“Give us food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is gone.” Gen: 47:15
This is a doomsday scenario. This is the financial morning the whole world has been dreading. In one swoop, the money is all gone. The monetary system as we know it that has existed since 1792 is obliterated. That predicted, prophesied time is here. World Stock Markets has been in flux for weeks. The US has had its credit rating downgraded to a C minus. Other key EU countries have also had their ratings stripped back to complete negative territory. The DOW has fallen below 3000 points for several consecutive days. The FTSE, DAX and other markets slide ominously into fiscal meltdown. Global traders watch precariously as world markets landslide and implode. The images and the inescapable reality have come home to roust as the turmoil exacerbates. All the while, most of the world’s citizens go about their daily business numb to the impending travesties that are about to unfold and will unleash a chain of events unprecedented upon the planet in all of human history.
It is 9AM on a cloudy Monday morning over Capitol Hill in Washington. The President of the United States is about to issue an emergency state of the nation address where he is about to enact Executive Privilege based on The Gold Confiscation Act of April 5th, 1933 issued by the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt to the United States Congress as – Presidential Executive Order 6102. The Act states:
“This Order is “Forbidding the Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion and Gold Certificates by virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 5(b) of the Act of October 6, 1917, as amended by Section 2 of the Act of March 9, 1933, entitled that the Act is to provide relief in the existing national emergency in banking, and for other purposes’ in which amendatory Act Congress declared that a serious emergency exists.”
The President further states that the 6900 Series of Protocols must be instituted as the US dollar has completely collapsed and is now worthless as the world trading currency.
Many are asking – how did we get here? Is this the prophesied end of the world? Did we think that we could print “monopoly” money out of thin air and do it successfully ad infinitum? Why was former US Chairman Greenspan and now Bernanke allowed to get with financial chicanery? Why was the market flooded with cheap, now worthless money to prop up unsustainable debt which would eventually collapse under the weight of market fluctuations and the boom and bust cycles? But answers are futile!
Now the apocalypse has come and governments must try to manage anarchy and the seismic fallout which will ultimately hit the streets and cities of the world. Will this be the catalyst which brings on World War 111?
“A shocking Russian Finance Ministry report prepared for Prime Minister Putin warned that massive liquidity runs on American and European financial institutions created the danger which collapsed the entire global economic system leaving war as the only “option” for the West to use to protect itself from complete obliteration.” But would not war eventually bring about the same end?
In America, every Wall Street bank is shut down along with every other bank on Main Street. Governments around the world follow suit as the American dominoes begin to fall one by one. Preplanning and contingency moves has brought Special Forces on to the streets to protect the civic institutions and other places from looting and rioting. Marshal Law has been declared and the militarization of every area of public space becomes sacrosanct in order to maintain the status quo.
With the collapse of the economic system, global intelligence services have gone on their highest priority level ever. China, Russia and Iran have begun to marshal their military forces as the EU, the US, & India goes on Red Alert. Nuclear submarines are put on full alert and Britain has had its major fleet deployed from the Isles off the Scottish coast as the winds of Armageddon begin to blow.
Iran promises to teach America “the mother of all lessons” accusing the Americans, with the help of Israelis and Germans, of creating the Stuxnet virus which attacked the Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities. Russian agents have planted secret bombs at US missions around the world while energy supplies to Western Europe are on rations; and China has floated its newest aircraft carrier into the Suez Canal. North Korea has engaged its nuclear capability against the South as well as against America while India and Pakistan are locked in a Mexican standoff.
Armageddon is finally here! But questions are still being asked. Did we not see this coming?
American history is replete with major catastrophes it has survived. In the [218] years since the U.S. dollar was born in 1792, the United States has suffered through a great civil war (some believe over slavery which is a MYTH) that devastated the nation’s finances; a massive flu pandemic that killed at least 50 million people worldwide (the 1st know man-made biohazard), shutting down the U.S. economy, and a great dust bowl and depression that left millions homeless and unemployed – the worst U.S. financial disaster of the 20th century. It survived [10] major foreign wars and [44] recessions that have destroyed hundreds of thousands of businesses and millions of jobs. But throughout all these disasters, the U.S. government has NEVER abused its money-printing power like it’s currently doing today! Was this its undoing?
What we have witnessed on the back of the frenzied money printing – world stock markets have plied their sinister trade in DERIVATIVES* (a form of speculative mathematical alchemy) where Las Vegas styled casino gamblers have become obscenely wealthy at the expense of the poor, the taxpayer and the unenlightened stocks & shares buyers and sellers. Now the derivatives bubble has ballooned to almost US$1 Quadrillion and has bust oozing the toxic sludge which has infected every organ of the world economy.
Did not the pundits and gurus warn that there should have been [4] things which would be warning signs before the inevitable apocalyptic CRASH*? These [4] signs have always been a harbinger of things to come:
-
Bank stocks led the entire global market into the abyss
-
The economy was winding down precipitously; as politicians worldwide including central bankers were scrambling to find solutions
-
The Volatility Index or as it is called (THE VIX) – was at levels not seen in years.
-
Gold was setting one new record after another rising across the ominous $2000/ounce barrier
Sadly, the masses were running to and fro and few were cognizant of what was emerging on the horizon, although the storm clouds were warning signs – most were apathetic and nonchalant choosing denial over preparedness.
America’s force majeure of its debt servicing and its admission that it could not longer pay its bills was in part the defacto repudiation of its debt to its creditors – most notably, China. This has forced China on to the back foot and caused the Asian Bubble to burst with its own levels of toxic pus resulting in mass unrest and the declaration of the collapse of all the tiger economies. Japan, Korea and China went suddenly into freefall with these respective governments threatening military intervention as a mean of future survival.
Food, fuel, daily commodities have all been rationed by the military government agencies. Only those with the relevant ID can get access to the basics including medical care. The world has been turned on its head and everywhere is suicide, chaos and the deafening spectre of war that will mean the ultimate destruction of a major part of mankind. As was stated in a Holy Book that many ignored – [200] million die in one passing swoop!
