Good Morning:

• As mentioned Monday, my schedule is tight this week, which has made it challenging to be generous with my public commentary.
• The bottom line this week, and even this morning, is that the S&P 500 should be in a lot worse shape than it is, given all the “visible” circumstances.
• While continuously flirting with a break below the June 3639 lows, there is no sustained break.
• If it is not going down, the stock market is likely going up – even if it is just another short-covering rally.
• And let’s face it – the short-covering rallies in this bear market have been spectacular – and those involved will always hope that the short-covering rally at hand will become the bottom of the bear.
• Nobody will ring a bell at the bottom – or a low – and the news will be just as dire as it is now.
• For anyone paying attention, there has been global sabotage of food and energy production and distribution centers over the past 12 months (including in our own “open borders” country).
• An organized cabal is out to purposely make worse a food and energy crisis already on the horizon for this winter.
• In the past year, some organized Cabal has already sabotaged at least 20 important food and energy production facilities in our country alone. Apparently, the mainstream media is not allowed to discuss it, which says a lot about the Cabal’s identity and connections.
• So the sabotage of the Nordstream Pipelines is no surprise. It is highly likely a Globalist plan executed by the Orwell regime.
• And we already know that the regime operates on the orders of the U.S. Military Industrial Complex and its partners in the World Economic Forum (“WEF”), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the United Nations (UN).
• The Orwell regime’s handlers do not want the Russia / Ukraine conflict resolved unless they can dethrone Putin and carve up Russia.
• A resolution of the conflict would restore cheap, free-flowing Russian energy to Europe again.
• Restoring cheap Russian energy would compete with the climate change agenda and strengthen Russia’s European influence.
• With friends like President Orwell and the Cabal that pulls his strings, Europe hardly needs enemies.
• But for now, there is little to no reaction in our stock market – which supports a potential short-covering rally soon.
• Given the plethora of negative events, rejecting prices below the June low is bullish – at least for the short term.
• And positive seasonality kicks in for stocks about the middle of October, perhaps boosted by the mid-term elections that follow. Of course, the markets could still set off some fireworks between now and then.
• My forecast is simple. The market will continue to drift down, interrupted by steep, quick short-covering rallies through next spring. One of those rallies is close at hand.
• If this bear market is like the others I have studied and experienced; the short-covering rallies will diminish in strength and intensity over time before the final bear market capitulation.
• Since last week, the Founder’s Group has continued to reverse positions from long to short and vice versa on short-term buy and sell signals by applying the Navigator Algorithms to the hourly charts. Our previous short was 3700.25 yesterday, which we reversed at 3642.75 on something we call a “cradle” buy signal. 
• But our public stance and swing-trading accounts have been neutral since yesterday but remain on high alert for a buy signal in the swing-trading algorithms.
• We maintain that neutrality, with the risk of a rally higher than the risk of further declines at this moment. The market’s muted reaction to the Nordstream Pipeline sabotage underscores that position.
• The sabotage makes a settlement of the Russia / Ukraine conflict more difficult. That was the intention. The Globalists want war, aiming to conquer Russia and China at any cost. 
• And since the Globalists have a parallel objective of population reduction – you can see that a war with Russia and China accomplishes more than one of their objectives.
• As one example of a direct threat to the Cabal, Russia’s constitution declares the country a Christian nation. Further, Russia also made traditional marriage between a man and woman a constitutional position.
• Russia does not want the anti-family, anti-church, anti-gender, and sexual child-grooming Great Reset agenda overtaking Western Nations – much less Russia.
• China doesn’t want the Great Reset for different reasons. They do not favor “girlie-men” or sexual liberalism -especially with their children.
• The plot is hard at work, putting us into a war with Russia and China because the Cabal cannot implement the Great Reset until the two opposing superpowers are out of the way. 
• The Cabal has already conquered the U.S. with the 2020 Coup and all that has followed. It should be obvious to anyone as we watch our liberties destroyed and our government institutions weaponized against half of the country.
• That is how the Cabal can get a submarine to take out Nordstream while leaving Norway’s new gas pipeline unharmed.

Stay tuned, hold on to your wallet, and we will do our best to keep you out of harm’s way.
