Forecasting Recession - Whatever you do, do not Listen to the Experts

Checkout yet another analysis of experts, analysis of recession forecasting

How well did our experts in the academies of learning forecast the 2008 house price) crash? 

Uh hum...

This is how we let the credit crunch happen, Ma'am ...

But even the analysis the LSE made for the Queen is nonsense. They failed because their view the economy was an ultra limited view, which makes land value the same thing as capital. They say it was just foolish debt and exuberance which caused it. Taking great care not to mention the tens of millions of home owner speculators being root cause - that of course is 'forbidden language' cross party. It is the one thing which unties both left and right in the Uniparty.

Remember, they had so much warning, from non celebrity analysts who had peer reviewed data, it hurt to watch them ignore it when it was a dead cert. And after all they get billions in funding to boot. Ho hum. The Queen recognised it when she asked them at the LSE in 2009 why they didn't see it coming. And so it goes... on and on. 

It's so funny that we still pay respect to the experts because they have never accurately forecast anything successfully. Look at even their most recent record. Its not so funny to observe the economic ideology of the left and the right is what is making a low risk forecast, so risky for anyone who listens to them. So be it.

So, how do clients make hay with this situation and protect their 'households'?

We only have to look to history for a testimony of what is very likely to be repeated, given policy has not changed fundamentally. For example, in 2007 interest rates were higher than they are now and prices were still booming. As was the case in '88 and '71. Curiously in the Guardian piece above in 2007 they were describing interest rates as low at 7% back then compared to todays' high interest rates of 5.25%.

Can you see the neurosis yet? Very intelligent and highly seated experts, by the score, are fully possessed by cognitive dissonance - their political ideology, both left and right, blinds them from seeing what is actually happening, so are totally unable to forecast anything successfully except by luck.

The ignorance here is astonishing to see - relatively high interest rates are ALWAYS overwhelmed by the manic rush to get on the ladder WHEN there is a huge supply of money ready and waiting AND government are already bailing out homeowners with latent boom policy to buy votes. The UK general and US presidential elections coming up on 2024 can only intensify temptation for the Uniparty to pump it even more.

This isn't slamming experts for the hell of it. It is saying, "why do we still pay respect to them for their knowledge"? When its so clear they are incapable.

Nevertheless, there will be an almighty crash globally in around 2026, where we forecast, governments of all parties will buy or will already have bought prior to the upcoming elections, the votes of the people, in exchange for mortgage bail outs or similar. I'm hoping it is crypto which I feel needs to crash in a big way to allow the original technology to re-emerge free from the scammers who hodl sway right today. I don't see any other way for blockchain tech to gain widespread adoption while the current narrative is driving most free enterprise and government administration away.

But why are prospective government likely to sell mortgages to buy votes this time? Mortgagors have emerged as the biggest political constituency now both the left and right have abandoned their traditional constituencies - both seem more interested in encouraging good people to become victims, it is most bizarre. Even socialist government will not care about tenants and the poor, not that I'm particularly sympathetic to them. I'm just pointing at what is going to happen. And am not an expert so my forecast is more trustworthy at the very least.

See here for a roadmap for the 2026 great recession up and coming.  Bear in mind, I'm confident about broadly why and when the recession will happen. The crypto triggers are speculative and only an idea about what I want to believe. Whatever, there will be some kind of trigger not directly related to mortgages which lights the touch paper.

My advice to clients is this: 

  • dont get greedy in the boom already underway with maybe 50%+  rises coming before 2026 during a traditional manic frenzy to buy
  • likewise, you have maybe 12 months to buy if you don't own already before prices are starting to approach unsustainable levels on mortgage, the crash might see a correction of over 30%
  • if you already own, just sit tight, don't do anything risky for the next 3 years and you will make it through without a problem, almost certainly
  • keep 6 months payments in your back pocket in case you're struck by particularly bad luck which is most unlikely
  • you don't want to sell, you want to hold out until prices bottom at the very least in 2027, and even then you may as well hold on because prices and rents will start rising again faster than salaries anyway. Sure, if you like gambling then go ahead and sell at the top in 2025 and buy back when prices bottom perhaps by 2027
Go well.

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado - The 2026 Great Recession

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle always culminating in a financial crisis and great recession. The 18.6 year astronomical period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this and had been measuring it for aeons. And the politicians of the time used it to name the day when the economy had to be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because they noticed around 19 years is as long as an economy can survive when being unjustly abused by its people. Any longer making it too late to recover on its own. And without the reset much worse effects emerge. They knew this. They did not know why. They j...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...
