Coming to a country near you.  Classic cars are looking better every day!

I pay close attention to those who have a proven track record, aka fruitfulness.  Fruitfulness indicates that the person is operating in their calling.  Richard Russell is an investment newsletter writer with over six decades of experience.  In a recent interview, he is quoted as saying:

“Over the past weeks I have instructed subscribers to stay on the sidelines and watch history unfold.  My advice is to stay out of this bear market and hold only gold bullion and a limited supply of US dollars.  I think we are watching history in the making, and it is far better to watch it than to be part of it.”

Richard does not answer to Wall Street, the Fed, or any other entity.  His primary concern is for future generations and has seen this scenario play out before in previous bear markets.  Many other investment writers were not yet born when he was experiencing past bear market patterns.

Central Banks around the world continue to intervene in global financial markets.  2008 was the year of warning.  Even Vice President Biden admitted to the imminent meltdown of financial markets by stating that they were considering martial law.  Ludwig von Mises (www,mises.org)  coined the term "crack-up boom" to describe the abandonment of a fiat currency to relieve the pressure of the liabilities associated with that currency.  When a government debases a currency, they effectively relieve immediate pressure on the currency.  Those holding the currency end up losing value.

Hyper-inflation occurs when there is a loss of trust.  It is a state of mind.  The value of the U.S. Dollar is based on trust that the Federal Government will continue to honor its debts and properly manage the money supply.  However, it is well established that the economic indicators are now heavily manipulated.  Why?  They want to maintain the illusion that “all is well” with the economy.  All of the numbers are manipulated toward the optimistic side, none show that the underlying situation is worse.  It is clear that there is intent behind the manipulation and it is not by accident.  With interest rates at zero, who benefits?  The banks, the U.S. Government securities representing the excessive debt, and consumers who continue to leverage up.  Who are the losers?  Savers, the elderly on Social Security, pension funds holding bonds for future payments, and other countries who hold U.S. Dollars.

When will the masses lose trust in the U.S. Dollar and other fiat currencies?  Only Our Heavenly Father knows.  I have heard predictions for each year since 2008.  None go past 2025.  There is a lot of focus on 2014 to 2016.  I view each year that the loss of trust doesn’t happen as an opportunity for the readers of this blog to prepare by eliminating debt, reducing complexity, minimizing ongoing expenses, and most of all spiritually preparing for the ensuing chaos that is to surely come when the epic bubble finally bursts.

What about healthcare?  I am expecting an impartation from Heaven of an anointing to heal based on a foundation of Love.  In the past decades, the church has only averaged about 5% success rate of healing through prayer and the laying on of hands.  I expect that to change.  The difference will be in the motivation behind the healing.  When the revelation of Love is the motivating force, more will be healed.  Cancer, heart disease, and chronic illness will be dealt with at their spiritual roots rather than just managing their symptoms.  When Jesus walked the earth, there was not a massive infrastructure for healthcare.  He went about and healed all.  Isn’t it time that we expect to do the same?  This epic bubble will surely burst and cause a disintegration of a fragile infrastructure that was destined to fail.  The American Cancer Society’s “War on Cancer” has been going on for decades without a broad solution to the disease.  Jesus had the solution 2,000 years ago.  However, it is based on Love, not the dollar.  Think about it!

My good friend sent me this report and it is available for public reading at:  http://www.tullettprebon.com/documents/strategyinsights/tpsi_009_perfect_storm_009.pdf

If you read this report, you will note that its main arguments have been covered in several of our blogs over the last five years:

The end of an era : a disastrous experiment with globalisation

The massaging of data to the point where economic trends are obscured

The implosion of the credit super-cycle

Out-of-control debt

Policies have been blind-sided by distorted data.  The reliable information which policymakers and the public need if effective solutions are to be found is not available. Economic data (including inflation, growth, GDP and unemployment) has been subjected to incremental distortion, whilst information about government spending, deficits and debt is extremely misleading.

The decaying growth dynamic: Population growth cannot be sustained indefinitely in the current infrastructure.

The mainstream investors are now coming to the realization of the fragility of the current system.  I suspect that they will begin deploying their investment to protect the value of the investment over short-sided returns.  Oil, gas, gold, silver, agri-land, and other hard assets are all possibilities.

The writers of this article clearly grasp the big picture.

When you put money in the bank, you become an unsecured creditor.  That position does not necessarily allow you to pull out cash at any time.  Your money isn’t sitting idle in a bank vault.  They take possession and utilize it for their needs.  Additionally, you fall under their rules and regulations for disbursements.  They can limit your withdrawals.  They report any sizable cash withdrawals to the federal authorities.  Let’s face it, your money is not really yours, totally.  Once in the bank, you have “managed” access to it.  The current system insures that it keeps control using the legal contract you signed on your signature card.  Yep, it’s all legal.  Maybe not righteous, but it is legal.  See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25861717

By the way, HSBC has branches in the U.S.  Isn’t it great that we have become a “world” community without borders?

Large multi-national corporations are in business to make a profit and there is nothing wrong with profit.  It is a Biblical principle to generate a profit.  The problem arises when you inject some form of lawlessness into the equation.  Suddenly, the profit becomes tainted and has unrighteousness attached to it.  It becomes accountable to spiritual powers of this world.  Death and destruction soon follow.  The Bible provides us with many examples of men being moved by the powers of darkness and Jesus found it necessary to be tempted by the devil himself in order to fulfill His calling.  If you discount the fact that these powers are still present, you will probably be blindsided.  Your ignorance of their power and authority does not change the reality of their impact around the globe.  Our Heavenly Father has raised up men and women to deal with the claims of these spiritual powers in the “Heavenly” court system.  They are intercessors.

The Kingdom of Heaven is a rather simple and straightforward system.  Jesus provided us with many examples of this.  In fact, He likened the Kingdom to small children in that it was not complicated.  We are to come as little children, simply.  On the flipside, the other kingdom is highly complex and hardly anyone can fully understand how it works.  The more complex, the better.  This system exalts some people over the multitudes, as though they are entitled to walk around adorned in jewels while others are washing their clothes in the local streams.  Fiat currency supports this disparity.

Fiat currency allows those in power to manipulate value to their benefit.  It is designed to exploit the weak.  After all, what can they do about it?  The masses walk around predisposed with their latest smart phone and “Apps” to keep them busy.  I was in another country recently where the standard of living was notably low.  Many people lived in “shanties” of wood and corrugated steel, yet they had their cell phone and satellite dish hooked up to the TV.  The technology is a means to keep them in bondage.

What happens when the fiat currency system begins to weaken?  Multi-national corporations will immediately respond and move into “protect” mode.  You could say that they are the canary in the coal mine in the currency exchange market.  If they see a sudden devaluation in the value of the goods and/or services, they will immediately respond.  What happens when a multi-national corporation quits taking your local currency?  It can get ugly quick.  See: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/airlines-halt-ticket-sales-venezuela-210753054–finance.html

This would suggest that those who travel abroad might want to carry a couple of gold coins in their pocket, just in case.  Do you think the authorities are going to give you notice when there is an imminent currency crisis coming?  The public will be the last to know.  Who knows before the authorities?  Our Heavenly Father.  HE is not restricted to time.  This is why I find it imperative that we all should press in to have the closest of relationships with HIM.  HE will navigate us through the changes that lie ahead.  In the complex system we live in today, there is nobody else who can insure our well-being.

By the way,  the U.S. continues to add new “currency controls” in a rather subtle fashion.  After all, the current fiat system is all about “control”.  See: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/venezuela-cuts-dollar-allowance-florida-151019655.html
