Three American Institutions which act as our DEEP STATE! They Hide their ACTIONS from Americans! Why?

America does have a Deep State which runs our government (currently to the detriment of the American people). The key institutions which act behind closed doors to effect policies which determine America's destiny are:

1. The CIA (also called the Central Intelligence Agency).

2. The FBI (also called the Federal Bureau of Investigation).

3. The FED (also called the Central Bank of America).

These three institutions hide their decisions behind closed doors so that no voter/citizen can discern what they are doing in real-time. In recent years the internet society has revealed that these three institutions are acting counter to the interests of the American Constitution (in many areas) and to the interests of the common man (in many situations). I will outline a couple of issues which make this clear.

Our CIA gets involved in trying to overthrow regimes and governments (on this planet) which run counter to the goals of these key decision makers. We can witness the Ukraine war as basically a result of prior actions of the CIA to create a COUP in Ukraine so that Russian influence is nullified and stifled. This was done in 2013-14 and goes by the Orange Revolution. This plot was mostly a CIA operations.

Acclaimed Firm Director Oliver Stone claimed that the overthrow of Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych in 2014 was the result of an American plot.  America's CIA was behind the plot and this is now a viewpoint which many recognize historians view as valid. Stone compared the Maidan protests, which started in late 2013 as part of a backlash to Yanukovych's pro-Russian, anti-European policies and this eventually led to his overthrow (the Coup). America uses this institution to do dirty work so as to further their goals.

The Orange Revolution was part of a CIA operation to further the goals of the West. Isolating Russia from furthering their goals was the core issue. Our CIA operates behind closed doors to further the policies of select officials who desire that their goals prevail on the international stage. The American people are mostly ignorant of this institution and its operations. All is hidden behind closed doors. Few can gain access to the inside decisions of this organization.

Another plot of our CIA was the killing of both John F. Kennedy (our 35th President) in 1963 and then the assassination of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. Both of these killings (when analyzed from history) point to actions of our CIA...who operate behind closed doors to create their policies and killings. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is now convinced that it was America's CIA which killed these two disliked individuals (politicians) who desired policies which contradicted the polices of this organization.

Today, we witness another organization which is hiding documents so that our Congress can not obtain details on the Biden Crime Family situation. James Comer, a Congress man from Kentucky is heading up the Oversight Committee on an investigation of the Biden crime family situation. 

Our FBI has further documentation on these financial issues but they are not cooperating with James Comer and his Committee so that further details can be revealed. It appears that the FBI is covering up details to further their goals which run counter to the goals of the Oversight Committee. This points to the corruption within our government and to the desire of select politicians to gain favor from this institution so as to avoid transparency. The FBI should be investigated and then abolished but this is not allowed under the Deep State control system.

America has been operating for years with hidden organizations which run the government and which further goals which run counter to the interests of most Americans. The corruption is deep and apparent for those who understand our system. Both the CIA and the FBI should be abolished so that our governmental decisions have transparency to our citizens. Today, we have a DEEP STATE system which operates behind closed doors to cover-up the polices of our administration. It's shameful and it needs to change.

The third institution which is totally corrupt and hidden to any real transparency is our Central Bank (the Fed). This institution operates behind closed doors in Washington D.C. and also in New York. A few select elites run the institution and hide their daily decisions from the public. No media is allowed to investigate their actions and decisions. They operate as an independent institution which is totally contrary to our Constitution. Money rules America and this institution can funnel $$$$$ to select organizations so that THEIR goals are furthered. The American people are slaves and victims of this hidden system which operates behind closed doors. It's all corrupt and shameful.

Take some time to think about this governmental system which runs contrary to the interests of the people. How long can these institutions remain hidden? Why no investigation by our media? Why can't our elected leaders challenge this hidden system of corruption? I call this the DEEP STATE as it is beyond the awareness of most Americans. When will someone be allowed to investigate these organizations? All is hidden behind closed doors. It's all shameful and unconstitutional. We need a new system where transparency is allowed.

The Biden family started some 20 LLC's to funnel money into their coffers! So it seems!

James Comer of the House has details which implicate the Biden family in serious financial corruption! Whistle Blowers are coming forward with new data on the Biden's financial corruption while he served America as Vice President! Will voters ignore all this corruption?

An update on the Biden family influence peddling situation!

The House Committee on Oversight is looking into the financial corruption of the Biden family. It appears that the Biden family formed some 20 LLC's (Limited Liability Corporations) so as to funnel money from foreign sources (China, Ukraine, Romania, etc.) into the Biden family coffers. It appears that this 'influence peddling' was part of the plan while Mr. Biden was Vice President of America. Joe Biden denies it all even as the evidence grows via whistle blowers and IRS documents that are emerging. 

The immediate response of the Mr. Biden's is to DENY all this financial corruption which seems overwhelming to me. Can Biden and his Democratic supporters avoid a serious collapse of the Biden Administration as more evidence piles up? My sense is that the days of the Biden Administration are numbered. His financial corruption has expanded to his entire FAMILY (so it seems). Millions of dollars are involved. Can Joe run for another term of President with this legacy?

It appears that the influence peddling within the Biden family started mostly while Mr. Biden was Vice President. His son, Hunter Biden, was obviously an agent in all this financial corruption. Can Joe cover-up all these prior episodes of financial corruption so as to get elected again in 2024? We could have a battle of two corrupt Americans in the election of 2024 (Donald Trump and Joe Biden). Will America elect one of these to represent our country? It may depend on the STATE of our economy prior to this election.

