Wizard of Oz

I have never watched the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz" from start to finish.  What I did see though, was, I think, a clever metaphor for an interesting aspect of humanity.  We do not want to be disappointed by our heroes, our clerics or our government.  Who would have thought that Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Bakker, Bill Clinton and Tiger Woods were committing adultery?  Who, among the Mormon faithful, would want to discover that the beloved 'prophet', Thomas Monson, has not had any revelations or prophecies?

Still, we press on gullibly.  I was reading yesterday about the three huge bombs found in the Oklahoma City federal building on the day that it was blown up.  Local news reports made no mention of a Ryder truck.  A federal government representative at the time commented that people simply need to have more faith and trust in the integrity of the federal government.

On 9/11/01, the WTC twin towers crashed to the ground.  At some distance away, WTC Building 7 remained largely unscathed, except for having been pelted with some flying, burning debris.  The owner decided, however, that this minor damage to the building warranted its immediate demolition, and called for the building to be "pulled" (code for planned demolition). So, a few hours after buildings 1 and 2 mysteriously imploded, Building 7 collapsed neatly into its own footprint.  Even more bizarre is the fact that a British reporter announced that the building had collapsed 20 minutes before it really did.  If you are not hopelessly gullible, you must already understand that WTC Building 7 could not have imploded without someone having gone in there days earlier and placed demolition explosives. 

I saw a newsflash yesterday announcing that the Japanese government is issuing a stimulus.  If all of the Western nations are over-extended with borrowing, who is lending them money? - - Cuba, North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, Germany?  The U.S. just hit the $16 Trillion debt mark, and recent articles report that China's debts rival U.S. debt, so who is lending all this money to these huge nations, and, if those nations don't pay up, how will that "WHO" collect on the delinquencies?

Come on! We both know that if you tally up the debt/credit balances of all the borrower nations, they don't add up to zero $$.  The people lending to the countries are not the countries - it is private bankers - private bankers who lend to corporations AND to governments.  When those banker families lend those governments as much money as there is in circulation in the entire nation, then there are no more shekels left with which to pay the INTEREST !!!!!  Then what?  You know what !!!!

They print more paper money.  Last week Bernanke announced QE3.  What is that?  QE3 (Quantitative Easing) is the third instance (in recent history) of the Federal Reserve (a private bank) printing BILLIONS of funny-money notes.  QE3 will involve the Fed buying $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities each month.  Counterfeiting would be a better description.  When you expand the supply of paper money, its value shrinks, you get SCREWED, and gas and food prices rise.  Just you watch !!

Once again, I ask you - WHY do not the borrower nations (who are doomed to never be able to pay back their gargantuan debts) rise up and repudiate the banker families who have swindled them/us?

Because they are in on the scam, silly!

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.  Will Obama or Romney be the Fiddler on the roof this time around?  (And will the Wizard of Oz salvage us?)

Does He Know?

Does Mitt Romney know what's going on in the world of international usury?  I was fascinated during the last presidential election cycle to learn that Balack Obama and Hillary Clinton were whisked away to a secretive meeting with the Bilderberg group in 2008.

With his V.P. pick (Paul Ryan), Romney may have boosted his chances of being elected.  The big question is - since Bush and Obama have really not been the ones actually running the country for the last decade, will Romney be introduced to the shadowy figures who do run it?  OR - is Romney already intimately familiar with the puppeteers behind the curtain?  When, in the course of a presidential run, is the candidate initiated into the real world of power and control?

Does Mitt Romney know that the British never surrendered?  Does he know that a Constitution is a bankruptcy compact?  Does he know that this nation CANNOT endure (D&C 87:6)?

I met Romney once in an elevator.  I wondered then if he had already been initiated into the inner workings of the Church, and the Olympic Committee, and the rogue money-mongers who print debt currencies and plot to enslave the entire world.

Does he know?

A Metaphor

I just went to see the new movie, IN TIME, with Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and Cillian Murphy.  Apart from a few inconsistencies, the movie was actually good.  I give it a 7 out of 10, and I told my teenagers to go and see it.

The plot had several interesting twists, and the movie's main concept was clever.  In the characters' world, people older than 25 have only one more year to live, unless they can earn more time.  As the story develops, we learn that powerful international forces have manipulated the availability and cost of the extra time the people so desperately want.  In truth, there is more than enough "time"-currency to go around, but its distribution is manipulated, creating a class division in society - "have's" and "have-not's".

