Very interesting, and good points.  With 600 million users and our propensity toward using what is easiest, this could be a vehicle or at least help forge the way for a universal currency.

I like the line about “to the bunkers!”

Good Article…

Gold Bugs Take Note: Facebook Credits Now “Universal Currency”

Is Facebook about to put a toll booth on the social media superhighway?  As we discussed in a profile of Mark Zuckerberg earlier this year, Facebook’s Next Big Thing is Credits, which started its rollout today. An online payment system not unlike PayPal, the company says the plain-sounding-but-ominous-in-a-sci-fi-way Credits will streamline commerce on Facebook (games first), and, with Zuckerberg and Co. taking a 30% cut of every transaction, perhaps fatten the bottom line one day.

Forex traders and global conspiracy theorists take note: with close to 600 million people using the system, we could be watching a Dollar rival spring to life. To the bunkers!

Facebook is announcing the next phase in its roll-out of its virtual currency Facebook Credits, which is leaving beta testing today. That means all Facebook game developers will be able to start using Credits as their payment system for virtual goods — in fact, Facebook is requiring them to make the switch by July.

The company planned to make the announcement at noon Pacific today, but it’s releasing the news a little early after TechCrunch got the scoop from an unidentified source and predicted that decision would “ruffle some feathers”. That’s probably true, though the transition is already well underway. In the past year, Facebook held occasionally tense negotiations with the biggest social game developers like Zynga to bring them on-board with the program.

Facebook confirms plans to make Credits the mandatory “universal currency” | VentureBeat.

Most of us think of the Amazon river and think of lush tropical river basin.

But have you seen pictures recently?

Check out what it looks like today.

Prophecy coming true?

“Alarming” Amazon Drought—River Hits New Low

This gallery is part of a special National Geographic News series on global water issues.

Hard-hit by a months-long drought, a waterway within the Amazon Basin trickles to a halt in Manaus, Brazil (see map), on November 19.

The Negro River, a major tributary of the Amazon River, dropped to a depth of about 46 feet (14 meters)—the lowest point since record-keeping began in 1902.

(Related: “Amazon Losing ‘Flying Rivers,’ Ability to Curb Warming.”)

About 60,000 people in the Amazon have gone hungry as falling river levels paralyzed transport and fishing. Millions of dead fish have also contaminated rivers, leading to a shortage of clean drinking water, the Reuters news agency reported. (How much do you know about drinking water? Test your knowledge with a quiz.)

Caused by El Niño—a cyclical warming of tropical waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean—such a severe drought usually occurs once in a century. But the 2010 disaster comes just five years after the latest Amazon “megadrought,” according to Reuters.

The drought also fits within predictions of climatic extremes this century due to global warming, Reuters reported. (Explore an interactive map of global warming’s effects.)

We have painted ourselves into a corner as a country.  It is going to be a painful year I am afraid, we must make sure we have food for our family.  Take the steps needed to put back food for your family so we can continue to stay focused on helping others instead of freaking out about how we are going to feed our own… God has warned us this would be the case during the last days so we could prepare and know what is to come.

Revelation 6:6 (NIV) – Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

Obama Eyeing Internet ID for Americans

(Credit: istockphoto.com)

STANFORD, Calif. – President Obama is planning to hand the U.S. Commerce Department authority over a forthcoming cybersecurity effort to create an Internet ID for Americans, a White House official said here today.

It’s “the absolute perfect spot in the U.S. government” to centralize efforts toward creating an “identity ecosystem” for the Internet, White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt said.

That news, first reported by CNET, effectively pushes the department to the forefront of the issue, beating out other potential candidates including the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. The move also is likely to please privacy and civil liberties groups that have raised concerns in the past over the dual roles of police and intelligence agencies.

Amazing description and walk through of where we are today, how we got there, and what lies ahead.  There is a reason the US is not mentioned in end times prophecy.

This is a must read to understand the true state our economy is in and how we are being deceived by our media and government…

Presto! 9.4% Unemployment! How The Government Lies.

Hooray…Happy days are here again!

That is exactly what the elite would have us believe with the 9.4% unemployment number in this huge CONfidence game otherwise known as the USEconomy.

“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act” -George Orwell

We were having dinner at my in-law’s house and I had overheard the TV playing in the back ground.  At one point, I thought I had heard the squealing of teenagers who were fawning over Justin Beiber.   Instead, it turned out that it was someone on the news reporting the new,  much lower 9.4% unemployment rate.  I could hear the panting of excitement spoken by the breathless reporters who were interviewing very serious economists about this new 9.4% rate.  The news aired their personal interest piece about a girl who was just hired at an internet company. She commented with the utmost confidence that the economy was getting better!!   You have all heard that saying, “it is a recession when your neighbor loses a job, but when you lose a job it is a depression.” Well, according to her, we are out of her depression.

But alas, this is all a dream and the media is using their very best, tried and true propaganda to keep the people from getting too upset with reality.  Let me just state that the real rate of unemployment is much, much more than the 9.4% and if the government really reported what was really going on, there would be revolution in the morning.  Allow me to destroy this fictional 9.4% number and the billion dollar propaganda machine that provides cover for the trillion dollar banking and government schemes.   I will accomplish this magical feat with writing a blog post in my pajamas.  That is real magic!

