My 'living in the NOW' changed my THINKING dramatically!

Back in 1975 I read a book by Carl Frederick, a psychologist, who advocated the concept of NOW (as reality). He asked the reader to lay down on the floor and think, think, think. What emerges? All that emerges is NOW and successive moments of NOW. The NOW is what I witness when I think (within myself). My consciousness is always living in the NOW. This concept is deep but easy to accept.

The idea that Carl advocated was the concept BEING (first), then DOING (next), and then HAVING (the result/the experience).  Carl said that most people think in the opposite. Most say that they desire to Have (first), then Do (next), then Be (the end point). This concept of Be, Do, Have vs. Have, Do, Be is key to thinking differently. Carl called this being at CAUSE...not Effect. Most everyone lives 'at effect' (said Carl) and this is ass backwards (according to him).

I bought into this idea of Carl and it changed my thinking. Later I read the Power of Now, by Echart Tolle. This book cemented my belief that the NOW is all we have (in reality). Both Echart and Carl were influential in changing my thinking and this created new benefits for my BEING. Today, I recognize clearly that I live in the NOW continually. My mantra is NOW and successive moments of NOW. Let's review some changes which develop as a result of this change in my thinking:

1. The so-called Past and/or Future becomes meaningless. There is no Past when I accept the NOW as reality. There is no Future when I accept the NOW as reality. I think in the NOW continually and I recognize that the NOW is all I have. I was born in the NOW. I then started thinking in the NOW. I dream in the NOW. Basically, I live continually in the NOW from birth to death. Most people seem unaware of this reality. Most assume that a PAST is reality...a Future is a reality. Most ignore the NOW! This ignorance produces illusion, confusion, and deception IMO.

2. The concept of Time becomes an 'invented' concept of human origin (not  fixed reality). Time becomes a NOW experience (always/continually). Time becomes an invention of the human mind (consciousness) which I use to give me regularity and order. It becomes imaginary in nature as it has no power over my daily experience. My thinking is that 'time' evolved from prior human thinking (say with the Sumerians or the Egyptians). It's purpose is to give us regularity and order.

3. The idea of Macro Evolution becomes a delusion when I think and live in the NOW. There is no Ape to Man evolution (in the Now). There is no dog to horse evolution (in the Now). There is no fish to frog evolution (in the Now). The entire premise of Macro Evolution is this concept that TIME is real and that the PAST is reality. In reality (when I accept the NOW as reality) the Past and the Future become an illusion/delusion/deception. All my prior Past is really a NOW experience (within my NOW memory). All my prior thinking of a Future is really a NOW experience (within my NOW memory). NOW replaces this idea of a Past/Future. Try to escape NOW (it's totally impossible)!

4. The concept of millions/billions of years of Evolution (to create today's person/human being) becomes ridiculous and meaningless. This idea that LIFE started with a living cell (bacteria) some 4.2 billion years in the past becomes meaningless. Educators who espouse this nonsense become fools and charlatons. Who can accept this idea of a PAST when we all LIVE in the NOW continually (always)? It's delusion/myth/deception. Reality must be interpreted based on a NOW reality as the core concept. My Consciousness/Mind is always living in the NOW. I assume you live in a similar manner. 

5. If this is valid thinking (and I think that it is) then we need to develop our worldview based on a NOW mentality. Can anyone LIVE in the past or the future? I say impossible. I live in the NOW from birth to death. I think you do the same. My consciousness is life and this concept implies that LIFE is eternal. There is NO origin of LIFE. Life is a concept of God's consciousness and I am part of this universal/eternal consciousness. You are also. Who can escape the Now so as to enter some Past that never arrives and is not experienced. 

6. I reflect on my NOW memories (which some call the past) and these memories give me some subjective history to contemplate. But all this is a NOW experience (always). I can also reflect on some anticipated future (in the NOW) but this is merely a subjective anticipation of some event that is uncertain. My LIFE is lived in the NOW and this makes the NOW a reality which affects my thinking and my worldview. This concept is core to my worldview!

