Regarding bottled water, the total mass concentration of microplastics, as well as the mass concentrations of PE, PVC, PP, and PA66, in the stools of participants in the intake group were higher than those in the nonintake group (86.1 vs. 19.9, χ2 = 3.138, P < 0.05; 5.5 vs. 0.8, χ2 = 2.104, P < 0.05; 37.5 vs. 11.0, χ2 = 3.469, P < 0.05; 32.6 vs. 3.4, χ2 = 3.392, P < 0.05; 0.0 vs. 0.0, χ2 = 2.278, P < 0.05). For bottled beverages, the mass concentration of PP in the stools of participants in the intake group was higher than that in the stools of participants in the nonintake group (21.0 vs. 4.5, χ2 = 1.997, P < 0.05) (Tables S10–2).
The results showed that city of residence, reheated food consumption, and bottled water intake were significantly associated with the total mass concentration of microplastics in the stools of participants (SE = 10.341, P < 0.05; SE = 31.687, P < 0.05; SE = 36.829, P < 0.05). However, factors such as the frequency of takeaway food consumption, total water intake, tea intake, frequency of facial cleanser use, use of body lotion, use of facial masks, wearing framed glasses, frequency of washing intimate clothing, and exposure to secondhand smoke were not significantly associated with the total mass concentration of microplastics in the stools (P > 0.05) (Table 3).

Technical analyst DeMark says his models are flagging major caution for the holiday week
By Steve Goldstein
Published: Nov. 27, 2024 at 5:32 a.m. ET

Markets have often changed their trend around holidays, and one widely followed technical analyst says that shift may happen again.

Tom DeMark, who has advised top investors including Steven A. Cohen and Paul Tudor Jones, focuses on trend exhaustion and says that markets top on good news and bottom on bad news.

In particular he focuses on a string of 9 and 13 daily or weekly moves, which don’t have to be consecutive but do have to be better than four sessions ago in the 9 model and two sessions ago in the 13 model. See DeMark’s analysis on his website Symbolik.

“Back when I started in the investment industry over 50 years ago, it was common to see both domestic and worldwide stock markets record trend changes over long weekends when trading was closed,” he says in an email to MarketWatch. While he said that hasn’t been the case in more recent years, he’s thinking of that pattern now due to how close his models are to reaching their targets.

“Although this Thursday is an American holiday and Friday trading, the day after Thanksgiving, is typically characterized as one of the most reliably low volume, up days of the year, the haunting of the long weekend unexpected trend change lurks in the background. What is particularly disconcerting is the fact that some of our most reliable stock market timing tools are about to flash major caution.”

Sometimes he's right.
Sometimes this guy is right too. https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg ... d=34930206

There aren't very many with a good batting average. The best one by far that I knew of died a few years ago. Contrary to what I've been reading lately from the trend followers, batting .250 would be good provided several dates close to the top are given and most of them are above where the trend change is identified and, importantly, entered by the trend follower. Citing an entry point will do no good if the market gaps down significantly below the entry point. Someone can say that rarely happens. The top of a multi-century bull market rarely happens either and nobody knows how it is going to play out.

I think it's worth noting that some generalists have recently thrown in the towel and are saying that the markets can be manipulated higher until some kind of catastrophe happens. That's certainly not the case in my opinion.

With the market only pulling back in corrective fashion off the recent high, the market seems to be signaling we still are not done with the upside. But, before I provide a little insight into the pattern, I want to include something in this missive which I posted in the trading room yesterday:

“You know, one of the things I always consider when I look at my positioning is if the risk is worth the potential profit. When I look at a market like this, and recognize how fast it potentially can turn down, I come to the conclusion that the risk outweighs the potential benefit for me personally, especially since I have become much more conservative in my holdings.

But, that does not mean this is the same for each and every one of you. You must make this determination yourselves. No one is the same and this determination will be different for everyone.

