Podcasts about us east coast

Premiere UFO researcher Richard Dolan has broken a huge story: the PRIMARY origin of the unidentified objects we see in the sky is NOT outer space. They are coming from beneath our own oceans. Listen as Richard tells us about bases of the coast of Southern California (one of them a few miles from Whitley’s home), in the South China Sea, off the US East Coast, in Puerto Rico and many other places. Find out why they are where they are and what this means to our understanding of what they really are and what is really happening on Planet Earth–and to human kind. Powerful, mind-opening, ultra high strangeness, not to be missed!

Australia has greenlit three massive wind farms in New South Wales, adding 2.4 gigawatts of clean energy capacity, the country's environment minister announced approvals for tilt renewables, 1300 megawatt Liverpool Range. Squadron Energy's 700 megawatt Spicers Creek and Inge 372 megawatt hills of gold projects. These renewable powerhouses will offset 6.5. Billion kilograms of carbon emissions yearly, a crucial step in Australia's plan to become a green energy leader. The $838 million Liverpool Range Project will use fewer but more powerful turbines while Scroggins Energy, Spicer Creek development will power nearly 400,000 homes. Down in South America, Brazil's president has signed landmark legislation authorizing offshore wind farms, boosting the country's renewable energy strategy. The law creates incentives for wind projects in Brazilian waters while requiring consultation with coastal communities to respect local traditions already ranking six globally. For onshore wind capacity, Brazil is strengthening its clean energy portfolio, which currently provides 80% of the nation's electricity. The president specifically vetoed provisions that would have supported more polluting energy sources like coal and gas plants. Over in Europe, Portuguese renewable energy, giant EDPR is considering selling its 50% stake in ocean winds jointly owned with France Engie. The potential sale comes as EDPR aims to offset 550 million Euro losses in 2024, partly caused by suspended US East Coast projects following the presidential election. Sacramento, California based LCAP Technologies has landed a multimillion dollar contract from a leading wind energy company for its innovative ultra capacitor technology. LCAPs Ultra capacitor retrofit solution replaces traditional lead acid batteries in wind turbine pitch control systems. The deal strengthens lockout's position as a key supplier for renewable energy infrastructure as the global transition to clean energy accelerates. Swedish company Ian has unveiled a groundbreaking wind turbine tower designed to support massive 6.4 megawatt turbines. The Innovative Tower has received official third party certification, foot to zoo, confirming it meets international quality standards engineered for Vestus fee 1 62 dash six. Point four megawatt machines. The tower uses laminated veneer lumber instead of traditional steel and concrete. Avion is now adapting the design for series production with plans to construct towers reaching up to 219 meters that's over 700 feet tall. The company's modular wooden design offers two major advantages, significantly reduce carbon emissions and elimination of transportation challenges that plague traditional towers. 

The Port of Los Angeles is a major gateway for freight moving in and out of the US, which is key to the regional and national economies. The pull-forward benefits from anticipated new US implemented tariffs, and a potential strike at US East Coast and Gulf ports, helped drive 19% volume growth in 2024. This year, comparisons will become more difficult and may result in low-double-digit declines in 2H. In this Talking Transports podcast, Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share his insights about what’s over the horizon for North America’s busiest container port. Seroka also discusses the company’s emission goals, technology-driven productivity gains and how his career in shipping started with a plane ticket from his dad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First, let me start by saying that the devastation from the wildfires in the LA area is horrific. Our hearts go out to everyone who has had to experience a climate disaster. Unfortunately, these events will likely become more frequent and widespread. We plan to discuss climate disasters more and how to prepare for them in the future, but for now, we will focus on some policies that no doubt influence and fuel climate change.  In episode 164 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we discuss offshore drilling. More specifically, we will learn about the intersection between outdoor recreation economies and how activities like offshore drilling impact them.  To help explain the scope of this issue, I had the pleasure of sitting down to chat with Chad Nelsen.  Dr. Chad Nelsen is the CEO of the Surfrider Foundation, the world's largest grassroots coastal and ocean conservation organization dedicated to protecting and enjoying the world's oceans, waves, and beaches. Chad has over 25 years of experience in ocean and coastal conservation and works at the intersection of advocacy, ocean recreation, and grassroots organizing to confront some of our most pressing challenges, including climate change, plastic pollution, and poor water quality.  With a geology degree from Brown University, a Masters in Coastal Environmental Management from Duke University, and an Environmental Science and Engineering doctorate from UCLA, Chad has a strong foundation in science, policy, and management. Through his research at UCLA, Chad became a founder in the field of “surfonomics,” the study of the economic values of surfing and ocean recreation.  Chad lives in Laguna Beach with his family and enjoys surfing, hiking, mountain biking, climbing, and snowboarding with his family.  After this interview was recorded, President Biden announced the withdrawal of the entire US East Coast, the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California, and additional portions of the northern Bering Sea in Alaska from future oil and gas leasing. Taken under the authority of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, this permanently protects more than 625 million acres of US Waters from any future oil and gas development in 5-year offshore drilling plans developed by the federal government.  Surfrider and Chad Nelsen released a statement about this on January 6th:  "The Surfrider Foundation applauds the Biden administration for withdrawing these waters from future oil and gas leasing. Offshore drilling is a dirty and damaging practice that harms our ocean as well as communities and businesses while worsening climate change. The President's historic action is a key step toward ending oil and gas drilling in US waters. We call on our federal leaders to take further steps to ensure that all US coasts are protected from this harmful industry," INSTAGRAM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ WEBSITE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YOUTUBE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@theoutdoorminimalist ORDER THE BOOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/book⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LISTENER SURVEY: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ---------------------- Surfrider Foundation Website: https://www.surfrider.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Surfrider/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/SurfriderFoundation Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/surfrider/

The Los Angeles fire disaster and the necessity of socialist planning / Sellout deal announced for US East Coast docks as ILA bureaucrats praise Trump

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news China and Japan seem to be in the process of swapping places.But first, following a much better than expected rise in October, and driven by fast-rising credit card debt, the November American consumer debt levels corrected in November, falling -US$7.5 bln. Again, it was a sharpish pullback in credit card debt that drove the surprise November result. On the other hand, nonrevolving credit, which includes car loans and mortgages, saw a still-modest +2% rise, after small increases of +0.7% in October and +0.4% in September.There were announced job cuts involving 39,000 American workers in December, much lower than November and only marginally different to December a year ago. For the full year employers announced 761,500 job cuts, the most since 2020, and prior to that pandemic year, the most since 2009. In 2024, 134,000 of those cuts were in the tech sector. But in terms of the 160 mln US labour market, these announced annual cut levels are a truly tiny 0.4%.Across the Pacific in China, we noted yesterday that authorities there seem to have instituted a hard peg for the official yuan exchange rate to the USD. Now they have to defend that in open markets. Overnight they announced a massive ¥60 bln bill issue in Hong Kong in an effort to build demand for their under-pressure currency.The battle against deflation is far from over too. China's annual consumer inflation rate edged down to +0.1% in December from +0.2% in November, aligning with estimates and marking the lowest rise since March. It is now at a nine-month low. The latest result came amid a slight decline in food prices and a modest rise in non-food costs. But beef prices were down -13.8% for the year, lamb prices down -6.1%, and milk prices were down -1.6%.Meanwhile, producer prices fell by -2.3% in December from a year ago, but that was their softest fall in four months. It was the expected fall.And perhaps we should also note that, although there was little movement in the past 24 hours, the 30 year Chinese bond yield at 1.89% is now lower than the equivalent Japanese government bond at 2.30%. While it is not the case for other tenors, the shifting directions are the same - China down and Japan up. China is turning Japanese, and Japan is shifting out of its hard deflationary cycle.In Japan, wages rose +3% in November from the same month a year ago, rising from the +2.6% increase seen in October and higher than market forecasts of a +2.7% gain. However, real wages adjusted for inflation and a key indicator of consumers' purchasing power fell by -0.3% year-on-year in November.In India, they have downgraded their fast economic growth estimates. After growing +8.2% in the year to June 2024, they now say that will 'slow' to +6.4% in the year to June 2025. Apart from the pandemic period, that will be their slowest expansion in more than a decade. While these expansion rates are still high by any standard, the worrying component for them is the fast slowdown in private investmentFrom the EU there was some positive economic news. Retail sales volumes - that is, after considering inflation's impact - were up +1.5% in November and to their best level since September 2022.In the UK, there are bond yield shifts too, some of them sharp. Their 30 yr Government bond is up to 5.46%, their 10 year up to 4.88%. That is more than +100 bps higher than a year ago. In just the past month their 10 yr is up from 4.37%. These 10 year benchmark levels are higher than either New Zealand or Australian equivalents now, and the shift up has caught financial market attention.Australian retail sales rose +4.1% in November from the same month a year ago, a positive 'real' gain. They were up stronger than that national average in Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia. But the were only up +2.9% in NSW.Australian exports rose to AU$43.8 bln in November from October in a recent rising trend and boosted by strong rural exports. But at that level they are still -5.0% lower than in November 2023. Imports were also lower in November from a year ago. And their merchandise trade surplus was -AU$4.5 bln lower than in November 2023.The rush to get product from China to the US is in full swing now and commanding a premium on containerised freight rates. Those routes saw a +13% jump last week, which pushed the overall market up +2% for the week. Freight rates for other key routes are not on the move however. This special situation is expected to reverse within the next two weeks, and the global trade system's immediate outlook is quite uncertain. Bulk cargo rates fell -8% last week, and are now back to levels that prevailed in the mid-1980s.And an update on the US East Coast and Gulf waterfront labour dispute. The automation issue is settled and another strike is averted. On balance, employers lost. Markets have repriced equities lower for listed port operators. So US waterfront costs will stay higher than in most other port jurisdictions.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 4.69%, and up +1 bp from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$2669/oz and up +US$18 from this time yesterday.Oil prices are back up +50 USc from this time yesterday at just on US$74/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is now just under US$77.The Kiwi dollar starts today just under 56 USc and down -10 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 90.3 AUc. Against the euro we are down -10 bps at 54.3 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 66.9 but really little-changed from this time yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$94,218 and down -0.5% from this time on yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at +/- 1.9%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again on Monday.

