Count the cost.... and the consequences!

"All human sin seems so much worse in its consequences than in its intentions."

Reinhold Niebuhr - Writer / Philosopher

I am constantly saying to my kids, "Think before you act...", "Don't be over zealous...", "Stay with the group", " Think about those around you!  How will your decisions affect others?"  

But you know what... it has absolutely no effect on them...!

They think they know better, so they touch the stove, or jump off that high thing, or they swing to fast, and not wear a helmet and then suffer the consequences because of their childhood foolishness!

It still baffles me how parents can say these things over and over again and yet our children still don't think of the consequences will be for their actions.

But you know what... adults aren't any better... in fact many of them who ignored their parents, are positions of power over our money and our laws... they hear the experts screaming;
"Don't do QE3! It will drive inflation, don't print more money to "inject" into the markets... it won't work!" and yet .... they still ignore them. 
The FED made a really... really bad choice ... and though they may feel like they might have made the right choice to spurn the economy forward, this was the worst move they could have made. 


They are literally living by the old adage of, "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...."

They are the definition of "insanity".

Here is an analogy for you on QE3;

Its like they are on a life raft (the economy) and it starts leaking, so they bail the water out, and put it in a bucket (QE1 and QE2) inside of the sinking boat instead of pouring it out... now ... the water has filled the life raft again and they are pouring it inside another bucket (QE3).   The boat is still sinking!

Here is what today's news  this means to you and I.  
Right now the Not-so-Federal Reserve is going to start buying mortgage backed securities at record levels to the tune of about 40 billion per month.

What the Not-so-Federal Reserve (NSFR henceforth) is trying to free up liquidity for the banks... they (the NSFR) think that if they can free up the money that the big banks will in turn loan out money and put it into the economy...

This will not work... in fact it is going to make things worse... they are trying to fix debt with printing money.
The reason that the past QE1 and QE2 did not work was because the banks are not and were not  finding qualified borrowers to lend money too

They are not finding people who have decent paying jobs, and disposable capitol to throw away on things like bigger homes, cars and material goods.
People don't have jobs right now! We have 86 million people out of work! 

Your main consumers of goods and services don't have the money to waste!  They are tying just to survive! Pay the bills... put food on the table.... heck they are just tying to keep their house!!!!!

All QE3 will do is free up Banks to loan money to people who probably should be saving their money not buying things they can't afford. 
Not only will QE3 also devalue our currency, it cause inflation in the long term... look at what has happened to Gas prices this year alone! Pay attention NSFR! Pay attention Mr. President! Pay attention Senators and Congress people!

This has happened in other nations before, Zimbabwe.  When your production structure fails and your unemployment climbs like ours... inflation is going to take place... they have to print more money into peoples hands to spend ... so inflation will take place as more money floods the economy. 

When you start printing that much money the consumer price index will rise!  
You, our "elected" leaders need to the root problem of the nation.  American Greed!

Our inability to be happy with what we have.  We are spending too much money!  We think of no one but our selves!


I want you to watch this video again;



Now... I realize that it says that all this happens when QE4 hits the market place.  But why wouldn't it happen now?  Gold is now up at over 1700 an ounce!

Do you  think that the rest of the world is ignoring what we are doing over here?  
How long do you think it will take for them to see the way we are  handling our check book that someday they will figure out that they will never be paid?

Yes... stocks are up, but investors have been flooding into metals .... they have been for some time!

Remember earlier last month when I told you that two of the worlds most wealthy men were dumping their stocks and getting into Gold?

They are seeing this trend... and an unlimited Non-Federal Reserve who will print as much money it needs to "shore up" an economy isn't good for anyone!

Wake up America!  Wake up and realize that as you and I go off to work, school, the gym or wherever we go in our day the "leaders" in our government are deciding our futures?  We have to stop the borrowing and stop letting our Government decide to spend our fiat money on things that will not help us!

Better yet... we have to stop them from using a currency that is worthless...!  They need to count the cost of their bad decisions!

