If American Dollar Collapses will America Lose World Power/Control? Let's Speculate!

BRICS new currency will have backing. The America Dollar has been backed by 'faith' (nothing)! Nixon closed the gold window in 1971. America has ruled the world via 'faith' (image) since this time!

As I write some 24 nations have joined with the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) to form an alliance to reject the Dollar and trade with Alternative Currencies. This is the first time since the End of WWII that this type of event is occurring. Why is this happening and what will be the 'consequences' of this new trading regime on the future of America? I sense that this is hugely SIGNIFICANT!

America has had a HUGE advantage since the END of WW II because our Dollar has been the RESERVE CURRENCY for the world. The American Dollar has been allowed (favored) so as to purchase goods and services from all the 200+ nations on this planet with no real need to exchange equal VALUE with these nations. America has run a TRADE deficit since 1976 with most nations (this is allowed as Dollars have been the exchange medium with all these nations for their goods and services).

America produces Dollars (by Fiat) for exchange on the world markets by merely printing Treasury Bills/Notes and exchanging these bills/notes for goods and services. Today, the word 'printing' should be changed to 'digitizing'. We now have a digital dollar. America has not had to exchange VALUE for VALUE since the END of WW II for their consumer goods and services (those goods/services purchased from foreign nations). Essentially, America has had a FREE ride from the world so as to consume and spend (in excess) with no real need to give VALUE for VALUE (in exchange). This situation is now changing!

American's think that the American Dollar's role in world trade can continue indefinitely. But all this is now CHANGING in 2023. Russia, China, Brazil, India, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and a host of other nations (some 24) are saying ENOUGH is ENOUGH. They now witness the HUGE debts which America has accumulated mostly since the END of WW II. Many are now saying that ENOUGH is ENOUGH and the FREE RIDE is OVER for America. Also, the hegemony which America has is no longer desired!

The American $$$$$$$$$$ is now created OUT-OF-NOTHING (by Fiat) and then given to these foreign nations for their real goods and services. Trillions of dollars $$$$$$$$$$$ get created and funneled to all parts of the planet so that American's can consume goods/services which are not paid for in a VALUE for VALUE exchange. America buys fertilizer from Russia and exchanges dollars. America buys oil from Saudi Arabia and exchanges dollars. America buys furniture, apparel, and appliances from China and exchanges dollars. But what is a 'dollar' which gets created OUT-OF-NOTHING (and gets added to our DEBT hoard)? Why no VALUE for VALUE exchange?

As of today, America has a National Debt of over $31 trillion. Add the State, Local, and Consumer debt and the number is over $95 trillion. America has run a trade deficit (continually) since 1976 (not one surplus). Is this a VALUE for VALUE exchange with our trading counterparties? Is this an Apple for an Apple? A Orange for an Orange? In reality it is a NOTHING for a SOMETHING. Yes, America has done many GOOD deeds for the world. Some assume this will continue. But many nations are now thinking that our GOOD deeds are unworthy of being honored going forward (like they were previously).

America rules the oceans and uses their military might to subdue any nation which challenges their rule/control. Russia is fed up with this favoritism. China is fed up with this favoritism. Saudi Arabia is also fed up with Biden's foreign policy and the Petro dollar. Iran hates the Great Satan. Brazil, India, South Africa and a growing number (some 24 to date) are now saying ENOUGH is ENOUGH. They desire to rid the world of the favoritism which our American Dollar gets from its Reserve Currency Status. They are now wanting VALUE for VALUE when trading with America (not mere 'dollars' which America creates with the click of a computer key) and adds as a bookkeeping entry to their accumulating DEBT.

International trade is changing in 2023. The BRICS will bring a change to the American dollar and its favored status (so it seems). Will this mean that America will lose POWER and CONTROL over the world markets? I think so! America has acquired its STATUS of WEALTH, POWER, and CONTROL from their DOLLAR status. The Dollar has been the tool which has allowed AMERICA to grow and become a SUPER POWER. All this is now changing in 2023 and 2024 (and after). Prepare for a LOSS in purchasing power as the DOLLAR gets devalued on the international markets. It's happening NOW!

Biden can not stop this trend. Trump can not stop this trend. No American politician can stop this trend as the WORLD now understands our bookkeeping SITUATION. America has gained all its WEALTH, POWER, and HEGEMONY from its favored DOLLAR STATUS. The world was willing to accept this situation for these past 75 years. But the GAME is now changing and many world nations now think that AMERICA has taken advantage of this favored status. Our national DEBT is evidence. Our Trade Deficit is evidence. Our QE (counterfeiting) polices since 2008 are evidence.

The GAME is over for AMERICA and the writing is on the wall. American hegemony must wane (going forward) and this means the END of historical American WEALTH and POWER. America lives with a DOLLAR that has allowed all this prior history. This GAME is now over. We could witness a BIG change in the VALUE of the American Dollar later in 2023 and 2024. We could also witness a waning of international hegemony as this situation grows and magnifies. Who understands what is happening in front of our EYES? Who sees the consequences which are emerging?

Prepare for huge austerity going forward. America can survive with less but America can not rule the world with a devalued Dollar. American wealth will decline and American control over the world system will also decline. MONEY (the American Dollar) has allowed us to prosper, grow, and rule as an EMPIRE. America wants a UNI-POLAR world system so it can survive. But all this is changing in 2023 and 2024. The END of historical AMERICA is HERE. We now need to accept our situation and create a NEW MODEL for our planet. That is my viewpoint! Think for yourself!

www.usdebtclock.org (the evidence is here for everyone to witness)!

America now needs to learn to exchange value for value (in real terms)! Reliance on the Dollar as our Savior is over! Funny money is over! Counterfeiting is over! VALUE for VALUE is here!

Why do Monetary authorities MANIPULATE markets? Prices, Stocks, Interest Rates!

