How the end will come...
A paper currency system contains the seeds of its own destruction. The temptation for the monopolist money producer to increase the money supply is almost irresistible. In such a system with a constantly increasing money supply and, as a consequence, constantly increasing prices, it does not make much sense to save in cash to purchase assets later. A better strategy, given this senario, is to go into debt to purchase assets and pay back the debts later with a devalued currency. Moreover, it makes sense to purchase assets that can later be pledged as collateral to obtain further bank loans. A paper money system leads to excessive debt.
This is especially true of players that can expect that they will be bailed out with newly produced money such as big businesses, banks, and the government.
We are now in a situation that looks like a dead end for the paper money system. After the last cycle, governments have bailed out malinvestments in the private sector and boosted their public welfare spending. Deficits and debts skyrocketed. Central banks printed money to buy public debts (or accept them as collateral in loans to the banking system) in unprecedented amounts. Interest rates were cut close to zero. Deficits remain large. No substantial real growth is in sight. At the same time banking systems and other financial players sit on large piles of public debt. A public default would immediately trigger the bankruptcy of the banking sector. Raising interest rates to more realistic levels or selling the assets purchased by the central bank would put into jeopardy the solvency of the banking sector, highly indebted companies, and the government. It looks like even the slowing down of money printing (now called “QE tapering”) could trigger a bankruptcy spiral. A drastic reduction of government spending and deficits does not seem very likely either, given the incentives for politicians in democracies.
So will money printing be a constant with interest rates close to zero until people lose their confidence in the paper currencies? Can the paper money system be maintained or will we necessarily get a hyperinflation sooner or later?

A WARNING AND ENCOURAGEMENT
There is a day coming when the economy will go thru a very hard reset. It's going to be painful. Our nation for the last decade has been moving towards this. I have tried to point out the drift. When it comes to a conclusion and the collapse happens, you should expect these things to happen. I wrote of these things when I posted the 2014 word of the Lord.
http://homehomes.blogspot.com/2013/
It's my purpose to let you know what it will be like so you can prepare the best you can:
From Rockwell
Travel Restrictions. This will begin with restrictions on foreign travel, including suspension/removal of passports. (This has begun in a small way in both the EU and US.) Later, travel restrictions will be extended within the boundaries of countries (highway checkpoints, etc.)
Confiscation of wealth. The EU has instituted the confiscation of bank accounts, which can be expected to become an international form of governmental theft. This does not automatically mean that other assets, such as precious metals and real estate will also be confiscated, but it does mean that the barrier for confiscation has been eliminated. There is therefore no reason to assume that any asset is safe from any government that approves theft through bail-ins.
Food Shortages. The food industry operates on very small profit margins and survives only as a result of quick payment of invoices. With dramatic inflation, marginal businesses (suppliers, wholesalers, and retailers) will fall by the wayside. The percentage of failing businesses will be dependent upon the duration and severity of the inflationary trend.
Squatters Rebellions. A dramatic increase in the number of home and business foreclosures will result in homelessness for anyone whose debt exceeds his ability to pay—even those who presently appear to be well-off. As numbers rise significantly, a new homeless class will be created amongst the former middle class. As they become more numerous, large scale ownership of property may give way to large scale “possession” of property.
Riots. These will likely happen spontaneously due to the above conditions, but if not, governments will create them to justify their desire for greater control of the masses.
Martial Law. The US has already prepared for this, with the passing of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which many interpret as declaring the US to be a “battlefield.” The NDAA allows the suspension of habeas corpus, indefinite detention, and the assumption that any resident may be considered an enemy combatant. Similar legislation may be expected in other countries that perceive martial law as a solution to civil unrest.
The US government, for the last decade, has been moving increasingly closer to what can only be described as a police state. With watch lists, militarized police departments, legislative actions, and executive orders the government has already set the stage for these secondary events.
When the system itself is no longer able to support the tens of millions of Americans receiving monthly government assistance, one hiccup could set the whole thing ablaze.
While it can’t be avoided on a national scale, there are advance preparations that individuals and their families can make to, at the very least, insulate themselves from the secondary event triggers. This includes storing essential physical goods and keeping them in your possession. Things like long-term food supplies, barterable goods, monetary goods, self defense armaments and having a well thought outpreparedness plan will, if nothing else, provide you with the means necessary to stay out of the way it all hits the fan.
My comment:
This is not an end time event. Don't be deceived. This is essential and is the mercy of God to demonstrate how futile the efforts of humanity are without HIM. It will lead to the greatest revival that has ever happened in history. This event will be global. There is no rapture to take out out of this. This is not the great tribulation, it will be difficult, it will be a time of great trouble. The result will be a new and better civilization. We will learn much from this. Trust in Government will collapse. Even though there will be despots attempting to grab power in this time, it will fail. There will be warfare but it will be sporadic.
Gods word is "Fear Not" ... however be prepared and face the end of this time and the beginning of the next with great courage. The worst that can happen is you could die, and if you are secure in Christ.... that's not so bad. Be bold be strong for the Lord thy God is with you.

