“No one can serve two masters. He will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life– what you shall eat or drink– or about your body– what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
“Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sow or reap. They gather nothing into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you, by worrying, add a single moment to your life span?
“Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wildflowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will He not much more provide for you, oh you of little faith?
“So do not worry and say, what are we to eat? Or what shall we drink? Or what are we to wear? All these things the pagans seek. Your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
“But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.”
This is Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
May 2, 2014, Our Lady said:
“…I your Mother am with you for the sake of your wellbeing…”
Then Our Lady says:
“…for the sake of your needs…”
What’s happening right now in the world? Its crashing on everything, from the schools, the colleges, the governments, the economy. And I find it very interesting that Our Lady says, “for the sake of your well-being,” and after that She says, “for the sake of your needs.”
When you wake up in the morning, what are your needs? What happens when you get hungry, what are your needs with that? What about clothing, shelter, everything in our life, the needs are in danger.
Down a few more sentences later, same message, Our Lady says:
“…Small is the number of those who understand and follow me. Great is the number of those who are lost…”
There are not a lot of things coming out of Medjugorje. In some ways, there is a hardness. We are coming on 43 years of apparitions. The interest is very weak.
When I first went to Medjugorje, you felt peace, physically, in the air.
The Communists were against it from the beginning and then more people came. They saw it as a good thing for Yugoslavia.
Because I started bringing people, they assigned me to a Communist. His name was Vasko. He was just like somebody right out of a movie. He treated me like a king.
Do you know why they did? Because their money, the denar, was crashing. It was losing almost 50% a day.
On my second or third trip, Vasko says, listen. We’ve got a special package for Americans to fly out of New York. They had some fancy hotels even then.
Yugoslavia has many ski resorts. They were so hungry for the dollar, they gave you five days, three days on the slopes.
You know, it’s expensive to do that, the hotel, meals and to fly out of New York to Dubrovnik. Everything was taken care of for only $275.00.
I asked him, what about the plane? That’s included. Everything. Two hundred and seventy-five dollars, five days, three days on the slopes, the hotels, they are 5-stars, it was an amazing thing.
And a lot of Americans started coming. But the denar kept crashing and the American dollar was king.
Even though they were Communists, they treated the Americans like royalty. Sometime after that, the crashing brought about war.
“…I your Mother am with you for the sake of your wellbeing, for the sake of your needs…”
Your future is going to be different from what you are doing today and last month and five years ago.
We are going into something, a very, very dark, extremely dark tunnel, and you won’t see light on the other side of it.
In many ways, Our Lady is being denied. Oh, it’s happening every day. What’s the big deal?
Our Lady wants your wellbeing, and to provide all your needs.
The whole world is heading to a crash.
We have a clip that you will have to listen to more than one time to get it into your heart and not deny what is coming and its very bad.
And because the numbers are so small, they are not following Our Lady. Even the Medjugorje people.
You are about to hear a writing titled, “The Five Stages of Denial When Skeptics are Faced with Economic Collapse.”
[NARRATOR]
The Five Stages of Denial When Skeptics Are Faced With Economic Collapse
by Brandon Smith, Alt-Market.us,
In light of the recent resurgence of inflation on top of increasingly rigged employments stats, declining manufacturing and stagnant wages I think it’s important to revisit a fundamental question: What does an economic collapse look like?
As I have said for years an economic collapse is NOT an event, it’s a process. When people think of a historic crisis, they usually imagine something like the stock market crash of 1929 at the beginning of the Great Depression.
However, there were numerous indicators and warning signs leading up to that crash that should have tipped people off. There were even a handful of economists that voiced concerns about impending instability, yet they were ignored.
Then, after the crash occurred numerous establishment economists denied that the system was in any real danger.
They continually claimed that recovery was “right around the corner”, but the recovery never materialized.
Instead, the crash spiraled onward for over a decade until world war erupted, largely because the Federal Reserve raised interest rates into economic weakness (a disaster they have openly admitted to causing and a policy they are instituting right now).
The point is, the mainstream “experts” are almost always wrong.
The skeptics of collapse either ignore the evidence or they don’t comprehend the implications of events. They don’t want to believe that the economy is broken and that consequences are possible.
They operate from the limited view of their own personal experience.
For most of their lives the system has functioned without catastrophe so that must mean catastrophe is impossible.
In truth, catastrophe has merely been deferred to a later date, not prevented.
Our present day predicament has not reached Great Depression levels yet.
