The Emissary

The Bitter Cup

On March 20, 1971 the Lord's Angel appeared to me during my prayer time bearing a golden cup which the Angel presented to me, saying, "Take, drink; it will be bitter in your mouth, but sweet in your stomach." I received this golden cup and drank, and indeed it was bitter in my mouth, but lastly I was swept by a sweetness.

This Angel appeared with that Bitter Cup every day thereafter for more than a year.

I would come to know by the Spirit of God that this had to do with intense persecution. More I did not know. I was yielded to God's Will in this and continued receiving this Bitter Cup day after day for well more than a year's time.

and The Bitter Cu(continued) The Emissary It was just past mid-1976. My son, Stefan, was barely three months old as. I was just weeks away from gaining entrance to Trinity Lutheran Church to begin a time of prayer (3 hours each day, day by day for three months.) It had taken two years of verbal abuse, rejection and hostility from the pastor and many church members, before getting the okay to enter the church to begin praying as JESUS asked us to do.

By this time I understood that God's Commission to me was to call the church to pray and to warn of coming judgment. I lacked the details at this point in time but had an excellent understanding of the general purpose God had before me.

Trinity Lutheran Church was, as the Lord sheaved me, a microcosm of the church in America. Resistance to the call to repent and pray was massive.

By this time I understood that Jesus wanted me to call the church to pray and to warn them of coming judgment.

One evening during the summer of 1976, 1 was in my prayer closet. I was praying and meditating on the Lord, as was my discipline. Quite unexpectedly, an unwelcome visitor appeared before me. My visitor was an emissary sent directly by Lucifer. I looked at this demon prince which took the form of man standing about six feet tall.

It was attired with a purple robe that was adorned with gold and gems . It also wore a golden crown and had a very stately bearing.

It then spoke, saying, "Greetings! My lord sends me to you with this offer."

I knew that the "lord" it spoke of was not the Lord Jesus rather Lucifer. It continued speaking of the work Jesus asked me to do. It surprised me that it knew this. It now made its offer saying, "We will give you fame, wealth, power, rich homes, women," and then it stated, "We will also ensure that you have respect,

honor and high placement in the Church if you will only refrain from warning of coming judgment and not call people to pray." It also added that I could teach about the Bible, preach salvation and do many good works - again, if I would refrain from warning of judgment and calling for prayer. Lastly, it told me it would grant me more if I wanted that.

I was absolutely astonished at the audacity of the creature as it has not only interrupted my prayer time but tried to buy me.

The Emissary (continued ) I replied and told this demon prince, "...as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord Jesus Christ." (Joshua 24: 15).

With that, the demon emissary glared at me with hateful eyes. Its face contorted to a threatening posture, and it spoke in a rage, telling me that it and its demonic hoard would kill my loved ones, my children, my wife and lastly me. It also would ensure that I was hated, reviled, rejected and despised in the Church. It (and the demonic hoard) would also work to inflict want, suffering and troubles in my life. It then continued to spew out threats which I quickly retorted, saying, "I trust the Lord Jesus Christ, who is my Lord and Savior, and you have no power over me, I belong to Jesus Christ!"

With that I rebuked the demon prince in JESUS's Name and in His Name commanded that it go. And with that it was gone. Returning to my prayers I completed my intercession.

In the years to come there were two distinct attempts by the enemy to kill my wife, two to kill my son and one to kill my daughter. On each I was forewarned by the Holy Spirit, intercepted the demons before they could attack and bound them, asking FATHER GOD to cast them into the bottomless pit (He did). Thereafter the enemy avoided direct attacks, being terrified at the prospect of being cast in the bottomless pit. Several direct attacks were made to kill me but again, I caught them, bound them and asked that they be cast into the bottomless pit.

In the greater Church in America, gossip, false accusations and lies against me spread like wildfire. The Bitter Cup had prepared me to endure these assaults and threats from my loved ones, brethren in the Church and even family members. Nonetheless, accusations by brethren in the body came at me day by day. However, this did not deter me from doing God's Will and warning the Church of coming judgment and in calling brethren to repent and pray.

