The Cliff is only the begining...

"Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives."
 

Ayn Rand

I have been silent for a while... 

I have been watching and hoping that maybe, just maybe Americans were starting to the the point that The Event is coming and we need to be ready.

We are creating it... we are the cause of it... it is a combination of economic, environmental, and political events... and those are building up...

But once again... I am proved wrong. 

So again... I am speaking out... hoping someone else will wake up and listen....

Greed and Stupidity and Evil are prevailing, and we as a nation are failing again to face our problems. 

Let's look at a few examples of what has been happening in the past couple of weeks.

Greed

When Michigan state passed one of the first "Right to Work" laws that effectively begins to cut the Marxist style unions off at the knees.  It was a great victory and in this writers opinion, one that should be followed all over the country.  A man shouldn't have to pay to work.  

A hard days work should always be respected and be the measure of that man... not the dues he owes.  I understand why unions were originally created, and and in some cases do a good job of protecting people from unjust corporations  But something big happened that continues to prove my point that greed drives people to act like violent zombies.  

This tent that was established belonged to a "pro-business" company who wanted to setup shop to help support this new law.  But things went horribly wrong for them.  When the Union "hoard" decided that they didn't like the law that was being passed for them, so... they got violent... and innocent people got hurt.  As you can see from the video... the man in the leather jacket was trying to protect his tent where his people were working... but the problem here is that anger and greed did not remain unchecked. 

You will hear the "leather jacket" man say... "You have already destroyed something... leave our tent alone!"

The anger of the hoard was to great... and greed prevailed. Several of the hoard members attacked the man and destroyed the tent hurting one young lady in the process.  

This is what we absolutely have to get under control ... the greed that drives to anger ... and the anger that then drives to violence, the violence that leads to groups being separated and not focusing on the coming Event.   You see that selfishness just leads to problems.  We are a nation of selfish people and that has to stop. 

Stupidity
 
The next item is probably more near and dear to my own heart... and that is this "fiscal" cliff all the talking heads are discussing on capitol hill... now I know for most of the readers who read this... the income level of 250k per year will really not have a bearing on us in terms of taxes... but we will see a reduction in things like the child tax credit and the reduction of the mortgage interest credit that will impact you and I and all the other lower income people. 

But neither side can decide on a good compromise ... they are dragging their heals and not doing a thing that will help the nation.  One side wants revenue increases... or more taxes... and the other side want's to cut spending.... and lower taxes...

But neither will acknowledge that neither one has the answer... We here in America are breaking out backs everyday to feed a section of the population that is living off the other.  The entitlement spending must stop.  

Here is why; 

This is page 213 out of the Federal Government Budget... 

I want you to examine several parts of balance sheet... first the top portion; 

Notice that the "outlays" or the spending total 3,803 billion..... and only increases from there...

Now for the second part; 

The "receipts" or tax income is 2,902 billion... and only increases from there.... 

So... lets do a bit of math; 

If the total spending is 3803 and the total tax revenues is 2902... that leaves us with a deficit of 901 billion dollars...

But what if we took out the entitlements under "other mandatory" programs (654 billion), and we got rid of the "non" security expenses (410 billion) and we eliminated Medicaid (283 billion), TARP (12 billion)

That would total - 1359 billion. 

Then we kept Security (851 billion), Social Security (820 billion) and Medicare (523 billion)

That would total - 2,194 billion.

Now... let's do more math If our new spending is 2,194 billion and the our taxes are 2902 billion ... that leaves a surplus of 708 billion.... 

Ok... 708 billion left... what should we do with that... Let's add back in Medicade (283 billion) ... that leaves us with 425 billion.... that we could put toward the interest payments to the FED.

Sure... it would take us a while to pay the debt off... but once again... we have to borrow money from the FED at an interest rate to keep the Government doors open... so we will never get ahead!  They are not willing to make the cuts that will prevent the coming economic car wreck....

And you know what... those on Capitol Hill know that... we will never get out of debt!.. There is no way to solve our financial problems... except through default and collapse.... one facet of The Event.  We can't fix it... we can't cut off families and expect that they will just quietly accept it... 

Just look at this... people will cause riots over the smallest things... This was only over free housing!  

Then there is this... and it was just over Christmas Presents!  

We have explored before what would happen when the money stops flowing through the economy.. and the food, water, health care and social security benefits no longer exists... we will have a mass riot on our hands. 

The programs that 47 percent of Americans use for their "living expense" were never designed to be used long term.

They were meant to be used for short term... to help people get back on their feet until they could become contributing tax paying members of the country.

But the sin of greed... of laziness has taken over....

Evil

Finally I want to address the final aspect of today's article... evil.

Obviously we all know of the horrible tragedy that took place back in Sandy Hook and the pain that it has caused for some many families...But bigger than that... it took away the innocence of so many of our little ones... this young man who did this was possessed by evil.

Evil ... it preyed on his mind... it infected his soul... and it was never delt with.  His mother knew that something was wrong... yet did nothing... she hid him away from the world.  But we, America have to face this head on... it wasn't the guns or the access to them that killed the little ones... it was the person behind the trigger... it was the evil in his soul that did it... 

Maybe he had a mental illness, maybe he didn't, but I can tell you beyond a reasonable doubt that the great evil one had his hand in all of this... he want's to use this terrible... terrible tragedy to make you question your faith... to pit brother against brother in the "gun" debate... to cause the leader of this nation to begin to make decisions that will cause more problems for all of us.

We have to face the evil head on... we have to look at it in the face and tell it... "in the name of Christ... get behind us!"  

It is the only way to defeat it.... to defeat him.

I know that some of you who read this are not believers... that's ok... Christ loves you just the same... but deep within your souls you know that something isn't right with this nation, this world... whether it is the hate we have for each other... the money problems or the spiritual things...You know that something isn't right and we are headed for a point in which things are going to change... Forever...

It is the "cliff" we are about to go over...

Don't fear it.

Don't run away from it.

Embrace it... plan for it... and help others to face it!

Yes... The Event will change all of humanity... it will change the face of the earth and cause a great time of panic, worry and unrest.  But know that Christ can be your rock!  My grandmother has a wonderful saying that I often repeat to myself when I begin to fear what is coming,

"Pray as it all depends upon him... work as it all depends upon you!"

The Event is coming... be ready...
