If It Don’t Make Sense, It Don’t

[Podcast] (31 Minutes) – Why was there a need to “cheerlead” the economy in years past? A Friend of Medjugorje talks all about it, and it helps us to understand why Trump is doing what he’s doing now. If the tariffs crash the economy, is that necessarily bad?

[NARRATOR]

“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.

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

All of the news right now is about Trump’s tariffs.

Some people are for them, and some people are against them, but most people don’t understand the system we have been operating has to go away. It has to crash.

What you are about to hear is an excerpt from a Mejanomics broadcast on November 3, 2011. That’s fourteen years ago. I titled the broadcast, If It Don’t Make Sense, It Don’t.

This will make sense of why the system has to crash.

Maybe it’ll be a soft landing.

Maybe it’ll be a hard landing.

But the system, as we know it now, has to go away.

This excerpt is not dated. This helps us to what’s happening today, why it has to happen.

[THEME MUSIC]

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE – NOVEMBER 3, 2011]

One cannot understand the present economic woes without connecting it to the Bible which states, “Live My commandments, and your grain bins will overflow.”

One cannot understand the present economic woes without connecting it to our fallen morals.

If you live God’s way, you prosper. He feeds you. He clothes you. You just heard the verse. This is not a prosperity doctrine. That’s different. In other words, you’re going to give this in order to receive something else. What you give to God is the living of the morals, His principles, the Christian walk, His commandments. And He takes care of you. He’ll fill your grain bins.

It’s not, I’ll give something and I get back something a hundredfold. Yes, you give a cup of water, the Bible says you’ll be repaid a hundredfold. But a prosperity doctrine is giving something in return that you’re going to expect to prosper back. “I’m going to do this so I can get a new car.”

So, sometimes people think, “Well, there’s poor people.” But God feeds the poor people. They suffer, and famine comes as a result of not living the commandments. We hear often about famine in African places like that. But they have the highest AIDS rate in the world. It’s astounding. The witchcraft that takes place there, the things that go on. The Church has many vocations coming out of Africa. But the Church is also concerned. The Vatican’s concerned about how it’s mixed with voodoo and things like that. So, these things have an effect.

So, we have to take it to the bank—not our gold, our silver, our money—but we take to the bank the fact that we have to live God’s commandments. We have to bring culture back to the commandments. People say, “Oh, that’s a theocracy.” Well, was the United States and its birthing a theocracy? Was Australia, when it was birthed into a Christian nation, a theocracy? To be based in Christian laws is to make it a theocracy. The government’s not running religion.

And so, we’re losing. We’re losing everything as we know it. We’re losing the culture as we’ve lived it. And it’s passing. And it is falling apart, quote, unquote. And you can take that to the bank.

[COC]

This comes from the author of the book Aftershock, and it was written in 2010, so it’s kind of sharing some of the things that they were seeing at that point in coming towards the future. It starts by saying,

“We are going through a series of popping financial bubbles led by a housing price bubble collapse, not a down financial cycle. Unlike a down cycle, which is naturally followed by an up cycle, a bubble pop isn’t followed by an up cycle. It simply pops, and any profit is gone forever.

“As this is being finalized for printing, we are being bombarded by the news that there are signs that the recession is coming to an end. Headlines from leading financial figures saying, ‘Bet on America,’ or ‘The Recession is Almost Over,’ are the norm. Of course, the assumption is that this slow down and decline presages an up cycle.

But even if the decline slows down or stops, and even if there is a small increase, the recession is not over for the long term. Saying the recession is over is more like saying, ‘Mission accomplished,’ before the real Iraq war even began. It’s hiding from the underlying problems that have been created by thinking we can ‘cheer-lead’ our way through it.

“The economy won’t bounce back. It is a bubble economy. With the popping of the housing bubble will go the consumer spending bubble, the private credit bubble and the stock market bubble, and then the dollar bubble, then finally the public debt bubble. It won’t all pop at once. It will pop over time. But it won’t bounce back, not very much, at least, before the popping resumes.

“Once the bubbles start popping, as they have with housing, it’s not over until the fat lady sings, and the fat lady is the dollar and its evil twin, the government debt bubble.

“More than any time since I was born, the United States is in denial of the truth. We are assuming that by cheerleading, we can solve our problems.

