The Anatomy of a Bubble

Until recently, most people had never even heard of derivatives; but in terms of money traded, these investments represent the biggest financial market in the world. Derivatives are financial instruments that have no intrinsic value but derive their value from something else. Basically, they are just bets. You can “hedge your bet” that something you own will go up by placing a side bet that it will go down. “Hedge funds” hedge bets in the derivatives market. Bets can be placed on anything, from the price of tea in China to the movements of specific markets.

“The point everyone misses,” wrote economist Robert Chapman a decade ago, “is that buying derivatives is not investing. It is gambling, insurance and high stakes bookmaking. Derivatives create nothing.”1 They not only create nothing, but they serve to enrich non-producers at the expense of the people who do create real goods and services. In congressional hearings in the early 1990s, derivatives trading was challenged as being an illegal form of gambling. But the practice was legitimized by Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who not only lent legal and regulatory support to the trade but actively promoted derivatives as a way to improve “risk management.”

Partly, this was to boost the flagging profits of the banks; and at the larger banks and dealers, it worked. But the cost was an increase in risk to the financial system as a whole

Since then, derivative trades have grown exponentially, until now they are larger than the entire global economy. The Bank for International Settlements recently reported that total derivatives trades exceeded one quadrillion dollars – that’s 1,000 trillion dollars.3 How is that figure even possible?

Days of Trouble and Uncertainty!

Days of Trouble and Uncertainty!

On the 13th day of March 2008, a rare “closed door” session was held by the United States House of Representatives. It was only the fourth time in the history of the United States that the House of Representatives closed the doors and met in absolute secrecy. Thus, those who were elected to represent the people of the United States would not allow the people to know what they were meeting about. Furthermore, House Rule XVII, clause 9, forbids the Representatives from revealing what was discussed. The penalty for leaking such information includes loss of seniority, fine, reprimand, censure, or expulsion! What went on behind those closed doors where every member was sworn to absolute secrecy, to always conceal and never reveal? We know that the only reason for secrecy is to hide evil. The news media said almost nothing about the secret conclave, but it was mentioned only that one of the items being discussed was the new surveillance techniques that are going to used by the U.S. Government to watch every American. (19)

After diligently searching for more information, I finally found what I was looking for in an Australian newspaper. The story appeared in Australia.TO from Brisbane, Australia. The article stated that ABC News via WCPO confirmed that Congress members were forbidden to talk about what went on in their secret meeting. Several of the Representatives, however, were so furious and concerned about the future of the country that they began leaking info. Here are some of the things that were reportedly leaked out regarding the secret meeting: Discussion regarding the imminent collapse of the U.S. economy to occur by September 2008 – The imminent collapse of the U.S. Government finances by February 2009 – The possibility of Civil War inside the United States as a result of the collapse – The advance round-ups of “insurgent U.S. citizens” likely to move against the government – The detention of those rounded up at REX 84 camps constructed throughout the United States – The possibility of public retaliation against members of Congress for the collapses – The location of safe facilities for members of Congress and their families to reside during massive civil unrest – the necessary and unavoidable merger of the United States with Canada and Mexico – The issuance of a new currency called the AMERO for all three nations as an economic solution. (20) Obviously, there is no documentary proof for the above as the meetings were secret. The information, however, does fit the profile of what is going on around us. Our Almighty Saviour is ultimately in charge. Time will tell if these things are so, and time is running out! Last Trumpet Ministries

Criminals Want to Shut Down Our Communication

Group With Big Pharma Ties Wants to Shut Down Vaccine “Conspiracy Theories”

Kingpins of Military-Industrial complex say they will “brand” websites they consider “trustworthy and reliable sources of information”

A foundation populated by the giants of business, banking, government and military wants to “vet” websites and limit the spread of information that it says creates “conspiracy theories”.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), fronted by Internet creator Sir Tim Berners-Lee, says it is worried about the way the web has been “used to spread disinformation”.

Speaking to the BBC, Berners-Lee said that there needed to be a new system that would give websites a “label for trustworthiness” once they had been proved reliable sources. Only then would the rise of “cult thinking” be avoided according to Berners-Lee.

“On the web the thinking of cults can spread very rapidly and suddenly a cult which was 12 people who had some deep personal issues suddenly find a formula which is very believable,” Berners-Lee said. “A sort of conspiracy theory of sorts and which you can imagine spreading to thousands of people and being deeply damaging.”