Jackie Fox, RTÉ's States of Mind podcaster speaks to us from Washington

The week opens with the moon in the sign of Pisces. Monday can be quite chill; we can receive and connect. For people who stay up late on the US East Coast (or if you live in a different time zone) it's lovely to bring in opportunities and situations that augment or support your goal. Now, let's say you usually sleep at that point in time. It's really good to do dream work — put wishes or intentions under your pillow, or simply bring them to mind before you wind down and go to sleep. Ask your unconscious mind to draw in to conscious awareness new ideas. When you dream, you're open to what might come. Your ability to receive can be heightened. You might wake from a dream with a revelation, or have an impression, jot it down to make more sense in the waking hours. If it's symbolic content: animals, shapes, colors, objects or a convoluted story — give it time to tell you what it means. There's a picture in the sky between Venus and Uranus, an opposition. Depending on where this falls in your horoscope, you might be attracted to something or someone unusual for you. The thing about a Uranus transit is we experiment but it doesn't mean commit to it for the rest of your life. It can bring in a sense of “wow!”, which can be cool or on the other hand, “what was I thinking?”For the Full Moon… more on the podcast Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe

In this week's episode, I review the movies and streaming shows I saw in the second half of summer 2024. The episode concludes with a preview of the audiobook of HALF-ORC PALADIN, as excellently narrated by Leanne Woodward. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 218 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is September the 13th, 2024 and today we are discussing my Summer Movie Review Roundup, Part 2. Just to note to say that you may hear some odd background noises in this episode. My neighbor across the street is getting his roof replaced. I can't begrudge them that because no one likes a leaky roof, but it is slightly inconvenient because this is the only time today I have to record the podcast. So if you hear the occasional pop in the background, that is the sound of a nail gun driving shingles into a roof. Before we get to our main topics, let's have an update on my current writing projects and then we will do Question of the Week. First up, Shield of Conquest is very nearly done. I am about 2/3 of the way through the final round of editing and if all goes well, it should come out shortly after this episode is available, so be sure to check your favorite ebook retailer and see if it is out. Once that is done, I will be going full speed ahead on Ghost in the Tombs and I'm currently 48,000 words into that, so about halfway through the rough draft, give or take, depends on how long the rest of the book takes and how certain scenes in the final half of the book out. In audiobook news, Half-Orc Paladin is done, and it's now available on all the major audio stores: Audible, Amazon, Apple, Google Play, Chirp, Kobo, Payhip, Spotify, and a couple others, and you can get it there. We will close out this episode with a preview of Half-Orc Paladin (as excellently narrated by Leanne Woodward). 00:01:30 Question of the Week Now let's have a Question of the Week. Question of the Week is designed to inspire interesting discussions of enjoyable topics. This week's question: what is your favorite superhero movie? No wrong answers, of course (including “I don't like superhero movies”, but it turns out no one said that, so I guess superhero movies are quite popular). The inspiration for this question was that I was thinking about how superhero movies are such a major part of pop culture. Nowadays when people think of superhero movies, they usually think of Marvel and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there were major superhero movies before the whole Marvel Cinematic approach really got going in the 2000s/2010s and they've been obviously part of pop culture for a very long time, and as you could expect, we had a wide range of responses from this. Our first response was from JD, who says: If I had to pick just one, it would probably be Guardians of the Galaxy. The first film had a near perfect mix of action, drama, and comedy. For me, the best Batman film was the 1966 one starring Adam West. Joaquim says: In the last millennium, when I was a child, we had DC Comics and Marvel Comics. I did like Batman in DC, Spider-man and The Avengers in Marvel. In the movies, I did not particularly like Batman, but I like the early Marvel movies, Avengers 1 and Captain America 2 the most. Mary says: X-Men. Todd says: 1978 Superman. Visually at 15, I believed a man could fly. Juana says: My superhero is actually a couple - The Vision and Scarlet Witch (before they turned Vision into an emotionless thing a while back). What's interesting is that the guy who was in charge of Picard Season 3, which I quite liked, is apparently going to be running a Vision show for Marvel sometime in 2026 (assuming Disney doesn't run out of money first), so it should be interesting to see how it turns out. Stephen says: I know this is random- Shang Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings. I know it was not completely an original storyline, but I liked it a lot. I agree with Stephen. I thought Shang Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings was one of the stronger Marvel movies and it's too bad it hasn't had a sequel. Becca says: The Dark Knight trilogy. Those are the real Batman films for me. Ledger was certainly the best Joker. I do love the happier Batmans, too. I grew up on West's version of Batman. For me, V for Vendetta is my favorite superhero movie and one of my favorite movies ever. I usually watch it at least once a year. Michael says: Captain America: The First Avenger. Juliana says: Second Captain America. The spy aspect really married well with the superhero genre in this one. I agree with Juliana. I think Captain America: Winter Soldier is one of the better Marvel movies. Roger says: only because we're entering the season, The Christmas Chronicles with Kurt Russell. Andrew says: Deadpool and Wolverine, followed by The Dark Knight trilogy. James says: I know Fox's X-Men get a bad rap generally, but Days of Future Past was amazing. I'd have to go with that, with The Dark Knight, Thor: Ragnarok, and Wonder Woman as runner-ups. Cheryl says: don't really have favorites, but for eye candy, Thor. Catriona says: The original Christopher Reeve Superman. Jenny says: Mystery Men. Jeanne says: Megamind. Randy says: Christian Bale and Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight movies are definitely in the top three but Iron Man has always been my favorite. Good story, good pacing, and Robert Downey Junior just nailed playing Tony Stark, in my opinion. Not to mention it kicked off the longest, largest, story movie arc to this day. BV says: Superman 1978. Terry says: Fifth Element. Gary says: Hancock. For myself, I think my favorite superhero movies would be the Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale Dark Knight trilogy. Strong performances, great action, and they managed to do something very difficult, namely bring a satisfying end to a superhero story arc. It almost feels like The Dark Knight movies are the “real” events of Batman and all the other comics and cartoons and movies are legends and exaggerations after the fact, like how the whole glittering mythos of King Arthur and the Round Table developed around an obscure Roman British warlord in the 500s AD. Also, Heath Ledger's version of the Joker was amazing. That said, for Marvel movies, which have been kind of the dominant form of superhero movies for the last decade, I think the best one of those would be Captain America: Winter Soldier (in my opinion). 00:05:45 Main Topic: Summer 2024 Movie/TV Roundup, Part 2 And now on to our main topic of this episode, my Summer 2024 Movie Roundup, Part 2. And if this movie roundup has a theme, it's miscellaneous. The reason for that is I did not actually watch all that many movies in the second half of the summer. There was no nefarious reason for that. I was just busy with travel and busy with multiple instances of home repair and busy finishing Half-Orc Paladin and Shield of Conquest. So I mostly watched some older stuff that I found on streaming, especially on Tubi, which has the delightful attribute of being free with ads. As usual, the movies are listed from my least favorite to my most favorite and the grades are totally subjective and based upon my own thoughts and opinions and nothing more substantial than that. So with that in mind, let's start out. First up is The Burbs, which came out in 1989. It's a dark comedy/horror movie satire starring Tom Hanks as Ray, a suburban homeowner with a wife and a son. On vacation for the week, Ray becomes obsessed with the Klopeks, a new family that has moved on to his street. The Klopeks have no interest in maintaining their property and show signs of other odd activities: going out only at night, constant digging in the backyard, and strange noises and lights coming from their basement. Soon, Ray and his two neighbors become determined to find out just what the Klopeks are up to. It was darkly funny, though you could tell that the ending had been rewritten a few times. The movie couldn't decide if it wanted to be a satire of clannish homeowners or to totally validate their concerns, or both. I think it tried for both and couldn't quite get there. Though it does kind of show how much the United States has changed or possibly declined in the last 35 years. Ray and his friends are shown as kind of losers, but they live in enormous, well-maintained houses. It's like how Homer Simpson in the first couple seasons of The Simpsons was shown as a bumbling loser, but yet he could afford to live in a four bedroom house, his wife didn't work most of the time, they had two cars and three children, and all without Homer having a college degree. By the standards of 2024, Homer Simpson lived like a king. Amusing anecdote-one scene in The Burbs was clearly inspired by A Fistful of Dollars, which I talk about more below. Overall grade: C Next up is The Batman vs. Dracula, an animated movie which came out in 2005. In this movie, Batman goes up against Count Dracula. This was probably as dark and gory as something can be while still technically remaining targeted at children. When a robbery goes bad, the Penguin accidentally releases Count Dracula from his tomb and becomes the Vampire Lord's new chief servant. Dracula is fascinated by the modern world, but he's especially fascinated by Batman since for obvious reasons he admires Batman's bat-themed motif. Dracula offers Batman the chance to become his chief lieutenant, which Batman refuses and Dracula takes that personally. He'll get his revenge by turning Gotham City into a city of the undead and taking Bruce Wayne's girlfriend, Vicki Vale, as his new vampire bride. Unless, of course, Batman stops him. It was interesting how neatly Dracula slots into becoming a good enemy for Batman. After all, in the original Dracula novel, Dracula's nemesis Van Helsing was definitely a man of science who brought logic, reason, and scientific method to his fight against Dracula. Batman is also a man of science in the sense that he's a detective, so he does some detective work to unravel Dracula's weaknesses and to build weapons to use against him. Overall Grade: B Next up is Set It Up, which came out in 2018. This is a romantic comedy that reminded me a bit of the more cynical 1940s-era romcoms like The Shop Around the Corner. The female lead Harper works as a personal assistant for a workaholic female sports writer who terrorizes her employees. The male lead Charlie works for workaholic male venture capitalist who also terrorizes his employees. Both their bosses are miserable, demanding people who make everyone around them unhappy. One day, both Charlie and Harper are dispatched to get dinner for their bosses and end up fighting over the last available delivery man. However, in the wake of the encounter, Harper hatches a plan. Both she and Charlie know everything about their respective bosses, so why not manipulate their calendars and schedules so they fall in love? They might be more cheerful, or at the very least they'll be in the office less frequently. Charlie has his misgivings about this plan, but after one more unfortunate encounter with his boss, decides to embark upon Harper's plan. Of course, Charlie has a high maintenance girlfriend who wants him to make a lot more money, and Harper is trying to find a boyfriend, but as per the rules of romcoms, perhaps Charlie and Harper will have more in common than they might think. This had a bit more crude humor than I might prefer but was still enjoyable. It did remind me quite a bit of the more cynical ‘30s and ‘40s movies like My Man Godfrey or the Shop around the Corner. Overall Grade: B Next up is The Bank of Dave, which came out in 2023. This is basically the cynical British version of a Hallmark movie, but with better production values. It is very, very loosely based on the activities of Dave Fishwick, a successful van dealer in the north of England who decides to start a local bank for local people, feeling that the Big London banks have lost sight of that. To do that, he recruits a London lawyer named Hugh to help him navigate a labyrinth of regulation around financial institutions. Of course the big banks dislike this idea and come after Dave hard. Dave is definitely the local Big Man, and it's interesting that humanity's default mode of government seems to be Local Big Man. However, if one must have a Big Man, one could only hope he is as benevolent as Dave. The movie was pretty funny, though a lot of the humor comes from the UK's class and regional divides, which are rather more pronounced than in the United States. Here in the United States, you can drive for 300 miles and be in the same state the entire time, and the local culture won't change all that much. The cliche is that the US East Coast and the US West Coast look down upon flyover country, but you can drive something like 1,000 miles from New York before you even get to Flyover Country. If you drive 300 miles in the UK, you've