THE NEW INSANITY

George Offerman

“Meet the new boss.  Same as the old boss”

We won’t get fooled again – The Who

The more things change, the more they stay the same.  How is it that our government can demonize and castigate whole societies and religions to the point that they justify wars of aggression and cheer on the destruction of innocent people in the name of ‘bringing them freedom and peace”?  But the more disturbing question is how is it that a supposed moral and religious country such as ours, can go along, and in some instances, cheer this action on?  Have we gone so far that we have lost our ability to know the difference between right and wrong?

Not only has our government declared a series of illegal and immoral wars on several nations, it now seems our government cannot trust its own citizens, and the revelations of the past week by whistleblower Edward Snowden prove beyond a doubt that the government has also waged an illegal and immoral war against its own citizens.  And all in the name of ‘national security’.  Orwell could not have dreamed of a scarier and more insane scenario if he ended up in hell and had to describe his experience.

What is happening to us is nothing that has not happened myriads of time throughout history, when an immoral and lazy society gives up its rights and freedoms in exchange for security and bread and circuses.  We sit here, believing the whole time we are smarter and more sophisticated than our ancestors and the rest of the world while we blissfully and ignorantly go off the waterfall and plunge to our demise.  We are trapped in a terminal situation of our own making and aren’t smart enough to see it.  We see ourselves as morally superior to virtually every society and religion in the world, yet we are naked, desolate and stupid.

Yes, we are surrounded by unstable systems, from the financial world, to our food production with its monstrous forms of GMO, yet somehow, want to inflict this onto the rest of the world, and will do it by force, even when not necessary.  The average person takes no time whatsoever to investigate the current happenings and wants to demonize anyone that challenges any of the sacred ideas that point to the ending of the current system as we know it.  So our elected officials, with the instructions from the elite needs to preoccupy us with endless wars waged on that invisible enemy called the ‘terrorists’  in order to hide their true agenda and cover their tracks before the real fireworks begin. 

We seem to continually glorify aggressive actions against those we see as morally inferior to ourselves.  This is also reflected in the fact that many Americans are not outraged, or maybe don’t even care about the latest revelation of our government spying on citizens that have done nothing wrong.  Maybe some of the numbness is a direct result of wanting to bomb the hell out of countries that are ‘supposed threats’ and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people, all in the name of ‘freedom’.  Maybe it’s no big deal to a large segment of the population, because they are on the dole, and don’t want to bite the hand that feeds them.

We have a huge spiritual problem in this country.  It’s called spiritual poverty.  We cannot tell right from wrong, and cheer on what is evil and distain what is right and holy.  We have lost our spiritual compass and as a result, we are going to hit the rocks and destroy our ship called the USA.   The average person has no idea how long we have left, but the clock surely cannot have much time left on it.  Better get prepared.

DON'T WORRY, IT'S COMING

  

George Offerman

For the past couple of months, we have witnessed a huge sell off in the precious metals that can only be explained by pure foolishness.  The financial press is constantly beating the deflationary drum concerning the metals, and provocatively steering the herd into the overbought and over leveraged stock market, that is ready for a major correction.   When (and not if) this reversal takes place, it will be curtains for many and their money will be taken by those who have been salivating over the last vestige of capital left in this hopelessly indebted country.

Why anyone would still continue to give credence to anyone who is promoting the current system is beyond my ability to understand.  We are seeing unprecedented reaches by multiple governments in taking the citizen’s money in all forms that happen to have an account number and track able by said governments.  If the government is not outright stealing money, as in the Cyprus experiment, it is doing it indirectly by raising taxes on capital gains to mafia like heights.  On top of that, there is ample evidence that many of the corporations are ‘cooking the books’ and are not as valuable as they have to show in order to continue commanding astronomically high stock valuation.  Why continue to play this game when it is so obviously rigged?

I am as equally mystified when I read postings from those who have a clear vision of what is to happen, when they make a credible case to own tangibles, then somewhere in their writings they recommend only ‘10% or so in precious metals, as an insurance policy”.  Well, I say, what about the other 90% of your money, which is still within the criminal financial system?  It’s acceptable to lose nearly all of one’s wealth, as long as they don’t get too ‘radical’ and put their life savings into tangibles, especially precious metals?  It truly makes me wonder if these people really believe what they preach, or if there are deeper and profitable motives on their part.

