WHAT IS A U.S. RISING DOLLAR WHEN ALL CURRENCIES ARE FALLING DUE TO GLOBAL INFLATION?
I wrote that the dollar would continue falling in the sense that inflation will continue and not in the relative-currency-value sense. People will move back and forth in holding different currencies based upon their perceptions about short- and long-term trends. The value of the dollar is relative to other currencies.
DEVOURING CURRENCY
Right now, all worldly currencies are being strained, because the inherent and fatal flaw in capitalism is being exposed for all to see who don't deny reality. The so-called best worldly currency is actually the most devouring over all.
The U.S. dollar was the strongest, because the American system made the most gain off the rest of the world.
TURNING A BLIND EYE TO PARASITES
Right now, there is no worldly competitor in place with a better and alternative plan, as perceived by the predators. There is so much riding on the U.S. that the rest of the world is turning a blind eye to the rip-off of the American taxpayers for the sakes of those who built a house of cards on Wall Street. The American taxpayers are being forced to work off the debts of the parasitic.
WALL STREET: NO VALUABLE SERVICE
Wall Street did not provide a valuable service when it allowed and even promoted those who undercut the foundations. That of course is the point. Such attitudes are inherent in the system that is based not upon the ethic of Jesus but rather the ethic of self apart from God (oneness).
NO REAL VALUE, EVER
Somewhere and all the time, someone or some group is thinking solely about how to get for self regardless of how bad the outcome for others. That's selfishness and competition. It is not a good plan. It is a bad plan. It is evil. It does not bring real value. It brings for some at the greater overall and negative expense of the rest. Capitalism has fueled global pollution for instance. Capitalists can work on anti-pollution, but they have to fight against the capitalists who are making their gain from pollution. In a system that is based upon unselfishness as the self-with-God as the regulatory spirit, such competition would not exist. All would be for anti-pollution for the sake of all.
MILTON FRIEDMAN ERRONEOUS
Contrary to Milton Friedman's erroneous assertions, the market is not self-correcting. The spiral downward can continue forever for those who are asleep when it comes to unselfishness and cooperation. The greediest of the greedy, who have just seen to it that they be awarded and safeguarded on the backs of the poor and those being evicted from their homes and losing their jobs and pensions, are not moved by what is truly best for the market and for themselves in the end. They are moved by whatever will assure them the most worldly wealth (mammon), power (dark side), and control (ego) until they die in the flesh and go to their reward in Hell. As Jesus said, how can they escape damnation?
WRONG SHEPHERDS
What the Milton Friedmans of the world want the rest of the world to misbelieve is that the rest of the world should leave all the guiding to the Milton Friedmans. It should not. In fact, Milton Friedman should not have been followed at all. His views were, and remain, completely wrong. He was wrong, ignorant, and one of the bad shepherds who helped to lead the flock over the cliff to die and be devoured below. He was not wrong simply because he was a monetarist who believed in using the monetarism of the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates during a contraction to stimulate or prime the pump. He was wrong because aside from that he also believed in as much laissez-faire (let-do) capitalism as otherwise possible.
NO PRIVATE PROPERTY IN HEAVEN
The fact of the matter is that private property is anti-Heaven. There is no private property in Heaven. Everything is public property in Heaven. Everyone simply is of the spirit that wants everyone to be loved and loving — that is harmless and more so beneficial. Therefore, they don't take away from any soul what that soul needs.
GOD AND JESUS SHARE THE THRONE WITH TRUE APOSTLES
God and Jesus share the throne. Jesus, in turn, with God's blessing, shares the throne with his fellow true believers. Did you know that?
Most people calling themselves Christians are under (misled) the false impression that God doesn't share his throne with anyone. That's completely wrong. God is the spirit of one. God wants all to join in God. It's the Bible story as it unfolds beyond the Old Testament.
SECULAR HUMANISM VERSUS CHRISTIAN HUMANISM
It's a huge point of departure for those who can't bring themselves to this point without getting all confused by secular notions of humanism. There are those who want to join God in God's unselfishness, and then there are those who want to replace God for their sole ego sake even while imagining that they are on the ultimately correct path. They don't get it.
GOD AND JESUS NEVER JUDGE OR CONDEMN
The spirit of replacing the God who provides and does not judge or condemn (did you know that God and Jesus don't judge or condemn, ever?) is the wrong spirit. The right thing to do is to join in the spirit of Jesus.
