In case you got here by a search engine with a keyword search these perspectives are posted on the World Trends and Bible Prophecy Blog of Don Koenig. There is a category on the side bar and a tag on the bottom of this post that will bring you to prior monthly perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>It now looks like team Obama is about to turn on the simulation money printing machines again. We were told that the stimulus would soon end but it now is evident to even the Obamanable Far Left, that they did not get the high that they were expecting from their 3 trillion dollar stimulus. Employment is not rising. America is very close to going back into recession if it really ever got out of it and higher rates of unemployment are on their way. The Obama team is not going to admit failure in their Left approach to get around the economic abyss. They are just going to throw more money at the problem and add the cost to the national debt and live for today and forget about the bill tomorrow. They will just create more money out of thin air as long as nations and people are scared enough to buy U.S. treasuries at a loss. The next move of team Obama is to come up with something that sounds hopeful to the government plantation slaves before the 2010 election.<\/p>\n<p>Wall street is obviously betting on more stimulus. There is no other explanation for a rising stock market at a time when business activity is declining. I think those investing in U.S. treasuries realize that the U.S. Federal reserve is going to create more money and that is why the dollar has recently started to tank again. If it continues interest rates will soon rise and so will inflation. Here is one perspective on <strong><a title=\"hyperinflationary depression\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20251021064054\/http:\/\/www.marketoracle.co.uk\/Article21676.html\">how the economy will play out<\/a><\/strong>. It might not happen as he said in that interview or as soon as he thinks but it certainly could. Of course, Obama can always create a crisis in order to get the world to run to safety in the dollar like investors did when the debt of Greece gave them a bit of a scare. I am sure another war would be crisis enough to keep people buying dollars for safety for a short period.<\/p>\n<p>After the 2010 election everything done by the Left will be toward one objective and that is to get Obama reelected in 2012. The long term objective of these radical socialists and globalists is to create a permanent dependent class. The dependent class will vote for more wealth distribution to themselves at the expensive of the middle class. The top of the food chain hope to get rid of the middle class and create a two tier system that has ruling masters and willing slaves. They envision a system were the slave class fawns over them like they do with media stars.<\/p>\n<p>Everything they do will be toward getting the &#8220;O&#8221; reelected. They are using the housing downturn to essential give away houses to government dependents so the slaves will not leave the government plantation. Did you know that once again you can buy a house with almost nothing down at long term interest rates that will be much less than long term inflation? That will increase our national debt by trillions in the future. Did you know that government may even come up with a plan to pay part of the principal on the houses of all the loans underwater? (see my last post for more information.) What they really will be doing is buying votes with tax money. That used to be illegal.<\/p>\n<p>Carbon laws will either come by legislation or by fiat from the Executive Branch. They will rob the middle class of trillions by raising the cost of energy and they will enact regulations or laws that will give government control over everything. The new Obama medical care makes all but the rich, dependents on the government. In the end the government will decide if you are treated or not. The Left wants amnesty for illegals so all those living on the government plantation can vote (for them). If Obama gets reelected in 2012, by 2013 we will have the same conditions found in Venezuela today under the dictatorship of Hugo Chavez.<\/p>\n<p>Chavez controls all the press, so will Obama, Chavez controls the Supreme Court, so will Obama with one more appointed judge. Chavez controls medical care, so will Obama, Chavez controls big business, so will Obama. Chavez controls the guns, so will Obama, Chavez has price controls, so will Obama, Chavez controls all legislation, so will Obama. Chavez has double digit unemployment rates, so will Obama. Chavez has double digit inflation, So will Obama &#8211; or worse, since we do not have his oil resources available\u00a0 (actually we do have the oil and gas reserves but we will not be doing much drilling under this administration.)