The metaphor for our current global banking/financial system is unmistakable and, may-I-say, brilliantly conceived.

I came away with some searching questions about the management of our planet (and the whole universe for that matter).  What I found especially a propos is the idea that values, human efforts, costs, and pricing can all be manipulated - stretching the precious resources for the powerful, and constricting them for the powerless.  The question of over-population surfaces, too, with the need for some powerful overseer to supervise it aggressively. 

"Thou shalt not have in thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small." (Deuteronomy 25:13)

Most of all, I liked the screenwriter's concept that time-currency was limitlessly stretchable (just as the supply of paper or electronic money is limitlessly stretchable in a fiat-banking economy).  Interestingly, the message of the movie will likely resonate with socialist and conservative thinkers alike.  I prefer to echo the words of Cleon Skousen, who would say that it is not about democrats and republicans, or liberals and conservatives, it is about liberty versus tyranny. 

Go see the movie, and see if you agree with me.

Greece Wavers

News reports are coming in today indicating that the Greeks are not so tickled with the urgently proposed bailout/restructuring program offered to them by the other European Union countries and the European banks.  Greece's prime minister has scheduled a national referendum (in January !!!) for the Greeks themselves to vote on whether to accept the very austere proposals.  Reportedly, 60% of Greeks are against it (most likely because they won't accept fewer entitlements and higher taxes).

This news is causing shudders in the world's markets (Dow Jones is down 600 points between today and yesterday).  Many U.S. investment firms are deeply invested in struggling European nations (Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, etc.).  A total default by Greece would have a ripple effect not only in Europe, but also in the U.S.  Our stock market is biting its nails moment-by-moment as news of Greece's indecision flows in.

If Greece utterly rejects the restructuring plan, the options are mostly grim - it could separate from the Eurozone and revert to its former currency.  The prospect of a bankruptcy filing is already being discussed.  Who would be the receiver/trustee?

The point here is that the reason why this is sending jitters worldwide is because other European nations have economies nearly as shaky as Greece's, and there is a huge fear that, should Greece default, the enormous international banking (paper) losses will cause a domino effect and trigger the failure of those other nations.

My question is this - if the precariousness of Greece's situation is sufficient to rattle the whole world, are we not dangerously close to some sort of meltdown anyway?  I have said this before - virtually all the Western nations are far deeper in debt than they should be.  If any one of them were to default, bankruptcy, receivership and repossession are inevitable.  If you survey the current European economic landscape, it is apparent that without massive monetary infusions from Germany or the U.S., many of these foundering nations will fail anyway, sooner or later.  There is discussion of China stepping in to help the situation - but didn't China recently turn to Europe for financial assistance?

In Bible times the Jubilee was required every fifty years.  It mandated the forgiveness of all debts and the dissolution of all "corporations".  The big problem with debt is found in:


1. Incessant carrying costs (interest)
2. Daily compounding interest
3. Rule of 78's (front-end weighted amortization) formula

Debt is just plain expensive.  Its voracious thirst for the payment of the 11th dollar on every 10 dollars borrowed encourages the inflationary scheme of printing all those 11th dollars.  Debt also frequently results in default and liquidation - the loss of wealth.  What we are observing is the massive transfer of wealth on a global scale.  If the banks won't obey the law of the jubilee, the people's only option is to rise up and repudiate the banks and their debt tyranny.  This is why the banks finance the government and the military - then they can use the power of government to prevent the people from rising up and resisting them.  The "Occupy Wall Street" protesters are not wrong about tyranny in the financial sector, but their efforts are too insignificant to make a dent, and they have not successfully identified the real culprits.

Jesus owns this world.  It is His footstool.  We are only stewards (not owners).  We are unworthy stewards who have broken some of the fundamental biblical guidelines.  We were incapable of effecting our own spiritual salvation, and are now incapable of securing our own temporal salvation.  When the tyranny and oppression reach a critical peak, Jesus must intervene with His own brand of oppression - a "Marvellous Work and a Wonder" (- catastrophic global tribulations) to punish the wicked (plunderers, supplanters, deceivers, usurers,) and discipline His people (Ephraim and the other Israelites).

Watching Greece fail is like watching the death of the canary in the mineshaft - it is an unmistakable omen.

Repo' Time

In an interview today, British MP, Daniel Hannan, predicted that Greece will default in a month or so.  Hannan is a brilliant economist and political thinker who is willing to say what many others fear to.  For an example of Hannan's vigorous denunciation of central banks, read his article More Money Printing.

