The Last Days Of 'Normal Life' In America
Submitted by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,
If you have got family and friends that you would like to visit before things start getting really crazy, you should do so within the next couple of months, because these are the last days of “normal life” in America. The website where I have posted this article is called “End of the American Dream“, but perhaps I should have entitled it “The End of America” because that is essentially what we are heading for. The debt-fueled prosperity that so many of us take for granted is about to come to a screeching halt, and we are about to enter the hardest times that any of us have ever known. And I am not just talking about economics either. Based on all of the intel and information that I have gathered, we are about to enter a “perfect storm” that is going to shake this country in just about every possible way that it can be shaken. So I hope that you will truly savor this summer – days like this will not come around again any time soon.
Have you ever known someone that lived a seemingly charmed life even though that individual made foolish decision after foolish decision?
In the end, reality almost always catches up with people like that.
And in so many ways, we have been living a charmed life as a nation even though we have been making incredibly foolish decisions for decades. We have cursed ourselves over and over again, and just about every form of evil that you can possibly imagine is exploding all around us. As a nation, we now stand for just about everything that is foul, disgusting and wicked, and the rest of the world is absolutely horrified by what has happened to us.
Once upon a time, we were one of the most loved nations on the entire planet.
Now we are one of the most hated.
The things that we have been doing to ourselves and to other countries are about to catch up with us in a major way. We thought that we were getting away with everything that we were doing, but that was never the case. When you do evil, there is always a price to pay.
Over the past few weeks, some very strange things have begun to happen. And in the months ahead, we are going to see some more unusual events. But to be honest, this is just the tip of the iceberg. For now, you are just going to have to trust me on this one.
If my tone sounds ominous, that is good, because that is precisely the mood that I am trying to convey. Right now, there are major things going on behind the scenes, and all of our comfortable little lives are about to get shaken up big time.
I have often written about the global elite and about how they like to go about doing things. Throughout history, they have always liked to create order out of chaos. In other words, they will often purposely create a crisis in order to push through things that they would not be able to accomplish during “normal” times.
I believe that we are about to enter one of those periods of time. The problems that we are about to experience are going to be used to justify radical “solutions” that will further the overall agenda of the elite. But because we will be in the middle of an “emergency”, a lot of people will choose to go along with those solutions.
Sadly, most people don’t understand how the world works because they are so consumed with other things. We live in a society that is absolutely addicted to entertainment. Just recently, I wrote about how the average American spends more than 10 hours a day plugged in to some form of media. If we are not watching television, we are listening to the radio, going to movies, playing video games, messing with our smartphones or spending endless hours on the Internet. And more than 90 percent of the “programming” that we are fed through these devices is produced by just 6 absolutely gigantic media corporations.
And who controls those gigantic media corporations?
The elite do.
And have you noticed how “the mainstream media” loves to divide us?
Today, Americans are more divided than ever it seems. Our news broadcasts endlessly fixate on “black vs. white”, “male vs. female”, “liberal vs. conservative”, “rich vs. poor”, etc, etc.
Americans are extremely angry and frustrated at this point, but most of our anger and frustration is directed at one another.
How can we ever hope to come up with any solutions for our nation if we spend so much time hating our fellow citizens?
But this is just how the elite like it.
They love to play divide and conquer. If we were united, we would be far more difficult to manipulate.
And even if we did find a way to come together, what values and principles would we use to rebuild this nation?
The truth is that most Americans deeply reject the values and principles that the founders of this country once held so dear.
Personally, I am very optimistic about the future. My wife and I believe that the greatest chapters of our lives are still ahead of us.
But am I optimistic about the future of the United States?
No, I am not.
Perhaps you are reading this and you have come to the conclusion that I am being irrationally negative. If so, you are probably spending way too much time plugged in to the “propaganda matrix” that I described above. The establishment wants you to believe that everything is going to be just fine and that the best days for this world are ahead.
If you think that I am wrong, I challenge you to bookmark this page. Then, after some time has passed, come back and revisit what I had to say today.
I believe that you will be quite shocked by how your perspective has changed.
The last half of this year (2015) is going to represent a major turning point, and we are moving into hard times unlike anything that America has ever seen before.
Unfortunately, most of the “sheeple” are going to be completely blindsided by what is coming. They just continue to follow their utterly clueless leaders down a path toward oblivion.
But the good news is that once the “shaking” starts, many of these “sheeple” will begin to wake up.
When that happens, who will those “sheeple” turn to for answers?

THE END IS NEAR
nearer
well, its damned close
My daily need for fear porn has been satisfied. So what are these "strange things" going on that haven't been going on for the last 7 years? At least this guy has gone out on a limb and dated the collapse. If we aren't all hiding in our basements by Christmas, I can write him off on any future predictions.
oh, you can write him off on Halloween
I actually pray that you are right.
Marty Armstrong says its 10 1 2015.
I guess all these other oracles read his site and copy his forecasts.
If you actually knew my theory, you wouldn't pray for that.
Dating The Collapse? Suppose we will all embrace her one way or another. I hear she gets around.
Oww my balls!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-1??? Jooos don't like idiocracy?
