el símbolo más importante. Relacionando a la Luna con Isis y al Sol con Osiris, los masones creen que de las dos fuentes de conocimiento (el bien y el mal, el blanco y el negro, lo femenino y lo masculino) nace el hombre perfecto: Horus, que encuentra su representación con la estrella Sirio. Para los masones Sirio, el Ojo en el Cielo, se relaciona directamente con la liberación personal, a través de la adquisición de conocimiento y de alcanzar la verdad absoluta. Verdad que ocultan tras un velo a los profanos. Vemos una clarísima referencia a las dotes liberadoras de Sirio en la película El Show de Truman cuando este se ve sorprendido por algo que cae del cielo, un foco con una pegatina en la que se puede leer literalmente: «Sirius (Canis Major)». El puntal de Dios en sus tres artículos bajo el apelativo de “los reyes del tiempo” nos viene a contar “la conexión entre el mundo material y el inframundo, el conocido mundo de los vivos con el desconocido más allá de después de la muerte y que recrean en esas historias, del que estamos convencidos que es fundamental para la conducción de voluntades.” Yo también he querido plasmar esa misma conexión en lo que serán tres artículo sobre Daniel Sancho. En el primero titulado DANIEL SANCHO. MUERTE Y RESURRECCIÓN DE OSIRIS EN TRES ACTOS ya adelantaba que serian tres, como son tres las triadas de dioses en todas las culturas del planeta. Los 14 pedazos en que es cortado Osiris han sido vueltos a utilizar en este macabro asesinato. En el segundo, DANIEL SANCHO Y LA RESURRECCIÓN TRAS LA PASCUA, les mostraba las conexiones de la iglesia católica con tradiciones mucho más antiguas como esa hierogamia del Cristo de Mena que nos recuerda a la Inauguración Presidencial con obelisco y vesica piscis del Capitolio norteamericano. También les comente la enorme casualidad que el caso de Daniel Sancho “reviva” justamente tras el eclipse del 8 de abril que para mas casualidad pasara por 7 ciudades llamadas Ninive, el nombre de una antigua ciudad babilónica. En todas las culturas se siguen realizando rituales a estas divinidades del cielo que no son otra cosa que llamativos fenómenos atmosféricos como el eclipse que tuvo lugar este lunes 8 de abril o las danzas erráticas de los planetas. Hoy vamos a hablar de ese manejo del tiempo y sus posibles mecanismos que a la larga les permite a los psicopatas que nos mal gobiernan mantenernos en esta jaula con barrotes de oro. Decía el puntal de Dios: “Los esclavos debemos sentir el aroma de la libertad como si fuera de un uso exótico, «que esté ahí», que creamos poseerla. Tenemos la sensación de sentirla con nosotros. Algunos incluso se atreven a arengar que nos pertenece «por derecho divino» (es ironía, no se espanten). Pero no. La imaginamos cercana y tangible, casi dentro de nosotros, pero tan sólo es una fragancia que nos dejan percibir de manera provisional, llena de elementos que son volátiles. Desaparece todos los días para que volvamos a sentir su perfume al día próximo, al rato después, o a la mañana de la siguiente jornada. Y esa es justo la sensación con la que nos mantienen los señores que mueven nuestros hilos, los llamaremos «titiriteros«. Creer que lo eres, «libre«. Decía el escritor, y anterior esclavo afro-americano, Frederick Douglass, que para mantener contento al esclavo era necesario que no pensara. Que debían de oscurecer su visión moral y mental. Aniquilar su poder de razonar. Los amos de los «animalitos» procuran saber y controlar todo lo que oyen, ven y piensan sus criaturas. En nuestros tiempos esto les resulta muy fácil, nosotros mismos facilitamos esa información, algunos incluso con gusto. El patético «yo no tengo nada que esconder». “ ………………………………………………………………………………………. ¿Alguien me explica por qué en el episodio 5 de la 2a temporada del Ministerio del Tiempo (2016) que trata sobre la gripe Española la puerta por la que llega el virus es la ¡2020!? ¿Casualidad o causalidad? La epidemia empieza en el Ministerio el 25 de febrero del 2016. Y la del covid empezó también oficialmente en España el 25 de febrero del 2020. ¿Casualidad o causalidad? Grabado en 2015, emitido en 2016, serie el Ministerio del Tiempo 2a temporada 5 episodio, gripe Española y ¿cuál es el único número de puerta qué aparece en todo el episodio? ¡Bingo! La 2020. ………………………………………………………………………………………. En marzo de 2020 antes incluso de que todos se volvieran locos con el COVID nosotros realizamos un podcast titulado “UTP86 Coronavirus, Akituatraco a las 8” donde les contábamos como ese ritual de salir al balcón a las 8 no fue para nada casual. Alli les contábamos como de esa manera estabamos celebrando la fiesta de la primavera que muchos pueblos siguen celebrando con pequeñas variaciones pero sin apartarse mucho de la creación original que es el llamado festival babilónico de Akitu o Akitum. Este festival babilónico tradicionalmente comenzaba el 4 de Nisannu, fíjense que el primer mes del calendario judio es el mes llamado Nisán. En dicho mes se celebra la Pésaj (en hebreo es Pascua. Y Pascua significa básicamente "paso" o “salto". Es una festividad judía que conmemora la liberación del pueblo hebreo de la esclavitud de Egipto. Este año la Pésaj o pascua judía comenzará al atardecer del 22 de abril del 2024 y culminará al anochecer del 30 de abril del 2024. Curiosamente el festival de la primavera babilonico se llamaba Akitu o traduciéndolo al castellano como el corte de cebada…como ven la cebada es muy importante…por cierto, la cerveza siempre fue un invento hebreo por si no lo sabían. “Para el almacenaje de alcohol durante la Edad Media no era utilizada una estrella roja, sino que los cerveceros bajomedievales centro y noreuropeos usaban la estrella de David. Si se busca información e imágenes sobre "Bierstern" (beer star) o "Brauerstern" (brewer's star), pronto aparece la verdadera forma de dicha estrella. La utilización del Magen David -el escudo de David, el hexagrama- como símbolo de pureza, proviene del volumen fundacional de la tradición cabalística, el Zohar, posiblemente escrito en algún punto del siglo XIII por un judío de Guadalajara, Moisés de León. El barrio judío de Praga ya utilizaba la estrella de David como emblema desde al menos el 1500 d.C., pero se han encontrado barriles de cerveza e ilustraciones de los mismos anteriores a esa fecha que llevan la marca.” Wayne B. Chandler nos dice: “Fue el anciano Egipto donde la estrella de seis picos residió en su completo esplendor. Proclamada como la Estrella de la Creación por los egipcios, esta representaba la unión entre el macho y la hembra energía en naturaleza y en todos los planos de la existencia; pero es también proclamada [en Egipto] como el símbolo la Ley Hermética de la Correspondencia. El triangulo apuntando hacia arriba indica el macrocosmos y el triangulo apuntado hacia abajo indica el microcosmos; dos formas idénticas enclavadas pero independientes, cada parte representando un todo” La estrella de 6 puntas mucho antes de ser conocida como estrella del rey David era llamada la estrella de los magos y como hemos podido comprobar los judíos se llevaron este conocimiento tras su paso por Egipto. No se crean que se colgaba una estrella de 6 puntas por colgar encima de un barril para que fermentase, esto entronca con dioses como Baco o Dioniso y evidentemente estaríamos hablando de posesiones por entidades…lo que la ciencia en la actualidad simplemente cataloga de daños etílicos en el cerebelo. Pero no es del gusto etílico de lo que quiero hablarles si no de como durante el encierro del Covid practicamos obedientemente y sin saberlo ese festival babilónico del Akitu o Akitum. Ese año de cambios trascendentales, el 2020, en la gran mutación, en la toma del poder por supuestamente otra facción el celebrar este ritual que como les dije antes significa paso o salto. Y es que verdaderamente vamos a pasar de la sociedad 3.0 a la 4.0. Del capitalismo tradicional al nuevo capitalismo donde solo unos pocos serán verdaderamente productivos y el resto se mantendrán solo como meros consumidores resignados a comer las migajas que le sobre al resto. Como dice nuestro amigo Peter House: “En el calendario hebreo el 14 de Nisán comienza en la noche de luna llena después del equinoccio vernal que en el actual 2020 empezará en la tarde del 8 abril (la tercera superluna) y acabará en la tarde del jueves 16 de abril. Es una festividad judía que conmemora la liberación del pueblo hebreo de la esclavitud de Egipto y que también recibe el nombre de ‘Fiesta de la Primavera’, ya que marca el inicio de dicha estación. Las regulaciones bíblicas relativas a la primera vez que la festividad fuera observada, es decir en el momento del Éxodo de Egipto, incluyen instrucciones sobre cómo la comida deberá consumirse: "ceñidos vuestros lomos, vuestro calzado en vuestros pies, y vuestro bastón en vuestra mano; y lo comeréis apresuradamente. Es la Pascua del señor” (Exodo 12:11).” Esto suena un poco a los cordones que ciñen las túnicas de los cofrades de Semana Santa y recordemos que el color de la Pascua, el color liturgico es el morado. Y el morado es la unión del color rojo, hombre y del color azul o mujer. Estamos ante un hexagrama. “En alquimia, los dos triángulos representan la reconciliación de los opuestos de fuego y agua. La Kabbalah no judía (también llamada Kabbalah cristiana o hermética) interpreta que el hexagrama significa la unión divina de la energía masculina y femenina, donde el macho está representado por el triángulo superior (denominado la "cuchilla") y la hembra por la inferior uno (referido como el "cáliz"). “ ¿Y por qué nos hicieron salir a aplaudir a las 8 y no a otra hora? El 8 es muy importante para la adoración de Ishtar la diosa babilónica del amor y la belleza, de la vida, de la fertilidad o sea de la primavera. Se la asocia al planeta Venus, estrella de la mañana y del anochecer. Su símbolo es una estrella de ocho puntas. En su honor, los astrónomos han llamado Ishtar Terra a un continente de Venus. Ištar no es una diosa del matrimonio, ni es una diosa madre. El matrimonio sagrado o la sacra hierogamia, que se representaba todos los años en el templo babilónico, no tiene un implicación moral ni es modelo de matrimonios terrestres, es un rito de fertilidad altamente estilizado con tonos litúrgicos. …………………………………………… ¿Se acuerdan que este ultimo eclipse pasó por siete ciudades llamadas Ninive en Estados Unidos? Nínive fue la capital y ciudad más grande del Imperio neoasirio, llegó a ser la más grande del mundo durante aproximadamente cincuenta años hasta el año 612 a. C. Allí se celebraba el Akitu babilónico, uno de los primeros rituales del tiempo conocidos. El festival babilónico tradicionalmente comenzó el 4 de Nisannu. Todas las personas en la ciudad la celebrarían, incluyendo el awilu (clase alta), muskena (clase media), wardu (clase baja), el sumo sacerdote y el rey. Primero al tercer día El sacerdote de Ésagila(La casa de Marduk) recitaba oraciones tristes con los otros sacerdotes y la gente respondía con oraciones igualmente tristes que expresaban el temor de la humanidad a lo desconocido. Este miedo a lo desconocido explica por qué el sumo sacerdote se dirigía a la Ésagila todos los días pidiendo el perdón de Marduk, rogándole que protegiera a Babilonia, su ciudad santa, y pidiéndole que le favoreciera. Esta oración se llamó "El secreto de Ésagila". Dice lo siguiente: "Señor sin igual en tu ira, Señor, rey misericordioso, señor de las tierras, que hizo la salvación de los grandes dioses, Señor, que derribó a los fuertes con su mirada, Señor de reyes, luz de los hombres, que repartes destinos, oh Señor, Babilonia es tu asiento, Borsippa tu corona Los anchos cielos son tu cuerpo ... Dentro de tus brazos tomas a los fuertes ... Con tu mirada les concedes gracia, haz que vean la luz para que proclamen tu poder. Señor de las tierras, luz de los Igigi, que anuncia las bendiciones; ¿Quién no proclamaría tu, sí, tu poder? ¿No hablarías de tu majestad, alabarás tu dominio? Señor de las tierras, que vive en Eudul, que toma a los caídos de la mano; Ten piedad de tu ciudad, Babilonia. Vuelve tu rostro hacia Esagila, tu templo. ¡Da libertad a los que habitan en Babilonia, tus barrios! Al tercer día, artesanos especiales crearían dos títeres hechos de madera, oro y piedras preciosas y los vestirían de rojo. Estas marionetas se dejaron de lado y se utilizarían en el sexto día. Cuarto día Se seguirían los mismos rituales que en los tres días anteriores. Antes del amanecer, los sacerdotes buscaron el grupo sagrado de estrellas IKU ( "Campo" ). Durante el día se recitaría la Epopeya de la Creación, Enuma Elish . El Enuma Elish es probablemente la historia más antigua sobre el nacimiento de los dioses y la creación del universo y los seres humanos. Luego explica cómo todos los dioses se unieron en el dios Marduk, después de su victoria sobre Tiamat. La recitación de esta epopeya se consideró el comienzo de los preparativos para la sumisión del Rey de Babilonia ante Marduk en el quinto día de Akitu. Durante la noche se realizó un drama que elogió a Marduk también. Quinto día La sumisión del rey de Babilonia ante Marduk. El rey entraría a la Esagila acompañado por los sacerdotes, se acercarían todos juntos al altar donde el sumo sacerdote de la Esagila se hace pasar por Marduk, luego se acerca al rey, comienza a despojarlo de sus joyas, cetro e incluso su corona y luego abofetea fuerte mientras se arrodilla en el altar y comienza a orar pidiendo el perdón de Marduk y se somete a él diciendo: "No he pecado, oh Señor del universo, y no he descuidado tu poder celestial en absoluto" ... Entonces el sacerdote en el papel de Marduk dice: "No tengas miedo de lo que Marduk tiene que decir, porque él escuchará tus oraciones, extenderá tu poder y aumentará la grandeza de tu reinado". La eliminación de todas las posesiones mundanas es un símbolo de la sumisión que el rey le da a Marduk. Después de esto, el rey se levantaría y el sacerdote le devolvería sus joyas, su cetro y su corona y luego lo abofetearía con la esperanza de que el rey derramara lágrimas, porque eso expresaría más la sumisión a Marduk y el respeto a su poder. Cuando el sacerdote devuelve la corona al rey, eso significa que Marduk renovó su poder, por lo que abril se consideraría no solo el renacimiento de la naturaleza y la vida, sino también del Estado. Por lo tanto, estas ceremonias harían que las personalidades más grandes y temidas de la época se sometieran al dios más grande y vivieran un momento de humildad con toda la población, compartiendo oraciones para demostrar su fe ante el poder de Dios. Tras su presencia en su hogar terrenal, Babilonia, y renovando el poder de su rey, el dios Marduk se queda en el Etemenanki (un zigurat o torre compuesta de siete pisos, conocida en elTorá como la Torre de Babilonia) donde estaba la vivienda de Marduk o en el templo de Esagila (en la Torá Dios moraría en una "montaña" Salmos 74: 2). Durante este día, según la tradición de Akitu, Marduk entraría en su vivienda y se sorprendería de los dioses malvados que lucharían contra él, luego Tiamat, el monstruo del caos y la diosa del océano, lo tomará prisionero y esperará la llegada de su hijo. Dios Nabu quien lo salvaría de "Nada" y le devolvería la gloria. Aqui debemos acordarnos que todo el melón del rey emérito se abrió para esas fechas, apareciendo las fundaciones Zagatka y Lucum bajo sospecha en Suiza relacionadas con el Rey emérito. Sexto día Antes de que llegaran los dioses, el día estaría lleno de conmoción. Las marionetas que se hicieron el tercer día se quemarían y también se realizarían simulacros de batalla. Esta conmoción significaba que sin Marduk, la ciudad estaría en constante caos. La llegada de Dios Nabu en botes acompañados por sus asistentes de valientes dioses que vienen de Nippur , Uruk , Kishy Eridu (ciudades de la antigua Babilonia). Los dioses que acompañaban a Nabu estarían representados por estatuas que se montarían en botes hechos especialmente para la ocasión. Aquí, la gran cantidad de personas comenzaría a caminar detrás de su rey hacia la Esagila, donde Marduk es prisionero, cantando lo siguiente: "Aquí está el que viene de lejos para restaurar la gloria de nuestro padre encarcelado". Séptimo día Al tercer día de su encarcelamiento, Nabu libera a Marduk. Los dioses malvados habían cerrado una gran puerta detrás de él cuando entró en su vivienda. Marduk estaría peleando hasta la llegada de Nabu, cuando irrumpiría en la gran puerta y una batalla continuaría entre los dos grupos, hasta que Nabu salga victorioso y libere a Marduk. Octavo día Cuando Marduk es liberado, las estatuas de los dioses se reúnen en el Salón de los Destinos "Ubshu-Ukkina", para deliberar sobre su destino, allí se decide unir todas las fuerzas de los dioses y otorgarlas a Marduk. Aquí, el rey implora a todos los dioses que apoyen y honren a Marduk, y esta tradición era una indicación de que Marduk recibió la sumisión de todos los dioses y era único en su posición. Noveno día La procesión de la victoria a la "Casa de Akitu", donde se celebra la victoria de Marduk al comienzo de la Creación sobre el dragón Tiamat (diosa de las aguas inferiores). La Casa de Akitu, que los asirios de Nínive llamaron "Bet Ekribi" ("Casa de Oraciones" en idioma asirio antiguo), estaba a unos 200 metros de las murallas de la ciudad, donde había árboles maravillosos decorados y regados cuidadosamente por respeto al dios quien ha considerado el que le otorga vida a la naturaleza. La procesión de la victoria fue la forma en que la población expresó su alegría por la renovación del poder de Marduk (Ashur) y la destrucción de las fuerzas del mal que casi controlaban la vida al principio. Décimo día Al llegar a "Bet Akitu", el dios Marduk comienza a celebrar con los dioses del mundo superior e inferior (las estatuas de los dioses estaban dispuestas alrededor de una mesa enorme, como en una fiesta), luego Marduk regresa a la ciudad por la noche para celebrar su matrimonio con la diosa "Ishtar", donde la tierra y el cielo están unidos, y como los dioses se unen, así se organiza esta unión en la tierra. Así, el rey personifica esta unión jugando el papel de casarse con la más alta sacerdotisa de la Esagila donde ambos se sentarían en el trono ante la población y recitarían poemas especiales para la ocasión. Este amor dará vida en primavera. Undécimo día Los dioses regresan acompañados por su Lord Marduk para encontrarse nuevamente en el Salón de los Destinos "Upshu Ukkina", donde se encontraron por primera vez el octavo día, esta vez decidirán el destino de la gente de Marduk. En la antigua filosofía asiria, la creación en general se consideraba como un pacto entre el cielo y la tierra siempre que un humano sirviera a los dioses hasta su muerte, por lo tanto, la felicidad de los dioses no está completa, excepto si los humanos también son felices, por lo tanto, el destino de un humano ser dado felicidad con la condición de que sirva a los dioses. Entonces Marduk y los dioses renuevan su alianza con Babilonia, prometiéndole a la ciudad otro ciclo de estaciones. Después de que se decide el destino de la humanidad, Marduk regresa a los cielos. Duodécimo día El último día de Akitu. Los dioses regresan al templo de Marduk (las estatuas se devuelven al templo) y la vida diaria se reanuda en Babilonia, Nínive y el resto de las ciudades asirias. La gente comienza a arar y prepararse para otro ciclo de estaciones. ………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Voy a utilizar algunos tuits miss y de el puntal de Dios comentando las jugadas que hacen los políticos en España para que vean como se las gastan con el tema del control del tiempo. Desde aquel "atropellamiento masivo de las Ramblas" ejecutado por el recurrente yihadismo donde se aceleraron los acontecimientos en el "procés" catalán. A los 9 meses justos y a las 11 y 33 horas se ritualizó el nombramiento del 131 president. Justo el 17/5/18 se cumplían los 9 meses del atentado de las Ramblas de Barcelona del 17/8/17. Como si de un embarazo se tratara se "transmutó" un 'rey cobarde' en TORRA a las 11:33 horas. Ritual para el 131 president de la Generalitat en la sala de la VIRGEN NEGRA. El 132 president, Pere Aragonés, fue investido 1100 días (1++1+0+0=11) después de la toma de posesión del 131. ¿parece un engranaje numérico, no creen? Tan sólo 15 días después, como si de una Luna Nueva se pasase a su fase plena, Pedro, el Indestructible, tomaba el cielo del Gobierno de España por asalto (casualidades de la vida) a las 11 y 33 horas del 1 de Junio del 2018. ¿Y Pedro, el Indestructible, utilizará la numerología para "hacer magia" en unas elecciones que tenía perdidas a ojos del profano? En el 5º aniversario de su "asalto al Congreso", con la connivencia de Mariano Rajoy, convoca elecciones generales a 55 días vista. Conforme al punto 177.4 del reglamento del Congreso de los Diputados hubo que iniciar la votación si o si a las 11 de la mañana. Bueno a las 11 y 1 minuto que es más resultón. ¿Se acuerdan de la turra que dieron con aplicar el articulo 155 de la Constitución? ¿Y en qué puesto voto el Sr Rajoy? Pues en el ¡¡¡155!!! ¿Cuál si no? ¿Hay una especie de hermandad que tiene una especial fijación con un juramento en las "sagradas escrituras" que mencionen ese 133? Hace unos años señalamos esa pista y todos esos caminos conducen a esos templos fraternales discretos. Leo textualmente lo que los propios masones dicen sobre el salmo 133 de la Biblia: “Uno de los temas más llamativos para quien ingresa a una logia masónica por primera vez, es sin duda la lectura del salmo 133 antes del inicio de los trabajos masónicos. Pero ¿es así en todos los rituales del mundo? ¿existen otros pasajes bíblicos que se lean en el primer grado? ¿qué significa el salmo 133 en la masonería? Un dato interesante que vale la pena señalar respecto del salmo 133 es que forma parte del último libro de salmos. Además, en la tradición judía, es uno de los 73 salmos a los que se les atribuye como autor al Rey David, padre de Salomón, rey edificador del primer templo. Dentro de la tradición masónica, el salmo 133 ha sido identificado como el salmo que más se acerca a los ideales de la institución.” ¿Por qué el "brujo" Puigdemont lanza un órdago de todo o nada a 33 días de las elecciones? El 12 de Mayo en año bisiesto es el día 133 en curso. Él mismo fue el 130 president y aspira a ser el 133¿Será un patrón "numerológico" qué enlace con otros sucesos ceremoniales anteriores? ………………………………………………………………………………………. simbologia, un texto de PeterHouse Pro Cuando escribí sobre la relación entre la cuaresma, la pascua judía y el Akitu no pensé que se hablaría del tema y por no alargar mucho el escrito no profundicé mucho en el paralelismo de lo que vivimos hoy en España y los rituales mesopotámicos. El conocimiento de estos rituales ha sido transmitido entre la élite y son la base de la ingeniería social que sufrimos hoy. Cada cultura o civilización que los ha ido adoptando le ha introducido o eliminado elementos a conveniencia y así sucesivamente hasta nuestros días. La parte superficial de estos rituales mágicos ha cambiado pero no la esencia y su utilidad. En la naturaleza existen ciclos, así como a la psique humana le cuesta identificar patrones exponenciales y evidentemente recrearlos con el pensamiento también le cuesta identificar esos ciclos naturales. Hoy en día todo el mundo conoce el ciclo anual que llamamos estaciones del año, pero no siempre fue así, hubo un tiempo, cuando este y otros ciclos empezaban a ser identificados por las mentes más inquietas en que el conocimiento en torno a estos cálculos estaba velado para el común de los mortales. Al tiempo que la élite ha profundizado en el conocimiento de todo tipo de ciclos los ha sabido identificar en la naturaleza cada vez más y día a día ha ido sacando provecho de su control. Esto se puede observar en todo tipo de campos, desde algo tan físico y cuantificable como la mecánica de movimiento armónico hasta algo tan ancestral como la agricultura. Así como el ingeniero sabe cómo aprovechar el movimiento armónico para emplear la menor energía posible (el péndulo es símbolo de esto), el agricultor sabe cómo sacar el máximo provecho de su cosecha y estos conocimientos son el cúmulo de miles de años de conocimiento transmitido de generación en generación. Estos conocimientos son guardados celosamente durante mucho tiempo y conforme la élite es capaz de alcanzar niveles nuevos de sabiduría el pueblo llano va teniendo, poco a poco, acceso a los conocimientos ya obsoletos para el Poder, como si de algo novedoso se tratara. Esto le sirve para tener una sociedad lo suficientemente productiva pero lo suficientemente limitada. Esto, que es fácil de identificar en la agricultura se puede aplicar a absolutamente a todo lo que tiene que ver con el conocimiento, cualquier rama de cualquier ciencia. El Poder aplica a la gran la masa de seres humanos que controla el mismo tratamiento que da a las diferentes masas que ha aprendido a gestionar, por ejemplo la economía. Es decir, a la tierra, a la gente y al dinero se los somete a ciclos que los hacen producir más y mejor, podando o poniendo en barbecho según dicte el conocimiento de los ciclos naturales. La expresión ‘año sabático’, en hebreo ‘Shmitá’ proviene del séptimo año del ciclo agrícola de siete años ordenado por la Torá para la Tierra de Israel, observado aún en el judaísmo actual. Durante la shmitá la ley judía prohíbe toda actividad agrícola, incluyendo arar, plantar, podar y cosechar. Una variedad de leyes también se aplican a la venta, consumo y disposición de productos y todas las deudas, excepto las de los extranjeros, que debían ser remitidas. El Capítulo 25 del Libro de Levítico promete abundantes cosechas a quienes observan la shmitá, esto es algo que se aprecia en cómo la élite maneja la economía; el 29 de septiembre de 2008 el índice Dow Jones Industrial caía 777,7 (77,68) puntos, un 7%, la mayor de su historia en puntos, la segunda mayor caída anterior fue el 1 de septiembre de 2001, un 7,13%; ambas caídas ocurrieron un 29 de Elul, fecha que marca el fin del Shmita y día en que en el judaísmo se hace una ceremonia de “substitución” para celebrar el fin de las deudas durante el Rosh Hashaná. Es una perfecta ingeniería social porque, como el barbecho debe hacerse para darle a la tierra un ciclo sostenible, introducir la shmitá en una sociedad agrícola genera una sociedad de excedentes, se promueve el ahorro y la banca y se evita el sobre-endeudamiento, el año de descanso agrícola le da al país cierto paro pero incrementa el comercio internacional, la población flotante de pobres se mantiene y la élite de esa sociedad probablemente terminará convirtiéndose en acreedora internacional. De hecho, solamente ha tenido que hacer cumplir las escrituras: Deuteronomio 15:1-6 “Al cabo de cada siete años harás remisión de deudas. Así se hará la remisión: todo acreedor hará remisión de lo que haya prestado a su prójimo; no lo exigirá de su prójimo ni de su hermano, porque se ha proclamado la remisión del Señor. De un extranjero lo puedes exigir, pero tu mano perdonará cualquier cosa tuya que tu hermano tenga. Sin embargo, no habrá menesteroso entre ustedes, ya que el Señor de cierto te bendecirá en la tierra que el Señor tu Dios te da por heredad para poseerla, si solo escuchas fielmente la voz del Señor tu Dios, para guardar cuidadosamente todo este mandamiento que te ordeno hoy. Pues el Señor tu Dios te bendecirá como te ha prometido, y tú prestarás a muchas naciones, pero tú no tomarás prestado; y tendrás dominio sobre muchas naciones, pero ellas no tendrán dominio sobre ti.” Hoy en día, tras la destrucción de las entre comillas “columnas gemelas” y la construcción del One World Trade Center, el concepto de Israel se ha expandido a todo el mundo globalizado y se le aplica a la sociedad mundial esta misma magia, la maldición del 9 de Av que hemos conocido de manos de Aingeru García es una de estas podas que se le hace a la masa de gente como control eugenésico. No hay que esperar el nacimiento de ninguna vaca roja ni la construcción de un tercer templo, ése templo es el planeta entero y ahora que la comunidad es global esa magia se aplica de muchas formas pero son identificables porque la élite, por un motivo u otro (algo que deberá abordarse) está sujeta a los ritos y estos, al estar relacionados con los astros y por lo tanto con los números, pueden ser descubiertos. «El tiempo saca a la luz todo lo que está oculto y encubre y esconde lo que ahora brilla con el más grande esplendor.» Horacio. Siglo I antes de Cristo. El mal vende. Y vende bien. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: …. Dra Yane #JusticiaParaUTP @ayec98_2 Médico y Buscadora de la verdad. Con Dios siempre!