First though, all the lies about Jesus that are told in the churches and on the streets, etc., must be overturned, just as Jesus overturned the liars in the temple. Truth is everything. It is the most important thing there is, because love (God) is truth and vice versa.
NOTHING INHERENTLY WRONG WITH COLLECTIVITY
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the people deciding collectively from their working consciences what they will work on and for and who will benefit. If the people, as a huge community, decide that they will work on providing homes for all, then there is no law of economics that prevents that. The same goes for food and healthcare and education and all the rest.
COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM ISN'T STALINISM
The competitive want everyone to misbelieve that all such endeavors are led by totalitarian dictators. They are only willing to point to the history their kind have written about Joseph Stalin and not about the history of all the places of community property and consensus regulation in the world as counter-proof.
They will falsely claim that capitalism has brought all the benefits and that socialism (of any kind or brand, including the community of the first Christians in Jerusalem) has always failed miserably. That is all lies started by the greediest of the greedy to dupe the people into serving them at the negative expense of the people. It is far, far from freedom from evil and temptation.
VOLUNTARY
The truth it that there is coercive socialism, which is false-hearted. Then there is voluntary community property as with real Christianity. (The Christian Commons Project™.) The greedy don't want the thought of real Christianity out there in the marketplace of ideas. They have worked very hard to keep you from reading these very words in fact.
DUPE THE PEOPLE
They pay people to work in their think tanks to contrive false arguments and to spread those far and wide all for the sakes of the greedy who benefit in their eyes when the common people are duped into thinking that laissez-faire capitalism is some engine of wealth building when in fact it is the engine of always devouring more than it returns. It is a net-loss always.
THOUGHT TERMINATION
They want your thoughts to instantly terminate when you read this. They want you to remain under the trance that they have created via advertising and all of the other processes for pumping falsehood into your head.
BOTTOM-UP TOO
The competitive also want everyone to misbelieve that all such voluntary community-property efforts are top-down or centrally planned by those far away and unable to understand helpful local flexibility. They don't want the people considering the alternative of bottom-up and top-down consensus building where the top learns from the local experiences and helps to facilitate the coordination with other locales in using the best of the best and adjusting locally depending upon local conditions.
UNSELFISHNESS AS PRIME-MOVER
The prime-mover of selfishness is not the best. Everything that humanity does would be vastly better with unselfishness being the prime-moving spirit.
It is selfishness that bring strife, war, theft, rape, abuse, murder, deceit, and on and on. Unselfishness (consistent, non-hypocritical, real unselfishness) brings none of those things but rather brings their opposites.
U.S. CONGRESS COMPLETELY WRONG IN BAILOUT
The U.S. Congress was completely wrong to bailout the Wall Street investment banks the way they did. Congress should have seen to it that the ignorant on Wall Street not fall into abject poverty, but they should have done nothing to guarantee them the lavish lifestyles to which they became accustomed as a result of their greed that ruined things for the rest of the people.
CARE FOR THOSE WITH THE LEAST FIRST
The U.S. Congress should have moved to taking care of those who were already down on account of the deregulated system. They should have moved to take care that everyone who wants one has a home and enough good food and decent employment conducive to a clean environment.
STUPID AND IGNORANT
Why didn't Congress do that? It didn't do that because most of its members are selfish. They rose by selling themselves to the greedy interests. They did it because they are stupid and ignorant. That may sound cold and callous to you, but it is not meant in that spirit.
What they did was stupid. It was not intelligent. The intelligent thing would have been to do those things I've just suggested. They are lacking the knowledge about what is right versus wrong. They falsely imagine that serving the powers that be is the right thing to do and that the common people just don't understand how the proverbial sausage is made — better left to the so-called experts.
Well, they are at best fooling themselves and have been all their lives. The system is wrong. It is inherently wrong. It is fatally flawed and will fall to be replaced by the right system that is based upon what is best.
What is best is not what satisfies selfish wants apart from God. Those accommodations would be better met by seeing to it that everyone's needs are met.
HUMANITY IS FAMILY — DEPENDING
Humanity is a huge family. That's a fact. The term family has many connotations depending upon the context in which it is being used. Jesus was a true expert in semantics. I know of no one who used context better to impart wisdom.
There is family and then there is family depending upon what people understand as true family values. Racists and the ethnically bigoted hate this truth. They don't want to consider all human beings as being relatives. Well, in the spiritual sense, in the spiritual context, then they are not. It's why Jesus said that his real family consists of those who will love each other as they love (watch out for and help) themselves. That doesn't negate the other context in which Jesus knew full well that everyone ought to think and feel that way such that all human beings would be considered blood relatives, which we really are for those who aren't hard-hearted.
