If you have an ear for prophecy, listen to the words of the people we elected to represent us, the American People.
Listen to the trumpets..
Are they sounding an alarm?
Some of them sound almost biblical, talking about going from Liberty into Bondage.

Kind of like Egypt or Babylon.. put under bondage for generations..
Israel was in bondage to Egypt for 400 years.

WE NEED TO PRAY

I'm watching the commies in the House vote on a Bill that removes the power of the State Legislature to have preeminence over how elections are held according to the United States Constitution.
By voting YES on HR4 Voting Rights Legislation, OUR voice at the State level will now be in the control of Washington DC and The Attorney General of the United States.
They will have the authority to determine if you have the right to control your own State.

I hear this whistling in my ear, it sounds like:

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

I'm voting RED in the next election. And at this point my faith in ballots is pretty close to 0
So I'm thinking I'm going to make a BIG RED SIGN and hold it in front of my ballot casting location,
so everyone knows exactly how I voted.
Won't be no mistake about it. I am my signature.
I'm not voting RED because I'm a Republican.
I'm voting RED because Republics vote for ME.

So frustrating today in the House..

Tides going to turn ... just like a boomerang..
Patience.

Do Empty Shelves Count As Inflation?

BY TYLER DURDEN
TUESDAY, AUG 24, 2021 - 03:00 PM


Authored by John Rubino via DollarCollapse.com,

The prices of a lot of things are up these days, which fits the common definition of “inflation.”

Meanwhile, an increasing number of products are appearing at the same price but in smaller packages.This is inflation’s slippery first cousin “shrinkflation.”

Here’s a sampling from a recent study:

• Bounty paper towels: The triple back has shrunk from 165 sheets to just 147.
  
  
• Costco’s toilet paper: A large pack was 425 sheets last year, but now is just 380.
  
  
• Dial Body Wash: Reduced from 21 ounces to 16 ounces, a 25 percent reduction.
  
  
• Ziploc freezer bags: 54 bags last year, but just 50 bags this year.
  
  
• Quaker Instant Oatmeal: 10 packs last year, but just 8 this year for some varieties.
  

Empty Shelves
But what about when the thing you want just isn’t there? Where does the complete absence of something fit on the inflation spectrum? This question is no longer academic, as empty shelves appear in stores across the US. (One nearby example: The Sequim, Washington Costco is – shades of 2020 — currently out of toilet paper.)

From yesterday’s Wall Street Journal:

Why You Can’t Find Everything You Want at Grocery Stores
Labor shortages, raw materials’ scarcity make supermarket supplies unpredictable; some executives say problems are worse than spring 2020’s dearth.

Grocery-store chains are still battling supply challenges that some executives said are as bad as what they saw in spring 2020, when hoarding left holes in stocks of some staples.

Industry executives say new problems are arising weekly, driven by shortages of labor and raw materials. Groceries including frozen waffles and beverages remain scarce as some food companies anticipate disruptions lasting into 2022. A wider range of products is running short and logistical challenges are compounding for many retailers.

Donny Rouse, chief executive of Louisiana-based Rouses Markets, said he is struggling to fill shelves as his company runs low on everything from pet food to canned goods. The chain of more than 60 supermarkets is sometimes receiving as little as 40% of what it orders, prompting Mr. Rouse and his staff to try to secure products earlier and more often. Before the pandemic, Rouses received well over 90% of its orders.

“It is difficult for customers to get everything they want to get,” said Mr. Rouse, grandson of the chain’s founder.

Remind you of anything? Like maybe Venezuela’s ongoing hyperinflation, which looks like this:

As for whether empty shelves equal inflation, that’s complicated. For now let’s just say that 1) shortages are both a cause and an effect of rising inflation, and 2) it’s getting harder to view Third World financial crises as something that can’t happen here.

There are ships loaded with containers at the ports.
Truckers are having a hard time getting loaded.
It's whoever controls the ports controls the commerce.
China owns the ports.

We just passed an infrustructure bill to help the ports.
Where is the money going?

Tighten up your belt, it's going to be a long winter.

...

They can't simply vote on a new law, -- they'd have to change the Constitution. So it's just bluff and bluster to intimidate us citizens, but if the Supreme Court were sufficiently dishonest, it COULD BE UPHELD. And then the citizens would have to over-rule both the Legislators and the Supreme Court.

YEP, -- I think it going to be a long year and a half, which will require more than "tightening", -- with some SERIOUS Planning, Provisioning, and Protecting.

And as we look back on world history, with all of it's violence, all of it's inhumanity, and all of it's terror, -- the Tribulation will be ALL THAT and MORE. So be prepared, ... or not.

It's going to take MIRACLES to survive. Those who don't believe God still works MIRACLES have BIG trouble ahead.

Matthew 24:21-22 (NKJV)
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;

That's why we have to be the voice of consolation and reconcilliation.
There are so many that do not see the storm approaching.
Like Noah's day, we must help to build the Ark.
Two by two even LOL

I have Afghanistan on my mind, can't shake it..

People are physically trying to be evacuted as we speak.
The Church is feeling God move.

I don't know how or in what fashion but we have to be prepared.
I'm not worried about the physical armour. That may only buy you this temporary life.
I'm more concerned with the Armour of the Lord.
This battle won't be won by guns and ammo.
It is a battle for the very souls of men.

THEY NEED TO WAKE UP NOW

(somehow I feel this urgency and I just want to blow the trumpet)

This is where heaven meets earth.
And as it is in heaven (spiritually) as it is in earth (Physically)
thy will be done, o Lord.

The battle is already waging over where our allegience is.
The world is trying to keep us focused on them instead of on the Lord.
It is a very strong persuasion. They have manny arrows and they are increasing, or advancing..

race, inflation, education, gender, the list is getting soooo long.

The world is going to be making a LOT OF NOISE to get your focus off the objective.

Keep your sights on the Lord.

God Bless

Dearest Z,

It seems to me that Lke 22:36 stipulates the FOUR fold priorities, -- a "purse" (ability to purchase), a "bag" (you can't always purchase what you need, so have what you need in your bag), and a Sword (to protect yourself), and if you don't already have a sword, then SELL YOUR CLOAK (your most VALUABLE GARMENT which protects you from the elements).

And so I'd propose that if you were properly prepared, you'd have ALL FOUR elements. And DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE of verse 35 in a world of verse 36!

That's deep brother..
I feel like I been in a battle today.
It's so hot and muggy. I got the AC on but I don't feel it.
I feel like I'm on fire, not fever.

I need some rest, one hour to call my dad. If I fall asleep.. nevermind, i got to keep working..

[Ziggy]

I called him early

I wonder how that bag and purse is gonna pan out when it comes to buying and selling?
What if you have all the gold in the world and they say, if you don't have whatever, we don't want it?
They don't need it, they got plenty.
Only thing we can do is share with eachother what we got..
kind of like having all things in common..
like the book of acts.
We come almost full circle

Hugs

 

[Ziggy]

mostly women...
we are being told that mostly afghan women are being evacauted to third party landing sites for vetting.
Are we getting our troops out, or getting the women out?

nothing is as it seems

Dearest Z,

You're correct in addressing you "supplemental needs" when it comes to your "purse", but you'll have your basic needs in your "bag". So if you can buy or trade for eggs, -- all the better; but your oil & flour staples will be as the widow and her child. And if course as their case and in the case of the boy with the fish & loafs, -- GOD can multiply what you have, but ZERO times 1,000 is still ZERO.


And so rather than have FAITH by itself, place your WORKS alongside -- which are COMPLETE!
