COMMENTARY & OPINION
ALERT


Greetings friends around the world:

We have known it was coming --- now it's here.  The crash has been held off for the past two years by massive amounts of money being printed and $60 billion monthly is going to keep the "Dow-Jones balloon" aloft.   Now, it appears that China is making a final offer after which the rug will be pulled from under dollar dependency. 

I suggest you read carefully the following two articles and ponder them at length.  And brace for the worst.  \

Benjamin Fulford: “Federal Reserve Board and US Dollar will be Hit by financial Armageddon if Asian Gold Offer Refused”

Monday, April 11, 2016 22:29



“The Asian Dragon Family has offered the owners of the Federal Reserve Board staggering quantities of gold at a 13% discount from the market price… 10% of this money to be spent on a massive campaign to end poverty, stop environmental destruction and send humanity on a path for exponential expansion into the universe.

The ball is now in the court of the US regime in Washington DC. That is why the US President and Vice President were having an emergency meeting on April 11 with Federal Reserve Board Chairperson Janet Yellen. A member of the Dragon family will also be at that meeting, CIA sources in Asia say.

“If the Feds refuse… BRICS nations and the Europeans will announce a new international gold backed currency that can be exchanged for US dollars during a three month period. After that period, the US dollar will no longer be accepted by at least 188 countries, leaving the Washington regime isolated and bankrupt.


After Emergency Federal Reserve Meeting Today, Obama and Biden to Meet with Yellen! Rumor: Martial Law Discussions for Banking Failure

Monday, April 11, 2016 5:24



UPDATE:


RUMORS swirling say “Martial Law discussions over a banking system failure.” are the reason President Obama and Vice President Biden are to meet with Fed. Chair Janet Yellen today after the Federal Reserve’s Emergency Meeting this morning.  In the history of the United States, it has never before taken place that both the President AND Vice President meet “unexpectedly” with the Federal Reserve.  Speculation is already flowing all over Washington, DC that it may have something to do with “the survival of the government.”

Members of the House and Senate are said to have been “up all night” in discussions and meetings; with floods of phone calls back and forth. 

More:  Tuesday and Wednesday the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meet in DC and on Thursday the IMF and World Bank meet in DC as well.

All the leading bankers in the world will be in DC this week.

Something wicked this way comes and it is coming very, very soon; within days we suspect.

Next Tuesday: The Chinese are scheduled to announce their switch from dollar to yuan on Tuesday, April 19th; which will send about two TRILLION in cash back to the US and send inflation skyrocketing overnight.

If you are not prepared, you have run out of time.

You need to have emergency cash to live on in case banks close for a couple weeks and shut down credit, debit cards and ATM’s;  not cash to pay your bills, but rather cash to SURVIVE with for food, fuel, medicine.

Stores may have to close, so you’d better have food,  the shelf-stable type that doesn’t go bad:  50lb Bag(s) of rice, Boxes of various Pasta, canned meats, jarred sauces.  Butter, sugar, salt etc.  Enough to survive for awhile just in case.

More details if and when they become available. 

While today’s Expedited meeting of the federal reserve was called last Thursday, over the weekend astonishing banking developments took place in Europe.

Austria became the first European nation to utilize the new “Bail-in” regulations, seizing 54% of Senior Bondholders stock value to pay the bad debts of Hypo Alpe Adria bank / the Heta Asset Resolution AG.  While senior bond holders were considered “preferred” creditors and got 46% of their investment covered, Depositors were considered “subordinated” creditors and got: NOTHING!  Citizens were left broke.

Five hours later, the Finance Minister of Italy called an Emergency Meeting of Italian Bankers in Rome to engage what he called a “last resort” to deal with 360 Billion in bad loans against banks with only 50 Billion in Capital. 


It appears an actual worldwide banking crisis is lIterally within view on the horizon and this week seems to be when all of it may come to ahead.  Perhaps that’s why the Finance Ministers of the G-20 nations will meet in Washington Tuesday and Wednesday, and then on Thursday, the World Bank and IMF will meet in Washington.

With every major banker in the world meeting in Washington this week, something is surely “up,” and many people are starting to think the general public is about to get “hosed.”

Ramey comments:

You read in the last Commentary what the "Astonishing developments" in Europe were this past Sunday.  Now it would seem the "gloves are off and events are about to develop at warp speed.  I said recently, "This could be the most significant Passover since the crucifixion",  and this seems to underscore that statement.

If possible, try to have a month's supply of food on hand and some cash.  And heed the scriptural admonition to, "Go into your inner chamber and close the door until the tempest be overpast..."  Do not be among those rioting in the streets! 


What the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Must Tell the Nation

By Ray Starmann

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, in concern for the lives of current and future US military personnel and to honor those who have gone before, I must speak to the nation today.

I’ve called this press conference to announce that I am resigning as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and I am retiring after 39 years on active duty, which included combat service in Iraq leading the finest Marines in the world.

