Extreme Greed

James 4:13 Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain.

James 5:1-6 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which are of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabbath. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

Note: Most wars the U.S. has been involved has been about power and monetary gain. Proof of which lies in the fact we are the lone Superpower and as the U.S. economy goes so goes the rest of the world. Below is an article from Cliff Kincaid that gives a brief synopsis of the situation as it pertains to the role of the U.S. in the world economy. One must think beyond the moment and consider many facts to gain the overall situation.

Isaiah 56:11 yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds (leaders) that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.

Note: I have a word for all the so-called prophecy experts that keep saying the U.S. is not in bible prophecy. You are as big a part of the problem as these politicians are by foolishly denying the facts as they are becoming more obvious every day. One example: Just who or what nation fits the bill for this end-time prophecy? Revelation 17:2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. Revelation 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Remember above I said as the U.S. economy goes so goes the rest of the world. Who gets the blame or praise when the world’s economy is perking along in good shape or in decline? Hint, it is not Europe, Russia or China.

The above verses of scripture get to the heart of the matter and it doesn’t matter whether you are talking about liberals or conservatives. The results are always the same no matter who is in charge. This is why the American people are fed up with both parties and are heavily identifying themselves as independent today. The hump to overcome lies in the fact that people have to stop relying on the MSM media for information because they keep telling us to vote independent is throw a vote away. And this comes down to the local leadership of both parties, you know the people we trust to oversee the activities of the local party. These are people with whom we trust because they are our neighbors and we know wouldn’t do anything to hurt us. What is not taken into consideration by the individual is the fact they are relying on information from their top echelons of authority in the given party.

If you think the results aren’t the same then take a look at how much further left both parties have gone over the past 20 years or since Reagan left office. For years the Democrats have made no secret of their intentions to steer America into socialism and now the Republicans are doing exactly the same thing. To the point I might add of instructing all levels of the party to stop demanding social issues such as abortion and gay marriage be high on their priorities because they are told this is a losing issue. Yet, the polls are revealing Americans are against these two issues I just mentioned. So what gives?  Greed and Power Corrupts!

Extremes

The liberals or Democrats push for socialization or as people have become conditioned and say they are fighting for the little guy and most have bought into this nonsense because they learned long ago they could get social benefits from the government while ignoring the consequences of this action and the politicians learned over time they could buy votes with this policy. One might refer to this as robbing Peter to pay Paul and the results are always the same more oppressive taxes and inflated prices always follow because when we take from one person to bolster another there is a void left that demands a catch-up state of mind and this results in higher inflation and interest rates and all suffer as a result. So what do the Democrats do? They use the left leaning media to bolster their cause that business in America is the problem for the country and a certain amount of this is truth because of the greed of business. This greed is bolstered by Wall Street because people have been forced into the market to increase their potential for gain in the retirement years. When we lost our only viable means to grow an economy, which is the manufacturing base America essentially became a stock market economy driven by credit and investment in the market simply because it was the main instrument to make money. Well, of late so much for this approach, huh! I will add because of the stimulus we can expect a sharp rebound in the market but only for a short period of time until the bills come due, which from what I have been able to ascertain will be 12 to 18 months from the writing of this article. From there we can expect to see another round of recession only this time because of the two trillion of un-backed stimulus meaning no one willing to buy our debt and the only answer being to print worthless paper, higher inflation and interest rates could actually trigger a depression the likes of which we have never witnessed as a nation. China has been buying our debt but now has cut down on that by 90%. We felt China had to buy our debt because of their dependency of the American market for selling their goods. But, it has finally come down to a simple mathematical analysis, nothing from nothing leaves nothing and add to that their hate of what America has stood for plus the other markets our generosity has provided by the so-called elimination of poverty they have other markets to fill the void somewhat. U.S. treasuries are no longer a good investment to foreigners, hence the call by many nations for a new currency to replace the U.S. so the only thing left to do is for the Fed (a private for profit independent entity that controls Americans monetary policy) create money that has no backing that comes back to haunt us in a short while as described above. All of these happenings do however reveal just how much control there is over our lives. The Republicans have been pro-business because they tell us without business there wouldn’t be any jobs and that is true but greed forced the people to unionize to get their fair share of the wealth created by business. There hasn’t been a period where there was a good balance between the two extremes. The closest we came to this was during the Reagan administration.  In our day George W. Bush exemplified this by giving business the green light on almost everything. Less regulation, higher trade deficits, abandonment of labeling laws so we wouldn’t know where many of the products we eat or consume one way or another come from. Many children and adults have died because of this and nailing down where these faulty or diseased products came from is difficult because of the method of hiding through this subsidiary or company or another.    Some of these products go through three or four layers of red tape through different companies by design before it is found where the products come from. For the record, we do have laws that demand every product must be labeled from country of origin. Both Democrats and Republicans starting with Bill Clinton pushed into high gear our demise by making NAFTA, GAAT, and World Trade Authority law and began the exodus of the middle-class paying manufacturing jobs overseas subsidized with taxpayer funding. As result we lost the most valuable tool a country must have to grow an economy and that is its manufacturing base. Now we are dependent on what other nations produce so we can have a shot at servicing them and from there scheming becomes a way of life to meet investors demands, hence all the scandals that have broken out since we lost our ability to make the economy grow in the only way that is possible. In general, whether we elect Democrats or Republicans all we count on are more extremes and we the people lose every time. And yes, even I have become an extremist because I now demand every incumbent in office be fired and replaced by Christians that are sold out to the cause of God. In my mind, as a country we have passed the point that men/women can solve what ails us. America now with Obama in charge is set up to lead the world into the socialist New World Order and is so entrenched by these few people of greed that controls all the money. This means our lives are so under the control of a few that we can’t alone fight them no matter how much we tea party or protest in any way. Europe’s socialized government controlled economies account for 48 to 50 % of their GDP and now America after what Obama and the congress has done will put us right up there with Europe. About the only consolation one can take is the Republicans in the house didn’t find a single member that voted for this stimulus although they did for Bush’s TARP.  I firmly believe only God is able to turn things around in this country but even that is dependent on a people repenting for their neglectful apathy and sin filled lifestyles and turning back to him for help.

Media

What gets to me is all the investigative reporting that supposeably takes place yet never tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I can only suppose it is because it doesn’t sell and they too are thinking only about their own hide or what they can gain personally. This includes Hannity, Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh. Every day I read many columnist articles, investigative journalist reports, and do my own research and considering today’s access to all this information I can assure you this knowledge is available. One example, many of the columnists, news anchors across the spectrum either say give Obama a chance, he wouldn’t deliberately destroy our economy, or he is forcing socialism on America but doing so naively. This is what I mean by what gives, all one has to do is investigate the man’s history from his youth up and it is blatantly obvious why he is a communist pushing communist policy on America plain and simple. Frank Marshall Davis, a known communist a member of the old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA was a mentor to Obama. Then you have Sal Alinsky another mentor of Obama also a known communist and a member of the Communist Party of the U.S. From there you go to the Bill Ayers a domestic terrorist and still a proponent of Marxism and the Reverend Wright you know the “Goddamn America” preacher Obama sat under for over 20 years. Do we need to go any further about his negative complex being a child no daddy seemed to want, who paid for his education and trips abroad, why he to this day refuses and vehemently defends with lawyers the truth about his birth certificate and education records from becoming public knowledge knowing it is a requirement for qualification to be president?  I say this because he claims to be a teacher of the constitution so he should know the requirements of the presidential contender.

What does the U.N. think about us? Former Secretary General of U.N. Kofi Anon said “the hell with the U.S. we are already in control
