• Although real estate runs on the motto that "every
market is a local market," it seems that every market is
also governed by global trends, ranging from the Asian
financial crisis of the late 1990s to the
rising price of oil in the past year.
• World housing prices have been driven up, in part,
by tectonic shifts in global capital. But that means
they are vulnerable if global trends shift. Already,
there are signs of weakness in some markets, with home
prices declining slightly in some regions of England, Australia and
the Netherlands.
• "We've had a phenomenal run-up worldwide, but a lot of
markets are softening," said Elaine Worzala, a real estate professor
at the University of San Diego. "There are beginning to
be problems overseas. And if interest rates
kick up in this country, which I think will happen, we could
see some of those problems here, too."
• The recent boom in worldwide home prices had its roots in the Asian financial crisis in 1997-98, economists say. To keep the global economy afloat, the world's central bankers lowered interest rates with the goal of stimulating corporate investment, and they cut interest rates further after the U.S. stock-market crash of 2000 and the terrorist attacks of 2001.
• Consumers, however, had fewer qualms about borrowing. The low interest rates led to dirt-cheap mortgages, fueling a home-buying boom that allowed home sellers to ask for more money for their houses.
• Besides the low interest rates, another factor that has pushed global real estate prices higher has been a reluctance to invest in the global stock market. Wall Street's crash in 2000 reverberated worldwide, pulling down stock exchanges from Hong Kong to Frankfurt. Although many stocks have recovered, some investors soured on the stock market and looked for safer places to invest, including real estate, mortgage-backed securities or Treasury bonds.
Investing in America.
• At the same time, the central banks of Asia – led by China and Japan – plowed their money into Treasury bonds. By buying U.S. securities, they kept the value of their currencies low, making the wages of their countries' workers attractive to foreign companies.
• More recently, Saudi Arabia and other oil exporters have joined Asian economies by investing their profits in U.S. securities. Between October and March, oil-producing nations invested a net $43.3 billion in U.S. assets – the same amount as China. The oil producers invested as much money in the United States during those six months as they did in the three years from 2001 to 2003.
"There's been a tremendous amount of excess global savings that is migrating into the bond market, and it's not all China," Quinlan said. "I get upset when I hear everybody complaining about 'China, China, China.' There's been quite a fillip from the Middle East."
• Most of the foreign investments have poured into
U.S. government-backed securities and Treasury
bonds. That has kept mortgage rates low because
mortgages are typically packaged into mortgage-backed securities
whose prices often rise or fall with 10-year Treasury bills.
Similar investments in Europe and other overseas markets have helped
keep foreign mortgage rates low as well. To a certain extent, then,
corporate outsourcing to Asia and the high
price of gasoline have been indirectly subsidizing
the high price of housing worldwide.
• In some countries, prices have
begun leveling off as housing has become less affordable.
In Australia, home prices showed zero growth during the first quarter
of this year and prices in Sydney fell 3.4 percent,
according to the Australian
• Bureau of Statistics. In England,
prices have fallen nearly 3.6 percent in the past year,
according to Hometrack, a British research group.
• "A slowdown in prices would really be
a good thing, since it would make houses more affordable," du Toit
said.
• In Hong Kong, home prices are 43 percent lower than they were in 1997 despite a run-up of nearly 40 percent in the past two years, according to The Economist survey.
• Peter Schiff, who heads Euro Pacific Capital in Newport Beach, said Japan's experience shows that real estate bubbles can burst badly. The Japanese economy has been slogging through 16 years of sluggish growth and recessions since its bubble burst in 1989.
• Schiff said a similar crash in the United States – which most economists say is unlikely – would have a far more devastating effect. Most Japanese homeowners had a cushion of personal savings to soften the decline, he said. But most Americans are already heavily in debt.
• "What's unique about the housing bubble in the United States versus other countries is that here our bubble has been accompanied by a collapse in our savings rate," Schiff said. "In other countries, people are usually not monetizing the value of their property. They're not taking out large amounts of home-equity loans or refinancing their properties and then spending the money they have made."

