Americans Enjoying Final Days of Artificial Economy

National Inflation Association

In recent days, Japan has intervened in the foreign currency market to artificially drive down the value of the yen. Japan's actions to weaken the yen have driven it from 83 to 85.73 against the U.S. dollar. Most analysts in the mainstream media are portraying this as Japan's attempt to "head off a deflation spiral". Almost everybody is applauding Japan's move, saying it was needed in order to "shore up its export-driven economy".

The truth is, although Japan claims to be helping Japanese citizens with this move, Japanese citizens are the ones who will actually suffer. Despite Japan's economy entering into recession last year, the Japanese were able to maintain their same standard of living because prices were falling due to their strong currency. Some of the largest Japanese exporters like Toyota and Sony saw their revenues decline last year by 20.8% and 12.9% respectively, but this was only bad for shareholders of these companies. Despite rapidly declining revenues for Japanese exporters, Japan's unemployment rate only reached a peak of 5.6% last year and is now down to 5.2%.

The Japanese should be happy and grateful for how strong their economy is compared to the U.S. economy. When it comes to exporters in Japan, their problem is not the strong yen, but the weak U.S. dollar. If Japanese exporters allow the U.S. dollar to collapse, their revenues will continue to decline substantially, but that is a healthy part of a free market economy. Within a year or two, a strengthening yen would allow the Japanese to spend more on their own goods, and revenues for Toyota and Sony would come back strong.

Japan's efforts to postpone a few Japanese corporations going through a brief but tough readjustment period are helping to artificially prop up the standard of living for Americans one last time. NIA believes that the Japanese better be careful what they wish for. Never before in world history has nearly every developed country been in battle with each other to have the weakest currency. Asian producing countries want their currencies to be the weakest so that they can have the honor of shipping their products to Americans who can't afford them.

Currencies are very fragile, especially when they are fiat and backed by nothing. NIA believes that nearly all countries around the world with fiat currencies are currently making the grave mistake of doing everything in their power to debase them. Even a five year old child, if you asked them if they want the money in their piggy bank to be worth more or less, would have the common sense to say more. The world's politicians either don't have this same common sense or they are being paid off by the management of export giants.

Although China recently made the wise decision to allow the yuan to strengthen, they haven't allowed the yuan to strengthen fast enough. China is now facing a price inflation crisis that will soon spread to the U.S. Consumer prices in China rose by 3.5% in August compared to one year ago, the largest increase in nearly two years. On a month-over-month basis (including seasonal adjustments), consumer prices in China rose by 4.8% in August over July.

Workers at a Honda plant in China recently went on strike over wages and work conditions. The Chinese have had enough of slaving in factories for $30 per week while Americans sit home on their couches, collect $400 per week in unemployment benefits, and consume the goods that the Chinese make. Chinese manufacturers are now being forced to increase the wages they pay to workers and these costs will be passed on to American importers of Chinese goods like Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart recently eliminated their "rollbacks" on grocery items in the U.S. Grocery prices at Wal-Mart rose by a shocking 5.8% in July from June. In fact, some items in Wal-Mart like a 36-ounce bottle of Windex and a 12-ounce box of Quaker Oats rose in price by 51% and 66% respectively in July over June. Considering that in 29 states, Wal-Mart controls more than half the grocery market, almost all Americans are beginning to feel the effects of massive price inflation.

With 70% of the goods sold in Wal-Mart made in China, NIA believes that Wal-Mart's massive price increases for grocery items will soon spread to all other items sold. It is crystal clear for us to see what is ahead for U.S. prices of consumer goods, yet the mainstream media continues to talk about deflation. Cotton prices have surged 28% during the past two months to their highest level in 15 years. That alone guarantees higher clothing prices, but combined with the wage situation in China, Americans could see an unprecedented surge in clothing prices in the months to come.

A massive outbreak of price inflation is already taking place all around us, as Americans enjoy their final days of our artificial economy that is being propped up by China and Japan. Some people say China and Japan continue to buy and hold U.S. treasuries because of our overpowering military presence, but when they start dumping our treasuries and the bond bubble bursts, the U.S. military regime will come to an end. A U.S. societal collapse is coming and NIA will expose the truth in its over one hour long documentary coming in late-October. This documentary will be talked about around the world for years to come.

If you would like your friends and family members to be the first to see NIA's new upcoming documentary, please tell them to become a member of NIA for free.

The Coming Persecution Of Christians II

by Paul McGuire
Moriel Ministries

There is a coming a wave of persecution against Bible believing Christians in Western nations such as Great Britain, France, Germany, the United States and other nations. The Church in all of these nations is totally unprepared for the level and intensity of the assault that is to come against true Christians. First, of all the primary reason for such persecution is that the Church in Western nations has in many cases forsaken the true God and has turned to false gods. They have chosen to leave the truth of God’s Word for the philosophy of humanism. They call themselves and Christians, but in reality they are worshippers of what Dr. Francis Schaeffer used to call the “gods of personal peace and prosperity.”
Pravda, the leading publication in Russia, which is still a Communist country, published an article by a blogger Mat Rodina. Rodina writes. “American Capitalism Gone with a Whimper,” dated April 24, 2009. Rodina writes, “Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different “branches and denominations” were for the most part little more than Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more than happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the “winning” side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the “winning” side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.”

