Oh, What World Will It Be?

I have 4 grandchildren and 1 more on the way!  Of course, they bring much joy as they learn, grow and discover our world, their world.  The experience of observing their experience is exciting and rewarding!  What will their world be?  What will be the opportunities, challenges and life decisions?

Will they be inundated with the usual form of government which enslaves them with those typical demands?  Will they be forced to conform in the name of safety, technological advancements and high financial costs?

Or will they learn the value of personal achievement, and decision making that expresses their individual sovereignty?

I see today so many a downcast countenance resulting from that feelling that one can not improve one’s lot in life due to governmental, and societal corrals built against and around us.  Political Correctness (PC), seems to rule the day on every front.  Mao would be so happy, “Toe the Party Line!”

Is there hope for my grandchildren?  Yes!  We live in the one exception to the ordinary when it comes to our form of government.  Self government!  Self government to be sure, requires of each citizen personal responsibility.

I unequivocally support the second amendment!  Why?  Because it restricts the government and calls upon the citizen for great responsibility.  It demands upon us for high ethical standards at the most critical of human endeavor, the power over life and death in the matter of self defense.  We are born with this right to self defense.  And we must exercise the right to enjoy possession of the right.  Right choices are forced upon each individual in the face of this incredible responsibility.

So I hope for my grandchildren that they will make life decisions that reflect their individual sovereignty.  That they will never settle for less.  That they will reject dependency upon big, bloated, socialistic forms and functions of government.  That they will come to understand in practical ways how unusual in the course of history the United States of America really is.  That they will be personally responsible for the success of themselves and their fellow citizens and neighbors.

Thank you for visiting and reading.

WHAT POSTURE SHOULD CHRISTIANS ASSUME?

What was the mood, the posture or stance of the Christians in Germany during the late 1930’s?

The question is genuine. My sense of the matter is that when most want to be passive, and inner feelings, and intuitions say we should, there are only few who get it, we must stand up for what is right.
What does God expect of us? Defend the innocent, defeat the wicked. We brought the great war to and end, not by passivity, but by well orchestrated actions…actions that have seared our own souls.
Perhaps some want to engage in “white guilt.” Some in “Christian guilt.” I reject both. We are obliged to do what is right. Not what we feel, but what is morally, doctrinally, right.
The future is not pretty. But peace doesn’t not come through passivity or weakness. Peace comes through strength. Enemies and potential enemies must have the clear understanding that we are not soft target victims ready for their plunder and deceit.
I am not recommending a hostile stance. I am merely pointing out that through word and deed, our position points everyone to freedom. We will not accept domination from any.
This is like Germany, 1938-9. It is not a time for Christians to accept the “sit down, shutup” orders of the pc left. It is time to be active in our faith in its every expression. Stand for the right doings and the right sayings, in word and deed be all you were created to be.

The Coming Crisis – Loss of the Dollar as Reserve Currency, What Can You Do?

Some of you are cleansing your guilt for voting for Obama by citing that he DEFICIT has gone down. Yes, if you start from 2009 (that, only a little). No, if you start from 2008.  This DEFICIT reduction is way too insignificant to help the real trouble.

The ugly truth is, the operating DEBT has more than doubled since Obama took office. This is because the US is “printing” money at a rate of $65 billion a month. We are spending $200 million every hour, all borrowed money. Unemployment is at 12-13%, depending on who you listen to. The official figure, only counting those receiving unemployment benefits is 6%, is simply a cover up of the real unemployed.

More people than ever are on “disability.” Many have retired early, living on less than planned, and sealing their income to a much lower level. Much fewer people are working than ever before.

This economy is not in recovery. It is dwindling, and that is being papered over by our government with more DEBT. While the operating DEBT is around 18 trillion dollars, the unfunded liabilities added to the operating DEBT is said to be over 100 Trillion dollars. Your grandchildren won’t even be able to pay this off.

No country has ever done well by simply printing more money. You can’t borrow and spend your way to prosperity. This is not a theory. This is fact. No rationale can make borrowing and spending the solution to prosperity.

The federal government is considering a wealth tax. They are also considering confiscation of your retirement funds. They are not protecting us from terrorism since they have adopted this open border policy. Taxes are necessarily rising, since spending is out of control with no indication that congress or the executive branch will change this.  Businesses, the only agents of job creation, are being forced overseas by increased taxes and regulations.

Worse than any of this is that the US Dollar, the RESERVE CURRENCY of the world, it about to stop being the reserve currency. When that happens, we will see inflation in this country as never before.  Probably you’ve never thought about what a reserve currency is, or what it means for the country whose money  holds the reserve currency status in the world.  I suggest you educate your self.  Look up “reserve currency,” and “SDR.”  You may be shocked at what you find.  Basically, the US dollar is not likely to survive being the reserve currency much longer.   That means your dollar won’t be worth as much as it has been, by a long shot!

Most of this is just my opinion, but if you do a little search, you’ll find that this stuff is coming at us all, hard and fast. You might quibble with me over the details, dollar amounts, or terminology. That’s a waste of time.

As an individual, what should you do? All I can say is, get out of your personal debt. Pay it off. Find ways to invest in and protect assets that will last. There may be more you can do, I’ll leave that up to you. Most of all, put your trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, but don’t make that just a caveat for planning and acting on the plans.  Jesus expects us to care for one another, we can’t do that if we are foolishly or unnecessarily dependent on others.  Your wealth and prosperity are what give you the ability to care for yourself and others in meaningful ways.

You can do this, plan, educate yourself, follow through and depend on yourself because God has uniquely equipped you to do whatever challenges you.
