SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Liberty Memorial Mall in Kansas City

Video clip from THE DAY AFTER Kansas City, of all the major US Cities, was incinerated in a Nuclear Holocaust. The video appeared 7 years to the month after The Kansas City Times published the record below on ALL SOULS DAY, November 2, 1976

Screen shot from THE DAY AFTER movie clip showing the base of The Liberty Memorial Mall pictured above:

In the Spirit of ’76, as a Canadian, I was highly visible at The Liberty Memorial Mall in Penn Valley Park and The Crown Center Hotel in Kansas City the whole time of the Republican National Convention. President Ford, Vice-President Rockefeller, their organizers and partisans were staying there.

Arriving in Kansas City after hitch hiking through some 45 States, the 1st place I went to was the Roman Catholic Archdiocese Office of the Archbishop. I was received by his Secretary, a very pleasant priest, and we talked for a long time in his office. Getting to the purpose of my visit, I asked him if there was any bed available in the entire Catholic Diocese where I could rest my head for the duration? I was surprised when he told me all the beds were taken. “People from the Vatican are here for the Convention” he said. I had to wonder what Business the Vatican had, and who were they meeting away from the Public eye, at this American Republican Convention?

Having shoulder length hair and beard, he said, “I know where you belong” and he drove me to the Liberty Memorial Mall where all the action was. “You’re right” I said as I got out of his car.

The opening night of the Convention, the Youth International Party (Yippies) had set up a microphone on top of a school bus on the grass of Penn Valley Park with speakers that reverberated against the Crown Centre Hotel across the street.

It was wonderful to see hundreds, thousands of young people from all over America come to exercise their democratic rights. The only bigger crowd I was part of was at Rock concerts, never for any political demonstration. When I saw the yellow school bus and the huge crowd on the slope of Penn Valley Park, I climbed on top of the bus to stand in line with the others who wanted to say something over the incredibly powerful sound system reverberating against the windows of the Crown Centre Hotel.

Getting hold of the microphone, the words poured out in an extemporaneous expression of the ills and hopes of the world for an hour or longer. After a long time I became aware most of the other people on the roof of the bus were massaging my neck, shoulders or just rubbing my back. A one and only time in my life experience.

I happened to be speaking when Vice President Rockefeller and a retinue came out on a balcony of the hotel at eye level with me, and I addressed my words to him. He was not pleased as evidenced by his reaction to my words you see in the picture below.

Greeting him, I reminded him of a time earlier in his career I read about in newspapers, when he was in the blessed position to able give a friend a gift of $50,000 here, and another friend $100,000 there, and other friends even more as gifts. I reminded him the newspapers reported all his friends had powerful positions in regulatory agencies of government.

I explained there were hundreds of people on this side who had hitch hiked here from all over America, and many without cash, to show the American Spirit of Democratic Freedom and Peaceful Protest, and that we cared for America and its future. I then reminded him how wonderful it must be to be in a position to be so generous to friends. I said these words, “Mr. Vice-President, would you be kind enough to donate a few hundred dollar’s worth of groceries to feed the poor among us while we are here?” That’s when he gave me the finger.

I’ve often wondered what Bob Dole and his friends are laughing at, hearing the same words that got the Vice-President so pissed off? I wrote him and sent a Tweet with the picture below to remind him and asking the question, but got no reply.

US Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller giving me The Finger in 1976

When I got off the bus and started walking through the large crowd I looked down on the grass and there was a $20 dollar bill. O Lucky Day! Thank you, Jesus! I decided to spend it having dinner in a Hotel Restaurant, but as soon as I entered the Lobby because of my visibility among the protesters, I was surrounded by Republican Party Security who physically lifted me up and threw me out.

The next Day the protest was moved from the Penn Valley Park to Washington Square facing the entrance to the Hotel. Police barricades were everywhere. Continuing the speech, I was so disappointed to see the Police stop and move the News Media away from filming.

Fortunately afterward, I met the Hotel Manager on the other side of the barricade, and he invited me into the Hotel and bought me breakfast. After an hour of conversation he said to me, “This is my Hotel, and I give you permission to go anywhere you want. If anyone causes you any problems, you just call me.” O Joy!

Walking softly and carrying my big stick, identifying them by name tag, I approached every Senator, Congressman, and Delegate talking in small groups within the thousands socializing in the Lobby of The Crown Centre Hotel.

My greeting was always the same, ¨Good Day! My name is Ray and I would like to talk to you about some issues.¨ To my disappointment, walking through the constant crowds doing this for four days, not one Senator, Congressman or Delegate would talk with me as they dissolved and disappeared into the larger crowd. The event of this report happened the night of the fourth Day of that convention of silence.

In the afternoon, before Ford won the nomination over Reagan, since no Republican on the floor would talk with me up to that point, I changed tactics. A woman in California gave me a booklet having white stars in a blue background on the cover. In the Oval red center part of the cover, in old script, it read Constitution of The United States of America. I walked into the Lobby with the booklet covering my heart and the 3 of the #13 jersey. Anyone coming toward me would only see 1 Constitution of The United States of America.

For the 1st Time, what Convention planners call a spontaneous demonstration happened. A crowd of Republicans gathered around me and different people asking at the same time, “Who are you” What are you doing? What is the significance of your actions?”

As I began to answer, Republican Party Security descended on the scene, telling me I had to leave the Hotel.

Asking why? I was told I couldn’t walk around carrying a club. In my mind, it was always a stick, but it gave new significance to the old saying, “walk softly and carry a big stick.” I thought, ‘My God, they have the power in this world, and they are so paranoid in their perceptions in guarding the power?’

I told the Republicans they had no power or authority to expel me from the Hotel. I have a Laissez-passer from the Hotel Manager. This was the first time since meeting 4 days earlier I had to call on him.

Arriving on the scene, the Hotel Manager told the Republican Whips I was allowed to stay. The Whips did their job though, and the growing crowd disappeared within the larger crowd in the Lobby. I continued walking softly, carrying my big stick with the star studded pamphlet covering my heart.

To my great surprise, on the restricted Mezzaine, stood President Ford himself, surrounded by a retinue of about 25 people. He was no more than about 15 feet above my head and I addressed him saying, “Good Day, Mr. Ford. How are you Today, Sir!

He acknowledge me with my shoulder length hair, beard, #13 jersey and stick saying,” I’m fine, thank you. How are you?”

Lifting up the pamphlet toward him, I said, “I’m doing great, but I’d love to talk to you about the Constitution of these Un-United States” On those words, within a nanosecond, The President and his large retinue moved on in unison, almost like a single organism Amoeba.

That night, President Ford won the nomination over Ronald Reagan. My image, with shoulder length hair, beard and wearing my Trademark #13 jersey, standing at the podium of The President of The United States on a Secret Service restricted balcony in the Crown Centre Hotel, must have appeared Revolutionary in that 1976 Revolutionary year as thousands of witnesses in person, ABC, CBS, & NBC broadcasting live, were looking up to that spot expecting The President of The United States to be standing there.

This is how it all unexpectedly happened to me.

As a Canadian I was caught up in the Republican’s enthusiasm and excitement. I was looking forward to seeing a President give a speech in person for the 1st TIME. I had only seen that on TV.

A band was playing Paul McCartney & Wings ‘Let ‘Em In’ and I was having a grand happy and excited TIME, content being one in the crowd. At one point, a live TV camera with the red light on top signalling a live broadcast was about 15 feet behind me. I took off my #13 jersey and for an instant, to all the viewers of that TV network, all they saw was my #13 jersey filling their screens.

I don’t know what others were thinking listening to the Band, but I was thinking of the following verses;

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To HIM THAT OVERCOMES will I grant to SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE, even as I ALSO OVERCAME, and AM set down with my Father in his throne.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Revelation 3

Spotting me in the compressed crowd below the restricted balcony, the Hotel Manager called out to me to come up out of all those Republicans! Since everybody was pressed against everybody, that was no quick or easy feat.