Like it or not, whatever his motives, what Rodina has written in Pravda is true and this is why we are on the verge of an intense persecution in America and other Western nations. In America, we recently had a Pastor fined in San Diego County for holding a small Bible study in the privacy of his home. A government worker allegedly asked his daughter things like “Do they say Praise the Lord?” Do they sing Christian hymns?” and “Do they pray etc.” By God’s grace it appears this fine will be rescinded but for how long?

In the United States we have Hate Crime legislation that will result in the arrest of thousands of Christians and their pastors, when this legislation is enforced. Hate Crime legislation will shut down entire churches and some pastors will go to prison for preaching the truth of the Gospel. In addition, we have stealth versions of what is called the “Fairness Doctrine” ready to be legislated. This legislation will effectively shut down the preaching of God’s Word when it comes to morality or simply saying, “Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life no man comes to the Father but through Me.”

June 1, 2009 the Associated Press ran an international headline of “Accused killer raged against abortion. The story began by saying, “Ex-wife says suspect in doctor’s murder had virulent anti-government views WICHITA, Kan. – Scott Roeder harbored a burning, “eye-for-an-eye” anger toward abortion doctors. He once subscribed to a magazine suggesting “justifiable homicide” against them, and apparently likened Dr. George Tiller to the Nazi death-camp doctor Josef Mengele.” Now, I do not know of any Bible Christian who would in any way condone, approve of or promote the killing of Dr. George Tiller. I certainly do not, and I have never met anyone who does. But, pay very close attention to the wording of the Associated Press article when it uses terms like “rage against abortion” and “virulent anti-government views.” This is almost word for word the terminology that the Department of Homeland Security uses in classifying a terrorist and it is the legal language defining anyone who could be prosecuted for a “Hate Crime.” If you disagree with the United States government you are now “anti-government” and a terrorist. There is clear cut strategy coming to play here.

The United States Department of Homeland Security, and what are called “Fusion Centers” issued documents which classify individuals or groups who are “pro-life,” “concerned about a single issue like the sanctity of marriage,” “critical of the United Nations,” and groups and people who believe in “End Times Bible Prophecy” are profiled as terrorists and “anti-government.” According to these publications, if you are critical of “Communist countries,” critical of the Federal Reserve,’ “critical of Obama,” critical of the economic prosperity of China and India,” or any other single issue than you are “anti-government” and a “terrorist.”

Now, anyone with a third grade education would understand that this is in clear violation of the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. In America, we have the Constitutional rights of “freedom of religion,” “freedom of the press” and “freedom of speech.” But these Constitutional freedoms are no longer legal certainties because the Constitution is perceived as an “evolving document” and judges are appointed who enact law based on their own feelings and international law. In this Alice in Wonderland legal world, any law is possible. Any law!

The U.S. Government passed legislation for what is called the “Americorps,” which some critics are calling a potential “Hitler Youth Movement.” According to the law, if you are part of a church, attend worship services, sing in a choir or share your faith in Jesus Christ, than you are not allowed to be a part of the Americorps program which means you would be denied certain jobs and government benefits. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

In nations like France, Germany, the United States, Great Britain, Australia and Canada there is sweeping legislation designed to restrict, fine and imprison Christian’s who believe the Bible literally. In Germany you had Christian Home Schooling children seized from their homes and sent away to secret psychiatric hospitals while their Christian mothers were strip searched by “storm troopers.” German police now escort German home schooling children to public school because the German courts have ruled that Germany cannot tolerate “parallel societies,” which simply means that the German government does not want Christian children taught Christian morality and a belief in God. They want all children of the German State, as Hitler did, to be taught humanism and an anything goes sexual “morality.”

Christians must stop being so naïve and understand that this is all part of an organized global plan driven by organizations like UNESCO, the United Nations and international legal documents like the U.N. Convention of the Rights of the Child.

A friend of mine, and prominent Constitutional authority, John Whitehead, founder of the Rutherford Institute, recently wrote a legal opinion of what happens under Martial Law. Under Martial Law, Whitehead explained all of your legal rights are gone. Thus, if you have been arbitrarily labeled a terrorist because you believe in “Bible Prophecy,” you can be arrested without any appeal or trial.

Christian’s in America are very naïve, they have little or no understanding of the realities of history. What happened in Nazi Germany, can easily happen here. In fact, there are many disturbing parallels between what is happening here economically, theologically and politically and what happened during the Weimar Republic.

This is how it will play out. You are beginning to see very quickly two kinds of Christians emerge in the United States and Europe. First, you will see an “Emergent Church,” that goes with the flow of humanistic secularism. In Nazi Germany, the term “Emerging Theology” was a term that was actually used. This will become the State approved Church, like the one Hitler approved of in Germany and currently exists in China. This type of Christian Church will be approved by a totalitarian state because it will empower that state through its complicity. Secondly, you will have the true Bible believing Church that will be persecuted because it stands for Biblical truth. This true Church will largely be driven underground as it is in China.