7. Finally, I now recognize that living in the NOW gives me a new perception of this Higher Power which I call God. God, for me, is our universal consciousness. God is our Potter. God lives in the NOW as I/You live in the NOW. My perception is that each living person has the same reality. We all live in the NOW and our consciousness lives within this UNIVERSAL consciousness which I call GOD. Our real relationship is with this Higher Power who controls our consciousness...our Being. 

Yes, reality is different when I live and think in the NOW. Fear subsides and Hope emerges. How can I live negatively when the NOW is all I have? Yes, I still have some negative experiences but these experiences are accepted as reality that is meant to b e. I cannot ESCAPE reality (the NOW) and this means that I must accept whatever happens in the NOW. My spin is mostly positive as this allows me to live more productively in the NOW. I accept the negative as that which is meant to be! That is my point-of-view. 

This video may confuse at first. But listen and think about your own experiences to discern the message. Lesson TWO is especially valid. I now view my 'consciousness' as the source of my being (not my brain or mind). My thoughts and concepts originate within my 'consciousness'. Thoughts and concepts are secondary to my consciousness. Consciousness (ultimately) is part of God's Higher eternal Consciousness. This gives our Potter ultimate relevance.

Divine Intervention: was this what happened with Trump on July 13?

The Reputlican National Convention, Milwaukee, is now over. I listened to dozens of speakers who viewed the assassination attempt on the life of Donald Trump as a miracle from God Almighty. The viewpoint of many was that Divine intervention saved Donald from the assassin's bullet. And when Donald gave his acceptance speach last night, he also viewed God as having intervened to save his life. Why?

If this is valid logic, then it must mean that God's intervention (via an angel) will also determine who will govern America come November 5. Many speakers at the podium seemed to think that God is not finished with Trump and this is why they think that Divine intervention happened on July 13, at Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was shot in the ear (missing his skull by a millimeter). All this is assumed to be because there was Divine intervention. Amazing!

If this logic is valid, then I would assume that Donald Trump is destined to be our next (47th) President in November. Biden cannot overcome the WILL of God Almighty (can he?). If Trump is selected by God to be our next President, then this must happen (as God is our real Sovereign over planet Earth). The election of 2024 in America must be determined (given these assumptions). Trump will win and Biden will lose. Why? Because it is God's WILL. This logic seems to follow IF there was actual DIVINE intervention. What do I believe?

My belief is that the consensus view that Trump's life was saved by Divine intervention is valid thinking. God rules this universe/planet and his WILL is Sovereign over all other wills. Trump may be destined to win this election on November 5 and then continue to implement his policies for America (so that God's plan is advanced). So what are the core policies of The Donald (as espoused in his acceptance speech last night)? The core policies are the following:

1. Cancel most of the executive orders of Biden and implement new orders. Finish the WALL on our Southern border is key to stopping illegal immigration. This will be a first day order for Trump.

2. Cancel the order of Biden to advance electric vehicles over gas fired vehicles. Trump wants to promote all vehicle types for Americans to choose from. He claims Biden has restricted choice with his climate change policies.

3. Start a motion so as to LOWER taxes for Americans. Then start a policy of 'drill baby drill' so America can be energy independent. This will lower gas prices and create a new growth for the American economy (so Trump thinks). America will produce more growth and then start to pay-off the National Debt (now nearly $36 trillion). 

4. Trump will implement the biggest 'deportation' policy in US history. Millions of illegals (now residing in America) will be found and then 'deported'. This policy will start on day one and continue until all illegals are deported.

5. Discord and division in America must be healed quickly. Our fate involves a shared destiny (says Trump). Trump said we must not criminalise dissent and/or demonize disagreements. He now wants to broaden the appeal of Republicans so that a huge majority supports his administration.

6. America must not promote war as their main policy (inferring that this is what the Biden administration is doing). Trump thinks he can end the current wars in Ukraine and Gaza. America will punch back (against their enemies) only if seriously threatened. This means growing the military and building a DOME over America.

7. Trump will start to build a DOME system over all of America so that enemies cannot destroy our nation with missiles. Wisconsin (and other states) will participate in the building of this DOME security system for the nation. He indicated that President Reagan proposed this concept during his administration but now is the time to start this DOME as we have the technologies for this event to happen.

