Anniversary Issue

Here is a post I made a year ago on the other blog. It is not directly related to economics, but has the same end-game as economic manipulation: a one world government.

Convergence and The Big Push

We are in the final phases of preparation for a global government, and the evidence is comes from three major areas—economics, environmental, and extraterrestrial threats. 

The-powers-that-be have been planning our one world government for a long time, and conniving ways that we might be brought together. Twenty-some years ago, for example, American president Ronald Reagan mused that if there were a big external threat from say, the likes of sinister aliens, then the entire world could rally together as one. The idea was not new. It grew out of the Report from Iron Mountain, a "leaked government document" published in the popular press in 1967. The Iron Mountain report was supposedly created by fifteen experts in various fields that were asked to produce a report on how to deal with the problems that might arise from a condition of permanent peace. Although that was ostensibly the question they were charged with, somehow that was not the question that they answered. Instead the reply was that ongoing war, or a credible substitute for war, was an absolutely necessary condition to control the populace. They also offered the following substitute “institutions,” among others, for consideration as replacements for the nonmilitary functions of war: 

1. In the political sphere a) An omnipresent, virtually omnipotent international police force. b) An established and recognized extraterrestrial menace. c) Massive global environmental pollution. d) Fictitious alternate enemies.
2. In the sociological arena: control function. a) Programs generally derived from the Peace Corps model. a) A modern sophisticated form of slavery. Motivational function. a) Intensified environmental pollution. b) New religions or other mythologies.

The report was later discredited as being the fictitious creation of the person who wrote the book’s introduction. Although being discredited as a government document, it is most interesting that we find now, some 40 years after the fact, that a permanent condition of war, as well as most of these non-military functions of war have been established. Beginning with the Bush administration we are told that we will have war without end, and with an enemy that can be anywhere. This has not changed with the Obama administration. We have had an international police force for more than ten years in the form of the UN “peacekeeping” forces, who were active in Yugoslavia and now in Afghanistan. There are also programs afoot to standardize the police functions of various countries (now referred to almost exclusively as “states”). Massive global environmental pollution has been either allowed or created, and hyped beyond the boundaries of legitimate science to fulfill this plank. President Obama is said to be planning to establish subscription of youth for government and public service, similar to the Peace Corps model. And economically most people are the functional equivalent of slaves—“wage slaves” as they are called. New religions have not appeared although Project Blue Beam waits in the wings. And, the last item and focus of this piece is the extraterrestrial menace.

Actually all three methods are being used, and since we are in the final phase, The Big Push is on, and we are only weeks, or even days away from “convergence.” Convergence is the term that I use for that time when all three efforts will be brought to their implementation or culmination. Each aspect of the Big Push should make us want to join together as one global family. The hope is that all three happening at the same time will definitely make us want to drop all attachment to artificially imposed boundaries and discover our common humanity, AND at the same time make us call out to government leaders to SAVE US!!! They will willingly oblige us by offering us a global government with very restricted freedoms.

I pointed out the Economic Push a couple of weeks ago in the piece about the Gingerbread Man (see below). In a life threatening situation the Gingerbread Man took the help of the fox who promised to help him, only to devour him. In our story the fox is the global government, and we are all gingerbread men now. In that article I detail how all of the plans are being laid to bring us inexorably to a global government that is responsible to no one. The Economic Push could see its culmination with another economic tsunami similar to the one we thought we just rode out. In any case the stage is being set and the curtain will rise before long on the final act of that play. 

The Big Push environmentally is slated to take place in Copenhagen on December 20, just a few weeks away. The Climate Treaty that will be signed there will in fact establish a global government, and those exact words are in the treaty, according to Lord Christopher Monckton, who gave a presentation in St. Paul, Minnesota projecting that President Obama is scheduled to sign away America’s independence. Of course since the “Climate-Gate” scandal exploded days ago revealing document destruction, coordinated efforts in the U.S. and UK to avoid complying with freedom of information laws, and apparent and widespread intent to defraud at the highest levels of international climate science bodies, what was almost a foregone conclusion has now become a cliffhanger. My prediction is that this will not be too big a problem. Lies will be covered with more preposterous lies, and the deal will be sealed. 