We are currently in a stagflationary phase similar to what happened in the 1970s.
For those that think we have it bad now, the 70s were actually far worse.
House prices TRIPLED from 1970 to 1980 (the median house price was $17,000 in 1970 compared to almost $50,000 in 1980).
Annual inflation on most goods and services was in the double digits and the minimum wage was only $1.45 an hour.
Unemployment was high and interest rates were eventually hiked to around 20% by 1981.
The point is that these breakdowns in financial structures happen slowly, and then all at once.
Much like the buildup of an avalanche. For those that know history the signs are easy to see. For those that don’t, they’ll assume that all is well even when the house is burning down around them.
Another factor that makes people oblivious to the danger is the moving of goalposts; they get used to poor economic conditions and the decline is entrenched as the “new normal.”
For example, in 2015 the average house rental was $1100. Less than ten years later the average cost is $2150; that’s double the financial burden. But today this price is considered par for the course.
Nothing gets better, the situation only gets worse, but since it happens over a period of many years (the process of collapse) the public largely accepts it and will even accuse those of us sounding the alarm of “doom mongering.”
As with any collapse there eventually comes a point of popular intolerance – That moment where people finally realize that the “doom mongers” were right all along and that the weight of the implosion is too much to refute.
I believe we’re approaching that moment very quickly. In the meantime. Here are the five stages of denial that people go through before they admit that a fiscal calamity is upon them…
Stage 1 of Denial: “I Don’t Know What the Conspiracy Theorists Are Talking About – I’m Doing Fine”
There’s an old saying from the Great Depression that goes something like this: “It’s only a depression for the people without jobs.”
If you weren’t a part of the 30% unemployed in the US at that time, then in your narrow world the Great Depression might not have seemed all that bad.
In other words, people will ignore the sinking of the Titanic as long as they still have their own lifeboat.
I will say that this is a major problem in the midst of the stagflation crisis today, and it’s the root of what many Zennials are complaining about.
In their minds, this is the worst economy in history of the world and they blame “boomers” for their pain.
It’s really not (at least not yet), but it’s true that many “boomers” are going into the crisis with the advantage of time. They have had the time to build a lifeboat while Zennials have not.
It’s not about what’s fair, there’s no such thing as “fair” in economics.
But older Americans need to realize that even if stagflation is not a crisis for them personally, it is indeed a crisis for younger people in particular.
Any person still denying the reality of the collapse because “they’re doing fine” needs to shut up and take stock of the bigger picture.
Stage 2 of Denial: “They’ve Been Talking About Collapse for Years And We’re Still Here”
A lot of people out there have childish notions of what a collapse is, mostly derived from Hollywood films and television.
They imagine stock market mayhem, endless soup lines, mass starvation and even Mad Max-style destruction.
When these kinds of things do happen it’s always at the END of the collapse process, not at the beginning.
The former nation of Yugoslavia suffered through multiple inflation events before it finally exploded with balkanization and war. It didn’t happen overnight, but all the signs were there.
When analysts predict these events years ahead of time they are doing you a favor; they are giving you ample time to prepare.
Unlike the banking elites and their proxies who only warn the public right before (or right after) the crisis hits a peak.
Believe it or not I still see deniers arguing that all is well today, even after massive stagflation, attempted nationwide medical tyranny, multiple regional wars around the globe that could trigger WWIII, constant civil unrest, etc.
Is the threat of imminent death the only thing that will wake these people up to reality?
Stage 3 of Denial: “Maybe Things Are Bad Now but The Crisis Is Transitory, It Will Be Over Soon”
This is the stage in which deniers finally accept that there is indeed some instability, but they cope with the issue by claiming the storm will quickly pass and there’s nothing to worry about.
The thing is, they spent so much time trying to debunk the economists that were warning them they now fear being proven wrong more than they fear the crisis ahead.
It’s a kind of mental sickness common to our culture – The absolute refusal of a large percentage of Americans to admit being wrong and moving on.
It’s okay to be wrong sometimes. It’s not okay to be in denial about it.
The claim that a collapse is “transitory” is a way for skeptics overwhelmed by facts and evidence to continue dismissing reality.
If the economic decline doesn’t last very long, then they never have to concede defeat to the “conspiracy theorists.”
Stage 4 of Denial: “No One Saw the Crisis Coming”
I saw this argument thousands of times during the pandemic lockdowns and the initial inflation spike.