We are hopelessly in debt.  Our debt is increasing in geometric progression and there is not a thing we can do about it.  It doesn’t matter how much ‘austerity’ we introduce, or what political party is in office, or how many jobs we create, or how much the jobs numbers and inflations numbers are manipulated, we simply have gone too far in our ability to pay it back, and all the printing presses in the world, coupled with stealing all the peoples assets that have numbers, and can be frozen via electronic means, will not change any of these facts.  The reset button will be hit and the system as we know it today will cease to exist.

We are on borrowed time.  Every day that passes that does not result in collapse, is a blessing.  It is what we do with this time that will make all the difference in the world for us and our loved ones.  While all the talking idiots on the majority of the financial programs and channels talk about some mystical recovery, the facts paint a much dire and different picture.  The cut and paste economy will soon give away to a more somber reality in which real skills and real know how will be the only way to continue on with life.  The need to be able to take care of oneself will be paramount and the need to be in a community of like-minded individuals will be essential.  Tangibles, not stocks or bonds, or even cash will be king and will be necessary to get on with the day to day demands of the times ready to visit us.  At the top of the list (other than food, water and shelter) will be the precious metals.  God’s money.

This is why it is so important to be plugged in, and to take care of one’s situation with tangibles.  Tangibles are the hardest to confiscate, and are readily available to the owner at his discretion.  There is no counter party risk, and it is as open or hidden as you make it.  If the old adage about making money is true, “buy low, and sell high” then precious metals couldn’t be a better deal right now.  The stock market is at an all-time high, and people are flooding into it.  Precious metals are at a 5 year low, and people are dumping them like crazy.  Cattle running to the slaughter house.   Don’t end up being steak on the elite’s plate.

On a personal note

I’ve been extremely busy, as in every waking moment accounted for, and the blog, although important, is not an essential piece of my day.  I am hoping this deluge of ‘life’ will calm down, and I can get back to writing on a more regular basis.  So, for those who wondered where I went or if I’m ok, I’m letting you know that I hope to be writing a lot more in the near future.  I’m also looking into a collaborative effort with another individual who is fairly influential in the pro-life movement, who also happens to believe what I do, and thinks the message needs to get out to the faithful quickly.  Will keep you updated on that one.  Thanks for being patient.

THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST

George Offerman

And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed “Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done”.

Luke 22:41-42

In 1988, a movie with the above title came out that basically mocked Christianity and the whole aspect of the passion death and resurrection of Jesus by making a false assertion that the nature of Christ’s temptation was sexually motivated, and that Jesus somehow would not be fulfilled without experiencing this piece of humanity prior to his death.  In a sexually saturated society like our own, this could pass as some form of ‘nonfiction’ fiction and there would be some elements of society that would buy into this false assertion.  These people are coming from a secular humanistic point of view, and are clearly denying the divine view, that the point of Jesus manifestation as a man was to be the ultimate sacrifice to expiate sin once and for all.

What makes the whole Christ event so remarkable and awesome is the fact that the second person of the Trinity found it worth the effort to save fallen beings and freely give them the opportunity of paradise without strings attached, or the need to follow the ‘law’ in order to ‘earn’ salvation.   With this event, Jesus must have been fully aware of how unjust this was, and would have had to have a level of humility that virtually none of us mortals could even begin to comprehend.  It is beyond modern man’s ability to consider how anyone would knowingly put themselves into such a position, especially when this person has the powers to change all things.

“Then Jesus said to him, ‘put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.  Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?  But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?

Matt 26:52-54

We as a race are obsessed with power, and continually imagine having super powers in which we see ourselves being the good guy and destroying the bad guys.  Just look at the proliferation of movies such as superman, batman, transformers, and fantastic four and so on.  If any human had the ability to change history by using super human powers, I’m willing to believe that none could resist this temptation.  It is innate for us to be repelled by evil, and we would do anything in our power to change the course of evil if we had the ability to do so.  So, most likely the greatest temptation we as humans could have is to be given the power to change the course of history and then see if we would use it and how we would use it.

Jesus was the only person ever to have lived that actually had this ability.  Yet He used His free will to follow the will of His Father, and chose to let Himself experience a most painful and humiliating death.  It is nearly impossible to grasp this concept, yet explain it in any human language or form that is understandable.  It can only be seen as the ultimate act of love, and only a being with the ability to have perfect focus on a goal could have accomplished such a feat.  The human part of Jesus was fearful of His impending death, and this gives me comfort in the fact that death is not a pleasant experience as evidenced by Jesus.  But unlike Jesus, I believe personally that if I had the power to stop my own death, I most likely would use it.

