Matthew 24:36 is clear (to me). Yeshua repeated this mantra some 8 times prior to his ascension. NO-ONE knows when the 2nd Coming will occur (ONLY the FATHER/Yahweh KNOWS). It is useless to predict when the End of the World will occur IMO. This END is scheduled to happen but we all must live with UNCERTAINTY on the TIME element. Father God sits on the Throne and he is the ONLY ONE who knows what he (himself) plans for mankind. All happens in the NOW via the Father's holy spirit!
As Yeshua (messenger of God) preached from the Mount of Olives, select disciples came to him asking, 'Tell us when will these events happen? What will be the SIGN of your coming to END this system and establish your Father's KINGDOM? Yeshua said, "only the one who endures to the END will be saved. The Gospel of the KINGDOM (of my Father) must be proclaimed in the entire world (our entire planet) and THEN the END will come." The 'day and hour' is unknown to everyone on this planet!
Yeshua advocated DIVISION (dis-unity) on issues of the end-time as he wanted his Father's will to prevail. He said, "if those days (this end-time period) is not cut short, no human being would survive (be saved). He said, this generation will not pass away until ALL events take place (all that the Father has ordained to take place)." But concerning that day (this END situation) no-one knows the details, ONLY the Father knows!" The Father sits on the throne as a Singularity (see Revelation 4).
Matthew 10:34 says, "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to planet earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword, a weapon which divides and severs." Some children will be set against parents and a man's enemies might be those in his own household. True disciples must 'hate, themselves (even their father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes even their own life). This mindset is not taught in our churches but the words are presented in scripture. The message is one of division! Few comprehend!
The Olivet Discourse cuts to the bone. Peace will not be the all-defining mark (initially). There will eventually be peace and unity, but not until the END has arrived with all its judgments and trials. Jacobs Trouble must happen first. The Seals of Revelation must be experienced first. The division within society must be experienced. Polarization within politics must happen. The END does not arrive with peaches and roses UNTIL all is accomplished per the FATHER'S AGENDA.
See this video for more details on the events which must happen PRIOR to the END (of our SYSTEM).
The book of Daniel gives us a tentative timeline of history and then sums up the end when God brings mankind his KINGDOM. God = Ancient of Days and son of man = Messenger of God. God never comes directly to our planet but he does work THROUGH his servants/prophets/messengers. The above video gives us one possible scenario on how events are transpiring. Revelation is also a book which builds on the visions within Daniel. Both are relevant for today's believers IMO.
Today, we have many Prophecy Preachers advocating an ESCAPE from all these trials and tribulations (which must happen to bring us this END). It's called the RAPTURE of the Church. It's preached by most who recognize that serious TROUBLE lies ahead. These rapture preachers are leading masses into a group-think herd IMO...which is heading towards a deep cliff. Escape is desired in the 'name' of Yeshua by many.
However, true believers will not fall for this ESCAPE mentality. TROUBLE is part of personal spiritual growth and trials are also part of learning and growth. A good lesson from history is the experience of Noah prior, during, and after the Great Flood. Today, our world has a similar feel:
"But as the days of Noah were, so also will be the coming of the son of man (this messenger of Yahweh God)." Noah escaped the flood but he had to endure the water and tribulation for some 364 days. He did not get 'raptured' up into the clouds (so as to escape this ordeal)...as many of our prophecy preachers espouse today. My sense is that all of us must endure to the END and accept the consequences that are ordained to happen. Seek God for your solace! I must do likewise!
Since no-one KNOWS how events will play out, I must live my life in the NOW and accept the events as they happen. I can not change these events of PROVIDENCE. America was founded by PROVIDENCE and America will end via PROVIDENCE. That is my sense of things. Think for yourself and watch the changes which happen daily. I must do likewise. Have a great day!

The mindset of Yeshua (also called Jesus by Christians) is like a brother to those of us who understand his words (message). Yeshua lived his life as a servant of Yahweh God (whom we often call the Father) but his image CHANGED after his death...as the Church 'exalted' this messenger of Yahweh to God Almighty (the Church made him part of a Trinity). Was this a HUGE mistake by the Church? I think so! Let's think!
1. Even after his death at Golgotha, Yeshua, spoke to his disciple, Mary, with the following words (I assume these are valid): Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.
The Father Was Still Yeshua's God After The Resurrection (glorification) so it seems.
After His glorification and ascension into heaven Jesus/Yeshua still referred to God the Father (Yahweh) as His God. What does this imply? For me, this implies that Yeshua was NOT GOD! Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, Mary, for I have not yet returned to the Father (meaning Yahweh God). Go instead to my brothers and tell them, `I am returning to my Father (YHWH) and your Father (YHWH), to my God and your God (John 20:17). Wow! The Church had this totally wrong! Is it time to correct the Church of Christianity?
2. John 5: 37 says: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Implication: Yeshua/Jesus is NOT God!
3. John 17:25 - 26 says: “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.26 I have made you[a] known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them. Implication: Yeshua/Jesus is NOT God!
4. John 8: 28-29 says: “When you have lifted up[a] the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” Implication: Yeshua/Jesus is NOT God!
5. John 5: 30 says: “I can do nothing on my own.
As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
6. John 14: 10 says: Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Implication: Yeshua/Jesus had the mindset of the Father but the Father was a 'separate' person.
7. Mark 12: 29 says: And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord. Implication: Yeshua/Jesus did not view himself as God!
8. Matthew 16: 15 - 17 says: “But whom say ye that I am?” And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered and said unto him, “Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” Implication: Yeshua/Jesus is NOT God!
9. For I am God (Yahweh), and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee. (Hosea 11:9)
God (Yahweh) is not a man … neither the son of man. (Numbers 23:19). For he [God] is not a man. (1 Samuel 15:29). Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God (Yahweh) is one Lord. (Deuternomy 6:4). Implication: Yeshua is separate from Yahweh. Yahweh is another 'name' for the Father!
10. And when the sixth hour (noon) was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour (3 p.m.). And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? (Mark 15:33-34). Implication: Yeshua was fully human with human emotions and character.
The above represents scripture which (if valid) shows that Yeshua/Jesus was fully human and NOT God. He was a Jew from Nazareth ( a man) who desired to promote his GOD as the GOD of our universe. His strategy was probably to show that real 'freedom' and 'justice' comes (not from man's religion) but from the 'invisible' King of our universe (Yahweh God). His message (preaching) however, was REJECTED! Why?
It appears, to me, that the Elites at the Sanhedrin assumed that Yeshua wanted to make himself GOD (King of the Jews). The real Yeshua, however, did not desire this status (he understood that God was not a human being or a created person). His words, however, were misunderstood (by many followers) and this misunderstanding continues today in this Church called Christianity. Deception has led to IDOLATRY (unknowingly) IMO!
Today, we live with a religion which worship's the MESSENGER of Yahweh (our Creator God)...and simultaneously proclaims a false TRINITY God as valid for believers. This TRINITY God was not the mindset of the historical (earthly) Yeshua. His GOD was the Father (whom he called Yahweh). Is it time to think ANEW on these theological issues? I think so!

