Why Do I Blog?
My blog is hopefully interesting to you, educational too. I think it's about time people of a sound mind started to speak out and stop hiding from what they know. A wise man once told me, "What's the use of being a Prophet if you don't open your mouth." I'm not saying I'm a Prophet, but you get the point. I believe sincerely that God has called me as a Watchman. And that's not a fictional cartoon character.I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;So the time for being silent has passed. I must speak, for if I do not, I will burst. Many will now think less of me, some will think I have gone crazy because of the so-called fringe or conspiracy content I post, but some will start to think, to question what they believe, to ask questions they dared not ask before, and for them, the brave, they will find truth, and freedom.
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the LORD,
give yourselves no rest
Isaiah 62:6
One day our Lord is going to return and set us free from the bondage we have put ourselves under. A new Exodus is coming. Hopefully soon. Until then, as a follower of His, I have a job to do, and that is to educate and awaken a sleeping giant. I am not ashamed of what I believe, I am ashamed so few of my brethren choose to think. Ruach HaKodesh, come upon your people reading this, and set us free.
Blogging again…
August 26, 2010
OK, I am going to try and start blogging again due to incessant demand.
To those new to my writings, please spend some hours looking back through my predictions over the last 3 years or so. I don’t think you’ll find that I’ve been wrong on anything yet. No, not trying to be arrogant, just wanting new readers to know that I might be someone they can trust.
Now, I can’t write anything tonight, Thursday, because I have a test to study for. I will try to get some stuff out tomorrow night.
Oh, ok, one thing. A number of the world’s largest banks announced today they want to transfer to the renminbi instead of the dollar. This is one of the triggers that will not just signal, but cause, the collapse of the US economy.
Till tomorrow.

July 5, 2010
It’s nice to be missed. Thanks to all who have been asking why I stopped blogging. I just have so much on my plate right now, and I feel a little guilty at times, spending time blogging when I could be doing other things. I see that some of you really value this though, so I will try to continue.
As is often the case, let’s begin with economics. For the longest time, I have been forecasting a GRAND Depression. Something that will make the Great Depression look like a mere dip, a fleeting recession. So here is my prediction, and one that has not changed for many years – we are now at the start of the severest economic downturn the world has even seen. The collapse of the Roman Empire will have nothing on the collapse of the American Empire. In 2 years we have yet to see any recovery. The so-called “green shoots” had a run-in with a lawn mower, and we now begin a descent into a total breakdown of our economic system. You will see the value of the Dow Jones come even with an ounce of gold. If the government prints more money out of thin air, stealing that value form your wallet, then the Dow will stay strong for a time, but the value of gold will break free. If they began austerity measure instead, the Dow will collapse and gold will still break free. Either way, the cost of an ounce of gold and the value of the Dow will meet. That could be Dow $2000 and gold $2000 or it could be Dow $8000 and gold $8000. Either way it’s a signal that trillions of dollars of American wealth has simply evaporated, and not likely to ever return.
The jobless rate is now over 20% and fast approaching Great Depression era numbers. It’s going to get worse. I was in WholeFoods an hour ago and overheard a woman telling a new friend that she was just laid off, and she had been there for 23 years. This woman, probably late 40s, is very unlikely to find another job. And this is in Boulder, CO, one of the most affluent, and least affected (by the downturn) areas of the country. If you’re jobless, don’t stop looking, but, BE AMERICAN! What I mean by this, is stir up the capitalist spirit that America was built on. And down with the idiots blaming our economic woes on capitalism. This mess was caused by Marxist economic ideologies, the exact reverse of capitalism. I notice all the closet marxists now drinking their dutch courage and coming out. Only the foolish will buy that Marxist nonsense. We have a Central Bank – the first plank of Marx’s Communist Manifesto. We also now meet 8 out of the 10 planks. America, is now Amerika, and it’s time for Americans to rise up in the spirit of the Founders and set things straight. You can begin this, by starting your own business. Yes look for a job, but think of ways to make money through other means than lining up for a handout check. What can you, your wife, your kids, produce? Production was the lifeblood of this nation, and we need to get that blood flowing again. Turn the TV off, cancel the cable, in fact, SELL the TV, wake up your grey matter and get to work. Build, create, manufacture, invent, improve, resolve, and get the whole family in on the act. It’s time for the rise of the renaissance man again. What can you do? Don’t say nothing. Think back to your childhood – what could you do well, what did you love to do? Think. And then do.
In the last year God has taught me much about frugality. About living close to the land. I have discovered the great myth of food prices, that being that eating healthier costs more than eating all the cheap processed crap that the FDA allows to be sold as food. In eating a raw diet since Jan, my food costs have plummeted. I am now spending about $30 a week on food, and I need to even cut that back, because I have enough for 2 people. Hint-hint ladies!! (I know, you all think I’m crazy) You can do this too. You’ll save a lot of money. I even buy very high quality food. If I went and bought inorganic food from Safeway or HEB, I could reduce the costs even further. And let’s not forget the ultimate solution, growing your own. For a $2-300 investment at most, your could turn your backyard into a growers paradise. Watch this video for some inspiration: http://vimeo.com/2231318 You can live off of your backyard!!
OK, enough of me for now. Let’s look at some articles.
Dow Repeats Great Depression Pattern: Charts
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is repeating a pattern that appeared just before markets fell during the Great Depression, Daryl Guppy, CEO at Guppytraders.com, told CNBC Monday.
“Those who don’t remember history are doomed to repeat it…there was a head and shoulders pattern that developed before the Depression in 1929, then with the recovery in 1930 we had another head and shoulders pattern that preceded a fall in the market, and in the current Dow situation we see an exact repeat of that environment,” Guppy said.
The Dow retreated 457.33 points, or 4.5 percent last week, to close at 9,686 Friday. Guppy said a Dow fall below 9,800 confirmed the head and shoulders pattern.
The Shanghai Composite is seeing a very rapid collapse, falling below 2,500, which suggests the major fall in the Dow, he added.
In the European markets, Guppy says Frankfurt’s Dax is witnessing a different pattern to London’s FTSE.
Guppy uses the broad trading band as measurement- giving the Dax a downsize target of 1,500. The same head and shoulders pattern seen in the Dow can also being seen in the FTSE, he added.

