With around 40 million Americans or so unemployed and/or underemployed, Doug Casey put out the following:

Doug Casey: The Feds Will Blame the Depression on Coronavirus

The bailouts will create huge new distortions in the economy – on top of not allowing the old ones to be liquidated. And as you’ll recall, that’s one of the three definitions that I use for a depression.

The broadest one is it’s a period of time when most people’s standard of living falls significantly – that’s already happening, but it’s just started. We’re definitely in a depression, from that point of view.

A depression is also a time when distortions and misallocations of capital are liquidated. Well, they’re not letting them be liquidated. That will make the depression even worse when they finally are liquidated. This is really serious. This shutdown has created even more distortions, made worse by the government’s helicopter money.

I don’t see any way out of it, other than completely disengaging the State from the economy. But there’s no way that will happen at this point. The problem is greatly aggravated by everybody blaming the depression on the virus. The virus itself is basically a manufactured scam.

Globally, about 400,000 people die from the common seasonal flu each year. And I doubt that the virus will even get that high – it’s just over 300,000 globally now, even though the numbers are being inflated for political reasons. It’s a manufactured hysteria. The biggest one since the witch hysteria of the 17th century.

It’s a convenient excuse for the collapse of the economy. The economy would have collapsed anyway, because of all the distortions caused by the State. But now, they can blame it on the virus. Now they can say it’s really nobody’s fault. It’s not the fault of the government. It’s not the fault of the Federal Reserve. It’s just an act of God that came out of nowhere.

So this is perfect for the government. If I was them, I would look at this thing as manna from heaven. It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to them. Not to mention an excuse for a vast increase in State power. It’s better than 9/11, global warming, and the 2008 financial crisis combined. 05/15/20 https://www.caseyresearch.com/daily-dispatch/doug-casey-the-feds-will-blame-the-depression-on-coronavirus/

While many government officials may be pleased, what the USA is doing is not “perfect for the government.” As far as the global death count, some believe it is understated, though the Supervisor of San Diego County last week made a case for the COVID-19 deaths as massively undercounted.

Related to depression/recession matters, notice the following:

‘Tidal Wave’ Of Delinquent Mortgages Set To Surpass Great Recession

May 18, 2020

Moody’s chief economics, Mark Zandi, who said that as many as 30% of Americans with home loans – or around 15 million households, may stop paying if the US economy remains closed through the summer or beyond.

We assume that a large percentage of Americans refusing to return to pre-pandemic consumption habits would have similar effects.

“This is an unprecedented event,” said Susan Wachter, professor of real estate and finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in comments last month. She also points out another way the current crisis is different from the 2008 GFC: “The great financial crisis happened over a number of years. This is happening in a matter of months – a matter of weeks.” https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/tidal-wave-delinquent-mortgages-set-surpass-great-recession

Notice the solution that some have implemented and proposed:

We Can Prevent a Great Depression. It’ll Take $10 Trillion.

May 18, 2020

Last week, House Democrats unveiled their latest pandemic-relief package. The bill combines aid for families, a bailout for struggling cities and states, and additional funds for testing, tracing, and hospitals. The price tag is about $3 trillion—and it comes just weeks after the president signed an economic-relief package worth about $2 trillion.

Republicans have assailed the bill as a profligate wish list. Even Americans who are suffering from the health and economic ravages of the pandemic may feel a bit stunned by the dollar amount. Does the government really have to spend $5 trillion in three months? Can the United States afford to dump such unfathomable amounts of money into the economy?

The answers to those questions are yes and absolutely yes. …

Conservatives and others might balk at the $10 trillion figure, for its sheer largeness. But this is no time for meganumerophobia. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/05/we-can-prevent-a-great-depression-itll-take-10-trillion/611749/

It is wrong to print up money the government does not have. This practice has been done for thousands of years and the Bible condemns it!

This diluting of the value of currency (called “dross” anciently)–which is what the USA has been doing–and many want it to do more of–is condemned in the Bible.

