One of the challenges to responding to news and life from a peaceful perspective is that the news has to happen before I can respond to it. There is a great deal of anticipation about what will be in today’s news. However, there is little to respond to…. yet.

The 2012 NATO Summit starts in Chicago today. The protesters that I follow on Twitter  gathered at 9 AM this morning at Grant Park to say “no to NATO.”

The pre-summit protesters were met yesterday with an army of officers. A few were arrested. One was run over by a police van.

Today promises to be an intense day in Chicago.

It promises to be intense in other locations too.

A rare annular eclipse takes place later today.

The center line starts in China and ends in Texas, coming over my home around sunset. The forecast is for clear skies. It should be spectacular.

According to some people, this is the reboot of a planetary grid as the Sun, Moon, Earth, and Pleiades align with one another. 

Those who observe spiritual signs and news events believe the coincidence of the NATO Summit happening on the same day as the eclipse is significant.

However, since none of this has happened yet, I’ll use today’s article to update a situation I wrote about a few weeks ago.

At that time, I wrote about a couple I called “Fred and Wilma.” They are my tax clients. They had received a zero balance letter from the IRS after owing more than ten thousand dollars for tax years 2007-2010.

When I asked Fred about that letter, he told me they had not paid their taxes. They had discharged them.

I was encouraged about how he had done this because his actions confirmed something I had been hearing about for almost a year. It showed that individuals could use certain legal instruments to discharge debt instead of paying it with Federal Reserve Notes.

Since I am authorized to receive information on Fred and Wilma’s account, I get their IRS correspondence. This past week, I received copy of a letter stating they had an amount due for 2010.

I decided to call the IRS and ask for an account transcript for all four years.

This transcript showed that the account, which had a zero balance a month ago, now had the original amounts due. The discharge instrument showed on their transcript. A reversal was also on it. The description beside the reversal said “bad check.”

I thought this was odd because Fred told me that he did not send a check to the IRS. He sent a “legal instrument.” He had agreed to meet with me and explain exactly what he sent. However, he hasn’t returned my calls or texts to set that appointment so I am still missing that piece of the puzzle.

I’ve discussed this situation with other people who have used similar techniques with the IRS. They all report the same type of thing.

The IRS accepts the discharge for ending collections actions. However, the amount doesn’t disappear from the account.

It leaves taxpayers in a state of limbo.

As I think about it, this seems to be how the current legal and financial system works. Press charges, file liens, get judgments. Then, attempt to enforce that paperwork under the threat of punishment. At this point, appeals are made and the system bogs down. No progress is made. Nothing is resolved.

The drama and conflict takes a slice of each participant’s energy. Those in the middle of the controversy face the challenge of being in the moment while waiting for the “other shoe to drop” on the unresolved situation.

I see only one solution to this quagmire: A complete jubilee consisting of total forgiveness of all debt and wrong doing.

That sounds like a planetary reboot to me.

Could today be the day?

Some of my readers have expressed concern about the tone of recent articles. They are concerned that I’m roaming too far from providing Peace of Mind News into providing stories laced with conspiracy theories and warmongering.

Today, I provide a little perspective.

This website is not designed to report on peaceful experiences.

The reason is simple.

Peace of Mind is not the result of peaceful experiences. It is the result of responding peacefully to whatever you experience. Sometimes, those experiences are anything but peaceful.

In addition, I believe that a peaceful response requires knowledge and understanding.

Sometimes, this knowledge and understanding is disturbing.

This is most evident when we realize how we have accepted the messages given to us by religion, media, and government. This has programmed us to think and believe a certain way.

This belief system has programmed our emotions to respond a certain way.

This programming permeates our lives and influences the way we act from the bedroom to the board room and everywhere in between.

When we observe an event, we frame it within this belief system.

We see other nations as our enemies. We see disease as fighting germs. We see money as evil. We see traditional education as the only way to learn. The list goes on and on.

This belief system is the source of much of our planet’s drama.

Ironically, it provides stability for most of our fellow humans.

Unfortunately, this stability is built upon the lie of duality.

I believe one of my roles in writing about Peace of Mind is to expose this lie. This includes writing about so-called “conspiracy theories” and explaining warmongering.

Let’s look closer at those two terms.