Even during the other eras when cheerleading in the face of reality was very popular, we still had major national figures who were willing to step in and give us a reality check. I don’t see it this time, not from any national figure on the left or the right.

We are extraordinarily confident in the power of cheerleading to solve our ills and hence so many of our national figures are simply cheerleading.

Yet, at the same time, we seem to be so confident, we also seem to be scared to death that something terrible is going to happen. We say this more by our actions than our words.

“For example, why is the Fed so worried that it would do something so reckless as to buy over $1 trillion of our treasury bonds with printed money?

That’s a big number to print in six months. And they have said they will buy even more if necessary to keep mortgage rates low. That means they’re willing to double our entire money supply—the size of the money supply is about $1 trillion—just to keep mortgage rates down a couple of points.

What are they so concerned about? We certainly didn’t worry about it that much in the last big recession in the early 1980s. In fact, interest rates were allowed to go over 15%. By the way the Fed is acting, you’d think the world would come to an end if rates went to 15%.

Why are they so worried now and they weren’t then? Maybe because, unlike what their cheerleading words are saying, they are concerned about a bigger problem. They are concerned that there aren’t nearly enough buyers for all that debt, either in the United States or overseas.

And that means the possibility of a failed treasury auction. And they know that, in this environment, that could be a big problem. Or maybe they realize that interest rates might pop up much more than a couple of percentage points to as high as ten percent. That would be devastating.

 

↓ Share your thoughts – It helps bring people to conversion ↓

 

“High interest rates weren’t devastating in the early 1980s because we didn’t have a housing bubble. Now, we have a housing bubble, and high interest rates would absolutely puncture much of what’s left of that bubble and put enormous pressure on the other bubbles in the economy, private credit, discretionary spending, stock market, dollar a public debt.

“Maybe, subconsciously, they and others outside the Fed realize that it is a bubble economy, and that is why the Fed and others are trying so hard to cheerlead, and that is why they are so willing to do things like printing massive amounts of money to buy our own government’s bonds, something they never would have considered only a year ago.

Because, in a bubble economy, cheerleading does help for a while. Because the economic fundamentals are bad, the only thing holding up the bubbles is confidence that they won’t pop. When that confidence fails, the reality of the bad fundamentals comes blazing through.

And again, few people talk about the very real problems of taking such irresponsible actions as buy our own bonds with printed money. ‘Nah. It’s just a smart strategy of quantitative easing.’

Many say, ‘The Fed knows exactly what they’re doing and can handle any inflationary problems down the road.’ Both the right and the left seem to have great confidence in the Fed’s abilities to handle such problems.

“However, I don’t think they have confidence, so much as they know, in the back of their minds, that the Fed is in a desperate situation that requires desperate solutions. They simply hope that they won’t cause problems too big to solve. But of course, they will.

“Same for the huge deficits we are running for stimulus programs. The cheerleaders say, ‘No problem there. Sure, long-term, we’ll have to deal with a problem, but it’s nothing we need to worry about now. It’s not nearly as important as the need to throw money at the economic problems we have now.’

“Both Republicans and Democrats seem to strongly agree on these points. Both conservatives and liberals seem to think that government has tremendous power to solve economic problems.

Yet, that has not been proven in the past. The reality is that the government has two main economic powers: the ability to print money, and a credit card with a much, much higher limit than you or me.

But printing a lot of money really will cause inflation, and their credit card is not limitless. The reality is that the government’s power to solve economic problems right now is really quite limited, and ultimately, when the government acts too recklessly, it actually becomes the source of the biggest economic problem of all, when the government debt bubble pops.

“Despite all the cheerleading, people seem to know we are in a very dangerous situation. They don’t want to talk about it, but they know the danger is there. As one of my friends who works at a major hedge fund in New York said, when I was talking about the dollar bubble, ‘It’s the hydrogen bomb in the middle of the room.’

“It’s an eerie time, and I get an eerie feeling reading the news. It’s almost as if people know that America really does have a bubble economy and that an aftershock could happen.

“All the cheerleading, all the lack of concern over the Fed buying treasury bonds, no more talk about the moral hazard of bailing out large financial institutions, it all seems to point to one thing: that many people sort of know what we’ve been talking about is true.

They think that by not talking about it, somehow it will go away, like Bernie Madoff thinking he won’t get caught. He fooled investors in the SEC so many times before. He expected he could fool them again.