Going up the stairs, he told me the Secret Service wanted to question me, escorting me past all the SS Security checkpoints. As a Canadian, to my great wonder and surprise, instead of questioning me in some anteroom, they led me to the Podium of The President of the United States with the Seal in view of the Republicans in the Lobby below and the TV Networks pre-cable, broadcasting live.

With my shoulder length hair, beard, wearing my trademark #13 jersey, waving to the thousands of Republicans in person below, the image is such a revolutionary contrast in The Spirit of ’76, to the establishment, and standing at that symbol of the Power and Authority, nothing like it has been seen before or since. And I didn’t plan it! It happened to me.

The Best Part is, the Secret Service have a record of that Time long buried in their Archives.

Standing eye to eye with the SS Agent for some time at the Podium of The President answering his questions, he eventually asked to my astonishment, ¨Are you Jesus Christ?¨ Having no illusions about that then or now, in a nanosecond answered “No.”

The Agent then asked, ¨Who are you then? A Prophet?¨ Not having entertained the thought before these exceptional circumstances I unexpectedly found myself in, and being temporarily dumbfounded, I was not as immediate and able to answer that question as definitively as the one before.

The Secret Service wanted to hold my stick for ¨security reasons” as the President was expected to be there momentarily. The ABC, CBS & NBC archive video of that live broadcast is out there somewhere. Being precable, there was nothing else to see on TV, and the Secret Service have records of the scene.

I had an exceptional American experience in a Mountain in Montana before the Convention on the 4th of July. At a gathering of The Rainbow Family I overheard others speculating my stick was the stick Judah and Joseph

At the time I could not understand why the SS didn’t question me in some anteroom, instead of leading me to the podium of the President of The United States, in full view of all the people and the TV Networks broadcasting live. I can only speculate and wonder if God arranged that as a sign or symbol of authority, since there is such a great cloud of witnesses, Jews, Christians and Muslims, all claiming to speak for Almighty God, Creator of Heaven and Earth and all that is in it.

Even after all these years I have no doubt if senior Republican Party leaders and younger Republicans who attended that Convention saw the picture today, they would have to admit after thinking on it, “Yes, I remember that guy.”

On September 13, 1976 The Kansas City Times recorded and reported my visit to the City and the Republican National Convention.

For those who took the Time to actually read the Historical Record, there is a controversial line that needs clarification. The article quotes me saying Jimmy Carter “is a liar, deceiver and false prophet.”

I did say that in the narrow context of his 1976 Election Campaign. I certainly don’t think that these days. I wrote to him 3 Times to explain the context but got no reply. Besides, Politicians will be loath to acknowledge all The Kansas City Times published September 13, 1976.

As a Canadian, I have been watching US Politics since Eisenhower, and Carter was the 1st Presidential Candidate I saw wearing his Christian Credentials on his sleeve politically. At the same Time, he was promising to increase the US Military Budget.

I saw a fundamental conflict of interest in that situation re Almighty God, The Christ and the Bible.

It’s only 1 line, but it’s one of the most important lines in the Bible to consider in the Light of the Fact, the Most Christian America is the BIGGEST ARMS MERCHANT of any Nation to appear out of the History of This Earth.

‘Not by military force and not by physical strength, but by My spirit,’ says the Lord of Hosts. Zechariah 4

It seems fundamental to me, the True Believers of the Christian Faith should be at the forefront having a unified Voice, preparing the Way for The Christ in them, to fulfill the Biblical Prophecy at this particular crossroad in Time,

‘he shall judge between the nations and reprove many peoples, and they shall beat their swords into plow shares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift the sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.’ Isaiah 2

‘And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See you do it not: I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:10

The Kansas City Times record above has an exact Future Time Line Time made True, concerned Israel’s relations with the external Arab Nations starting with Egypt, as detailed below. Democratic Israel developed close relationships with all the Dictatorial Arab regimes in the Middle East since then, from Egypt to Saudi Arabia, except for Iran.

Iran has more Jews free to practice their Religion than any other Nation in the Middle East outside of Israel.

As if to underscore the September 13, 1976 Kansas City Times article above with the picture of my trademark #13 jersey, The Oslo Accord was signed between Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Leader Yasser Arafat on September 13, 1993. This was supposed to remove the last remaining roadblocks to Peace between Jews and Palestinians within the Occupied Territories.

Below is Israel’s Netanyahu boasting how he derailed the Oslo process, not the Palestinians. He was candid, not knowing he was being filmed.

“He came to town for the Republican National Convention and will stay until the election in November TO DO GOD’S BIDDING: To tell the world, from Kansas City, this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered […] He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. “The gold dome is the symbol of Babylon,” he said.” […] He wanted to bring to the Public’s attention an “idea being put out subtly and deceptively” by the government that we have to get prepared for a war with Russia”

That 1976 FUTURE is NOW with the Revelation of the details GENERALLY unfolding in the spirit of the letter.

The World is waking up to see Americans just may hasten “its days are numbered” part of the 1976 Public record and waits with bated breath. The Trump action of withdrawing from the Iran Nuclear Deal, and Waging an Economic War against the 83 MILLION People of Iran to destroy their Economy will speed that up. Trump upped the ante to Military Hostility when he murdered such a High Official of the Iranian government in the person of General Soleimani on January 3, 2020, setting the Tone and Tenor of all that came after in 2020.

This is in addition of Trump and the Republican Congress rescinding the few Regulations Obama put in place to prevent another Global Financial Collapse as happened in 2008. It’s not a question of IF but WHEN?

“And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

This is the interpretation of the thing:

MENE; God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it.

TEKEL; You are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.

PERES; Your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”

– Daniel 5

As you can see, “this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered” are the 1st two parts of the 3 part writing on the wall above.

The whole world saw The Writing on the Wall for the 1st TIME at the same TIME with the Global Financial Meltdown-Economic Pearl Harbour in September of 2008, even if the world has not recognized it as such. It records the king of Babylon put on a feast for 1000 of the ELITE of the kingdom,

“They drank wine and praised gods of gold, silver, copper, iron, wood, and stone.”
In other words, from THEN to NOW, ‘It’s the Economy, Stupid!’

The whole World saw The Writing on the Wall for the 1st Time at the same Time after 8 years of Tax Breaks for the rich while fighting 2 Foreign Wars on Borrowed money.

It wasn’t recognized as such, ignored, and the US and the World continued with it’s profligate ways without undertaking any meaningful reform. The rich at the top of our Pyramid System are getting richer, and the increasing numbers of poor at the bottom are getting poorer.

It can no longer be ignored with Covid-19, the last Domino not having fallen over yet!

The 3rd part of the Writing on the Wall tells of the decline of Ancient Babylon, the 1st Biblical model of the Nation that reached Imperial Military-Economic Superpower Status, and the rise of Persia.

Ancient Babylon is now Iraq, and ancient Persia is now Iran.

The US is the latest, greatest of all the Nations reaching Imperial Military-Economic Superpower Status in the 2600 year old Biblical Babylonian superstructure.

The TAIL struck the HEAD, invading Iraq in violation of International Law, causing the unravelling of the Earthly Babylonian superstructure/infrastructure, undermining the
Global Order as represented by the United Nations since WWII, and ushering in the Law of the Jungle to the Middle East and this World. It also paved the way for increased Iranian influence in their own region of this world where the US is the interloper.

The Iranian Revolution happened 29 months later in the 1976 KANSAS CITY TIMES Timeline.

All the chaos in the Middle East since then, including the carnage in Syria, is the consequence of the vain attempt to reverse that God ordained, repeat of History, as a SIGN of The TIMES for our Generations.