It is absolutely crucial that we perceive current events through the lens of Scripture. The Bible is very clear about what is going to happen in the last days. There will be a one world economic system, a one world government and a one world religion. All of that “Beast” system is emerging before our very eyes. Christian pastors and individual Christians who believe that they will find safety through accommodation to the culture are no different than the Jews who believe that giving up land will bring about peace. Both Christians who claim to know their Bible and Jews who believe a two-state solution and surrendering Jerusalem will lead to peace and safety will quickly discover that accommodation leads to persecution, death and slaughter. Let us remember that both Jews and Christians were saying right up until their deaths “it can’t happen here.” This is what most American Christians are saying, “It can’t happen here.”

The fate of Israel and the fate of the Christian Church are inexorably linked together. The failure to stand for Israel by the Christian Church in America could easily lead to a terrorist attack which would bring in Martial Law and terrible persecution.

In America I constantly here Christians say that “we are going to be Raptured out of here” before any of that happens. That is not sound exegesis. I believe the Bible teaches a Pre-Tribulation Rapture. I believe that Christ, the Bridegroom, is coming to get His Bride, the Church before the seven year Tribulation Period occurs. I do not believe that the Church will be here during the Tribulation and I do not believe that the Church will see the revealing of the Antichrist. But, we must remember that Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul never taught that the Rapture was strictly an American Rapture. The Bible does not teach that the minute things get difficult in “America” that God is going to Rapture the American Church. The Bible simply does not teach this. Persecution and tribulation (not the Tribulation Period) are coming very quickly and the American Church, especially, must be prepared in practical ways. The Bible does not teach fatalism. It matters very much to God what we do now. Jesus Christ said, “Occupy until I come.” That word occupy has many implications, which does not include attempting to establish a theocracy. Jesus is coming very soon! Israel is God’s prophetic time clock. The nation s are about to be judged. But, we have been called to minister the Gospel Jesus Christ fearlessly. However, we must wake up! The hour is far later than we think. The Bridegroom cometh. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus!

The Coming Persecution of Christians in the Coming One World Government

by Paul McGuire
Moriel Ministries

My spiritual mentor, Dr. Francis Schaeffer, who has been called the greatest Evangelical theologian of the last 100 years, warned that as the anarchy increased in our world due to moral relativism, that totalitarianism would rise to control the chaos. Schaeffer issued that warning over 30 years ago and said we had a brief window in which to preserve our religious freedoms. Dr. Schaeffer believed that the greatest contributing factor to the rise of totalitarianism was the fact that the Evangelical Church was accommodating to a growing humanist culture and not standing for Biblical truth. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the “Emergent Church Movement” and in the “Seeker-Friendly Movement,” but it is epidemic in the Evangelical culture as a whole. Tragically, what Schaeffer predicted would happen in the church and the culture is now happening before our eyes. Schaeffer stated that it did not matter whether or not the totalitarianism came from the left or the right because the results would be the same.
With tears in my eyes, the words of Dr. Schaeffer reverberate in my mind, as I watch the rise of a global totalitarian state and the great apostasy that the Apostle warned about in II Thessalonians. For the most part the Evangelical Church in America and Europe is the Laodecian Church that Christ warned of in the Book of Revelation. It is this the same Laodecian Church that existed in Nazi Germany before the Third Reich took control. The result of the Laodecian Church is the explosive growth of a humanist and world socialist government. This “Fourth Beast” which Daniel warned about will persecute true Bible believing Christians in America, Great Britain and around the world before the Tribulation begins. The Church is raptured before a literal Seven year Tribulation Period, but prior to that time there will be worldwide persecution in a manner that I do not believe most Evangelical Churches and their leaders are prepared for.

In the United States, The Department of Homeland Security issued its “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment” Report. In addition, in many States, like Missouri, “Fusion Centers” have been set up based on the MIAC Strategic Report – The Modern Militia Movement. This Government Report alleges that a violent “rightwing extremist” movement is trying to take over the nation. According to the definitions in these reports, Bible believing Christians are labeled as “rightwing extremists.” The two reports appear to be anti-Christian propaganda created by left-wing and militant humanist “think tanks.” Their strategies are reminiscent of Adolph Hitler’s “Enabling Powers” laws which the occult Third Reich used after the “Reichstag (Parliament building) was burned down by “terrorists. These “Enabling Powers” gave Hitler the legal power to profile and arrest anyone who was even suspected of being critical of the Nazi Party. Through using the “Enabling Powers” laws to profile anyone as a potential terrorist, Hitler was able to grab dictatorial control of Germany in a matter months and killing 6-10 million Jews and Christians.

Many civil liberties groups such as the ACLU and the Rutherford Institute headed, by the Attorney John Whitehead have of expressed grave concerns about the increasing “Police State” powers that began with the Bush Administration under the guise of anti-terrorist legislation. Today a vast array of government agencies are using a wide range of anti-terrorist legalization to profile and track law abiding citizen’s in something out of George Orwell’s novel “1984” which warned of the danger of totalitarianism built on the fear of terrorism. Orwell who was connected with the British Intelligence Agency MI5 saw the dangers of a global intelligence apparatus and attempted to warn the world about it before it was too late.