The 7 Trumpets of the Apocalypse
“And the second angel sounded, and as it were
a great mountain [asteroid] burning with fire was cast into the sea...Woe,
woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices
of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!”
Revelation 8:8,13
Asteroid Impact on the Sea
“And when he had opened the fourth seal... And
I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was
Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto him over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword and with hunger and
with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
Revelation 6:7,8
“... Beloved, I now write unto you: in both
which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be
mindful of the words which were spoken by the holy prophets...”
2 Peter 3:1-2
• What does debt relief have to do with the World
Bank, United Nations, International Monetary Fund, G7 or G8 and the
Euro currency?
Well, really, over the past 30 to 40 years, we economic hit men have
created the largest global empire in the history of the world. And we
do this, typically -- well, there are many ways to do it, but a typical
one is that we identify a third-world country that has resources, which
we covet. And often these days that's oil, or might be the canal in
the case of Panama. In any case, we go to that third-world country and
we arrange a huge loan from the international lending community;
usually the World Bank leads that process.
• If they are truly giving these countries debt relief then why are they still in debt to America and the Western Empires?
The U.S. cheat poor countries in Latin America and around
the globe out of trillions of dollars by lending them
more money than they could possibly repay and then taking over their
economies.
So, let's say we give this third-world country a loan of $1
billion. One of the conditions of that loan
is that the majority of it, roughly 90%, comes
back to the United States to one of our big corporations,
the ones we've all heard of recently, the Bechtels, the Halliburtons.
And those corporations build in this third-world country large power
plants, highways, ports, or industrial parks -- big infrastructure projects
that basically serve the very rich in those countries. The poor people
in those countries and the middle class suffer; they don't benefit from
these loans, they don't benefit from the projects. In fact, often their
social services have to be severely curtailed in the
process of paying off the debt. Now what also happens is that this third-world
country then is saddled with a huge debt that it can't possibly repay.
For example, today, Ecuador. Ecuador's foreign
debt, as a result of the economic hit man, is equal to roughly
50% of its national budget. It cannot possibly repay
this debt, as is the case with so many third-world countries.
So, now we go back to those countries and say, look, you borrowed all
this money from us, and you owe us this money, you
can't repay your debts, so give our oil companies your
oil at very cheap costs. And in the case of many of
these countries, Ecuador is a good example here, that means destroying
their rain forests and destroying their indigenous
cultures. That's what we're doing today around the world, and
we've been doing it -- it began shortly after the end of World
War II. It has been building up over time until today where
it's really reached mammoth proportions where we
control most of the resources of the world.

in Africa?
The Second Coming
• Immediately after the Tribulation of those days:
• Shall the sun be darkened (sun became black)
• And the moon shall not give her light (moon came as blood)
• And the stars shall fall from heaven
• In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trump shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.