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Art Rothschild Kendall Bauer (with Jason Scuglik, Joel Dresang) Week in Review (March 18-22, 2024) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major announcements Tuesday The pace of housing starts rose 11% in February, and it was up 6% from the year before, the Commerce Department and Department of Housing and Urban Development reported. Permits for new housing also increased at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, especially for single-family residences. Amid longstanding low inventories of housing units, the rate at which new houses are being completed is finally reaching levels not seen since before the Great Recession. Also, housing under construction has been hovering at record paces, according to data going back to 1970. Wednesday No major announcements Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims rose for the second week in a row but stayed 42% below the 57-year average, according to new data from the Labor Department. The moving average, an indicator of employers' reluctance to let workers go, continued to suggest strength in the labor market. Total claims rose 0.2% from the week before to 1.8 million, which was up 8% from the same time in 2023. The annual rate of existing home sales rose 9.5% to nearly 4.4 million in February, which was still 3% slower than the year before. The National Association of Realtors said demand for housing continued to be strong while inventory improved nearly 6% from January. Still, supply remained historically record low, with 2.9 months' worth of houses available at February's sales rate. The median sales price was $384,500, up almost 6% from the year before, the eight increase in a row. The Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators rose 0.1% in February, its first gain in two years, led by increases in factory hours, stock prices and residential construction. The business research group said its index declined 2.6% since August, an improvement from a 3.8% decline in the previous six months. The group also warned that higher interest rates and rising consumer debt posed threats to continued personal spending, which drives about two-thirds of U.S. economic growth. Friday No major announcements MARKET CLOSINGS FOR THE WEEK Nasdaq – 16429, up 456 points or 2.9% Standard & Poor's 500 – 5234, up 117 points or 2.3% Dow Jones Industrial – 39475, up 761 points or 2.0% 10-year U.S. Treasury Note – 4.22%, down 0.09 point Not a Landaas & Company client yet?