The DHS “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment” appears to target and profile taxpaying and law abiding Americans who are conservative, populist politically, or Christian in their religious faith. The Report profiles all American’s who disagree with plans for world currency and a new world order. Millions of American’s are being profiled as terrorists, bomb-making militia members and white supremacists simply because they are critical of certain institutions that are technically completely separate from the American government. For example, American’s who express criticism of world government, the new world order, the United Nation, the North American Union, the Federal Reserve, RFID technology and foreign nations like Russia, India and China can be profiled as “rightwing extremists,” even though all of these things are theoretically separate from the U.S. government. In addition, even if these entities did have something to do with the U.S. Government, U.S. citizen’s have a Constitutional right under the First Amendment to peacefully, and in a law abiding manner exercise their freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of the press without fear government interference.

In addition, in a manner very similar to the Hitler Youth, the Congress of the United States is passing a bill that is referred to as “Obama Youth Bill.” This bill will put millions of young people in the streets of America to act as agents for Obama. Yet, in the legal language of the bill there are many passages which forbid any young man or woman who is a practicing Christian and attends church, volunteers for church ministries, attends or leads worship services and Bible studies or shares his or her faith in Christ from being part of this “Obama Youth” or national service corps. In other words, practicing Christians are not allowed to become a part of the national service corps. Based on the history of the Hitler Youth, it is not difficult to understand why this is put in the national service corps bills.

For all the Evangelical Pastors who promoted President Obama, look carefully at the language of the bill. This bill’s title is called “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education” (GIVE). It forms what some are calling “Obama’s Youth Brigade” and his goal is to enroll over one million youth. But, look at the anti-Christian nature of the bill.

The Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in “engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.” That means no church attendance or sharing your faith.

Here is part of the HR1388 Bill’s wording:

SEC. 1304. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
Section 125 (42 U.S.C. 12575) is amended to read as follows:
SEC. 125. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
(7) Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.

In other words Christians would not be allowed to be part of this Obama Youth Movement. Why do you think that is? Dr. Orly Taitz, is a female attorney who lives in Mission Viejo, California. She is also a dentist and speaks five languages. According to an interview she gave in WorldNetDaily, she was born and raised in Kishinev, the capital of the Republic of Moldova, a country in Eastern Europe that was formerly part of the Soviet Union. She compares the “Obama Youth Bill” to the Soviet Union which used children for slave labor and indoctrination.

Dr. Taitz said, “Parents were not allowed to home school their children. They were forced to enroll them in government schools. From the age of 6, all children were required to become young communists. You had to send your child to school, and your child had to be a member of the young communists,” Taitz said. “There were no children who were not members. You had to do it. If you were one of the best, you become a member of the Communist Party. It was constant brainwashing. There was no choice, and people resented that. They were scared to speak up.”

There are parallels between what happened in the Soviet Union and Nazi, Germany and what is happening in America now. Bible believing Christians are being profiled as dangerous “rightwing extremists.” In Communist China churches and Christians are not allowed to preach or teach on Bible prophecy. In the same way Christians who believe in “end time’s prophecies” are to be profiled. The same thing is now happening in America.

These “unnamed” “rightwing extremists, a term which is used over 47 times appears to profile any taxpaying U.S. citizen who may hold one or more of the following beliefs and could be classified on an elaborate government computer network as a “rightwing extremist, militia member or terrorist. Any one of the following beliefs could classify an individual or groups as a terrorist:

•Pro-life
•Critical of the United Nations
•Critical of the New World Order
•Critical of the Federal Reserve
•Homosexual marriage
•Oppose the North American Union (which officially does not exist)
•Critical of the income tax
•Oppose illegal immigration
•Fear foreign powers such as Communist China, Iran, Russia and India
•If you are concerned that China and India are prospering economically while America is on the down turn
•Critical of any of President Obama’s policies ( abortion, homosexual marriage. etc. )
•Concern about RFID chips
•Belief in Bible prophecy or “End Time Prophecies”
What is interesting about the above list is that a great deal with it has to do with things that have nothing to do with the individual nation. The only possible reason any national government would be concerned about its citizen’s objecting to things like new world order, world government, the United Nations, homosexual marriage, a regional global government like the North American Union, abortion, RFID chips and belief in end times prophecies is because this is what they are planning to promote in the near future. Otherwise why be bothered about it?

I would suggest to you that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled far faster than most of us realize and that this why governments around the world are concerned about these things.

Make no mistake about it across the U.S., Europe, Australia and other regions, Bible believing Christian are going to be persecuted before the Tribulation Period. However many Christians and Christian leaders think that if they “give up land for peace,” they will be left alone. That does not work for Israel and it will not work for the Church. Getting up and apologizing on national television for supporting traditional marriage as some American ministers have done, is not going to earn you acceptance from the world. Anymore than Israel giving up land for peace has brought about an end to terrorism. The answer is to obey the words of Jesus Christ when He tells us to “occupy until I come.” This is not a plea for a kind of Christian reconstructionism, it is simply Jesus telling us to faithfully proclaim the truth in season and out of season until He comes for His Church. Maranatha!