Joe Biden's brother, James, was part of the plan to funnel money into the coffers of the Biden family (so it seems)! Evidence is piling up that financial corruption was endemic.

My sense is that our voters will mostly ignore all this prior corruption of our elected leaders as long as the economy stays strong. Most voters will vote their pocket book when the election is held. The lesser of two evils is the mantra of most American voters. Evil is never attributed to the person who gets one's vote. Money rules over our political system and most American's follow the money as it flows into their personal coffers. I notice this mindset as I visit with my many retired community friends here in Arizona.

Will the coming DEBT CEILING situation bring America to its knees? This will be interesting to watch. My sense is that this Debt Ceiling issue could be crucial to events going forward. America is technically bankrupt. We can not repay any of our $trillions of debt. The numbers are way beyond our ability to solve mathematically. At some point America MUST default on all this DEBT. Personally, I would like this to happen NOW. We need to start thinking about a NEW MODEL for our economics.

Schumer, McConnell, and McCarthy can not agree on a plan to stop Government spending! Why? Money rules over America and her commerce! You can witness the situation here:

www.usdebtclock.org

Money rules over America and as long as America has the Reserve Currency for the planet, American politicians will spend $$$$$$$$$$$$ to infinity to get elected (so it seems). Why not? America can create $$$$$$$$$$$$$ out-of-nothing with the click of a computer key. It's called official $ COUNTERFEITING (in my book). But the world system of commerce is allowing this financial corruption to continue (for now) . Russia and China must step up and form a CHALLENGE to the $ if anything is to change! Will this happen? I think so! Keep watching!

Our markets are slow to change but I do sense that change is in the mill. We could witness some huge financial events prior to the end of 2023. It takes time for these events to surface and become public issues. But I do sense that progress is being made to de-dollarize the global markets so that more competition enters our markets and changes this huge free ride which America has enjoyed since the end of WW II. We could witness some real change prior to the end of 2023.

As I write, the income tax revenue is declining. The money supply is declining. Small business assets are declining. Our FED is pumping up interest rates so as to bring us a RECESSION. All takes some time to surface, but its happening behind the scenes. Keep watching the markets to discern these events. My sense is that real estate price declines will bring us this recession some time in 2023.

King Charles III has roots going back to King David and the House of Judah! Amazing!

The cross of Jesus (above) suggests that King Charles III has some connection to the House of Judah and possibly King David! Is he a religious King?

The symbols and icons at the coronation seem to suggests a connection to religious history that goes back to Jesus and ultimately to King David of the House of Judah!

King Charles III has a Jewish hat on his head. Does he have some connections to the House of Judah? How far back does the Royal Heritage of the United Kingdom go (1,000 B.C.)?

The recent coronation of King Charles III as King of The United Kingdom and Northern Ireland revealed to me the religious symbology which gives us evidence that this King derives his heritage ultimately from King David of Israel (maybe)?  God has designed (so it seems) the Monarchy with symbols that reveal the origin of this Royal System of governance. King Charles is obviously a descendant from the Royal House of David if the symbols and icons are meaningful!

We can trace this descendancy of this Monarchy by observing the various symbols on the Flags of Ireland, Scotland, and England and also the symbols on the Coat of Arms which give evidence of this origin. It appears that King Charles III will fulfill his historical role and play some role in these end-times. Is he going to play some role in bringing about a One World Government System for our planet? He obviously supports the Agenda 2030 program of our United Nations. His mantra appears to be CLIMATE CHANGE!

He fully supports the Climate Agenda of the United Nations and the Paris Agreement. He has connections to some 2.5 billion citizens as he is recognized as being a leader of some 56 Commonwealth nations. This represents one-third of planet earth. King Charles III will likely play some role in bringing about the centralized agenda of our Western leaders who all support this Agenda 2030 program of 17 sustainable goals for our planet. See all of the goals on the U.N. website.

All these goals need a leader with connections to key political elites who can further the progress of this Agenda. King Charles III could be this leader. But is any of this progress for real human freedom, justice, and a more prosperous planet for us citizens? My sense is absolutely not! The attempt to create a UNI-POLAR world system is detrimental to the many (you and I) who want real freedom and justice.

What really needs to happen is to decentralize the planet so that real freedom and justice can emerge. The actions of King Charles III and his elites will not bring us these results IMO. As I write the Royal Monarchy of this King is crumbling fast in much of the world. The son of King Charles has just written a book, called SPARE, which outlines a history of corruption within this Royal House of the Commonwealth.

I personally have read some stories about this corruption in the social relationships of this institution and also in the emphasis on issues of climate change and a centralization of political institutions. It appears to me that King Charles III is fully in support of a Global World Governmental System. He appears to support the World Economic Forum agenda and also the U.N. agenda 2030.

Prince Harry, son of Charles and Diana, is now living in California with his wife and two children. He is ostracized from his family (to some degree) for implicating the royal family in a history of social corruption. Much is based upon a dislike for the Monarchy as an institution (so it seems) and its rulership mentality over others...in today's world of the internet. Prince Harry is speaking out with his feet as he chooses to leave this royal heritage for a new life of freedom in the United States. Amazing change for this royal person.

