Warning

I am sitting out in the shed pressing flax oil and there is nothing to do but to occasionally pour a bucket of flax into the press and to keep watch over everything to make sure nothing happens that shouldn’t happen. This gives me the perfect opportunity for reading and typing, and right now I feel I should write out a warning.

Let’s start with a crude analogy.

I think most people would agree that if given the chance to go back in time to the very early 1980’s they would do everything in their power to buy Microsoft stock, selling whatever they had, mortgaging their house (something I would never recommend anyone ever do) and gathering every penny they possibly could in order to buy as many shares as they possibly could. Coming back to the present time they would be able to sell the Microsoft stock for a fortune and any money worries would be over.

I suspect that many people would have thought you were nuts if you had told them to buy Microsoft stock no matter what it took back then. I think a similar thing is happening now, only it’s not about stock in some company, it’s about going hungry and about loosing every last fragment of liberties that we are still hanging on to. I would just like to point out one very small but vital part in the puzzle we are faced with. Inflation cannot keep going like it is forever. It’s a basic principle of science if you will look at nothing else (history for instance), that what goes up, must come down. Do you think we are going to see the economic system we have in place today working and prospering forever? If you do then I think you are very foolish. Let’s take a look at just one commodity, gasoline. It hasn’t been all that long ago since I last saw a sign that advertised regular gas for $0.92 cents a gallon, that’s when I was old enough to be driving and buying gas myself so it hasn’t been too many years. I hear older folks talking about buying gas at a nickel a gallon and even less than that for some people I have talked with. Now the gas is still gas isn’t it? My Grandfather has a 1929 Ford car and in 1929 it would go 22 miles on one gallon of 5 cent gasoline (rough price on the gas as I don’t remember that far back) now that exact same car will go those exact same 22 miles on one gallon of gas but those 22 miles that once cost 5 cents to travel now cost three dollars and fifty cents! Something is not as it should be here, it’s called inflation and it means that the dollar buys less and less and less as the time goes by. Does anyone remember when it took a wheel barrow to haul enough money to buy a loaf of bread? I never saw it myself but I remember when I was quite a bit younger our German neighbors would tell me stories of how they saw it back home in Germany. This is what we are facing not too far down the line if something doesn’t happen to correct the situation. Let’s look at it another way. In a few years, that one hundred dollar bill that you have worked so hard to obtain will buy just nothing at all! In this time of devitalizing everything it’s not just the food we can buy that’s worthless, it’s the money that we buy it with! I don’t exactly know just what this means to the general population, using history as a guideline and having a general idea of the mentality of most people today I can make a fairly educated guess that within a very short time of the dollar becoming almost valueless (meaning the only way people can carry enough money to fill their Suburban with gas is to use a credit card) people will do what many did in the recent hurricane disasters and conclude that the government is responsible for our every need and go to them for help, which will be gladly given at a price, which will undoubtedly be what liberty we have left, but that will not matter to most because they don’t value it anyway.

With the machine of money monopoly growing each day it’s only a matter of time (and not much of that) until we see this as a reality and not just words on a page. The bloated balloon must burst at some point as it cannot keep on forever. Don’t be fooled into thinking the people behind this system don’t know what is looming ahead, they know quite well and Mr. Banker B. Billionaire is not setting in the back room worrying and trying to come up with a solution either! If that were the case something would have been done decades ago. No, we can be assured Mr. Billionaire is sitting in the back room and he isn’t worrying about fixing the problem because it isn’t a problem for him, it’s a bonanza and he is getting ready to celebrate!

I don’t want to discuss methods of balancing the budget and reducing the national debt, I would prefer to see a real constructive solution, like, how about we just cancel it! This country was bankrupt long before most of us were even born and it’s about time we stopped behaving like we had an unlimited supply of cash in a stash somewhere. We could use a Pied Piper who specialized in bankers rather than rats, both of which are a form of scavenger.

There is an abundance of advice and information on how to prepare for the coming collapse-and a collapse is coming no matter how deep we may bury our head in the sand- and much of it is good information but hardly enough to really help much. Here’s what I think; beyond preparing so you don’t starve to death, there is really only one solution to the whole affair. I made the connection of the bankers and rats for a reason, the economic system and its problems is just the same as a rat infestation. Rats infest a place for a reason; they don’t just pick a location by lottery. If there is nothing for the rats then there will be no rats, how often have you seen a perfectly clean, empty and sterilized room infested by rats or mice? Like me, probably never, you will always see such infestations in an area that is full of food, shelter and comfort for the vermin, get rid of the food (starve them out) and get rid of the shelter and comfort and the vermin leave, you might have to trap and poison a few. If there is nothing to scavenge, there will be no scavenger. The principle is the same with what we are facing today, the problems we are facing are just a symptom of our neglect in other areas, the solution is not to chase the vermin off as they’ll come back in hordes, the solution is to run, not walk, to God and have Him clean up our act, and get on the right track in our relationship with Him. Then the problem will be gone, the vermin will leave and the few that are left here and there will be easily chased out by men with their Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other. They will be saying “How dare you dishonor God by charging usury against the express commandment.” and they will be followed by their many children, each with his Bible and rifle in hand, and they will be expert in the use of both. “Let the high acts of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands, to execute vengeance upon the heathen and corrections among the people: To bind their kings in chains and their nobles with fetters of iron; that they may execute upon them the judgment that is written: This honor hath all his saints. Praise ye the Lord” Psalm 149:6-9.

...and the victory is assured! Christ came to "destroy the works of the devil (I John 3:8)," and to prepare a victorious bride, not a cowering, ineffective one who simply waits for darkness to gain power and then be raptured out of here.

I've been studying a lot of end-times theology lately, and come up with some really exciting things. The next DT should have an article by a friend on the topic.

Good posts as always.
