Fmr. US Treasury Official: Five US banks May Collapse, Lose Twice World GDP

A former US Treasury official has warned that the American banking system is “not safe” and the collapse of the five largest US banks can incur losses twice as much as the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Former US Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts said on Monday that despite US President Joe Biden’s recent statement about the safety of bank deposits after the collapse of two major banks, the banking system in the US is not capable of covering the risks associated with banks’ collapse.

Preaching the End Times Better (Part 3): The Parousia of Holy Communion
Post Date: 2023-03-15 18:35:59 by Charles_Byrd

The assurance of Christ’s final Parousia should offer the faithful the greatest confidence that, despite the appearance of this wayward world, the returning Lord Jesus will redeem us, as well as the Earth itself, to the uttermost. For as He is, so we shall be (1 John 3:2). That means resurrection, but it also means our vindication for having trusted in the Lamb’s Word and person as judgment falls upon mockers of The Way (Galatians 6:7). Preaching the End Times better means preaching things will assuredly play-out not only just as Jesus said, but also that he is the abiding guarantor who leads us from the Incarnation, through Holy Communion, to the Final Parousia. The false ...
Another European country just dealt a devastating blow to the transgender movement

The Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board (NHIB) is the latest European body to announce that the so-called “affirmative model of care” for gender dysphoric minors is not supported by evidence and is advising against the use of cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, and “sex change” surgeries for minors. The NHIB recommended that these “treatments” be classified as experimental and noted that the spike in children identifying as transgender is concerning. “The knowledge base, especially research-based knowledge, for gender confirmation treatment (hormonal and surgical) is insufficient,” the report notes. “Little is known about the long-term ...
Preaching the End Times Better (Part 2): The Hermeneutics of Parousia

2Peter 3 proves a tour-de-force toward preaching the end times better. So far from being a locus classicus for the obliteration of the world, this epistle reinforces both the Lord’s justice in an assured judgment and, until that Final Day, mercy in forbearance. In other words, Saint Peter presents the End Times in clear categories of Law and Gospel as the outcome of Christological thinking. The former demands circumspection regarding a laissez faire disposition toward Christ’s final parousia with its righteous judgment and the latter drives those with ears to hear toward repentance and redeeming grace found in Christ alone. Either way, be it Law or Gospel, the person, word, and ...

“As for the evil: It lurks in the interstices of our bureaucratic institutions, which, as they have grown in size and complexity since the nineteenth century, behave in ways that are increasingly impossible to understand and contrary to human flourishing.” — Eugyppius on Substack Money is all theoretical… until it’s not. Paper money is bad enough, as France learned under the tutelage of the rascal John Law in the early 1700s. The nation was broke, exhausted by foolish wars, and heaped under unbearable debt. Monsieur Law, a Scottish genius-wizard (the Jerry Lewis of political economy), landed in Paris, cast a spell on the regent Duc d’Orléans, set up a ...

A former Hunter Biden business associate, Rob Walker, received $3 million from a corporation connected to the Chinese Communist Party just two months after Joe Biden's tenure as vice-president had ended, bank reports that finally were released by the U.S. Treasury Department reveal. The next day after receiving the $3 million Chinese payment, Walker "started transferring money into three different Biden family members' accounts," House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chair James Comer, R-Ky., told Fox News' Sean Hannity. One of those receiving the transfers is a "Biden family member that's never before been identified as being involved in the ...
HOW GAY MARRIAGE CHANGED AMERICA

In November 2022, the ACLU’s deputy director for transgender justice came out against gay marriage. “I find it disappointing how much time and resources went into fighting for inclusion in the deeply flawed and fundamentally violent institution of civil marriage,” Chase Strangio wrote on Instagram. Two months later, Taylor Silverman, a female skateboarder who gained prominence after objecting to the inclusion of biological males in women’s athletic competitions, criticized gay marriage from the opposite direction: “I used to think gay marriage was ok until all of the things that conservatives warned us would happen next actually happened. Now it seems it really was ...