The article continues in quotation marks, ¨There are 30 months before the fate of the world will be sealed with EITHER Destruction OR the Universal Brotherhood of Man,¨ he said. ¨The 30 month figure concerned a Treaty between Israel and Egypt.¨

NOTE: This does not say Armageddon happens in 30 months from the article.

Not 29 or 31, but exactly 30 months later, in March 1979, history shows a Treaty between Israel and Egypt was signed. The Camp David Accord. History shows talks broke down on the 12th day and no Treaty was to be signed. Begin and Sadat were leaving. It was on the 13th Day, as in the date of the Article and the picture accompanying it, an unexpected window of opportunity appeared and opened the way for the Treaty to be signed.

This signified the Universal Brotherhood part of the quote.

Book review: ‘Thirteen Days in September,’ on Camp David accords, by Lawrence Wright

As to the destruction part of the statement? The Iranian Revolution happened a month before the signing of the Camp David Accord in 1979. With Trump murdering General Soleimani, the Senior Iranian government Official, it brings the Destruction in the 1976 Kansas City Times record much closer.

The TV Movie made in Kansas City, ‘The Day After’ it was destroyed in a Nuclear Holocaust appeared 7 years later. It could have been made in any other city.

I was probably the only human on earth, including THE KANSAS CITY TIMES reporters, to notice at the TIME of the appearance of the movie in November, 1983, it pauses at the exact same picture frame THE KANSAS CITY TIMES used in their November 2, follow up report 7 YEARS EARLIER.

TV screen shot at the End of movie ‘The Day After’ Kansas City was consumed in a Nuclear Holocaust

At the 9 second mark, the Movie below pauses at the exact same picture frame you see above from ALL SOULS DAY, November 2, 1976 record in The Kansas City Times 7 years earlier, except I had nothing to do with the Movie or the Date and picture The Kansas City Times chose to publish in the Spirit of ’76.

What are the odds?

With the growing anti-Russian/Putin hysteria taking hold of the Political-Military-Intelligence Community in the US and the West, this world may be at the precipice of it actually happening, either by design or accident. These historical records are clear WARNING SIGNS for our TIME in our Generations.

This Public record and Marker of Time from 1976, reporting specific Time related event for the Middle East, the Time Line of History confirmed the letter later. It also records, “and explained his own mission as “waging war against the beast” – the beast defined as government of man and tyrants.” The new Presidential limousine called “the beast” is an aptly named confirming Spiritual “symbol.”

It’s taken all these years, but the whole world and America can now see its days are numbered if radical reform is not started soon in the People.

Obviously, as regards the mission, I was not talking of my own personal action other than being a messenger in the right place at the right time, but since this report is from the Revolutionary Spirit of ’76, it is only now the Revolutionary Spirit of ’11 is beginning to overturn the tyrants and government of man in the Middle East. This we can see. It will soon spread worldwide.

It would be tragic if the “little people” in America, compared to the Biblical term ‘kings of the earth,’ couldn’t relate to the “little people” in Afghanistan/Pakistan and other poorer Nations. Logic and Reality would identify the ‘kings of the earth’ Today being the Billionaires, Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs and other IDOLS of the People.

The bottom line is that they are people like the “little people” all over this earth, no matter what country, colour, language or religion, and it is becoming perfectly clear all the “little people” everywhere are demanding “regime change.”

Most Christian America is the most apostate of them all as to understanding and practising the reason Christ died for all humanity, so humanity would be lifted up from its current downward spiral, rushing headlong on the Road to Destruction.

The Bible says both good and evil would grow side by side until the time of the harvest. It’s time, and many more good people are needed to work in the vineyard to bring in a good harvest.

The Writing’s on the Wall for the Babylonian Economy

Posted on October 1, 2026October 2, 2026 by Ray Joseph Cormier

The writing on the wall can increasingly be seen in the World. Everyone knows what’s implied saying it, but most People don’t know the details of that Bible history from 2564 years ago?

Ancient Babylon in Bible Middle East history, was the material World’s 1st Military-Economic Superpower. Babylon set the rules the weaker, poorer kingdoms who had to obey or face the consequences. All the Empires in history behaved the same way. The US is the latest, greatest of them all, now in decline like all Imperial Powers before WWII. The US inherited the Imperial mantle from the British Empire, WWI & WWII bankrupting them.

Modern secular cultural critics independently track the culmination of this multi-generational trap, identifying it as a systemic, multi-trillion-dollar empire psychosis designed to keep the public locked in a permanent state of distraction and escapism while the underlying structures rot.

The Biblical Writing on the Wall record in Daniel 5 has more parallels with Trump’s US and the World. The king of Babylon, now called Iraq, put on a feast for 1000 of the elites in the kingdom. Trump wants a majestic Ballroom to hold 1000 of US elites.

They drank wine and praised the gods of gold, silver, brass, iron, wood & stone. That’s when the Writing on the Wall appeared. Superpower Imperial Power status was transferred to ancient Persia, now called Iran. Some parallel these 2564 years later.

From then to now, it’s still the Economy, Stupid! The Writing on the Wall is increasingly visible for Global Economies.

The Netanyahu-Trump WAR they started against Iran setting the Biblical Middle East on fire, violates the very same International Law Putin is demonized for violating. The US, CanaDa and NATO Europe BORROWS MONEY to continue the WAR with Russia. That is bound to make this complicated World even more complicated and more difficult to resolve, leading to WWIII in Europe.

Israel the #1 Theocracy in the Middle East wants to destroy Iran, the other Middle East Theocracy with US Christian Nationalism in the mix. This choice leads to Armageddon, the great Day of the battle of Almighty God. Israel, Iran and the US all believe God is on their side. What could go wrong?

The Appetizer: The September 28 False-Flag Window

Secular data-forecasting models are independently tracking the terminal timeline of the modern global system. In a flashing warning, analyst Martin Armstrong has isolated the weeks of September 28 and October 5 as a possible explosive geopolitical turning point. Out of absolute desperation, a massive false flag is being engineered to drag the West directly into World War III. While tech lords jockey to become the new “Merchants of Death” profiting from automated drone warfare, mainstream media scribes prepare to dip their pens in the blood of the victims.

As winter approaches, independent journalists document how the West remains completely trapped in NATO’s fever dream, driving a massive financial and physical breakdown. Military analysts at the Asia Times have mapped the material reality of this broad path of destruction, demonstrating how a conventional conflict systematically dismantles energy infrastructure and plunges entire hemispheres into unprecedented dystopian collapse. This is the literal face of the Biblical great tribulation in real material world terms—a system devoid of God’s Spirit, marching blindfolded down this definitive European road to ruin. The trap is set, and the timeline converges directly upon this hour.

Prologue: The Synchronized Trumpet of the Watchmen

The warning signs flashing across the globe are not isolated incidents. From different continents, independent watchmen on the watchtower are sounding the same trumpet with unified frequency.

Spiritual essayists published direct indictments proving that the modern corporate apparatus has resurrected the exact economic crimes that trigger absolute spiritual foreclosure:

This ancient economic rot was independently exposed on the same day that spiritual watchmen declared the words we need grow hard to hear—confirming the real-time arrival of a spiritual famine. Simultaneously, secular analyses exposed the material road to ruin facing the proxy state, front-line intelligence exposed the NATO war myth, and cultural observers declared the emperor has no clothes.

Prime Minister Carney has made it clear he is determined to borrow money Canadian Taxpayers will have to pay to prepare for WAR with Russia. At the same UN meeting Carney appeased Trump for starting the War with Iran, The President of Finland having a 700 mile border with Russia, broke ranks with the US, CanaDa and European NATO Countries declaring Finland Refutes ‘Russian Threat’ Myth as WAR Propaganda. It is the Europeans themselves, not the Russians, who are escalating the tensions.