That leaves the third prong, one which we have only had hints and glimpses of so far—and that is the aliens. According to one of my facebook friends “they” are supposed to be revealed as early as today! Others say that none other than Obama will reveal the long-held secret that we are in contact with alien life forms. 

Just so you don’t get the wrong idea, I don’t follow all of this too closely, mostly I read the headlines, and sometimes that is too much. But that can be enough to understand the big picture. When the headlines are grouped together you can easily see how we are being prepared for the inevitable event. Knowing the plot of the play, as I see headlines that support it I copy the file. Below you will find a list of file name of the stories that I have noted in my normal browsing habits. I began to gather these when I noted that there was an unusual shift to increasing openness, acceptance and reporting of alien life, and noticed that it was coming from all quarters—from governments around the world, from scientists, astronauts, and even the Vatican!

The support must first be laid for alien life, and the scientists are doing that by finding life on earth in very unusual places, such as in glaciers, and in the stratosphere, suggesting that life can appear in many places we formerly thought impossible. Maybe life can be in other places previously thought impossible. Then water is found on Mars, suggesting that yes, there could have been life on Mars at one time too. And they now calculate that there must be billions and even trillions of other planets out there, similar to our earth, that can support life. Even our space experts, our astronauts, are telling us that “yes, aliens are real,” and if anybody, those out-of-this-world travelers should know.

Then the Vatican is doing their part to prepare Christians by reversing their millennia old position that there is no other life besides that on earth, and they are even joining in the search. But the Director of the Vatican Observatory, the Jesuit priest Father Jose Gabriel Funes, has gone much further than to state that there are merely extraterrestrials. He has said that intelligent extraterrestrial life may not have experienced a ‘fall’, and may be, “free from Original Sin… [remaining] in full friendship with their creator.” We agree with him that there are indeed intelligent beings on other planets of this nature. In the Vedic tradition we refer to these beings as “demigods,” who carry out universal administrative functions. Formerly they would visit the earth, but no longer do so due to the sinful condition of this planet in the Kali yuga. Although I found it difficult to give Project Blue Beam much credence, the idea coming from Father Funes gives that possibility credibility.  

Then we have the Japanese Defense Minister, in typical Japanese B-movie fashion ala King Kong, going one better and even making preparations for defense against a UFO invasion. I’m not kidding!

 For some reason or other, in 2009 many governments have begun a policy of openness on the E. T. issue, opening their long-classified documents of close encounters to public scrutiny. But the real icing of the cake is personal experience. Seeing is believing as they say. Increased personal sightings and increased UFO activity have increased to a record pace in 2009. 

The trend is unmistakable – we are being prepared to accept that “they are real” (wasn’t that the name of an old sci fi movie?). Of course they are. The Vedic literatures explain that there is life everywhere, and that there are hundreds of thousands of intelligent life forms. This was very nicely explained by the late Sadaputa Das (Richard L. Thompson) in his remarkable book “Alien Identities.”

 Not only are they real, they are HERE! What’s going to happen when “they” show up? Are they friends or foes? We are reminded of the invasion of the earth back in 1938, the story broadcast over radio by Orson Welles, although a Halloween prank, had people panicked and freaking out. What will people do today? Of course, we now have television and the internet, so everyone should get a front row seat to the historic event. Reactions may be quite different as opinion polls reflect that some 30% of people accept that we are not alone in the universe. Many think that E.T. is our friend, but others, such as abduction victims, have a very different opinion.

