"Actually the fed was born in 1913 and it took them less than 20 years to first inflate, then deflate and then make the people homeless . [Speedy little Parasite bastards, aren't they] So the current mess is the second time they did it, in less than 100 years." David S...
...to which I posted a comment to my own article admitting my own regrettable ignorance of historical facts:
"...thank you for pointing my historical error out to me--but that seems to make the matter even worse, given the old Scottish proverb, "Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me." Is any one up for a third round of "Fool me..."!?!"
I suppose that some may have wondered why I have posted some of my recent submissions (including this one) to the Nolan Chart topic of: History of Liberty in America. After all, I have been discussing current and not historical events within the subject material of said submissions but in reality, I feel that we are currently witnessing, day by day as it unfolds, what will in the future be considered to be the historical decline of "liberty" in America and that is why I have posted them thusly...
...so are you up to a third round of "Fool me" !?! (Say this to yourself in a Scottish accent and it has more effect)...David S's comment and historical correction sent me off on a totally different tangent from my intentions of following up with a part two of The Day They Repossess the World, which is still forthcoming and which is still, in itself (in my mind), a worthy subject; involving using Local Resource Utilization by the local populace in order to fulfill local needs and insulate the local Producing community from the immediate ravages of the (now) global Parasites--sort of a "Think Locally/Act Locally/screw Globally" survivalist mentality I guess...
...it bears intense witness to the current critical state of affairs that a man of the caliber of Congressman/Dr. Ron Paul has to resort to a media outlet of the caliber of RussiaToday--why not USAToday--as an avenue to his insightful commentary on current affairs--not to demean RussiaToday in any way at all--instead rather to thank them for giving an outlet to the extraordinary expression of Constitutional liberty that is to be found in his words--but where is the American media in providing such an avenue to him!?! It is withdrawn, distant and non-existent; just as it was during his campaign for President--and why?...
So apparently, according to the powers that be, in order to fix the mess that the Central Banks of the nations have gotten us into we need just one big, international Central Bank--the same thing only bigger! Yeh. Makes sense to me--if you're up to a third round of "Fool me"...
So what's really at play here?
My dad wrote me back after he had finished reading, "Red!/High Alert," with this comment:
"Those who don't understand about the coming of the one world gov. which God has made very clear in prophecy will fail to understand that what is happening to the financial systems of the USA and for that matter all of the nations around the world is just one of many such occurrences that has to take place, and one religion is also to be one of the steps though that one will be further down the road but it too is inevitable.
You know the FIRST thing we are to ask for in (the Lords prayer) our prayer is "Thy Kingdom Come" and it will not come till the prophecies are fulfilled and again One World Gov. is one of them so we should be thankful that this shitty world is getting closer to coming to it's end when we see things like this happening as it is a sign that His word will stand and His will, will be done, so in short we should be excited and even rejoicing (even though terrible things are coming) that these things are beginning to form and take place because it MUST and it WILL happen according to HIS Word and no amount of warnings or the such will or can change a thing.
dad"
Amen and ibid, dad. He is totally correct. But even if one believes so--you still have to give out a warning.
Perhaps this is news to you or perhaps you have heard of it but did not put much stock in it--but indeed, prophetically, the Bible speaks very specifically of events at the End of the Age and herein a Global government, economy and religion are at the forefront of it.
So here is my own much abridged interpretation of what Biblical prophesy dictates will take place at the End of the Age:
Financial Babylon (being the body financial and having been around since, well, Babylon) will in the End put into power her own political Beast of burden in order to better facilitate her insatiable greed. This will be the End-time Beast (being the body political) of the book of Revelation. This political Beast will "devour" the entire world. It will put in place ten divisional jurisdictions upon the seven continents of the world but they will, ultimately, be accountable to a single, global jurisdiction. At some future point there will be a military conflict and three of the ten heads will receive a deadly wound, as by the sword (i.e. a war). From this conflict and its resolution will arise a person who will be the "little horn/False Prophet" of prophecy, i.e. the Biblical Antichrist of the End Time. He will finally consolidate Global rule, a Global religion and a Global economy--sort of a Global Pax Romana, if you will. He will then turn the political Beast against the financial Babylon that created the political Beast and destroy her. In instituting Global rule, a Global religion and a Global economy he will debut the "mark" of the Beast, i.e. a system of currency, which if accepted damns the receiver for it is understood that in accepting the Global system of currency the receiver must also first accept the Global religion and the Global system of government and its individual head as being both supreme and divine. Those who do not accept the Global rule, Global religion and Global system of currency are persecuted and many are martyred. By prosperity he will destroy many. When he declares, "Peace and prosperity" on a Global scale then the Lord Jesus Christ returns and he gathers his armies to do battle with Him at Armageddon and is ultimately destroyed and the thousand year reign of Jesus Christ and His saints begins. In all of this there are two qualifying points to consider. The Global government might not be so apparent. It will have the overall appearance of a Democracy but it will speak with the absolute authority of a Monarchy and militarily it will exhibit the ruthlessness and genocidal massacre tendencies of past Communist regimes like the Soviet Union and China. But as in the Roman Empire of the past, the individual nations will still exist--still having their own presidents, kings and prime ministers--yet still subject, obedient and paying tribute to (Global) Rome. When the Global political Beast turns upon and destroys its creator, i.e. financial Babylon, it will be a "Robin Hood scenario" of the massive redistribution of wealth; the evil (financial Babylonian) empire that operated according to its own informed self interest and thereby polluted the environment, defrauded the laborers, contaminated the environment with genetically engineered life forms for the sake of a profit and lived luxuriously while the majority hungered in poverty and want will be put down--thereby, undoubtedly making it (the Global political Beast) a very popular movement with the masses of humanity...
...so you can perhaps see within all of this why anything "Global" or "One World" in context and perspective makes the truly Biblical Jew and Christian wary......these very things (depending upon one's interpretation of them) are to be found in both the Old and New Testament of the Bible. They have been written therefore they must be fulfilled. Oh! You didn't know--well then bother to look!!! Like my dad said, when you see Globalism in the works realize that it must come to pass before we can get on to better things--but I still don't have to like it--and I still stand obligated to point out its gross error and danger to the individual's Eternal well-being--and I am obligated to warn others of it even though they might scoff...
"Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say unto them, "When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he sees the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; then whosoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and takes not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that takes warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand..." Ezekiel 33:2-6
In this context, the Bible is replete with prophecies of God's judgments against the "robbers of His people" and "the robbers of the treasures of the nations" (i.e. financial Babylon) and in this one thing the Bible even states that the little horn/Anitchrist and the political Beast of the Revelation do the will of God in that they destroy and exact His judgment upon financial Babylon...
...the exact form in which these things foretold in Biblical prophecy will come to pass is unfathomable--but I, personally, see a hint of it happening now...
In His Love,
Michael