probably gone through six or seven regional accents and local traditions. The Bank of Dave does kind of turn into a Hallmark movie since Hugh falls for David's doctor niece. So basically a romance with the backdrop of British class/regional struggle as comedy. Overall grade: B Next up is Cool Runnings, which came out in 1993. A sports comedy film very (and I mean very loosely) based on the debut of the Jamaican Olympic bobsled team in the 1988 Winter Olympics. When sprinter Derice Bannock is unable to qualify for the Jamaican Olympic team due to an accident, he decides to instead to start a bobsled team to represent Jamaica in the Games. To do this, he recruits washed up former bobsledder Blitzer (played by John Candy) to act as the team's coach. What follows is a pretty good example of a sports movie. The team must come together and perform while overcoming their own personal challenges and inner conflicts, especially Coach Blitzer, who has to dig deep and overcome his past to effectively coach the team. It's interesting that sports movies tend to follow one of two trajectories. Either the team rallies and wins the championship, or they don't win the championship and nonetheless achieve moral victory by overcoming their internal difficulties in learning to work together. I won't spoil which path Cool Runnings follows. Overall Grade: B Next up is Uncle Buck, which came out in 1989. This is a coming-of-age comedy film about a 40 year old man, oddly enough. I did think this was pretty funny. Bob and Cindy are a married couple with three children living in the suburbs of Chicago, and when Cindy's father has a heart attack, they need to rush to his side. Due to the unexpected nature of the news, they have to find someone to watch the kids while they're gone. In desperation, they turned to Bob's brother Buck, who alternates between working for his girlfriend at her tire company and making money on rigged horse races. While Buck is kind of a loser, he's basically a decent guy, just averse to responsibility and settling down. He quickly steps up to take care of the children, though he conflicts with the oldest daughter Tia, who is in the grips of a full-blown adolescent rebellion. Buck soon realizes that he's come to a crossroads in his life, which is reinforced when Tia runs away to a party for the weekend. Slightly dark in places, but definitely more family friendly than many ‘80s comedies. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is the Adjustment Bureau, which came out in 2011. It is a science fiction romantic thriller based on the Philip K. Dick story, which is a very odd sentence to say, but it's true. Matt Damon plays David Norris, a congressman from New York who just lost the Senate race. Preparing for his concession speech. He meets Elise (played by Emily Blunt) and is immediately smitten with her. A month later, he runs into her by accident on a bus and receives her phone number. However, soon mysterious suited men with unusual powers arrive and burn the paper with the phone number. The men explain to David that they are The Adjustment Bureau, charged with making sure history unfolds according to the mysterious Plan. The Plan says that David can never see Elise again. David of course is not the sort of guy to take that lying down, so he soon finds himself trying to outwit the Time Cops and find Elise. It was interesting that The Adjustment Bureau was very similar to the Time Variance Authority from the Marvel Loki show, so I wonder if they drew on some of the same sources of inspiration. An interesting movie and worth watching. It actually wrestled with the oldest philosophical question in Western civilization: are all things predestined or do we have free will? Or is it somehow both? I have to admit that the scene where Elise dunked David's BlackBerry in coffee was very satisfying to me personally, since I had a lot of support headaches with Blackberries back in the 2000s. Overall Grade: B+ Now, finally the favorite thing I saw in the second half of the summer 2024: A Fistful of Dollars, which came out in 1964. This was the first Spaghetti Western I've seen, which means it's Italian director Sergio Leone's sort of stylized version of what the Old West was like. Of course, the movie actually ripped off the Akira Kurosawa samurai movie Yojimbo. In fact, it was so heavily ripped off Yojimbo that Kurosawa sued, settled out of court, and received 15% of A Fistful of Dollars' revenue. Apparently Kurosawa made more from the settlement than he did from Yojimbo. Legal troubles aside, it was quite good and I could see how it heavily influenced many subsequent movies. For example, the Star Wars character of Boba Fett was inspired by A Fistful of Dollars and Boba Fett in turn inspired the Mandalorian. Stephen King's rather disappointing Dark Tower series was inspired by Dollars as well. And there are many other examples, such as the scene in The Burbs I had mentioned above earlier. Anyway, Clint Eastwood plays The Stranger, a mercenary gunslinger who seems to be drifting from town to town without a purpose. He arrives at San Miguel, a US-Mexican border town that is dominated by two crime families at each other's throats, the Rojos and the Baxters. Both clans seek to hire The Stranger for their organizations and the gunslinger begins playing them off each other for personal profit. As mercenary and as ruthless as he is, The Stranger seems to have a core of honor to him. A couple of times he goes out of his way to help people because he can, which sometimes gets him into trouble. Definitely worth watching as a classic film. Overall Grade: A So that's it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful.

pPlanet X / Asteroid and Effects David Eells – 4/28/24 (audio)   (Note: I was told not to warn of this until told to.) I was shown by the Lord on 3-27-24 that: *An asteroid will show up beside the Sun on 4-15-24. A top government official said their astronomers said this came to pass. *The asteroid will be 10 days ahead of Planet X - Nibiru. *Planet X will show up beside the Sun 4-25-24 (because it is front and side lighted by the Sun). It will show best at 4pm EDT and it will look like a redish star on the left side of the Sun. Shortly after that time we saw it. (Update 4-25-24: Michael and I had one pair of these paper and plastic eclipse glasses passing them back and forth. We saw the same thing at the 8 o'clock position on the Sun and close to the Sun but we think we were only seeing the half of it that was facing the Sun because it was lighted. At one point I saw 3 very small dots positioned on the face and edge of the Sun in a semicircle facing this thing at 8 o'clock.  I thought it could be orbitals or moons of P-X, which we have had dreams of. They soon disappeared as they moved and were no longer in front of the Sun. A top government official was watching too as He spoke with us.  He said their astronomers said, “it is there”. If that is it, I would suspect to see an uptick in volcanic and earthquake activity soon. I asked if our friend would try to get us professional pictures and He said he would try. After leaving the Sun it will be hard to see until its closer and far bigger.) The DS will attempt to cloud up the sky but the angels will sweep the clouds away (Update: They did, The Sun was clear and distinct with clear sky. Usually it's so diffused with the garbage they spray in our atmosphere you can't make it out. Shortly after we saw what we did the clouds moved back in.) So we could have just got our 40 day warning (Note: like Jonah, who said, “in 40 days Nineveh will be destroyed.” The people repented and God had mercy. Years ago in a vivid dream I saw myself standing over the Gulf of Mexico looking down on Nineveh which was the U.S.. There was a huge bomb hanging above the U.S. by a string with a bow in it. It did not fall and I knew it was the delay. Nineveh only got one delay. But it is always possible that Father gives you individually mercy. This will be a Psalm 91 Passover for the Saints. *The asteroid will hit earth 40 days from first sighting on 5-25-24. (This is the same day that Virginia Boldea saw 3 pieces hit the earth below.) *Planet X will fly by earth 40 days after the first sighting on 6-4-24, hence a 40 day warning. From history & science of P-X what could happen? *It could cause extreme earthquakes and tsunamis to cross America and the world, which we have been warned of. *It could cause an earth tide and slip the crust on the mantle which could bring earthquakes around the world as it turns before this extreme gravitational planet. *It could draw the South Pole towards it pointing the northern hemisphere into darkness for a few days. *It could slow earth's rotation causing the 13+ miles extra feet of water held at the equator by centrifugal force to rush north and south. *Earth's orbit would then bring it through Planet X's tail, which is full of asteroids, meteorites and boulders and this would cause fireballs to rain on earth for about an hour. (I claim no titles, I just want people to be spared to see the coming revival.) *A top Alliance US Government Official confirmed that these specific dates are within the boundaries of the government astronomers calculations. *The first confirmation, by the same government official, was that the asteroid did appear by the Sun on 4.15.24 as I told him it would. *He agreed that if the 10 days between the Asteroid and Planet X were correct, that Planet X would show up next to the Sun on 4.25.24. It will look like a star next to a very big Sun. *We have received dreams that an asteroid would enter the atmosphere and break into 3 pieces. One would land in the North Atlantic Ocean and the other would land somewhere between there and Puerto Rico. The third asteroid piece would land West of Puerto Rico in the Mona Passage or Straight. *This will hit the North American Plate southern boundary, causing a huge slip fault, which could shake the United States fault lines loose. P-X is only 10 days behind this and will be adding to the earthquake and tsunami troubles. *Our dreams, which were five, have said that an East Coast Faultline that goes from New York through Washington DC, to Alabama to the Gulf will be the first to quake, then to the New Madrid fault to split the country and dump the Great Lakes. Then it will go out to the West Coast and simultaneously over to Tennessee. *Dreams and revelations can be delayed by repentance as it was with Nineveh but I believe those who repent will be spared. Reasonable Comments: *Do not move by fear of this revelation. Fear is faith in reverse. Seek the Lord for His directions for you and trust Him. *Angels would remove some people from dangerous areas. We would see water in places never before seen in our lifetime. Seek high ground as the Lord leads. The Military has advised their retirees to settle at least 400 feet above sea level. *People should be gone from the East Coast, Gulf Coast, New Madrid Zone, Mississippi River Valley, and the West Coast before 5-25-24! Don't wait until there is a bottle neck or you won't get out. I have seen many sit through hurricanes stuck in their vehicles on the interstate because they waited too late to leave the Gulf Coast. Tsunami's are far more deadly. * Those of you on the West Coast of Africa and Europe beware of tsunami's. God will use these two catastrophes to judge the wicked! (Make sure you are not one of them.) Confess your sins according to (1Jn 1:9)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  Ask the Lord to save you and fill you with His Holy Spirit. The Man-child reformer ministry is coming to lead us through the wilderness created by these things. Efrain dream https://www.ubm1.org/?page=caribbean#Efrain https://www.ubm1.org/?page=great-earthquakes-and-tsunamis     Caribbean, East & Gulf Coast Tsunamis? David Eells - 10/30/2013 (David's notes in red) First of all, we are prophesying nothing, but we are trying to put together the warning picture that God is sending, here a little and there a little, while attempting to weed out the paranoia that always comes to discredit the truth. The Lord says, "We prophesy in part", so pray for your own revelation for your own area. God gives dreams, visions and prophecies to warn people to repent and cry out for mercy, that He may lessen the destruction and bring revival… Concerning some of the revelations shown here of 3 meteor/asteroid/comet. An asteroid or meteor will look like a comet when entering the atmosphere. An Asteroid is what we are dealing with and this threesome is the beginning of great trouble for earth. Will one piece of a meteor/asteroid/comet hit the water west of Puerto Rico, striking a fault in the Mona Straight and causing a 12-magnitude earthquake? (Some say we have never seen a 12. This is true but we have never had a planet X pushing these things at us before either. They have never seen a planet fly by with many times the gravity of earth pushing asteroids and meteors at us with a tail full of meteors, asteroids and rocks that earth passes through. They have never seen an earth tide that rips the crust of the earth lose in waves.)   