The Truth & Facts Are Often Forgotten

April 6th, 2022

The U.S has allowed the killing of babies for decades. Next, there has been a move toward “Sodom and Gomorrah” as an accept way of life. Then, we have had two years of COVID. Now we have a war designed to bring down the current economic system to be followed by a global food shortage. Remember, I am just the messenger.

The devil and his minions are now in a frontal attack against FATHER’S current move to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. We must make whatever adjustments and take necessary actions to insure we are in the flow of The Holy Spirit. This is a battle between good and evil and it didn’t just begin 24 months ago. The love of money (greed) is the root of all evil and there is extensive evidence of what is being promoted now. It did not just begin and is clearly spiritually based from decades past. The following are just a few examples of what the enemy has been up to.

The Pentagon Papers revealed that presidents had consistently lied about our involvement beginning with Eisenhower:

The Pentagon Papers revealed that the U.S. had secretly enlarged the scope of its actions in the Vietnam War with coastal raids on North Vietnam and Marine Corps attacks—none of which were reported in the mainstream media. For his disclosure of the Pentagon Papers, Ellsberg was initially charged with conspiracy, espionage, and theft of government property; charges were later dismissed, after prosecutors investigating the Watergate scandal discovered that the staff members in the Nixon White House had ordered the so-called White House Plumbers to engage in unlawful efforts to discredit Ellsberg. Agent Orange was sprayed on our troops and has caused many deaths among those who served in Viet Nam. My brother-in-law died prematurely from this toxin exposure. It was admitted on his death certificate by a VA doctor… finally. My friend who was a medic died from similar exposure at a relatively young age due to lung cancer making his wife a widow. He was not a smoker but had substantial exposure to the toxin. How sad!

The classic method to cover up a lie is to attack those who reveal the Truth by discrediting them.

How many presidents continue to lie about the necessity to our involvement in other countries’ affairs?

How long will FATHER continue to tolerate the lies among world leaders?

I am now convinced that The Remnant is keeping certain, harsh judgment from coming full force on The U.S. It is our mandate to overcome the devil and his minion army so that The Kingdom of GOD will prevail. As I have said multiple times in the past, FATHER reserves the last moves for HIMSELF.

Ask yourself why those in charge are still withholding details of JFK’s removal from the public after nearly six decades. JFK wanted to bypass the Federal Reserve and issue silver certificates (Executive Order 11110). After his death, this was rescinded by LBJ.

Understand that Gaddafi (Libya) tried to bypass the Federal Reserve. Saddam Hussein (Iraq) talked about the gold dinar, or a gold backed currency, and what happened? They got killed, and their countries got invaded and their gold stolen.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 10:

 3-4 For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.  5 We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought  and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. 

What you see on mainstream media is the narrative of deception. Those paying for this narrative are supporting the greedy interests of those in power. This is why it is critical that you and I arise to full spiritual maturity so that we will operate under the full anointing of Our Heavenly Father in HIS Power and authority. This is our only option– to be fully led by The Holy Spirit.

The following interview provides the details of what is happening in the natural realm:

Petro-Ruble Takes Down Dollar & Drives Up Gold – Bill Holter

Bill uses many technical terms you may not understand. Don’t worry about the terms but focus on the main issues expressed. The value of the US Dollar is declining and the value of real things (oil, gasoline, coal, fertilizer, wheat, etc) is going up and will increase the cost of living. We will soon deal with unpayable debt promoted and guaranteed by the U.S. thus defaults will occur. Roughly the last 10 minutes provides the summary of all the technical details.

Do not fear but instead fill your lamps with “Oil”. We were placed on the earth at this time to fulfill our callings and confront the evil before us. Jesus went about doing good and so should we. Let us not cower down and hide in the closet but be bold according to what FATHER is directing. Now is the time to be fully led by THE SPIRIT!

The Mature Relationship

April 5th, 2022

We really need to fully accept FATHER’S Word as being totally true, accurate, and empowering… then walk in It.  However, it is all about relationship.  HIS Covenant with us is intended to be based on our relationship with HIM as Our Heavenly Father.

Those who truly Love THE LORD are givers but those who try to work the system are takers and don’t have a mature, intimate relationship with FATHER.  HE knows the difference.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

7“Ask, and the gift is yours. Seek, and you’ll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. 8 For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.