A PROPHET' S CAPACITY TO KNOW: Under God's Anointing, a prophet tends to know what people are thinking. While this is not a constant experience, we do discern and know what other people are thinking especially is if it is aimed at a prophet, be it positive or negative.

A PROPHET'S CAPACITY TO KNOW (Con tinued) When we, Nancy-TON I and I, were married (1987) we received some sizeable cash gifts. At the time we were engaged in a major prayer operation and we used that money to fund the prayer operation. JESUS at that time told us He would return that money. Years later we received several large gifts to fund a prophetic mission that when it was done, a large sum of money was left over. JESUS told us to take the sum we had been given in 1987 and take our honeymoon to Hawaii using those funds.

Shortly after we arrived in Hawaii, both Nancy--TONI and I were keenly aware that some brethren were judging us for going to Hawaii and thar we were misusing Ministry funds. We prayed to forgive them and did. On our return home we received a letter from an intercessor who apologized for judging us for going to Hawaii, thinking that we were misusing Ministry funds.

The accusations, hatred, rejection and abuse aimed at me, though not always heard directly, were perceived spiritually and it was like hammer blows. The very brethren we protected from demonic hoards were attacking us from the rear while we were withstanding demons attacking from the front. In essence, we stood between the destroyers and the target of their murderous intent, at the same , time the very people we protected attacked us from behind.

Prepared by the Spirit of God I was able to stand, withstand and carry on with the mission God gave me. However, the constant hammer blows aimed at me personally began to take a toll. Any number of times my health took a turn for the worse but then Jesus healed me and I moved ahead. Nonetheless, it reached a point where the hostility I encountered in many places, the coldness of brethren who despised me to my face, brought me to the place where I wanted to return to Jesus, to go home to heaven. I resisted that but regardless, it was something I desired and at times prayed for.

"YOU ARE STILL ALIVE? " When my prophet partner, Cliff, left the Ministry I faced a torrent of rej ection, abuse, and reviling across the nation. One Pastor who attended one of my meetings dramatized it saying, "it seemed that you were engulfed in a massive barrage of artillery, but when the smoke cleared, you were still there!"

Years later, a known prophet (Royal Conquist) told a friend that he was surprised that I was still alive given all the violence done to me nationwide.

THE 600 HOURS OF PRAYER: Royal Cronquist lived in the same vicinity as we did and I'd written him a number of times but he never responded. It turned out that he had heard nothing but evil about me from top Christian leaders nationwide, so he avoided me. Then he heard good reports from those in his church about me and began praying for a Word from the Lord. Royal would tell me that he prayed 600 hours when he got an answer from Heaven that JESUS had sent me into this world to do ajob and that I was His prophet. Royal would comment that he was concerned that so many top Christian leaders outright judged and accused me, a man sent by God.

III,,

How did I feel about this? I already knew JESUS sent me as I remember volunteering while in Heaven to come down here to do His Will, but it was pleasant to make friends with a fellow prophet of Jesus, someone I admired. It was also clear that the vast majority of Christian leaders did not discern nor prayed to discern, rather they accepted false accusations and judgments against a brother in Christ without questioning it.

Royal himself did not accuse or judge me, instead he simply avoided me after hearing nothing but evil about me until some of his church members met me and gave him a good report, This brought him to pray to discern me.

Why did it take Royal 600 hours to get an answer from God ? I asked Royal this question. He said that the judgments and accusations were so fierce and so intense that it took all that time to pray through to receive an answer from God. If I wondered why these accusations and judgments coming out of the church were so intense, I got an answer from an unlikely source.

PARLAY WITH

LUCIFER:*

During one of the early parlays Lucifer would tell

me that my brethren listened him not Jesus. I didn't believe him. Lucifer then told me a number of things he would give my Christian brethren to accuse me of. Within 48 hours a Christian woman telephoned me and stated point by point the accusations Lucifer told me he would throw at me. About a week or so later I got a letter from a Christian brother listing the same accusations as Lucifer outlined during the parlay.