Folks who are close to me have often noted that my indelible optimism often blunts my outrage. That's fine by me, from what I've seen, the power of outrage is highly over rated. So, in keeping with my optimistic view that those who are best prepared for what actually happens have the best chance of thriving through adversity, I have added one more hope for the future to my list of possible outcomes for our current situation.
My two long-standing hopes have been that :
1. This cycle of civilization will end the reign of the Keynesian/Friedmanites who are now destroying the world as we know it.
2. Future individuals will routinely peg collectivists as deadly enemies rather than as annoying ignoramuses.
These outcomes would be huge advances in the struggle for individual liberty.
After reading Michael's article I have decided these two wonderful outcomes are not enough. The third necessary component for the rise of a liberty-based society is for the Christian prophesy to be totally and forever debunked as well.

Dear Jafre Fire Eater -
I think that (for some) #3 is actually a precursor for #1 and #2 to happen. What do you think?
Dear Michael -
The fellow is a bit of an annoying smart-aleck, but have you tried "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins? Faith that God exists is always like trying to prove a negative, it has not yet been done. Is there any evidence proving the Book of Ezekiel or Revelation has validity or not?
Off topic, but do you believe in the Book of Leviticus? I just had an interesting conversation with a fellow today who believed in it. Fortunately (for his daughters), at the end, he admitted he would never treat his daughters per the examples of piety in Leviticus.
The problem with fantasizing about the end of the world in a religious fashion is that some people actually believe it. If you really want to scare yourself, I would think that the pure economics side of it would be enough!
That said, write on!