They saw the consequences from the last two rounds of QE... why don't they speak up! Ive callled my congress persons and my state senator... I've told them they are out of line and are spending too much money on wasteful entitlements and programs.
I've told them that they will be out of a job if they continue to spend.  I've told them the fiscal cliff is coming... and they always respond the same way...,                                                                     

"Thank you Mr. Pounder for calling my office... I really appreciate your feed back.  It's good you stay well informed and we are proud to have citizens like you in our state!  I'll gladly assign someone to look into this and we'll be glad to represent you!"
B.S!!!!!

Dear Senators, Congress Persons and you Mr. President,

It's time for you to start thinking through the consequences for all of our families...! It's time you felt what it was like to live paycheck to paycheck.  Its time you worry about where you next meal will come from or whether your paycheck will cover the balance of the medical bills you owe!

You are what happens when our leaders stop thinking with their minds and with their hearts and start thinking with their pocket book!

You have got to stop the madness... you have to count the costs of your actions and how it will negatively affect our people and their families. You have got to think with your hearts... stop pandering to the left or right and those who line your pockets and reach across the aisle!

I'm tell you folks... if you haven't started planning for your families long term due to "The Event" coming soon... you have got to get on the ball!

The Fed and the ECB are out of bullets to kill this monster of debt and to restart the economy!
They are not planning ahead... you have to... please start planning!  Get your food squared away... get your family squared away with God ...and start to think for yourself and do your research!   

Until next time....

Going down in flames!

"Believe me, the next step is a currency crisis because there will be a rejection of the dollar, the rejection of the dollar is a big, big event, and then your personal liberties are going to be severely threatened."


Ron Paul
 

I'm really not messing around here...

I have had several readers email me over the past month or so and ask me if I write these posts because I want to "rant" about the world, or because I am just angry with my life.

I tell you it is neither... I am writing to try to save families!

Time is running short... and too many people are more worried about what their going to wear this fall or what Snooki's baby is like!

Who cares!!!???

"The Event" is rushing head long at us like a fat American after a Big Mac...

I'm telling you, you have to start paying attention!


Do you realize what will happen when the American dollar is no longer recognized as the trade currency of the planet?  

Do you realize how deeply this will impact America and our way of life? 

I'm going to relay these following talking points too you ... they are from the Economic Collapse blog... he said them so well... I couldn't have said them any better; 

Here is what we can expect if America looses it position as the default currency trade dollar; 

- Oil will cost a lot more.

- Everything will cost a lot more.

- There will be a lot less foreign demand for U.S. government debt.

- Interest rates on U.S. government debt will rise.

- Interest rates on just about everything in the U.S. economy will rise.

Our American dollar is so fragile... and so many people just don't realize that if the world every really does decide to shun us and our currency... it will be just another factor that would will push us into "The Event". 

Our two main competitors China and Russia have decided they are going to work on pushing us out of the global trade market. 

 But you know what?  We deserve it!  

We as Americans have decided that the world should do business our way... or no way at all.


In my recent interview on Radio Free Redoubt John Jacob and I talked about why America is in so much trouble and how the Euro's woes will roll over to America.

This collapse is going to happen...! 

Other countries are working to secure their own finances .... they seeing it coming.  Yet we continue to ignore it!   Why can't we be pro-active

Why don't we see that other countries are starting to make alliances and getting off the dollar!
 Because we are too proud!

I have detailed this out before our American hubris and how bad it is.  We as Americans just can't believe that the world would ever want to hurt us!  We think of our self's as the worlds darlings... and police.

Remember what just happened last night!  Our embassy was stormed in Libya and our Ambassador killed!  His body was drug through the street and desecrated... and what is our response?


Really??? 

You think this was act of senseless act of violence?


Here is a hard truth for you Mr. President, Madam Secretary.... it wasn't senseless... it was a crime of opportunity..! It was retaliation for us butting our nose into other countries problems and political processes!  We cannot police the world!