The term “conspiracy theory” has been used to label evidence that doesn’t agree with “official stories.” It implies that people are crazy if they believe this evidence. It distracts from the facts and, in many cases, is all that is needed to keep people from considering them.

Since, the truth of unity is often within that evidence, Labeling that information a conspiracy theory is a smoke and mirrors act, used to keep the world in duality.

Every time I have honestly investigated the evidence behind conspiracy theories, I find compelling information for unity that is often difficult to refute.

Therefore, I often write about this evidence.

Since duality is the root cause of war, much of this evidence is about “warmongering.”

The marketing efforts and lies used to propagate war use terms such as “freedom,” peace through strength,” and “democracy.” This is part of the programming that keeps humanity entrapped in fear and destruction. This is how we are programming to think, feel, and believe a certain way.

This belief system, built on a lie, is crumbling.

When a person discovers this for the first time, he loses stability. Often, this stability is something he has stood upon for decades.

This disrupts his Peace of Mind.

This unresolved state opens a path for questioning everything. It is within that questioning that truth appears. As truth appears, Peace of Mind may be built upon it.

I believe it is foolish to ignore this process.

Therefore, I step into the role of pointing out the lie behind that belief system. I rip apart established programming by pointing out the truths within conspiracy theories and warmongering techniques.

Like I said, this disrupts stability. It disrupts one’s underlying beliefs. It even temporarily disrupts Peace of Mind.

It opens the mind to receive the truth of unity, the only place where permanent Peace of Mind resides.

I readily admit this is a mental exercise within a spiritual journey.

Some readers want to know why I don’t focus more on the spiritual part of it.

The reason is simple.

It is difficult to accept a spiritual truth when much of what we have been taught teaches an opposite viewpoint. Therefore, we must present information that mentally frames the truth of unity because, for many people, they will not accept a spiritual truth any other way.

Yesterday, I briefly mentioned the story in an Al Qaeda magazine that contained instructions on how to use forest fires in the Western United States as a terrorist tactic.

The story especially caught my attention because I live in the Southwestern United States, just a few miles from a National Forest.

In addition, it brought back memories of last summer when a large Arizona wildfire, more than 250 miles away, sent smoke into the valley we call home. The haze blocked out the sun and reduced visibilities to less than a quarter mile.

There were other fires too. One was fifty miles northeast of our home, in the Santa Fe Mountains. The other was forty miles away, in the Jemez Mountains, and on the edge of Los Alamos National Laboratory, a nuclear lab.

My office has two windows on the north wall. I work facing those windows and, for almost a month last summer, I only had to look up to see smoke from each fire framed within each window.

It was also last summer that I heard sirens and realized smoke was billowing from a source to my east, much closer to my location. I quickly put on my shoes, made sure the water hoses were attached to their bibs, and grabbed a pair of gloves and spray nozzles. A fire fighter friend had told me that a mist of water was the best way to fight fire and I wanted to be ready. Officials quickly extinguished the outbuilding fire before it spread.

I was grateful for their quick response.

I live beside the Sandia Mountains and those who live here know that a well-placed fire would cause great destruction. The United States Forest Service (USFS) has allowed dead trees to build a tinderbox on the east side of Albuquerque. The USFS is too understaffed to clear the underbrush and there are draconian penalties if citizens remove the dead wood.

The same situation exists in the Manzano Mountains, southeast of the city. Those mountains border Kirtland Air Force Base, and Sandia National Laboratory, New Mexico’s other nuclear lab. They host empty nuclear silos – at least the general public has been told they are empty.

Except for a couple of relatively small fires, Albuquerque’s bordering mountains have avoided fire damage during the twenty-five plus years we have lived here.

You can see why the forest fire story caught my eye. I live beside a large tinderbox, overdue for a fire, close to a population of a million people, within a short distance of nuclear laboratories and their storage facilities.

There was another reason the story earned my attention.

It doesn’t take much imagination to see a pattern similar to 2001.

There was a major event on 9/11, done in coordination with anthrax attacks. Everything was blamed on Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda.

As I have shown in previous articles, Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda are CIA operatives.

An investigation of the anthrax attacks confirms CIA involvement. The evidence links the anthrax to a CIA contractor. This contractor created the anthrax strain used in the attacks, quite likely at the request of the CIA. Some sources claim that contractor was the ONLY source of that particular strain.

Anthrax was being promoted as a terrorism threat prior to 9/11.

