The Two Prominent Scenarios

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

The global economy appears to be moving toward one of two scenarios:  hyperinflationary depression or deflationary implosion.  The central banks will side on the hyperinflationary depression route by printing money at an ever-increasing rate.  They have no tools to combat a deflationary implosion.  This has the potential of getting ugly out there.  It might be wise to get as liquid as possible.  Keeping about 30 days of cash on hand is not a bad idea if you can swing it.

Hyperinflation results from a rapid and continuing increase in the supply of money, which occurs when a government prints money or creates credits in bank accounts, instead of collecting taxes to fund government activities.  Some view hyperinflation as being 100% inflation in one year.  Less than that is called high inflation.  I would suggest that hyperinflation varies from country to country based on historic levels.  I would call 30% inflation in the U.S. at the “hyper” level.  Couple that with a severe drop in economic activity and you have a hyperinflationary depression.

On the other hand, a deflationary implosion is where the money supply contracts at an increasing rate and the population quits spending, fearful of the future.  Economic activity dries up and spirals to lower levels.  The diversity of the U.S. economy would slow the process initially.  However, as executives see a drop in demand, they would respond by contracting their operations as quickly as possible.

Fear and uncertainty cause investors to rapidly move toward a position of preserving their wealth.  Gold and silver have been the historic investments of safety.  Currently, Central Banks around the world are increasing their gold reserves.  China and India have made noteworthy increases to their reserves.  Other countries are now considering a move to take possession of the gold reserves held at the NY Federal Reserve.  The EU wants to loan their members money with their gold as collateral.  I guess gold is no longer a “relic” in the minds of the central banks.

Results of Iceland’s Jubilee

Sunday, June 10th, 2012

Iceland economy grows at fastest pace in four years: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/08/us-iceland-gdp-idUSBRE8570UA20120608

I guess that once you throw the big banks out and declare a jubilee you can get back to productive business.  This generation of Icelanders will not let themselves be hoodwinked again.  I find it interesting that the article does not discuss the jubilee at all.  It gives all the credit to the IMF.

Eliminating Sovereignty using Monetary Weapons

Saturday, June 9th, 2012

The Germans invaded France in 1870.  See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_France_(1870)

The Germans invaded France in 1914.  See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_France_(1914)

The Germans invaded France in 1940.  See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_France

None of those attempts worked out for Germany.  There was much loss of life and destruction of property associated with those attempts.  This time the method is different.  The strategists have finally figured it out.  You create an easy money policy and convince the population to borrow more money than they can possibly pay back.  You then threaten to cut off their ability to sustain their current lifestyle.  What are the people willing to give up: lifestyle or sovereignty?  Germany has the strongest economy of the European Union and they are wielding their economic power in an attempt to force the other European countries into a “sovereign” economic union where each country must give up its independence and submit to a central government and central bank.  Of course, Germany would be the major ruling entity.  Do you think that will fly?

The use of fear of the unknown is enabling those in power to sway many to give up the sovereignty.  Many of the people are now living in hopelessness.  Unemployment of the youth exceeds 50% across most of the countries.  Hopelessness leads to desperation.  Desperation leads to an extreme response, one way or another.  Either submission or violence will ensue.  The U.S. understands this as well.  Could this be why some of the Executive Orders have promoted greater control over the population even though they have not yet been acted upon?

Control can be achieved by might or money.  If you have they monetary system on your side, money is the preferred method.  However, if you decide to pursue a simpler, non-leveraged life, what can the wealthy lure you with?  The trappings of this world lead to entrapment.  Think about it.

An Example of Managing Perception instead of reporting Reality

Friday, June 8th, 2012

Bloomberg reported yesterday: “Household Net Worth in U.S. Increases by Most Since 2004”.

The article would have us believe that all is getting better. See:

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-07/household-worth-in-u-s-rose-by-2-83-trillion-in-first-quarter.html

Wrong.  What it fails to tell the reader is that for the 3rd quarter of 2011: “Net worth for households and non-profit groups decreased by $2.45 trillion to $57.4 trillion, the Federal Reserve said today in its flow of funds report from Washington. Americans reduced debt in the third quarter, extending a string of declines dating back three years”.

See: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-12-08/household-wealth-in-u-s-falls-a-second-quarter-on-home-price-drop-europe.html

If you only read the first article, the mainstream media (MSM) would give you the perception that things are getting better.  Is it poor reporting or is there some mandate to make us think that things are better than they truly are?  Bloomberg wrote both articles.  You be the judge.

Pain ahead

Friday, June 8th, 2012

Debt levels continue to be at historic highs both in the personal sector as well as the public sector.  To qualify for a loan, the lending institutions have reverted back to rather stringent borrowing requirements so it doesn’t matter how low the cost of money is, people won’t or can’t borrow more.  To add insult to injury, the savers are being punished by being paid virtually nothing for their savings accounts.  The beneficiary is the federal government.  Near zero interest rates keep the interest payments unrealistically low so the government can delay any attempt to reduce spending.  With such a large debt structure any interest rate spikes could send the economy  into a tailspin.  The Federal Reserve believes that inflating your way out of debt is the only road to take.  This means that any wealth you have accumulated that does not keep up with inflation will be depreciated in purchasing power in order to pay for poor fiscal policy decisions.  The innocent once again pay for the guilty.

