Countries are diversifying away from the U.S. dollar and the Euro as they are perceived more and more as fiat currencies.  Other central banks are reducing dollar holdings and are creating trade agreements dealing in local currencies thus sidestepping the dollar.  An example of barter:  India and China have Gold for Oil agreements with Iran.

China now has local currency swap agreements with Russia, Japan, Australia, Brazil and Africa, bypassing the dollar.  The flight to hard assets versus paper currency is also manifesting in China.  China is loaning its dollar surplus to countries and expecting to be repaid in oil or metals, not currency; a new “barter economics” developing.

Gold is fast being exported by Italy to Switzerland, and the rush of the wealthy toward global real estate, jewelry and art, in an effort to replace fiat currencies with hard assets, is pushing prices to record levels.  Yet the dollar exchange rate is up thus far, and the Gold price is down.  Not for long.

A recent Bloomberg’s headline was, ‘China’s Gold Imports From Hong Kong Slump on Quota Backlog’.  Here is another news article designed to mislead the public.  The reality is that China’s imports of gold fell month-to-month from 104 tons to 101 tons.  Actually, China is on a path to import, just through Hong Kong, 1,200 tons of gold at this pace for the year of 2013.  Does the following graph suggest anything different?

If the world ever starts to price key commodities such as oil in gold, the U.S. dollar will experience hyperinflation.  Purchasing power will be lost at a very high rate of speed.  On the other side of the transaction, gold and silver will skyrocket in relative terms.

We are currently in a slow motion global bank run.  People are converting out of fiat currency into gold, silver, and other tangible assets.  They are losing faith in the fiat currency system.  When this happens, power is transferred.  We have breakdowns occurring on numerous fronts in the global financial system.  The Fed is working overtime to keep the markets at bay.  Mr. Ponzi would be proud of this financial juggling event.

Clearly I long for the Power from On High to manifest fully and completely in the earth.  Love has all the solutions to the current problems.  When the Divine Intent is manifested through the Mature Sons and Daughters and they are endowed with the power and authority, true change will occur.  A system of Equal Weights and Measures will prevail.  There will be Truth in the Transaction once again.

Recent reports show 1,300 tons of gold are missing from the Bank of England.  Further, LBMA warehouse inventories of gold have dramatically decreased.  The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) is the international trade association that represents the wholesale market for gold and silver, which is centered in London but has a global client base.  Daily gold prices are set in London.  GOFO (Gold Forward Offered Rates) turned negative beginning July 8th.  See: http://www.lbma.org.uk/pages/index.cfm?page_id=55&title=gold_forwards&show=2013&type=daily#latest  In theory, this isn’t supposed to happen.  The gold paper market is breaking down.  This tells us that people want their physical gold now and they are not confident that they can get it in the near future.

The U.S. is releasing highly questionable economic data.  Recently, they changed the meaning of employment to show an improvement in the unemployment numbers.  Before long, the panhandlers on the street may be included as being “employed”.  Don’t forget the children who are paid an allowance for doing chores.  I feel another redefinition coming.

John Williams of shadowstats.com wrote: “This should become increasingly evident as the disgruntled global markets begin to move sustainably against the U.S. dollar.  As discussed earlier, a dollar-selling panic is likely this year—still of reasonably high risk in the next month or so—with its effects and aftershocks setting hyperinflation into action in 2014.  Gold remains the primary and long-range hedge against the upcoming debasement of the U.S. dollar, irrespective of any near-term price gyrations in the gold market.”

What does all of this mean?  Physical gold is moving from the Western nations to the Eastern nations.  The recent smackdown of the gold price did not increase the availability of physical gold for sale but in fact is reducing the supply.  Why?  Because people are buying at cheaper prices and holding as insurance against further currency debasement.  The same is true for silver.  It appears that the central planners called on the Bank of England to handle the smackdown by selling 1,300 tons of gold into the market.  Oops, it did not produce the outcome they hoped for.  Instead, their inventories got “jack slapped” by the Kings of the East.  What were they thinking?

The derivatives in the banking system are highly toxic.  If the Fed begins to taper it Quantitative Easing(printing digital money) soon to any large degree, interest rates are going to go up sharply.  This will literally endanger the entire banking system.  Bond values will plunge, government interest expense will go sky high, pension funds will again suffer greater losses, etc.  It will be like a scene from the Lawrence Welk Show where all the bubbles pop.