I wondered how he was able to do this? In previous encounters with Lucifer I became very aware of an unholiness about him that came across as a stench. It would be impossible for him to talk to another Christian without the unholy stench overwhelming anyone he drew near. After a couple of parlays I asked the Lord to have Lucifer seated at the end of a long table where I was upwind - which Jesus did.

*GOD THE FATHER gave me a special commission whereby He gave me responsibility to safeguard that portion of the Elect Body of Christ that were in captivity. These were the Elect living in the Communist Soviet Union who had not been awakened to who they were in Christ or coming to know Jesus as their savior.

While they were captive to a godless state they were subject to Lucifer who aimed to kill them before they became Christians. By this he aimed to break the Elect Body of Christ and so prevent JESUS' return in our time. My commission was to prevent Lucifier from harming them as they were given to me to safeguard. To get to them the Devil had to go through me or get me to yield them to him. Lucifer would come to FATHER GOD asking permission to talk (parlay) with me to the ends of gaining

access to these sleeping Elect. The FATHER GOD often granted his request and JESUS would tell me to expect Lucifer to show for a parlay - more, to receive him.

These were not moments I looked forward to as Lucifer was a devious, deadly and very intelligent enemy. I looked to JESUS in a parlay saying only that which He told me to say.

In 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed, something we in the Net of Prayer under God's Commission accomplished in prayer warfare over a 7 year period. Henceforth I was

PARLAY WITH LUCFER (continued): no longer required to parlay with Lucifer, something I was quite happy about.

One thing was plain, the Emissary's threat to see that I was: "hated, reviled, rejected and despised in the Church,"was a full blown reality: I was seeing and living it. The question was "how was the enemy able to do it?" It was plain that the enemy easily got church leaders to do this across the nation; but again, how?

FATHER GOD Versus JESS CHRIST: The Lord JESUS required three prophets to work together to prophesy and stop a major destruction in the offing. When we, Nancy-TONI and I, went to pick up this young prophet, he prayed and told us, "JESUS said go but the FATHER said do not go. Since the FATHER is greater than the Son, I will not go." Because it was so important and many lives were involved, we asked him to pray and fast and give us his answer the next day. He did and the answer was the same, "JESUS said go but the FATHER said do not go. Since the FATHER is greater than the son, I will not go."

Lacking the third prophet (God's requirement), the prophetic mission was cancelled.

A few weeks later the Chernobyl nuclear disaster happened. The result was that 500,000 living souls perished.

Who was this "Father"? At that time I did not know to ask this question and if I did, I would have no idea how to understand it. What I did know was that the SON did nothing except what The FATHER showed Him. THE PARADOX; Of those who accused me, past a variety of false accusation, most church leaders liked to call me a "false prophet", saying that the things I prophesy do not come to pass. Those who have been in this Ministry for some years know this is wrong. Recently we received a letter from a Net of Prayer Intercessors: (Quote) Letter from Susan-LILY, on June 15, 2014 . "...I was listening to Utube stuff this morning and l hear John Paul Jackson say that he saw suicide bombers in schools and in the malls, and the fear it would bring on people.. .j ust like Chuck has said...

Then RickJoynerwas talking aboutthe foundations of this nation coming down, just like Chuck has said... htt ou tu.be/aBFPZQF-C8 This is for Rick Joyner's word.

China, Iran and Russia, were in a meeting, these world leaders were talking about how to devalue our currency by buying up the oil. .

Churches became cities of refuge in this man's vision, ministering to the people, as the world governments couldn't help the people anymore.. rain in one city because of the life there, peace, but not in another place.

2-sided coin, judgment is beginning and here, and glorious outpouring of the Lord for revival ... all just like Chuck has said! http:ZZyoutubef 3LSrJgl 8Z4 Here is the U-Tube video of Shane.

