I am beginning to see the picture of the beginning of the tribulations which I believe will begin with economic collapse leading to social chaos, political collapse and war. Currency wars lead to real wars - the fiat system of currency is inherently a flawed system initiated some 40 years ago. Before this currency had value because it was backed by Gold [the Gold Standard]. Fiat money is essentially monopoly money with no real value. It is only of value when you trust me with your money and I trust you with yours. When trust breaks down then the system begins to crumble. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money One sign that countries are beginning to panic is that they are buying up gold or repatriating their gold from other nations [for example Germany has a lot of gold in NY that they want back]. In other words they do not value the currencies any more so they are taking the safe route - therefore we are headed into a gold war. Below is he economist Max Kaiser's report on the the current situation Max Kaiser has based himself in London & reports for Russia Today TV. Why has he done this? He is predicting the collapse of the UK economy [comparing it to the collapse of the Iceland economy]. So he is in London to report on the coming collapse! [I have been wondering why PM Cameron has been preparing a big speech on Europe to be given this Wednesday & reports indicate that he might suggest Britain could leave the European Union - perhaps this would give him more leeway when things collapse in Britain?]. Folks - if Max Kaiser is 50% right we can see that economic tribulations are coming and therefore this collapse will have serious repercussions for us all. History teaches that economic chaos always leads to war, real wars between nations that are seeking to gain an advantage from the chaos. It is close, so very close.
The War in Mali - a Gold War? Mali is one of the world’s largest gold producers. Together with neighboring Ghana they account for 7-8% of world gold output. That makes them a rich prize for nations desperate for real physical gold. So, even as Germany started demanding their gold back from the Bank of France and the New York Federal Reserve, France (aided by the US) decided to invade Mali to fight “Islamists” working for “Al Qaeda.” Of course, “Islamists” has become the catch-all label for people that need to be killed to get them out of the way of the path to riches, and the people being bombed by France (aided by the US) are not “Al Qaeda” but Tawariqs, who have been fighting for their independence for 150 years, long before the CIA created “Al Qaeda”. Left to themselves, the Tawariqs could sell gold to whoever they want for whatever they want, and right now China can outbid the US and France.

Ivan, the Medugorje visionary recently said that the secrets are starting to take place. I have bene thinking and praying a lot about what this means and my thoughts keep turning to the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. The lust for money is certainly a kind of madness. Life is so short and then we face death, judgement and heaven or hell. What good gold then? Psalm 2 1 Why do the nations conspire[a] and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, 3 “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.” 4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. 5 He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, 6 “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.” 7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father. 8 Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. 9 You will break them with a rod of iron[b]; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.” 10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling. 12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