Who actually does the price manipulation is kept a secret. Is it JP Morgan? Is it the Exchange Stabilization Fund? Is it the New York Fed? Is it the Treasury? The computer algorithm (which does the dirty work) is hidden to the media and the public! But the process is well known to a few with discerning minds.

I have been watching our manipulated markets for over 15 years. The big change occurred in 2008 with electronic trading and with the emergence of digital currencies. Computers replaced real people in the setting of prices and values. Open Outcry was replaced by high frequency computers and electronic currencies. A good example of market manipulation is this commodity called SILVER.

Silver was  trading at $48/ounce in 2011 and then manipulation of this PRICE started in earnest. Computer algorithms started setting the spot price of silver and this allowed select computer venues to MANIPULATE the price (so as to confuse traders and the public). It was most likely done to create support of our DIGITAL dollar which our Central Bank now creates via their master computer (with the click of a computer key). Price manipulation is done for a reason (to fool the public and the media).

Our monetary authorities need to FOOL the traders and the public so as to give this digital (imaginary) dollar some credibility. Monetary Central Planning is done so that our DOLLAR maintains its imaginary value for purposes of international trade. Historically, the American dollar was 'tied' to a commodity (originally this commodity was silver). The definition of our DOLLAR was 371.25 grains of pure silver at its origin. Thomas Jefferson was the originator of our American Dollar's definition (back in 1785).

In 1792, the Coinage Act of our Congress officially defined our dollar as 371.25 grains of silver. The idea of Thomas Jefferson was that our Dollar must be defined in terms of something physical (real). What (after all) is a Dollar with no 'definition'? It's a mere 'number' in our imagination. It's a digital unit of consciousness. It's a virtual unit of the mind. Today, we live with an 'imaginary' official dollar. Think of our dollar as a 'number', 'name', and 'symbol' ($1.00). What is a 'number' derived from my MIND? Is it a real/material THING? NO! It's a unit of my 'consciousness'!

Our Dollar today gets created via a DECISION (of the human mind) of our monetary authority (currently the Fed). This entity is responsible for maintaining the ILLUSION that our Dollar is solid and real. But it is all an 'illusion' of our mind. In reality, our Dollar ($1) is nothing but an 'imaginary' number (within our MIND). We call this unit a digital dollar. A digital dollar is also a VIRTUAL dollar (nothing real). Our monetary authorities have chosen to manipulate our dollar (the prices) via their computer (as this is now possible). It's all done in real-time using an 'algorithm' (so as to FOOL the public).

Yes, our PRICES are manipulated continually (now since 2008). The price of SILVER is a good example as this commodity is suppressed to give traders and the public the ILLUSION that all is well with our Dollar. In 2011 the price of silver reached $48/ounce in the spot market. This price could have gone to a $100 in short order if the market were in control of the price. Today, the price of Silver should be multiple hundreds. But the PRICE is manipulated daily by our monetary authorities (using a computer algo to suppress the price).

Prices and interest rates can be manipulated by our authorities (the Fed and our Treasury) with their master computers (hidden behind closed doors). It's all done to confuse and deceive traders, investors, and the public. It's done because these authorities understand that our money unit (the dollar) is nothing (pure imagination). It's a unit of their MIND (also called their consciousness). But WHO understands money today? Few to none (so it seems). A $$$$$$ (symbol) in the computer screen FOOLS nearly everyone.

Yes, Silver is manipulated for a reason. The 10 year Treasury note is also manipulated for a reason. As I write, the 10 year Treasury note is 3.44%. This rate should be higher than the six month rate (which is now 5.05%). What happens is that the 10 year rate is crucial for setting mortgage interest rates. So what do our monetary authorities do? They manipulate the 10 year rate down on purpose. It has been done for years and FEW seem to comprehend that this rate is manipulated. It's done to help with lending on real estate (mostly).

Yes, Silver prices should be $600/ounce today (not $25). If we had a real market where prices were set by real traders, our silver price would be HIGH (say $600/ounce or more). But our monetary authorities (the Fed and our Treasury) FOOL the markets with their daily price manipulation (using a computer algorithm). It's done to FOOL and deceive traders and the public (who can not discern what is happening in real-time). The vast majority of traders and the vast majority of our media and the public can not DISCERN what is happening. This allows for continual market MANIPULATION of prices (by our monetary authorities).

Shame on the media and the public for not being discerning on monetary matters. We live with totally MANIPULATED markets (and prices). It's all done to create an ILLUSION of prosperity. In reality our digital prices are DECOUPLED from material reality (production). What is a virtual dollar (in reality)? Our house prices are virtual. Our bond prices are now virtual. Our mortgage interest rates are virtual. All our stock indices are virtual. The whole house of cards is mostly VIRTUAL (within our consciousness). The lack of understanding is amazing! I have been writing on this issue for years.

Who comprehends the ILLUSION of money? Few seem to comprehend. This allows our FED and their proxies (like select authorities within our Treasury) to FOOL the markets with their continuing price MANIPULATIONS. Today, our stock indices go UP and UP (its been 14 years since our last RECESSION). It was 2009 when our stock markets bottomed. The number was around 6,469 at the time. Today, our stock indices (the DOW) is over 34,000. Has our economy given us 525% growth since 2009? Not in real terms (based on production of goods/services). We are living an ILLUSION!

We are living with virtual/digital prices which FOOL nearly everyone. Our monetary authorities use their ALGORITHMS to manipulate prices and interest rates. It's all done via the COMPUTER (electronically). Money is created out-of-nothing and our media and our public can not discern the monetary ILLUSION. Will all this END well? I don't think so! REALITY will arrive eventually! My sense is that our authorities will LOOSE control in the near future. Computer algo's will change price growth into price decline. It could happen tomorrow. Watch and discern. We live with MANIPULATED prices which fool nearly everyone!

