Can We Put Our Faith in Financial Markets?

Are the markets a mechanism 
to steal our souls as well
as our money?

















by Henry Makow Ph.D.


When you see just how crazy financial markets are, you will not want to have your savings invested there.

Wednesday, a report was released indicating that US crude oil inventories rose by 1.3 million barrels from the previous week.

However, this was much less than the increase of 10.9 million barrels the prior week.

It brings the total to 483.7 million barrels, the highest level in 80 years.

Now, you'd think this news would make the price of oil go down. Instead, it shot up by 5.3% to $56, a four-month high.

The rationale was that the inventory growth was "lower than expected." Clearly traders will move the markets up or down and seize upon any excuse to justify it.

As a result of Wednesday's move, the Canadian dollar popped 1.5%. The Canadian dollar trades according to the price of oil, as if the whole country was nothing more than an oilfield. Every Canadian stock also listed in the US was down 1.5%.

Airline stocks also were also under pressure. They trade inversely to the price of oil. Although airlines are enjoying record profits because fuel costs are half of last year, their stocks go down whenever oil shows a pulse. Does that make any sense? 

Another example: For years, the price of gold moved higher to $1800 an ounce because "the Fed was printing money like no tomorrow." 

Then about two years ago, the price started a fade to about $1200 today. Did the Fed stop printing money? No, it printed more than ever. It stopped reporting the money supply. The "debt" rose to $18 trillion. In other words, gold went down for the same reason it went up. 

Clearly the markets are irrational if not rigged. Take the ridiculously high P/E's many companies command. Stocks go up in a day more than the company earns in a year. Why do "investors" pay $82 to own shares in Facebook, a company that earns $2 a year? Netflix which is expected to make $5 a share next year jumped $55 yesterday to $533. Clearly their real product is their shares.

SATANIC POSSESSION

Almost half of all Americans have money in the market. For the last five years, the Fed has flooded the market with liquidity ("Quantitative Easing") and kept interest rates low. As a result, stock markets are at an all-time high. This buys an awful lot of complicity and complacency, while the government pursues unpopular foreign and domestic policies, like wars, NSA surveillance, false flag terror drills, and the homosexual agenda.
 

Clearly, the financial markets are a big part of our satanic possession, more important than porn. I have defined satanic possession as seeking happiness from outside ourselves. Millions seek happiness by turning a quick profit. The stock market is a vast ponzi scheme where everyone buys something with the intent of unloading it at a higher price. Millions of people who speculate on a daily basis have forfeited their souls and become "beggars." 

This is how I see "sin" and "the Fall of Man:" identifying with mind (greedy thoughts) instead of soul. The Illuminati programed our minds. God programed our soul.

As I've said, society is being inducted into a satanic cult based on the Jewish Cabala. The rap against Jews has always been they do not create anything but rather trade.

I know many highly productive hardworking Jews who aren't traders. Nevertheless, the point is academic because we're all becoming Jews. We all pursue happiness outside our soul, usually in terms of sex and money.
For our own salvation, and for society, we must shift the center of our being from the mind to the spirit.

First Comment by Thomas Beecham-

Americans are obsessed about market price levels, house prices, etc. It is a religion as the fear of price levels and "collapse" has replaced fear of God. My girlfriend talks about her "Zillow" house price estimate as if it were gospel and worries if the price falls by $5,000. I tell her to just pay down her mortgage as fast as she can. After all, her mortgagee owns the house, and Fairfax County, VA ultimately owns it via its taxation power.

The markets are rigged as the powerful hand of liquidity directs where the funds will go. I submit that however, there will be no collapse until global war - one in which the US will be taken out. That comes several years from now. China and Russia are not ready yet.

I recall all those calls for collapse a couple years back. All those trend forecasters and "insiders" were proclaiming that 2011, 2012, 2013, etc was the year. They were all wrong. It amazes me that people look to CIA "insiders" and "whistelblowers" as well as "elite" contacts to reveal secret stuff.

The globalists have a firm control of the markets. All we need to hear for the markets to collapse is for the Fed Chairperson to come out and say that the US can no longer fund its deficit, and the markets will plunge overnight. But this won't happen - for now.

As for where to place funds,

-Put some in rental real estate that provide ample cash flow to weather any storm. I remember all the talk of not being able to take title on houses, because of all the repackaging of mortgage loans. I think that those stories were disinfo originating from US Government servers. They were designed to keep people from scooping up amazing deals. I fell for it for a couple years.

-Physical gold (no silver). I took off my hedge as trendless markets can be costly.

