SPX vs Galactic Cosmic Rays
Galactic cosmic rays are the most energetic of particles found in space. The most prevalent are high-energy protons, but as with particles from the Sun, there are also much heavier ions, ranging from the nuclei of helium atoms (atomic weight four, or four times the weight of a proton) to the relatively abundant ions of iron (weight 56). And they travel outward at speeds that can considerably exceed most particles of solar origin. The reason for the great energies and high speeds of cosmic rays, and why they include heavy ions such as iron, nickel and zinc, is that they are propelled outward from cataclysms far more violent than any large solar flare. The source of most cosmic rays is thought to be explosions of entire stars (supernovae). The solar cycle is an approximately 11-year period of varying solar activity including solar maximum where the solar wind is strongest and solar minimum where the solar wind is weakest. Galactic cosmic rays create a continuous radiation dose throughout the Solar System that increases during solar minimum and decreases during solar maximum. Because cosmic rays are electrically charged they are deflected by magnetic fields, and their directions have been randomized, making it impossible to tell where they originated. However, cosmic rays in other regions of the Galaxy can be traced by the electromagnetic radiation they produce. Supernova remnants such as the Crab Nebula are known to be a source of cosmic rays. In addition, most cosmic rays are confined to the disk of the Galaxy, presumably by its magnetic field. More HERE

Climax of the Fourth Astro-Kondratiev Cycle | URA-PLU Squares 1787 - 2052
Christof Niederwieser (2015) - One of the most discussed prognosis models of modern futures studies is the Kondratiev Cycle. It postulates a regular pattern of upswings and downswings in the economy, ranging over 50 to 60 years. This cycle is based on collective paradigm shifts, caused by the emergence of new technologies that revolutionize both the economy and society at large.
[...] To this day the Kondratiev model has remained popular. It’s one of the very rare macroeconomic theories that allow concrete long-term forecasts. And it vividly explains the major growth drivers of the last 200 years. There are different opinions about details like the exact time when the cycles start or end or the exact names of the leitmotifs. But many researchers agree that there is something behind these cycles. Nevertheless there are some critical points, especially methodological ones.
Thus, there is still controversy as to whether or not the wave pattern really shows up in empirical data. Statistics from different decades and countries are not directly comparable. They have to be smoothed out first. Methods of data aggregation change over the years. Different countries use different formulas to calculate indicators. The definition of industry sectors and market baskets are modified in the course of time. Nominal data have to be adjusted according to inflation rate or currency changes. The methods of data processing thereby significantly determine the final shape of the curve. And depending on the method used, the Kondratiev Wave may or may not be revealed.
Kondratiev’s followers elegantly evade this problem. When presenting a graphical chart of the cycle, they usually put the decades on the x-axis. But the y-axis remains unlabelled. Carlota Perez, Professor of Technology and Socio-economic Development, is one of the most renowned contemporary Kondratiev experts. She admits that “Indeed, the Long Waves actually cannot be verified at the macro-economic level. But if we look at the level of innovations and also include social aspects, the Long Waves are clearly visible – even if these changes don’t necessarily reflect in macro-economic data like the GDP or large waves overlap.”
[...] let’s scan astrology for a long wave planetary cycle that indicates the following pattern: new core technologies trigger a radical transformation of the economy and society, a revolution of power systems and thinking models, a profound collective paradigm shift. This pattern is typical for the Uranus-Pluto Cycle: New ideas and technical innovations (Uranus) disrupt established power systems and ideologies (Pluto) and become the new leitmotif for the masses (Pluto).
[...] The Astro-Kondratiev not only explains the major technical and social developments of the past centuries. It also allows for a concrete look into the future. What will come next after the Information Cycle has reached its climax? What socio-political implications can be expected in the forthcoming years? What current technical innovations might become the core technology of the Fifth Astro-Kondratiev that will start in the 2040s? In what larger pattern is the Astro-Kondratiev embedded and how can its morphology be described in more detail? These questions are highly significant for areas such as politics, corporate governance, strategic planning, innovation management and investments.

