The Moving Target of Gold’s Price

Friday, March 14th, 2014

A few years ago, one would not have written that the target price of gold would have a prediction of $10,000 per ounce.  $3,000 was stretching it.  Now, the $10,000 price is not unrealistic.  Why?  The continued printing of fiat currencies around the world are devaluing your bank balances.  Gold isn’t appreciating in value as much as the currencies to purchase an ounce are devaluing.  It is all relative.  You come out ahead when you have a fixed payment on a mortgage denominated in the fiat currency and your investments appreciate in value at the same time, allowing you to pay off the mortgage with devalued currency.  As central banks continue to expand their monetary base in an effort to promote spending and expansion, the price of gold will ultimately respond.  Those of us that have been around a while, remember when hamburgers were 5 for a dollar.  Now, one hamburger runs about 3 to 4 of those dollars.

Ultimately, the value of a fiat currency moves to zero.  When?  Only Our Heavenly Father knows.  Until then, storing value for the future will be the challenge.  You will want to get your wisdom from Above.  Men’s opinions are simply guesses.  What if they wrong?  Will you be able to live at their house if you lose yours due to relying on their guesses?  They will be nowhere to be found.  The U.S. Dollar used to be a safe haven.  Now, the thieves are knocking at the door.

If there is ever a time to focus on Spiritual maturity, now is the time.  I know of no other path that will lead to peace, success and safety.

Trade War, Currency War, and Energy War

Saturday, March 8th, 2014

War takes on many forms.  The purpose of war is to take what does not belong to you by force.  The U.S. went to war in Iraq under false pretenses.  They have long since admitted to no weapons of mass destruction.  The issue was that fact that Saddam Hussein wanted to bypass the U.S. Dollar when selling their oil to other countries.  He wanted to use Euros.  That idea did not work out to well for him.

In 2001, Venezuela’s ambassador to Russia spoke of Venezuela switching to the Euro for all their oil sales. Within a year there was a coup attempt against Chavez, reportedly with assistance from the CIA.  History continues to repeat: Do not try to replace the U.S. Dollar as the reserve currency.

Now we have Russia in the spotlight.  The Ukraine’s strategic importance is due to their natural gas pipelines from Russia to Europe.  The U.S. has been actively promoting natural gas development in other areas to reduce Russian gas to Europe from 90% to 60% of the supply.  Do you think Russia will just sit around and let the U.S. dismantle the Russian economy again?  Do you think they will allow an interruption in the revenue from European gas sales to be interrupted?

Vladimir Yakunin, the former senior diplomat that now heads the Russian rail system, said:

“We are witnessing a large geopolitical game in which the game is the destruction of Russia as

a geopolitical opponent of the United States, or of its global financial oligarchy.”

See: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/2b508fa8-a558-11e3-8070-00144feab7de.html#axzz2vNT1ulZB

(This link had response problems.  I wonder why?)

What is an oligarchy?  It is defined as a small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution.  In this case Yakunin is speaking of the globe and the Fed’s control of global finances, aka, Mystery Babylon.

A small group of men and women behind the scenes will use trade, currency, and energy to achieve their quest to control the globe’s resources.  This is in full opposition to the revelation of Love.  Thus Our Heavenly Father will ultimately intervene and expose this small group for all the world to see.  Truth will ultimately prevail and these leaders who would have us all in a perpetual state of war will be removed in HIS time.  As the heathen rage, we should continue our pursuit toward walking in the fullness of Love.  It is the only solution to all these types of warfare being conducted around the globe.  Your best investment is to focus your time in this area of study.  It has a excellent “return on investment” in the long run.

Unwinding the Fraud

Thursday, March 6th, 2014

It appears that the tide is turning for those who have been lawless.  Their tricks and manipulative actions are now being brought to light.  This would lead us to believe that the central planners are concerned the populace is quickly moving toward a tipping point where they will no longer tolerate stark abuse against them.  In the past, the people have been predisposed with their IPads, IPods, IPhones, Facebook, Twitter, etc., but how many tweets will one send before they are finally tweeted out?

It has been well established that the price of gold was being manipulated for an extended period of time.  Numerous studies have shown this reality.  Does the NY Fed still have Germany’s gold, or did they lease it all out in an effort to manipulate the price down?  Does the U.S. have any of its gold reserve left?  Most of it may be sitting in China’s vaults now.  Who knows?  At any rate, bankers are now finding that their vocation may be hazardous to their health… or life.  Currency traders are also among those who have mysteriously died.  There appears to be a concerted effort to eliminate anyone who can testify to the massive fraud being conducted in the financial markets.  The housing market may be down, but the “assassin” demand appears to be booming.

Another "Successful Banker" Found Dead

One way or another, Our Heavenly Father makes sure the Truth surfaces.  Men can attempt to hide the Truth but the enforcement of the Laws pertaining to life and death still prevail.  Judgment results from the choice of taking the path toward death and destruction.  The Truth continues to be revealed.  We must just give it time.

