What is the Federal Reserve Hiding From Us?

 I understand that most Americans have no clue how the monetary system works in America.  They don't understand the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury and how money is created for our financial system.  That being said I believe most Americans can understand the simple idea that paper money isn't really worth anything beyond the paper it's printed on.  It's only worth something because of the faith and confidence that people have in it on any given day.  I'll take your $20 bill in exchange for 8 dozen eggs because I believe that I will be able to exchange that $20 bill tomorrow for some other product I need, like chicken feed.

But we also understand that if the US Treasury suddenly flew helicopters all over the country dropping billions of hundred dollar bills to scatter over the entire land that those paper bills would become worth less.  And if you scatter billions more on another helicopter drop the next day you could shatter the faith and confidence in those paper bills and make them worthless.

Of course something is very wrong today with our financial system.  Zero interest rates and the FED "buying" US Treasuries to make sure there is "demand" for them?

Increasing debt is not necessarily bad. However, when it grows much faster than the ability to pay for it, it becomes problematic. The ratio of federal debt to GDP stands at 125%, up from 105% before the pandemic and more than double the percentage from before the financial crisis.

The Treasury needs low interest rates and consistent buyers of its debt to keep such an unsustainable pace going. Through zero interest rates and purchases of $80 billion Treasury notes a month, the Fed fills both needs.

One day America will come tumbling down.  It will happen because we are rejected the King of Kings, Jesus Christ, and started worshipping Mammon, the demon god of money and material things.  Right now we are standing on the edge of the abyss.  Many can't understand why it hasn't collapsed already but Bible readers understand that it will happen in God's perfect timing.

So don't cling to your money real tight.  In another day, week, month or year it could start falling in value so precipitously that you will look for ways to get rid of it by trying to buy something tangible with it...if you can find any willing sellers. 

Without extremely low interest rates to make the new and existing debt affordable, economic growth would disappear, and financial defaults would be plentiful.

The Fed must believe it must help Congress worsen the nation's fiscal imbalances versus dealing with the problem in a sustainable manner. Expediency at tomorrow’s cost, once again, seems to be winning the day.

Summary

The Fed does not want to pierce multiple asset bubbles or force the Treasury to pay normal market interest rates. The financial markets are extremely fragile, and the debt situation is unsustainable. Hiding such actions under the guise of appropriate monetary policy seems to be their modus operandi.

It will continue to use gibberish arguments to avoid addressing the real problems. William White, a distinguished economist with significant central bank experience, wrote: "Perhaps the real framework is anything that justifies not tightening?"

Use caution when investing. "The most inappropriate monetary policy" is the sole bedrock supporting the most egregious asset valuations in well over 100 years.

Left Lose Their Minds Over January 6 Documentary

 Have you noticed that folks on the Conservative side have never believed the January 6 “insurrection” was a huge deal while the Liberals think it’s the biggest deal since the Civil War?  There may have some over-zealous folks that went too far but there seems to be no evidence that the crowd was intent on taking over the government. 

Now Tucker Carlson is rolling out a documentary about January 6 where he exposes that he found government agents involved in pushing the violence on that day to make sure that something happened that could be blamed on Trump and his supporters.

Is it true?  I have no idea.  Should he be allowed to show it?  For sure.  But watch the Liberals already coming out and saying it should be banned.  Why?  For the same reason you can’t yell “fire!” in a movie theatre.  That sure seems like a stretch. But the Left will stretch all things to silence any opposition to their agenda.

Israel to Ban U.S. Tourists Unless They Get the Jab

 Pretty sad deal that’s happening here. Bible-believing followers of Christ make up the largest group of Americans who want to visit Israel. Those same folks are probably the least likely to have had the Covid jab.  This could lead to a major slow down in tourism travel for Israel. It could also decrease the physical number of Holy Spirit filled people whose very presence in Israel restrains  the forces of evil in the heavenly realms along with the spirit of the Antichrist.

*****************************

Individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 in the last six months and wish to enter Israel under the government’s new tourism outline will not be allowed to unless they have a digital recovery certificate, government officials said on Thursday.

This means that US travelers, who do not have access to such documentation, will not be able to enter Israel. Only recovered patients from the around 40 countries who are participating in the European Union’s digital passport program will be recognized as recovered and meet the criteria for entry. 

This only applies to tourists who have not been vaccinated. A US tourist who had COVID but was also vaccinated with two shots - either before or after being sick - will be allowed into Israel, assuming that the second vaccine was given in the last six months. If longer, the tourist would need to receive a booster shot.

Majority of Christians Disagree With Jesus’ Exclusivity Claims

Pretty amazing and sad, yet not surprising.  This is just one more Last Days signs when all the folks sit in churches built for Jesus yet deny the truth of what he said.  They have a form of godliness (we look good in our church and we do good things!”) yet deny its power.  Jesus is the only power that can save us from hell. But yet you won’t hear that preached in over 70% of the churches in America. 