I have reviewed some of the statements in Harry's new book, Spare. 'Spare tire' may be a better label as Harry views himself as less than important now that he is 2nd in line for the Kingship. His brother William could be the next King after the reign of King Charles III. The history of this Royal Family appears to go all the way back to the Tribe of Judah and King David (1,000 B.C.). Nothing is certain but the symbols seem to suggest this heritage (as being valid).

Some say that Prophet Jeremiah, along with a daughter of King Zedekiah, left Jerusalem around 586 B.C. (after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple by Nebuchadnezzar). They left and went to Northern Ireland and this transferred the Royal Line of David (its symbology) to Ireland and later to Scotland and then to England. The symbols of a red lion and a gold lion, plus a unicorn symbol on flags, point to this heritage. There are many other symbols, like the six pointed star of David, which also is on the coat of arms in Britain. They all point to a heritage which goes way back!

The coronation of King Charles III was mostly filled with religious protocols, icons, and symbols that seem to point to this Royal Heritage which goes all they way back to King David of Judah. The viewpoint of many is that King David and then the King of Kings, Jesus of Nazareth, is all part of the liturgy which was evident during this coronation ceremony. King Charles III is evidently suppose to fulfill the role of a religious King as he governs his Commonwealth system (some 2.5 billion citizens when all 56 nations are included). Does he internalize this heritage? We must watch his actions going forward. I will follow this issue now that King Charles III is this official KING!

Our world needs leaders with a vision and maybe King Charles III has a vision for the world? My sense is that he will try to lead with words and policies that promote Agenda 2030 (the plan which is already approved by our United Nations) and a One World Governmental System for our planet. Personally, I would not SUPPORT this agenda. My sense is that this King will attempt to help our current leaders to promote this U.N. Agenda. I am sure Biden and the West will buy into this leader's agenda if he works with the U.N. and the other Western powers.

But Russia and China may not desire this centralized agenda of the West. The mindset of the East (mostly Russia/China/Iran and the BRICS) will desire a Multi-polar world system (so it seems) which contradicts this centralized Agenda 2030 of the West. This is happening NOW with this war in Ukraine creating this division in politics. Can King Charles III bridge the policy gaps and change the current trends? Personally, I doubt it! Think for yourself as you watch a new KING try to bring UNITY to the WORLD SYSTEM.

King Charles calls for UNITY in his first message to the Commonwealth! Can he succeed? 

These signs suggest that UNITY may be difficult for King Charles III!

The King with his wife, Camilla. The Royal House of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!

Some women who support the King and his institution! It's all rather interesting!

My CHOICE for Creator of Planet Earth! Why?

Most of us live on a planet which is revolving in space with no grounding in a material substance. Who originated this planet? Who gave our planet the 'name' EARTH? Was it a person? Who is the SOURCE? Who is the Prime Mover? Can we derive some answers from history?

My viewpoint on theology, philosophy, and human history is based upon the IDEA that a CREATOR rules this planet (that which we call planet Earth). This CREATOR is invisible to one's observation. Why? Because this CREATOR is a Spirit Being who lives outside of our material universe. I observe our universe and our planet as objects in motion (within space). These objects are material and VISIBLE. What is not visible is our Spirit Being who acts as CREATOR and Prime Mover. This BEING is real and present (within our consciousness) but NOT VISIBLE. What does this all mean?

My CHOICE for our CREATOR is based upon the evidence of prior history. Prior history reveals (to me) that a CREATOR produced all the objects which I witness outside my consciousness. Trees and flowers are observable evidence. Animals (all types) are evidence. The sky and our stars are evidence. And most of all LIFE is evidence. Life, for me, derives from prior LIFE. Our CREATOR is the ultimate SOURCE of LIFE imo. This, to me, is axiomatic (self evident). Common sense says that some INVISIBLE source is behind all that I observe. So who might this Source be?

Who would this CREATOR BEING be? What is the evidence of history that leads me to the conclusion that I hold? Let's point to some evidence from history for this missive. What historical persons experienced a CREATOR within their lifetimes. What did they experience?

Messiah's who experienced a CREATOR person during their lifetime were:

King David, Cyrus the Great of Persia, Yeshua of Nazareth were three obvious historical person's who were also viewed as Messiah's during their lifetime (by many persons).

King David ruled around 1,000 B.C. (some 40 years as King over the twelve tribes of Israel). We have evidence of his life and his various experiences from today's archeology (over in Israel). He obviously lived on planet Earth. He is viewed as one who believed in Yahweh, the God of Israel, as our Creator. His son, Solomon, was anointed to built the FIRST TEMPLE building to the God of Israel (Yahweh). This was accomplished after the death of King David around 960 B.C. King David obviously experienced the invisible God of Israel during his lifetime.

Cyrus the Great of Persia was another historical King who received words from the God of Israel (Yahweh). He was called a Messiah person by the prophets of Israel. Cyrus reigned from around 559 - 530 B.C. Cyrus was born around 600 B.C. and lived some 70 years on planet Earth. The Empire of Cyrus was in today's land of Iran/Iraq. Cyrus authorized the return of the Israelites back to Jerusalem and this ended the 70 year captivity which had occurred under Nebuchanezzar. Cyrus obviously experienced the invisible spirit of Yahweh God. His words are evidence.

