Five Toes Kick Ass
Posted by Peter_Novak at 11:25, 12 Jun 2006Folks here should probably be aware that an ongoing experiment in prediction is taking place over at Urban Survival (http://urbansurvival.com/week.htm ) that is proving to be quite the success.
Very briefly, they have designed a computer program that takes huge samples of internet chatter and mines it for anomalous occurrences of words and phrases. The idea is that while human beings do not consciously know the future, our collective unconscious does, and will talk about that future, thru us, in our daily conversations and communications.
Anyway, they have made what seems to have been quite a few correct predictions, and may be, as I write, in the middle of their biggest success yet. The "web-bot" project has predicted that this summer would witness the occurrece of a sequence of five major earthquakes, occurring in a particular pattern. There would be four fairly large earthquakes and then the last would be a monster one.
The first earthquake would occur all by itself, and then a moderately short period of time would pas before three more earthquakes would occur in rapid succession, followed by about the same amount of time that separated the first and second earthquake before the last one hit.
The last one is supposed to be huge, and occur in the Pacific Northwest, and result in travel restrictions and marketplace shortages in America.
It seems that the third earthquake in the sequence may have just hit this weekend. The first earthquake seems to have been the 6.3 magnitude Indonesia quake of May 27, the second was the 6.1 magnitude Figi quake that arrived 13 days later on June 9, and the third would be the 6.3 magnitude Japan quake of June 11. If so, then another quake of around 6 magnitude or so should occur within just the next few days (around June 13th?), and the big one should arrive around 13 days after that, on or around June 26th.
Can you imagine the hoopla that would occur if this prediction actually pans out?

I am so glad I can vent about urban survival today.George over at Urban Survival has put together an interesting site. I go to it at least 2 times a day, once to read his monologue, and the second time for metals end of day New York(no pop-ups) Now don't get me wrong I like this site but with a grain of salt. Like so many web sites it has been calling for the end of the world in one form or anouther since its inception, and I'm done with the end of the world. When it happens there will be a large fan and alot of shit involved or a large red blinking button. More about the end of the world and the time machine in a moment. Everyday there is an interesting quick paragraph or two about markets; stocks, metals, commodities, fait money. Mostly George is wrong. Wrong way George. He has been on spot with metals. But George lost 20,000$ in stock options a good time ago and has not figured out why yet. And he's still mad about it. I worked for 8 years on the options trading floor in Chicago during the 80's.( And I had the 87 crash down to a week. Took a vacation.) Options don't work like any other animal. Its imaginary made up money, about the future.And you can lose money every day no matter if the underlying stock goes up or down. So don't listen to George so much when it come to stock stuff. If you'd listened to him it would have crashed or should of every month for the last 2+ years. And then he always has a reason it didn't or just gets you set up for the next " look out" George has anouther financial site for 30$ a year, don't. Use the 30$ to buy silver at 11$ an oz. George also has a book called "How to Live on 10,000$ a Year" for 10$. Don't , on a whim I bought it. I was also suppose to get a free 1 month subscription to his financal insight site too, so it didn't seem like to much. I never got the subscription. And I did remind him more then once with no reply. The book has great cost cutting tips like, don't eat out, it costs alot. Beer costs money. Get rid of your car, why not a roomate, craigslist, ground breaking stuff. Wow I could write a book too!
Ok now my take about the Web Bot project. About 2 years ago it was 30$ to subscribe for the year, and there were always delays, and I had to remind them at halfpasthuman.com that I'd paid for the year. And they were good for it. And in some weird way this stuff does make sense, really! But it is also a bit garbled at times. The language is sometimes Nostradamas like. And sometimes there are delays for events to happen? Because they're seeing too far in the future? Well now it is 200$ maybe more a pop about every 3 months to subscribe to this Web Bot experiment. To rich for me.
But a west coast earthquake would effect me. I live in Portland and the web bots seem to indicate that maybe we're all going to get our asses kicked here, but then again...And part of me is dieing for any info about earthquake activity. But 200$ no! And the fluctuations about if this is earthquake 1, 2, or 3 of 5 is painfull. Subscribe now its the end of the world again. And Allstate insurance will not be there for me or anyone else. Maybe they spent 200$ on the subscription. Sometimes it seems scamish, and I don't think it really is a scam. There is maybe something they have stumbled across. But I know someday there will be a earthquake here, and I could use the 200$ for survival supplies.
P.S I believe the market will tank in the early fall. I'v put all my money into overseas markets, gold and starbucks stock(cause I live and work in one).But then again I'm not there on the trading floor everyday as in the 80's I may be off.

For reliable info about earthquakes (not predictions, just current and past data), look at the USGS site. There must be a japanese site like this too.