So, if there really was the last temptation of Christ (which I doubt) it very well may have been to use His divinity to change the course of human events.  However, we would still be under the curse of sin, and there would be no hope in heaven or resurrection for us.  Jesus modeled for us perfect obedience to the will of God, and perfect love, in that He allowed Himself to be brutally murdered to give us the opportunity to spend eternity with Him.  Wow.

CONNECT THE DOTS

George Offerman

I have been given lots of feedback from various sources over the past few months concerning the topics I write about.  Many are disturbed by the fact I cover what would appear to be ‘non pro-life’ issues while still claiming to be a pro-life site.  While on the surface, this may look to be true, but in all reality, it is those who want to ‘compartmentalize’ that are short changing themselves and not seeing the whole picture.  Whether one likes it or not, or wants to admit it or not, life is much interconnected, and nothing exists in a vacuum, including our faith and actions (or inactions) that back up this faith.

It is true that we must do all we can for our unborn brethren, but we need to understand first and foremost that legalized child killing and all the surrounding structures supporting it is a spiritual battle.  So in order to ‘exercise this demon’ one must successfully get to the root cause of the evil.  Simply focusing on legalized child killing in a vacuum will not lead to the necessary changes in the law to stop this, but looking at the big picture and understanding what causes legalized child killing to exist in the first place is what is needed.  And the cause of legalized child killing is money.

We can see clearly that our society is obsessed with money and how to get more of it.  We can tell ourselves all we want that being pro-life is to “educate and change hearts’ but we already know 47% of the population is ‘bought off’ by those controlling the goodie bag.  We know that others work certain jobs (like the government) in order to collect paychecks and benefits while doing the minimal amount of work to get this.  We know that those who are in charge of the educational system (and some churches even) preach the gospel of scarcity, and fill our heads with the sick notion that our world is overpopulated, and resources are scarce.  We don’t have enough to take care of those already here, so how can we possibly take care of those not born yet?   With this thought process quite entrenched in our system, there is no chance in hell of ending legalized child killing by simply seeing this as some aberrant law without a root cause.

This spiritual battle manifests itself by controlling the issuance of money, and those that control the money, also control the whole system.  The system is infected with the idea that the global population is too large, and that overlords are needed to oversee the proper utilization of resources in order to stop the ‘stupid masses’ from overconsumption and extinction.  Deliberate debauchery of the currency by the money powers only reinforces this perception, and the average person blindly believes and parrots back to others this evil creed.  Scarcity everywhere and not enough money to pay for it.  Eliminate those who are unnecessary!  Everyone run scared and know your future will be worse than the present due to SCARCITY OF RESOURCES!!!

These people have done a splendid job of convincing the uneducated masses that man and not God has the solutions to our problems.  And man’s solutions always involve resources and production flow towards the very few.  If one takes time to notice, the stream of things going on mysteriously flow consistently in one direction: taking away rights and wealth from the masses and concentrating them into a few privileged hands.   As more is taken away, it follows that there is less to have for the rest, and it makes no sense to continue adding to the numbers of people if there is less and less to go around.  Legalized child killing will never be outlawed as long as we do not address this root cause, and all the wishful thinking in the world will not change that fact.

So, the next time you hear of another nation crashing financially, or hear about ‘peak oil’ or the ‘climate change’ taking place, or food shortages, or how much it costs to keep seniors alive the last few weeks of their lives, or how we will never be able to pay off our debts, just remember that all of these ‘crises’ are man-made and controlled by the elite.  And as long as we the people buy into this BS, there is not a chance that these people will allow the population to grow larger.  This godless and sociopathic run system is geared for destruction of the masses.  This not only includes the unborn, but unfortunately most of the born.

IT WILL HAPPEN TO US TOO

George Offerman

The recent developments in Cyprus cannot be overlooked, minimized or ignored.   It is the first time in modern history that a bank, through the protection of the government, literally stole the people’s own money out of segregated accounts to bail out the criminal banksters in order to secure a ‘guaranteed’ loan from the EU.  And to enforce this wide open thievery, the government imposed a 100 euro per day limit on ATM withdrawals to stop any potential bank run.  This blatant move and open thievery by the government is a very open statement concerning what the government really thinks of the people’s assets: they are ours for the taking at our bidding.

Now, many here in the U.S. have openly scoffed at the idea of our government doing the same thing.  They believe that we, in the land of the free, would never have such an action taken against us, and that somehow, the economy will get back on track, and life as we have become accustomed to will continue to plod on without any pain or suffering, and without the problems of some’ third world backwards country”.  Little do most Americans know, but we have the ‘grand daddy’ of debt here and put the whole Euro zone to shame concerning the sheer amount of dollars owed.   It is not our turn simply because the dollar is the reserve currency of the world.

