Federal Reserve Failing. Very Troubling Symptoms:Predicting Economic Collapse within 6 months: by Jim Rickards. Jonathan Cahn linking Yeshayahu 9:10 to 9/11. Shemitah

bs"d

Dear Fellow Activists, Lovers of Israel, Family and Friends, amv"sh

All of us see the dangers of the world around us and we all sense it is reminiscent of the 1930's.  Therefore,  please don't disregard this post and please be open to these warnings!  

Listen/watch this video!  http://marketsanity.com/jim-rickards-25-year-great-depression/ It might save what you have in case of the dollar collapsing! I have nothing personal to gain except perhaps to try to convince my husband  to act with our monies/investments wisely before it's too late.  

Briefly these are some of the points Jim Rickards http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_G._Rickards  made: 

A Single Flashpoint  could bring America into The 25 Year Great Depression by Jim Rickards 

Flashpoints:
  • Petrodollar.  Oil is priced in Dollar because of Petrodollar deal with Kissinger.  Dollar is in decline.  3 legged stool  of Petrodollar deal are 
    1. Saudi
    2. Russia 
    3. China
All three legs are collapsing.  Saudi's are upset since America supported Iran rather than Saudi. Russia and China dumping dollar... 

Shadow banking in China inevitable collapse. 

He predicts SDR Special Drawing Rights (SDRs)  http://www.imf.org/external/np/exr/facts/sdr.HTM  replacing Dollar and  financial panic.  IMF International Monetary Fund.  SDR  to bail out Fed. taking over world monetary system.  fyi The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an organization of 188 countries, working to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth, and reduce poverty around the world.. http://www.imf.org/external/country/index.htm  Please note that not all of these countries are democracies. 

What to do:  Rickards suggests

Seek shelter from dollar's fall.

He suggests invest in Euro. 

Devise an insurance plan from market collapse.  invest against financial sector and multiply protection against collapse. 

Invest in Food, Energy, essential hard assets.  For example Water investments.  Water processing plant, Emergency medical supplies, Follow Warren Buffet recent acquisitions. He is investing in hard assets like buying railroad that also transports, moves hard assets.  oil and natural gas resources.  He is dumping paper money 

He warns of 30 stocks endanger of collapsing:  Held in retirement accounts and bluechips and vulnerable to complete annihilation.  (Check your IRA's)

He suggests adding hard assets to your portfolio.  Stay away from gold ETF's.  Protect yourself with your investments and the bank you choose to keep your money.

He recommends which careers will be the safest and to buy his book naturally :) 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

All that know me know that I am not into endorsing the work of missionaries.  But what I will now present to you is not missionary but the findings of one. 

According to the Talmud*  "Whoever tells a thing in the name of the one who said it, brings redemption into the world."   *The dictum to repeat a teaching b'shem omro can be found in Pirkey Avot 6:6, and in Talmud Bavli (the Babylonian Talmud) Megilah 15A, Hulin 104B, and Niddah 19B.  btw I found this reference when  I googled b"shem omro in a blog post By Rabbi Debora S. Gordon  http://blog.timesunion.com/rebdeb/bshem-omro/110/   

I am referring to the books of Jonathan Cahn.  fyi Jonathan Cahn is President of Hope of the World ministries, Senior Pastor and Messianic Rabbi of the the Jerusalem Center/ Beth Israel in Wayne, New Jersey. He is also the author of the best selling book 'The Harbinger'.  He links the Pasuk in Yeshayahu 9:10 which is a rebuke to Shevet Efraim in the Shomron for what they said in defiance in face of Hashem's judgement against them to similarities of 9/11 and how America responded.  The parallels are just too glaring to be ignored. 
 

Watch the 2 video's, Senator Tom Daschle's speech to the Senate on September 12, 2001 till the end where he quotes this verse from Isaiah, and the second video Astounding Revelations, G-d's Judgement on America?   His book "The Harbinger" is the bestselling Christian book of the last three years. Other than the first quote from John, the video focuses on the verse in Isaiah and America's response. )

His new book The Mystery of Shemittah is that 100 percent of the worst U.S. economic calamities since World War II are all lined to the "Shemitah," the biblical Sabbath year, its wake or the biblical month of Tishri in which the "Shemitah" falls. http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/shocker-economic-crashes-linked-to-bible-pattern/#XufMG3gUVosRYrlB.99.  I myself realized these parallels in some of the most recent economic calamities. 