Another gentleman speaking of a majorwest coast earthquake, Tike they warned about in '89...just like Chuck has said. ...Rick Joyner also said that people should move AFTER they hear from the Lord. ..He wants some of His people to stay for harvest. ..he believes things are imminent. No date given, he says he doesn't get or give dates.

Seek and abide in the Lord daily..

Just like Chuck!

Y2K was a drill, not going to happen, but it was a drill and the experience. Joyner said he was told by the Lord that Y2K was not going to happen, just like Chuck. Seems as though they are all speaking just like Chuck!

Act 2:21, and it shall be that everyone who calls the name of the Lord, shall be saved. ..call on the name of the Lord. ..when you are in a bad situation.. .and He got them out of it.. .Our Lord is above all situations, live by faith and not by fear. And don't respond to fear! Look at yourself, if you respond in fear.

We cannot trust anything that we have a vested interest in. ..we cannot see things for ourselves, because of our soul. ..just like Chuck! htt p:// youtube/MkgwfiklAMo This is for Rick Joyner, Morningstar ministry U-Tube video.

Prepare spiritually ... just like Chuck!!!

This is pretty neat, they are following after Chuck, but still following! We may eventually drop all the nonsense, nationally, and work together! That would be wonderful. One chases a thousand, 2, ten thousand! God Bless!"

THE PASTOR'S DISCERNMENT: A brother in the Lord took a report I'd written on how to have a living relationship with JESUS which I'd entitled, `THE RELATIONSHIP REPORT". He took this report and removed my name from it and sent it to a pastor who had spoken against me in vile terms. A week or so later he telephoned this pastor asking what he thought of this, "RELATIONSHIP REPORT.".

The pastor stated, "The one who wrote this is a a true man of God led

of by the

Holy Spirit and not like that false prophet Chuck Youngbrandt!" My friend

stated, "That is who wrote it. "The pastor didn't grasp what he said, so he plainly stated, "Chuck Youngbrandt is the one who wrote the RELATIONSHIP REPORT "The pastor hung up without comment.

BLEED TO DEATH: As I recall, back in the late 1980's I was given to hear Lucifer conferring with his chief-most demon princes and he made one statement which was also an order, saying, "Hit him until he bleeds to death." I knew by the Spirit of God that he was talking about me.

In 1994 I found myself in the ER with a very high sugar count. I was told by the doctor that I should have been in a coma and that I had diabetes. Diabetes is a blood disorder. I made the connection immediately between what the Holy Spirit revealed about Lucifer's command to his demon princes and this blood problem. But how was this happening?

In the early 1990's I received a HOLY SPIRIT insight and revelation that Adam is one name for Satan, and that the two are the same being. I spent two years dialoging with a brother in Christ (Tom Romero) on this insight and in the process began to find Scripture after Scripture that made it plain that Satan was and is Adam.

For one, when we are born into this world we are born through fallen Adam who is innately our "father." We find in Romans 8: 15 and Galatians 4: 5 clear evidence that we are "adopted sons of God through Jesus Christ." If we are adopted, then who was our original father - that would be Adam also called Satan.

The enemy, Satan, easily misled God's people who were unaware of the duplicity of the "father", one being father Adam and the other Father GOD. Unlike Lucifer who has a stench about him, Satan can appeal to us as "father" and if we do not know that there are two fathers in the picture, many are readily deceived.

Page 10

June 25, 2014

This explained how the enemy was able to get God's people to receive a word from "Father" thinking it was Father GOD when in fact it was father Adam.

For another, among many Scriptures, we see that Adam was given all of the earth and then when Jesus faced the tempter, Satan, it was he who offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world if He would fall down and worship him. Who else but Adam had such possessions? None! Thus that Satan tempting Jesus was Adam.

GROUNDS VIA BRETHREN: The barrage of accusations, condemnations and violence done to me by the church gave the enemy of our souls, Satan and Lucifer, the "grounds" from which they could attack me directly. It was as simple as that and almost impossible to deal with, because the enemy operated with the agreement of brethren. If I turned on these brethren, I'd be attacking the very people JESUS sent me to protect. I was aware of what Elisha did in II Kings 2: 2-24-25. Cursing the children who mocked him led to their death by two she bears. I was keenly aware that I could do the same with all of these brethren who accused and judged me so freely.