It appears that Chicago is setting up as a major event, comparable to 9/11.

Based on the mainstream media promotion, it is reasonable to assume that the follow-up acts of terrorism would be major forest fires in the Western United States.

Said another way, New York is to Chicago as anthrax is to forest fires.

I could be wrong about all of this and I hope that I am.

However, if the pattern holds, we will see a major false flag event this weekend in Chicago followed by forest fires in the Western United States.

What is the peaceful response?

Remain aware of how the current military power structure manipulates terrorist activities to stir up fear and create a need for the products and services they offer. Understand that any dramatic weekend events are the last violent jerks of this dying power structure.

And, if you live in the Western United States, keep your shoes, gloves, water hoses, and spray nozzles close at hand.

I wrote yesterday about Greg Braden’s documented research on prayer. It shows that if the square root of one percent of the population is activity involved in prayer or a similar spiritual exercise towards a peaceful goal, things change. In other words, it only takes about 8400 praying people to create peace for the world’s seven billion people.

I believe we are approaching that number.

In fact, we may already be there.

It is important to remember this is only the beginning.

World peace requires educating those who don’t yet understand the situation we face today. Therefore, I continue to write about current events and how to respond peacefully to them.

Today, I provide an update about the possibility of a false flag event in Chicago.

According to Occupy The Roads, law enforcement is already in full tension mode.

We met Janet and Tino of Occupy The Roads a month ago when they drove their RV – called the “V” – through Albuquerque. They used our basketball court to park the V while resting from their travels.

The V has been all over the country, at the biggest Occupy events, providing media support for participants. They intend to be in Chicago to support the protests for this weekend’s NATO meeting. As of Tuesday evening, they are reconsidering how to do this.

They arrived in Chicago and, with the help of a local resident, found a legal parking space.

They only stayed there two hours.

During that period, undercover cops took pictures of the V, drove by numerous times, hit them with spot lights, and set up surveillance.

Occupy The Roads didn’t want to bring unwanted heat to their Occupy Chicago friends so they decided to leave and park in South Bend for a few days.

Local law enforcement could have investigated in an honest and open manner. Instead, the responded with police state tactics by using intimidation and fear.

If Chicago’s enforcement agencies are that uneasy about a single media RV parked in a legal manner, how will they respond when they encounter a greater threat?

Obviously, the atmospheric tension is building in the Windy City. The story linked here says fencing and plywood is going up around McCormick Center. This is in addition to the concrete barriers being erected to protect from a “large vehicle bomb.”

There is so much protection that I have to wonder if the barriers are to keep the terrorists out or to keep the participants in when an act of destruction goes on inside the meeting site.

As I said a couple days ago, false flag events are usually preceded by warnings, hidden as clues. I see lots of clues in Chicago.

I see clues in another place too. ABC News recently reported on a story published in an Al Qaeda magazine that gives details on how to use forest fires in the Western United States as a terrorist tactic.

After 9/11, anthrax became the follow-up terrorist threat. I have to wonder if forest fires will serve the same roll after the Chicago false flag. (I’ll write more about this tomorrow.)

Remember, the goal of false flag events is to distract us from what it really going on in our world. It is important that peace-loving people avoid being sidetracked by false flag drama and stay focused on the reality of transitioning to a peaceful world through implementing a new financial system.

The new financial system is needed because the old one is crashing.

Things are dire on the European financial front. Greece’s bank account holders pulled nine hundred million dollars, in the form of Euros, out of their accounts over the past few days.

Today’s news from Spain shows that account holders have withdrawn more than a billion dollars’ worth of Euros from their accounts.

These account holders believe the Euro is taking its last breath. When the Euro falls, you can expect the Dollar to go soon thereafter.

These momentous events are ushering in change. They remind us that, today, it is more important than ever to be one of the 8400 that hold the vision of a peaceful and prosperous world.

Today’s image is from the Chicago Tribune.

In the midst of all the stories about false flag events, mass arrests, bank failures, and currency collapses, I’m greatly encouraged by another theme I see in current news.

Several stories from insiders say the mass arrests may NOT be necessary.

This doesn’t mean the financial transition isn’t necessary.

It means there is a better way to make this financial transition.

Personally, I have been struggling with using arrests to initiate the financial transition. I have been willing to support it with the hope that this would be the last time force would ever need to be used.