Landaas & Company newsletter March edition now available. Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Dave Sandstrom Kendall Bauer (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (March 11-15, 2024) SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC INDICATORS & REPORTS Monday No major announcements Tuesday The broadest measure of inflation nudged up narrowly in February, reinforcing sentiment that it's too soon for the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the Consumer Price Index rose 3.2% from February 2023, unadjusted for inflation. That was up from 3.1% in January but down from a four-decade high of 9.1% in 2022. Higher prices for gasoline and shelter accounted for 60% of the CPI's one-month gain of 0.4%, which was the highest since September. The core CPI, excluding volatile food and energy costs, was up 3.8% from the year before, the smallest 12-month rise in almost three years. Wednesday No major announcements Thursday Wholesale inflation ticked up in February, led by higher energy prices. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said its Producer Price Index rose 0.6% from January, the largest advance since August. Excluding volatile prices for food, energy and trade services, the core PPI rose 0.4%, down from a 0.6% increase in January. Year to year, the headline PPI rose 1.6% in February, the highest rate in five months. The Commerce Department said retail sales gained 0.6% in February, only the second gain in five months, but another sign that consumers are keeping the economy growing. Car dealers, gas stations, home-and-garden centers and appliance stores led the list of retailers reviving sales from a 1.1% decline in January. The sales represent most of the consumer spending that accounts for about two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. Adjusted for inflation, retail sales advanced in February for the first time in five months. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the fourth week in a row, dipping 43% below the 57-year average. Data from the Labor Department continued to suggest a tight job market in which employers are reluctant to let workers go. Some 2.1 million individuals were receiving jobless benefits in the latest week, up 1% from the week before and up 7.2% from the year before. Friday U.S. industrial production rose 0.1% in February after weather-related declines January. The gain was the first in three months, according to the Federal Reserve. Compared to the year before, output was down 0.2%. Manufacturing production advanced 0.8% from January and was down 0.7% from February 2023. Capacity utilization, considered a leading indicator of inflation, remained at 78.3% in February, below the long-term average for the 10th month in a row. The University of Michigan said consumer sentiment essentially was on hold pending the November election. The preliminary measure of expectations in March was little changed from February, putting it midway between historic lows during the inflation peaks of 2022 and the level of sentiment just before the COVID-19 pandemic. Economists rely on sentiment as an indicator of consumers' appetite for spending.

The business research group said its index of leading economic indicators declined by 0.4% in January, double the dip in December. But the latest six-month read of the index fell 3%, compared to a decline of 4.1% in the prior six months. Also – for the first time in two years – more than half of the index's components were positive for the six-month period. Wednesday No major releases Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment insurance claims declined for the first time in four weeks, remaining 41% below the 57-year average, according to new Labor Department data. Nearly 2.2 million Americans claimed jobless benefits in the latest week, up 0.5% from the week before and up 9.6% from the same time in 2023. The National Association of Realtors heralded a rise in existing home sales in January as the beginning of a comeback for housing. The annual rate of unit sales rose 3.1% from the pace in December with a 2% increase in inventory and the seventh consecutive year-to-year gain in prices. Home sales ended 2023 at the lowest level in about three decades, but mortgage rates have declined since peaking in October. The supply of houses for sale remained below their level in January 2023. The median sale price was the highest ever for January: $379,100.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/13/2024): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, former Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski testified in a closed-door hearing before the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees. In his opening statement, which has been made public, Bobulinski explains: “from my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently come to learn, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was "the Brand" being sold by the Biden family. His family's foreign influence peddling operation—from China to Ukraine and elsewhere—sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government. Joe Biden was more than a participant in and beneficiary of his family's business; he was an enabler, despite being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability. The only reason any of these international business transactions took place—with tens of millions of dollars flowing directly to the Biden family—was because Joe Biden was in high office.” 3:20pm- Karoun Demirjian of The New York Times writes: “The Senate passed a long-awaited foreign aid package for Ukraine and Israel early Tuesday morning, delivering a bipartisan endorsement of the legislation after months of negotiations, dire battlefield warnings and political mudslinging. But the measure faced a buzz saw of opposition in the House, where Republican resistance threatened to kill it. The 70-to-29 vote reflected a critical mass of support in Congress for the $95 billion emergency aid legislation and for continuing to arm Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. The measure would provide an additional $60.1 billion for Kyiv—which would bring the total U.S. investment in the war effort to more than $170 billion—as well as $14.1 billion for Israel's war against Hamas and almost $10 billion for humanitarian aid for civilians in conflict zones, including Palestinians in Gaza.” But will Speaker of the House Mike Johnson hold a vote on the bill in the Republican-controlled House? Demirkian explains: “Mr. Johnson controls the floor and right-wing lawmakers have shown a willingness to block legislation they oppose from even coming up for a vote. Still, if proponents can muster enough support from Democrats and mainstream and national security-minded Republicans willing to buck [Donald] Trump and the far right, they could steer around the opposition through a maneuver known as a discharge petition. That allows lawmakers to force legislation to the floor if they can gather the signatures of a majority of the House—218 members—calling for the action.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/12/us/politics/senate-ukraine-aid.html 3:35pm- During a speech delivered from the White House, President Joe Biden called on the House of Representatives to pass a bill that would provide $95 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel, and provide humanitarian assistance to Palestinians. The Senate passed the bill 70 to 29 on Tuesday morning. Biden accused Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of having “bowed down” to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and claimed Trump wanted to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). 3:40pm- During a campaign rally in Conway, South Carolina, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called on all NATO members to pay 2% of their annual gross domestic product in joint defense. Currently, 20 of the 31 alliance members meet the threshold they've pledged to contribute. Trump said: “one of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘well sir, if we don't pay and we are attacked by Russia will you protect us?' I said, ‘you didn't pay? You're delinquent?...no, I would not protect you.'” In response, Democrats have claimed that Trump is a threat to European allies, claiming if elected he will have the United States leave NATO. However, as Annie Linskey, Aaron Zitner, and Alex Leary of The Wall Street Journal note, “last year, Congress included an amendment offered by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-VA), and Marco Rubio (R-FL), in the annual defense-policy bill that requires the advice and consent of the Senate or an act of Congress before any president could ‘suspend, terminate, or withdraw' U.S. membership in NATO. The language sets a high threshold—two-thirds of all senators—to approve a withdrawal and bars any funding from being used to support such a move by any government official. It became law when Biden signed the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act in late December.” You can read the Wall Street Journal article here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/nato-leader-blasts-trumps-suggestion-he-would-encourage-russian-invasion-of-u-s-allies-3eb96a10?mod=hp_lead_pos9 3:50pm- CBS News correspondent Catherine Herridge has been laid off—one of approximately 800 employees at Paramount who were let go on Tuesday. Alexandra Steigrad of The New York Post wrote: “Insiders said Herridge had clashed with CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews—a sharp-elbowed executive who was investigated in 2021 over favoritism and discriminatory hiring and management practices.” You can read more here: https://nypost.com/2024/02/13/media/bloodbath-at-cbs-news-includes-reporter-fighting-first-amendment-case/ 4:05pm- On Tuesday, former Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski testified in a closed-door hearing before the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees. In his opening statement, which has been made public, Bobulinski explains: “from my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently come to learn, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was "the Brand" being sold by the Biden family.

