Crash of the dollar?????

 From Dan Carr – A red flag.  

We have heard about the AMERO currency for at least two years. We have heard about its justification based on competition with the EURO of Europe. We have heard about the new highway being build from Mexico to Canada. We have heard about the under-the-cover treaty being put together between Mexico-United States-Canada. We heard about the ten regional detention centers built under Reagan for holding Americans in time of upheaval with a capacity to hold many thousands of people.

 

We have heard about the withdrawing of several thousand soldiers from Iraq and pressing them into a national guard to preserve order inside the United States. This was supposedly under the guise of preserving order in case of a terrorist attack. It is unconstitutional but in a time of upheaval the Constitution is interpreted in the direction of preserving the nation. It could also be in preparation for maintaining order under the proposed merger of the three nations. This kind of crisis is new to all of us. Regardless of which way the ball bounces on this, God will still be in His office the next day and the sun will come up as usual.

 

I’m sending these two links for you to read and pooh-pooh or read and be forewarned. We may end up raising and eating turnips. Buying gold and silver and burying it in the ground can be risky business. Savings accounts are now little more than a place to house what money you have and hopefully not to lose much through inflation. The interest on them is not much. But we have assumed that at least in a savings account we won’t be robbed. Well, don’t count on that anymore either. The first thing to do is to open our eyes and ears and try to discern what is really going on and how will it really affect us.

And now we have the news that depletion of the American Dollar is far along the road to requiring a new currency. This mechanism is sometimes used to salvage a failed currency. We essentially went off the gold backing of the dollar under Roosevelt and gold coins were confiscated by the government in 1933. Our currency remained as a “dollar” and maintained its appearance. But while foreigners could demand gold in exchange for dollars, American citizens could not.

 

It reads:

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL PAY TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND ONE DOLLAR.

 

A gold standard dollar bill. Note the words "Will Pay to the Bearer on Demand One Dollar", (under Washington’s picture) which were removed when the dollar was floated, that is, when the gold backing was removed. Under Nixon in 1971 we went off the Brenton Woods system of monetary management established the rules for commercial and financial relations among the world's major industrial states. The United States was simply no longer able to redeem the paper gold-backed dollars to foreigners.  We were essentially “gold bankrupt.”

 

 

A Series 1957 silver standard dollar bill, or “silver certificate.” It too said: “Will Pay to the Bearer on Demand One Dollar. That meant in silver.

The End of the Silver Certificates. Congress abolished the redemption of silver certificates on June 4, 1963. All redemption in silver ceased on June 24, 1968.

Paper currency is still valid legal tender without the Silver Certificate, instead being backed simply by the perceived strength of the U.S. economy. According to the U.S. treasury, "The notes have no value for themselves, but for what they will buy. In another sense, because they are legal tender, Federal Reserve notes are 'backed' by all the goods and services in the economy."^[1]  In other words, it is fiat money. The United States was no longer able to redeem silver-backed dollars in silver to the American people. We were essentially “silver bankrupt.”

Depleting the dollar would be a practical way, perhaps the only way of pulling off a merger of Canada, Mexico and the United States without an uproar of the American people. When Communism wants to take over a nation, they usually cause a big problem that can be solved by the Communists. The ones who caused the problem are then the heroes. Having a common currency with Mexico and Canada would pave the way to having a new nation: The United States of North America. It would also jolt us out of our loyalties to our country and set us up to be loyal to a New World Order.

 

The first thing to do about this is not to panic. Remember the doomsday we faced in Y2K? It could have happened but it did not. Our computers did not destroy us because they were incapable of dealing with the turn of the millennium to the year 2000. But the potential was there and a lot of money and rush labor was expended to alter the computers so the banks and monetary contracts did not crash around us.

 

The first temptation will be to pull all your money out of the bank and convert it into silver or gold coins. Not so fast. That might be part of the solution after you have thoroughly studied everything. If you are going to convert bank dollars into silver or gold, the most desirable form is coins because they are small, measured pieces of the real thing. But that form of wealth is not suitable for fast legal tender at Walmart. Converting it into spendable cash is a process that may require a lot negotiation every time you need to buy something.  It would help to know something about the silver coin part of the world. Silver and silver coins are worth less than gold and gold coins. For that reason, silver is more desirable as a medium of exchange. (You don’t want to have to break a $20 bill every time you buy a coke.)

