The Peace and Prosperity of the Kingdom of Heaven Is Coming Soon

It's inevitable that the world wide financial system will collapse, and when it does, it will be a fulfillment of bible prophecy of Revelation 13:4.

If one counts using the Mayan calendar, modern man has been around for about 6,000 years,

Mankind has had six one thousand year days to develop a workable financial system; mankind's time is up.

In the late 1700's America's Founding Fathers came out strongly for Liberty, Independence And Freedom, and presented rights existing in law, with Benjamine Franklin making the statement: "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."

Yes the masters, the elite are going to rule via Martial Law in response to the soon coming world wide financial collapse; the evidence for it is undeniably clear:

I hold that only one is virtuous, one one is righteous, only one is wise, that being the One, Jesus Christ The Lord, and that He has a better plan than man, and even the rule of law, that being the rule of God. It's called The Peace and Prosperity of the Kingdom of Heaven as Allen Ross reveals; and it is coming soon, where Jesus Christ will be ruling and reigning for a 1,000 years from his Temple in Jerusalem as foretold by Ezekiel in Ezekiel 47-48. The prophet is emphatic on the orientation of the temple: it faces east Ezekiel 47:1.

The Prosperity will be co-administered and overseen by God's elect, that is, appointed caretakers.

Peak US Dollar May Be In And Gold May Be On The Verge Of A Breakout

Gold and gold only will preserve one's wealth when the world wide financial system breakdown comes. I recommend that one buy gold and put it far, far away from the current financial system, safe and sound in a guarded vault, like BullionVault and GoldMoney, with an account personally at streetTracks Gold Trust, and in physical possession of gold coins.

A Unified North American Government Will Arise When Martial Law Is Declared In Response To The Coming Financial Pandemonium

A collection of some of news and video highlights documents that the world's banking and military elite are effecting a bloodless, economic and political coup, to establish a unified one world western government, that will deploy Canadian and US military forces, under the command authority of NORTHCOM, on a continental basis, in response to the coming financial pandemonium, when the financial markets really break down.

This rising western world government is a prelude to the Beast System foretold in Revelation 13:1-4. Here is an artist's rendition of the seven institution led, world wide oligarchy, that is, beast system. This monster is spread out world wide: it occupies all the ten world regions as proposed by the Club of Rome in February 1974 as documented in the footnote 1. The North American Continent was established as one of these ten regions as documented in footnote 2.

A Sovereign, that is a one world ruler, is held forth in Revelation 13:5-10; his word, will and way will rule the nations; there will be no national sovereignty.

And Seignior, that is, a one world banker, who also acts as world religious leader, is described in Revelation 13:11-17; he will lead a global monetary authority, which will provide unified regulation of banking globally; he will install a global seigniorage wealth and commerce system (footnote 3); he will have the authority to settle payments on all debts and derivatives; as economic conditions worsen all wealth will be rented out to him.

Soon there is coming a total worldwide financial system breakdown, and eventually, once currencies are totally burned out (footnote 4); then the Seginior will demand that all take the charagma, meaning mark, or stamp, or tattoo upon, or ethching in, or badge of servitude, (footnote 5), prophesied in Revelation 13:17: "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the authority of the beast, or the currency of his name."

Footnote 1: The Club of Rome made the call for regional governance in February 1974.
The Club of Rome is the premier think tank comprised of approximately 100 global leaders including scientists, philosophers and political advisors which envisioned totalitarian regional governance and a unifying global ethic --a world consciousness to solve interlocking world problems; and it relates this through published material such as 'Mankind at the Turning Point', and 'The First Global Revolution':

"Therefore we have concentrated out efforts in this report on a number of vital worldwide issues whose mastery we consider essential for man's survival and for an eventual transition into sustainable material and spiritual development of humanity."

"If the human species is to survive, man must develop a sense of identification with future generations and be ready to trade benefits to the next generations for the benefits to himself. If each generation aims at maximum good for itself, Homo Sapiens is as good as doomed."

"In order to achieve balance between regions in global development a more coherent regional outlook must be developed in various parts of the world so that the "preferable solutions" will be arrived at out of necessity rather than out of good will... we are talking about a regional sense of common destiny that will find its expression through appropriate societal, economic concepts and objectives... Such a regional outlook will create a "critical mass" necessary for the practical implementation of new and innovative ways of functioning in cultural, economic, and agricultural areas, especially on the rural level."

Footnote 2: North America is one of of the ten regions of global governance called for.
This region of global governance was announced by George Bush, Vincente Fox and Stephen Harper at Baylor University on March 23, 2005; this triumvirate committed the continent to global principles of security and prosperity as provided in the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, the SPP. The leaders called for initiatives of a continental economic congress, and supra regulatory body, that being the North Amrican Competitivenss Council, the NACC, to be supported by Working Groups and Stakeholders who work in harmonizing the institutions and regulations of once formerly sovereign and independent nations into a homeland for the continent's peoples. This North American Union, NAU, is what I call CanMexAmerica.

The Canadian think tank, Frazer Institute, makes a case for The Amero as the North American Continent's Currency relating: "In sum, the alternative methods for creating the benefits of a monetary union have a number of defects and basically are inferior substitutes. If a Canadian consensus emerges that flexible exchange rates are to blame for many of the country's economic ills, monetary union is the preferred alternative institutional arrangement".

Footnote 3: Seigniorage means top dog bank note system.
Seigniorage comes from the Scottish and Bank of England financial system which was devised to maintain the value of currency, The History of Seigniorage Wealth by Elaine Meinel Supkis, February 7, 2008 Money Matters Blog.

Footnote 4: Eventually, there will come an end to paper currencies.
Andy Sutton relates in FinancialSense.com article Anatomy of a Disaster – The Next Stop: "The magnitude of the final quantity of money that must be created is astronomical. From the standpoint of the authorities, it would be best if we continued to go into neverending debt. This way money could be multiplied through the banking system in an ‘orderly’ fashion. The next choices are handouts (think ‘stimulus’ packages), and direct monetization of debt (think outright purchase of new Treasury issues). The multiplier method leads to a ‘slow burn’ inflation such as what we’ve experienced to this point. However, there is an actual moment in time when the population cannot continue to accumulate debt at a level that will perpetuate the fiat system. Then we move to the latter two options which have a much greater likelihood of creating hyperinflation and the eventual end of the paper currency. We have now reached the tipping point where debt accumulation on a meaningful scale cannot continue. Therefore, we are left to watch the remains of the current liquidation of assets then reap the whirlwind of rampant, undisciplined monetary creation".

Footnote 5: Charagma is described by David Deschesne Editor, Fort Fairfield Journal.
The article A Mark in the Right Hand or in their Forehead, Fort Fairfield Journal, July 6, 2005 provides an explanation of Revelation Chapter 13:16-17.

Bible Prophecy Sequence Of Events

, , , ...

1) God provides His Word in 66 books of the Bible; it is Scripture providing trustworthy revelations and promises for one to place faith in Jesus Christ, and to call on His name, and be saved.
The Genealogy of Jesus is found in 42 families in Matthew 1:1-17 where there are 3 groups of 14 families; and 72 in Luke 3:32-38. Of note there were four gentile harlots: Tamar, a victim of incest; Rahab, a prostitute; Ruth, a Moabitess; and Bathsheba, a victim of rape.

Chuck Missler in Hidden Treasures in the Biblical Text, comments on Genesis Chapter 5, relating that God appointed ten patriarchs whose names herald the role, nature and purpose of Jesus:
Adam ... Man
Seth ... Appointed
Enosh ... Mortal
Kenan ... Sorrow
Mahelalel ... The Blessed God
Jared ... Shall come down
Enoch ... Teaching
Methuselah ... His death shall bring
Lamech ... The despairing
Noah ... Comfort, Rest

Putting all the names in sequence we have: Adam Seth Enosh Kenan Mahelalel Jared Enoch Methuselah Lamech Noah. The hebrew translated into English reads: Man Appointed Mortal Sorrow; The Blessed God Shall come down Teaching His death shall bring The Despairing Comfort.