Yeshua of Nazareth lived on planet Earth from around 4 B.C. to around 33 A.D. Yeshua was an Aramaic Jew from the tribe of Judah (one of the twelve tribes of Israel). This Jew served as a Prophet and a Rabbi while living on planet Earth. Many have exalted this person to the level of Messiah (since his death).  Yeshua preached about the coming Kingdom of his God and he also died at Golgotha after his short life span on planet Earth. He then was gradually exalted to a Divine Person (some say Son of God and some say God Almighty). Others, like the Ebionites and Pharisees (believers in Yahweh) viewed Yeshua as less than God. The Ebionites viewed Jesus (Yeshua) as a prophet like Moses but not Son of God or God. Many theological viewpoints are held about this prior historical person who lived on our planet. Who knows what is actual reality and what is fake deceptions? Our internet is full of theories and viewpoints!

Prophets who experienced the God of Israel (Yahweh) during their lifetime:

Some prophets which we have evidence of that lived and experienced the God of Israel are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Malachi, Amos, Zephaniah, Zechariah, and John of Patmos.

Isaiah was born in the 8th century B.C. and wrote the book under his name in the Bible. Isaiah prophesied that Cyrus the Great would eventually restore the nation of Israel to the land of Israel. The book of Isaiah is quoted many times by New Testament writers and also by writings within Islamic theology (although not in the Koran). Hezekiah was King during the lifetime of Isaiah and this King did listen to the prophets voice. It seems obvious to me that Isaiah experienced the God of Israel and viewed this God as our CREATOR.

Jeremiah lived from around 650 - 570 B.C. This prophet authored the book of Jeremiah in our Bible. Some say he also authored the Books of Kings and Lamentations (with assistance from others). Jeremiah was viewed as another Moses to many. According to some, Jeremiah was the father of Ezekiel. The book of Revelation, mostly chapter 18, is based on prophecies of Jeremiah. Some would view Mystery Babylon, which the prophet John revealed in his vision as today's America. I tend to agree with this viewpoint. Jeremiah prophesied the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem and a 70 year period of captivity for those who were taken to Babylon. It is obvious to me that Jeremiah was a real person who lived on planet Earth.

Ezekiel lived around 622 B.C. and died in 570 B.C. He apparently was the son of Jeremiah. Ezekiel is mostly a prophet to the House of Israel and the House of Judah. Ezekiel received words from his God (Yahweh) which led to his visions and his message to his people. He prophesied on issues of judgement for the people of Israel and for the future nation of Israel. The Gog/Magog war is a future prophesy that many are now expecting to happen soon. Is the Ukraine war with Russia part of this prophecy? Many say yes. This war could start the coming Great Tribulation. Is Putin Rosh within this prophecy? Anyway, Ezekiel was a person who lived on our planet and which experienced the God of Israel directly.

The prophet, John of Patmos,  lived on our planet around 9 A.D. to 100 A.D. John was exiled to the island of Patmos by Emperor Domitian around 95 A.D. where he had a VISION of what might happen in the latter years of Church history (some say his vision was of current events not a future prophecy). He wrote this book that we call Revelation. This revelation was (apparently) from Yahweh God via the glorified Yeshua via an angel who gave this vision to John on Patmos. John was a real person of history but scholars do not know precisely his relationship to the other historical apostles of Yeshua. Many eschatological thinkers assume that Revelation is relevant for today's current events. My sense is that this is partially valid. The end of the Church Age is part of this vision and the beginning of the Kingdom Age is also part of this vision. John is obviously a historical person and this means he did live on planet Earth.

History of Israel which provides us evidence of a Creator God:

The historical story of Israel is that they lived in Egypt (some 400 years) and then were saved from slavery by this historical person called Moses. Was Moses a real person who lived on our planet? I think so! We have evidence of Mount Sinai and the life of Moses during the 40 year exile in the Sinai desert. Mount Nebo is where Moses died and this mountain is in today's nation of Jordan. We all know the reality of the 10 Commandments. It is highly unlikely that people would adopt these 10 Commandments as real if they were fake words of man. The words reveal that Yahweh God is the author of these commandments. Moses was a real person and his life ended around 1406 B.C. on Mount Nebo (a real place on today's planet). The words of Moses after descending from Sinai reveal that the God of Israel was real and is real today.

Personally, I view Noah as another historical person who lived on our planet. The dates are uncertain but we now have much evidence that a FLOOD occurred some time in the past. Current estimates of the date of the flood are around 2457 B.C. The global flood apparently happened some 1,543 years after Adam's creation (Noah was apparently 600 years of age). I am assuming that Adam's creation was around 4,000 B.C. All is conjecture to a degree as there was no calendar for us to witness during this time-period. My sense, however, is that Noah and his wife and three sons and their wives did repopulate the planet after the great flood. I am a descendant of Noah's family and I suggest so are you. The lifetime of Noah proves, to me, that life derives from a Higher Intelligence which I call our Creator. Who was this CREATOR GOD?

It is rather obvious, to me, that our CREATOR GOD is this God of history which I read about and study about. This God was also called the God of Israel (after the days of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob). Was this God the same God as the God of Adam and Noah? I think so! Today, most scholars of history believe that the God of History can be called Yahweh. We have evidence of Yahweh from the TWO Temple's which existed. The First Temple was from the days of Solomon to the Exile into Babylon and the Second Temple was from the days after Cyrus the Great to the destruction (of this Temple) by Rome in 70 A.D. This history is real and the many person's which experienced this history are those above.