And the resulting tsunami will devastate the islands there and the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts? Efrain Rodriguez and others had a revelations of this. An earthquake in the Mona Straight could set off that East Coast quake that could bring a domino effect on the rest of the faults across the nation since we are all sitting on the North American plate. I believe through prayer the Quake, height of the tsunami and depth it will reach into the US coasts has been lessened since these revelations were first given, which is why God gives these revelations ahead of time. The three asteroids in the area would mean the very big rock that has been seen coming is broken up by God into 3 as it comes through the atmosphere. People should ask God now if they are to move from the Gulf and East Coasts and the West Coast. Three asteroids/meteors/comets begin the troubles. In Virginia Boldea's vision, three comets were at peace but then they struck the earth and it was the beginning of troubles and some signs say the tribulation. This could also be a cause for the darkness and the many fireballs increasing to fall. Then many fireballs fall in {Rev.8:5} And the angel taketh the censer; and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there followed thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake. (Evidently a very serious earthquake.) {6} And the seven angels that had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. {7} And the first sounded (Tribulation first trump), and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. The smoke would darken the sky as in Leon's revelation. {Luk.12:49} I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?... Mark Bevan: I came across this map that you will find very interesting. From NOAA: "A magnitude 7.3 Magnitude earthquake on October 11, 1918, in the Mona Passage or Straight, west of Puerto Rico, was caused by displacement along four segments of a normal fault, oriented N-S in the Mona Canyon. The earthquake generated a tsunami with runup heights reaching 6 meters, causing extensive damage along the western and northern coasts of Puerto Rico. The earthquake and tsunami caused $29 million damage, 116 people were killed and 100 more were reported missing". While the map is pictured in time increments, it would certainly seem to back up my theories. Besides what is the coincidence that a tsunami already occurred in the exact location within the last 100 years (Has it been reloading tension for this 100 years?), proving the fault line and enabling a study to be done on the potential impacts? David: This article speaks of the deepest submarine trench in the Atlantic, about 5.2 miles deep, along the north side of Puerto Rico and into the Mona Straight, which is a tremendous landslide and tsunami possibility. The fact that the North American Plate is pushing under the Caribbean Plate at Puerto Rico, making it seismically active, and the previous quake and tsunami in the Mona Straight seems to imply they don't need a space rock to have an earthquake there. This type of situation with one plate pushing under another is where the worst quakes happen. We have thought that this could set off the East Coast quake that has a domino effect to the West Coast, but since our North American plate goes down to and under the Caribbean plate in the Mona Passage or Straight, these two quakes could be one and the same.   Fragment Passes Over Puerto Rico? Eve Brast - 12/14/2013 David's notes in red I had a short dream on Saturday morning, December 14th. This dream was strange because it was like I suddenly appeared in the dream, like I was dropped into or popped into the situation without any notice. I dreamed that I was suddenly standing next to an airport runway on the island of Puerto Rico. (Where Efrain Rodriguez' dream took place.) As I looked northward and back toward the west, I could see the Gulf coastlines, Florida and the Eastern coast of the U.S. but they looked distorted in the distance, like viewing them through a telescopic fish lens and I could see white rays of light reflecting from the edges of the lens around everything that I was seeing. The runway of the airport ran from east to west. I didn't have much time to gain my bearings, as I became aware of a large fireball plunging toward the earth from the east. (As in Efrain's dream.) It made a roaring sound as it passed over my head. I thought in the dream.) (We have prayed that this rock will not be as big as the Lord first told us.) I never got to witness the impact because after I saw this, I was suddenly up in the heavenly realm where I was witnessing an angel in the same direction that the fireball came from scooping up hot glowing coals from an altar with both hands. (From the same direction indicates the source of the asteroid judgment. The glowing coals could mean asteroid/meteors will come as fireballs. {Rev.8:4} And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand. (Fiery judgment just before the tribulation.) {5} And the angel taketh the censer; and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there followed thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake. (Could this be the magnitude 12 quake that shakes the whole earth?) Then the tribulation trumpets begin.) {6} And the seven angels that had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. {7} And the first sounded (trib begins), and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. (Showers of asteroids, meteors/fireballs.) I heard the Spirit say, "Three-thirds". (This makes a whole that is made up of three parts. This is the one rock that breaks into three when it enters the atmosphere. This could also indicate some dreams we have received about the beginning of the end-time tribulation: Three Asteroids / Meteors Begin Troubles; 3 Comets, the Beginning of Pain. which we cover below) He then placed the coals from the altar into a bowl next to the altar where they melted into blood. (Much death will come of this) As he raised his hands up from the bowl, one last tiny fragment of coal fell from the angel's palm and hit the blood in the center of the bowl and it sent large ripples traveling through the blood to the edges of the bowl. (Tsunamis across the Atlantic.) (This fragment could be the fireball that I had witnessed in the previous scene of the dream [falling into the sea].) (This could agree with Lakeisha's dream in which God was judging the Harlot and Beast with fireballs.) The meaning of this dream seems to show a literal meaning as well as Spiritual representations, based on the scriptures Father gave me. These judgments will bring a great revival.   Meteor Shower Beginning ... Luis Parada - 07/16/13 Jeannette Henderson: Brother David, my son Luis, since he was a little boy, loved the Lord. When he was at the nursery school, when he was two or three, he told me that Jesus used to come to his nap time and take him to Heaven, but that the teacher didn't know it. When he was in grammar school and we used to pray and I read stories of the Bible to him, he used to tell me that Jesus was coming to his room and would sit by his bed. My mom had a vision of him preaching. He testifies of the Lord and has a lot of wisdom in his words when he talks about the Lord to others, but has not fulfilled the vision yet. Luis Parada: In my dream, I was in a vehicle with a couple of people. I'm not sure who they were but they were about my age. We were driving somewhere but it was evening because the Sun was setting. I remember saying the sky looked beautiful. Then I noticed in the distance a sparkle that looked like a shooting star and before I could say anything, they said, "Look! A shooting star". But then it was brighter and split into three and I said, "That's not a shooting star! That's an asteroid or meteor! " Then in the distance I could see the ball of fire from the impact. After the first impact (The asteroid ahead of P-X), we looked in the sky and there were hundreds of shining lights coming through like a shower of them. (Earth going through the Firey tail of Planet X/Nibiru with its asteroids and meteors afterwards.)  They panicked and got scared, asking, "What do we do?" The first thought that came to mind was, I was right! God promised never to come back with water but that the next time would be with fire. I said in a calm voice, "There's nothing you can do. You can't hide from this. If it hits, then it hits and that's it". Then I realized I wasn't scared or nervous but thought, It's time; it's begun! Then I woke up. (This is the beginning of major Judgments at the beginning of the Tribulation.) The weird part is, I very seldom have dreams and if I do I only recall bits and pieces but the ones that I'm able to remember vividly seem important. We have had many dreams of dangerous fireballs falling from the sky and killing people that sounded more like an asteroid or meteor breaking up and coming through the atmosphere of Earth, as we were passing through the tail of Planet X / Nibiru. There seems to be a timing shown in this dream with an asteroid and ball of fire impact which comes before P-X. And then the many fireballs which are just after the passing of P-X when we pass through the tail. And a timing in the saying, "It's time; it's begun! " The earths great judgments begin here at the beginning of the Tribulation. Notice that "It's time; it's begun! "sounds a lot like 3 Comets, the Beginning of Pain in Virginia's vision which I believe speaks of asteroids/meteors, which coming through the atmosphere look like 3 comets with tails, but are shown in many other cases to be three asteroids/meteors hitting the earth.   The Beginning of Pain (Three Comets) May 25, 1997 vision of Virginia Boldea (daughter of Dumitru Duduman and mother of Michael Boldea, Dumitru's interpreter.) It was not a dream. It was late. I am sure it was past midnight on the 25th of May (This is the same day I was told that the asteroid would hit the earth as 3 pieces – (I said, “The asteroid will hit earth 40 days from first sighting on 5-25-24.” And it hits as 3 pieces just as in Virginia's vision where on 5-25-24 she saw them hit the earth. I have had Virginia's vision on our site for many years but never knew the date was significant until yesterday. What a confirmation! Notice in reporting her revelation she speaks of May 25th twice...) I had just returned from a hard day's work. First I had gone to a few villages to give help. Afterwards, I began praying for a few hours. I lay in my bed listening to a prophecy I had received. Suddenly, I began to see, even though my eyes were shut. I saw an immense flower garden. The flowers were as tall as a man with a healthy stems, but the buds were blue and bent forward. Every flower only had one bud. A cloud suddenly appeared near the garden and it appeared to be very close to the ground. (Meaning the earth is bearing the first fruits of the Lord. A bud is the place the flower is born from. And this happens as the first major judgments come.) A man dressed in white stood on the cloud (near the garden of the first-fruits). He was slightly taller than a normal man and in his hand he had a trumpet in which he began to blow. (This represents the first trump of the tribulation with its judgements.) The sounds that came out of this trumpet would turn letters which would then turn into words in the sky and then ignite, burning up the heavens. I did not understand the writing because it was an unknown tongue. I did, however, recognize that it was in Hebrew. (A Word of the Lord!) There were a handful of comets in the sky which looked to be peaceful. Suddenly three of them, all different sizes, began to head toward the earth. (All of the other revelations that we have of three hits to the earth at the same time are of an asteroid breaking into three as it enters the atmosphere. When they enter the atmosphere they start burning and looking like a comet with a tail.) When they hit the earth there was total devastation. (Just like the three asteroid parts.) As I looked up, the sky turned black and I saw thunder. The thunder was also black. A dark cloud lifted up (It may darken the Sun) and it began to rain. When I looked closer I saw that it was not rain but drops of blood. (Many will die from this and the earthquakes and tsunami's this will bring.) As I looked to my left, I saw another man standing on another cloud. He was very tall, dressed in white, with his hands raised high. Each time he moved his hands, fireballs would come out of his fingers. (This is the angel whose fingers pulled out the coals of fire from the alter and cast them on the earth as fireballs. This comes 10 days after the asteroid when earth goes through the tail of Planet X.) I looked, awestruck, at the man's height and the way his face shown and radiated. Then a powerful voice said: "Remember what I have shown you. This will be the beginning of the pain that I will allow upon the earth". (As we have seen with the three strikes on earth, They begin the Tribulation.) He repeated this phrase again, after which he spoke to me: "You prepare yourself, be strong, and draw close to me with fasting and prayer for I will come to show you things more terrifying than these". Then everything disappeared. Notice also in Luis' revelation that after the three asteroids/meteors hit, many fireballs come probably as earth passes through the tail of Planet X..    Three Asteroids and Tsunamis Destroy Coasts Ann Peterson In April 2001, I was moved to ask God what was coming at us. The question was as generic as that...but not the answer. I was then shown North America on a globe. I saw three balls of fire streaking across the globe. One hits in the Gulf of Mexico (This is the tsunami that devastates the coast with water.)...another hits near the east coast of Florida(The Mona Straight by Puerto Rico)...and the third is farther out in the Atlantic.(With tsunami's hitting the US East Coast and Europe and Africa. Saint Patrick prophesied that Ireland would be flooded by one wave from the Atlantic seven years before the end. So the Tribulation 7 years follows this asteroid.) I then see America get smaller. Florida is washed over, as well as much of the East Coast and the coastal areas of the Gulf. (The same areas hit by the tsunami's from the 3 asteroid pieces.) I asked if people would be warned of this event in any way. I was told that this was the warning. I asked again about the others who did not hear or see initial warnings. I heard that there would be a very small window of opportunity for people to get out of harm's way...but most would still not listen. Then the only "close-up" view I got was of I-95...it was a death trap...and those were the words I heard, too. (Why is I-95 a death trap? Because it goes up the East Coast through D.C. and when the Tsunamis from the incoming asteroid pieces come, the coastal people will get on I-95 to escape but it is a bottle neck and they will die there on May 25th. Also when the East Coast Faultline quakes at this time it could trap some people next to the coast.) Then I was shown a short period of relative stillness; then I saw the middle of America rise up, then separate into two land masses with a great body of water between the two halves. (The New Madrid Quakes split the country and dump the Great Lakes down the Mississippi River Valey and carve out the land 50 miles wide in some places. It will not be bridged there.) When I inquired about what I was to do...I live in Florida...I was shown a specific area in North Carolina that I had to be at. I was also told I would be there before this happened. I am currently planning my move for asap. If finances had allowed, I would be there now...but things being as they are, I will be there in the next two months. I cannot even begin to list all the ways God has confirmed this for me.   