DETROIT — A massive power outage throughout the city on Tuesday knocked out electricity to most public buildings, trapping many people in elevators and cutting power to police departments, fire stations, schools, jails and traffic lights.

As part of a three-year deal that’s going to make both Real Madrid and the National Bank of Abu Dhabi a lot of money, Madrid president Florentino Perez unveiled a new Los Blancos credit card that would double as a membership card for the club.

The card features the club crest, but noticeably missing is the Christian cross, which would normally be seen atop the crown.

The new club cards have no cross, presumably in an attempt to not upset Muslim customers. The National Bank is, after all, the leading bank of the United Arab Emirates.

LOL...what about Madrid's christian customers? Im sure they have just as many christian customers.

Admiral Michael Rogers, who also serves the dual role as head of U.S. Cyber Command, said the United States has detected malware from China and elsewhere on U.S. computers systems that affect the daily lives of every American.

Current Events-Babylonian Economy

http://americasmarkets.usatoday.com/2014/11/21/dow-flirts-with-18000-for-first-time/

The Dow got a boost today from a surprise interest rate cut from China’s central bank and fresh signs from European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi that more stimulus is in the pipeline for the ailing eurozone economy. The 30-stock Dow notched its 27th record close of 2014 on Thursday, closing at 17,190.27.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interest_rate 

The central banks of countries generally tend to reduce interest rates when they wish to increase investment and consumption in the country's economy. However, a low interest rate as a macro-economic policy can be risky and may lead to the creation of an economic bubble, in which large amounts of investments are poured into the real-estate market and stock market. In developed economies, interest-rate adjustments are thus made to keep inflation within a target range for the health of economic activities or cap the interest rate concurrently with economic growth to safeguard economic momentum.^{[2][3][4][5][6]}

JERUSALEM — At least four worshippers were killed in an attack on a west Jerusalem synagogue Tuesday by two Palestinians wielding a gun, an ax and a meat cleaver, police said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will "respond harshly" to the attack. He said the international community "irresponsibly ignores" Arab attacks on Jews around the world and said "the cruel murder of Jews who came to pray and were caught by dark, murderous hands" would not go unpunished. Netanyahu called an emergency meeting of his Security Cabinet.




And Big Ben usually means what he says....34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[b]”

Current Events-Climate Change

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/11/14/obama-brisbane-climate-g20/19051779/

BRISBANE, Australia — President Obama's climate change agreement with China, which was announced Wednesday, has changed the agenda for the G20 summit that started Saturday.

The U.S.-China pledge announced in Beijing to reduce carbon emissions caught Australian summit planners off guard. The accord between the world's two biggest polluters had not been expected, and Australia's conservative prime minister Tony Abbott initially resisted putting climate change on the G20 agenda. Australia is the rotating chairman of the G20, formed in 2008 to deal with pressing global economic issues.

Obama will also announce a $3 billion U.S. contribution to the United Nations Green Climate Fund that facilitates poorer countries' investments in clean energy. The George W. Bush administration into 2008 had pledged $2 billion to the World Bank's Climate Investment Funds.
U.S. officials say the contribution will promote sustainable growth while preserving stability and security in some of the world's most fragile regions. The contribution, they say, demonstrates the need to reach across traditional divides to tackle climate change.

The UN loves that term...."sustainable growth" or "sustainable development"....




Is it me or is BO getting things done quicker either through EO's or accords?

Don't worry, he has been permitted to do so...Remember he will change times and laws....

Catholicism

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/11/13/latin-america-less-religious-study/18946703/

In just one generation, Latin America has seen the number of people who identify themselves as Catholic plummet, with more people becoming Protestant or dropping religion altogether, a new report shows.

Why?

The most common answer was people saying they wanted a more personal connection with God.
Christ's sacrifice did away with the role of an intercessor, the role that priests used to play while guiding Israel towards the incarnation. Christ himself became that interceding lamb/sacrifice and so the need for a middle-party becomes less necessary. Relationship with God is intimate and that is non-existant with someone always in the middle like a priest. No matter how much a person may want to cleanse themselves through an institution, it is not the same when doing so with God and through God. God became man. God is personal. God is Father. "And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven."

“I may not be the man I want to be...."

“I may not be the man I ought to be; I may not be the man I could be but praise God, I’m not the man I once was”

– Martin Luther King Jr.

While reading MLK quotes...

I ran into this one:

“Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.”


It brings to mind the NDAA. It tells me that the LAW gives people confidence through the authority vested into them. That's why people change laws, because since Law is so absolute, whoever dares change it, and succeeds, can in essence be considered to be above that last law. Even though everything Hitler did was hateful...everything he did was LEGAL. It was more important to comply with the rule of law than to comply with the law of love.