I sent this X to President Stubb. Ray Joseph Cormier @RayJC_Com

@alexstubb Mr. President, I embedded your UN speech into my latest article. It seems to me, after making that most welcome speech, the next logical step would be for Finland to withdraw from NATO as an example to CanaDa and others. Russia no longer has The Warsaw Pact in opposition to NATO. As you point out, it’s 32 Nations against 1.

Blessed are the Peace Makers, not the War Makers, for they shall be called The Children of God.

Vladimir Putin, “Anyone who doesn’t regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart. Anyone who wants it restored has no brains.” New York Times 20 February 2000

The interesting fact is Prime Minister Carney follows President Stubb on X. Someone in the PMO will see that X.

When uncompromising truth is spoken, it maps identical fault lines. It stands as a direct spiritual indictment of a global empire that has been weighed in the balances, found wanting, and is now facing its final moral and mathematical foreclosure.

The Feast of the Blind Kings

King Belshazzar threw a grand feast for 1000 of the elites of the kingdom. Today, corporate central bankers and the political elite repeat the performance. They pop champagne to record stock highs, manage a permanent noise machine, and borrow trillions on the futures of the next generation to bankroll the Cross of Iron global war machine. They treat the flashing warning lights of unprecedented debt and structural exhaustion as a secular math problem—ignorant of their spiritual foreclosure.

While the ordinary passerby walks with their gaze locked on the digital opium of their phone screens, the plaster is cracking. The ruling elite gather on the party deck of their listing corporate monolith, clinking glasses, oblivious to the structural fractures splitting the concrete hull beneath their feet. They turn their backs to the blackening sky, ignoring the humble wooden lifeboat—the Universal Brotherhood—being lowered into the turbulent waves beside them, its lantern lit and its seeds ready for a new beginning.

The Gods of the Balance Sheet

The defining decree of modern global politics is reduced to a single, cynical mantra: It’s the economy, stupid! By tracking stock indexes while ignoring moral rot, leadership proves that “the economy” is their ultimate god.

Look at their bloated god of iron. The West borrows trillions to fund brinkmanship, yet its military machine is a pork-belly behemoth stuck in mid-century doctrine—lacking deployable hypersonic technology and failing to feed its own sailors.

Look at their god of brass—the domestic infrastructure. The corporate state prides itself on technological dominance, yet its home pavement is a fossil of crumbling freeways and multiplying homeless tent camps built beneath the shadow of multi-trillion-dollar banking towers. This is the Architecture of Indifference operating at scale—feasting at the high table while human dignity is cast onto the street.

Look at their god of gold—the three golden domes of Babylon: the US financial empire, the NATO military machine, and the Israeli-US-Iran theocratic war. All three are cracking under their own weight.

The Kansas City Times writing about me on September 13, 1976, “He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. “The gold dome is the symbol of Babylon,” he said.

This is the Babylonian Economy. Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is your judgment come.
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more:
The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. Revelation of Jesus Christ 18

The Sins of Historical Omission and the Imperial Trick

Western leadership operates with rigid blindness. They scream about “sovereignty” and a “rules-based order,” treating universal principles as empty moral ornaments while erasing their own history of imperial lawlessness.

Beginning with the US and England’s 1953 overthrow of democratically elected Mohammad Mossadegh via Operation Ajax to seize Iran’s oil, the West established a multi-generational pattern of interventions and economic piracy across the Middle East. Media narratives rebrand state-sponsored military actions as security while demonizing adversaries. Strikingly, deployed Western troops are now reported to be told that the ongoing Middle Eastern conflicts are intended to bring about the literal biblical End Times and Armageddon.

Ignoring historical warnings against nuclear brinkmanship, modern foreign policy continues its reckless path. Consider President Kennedy’s 1963 declaration:

“Above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy—or of a collective death-wish for the world.”

The mainstream media acts as a complicit fifth horseman of the apocalypse, fabricating narratives to sanitize aggression and enforce indifference. President Kennedy was killed just months later for expressing such common sense.

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN

As the ancient empire feasted, a hand wrote judgment on the wall:

From then to now, the defining decree remains It’s the economy, stupid! But the modern global economy faces its final mathematical foreclosure as the three golden domes of Babylon collapse under their own weight. Through the destructive brinkmanship of the illegal Netanyahu-Trump warfare, a multi-generational trap has been sprung. Just as imperial power transferred from Babylon to Persia in a single night, the modern geopolitical scales have tipped—leaving Persia (Iran) holding the balance of power in the Middle East today. While the danger of nuclear war constantly grows, Western financial hegemony splits toward alternative networks under its own weight.

The Intelligent Design: The Systems of Things

Humanity’s secular arrogance claims that through automated warfare, digital currency tracking, and corporate narrative control, the global machine can indefinitely overrule the natural order. This is a fatal delusion.

The Maker of the Cosmos arranged an order that moves from goodness to supreme grandness. These righteous systems are under divine control, completely out of reach of the corporate tech lords trying to force the world to watch the matrix burn.

Because modern leadership wilfully rejected and treated the warnings already spoken to them as expendable, the true real-world tribulation materializes as the exact spiritual famine the prophet decreed:

While the cultural matrix surrenders to the superficial “casinofication” of faith and the fraudulent Babylonian banking towers decay under the weight of their own debt, the natural laws devised by the Creator remain completely uncompromised. The ultimate foreclosure is an absolute mathematical certainty.

The Prime Minister talks of a “two-state solution” and a “lasting peace”—then demotes a Liberal MP for supporting a bill that would stop Canadian weapons from being used to kill Palestinians.

Sean Casey, MP for Charlottetown, voted his conscience on Bill C-233, the No More Loopholes Act. He was warned by the Liberal whip. He was removed from his position by the PM. The message is clear: dissent on Israel will not be tolerated. Plus you will lose high-paying jobs with perks the people you are supposed to serve never see. Fear of losing all that will keep people quiet and obedient.

Meanwhile, this same Prime Minister:
— At the UN called Trump’s genocidal language “the language of war,” appeasing Trump the Emperor, having no clothes.
— Switched to French so the English-speaking majority would not understand his own words coming out of his own mouth.
— Borrows billions to militarize the Canadian economy.
— Sends $25 billion in BORROWED MONEY to Zelensky to continue a NATO war against Russia that Finland—a front-line state—says is based on a myth.

He speaks of peace while funding war. He speaks of justice while silencing those who seek it. He speaks of international law while applying it “with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.”

Power corrupts, and it blinded this Prime Minister so he doesn’t even have the Moral or Political courage to acknowledge the illegal Israeli-US WAR they brought to the Middle East violates the very same International Law Carney demonized Putin for violating.

Carney said on the threat to Jews in Belleville: “We stand against all forms of violence, all forms of hate.” He does not have the Spiritual, Moral or Political courage to call out Israel’s murderous, genocidal massacre of Palestinian women and children having no defence against Israel’s US and Canadian weapons as violence in its worst form.

You cannot serve God and Mammon. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Less than twenty-four hours after this public witness was dispatched, Trita Parsi independently exposed Carney’s UN capitulation on the global stage, confirming that the uncompromised truth is moving faster than these collapsing institutions can manage.

Vladimir Putin, “Anyone who doesn’t regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart. Anyone who wants it restored has no brains.” New York Times 20 February 2000

Carney dismisses that, planning to finance the War with Russia using borrowed money until Russia is defeated. WWIII will happen before that

The Moral Reckoning

@GGCanada @MarkJCarney @CanadianPM @PierrePoilievre @yfblanchet @avilewis @ElizabethMay @GregFergus The Prime Minister claims to stand against anti-Semitism. He claims to defend the Jewish people. He claims to support a “two-state solution.”