However, the populace will not be smiling.  Since 2008, The Fed has printed tremendous amounts of money and the economy will not respond.  They are running out of options.  They know it.  The Kings of the East know it.  We know it.  When will the music stop?  Only Our Heavenly Father knows.

Spiritual preparation is of greatest importance now.  We are approaching a climax of economic change and a majority of the people will not be equipped to handle the change.  They will look to Our Heavenly Father for guidance in the midst of their desperation.  The Remnant will be the ones who will be tasked by Heaven to bring forth the Kingdom.  I don’t think we are decades away from this climax, a few years at the most.  A few days at the earliest.  We must keep our eyes on Above.  Each day counts.

Each transaction has “Intent” behind it.  In today’s world, the biggest challenge for each of us is to discern the intent when transacting with others.  Yes, there is the “letter” of the law so to speak, but there is also the intent behind the transaction.  How wonderful it would be for us to never be concerned whether the person on the other side of the transaction was misleading or deceiving us in some manner!

Each country attempts to enforce truth in a transaction by passing laws to insure compliance.  The U.S. has developed a sophisticated regulatory system to oversee transactions.  However that does not eliminate the problem, it simply manages the problem.  Powerful people tend to be overlooked by the regulators who in turn hope to gain by allowing them to operate “under the radar”.  This is true in the financial markets.  Regulations have done little to dissuade large players from deceiving and manipulating the market for unfair gain.  The current system is on the precipice of failure due to the lack of “Truth in the Transaction”.

Gold and silver-based economies have historically prevailed in support of truth in transactions.  Why?  Men cannot manipulate the value of these precious metals.  However, they can reduce coin content and replace precious metal with cheap metal.  Yes, that has been done many times throughout history.  Lawlessness seeps into the monetary system as greed takes over.  This lawlessness continues to grow until the overall system collapses due to mistrust.  The current economic system is rapidly moving toward this day of reckoning.

What initiates this day of reckoning?  I would suggest that it is Divine Intent.  Our Heavenly Father judges the condition of mankind and moves to expose the lawless and corrupt system so that the people will repent and turn from their wicked ways.

What can you and I do about this problem?  We can pursue doing business with those who promote “Truth in the Transaction”.  After all, we transact business everyday, every minute, with a multitude of businesses.  Whether we are buying electricity to keep the lights on or purchasing groceries, we participate in transactions on a daily basis.

I see the evolution of unity153.net including the promotion of the “Truth in the Transaction” way of doing business.  We all want to pay a fair price for goods and services, don’t we?  Wouldn’t it be nice to do business with someone who has your best interest in mind?  On the other side of the transaction, wouldn’t it be nice for the buyer to promote a fair price rather than figuring out how little profit they can squeeze out of you?  Profit is necessary to sustain a thriving business.  In the Parable of the Talents, Our Heavenly Father expected the servants to make a profit.  HE expects a fruitful harvest.

In the next couple of months we will be bringing a vitamin/supplement company to fruition.  This company will base its existence on “Truth in the Transaction”.  The name of the product line is Creation’s Nutrients.  It is a “for profit” business.  The goal for this entity is to be a template for other businesses to follow.  We are still working out the details but the goal is to market supplements based on the unique need of the individual, rather than using the “scatter shot” approach.  This entity is being designed with the motivation of Love for the customer.  Yes, we will need to make a profit but moreover the customer needs to have an improved quality of life.  How can we achieve this?  By the exchange of information.  Pam and I have been taking these supplements for over a decade (under a different private label).  Our health has been excellent over this time period.  When there is some issue, I add a supplement that supports my body’s ability to deal with the issue.  After all, the body is designed to heal itself.  It helps to provide it the building blocks it needs.  Each of us has a unique, dynamic system.  One supplement does not fit all needs.  However, many people suffer from similar deficiencies in their diets.  Pinpointing solutions by exchange of information will help all of us stay healthy.  I expect our long-awaited EDS project to play into the equation as well.

What would happen if a new infrastructure were to be built based on this concept of “Truth in the Transaction”?  I believe over time it would take root and overtake the other systems in place.  Righteousness will prevail.  Now you know what some of us are thinking and have been discussing for some time.  Maybe you can get a better understanding of the intent behind www.unity153.net.  Maybe its time for you to reveal yourself to us by registering at the site or… you can simply remain incognito and watch from the outside.  It’s your choice.  More to come.

I rarely have a watch date but August 12th happened to have come up on the “radar”.  It could be economically oriented.  Be vigilant!  I have no other details.  If nothing happens on that day other than the usual, no worries.  It may be personal or corporate.  At this juncture, I have no idea.