Three Celestial Bodies Augusto Perez - 08/23/2009 I saw three celestial bodies suddenly appear in the sky at night and begin to move in a very strange way. I perceived that the three celestial objects were a threat to the inhabitants of planet Earth, although at first they looked like harmless bright stars. I noticed that one of them was bigger, brighter and much more menacing than the other two. However, I was not shown what these celestial objects were or where they had come from. Interpretation: In the future, there will be three celestial bodies, and at first they will seem harmless, but soon will become a threat to the inhabitants of Earth. The people will become very afraid, for their lives will seem to be in danger. Terror will grip people's hearts at the sight of these objects.   Vision of the Three Stars Augusto Perez - 03/30/2004 I was watching the sky. It was pitch black and there were these three stars there. (The Greek word for star in Revelation is Aster from which we get our word, asteroid. He saw 3 pieces of a broken asteroid.) All of a sudden, they started moving and writing on the sky, as if it were a blackboard. At first, I did not understand what was being written because the language was unknown to me (maybe it was Hebrew). But slowly I started to understand what was being written; then I started seeing what was being written and then suddenly I was in the middle of it. I saw what was coming upon the world. I saw horrible, devastating cataclysms (Huge earthquakes, shifting continents, Tsunamis, Water leaving many places uninhabitable, many volcanoes, etc.), a terrible world war, much bloodshed and destruction, (When the tribulation starts in Rev 6:1-4 the Man-child reformer ministry manifests, and then there will be a terrible world war. Rev 6: 2  And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. (Jesus in the Man-child reformers of Rev 12 reforming the Woman Church.) 3  And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.  4  And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.). (Here is when the second 3 1/2 years of the tribulation starts in Augusto's revelation.>) the manifestation of the man of sin (In 2 The. 2 he is called the son of perdition, whom Jesus said was Judas, who betrayed the Body of Christ after 3 ½ years.) and the fierce persecution he will begin of all Christians on this nation and the whole world, leading to the mark of the Beast and all kinds of horrors. I saw and experienced the great suffering humanity will go through, especially those who belong to the Lamb. When I came out of this vision of the night, I was sobbing in travail and wet with perspiration. To this day, I am affected by what I experienced that night. I can still hear the screams of the people as they fled in fear for their lives. Once again pray that God has mercy and these judgments on a wicked world will be lessened. (Days before May 25, be gone from the East Coast, Gulf Coast, New Madrid, Mississippi River Valley, West Coast.   Babylon DS Falls, Planet X, Revival Now I would like to share of God's work through Planet X in bringing the fall of Deep State (DS) Babyon, a criminal demonic entity, which has taken over the U.S. and the world. Since we have seen that we are so close to the Tribulation wilderness history will repeat. As it was when Israel was delivered from the Egyptian Beast army, that wanted to keep them in bondage, by the Passover and the Red Sea so it will be this time with the DS Babylonian beast. By the time the people of God enter their wilderness Tribulation the Beast will be gone. The Egyptian historians wrote that at their destruction they saw the Red Dragon destroyer overhead and it must be repeated for God said in Ecc 1:9-10  That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.  10  Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us.. Also P-X will be a destruction to the economy of the world and it will bring revival. God has promised to destroy Babylon in the DS and in the Church when He shakes heaven and earth by P-X. Isa 13:1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see... 9 Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine. (Why? Because P-X has set off earthquakes and volcanic activity around the world as He goes on to say.) 11 And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity: and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 12 I will make a man more rare than fine gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir. 13 Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place (By Planet X, which is God's judgment on the wicked including the factions in the Church and in the DS), in the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.  This is a study of Isaiah chapters 23-27. Isa 23:17-18  And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years (Which is after the captivity of God's people to the Beast is over that Jeremiah spoke of.), that Jehovah will visit Tyre (Same type as Babylon with the same prophetic judgments to prove a parallel. Both speak of DS America.), and she shall return to her hire, and shall play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. (Fulfilled) 18  And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to Jehovah: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before Jehovah, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing. (Fulfilled – Cyrus President Trump is destroying Babylon DS and found their “hidden treasures of darkness” in a cave and is restoring the economies of the Church and world with it. P-X will interrupt this to destroy the wicked which He through Trump started.) Isa 44:28  That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure, even saying of Jerusalem (John was told in Revelation that Jerusalem is now the Bride.), She shall be built; and of the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid. In the New Testament, Paul pointed out over and over that the temple is the people of God, who said He does not abide in temples made with men's hands. “The letter killeth but the Spirit giveth life.”) Isa 45:1-4  Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and I will loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut: (Even the gates of Babylon were open.) 2  I will go before thee, and make the rough places smooth; I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron; (Babylon stretched across the Euphrates River with bars and gates on either bank to keep enemies out but they were open and Cyrus' military poured in and killed the King.) 3  and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, (Cyrus Trump has plundered Babylon whose DS had plundered the Nations.) that thou mayest know that it is I, Jehovah, who call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel.  4  For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. Isa 24:1-23  Behold, Jehovah maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down (A geographic crustal pole Shift –as we will see in verse 18), and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. (Water will go everywhere and scatter the humans to high places, as we will see. God is no respecter of sinners >) 2  And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him.  3  The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly laid waste (What naturally could do such a thing to the whole earth? A crustal shift and the earthquakes and volcanic action that would come from it.); for Jehovah hath spoken this word.  4  The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do languish.  5  The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. (The reason this judgment is coming is men are ignoring the “everlasting covenant” and to bring men to fear God and repent.)  Rev 14:6  And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having eternal good tidings (or Gospel) to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people. This Gospel and Covenant is very rare but can be found in the Bride and Man-child. Jer 50:5  They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come ye, and join yourselves to Jehovah in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten. The only eternal or everlasting covenant is the New Covenant for the old covenant couldn't perfect the saints and it passed away in Christ as Paul said. 6  Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned (This is fireballs from heaven by P-X on those who are guilty of bringing the curse on the earth, like what fell on Sodom and Gomorrah.), and few men left.  7  The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh.  8  The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.  9  They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.  10  The waste city is broken down; every house is shut up, that no man may come in. (Men will not trust men in a time of desperate need and roving gangs of robbers plundering what they can.) 11  There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.  12  In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.  13  For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done. (A remnant shall be reaped for the Kingdom.) 14  These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout; for the majesty of Jehovah they cry aloud from the sea.  15  Wherefore glorify ye Jehovah in the east, even the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.  16  From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away, woe is me! the treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously. (I asked for a word for Kevin years ago and got this word for his treacherous slanderous cult but I am sure it is broader than that. The Satanic Dragon murderers and Judas' of their own brethren must be included.) 17  Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. (Notice: P-X will bring a worldwide judgment.) 18  And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise (Screeching noise of a crustal shift of the earth on its mantle.) of the fear shall fall into the pit; (Sinkholes everywhere made by the crustal shift.) and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare (FEMA prison): A crustal shift is the crust slipping on the mantle from an earth tide by P-X.  Rev 12:3-4  And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, …  4  And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth (If you view the stars and you see them fall to the horizon it means there has been a polar shift or a crustal shift. The core has a gyroscope effect which resists falling and can upright but the crust can fall by 1/3rd and stay there, according to this verse. SEE Verse 20  This could happen at the time of the Man-child Ministry Birth.): and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. Continuing Isa 24:18 for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble. (Earthquakes and Crust slippage) 19  The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is shaken violently.  20  The earth shall stagger like a drunken man (Like a gyroscope slowing down, which causes 13+ miles of extra water held at the equator by centrifugal force of the earth spinning at a thousand miles an hour. When this happens the excess water rushes north and south scattering humanity.), and shall sway to and fro like a hammock; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again (Earth would not upright after the passing of P-X if it was a crustal shift. We have been told in dreams that we would have Hawaiian weather here. Also many large cities have been found beneath the waters which probably happened 3600 years ago when P-X came by.).  21  And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. (P-X will kill many.) 22  And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit (hell), and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited. (After 1000 years they will be brought to the Great White Throne judgment.> Back to present time.) 23  Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed (Volcanic activity will be earth wide. Super volcano have darkened the earth for a year making a constant winter; worse than DS chemtrails.) ; for Jehovah of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders shall be glory. (This is confirmed here in Rev 5:10  and madest them to be unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon the earth. Isa 25:1-12  O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth.  2  For thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. (Babylon DS) 3  Therefore shall a strong people glorify thee; a city of terrible nations shall fear thee. (Babylon is a city of terrible nations, which are now being delivered.) 4  For thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.  5  As the heat in a dry place wilt thou bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones shall be brought low.  6  And in this mountain will Jehovah of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.  7  And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that covereth all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. (God will feed His people and deliver them from their deceptions by this Mountain.) This mountain is the Kingdom of God and it is most fully manifested as Mount Zion, the Bride, whose head is the Man-child. Here God is King and is obeyed. Here is the place of safety. Notice that He said He would use them to take away the deception veiling the people. Zec 2:1-5 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.  2  Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.  3  And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,  4  and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein. (Zion, the Bride, is a worldwide city that cannot be measured and has no physical walls for they are not needed for there is no curse on the Bride. God is her fiery wall of protection.) 5  For I, saith Jehovah, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her. Back to Isa 25:8  He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken it.  9  And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.  10  For in this mountain will the hand of Jehovah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dung-hill. (The Brides factious enemies are being destroyed.) 