THIS IS A GREAT DAY AND THE BEGINNING OF A GREAT WEEK!

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE - THIS IS A GREAT DAY AND THE BEGINNING OF A GREAT WEEK!  BELOW IS A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR EACH OF US FROM OUR FATHER GOD!

AUGUST 18, 2013  - You have been in a transitional phase for some time, but I tell you now that today marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.  You have had trials and tribulations, victories and defeat.  You have learned great lessons through your circumstances that will serve you well.  You've been shaken by change, dismayed at the results of poor decisions, and at times have felt at a loss for direction.  It is time to leave the past behind and step into a new day in which I will pour out wisdom.  I will direct your steps.  I will strengthen you and give you new hope, says the Lord. 

A NOTE FROM DEB IN THE FORM OF A SELF PRAYER: Here is a prayer for us to pray individually – It’s in the “I-me” tense as I feel the Father’s heart today saying let’s not forget the purpose of us being chosen in this hour to receive this blessing:

Father, I rejoice that You hold me by the hand. Your desire is to guide me into Your holy purposes. I want my life to make a difference for You. You are the One Who created me and so You know the best path for me. Your word says, “A man plans his way, but the Lord directs His steps.” I welcome You Lord to direct my steps. I want Your love to shine through my life and touch people’s hearts.

Father, give me wisdom and strength so I can minister to the needs of those around me. Help me to hear Your voice as many needs will cry out to me and I need Your loud assurance of yes or no if I am to give in that need.  Help me understand Your will versus false responsibility in meeting a need that comes before me.  I thank You for the good works You have prepared for me, and the strength I need to walk in them. Father I look to Your guiding hand and I receive Your purposes for my life.

Jesus, I have served other masters but none have given me the peace that You give. You are the Prince of Peace! I am grateful for Your Words, ‘Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.’ This blessing could cause one to fear as having the wealth given to us by Your hands, that alone is over whelming at times. I so need Your peace and I praise You for the direction of the Holy Spirit in protecting and growing Your wealth You are bestowing upon us.  Your peace is with me in times of trouble and I do not have to be fearful because You are near. I open my heart anew to receive Your peace, to let it guide me, comfort me and renew my strength.

Your Word says You will equip me in every good thing to do Your will. I rejoice in Your abundant provision. I long to see others experience the peace that I have found in You. Even as Your Word says, ‘The kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.’ Use me Lord to bring glory to Your name. Out of all this change coming, the one thing that is foremost on my heart, My prayer is that others would see my life and begin to hunger for You. In Jesus Name Amen and Selah. 

“This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; He saved him out of all his troubles.” -Psalm 34:6

A bad day for Jamie Dimon just got a lot worse

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase

Wall Street sheriff Preet Bharara directed both barrels at JPMorgan Chase on Wednesday afternoon, and he aimed his sights high.
While a news conference the U.S. attorney held ostensibly was to detail charges against two traders responsible for a $6 billion loss, there was a strong undertone of criticism straight at company CEO Jamie Dimon.
When news of the "London Whale" trade losses hit, Dimon called the matter a "tempest in a teapot."
Without mentioning him by name, Bharara said Dimon was dead wrong.

Bharara states charges to ex-JPM traders

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara addresses the charges for two former JPMorgan employees in regards to the $6 billion "London Whale" case. "This was a perfect storm of misbehavior and inadequate internal controls," he says.

(Read more: Two JPM workers charged in 'London whale' saga)
"This was not a tempest in a teapot, but rather a perfect storm of individual misconduct and inadequate internal controls," he said.
The remarks were part of blistering criticism Bharara leveled not only at the defendants but also at JPMorgan's top management.
"The difficulty inherent in precisely valuing certain kinds of financial positions does not give people a license to mislead or cover up losses," he said. "That goes double for handsomely paid executives at public companies whose actions can roil markets and upend an economy."
(Read more: 'London Whale' colleague keeps low profile in French village)
JPMorgan declined to comment on the charges.
The charges, as well as Bharara's demeanor, underscore a tough stand against the biggest of the big on Wall Street that he stated emphatically at the "Delivering Alpha" conference presented by CNBC and Institutional Investor in July.
(Read more: No one is too big to jail, Wall Street cop says)
JPMorgan, and Dimon himself, stood Wednesday as major examples.
"Capitalism works best when its participants do not lie and cheat. Capitalism works best when its biggest beneficiaries play by the same rules as everyone else," Bharara said. "That is why prosecutors need to be even more aggressive, regulators need to be even more vigilant, companies themselves need to pay close attention to the cultures they create."

