Unlike some of my fundamentalist Christian friends, I don’t think Obama is the Antichrist. But I have theorized that Obama is a puppet President and someone else is pulling the strings that are leading to the end of our way of life as we know it. A sinister plot is being implemented to destroy our economy and put us under the thumb of a tyrannical economic and political system. I have spent some time looking into eschatology, which is the study of end-times prophecy. Although the books of Revelation and much of Daniel are allegorical, anyone who reads them can’t help but be a little disconcerted by the images they contain. Several passages in both books point toward the future formation of a new world government and economic system. In order for that to happen, America’s capitalistic system must be dismantled and the U.S. Constitution abandoned. I believe that is happening right now. Alan Caruba is the writer of Warning Signs, one of my favorite web sites which I read daily. A prolific writer, his insights often provide inspiration for the op-eds that appear on my pages. Mr. Caruba takes a scientific approach and draws on his many years as a reporter to dig up information that many of us are unable to find. I recommend that every one of my readers put his site in their favorites and visit it daily. Here is the link to Warning Signs. One of Mr. Caruba’s recent blogs reinforces my thinking that a plot is afoot to fundamentally change America and destroy our freedoms. He generously gave me permission to reprint the column in its entirety: A Man-Made Financial Disaster by Alan Caruba
You will recall that, shortly before the end of the 2008 political campaign, the White House announced a threat to the entire financial system and called on Congress to enact emergency spending powers. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was enacted on October 3, 2008.
Just eighteen days earlier an event occurred that slid under the radar screen of virtually the entire mainstream media. On Thursday, September 15, 2008, at approximately 11 A.M., the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the nation, amounting to $550 billion dollars. It occurred within an hour or two. The money was removed electronically.
It has never been made public which accounts were affected, nor where the withdrawn funds were sent. If we knew those facts, we would know who launched an attack on the United States that has been more devastating than any in our history.
Had the Federal Reserve not closed down the accounts involved it is estimated that by 2 P.M. $5.5 trillion would have been withdrawn and the entire economy of the nation would have collapsed. It would have been followed within a day with the collapse of the world’s economy.
What followed was the sub-prime mortgage loan debacle that can be traced to the government’s intervention into the housing loan marketplace via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They ended up owning fifty percent of all the loans.
Americans were using home ownership as a credit card and government policies were mandating the issuance of bad loans in the name of “social justice.” Home ownership became “a right”, not an aspiration.
Throughout the 1990s, as communities revalued homes, increasing their alleged worth in order to impose higher property taxes, it was only a matter of time before a financial collapse became a reality. Virtually every State was spending beyond its means and increasing property taxes was the preferred choice to make up the difference.
That collapse, however, was initiated by unknown persons at precisely the time Americans were preparing to select a new president. That was not a coincidence.
In the October edition of “Budget & Tax News”, a publication of The Heartland Institute, a non-profit, free market think tank, there was an article by Sandra Fabry, the government affairs manager for Americans for Tax Reform and executive director of the Center for Fiscal accountability, a project of the organization. The article was titled “61% of National Income Goes to Government.”
“Americans this year had to toil until August 12 to pay for federal, state, and local governments, according to the annual Cost of Government Day report by the Americans for Tax Reform Foundation and Center for Fiscal Accountability.”
“In 2009, the government will consume a whopping 61.34 percent of national income.”
The redistribution of income has reached a point in which 30.36 percent of the money Americans earn is consumed by federal spending. State governments take their percentage as well in income, sales, and other forms of taxation.
It means that Americans worked for 111 days of the year just to pay for the costs of the federal government and federal spending has reached a record 28.5 percent of GDP.
With the passage by the House of the government’s attempted takeover of the nation’s healthcare system and the up-coming cap-and-trade bill, a massive tax on energy use, there is no telling how many more government spending programs, huge redistribution schemes, Americans will be obliged to pay for.
The Obama administration swiftly embarked on an unprecedented spending spree, “bailing out” General Motors and Chrysler, in effect owning AIG, the insurance giant, and giving funds to various banks to “stimulate” loans, i.e. credit, that Americans and their business enterprises depend upon to function.
Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro-Pacific Capital, has long argued that the problems of the American economy were created by excess credit and debt, and that a massive infusion of credit and debt into the economy only exacerbates the problem. He is right.
The “stimulus” has not worked and the billions still unspent by the program should be returned to the American treasury. Taxes should be cut in order to allow Americans to save or spend their own money. Contracts with civil service and teacher’s union should be renegotiated. A vast regulatory revision to remove obstacles to economic growth should be implemented.
Meanwhile the government’s “official” figures say 10.2 million Americans are out of work, but the actual figure is estimated to be closer to 17 million or more. Nothing is being done to facilitate hiring with tax credits and reduced taxation of small businesses, nor are the highest corporate taxes in the world being reduced to encourage domestic investment and growth.
And our present difficulties began on September 15, 2008 in a calculated attack that got Barack Obama elected and was immediately followed by all the subsequent efforts to grow the federal government ever larger to make more Americans dependent upon it. The Obama administration has increased the national debt more than all previous presidencies combined.
There is a determined effort under way to undermine the free market capitalist system that made America the greatest economic and military power in the world. Both the White House and the Democrat-controlled Congress are parties to it, but the identities of those who launched that September attack remain hidden. Thank you Alan Caruba. Your web site is an exceptional source of important information for all Americans.
Bush gets blamed, and rightly so, because of his declared Keynesian proclivities. He made exactly the wrong response to financial crisis.
Yes, thanks.
We must stop these thugs somehow.
I don’t know if you remember that post last year about it was titled something like Financial Terrorist Attack and that’s what many of us thought Soros! Some said even he didn’t have enough money but he also manages big funds, etc.
That evil little man really should be in prison anyway he is a convicted felon in France. Lots of binding ties I suppose kept him out of prison.

