Doug Casey Warns ‘It’s Going To Get Very Disagreeable In The US At Some Level Quickly.’ California SB1424 risks. Brandon Smith claims ‘World War III Will Be An Economic War.’ Then there is the Bible.

In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste
(Ezekiel 6:6)

Author Doug Casey is raising concerns about some matters in the USA:

Doug Casey Warns “It’s Going To Get Very Disagreeable In The US At Some Level Quickly”

America was as soon as distinctive among the many world’s international locations. Sadly that’s now not the case. The concept remains to be distinctive, however the nation now not is. …

The expansion of the State is definitely destroying society. During the last 100 years the State has grown at an exponential fee, and it’s the enemy of the person. I see no cause why this development, which has been in movement and accelerating for thus lengthy, goes to cease. And definitely no cause why it’s going to reverse.

It’s like an enormous snowball that’s been rolling downhill from the highest of the mountain. It might have been stopped early in its descent, however now the factor is a behemoth. When you stand in its method you’ll get crushed. It should cease solely when it smashes the village on the backside of the valley.

This makes me fairly pessimistic about the way forward for freedom within the US. As I stated, it’s been in a downtrend for a lot of a long time. However the occasions of September 11, 2001, turbocharged the acceleration of the lack of liberty within the US. In some unspecified time in the future both international or home enemies will trigger one other 9/11, both actual or imagined. It’s predictable; that’s what sociopaths, which I mentioned earlier, do.

When there’s one other 9/11—and we could have one other one—they’re going to lock down this nation like considered one of their quite a few new prisons. I used to be afraid that the capturing deaths and accidents of a number of hundred individuals in Las Vegas on October 1st is perhaps it. However, surprisingly, the information cycle has pushed on, leaving scores of significant unanswered questions in its wake. And about zero public concern.

It’s going to turn out to be very disagreeable within the US at some point. It appears to me the inevitable is changing into imminent. http://financialliteracyy.com/doug-casey-warns-its-going-to-get-very-unpleasant-in-the-us-at-some-point-soon/

As far as the direction that freedom in the USA is going, notice something about a proposed California Senate bill:

A California state senator has proposed a bill “to kill free speech” that would require state-sanctioned fact checkers to approve Web content.

The proposal doesn’t mention the First Amendment.

Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft explains the plan comes from Richard Pan …

The bill is the “Internet: social media: false information: strategic plan,” or SB1424.

“Existing law prohibits a person, among others, from making or disseminating in any advertising device, or in any manner or means whatever, including over the internet, any statement concerning real or personal property or services that is untrue or misleading, as specified,” Pan wrote.

“This bill would require any person who operates a social media, as defined, internet Web site with a physical presence in California to develop a strategic plan to verify news stories shared on its Web site. The bill would require the plan to include, among other things, a plan to mitigate the spread of false information through news stories, the utilization of fact-checkers to verify news stories, providing outreach to social media users, and placing a warning on a news story containing false information.”

In lawmaker-speak, the reference to “fact-checkers” means only workers approved by the state.

It provides:

(a) Any person who operates a social media Internet Web site with physical presence in California shall develop a strategic plan to verify news stories shared on its Internet Web site.
(b) The strategic plan shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:
(1) A plan to mitigate the spread of false information through news stories.
(2) The utilization of fact-checkers to verify news stories.
(3) Providing outreach to social media users regarding news stories containing false information.
(4) Placing a warning on a news story containing false information.
(c) As used in this section, “social media” means an electronic service or account, or electronic content, including, but not limited to, videos, still photographs, blogs, video blogs, podcasts, instant and text messages, email, online services or accounts, or Internet Web site profiles or locations.

Asked Gateway Pundit: “Getting the picture? It’s a free speech killer. …” http://www.wnd.com/2018/04/bill-requires-state-fact-checkers-to-approve-news-before-its-published/#DCtjIshXvuDBrhKK.99

While SB1424 sounds ‘unconstitutional,’ government officials have allowed enough ‘exceptions’ to US Constitutional freedoms (particularly since 9/11) to suggest something like this is possible.

Consider the following from the Bible:

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
And bend their bows to shoot their arrows — bitter words,
4 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
They say, “Who will see them?”
6 They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep. (Psalm 64:1-6)

With electronic media, “big brother” (the government) can watch you in ways that were not possible in the past. And, perhaps it should be mentioned that conceivably, everyone who posts on platforms such as Facebook is, in a literal sense, a blogger that the USA government may want to monitor (see DHS is monitoring all journalists, bloggers, and media influencers: Will this affect press freedom and lead to the fulfillment of prophecies?). Watch also: Internet Censorship and Prophecy.