There were so many people raging about the circumstances and a lot of them were the types of people that used to deny that anything out of the ordinary was going on.
They started looking for scapegoats and they came up with the idea that there was no early warning.
If only someone had given them some kind of hint of what was about to happen, they would have prepared better, right?
The media and government officials tend to play into this stage of denial aggressively.
In other words, this is the moment they assert that “No one saw this coming.”
The event struck like lightning out of the blue. No one could have foreseen this outcome and there’s nothing anyone could have done about it.
Whenever I hear these arguments, I’m reminded of the movie trend in the early 2000s of global disaster flicks.
There’s always those scenes where the asteroid or the ocean wave or the tornado hits and we see thousands of people scurrying like ants, only to be crushed by a godlike force that they had no power to defend against.
I never liked those movies, but I recognize that they play into a hidden element of fatalism in the human mind.
There is a strange mechanism in some people’s thinking that wants to believe they have no power to change their circumstances.
They feel better assuming that the tides of fate are beyond their control and that there’s nothing they could have done differently.
In reality, all they had to do was listen and think critically and they could have prepared accordingly. Their pain is the result of their own ignorance and ego.
Stage 5 of Denial: “Everyone Saw the Crisis Coming”
Ah yes, the final stage of denial. This one is my favorite.
It is the inevitable moment when skeptics fully concede that the economic collapse is a fact of life and then they claim they “saw it coming all along.”
The inability for these people to admit they were wrong debases their ability to make informed decisions about the future.
They know a crisis is upon them and they’ll now pretend as if they knew it was going to happen.
Therefore, all the “conspiracy theorists” that tried to warn them are not special or better informed than they are.
Of course, you’ll never see any evidence of these skeptics (and many mainstream economists) actually predicting anything.
You will see them predicting the opposite and attacking anyone that suggest they might be wrong.
One wonders why it’s so important for them to avoid giving credit where credit is due and learning from their mistakes, but when a person’s identity is so wrapped up in being the “expert,” the idea of completely fumbling the ball on the biggest economic disaster of their lifetime is too much to bear.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Of course, we’ve talked about this for a long time and you might say, I’m not a denier. If you are not prepared, you are denying.
I have heard people tell me, well, when something happens, then I’ll deal with it.
How? You have to have a whole system. You have to have ground.
People say I’ve got the dried food that was stored up for twenty years.
Well, a few boxes of that are not going to last twenty years. You’re going to eat it.
That’s an illusion. It’s not reality.
It may be good for a storm and you [don’t] got electricity, or you can’t do for a couple of weeks.
The world is going to change. We are not going to be living what we are living now. Going down to the grocery store, going to Walmart. Forget all that stuff. It is going away because it does not glorify God. Are you taking that into your heart?
Are you changing what you can change now, immediately?
March 21, 1985, Our Lady said:
“…I call you, accept me dear children that it may go well with you. Listen to my messages…”
I’ve been talking to people in Medjugorje right now. And nobody is listening to the messages.
Our Lady has apparitions. Nobody is stopping except a few people.
Nothing has happened so far.
What you’ve just heard is clear. I started Century Silver for a purpose to help people.
We are going to have a commentary about what you just heard from Century Silver.
[CENTURY SILVER]
Everybody who is listening to this really needs to ask themselves seriously, am I in one of those stages of denial?
Are you a stage four denial person? Can’t admit that you’ve been wrong about all this?
Or are you one of those people in stage four that also says there is nothing I can do about it?
We’ve heard from those people before. I am too old. We talked to an 80 year old woman two days ago who’s pulling a half a million dollars out of the stock market.
She’s got land. She’s working with her kids. She’s doing stuff.
Are you a stage three person? Well, yeah, things are kind of looking bad now, but this is just transitory. Things are going to get better.
Or are maybe you’re a stage one person, which might perhaps be the most dangerous and the most irresponsible.
You are one of those people in stage one who has your nest egg of silver, maybe you’ve got a little bit of land, and so you say its not going to be so bad for me.
Bad idea. Over the last ten or twelve months at Century Silver, we’ve added about 20 new people per month to our mail list.
And we don’t call you and call these other people customers.
We call you partners because these are the people who have decided to partner with Our Lady in this unique collaboration that a Friend of Medjugorje decided to start in 2010.
He chose to partner with Our Lady and you’ve become a part of that.
So you’re not off the hook if you’ve got your silver. You are under an mandate from Heaven to spread this to other people.
And lots of people are doing that.