Authenticating the Fourth Gospel (Part 2)

In part one of this article we looked at various temporal and geographical indicators referenced within the Fourth Gospel which served to corroborate the author’s claim that he really could have been an eyewitness of the life of Jesus. The Gospel of John does indeed bear the marks of an authentic early first century text written by someone with accurate knowledge of Jerusalem before it was completely destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. But there is another test we can use to further establish John’s credibility, and that is by considering the names that appear throughout his Gospel. An Israeli scholar by the name of Tal Ilan compiled a database of ancient Palestinian Jewish ...
The Supreme Court Has a Chance to Help Protect Biological Female Student Athletes

Should a biological male who identifies as a female be permitted to compete against a biological female in public-school sports? The State of West Virginia has asked the Supreme Court to vacate an injunction entered by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in an important case involving transgender participation in women’s sports in public schools. The case revolves around a West Virginia law, known as the Sports Act, which was passed to “ensure equal opportunities and fair play for all student athletes.” In essence, the Act requires public schools to designate sports teams “based on biological sex” “at birth,” and ensures that biological males ...

Statues of historical 'old white men' such as Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington could be removed from public view in Wales in order to 'set right the historical narrative' and prevent offence to a 'diverse modern public'. Monuments have been subject to an audit in Wales since the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, when a statue of slave trader Thomas Picton was removed from Cardiff City Hall. Click for Full Text!
Towards Tri-Multipolarity: The Golden Billion, The Sino-Russo Entente, & The Global South

The global systemic transition’s impending evolution towards tri- multipolarity could see the US-led West’s Golden Billion, the Sino-Russo Entente, and the de facto Indian-led Global South becoming the most prominent poles in International Relations, below which would be rising powers and regional groups. All actors would balance one another by multi- aligning within and between their respective levels, which might result in stabilizing global affairs much more than the prior unipolar and bi- multipolar orders did. International Relations are hurtling towards tripolarity at an astounding pace as a result of the dramatic events that unfolded over the past year and especially the ...

“Women as a constituency” weren’t active in the early pro-choice movement

The first pro-abortion reformers were men. It was pro-choice men that originally lobbied for abortion to be legalized. Kristin Luker, historian said: “The reaction of state legislators of the 1960s, when asked what role women had played in securing passage of the Beilenson bill [which legalized abortion in California before Roe V Wade], could best be epitomized as a blank stare. All of them could name individual women who had been active in the reform group California Committee on Therapeutic Abortion (CCTA), but none of them believed that women as a constituency were central to the issue.” Click for Full Text!

Because human affairs are complex, we may be inclined to think that such a rudimentary investigative principle is of limited practical utility, but in recent years I have found it infallible. The world is full of would be activists—people who are fervently interested in promoting a program. Many of these programs are eccentric at best, and as long as no money is available to fund them, they will remain in obscurity. However, if a program’s activists are energetic and backed with massive funding, they may rapidly exercise major influence on public policy. Click for Full Text!
Banking Troubles on the Horizon?

The failure of Silicon Valley Bank (16th largest bank in US) last Friday resulted from depositors withdrawing their funds in response to a drop in value of the bank’s bond portfolios caused by the Federal Reserve’s ill-considered hikes in interest rates. The mindless policy implemented by the Federal Reserve cures inflation by producing bank runs, failed banks, and unemployment. The Federal Reserve and neoliberal economists are still stuck in the worn out thinking of 20th century Keynesianism. Yesterday federal regulators seized New York’s Signature Bank which was overwhelmed by deposit withdrawals. The banks’ failures, with troubles reported afflicting Republic Bank ...

As we witness the collapse of various mainstream narratives, especially those surrounding the U.S./NATO war with Russia in Ukraine, Americans should begin to reassess their understanding of U.S. national leadership. Most American citizens have no notion of the great disparity between what their government does overseas and the stories they hear from its mouthpieces. As a result, Americans unwittingly support all sorts of foreign operations with little or no understanding of what is actually going on. For years, they have been misled by a non-stop propaganda campaign that is only now beginning to crumble. We are experiencing the death throes of the United States’ unipolar hegemony over ...

This year, though, also marks the 50th anniversary of another event from the other side of the Pacific. It is a story of deep pro-life conviction and moral courage which is unknown outside Japan.

It was a red-hot day in June—a preview of summer’s sweltering attractions. I looked at my reflection as I made my way through the glass doors of the hospital. It was the day that I had been waiting nine months for and yet, strangely enough, I wondered if I was ready. I stayed for a little while but it seemed as if it was not quite my time. So I headed back to the car, only to make a return trip to the hospital within a couple of hours. Click for Full Text!
