It is hard to believe Government statistics these days, there is so much spin and discounting certain groups or redefining definitions of economics.

Why do we not count food & groceries, gas & oil, and energy from our inflation numbers?

Why do we not count individuals that have stopped looking for jobs from our unemployment numbers?

Why do we not count any of our promised benefits of Social Security, Medicare, and pensions in our national debt?

Why do we not know the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve, a private, yes private bank we have given the right to print money for us and charge us interest?

Do we know what our national debt really is?  Keep reading…

US Government ‘hiding true amount of debt’

THE actual figure of the US’ national debt is much higher than the official sum of $US13.4 trillion ($14.3 trillion) given by the Congressional Budget Office, according to analysts cited on Sunday by the New York Post.

“The Government is lying about the amount of debt. It is engaging in Enron accounting,” said Laurence Kotlikoff, an economist at Boston University and co-author of The Coming Generational Storm: What You Need to Know about America’s Economic Future.

“The problem is we’re seeing an explosion in spending,” added Andrew Moylan, director of government affairs for the National Taxpayers Union.

Here we go folks, the trigger hasn’t been pulled but the Fed said they would and are looking to at the appropriate time.  Gold shot up as soon as it was announced, which means the market believes they will use “quantitative easing”.  Printing money to buy debt.  The US dollar also declined on the news.  You must remain watchful, for as soon as they pull the trigger, know inflation, maybe hyperinflation is on the way.

Fed Signals It May Take Further Steps to Boost Economy

The Federal Reserve on Tuesday inched closer to fresh steps to bolster a sluggish U.S. recovery, saying it stood ready to provide more support for the economy and expressing concerns about low inflation.

The U.S. central bank’s policy-setting panel made no shift in monetary policy at the end of a one-day meeting, keeping overnight interest rates near zero, but it opened the door wider to pumping more money into the economy.

“The committee will continue to monitor the economic outlook and financial developments and is prepared to provide additional accommodation if needed to support the economic recovery and to return inflation, over time, to levels consistent with its mandate,” the Fed said in a statement.

After its meeting on August 10, the Fed had simply said it would “employ its policy tools as necessary.” The Fed underscored its concerns over slowing inflation in its statement on Tuesday, saying the underlying rate of inflation was below levels consistent with its mandate for price stability and full employment.

The alliance is solidifying between Turkey and Iran as well as the other Ezekiel 38 and Psalm 83 Alliances.  Both are different prophecies have different member of their alliances but both are solidifying.  As represented by the article below, Turkey is even becoming a strong advocate for Iran’s right to nuclear capabilities.

‘We cannot accuse Iran of pursuing nukes without evidence’

Turkish president speaks of wanting Mideast free of atomic weapons, relations with Israel after flotilla raid, and canceled meeting with Peres in New York.

UNITED NATIONS — Turkish President Abdullah Gul will call for a Middle East totally free of nuclear weapons when he addresses the UN General Assembly later this week, he told the Associated Press in an interview on Monday.

“We would like to see our region free of nuclear weapons,” Gul said in the interview. “The region should not be under such a threat.”

More global governance talk and a few interesting bullet points.  As we hurl toward global governance, ask yourself, are these the people or the principles we want, and how would they represent us?

* Progress on meeting U.N. poverty goals by 2015 uneven

So we are not on target to meet the U.N. poverty goals by 2015, have they heard there is a global recession?  Don’t we all have to feel the pain together?

* France, Spain, Greece urge tax to raise poverty funding

Another tax, during a recession, to help fight poverty, which is good, but maybe not the primary focus?

* Bhutan proposes making happiness a development goal

Ah, “happiness” as a development goal, not the “pursuit of happiness” but happiness as an end state.

Global Governance, taking more from you, to make others happy!

* Progress on meeting U.N. poverty goals by 2015 uneven

By Lesley Wroughton and Helen Popper

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 20 (Reuters) – U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon pressed debt-ridden donor countries on Monday not to cut aid to the poor despite their budgetary woes.

