NATIONAL GLOBAL SOCIALISM

…led by Babylon the Great

Part XXVI

The Rise or Fall of American Empire?

Doug Krieger

God's Message came to me, "Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, 'This is what God, the Master, says:

"'Your heart is proud,
   going around saying, "I'm a god.
I sit on God's divine throne,
   ruling the sea"—
You, a mere mortal,
   not even close to being a god,
A mere mortal
   trying to be a god.
Look, you think you're smarter than Daniel.
   No enigmas can stump you.
Your sharp intelligence
   made you world-wealthy.
You piled up gold and silver
   in your banks.
You used your head well,
   worked good deals, made a lot of money.
But the money has gone to your head,
   swelled your head—what a big head!

(Ezekiel 28:1-5 – The Message Translation)

In other words, the King of Tyre, leading prototype of the coming world economic system which is upon us—just in case you think this is but a quaint metaphorical adumbration of minor prescient worth—has gotten himself a big head (aka, a FAT HEAD)! Don’t think for one Wall Street minute (aka “New York minute”) that the nationalization of America’s banking system, and ipso facto the socialization of the world’s banking system…if you would, the “financial socialism of the world’s banking system” is not wholly embraced by the G7 and the G20 (comprising 90% of the world’s wealth) this very weekend: October 11-12, 2008. Alas! Now we utterly know that without the infamous MARK OF THE BEAST one cannot “buy nor sell” – the whole earth has gone mad and followed after the Beast!

You’ve got to be a total Luddite to think otherwise. Stop progress? No way – the Industrial Revolution’s demise is as absurd as the financial amalgamation of the world’s banking system and, again, ipso facto ALL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS—including your precious alternative systems (e.g., Credit Unions, Pension Funds, IRA’s, Money Market Accounts, etc. – in sum, the entire wealth of the world!). It’s a farce to think the world’s stock exchanges can ever again operate in a wholly capitalistic, free-wheeling, Wild West fashion—EVER AGAIN!

Why? Because these unregulated, damnable DERIVATIVES – this sophisticated, uncensored, unimaginable, devilish system wherein financial institutions have leveraged everything from soup to nuts with OPM (other people’s money) – have come, like the chickens of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, home to roost!

No, this is not NATIONAL SOCIALISM – with its deviant ethno-racist superiorities; nor is it COMMUNIST SOCIALISM – with its failed ideology and utopian claptrap…NO, NO, NO – this is blatant NATIONAL GLOBALIZATION, fueled and led by the world’s foremost super power and KING OF TYRE: The United States of America.

She, more than all the world’s economies has infuriated this financial tempest…her tentacles have reached to the uttermost parts of the earth and infected all the world’s merchants who gather in her Capitol to resolve the earth’s financial quandary! Her sneeze has caught the world’s financial markets a severe case of global pneumonia—but she comes with anecdote to inject the patients…a sort of addictive antibiotic that unless, and until, the desperate patient takes the lethal dose, will, in any event, succumb to the financial plague which envelopes the whole earth. They are “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” – there is no escape; they’re all in this together…and to think otherwise, you’ve still got your head in the sand!

Once the DERIVATIVE DOMINOS begin to fall—it’s all over. Calling in the loans from whom? Enter the Swiss-based International Bank of Settlements whose immediate purpose to “settle the score” among these high-stake financiers—someone will have to pay, but whom shall bear the blame? There is not enough money in all the planet to untie this Gordian Knot of devilish derivatives which come in all sizes their wonders to perform: Credit Swaps or Credit Default Swaps, Foreign Exchange Contracts, Interest Rate Contracts, Equity-linked Contracts, Commodity Contracts and Unallocated Instruments – for a whopping total of $850Trillion! The earth’s entire Gross National Product is $50Trillion (USA’s is $15Trillion and her federal budget approximates $3.3Trillion).

Bear Stearns’ $13+Trillion in derivatives would have started the DERIVATIVE DOMINO EFFECT, but this ailing 85-year-old investment bank on March 17, 2008, was purchased by JP Morgan Chase for a paltry $2 a share for $250 million—thus, with great fanfare was spared the monster Ponzi Scheme among thieves…and the derivatives played on. The dirty little secret was the Fed coughed up $30Bn to JP Morgan Chase to pull off the deal—no one understands, no one cares…we only care that the Ponzi Scheme does not destroy the world banking system!