So WHO is the GOD of HISTORY and WHO is our CREATOR GOD? My sense is that this GOD is none other than the God of Israel, also called Yahweh God in the Hebrew language, and Father God in our English language. Some TITLES of this God are the following:

1. God Almighty

2. The Father

3. Yahweh (some say Jehovah)

4. Ancient of Days

5. Most High God

6. Creator of planet Earth

7. The invisible KING

8. Our Higher Intelligence

9. The Spirit Being within us (within our consciousness)

10. The Sovereign Source (also called the LOGOS)

We have ample evidence that the above is our God and our Source. If this is valid, then we all must eventually recognize this SOURCE as our Sovereign King and Almighty Creator. Should Biden, Putin, and Xi be governing our planet given the above? My sense is absolutely NOT. The politicians are merely PLAYING GOD. Playing God is not valid when we understand reality as noted above. That is my viewpoint. Think for yourself on all these issues of life.

Can Biden, Putin, and/or Xi govern over planet Earth with a mindset of hate? Who should be the real government over this planet? Is it time for change?

Was Yeshua/Jesus a FALSE Prophet? Let's Explore this Viewpoint!

Christian prophets are saying that TRUMP is coming a 2nd time to be America's President? Are they true or are they false prophets? We must wait and see!

Yehsua/Jesus did claim that the Kingdom of God was coming (during his lifetime/generation). He preached this message during his ministry. Did it happen? I don't think so! Would this make Yeshua a 'false' prophet? Some would claim this!

Paul of Tarsus had a vision (apparently from the glorified Yeshua). He was expecting the 2nd coming of this person during his lifetime. See Corinthians 15. But he was mistaken. Was Paul a 'false' prophet?

Today, we have hundreds of 'false' prophets who espouse their uncertain viewpoints on issues of eschatology and theology. Do any KNOW what they are preaching (with certainty)? Think on this!

Today, we live at a time in history where many scholars, historians, pastors, believers, and thinkers view our TIMES as Eschatological (the end of an era). This idea of the 'end of an era' or the 'end of the world' (theological eschatology) has been a topic of discussion for thousands of years. At the time of Yehsua/Jesus (29 - 33 A.D.) this idea of the END of historical politics (Rome) and the BEGINNING of a new era where God would be King was a serious topic for everyone to contemplate, especially for a Prophet like Yeshua.

It is obvious, to me, that Yeshua (I will use this name going forward as Yeshua was Aramaic/not American) thought that God's Kingdom was near (coming) and that he was a Prophet (of Yahweh God) who had 'words' directly (from Yahweh) confirming this idea of a coming Kingdom for planet earth. Yeshua thought that God's Kingdom of righteousness was arriving with him and with the daily events which were happening at that time. The Kingdom of evil (Rome) was ending!

Yeshua was a Jew who also viewed his cousin, John the Baptist, as a Prophet of Yahweh God. Yeshua, at the age of around 29, chose to follow the Apocalyptic preaching of his cousin, John, and this led to his decision to get baptised by John in the Jordan River. What happened during this historical time period is that John was arrested and killed (beheaded) by this political authority called Herod Antipas. All this happened some time after Yeshua's baptism experience. But the mentorship of John was part of Yeshua's theology IMO. John the Baptist was influential in the thinking of Yehsua and in his theology of God's Kingdom!

After the death of Yeshua's cousin, John the Baptist, Yeshua decided to start his own ministry which continued the idea that the Kingdom of Yahweh God was near (coming to our planet). Yeshua believed this message (thoroughly) as he thought this idea was a message which had come DIRECTLY from Yahweh God. The Kingdom of Yahweh God (also called the FATHER, in English) was at hand and Yeshua was preaching that this NEW AGE was arriving NOW (Now being the time period of the historical Yeshua).

Since the Kingdom of Yahweh God was arriving this was HUGE for Prophet Yeshua to digest and accept. This meant that the Roman Empire was going to wane and perish (die) and the Kingdom of God was going to replace the Roman governmental system. Yeshua did also think that HE was anointed by Yahweh God and that Yahweh God had selected HIM as Messiah for this New Era (Kingdom). Yeshua thought that HE was God's Messiah who would help to bring in the KINGDOM AGE and the END of ROME.

Yeshua selected followers who bought into this message of the coming KINGDOM AGE. Gradually, these followers (disciples) agreed with Yeshua that HE was God's MESSIAH. After some three years of preaching this message of the coming Kingdom of Yahweh God, Yeshua went to Jerusalem to preach this message to the leadership within the Sanhedrin (also all those who would listen to him preach at the Temple). Yeshua's message of a coming Kingdom created followers and also enemies of his ministry.

The leaders of the Sanhedrin listened to his preaching but they rejected his belief that he had been anointed as a MESSIAH of Yahweh God. They assumed that Yeshua was attempting to MAKE himself God. This would be pure BLASPHEMY to a serious believer in the God of Israel and the Prophet Moses. Did Yeshua actually think that HE was God. This is clearly NOT what he thought. Yeshua thought that he had been 'anointed' by Yahweh God to preach this idea of God's coming Kingdom. He did not think that HE (himself) was God. The idea of being a Messiah is that God's WORDS were received as being FROM God (and then for all believers who accepted these WORDS).