This is what I do when I am consulting.
After looking over deep
documentation, examining inventories, interviewing key management,
poking around the whole operation, restructuring spreadsheet
assumptions, I am then able to establish a value
and analysis a customer can take to the bank. Or the bank can find
comfort in. Or the lawyers can use to establish equity. The net result
is a written report sometimes up 100 pages long. This one is. Having
eyes to see behind the curtain is a marketable ability.
Sometimes what looks like a good deal on the outside ends up being an ever-loving bag of snakes.
I had a potential customer order $20,000 worth of goods
a few days ago. It had been a hard program to put it all together. My
profit would have been $4000 for simply handling the paperwork. It
seemed like a good deal...then a red light went off. Something wasn't
right. I knew this was a situation that
was going to become a problem. I stopped. I might have left $4000 on
the table...but some deals are better walked away from than entering
into and regretting it all later. I have had a few of those. I believe
I did right by walking away. The best deals we make in life sometimes
are those we don't do.
If you ain't democrat you ain't nothin..
I
guess the only REAL QUALIFIED BLACK candidates are democrats according
to the black leaders in this country. If you ain't democrat you ain't
nothin... and that's what black voters get when they vote
democrat...nothin. The plantation is well
controlled, keep em in their place, keep em voting democrat.. keep
giving them nothin. I frequent the loyal democrat voting precincts of
Chicago and I can report with authority that being a good loyal democrat
has got them nothing. NOTHING. I mind is a terrible thing to
waste...but they are wasted.
OK, I'm taking up a collection to buy Mr and Mrs Kardashian a one way ticket for them to the country of their choice if they fulfill their promise. No deposit no return.
Let's make sure they fully both revoke
all citizenship before they run off.
Buh Bye. Don't let that door hit you in the behind Mr K. I'm really
tired of you and your antics.... and you aren't good for the culture.
So do us all a favor...go away PLEASE. You aren't Jesus, I asked Him,
you ain't.
I guess the Murderer Casey Anthony was busy.
These two represent the
lowest of the low...but that's Public Broadcasting. I support when they
show opera, Sherlock and that show where the Wildebeast is chased down
and eaten by a lion. Otherwise they are vermin.
If you are a Christian and support President Obama, I want to know if your support and allegiance to President Obama extends beyond your vote for him and includes his policies?
Do you support him in His:
- -support for Gay Marriage
- -allowing openly gay people in the military
- -declaring weed and alcohol equal
- -accommodation of Islam and the Muslim Religion
- -foreign Policy as represented by the debacles in Syria and Libya
- -stagnant economy and declining
- -#20 in economic freedom (down from #4)
- -high and persistent unemployment
- -unequivocal support for abortion on demand
- -centralized control of grade school education content (common core)
- -bungled and bungling attempts to nationalize health care
- -out of control EPA
- -crony capitalism in failed green energy frauds
- -takeover and huge losses from the nationalization of Chrysler and GM (we'll never get our money back)
- -continued empowering of big banks by feeding them free money
- -stimulus attempts that did nothing like cash for clunkers and shovel ready jobs
- -doubling the debt that our nation owes in 5 years. Not increasing, DOUBLING
- -trampling the Constitution in free speech, freedom of religion, second amendment rights
- -changing laws duly passed by the congress (Obamacare) and changing they by fiat
- -questionable social security number origin
- -IRS abuse of power and no consequence to those in charge
- -intentionally lying about the Benghazi affair and yet no consequence for those in charge
- -gun running to gangs in Mexico, our men in uniform are killed, no consequence for those in charge
- -using racism to help him get re-elected in 2012 (If I had a son he would look like Trayvon)
I would go on, but I am wondering if you buy into his program? He is president for 36 more months. I don't hate him, I hate all the things above that he stands for.... all his supporters praying for him has done no good at all as he takes us further down. When do we stand up and begin to oppose him IN THE SPIRIT?
That would include speaking against the demonic that is manifesting. IF you think it's OK to continue to support him and it's not OK to speak out against him, I would like chapter and verse.
A solution to marriage problems
This
is ostensibly about the unification church (rev Moon) but it's actually
an article from the USA today about arranged marriages. I'm from a
culture where it was normative for marriages to be arranged. We all
love the Moravian culture (the roots of
IHOP) but the Moravians arranged all marriages. What is interesting is
the LOW divorce rate among those in arranged marriages. You just
don't... and they are about as happy as any. I'm only a couple
generations away from those who last had marriages arranged for them.
When I see all the wonderful young women and lonely young men who would
like to "meet someone"... I'm not sure that as spiritual leaders (not
like Rev Moon) we do wrong by helping those who want to connect in this
area. I know this goes against our current culture of love and romance
(see the Bachelor and Bachelorette shows on TV) but how's that been
working out with our national divorce rates? One other thing, the
Spiritual Leader (Apostle, Pastor, Reverend, Bishop of whatever) who
arranges this has a reputational investment in helping this work. I
think we could use a little intervention. Just thinking out loud. TLD
blasphemy
I
hesitated to show this. YET on the anniversary of ROE v Wade it was
shown on Jimmy Kimmel Live (which I will never watch). It's crude
blasphemy. Watch at your own risk. This is the kind of thing the
pagans and godless among us believe and embrace (as funny and clever).
PBS has named Sarah Sliverman as one of the female leaders of our generation. That's who the world holds up as "Greatness". There is no middle ground. At one point the "jesus" character says, I'm Jesus f..ing christ. It turned my stomach. I heard about this on a news show and looked it up.
We have to know it's not enough to pray for the lost like Silverman, but to wage spiritual warfare against the blaspheming antichrist spirit being released in this that drags people to hell. Standing for righteousness means standing. Do all then STAND!!