Jehovah made eight covenants with Abraham.

In Leviticus chapter 23 there are 7 feasts which commemorate the important events of Israel's history and are also prophetic, that is a shadow of what is to come, but the substance is Christ. Colossians 2:16-17:

Passover - Points to His death on the cross so that all who have faith in his sacrifice may be "passed over" during God's judgment.

Unleavened Bread - This followed immediately after the Passover. Throughout the Bible, leaven, that is yeast, is used as a picture for sin. To remove all leaven is representative of removal of all sin through the sacrifice of Jesus.

First Fruit - Jesus is the "first fruit of the resurrection" (1 Corinthians 15:20). He is the first to have died and then risen to eternal life.

Pentecost - Celebrated on the first day of the week (7 Sabbaths + 1 day). The Holy Spirit was first poured out on the gathered disciples on the day of Pentecost.

Trumpets - Started on the first day of the 7th month. Trumpets are used as a alert to herald important announcements. This feast points to the second coming of Jesus. In Revelation chapters 8 and 9 we see the trumpets used by God to prepare the way for the return of His Son to the earth.

Atonement - Celebrated on the 10th day of the 7th month where every sin committed by the children of Israel was to be accounted for and removed by sacrifice. This points to the total removal of sin by the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross.

Tabernacles - Began on the 15th day of the 7th month. The people lived in booths to remind them of the journey through the wilderness, and of the fact that the Messiah would tabernacle amongst us. People cut branches off trees and celebrated and rejoice before the Lord. This points to a time in the new Kingdom, as recorded in revelation 7:9-17, when there will be a great multitude from every nation who have been through the trial and tribulation, will celebrate before the Lord and thank Him for His salvation. It is also recorded in the book of Zechariah that everyone who is left of all the nations will celebrate this feast from year to year, as they worship the Lord at Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:16 - 19).

Thus the feasts of Israel are pointers to the life and work of Jesus throughout all ages.

Under the Old Covenant, God called for Sabbath, that is a day of rest, which was to be observed on a lunar new moon basis; rather than as now celebrated, on a weekly Saturday observance. God says that the people's Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies, he cannot endure, as they are iniquity. Isaiah 1:13-14.

2) God chooses the schemer and dreamer Jacob to deal with mankind.
God is sovereign; He foresaw and foreknew all; He looked down the "hall way of time", and chose to work through Jacob not Esau. God said "Jacob I love; but Esau I hated". Romans 9:13

God has two kinds of vessels, the first vessel is found in Romans 9:20-23 and the second vessel in Isaiah 51:20 and I Thessalonians 5:9.

God uses these vessels to do his will. Jesus prayed that the Father's will be done. It is being done 24x7 through the faith of Jesus Christ.

Jacob schemed to usurp his older brother's rights and authority. Genesis. 25:20-26.

The older sells his birth right for a bowl of beans. Genesis 25:27-34

The usurper's mother deceives her husband and conspires to have The Blessing given to the underling, who with deceit, takes away the elder's birth right blessing. Genesis 27:11-39

God reaffirms the covenant made with his grandfather Abraham. Genesis. 28:10-15

Jacob confers blessings and prophesies the Lord's coming through Judah. Genesis 49:8-12

Dan prophesied to bear Lucifer's child to rule mankind Genesis. 49:16-18

The tribe of Dan is excluded from the List of Deliverance of Israel. Revelation 7:4-8

Joseph is assigned to have headship over his brothers. Genesis 49:22-26

3) Joseph reveals that his headship was ordered by God for good so that kindness be given unto them. Genesis 50:19-25

4) Joseph prophesies that God will visit his people. Genesis 50:25

5) Ephraim and Manessah are assigned special blessings.
Ephriam and Manessah are adopted by Jacob Genesis. 41:51-52.

I do have to say that just because God may have blessed the European Union, United Kingdom, Britain and the United States, as part of a blessing to Ephriam and Manessah, He may have done so or allowed this as part of His plan to raise up the European Union. and the US as a world power to acquired by the Sovereign and Seignior for their purposes of world domination. Great means powerful, it means domineering; it does not necessarily mean good and beneficial.

Excerpt from pages 385 to 389 of The "Lost" Ten Tribes of Israel...Found by Steven M. Collins as quoted by Servant News describing the doctrine of British Israelism.

Ephraim’s clans formed the backbone of the tribes which united to form the Parthian Empire, while one of the dominant tribes of the Sacae Scythians was the Massagetae (Manasseh). Even as the term "House of Israel" included the rest of the tribes of Israel who remained associated with Ephraim and Manasseh, the term "Sacae" was also applied to the tribes of Israel which were led by Ephraim and Manasseh (Parthia and Scythia) while in Asia.

When the Scythians and Parthians migrated to Europe, the names "SAChse," or "Saxons," ("Saac’s sons") remained upon them as they settled in the British Isles, but this name also remained on some related tribes who stayed on the mainland (i.e. "Saxony" in Germany and "Alsace" in France).

Jacob prophesied that Manasseh "shall become a people, and he also shall be great," but added that Ephraim’s descendants "shall be greater than [Manasseh], and his seed shall become a multitude of nations." Genesis 48:19

With these words Jacob prophesied that Manasseh and Ephraim would receive the blessing of Genesis 35:11 that the "birthright" promises would eventually include "a nation and a company of nations." Genesis 48:19 specifically foretold the descendants of Ephraim (the younger brother) would become the "multitude of nations" while Manasseh’s descendants would become the single great nation.

The modern nations which descended from an Anglo-Saxon heritage are England, the United States of America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. These nations have perfectly fulfilled all prophecies about the birthright tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.

They easily fulfill the prophecy about large population. When you combine the populations of the above modern nations, they are, by far, the most numerous nations of the modern tribes of Israel. They have uniquely fulfilled the prophecy about becoming "a great nation" and a "company of nations." The single great nation is the United States of America and the Caucasian nations of the British Commonwealth (Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) are the prophesied company of nations. Therefore, the "birthright" prophecies identify the United States as Manasseh, and the Caucasian nations of the British Commonwealth are identified as Ephraim.

Since Ephraim was to be the "greater" of the two, and received its birthright blessing first, we should expect that Ephraim would receive its inheritance before Manasseh. History fulfilled that expectation. Great Britain rose to international prominence before the United States, and was a major international power for centuries before being replaced by the United States in the post-World War II period.

At its zenith, the British Empire also ruled over many more nations and a far greater geographic area than the United States ever has. For a time, it was true that "the sun never set on the British Empire "because the British Empire ruled much of the world! At its zenith, it ruled over Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, many Black African nations, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Burma, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, eastern New Guinea, and any islands in Oceania.

It was without question, the most expansive empire in the history of our planet. According to the 1943 Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, the British Empire once ruled 13 million square miles of the earth’s land surface. (And that was before British rule was temporarily extended over Palestine, Jordan and Iraq after World War II!) Britain’s navies also controlled much of the world’s sea surface as well. "Britannia rules the waves" was a common axiom in Britain’s glory days. The British Empire inherited the "birthright" promises of controlling the "gate of its enemies" (strategic "chokepoints" such as the Suez Canal, Gibraltar, and the Cape of Good Hope). British ownership of the Falkland Islands controlled access around Cape Horn between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and its colony in Singapore controlled the strategic Strait of Malacca between the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.

The United States of America (Manasseh) inherited its "birthright" portion after Ephraim had inherited its dominant portion of the "birthright."