Listen – everyone’s in on the scam – the Russians (who just dumped nigh $5Bn into the Europeans fast and loose Icelandic Banking business—or, as some have ventured to surmise, bought Iceland, a NATO ally); the Chinese—especially, the Chinese, who are about to go bust through this mess and have nowhere to turn but to Babylon the Great to keep her over-extended factories producing products for the world’s foremost conspicuous consumer or die trying; the Europeans—who’s bogus fetes of union and their effete Euro has collapsed, given the disparities of languages, monetary systems and blatant socio-economic-religio-and you name it fratricide (i.e., what a farce to think from Europe we herald the coming Antichrist!); the Latin American nations – the lot of them who were addicted to America’s IMF, World Bank and World Trade Organization (oh, these guys are going to be hurting big time); and then there’s all those oil-producing states who are sinking into financial oblivion as oil is about to lose half its value (now in the $70p/b range as of Oct. 10)…oh, these guys are into a totally rude awakening. I could go on and should go on to prove the point that “all the merchants of the earth” find themselves in a horrific practice run for their final performance found in Revelation 18:

“The merchants of these things,

who became rich by her,

will stand at a distance for fear of her torment,

weeping and wailing,

and saying, Alas, alas, that great city

that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet,

and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

For in one hour such great riches came to nothing
(Revelation 18:15-16)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

The international banking complexity wherein this wretched interdependence demands immediate and lasting (not temporary) attention by the likes of the G7 (then having the G7 dictate to the G20 the terms of the arrangement – again, led by the USA) is a fate accompli. How clever of us all. First, the USA banks are forced, by the FED’s $700Bn bailout to lend to foreign banks – therefore, for example, how dare the European banks to lend but to themselves and not to America! Same goes for every national aspiration of every bank on the globe—and yes that includes our cold little friends in Iceland and their selfish efforts to take care of their 320,000 population first!

We have awoken to the financial reality that we are one unhappy family of nations—inextricably bound together by Babylon’s delightful chords. You only thought you could trade without Big Daddy Warbucks. You only thought you could play currency conversion games on your own. Here, open your mouth, take the medicine, you’re banking system’s about to be nationalized, or should we say, INTERNATIONALIZED or, better yet, GLOBALIZED!

Only problem is, we only thought we were all so independent and could call our own financial deals our own, without consideration of the whole. Now, managing how banks of the world must play the lending game to one another must be done…but who will orchestrate such a glorious collaboration upon equals? Did someone say EQUALS? What a quaint thought. Here, open your mouth again, it’s time to get real here on who’s calling the shots around this joint, I mean, joint effort at global financial stabilization and bringing fresh credit to the world marketplace.

So – while the G7 plot and plan this marvelous collaboration of financial turpitude, certainly, we’ll all understand what in the world is going on here, won’t we? Of course we won’t! I know, let’s have the world’s banking systems—you know, all those Sovereign Funds (aka Central Banks) keep pumping in more Dollars, Francs, Pounds, Dinar, Rubles, Yuan, Yen, Pesos, Shekel, Lira, Shilling, Marks, Rupees, Rands, Krona, ad nausea adinfinitum down the black hole of inflation until we’re all running around looking like Zimbabwe’s 100,000% inflated dollar…there aren’t enough trees on the planet to suffice our foolishness!

Oh, yes, this globalization of the international banking system will have immediate and altogether staggering consequences—but the patient will die if she doesn’t have radical surgery, followed by massive chemotherapy, coupled with staggering doses of radiation…perhaps she’ll almost die, but hope springs eternal…the idea is, she’ll live to fight another day, but the process must be radical, otherwise, the funeral will be sooner, rather than later (some choice, right?).

You say that somehow, in some way the G7 must find a way to be less intrusive in their application for the world patient to survive—I mean, after all, how liberating it once was for Wall Street Bandits and their cohorts around the globe to rape and pillage the unsuspecting populous (Note: Legally allowed to do so by the criminals running the US Congress, and assisted by a President whose sterling performance in front of the American populous (Oct. 10, 2008) sent the DOW plunging nearly 200 points in scarcely 8 minutes!). If only they could be less conspicuous—perhaps we can buy her a wig to hide the effects of her radiation (forgive me if I’ve offended anyone with this metaphor—but to what I allude is Babylon’s Great Whore who rides atop the Beast of Revelation 17…somehow the hairpiece just fits at this juncture).

In other words—how to obfuscate the dastardly deed of the globalization of the world’s financial markets—that’s the trick! So, what the G7 needs to do, lead by the USA, is to “have your cake and eat it too.” Great idea—by this is meant that globalization of financial markets will take place…and the unsuspecting populous won’t even know they’re bleeding to death (the razor blades cut will be so fine; the patient won’t feel a thing). They can “truthfully say” – “We saved free and open markets without major surgery after all.”

