Will America Live or Die? We Must Provide the Answer!

Folks, I believe it to be critically important to share with you one of my great concerns for our nation; as follows:

When you stand for the National Anthem or Lee Greenwood's “Proud to be an American,” do you feel pride in your nation? Upon hearing these, most of us feel a national pride. However, I want to warn you that our nation has lost the greatness for which it once stood. We have also lost the love the world showed us at the end of WWII and are now hated by most of the world.

About the mid 1970s, the Wall Street Journal published an article that asked, “Why is there so much moral decay in America when there are so many churches and so many professing Christians?” I do not remember the title of the article exactly, but that is the question the author asked. The question is even more important today, as we have drifted farther away from our God over the last almost four decades. There is an explicit answer to the question.

So called Christian families and churches have failed to be a light to the world and the salt of the earth. In old Testament times, the Israelite nation, the Household of Faith which were the People of God, were entrusted with the word of God to take this light into the world to bring all the world into the Kingdom of God. They failed and the judgment of God was that they would be destroyed in 70 A.D. by the Roman army. Then God took the word from them and presented it to the church. Now the church has failed to confront the civil leaders with the word of God as the prophets of old did when we went before kings and boldly said, “Thus saith the Lord.”

Dear ones, the America which was founded upon biblical principles and was once the light to the world is failing. It is failing not because of a corrupt government, depreciating currency, unjust courts, abounding abortions, filthy music, pornographic movies, drugs, excessive alcohol, widespread divorce, and all the other symptoms. These are being brought upon us by the wrath of God. This is the judgment of God which is put upon us to test His people and to bring them to repentance and to turn us back to Him.

We are facing a severe battle ahead, and we must recognize that we are in a real battle. We, as Christian soldiers are facing the battle that has been fought by Christians since the sin of Adam in the Garden of Eden. My generation has largely failed in accomplishing the task of bringing all institutions of man and the earth, itself, under the Kingdom of God. Therefore, our God given task has fallen upon you.

You and we must humble ourselves before God, repent of our sins, and turn back to Him and live lives which glorify Him. To do this, we must “Put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having the breast plate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Eph. 6:11-17)

Taking up the sword of the Spirit means that you must study, meditate upon, and know the word of God. (2 Tim. 3:16) Without prayerfully doing this, you are bound to fail. This is not your battle alone. It is a battle of generations of Christians. Thus, it is critical that you prepare your children and grandchildren to carry on the fight. We will win the war by fighting and winning each of the battles the Lord brings to us in our lives.

Jesus Christ has beaten Satan, but it is our generations' job to mob up the remaining barriers of the world which are hindering the spread of the gospel of life to all peoples.

Remember that King Jesus has assured us of victory and He is in control. His promises are sure and there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We, of my generation, join fully with you in this fight. It is our job at this last hour to prepare you for the fight and to fight along your side to win each battle. But the task will fall to you very soon and you must not fail. The very existence of the U. S. of A. depends upon this. With the support of the Sovereign God, you can save our nation. However, we must all remember that there is nothing in scripture that says America will last forever. But we and you can turn the tide of decay which is spreading today.

This is a very critical matter and your actions will be blessed by God for obedience to His word or your actions against His word will receive the wrath of God. You will either choose life and follow His way or go the perceived easy way to ultimate death.

I care for each of you and have felt the need to share this with you to challenge you to take up the battle for the furtherance of the Kingdom of King Jesus. My prayer is that you will respond immediately and dedicate your life to this spiritual war. Please, join with me in this ongoing war for the Kingdom of God.




Now here is the latest on the markets. The pattern on the gold graph today are almost identical with that of June 15, but not very different from that of the 16th. Gold is still being capped even at this lower level. It is now trading at 930.30 on a down tick.

The miners are holding fairly well, but down a bit. As long as they stay above the 50 day moving average, they are OK. We may have more buying opportunity this week. Here they are >> DROOY 8.33; HL 2.55; HMY 10.15; SLW 8.52, and VGZ 1.93. HL, HMY, and VGZ are in good buying range from my perspective. If you decide to buy, make purchases in smaller increments and very cautiously. The prices are likely to go a bit lower before long as the rebound has yet to be very strong. The DOW is down about 13.
Silver, too, is under pressure. It is currently, 14.05 on a down tick.