The Skyscraper Indicator 1790 - 2015 │ Elliott Wave International
This
market sentiment indicator has a reliable history that goes back nearly 200
years!
It's sending a signal today that's as clear as it's ever been. Source: Elliott Wave International (Feb 27, 2017) |
Cycles analyst Edward Dewey (1895-1978) was the chief economics analyst for the US Department of Commerce when he developed the "Skyscraper Indicator" in the 1940s: It correlates human optimism to the number of high-rise buildings under construction. When people are very optimistic, they tend to express their feelings in massive construction projects, especially very tall buildings, because they have a need to build toward the sky! Since this extreme optimism is reached at major market peaks, in the economy, severe economic downturns usually follow; not just declines in real estate prices. The world’s current tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (828 m), nicely illustrates this process: It was built as a monument to the Gulf emirate’s boom in the middle years of last decade and opened in late 2009, just as the emirate plunged into financial crisis.
Experts note the 18-year financial cycle was disrupted by the First and Second World War, but returned to its former state in 2006 (HERE) |
It doesn't need a prophet to tell where the next bubbles are about to pop: Of all of the world's skyscrapers under construction, China is home to 53% of them and since 2016 China's highest buildings exceed the 'One World Trade Center' (417 m) in New York by 200 meters. The boom is on though in mid 2013 the construction of the planned 838 meter Sky City in south-central China was halted by the authorities for not having a building permission. A similar craze for high rise has gripped South Korea and India. India just finished building two skyscrapers and has 14 skyscrapers currently under construction. However, having survived the Arab Spring miraculously, it is this decrepit royal kleptocracy in Saudi Arabia that is now decorating Jeddah with a 1,007 meter high 'Kingdom Tower'. Let's have a look at what happened during recent high times in different places: The construction of the Taipei 101 (508 m) began in 1999 and was completed in 2004. The duration coincided without the recession in the early 2000s and the tech bubble while in 2010 the completion of the Burj Khalifa coincided with the current global financial crisis. The Asian economic crisis, currency devaluation and speculation in stock and property coincided in 1997-1998 with the completion of the Petronas Towers (452 m), the tallest buildings in the world at the time. Now the 18-Year Real Estate Cycle will again be due to peak and pop around 2016 (+/-). See also HERE

Genetics are the New Eugenics │ F. William Engdahl
F. William Engdahl (Feb 22, 2017) - Last year, we had a series of mergers
in the agribusiness’ GMO-corporations worldwide. This has created an alarming
concentration of corporate power in the hands of basically three corporate
groups. The first one is Bayer AG of Germany,
which made a friendly takeover of Monsanto. The reason for this was that
Monsanto became identified in the public mind as pure evil and everything bad
about GMO’s, which was accurate. This became a burden on the whole GMO project.
So, Bayer stepped in, which has a friendly image of an aspirin, harmless, nice
company, but in fact is the company that invented heroin in the 1880’s and made
gas for the ovens of Auschwitz during WWII. It's one of the dirtiest
agribusiness companies in the world with a series of homicides and pesticides
that killed off bee colonies and many other things that are essential to life
and to nature. ChemChina - China State Chemical giant
- for some reason took over Swiss Syngenta, which makes weed-killers. Then, Dow Chemicals and DuPont merged
their GMO businesses together. So, we have three gigantic corporate
groups worldwide controlling the genetically-modified part of the human food
chain. As dangerous as the GMO crops are and the more they sell, it is becoming
more and more obvious that they are the chemicals that by contract must be
applied to those GMO seeds by the corporations. They demand that if you buy
roundup ready soybeans or corn, you must use Monsanto (now Bayer) roundup.
Therefore, this is giving more corporate power to the GMO industry than ever before and that’s an alarming trend. They are putting pressure on the bureaucracy in Brussels. One example: there was a massive public campaign against the renewal of the license of the European Commission for Glyphosate. Glyphosate is the most widely used weed-killer in the world. Glyphosate is the main ingredient in Monsanto’s roundup. The other ingredients are Monsanto’s corporate secret, but the combination of them is one of the most deadly weed-killers. The World Health Organization’s body responsible for assessing genetic dangers made a ruling the last year that Glyphosate was a probable cancer-causing agent. The license came up for automatic renewal last year – a 15-year license. The EU commission for health was prepared to automatically renew it for 15 years. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which is responsible allegedly for the health and safety of European citizens, recommended approval based on a German study by the German Food Safety Agency that was simply lifted 100% from studies given by the private corporation Monsanto! So, the whole chain was corrupt from the beginning and all the information was rigged. In reality tests have shown that in minuscule concentrations, lower than in recommended levels in Europe and in the US, Glyphosate causes kidney disease, liver disease, and other illnesses that are potentially fatal. Now, Glyphosate has shown up in urine tests, in urban drinking water, in gardens, in ground water and so forth. And that gets into the system of childbearing women, for example, with embryo. It’s all in this!