In the year since this was last posted I have continued tracking aliens in the news. The propaganda has continued with these headlines:

discovering life on other worlds is greater than ever, according Britain's leading astronomer. 25 Jan 2010

Aliens visiting Earth will be just like humans, scientist claims 25 Jan 2010

We are not alone: One in four stars 'may have Earth-like planets in orbit around them'

Alien life certain to exist on Earth-like planet, scientists say 30 Sept 2010

Mission to search for alien life in outer atmosphere 2 Oct 2010

Ancient lakes found on Mars 'may have hosted life' 29 Oct 2010

And here is the real kicker! Taking cues from Walmart about how to portray a friendly image, the UN has appointed an official greeter for alien visitors:

UN 'to appoint space ambassador to greet alien visitors' 26 Sep 2010

Now here is further confirmation that this plan has been in the works for decades and may soon come to fruition.  This video is from a conference of "the Disclosure Project" held in the year 2001.

So the beat goes on. We are being prepared for contact, which they hope will sufficiently frighten everyone into accepting space-based weapons and a global government to protect us all from THEM. What to do? Prepare yourself by working on your own spiritual life, because after all, in the final act, we are all aliens here - spiritual beings living in a material world who will all leave this world for another place unknown to us. The death rate is still 100% and in human life we have the opportunity to prepare for our journey after the experience in this body is finished. Using that time to our best advantage will also help raise the level of consciousness on the entire planet which will help the solution. The solution that I suggest is calling on the help of, and taking shelter of, the Lord by chanting His names with the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra, the great chanting for deliverance: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Try it for yourself. Chant, and be happy.

And if any readers can help me learn about formatting on blogger, I would be most grateful!

A Little History to Keep Things in Perspective

Last year I made a number of posts that foretold the demise of the dollar. There is no conspiracy -- it's all in the headlines for God's sake. Just read it and you know what to do. In March of this year I removed all of them from my spiritual-econ.blogspot in order to focus more on the spiritual aspect of economic behavior there, and put all of the mundane aspects of economics here.

Now, here we are 9 months later and it is very clear where the dollar is headed, as everybody and his brother are seeing the handwriting on the wall and are moving their savings into precious metals. Hindsight is always fun when you have been correct in your prognotications, so let’s have a look at what we said last year, and look again at the course we are on. All the history is below. The reinterpretation will be in the next post.

Not so widely broadcast economic news

"Some U.S. embassies worldwide are being advised to purchase massive amounts of local currencies; enough to last them a year. Some embassies are being sent enormous amounts of U.S. cash to purchase currencies from those governments, quietly. But not pound sterling. Inside the State Dept., there is a sense of sadness and foreboding that 'something' is about to happen ... within 180 days, but could be 120-150 days."

"Another FDR-style 'bank holiday' of indefinite length, perhaps soon, to let the insiders sort out the bank mess, which (despite their rosy propaganda campaign) is getting more out of their control every day. Insiders want to impose new bank rules. Widespread nationalization could result, already underway. It could also lead to a formal U.S. dollar devaluation, as FDR did by revaluing gold (and then confiscating it)."

This news is from the Harry Schultz [economic advisory] Letter. I've heard from other sources of a coming "bank holiday". The banks close and you can't get "your" money. Some say it can come as early as September. Time for Spiritual Economics that is immune to any and all economic disasters!

New World Currency is a Prelude to a New World Government

Not ready for a new world government? Well, get ready because its coming to a neighborhood near you. The move is quite simple: follow the European model. Economics leads, politics follows. The European Common Market began solely to facilitate trade between two countries. Those who warned that this would lead to a political union were criticized as luddites. But now, just a generation later, there is a European flag, a "national" anthem, and of course, efforts are under way to create a European constitution if the Irish will vote "as they should" to ratify the treaty. (of course the Irish didn't want it before, and neither did any other people where the constitution was put to a popular vote. We'll see if enough sweeteners were added to the deal to get the Irish to capitulate when the vote comes up again soon).

For a world government we will of course need a world currency (such as President Medvedev is proposing at the G8 summit meeting going on now). We will also need a world tax. Joan Veon has been writing for more than ten years to inform us how the global economic system is stealthily being put into place. And after all this happens a global government is not far behind. All the better to serve you of course.

Here is how the new global money is being presented by Medvedev. For the full article please click here

In a highly symbolic moment at the G8 summit in Italy today, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev unveiled to reporters a coin representing a “united future world currency”.

