USA: Consumers Continue To Pile Up Debt

USA - We haven’t seen survey results like this since just before the last recession.  Right now, 60 percent of Americans believe that a recession is “very or somewhat likely in the next year”, and the reason why that figure is so high is because there is already a tremendous amount of evidence that the economy is slowing down all around us.  As I have been documenting repeatedly, US economic performance has not been this dismal since 2008 and 2009, and the slowdown seems to be gaining pace as we move toward the end of 2019.  So it really shouldn’t be a surprise that a solid majority of the country thinks that the next recession will officially begin very soon.  But at the same time, US consumers continue to pile up more debt at a frightening pace. If a severe economic downturn really is coming, the smart thing to do would be to get out of credit card debt.

 
US On Step Six Of The Eight-Step Collapse of Civilization

USA - An American industrialist once described the rise and fall of historic civilizations as an eight step cycle, and western society fits well into step six while risking a rapid advance into the hellscape of step seven and beyond.

IBM, Fraunhofer partner on German-backed quantum computing research push

GERMANY - IBM is joining forces with a German research institute to explore the potential of quantum computing, backed by a government plan to invest 650 million euros ($717 million) over two years in wider research in the field. Berlin’s support, sealed at a meeting on Tuesday between Chancellor Angela Merkel and IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, comes as Europe’s biggest economy seeks to catch up to the United States and China in a global technology race.

Hot Air: Is Extreme Journalism Causing Global Warming?

USA - If you want to fight climate change, tell extremist journalists to stifle their constant flow of hot air. The rhetoric in this story is spun out of thin air and pure conjecture and yet is presented as if it will most certainly become reality.  Well, it won’t. (TN Editor)

Led By Texas, 50 State AGs Piling On Google

USA - Shields up! Technocrats at Google have finally raised the alarm with the legal/political system who are waking up to the threat of Technocracy. Politicians and the Rule of Law are mortal enemies of Technocracy. (TN Editor)

The new American plague threat? 

USA - Diseases are reemerging in some parts of America, including Los Angeles County, that we haven’t commonly seen since the Middle Ages. One of those is typhus, a disease carried by fleas that feed on rats, which in turn feed on the garbage and sewage that is prominent in people-packed “typhus zones.” Although typhus can be treated with antibiotics, the challenge is to identify and treat the disease in resistant, hard-to-access populations, such as the homeless or the extremely poor in developing countries. I also believe that homeless areas are at risk for the reemergence of another deadly ancient disease — leprosy...

AUSTRALIA - Unseasonably early bushfires have erupted across Australia sparking fears that fire activity this bushfire season could be the most severe seen in decades. Hundreds of firefighters have been dispatched to tackle the blazes across Queensland and New South Wales which are said to have been accelerated by strong winds.

‘Open Borders, Inc: Who’s Funding America’s Destruction?’Comment

USA - To fully appreciate the manufacturing of the 2018–2019 invasions of our southern border, you must first understand this: Pueblo Sin Fronteras is just one cog in the well-oiled, illegal-alien caravan-generating machine. Let’s start with what open-borders advocates themselves call their “Underground Railroad” of migrant safe houses that extend across Central America, through Mexico, and up and into the US… This sprawling network of aid stations has been in place for years, bolstered by global interests, left-wing activists, and religious institutions that advocate for illegal aliens…

UN: America has no right to protect its own borders

UNITED NATIONS - For the better part of Western existence, most people have understood one basic principle of statehood: That countries are sovereign, and as such, they have a right and even a duty to protect the integrity of their borders. That means if necessary, they can and should build barriers, pass laws against illegal entry, and enforce those laws against anyone caught breaking them.

Leftists Attack EU Commissioner Role

EUROPE - Open borders activists have criticised the “fascist rhetoric” and “deeply worrying” new vice president commissioner role of “Protecting Our European Way of Life” — despite the role focusing on integrating migrants and working on a new EU asylum pact, not stopping mass migration. The next European Commission president and former German defence minister Ursula von der Leyen has revealed nominations for a new college of eight vice presidents, naming Greek former Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas as the vice president for Protecting Our European Way of Life, a role intended to respond to the rising number of migrants in the bloc that have been arriving since the 2015 migrant crisis. Leftists have immediately attacked the job title, claiming protecting the European way of life, as it is phrased, is “fascist rhetoric”.

 
Why people hate Brussels bureaucracy

EUROPE - Ursula von der Leyen has unveiled her new team of EU Commissioners. Their job descriptions and responsibilities are nebulous, oddly overlapping and bound to cause confusion. This is European bureaucracy at its worst. The former German defense minister has steered away from traditional ministerial titles and opted for more Orwellian-sounding names – the kind you need to google to decipher what they actually mean.

Americans Are Afraid Of Going To The Hospital…

USA - What you are about to read in this article is likely to make you very angry. Once upon a time, the primary mission of our hospitals was to help people, but today they have become vicious financial predators. Many Americans try very hard to avoid visiting the hospital because of what it might cost, but if an emergency happens there is no choice. They often get us when we are at our most vulnerable, and they never explain to us in advance how much their services will actually cost. And then eventually when the bills start arriving we discover that they have charged us 30 dollars for a single aspirin or “$2,000 for a $20 feeding tube”. It is a giant scam, but they have been getting away with it for decades, and so they just keep on doing it. And many hospitals go after those that are not able to pay their ridiculous bills extremely aggressively. Over the past six years, the University of Virginia Health System has sued 36,000 patients…

 
USA: Deaths Caused by:

USA – Deaths caused by FDA approved drugs - 106,000 per year.

Deaths caused by hospital errors – 195,000 per year.

Deaths caused by rifles – less than 300 per year.

Are we solving the right problem?

The AfD wolf is at the door in east Germany

GERMANY - When West and East Germany reunified in 1990, former Chancellor Willy Brandt told a jubilant crowd, “now what belongs together will grow together”. Nearly 30 years later, it seems as though the opposite is happening. The surge of the far-right Alternative for Germany, whose party programme describes Germany’s constitutional order as “an illegitimate state of affairs”. Its leaders regularly claim that they are the only real torchbearers of the peaceful revolution of 1989. And while many of them were born in West Germany, its biggest electoral successes are in the east.

Just what is an Apostle?

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”

The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
