01/16/02 UPDATE:
I'm currently seeking to resubscribe to the longwave discussion list.
My petition to rejoin was the following:
My name is J.P. Adams and I've been studying longwave phenomenon for some 15 years.
I've corresponded with the likes of Robert Prechter, author of the Elliott Wave Principle, Chris Carolan, author of the Spiral Calendar and Peter Eliades, author of the Stock Market Cycles newsletter.
I was an active participant in the discussion group for a number of years until 1996 when I was removed from the longwave list for attempting to discuss, as one of the participants referred to it at the time, "astrology".
See - http://www.spiritoftruth.org/censored.html
I've noticed that since my departure the possible use of "astroharmonics" in explaining longwave phenomenon has been successfully raised and considered.
I believe we now stand at a most critical juncture in longwave phenomenon.
My global bipolar hypothesis is that the world suffers from large scale collective mood swings that manifest in history as upswings of prosperity, mass mania and good times followed by downswings of contraction, mass depression and bad times. Good times and bad times are literal historic episodes of good news and bad news.
With the "Grand" planetary alignment in May of 2000, a historic manic peak was reached in mass mood and a Grand Supercycle Elliott Wave reversal has taken hold since.
See - http://www.spiritoftruth.org/astroharmonics.htm
Now the potential for a Grand Supercycle crash is at hand in the wake of a key Spiral Calendar solar eclipse on December 14th and the DJIA penetrating below the critical psychological level of 10,000 last week.
See - http://www.spiritoftruth.org/dec2001_lr.jpg
The stock market is currently in a parallel position to early-September of 2001 when the DJIA broke decisively below 10,000 and THEN Spetember 11th occurred.
The pattern of negative historical events manifesting JUST AFTER reversals at key thousand mark psychological barriers has occurred time and time again at the 1000, 3000, 4000, 7000, 8000 and 10,000 marks in the DJIA.
See - http://www.spiritoftruth.org/extreme.htm
With the current reversal from Dow 10,000, I believe it is reasonable to expect not only a major setback in U.S. stock prices and the world economy, but tragic historical events possibly including the outbreak of war involving weapons of mass destruction in, but not necessarily limited to, the Middle East and/or Asia.
The patterns of history are offering a strong basis for prognosticating the near future.
Recognizing that history is predictable in this manner will, of course, have profound implications for science and man's ability to learn from his mistakes.

FROM 1996:
***SCIENTIFIC CENSORSHIP***
For the past several years I have been attempting to present information
to the scientific community about longwave phenomenon, astroharmonics
and the possibility of a Grand Supercycle crash that will involve an
outbreak of global war.
In doing so, I have met derision, outright insults and have been, for
the most part, completely ignored. Now, however, the response is
becoming even more close-minded and irrational.
Several weeks ago I joined a listserver for discussing longwave
phenomenon. After posting several articles about astroharmonic
evidence related to longwave phenomenon to this list, a number of
self-proclaimed "scientists" started to complain that the material
I was presenting was "inappropriate" for longwave discussions.
Thus, I engaging in a lengthy debate on "Elliott Waves, astroharmonics
and scientific reasoning" (this discussion is archived at-
*UPDATE 3/28*: The debate is no longer archived there because
my posts were explicitly removed. Truly these guys are going
to great lengths to censor the truth.
http://csf.colorado.edu/longwave/
which can be accessed from the "Astroharmony" page on my *Spirit
Of Truth* WWW site; note that sometimes you have to click a
couple of times on the discussion posts for them to come up).
In the context of this discussion I confronted those individuals
who wanted to *dictate* what is and is not "appropriate" for
scientific inquiry. The response was predictable. I was
removed from the list.
For your perusal, below is my notification that I have been removed
from the longwave list along with my original post on "Elliott Waves,
astroharmonics & scientific reasoning" and my final post on the
list before being removed.