We’ve gotten away with all these bubbles so far, and it’s never caused us much problem until recently. In fact, just the opposite. It’s given us one of the best economies we’ve ever had. So, we expect nothing bad will happen.

“Of course, that plan of action has never worked before, and it won’t work now. It’s time to talk about it. A lot.

“We are in for a whale of a ride. Don’t let the ride surprise you.

“As an eagle scout, I can say to investors with no greater conviction that you should follow the scout’s motto: Be prepared.”

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Our Lady said, “Be ready.” “The signs of the time, my children, look around, look at them.”

She says, “God wants to speak to you through nature, through man, through various other ways.” (March 15, 1990) What else do you need?

Three or four years ago, when the economic decline hit, I saw a billboard in downtown Birmingham say, “Recession? We’re not participating.” Signed by Karl Marx real estate or something like, “This is a lie.” He lied, they lie.

You can’t go through the day dealing with business and things that’s going on without somebody twisting or tweaking a little bit or being silent about what they should tell you, be it products, the news, politics. We’ve become a culture of lies. And nobody says anything about it. Our Lady brings simple truths.

So, think about it. They use psychological tricks, like this billboard, to make you borrow money or to make you buy or make you purchase.

We just heard about the super cookies that’s in computers monitoring how you go, what you look at, what you’re thinking about and what prompts you to buy. It’s a spy inside your own personal information.

Is that not a lie? Why aren’t people raising their arms about something like that. What if someone came into your house and went through your personal files, your birth certificates and things like that and left? And took that information and used it! Is that thievery?

Oh, because it’s something else, or in another context, we don’t see it as the same thing. They’re stealing information that’s private. You didn’t give permission to that.

What kind of culture do we live in? A lying culture, a false culture, a culture because it’s not based on truth, and Our Lady’s coming to establish truth, one’s going to lose, one’s going to win. You put your bet, who you think you’re going to win on. And as Our Lady’s children, of course that’s Our Lady. What happens to the other? It’s defeated.

It’s crushed underneath Her feet! You don’t look at Her that way, but look at the statue! The evil one is crushed underneath Her feet! It’s in the Field here. It’s in your Church! Look at the statue.

The serpent’s underneath Her feet. “She shall crush your head.” She’ll crush the lie. She’ll reverse Eve’s lie and what she accepted. She reverses that with the first Adam, of what Jesus, the second Adam, reversed, and Her the second Eve.

So, we have now zero interest rates. Is that a lie? It’s a lie! What’s the purpose of that for? Banks in the business to make money. Why do we have—ask yourself—why are they making zero interest rates? The article just sat there and sad “cheerleading.” This billboard, “Recession? We’re not participating.” That’s cheerleading.

People must not be borrowing money. They must be listening to this show.

They must be listening to Crown Financial. They must be listening to Dave Ramsey and a hundred other people. We don’t want to say it is just what we are putting out

But what we are putting out is a different angle that they’re not. And we are saying and going further than what they may be saying.

But they are good contributors to changing the culture. Even if they are not based in the messages because they are presenting some truth, some balance to what is taking place. Even if not all what they say is true. ‘Cause Dave Ramsey says still invest in real estate. I believe in investing in real estate. I think it is part of the messages to get you a piece of land, but not to make money off of it. To live by it.

Everything is geared in the culture to make money. To make money off of this, to make money off of that or do this as a good investment.

Your best investment is when you can raise your children, they can put a roof over their head. They can feed themselves and get to Heaven. That is the supreme investment. You don’t need anything else.

And you get that by being connected to the Commandments and living that. And your grain bins will be full. And you will eat and you will have your hog and you will have your porchutta. And you will have all your hamburger. You’ll have whatever you want.

Will there be some hard times? Yes, because that brings us to our knees. God requires the bird to get out of his nest at 5 AM to get the worm. He’s got to dig for it.

God made the worm, He put it there. He’s got to go find it. Man’s got to sweat by his brow, Genesis 3:15. “By the sweat of your brow you shall eat.”

But God will prosper him in that. He’s not to give and live immorally and say, oh I’m going to give this to the church and I expect this back from the church, a hundred-fold.

The real prosperity doctrine, not the one that is titled that, is you live the Commandments and you be righteous. You live holy for God and He will live holy for you. W-h-o-l-e, not h-o-l-y. Holy, fullness, you’ll be given all you need in wholeness if you live holiness.

