% is $0.288T. Turn the clock forward to see a hell of a lot more cost to carry Uncle Sam’s deficits and debt I reckon. Read your prior article but have to ask, how much of the $2T is bad and will never be paid off? There is no way 100% of that $2T will ‘roll-off’ since a bunch of what they bought was supposedly junk. Also as they unwind and reduce member bank reserves, how in the hell will they pass the CCAR? They all passed this time and look at their behavior. Stock buybacks and dividends. Like a kid with a nickle in his pocket burning a hole. Most just barely passed and now that they burned through much of their capital base and with the Fed’s further shrinking it, what’s next? Granted, I may not be up to speed on this ‘new’ math but something doesn’t add up. I’ll just respond to the 2T in securities question…. All the securities the Fed has left on its balance sheet are US Treasuries and Agency mortgage backed securities (issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). All of them are good. The toxic stuff the Fed took on during the Financial Crisis (like the $30 billion in toxic securities from Bear Stearns) have been sold for cents on the dollar or written off. They used to be in the “Maiden Lane” accounts on the balance sheet, but those “Maiden Lane” accounts were whittled down and are now gone. So I don’t expect any problems with the securities it still has. When the Treasuries mature, the Fed will get the money from the Fed. The MBS work a little differently (since mortgages are paid off all the time and the proceeds flow through to the holder of the MBS). But I don’t expect any big hiccups either, unless there’s a major housing crisis over the next couple of years, which I think is unlikely. Wolf… it the Treasury has to sell new bonds to raise the money to redeem the old ones, does the net amount of bonds outstanding actually change? But I can see how the money supply would contract and rates be forced higher as a result. Seems like a huge potential negative for any rate-or-liquidity-sensitive market: stocks, bonds, and real estate. The Treasury routinely sells new bonds to redeem maturing bonds. So yes, this alone doesn’t impact the debt outstanding. But the Treasury also sells new bonds to finance current budget deficits. This makes the debt outstanding grow. “The Treasury routinely sells new bonds to redeem maturing bonds. So yes, this alone doesn’t impact the debt outstanding.” Further if the fFED redeems its bonds to treasury, then uses the cash received to reduce it’s balance sheet. Instead of swapping them for new bond’s. The bonds will be brought (SNAPPED UP) by others. Seeking safe Haven. Slowly reducing the excess liquidity in the US system and or repatriating Cash held off shore, back to the US but outside the US tax system. Which ever Occurs it is still a net positive for the US and SLOWLY reducing the Excess liquidity in the Entire Financial System – There’s no need to sell those securities to the market. When those T-bonds mature then the US government has to come up with the (tax payer) money to redeem those bonds. and the money goes to the FED. The government needs to pay off its debt to the FED. – QE was inflationary (increase of money & credit) and therefore the “unwinding” QE is Deflationary (decrease of money & credit) I think it will be an interesting topic down the road as to whether QE was inflationary or deflationary. Certainly it was meant to be inflationary, especially in asset prices (RE & financials). However, sense the money didn’t really go into the real economy, all it did was lower interest rates. Those lower interest rates reduced the income of those who get some substantial portion of their income from savings. Which of course, reduces overall demand in the economy. Which cdr alludes to above. On the inflationary side, it makes certain business investments attractive that wouldn’t be at higher interest rates. So that might create employment that would otherwise not exist. – Inflation is defined as an “Increase of money & credit”, NOT rising (asset) prices. Rising prices (houses, oil, iron ore, stocks, etc.) are required to create (credit) inflation. – As a result of QE the FED extended (more) credit to the government (=inflation). So, when the FED decreases its assets (e.g. T-bonds) it decreases the amount of credit to the government and that is Deflationary (=decrease of money & credit). – And falling prices (stocks, bonds, oil, iron ore, etc.) are required to create (credit) deflation. – When Dudley is talking about “low inflation” then he means “Prices haven’t risen too much” (using one particular inflation gauge). – But here Dudley doesn’t “get it” because – in general – rising prices is good for producers and bad for consumers. Conversely, falling prices is good for consumers and bad for producers. The Fed is just like any organization: human nature applies. It doesn’t require willful action to get things wrong, it just requires neglect. Neglect/passive “errors” will occur, e.g. inflation will be of poor quality (i.e. doesn’t reflect consumers’ real lives) if there is not a consequence to Fed higher-ups when the data are “bad”. If it confirms their bias and fits their needs, blissful ignorance will be tolerated. Anyway, don’t expect miraculous actions by the Fed. ” The FED is like any organization” Did you really think that out before commenting because I can’t imagine you could have It seems the US Federal Reserve is once again using the financial instruments so widespread nowadays: jawboning, hinting at things that will happen in the distant future and using those combinations of key words the sophisticated trading software used nowadays will translate into “buy”. The US stock market has been on a wild ride year on year but, here’s the not-so-extraordinary thing, over half these gains were thank to just ten megacaps whith just five of those accounting for a massive 37% contribution. In late July however the usual Summer selloff arrived. “Sell in May and go away” has always held true, even in times of booming stock markets: Summer months are always favored by several classes of investors to cash in their chips. Note this wasn’t a “crash” by any mean, but given the dizzying valuations reached by those ten megacaps, led by the usual FAANG (FaceBook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google/Alphabet) even that selloff dip was enough to hurt, and nobody is hurting more than a slew of huge hedge funds, which had bought heavily into the FAANG and the handful of other market drivers. William Dudley is hence trying, merely by “hinting” and providing the modern day successors to Etruscan and Roman haruspexes with entrails to be scrutinized, to reverse that selloff. If it doesn’t work, Janet Yellen herself may drop a few words of wisdom. All of those who believed the Fed will change course and start “easing” again merely because of this dip are in for a disappointment: the pace may be the same as a funeral procession advancing through a snowstorm but the course isn’t changing. Well the markets have been ignoring everything the Fed has done so far. Rates up – dollar down. Rates up – stocks up. Rates up – bonds prices barely move. So why not increase rates now? Nothing negative has really happened as a result of the recent rates increase. Who cares what happens at the bottom end of socio-economic pile – they don’t count. I guess the markets could care less about what the Fed is doing. Even here in Oz the A$ ignores all the bad news and goes up. Chinese data out the other day missed across the board and the A$ went up. The current government in office is in a heap of trouble and should by all normal standards be out on its rear – ineligible people holding office. Again basically ignored by the markets. Sort of like NK keeps pushing the USA – launch, steal tech, buy this, launch another, get slapped with a piece of kimchi – repeat again……………. Maybe one of these days people will wake up and then watch out below. See, the same guy that run our show, run your show…all the same. This program has been brought to by the makers of Geroge Soros and son. Tell u a secret, the market is the FED. We all know the “Inflation” # the fed quotes, is BS. So do they. Factor this unspoken into Dudley’s spoken. Which is why more rate hikes, and shrinking of the balance sheet, have to be the path forward. To reduce excess liquidity in the market place. What the FED has to be careful of, is that the brake is only on a one wheel apple cart, which is very overloaded, and VERY easily upset. Gentle hands, with MUCH forward guidance is the way. Only an imbecile would ignore that forward guidance. There are many financial imbeciles in America, and on the rest of the planet. Many of which, have never in the adult lives, experienced FED tightening. This is so disingenuous. Without the meddling of the BLS, inflation has been running 8-9 % annually for the last five years. Low inflation is the BIG LIE that props up the markets…here and abroad. Not in the energy markets that’s for sure I don’t necessarily buy into the massive inflation story, outside of health insurance and housing prices/rent. Not that those aren’t hugely important. But here is a little story. For years I shopped at Walmart for non-food items. One of those items is Caffeine-Free Diet Coke, which my wife likes. I’d buy a 2 liter bottle once a week. For years, the price was $1.48. It would drop to $.99 around Christmas and shoot back up again. It stayed at that price for probably 8 years. Then, last year, the price went up to $1.50. Not a big deal, but around that time I stopped shopping at Walmart altogether. Last weekend I went back for kicks. The price, in one year, went up to $1.56 for their 2 liter Coke products, and they stopped carrying my wife’s favorite type. So the price is up and the product is gone. I read a while back that Walmart was going back to “low, low prices” as part of its campaign to beat Amazon. Seems like they lied. The reason for this is coke raises prices no matter what. So does Pepsi. Walmart is only passing on their price increase. They may have a year or two contract in place but even if input prices go down, they will not lower prices. Much like high end apartment rentals. They would rather not rent, than adjust the price. But if the Fed now feels lower inflation is permanent the implication is “lower rates for longer” as it’s less afraid of overheating the economy. This negates the “hawkishness” that the first part of this article seems to imply. Is there a function in Macroeconomics, akin to Worker Productivity for Consumer Efficiency? Deflation is occurring in areas where massive low cost investments were made over the past two decades and where there is competition. If there is deflation in pharmaceutical costs, please someone, send the message to my local stores and my health insurance company. You could say that Adam’s Smiths invisible hand theory might lead to efficient consumerism, but it doesn’t. There is actually more economic theory about the opposite behavior. Thorstein Veblen wrote about conspicuous consumption and other related topics. Totally inefficient spending. More dissembling by Yellen’s flying monkeys. The Fed’s sole purpose since its clandestine 1913 founding by the robber barons of the era has been to concentrate all wealth and power into the hands of its oligarch patrons. QE-to-Infinity enables Yellen’s kleptocrat accomplices to snap up the distressed assets of the increasingly pauperized middle and working classes on the cheap, while maintaining artificially low interest rates bilks savers out of interest income and forces yield-seekers to play in Wall Street’s rigged casino. Rackets this lucrative will not be “tapered” irregardless of how the Keynesian fraudsters at the Fed try to masquerade as a responsible central bank. As long as there are unlooted deposits of wealth for Yellen’s Goldmanite handlers to sink their blood funnel into, the Fed’s monetary malpractice will continue unabated. And here is how they will accomplish it. Recently the Chinese bought an initial $50,000,000 of, what else, tea ! This tea was put into a warehouse and a digital coin was created to represent its value. Digital coins can be reduced to infinitesimal valuations and traded, and so investors can trade the tea without ever having possession ( sound familiar). Anyone know more about “Serene Country Homes” a global builder based in Singapore? Reportedly they have purchased land in Dallas and digitalized its value. Anyone but a citizen of the United States can invest in the project. TITLE is always held by the original coin owner. Can you see where this is going? Any hard asset can ( and will be ) digitalized as a source of liquidity. For instance, equity in a home could be held in a digital coin. No 2nd mortgage needed to add on a west wing, or see a movie. or buy some beans, just draw down on your digital credit. That is until it is all gone and abracadabra, you are a renter ! These people are so far ahead of ordinary folks it’s like taking candy from a baby. Got to go now and run up to the top of that hill to warn the millennials. Poor babies, they won’t even see it coming. The “wealth effect” is yet another version of trickle down theory that establishment “economists” like those at the Fed use to justify policies that only help the chosen few. Like all academic economists, these people have no idea how a functioning economy works. I would call them bozos, but that would be an insult to the clown profession. Dudley’s talk is an admission that they never understood the structural deflationary dynamics of the new world – aging demographics, technology, global competition and excess debt. His talk sounds like an admission of Fed failure on the reflation goal. Aging and arrogant economists using models they developed in the 1970s & 80s for a different world is a ridiculous recipe. So now, “failure” is painted as a “welcome” thing. We need Central Banks OUT of policy. They should only supply liquidity in a crisis. Let the bonds run off and then stay out. They have destroyed the capital allocation process and created all sorts of false markets and unintended societal problems through arrogance. I saw Alan Greenspan last week talking about how the interest rate is below the all time historical lows of 3%. He finally realized that going below the all time historic floor and keeping it there for a decade has created a crack in the system. It seems our experts wanted to test the limits of the known banking world and landed up falling off. “He finally realized that going below the all time historic floor and keeping it there for a decade has created a crack in the system. It seems our experts wanted to test the limits of the known banking world and landed up falling off.” They FED has realized that if everybody uses the same methods as the Japanese they will all fall off. THE ECB has yet to get the message. The PBOC DOSENT CARE as long as the west falls off first. Japan may finally be achieving lift off, 27 + years after it’s QE infusion. which has cost it 1 probably 2 generations. Economically permanantly trashed. The US has 3+ X Japanese population. It is only 9 years into this Cycle. Larger Population will lengthen not shorten the Cycle. Plus teh US has china deliberately Inflicting more damage on its Economy than china could inflict on Japan in the 1991 2004 period. So 3 decades away you might get some improvment. JAPAN is your base model of QE, a fact of life, like the conception cycle, you cant only change, by gross outside interference, like Abortion, Sterlisation, Abstinence. The economic equivalent, large wars, A massive FEd tightening creating what QE! sought to avoid Asset price implosion /Correction and Huge depression. The last huge depression was ended by Abortion, AKA The 1939-45 world tour. Wars BIGLY, Seem to be the cure, Trump seeks, to the Issue, all he has left in his box of tricks, besides impossible promises, and more lies. As he is now almost at war with his own Republican dominated Congress. And just like FDR, Congress may not be able to stop him starting one. Technological improvements will lead to lower prices in the SHORT RUN. Over time as there is less competition the prices will rise. Step 1 is to knock out your competitors by either buying them or undercutting their prices (like Walmart and now Amazon). Step 2 is to be the only game in town which the FTC has little problem with (i.e. big banks got even bigger). Low inflation is because inputs are cheap (interest, oil, commodities and no shortage of cheap labor). – When I look at the 3-month T-bill rate (today) then Mr. Market’s message is quite clear. No ratehike and no rate cut (anytime soon). Seems Mr. Market “didn´t get the memo”. – If/when that rate drops below 1% then I shift to the “Perhaps a ratecut” position. – Yeah, sure. Here Dudley is promulgating the usual nonsense: Inflation is the driver behind movements in interests rates. Yeah, sure and I was born yesterday. If you read his memo closely, it is not inflation, its unemployment. In his world, unemployment is the driver of inflation, which then drives interest rates. He believes we are near full employment, and, because of market dynamics, that will drive wage gains which will drive inflation. What he doesn’t appreciate is that humans aren’t widgets, and the supply/demand characteristics that might drive prices (wages) are very different between widgets and humans. Human prices can be very sticky. – Ah, indeed. If wages would rise across the board then indeed inflation would rise significantly and interest rates with it. But employers are keen on keeping wage costs under control. Think e.g. the (ab)use of H1B1 visas. And we all know unemployment statistics are a joke (think: U6 & U3) – I could be wrong of course, but that’s why I still don’t believe inflation will rise dramatically. Assume the Fed is part of the “Deep State” and the Deep State is hellbent on destroying Trump.. Quantitative Tightening may be useful to crash the markets and by doing so, crush Trump. He’ll be blamed for a popping bubble which (unfortunately) he has been taking credit for lately. QE could then be used to reflate assets once Trump is taken care of. Ron J – Right now I imagine the people in the dark and shadowy tow4er that’s the HQ of The Deep State are kicking back, feet up on their desks, munching on popcorn and some nice craft beer, and laughing their asses off. They don’t have to do a thing to “destroy Trump” just sit back and enjoy the show as he destroys himself. “They don’t have to do a thing to “destroy Trump” just sit back and enjoy the show as he destroys himself.” des-crazy-trump-215492?lo=ap_d1 The main one is that I think that the asset prices are pretty consistent with what we’re seeing in terms of the actual performance of the economy. Look at the glacially falling value of the USD$…. down 10% since January. Even Trump has stated he wants a cheap dollar. They’re going to deflate the debt away. look folks it’s simple. The fed raises rates until something breaks. Then private equity swoops in and buys all distressed assets( homes) at .40 on the $. Happened big time in Atlanta. Will happen again. Too bad USGDP is comprised mainly of consumer spending! Ha! So Wolf, how long it will take the FED to get rid of this illusionary money? How do you make sense of “low inflation” data when we’re clearly in an era of massive asset inflation? Does the low inflation data exclude asset exchanges (real estate and equities)? It’s important to distinguish between consumer price inflation, asset price inflation, and wage inflation. The Fed deals with them separately too. It’s really worried about wage inflation. It wants around 2% consumer price inflation (based on PCE). And it likes asset price inflation and generally pushes it, but now it seems the Fed is worried that it pushed asset price inflation too far. Assets are used as collateral for debt. Banks own this debt. If asset prices go too high, they tend to implode … as we have seen, causing huge problems for the banks. The risks associated with asset price inflation have been raised by many Fed heads, including Dudley. So that’s one reason they’re tightening. They want to stop asset price inflation – because they don’t want to bail out the banks again and go through another Financial Crisis. “Assets are used as collateral for debt. Banks own this debt. If asset prices go too high, they tend to implode … as we have seen, causing huge problems for the banks.” Assets are the conduit through which banks create money from thin air. The money is created with interest attached to it. Therefore, the banks’ goal is to keep inflating assets and create as many receivables as possible, interest income? Last I checked, most bank income is still from interest, despite their best efforts with fees and Wall St. gambling. I don’t think they will do it. I think they are trying to talk the market down. don’t fall for the double speak… or the resulting anger! wolf, thank you for your great work… including facilitating civil discussions… contributors, thank you for the many insightful thoughts, laughs & civility… together we get to the truth, but not until we overcome the double speak & anger that often ensues…. when i was in business school, amar bhide, my accounting professor proffered that debt was good because it instilled discipline. my immediate visceral response was, discipline to whom and for what purpose… decades later and much deeper down the rabbit hole of reality i proffer that excess debt, like the current norm, instills discipline to the point it distorts behavior and degrades ethics. in order to service debts people must do what the system requires to earn capital, even when it goes against common sense, decency or just what is right. i have chosen to live below means so that i could make choices that are less influenced by $$ and more in line with my conscience, beliefs, desires, etc… to me this is part of living free… that being said, i recognize that many do not even have this option. hopefully we will wake up from this so distorted reality before it is too late.. & collectively decide to climb out of the rabbit hole to a reality that is more comfortable for a majority… “hopefully we will wake up from this so distorted reality before it is too late.. & collectively decide to climb out of the rabbit hole to a reality that is more comfortable for a majority…” Those in a position to do anything about it benefit from it, so don’t hold your breath. Why else do you think these economic “experts” weren’t long ago dethroned by being laughed out of the room. So, the Fed might be able to unwind QE without negative consequences. I seriously doubt it, but even if they managed, what can be done about this? https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEBTN I’m not sure that we need to do anything about it. Lots of people carry a mortgage that is 3 times their annual income and get along just fine. That can go even higher at lower interest rates. But if it is me, I’m going sell as much short duration bonds as I can and use the proceeds to pay off longer duration bonds. Then just pay the short duration bonds to maturity. Of course that assumes we’re not planning on any more wars, jacking up the DOD budget, building a 3000 mile long wall, or spend another trillion on infrastructure projects. I think there will be serious consequences. My guess is that they will not happen all at once but that they’ll drag out over time, in many ups and downs. My guess is that it will spread over many years. Just as long as we don’t have deflation where it might hit the bankers and bureaucrats – asset prices and tax revenues – then TPTB can live with it! “Total U.S. indebtedness is about 14 percent above the trough of household deleveraging brought on by the 2007-2009 financial crisis and deep recession, a pull-back that interrupted what had been a 63-year upward trend. Mortgage debt was $8.69 trillion in the second quarter, up $329 billion from last year, the report said. Student loan debt was $1.34 trillion, up $85 billion, while auto loan debt came in at $1.19 trillion, up $55 billion. “ Has it been two 25 bp increases in a decade? The game of musical chairs is the UST issues debt, the Fed creates money and buys the debt, the USA pays interest to the FED (bondholders) and the FED promptly hands back the interest (less expenses) back to the US Treasury… The net interest expense to the USG is almost zip rleative to the debt load. The chance of FED ceasing to buy new UST issuance and selling its holdings is ZACTLY ZERO. When the SHTF it will be austerity and privatization – assets stripping. Look at Grease, they were ready to tell the EU to stuff it, but magically that never happened. I’d like one of these a-holes to address the harm to savers over the past decade. That is the real story… Neither the Fed, the WH nor the mainstream media are motivated to address the fraud taking place…that is, banks cutting back interest on depositer accounts to increase profits, jack up salaries and bonuses, buy back shares and support unrealistic stock and bond valuations. What does the 11% lower Dollar do to imports and exports? The former get more expensive, the latter get cheaper. Now which impact should such a development have on inflation? The U.S. has been running frightful trad deficits for decades. Sit back and wait for Obama-Care prices to keep rising. Until something breaks. Then what? The orchestra kept playing on the Titanic. I have a deep concern about something dreadful happening quite soon. Some “Black Swan” event coming… Silly monks kept debating questions like the “sex of angels” while the Heavens were at the gate. “QE was designed to produce the “wealth effect,” as Bernanke himself explained it to the public, where those with assets get wealthier and then spend some of that wealth in the real economy.” But Bernanke forgot the other side of the coin – those with assets get a lower return and have to reduce spend, and those seeking to grow assets have to save more to achieve a desired level of income. Definition of chutzpah: The Fed, which has lavished $16 trillion in financial crack cocaine on its bankster patrons to cover their gambling debts and reckless speculative binges, piously warns the increasingly pauperized proles that their debt loads are getting out of hand. Having created moral hazard on a gargantuan scale, the Fed now seems belatedly concerned that millions of debt donkeys may not be able to satisfy their financial obligations to her bankster cohorts. Kind of like the schoolyard crack dealer scolding the kiddies who develop an addiction that impedes their ability to buy more crack. credit-hits-new-record-high I’m beginning to think all economics is pure crap. The below link has a chart for the 10 yr treasury vs the Fed Funds Rate. From 7-2004 to 7-2007 the Fed funds went from 1% to over 5% yet the10 year treasury did not budge. Why should it be any different this time? You think a 0.25% will put fear into the markets? flations-anomalies-are-wearing-thin-2017-08-15 Expect the markets to rally for years to come like it’s 1999! Not sure if anyone believes that QE will be unwound. The entire civilized world is near zero percent! Any GDP growth is the result of asset bubbles. Please explain where all this discipline to starve the bankers of easy profits will come from in a Trump administration? – it seems that the US 2 year yield “didn’t get the memo” from the FED either. Because the 2 year yield already started to rise in the 2nd quarter of 2013. And the FED started to raise interest rates only in december 2015, more than 2.5 years before the FED “raised” the FFR. – Or was the FED whispering in the ears of the 2 year T-bond yield. – Agree. But from 2013 onwards the yield curve (30 year vs. 5 year yield) started & continued to flatten every year. In other words: Mr. Market completely ignored/neglected both the “Taper Tantrum” (2013) and the “Tapering” (2014) altogether. – Currently Mr. Market still has to make up its mind. Because this year the yield curve “has gone nowhere”, didn’t steepen or flatten in any meaningful way. -Today the 3-month T-bill rate dropped below 1%. Unless that yield rises above 1% again, I have moved to the position called “FED rate cut coming” and will stay there. More Kabuki theater from the Fed. Bilking savers out of an estimated $500 billion a year in interest income and forcing them to seek yield in Wall Street’s rigged casino, where they can be fleeced at will by the Fed’s accomplices, is far too lucrative a racket for the Fed to ever voluntarily give up. The Fed will not hike until the bond vigilantes force its hand. These supposed FOMC minutes are nothing but smoke and mirrors. e-hikes.html Gershon, why don’t you read the ACTUAL minutes rather than just reading and misinterpreting the headlines of MSM articles. So try this (it’s a little longer than the CNBC headline, but it’s worth a read): https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomcminutes20170726.htm Wolf, I don’t read the minutes because, as I’ve stated, I view these FOMC meetings as pure Kabuki theater where the Fed tries to pretend it’s a responsible central bank instead of a rapacious private banking cartel set up solely to concentrate all wealth and power in the hands of its oligarch patrons. Once I understood this, all of the Fed’s actions became completely predictable. The FOMC minutes to me are more meaningless jawboning and dissembling – Yellen and her flying monkeys will keep doing what they do, which is perpetuating the transfer of wealth and assets from the middle and working classes to a corrupt and venal .1% in the financial sector by rigging the game in the latter’s favor. It’s a Big Club, and I ain’t in it (RIP, George Carlin).

