'Tit for Tat' Escalation Continues! Where does this LEAD? Ben Bernanke gets Noble!

Vladimir Zelenskyy says he needs more weapons and he wants to 'cap' the oil price on Russian crude. Biden says he will continue to back Zelenskyy's war (indefinitely). Europe and NATO say similar. Where does this 'tit' for 'tat' escalation lead? It leads to a nuclear war at some point down the road. Putin now wants to bomb infrastructure and energy sources (throughout Ukraine) to counter the loss of land (territory) along the annexed border.

There is no end to this war over in the Ukraine. The leaders do not desire to compromise or even start a negotiation process. More killing and bombing is the status quo. Can any of this lead to progress for the people of Ukraine, Europe, or Russia? My sense is absolutely NOT. The mindset of our political leaders is our problem. We need NEW political leaders who seek compromise and peace!

It now appears that Russia will attempt to take out the DECISION CENTER of Ukraine (at some point) and this could lead to a counter action from NATO and the USA. Mr. Dmitry Medvedev, who serves on the Security Council of Russia, is now saying that Zelenskyy must go (be removed from power). He thinks that this is a must if Russia is to make any progress on their goals going forward. My sense is that this could happen prior to the end of 2022.

Many leaders within Ukraine are saying that Putin must go (be removed from power). So the battle is now removing key leaders from power. This could happen soon! Will Putin and his gang prevail first or will Zelenskyy's gang prevail first? It appears that neither side can work to negotiate a settlement...so this must eventually lead to some major decision to REMOVE either Putin and/or Zelenskyy from power.

The other possibility is the removable of Biden from his power position. This is a possibility if the mid-term elections produce majorities in the HOUSE and SENATE for the republicans. Biden could then be impeached and removed from power. We could witness all these possibilities happening between now and the end of 2022. It appears that nothing positive can happen under the current political regimes.

Now let's talk about the Central Bank situation. Mr. Ben Bernanke has been given a Noble prize in economics for his role with our Central Bank (the Fed). His QE policies saved the economy (so says WSJ) and this has led to his Noble prize in economics. The Central Bank of Sweden produces the funds for this PRIZE in economics. Did Ben Bernanke do anything positive for our global economy which deserves a Noble Prize in economics?

My sense is that it was Ben Bernanke who counterfeited our dollar in the trillions (from 2008 - 2012) so as to prevent a major financial collapse/correction. This counterfeiting was called QE. Is this behavior worthy of a Noble Prize? Given that the money for this prize comes from the Riksbank in Stockholm, Sweden, I am not surprised at this gift for Mr. Ben Bernanke. Ben was the biggest counterfeiter in all economic history! Sweden also participated in this counterfeiting (called QE).

The balance sheet of the FED increased some $4 trillion during Ben's term at the FED. All this money creation (out of nothing/the click of a computer key) prevented our markets from correcting in normal fashion. Yes, it was Ben Bernanke who is now given millions more in prize money for helping the WEALTHY maintain their control over our economy. Is this diabolical or what?

As I write our financial house of cards (created by our Central Banks) is starting to correct so that a RECESSION happens by the end of 2022. Later in 2023, we could experience a major ECONOMIC depression (if my scenario develops). All this is happening due to our Central Bank policymakers and their various decisions. The current high interest rates (to quell inflation) are the real-time issue today. All this was the result of Ben Bernanke's prior (original) decision to flood our markets with new dollar digits (called QE). Most of the Central Banks (on our planet) followed the lead of Ben and our FED!

The coming financial consequences which will happen later this year and next are primarily the result of Central Bankers who have DISTORTED our markets to protect the RICH and the WEALTHY. The Riksbank, over in Sweden, funds this Noble Prize in economics, and they also were involved in unsound QE policies for the country of Sweden. Stefan Nils Magnus Ingves was the culprit who has run the Central Bank of Sweden. 

You can read the Wall Street Journal to get the details on this Noble Prize in Economics. I am not surprised at the decisions as our financial SYSTEM rewards those who prevent real corrections to our financial house of cards. Money rules this planet and those who CONTROL the money system determine who gets what! To me, all this is diabolical and corrupt. But that is my point-of-view. Think for yourself on all these issues.

Escalation Determined as Ukraine Leaders Refuse Compromise! Will Nukes Follow?