Peter Beinart is an Orthodox Jew. He is a scholar. He is a man of conscience. And he speaks of what it means to be Jewish after the destruction of Gaza—a reckoning the PMO refuses to undertake. This is what a righteous Jew looks like. This is what a righteous Gentile looks like—one who stands with the oppressed, not the oppressor. But here is the consequence the PM refuses to see: When the international community—including Canada—stays silent on Israel’s genocidal massacre of Palestinians having NO DEFENCE against Israel’s US weapons and Canadian munitions, that silence does not protect Jews. It endangers them. It fuels the conflation of Judaism with genocide. And it gives rise to vigilantes who attack Jews outside of Israeli for crimes they did not commit.

The PMO silenced Sean Casey for voting his conscience. The PM demoted him for trying to stop Canadian weapons from killing Palestinians. The PM speaks of peace while funding war. Watch this video then ask: which tradition does the PM and CanaDa serve—the one that demands a reckoning, or the one that silences it?

How Can America Break Free From Israel’s Endless War? How can the United States led International Community change its relationship with Israel and stop enabling policies that Peter Beinart argues have brought devastating consequences for Palestinians? Peter Beinart joins Wajahat Ali to discuss U.S. foreign policy, Israel, Gaza, Palestinian freedom and the future of the American-Israeli relationship.

THE ISRAELI GENOCIDE IN GAZA HAS DIMINISHED OUR COMMON HUMANITY

The Path Beyond the Plaster: The Final Receipt

Standard political reforms cannot save a system collapsing under its own weight. Rather than confronting the terminal machine or waiting for institutional rescue, individuals are called to build parallel lifeboats of mutual trust and self-reliance.

The ultimate confirmation that this system’s days are numbered is not found in abstract theories, but in the exact mathematical timeline of history unfolding before our eyes. When secular investigative journalists look out at today’s three-way theocratic convergence and independently use the phrase “the Sign of the Times,” the warning delivered fifty years ago during the 1976 Kansas City encounter is brought to immediate prominence. The reality of this warning was dispatched directly to the public square regarding the historical parallels of the 1976 Kansas City Times articles predicting a 30-month window tied to an Israel-Egypt treaty and subsequent regional shifts came to pass.

The secular world is just now discovering why Hamas’ October 7 operation was named “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood“—confirming that the battle for the Temple Mount has bypassed their material frameworks entirely.

Netanyahu & Trump and the International Community chose the path of destruction as The Kansas City Times published September 13, 1976, “There are 30 months before the fate of the world will be sealed with EITHER Destruction OR the Universal Brotherhood of Man,”¨” he said. ¨The 30 month figure concerned a Treaty between Israel and Egypt.” The Treaty was signed exactly 30 months later as the confirming Sign of the Times

NOTE: This does not say Armageddon happens in 30 months from the article. The day after will be too late.

I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

— Mahatma Gandhi

The Lifeboat Equation: Beyond Political Reform and the Architecture of Indifference

Posted on September 13, 2026September 18, 2026 by Ray Joseph Cormier

Introduction: The Threshold of Structural Exhaustion

On August 13, 2026, Hanging from a Cross of Iron: The Mathematical Failure of Human Violence was published. It established a hard historical and fiscal baseline. President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s April 16, 1953 warning—that a life of perpetual war preparation is “humanity hanging from a cross of iron“—has reached its logical, mathematical limit. Moving from a $50 billion defense allocation in 1961 to today’s multi-trillion-dollar global war machine is not a sign of national security; it is the balance sheet of systemic exhaustion.

In that famous address, General Eisenhower laid down five noble, idealistic principles meant to guide international relations:

No nation can achieve absolute security for itself alone.
Real progress requires an international community founded on mutual trust and rule of law.
Every nation has the inalienable right to form its own government and economic system.
Any nation’s attempt to dictate to others their form of government is indefensible.
A nation’s hope for lasting peace must rest upon a genuine commitment to international disarmament.

Yet, the tragic paradox of the visible king is that the ink on these noble words was barely dry before the machinery of empire violated them completely. Only four months later, in August 1953, Eisenhower blatantly betrayed his own Third and Fourth principles. He authorized the CIA to join forces with Britain’s MI6 to execute Operation Ajax—a lawless covert operation that violently overthrew Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, to reclaim corporate control over Iranian oil.

This flagrant act of imperial dictation and regime change is the genesis seed of today’s conflict with Iran. The multi-generational whirlwind we are reaping on today’s pavement—manifested in Scott Bessent’s brutal financial siegecraft and the threat of catastrophic kinetic fallout—is the direct mathematical reflux of that original 1953 lawlessness. We cannot repair a system through political reform when its modern foundations were built on an absolute, calculated betrayal of the rules it preaches to humanity.

Many Iranians Forced to Take Out Loans to Pay for Daily Essentials

That depression the US imposed on the ordinary Iranian People they claim to care for so much, by God’s Justice, will come home to the streets of the Un-United States with 1 big difference. The US has more guns than people when the Economic straitjacket tightens. Iranians and Canadians have rallied behind their governments to fight Trump’s Economic Warfare and wait patiently in suffering for resolution.

The immediate question posed is simple: “If the global system is mathematically bound to foreclose on itself, what does the ordinary citizen practically do about it?”

To answer this, we must look past traditional political theatre and examine the material realities of structural power.

The Institutional Structure is Profoundly Broken

In his captivating documentary Peace, War and 9/11, filmed just six months before his passing, eminent scholar and lifelong peace activist Graeme MacQueen shared his final analysis on 9/11, the 2001 anthrax attacks, and the imperative of abolishing war. As he documented, the military-industrial complex has expanded its reach far beyond weapons factories, deeply integrating its influence into Hollywood, sports leagues, university research programs, and Silicon Valley.

With over a thousand dedicated lobbyists in Washington—outnumbering members of Congress nearly two to one—the military-industrial apparatus behaves like an unchecked planned economy that systematically siphons off the nation’s collective wealth, scientific talent, and public resources. The interest on this compounding national debt now exceeds the budget of any single public agency, proving that the empire is actively foreclosing on its own future choices.

Bill Hartung, senior fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, warns that this escalating spending does not keep America safe, but actively endangers both the United States and the world. Joining WorldNow with Jim Falk, Hartung reveals how the American military-industrial complex operates across its key players—from top contractors and lobbyists to Hollywood and Silicon Valley—and how we must re-envision this trillion-dollar war machine if we are to secure true peace and prosperity.

Part I: The Political Paradox—Why Reform Hits a Wall

For decades, well-meaning citizens have attempted to fix the military-industrial apparatus through standard political channels—lobbying for campaign finance reform, attempting to “get money out of politics,” or voting for alternative representation. Systemic analysis reveals why this approach acts as an endless game of whack-a-mole:

The Water Principle of Capital: When a central legislative body controls the annual allocation of trillions of dollars in defence contracts and corporate bailouts, capital behaves like water. Suppressing public campaign contributions without altering the power to distribute these massive budgets simply forces capital into dark-money channels, revolving-door consulting positions, and shadow influence.

There is a profound, cosmic irony in how physical elements mirror this financial decay. In his official global prayer intention for September 2026, Pope Leo XIV explicitly laments humanity’s habit of turning water into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift and a right without borders.

The spiritual malady is identical to the financial one: the corporate state attempts to dam up, fence off, and monopolize the life-giving fluids of the Earth—whether capital or clean water—to feed a rapacious minority while the masses on the pavement suffer from artificial scarcity. We are called to be “pilgrims of the essential,” denouncing this institutional waste and pollution, because you cannot purify a river while the source upstream continues to pump toxic, commodified currency into the global veins.

Look at the unadulterated matrix of our choices: on one side stands true creation—abundant, localized, and sustained by natural law; on the other stands the centralized industrial fortress—synthetic, poisoned, and choking on its own toxic waste. This visual boundary captures the absolute core of the institutional deception. The corporate state does not merely seek to fence off clean water; it actively engineers a synthetic counterfeit for every life-support system on the planet, demanding that humanity abandon the self-reliant soil of the Creator to become captive consumers dependent on industrial manufacturing plants.