“We should not balance budgets on the backs of the poor,” Ban told 140 leaders at the start of a three-day summit to review progress in meeting U.N. poverty goals by 2015.

More details on the global financial tax to help cut extreme poverty.

The money raise would go to pay for the UN Millennium Development Goals, ah those MDG’s.

Europe leaders urge bank tax to battle poverty

European leaders stepped up demands for a global financial tax on Monday as they faced mounting calls for money to pay for the Millennium Goals battle to cut extreme poverty.

President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Spain’s Prime Minister Jose Luis Zapatero said they would press for the new tax at international summits.

The world’s wealthy countries face growing pressure at the three day Millennium Development Goals (MDG) summit to contribute more to the drive to eradicate poverty and improve child and maternal health.

African nations in particular are calling for more action and the West can expect little sympathy when the likes of Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speak on Tuesday.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the struggling effort to reach eight key development goals by 2015 could still be met if world leaders provide the necessary money and political will.

More concern and fear on food shortages and rising prices.  The impacts of devastated Russian crops will be felt world-wide.

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

Russian crop misery spreads to world’s supermarkets

The hulking green combine tractor clatters across a wheat field at the sprawling Maslovka farm, a typical autumn scene in Russia’s agricultural heartland.

This year however, the machine is not harvesting wheat but ploughing dead crops back into the cracked, sun-scorched earth, a symbol of a land hit by an unprecedented summer drought and savage forest fires.

“These are scary times,” says Karpa Osipova, 84, who lives on Lenin Street, a few blocks from the Maslovka farm.

“The prices of crops are slowly rising, and my pension isn’t big enough,” says Osipova. “I don’t even know how I am going to be able to afford bread.”

The situation on Maslovka farm will affect not just whether Osipova gets her daily loaf of bread, but may also have a far-reaching impact on global bread supplies and food prices.

More rumors of war and tension surrounding the middle east, Iran and the US.  It is interesting that the Iranian General used very similar statements.

Major General Gholamali Rashid said that under “current threatening conditions” when the US and Israel are “daily beating on their war drums,” it would not be an exaggeration to say that we are on the verge of a potential war in the [near] future.”

Iran on verge of potential US-led war

Speaking at the fifth conference on the study of Iran’s ‘sacred defense’ files, Deputy Commander of Iran’s Armed Forces of the Islamic Revolution’s Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Gholamali Rashid said that under “current threatening conditions” when the US and Israel are “daily beating on their war drums,” it would not be an exaggeration to say that we are on the verge of a potential war in the [near] future.”

Gen. Rashid’s remarks came following his description of threats made by the US and Israel against countries of the region after the “suspicious September 11 incident.”

President Ahmedinejad Threatens U.S. With War ‘Without Boundaries’

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad warned the Obama administration today that if Iran’s nuclear facilities are attacked, the U.S. will face a war that “would know no boundaries.”

The Iranian president, who is in New York for the annual meetings of the United Nations General Assembly, spoke at a breakfast meeting with reporters and editors at Manhattan’s Warwick Hotel.

He said that Iran is on the brink of becoming a nuclear power, and warned Israel and the U.S. against attacking its nuclear facilities.

Asked about the possibility of a U.S.-supported Israeli air strike against Iran, the fiery Iranian leader said an attack would be considered an act of war, and suggested the U.S. is unprepared for the consequences. Such a war “would know no boundaries,” Ahmedinejad said. “War is not just bombs.”

Do we fire up the printing press for another…gulp…1-2 trillion dollars?

Fed Mulls Trillion-Dollar Policy Question

How much of a boost to the U.S. recovery could another trillion dollars or two buy?

United States Federal Reserve. Leaders at the Fed meet Tuesday to analyze the benefits of increasing the money supply.

That’s a tricky question for the Federal Reserve when it meets Tuesday to debate what would warrant pumping more money into the financial system.

To battle the financial crisis, the Fed bought $1.7 trillion of longer-term Treasury and mortgage-related bonds, supplementing its pledge to keep interest rates near zero for a long time.