My view of human nature is that 'seeking truth' is not what people desire. My sense is that 'truth' emerges spontaneously from our 'invisible' source, yet few people desire to pursue 'truth' (also called 'reality'). Amazing! Personally, I find 'seeking' truth worthwhile and meaningful. I imagine that there are a few others who think similarly. The many, however, seem to desire self gratification and self interest. This seems to be the view of the many! I find this mindset a 'form of insanity' (so be it)!
Today's Wall Street Journal had an article on the mindset of most Ukrainians. Many live without power, water, heat, or sanitation. Yet the mindset of most is: "we want more weapons from the West so we can defeat Russia". More weapons from the West is what is desired (so it seems) and Biden says he wants to send more to Ukraine (indefinitely). The West seems to promote this mindset! Is this the reality that will lead to peace and security long-term? My sense is absolutely NO. It leads to nuclear war (eventually)!
Russia can not surrender their goals of security (as they perceive it) and if Ukrainians desire more despair they will likely get this (changing Russia by war is folly). A simple solution would be to give up on more war and destruction and SEEK negotiation with Russia. Vladimir Putin says that he wants negotiation and if the Ukrainians would accommodate Putin this would lead to LESS killing and destruction (immediately). More weapons from the WEST can not lead to peace and happiness for the people of Ukraine or Russia IMO. We need a trend to the 'positive'!
It appears to me that we are heading for some type of nuclear response from Russia at some point. Ukraine has no nuclear weapons and their actions merely PROVOKE Russia into using nuclear if this war continues into 2023. Negotiations (at least) would start a process where SANITY could prevail (eventually). But the article in the WSJ implies that both Mr. Biden and the Ukrainian people want MORE weapons and more killing. Amazing insanity (is my response)!
The WEST wants Russia to capitulate and abandon their 'security' interests. As I write NATO is expanding their arsenals into the Baltic Sea. Sweden and Finland want to join NATO and continue the aggression against Russia (in the Baltic). NATO also wants to expand their military weapons into Poland and other adjacent nations along the Russian border. Is NATO strictly a defensive alliance? My sense is NO. NATO will advance their political/military agenda and try to force Russia to capitulate. This is folly thinking IMO.
Russia has nuclear weapons and at some point this option will become necessary if the WEST (with the encouragement of Ukraine's people) continue their mantra of wanting more WEAPONS and fighting. A mindset of 'negotiation' would allow the people of Ukraine to reestablish their electricity, heat, and water. This would allow millions to live and grow the economy (for all). The status quo simply leads to an eventual NUCLEAR war. Prophecy does seem to indicate that this mindset will continue. I hope not!
The global economy is suffering from this Ukrainian war. America will also suffer 'down the road' if this mindset continues. The insanity of provoking Russia daily (via sanctions, weapons, and military aggression) can not work long-term. Russia is not a minor nation on the global scene. Russia has the weapons to end this war via their nuclear options. Why is the WEST wanting to send MORE weapons to Ukraine continually? Is the WEST thinking that Russia will capitulate? I do not find this mindset creditable!
My reading of history reveals that the WEST wants a 'uni-polar' world system (politically). This mindset of the WEST will create global Communism for the entire planet (if allowed to happen). Russia and China have rejected this concept of a 'uni-polar' world system. Can the WEST implement their global governmental system without Russia and China agreeing? This seems impossible to me. It is pure FOLLY! As I write the EAST (China, India, Russia, Iran, Syria, North Korea, and others) are revealing their desires for a 'multi-polar' world system. The WEST continues with their idea of a 'uni-polar' world system!
Our world is now fragmenting into TWO blocks. The WEST and the EAST is what I call this situation. We could have TWO major blocks (set of nations) starting in 2023 if this Ukraine war continues. Economic sanctions are forcing Russia and China to harden their thinking. My sense is that we are living with a LOSE/LOSE strategy (politically/militarily). Our politicians continue this INSANITY and the people simply do not desire to challenge this mindset.
Prepare for a MAJOR nuclear response (from both sides) in the near future. Sorry for this assessment of our situation! I see no alternative as of TODAY! The people of America, the WEST, and Ukraine do not want negotiation with Russia. Their mantra is 'MORE WEAPONS' and more destruction. I find this as total 'INSANITY'. How can this mindset produce peace and security for the planet? Isn't it time for the people to challenge the thinking of our politicians? Do the people want a 'uni-polar' world? Do they want a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT for the entire planet? Is Global Communism desired by the PEOPLE?
Klaus Schwab and his elitists (at the World Economic Forum) say that we have a Fourth Industrial Revolution in progress. This Revolution is leading to Global Communism for the planet. Everyone will be enslaved to those who control the system. A few elitists will run the planet is the DESIRE of these few. The vast majority of people are mere PAWNS in the hands of these elitists (is the message I hear). At some point we need to CHALLENGE this model for our planet! Think for yourself on all these issues!
Reality is forever a NOW experience, however. This means that conditions and thinking could CHANGE in a moments notice. We live in an 'interconnected global world system'. Wiser heads could appear (eventually). My hope is that this will happen soon. Have a great day! Watch the coming collapse of our global economy in 2023. This seems evident as I write. I am: Donald B. Swenson, Economist/Philosopher, donaldswenson.blogspot.com. Also, http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com.
Today's Wall Street Journal (page A16) inspired me to write this article on Christian theology. My Rabbi friend, Tovia Singer, also has his take (viewpoint) on the issue of Yeshua's nature (was he both 100% man and 100% deity simultaneously)? The implication is that the definition of being human flows from the definition of Yeshua's (Christ's) nature while here on this planet (6 B.C. to 33 A.D.). This is part of the Christian affirmation. If Yeshua was fully human and also fully God...why not me/you being both?
Yeshua is called 'the Christ' by our Christian theologians. The word 'Christ' means anointed one. The idea within Christianity is that Yeshua's life experiences (his core nature) transfer to each of us as believers. If Yeshua, during his earthly lifetime, was both fully human and fully God (simultaneously) then this means that I/You can be similar (fully God and fully human). His nature and his life is representative of everyone is the core message of Christian theology. Let's expand on this theology and what this implies.
In theological jargon, this is called the 'hypostatic union' concept (the combination of divine and human nature in one person). The one personality of Christ (Yeshua) in which his two natures, human and divine, are united (simultaneously)...also as postulated in the Trinity concept. This Jew person, from Nazareth, is viewed as God in the flesh and also fully human. Listen to Tovia Singer, an orthodox Jewish Rabbi for his take (above video).
Personally, I read Pslam 22 and 23 again to get my exegesis of the text. It is obvious, to me, that within this text are the words of King David. King David had a difficult life (at times) and he was rejected by many of his close relatives/associates. David's son, Absalom, (for example) desired to kill him and he wanted the throne of David. This desire, however, did not materialize. Absolom was eventually killed by David's army. What a paradox!
David had many other 'enemies' which did not approve of his rule. His laments were a cry to his God (Yahweh). The word LORD in most scripture means Yahweh. Today, I use the word FATHER GOD when I think of Yahweh God. Others will use Jehovah or HaShem. Did Yeshua also cry out to Yahweh God (in the Gospel of Mark and Matthew) prior to his death on the tree? Did he say: Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani? What was he thinking as he said these words?