The Realpolitik Vacuum & The Logistics of Stranglehold: A unilateral, abrupt shutdown of centralized military infrastructure within a deeply financialized economy creates immediate credit freezes and domestic dislocation. In an international arena governed by competing global powers, simple institutional retreat without parallel local structures creates a power vacuum rather than peace.

This systemic vacuum is fuelled by an imperial apparatus that openly operates via economic piracy. On September 5, 2026, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent officially accelerated Operation Economic Outcast, a campaign designed to completely sever Iran’s economic lifelines by weaponizing secondary sanctions, targeting cryptocurrency, and threatening to seize oil assets stranded at sea. Bessent openly bragged on national networks about using a “machete, a boat paddle, and a rake” to bury geopolitical opponents, demonstrating that the establishment views global trade strictly through the raw power of the strongest.

This “tit-for-tat” retail diplomacy is an administrative siege calculated to induce catastrophic inflation and collapse banking systems, proving that the modern lawgivers are the ultimate lawbreakers. The mainstream media acts as a fifth horseman of the apocalypse, obscuring this evidence to preserve public indifference while the kings of the Earth actively gather the nations toward a terminal, multi-theater flashpoint.

The Regulatory Perimeter: When citizens attempt to step away from the centralized grid, legacy institutions routinely deploy regulatory friction—protecting the tax base and financial monopolies through tightening compliance on local agriculture, decentralized energy, and peer-to-peer trade.

This domestic friction is inextricably linked to imperial lawlessness abroad. As international law scholar L. Michael Hager exposes, the modern executive branch operates as an absolute lawbreaker under the pretense of national sovereignty. The administration has aggressively moved to dismantle global accountability by slapping punitive financial sanctions on the International Criminal Court’s presidency and senior lawyers to block arrest warrants for war crimes. Furthermore, by executing sweeping decrees to abruptly withdraw the United States from 31 U.N. bodies and 35 non-U.N. organizations, the empire is actively decimating the post-WWII international rule of law it helped create.

This is the modern manifestation of Samuel’s corrupt sons perverting justice.

You cannot break international law abroad through institutional destruction and expect domestic law to be revered on your own streets. As documented in Daniel Williams’ Asia Times investigative report, “The West Bank: the Middle East’s orphan war,” Western governments and the UN endlessly complain that aggressive land takeovers are illegal, yet no concrete actions ever follow their empty words. The European Commission actively rejects calls to cancel trade deals, and Washington refuses to back rhetoric with policy, proving that the modern “state of law” is a convenient fiction used by armed settler militias and state-backed vigilantes to enforce structural theft with absolute state compliance and budget cover. The system cannot be repaired from within its own legal and financial mechanisms because those mechanisms were explicitly built to sustain the rule of the strongest.

Part II: The Material Binary—Two Operating Systems

Humanity faces a strict, material choice between two opposing operational models. There is no middle ground left.

Feature	The Cross of Iron System	The Universal Brotherhood System
Core Engine	Compounding debt, fiat inflation, and resource strangulation	Steady-state equilibrium and Jubilee debt cancellation
Resource Focus	Strategic hoarding, corporate commodification, and warfare	Localized stewardship and shared abundance
Governance	Centralized tech-fortresses, narrative control, and surveillance	Decentralized networks and autonomous community
Human Value	Citizens treated as collateral, statistics, and consumers	Recognition of intrinsic, sovereign identity (I AM)
Final State	Structural foreclosure and systemic collapse	Collective survival and spiritual accountability

Part III: The Practical Toolkit of the “Everyman”

The solution is neither standard political activism nor a naive retreat from reality. The goal is to build a parallel lifeboat while the primary vessel founders under its own weight.

Starve the Financial Grid: Debt is the primary tether linking individual labor to centralized banking cartels. Minimizing consumer credit, moving assets into local community credit unions, and drastically reducing reliance on corporate supply chains starves the macro-engine of its continuous fuel.
Build Local Physical Infrastructure & Provide Proof of Concept: True autonomy requires basic security in foundational needs—food production, rainwater collection, basic mechanics, medical care, and micro-grid energy. A population capable of maintaining its own immediate life-support system cannot be easily coerced by centralized economic shocks.

This pragmatic focus directly channels the legacy of the early twentieth-century “Sewer Socialists” of Milwaukee, who routinely dismissed abstract slogans to focus ruthlessly on building working-class self-reliance from the ground up. The Sewer Socialists Were Pragmatic Class Warriors

While the modern executive branch and its cabinet of corporate billionaires obsessively demonize collective human organization to keep the public dependent on centralized monopolies, history proves that localized public power is what breaks the spell of systemic despair. As Victor Berger recognized, the chief opponent of progress is a manufactured loss of hope. By providing a physical “proof of concept”—showing that local, decentralized public networks could deliver clean water and life-saving utilities far better than predatory private capital—they built an organized base that withstood the corporate pressures of their era. The lifeboat is constructed not by waiting for institutional rescue from the top tier, but by demonstrating in real-time practice that parallel, human-centered infrastructure can sustain life right now on the pavement.

Eradicate Indifference & Reclaim Personal Authority: The global architecture of war relies entirely on the passivity of populations waiting for institutional rescue, completely hypnotized by the artificial noise of the public square. Reclaiming personal authority—the I AM consciousness—means taking direct responsibility for your immediate neighborhood, fostering mutual aid networks, and aggressively confronting weaponized media narratives designed to keep the public blind to systemic slaughter.

This public complacency is not a fresh symptom of the digital age; it is a multi-generational anesthesia. When the watchman stood on the Sparks Street Mall in July 1978 donning a WWI gas mask to protest systemic pollution, the establishment treated it as an isolated theatrical demonstration. Yet, exactly 13 years later to the numerical ledger, the 1991 Gulf War erupted, turning gas masks into the primary survival currency of a hot, resource-driven geopolitical conflict.

GAS MASKS AND THE 1st GULF WAR

For nearly half a century, the economic, military, political, and religious pollution has ground forward on the exact same tracks. Reclaiming personal authority means refusing to let the corporate state bury these historical continuums under a mountain of real-time media distractions.

This is an active duty on the pavement. When prominent public intellectuals use their platforms to obsessively cry over a single act of localized vandalism—such as the torching of an Israeli flag in the Montreal neighborhood of Hampstead—while remaining completely blind and oblivious to the murderous genocidal massacre of thousands of defenceless families trapped in tents across Gaza, they are performing the exact cognitive inversion of late-stage imperial decay. They embody the hyper-focused, selective lens of the corporate state media matrix: weeping over a piece of fabric while turning their physical backs to fields of catastrophic destruction executed by U.S.-supplied weaponry.

THE ISRAELI GENOCIDE IN GAZA HAS DIMINISHED OUR COMMON HUMANITY

Removing all blinders, this Material World is already on a dark path, driven by a hot shooting war between Theocratic Israel joined with U.S. Christian Nationalism vs. Theocratic Iran—where all parties dangerously believe God is on their side. This was laid bare on September 1, 2026, when national reports exposed Vice President JD Vance openly admitting to a Christian podcaster that if his work with Trump leads directly to the biblical End Times, it is “OK”!

This video on his Christian Faith is long, but Vice-President Vance says the above at the 01:02-14 point in it.

Ray Joseph Cormier @RayJC_Com Sep 2

@JDVance Has Power corrupted you so much you are blind to reality? This header of an article published Yesterday is troubling if you really believe that. JD Vance Says He’s Doing ‘God’s Work’ and ‘If That Leads to the End Times, Ok’ should worry every Peace loving Human.

What kind of Christian are you that you should be in the DARK, ignorant of this in the Revelation of Jesus Christ 16:14– For they are the spirits of DEVILS, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth like you, and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

This Material World is already on the Path to Armageddon, the great day of the Battle of Almighty God between Theocratic Israel vs Theocratic Iran and your US Christian Nationalism mixing things up.