6) Jesus the Messiah is born in Bethlehem and The Work of Christ is finished on the Cross.
Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:1; John 19:30; 1 Corinthians 15:3

7) The Church Age unfolds.
Matthew 13; Ephesians 2; Revelation 2-3 The seven churches in the Book of Revelation are representative of the Church Age. John is speaking of seven actual first century churches and of the churches throughout the Church age. There is a likeness between these churches and the periods of church history: Ephesus (30-100 A.D.)

Smyrna (100-313 A.D.) Roman Persecution of the Church, Revelation 2:8.

Pergamum (313-600 A.D.) Age of Constantine, Revelation 2:12. Thyatira (600-1517 A.D.) Dark Ages, Revelation 2:18.

Sardis (1517-1648 A.D.) Reformation of the Church, Revelation 3:1.

Philadelphia (1648-1900 A.D.) “Great Awakening” Missionary Movement, Revelation 3:7.

Laodicea (1900-present day) Apostasy and Lukewarm Church, Revelation 3:14.

8) The Beast System, Sovereign and Seignior rise to rule mankind.
The Apostle John wrote from prison, on The Isle of Patmos about 90 AD, the Revelation Of Jesus Christ, which foretells those things which must shortly come to pass, meaning a series of events that once they begin, fall quickly into place one right after the other. Revelation Chapter 13 tells of three separate beasts which arise to sovereignly, that is authoritatively rule and direct, mankind's activities.

The Bible Prophecy of Revelation 13:1-4 foretells of a sovereign system which directs all of mankind's activities through seven institutions and ten regions of global governance; the regions replace sovereign nations and their constitutions; and institute principles of global governance.

The world's governments will fail in their banking seignority and their currencies will collapse: regional currencies will arise.

The seven heads symbolize mankind’s seven institutions:
1) Finance, Commerce and Trade,
2) Education
3) Body Politic
4) Military
5) Religion
6) Media
7) Science & Technology

The ten horns symbolize ten regions of global governance. These were called for by the Club of Rome in February 1974. The Club of Rome is the premier think tank comprised of approximately 100 global leaders including scientists, philosophers and political advisors which envisioned totalitarian regional governance and a unifying global ethic --a world consciousness to solve interlocking world problems; and it relates this through published material such as 'Mankind at the Turning Point', and 'The First Global Revolution':

"Therefore we have concentrated out efforts in this report on a number of vital worldwide issues whose mastery we consider essential for man's survival and for an eventual transition into sustainable material and spiritual development of humanity."

"If the human species is to survive, man must develop a sense of identification with future generations and be ready to trade benefits to the next generations for the benefits to himself. If each generation aims at maximum good for itself, Homo Sapiens is as good as doomed."

"In order to achieve balance between regions in global development a more coherent regional outlook must be developed in various parts of the world so that the "preferable solutions" will be arrived at out of necessity rather than out of good will... we are talking about a regional sense of common destiny that will find its expression through appropriate societal, economic concepts and objectives... Such a regional outlook will create a "critical mass" necessary for the practical implementation of new and innovative ways of functioning in cultural, economic, and agricultural areas, especially on the rural level."

One of the ten regions of global governance called for is that of the North American continent; and was announced at Baylor University on March, 23, 2005 by the Continent's leaders, Bush, Fox and Martin.

Image Of The Beast Of Revelation 13:1-4; this is the same beast as Daniel 7:7

Click here for detailed image of The Beast Of Revelation Chapter 13 rising from the sea of humanity.

Revelation 13:5-10 tells of a sovereign leader, that is a monarch, who has sovereign power and authority to rule.

The global leader of Revelation 13:5-10 is knowable: scripture gives the information to identify him:
1) Daniel 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land: a seemingly innocuous leader comes from the North and West, that is he comes from the European Union to Israel.

2) Daniel 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down: he, being Jewish, gains access to Israeli government and the Jewish Temple, takes away Jewish temple sacrifice, exalts himself to the level of the Messiah, and finally makes himself out to be The Messiah.

3) Daniel 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up: He, being in the lineage of kings, uses this to claim kingship; and he is amongst the world's leading occultists.

4) Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom; let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six: he is a man whose gematria when decoded, comes out numerically to be 666.

Revelation 13:11-17 tells of a sovereign banker. He is the seignior, meaning, top dog who takes a cut; in modern day terms, an investment banker, in the line of a Charlie Prince or a Robert Rubin or a Tony Brown. He is also the world religious leader and awesome technocrat; he institutes a global seigniorage wealth and commerce system. Seigniorage means top dog bank note system, and as Elaine Meinel Supkis relates in The History of Seigniorage Wealth comes from the Scottish and Bank of England financial system which was devised to maintain the value of currency.

Photo of Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, Treasury Secretary, and Alan Greenspan, the Federal Reserve Chairman, at a House Hearing in 1995 Photo by Stephen Crowley of The New York Times from the article The Reckoning Taking Hard New Look At A Greenspan Legacy by Peter S. Goodman who said of Alan Greenspan: "And his views held the greatest sway in debates about the regulation and use of derivatives, exotic contracts that promised to protect investors from losses, thereby stimulating riskier practices that led to the financial crisis. For more than a decade, Alan Greenspan has fiercely objected whenever derivatives have come under scrutiny in Congress or on Wall Street.

“What we have found over the years in the marketplace is that derivatives have been an extraordinarily useful vehicle to transfer risk from those who shouldn’t be taking it to those who are willing to and are capable of doing so,” Mr. Greenspan told the Senate Banking Committee in 2003. “We think it would be a mistake” to more deeply regulate the contracts, he added.

The Resourceful Bear News service relates in article JP Morgan Chase And Its Derivative Position Poses Serious Risk To World Financial Stability that JPM owns over half the derivatives outstanding; the exposure to derivaties is concentrated in the top four US Banks.

The seigniorage system is based upon the "mark" which comes from the Greek word charagma meaning "etching in", or "tattoo upon", or "stamp", or "badge of servitude", which enables one to conduct economic activity, and which authorizes one to receive economic benefits; the mark will be required in order to buy or sell as per David Deschesne writing in A Mark in the Right Hand or in their Forehead, in his explanation of Revelation Chapter 13:16-17. All seigniorage comes and goes through him: all sovereign wealth funds, and banks report to him. Commercial, regional and money center banks are gone. There is no national sovereignty, as sovereign nations and their constitutions are history, as principles of global governance working through regional economic and security pacts or agreements exist; and these serve as the basis for regional currencies. Unified regulation of banking globally serves as the basis for commerce trade and investment.

Elaine Meinel Supkis writes "The Derivatives Beast doesn't want more Japan carry trade loans. He wants real money. And this means getting the major governments of the world to feed him real meat and potatoes: future taxes, the wealth of empires".

I say that the Derivative's Beast can never be satiated. Once there is a total worldwide financial system breakdown, and currencies, other than gold are totally burned out, then the Beast will call for the soul of every man, woman and child.

Then the mark, that is the charagma, of Revelation 13:17, will be introduced by the coming world banker, who is also the chief religious leader, that is the Seignior of Revelation 13:11-17: "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the authority of the beast, or the currency of his name."

The following news events reveal the fulfillment of Bible prophecy:

In 1913, the 'Federal Reserve Act' was passed, creating the 'Federal Reserve System'.

In 1935, the reverse side of the 'Great Seal of the United States' with the All Seeing Eye of Providence above the pyramid appeared for the first time on the back of the one dollar U.S. dollar bill.

In 1944, the 'Bretton Woods Agreement' was signed, outlining a regime for the post World War II world economy.

In 1945, the United Nations was founded.

In 1954, the Bilderberg Group was founded.

In 1957, the European Economic Community, the European Common Market, was formed, which in 1992 changed its name to the European Union. Currently, the EU has 27 member states, 15 of which use a common currency, the Euro.