Trying to make people like you see sense, or facts, is like beating your head against a brick wall. Trump the candidate called out Janet Yellen and the Fed for creating a “big fat bubble” with created-out-of-thin-air “stimulus,” but once in office he boasted about the stock market hitting new highs. Taking ownership of this doomed Ponzi scheme was a huge mistake that Trump is going to bitterly regret when the Fed’s financial house of cards, built on make-believe valuations, non-GAAP accounting, and corporate buy-backs with ultra-cheap credit, comes crashing down – as it’s going to on his watch. Trump doesn’t realize it, but he is now the perfect patsy for taking the fall for the Fed’s grotesque monetary malpractice since 2008. “Trump doesn’t realize it, but he is now the perfect patsy for taking the fall for the Fed’s grotesque monetary malpractice since 2008.” I have been saying that since before he got the nomination. 08 happened under Baby BUSH. Big ears only got the blame, as he made such a hash of the recovery attempts. How is it that “the best and the brightest” people in the room have finally figured out the truth about the disaster they were trying to inflict upon us peons? The members of the Fed constantly whine about deflation. Let me describe another type of deflation for them: The deflating value of the dollar. They yap about deflation being bad for the economy, because it causes too much saving and too little spending. Or something equally stupid as that. However, the same Fed issues more and more currency units into the economy, causing the value of each outstanding unit to shrink, thus deflating the value of our savings. (I know this is not the economically-correct definition of deflation, but bear with me here.) Their argument is along the lines of “production will decline, because no one’s buying anything.” Yet they add more currency units, causing the value of each to shrink, and that’s a good thing? The problem: They’ve been looking through the same windshield for too long, and there’s too much bug spray on that windshield.

