Foreigners dump US Treasuries: ‘you ain’t seen nothing yet!’
Handwriting on the Wall (Rembrandt)
A reader sent me a link to the following about a report released by the US Treasury yesterday:
Did you hear the news out of the Treasury Department…? It was an absolute disaster for the bond market — and for good reason:
Foreign holders dumped a whopping $40.8 billion in long-term Treasuries, the biggest exodus from bonds in the history of the U.S. Worse, June was actually the third month of mass dumping in the past four, for a total of $79 billion. China, the biggest holder of our bonds, unloaded $21.5 billion, while Japan, the second-largest holder, dumped $20.3 billion.
It wasn’t just government bonds, either. Foreigners dumped $116 million of bonds made up of packaged U.S. mortgages. They sold $5.2 billion of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae bonds, and $5 billion in corporate bonds. And they unloaded $26.8 billion of U.S. stocks. http://www.moneyandmarkets.com/international-investors-dump-40-8-billion-in-treasuries-the-most-ever-53693
The time will come when foreigners will flee the US dollar by attempting to get rid of much, much, greater amounts. To use the vernacular, “you ain’t seen nothing yet!” I will get much worse and the Bible shows that this will essentially be a sign that the time of the USA is over and that it (and its Anglo-allies) will be taken over (Habakkuk 2:6-8).
In the mail a while back, I recently received an unsolicited infomercial booklet written by Dr. Martin Weiss titled American Apocalypse. Here is some of what it said (bolding mine):
What is the the historic, life-changing, world-changing event that is also about to vaporize massive amounts of wealth and potentially threaten our liberties right here in the United States of America?
It’s the singular moment in time when the last investor willing to loan money to the government calls it quits.
It’s when the government can no longer borrow and simply runs out of money…I’m talking about a sudden, rejection of U.S. debt by the world’s investors…
Hunger and homelessness explode…riots…crime skyrockets…cities burn…
Still find this hard to believe? Then consider these ten former heads of the Council of Economic Advisors…these ten former White House advisors are warning that this next debt crisis could dwarf the last one. Why? What could cause that?…:The fact that one day foreigners may simply stop lending money to the United States…
I’m under no delusion here. I know that the vast majority of Americans will fail to heed this warning and fail to get ready for this crisis. (Weiss MD. American Apocalypse. Weiss Research, April 2012, pp. 30, 36, 37, 38, 42)
In the mail, I also recently received an unsolicited infomercial booklet written by Michael Lombardi titled Critical Warning Number Six. Here is some of what it said:
Today, 70% of world central banks have adopted the U.S. dollar as their official reserve currency. As the value of the greenback erodes under a mountain of debt and coming rapid inflation, courtesy of too many dollars in the financial system (thank you, Federal Reserve), foreigners will be dumping dollars and moving away from a system where the greenback is the official reserve currency. (Lombardi M. Critical Warning Number Six. Lombardi’s Crisis Profit Alert, 2012, p. 11)
While neither Dr. Weiss nor Michael Lombardi referred to the biblical Book of Habakkuk in their booklets, notice what some scriptures in it state (bolding mine):
6 “Will not all these take up a proverb against him, And a taunting riddle against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases What is not his — how long? And to him who loads himself with many pledges’? 7 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly? Will they not awaken who oppress you? And you will become their booty. 8 Because you have plundered many nations, All the remnant of the people shall plunder you, Because of men’s blood And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it. (Habakkuk 2:6-8)
While I do not know when Dr. Weiss or Michael Lombardi originally wrote what is quoted here (their booklets have 2011 and/or 2012 dates), respectively), I remember when the applicability of Habakkuk 2 to the USA occurred to me. It was in Guatemala in August of 2006. And since that time I started writing about it at COGwriter: originally in my article Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel , then with numerous posts in 2007 (such as Ron Weinland’s 2008 Predictions Are Wrong, China Has Major US Dollar Reserves That It Can Cash In, USA: Weather and Financial Problems, and IMF Warns of Possible Dollar Collapse) and later, and of course, this was covered extensively in my 2009 book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect.
In my view, we are seeing preludes to the proverbial “Handwriting on the Wall” of Daniel Chapter 5.
Thousands of years ago, the Prophet Daniel was asked to interpret some handwriting that was written on a wall by only a hand that the king of the area personally witnessed (which is why he ultimately called Daniel to see it). The moral trend in that kingdom was not good according to Daniel (Daniel 5:22-23). After stating that, here is the interpretation that the prophet Daniel gave of that handwriting on the wall:
24 Then the fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.
25 “And this is the inscription that was written:
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of each word. Mene: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; 27 Tekel: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; 28 Peres: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.” (Daniel 5:24-28)
That kingdom was taken over that very night (Daniel 5:30-31). But the USA is not quite there yet (it still has years, though not as many as some hope).
Now, let us look at the words from the wall and apply them to the United States.
- Mene: Your days as being on the top of the world order are numbered.
- Mene: Despite signs of your decline, instead of repenting, you seem to be taking steps to speed it up–you are soon to be finished.
- Tekel: Your morality and “conscience” have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting.
- Peres/Upharsin: Your nation will be divided by the final Beast, the King of the North (Daniel 11:39), and he will make your people slaves as your nation will be finished.
As I have written many times, I doubt that the USA will have national repentance, so it is on the way to destruction. A lot of what has come out of the White House, Congress, and pundits have not been real solutions to the problems that the USA is facing. But that does not preclude individual repentance.
Turning to God is the only answer. And this is something you can do –whether you are American or not. Even a report from the Congressional Budget Office warned that the USA is risking a “sudden fiscal crisis” that could have devastating consequences (see CBO Warns of ‘Sudden’ Debt Crisis), and according to the Bible, the consequences will be even worse than the CBO imagined.
Nations rise and fall.
Secular sources are more and more starting to realize that the end of USA dollar domination is going to occur and foreigners are getting concerned. This will have major ramifications for the USA, as well as its Anglo-allies.
Can you see the handwriting on the wall?
