Supreme Leader Of Iran Warns The U.S.

On Monday the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned the United States about remaining in the Persian Gulf area with military forces. The Iranian Supreme Leader also suggested that Iran would continue to hold war drills in the area despite the recent Obama administration’s ‘Iranian Nuclear Deal’.

In an article that was published by The Washington Free Beacon the Iranian Supreme Leader is quoted as saying, “Today, the enemies utter words bigger than their mouths; for instance they develop plans to bring to a halt Iran’s military war games in the Persian Gulf, what a foolish remark.”

“The Persian Gulf is the Iranian nation’s home and the Persian Gulf and a large section of the Sea of Oman belong to this powerful nation,” Supreme Leader Khamenei said before adding, “Therefore, we should be present in the region, hold war games and display our power and it is the Americans who should say why they have come from that side of the world and stage drills in here. What are you doing here? Go back to the Bay of Pigs. Go and hold exercises there. What are you doing in the Persian Gulf? The Persian Gulf is our home.”

“The excessive demands of the powers should be confronted this way,” Supreme Leader Khamenei is quoted as saying in The Washington Free Beacon’s news article. The Obama administration has rallied the ‘Iranian Nuclear Deal’ as a success and both of the Democratic presidential candidates have campaigned on the ‘success’ of the deal.

Beijing launches an offensive ahead of South China Sea court ruling

Beijing has launched a charm offensive to shore up its position in the South China Sea ahead of a key international court decision widely expected to rule against its claims to the disputed waters.

Over the past two weeks, China has seen successes in courting India, Russia, Pakistan, Belarus, Laos — and even Brunei, one of six claimants to areas of the South China Sea. Most have found common ground with Beijing in its opposition to “internationalizing” the South China Sea issue.


The case brought before the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) at The Hague by the Philippines contests the legality of Beijing’s “nine-dash line” claim to most of the South China Sea. China has refused to participate in the case and has vowed to ignore the ruling, which may come later this month or in early June.

A raft of statements urging China to adhere to the ruling — including one by Britain last month — and a fierce lobbying campaign in the region by the United States, have likely prompted the recent flurry of moves by Beijing.

Game Over America! Get Your Money Out of the Bank

Would you throw good money after bad?  Well, if you are keeping your money in the bank and still paying taxes after reading this, you are throwing away everything you have worked for.

The undeniable and catastrophic truth behind the absolute collapse of the American economy is discussed int his article. America is getting hit with two major economic tsunamis and only a scant few are paying attention.

Catastrophic Statistical Comparisons

Most financial experts agree that there is an 800 pound gorilla in the room that is totally being ignored by the main stream media. The 800 pound gorilla is the college Student Load Program.

A striking parallel can be made between the Student loan debt of 2016 and the housing market bubble of 2007. For purposes of comparison, please keep in mind that the housing bubble collapsed the economy of the United States. The only reason that the collapse did not turn into a free-fall was because Congress allowed Wall Street to financially rape the people’s money and forcibly borrowed against the people’s future earnings. We called this process “bail-outs”. The problem is that the bail-outs were not able to stem the tide of the debt, it only served to slow down the crash and burn, while the bankers figured out how to liberate our personal assets as well (e.g. bank accounts and retirement funds).

The Twin Towers of Doom

I would be willing to bet that most of you think that the above-mentioned subtitle reference was about 9/11. It’s not, it is about the coincidence of a massive debt bubble that will ultimately make the housing market bubble look tame. And please remember that the housing market bubble is still critical and the first wave of this bubble nearly killed America.

America is ready to get hit with a new financial tsunami and it is the college Student Loan Debt. Before exploring the train wreck awaiting the American people because of the student loan debt problem, let’s dust off some cobwebs and show the readers the housing market bubble that nearly drove a stake through our collective hearts.

Don’t worry about the zeros, you will get eye strain. The important thing to see here is the astronomical rate of debt increase. The housing market bubble and the college Student Loan debt are nearly identical in their rate of ascension.