Christians like to focus on the above passage without reading the next verses.  Their immaturity is exposed when they simply want more for themselves without regard to the needs of others.  As Kenneth Hagin used to say, “Me and my four and no more.”  However, Jesus continued:

9“Do you know of any parent who would give his hungry child, who asked for food, a plate of rocks instead? 10 Or when asked for a piece of fish, what parent would offer his child a snake instead? 11 If you, imperfect as you are,  know how to lovingly take care of your children and give them what’s best, how much more ready is your heavenly Father to give wonderful gifts to those who ask him?”

Jesus now explains FATHER’S relationship as being better than your earthly father and would not give you anything that would hurt you.  HE Loves us unconditionally and only wants the best for us no matter what our state of immaturity.  I look back at my own life and see how I was oriented toward selfishness when I was immature.  FATHER in HIS great grace and mercy was longsuffering with my immaturity thus I have a great appreciation for HIS Agape Love.

We have a covenant with Our Creator but it is reserved for those who truly Love HIM and obey HIM.  Why?  If you consume the benefits on your flesh and soul, you will surely die and HE does not promote death or destruction in any form.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 2:

6 However, there is a wisdom that we continually speak of when we are among the spiritually mature.  It’s wisdom that didn’t originate in this present age, nor did it come from the rulers of this age who are in the process of being dethroned.  7 Instead, we continually speak of this wonderful wisdom that comes from God, hidden before now in a mystery.  It is His secret plan, destined before the ages, to bring us into glory.  8 None of the rulers of this present world order understood it, for if they had, they never would have crucified the Lord of shining glory.  9 This is why the Scriptures say:

Things never discovered or heard of before,

things beyond our ability to imagine —

these are the many things God has in store

for all His Lovers.

10 But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit.  Yes, He has revealed to us his inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, Who constantly explores all things. 11After all, who can really see into a person’s heart and know his hidden impulses except for that person’s spirit? So it is with God. His thoughts and secrets are only fully understood by His Spirit, the Spirit of God.

The spiritually mature will be able to consistently walk in the Covenant established by Our Heavenly Father.  These writings are to assist you in becoming mature so that FATHER will see you as one of HIS Lovers whom HE can trust.

Would you hand over your check book to a child?  Would you give a child the keys to your car?  The Keys to The Kingdom are reserved for those who know how to handle such responsibility… without question!

Relational Versus Positional

April 4th, 2022

We really need to fully accept FATHER’S Word as being totally true, accurate, and empowering… then walk in It.  However, it is all about relationship.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 10:

1Now, please listen, for I need to address an issue. I’m making this personal appeal to you by the gentleness and self-forgetfulness of Christ. I am the one who is “humble and timid” when face-to-face with you but “bold and outspoken” when a safe distance away.  2Now I plead with you that when I come, don’t force me to take a hard line with you (which I’m willing to do) by daring to confront those who mistakenly believe that we are living by the standards of the world, not by the Spirit’s wisdom and power.

Our focus must always be spiritual rather than being diverted to the physical realm.

3-4 For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with Divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.  5We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. 6Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience.

We must immerse ourselves in The Word and It must become first and foremost in our lives.  Jesus is Our Elder Brother and we must have a personal relationship with Him.  How?  By focusing on His Words and His Way.  He is our perfect Example and we want to be treated as His friend from a relational point of view.

Yes, we have a positional status by being born again.  This gets us to Heaven.  However while we are on this earth, we should focus on doing His commands and walking in Agape Love.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into Heaven’s kingdom. It is only those who persist in doing the will of My Heavenly Father. 22On the day of judgment many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, don’t you remember us? Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we cast out demons and do many miracles in Your Name?’ 23But I will have to say to them, ‘Go away from me, you lawless rebels! I’ve never been joined to you!’

24“Everyone who hears My teaching and applies it to his life can be compared to a wise man who built his house on an unshakable foundation. 25When the rains fell and the flood came, with fierce winds beating upon his house, it stood firm because of its strong foundation.

26“But everyone who hears My teaching and does not apply it to his life can be compared to a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27When it rained and rained and the flood came, with wind and waves beating upon his house, it collapsed and was swept away.”