And so, we have this lie, to zero interest rates in some places, so you borrow. They want you to borrow. They don’t want you to know the truth that gold is the king’s exchange. That silver is the gentlemen’s. That bartering is the peasant’s. And debt is the slaves. That is his exchange.

And most of the country, most of the world, take their steps by debt. You might have to do something like this to get started. But you run from it as quickly as…and I’m not advocating that.

I’m advocating what we used to do. You get married, you live in a basement of the house of your parents. Right there, you start cutting your trees and start sawing them. Find some plot of land. Do something.

Just think. Don’t do nothing and be blame-minded. We’ve got to start acting. We’ve got to start thinking. And we’ve got to really start incorporating into our whole world, that underneath your roof is your world, because when it falls apart, your world falls apart.

It is not in Iraq. It’s not somewhere else. It’s not in Timbuktu.

Your whole world is in your roof, underneath your roof, with your whole family. That’s the world.

And if you take care of that and you prosper that world and you make it moral, you live the way God’s Commandments teaches, then the whole world becomes that way because you will be the luminary light for your neighbor, [who will say] “Oh, I wish my family was like that. I want to imitate that.”

People are seeking that. They are seeking truth. They are looking for everything.

And you are that truth. And everything in your life needs to come into truth.

Everybody has their little stash or trying to at least have some stash; their little money, their little investment, their little whatever they have done.

 

↓ Share your thoughts – It helps bring people to conversion ↓

 

And that is the purpose that we made and stamped out the Miraculous Medal into a one-ounce silver piece, that we call the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Round, for the purpose of bringing conversion with your little stash.

That when that stash is spend for a car, or groceries, or whatever you have to get or use it for, or buying land later when you’ve got the time to really adequately study your area that you want to live in. Put your roots down in and release those rounds. They go in the hands of all kinds of people.

Those who aren’t living the Commandments. Those who aren’t following God. Those who don’t know God.

Those who, like in the book, It Ain’t Gonna Happen, our buddy Clyde, who got the Miraculous Medal. And you have to read the book to get the rest of the story, that the many, many Clyde’s out there in the future that will convert.

Our Lady said that. The Miraculous Medal does that. Carry it. Pray for the conversion of those who carry that. They don’t have to be believers to carry it.

They have to have some motivation to carry it. A one-ounce silver piece round, dispensed through how you exchange it back for cash to go buy what you need to buy or directly, which is then dispensed to somebody else out on the streets for some reason, however they got it.

And they’ll get it because it has worth. Everything of worth people cherish and keep, but they have no connection nor knowledge of why it was made. And they convert.

Our Lady said pray for those who carry it.

She upped the ante in 1989, to Marija when She gave this special message. She made the Miraculous Medal more powerful.

And so, we’ve had this and then we’ve got the knowledge of the economic side of things of why people should do this.

We’ve got one trillion dollars which is available money, according to the article that said that they are going to double that and print money to two million.

How does that calculate out at the grocery store that a dollar bottle of Tabasco sauce, which is like silver to us here, at Caritas. That is going to come to two dollars.

Because it doesn’t. You go down today and it’s not two dollars today.

In other words, what it’s worth is what its worth. It is the same production of labor, the same glass that goes in the jar, the same hot peppers that go into tabasco sauce bottle. It’s the same.

When you double your money supply, you just have this inflationary factor that comes into it, that basically doubles your money.

You double your money supply, you double the price. It’s all going to go up.

You see it going up now. And it’s really because of the money supply has been increased.

Because its built-on paper, it’s not there, just like when you buy silver and keep it on paper, that physical silver doesn’t exist.

And we’ve said it before, but we want this drilled into you that 550 million ounces per day are traded of silver.

Only 2 million are mined. One million of those goes basically into industry. And one million is traded or bought physically.

That is what the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Round comes out of that million ounces a day.

We take that portion out of that and exchange your dollars for exchanging that.

You’re not buying anything. You are exchanging your dollars which really are, the value of them is going to be, half in half if we double the printing of the money, quantitatively easing.

We do that, we’ve cut that in half and so the exchange and the purpose in getting the silver is because that is what God has made and it’s the way to store your labor, just like you store a can of beans, or you store anything else.

