Many people are asking where did all the money go? All the unregulated money (in the trillions) that was TARP’d, bailed out, transferred, allocated, outsourced, offshored, ponzied, or dare we say “stolen” at the largesse of grossly overleveraged investment banks, brokerage firms, politicians, CEO’s, and bureaucrats; to this day no one can give a plausible reason. Seems like now we have become like old Boxer from the animal farm who currently is out of feed, worn out, and headed to the glue factory.
If there’s one thing about wealth – it never really gets destroyed, it just changes hands… The other thing that hits us like a cattle car loaded with lead ingots is: who’s going to pay?? Because if there’s one thing that defies the definition of logic for a lot of people is the ATP (ability to pay) since they basically don’t have this ability. Put this in the global sense with our dollar at stake with remaining as the world’s reserve currency and you can rest assured that as they say in Spanish: “la patria anda bien bruja” (translation: we’re broke).
Someone once said: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The bottom line (no pun intended) is – since the wealth was transferred, then why didn’t someone have the common courtesy to tell us where did all the money go? With all the Bernie “Made Off” with the cash types out there; it is no surprise that the American Joe and Jane are on the dole for (including the current budget) upwards of 14 TRILLION dollars…
Like a big fish that just got harpooned, we are waiting for the boat ride back to the fish factory and later to be canned. Boxer would be proud. At least now he has company. And you know what they say about misery.. The whole episode of Egypt comes to mind with “make more bricks” where things are much more complicated and much more competitive now than ever before. The maxim now seems to be - survive at all costs no matter how lean and mean a person or company has to become. Reminds me of the movie where there was the inference of the guy who had worked all his life as a mud stomper and was about ready to get promoted to a straw-cutter and darn it – they had to leave Egypt. Even Charlton Heston in Ben-Hur was advised “row well and live, 41”. The Germans in WWII had a slogan on their Dachau death camp gates that said “Arbeit macht frei” (Work will make you free). This is not to say that work is inherently bad except to admit that it will become more scarce in its present condition.
So in a never ending saga of human turmoil and conflict, do we ever realize that the prodigy of our human turmoil and suffering is sin? No. No politician worth his salt would ever broach the subject. Too controversial, too one-sided, no pork. As a result, the blood beast of Babylon in all her unholy and ugly permutations marches on in a never ending cycle of despair. Randy Maugans recently commented on The EnSign that we are all like batteries (i.e. power sources for the establishment). How true.
And now in this age of Ordo ab Chao (which is an oxymoron if there ever was one) it seems totally in line with the times in which we live that a few of the country’s benevolent mindsets have pronounced that we should never waste a good crisis. Gee, thanks, and keep the change…
If only we were asking the right internal question: Where did all the salt go?
Interesting how salt will act as a preservative and if it looses its savor, it is good for nothing and is fit to be thrown out to be trodden under foot of men… (Just like Jesus said)
Does that mean that if we don’t get into alignment with Gods Word and rightly divide it as the Scripture says that we will suffer the same demise? Sure looks that way. We are to worship God in spirit and in truth.
I recently saw a bumper sticker here in Southern California that said “How can you say the love of money is the root of all evil when so many Churches beg for it?” This sticker probably belongs to some pagan who sees Christians as intrinsically joined in with the Church/Government system in which they worship. I hate to say – they have a point however; the Bible has the final word on this as this is symbolically represented in Revelation where John “marveled” at the woman (the Church) who sat upon the beast. The irony of ironies is that the multitudes in the Churches are blind enough not to “see” this. And here it takes a non-believing pagan with a bumper sticker to point this out. Amazing. Truly amazing…
On top of this are all the other bumper stickers that proclaim the acronym NOTW (Not Of This World). Sadly, these souls probably belong to some corporate Church. What they don’t realize is that the Word of God says that friendship with the world (system) is enmity with God. The true mystery of Mystery Babylon is not only who she is but why don’t other people “see” and understand who she is and to come out of her and not be partakers of her sins nor receive of her plagues. No small wonder that the Word says: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned by fire (fire here is largely metaphoric in a spiritual sense). Fire by the way has a refining component where it will purge all the dross out of it. This is probably why we are also enjoined by the Lord in chapter 3:17-19 of Revelation:
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
The salt is emblematic of the Church that has over the centuries intertwined and married the world system of doing business and now operates under its construct. The indictment of all time is to “come out of her my people”. This could not be more clear.
Now the question is: Are you worth your salt?