4TH TurNinG................biTCHZ !111111
I can follow most of the market/financial argumentation, but when the "end of days" Christian bullshit comes into it, that is just too much. 1 - Christians should just not talk about things in rabinical traditions they dont understand, 2 - you think because some gay whore-hanger-arounder came back from the dead and his but buddies wrote some shit down about it all drunk on spunk, that is means you can read the markets with it. Come-the-fuck-on. Stick to the math and leave the gay-cave-whore-rape-savior-shit out of it.
I am just pulling out the tape measurer to see the size of the line that you just crossed. You have the right to be an athiest. But, even Carlin would not have couched your sentiments in those terms.
Yeah, sort of like believing in an old, white bearded guy who lives in the sky.
FYI God has never been described as some old white bearded guy in the sky anywhere in the Bible. You can put that one and most other ridiculous nonsensical things made up about our Creator on the backs of humans who for some reason despise the one that created them and died for their tresspasses.
enter the religous matrix and you to can become a believer. lots of beliefs to bandy about.
and when you exit you will look back and see the truth... trust me, ha...
Lets just be honest here.
We can fear Obama or Hitlery or Putin or some wicked Muslim, but the one thing that scares the living shit out of everybody is the thought that there may be a God. We rant endlessly about our phones and computers being monitored, but the thought that a God may be watching and listening to everything we say, do and THINK is petrifying. And if he turns out to be an angry God, as has been warned when end of times might come.no amount of prepping will do.
Most folks kind of believe in God, but not enough to go to church or even pray. Just enough to worry a little, especially with what we see coming.
Most don't believe in Evil, only in evil people. When we hear that there is a large contingent of Muslims that simply want us dead, we don't know how to process that. We want to believe in rationality, that they can be appeased or bought off. But Evil exists and its a lot more prevalent than just radical Islamists.
Maybe I need to buy a Bible???
The time for judgment is soon.
You don't need to buy a Bible, it is available, online, in nearly every version, for free, here:
biblegateway.com
AND
biblehub.com
Only one way to salvation- put your faith in Jesus Christ:
There are numerous Scriptures to cite- but I'll start with just one for each point:
All have sinned against God.- "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.: -Romans 3:23
God tells us where sin leads- "For the wages of sin is death." -Romans 6:23
The wonderful news of the Bible is that Jesus died for us, was buried, and rose again to pay the penalty for our sin- "But God showed His love for us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8
Now, here is what God wants us to do- "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." - Romans 10:13
Now, say a prayer, like this:
"Dear Lord, I know that I am a sinner, I know that Jesus died for me. I repent of my sins, please forgive me of my sins, come into my heart and save me. In Jesus name, amen."
5- Partake of the symbols of His sacrifice- the bread and the wine -John 6:53
That's it. Afterwards, one should make public declaration of faith in Christ, and get baptized through full water immersion.
At that point- the Holy Spirit will dwell in you.
Pray to God, study the Bible- put it's teachings into practice in your life. Start with the New Taestament- Matthew, and read, carefully, meditating on it- through Revelation. Read some everyday. Pray everyday, frequently. You will be blessed as you see God's power in your life, and your relationships with others.
You do not need to buy a bible. They are free. Just go to any motel and stay the night...and presto! Kidding.....the Holy Spirit is the only thing one needs. I am sure He walks with you already.
Often times people confuse being a bible thumper with being a believer. Believers are generally less aggresive and much more believable...if that is not being too redundant.
I am no Seek Truth.....who just happens to be the finest poster regarding Christianity here, IMO. All I can tell you is that once you find the Spirit it will never leave. Never. One can call it what you want. Finding the spirit in adult life is one of the greatest joys a human can have. It will rock you to your foundation. You DO NOT have to become a bible thumper. You can continue to fuck up and make mistakes. You can enjoy life's treasures and set backs. However, you will never be alone.
Absolutely agree with this. Having been raised Anglican I have a foundation in Christianity. However the more mystical side of the church had more appeal. The liturgical, spiritual and contemplative aspects taken together made knowing the Devine more experiential for me than simply reading scriptures. There are numerous paths to find God. Delving into Buddhism and yoga revealed even more facets of His loving presence. The serenity and peace is indescribable.
Be still and know I am. Joy is the infallible truth of the presence of God.
Miffed
I think we experience God in the same way. I am much more of a show me kinda guy and that is what I usually end up getting. Not always for the good and not always for the bad.
didn't you ever take a hit of lsd. when they say it expands your mind, they weren't kidding. the problems come when you try to fill the expanded mind with your self.
That would be momentum in non physical space.
I have seen similar language here applied to the other side of the debate, so what's good for the gander is acceptable for the goose.
Not all non-Christians are atheists. I am a very devout Druid. And I agree that 99% of the fools spouting apocalyptics from the Jewish scriptures haven't the faintest idea what they're talking about. Druids STUDY ancient history.
Scriptures are Jewish? You are one without faintest clue...ignorant
Scriptures are Jewish?
NO!
'Scriptures' are DRUISH!
They originate from the planet Druidia!

Maybe it would be helpful to study something more contemporary? Or do you just enjoy the hooded robes?
Maybe it's the human entrail wrapped poles he likes. If all these self proscribed pagans ever truly followed their chosen "faith" there would be a lot less of them at least.
Yeah no shit. Y'all better hope Odin doesn't come back and put Jesus in Blood Eagle while cranking Amon Amarth.
If pagans followed their beliefs, I believe the pacifist God and his followers would soon be no more. The coming dark age will be the time when these ancient and bloody religions make their comeback.