Basically, Trump will attempt to change the Biden polices in many areas and he thinks this can happen QUICKLY. My view is that Trump is totally deceived on his viewpoint on economic issues. His policies will actually create more inflation and a growth in government DEBT (much beyond the current unsustainable levels). 

His ideas about deporting millions of illegals is unlikely to promote unity or agreement within our nation. The process will be impossible to implement as there will be push-back from the democrats and from the illegals. I understand his motivation, but to attempt to implement this policy will be next to impossible (given the nature of the problem).

His idea that he can end the Ukraine war in days is also unrealistic. Russia has shown that they will not give up the territory that they think is now part of greater Russia. His strong arm tactics will not work in today's world IMO. Wars are likely to continue as our world is polarized over all these issues. Also prophecy points to more wars until a final end happens at Armageddon.

The mindset of Trump and his supporters does suggest that there was DIVINE intervention during the attempt at his assassination. God Almighty did step in an prevent his death on July 13, 2024. All this is because Trump is meant to serve as our next President and implement ideas that will lead to Armageddon (eventually). God rules this planet and Trump is merely an AGENT/SERVANT of this Higher Power. That is my review of our situation. Think for yourself on all these issues. My viewpoint is always 'tentative'...as I try to learn from real events as they happen. 

The entire 93 minute speech of Trump can be viewed via the internet. It was much longer then I had expected. My summary above is only partial.

Prophetic Events evolving perfectly! Why?

My theory of reality is based upon this idea that God rules this universe/planet (via his 'word') and this Source has a prophetic calendar which reveals his plans (to those with wisdom). None of us can discern (perfectly) these prophetic plans, but we can discern the general outline. Here is my general outline of what seems likely in 2024 and 2025. All, however, is 'tentative'!

1. I think Trump will prevail over Biden in November. Trump is a big backer of the 'dollar' as playing a continuing role in international commerce. He does not view the 'digital' dollar as being FAKE (as I do). This means he will likely advance this 'digital' dollar when necessary so as to advance the prophetic agenda. Trump is not God and this means he must act to advance the real agenda of our Higher Source.

2. Mr. Putin and Mr. Xi also want to advance their 'digital' currencies (the Ruble and the Yuan). Europe also wants to advance their 'digital' Euro as a global currency. Money rules this planet and when 'push comes to shove' (say in early 2025) then these 'digital' money units will be used to advance a GLOBAL system of international commerce. The precursors to this event are happening NOW.

3. It is likely that the USA dollar and its financial house of cards will start to collapse before or soon after the coming election (in 2024). If this happens and Trump is elected as our President (as I now assume), he is likely to advance the 'digital' dollar so that some type of GLOBAL currency system can develop for our planet. This is precisely in line with God's prophetic calendar. Trump will do what God desires!

4. God the Father is setting up the world system so that these END TIME events can happen as prophesied (my assumption). It now appears (to me) that Trump is the selected puppet to advance America's 'digital' dollar in conjunction with Russia, China, and Europe. All this is likely in 2025. This would advance the GLOBAL system so that a ONE World System emerges for our planet. Keep in mind that MONEY (under man's rule) is key to all politics and economics. 

5. Today, we live with FAKE money but few comprehend this reality. My sense is that Trump, Putin, Xi, and Europe's leaders will ALL buy into a GLOBAL 'digital' money system (once this becomes necessary to SAVE the international system of commerce). All this is emerging NOW but FEW comprehend that it is God's agenda that is actually being advanced. The Kingdom Agenda is emerging/evolving but FEW comprehend this reality. Amazing!

6. The times are interesting (for me) and for those who recognize that God (the Father) is advancing his AGENDA via his 'word' and his 'influence'. Satan will do what he is programmed to do to help with this AGENDA. The story of mankind is a soap opera which only the SELECT can discern (so it seems). This is my personal viewpoint.