Prices of both silver and gold get suppressed via monetary manipulation by our FED! This has been done since 2011 (now some 12 years of price manipulation). It's all done in secret as few discern that a digital dollar is IMAGINARY! Shame on those with some monetary understanding!

POLARIZATION (our problem during the Transition to a NEW ERA)! Why?

As I mentioned in my last missive, we are now in 'transition' to a New Era for planet earth. Our old paradigm is crumbling fast and a new paradigm is emerging gradually. During the 'transition' ( happening now) we will witness MUCH polarization as people must abandon old thinking and adopt NEW THINKING. This change in thinking and psychology will be difficult for most. Human nature does not like change in human nature! This means a difficult time is ahead during this transition period. Let's cover some areas where polarization is evident as I write:

1. Economics: the transition to digital money is hugely polarizing as this change would mean a loss in privacy, liberty, and control over one's decisions within commerce (if a global digital money system is installed). The elites desire to impose this idea of digital money upon the world system. This is hugely unwise IMO. I am totally against this idea as it is unnecessary and unworkable for the longer run. Digital money produces a 'surveillance' society. This restricts freedom to choose and produces a control system upon the markets. A much better alternative is to eliminate all money (it's merely an idea within our mind) and go to Smart Phone Apps as the means of distribution of our resources. Allow our new technologies to flourish and create 'abundance' for the markets. We have the means to create a much better alternative!

2. Science: as of today their is total polarization in science on core issues of reality. The theory of Evolution (macro evolution) is crumbling as thinkers recognize that macro evolution can not deal with consciousness (life). How did life (consciousness) originate? Can a materialist model be credible as people recognize their non-material consciousness? I don't think so! The science of materialism (which created this Evolutionary theory of reality) is DEAD. Consciousness is ubiquitous and everyone with some wisdom can discern that this idea is non-material (at its core). There is NO way that 'matter' can originate consciousness. Matter is the entire basis for Evolution and the theories which most scientists have adopted since 1600 A.D. The emergence of this non-material idea called 'consciousness' will KILL all the ideas underlying this prior theory of Evolution. I say, let's forget Evolution as a valid theory and adopt a theory which makes 'consciousness' FUNDAMENTAL! Who can deny their own 'consciousness'? I say it's impossible!

3. Religion: as of today religion is totally polarized and the theories within religion are crumbling fast. Religion consists mostly of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. All three religions are in total polarization over most issues of doctrine. Is Jesus God? Is a Messiah God? Did this person from Nazareth actually get resurrected (bodily) from his grave? Did this person die and get glorified by his Father God? Did this person become part of a Trinity (of god person's)? Is this glorified person now residing at the right-hand side of Father God? What happened in 30 - 33 A.D. that is still relevant for today's religions? Is a 2nd Coming realistic? When? and Why? Is Allah and Jehovah the same God? Who has the right time-line on issues of Eschatology? What evidence does the war in Ukraine produce for prophets within Eschatology? Is a World War III on the Eschatological calendar? The issues are all over the board. Polarization is evident everywhere. My view is that a transparent challenge must emerge within Eschatology and Religion so that people can become aware and informed. This must happen if polarization is to decline over time. Education is the key to progress on this issue!

4. Politics: can our current system of global Capitalism continue given the changes which our internet world has produced. Can world wide DEBT be serviced as nations discover their inability to repay any of this debt back. Polarization is everywhere on this issue. In America a new 'debt ceiling' bill was recently passed and ALL democrats rejected this bill. This is an example of polarization on the issues of debt and spending. Biden wants more spending and debt and the Republicans want to reduce spending and debt. As of today, America's debt is much beyond repayment (now some $95 trillion when all debts are added). Debt and spending policies will continue to polarize our leaders as nothing can be done to solve this problem (short of default and collapse). My view is that we need to recognize that the prior Keynesian model of economics/money is OVER. We need a New Model for our New Era. Debt should be totally eliminated and money should be totally eliminated from our planet. These ideas of history are no longer VALID. But for the immediate time, these ideas are hugely polarizing and this is likely to continue during our TRANSITION.

5. Social Policy: our historical Constitution is now mostly invalid for a New Era. The principles within this document do not work today. The interpretations of the words do not work for today's global society. Is abortion a valid item within our Constitution? Does our Constitution advocate a Pro-life paradigm or a Pro-choice paradigm? Our citizens are totally polarized on this issue. Can 'morality' be legislated? Many would say absolutely not. Morality has become subjective and diverse within our society. Religious ideas are now mostly rejected as the foundation of morality. Scientific ideas are now mostly rejected also. Who can legislate 'morality' in today's world? My view is that this is impossible going forward. We need New Thinking on this issue. There is no 'objective' morality in today's world of religion, science, or politics IMO. All is subjective at the core. This means that New Thinking is required if our existing polarized viewpoints are to change. Who can IMPOSE morality on a nation or society? We need to recognize that human nature is SUBJECTIVE at the core. That is my viewpoint! The old paradigm is dead!

6. Geo-politics: do we all live on one planet with no borders or not? What is reality in today's world? This is a crucial issue going forward. Can a divided nation state system work as people work, live, and communicate globally via our interconnected world of the internet? Today, I can communicate with anyone on our planet via my Smart Phone. You can do likewise. What does this do for changing our prior nation state system? Can a world of 200+ nations survive as separate entities in our global interconnected world? Can a world of nation states work as everyone fights for resources and control over resources? Who prevails in a world of nations who desire total sovereignty so as to govern? Do we need a Uni-polar world system or a Multi-polar world system? This situation is producing huge polarization within the United Nations and all sovereign nations as I write. Biden wants a Uni-polar world with the WEST running the planet. Putin and Xi want a Multi-polar world with regional entities controlling the planet. Who wins? The ideas are producing huge polarization within all nations. My view is that we need a Multi dimensional system with individuals in control (not nations). Biden's Uni-polar system can not work and neither can Putin's/Xi's Multi-polar system work. We need the INDIVIDUAL in control so freedom emerges. This means that the KINGDOM Model must prevail (eventually). All the models of our politicians are INVALID and MEANINGLESS! We need to think out of the box!