But William Dudley, president of the New York Fed and one of the most influential voices on the policy-setting Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC), just dropped a stunning bombshell about low inflation – why it might be low and how that “actually might be a good thing.” The kickoff for unwinding QE appears to be in the can. There’s unanimous support for it on the FOMC. It appears to be scheduled for the September meeting. The market has digested the coming “balance sheet normalization.” Stocks have risen and long-term yields have fallen, and financial conditions have eased further, which is the opposite of what the Fed wants to accomplish; it wants to tighten financial conditions. So it will keep tightening its policy until financial conditions are tightening. QE was designed to produce the “wealth effect,” as Bernanke himself explained it to the public, where those with assets get wealthier and then spend some of that wealth in the real economy. Part one worked. Part two didn’t. Now the experiment is over and will be partially unwound. Asset holders are requested to hang on – that’s the message. In his interview with the Associated Press (transcript), Dudley confirmed this. As the Fed allows its portfolio to “run down,” he said – dropping about $2 trillion of securities over the next few years – “the private sector has to absorb somewhat larger amounts of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities, that will probably put some modest upward pressure on long-term yields.” So bond prices, which move in the opposite direction of yields, are going to decline. But no biggie; bond holders had it so good for so long. He expects the economy to keep muddling through with growth at “around 2%.” He said, “We’re still on the same trajectory we’ve been on for several years.” This growth is “sufficient to continue to tighten the labor market.” While inflation is “somewhat below our objective,” he expects “to see firmer wage gains, and that will ultimately filter into inflation moving up towards our 2% objective,” but “it’s going to take time.” However, that below-objective inflation may not stop the rate hikes: “Now the reason why I think you’d want to continue to gradually remove monetary policy accommodation, even with inflation somewhat below target, is that: “One, monetary policy is still accommodative, so the level of short-term rates is pretty low, and “Two — and this is probably even more important — financial conditions have been easing rather than tightening. So despite the fact that we’ve raised short-term interest rates, financial conditions are easier today than they were a year ago. “The stock market is up, credit spreads have narrowed, the dollar has weakened, and those have more than offset the effects of somewhat higher short-term rates and the very modest increases that we’ve seen in longer-term yields.” If the economic forecast evolves “in line” with his expectations, he said, he “would be in favor of doing another rate hike later this year.” In other words, the market’s reaction to the Fed’s action – that stocks and bonds have risen and that spreads have narrowed since the Fed has started tightening, which is the opposite of what the Fed wants to accomplish – is a primary reason for further tightening. Low inflation, no problem. That rate hike “later this year” would be at the December meeting, after kicking off the QE unwind at the September meeting. In this cycle, the Fed has only made policy changes at meetings that were followed by a press conference. The September and December meetings are the only such meetings left this year. The Fed is sticking to its plan. Then he was challenged on inflation, which has been below the 2% target for a long time. What should the Fed do? “So, I think the jury’s out of whether there is sort of structural, secular changes in place that are holding inflation lower on a sustained basis,” he said. And these changes have to do with the internet economy where price comparisons are instantly possible and the environment has become very price competitive: “The distribution methods of how goods and services are provided have changed pretty dramatically. So this — and I think that’s probably eroding pricing power and brand loyalty. It’s possible that that could be putting downward pressure on inflation. “But if that’s the case, that’s not really a bad thing. That means we can actually allow the economy to operate at a higher level potentially of resource utilization. “So, I think the jury is out, whether this lags or is just going to take some time for it to show through, or whether we’re in a different regime.” He mentioned “the big decline” in cellphone services prices which the suddenly hawkish Yellen had listed in June as a cause for the recent softening of inflation, but there could be  “something more fundamental going on” too – such as the internet economy that forces companies into more open price competition. “So, if there are these secular forces that are pushing inflation lower, perhaps we can actually go to a somewhat lower unemployment rate. I would actually view – rather than people wringing their hands that this is so awful that inflation is low, it actually might be a good thing because it could allow you to run the economy at a little bit higher level of resource utilization, which I think would be good. “People get employed, they get job skills, they’d be able to build their human capital over time. The productive capacity of the U.S. economy would be greater. All those things would be good things.” Yes, the benefits of low inflation. Dudley finally discovered them. When Dudley, one of the most influential members of the FOMC, begins airing something like this in public, it likely means that discussions at the FOMC are tilting this way, that there might suddenly be a recognition that technological improvements and efficiencies should lead to lower prices in some areas, though not all areas, and that an overall inflation rate that’s lower than 2% would be a “good thing,” for all the reasons Dudley specified, plus some. Yellen has also pointed at the sharp drop in prescription drug prices as a cause of low inflation. This too is a “good thing,” as Dudley might say. But it caused a bloodbath among pharmaceutical companies after the government cracked down on price fixing efforts.