Government Using Anti-Terror Laws To Crush Dissent

Washington's Blog

The following quotes all have something in common:

"It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error"
– United States Supreme Court decision in American Communications Association v. Douds

"To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men."
- Abraham Lincoln

"Those who give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Ben Franklin

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
- Thomas Jefferson

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."
-Thomas Jefferson

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
- Robert F . Kennedy

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."
- Samuel Adams

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."
– Teddy Roosevelt

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
– Teddy Roosevelt

“The citizen who sees his society’s democratic clothes being worn out and does not cry it out, is not a patriot, but a traitor.”
- Mark Twain

"Liberty has never come from government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of government power, not the increase of it."
- Woodrow Wilson

"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent"
- Thomas Jefferson


"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it."
- Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural

"In this point of the case the question is distinctly presented whether the people of the United States are to govern through representatives chosen by their unbiased suffrages or whether the money and power of a great corporation are to be secretly exerted to influence their judgment and control their decisions."

- Andrew Jackson

"I am more than ever convinced of the dangers to which the free and unbiased exercise of political opinion -- the only sure foundation and safeguard of republican government -- would be exposed by any further increase of the already overgrown influence of corporate authorities."
- Martin Van Buren, Eighth President of the United States

"As we view the achievements of aggregated capital, we discover the existence of trusts, combinations, and monopolies, while the citizen is struggling far in the rear or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel. Corporations, which should be the carefully restrained creatures of the law and the servants of the people, are fast becoming the people's masters."
- Grover Cleveland, 22nd and 24th President of the United States

"I again recommend a law prohibiting all corporations from contributing to the campaign expenses of any party.… Let individuals contribute as they desire; but let us prohibit in effective fashion all corporations from making contributions for any political purpose, directly or indirectly." Teddy Roosevelt added, "The fortunes amassed through corporate organization are now so large, and vest such power in those that wield them, as to make it a matter of necessity to give to the sovereign -- that is, to the Government, which represents the people as a whole -- some effective power of supervision over their corporate use. In order to insure a healthy social and industrial life, every big corporation should be held responsible by, and be accountable to, some sovereign strong enough to control its conduct."
- Theodore Roosevelt

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower

"It was natural and perhaps human that the privileged princes of these new economic dynasties, thirsting for power, reached out for control over government itself. They created a new despotism and wrapped it in the robes of legal sanction. ...And as a result the average man once more confronts the problem that faced the Minute Man....
- Franklin Roosevelt

"A small group had concentrated into their own hands an almost complete control over other people's property, other people's money, other people's labor -- other people's lives. For too many of us life was no longer free; liberty no longer real; men could no longer follow the pursuit of happiness."
- Franklin Roosevelt

"These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for."
- Franklin Roosevelt


"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day."
- Theodore Roosevelt

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
-Thomas Jefferson, American Declaration of Independence

What do the quotes all have in common?

The great Americans who said them would be considered terrorists today.


Specifically, according to Department of Defense training manuals, protest is considered "low-level terrorism". And see this, this and this.

An FBI memo also labels peace protesters as "terrorists".


Indeed, police have been terrorizing children, little old ladies and other "dangerous" people who attempted to protest peacefully.

And a 2003 FBI memo describes protesters' use of videotaping as an "intimidation" technique, even though - as the ACLU points out - "Most mainstream demonstrators often use videotape during protests to document law enforcement activity and, more importantly, deter police from acting outside the law." The FBI appears to be objecting to the use of cameras to document unlawful behavior by law enforcement itself.

The Internet has been labeled as a breeding ground for terrorists, with anyone who questions the government's versions of history being especially equated with terrorists.

The government is also using anti-terrorism laws to keep people from learning what pollutants are in their own community. See this, this, this and this.


Claims of "national security" are also used to keep basic financial information - such as who got bailout money - secret. That might not bode for particularly warm and friendly treatment for someone persistently demanding the release of such information.


The state of Missouri tried to label as terrorists current Congressman Ron Paul and his supporters, former Congressman Bob Barr, libertarians in general, anyone who holds gold, and a host of other people.

And according to a law school professor, pursuant to the Military Commissions Act:


Anyone who ... speaks out against the government's policies could be declared an "unlawful enemy combatant" and imprisoned indefinitely. That includes American citizens.

The Founding Fathers, Supreme Court justices and presidents quoted above would vigorously protest.

Note: Government apologists are also eager to label anyone "taking a cynical stance toward politics, mistrusting authority, endorsing democratic practices, ... and displaying an inquisitive, imaginative outlook" as worthy of a Stalinist trip to the insane asylum. I guess the famous Americans quoted above were not only terrorists, but they were also crazy.