However, I felt like a hypocrite for doing so.

I believe our world is moving towards world peace.

I believe a financial transition away from fiat currency into system that uses real assets is the next step.

I believe a peaceful world does not include forceful actions. We do not get to peace via war.

Now that I’m hearing we can have a financial transition without force, I’m elated.

The solution is quite simple. The parties in the various lawsuits make a lawful agreement and keep it. If this happens, en-FORCE-ment isn’t necessary.

We have assumed those who control The Fed will resist this financial transition. We have assumed they would need to be forced from their belief system. It is time we release these assumptions.

Every day, I read reports of people who say, “My eyes have been opened to the truth of….” Then, they list topics such as how war is used to create markets for certain businesses or how currency isn’t a real asset. They understand these things must change for us to experience world peace. If those people’s eyes can open, why can’t our leaders’ eyes leaders open?

Several years ago, I moved from a belief system of judgment and punishment to one of love and acceptance. I moved from a belief system of acquiring massive wealth to one of seeing the wealth around me and realizing I have what I need each day. If my eyes can open, why can’t our leaders’ eyes leaders open?

Those who have selfishly used the world’s assets are just as capable of changing as anyone is.

What will it take for this to happen?

Malcolm Gladwell says it takes about ten percent of humanity to create The Tipping Point for an idea. That means seven hundred million people have to be convinced of the idea of world peace before we can experience it. I suspect ten percent of the world’s population understands our current situation. However, seven hundred million is a large number.

Greg Braden says the number needed for change is less, much less.

His documented research shows that if the square root of one percent of the population is activity involved in prayer or a similar spiritual exercise towards a peaceful goal, peace happens. In other words, it only takes about 8400 praying people to create peace for seven billion people.

Is it possible that, as things have heated up over the past few months, more and more people are focusing their attention on creating a peaceful transition?

Is it possible that, as we acquiesce to the need for a new financial system, we are releasing the fear of rioting and martial law?

Is it possible that we are about to walk away from the point of destroying our world?

It appears that, collectively, we are closing in on this number of people. In fact, based on the changes we are experiencing and the messages coming to the surface, we may already be there.

After all, if what Braden says is true, 8400 people collectively holding a vision of world peace, brought about through a financial transition, is all it would take.

Arrests would not be necessary, rioting and martial law would not happen, and we could make this transition in a peaceful manner.

Starting today, I’m seeing that vision, sending energy to it, and manifesting it from the spiritual realm to the physical realm. I’m holding space for more eyes to open.

I believe the signs of this weekend’s government meetings and solar eclipse indicate we we are at a crucial time in our evolution.

I believe we have the power to choose how this ends.

I believe that, as 8399 other people join in this effort, we will combine with the change energy of the upcoming weekend and move bravely into a peaceful society.

I have noticed an increase in tension and fear over the past few days.

The fear porn sites are forecasting increasingly destructive scenarios.

The lightworkers are writing almost exclusively about releasing fear and embracing love.

Either at a conscious or subconscious level, we believe that the old power structure and financial system is about to end. Therefore, we are imagining the worst.

Some people believe there will be a last-ditch effort by those in power to hang onto it.

This is what happened in September 2001. Depending on which story you listen to, there were several motivations for 9/11. Removing gold from the World Trade Center complex and destroying financial evidence stored there are often listed as motives. Other common reasons for 9/11 include the Military Industrial Complex’s (MIC) need for an excuse to go to war in the Middle East and reducing the freedoms of American citizens.

As we have become knowledgeable about 9/11, we have started looking closer at other catalysts for war. This includes Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the Lusitania, and the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. There is evidence that each situation was a false flag event used to motivate Americans to participate in war.

Now, as pressure builds in the financial industry, we are anticipating the next last-ditch effort.

I wrote a couple days ago about this weekend’s NATO Meeting in Chicago. The evidence shows huge opportunity for a false flag event there.

A false flag event usually consists of a disaster, likely staged by the MIC, easily blamed on an enemy. The event provides ample drama and confusion. Then, the media, using press releases generated by the MIC, comes along and resolves the situation by crafting a story that works for the MIC’s benefit.

For example, 9/11 was blamed on al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. Ten years later, this story carried so much weight that most of the world celebrated the announcement of bin Laden’s death.

They celebrated in spite of the fact that mainstream media reported bin Laden’s death from kidney failure in December 2001, just three months after 9/11.

