Only one king can be at the table for a double mined man is unstable in all his ways. Look in the mirror, Do not be fooled. Remember the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Time is short in this life. The change of season is upon us. Study thyself to be approved before God. Study his word. Secondary is math proofs and study. Notice his word has twenty–six letters a reflection of God an overtone.
Test the spirits, seek out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Even the elect can be fooled. As in the days of Noah, so shall it be……..
“Cornelius wake up,” said Tommy Mute shaking me violently, “The lecture is over.”
“As in the days of Noah, so shall it be, as in the days of Noah so shall it be” plagued my mind as we walked out of the auditorium.
Goodliar and I left Tommy Mute in Iceland. We gave him all the cash that we had.
“Don’t worry about me,” Tommy Mute said. “I’ll stop by Ireland first and then move onto my mission in Africa after a few short weeks. It’s much too dangerous to enter America. The three of us had shared information between us on the world wide snuffer wagons that president Osoma and EU leaders had deployed. No place was safe for Jews and terror was spreading Worldwide. We said our Goodbyes. Tommy Mute paid cash for an upstairs room and Lou and I started up the sea plane. I shouted at Lou above the engine noise.
“Lou, I didn’t know that Tommy Mute lived in Africa. I’ve heard about the killing of Christians, the killing of white farmers, the AIDS epidemic. I thought the world had given up on Africa. The Global warming people have targeted all Africans for death! Doesn’t Tommy Mute know a lost cause when he sees one? Both the Church and Islam the (east and the west) have held a holy book in one hand and a bomb or chains in the other killing off or enslaving all the Africans for hundreds of years. Do we save them, then kill them or kill them to save them or does it matter?”
“The true church, like Tommy won’t give up,” said Lou, “Only the nations will. Leaders like Osama, and of course the Great Whore on Babylon herself.”
“What did you say?” I asked.
“Remember this, Cornelius,” replied Lou. “Wherever the flock of God is, there you will find the lion also. Wherever God is and whatever God does the angel is not far off. He is always on the hunt to kill, steal, or destroy. He is the dark cards in the mirror trying to copy God. The angel wants to be as the most high. Look at the letters on your cap. Pull down your visor say left hand right hand.” We pulled into the ships big back door and docked even as we were talking!
“So you are saying it’s my fault, Brother Lou?
“Look in the mirror again, Cornelius!” said Lou as he got out of the plane. I think Lou pretended to know more than he really did.
“See yeah, Cornelius,” Lou shouted, as he jumped onto the dock and waved goodbye.
Alone now I thought to myself. Between being Holiness, my giant, Whit’s book, this ship, being a drunk, Captain Coe and this fellow Goodliar; it ain’t no wonder I’m going nuts. Goodliar sounds good at first but always leaves something missing in the end. Sometimes you just don’t know and you have to go with your gut.
After a full days rest I was back at my big round Corner table at the ship’s Gospel Café. Two students had a copy of the New York Times and were talking about the need to raise taxes before America defaulted on its debt. These two young students were sitting together both of them were named Kishia. One ordered an expensive fancy whipped chocolate coffee. The table filled up and the anti-professor weighed in on taxes and debt!
“Kishia,” I asked, “That’s a large fancy drink you ordered. Why did you buy one?”
“I love chocolate, Cornelius, and I made a good grade on my test so I deserved it” she giggled.
“I scored a high grade too,” the other Kishia laughed, “but I don’t have money to burn. My daddy’s not rich like fancy pants here”.
“That’s our lesson for today,” I replied. “Note she desired the drink and she had the cash, so she demanded it. Nobody forced her. That is the simple key to understanding economics; the buyer always pays. Every one of us makes choices of buying and selling every day; this fact is simple and always true so remember “Only buyers pay.” This is true when it comes to taxes or coffee or Newspapers. Kishia number one’s boyfriend, Jim Roberts, sat down with us and explained how hard he worked cutting grass last summer. Jim boasted that he would never pay that much for a fancy coffee drink. He said that rich people like Kishia’s father should pay more in taxes to help out America.
“Jim, how much did you charge for cutting grass?” I asked.
“Some lawns were very small so I charged only $10,” said Jim. “Others I got paid up to sixty dollars each.”
“Did you pay income taxes on your grass money?”
“No, cash money only,” laughed young Jim.
“I see here in the paper that President Osoma has hired more IRS agents to catch tax cheaters like your self Jim. What would you do if he made you pay taxes?”
“That wouldn’t be fair,” said Jim, “I’m not rich!” the grass might not even be worth cutting if I had to pay tax, Cornelius.”
“What if you were cutting my grass for $10 and I told you that all I could pay you was $5. Would you still do my grass?”
“Do you know how much gas costs since Osoma has been elected, Cornelius? I can’t afford to start my mower for $5. I’m sorry.”