I am resigning as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and retiring from the Marine Corps for the following reasons:

For the last seven years during the Obama Administration:

I have watched and remained silent as hundreds of senior officers were forced to resign or were forcibly retired because of their disagreements with the current policies wrecking the military.

I have watched and remained silent as people who have never served a day in uniform laid siege to the glorious traditions of the US military.

I have watched and remained silent as male ROTC cadets paraded in red high heels, male soldiers conducted physical training wearing pregnancy simulators, combat units dealt with breastfeeding and lactation issues in the field and sensitivity training became the standard operating procedure of the US military.

I have watched and remained silent as trans-genders were authorized to serve in the ranks, and three females graduated from the US Army Ranger School, under what I believe are the most dubious of circumstances.

My predecessors in the JCS chose to look the other way, and like Pontius Pilate, wash their hands of these egregious affairs.

My predecessors in the JCS were more concerned about their careers than about the welfare of the nation and the troops they led every day.

Now the final nail in the coffin of the US military has been hammered in. On April 1, 2016, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, with the full backing of the President of the United States, authorized the legal inclusion of women in the combat arms branches and special operations units of the United States Armed Forces.

In good conscience, I can no longer remain silent. The stakes are too high for this nation and for the women in the US military who, I believe will be greatly harmed by their inclusion in the combat arms and special operations.

I can no longer watch the US military be annihilated. While many have chosen to sit on the sidelines, I must step forth and report to the nation concerning the mortal danger the US military is in tonight because of its commander in chief, President Barack Obama and his cabinet and advisers.

The evidence against women in direct combat from the Center for Military Readiness and the Marine Corps’ 36 million dollar, 9 month study and the performance of women at the Marine Infantry Officers Basic Course is overwhelming. Yet, the President, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of the Army refuse to acknowledge that the evidence even exists.

It does exist and it indicates that while women perform spectacularly in 80% of the jobs in the military, the combat arms and special operations should be closed to them; permanently.

Women are simply prone to more injuries than men, have less muscle mass, do not have the upper body strength, the same aerobic lung capacity and the aggressiveness to fulfill the military’s combat readiness requirements and missions.

The so-called experts often say that women have already served in combat. In the last two conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, females did engage the enemy and many performed heroically and beyond the call of duty. But, returning fire during a military police security operation is not the same as being in a combat arms unit that has the mission of finding, fixing and killing the enemy. That is like comparing Pop Warner Football with the NFL.

Reality says that women serving in the combat arms and special operations is not just a bad idea, but a horrific decision that puts this nation in mortal danger.

The President and the Secretary of Defense are not dealing with reality, but with a feminist based fantasy based on false premises of gender neutrality. They see the world the way they want it to be, not the way it is. These policies are based on the illusion that genders are neutral and that none of this will affect the military’s readiness, esprit de corps and ability to wage and win wars.

There is no gender neutrality on a battlefield.

It is the responsibility of America’s military leaders to protect the nation and to obey the lawful orders of those appointed above us. But, our military leaders are not martinets. There is no Fuehrerprinzip in America. An order is not just an order. The nation’s military leaders have a moral duty to inform our elected officials when policies they support and implement are destructive to the nation itself.

Silence is not golden. It is pure and unadulterated moral cowardice.

Congress also has a duty to protect the nation and to insure that the military is strong and readiness is maintained. On the issue of women in combat, Congress has been full of sound and fury, while signifying nothing. Except for a few concerned veterans like Senator John McCain and Congressman Duncan Hunter, Congress has remained silent because a majority of Congress has never served and is largely ignorant of the issue itself.

I cannot in good conscience promote policies that will order American women, ages 18 – 26 to register and be eligible for a military draft which could place them in combat arms units in wartime.

I cannot in good conscience serve as the highest ranking military member of the US military, when I am completely at odds with the social engineering directives emanating from the Secretary of Defense and the President.

The military has one sole mission. That is to wage war and to vanquish the enemies of this nation on land, on the seas and in the air. It must never be used as a social engineering project by naïve and uninformed politicians and lobbyists.

As the military prepares for this cataclysmic change, the enemies of this nation are lining up against us. They know that this is a lose, lose situation for us and a win, win situation for them. They know that we are now going to wage war with a much weaker force and that our readiness is withering by the hour.

It is very possible that the United States of America may never win another war. I do not believe this is hyperbole. I believe this is a fact.

The fate of the republic hangs in mortal jeopardy. I pray that my successor and a new President elected in 2016 have the courage and the wisdom to amend the policies that might very well destroy this great nation I have served for nearly four decades.

I bid you farewell. Semper Fi. 


Ramey comments: 

Are we witnessing the coup de grace of a tyrant sworn to the destruction of the greatest nation in all of recorded history? Do you really believe the replacement of this JCS and a new president is going to rectify the situation?  Or are we truly the "Babylon" that I have shown you that is so perfectly described by the prophet Habakkuk and is our fate already locked in as chapter 3 and Revelation 18 appear to say?