Me, I'm going Norse. I like the idea of a bad ass warrior God and find that easier to worship than a cheek turning pacifist. That said, I will always love the story about Jesus whipping the money changers out of the temple. Of course that action is what led to his death -- can't piss off the money-changers. If they had nail guns back then he'd have gotten nailed.
And to think Jesus when hanging on the cross for YOUR SINS said "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do". He was talking about you bub.
I say fuck christianity, and fuck their monotheistic "god" who endorses incredible acts of barbarity and cruelity in "his" name.
So when do we begin burning the unbelievers and heretics at the stake again?
Fucking self-righteous "christians" can suck a wet sloppy turd out of my ass.
Just try to justify extreme acts of violence against me and mine in the name of your fucking "god" and see what happens, fuckface.
endorses? is that what you call it? you are mixing up what God says about Himself in the Bible and what people do in His name. Huge difference. If you see someone spending time, money and energy helping the homeless and those less fortunate, that's someone that's a disciple of Jesus. if you see someone trying to rip people off of their money using God as the manipulator, that's not Him.
You'll see what happens, soon enough:
"Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly." - 2 Peter 3:3-7
potty mouth goat
Go fuck a goat.
Jesus, how rude :)
I hear you man, but mocking others firmly held belief system serves no purpose but to further divide us. Mocking religion is not for reasonable adults, just ignore it unless they are trying to make decisions about your life... Then tell them to GTFO. Chances are those "believers" will be better confederates when the time comes then the atheists will be. Just my 2 cents.
.
disruptivepatternmaterial,
You are a Pharisaical, Talmud spewing, Satan worshipper. You'll get your comeuppance, soon:
"I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars--I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you." - Revelation 3:9
I'll sell the solution/algorythm to the downed economy, and destroyed Global Economics, for $30 trillion in physical gold bullion if I am paid in one lump sum payment. This is not a negotiation. Pay up, or be destroyed, it don't matter to me either way, Wall Street, you old whore.
While nothing is for certain except death and taxes, the odds of this article being spot on are looking good....more than 50/50...
Yeah, I'm thinking something around 70/59........
You be doing Obama math there.
You guys are crazy. The dream is alive and well. Everywhere things are becoming better. Things are becoming merrier.

i have felt the same way every year since 2008 but the whold terra cotta toothed mouth breathing morons around me just go about in their oblivious bleating sheep state, and the whole world just keeps humpity, humping, along.
the middle class non government worker will be erased from whats left of this pathetic shithole of a country all of their work, sacrifice, gone, fed to the mongrel horde until there is no middle class. no small business, no wealth creation, no god, no institutions, no honor, no character, just a steaming churning pile of muck.
you might as well get used to 8 more years of hillary.
Time to humans is nothing compared to God. He put it best so I might as well cut and paste from 1 Peter.
"Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare."
“What you seek you shall never find.
For when the Gods made man,
They kept immortality to themselves.
Fill your belly.
Day and night make merry.
Let Days be full of joy.
Love the child who holds your hand.
Let your wife delight in your embrace.
For these alone are the concerns of man.”

Seriously folks , dont forget to put back motor oil filters belts etc, get a bunch of stp oil treatment or the like , you can put a magnant in a can let old oil set a long while and put that in and reuse , get new battery s tires now if time.
jeez, just go down the street and take the sheeps car that just had new michelins put on it. whats he gonna do bleat? or if you don't have the stones for that, trade him a roll of toilet paper for it.
If we can't change it, then I say
EMBRACE THE HORROR!
I think this works for most of us here as we have been predicting, anticipating, hoping and wishing for the end for years. Of course as they always say, be careful of what you wish for. The reality is that if things really do unwind, we have no idea of how bad it could get. Society has never existed this high up on the ladder of technology to have a sense of how far the fall will be. We are so absolutely dependent upon EVERYTHING that we will beg Satan himself to care for us as 90% of Americans have no skills for survival at all. Even with the massive amount of guns, I seriously doubt that many could actually defend themselves with one.
Personally I think it will be composite of ever horror and disaster film combined. Zombies, earthquakes, fires, aliens, mass murderers and used car salesman.
Mike.. I think you could be described as a "prophet of doom"...so what do you think... on what day of 2015 should I go "bigtime" in shorting the stock market?
I understand the difficulties of prediction, especially relative to timing, but what would be more interesting is actual solutions. Predictions of doom are kind of meaningless. I mean is it going to be something like "worse since Lehman"?
I have images in my own mind...but then again, I might be nuts. ZH may not be the best place for comparative judgements on that subject.
When you do this big short, will your counter party be solvent enough to pay off?
promises, promises ...
So, care to enlighten us about what you're expecting, or is this just the come-on for yet another end-of-the-world investment swindle? FACTS, please. Specifics. Your average gypsy fortune-teller could be more definitive.
Wake me when it's over.
I have been hearing this doomsday shit EVERY year since 1980,,,,fuck off asshole!
exactly fuck off asshole ^^^^
Yes, we know all that. We have been living with that for years. "It" is very much over due. A lot of folks are saying "this fall." We shall see.
When that happens, who will those “sheeple” turn to for answers?
A: Someone who will combine a mesmerizing personality with all kinds of free shit. Anyone who gets in the way will be destroyed.