As of today, the Russian military is retaliating against Ukraine's bombing of the Crimea Bridge. This is a 'tit for tat' event which will escalate the war situation. Will the Ukraine military counter with more acts of 'terror'? This is likely. Russia will counter any counter (by Ukraine) with their volley of missiles. The pattern is evident and the USA is behind it all. Nothing could happen without the USA desiring this war!

It is our $$$$$$ which funds the Ukraine government and their military. It is our weapons and intelligence which allows more counter attacks to happen. My sense is that this WAR is really between the USA and Russia. Given the mindset of both leaders (Putin and Biden) we can expect more 'tit for tat' and more destruction of property and of innocent people.

This war started prior to February 24, when Russia invaded Ukraine. It all started with the Obama administration back in 2012 - 2014. The policy back then was to destabilize Ukraine and punish Russia. The Coup back in 2014 led to the annexation of Crimea. Then the lack of compromise led to the war of February 24 and after. Russia wants a multi-polar world system whereas the USA wants a uni-polar world system. 

The war is over political worldviews and the power to rule the planet. The USA wants their policies to rule our planet and Russia rejects this uni-polar viewpoint of the USA and our United Nations. You can listen to Putin's philosopher friend, Alexander Dugin, for the details on the differing worldviews. Russia now wants SECURITY along their border (a buffer zone) and they will not surrender this policy.

Ukraine is also viewed as less than a fully owned country as its history includes both Russia and Ukraine. Russia views Ukraine as a curse to their 'security interests'. They also view Vladamir Zelenskyy as a puppet king with no real support of the people who claim Russian heritage. Zelenskyy has support only of a select group...which does not include a majority of the Russian speaking people (in Ukraine). 

Russia thinks that their Security must include a BUFFER ZONE so that NATO can not put missiles directly on a Russian border. This may be valid for Russians even as it is invalid for the government of Ukraine. All this means WAR and destruction until some type of COMPROMISE can be negotiated. The USA could promote a compromise but it looks like they desire CONFRONTATION (as of today).

The Crimea Bridge bombing is an example of what happens with this 'tit for tat' war. Russia has now bombed cities within Ukraine as a retaliation of the bridge bombing. An emergency meeting is now being called by Zelenskyy with the G-7. Will this produce a trend towards negotiation with Putin? I doubt it! The USA wants more confrontation and we have the $$$$$$ and weapons to continue this confrontation.

All this means that Russia will retaliate as they get more pressure from the Ukraine military advances. It's a WAR that can not END until the USA and RUSSIA choose to negotiate. As of today, the word from Washington is more 'confrontation' and the word from Russia is more 'retaliation'. Will the nukes fly at some point? This is highly likely! Russia can not back down and it appears that the USA also will not back down.

The real war is between Biden and Putin. They see reality differently. They view control over this planet differently. Biden wants his AGENDA to prevail while Putin rejects this AGENDA as invalid for Russia. The worldviews of Biden and Putin differ on the CORE issues of power/control/rulership! War must continue as long as this mindset prevails at the highest levels. 

That is may assessment of our situation. The war is essentially a spiritual war. The spirit of Putin rejects the spirit of Biden (and the WEST). The spirit of Biden, Obama, NATO, the U.N. and the WEST will not compromise on their need to control the AGENDA for this planet. It's a WAR over political worldviews! Think on this as you WATCH events unfold. Have a great day!

U.S. Economy heading SOUTH as GDP Declines Daily! Listen UP!

When I watch the real-time financial numbers, I witness that the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is declining daily. The numbers reveal that the U.S. is in a recession...heading for a depression. You can watch the real-time numbers here: 

www.usdebtclock.org

Our total DEBT is now over $31 trillion as a nation and our DEBT (including National, State, Local, and Personal) is now over $93 trillion. Debt to GDP is 140% and much more when ALL debt is included. The World Debt Clock shows all nations with growing GDP except the United States of America. The U.S. has a declining GDP (in real-time). This reveals that the U.S. is in recession...heading for an economic depression. The world economy will follow what happens in the United States of America IMO. 

Real Estate is now in serious trouble as interest rates for a mortgage have reached 7%. This makes home purchases nearly impossible for the many (affordability is the problem). I just witnessed the vacancy rate in San Francisco office space (it is now over 25%). The National Vacancy Rate is over 17%. Real Estate is in serious trouble and this will cause a continuing DECLINE in our GDP. Real Estate makes up some 30% of our overall economy.