I want to ask what will happen when Greece defaults.  My guess is that in order to get all that loan money (that it cannot repay), it was required to put up the land area (surface and mineral) as collateral to the bank to secure the loans.  You should know this story by now.

The banks have fancy, official-sounding names like - International Monetary Fund or Inter-European Redevelopment Bank, but you and I both know that these central national banks and central international banks are OWNED by somebody. Yes, owned by people like Kuhn, Loeb, Schiff, Rothschild, Lazard, and others.  You rarely see these characters, but they still exist, and they still own the big banks, and the big banks are rapidly gobbling up all the small banks.  Remember that what they give/lend to the people is paper or electronic (debit card) money.  Remember that what they take in exchange is paper money with interest, and then when that runs out, they take the gold, silver and land.

It is important to remember that the Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917 was a repossession.  Russia had been dragged into a century of wars with its neighbors, borrowing billions from the Dutch and French banks to pay the soldiers.  Unable to pay principal or interest, Russia watched the banks send in their agents (Trotsky, Stalin, Lenin, Peter Hammer, Virl Schultz, and Herbert Walker Bush) to carry out the foreclosure.  Time to repo the collateral.  That couldn't be done without wiping out the royal family (so that it wouldn't rise up later and repudiate the creditor).  The thinking at the time was that an enslaved, communist country would be a better credit risk.

In Russia the creditors seized the country through violence and by installing a new regime that would do their bidding.  This has always been their vision for the whole world.  It's hard for them to repossess your car if you are still driving it.

Greece will go under.  It CANNOT keep up with its financial obligations.  It never could.  Through liberal, progressive socialism, the government's financial obligations were ratcheted ever upwards until they could NEVER be satisfied.  So now what?

There is only one pathway.  The creditor bank must install its own agents to govern the newly-liquidated country.  This way, it can completely control where ALL the resources are allocated.  By fomenting unrest and stirring up public riots, the bank can solidify the popular disillusionment with the old leaders, thus smoothing the transition to the new tyrannical rulers (see Egypt).

Problem is - Italy and Spain are not far behind.  It's all been prophesied.  The Mediterraneans and the Europeans are not uncomfortable with the veiled oppression of democratic socialism (having cowered under it for centuries).  When all of Europe's economies are crippled, the people will acquiesce relatively peaceably.  Not so, here Stateside.  Pick your poison, I guess.

It's a bit like the atheism/evolution squabble.  If you think humans came from tadpoles, and God is a fantasy, then the idea that He holds allodial title to this planet is laughable.  In my view, I am His kid, and I walk this orb with His permission.  The rodent devils who have raped and plundered it are in for a surprise more irksome than the repo-man.  Strange that the LDS Church is so silent in this period of intense prophetic fulfillment.

World Devalued

The downgrading of the US credit rating by Standard and Poors this weekend has made ripples across the globe.  The Saudi Arabia stock exchange took a dive on Saturday, and the Asian markets dipped substantially.  Today, the Dow Jones average dipped 635 points, capping the worst week since 2008.

Reports are coming in that France is in deep debt and economic trouble, followed closely behind by England (where rioters are burning government buildings while I type).  The strongest of Europe's corporate national economies is Germany, and Germany does not have enough money to bail out even Greece or Ireland again, let alone the other nations to its west.  Let's not even talk about Japan.

Am I the only person whose mind this information boggles?  Fox News' Elizabeth McDonald just reported that -

"China’s debt-to-GDP ratio is worse than the United States’ ratio. It is worse than insolvent Portugal, which is now relying heavily on the European Central Bank for help, and had to go to the International Monetary Fund to get a financial bailout.

So, let me get this straight - the largest holder of the US's $14.2 trillion (and growing) national debt is China, and China is practically insolvent (who wouldn't be?), then who is it that all these countries keep turning to for more and more bailout money?  The third-world countries can't bail us out.  Clearly, the answer is  -  the International Monetary Fund (IMF).  But the not-so-clear question is -  who owns the International Monetary Fund, and is it a collection of private, international bankers?  And where in the world did they get all their money from?