11  And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim; but Jehovah will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands.  12  And the high fortress of thy walls hath he brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust. Isa 26:1-21  In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city (Zion); salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks.  2  Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in. (Only the righteous will enter the Bride.) 3  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.  4  Trust ye in Jehovah forever; for in Jehovah, even Jehovah, is an everlasting rock.  5  For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city (Babylon DS): he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.  6  The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.  7  The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just.  8  Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial name, is the desire of our soul. (Judgments bring many to the Lord.) 9  With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.  10  Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah. (With favor the wicked don't learn. With judgments like P-X the wicked learn the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom. Then they can handle Favor or grace.) 11  Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up (When Moses' hands were lifted up the people of God had victory over their enemies.) , yet they see not: but they shall see thy zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.  12  Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou hast also wrought all our works for us.  13  O Jehovah our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. (Idols of false leadership and religion are falling.) 14  They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish. (This has to happen so the people would follow the reformers into the wilderness tribulation.) 15  Thou hast increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land. (Great revival will come from these judgements.) 16  Jehovah, in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.  17  Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been before thee, O Jehovah.  18  We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. (The Church has been a dismal failure to bring in the harvest for their tools are of the flesh.) 19  Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead. (The out-resurrection at the time of the Man-child like it was with Jesus will help to bring in the harvest, which the apostate Church has failed to do. Also resurrection life in God's people will bring in the harvest.) 20  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. (We must abide in the Psalm 91 Passover of the destroyer dragon, as did the Israelites coming out of Egypt and Babylon.) 21  For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. (The judgment of the Lord and disclosure or declass of the DS sins will reveal all their blood guiltiness. Their slain will be uncovered. Isa 27:1-13  In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea. (The sea is the peoples tribes and nations that the DS serpent/dragon of Satan has been hidden in but their destruction is upon them.) 2  In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it. (God has a vineyard washed in the blood of Jesus that He is watching over to preserve.) 3  I Jehovah am its keeper; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. (He has a Psalm 91 Passover for the righteous.) 4  Wrath is not in me (Against the righteous): would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! (Like the beasts who would attempt to take the righteous down.) I would march upon them, I would burn them together.  5  Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; yea, let him make peace with me. (Pray for the repentance of the elect among the beast peoples.) 6  In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud; and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit. (Great revival will come to God's people from this…Praise the Lord!) 7  Hath he smitten them as he smote those that smote them? (Yes, God smote His erring people by the wicked whom he will now judge.) or are they slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by them? (Yes, God will smite those who smote His people.) 8  In measure, when thou sendest them away, thou dost contend with them; he hath removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind. (God has chastened His people and they will bear fruit. He will destroy the wicked who will reap what they sowed.) 9  Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob (representing the Church) be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, (The wicked were the altar that sacrificed the flesh of God's people. The wicked will now be destroyed as a day of the Lord.) so that the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more… (Their idols will be gone.)   12  And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will beat off his fruit from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt; and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.  13  And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown (The first trump of the tribulation.); and they shall come that were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt (When they came out of Egypt they entered the wilderness tribulation trump.); and they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem. (The holy mountain on which the Bride sits is the Kingdom of God. The Church which will come out of Beast captivity will live IN the mountain of the Kingdom of God.)       Planet X Causes the New York Quake  Jay Nara - 8/30/2011  David's notes in red Yesterday I was reading the daily newspapers and my little 2 1/2-year-old boy came to me and pointed in a drawing at what looks like a red sun which looks like the brown dwarf or Planet X. Then he looked at a second photo as his finger landed exactly on the words "NEW YORK." Then he said, "Coming." He took a few steps back and then came back and did it again, pointing to the same photos in the same order without saying anything. (Looks like Planet X would cause the coming earthquake in New York. That fault line goes down to the Gulf. And according to our dreams and visions it is the first quake that begins a domino effect of quakes that cross the nation.)   When I realized what he just did, I was amazed because his vocabulary is very small and I've never heard him say that word before. The connection between these two related to the earthquake in New York, which came immediately to mind, as well as the rest of it coming upon the U.S. and even the whole world, of which I was listening to in last night's UBBS. My wife Terez even saw something in the picture that was like Mount Zion and the Tower of Christ standing in between the red sun and people (us). Since my boy did it "twice", I think it makes it more credible and that's why I came up with an idea to call it two witnesses (similar to a two dream confirmation).   We already had many prophecies and little stories about believing his birth was a type of a coming man-child; some of them we sent to UBM. I remember one of them was his heartbeat before he was born was constantly evolving around 144. I was so amazed with it, I even took a photo. I have more confidence in stories like this, especially when they come out of the mouth of babes, than reading 10 prophecy books of today's Christians.       Huge Earthquakes Cross the U.S. Sandy Shaw - May 2011  David's notes in red | Deb notes in green  In a dream, I saw the NYC skyline from a distance and it was shaking. All the skyscrapers and buildings were going back and forth.  Then it was as if NYC zoomed in closer and I saw all the buildings collapsing. Many people were dying all around me. I saw the ground really shaking, vibrating and cracks were starting to form. I looked up and saw many piles of rubble from the fallen buildings and then the ground started buckling and moving the piles of rubble. At that time, I started seeing fire come up from out of the ground. I was observing this from very far up in the air and was able to see very far into the distance.  As I saw fire erupting from the ground, the Lord took me closer and I was then positioned right over the fires, looking down into the fire. I could feel the heat on my face and at first I thought it was gas lines erupting that were causing the fire. As I got closer, I saw what looked like red hot mud or clay with flames and it was oozing out of the buckling cracks of rubble. (This could be volcanic action of lava. Chuck Thacker said that an earthquake fault was discovered directly under NYC in the 1920s by a subway construction crew. They reported a crevasse so deep that they could not hear anything they dropped in hit the bottom. Some way they poured concrete over it and continued. This fault is under 14th Street, which runs from 1st Avenue to 11th Avenue in Manhattan. (This is speculated to be the hardened dome of a lava bubble, a really big lava bubble. The subway line was moved over enough to where they found footing to continue. We used to ride the train there all the time.)  I saw these cracks (likened to a glass breaking) headed from the East coast toward the center of the nation to the New Madrid fault. There were small, large and gigantic cracks heading toward the eastern side of the New Madrid fault line. (These cracks are called "spider legs".)  I was taken near to the center of the nation where I could see both coasts of the country and I was hovering over a large crack in the ground. I was facing south, with the Great Lakes behind me and the crack went all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico. The ground began shaking and the new cracks began forming going back toward the East coast, moving in all directions like a fan very quickly. The shaking was constant from this point on but at different times it slowed down, becoming soft like tremors, and at other times it was shaking hard, violently.  As the cracks were moving, they reached about half of the distance of the large crack (New Madrid) and then my attention was drawn to the right of me and I looked west of the New Madrid crack and saw cracks going in all directions toward the West coast. They were cracks of many different sizes and they stopped at different places as they hit other cracks and then headed in different directions and some went all the way to the San Andreas fault in California. As these cracks hit the San Andreas, the ground was rising and falling to meet each other like hands coupling together as they join and then separate. California was shaking hard and at the same time so was the New Madrid area. The cracks began separating the areas where Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky meet and went all the way over to North Carolina. These cracks and many more are what isolate the boat-shaped piece of land in the Tennessee Valley and then I saw the crack around the boat fill with water. (Confirmed by other dreams.) This is where I turned around to look at the Great Lakes, or where they were supposed to be, and all the water began rushing down, filling up all the areas in the center of the nation that have been affected by all the quakes. It emptied these areas that split the U.S.. Water flooded in from the Gulf of Mexico, as well. When all the flooding was done, many portions of the US were under water. (Sandy said some of this water may be temporary, I believe so, but some will stay.)  (Back to Sandy's new dream:) Then the Lord told me, “It's started.” Some said, “What started?” I said, “The earthquakes!”   Jeff and Brandy looked right away on their phones and said, “There is an earthquake on the East coast.” (That was a 5.8 if I remember correctly and it went down the same fault as the first big one will that is coming to start the chain reaction. It identified for us where that fault is.)  David said, “Lets pray.” So we all started praying for the ones that knew the Lord and the ones that didn't. We prayed that the Lord would bring them out and that the Lord's protection would be on them. (The warning quake and prayers will save many.)  Then the Lord said, “In a few days, you will feel some.” (Meaning more smaller quakes before the Big quakes.) We started praying for ourselves and pleading the blood for our protection. When the Lord said that to me, I knew that we would start to feel earthquakes here but not the big one yet. (We did feel a 3.)  So I said that. We were praying in tongues in the same one accord that was at the beginning of the meeting. Then I woke up.  I got two texts by faith at random, Romans 15:17 I have therefore my glorifying in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God. 18 For I will not dare to speak of any things save those which Christ wrought through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, 19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;  Romans 1:17-19 For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness (The factious in Church and government are known for hindering the truth.); 19 because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.   A warning through the Apostle Paul that the Lord through P-X shook the heavens and the earth and will do it one more time. Heb 12:26-27 ASV  whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven. (Planet X is known to shake the heavens and the whole earth.) 27  And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.p

This week the boys begin a multi episode discussion of the legendary diving book, "The Last Dive" by Bernie Chowdhury. Even if you haven't read it (do you even dive bruh?) you'll gain fabulous insight into the history & evolution of diving in the early 1990's and technical diving in particular. This is the true story of the Rouses and their tragic demise wreck diving off the US East Coast. As a tech diver himself, Bernie does a fantastic job of portraying the atmosphere of the technical (both cave and wreck) diving community in it's infancy during the late 80's and early 90's. Bernie's excellent telling of the story combined with his explanation of the nuances and details of diving make the book a great read for divers and non-divers alike!

