CHRONOLOGICAL

PEOPLE'S WORLDWIDE "STREAM OF THOUGHT" -- 1-JAN-06 - 30-APR-06

WORLD EVENTS: Mega Mergers; India-U.S. Nuclear Agreement; French Protests Against First Employment Contract (CPE); New U.S. Government Debt Limit; Global Anti-War Protests; U.S. Protests in Favor of Immigration Rights; North American Summit; Iran Joins the "Nuclear Club"; Nepal Protests; U.S.-China Relations; IMF Imbalances; Osama bin Laden; Dahab Attack.
  • People's Desires, Aversions, and Suppressed Concerns, and the Powers that Facilitated or Inhibited the Desires.
    The Stream of Thought Consists of 2 Fluxes: One Identifies What Dominated People's Awareness, the Other What Were the Foci of People's Attention. Each Flux Has 17 Thought Variables Organized Around 3 Categories: What People Desired Most; What People Desired Least; and the Powers that Facilitated or Hindered the Desires. People's Fields of Awareness and Foci of Attention Are Ranked and Color Coded. People's Suppressed Concerns Are Shown in Grey.

CREDIT CARD HAUNTING: The Focus on Money Became Most Intense (100%) on 30-Jan-06 -- as Credit Card Payments Became Due.

PERIOD OF TESTING BEFORE THE NEXT BOOM IN TECHNOLOGY? The Focus of Attention on Technology Became Most Intense (100%) on 9-Feb-06. Google Stock Price Accelerated to a Record $471.63 on 11-Jan-06, then Fell to $358.77, Ironically, also on 9-Feb-06. Should Google Stock Price Re-Accelerate Upward, then Such Acceleration May Be the Sign Marking the Onset of the Next Big Boom.

ANTI-PROPHET MOHAMMED CARTOONS: The Ensuing Protests Focused People's Attention Upon Deceit and Justice.

SLAVERY WATCH -- 1-JAN-06 - 30-APR-06

ANTI-DANISH CARTOONS PROTEST: The Danish Anti-Prophet Mohammed Cartoons and the Ensuing Anti-Danish Protests in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, Starting on 3-Feb-06, Revealed Deep Global Concerns:

  • Slavery and Freedom  Became Positively Correlated (From 5-Feb-06 Through 9-Feb-06)
  • So Did Slavery and Bankers and Slavery and Capitalism
  • People's Attention Focused on Deceit and Justice.

The Positive Slavery-Freedom Correlation, While Transient, Is Doubly Disturbing:

  • It Evokes the ORWELLIAN SPECTER "FREEDOM IS SLAVERY"
  • It Implicates, in the Minds of the Masses, Bankers and Capitalism.

PEOPLE'S AWARENESS AND ATTENTION

Keeping and Eye on Money, Bankers, Debt, Deceit, Free Trade, Justice, Law, and Slavery
GLOBAL ALERT: STARTING AROUND BLACK FRIDAY, PEOPLE CONCENTRATED MUCH ATTENTION ON JUSTICE AND LAW, IN CONJUNCTION WITH MONEY AND BANKERS. PEOPLE ALSO SUPPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT DEBT AND EVIL. THE FOCUS ON MONEY BECAME MOST ACUTE (100%) ON 3-DEC-05. EVIDENCE FROM GLOBAL EMPIRICAL THOUGHT STREAMS CORROBORATED A STRONG PERSISTENT NEGATIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN JUSTICE AND FREEDOM, IMPLYING AN UNEASY GLOBAL FEELING OF UNFREEDOM. STARTING ON 8-DEC-05, PEOPLE'S FOCUS SWITCHED TO SLAVERY. THE FOCUS UPON SLAVERY BECAME MOST ACUTE (100%) ON 13-DEC-05. IRONICALLY, THE WORD COUNT FOR "FREEDOM" IN 3 SPEECHES BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, ON 7, 12, AND 13 DECEMBER 2005, WAS ALSO A RECORD 56! AUTHORITIES SHOULD PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION: PERSISTENT AND INTENSE FOCUS ON LAW IS A PREMONITOR OF TROUBLE. THE MINDRANK OF LAW PEAKED AT 100% ON 7-SEP-01 (4 DAYS BEFORE 9/11). THIS MEANS THAT AL-QAEDA CHOSE TO ATTACK THE U.S. WHEN PEOPLE WORLDWIDE WERE MOST TROUBLED ABOUT THE "RULE OF LAW."

The Distrust of President George W. Bush's Social Security Reform Was Deeper than the Distrust of the EU Constitution.

President Bush May Be Investigated for Allegedly "Rigging" the War in Iraq. Governments' Power of Eminent Domain Favors Wealthy Corporation Over Middle-Class and Poor Americans.

QUESTION: What Was on People's Mind on 12-Jun-05 -- One Day After the G8 Canceled at Least $40 Billion of the Debt Held by the Poorest 18 Countries?
ANSWER: Justice, Slavery, Debt, and Free Trade.

Why Did the G8 Finance Ministers Cancel at Least $40 Billion of the Debt Held by the Poorest 18 Countries on 11-Jun-05? Two Speculative Answers.