7. Military issues and War: can a world of MIGHT makes RIGHT work going forward? The model of all military regimes is to use FORCE (weapons) to solve issues between nations. We see the evidence today with the Ukraine war. Russia wants to control its sovereignty and NATO wants the opposite (their control over all issues of sovereignty). The means to settle the issues are FORCE (weapons and killing). Can this type of mindset work to produce unity, justice, and freedom for the people? Does a multi-dimensional nuclear war solve anything longer term? Can killing of millions produce any real peace? The mindset of our leaders are totally polarized on this issue. Biden wants to use military means to settle the Ukraine war. Putin wants to retain sovereignty over his empire. Xi wants to add Taiwan to the peoples republic of China. It's all leading to conflict, war, and more polarization. We need a New Mindset for a NEW ERA. The only solution is to elevate our Creator to King and remote all the existing political leaders. Kingdom rule must eventually prevail if peace is to happen for the people. War must be mothballed and removed from all nations policies. Think on this idea as you watch events in real-time.

Conclusion: it appears to me that we must live with total polarization for the immediate period. The issues are complex and human nature does not like change in human nature. What is required, however, is a change in human nature. Think on this as you reflect on our POLARIZED world system!

Human nature can change is the message of history. It's not easy but it is possible! The human mind can change as events produce new thinking! Survival is key for all human beings! Human nature will change when events produce the NEED for this change! My viewpoint!

The END of the AGE! Why it's here NOW?

An Age starts and then it Ends! Are we now at the END of the AGE of Man IMO? What do you think? Is a new world system emerging?

Everyday reveals a new awareness (for me) that the end of an AGE (historical time period) is here for America and the World. The events in politics, the military, the media, science, and religion all support the view that our current system is ending and a NEW ERA is arriving. It's happening ubiquitously. I call it the end of the age! What are some events which lead me to this conclusion:

1. The global internet world is an obvious sign that our world is now ONE planet of interconnected signals and waves. The WEB is changing our world and the people are becoming aware that a NEW AGE is evolving for the planet. Do you have a Smart Phone? It is changing our world!

2. The war situation over in the Ukraine is now affecting the entire world and the outcome will change our world in permanent ways (once it is complete). War reveals the mindset of our leaders who all desire to RULE the planet via their worldview and set of policies. It's the final attempt by man to rule the planet IMO!

3. Our new technologies (computers, AI, automated production, etc.) in economics is another obvious sign that the end of money is arriving. This sign points to an end to Capitalism and the beginning of some new system of world commerce for the entire planet. Digital money is here and this leads to a new monetary system for the planet (in time). It's all happening in real-time NOW to bring us an END point to the current system. Will Smart Phone Apps replace historical money?

4. The world of religion is changing rapidly as prophecy is reflective of an end to traditional religions and the beginning of a world spiritual awakening. One GOD for the planet is emerging. One CREATOR for the universe is emerging. One Messianic environment for the entire planet has arrived. It's all happening NOW! This will bring us a new era for government, religion, science, and philosophy.

5. The world of politics is reflecting confusion and polarization in all nations on this planet. Sudan is in chaos. The Middle East is in chaos. China wants to reclaim Taiwan. Russia is being sanctioned and rebuked. Ukraine desires to join NATO. Biden wants to create a uni-polar world even as China/Russia desire a multi-polar world. The world of politics points to an END of the prior world order and the beginning of some type of NEW world order. It's all happening fast and furious!

6. The world of science is in a state of confusion. The prior 'materialist' worldview of science is crumbling and vanishing. The ideas around issues like 'consciousness' are destroying the 'materialist' worldview of science and Western Philosophy. The scramble for unity is producing division in most areas of science and education. Evolution is rejected by many as there is no solid premise for the 'origin' of life from matter. What is the meaning of evolution if 'life' is not created within their 'materialist' paradigm. It has no future!

7. The world of our media is changing and becoming diverse. Tucker Carlson gets fired by Fox for his views on issues of politics. Don Lemon gets fired from CNN. Trump gets banned by Twitter. New social platforms get formed so that alternative news can get promoted. Biden is confused and out-of-touch with reality. Unity within all social platforms is difficult to maintain. I now avoid most official news channels and seek out alternative sites for issues on reality.

8. The world of sports also points to an end of traditional systems. Sports Portals are now used to channel talent to all areas of the planet. European talent competes with America talent in basketball, football, soccer, and tennis. Athletes travel the entire planet to express their talents for the public. One world is emerging in sports and entertainment.

9. Borders are being ignored by many as the planet is now the venue for everyone. America can not monitor their borders going forward. Europe can not control their borders. Same goes for Africa, Latin American, and Asia. People desire to live where they please and ignore official borders and immigration policies. Our world is becoming one global VILLAGE. It all points to a new paradigm for our planet.

Conclusions: our world is coming to an END as the current systems no longer are relevant for the people. Gradually, we will witness a fight for a NEW system and a NEW worldview for this planet. My spiritual worldview is based upon the ideas of a Creator God. Others who view reality in a materialistic manner will derive a different worldview for our planet. My worldview says that the Kingdom of our Creator will be the final viewpoint that prevails. Others will promote a secular worldview of man coupled with artificial intelligence. Agenda 2030 is the worldview of our Western politicians.

What prevails is uncertain and no-one really knows how events will play out. We all live in the NOW and act with a subjective/uncertain viewpoint. Strong men will attempt to FORCE a worldview on the many. Those of us who prefer individual freedom will attempt to persuade the marketplace with words and avoid all forms of FORCE. What will prevail will happen over time as people learn, grow, and change. For me, the KINGDOM is my vision for our planet. You will need to do your own homework on all these issues of life. Have a great day!