With the US trapped in depression, this really is starting to feel like 1932
The US workforce shrank by 652,000 in June, one of the sharpest contractions ever. The rate of hourly earnings fell 0.1pc. Wages are flirting with deflation.
“The economy is still in the gravitational pull of the Great Recession,” said Robert Reich, former US labour secretary. “All the booster rockets for getting us beyond it are failing.”
“Home sales are down. Retail sales are down. Factory orders in May suffered their biggest tumble since March of last year. So what are we doing about it? Less than nothing,” he said.
California is tightening faster than Greece. State workers have seen a 14pc fall in earnings this year due to forced furloughs. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is cutting pay for 200,000 state workers to the minimum wage of $7.25 an hour to cover his $19bn (£15bn) deficit.
Can Illinois be far behind? The state has a deficit of $12bn and is $5bn in arrears to schools, nursing homes, child care centres, and prisons. “It is getting worse every single day,” said state comptroller Daniel Hynes. “We are not paying bills for absolutely essential services. That is obscene.”
Roughly a million Americans have dropped out of the jobs market altogether over the past two months. That is the only reason why the headline unemployment rate is not exploding to a post-war high.
Let us be honest. The US is still trapped in depression a full 18 months into zero interest rates, quantitative easing (QE), and fiscal stimulus that has pushed the budget deficit above 10pc of GDP.The share of the US working-age population with jobs in June actually fell from 58.7pc to 58.5pc. This is the real stress indicator. The ratio was 63pc three years ago. Eight million jobs have been lost.

Reports accuse WHO of exaggerating H1N1 threat, possible ties to drug makers
European criticism of the World Health Organization’s handling of the H1N1 pandemic intensified Friday with the release of two reports that accused the agency of exaggerating the threat posed by the virus and failing to disclose possible influence by the pharmaceutical industry on its recommendations for how countries should respond.
The WHO’s response caused widespread, unnecessary fear and prompted countries around the world to waste millions of dollars, according to one report. At the same time, the Geneva-based arm of the United Nations relied on advice from experts with ties to drug makers in developing the guidelines it used to encourage countries to stockpile millions of doses of antiviral medications, according to the second report.
The reports outlined the drumbeat of criticism that has arisen, primarily in Europe, of how the world’s leading health organization responded to the first influenza pandemic in more than four decades.
“For WHO, its credibility has been badly damaged,” wrote Fiona Godlee, the editor of the BMJ, a prominent British medical journal, that published one of the reports. “WHO must act now to restore its credibility.”

NASA Charged in New Climate Fakery: Greenhouse Gas Data Bogus
Shocking new evidence of a NASA scientist faking a fundamental greenhouse gas equation shames beleaguered space administration in new global warming fraud scandal.
Caught in the heat are NASA’s Dr. Judith Curry and a junk science equation by the space agency’s Dr. Gavin Schmidt creating disarray over a contentious Earth energy graph
The internal row was ignited by the release of a sensational new research paper discrediting calculations crucial to the greenhouse gas theory.
NASA in Internal Spat over Data
Hot on the heels of my recent scoop that the U.S. space agency may have suppressed evidence from the Apollo Moon landings that invalidated the greenhouse gas (GHG) theory, an internecine fury among NASA employees over fudged equations is set to further embarrass the current U.S. Administration’s stand on global warming.Word is getting round that junk equations were threaded into the GHG theory to artificially inflate the heating effect of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by a factor of two.
The spark to this cataclysmic revelation was lit in April 2007 after a public gaffe (see below) by the space administration’s Dr. Gavin Schmidt, who fronts popular pro-global warming website, ‘Real Climate.’