However, I was also keenly aware that the enemy wanted me to do that, getting grounds through me to destroy all of them. This was a quandary for which I had no answers. Shortly after being diagnosed with diabetes (1994) JESUS did tell me He would heal me, but He didn't say when.

In 2010 I was felled by intense intestinal pain and ended up in the Emergency Room. Because I had a severe case of constipation they operated on me, cleaned me out; but when they were about to close me up they discovered that I had an inflamed ulcer, more they found that my liver had "cirrhosis" and added to this my veins were thinning out, a condition called "esophageal varices."

I was under the knife (on the operating table) for the better part of six hours+, having been given a double dose of anesthetic. As a consequence when I came to in the recovery room, I'd lost all connection with my limbs and was in a daze.

The doctor was blunt saying that if these veins burst (the esophageal varices) I'd bleed out in less than half an hour. He prescribed a beta blocker but the generic version knocked me for a loop, the physical reaction was nothing shortly of terrible.

I would switch to the brand name and that worked out with minimal severe side effects.

The downside of a beta-blocker is that it slows the heart down. I was left with less

Page 11

June 25, 2014

energy with a slower heart rate, something that took time to overcome.

In late April this year the doctor prescribed a different beta-blocker (the brand name goes for $150 a month) which cost only $6.00 a month. I took it for six days this May, 2014 and it hit my system like a shotgun blast. Every kind of side effect surfaced and these were magnified. I was so sick and disorientated I ended up back in the ER this past May. It's taken me the better part of two months to recover from the drug which turned out to be a generic version. .The doctor who prescribed it retired shortly after he gave me the prescription.

In the ER this past May. 2014 the doctor told me I had a heart condition, blockage of impulses to the heart. It was not serious but it could get worse with time.

THE COUNSEL of Jim-REPHEAL and SAM : With news of a "heart condition,"

it seemed like everything was going the wrong way. Jim-REPHEAL and Sam discerned that I had some unforgiveness for those who accused me so viciously and that the accusations and attacks have had a very serious effect on my physical health.

I could and do pray to forgive those who attack me but what do I do about the physical attacks on my health? It is demonic, and works through the grounds given the enemy by church leaders and brethren in general.

IT IS MORE THAN ME: I know that under God's anointing I represent a

significant portion of the Elect Body of Christ. If the enemy can attack me, they can also attack other brethren. They like to disguise what they do as being "the natural course of events" and so they work to stay under the radar. For example, the various conditions I have are considered (by doctors) as somewhat normal fora diabetic. This is what I mean when I say that they are working under the radar, avoiding being too obvious.

THE ENCLOSED SPECIAL PRAYER SHEET

This has been written by Nancy-TON! on Holy Spirit leading. One point of agreement is asking FATHER GOD to remove the grounds the enemy has worked through. When that is done and God the Father confirms and answers our joint prayers, then we can begin dealing with the demons that have worked through these brethren. In particular, I aim to deal with that "Emissary", who I discern is behind all this trouble. Praying and agreeing with us is important. Pray these special prayers as long as you are led to pray them. Thank you and God bless.

JESUS CALLING, by Sarah Young (Quote) "Do not expect to be treated fairly in this life. People will say and do hurtful things to you, things that you don't deserve. When someone mistreats you, try to view it as an opportunity to grow in grace. See how quickly you can forgive the one who has wounded you. Don't be concerned about setting the record straight.

Instead of obsessing about other people's opinions of you, keep your focus on Me. Ultimately, it is My view of you that counts.

As you concentrate on relating to Me, remember that I have clothed you in My righteousness and holiness. I see you attired in these radiant garments, which I bought for you with My blood. This also is not fair; it is pure gift. When others treat you unfairly, remember that My ways with you are much better than fair. My ways are Peace and Love, which I have poured out into your heart by My Spirit."