The only reason any of these international business transactions took place—with tens of millions of dollars flowing directly to the Biden family—was because Joe Biden was in high office.” 4:10pm- Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) referred to his colleague Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) as a “prick” for delaying a vote on a controversial foreign aid bill. 4:15pm- Health officials have identified a case of the bubonic plague in a person residing in Oregon. An investigation concluded the individual was likely infected by a house cat. Meanwhile, evolutionary biologists at Princeton University have found that wolves in Chernobyl—the location of a catastrophic nuclear meltdown in 1986—may have developed a resistance to cancer. So, do mutant Chernobyl wolves make for better pets than house cats? The evidence seems clear. 4:30pm- Dr. EJ Antoni—Economist & Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown January's inflation report which reveals consumer prices rose 3.1% year-to-year, higher than the 2.9% that economists had forecasted. As a consequence of this month's inflation report, the Dow Jones Industrial average fell 524.63 points—the Dow's worst day since March of last year. 4:50pm- On Tuesday, the New York special election to fill former U.S. Representative George Santos' vacant Congressional seat. Last year, Santos became the sixth congressman in U.S. history to be expelled from the House of Representatives. The House voted 311 to 114 in favor of removing him following numerous allegations of lying about his background and a 23-count indictment that includes allegations he “repeatedly, without authorization” charged donor credit cards—depositing funds into his own bank account. Though, he has not yet been found guilty of any crimes. Republicans currently hold a majority in the House—219 to 212 with 4 vacancies. 5:05pm- On Tuesday, former Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski testified in a closed-door hearing before the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees. In his opening statement, which has been made public, Bobulinski explains: “from my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently come to learn, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was "the Brand" being sold by the Biden family. His family's foreign influence peddling operation—from China to Ukraine and elsewhere—sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government.

The only reason any of these international business transactions took place—with tens of millions of dollars flowing directly to the Biden family—was because Joe Biden was in high office.” 5:20pm- While speaking with the press, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer claimed it was “right-wing propaganda” to say President Joe Biden's memory is deteriorating. However, last week, Special Counsel Robert Hur recommended that the Department of Justice not prosecute President Biden for mishandling classified documents because of the president's poor recollection and fading memory. 5:25pm- On HBO's Real Time, host Bill Maher called out numerous celebrities for threatening to leave the U.S. if Donald Trump is reelected president in 2024. Maher reminds his audience that singer Miley Cyrus, comedian George Lopez, and comedian Eddie Griffin all threatened to flee America prior to Trump's 2016 election—and yet, none of them ever left. 5:30pm- Libs of TikTok recently tweeted courtroom footage of the most bizarre lawsuit in recent memory. A transgender woman is suing his boyfriend for the return of his testicles—which had been stored in the couple's shared refrigerator. How is this story real? 5:40pm- In a 2021 video released by Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute Christopher Rufo, Disney CEO Bob Iger—who at the time was Executive Chairman of Disney—vowed to make the company more political following the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. 5:50pm- According to a new report from Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag, “the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016.” You can read more here: https://public.substack.com/p/cia-had-foreign-allies-spy-on-trump 6:05pm- Karoun Demirjian of The New York Times writes: “The Senate passed a long-awaited foreign aid package for Ukraine and Israel early Tuesday morning, delivering a bipartisan endorsement of the legislation after months of negotiations, dire battlefield warnings and political mudslinging.

But as Dominic Pino of National Review notes, there is no grand Doritos conspiracy: “Chip bags are measured by weight, not by volume. Nitrogen is essentially weightless, so putting more nitrogen in the bag does not allow chip companies to reduce the amount of chips. When companies reduce the amount of chips, they do so straightforwardly, by changing the weight listed on the bags.” You can read more here: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-president-complains-about-chip-bags/ 6:40pm- On Tuesday night, the House of Representatives is expected to hold a vote to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for willfully refusing to secure the U.S. Southern border.

His family's foreign influence peddling operation—from China to Ukraine and elsewhere—sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government. Joe Biden was more than a participant in and beneficiary of his family's business; he was an enabler, despite being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability. The only reason any of these international business transactions took place—with tens of millions of dollars flowing directly to the Biden family—was because Joe Biden was in high office.” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) referred to his colleague Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) as a “prick” for delaying a vote on a controversial foreign aid bill. Health officials have identified a case of the bubonic plague in a person residing in Oregon. An investigation concluded the individual was likely infected by a house cat. Meanwhile, evolutionary biologists at Princeton University have found that wolves in Chernobyl—the location of a catastrophic nuclear meltdown in 1986—may have developed a resistance to cancer. So, do mutant Chernobyl wolves make for better pets than house cats? The evidence seems clear. Dr. EJ Antoni—Economist & Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown January's inflation report which reveals consumer prices rose 3.1% year-to-year, higher than the 2.9% that economists had forecasted. As a consequence of this month's inflation report, the Dow Jones Industrial average fell 524.63 points—the Dow's worst day since March of last year. On Tuesday, the New York special election to fill former U.S. Representative George Santos' vacant Congressional seat. Last year, Santos became the sixth congressman in U.S. history to be expelled from the House of Representatives. The House voted 311 to 114 in favor of removing him following numerous allegations of lying about his background and a 23-count indictment that includes allegations he “repeatedly, without authorization” charged donor credit cards—depositing funds into his own bank account. Though, he has not yet been found guilty of any crimes. Republicans currently hold a majority in the House—219 to 212 with 4 vacancies.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Steve Giles Tom Pappenfus (with Max Hoelzl and Joel Dresang) Week in Review (Feb. 5-9, 2024) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday The largest segment of the U.S. economy showed continued expansion in January with the Institute for Supply Management's service index reaching its highest level since September. Based on surveys with supply managers, the index signaled growth for the 13th month in a row. Among the highlights were faster growth in new orders, employment and supplier deliveries. The trade group said supply managers reported steady business and were optimistic because of potential interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Executives also expressed caution about inflation and geopolitical conflicts. Tuesday No major releases Wednesday The U.S. trade deficit narrowed in 2023 from a record high in 2022, as the value of imports declined. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that the 2023 trade gap was $773.4 billion, down 18% from the year before. Exports grew 1.2% in the year while imports fell 3.6%. Trade deficits detract from economic output, as measured by the gross domestic product. For the year, Mexico ranked first in imports to the U.S., displacing China for the first time in 20 years. The Federal Reserve reported a slower increase in consumer credit card debt outstanding in December. So-called revolving credit debt rose at a 1% annual rate in December, the 31st gain in 32 months - and the slightest advance in that period. For the fourth quarter, credit card debt rose at a 6.8% annual rate, down from 10.1% in the third quarter. Economists look at credit card debt as a sign of consumer confidence. Consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims rose for the second week in a row, although it still reflected a historically tight hiring market. Data from the Labor Department showed the latest four-week average was 42% below the all-time average, dating back to 1967. As an early measure of layoff trends, new jobless claims have suggested employers' reluctance to let workers. Total claims rose 6% from the week before to 2.2 million, which was 14% higher than the year before.

Landaas & Company newsletter February edition now available. Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Steve Giles Kendall Bauer (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (Jan. 22-26) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday The Conference Board said its index of leading economic indicators declined slightly in December, continuing to suggest a pending recession. The business research group said its gauge fell 0.1% from November, following a 0.5% drop from October. Over the last half of 2023, the index fell 2.9%, improving from a 4.3% decline in the first six months of the year. Of 10 leading indicators, six were positive, the organization said, but they were offset by weaker manufacturing, high interest rates and low consumer confidence. The Conference Board forecast a recession for the second and third quarters of 2024, with a revival toward the end of the year. Tuesday No major releases Wednesday No major releases Thursday The Commerce Department said durable goods orders were unchanged in December, following a 5.5% gain in November. Compared to the year before, long-lasting factory orders were up 4.4%, with aircraft accounting for the bulk of the increase. Excluding transportation equipment, orders rose just 0.8% from the end of 2022. A proxy for business investment gained 0.3% from November and was up 1.7% from December 2022. The U.S. economy rose at an annual pace of 3.3% in the fourth quarter, down from 4.9% in the previous three months. The Bureau of Economic Analysis said the deceleration in gross domestic product was led by consumer spending, which slowed to a 2.8% annual rate from 3.1% in the third quarter. Also slowing: Inventories, federal spending and residential spending. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, GDP rose 3.1%, the strongest showing in seven quarters. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell to its lowest level since January. The average was 45% below the all-time average dating back to 1967. The Labor Department said 1.8 million Americans claimed jobless benefits in the latest week, up 0.8% from the week before and 11% higher than the same time in 2022. The Commerce Department reported an 8% gain in the annual rate of new home sales in December. Sales were up 4% from the year before and just below where they were heading into the COVID-19 pandemic. The median sales price dropped 14% from the year before to $413,200. In 2023, 53% of new homes were sold at $400,000 or more, compared to 63% in 2022. Friday The Bureau of Economic Analysis said consumer spending jumped 0.7% in December, more than double the 0.3% increase in personal income. Adjusted for inflation, spending rose 0.5% from November. Consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of gross domestic product, so the gain was another sign of resilience amid the highest interest rates in a couple of decades. The personal consumption expenditures index, which the Federal Reserve Board follows for inflation, rose 2.6% from December 2022, the slightest incline since February 2021, which was the last time the rate was below the Fed's 2% long-term target. The rate reached a 40-year high exceeding 7% in June 2022. An early indicator of home sales increased in December. The National Association of Realtors' index of pending home sales rose 8.3% from November and was up 1.3% from December 2022. The trade group said more home buyers have begun turning to the relatively larger stock of new homes for sale amid chronic shortages of existing houses. The group said an easing in mortgage rates since peaking in November also has encouraged potential home buyers. The Realtors forecast a 13% gain in annual home sales in 2024. MARKET CLOSINGS FOR THE WEEK Nasdaq – 15455, up 144 points or 0.9% Standard & Poor's 500 – 4891, up 51 points or 1.1% Dow Jones Industrial – 38109, up 246 points or 0.6% 10-year U.S. Treasury Note – 4.16%,