US Post Office Quoting The New Global Currency Reserve - SDR Conversions To The Dollar

By Ray Gano
http://prophezine.blogspot.com

Several days ago I reported to the PZ Insiders a move by the IMF (International Money Fund) to decouple itself from the dollar and suggest a move to a global currency.
This will take place in stages, the first phase being the acceptance of what is called SDR (Special Drawing Rights)
The SDR is the suggested currency based on 30 commodities, including gold, metals, foodstuff, oil. Banks and financial institutions are using the SDR as a form of Global Reserve Currency (GRC) at this very moment.
Because most of the world's currencies are very unstable at this day and time, a form of a common method of exchange needs to be put in place.
Example - I purchase an item from Italy for $500.00. To pay for it I need Euros. So I purchase Euros and get 393.00 Euros, which is today's rate. In the time that I made the exchange to the time I have gone to purchase the product, the dollar has lost more ground and it will now take even more dollars to buy the item, thus I need to convert more Dollars into Euros. This goes on and on and finally I give up purchasing the product.
Now, if I convert my dollars to SDRs, then I have a common method of exchange that will hold its value and I can then purchase my item from Italy. The Italian merchant takes the SDRs and then converts them over to Euros. Everyone is happy, I get my product, they get their Euros.
The problem is that US dollars need to be converted over to SDR as a method of exchange. The receiver then converts back to their currency or to the dollar after the exchange is made. This is still cumbersome, but the use of the SDR is the first steps that need to take place so that a full fledged global reserve currency can be introduced.
Here is the issue at hand, the IMF sees the best way to ensure the stability of the international monetary system is actually launching a global currency. They of course are going to allow a "Crisis" to take effect so that the people will be more than happy to dump the worthless dollar, Euro, etc and accept a global currency.
Debt is killing the major powers, that is a fact. The ongoing buildup of such debt only makes the global monetary system increasingly vulnerable to the shocks of the rising and dipping currencies. It is a process that is "ultimately unsustainable for all," says the IMF. (1)
Here is how the IMP states this…
The global crisis of 2008/09, for all its costs, has not jeopardized international monetary stability, and the IMS is not on the verge of collapse. That said, the current system has serious imperfections that feed and facilitate policies—of reserves accumulation and reserves creation—that are ultimately unsustainable and, until they are reversed, expose the system to risks and shocks that a reformed system could minimize. (1)
All in all, the IMF believes there has simply been too much reserve hoarding going on:
Reserve accumulation has accelerated dramatically in the past decade, particularly since the 2003-4. At the end of 2009, reserves had risen to 13 percent of global GDP, doubling from their 2000 level, and over 50 percent of total imports of goods and services. Emerging market holdings rose to 32 percent of their GDP (26 percent excluding China). Twenty-seven of the top 40 reserve holders, accounting for over 90 percent of total reserve holdings, recorded doubledigit average growth in reserves over 1999-2008.
Holdings have also become increasingly concentrated, with over half the total held by only five countries. These numbers exclude substantial foreign assets of the official sector not recorded as reserves, including in sovereign wealth funds (SWFs), and yet invested in liquid, dollar denominated financial instruments, that have grown even more in recent years. (1)
This is not a good thing in the eyes of the IMF. They want the control, not have that control of the money in the hands of the five countries.
So in the end, a global currency makes the most sense.
The IMF paper concludes — "especially since the SDR is currently just an accounting tool that draws on the freely usable currencies of member states , not an actual currency itself."
So it is very possible that the IMF's special drawing rights (SDRs) will become the world's reserve currency.
But here is the real news and why I mention all of this.
From the US Postal Website:
323.6 Preparation of Insured Priority Mail International Parcels
323.61 Mailing Receipt and Insurance Number
All Priority Mail International insured parcels must be numbered. PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note — CP 72, and the mailing receipt issued at the time of mailing will serve as proof of mailing and proof of insurance. Volume mailers may use PS Form 3877, Firm Mailing Book for Accountable Mail, as the sender’s receipt.
323.62 Accepting Clerk’s Responsibility
The accepting clerk must do the following:
- Indicate on PS Form 2976-A the amount for which the parcel is insured. Write the amount in U.S. dollars in ink in the “Insured Amount (U.S.) block.”
- Convert the U.S. dollar amount to the special drawing right (SDR) value and enter it in the SDR value block. For example:
INSURED VALUE
$100.00 (U.S.)
65.76 SDR
See Exhibit 323.62 for a table showing the conversion of U.S. dollar values up to $600 to SDR equivalents. To determine SDR equivalents above $600, multiply the insured amount, rounded up to the next full dollar, by the conversion factor of 0.6576.
Note: Use the following rates when converting between U.S. dollars and SDR values:
1 U.S. $ = 0.6576 SDR
1 SDR = $1.52 ($1.5206 U.S.)
Write a bold capital “V” in the space provided adjacent to the boxes for Insured Amount and Insurance Fees as an indicator that additional insurance was purchased.
Indicate special contents for fragile, liquid, and perishable items.
Round stamp PS Form 2976-A in the appropriate place on each copy. (2)
Yep, the US Post Office is now quoting SDR to Dollar conversion rates.
We also know that the IMF is pushing to replace the US Dollar (GRC) to the SDR the new Global Reserve Currency.
BUT that is not all…
The IMF also stated that once the SDR is established they are then going to move to introduce to the masses the "Bancor."
48. From SDR to bancor. A limitation of the SDR as discussed previously is that it is not a currency. Both the SDR and SDR-denominated instruments need to be converted eventually to a national currency for most payments or interventions in foreign exchange markets, which adds to cumbersome use in transactions.
And though an SDR-based system would move away from a dominant national currency, the SDR’s value remains heavily linked to the conditions and performance of the major component countries. A more ambitious reform option would be to build on the previous ideas and develop, over time, a global currency. Called, for example, bancor in honor of Keynes, such a currency could be used as a medium of exchange—an “outside money” in contrast to the SDR which remains an “inside money”. (1)