4 Take away the dross from silver (Proverbs 25:4a).

22 Your silver has become dross, Your wine mixed with water. (Isaiah 1:22)

25 I will turn My hand against you, And thoroughly purge away your dross, And take away all your alloy. (Isaiah 1:25)

18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me; they are all bronze, tin, iron, and lead, in the midst of a furnace; they have become dross from silver. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 20 As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you. 21 Yes, I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst. 22 As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have poured out My fury on you.’” (Ezekiel 22:18-22)

Dross is what you can call ‘legal’ counterfeiting. Basically in ancient times, nations would produce coins that were supposed to be silver or gold. But to ‘stimulate the economy’ when those were in short supply, cheaper metals were used, and gold or silver would cover the coin. The coins would look like real money, but they were not.

That is basically what the USA has been doing and others want it to do more of that. Dross was a factor in the final destruction of the old Roman Empire. This is NOT good for the USA (see also Could the USA collapse because of ‘dross money’ like Rome?).

Although the Bible warns against using dross and diluting the money supply, many modern ‘experts’ have a different view. The wrong views on economics will lead to economic problems and ultimately the total crash of the dollar of the USA.

It will be much worse than most think.

The Bible warns, “be sure your sin will find you out” (Numbers 32:23). The Bible also warns that destruction will come in the end time to highly indebted nations (cf. Habakkuk 2:2-8).

There is a serious cost to having an economy pumped up with so much “dross” money.

There are disastrous changes that will come to the USA (Daniel 11:39; see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses)–and its debt and other monetary practices, which one day will cause massive hyperinflation–will be a cause (cf. Habakkuk 2:6-8; see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses).

But since many leading so-called ‘economists’ are political hacks and/or have a political agenda, do not expect too many prominent ones to have sufficient influence to resolve the problems in the USA.

Pat Boone reported about the US government’s printing money ‘solution’:

Our new national pastime: Printing funny money

Yes, we’re in the middle of an unprecedented crisis …

In a desperate effort to “bail out” or keep small businesses from simply vanishing, and to rescue temporarily millions of Americans who have lost their jobs, their livelihood, their ability to provide for their families – Congress and the president printed up almost 3 trillion dollars, backed by nothing but promises, and spread it out as best they could to the ones who needed it most.

Nice effort, crazy as it is – but now the House of Representatives is proposing printing up 3 trillion more useless pieces of paper to fund their political objectives, in the guise of “helping those out of work.” …

IF, starting right now and continuing into the second half of this year, millions of us fall on our knees, crying out earnestly to the God who created and gave us all we’ve ever had of real value, IF we make personal and corporate vows to seek Him again, pray to Him and pledge ourselves and our future to Him, and IF we mean it in our hearts, then Almighty God – Who, as our Declaration declares, created all men equal and endowed us with the right to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness” – just may rescue us one more time.

Printing 3 billion more meaningless pieces of paper money will only make the whole game worthless. 05/15/20 https://www.wnd.com/2020/05/new-national-pastime-printing-funny-money/

Yes, the USA needs national repentance. But printing up three trillion dollars more that the USA does not have is worse than worthless–printing money that the USA does not have will result in the end of the USA (cf. Habakkuk 2L6-8).

Notice something from NEO, a secular source:

Saying Goodbye to the Dollar

The widening gap between the current state of the U.S. economy and the role of the dollar is nearing a tipping point. As America’s economic power relative to that of other countries and regions is shrinking, this means that the dollar will hold less and less of a privileged position.

Until recently, the dollar had such an unrivaled dominance that more than 60% of all foreign exchange reserves in central banks around the world were held in U.S. dollars. …

The United States came out of both World War I and World War II as the world’s leading creditor … national debt is growing at a rate of $4 trillion a year. The U.S. has $ 200 trillion in unfunded liabilities, and the Federal Reserve holds nearly $7 trillion in increasingly risky and shadier assets. According to many experts, the galloping pace at which the U.S. federal deficit is growing and the uncontrolled printing of U.S. dollars could lead to economic implosion by the end of the year. This will not only deal the U.S. economy a blow, but it will also affect the economies of countries that have invested in U.S. stocks.