The Kingdom of our Creator is a reality for those of us with a spiritual perspective on issues of life. Consciousness is part of our 'spiritual' realm and consciousness points to a spiritual endpoint for this planet. Man's rule ends and God's rule emerges. It all happens without 'observation' or full awareness (so it seems to me)! Amazing! Watch, wait, listen, and experience the change!

EVIL: Where does it originate from? Who is ultimately responsible? Amazing!

Opposites in language suggest that both good/evil are necessary for human development! But who is the ultimate source that allows/originates both good and evil on planet earth?

While in college I took a philosophy class and the first real discussion topic given for consideration was the idea of EVIL as presented in the book of JOB. JOB is a spiritual book which many scholars think might have predated all scripture. No-one really knows for sure. The message of JOB is very serious and also very complex and confusing. But I read this scripture many times to get my core beliefs on this issue of EVIL for my philosophy class. Do we have evil on this planet (now) and who is ultimately responsible for this reality? Let's discuss a few questions which emerged from my reading this scripture called JOB:

1. Did Job have 'freewill' during his experiences with evil (during his lifetime). Job 1:6 says that "Satan was among the sons of God (in heaven). Satan was evidently a 'son' of God. Satan, apparently, goes to and fro on planet earth" and plays a role within God's overall Sovereignty over this planet (so it seems). My interpretation is that Job (a righteous man/relatively speaking) was given his experiences with evil as a test from our Sovereign God (Yahweh). The message is clear, to me. Satan is an 'agent' of our Sovereign God (Yahweh) and operates with the permission of this Source. Satan can DO (only) what God allows and nothing more. Job did not have the 'freewill' (apparently) to reject this test from God Almighty. The message for mankind today is that God is responsible for EVIL and evil is a test for man to overcome. Ultimately, however, redemption comes after the TEST is complete. Job 42:10. Amazing information!

2. Did Job desire this test from God so he could learn more about this Sovereign King of our universe? The message in scripture is that Job did not desire this test but he did (eventually) survive the test which God allowed (and he also learned from the test). Satan was, apparently, an 'agent' of God during this entire process/ordeal. Satan could not choose the punishment of Job. God allowed this 'agent' (Satan) to inflict Job with boils and dire skin issues so he could learn about the REAL Sovereignty of this God who rules over planet earth. Job was a proxy (so it seems) for ALL of us to learn from. The message is that a Sovereign God (Yahweh) rules over both GOOD and EVIL on planet earth. We humans must learn from these 'opposites' which emerge within our language and our experiences. Ultimately, the test is meant to bring us spiritual growth, wisdom, and understanding. God is our Potter and we (me/you) are the Clay!

3. The philosophy of Christianity recognizes evil as originating with Satan. Judaism views evil as originating with God. The view of Christianity is partially valid IMO. Yes, Satan, does inflict mankind with evil influences and evil outcomes (experiences). But the flaw within Christianity is that this theology omits/rejects the ULTIMATE cause for evil (God Almighty). Christianity attempts to resolve the issue of evil by viewing evil as the sole responsibility of Satan. Satan is against God and chooses his rulership independent of God. This mindset is clearly rejected in the scripture of JOB IMO. The source of EVIL (in JOB) is ultimately derived directly from God Almighty (Yahweh). Satan is merely an AGENT of God (Yahweh) not the ultimate SOURCE. Satan can DO (only) what God allows and permits. This places the actions of Satan as being subservient to God and I would suggest an 'agent' of God.

4. So what is the purpose of Satan in the scheme of human history? I would suggest that Satan (also called the Prince of Darkness) is acting so as humans can grow in knowledge, understanding, and spiritual wisdom as we experience reality in the NOW. Satan will create an 'opposite' to any thought and/or concept (of the mind). This 'opposite' is meant to confuse and also make me/you think about the consequences and the meaning of our behavior. Ultimately, God is our Potter (originator) of all thoughts and behavior. God is the LOGOS who creates/originates the 'words' which we think with. Adam and Eve were created by God (Yahweh) and after the physical creation God breathed his 'spirit' (consciousness) into them. They then became human. This creation was dual in that the BODY gets created first and then the MIND (consciousness) follows. Words then 'appear' within my/your mind (consciousness) for construction into experiences/behavior. Both 'good' words and 'evil' words will appear within our consciousness. I must learn from these experiences (words) and grow in discipline, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. It's all meant for spiritual human development over time.

5. How can God be the Source of evil? The Christian God is 'all good' (this is their theology). Christian theology tries to maintain the idea that God is total LOVE and GOODNESS. This mindset is promulgated in their teaching and theology. I was brought up with this theology. Judaism, however, does not have this mindset. Orthodox Judaism (from which Christianity supposedly started) has the mindset that God is the SOURCE of every thought/concept/idea (all opposites). The WORD, in Judaism,  originates with God (who is our Logos). Christianity, however, has created a theology where the Logos is Jesus (the glorified Jesus) and they then maintain that Jesus is God (now and also while living on our planet). Some denominations separate Jesus from God the Father and others maintain that Jesus is the only God/Creator/the Almighty. This Trinity doctrine is meant to exalt this human Jew to Deity status (after his death and glorification). Others who espouse the Jesus Only doctrine will maintain that there is only one God and this God is Jesus (an illogical viewpoint IMO). How can a prior human being (Jew from Nazareth) be both God and fully human simultaneously? Impossible in my view of logic and history. Think on this!