This is the second thread to watch along with the petrodollar system unraveling.   Prophecy has foretold that during the last days, when the Antichrist rises, there will be one world government, which he will assume control of.  One of the key hurdles that still remains is the US as a sole superpower.  We are seeing that break down now, and the collapse of the US dollar will be a major part.  Are you ready for Inflation, Hyper-inflation, and a collapse?

S&P, Moody’s Warn On U.S. Credit Rating

With attention focused on sovereign-debt worries in Europe, two major credit-rating firms reminded investors again that the U.S. has debt problems of its own.

[RATINGS]

Investors bought Treasury debt nonetheless, ignoring the comments, which echoed prior statements by the companies and may still be months or years away from having any practical meaning.

“The warning on the U.S. rating is well-founded,” said Brian Yelvington, chief fixed-income strategist at Knight Capital. “However, it will probably fall on deaf ears until the peripheral Europe story plays out.”

Moody’s Investors Service said in a report on Thursday that the U.S. will need to reverse the expansion of its debt if it hopes to keep its “Aaa” rating.

“We have become increasingly clear about the fact that if there are not offsetting measures to reverse the deterioration in negative fundamentals in the U.S., the likelihood of a negative outlook over the next two years will increase,” Sarah Carlson, senior analyst at Moody’s, said.

Jesus prophesied that there would be a great falling away.  On the surface, most would say that the prophecy was not being fulfilled, but scratch the surface that you can see how the church is rotting from the inside.  Satan has been very clever to infiltrate the church and slowly erode the beliefs and influence.  Oh how we have drifted, we must turn back to Christ and the foundation that he formed the church on at Pentecost, when the holy spirit descended upon those gathered.  The rock, Jesus Christ.  Time is drawing short…

Six Megathemes Emerge from Barna Group Research in 2010

Change usually happens slowly in the Church. But a review of the past year’s research conducted by the Barna Group provides a time-lapse portrayal of how the religious environment in the U.S. is morphing into something new.

Analyzing insights drawn from more than 5,000 non-proprietary interviews conducted over the past 11 months, George Barna indicated that the following patterns were evident in the survey findings.

1. The Christian Church is becoming less theologically literate.
What used to be basic, universally-known truths about Christianity are now unknown mysteries to a large and growing share of Americans–especially young adults. For instance, Barna Group studies in 2010 showed that while most people regard Easter as a religious holiday, only a minority of adults associate Easter with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Other examples include the finding that few adults believe that their faith is meant to be the focal point of their life or to be integrated into every aspect of their existence. Further, a growing majority believe the Holy Spirit is a symbol of God’s presence or power, but not a living entity. As the two younger generations (Busters and Mosaics) ascend to numerical and positional supremacy in churches across the nation, the data suggest that biblical literacy is likely to decline significantly. The theological free-for-all that is encroaching in Protestant churches nationwide suggests the coming decade will be a time of unparalleled theological diversity and inconsistency.

This is a great summary of what we are looking at in the near future (next year or two).  The first domino has dropped when Russia and China agreed last month to trade oil in their own currencies.  We are beginning to see it unwind…

Uhh, I think some thing big (and bad) happened in September 2008.

We changed course.  Was that the change you hoped for?

That is an awful lot of printing…

Great summary of the year and the prophetic events we have seen and experienced.  Thanks Todd from Rapture Ready for the great recap.

Year in Review

The year 2010 is rapidly coming to a close. Since this will be the last “Nearing Midnight” article for the year, I thought I’d review what has occurred over the last twelve months, and how these events have impacted Bible prophecy.

The most significant event of the year is the number of natural disasters. The year 2010 was the deadliest in more than a generation. Earthquakes, heat waves, floods, volcanoes, super typhoons, blizzards, landslides and droughts killed more than 260,000 people. Last year only saw 15,000 deaths from natural disasters.

“It just seemed like it was back-to-back and it came in waves,” said Craig Fugate, who heads the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency. It handled a record number of disasters in 2010. “The term ‘100-year event’ really lost its meaning this year.”

THE RAPTURE

Great article on we believe in Christ’s promise of the rapture.  It is my blessed hope, like Paul’s before and Grand does a good job laying out the case…

THE RAPTURE

By Grant Phillips


I have believed in the rapture of the Church since I was just a child, and still do. I realize that some Christians do not believe that this is an actual event, and that is okay. We are still brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ.

Maybe one huge reason that others do not believe in the Rapture is because it is such an unusual, one-of-a-kind event. The very thought of millions of people rising from the graves and those alive vanishing in thin air, all in the blink of an eye, is just too awesome to be real. Nothing of this magnitude has ever happened, or ever could, say some. Is that really true? I don’t think it is. Consider the following: (more…)

Obama calls about Vick but won’t call fallen solider’s family

Posted by therightscoop on Dec 31, 2010

I was going to make this a headline but it upset so much that I wanted to make sure you saw it too. Apparently Michael Vick is worth a phone call from Obama, but a fallen solider’s family is not (h/t Weasel Zippers):