The US dollar, our financial system, the credibility of the US government, of Wall Street, the Fed, and of America's leadership are all under question all over the world. The emperor is naked; the Wizard's curtain has been drawn back, and the giant is now seen as a midget still pretending to be a giant. Wall Street is now being seen as the lying, manipulating, thieves that they are — especially since the credit default/derivatives fiasco and their more recent in-your-face manipulation of the gold market.

The Fed has no credibility since QE to infinity — since its printing of trillions of dollars a year to support the US Treasury bond market; since its non-stop bailout

The big US banks are seen as the biggest, most self-serving whores on the planet — who will lie, steal, plunder, manipulate, cheat, and even kill for their own enrichment — while under the protective cover ofthe corrupt Washington political establishment. (Ten bankers who knew too much about their "grand theft" have now been suicided or murdered in the past 60 days.)

And the US government under Obama and the pathetic US Congress are now being seen as a threat to the whole world. The government/Fed/Wall Street manipulation of the gold market is now understood by the whole world as a desperate, last-grasp attempt to save the dollar and the sick US financial system. The NSA spying on the entire world; America's endless "wars for democracy" (think Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Ukraine); America's bullying attitude toward China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and almost everyone else — are all signs of a floundering empire, run by fools, desperately trying to maintain control while in fact losing control. The era of American political, financial, economic dominance — a reality since the end of WWII — is now coming to an end.

When America dictated the terms of the peace and the post-war monetary system at Bretton Woods in 1944, our political/financial leaders set up a system that would greatly enrich America (especially themselves) at the expense of everyone else. All international transactions (business, government, trade, etc.) would have to be transacted in US dollars. This would greatly enrich our government, Fed, Wall Street, and the big banks in the years to come, but that was tolerable to everyone since the US was the most powerful country in the world and our dollar the strongest currency — which was "as good as gold." And of course, to the winner went the spoils.

Today all that has changed: The dollar is no longer backed by anything; it has been so diluted by 69 years of non-stop inflating (printing), that it has lost 95% of its value. The official government debt has risen to $17 trillion (having doubled in just the past seven years) — with real-world US total debt at over $80 trillion. An endless series of wars and police actions (i.e., Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and dozens more military interventions and overthrows of governments, with our military now in over 130 countries); massive foreign aid -- which went almost totally into the pockets of corrupt politicians we were buying; decades of out of control deficit spending; and three decades of massive monetary expansion via the Fed printing presses — have all combined to destroy all credibility for the Fed, Wall Street, and for the US dollar.

The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor, May 2014. (Quote continued) ...America's politicallfmancial leaders see that they are losing control and are desperate to hang on — using bullying tactics against China, Russia, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and anyone who crosses them. It should be remembered that when Saddam Hussein threatened to do oil transactions in other currencies than the dollar, America invaded Iraq and killed him. A million people ultimately died.

When Muammar Gaddafi tried to launch a gold-backed Arab currency, America overthrew and killed him. When Syria cut an oil pipeline deal with Russia, Obama tried to invade Syria — and was only prevented from doing so by Russian intervention. America arms al Qaeda forces in Syria. Now America has triggered confrontation with Russia and is trying to bully China, but it will not work.

The greatest danger in the world right now is that the powers-that-be in America, who are seeing their empire crumble before their eyes, w il l trigger a war in an effort to recoup their losses or regain control. (That is how the Great Depression in the 1930s was ended.) Why else would America have helped overthrow the elected government of the Ukraine and be pushing to place NATO (which America controls) nuclear missiles in Putin's backyard? If Russia moved its troops and missiles into Northern Mexico, would America see that as a threat?

