First Monday In 2016 = Earthquakes and Market Manipulations

Monday, January 4th, 2016 -( -8˚C / +18˚F with light snow falling @ 12:12 pm in Atlantic Canada )-

There was a 6.7 magnitude earthquake in NorthEastern India about 17 hours before noon Atlantic Time here in Canada. ( “About 17 hours ago – 6.7 magnitude, 55 km depth –
Imphal, Manipur, India.”) That would be the Orange peg near the ‘h’ above “Bangladesh”.

— I sat down to watch the news after Cathi went to work, her first day back after her Christmas Holidays. I drifted in and out and began seriously waking myself up while CBC News casters were talking about a ‘domino effect’ from a 7% drop in China’s stock market. The Chinese closed their market down to halt the downward slide. I thought the news casters might have been saying that the downward slide in China caused a domino effect and was causing a bit of a world-wide panic / market sell-off. Then I wondered if somebody was trying to say that the fact that the Chinese closed down their market caused the problem.

— I was in and out of sleep / ‘wakefulness’ and ‘heard’:

— I’m not entirely sure exactly what that means, or whether it popped up through my imagination all by itself, or might have been the thoughts of someone in China or somewhere else on this planet, or what. (?) The phrasing didn’t come out in any patterns I usually think in – and when I tried to edit my thoughts to make the last phrase : “Their efforts will ultimately fail.” I felt like some kind of authority figure disapproved of that wording. While I felt that I thought I was ‘seeing’ an image of a stern Chinese teacher who was looking down at me with almost no emotion visible, but his posture conveyed a strong feeling that I did not want to incur his anger by getting that wrong.

— Um, there it is –,