The comments above by Rabbi Tovia Singer seem totally valid and logical to me. The real human Yeshua (called Christ by Christians) was crying out to his God (YHWH) while he was simultaneously dying via crucifixion. What does this imply to me? This implies that Yeshua (called Jesus/Christ) was fully human during his lifetime. He was NOT deity and this 'hypostatic union' concept should be viewed as a false teaching.
The theory which Christian theology has promulgated is that Yeshua/Jesus was fully human (man) and simultaneously fully God (deity). This would make Yeshua's behavior a cry to himself (after all he was God in the Christian viewpoint). Yeshua would be 'talking to his God self even as his human self was dying. Does this make any sense? Tovia says this is nonsense and I would agree. Furthermore, if Yeshua/Jesus was God then what was the meaning of his behavior at Gethsemane?
Did Yeshua/Jesus cry out to his God self as if he did not know his destiny. Was he God or not while here on this planet? Is this theology logical to my human mind? It makes no sense to me. In reality, I would assert that Yeshua cried out to his Father God (Yahweh) who was a 'separate' spiritual person from himself. He said the following at Gethsemane: “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me.Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
As Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane, his first request is for his Father to “take this cup of suffering away from him”. If he were God (this hypostatic union concept) then this would mean he was 'talking to HIMSELF (his God self). He would KNOW what God meant to him (precisely) and he would not need to suffer or cry out to God. Christian theology claims Yeshua/Jesus was God in the flesh (fully) even as he was also fully human. Makes no sense to me!
The theological implication of making Jesus/Yeshua God (in the flesh) makes one's logic meaningless when the 'behavior' of this person is evaluated. How can God (in the flesh) cry out as if he didn't KNOW the meaning of his suffering? There are many other words in this New Testament which I would view as problematic. My view is that this 'hypostatic union' concept is preposterous. If Yeshua is both God and fully human (simultaneously)...then I/You must also be God and fully human (at this moment). This to me leads directly to ANTI-CHRIST thinking!
When the Anti-Christ arrives on the scene, he will likely view himself as fully human and also fully God. This viewpoint will be accepted by many thinkers as it allows human nature to exalt itself. Human nature will exalt itself so that SELF can be viewed as GOD. Submitting to a Higher God is anathema to those who desire to exalt self. This mindset is what I envision for the Anti-Christ. Will this person be a professional Christian? This is certainly POSSIBLE. We could witness the END of Christianity after this person (on a White Horse) arrives to exalt himself.
The real Messiah was/is not a person who desires to EXALT himself IMO. The real Messiah (which I envision from reading the Gospel of Mark) was a SERVANT messenger. This person desired to promote the KINGDOM of God (the God of history). This God, in my view, is the FATHER (also called Yahweh/Jehovah/Most High/Ancient of Days/Creator/King of Kings/the I AM person). This God is 'invisible' and has NO IMAGE (no human likeness). He works via his 'invisible' spirit! I view this God as empowering Yeshua and all the prophets with their spirit power! This God works via the 'spirit' and events happen as the 'spirit' ordains.
Theology is important IMO as it is core to one's belief system. Beliefs have 'implications' and 'meaning'. Personally, I view Yeshua as a fully human...a Jew who desired to serve his God. This God was the God of the TORAH/TANAKH. Read Pslam 22 and 23 for the real theological meaning on this issue of what King David said. Reality does not change with time IMO. Reality in the time of King David and Messiah Yeshua is also reality today. I would maintain that NOW is reality (always)! Think for yourself on all these issues of life!

Is Sleepy Joe Biden of sound mind? He is now 80 years old and many say he is energized by the mid-term election results to stay in POWER. Joe, apparently, wants to remain in power...even after some 48 years in power to date. Joe has acted as an elected authority since 1973 (with dubious results). Many of us today think Joe needs to step down and allow younger blood to assume his role within our government. Why?
Today, Joe seems to need his 'teleprompter' to assist him with his speech. Without this aid he stumbles and reveals his lack of real-time focus. Recently, he mistook Cambodia as Columbia. He mistook the Ukrainian city of Kherson for Fallujah, Iraq. There are many more gaffes on the internet. Are these mental gaffe's a SIGN of lack of focus? A sign that his days in POWER need to end? Are they a sign of 'old age' dementia? Some say, YES!
Sleepy Joe has been enunciating 'gaffes' daily and many of us think this reveals his need to step down from power. Will he? 'Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac', so said Henry Kissinger (another authority who desired continual power and control). It appears that Joe will not recognize his mental situation until his handlers remove his 'teleprompter' from him. This is unlikely!
What does all this reveal about the mindset of most politicians? To me, this reveals their desire to 'Play God' for as long as possible. Power is definitely a huge 'aphrodisiac'. Abraham Lincoln said: "nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." The big issue for America today is 'character'. I witness much faulty 'character' among our many politicians (both parties).
Another issue which gives me a sense of one's questionable 'character' is the story in today's Wall Street Journal on this attorney, Mr. John Eastman (a distinctive law professor), who, apparently, advised Mike Pence on issues of the assumed fraudulent election situation in 2020. Mr. Eastman advised Vice President (at the time) Pence to delay official proceedings so that the legal situation on the 'effects' of illegalities regarding the 2020 election could be evaluated.
John Eastman is the founding director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, a public interest law firm affiliated with the conservative think tank Claremont Institute. He is a former professor and dean at the Chapman University School of Law. He was also a former law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. He was born in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The Wall Street Journal article reveals that Mr. Eastman circulated two memos on this situation (the supposed illegal activities of the 2020 election). He, apparently, thought it a proper legal procedure to stall the election count of the Electoral College so that state legislatures could re-evaluate the 2020 election result. The article seems to imply that Mr. Donald J. Trump used this legal advice to maintain that Vice President Pence could reject the vote on January 6, 2021 (which led to all the later commotion about Trump's behavior on that faithful day called the January 6 riot situation)!
What, apparently, encouraged Mr. Trump to pursue his January 6 challenge (I watched this happen in real-time) was legal advice from this professor, Mr. John Eastman. Mr. Trump tweeted on January 5 (the day before the riot) that he had not originated this 'idea' of Vice President Pence stalling the Electoral College vote. The legal advice is what (most likely) led to Trump to insist that his Vice President stall the process. We are now getting some transparency on all these events which headline our news daily.
The January 6 debacle has gained much media attention and the STORY has many twists and sides. Who knows what really happened in this election of 2020. My personal sense (as I wrote in my prior missive) is that MUCH corruption/fraud occurred. Voting irregularities were obvious, to me. I watched many videos which seemed to point to fraud within the polling venues. I watched as many independent poll watchers reported (via affidavits) that the venues had many irregularities. Was the FINAL count legal and valid?
Now that the Republicans won the HOUSE in the mid-term elections, we could witness pressure on Sleepy Joe and his son regarding all the issues which happened during Biden's role as Vice President. Did he use his office to further his own financial empire? The above video points to new evidence which reveals the corruption that occurred while Mr. Biden served as our Vice President under the Obama Administration. We may find out much more in the coming weeks and months.