6. Is Jesus (this human being/Jew) God Almighty/our Creator? My viewpoint says absolutely NOT. Jesus (called Yeshua during his lifetime...as he was Aramaic) did not pray to himself while on this planet. He did not worship himself while on this planet. He did not portray himself as the God of Israel to his followers. The reality is that Jesus/Yeshua was baptised (as a human being) and then he was anointed by Father God (Yahweh) after coming UP from his dip into the water. He did not view himself as Yahweh God during his lifetime. He prayed to his God (Yahweh), he worshiped his God (Yahweh) at the Temple in Jerusalem, he viewed his God as Greater then himself, he tried to do the WILL of his God while on this earth, he recognized that his talents were derived from his God, he elevated his God (Yahweh) on many occasions as he lived his life. Jesus was totally a SERVANT of Yahweh God and he was exalted (when he died) to the right-hand side of his God (by his God/Yahweh). His role/ministry (now) is to act as a High Priest to those who desire additional connections with the God of Israel (Yahweh). The real God of history is Yahweh/Father who many also call Jehovah God. Is it time to wake-up to the reality of our REAL GOD?

7. Are today's events on this planet derived from our singular God (Yahweh)? My sense is absolutely! I operated 'at effect' on this planet (now). I propose that you operate 'at effect' on this planet (now). We all operate 'at effect' and most do not know this. Many assume that they have total 'freewill' to do as they please (always). I would suggest that this is not reality. In reality, I operate 'at effect'. This means that I can not play God on this planet. I do not have the capability to PLAY GOD. I assume that you and all our politicians must submit to this reality also. We ALL operate 'at effect' and our CAUSE is Superior to us. The LOGOS is superior as the Logos rules this planet with his WORDS. Words create behavior and human action. No one can flaunt the AUTHORITY of the LOGOS. The Logos is the ultimate CAUSE of all human action on this planet. Both GOOD and EVIL derive from this LOGOS. Today, we witness MUCH evil (lies, deceptions, crimes, and bad behavior). Our situation is DIRE as evil is rampant and ubiquitous. We all need to recognize the SOURCE of evil and turn to this SOURCE (God the Father) for redemption. That is my viewpoint! Think for yourself on all these difficult issues of theology/reality. The above is totally MY viewpoint!

What is the viewpoint of orthodox Judaism on the issue of Satan's role in our universe! Tovia Singer, Rabbi, provides some insights on this issue within Judaism's theology! Who was Satan and who is Satan today? Can Satan flaunt the desires of Almighty God?

End of BIDEN is here: Kennedy24.com is the website! Let's Watch!

Yesterday, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., announced his candidacy for President of the USA. This announcement will lead to the END of the Biden administration IMO. Robert is 69 years old and he has already garnered some 14% of the potential electorate. His name and candidacy should give him some momentum. Let's watch this development as I do view him as a positive for America.

I predict that his candidacy will grow to over 50% in a few months. Many independents and moderates will support this Kennedy when they compare him to Joseph Robinette Biden. The END of Biden is here IMO. I am not giving my full support to Robert at this point but I am viewing his candidacy as a positive for America. His father and uncle were well known to me.

Robert is an anti-vaccine person who likes American freedom and independence. Robert is against the Wall Street crowd and those who desire to rule from the BIG corporate enterprises so as to gain favor with our politicians. His instincts are much superior to the Biden crowd and/or the Trump crowd. I am hoping that Robert will get some support and traction as he starts his campaign for President.

The uncle of Robert was John F. Kennedy, our 35th President. John was assassinated in 1963. A sad day for America when this happened. I was in Japan on board a Destroyer ship at the time of John's death. I mourned for John as he was a leader who desired to end the Vietnam War. But his assassination was tragic and maybe it was part of our Deep State corruption at the time. No-one knows who the real killer was.

Then in June 1968, the father of Robert, Jr., was killed in Los Angeles, California. Was it the CIA that was behind this death? No-one knows the real story. Both the death of John and Robert, Sr. were tragic deaths for America. Then another death in 1968 was that of Martin Luther King, Jr., a Baptist minister. His death was also a story that pointed to political corruption at the highest levels. 

Martin, John, and Robert, Sr. were all leaders with a vision for America. Since their passing America has been in collapse mode. We lack leaders with a vision. I am hoping that the son of Robert, Sr. will add some vision to the coming election debates. We need vision or the nation will perish!

All this tragedy from 1963 to 1968 produced the start of America's downfall. Today, America is in collapse mode and another Kennedy is pointing out the problems within our political system. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has the right rhetoric on many issues. His website says the following:

It is about changing a system in which perfectly decent people become agents of corruption without even knowing it.

The blizzard of misinformation that is now inundating our democracy will end only when the government and the media start telling the truth to Americans.

- Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

We are going to remake public institutions to serve the public. We will roll back the secrecy and make government transparent. We will protect whistleblowers and prosecute officials who abuse the public trust.

www.kennedy24.com

The above rhetoric reveals a mindset which I can support. At least his candidacy will bring some balance to the 2024 Presidential debates. I wish him the BEST. Our nation is in collapse mode. Think for yourself on all these issues.

Breaking News: Putin establishes 800 km boundary line in Ukraine! Putin's Boundary is Final!

 

The breaking news today is that Putin has established a boundary line of some 800 KM long running from Luhansk to Crimea. Details are sketchy as of this missive. My sense is that this is a FINAL boundary line which Russia will defend and view as part of greater Russia.

The war is now in its final timeline. Russia has identified the territory which it needs and wants. Ukraine can accept this ultimatum and/or escalate. What will they do?

The King over planet Earth 🌎!

 

Rabbi "Tovia Singer" on issue of WHO is our God!

APRIL 18, 2023

Watch this Rabbi expound on the theological issue of who is our God/Creator.

The most important issue within philosophy pertains to the LOGOS. Who rules this planet?

I have done my study on this important issue. My conclusion is that Father God is Yahweh. Yahweh rules our planet and our universe.

My scriptural evidence comes from Isaiah, Daniel, Genesis, and Revelation. The behavior of this Jew from Nazareth (while living on our planet) is also strong evidence on this issue.

Yeshua’s character and behavior reveals his mindset. He was a Jew who desired his God to be KING. He prayed to his God. He desired to serve his God. He was anointed by his God. His Ministry focused on promoting the Government (Kingdom) of his God.