Jesus explicitly warned us and will separate those who had no personal relationship with Him but simply “worked the system”.

Walking In Authority

April 3rd, 2022

You don’t need to “work” the Word; you simply need to accept It as being true.

We don’t need to ask FATHER 500 times to heal us, we really need to fully accept FATHER’S Word as being totally true, accurate, and empowering… then walk in It.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

6 Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with Me.  To know Me is to know My Father too. 7And from now on you will realize that you have seen Him and experienced Him.”

With these Words Jesus spoke, why do you question any Word Jesus expressed in The Gospels?  Why do you think that the devil does not want the Name of Jesus mentioned in the media?  The Name of Jesus, when mixed with true authority given to those willing to embrace it, is more powerful than anything else on this planet.  Once the disciples finally understood and convinced of this Truth, they were able to fulfill their callings.

Luke wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 3:

1One afternoon Peter and John went to the temple for the three o’clock prayer.  2As they came to the entrance called the Beautiful Gate, they were captured by the sight of a man crippled from birth being carried and placed at the entrance to the temple. He was often brought there to beg for money from those going in to worship. 3When he noticed Peter and John going into the temple, he begged them for money.

4Peter and John, looking straight into the eyes of the crippled man, said, “Look at us!” 5Expecting a gift, he readily gave them his attention.

6 Then Peter said, “I don’t have money, but I’ll give you this—by the power of the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, stand up and walk!”

7-8 Peter held out his right hand to the crippled man. As he pulled the man to his feet, suddenly power surged into his crippled feet and ankles. The man jumped up, stood there for a moment stunned, and then began to walk around! As he went into the temple courts with Peter and John, he leapt for joy and shouted praises to God.

9When all the people saw him jumping up and down and heard him glorifying God, 10 they realized it was the crippled beggar they had passed by in front of the Beautiful Gate. Astonishment swept over the crowd, for they were amazed over what had happened to him.

Peter and John got it!  They operated according to the revelation of what Jesus had been preaching to them for 3 ½ years.  After His resurrection, Jesus spent the additional 40 days teaching them on the Kingdom of GOD.  Once they finally connected the dots so to speak, they walked in the same power and authority as Jesus, Our Elder Brother and Perfect Example.  You and I need to set forth the same expectation.

Wood, Hay, And Stubble

April 2nd, 2022

The last two years have revealed the state of the people.  It is time to remove the wood, hay, and stubble preventing you from achieving full maturity in being led by The Holy Spirit. 

You will either repent now or later, but make no mistake, you will repent.  It is time to turn yourself in to FATHER… I had to!  I am unwilling to allow any hindrance to impede my maturing process any longer, no matter who or what is the source of the problem.  Don’t be entangled!

Wood, hay, and stubble prevent you from transitioning to the supernatural when challenges confront you.  Your belief system prevents you from accessing your full value found in your book written in Heaven.  These writing are intended to align your belief system (aka mindset), so that you will walk in full maturity as a Son or Daughter of THE MOST HIGH.  Believe me, this broken world needs us to achieve full maturity now, not later.  You don’t need to be a casualty of the current system.  Immature believers who are led by the narratives spewed out by the media subject themselves to becoming casualties.

We need to be fully prepared for the days of Noah.  Jesus spoke about His return in Luke chapter 17:

22 Later, Jesus addressed this again with his apostles, saying, “The time is coming when a great passion will be awakened within you to see me again. Yes, you will long to see the beginning of the days of the Son of Man, but you won’t be able to find Me. 23 You will hear reports from some who will say, ‘Look, he has returned,’ ‘He’s over here,’ or, ‘He’s over there!’ Don’t believe it or run after them, for their claims will be false.

24 The day of the Son of Man will burst forth with the brightness of a lightning strike that shines from one end of the sky to the other, illuminating the earth. 25 “But before this takes place, the Son of Man must pass through great suffering and rejection from this generation. 26 The same things that happened in the days of Noah will take place in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, and they were given in marriage until the day Noah boarded the ark and the devastating flood came and swept them all away.