The amount of loose, mined gold in the world is always growing.   Manpower is growing.  Crops are growing (except in those places where there is drought or stupid, price-controlling farm subsidies).  The central banks (e.g. Federal Reserve) increase the money supply (ability to repay debt) by printing more paper money.  This devalues the paper wealth of a nation.  Every nation is having its net worth devalued.  By whom?  If all the industrialized debtor nations have had to put up their entire land area as collateral on the now virtually unrepayable debt, then they are all ripe for foreclosure, repossession.  All of this torment was created artificially through usury and currency manipulation.  you would think that the Devil wants to bring us to the point where we are all dead or at each others' throats. Is the ultimate purpose of usury to earn huge profit or to repossess the collateral?  Or is it to RULE THE WORLD ????

Does this all sound like insanity to you?  Who would repossess a western nation?  Who has taken our money and loaned it back to us at interest?  You ask - - if this has been perpetrated against all the (once) noble western nations, why don't they rise up and slay the banker bastard(s) who did it and put an end to all this deficit controversy?  Why? - - - - -

 - - - - Because they are in bed with them and have assented to the whole plan.  The politicians (and not a few of their buddies) are in on the scam.  This has been the scheme for the last five to six thousand years.

King James Bible (Revelation 14:8)
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Do scriptural prophecies tell us reliably what is awaiting us?

Impotence

I have watched with genuine concern the protests taking place in major cities in Egypt. Regular citizens of Egyptian society have taken to the streets by the tens of thousands.  Several hundred have been killed (mostly by the police).  The army is out in force, however, it is showing great restraint and is apparently very sympathetic to the protesters.

Why are these people protesting?  Why are they so determined to get rid of President Hosni Mubarak?  Mubarak announced today that he is not seeking re-election and is willing to permit a transition of political power to a new government or new leaders.  What made the Egyptians so unhappy with Mubarak?  Was it the 20% unemployment?  Is it the vast economic gulf between the opulence of the rich and the poverty of the masses?  Surely, when tens of thousands of sincere protesters register such indignation against a corrupt dictator, his departure can now spell a new era of prosperity and success for the average Egyptian.

How much will you bet me that things will not be different one year from now?  Will Mubarak's successor implement sweeping fiscal changes and restore financial control and stability to the Egyptian economy  --  and, if not, why not?

Did Mubarak control Egypt's economy, or is it controlled by some "central" bank (like the private bank - the "Federal" Reserve in the U.S.)?  I submit to you that whoever Mubarak's successor turns out to be, he will be just as impotent as Mubarak and just as impotent as the millions of frustrated protesters to do anything to prevent the fraud and corruption of the central banking system, with its death-grip on the monetary supply, and its fractional reserve usury scam.

I am beginning to think that national usury schemes are an unavoidable disease in any telestial world.  For a season, good people hit upon the idea of using precious metals as value equivalents - as an honest measurement and medium of exchange.  Gold may be shiny and appealing - it may even have limited uses in industry, but its role as currency elevates it to a status of great importance.  I don't remember my wives saying to me - "Honey, why won't you bring us home a big chunk of zinc or nickel?".  Like silver, gold is hard to find and extract, and everyone can mutually agree on ascribing a constant value to it.  Remember that gold doesn't "grow" in value, it is simply that our paper Federal Reserve Notes shrink in value.

In a movie last night ("The Importance of Being Earnest") I saw a man holding a first-class train ticket valued at four pence (circa 1895).  Have you ever asked yourself why the value of money has to be diluted decade after decade, and who is causing it?  Could it be that when you borrow ten dollars and promise to pay back eleven dollars, that you have to work harder to find that eleventh dollar - and, when all the money in circulation has been loaned into circulation, and everybody is chasing around trying to find the "eleventh dollar" that doesn't exist, then the only solution is to PRINT MORE DOLLARS?  That's what causes inflation.  So how do you prevent runaway hyperinflation? - - easy - just create the Internal Revenue and tax all the surplus paper dollars out of circulation every spring (ever feel like you've been had?).

When a den of Gadianton robbers conspires to substitute paper bills (or notes) for real currency, there is the risk that another set of crooks will de-couple the supply of paper money from the amount of silver and gold in a country's treasury, and then the kings can easily "drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornications" (= Bible-speak for profiting off of the private usury banking scam).  Jesus Himself got pretty ticked off at those money-changers.  I wonder what He would say about inflation and deflation, and war-lending, and progressive income taxes, and Bernanke's "Quantitative Easing" (= usurer speak for printing hundreds of billions of new paper notes to mask our insolvency).

Do you look with sadness upon the effective impotence of the Egyptian protesters?  Does the Lord look with sadness upon our impotence when we cannot successfully protest the plundering of our land - His land?

Ezekiel 18:13  Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