*****************************

A cornerstone of the Christian faith – and explicitly laid out in Scripture – is the belief that Jesus Christ is quite literally “the way, the truth, and the life,” and therefore He is the way to God in the afterlife. That naturally would mean being in God’s presence would depend on belief in Jesus yet according to a poll by Probe Ministries, 70% of Christians believe other religions can lead to heaven, too.

That belief may be well-meaning but it is deeply illogical, as Christian apologist Frank Turek has pointed out, because religions that claim they are true can’t all be true at the same time.

“What we have in our country among professed believers is, for one thing, a biblical illiteracy problem,” he tells American Family News. “The Bible is unequivocally clear: The one and only way to go to Heaven is through a personal relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ.

McFarland, who regularly speaks to teenage audiences, says the biblical disconnect is especially true among so-called Millennials. Citing the poll, he said 94% of them agree a relationship with Jesus is the best decision a person can make.

“But almost that same amount of Millennials,” he points out, “said it would be ‘wrong’ to try to persuade someone of a different religion out of that religion and into Christianity.”

Why is the Stage Set for The End Times?

 There are many Last Days signs that are converging all at the exact same time.  For the folks who would say, "But Dennis, it's always been like this for the past 2000 years!", I would say they are dead wrong.  We are the first generation EVER to have all the technology available to complete the prophecies the Bible said would happen.  In 6000 years of human history, the past 100 years have gone from riding horses to remote control vehicles on Mars.  It's unprecedented.  "And knowledge SHALL increase!"

As a student of bible prophecy for almost 30 years, and specifically end times bible prophecy, no other time has seemed as close to the end times as right now. Why do I say this? Because, particularly in the past year, the geopolitical and economic stage has been set for the fulfillment of several end times prophecies. 

We now have several potential crises on the horizon. And those potential crises are the same ones the Bible says we'll experience either in the Tribulation or the days immediately preceding the Tribulation. Below are just a few:

The Gog of Magog War

The Bible points to a future attack on Israel known as the Gog of Magog War (Ezekiel 38-39). It says a military alliance that includes Russia, Iran, Turkey, and a number of Muslim nations will attack Israel "in the latter days" (Ezekiel 38:8) when God brings His people home from among the enemy nations (Ezekiel 39:27). 

Today, we see those nations forming an alliance for the first time - an alliance that has never existed in world history. Russia, Iran, and Turkey all have an active military presence in Syria, meaning they're right on Israel's northern border at this moment. Why is this important? Because Ezekiel specifically says this alliance will attack Israel from the north (Ezekiel 38:15; Ezekiel 39:2). In addition, the ancient territory of Magog covers a number of modern day nations, one of which is Afghanistan. 

Up until recently, it was difficult to imagine U.S. occupied Afghanistan joining the Gog of Magog invasion. But now? With the Taliban back in control, it would be odd if they didn't join this invading alliance. The way nations are aligned today, the Gog of Magog invasion could take place tomorrow. All the pieces are in place. Even just a few years ago, that wasn't the case.

Global War Prospects

While "rumors of war" have been common since the end of World War II, the current situation is different. The world is in the midst of an energy crisis. Europe has seen natural gas prices surge in the past month. China and India are experiencing rolling blackouts of electrical service. Not only will this create problems in an already broken global supply chain, but these are the conditions which often give rise to war. And energy resource issues could provide the spark that ignites the next world war.

For example, China threatens to invade Taiwan on an almost daily basis. If China does invade, the United States claims it will defend Taiwan. If it occurs, such a conflict will devastate the world. Both China and the U.S. are nuclear powers, and both likely have high-tech space weapons, cyberwarfare capabilities, and innovative weapons never before seen on a battlefield. Such a conflict could easily erupt into World War III. Even if it doesn't, the global economy would collapse and the global supply chain would be irreparably broken if the two largest economic powers went to war.

The Convergence of Signs

So what are these signs? Jesus and the prophets pointed to dozens and dozens of signs. This article only cites a few, but each one is undeniable. Their convergence for the first time in history tells us the return of the Lord is close at hand. In addition to the events already mentioned, these signs include:

• Israel Back in the Land (Jeremiah 23:7-8; Ezekiel 39:28; Isaiah 11:12; Psalm 107:3; Ezekiel 20:34; Isaiah 11:11-12)

• The Jewish People in Control of Jerusalem (Luke 21:24-28)

• The Gospel Preached Throughout the World (Matthew 24:14)

• An Increase in Travel and Knowledge (Daniel 12:4)

• Arrival of the Exponential Curve (Matthew 24:3‐8)

• Israel Surrounded by Enemies (Psalm 83:4; Psalm 83:12; Ezekiel 11:14‐17; Ezekiel 35:10)

• Israel's Exceedingly Great Army (Ezekiel 37:10; Zechariah 12:6; Zechariah 12:8)

• The Rise of a United Europe (Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Revelation 17)

• The Rise of a Global Government (Revelation 13:7-17)

• The State of Mankind (2 Timothy 3:1-4)

• Denial of the Signs (2 Peter 3:3‐4)

Stay Awake

Jesus commanded us to watch for these signs (Matthew 24:42). He scolded the Pharisees and religious leaders when they failed to recognize the signs of His first coming (Matthew 16:3). Will He do any different for those who fail to recognize the signs of His second coming? Jesus warned us not to be caught sleeping when He returns (Mark 13:36). 