In a last-ditch attempt to push back the date of the impending financial apocalypse, the United States has printed massive amounts of money, which the American daily newsletter Bonner & Partners warns will inevitably lead to an economic disaster that will in many ways dwarf the Great Depression of 1929–1946. …

The Economist highlights that using the dollar to expand the scope of American law and policy has become President Trump’s mantra in “America first!”. Many countries understandably view this as an abuse of power. …

. Director Tom Keatinge of the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies at the RUSI think tank rightly notes that all of this would suggest we are nearing a “tipping point”. Countries used to stop at just expressing their dissatisfaction with America’s clout as the predominant financial power, but now they are beginning to go to the lengths to resist it.

Experts note that now not only do America’s geopolitical rivals want to avoid dollar dominance, so do many U.S. allies. In her manifesto for 2019-24, Ursula von der Leyen, the new President of the European Commission, said: “I want to strengthen the international role of the euro.” Her predecessor Jean-Claude Juncker has called the dollar’s dominance in European energy trade an “aberration”. As a result, the European Commission is now working on a new action plan, part of which involves encouraging EU countries to eliminate “undue reference” to the dollar in payments and trade. …

China could sell part of the US national debt and thereby trigger a crash in the US dollar.

It follows that the end of the dollar era is drawing closer with each day Washington continues to pursue its failed policy. 05/16/20 https://journal-neo.org/2020/05/16/saying-goodbye-to-the-dollar/

Many in the USA improperly believe that the Federal Government can continue to massively create electronic money to ‘bail out’ businesses, state and local governments, and citizens for what the lockdown and some of its other policies related to COVID-19 have caused.

What about Europe?

It is reeling from COVID-19 issues as well.

But it has NOT produced trillions of Euros of debt, at least not yet, for COVID-19.

Consider a story, I have reported here before:

There once was a movie that had two men camping outdoors. Suddenly, one man yells, “Run, a bear!” The other man yells back, “You can’t outrun a bear.” The first man responded with, “True, but all I have to do is to outrun you.”

The implication is that the first man only needed to be better in the sight of the bear than the second one, which presumably the bear would consider to be weaker, and then catch and destroy.

From an economic perspective, the story basically is that the debt and economic situation in Europe does not need to be perfect, only perceived to better than that of the USA to someday surpass it.

COVID-19’s reducing economic output and the USA government’s massively increasing debt–the USA dollar will one day be worth no more than the novelty and scrap value of it cotton-paper!

COVID-19 should be proof that the Anglo-American dominated world as we know it will not continue (watch also our latest video COVID 19 is NOT the End, but could it be TEOTWAWKI?):

3 … knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. (2 Peter 3:3-7)

The massive increase in debt is UNSUSTAINABLE. That means that things CANNOT CONTINUE as they have been. Biblical prophecies are coming to pass.

Do not live your life like the current world order will continue as it has. Bible prophecy says that it will not. Increasing levels of debt show that a debt bubble will one day burst and the USA (as well as its Anglo-Saxon descended allies will one day be no more).

Those who do not believe that the economy of the US can fail are ignoring reality.

The economy of the US is, at best, built on a foundation of sand, as debt is certainly not a rock to build upon.

Jesus taught:

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” (Matthew 7:24-27)

34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:34-36)

Are you watching, praying, and living your life to be accounted worthy? The Great Tribulation is coming.

“Great” will be the fall of the US.

Europe would like to replace the USA as the leader of the West.

Europe does NOT have to be perfect to do this, only perceived as a better option than the USA.

This time is coming and COVID-19 is accelerating this.

The Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video for our Bible News Prophecy program that you may wish to watch:

18:35

COVID 19: Prelude to a New World Order?

Could COVID-19 be a prelude to a better society, a better new world order? Some think so. Will the novel coronavirus kill the ‘New World Order’ that people like Pat Buchanon dread? Should we ‘beware of plans to build back better’? Are more in Europe looking for an authoritarian leader now? Will Europe get one? What does the Bible teach? What about the coming, ‘time of Jacob’s trouble,’ the Great Tribulation, and final ‘time of the Gentiles’? What did German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas say happened to European unity during this crisis? Does he want a multilaterial new world order that is not dominated by the United States and United Kingdom? Is Europe working towards implementing an end time Babylonian system that the Bible warns against, but that certain Catholic prophecies look forward to? Is the ‘great prince of the north’ the dreaded ‘king of the north’? Will he work with the final Antichrist? Will the coming European ’empire of the north’ destroy the strongest fortresses? Will the fortresses, the military strength, of the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand cease in accordance with the prophecy in Isaiah 17:3? Is Europe prophesied to reorganize and eliminate all republics? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this scripture filled analysis and commentary.