You are putting it in reserve. You are not hording it. The purpose is not for that. The purpose is to use that because you’ve got to put it somewhere. It’s either in the banking account, saving account, stock investment, someplace, you’ll put it someplace if you have any extra. You don’t have to just pay your bills. Or if you are in debt, it takes or steals it from you, through interest.

But you put it in something and put into something that God made.

And then when you put it into something that God made, you bring also the dual-purpose of conversion with it.

All this silver is two markets, the physical and the paper.

Its false. Don’t dare buy that and don’t dare buy secular silver.

I mean, even physical.

You buy it with a seeking God’s Kingdom first for some good to come out of it.

I want to define that over and over and over so that people can’t say we are doing something out of the realm of the messages.

This is in complete harmony with it. I’ve no problem with it.

People who have done it are in peace because they know they have gone God’s way, living according to His way.

And what He made. The Bible is full of quotes about silver. And not always negative.

It’s the love of it that’s the problem, not having it is a problem.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

When you go back and listen to something like this broadcast, it refreshes your memory and how bad things really were. Me hearing it, myself, it refreshes me, and I said it.

The Ramseys and people like that that gives advice, they hit some of the targets, but they don’t have Our Lady.

The solution is Our Lady, Queen of Peace of Medjugorje. You and I are in the arena.

No one has given the solution, but only from what you are hearing from here because we base everything in prayer and the messages of Our Lady.

Almost for 40 years I’ve been in there.

Many people are in fear that Trump may crash the economy, which he may be trying to do.

And the best security you have is Our Lady’s Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Silver Round.

[ANNOUNCER]

And the purpose of the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Silver Round is a Friend of Medjugorje just mentioned to you just now is to the secure your means of exchange until you get to the simple way of life that he mentioned in the broadcast today.

About get your piece of land and make it a place where you can provide for your family, for your future generations.

That is the real security with Our Lady and the messages.

To obtain the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Silver Round, you can contact Century Silver Exchange, toll free, 877-936-7686. Again, that’s 877-936-7686.

You can also visit centurysilver.com. Click on contact or send an email to in**@***********er.com.

And to conclude tonight’s broadcast, we will go back again to the excerpt from November the 3rd, two thousand and eleven, titled, “If It Don’t Make Sense, It Don’t.”

Here is a Friend of Medjugorje:

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

And I had a friend that called me from school days whose way up in his whole career has been in banking.

Way up in the bank he is in, big bank.

He said he read parts of the book. And he said in reading it that he understands it.

And that’s one thing I thought we might have trouble with, the bankers.

But they get it. What is written in It Ain’t Gonna Happen, they say this is dead on and he says, “How do I get the silver?”

So, when you have the bankers calling, I don’t mean the teller or somebody that is just in a bank manager, I’m talking about meeting with the CEO or meeting in the board room in nationwide banks, what does that tell you? And why are they calling here?

Because we have no vested interest other than your interest. That is the purpose of this, to get you into a spiritual life where you can live God’s 10 Commandments and where you can have grain bins, be they small or large, for whatever type of agrarian life you are living.

And that doesn’t mean you have to quit being your occupation or you are a doctor or whatever you may be, a surgeon, what you do.

But we’ve got to be connected closer to what God deemed for us and not be dependent on man to give to us who is basically living the lie of the culture, that he’s going to be able to support us.

Build your own system. Not dependent on man, but independent of man, independent of man and dependent on God.

Let Him bring the rain for your crops or your food. Not the truck at the grocery store.

That’s passing. That’s falling apart. Our Lady’s words. Unquote.

We are coming to a fulfillment of what Our Lady has says, although She said January 8th, 1987, She said:

“…now has come a time when what our Lord wanted is fulfilled…”

 

I remember reading that message and was shocked, that uh-oh, Medjugorje is about to be over. But see, Our Lady is not seeing this in decades of time.

She is seeing this that when this is over it is all passed.

A headache that you had two years ago, are you hurting from it now? No.

You have the memory of it. It doesn’t bother you now.

And so, the time that we passed through all this time that we are going through now is going to go, just like that. It will be on us, and it will be at the end.

So, you need to act now. You need to look at the messages because the time is coming when Our Lord, what He wanted through these apparitions are going to be fulfilled.

And so, we will talk to you next Thursday.

We look forward to that and whatever will happen between and then.

We wish you Our Lady. We love you. Good-bye.