7. Yes, we are living in the END TIMES (of man's rule) and this seems obvious to me. God (the Father) rules this universe/planet and this SOURCE works invisibly to advance the REAL agenda. His servants/agents work 'invisibly' to advance this agenda (most unknowingly). Few comprehend as thinkers cannot discern their own inner consciousness. My view is that God works via the inner 'consciousness' of people (all people) and his invisible 'word' accomplishes his goals and objectives (even as I/you cannot discern this reality in realtime). Amazing!

It is the WORD of this invisible Source (God Almighty) which rules our universe/planet. That is my perspective. All my personal philosophy is based on this assumption. The WORD of our Creator rules and man operates AT EFFECT. Few, however, comprehend this reality. Human nature wants to think that reality is 'material' and 'observable' to the human eye. Most desire to assume that THEY are in control of events. This, to me, is an ILLUSION. The invisible forces actually RULE this planet. This has been our situation since the DAWN of mankind.

Temporarily, Satan, is the 'god of this world'. Satan uses the official political system to assist our Creator God in accomplishing the REAl agenda of our Creator God. Nothing happens which is not approved/controlled by our invisible KING, God Almighty. The book of JOB is a good reference source for understanding this reality. JOB was likely the first scriptural text of our Holy Book. This story in JOB gives me the view that ALL is under the control and providence of our Creator God (the ultimate Source). Read Job for yourself to discern this reality.

What is now emerging in America and other parts of our planet, is part of the STORY which must be fulfilled. I now think that God will use Trump to bring America into the END TIMES (this tribulation period) which is prophesied. America, for me, is Babylon the Great (prophetically). America will assist Russia, China, and Europe to trend towards this GLOBAL world system which is prophesied. All is under the control of these INVISIBLE forces which rule our universe and our planet. That is my premise. 

Keep in mind that (for me) the LORD is the I AM GOD. This I AM God is 'not' the historical Jesus or the glorified lion of Judah (as mentioned in Revelation 5). This LORD is our Creator God/Yahweh/Father/Jehovah/Ancient of Days. The God of Israel is often referred to as HaShem (the 'name'). When to listen to the videos above and below this assumption is contradicted by the presenters. I cannot agree with these assumptions even as I do agree with much of their general worldview. Listen and think for yourself on all these theological issues!

Think for yourself to discern your own worldview. All is Amazing and Beyond the ken of me or anyone else. Wow! Am I deceived?

Evil Events: is there an 'invisible' cause? Let's Review!

The recent attempt to assassinate Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania brings attention to this concept we call EVIL. Is there evil on planet Earth? Who might be behind this mindset/thinking which has prevailed since the dawn of mankind? Many believers and some atheists think that there is some evil entity which operates behind the scenes. I was introduced to this concept in my youth when my parents and relatives claimed that the God of this World/Planet is this invisible entity whom we call SATAN.

The idea is that Satan (this evil entity) runs planet Earth from behind the scenes via his hoard of demon spirits. Evil started with Cain killing Able and this problem (of evil) has prevailed for the past 6,000 years (give or take). If Satan is really the God of this World, then this implies that Satan is a power SUPERIOR to man. This entity (say a person) can 'influence' me/you via his spirit as it acts upon our 'consciousness'. I (you) are not aware of this 'influence' (generally) as this source is invisible to our five senses.

If this is valid thinking, then there is NO solution to this event called EVIL until this invisible SOURCE is removed from his power of 'influence'. Some counter SOURCE must remove Satan and his hoard of demons from their ability to 'influence' the 'consciousness' of mankind. Who might this counter SOURCE be? According to prophecy this counter SOURCE is a Messiah person who arrives to nullify the ability of Satan to continue his RULE. Do we now need a Messiah person to arrive so that mankind can rid this EVIL force from planet Earth (at least for a season)?

My sense is absolutely! You and I cannot rid the planet from this evil force/source via our own effort. Since this force/source is invisible we need another invisible source (more powerful) to eliminate evil from planet Earth. The obvious SOURCE which is more powerful is God Almighty. Father God is this SOURCE IMO which can eliminate evil (the influence) from our invisible 'consciousness'. That is my philosophy/worldview. Satan is obviously the TEMPORARY God of this World and there is only ONE source which can eliminate this EVIL influence from planet Earth.