The Fed is run by morons who I wouldn’t let graduate 5th grade Math. Cell phone service falling from say $100 to $50 okay; while rents go up from $ 1500 to $2500 or food has a 30% increase – and there is no f@#$ing inflation ! Either the Feds are completely moronic or they are deliberately misleading the public. In either case the mainstream media would run away with the narrative that inflation is low. However no one feels that way in the real world. Is there a Democratic or academic process to challenge the fence numbers from Real World data. I understand that the FED bases its inflation numbers on CPI which is based on a basket of items handpicked by them but how do we create an alternate CPI that reflects reality? The Fed is a tool of the Establishment. This is not a bad thing, necessarily. The problem occurs if the Establishment is controlled by people with agendas that are contrary to the 99%. Until recently, the Globalists (called Robber Barons in the 19th century) were in ascendance. They wanted low rates, low wages, and flexible labor sources. In the US, monetized debt was the icing on the cake. The Fed supported them and promoted goofy theories that said low rates and monetized debt was good. Other central banks use low rates and monetized debt to support different Establishment agendas. The ECB uses it to keep the Eurozone in existence. The Japanese do it out of habit and fear of change. The Swiss do it to manipulate equity prices for profit. The Chinese do it to retain social order. Also, negative rates are an alternative form of taxation for socialist economies. Had the 2016 election gone the other way, there would be little Fed policy difference today as compared to 2016. The Fed apparently sees a structural change that needs to be accommodated, or so they appear to state. Me, being doubtful and cynical, will wait and see if Dudley follows through and normalized much of anything. I hope the Fed does because low rate cause more problems than they cure. Money should go on sale, temporarily, just like retail goods go on sale when a boost in demand is needed. A 10 year sale on money where only a few reap the benefits is conspiracy and collusion. People need to earn interest income once again. This will boost the economy more than any monetary experiment could have ever achieved. Agree people need to earn interest income again – Bernanke forgot the other side of the “wealth effect” coin – those with assets get a lower return and have to reduce spend, and those seeking to grow assets have to save more to achieve a desired level of income. The FED Knows there is Inflation, it only has to glance at the Housing Bubble and rents to know that, but not in its own carefully crafted basket. So it knows it can quite happily continue to raise rates while at the same time putting forward a bogus case of why low inflation is not a problem. That being said, if Hillary had won the election the spiel from them would be very different, this is essentially about strangling Donald Trump Fiscally . And doesn’t sweet little grandma Yellen sometimes put you in mind of those dear little auntie’s portrayed in “Arsenic and Old Lace”? You just want to jump up out of your seat and call out ” Don’t drink that Donald ” ! http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts Hear, hear! People who buy groceries (and mind shrinking sizes), need medical insurance and pay kindergarten or university fees… or rent… will appreciate this article: stics/ The FED has been doing a wonderful although self-serving job: screwing the public, aiding the 0.01%. They shaft savers with silly rates and want “official 2.0% inflation”. Yeah, helping the debt makers, screwing the taxpayers. But what do you expect from a private banking cartell?!? I think that they are misleading the public. Notice that the banks (which truly control the allegedly ‘Federal’ reserve because it’s leaders are selected from their cronies due to contributions to politicians) have profited enormously from the Fed’s actions: with QE they got huge commissions from transactions of the Fed to buy treasuries with tax payers’ money and low interest loans from the Fed (since 2008) that they could then lend out at huge increases in interest rates to customers. Now, with interest rate increases induced by the QE unwinding, stock prices will come down sharply as investors go from company stocks earnings low sums in EPS for their price to perceieved riskless treasuries with yields that will be higher. Why invest in risky stocksif they will then pay less than “riskless” treasuries? After stock prices plunge, the banksters controlling banks can then buy the stocks whose prices plunged at pennies on the dollar. The Fed is doing stuff that used to be done to manipulate stock prices before the SEC was formed. Fire the 1000+ PHD researchers at the Fed. and replace them with 5th grade math teachers ? Sounds sensible to me ! When I listen to him talking, for some reason all I hear is “buy silver, and bitcoin, some liecoin, and a few alt coins” I’m still sceptical of Bitcoin If the powers that be wanted to control this alternate to the dollar who on earth is naive enough to believe they couldn’t and wouldn’t I’m thinking those who buy into the hype late will get hurt badly when they pull the plug The $64,000 ? When is “late” ? In my reading on this and other crypto- currencies Bitcoin ATM’s are mentioned. Who would be swinging for those do you suppose? Why would the inventor of Bitcoin be such a secret? We all know that Al Gore invented the Internet don’t we ? Hmmm…. Bitcoin and tulips. They aren’t spelled the same yet they’re almost identical. All we need are bitcoin default swaps and bitcoin margin with collateral using real assets for some fantastic financial fun. No one talks about the inherent problems with blockchain algos. While secure transfer of assets without a central authority is great in theory (e.g. Bitcoin), today’s implementations are not scale-able at all. There are only a few thousand Bitcoin transactions per day today vs. millions of legacy payment transactions. But each Bitcoin transaction already takes the equivalent of four average household’s daily power consumption in the verification network, i.e. consumed by the miners that verify the blockchain. There are some scalability proposals on the table but no silver bullets. I never thought of that side of the equation … limits to growth, aka decreasing economies of scale. Wicked vulnerability. This makes bitcoin even more of a joke. Suckerbait. “But each Bitcoin transaction already takes the equivalent of four average household’s daily power consumption in the verification network, i.e. consumed by the miners that verify the blockchain.” You still have the chain, and the “fraud coin”, linked. Take the “fraud coin” out of the system, and the chain, is fine. The chain, as a transaction method it is in use in PHYSICAL international commodity settlement transactions. Fast efficient and stable. the fact that it is irreversable appeals to the seller’s and shippers. The buyer just has to be happy BEFORE he put’s in, as you cant get it back. Just like Western union, but way safer. As the NSA cant have somebody waiting with a guided missile at the pickup point when you go to collect. YET. Which is probably why its usage is being limited, currently. Go on, trade Bitcoin as a CFD with 1:500 leverage :–) Stay tuned cdr, they have already begun testing in China with tea ! There is a great deal of propaganda and distorted information spread by the money master’s. The Fed policy is attempting to force price inflation, when there is no wage inflation! Fiscal and monetary stimulus policies that were supposed to be temporary, are now permanent. Tightening? I don’t think so. The majority of the population is experiencing wage deflation, with attendant shrinking demand. Stagflation is the result. The culprit? Money supply and a higher debt rate. The bottom 90% struggle with stagnating incomes and that is a structural reality going back four decades. This is the first “recovery” that has been worse than the recession! We are in the ninth inning and the bases are about to be loaded, with Casey warming up in the batters cage! “The Fed policy is attempting to force price inflation, when there is no wage inflation!” 1) Excessive demand over supply 2) Currency debasement One is a function of supply and demand. The other is abnormal. Unfortunately, a rising price is a rising price so, to the ignorant and/or stupid, they both look the same. Normal economies that function well use #1. #2 is in theory easy to do but in practice hard to accomplish. Currency is backed by the wealth and productivity of a nation. It also needs to circulate. It also need to be used on things over and beyond a normal lifestyle to be inflationary. Thus, too much currency will have little effect on the prices of a country that is wealthy and needs little. Nor will it have much effect on prices if it does not circulate well. US QE created massive money printing but policies basically buried most of it in the back yard or gave it to the 1%. This also means in 100 years some new goofball Fed will notice this and run a new monetary experiment where they flood the US with cash and force people to use it. (I’m personally expecting this to happen via the ECB in a couple of years.) I said “It also need to be used on things over and beyond a normal lifestyle to be inflationary.” Oops. Once the economy has been ruined, it’s just paper. Forgot to mention that. What will the Dollar’s 11% fall vs the Euro mean for inflation? Importers won’t keep sacrificing their margins ad infinituzm. Look at the UK and inflation over there! if prices rise, people shop elsewhere. A strong currency makes imports cheap and exports expensive to other countries. If the UK currency falls, it’s exports will rise. Changes in currency valuations are a self-balancing problem. No biggie except to the hysterical who scream when anything changes – or currency traders who took the wrong side – or people who don’t understand fundamental international trade theory. Excessive imports / exports are also self balancing. All the Chinese with lots of dollars now must hold US debt or make US investments to spend said dollars. All that remains is the hysterical screaming that the Chinese own too many US assets (which they probably paid too much for but don’t care because the average Mandarin needs to launder cash out of China) Very well said cdr. I will keep these points in mind. Thank you! In the 70’s and 80’s Americans could still outrun inflation because they still had savings and access to another job to make up the expenses. Now inflation has outrun labor, the race is over. Almost one million people dropped cable tv last quarter. Retail is dead. There is no extra job out there. The only thing going up is crime. No disagreement with anything you wrote. My personal belief is that once rates normalize and regular people can earn a decent amount of interest income again, these problems will slowly reverse. People save and spend interest income. Stock gains just sit there enriching the advisor with management fee income. I plan to spend my interest income once I get some. Now, I’m hunkering down and so are lots of others, I believe. Also, hence my belief the Fed has served the 1% while paying lip service to me and my group. My ‘theory’ about interest income is stupid simple common sense. No econometrics required. Your theory is relying on the assumption that the credit quality of your bonds is good and will remain that way. There is no good reason to assume that. In a deflationary period the bonds usually default due to a lack of money or decline in price. During the depression of the 30’s, first the stock market went down, then the bonds went down 30-40%. The bond crash was what really killed the economy. Petunia, if bond prices fall due to liquidity problems, then good for me. Low prices = high rates. This is why I’m waiting to buy. Capital loss risk is likely otherwise. There’s no way in the world the market would “absorb” 2 trillion. The very idea is laughable. This either will not come to pass due to an “unforseen shock” or the FED will do what it always does…Lie. Yes, say they’re doing something, like selling, when in reality they’re buying it through back channels like dealers. Don’t trust a word the FED says, their data is one big ball of manipulated, massaged and fake propaganda. Anyone in the industry with half a brain would know this is ridiculous. Who would be buying when they know the value can only go down? And 2 trillion? I don’t believe the expectation is to sell 2 trillion worth of treasuries to the market. I believe the intention would be to stop buying new treasuries as old short-term securities held by the Fed reach maturity. That really just means 2 trillion less dollars sitting in excess reserves at banks. We have double-entry bookkeeping in the US (and globally). Every transactions has two entries, a credit and a debit. When the Fed creates a credit, it also creates a debit of the same size in its books. When it removes a credit, it also removes a debit of the same size. So yes, during QE, the excess reserves have been the other entry when the Fed created the money and credited its primary dealers’ accounts with it. So when the Fed unwinds QE, it will destroy the money it created and at the same time lower its excess reserves by the same amount. This time, it will be a debit and a credit. Here’s is an explanation of how accounting works at the Fed: the-feds-balance-sheet-accounting.html I have posted this before, but it’s important, so I post it again. How the Fed will reduce the size of its balance sheet by letting securities “roll off”: When securities are redeemed at maturity, whoever holds them gets the money. The securities become void and disappear. This is what the Fed will be doing: When the Treasuries it holds mature, the US Treasury Department redeems them, that is it exchanges money for those securities that then become void and disappear. The Fed gets the money. If it doesn’t buy anything else with it, that money disappears too. Now both the Treasuries and the money have disappeared. Since the Treasury Dept doesn’t have the money to pay off maturing bonds (the US government runs a big deficit), it raises this money in advance by selling bonds. So the market gives the Treasury Department the money to redeem the old bonds. By redeeming the bonds that the Fed holds, the Treasury Dept gives this money to the Fed. At the Fed, this money disappears. In this manner, the Fed drains liquidity (money) from the market. This is the reverse of what happened during QE. You forgot about the velocity of money. When new money sits in interest bearing reserves and is not lent, the velocity of money falls and so does inflation. Slow velocity ==> low lending ==> low job creation ==> low spending ===> low inflation. The printed money used to finance mortgage backed securities probably was spend directly in the economy. This may be what fueled equities. As I wrote above to Petunia, I believe raising interest rates will increasing spending. This will increase velocity which will counteract the reduction to the cash in circulation. The 1% will scream about it though. I’ll certainly spend my share once I can get a decent yield from a bond fund without major risk of capital loss (falling share price) when rates rise. I agree that when yields (and bank interest rates rise), all kinds of good things could be happening in the real economy. Since the Treasury Dept doesn’t have the money to pay off maturing bonds (the US government runs a big deficit), it raises this money in advance by selling bonds. So the market gives the Treasury Department the money to redeem the old bonds. Its the same old check kiting scheme with the Fed and Treasury switching roles. There is no way the GOP/POTUS/Congress is going to go into more debt to pay for the stock market rally that occurred during Obama’s term. You saw what happened to ACHA. War is more likely here than in Korea. Those of you who say End the Fed, get your popcorn. For the 2017 fiscal year, the US will run a $0.503 Trillion deficit on a $4.147 Trillion budget. But here’s where an interest rate rise gets to be tricky: Current US GDP = about $19T. Current nation debt = about $20T. The CBO forecasts that the US nation debt will be about $30T at the end of fiscal year 2026, and GDP growing at 2% per year would be around $23T at that time. As of yesterday’s close, the 1 year Treasury yield was 1.23%. 2 year was 1.33% and 5 year was 1.77%. This averages close to 1.44%, and this is, I believe, about the interest paid to carry the nations debt. Twenty trillion at 1.44