Tovia is an Orthodox Jew who is motivated to Evangelize Christians. My sense is that he may be part of the endtime Evangelists who make up the 144,000 prophesized in Revelation.

Give him some credence on this issue of WHO is our God! Do your own study.

This song helps me to focus on the God of Israel. Jehovah is another word for the God of Israel (Yahweh). Many believers also use the title, FATHER, for this God of Israel. The important point is that a human being (say Yeshua/Jesus) can not be our Creator God! Yeshua can be our High Priest, however, as he sits at the right-hand side of Father God. This position of authority is significant but it is not a position which places the glorified Yeshua as equal with our Creator God (the God of Israel). There is no equal when it comes to the God of Israel!

History confirms my Mother's Philosophy on Spirituality/Reality! Why?

Mother Elsa looked very similar to the female in white (her sister). Elsa's mother is to the left of this sister. Elsa's brother is likely the male in this picture. Elsa's aunt is likely the person to the right of this sister in white. I was unable to bring up a picture of Elsa on my computer. 

My mother had a major influence on my thinking (even today) and her experiences were very meaningful (to me) when I think of reality in the NOW. Mother, Elsa, came to America from Sweden in 1938 and then got married in 1939. She went back to Sweden (with my family) when I was 4.5 years old (1947) and I returned with mother Elsa in August of 1948 to Roseau, Minnesota. At the point of return a major event happened. This event was key to the theology of my mother.

What happened is that my younger brother died on August 10, 1948 (soon after returning from Sweden). The diagnosis by our doctor (at the time) was diphtheria. Within a couple of years (after her son's death) my mother got so depressed (mentally) from this ordeal that she had a major mental breakdown and nearly died. The death of Richard (her youngest son) was dramatic/crucial...as she thought the doctor had mis-diagnosed his health situation. Richard's diagnosis of diphtheria turned out to be negative (but this result emerged AFTER his death). 

So did Richard die from diphtheria or was her diagnosis of a severe cold the correct diagnosis (after the fact)? Elsa was absolutely convinced (in her mind) that Richard had died from a reaction to the penicillin shot (he must have been allergic to penicillin) is my conclusion as of today. She rejected the doctor's diagnosis of diphtheria as the throat swaps ended up being 'negative' when they finally arrived (after the death of Richard). This situation gradually produced her MENTAL depression and near death experience around 1950 (Elsa was 39 or 40 years of age at the time).

The confusion (over this family ordeal) created this mental depression and near death experience for my mother. But what happened during this mental depression? Elsa had a visionary experience with the 'glorified' Jesus/Yeshua (so it seems). My mother claimed that this visionary experience (with the glorified Jesus) saved her life and helped her recover from her mental depression (amazing situation). Mother Elsa used this experience as her core belief while I was a young child. This experience produced her love for gospel singing and her love for Jesus (the glorified Jesus) and this spiritual reality within our heavenly realm.

So what does all this history suggest for me? My sense is that the 'glorified' Jesus was a reality which produced her salvation from death. As she recovered over the years her theology emerged strongly. Elsa was not doctrinaire in her beliefs but she was convinced of her experience with Jesus. Yes, the 'glorified' Jesus was her core belief. But she also believed in the reality of Father God. She sang gospel songs regularly and her favorite was the Lord's Prayer (our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name). This song represented her strong belief in BOTH the glorified Jesus and Father God.

The idea of a Trinity or the idea of the Hypostatic Union (concepts within Christian theology) were not part of her theology. She just recognized the 'glorified' Jesus as real and the God of this 'glorified' Jesus as also real. When I talked to her about the God of Jesus (whom she viewed as God's son) she acknowledged my view that the Father was God (she never viewed Jesus as the ONLY God). She viewed Jesus as the 'son' of God (in some manner) and she viewed his reality as being 'glorified' (next to the Father) as being real. Did mother Elsa have some valid reality to her beliefs? I think so!

So is this growth evidence over these past 2,000 years...that this Jew from Nazareth was really 'glorified' around 33 A.D. (at his passing) valid history? Was he a new creation bodily and spiritually as his Father God saved his soul from permanent death on the tree? My sense is absolutely. Yeshua/Jesus was actually 'glorified' at the point of his death at Golgotha. It was his Father God (whom he called Yahweh at the time) who saved his soul and produced his 'glorified' status. This Jew then ascended to his Father God and was presented with a new ministry role for his continuing history.

This 'glorified' Yeshua/Jesus has (since) appeared millions of times to select believers on our planet. My mom received this 'appearance' (in vision form) around 1950. My sister received a similar visionary 'appearance' (which completely changed her life) around her age of 20 +-. I have witnessed dozens of friends and relatives who claim similar visionary experiences of this 'glorified' Jew which resulted in changed lives. Today, I listen to many new believers who are experiencing this 'glorified' Yeshua/Jesus in their consciousness (mind). The number continues to grow. Are all these believers DECEIVED and misled? I don't think so! There is a spiritual realm within our consciousness which few seem to discern!

My sense is that these millions of Jesus believers really did experience this 'glorified' Jew (now at the right-hand side of the Father in heaven). They are not deceived and they are not deluded. This 'glorified' Jew is living and active (now)...with his ministry...from his position of authority in the heavens. This is evidence to everyone with wisdom that this 'glorified' person is alive and active in the NOW. My view is that this 'glorified' person is essentially a High Priest for God. He is not God Almighty but he is a 'glorified' High Priest with a continuing ministry. Is this a reality for you?

You will need to think on this HISTORY(for yourself) to discern if any of these ideas are valid. My view is that billions of new believers (since 33 A.D.) give credence to the viewpoint that this person is ACTIVE and PRESENT in the NOW. How could so many new believers emerge without some CAUSE which produces this growth? Going from 20 core believers to 2.6 billion is significant. What do you think. Did my mother have her reality based on sound principles or not? I think she left me with sound principles. Think for yourself as you digest these stories of my lifetime.

