"According to The Associated Press, the Vatican suggests "the reform process begin with the United Nations as its point of reference."
"Echoing the pope's 2009 encyclical on the economy, it calls for the redistribution of wealth and the regulation of the world economy by international agencies."

Heads up, Wall Street. According to John Thavis' Catholic News Service report:
"According to The Associated Press, the Vatican suggests "the reform process begin with the United Nations as its point of reference."

Reese revisited the encyclical to get a sense of the pope's thinking that shapes the new document. The pope called for more, not less, government regulation, saying:
The conviction that the economy must be autonomous, that it must be shielded from 'influences' of a moral character, has led man to abuse the economic process in a thoroughly destructive way... In the long term, these convictions have led to economic, social and political systems that trample upon personal and social freedom, and are therefore unable to deliver the justice that they promise.Reese noted Benedict's support for a new world authority ...
To manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would result; to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration...And he concludes,
On economic issues, the pope is to the left of Obama. He is even to the left of liberal Democrats like Nancy Pelosi....The current economic crisis, which has seen growing inequality between the rich and poor of the world, underlines the necessity to take concrete steps toward creating (a global) authority, it said.
Heads up, Wall Street. According to John Thavis' Catholic News Service report:
One major step...should be reform of the international monetary system in a way that involves developing countries. The document foresaw creation of a "central world bank" that would regulate the flow of monetary exchanges; it said the International Monetary Fund had lost the ability to control the amount of credit risk taken on by the system....

This is a crime in of its own.
"When the economy tanks, when foreclosures increase exponentially, when homes get abandoned, drug outfits move in, arsons go way up," Biden said. "That causes a spiral. That drives down revenue available for the cities and counties. They lay off more cops. The more cops who are laid off, the more crime that occurs."
Im not sure of the exact context of Biden's "when the economy tanks" statement....but it sounds like he was making a prediction.

US RATING LIKELY TO BE DOWNGRADED AGAIN
There is probably a whole lot more downgrading to take place in the future. But panic is only likely to set in if you go to the grocery store on the 1st of the month and see eggs go from 1.49 to 2.00...

Imagine
The song "imagine" by John Lennon-who infamously was quoted as saying the beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ-is without a doubt the anthem of the new world. In analyzing the lyrics of the song, you can see that Lennon saw what today's world sees. "Imagine there's no heaven"...is the cry of the humanist who discredits God's sovereignty and justice. The same applies to "no hell below us". It is an ever increasing popular cry as the harvest continues to grow and humans become more and more enamored with creation and humanity itself. Lennon, in pleading for people to "live for today" was only looking to serve the hungry human appetite for a life apart from God, a life free of guilt as self-love at times becomes so rampant that it declares man god. But the very interesting "imagine there's no countries" is possible today as individual sovereignty of states is being pushed aside for the belief in a one world government. As obvious as Lennon's distaste for anything divine or unseen was, declaring that there's "nothing to live or die for" is a complex statement since it contradicts his overall message of "love". That the world is more unanimously seeking a pluralist, "tolerant" society in terms of creeds/religions, etc, is in direct line with Lennon's imagine. He is a secular prophet perhaps.
It seems that "peace" is the word of the century, if not the millennium. Humanity and all its dictates preach that 5 letter word as if it were indeed a reality waiting to happen. And it appears that everyone is pointing in one direction...
The cry "I hope some day you join us" is the cry of revolutions taking place throughout the world, as the new order of things begins to unfold more and more clearly. Without the use of unpopular terms, the need for deception increases as those less informed continue on their path of oblivion while the world CHANGES on its path to be "as one"...
See, Lennon, like all other humanists, failed to understand society's biggest problem. The world's biggest problem isn't poverty. The world's biggest problem isn't greed. It's not injustice. It's not war. It's not famine. It's not global warming. The world's biggest problem is the one it CAN'T solve nor will it EVER be able TO solve.
It is the only certainty in life, and by no coincidence is the exact opposite thereof.
The world's biggest problem is....
DEATH!
And only God can take care of that "problem". Only God overcame that problem. Imagine that...
Jesus Christ OWNS death. And so the dead bury their own.
COME LORD JESUS!

Siri?? So people literally talk to an inanimate object?? People literally talk to the WWW? People literally in touch with 666?! When you ask "siri" (iris backward) what the meaning of life is, it responds.
"Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try to live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations."