So the SDR will remain as the "inside money" and the Bancor will be an "outside money" or the money that you and I will use; at least that is their plan.
Push For The Bancor
Arkady Dvorkevich, the Kremlin's chief economic adviser, said Russia would favour the inclusion of gold bullion in the basket-weighting of a new world currency based on Special Drawing Rights issued by the International Monetary Fund.
Chinese and Russian leaders both plan to open debate on an SDR-based reserve currency as an alternative to the US dollar at the G20 summit in London this week, although the world may not yet be ready for such a radical proposal. (3)
So there it is folks, both Chinese and Russian leaders plan to open debate on an SDR-based reserve currency as an alternative to the US dollar at the G20 summit in London this week.
Is the world ready for a global currency?
Yes and no. I believe what needs to take place is a economic crisis that will push the masses into accepting a new Global Reserve Currency (GCR).
Right about now there are some of you probably flipping out making jumps in your mind from SDR to the Bancor to the Mark of the Beast.
Well you are partially correct, but the introduction of a global currency is not AND I REPEAT IS NOT, the mark of the beast.
What SDRs and Bancor does is these forms of monetary exchange take people one more step towards a completely controlled financial beast system.
Remember when the banks introduced the ATM card and the personal PIN #?
I remember when all the gas pumps started to change and be replaced with "Pay at the Pump" capabilities. Not only would these pumps take credit cards, but you can also use your ATM card and enter in your PIN to make a purchase of gasoline.
All the folks in the Bible Prophecy arena were talking about ATMS and PIN #. The gossip was that next we would get tattoos of bar codes across our foreheads encoding our PIN and bank account numbers.
Well, that did not take place, neither did biochips get embedded with our pin number either.
After a while the masses used their ATM cards everywhere, from buying groceries, to getting a Big Mac an fries at McDonalds. In fact I bet that today you have used your Debit / Credit Card for some purchase and did not think one thing about it.
That is what is going to happen with SDRs and Bancor. We are going to be introduced to it sometime down the road after some financial crisis, people are going to either reject it at first, like many did with the ATM card or people will flock to it.
Eventually the Bancor will become the Global Reserve Currency, we will all use it and in the end think nothing of it like the Debt / Credit card we use daily.
BUT… now that the masses have effectively accepted the Bancor, this then opens the door to the use of a biometric ID system that is now being put in place in all of India.
Aadhaar to launch in the next few weeks, starts from Andhra
Unique Identification Authority aims to issue the numbers to 100 million people in the current fiscal year
New Delhi: The government is ready to allot the first batch of unique identification (UID) numbers under a project that aims to give every Indian resident easier access to e-governance and a range of other services.
Set up in June 2009, UIDAI had promised to issue the first batch of UID numbers—based on residents’ personal and biometric details, such as fingerprints and eye scans—between August and February. Six other Andhra Pradesh districts will be covered in the initial phase.
Users will eventually have to use the UID number to access government services such as the public distribution system for essential food items, as well as welfare programmes such as the rural job guarantee scheme. The number will also allow residents who do not have passports, driving licences or other forms of identification—particularly people from rural areas—open bank accounts, apply for loans and access other financial services.
UID numbers will be sent out as letters to each resident. One part of the letter will carry the resident’s name, address and the 12-digit UID number. The second part will have the resident’s photograph along with personal details such as sex and date of birth, and a linear barcode that contains the UID number. (4)
The UID / UIN is already the "norm" it does not use a biochip, nor does it use a tattoo, you yourself are your own means of identification. Your iris scan, finger / thumb / hand print, facial geometry, these and other forms are what is being proposed as the ultimate form of identification.
Now I do believe that once the Antichrist comes onto the scene, that the Mark of the Beast is 3 fold instrument of the antichrist. It is the proof of economic, political and religious allegiance.
1. You give your allegiance and soul to an economical system.
2. You give your allegiance and soul to a political system.
3. You give your allegiance and soul to a religious system.
When the mark of the beast is put in place, the individual will accept whole heartedly and with his or her soul an economical, political and religious system. The mark of the beast must meet all three.
For example in World Net Daily article, GOP star to get chip implant
Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson has volunteered to get an RFID electronic chip implant to show the world just how safe the new technology is.
The former secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services in President Bush's first term sees it as a potentially life-saving move because the chip will have details of his medical history should he ever be in an accident.
Thompson will be among the first humans to get the chip. Pets have been routinely chipped at pounds and veterinarians' offices in recent years. (5)
In having a biochip implanted, Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson did not take the mark of the beast. The reason is that it did not meet all the necessary requirements that are needed to be “The Mark of The Beast.” He did not pledge his allegiance and his soul to a political system, economic system or religious system. Now I think that he was rather foolish in doing this, but he did not receive the mark of the beast.
The reason that I say that the implantable biochip is NOT the mark of the beast is for several reasons
· I feel that when the mark is taken, it is something that the people of that time and of that mindset are going to be very proud to do. Remember that this will be a very powerful thing taking place. There will be religious ceremony, political pride etc. These individuals are giving their allegiance and soul to the Antichrist. The mere narcissistic nature of the Antichrist will not allow for anything else. He will want to rub this in God’s face. I can just hear him say “See God, See! These are MY followers! NOT YOURS!” So this will be something of major importance to the world and to the people in that time who take the mark.