Now is the time to point out these signs to others and warn them the end is near. If you've been waiting to share the Gospel with someone, don't wait any longer. You may not have another opportunity. Jesus is coming. The signs are all around us.

NASA Hints at Aliens

Here we have another example of how the attack on Genesis has been so successful in convincing folks there is no Creator God/Jesus.  And once you believe that complex life on earth came from non-life when given the right conditions, you begin to believe that life spontaneously erupted in millions of other places in the galaxy with “the right conditions”.  And once you believe that, you next arrive at the idea that some life forms must have evolved a billion years before us and that THEY have the technology a billion years more advanced than ours and are capable of visiting earth.  Because they have rejected the Word of God they can’t understand that what they believe are “aliens” are really just the Satanic demons/fallen angels using advanced deception ploys prepping the world for the Great Tribulation.  

**********************************

“Before we leave, I haven’t even talked about the search for extraterrestrial life. What do you think we’re doing on Mars? We’re looking for life. This is a part of NASA’s mission. That’s what this telescope is gonna be looking for. Are there other planets elsewhere that there is life?” Nelson said near the end of a wide-ranging hourlong discussion with Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. “I know what you’ve seen is what those Navy pilots saw in 2004, and there have been some 300 sightings since then.”

Nelson said that “I’ve talked to those pilots, and they know they saw something, and their radars locked onto it, and then all of a sudden it was here," as he looked down, “on the surface and then it’s there," as he pointed up.

“And they don’t know what it is, and we don’t know what it is. We hope it’s not an adversary here on Earth that has that kind of technology. But it’s something. And so, this is a mission that we’re constantly looking — what, who is out there? Who are we? How did we get here? How did we become as we are? How did we develop? How did we civilize? And are those same conditions out there in a universe that has billions of other suns in billions of other galaxies — it’s so large I can’t conceive it,” he continued.

Fastest Inflationary Rise in Over 30 Years Hits USA

 Have you noticed how a tiny flat of blueberries is $5?  Have you noticed how there are lots of shelves empty at the grocery store?  Have you noticed that T-bone steaks at Walmart are now $28 per pound?  Have you noticed how a cheeseburger at McDonalds that used to be on the $1 menu is now $1.89?  Have you noticed how every single store, restaurant and business has HELP WANTED signs in front of them?

“Inflation has risen sharply in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and some emerging-market economies, but remains relatively low in many other advanced economies, particularly in Europe and Asia,” the report said. “G20 consumer price inflation is projected to moderate from 4½ per cent at the end of 2021 to around 3½ per cent by the end of 2022, remaining above the rates seen prior to the pandemic. Supply pressures should fade gradually, wage growth remains moderate and inflation expectations are still anchored, but near-term risks are on the upside.”

Those inflation figures can become political because the federal government helps offset debt spending by printing more money, leading to ongoing inflation.

The rising costs of goods have become thorn in the side of many Democrats, though the Biden administration has said the inflation will be “transitory.”

U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., has cited concerns over inflation as a key reason for his refusal to support the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill pushed by the White House.

“Now Democratic congressional leaders propose to pass the largest single spending bill in history with no regard to rising inflation, crippling debt or the inevitability of future crises,” Manchin said in a September opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal.

“Instead of rushing to spend trillions on new government programs and additional stimulus funding, Congress should hit a strategic pause on the budget-reconciliation legislation,” he added. “A pause is warranted because it will provide more clarity on the trajectory of the pandemic, and it will allow us to determine whether inflation is transitory or not.”

Thankfully it appears that voters are blaming the Democrats for this current mess.  We are convinced that the party on the Left who support BLM, Critical Race Theory, abortion on demand, national incomes, transgender health secretaries, vaccine passports, free college, free health insurance and LGBTIQIA nonsense, are quite literally on the way to destroying America.  Just maybe there will be enough voter integrity in 2022 to have a massive wave of Democrats thrown out.

However, please remember that America is sick.  Both parties have plenty of blame as to how we got here.  The Bible doesn't mention America anywhere and maybe it's because we implode on ourselves because of the godlessness that has swept over us in the last generation?  Or maybe the final straw gets pulled out when Jesus comes and removes all Holy Spirit filled Americans from the planet?  This would seal the fate of America faster than the twinkling of an eye.