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Dave Sandstrom John Sandstrom (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (Jan. 15-19, 2024) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday Markets closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day Tuesday No major announcements Wednesday The Commerce Department said retail sales rose 0.6% in December for the eighth increase in nine months, another indication of consumers' persistent spending. The gain was widespread, with nine of 13 retail categories advancing, led by car dealers and online retailers. Gas station sales fell because of lower prices. Compared to the end of 2022, total retail sales rose nearly 6%, with 10 of 13 categories gaining, led by bars and restaurants. Adjusting for inflation, retail sales were up 2.2% since December 2022. Industrial production increased in December for the first time in three months as automakers boosted manufacturing output. The Federal Reserve Board said production from factories, mines and utilities rose 0.1% from November, advancing 1% from December 2022. Manufacturing production gained for the second month in a row and was up 1.2% from the year before. For the fourth quarter, total output fell at an annual rate of 3.1%. Factory output dropped at a 0.3% pace for the quarter, but it would have been a 2.2% decline if not for automakers. Industries' capacity utilization rate – an inflation indicator – sank for the third month in a row, staying below its 50-year average for the eighth consecutive month. Thursday The pace of U.S. housing starts slowed while building permits rose in December. The Commerce Department said the annual rate of new construction dipped 4% from November, though it was nearly 8% ahead of the year-ago pace. Meanwhile, the annual rate of permits rose 2% from November and was up 6% from December 2022. Starts for single-family houses declined nearly 9% from November, but permits for new single-family structures rose to the fastest pace since May 2022. As new construction slowed, the level of houses being built hovered near a record high, based on data going back to 1970. The pace of single-family houses under construction was down 19% from its peak in mid-2022. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell to its lowest level in 16 months, dropping 45% below the all-time average, which dates back to 1967. An indicator of employers' reluctance to let workers go, the moving average was 3% below its level just before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Labor Department data. Meanwhile, total claims for jobless benefits rose 10% from the week before to 2.1 million. That's up 12% from the year before. Friday Existing home sales slowed another 1% in December and ended 2023 under 4.1 million residences sold, the National Association of Realtors reported. That's the lowest year-end sales level since 1995. At the same time, as a result of low inventories, the median sales price hit a record high of $389,800 in 2023. The trade group said it expects sales to rebound in 2024, especially since mortgage rates have ticked down the last couple of months. The University of Michigan said its preliminary January measure of consumer sentiment showed the strongest confidence in the economy in two and a half years. The index rose 29% from November, the highest two-month increase since the end of the 1991 recession. It was 7% below the long-term average, dating back to 1978, but it was up 60% from a record low in mid-2022. The university said consumers expressed more confidence that inflation has turned a corner, and the consensus was broad, even spanning partisan political affiliations. MARKET CLOSINGS FOR THE WEEK Nasdaq – 15311, up 338 points or 2.3% Standard & Poor's 500 – 4840, up 56 points or 1.2% Dow Jones Industrial – 37864, up 397 points or 1.1% 10-year U.S.
Landaas & Company newsletter January edition now available. Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Art Rothschild (with Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (Jan. 8-12, 2024) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday In another sign of strength in consumer spending, credit card debt rose again in November, at the fastest pace in a year and a half. The Federal Reserve Board reported that revolving consumer debt outstanding increased at an annual pace of nearly 18%, the steepest pace since May 2022. Consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of U.S. economic output, as measured by the gross domestic product. Credit card debt partly reflects the confidence of consumers to keep spending. Tuesday The U.S. trade deficit narrowed by 2% in November to $63.2 billion, a result of both exports and imports shrinking. Exports declined by 1.9% from October, led by decreased sales of industrial supplies and automotive products. Imports also fell 1.9%, led by drops in U.S. purchases from abroad of cellphones and pharmaceutical preparations. Through the first 11 months of 2023, the deficit – which detracts from gross domestic product – narrowed more than 18%; exports gained 1%, and imports declined 3.6%. Wednesday No major announcements Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the fourth time in five weeks. An indicator of employers' reluctance to let workers go, the average reached 207,000 claims, which was 43% behind the average since 1967 and down from a record high of 5.3 million in April 2020. The Labor Department said 1.9 million Americans claimed jobless benefits in the week ended Dec. 30. That was up 3% from the previous week and more than 11% ahead of the same time in 2022. Shelter costs accounted for more than half of the quicker pace of inflation in December. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the Consumer Price Index, the broadest measure of inflation, rose 0.3% from November. The CPI advanced 3.4% from December 2022. That's the highest inflation rate since September but down from a 40-year high of 9.1% in June 2022. The Federal Reserve Board's long-range inflation target is 2%. Excluding volatile prices for food and energy items, the core CPI rose by 0.3% for the fourth time in five months. Year to year, the core measure was up 3.9%, the lowest rate since May 2021. Friday The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that wholesale inflation retreated 0.1% in December, the third consecutive decline. The Producer Price Index fell because of a drop in goods prices, chiefly diesel fuel. The index was up 1% from the year before, compared to a 6.4% increase at the same time in 2022 and a record 11.7% in March 2022. Excluding volatile prices for food, energy and trade services, the so-called core PPI rose 0.2% from November and was up 2.5% from December 2022.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Adam Baley (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (Jan. 1-5, 2024) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday Markets and government offices closed Tuesday U.S. construction spending rose in November for the 10th month in a row. The Commerce Department said the seasonally adjusted annual rate of construction expenditures advanced 0.4% from October to more than $2 trillion. Residential construction accounted for 44% of the spending and rose 1% from the October rate, led by an increase in single-family housing projects. Total construction spending was up 11% from November 2022, led by a 59% rise among manufacturers. Wednesday The Institute for Supply Management reported that its manufacturing index signaled contraction in December for the 14th month in a row. Based on surveys of purchasing managers, the index showed the industry slumping slightly less than in November with demand weakening more. On the brighter side, production expanded for the first time in a couple of months, and supplier deliveries improved for the 15th month in a row. The trade group said its index suggests the overall economy is contracting at a 0.5% annual rate. U.S. employers posted 8.8 million job openings in November, down marginally from October and the lowest level since early 2021. Openings reached a record high of 12 million in March 2022 and remained above the pre-pandemic level of about 7 million. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the number of hires and separations both declined in November, with the number of workers quitting their jobs reaching below the level just before the pandemic. Job openings stayed well above the number of unemployed job seekers, showing a continued gap between the demand and supply of workers. Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the third time in four weeks, its lowest level since late October, 43% below the all-time average and about where it was just before the COVID-19 pandemic. Data from the Labor Department showed more than 1.8 million Americans were claiming unemployment benefits in the latest week. That was little changed from the week before but up 16% from the same time last year. Friday U.S. employers added 216,000 jobs in December, lower than the monthly average for 2023 (225,000) and 2022 (399,000). Other data in the report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests a strong but cooling labor market. Temporary help jobs – often a harbinger of overall hiring trends – fell for the 15th month in a row. The average hourly wage rose 4.1% from December 2022, the first acceleration in gains since June. The same report showed the unemployment rate unchanged at 3.7%, but a number of other household measures showed conditions weakening slightly from the year before. The U.S. services sector barely grew in December, gaining for the 12th month in a row, though at the slowest pace since May, according to the Institute for Supply Management. The trade group's services index showed new orders slowing and employment receding since November. Purchasing managers told the ISM they're concerned about economic uncertainty, geopolitical conflicts and labor constraints. A report from the Commerce Department showed manufacturing orders rising in November for the third time in four months. The value of orders rose 2.6% from October and was 0.7% ahead of November 2022. Excluding volatile orders for transportation equipment – most notably commercial airline parts, orders increased 0.1% for the month and declined 1.4% from November 2022. A proxy for business investments was up 0.8% from October and 1.7% from the year before. MARKET CLOSINGS FOR THE WEEK Nasdaq – 14524, down 487 points or 3.2% Standard & Poor's 500 – 4697, down 73 points or 1.5% Dow Jones Industrial – 37466,

The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller national index rose 4.8% from its year-earlier measure. It was the fifth consecutive acceleration and the ninth in a row, based on seasonally adjusted monthly gains. A representative for the index described broad-based price growth nationwide reaching its fastest pace since 2022, when the Federal Reserve began a string of interest rate increases. With rates easing in recent months, analysts expect home prices to keep escalating. Wednesday No major releases Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the third week in a row and the fifth time in six weeks, suggesting ongoing strength in the labor market. The measure of employers' willingness to let workers go was 42% below its 56-year average, according to Labor Department data. Total claims reached more than 1.8 million, down less than 1% from the week before but up 17% from where it stood at the same time in 2022. The National Association of Realtors said softer mortgage rates spurred more interest in home buying in November, but its pending home sales index remained unchanged from the month before. The index was down more than 5% from the year before. The trade group said lower mortgage rates and the prospect of the Fed reducing interest rates in 2024 should boost home sales in the new year.

Advisors on This Week's Show Steve Giles Dave Sandstrom (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (Dec. 11-15, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major announcements Tuesday The broadest measure of inflation continued to ease in November, declining on a year-to-year rate to 3.1%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index was still above the long-range Federal Reserve target of 2%, but it was down from a four-decade high of 9.1% in June 2022. For the month, the CPI added 0.1% from October as shelter costs edged up and gas prices declined. Excluding volatile costs for energy and food, the core 12-month inflation rate was 4%, tied with October as the lowest since August 2021. Wednesday Inflation on the wholesale level flattened in November, as the Producer Price Index remained unchanged following a 0.4% decline in October. Compared to the year before, the PPI rose 0.9%, the lowest since June, which was the slimmest advance since the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Excluding food, energy and trade, the core PPI rose 0.1% for the month and was up 2.5% from Nov. 2022. The policy-making committee of the Federal Reserve Board held steady on short-term interest rates, deciding not to change the cost of short-term borrowing for its third meeting since July. Since March 2022, the Fed had raised rates 10 times to their highest level in 22 years in an effort to control four-decade high inflation. The Federal Open Market Committee projected this week that it would lower borrowing costs by three-quarters of a percentage point by the end of 2024, Thursday The Commerce Department reported a 0.3% increase in retail sales in November, more than reversing a decline of 0.3% in October. The rise was broadly distributed: Eight of 13 major categories had higher sales in November, excluding gas stations, where lower prices cut into revenue. Consumer spending notably rose at bars and restaurants, often an indicator of consumer confidence. About two-thirds of U.S. economic activity is driven by consumer spending. Compared to November 2022, only two retail categories had lower sales, besides gas stations: Furniture stores and home-and-garden centers. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the third time in four weeks, dipping to 42% below its 56-year average. Although data can be marginally affected by seasonal downtime, including around Thanksgiving, the Labor Department reported total claims rising 18% from the week before to nearly 1.9 million. That's also up about 18% from where it stood the year before but still suggested employers' reluctance to let workers go. Friday The return of striking autoworkers helped boost industrial production in November, according to the Federal Reserve. Total industrial output rose 0.2% in November, though it lagged 0.4% from the year before. Manufacturing production was up 0.3% from October but was down 0.2% excluding automotive. Capacity utilization rate, an early indicator of inflation pressure, rose marginally to 78.8% in November, staying below the 50-year average of 79.7%.

The business research group reported a 0.8% drop in the index from September and a 3.3% drop since April. That compared with a 4.5% decline in the prior six months. Manufacturing orders, consumer expectations, stock prices and lending conditions all pulled the index down in October, the Conference Board said. The group repeated its forecast of a recession in the near term and predicted the economy would expand by just 0.8% in 2024. Tuesday The National Association of Realtors said high mortgage rates and low inventories led to another decline in existing home sales in October. The annual sales rate dropped 4.1% from September to just below 3.8 million houses and condos. That was nearly 15% below the pace in October 2022. Although the number of houses for sale nudged up from September, it was down almost 6% from the year before, which helped raise the median sales price to a record $391,800. That was up 3% from October 2022, the fourth consecutive gain in prices. Wednesday The Commerce Department said durable goods orders fell 5.4% in October, the third setback in four months. Commercial aircraft led the decline. Excluding the volatile transportation sector, orders were unchanged from September and up 0.7% from the year before. Including transportation, demand for long-lasting manufactured items rose 4% from October 2022. Core capital goods orders, a proxy for business investments, dropped marginally from September and were up less than 2% from the year before. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment insurance claims declined for the first time in three weeks, staying 40% below the 56-year average. The measure continued to indicate employers' reluctance to let workers go. Total claims dropped to 1.6 million, down nearly 2% from the week before but up 28% from the same time last year. Considered a precursor to spending, consumer sentiment, rose for the fourth month in a row in November as Americans lowered expectations for business conditions and fretted that inflation would quicken again after slowing recently. The University of Michigan said the sentiment reading reached 61.3 in November, down 4% from October but up 8% from November 2022. Though they lowered their outlook overall, consumers registered optimism for their own personal finances. They also raised their long-term expectations for inflation to 3.2%, the highest since 2011.

