America Held Hostage On The Edge Of Constant Crisis

Torture, or what our government calls “enhanced interrogation”, is not a tactic so much as a darkly artistic process. The subject of this process has something that the torturer wants; it might be information, or a forced confession to a crime the subject did not commit, but most often, torture is designed to gain nothing more than psychological compliance.

The goal is to manipulate the subject into believing that submission is the only possible future, and that such submission is inevitable regardless of the will of the victim. The torturer often builds himself up as a kind of parent figure for the subject – becoming the only entity that can supply shelter, water, food, and comfort. The torturer is taskmaster and abuser, but also caregiver in the twisted relationship dynamic. A schizophrenic balance is struck in which the subject longs for the outside world and a return to the pleasures of the past (making him desperate and malleable), but he also partially accepts his prison walls as home (giving him a false faith that compliance will lead to a safer and more predictable tomorrow).

It is my belief based on substantial evidence that America, as a nation and a culture, is now being held hostage and tortured into submission on a grand scale using economic terror by the elitist establishment which dominates BOTH major political parties.

Not very optimistic is he?

Brief reading of what is just posted here...but...

The elitists in DC have been “grooming” the public for a long, long time.

The best description of living in America in 2013?

It’s like walking into a bar where a biker gang is fighting it out with some Navy crowd in town from their battleship, with six midget wrestlers taking on Hulk Hogan, a meth gal explodes on some bartender when he brings up her flip-flops as an issue, a drunk gal is talking to the wooden Indian figure by the pool table, some college guys are being lectured by some Bulgarian professor on American economics (he knows more than them), a hooded kid is whooping up on some Hispanic guy, and the owner is discussing with the local mayor some bribery opportunity with forty people standing and listening to the whole offer.

you know, I thought about something similar 25 years ago. I work for a large defense contractor. a plum job, we went to work everyday and just did our job.
one day, around say 1990, things changed. all of a sudden it was not just come in and do your job, it was almost like constant harassment. as a matter of fact, we were told specifically, just doing your job is not enough. it was like they always wanted us on edge. I believe that was the start of a new type of culture they want to now move to peoples lives.

A person doesn’t have to be an optimist to be correct.

[listenhillary]

I didn’t say he wasn’t correct. It’s pretty much spot on.

We’re now the land where liberty and freedom are feared. It’s too tough of a slog for 50 to 60% of Americans.

The IRS said this week it is delaying the start of the tax filing season, leading Republicans to argue that the agency is putting its focus on implementing Obamacare at the expense of helping average taxpayers.

The IRS blamed the government shutdown, saying that when it furloughed 90 percent of its employees it lost too many work days to begin processing returns on time in January.

he also partially accepts his prison walls as home (giving him a false faith that compliance will lead to a safer and more predictable tomorrow).

Yeah... some who walked through the gates of Auschwitz thought the same thing when they viewed the words, "Arbeit Macht Frei."

[ScottinVA]

Americans are viewing the chains that bind them to the plantation floor and are rationalizing their loss of liberty. “At least we have food, a roof over our heads and the State gives us medical care. These chains aren’t that bad...”

[RckyRaCoCo]

"...you never let a serious crisis go to waste..."

...so let's go out and create some...

[RckyRaCoCo]

"...you never let a serious crisis go to waste..."...Rahm Emanuel

...so let's go out there and create some...Saul Alinsky

[listenhillary]

In the end, the food will be wormy, the roof will leak, and the medical care consists of forced calisthenics every morning in front of your communal hut. After that you go work in the collective garden so you can get your soy-lent green soup for lunch.

At least government is taking care of us. What would we do without them?

[listenhillary]

I hear that Democratic representatives are handing out vouchers that will pay for your entire first two years of ACA premiums AND the entire deductible for both years. Just call their office and they’ll set you up.

Don’t tell anyone. They don’t want the Republicans to catch on to this and ruin it.

Last year China surpassed the U.S. as the world's largest importer and exporter, making its currency, the Yuan, more desirable than the greenback as a reserve in the long term. Since 2010, China has been quietly but quickly establishing multiple bilateral trade agreements with numerous countries dropping the dollar as the primary purchasing mechanism. China has accumulated massive gold stores and is set to become the world's largest holder of gold in the next two years. In the past year, China has also surpassed the U.S. as the number one importer of oil, making it a more valued market for the Middle East and causing many to question the dollar's relevance as the petro-currency:

Saudi Arabia, America's primary ally and foothold in the global oil market, is now openly calling for an end to traditional agreements and a separation from the U.S. because of the lack of military action in Syria. This too does not bode well for the dollar's petro-status. Like a chess maneuver, it would seem we have been cornered by the globalists on oil. If we invade Syria or Iran we risk losing petro-status. If we do not invade Syria or Iran, we still risk losing petro-status:

In response to the dismal debt ceiling extension and the uncertainty underlying the new debate coming in the next few months, China's ratings agency, Dagong, has downgraded U.S. treasury bonds yet again:

U.S. Treasuries are now witnessing the lowest foreign demand since 2001:

Three near-crisis events in only three months have signaled a severe acceleration in what the Chinese call the “de-Americanization” of the global economy. All of the financial shifts taking place since the derivatives implosion of 2008, as well as those rushing like white-water rapids through the global system in the wake of the debt ceiling debate, are gravitating towards ONE outcome – the destruction of the dollar, and the introduction of a new global currency (the SDR) controlled the the IMF.

Russia's Vladimir Putin has called for a global currency run by the IMF to replace the dollar:

Hell, even the Vatican has called for a global currency run by a “global public authority” to replace the dollar:

There is a world-wide strategy in motion to end the dollar, and with it, America as we know it today. The only question is, how many more near-disasters will we have to experience before the trigger event takes place?

This is the scariest, and most spot on observation I have seen in months. Couple this with the news from this week:

Saudi Arabia severs diplomatic ties with US over response to conflict in Syria

Germans launch probe into allegations of U.S. spying

The nations of the world have now fully realized that not only is Obama incompetent, but he cannot be trusted, and he is advancing the cause of evil in the world.

The millions upon millions of rude, lazy, and selfish Americans have no idea how close we have come in just the last few weeks of total collapse. Obamas ticking off the Saudis and the EU can only mean the acceleration to remove the US Dollar as the worlds reserve currency is almost upon us.

Overnight, our Dollar (the "almighty dollar") will be worthless.

All this must happen for the antichrist to rise in power. The entire world's economy must be under his grip, along with the power of life over death.

We are so very near.

Several years ago, anyone who believed in a the rise of a single world currency was derided as a "nut." But Scripture points towards it, and it will happen.

The world will very soon fly into a panic. If anyone here is a believer in Christ Jesus, we should remember that He is in control:

Isaiah 45:6-7 - That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

Also, God has a plan:

Jeremiah 29:11 - - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Let us rejoice that the King is coming. That God is at work, and all affliction is gain, because if we suffer then our suffering for Christ's sake is counted along with His own glory for God.

The board is set, the pieces are moving.

The SDR prices per unit currency are already set and ready to go:

SDRs per Currency unit and Currency units per SDR last five days

Trust in God, and be grateful to Him that we have been chosen to live during these days. For His glory. Amen.

One part of me wants to not believe this is happening. The other part is saying bail out, cash in the 401K and lose 1/3 of it to the government and convert the rest to silver.