Pay particular attention to the collapse of the housing market. I laugh at the morons at MSNBC, Fox, CNN and all the other corporate controlled media outlets that repeatedly tell us our housing market is recovering. Recovering? Draw a straight line through the middle of he graph lines and even Ray Charles could see that the housing market is still crashing. What about those tiny spikes in the charts? They are called the “dead man’s bounce”, named after what happens when a body plunges to the street from the top of a tall building. What housing recovery? Mix in a little MERS mortgage fraud designed to steal home mortgages by creating a series of fake mortgage notes so the borrower does not know who to pay their mortgage to until it is too late, then we have the continuation of a crisis, that by itself could bring down the economy.

Meet the New Housing Bubble

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Anyone that cannot see the striking similarities between the housing market bubble and the student loan bubble, needs their eyes examined!

The Largest Asset of the U.S. Government is the Student Loan Debt

Tyler Durden made an interesting discovery as he found that a full 97% of principal for the Student Loan debacle is guaranteed by the US government. With nearly one in three college loans in repayment delinquency by over 30 days, we would be wise to look up in order to see what is coming. Do you see that 2,000 foot financial wall of water approaching America? The American economy is in such bad shape that the federal government’s biggest asset, student loan debt, is also its biggest liability.

Silence for effect ( IS IT SINKING IN, YET?) ………..

When the student loan debt begins to cut the legs out of the federal government’s financial resources, how will the government maintain financial support for the FDIC (insuring bank accounts), and home loans (the VA and FHA)?

How could anyone not notice what was happening? Sit down before you faint, the following chart will make you ask why you are still paying taxes to this failed entity we call the The United States of America.

With regard to the above chart, there is no mental assembly required. The numbers speak for themselves. Normally, when a country speaks about its assets, it talks about manufacturing or the discovery of the new mineral resources. In the United States, our biggest financial asset is our biggest financial debt. If this represented your personal financial strategy, how long would your family survive?

ECONOMIC TSUNAMI #1-THE CONTINUING HOUSING BUBBLE

ECONOMIC TSUNAMI #2- THE COLLEGE STUDENT LOAN DEBT

Conclusion

In descending order, American is facing several more tsunamis of economic destruction which will spin off of these two gigantic financial melt-downs and they are the banks, the Stock Market, manufacturing, shipping, and by the time we reach this point, you will not be able to obtain food and medicine.

REMEMBER: STORE FOOD, WATER, GUNS, NATURAL HEALTH CARE FOR CHRONIC CONDITIONS, AMMO, GOLD, AND THE BIBLE.

This is what happens 'if there is no God'

The director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, died May 2, 1972. For 48 years, under eight presidents, J. Edgar Hoover oversaw the Federal Bureau of Investigation, becoming famous for his dramatic campaigns to stop gangsters and organized crime.

Hoover established the use of fingerprints in law enforcement and successfully tracked down well-known criminals. FDR gave Hoover the task of investigating foreign espionage and left-wing activist groups.

J. Edgar Hoover stated: “The criminal is the product of spiritual starvation. Someone failed miserably to bring him to know God, love Him and serve Him.”

In 1981, Chuck Colson stated: “Imprisonment as a primary means of criminal punishment is a relatively modern concept. It was turned to as a humane alternative to the older patterns of harsh physical penalties for nearly all crimes. Quakers introduced the concept in Pennsylvania. …”

Chuck Colson continued: “The first American prison was established in Philadelphia when the Walnut Street Jail was converted into a series of solitary cells where offenders were kept in solitary confinement. The theory was that they would become ‘penitents,’ confessing their crimes before God and thereby gaining a spiritual rehabilitation. Hence, the name “penitentiary” – as a place for penitents.”

In the introduction to Edward L.R. Elson’s book, “America’s Spiritual Recovery,” 1954, J. Edgar Hoover wrote: “We can see all too clearly the devastating effects of Secularism on our Christian way of life. The period when it was smart to ‘debunk’ our traditions undermined … high standards of conduct. A rising emphasis on materialism caused a decline of ‘God-centered’ deeds and thoughts.”

J. Edgar Hoover continued: “The American home … ceased to be a school of moral and spiritual education. When spiritual guidance is at a low ebb, moral principles are in a state of deterioration. Secularism advances when men forget God.”

This is similar to Russian author Dostoevsky, who, in his book “The Brothers Karamazov,” had the character Ivan Karamazov contend that if there is no God, “everything is permitted.”

