1 Tim 66-10 (NCV) 6 Serving God does make us
very rich, if we are satisfied with what we have.
7 We brought nothing into the world, so we can
take nothing out. 8 But, if we have food and
clothes, we will be satisfied with that. 9 Those
who want to become rich bring temptation to
themselves and are caught in a trap. They want
many foolish and harmful things that ruin and
destroy people. 10 The love of money causes all
kinds of evil. Some people have left the faith,
because they wanted to get more money, but they
have caused themselves much sorrow.

Rev 317-18 17 You say, 'I am rich I have
acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you
do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful,
poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy
from me gold refined in the fire, so you can
become rich

War Years and Following 1940s The love of
money became evident as an explanation of the
fact that many quit the church when they left
home for these high salaries. Suddenly they had
a much larger income than they ever had, and
that was their chief delight.Some of the
worldly and irreligious people of our day were
children during the days when their parents
were unfaithful lovers of money. (p. 41)

The Uncertainty of Riches
1 Tim 617 17 Command those who are rich in this
present world not to be arrogant nor to put their
hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put
their hope in God, who richly provides us with
everything for our enjoyment.
But who is rich?

Were a nation that has had it so good for so
long that we nearly forgot there could be
adversity on a grand scale. We worry about
having enough money in the bank many people
around the world have no such worries, for they
have no money and no banks.We think about
getting our kids through school with good
grades. Many parents in conflict-torn parts of
the Middle East think about getting their kids
through childhood alive. Our money in the bank,
our roads, our always-available police, our
powerful military that doesnt push us around
these things we demand. Resources we could not
imagine living without are luxuries that most
people on earth could not imagine living with.
(p. 185)

Millions of people in the Middle East have spent
their lives with the things we experienced for
just a few minutes smoke, rubble, fire, dust,
instability, uncertainty, explosions. As bombs
rained down during the Gulf War, Americans went
to the mall and out to dinner. A UNICEF survey
found that more than half of the children in
Bosnia have been shot at by snipers, and 66
percent have been in a situation where they
thought they thought they were about to
die.Over the past decade2 million children
killed more than double that number have been
disabled, and more than 12 million have been
made homeless while we worried about tax cuts
and interest rates, and who might win an Academy
Award.We have (myself included) been out of
touch with most of the people on our small
planet. Other peoples wars are often little
more than geography lesson to Americans. (p.
185-186)
Why have we had it so good here in America?

A speaker from the esteemed Chinese Academy of
Social Sciences in Beijing said in a scheduled
lecture for tourists
Jeremiah 923-24 23 This is what the Lord says
"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the
strong man boast of his strength or the rich man
boast of his riches, 24 but let him who boasts
boast about this that he understands and knows
me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth, for in these
I delight," declares the Lord.
One of the things we were asked to look into was
what accounted for the success, in fact, the
pre-eminence of the West all over the world. At
first, we thought the power of the West was
because you had more powerful guns than we had.
Then we thought it was because you had the best
political system. Next we focused on your
economic system.
11
But in the past twenty years, we have realized
that the heart of your culture is your religion
Christianity. That is why the West has been so
powerful. The Christian moral foundation of
social and cultural life was what made possible
the emergence of capitalism and then the
successful transition to democratic politics. We
dont have any doubt about this.

How To Destroy America
The philosophy of the schoolroom in one
generation will be the philosophy of government
in the next. Abraham Lincoln

• Destroy Her Faith in God (Christianity).
• Destroy Biblical marriage/divorce.
• Destroy the Biblical role of govt.
• Christians remain silent/retreat

Judg 210-11 10 After that whole generation had
been gathered to their fathers, another
generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor
what he had done for Israel. 11 Then the
Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord and
served the Baals.
13
Daniel Webster, 1903 If we and our posterity
reject religious instruction and authority,
violate the rules of eternal justice trifle with
the injunctions of morality, and recklessly
destroy the political constitution which holds us
together, no man can tell how sudden a
catastrophe may overwhelm us that shall bury all
our glory in profound obscurity.

Deut 86-15 6 Observe the commands of the Lord
your God, walking in his ways and revering him.
7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a
good land a land with streams and pools of
water, with springs flowing in the valleys and
hills 8 a land with wheat and barley, vines and
fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey 9
a land where bread will not be scarce and you
will lack nothing a land where the rocks are
iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.
16
Deut 810-15 10 When you have eaten and are
satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good
land he has given you. 11 Be careful that you do
not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe
his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am
giving you this day. 12 Otherwise, when you eat
and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and
settle down, 13 and when your herds and flocks
grow large and your silver and gold increase and
all you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart
will become proud and you will forget the Lord
your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of
the land of slavery.