It is not coincidence you expressed your religious outlook Yesterday as I published this on the same Day, These People Draw Close to Me with Their Mouth, and Honour Me with Their Lips; But Their Heart Is Far from Me

SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER

All the experts the MSM choose to promote on TV do not recognize the Iran WAR Netanyhu and Trump brought to the Middle East is the beginning of Armageddon, the battle of that great day of God Almighty between Theocratic Israel & Theocratic US Christian Nationalism vs Theocratic Iran, all 3 believing God is on their side. We can see it unfolding in our Time and our silence will bring this World past the point of stopping the unthinkable.

While the establishment warns of religious extremism abroad, its own leadership shrugs at nuclear brinkmanship under the banner of a secularized manifest destiny.

Reclaiming personal authority means breaking that hypnotic, apocalyptic spell. It means holding up an unyielding mirror to elite gatekeepers to show them that individual domestic vigilantism on our own local streets is the direct, mathematical reflux of the lawless, exported violence they comfortably choose to ignore. True, living faith demands that we stop acting as spectators to a rigged political theater and instead build decentralized, human-centered sanctuaries of mutual trust that refuse to honor the illusions of modern empire.

Conclusion: The Lifeboat Principle

The Cross of Iron is not collapsing because of external enemies; it is foreclosing on itself under the weight of its own financial and moral contradictions. As the corporate state media frantically panics over the looming disruptions of the coming decades, asking what happens if a major war arrives that the economy cannot afford, the watchman’s ledger answers with cold, material precision.

The United States operates as the biggest arms merchant in the history of nations, where more war simply equals more arms sales to enrich a predatory minority while the masses bankroll the destruction without question or objection. No weaponized variant of Christian Nationalism can co-opt the true Spirit of Christ to manufacture security in a world that loves and serves money and material objects over living truth. By funding this multi-trillion-dollar global war machine, humanity does not purchase safety; it actively hastens the ancient, unyielding warning of the prophet Isaiah:

THE DAY AFTER WILL BE TOO LATE!

Our task as everyday individuals is not to fight this terminal machine head-on, nor is it to wait for an institutional rescue from the very kings who profit from the chaos. The only pragmatic solution is to build a parallel lifeboat while the primary vessel founders under its own weight—ensuring that when its structural exhaustion reaches its final conclusion, a resilient, decentralized, and human-centered framework is already standing on the pavement to take its place.

Postscript: The Terminator’s Receipt—The Broken System Confirmed

The global architecture of indifference relies on public spectacles to distract the masses while the underlying infrastructure rots. Yet, when the uncompromised trumpet is sounded, even the high-tech managers of the empire are forced to acknowledge the structural foreclosure.

On November 25, 2008, during a massive fiscal crisis, the office of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger—the cinematic “Terminator” himself—dispatched this official response to the watchman’s desk. It stands as a permanent, historical receipt proving that the visible kings have long known their foundation was fractured:

From: governor@gov.ca.gov
To: ray032@*******
Sent: Tuesday, November 25th 2008, 14:56
Subject: Re:Governor
Thank you for taking the time to send me your kind words of support. Your encouragement gave me a big boost, and it reminds me that we are moving in the right direction.

I am working hard to improve California’s future and make progress in a difficult budget year. We’ve tackled politically risky things that no one wanted to touch in the past, and to me, that’s progress. We now have the potential to make a positive difference in the lives of future generations by confronting problems that have been put off for many years: building up our infrastructure, reforming health care and education, and finally fixing our broken budget system.

Again, thank you for your kind words of encouragement. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger

Eighteen years later, in September 2026, the “broken budget system” has metastasized into a multi-trillion-dollar global debt trap, and the infrastructure is under absolute exhaustion. The time for top-down political repair has expired. The Terminator cannot fix what the Cross of Iron has already foreclosed upon. The only path forward is the pavement.

These People Draw Close to Me with Their Mouth, and Honour Me with Their Lips; But Their Heart Is Far from Me

Posted on September 1, 2026September 2, 2026 by Ray Joseph Cormier

Structural Anatomy of the Image Visual Exegesis: The Split Matrix of Performative Piety This striking, two-tiered visual canvas acts as an uncompromised structural map of the institutional hypocrisy exposed throughout the title It functions not as a passive illustration, but as a devastating diagnostic of the massive chasm separating the “lips” of earthly power from the true, suffering “heart” of humanity.

The Upper Theatre (The House of Honor):
- The Performative Elite: A dense choir of institutional figures—clothed in ornate religious, judicial, and political vestments—line the marble terrace. They hold scrolls, raise hands in public adoration, and chant sacred phrases into the air.
- The Radiant Entrance: Behind them stands a grand archway labeled “THE HOUSE OF HONOR”, bathed in a blinding, golden light. It visualizes the public front: a grand facade of civilizational piety, institutional authority, and divine approval.
- The Ribbons of Lip-Service: Flowing from their open mouths are golden, scriptural ribbons bearing the exact phrases: “HONOURING ME WITH LIPS”, “DRAWING NEAR WITH THE MOUTH”, and “VAINLY THEY WORSHIP”. The words float upward as pure acoustic performance, detached from any grounding below. Matthew 15:7-9
The Lower Abyss (The Distant Heart):
- The Subterranean Fault Line: Directly beneath the polished marble terrace lies a dark, cracked subterranean cavern labelled “THE DISTANT HEART”.
- The Chained Organ: Suspended in the center of the abyss is a massive, biological human heart, bound tightly by thick iron chains and heavy cables that root directly into the bedrock.
- The Conduit Cables: Dark, mechanical-looking tendrils snake downward from the feet and robes of the figures above, connecting directly into the chained heart. This illustrates the precise structural diagnosis of the essay: while the lips above project light and righteousness, the true engine below remains cold, heavy, and locked in darkness.
The Solitary Witness on the Pavement:
- The Central Kneeling Figure: Positioned at the exact geometric center—on the raw stone threshold between the golden upper arch and the dark cavern below—is a single, humble figure.
- The Axis of Judgment: This solitary watchman sits directly above the bound heart and beneath the central light ray. It serves as the visual pivot of the entire piece, recording the exact spatial distance between the vocalized piety above and the hardened reality below.

Here is how the AI created image directly manifests “These People Draw Close to Me with Their Mouth, and Honour Me with Their Lips; But Their Heart Is Far from Me”

The Honouring Lips: The bronze-like leader shouts into microphones behind a golden podium under harsh theatrical lights. He represents the visible, worldly “kings” who capture public focus with loud, performative rhetoric.
The Distant Heart: His chest cavity is wide open, exposing a cold, hollow interior packed with hyper-militarized clockwork gears and weaponized machinery instead of a human heart. This represents a heart completely “far” from divine creation—consumed entirely by the engines of war and coercion.
The Refracted Truth: Above the stage, the radiant All-Seeing Eye sun casts down a vertical beam of pure creation. The light passes through a glass pyramid, fracturing into a rigid, stark checkered wall. This is the matrix of separation—the institutional cages designed to block humanity from universal brotherhood.
The Systemic Blindness: In the lower corner, media crews and a faceless crowd remain completely hypnotized by the artificial studio performance, turning their physical backs to a vast, smoking landscape of real-world destruction right beside them.

The verdict is in, and it is one of systemic, spiritual, and mathematical failure. For fifty years the witnesses have been lining up—from the pavement of Kansas City to the halls of Congress—and the charge is consistent: the empire has drawn close with its lips while its heart has become entirely consumed by the machinery of death. The corporate state wants us to believe our calendar is arbitrary—a series of random news cycles ticking away in endless noise. But history operates on a precise structural design.

On May Day a forensic audit of the global economy was published, only to recognize that May 2 marked exactly 415 years since the King James Version of the Bible was released in 1611—putting the unadulterated text into common hands to break systemic illusions.