Junior gold stocks: have wings, will fly

A glance at some of the junior gold names in the space of the world's top 100 most in-demand listed gold stocks.

Author: Barry Sergeant

JOHANNESBURG -

A selection of the world's 100 most in-demand gold stocks shows up an aggregate market value of USD 151bn worth of market value (capitalisation), and, measured on an average weighted basis, stocks that are trading a modest 18.5% below 12-months highs.

For some perspective, the MSCI world equities USD index for all global equities is trading 35% below its 12-month highs, but has so far managed a bounce of just 42% from its 12-month lows. The same 100 gold stocks referred to have bounced by a substantial 169%, measured on a weighted basis.

This eye-popping performance becomes astonishing when considering some of the individual gains; Canada-listed Ventana Gold has registered a stock price increase of more than 13,000% since listing just over six months ago; Appleton Exploration has surged by more than 3,000%; Azteca Gold by 2,300%; La Mancha Resources by 2,150%; London-listed Australian miner Norseman Gold by 2,067%; Pelangio by 1,500%, and Australian Solomons by 1,400%.

More on the BRIC meeting from DailyPfennig.com: "I can't believe the markets have allowed this to be swept under the rug... This could be colossal if it's carried through... And this way, all of them can smile and say they believe in the dollar and U.S. Treasuries while not dealing with them! Personally, I think the reason the markets aren't paying attention to these goings on, is that the media isn't covering it... The grip that the administration has on the media is really beginning to show just how tight it is...(emphasis added)

One other thing from the meeting... The BRIC nations announced that they wanted to take a more active role in the world's financing system... And with $2.8 Trillion in currency reserves among the 4 of them... That would be more than a "kind gesture"..."

More from the DailyPfennig.com: "Speaking of the media... I have to wonder what the media is thinking on this one... Here's the skinny... First of all, this story came to me a week ago... But at first, I thought, I had better make certain this is not a hoax before talking about it... What am I talking about? I'm talking about the report that two Japanese men were caught at the Swiss-Italian border with $130 Billion in U.S. Treasuries!!!!!!! Now, Chris and I were talking about this yesterday, and Chris said, "But I thought all Treasuries were book entry for some time now"... Yes, since 1982 (a great year, with the Cardinals winning the World Series!) Treasuries have been book entry only... So... The question I had from the beginning is "are they real or fake?" Because I didn't want to waste your time and mine if they were fake bonds... But apparently the someone believes them to be real...

Hmmm... $130 Billion in bearer bonds... Does this intrigue anyone? It sure does for yours truly. Does this mean that the U.S. Treasury has been printing bearer bonds and selling them under the cover of a dark night? That's the only explanation I can come up, IF THEY ARE FOR SURE REAL!

I don't know what to make of this except it has my attention, and I can't believe I don't see one story on cable news... But it's all over the news in Europe and Asia... More later, as additional news comes to light on this..."

So much for the promised open government. Of course, the government is only here to help, not to deceive us!

Making The Case

By: Theodore Butler

In trying to explain the ongoing silver (and gold) manipulation, I normally rely upon a straight text approach, using words to convey my premise. Today, I’m going to alter that a bit and rely more on visual and audible tools. Thanks to Carl Loeb, I will present two graphs depicting the concentrated short position of the US banks in all commodities, as compiled by the CFTC. Read it HERE and pay particular attention to the two full color graphs.

It seems there is a fungus among us according to the ChicagoTribune.com:

Fungus called 'time bomb' for worldwide wheat crop

The spores arrived from Kenya on dried, infected leaves ensconced in multiple layers of envelopes.

Working inside a bio-secure greenhouse outfitted with motion detectors and surveillance cameras, government scientists at the Cereal Disease Laboratory in St. Paul, Minn., suspended the fungal spores in a light mineral oil and sprayed them onto thousands of healthy wheat plants. After two weeks, the stalks were covered with deadly reddish blisters characteristic of the scourge known as Ug99. If you like bread, we may be in for a big shock before long >> Read it HERE.

Best to each, Doug