We’ve talked to a lady today who was referred by somebody else.
She’s probably 70 or 80 years old. We spent 10 minutes on the phone with her and she committed to ten thousand dollars just today.
So for those of you who are in denial, you need to get out of it and you need to start taking action.
For those of you who have your silver, who have your little plan, you’ve got to get out of the inactive state too and spread this to as many people as possible.
Earlier in the broadcast a Friend of Medjugorje said a lot of people feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
And in the read today, this guy compares with what is happening in the financial markets to an avalanche.
An avalanche has built up slow over time. The snow in an avalanche can reach 80 miles an hour and it covers people who get caught in this.
And the people who are stuck in an avalanche often times they get tumbled up so much that they cannot tell which way is up and which way is down once the snow stops.
A lot of people have dug five, ten feet only to find out that they’ve been digging downwards.
And whatever is coming in the future is going to flip us upsidedown, and turn us over, and we’re going to be scratching our heads, but there is a lot that you can do now to insulate yourself from that if you stop denying and you take some active steps like a Friend of Medjugorje has been telling you about for decades now.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Almost everybody is denying the denial. Its dangerous. And your future, its infallible because Our Lady says that.
What I’ve quoted many times. When I was with Ivanka, “satan has a plan to enslave you through materialism.”
That’s from Heaven. That’s 1989. What are you doing about it?
You have to make steps immediately.
You call Century Silver and punch every reason not to change your stocks, your retirements, what you’ve got in the bank, to get on the other side of the river.
Silver is a bridge to get your system.
[CENTURY SILVER]
Something you said a minute ago reminded me of what I think comes from the twelve step program for alcoholics.
And I could be wrong about this, but it went something like this that: the first step in the first step program is to admit that you’ve been in denial.
And again, I can’t remember where that came from, but there are plenty of you here listening right now who are in denial.
So we want everybody right now to either stand up or raise your hand and say it with me, “I’ve been in denial.”
Say it: “I am in denial. I am in denial but I’m not going to deny it anymore.”
And then your next step is to call Century Silver Exchange. You can reach us at 877-936-7686.
We’ve dealt with hundreds and hundreds of people in the last couple of years who have admitted to us, “I’ve been in denial but I’m not going to be in denial anymore and I’m acting.”
We’re not judging you. We’re here to help you right away and we will also give you as many free materials as you want to help other people to get out of denial and take the steps that they need to take so that they won’t be suffering greatly in the future.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
I’m going to be blunt. It’s stupid to keep your retirements, your 401ks, because you don’t want to pay taxes and a penalty. Your penalty is going to happen when it crashes, and you’ve got nothing. Now, you can pull it out.
[ANNOUNCER]
You have been listening to Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje. These broadcasts are to help expand your thinking. We encourage you to prayerfully look at the world around you and do not rely on the mainstream voices to tell you the truth. Do your own research. In perhaps no other area is it more important to research and to know how to preserve everything you have worked your life for.
A Friend of Medjugorje designed the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Silver Round to help preserve your means. You take your wealth, your savings, your 401ks and exchange them for real physical silver that you can hold in your hand. It is simple. It is common sense.
Since the round was first made available in 2010, over four million rounds have been exchanged by ordinary people like yourself.
The Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Silver Round is still the number one specialty round in the world.
The most common word heard after people get their Medjugorje Silver rounds is, PEACE.
Contact Century Silver Exchange, toll free, at 877-936-7686. Again, 877-936-7686. Or contact [email protected].
Now here is a Friend of Medjugorje to continue this broadcast.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
We’ve talked to you about August 5th, Our Lady’s birthday, and we invite you to be coming to the Field. Our Lady correcting Her birthday is not September 8th, its August 5th. And nobody has done anything about it in the Church.
It’s been ignored. So, you can call Caritas. We’ll give you some hotels where you can stay. We’ll do the 3rd, 4th, climaxing August 5th. There are some things happening right now because She’s told that in 1984, was Her 2000th birthday. Now here in 2024, its 40 years after that. Our Lady said in 1984:
“Never in my life have I cried with sorrow as I’ve cried this evening with joy. Thank you.”
So, we’re coming up to a major thing on this 40th, 40 years ago and things are heating up.
That celebration of 40 years and the conditions right now of the whole world, the first secret to be released may be coming after this birthday.
It’s a possibility because we need something to change what is happening.
We wish you Our Lady. We love you. We hope to get to see you August 5th. Goodnight.