Andrew Lewin discusses a recent study that reveals major cities on the U.S. East Coast are sinking at a rate of up to 5 millimeters per year. The sinking land poses a significant risk to infrastructure such as roads, railways, airports, and pipelines. The study highlights the need for increased awareness and action to mitigate the potential damage and increased flood risks. The episode emphasizes the importance of considering sinking land alongside sea level rise and the challenges faced by cities in upgrading and adapting their infrastructure.  Link to article: https://phys.org/news/2024-01-nyc-dc-cities-east-coast.html Follow a career in conservation: https://www.conservation-careers.com/online-training/ Use the code SUFB to get 33% off courses and the careers program.   Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/3NmYvsI Connect with Speak Up For Blue: Website: https://bit.ly/3fOF3Wf Instagram: https://bit.ly/3rIaJSG Twitter: https://bit.ly/3rHZxpc    According to a recently published paper by Virginia Tech and the U.S. Geological Survey, major cities on the U.S. East Coast are sinking at a rate of up to 5 millimeters per year. This may not seem significant, but the long-term implications are concerning, especially considering the high population and infrastructure density in these areas. The study focuses on the sinking of the land itself, separate from sea level rise, which exacerbates the issue. The sinking land poses a threat to critical infrastructure such as roads, railways, airports, and levees, increasing the risk of damage from flooding and storm surges. The study highlights that this sinking land intersects directly with population and infrastructure hubs, such as New York City, Long Island, Baltimore, Virginia Beach, and Norfolk. The authors emphasize the need for attention to this issue, as it can lead to significant damage and increased flood risks. The cost of upgrading and maintaining infrastructure in these sinking areas is expected to be substantial, and the process of making necessary changes is often complex and expensive. The study provides valuable information on the sinking of land along the U.S. East Coast, which is not being widely addressed by other sources. It serves as a wake-up call for cities to prioritize infrastructure updates and consider the sinking land when planning for the future. The sinking land, combined with rising sea levels and increased storm intensity, poses a major challenge for coastal cities and requires proactive measures to mitigate potential damage and protect vital infrastructure. According to the podcast transcript, the sinking of land along the US East Coast is a separate issue from sea level rise. The sinking of the land, also known as subsidence, is occurring at a rate of up to five millimeters per year in certain areas, such as New York City, Long Island, Baltimore, and Virginia Beach. This subsidence is causing the land to sink, while sea levels are simultaneously rising. When these two factors are combined, it can lead to increased flood risks and damage to critical infrastructure. The sinking of the land is a significant concern because it affects areas with high population and property density, as well as historical complacency towards infrastructure maintenance. The podcast highlights the potential impacts on roadways, runways, building foundations, rail lines, and pipelines. These infrastructure elements are at risk of damage from flooding and storm surges. The podcast emphasizes the importance of addressing this issue, as the sinking land intersects directly with population and infrastructure hubs. For example, major airports like JFK and LaGuardia in New York City, as well as railway systems, are already being affected by subsidence rates exceeding two millimeters per year. This can lead to disruptions in transportation and increased flood risks. The podcast also mentions the challenges and costs associated with addressing this issue. Upgrading and relocating infrastructure can be difficult and expensive, especially in larger cities. The authors of the study mentioned in the podcast emphasize the need for this information and highlight the value of the Virginia Tech team's work in providing accurate data on subsidence rates. Overall, the sinking of the land along the US East Coast, when combined with sea level rise, poses significant risks to critical infrastructure and increases the potential for flooding. This issue requires attention and consideration from cities and governments to mitigate the impacts and protect coastal communities. The study discussed in the episode emphasizes the importance of cities prioritizing the updating and maintenance of infrastructure based on areas of sinking land. The sinking of land along the US East Coast poses a significant risk to critical infrastructure such as roads, railways, airports, and levees. The sinking land intersects directly with population and infrastructure hubs, making it crucial for cities to address this issue to prevent potential damage and increased flood risks. The episode mentions that the sinking land can lead to billions, if not trillions, of dollars in damages over the years. Upgrading and moving infrastructure in response to sinking land can be a costly and complex process. The episode highlights the difficulties and expenses associated with making changes to infrastructure, as mentioned by Dr. Andrew Thaler, who has experience in climate change committees. The authors of the study argue that the sinking of land is not an intangible threat and that it affects millions of people and hundreds of thousands of properties along the East Coast. They stress the need for cities to take this issue seriously and consider the potential impacts on infrastructure and the increased flood risks. The episode suggests that cities should use the study's findings to prioritize infrastructure updates and maintenance based on areas of sinking land. By identifying the areas that are sinking at a higher rate, cities can allocate resources and investments to mitigate the risks and protect critical infrastructure. This approach would involve considering the sinking land in combination with sea level rise and increased storm surges caused by climate change. Overall, the episode highlights the need for cities to be proactive in addressing the sinking land issue and investing in infrastructure updates and maintenance. By doing so, cities can minimize potential damages and ensure the resilience of their infrastructure in the face of rising sea levels and increased storm intensity.

Up and down the Atlantic Coast, the land is steadily sinking, or subsiding. That's destabilizing levees, roads, and airports, just as sea levels are rising. Read this story here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Full Transcript:  Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the first major winter storm to hit the East Coast so far this season. Let's get the very latest on that with Bloomberg meteorologist Rob Carol and Rob Nathan. The weekend storm is going to be worse to the north and west of the district in Baltimore, and also north and west of New York City and north and west of Boston. The major cities are going to see some mixing with rain that that's going to hold down the accumulations. But it's the areas to the north and west that are going to do quite well where it stays all snow. Three to five inches possible north and west of the district in Baltimore, while north and west of New York City as much as five to eight inches will fall. We could see as much as five to ten inches of snow north and west of Boston during the storm. Okay, Rob, So when do you expect this wintry weather is going to end. Storm's going to wind down during the evening and overnight hours in the district in Baltimore. In New York city. It comes to an end Sunday afternoon the Boston area. I will see it ending late Sunday night early Monday morning, and we should see quite a bit of an improvement weatherwise into Monday of next week. Okay, Rob, Carolyn, thanks for that. We'll be checking back with you for more on this East coast winter storm throughout the day. Mowe now turned to the crucial jobs are poored for the month of December. Nathan It's forecast a show one hundred and seventy five thousand jobs were added a last month, and we get more from Bloomberg's Michael McKee. Wall Street goes into today's jobs report expecting strength in hiring and wages. That was not what the Fed was expecting a few months ago. The central bankers want job growth of about one hundred thousand a month and unemployment in the fours to signal an easing of labor market inflation pressures. Instead, they're likely to get a continuing conundrum, a strong labor market but falling inflation, making it hard to know the best path for interest rates. They will probably focus on the composition of jobs. Some analysts say job growth should be concentrated in low wage sectors like healthcare, assistants and restaurants, and that will be the sign the Fed wants that the economy is slowing. McKee, Bloomberg Radio. All right, Mike, thanks for the options market. It's been a buzz ahead of the jobs report. There is a large parish wager underway on yields rising to four point one five percent by the end of the day. That would mark the biggest one day rise in tenure yields since late March. It would be a further retrenchment for treasuries following last year's furious two month rally. In checking the tenure right now, it is at four point zero three percent. Well, Nathan. Rates are also in focus overseas. Traders are pairing bets on cuts from the European Central Bank. Let's go to London and get the latest from Bloomberg's Ewen pots Hore Youwen, Karen, and Nathan. It's the first time since mid December that traders are betting on fewer than six quarter point rate reductions from the ECB. At the end of last year, the market was pricing as much as one hundred and seventy four basis points of cuts. That number has now slipped blow one hundred and fifty basis points and key data this morning, shining more lights on the inflation pitcher. You're area CPI coming in at two point nine percent in the year to December. That's a higher number than the previous month as energy subsidies expire in a number of countries. In London, you and pot Splomberg Radio, all right, you and thank you. Now we turned to the latest developments in the Middle East. Secretary of State Antony Blincoln is returning to the region, his fourth trip since the October seventh attack on Israel. Bloomberg Zamie Morris reports from Washington, there is a risk the war between Israel and Hamas can spread into a broader regional conflict. This trip is part of US efforts to prevent that. Secretary Blincoln will travel to Turkey, Jordan, Cotter, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Israel. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller says they don't expect some of these conversations to be easy. We want to prevent the conflict from spreading, but part of that means that people need to stop taking strikes against our soldiers, and if they take strikes against our soldiers, we're going to do what we need to protect ourselves. Groups backed by Iran have escalated attacks across Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen and armed forces in a rocker also warning of a quote dangerous escalation after a US right killed a senior commander in an Iran backed militia in Washington, Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio, all right, Amy, thanks. Meanwhile, the Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the two explosions that killed almost one hundred people in Iran. The attacks risked inflaming tensions further in the Middle East, with Iran saying it had been targeted because of its stands on Israel. Bloomberg Henry Meyer looks at the impact of the Islamic State taking responsibility for the attacks. It's significant in the sense that it reduces the risks of a more confrontation between Israel and Iran. Iran had said that the bloss with the work of people who were trying to punish it for its stance on the Israeli offensive in Gaza. And you know, obviously any suspicion of Israeli involvement could have proved extremely explosive, and Bloomberg Henry Meyer notes US officials said from the start the attacks had the hallmark of a group such as Islamic State. Back here in the US, Karen, there's more fallout over the resignation of former Harvard president Claudine Gay. The Reverend Al sharped and led a protest at Bill Ackman's Manhattan offices yesterday. The civil rights activist says the billionaire investors campaign against Gay is a blow to the diversity, equity and inclusion movement. Gay stepped down as Harvard's first black president this week in a backlash over her handling of campus antisemitism and accusations of plagiarism. Meantime, Nathan Business Insider is reporting Bill Lackman's wife, Nary Auxman, plagiarized multiple sections of her doctoral dissertation at MIT. Acman responded to the report in a post on X, writing, you know you struck a chord when they go after your wife. Time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris. Amy, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. Residents in the small town of Perry, Iowa, held a vigil last night, hours after a gunman opened fire at the local high school, killing a sixth grader and wounding four other students in the school's principal, Andrea Meyer, is a two thousand and four alumna at the school, and she spoke at last night's vigil green rally around our survivors, our community, our teachers, our first responders, and we're going to show them what we've shown them every day for as long as I have known that we appreciate them, enjoy them, respect them, and dare I say love them. The suspect, identified as seventeen year old Dylan Butler, a student at Perry High School, also died of an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound. Classes are canceled throughout the school district for today. Florida Governor Ronda Santis and former UN Ambassador Nicky Haley held back to back CNN town halls in Iowa last night as they fight to be primary GOP presidential challenger to Donald Trump, who already has a huge lead in the polls. DeSantis called Haley a phony who is quote playing for voters who are not even core Republicans. I'm the only one that has a chance to beat Trump and win the general election. Nicki Haley can't get conservative voters. She's the darling of the never trumpers. While in New Hampshire, Nikki Haley said of the primary process, quote, Iowa starts at New Hampshire corrects it. So she responded to criticism about that comment during CNN's town hall in Iowa. We're going to continue to be here. I mean, I've told people get used to this face, and I've been here over and over again. But if I didn't love Iowa, I wouldn't keep coming to Iowa. While they did take jabs at each