Solution. Get the fuck out of the way. America is a runaway bulldozer headed straight for destruction. What the new Hitler doesn't know won't hurt him/her/it.
umm
How about a Negro community organizer from Chicago?Just suggestin'
Laugh it off people but this country is under serious judgement. Turning your back on your Creator doesn't get you very far in life. Do we think killing 50+ million innocents in the womb and saying same sex marriage is ok isn't going to bring judgement. You flip the bird to God and you get the talons. For those who are up on the Bible it wasn't until Sodom and Gromorrah's leaders sanctioned homosexuality and other perversions did judgement come. It's coming for sure the timing and severity is always the question.
"Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to the law of the Lord.
Blessed are those who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart—
they do no wrong
but follow his ways" - Psalm 119:1-3
"But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear." - Isaiah 59:2
I'm only laughing at you.
Your tragic use and oft quotation of a Satanic, New Age, and copyrighted "translation" paint a picture of a sad sack going after a dragon armed with a butter knife.
Throw that piece of crap in the garbage where it rightly belongs, get yourself the AV 1611 - that's God's Word, kiddo - READ IT, and then get back to us when you really KNOW something.
Silly rabbit...
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”c
20Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength." - 1 Corintihans 1
Lin S,
You one trick pony you:
You couldn't be more wrong.
The King James 1611 version has more than 10,000 errors in translation.
Read up:
http://watch.pair.com/TR-kjv-issues.html
https://bible.org/article/why-i-do-not-think-king-james-bible-best-trans...
http://www.theology.edu/journal/volume1/tr.htm
http://www.bible.ca/b-kjv-only.htm
For starters.
And, you can take a look at the original Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew to easily see that the KJV 1611 is full of errors. Any Interlinear version indisputably proves this. The earliest papyri and manuscripts hadn't even been discovered or published by 1611. We now have papyri from the first and second centuries, that predate the MSS which were used in 1611.Here's a free online interlinear version that allows you to see the original koine greek, aramaic, and hebrew texts for yourself: http://biblehub.com/interlinear/1_corinthians/6-9.htm
I read koine greek, aramiac, and ancient hebrew, do you? I thought not. I have read the earliest manuscripts, in their original languages.
You are a repetitive, pompous windbag that has been repeatedly shown that you are wrong- but you continue in your willful ignorance.
PS- King James was likely, from all contemporary accounts, a fop and a dandy- a homosexual. Now, what were you saying about Satan's influence?
PPS- Here's the 1611 KJV rendering of John 3:16: "¶ For God so loued þe world, that he gaue his only begotten Sonne: that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life." Would you like to enlighten us on how that is superior to any quote from a contemporary version? You are willfully ignorant.
AND YOU ARE A TROLL.
Dear Headcase,
Oh look, I said it all.
Lin S,
Here is the same quote that Rikky quoted, but from the 1611 King James Version:
"For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and wil bring to nothing the vnderstanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisedome of this world?
21 For after that, in the wisedom of God, the world by wisedome knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishnesse of preaching, to saue them that beleeue.
22 For the Iewes require a signe, and the Greekes seeke after wisedome.
23 But wee preach Christ crucified, vnto the Iewes a stumbling block, and vnto the Greekes, foolishnesse:
24 But vnto them which are called, both Iewes and Greekes, Christ, the power of God, & the wisedome of God.
25 Because the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men: and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men.
http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1611-Bible/
NOW- CARE TO ENLIGHTEN ALL OF US ON THE SO-CALLED "SUPERIORITY" OF THAT QUOTE YOU 1611 KJV FETISHIST?
I'M CALLING YOU OUT, "Lin S"- PUT UP OR SHUT UP!
I KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOU, TROLL.
YOU HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED ON YOUR UTTERLY FALSE ASSERTION MANY TIMES BEFORE, AND IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME RESPONSE:
<CRICKETS>
Odin, Allah, and the Buddha approve of this message.
Seems only appropriate to include some Greek gods here too (Apollo, Zeus, Aphrodite...)
That is not a bad list of rules. Covers a lot. Good reasons for them all. They are things I don't want done to me, they maintain the social order and help uphold trust in a community. Also upholds the system itself as something to be regarded as sacred. Let Wall Street get a load of that one, eh?
Where does it say Gay is a problem? I know there is a bible verse somewhere about not spilling your seed, but I think that is masturbation. If a man's penis is not hurting anyone, what does it matter if it goes into another man? If a woman's tounge/fingers penetrate another woman's body, why does God care?
Seriously. I respect the kind of Christians who live it, not just mouth it, very much. The same for many religions.
Why does God care to "hate" gays.
Where does it say Gay is a problem?
Leviticus.
"If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them."
What is the logic against it is my real question. Why would God single this out?
Many folks say the new testament supplants the old one BTW. Jesus was a little less freaked out by this stuff.
My interpretation would be that it serves no creative purpose, is not an act of love, does not contribute to a family or community, and is only condemnation of oneself into the sin of flesh.
I can't say that it spells this out anywhere in these terms, but the Bible does hold family values, creation, love, temperance, and humility as a moral purpose.
Sexual acts with no creative purpose are almost always self-destructive, and homosexual acts fall into this category by their very nature.