FEAR
Now, people read this sort of thing but hedge in their minds. They are afraid to buck the people on Wall Street, such as Henry Paulson. They are afraid not to esteem the greedy who have robbed them. What a mental and spiritual block that is. It is the problem, at least part of the whole problem.
HOW TO RUN THE ECONOMY, THE HOUSEHOLD
Unless and until each individual changes his or her perceptions about what is the right basis upon which to found the economy (the global household), the fall will continue apace.
SPEAK UP HERE AND NOW
I sure would like to hear from people who see this. I'd like to see them adding their comments to post stating that they aren't going to continue being silent about the fact that the worldly system is exactly upside down from how things ought to be and will be once the critical mass is reached of people finally seeing the light and coming to know the real difference between right and wrong.
If you read this and don't contribute to promoting the truth, what are you making of yourself? You remain part of the problem rather than beginning to be part of the solution.

Standing Comment, all posts and pages:
To all homosexuals and their supporters, condoners, promoters, accepters, confirmers, and the like:
Unless you have something completely new that hasn't already been refuted, don't bother. It won't show up.
Rehashing what has already been refuted is a waste of everyone's time.
I'm not interested in casting pearls before swine, giving the children's bread to the dogs, or rebuking a forever scorner.
Learn or go away: There is zero wisdom in homosexuality. Homosexuality is wrong. Nothing any homosexual or anyone else can say or do will alter it. No one needs the Bible to know it either. It's prima facie. There's no such thing as an unrepentant-homosexual Christian. There never has been and never will be. That's the way of it. If you don't like it, change.
Do site searches on the various topics concerning homosexuality to determine if your "point" has already been handled. Currently, I provide three different search methods. The "WordPress" search is still the most thorough.
The same can be done regarding militarism, capitalism, coercion, and many other main issues and themes.
TREATMENT, RUDENESS, POLITENESS, OFFENSE, TRUTH
Many times over the course of this website's existence, I've had commentators complain about how I've treated them and/or others. Much less frequently has anyone taken exception to those commentator's comments. I assume that's because for one, I appear to be holding my own.
Often, I have raised the fact that Jesus called certain people "serpents." I've often also mentioned how he cleaned the temple with whip in hand, not that he used it on anyone. It certainly doesn't say that he did, and neither was he charged with it in the kangaroo court of the serpents who ended up murdering him by proxy just for, among other wonderful things, speaking out and speaking truth.
If I say that those who are engaged in serpentine behavior are the New Testament "serpents," then why take offense at my saying it rather than standing with Jesus and me about it?
If others don't like it that I treat others or them the way I have in this regard, why don't they take it up with the serpents and/or their own consciences and God?
If I wanted to catch flies, I'd use honey. I don't want flies on this level. Human beings aren't to be on the level of flies. If the truth is bitter as vinegar, then ask yourself why and learn to taste it as sweet but not sickeningly so. Why attack the message and messenger, as the serpents did, and become a serpent by so doing?
The issue is not "name calling" on some bratty, childish level. When Jesus said "serpents," he was not being as a brat. His level was completely adult to adults and children. He dared say that the children understood the clear and plain truth before the adults who, afterall, had been abused and socialized by the serpents. He still calls adults back. Those who hear him and know his voice (truth) turn around and do the other required things together as well.
What is it for a human being to be more serpentine or reptilian than what God initially gave? What was and remains Jesus's point? What is the reptilian brain versus the vastly higher human brain with its cerebral cortex and frontal and temporal lobes and specific areas of altruistic sentiments and abilities? What are those higher areas before they are damaged, before the communication pathways to them and between them are diminished by evil that is always some form of abuse? How are those pathways reestablished or created where they never were in this fleshly life?
The snake lays its eggs. The eggs hatch. The snake parent doesn't nurture or raise the offspring. It's every snake for itself. Human parents and family are not designed to be that way. Humans hand down the learning of nurturing. Many people get better training than do others, and many people have a greater aptitude for learning and predisposition for the higher and highest virtues. Many are less abused. People can change for the better and best though, no matter where the starting point. They only can't if they don't — if they reject it.
Snakes, of course, also come in venomous varieties and in strangling varieties, etc., such that they have been attackers and even devourers of humans for eons, guilty and innocent alike.