We are now tryinto do that to Russia — which incidental) has the largest nuclear missile arsenal in the world." ...A former IMF manager (Jukka Pihlman), now with Standard Charter Bank in Singapore, recently stated that: "The yuan has effectively already become a de facto reserve currency because so many central banks have invested in it The yuan

may become a de facto reserve currency before it is fully convertible" Dr Jim Willie recently predicted: "You are going to see by the end of this year that the dollar is mortally wounded and Treasury bonds are regarded as toxic paper. "Willie

believes that gold is headed for 55,000-57,000 an ounce, and silver for S200-5400 an ounce — " because, all the world's central banks are going to need gold, they are going to sell Treasury bonds to buy gold [as] a solution for their banking systems.

What's the solution? It's legitimate reserves, hard asset gold reserves. "

This writer has just personally seen the US dollar fall by 10% in 60 days against the Indonesian rupiah. That central bank is selling US dollars and buying yuan and gold. Likewise for the Philippine Central Bank. Willie predicts that the US dollar will ultimately drop 80% from recent levels and that import prices in the US will rise by 400%.

..Out of the present financial crisis (now being exacerbated by the conflict between Russia and the US over the Ukraine and Crimea — and sanctions imposed by America — and, by America's bullying of China), we will soon see the announcements of a gold-backed Russian ruble and Chinese yuan.

These currencies are increasingly being used in world trade — including oil and gas transactions between countries. And this is all happening much faster than most observers (including this writer) would have anticipated. Trading exchanges for the Yuan have recently been established in London and Frankfurt, Germany.

[ED. NOTE: As an aside, almost everything China is doing worldwide these days is to be helpful, creative, generous, and cooperative (i.e., they are making friends of nations and companies all over the world). (We know this is completely contrary to US media propaganda.) Meanwhile, by way of contrast, eve rything the US (i.e., the gove rn ment, Wall Street, the big banks, the IMF — which

America controls, the NSA with its in-your-face global spying) is doing worldwide these days is to be greedy, self-serving, belligerent, demanding, controlling, and destructive.

The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor, May 2014. (Quote continued) America is now inciting conflict everywhere — think Iraq, Arab Spring, Egypt, Libya, Iran, Ukraine, Syria — where we are now arming al Qaeda and committing drone murders of civilians in Pakistan. Our confrontational belligerent rent, arrogant, bullying approach to everyone is making _us enemies everywhere and totally destroying our credibility as a "good gu y nation ."

Who would have thought that, in less than six years, Obama (winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009) and his Establishment puppet masters could make China

and Russia look like the "good guys" on the world stage, and the US look like the "bad guys"? Was this part of his assignment, or are Obama, Kerry, Biden and their regime just dangerous fools? In either case, it is disgusting! ...Because of the anticipated collapse of the dollar, both China and Russia

(and the rest of the BRICS — Brazil, India, and South Africa) are hedging their toxic dollar reserves with massive gold purchases. And they are quietly selling off their US Treasury bond holdings — or swapping them for gold, natural resources, or acquisition of businesses or real estate around the world. The two allies (Russia and China) plan to gradually raise the convertibility of both the ruble and the yuan to increase their role in international trade, and in time to morph into reserve currencies.

Over 40 years ago, Henry Kissinger cut a deal with the Saudis, the dominant player in the OPEC cartel, that all oil transactions would be transacted in only US dollars -- (hence the "petrodollar"). The existence of petrodollars has been one of the pillars of America's economic might because it creates a significant external demand for the American currency, allowing the US to accumulate enormous debts without defaulting. So, if Japan was buying oil from Iraq, Iran or Saudi Arabia, it could not by oil with en but must convert those yell to dollars and buy the oil with US dollars . It was a very profitable arrangement for the US and its big banks and oil companies.