All told, it helped stabilize a collapsing financial system and to avert what could have been a second Great Depression.

Now, faced with a 9.6 percent jobless rate and below-target inflation, Fed policymakers are trying to gauge how much they could achieve if they resume massive quantitative easing.

Few analysts expect the Fed to launch a new round of bond buying this week, and uncertainty over the impact of fresh moves may be a factor keeping the central bank on the sidelines.

“I think part of the hesitancy of the committee to use quantitative easing a second time around relates to views of its effectiveness,” said Vince Reinhart, a former Fed staffer.

Here is an article about the US that toward the end makes mention that Spain is forcing private retirement accounts to purchase government debt.

“And that is if the government itself does not confiscate pensions and retirement savings and demand that they be put into soon-to-be-worthless government debt. Far fetched? Spain’s secretary of state for social security, Octavio Granada, was recently quoted as saying that by the end of 2010 some 90% of all Spanish pension savings will be “invested” in domestic government debt. Spain isn’t some 3rd world banana republic and they are already moving strongly in this direction. With trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, where else can the US Government hope to get the money to fund all their debt?”

As he stated, Spain is not a third world country, this was also done in Argentina but that was written off as being a developing nation struggling with hyperinflation.  Spain is like us, just smaller and a few steps ahead.

There are a lot of other good points in this article, I just wanted to bring your attention to what Spain has done, based on what I posted earlier.

A Generational Perfect Storm – Boomerang Kids Meet the Homeless Baby Boomers

When times are good, or at least relatively good, unsustainable trends can appear sustainable. The now-aging baby boomers who had a lot of their wealth tied up in their home and the stock market were feeling great. They had just come off of a 20 year super-bull market in equities and up until 2007 they were seeing the value of their home increase by leaps and bounds every year.

Sure, their kids were scraping by on credit card and student loan debt. But there were jobs to be found and even if they couldn’t scrape by they could always count on some help, and even housing, from Mom and Pop.

A good article from Israel Watch, a weekly commentary by Jim Fletcher.

This week his commentary addresses the churches stance on Israel.

Unfortunately, we are not all on the same path or with one voice for Israel…

A Side Issue

Increasingly, I feel ill winds blowing for Israel. On all fronts, the Jewish state is threatened, and most of them we expect. The PLO, foreign diplomats, various terrorist groups worldwide, dictators like Hugo Chavez…these are the obvious villains. They deserve the label.

Yet the threat that bothers me most is the one from the Church. The subject itself is controversial, and even diabolical in that many of those who “oppose Joshua” today would deny that they do!

This is Brilliant!

How much more efficient would this be than our current system?

If we send the government our entire paycheck each week and then they tell us how much of it we can have.

Oh, can’t wait till this comes across the pond!

Seriously, how much more primed to we need to be for total government control of our lives?

Answer, not much if this passes…

British Government to Seize All Paychecks

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Infowars.com
September 20, 2010

undefined

Forget big government – the same elite whose policies caused the financial collapse are now ready to launch the next phase of their fascist takeover of the economy – by forcing businesses to send employee paychecks straight to the government, who would then deduct the “appropriate tax” before the employee receives their wage, as the statist cancer of collectivism grows.

The proposal represents another hammer blow to financial privacy, as the establishment moves towards a total cashless society where every transaction is tracked, traced and controlled by the authorities.

“The UK’s tax collection agency is putting forth a proposal that all employers send employee paychecks to the government, after which the government would deduct what it deems as the appropriate tax and the pay the employee’s by bank transfer,” reports CNBC.

The system would be run by the same organization, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), that has become notorious for its botched handling of data and incorrect tax calculations which have forced people to spend months and even years trying to claim back unfairly claimed money seized by the taxman.

But this story is about far more than the threat of mere bureaucracy or bumbling incompetence – this is about the (more…)

We have progressed to the point that they are not even trying to hide it any more.  My favorite line is:

The international nature of these global goals leaves individual nations struggling for effective solutions that transcend their borders. That’s where “global governance” comes in.

I love that, “That’s where ‘global governance’ come in.”  Woo Hoo!