They celebrated in spite of the substantial evidence that Al Qaida and Osama bin Laden are CIA operatives. I’ve seen so much evidence to this effect that I now hear “CIA” whenever someone says Al Qaida and Osama bin Laden.

(By the way, it doesn’t stop with those names. Almost every recent story about terrorism arrests has a tie back to the CIA or FBI. Just as it is common knowledge that law enforcement brings drugs into the United States so they can arrest users and fill prisons, law enforcement is now finding those who might commit terrorist acts and encouraging them to do so, even to the point of providing terrorism materials. Then, these people are arrested and we are told no one was ever in any danger.)

Often, false flag events are preceded by warnings that the events are about to happen. This prepares the public for accepting the story afterwards. Michael Ruppert describes the real-life preparations for 9/11 in his book Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil.

In addition, renowned novelist Tom Clancy provided a glimpse of a 9/11-type event in Debt of Honor, published in 1995. The book ends when a pilot crashes a plane full of fuel into the Capital Building during a joint session of Congress.

If you understand how a false flag event works, it is easy to see where one might take place.

This weekend in Chicago looks tailor-made for a false flag event.

Chicago now includes a military Red Zone, a no fly zone with shoot-to-kill orders, and evacuation plans for the city. Public military drills are taking place and many of the news stories about this weekend include the words “nuclear,” “dirty bomb,” and “bioweapon.”

Some of the stories have already mentioned the groups that will be blamed for the disaster. Put the search terms “NATO false flag Chicago” into Google and almost half a million hits appear.

Of course, nothing may happen.

However, it if does, I’m sure the press releases have already been written.

How will we respond to the story this time?

Will we ignore the pattern of the past one hundred years and buy into it, giving the MIC and those who control our financial system another opportunity to dupe us and delay the process of making real change? Or, will we call their bluff, tell them we don’t support their efforts to kill and enslave us, and move forward in a peaceful manner?

I have reasons to believe we will respond peacefully this time. I’ll use tomorrow’s article to explain why.

If you are a new reader on this website, you may wonder what my big picture view is for all of these scenarios I’ve written about over the past couple of weeks. You may wonder why I call one scenario The Abundance Plan (TAP) when it contains drama such as potential martial law, mass arrests, and the collapse of our current financial system including the complete devaluation of currencies.

This article explains that.

I believe that humanity’s reality consists of the following:

• Living within the moment without a past story
• Living life by following the signs
• Experiencing pure potential where anything is possible
• Experiencing the reality of being connected to everything else because we are all one

Within this reality, we are free to experience miracles, love, abundance, and peace.

All else is just an illusion.

Therefore, I become excited about anything that helps remove the illusions so we can more clearly see the reality.

For example, I believe each individual may experience abundance no matter what is going on with the economy. However, many people perceive that our current economic situation is an obstacle to this abundance. Removing this obstacle makes abundance easier to experience.

One step on this road to abundance is to do away with the fiat currencies such as the Dollar and Euro. We have been conditioned to believe these are real assets even when we innately know they are not.

This game-playing with fake money tells us we are poor. A person may be experiencing the fullness of abundance in all areas and still feel poor because he knows the money is his bank account and in his pocket is not a real asset.

This is why I write about what some see as fearful stories. These include articles about The Dragon Family Lawsuit (AKA The Trillion Dollar Lawsuit) and the potential arrests of Illuminati bankers.

This is why I write about new stories like this one in India where a lawsuit has been filed by a citizen petitioning the government to bring India’s gold back within its borders.

Worldwide abundance requires trade based on real assets. Fake currency may be manipulated by The Fed because it is based on debt. Furthermore, the only way to sustain fake currency it is to increase debt, through never-ending growth. This process is wasteful. It creates inflation.

It produces today’s situation where, to make ends meet, the vast majority of the population must spend most of its time in revenue-producing activities.

This hinders abundance.

Therefore, things must change.

Because mankind has a history of not choosing the most peaceful path to change, change has become associated with fear.

We must face this fear to continue on the road of abundance.

To do this, we must consider the various scenarios for ending the current financial system, including one that I call “TAP.” Of all the scenarios I have reviewed, I believe it is the most peaceful way to make the change that I believe is necessary for every person to easily experience abundance.