God Almighty must send his chosen Messiah to rid the world of this evil 'influence'. Satan must be dethroned from his RULE over planet Earth. This can only happen with the 'intervention' of our HIGHER POWER (God Almighty). Satan has 'temporary' permission to rule this planet. This 'temporary' permission can END if God Almighty chooses to end this rule. Evil (the influence) could END if Father God intervenes (via his Messiah) and ends Satan's rule. According to my reading of Prophecy, this event WILL happen. My sense is that if could happen rather SOON.

If Prophecy is valid (I think it is) then we could witness the coming of a new Messiah with the authority to remove Satan as the ruler of planet Earth. The real Authority over planet Earth is Father God. Both Trump and Biden are appealing to this higher authority with their current rhetoric. Biden says that ONLY the Lord Almighty can remove his desire to seek a second term as our President. Trump claims that it was God (whoever this is in his mind) that saved him from the assassination attempt. So both our candidates for President imply that there is a HIGHER AUTHORITY governing this planet.

I personally agree with both Biden and Trump. This Higher Authority is God Almighty...also called Father God/Yahweh/Jehovah...the I AM that I AM. This I AM source is real and ruling planet Earth as I write this missive. I am not God. You are not God. No person on our planet (now some 8.1 billion) can assume the role of GOD. Our politicians can PLAY GOD with their actions and thinking. But this is far from BEING GOD. We have only ONE God for planet Earth. This SOURCE is invisible and without an IMAGE. We recognize this invisible source as we reflect inward via our consciousness.

As I write some 80% of mankind seems to recognize some invisible source as their God. Christians, Muslims, Jews, and others all recognize some SOURCE as greater than themselves. This means that you and I are not in CONTROL of events on this planet. We are mere AGENTS of a Higher Authority. I call this authority our POTTER. This makes us 'the clay'...without any power to act as GOD. I did not choose to be born on this planet and I assume you also did not choose to be born. This means we are acting out our program given to us by our POTTER (unknowingly). Amazing!

Yes, there is EVIL on this planet as I write. This EVIL, however, is 'temporary' as Father God plans to eliminate this evil at some point (my view). Precisely when is unknown to mankind. But my sense is that prophecy is valid and this gives us a 'clue' to what is coming down the road. A Messiah person is coming to planet Earth (chosen by God Almighty) to rid the planet of SATAN (at least for a season). When this happens, our world citizens will become morally more righteous...with desires that promote justice and freedom for everyone. 

That is my perspective/worldview on the issue of EVIL and its elimination. Think for yourself to discern your own perspective! The attempt by Thomas Matthew Crooks to assassinate Donald Trump, a Presidential candidate, is obviously an EVIL event. Evil is ruling this planet for now. But if Satan is removed, then a NEW WORLD will emerge! I call this NEW WORLD the Kingdom of Father God! Give these ideas some reflection at your leisure.

NATO and WEST to escalate WAR with Russia/Ukraine! Danger Ahead!

The NATO Summit has revealed that the WEST is soon to escalate the war with Putin/Russia and allow Zelenskyy to bomb targets deep into Russian territory. The mindset is to allow Kiev/Zelenskyy and his military to start a new campaign of terror for Putin and the Russian military. The mindset of leaders in Germany, Great Britain, and NATO (and soon Biden) is to attempt to WIN the war so that Putin and his cabal LOSE. Is this insanity or what?

This mindset (of NATO and the West) is certain to cause more destruction, killing of innocents, and a greater war for the world. I view these warmongers as promoting an INSANE policy as this mindset will certainly lead to WW III and the destruction of the entire political system on this planet. We will soon be heading directly for Armageddon (the final battle) as Russia and her allies will not back down as Biden and the WEST assumes.

Russia is backed by China (Xi), Iran (their new leader), North Korea (Kim) and many nations in Africa and Asia. There is no chance IMO that this mindset of trying to WIN this war...is valid thinking. Chaos and more conflict is the result of this WAR mindset that has emerged from the recent NATO Summit. In reality, this war is a NO-WIN situation. Neither side can assume that the other will back down. This leads to a LOSE/LOSE outcome (given our nuclear situation) as more killing will prove futile for all these warmongers.