“We are discussing both the use of other national currencies, including the ruble, as a reserve currency, as well as supranational currencies,” the Russian leader said at a news conference.

However, those who have downplayed the formulation of a world currency by dismissing it as merely a progression of SDR’s (Special Drawing Rights) and not something that would physically be used by citizens in a system of world government, were contradicted when Medvedev clearly outlined that the new currency would be “used for payment” by citizens as a “united future world currency”.

“This is a symbol of our unity and our desire to settle such issues jointly,” Medvedev said.

“Here it is,” Medvedev told reporters today in L’Aquila, Italy, after a summit of the Group of Eight nations. “You can see it and touch it,” reports Bloomberg.

The question of a supranational currency “concerns everyone now, even the mints,” Medvedev said. The test coin “means they’re getting ready. I think it’s a good sign that we understand how interdependent we are.”

Medvedev explained that the coin had been minted in Belgium and bears the words “unity in diversity”. An RIA Novosti report noted that the coin represented an example of a “possible global currency”.

The economic problem is not that difficult to solve. In fact it is very easy to solve locally everywhere in the world. A global currency will not solve any problems. It will only make things worse because people will lose more control over their lives. In the context of modern society Jane Jacobs taught this simple lesson more than 20 years ago in her book "Cities and the Wealth of Nations". Nothing has changed since. In the context of the absolute truth this lesson has been taught in the Vedic literatures for thousands of years. Nothing has changed since. The truth is always the truth.

Now here is an entire list of items foretelling the demise of the dollar:

Collapse of the Dollar is Imminent; so is the Gift Economy

Last year news of impending economic calamity heralded the crisis of September. In the same way this year there has been news heralding the demise of the US dollar. Likely though you only saw this if you search out the economic news that is off of the mainstream. As stated in earlier posts, the dollar is being put in the hearse, or the trash. WARNING: MOVE YOUR SAVINGS OUT OF DOLLARS AND POUND STERLING. Recommended: a one-year supply of food grains and other items of demand that can be used for barter.


If I am wrong you will eat the food, and barter whatever you have stocked. The loss will only be the transaction fee for changing currency. If I am right and you don’t act, well, the loss of whatever you have in dollars could be complete. Remember: all paper currency is ONLY PAPER! It has NO intrinsic value. It is WORTHLESS PAPER that we have been trained to believe has value. NOT.

If you want to store wealth, then store it in something that can be used and is wanted by people, such as food and other household items. Store things that you will use as if it were money in the bank, because it is, and is much, much safer.

It’s not just my idea that the dollar is doomed. Here are indications that came up over the past four months that point to the demise of the buck:

The Global European Anticipation Bulletin
Public announcement Special Summer 2009 GEAB N°36 (June 17, 2009) –

At this stage of the global systemic crisis’ process of development, contrary to the dominant political and media stance today, the LEAP/E2020 team does not foresee any economic upsurge after summer 2009 (nor in the following 12 months). On the contrary, because the origins of the crisis remain unaddressed, we estimate that the summer 2009 will be marked by the converging of three very destructive « rogue waves », illustrating the aggravation of the crisis and entailing major upheaval by September/October 2009. As always since this crisis started, each region of the world will be affected neither at the same moment, nor in the same way. However, according to our researchers, all of them will be concerned by a significant deterioration in their situation by the end of summer 2009.

Those three waves are: 
1. Wave of massive unemployment: Three different dates of impact according to the countries in America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa 
2. Wave of serial corporate bankruptcies: companies, banks, housing, states, counties, towns 
3. Wave of terminal crisis for the US Dollar, US T-Bond and GBP, and the return of inflation


World Prepares to Dump the Dollar

July 21, 2009 | Robert Morley From theTrumpet.com
American economists think the world can’t afford to let go of the dollar’s reserve currency status. The world is about to teach them differently. 
 
What do China, India, Brazil, Russia, France and Germany have in common? These countries most often can’t agree on anything. But they are united in one strange—and ominous—way. They blame the United States for wrecking the global economy. And they think the dollar is the wrecking ball. 