Why Apocalypse Now, Part 2 July 28, 2017 by John Little - OmegaShock.com | 63 Comments I was not intending to write a Part II, when I wrote last weeks article. But, a few things popped up that demonstrated a need to continue down this line of thought. This really is a perfect storm. There are so many threats that have moved into view, that I am surprised that we do not see some real hysteria over it all. Of course, the problem is our dumbed-down population and the evil cooperation by the morons in the mainstream press. Add in the Universities and their attempts at social engineering, and you truly have a recipe for disaster. So, lets look at some of the other pieces in our Apocalypse Puzzle. Subscribe to The Shock Letter and receive my articles in your inbox: http://theshockletter.com/ Or, get the Shock Letter via RSS Feed: http://www.omegashock.com/feed/ (If you need help with that, let me know JL) Why Apocalypse Now, Part 2 It is ironic that I would mention a perfect storm, since we have Severe Tropical Storm Nesat inbound. It wanted to be a Typhoon, but it just could get enough energy to make it happen. Maybe next time. But, lets look a bigger storm thats brewing. The Perfect Storm When the book hit the shelves in 1997, followed by the movie in 2000, The Perfect Storm grabbed and held peoples attention. Both the book and the movie were about a set of conditions that were perfect for the creation of something that would later be called, the 1991 Perfect Storm. From that moment on, any time we saw a series of events coming together perfectly to create a truly massive catastrophe we called it, A Perfect Storm. And, we have one of those brewing on the horizon. And, you will probably experience horrifying tragedy, if you do not prepare for this storm. The Apocalypse Puzzle Having said that, I called this Perfect Storm a puzzle an Apocalypse Puzzle. And, I laid out four pieces to that puzzle: PIECE #1: Energy PIECE #2: Cycles Of Empire And War PIECE #3: Grand Solar Minimum PIECE #4: Self Delusion Then Joel the Filipino left a comment, reminding me that there were OTHER pieces to this puzzle, notably Israel. You are absolutely right, Joel. Thank you for that reminder. I often get so caught up in one area, that I forget that theres a lot more to the picture. PIECE #5: Israel This is, by far, the most important piece, because it is Biblical. God has spoken of His promises to the Children of Jacob. He promised that He would return them to Himself. He promised that He would bring the children of Jacob back to the Land of Israel, and then cleanse them. And yes, you need to understand the order of events: 1 The Return 2 The Cleansing If you do not get that, then you have not been reading your Bible. Ezekiel 36 and 37 are very clear about this. Why this is so hard for people to understand, I really dont know. Its as if Christians have lost their minds. Now, if you need a clearer picture, let me point you to a website that I created a few years ago: http://www.ezekiel36-39.com/ That website focuses directly on the passages in scripture that describe Israels salvation. And, those passages are numerous. If you need a shorter, more concise discussion, go here: within-a-couple-of-decades/ But, when you are concise, you need to leave out a LOT of important detail. So, dont stick with just the concise version. Go for the whole thing. And, THAT means reading your Bible. Please also remember that it was God who established Zion. And yes, that means that God is a Zionist. I demonstrated that, here: http://www.omegashock.com/2017/06/09/god-is-a-zionist/ Im sorry that I didnt write that article sooner. The cries of outrage by anti-Semites were music to my ears. Why they should scream so loudly is a mystery to me. God is very clear about His views of that tiny patch of land. Please remember that Satan wants to supplant God as owner of Jerusalem. In fact, he wants to kick out God from the minds of everyone on Earth, and claim victory. And, Satan has his foul focus on a piece of land the size of the Island that Im currently writing from: Taiwan. Thats right. The Land of Israel is almost exactly the same size as this little island off the coast of China. The only real difference is the language, the amount of rainfall, the culture, the food, the religion and a few other things. Other than that, Israel and Taiwan are identical. (ahem!) Sorry, I couldnt help myself although, it is true that there really are quite a few similarities between them. Ive had more than one Israeli remark on this. PIECE #6: Anti-Semitism Satan has ALWAYS been an anti-Semite. Always. If you need a demonstration, just look at history. The only people that were more hated than the Jews, were the Christians. And no, I do not include the Catholics. The Roman Catholic Church murdered tens of millions of Christians throughout the Middle Ages and afterwards. Satan rules the RCC, and the RCC has hated the Jews with a passion. The same goes for the Orthodox Church. The OC has ALSO hated the Jews and Christians. And, lets not forget the Muslims. Muslim hatred of the Jewish people is incandescent. There is constant talk by Muslim scholars of the need to kill all the Jews. But, everyone knows about Muslim hatred of the Jews. But, why the rise in hatred of the Jews among christians? Ive been fighting against Christian Anti-Semitism for decades. I started in the mid-1990s, and have never stopped. And, I will never stop until the last christian anti-Semite chokes on his own evil words. How is it possible to be so anti-Semitic, while claiming to follow Christ? I am truly amazed by this, yet christian anti-Semitism is growing by leaps and bounds. It is reaching into churches everywhere, and it manifests itself most strongly among those who claim that the Rapture happens after the Tribulation. Thats why I wrote this chapter in Ezekiels Fire: http://www.ezekielsfire.com/section-one/twisting-the-bible/ Yes, I strongly disagree with the Pre-Trib position, but pretribbers are FAR better than the vast majority of post-tribbers. It would be far, far better for you to embrace a belief in a pre-trib rapture, than to rebel against God by rejecting His work in the Land of Israel. If you have hatred in your heart towards Israel, then you are serving Satan and not God. Satans sin was his rebellion against God, and you commit the same sin when you reject Gods promises for Israel. I dont expect you to love Israel as much as I do. We each have our burdens from God. But, if you dare to speak against the work of God, in the land where He placed His name well, I can only speculate on your place in eternity. Here, let me repeat a verse that I talk about often: For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 1 Samuel 15:23 V PIECE #7: Demographics We are now in the midst of a gigantic shift in population. North America and Europe have declining populations as do Russia, China and Japan. In fact, the developed world is plagued by a shrinking population. The consequences of this situation will be nothing short of catastrophic. You will see some articles in the research section that deal with this, and this problem has been clear to everyone for a very long time. Unfortunately, they chose badly in how they decided to fix this. And yes, the flood of migrant barbarians into Europe was a part of this attempt to fix a declining population base. Its just more proof that you just cant fix stupid. (facepalm!) PIECE #8: The Rise Of Electronic Currency I remember the hubbub over the UPC labels that came out in the 70s. Everyone thought that they were The Mark Of The Beast. But, the hubbub died down, until a new-and-improved hubbub arose over implanted chips. We still have this hubbub, but Im afraid that its a tempest in a teacup. I believe that the true Mark of the Beast will be what it says: an mark. Its what the Bible says, and it makes more sense than a hackable implant. A mark is hard to hack, and those without The Mark will be unable to hide that fact. Why is this under the heading of Electronic Currency? Because you will probably need that mark to do electronic transactions. That mark might be your password, your cryptographic key or the ID that the system uses to track your electronic transactions. Whatever the case, this is really the first time that weve had a truly viable competitor to paper currency. Bitcoin has taken the world by storm, and the banksters are piling in. And, when you see the bankers pile in on ANYTHING, you know that there will be trouble ahead. PIECE #9: The Science Of Deception Last week, I talked about delusion. The Bible has spoken of it as being a part of the Last Days. God promised that He would send Strong Delusion to those who do not love the truth. (2 Thessalonians 2:10-13) And, our society often speaks of The Art of Deception. Well, there are major players out there that have perfect this art so well, that it would be more properly called a science. I ran into this, when doing research on MKULTRA. It was only one of the many mind control programs that the CIA was engaged in, and I believe that we see the CIAs footprints all over the massive deception campaigns that flash across our television and computer screens. Its really the only way that I can explain the utter insanity of what we are seeing today. And, journalists have come forward to speak of the influence of the CIA on their work. But, the CIA isnt the only culprit. I have an MBA and quite a bit of sales training. And, it took a while for me to realize that sales and marketing are just different words for manipulation. And, it has been perfected by big business for decades, to the point where the average person is quite vulnerable to the call of the shiny trinket. Our civilization has perfected deception upon a willing audience, and Im certain that the Antichrist and his minions will use those tools to great effect. A Unique Moment In Time We really live in a unique moment in time. Our forebears in faith have always wondered how The Last Days would look. Well, we know. The pieces are falling into place, and the picture of a perfect storm should be obvious for all to see if they are willing to see it. Note: Next weeks post will be late. Our church is holding a Vacation Bible School for the kids in our area, and Im the Bible teacher. Hopefully, next weeks article will come out on Saturday assuming that I survive!