In point of fact—these guys, I am utterly convinced haven’t a genuine clue how to administrate a New World Order Banking System…NOT EVEN CLOSE! How in the world (no pun intended) can these Central Bankers bear the burden of $850Trillion in bogus derivatives? (Please see the Bank of International Settlements site.) They can’t. The general populous will become unruly—they’ll demand action from those void of that capability. Problem is --- TIME HAS RUN OUT. I am reminded of my brother’s plight in holding up one end of a rope ladder as his partner, Mike Green, dangled in utter fear that Dwight would let loose of the rope: “Dwight, you don’t understand, you cain’t let go” – and said with a strong Southern accent made the story all the more interesting.

But let go they shall—for the global markets with all their bogus equity and the like have taken their worst hit ever—our own stock exchanges have lost upwards of $10Trillion—to say nothing of the global economies and exchanges—exchanges, like Russia’s and China’s which have nearly tanked!

It was 1933 – FDR declared a BANKING HOLIDAY for America. Guess what? We’re about to declare a total suspension of equity trading throughout this earthly clod that will make FDR’s holiday look like vacationing in a slum versus sipping champagne on a yacht in Monte Carlo (weird comparison, but works for now). Yep, they’ll appear as if they’ve contemplated this on behalf of the world’s volatile stock exchanges for the betterment of the human race—especially, after a fresh spat in Bermuda where privacy and the like (just kidding) would drive the populous nuts for its extravagance in the midst of calamity. But it will have been time well spent to sort out the financial disorders of our time.

Critical to the financial imbroglio they face is this: How to keep the markets’ appearance as “free” while they go about the delicate process of utterly manipulating these loosey-goosey financial systems by a cohesive governmental effort of the greatest magnitude. Simple enough for the King of Tyre whose great wisdom and understanding in trade has made him filthy rich. Let’s just say, any radical surgery will be quite temporary and, actually, might be totally avoided if nothing is discovered—similar to getting a colonoscopy without anesthetic? Grief, that sounds awful…and it will be, trust me, though I’m no doctor.

Can we really predict what bizarre outcome and tangible relief awaits us all? No, it’s not hard to say—trust me, bits and pieces can’t work (i.e., nationalizing banks in Iceland but not in France, for example)—what we need is a TOTAL SELL OUT—absolute globalization of the earth’s financial markets to the uttermost or DIE! You might look differently than we Americans; you might eat differently than we Americans; you might have a completely different culture than we Americans have—but I’ve got news for you: Your financial system (aside from Zimbabwe and a few bozo and blighted spots on this blue planet) operates a lot like our own…therefore, ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE or perish in your national consciousness and utter stupidity in the process.

Besides, they’ll make the decisions for you; and the people are so fed up with the unscrupulous works of the thieves currently running our world markets that we’ll celebrate the demise of our sovereignty with great relief and fanfare! Shall I say it – dare say it? Yes, we deserve every last bit of this deception because we’ve worked so hard to get it in the first place—our consumer-driven economy has engulfed the whole earth – our culture of greed and militarism has enveloped the nations who’ve been as arrogant and as tempted to indulge as we. Well have we taught them the ways of Babylon the Great…but now, we’ve run out of the world’s treasuries to fund our ceaseless wars and rampant deficits, spurred on by our insatiable appetite for cheap energy and all things material

Listen, you don’t TEMPORARILY ABANDON the way we’ve all done business – NO! You plunge headlong into the abyss of INTERNATIONAL GLOBALIZATION of the foremost order. Once you go down this slippery slope of internalization of the world’s financial systems….THERE IS NO RETURN!! NONE!!

This article, as you can readily see – quotes from no one – I rant and rave in the wilderness of my grief as I see the world plunge into the cesspool of financial distress and find the remedy for our exit from this disaster worse than the train wreck if left to run amok. Image – the cure is worse than the disease…an all too familiar scenario with so many who have endured disastrous surgeries only to be maimed in some way for life thereafter.

The Oracle of Damascus awaits us…the age has finally changed…the time of our judgment hastens…we will never be the same…

“The kings of the earth who committed fornication

and lived luxuriously with her will weep

and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying,

‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon,

that mighty city!

For in one hour your judgment has come.’

And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her,

For no one buys their merchandise anymore”

(Revelation 18:9-11)