Who or What is Babylon the Great?
Who is really in control of this situation?
Guess Who is Really Running the Show?
• Nations are being deceived by An Organization
(Woman) who is running people (waters) lives.
• The Great Whore sits and rules over the inhabitants of the earth
(us).
• And the leaders (Presidents, Prime Ministers and kings) have
sold our souls to the Great Whore.
• They have made the inhabits of the earth seduced (drunk with
the wine) through drugs, sex and money.
• And she has many daughters who are doing the same thing to it's
citizens and members.
“...Come hither; a I will shew unto thee the
judgment of the Great Whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom
the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants
of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a
woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy,
having 7 heads and 10 horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness
of her fornication. And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND THE ABOMINATION OF THE
EARTH.”
Revelation 17:1-5
• The bible is letting us know that there is no
escape from her, except through Yahweh (God).
• The world has become a viper net, full of devils, foul spirits,
unclean and hateful people.
• We can see this very clearly in the big corporations, politicians,
the media, churches and the entertainment world.
• And it seems like the leaderships and the people like it this
way.
• Because we are drunk with the cares of this life (deed).
• The governments and rich men like it this way because they are
making merchandise of our souls.
“...Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,
and is become the habitation of devils, and hold of every foul spirit,
and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk
of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the merchants of the
earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.”
Revelation 18:3
• To keep us in drunk with its wine they practice
sorcery on us in every possible form.
• The Greek word for sorcery is pharmakeia or in the modern days
we call sorcery, drugs (pharmakeia = pharmacies or pharmacy), and most
people are addicted to drugs, sex and money.
“...For the merchants were the great men of
the earth; for by thy sorceries [pharmakeia = pharmacies = drugs]
were all nations deceived.”
Revelation 18:23
• Homosexuality has been running ramped in the leadership of the
Catholic Church for at least 100s
of years if not for over 1,000 years.
• At least one Jesuit Priests have been saying this since the
1970s and 1980s, but no one would believe them. But now that it is in
the news, everyone finally believes and knows the truth about it.
• Who can you believe?
• The World now has a German Pope who was a member of the Nazi
Youth Party when he was a kid.
• The Catholic Church teaches that there will only one more Pope
before the end of the world.
• So, are we truly living in the last days of earth’s history?
So What is Truth?
That is the question that Pilate asked
Jesus in his day.
And we should be asking, what is Present Truth for this time.
• With so much propaganda (deception)
being practiced and broadcast, who
or what can we
really believe?
Propaganda is a term that causes unease
in many people.
But just what is it?
Making a persuasive argument?
Telling lies?
The origin of the word comes from third
definition — specifically from the New Latin
Sacred Congregation for Propagating the Faith which
was established 1622 to convert, or propagate,
the
faith.
THE OXFORD COMPANION TO AMERICAN HISTORY's definition is less benign.
Propaganda is defined as "the deliberate
attempt by the few to influence the beliefs
and actions of the many through the manipulation
of ideas, facts, and lies."
Modern advertising and marketing practices
have made the practice of propaganda more effective. Whether the arguments
of propaganda are evaluated by history as true or false
or their results good or ill, making an argument through words an images
has a long history — especially when the cause to be sold
is war.
During World War II the word propaganda took on a more
sinister tenor — due largely to the great emphasis
placed on the creation of propaganda by the Third Reich,
under the leadership of a Propaganda Minister, Joseph
Goebbels.
The United States called its own war propaganda program
a "strategy of truth." The new Office of War Information
was in charge of selling the war at home. The Office
of Strategic Services concentrated on getting the Allied word
out abroad. These campaigns defined the war as a classic battle between
good and evil.
• God tells us not to trust in the arm of flesh for they will
fail us.
• God also warns us that the church will fall away from following
God.
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that
day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that
man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition...with all deceivableness."
II Thessalonians 2:3
• Be carefully because truth is hard to find.
• Remember that all the inhabitance of the earth is drunk and
asleep to what is present truth.
"And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness
in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth,
that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong
delusion, that they should believe a lie. That they all might be damned
who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
II Thessalonians 2:10 - 12

that will occur on the Earth & in the Heavens:
1) A Great Earth Quake,
2) The Sun will be Darkened,
3) The Moon shall turn to Blood
and
4) The Stars will Fall from Heaven.
What can or will cause these four (4) Major Events to Occur in our Solar System?

The 7 Trumpets of the Book of Revelation occurs after some of the Seals are opened.
These 7 Trumpets of the Bible represents the Judgements of God Falling on the Earth.
What affects will the 7 Trumpets of the Book of Revelation have on the Earth?
Did you know that Earth has been moving through an Astrod Belt?
Did you know that NASA and Scientist are Planning for
an Astrod to hit the Earth?
Did you know that
NASA and Scientist call Astrods, Mountians in space?
Under the 7 Trumpets of the Book of Revelation
something like a great Mountian,
Burning with Fire will hit the Sea.
Could that be an Astrod striking the Planet?
Notice the After-Effects of an Astrod understood by NASA and Scientist:
Above are the Immediate Regional Effects.
Below are the Short-Term and Long-Term Global Effects.
Notice the After-Effects Stated by the Bible:
1) 1/3 of the Sea became Blood and Wormwoood
2) 1/3 of the Ships are Destroyed
3) 1/3 of the Fish in the Sea Die

Darkness covering the kingdom,
1) The Sun Sorching people with Great Heat
2) Great Hail Stones, weighting 100lbs falling out of the sky.
Then many groups picks up with the Baptism of The Messiah by John.
Then some will pick up with the Death of the Messiah.
Some understand that the 70 weeks ended with the stoning of Stephen.
While others push the last week into the future
to the Time of Trouble which is also called the Great Tribulation.