<\/p>\n<p>The government dependents getting freebies in Venezuela love Chavez but the middle class and those creating jobs have been decimated. Even with all its oil revenue the Venezuelan economy is heading the way of Cuba. That will also be true of the U.S. economy under Obama. Chavez fixes the elections and nobody can get him out of office and if Obama get enough government slaves living on the plantation the same thing will happen in America.<\/p>\n<p>_______________________<\/p>\n<p>The sun is getting near a new peak cycle of solar storms. For the next three years solar flares could be a danger to communications, electronics and even electrical production and distribution. The danger of a solar flare knocking out electronics and electrical grids are rather small but it can happen. Even NASA has told us of the dangers. The point is that in the last fifty year we have become a society that is totally dependent on electronics and electricity. All that could be taken from us in a second by a solar flare or even more likely an electromagnet pulse (EMP) weapon by an enemy. I think we should be aware of these things because an EMP event either from the sun or an enemy could be the very reason why America is not found in Bible prophecy. I have articles on the subject on this blog if you care to know more.<\/p>\n<p>________________________<\/p>\n<p>Two decisions by two different Federal judges overturned the will of many millions of people in two sovereign states. Which just goes to show you how important it is to have a moral administration that appoints moral Federal judges.<\/p>\n<p>The decision in Arizona was made by a Left leaning judge that was appointed by Bill Clinton. He stopped the main part of a law from going into effect that was voted in place by the vast majority of Arizonans. The law just directs the police in their state to enforce the same Federal immigration laws that the Federal government often does not enforce. Choosing not to enforce Federal laws is in itself against the law. Those in Federal government that will not enforce existing immigration laws should be prosecuted and removed. Those in State and local governments that make sanctuaries for illegals so Federal law cannot be enforced should also be prosecuted and removed. Are we a nation of laws or a nation where everyone does what is right in their own eyes without any consequence from those that enforce the law? What does that say about how far America has fallen from the rule of law?<\/p>\n<p>The other decision was made over the will of the majority of people in California that voted to keep marriage only between men and women. The Judge is openly homosexual. How can someone homosexual give a fair ruling against the majority in a State that voted against a homosexual rights issue? He should have removed himself from the case and given it to a unbiased judge.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously both of these decisions will eventually end up in the Supreme Court of the United States where I think the will of the people will prevail if the court remains the same but if Obama gets to change just one more Judge then Kattie-bar-the-door. The clear reading of the Constitution of the United States will be reinterpreted through Far Left activist judges.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the Supreme Court, a judge that has no judgment and that is known to have done some shady things was just placed on the Supreme Court of the United States thanks to Obama and the five Republican senators that voted for her confirmation. Christians and Conservatives ought to take note of these &#8220;Republicans&#8221; when they come up for reelection.<\/p>\n<p>____________________________<\/p>\n<p>There was some shooting in the middle east and some think that a skirmish like this could lead to the Psalm 83 war. I guess any conflict could eventually led to an Arab league decision to cut off Israel from being a nation. But, before that happens all the Arabs will have to totally give up on even a temporary peace with Israel. I do not think we will see the Psalm 83 war this year. Nor do I think the bombing of Iran by anyone will start the Psalm 83 war. Iran probably would have to announce development of\u00a0 nuclear weapons before we would bomb them. Even then we would be very selective in our targets and hope that the Iranians would take care of their own Islamic theocracy problem themselves and stop the nuclear weapons program. Any bombing by the U.S. without obvious prior antagonism probably will not be authorized until late 2011 to give Obama a bump just before the 2012 election.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the Psalm 83 war with the decision to cut off Israel from being a nation is going to come from a decision of the whole Arab Confederacy and it is likely that it either comes after a smaller regional war is lost by a Arab nation or possibly after Israel nukes Damascus because Israel finds out that Syria is about to launch biological weapons against Israel over the Golan height dispute. Syria has weaponized smallpox. The only real way to eliminate a biological threat like that loaded on missiles would be with many nukes. That is the only logical reason why Israel would wipe out a whole city the size of Damascus. To fulfill the prophecy of the destruction of Damascus as written in the Bible it would take scores of nukes or at least a half dozen hydrogen bombs. No doubt God could accomplish the same job with just one Angel and that is a possibility.