Yeshua believed that the WORDS he had within his consciousness were WORDS which had been received directly from Yahweh God. If true, then this meant that God's Kingdom Age was arriving with the preaching of Yeshua (God's anointed). He did not think that his ideas were his own (they were the ideas of his God). God, for Yeshua, was Yahweh God. Yeshua was a Jew who believed in the Torah and also the message of the Torah as given to Moses (by Yahweh God). He viewed his role as being a MESSENGER of this God.

So, we know that Yeshua was rejected by the elites of the Sanhedrin (as being a false Prophet) and then he was crucified by the Roman governmental system (probably for this concept called 'Sedition'). After his death at Golgotha, Yeshua's followers acquired the belief that HE had been 'glorified' (spiritually) and that he had then ascended to his God, Yahweh God (also called the FATHER in our English language). Believers came to the conclusion that Yeshua was ALIVE (in the spiritual realm) and this produced this Resurrection Story (which we read in the Gospels). In reality, he was not bodily resurrected but he was 'glorified' (spiritually) at the point of death (my viewpoint).

Anyway, a new religion eventually emerged (around all this confusion and misinformation) which led to what we call today as the CHURCH AGE (now some 2,000 years old). Today, we have another group of thinkers (disciples) who preach a 2nd Coming of this prior Jew from Nazareth. His 1st coming was obviously unsuccessful (his idea of the Kingdom Age as coming did not materialize). He was mistaken in his thinking and this would make Yeshua a FALSE PROPHET (in the mind of many). Was he a false Prophet? He was mistaken in that his ministry assumed that the KINGDOM OF HIS GOD was coming!

My view is that Yeshua was mistaken about the coming of God's Kingdom. This Kingdom was suppose to arrive during his lifetime (his generation). He preached about this Kingdom for some three years. The Kingdom did not arrive, however. His disciple, Paul of Tarsus, also thought that Yeshua's 2nd Coming (after his death) was near (during Paul's lifetime) but he also was mistaken. So Paul was also a FALSE PROPHET in the mind of many thinkers. Today, we have thousands of FALSE PROPHETS who are preaching ideas of a coming Tribulation and then a 2nd coming Kingdom of Yeshua (new age). So what is really happening on this planet? Does anyone really KNOW?

My sense is that NO-ONE really knows for sure what is happening. For me, I am of the belief that another MESSIAH is coming with another message of the KINGDOM AGE. Yahweh God is going to bring this KINGDOM AGE to planet earth in the very near future. That is my ESCHATOLOGY. My belief is based on the idea that 6,000 years of man's rule is ending (soon over). Mankind has lived on this planet (now for some 6,000 years) and God is going to END this rule of man and establish his eternal KINGDOM. It's coming to planet earth NOW and successive moments of NOW. That is my belief (Eschatology)!

I watch events happening in REAL-TIME and I interpret these events as LEADING to this coming Kingdom Age (after a period which I call the 'transition'). This 'transition' is happening NOW and it will continue until it ENDS. When it ENDS then the KINGDOM AGE will arrive for planet earth. Is this a logical viewpoint? Personally, I think so! For me, God rules this planet and we humans live 'at effect'. Living 'at effect' means that God is the CAUSE and we are mere servants of this HIGHER AUTHORITY. If God rules, then it is logical (to me) that his RULE will replace man's rule!

Anyway, we must think for ourselves on all these issues of reality. Yes, Yeshua, was mistaken on his viewpoint back in A.D. 30 - 33 (IMO). His viewpoint of a coming KINGDOM did not happen. This makes him a false prophet (similar to his disciple Paul of Tarsus) to some degree. Personally, I would view everyone as a 'false' prophet to some extent as we all accept our viewpoints based on 'uncertain' ASSUMPTIONS. No-one really KNOWS with certainty anything. Socrates was right. Human beings should KNOW that they don't KNOW anything. We live with ASSUMPTIONS. My assumptions are what I must live with.

Have a great day and think for yourself! If YOU KNOW with certainty (any of the above), then get out and PREACH this certainty to your neighbors. All I can do is present my VIEWPOINT! I am: Donald B. Swenson, Economist/Philosopher, donaldswenson.blogspot.com.

Fed's Decision to RAISE rates means CRASH is likely this Year! Why?

Our Fed is the Central Planner for interest rates in America and also the world (to some extent). All financial markets are now interconnected and what happen's in America will affect the world markets (in time). We live with digital money which can be increased with the click of a computer key and which also can CRASH in seconds when traders FLEE the markets for select SAVE HAVENS (gold/silver/oil/land). Our markets live off fear and greed!

Our electronic markets mean that computers rule over all prices and monetary events today. Computer trading produces price changes in seconds when investors trade money units for stocks and also when investors stop trading and seek safe havens for their prior investments. Fear is the key motivator for trades into safe havens and Greed is generally the motivator for trades into equity assets (like the stock markets). FEAR and GREED will determine when the next big change in our markets happens.

Today, Jerome Powell, announced that the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) decided to raise the Fed Funds Rate to a maximum of 5.25% (a 0.25 basis point increase). This change will play out over time but it will surely restrict overall liquidity in our markets and eventually create this market CRASH that I have been expecting. A crash could happen suddenly if traders (in mass) decide to exit the stock market and SEEK safe havens (like gold and silver).

