SIGN O' TIMES
Genesis 6 (King James Version)
11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
With unemployment rising, it's hard to remember that capitalism is a creator of jobs, companies and industries; At least history says it does. Between some of the worst financial panics in history, U.S. capitalism built transcontinental railroads among many other industries such as department stores and manufacturing jobs. The Federal Reserve on Wednesday, 2/19/2009, sharply downgraded its projections for the United States' economic performance this year, predicting the economy will actually shrink and unemployment will rise higher. Almost 600,000 U.S. workers lost their jobs in January 2009 alone. Fed officials anticipated that unemployment would remain "substantially" higher than normal at the end of 2011 "even absent further economic shocks."
Millions of workers, those still employed, can expect to see about $13 extra in their weekly paychecks, starting around June, from a new $400 tax credit to be doled out through the rest of the year. This the so called main street stimulus package from this administration. Couples would get up to $800. In 2010, the credit would be about $7.70 a week, if it is spread over the entire year. Those who complained about the small amount of so called stimulus from formal President Bush, and wanted to see that idiot out of office must feel good now, as they now will cash checks for less. where under Bush’s plan individuals who paid income taxes received up to $600, working couples $1,200 and those with children an additional $300 per child under the agreement. Workers who make at least $3,000 but don’t pay taxes got $300 rebates, well what a slap in your face if you thought this administration is giving you more.
So why the reference to Genesis you may be asking yourself; Violence! I hear each and every day, anger from those around me. Those who are not working are violently angry and their anger is focused in directions unrelated to their situations. Those who are still working are violently angry at their situation and are focusing anger in unrelated areas of their situations. People are throwing all their hopes and expectations in the government and diverting their anger at business and accomplishment. There are false idols and these false idols will cause the flesh of the earth to be destroyed. Placing your faith in government will sink you deeper into an abyss. God, Family, Country! That is the order we should place our priorities. Over the centuries, God, family and country have probably been the most important social units governing the strength of a society. It is this order and this order only that works. They provide feelings of cohesion and a sense of belonging. These are positive forces, which in contrast to other stabilizing forces such as a military or a police force, generally cajole rather than compel the citizens of a community to abide by the existing laws, regulations and conventions.
Genesis 7:11 (King James Version)
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
The fountains have broken up with the banking crisis, the windows have open with the numbers of the unemployed, and the ark is afloat. This time it is not an act of God. This time it is an act of greed which comes from man. The ark has been transformed into a yacht. The exclusive club called our federal and local governments is the ones filed on three by three times three. The ark is afloat on the sea of bodies. Bodies of those loosing their homes, loosing their jobs, loosing their life savings, and the flood waters are rising.
The ark loaded with millionaires who line their pockets with ponzi, PAC and pork monies stolen, swindled and out right embezzled from you and me the paycheck earners.
“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”
Patrick Henry quotes
Thomas Jefferson on Politics & Government
Section 5: The Sovereignty of the People
The purpose of government is to enable the people of a nation to live in safety and happiness. Government exists for the interests of the governed, not for the governors. As Benjamin Franklin wrote, "In free governments the rulers are the servants and the people their superiors and sovereigns." The ultimate powers in a society, therefore, rest in the people themselves, and they should exercise those powers, either directly or through representatives, in every way they are competent and that is practicable.
"[The people] are in truth the only legitimate proprietors of the soil and government." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1813. ME 19:197
"[It is] the people, to whom all authority belongs." --Thomas Jefferson to Spencer Roane, 1821. ME 15:328
Genesis 7:23 (King James Version)
23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within"

President Obama to nation:
‘Day of reckoning has arrived’ 2/24/2009
“We will rebuild, we will recover and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before.”
“The weight of this crisis will not determine the destiny of this nation,” “The answers to our problems don’t lie beyond our reach. They exist in our laboratories and universities, in our fields and our factories, in the imaginations of our entrepreneurs and the pride of the hardest-working people on Earth.”
Genesis 9 (King James Version)
15And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
“Well, that day of reckoning has arrived, and the time to take charge of our future is here,” the president said.