Most people have no understanding of what money is, yet even fathom where it comes from.  In the current system, the Federal Reserve creates dollars out of nothing, and lends them to our government for interest payments.  Since these dollars have no backing of gold or silver, an unlimited amount can be ‘manufactured’ and lent out, until the interest becomes so overwhelming, that the scheme comes crashing down, as the people no longer have the ability to pay their debts.   But before it gets to this critical point, the powers that be will do to us what just happened in Cyprus; they will try to convince us that if the banks fail, the economy will hopelessly implode and all will be lost.

If people truly understood the nature of money and what it really is, the crashing of the fiat paper system would be the most beneficial event that could occur.  I am not saying at all that it will be easy and not involve a lot of short term pain, but it will free those who want to produce and allow them a fair opportunity to better their lives and to pass on the fruit of their labors.  We have watched the dollar lose nearly 99% of its value since the creation of the Federal Reserve 100 years ago, and we can also see through the geometric progression of the debt, that we will never pay off the obligations we have made.  The current crop of politicians don’t have the guts to make the cuts necessary, and have grown accustomed to taking from the producers and giving to the consumers.  The last vestage of money left for these crooks to steal is in retirement accounts, bonds, and yes, bank accounts.

If one takes the time to study and understand the banking system, they will quickly come to the conclusion that banks are the most inefficient and most usurious ‘industry’ that exists.  Banks do two things only: 1) make loans and collect interest, and 2) store money safely for the people.  When banks make loans, they need collateral, or deposits on hand.  If there is a run on the banks, and too many deposits are withdrawn, loans cannot be made, or existing loans may have to be called in.  When this happens, a crash occurs.  Banks will do anything in their power to avoid this situation, including getting the heavy hand of government to enforce their access to money, even if it means directly stealing the deposits of those they are supposed to be protecting. 

Given that banks have participated in bad loans, as well as playing derivative games, they have in essence passed on their bad debts to the consumers through bailouts at taxpayer expense, as well as now openly stealing assets they are entrusted with, all with the blessing and backing of the government.  The two reasons for the existence of banks are now invalidated, and as such, should no longer be allowed to exist.  Yet the banksters, through the government and lackey MSM, has nearly everyone convinced that the ‘too big to fail” banks will end life as we know it if allowed to fail.  So those charged with watching out for the little guy are in collusion with the thieves and those responsible for our current economic conditions, and the stage is being set for these sociopathic criminals to walk scot free, and blame this mess on whatever flavor of the month opportunity comes their way.

We don’t need the modern banking system as it is today.  It has lived beyond its usefulness, and for those paying attention, it is time to get your ASSETS out of them.  Don’t allow yourself to be victimized by a group that salivates at the thought of getting your hard earned money through lies and deceptions.  Fight back and get out of the system as much as you possibly can, and that at least will give you a better position to survive once these people finally play the hand they are waiting to do.   

YOU CAN'T TRUST THESE GUYS

George Offerman

It seems that every time I leave the country for a spell, some very important matters occur that has the potential to be ‘game changers’.  But before getting to this ‘game changer’ I have to comment briefly on another successful beer trip to Belgium.  Spent a week on a tour sponsored by Ale Street news, and this writer at least drank in moderation while spending most of the time with the brewers asking detailed questions pertaining to the differing brew processes they used.  We were also fortunate enough to have acquired a significant number of Westvleteran 12 that are nearly impossible to get, and this particular brew has been voted number one in the world for several years running. 

So upon returning to the states, it was rather intriguing that the story of the government’s purchase of 1.6 billion hollow pointed rounds finally garnered some traction in the news.  It is incredible that it takes members of congress to get the proper attention on this issue, but it is even more incredible that it took so long for any of the law makers to even question what the DHS is doing with their funding, which Congress happens to control.  Maybe the real deal concerning the attention finally being paid to this issue is that enough patriots complained to their ‘representatives’ that required this issue to finally come out of the sinister shadows of this very secretive and dangerous government.

It is also amazing that despite the efforts and letters of 15 congressmen to DHS demanding explanations, one is not forthcoming, and the pitiful explanations by low level staffers is laughable and way off the mark.  After all, aren’t these agencies by law accountable to Congress to begin with?  Yet they seem to be acting in the same rogue fashion as the top dog Obama and believe they can do whatever they want whenever they please.  No accountability with any intention of being accountable to anyone.  If the average citizen behaved in this fashion, they most likely would be on the receiving end of one of these hollow pointed rounds.