Our enemies, who we have made from our meddling .... saw an opportunity for them to hurt us... and hurt a man who was working for ideals that he thought were right.

But now our President is back on the war path... He vows that justice will be done

He needs to back off... now.  We have way to many fish to fry here at home.  We have an economy in the toilet... record debt, and we have millions of America on welfare.  

We are headed into the possibly the most polarizing election we will ever see in our lifetime.

Ladies and Gentlemen .... you need to keep your eye's open.  Things are about the change in this world.  

You see ... the quote from Ron Paul today is absolute truth.  It is when we loose the dollar that Americans will loose their freedoms rapidly....


If you think that you won't be affected by this... your severely mentally stunted.  Think about this.  I have talked in the past about when the jobs go away ... and the money will run out... people will gather... and cause trouble.

The money is going to run out...soon... I assure you... the Grace Commission Report of 1984 already proved that,

"100 percent of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the Federal debt and by Federal Government contributions to transfer payments. In other words, all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services which taxpayers expect from their Government."

Read this too: written by Matt Bracken... it is a chilling look at what will happen when the money runs out. Please ... please read it! Share it with family and friends... encourage them to think of their own communities when they read it!

If after reading this you still think that you and your family will be safe as is when "The Event" comes... why are you still kidding yourself.

I have told you before... the Government won't be there for you... they are gearing up for full control when "The Event" comes!

I love my country. I don't want to see people suffer.  But because of the choices that our leadership is making... well is shows zero concern for the people of this nation.

I know that I often throw a lot of very dismal things at you.  I have to... we have to wake up. You have to wake up!  I know what is coming and it is horrible.

However, there is hope though.

Where does your faith lay?  Is it in man?  Or is it the almighty?

I want you to think about your family for a moment... where is their faith?

Can you center your family around Christs principals and begin to "be prudent and see the danger"?  Now is the time for you and your family to come back to Christ!  Now is the time you and your family should begin to realize the danger ahead!

You still have some time... The Event is coming... please ready your family!

Until next time....

Ignore is part of the word "Ignorance" ....

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt."


Barack Obama


Sorry about the delays in posting... I took some vacation time... and now I am back, refreshed and ready to continue to wake up hearts and minds, now ... onto the post!



Yes...

I just quoted the current sitting President.

No ... I don't approve of any of the decisions that he has made for our nation... but I find his quote highly ironic as he has added significant amounts of debt under his Presidency. I belive that when he said this quote... he didn't realize that he was predicting his own future.

How much longer can we ignore the giant problem we are facing? Right now the national debt sits at more than 16 trillion dollars, and continues to grow rapidly every second. 

"The Event" is coming.

Do you truly realize how staggering that is?

Do you realize what this is about to do to our nation? Should we continue to ignore the problem?

People are inherently evil because sin is in the world, we can try to fight it with Gods strength, but our evil natures will prevail and we will mess up. Thank goodness for grace huh?

However, to ignore the fact that we are headed towards "The Event" at a breakneack pace and to ignore the signs that we as a society are getting ready to take a major step backwards is just complete foolishness.



You can't ignore a problem.  It wont go away. There is a reason that the word ignore is part of the word ignorance. 

You cannot live in "happy land" where nothing ever goes wrong, or people always get along and that nothing terrible will ever happen, that is just stupid and it is like ignoring cancer. 

Your body knows its there, you're sick, and you never really get better.  Until that cancer is cut out and your body undergoes some serious medical proceedures, you will not get better! Ignore it and it will continue to fester until it kills you!

Our world, better yet our nation is very sick and we need to go through some serious finanical, spiritual, and social chemotherapy to correct the problems.  

You see there are examples of when things get truly bad, people will break down and do things that they never though possible to take care of their families. 
 
I want you to take a look at this article and video from yesterday.  This comes to us from SHTFplan.com.  Its shocking, three tons of food was taken from a grocery store. Three tons... that is a pretty big amount.