My sense is that we need a better COUNTING system for our NEXT election in 2024. Did my vote even count in 2020 and 2022? My doubt is high that it was irrelevant. Did your vote count? The many drop boxes which were not monitored leave me with a BIG doubt. The mail-in ballot situation also seems like it points to questionable relevance. More evidence emerges daily. This doubt (within our electorate) also led to the documentary called 2000 mules. The issue of drop boxes shows evidence of ballot 'harvesting'.
Is it time for BIDEN to step down from his 48 years of political POWER? My sense is absolutely! The evidence is SUFFICIENT IMO to show that irregularities were HUGE in 2020 and 2022! Biden's role is not a BRIDGE to a better system IMO. Remove his 'teleprompter' and the evidence will grow. Think for yourself, however. Have a great day!

My personal sense is that the election of 2020 was mostly fraudulent/deceptive/lacking sound mathematical logic. . but nothing was proven by the official authorities (or the official media) so this left Biden with his questionable win (in my mind and millions of other American's). Here is my scenario based on my understanding of the math (is the math creditable)???:
1. Biden received a record number of popular votes, some 81.3 million out of some 160 million total (did this count represent the legal votes of the American people)? This number exceeded Obama's record of 69.5 in 2008 by some 11.4 million. Was this math creditable???
2. Biden received some 15.4 million more popular votes than Hillary's result in 2016. Was Biden's popularity within the polls supportive of this result? Was this math creditable???
3. Biden's vote total was accumulated in a record low number of counties (17%). There are over 3100 counties in the USA. Biden's vote total was won (mostly) in 509 counties (a record low). Trump won some 2,547 counties. Was this math creditable???
4. Biden's total of mail-in ballots was a record high (estimate is that 45-50% of ballots were mail-in and/or drop box ballots). A drop box bypasses the the US mail system. They are collected by unknown sources in some locals. 2000 mules revealed some of these 'dubious' sources. Was this math creditable???
5. According to 2000 mules, the 'harvesting' of ballots via drop boxes was a record (due to Covid issues). Drive-by boxes accumulated ballots from sources unknown (to the American voters). How many of these 'harvested' ballots were legal (legitimate)??? My assumption is that some 20 million ballots were (most likely) via drop boxes and/or late filings where signatures were not verified. Was this math creditable???
6. My observations were that a record number of vote watchers (observers) were restricted from providing real-time data for the media and the official counters of ballots. Affidavits were signed by these observers but nothing was done to follow-up on their sightings and observations. Video evidence also pointed to fraud and deceptive behavior (nothing was allowed to be viewed as meaningful by the official authorities). Was this creditable???
7. Some 23.5 million more votes (total) were counted in 2020 than in 2016. Vote total in 2016 was 137.5 million compared to 160 million in 2020 (a record increase). Were all these legal (legitimate) votes? Is this record vote total (the counting) creditable given that Biden campaigned from his basement (mostly)???
My Conclusions:
Am I a election 'denier'? The official media continues with their mantra that Trump is an election 'denier'. They are now blaming Kari Lake in Arizona's governors race (whom I voted for) for questioning the vote count in Arizona. Is Kari an election 'denier'? Millions of thinking American's have questions about the vote counting system. Is the math valid? Is the system reliable and legal? Are the counting tabulators and electronic machines creditable? How many votes are 'harvested' from less than creditable sources?
To question the election procedures should not be viewed as un-American IMO. If dubious candidates are serving our system (and winning) who did not EARN their position then this result should be viewed as INVALID. Wining is not creditable if the MEANS is less than valid. My personal sense is the the MATH in 2020 and also 2022 does not seem creditable. 2000 mules (this documentary) seems to support my perceptions. Think for yourself and ask yourself if we NEED a better counting system for the NEXT election.
Our official media and many pundits are laughing at election 'deniers'. But is all this a valid response to all my questions above. Was there election fraud that is being ignored with the MANTRA (no evidence found)? I, personally, think that HUGE fraud occurred and I sense that ballot 'harvesting' (via questionable drop boxes and mail-in voting) was a HUGE problem. What do YOU think? Have a great day! Am I a 'conspiracy' candidate?
My sense is that we need a NEW MODEL for the next election (2024)!

The nation of Israel was chosen by Yahweh (the 'I AM' Creator God) after the exodus from Egypt around 1400 B.C. Israel remained faithful to her God until the days of Prophet Samuel (some 500 years of allowing King Yahweh to rule over them). Some time around 900 B.C. this Prophet received word from God (YHWH) that the Israelites desired their own human KING to rule over them. This decision had serious consequences for all of Israel (the 12 tribes) going forward. The consequences are now history for all of us to discern and reflect upon.
By rejecting God (Yahweh) as their KING, they were left with this human King, called King Saul. Saul was seriously flawed and died with his sword to his belly. He committed suicide. His leadership deteriorated quickly. Later King David ruled over all the Israelites for some 40 years (somewhat successfully). Then David's son, Solomon, ruled for another 40 years (somewhat successfully). Then war and division emerged between the tribes and a spit occurred. All happened because King Yahweh had been rejected...for a human political King.
The Northern Israeli tribes (some 10 tribes) separated from the Southern tribes (some 2 to 3) around 930 B.C. Gradually, everything fell apart politically (for all of Israel) and the Temple of Yahweh (built by Solomon) was totally destroyed around 586 B.C. After some 70 years of captivity with the Babylonians, the various remaining tribes were allowed to return to Jerusalem and build a 2nd Temple to Yahweh. This lasted until 70 A.D. when this Temple was destroyed by the Romans. Today, there is no Temple!
The lesson for Israel is that rejecting their God (King Yahweh) had serious consequences and today these consequences continue in our global world of politics. Around 29 - 33 A.D. a Messiah person arrived, named Yeshua. This Jew, from the tribe of Judah, desired to re-establish the Kingdom of Yahweh (God) for all of Israel (the 12 tribes). But the authorities at the Sanhedrin continued with their rejection of this idea. They viewed Yeshua as committing blasphemy for suggesting that he was the chosen of Yahweh.
The history of Yeshua (who many call Jesus) was a sad story of rejection (by the elites) as this rejection meant that another 2,000 years of man's political rule was destined to happen (30 - 33 A.D. to 2025 - 33 A.D). The Kingdom of God (YHWH) was postponed due to this rejection. Today, we are at the END of this dispensation of rejection and at the beginning of a NEW dispensation of Yahweh's re-emergence as KING. The rule of man is soon over and the real KING of our universe is re-emerging to take CONTROL.
King Yahweh (also called our Creator God) has been ruling this planet (from behind the scenes) for all of our human history (now some 6,000 years). But people have been BLINDED to this rule as political man has been allowed to PLAY GOD since the days of King Saul. Has this rule by man been successful? I would suggest NO. Man's rule (Playing God) has not worked for the benefit of mankind. It may have been satisfactory to a few select elites, but the vast majority of mankind has been enslaved as a result.