In 1963, the 'Codex Alimentarius Commission' was established by the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization, later to be backed by the 'World Trade Organization'. Codex Alimentarius, Part 1 of 5, is an attempt to overturn existing US laws in favor of pharma-friendly international trade rules. Codex is a threat to human health, human rights, true democracy and national sovereignty.

In 1973, David Rockefeller organized the 'Trilateral Commission'.

1n 1974, The 'Club of Rome' issued a report entitled the "Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System," which proposes that the 'world be divided into ten regions'.

In 1995, the United Nations' International Trade Organization's, ITO, General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, GATT, group was renamed the World Trade Organization, WTO.

In September 2001, it is alleged that al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked airliners and attacked the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. A Homeland Security authority is legislated and a War On Terror begun.

The US Government countered the pain of the terrorist attacks and the dotcom bubble bust pumped air into the next bubble, that is the housing bubble. The Bush administration pushed two big tax cuts, and the Federal Reserve, led by Alan Greenspan, slashed interest rates to spur lending and spending.

Low rates kicked the housing market into high gear. Construction of new homes jumped 6 percent in 2002, and prices climbed. By that November, Greenspan noted the trend, telling a private meeting of Fed officials that "our extraordinary housing boom . . . financed by very large increases in mortgage debt, cannot continue indefinitely into the future," according to a transcript.

The Fed nonetheless kept to its goal of encouraging lending and in June 2003 slashed its key rate to its lowest level ever -- 1 percent -- and let it sit there for a year. "Lower interest rates will stimulate demand for anything you want to borrow -- housing included," said Fed scholar John Taylor, an economics professor at Stanford University.

The average rate on a 30-year-fixed mortgage fell to 5.8 percent in 2003, the lowest since at least the 1960s. Greenspan boasted to Congress that "the Federal Reserve's commitment to foster sustainable growth" was helping to fuel the economy, and he noted that homeownership was growing.

There was something very new about this particular housing boom. Much of it was driven by loans made to a new category of borrowers -- those with little savings, low income, checkered credit and even unverified information. Such people did not qualify for the best interest rates; the riskiest of these borrowers were known as "subprime" and Alt-A who obtained pay option ARM mortgages. With interest rates falling nationwide, many subprime loans gave borrowers a low "teaser" rate for the first two or three years, with the monthly payments ballooning after that.

Government-chartered mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, encouraged by the Bush administration to expand homeownership, also bought more pools of subprime loans.

One member of the Fed watched the developments with increasing trepidation: Edward Gramlich, a former University of Michigan economist who had been nominated to the central bank by President Bill Clinton. Gramlich would later call subprime lending "a great national experiment" in expanding homeownership.

In 2003, Gramlich invited a Chicago housing advocate for a private lunch in his Washington office. Bruce Gottschall, a 30-year industry veteran, took the opportunity to pull out a map of Chicago, showing the Fed governor which communities had been exposed to large numbers of subprime loans. Homes were going into foreclosure. Gottschall said the Fed governor already "seemed to know some of the underlying problems."

On January 31, 2006, Greenspan, widely celebrated for steering the economy through multiple shocks for more than 18 years, steps down from his post as Fed chairman.

Bernanke became Federal Reserve Chief and two weeks into the job, he testified before Congress that it was a "positive" that the nation's homeownership rate had reached nearly 70 percent, in part because of subprime loans.

President Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

On October 1, 2002, U.S. Northern Command, NORTHCOM, was established by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, as a military command authority tasked with anticipating and conducting homeland defense and civil support operations where U.S. armed forces are used in domestic emergencies; thus establishing a bloodless military coup.

On October 2, 2002 Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz called the activation of U.S. Northern Command "historic" and said the new command is charged with "the momentous responsibility to help deter and defend against attacks on America's home soil."

In 2004, the Independent Task Force on North America, a project organized by the Council on Foreign Relations, CFR, proposes the establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community, generally referred to as the North American Union, the NAU.

On March 23, 2005, the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, the SPP, was announced at Baylor University, effecting an economic, political and investment coup.

Frameworks -- Leader's Agreements, neither treaties nor constitutions, now define and specify working relationships between nations and peoples; The SPP, is one such Framework Agreement.

Presented below is a photo from the Baylor University web site showing Condoleezza Rice And George Bush as they were greeted by Baylor University's Robert B. Sloan Jr. and members of his staff immediately prior to the announcement of the SPP.

Mr. Sloan said: "It is an honor for Baylor University to host the leaders of the United States, Canada and Mexico," and he continued: "Here at Baylor, we want to teach our students to serve. Baylor today had the opportunity to serve on behalf of our country and the world, and it is a tremendous privilege for Baylor to host this trilateral meeting."

The Security And Prosperity Partnership provides state corporate rule to deal with systemic risks -- systemic failures such as debt guarantor insolvencies, and outbreak of pandemic disease, such as avian influenza, as mentioned in the Leader's Joint Statement of March, 31, 2006 in Cancun, Mexico.

The photo below is of President George Bush with Robert J Stevens of Lockheed Martin and other business leaders in a March 2006 Security and Prosperity Partnership "Progress Meeting" held at the Cancun Summit.

Canada's Stephen Harper, spoke before the Economic Club of New York, where he related the need for a continental response to oversee threats to the continent's security and prosperity.

The think tank, Council on Foreign Relations, CFR, has called for Regional monetary integration; Andrew G. Marshall writing in a GlobalResearch.ca article sees this resulting the use of a continental currency, i.e. the Amero.

On October 21, 2008, Craig Torres and Christopher Condon in Bloomberg article 'Fed To Provide Up To $540 Billion To Aid Money Funds' relates: "The Federal Reserve will provide up to $540 billion in loans to help relieve pressure on money-market mutual funds beset by redemptions.

``Short-term debt markets have been under considerable strain in recent weeks'' as it got tougher for funds to meet withdrawal requests, the Fed said today in a statement in Washington. A Fed official said that about $500 billion has flowed since August out of prime money-market funds, which with other money-market mutual funds control $3.45 trillion."

Note that the money provided by the Money Market Investor Funding Facility, MMIFF, is a "loan"; it is not a grant. In reality because most of the money market funds have taken out insurance and many will avail themselves of this "loan", and given that nine banks have been nationalized, and the insurance company AIG has been loaned money, and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have been nationalized, this represents an "integration of money market funds" into the US Government.

The nationalizations are a fulfillment of bible prophecy of Revelation Chapter 6:1-2 where the first of four riders of the Apocalypse goes forth globally on a white horse in bloodless economic and political coup conquest.

The loan comes with cost other than interest, that being administrative ownership, that is control, of trillions of dollars by the Federal Reserve. The word, will and way of Ben Bernanke is now sovereign over all money market funds in the United States. Not only is the Federal Reserve the Bank of Banks which was achieved by the provision of dollar swaps, emergency lending, rate reductions, and facilities of TARP and CPFF, it is now the 'Monetary, Credit and Investment Authority' over America through its "loans" to money market funds. This effects a stunning economic and political coup that has replaced Milton Friedman neoliberal laissez faire capitalism with a state-corporate seigniorage wealth system, which controls investment and lending. Seigniorage means top dog bank note system; and comes from the Scottish and Bank of England financial system which was devised to maintain the value of currency as describe in Elaine Meinel Supkis Money Matters Blog article 'The History of Seigniorage Wealth'.

Default on the loan, which is inevitable, means that the wealth of the money market accounts will be not only rented out to but owned by the Federal Reserve.

Americans are enslaved, yes made slaves to the credit default swaps and other derivatives at AIG and Lehman Brothers, this is termed the Derivatives Beast, the housing debt of nationalized Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the highly leveraged CDO debt of the TARP facility, and the commercial paper debt of CPFF.