1 Kings 1710-12 10 Elijah called to her and
asked, "Would you bring me a little water in a
jar so I may have a drink?" 11 As she was going
to get it, he called, "And bring me, please, a
piece of bread." 12 "As surely as the Lord your
God lives," she replied, "I don't have any bread
only a handful of flour in a jar and a little
oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take
home and make a meal for myself and my son, that
we may eat it and die."
19
2 Kings 73-4 3 Now there were
four men with leprosy at the
entrance of the city gate.
They said to each other,
"Why stay here until we
die? 4 If we say,'We'll
go into the city, the famine
is there, and we will die.
And if we stay here, we
will die. So let's go over
to the camp of the Arameans
and surrender. If they spare us, we
live if they kill us, then we die."
2 Kings 625 There was a shortage of food in

Nah 28-10 8 Nineveh is like a pool, and its
water is draining away."Stop! Stop!" they cry,

grows pale.

scarce. They will be appalled at the sight of
each other and will waste away because of their
sin.

Matt 241-2 1 Jesus left the temple and was
walking away when his disciples came up to him to
call his attention to its buildings. 2 "Do you
see all these things?" he asked. "I tell you the
truth, not one stone here will be left on
another every one will be thrown down."
Matt 2419-25 19 At that time, how terrible it
will be for women who are pregnant or have
nursing babies! 20 Pray that it will not be
winter or a Sabbath day when these things happen
and you have to run away, 21 because at that
time there will be much trouble. There will be
more trouble than there has ever been since the
beginning of the world until now, and nothing as
bad will ever happen again.
Matt 2422,25 22 God has decided to make that
terrible time short. Otherwise, no one would go
on living. But God will make that time short to
help the people he has chosen. 25 Behold I have
warned you in advance.

5 God's power protects you through your faith
until salvation is shown to you at the end of
time. 6 This makes you very happy, even though
now for a short time different kinds of troubles
may make you sad. 7 These troubles come to prove
that your faith is pure. This purity of faith is
worth more than gold, which can be proved to be
pure by fire but will ruin. But the purity of
your faith will bring you praise and glory and
honor when Jesus Christ is shown to you.
1 Peter 11,5-7 From Peter, an apostle of Jesus

Heb 1032-37 32 Remember those days in the past
when you first learned the truth. You had a hard
struggle with many sufferings, but you continued
strong. 33 Sometimes you were hurt and attacked
before crowds of people, and sometimes you shared
with those who were being treated that way. 34
You helped the prisoners. You even had joy when
all that you owned was taken from you, because
you knew you had something better and more
lasting. 35 So do not lose the courage you had
in the past, which has a great reward. 36 You
must hold on, so you can do what God wants and
receive what he has promised.

U.S. dollar facing imminent collapse?Fed in bind
as Paulsen, Bernanke head to China
Posted December 10, 2006538 pm Eastern
Even as the stock market is hitting new record
highs almost every day, the Federal Reserve and
Treasury Department are quietly coordinating a
devaluation of the dollar that the Bush
administration hopes will be a slow decline
rather than a dollar collapse.
"You're dealing with mass psychology here,"
Williams argued. "The central bankers around the
world know they are going to take a hit on their
dollar holdings. None of the central bankers want
to start a dollar panic, but none of the central
bankers want to be the last out of the dollar,
either."
Are we experiencing a dollar collapse? "Not
yet," Williams answered. "I believe we're going
to have a dollar collapse, but the Fed is going
to do its best to slow play the dollar's decline
in value, so that it takes a year or two for the
dollar value to reach its low point."

When the stock market soars or plunges,
everyone pays attention. But short term results
aren't that important to the man you're about to
meet. David Walker thinks the biggest economic
peril facing the nation is being ignored, and for
nearly two years now he has been traveling the
country like an Old Testament prophet, urging
people to wake up before its too late. Who is
David Walker and why should we care?
U.S. Heading for Financial Trouble?
He resigned this month (Mar. 12)
David Walker
As correspondent Steve Kroft first reported
earlier this year, he is the nation's top
accountant, the comptroller general of the United
States. He's totaled up our government's income,
liabilities, and future obligations and concluded
that our current standard of living is
unsustainable unless some drastic action is
taken. And he's not alone. It's been called the
"dirty little secret everyone in Washington
knows" a set of financial truths so
inconvenient that most elected officials don't
even want to talk about them, which is exactly
why David Walker does.
"I'm going to show you some numberstheyre all
big and theyre all bad," he says. So bad, that
Walker has given up on elected officials and
taken his message directly to taxpayers and
opinion makers, hoping to shape the debate in the
next presidential election.
"I would argue that the most serious threat to
the United States is not someone hiding in a cave
in Afghanistan or Pakistan but our own fiscal
irresponsibility," Walker tells Kroft.