Fortunately, King Yahweh, is now going to step into the human scene and over-rule the establishment. That is the message of Prophecy as I see it. King Yahweh (YHWH) also called HaShem, Father, Most High, Lord, Creator, and many other names/titles, will step into the human scene and INTERVENE to establish his RULE (Kingdom). This is happening subtly and relentlessly as these END TIMES emerge for our planet. The real KING of GLORY will re-emerge soon and people will finally DESIRE his rule (so it seems to me)!
King Yahweh ruled this planet from around 1400 B.C. to 900 B.C. and this produced this nation called Israel. After the exodus from Egypt, King Yahweh revealed himself to Moses and to all the people who attended his 'appearance' at Mount Sinai. What emerged were the 10 Commandments for all mankind to use as discipline for their character and moral behavior. These 10 Commandments have been taught to most of mankind...until rejected by America and the West in the 60's and 70's. The result has been catastrophic.
Our world society is now in FREE FALL and this will continue until the END. Emerging now is JACOBS TROUBLE for the 12 tribes of Israel (and the entire world). After this brief period (some seven years +-) we will experience Armageddon (the final war of man) and then the KINGDOM AGE will start. Hallelujah! The END is soon here. The Kingdom Age is the next BIG event for this planet. That is my perspective on our situation. What is your perspective? Think for yourself and give my viewpoint some reflection. Have a great DAY!
My inspired text for all this is the following (Psalms 96):
King Yahweh is LORD, FATHER, CREATOR, MOST HIGH GOD! AMAZING!
I am: Donald B. Swenson, Economist/Philosopher, donaldswenson.blogspot.com. Also, http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com.
Let's think on a few issues that could be crucial this next year (2023). The issues are the following:
1. The importance of adopting a NEW MODEL for our planet! Biden's democracy idea does not work!
2. The folly of continuing the Ukraine war situation! It produces killing/destruction continually!
3. The lack of consensus within our Congress/Government! We now live with polarization/division!
4. The Debt situation which can never be repaid (ever)! Just do your own research!
NEW MODEL NEEDED:
The key to our future as a world system is to adopt a NEW MODEL (paradigm) for governing this planet. The paradigm called Democracy is not valid as this philosophy does not lead to freedom for the majority. Democracy is merely a concept within the minds of select politicians so they can RULE over the many. Our founding fathers (Jefferson, Franklin, et al) recognized the folly of this concept called Democracy.
Democracy sounds good for our politicians but it leads to mob rule in real-time. Which nation on our planet has a system of freedom for the majority of their people? I say NONE. America is suppose to be the example of what Democracy is all about and it reveals that political Democracy is polarized decision-making. The mob that controls the levers of power MANDATE their policies for the whole (and it never works).
Biden is saying the the mid-term election saved Democracy for America. This is pure spin IMO. Democracy in America is a polarized/corrupt political system which allows select politicians to MANDATE their select ideas for the whole (all Americans). The majority is never in control and mob rule results from this concept called political Democracy. What we need for our world is a new concept/NEW MODEL.
Freedom can eventually prevail under KINGDOM rule. Our Creator needs to rule this planet and every politician needs to STEP DOWN from power. The people can then DECENTRALIZE the system and rule over themselves. This is called SELF RULE (with our Creator as the invisible overall KING). Another word for this is the Kingdom of God and or the Kingdom Age. Politicians bow out and our invisible Creator rules from the THRONE (within us). We are all spiritual beings (at the core)! Consciousness is spiritual!
Under Kingdom rule, money gets eliminated, and a mindset of GIVE (prior to receive) produces abundance for everyone. People are at the center when 'money' gets eliminated. Our planet was created for the people...not for those who manipulate MONEY for control and power. Money is merely an 'imaginary' concept of our MIND. It has no reality within our greater universe. Money was 'invented'! It was a 'tool' that worked for a season. It is now time to eliminate this archaic concept!
UKRAINE WAR:
The folly of a negative war over in the Ukraine is due to political rulers who refuse to negotiate and compromise. Fear is the motivator. Vladimir Zelensky is a big part of the problem as he refuses to even START negotiations over the security issues, NATO'S influence, Russia's Sovereignty, and territorial disputes. Putin is willing to START negotiations but Vladimir Zelensky refuses. This leads to more killing, destruction, and confusion. If the citizens of Ukraine want more and continual WAR then this is what will happen! Is it time to STOP the killing and start negotiation?
I hope that more sane thinkers will START a negotiation process as this (at least) stops the killing and destruction. Sanity can gradually prevail as compromise and logic develops among the people. There is NO winning if the status quo continues. War leads to nuclear conflict at some point. This produces global death and destruction. Is this what our politicians are promoting? I think so! It's insanity 101.
AMERICA'S GOVERNMENT:
The mid-term elections are touted as saving DEMOCRACY. What a sham (deception) on those of us who discern political reality. There is no democracy (for the people) under Biden's idea. If democracy means freedom for the individual then this is an oxymoron idea. There is NO freedom for the individual citizen (voter). What we get with Biden's democracy (or any other leader's democracy) is more control and a trend towards a UNI-POLAR world system. It's totally diabolical IMO!
What the Deep State Operators want is a WORLD GOVERNMENT with a few unelected elites running the entire planet. What a diabolical event this would be. We would all be SLAVES to a system of man that CONTROLS each of us from some POWER CENTER. How could this produce FREEDOM for the individual (impossible). What American democracy is creating is MOB RULE for the system and favoritism for the FEW. The many (you and I) become enslaved to this hierarchical system of corruption.
OUR DEBT SITUATION:
As of today, America's overall DEBT is close to 370% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Our DEBT is over $93 trillion (government and private). This does not include all the unfunded liabilities like social security, medicare, etc. Our debt situation is absolutely DIRE and its totally IMPOSSIBLE to pay off this debt. Our system demands more DEBT (not less). You can witness the numbers here: www.usdebtclock.org. The numbers reveal a story that has developed over our 245 years history. The END is now here!
America is fortunate to have the RESERVE CURRENCY for the planet. The dollar has allowed AMERICA to go further into DEBT as we purchase much more than we produce. It's totally diabolical and can not be solved. The system DEPENDS on more debt continually. Our dollar is a DEBT tool and the logic of all world currencies are now based upon issuing MORE DEBT. Endless debt and spending! This leads to inflation, defaults, special favors for the elite, and eventual COLLAPSE for the system.
CONCLUSION:
What we now need is for our citizens/the people to WAKE-UP and smell the rot. This may be uncomfortable but it is necessary if we desire to solve our problems and create a BETTER world. Biden's uni-polar world will not bring us justice, freedom, peace, or happiness. Neither will Putin's, Xi's, Trump's, or Obama's worldview bring us SALVATION. All these politicians want CONTROL (over the system) so they can IMPOSE their mindset (group think) on all of us. It's totally DIABOLICAL!
What we need is NEW THINKING. All must start with the common people as it is the common man who is being enslaved. We need a NEW MODEL which leads to FREEDOM for the common man (you and I). Our invisible KING says that this MODEL is the KINGDOM AGE. It's a model where our invisible CREATOR has ultimate authority. Man becomes an AGENT/SERVANT. Is this reality 101? I think so! Witness this video for a perception of the BIG picture.