Winning a Battle, Losing a War

Wednesday, March 5th, 2014

What do Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan have in common?  The U.S. did not win these wars.  The military-industrial complex grew financially however.  The latest confrontation with Putin where he “blinked” due to the Russian currency rapidly depreciating, was not a victory of war.  Instead, I would suggest that he will regroup and fulfill his agenda in a more subtle means.  He will buy some time to shore up his economic weakness so the West will be unable to successfully wage economic war.  The use of the global financial system to enforce your will on other countries will come to an end at some point.  In the meantime, those victims of economic abuse will continue implementing their long-term plan of disconnecting from the U.S. Dollar.

We have bankers committing suicide, banks under price-fixing investigations, our allies questioning whether we lost all of their gold reserves, and a divided government with the lowest approval rating on record.  The total liabilities far exceed our ability to ever pay them off.  How much longer can the U.S. maintain control of global finances?   The other countries’ leaders are not stupid.  The only thing that has kept them from dealing with the financial imbalance of power has been their lack of unity.  Slowly but surely they will come to the same conclusion: they must unify and become stronger than the current U.S. centric infrastructure.  It is clear that China is moving in that direction.  Their continued purchases of gold reserves as well as encouraging their population to own gold is a good indication that they will, at some point, challenge the current status quo.  Putin will surely side with them.  Other countries will follow.

Instant gratification is a primary reason for the U.S. pursuing the path of economic destruction.  The previous generation was known for its discipline of saving, a sacrifice of the “now” for future benefit.  The current generation is the opposite- satisfy yourself now, who cares about tomorrow!  This is what the Scripture calls “lust”. “I want it now!”  Americans are mortgaging their future in order to live for today.  This will only last as long as the rest of the globe tolerates it.  When the rest finally decide they have had enough, America will lose the war.  Only then will the question be asked: “What were we thinking?”

Putin’s response to the West:

The war is not over.

Edge of Nuclear War

Sunday, March 2nd, 2014

A game of global chess is at hand.  It is the BRICS countries against the West.  Things could get dangerous quickly.  You are dealing with super-sized egos and self-preservation is at the heart of the matter.  Both sides have nuclear capabilities and the Russians still remember Ronald Reagan’s bluff of the SDI “Stars Wars” ploy that brought the Soviet Union to its knees.  Recently, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts openly admitted: “Reagan kept threatening to put on them of a new arms race, of SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) — you may remember Star Wars — none of this actually happened.  It was all Reagan propaganda to make the communists in the Soviet Union agree to negotiate to end the war, rather than to be drawn into an arms race that their economy, at the time, was no longer able to sustain.”

Reagan lied and manipulated to end the cold war.  That is what leaders do in the modern era.  After all, he was an actor.  Reagan used economic means to end the cold war, not win it.  Only Our Heavenly Father knows what was best for the globe and the ramifications of the actions of those leaders.

Today, the current systems are based on perception and force.  The Kingdom of Our Heavenly Father is based on Love and attraction.  In the end, Love will win out over the current system.  Today’s news would have you believe half-truths in order to move sentiment in the direction of the central planners.  There are rumors of a global reset to occur on Tuesday of this week.  I personally think any reset would occur on the first day of a long weekend myself, time for the emotion to wear off before markets open.  At any rate, this year is sizing up to be a tumultuous year.  I suggest you get your spiritual house in order first.  It is better to be a year too early than a minute too late.

Ukraine: Potential Black Swan

Saturday, March 1st, 2014

I have spoken of Black Swans in past blogs.  These are unexpected events that the market does not consider or plan.  Western planners would like to tap into the energy underneath soil in the Ukraine.  Russia does not want to give up its influence either.  One should keep a watchful eye on how all of this unfolds.

Gold Manipulation?

Friday, February 28th, 2014

“Gold Fix Study Points to Decade of Bank Manipulation“

We have been talking about this for years.  It is interesting that finally the media is reporting it.   Silver has been manipulated as well, even to a greater degree.  It appears that the days are numbered for those who have assumed they were above scrutiny.  Maybe we are entering the time of reconciling “Equal Weights and Measures”.  Get the scales out.

Oil Independence?

Thursday, February 27th, 2014

“Just a few of the roadblocks: Independent producers will spend $1.50 drilling this year for every dollar they get back. Shale output drops faster than production from conventional methods. It will take 2,500 new wells a year just to sustain output of 1 million barrels a day in North Dakota’s Bakken shale, according to the Paris-based International Energy Agency. Iraq could do the same with 60.”  Source:  http://finance.yahoo.com/news/dream-u-oil-independence-slams-000001732.html

 

We discussed the economics of horizontal shale wells 5 years ago and had concluded then that the economics didn’t add up.  Now the media is admitting the same conclusion.  I wonder why the media took so long to draw the same conclusion?  Maybe it is because those in charge of the stories did not see fit to share the reality until now.

Civil Unrest

Saturday, February 22nd, 2014

Energy is big business.  Whoever controls the energy supply runs the show.  As long as Saudi Arabia requires U.S. Dollars for their oil, the Dollar will be a world currency.  Iraq tried to bypass the Dollar.  Result:  They were invaded and Saddam was removed.  Iran is bypassing the Dollar.  Result:  They are economically isolated.  There is now civil unrest in the Ukraine.  Who are the instigators?  It just happens to occur while the Winter Olympic Games are being held in Sochi.

It would appear that the central planners are working to keep the current status quo… until Our Heavenly Father implements the next aspect of HIS plan.