Hozabout all them hets that be mondosexodestructive? And them that don't take responsibility for their "creation"? Who are you to say that gay don't express and feel agape love in concert with their eros love? A world unto yourself, perhaps?
I have this sweet dog and love her dearly, but she insists on eating poop. I still love her but for the life of me I can't get past the poop eating. I don't think it is natural and I don't think it is healthy, but now you make me feel like a hater, like a poopaphobe because I'm constantly admonishing her for it.
Seriously, my guess is that if God truly does "hate" gays, it is because everything about God seems to be centered around procreation...go forth and multiply, and fudge packing just ain't getting it done.
If you were to build a computer and everything 20th time you booted it up it crashed, would that endear it to you or just piss you off?
As Humans we individually have no reason to hate anyone unless they are doing unto us some harm. God, as the "Creator", probably has a different perspective.
MsCreant,
The resurrected Jesus Christ appeared to a persecutor of the Christians, named Saul of Tarsus.
Jesus changed Saul's name to Paul.
This is what Saint Paul wrote:
"Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Note that, just like all the others sins mentioned, homosexuality can be forgiven- "that is what some of you were."
But those who continue in any of these sins, as this Scripture states, "will not inherit the kingdom of God."
Here is another quote from the New Testament, regarding both male and female homosexuals:
"They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved." - Romans 1:25-27
Note that the last verse appears to have predicted AIDS and other VD would be rampant among homosexuals- which it certainly is, in far higher percenatges than heterosexuals: http://www.returnofkings.com/3882/the-truth-about-aids
PS- Saint Paul wrote 14 of the books of the New Testament- more than half of the 27 books in it.
Dreamin Pauls. Now that's the touchsthone of authenticity right there.
Ms, It's still a great list. All of the items are even 'Darwin approved', so to speak, for advancement of society and the human species.The gay haters are in the old Testament Jewish Bibile, the Talmud. The jews want to make Christians as intolerant but they are the ones who have some splaning to do. The New Testament does no such thing.
Nonetheless, the arguement for the gay agenda is still not reat:
1. 35-40% of gay men say there were molested or anally raped when they were little boys.
2. this group also forms the next generation of the pedaphile predators pool which molests at childredn at rate 4000% higher rate than heterosexual males. The gays are both victims and predators adn this dispels the 'gene theory' of homosexuality. Early childhood indoctrination is common.
3. heterosexual men were only molested at a 4% rate as boys by gay men
4. 40,000 gays die annually in the USA due to AIDS. 40% of those are children under the age of 13yo. Cost is around $300,000/ year/ea patients diagnosed, the rest out still out spreading it.
5. Homosexuals have 40 % more serious mental health issues.
6. homosexuals openly advocate to have sex wth children.
7. 40% of all serial killers are homosexuals with a pediphile fetish -- Gacy, Dahmer, Juan Corona, etc... When you see a picture of a litle boy on a milk carton he is not missing because of his lunch money.
Homosexuality is not a victimless activity. You can't spit in any direction and not find the victims of the agenda hurting people everywhere. It hurt Jerry Sandusky's kids and it hurt Jimmy seville's kids. Where is the outrage in the gay community for these pedophiles among them? Never a response... ever.
So this is a messed up demographic of anal eaters and an epidemic of child molestations and rapes going on in our public schools systen that is 2000% greater than any Catholic problem ever was. 2500 public school molestation cases are reported per year, minimum.
I have worked on AIDS patients, have a gay sister and had a gay guy be the best man at my wedding.
Fuck the Jews. Their words and their religion mean nothing to me.
christianity = stockholme syndrome writ large. when you swallow that dogmatic bullshit, you render yourself unfit to speak on behalf of god. jesus isn't god. only god is god. please STFU, or go where you will be better received. this is fight club.
Get a paid off place under your feet…. And a flame-thrower on the roof behind the chimney.
Fall the fuck apart already.........
What everyone is waiting on is an event. Its not an event, its a process.
I just got back from my small community type town which ten years ago was growing quite well. You hardly notice the change over the years until you step back and take stock of it today.
One of only two Mfg plants gone.
Almost all the commercial/industrial zoned buildings either vacant or just existing
about 1/2 the retail lease space now vacant.
Both car deallerships packed with cars, but lucky 1-2 people dealing for them at any time
the county Health and Human Svc office is always packed with 200 plus cars
I would say about 70 percent of the remaining job are with the schools or the local govt.
They raise taxes to supposedly save the hospital but its already at 9,6%
I counted 23 new payday loan places that have opened in the last 5 years from one end of this small town of 9000 to the other.
Every entrance to the town is now guarded 24/7 by squad cars or hiway patrols, at least 7 on duty at all times and you will count as many driving down our only main road. These are trying to raise falling revenue for the state and local gov but in net effect just runs off what llittle business traffic we have.
FEMA now has set up a claim center right in the middle of the High school grounds supposedly to help people with claims due to the local lake flooding and a few small windstorms we had. OTAY
The army is now storing multiple, around 20 military vehicles at the local community college.
I never seen any homeless here ever as rent is dirt cheap and plentiful here until the last 5 years, now there is always someone or a displaced family with a sign at the only Walmart in town. Most are not asking for money but a Job.
The young kids had a cruze night and everyone had the stars and bars flying high on the back of pickup trucks but you ask them what all this means and realize its just uninformed sheeple kids raising hell on weekends.