Hey guys, Thanks for your comments, Jafre Fire Eater and Jake. I knew just as soon as I clicked on "Submitted" that this sort of banter would arise. But I don't mind. I realize that I can no more prove to you that my God exists than you can prove to me that He does not--so inevitably the arguement cancels itself out... ...admittedly, being a Christian does put a particular slant on one's world view--but no more or less than being an Atheist, or a Muslim, or a Buddhist, or a Humanist, or a Satanist does so likewise... ...or for that fact a Keynesian/Friedmanite or a collectivist--man, these people really seem to bug you two--but, Constitutionally they have their right to exist as do you and as do I... ...that's the main reason I supported Ron Paul; not because he was a Christian Conservative, but because he was a strict Constitutionalist--if he had become President I know that the Christian right would not have gotten what they had hoped for out of him because he would have governed strictly by the Constitution--all I hoped for in him was my Constitutional right to exist within my own system of beliefs...

Dear Michael -
Please don't take my comment as having anything to do with your privilege to freedom of religion, we have the same thinking in that we respect the sanctity of the thoughts of others.... although I have to say from Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine, John Perkin's Confessions of an Economic Hitman, Chalmer's Blowback, etc. that there is a lot of evidence that the Friedmanite Chicago School severely infringed upon the economic freedom of oppressed people all over the world.
As far as your comment on proving God exists, were you raised a Christian? (rhetorical question and for the record, I was too) As far as holding up my end, to prove the negative, I referred to Dawkins' book above. If you can read that with an open mind, you will understand why, even if I were religious in the Christian/Buddhist/Friedmanite/Spaghetti monster/Keynesian/Austrian god context, I would still let my children come of age before deciding to follow (and which) religion. The God Delusion is a pretty decent scientific and philosophic examination as to the existence of a Christian God.
I am glad you didn't take my remarks as offensive, we are on the same team when it comes to the Constitution!

The "mark" of the beast is MONEY. The correct translation should be: "No one buys or sells without the MONEY of the beast on/in mimd/hand." (The Greek word mistranslated as "mark" actually means MONEY.)

Perhaps the mark of the beast is already here in the form of a credit score. Three digit mark of the beast = three digit credit score. While the 666 is what is commonly know as the mark of the beast, some scholars say the use of 6 for each digit merely represents a digit place therefore equaling 3 digits in general.
In any event, I know I am sounding my horn daily. I talk about the blatant injustices that lay at the hands of our government and the one world government is already taking shape with the Euro, NAFTA, UN, Nato, and others. It is already here.
I like to think of all of the people that are taking time to sound their horn about what is going on would be considered apostles of the liberty gospel according to Ron. Granted, I do not believe he is the second coming per se, I just think Ron Paul has indeed been the loudest and most vocal with his horn and many of us have followed suit. We have followed suit as the truth we have found out thus far is the truth we have know all along. Thank the lord that someone was able to articulate it and many more will help to spread the word.
Has anyone signed up as a precinct leader at www.campaignforliberty.com yet? If not, this is a great place to learn how to play your horn like a pro.