I'm From The Government and Here To Help

Before you jump to a conclusion that the famous quote from Ronald Reagan is still operative, examine the sentiment of the throngs of benefit seekers who actually believe that government help is a good thing. The historically impaired reads this Reagan quip as a talking point out of the Obama playbook. Demanding your own government welfare tailored to the needs of your perceived little slice of paradise, is the new American dream. The reason why empirical evidence of a stained record and miserable failure of government programs does not resonate with the vast expanse of the great unwashed, boils down to the simple fact that the assistance deficient multitude, insist that they are owed a never ending flow of public financed payback.

BPA, phthalates tied to kids' weight, diabetes risk

Genevra Pittman 5 hours ago Health

By Genevra Pittman
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Children exposed to two chemicals commonly used in food packaging are more likely to be obese or show signs of diabetes precursors than those with lower exposure, new research suggests.
Researchers found urine levels of one type of phthalate, used to soften plastic, were tied to a higher risk of insulin resistance among teenagers. Based on data from the same large nutrition survey, another study group linked bisphenol A, or BPA - used to line aluminum cans - to obesity and larger waists in youth.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in six U.S. children and teenagers is now obese.
"Clearly unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity are the drivers of this epidemic … but increasingly environmental chemicals are being identified as possible contributors," Dr. Leonardo Trasande, a pediatrician from New York University, said.
He and his colleagues analyzed data from a nationally-representative health and nutrition survey conducted in 2003 to 2008, which included urine and blood tests for 766 adolescents aged 12 to 19.
They found urinary levels of one particular type of phthalate, known as Di-2-ethylhexylphthalate (DEHP), were closely tied to a teenager's chance of having insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes.
Just under 15 percent of study participants with the lowest one-third of DEHP levels were insulin resistant, compared to almost 22 percent of those with the highest levels.
DEHP, Trasande said, is often used to soften plastic bottles. It's used in plastic that is printed with the number 3 for recycling.
The researchers said their findings don't prove that eating food packaged with phthalates causes insulin resistance. For example, it's possible children who are already insulin-resistant have unhealthier eating habits and eat and drink more packaged products - thus the higher phthalate levels in their urine.
But Trasande told Reuters Health the chemical may influence how the body secretes insulin in response to sugar.
Because of that, he tells parents to avoid buying plastics made with DEHP.
"I advise them not to wash plastic containers in the dishwasher," he said. And, "When the plastic is clearly etched or damaged, it's time to throw it away."
MORE EVIDENCE ON BPA
For a separate study published concurrently in Pediatrics, Dr. Joyce Lee from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and her colleagues used nutrition survey data through 2010 to compare BPA levels in the urine of six- to 18-year-olds with other health measures.
In their analysis of 3,370 kids, BPA - an industrial chemical that may mimic estrogen in the body - was not linked to insulin resistance or blood sugar.
But children with higher BPA levels were more likely to be obese, and tended to have a higher waist circumference-to-height ratio, than those with the lowest levels.
A total of 18 percent of kids in the study were obese, based on CDC growth charts. Compared to children with the lowest BPA levels, the 25 percent with the highest levels were twice as likely to meet the cutoff for obesity.
The average child had 2.6 nanograms, or 2.6 billionths of a gram, of BPA in every milliliter of urine.
The findings are in line with a 2012 study that used some of the same data and also linked BPA in kids' urine to their chance of being overweight or obese, without proving a cause-and-effect relationship (see Reuters Health story of September 18, 2012 here: http://reut.rs/PDrxzL).
"That study adds further concerns to the ongoing use of BPA in food," Trasande said.
"There are a variety of chemicals used in children's products including BPA as well as other chemicals of less notoriety that our kids are exposed to on a daily basis, for which there are unknown health effects," Lee told Reuters Health in an email.

Still, one researcher cautioned that urinary levels of BPA and other chemicals may not say a lot about how much actually gets into children's blood and tissues.
"Everybody who does BPA studies uses the urine for a surrogate of exposure. It's erroneous, because the urine is purely what the person took in that day in BPA," Dr. Robert Brent from Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware, who wrote an editorial accompanying the new studies, said.
"In order to know what exposure is you have to have the blood level of the chemical," he told Reuters Health - as well as how quickly it breaks down in the blood.
Last year the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned BPA from baby bottles, but said there was not enough evidence for a more widespread ban. The FDA has not placed regulations on phthalates in food products, Trasande's team noted.