take note that in my neighborhood most people are unaware of this, so
as a public service to all the people I will meet on the road today,

This is funny stuff - Comparing Putin to Obama in pictures
Given that presidential hopefuls are already gearing up for the 2016 election, we'd like to remind you to vote for Vladimir Putin in the Democratic primaries. Any way you look at it, Putin is still cooler than Obama and more experienced than Hillary.
To this effect, we collected, edited, and formatted different versions of pictorial Putin-Obama comparisons that are being circulated on the Internet, bringing them to one easily accessible infographic:

What does Jesus look like?
More accurately what DID He look like when he
was on earth? We have clues. Shroud of Turin. Some paintings that were
painted within a hundred years of His life. We have renderings by
people who have had a vision of Him. I
have one such as the "Wallpaper" on my computer screen. Of course
there's that blue eyed, blond haired German Jesus we have on our walls.
LOL. I guess Luther must have painted that one.
So what does He look like NOW? John the Revelator had a vision of Him. Not much like the pictures we have. There are other reports of Him from scripture after the resurrection.
People keep trying to figure this deal out.
I have had a few glimpses myself. Here's what I will report and yes I am saying far less than I know. He looks to us as He would recognizable. When He is revealed there is no surprise. No one seeing Him says, WOW I didn't think He looked like THAT. He is revealed to us as we see him. Always in Love. Always with compassion. But if He were revealed to ten thousand different people today visibly, He would be different to many than to others. It's not that He changes, it's the revelation of His Beauty. And the more we come to know Him, the more beautiful He becomes and His revelation changes. It's an eye of beholder thing. YET to all people He will be as beautiful as you can stand... or comprehend.. and just as you grasp a bit of that He reveals a bit more and you fall and cry HOLY.

"---he
(Obama) strongly defended those who work in the intelligence community,
saying they do not abuse power. "After all," he said, "the folks at NSA
and other intelligence agencies are our neighbors and our friends."
I worked in East Germany right after the wall went down. The big shock was that the Stasi (Ministry of State Security) used friends and neighbors to spy on others for them. We have become a despotic dictatorship... Just Like the ehemalige DDR. Read what it was like, it is exactly what Obama described yesterday in his speech. More on the Stasi... exactly what is happening here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi

RATS... Illinois is no longer number ONE...or Fifty if you want to count it that way.
We used to be the least fisically solvent state in the whole
union. We used to be the basket case of the nation. The poorest run
state EVER. Well guess what. It's no
longer true. The worst is now New Jersey. Kind of a bad year for Mr
Christie. The worst run states in the whole of the united states are in
order of BAD are
Number One New Jersey
Number Two Illinois
Number Three Connecticut
Number Four Massachusetts
Number Five California
and dishonorable mention, number Six...NEW YORK.
Isn't it interesting that ALL of these States are overwhelmingly BLUE states, Democrat Voting. The BEST states from a fiscal standpoint is NEBRASKA... BY A LONG SHOT.

Where are these high paying gigs?
I did this enough times to know I didn't want to do this for a living long term....
WORSE THEN THAT: On NPR yesterday was a long sympathetic piece to the Muslim brotherhood ... a real sob story.
Egypt throws out the muslim brotherhoodlums and adopts a new constitution with a 98% majority that protects women's rights and supports freedom of religion... doesn't get reported by the US media.
I know this for sure
Nicotine
must be the most addictive thing on the planet. If you smoked in
earlier years you will know. It's the only "Drug" that the first time
you tried it you got sick, threw up, turned green, dizzy (come on you
know what I'm talking about) and couldn't wait until you could have the
next one. That's addiction.
New rich isn't always good rich.
North
Dakota has the most new millionaires of any state in the union. Handling wealth well is one of the
greatest challenges people face in life.
The Doctor is in.
The Obama's are gonna need some wisdom from the "LOVE DOCTOR" to get this healed up.