As of today, the general markets are still not in a full FEAR mode. This, however, could change in a day if some major event sets off the FEAR emotion. FEAR and GREED moves our markets and so far it has been GREED which has won the day. This, however, could change suddenly. My sense is that FEAR is now growing in our markets and the decisions of our traders are trending towards SAFE HAVENS (as a result). The ultimate safe havens (based on financial history) is GOLD and SILVER.

Gold and Silver are physical metals which have been desired mostly when FEAR permeates the markets. Today, the trend is starting to move towards a FEAR mentality. Real estate is in trouble as these higher interest rates are slowing this industry down and price declines have started to emerge in many housing markets. My area of Arizona is starting to change and price reductions are witnessed regularly today in Tucson and Phoenix. I would expect this trend to continue going forward.

The big kahuna that is now emerging is a slow down in our commercial real estate markets. Office buildings are having high vacancy rates and new construction is declining. The same goes for most retail construction. This trend will grow in the coming months and then we could witness many bankruptcies and liquidations. I have witnessed this situation in past cycles where interest rates have increased. Housing and commercial real estate is in BIG trouble when the cycle changes (as it is today).

The Central Bank of American (the Fed) is now in total control over our interest rates. The decision of our FED is to slow down the economy and create a much lower inflation rate. Eventually, the markets will respond to this institution's control and we will witness a major change in the business CYCLE. Our FED rules over the American economy and this institution also influences all markets on our planet. A global recession is on the horizon IMO. After this event emerges the next event will be a global depression. 

Since our monetary system is now digital and it lives WITHIN our consciousness (as mere imaginary numbers) we will experience a major DEPRESSION at some point down the road. Money is an inner concept of our mind (consciousness) and this means that EMOTION (also an inner situation) rules over logic when push comes to shove. Once the CYCLE has finally changed to FEAR, then we will enter this depression stage IMO. Again, its FEAR and GREED which move our markets and which determine the ultimate outcome of these markets.

Watch the gold and silver markets going forward. Yes, these markets are manipulated by our financial authorities. They can suppress these prices to some extent with their computer trading gimmicks. But when most traders decide to FLEE the equity markets for safe havens (in earnest) then all attempts to manipulate the prices will prove futile. I think we are heading for this situation later in 2023. I do not think that this ASSET BUBBLE cycle can continue much longer. We have had some 14 years of asset bubbles (since 2009) and the END is on the horizon IMO.

Get prepared now for a coming economic depression (worse that 1929). It is likely to START some time in 2023 and continue for years. What we need is a completely NEW MODEL for our system of commerce going forward. Keynesian DEBT economics is essentially OVER. This model, which started in 1934 with Franklin D. Roosevelt, has run its course. DEBT is now beyond repayment and everyone with some understanding can sense this reality. You can see the numbers here: www.usdebtclock.org.

U.S. unfunded liabilities are now over $200 trillion. Our total debt is over $96 trillion. Our National debt is over $31 trillion. None of these obligations can be repaid by American production or economic growth. The Keynesian debt game is essentially over. The next CRASH will expose this situation as impossible to solve. Even the current DEBT CEILING situation exposes our debt situation as impossible to solve. Biden wants to IGNORE the debt ceiling and the Republicans in Congress want to reduce spending. But nothing will really solve our DEBT situation. America must eventually DEFAULT and then develop a NEW MODEL.

The entire financial HOUSE OF CARDS will come crashing down at some point future. My sense is that this event will start in 2023. Once the full CYCLE changes to FEAR in our markets, then this event will emerge for everyone to witness in real-time. FEAR and GREED are the motivators and the trend is now towards FEAR. Today's Fed Funds increase will bring more fear into our markets. The CRASH may not happen for a couple of months (maybe not till this fall). But the handwriting is on the wall IMO.

By the way, we have a new candidate for President by the name of Vivek Ramaswamy (37 years old) who understands our FED. This candidate seems to think that we need some type of new model for banking going forward. Will he challenge TRUMP and/or BIDEN agenda (he is running as a Republican) in this coming 2024 election cycle? Watch the debates later this summer to witness the thinking of this candidate on issues of money and banking. He seems much more knowledgeable then either Trump or Biden.

You can witness some of his thinking in this video:

Vivek is an American of Indian heritage. His intelligence is obvious to me. He needs to present his credentials to the American public in the coming election DEBATES. Listen to his viewpoint for his thinking on all the issues! His core message includes the original ideals of the American founders! I would like him to get some traction as the election cycle continues! He understands the role of our FED much better than any of the other Presidential candidates!

REALITY: The Mighty $1.00 is now a mere 'bookkeeping entry'! Amazing devaluation has occurred!

Today's American dollar is a mere 'bookkeeping entry' recorded in dollar symbols! Our money unit has become a 'unit of our consciousness' (nothing)! Who understands?

 After the end of WW II, the mighty American dollar ($1.00) was King of the economic universe. Our American dollar was viewed as being 'as good as GOLD'. Gold (and silver) has been the foundation of money systems for most of our monetary history. Foreigners (the Central Banks) were allowed to exchange this American dollar for GOLD at the ratio of $35 dollars for one ounce of pure gold. The viewpoint of currency traders was that the U.S. Dollar was EQUAL to 1/35th of an ounce of gold (therefore as good as gold). This history is key to understanding money and our current situation of international trade.