Repentance, Salvation and The New Bible Versions: (Yes, it Really does matter!) Lets Get It Right! When I read this, I was shocked. Now, I understand why I get so much pushback from Christians, when I talk about the judgment of God. How utterly corrupt. How dare they do this to the Bible! HOW DARE THEY! There is a special place in Hell for the translators who took away the precious words of God from the Bible. Many already burn in Hell, and it is their truly just reward. I am sickened by this, and this is not new information for me. It has just been a while since I looked at this. If you have the NIV, or any other corrupted Bible, throw it away.

UN Document From 2000 Exposes Global Migration Replacement Solution To Developed World Demographics | Zero Hedge We knew that there was a reason for this massive wave of migrants from Africa and the Middle East. And, we were hearing people say things like, Theyll help us retirement programs going, and Theyll help build our economy. Where did that come from? Probably a lot of places, one document from the UN explained what they are doing NOW. That UN document appears to be a roadmap for what is happening now. The interesting thing is that the UN is right on the need for more, younger people to be added to the European population. They got the problem correctly defined. But, they got the solution so badly wrong, that you would laugh if the circumstances werent so terrible. The biggest reason why the hordes of Muslims and Africans cannot succeed is that they arent European and they dont WANT to be European. They want Europe to be like Africa and the Middle East, but with all the money that Europe has. Have you noticed what Africa and the Middle East look like? Corrupt, violent and insane all of which, causes poverty. Extreme poverty. Why were these UN morons so stupid? The answer is that they went to university and then worked for government. Ive done both, and suffered terrible brain damage, as a result. So, its no mystery to me, why the UN did this. Bureaucratic stupidity is truly awe inspiring. I will never forget that first experience, and the shocked look on my face must have been pretty obvious since several people told me what I looked like. Never, EVER, underestimate the power of stupidity. However, theres another factor, and thats the part played by Soros and others like him, who seek the destruction of Europe. They got embedded into this project, and their success will destroy the world. Its the End of the World, and Matthew 24:7 was ALWAYS going to be a part of that.

My question, is WHY ARENT THEY GIVING GEORGE MORE CREDIT??? Day 277.1 Summary For Hillarys Leakers Hackers and Henchmen YouTube Here is an excellent summary of what has been happening so far. And, its REALLY ugly. Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz have teamed up with Pakistani Intelligence ISI to create a spy ring for their own profit, while sharing Americas most vital and sensitive secrets. This is Above Top Secret stuff. Will they do anything about it? They might, if George lives long enough to make it happen.

Steve King: Imran Awan Had Access to All the Communication of the Foreign Affairs Committee Breitbart The bad news about Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Hillary keeps rolling in. Its too late to cover it all up, but theyre trying. But, three words have escaped into the public sphere: The Awan Brothers With those three words, the Democrats are in serious trouble. Their leadership ran a Pakistani spy ring deep in the heart of Congress, where Americas deepest and most important secrets were shared. This is pure treason, and I want to see quick trials and an over-worked firing squad. Cable Networks Black Out Coverage on Wasserman Schultz IT Scandal Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along If The New York Times, CNN and MSNBC arent reporting on this, its not important. If the Democrats think that its okay, its not important. If John McCain hasnt said anything, then its not important. Also, the world is flat. Up is Down. Good is bad. Black is white. These arent the droids you are looking for.

Everything is beautiful, except with you look behind the inch thick stage props and realize that you can only defy gravity for so long. Eventually, the truth comes out. But, the moron media havent quite figured this out. Wasserman Shultzs IT Staffer Imran Awans Wife Flees to Pakistan Makes Off with $295,000 (Video) And, the Awan brothers made off with lots and lots of cash.

COMPLETE MEDIA BLACKOUT on Wasserman Schultz IT Scandal This is a nice if you can call ANYTHING about this as nice summary of current details of this Pakistani spy ring in Congress, run by Diabolical Debbie, along with the media blackout on the issue.

Debbie Wasserman Schultzs Pakistani IT guy arrested at airport Washington Times Now, theyre calling the arrest of Imran Awan ISLAMOPHOBIA?

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Absolute Wreck Barely Able to Function Since Imran Awan Arrest Good. She knows that what she did was treason. Pure. Treason. She needs a trial and swift execution. And, I am sickened that Jeff Sessions, the Attorney General, has done so little about this. He knew about this for a long time, and sat on it. Its time to start looking a little more carefully into Mr. Sessions. Something smells fishy. Steven Wasserman, Brother of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Overseeing Awan Imran Case? This is so sick, that it makes me want to scream. Debbie committed treason. Who was hired to investigate her treason? Her brother. Do you honestly think that there will be justice here? Me neither. Man Behind Trump Dossier Subpoenaed After Refusing To Testify, Will Plead The Fifth | Zero Hedge The Democrat tangle of lies is slowly being unwound.

Jesses Caf Amricain: History Repeats: The Continuing Threat to Freedom and Democracy One of the greatest heroes in American history is someone that most Americans have never heard of: Major General Smedley Butler. His ethics and patriotism caused him to neutralize a threat to America that would have destroyed the US. But, the US government did very little to neutralize the foul men who tried to do this. The Wall Street Fascists who tried to take over America, turned and sent their support to a little-known moron called Adolf Hitler. If FDR had put those vile and disgusting men in jail, there might not have been a World War II. Unfortunately, we are recreating the conditions of that benighted era. And, we are fresh out of men like General Butler. oftwominds-Charles Hugh Smith: When We Can No Longer Tell the Truth We could call this piece, The Empire Of Lies, because that is what our modern civilization has become. Europe, North and South America and the rest of the world they have become a vast empire of lies. There are countries that seek to escape the lying liars of our age, but they are entangled by their connections with the liars, and their own corruption. China and Russia have been able to keep themselves outside of this foul web of foolishness, but they are also unbelievably corrupt, violent and repressive. Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic are trying to stay free, but with limited success. What about Australia and New Zealand? Weve heard little from them, but the rot is eating away there, too. Will the Empire of Lies fall with the coming of Ezekiels Fire? I believe so, but it will rise again stronger than ever and take over the world, with the Antichrist at its head.