I asked you to refrain from posting unsubstantiated, wildly speculative
material but you have not heeded my request. I have received a number of
complaints from others about your postings and I suspect that you posting
are also partially responsible for the recent wave of unsubs. You leave
me no other choice but to remove you from this list.

To: Longwave List
Dear longwave list members,
I recently received a request from an individual on this list
to no longer post articles, evidence, etc. as I have been that present
a case for an astroharmonic explanation of long-wave phenomenon.
Since I feel that this request, if met, would constitute a violation
of academic freedom, I feel it is necessary to make a public debate
out of the issue.
Thus, below is the e-mail I received as well as my response.

What strikes me as laughable is sweeping, unsupported claims like
above. How do you know there is no evidence in support of "any of
the many versions of astrology"? Have you ever taken a look for
yourself? Or do you simply *have faith* that others have determined
this for you already. If so, who? References? Facts? Results?
At least with the attached post I'm presenting a case based upon
evidence. You are simply making unsupported claims. This is a
disservice to discovering the truth of the situation.

Indeed. Your view that "astrology is meaningless because it was
developed from superstitions" is the misleading popular presumption,
particularly in science, to which I referred.
That a common belief system would emerge across numerous different
and separate cultures, from the Babylonians to the Mayans, over eons
of history suggests that *superstitions" arose and astrological
beliefs developed because these ancient cultures were picking-up
on regularities of social change which had been observed over
thousands of years. The brief experience with history
available for study by Western civilization likely means
we have not had a chance to discover what these ancient cultures did-
at least not until now. What's more, Western science suffers from
a self-deluding arrogance that prevents it from dealing with
the insights of "primitive" cultures of past times regardless of
whether or not these insights were and are based upon
empirical fact.
As for your claim that "there has never been any success in
trying to support its hypotheses by real-world tests", this
is simply wrong. I would suggest you check out E. Dewey's
4 volume set "Cycles Classic Library Collection" to start.
E. Dewey, the founder of the "Foundation for the Study of *Cycles*",
compiled extensive evidence in support of a connection between
astroharmonics, sunspot cycles and socioeconomic cycles like the
long-wave.
If you would like to see a more concrete example of how astroharmonics
influence market/price cycles, I would suggest you check-out the record
of Greg Meadors' stock market trading system which is based upon
W.D. Gann's astroharmonic model of stock market behavior
(Meadors has a web site at the URL-
http://ison.com/mktsys).
His success can be back-tested for statistical corroboration
of a connection between astroharmonics and wave patterns in stock prices.
Furthermore, similar statistically significant success has
been achieved based upon Chris Carolan's "Spiral Calendar"
trading system in stock, bond and commodity markets. This
trading system makes use of Fibonacci relationships (do
you know what those even are?) and lunar cycles (Carolan
is based at Elliott Wave International- phone #: (800) 636-1618).
Lastly, you can check out the relationships between wave patterns
in stock prices and astroharmonics that I personally have discovered
at the web location-

Please GET OFF your high horse and start presenting material
to back-up your subjective claims. The empirical basis of my
ideas is there and, unfortunately, it will probably not be
until there is a Grand Supercycle crash, Moscow coup and world
war in the wake of last year's (this year's) planetary alignment peak
before self-righteous and thoroughly closed-minded academics
like yourself bother to even take a look.
Lastly, simply because you would like to close yourself off from
the case for an astroharmonic explanation of long-wave phenomenon
is no reason that everyone else should be closed-off. If you
can not deal with what I'm arguing in a reasonable, *scientific*
fashion by counter-arguing with *counter-evidence*, then maybe
it would be best if *you* remove yourself from this list for
scientific discussions and debate on long-wave phenomena.

Actually, Mr. Defay, as part of a broader theory I associate
the "East" with totalitarianism and holistic thinking
(e.g., communism and military strategization) in
contrast to the West which I associate with radical individualism
and analytic thinking (capitalism and strategic naivete).
Global western and eastern hemispheres seem to have characteric
differences similar to the differentiated characteristics found
in the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
The following paper explains my view and ties it into longwave phenomenon.