Dear Friends,  

Shabbat is the key for Parnassah, ones livelihood. 

Shemittah is Shabbat Haaretz. A Sabbatical of the Land of Israel.   Shemittah is the antidote to crediting my success to Kochi VeOtzem Yadi, the strength and the might of my hand....What can best characterize the Twin Towers and Wall Street if not Kochi VeOtzem Yadi?  

This collapse, September 11, 2001, occurred within the Ten Days of Repentance following the Shemittah year just prior to the Hakhel service where we read portions of the Torah directly related to commandments which relate to how to conduct business and finances which show clearly that our Land and our strength comes from G-d and G-d alone?   


"Parshat Behar begins with a discussion on the mitzvah of shmitta. The commentaries offer several explanations regarding this special mitzvah. The Kli Yakar explains that the mitzvah of shmitta is meant to instill in Klal Yisrael the idea of emunah and bitachon, faith and trust in the A-mighty. Hashem was afraid the Jewish nation would enter Eretz Yisrael, live off the Land, and credit their success to "kochi veotzem yadi" "my strength and the might of my hand". By commanding the people not to work on the Sabbatical Year and rely totally on Hashem, the people would then realize that Hashem is the Provider during the other six years as well. "


 Is it coincidence that the most widely read post on my blog Shemittah Rediscovered is Parshat Haman http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2008/01/artscroll-english-translation-of.html  with over 1500 pageviews? (and when I posted it in 2008 it was a side post not a typical post featured on my blog?)

Start it from the beginning.  The story as reported then. U.S. Ambassador to Egypt "Leon Klinghoffer was murdered".

The Italian courts had found no direct evidence of his involvement.

  • One of the hijackers, Youssef Magied Molqi, was eventually released on a 12 day pass for good behavior.  
  • On October 7, 1985, four hijackers from the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF) took control of the Achille Lauro off Egypt as it was sailing from Alexandria to Port Said, Egypt.  
  • Holding the passengers and crew hostage, they ordered the captain to sail to Tartus, Syria, and demanded the release of 50 Palestinians then in Israeli prisons, including the Lebanese prisoner Samir Kuntar. 
  • The next day, after being refused permission by the Syrian government to dock at Tartus, the hijackers singled out Klinghoffer, a Jew and US citizen, for execution, shooting him in the forehead and chest as he sat in his wheelchair.  
  • They then forced the ship's barber and a waiter to throw his body and wheelchair overboard. 
  • Marilyn Klinghoffer, who did not witness the shooting, was told by the hijackers that he had been moved to the infirmary. She only learned the truth after the hijackers left the ship at Port Said. PLO Foreign Secretary Farouq Qaddumi said that perhaps the terminally ill Marilyn Klinghoffer had killed her husband  
  • See this page here for an interesting development in 1996: 
       http://www.usa-anti-communist.com/ard/satellite-coverups.php#nsa2
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Achille_Lauro After being refused permission to dock at Tartus, the hijackers killed disabled Jewish-American passenger Leon Klinghoffer and then threw his body overboard.[4] The ship then headed back towards Port Said, and after two days of negotiations, the hijackers agreed to abandon the liner in exchange for safe conduct and were flown towards Tunisia aboard an Egyptian commercial airliner. This plane, however, was intercepted by US fighter aircraft and directed to land in Sicily, where the hijackers were arrested and later tried for murder.

Jeremy Dery writes: Everyone please remember the goal of this campaign- Please remember to keep the pressure on PETER GELB at the METROPOLITAN OPERA. He must understand the importance of cancelling "THE DEATH OF KLINGHOFFER" performances at the Met, especially in light of the onslaught of terrorism going on in the Middle East today. NO SYMPATHY FOR TERRORISTS!!!

Espousing incendiary anti-Semitic lies, and celebrating the "humanity of the terrorists" is totally unacceptable.

Maya Fridman writes: ATTENTION: As one of the hosts, I am inviting you to participate in stopping the production of this horrible opera, called “Death to Klinghoffer.” The storyline is Anti-Semitic, Anti-Israel, and Anti American. Most importantly the opera is legitimizing, accepting, and praising terrorism! Not only are the Jewish and Israeli communities are at risk of danger from terrorism, but right now Jihadists are threatening America’s safety also. Don’t we as Americans remember 9/11 when we lost our Twin Towers and the thousands of Americans who died from the result? Do not sit quietly and do nothing! Get into IMMEDIATE action in removing this filthy opera from performing by writing to Peter Gelb at pgelb@metopera.org, calling him at 212-799-3100 ext. 2891, or loudly protesting on the Opening Day of September 22nd, 2014 from 5 pm to 7 pm at the NYC Metropolitan Opera. Let’s show the haters that we won’t be silent and always will prevail! Am Israel Chai ♥

Fwd: From Israel: Arlene Kushner Lonely Mandate in response to Israel declared 4,000 dunams (988 acres) in Judea (Gush Etzion area) as state land available for future housing.