Being "right" does attract authority. But it takes skill to change laws to suit your own "right" agenda.




INTERnational Socialism....the only thing in the way....is the capitalist empire...

 The difference between BO and other past dictators is that the previous ones actually believed their philosophy was good for their nation. Since Obama isn't American, and is against American principles, it is easy for him to destroy something he does not care about or believe in. He believes that by destroying America, he will be doing the world a favor. And when that happens, the world will return the favor.

Maybe one day Americans will sympathize with the following words of the aforementioned MLK:

“The greatest purveyor of violence in the world : My own Government, I can not be Silent.”

Keep things in perspective

[ On Not Loving the World ] Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

Current Events-UN treaties

http://www.un.org/disarmament/ATT/

On its official website, the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (yes, that’s really a thing and yes, it is housed right here in the United States) announced that the UN’s Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) “will enter into force on 24 December 2014.”

The agreement demands that national governments take “appropriate measures” to enforce the terms of the treaty, including civilian disarmament. If these countries can’t get this done on their own, however, Article 16 provides for UN assistance, specifically including help with the enforcement of “stockpile management, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes.” In fact, a “voluntary trust fund” will be established to assist those countries that need help from UN peacekeepers or other regional forces to disarm their citizens.

Americans might not like ATT...they have an amendment in their Constitution that affords them the "right to bear arms"...

Current Events-International Economy

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11200302/Japan-surprises-markets-with-more-quantitative-easing.html

The Bank of Japan has surprised markets by stepping up its stimulus programme in a bid to ward off the threat of deflation.

Members of the bank's policy setting board voted 5-4 to extend its already unprecedented target of expanding the monetary base by 60 to 70 trillion yen (£340bn to £394bn) a year.

http://www.infowars.com/its-currency-war-and-japan-has-fired-the-first-shot/

In a surprise move on Friday, the Bank of Japan dramatically increased the size of the quantitative easing program that it has been conducting.  This sent Japanese stocks soaring and the Japanese yen plunging.  The yen had already fallen by about 11 percent against the dollar over the last year before this announcement, and news of the BOJ’s surprise move caused the yen to collapse to a seven year low.  Essentially what the Bank of Japan has done is declare a currency war...

If you boost your exports by devaluing your currency, you take away business from someone else.  And ultimately other nations start devaluing their currencies in an attempt to stay competitive.  That is why they call it a currency war. 

It's already having an impact in surrounding economies as shares of auto makers Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors fell 5.9% and 5.6%, respectively, on Monday.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Tuesday he will postpone a controversial sales tax rise scheduled for next October and call a parliamentary election two years earlier than planned.The announcement was made at an executive meeting of Abe's Liberal Democratic Party and comes as Japan's economy recently slipped back into recession.

On Monday, Japan said its economy contracted at a real annual rate of 1.6% in July-September, a second straight quarterly decline that returned the country to recession.

Current Events-The stock market

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_market_crash

A stock market crash is a sudden dramatic decline of stock prices across a significant cross-section of a stock market, resulting in a significant loss of paper wealth.

Generally speaking, crashes usually occur under the following conditions:^[1] a prolonged period of rising stock prices and excessive economic optimism....STOCKS HAVE BEEN RISING TO NEVER BEFORE LEVELS!

(2)a market where P/E ratios exceed long-term averages, CURRENTLY, ABOVE THE MEAN: http://www.multpl.com/

and (3)extensive use of margin debt and leverage by market participants....AS OF OCTOBER 31ST...IT, TOO, IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH....http://www.hedgopia.com/margin-debt-stays-put-at-elevated-levels-october-may-look-different/

During severe financial crises, sometimes governments close banks. Depositors may be unable to withdraw their money for long periods, as was true in the United States in 1933 under the Emergency Banking Act. Withdrawals may be limited. Bank deposits may be involuntarily converted to government bonds or to a new currency of lesser value in foreign exchange.^[7]

During financial crises and even less severe situations, capital controls are often imposed to restrict or prohibit transferring or personally taking money, securities or other valuables out of a country. To end hyperinflations a new currency is typically issued. The old currency is often not worth exchanging for new.

It is only a matter of time before the stock market plunges by 50% or more, according to several reputable experts.

“We have no right to be surprised by a severe and imminent stock market crash,” explains Mark Spitznagel, a hedge fund manager who is notorious for his hugely profitable billion-dollar bet on the 2008 crisis. “In fact, we must absolutely expect it."

Unfortunately Spitznagel isn’t alone.

“We are in a gigantic financial asset bubble,” warns Swiss adviser and fund manager Marc Faber. “It could burst any day.” 

Faber doesn’t hesitate to put the blame squarely on President Obama’s big-government policies and the Federal Reserve’s risky low-rate policies, which, he says, “penalize the income earners, the savers who save, your parents — why should your parents be forced to speculate in stocks and in real estate and everything under the sun?”

