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 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.

See: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/gold-fix-study-shows-signs-090756962.html

“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.

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.

There is no honor among thieves.  We must be extremely cautious over the next 33 months.  All indications are that there is a economic  cataclysmic event on the horizon.  Any asset you can’t hold in your hand or physically look at may be at risk.  Paper is only as good as honor among both parties.  History is full of examples where contracts were broken, money was confiscated, accounts were frozen, and rules were changed while people slept.

The scales will be balanced by Our Heavenly Father.  HE knows the nefarious motives of those who think they are in charge of things.  HE will allow them to be exposed of their hidden motives.  I expect a “Great Reset” and the lawlessness resident in the financial system will be cleansed.  Exactly how it plays out, only Our Heavenly Father knows. 

I like local banks over the large NY banks.  The local banks are “outsiders” and are less risky than the big banks.  However, they have inherent risks since they typically sell Fed Funds overnight to the money center banks via the Federal Reserve.  In the 70’s, I sat on the “Money Desk” for a few days and sold $300 Million in Fed Funds each day to those same banks.  At the same time, I bought around $200 Million from our smaller correspondent banks on an overnight basis.  We would make a quarter point spread back then and call it “good”.  The next morning, the funds would automatically be returned to all parties.  Over the weekends, we bought and sold Fed Funds for 3 days.  What would happen if the Fed shut down operations on Friday night?  Bank liquidity would go to zero!  Depositors could not get their money out.  Those excess funds sold might exceed the bank’s liquid capital.  In response, the bank might “call” all loans.  This would mean borrowers would be given notice that they must pay all outstanding loan balances (read the fine print).  This could create a domino effect throughout the economy.  That is the current exposure the banking system has.

If you buy a silver coin for about $22 right now, you take value out of your local bank and put it in your pocket.  You own “money”, not a claim against a bank account.  Obviously, we all need to keep a bank account with money in it to cover bills, mortgages, etc.  However, if calamity does come, your silver coin in your pocket is stored value, readily accessible.  This is why I view buying a few coins each month as “insurance” against calamity.  I don’t give investment advice but I am sharing with you what I believe is coming out of a heart of Love.  Who else is interested in us “little guys”?  Our Heavenly Father, not the wolves of Wall Street.

The emerging markets are being rattled by central planners in order to push the money back to the U.S. markets.  How?  When you manipulate currencies in emerging markets, the relative value of their investments will show loses and weakness.  In response, the big money begins to liquidate their positions from the emerging markets and look to a safer haven.  The U.S. stock and bond markets appear to be the best looking house in a bad neighborhood.  With the global financial connectivity, money flows quickly around the world.  Their goal is to keep the party going!

A “Pan-global cataclysm” is the term coined in a recent interview.  When?  Only Our Heavenly Father knows.  Some predict this year, others mention next year, yet a few place an outside chance for 2016.  At any rate, each of us should place our priorities in getting our house in order.  First, spiritually.  Second, relationships.  Let there be no unforgiveness found among you and your loved ones, neighbors, or acquaintances.  Thirdly,  simplify your finances, expenses, and belongings.

There are plenty of “official” signs as laws are being passed to increase control of the masses.  They see a major negative event on the horizon.  They do not know what else to do in order to protect their path of death and destruction.  Instead, they should be promoting righteousness and Love.  Those are the solutions to life more abundantly.  How many times will you read these warnings?  Until the event has happened or Our Heavenly Father has removed the imminent risk of the event.  The Scripture supports a major cleansing when there is such lawlessness and wickedness throughout the globe.  This is why I am preparing for a major cleansing.

My IRA or MyRA is designed for the poorest working people to save for retirement with as little as $5 per paycheck being placed into an account that buys U.S. Treasury Bonds.  There are already plenty of retirement vehicles out there but the President is adding another.  Why?  Mandatory confiscation of a portion of your paycheck to support the Federal debt may be ahead.  This is in addition to your other deductions of federal, state, social security, and medicare taxes.  Oops, I almost forgot your healthcare deduction as well.  The rest of your check will be to pay for rising food and rent prices.  At the same time, you will be restricted from taking money out of the bank in large and not-so-large sums.  After all, you are really an unsecured creditor and that money you put into the bank is similar to an investment.  If you try to take out too much cash, the authorities will put you on a watch list.

Welcome to the brave new world.

PS:  If this scares you, you should watch yesterday’s Online Bible study on “Fear”.  You should not fear men and their devices.  Our Heavenly Father will deal with them.  Hopefully the Bible study will give you some pointers on how to handle the coming challenges.  To watch the recorded version, go to:  http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-baptism-of-love . The title is “Dealing with fear”.