And now they are made slaves to pay back the money market fund loans. Elaine Meinel Supkis in Financial Black Holes relates: "Modern capitalist banking systems create increasing DEBT and not increasing wealth!" And she relates, "The desire is for all systems to be over 100% in debt!"

Americans are now totally sold out: their task masters are Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson their Goldmanite banking stakeholders.

Ms. Supkis' in article 'End The Fed Demonstrations November 22', relates: "The rabbit is out of the magician's hat. The cat is out of the bag. Even the dimmest wits in America are figuring out two things: the bankers are really socialists but are exclusionary socialists. Namely, they want money to be created and handed to them, not to us. They want to use us as collateral. Ask any banker if money can be lent at cheap with no collateral. They will laugh maliciously.

No, to get those cute 1% loans, you need to put up some collateral. And the true collateral here is the US taxpayers and everything they own. Note the top story. All our collective and individual wealth can be suddenly seized. Since the bankers and their buddies own our political system, they will get whatever they need.

The other fact the US public has become dimly aware is, they will NOT be bailed out with this magic money. They will have to pay a price and a steep price. If they ARE bailed out with funny money, this will be extracted in less than five years just like the Bush tax cuts, via inflation of food, fuel and other necessities.

Since there is a lot of propaganda from kindergarden on up poured into brains to convince US citizens that we are NOT an empire, it is hard for voters to understand the profound loss of sovereignty and international muscle the US has suffered during this last 8 years of wild misspending, wild debt accumulation and wild military expansionism."

The bailouts so far total $2.25 Trillion. Mark Landler and Eric Dash Published in October 15, 2008, International Herald Tribune article Drama - And Conflict - Behind The $250 Billion Banking Deal report that the bail outs so far come in at $2.25 trillion!

The bailouts will fail to resolve global financial place instability; the lending gridlock will continue, and liquidity will continue to evaporate from the system. The result will be a world wide financial system breakdown.

The world entered into Kondratieff Winter on 08-08-08. This means death, not growth; and that reality is the ever increasing investment knowledge, ethic and directive, amongst the world's currency, commodity and stock traders, causing disinvestment from commodities, stocks, bonds and currencies.

And the awareness of risk of investment loss increased on September 11, 2008, that is 9-11-2008, there was a cardiac arrest in lending when the banks discovered they could not sell stock to raise capital. Trust between lender and debtor completely broke down, and a lending gridlock, that is, a credit gridlock ensued, and the US Stock markets and the world stock markets fell lower on an unwinding yen carry trade which took commodities lower, and the US Dollar higher.

The lack of trust increased even further as the SEC has thrown the fair value rule, and the accountants have withdrawn the mark-to-market standard of FASB 157, and replaced it with mark-to-fantasy assumptions of management.

Without trust the worldwide financial system can only breakdown.

The inevitable financial collapse when it does occur will be a fulfillment of bible prophecy of Revelation 13:1-4; specifically Revelation 13:3.

Evidence suggests that there will be a declaration of martial law in response to the coming financial system breakdown:

9) The Persecution of The Saints and The Campaign of Armageddon.
An end time persecution is coming to God's children. Revelation 12:12-17

God promises sanctuary to a small number of saints in Revelation Chapter 12:14. It will be a place where the Sovereign and his armies will be unable to penetrate; a select few will find safety there for 42 months, that is for three and one half years; whereas the rest of God's children will be ruthlessly and successfully hunted down by the coming world king.

If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. Revelation 13:10

In order to find God's deliverance, one should watch and pray always that one might be accounted worthy to escape all things that are coming, and stand before the Son of Man. Luke 21:36

One's fate is all a matter of the Election of Grace.

The Sovereign rules with a strong hand; but it being a multi-polar world, is opposed by forces from the North, East, and South. Isaiah 63:1-6; Daniel 11:40-43; Joel 3:1-2, 9-17; Zechariah 12:8-14; Revelation 14:14-20; 16:12-16; 19:11-21

The prophet Daniel wrote that the EU US World Governor, the Sovereign, will meet his doom on plain of Megiddo: "But rumors from the East and from the North will disturb him, and he will go out with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many. "He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him. Daniel 11:44-45, and Revelation 16:12-16

10) The Second Coming of Christ
Isaiah 63:1-6; Ezekiel 20:33-44; Daniel 2:44-45; Psalms 2:7-9; 96:13; 98:9; Matthew 24:29-30; Romans 11:26-27; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16

Christ, accompanied by the Church, will at this time set up the promised Davidic Kingdom on earth, replacing and bringing to an end, forever, the “Times of the Gentiles,” with its corrupt political rule (Daniel 2:44).

11) Satan Bound and Confined
Revelation chapter 20 gives a clear picture of the binding of Satan in the abyss. Because of his banishment war on earth will cease, righteousness and peace will cover the earth with the reign of Christ as King over all the nations.

12) The Judgment of the Nation Israel and The Judgment of the Gentiles
The Judgment of the Nation of Israel
Ezekiel 20:34-38; Zechariah 13:1-2; Malachi 3:2-5.

The Judgment of the Gentiles
Zechariah 14:1-9; Matthew 25:31-46

13) Resurrection of Tribulation Saints and the Old Testament Saints and The 1000 Year Rule and Reign of Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 26:19-21; Daniel 12:1-3; John 5:28-29; 2 Corinthians 15:23; Revelation 20:4-6
This resurrection occurs at Christ’s Second Advent to earth (1 Corinthians 15:23). It entails all the Old Testament saints and those believers who, during the Tribulation Period, lost their lives because of their faith (Revelation 20:4-5). They will join the Church and reign with Christ on earth during His glorious Millennial rule.

Isaiah 65:19-25; Jeremiah 30:19-20; Ezekiel 36:33-38; Zechariah 8:20-23; 14:16-21; Revelation 20:1-7
The Millennial reign of Jesus Christ, a future 1000 year period when the earth is placed under His direct rule, is a time when peace and righteousness will reign here on earth. Christ will rule over the nations of the earth with “a rod of iron” (Revelation 19:15) and “nation will not lift up sword against nation and never again will they learn war” (Isaiah 2:4). Christ, the Son of David, will reign over His Kingdom from His father David’s throne in Jerusalem, fulfilling the Davidic covenant through which Israel was promised a Throne, King and Kingdom, forever (2 Samuel 7:4-16).

14) Marriage Supper of the Lamb .. The Wedding Feast
Matthew 8:11; Luke 13:28-29; Luke 22:16-18, 29-30; Revelation 19:7-9; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Revelation 19:7-9
We have seen that the “Marriage of the Lamb” is an event that has reference only to the Church and takes place in Heaven. The “Marriage Supper” of the Lamb is an event that takes place on earth after the Second Advent of Christ. Though the two events are closely related, they are separate events, just as the wedding ceremony and the wedding reception of our day are separate events. Those who are invited to attend the marriage supper on earth are all the Old Testament saints and the Tribulation saints, both mortal and resurrected, after Christ’s Second Coming. There are New Testament passages that speak of Christ eating and banqueting in the kingdom which may be references to the celebration related to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. These passages imply that the celebration of the marriage supper begins in the millennial kingdom: Matthew 8:11; Luke 13:28-29; Luke 22:16-18, 29-30.

15) The Loosing of Satan and The Last Revolt
Revelation 20:7-10
Satan must be loosed for a little while from his thousand-year imprisonment (Revelation 20:7-10). This must complete the grounds for divine judgment against this great fallen angel. Those who had been left over from the Battle of Armageddon who lived in the peace and glory of the Kingdom are deceived, and they go on rebellion only to be destroyed by Christ.