Landaas & Company newsletter November edition now available. Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Art Rothschild Steve Giles (with Max Hoelzl and Joel Dresang engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (Nov. 13-17, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major announcements Tuesday Inflation continued to slow in October, thanks in part to lower gas prices. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index, the broadest measure of inflation, was unchanged from September and up 3.2% from the year before. That was the smallest 12-month increase in the index since March 2021. Although it continued to exceed the Federal Reserve long-range target of 2%, it was down from a four-decade high of more than 9% last summer. The core CPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose 4% from October 2022, the lowest gain in more than two years. Wednesday Inflation on the wholesale level declined in October, according to the Producer Price Index. The gauge fell by 0.5% from September, led by lower prices in goods, chiefly energy products, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. The one-year wholesale inflation rate was 1.3%, down from nearly 12% in the spring of 2022. Excluding volatile costs for food, energy and trade services, the so-called core Producer Price Index rose 2.9% from October 2022, down from almost 9% in the summer of 2022. Retail sales receded in October for the first time in seven months. Sales fell 0.1% over all with seven of 13 categories reporting lower sales, including car dealers, gas stations, furniture stores and home-and-garden centers. Sales aren't adjusted for price changes, so lower prices at gas stations factored in. Bars and restaurants added sales for the seventh month in a row. Since October 2022, total retail sales rose 2.5% while bars and restaurants increased by 8.6%. Adjusted for inflation, retail sales were down 0.2% from September. Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims rose for the fourth week in a row to its highest point since September, according to the Labor Department. The measure was still 40% below the 56-year average, suggesting the relative tightness of the labor market. Total claims rose 0.2% in the latest week to more than 1.6 million, which was 27% higher than the year before. The Federal Reserve reported a slight decline in industrial production in October, the first setback in fourth months. Strikes at automotive plants resulted in a 10% drop in that sector's output from September, the Fed reported, accounting for much of a dip in manufacturing production. As a result, total industrial production declined 0.1% for the month. If not for the auto makers, total production would have gained 0.1%, according to the Fed. Industries' capacity utilization rate, an early indicator of inflation, edged down to its lowest level since June, remaining below the 50-year average for the 12th month in a row. Friday More than a year and a half after the Fed began raising interest rates, housing construction data continued to show a pause in October. The annual pace of building permits and housing starts rose slightly, remaining near pre-pandemic levels but down from accelerations in 2021 and 2022. A report from the Commerce Department showed new authorizations and new construction for single-family houses outgaining multi-family projects. The rate of housing units under construction slowed marginally in October but stayed near the highest on record, based on data going back to 1970.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Tom Pappenfus Kendall Bauer (with Max Hoelzl and Joel Dresang, engineered by Blake Miller) Week in Review (Nov. 6-10, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major releases Tuesday Imports rose more than exports in September, widening the U.S. trade gap by 4.9% to $61.5 billion. Cellphones and cars led the 2.7% increase in imports, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported. Exports rose 2.2%, led by petroleum products and soybeans. Through the first three quarters of 2023, the trade deficit widened 20% from the same time in 2022 to $147.4 billion. In that year, exports grew 1% while imports rose 4.2%. Trade deficits detract from gross domestic product, the broadest measure of overall economic growth. The Federal Reserve reported that revolving consumer credit rose at an annual rate of 2.9% in September. The increase in credit card debt suggests consumer spending – which drives about two-thirds of the U.S. economy – remained resilient. It also hints at a possible slowdown, which the Fed has been trying to achieve by raising interest rates the past year and a half. The pace of credit card debt slowed from a 13.7% annual rate in August. The quarterly pace has been decelerating since the end of 2022. Credit card borrowing took two years to recover from its pre-pandemic peak. In contrast, it took a decade to recover from the financial collapse and the Great Recession. Wednesday No major releases Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims rose for the third week in a row to its highest level since mid-September. Data from the Labor Department showed the four-week average still down 42% from its 56-year average, reflecting continued reluctance by employers to let workers leave amid a tight hiring market. Nearly 1.6 million Americans were claiming jobless benefits in the latest week, up 0.1% from the week before and up 27% from the same time in 2022. Friday The University of Michigan said consumer sentiment is declining for the fourth month in a row. Despite higher opinions of their personal finances, consumers indicated in the university's preliminary November report that high interest rates and the wars in Gaza and Ukraine soured their outlook on the economy. For the top third of stockholders, sentiment improved. The university said expectations for inflation generally rose from October, especially for gas prices.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Art Rothschild Tom Pappenfus (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (Oct. 16-20, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major announcements Tuesday In a further sign of economic resilience, retail sales advanced 0.7% in September. The Commerce Department reported that 10 of 13 major categories had sales increases in September, including a 1.1% gain for online retailers and a 1% bump for car dealers. Appliance stores, home-and-garden centers and clothing stores experienced declines. Sales at bars and restaurants rose by 0.9%, an indication that consumers remain comfortable spending. Consumer spending drives nearly 70% of U.S. economic activity. The Federal Reserve reported that industrial production rose 0.3% in September and capacity utilization advanced to its long-term average for the first time in five months. The capacity rate, a measure of potential inflation pressure, suggested that factories, mines and utilities were regaining balance after months of underusing their operations. The capacity rate for factories stayed below its long-run average for the fifth month in a row. The Fed said total industrial output was up just 0.1% from September 2022 and had grown at an annual rate of 2.5% in the third quarter. Manufacturing production rose 0.4% in September and was down 0.8% from the year before. Wednesday The U.S. housing market continued to suggest weakness in September as the pace for both housing starts and building permits stayed below pre-pandemic levels. Figures from the Commerce Department showed new construction, including multi-family units, about 25% below its pace in mid-2022. Starts for single-family houses have been below their pre-COVID level since May 2022. The pace of housing permits, an indicator of commitments to future homebuilding, also has hovered lower since the Fed began raising interest rates in 2022. Single-family housing permits, however, rose in September for the eighth month in a row, though still below the pre-pandemic level. And though new construction has been slowing, data showed that the rate of houses under construction stayed near record level, despite 14 consecutive declines for single-family units. Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the seventh week in a row, dipping to its lowest point since the beginning of February. The measure of employers' reluctance to let workers go was 44% behind the long-term average, dating to 1967. According to Labor Department data, total jobless claims fell below 1.6 million in the latest week, down nearly 2% from the week before, though up 29% from the year before. The pace of existing home sales sank 2% in September, descending to its lowest mark in 13 years. The National Association of Realtors cited limited inventory and low affordability fueled by rising mortgage rates. Houses sold at an annual rate of 3.96 million, down 15.4% from September 2022, the Realtors reported. Inventory rose 2.7% from August to 1.1 million houses, the lowest for September since 1999. The trade group said the median sales price in September was $394,300, up 2.8% from the year before. The Conference Board said its index of leading economic indicators declined 0.7% in September, shrinking for the 18th month in a row. Of 10 components in the index, nine were either negative or flat. The six-month pace of contraction slowed from the preceding six months. Still, the business research group forecast a shallow recession for the first half of 2024. Friday No major announcements MARKET CLOSINGS FOR THE WEEK Nasdaq – 12984, down 423 points or 3.2% Standard & Poor's 500 – 4224, down 104 points or 2.4% Dow Jones Industrial – 33126, down 544 points or 1.6% 10-year U.S. Treasury Note – 4.92%, up 0.30 point

The Bureau of Labor Statistics said its Producer Price Index rose 0.5% from August. Demand for goods climbed 0.9%. Since September 2022, the PPI rose 2.2%, the fastest rate since April, but down from an 11.7% one-year pace in March 2022. Excluding volatile prices for food, energy and trade services, the core PPI advanced 0.2% for the month and was up 2.8% from the year before, which was on par with recent months and down from 7.1% in March 2022. Thursday Shelter costs accounted for more than half of the 0.4% increase in inflation in September. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said gasoline prices also added to its Consumer Price Index. The gain was down from 0.6% in August. In the latest 12 months, the broadest measure of inflation rose at a 3.7% pace, tied with August for the slowest in 30 months and down from 9.1% in June 2022. The core CPI, which strips out volatile costs for food and energy, rose 0.3% from August and 4.1% from September 2022. The year-to-year rate was the lowest in two years and down from 6.6% a year ago. Based on CPI data, the Social Security Administration announced a 3.2% adjustment to benefits in 2024. That was a drop from 8.7% in 2023, the biggest raise for Social Security recipients since 1981. The average cost-of-living adjustment since Social Security began adjusting benefits to inflation in 1975: 3.8%. Social Security said the average recipient can expect an added $50 in their benefit checks, beginning in January. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims sank for the sixth week in a row, reaching 44% below the all-time average and the lowest level since January. The Labor Department said fewer than 1.6 million Americans claimed jobless benefits in the most recent week, down 0.2% from the week before but up 28% from the same time last year. The historically low claims numbers illustrate the reluctance of employers to let workers go in a tight labor market. Friday A preliminary reading of consumer sentiment in October showed lower confidence because of higher expectations for inflation. The survey-based index from the University of Michigan dropped 7.5% from where it stood at the end of September. It was 5.2% ahead of where it was in October 2022. One-year expectations for inflation rose to their highest level since May, staying well above the range before the pandemic. Long-term expectations also edged up. According to the university, expectations for rising prices tend to stifle consumer spending, which drives nearly 70% of U.S. economic activity.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Adam Baley Tom Pappenfus with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik Week in Review (Sept. 18-22, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major announcements Tuesday Trends for housing starts and building permits moved in opposite directions, according to the Commerce Department. The annual pace of starts declined 11% from July, sinking to the slowest pace since June 2020. Meanwhile, permits – an indication of future housing construction – rose nearly 7% from July, though they were almost 3% below the pace in August 2022. After pent-up demand and historically low mortgage rates rallied home building to its briskest levels since 2006, activity has tapered off in the last year amid higher interest rates. The pace of single-family houses under construction slowed for the 15th month in a row. Wednesday No major announcements Thursday Labor market conditions remained robust as the four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims declined for the third week in a row. The measure was 41% below the all-time average and the lowest since February, according to data from the Labor Department, a sign of employers' continued reluctance to let workers go. Nearly 1.7 million Americans were receiving jobless benefits in the latest week, down from 5% the week before but up 30% from the year before. The annual rate of existing home sales fell 0.7% to 4 million in August, the third slowdown in three months, down 15% from the year-ago pace. The National Association of Realtors said an ongoing lack of houses for sale continued to raise prices. Inventory dropped to a 3.3-month supply, about half of what the trade association said was needed to stabilize pricing. The median sales price hit $407,100 in August, up nearly 4% from the year before. The Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators fell in August for the 17th month in a row. The index declined 0.4% from July because of weaker measures for factory orders, consumer expectations, interest rates and credit conditions. Nearly a year and a half of falling indicators prompted the business research group to forecast a “challenging growth period and possible recession,” with projections of 2.2% economic growth in 2023 and 0.8% in 2024.

For the month, the Consumer Price Index rose 0.6%, the most in 14 months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A 10.6% jump in the price of gasoline accounted for more than half the increase. Also contributing: Shelter costs, which rose for the 40th month in a row. The core CPI, which excludes volatile prices for food and energy items, rose 0.3% from July. Year to year, the CPI was up 3.7%, after reaching 3% in June. The core index fell to 4.3% from the year before, the lowest in nearly two years. Thursday Higher gas prices also boosted inflation on the wholesale level in August. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said its Producer Price Index rose 0.7%, the biggest gain in 14 months. Food prices fell for the fourth time in five months. Excluding food, energy and trade services, the core PPI rose 0.3% for the second month in a row. Since August 2022, the PPI rose 1.6%, which was the most since April. The core PPI was up 3% from the year before, compared to 2.9% in July. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the second week in a row and the seventh time in 11 weeks, reaching the lowest level since February. According to Labor Department data, the average moved to 224,500 new applications, 39% below the average since 1967. Just under 18 million Americans claimed jobless benefits in the latest week, down more than 2% from the week before and up about 28% from the year before. The Commerce Department reported a 0.7% rise in retail sales in August, fueled by higher gas prices. Excluding gas stations, sales rose 0.2% for the month, compared with 0.5% in July. Sales rose in 10 of 13 categories. Sellers of furniture, sporting goods and miscellaneous merchandise experienced declines. Adjusted for inflation, retail sales fell 0.1% in August, the first decline since March. Friday U.S. industrial output rose 0.4% in August, the second gain in a row, though down from a 0.7% increase in July. A 5% drop in production from the auto industry held back the measure, the Federal Reserve reported. Output from factories rose 0.1%, but excluding motor vehicles and parts, manufacturing increased 0.6%. Since August 2022, overall industrial production rose 0.2%, with manufacturing output declining 0.6%. Meanwhile, capacity utilization rose marginally, reaching the 50-year average operating rate. Consumer sentiment stayed relatively steady in early September, according to the University of Michigan. A preliminary index reading of 67.7 was down from 69.5 at the end of August but about 35% above its record low in June 2022. Sentiment remained well below the historical average of 86. The university said consumer outlooks on economic conditions have improved modestly, but threats to shut down the government has the potential to send sentiment sliding.