My view is that our Earth is not the center of our universe and neither is our Sun. King Jehovah/Yahweh is actually the CENTER of our universe. Read Revelation 4 and Daniel 7 for textual evidence. Jehovah is another 'name' for our Creator. Yahweh is another 'name'. I also view Father, Creator, Ancient of Days, Most High, HaShem, and other words as valid names or titles. The Trinity concept is 'invalid' IMO. I also view my 'consciousness' as the SOURCE of my thinking/life. We all live in a spiritual universe (unknowingly)... so it SEEMS! It's all Amazing! Reality is 'discovered'...it's not known with certainty!
I am: Donald B. Swenson, Economist/Philosopher, donaldswenson.blogspot.com. Also, http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com.
Personally, I view politics as a failed/corrupt enterprise. I could not support Mr. Biden or Mr. Trump in 2024. But I listened to Mr. Trump tonight on FOX and I witnessed a great political speech for his group/clan. I think he will gain some momentum as he starts to campaign for President in 2024. His speech revealed some valid thoughts. America is in serious decline.
Mr. Trump outlined why America is declining as a Nation and why Biden's policies will lead to more decline in 2023 and 2024. I would agree with his views on America's many problems. But can Trump and his core group change America and bring back MAGA? My sense is NO. This can not happen given the STATE of America and our world.
Mr. Trump could WIN a final if his opponent is Biden, however. If Biden runs in 2024 against Trump, I would bet on Trump. But issues will be so dire in 2024 that I think many will be looking for a real SAVIOR. This savior is neither Biden or Trump IMO. We need to think BIG for 2024 and develop a NEW MODEL for the world system.
I agree with Biden's group think clan on the idea that our world is a global village which is ONE interconnected whole. We have no borders when I look at our world from the perspective of outer space. This does lead to a world system (government) of some type. The problem for our world is MAN'S rule over others. Man ruling man (I include women in this context) can not work for the whole system.
We need to think in terms of Kingdom Philosophy. Our Creator's rule is what we need. Trump may win in a man/man duel with Biden or some other democrat. But he can not succeed in bringing the world system into UNITY. This is impossible under a man/man rule system. We need our 'invisible' SOURCE to rule this planet. Who is this 'invisible' SOURCE? Let's identify this 'invisible' Source!
Let's think about reality for a minute. God is a title. Lord is a title. Father is a title. Ancient of Days is a title. Creator is a title. But what is the personal 'name' of our SOURCE (not the Title)? We have evidence that Adam (our first parent) recognized Yahweh (also called Jehovah) as his Source. Noah recognized Yahweh/Jehovah as his Source. Abraham, Moses, David, and Yeshua also recognized Yahweh/Jehovah as their Source. Is this who we need to RULE this planet?
My sense is YES. We need our 'invisible' Source to rule. Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden need to step down from rulership IMO. All the others who desire to rule over others must also step down. This would leave our 'invisible' Source as King/Ruler/God/Father/Creator. One God over planet Earth is my MODEL. What is yours? Who should RULE this planet in your opinion?
The next couple of years should be interesting. Trump's clan will most likely give Biden and his clan a 'run for their money' within our imagination (for the next couple of years). As events get more dire, however, people will start to wake up to reality. We live in a spiritual world (within our consciousness) and this means that we need to think in terms of a spiritual result for our planet. My view is that the Kingdom of God is arriving (relentlessly and continually). The Kingdom Age is what my goal centers on. What are your core beliefs? Who should rule this planet and the 8 billion people who live on this planet?
Beliefs are key to reality. If there is no Higher Authority that rules this planet, then I vote for TRUMP over BIDEN in 2024. But if there is a Higher Authority (invisible Source) then I vote for this SOURCE. One planet under our SOURCE sounds solid to me. Providence seems to agree! America was founded on the idea of ONE nation under God. Is it now time to promote ONE planet under God? I think so! Think for yourself to discern!

The 2022 mid-term elections were a complete joke IMO on those of us who were thinking logically. We thought that Biden's low approval rating would sink his democrats at the polls. What happened, however, is just the opposite (at least for now). Democrats have already won the Senate and gained (from earlier polls) in the House. It is even possible that the democrats could win the House (but this is doubtful).
Biden's approval rating on the economy is only 34%. His overall approval rating is around 37%. Thinking voters assumed that this situation would produce a RED WAVE at the mid-term elections. As of today, it looks more like a BLUE WAVE (even as more republicans voted than democrats). What happened to produce this diabolical result?
1. Independents voted (mostly) for Blue candidates (the democrats).
2. Women and the young voted mostly for Biden and his democrats.
3. The abortion issue was important to the women and the young (polls did not pick this up).
4. The economy (with inflation at a record) was suppose to be the core issue (but it wasn't).
5. Biden polices were mostly viewed as flawed and negative (for American's), yet most women and young voters did not view this as important. All this seems illogical...but that does not seem to matter in 2022.
6. Biden and his many gaffes did not change voters to vote RED (republican). Amazing!
7. Mr. Trump and his narcissism (self promotion) did not rest well with the 'independent' voters. It now appears that Trump MAGA emotion has ended for most 'independent' voters. Is he a failed candidate going into 2024? My sense is YES, Voters do not want another term for this narcissist.
8. The Big Red Wave was the State of Florida. Ron DeSantis won big and he is now viewed by most 'independents' (and many republicans) as the HOPE for 2024. Trump could be finished (even as he continues to PROMOTE himself on the internet). He does have a base (40%) which is declining over time.
Conclusion: The 2022 mid-term elections are now mostly over. The battle for the HOUSE is still happening as some 18 races are yet unsettled. It could be another WEEK before we know who won the HOUSE. A final count for the Senate will not happen until early in December. A run-off is necessary in Georgia between Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock. Walker lost in a close election which could reverse in the run-off!
My Arizona election results were a SHOCK to me. I voted RED (so as to get some change) but it now looks like the key positions will go BLUE. After six days (since the election) Arizona is still in limbo on the Governor's race. But it looks like Blue will win (in a close contest). Again it was women and the young who voted on the 'abortion' issue and a desire for more hand-outs from Biden (student loan issues, etc.).
Where does all this lead going forward? It leads to more chaos, confusion, distrust, fraud, and corruption. The election count did not give me confidence that all is well with our voting procedures. Did my vote even get counted? I have no idea. This is the situation for most voters. Personally, I have low confidence in the election SYSTEM. Nothing has improved these past 10 years.
In Arizona the tabulators broke down in some venues. Ballots needed to be printed at the polling venues as long lines waited to vote. Counting is done behind closed doors and who knows if all is kosher? Our elected authorities want everyone (me and you) to give the election process positive accolades even as confidence by voters has declined. Is the SYSTEM flawed and broken? I say YES!
Voting could be done in real-time (via our Smart Phones) and results could be documented precisely so that each voter's ballot is counted in real-time. There is no need for a SYSTEM which delays the count with unelected officials working behind closed doors (doing the counting). Voters need to start THINKING about a NEW MODEL. We have computers and technology that could make our voting system transparent for everyone. Why is this not happening?