What’s Really Wrong with the Healthcare Industry
On May 3, 2010, I gave a talk to a class of students studying public health policy at the University of Washington. I began the talk by asking the students how many of them believed that the current healthcare system in America was flawed; everyone in the class raised their hand. I then asked how many of them believed that the recently passed healthcare legislation, supported by President Obama, was a step in the right direction in reforming America’s healthcare system. Once again, everyone raised their hand.
While I agreed with the students on the first point, I disagreed that the recently passed legislation was a step in the right direction. My aim in giving the talk was to present the students with a consistent, libertarian, free-market perspective on healthcare reform, covering both the morality and the economics of why it would be desirable to eliminate government interference in the market.
The Morality of Healthcare Reform
One of the most important factors animating the libertarian rejection of public policy in general is the recognition that any state action must ultimately resort to the use or threat of aggression. As Ludwig von Mises observed,
It is important to remember that government interference always means either violent action or the threat of such action. Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Libertarians who value justice and recognize that the use of aggression cannot be logically justified must reject all state action in principle — this includes the use of aggression in implementing healthcare policy.

Utah Sees Record-setting Late Snowfall
Many Utahns woke up to a blanket of snow Monday morning. The wet and slushy weather caused a few problems throughout the day, but the late storm was mostly an inconvenience.
The storm produced the latest spring snow ever recorded at Salt Lake City International Airport. It arrived late Sunday night and produced huge, heavy snowflakes as Salt Lake City commuters arrived for work Monday morning.
The Wasatch Mountains got significant snow for this time of year. Nine inches were reported at Brighton.
By late-morning, the most powerful parts of the storm had moved to the east.
At the Salt Lake City airport, .2 inches fell. Before Monday, the latest measurable spring snow at the airport was May 18 when half an inch fell in 1977 and one inch fell in 1960. Continue reading…
Persistent cold, wet weather delays crop harvests, worries farmers
Keep your sweater – and umbrella – within reach.
The chilly weekend temperatures were among the coldest in more than a half-century from Redding to Stockton, the National Weather Service reported Sunday.
More cold is expected today – a low of 45 and a high of 69 in downtown Sacramento – with rain forecast through much of this week.
The dogged pattern of rain and cold has prompted worries of another sort: Melon crops are less likely to be ready for market in time for July 4 celebrations, and tomato harvests likely will be delayed.
Cold “slows everything down,” Yolo County Agriculture Commissioner John Young said Sunday. “We’re not getting the temperatures we need for germination of seed. It slows the melons down, it slows the rice down, it slows any of the warm-weather crops.”
Of course, the cooler temperatures have an upside, delaying Sierra snowmelt. On Friday the state Department of Water Resources boosted the delivery forecast for its customers to 45 percent of contract amounts, reflecting a snowpack that’s at 167 percent of normal.
In the Valley, however, the regular cycle of spring rains threatens to narrow the timetable for tomato harvests, said Gene Miyao, farm adviser for the University of California Cooperative Extension. Continue reading…

US faces one of biggest budget crunches in world – IMF
Earlier this week, the Bank of England Governor, Mervyn King, irked US authorities by pointing out that even the world’s economic superpower has a major fiscal problem -“even the United States, the world’s largest economy, has a very large fiscal deficit” were his words. They were rather vague, but by happy coincidence the International Monetary Fund has chosen to flesh out the issue today. Unfortunately this is a rather long post with a few chunky tables, but it is worth spending a bit of time with – the IMF analysis is fascinating.
Its cross-country Fiscal Monitor is not easy reading and is a VERY big pdf (17mb), so I’ve collected a few of the key points. The idea behind the document is to set out how much different countries around the world need to cut their deficits by in the next few years, and the bottom line is it’s going to be big and hard (ie 8.7pc of GDP in deficit cuts around the world, which works out at, gulp, about $4 trillion).
But the really interesting stuff is the detail, and what leaps out again and again is how much of a hill the US has to climb. Exhibit a is the fact that under the Obama administration’s current fiscal plans, the national debt in the US (on a gross basis) will climb to above 100pc of GDP by 2015 – a far steeper increase than almost any other country.

Homeschoolers win round against United Nations
Homeschoolers have won a round in the long fight against the crackdown on family rights contained in the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child, but experts say they need to keep up their guard.
The convention, which is not yet ratified in the United States but has been adopted by numerous other nations, orders that children can choose their own religion with parents only having the authority to advise them, the government can override a parent’s decision regarding a child if a social worker disagrees, a child has a right to a government review of every parental decision and Christian schools would violate the law if they refused to teach children “alternative worldviews.”
And all corporal punishment, such as spankings, would be banned by law.
The conflict had arisen over legislation that was proposed in the United Kingdom, called the Children, Schools and Families Bill, that would have set into law many of the provisions and issues demanded by the U.N. plan. Continue reading…