The Christian Science Monitor of August 6, 2010, had warned that Beijing was a barometer on whether Iran would be attacked and it seems unlikely by the acceleration in trade between China and Iran. Still a major war in the Middle East and an even more dangerous global war with the use of nuclear weapons cannot be ruled out. The globe is facing a state of worldwide military escalation. What are looming in front of humanity are the possibilities of an all-out nuclear war and the extinction of most life on this planet as we know it.
The time of trouble is here. Perilous times will call for survival mechanisms unknown to human flesh. All around is the clarion call – “Get on board the ark of safety for the winds will not diminish but only increase.” For in a time of peace and relative safety – sudden destruction comes!
Terence, Your summation, though somewhat proleptic, IS* RIGHT* ON*
But, as usual, the majority, will continue SCOFFING* !!!
@TB
Great effort, all too possible!
However, it should be noted that the US$ has totally failed on several occasions since 1792. eg after the Civil War in the late 1860s, hence the term “not giving a Continental damn” as the currency was referred to as the continental. Another example would be the Crash or Panic of 1907 when JP Morgan rallied the country. The Federal Reserve was born out of these troubles in 1913, this new currency is now depreciated by about 99% versus its purchasing power in 1913.
Iran does conduct much business with China, especially in Natgas. The problem for Iran is 2 fold, 1 Isreal/US over nuclear devices 2 Saudis et al Sunni/ Wahabist muslims feel threatened by Iran on two grounds nuclear and by being the largest Shiia group, who are also not Arab.
The US has already slipped in much legislation in the Health and other Bills to deal with troublesome situations
1 control over pensions and retirement savings.
2 control over travel and migration
3 purchase and possession of gold eg cant take more than 7 ozs of gold out
4 imposition of special fees on retirement savings 4-8%
5 bureaucratic commisions to decide on your health decisions.
Most people are blissfully unaware of what is going on.
The brown stuff is hitting the big fan! In Europe, will Germany attempt to bailout Italy and /or Spain? I doubt it can without total fiscal/ political union which is against German law and the High Court will probably rule against it.
The days of artificial stimulation,milk and honey are swiftly coming to an end.
Philosophically we must bear in my mind that

@Moneybrain
You seem to be close to the markets, the rally we are seeing in the markets are you suggesting it will bring false hope with a colossal crash in the offing?
And they declare their SIN as Sodom ( As seen at the Drag Queen show!)
With his epistemology, perhaps Zoe, after his derogatory remarks re: the Plantation show, would reveal the reasoning why his omniscient Lord God Almighty would choose for his only begotten son to appear on earth as a transvestite in a dress, and not a three piece suit or surplice with an appropriate dog collar.
It could be misconceived that 13 men in dresses, and a prostitute, prancing around bronze age Judea is a highly suspect basis for a devotional religion.
But some people’s capacity for faith never ceases to amaze me, as I am certain the abject disappointment of interment never ceases to amaze them.
@ David
EXACTLY!!! Suck dem in one more time is very possible! The US will be in official recession by end Q1, 2012. It would not surprise me if a year from now the NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research) declares that we started recession by Sep30th, 2011! It is always announced way after the fact. The stock market has a very high probability of going down at least 25-30% and possibly back to test the lows of March 09 ie 50+% down. Please note that history shows that once the previous cycle low has been broken ie 2002 lows, then it is entirely possible that a majority of the bull market of 1982-1999 can be retraced to the DJIA 5-6,000 range for example. Remember that in the 1930s the Dow dropped 87%!
This is not a normal recessionary cycle, we are in a Great Contraction caused by absolutely ridiculous debt levels and artificially low, suppressed interest rates. Historically these episodes take at least 7-10yrs to repair and the Govt action so far has not initiated the proper fix, but it has been “pretend and extend”. These jokers are giving banks $Trillions which is not finding its way to the consumer to create jobs, confidence etc.Many people and companies are not eligible to receive more credit anyway. What Govts should be doing is spending on infrastructure which is in need of serious work. (estimates of $1+TR needed in US) This would not only provide jobs in the country eg US, but everyone would benefit from improvements to roads, airports, sewerage systems etc. The current strategy has done little to provide jobs which is the crux of the matter. Japan has been ensconced in low growth since 1990 and we are in it now. Mishandling the relationship with China is a basic but tragic mistake. They still have 200mn peeps to properly employ, so why does anyone have to employ Americans when the Chinese/ Indians will work for scraps? Even Brazilian migrant workers have left the US and returned to good jobs/ life in Brazil.
@Moneybrain
Lets make the discussion relevant to Barbados.
We know that if the USA double dips Barbados and most other countries in the world don’t have the capacity to absorb the punishment which will ensue.
Our dollar is pegged to the US.
We have a soft currency.
What is the best advice in the circumstances you can give to Barbadians by way of preparation knowing that most can’t anyway.
Here is an article from the respect FT.
Bit late now, David.
But for mitigation, survival will rest in the hands of your own community, and not the government incompetents who got us here by ignorance, neglect and wishful thinking.
Food scarcity, security and clean water are the essentials to safeguard against.
Commandeer and cultivate derelict and rab land in your neighbourhood,
True non-political community councils set up to fairly distribute the available produce, and protect the most vulnerable.
Institute a register of all available skills within your community and institute a barter system for goods and services.
Loads more advice on the web, but planning time is short but urgent, because when the SHTF without any preparation, it will be every man for himself and the chaos which will ensue will destroy what we now enjoy.
Scoff and die.
@Straight Talk

@ST and David
Good advice ST. Co-op for growing food is good but someone will have to stay up at night to fend off the predial larcenist, with guns. The laws need tightening up in this respect.Those that can should hide 3months+ expenses in cash in their house as the banks could shut or restrict cash outs. European banks are suffering a run on the banks already.
Everybody should have cut back on their expenses already, where practical. They should store can foods and have non-electric openers etc as electricity may be a problem at some point. ( indeed one of the most likely negative events is solar storms frying the grid not many of the other aspects you read on the net)
The journalistic commentators may think it best to let the situation unfold on its own or maybe because politicians have told them what NOT to discuss. True, no one can give accurate predictions to 5 decimal points but I prefer to be approximately correct than precisely wrong and not warn the peeps to prepare. Economists, politicians and journalists tend to place a positive spin for the most part.It usually in their best interests to perform thus. the facts are that real GDP growth rate in the US is below 2% now and dropping fast and in every situation like this in the past 50 yrs the US went into recession very soon after. Believe me that I wish my info was wrong. I tell my clients to place at least 10% in gold and pray that we are wrong!
