New flu has RBD mutation , Hacked Emails Show Climate Science Ridden with Rancor , Chavez and Uribe at each other's throats again, Gold approaches PM's Jan 2010 target , Solzhenitsyn approves.
LAST WEEK IN MAYHEM
abbreviated column this week. your columnist has to eat!
Geopolitics:
1) New flu has critical new mutation ; latest CFR estimate is approx 0.2% for new strain ; now endemic worldwide

Well well turns out TWIM was correct once again. Cutting through the lies and spin of big business and intelligence networks for 13 weeks in a row! The flu spreading in Eastern Europe has indeed mutated, as predicted! There are critical changes to the Receptor Binding Domain, on an important influenza surface protein -- despite the 'nothing to see here' claims of the WHO. The new genetic changes give the flu a much higher affinity for the lungs (and higher morbidity). No , the flu is not a 'hoax' , although the vaccination campaign is somewhat of a corrupt fiasco, a mechanism to funnel billions in Uncle Sugar's money to Big Pharma. As for the flu, yeah it's mutating, yeah it's accelerating towards higher virulence. Ala 1918. This particular RBD change was seen previously in 1918, and is likely the explanation for the fatal cases. Make no doubt the virulence will arrive sooner or later worldwide, whether in a month or in a year. Luckily the old strain may provide partial immunity to the new one. More good news -- I have revised my CFR estimate downwards to 0.2% based on discharges from Ukrainian hospitals. Still lethal , but nothing we can't handle! So far anyway. Take your organic vitamins and turn off your TVs worker drones!! H1N1 is for squid!!

2) Hacked Emails Show Climate Science Ridden with Rancor ; Copenhagen 'climate summit' idiocy approaches
[global warming hoax]
I don't know how many of you believe in global warming, but I sure as hell don't -- you know, with global surface temperatures dropping since 1998 and all. Of course, that won't stop Goldman Squid and their tentacles in the international bank fronts such as the Council on Foreign Relations / Chicago Climate Exchange from attempting to implement the plan written about in Club of Rome publication The First Global Revolution. Namely, using global warming as a pretext for massive social change -- including most prominantly new taxes and the erosion of national sovereignty.
But thanks to some wiley computer hackers -- we can see all the hillarious backbiting and pseudoscientific agenda firsthand! Hurray for Wikileaks!
"The picture that emerges of prominent climate-change scientists from the more than 3,000 documents and emails accessed by hackers and put on the Internet this week is one of professional backbiting and questionable scientific practices. It could undermine the idea that the science of man-made global warming is entirely settled just weeks before a crucial climate-change summit."

3) Colombian military 'on maximum alert' : Uribe's forces Staying up all night on cocaine bender

Looks like Uribe sent off for the Bolivian Marching Powder to keep his forces a'tweakin'. As reported a few weeks ago, tensions are increasing upon the Columbian-Venezuelan border -- but this is probably just prep for a massive regional war set sometime in the future. We keep seeing those Southern hemisphere policy papers coming out of the think tanks at a steady clip! Even with a change of 'administration'. God knows DARPA wants to get its Predator drones flying in South America for a nice regional conflagration. But hell, that might be 3-5 years away, so don't hold your breath Uribe!!

COLOMBIA warned overnight that its forces were on "maximum alert'' and were prepared to defend against any attack, amid rising tensions with neighbouring Venezuela.
Economic:
1) Gold is flying.

Looks like my target for $1200 by Jan 1st 2010 will be hit properly! Perhaps this has something to do with the fiasco identified by Rob Kirby in the international gold market, regarding ETF lists and fraudulent tungsten-filled bars. A new gold research paper is coming from me. Stay tuned to Zero Hedge!

3) PM might be starting a subscription newsletter!!! ZOMG
Yeah okay this is a trial balloon! Email project.mayhem.research [at] gmail if interested. I'd rather write full-time. Newsletter will be cheap (<$10/month). I have to pay for my cardboard box under a bridge near the US capital somehow! I might also just start making two versions of the research papers , the free public version and a in-depth subscription version.
[gulag]
In any case , I leave you with a quote from the great Russian moralist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn , a quote that has always stuck with me:
* If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
o The Gulag Archipelago (1973)
Have a great week!

does anybody know what the genetic makeup of the sars virus was. could it have been a precurser. anything else about the ukrainian planes, piloted by americans, that were forced to land, after aerial spraying? no spanish flu since WW1, then scientists re-animate virus from frozen woman, now we have a pandemic, with similar symptoms? coincidence i guess. welcome to the petri dish fellow guinea pigs.

