Player Of The Week
This week saw energy-dominant, mega-rich, toxic alpha male PRINCE Mohammed BIN outplay pretend tough guy President Joey BIN UKRAINEd into RECESSION, which he blames on PUTIN and gas station owners who colluded to keep prices under $2.00 a gallon back in 2019. FUEL PRICES are down forty cents this week, signalling RECESSION is over. Regime is re-focusing on ABORTION and OVERTURNING of Dobbs by codifying Roe by nuking the FILIBUSTER. In election outcome assurance, MONKEYPOX was #1 in the charts for the second week in a row, as Regime moves to transform the country by banning E-CIGARETTES and bolster a new electorate of low-wage, low-English, low-info, high-THC voters ROMANTICALLY attached to their VACCINE status.
Volume Movers
Volume players (terms with over 50K instances YTD in the news corpus) , continue to be (barely) led by steadily declining UKRAINE. This is the first week all major malwords finished their monthly run rates under 300 WPM. We will be doing some sidebar drill-down, but with the conflagrations around the world, we appear to be entering a Post-Curve malwords phase where elites perceive increased tolerance for government-sanctioned atrocity and are increasingly emboldened to commit acts of atrocity against their own citizens.
This convergence plays out in The Daily 30, where INFLATION— as we have been predicting— finished on top thanks to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report on Wednesday, showing the consumer price index increased 9.1% from a year ago in June, blowing past the 8.8% Dow Jones estimate.
Volatility
Another interesting development is in volatility. All slopes have tilted to broken positive, with the exception of FOOD SECURITY, which shifted from high negative to slightly positive. A broken line indicates a disconnect in WPM’s across sampling periods, most clearly seen with ABORTION, coming off a 30-day high of 1495 WPM, ending the week 258.8. As WPM’s converge, and volatility aligns, we tend to see authorities increasingly comfortable with committing atrocity— as we are seeing in Sri Lanka and Netherlands, and expect to see more as the slopes align.
About Malwords
Malwords are keywords weaponized for information warfare. They function within public discourse as intellectual malware, verbal viruses designed to spread quickly for the purposes of a) silencing dissent through control of language, narrative, and speech, b) increasing public tolerance for government-sanctioned atrocity and c) emboldening officials to commit acts of atrocity.
Malword strength is measured by their frequency of appearance in the published body of language (corpus), and expressed in words per million (WPM) linguistic units (words, numbers, symbols, acronyms, etc).
Malword WPM’s typically follow a three-phase lifecycle: Pre-Curve test-markets the new term and puts up the store front; Curve, or Core, is launch phase, characterized by a rapid, exponential liftoff and sudden plunge; Post-Curve is a long, asymptotic tail and is the period in which primary-objective atrocities are implemented.