I view these leaders as mentally insane and deranged. Biden is supposedly the leader of the West and Putin is the leader of the East. The mindset of Putin and his allies is a Multi-polar world system and this means that Biden's Uni-polar mindset cannot be accepted. It is now obvious that this escalation of the war (by targeting venues deep within Russian territory) will not bring either side a WIN. The whole strategy is insanity 101. I mostly blame the WEST (Biden and his coalition) as they will start this escalation (with Zelenskyy/Ukraine as the proxy). It's all shameful and a form of politcal insanity.

We need NEW leaders in both the WEST and the EAST. But it is the WEST which is starting this escalation mindset. More weapons will be sent to Ukraine and their leader, Zelenskyy. These weapons will have the capability to TARGET various venues DEEP within Russia (so as to prevent Russian counter attacks). From Putin's point-of-view this is unwarranted escalation and this means a counter escalation by Putin and his allies. China, Iran, and North Korea will come to the aid of Russia (as will many other BRICS countries). This means that the WESTERN mindset of escalation cannot work. There will be NO win for Zelenskyy and/or his backers...is my opinion.

I am sorry to report these findings. We seriously need new leaders with a different mindset for resolving international disputes. As I write, this politician from Hungary, Victor Orban, is traveling to Florida to meet with Donald Trump. Victor has recently met with Xi (in China) and Putin (in Russia). He desires to deescalate this war and I commend him for these efforts. But the core leaders above are ignoring any peaceful negotiation and promoting a NO WIN escalation of military might. This, to me, is insanity 101. The result of the WEST'S mindset is more killing and destruction.

The real battle for this planet is over political control of the planet. The WEST is seeking control via their Agenda 2030 program and their concept of a Uni-polar world system (under the control of the WEST). The EAST has a different political worldview. Their mindset is to promote a Multi-polar world system with the USA as merely one nation of many. The America Empire is disliked as it has forced many nations to bow to the 'rules based' ideas of the WEST.

This 'rules based' idea is nothing but a metaphor for Biden (and his coalition) to dictate policies to the entire planet. Rules will originate with the leaders of the WEST and then be IMPOSED upon the entire planet (all nations). The American Empire will become the Babylon of the world (this is what seems to be developing). Babylon the Great (as recorded in Revelation) is precisely what America wants for the planet. Father God is warning us that this mindset is destined for total DESTRUCTION. That's why I call the mindset of escalation a form of political 'insanity'.

As people of the planet, with no control over these issues (now emerging), we need to become informed and find ways to reject this thinking of our warmonger leaders. By becoming informed and knowledgable we can gradually elect NEW leaders with a peaceful mindset...who reject war as the solution to political differences. Freedom should be the mindset of our leaders (not democracy or autocracy). What I witness is more political MOB RULE by our politicians who refuse to bow to the peaceful mindset of voting citizens...who desire recognition of ALL peoples as equals.

Our world system is heading for collapse and it is now time to reject leaders who promote this Lose/Lose mindset of WAR. Our enemies have nuclear weapons and they will protect their sovereignty to the last missile. Might makes Right is a losing worldview and this has been proven by our 6,000 years of human civilization. We need peacemakers to prevail and warmongers to fail. This is my view of our situation. Think for yourself on all these issues of reality.

Global Currencies are: 'Units of Consciousness'! Danger!

Never in the history of money have we used mere 'units of consciousness' as our proxy for value (money). All these 'units of consciousness' (dollars, yen, pounds, etc.) have been defined (historically) in terms of some THING which exists in the marketplace (say silver/gold/paper). Today, however, 95% of all money transactions are digital/virtual (within our consciousness) and these digital money units should be called 'units of our consciousness'. Technically, these 'units' do not EXIST as material things. They are MENTAL (within us).

This mental money system is working as I write (at the micro level) but at the MACRO level distortions are appearing daily. The problem with mere 'numbers' and 'names' as our currency (say the number/name...$1.00) is that this system gives total control to the issuer of these 'units of consciousness'. The issuer is a commercial BANK and/or a Central Bank and the administrators working within these BANKS control the issuance. A personal loan to me results in new 'digits' into my account but when mere 'digits' are our money units this leads to over issuance (generally) and also value distortions in the marketplace result over time.