My great aunt and my mother's aunt started the tradition of singing gospel songs for the public. Listen to this song for some history!

New UNICOIN (U) has fatal flaws! Will it evolve into Mark of the Beast?

Darrell Hubbard is the genius behind the invention of the Unicoin. Does he understand what he is doing? The photo consists of a few of his associates who desire that this token become global.

Our monetary elites are wanting a Digital currency for the entire world. The current iteration is this UNICOIN which is being promoted by the Digital Currency Monetary Authority. This currency was launched on April 10 in Washington D.C., headquarters of the IMF (International Monetary Fund). It is meant to replace any weak currency (first) for international trade purposes. It will then evolve into the one and major currency for the planet. This seems to be the marketing program being developed as I write. 

See: www.dcma.io.

This currency has many flaws but all this does not mean that it won't get issued and promoted. My sense is that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will back this digital coin and select Central Banks may also back this digital coin for the marketplace. It could eventually turn into the coming Mark of the Beast financial system which is prophesied in scripture (Revelation 13 and 18). But what do I envision as the fatal flaws of this artificial creation by our computer elites within our banking community:

1. The currency is called the UMU (universal monetary unit). It's symbol is U (with two dots above). It is being created as a computer image (virtual unit) with no backing of gold or some element from nature. Essentially, it is a 'number' that will compete with all the other 'numbers' (called floating currencies). This makes it a unit of nothing (but it can serve as money within our 'imagination'). This is fatal flaw #1.

2. The UMU (Unicoin) is being marketed as a commodity currency (a play on words). In reality, it is not a commodity but an electronic number which trades on the computers of this world as money. It gets traded as a virtual unit of nothing but it does reside within our consciousness (and within cyberspace). This makes it viable for the marketplace of citizens who live within their consciousness. A fatal flaw #2.

3. The unit is meant to be a 'payment' currency for goods and services which are traded internationally. Central banks and governments will use this currency to serve as a GLOBAL RESERVE CURRENCY. Today, the dollar and the euro are the main reserve currencies on our planet. But the dollar is not liked by many countries and maybe this Unicoin can replace the dollar in time (say in a couple of years). Fatal flaw #3.

4. The Unicoin (U) will be put into distribution by select Central Banks. Our FED would need to support this unit if it is to get off the ground. Will our FED support this digital unit as an international reserve currency? My sense is YES. The coin is designed to assist all our Central Banks as they trade in our global marketplace. It will get special favors so that governments adopt this currency for their RESERVES. Some countries will likely reject this invention. Fatal flaw #4.

5. The coin (a token in the computer screen) will trade with our current 'dollar' (the reference point for the coin's value will be the American dollar). This makes the coin 'tied' to the dollar and many governments may not like this. Russia may reject this coin. But the acceptance of the coin will grow if the WESTERN central banks adopt the coin as a viable international reserve currency. Any rejection, however, makes the coin questionable. Fatal flaw #5.

6. The coin will be offered at PREMIUM rates (some 5% over the existing FX rates). This may help it to get off the ground (especially if the IMF backs and markets this coin to the world). The idea is that this coin will be offered at continuous 'premium' rates so that all countries will desire the coin for their trading and reserves. It is not being marketed as LEGAL TENDER but it will be marketed as a PAYMENT currency (a play on words). Fatal flaw #6.

7. The coin is meant to replace physical GOLD as a reserve store of value. Confidence will be key to getting this coin off the ground. Our FED, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, and the Peoples Bank of China will need to support this coin and its MONETARY AUTHORITY. It's designed so that it could REPLACE all fiat currencies in a period of time. Citizens could trade in the currency and save in this currency. In time it could evolve into the Mark of the Beast currency. I will watch the development. It is not really a store of value. Fatal flaw #7.

8. There are some 190 countries which are members of the IMF (International Monetary Fund). The design of this digital coin could result in the replacement of all global currencies in time (say a couple of years). If this were to happen then it would become the Mark of the Beast currency. Prophecy would be vindicated. My sense is that this may be its eventual destiny. It's not going to work, however, IMO. It has many fatal flaws.

The currency is 'imaginary' and it is being INVENTED to fool the public and the world community on issues of money. It is not really a commodity (like gold or silver). It is an artificially created invention of the mind which circulates in cyberspace (our computer networks). The unit was derived from the 'consciousness' of Darrell Hubbard, a computer geek who lives in California and North Carolina. 

🚨 (10 April) During the International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings 2023, the Digital Currency Monetary Authority (#DCMA) announced their official launch of an international central bank digital currency (CBDC) called Universal Monetary Unit (#UMU) symbolized as ANSI Character #Ü.

🌍 UMU strengthens the monetary sovereignty of participating #centralbanks and complies with recent crypto assets policy recommendations by the #IMF.

💰 UMU can transact in any legal tender settlement currency and functions like a #CBDC to enforce banking regulations and protect the financial integrity of the international banking system.

👩‍💻 Banks can attach Swift Codes and bank accounts to a UMU digital currency wallet and transaction SWIFT-like cross-border payments over digital currency rails completely bypassing the correspondent banking system at best-priced wholesale FX rates and with the instantaneous real-time settlement.

🌐 UMU can be configured to operate according to the central banking regulations of each participating jurisdiction, adopting a global localization public monetary system architecture.

The flaws of this currency are potentially fatal (in time). The unit is a mere invention of the mind with no grounding in material reality. It derives from consciousness and it will 'float' in cyberspace as an electronic unit. Everyone will eventually be offered this token (virtual coin) as their legal tender for all goods and services on the planet. My sense is that it will BECOME the Mark of the BEAST (in time). Think for yourself and follow the implementation of this invention of Darrell Hubbard and the global financial elites.