@Alien
Poor old Buffet will have to cut back on his smoked salmon and caviar budget by 1% or so because if he looses 90% of his money he will only have about $4BN left to get by! I am sure his good friend Bill Gates would lend a helping hand!
Dont forget that just as JP Morgan did in the 1907 Panic, Buff must respond positively to show leadership as he is so well known. What would happen if he sold everything like he did in 1968 within 3 months of the top of the 1960s stock market????? He probably could not get out of many of his positions anyway. Also, many of his stocks will survive as businesses eg J&J, Amex, etc
@KIKI
Your point about those that have nothing to lose is very valid, especially those that have had a great time spending and now going to go bankrupt and never have to pay back. Poor bastards who worked hard and saved are the ones to get screwed because of politicians terrible lack of honest, professional leadership. All the 55+ age group in danger of a long miserable retirement, many 70+yrs already gone back to work after 2008-09 and will die on the job. Very sad.
http://www.doomsdayguide.org/
@Moneybrain
Am I seeing some inconsistency? If one goes by what you have posted you haven’t advised your clients to liquidate their positions but yet your recent posting suggests some doomsday scenario.
Incidentally your advise to hoard cash, buy manual can openers etc. sounded familiar, Oh yes I remember I heard the same in 1999 leading up to the year 2000.
David the social commentators in Barbados probably have their pensions tied up in Clico.
They don’t want to discuss the possibility of more suffering.
@Sarge
You missed your appointment at the optometrist?
Exactly where did I say that my clients are heavily exposed to stocks? They have loads of bonds, some gold and high income. Most made money last couple weeks.
The more dramatic points were in answer to David who asked for some ideas for Bim. If one overstocks some corn beef, sardines etc no one will know that it was not necessary BUT if things degenerate it wont hurt.
We admit there is moral collapse but yet we can rationalize all behaviours occurring in the society.

@TMB
Valid points for the most part.
However, in the US many of the larger firms are permitted by law to have Head Office shells in Ireland, Switzerland etc where Corp Tax is 12.5% versus 35% in the US. In a global world these companies are logically keeping their money in the lower tax environment. Indeed I could name at least 15 COYS with more than $30BN. The total is approx $1.2 Trillion with one well known COY at $93BN. This cash will never be repatriated at 35% and so a percentage way below 12.5% will have to be negotiated. This money will be used to expand everywhere else BUT the US. So without fixing this, the US is DOOMED! WHY? No repatriation = no US jobs therefore not enough growth to meet the high income requirements to get out of CONTRACTION.
Taxing the billionaires, even if possible, will not dent the problem. WB should have reminded everyone that his Admin Assistant pays more tax than he does by his previous admission. Yes, tax them if you can BUT…..
High taxes on LUXURY GOODS may make sense.
Something we all need to realise is that Govts waste money they do receive. I believe that the % is well over 30%! When you consider the financial mess, advent of the East and the Demographic bulge in early process of retiring over the next 20 yrs the West,including Japan, are in DEEP trouble. Now add in the fact that we have nanotech coming, robotics, and the graphene chip which will replace the silicon at 10,000 times the speed, any thinking person MUST ask themselves “why would the rich global controllers need 7BN humans?????????
Buffet is at least consistent, I watched an interview on 60 Minutes some years ago when he said that his Secretary was in a higher tax bracket than his own. He is in a minority among the rich who don’t object to higher taxes. However many of the other rich do object and they outnumber the Buffets of the USA. Many of them are Noveau Riche who would do any thing to avoid taxes including squirreling away their funds in off shore tax havens. It is these rich who contribute to political campaigns to ensure their interests are looked after. When the Texas Rangers baseball team was sold why did minority owner GW Bush receive a larger percentage of the proceeds from the other partners than he was entitled to? He who pays the piper calls the tune.
They want to protect their assets and pass them on to the lucky sperm recipients (they also have a problem with inheritance taxes) and enjoy their country clubs and exotic hideaways while the peons labour to enjoy a decent standard of living.
Who financed the Tea Party? Why did the Tea Party candidates have to sign a pledge against any tax increases?
Follow the money
@Sarge
“follow the money” 3 of the most important words in life.
Preceding the money, where possible, is critical in investing. Especially getting out of assets that are about to CRASH!
@Kiki
There are many very guilty sub-groups in this mess including those you mention but few note the actions of those who bought houses they could not afford ( like a couple that owned a restaurant in Georgia and built their first home with all the luxuries egBIG Pool, luxury kitchen, fancy bathrooms etc) and many material items eg people were buying a fourth LCD TV 40+ inches of course and placing it in the basement just in case one of the TVs in use stopped working GREED!
Personally I dont hold them as guilty as the Pols, Inv Bankers, Mortgage sellers etc who should be held to a much higher standard of responsibility. Humans are stupid real bad, the old Bajan thrift approach of only spending cash you have (besides conservative mortgaging) and living well within your means, searching for discounts, has served the practitioners well.
@Moneybrain

I think you brought up the idea of population control before but that doesn’t make any sense when Bush cut off US funding for contraception in the Third World and his Administration ensured that US funds did not go to UN agencies that were assisting the poor with contraception. Perhaps someone didn’t get the memo.
Unless China is part of the plot with their “one child” per family plan or Indians aborting female fetuses.
Anyway about conspiracy theories, Buzz Aldrin had a good response to someone who kept badgering him that the US didn’t land on the moon.
You wouldn’t want me to sic Buzz on you, would you?
@Sarge
Given the info provided the evil, greedy controllers might feel justified viewing the population as EXCESS! I did not say they should, in fact I asked peeps to consider the possibility that the ultras may have CULLING plans. It is better to be aware of the possibility than go blissfully to the “GAS CHAMBERS”.
I hope that I am wrong but history shows that the mess the world is in , typically leads to riots and then WAR!

“Let them eat cake”* is the traditional translation of the French phrase “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”, supposedly spoken by “a great princess” upon learning that the peasants had no bread. Since brioche was enriched, as opposed to normal bread, the quote supposedly would reflect the princess’s obliviousness to the condition of the people.