New Banking System Is A Joke

It was the same banks that packaged and sold the Sub-Prime Mortgage Investments and tied them up with a cross lateral  fancy bow.  For example, countries such as Greece held these on their balance sheets and included the income which was not guaranteed or basically didn't really exist.  When the banks sold off the sub-prime mortgage investments it separated them from the risk if the homeowners could make their payments or not. Also when Greece tried to re-negotiate interest rates on their debt, the bankers played hard ball and would not bring down the rates that would be beneficial to Greece over the long term.  Bankers didn't care if they made the deal or not for they had asset insurance with Lloyd's of London for the full value so in reality they hoped Greece would default on their debt.  I keep hearing from the Dinar Guru's encouraging everyone to have the bank pay for your asset protection insurance.  Of course they would, after they have squandered your money away by using it on their personal trading platform, you can collect the insurance and let them have another go at it.  

Now lets talk about insurance, for example in 2008 when the US Insurance Companies almost went broke depending on how much sub-prime exposure they had in their portfolios, it made me realize a few things.  Insurance companies are required to purchase bonds in order to back their promises to pay. I found it interesting that in permanent life insurance a Third Party Trust Bank is used by insurance companies for their bookkeeping of cash values. In the contracts, the cash value is guaranteed to increase every year, but the only way to access any of this cash value is in the form of a loan which compounds and accrues interest if not paid back. These rates are based on yields that follow usually the Moody's Bond Yield. So it they are required to buy bonds, where does this cash value come from that these Trust Banks create?  If you look at the financials for insurance companies you see that they invest in stocks, bonds, real estate, and only hold a small portion of cash.  It makes you go hmm doesn't it.  Also in the early 90's, the feds came in and told insurance companies that they needed to increase their reserves. Many of them did not have the capital to do so, therefore the majority of them became publicly traded which is how they raised the capital.  They now have to make short term decisions to appease stockholders rather than make long term decisions.  It was these companies that had to get the loaned TARP money just to stay in business.  AIG was forced to sell off assets which is a big part of the lawsuit they now have going with the US.

Also the Guru's are advising everyone of how important it is to open a brokerage account.You do not hold cash in a brokerage account, but rather a money market fund must exist for all cash to be swept into on a daily basis.  There are internal fees that are in money market funds.  After the market decline of 2008 and the funds were only paying a 1/10th of a penny in interest, people were losing money due to the internal fees were more than the interest being earned.  Also in the down slide of the market, we saw NAV prices drop by 4 to 6 cents per dollar in volatile times of the market.  Now lets get back to those internal fees; a lot of banks create their own proprietary money market fund, so they are making money off your funds. Or if they choose to have a contract with Fidelity for example, they are still getting some type of kick back.  Now lets talk about what Money Market Funds usually consist of, the hold "Commercial" papers, "Preferred" papers which are created by none other than banks and hedge funds and mutual fund managers.  These types of papers usually cannot be liquidated on a daily basis, but only at pre-determined auctions scheduled only a few times of the month.  And bids to buy and sale are based off of the past 30 day average yields of interest rates from some bond yield.  Once again, you see how the banks have their hands in the money market funds.

So what if a person just wanted to hold cash.  If this new money system is backed by assets and is transparent, why would we need protection insurance, brokerage accounts?  You also keep being advised to purchase multiply currencies in your brokerage account.  Why is this necessary if this new so called CIX is suppose to keep the world currencies balanced and fair in order to prevent the past from repeating itself.  I guess it could be so the banks could keep charging those transaction fees every time you converted to US money. 

Just as I posted yesterday about the FDIC, NCUA insurance being a joke as well.  It was the toxic derivatives that caused a lot of banks to go broke in 2008 and therefore the pool of insurance funds were wiped out.  It was up to all the other banks who had not taken on the risk of the sub prime mortgage derivatives in their portfolios that had to make the contributions back into the insurance pool to get it back where it needed to be. I knew of two banks that got that call and were told they would have their accounts drafted within 48 hours as their contributions to the insurance pool.  A large Texas bank was in the millions to FDIC and a tiny credit union that had only $35m in assets had to contribute over $300k to NCUA .  All it would take is ONE of the big banks to go broke to wipe out FDIC and a large credit union in a metro area to wipe out NCUA. So if contributions were being made annually by the banks, why did it get exhausted in just a few months after the market crash of 2008? There is not enough protection to go around for all account holders, it appears if there is another economic collapse, it just might be the luck of the draw!  Brokerage accounts work off of SIPC insurance and those limits vary depending on how much coverage above the minimum the firm chooses to purchase.  Firms have to purchase a membership on an exchange in order to participate in the insurance programs. What a joke!!!  There is always an agenda isn't there!!!!

