***My take is not that that it’s a greedy capitalist banker, but that it’s a BANKER***

{{forgive the delayed response}}
I would point out that our enemy is not opposing banks, they are opposing capitalism. The Dems all want to be tight with the banks {Mad Max, 0-zero, etc}, but they hate Wall Street and now openly say that capitalism is a complete failure.

Where did they get such an idea? Looking back at Nabta Playa in the SW Egyptian desert - 8 thousand years ago it was much wetter and a center for livestock herding. Those herds were sometimes driven maybe a thousand miles to Mesopotamia... why? Because there was profit to be made in such a treacherous expedition. The same principle holds true with the ancient Silk Route from the Mediterranean to the Far East - and back.

Capitalism is the foundation of civilization since before recorded history. It is that foundation that these nihilists wish to overthrow. We cannot allow that!

Eventually, capitalism in some form will always win out. Nothing else works and certainly not over the long term. Besides, the Bible speaks of every man having his own vineyard etc. in the Millennium, IIRC. Doesn’t sound like Communism, to me.

Even the Biblical example of New Testament communalism didn’t last too long. Undoubtedly human nature ended up in control of such selfless altruism. But during the Millennium, such human evils would supposedly at least be minimized. Yet, it evidently pleases God to have every man/family have their own turf, manage their own economic affairs & trading etc.

Hi Bob! Hope you are feeling well.

I completely get your point about Capitalism and also about Nihilism.

I have often heard that people say the Stock Market is the "purest form of Capitalism." I disagree. Today's markets are vastly manipulated (and also quite over inflated).

The "Central Banks" are not really banks. They are political powers who wormed their way into our lives, economy, currency, and everything else. The creation of the Federal Reserve (which isn't Federal and has no reserves) is one of the most evil chapters in our nation's history.

Nihilism seems to be a tool of Satan, in that the negativity and despair that it evokes seeks to choke off the goodness, beauty, and joy that God has provided. Not to mention the pure insanity that life "has no meaning."

Sure seems like the world needs to read Ephesians 6: 10-20.

Again, hope you are doing well.