As America goes into a recession...heading for a depression, this will cause the global recession. Rates all around the planet are going up. Interest rates are also going up in Europe and Asia. All this will create our WORLD economic depression in 2023. We are heading for economic chaos and this can not be stopped given the policies of our Central Banks. Will Powell pivot in 2023? This is likely!

Central Banks RULE over all our financial markets. These entities can PUMP up money digits with the click of a computer key. They can also create a liquidity REDUCTION with a click of the computer key. As I write they are reducing LIQUIDITY globally. Money digits are the life-blood of our global economy. When these DIGITS decline (as a result of policy decisions), the financial markets head for recession.

I would suggest that we are CURRENTLY in a recession...heading for a depression. We will all witness this coming economic depression in 2023. It takes a few months for all these Central Bank events to take their toll on the economy. I witness some consequences as of today but the growing consequences will happen in a couple of months. The election in the U.S. this November could be significant for the entire planet.

If the U.S. economy tanks and voter sentiment changes from Democrat to Republican on November 8, we could witness a change of guard in the U.S. Political policies would change and serious consequences would emerge for the Biden Administration. We need to watch the results after November 8 to discern what might happen. My sense is that a CHANGE in leadership is happening! This will create HUGE changes in all areas of our political economy!

That is my viewpoint as of today. I will keep you informed in this blog and also my Kingdom Economics blog. Have a great day! I am: Donald B. Swenson, Economist/Philosopher, donaldswenson.blogspot.com. Also, http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com. 

America's Election; Prediction; Consequences for Biden's Agenda!

My sense is that America's election in 31 days (November 8) will result in a Republican majority in both the House and the Senate. The economy, gas prices, and foreign policy are the core issues which will tank Biden's support after this election. If this happens (as I project) then Biden's polices will crumble and his administration could become totally ineffective. Biden's future would be in doubt. Does Bill Clinton know what will happen (listen above)? My projections (as of today) are the following:

1. The HOUSE will have some 230 republicans after this election on November 8. This is an increase of 18. The increase could be greater IF the economy tanks these next couple of weeks.

2. The SENATE will have some 51 republicans after this election. This gives the republicans a majority in the Senate. A majority will result in new policies which challenge all the current policies of the Biden administration. 

As of today, the House has 212 republicans (a minority) as the total House membership is 435. The Senate currently has 50 republicans (a minority)...as Kamala Harris votes to support the Democrats. If my perception is valid, the House and Senate will shift to the Republicans in 31 days. This is HUGE as the policies of Biden will then be rejected. In fact, Biden could be impeached and/or rendered impotent if this happens on November 8. 

The war policies could change. The energy polices could change. The social policies could change. The immigration policies could change. The financial decision making could change. America could be a different nation on November 8 (if my projections are valid). The BIG issue as of today are the economic issues. People vote based on perceptions on the economy (mostly).

If gas prices continue to GO up, this would benefit the republicans. If the stock market tanks, this would benefit the republicans. Financial issues are KEY when a voter casts his/her vote. Perception is KEY and the big Kahuna is usually the ECONOMY. My sense (as of today) is that the economy will worsen and gas prices will start to increase. This could be the KEY and Biden's democrats could suffer.

Support for Ukraine could also shift in 31 days. The issue is MONEY. If our economy tanks, MONEY would become an issue. Perception is KEY and this election could CHANGE America (if my projections become valid). As of today, our financial house of cards is crumbling and gas prices are increasing. The DEBT situation is getting WORSE and interest rates are going UP. MONEY could be a problem for the next House and Senate.

Biden's policies (now supported) will be in shambles if my projections prove to be valid. America is totally polarized politically. The Biden policies get support because the House and Senate is controlled by the Democrats (as of today). But all this could CHANGE in 31 days. Watch November 8 for the final numbers. My sense is that our economy is tanking and gas prices are reversing. This will produce a Republican WIN on November 8. That is my perception. Watch and witness the results in 31 days!

Putin's Nuclear Threat Is Real - says Wall Street Journal (A13)! Let's Contemplate!

Walter Russell Mead has a review of Putin's mindset (in today's Wall Street Journal). He says EVERYONE should understand. The essence of Putin's viewpoint is derived from his Philosopher friend, Alexander Dugin. Watch the video and think about this view of reality!