16) The Doom of Satan
Revelation 12:7-12, 20:1-3, 20:10-15
Satan has already been judged at the cross (John 16:11). He is to be banished from accessing Heaven, where he accuses Believers before God, being thrown down to the earth during the time of the Tribulation (Revelation 12:7-12). After the tribulation he is imprisoned, bound and cast into the abyss for the duration of the Millennium (Revelation 20:1-3). The final doom which ends Satan’s career is when he is cast into the never ending torment of the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the Sovereign and the Seginior-False Prophet are consigned, along with all who have not believed the Word of God throughout the history of the earth.(Revelation 20:10-15).

17) The Passing of The Present Earth and Heaven
Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; Hebrews 1:10-12; 2 Peter 3:3-13; Revelation 20:11; 21:1
This present earth is to be purified after the final rebellion which closes the Millennium. The earth is to be purified through burning, because the earth has become polluted with sin.

18) The Great White Throne Judgment
Revelation 20:12-15; 21:8; 22:10-15
All unbelievers throughout the history of the earth will face a final judgment. They are to be raised from the dead after the Millennial period and will be judged according to their works, then to be committed to the Lake of Fire, which is the second death.

19) The Creation of a New Heaven and a New Earth
Isaiah 65:17-19; 2 Peter 3:13-14; Revelation 21:1 - 22:5
The New Heavens and the New Earth will be formed after this present Earth burns up and is purified. This is the LAST and final part of God’s eternal plan for mankind. All the redeemed, saved, of all the ages will be there! This will be the ultimate in glory, reigning forever with Christ in a New Heaven and a New Earth.

ACLU Demands Information on U.S. Military Domestic Operations

Tom Burghardt in Global Research article ACLU Demands Information on U.S. Military Domestic Operations relates that Jonathan Hafetz, a staff attorney with the ACLU National Security Project inquires: "What is the unit's mission? What functions will it perform? And why was it necessary to deploy the unit rather than rely on civilian agencies and personnel and the National Guard?

Well, its purpose is to provide civil security when martial law will be declared when pandemonium breaks out because of a financial system breakdown, or because there is an outbreak of a pandemic disease, such as avian influenza, that is bird flu.

It is necessary to deploy the unit rather than rely on civilian agencies and personnel and the National Guard, because on October 1, 2002, U.S. Northern Command, NORTHCOM, was established by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, as a military command authority tasked with establishing a bloodless military coup; and as all our National Guard troops are deployed in Iraq, conducting the war on terror, supposedly to stop the terrorists from coming here.

Frankly, it's all about the end time beast system of Revelation 13:1-4 rising to rule mankind.

U.S. Army Troops To Serve As U.S. Policemen?

Pastor Chuck Baldwin, is now running for Congress and asks: U.S. Army Troops To Serve As U.S. Policemen?

Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes, Pastor Baldwin! They will be deployed as part of martial law acting under the command authority of NORTHCOM, in response to an economic emergency, stemming from debt guarantor insolvencies, or an outbreak of a pandemic disease, such as avian influenza.

On October 1, 2002, U.S. Northern Command, NORTHCOM, was established by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, as a military command authority tasked with anticipating and conducting homeland defense and civil support operations where U.S. armed forces are used to provide civil security in domestic emergencies; thus establishing a bloodless military coup.

On October 2, 2002 Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz called the activation of U.S. Northern Command "historic" and said the new command is charged with "the momentous responsibility to help deter and defend against attacks on America's home soil."

And because of framework agreements with other nations, as well as the United Nations, the blue helmeted troops, are going to flow like a river and swarm like a swath of locusts all over America. I've know about it ever since 1997 when I read En Route To Global Occupation by Gary H. Kah

Palin's Fashion Buys Worth It, Stylists Say

, ,

Sarah Abruzzese of Politico reports that Jane the Plumber probably can’t afford a $150,000 shopping spree at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys and Bloomingdale’s, but professional stylists and image consultants say it’s money well spent for Sarah Palin.

Politico reported Tuesday that the Republican National Committee has popped for more than $150,000 worth of clothes and accessories for Palin and her family since John McCain tapped her as his VP pick in late August.

It’s a huge number — more than Palin's $108,000 annual salary as Alaska's governor — and news of it has brought a firestorm of criticism from Democrats who say it exposes Palin as a fraud, Republicans who wonder why their campaign contributions went for fashion, pundits who wring their hands about Neiman Marcus tastes in a Wal-Mart economy and legal experts who say the clothes might be treated as taxable income when the Palins file their next 1040.

The only ones not complaining: people who do this sort of thing for a living.

“She is dressing appropriately for the job she is going after,” said Lauren Rothman, a Washington stylist and the principal in the fashion consulting firm Styleauteur.

Palin — and those responsible for her image — faced a unique challenge in the early days of the McCain-Palin ticket: How do you introduce a virtual unknown — a self-proclaimed “hockey mom” — as both a down-to-earth girl next door and a “maverick” prepared to become the leader of the free world?

Betsy Fisher, the owner of the eponymous clothing store in Dupont Circle, says Palin and her people managed to straddle the line. “She does not look like she is wearing particularly expensive clothes,” Fisher said. “She looks like you could be her, too.”

Los Angeles-based image consultant Patsy Cisneros, a part owner of Political Icon, which works with candidates running for higher office, said Palin’s transformation was done well on a short timeline.

“She did come on the scene as governor for Alaska and looked appropriate as governor,” Cisneros said. Now, as the election nears and the possibility of the vice presidency looms, “She is being seen not just locally but globally, and she needs to represent our country. She has to look appropriate for that.”

And as for the Palin family makeover being charged to the campaign, Cisneros said it isn’t unusual. “We’ve worked with candidates before who have money to spend — some of it was their own, and some of it was from the party. It was put in under so many different ways. You would be surprised what money gets spent.”

Colleen Abrie, a “head-to-toe stylist” and image consultant in the San Francisco bay area, said that it is “important to note that you are talking about branding a person who you are launching into the public eye.”

“It is a good thing she has all that Armani, she needs all the points in her favor that she can get,” Abrie said. “If you are looking the part, you are halfway there.”

In a piece predating the current controversy, Washington Post fashion writer Robin Givhan called Palin’s VP style “exceptionally ordinary,” with “no detail” announcing that she’s in charge or wants to be.

“In the narrow confines of political style,” Givhan wrote last month, “the accepted rule is to dress in a manner that implies empathy for one's constituency — so don't wear anything too expensive — but also conveys authority. Palin has embraced the former and utterly ignored the latter.”

Or maybe she’s ignored both.

According to financial disclosure forms, the RNC spent $75,000 at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, $49,000 at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York and smaller amounts at others upscale department stores.

Neiman Marcus did not return calls from Politico, and Saks declined to discuss the matter.

This isn’t the first time eyebrows have been raised over the price of McCain-Palin fashion. In July, the Huffington Post had a field day with reports that John McCain wore $520 Ferragamo loafers. And in September, Vanity Fair said that Cindy McCain had worn about $300,000 to the Republican convention — $3,000 for an Oscar de la Renta dress and hundreds of thousands more for the diamonds and pearls that went with it.

Rothman estimated that Michelle Obama’s usual campaign outfits are worth about $2,000 each. Barack Obama accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in a custom-made Hartmarx suit, and the Chicago Sun-Times says he’s bought five more of them since. Retail price: about $1,500 each.

The Obama campaign says that “neither the Obama campaign nor the DNC have ever bought clothes for any of the Obamas or the Bidens.”

The RNC, meanwhile, says essentially the same thing. An RNC official told Politico Wednesday that the Palins will have to return all of the items that were purchased for them — and that the RNC will then turn them over to charity — no matter who wins the presidential election.