Printing dross money is NOT the salvation for the USA. Only Jesus and the Kingdom of God can be.

COVID 19 is NOT the End, but could it be TEOTWAWKI? The novel coronavirus called COVID-19 is wreaking havoc around the world. Many states of the USA as well as countries in Europe are on lockdown with shelter in place /shelter in residence requirements. In France, a form is required when you are not at your house. In Spain, drones are being used to warn people who are outside to got back to their homes–does that bring up feelings of ‘Big Brother’? Italy, France, and other areas are using police and/or military force to encourage people to stay inside. According to the Bible could this be the end? If not, what has to happen first? Have the second and third of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse started their ride? Could COVID-19 be the fourth horseman? Why or why not? Could we be seeing The End of the World as We Know It (TEOTWAWKI) like the R.E.M.’s 1987 single song discussed? Do Christians need to fear? What did Jesus teach? What did the Psalmist teach?

COVID-19 Leading to 666? The novel coronavirus of Wuhan, China fame, is now called COVID-19. It has also been called the ‘Coronapocalypse.’ Does COVID-19 have any prophetic ramifications? What did Jesus teach about pestilences and sorrows in the Olivet prophecy in Matthew 24? Could COVID-19 be the ride of the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse? Why was this type of disease expected according to the O. Here is a link to a version in the Spanish language: ld Testament prophecies in Deuteronomy and Leviticus? What has the US Centers for Disease Control warned about? What has the CDC reported about the flu? Were there lessons about fear and infections in the 2011 movie ‘Contagion’? Because of COVID-19, the World Health Organization (WHO), nation of Iran, and certain French locations are telling people not to use cash, but instead electronic forms of payment. The US Federal Reserve is now quarantining money repatriated from Asia to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus on US currency bills. Is COVID-19 worse than we have been told or could this all be a ‘false flag’ event to encourage people to move towards a cashless society? If the thousands of deaths associated with COVID-19 are pushing parts of the world towards cashlessness, how much more likely will the ride of the fourth horseman and over a billion human deaths motivate people to move to making electronic payments that can be monitored? The Bible tells of a soon coming society that controls buying and selling to force allegiance to a coming European Beast power, known as 666 (Revelation 13:16-18). Does the ‘great tribulation’ begin before ride of the fourth horseman or with the opening of the fifth seal of Revelation 6? Do the words of Jesus helps us better understand the sequence of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse and the start of the Great Tribulation? Will the ride of the fourth horseman help lead to the rise of 666? Is that ride very close? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video. Here is a link to a version in the Spanish language: El COVID-19 ¿Conduce al 666?
Biological Warfare and Prophecy Is biological warfare possible? Was it prophesied? Scientists have long warned that pathogenic organisms like the coronavirus could be weaponized. Furthermore, back in 2017, there were concerns that the biological research facility being constructed in Wuhan, China was risky and that a coronavirus from it could be released. On January 25, 2020, China’s President Xi Jinping publicly stated that the situation with the Wuhan-related strain of the coronavirus was grave. Did Church of God writers like the late evangelist Raymond McNair warn that engineered viruses (the “Doomsday bug”) were consistent with prophecies from Jesus? Did a warning from CCOG leader Bob Thiel warn about risks of genetically-modified (GMO) mosquitoes come to pass? Could human research and/or the consumption of biblically-unclean animals such as bats and snakes be a factor in current outbreaks or coming future pestilences? What about famines? How devastating have pestilences been? How devastating are the prophesied ones going to be? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.

The New World Order Is Leaving the US Behind Bloomberg reported that the New World Order is leaving the USA behind. Other secular news sources are also reporting the rise of a new world order and decline of the influence of the USA. What about NAFTA, the Paris Accords, TPP, TWO, and NATO? Russia, China, and Europe are all working towards reducing dominance of the USA. Is this consistent with biblical prophecy? When did the time of Anglo-American dominance begin? Will the coming world order be dominated by a European Babylonian power?