My hope is that the transition for the old to the new will be completely peaceful. I realize it may not be.

Therefore, I attempt to explain what is happening so we will accept the change. We will realize it is a step towards abundance… and love and peace.

My purpose for writing about these things is NOT to create arguments or fear. My purpose is not to endorse one political candidate over another.

I respond to news stories, as reported by various sources, while looking for signs that humanity is recognizing our true reality and creating positive change.

Tomorrow, I’ll continue this process.

Momentum for ending The Federal Reserve system is building on several fronts.

Protestors are calling for the end of The Fed because it doesn’t work for everyone.

Watchdogs say ending The Fed is the only way to stop the corruption.

Spiritual teachers visualize ending The Fed because they believe it is a step towards creating unity.

Members of the United States Congress are calling for ending The Fed too. The article linked here reports on a Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy hearing that took place last Tuesday where alternative economic systems were discussed.

What will it take to reach the tipping point for this change?

There are indicators that we are almost there.

Spiritual teachers and lightworkers say we are currently in a time that is conducive to change because of the alignment of heavily bodies.

Last Saturday, Earth experienced a perigee full Moon.

An annular solar eclipse will take place, Sunday, May 20. Richard Hoagland believes this is so important that he has scheduled a special internet event.

Venus transits the sun on June 5 and 6 (depending upon location).

The alignment of celestial bodies is often tied to historic events. Hoagland has produced a great deal of documentation on this phenomenon. To the casual observer, this seems like so much coincidence. Hoagland implies that many of these events are well-planned ceremony.

This month’s heavenly events appear to set the celestial stage for change.

This is true on the terrestrial stage too.

The Group of Eight (G8) Summit takes place at Camp David on May 18 and 19.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) meets in Chicago on the 20^th and 21^st.

Rumors are flying that The Fed will be discussed during these meetings. More specifically, an announcement may be made. Like I said, these are rumors.

There are confirmed stories that numerous protests are planned for the NATO meetings. The Occupy Movement, union groups, and many others will be there.

So will the military.

Sections of the city have been declared a “Red Zone” on the ground and a no-fly zone has been established for a portion of the city. The no-fly zone is serious business. It is backed by a shoot to kill order.

The Red Cross in Milwaukee, ninety miles to the north, has been told to prepare to receive evacuations from Chicago.

In fact, the entire Chicago area seems to be preparing for “something big to go down.”

Naysayers continue to tell me the change to a new financial system will usher in riots and martial law. They tell me that a new financial system will give those in power more control. They are afraid that events in Chicago, including protests, an announcement about The Fed, or some kind of false flag/martial law event could be disastrous.

I understand that going through a transition can be scary.

Even though I live in a rural area, I am less than an hour from two nuclear laboratories, an Air Force Base, and a population of more than a million people. I realize that things could become very intense very quickly.

However, responding with fear is not how we get through this.

Opposing the change is not how we get through this.

Instead, we see the opportunity for change.

We prepare for it.

We visualize a peaceful transition.

We trust that we can ride the momentum of this time into a brighter future and an economy that works for all.

Are you with me on this?

I am often asked if TAP or martial law or anything like it has to happen. The most common way I hear this question is, “Why can’t we just continue under the current financial system? Isn’t it working OK the way it is?”

On the surface, this is a valid question.

Underneath, it is a revealing question.

Those who ask it have never experienced being bullied by law enforcement or military. Those who ask it have not looked closely at the facts surrounding 9/11. Those who ask it have not honestly determined why it was necessary to kill more than a million people in retaliation for 9/11. Those who ask it have not looked carefully at any of the wars in the past one hundred years.

I’ve covered these topics previously. A simple examination of the facts indicates there is an underlying agenda at work. This agenda is tied to our financial system.

Underneath, it is a naïve question.

Those who ask it do not understand accounting principles.

I don’t intend to be condescending when I say this. I spent years working as an accountant and tax preparer before I wrapped my brain around this information.

Quite simply, accounting principles do not allow the current financial system to sustain itself.

Our government, like people often do, uses crises as an excuse to make poor financial decisions. We assume the future will be more prosperous than the present. Therefore, it is easy to justify borrowing money to make extravagant expenditures.

Eventually, the bills come due.

Each manufactured crisis provides an excuse to borrow more money. We borrow enough to handle the present disaster and enough to pay the old bills.