First of all, as we run into trouble with fossil fuels, a lot of lights will be turned out. Most of the lights are powered by coal, and the quality of our coal has been in sharp decline. But, that wasnt my initial thought. My initial thought was about Ezekiels Fire. The largest die-off will be in those areas that cannot survive without electricity, or do not know how to survive without electricity. How many of those areas will suffer massive die-off? Will you be one of those casualties? ARTICLES OF NOTE These articles have a more individual importance. They cross categories, and are often in their own category.

God and metal: scenes from a hardcore Christian music festival | World news | The Guardian Sorry, but this is straight up abomination. Christian? No, it drags the name of Christ through the mud. And, that is the essence of blasphemy. Teens filmed, mocked drowning man, Cocoa police say Again, this is ANOTHER example of what Jesus said that the Last Days would be like: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Matthew 24:12 Because America has become a sin-ridden place where evil is celebrated, this is what happens. These foul teenagers laughed as a poor, disabled man drowned to death. He cried out for help, but they just mocked him. And, when he died they laughed again, and sauntered off. I always wish for repentance for anyone this evil. But, if they arent going to repent, then I wish that they meet an untimely and swift death soon.

Yes, There Is a Government Troll Training Program YouTube The United States government has spent a GIGANTIC amount of money on trying to figure out ways to manipulate your mind. And, this is a brief discussion of that program that has been in operation for more than 70 years. They have refined their techniques, and they are VERY good at making you think one thing, when the truth is another. The Art of Deception: Training for a New Generation of Online Covert Operations The Intercept This is the slide show that the video talked about. This mental manipulation is pointed at you. The question is whether you will fall for it. And yes, I believe that this Flat Earth nonsense is a part of their work. Consider it a fun research project, that probably goes like this: How many people can we fool into believing that the Earth is flat? So far, they are horrifyingly successful. And, I would prefer that they either go to jail, or be put in front of a firing squad. Disneys Next Movie Could Be Watching You, Too Okay, so this is a smart move by Disney to make sure that you are enjoying their movies. The same goes for the food industry and any other industry.

But, the dark side of this is what should scare all of you, since this is the path to testing how effective their techniques for manipulation are. This is how they will refine them to the point where it will become a science. Deception is about to become a science if it isnt already. Brazilians funneled as slaves by US church, ex-members say | Charlotte Observer This is what happens when a church is founded by wolves. A sheep will never beat you, but a wolf will. A sheep will never use coercion, but a wolf will. A sheep will never enslave you, but a wolf will. Ive seen a lot of churches run by wolves, and our church here in Taipei had a wolf for a pastor, for a short time. My wife and I along with a couple others stood up to him and called him out on what he was doing, so he ran away. A wolf will destroy your church, whether in the congregation or in the pulpit.

VisualPolitik EN YouTube An interesting video that tries to describe Taiwans situation in just 13 minutes and ten seconds. THAT is NOT enough time to do the subject justice. Nor is my short comment, here. The problem that Taiwan has, is that it didnt declare independance from China, when it could have any time during the 1970s and before. And, it did not create a uniquely different cultural identity, when it should have. There are reasons for that, but theyre all stupid. I knew within two weeks of coming here, that Taiwan was finished. They have no chance of keeping themselves separate from China. The best that they can do is maintain their half-hearted attempts to remain separate. Every time the Taiwanese government screws up and allows corrupt politicians to have their way, Taiwan takes a step closer to China. If things go too far here, the average Taiwanese citizen will look at their government with such contempt, that theyll believe that Beijing wont be any worse than what they already have. The Taiwanese government needs to stop being so stupid. This is a great island, full of wonderful people. But, its run by morons. India-China on the verge of military conflict YouTube Some interesting insight on the conflict between India and China. This video is a bit anti-India since it does not describe Chinas invasion of India, with Chinese troops, every year. This is a constant provocation by China, and India must be getting a bit sick of it. Those who claim that China isnt expansionist, are idiots who do not know Chinas relationship with her neighbors. Just ask Russia and India about whether China is a good neighbor. Hegemony is a Three-Player Game The Daily Reckoning This is the third article from Jim Rickards that Im posting a link to.

Yes, I believe that this crisis is coming, in fact just around the corner.

Hes also smart, which means that he will probably succeed at least, some of the time. But, he isnt going to save America. He isnt going to chart a new course.

Here is one case where the organized rape of little children DID NOT happen. ISAIAH 19 This category has expanded significantly. Its as if the flood gates on this issue have opened. Its an indication of the seriousness of the situation. And, its very serious, indeed. Ethiopia is an extremely corrupt government and has made worthless promises that they will carefully fill the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. I believe that they will fill that dam as fast as possible, drying up the Nile, just as chapter 19 of Isaiah said that they would. It is said that they will begin filling the dam, next year. This is going to be traumatic for Egypt just as Isaiah said. Water pictured around Renaissance Dam alarms Egyptians Um is it FINALLY beginning to fill? The Ethiopian government says no, but you cant trust them to tell the truth about ANYTHING. The GERD was supposed to begin filling two years ago. And, and it should be filling now.

I do NOT want ANYONE who is evil to suffer an eternity in Hell. But, if they refuse to repent, I want them destroyed. May the wrath of God be upon all who refuse to repent. May the blessings of God be upon those who turn from their wicked ways and acknowledge God. Senator Kid Rock. Dont Laugh. POLITICO Magazine Laughing? No, no, nooooo. NOT laughing. Groaning. Nausea.

Inflation nightclub shooting: Couple shot at nightclub to sue police Well, it looks like we have some morons in uniform in Australia. Of course, the people shot were also morons, which balances things out a bit. Swinging clubs are straight up evil, so its harder to condemn the police in that situation. They were still stupid, and require better training than they have obviously received. Clean up your act, Victoria. FLASHBACK: ABCs 08 Prediction: NYC Under Water from Climate Change By June 2015 Okay, this article is more than a year old, and the title is all that you need. When will these morons stop being evil AND stupid? I dont know about you, but I feel a bit insulted that these morons would think that their idiocy would be so compelling that we would willingly hand over our lives to them. Come on. If youre going to be evil, at least have the decency to be smart about it! Al Gore Humiliation: NASA Study Confirms Sea Levels Are FALLING Poor Al. Id feel sorry for him, if he wasnt so evil. Drooling idiots deserve our compassion, even when they are trying their very best to destroy everything. Poor Al. Hes tried so hard to be an evil minion of Satan. But, he just cant get it right.