There is no silver bullet to solve this situation.  Someone will pay.  The con artist will attempt to misdirect you in order to extract your money.  The strategists will attempt to convince you all is well while your hard earned wealth gets sucked out of your savings account.  Terms such as “for the greater good” will be resurrected to convince the population to rally around the Flag.  Exploitation of the masses will occur until their eyes are opened and demand change.

Manipulation of the paper markets will continue to support the rhetoric coming out of politicians’ mouths.  Silver is depressed versus gold and its volatility tends to scare away investors who are not sure about the macroeconomic picture.  Historically, I have found that predicting the timing of macroeconomic change is nearly impossible.  The current environment seems to hang on longer than anyone can project.  But when that day comes, many will be caught off guard.  In the meantime, stay lean and mean.  Move your debt level to zero and keep your precious metal monthly purchasing program intact (if you have available funds).  “If you can’t pay cash don’t buy it” as Momma used to say.  “Stupid is as stupid does.”

Those who are called to serve should prepare to do just that.  We are all in this together and we should encourage others to set aside their “me and my four and no more” attitude and start thinking about the less fortunate.  Their numbers will soon increase dramatically.  Love and unity will then take center stage!

There is such an attitude of elitism and entitlement out there that I expect much sorrow to be attached to the coming pain.  Men’s and women’s egos continue to exalt themselves over others in an attempt to convince themselves that they are “special” and should be treated in that manner.  Israel demanded a king and was put into a long term judgment cycle because they wanted a social class hierarchy.  They rejected an intimate relationship with Our Heavenly Father who is not in “ego feeding” business.  Jesus made himself of no reputation but many who claim to be mature in Christendom, seek to exalt themselves over others.  When the current system comes tumbling down, pain and sorrow be widespread even among those who were thought to be mature in Christ.  Focusing on Love now will properly position you for the upcoming events.

Eurozone Realities

Thursday, June 7th, 2012

Bank runs in Europe are moving closer to a wide scale basis.  Countries are passing legislation to restrict capital flows.  The U.S. does not want its citizens moving money out of its borders.  Why?  They are concerned about future economic stability.  The think tanks are busy trying to foresee what might happen given the current circumstances.  One must only look at the actions of leaders to determine what they are privately thinking.  While they are attempting to sell the public on the idea that “all is well” and we are on the road to recovery, they are busy implementing stop gap measures to prevent the wheels coming off the economic wagon.  Freedoms are being curbed, tax laws are becoming more restrictive, and don’t forget to empty your pockets before going into security to board your plane.  Large corporations and banks receive favorable treatment as we enter into the uncharted territory of economic lawlessness.  The problem in the Eurozone runs parallel to that of the U.S.  We are told that things are manageable then suddenly the politicians call for emergency meetings.  This has been the rule since 2008.  We reported the current issues years in advance.  This is not new news.  Our Heavenly Father has given us adequate warning about the impending economic disaster.  The following slides from a great presentation provide us some detail of the issue in Europe.  The  U.S. could be substituted for Germany but with larger numbers.  In the link below, you can view all slides of the presentation.  In the end of this complex issue, who is on the line for the losses?  The taxpayer/saver who has his wealth concentrated in paper currency.  What a mess!

The following is part of the core issue to Germany:

Kingdom Enterprises

Monday, June 4th, 2012

Read the following and contemplate it:

The problem with "Christian" businesses is just that —
    Christian business — they are not Kingdom
Enterprises.

Christian businesses try to take the world’s model —
    the bottom line being money — and add Christ to
    it.  It is like when My Son first came: they had a
    model, Judaism, and they wanted to keep it.  They
    wanted to add Christ to Judaism and keep all the
    old ways.

This is the same today, not because people don’t
    have the right heart, but because they do not
    have the revelation of what a Kingdom Enterprise
    is, its foundation, its principles, or how it is to
    function in the Kingdom.

This is KEY — profound — pay attention!
    The foundation is Me, My Love, and to serve people.
    The bottom line of Kingdom Enterprises is not
    money, nor can it be.
To check what your bottom line is; check what
    your decisions are made from — money or people.
Decisions in the Kingdom will be made because they
    are right and in line with the Kingdom — not
    because of money.

Money is to be used in the Kingdom and for the Kingdom,
    but will not to be the basis of the Kingdom.
So this is the start of what I have to show you
    about Kingdom Enterprises.

As I have shown before, to have the proper Foundation
    and bottom line is KEY for a Kingdom Enterprise.
   
Some think the purpose of a Kingdom Enterprise should
    be making money.  It is not.  It is service; money
    is the by-product of a fruitful Kingdom Enterprise —
    with the proper Foundation and Covenant.