While they are commonly attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette,[*] there is no record of these words ever having been uttered by her.
@TMB and Kiki
The rioters, looters and murderers in the UK and elsewhere are going to cost the country money and thereby make it more difficult for themselves.
There is a crying need for an advocate of the downtrodden to rise up similar to MLK. Why doesn’t the inner city MPs form a group to urgently research, consult with the disadvantaged and proposed practical solutions. Life is all about CARROT and stick.
The youngsters should be assisted in becoming successful via training, education etc BUT they should not have the choice of being louts, lazy with pay or gangsters. Those that dont want to better themselves should be forced into the military for training in discipline. Leaders that run countries on this basis have much lower unemployment, crime etc and much happier citizens.
We live in a Corporatist Global situation with very poor, corrupt political leadership. Therefore, countries that have high Corp Tax have to scrap it to increase jobs and tax people that live in their borders. Higher VAT on luxuries, much lower or zero on necessities. Govts must also utilise high quality MANAGEMENT strategies and techniques so that tax revenue really becomes effectively expended.
Sure interest rates on credit cards and credit extended to lower rated customers are too high. But surely people know that running up CC is DUMB. The problem with the vast majority of CC users is that they want goods and services today that they cant afford for 3 yrs hence. ALL high schoolers should have to take Budget& Acct 101. My family has never paid a cent of interest on CC! WHY? We have trained ourselves NOT to want material crap eg had a 30 inch Panasonic TV for 17 yrs and only replaced it because my son needed a modern TV that interacts with computers etc, it took him more than 1yr to convince me and he had to end up buying out of his pocket. (we dont charge him rent) Remember that I am a multi- millionaire! My children were NOT given a car at 16/17 etc. DISCIPLINE.( we do live in the big city) They had to perform at school and UNI, anything less than B+ avg and you pay for yourself! They had to have a job!
People have to learn to focus on improving themselves NOT the trappings of wealth.
@Moneybrain
Glad to see that you are passing on the lessons of frugality to your children, but, and you know that there is always a “but”; you mean to tell me that you are a multi millionaire and you only had a 30 inch Panasonic for 17 years? Or that was the TV in the basement while you had all the others complete with bells and whistles all throughout the house; family room; living room, kitchen and bedrooms.
I don’t know the Postal Code that you are in but Junior would surely have rebelled a long time ago when he saw that you were not keeping up with the Joneses.

Junior did NOT rebel. Indeed just heard today that he passed his finals of the Chartered Financial Analyst for portfolio management. So having just turned 26 he has his BBA, Chtd Acct and CFA. What Rebellion? I have been totally devoted to my kids attending 80+% of their Basketball, Baseball etc competitive league games.
DISCIPLINE Sarge! Being there and guiding them, ensuring as best I could that they learnt the basic but truly important points. Taught them to respect themselves and people of all races, shades, creeds and classes. Material possessions are temporary, great character is almost eternal. Never pay full price for the latest Koby’s or Tracy’s either, when is the SALE. Money is only useful to get the world off your back, IMO. You cant take money with you BUT with the right training you can attempt to build a mini family “dynasty”, although it is tough to get past 3 generations.
As the old lady said when asked about her very varied financial life,” I have been poor and miserable, and rich and miserable, RICH miserable is definitely better. The truth is most people have no intention of researching how to be rich or following the sacrifices necessary. But it is sweet when you can cut your work week in half by age 40-50, see your kids grow and take off 4-6 weeks a year.

2. The Poor POOR*
3. The Rich POOR*
4. The Rich RICH*
All of us fall into one category or another…
Postmodern capitalists indoctrination has FALSELY* and subliminally taught us that TRUE* wealth lies in a man’s possessions as if we brought anything into this world at birth and whether we will take it with us as did the Egyptian Pharaohs…
Sadly, the lessons of SOLOMON* (that quantum-rich king of Israel) whom Jesus said that there will never be anyone greater than him – sadly and pathetically learnt true LIFE* lessons from bitter experiences (which is an example to all of us who have a few pennies more than the other GUY*)… SOLOMON’s conclusion after having all the money, all the wisdom, all the material things, all the wives & women, all the servants, all that his poor heart desired can be found in Ecclesiastes 12: 13,14:
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep HIS* commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil…”
It’s that simple!!!
I have so-called millionaires “friends” who do nothing to make a difference in the world – they don’t even have a HALF-BAKED* opinion on the BRITISH* weather…
I have a “few” others (emphasis on FEW*) who will want to make you believe that salvation is by works… So going to Africa and building a school or orphanage is sufficient penance to justify their good deeds – while the others figure that cutting a cheque for 50K based on the needs of some CHARITY* is a passport ensuring moral transfiguration…
It’s all seismic DECEPTION!!!
The road to HELL* is still paved with the best of intentions and many are on the road OBLIVIOUS* like the rich, young ruler in ( Matthew 19:16-22; Mark 10:17-31; Luke 18:18-30 ) believing that they can earn SALVATION* through their own “WORKS”…
What a CROQ!!!
No wonder Jesus said at the end of the discourse with that rich, young man – “GO SELL ALL YOU HAVE AND GIVE IT TO THE POOR AND COME AND FOLLOW ME”…
What this blind fool could not see is that his heart was deceitful and Christ saw it and hence the above command to him…
Had he the right heart – he would have freed himself willingly for the sake of the poor – and seeing that NO* man can beat God giving (in other words, God will NEVER* allow anyone to out-beat HIM* in the area of giving) – that rich, young ruler would have got back “DOUBLE” for what he gave (because the ISSUE* is never the possessions – but your HEART condition)…
It was this story that caused JESUS* to remark: “it will be EASIER” for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God”…
So for those of us with MONEY* – BEWARE!!!!
True WEALTH* apparently is not found in useless PAPER* that is here TODAY* and tomorrow looks like ZIMBABWE…
True riches is a matter of the HEART!!!
And matters of the heart always matter to the heart of those who seek to find their way out of their miserable impasse…
They are FOLKS* on BU (materialists, atheists, agnostics, deniers, soothsayers & scientific prognosticators) who will “ARGUE” vehemently against “FAITH” – yet hidden in plain view is an AMERICAN* led, European created ECONOMIC* system that “PRINTS MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR” – unsupported and non-backed by any tangible PHYSICAL* “gold”assets…
They refuse to accept that our current economic system is BUILT* and is being nurtured by a “FALSE” sense of FAITH*** – for how else can you describe it?