Money units are supposed to be a 'proxy' (substitute) for VALUE. Today, however, this concept called 'value' is distorted, subjective, and mostly meaningless. There is no objective 'value' when banksters can create these 'units of consciousness' from their mind (consciousness) at their own discretion. All is subjective and valuations are mostly meaningless in today's marketplace. The marketplace (and prices) get distorted and dysfunctional over time. Witness our situation today. Prices are free floating and without any real logic (as to value).

The lead issuer of these mental 'digits' (units of consciousness) is our Central Bank via their policymakers...who operate behind closed doors. Our Central Bank, called the FED, can decide to input a given number of dollars (let's say one billion) in their computer account so as to increase the overall money supply in the economy. This decision (now a computer decision) provides new money 'digits' in the banking account of the Central Bank and then these 'digits' are used as the CB chooses (say to buy select assets in the marketplace).

Over time, hundreds of Central Banks and their money supply actions create huge distortions of value in the marketplace (often called 'inflation'). These actions create an oversupply of 'digits' for select clients and an undersupply of 'digits' for clients with no real wealth credibility. This leads to 'wealth disparity' in the overall marketplace. The rich get richer and the poor poorer. Today, some 90% of monetary wealth is held by 10% of the banking clients. Money units get distributed to the wealthy and the poor get next to nothing.

Banksters get to administer the money wealth for the entire economy. The private sector (the individuals) are at the MERCY of the banksters who run the system. Today, most money wealth is controlled by our banksters. These policymakers create our 'units of consciousness' (money units) while they operate behind closed doors. They do not get any media or customer scrutiny in real-time. This favors the select few wealthy who have connections with these banksters. This is not real Capitalism and those with discernment can recognize this reality. Our politicians seem to disregard any media or pundits who want to seek details from these elites who run the system.

We live with a 'subjective' monetary system now since our money units are mere 'units of consciousness'. What is a digital/virtual dollar in todays marketplace? What is a digital/virtual yen, pound, euro, etc.? Who comprehends? All our global currencies are mere subjective 'units of consciousness' which get created/destroyed by select banksters (who operate behind closed doors). Is this a fair and stable monetary system for our planet? Is it a fair and stable system for America? When will our economists who are supposed to understand these issues going to reveal the details to the public? Why no transparency?

My sense is that few comprehend what is happening within our MACRO economy (now a global/interconnected economy). Electronic computers operate our monetary system and the control of these computers is within the hands of unelected banksters who operate behind closed doors. Is this a transparent monetary system for our consumers and investors? Is it a monetary system which is fair/stable/just? Would our courts find that these 'units of consciousness' which operate as our money...as viable LEGAL TENDER for goods and services? Is any of this Constitutional?

History reveals that money has always been some object/item/thing from nature. Silver and Gold have been the chosen items for most of our monetary history. Today, all is digital (mostly) and our banksters run the system (behind closed doors). Consumers and investors must accept the system as they have no other options. Control is in the hands of elites who do not desire understanding by the public. Our media is generally unable to interview these elites in real-time. All this produces distortions and distrust over time.

As I write this missive all is calm within the greater marketplace. Money is created and destroyed (behind closed doors) and few comprehend what these banksters are saying/doing. America's Central Bank Chairman, Jerome Powell, reports his viewpoint on the economy at select intervals. But no media is allowed in real-time to observe what these bankster policymakers are doing (behind closed doors). Results seep into the marketplace AFTER decisions are made. Few know what is happening!

Is any of this a viable longterm system for our global marketplace? Units of Consciousness (as our money) is what we live with today. Imaginary currencies are what we live with. A controlled economy (now mostly cashless) is what we live with. Banksters run the global system. And decisions are made continually BEHIND closed doors. Is any of this stable and fair for the people? My sense is absolutely NOT. The system favors a FEW in power and everyone else is a victim of this system. Think for yourself!

In Theory our Markets could go to INFINITY! Why?