<\/p>\n<p>__________________________<\/p>\n<p>Eight Christian medical missionaries were killed in Afghanistan last week, six were Americans. Their crime was medically treating the dependents of the people that killed them. These murderers are worse than animals. They care nothing about their own families. All they care about is fitting in with the other guys in their club of hate. Any Christian that says Islam is a religion of peace ought to sign up for a missionary trip to a Muslim nation and find out the real truth first hand.<\/p>\n<p>_________________________<\/p>\n<p>Mexico is beginning to talk about legalizing drugs. The popular former President &#8211; Fox, has come out for legalization. I guess some are realizing that they are in a no win situation in Mexico. If Mexico legalizes drugs we will have a narco state right on our borders. Are you ready for legalized drugs in America? If Mexico legalizes drugs we also will have little choice but to decriminalize drugs or the warfare now happening in Mexico will come to America and we will also have open warfare on our Southern Border as well. I personally think that our drug war has produced this problem just like prohibition produced incentive for organized crime syndicates and moon-shining operations. Governments in free nations need to butt out of these things as much as possible. Nonetheless, I see no happy ending now no matter what we do on the drug issue.<strong> That is because the real problem is a moral problem, not a drug problem<\/strong>. If government could cut off all known illegal drugs those looking for easy money would\u00a0 formulate new ways for people to get high from common legal products. For example, there now is a marijuana substitute called K2. Also, if the government really went all out to stop illegal drugs in America we would already be in a police state.<\/p>\n<p>_________________________<\/p>\n<p>The world of heretics and apostasy is alive and well. I ran across a few articles of interest on <strong>MoreBooksandThings<\/strong>. which is always a good place to visit for the latest information on well known &#8220;Christian&#8221; leaders that don&#8217;t quite seem to grasp the true Christian faith.<\/p>\n<p>One post gives some links on the Willow Creek Global Leadership Summit this year. Two of the main speakers were <strong>T.D. Jakes and Jack Welsh.<\/strong> The problem is that Bishop Jakes is a Oneness Pentecostal. They are called Oneness because they deny the Trinity. So what discernment can Jakes give future leaders in Christianity? Jack Welsh is the former CEO of General Electric, by the policies of General Electric today I would not think that Welsh is going to teach anyone anything on Christianity. It seems from what I read that Welsh talked about hiring smart people at the summet. As if intelligence is the best attribute for Christian ministry. This type of line-up is not unusual at Willow Creek leadership summits. They have a long history of inviting questionable characters and heretics. It almost seems that they think Christian leaders need to learn the ways of the world and know the teachings of popular heretics in order to lead other Christians. Lack of discernment is also probably why Bill Hybell&#8217;s Willow Creek gave Christianity the failed seeker friendly gospel lite church growth model and movement.<\/p>\n<p>Want to hear a little about the interfaith <strong>G8 World Religious Summit<\/strong> this year and what they talk about at such summits? I thought so. Guess who was one of the speakers of this Summit in 1995 when they first started this annual Interfaith summit? Why, it was none other than Obama&#8217;s present heretical spiritual adviser&#8230;of course.<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hey, if you don&#8217;t want any religion coming in your home anymore, say no more! You can now buy an<strong> Internet filter named Godblock<\/strong>. I am sure Godblock will be what every atheist wants to give to their children for their 25th of December dog sled celebration. I wonder if Godblock blocks Islam and the names and attributes of the millions of gods in Hinduism? I wonder if they dare even advertise it if they do? Does Godblock also block native pagan deities and doctrines of demons like found in the New Age or New Spirituality movement? Somehow I doubt it. The positive side is that children with this Godblock software will never see the name of Jesus taken in vain on the Internet. That eliminates seeing just about all the atheist sites and most other Internet opinion sites as well. Children with Godlock will pretty much get to surf in their very own desert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its already August and time for my second monthly perspectives article.