Have I noticed a change in the last 10 years in my town that 10 years ago was rated Top !0 small towns in America? YOU BET but you have to step back a few years to remember and I am sure this is a perfect case study for small towns all across America
I have a few shillings but the people here are hardworking people that would rather have prospects than a handout but are starting to struggle and a lot are starting to suffer.
So that truly CLUELESS economist up there can climb out of his glass house and ivory tower to look around the rest of American and KISS MY ROSY RED.
I'm going to the bank tomorrow to propose a joint Starbucks/Cash Money/Cop Shop franchise. I think it's a guaranteed loan.
Similar thing in my town of 11,000 except no FEMA (that I can see anyway), and the military vehicles are instead parked at our small National Guard armory. Otherwise - dead on. Homeless rotate staying overnight in several churches.
We should look for leadership from the ranks of retired, high-rank, commisioned and non-com military officers. These are people who have done a career of red, white & blue PRACTICE, NOT JUST THEORY. We need intellectual honesty, people we can trust -- these people have been long-scrutinized. Let's look here!
The "leadership" you speak of is too busy collecting hefty Govt pensions, they ain't gonna do shit.
I think he was being facetious...
I see them as LEAST LIKELY TO HAVE BEEN BOUGHT BETWEEN THE EARS!
I see them as LEAST LIKELY TO HAVE BEEN BOUGHT BETWEEN THE EARS!
Time to back away from the pipe.
As long as we can accumulate debt faster than economic growth, we'll be okay.
That's what's in for a downturn
The last time business was this bad the Fed launched QE2. Before that it was 2006. 2010 was the worst year for business in a very long time. It actually set up the inventory issues that sank the company I used to work for.
It was when the major retailers no longer had enough cash to book orders. QE2 allowed another round of massive channel stuffing. Product that never really sold. But it gave a few years of decent made up earnings based on booked future sales. However because the product never did sell, the real economy was still crap, the chargebacks and forced discounting started.
In 2006 there were problems with future bookings. The big guys were only writing fill ins. There wasn't enough cash flow to commit to large inventory buys. But the media and financial press said everything was rosy. I knew what was coming. I saw the sales crater, the big guys choking on inventory loaded with debt. They used junk debt to finance massive expansions of square footage to channel stuff and fake sales. Looking back now I see that the time period of 2002-2006 was just the trial run for the shenanigans the elite would run from 2009 on.
Around the second half of May, orders just stopped. We should be doing 100 containers a day. We are doing less than 5. Our fall business is dead and nothing is moving. The big guys at the public companies I deal with are dumping their stock and abandoning ship. Phil Knight stepping down from Nike is a big tell. Ed Stack from Dick's is also looking to get out. I was astounded to learn that Kevin Plank at Under Armour only held 16% of the stock in his company. The board isn't too happy with him right now after blowing $500 million on revenueless fitness apps.
The only thing that kept the economy going, if you can call masking terminal symptoms going, was QE. Operating capital isn't coming from end sales, real sales haven't added up to enough to keep the lights on. QE gave printed cash to the banks, who used it to buy up the stock market. This have corporations money to live on. It's like pumping blood through an IV into a patient who is bleeding out. If you can pump more blood in that he's losing, maybe you can keep him alive. It is only the illusion of life however.
If you run out of blood, the patient is dead. Problem is you aren't doing anything to fix why the guy is dying in the first place.
"Around the second half of May, orders just stopped. We should be doing 100 containers a day. We are doing less than 5."
What is your business? Containers of what?
Sounds like sporting goods apparel and sporting goods. I am suprised about Under Armour. They seem to be pretty savvy.
I heard Nike crap especially with Tiger Woods name on it is not selling. Nike's stuff is driven a lot by EBT and Welfare. Sporting goods apparel is expensive as hell.
Who needs a $80 golf shirt, $150 golf shoes, $125 running shoes and other crap when you do not have a job or you are paying $8,000 a year for Obola-care?
In 2006-7 in Baja they were building hi rise ocean front Condos to beat the band and homes on the hills. I was living there at the time. All the ex patriots were into real estate.
Money was flowing to beat the band and you were a 'loser' if you didn't buy into the hype. Yet I noticed something strange as well.
When I was building my home down there my wife and I would be down there every weekend, checking on progress, paying workers, etc.
I never saw 'customers' for all the development. There were workers and crews, but not the buyers. I knew then something bad was going down, it was obvious. Even Trump had a tower going up there, which was started and never completed as were about 70 other startups which never made it as financing dried up and sales never materialized.
"Based on all of the intel and information that I have gathered,"
"The last half of this year (2015) is going to represent a major turning point,"
What he should go on to say is: But I won't tell you what this intel and information is,
or what the major turning point will be about, because then you would be able to tell
that I am just making this shit up, time after time.
Look he could tell you, but then he'd have to kill you, which would presumably be a gross violation of the ZH terms of use agreement.......
"Today, Americans are more divided than ever it seems. Our news broadcasts endlessly fixate on “black vs. white”, “male vs. female”, “liberal vs. conservative”, “rich vs. poor”, etc, etc. Americans are extremely angry and frustrated at this point, but most of our anger and frustration is directed at one another."
This comes not from the media but from the public's wanting "something for nothing".
Remember, most people will turn on anyone with more than they themselves have.