When there is no more money to borrow, the current system allows The Fed to create more. This increases the overall money supply. It reduces the value of each dollar, raising the price of everything in the marketplace. In effect, it levies a tax on everyone who buys products.

Like a rubber band stretched too tightly, this system is about to break.

The news over the past few days confirms this.

Yesterday’s headlines featured Thursday evening’s announcement by JP Morgan that they recently lost two billion dollars through sloppy credit trades in their hedge funds. These funds are supposed to reduce their credit risk, not increase it.

By the end of the day Friday, Fitch had reduced JP Morgan’s credit rating. Many financial experts believe this is the beginning of the end for JP Morgan. If this mega-bank falls, it will take others with it.

This week’s news from Europe tells us their economic situation is hanging by a thread.

The Dollar is intricately linked to the Euro. If Europe falls, this will accelerate the situation in the United States.

This brings us back to the original question.

“Why can’t we just continue under the current financial system? Isn’t it working OK the way it is?”

The reason we cannot continue under the current system is because the system is injured. It is walking with a severe limp on legs that cannot be repaired. It is not working OK the way it is.

The continual inflation means financially responsible people must spend more hours making money. This reduces the time available for other activities and creates a domino effect of neglect. Many of us are so busy making money that we don’t realize the other parts of our world are deteriorating.

This system has served its purpose. It has gotten us to here.

Now, we can do better than this.

It is time to discard our current financial system and institute a new one.

Our acceptance of this fact will allow us to transition peacefully.

Yesterday, I wrote about reports that say President Obama is aware of The Abundance Plan (TAP). These stories claim that Obama has signed Executive Orders that possibly violate the constitution. However, they also benefit TAP.

In addition, I said there is a furor escalating throughout internet and private discussion groups over TAP and especially over the President’s actions.

This furor comes from the fact that even though the President’s careful actions may be setting up a lawful stage for massive arrests of Illuminati bankers, it could also be creating a legal framework for something sinister: the implementation of martial law.

Doug Hagmann, who claims to have connections with a government insider at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), believes the United States is on the verge of full scale civil war.

The story linked here references his insider with the codename “Rosebud.” Hagmann has known this insider since 1979. He says Rosebud started out as a patrol officer and is now working for a federal agency under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security.

Rosebud asserts that DHS is preparing for civil war in the United States. DHS believes this war will be caused by the complete collapse of the dollar as a result of massive inflation.

The source goes on to say that DHS is preparing to fight the American people. This includes requests for 450 million rounds of ammunition – that’s a bullet and a half for each United States citizen. Other sources say this includes the so-called FEMA camps that resemble Nazi prison camps.

In several discussion groups, I have noticed that many people are wondering whether TAP, as I have described it over the past few days, could be a covert way of initiating this civil war.

They believe people like me have been duped by so-called spokespersons with the messages of mass arrests and a peaceful transition to a new financial system.

They believe TAP is a trap that allows the Illuminati-controlled power structure to implement its plan to reduce the world’s population. They believe TAP is being used to reduce resistance to martial law by encouraging a part of the population to see arrests, instituted by United States Marshalls and the Pentagon, as a good thing.

They believe Obama is a willing accomplice to this action. Therefore, he will perpetuate the collapse of the United States dollar so that massive inflation can take place. This will result in rioting in the streets and martial law.

They believe this is the explanation for his signing of the Executive Orders that allow government forces to shoot American citizens participating in protests.

They believe TAP will only provide fuel for the military industrial complex and justify their illegal and horrific actions by creating a situation that causes riots.

They say they wish TAP would happen as described. However, they just can’t see it taking place. Therefore, TAP must be disinformation.

I have listened carefully to their arguments.

I see that the two scenarios of TAP and martial law look similar on the surface.

The TAP scenario includes mass arrests by United States Marshalls and the Pentagon, the zeroing of the dollar, and a temporary banking shutdown and takeover of the utilities systems. People who don’t understand may riot. An education system is in place to help them understand.

The Martial law scenario includes the collapse of the dollar resulting in a business and banking shutdown. People who don’t understand may riot. An execution system is in place to end the rioting.

I realize that, in each situation, the key to survival is being prepared to respond peacefully. Therefore, I continue to write.

Of course, there are things we can do to help our world choose TAP over martial law. I will look at some of those choices in tomorrow’s article.