One rock-solid, foundational belief underpins almost all economic theory in America: faith in the dollar’s unassailable status as the world’s reserve currency. Foreigners hold so many dollars that they can’t afford to stop buying them, the theory goes. Therefore the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency is sound. But the dollar is now coming under a concentrated attack. Are American economists about to get schooled?

Angela Merkel summed up the dollar-skeptic viewpoint last year. “Excessively cheap money in the U.S. was a driver of today’s crisis,” she told the German parliament. And America’s solution—even more cheap money—was just setting the world up for another crisis, she said. It was just a matter of time.

China attacks dollar’s dominance

Published: July 9 2009

China has launched its highest-profile criticism of the dominant role of the US dollar as a global reserve currency at a meeting of the world’s biggest economies.

Dai Bingguo, Chinese state councillor, raised the issue on Thursday when he joined the leaders of four other emerging economies for talks with the leaders of the Group of Eight industrialised nations – including US President Barack Obama – in the earthquake-damaged Italian town of L’Aquila.

Bilderberg Group orders destruction of US Dollar?  
Thursday, 21 May 2009

(If you don’t know who they are you can find out about the super-secret Bilderberg Group here, and here, and here)

The shadowy Bilderberg Group, who this past week held their annual meeting in Greece, states that the West’s financial, political and corporate elite emerged from their conclave after coming to an agreement that in order to continue their drive towards a New World Order dominated by the Western Powers, the US Dollar has to be “totally” destroyed.

Even worse, a new US report on these secret Bilderberg meetings states: “Investigative journalist Daniel Estulin, whose information from inside Bilderberg has routinely proven accurate, states that the global elite’s plan to completely destroy the economy and ultimately lower global population by two-thirds has stoked fears even within Bilderberg itself that the fallout from such chaos could ultimately result in the globalists losing their control over the world.”


Russian President Medvedev has joined with China, Brazil, and other Nations, to and has put forth the Russian Ruble as one of a number of International Reserve Currencies to replace the soon to collapse American currency. [Medvedev also displayed a shiny gold coin at the G8 summit as a possible new Global currency to replace the dollar].

And back in April, economic reporter Ambrose Evans-Pritchard wrote for The Telegraph:

The G20 moves the world a step closer to a global currency 

Following the April 2009 G20 Summit, leaders issued a communiqué which set the groundwork for the creation of a global currency to replace the US dollar as the world reserve currency. The communiqué stated that, “We have agreed to support a general SDR allocation which will inject $250bn (£170bn) into the world economy and increase global liquidity.” SDRs, or Special Drawing Rights, are “a synthetic paper currency issued by the International Monetary Fund.” As the Telegraph reported, “the G20 leaders have activated the IMF's power to create money and begin global "quantitative easing". In doing so, they are putting a de facto world currency into play. It is outside the control of any sovereign body.


So there it is. News that the next economic crunch could begin as early as next week, close to the one-year anniversary of last years debacle. And if you want to know what’s in store after that, scroll down and read my post: “Economic Chernobyl of 2008”. 

Who Says An Economic Debacle Has to be Tragic?


When the dollar tanks people are going to be looking for ways to cope. If the government’s currency fails then it is possible to create a private currency to use in local areas. There are many advantages of a private currency over the government’s paper currency. The town of Wörgl Germany did this during the depression of the 1930’s, leading to a very prosperous city despite being surrounded by depression and gloom. Six neighboring villages copied the system successfully. The French Prime Minister made a visit to see the 'miracle of Wörgl'. In January 1933, the project was replicated in the neighboring city of Kirchbuhl, and in June 1933, Mayor Unterguggenburger addressed a meeting with representatives from 170 different towns and villages. Two hundred Austrian townships were interested in adopting the idea. 
Unfortunately when the Austrian government learned about the success of the intelligent local leaders, did they copy it elsewhere? No. They made it illegal and condemned Worgl to the same economic malaise as the rest of the country. The Central Bank panicked, and decided to assert its monopoly rights by banning complimentary currencies. The case was brought to the Austrian Supreme Court, which upheld the Central Banks monopoly over issuing currency. It then became a criminal offence to issue “emergency currency”. Worgl quickly returned to 30% unemployment. Social unrest spread rapidly across Austria. In 1938 Hitler annexed Austria and many people welcomed Hitler as their economic and political savior. 
This lesson in history proves that the governments actually want to create such problems. In this case so that Hitler would be welcomed and not scorned. Worgl wasn’t alone however, and there were more than 2,000 private currencies in circulation in the United States during the Great Depression, and there are today more than 2000 private currencies in use around the world. More recently entire cities of Argentina created their own local currencies when the government currency failed. 

