With the Puppetmasters ordering the Puppet, (a man who has problems stringing together more than five words to make a sentence), to bring the major players in the US Election campaign together to work out a plan to "save" the Wall Street Stock Exchange by the injection of trillions of US Taxpayers Dollars, one could feel a certain tingling in the nether regions as one questions "exactly what is the purpose of the Stock Exchange if NOT to trade in shares and reflect the falls and climbs of reciprocating "Bearish" and "Bullish" market forces?"

The cause of this latest panic-driven "decline" is simple result of overselling of goods to a market that cannot repay it`s debts!

The Wall Street High Flyers have been greedily gobbling up shares in companies that have immorally continued flogging-off property to mortgagees who have not had the ability to repay their loans, hence the Freddie Mac and Fannie May fiascos.

What has followed and is continuing to be exposed is the accelerating collapse of many other companies who have over-committed themselves in their own apparent greed and mis-management in the what is now being realised as a very painful rush to "get part of the action!"

If this situation is hopefully to be remedied by injecting trillions of dollars of US taxpayers money to prop up these errant and failed companies, then the US system is condemning itself and the principles of it`s self-styled Capitalism.

The US is already the World Bank`s largest debtor ( and has no intention of repaying any of it!) so how could they possibly be allowed to borrow more just to simply bolster the interests of the Fat-cats at the expense of the little people?

One may wonder how companies like Halliburton and the like are performing?

Maybe another major conflict is imminent to appease the US insolvency issues?

Ive heard it said that Bush will call in Marshall law b4 the next election :)

Who knows?

Who or what is Marshall law?

I think that the mighty USA's days are numbered.

The Word of God tells us that the last two great powers belong to 1. the antichrist, the Beast of Revelation 13: 16-18 and 14:9-11, who wants a microchip/e-tag/mark on everyones right hand or forehead and whos based in the EU and...
2. the Chinese (see kings of the east...Revelation 9:16 and 16:12).

Nothing is mentioned about the USA in the Bible...so I think she's in for a fall from power.

The reason I push national defence is because it looks like theres no USA in the endtimes to help the South Pacfic region against an incursion by China.

Gibo, you should know better than anyone that, with hindsight, any world event can be shoehorned into some biblical prophecy.

The US will take a beating from this, but no other world power comes close to matching it economically or militarily. If anything, the coming recession/depression will serve as a warning to tighten up the rules on financial free-wheelers in order to remain dominant in the world economy.

Few of us alive today, if any, will see a world in which the US is not on top of the heap.

I think you are right Gibo. Due to ungodliness (the US is full of abortion, homosexuality, immorality, greed, fornication, pornography etc) will be judged. Once they were great senders of missionaries but now they are promoters of secular humanism and all its rotten fruit. Thankfully they still have a good percentage of god fearing people.

The great news in all these events is that we can be sure that the Lord Jesus Christ is still on His throne. He laughs at the fools who say their is no god and who honestly believe they are masters of their own destiny.

It seems it won't be long before Israel is attacked. The US will no longer back them for whatever reason. The exciting thing is that these events were prophesied a long time ago. Unlike the gw high priests who rattle off all sorts of doom and gloom prophecies the bible will again prove to be true as it always has.
