… And I am telling it outright, the Lion of Judah is near at the gates, for how else could His Majesty’s “parousia” be made even more clear to hearts that simply do not want the truth, who simply wish to be left to live as they desire, with little or less in their way? Every time I read the propaganda originating from the mass media echo chamber of the historic Southern Kingdom I am almost to the point of shouting it out from the rooftops. The words–and their emotional context–from the top echelons of Satan’s visible earthly organization is in increasingly urgent contexts; what is more, it is what is seemingly a script written by the ancient prophets of Israel. The economy, meanwhile, is in truth congealing like Jell-O in the deep cold, and the darkness which precludes clear sight by the majority of mankind, who have found themselves at the end times exactly as Jesus warned he would find them:
(Luke 12:35-40) . . .”Let YOUR loins be girded and YOUR lamps be burning, and YOU yourselves be like men waiting for their master when he returns from the marriage, so that at his arriving and knocking they may at once open to him. Happy are those slaves whom the master on arriving finds watching! Truly I say to YOU, He will gird himself and make them recline at the table and will come alongside and minister to them. And if he arrives in the second watch, even if in the third, and finds them thus, happy are they! But know this, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have kept watching and not have let his house be broken into. YOU also, keep ready, because at an hour that YOU do not think likely the Son of man is coming.”
Clearly the issue is a lack of belief, not just a lack of faith. At least those who desire to believe “can” come to believe just as soon as they realize that it is faith that leads them to ask Jehovah for the light to really see in these dark and increasingly critical times we find ourselves. The mass media is in such a state of confused flux that one can watch the headlines change at the New York Times, for the same stories. This morning, for example, the Front Page story about Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s approach to the circumstances surrounding the latest economic recovery plan originally expressed that he, the Treasury Secretary of the federal government, had lost faith in the banking system. Did you hear that? Now the headline has been refashioned to say that the American people have lost faith in the leaders of the nation’s financial system. His job is to restore that confidence, along with the greater task–restoring the economy itself. When I saw this I rubbed my eyes and no denials as ‘cover’ will alter my testimony on this issue.
I caught the difference in the headline in between first tea and leaving for the day and arriving for a closer look. The full context of the story itself likewise appears to have been ”tweaked.” I am assuming someone got a telephone call from someone high up in the Obama Administration and this particular statue was refashioned before the clay hardened for the day, and some new clay was added as well. In response to this shifting presentation of factual uncertainties, “Geithner Details New Bank Rescue Plan,” NY Times.
“The announcement of the Treasury and Fed plans was met with a negative reaction on Wall Street. At noon, less than an hour after Mr. Geithner spoke, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 285 points, or 3.5 percent, after more modest losses in early trading.”
The propaganda machinery was concerned about “causing” more downturn in “confidence,” and went from a story that correctly portrayed national banks as being given a windfall of taxpayer dollars, which they unethically used to buy other banks and perform balance sheet functions without regard to restoring new lending, as expressly desired by the federal government, to a story that portrays those things as a “viewpoint” of the American people, one that was, perhaps, only partially true. The major minds of the New York Stock Exchange no doubt sees the difference between the stories and, while I am unable to quantify the precise changes in story text, it is a curious oddity at best to see such a headline–which historically and by journalistic convention strives to distill the story into a headline that grabs and holds the reader–transform in such a small measure of time. I am saying the headline changed, absolutely, what I believe I saw as a story also changed, and in between I am quite suspicious that someone called the New York Times publisher and gained a favor, for the sake of the economy and a new administration.
Edmund L. Andrews and Stephen Labatan would hold the keys to unlock this little tidbit and one would no doubt wonder what was in their hearts.
Nonetheless, the economy is congealing. Barack Obama meets in a region with unemployment listed at nearly 16%–the very same kind of “double digit” inflation that typically accompanies “depressions.” I did say the “D” word intentionally, didn’t I? National Public Radio had a bit of talk on that very issue yesterday and as the days move forward one will begin to hear it more and more and more, until it is unavoidable in the collective psyche of the American people. Every effort to make things look as though they could get decidedly worse and that things are still capable of salvation, with the right mix of political wisdom and consumer and investor confidences. This will continue until doing so any longer is plainly futile and the speakers of such nonsense are held as either purposefully lying or worse by a majority of those whose voices matter to the political harlot that governs over the coming catastrophe.
At least we know this much–the mass media echo chamber is unsure of what to say and that many believe that what is said has a hugely untold importance, in terms of societal confidence–in government and in any potential turnaround. We know, at least for now, that many in the higher echelons of power believe that much of the “problem” is in what the American people “believe.” I never thought that day would ever come, that what one believed was more important to governing that what conditions actually were. The whole nightmare is an illusion and if you watch it closely enough it does a sleight-of-hand right before your very eyes. for the future it will be very important to save actual text and attach time stamps to that text and the movement, in terms of substance and its face, of the story will itself start becoming he story of the day. The reason why this is so is b ecause the media truly does not know what to say. Everything looks like the American economy is a freight train that is heading for a giant wreck. The media “feels it” and knows it is so, and yet to say it will incite to panic and despair, both of which are deadly and worse to the very delicate hope that remains in the midst of the American people.
At the gates is the “thief in the night,” and our deliverance has drawn near. What we are seeing is the beginnings of the “crushing” that was long ago foretold by the prophet Daniel. (2:44) Wow! These are truly exciting times indeed. Now watch all the layoffs continue, and with it the rising tsunami of defaults that are coming, and with it bank failures by thre bushel basket.
If one did not know any better they could and would necessarily conclude that a “thief” was systematically plundering the economy. I am smiling so broadly right now I am fearful my face might crack. The Great Day is hurrying up very much indeed.