Few people are aware that our money units today are 'imaginary'. The so-called 'dollar' is merely a NUMBER in the computer screen. This 'number' has no tie to physical reality. A 'number' is part of our 'imaginary' mental regime. All this happened with the advent of Digital/Virtual money (mostly after the 2008 financial crisis). Today, some 95% of all money transactions are 'digital/virtual'.

Biden is aware that America's debt can (theoretically) go to INFINITY. The new monetary theory of Biden is called Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). This theory says that mere 'numbers' make up our debt and deficits and this means there is no limit to these debt/deficit accumulations. In theory these debt/deficit numbers are mere 'imaginary' units of the human mind (our consciousness). This means that Biden is not concerned about our debt/deficits (so it seems)!

Since 2008 our markets have transitioned to high speed computer algorithms. Algorithms are computer codes (mere numbers) which can increase to INFINITY if allowed (by our computer/digital/virtual system). Where do 'numbers' derive from? In today's market they derive (mostly) from our Central Bank computers. There are no 'paper' notes that our Central Bank uses today. All money units are computer 'numbers'. These 'numbers' derive from the THINKING of our central bankers who have the authority to increase/decrease these computer 'numbers'. We call this system digital/virtual!

The most powerful money unit manipulator today is our Central Bank Chairman, Jerome Powell. This one policy maker (who acts independently from our Congress and Executive) can increase/decrease these money unit 'numbers' to INFINITY and/or ZERO (if the market allows). Money today is so flexible that there is no LIMIT to the degree of manipulation which can occur. It's all a matter of investor acceptance of this fake SYSTEM. I call this system official counterfeiting. Others call this QE or QT. 

Have you noticed that our official market indices have increased (with no serious downturn) since 2009? Our DOW index (for example) was around 6,800 in 2009. Today, this index is nearly 40,000. The Japan Neikki index was around 7,000 in 2009 and it has increased to today's number of 41,841. Both Japan and the USA have allowed their stock market indexes to increase some 500+ % these past 15+ years. This is unheard of for a business cycle. All this happens because of our Central Bank manipulations and our digital/virtual/number money unit system. So far it is working but the END GAME is built into the system.

Many financial experts (including myself) have been warning that a market crash is on the horizon. But so far nothing has happened as these market indices can be PUMPED UP indefinitely by our Central Bank computers (via the actions of select policy makers). No market crash has happened and it will not happen UNTIL investors abandon their beliefs in the stability of this digital/virtual money system. So far our Central Bank manipulators have 'fooled' investors into thinking that the current manipulative system can continue into INFINITY. Amazing!

Few seem to comprehend that our money units today are IMAGINARY (units of the mind). I call these money units...units of our consciousness. A Central Banker (like Jerome Powell and/or the banksters in Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, etc.) can continue this monetary charade indefinitely (as money is now part of our invisible consciousness). Amazing gullibility is happening as few to none comprehend how this FAKE system works in real-time.

Eventually, confidence will crash and our investors will dump their stock investments and GO for GOLD. Gold is the final end point for this FAKE phony financial system. Back in 1929, gold was the physical metal which helped to crash the financial system. Investors lost 'confidence' and then they all clamored for GOLD. Our banks could not honor the mindset of investors and this crashed the system. Will a similar event happen today?

So far our Central Bank manipulators are SUPPRESSING the gold price so that the psychology of GOING for gold is diminished. All this could change in the coming weeks/months, however. GOING for gold could be the FINAL straw that breaks the ability of our Central Planners to manipulate these 'imaginary' markets. My sense is that a few investors are waking up to the FAKE/phony monetary system. But we need more investors to WAKE UP. Will this happen in 2024? Who knows?

Biden likes Modern Monetary Theory as he can then SPEND to infinity as his budget is flexible and expandible under this FAKE system of finance. Amazing. 

Watch and wait is my mantra. Reality will eventually prevail!  The above video fools most thinkers as the presenter does not define a 'bookkeeping entry'. He merely talks about assets and liabilities (these bookkeeping entries) without defining the 'units' used and the source of these units (the human mind). Amazing gullibility.