Snopes Begs For Money While Owner Allegedly Indulges Porn Star Wife | Daily Wire Snopes has been wrong so often, that Im surprised that anyone pays attention to them, anymore. And, this is probably the reason why they are in need of so much money in addition to their missuse of funds and embezzlment. Why are we not shocked that these socialists are spending money on prostitutes, cheating on each other and granting themselves lavish vacations all at the expense of their company? Yeah, I dont know why Im not shocked, either. House Overwhelmingly Passes Veto-Proof Russia Sanctions Deal | Zero Hedge How did America elect such stupid and evil people to be there politicians? Americas representitives want war. And, they are declaring that they want Russia destroyed. And, they know that their public reasons are all lies. Its pure corruption, and I am literally sickened by this. I am truly ashamed of my country. Obamacare Repeal Collapses as Senate GOP Blocks Health Bill Bloomberg Well, the lying liar did it. The dirtbag came out of the hospital, so that Obamacare could continue. John McCain. A dirtbag of dirtbags. ISLAM Islam is the most vile and Satanic religion on the planet. It is violent, repressive, racist and supremacist. It isnt just a religion. Its an ideology that seeks to destroy any nation, country and government that it comes in contact with. These are the articles that demonstrate what Islam REALLY is. Hero Imams Are the Muslims FINALLY trying for a reformation? Heres the summary: More than 60 Islamic leaders and imams from France, Belgium, Britain, Tunisia, and of different Islamic faiths in a move that may be unprecedented, are touring Europe to denounce Islamic terrorism and to pay homage to the victims of terror in Europe by visiting many of the sites of terror attacks. The idea seems to have shaken extremists to the core. They have been sending these imams death threats. It is therefore high time, as mankind faces a crucial turning point, that people will pull together and support any voices of peace such as those of the marching imams, and restrain any hands that would try to sabotage their noble mission. This is a good thing, short term. If this process gains ground and takes off, this movement will be used by the Antichrist. And, I smell Vatican involvement, here. MATTHEW 24:7 We are seeing the fulfillment of the words of Jesus, right now. And, it seems that Islam is leading the way. What insanity! What is wrong with North America and Europe? Have they and we gone insane? Sweden: A Failed State? But, of COURSE! Remember what I said about, The Empire of Lies? Well, the Empire is alive and well in Sweden. The only question is about which will fail first, the lies or the state. So far, the lies are winning. Heres a summary: The Swedish state, in true Orwellian style, fights those Swedish citizens who point out the obvious problems that migrants are causing. When police officer Peter Springare said in February that migrants were committing a disproportionate amount of crime in the suburbs, he was investigated for inciting racial hatred. Currently, a 70-year-old Swedish pensioner is being prosecuted for hate speech, for writing on Facebook that migrants set fire to cars, and urinate and defecate on the streets. Sixty one no-go zones and a police chief at the end of his wits, and then investigated. Where will it end? How? #DefendEurope : The Far Lefts Attempt to Silence REALITY YouTube Well, it looks like the LEFT is upping its game. Theyre going after the money streams that allow alt-media to tell the truth about what is happening. The LEFT know that people like Lauren Southern and Black Pigeon speaks cant do what they are doing, if they dont have food to eat, clothes to wear and a place to live. And, as the LEFT ramp up their efforts to destroy Europe, they need to silence those who are speaking out against them. What an evil world that we live in. SOMALI MUSLIMS TAKE OVER A SMALL TOWN IN TENNESSEE In Globalist Plan For A New America [Video] * 100percentfedUp.com If even HALF of this is true, Obama needs to be tried for treason, and then executed by firing squad if found guilty. Unfortunately, this story is completely believable. I understand why the top elites want to do this. They serve Lucifer, and Lucifer wants the world thrown into chaos and destruction. So, I understand the upper levels of this foul effort. But, the lower levels? The lower levels of this effort BELIEVE that what they are doing is good and right. And, THAT is a level of stupidity that is hard to understand. How can people be this stupid? A Month of Islam and Multiculturalism in France: June 2017 This is the summary I am in fundamental disagreement with these left-wing people who do everything to dissociate fundamentalism from Islam. Islam has been radicalized for fifty years. On the Shiite side, there was Imam Khomeini and his Islamic revolution. In the Sunni world, there was Saudi Arabia, which used its immense resources to finance the spread of this fanaticism of Wahhabism. But this historical evolution took place within Islam and not outside. When the people of the Islamic State attack, they do it by saying Allahu Akbar. So how can we then say that this has nothing to do with Islam? It must be stopped. Sir Salman Rushdie, author of the novel The Satanic Verses, who has been hunted to be killed by Muslim extremists for nearly 30 years. Residents of the Paris suburb of Me-sur-Seine complained that a mosque was blasting prayers on outdoor loudspeakers well beyond midnight each night during Ramadan. Mourad Salah, a local Muslim leader, said the city council was to blame for the noise because of its failure to provide Muslims with a larger mosque: The ball is in the mayors court. Until we have a place of prayer worthy of the name, with a greater capacity, things will be difficult. An online petition Women: An Endangered Species in the Heart of Paris accused Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo of allowing a large swathe of the city to become a no-go zone for women. Every night, hundreds of migrants from Africa and the Middle East line the pavements to form an intimidating gauntlet for women walking from the Gare du Nord and Gare de lEst railway stations to their homes, the petition said. Shouts of bitch and dirty whore are common. but it does not begin to describe the horror that has descended upon Europe. The women, the children and the elderly of Europe have now become the prey of the barbarian hordes that have invaded their cities and towns. What an utterly evil thing that has happened. Gang of thugs rampaged through Liverpool city centre attacking strangers who were white non-Muslims | Metro News Its not like you need more proof but, heres more proof. When will the West wake up? Girl, 15, is raped by two men including one she flagged down for help | UK news | The Guardian Notice how they describe the attackers as Asian. No, they do not mean Chinese or Southeast Asian. They mean Pakistani. These are Muslims raping girls, because Muhammad (eternal suffering be upon him) said that it was their right to rape non-Muslim girls. Swedish Shop Refuses Woman Service For Not Wearing Hijab They should change the name of the country from Sweden to Swedistan. And, this quote makes me sick: Some Swedish feminists say that the real problem in the suburbs is not the Islamic hardliners but rather men in general. Head of the Swedish feminist political party Feminist Initiative (FI) Victoria Kawesa said, the common denominator is mens oppression and domination. Oh right. Nothing to do with Islam. EU To Force Poland, Hungary And Czech Republic To Accept Refugees | Zero Hedge I think that its time for Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to leave the EU. Those are the only countries in the EU that have ANY sense at all. Get out, while you still have your sanity! GOG AND MAGOG Ive been writing about the coming of Gog and Magog for a while. You can find a lot of that, here: http://ezekielsfire.com/ And, the articles below point to that coming. I really, Really, REALLY hope that youll be ready for this. Please read Ezekiels Fire to make sure. (And yes, its free.) Is Turkey Becoming Another Iran? BigJon shared this in the comment section of last weeks article, and its another signpost on the way towards Gog and Magog. I sensed the darkness in Turkey, even before the AKP took over and started Islamizing the place. Its a darkness that is full of genocide of the foulest kind. Germany sought to expiate that darkness, and I truly hope that it is enough in the eyes of God. Turkey is another matter, and Im afraid that they will turn again towards genocide. Thank you again. BigJon. Im glad that youve been able to see the land that I love more than any other. A coup in the House of Saud? | Asia Times You hafta be a bit careful with the writer of this piece, Pepe Escobar. He gets a bit fast and loose with details. Ive seen it myself, so be careful. Having said that, this looks pretty legit. His explanation certainly seems to fit the facts. The new crown prince is a loose cannon, and Im betting that he will help set off Gog and Magog. Around 20 military bases to be established in western Russia before year-end TASS This is another link from Chris. And, its a whole lot more personal for him and his wife, since they would be right on the front lines of any conflict that breaks out. Kaliningrad borders Poland to the North, and Poland is the only invasion route for either Russia or NATO. And, it is a reminder of Americas awful foreign policy efforts that led to this buildup to war. We Americans did this, and people like Chris and his wife will pay the horrifying price. It is a shameful thing that we have done! Erdogan urges all Muslims to visit and protect Jerusalem | Daily Mail Online Well, it looks like the moron who is ruling Turkey is attempting to become Gog. It looks like hes laying the foundation for an invasion of Israel. This moron will cause millions and with Ezekiels Fire, even billions of people to die. Im not looking forward to that, but since you cant fix stupid bne IntelliNews Erdogan lashes out at Germany, Nato, says God willing hell have Russian missiles soon ANNNNND there goes Turkey. This is NOT a surprise. Im just surprised that it took this long. So, when will the Syrian conflict end? When will Iran, Russia, Central Asia, Libya and Somalia get together for some war planning? North Korea threatens merciless blow to US as data shows Moscow aiding regime This does NOT surprise me. Its a cheap way for Russia to divide Americas military resources, and Russia gets cheap labor out of it, as well. For those of you who sympathise with Russia, please remember that the Russian government is as corrupt as Americas. The difference is that America has more money and bigger guns. Russias Real Endgame The Daily Reckoning Jim Rickards gets it. Why is it so hard to understand Russia? I find this myopia to be perplexing. Its as if we have all decided that being able to think is just too hard, so weve decided not to. Russia doesnt want to rule the world. What Russia wants, is what it has always wanted to not be invaded. For centuries, everyone has been invading Russia, and they want it to stop. This doesnt mean that Russia is good. They arent. Although, they arent especially bad. Theyre just Russia. Having said that, the globalists do not want Russia to be just Russia. So, they will attempt to invade, and have attempted to invade. Russia has been forced to push back. This is why they are allied with Iran, and are working on forging an alliance with Turkey. Unfortunately, it will result in Gog and Magog. The Current Big Lie Is There are so many big lies out there, that its hard to keep track. However, this is a pretty big one. And, it was created by some of the most evil people on the planet. And, this lie that Russia invaded Ukraine and stole Crimea will play a huge role in the fulfillment of prophecy. We will call it the coming of Gog and Magog, and the blame will rest upon the dirtbags in Congress and the foul fiends from Hell of the US Dept. of State. Russia To Stay In Syria For The Next 50 Years | Zero Hedge And, that one isnt a surprise, either. There is joy in seeing the prophecies that God gave to the prophets, come to fruition. But, I shudder at the numbers of dead and dying that will be the result. The world has been warned, and God is just. The Saudi Power Balance Is On A Knife-Edge | OilPrice.com Wait, the health of the Fish King is declining? King Salman? And, hes appointed his son to be king, after him? Trouble in River Cit I mean Saudi Arabia. In fact, if MBS becomes king any time soon there will be war. The Historical Turning-Point Has Arrived Please remember that the weakening and fall of an empire, always leaves a power vacuum. Always. And, global politics abhors a vacuum. I believe that Gog and Magog will be a part of an effort to fill that vacuum. ISRAEL The Land of Israel and the People of Israel are at the heart of what is happening in these Last Days. God is at work IN Israel and WITH Israel. If you are against Israel, then you are a supporter of Islam and Satan. If you are FOR Israel, then you support the work of God and the victory that God will have over Lucifer. Please join me in that battle. Jordan wont let Israeli Embassy guard, who shot 2 after being stabbed, leave the country | The Times of Israel Events continue to escalate. Unless someone steps in to calm things down, soon, I think that well be having a Third Intifada. The second one did not end well for the Palestinians, and this one will be worse. Federal Judge Blocks Mass Deportation of Iraqis NBC News Here is even more information on the stabbing of the Israeli guard, and his self defense. Amman had better get the situation under control, before they LOSE control. Israel removes Temple Mount metal detectors that enraged the Muslim world Israel News Jerusalem Post Well, that didnt last long. It looks like Israel took down the metal detectors to get back the security guard from Jordan. Well see how well that works out. The morons are spoiling for a fight. Israel National Trail YouTube This made me a little homesick. Taiwan is beautiful, but theres nothing, NOTHING like Israel. If you get the chance, go and see what Im talking about. Rebel Planet Dispatch: A Weakened Israels Appeasement of Islam Has Failed I try to stear clear of criticism of Israel, for a number of reasons that are too long to list here. Suffice it to say that Israel generally knows what its doing, and it has a very strong moral compass. And, dumping on Israel is just plain wrong. They have a hard enough time trying to survive, without having us add our own ignorant outrage to their problems. But, Marcel is right. In fact, Marcel is so right, all the time, that I recommend that you read everything that he posts. How is Marcel right, this time? Because Israel forgot that the only thing that the Arabs respect is strength and determination. Arab culture is violent, everywhere. Thats just the way that it is, and Islam is a reflection of that culture. And, Israelis dont really understand Islam. I know that this sounds strange, but its true. Ive noticed this, myself. For Netanyahu, who was an officer in Israels most elite special forces The Sayeret RamatKal to take this step I have to wonder if he has lost his mind. This appeasement is setting up Israel for Gog and Magog. Eventually, Israel will be backed into a corner, and her inevitable response will lead to world condemnation and invasion by Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, Somalia and a host of other nations. All of this was prophesied, so we must sit back and watch. We still need to yell as loudly as we can, and Marcel is doing that. But, the cost I truly hope that youll be ready for this A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
