I have put the section, Erosion of Democracy, into the archive section for now. It is not dated, but I am wrestling with my rewrite. It is a nuanced argument, and I am not the best writer. In the end, I will probably end up simplifying it, and then go into depth on different aspects … Continue reading “Erosion of Democracy and the Rise of the Beast”
More smoke circling Italy’s government finances
On a number of occasions, we have referred to allegations that the Italian government used derivatives to allow it to meet the requirements for joining the Euro zone in the 1999. Given recent market reports of large unrealized losses on derivative contracts held by the Italian government, it was announced that there would be a … Continue reading “More smoke circling Italy’s government finances”
The growing Christian minority and the coming persecution
The Supreme Court ruling establishing the legality of marriage between homosexual couples may prove to be a powerful force in causing Christians to become a small minority of the US (and Europe as well as countries there move to legalize gay marriage). The Bible has clearly stated its teaching that homosexual acts are abhorrent to God. Given … Continue reading “The growing Christian minority and the coming persecution”
September may be an interesting month
My apologies for such a long absence. I had written some entries but in the end did not post. The main themes discussed here are ongoing developments, and as such, have their own ebb and flow. We have highlighted the dangerous found in the ‘Immigration Reform’ bill that was passed by the Senate, and is … Continue reading “September may be an interesting month”
German Elections
German national elections will be held later this month. Previously we highlighted the birth of a new political party in Germany, the Alternative for Germany party. Their central platform is Germany should leave the Euro bloc. Though the media and mainstream parties are ignoring AfD, hoping that they will just disappear, their election results may … Continue reading “German Elections”
Extreme Medicine
In the past, I have referred to the monetary stimulus programs of the Federal Reserve as heroine. The Federal Reserve has not done anything to make the US economy healthier, but rather has made the economy seem better — similar to giving heroine to a junky. The heroine makes the junky feel better, but the … Continue reading “Extreme Medicine”
Children of the Beast
I have often referred to the children of the Beast. Who am I referring to with this phrase? When the Beast, the Anti-Christ, rises to power, he will not do so as a lone agent. Prophecy interpretation is that he will gain dominion over a reconstituted Roman Empire, controlling 10 nations. Given that the former … Continue reading “Children of the Beast”
Catalan Independence
CNN and other major US news outlets continue to ignore massive demonstrations in Catalan, as they seek independence from Spain. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24052713) Perhaps it is time for Believers to start a similar movement in Texas or other states. While it may seem to be a Quixotic endeavor, it would give a chance for Believers to band together … Continue reading “Catalan Independence”
Income distribution disparity and Bubbles
There was a recent study that highlights the ongoing disparity of income distribution between the top 1% vs. the other 99%. (http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/09/10/the-rich-get-richer-through-the-recovery/?_r=0). The policies that have driven this polarization of the economy remain in place — mega-monetary stimulus by the Federal Reserve, similarly unprecedented deficit spending by state and federal government, and wage pressure on … Continue reading “Income distribution disparity and Bubbles”
Economic Policies of the End of Days
I will soon rewrite the piece with the same name to highlight more recent events. The Immigration Reform bill will further aggravate the pressure on the working class in America, as job exportation and illegal immigration has resulted in the lowest worker participation rate in history. Bernanke (and soon to be Yellen) have printed massive … Continue reading “Economic Policies of the End of Days”