The measure of demand for manufactured goods slipped 2.1% after gaining 2.3% in June. Through the first seven months of 2023, orders were up a mere 0.5% from the year before. Excluding requests for transportation equipment, which has an outsized effect on the indicator, orders rose 0.8% from June but were down 1.6% from July 2022. Orders for core capital goods, a proxy for business investments, rose 0.1% for the month and were up 2.3% from the year before. Wednesday The U.S. trade gap widened by 2% in July to $65 billion. Exports rose 1.6% from June, led by automotive vehicles. Imports increased 1.7%, led by cell phones, semiconductors and industrial supplies. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that through July, the deficit declined 21% from the year before with a 1.6% gain in exports and a 4.3% drop in imports. The U.S. service sector expanded in August for the eighth month in a row and at the fastest pace since February. The Institute for Supply Management said its survey of purchasing managers showed general optimism toward business and economic conditions with signs of accelerated growth. The trade group said the index suggested the U.S. economy was growing at an annual rate of 1.6%. Thursday The four-week moving average of initial unemployment claims fell for the first time in four weeks, dropping to 38% below the 56-year average, a sign that employers continue to be reluctant about letting workers go. The Labor Department reported that total claims stayed steady from the week before at 1.7 million, which was up 28% from the year before. Worker productivity rose at an annual rate of 3.5% in the second quarter, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That was down from a previous estimate of 3.7%. The annual rate of output rose 1.9% in the quarter while the hours worked sank 1.5% - the first quarterly decline in three years. Since the second quarter of 2022, productivity rose 1.3%, the first such increase since the end of 2021. That 1.3% matched the annual rate of productivity growth since the end of 2019, which was slightly below the pace during the previous economic cycle, which started in 2007.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Tom Pappenfus Mike Hoelzl (with Max Hoelzl, engineered by Blake Miller) Week in Review (Aug. 22-26, 2022) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No significant releases Tuesday The real estate market continued to struggle in July as the annual rate of existing home sales sank for the fourth time in five months. The National Association of Realtors said sales were on an annual pace of 4.07 million, down 2.2% from June and 16.6% below the rate in July 2022. The trade association blamed low inventory and high interest rates for choppy sales. Conventional mortgage rates recently reached the highest in more than 20 years. The median sales price was $406,700, up about 2% from the year before. Wednesday Though a fraction of the overall market, the annual rate of new home sales rose 4.4% in July, the Commerce Department reported. The pace reached 714,000 houses, which was up 31% from July 2022. The rate was slightly ahead of where it was just before the COVID-19 pandemic. Fewer houses sold for $500,000 or more in July (34% of all sales vs. 46% the year before). The median sales price for a new house fell nearly 9% from July 2022 to $436,700. Thursday The Commerce Department said new orders for durable goods fell in July for the first time in five months. A drop in commitments for commercial aircraft led a 5.2% decline in total orders. Excluding the volatile transportation sector, orders rose 0.5% from June. Overall demand for long-lasting manufactured items was up 4.4% from July 2022 but ahead just 0.5% without transportation. Core capital goods orders, a proxy for business investments, rose 0.1% from June and were 2.3% above of the year before. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment insurance claims rose for the third week in a row. At 236,750 claims, the average was 35% below the 56-year average, suggesting continued reluctance by employers to let go of workers. The Labor Department reported that 1.8 million Americans claimed jobless benefits in the latest week, up 0.2% from the week before and up from 1.4 million the year before. Friday The University of Michigan said its consumer sentiment index declined insignificantly in August, as Americans sensed moderating progress on inflation. The survey-based measure was 39% above its all-time low, reached in June 2022. Though still subdued historically, the index hit its second-highest mark in 21 months. Survey respondents suggested a tentative outlook toward the near-term economy and its effects on their personal finances. Economists consider sentiment a bellwether for consumer spending, which drives two-thirds of the U.S. gross domestic product.

Landaas & Company newsletter August edition now available. Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Adam Baley Dave Sandstrom (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (Aug. 7-11, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday In a sign of weakening consumer spending, outstanding credit card debt slowed in June. The Federal Reserve reported a 0.6% decline in the annual rate of revolving consumer debt outstanding, the first decrease since April 2022. The pace of total consumer debt rose 4.3% from May, including a 6% jump in non-revolving debt – which is mostly car financing and student loans. With nearly 70% of U.S. economic growth relying on consumer spending, the drop in credit card debt suggests a drop-off in commitment to buying on credit. Credit card debt in June was still up about 30% from where it plunged after the COVID-19 pandemic. Tuesday The U.S. trade deficit narrowed 4.1% in June to $65.5 billion, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported. Exports declined 0.1% from May, led by industrial supplies and consumer goods. Imports fell 1%, despite higher U.S. demand for overseas automobiles, gems, artwork and non-monetary gold. Through the first half of 2023, the balance between what Americans buy from overseas and what they sell abroad narrowed 22% from the same time last year. Exports fell 2.5% in that period; imports fell 4%. Wednesday No major releases Thursday Higher costs for shelter accounted for 90% of the rise in inflation in July. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the Consumer Price Index, the broadest measure of inflation, rose 0.2% from June. Prices for car insurance and education also rose, while the cost of air fare, used vehicles and medical care declined. Compared to the year before, the CPI rose to 3.2% from a 3% inflation rate in June. That was the first acceleration in the rate since it crested above 9% in June 2022. The core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, rose less than 0.2% from June, tied with June for the smallest gain since February 2021. The core CPI rose 4.7% from the year before, the lowest since October 2021. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims rose for the first time in six weeks but stayed below the all-time average by 37%, according to data released by the Labor Department. The total number of claims fell 0.4% from the week before to 1.8 million, up from fewer than 1.5 million the year before. Friday Inflation on the wholesale level rose 0.3% in July, led by increased prices for services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said its Producer Price Index rose 0.8% from July 2022, up from 0.7% in June but down from 11.7% in March 2022. Excluding volatile prices for energy, food and trade services, the core PPI rose 0.2% for the month – the biggest increase since a 0.3% gain in February. Since July 2022, the core PPI rose 2.7%, the lowest 12-month move since February 2021. Consumer opinions toward the economy and their personal finances stayed above year-ago lows but below historical averages in August, according to the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index. The longstanding index hit 71.2 in a preliminary August reading, up about 42% from a record low last summer but down from the long-time average of 86. Since July, consumers felt slightly better about current conditions and slightly worse about future expectations. Survey respondents said they anticipate inflation to be about 3.3% in August 2024 and 2.9% longer term.

Retail sales rose 0.2% from May, but only seven of 13 categories gained, with lower sales reported among gas stations, grocery stores, home-and-garden centers and others. Noting that retail sales represent about two-thirds of consumer spending, which is the prime driver of U.S. economic growth, the Commerce Department reported that sales were up 1.5% from June 2022. Adjusted for inflation, sales were unchanged from May and down nearly 2% from the year before. The Federal Reserve said industrial production weakened in June, declining for the second month in a row. Output from manufacturing, mining and utilities was down 0.4% from June 2022. In particular, the production of long-lasting consumer goods dropped off in June but still posted a positive second quarter. Industrial capacity use declined to 78.9%, the second month in a row below its 50-year average of 79.7%. A high usage rate can signal rising inflation. Wednesday The U.S. housing market continued to weaken in June following a year of higher mortgage rates. The annual pace for both housing starts and building permits declined from May and lagged the June 2022 level as well. The Commerce Department report showed housing under construction remaining near an all-time peak, although the pace of construction for single-family houses kept trending lower. Thursday The pace of existing home sales continued to slow in June, dipping 3% from May and remaining 19% behind the rate in June 2022. The National Association of Realtors said through the first half of the year, sales were down 23% from the same time last year. An ongoing concern: Inventory. The supply of houses for sale in June remained about the same as in May but was down 14% from the year before and only about half the level the market could absorb, the trade group said. The median price of a house sold in June was $410,200, slightly below the record high set in June 2022. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the third week in a row, reflecting employers' reluctance to let workers go in an historically tight labor market. Average claims dropped 35% below the all-time average dating back to 1967, according to the Labor Department. In the latest week, total claims dropped 0.9% to 1.7 million, up 29% from the year before but down from 12.6 million at the same time in 2021. The Conference Board said its index of leading economic indicators continued to point to a U.S. recession. The index from the business research group fell 0.7% in June, its 15th consecutive deceleration, which is the longest streak since the months leading up to the Great Recession. The group said the index fell 4.2% in the first half of 2023, compared to a decline of 3.8% in the second half of 2022. The Conference Board forecast a recession from the current quarter to the first quarter of 2024. It cited inflation, interest rates, tighter lending and reduced government spending as forces to further slow the economy.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Tom Pappenfus (with Max Hoelzl and Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (July 10-14, 2023) Significant economic indicators & reports Monday U.S. consumer spending showed resilience in May with credit card debt increasing for the 25th month in a row. The Federal Reserve Board reported revolving consumer credit debt outstanding grew by an annual rate of 8% in May. Non-revolving debt, including student loans and vehicle financing, declined at an annual rate of 0.4%. Compared to May 2022, credit card debt rose by 15% to more than $1.25 trillion, which was more than 12% above its level just before the COVID pandemic. Tuesday No major releases Wednesday The broadest measure of inflation rose at a 3% annual rate in June, less than one-third of where it peaked a year ago. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index continued slowing after hitting a 41-year high of 9.1% in June 2022. At 3%, the CPI was at its lowest point since March 2021. The year-to-year increase is still higher than the 2% long-term target of the Federal Reserve. Seasonally adjusted, the index rose 0.2% from May, with increased shelter costs contributing more than 70% of the gain. Excluding volatile energy and food costs, the core index rose 4.8% from June 2022, the lowest since October 2021. Thursday Wholesale inflation also continued to moderate in June. The Producer Price Index rose 0.1% from the year before, having decelerated each month since hitting 11.2% in June 2022, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. On a monthly basis, the index budged 0.1% from May only through greater demand for services. Demand for goods was unchanged. Excluding volatile costs for food, energy and trade services, inflation on the wholesale level rose 0.1% from May and 2.6% from June 2022. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the second week in a row to its lowest level in six weeks. The average hit 246,750 in the latest week, down 33% from the 56-year average. Total claims rose 3.8% in the latest week to nearly 1.8 million, which was up from 1.3 million the same time last year. Friday A stable labor market and slowing inflation have boosted consumer sentiment to its highest level since September 2021, according to a preliminary report by the University of Michigan. Seen as a precursor to consumer spending, sentiment has recovered from record lows a year ago and is midway back to where it left off when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. University researchers said that except for low-income workers, consumers surveyed showed broad improvements in how they view the economy and their personal finances. MARKET CLOSINGS FOR THE WEEK Nasdaq – 14114, up 453 points or 3.3% Standard & Poor's 500 – 4506, up 107 points or 2.4% Dow Jones Industrial – 34511, up 776 points or 2.3% 10-year U.S. Treasury Note – 3.82%, down 0.23 point Not a Landaas & Company client yet?

Landaas & Company newsletter June edition now available. Advisors on this week's podcast Kyle Tetting Adam Baley Dave Sandstrom (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (June 19-23, 2023) Significant Indicators & Reports Monday Markets closed in observance of Juneteenth Day Tuesday The annual pace of housing starts and building permits suggested the construction industry was picking up in May. A joint report from the departments of Commerce and Housing and Urban Development showed new construction rising nearly 22% from April's pace while permits rose 5%. Permits were at their fastest pace since September, despite being 13% below their level the year before. Housing starts, led by multi-family units, were the highest since April 2022, which marked the fastest pace since 2006. The number of houses under construction in May hovered near record heights, based on data going back to 1970. Wednesday No major reports Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims continued to rise, up for the third week in a row and the fourth time in five weeks. The Labor Department reported that the average level of new claims was at its highest point since November 2021. Though still 30% below the 56-year average, the measure of employer reluctance to part with workers was 23% above its low just before the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly 1.7 million Americans claimed unemployment insurance benefits in the latest week, up 3% from the week before and up 29% from the same time last year. The National Association of Realtors said steady mortgage rates helped existing home sales grow marginally in May. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.3 million houses sold was up 0.2% from April's pace but down 20% from the year before, when conventional mortgage rates were nearly a full percentage point lower. The trade association pointed to low inventory as an ongoing hindrance to sales, noting that the number of houses for sale were about half the level in 2019. Weakened demand resulted in the median sales price sinking 3% from May 2022 to $396,100. The Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators fell 0.7% in May, for the 14th consecutive decline. The business research group cited a negative yield spread and drops in consumer expectations, factory orders and credit conditions for the monthly setback. Since November, the index was down 4.3%, compared to a 3.8% decline over the prior six months. The Conference Board forecast marginal growth for the economy in the second quarter followed by recession toward the end of 2023 and into the beginning of 2024.

