What to Do When Every Market Is Manipulated

What do the following have in common?
LIBOR, Bernie Madoff, MF Global, Peregrine Financial, zero-percent interest rates, the Social Security and Medicare entitlement funds, many state and municipal pension funds, mark-to-model asset values, quote stuffing and high frequency trading (HFT), and debt-based money?
The answer is that every single thing in that list is an example of market rigging, fraud, or both.
How are we supposed to make decisions in today’s rigged and often fraudulent market environment? Where should you put your money if you don’t know where the risks lie? How does one control risk when control fraud runs rampant?
Unfortunately, there are no perfect answers to these questions. Instead, the task is to recognize what sort of world we happen to live in today and adjust one’s actions to the realities as they happen to be. The purpose of this report is not to stir up resentment or anger -- although those are perfectly valid responses to the abuses we are forced to live with -- but to simply acknowledge the landscape as it is so that we can make informed decisions.

The Church: What Is It? - Life, Hope & Truth

Is it a building? We need to know what the Church really is. Is God’s Church a building, or is it something else? What does the Bible tell us about God’s Church? What did Jesus say about what His Church is? In Matthew 16:18, Jesus tells us that “I will build My church, and the gates of Hades [the grave] shall not prevail against it.”
The true Church of God was to continue long after Jesus ascended to heaven, but what is it and how do we know? Just what was to continue?

The Mississippi River Is Drying Up

The worst drought in more than 50 years is having a devastating impact on the Mississippi River. 

The Mississippi has become very thin and very narrow, and if it keeps on dropping there is a very real possibility that all river traffic could get shut down.  And considering the fact that approximately 60 percent of our grain, 22 percent of our oil and natural gas, and andone-fifth of our coal travel down the Mississippi River, that would be absolutely crippling for our economy.  It has been estimated that if all Mississippi River traffic was stopped that it would cost the U.S. economy 300 million dollars a day.  So far most of the media coverage of this historic drought has focused on the impact that it is having on farmers and ranchers, but the health of the Mississippi River is also absolutely crucial to the economic success of this nation, and right now the Mississippi is in incredibly bad shape.  In some areas the river is already 20 feet below normal and the water is expected to continue to drop.  If we have another 12 months of weather ahead of us similar to what we have seen over the last 12 months then the mighty Mississippi is going to be a complete and total disaster zone by this time next year...

Unintended Consequences - Life, Hope & Truth

...In spite of our best efforts, we’ve all made decisions we later regretted. How many times have you looked at some choice you made in your life, considered the results and wished there were some way you could go back and choose again?
This happens so often that people call it the “Law of Unintended Consequences.” The basic idea is that it is virtually impossible to anticipate what the ultimate outcomes of our choices will be, and those outcomes are often not what we intended at all.
The Bible is a book filled with examples of people receiving unintended consequences from their decisions. In fact, the very first man and woman made a decision that led to unintended consequences very different than they imagined when they decided to exercise their power to choose for themselves.

Fukushima Chief Yoshida on Video: We must bring foreign experts in to help — Spoke like reactors not stabilized

[Fukushima boss Masao] Yoshida did use the opportunity, though, to call for foreign expertise to be brought in to help stabilize the reactors, something experts claim TEPCO and Japanese authorities have been reluctant to do on a meaningful level.
“People won’t come back to Fukushima until the plant isstabilised and we still need to find a way to do that,” he said. “We have to bring people in from around the world. It will require people, technology and wisdom from all corners.”

U.S Banks Told To Prepare For Total Collapse!

* Regulators asked five big banks to make "recovery plans"
* Banks include BofA, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs
* Plans outline asset, business sales in times of distress

U.S. regulators directed five of the country's biggest banks, including Bank of America Corp (BAC.N) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N), to develop plans for staving off collapse if they faced serious problems, emphasizing that the banks could not count on government help.
The two-year-old program, which has been largely secret until now, is in addition to the "living wills" the banks crafted to help regulators dismantle them if they actually do fail. It shows how hard regulators are working to ensure that banks have plans for worst-case scenarios and can act rationally in times of distress.

This is a Red Alert! Only exposing the fact that this is staged will make them back off.
Let’s get to work exposing the Banksters. Don’t sit around with a bunch of guns talking about some physical confrontation. We don’t want it to go to that.
The pen is mightier than the sword.  Use It!
This is not a game… it is WAR!!!