Now...yes it was "activists" that took the food and gave it to those who needed it, but it shows that things are getting so bad financially for them in Spain that now they have taken to lawlessness and stealing from another one of their fellow countrymen to provide for their families.

People will not preserve order when really bad things happen. But the problem isn't over yet, it is just getting started. 

Why do you keep ignoring "The Event" is coming?

Yesterday there was also some additional not-so-good news.  Mario Draghni, mouth piece of the ECB, announced that the ECB is going to start offering an "unlimited" bond buying plan that they think will help the troubled Euro currency based nations to solve their problems.

This is bad and here's why. When the ECB decides to start selling bonds, they offer them on a 1 to 3 year basis with a guarantee to pay a certain amount when the bond reaches maturity. 

But here is the problem with this new program.

The money does not exsist before the "bond" is magicly created to be sold. So when they just "create" the bond out of thin air for another country to "buy" they are effectivly printing money to loan the country who requests help.

This will drive inflation and it is wrong.  Its so simple, why can't they see that this is bad?

If Europe thought that things were bad right now, it is going to get a lot worse. 

Just wait until either the bonds have to be paid out ... or they have to print so much money that the currency gets devalued to an unbeliveable point and then a loaf of bread will costs 60 Euros.  How will people survive?

This will crush them and it will move on to crush us.

This is just a stupid financial move, even the knuckleheads who actively use the ECB know this. Read this.

The ECB is making mother of all rookie of mistakes, they are using the thought process of, "What do you mean I am out of money... I still have checks?"

They have to stop printing money! Printing money drives the value of it down and then inflates is a tremendous amount.


This is going to create a huge mess and in all likelyhood be a huge contributing factor to "The Event".

Now.. you're probably wondering how I am going to tie all this back to the title of todays post.

We the people of the world, more specific the USA are ignoring the major problem.  We spend too much! We have been greedy!  We are living way beyond our means and are about to suffer a major consequence of our actions, and now are constantly ignoring the problem of the massing crushing debt.

Sure the ECB and the FED are trying to fix the problem.  They can't, its too massive. 

We the nations of the world just keep borrowing, and borrowing to cover our lazyness and greed. 

In the last week I have had multiple requests from readers to offer my interpetation of what I have seen at the RNC and the DNC over the past two weeks.

Here is my opinion;

Both candidates are ignorant of what the main problem is that our nation is facing; the massive debt load.  We never heard them in ether speech discuss what they will actually do about the debt!

What we heard was this;

Romney wants to continue the status quo and not tax the rich, he wants to repeal Obamacare (which his "Romneycare" bill was the frame work for) and work to rebuild "America's greatness".

Obama also wants to return "America's greatness" but wants us more reliant on the government for our bread. Obama also promised multiple things that obviously he has no way to pay for.

Neither candidate can possilby fix the problem. Neither has the intestinal fortitude to make the hard decisions that will maybe will take the edge off of what is coming. Remeber what I said earlier this year?

"They cannot print any more money because it will cause inflation, severely devalue the dollar and cause the economy to collapse and cause mass civil unrest.  People would then begin to return to bartering again or even go back to Gold and Silver coin, leading to a possible Governmental collapse, and civil war.

They cannot force the Government to cut all social entitlement programs because then people would riot, starve and would lead to mass civil unrest and a collapse of the Government structure as well as possible civil war.

They cannot cut military funding and pull all the troops home because there are not any jobs for them to come home to, So former military families would starve, riot which would then lead to mass civil unrest. Not only that, it would open the door for our enemies to come in and take over the US with our defenses down.

They cannot "infuse" more money through a "quantitative" style easing because that would devalue the debt we owe to other countries and show that we will just print more money and they will never be able to be paid back.  If other countries stop buying the debt, the money fountain turns off and once again we are faced with riots, civil unrest or civil war."

We have ignored the problems for too long... and now we cannot fix it... there is no way way out of it. 

Get your hearts and families aligned with God and prepare for what is coming!  Don't ignore what you know to be true!

Until next time...