-I do not own stocks long term. Why buy stocks of companies I do not know about, when I can put money into my own business? I manage residential properties - my own as well as for others. The stodgy rental market is truly a growth business. The globalists have opened up the borders here in the US and that continues to add fuel to the rental markets here. These new residents will never be able to own houses. Owning a house is expensive and a downpayment and monthly mortgage are only part of the equation. Most of these immigrants buy with an FHA loan and never put money back into the house. It ends up in foreclosure - where I buy it and rent back to the people who were foreclosed

It's a predatory market - one that is truly satanic, but the participants freely get involved. Jesus said that we all partook in it. He was right. We are all in debt. We back government debt - on all levels. We transact in debt-backed currencies, we borrow to buy, which supports government programs that allow people to buy houses with no money down. We all participate - with no exceptions.





Scruples - the game of moral dillemas

The markets are a joke for sure, but lets not forget the negative influence of High frequency trading. Algorithms endlessly skimming the markets for miniscule profits, millions of shares at a time. It started as humans day trading in the 90's, but has morphed into a machine only hedge fund nightmare. The stocks were originally meant to mirror the innovation, hard work, and good management of a company; this helped people decide what company they wanted to own part of, and grow their assets. Now its just a trip to vegas(binary options?), and we all know how those end 99% of the time. The quick buck mindset, combined with a quarterly profit management style is not working. Combine that, with banks, and endless cash provided to them by the government to write naked shorts on the metals markets, and you have no where to run.

Government destruction of initiative will finish us off soon enough. When that happens, you better have something other people will want, because money will offer no privacy and no value except that approved by its makers.

Yes, the markets are rigged. I was a day-trader before it had a name back when I thought the illusions were real. I got out in the October, 1987 collapse without suffering any losses and never returned because I found out what the game really was. In simple terms, if you are not the biggest fish in the pond, you are fish food.

All markets exist as a means of control. That is why the markets make moves that defy common sense. Manipulation is the control. Manipulation is accomplished with money. As long as there are usury banks that create as much money as they want, there can be no “free market.” There has not been a “free market” in the USA since 1792.

Financial markets are the ultimate mammon and the ultimate illusion. Financial markets produce nothing tangible even if finance is based on something tangible. When finances are based on debt like all western societies today, no matter what anyone does with negative numbers and zero, there is never a positive. Illusion and deception are the tools of evil, not God. Putting faith in illusion and deception is putting faith in evil.


David said (April 17, 2015):

Your article is spot on about the stock market. It is natural for us to want to have a successful and abundant life. It is always good to have money. More money will not make us happy. It will only create more problems. Even though at this time I am on the bottom of the financial totem pole, I consider myself to be a happy person. For me, money is not the most important thing in my life. Money is just one aspect of success. Those who have built relationships with friends are just as happy with those who have money. Serving God comes first in my life. In the New Testament, Jesus talks to us about serving only one master. If we focus on money then it will become our God and consume us. If we focus on God then we not be consumed by money. In fact we will still have our souls and dignity. When we turn away from God we lose our souls. Remember that God is Love.


Mark said (April 16, 2015):

This particular article strongly resonated with me because your reasoning behind your distrust in the financial markets matched many of the same reasons I divested myself from the market years ago. My former position at a financial firm in the 90’s allowed me to see the financial industry from the inside during a boom market, and all it did was make me aware of the complete lack of morals, honesty and trustworthiness of the people and the culture perpetuated within these companies.

Case in point – the tech bubble that burst in the early 2000’s. I had personally witnessed and listened to conversations between traders and the “movers and shakers” of my former company where they laughed themselves silly about the gullibility of the people who were investing in certain tech markets...the same markets that the traders were pushing and recommending while acknowledging with one another how much junk was being traded.

In short, I didn’t see any of it as mere greed – I saw it as evil, and the way it perpetuated itself throughout the company was like a sickness. To this day, I still think of it as a “sick organization”, even though it is now a shadow of its former self.

When push came to shove and I left the company out of sheer loathing, I bit the bullet and divested all of my company holdings, tax penalties included. I also changed my entire portfolio at my new position so that as much of the retirement funds I had carried over were as far removed from the market as possible, at least with regards to stocks. By the time the losses of the tech market were calculated, my brother (who is a financial adviser for an investment firm) calculated from my portfolio that the actions I took ultimately saved myself from over $70,000 in losses.

Your analysis is key because it shows how the moral breakdown of society – perpetuated by secular and occult attitudes taking over – is turning people who personally invested out of a sense of promoting self-sufficiency into people that are becoming more dependent on a system that means to control them. It’s insidious - and all too real to ignore.