Financial market report for October 22, 2008

There was a severe disinvestment from currencies, stocks, and commodities today 10-22-2008.
There was a severe sell off of stocks worldwide with natural resource stocks and emerging markets taking the greatest part of the hit today, caused by two factors. First, the Japanese currency extended its uptrend, as carry traders borrowed at the 0.5% lending window at the Bank of Japan to go long the Yen and short the Euro. And, second the nationalization of pensions in Argentina.

Trading reflects that Kondratieff Winter has intensified.
The world entered into Kondratieff Winter on 08-08-08. This means death, not growth; and that reality is the ever increasing investment knowledge, ethic and directive, amongst the world's currency, commodity and stock traders, causing disinvestment from commodities, stocks, bonds and currencies,

Trading volume in the semiconductor and technology leader Intel, INTC, was awesomely high, driving it to its 52 week low.

From reading the Linda A. Johnson, Associated Press, in article 'Drugmakers Post Lower Third-Quarter Net Income' I believe the 'age of profitable pharmaceutical development' is over: "Drugmakers Merck & Co., Wyeth and GlaxoSmithKline PLC all posted lower profits for the third quarter on Wednesday, partly due to the intensifying generic competition weighing on the entire pharmaceutical industry. And in what it characterized as an advance strike to counteract that and other problems, Merck said it will slash about 7,200 jobs, or nearly 13 percent of its workforce, in its second major restructuring in less than three years. The companies managed to meet or slightly beat analysts' expectations, in part because of benefits from currency exchange rates. But on a day in which world markets fell, their shares all did as well: Merck's dropped $1.96, or 6.5 percent, to $28.01; Glaxo's fell $1.21, or 3.2 percent, to $36.63, and Wyeth's fell $3.72, or 10.7 percent, to $31.06. Analysts said the Wyeth drop was mainly because of news that a promising Alzheimer's drug could be delayed".

Disinvestment and lack of credit means there will not be 'a sustainable demand for agricultural equipment'. Deere, DE, fell 10% lower. The farmers of the world are going broke from lower commodity prices, and usurious loans which were used to buy seed and fertilizer last year. They simply do not have money to buy fertilizer. Potash Corporation, POT, was another high volume loss leader; it lost 9%.

The Hog, Harley Davidson, a discretionary sector leader fell 13% lower as Jessica Johnson
in Seeking Alpha reports that it has "tightened its credit distribution and started to pursue its sub-prime borrowers, who in easier times past have found it easy to borrow $20,000 hogs with no money on the table. This risky lending, which forced Harley to take a $6.3m writedown amid rising default rates and decreasing interest among buyers for its securitized loans - could foreshadow problems in other industries, according to Businessweek.com". It's as Doug Noland reports in Safehaven.com article The "Arb" Game Is Over that the prosperous 'age of securitization of lending and credit' is history.

Boeing, BA, fell 8% on the growing likelihood that it will not be producing airplanes due to a dearth of credit and decreased growth worldwide; I have placed Boeing on "death watch".

Debt ridden International Paper fell 13%.

Vice and gambling sector leader MGM fell 13%.

Wachovia Corp, WB, reported a third-quarter loss of $23.9 billion on Wednesday, a record quarterly deficit for a banking company in the global credit crisis, underscoring the challenges Wells Fargo & Co faces when it acquires the big lender.

National City and Fifth Third both posted large losses. NCC had a $729 million loss ($5.1 billion including the preferred dividend it was forced to cough up to preferred investors) and announced plans to cut 14% of its workforce. FITB lost $56 million and said it would ask for an investment from the US government.

The former 'age of investment in communication services' is definitely over as the communication stocks such as Qualcomm, QCOM, and Vodaphone were off over 10%.

Investors recognizing that the 'shopping center model' is dead, and that 'the age of dead malls' is now at hand, sold General Growth Properties heavily: GGP fell 37%.

The ongoing 3 month Yahoo Finance chart of SDK, and SFK, that is SDK, 200% short the Russell Mid Cap Growth Shares, and SFK, 200% short the Russell 1000 Growth Shares shows the tremendous gain that has come to those short the growth shares.

The ongoing 3 month Yahoo finance Chart of EEV and EFU shows the tremendous gain that has come to those short the emerging market, EEM, as well as the world shares, EFA. The ongoing Yahoo Finance chart of EEM compared to EFA shows that the emerging markets have lost sixty percent and the world shares fifty percent in the last year ... EEM and EFA

Kondratieff Winter means mass starvation and war is coming; and as a result, eventually hyperinflation, in agricultural products, RJA, and oil, USO, as conflict breaks out globally from depreciated currencies.

The formerly high yielding currencies such as the Euro, FXE, and the Australian Dollar, FXA, which brought investment rewards to the emerging markets rich in natural resources, and in production of industrial goods, are now being sold to abandon.

An unwinding yen carry trade means a sell of oil and a buy of the US Dollar: oil, USO, fell 6.5%, gold, GLD, which often trades inversely of the US dollar, 6%, and commodities 5%.

The low yielding currency, the US Dollar, $USD, became a safe haven as the Federal Reserve continues to extend assurances of dollar swaps, and other dollar supportive facilities; the US Dollar closed up at $85.62 ... $USD

The Dollar Bullish ETF, UUP, blasted higher to 26.35 ... UUP

Long term US Treasuries, TLT, were perceived as a lifeboat of safety. Yet in reality they are a Titanic in a sea of icebergs, that is, they are a disaster waiting to happen; TLT closed up 2% at 97.05 ... TLT

Other currencies fell sharply as well: the Mexico Peso, FXM, the Canadian Dollar, FXC, the British Pound, FXB, and the Indian Rupe, ICN.

The Australian Dollar, FXA, has already been sold off heavily.

The ongoing Yahoo Finance chart of FXA, compared to FXM, FXC, FXB, iCN, and FXY, communicates that Peak Currencies occurred on July 25, 2008, when the EURJPY, that is the yen carry trade, better termed the yen carry trade went into Elliott Wave 3 Decline ... FXA compared to FXM, FXC, FXB, iCN, and FXY

I do not see a turn up in the Euro; I see the chart objective for the Euro falling to 115; I see the coming of the declaration of martial law (presented below), and most all currencies falling lower; Peak US Dollar will likely come when martial law is declared.

General Commentary
Elaine Meinel Supkis in article 'End The Fed Demonstrations November 22', provides excellent commentary of today's news: "The confiscations of systems and wealth generating locations is beginning. The US has opened yet another window into the awful nothingness of the Cave of Wealth and Death. The 'rescue' amounts are now well over $2 trillion and rising weekly. The 90% losses from Lehman's collapse in the CDO markets is still not being acknowledged nor examined realistically. Bush promises MORE 'free trade' as he and other rulers push yet again for more of the Doha Round process to finish its job of killing the US industrial base. All the taps are wide open and all of this future wealth is vanishing today. Hedge funds are failing fast due to not being hedges at all but scams. The global trade collapse is confusing many mainstream commentators who would love to think that all is basically well, this is just some sort of odd glitch. It is not".

Pension funds are nationalized in Argentina
BBC News reports: Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez has signed a bill that will nationalise the country's 10 private pension funds. The move will put the government in control of almost $30bn (£18bn) of investments. Shares slumped amid fears of the move's impact and critics accused the government of trying to grab the funds.

Ms Fernandez said that Argentina needed to protect those with pensions amid falling stock prices around the world. However, expectations of the announcement sent Argentine shares 11% lower and critics said the government simply wanted its hands on the money ahead of a tough budget year".

The nationalization of pensions in Argentina is a fulfillment of bible prophecy of Revelation Chapter 6:1-2 where the first of four riders of the Apocalypse goes forth globally on a white horse in bloodless economic and political coup conquest.