28  “The days of the Son of Man can also be compared to the days of Lot. The people of that time lived their lives as normal. They got married, raised families, built homes and businesses, yet they were totally unaware of what was coming until the day Lot departed from Sodom. The sky opened up and rained fire and burning sulfur upon them, destroying everyone and everything they had built. So it will be on the day of the unveiling of the Son of Man. 31 “In the day of my appearing, if one is outside, he won’t even have time to go back into the house to gather his belongings. And those toiling in their fields won’t have time to run back home. 32 Don’t forget the example of Lot’s wife and what happened to her when she turned back. 33 All who are obsessed with being secure in life will lose it all—including their lives. But those who let go of their lives and surrender them to me will discover true life. 34 For in that night there will be two lying in their bed; one will be suddenly swept away while the other will be left alive. 35 There will be two women working together at household duties; one will be suddenly swept away while the other will be left alive.”

It is apparent that we are in the days Jesus spoke of in the above passage.  You and I need to embrace the Holy Fire and allow that fire to totally burn up the wood, hay, and stubble.  Then, we need to speak from The Fire and stay in The Fire.  This will remove the limitations we previously walked by and then those in need will be drawn to us for ministry.

Positive Imagination

April 1st, 2022

When are you going to be moved by the impulses of The Holy Spirit rather than the impulses of people’s opinions about you?

It is time to remove the wood, hay, and stubble preventing you from achieving full maturity in being led by The Holy Spirit.  You will either repent now or later, but make no mistake, you will repent.  It is time to turn yourself in to FATHER… I had to!  I am unwilling to allow any hindrance to my maturing process to impede me any longer, no matter who or what is the source of the problem.

My responsibility as a teacher is to encourage you to walk in full maturity, not keep you in submission to another’s control.  The Gospel is not for a select few to spread but It is meant for all who have ears to hear to be used as HIS vessels of impartation. 

It does not matter what your current situation is for FATHER can and will deliver you out of any hindrance to your calling.  It does however require you to walk in faith.  Hope precedes faith and you must conceive using your imagination to produce hope.  When imagination is used for the positive, it is a powerful resource.

FATHER gave us the negative implications of imagination in Genesis when HE moved upon Moses to write by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 6:

5 The LORD observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and HE saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil. 6 So the LORD was sorry HE had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke HIS Heart. 7 And the LORD said, “I will wipe this human race I have created from the face of the earth. Yes, and I will destroy every living thing—all the people, the large animals, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and even the birds of the sky. I am sorry I ever made them.” 8 But Noah found favor with the LORD.

In response to Noah finding favor, in Genesis chapter 8:

18 So Noah, his wife, and his sons and their wives left the boat. 19 And all of the large and small animals and birds came out of the boat, pair by pair.

20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and there he sacrificed as burnt offerings the animals and birds that had been approved for that purpose. 21 And the LORD was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things. 22 As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.”

Imagination can be for good or bad, depending on the state of our spirit.  We must not allow our imaginations to focus and dwell on anything unrighteous.  If we will only focus on righteous thoughts and Scriptures, our imagination will conceive hope which sets the stage for us to walk in faith toward full manifestation of what we initially imagined.

The Unraveling?

March 31st, 2022

Withholding information is the same as lying!  Manipulation of facts is also lying.  Those who divulge lies of leaders are frequently discredited.  This happens in the earthly courts in virtually every case heard.

We are intended to discern the Truth and not withhold it from those who have ears to hear.  Let me give you a current example that The Holy Spirit directed me to the Truth of the matter.

I was recently reading an article on macroeconomics, specifically on the current monetary system by a writer who has credibility of being “in the know”.   In passing, he mentioned Ukraine’s involvement in the Holocaust during WWII.  Immediately, The Holy Spirit directed me to research the veracity of his comment.  Why?  It provides us with understanding concerning the high level demonic spirit who controls that territory and moves upon the leaders which causes the masses to follow in ignorance.

Do you know how many Jews were slaughtered in Ukraine during WWII?  The research done by credible historians places the total in excess of 900,000.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust_in_Ukraine

Putin commented about the Nazi population which is currently living in Ukraine.  If you read the above link while it is still there and not removed by the nefarious ones, you will begin to see what is going on.  Do you think FATHER has forgotten about the events of the past in a territory controlled by demonic spirits?

You should recall when FATHER had Jesus cross the sea specifically to deal the “legion”.  They begged Him to let them stay in the territory and He obliged by casting them into the pigs.  Afterward, He immediately returned to the boat and left.  He had a singular mission to deal the demons who were controlling the area.