But that petrodollar arrangement is now coming unraveled. China is beginning to buy Russian and Middle East oil and gas with yuan; Russia (the largest

producer of oil and gas in the world) is beginning to sell its oil and gas to the BRICS for rubles, euros, or yuan, or do large commodity swaps or other trades without using dollars. It is doing large oil deals with Iran and Iraq that exclude petrodollars. Iran and Russia will swap oil for goods. Europe will soon be buying Russian oil and gas with euros, or doing huge non-dollar trading using euros and rubles. Likewise for India and Brazil. Russia has a large gas pipeline project with Syria — which Obama tried to sabotage with his attempt to go to war in Syria last

...America's sanctions against Russia will hurt America and Europe a lot more than they will hurt Russia, and are likely to hasten the coming collapse of the US dollar. Obama has threatened to cut Russia off from the SWIFT interbank payment system. But, SWIFT is one of the main systems that banks use for international payments. The problem is that banks are interrelated. If Russian banks are unable to use the system, they will fail to make payments to their western counter parts, which will prove quite a shock to the financial system. In late March, Obama signed an Executive Order imposing restrictions on several key sectors of the Russian economy: energy, mining, defense, and engineering. ...In the past six months, this writer has spent a lot of time in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). In many decades of travel around the world, and over 40 years in the financial world, this writer has never seen the explosive economic growth, creation of wealth, proliferation of prosperity, and rapid rise of the middle class that we are now seeing in these cities and across Asia. (If you saw the airports in Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Shanghai, or Beijing, you would be amazed — especially in comparison to any airports in America, even newer terminals such as at San Francisco International Airport.) What is behind this "Asian financial miracle" which is presently seen most prominently in China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, and India (the first-tier countries), and is now emerging in the second-tier Asian countries (i.e., Cambodia, Vietnam, Mongolia, Philippines, and Myanmar)?

A number of factors have been involved: 1) Asia has adopted the free market principles that made America great, but which we have now abandoned for hardcore socialism. 2) America's decision over thirty years ago to drop all protective tariffs, and put US manufacturers on "a level playing field with Asia" made the US non-competitive, with labor costs of over S20 an hour versus S0.50$1.00 an hour in Asia. This has cost America over twenty million jobs over the past 25 years. We are presently losing over a half million jobs each year to China alone. 3) Asian education (especially in the areas of science and technology) is now vastly superior to the mediocre education in American high schools and universities — wherein the majority of students have been dumbed down by 16 years of government controlled public education. China presently graduates 20 times more engineers each year than America does.

4) Asians (from India to China) have the work ethic that Americans had 50-75 years ago until that was replaced with non-stop entertainment for children and

Sixteen to 1 8-hour workdays, 6-7 days a week are not uncommon in Asia. 6) Asians save between 15 and 30% of earnings — in some cases more, whereas Americans' personal saving rate has been hovering near zero for several decades. 7) Asians as individuals, businesses, and even countries, have far less debt than Americans or our businesses or government. 8) Americans invest in pamper — Asians invest in gold. Much of their savings is in gold. 9) Asians have far less controls, regulations, and restrictions on doing business than Americans have —probably 80-90% less. Yes, Asians are more free — even in China! This is one of the most important factors in the present day explosive growth in Asia and the accelerating economic decline in America !

Recently, Michael Snyder wrote regarding the rapid de-industrialization of America: How long can America continue to burn up wealth? How long can this nation continue to consume far more wealth than it produces? (Unquote) End of the year prediction I (Chuck-JOHNEL) shared the HOLY SPIRIT insight in January this year, that America could face a money and economic crisis. On Page 14 of this Newsletter I quoted the May, 2014 McAlvany Report which stated, (Quote) "Dr Jim Willie recently predicted: "You are going tosee by the end of this year that the dollar is mortally wounded and Treasury bonds are regarded as toxic

paper. " Willie believes that gold is headed for 55,000-$7,000 an ounce, and silver for $200-$400 an ounce — "because, all the world's central banks are going to need gold... "(Unquote).

The judgment JESUS revealed was coming back in 1977 is unfolding before our eyes. JESUS forewarned of a time where the U.S. Dollar becomes worthless and where energy shortages would paralyze the nation, food would be hard to find and farmers would be unable to plow, plant or care for their crops because of the lack of fuel. With a $17 Trillion debt and a government and president that leads America to ruination, the end is not far off. Maybe a year or two or a little more or a little less.

The issue before us is will we get and stay close to JESUS or not as this is the only way to survive, even thrive in these terrible times coming. Amen. God bless.