Might be able to do it through the states that is if people can drum up support or maybe a lawsuit it really is unconstitutional. You know it also is unequal justice if you think about it American’s will go to prison but illegal aliens will get free care and they can’t force them to buy it not being citizens. I have to look for it I thought I read somewhere that we could sue. When I find it I’ll send it to you.
Something like this

I know I saw another one too I’ll come across it but this would be one way.
Antichrist should come from Europe - so Soros would fit the bill....
He manages big funds with multiples of the money he actually “owns” and he has influence such that he tells people who control a total of multiple of what he controls that he is going go bring down the dollar and they have to work with him to benefit themselves. His X billions of dollars are effectively magnified to maybe a trillion or more.
No one is going to accept Soros as Savior. For one thing he is too old. He won’t live long enough to reach that status. My candidate for Antichrist is Mohammed and his Religion. Mohammedans are working hard and moving fairly quickly to reach that goal of all the world prostrating literally to Allah and Islam.
Wonderfully said.
I've said in the past that I never imagined in my wildest dreams that Americans of my time would be called upon to rise to the same level of challenge as Americans of the mid-1700s were.
But, here we are. We face a menace that is perhaps much deadlier than what our forefathers faced from Great Britain. Much courage will be required of us in the coming years.
And it is coming. The traitors and tyrants now holding the reins of our government fully intend to destroy all that is left of this great nation. Our moment is approaching. I, for one, intend to be counted among the worthy when the dust settles.

I was thinking that you would say something about the “rapture” and since 0 is here already, and ‘R’ hasn’t happened yet....well you get my point.
Another reason is that the anti-christ will be MUCH more slick and polished and fool way more then 52% of the population. Obama is becoming more unpopular by the day, this will not happen to the anti-christ.
But it seems W and McCain and a bunch of others didn’t ask very many questions? If W knew about a big “withdrawal” that means he knew someone was trying to bankrupt us. I can’t believe they don’t know who. And, again, where did the money go? Obviously those in charge should know.
‘How was America dumbed down to this pathetic level? This is the first time that I feel great to be 65, and not
35. I would hate to face what I think the future of the USA
is looking like.’
Well said; I’m right beside you.
This man is right. He is not deluded or seeing chimera. He is observing solid facts.
While the Leftist clowns were shouting “Look up; we’ve got to stop heating up the world!” they had their hands in the till, rifling it of billions of bucks.
Yes, it’s a calculated plan from behind the scenes and Barack is Charley McCarthy. They move his mouth by writing his teleprompter material.
The plan is to pare the United States down to a size that will fit into their planned world government. That’s been a goal of the Bilderbergers, Illuminati, CFR, Club of Rome, Masons and New Agers for a long, long time.
They’re coming together now around the Communists running our government and they find the crazed Muslims useful in their endeavors.
It’s not tinfoil material - it’s the (alternative) news. The mainstream media is owned by the selfsame plotters, so it covers up whatever aspects of their skulduggery that they think we might not like, publishing nice, complimentary advertisements for their crimes, making them look like solutions to problems, most of which don’t exist..
I wish there were something we could do about all this, but it appears they own all three branches of our government and probably the military. Our deer rifles aren’t going to be effective against tanks and A-20 attack planes.