They continue:

It works to create international structures capable of dealing with issues of global significance, and the closer the MDGs come to their deadline of 2015 the clearer multinational cooperation becomes.

Ah those MDGs, the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.

There you have it.  If you want an even more in-depth look at the UN’s plans and hurdles, check out the link below to a post I made earlier.  Must See: Global Governance:  Here is the playbook…

_________________________________________________________________

Millennium Goals pose test to global governance structures

After the UN set ambitious goals for improving the lives of millions of people, global governance has come to the fore. When addressing issues of worldwide significance many nations need to be at the table, experts say.

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) include pledges to wipe out extreme poverty, achieve universal primary education, promote gender equality, reduce rates of child mortality, fight epidemic diseases, and develop a global partnership for development.

The international nature of these global goals leaves individual nations struggling for effective solutions that transcend their borders. That’s where “global governance” comes in. It works to create international structures capable of dealing with issues of global significance, and the closer the MDGs come to their deadline of 2015 the clearer multinational cooperation becomes.

States’ changing role

“The old idea was that nation states need to be as independent as possible to be responsible to their own population,” said Dirk Messner, director of the German Development Institute. “It’s now become clear that we are dealing with global interdependencies and that we have to politically organize them.”

So a surprise to whom is my only question?

Wall Street’s Engines of Profit Are Freezing Up

Inside the great investment houses on Wall Street, business has taken a surprising turn — downward.

Even after taxpayer bailouts restored bankers’ profits and pay, the great Wall Street money machine is decelerating. Big financial institutions, including commercial banks, are still making a lot of money. But given unease in the financial markets and the economy, brokerages and investment banks are not making nearly as much as their executives, employees and investors had hoped.

After an unusually sharp slowdown in trading this summer, analysts are rethinking their profit forecasts for 2010.

The activities at the heart of what Wall Street does — selling and trading stocks and bonds, and advising on mergers — are running at levels well below where they were at this point last year, said Meredith Whitney, a bank analyst who was among the first to warn of the subprime mortgage disaster and its impact on big banks.

Worldwide, the number of stock offerings is down 15 percent from this time last year, while bond issuance is off 25 percent, according to Capital IQ, a research firm. Based on these trends, Ms. Whitney predicts that annual revenue from Wall Street’s main businesses will drop 25 percent, to around $42 billion in 2010, from $56 billion last year.

We really have no idea what the Israelis have to deal with.

Can you imagine someone getting the death penalty for selling you land?

No wonder tensions are so high…

PA affirms death penalty for land sales to Israelis

The PA says the land law is necessary to prevent the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Authority on Sunday reaffirmed the death penalty for any Palestinian found guilty of selling land to Israelis.

The decision came in response to a ruling by a Palestinian court according to which such acts were only a “minor offense.”

PA Prosecutor-General Ahmed al-Mughni appealed against the ruling to a higher court, arguing that the sale of land to Israelis was a “major offense” punishable by death.

The appeal was accepted.

Global ‘internet treaty’ proposed

Deal would enshrine in law the founding principles of open standards and net neutrality, and protect the web from political interference.

The proposal was presented at the Internet Governance Forum in Lithuania last week, and outlined 12 “principles of internet governance”, including a commitment from countries to sustain the technological foundations that underpin the web’s infrastructure.

The draft law has been likened to the Space Treaty, signed in 1967, which stated that space exploration should be carried out for the benefit of all nations, and guaranteed “free access to all areas of celestial bodies”.

Under the proposed terms of the law, there would be cross-border co-operation between countries to identify and address security vulnerability and protect the network from possible cyber attacks or cyber terrorism.

It would also uphold rights to freedom of expression and association, and the principle of net neutrality, in which all internet traffic is treated equally across the network.

“The fundamental functions and the core principles of the internet must be preserved in all layers of the internet architecture with a view to guaranteeing the interoperability of networks in terms of infrastructures, services and contents,” reads the proposal.

“The end-to-end principle should be protected globally.”