My sense is that most voters do not THINK progressively on the issues. We need voters who will elect THINKERS (not subservient group-think followers). As of today, we have a broken SYSTEM and this means NOTHING positive will happen for the near future. More chaos, confusion, fraud, dishonesty, and corruption will CONTINUE. Shame on America! Think for yourself. The above is my point-of-view!
I am: Donald B. Swenson, donaldswenson.blogspot.com. Also, http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com.
If you listened to the interview of Whitney Webb in my prior missive, you might recognize that the battle (going forward) is between US (the common people who want freedom) VS. THEM (the political power brokers who want control over the markets and the people). This is a spiritual battle to the END. Those who govern over us will force their model upon us unless we FIGHT this worldview!
We need to recognize that criminals control our SYSTEM today (as Whitney Webb documents in the video below). The various platforms which our power brokers control will lead us to enslavement to this HIERARCHY (called the One World Government). Fascism is the model of our power brokers (THEM) and freedom is the model of the common people (US).
We have a battle for control over this planet and our political systems. Will the common people stand up and FIGHT or will they hunger down and SUBMIT to the power brokers? The battle is now obvious to me. The SYSTEM is controlled by these power brokers who operate behind closed doors to enslave the common man. A typical example is our Central Bank System. Read about this history to understand.
Our money system is a system which enslaves the common man. Our fascist political system desires to control and enslave the common man. Look at history for evidence on what is happening in real-time. Those with POWER and CONTROL do not give up this POWER and CONTROL (voluntarily). We the people must fight to change the SYSTEM so that the common man is in CONTROL.
Whitney Webb is a unique lady (only 33 years of age) who understands what has happened in our history and also what is happening today (in real-time). I rate her a 10 (on the scale of 1 to 10). We need MORE men and women who can THINK like this lady. Listen to the interview with Glenn Beck again! The message is crucial and relevant
It is now obvious that our Creator God is going to allow a FIGHT (to the END) to resolve the issues on this planet. God is invisible and works from his throne room (above)...via his spirit. We humans can receive this 'spirit' and act to create a NEW MODEL for this planet. Nothing will happen without a FIGHT for control over this planet. Do we want to be enslaved to POWER BROKERS (indefinitely) or do we want our FREEDOM to be 'individuals' (permanently)?
I say that we want our FREEDOM to be 'individuals'. This means we must ACT to accomplish this RESULT. God intervenes via his 'spirit'. This 'invisible' spirit is what should gives us COURAGE to pursue a NEW MODEL (of freedom) for the 'individual'. It starts NOW and continues until the RESULT is achieved. It may take seven years to achieve but the END goal is what I will focus upon! Hope you do likewise!
We live on a planet with some 8 billion people. As I write a FEW power brokers dominate the society and the decision-making. These power brokers can be identified as our world is now interconnected via a global internet system. We can discover these power brokers as they attempt to enslave the common man with their thinking and policies. The official MEDIA has bowed to these power brokers. We need an ALTERNATIVE media for the common man.
With the global internet available to everyone (no one as of today controls this internet). We can pursue an 'alternative' which connects those who are willing to FIGHT for freedom and the individual. Whitney Webb says that the focus should be on acting 'locally'. Act in you own area and promote a mindset of freedom for everyone. The FEW should not RULE this planet. Everyone needs to relate as EQUALS.
Some power brokers who need to be removed from POWER are the following:
1. America's political leaders who desire to perpetuate a system of control.
2. The WEST'S political leaders who desire a similar result (a form of Fascism).
3. The EAST'S political leaders who desire more control over the common man.
4. The billionaires (think of Soros, Trump, Gates, Zuckerberg, Musk, Koch, Waltons, Bezos, et al) who desire to work with the political power brokers to enslave the common man (via their various 'platforms').
5. The United Nations leaders who desire to promote a MAN as KING over this planet/society.
6. All the religious leaders who desire to PLAY GOD so their power over members/followers grows.
7. All the media promoters (guru's) who desire to force their worldview upon the common man.
After listening to the interview between Glenn Beck and Whitney Webb I was inspired to think about her message (deeply). The message is clear to me. We are in a huge/serious FIGHT over control of this planet. Whitney calls this US vs. THEM. I fully agree. To change our world system and create a NEW MODEL which works for everyone, we need to FIGHT for freedom and for justice.
As of today, our SYSTEM is heading for a ONE WORLD CONTROL SYSTEM. A few ELITES are desiring to RULE over us. This will continue as these 'elites' have current control over the corrupt SYSTEM. We the common man must change this by REJECTING their fascist ideas and worldview. Biden's uni-polar world view must be rejected. The WEST'S desire for a uni-polar control system must be rejected.
The EAST is no better. Putin, Xi, Modi, etc. want to enslave billions with their worldview and policies. Ukraine wants freedom but their leaders can not bring freedom to the common man within Ukraine. Why? Zelenskyy will rule and dominate the decision-making system. This leads to FASCISM. Democracy does not bring FREEDOM to the common man.
Democracy brings MOB RULE (a few dominate as it takes only 50.1% to rule the whole). America just held their mid-term elections. What happened? Did the common man advance his freedom? I don't think so! New faces will enter Washington and these new faces will continue the MOB RULE over America. Nothing has fundamentally changed. The SYSTEM is the problem (as Whitney Webb says).
Yes, the battle is US vs. THEM. Since God is on the throne, this spirit will help us FIGHT for our freedom and for a NEW MODEL called the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of our Creator will bring us REAL freedom and justice. The FIGHT must start NOW and continue until it ENDS! That is my worldview. Think for yourself. Are you for the 'individual' or are you with the 'power brokers' who desire to enslave?
Listen again to the interview between Glenn Beck and Whitney Webb:
I am: Donald B. Swenson, Economist/Philosopher, donaldswenson.blogspot.com. Also, http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com.
After listening to this interview for an hour, I came away with a feeling of AWE on the intelligence of this lady. Her name is Whitney Webb and she is only 33 years of age (an amazing intellect IMO). I would rate her a 10 (on a scale of 1 to 10) when it comes to understanding, wisdom, and general knowledge about reality. Listen and make up your own mind!
Take the time to listen to this interview with Glenn Beck, as moderator, as it could revolutionize your thinking on issues of world events. Whitney has also written a few books on our our corrupt/crime ridden political system and how it works in real-time. She is a spiritual icon that we all can learn from.
Whitney has hope that people will wake-up to what is happening in our world and start to act within their local area. I was especially aware as she presented her research on issues of politics, economics, and history. I was in awe at her wisdom and understanding given her age and prior life history. I would definitely want to follow her thinking as events move forward.
My sense is that people are starting to wake-up to the corruption within our world system. This lady is an exception (a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10) in that she Digs Deep into human nature as she does her research. My respect for this female (who I have never met) is high. I hope she gets a platform to express her views on the issues so many will learn what is now happening in real-time (globally).
I am: Donald B. Swenson, Economist/Philosopher, donaldswenson.blogspot.com. Also, http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com.