· The implantable biochip is something that is just as it is called, implanted. Meaning; that it is going to be placed deep under the surface of the skin. There is no sign of one taking the mark, no way to recognize a person who has the mark and no unity just because of an implant. Only way one knows if they have received a biochip / mark is if their biochip is “read” from a sensor or reader someplace.

· The biochip in and of itself is not tamper proof and also there is no means for true authentication of the person and the biochip. It is only the biochip. Just imagine someone who is living during that time, they could find someone who had a chip, cut it out and presto, they can now move around freely although they would still need the chip to buy and sell.

· Lithium leakage if capsule were broken could cause serious sores. Now this matches scripture in those who take the mark develop sores, but sores can develop from other things too.


· In a world of lawsuits and litigation any company that would be the producer of this item would face a global throng of lawyers filing suits bankrupting the production company making it impossible for a company to even produce something like this and implement it.

· Finally, the logistics to ensure that every man, woman and child is given a bio chip is an nearly an impossible feat globally in the allotted amount of time, 3.5 years. But this is assuming that the Antichrist even has a full 3.5 years. Even with a full 3.5 years, the "chipping" of every human globally would pretty much be and impossible logistical feat.
I cannot say what will be the mark of the beast, I have always thought that it would be a holographic RFID tattoo, but many of the logistics that prevent a bio-chip would also hamper a tattoo, especially in dealing with legal issues and the throngs of lawyers.
This is why a biometric solution makes clear sense. You already own your finger, hand, iris print or any other form of geometrically measuring your own body. Even if your right hand is cut off, there is still the ability to utilize biometrics to identify who you are.
What I do know is that SDR and Bancor is not the mark, it is just another puzzle piece that is being dropped in so that when the mark finally appears, man's inhibitions against such a draconian idea will be beaten down. We clearly see what John, Daniel and the other prophets of the bible wrote coming to pass right before our eyes.
Knowing this and knowing the path that must be taken to achieve this, it is also clear that we as Christian may be here longer than what some are teaching. Look how long it took for man to fully accept plastic money and Debit / Credit card transactions at a drop of the hat. The jump from this to a global reserve currency is quiet a jump. Man will have to be eased into accepting this solution.
Even with the rapture taking place, I do not see freedom loving individuals who are left behind and still maintain conservative ideas jumping on the Bancor band wagon overnight. Those who have been left behind would fight this, privacy advocates, US patriots, believers in the US constitution, etc would not submit; and that is just looking at people here in the US. There are many more freedom advocates globally that would not accept something like this over night either. It goes against the grain of man to have to submit to something so sudden. Man needs to be gently eased into a change such as this.
Now I may be wrong in my psychological assumptions, but I do know many who claim to be freedom lovers and are not Christian and these individuals do tow that mindset. It is man's instinct to dig his heels in before being forced into submission.
Couple this "obstacle" with the fact that still billions have no knowledge of God, Jesus Christ or even the Bible, I see that our mission here is still clearly not finished.
So, we cannot say with 100% assurance that the rapture will take place before a financial disaster takes place in the US.
I don’t know about you but I do not have an all seeing crystal ball telling me when God is going to take His bride home tomorrow, next week, next month or next year. Therefore we need to prepare for this coming storm no matter what because God commanded us to Occupy Till He Returns.
I say all of this because I believe that we will face hardship in America. A financial disaster will take place here and I believe it will take place soon. It is as if we are being herded towards a direction that the powers behind the curtain want us to go. To push the herd, crisis will be used as it always has been in history. But push the herd to hard or too fast and you will lose control and that is what the powers that be do not want to lose full control of… the power.
So it will take time to implement a global currency like the SDR and Bancor. It will be slowly introduced till one day we will no longer have the US Dollar, Swiss Franc, British Pound or any other sovereign currency, we will all use one global currency and through this become slaves to the powers that control the money.
We have forgotten oldest rule in the book, those who have the gold make the rules. By adopting the SDR and Bancor the world will be beholding to those who have the gold. Those individuals are the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and we will then be turned into surfs.
This will be a foreshadow of what the Antichrist's reign will be like. Sounds bad now, living under the Antichrist will be many times far worse.
