THE BANKING CARTEL IS ABOUT TO LOSE POWER

War is next.  It is always the way to solidify power for the elite.

This will back fire.  They do not realize how desperate Russia is not to lose her sovereignty to a one-world racket.  Heck, if I were Putin, I would nuke the US (New York and the ability to project military power) to prevent it.  It is almost to that level of badness - the US is strangling nations who do not comply.  America is hated every bit as much as ancient Babylon was - and for the same reasons.

America is the whore who sits on many waters.  It is astounding how few people understand this.  She is the nation that Cleon Skousen said will fall before Russia picks up the baton and runs to the grisly finish line with Israel.  This is quite serious.  Folks, we have weeks.  Not even months or years.  The only question I have is what will be done with that critical time.

Even as the writer of this blog, I suffer from cognitive dissonance just as I did on Sept 11th and the months leading up to when my kid died.  I knew those events were coming - predicting them, but did little to prepare.  I chose not to actively do anything - almost as if ignoring the possible eventuality would somehow make it go away.  I love the phrase that Heber C. Kimball used to describe the Saints who were awaiting what they knew was coming (whether implicitly or just having a sense of it); "....(they) were still, not knowing what to do."  Sometimes, when you know terrible things are on the horizon, you simply freeze and are still, not knowing how to act.  I tend to get active and restless in times like these.

I was talking with my daughter on the way to Cardston about the difficulty and trickiness of the concept of faith.  If we exercise too much faith when we are weak and do not exert enough actions to show our faith (such as the recent case of the woman who took her hands off the wheel of her car to let God drive it for her; and then promptly mowed down a motorcyclist), then we can get into trouble.  The flip side is we can put too much trust in the arm of flesh and not allow God to work in our lives after we have done "all we can do".  It is a fine balance.  Truly a fine balance.

Back on track - here is what got me spun up.  It is exactly what the Mexican prophet had to say about the US bringing sanctions against Russia for invading the Ukraine; and then that back-firing on the US.  A collapse is coming this year for sure.  The 777 prophecy has come about in spades.  18 years of nothing and then three crashes in 377 days.  Just bizarre.  We are 13 months into the 24 month window that I made the call on.  It will happen in a day - and it could happen in two weeks or two months and not necessarily by July 8th of 2015.   Buckle up:

Emerging Nations Plan Their Own World Bank, IMF

WASHINGTON — Jul 14, 2014, 5:45 PM ET

By PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer

Fed up with U.S. dominance of the global financial system, five emerging market powers this week will launch their own versions of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa —the so-called BRICS countries — are seeking "alternatives to the existing world order," said Harold Trinkunas, director of the Latin America Initiative at the Brookings Institution.

At a summit Tuesday through Thursday in Brazil, the five countries will unveil a $100 billion fund to fight financial crises, their version of the IMF. They will also launch a World Bank alternative, a new bank that will make loans for infrastructure projects across the developing world.

The five countries will invest equally in the lender, tentatively called the New Development Bank. Other countries may join later.

The BRICS powers are still jousting over the location of the bank's headquarters — Shanghai, Moscow, New Delhi or Johannesburg. The headquarters skirmish is part of a larger struggle to keep China, the world's second-biggest economy, from dominating the new bank the way the United States has dominated the World Bank.

The bloc comprises countries with vastly different economies, foreign policy aims and political systems — from India's raucous democracy to China's one-party state.

Whatever their differences, the BRICS countries have a shared desire for a bigger voice in global economic policy. Each has had painful experiences with Western financial dominance: They've contended with economic sanctions imposed by Western powers. Or they've been forced to make painful budget cuts and meet other strict conditions to qualify for emergency IMF loans.

Now, says Thomas Wright, a fellow at Brookings' Project on International Order and Strategy, "they want a safety net if they fall out with the West."

Developing countries have also been frustrated because the U.S. Congress has refused to approve legislation providing extra money to help the IMF make more loans to countries in trouble. The money is part of a broader reform program that would give China and other developing countries more voting power at the IMF.

Uri Dadush, an economist with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, sees no problem with the BRICS countries' development bank and financial crisis fund. But he worries that the five countries' decision to go outside of existing institutions provides more evidence of the "fracturing of the postwar (economic) system that gave us so much peace and prosperity. The system has not been able to adapt to the new reality, the rise of the new powers."

The IMF and the World Bank seem to be taking the new challengers in stride.

"All initiatives that seek to strengthen the network of multilateral lending institutions and increase the available financing for development and infrastructure are welcome," said IMF spokeswoman Conny Lotze. "What is important is that any new institutions complement the existing ones."

Answering a question about the BRICS development bank earlier this month, World Bank President Jim Kim said: "We welcome any new organizations ... We think that the need for new investments in infrastructure is massive, and we think that we can work very well and cooperatively with any of these new banks once they become a reality."