Now, one of the other things you must consider is where is your risk management point. You see, I am told by so many others that you have to hold on to the bull market positions and not sell to early or you will miss a nice part of the run. Well, consider that if I sell at X, and the market goes to X+300, where do you allow yourself to stop out? Many people that are greedy and do not understand the market context will likely sell out even below where I sold before the market topped . . . and I slept better at night, especially with my money earning 5%.

These are decisions you must make for yourselves. I do not know for certain where the market will top. But, I am quite confident that we are in the late stages of a VERY long-term bull market move.

Avi has been mostly right about the market over the past 15 years.

Avi is giving good advice. It's clear we're on the precipice of something. Great Reset is actually a good term, although coined by a dubious organization.

The stock market to me is reminiscent of the grind higher 5 years ago before covid hit. For a target under that scenario, I would throw out 3393 plus 2800, or 6193. Then for the trigger I would suggest pandemic 2.0 due to H5N1. Though I am short and not trying to figure out where the exact top will be.

Google search for H5N1 news.

How Now, Brown Cow?

It seems you’ve now joined the ranks of asymptomatic bird flu animals, so congratulations!

The Idaho Statesmen reveals the trend though: they’re gonna call em all “cases.”

Let the fear porn resume!

And pay attention to the verbiage of choice, herein highlighted by me:


Cases of avian flu have been decimating bird populations and for years, more recently making the jump to sea mammals. This year cases were detected amongst farm animals and even human workers at those farms and while they were contained, experts now say that the number of cases is likely much higher, with countless cases going undetected. Veuer’s Tony Spitz has the details.

“Last spring, Cassia County dairy cows were the first to become infected with bird flu in Idaho. The disease quickly swept through farms in the southern portion of the state and public health officials scrambled to figure out how to protect an industry that’s worth billions of dollars.

We were not the first state to endure this, but we were the first state to endure it as hard and as fast as we did,” (state veterinarian) Scott Leibsle said.

We’re now seeing cattle that are shedding the virus, but they’re not showing any signs of symptoms,” Leibsle said. “There’s so many different ways that this virus can spread that we still do not understand.”

It’s FAST. It’s HARD. We’re SCRAMBLING!

Get the gist? This is serious!!

But wait a sec. There’s another name for “not showing any signs of symptoms, right?

Asymptomatic, right? And that usually means “healthy,” doesn’t it?

So, the fear framing is ramping up.

That just means you’ve got to be on the alert and not get triggered.

Fear word: CASES
The more they label these asymptomatic animals (and a few people, as I pointed out last issue) as “cases,” the more fear they can instill in the populace.

And the more fear they generate, the more likely they hope you will be to succumb to their “control” measures, like masking, “sheltering at home,” closure of public places and, the worst (but most profitable), the “vaccines” in whatever devious form they are pumping them out.

Currently, that includes self spreading vaccines, so if you’d rather not be a guinea pig for the next round of Big Pharma’s “protection,” tough.

You’ll get it from your neighbors who jumped at the chance to get another experimental, rushed to market, “safe and effective” vaccine.

Silent spreaders? (shudder…)
So, with language like the main stream media likes to use, you can start shaking in your boots, if you so choose.

Better: see my 4th piece on Lepto (scroll down, great example of fear paralyzing its victims)

Of course there will always be germs, right?

No real control of that. They’ve always been among us, and we’ve always managed to survive them as a species.

But you can control the terrain. That’s your health, your natural resistance, and your immune system.

The Bantu effect from the GGS view is taking them down in the locust effect as interest rates will not matter
in the terminal brain rot phase at hand. The trajectory overshoot as you noted negates any proverbial value added
facts as retail is to be gutted. Bonus time for the street as the retail bull will be stampeded off the cliff.
The rot inside and out has not gone away in any sense of facts. The fact seen was so many went over the cliff
they caught fire from the heap. No different this time just different carbon to be ignited all by itself from
insane fiat criminals unchecked far too long.

Ed Dowd in one of his latest interviews talked about how COVID and the response seemed to be centrally planned.

Dowd said on 4/5/2020 a Federal Reserve president talked about "immunity badges" and how plans were in place to reopen the economy.