---------- Forwarded message ----------

Subject: From Israel: A Lonely Mandate
To: A Kushner <akushner18@gmail.com>


September 3, 2014
 
"A Lonely Mandate"
 
These are particularly tough times for Israel (and for Jews more broadly). The situation demands steady nerves and absolute determination to pursue our course with conviction.  Is is difficult, indeed, not to be deflected by rage, which enervates, or to fall into depression, the flip side of that rage. 
 
The world, which has turned upside down, is smoldering, and on the cusp of bursting into flames.
 
But in the face of consummate and breathtaking evil, attacking Israel occupies the attention of the western world.  For we have done something that is deemed terrible: we have allocated close to 1,000 acres in the Gush Etzion area as state land available for future housing. 
 
Shocking, isn't it?  Never mind that Islamists are raping women in large numbers, or that there are hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees, or that ISIS has beheaded two American journalists.  Or that Khaled Mashaal, head of the Hamas politburo, has said Hamas will never relinquish its "sacred" weapons, and is prepared, as necessary to return to "resistance" until its goals (destruction of Israel) are reached.  The EU and the US have time to harshly criticize Israel:
 
The US has formally asked Israel to reverse the decision on this land.
 
The EU has said this decision constitutes "an obstacle to peace and threatens to render the two state solution impossible."
 
There has been "condemnation" of Israel's action in several quarters, and Britain warned that this would "threaten" our "standing" in the international community.
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
Allow me, then, to respond with pertinent background information.
 
The land in question is largely in Gush Etzion, a bloc of Jewish communities south east of Jerusalem that is solidly tied to Israel's history – and to the modern history of Jews in the Land even before the founding of Israel.  See: http://www.gush-etzion.org.il/history.asp
 
It is unthinkable that this area would ever be part of a "Palestinian state," and the notion that building here would render the "two state solution" impossible is unmitigated nonsense.
 
It is simply that the world has decided we have no rights to land beyond what is referred to as the "pre-1967 border" but is in fact a 1949 temporary armistice line.  An irrational fixation with that "Palestinian state" persists at all costs.  A fixation that we must counter.
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
In point of fact, the Oslo II Interim Agreement, as elucidated in a briefing by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, "established a division of the West Bank into three areas: Area A, where the Palestinians had full control, Area B where there was mixed Israeli and Palestinian security control but full Palestinian civil control, and Area C, where Israel had full military and civilian control. Israeli responsibilities in Area C included the power of zoning and planning.  The territory which Israel declared as state land is within Area C." (Emphasis added) 
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
Oslo aside for the moment, matters of land allocation in Judea and Samaria are complicated precisely because Israel has not annexed the area. There is a layering of laws going back to the pre-Mandate Ottoman period; the Mandate period (1922 – 1948), when Great Britain was the administrator; through the period of illegal Jordanian occupation (1949 – 1967; and since to the present with Israel as administrator.
 
Broadly, land in Judea and Samaria falls into one of three legal categories: state land, private land, and land whose status is to be determined. The area in question had the status of territory whose status is to be determined.  However, an investigation was required before the change of status to state land could be announced: That lengthy investigation, completed this summer, determined its status.  No private Arab ownership was uncovered. Now there will be a window of opportunity for those who might wish to contest this finding.  And as we are looking at a bureaucratic process, it will be some time before any actual building is done.
 
This, then, is what the furor is about.
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
All of this has to do with the resumption of the "peace process."  A linkage that is without reason has been made: now that there is a ceasefire (still temporary) between Israel and Hamas, Israel must go back to the table to negotiate with the PA.  How that is – when Abbas sat at the table with Hamas in Cairo and has not pulled out of the unity agreement – is unclear.
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
I've written several times lately about the difficulty of determining where our prime minister stands, as his statements and policies do not seem consistent.  I wrote this with regard to the goals of the war with Hamas, but it applies, as well here with Israel's stand against the international community. 
 