Things are heating up on the Arabian pennisula as Iran and Saudi Arabia are escalating a proxy war in Yemen.
Link: http://www.irna.ir/En/View/FullStory/?NewsId=806892&IdLanguage=3
This has been one of my favorite unreported stories for some time. In this country's incessant self centeredness we completely miss that the real war in the middle east is (and has been for some time) Saudi v. Iran. The postures and motivations of many players in the region are more palpable when looked at through that lens.
The war between Saudi Arabia and Iran is the reason we went into Iraq, IMO. I believe the United States provides an umbrella of protection via the military in exchange for oil pegged to the dollar.
Israel (or, if you like, the global Zionist conspiracy) will take care of Iran.
well I do believe that CO2 does have potential to cause the global warming. However, I am not sure about the degree we contribute into the global warming right now or if the CO2 we release is the major driving factor. And I don't believe that the change if any is irreversible. The CO2 does not come out of space nor it is created out of nothing. In the past it was transferred through the natural process from one state of being in the atmosphere into being stored in the oceans, carbon fuesls, etc. So nothing should keep us given will and need (questionable) from transferring CO2 out of athmosphere or just recycling it.
Hovewer the falsification of the research by any side of the GW debate is simply fucking outrageous.
My conclusions based on a critical evaluation of all available data:
Pandemic flu: bullshit
Global warming: It happens. So does global cooling. Get over it. Banks will make billions on the "crisis".
South American war: It will make TV news interesting again. Bring it on.
Gold: Paper gold is useless. So is gold in your mattress or buried in the yard. It makes good jewelry and dental fillings though.
Newsletter: Everybody needs a job and a hobby. Go for it and you may even move up from the box.
flash --->Nov. 23, 2009 - H1N1 mutation in Norway has scientific community in disarray
update
Murder flu cancelled? Global warming cancelled? Is Dancing with the Stars still on?
*re-post* (in case you missed it)
I would welcome your input on this PM...
and I welcome any anon to challenge it...
IF Global warming is a reality here are the likely causes based on my research (In order of probability IMO):
A) ALL of the below.
B) Hawkings' Radiation (still hypothetical, but could also be called the Higgs Boson aka. The God Particle. The EU has spent 10$Bn Euros to build CERN, which is designed specifically to find this particle. FERMI-lab is the American counterpart, looking for the same particle.) emanating from the Super Massive Spinning Black Hole that resides at the center of our galaxy. Think of the Earth, where is it hottest? The equator. Why? 2012 represents the time when the earth will be exactly in the center of the galactic equator (paper thin by galactic standards, but it will take us about 4 years to pass through the equator, entering in 2010, exiting in 2014 (incidentally; ALL NASA space flights have been canceled for the years 2010-2014 ( they say it's for retrofitting, but I think that's bullshit))). Think of it like this. As the earth spins round and round, it rotates around the sun, our solar system also revolves around the center of the galaxy, but it also oscillates above and below the galactic equator. As of 2015 my opinion is that we will be heading more to the next ice age than a desert Earth.
C) Magnetic Field decay. The Earths magnetic field protects us from the harshest radiation of the sun, and has been decaying faster than the US$ in the last 20 years (joke, but you get the point). It is hypothesized that this dispersion of the magnetic field is also the cause of mass migration disruption of birds, whales, bees, etc., however no concrete evidence is yet available... I wonder why... The magnetic field decay could also be the result of (B), further magnifying the effects of (B).
D) The Sun is actually getting hotter. I realize this is disputed by most of the academic scientific community, but most of them are tools, much like economists. We wouldn't want people knowing the truth, their heads might explode ( especially if one were to consider the implications of a warming Sun ).
E) Natural green-house gasses + domesticated livestock green house gases + human generated green house gases. Considering the magnitude of the other options, this is the smallest contributor to the issue of global warming. Is it still part of the problem? Sure, but it is my assertion that if ALL factories were to shut down, ALL livestock were to be terminated, and ALL cars destroyed, there is still the issue of all the naturally occurring gases and global warming would still continue until 2015.
Higgs particle is related to explanation of mass, not temperature; and hence has no connection with GW even if global warming AND Higgs particle really happen/exist
sorry to burst your bubble, but that happens every years since; well the formation of the Solar System.
that has nothing to do with anything, except that period marks the peak of Suns activity; and the subsequent radiation degree WILL damage any and all electrical systems (which all space ships have)
nice; but no; the angle of the earths axis will not be the angle in which there will be cooling of the Earth on a massive scale and it is unknown how will the global temperature behave given that the models for predicting so are not in any way or form "discrete" because they are built upon mathematics which is by itself not a deterministic mathematics and relies heavily on the 0-condition[s]. Think meteorology.
That happens whenever the Sun ramps up its activity, and it is nothing new; and the field does not decay, it simply shifts; and cause no major problems, unless your compass is the necessity which you need in order to survive.
there is a natural hedge against greenhouse gases; its called photosynthesis and it provides the planet with air; which you need in order to survive; the only problem is that there is not enough natural hedges(plants) to offset the potentially harmful CO2 and other gases; but there are oceans which make up for it.
Sorry to burst both your bubbles, but it looks like paradigm shifts might happen in various fields, theoretical physics not excluded.
http://www.holoscience.com/
I'll give you a hint, it involves electricity..the implications are pretty sweet too.
Well every 2150 years is considered an AGE in astrology which is simply ancient astronomy with causation added. 12 ages make up about 5 mayan epochs which are 5125.6 years. How you get 5 mapped from linear to sine wave I have no idea. 12 ages would be a starting and ending and supposedly our solar system making one lap around the galactic core. If 5125.6 years is one complete sine cycle than we go up and down through 5 sign cycles every lap with 5 major conciousness changes for every complete conciousness change.
And it appears that bullshit is very capable of surviving dozens of these things. Because the powers that be were promising the mayans that they would drag the snake out of the sky 6000 years ago and then promising the christians that they would drag the dragon from the sky 2000 years ago. So it's becoming apparent that promise isn't going to be kept and we enter this world by jumping through a well like waterfall thingy. So the perpertrators of the fraud are the creators of the well and are simply investigating how able we are to figure out thier bullshit when we come here and apply world structural reality to heavenly structural reality. All the mind wiping and previous life forgetting is likely a ploy to achieve the proper manipulation balance to get us to trust that which we shouldnt trust and make a lie universal enough that it's not questioned by the masses. Which makes me one massive suscpious fuck up of theirs. I guess I'll be getting new CIA handlers, I mean guides. But it validates ancient mythology. We live by pain and chiron is supposedly the healer but he never is able to heal completely because our guides are better at hurting us than we are at hurting them and seem to have the power to make us relive our wounds at various intensity levels trying to focus us to believe that we have some power over it or ability to put an end to it. When it's simply cruelty trying to justify it's existence.
"Higgs particle is related to explanation of mass, not temperature; and hence has no connection with GW even if global warming AND Higgs particle really happen/exist"
My hypothesis is that the Higgs boson (aka God particle) and Hawking's radiation are the same thing. While you are correct that it has to do with mass, that does not mean energy is not produced/emitted in creation of the particle. What is heat, other than radiation? When CERN slams 2 particles together at 99.99999% the speed of light, are you asserting that no heat/radiation is created?
"sorry to burst your bubble, but that happens every years since; well the formation of the Solar System."
No bubble to burst here, we are discussing theoretical physics after all, which is why I welcomed any input. However it is not true that every year we are at the galactic equator. What is true is that every year the Earth, the Sun and the Galactic Center are aligned, but this can occur without our solar system being at the galactic equator.
"that has nothing to do with anything, except that period marks the peak of Suns activity; and the subsequent radiation degree WILL damage any and all electrical systems (which all space ships have)"
I believe ALL satellites have them as well...
"That happens whenever the Sun ramps up its activity, and it is nothing new; and the field does not decay, it simply shifts; and cause no major problems, unless your compass is the necessity which you need in order to survive."
While I agree that the magnetic field is in constant flux, and this is all "normal", there is mounting evidence what we are experiencing IS secular. And that solar maximus in 2012 could be a very real and unprecedented (at least to humans) event.