Billion-dollar investor Warren Buffett is rumored to be preparing for a crash as well. The “Warren Buffett Indicator,” also known as the “Total Market Cap to GDP Ratio,” is breaching sell-alert status and a collapse may happen at any moment. 

So with an inevitable crash looming, what are Main Street investors to do? One option is to sell all your stocks and stuff your money under the mattress, and another option is to risk everything and ride out the storm.

Oh yeah. Sound advice.

http://www.infowars.com/most-people-cannot-even-imagine-that-an-economic-collapse-is-coming/

This is an objective analysis of the state of the economy...which is DEBT BASED.

Without debt, very little economic activity happens.  We need mortgages to buy our homes, we need auto loans to buy our vehicles and we need our credit cards to do our shopping during the holiday season.

So where does all of that debt come from?

It comes from the banks.

In particular, the “too big to fail banks” are the heart of this debt-based system.  Without those banks we essentially do not have an economy.

Compared to five years ago, the four largest banks in the country are now almost 40 percent larger.  

Just before the financial crisis hit, Wells Fargo & Co. had $609 billion in assets. Now it has $1.4 trillion. Bank of America Corp. had $1.7 trillion in assets. That’s up to $2.1 trillion.

And the assets of JPMorgan Chase & Co., the nation’s biggest bank, have ballooned to $2.4 trillion from $1.8 trillion.

At the same time that those banks have been getting bigger, 1,400 smaller banks have completely disappeared from the banking industry.

That means that we are now more dependent on these gigantic banks than ever.

At this point, the five largest banks account for 42 percent of all loans in the United States, and the six largest banks account for 67 percentof all assets in our financial system.

If someone came along and zapped those banks out of existence, our economy would totally collapse overnight.

They have transformed Wall Street into the largest casino in the history of the world.  Most of the time, their bets pay off and they make lots of money.

The bets that I am most concerned about are known as “derivatives“.

Which hints at the fact SOMETHING TOO WILL HAPPEN on Bo's watch....perhaps something bigger than an economic collapse....AN ECONOMIC DISASTER! 

"Obama, for so long the man with the bright future, has hated being relegated to a sidelined pariah in the midterms—even if it is the inevitable lot of a second-termer with approval ratings hovering in the low 40s—according to a dozen current and former Obama advisers we spoke with in recent days."

Yea, because he loves attention, but unlikely because he knows his WORLD PRESIDENCY is guaranteed.

"He both resents the narrative that he’s basically irrelevant and doesn’t much relish the fact that many of his longest-serving staffers, the remnant core of his once-buzzing and brash White House, are strapping themselves to ejector seats. More than anything, Obama’s loathing for Washington, an attitude that reads as ennui to outsiders, has hardened into a sullen resignation at being trapped in a broken system he failed to change, advisers told us."

He "loathes" Washington, and the US alright...so much so that he is willing to destroy them...from within. Bo's attitude doesn't surprise me really. He is an anti-american leader who could care less about Congress. He just has to go with the flow so that he doesn't seem too obvious. Imagine a president who did NO CAMPAIGNING during mid-term elections...it woud mean he certainly knew things the rest of us don't....things we could only speculate about....

Yet he continues to pass legislation while bypassing congress...

“I sense a certain fatalism there, and it’s disturbing,” says a former adviser on Obama’s campaign who, like many others we talked with for this story, requested anonymity. “There’s a sense that ‘I’ve tried everything, and look where it got me.’ People misread it as disengagement. It’s frustration. But who cares?"

Maybe he is indifferent...but Im betting it's because he knows what's gonna happen next....

Current Events-Mark of the beast

This can certainly be considered a prelude to the mark of the beast which will be developed, monitored, and enforced via 666/www...

For a brief demonstration...check out this video ...

http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/talkingtech/2014/10/20/apple-pay/17612285/

Apple Pay is the most consumer friendly mobile payment system we've seen yet. It solves the security hurdle (just who are you giving your credit card to?) and speed (fumbling for your wallet and credit card.) But it's not perfect.

It's great if you happen to have a new iPhone. It only works with the current iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models.

• The new iPhones have built-in NFC (near field communication) chips that talk directly to pinpads near the cash register. Put your credit card information into the Passbook app on the iPhone for Apple Pay. Wave the phone at the pinpad, and secure the transaction with your fingerprint from Apple's TouchID.

I don't think it's a stretch to say that the technology to roll out the mark of the beast is certainly available in the 21st century.

Current Events-National Economy

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/10/29/fed-october-meeting/18115435/

Despite stock market volatility and global economic troubles, the Federal Reserve on Wednesday agreed to end bond purchases that have supported U.S. economic growth since the 2008 financial crisis, marking a milestone in the five-year-old recovery.