Jake,No problem, hey, I know where you’re at with this my friend; the enemy of my enemy is my friend...
So as to your question, was I raised a Christian--Yes, I was raised a Christian, but not in a stable and static way. From birth to age twelve I was raised a denominational Lutheran. At age twelve I "went forward" and gave my life to the Lord at a Billy Graham sponsored event (a 1969 tour of a movie entitled For Pete’s Sake). About that same time my folks quit the Lutheran denomination and joined Herbert W. Armstrong’s Worldwide Church of God which, in a nutshell, observed all of the Old Testament Holy Days, the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath and the dietary restrictions (clean and unclean meats) of the Old Testament and believed in Jesus Christ and the New Testament. At the age of twenty-eight my wife, children and I left WWCG in what I can only describe as a deeper calling of God to me in His Son Christ Jesus. Subsequently, within the circumstances of my life, I was able to take a "time out" from the cares of this world and study the Bible for two years; imagine, I read my own Bible myself and then set out to live my life according to its precepts and teachings even though I only very rarely attend "church," (I am all-too-fond of referring to denominations and churches as "organizations which use His Name"). So, again, as to your question, was I raised a Christian–Yes, but not in a born-into-and-currently-stuck-in-a-singular-denominational mindset way; I have had enough of my own personal spiritual sojourn in this life to see that I have a long way to go yet...
...so here’s the point, Jake, I must admit that I commented in ignorance about whatever the heck a Friedmanite is–I honestly don’t know (the Keynesian part a little more so)–so now I’ll have to spend some time to research and inform myself concerning them–but even in my ignorance of what they are I will again capitalize my point utilizing them–within a basis of what is "right" and what is "wrong," on what basis are they to be by anyone judged–if there is no God and therefore no pre-existing definition of what is right and what is wrong? Without an absolute basis for a foundation of right and wrong, a foundation for the source of our ethics and morals, how can we determine what is right and what is wrong and who is right and who is wrong? If the Keynesian/Friedmanites and collectivists are successful, well then–hey, sucks to be the victim and it’s great to be the victor–and if they survive and their victims fail within a survival of the fittest scenario then I guess that’s just the natural order of things–and in the aftermath of their success "right" and "wrong" will have to yet again be redefined...
...I know you’ll probably just absolutely cringe at this; but I am not totally unfamiliar with Dawkins’ The God Delusion–I am familiar with it only to the extent that it was featured in Ben Stein’s Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. I doubt (and hope) that you have not seen it, probably not, since it is the same anathema to you that Dawkins’ book is to me–so here’s the deal, if you will view Stein’s movie/documentary; and I mean pay attention to it to the point that you could be given and pass a test concerning it’s content; just as you would expect of me if I read Dawkins--then I will read Dawkins’ book in a likewise manner...
...it’s always easier to stand upon principle if you know that you have a better offer awaiting you in case your current circumstances fail–as a Biblical Christian this is exactly what I have...

Raquel B; R3volt–and for that matter, Jake,I appreciate your enthusiasm, by God I do; but it’s time to change this venue.
For one, as it concerns my Christian view on world events, I will post subsequent articles to Nolan Chart’s "Religion" topic–
–by the way, R3volt, it is already here–but only in its "toddler" stage–and by the way, Raquel B, it isn’t just generically "money"–but it will be the "money" of the near future...
Secondly, visit my writer’s page at:
and find my "Contact the Writer" link and provide me with your email addresses directly and I will likewise, in return, provide you with mine and we can communicate directly rather than through Nolan Chart’s commendable "Comments" forum...
...times are just now looking fearful–but realize that "fear" is not of Faith and if it is not of Faith it is not of God–His Perfect Love for us casts out all fear–put your Faith in Him and find your center in Him in these times...
In His Love,
Michael

Michael,
You are right. Worldwide government is in its toddler stage. It stumbles all over the place, constantly whining and can barely express itself in the most appropriate manner. In fact, it still messes its pants when it gets too excited and runs away to hide when things are not going right.
In light of all of this, I still like to think we are about to embark upon an upcoming golden age. Those of us in the know are preparing for the worst, but while the winds of worldwide government will blow in many different directions it will not be strong enough to break the resolve of true patriots of freedom and liberty. Those who care for liberty and freedom are starting to stand up. Just look at Iceland, China, Ireland (standing up against the Euro), America, other countries, and even the Russians are paying attention to the message of freedom and liberty in their mainstream news. Revolts are rising across the world and as this central planning situation continues to crumble more and more will step up as patriots to freedom and liberty.
While America was once the leader in this freedom movement, this is a natural instinct of all men and woman. This natural push for freedom will come from the good and we will win in the end. Freedom and liberty is a universal language. It has no country, it has no borders. It is an instinct of all men and women. Despite whathe media says, freedom and liberty have no religion. Freedom and liberty ISa religion and the will of our creator. Our creator would be upset with us if we did not stand up to tyranny and oppression.
The golden age is coming and with the Internet, the seeds of freedom and liberty are being planted across the world. Their worldwide government system will not work. Just look how central planning in other countries is failing. People are waking up and will resist.
Our day of worldwide freedom is coming. It is a blessing and a curse that our generation will be living through this transformation to the golden age. A blessing because we have the opportunity to help lead the way to freedom and liberty, but a curse as this will indeed be painful and will put many of us at risk. I will take my risks and I will take my freedom. It is what was inteded by our creator, no matter who you believe the creator to be.