In August of 1971, America's inflation had risen to unacceptable levels (politically) and foreigners chose to exercise their privilege of exchanging their excess reserve dollars for our gold. America had over 700 million ounces of gold at Fort Knox after WW II. Gradually, however, this hoard of gold (some 70% of the world's supply) was reduced to a mere 272 million ounces in 1971. The supply was dwindling fast and President Nixon got the word from his Treasury Secretary that all our GOLD could disappear totally if the trend continued.

Nixon panicked and announced to the world of finance (on August 15, 1971) that America would no longer honor the exchange of reserve dollars into our gold supply. This ended the historical 'tie' of the American dollar to gold (and simultaneously to anything physical). The new American dollar ($1.00) was now a Fiat unit of nothing (a mere bookkeeping entry). The American dollar was a mere bookkeeping entry (for most purposes). It was viewed as without any material value (other then a subjective value within one's consciousness). This situation changed somewhat in 1975 with the Petro dollar.

Since 1971, the American dollar has been viewed (mostly) as a weighted average of other Fiat Currencies by the International Monetary Fund (an mere mental abstraction of the mind). It acquired some credibility in 1975 when our dollar was psychologically 'tied' to OPEC OIL and made the pricing digit for oil (internationally). This so-called Petro Dollar saved America to some extent as traders viewed our dollar as more than an abstraction of the mind. It was viewed as 'tied' to oil as long as OPEC accepted this arrangement and forced other nations to buy oil with the American dollar.

The Nixon decision on August 15, 1971, changed our mighty American dollar from an equivalent to 1/35th ounce of gold to a unit of nothing (in reality). Our 'nothing' dollar was saved psychologically (as noted above) when it was 'tied' to oil (1975). Kissinger arranged a deal with Saudi Arabia to PRICE oil exclusively in the American dollar. This arrangement (with Saudi Arabia and OPEC) continued until recently (2022) when this Petro dollar deal was broken by Saudi Arabia. Today, oil is PRICED in alternative currencies and our dollar is being rejected by many nations (the BRICS are an example).

So as I write this missive, we can view the American dollar ($1.00) as mostly a 'bookkeeping entry' with no substance in material reality. I call it a mere 'unit' of our consciousness (nothing). It's a digit in cyberspace (our computer screen) for distribution purposes. This digit ($1.00) is now created by our Central Bank (the Fed) with the click of a computer key. Creation is via a DECISION of this Central Bank and their administrators. QE (called quantitative easing) is an example of digit creation by Fiat (a decision of the Fed administrators). I call this procedure 'official' counterfeiting!

Since 2008, trillions of dollar digits ($$$$$$$$$$$$) have been created out-of-nothing (the mere consciousness of our Fed administrators). The dollars created get recorded as 'bookkeeping entries' in our ledgers of finance. What a shame on the character of America now that our dollar ($1.00) has become a unit of nothing (a mere abstraction within the human mind). America trades with a 'bookkeeping entry' (a mere symbol) for goods and services (internationally). China accumulates these 'bookkeeping' entries as does Japan, Germany, Vietnam, South Korea, England, and a host of international nations.

America enters these dollar digits on their bookkeeping ledgers so as to record our DEBT...which can never be paid back. Our debt accumulates as new bookkeeping entries (numbers) and get added to the past accumulations. Today, America's debt grows exponentially and our leaders ignore the consequences of their behavior/thinking. Our Fed creates digits via the computer (called QE) and ignores that this is technically 'counterfeiting' of our dollar. Official 'counterfeiting' is ignored by our Congress and the media. The American people (the public) are mostly ignorant of all these shenanigans and criminal decisions. 

Our world system of finance is crumbling and America is MOSTLY the culprit. America dropped gold from backing our dollar (in 1971) and allowed a mere 'abstraction' of the mind to emerge as international money. The cover for this abstraction was oil from 1975 to 2022. Today, there is NO cover and our politicians (Biden, et al) spend mere digits (mental abstractions) for our purchases from foreign nations. America's trade deficit (negative since 1976) was grown to over $1 trillion (annually). There is no solution to this situation as Americans have become dependent on foreign goods and services. America is now technically bankrupt and few seem to comprehend. See the evidence here:

www.usdebtclock.org

It's shameful to expose this corruption within finance to the public. But my viewpoint is that America needs to KNOW this history. Can we continue this charade indefinitely? Can our Fed cover-up this criminal behavior indefinitely? Can Biden and his Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, cover-up this history so as to continue the CHARADE? I don't think this is possible given our interconnected global communication system. Russia is now aware of this charade. China is aware. Saudi Arabia is aware. Brazil is aware. A growing body of nations are BECOMING aware of America's criminal behavior (on issues of finance).

At some point, our politicians will recognize that this GAME of money must END. The American public will also get educated gradually on these issues. America now has a mere 'BOOKKEEPING' entry for their currency unit. The unit is a 'name', 'number', and 'symbol'. See it here: $1.00. What is a 'symbol' derived from the human MIND? Is it real money? Is it a viable unit of VALUE for international trade? Can our Fed cover-up their money shenanigans indefinitely? Can Biden? Can Janet Yellen? We can watch and wait! It's a SHAMEFUL system IMO!

America's dollar was a 'thing' of nature until Nixon closed the gold window on August 15, 1971. Today, our dollar is a mental abstraction and gets recorded as a 'bookkeeping entry'...our public debt! It's shameful that so few citizens understand this history!