The bubble was artificially propped up by these purchases...what will happen now?

Although the conclusion of the purchases spells the end of a historic infusion of easy money into financial markets, Fed policymakers have said it's unlikely to sell most of the securities and will instead allow them to gradually come off the Fed's books as they mature through the remainder of this decade. As a result, the banking system is likely to be flush with the Fed's cash at least for several years...leading to possible inflation/hyper-inflation depending on the overall amount of money in circulation.

The Fed began buying long-term securities — Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities — to push long-term rates lower. The Fed essentially created the money to buy the bonds, expanding the U.S. money supply....a prelude to inflation.

Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Janet L. Yellen, Chair; William C. Dudley, Vice Chairman; Lael Brainard; Stanley Fischer; Richard W. Fisher; Loretta J. Mester; Charles I. Plosser; Jerome H. Powell; and Daniel K. Tarullo. Voting against the action was Narayana Kocherlakota, who believed that, in light of continued sluggishness in the inflation outlook and the recent slide in market-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations, the Committee should commit to keeping the current target range for the federal funds rate at least until the one-to-two-year ahead inflation outlook has returned to 2 percent and should continue the asset purchase program at its current level.

The entire quantitative easing program was a massive 3.5 trillion dollar gift to Wall Street. 

The following is an excerpt from a Wall Street Journal report about a speech that former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan made to the Council on Foreign Relations on Wednesday…

Mr. Greenspan’s comments to the Council on Foreign Relations came as Fed officials were meeting in Washington, D.C., and expected to announce within hours an end to the bond purchases.
He said the bond-buying program was ultimately a mixed bag. He said that the purchases of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities did help lift asset prices and lower borrowing costs. But it didn’t do much for the real economy.
“Effective demand is dead in the water” and the effort to boost it via bond buying “has not worked,” said Mr. Greenspan. Boosting asset prices, however, has been “a terrific success.”

Moving forward, what did Greenspan tell the members of the Council on Foreign Relations that they should do with their money?
This might surprise you…

Mr. Greenspan said gold is a good place to put money these days given its value as a currency outside of the policies conducted by governments.

Current Events-Universalism

Ever since the beginning of time, man's biggest problem has been, and always will be, Death. However,  when the perishable is clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[h]

55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
    Where, O death, is your sting?”[i]

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ, who defeated death.

Therefore, any notion that takes that away from our Savior, is false doctrine that leads to destruction. The idea that we can get to heaven by any means, so long as we live "good lives" is a lie of the devil, one which would only lead to an overbearing sense of pride for  it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹ not by works, so that no one can boast. ¹⁰ For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Universalism is the craftiest of all lies because it does not at the forefront reject Christ's work. It simply minimizes its sovereignty. In essence, it doesn't lie, it just fails to tell the whole truth.

Again, to suggest that eternity can be achieved by any means other than through Christ, is a lie. Therefore, to "encourage" man to seek salvation by his own means, is to be against Christ, the work He gave his life up for, and therefore anti-christian.

Universalism, for the sake of peace and security, and thus a perceived united world, is united AGAINST Christ.

It appears the pope has caused a stir with statements that have gone against traditional catholic doctrines, more specifically, on the topic of creation. He explains that in order for evolution to take place, there must have been a creation to evolve.

“Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.”

The pope does appear to take a jab at God's omnipotence, or at the least, His mighty sovereignty, by saying the following:

“When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so.”

In any case, his revolutionary stance on moral issues has certainly made him a viable candidate for False Prophet....the leader of universalism....the craftiest of all lies.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/10/27/sheriff-defends-use-of-armored-truck/18040477/

WAUSAU, Wis. – Marathon County authorities acted appropriately when they sent two dozen officers and an armored vehicle to seize property from an elderly couple in the town of Stettin, Sheriff Scott Parks said Monday in response to critics.


I guess it becomes a matter of opinion in such matters....the department thinks it was appropriate.  HOWEVER, according to the department, soon after deputies started counting the items on the property, Roger Hoeppner came out of the house. When staff tried to calm him, he got "pushy" and tried bowling past them. At that point, a lieutenant decided to handcuff him and put him in the back of a squad car. On the way to the jail, Hoeppner agreed to pay the judgment, at which point officers left the property without seizing anything.

So all that firepower....just to leave the property without seizing anything after a simple promise to pay??


It makes me question Marathon County's statement. If all you needed was a simple promise to pay....why do you need a humvee and 24 dudes?

One day after governors in New York, New Jersey and Illinois imposed a mandatory 21-day quarantine on medical workers returning from Ebola-stricken countries in West Africa, public health officials in the District, Maryland and Virginia did not follow suit Saturday, intensifying a national debate over how to prevent the spread of the disease.