Deeply damaging to who? one might ask. The answer is revealed in the list of The World Wide Web Consortium’s 400 plus members, the cream of the corporate world in conjunction with government agencies such as National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and military entities like the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).

Urban Warfare Exercises! Why?

MichaelCooper — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 18:47:01 +0000

A few years ago in my hometown of Anniston, Alabama, and the town that joins it, Oxford, received a rude awakening as the night skies darkened. Soldiers from Ft. Bragg, North Carolina suddenly appeared in dark uniforms as they dropped from helicopters into yards. Electricity was cut off, and the town was completely dark. Silhouettes of soldiers were everywhere. Machine gun fire began to lighten the night sky. Hundreds of calls began to flood the sheriff’s office. The sheriff had no idea what was happening. The soldiers captured the Anniston, Alabama airport. They controlled the town……

After the absolutely secret exercise was over, the Anniston Star contacted Ft. Bragg to find out what had just happened. Ft. Bragg’s public relations staff just said it was an urban exercise!

Public reaction was that the city was under siege from enemies of America, and it was truly an invasion from Russian or Chinese Communist troops. Fear was everywhere!!!

On August 27, 2008, black helicopters swarmed downtown Portland, Oregon. These black helicopters have been making more regular appearances in major cities – WHY? This time there was talk of using live rounds of ammunition, as military personnel practiced jumping onto downtown rooftops. The Army and Navy were conducting Urban Military Training in Portland and Salem, Oregon from August 17-30, 2008, according to KGW News Channel 8. The training included “low visibility movement, military operations in urban terrain, manual and low weight explosive breaching, fast-rope insertion, live fire” and other exercises, according to a memo from Portland Mayor Tom Potter to the Navy’s Special Warfare Development Group.

Many calls came into emergency dispatchers and the mayor’s office from residents and visitors. “It’s nothing to worry about,” city and federal officials insisted on Tuesday. “By the way, you might see more of the same tonight.”

These types of activities have been going on for several years. The question should be WHY? We are told they are not for America, but these urban training exercises are for wars in foreign countries. It makes me wonder why strange surveys have been passed out at Twenty-Nine Palms, California military base!

The survey given at Twenty-Nine Palms military base had 43 questions. Starting with questions number 28, notice the setting has changed to determine whether our military will serve with United Nations commands that eventually would be required to fireon American citizens!!!

Consider the following statements:

28. The U.S. runs a field training exercise. U.N. combat troops should be allowed to serve in U.S. units during these exercises under U.S. command and control. ___Strongly Disagree ___Dis-agree___Agree ___Strongly Agree ___No Opinion

30. The U.N. runs a field exercise. U.S. combat troops should serve under U.N. command and control. (The same five responses were offered)

31. U.S. combat troops should participate in U.N. missions as long as the U.S. has full command and control. (Same five responses offered)

32. U.S. combat troops should participate in U.N. missions under U.N. command and control. (Same five responses offered)

33. U.S. combat troops should be commanded by U.N. officers AND non-commissioned officers at the battalion and company levels while performing U.N. missions. (Same five responses offered)

41. I would like U.N. member countries, including the U.S., to give the U.N. all the soldiers necessary to maintain world peace. (Same five responses offered)

42. I would swear to the following code:“I am a U.N. fighting person. I serve in the forces which maintain world peace and every nation’s way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.” (Same five responses offered)

43. The U.S. government declares a ban on the possession, sale, transportation and transfer of all non-sporting firearms. A 30-day amnesty period is permitted for these firearms to be turned over to the local authorities. At the end of this period, a number of citizen groups refuse to turn over their firearms. Consider the following statement: “I would FIRE UPON U.S. citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the U.S. government.” (Same five responses offered)

These urban exercises began AFTER that survey was given. Is our military engaged in urban warfare training for foreign wars or for U.S. citizens???

The time is close! Jesus is our Protector!!! We should be turning to Him with all of our heart!

Thank you,

The Carnal Mind

MichaelCooper — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 23:42:54 +0000

I want to show you how we so easily can be tricked and are carnally minded(in the flesh) when we read scripture, so much so that things that are hidden we miss……

Here is the experiment: What works does Jesus say we must do in the following passage …..? Realizing that I already told you that your mind is going to be tricked into thinking carnally instead of spiritually…..Give me your answer after you study these 2 verses then if you don’t see it I’ll show you a pearl….P.S. these verses were set up by God this way on purpose to hide the pearl…..

John 6:28, 29 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

What works does Jesus say we must do?