It’s all in this!
The EU commission, despite a million
petitions – this is a record setting - and despite recommendations from leading
scientists around the world to not renew the license, made a compromise under
huge industry pressure and renewed it for 18 months. Why did they renew it for
that time? Because at the end of 18 months, they were told by Bayer and
Monsanto that the takeover of those two giant corporations will be completed
and Bayer is going to replace Glyphosate with another, likely more deadly
toxin, but not so well-known as Glyphosate. So, they simply bought time. And
that is just one example. This agenda of GMO is not about the
health and safety; it’s not about increasing crop yields - that’s a lie that
has been proven in repeated tests in North America and all around the world.
Crop yields for farmers, using GMO plants, may increase slightly for the first
1-2 harvest years, but ultimately decline after 3-4 years. And not only that!
We’ve been promised by Monsanto and other GMO giants that the use of chemicals
will be less, because of these “wonderful” traits that GMO plants resist. In
fact, the weeds become resistant and you have super weeds, which are 5-6 feet
in a height and choke out everything. It’s a catastrophe. So, farmers end up
using added weed killers to kill the super weeds. This whole mad playing around
with the genetic makeup of nature is a disaster from the beginning. The real agenda of GMO, which I have
documented in great detail in my book “Seeds
of Destruction”, comes from the Rockefeller Foundation. It comes out of the
1920s-1930s Eugenics movement. The Rockefeller Foundation during the 1930’s,
right up to the outbreak of World War II when it became politically embracing
too, financed the Nazi Eugenics experiments of Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in
Berlin and in Munich. Why did they do this? Their goal was the elimination of
what they called “undesirable eaters”. That is called population reduction.
After the war, the head of the American Eugenic Society, who was a good friend of John D. Rockefeller, at the annual conference of the American Eugenic Society said: “From today, the new name of eugenics is genetics”. Moreover, if you keep that in mind – genetic engineering, the Human Genome Project and so forth – they all are scientific frauds. Russian scientists have proven that the entire Genome Project utterly disregarded 98% of the scientifically valuable data in favor of 2% that was completely nonsense and a waste of billions of dollars. Therefore, they have been obsessed with the idea of how to reduce human population in a way that would not be so obvious as simply going out and carrying out mass-sterilization. Actually, they have done that in Central America together with the World Health Organization by giving certain vaccines that they cooked-up to have abortive effects. Therefore, the women of child-bearing age in Central America were given these vaccines against tetanus. The organization of the Catholic Church became suspicious because the shots were given only to women, not to men. And they found that there was buried in the vaccine an abortive effect that made it impossible for women to conceive and bear children. This is all covert population reduction. These are the Western patriarchs who believe they are the gods, sitting on the throne with great dignity, controlling mankind. I think they are a bunch of fools, but they have this agenda of genetic manipulation. It’s against nature, it’s chemically unstable. And I have to congratulate the Russian Federation that they had the courage and the moral concern for their own population to ban GMO cultivation across Russia. That was a step forward for mankind. I would hope that Russia will use its influence to get China to do the similar thing, because their agriculture is in dire need of some healthy Russian input. But this step by Russia to make a GMO-free agriculture is a great step for mankind.

Droughts and Floods vs Jupiter-Saturn Cycle and Lunar Declination Cycle
Kevin Long (Jul 7, 2011) - Planetary and lunar cycles play an important part in shaping the climate, and also Australia’s flood and drought cycles are influenced by these forces. The Central Victorian rainfall records reveal that the 18.6 year lunar declination cycle and the 19.86 year synodic cycle of Jupiter-Saturn can each enhance or diminish average rainfall over prolonged periods resulting in extreme flood and extreme drought cycles. When these two cycles are closely in-phase with each other and are supported by the El Nino or the La Nina cycle, extreme droughts and extreme floods are likely to occur. This was the case during the early months of 2011 and enhanced by a very strong La Nina cycle during the preceding 9 months. Another major drought period is scheduled to occur around the middle of this lunar cycle (2020).
The above graph shows the long-term rainfall record for Bendigo in Central Victoria, Australia. The Central Victorian climate is particularly sensitive to any changes in average air movements (air tides). This is due to the generally flat terrain of the area, which means the effects of the cosmic cycles are more prominent than in most other places in the world. This can be seen to occur with about 80% reliability during the last 66 years. The dominating effects are most obvious when a four-year rolling average line is used (thick line). The spacing of the recent droughts to flood periods appears to closely follow the “9.3 year rule” (i.e. half of the 18.6 year moon cycle). Peaks and troughs relative to the Bendigo’s long-term average of 544 mm are:
1944 Severe drought (284 mm)
1954-56 Typical three years of major floods (average 737 mm)
1967 Severe drought (278 mm)
1973-75 Wettest ever three year flood period (average 861 mm).
1982 Driest year on record (206mm)
1992-93 Two years of flood period (averaging 729 mm per year
2002 After 9 years of declining average rainfall, 2002 delivered only 271mm
2010 Eleven consecutive months of above-average rainfall set a new Bendigo record of 1061 mm.