My sense is that the mid-term elections did not change the status quo for America. Our Congress may be mostly under the control of the Republicans (going forward) but this is unlikely to change our situation in any meaningful way...so that progress, growth, and peace can emerge. More polarization, dysfunction, and confusion is what I witness going forward.
America has many problems which can not be solved with an election. The voters do not desire to force real change as of yet. Most voters do not witness a problem (as of yet). As long as money flows to the masses and our economy fails to collapse, all will stay the same (mostly). But forces are at work to change the status quo later this year and next. The status quo will eventually change!
The Biden administration has no real support from the majority of American's (37% approval). My sense is that the Republicans also are not supported by a majority. This means dysfunction on all the important issues of politics. Our Debt situation needs to be dealt with. Our deficit situation needs to be dealt with. Our illegal border situation needs to be dealt with. And our social issues (including inflation) have no consensus (solution). Dysfunction is the result.
As I write the Dow Stock Index is down some 500 points. Interest rates are slowing the housing sector fast. People are defaulting on car loans. Soon there will be massive defaults on mortgage debt. In the commercial sector, the derivative time bomb is on edge. Some $600 + trillion in derivative debt could crash in 2023. Commercial real estate has serious problems. Office vacancy rates are excessive. Affordability has declined!
The war situation over in the Ukraine has no positive solution emerging (as of today). Putin is disliked but he, nonetheless, continues to escalate the situation with missiles and drones. The Ukraine military is trying to take back territory (with some success). But there is no consensus on a solution to this war situation. Both Putin and Zelenskyy refuse to talk or negotiate.
Europe could be in recession by the end of 2022. The same for Asia and Latin America. America could follow in 2023. As I write the inflation rate in Great Britain is over 10%. Similar for most of Europe. Interest rates continue to go up even as the world economy slows. When will the crash arrive? My sense is that it can not be far off.
Recession will lead to a greater depression (eventually) as our economy has experienced a huge BUBBLE for over a decade. Asset prices are excessive. Stock prices are excessive. Government securities have no stability. Japan (a continuing buyer of Treasuries) is now selling. I expect China and Germany to follow in 2023. This means the American dollar will decline in value and possibly disappear as the world reserve currency. Will this cause a Reset in world finance? I would think so!
Does it sound like America, Europe, Asia, Africa, or Latin America will bail anyone out? When America falls (in 2023) all the houses of cards will fall. I don't like to announce this reality but the numbers and the politics produce this negativity. See: www.usdebtclock.org for further evidence of our situation. What is needed? What should we now pursue for our world?
My sense is that we need a NEW MODEL for politics, economics, and for our social enterprise. Capitalism is essentially over. Communism can not work for the world system. Dictatorship does not work. Democracy produces mob rule. Religion has no answers. Science has no answers. Is there another Source which could intervene? My sense is YES.
A spiritual Source could and will intervene (at some point) IMO. Man is not in control of the bigger picture. We do have a Creator who could intervene. My hope is that this will happen at some point. The Kingdom Age is determined to emerge in our future. When this happens solutions will develop. As of today, however, there is NO solution to the big issues of life. We need a Higher Power to intervene. That is my view. Think for yourself.

According to my Wall Street Journal, Kyiv (Zelenskyy is the leader) does not want to negotiate with Putin (who is being called an international war criminal). This means that the WEST will continue to fund Ukraine (so says the WSJ). My sense is that this is ludicrous. More killing and dysfunction can not bring our world peace and happiness. We need leaders who are willing to put down arms and negotiate (non-violently).
Will the coming election (called the mid-terms) bring us NEW leaders with a different mindset? This is a big question as many thinkers sense fraud and corruption within our election system. The 2016 and 2020 elections were based upon huge disparities (in thinking) among the candidates who felt that voter fraud was/was not a problem. The official media portrayed the 2020 election as free of corruption even as others thought differently. My research says that nothing was proven but my sense is that huge fraud occurred.
Ballots can be manufactured (artificially) by select authorities to mask the real results by the people. This is happening all around our world as elections are manipulated by select authorities who desire to remain in POWER. Holding POWER is essential for our politicians and this leads to manipulation and corruption (behind the scenes). Ballot drop boxes are one problem. Electronic vote manipulation is another problem. Polling manipulations by select workers is another factor. Rhetorical manipulation also happens.
In 2020, I watched as dozens of poll watchers were restricted from watching the ballot counting. Thousands of affidavits were signed by poll watchers (indicating discrepancies) yet nothing was done to follow-up on this. This occurred in most States even as the authorities DENIED the counting issues. Who COUNTS the final votes is KEY to the result. Did my vote actually COUNT? Personally, I don't know! I voted but the count of my vote is unknown by me. Is this a problem worldwide? I think so!
Election manipulations happens is most nations. I read about the corruption daily. We need a SYSTEM where each vote can be followed (precisely) so that COUNTING is verified by the voters. With today's Smart Phone technology we could establish a SYSTEM where votes are recorded and counted (instantaneously in real-time). All could be done in REAL-TIME and voters could KNOW that their vote was counted properly. This is not our situation today! Counting and transparency is a HUGE problem!
Tomorrow, we have our mid-term election. Will all the votes be counted properly and honestly? I don't know as of today (November 7). I will probably know in a couple of weeks (after this election is over). Will fraud occur? Will ballot counting be honest at ALL venues? Will electronic counting be used and be honest? The desire to acquire POWER is so strong (by our candidates) that my sense is that corruption will happen! Let's review this issue in a couple of weeks! Based upon prior history I have some doubts!
The WAR issue is another issue where political POWER can change the situation. As I write the democrats are supporting Biden and his funding of Ukraine for more war/killing. Most of the republicans are also supporting the funding of Ukraine's government and military. All this leads to more war and killing of innocents. Nothing positive can happen until our leaders choose a negotiated process for settling this war situation. It's not happening as I write. We need to think in terms of NON-VIOLENCE for settling disputes!
Putin and Russia will continue countering the actions of Ukraine's military (they have no choice). Zelenskyy will continue to fight Russia for territory which they desire to own. It's a war of rhetoric and strong emotions on both sides. Putin is willing to start negotiations but the WEST and Zelenskyy say NO! Where does this lead? I say it leads to more killing of innocents and more destruction of buildings and infrastructure. There is NO end is sight! We need LEADERS who think differently! My hope is that will happen SOON!
We need NEW leaders who can start a process of non-violent negotiation. What are the problems? Who should control one's security interests? Why is NATO wanting to control the territories of the WEST? And why does the Russian Federation (and the EAST) think differently? Can a compromise be devised? Can two contenting military/political alliances work for peace and harmony for the people? Is peace possible? Our world situation is so polarized that we may need a NEW political model for the planet. That is my contention.
We need a SYSTEM which is people centered. As I write we have some 8 billion people on this planet. Borders are not relevant when I look at our planet from outer space. We have a border-less planet with some 8 billion people living on this planet. Can a NEW model, for our planet, be developed so that ALL people can live in PEACE and SECURITY? Is this possible? What do you think? Is it time to stop all the war and fighting and start to THINK on these bigger issues?