So I have a few questions to the Dinar Guru's.  (1)  Are you a FINRA licensed Registered Representative?  (2) Do you have the ability to supply a prospectus for the money market account you are recommending. (3)  Do you have a Group I and P&C license in all 50 states (4) Do yo have a foreign currency license? (5) Has any of your correspondence to the public been pre-aprroved by a licensed FINRA principal?  I am amazed at how none of you have been arrested, that is what really makes me go hmm the most!!!!!!  Who is letting you go rogue with your information is what I would like to know.  If we are suppose to be operating under this NEW COMMON LAW SYSTEM of self responsibility & liability you people need to look out for your are not guiding the people in the right direction.  For some of you, now may be the time to ask yourself if someone could possibly be using you as their patsy in this great scheme of things.

The markets last week were a real eye opener to this NEW TRANSPARENT SYSTEM, it was not difficult to see the manipulation still continues in the precious metals, stock and bond markets. Everyone has an agenda for what I can see, except it sure isn't about "We The People". It is apparent to me that it is just a new day, but with the same old bull shit!!!

GLOBAL FINANCIAL RESET UNDERWAY

Dr. William Mount

GLOBAL FINANCIAL RESET UNDERWAY

Sun Aug 18, 2013 15:05

I just spoke with a person who is very reliable and they stated the Global Financial Reset is currently under way.

What this means to you and me is as follows:

1) Prices will begin to rise - inflation.

2) Interest Rates will now climb.

3) Metals will begin their climb back to normal prices - Copper, Gold and Silver.

4) A new dollar is set to come forward in Mid-October.

5) Welfare will be severely cut.

6) Huge Govt layoffs and no on in private Industry is stupid enough to hire these ex-Govt employees.

7) The reset in Iraq has already occurred and will be made public soon.

8) We may get our Great Republic back.

Apparently when we exposed this $80 Trillion is stolen funds it set in motion a series of changes worldwide.

These Bankstas will either co-operate with this reset or end up dead - so I have been told. This means the $80 Trillion goes away along with the $15 Trillion still sitting in the Royal Bank of Scotland sucking Europe dry on the overnight MTN market.

There is a plan afoot by the Rockefeller's to terminate 100 World President's and Kings and replace them with doubles to regain their overwhelming economic power - we shall see what will happen.

There is also a plan to release the MERS CORONA virus in the DC area beginning around 1 Oct - it kills the Brown Eyed people. This would explain the World Health Organization's Emergency Meeting demanding a MERS CORONA vaccination by 1 Oct.

There is also a plan in place to turn off the World Wide Grid 28 Sep 2013. That will be fun, thank you David Rothchild.

Please see the film on You Tube:

URGENT!!!POSSIBLE EMERGENCY ALERT FOR FEMA REGION 3.

When I posted this earlier here my computer died - so this South Dakota Senator must be right on.
-------------------------------------------------------
For you Intel Geeks:

1) Obama Assassination Attempts: 17 Aug, 28 Sep and 5 Nov.

2) I wish I lived in an area where I could give you more info on this but those in the FBI who stole my investments apparently want Mr Obama dead. You know what though - who cares if Obama dies - who really cares.....The Secret service apparently does not so who really cares?

3) US Treasury and Dragon Societies: When GOD says something it occurs. If I am NOT paid for what I have done in accordance with both US Treasury Regulations and VA Regulations then your Monetary Exchange will fail and the dreaded Nuclear War will begin.

Does GOD make himself perfectly clear US Treasury Directors and Dragon Society Leaders?

No games here. It is what it is.

Please just pray for America.

It’s Official: 2012 Deficit Was $1.087T; $1T+ All 4 Yrs of Obama’s 1st Term

by Terence P. Jeffrey, CNS News:

The Congressional Budget Office last week released updated historical budget data for the federal government, reporting a deficit of $1.087 trillion in fiscal 2012.

2012 marked the fourth straight year—and the only four years in the history of the nation–when the federal government’s deficit topped $1 trillion.
Last year’s $1.087 trillion deficit was even greater in inflation-adjusted dollars than the peak World War II deficit of fiscal 1943—which was $54.554 billion in 1943 dollars and $723.8714 billion in 2012 dollars, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics online inflation calculator.