Landaas & Company newsletter June edition now available. Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Art Rothschild Tom Pappenfus (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (June 12-16, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major reports Tuesday The broadest measure of inflation slowed to the lowest rate in more than two years, though it was still twice as high as the long-range Federal Reserve target. The Consumer Price Index rose 4% in May, down from 4.9% in April and a decades-high 9.1% in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Inflation inched up 0.1% from April as a 5.6% drop in gas prices offset higher costs for shelter, used vehicles and food away from home. Excluding volatile prices for food and energy, the so-called core CPI rose 0.4% for May, trending on par with April and March. Since May 2022, the core rate increased 5.3%, the lowest in 18 months. Wednesday Inflation on the wholesale level also continued to retreat in May. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the Producer Price Index declined 0.3% from April, falling for the third time in four months, led by a 14% drop in gas prices. Excluding volatile prices for food, energy and trade services, the core PPI was unchanged from April. Compared to 12 months prior, wholesale inflation rose 1.1% in May, the lowest since the end of 2020 and down from more than 11% last June. Core PPI was up 2.8% from May 2022, when the rate had reached 6.8%. Thursday Amid signs of a slowing economy, consumers continued to fuel further growth in May, sending retail sales up 0.3%. Lower prices at gas stations held back the overall gain in retail sales, which was led by car dealerships and home-and-garden centers. Adjusted for inflation, retail sales rose 0.2% from April, the first measurable increase since December. Compared to May 2022, total retail sales rose by 1.6%, including an 8% gain at bars and restaurants. The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims rose for the third time in four weeks to its highest level since November 2021. Still, the indicator of employers' willingness to let workers go remained 33% below its 56-year average. According to the Labor Department, total claims for jobless benefits reached more than 1.6 million, down slightly from the week before. The year before, claims were below 1.3 million; at the same point in 2021, they had reached 14.8 million. U.S. industrial output declined 0.2% in May, the first dip in five months. The Federal Reserve reported broad modest setbacks in production except in the manufacturing of defense equipment and aerospace gear. Manufacturing output rose slightly for the fourth time in five months. Capacity utilization — often an early indicator of inflation —fell to 79.6%, just below its level in April and nearly the same as the average 7.97% rate since 1972. Friday With inflation cooling and the debt ceiling lifted, consumer sentiment is on the rise, according to the University of Michigan. A preliminary June reading of the university's longstanding consumer surveys showed sentiment still historically weak but up 28% from the all-time low set a year ago. While expectations for inflation are receding, consumers still anticipate a more difficult economy in the next year. Economists see consumers' sentiment as a predictor of their spending, which generates two-thirds of U.S. economic growth.

Landaas & Company newsletter June edition now available. Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Steve Giles Tom Pappenfus (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (June 5-9, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday Though at a slower pace, the services industry expanded in May for the fifth month in a row and the 35th time in 36 months, according to the Institute for Supply Management. The ISM services index, based on surveys of purchasing managers, suggested stable but slowing conditions amid sluggish demand and weaker hiring. Slower growth resulted in further reduction in the supply chain challenges that clogged the industry in the early recovery from the pandemic. The ISM reported the lowest back logs and smoothest suppliers' deliveries since 2009. The Commerce Department said factory orders rose in April for the fourth time in five months, though largely because of military orders. Overall, orders gained 0.6% from March, but excluding defense contracts, they declined 0.4%. The military accounted for about half of the 1.4% year-to-year growth in factory orders. In comparison, core capital goods orders, a proxy for business investments, rose 1.3% from March and were up 2.7% from April 2022. Tuesday No major releases Wednesday The U.S. trade deficit widened 23% in April to $74.6 billion from $60.6 billion in March. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that U.S. exports shrank 3.6% from March, led by goods, especially oil and industrial materials. Imports grew 1.5%, led by automotive products and cell phones. Through the first four months of 2023, the trade gap grew 24% from the year before. In that time, exports grew 6%, and imports declined 2%. Because trade deficits count against gross domestic product, the widened gap is another sign of slowed economic growth. The Federal Reserve Board reported that outstanding revolving consumer credit debt rose again in April, though at a slightly slower rate. While total debt rose at a 5.7% annual rate from March, revolving credit, which mostly includes credit cards, increased at a 13.1% pace. That was down from 14.6% in March, marking the fourth deceleration in five months. Still, consumers increased credit card debt for the 24th month in a row. An indicator of consumer confidence, the level of credit card debt was up $146 billion or 13% from when the pandemic started. The measure took 26 months to recover from its collapse after the pandemic. In contrast, it took more than 10 years to recover from the Great Recession. Thursday Though still historically low, the four-week moving average of initial unemployment claims rose for the second time in three weeks. The measure of employers' reluctance to let workers go reached its highest level in five weeks but was 35% below the 56-year average, according to Labor Department data. Some 1.6 million Americans claimed jobless benefits in the latest week, down slightly from the week before but up 27% from the year before.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Dave Sandstrom Adam Baley (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (May 22-26, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major reports Tuesday The annual sales rate of new houses increased un April for the third month in a row and was up nearly 12% from the year before. The pace was 2% below where it was at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and down 33% from its recent peak in late 2020. The Commerce Department said the median price fell 8% from April 2022 to just under $421,000. Wednesday No major reports Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment insurance claims was unchanged with just one increase in the last six weeks, according to new data from the Labor Department. An indication of employer reluctance to let workers go, the moving average was down 37% from its long-time average going back to 1967. Some 1.6 million Americans received jobless benefits in the latest week, down 2.8% from the week before but up 24% from the year before. The U.S. economy grew slightly faster than initially estimated in the first quarter, rising at an annual rate of 1.3%. At first, the Bureau of Economic Analysis figured gross domestic product grew at a 1.1% annual pace, but consumer spending, exports, government spending and commercial investments increased more than estimated. Offsets occurred in part through declines in inventories and decreased residential spending – for the eighth consecutive quarter. The inflation-adjusted level of GDP was up 1.6% from the first quarter of 2022 and was 6.8% above the pre-pandemic peak. The Federal Reserve Board's preferred inflation indicator showed a 4.2% increase from the year before, unchanged from previous estimates. The National Association of Realtors said its pending home sales index was unchanged in April but down more than 20% from April 2022 and down about 21% from what the trade group considers normal. The association blamed limited inventory and affordability challenges for a lull in commitments from homebuyers. Having more houses for sale, the Realtors said, would spur sales. Friday The Bureau of Economic Analysis said consumer spending rose 0.8% in April, the fourth gain in a row and the highest since January. Personal income meanwhile rose 0.4%, sending the personal saving rate down to 4.1% of disposable income, the first dip in seven months. In the same report, the Federal Reserve's preferred gauge of inflation rose 4.4% from April 2022, up from 4.2% in March. That's down from a four-decade high of 7% last June but more than double the Fed's long-term target of 2% inflation. A precursor to spending, consumer sentiment, declined further in May, erasing half the gains made since hitting an all-time low last June. The University of Michigan said descending sentiment mirrored how consumers reacted to the partisan debt ceiling standoff in 2011. Surveys showed consumers steady on inflation expectations and personal financial outlooks but worried that a recession would inflict lasting pain. The Commerce Department said military aircraft boosted durable goods orders 1.1% in April. Excluding the volatile transportation sector, orders slipped 0.2%; excluding military equipment, orders declined 0.6%. Since April, total orders rose 2.6% but were up just 0.3% excluding transportation and up 1.1% excluding defense orders. A proxy for business investments rose 1.4% from March and was up 2.7% from April 2022. MARKET CLOSINGS FOR THE WEEK Nasdaq – 12976, up 318 points or 2.5% Standard & Poor's 500 – 4205, up 13 points or 0.3% Dow Jones Industrial – 33093, down 333 points or 1.0% 10-year U.S. Treasury Note – 3.81%, up 0.17% Not a Landaas & Company client yet?

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Mike Hoelzl Kendall Bauer (with Max Hoelzl and Joel Dresang engineered by Kevin Lofy) Week in Review (May 15-19, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major announcements Tuesday Consumers returned to car dealerships and home improvement centers and kept going to bars and restaurants in April, as retail sales rose for the first time in three months. The Commerce Department reported a 0.4% increase from March as revenue rose in seven of 13 categories. Spending at retailers advanced 1.6% from April 2022, with higher sales in six categories, including online and at restaurants and bars. Corrected for inflation, sales inched up 0.1% from March and were down 3.2% from April 2022, the fifth year-to-year decline in six months. The Federal Reserve said its industrial production index rose 0.5% in April after two months of moving sideways. A 1% surge in output boosted the index amid a minimal rise in the mining sector and a decline in utilities production resulting from mild weather. Auto making led the lift in manufacturing, which was up for the third time in four months. Total capacity utilization rate rose to 79.7%, the highest since November and on par with its average since 1972. Manufacturing capacity was near its long-term average, and mining capacity remained above normal. Meanwhile, utilities continued to be using less capacity than they have historically. Wednesday Construction of new houses quickened slightly while plans for more stepped back in April, according to a Commerce Department report on building permits and housing starts. The figures showed a 2% rise in the annual pace of starts compared to March at the same time permits fell nearly 2%. Relative to April 2022, both indicators were down more than 20%, coinciding with steep interest rate increases. Both starts and permits stayed below the pace heading into the COVID pandemic. The number of houses under construction remained near record highs, especially for multi-family housing. Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims fell for the first time in three weeks after hitting its highest level in 18 months. The average remained above the low point heading into the pandemic but was 34% below the 56-year average. Total claims fell 2% from the week before, just under 1.4 million applications, which was 23% higher than the year before, according to Labor Department data. The Conference Board said its leading economic indicators shrank 0.6% in April, the 13th consecutive decline, signaling recession. The business research group noted that weakness rose from a decline of 1.2% in March, but the six-month drop of 4.4% exceeded the fall during the prior six months. Based on its index, the Conference Board forecast a mild recession for the U.S. economy beginning midyear. A combination of strong job market, vacillating mortgage rates and limited supply is causing existing home sales to bounce around, resulting in a 3.4% decline in April, according to the National Association of Realtors. The annual sales rate fell to below 4.3 million houses, down 23.2% from April 2022. The trade group said inventories rose only slightly and were just 2.9 months' supply at the current sales pace. The median price fell to $388,800, down 1.7% from the year before. It was the second straight year-to-year price drop after nearly 11 years of consecutive gains.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Art Rothschild Steve Giles (with Max Hoelzl and Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (May 8-12, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major releases Tuesday No major releases Wednesday Inflation continued to slow in April, though it remained well above Federal Reserve Board targets. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that its Consumer Price Index rose 4.9% from April 2022, the 10th consecutive reduction in pace since exceeding a four-decade high of 9% last June. It was the lowest 12 rate since April 2021 but more than double the Fed long-range target of 2% inflation. Shelter costs contributed the most to the monthly rise, but their 0.4% gain from March was the slightest for the category in 15 months. A 3% rise in gasoline prices also boosted the index as well as a 4.4% jump in the cost of used vehicles. Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment claims rose for the second week in a row, reaching its highest point since November 2021. Still, data from the Labor Department showed the measure 31% below the 56-year average, suggesting continued reluctance by employers to let workers go. Total claims for benefits declined 3% in the latest week to just under 1.8 million, compared to 1.4 million the year before. Inflation on the wholesale level registered a 2.3% annual increase in April, the lowest since January 2021. The Producer Price Index was down from as high as 11.2% last June. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the index rose 0.2% from March, the first monthly gain in four months, mostly because of higher prices for services but also due to an increase in the cost of gasoline. The core rate of wholesale inflation, stripping out volatile prices for food, energy and trade services, also rose 0.2% for the month and was up 3.4% from April 2022. Friday The University of Michigan said consumer sentiment declined sharply from the end of April as both expectations and current assessments fell amid renewed concerns about the economy. Despite lack of empirical evidence, the university said, consumers are losing faith in the economy, exacerbated by political confrontations over the federal debt ceiling. The latest survey wiped out nearly half the gains made since consumer sentiment reached an all-time low last June.

How do you build something cool enough that it becomes a disruptor? It starts with a vision for the future and is carried out by leaders who are both strong and vulnerable. Charlene Li is an expert on disruptive transformation, leadership, customer experience, and the future of work. Her perspectives from advising hundreds of companies ranging from Adobe to Southwest Airlines and 14 of the Dow Jones Industrial 30 companies provide insights to support a winning strategy for disruptive growth, and a plan to identify and seize an opportunity no one else has the audacity or confidence to reach for. Charlene rode the wave of the disruption back in the 90s as journalism was majorly disrupted by the revolution of the Internet. Traditional media as we knew it would never be the same. Charlene knows that disruption has to be viewed as a positive force, no matter how hard it might be. Leaders who can see disruption as growth are the ones who will benefit from all that stands to be gained by the change. The key is to see the future and what can be before anyone else. Charlene highlights the disruption that happened at Adobe, and the importance of taking the customer where they need to go. At T-Mobile, the vision of leadership was the driver behind the disruption. Followers are the key to building a culture like the one at Southwest to the disruption moving forward, because a movement only becomes a movement when it can go on without you.