Jesus warned:

4 … the night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4, NKJV)

4… the night cometh, when no man can work (John 9:4 KJV)

The Prophet Amos was inspired to record the following:

11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
But shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)

The Bible clearly tells of a time that will come when the word of God will not be found. And that would seem to be, at least partially, because it will be taken off the internet. In the 21st century, the internet is accessed by people in every country, and thus some type of internet restriction/suspension/site removal is coming–this will one day happen to the Continuing Church of God! And the USA will be part of this.

Doug Casey is correct that it will get more disagreeable in the USA. This is part of why we are preparing for the short work the Apostle Paul referred to in Romans 9:28 (see also Preparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word).

But let me add, the USA will then get destroyed per Daniel 11:39 (see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses).

Now, everyone does not think that the USA will get physically destroyed.

Notice the following from Brandon Smith:

World War III Will Be An Economic War

April 11, 2018

There is a mass delusion in the mainstream created I think in large part by too much exposure to movie fantasy and TV fiction. It is an immediate assumption; one that I believe is far more dangerous than many people give it credit for. The assumption is that the next great war, should it occur, will inevitably be a nuclear one, and the doom surrounding it will end everything as we know it. Many people even get excited at the idea of World War III and the notion that it will “wipe the slate clean,” setting the stage for a positive human reformation from the ashes. I’m here to say that this is likely not how things will play out. …

The excitement and dread surrounding potential nuclear warfare distracts from the much more legitimate threat of a staged financial war between East and West (as well as regional wars by proxy in Syria and North Korea which could bog the US down in a mire). It is important to remember that all wars are invariably banker wars — that is to say, almost all wars benefit international financiers by creating an environment ripe for centralization of wealth and political power. This notion tends to confuse some analysts and activists in the liberty movement. …

In many ways a world economic war could be far more disastrous than a nuclear one. In the event of economic collapse just as many people could very well perish as trade infrastructure and freight systems shut down, but the damage can be more easily directed and centrally controlled by financial elitists. Wealth can be shifted into any number of assets anywhere on the planet — so the idea that globalists have anything to lose in this scenario is rather naive. In the meantime, the banks plan to steal even more power for existing organizations like the IMF. As some countries suffer economic breakdown, globalist institutions will only grow.

In a nuclear war, there is only pandemonium. In an economic war, centralized dominance remains possible. The greatest disaster would not be the tragedy of mass unemployment, degradation of infrastructure, loss of monetary stability or loss of reliable food and energy production. No, the greatest disaster would be the continued thriving of banking conglomerates and central bank organizations as large portions of the world crumble. The greatest disaster will be what happens AFTER the collapse — the consolidation of a “new world order,” if the banking elites are not unmasked as the real catalyst behind the next world war. http://www.alt-market.com/articles/3407-world-war-iii-will-be-and-economic-war

Brandon Smith is correct that liberties are being lost. That is becoming more and more clear to those of us who believe that the Bible is the word of God.

Brandon Smith is also correct that we will see a type of economic war. We are seeing the beginnings of international trade and currency wars now.

But do not become so complacent that YOU do not believe that a nuclear (or worse) WWIII is coming.

The Bible is clear that a devastating Great Tribulation will come. Notice some scriptures from Jesus and some of God’s prophets:

21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. (Matthew 24:21-22)

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:39)

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.

4 “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.

5 “Indeed, because he transgresses by wine, He is a proud man, And he does not stay at home. Because he enlarges his desire as hell, And he is like death, and cannot be satisfied, He gathers to himself all nations And heaps up for himself all peoples.

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 2:3-8)

7 Alas! For that day is great, So that none is like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7)

The USA is the power with the “strongest fortresses” in the 21st century and is the most indebted nation of all time. The time is coming that the USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies will be no more. The end of Anglo-Saxon economic and industrial dominance is coming.

And the Bible clearly teaches that military defeat will occur.

Other scriptures point to descriptions that sound like the use of nuclear weapons, or worse:

23 ‘The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning (Deuteronomy 29:23).

19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts
The land is burned up,
And the people shall be as fuel for the fire; No man shall spare his brother.
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand
And be hungry;
He shall devour on the left hand
And not be satisfied; Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm. 21 Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; Together they shall be against Judah (Isaiah 9:19-21).

6 In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste (Ezekiel 6:6).

The time of the Great Tribulation is approaching.

Although the USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies are not likely to repent to prevent this nationally, personally you can repent, and hopefully will, well before the collapse of USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies (cf. Zephaniah 2:1-3; watch also: Zephaniah’s ‘Gather Together’ Prophecy).