Since OBAMA, your $$$ according some of my astute, ECONOMIC* post-doctoral colleagues purport is worth just 40 CENTS* on the $1.00….
So for every $1,000,000 in HARD CASH* you supposedly own – it’s really only worth $400K….
For the BRITS* & those in the EURO* – the margins are only slightly better and forget the YEN* and the Chinese Yuan, the Auzzie $$ or any of the currencies being traded in the LAS VEGAS* type-casinos around the world called financial MARKETS…
So for those of us who in these EVIL*, despicably, amoral societies called 1st world countries – who believe that things will continue as they always have been from the beginning will one sure morning be greeted with the ultimate DOOMS-DAY reality…
Britain, Europe, America, Canada and other neo-capitalists societies with their foolish and selfish economic policies, have robbed the POOR* to feed, clothe and prop up the rich, and the time is coming when “KARMA”, (the LAWS OF GOD) – call it what you like will NOT* allow us to get away with it forever!
Based on God’s economic laws and HIS* laws of retributive JUSTICE* makes it crystal clear that “whatsoever you sow, that shall you also reap!” (Gal.6:7)…
These 1st world countries have sown repression, exploitation, immuration and economic disembowelment for vast swathes of the world’s populations ( and have done it without SHAME)…
So according to Revelation 18: 8 – 10, destruction will be swift! God’s judgments on this nefarious system of CAPITALISM* for her selfishness and cruelty to the poor and her unwillingness to share her ill-gotten gains and wealth end with the VIALS* of God’s wrath being poured out on a Babylonian system of intrigue which all the world wondered after (beguiled, bewitched & benumbed into servile deceptive compliance).
So many are going to hurt badly for the [pain that was inflicted on the marginalized, the dispossessed & the POOR*]!!!
Fools have pined their FAITH* on governments, central banksters & stock market “gurus” to suddenly one day have their fortunes disappear and lost; hopes dashed; and their fragile world shattered like weak panes of glass…
It’s only a MATTER OF TIME*…
America, with over $8 TRILLON* in DEBT* has reached her WATERLOO*… This unsustainable DEBT, (if this paper-thin world empire) survived for another 1000 years – it still could not REPAY* its DEBT*** burden!!!
The end-result is what was quoted earlier in this piece: “force majeure of its debt servicing and its admission that it could not longer pay its bills was in part the defacto repudiation of its debt to its creditors…
Many SCOFF* (to quote ZOE***) but the PROOF* if as we say is in the pudding (then time – A VERY SHORT TERM* from now will tell who was RIGHT* and who was WRONG)…
So stay TUNED* folks…
@TMB: “The end-result is what was quoted earlier in this piece: “force majeure of its debt servicing and its admission that it could not longer pay its bills was in part the defacto repudiation of its debt to its creditors…
If debt is a “zero-sum-game” then the question must be asked: who owns (to be very clear: not owes, but owns) all this debt?
Follow the money…
And, for some reason, I don’t believe it leads to any god….
@TMB et al
Your lessons from the Bible are excellent philosophy. However, in the Good Book there is also the story of the TALLONS. This is where 3 people are given money to take care of when someone has to go away for an extended period. The moral was that the guy who put the money to work was favored not the less productive.
You always seem to see the negative of money and while I agree on most of those points the reality is that money can, should be and in some cases is used for good purposes. Why do churches take up collection if money is always evil??? TITHING???
20 yrs ago a couple, in their mid fifties came to me for financial advice. She had 5-7 yrs to live because of cancer and he wanted to retire early to spend some time with her. I did my very best and within 4yrs he was in a position to retire. Indeed the had a great 2-3 yrs and then they discovered he had ALS and he died within a year, she is still alive 20yrs later.
DID I HAVE THE RIGHT APPROACH???
Should I have supplied them with a Bible and sent them on their way????
I do possess a Zimbabwe note for 100 Trillion Zim $$
I also believe in the discipline of Gold backing.
I agree that the economic system being practised over the last many years is wrong, BUT that is because of CORRUPT LEADERSHIP not because of the INCENTIVE BASE. If God is in favour of Communism and Socialism then why have India, China, Brazil and Russia, all switched to more Western economic principles???? WITH SUCCESS!
The truth is that the West is somewhat Socialist anyway.
You are right that Currencies are colapsing BUT is GOLD? GRAINS? Worst inventory of grains since 1974!
The West is too full of corruption BUT where are the good places NOT INDIA! NOT AFRICA and CERTAINLY NOT the CBean! Wherever you have humans you have bastards, crooks etc In every country, class, creed, colour and any other variable. STOP fooling yourselves otherwise.
America sincerely wishes your info about indebtedness was correct! The reality is far worse! the immediate debt is north of $14TR and then when you look at the UNFUNDED liabilities for the pensions of the bulging babyboomers retiring over the next 20 yrs, medicare/ aid etc you are over $75TR+, some project $100TR.
I will not bother to explain the global problem of 1+ QUADRILLION in DERIVATIVES. this is where the REAL WEAPONS of MASS FINANCIAL DESTRUCTION LIES!