Mr. Mead says the following: "Mr. Putin sees global politics today as a struggle between a rapacious and domineering WEST and the rest of the world bent on resisting our arrogance and exploitation. The WEST is cynical and hypocritical, and its professed devotion to "liberal values" is a SHAM. The WEST is not a coalition of equals (says Putin); it represents the domination of the "evil Anglo-Saxons" over the Europeans and Japan. Mr Putin sees this American led world system as the successor to the British Empire, and he blames the Anglo Saxon or English speaking powers for a host of evils, from the Atlantic slave trade to European Imperialism to the use of nuclear weapons in World War II. Mr. Putin's military is currently in headlong retreat across much of Ukraine, but the threat that Putin poses to vital American interests must not be underestimated. Putin's threat to use NUCLEAR weapons is REAL."

The above presentation of Putin's mindset is similar to what I have been saying for months. Mr. Putin will not bow to WESTERN liberal philosophy as he sees this as anathema to Russian progress and also to WORLD progress. Alexander Dugin, is Putin's brain, when it comes to foreign policy. Alexander thinks that WESTERN liberal philosophy is a SHAM and a DELUSION. Vladimir has agreed with this mindset!

What is now happening over in the Ukraine is a fight for the entire planet. Russia (with support from China and Iran) will not change their viewpoint going forward IMO. America and the WEST will also not change their viewpoint. This means WW III is on the horizon. We have a fight (now developing) for control over planet EARTH. I call this a fight to the END as the mindset of the WEST and the EAST are at full loggerheads! There is no compromise as long as Biden, Xi, and Putin remain in POWER!

We now live in an interconnected world society as our internet connects everyone. Our planet has NO borders when viewed from the SKY. At some point we must view our planet as ONE entity (village) with some 8 billion citizens. We need a MODEL for our planet which encompasses this reality of interconnectedness. Kingdom economics espouses a border-less world under ONE Sovereign.

The ONE Sovereign is our Creator God who rules 'invisibly' from his Throne Room. One Planet Under our Creator is my mindset and MODEL. Father God is ruling this planet NOW and reality is ALWAYS a NOW experience. Successive moments of NOW is how I live my life. I assume you live your life similarly. The ONE reality which we ALL share is 'living in the NOW'. Who can debunk this reality? I say NONE!

If the NOW is our reality, then we can develop a MODEL which allows the NOW to represent our reality. The Kingdom Age (soon coming) is a NOW reality...even as we experience 'man's delusions and illusions' within our current SYSTEM. Getting rid of our delusions and illusions will RESTORE the NOW for everyone. The biggest 'delusion/illusion' is our MONEY system. What is 'money' in reality?

I say 'money' is merely a 'name' and a 'number' within our consciousness. The dollar (now mostly digital) is a 'name' and a 'number'. In reality this 'name/number' does NOT EXIST. It's PURE illusion and delusion. But we continue with this illusion/delusion (within our imagination) for the time being. At some point this illusion/delusion will vanish and disappear. Imaginary money has no LASTING power once people wake-up to reality! The coming CRASH of our illusionary financial markets will reveal this reality!

Reality must eventually prevail. The insanity within politics and governance must eventually be recognized for what it is: a destructive/negative force with no LASTING power. Eliminate 'money' from this planet and SANITY will emerge instantaneously. Think on this idea of eliminating this ILLUSION called MONEY. Would a NEW world emerge that is PEOPLE centered? My sense is ABSOLUTELY!

This young man tries to explain MONEY. He stumbles with his 'words' but his basic understanding is totally VALID. Listen to the entire video and ignore the stumbling words. Everyone must eventually recognize that MONEY is a HUGE illusion/delusion within our 'consciousness'! This young person has a VALID understanding!

Shame on USA: Nord Stream pipelines where destroyed at Biden's request! Why?

It is now evident, to me that the USA was behind the explosions in the Baltic that destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines. Our Secretary of State used his diplomatic speak to admit the obvious. USA was behind this destruction so as to further their effort to destabilize Russia. The words of Blinken (see above) reveal the reality that America destroyed these pipelines.

This is shameful behavior and it will lead to more war and destruction going forward. Fox News is also revealing that America was behind this destruction.  The Fox video is currently not available as it was just completed. But this video gives more details:

It now appears, to me, that WW III is here. I see no situation that will prevent a world war from emerging. The fight is over CONTROL of our planet. The viewpoints are at loggerheads. All this leads to war and global conflict. We must now prepare for a 'mushroom' cloud to appear someplace. Where? It could be Ukraine, it could be London, or it could be New York. Only GOD knows!