“That is my whole point, Jim. The reason I have to pay a young man back home $10 to cut my grass is because he won’t do it for five or six dollars. This is how income taxes work. If Osoma hired enough agents and charged you 50% tax on cutting grass what would you do? Would you then cut a yard for only $5? No! I would have to pay you $20. Osoma would take his $10 and you would still get your $10. This is true because you won’t do it for $5. The same is true for “fancy pants” father in his work. “The Buyer always pays.” Most income tax is really a sales tax on labor and causes unemployment. Some people will not pay the $20 cost of getting their grass cut and so less young men like you, will be cutting grass, others will complain and pay to cut less often.”
“Her daddy does income tax returns. He runs a big company and owns some stock in Ford Motor Company. He is on TV doing advertisements everyday about doing taxes. My father drives a big rig truck. He “works” for a living. My father says he pays too much in taxes and it’s just not fair, and that Fancy Pants father should pay more.”
“This simply is not true,” I answered. “If you increase taxes on “Fancy Pants” (Kishia’s) father he will “pass on the cost” to people getting their taxes done and double his price. Your father the truck driver is the same. If his boss calls him on the phone and says; I have a run to Chicago for you tonight it pays the driver your usual $100 but Osoma has taken half of your money so will you do it now for only fifty. “What would your father say then Jim?”
“I’m not driving all night to Chicago for only fifty bucks, give the run to somebody else. No one is forced to drive a truck, and no one is forced to do other peoples taxes for them. They do work only when the price is right and someone is willing to pay. Jim’s father’s boss would have to pay $200 and increase the freight rate charge to get a truck driver to take it. When the freight rate goes up then less trucks will be on the road because some freight will not be worth shipping. Note taxes cause unemployment, and the buyer, only the buyer always pays”.
“We must raise taxes on the rich, Cornelius,” cried out Kishia number two. “We must raise taxes to save America before we default on our debt.” Fancy pants father makes money off of his Ford stock also, and only pays capital gains tax. It’s just not fair.” Kishia, people who buy stock are part owners of a company, Ford has thousands of different owners; the small dividends paid per share to stock holders has all ready been taxed many times before. The Ford Motor Company pays income taxes at 35% on earnings, and then the owners pay 15% again if they share in that profit, and after tax income was used to buy or invest in the stock in the first place.
Taxing them more would only raise the price of Ford products or put them out of business. “Let me tell you students a story that will help you understand the world economy. A simple story about a small island named America and its king that became very powerful after the world war. America was a small Island in the middle of the sea rich with forest and farmland and blessed by God. Good King Washington ruled over the fifty families who lived there. He was a Godly, just, and honest ruler. The King owned one half of the land ran the only bank and ran the only store (king-mart) where everybody shopped. He also owned a gold mine which made him fifty coins a day. The king kept taxes very low. His people worked hard and the store was always full of wonderful goods to buy and his people were in happy days.
One day another king came to visit who had a large ship and a kingdom far away. This Eastern King offered to sell King Washington shoes to put in his store for only $2 a pair. Since he sold shoes for $35 dollars a pair, King Washington was delighted. King Washington had nothing to sell the visiting king (at least not much.) He bought the shoes and sold them in his store for eight dollars a pair and made lots of money. The cheap shoes were very popular and the people of America praised the good king. The shoes flew off the shelves and he ordered another ship load. Everyone was happy except the five families who used to make shoes on the island. They all went out of business they could not make shoes that cheap. The many Eastern kings from China and India used slave labor. They were evil kings who did not pay honest free market wages, they had so many slaves they wanted some dead anyway.
The next King to stop by had a load of cars for sale for only $200 each. King Washington was delighted he could sell cars for $800 a piece at King-Mart, make a fortune and save his citizens money. The cars on the Island cost $1,500 each back then. Again everybody was happy except the ten families who made cars on the island. They all went out of business. The king needed some office workers and also needed sailors for his new Navy so he hired the people who went out of business to work for him. He had his New Navy sail around the island and they looked very impressive. His office workers were very happy because they only worked four hours a day and could retire after a few years and do nothing. The king did have one main problem. He was running out of gold coins, because each time another king came by and he paid them in gold his pile of gold got smaller. The next time a ship came by the good king would be out of gold money! He had to do something different.
The king printed up paper money that was redeemable for gold at his bank and put the little Gold he had left out where his people could see it, and said his Gold mine was doing very well. His subjects trusted the king and this worked great, but he still didn’t have gold to pay the next king that stopped bye. The king had his Navy drive around the world on tour and drop bombs on people. They looked very impressive. The good King Washington had promised his people many things to stay in power. He took in $3,000 a month in taxes but was spending more than that each month. The king kept this a secret and pretended to have gold in his bank. When his old friend the King with the shoes came by again, this Eastern king agreed to accept payment for the shoes in the new paper money. This made things much easier on King Washington. Everyone the World over trusted the good king Washington and most people were now his office workers, and his New Navy looked really nice. Good King Washington printed paper money and sent it all over the world and the world shipped him anything he wanted. The Eastern Kings now had huge stacks of his paper money and each time a ship would come by they would come ashore and make a deposit in the Kings bank. Not in gold but in his new paper money. The good king always bought more stuff than he sold to the Eastern Kings and the Kings kept depositing money in his bank. All of these deposits the king had to pay interest on. The good king pretended that when an Eastern King made a deposit that it made up for his over spending at home, so he just used the money they deposited. This of course is simply not true. The Kings “overspending” was done with all new printed money. So were his overseas spending sprees for junk for his wife, and also the money he spent for his Navy. The good King Washington ran the most successful counterfeiting ring in history. In the year 1971 the king had to admit to everyone that he was out of gold and now for fifty years his money has gone down in value each year. This is called Inflation of the Currency or printing money.