Economics is not such a confusing subject that well-intentioned people cannot run the economies properly. It CAN be done. But they don’t want to. If you want to understand why please download and read my book. Read Bob Chapman’s International Forecaster. Or Read Dr. J. W. Smith’s good books. Or read Joan Veon, or Ellen Brown, or Catherine Austin Fitts. All of these good people know what is going on. They know that the current economic problems are no mistake. They have been deliberately planned, and they say so.

The Ultimate Solution is the GIFT ECONOMY

Now, if the government steps in and quashes your local money, the ultimate solution is the gift economy, AND NOBODY CAN STOP IT. NOBODY. 

Even in difficult economic times you can have what you need IF you are willing to give up your attachment to the concepts of “I” and “Mine” that we have been indoctrinated in from youth, and act according to the adage that God provides for everybody and everything in this world is meant to be used for the benefit of all. Not hoarded in one’s private account. It’s possible. There are many examples, here on this page and elsewhere online. Google “gift economy” and you will get more than 170,000 hits! Don’t just google it, see what other people are doing and with that inspiration, join in the fun! Who says an economic calamity has to be tragic?

Financial Reality with Max Keiser

Finally I have had a day with high-speed internet access and with QE2 in the news I took the opportunity to see what the pundits were saying. I began with Max Keiser. If you don't know him, this guy is great. He simply tells it like it is: the people controlling the economic future of the world are all crooks involved in racketeering and should be thrown in jail. This is the Economics of Ignorance coming to a neighborhood near you. Anyway, watch Max explain this--it's entertaining as can be. You will get a great laugh, but take him seriously.

His co-host Stacey Herbert reads several headlines that Max rants about and that I had wanted to write about, so they have both saved me some trouble, and made a far more entertaining report than I had in mind.(guess I'll have to get a camera and start doing videos:-). And, in this report, Max brings on David Morgan, one of the world's leading experts in the silver market. The moral of his story is, buy silver NOW! Why? Because soon the dollar is not going to be worth jack. More on that from another heavy hitter later today...

One final item of note is that The Keiser Report is hosted by RT. Those initials stand for Russia Today. It is most amazing to me to see that the truth, as I know it, of many events coming from Russia. We have come to the point in history when the US acts every bit like the Soviet Union did years ago. When I was a child we were told so much propaganda in school about the Soviets during the cold war. We were told that they hated our way of life and wanted to destroy us (same crap they rolled out prior to both invasions of Iraq). That their media was filled with lying propaganda, and the people had no access to the truth. That they encouraged all of their people to spy on each other. That they had nuclear missiles aimed at our major cities and we practiced "duck and cover" drills in school of getting down under our desks and covering our heads with our arms (like that's going to be any kind of defense against a nuclear blast. Actually it was all true. It was also a terror campaign against the citizens.

My parents lived in the flight path of the Detroit Metro Airport and the early jets were very noisy. You could hear them approaching to land, and as I lay in bed at night hearing this I would think "IT'S THE RUSSIANS!! THEY'VE COME TO DROP THE BOMB!!" So I would pull the blankets over my head and hold my breath until the plane had passed. Whew! That was close, and we survived!

So now we have reached the place where the poles have shifted. America has become what they told us the Soviets were like. The American people are subject to so much lying propaganda and harassment from their government, the latest being their treatment at airports. And as I now live in former Soviet Union countries I feel more protected than I would feel were I back home. The irony is just amazing.