The current president warned his audience that the U.S. needs to remove Putin and that Russia is losing the war.  Nobody is talking about the corruption in Ukraine which was a hot topic prior to the war.  Nobody is talking about Putin’s past warnings concerning placing nuclear missiles along the western border.  Biden even mentioned this back when he was a senator during a speech.

The following video (at about 3:40) speaks of Biden’s past comments concerning “poking the Russian bear”:

I urge you to pay close attention to the following short video concerning the unraveling:

Your Mindset Is Your Limits

March 30th, 2022

Many are called but few are chosen.

Each of us has a calling and it is closely associated with our righteous passion.

If you are willing to give up your passion, you will always have it.  It may lay dormant for a period of time but it will be there once FATHER’S timing comes forth in your life.

One of the first tests you must pass is the money test.  This test is at the core in dealing with the soul and body.  Both Jesus and Paul focused on this issue so The Holy Spirit directed me to also write about it.  I personally have no problem in writing about this test because after many challenges, I was able to overcome the money test and become a cheerful giver.  Paul speaks of the issues associated with our mindset.  Do we have wood, had, and stubble that need to be removed?  Those are all aspects of immaturity and the lack of excellence.  Those issues of immaturity will be dealt with but it is our choice of when.

Paul spoke by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 3:

2 I had to nurse you and feed you with “milk,” not with the solid food of more advanced teachings, because you weren’t ready for it. In fact, you are still not ready to be fed solid food, 3 for you are living your lives dominated by the mind-set of the flesh. Ask yourselves: Is there jealousy among you? Do you compare yourselves with others? Do you quarrel like children and end up taking sides? If so, this proves that you are living your lives centered on yourselves, dominated by the mind-set of the flesh, and behaving like unbelievers. 4 For when you divide yourselves up in groups— a “Paul group” and an “Apollos group”—you’re acting like people without the Spirit’s influence. 5 Who is Apollos, really? Or who is Paul? Aren’t we both just servants through whom you believed our message? Aren’t each of us doing the ministry the Lord has assigned to us?

6 I was the one who planted the church and Apollos came and cared for it, but it was God who caused it to grow. 7 This means the one who plants is not anybody special, nor the one who waters, for

God is the One who brings the Supernatural growth.

8 Now, the one who plants and the one who waters are equally important and on the same team, but each will be rewarded for his own work. 9 We are coworkers with God and you are God’s cultivated garden, the House HE is building.

10 God has given me unique gifts as a skilled master builder who lays a good foundation. Afterward another craftsman comes and builds on it. So builders beware! Let every builder do his work carefully, according to God’s standards. 11 For no one is empowered to lay an alternative foundation other than the good foundation that exists, which is Jesus Christ!

12 The quality of materials used by anyone building on this foundation will soon be made apparent, whether it has been built with gold, silver, and costly stones, or wood, hay, and straw. Their work will soon become evident, for the Day will make it clear, because it will be revealed by blazing fire! And the fire will test and prove the workmanship of each builder. 14 If his work stands the test of fire, he will be rewarded. 15 If his work is consumed by the fire, he will suffer great loss. Yet he himself will barely escape destruction, like one being rescued out of a burning house.

In order to walk in excellence, we are to manifest our callings toward those in need whom we come in contact.  Our callings are directly related to accessing our Covenant with FATHER for we do not need to plead with HIM to receive the benefits of our Covenant with HIM but rather align ourselves so that we are found fully trustworthy.

Your mindset is your limits.

Your marketplace is based on those around you with needs and the demand for your calling is based on the manifestation of that calling where the marketplace sees it and wants to draw on it.  When we manifest our calling, a flow of supply and demand is created.  This expands The Kingdom of GOD on earth. 

Anyone who has a negative impact on your calling must be removed from your inner circle.  Those who want to impede, control and manipulate you must be identified so that their impact on your calling is removed.

Our Covenant with FATHER through Jesus Christ’s Blood is stronger than our giving.  We will receive wealth and resources from all sources because of our Covenant and we can be trusted with great wealth, however our motive must be that we Love GOD.  Those who simply attempt to work the “system” will be those who Jesus never knew.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7 concerning access to our Covenant:

7 “Ask (demand), and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! 12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

You have to be under full authority of The Holy Spirit to have authority and walk in the manifestation of your calling!