 

If you decide to hedge against possible losses, the first exchange of your current money should be for food: canned, dried. Staples.  The most difficult time will be the first few months. So hedging by investing in food is the most logical thing to do. The second thing may be to make sure you have adequate protection against robbery. Locks and guns are the old standby. It also will be a good time to pool efforts in your church to help feed as many as you can. Many of the old Southern Gospel songs came from coping with the depression of the 30’s. “We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials.” Are you stocked up on garden seed? We old-timers who went through the big depression are less apt to panic because we practiced gardening and canning and drying food as a way of life and lived out of it. A good 7-quart pressure cooker is a good investment and 12 dozen qt. jars Team up with those who already know how to do it. You’ll get the hang of it in a hurry.

 

Most Americans know nothing – absolutely nothing – about the monetary difficulties the early Americans had about the time of the Revolutionary War and also the Civil War. Have you heard the term: Not worth a Continental? It’s a reference to a Continental dollar. The unstable currency of the time almost caused us to lose the American Revolution. Some of my family sold a farm that was paid for in Confederate dollars and they ended up using the money for wall paper.

 

During this financial mess we are in, many 401K investments have lost half their value. That is not fiction. It is the truth. The calling in of dollars by our government in exchange for AMEROS would be a similar but far more devastating act that would impoverish the life savings of millions of people. The logic would be the same as the bailout going on in Washington: “We are going to save you from total ruin.”

 

The U. S. Dollar  is one form of silver coins.  However, Andrew Williams, a spokesman for the Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C says.:

"There is no law that says goods and services must be paid for with Federal Reserve notes. Parties entering into a transaction can establish any medium of exchange that is agreed upon."

The Liberty Dollar is a long-time produced coin by the U. S. Government. Its value has fluctuated much through the years since we went off the silver standard in 1971. It is a numismatic  coin owned by coin collectors who trade them.

There is also a privately produced Liberty Dollar that is rising in popularity against the falling dollar. It is gaining in popularity much like UPS and FedEx have gained in popularity against the U.S. Postal Service. Check with this address to read more about it.

                 

 

Good Morning! - Dan 4:4-5 - Troubing Dreams

I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace: I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. (Dan 4:4-5)

This Nebuchadnezzar was number two by that name. He is the most famous because the Prophet Daniel wrote of him in the Bible. This assured that Nebuchadnezzar would become a household name in many parts of the world for all time to follow. The man was ruthless and cruel and would stop at nothing to extend his political power. He was also a very gifted man in warfare and government organization.

He reigned for forty five years and in today's story, he was resting from long years of war. Chapter four appears to be several years after chapter three. He had subdued his enemies and organized his occupation of the captured territories. Some would say that he "had everything by the tail." However the occupation of a vast territory assures that you will always have people studying ways to break the yoke. While his army controlled effectively, he could not control his dreams, especially the dreams sent by God.

Many a man has reached a point in life when he is at rest in his house and his business is flourishing. But like a sudden clap of thunder, lightning strikes unexpectedly. James said: …ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that (Jas 4:14-15).

Another wisely said: Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips (Pro 27:1-2).

One dream can alter the status of an empire. Talk about fragile! I once saw a film clip of NAZI Germany's Adolf Hitler pacing the floor with his hands clasped behind him. He had just had a disturbing dream. According to the narrator of the film, the dream caused him to delay his building of his jet fighter. Dreams sometimes cut past logic and science and organizational structure. How about this dream…

And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.

And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.

And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshiped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.

(Jdg 7:13-15)

Nebuchadnezzar "...was afraid that something bad would befall him, though he knew not what: thus God can make the minds of the greatest men uneasy amidst all their glory, pride, and pleasure:" (Gill). The dream "made him afraid." I have heard some say that God does not use dreams today. That is foolish talk. God can use anything He pleases to use. It may be a dream; it may be a knock at the door, it may be a letter in the mail; it may be a visit with the doctor. God warns, strives, urges, and pleads with people to turn to Him. For many centuries God's offer has been:

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Rom 10:13) and … Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.(Act 16:31).

What a blessing when God troubles a man. I have visited many old people in hospitals whose lives were dissipating with cancer or some other degenerative disease. They had never had time to think about God but in that state, they began thinking about meeting God and what they ought to do to get ready. At last they surrendered and called on the Lord to forgive them of their sins and asked Christ to be their personal savior. A man asked me to come to his house after being sent home to die.

He invited his whole family to come and watch him give his heart to the Lord. I conducted his funeral the next week. I'll never forget it. We gathered on the front porch. When he prayed it was late dusk. Chickens had flown up into a cedar tree in the front yard. Two hens were perched on a table against the wall on the porch. When he finished praying the hens on the porch and in the cedar tree began singing. It happened! All the adults on the porch had grown up with chickens and knew that hens do not sing at dusk. That included me. God does things.