Each year now since, King Washington prints more money to make up for the dollars loss in value. Each time someone deposits money in his bank the king must pay them interest on their money. The many evil kings of the world supported him, because they had so much of his phony money on deposit that they could now lose everything. The slaves in these other kingdoms could not afford to buy anything because being slaves they were not paid. King Washington kept hiring the people on his Island that the slave camps put out of business, and his Navy looked very good. He was very proud. Now almost everybody on his Island worked for him doing or producing nothing of real value. He even paid his pretty wife $350,000 a year to be a public relations officer at his college. Then he told his bank to loan money to his family and friends, even if they could not pay it back and ordered his people to shut down all of the coal mines, the oil wells and the smoke stacks. He then wrote checks to all the drunks and bums to keep them happy. He, the wise king, now believed that the earth would soon come to an end because his people in America had life too good and that this had to change. The King said that his people in America made too much smoke cooking out in the back yard and breathed too much of the world’s air. They should become slaves, like everybody else in the world, to make things fair. They should all get by on less food and not drive big, fancy cars. Yes, King Washington was crazy even certifiably insane, but nobody would dare say anything about this crazy new religion of his because he had a rare skin condition that darkened his complexion so much that everyone felt sorry for him. No one would admit that he was a stupid babbling fool who followed a false religion. Soon the King Washington turned against God, the Holy Bible and God’s chosen people. He passed laws that men could marry men, that killing babies was now legal and that only his thugs could carry guns, that not liking him was a hate crime, that all cars had to be very small and electric and gasoline prices had to be very high. He wanted to punish his people and make them change their ways because they were just too rich and had lives to good and would not let dark people like him win on TV game shows. His people were and had been blessed by God, but the king got rid of God in his schools and on his money. The king told his America that they were not a Christian country and then double crossed Israel. He would not even talk to their prime minister when he came to visit. It didn’t take long before his kingdom was forgotten his people were all dead and his Island was filled by desert sand.”
“Tell us who King Washington is in real life Cornelius, we love stories,” said both Kishia’s in duet high pitched voices.
“That’s enough of my story for now,” I said, as I mixed up some flavoring in my strong French roast coffee, before continuing again.
“Free trade with honest money between free men is God’s way. Printing counterfeit money and slavery is the way of man. The Holy Bible calls it “cutting the coin.” Who could have guessed? God knew what he was talking about? So did some idiot named Thomas Jefferson but Osoma was smarter and knew better than God.
The Holy Bible was right all along! Who knew? Many honest kings have been tempted to “cut the coin” before in history and many have. The truth is a small amount of money printing might even be good for a kingdom as mild inflation is less destructive to wealth creation than deflation. But a tyrant (like a drunk) can not stop. A drunk can function for a while and not stumble. A little bit of red wine is even good for you the Bible says. Yes God is a loving and forgiving God but in the end God will not be mocked.
America gave up all pretence to honest money in 1971 (just a few short years ago). America has also turned against God during this time. The US Government has grown drunk on power ever since. Why say no to anything or anybody? We have a money
printing machine. The price of over spending and printing money is always paid for by the loss of currency value or inflation. This cost is paid by all the Kings citizens and everyone else holding bank note dollars, not by adding up all the deposits to the bank and calling it our national debt. This is a made up story and it is simply not true. Truly the private owners of the Federal Reserve Bank owe interest payments on deposits made to their bank, not the Kings treasury. We gave them the privilege, right, and power to print a bank note which is used as our national currency. That does not mean we pay the interest on any deposit made. All deficit spending is printed money. It does not matter if we write Treasury bill or Federal Reserve note, or greenback on the top of it. With our 100% fiat money no bank reserve is used. A reserve of what? Cash (ha-ha).Please let me be plain! When someone makes a deposit in the Federal Reserve Bank by purchasing what we falsely label a Treasury bill this does not mean that the bank is owed money by the taxpayers. This is a shell game just like the Democrats and the Republicans. One half the Republicans are fake and really siding with the Progressives and Socialist. Our Federal Reserve fronts itself as a true national bank, and then prints money and wants to charge citizens interest on it while the ink is still wet. This system is due for an overhaul. How did this come about? Out of necessity!