According to
the latest Social Security
and Medicare Trustees report (and I
use that
term loosely since it has the
word "trust" in it) released
earlier this week, the economic asteroid will
first make impact in the year 2019 when the
Medicaid trust fund becomes insolvent. Only an
immediate 122 percent increase in Medicaid taxes
and a 26 percent increase in Social Security
taxes can prevent (or more likely, delay) its
impact.

GRACE COMMISSION REPORT
WAR ON WASTE President's Private Sector Survey on
Cost Control 
January 12, 1984  The Honorable Ronald
ReaganPresident of the United StatesThe White
HouseWashington, D.C. 
Dear Mr. President, If fundamental changes are
not made in Federal spending, as compared with
the fiscal 1983 deficit of 195 billion, a
deficit of over ten times that amount, 2
trillion, is projected for the year 2000, only 17
years from now. In that year, the Federal debt
would be 13.0 trillion (160,000 per current
taxpayer) and the interest alone on the debt
would be 1.5 trillion per year. 
Dear Mr. President,   Following your directive
to identify and suggest remedies for waste and
abuse in the Federal Government,. 
Dear Mr. President, personal income taxes 100
percent of what is collected is absorbed solely
by interest on the Federal debt In other words,
all individual income tax revenues are gone
before one nickel is spent on the services which
taxpayers expect from their Government.

A Federal Reserve Note is not a Dollar - they
have no value

• U.S. Dept of Treasury web site states
• Federal Reserve notes are not redeemable in
  gold, silver or any other commodity, and receive
  no backing by anything. This has been the case
  since 1933. The notes have no value for

I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great
industrial nation is controlled by its system of
credit. Our system of credit is concentrated.
The growth of the nation, therefore and all our
activities are in the hands of a few men. We
have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of
the most completely controlled and dominated
governments in the civilized world. No longer a
government by conviction and the vote of the
majority, but a government by the opinion and
duress of a small group of dominant men.

What is a Federal Reserve Note?
1914

• It is a Private Bank Note
• (It is a promise from the bank to pay real lawful
  money)
• It is Redeemable for Lawful Money on Demand
• (Pursuant to Title 12 U.S.C. 411)
• It is NOT Constitutionally Authorized Money
• (Constitution only authorizes gold or silver coin
  Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts, see Article I
  Section 10, Clause 1)

44
In 1963 the words "WILL PAY TO THE BEARER ON
DEMAND" were removed from all newly issued
Federal Reserve notes. Then, in 1968, redemption
of pre-1963 Federal Reserve notes for gold or
silver officially ended. The Coinage Act of 1965
removed all silver from quarters and dimes, which
were 90 silver prior to the act. However, there
was a provision in the act allowing some coins to
contain a 40 silver consistency, such as the
Kennedy Half Dollar. Later, even this provision
was removed, and all coins minted for general
circulation are now 100 clad
45
Congress Knows The Truth

• From the Report of the Commission, established
  pursuant to Public Law 96-389
• In addition to the compelling economic case for
  the gold standard, a case buttressed by both
  historical and theoretical arguments, there is a
  compelling argument based upon the Constitution.
  The present monetary arrangements of the United
  States are unconstitutional --even
  anti-constitutional-- from top to bottom. (vol
  II, pg. 243)

Within 6 Months of the Gold Commission Report,
the Legislature reinstitutes lawful Silver Dollar
money followed by Gold money in 1985.

Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812)
Lord Mayer Rothschild
Give me control of a nations currency, and I
care not who makes its laws.
If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their currency, first by
inflation, then by deflation, the banks...will
deprive the people of all property until their
children wake-up homeless on the continent their
fathers conquered.... The issuing power should be
taken from the banks and restored to the people,
to whom it properly belongs.

I sincerely believe the banking institutions
having the issuing power of money are more
dangerous to liberty than standing armies.

and not money itself.

lights of publicity during those years. But now
the world is more sophisticated and prepared to

Nations that become members of UNESCO
accordingly assume an obligation to
revise textbooks used in their schoolsunilateral
efforts to revise the materials of instruction
are futile. The poison of aggressive
nation- alism injected into childrens minds is
as dangerous for world stability as the
manufacture of armaments. In both, supervision by
some kind of international agency is urgent.

The role which education will education will
play officially must be conditioned essentially
by policies established in the State Department
in this country, and by ministries of foreign

The Uncertainty of Riches
1 Tim 617-19 17 Command those who are rich in
this present world not to be arrogant nor to put
their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but
to put their hope in God, who richly provides us
with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command
them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to
be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way
they will lay up treasure for themselves as a
firm foundation for the coming age, so that they
may take hold of the life that is truly life.