One of the explanations proffered by a low level bureaucrat is the numerous RFP’s do not actually purchase 1.6 billion rounds, but simply refer to the ‘top end’ of purchases that add up to this number.  However, this does not explain why DHS has any need of round one of hollow pointed rounds, given the use of these rounds in war are illegal by the Geneva Convention.  This is a pathetic attempt at covering up what the government is really up to, and it is amazing that they believe they can get away with outright lies or by simply being silent on this matter.

The arrogance of this rogue government should be a massive clue as to what they are really up to.  We supposedly live in a constitutional republic, in which the government is accountable to us and those elected are supposed to represent our interests.   It is becoming quite clear that this government is set upon doing whatever they believe they need to do to survive and keep their power.  This includes making war on the people.  Why else would the social security administration find it ‘necessary’ to order nearly 200,000 hollow pointed rounds?  To shoot recipients making too much?  To go after those who are committing fraud?  When has ANYONE been shot by the SSA for any ‘crimes’?

People, it’s time to wake up and see what is going on around you.  This is not the time to be asleep and believe things will go on as they had over the past several decades.  We live in dangerous time in which the government resembles more of a tyrannical monster than what was intended by our founding fathers.  This government is doing things that ought to be scaring the hell out of anyone who is paying the minimal amount of attention, yet most continue on in their sleepwalking state.  How sad, and the time is running out to do anything about it.

YOU TELL ME

George Offerman

Catholics cannot help but feel somewhat overwhelmed or at least wonder what is going on concerning the resignation of Pope Benedict, the first one in over 600 years.  Of course, there is a lot of speculation on this matter, and in many senses of the word, it doesn’t really matter what the reasons are, because it is what is currently going on behind the scenes that seems to be taking on a life of its own.  Regardless of Pope Benedict’s health, the odds were that had he continued on in the Papacy, his time may have been very short lived anyway.  This is in no way an attempt to disparage the Pope, but merely to point out how the times have changed, and even matters that appeared to be written in stone are subject to change in these strange times.

I’ve been a follower of the prophecies of St. Malachy since I first was introduced to them by my pastor while in high school.  I was in the beginning stages of studies in Revelation, and my pastor told me about these prophecies when I told him that I believed I would live to see the fulfillment of Revelation in my lifetime (such youthful foolishness).  I found them intriguing, but remember thinking that someone had made them up recently to make them look accurate and then credited them to some guy that lived over 700 years ago.  I was most intrigued with the last Pope, who would be known as “Peter the Roman”.  I thought that there would be a good possibility that I would be alive to see this, given John Paul II had just taken the Seat of Peter, and we only needed two more popes after that.  But more importantly, I remember thinking this is a fairly specific prophecy, and St. Malachy would have to nail this one perfectly before I would believe in this.

Fast forward 35 years.  We now have a cardinal from Ghana named Peter Kowodo Applah Turkson who appears to be the ‘frontrunner’ in the upcoming conclave to elect a new Supreme Pontiff.  Despite being from Ghana, Turkson studied in the United States, and finished his Theological Studies in Rome, earning the nickname “Peter the Roman” from his native Ghanaians. On top of that, Cardinal Turkson has come out with a comprehensive plan on how to deal with the many dissenting factions and social problems that many in the church are looking for.  However, all is not rosy concerning Cardinal Turkson, as noted in this Wikipedia entry:

In October 2011 Cardinal Turkson called for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises. The document, Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of a Global Public Authority was very specific, calling for taxation measures on financial transactions. It notes that “The economic and financial crisis which the world is going through calls everyone, individuals and peoples, to examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence,” it said. The document condemned what it called “the idolatry of the market” as well as a “neo-liberal thinking” that it said looked exclusively at technical solutions to economic problems. “In fact, the crisis has revealed behaviors like selfishness, collective greed and hoarding of goods on a great scale,” it said, adding that world economics needed an “ethic of solidarity” among rich and poor nations.[11][12]   Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Turkson 

Read below St Malachy’s prediction for the last pope:

The prediction in full is "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.  The end”

We have the potential for a major conflict as Pope Benedict abdicates the Seat of Peter in about 2 weeks.  Soon, we will know if those in the Vatican, that have been trying to warn the laity and other clergy that dark forces have infiltrated and are on the verge of total control over the church are right.  Either way, we are entering a very dark period of time in world history, and it is way past time to remain vigilant and in constant prayer asking the Lord to reveal his will to us.