Now, Jesus knew that most people could relate to what were, and still are, largely considered "good" parenting skills and "good" "family" relations. He regularly used those concepts to get people to consider the wider implications for the whole of humanity. He did know that many would refuse. He let them go. He didn't demand secular or false-religion legislation to rein them in with threats of violence and imprisonment. He was not and is not coercive. Even his Church is a voluntary place to be.
What he still teaches (through the written words in the New Testament and as those connect with the Old and also teaches through the Holy Spirit he definitely sent as he said he would) is, among many other things, that "good" is vastly better than has been commonly accepted and that real "family" is everyone left after all the rest have rejected the higher and highest good. He raised the standards far above the Old Testament and far above the "modern" standard.
The American Empire and the American people in general aren't even touching the hem of his garment, let alone even attempting to stand upright and side-by-side with him.
I point out that Jesus was, and is, a Real Liberal Christian. He is the one who brought back this censored truth that is the light. After he had spoken it and lived it and was murdered for doing so, the censors set about to re-censor it and did. They couldn't put it out though — couldn't completely extinguish the truth. I wouldn't be saying it now again with all credit to God, just as Jesus, if they had been able to completely block it.
I point out that each of those terms ("real," "liberal," and "Christian," along with "Church") are actually redundant terms — synonyms that are so close that they become one. The term "liberal" here is not the common usage, which common usage is a deliberate corruption of the term. There is no harm in real liberalism. There is no vileness in it. There is only beneficence. "Real" may be understood as the opposite of false-hearted, dark side, and dead of the Holy Spirit. Christian is both real and liberal in those senses. To arrive at living, doing, being those full senses requires what Jesus lives, does, and is in the highest. Finally, the Church is the whole.
Who are they who want to drag it down, censor it, work against it, lessen it, ignore it, etc.? Well, who sides with Jesus and who sides against him? Did the serpents side with him then? Do they now?
We call war-mongers "hawks." We call "peacemakers" blessed and "doves." Why do the hawks not take offense at "hawks" but do take offense at "serpents"? "Hawks" is not yet as telling to the general public, but I must tell you that all hawks are serpents. Why do some say, "Greed is good" but take offense at "serpents"? I tell you there is no difference between the selfish and the serpents. Why do people take offense at serpents when they do not take offense at homosexuality? I tell you the homosexual spirit also comes out from the dark side. It is a choice. It is harmful. Many are abused with it. Many never overcome it. Their very brain matter is transformed by it. Then they claim it is good when it remains confusion and definitely wrong and harmful.
Many arguments were put forth in support of tolerance. I understood that Jesus "tolerated," as in he did not execute wrath but rather told the truth and let the blind follow the blind (blind to the truth) into the ditch of their own making. I have watched while the movement has been corrupted into condoning what was once only to be tolerated. I have watched further while it has moved from condoning to promoting even to the youngest children to get to them before the truth does. I have seen evil at work, and I sound the alarm. I face censorship and other negative reactions for it.
As the American Empire claims to be a light to the world, it murders innocent babies by Hellfire missiles fired from predator drones controlled by armchair, video-gaming serpents in uniform. It tortures those who are not even suspects. It spies on its own without even probable cause or reasonable suspicion. It lies its way into wars for spoils and control. It neglects its poor, whom it treads down for the sakes of the superrich — for the sake of the massive flow of mammon from the bottom up (no trickledown — trickledown is a farce and always has been). All is claimed to be okay in America though — that America is headed in the right direction — because soon, even "don't tell, don't ask" will be a thing of the quaint past and homosexuals may be able to sleep together and have sex in the barracks with the "blessing" of the Empire while they practice murdering the innocent for the sake of homosexual, greedy plutocrats who own them and who, in turn, are owned by the dark-side spirit named by God and Jesus as Satan.
Whose side are you on? I speak truth to warn. I don't tell the secular government what to do other than occasionally to say what at least would be less hypocritical within their fallen, unenlightened system. I do so for spiritual reasons. What I want is the Christian Commons.
Now, if you submit a comment:
What you write here against the Real Liberal Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ will mark you in the Biblical sense unless you show that you have turned and are repenting in time to escape the damnation of your own choosing. That's the way of it. Don't be tempted by the devil to stand opposed to the call of righteousness. Overcome such evil temptation. Help others to help yet others to come to righteous behavior through-and-through.
Check out how even after reading this, people will still take it out of context and twist it to an evil end.