Bangladesh: 585 people contracted anthrax since August

Bangladesh’s government says anthrax has spread in the country, with some 585 people contracting the disease since late August. The government’s Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research released the figures Monday, reporting cases of anthrax in 12 of the country’s 64 districts.

So far, none of the victims have died and none are seriously ill.

While anthrax is not new to Bangladesh, there’s no record of it spreading so widely. The institute said that initially, 38 villagers were sickened by the bacterial disease in northern Sirajganj district after infected cows were slaughtered. Humans typically get anthrax from touching infected animals or animal products. Human infections are potentially fatal. (AP)

Part of the reason, Israel is being so stubborn on the settlement freeze, is the fact that the Palestinians will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

This is getting little press, as God predicted it would, all the pressure would be on Israel.  This article has an interesting twist based on the refusal to recognize Israel.

It seems like a very reasonable, logical step to discuss.  How will the media frame the issue?

Lieberman: Peace talks must reassess Israeli-Arabs’ right to citizenship

With the Palestinians refusing to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, negotiations must tackle issue of Israeli-Arab ‘loyalty’, foreign minister says – prompting accusations of ‘apartheid and ethnic cleansing’ from Arab MK.

The question of Israeli citizenship must play a central role in Middle East peace talks, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Sunday, suggesting that “disloyal” Arab-Israelis should take Palestinian citizenship.

“The question of Israel’s citizens needs to be one of the central issues on the negotiating table, in light of the Palestinian refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state,” Lieberman said ahead of Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.

Recognizing Israel as uniquely Jewish is one of the key demands by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the latest peace talks with the Palestinians, which began earlier this month.

Mideast officials fly to US as talks crisis looms

Top Israeli and Palestinian officials on Sunday headed for the United States where they were expected to seek ways to break a deadlock over settlements which is threatening to sabotage peace talks.

Israeli President Shimon Peres left shortly after midnight on a four-day visit to coincide with the UN General Assembly meeting in New York, and a few hours later Defence Minister Ehud Barak set off for talks in Washington.

Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, currently in Amman, was also to fly to New York on Sunday evening for the annual sitting, with efforts under way to arrange a meeting with US President Barack Obama, a senior Palestinian official told AFP.

“There are also preparations for a meeting between (Israeli premier Benjamin) Netanyahu, Obama and Abbas,” he said. “There is an expectation that they will meet.”

Netanyahu’s office said he had no plans to fly to the United States this week, and would not say whether he would meet Abbas before the settlements freeze expires later this month.

Barak: US will supply Israel with bunker busters

Defense minister to meet with top US security officials in DC; Jerusalem believes Washington will agree to supply Israel with advanced cruise missiles, bombs designed to penetrate underground facilities

Defense Minister Ehud Barak is visiting Washington once again ahead of planned meetings with top security officials in the American administration.

Barak is expected to meet several top ranking officials Monday in order to secure new and advanced weaponry for Israel, especially in view of the latest arms deals in the Middle East.

The recent Russian ballistic missile sale to Syria and the arms deal between the US and Saudi Arabia, have Israel seeking to widen the technological gap in warfare between the IDF and Arab militaries.

Jerusalem is optimistic and believes Washington will agree to meet previously declined demands for advanced weaponry, such as “bunker busters” – bombs which are designed to penetrate hardened undergound targets – such as bunkers, as implied by their name – as well as advanced cruise missiles.

The other half of Rapture Ready’s Nearing Midnight series this week.  Very good!

_________________________________________________________________

Promise of His Coming

A biblically prophetic reality that perfectly fits our present day, and that has been looked at a number of times, is the forewarning given by the apostle Peter especially to the generation alive at the end of the Church Age:

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming?” for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. (2 Pet 3:3-4)

Almost in every case of looking at this prophecy, the point has been exclusively dwelt upon that both the religious and non-religious of the world mockingly chide those of us who believe Jesus Christ will return to planet Earth. This is a prophecy that has observably come to pass in our time.

However, it is the phrase “promise of his coming” I would like to consider here, rather than the chiding sarcasm of the mockers.