MOAR SOCIALISM, PLEASE!
"This comes not from the media but from the public's wanting "something for nothing"."
Who really gets something for nothing?
The billionaires whose wealth derives from stocks and bonds that give them unearned income?
The corporate shareholders who benefit from share buybacks and quantitative easing?
The banks who create money out of thin air, at interest, at no risk to themselves?
The large corporations that recieved bailouts after the financial crisis?
The oil companies that recieve corporate welfare payments that serve no national purpose?
The military contractors whose products are always low-quality and over-budget?
The companies like WalMart that thrive on government largesse?
Why do you think it is it the American lower and working "middle" classes who are the main beneficiaries of this system? They aren't; in fact, they are the ones who toil so that the entities listed above can enjoy opulence while refusing to work. Socialism is about ownership of large enterprises by workers directly, not the state. Nor does it have to do with welfare payments or transfer payments of any sort. The former is state capitalism (in which the state is a shareholder), the latter is social democracy, the failed system they practice in Europe.
How long has 6th Grader Michael Snyder been writing this puerile drivel? And why does ZH keep posting it?
I can't read his childish "warnings" anymore, it's like watching a small child go around on a carousel.
The comments of the ZHers, however, are well worth reading.
You just went full retard.....everyone knows you never put a firm date on doom predictions.
No harm in being prepared, self-sufficient, debt free with productive assets.
Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays.
Four blood moons in a year is pretty normal, for people who actually spend time looking at the moon around moonrise or moonset. As for their occurence near ancient Jewish holidays, do remember that the Jewish calender and holiday schedule is LUNAR. Holidays in lunar calendars tend to fall on the Full or the New Moon.
this guy goes deep into the blood moons. worth a read if you're interested.
http://www.pray4zion.org/TheComingBloodMoons.html
Nothing Zionists say is 'worth' sny reading. Its always the same fucking lies about how persecuted the chosen ones are. So fuck off rikky
I don't believe anything that comes from the mouths of the chosen.
"Four blood moons in a year is pretty normal."
Nonsense.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ) defines the occurrence of 4 consecutive total lunar eclipses as a Tetrad. In the years 2014 - 2015 a rare Tetrad sequence will occur on the Jewish Holidays of Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. In addition to the Tetrad occurrence, 2 total solar eclipses will complement the 4 lunar eclipses on the Jewish New Year and the Feast of Trumpets.
Add the fact that on July 1 of this year, 2015, is the first occurance of the "Star of Bethlehem" that announced the 1st appearance of Christ on Earth- SINCE THAT FIRST OCCURANCE.

Wake up, people- the time is very near for Christ to return.
But 1st- WW3.
Shortly afterwards, Christ will return as prophesied.
Get ready for judgment.
Put faith in Jesus Christ now- before it is too late.
http://biblehub.com/matthew/24-36.htm
“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
Indeed, my friend.
We are not to suggest dates.
But we are to understand the signs:
"But He replied to them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.' ""And in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?" - Matthew 16:2,3
"And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be a hot day,' and it turns out that way. 56"You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time?" - Luke 12:55,56
"There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken." - Luke 21:25,26
"The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord." - Acts 2:20
"The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes." - Joel 2:31
"I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red," - Revelation 6:12
The signs are plenty.
There are eclipses every six months, one solar eclipse and one lunar eclipse usually. Attempting to view Revelation (or any esoteric aspect of any religion) in a literal fashion only leads one down blind alleys and premature prophecies that make the broader, secular enterprise of trying to show people that we are on the wrong path as a species much harder. In other words, you and your prophecies make all of us who are against the bankers and against the corporations look ridiculous to the vast majority of the population - exactly as the top 0.01% would like to have it.
Much of the geometry of eclipses repeats every 18.3 years in the saros cycle, and the same events as you have mentioned earlier have occurred hundreds of years in the past and will occur again in the future. At times these have coincided with Jewish holidays but nothing has happened.
I believe that we are going to enter a particuarly trying time for civilization as a whole, perhaps our final test as a species whether or not we are worthy of traveling to the stars or doomed to immolate ourselves in nuclear warfare. But don't read too much into the patterns of the planets and stars.
Obama in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019....

Ah geez, Mike, between you and Phoenix Capital now I can't even get out of bed anymore. Give it a rest, man.
Yeah, we know, bad things abound, but really? You're like the guy at the back of the life boat that keeps repeatedly and to no one in particular announcing we're adrift at sea and low on proivisions. It gets really old after awhile, and to be blunt, makes it difficult to see your name attached to anything and want to make the effort to read it.
Take a break, dude. Get outside. Read a book. Ride a bike. Go shopping, anything but put up another "Doom Porn" article.
We. Get. It. Already.
It's bad. It's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better. We know.
When the time comes, all you need to do is, "Take cover. Take aim. Take over."
There. You're done. See how easy that was?
I thought we was gonna be learnin sumptum new about whatz comin a down the pike form this Synder feller is his wrtin here. Nope, just the same as every udder dooms days feller sayin its comin in the second hasf of this here year. Jus wish I has his crystal balls to be tellin the futures from....guess use rubes are jus stupids or sumpting. Did this Synder end up by saying ta buy gold and silver and jewels right away as I'm forgettin howin it all ended up?
A simplification, the Civil War was the country's mid-life crisis...