The Federal Reserve will "LOAN" money markets funds as necessary with the result that Americans will be enslaved to Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson
Craig Torres and Christopher Condon in Bloomberg article 'Fed To Provide Up To $540 Billion To Aid Money Funds' relates: "The Federal Reserve will provide up to $540 billion in loans to help relieve pressure on money-market mutual funds beset by redemptions.

``Short-term debt markets have been under considerable strain in recent weeks'' as it got tougher for funds to meet withdrawal requests, the Fed said today in a statement in Washington. A Fed official said that about $500 billion has flowed since August out of prime money-market funds, which with other money-market mutual funds control $3.45 trillion."

Note that the money provided by the Money Market Investor Funding Facility, MMIFF, is a "loan"; it is not a grant. In reality because most of the money market funds have taken out insurance and many will avail themselves of this "loan", and given that nine banks have been nationalized, and the insurance company AIG has been loaned money, and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have been nationalized, this represents an "integration of money market funds" into the US Government.

The loan comes with cost other than interest, that being administrative ownership, that is control, of trillions of dollars by the Federal Reserve. The word, will and way of Ben Bernanke is now sovereign over all money market funds in the United States. Not only is the Federal Reserve the Bank of Banks which was achieved by the provision of dollar swaps, emergency lending, rate reductions, and facilities of TARP and CPFF, it is now the 'Monetary, Credit and Investment Authority' over America through its "loans" to money market funds. This effects a stunning economic and political coup that has replaced Milton Friedman neoliberal laissez faire capitalism with a state-corporate seigniorage wealth system, which controls investment and lending. Seigniorage means top dog bank note system; and comes from the Scottish and Bank of England financial system which was devised to maintain the value of currency as describe in Elaine Meinel Supkis Money Matters Blog article 'The History of Seigniorage Wealth'.

Default on the loan, which is inevitable, means that the wealth of the money market accounts will be not only rented out to but owned by the Federal Reserve

Americans are enslaved, yes made slaves to the credit default swaps and other derivatives at AIG and Lehman Brothers, the housing debt of nationalized Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the highly leveraged CDO debt of the TARP facility, and the commercial paper debt of CPFF.

And now they are made slaves to pay back the money market fund loans. Elaine Meinel Supkis in Financial Black Holes relates: "Modern capitalist banking systems create increasing DEBT and not increasing wealth!" And she relates, "The desire is for all systems to be over 100% in debt!"

Americans are now totally sold out: their task masters are Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson their banking stakeholders.

Going back to Ms. Supkis' current article 'End The Fed Demonstrations November 22', she relates: "The rabbit is out of the magician's hat. The cat is out of the bag. Even the dimmest wits in America are figuring out two things: the bankers are really socialists but are exclusionary socialists. Namely, they want money to be created and handed to them, not to us. They want to use us as collateral. Ask any banker if money can be lent at cheap with no collateral. They will laugh maliciously.

No, to get those cute 1% loans, you need to put up some collateral. And the true collateral here is the US taxpayers and everything they own. Note the top story. All our collective and individual wealth can be suddenly seized. Since the bankers and their buddies own our political system, they will get whatever they need.

The other fact the US public has become dimly aware is, they will NOT be bailed out with this magic money. They will have to pay a price and a steep price. If they ARE bailed out with funny money, this will be extracted in less than five years just like the Bush tax cuts, via inflation of food, fuel and other necessities.

Since there is a lot of propaganda from kindergarden on up poured into brains to convince US citizens that we are NOT an empire, it is hard for voters to understand the profound loss of sovereignty and international muscle the US has suffered during this last 8 years of wild misspending, wild debt accumulation and wild military expansionism."

The bailouts so far total $2.25 Trillion
Mark Landler and Eric Dash Published in October 15, 2008, International Herald Tribune article Drama - And Conflict - Behind The $250 Billion Banking Deal report that the bail outs so far come in at $2.25 trillion!

The bailouts will fail to resolve global financial place instability; the lending gridlock will continue, and liquidity will continue to evaporate from the system. The result will be a world wide financial system breakdown
As stated above, the world entered into Kondratieff Winter on 08-08-08. This means death, not growth; and that reality is the ever increasing investment knowledge, ethic and directive, amongst the world's currency, commodity and stock traders, causing disinvestment from commodities, stocks, bonds and currencies.

And the awareness of risk of investment loss increased on September 11, 2008, that is 9-11-2008, there was a cardiac arrest in lending when the banks discovered they could not sell stock to raise capital. Trust between lender and debtor completely broke down, and a lending gridlock, that is, a credit gridlock ensued, and the US Stock markets and the world stock markets fell lower on an unwinding yen carry trade which took commodities lower, and the US Dollar higher.

The lack of trust increased even further as the SEC has thrown the fair value rule, and the accountants have withdrawn the mark-to-market standard of FASB 157, and replaced it with mark-to-fantasy assumptions of management.

Without trust the worldwide financial system can only breakdown.

The inevitable financial collapse when it does occur will be a fulfillment of bible prophecy of Revelation 13:1-4

Evidence suggests that there will be a declaration of martial law in response to the coming financial system breakdown

Those not invested in gold, and not having personal control over that investment, will loose relatively a lot compared to gold, when martial law is declared.
The risk of loss of investment principle is at the highest level ever, despite assurances from central banks globally, that monies in banks and money market funds is guaranteed.

One may not have full and immediate access to one's money when martial law is declared; and the value of all currencies relative to gold is likely to fall at that time.

The best time to buy gold is now, despite the likelihood that it will continue to fall lower as oil and the Euro fall and the US Dollar rises.

If one has wealth, it is best to put it far, far away from the current financial system, safe and sound in a guarded vault, like BullionVault and GoldMoney, with an account personally at streetTracks Gold Trust, and in physical possession of gold coins.

The chart of gold relative to stocks, GLD:VTI, holding steady above 1.40 provides clear, cogent and convincing evidence of an investment demand for gold, as well as a strong reason for physical owernship of gold rather than holding "money" in banks or money market accounts.

Top International Military Officials Meet In Adirondacks

PETER CROWLEY, Enterprise Managing Editor of the Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports on October 18, 2008: SARANAC LAKE - Powerful generals and admirals from some of the most powerful nations on Earth are reportedly meeting somewhere in the local area this weekend after flying into the Adirondack Regional Airport in Lake Clear on Friday.

Among the passengers of a large Boeing 757 airplane with "United States of America" printed on its fuselage were top members of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and their counterparts from France, Germany and another country, possibly Great Britain, according to Barry DeFuria, a town of Harrietstown councilman and Airport Committee member who was there when the plane landed. A top military delegation from Italy flew in on a separate Falcon airplane, DeFuria said.

Town Supervisor Larry Miller, also on the Airport Committee, was also there and confirmed which nations' officials were on which planes, but he said he did not know what kind of officials they were or where they were going from the airport. He said he and DeFuria had to get security clearances to be present and that soldiers were guarding the 757 around the clock at the airport.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff is the leadership council of the U.S. military, comprised of the top general or admiral of each branch of the armed services. Its current chairman is Admiral Michael Mullen.

The Soon Coming Declaration Of Martial Law Will Mean The Loss Of Simple Joys

For many, the soon coming declaration of martial law, in response to a financial breakdown, will mean the loss of the simple joys of life, such as:

a dinner out at an upscale restaurant,

an evening with a better bottle of wine,

sex with one's loved partner,

driving the car,

a summer evening at the amusement park,

a perm at the beauty shop,

taking a class at the local university or college,

having a croissant at the bakery,

seeing the US flag fly, and knowing the country is not occupied by foreign troops,

I believe it's best to count one's blessings now, because when the blue helmeted peacekeepers come to provide civil security, many of these simply joys of life will be fleeting.

As for me, I count my many blessings daily; and I've pre-grieved for the many losses to come; I watch and pray always that I might be accounted worthy to escape all things that are coming, and stand before the Son of Man.