Prosperity has to do more with authority than it does giving.

Did You Hear The Shot?

March 29th, 2022

I am posting the following to provide perspective on the state of the current system. I urge you to focus on the spiritual since that is where all true solutions are found. We will navigate through the coming months by being led by The Holy Spirit rather than what fearful men do. We need to be as wise as “serpents” during these times!

I have been involved in financial markets for roughly 40 years, the news out this past Thursday was in my opinion more important than ANY announcement during those years. In fact, when I heard it, I thought of it as “the shot heard ’round the world”! But here we are Sunday and almost no discussion nor coverage of “Russia will demand trade payment from the unfriendly countries (the West) in gold…or rubles if they wish”. Are people so dumbed down they do not understand what was said?

 First a little background. Russia has been sanctioned by the West and even had some of their FOREX reserves “frozen” (read STOLEN) in an effort to bleed them dry financially and stall military efforts. The freeze came several years after the US very mistakenly began threatening Russia with a cutoff from the SWIFT system. If anyone believes that Vladimir Putin has not used these years since the original threats, to prepare, I believe you are grossly mistaken. You see, the West absolutely needs Russian trade material more than Russia needs dollars.

 Russia does not need the dollars to survive because they are not highly indebted. In fact, they are only 14% debt to GDP whereas most western nations are well above 100%. Besides, who does Russia owe money to that requires dollar payments? Western financial institutions? Do you see where this goes? By using SWIFT and the dollar as a weapon versus Russia, the US just blew a hole under the waterline in the USS Dollar!

 To explain, if Russia demands either gold or rubles from the West, then recipients of trade will need gold and or rubles to make settlement. Some nations still have gold (poor Canada) but few have any rubles held in their reserve accounts. (In fact, the US has very small foreign reserve balances as it was not needed with the dollar itself being the world’s reserve currency and dollars can and are simply printed). How will the US settle trade with Russia? By sending Ft. Knox gold…which may or may not be there as no audit has been done since the 1950’s? Or by paying with rubles which we do not own? Or will we just forego the many natural resources we import from Russia?

 The net result is severe dollar weakness and a strong bid under gold AND the ruble because any western nation wishing to import Russian material will need to either buy gold or rubles for payment. Another way of saying this is; they will need to sell either their local currency (or their dollar reserves held) in order to procure gold/rubles to make payment. Do you remember when supply and demand used to “matter”?

 In the same way that Russia views the Ukraine as we did the Cuban missile crisis, Russia’s demand for payment in gold/rubles is to Kissinger arranging for Saudi Arabia to ONLY accept dollars for oil. Settlement flows are huge and not just on the margin. They are not just huge, they are “contagious” if you will? There are many countries who today use dollars because they have to, they have been forced to. I also believe much of the current trade settlement in dollars would be done in other currencies if it was “allowed”. It will not be a shock to see dollar trade flows shrink dramatically as many nations will use this as an opportunity to shed their dollar hegemony shackles!

 Let’s finish with an overview. The US has for years relied on “King dollar” to support living well beyond our financial means. Having the privilege of issuing the world’s reserve currency (and the most powerful military) allowed the US to borrow $ trillions upon trillions. This is now changing after our bungled retreat from Afghanistan…and now Russia challenging the trade dollar. Can you imagine what US GDP would have been all these years without massive deficit spending? Can you imagine the levels where equity markets would be trading if not for all the easy and free credit thrown around? Can you imagine where interest rates would have been (and will be) if it wasn’t for reserve currency privilege? And thus, can you imagine what the US standard of living would have been? Unfortunately, we are about to find out the answers to all these questions!

 Lastly, please understand the coming problems as they will entail every facet of life. US (and global) financial markets will be greatly affected as lower dollar demand will create a de facto margin call on an already struggling Ponzi scheme. Also, trade balances will be forced back into relative realignment. Meaning those with the greatest trade deficits will feel the pain the most. Especially those nations that allowed their manufacturing and production to leave and instead import. Is the current predicament because of poor judgement/decisions/planning…or, was it the plan all along?

Standing watch,