I do not for a moment consider the pressures being brought to bear on Netanyahu to be anything less than horrendous.  But this is what I'm seeing:
 
According a report in Arutz Sheva two days ago, in response to the June 12 abduction and murder of Gilad Sha'ar, Naftali Frenkel and Eyal Yifrah, Netanyahu had ordered for bids to go out on 2,500 housing units – in the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Givat Hamatos in the Judea and Samaria communities of Ariel, Emanuel, and Beitar Illit.
 
"The bid publications were prepared and ready to go - until Netanyahu at the very last minute waffled and changed his mind, canning the plan right before it was to be published. (Emphasis added)
 
According to Cabinet Secretary Avichai Mandelblit "the international pressure placed on Israel during and following Operation Protective Edge...led Netanyahu to fear an international 'crisis' if he were to announce plans for new Jewish houses."
 
 
These were plans for new housing in areas where Israeli development already existed and yet were deemed too controversial.  Yet now an announcement has been made for a new area to be considered state land, and Netanyahu has allowed this to go through.
 
Gil Hoffman of the JPost says that Netanyahu permitted this for political reasons: with Naftali Bennett besting him in polls as the right wing leader of the nation, he had to show his nationalist credentials.
 
Perhaps. But the fact is that he did it.  He presumably made the judgment that it is possible to withstand the international furor.  A lesson that should not be lost.
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
On the issue of negotiations, Netanyahu is showing strength right now.
 
In the face of Abbas's peace plan (which I will track in more detail in following posts), our government has made it clear that we will not deal with a PA government that has Hamas backing.
 
 
This is precisely as it should be, for starters.  (I can think of many reasons not to negotiate with a PA government even if it were no longer backed by Hamas.)
 
In addition, according to Israel's Channel 2, yesterday, before the Gaza war Netanyahu had told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that his government would no longer release prisoners convicted of terrorists acts as a gesture to Abbas. 
 
 
Considering the disasters we've encountered as a result of terrorists who were released (and never should have been), no other position is possible. 
 
This is not going to play well with the US, or with the PA.  Or, I would assume, with the EU.  But it is a position that absolutely must be maintained – and which may, in and of itself, preclude negotiations because of what Abbas will demand.
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
It is, I believe, the mandate of our prime minister and his government to stand strong for Israel – for Israeli rights and Israeli security both. A tough mandate, given the pressures and the complex decisions that must be made, and a very necessary one.  More necessary, perhaps, than at any other time.  Appearance of Israeli weakness or doubt as to Israel's rights would be a disservice to the nation.
 
Along with this, there is a mandate to present Israel's positions in a clear, forthright manner, public forums and for the media.
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
And it is, then, the mandate of all who care about Israel, to stand with the prime minister in this time as he stands for Israel's rights and security.  This means speaking out in a forthright way for Israel and missing no opportunity to broadcasts the facts. which are so little understood.  It also means exposing the evil and the duplicity of the PA, which continues to be embraced by the international community.
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
Here I ask, please, that you communicate with Prime Minister Netanyahu.  Do it with courtesy and brevity.  Encourage him to stand strong against a perverse international community that will never be pleased no matter what Israel does.  Implore him to speak for Israel's rights and security.  And ensure him that you will salute him for this, and stand with him – and speak out for Israel in your community.
 

E-mail: Memshala@pmo.gov.il and also pm_eng2@it.pmo.gov.il (underscore after pm) use both addresses.

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

Do not write to ask Obama or Kerry to support Israel – it would be an absolute waste of your energy, as they have an agenda that will not change.  But please do reach out to your elected representatives in Congress in support of Israel, as often as it seems necessary to do so.

 

For your Congresspersons:

 

http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/

 

For your Senators:

 

http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

I will, to the best of my ability, continue to provide information on the political/diplomatic situation – so that ramifications and processes might be understood, and on the devious machinations of Abbas.  Please, my friends, use my material.

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

And there is something else I expect to do, as well:

 

As many of you know, Jeff Daube, head of ZOA in Israel, and I co-chair "Legal Grounds – the Campaign for Israel's Rights in Judea and Samaria."  During the war we were silent, because we understood what came first and where attention had to be focused. 

 

Now it's time to begin the campaign again.  I will be providing information on what we have done to date and what we yet hope to do. I encourage the interest and the participation of my readers. With the international push to get us to surrender our rights in Judea and Samaria, and to negotiate a "Palestinian state," this campaign assumes enormous importance for Israel's future.