After the proper Foundation is established, next comes
    the Covenant.  I start relationships with a Covenant.
    First, between Myself and initiators , and then with
    the people.  The Covenant states that the initiators
    and the Kingdom Enterprise will embody all of Who I
    AM — Love, Mercy, Grace, Justice, and that people
    are more important than money. This will be the
    Covenant that the Kingdom Enterprise will operate from.

Then will come the Covenant between the initiators
    and the people (helpers or doers).  They will covenant
    with the people that they, as initiators,  will fully
    implement the Covenant that they have made with Me.

If the people believe in the Foundation and Covenant
    between Me and the initiators, then they will enter
    into the Covenant.  It becomes their Covenant — a
    Covenant between Me, the initiators, the people
    and the Kingdom Enterprise.

A Kingdom Enterprise will be unified as one in the
    Covenant with shared goals for the purpose of
    service.  No longer, as with worldly businesses,
    will there be competing groups that bring separation.
When the Kingdom comes in fullness, it will be a whole
    New World where enterprises will be conducted in
    My ways, not because of the bottom line of money.
My Kingdom come!

www.unity153.net is now under peer review

Monday, June 4th, 2012

I was asked to speak at the Dallas Pentecost  Conference that happened to begin on the 153rd day of the year.  It was appropriate to announce that the Kingdom Enterprise website was now operational since that day happened to be my target for completing the initial development of the website.  Our Heavenly Father chose that day back on March 17th at the Sunny Day meeting in Eau Claire, WI.  We are all called to be obedient to HIS Word.  I am doing my part and I trust you are doing your part as well.  If not, Our Heavenly Father will raise others to complete the tasks at hand.

This website will begin the process of connecting people with callings and resources reserved for establishing the Kingdom of GOD on earth.  The site is designed for global access and is funded through Servias Ministries, Inc. and/or its directors.  We expect the site to grow and expand in function as Our Heavenly Father directs.  We expect “Kingdom Enterprises” to arise from the connections made here.  Their focus will be to serve mankind rather than mammon.  What a refreshing thought!  Love will be the basis for Kingdom Enterprises rather than greed and lust.  Any information you enter in is voluntary.  Clearly the more complete will enable us to “connect the dots” as the needs of the Kingdom arise.

The website will be reviewed and updated before people will be allowed to enter their detailed information for inclusion on the Kingdom initiative.  In the meantime, let me explain how you can sign up.

Unity153 is at hand

Thursday, May 31st, 2012

On March 17th in Eau Claire, Wisconsin at the Sunny Day Meeting, Our Heavenly Father had me proclaim the initiation of the unity153.net project.  At that time, I projected the website to be operational on June 1st.  It will officially be operational on that day.  It will continue to evolve and be enhanced but I will be able to demonstrate its use in the Dallas Conference.  June 1st happens to be on the 153rd day of the year this year since it is leap year.

There has been much resistance to this project on some levels but I was assured that the project would be completed.  The project was internally funded thus we asked for no financial assistance.  Angelic intervention was required to assure completion of the project of which I am grateful.

I believe this represents a notable turning point in establishing the Kingdom of GOD on earth.  Mystery Babylon controls the current economic system by way of banks and corporations around the world.  They channel their profits to promote their agenda of control and manipulation.  I expect the goods and services they provide will be replaced by Kingdom enterprises as the Heavenly Kingdom spreads across the globe.  As people realize the benefits of doing business with Kingdom enterprises, they will embrace the change from greed to Love.  In order for this to happen an infrastructure must be built.  Unity153 is the beginning.  May Our Heavenly Father be pleased!

What will decide November Election?

Tuesday, May 29th, 2012

A financial meltdown of the Euro could spread to the U.S. and cause Obama to lose the November election.  So what do you think any politician would do in this case?  Prop up the Euro at all costs.  How do you do that?  You direct the Federal Reserve Bank to “lend” money to the European Central Bank (ECB) in some form that will hopefully escape the public scrutiny.  Effectively, the FED will turn on the printing presses and further depreciated the value of the dollar.  The loan may go through the IMF on its way to Europe.  The goal is to win the election before the wheels fall off of the Euro wagon.

Where is that statesman when we really need him?  All stops will be pulled out to retain the status quo prior to November.  The biggest unemployment issue is a politician’s own loss of a job, whether it be a president or a prime minister.  The problem is that the world leaders do not see a real choice but to kick the can down the road.  They know the pain of the masses will be too severe and could cause chaos in the streets.  There is no worldly solution without excessive pain.  Each politician hopes that the black swan event that would evoke a tipping point to a meltdown would not happen on his or her watch.

The only solution that I see is a Kingdom-based solution.  Our Heavenly Father’s wisdom is sufficient to resolve this mess mankind has created.  Heaven has no such problems and there is sufficiency for all.  There is complete unity in Heaven.  For a system to work and replace the current system on earth there must also be complete unity.  Jesus said, “Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.”  Those who are called into unity will be “kept” through the times ahead.

By the way, during our trip to Australia we saw a family of black swans:
