[FamilyofGod] THE NEXT GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS.

 


THE NEXT GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS.

Will the world experience a new economic crisis that will be even more serious that the one that we have just been through or enter a period of sustained economic growth?

It is now becoming clear that the Anglo-Saxon and some European nations have not recovered from the recent economic crisis as was expected a year ago, and will slide back into a double-dip recession.   What has gone wrong? Why has not the economic stimulus packages worked?  Many economists had expected that by now that the USA would be in economic recovery, not facing high unemployment and a faltering economy.  Now, out of desperation the USA and UK are planning to print even more money in an effort to revive their faltering economies.

Meanwhile many other economies have recovered strongly from the recent recession.  In Europe the Germany economy is recovering strongly, as have most of the Asian economies.  Why have the Anglo-Saxon and some European nations not been able to do likewise?

The reasons are simple.  It does not require an economist with a PhD to figure out that if a country spends more than it earns year after year, eventually they will be in trouble.  While often economists disagree with one another on the causes and solutions, the fundamental problem why the English speaking nations are in the mess they are today is because for years they have lived beyond their means on borrowed money.  Sadly, nothing has been done to correct this, which was the cause of the recent recession; rather the current economic policies of the Anglo-Saxon nations are only made the situation worse.

The reasons for the economic crisis were:

1.        Large trade deficits – the Anglo-Saxon nations have been importing far more than they export.

2.       To finance their imports they have borrowed money from creditor nations with trade surpluses, which they now need to repay along with the interest.

3.       Much of the GNP growth up to 2007 in these nations was in consummation of imported goods, housing and the service sector, while manufacturing declined.

4.       The cost of servicing this debt has escalated while government revenues have declined.

5.       Over generous welfare programs which have drained financial resources from the productive sectors of the economy.

6.       A break-down on the moral fabric of society and poor work ethics

7.       Costly wars and expensive defense budgets.

In an effort to revive their economies from the recession governments have operated large deficits by creating stimulus packages with borrowed and printed money.  They have continued to borrow off their creditor nations, increasing their international debt which is making long-term recovery even more difficult.

The UK and some European Governments have recently slashed Government expenditure, acknowledging they can no continue to borrow to finance their deficits.  The UK is now insolvent, struggling to pay the interest on their enormous national debt, while still incurring further debt.  The cut-backs have been so drastic that the UK economy will remain economically depressed for years.

Rather than accept responsibility for the financial mess many countries are now in, politicians have blamed bankers and speculators, instead of admitting it was their own fiscal policies that created the crisis in the first place.  Bankers make their money by lending – if loose monetary policies create too much money in circulation then bankers will find new customers to lend money – the result being the prime-housing bubble and banking crisis.  Existing loose monetary policies have continued, putting more fuel on the flames, with this time the governments themselves taking the risk, not the bankers.

Governments are like any business or household – if they spend more than earn they will eventually face bankruptcy. We now have a situation where some governments face the prospect of not being able to repay their debts, much in the same way many corporations failed during the recent recession.  To add to their woes, to prop up the failing banking systems, governments have printed money to either lend to these insolvent institutions, invested in them, or have provided loan guarantees.  As the US and UK economy continues to weaken, many of the institutions that their governments have propped up will fail, dragging down the governments themselves.

The next economic crisis will be bought about when nations default on their loans, rather than a banking crisis as was bought about with the last crisis.  Governments around the world have recklessly borrowed excessively to prop up their collapsing financial institutions; transferring much of the debt from these failed institutions to governments own balance sheets.  While some of this debt has been financed by printing money, a considerable amount has also been financed through borrowing on international money markets.  Governments around the world now owe over 57 trillion dollars in debt, not including local government and pension debt.  Managing this debt will soon become unsustainable – governments will simply not have the money to repay the interest let alone repaying the loans.  There will be a chain-reaction of sovereign bankruptcy.

Many nations outside the Eurozone have resorted to printing money to inflate their economies, injecting funds into propping up their banking systems and spending on infrastructure projects.  The USA, Japan and the UK have been among the countries less able to afford such increased spending because of the level of their national debt, but other nations have also resorted to the same practice, including India and China.  The consequence of this global printing of money will result in debasing the value of most currencies – we are already seeing a flight to gold by canny investors.

Already in Europe Portugal, Greece, Spain and Ireland their Governments face the possibility of defaulting.  Other EU countries are being forced to live within their incomes, creating depressed domestic economic conditions. The Eurozone countries have not been able to print money and have had to slash government expenditure in an effort to balance their budgets.  Such dramatic cut-backs in government expenditure has resulted in the contraction in their economies, rising unemployment, and the growing danger of political instability.

What will now unfold?

Many may not realise that the world is now awash with money.   The increase in the money supply as a part of the economic stimulus package has resulted a weakening of the US dollar and now threatening to destabilize global trade. Other nations are now printing money to buy dollars in an attempt to prevent their currencies rising against the dollar.  Eventually this will fail as printing money will not help in achieving sustainable economic growth, and will only cause a lack of confidence in the value of currencies, leading to inflation and financial collapse.  Those nations that have linked their currencies to the dollar, especially the Asian currencies, will see the dollar reserves wiped out, and massive devaluation of their own currencies.  This will create a new global economic crisis, much worse than what was experienced in 2008.

The collapse of the US dollar will bring on a period of considerable political of social unrest around the world, with many governments collapsing. With the collapse of government there will be wide-spread political unrest, as people demand a return to prosperity, even if it means giving up individual freedoms.  People will look for a strong leader who can restore world peace and prosperity.  Already in Western Europe civil unrest is spreading, as their populations refuse to accept the reforms required to enable countries to restore their economies.

The reshaping of Europe.

The European Central Bank which has adopted a more conservative fiscal policy than other Central Banks, as a part of their mandate to maintain a stable Euro; requiring its member states in the Eurozone to live within their incomes.  This will eventually see the Euro replace the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency, because of sounder fiscal policies.  It is also being dominated by Germany, leading the Eurozone becoming the dominant monetary power to restore a new world economic order.

The EU now consists of one group of European nations showing strong economic growth under-pinned by a re-emergent German economy, and another other group weighed down with debt, experiencing economic stagnation.   There is a growing unwillingness by those Eurozone countries that have recovered from the economic crisis to continue supporting those nations struggling with unsustainable debt levels.  Rather than the wealthier nations continuing to prop up those EU nations facing insolvency, the Eurozone is expected to restructure, with the German-led coalition dictating the monetary and political policies for the Eurozone, something that will be difficult under the existing structure. Those nations that cannot get their economies back into balance could be either forced out of the Eurozone, or have their economies controlled by the ECB or similar body, in return to being bailed out.

There has been a shift of power in the EU towards Germany, which is the largest and strongest growing economy (3.5% growth) and the leading exporter.  The German economy has gone through several years of economic readjustment to where it is now one of the most competitive in the world, is the world’s second largest exporter, and has benefited from adopting more conservative fiscal policies than other nations.  Germany is experiencing a growing self-confidence and becoming much more assertive in reshaping Europe into a cohesive political and economic union.  With the support of France, Germany is pushing for further amendments to the EU constitution to bring this about a more cohesive European Union

Ireland, Spain, Portugal and Greece are being forced to restructure their economies in effort to recover.  One option is to leave the Eurozone to allow their currencies to devalue and make the adjustments to their economies to enable them to recover.  Other heavily indebted Eurozone nations such as Italy, Netherlands and even France could be threaten with expulsion unless they can get their budget deficits in order.

Even those Eurozone countries that have recovering economies have large national debts which they need to reduce.  They are not in a position or willing to support those Eurozone member countries facing insolvency.

Meanwhile a number of the EU countries outside the Eurozone are being forced to make painful adjustments to their economies.  In particular the UK and the Eastern European nations (with the exception of Poland) have to learn to live with falling taxation revenue, high unemployment, and stagnant economic growth. The UK is unlikely to recover.

However it will not be till the collapse of the US dollar that the world will be thrown into the next economic crisis that will force the reshaping of the reshaping of a new economic and political landscape of the world.  The dollar is expected to weaken significantly next year as the increase in the US money supply will stimulate consumer spending, creating inflationary pressures and widen the current account deficit.  This will trigger off another global economic crisis.

A new economic order will replace the failed Anglo-Saxon capitalistic model.  A German-dominated Europe will install a new economic order upon the world, with the Euro becoming the world’s only reserve currency.  It is only from such crises will the Europeans be willing to accept a strong leader and provide the political support for such a leader to impose unity and reforms upon a politically fragmented EU.

 This new global economic order under a German-led EU will impose upon the world reforms to create a new regulated world economy to manage international trade, enforce social, environmental and religious standards upon the world under the pretense of maintaining world peace, protecting the environment, and maintaining prosperity.  Many individual freedoms will be suppressed for the sake of the State in bringing about a new world order.  Germany will be the one nation that can lead the world to economic recovery, but will only do so on its terms.

Meanwhile the Anglo-Saxon nations will be forced to repay their debts, their assets sold off, and their people forced to live in poverty.  They will be little sympathy for the plight of the bankrupt English-speaking world from their creditors, who will have lost much of their wealth because of Anglo-Saxon extravagance. The people of the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand will be enslaved to their creditor nations, and will enter a time of great suffering and hardship.

History is unfolding right before our eyes, as a new economic order is forced upon the world to replace the old failed model.  It will be a regulated system in an attempt to avoid the distortions in the market that has happened over the last few years.  While this new economic system will bring in a period of global prosperity for a short time, it will also fail.  It will only be when a new world government is installed upon the earth based on the Law of God, under the rulership of Jesus Christ, that the world will experience peace and prosperity.

[FamilyofGod] It's all from God

 

This story seems a little petty at first -- but it isn't. Please, read this and
I promise you will be blessed. This isn't just a list of what I did this
weekend. This is a testimony to the power of God. Please, read this -- I
promise you if you aren't blessed you didn't read it right the first time.

This weekend two of my friends were staying at my house. Andrea and Amy are two
of my best friends. Amy was my maid of honor in my wedding. Andrea was one of
the other bridesmaids. Andrea is getting married in December. It is not the
ideal situation. But things are going to work out. So we have about a month to
put a wedding together. Andrea was just doing stuff for the wedding to get it
done. Amy and I are bridesmaids. She told us she didn't care what dress we
found. She wasn't actually acting like a normal bride. After all - this isn't a
normal situation.

So Friday night - all the menus get set. All the music is picked. I am going to
load her cd's on my computer and make a playlist on my iPod so it makes things
easy. I am going to type up a script for the sound guy at the church too. We
picked wedding favors. And we discussed flowers. We talked about the
photographs. I am going to be taking some pictures with my digital camera and
simply give Andrea the memory card so she can do with them as she wishes. I
don't take payment from friends. :) She is also getting some disposable
cameras and give to the guests and ask them to drop it in a basket on the way
out. She has picked a few things for the ceremony (she's doing a rose ceremony,
no unity candle, no unity sand, has a flower girl, picked the ring bearer, and
so on). Things were coming together -- then it came Saturday ... the hard day.
So, we ate our breakfast casserole that I cooked. We got Andrea and Amy packed
up, and we sat out to find stuff. Our agenda was big - but not too big for God.
In a single shopping day, we needed to find the following things ---

1) Two bridesmaid dresses that are of the same color (or matching) for two girls
that are TOTALLY different body types -- color possibilities were red,
cranberry, plum, or the like.

2) Shoes that match the dresses
3) Jewelry that go with the dresses and the shoes
[notice that without the dresses we have nothing lol]
4) A dress for the bride (who didn't want to look at wedding dresses and only
was just going to "get something that will do" (she wasn't being very thrilled
with the wedding dress idea and was both sure she didn't deserve one nor could
afford one).
5) Shoes for the bride
6) Pants for the groom
7) Shirt/sweater vest/tie for the groom
8) Pants and shirt for the groom's two sons
9) Silk flowers for the reception hall, the sanctuary, bouquets, and
boutonnieres
10) ring pillows
11) guest book
12) plates
13) bubbles
14) ribbon
15) odds and ends along the way that we thought about

As you can see, the task was daunting to say the least. Ever planned a wedding
in less than a day? It isn't easy I tell you. Not easy at all. By the
morning, we were EXHAUSTED already. First stop -- look for bridesmaid dresses.
We went to Ross. Amy and Andrea never HEARD of Ross. Ross is a discount store
where you can find name brand stuff for CHEAP!! So, I thought -- just maybe we
could find something. So...we went.

Up and down the isles we go. We pass by things that just won't work. We find
the right color -- but not right for a wedding. It's too casual. Too old
looking. Too big. *sigh* We are close to giving up on Ross. Finally -- I
find a dress that is perfect. It's a cranberry red (just what Andrea wanted).
It was a thick strap (what I wanted) and had a little bit of an embellishment
on it (what we ALL wanted). I look at the size, and I am discouraged because
though I am losing weight -- I am not sure that I could fit into it. I take it
to the dressing room and cross my fingers. I slip it on and I am amazed -- Not
only did it fit -- it looked fantastic!

I set out and Amy looks at me, "Well, looks like I am finding a red dress to
match you. Dang girl -- you look good." A young girl in the dressing room
looks up at me. "Wow, you look pretty. I hope you buy that one." I thank her
very much, and I praise God because that dress is perfect. And -- it was $24.
So, back out we go to look for Amy a dress. We are about to give up when we
noticed there was one part of the store we had NOT examined. In a small isle
-- there it was. Another dress like mine in Amy's size. Sure enough -- it
fits and she looks fantastic in it as well. We find Andrea in the store who was
looking for shirts for the boys and for her husband-to-be. With my husband's
help, she finds them pants, shirts, and a tie for cheap. Andrea stops and looks
at the dresses and is amazed. These are the exact dresses I have seen in DREAMS
lately. I am pleased -- Amy is thrilled -- Andrea is happy but still not
"bridal happy".

Off we go with our perfect dresses throughout the day -- we go to the shoe
store. Now listen. When I say I hate shoes, I mean I really hate shoes. I
can't find shoes that fit me that well. I have big feet. So, it is very hard.
So, we go in the store -- there we find a pair of shoes that match the dresses
perfectly -- in my size and in Amy's. They fit, and they are on sale. They
look GREAT. Off to look at jewelry -- and low and behold there is a necklace
that is fake pearls with a matching earring and bracelet that would look
perfect. Again, it's on sale. Last stop -- we find a black shawl to go with
our dresses to finish off the look. All in all, we have a whole outfit for
under $100. Pretty good for bridesmaids dresses. The flowers are bought in
this time as well. Now, about the bride dress.

I pull Amy aside and we conspire to get Andrea to go to David's Bridal to at
least look at the dresses that are discounted and one's you can get as is off
the rack. She would NEVER do it for herself. She doesn't feel as if she is
pretty enough to deserve it. So, we land there and Andrea is certainly
confused. I tell her before entering. "Andrea, you are a bride. You deserve
to have a dress you want. I know the trouble you are having and I know the
stress, but you deserve a dress that is yours -- not one you settled for. Look
at the ones that are as is and off the rack. If you find THE dress, it's yours.
I can get it for you." She tears up a bit and goes into the store. With a
little help, she sees a few dresses .. and then there it was. A simple white
dress. No train. Nothing fancy. Very simple - but elegant. Just like Andrea.
She smiles and we take her back to try it on. After getting the slip and
undergarments on, Amy and I get her in the thing and we all three hear the
lovely sound of a dress zipping up with NO problem and room to spare! Andrea
begins to freak out a bit..."oh my ... oh my..it fits...oh my ....it zipped!"
She pranced out of the dressing room and up on the pedestal she went. When I
say this dress was perfect -- I mean it. No alterations were needed. It fit
perfectly. Length was right (and Andrea is SHORT! most everything she has needs
to be hemmed). Doesn't need to be let out or taken in at all. Nothing is
needed. It's her dress. It's perfect. And for once in her life she felt
beautiful -- like a princess -- like the person we know she is. She starts to
tear up and the lady asks, "Is this it?" Andrea doesn't even have the words.
We all laughed and said, "Yeah, that's it!" There wasn't a dry eye in the
store. I quietly told the saleslady that we had to trick her to come in there
-- she didn't think she deserved a dress. Then the saleslady cried too.

So, I paid for the dress (which -- was also on sale). And suddenly, Andrea
turned into a bride that day. Indeed ... it was a good one. I know it was an
expensive thing to do for a friend -- but seeing her tear up and the hug I got
afterwards .. it was worth every penny. It really was. :) Just wanted to
share

it may be too much for people in here. but i bet it would be perfect for Shelley's awake group since it talks about the seventh seal waking up people like never before...............

We do not have to fear the devil or his demons.  They actually have no power over us.  The only way he has power over us is if we believe his lies.  "And you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free."

maybe you could share lil bits of the stuff in small bits as God directs you. cause you know were living in a crooked and perverse world and sometimes one has to teach others how to comfort the enemy when they get into those unexpected head ons with  those doing the enemies work.. and i do beleive that wanda and shelley could teach others how to confront the wicked one and come out the victor....
but i guess with anything it has to be done in love and by revelation from the Father above.

thank god ou have  his seed in you. you wwere able to back that wicked onee.    i have seen freak things to . some with dogs. a neighbor who came to my brothers apartment accusing us of making too much noise.  no was talking , no music or tv playing. i told him to take his devil possesed  self home. he had harrassed my mom for yearssssssssss. housing atthority never die anything about him. he reported a peeping tom once ,, the neighbors saw the peeping tom peeping in their windows it was him... anyways i thought i was being a lil to harsh but the people at my home or my brothers apartment i should say told me after the guy left he smelt like beer......
 who knows i am pretty sure they harbored a few devil spirits  a drunken spirit, suicidal devil spirit and a harrassing spirit to name a few.. you would neve imagine  how many names there are for those devil spirits... i take that back. you have probably seen more than i could imagine but i guess mentioning them is a group  would not be best as there are babes in christ present. sorry you all
love u,

recently my neighbor was mad because my dogs were barking, and he came at me on my carport, and his face looked dark like it was hollow, like he had a mask on over his face he was trying to scare me, i just told him he needed to go to is yard and grow up.  he came at me with his fists balled up like he was going to hit me i told him again he needed to take his but back to his yard and leave me alone.  everytime time i looked at him that horrible spirit was looking at me.  he went home and called the police.  the officer told him dogs bark that is thier nature.  i told the officer what happened and he asked if i wanted to press charges, i told him i just wanted him out of my yard.  this guy is 36 and he picks up rocks, big enough that they would kill my little dogs and throws them.  i have to stay outside when they are out to keep him from hurting them.