“Everything is permitted” is the amoral political strategy explained by Niccolo Machiavelli in his book, “The Prince,” 1515. Five hundred years ago, Italy consisted of many independent city-states: Venice, Genoa, Naples, Florence, Sienna, Amalfi, Milan, Corsica, Pisa, San Marino, Cospaia, Gaeta, Lucca, Noli, Trani and Papal states. These were primarily noblemen’s republics, each with their own armies and navies, and they continually fought.

Machiavelli thought that if once prince could control all of Italy, it would stop the in-fighting. He observed the ruthless tactics of Cesare Borgia (1475-1507), who reputedly used intrigue, deceit, seduction, incest, poisoning and assassination to usurp power.

Machiavelli wrote that in politics, “one must consider the final result,” a phrase more succinctly remembered as “the end justifies the means,” an adage which dates back to Ovid’s Heroides, 10 B.C.

The “end” of one prince controlling all of Italy was such a good end that any “means” necessary to get there was justified. If the prince wanted to conquer a city, in his quest to unify Italy, the people would hate him. But if the prince paid criminals under the table to burn barns, kill cows, smash windows and set buildings on fire, thus creating crises and terror in the streets, the people of the city would cry out for help.

The prince would come in, dispatch with the “useful idiot” criminals he paid, nobody would know the better for it, and the naive people, unaware of his subterfuge, would praise the prince as a hero.

It is good marketing, create the need and fill it: go around the back of a house and set it on fire, then go around to the front door and sell them a fire extinguisher – they will pay anything for it and thank you for being there.

Termed “Machiavellianism,” it the creating or capitalizing on crises to concentrate control, or as it is more popularly put, “never let a good crisis go to waste.”

H.L. Mencken wrote: “The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.”

Notorious tactics recorded by Machiavelli include:
“Politics have no relation to morals.”
“A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise.”
“The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present.”
“A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.”

Machiavelli explained how people actually want to believe lies from their leaders:
“Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions.”
“Men are so simple and yield so readily to the desires of the moment that he who will trick will always find another who will suffer to be tricked.”
“One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived.”

Machiavelli gave his maleficent counsel:
“No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.”
“It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver.”

Machiavelli promised “change”:
“I’m not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.”
“One change always leaves the way open for the establishment of others.”
“Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times.”

Machiavelli continued his baleful remarks:
“It is much more secure to be feared than to be loved.”
“It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.”
“Since it is difficult to join them together, it is safer to be feared than to be loved when one of the two must be lacking.”

“Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear.”
“If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.”

“Severities should be dealt out all at once, so that their suddenness may give less offense; benefits ought to be handed out drop by drop, so that they may be relished the more.”
“The new ruler must determine all the injuries that he will need to inflict. He must inflict them once and for all.”

“Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.”
“Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries – for heavy ones they cannot.”

“Whoever conquers a free town and does not demolish it commits a great error and may expect to be ruined himself.”


What society will fall victim to Machiavelli’s stratagems? William Holmes McGuffey warned in his “Newly Revised Rhetorical Guide,” 1853: “If you can induce a community to doubt the … authenticity of the Scriptures … whether there be an eternal state of retribution beyond the grave; or whether there exists any such being as God, you have broken down the barriers of moral virtue, and hoisted the flood-gates of immorality and crime.”

Samuel Adams stated Jan. 17, 1794: “A virtuous education is calculated to reach … the heart, and to prevent crimes. … Such an education, which leads the youth beyond mere outside show, will impress their minds with a profound reverence of the Deity.”

Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, wrote in “Essays – Literary, Moral, and Philosophical”: “In contemplating the political institutions of the United States, I lament that we waste so much time and money in punishing crimes and take so little pains to prevent them. … We neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government, that is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by the means of the Bible.”

Noah Webster wrote in his “History of the United States,” 1832: “All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”

U.S. Senator Theodore Frelinghuysen wrote: “The Bible … Seal up this one Volume and in a half century all these hopes would wither and these prospects perish forever. These sacred temples would crumble or become the receptacles of pollution and crime.”

President James Buchanan proclaimed a national day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer, Dec. 14, 1860: “In this the hour of our calamity and peril to whom shall we resort for relief but to the God of our fathers. His omnipotent arm only can save us from the awful effects of our own crimes.”
