The most interesting number to me is “16”, the number of Love.  Love will ultimately have its way:

Focus on Love and everything else will play out accordingly.  A global currency reset is “small potatoes” in the biggest of pictures.

Debt is soaring around the world.  The stock market is soaring and things are getting crazy.  Six years of zero percent interest rates are devastating the middle class.  48,000,000 people are on food stamps in the U.S. 11,000,000 people are on disability.  The jobs report looked good until you look at the numbers behind the numbers.  All of the growth was in “part-time” jobs (800,000).  Full-time jobs are declining (500,000).  The net effect was an increase of 300,000.  Put some more lipstick on that pig please.

In Iraq it continues to get ugly.  Syria is concerned.  Saudi Arabia is too.  The turmoil could affect the price of oil and push it up dramatically.  The goal of the printing press is to make everyone feel good and overlook all of these problems.  The U.S. armed the Syrian rebels and they became ISIS.  We are now fighting them.  The geopolitical arena is so fragile, there are many black swans that could burst the money bubble.

As the debt increases, men do insane and desperate things.  China borrowed 15 Trillion Dollars to build infrastructure that may never become economical.  Ghost cities will degrade over time.  The risks are high everywhere.

When will the bubble burst?  Nobody knows.  When the bubble pops, governments will go bankrupt.  How will it go down?  Nobody knows.  Some believe that hyperinflation will kick in.  Others believe that a deflationary collapse will occur.  The average guy will be the one who will suffer the most pain.

We have been convinced by the car dealers to take out 96 month car loans since everybody needs a luxury SUV.  Hardly anybody can afford 36 month loans anymore.  Students are borrowing huge amounts to get a degree that may never support a payback plan.  The population has deferred the economic pain of compression.  Will we have a Great Depression II or a Weimar Republic hyperinflation?  Maybe both, one after the other.

The Ponzi scheme continues because the money printing press has deferred the ultimate reset.  The longer it takes to reconcile the “books”, the more severe the overall pain.

Social unrest will come.  High density population areas will be susceptible to the greatest social unrest.

Move toward self-sufficiency.  Lower personal expenses/cost of living.  Become indispensible at your job (if you have one).  As I continue to preach:  Simplify.

Man’s ego will be “popped” once again.  Everyone will ask “How did this happen?”  The ego “caused the mouth to write checks the body could not cash”.  I know I sound like a broken record but this is no different than the years before the tech bubble popped.  It is no different than when the real estate bubble popped.  We are now in the “mother” of bubbles.  It will get ugly for those who have their trust in the ways of the world.  There is a vast majority in that boat and it will eventually sink.  The solutions to all of the coming challenges will be found only from Above.  The revelation of Love will be the key to opening your understanding.  I am convinced of this Truth.

Technically, silver’s future could look like this:

As a disclosure, I invest in silver and related stocks.

There has been some focus placed on July 20th as a possible economic/monetary event that might affect us all.  These days, anything could happen.  The complexities that have been created by man have increased to the point where any aspect of the current system could fail, or caused to fail by some nefarious plan implemented in order to bring us into further subjection.  It is my hope that this chatter is simply another mind-generated suspicion without any substance.  However, I would rather be prepared for such an event than be a day late with regret.

The American economy continues to weaken.  Our latest trek to the Alabama coast confirms that belief.  We have been going down South for the past 38 years and have a good feel for the economy based on the crowds or lack thereof.  Restaurants are no longer packed, traffic was not as heavy, and the beach was not overcrowded except for July 3rd and 4th.  People are cutting back in all areas.  Food prices are going through the roof and gasoline prices were in the mid to high $3 range.  We’re growing accustomed to the new price levels.

In the past, the solution to America’s economic woes focused on war.  People are weary about another war at this time.  A false flag event could take place in order to sway the population into yet another major conflict.

Since the 2008 meltdown, the banking system has not improved at all.  On the contrary, it is more fragile today than ever and the big banks have increased in size and concentration.  Their political funding has once again paid off in spades.  At the same time, the middle class is shrinking.  This group was the economic engine to keep the economy growing.  Consumption continues to decline and the true statistics reveal this reality.  This is why one must be aware of the possibility of an act of desperation by those in control.

In such a complex world, what can you and I do?  My long-term solution comes from Above, not here at the worldly level.  In Scripture there were 13 recorded famines.  Mankind brought on these famines.  Our Heavenly Father had the solutions to the famines then as HE does now.  HE knows that a Remnant will intercede for mankind and HE will sustain that Remnant while the rest of the world goes through whatever judgment necessary to once again balance the scales.  Jesus’ ministry occurred during the occupation by Rome yet He had no problem in rallying resources as needed to minister to the hungry.  Should we expect anything less now?

The noise of the current system can be deafening if you let it.  Each of us should enter into our “closet” and focus on hearing Our Father’s Voice.  HE will guide us through whatever lies ahead.  If something major does happen on the 20th, those who rely on Our Father will be the examples for others to see and emulate.  We will be the calm ones in the midst of the storm.

For those who own physical silver and/or silver stocks, the following article makes some notable points about what is going on in the metals markets:

http://blog.milesfranklin.com/its-a-trap

The U.S. continues to alienate the rest of the world with its arrogance.  The bully can only intimidate the rest of the neighborhood for so long before everyone else has finally had enough.  The manipulators of the metal have played on the emotions of the investors, believing they could minimize the demand for silver as well as gold.  Those who believe history must be considered as a strong indicator of the ultimate direction of these metals have taken these times to add to their positions.  Patience rewards those who are not swayed by the tactics of the manipulators.

Inflation in food prices has definitely shown up in our local economy.  Prices are up by at least 10% this year.  Has your paycheck or social security check increased by this amount?  Probably not.  The middle class is shrinking rapidly in the U.S. This is where economic growth has come from in the past.  As baby boomers respond to higher prices, you can be assured that they will begin to cut out any extravagance of the past.  It may take a few quarters to show up in the GDP, but expect to see retail spending weaken.

$45,000 for a new Ford pickup?  You’ve got to be kidding.  $9 for a “pick two” at the local Panera Bread?  Outrageous.  $4+ for a gallon of milk?  I am sounding like my parents now.  Our paper money continues to depreciate in value.  Physical assets are the only true stores of value in the end.  Some of them are even suspect.

Russia’s accumulation of gold:

China has a similar graph.  They see the change coming.  The bully will be overcome and the rest of the neighborhood will go about its business.