@ Moneybrain
Money is a STATIC* inanimate entity with no visible propensity for MORALITY or A-morality… It is the USE* of it that determines outcomes – whether the “LOVE” of it (WHICH IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL SINCE TIME BEGAN) or the serious lack of it (which for the 20% of the world population it is just as much an evil)…
The Parable of the Talents in (Matthew 25:14-30 & Luke 19:12-28) speaks in specific theological terms to the 2nd COMING OF JESUS* and how through a “PARABLE” HE* was teaching HIS* disciples an important spiritual as well a literal lesson in how they must use what they were being entrusted with…
A “TALENT” in the days of Jesus was about equivalent to 20 years worth of wages entrusted into the safekeeping of someone who is meant to be an INVESTOR* who would produce a RIGHTEOUS* return on the INVESTMENT* (hence the Master’s words – “WELL DONE GOOD & FAITHFUL SERVANT”)…
Jesus was entrusting His followers (Disciples) with what was powerful “SPIRITUAL” TREASURES*** of TRUTH (please take note here) which were to be invested into the lives of others less fortunate…
On His return He wanted to see either a 100 FOLD; 60 FOLD or 30 FOLD (percentages in modern parlance) returns on HIS* initial INVESTMENT* which HE* gave them…
The [3] categories of SERVANTS represent the THREE* classes of persons who are respectively given INVESTMENT* capital according to their capacity to handle it… So 5 was equivalent to 3 and 3 equivalent to 1…
If each SERVANT* had doubled his investment – the Lord would have been PLEASED* equally with all [3] of them – but the “ONE” with the [1] talent did not have his HEART* in the right place…
His concerns were not for others – but because of SELFISHNESS* and a root of bitterness, he dug a hole and buried his talent out of unnatural fear for the MASTER* – arguing that HE* was apparently someone who was not as JUST* as all that because HE* operated in ways that were open to scrutiny… A total misrepresentation of the MASTER’S character…
So he was dispossessed of his one talent and it was given the person who had the five and had made [100%] return on his investment…
Jesus then call him a WICKED & EVIL servant* because he clearly not only misrepresented HIS* Master* but had no real value for the lives of others… (How many rich people in our world are like that)…
For you to reference TITHING* in the same breath is totally miscontextualized given that this is a fundamental PILLAR* of the Christian FAITH* and no man can really ROB* God and be free of the curse which is promised…(though many of us are “CURSED” and don’t know it)…
God doesn’t want our money without we 1st offering our ULTIMATE* gift – our LIVES*… The money is merely an expression of our faithful obedience in providing for the work of the GOSPEL* of Christ!!!
Money well used is a TRUE* blessing!!! Money hoarded for selfish, individualistic purposes (as well-intentioned as it may be) is STILL* the “ROOT OF ALL EVIL”…
We have to know when to BLESS* others and when to turn away our hands from EVIL*… Each LIFE* situation is different and must be dealt with based on its merits…
The Bible reminds us that “as good parents, if our children ask us for a bread, we don’t give them a stone, or if they ask for a fish we don’t give them a serpent – and if we know how to give good gifts to our own – then how much HE* (God) is willing to give us when we ask in FAITH*…
What we are witnessing in our world is PURE EVIL* personified in a GLOBAL economic system that CHRIST* must utterly DESTROY* – aided by the “SEEDS” of its own demonic implosion…
The reason this must happen is to re-balance the SCALES* OF LIFE* – for when the LEVELING* comes men will be without excuse!!!

1. Who do you blame most for Adam’s fall? Adam, Eve; or the Serpent?
1.1. All for daring to eat from the Tree of Knowledge?
1.2. So, what, we’re all supposed to remain ignorant if not stupid?
1.2.1. We’re not allowed to ask questions?
2. Why are you referring to “Mount Olympus”?
2.1. Is that not Greek mythology?
3. Isn’t it interesting that those who follow some other religions won’t touch debt with a three-meter-pole, yet seem to be doing rather well currently?
The Shiggar Fraggar Show! [DJ Q-bert,
@ CH
1. Who do you blame most for Adam’s fall? Adam, Eve; or the Serpent?
A. We are taught that each man has to take responsibility for his own actions…
1.1. All for daring to eat from the Tree of Knowledge?
Obedience v Disobedience has consequences… There was no IGNORANCE* that could be argued!!!
1.2. So, what, we’re all supposed to remain ignorant if not stupid?
If you assume through “HUMAN REASONING” that is the case – then you do not fully grasp what God’s original intent was for his created beings…
1.2.1. We’re not allowed to ask questions?
Obedience is not BLIND* to reason or even questions but it OBEYS* the will of HIM* who sets the LAWS* in motion…
2. Why are you referring to “Mount Olympus”?
An allusion to Greek mythology given that commerce, shipping and trade was an ancient Phoenician pillar which built Grecian societies…
2.1. Is that not Greek mythology?
Indeed – but sometimes the line between myth and reality is rather thin…
3. Isn’t it interesting that those who follow some other religions won’t touch debt with a three-meter-pole, yet seem to be doing rather well currently?
Are you speaking about certain MUSLIM* countries? They however have been affected by the economic winds which are blowing…

POWERFUL STATEMENT OF FACT!!!
A Satanic Plot for a One World Government
The World Conspirators: the Illuminati
WHO CONTROLS THE MONIES?
The Pilgrims of Saint Michael firmly believe that the nucleus of all evil stems from those who control the monies of the world, whom we generally refer to as the International Bankers…
But one word we seldom here about, much less understand, is the Illuminati…
The Illuminati are elite men, those on the top, who control the International Bankers to control, for evil purposes, the entire world…
Their agentur are bred, educated, and trained to be placed behind the scenes at all levels of government…
As experts and advisers, they mould government policy so as to further the secret plans of their masters. They lure people away from God by offering them money, the world, the flesh, and the devil…
Those who direct the Illuminati are against Christ and for Satan…
They always remain in the dark, unidentified, and generally unsuspected. They use all peoples to serve their diabolical purposes…
They divide to conquer, supplying arms and money to both sides, instigating people to fight and kill each other, in order to be able to achieve their objectives…
They foster the terrorism of atomic warfare and deliberately cause world famine…
Their primary goal is to form a one world government to have complete control of the entire world, destroying all religions and governments in the process… (Melvin Sickler)
Myron Fagan argues that behind the United States and its Constitution is a small group of men whose sole objective is to enslave the whole world and humanity in their satanic plot for a one world government…
Now to give you a very clear picture of this satanic plot, I will go back to its beginning, back to the middle of the 18th Century, and name the men who put that plot into action…
This satanic plot was launched back in the 1760’s when it first came into existence under the name of the Illuminati…
This Illuminati was organized by one Adam Weishaupt who became a convert to Catholicism and later a Catholic priest (A JESUIT* – an Agency that will be discussed in an upcoming piece)…
Then, at the request of the Financiers, he defected from the Catholic Church, and organized the Illuminati which was financed by the International Bankers… (it was not a DEFECTION* but a realignment)…
Every war since then, beginning with the French Revolution, has been promoted by the Illuminati operating under various names and guises. I say under various names and guises because, after the Illuminati was exposed and became too notorious, Weishaupt and his co-conspirators began to operate under various other names…
But why did the world conspirators chose the word “Illuminati” for their satanic organization? Weishaupt himself said that the word is derived from Lucifer and means «HOLDERS OF THE LIGHT»…
The Luciferian Conspiracy
Weishaupt was a Jesuit-trained professor of Canon Law, teaching in Inglecot University, when he defected from Christianity to embrace the Luciferian conspiracy…
This was in 1770. He began to write out the master plan that was designed to give the Synagogue of Satan, so named by Jesus Christ, ultimate world domination so they could impose the Luciferian ideology on what would remain of the human race after the final social cataclysm by use of satanic despotism…
Weishaupt completed his task on May 1, 1776…
(Communist nations continue to yearly conduct celebrations on May 1st in honor of this great event)…
That was the day Weishaupt officially completed his plan which required the destruction of all existing governments and religions. That objective was to be reached by dividing the masses of people into opposing camps in ever increasing numbers on political, social, economic, and other issues, the very conditions we have in the United States today…
The opposing sides were then to be armed, and incidents were to be provided which would cause them to fight and weaken themselves, gradually destroying national governments and religious institutions…
The plan of operation
The main features of the Weishaupt plan of operation required his Illuminati to do the following things to help them to accomplish their purpose:
1. Monetary and sex bribery was to be used to obtain control of men already in high places in the various levels of all governments and other fields of endeavor. Once influential persons had fallen for the lies, deceits, and temptations of the Illuminati, they were to be held in bondage by application of political and other forms of blackmail, threats of financial ruin, public exposure, and physical harm, even death to themselves and loved members of their families…
2. The Illuminati who were on the faculty of colleges and universities were to cultivate students possessing exceptional mental ability and who belonged to well-bred families with international leanings, and recommend them for special training in Internationalism. Such training was to be provided by granting scholarships, like the Rhodes Scholarship, to those selected by the Illuminati. All such scholars were to be first persuaded and then convinced that men of special talent and brains had the right to rule those less gifted on the grounds that the masses do not know what is best for them physically, mentally, and spiritually…
3. All influential people who were trapped to come under the control of the Illuminati, plus the students who had been specially educated and trained, were to be used as agents and placed behind the scenes of all governments as experts and specialists. They would advise the top executives to adopt policies which would, in the long run, serve the secret plans of the Illuminati’s one world conspiracy, and bring about the destruction of the governments and religions they were elected or appointed to serve…
4. They were to obtain absolute control of the press so that all news and information could be slanted to convince the masses that a one world government is the only solution to our many and varied problems. They were also to own and control all the national radio and TV channels…
After reading these four points of strategy, we have to admit that our mass communications media is controlled at all levels, and that at all levels our governments are also infiltrated and controlled, just like Weishaupt had planned back in the 1700’s…
Unfortunately, few people are aware of this fact, which is why they make little sense out of many of the world events that take place today…
Let us now go back to the first days of the Illuminati…
Because Britain and France were the two greatest world powers in the late years of the 18th century, Weishaupt ordered the Illuminati to foment the colonial wars, including the Revolutionary War in America, to weaken the British Empire. They were also ordered to organize the French Revolution in order to destroy the French Empire…
Weishaupt scheduled the French Revolution to start in 1789. However, in 1784, a true act of God placed the Bavarian Government in possession of evidence which proved the existence of the Illuminati. And that evidence could have saved France if they, the French Government, had not refused to believe it… (M. Fagan)
AN ACT OF GOD
What was this act of God?
Let me explain.
It was in 1784 that Weishaupt had issued his orders for the French Revolution. A German writer named Zwack had put these orders into book form which contained the entire Illuminati story and Weishaupt’s plan…
A copy of this book was sent to the Illuminates in France, who were headed by Robespierre, whom Weishaupt had delegated to foment the French Revolution. The carrier was struck and killed by lightning as he rode on his way from Germany to France. The police found the subversive documents on his body, and turned them over to the proper authorities…
After a careful study of the plot, the Bavarian Government ordered the police to raid Weishaupt’s newly organized “LODGES” of the Grand Orient and homes of his most influential associates…
All additional evidence thus discovered convinced the authorities that the documents were genuine copies of the conspiracy by which the Illuminati planned to use wars and revolutions to bring about the established. (Note: This is exactly in line with the United Nations plot of today)…
In 1785, the Bavarian Government outlawed the Illuminati, and closed the lodges of the Grand Orient…
In 1786, they published all the details of the conspiracy, the English title of that publication being “The Original Writings of the Order and Sect of the Illuminati”…
Copies of the entire conspiracy were sent to all the heads of Church and State in Europe. But the power of the Illuminati was so great that this warning was ignored…
Nevertheless, «Illuminati» became a dirty word, and it went underground…
At the same time, Weishaupt ordered Illuminates to infiltrate into the lodges of Blue Masonry, and form their own secret societies within all secret societies. Only Masons who proved themselves internationalists, and those whose conduct proved they had defected from God, were initiated into the Illuminati…
In order to infiltrate into Masonic Lodges in Britain, Weishaupt invited John Robison over to Europe. Robison was a high degree Mason in the Scottish Rite. He was a professor of natural philosophy at Edinburgh University and secretary of The Royal Society of Edinburgh. Robison did not fall for the lie that the objective of the Illuminati was to create a benevolent dictatorship, but he kept his reaction to himself so well that he was entrusted with a copy of Weishaupt’s revised conspiracy for study and safekeeping…
Because the warnings about the Illuminati were ignored, the Revolution broke out in 1789, as scheduled by Weishaupt…
In order to alert other governments to their danger, Robison published, in 1789, a book entitled “Proof of a Conspiracy to Destroy All Governments and Religions”, but his warnings were also ignored….