It is no coincidence that this message goes live on September 1—a date stamped with immense historical gravity. In ancient biblical tradition, September 1 marks the civil New Year and the historic Day of Creation. It is the very day Christ stood in Nazareth, unrolled the prophetic scroll, and announced a public manifesto to break the cages of worldly debt and captive systems. Yet today the masses remain blind to this cosmic axis of truth. Like an intricate, fractured tapestry, the pure light of primordial creation is systematically intercepted by a geometric matrix of separation—the rigid, checkered wall of human-made boundaries and institutional cages designed to keep humanity small, fearful, and divided.

September 1 also carries a personal seal. On September 1, 1975 — exactly seven months after I was unexpectedly raised from the spiritually dead and touched by God within on February 1 — I entered the United States. I had sold all my possessions, grown shoulder-length hair and a beard, and carried only a backpack. I crossed the border to discover the Spirit of ’76. That journey began the day after I resigned my position as National Marketing Manager, Mining Division, at Dominion Engineering Works Ltd. in Montreal.

The Genesis Decree: The Convergence of Debt, Creation, and the 50-Year Foreclosure

This structural blindness did not begin with modern capital markets; its ancient blueprints were drafted in 1 Samuel 8. When the people witnessed institutional corruption and perverted justice, they panicked and demanded a visible king “like the nations.” It was far more than a political request; it was a profound spiritual abdication—trading the sovereignty of the Invisible God for a tangible, coercive system of human thrones.

That tragic pattern of demanding visible masters inevitably drives societies to structural rot, culminating precisely in Isaiah’s ancient diagnostic of a “sick” nation that is “utterly estranged”

Today this ancient estrangement has escalated into the ultimate blasphemy: the engineering of a synthetic “Holy War” in which both sides of a global proxy conflict weaponize the language of faith to justify the slaughter of the innocent.

As independent journalists expose, we are witnessing a grotesque theatre of competing relics. On one side, institutional church hierarchies elevate the bones of historic collaborators as “holy relics” to fuel hyper-nationalist fervour. On the other, imperial thrones drape themselves in the lineage of medieval warrior-princes, turning the sacred into a state-sanctioned banner for kinetic triumph. This is the literal manifestation of drawing close with the lips while the heart is entirely consumed by the machinery of empire. The Vatican’s compromised silence proves it lacks the spiritual legitimacy to speak for the Prince of Peace.

To align with these earthly state-churches is to fall back into the trap of the visible king. The Invisible God does not participate in the math of human violence; He shakes and reshapes these very thrones.

When a society institutionalizes corruption and violence, the response is not argument—it is removal. The sudden tumbling of the Papal throne in 1978 and the collapse of the Persian/Iran imperial throne in 1979 were not random geopolitical shifts. They were a divine shaking of the Nations, a sign that the Invisible God was signalling the end of the old order.

Pierre Trudeau, the Year of Three Popes, and the Divine Shaking of Earthly Powers

The Delusion of the Visible King and Weaponized Relics

When the warning is sounded that the world is going mad—simultaneously crazy and angry—the collective consciousness, conditioned by monetized outrage and journalistic omission, immediately seeks to oversimplify the collapse. Digital crowds eagerly applaud narratives that lay blame solely on individual “madmen.” They miss the multi-generational machinery humming beneath the surface.

They turn a blind eye to the reality that Western systems are financing global brinkmanship on a mountain of borrowed money, driving humanity toward the unthinkable.This public delusion plays directly into a lethal theatre of miscalculation and economic piracy. While crowds debate the personalities of leaders, the imperial apparatus openly brags about weaponizing currency networks to induce widespread human suffering.

In public congressional testimony, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent detailed how a deliberate strategy of creating artificial dollar shortages was deployed to crash the Iranian currency, bankrupting institutions and sending inflation into free fall. This engineered economic depression, calculated to force desperate citizens into the streets, exposes the raw malice hidden behind Western moral posturing. As critical military historians observe, raw violence—whether executed through missiles or administrative currency manipulation—is the core currency used to enforce the checkered wall.

The Blindness in the Digital Public Square

This multi-sided theatre of miscalculation collided with brutal physical reality when the corporate state’s reliance on raw force fractured Canada both externally and internally at the same hour.

On the macro level, Prime Minister Mark Carney was forced to walk away from the negotiation table, rejecting a crushing 50% U.S. tariff wall aimed at working people and small enterprises.

At that precise moment of economic rupture, systemic madness breached the domestic sanctuary.In Fort Smith, Northwest Territories—the birthplace of the Prime Minister managing the nation’s financial levers—a mass-casualty shooting paralyzed the community at the kickoff of the Fireweed Festival, named for the resilient plant that is the first sign of life to bloom out of ashes.

When global systems operate through coercion, domestic peace fractures. The beam and the mote are one. The seed of lawlessness sown by imperial economic edict is bound to sprout as domestic carnage. It is a spiritual law as old as the prophets:

The Writing on the Wall: The War Economy

As forensic economists document, this global collapse is driven by a deliberate predatory architecture. The corporate system has built an economic engine that thrives on financial destabilization, speculative fraud, and systemic corruption. Multi-trillion-dollar defence budgets are implemented at the direct cost of public welfare and the survival of ordinary working people. While a fraudulent minority amasses historic wealth, artificial depressions and mass poverty are imposed worldwide.

The public record published on September 13, 1976 in The Kansas City Times delivered a precise warning: “this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered.” Half a century later the bill has come due. Today’s financial managers worship paper instruments and debt metrics, confusing speculative abstractions with real stability under the banner:

“It’s the economy, stupid!” described in Daniel 5

In other words, from then to now, ‘It’s the Economy, Stupid! The Writing is on the Wall concerning Global Economies

The ancient verdict—Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin—applies directly to our contracting global order:

FACT: the Medes and Persians are the Iranians TODAY. You decide if history is repeating itself in our generations?

In 2014 ISIS blew up the Islamic Mosque in Nineveh, Iraq, containing the tomb of Jonah in the whale fame from the Jewish-Christian Bible. That was an ignored Red Flag warning to this World to be vigilant to the Signs of the Times

The Paused Frame of Judgment and Legal Betrayal

The legal architecture for this systemic captivity was locked into place long ago. Fourteen years have passed since a Constitutional Scholar, sitting in the highest office of the American empire, signed the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act into law rather than wielding a veto.

In doing so, the executive branch received the power to detain anyone indefinitely without trial. Decisions regarding preemptive warfare and nuclear escalation are weighed by a political elite detached from the working class living paycheck to paycheck.

This unravelling was mathematically mapped in the 1976 warnings. A precise 30-month timeline concerning a treaty between Israel and Egypt was fulfilled in March 1979 with the Camp David Accords. Negotiations collapsed on the 12th day; an unexpected window opened on the 13th.

The November 2,1976 All Souls Day historical newspaper record:

Seven years to the month later, the movie ‘The Day After’ Kansas City was incinerated in a nuclear holocaust was shown to the World on November 20, 1983. See for yourself the Sign of the Times at the 2-13 second mark. The Day After will be too late!

The Jubilee Reset

When a society must run faster and faster just to stay in place, it is time to look at foundational solutions.

The ancient wisdom of the Lord’s Prayer offers direct economic counsel: Forgive us our debts, as we forgive those indebted to us. Global debt cancellation, the slashing of bloated militaries, and heavy restraints on the financial sector would trigger the transformation needed for a post-growth reality.

The corporate state wants us to believe our safety lies with market metrics and merchants of war. But true survival will be determined locally.

It will belong to decentralized, autonomous pockets of ordinary people who break the spell of indifference, step into the authority of the I AM, grow their own food, and form deep bonds of trust with their neighbours.

The choice remains absolute: follow the collapsing iron cross of corporate capitalism to destruction, or stand up and claim a universal brotherhood based on justice and shared abundance.