Revelation 6 does reveal that human death will grow during these END TIMES. Some 2 billion could die during the coming war. Who dies? Only GOD knows! Our man ruled governments are all collapsing and this leads to chaos for the citizens. What could be a positive end to this scenario?

If Biden stepped down from power this would help. If Putin stepped down from power this would help. I Xi stepped down from power this would help. The BIG THREE need to recognize that THEY are the PROBLEM (globally). We live with a political system which allows a FEW to govern the MANY. Those with money, guns, and power govern over the MANY. 

As victims of this corrupt SYSTEM we all must just WATCH and pray. What can we do to STOP this insanity on this planet? We have NO POWER and NO CONTROL. It's the FEW (in power) who push our buttons and force us to follow their AGENDA. We live with a man ruled SYSTEM where the FEW govern the MANY. The mindset of these FEW determines our destiny! All this is shameful!

Get yourself informed on the issues is my advice. The issues over in the Ukraine and over in Europe (re this pipeline) are key to events which will affect us all going forward. It now appears that we must live with insane leaders who will determine our destiny via war. War is hell for everyone. Who is promoting peace and negotiation? My sense is that no-one is leading us to a peaceful outcome (as of today). Think for yourself as you watch the markets!

World politics has entered the SPIRITUAL realm. Putin says the WEST promotes outright Satanism!

The speech by Vladimir Putin on Friday claims that the WEST is promoting outright Satanism with their policies and thinking. Vladimir says 'reverse religion' is being practiced by the WEST (Biden, NATO, and Europe). All this points to the reality that we are now living in the END TIMES and our politicians sense that the Spiritual Realm is at play. Let's review!

Who is Satan? Scripture says that this 'invisible' demon is the God of this Planet. Satan is the God of this World System according to scripture. Our Politicians are servants of this diabolic demon who works 'invisibly' within the MINDS of select politicians. Putin senses that Biden's worldview is 'Satanic'. I assume that Biden also assumes that Putin's worldview is 'Satanic'. All this reveals that our politicians sense that world events are spiritual at the core!

You can listen to Putin's speech here:

The big issues today are originating over in Europe. Putin has chosen to reject the WEST'S worldview of a Uni-polar world. He is now acting to promote the Russian Federation as a political entity which will challenge the Uni-polar world of the WEST. We can witness all this division on the global internet as we watch events happen in real-time.

Biden and his Deep State operators want a Uni-polar world where the WEST runs the planet under a rules based formulae (America must be supreme). The general name for this system is called Agenda 2030. This rules based system was adopted by the United Nations in September of 2015. Pope Francis blessed this program and all the 193 members of the U.N. voted for this program. See U.N. website for details.

The official start of this rules based program with their goals and rules became official on January 1, 2016. Putin must have bought into this set of goals for a short time. But his philosopher friend, Alexander Dugin, recognized that this Agenda was detrimental to the survival of Russia as a nation. Alexander also viewed this Agenda as detrimental to a world which needed Russia's history and moral values.

Vladimir and Alexander chose to REJECT the WEST'S Agenda 2030 program and this has led to the Ukraine War which we now witness. Russia now wants a Multi-polar world system and they REJECT the Uni-polar world system promoted by Biden, NATO, and Europe (including the U.N.).  Russia wants to promote a Multi-polar world system where each nation sets their own rules.

The Rules Based System of the WEST (called Agenda 2030) has been totally rejected by Russia and also China (as of today). This rejection has produced the Ukraine War and the Bi-polar world system which is now emerging. The Agenda 2030 program is now DEAD IMO. We are now living in a Bi-polar world system which I would call the EAST vs the WEST. The Agenda 2030 model promoted a Uni-polar world!

The world system is based upon PHILOSOPHY. I call it one's WORLDVIEW. Putin has a worldview. Biden has a worldview. The United Nations has a worldview. The reference point for decision-making is one's WORLDVIEW. As of today, the world leaders do not have a worldview which is in AGREEMENT. This produces decisions which challenge the status quo. Chaos can result when our leaders do not have a worldview with promotes Peace and Justice for the many. That is our SITUATION today IMO.

Where does this LEAD? It leads to WAR and DIVISION as the leaders can not AGREE on the core issues. Witness the War in Ukraine as an example of disagreement on core values and core beliefs. War must follow at some point. We are playing God and the winner uses MIGHT MAKES RIGHT as their philosophy. Who will prevail? Only God knows!