The Napoleonic Wars
The men who had directed the French Revolution decided to engage in another international plot. This time they organized the Napoleonic Wars to topple several more of the Crowned Heads of Europe…
One branch of the Financiers financed Napoleon, while another branch financed Britain, Germany, and other nations. Of course, both branches received their orders from the masterminds of the Illuminati…
Immediately after the Napolionic Wars, the Illuminati assumed that all the nations would be so desperate and so weary of wars that they would be glad for any solution…
So the stooges of the Illumiati set up what they called «The Congress of Vienna»…
At this meeting they tried to create the first league of nations, their first attempted one world government. They held the theory that all the Crowned heads of the European Government were so deeply in debt to them that they would willingly or unwillingly serve as their stooges…
But the Czar of Russia caught on to the plot, and completely torpedoed it…
The enraged Financiers then vowed that some day they would destroy the Czar and his entire family…
And this very threat was later accomplished in 1917…
We must bear in mind that the Illumianti was not set up to operate on a short-range basis. Normally, a conspirator of any type enters into a conspiracy with the expectation of achieving his objective during his own lifetime…
But that was not the case with the Illuminati. True, they hoped to accomplish their objective during their lifetime but, paraphrasing “the show must go on”, the Illuminati operates on the very long-range basis…
Whether it will take scores of years or even centuries, they have dedicated their descendants to keep the plot going until they hope the conspiracy is achieved…
The disastrous rebuff at the congress held in Vienna by the Czar of Russia did not by any means destroy the Illuminati conspiracy; it merely forced them to adopt a new strategy…
Realizing that the one world idea was, for the moment, killed, the Illuminati decided that, to keep their power, they would have to tighten their control of the money system of the European nations… (M. Fagan)
TO CONTROL THE ECONOMY
Earlier, the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo had been falsified. The Financiers had spread a story that Napoleon had won that battle, which brought about a panic on the stock market in England…
All stocks had plumped down to practically zero. The International Bankers then bought all the stocks for virtually a penny on its dollar value, which gave them complete control of the economy of Britain and, virtually, of all Europe…
Immediately after the congress held in Vienna, the International Bankers forced Britain to set up a new bank of England, which they controlled absolutely, and which they still control to this very day…
Weishaupt died in 1830, but prior to his death, he prepared a revised version of the age-old conspiracy of the Illuminati, which, under various names, was to organize, finance, direct, and control all international organizations and groups bu working their agents into executive positions at the top…
The Revolutionary Program
In 1848, Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto, under the direction of one group of Illuminists, while Professor Karl Ritter of Frankfurt University wrote the anti-thesis, under the direction of another group of Illuminists…
The idea was that those who direct the overall conspiracy could use the differences of those two so-called ideologies to enable them to divide larger and larger members of the human race into opposing camps so that they could be armed and then brainwashed into fighting and destroying each other. And, in particular, to destroy all political and religious institutions…
The work Ritter started was continued after his death and completed by the German so-called philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche…
Nietzsche helped to develop “RACISM” and then NAZIISM*, which was used to foment World War I and II…
In 1834, the Italian revolutionary leader, Giuseppe Mazzini, was selected by the Illuminati to direct their revolutionary program throughout the world…
He served in that capacity until he died in 1872. But some years before he died, Mazzini had enticed an American general named Albert Pike into the Illuminati…
Pike was fascinated by the idea of a one world government, and ultimately he became the head of this Luciferian conspiracy…
Between 1859 and 1871, Pike worked out a military blueprint for three world wars and various revolutions throughout the world which he considered would forward the conspiracy to its final stage in the 20th Century…
WORLD WARS…
The 1ST World War was to be fought so as to enable the Illuminati to destroy Czarism in Russia, as vowed by the International Bankers after the Czar had torpedoed his scheme at the congress held in Vienna, and to transform Russia into a stronghold of atheistic Communism…
The differences stirred up by agents of the Illuminati between the German and British Empires would be used to foment this war…
After the war would be ended, Communism was to be built up and used to destroy other governments and weaken religions…
The 2ND World War, when and if necessary, was to be fomented by using the controversies between Fascist and Political Zionists…
During this war, International Communism was to be built up until it equaled in strength that of the United Christendom…
When it reached that point, it was to be contained and kept in check until required for the final social cataclysm…
The 3RD World War is to be fomented by using the so-called controversy agents of the Illuminati who would stir up between political Zionists and the leaders of the MUSLIM* world…
That war is to be directed in such a manner that all of Islam and political Zionism, Israel, will destroy each other while, at the same time, the remaining nations, once more divided on this issue, will be forced to fight themselves into a state of complete exhaustion – physically, mentally, spiritually, and economically…
The stage will then be set to put the one world government into operation… (M. Fagan)
A One World Government
In the final phases of the conspiracy, the one world government is to consist of a key dictator – the head of the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations (the Illuminati group in the U.S.), a few billionaires, the Communists, and scientists who have proven their devotion to the great conspiracy…
All others are to be integrated into a vast conglomeration of monopolized humanity, becoming total slaves of the conspiracy…
In the United States, immediately after World War I, the Illuminati set up what they called the Council on Foreign Relations, commonly referred to as the CFR. This CFR is actually the Illuminati now operating in the U.S…
Its hierarchy, the mastermind control of the CFR, to a very great extent, are descendants of the original Illuminati conspirators, even though many of them have changed their names to conceal this fact…
There is a similar establishment of the Illuminati in England, operating under the name of the British Institute of International Affairs…
There are similar secret Illuminati organizations in France, Germany, and other nations operating under different names…
All of these organizations, including the CFR, continuously set up numerous subsidiary or front organizations that are infiltrated into every phase of the various nations affairs…
But at all times, the operation of these organizations were and are masterminded and controlled by the Illuminati… (M. Fagan)
AT THE ROOTS OF ALL THIS ARE “jesuits” WHOSE LONG HISTORY HAS BROUGHT THIS ABOUT…
More to follow in an upcoming article…
STAY TUNED!!!
@TB:
What a load of tosh!!!…lol kidding… keep the info flowing…maybe one or two may grasp the reality and start to fit the pieces together. I can’t believe that the world is literally changing before our eyes, end time prophesies are coming into sharp focus and people are still going about as if all is well.
This world is utterly corrupt, no wonder John said, “5 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For everything in the world–the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does–comes not from the Father but from the world.”
so are you saying all them christian nut jobs and conspiracy theorists were spot on with their wacky stories

If the Cabadian banks were to go south that would be the last piece of the puzzle.

@Sargeant
The Canadian banking system has been touted as the safest in the world since 2008.
If we start to observe cracks as suggested by TB all the end gamers will start to rejoice to see their prediction ring true i.e.the world’s financial markets going to hell in a hand basket.