Think meteorology."
I am asserting that it isn't the angle of the earths axis which causes an Ice Age, nor the ocean currents, at least not alone, but in conjunction with the Earths distance from the galactic equator. I realize I am an outlier in this opinion, but so was Alfred Wegener up to and beyond his death while trying to find proof of his theory. I'm not saying that I am the next Alfred Wegener, I am saying that scientific "fact" is only true until it is proven wrong.

"Higgs boson (aka God particle) and Hawking's radiation are the same thing"
You just made that up! Do you know anything about either of these two phenomena? Physics isn't like painting, you can't just take "colours" (physics) and paint any picture with them that you like. They are NOT the same thing.
You left out that I said that it is my hypothesis, you do know what that means right? Sorry, I've studied physics for most of my adult life, I have verified with experts, far more advanced than I, that indeed this is a possibility, but until either/both are discovered, even their existence is merely a hypothesis and it's all conjecture... If you don't think they are the same then don't, but there's no need to start crying about it like a baby. I know for a fact you have no proof that they are not the same thing, because neither has been discovered, therefore it is impossible for you to have proof of your statement....buuuuut just for fun....
Why don't you PROVE that it is impossible for the Higgs Boson and Hawkings radiation to be the same thing... please...
Read in recent issue of the Economist that Venezuela gets 60% of its power from one hydroelectric facility. Countries that can lose 60% of their grid from one bomb hit don't start wars, especially not against countries that have high tech US weapons. This South America situation is nothing but talk.
the above assumption depends on a notion that leaders of opposite sides are rational. And when the outcome is not absolutely clear (aka end of human race), do not always expect them to make intelligent decisions.

a couple of months ago you "staked your reputation" that there would be a substantial market correction before year's end...you have five weeks...
FWIW, I still expect that to happen, and in time to influence December '09 Crimex deliveries. Someone is short a crapload of gold and "needs" a price break. I don't expect any correction, if it happens, to be a major one or a long lasting one, and I am still buying.