If what we're living today is "normal life", then we're in deeper shit even I thought.
It is nearly "Guillotine Time!"
While I despair for the condition of the American country and people, I am most looking forward to the smashing of tyranny. They may own the halls, but we, the American people, own the land.
We Americans will prevail, as we shall be fighting for the wages of dignity and Liberty, while our enemies will only be fighting to sustain their rackets' profits.
Though my fate is probably to die face down in the mud of some battlefield, or tortured to death in one of Zion's "Room 101s," I will die free and fighting. Free and Fighting!
See you on the battlefield, or listen for my incessant tapping out of "YYZ" on my cell wall.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
"I am the only free man on this train! And the rest of you are CATTLE!"
You don't defeat the king by killing his pawns.
the only time change will be possible is when enough of the "normal people" have their lives disrupted enough that their happy secure suburban livlihoods are at risk or have been ruined. and even then, it has to be enough of them that they no longer blame themselves. they also cannot be black or racial or fringe, oh and they will still be gunned down as terrorists and the government will spend all resources required to ensure everyone "understands" the "correct version".
Guess what bitches? Change for the better will never fucking happen. America is over.
The traps are set. Once they set the grasses afire, we will be stampeded straight into them. Humans are far too predictable to offer much resistance. More likely many of us will go Soros, turning in complaining neighbors for extra Soylent rations. And we wonder why they treat us sheep. They probably have more respect for sheep.
Major turning point <mumble, mumble> ... sadly most people don't understand <mumble, mumble> ...
Sounds like an infomercial for a $999.99 "solution".

And you know how we got homosexual marriage, well when you overturned the miscegenation laws, i.e. interracial marriages were ILLEGAL, and I have heard "progressives" use this argument in the past, "mixed marriages used to be illegal just like gay(SIC) marriage is now." Well they won, of course who was it that tore down the old America...
This is who tore down the old America
People should be free to do what they want, even if it insults me, but that does not mean that either I or MY government must endorse it. We used to have moral law which primarily had no authority other than social standing. Instead we have governmental lovers who want the power of LAW behind every choice and action. If it is legal it is "good" and if it is illegal it is "bad" which is why we can't call them illegal immigrants anymore. I don't want to illegalize gay marriage or abortion.....I want the right to say it is wrong without being punished. I want right and wrong to be more than a legal question. Our actions have consequence no matter what anyone says, and we should feel free to say so. But we can't.
They divide us to distract us from the looting that is going on from the Treasury.
Can't we just bomb and kill our way out of this little glitch? Seems to have worked for the last 40 or so years. This guy sounds like a party-pooper.
If all else fails they can always pay half of the poor people to kill the other half.
Relax. You got til 2017.
THEN yer screwed.
Every now and then if we are lucky and good we get a shot.
Ugh clickbait. No hot girl selfies either.
If anyone cares to look at the Charts from this guy's website, they show we are NO WHERE near the highs of 2000. There is a chart, "Average of the 4" which is at 79% and the high, the previous one, shows that high at 140%...so, by their very arguments, we are NOT going there this year. WTF?
Yep, saw that video too. China, Russia, Iran, and several other commie countries are planning to team up and force the US$ out as the world's base currency. If it does happen, will it lead to WWIII, nuclear war, armageddon? Stay tuned and in the mean time stock up on ammo, seeds, survival gear, and plenty of J.D.

"Plenty of people think there could be another financial calamity as early as fall of 2015. What is Smith’s timeline? Smith predicts, “I see the motivation and the trend unfolding along those lines. They may be able to save it for another quarter, or maybe it will be the first quarter of 2016. We don’t know the exact timing, but they just keep winding the spring tighter and tighter. It is an attempt to control the exact circumstance they are all afraid of, which is the wheels falling off. All the spying, the manipulation and the propaganda are all about trying to control events. So, when things spin out of control, they will have already used all the tools they have. . . . I definitely think there is going to be some sort of event, and we are starting to see it now. Maybe they will stretch it out to September or October, which we all know is historically when crashes tend to occur. Then, they might unleash some sort of save, QE 3,4,5,6, whatever and pull things out of a hat. That would cover things up again for another few months, but I definitely think by 2016 that there are going to be events that they are going to be unable to control. . . . These wild swings in the market are reminiscent of 1929.”

The present state of the human economy supports the proposition there is no wrong. Gracious, forgiving Central Banks seem to have the capacity and power to fix all the wrongs that undermine what many think is valuable. Therefore, we are all free to do what is right in our own eyes. Our discourse reflects that.
Yet to be understood is whether we are valuing the right things. Pursuing the wrong paradigm has a high probablity of leading to a result none of us expect.
What's this "we" shit Mr. Snyder? I have not mistreated anyone since I was young. You make it sound as though we deserve what you prophecise. If you studied history you would see that it is an evil few who are responsible for the suffering of millions.

This article was written by a guy who worships a 2000 year old Jewish zombie, and he awaits his rising from the dead. He telepathically communicates with said zombie and accepts him as his master, so he can remove an evil force from his soul that is present in humanity because a woman made from a rib was convinced by a talking snake.
The author is obviously seriously lacking in critical thinking abilities, so take this article in light of that.
"But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, "In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts." These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit." - Jude 1:17-19
Wow! The Zombie Worshippers are thick in here today.