other, Haley and Desantas also focused their attacks on front runner Donald Trump, and next week will be a busy one for Trump. Bloomberg's Nancy Lyons reports Donald Trump has two major court hearings next week. One of them is in Washington on his claim of immunity from charges he overturned the twenty twenty election that's set for January ninth, Then two days later, planning to attend the closing arguments in Manhattan that's for the New York civil trial against him and his sprawling real estate company. Days after that, the nominating process begins with the January fifteenth Iowa CAUCUSUS. Then a day after that, a civil defamation case against Trump begins in New York in which Ejing Carroll is seeking to million dollars in damages. It's unknown if Trump will be attending that trial in Washington. Nancy lyons Bloomberg Radio Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morris, and this is Bloomberg Karen. All right, Amy, thanks soby to bring in news throughout the day right here on Bloomberg Radio. But now, as Amy said, you can get the latest news on demand whenever you want it. Subscribe to Bloomberg News Now. You can get the latest headlines right at the click of a button. Get informed on your schedule. You can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app Bloomberg dot Com, but also apples, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports update. Here's John stash Hour John Karn. What a game in San Francisco, battle of the last two NBA champions. The Warriors had an eighteen point lead on the fourth quarter on the Nuggets, and then Denver closed the game on a twenty five to four run and he won at one thirty to one twenty seven thanks to Kolo Jokins thirty four points, ten assists, nine rebounds. He hit the game tying shot and then after a Steph Curry turnover, he hit the game winner, a forty footer that he banked in at the buzzer. Milwaukee won at San Antonio won twenty five to one twenty one. This was the first time that Jannis, sent to the Compo won against the guy that many field plays like, Giannis Victor Wembinama. Yanna scored forty four points. Wem bin Yama scored twenty seven. Ricky Rubio, retiring at age thirty three, twelve years and the NBA, played for four teams, most recently Cleveland, who bought out his contract. He was a professional player in Spain at the age of fourteen. Bruins lost at home to Pittsburgh six to five. Sydney Crosby wont it for the Penguin the power play goal in the third period. The Red Sox traded Chris Sale to Atlanta. He just got a two year extension with the Braves for thirty eight million dollars, despite all the injuries he's had in recent years. Week eighteen in the NFL starts tomorrow. Nine teams have Clint playoff spots. Five spots still up for drafts. Buffalo, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and Green Bay are in with Week eighteen victories. The winner tomorrow night, patried Houston, and Indianapolis is in the playoffs. Pittsburgh tomorrow needs a win and then a Buffalo loss on Sunday night. John Stashwer Bloomberg Sports from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam, the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Well. The first weekend of twenty twenty four is going to bring the East Coast the first major winter storm we've seen in quite a while, actually, so let's bring in Bloomberg beedrologist Rob Carolyn to help us get set for what's coming. What you're looking at, Rob, the first accumulating snow of the season for lots of us. It's taken a time for winter to get going, but it's going to get going now with Gangbusters Nathan storm coming out of the lower Mississippi River Valley is going to come up the along the East coast during the weekend, and it's going to bring us eisenble snowfall to many of the suburban locations around the major cities in the mid Atlantic and Northeast. This isn't a huge snowstorm for the District of Baltimore, for New York City or Boston because the ocean is still fairly warm water temperatures than in the forties. That influence is going to mean that we see Boston and New York City, and especially Washington and Baltimore mixing with and changing the rain at times. But once you get inland away from that influence to the ocean, there's going to be some sizeable snowfalls from say Frederick, Maryland, all the way on up through the suburbs north and west of New York City, and then well north and west of Boston. There could be some spots to get over ten inches of snow from this storm, no kidding. So, like you said, it's been a while since we've had a major winter storm along the East coast. I mean, or are we ready for this? I think we're ready. I mean we've had a lot of practice. Anybody over the age of fifteen has seen, you know, a number of snowstorms in their lifetime. But yeah, last winter, I think the deepest snow we saw in the Boston area was like three and a half inches in February. So I think the big problem is going to be pe will not used to driving in it because it's been over a year. The good news is it's falling on a Saturday night and a Sunday in many areas, so their traffic won't be as bad. We don't have school in session, so that'll be helpful. But people are definitely going to have to take some time, particularly in those areas where there's going to be that transition from a mixture of rain and snow to snow, because that snow will be heavier and wetter. Therefore it's more slippery, it's greasy. So those areas just north and west of Boston, New York City, Washington, and Baltimore really need to be careful when the precipitation's falling during Saturday afternoon through Sunday. Well, a lot of people who live along the Interstate ninety five quarriter know that that freeway is often right along the boundary between where rain and snow happens. I mean, if this system sticks around for a little bit longer than expected, could we be in for a pretty dicey Monday morning commute. I think Monday morning is going to be okay, particularly in the district in Baltimore, because it dries out Sunday afternoon, So I think the roadways are going to be okay. York City Boston different story. Those areas where they don't get a chance to clean up the slush along the I ninety five corridor. Temperatures are going to be going down Sunday night, and that's going to have the tendency allow those surfaces to refree. So it could be a little bit more dicey New York City on up in the Boston Monday than it is around the district in Baltimore since it is on the weekend. We think in good skiing, well, you know, the ski areas in northern New England and northern New York State really aren't going to see much from this storm. At all too far out to see. It'll be cold enough so they can make some snow. Where this is going to help out is the resorts in West Virginia and on up into Pennsylvania. They'll do fairly well. The Poconos are going to do great. This is going to be their best snowfall in a while, and they'll have real good conditions come Monday and Tuesday in the Poconos. But for northern New England northern New York State, I think the snowfall amounts are probably going to be under two inches. Well anyway, I guess this couldn't have come in a better time, happening on the weekend. But thanks for this, Rob. Again, that was Bloomberg meteorologist Rob Carolyn getting us ready for the first winter storm for the East Coast of twenty twenty four. Well, let's move on from watching the weather to watching the data. Investors have their eyes out for the last look at the US labor market in twenty twenty three with the December non farm payrolls report. Do out an eight thirty am Wall Street time here to get a set for those numbers. Simon French, chief economist at panmir Gordon Simon. Great to speak with you this morning. Now, the consensus on the Bloomberg terminal, it calls for more moderation, one hundred and seventy five thousand new jobs expected, a tick up for the unemployment rate to three point eight percent. What's your expectation, I think a little bit stronger. Good morning, Nathan. I think the big question for me is US labor market participation appeared to peak during the summer and come back down, but there's conflicting data points as to whether that labor supply pictures is true. And if we start a season more people coming back into the labor market, I think there's potential to still add more jobs than than that estimate. Yes, I think the big influence though for futures on interest rate expectations will be the unemployment rate rather than the number of jobs added, and that I think when you're looking at the kind of rules of thumb we sort of saw the Federal Reserve and moved to in their recent minutes, anything three point eight three point nine will start to firm expectations of the rate cutting cycle this side of the mid year. There's been a lot of talk about four percent potentially being the trigger point for the Federal Reserve to think about cutting interest rates further. Could we see an upside surprise? What's the potential for that? Well, I think four percent is being focused in on by a lot of analysts because of the Palm rule. This is the if you like, the equivalent in the labor market for what we know in the bondom market from a Yeald curb and version is a decent signal of a recession. The Psalm rule looking at er point five five percent increase on the twelve month low point for unemployment, and that would something like four percent would take you there, But you have to get there on a three month average, and we're not going to get that even if we get that print today. But what it would do is it would suggest that by February, the time of the February report, you potentially hit that farm or threshold, which could prepare the ground for rate cutting cycling Q two. So that is why I think analysts are focusing on four percent. Of course, we're going to be keeping an eye out for average hourly earnings as well. Labor force participation feeds into that as well. Where do you see wages going If we find evidence that companies are holding on to employees, or perhaps more people are coming off the sidelines. Yeah, so I think there's I think one of the failures actually of the economics profession in the last couple of years, it's been an inability to recognize that nominal pay awards take their queue from overall price inflation, and therefore I think the helpful price dynamics from gasoline prices, from overall prices coming down in the US economy or the rate of increase coming down, should ever a spillover effect into nominal wage awards. I think there's an over focus, perhaps two model driven from the way central banks model this stuff to look purely at participation in capacity rather than the signals coming from the overall price level. So I actually expect a continued moderation in nominal pay awards with the quits rate and job openings falling as well. What does that tell us, Simon about the state of the US economy. Are you still thinking that we could be in for a soft landing given where labor dynamics are right now? Nathan, I think you know I'm not a fan particularly of the soft landing hard landing descriptor, mainly because lists. Economists, they tend to define it that they see fits reverse fit their narrative. But if you're looking at a moderation of those jolt data points on quits on hires from some very very extreme levels and a moderation without overshooting, then actually that's the message we got from the Joltz data I felt, which is you are starting to hone in on more normalized levels of labor market churn, and that has to be a positive thing, whether it's a soft landing or hard landing in terms of the hard data of economic activity pass but on those metrics, it's quite encouraging. From the Federal Reserve, they've been able to engineer this. We've seen a lot of activity in the options market ahead of this report, a pretty big bet that we could see ten year yields rise more than ten basis points by the end of the day. What kind of volatility are you expecting off the back of this jobs report in the bond mar So, I think that's that would be my whether it's an hourly end of day expectation, some more medium term view from my perspective is the bomb mark has got over excited by the pace of potential rate cups. In my view, I think pricing in five to six for the year when it's unlikely the first pirmacy you're going to have enough data to start cutting before the middle towards the back end of Q two, that becomes a really difficult thing to do with only four better reserve meetings in the second half of the year. So I think that expectation that you allude to of slightly firming yield is consistent with perhaps a reassessment of quite how aggressive the FED can be in the data have in front of them. Got about a minute left here, Simon. Not only is the FED going to be focused on the labor market, but we've got inflation data, more inflation data coming out next week as well. Well. What's your expectation on where we could see consumer prices headed. Well, a lot of the base effects that have been driving US inflation lower over the last twelve months, and this is simply some very exceptional numbers leaving leaving the annual comparison. That does mean we're in for a period where the data is going to bounce around in a sort of stubborn stubborn range around three percent. And the question, I guess the Federal Reserve need to ask themselves not all just based on the data, but their understanding of how price setting is going on at district level as well. Is the degree to which that can over an eighteen month two year of you moderate back towards two percent of their central forecast suggest But actually the real economy is not necessarily showing those signs. So I think we're in for a period where month to month will dot around very uncomfortably higher levels than the two percent targets, and is consistently all be seeing in terms of commodity imple prices shipping rates providing less of a down with base effect push than the single last one month. This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast feed at six am Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus. Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app, SERIUSXM, the iHeartRadio app, and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg DaybreakSee

The controversy about what happened after Dennis and Charlie Kirk gave speeches at Arizona State Univ. has not died down. Dennis is speaking to the Arizona legislature about it tomorrow… Lonely men are having relationships with AI girlfriends. It only costs $20 a month… Bad forest management, not global warming, is causing problems in Canada and the US East Coast.  Dennis talks to Chris Rufo, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. His new book is America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything.  Dennis is joined by Julie Hartman… The CDC no longer refers to mothers but to people who have children.