Numerous countries cooperated on the COVID response regarding lockdowns, vaccines, etc. When do that many countries agree on everything?

The SPARS Pandemic of 2025 - 2028 was created in 2017 to simulate a pandemic.

Spars Pandemic 2025-2028: A Futuristic Scenario for Public Health Risk Communications
by Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security

Publication date 2017-10-31

SPARS 2025-2028 a Johns Hopkins 2017 detailed outline scripting a worldwide pandemic scenario, how governments can better impose control over their citizens and merge cooperative efforts into a permanent global body into technocracy
Its eerie how the simulated SPARS pandemic of 2017 had so much in common with the actual COVID response. My perspective is this is strong evidence of COVID being centrally planned, yet many people believe that the powers that be are "so great" at what they do that they were able to predict COVID and the simulated pandemic of 2017 is evidence of that.
LOVERS AND HATERS

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Early on in the Corovax vaccination campaign, anti-vaccination groups began emerging on social media platforms. These groups initially came from four primary sources: Muslim groups across the country, who opposed the vaccine on the basis that the original formulation was used to treat pigs; African Americans, who refused vaccination based on continued fear of governmental experimentation on African American populations; alternative medicine proponents, who had also been active in campaigning against Kalocivir; and anti-vaccination activists, who were galvanized by the anti-anti-vaccination sentiment associated with the nationwide measles outbreak in 2015.

With the exception of this last group, none of the anti-vaccination movements were cohesively organized initially, existing primarily in small, isolated pockets across the country. The general antivaccination proponents, however, existed as a core, national group long before the SPARS pandemic. Following the 2015 measles outbreak in the United States, this group united online. By 2016, they had created several primary Facebook groups and numerous Twitter accounts and began using hashtags like #NoVaccines4Me and #VaccinesKill.

The anti-vaccination movement migrated to ZapQ upon its emergence in 2022 due to its ability to combine feeds from across multiple platforms, including realtime text, picture, and video messages from members as well as select traditional media posts such as videos, texts, or streaming news feeds on a single interface that could be used on IAT and other mobile platforms. Additionally, through their ability to control group membership, these groups ensured that they would not be exposed to pro-vaccine "propaganda" from pharmaceutical companies, the federal government, or public health or medical authorities. By 2026, many core members of the anti-vaccine and that natural immunity resulting from contracting the disease was a more effective means of conferring protection.

Many of these messages also contained suggestions (once again drawing on carefully selected and edited quotes from CDC, NIH, and other government officials) regarding how to manage SPARS symptoms. The anti- vaccination movement’s ubiquity, motivation to prevent vaccine injury, and social media expertise meant that numerous Americans heard their message. National polls conducted in mid-August 2026, for example, showed that 68% of US citizens had seen a post or read a comment from someone expressing anti-Corovax sentiments. By 2026, many core members of the anti-vaccine movement obtained their national news almost exclusively from anti-vaccine ZapQ sites.

When Corovax distribution began, the anti-vaccination movement mobilized their resources. Citing select quotes from the CDC, NIH, and other government agencies, anti-vaccine proponents began spreading the message that Corovax was inadequately tested and had unknown, long-term side effects and that natural immunity resulting from contracting the disease was a more effective means of conferring protection. Many of these messages also contained suggestions (once again drawing on carefully selected and edited quotes from CDC, NIH, and other government officials) regarding how to manage SPARS symptoms. The anti- vaccination movement’s ubiquity, motivation to prevent vaccine injury, and social media expertise meant that numerous Americans heard their message. National polls conducted in mid-August 2026, for example, showed that 68% of US citizens had seen a post or read a comment from someone expressing anti-Corovax sentiments.
Ed Dowd thinks that COVID was used as a way of kicking the can down the road to forestall the coming economic crisis. As more information comes out about the COVID response I think this is a possibility.

It never occurred to me that the powers that be wouldn't go down without trying something drastic. I never expected anything close to COVID to be one of their attempts. This is why Dowd says the next manufactured crisis to keep the economy puttering along will be H5N1 or even an alien invasion.