War Years and Following 1940s War will come
again, and who can imagine the horrors if the
modern wea- pons are used? Is there any reason
to think that democracies are safe? Democracies
destroy themselves when the citizens learn to
vote themselves regular and ever growing checks
from the public funds. When governments fall,
national political boundaries are changed, and
the people endure the indescrib-able miseries of
war. Some of those who live through these times
may turn toward heaven where divine power is
still enthroned. (p. 39)

War Years and Following 1940s The Bible is
right, and the New Testa- ment is still the
divine law by which we may direct our feet toward
the land that is fairer than day. People do not
turn to to the Lord in great numbers, but He
ever lives to make intercession for those who
do turn to Him. We say to the young that they be
wise to set their affections on things above and
to lay up treasures in heaven. These treasures
are then beyond the reach of thieves, moths,
rust, and even the destruction of war. (p. 39).

War Years and Following 1940s Young people,
there will be times in your generation that try
mens souls, but look unto Jesus as the Author
and Finisher of your faith, and you will find the
Rock of hope as an anchor to hold you in the
confused and wicked world. Do not expect to find
firmness an stability in the shifting sands of
wickedness. Look up and away from the greed,
immorality and violence on the earth. Walk by
faith, the wonderful system of righteousness
revealed and exemplified by the Christ.

(p. 39).

1 Tim 21-4 1 First, I tell you to pray for all
people, asking God for what they need and being
thankful to him. 2 Pray for rulers and for all
who have authority so that we can have quiet and
peaceful lives full of worship and respect for
God. 3 This is good, and it pleases God our
Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and
to know the truth.
Do you pray America?

We speak with John Perkins, a former respected
member of the international banking community. In
his book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man he
describes how as a highly paid professional, he
helped the US cheat poor countries around the
globe out of trillions of dollars by lending them
more money than they could possibly repay and
then take over their economies ...JOHN PERKINS
Basically what we were trained to do and what our
job is to do is to build up the American empire.
To bring - to create situations where as many
resources as possible flow into this country, to
our corporations, and our government, and in fact
we've been very successful. We've built the
largest empire in the history of the world ...
primarily through economic manipulation, through
cheating, through fraud, through seducing people
into our way of life, through the economic hit
men. I was very much a part of that ... I was
initially recruited while I was in business
school back in the late '60s by the National
Security Agency, the nation's largest and least
understood spy organization ... and then it
sends us to work for private consulting
companies, engineering firms, construction
companies, so that if we were caught, there would
be no connection with the government ...I
became its chief economist. I ended up having 50
people working for me. But my real job was
deal-making. It was giving loans to other
countries, huge loans, much bigger than they
could possibly repay. One of the conditions of
the loan - let's say a 1 billion to a country
like Indonesia or Ecuador - and this country
would then have to give 90 of that loan back to
a US company, or US companies ... a Halliburton
or a Bechtel ... A country today like Ecuador
owes over 50 of its national budget just to pay
down its debt. And it really can't do it. So we
literally have them over a barrel. So when we
want more oil, we go to Ecuador and say, "Look,
you're not able to repay your debts, therefore
give your oil companies your Amazon rain
forests, which are filled with oil." And today
we're going in and destroying Amazonian rain
forests, forcing Ecuador to give them to us
because they've accumulated all this debt ... We
work very, very closely with the World Bank. The
World Bank provides most of the money that's used
by economic hit men, it and the IMF.
Yes, it was a fascinating time. I remember well
... the Treasury Department hired me and a few
other economic hit men. We went to Saudi Arabia
... And we worked out this deal whereby the Royal
House of Saud agreed to send most of their
petrodollars back to the United States and invest
them in US government securities. The Treasury
Department would use the interest from these
securities to hire US companies to build Saudi
Arabia - new cities, new infrastructure - which
we've done. And the House of Saud would agree to
maintain the price of oil within acceptable
limits to us, which they've done all of these
years, and we would agree to keep the House of
Saud in power as long as they did this, which
we've done, which is one of the reasons we went
to war with Iraq in the first place. And in Iraq
we tried to implement the same policy that was so
successful in Saudi Arabia, but Saddam Hussein
didn't buy. When the economic hit men fail in
this scenario, the next step is what we call the
jackals. Jackals are CIA-sanctioned people that
come in and try to foment a coup or revolution.
If that doesn't work, they perform
assassinations. Or try to. In the case of Iraq,
they weren't able to get through to Saddam
Hussein. He had - his bodyguards were too good.
He had doubles. They couldn't get through to him.
So the third line of defense, if the economic hit
men and the jackals fail, the next line of
defense is our young men and women, who are sent
in to die and kill, which is what we've obviously
done in Iraq

Nah 28-10 8 Nineveh is like a pool, and its
water is draining away."Stop! Stop!" they
cry,but no one turns back. 9 Plunder the
silver! Plunder the gold! The supply is
endless, the wealth from all its treasures! 10
She is pillaged, plundered, stripped! Hearts
melt, knees give way, bodies tremble, every face
grows pale.
