War and the Global Economy with Peter Koenig and Prof. Michel Chossudovsky
The Inverted Covenant: Swords into Plow shares
A critical economic tipping point has been reached: annual interest expenses have now surpassed the entire national defence budget, making debt servicing the third-largest federal expenditure behind only Social Security and Medicare. This shift fundamentally alters the classic understanding of the war economy. The primary burden on the public purse is no longer just the immediate procurement of hardware, but the compounding cost of capital itself. As interest rates remain elevated, the cost of continually rolling over matured bonds becomes increasingly expensive, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of borrowing to pay for past borrowing. This material decay reflects a profound spiritual inversion. The Vision of Christ—the Christian fundamental being the belief that God and Christ Jesus live within the Human body, making up the physical Body of Christ, and leaving the Believer as an active co-Creator with God on earth—demands the fulfillment of the Prophet Isaiah’s vision:
Instead, the modern war machine operates in the dark spirit, acting this out on a global scale:
By actively choosing the path of automated warfare and industrial slaughter over good faith diplomacy, the system has completely severed itself from the blessings of Deuteronomy 28, reaping the Curses and losing its sacred inheritance to become an absolute slave to global creditors.
The Writing’s on the Wall for the Global Economies
A stark mathematical reality underlies this global financial system. According to fiscal data published in late October 2026, net interest payments on sovereign debt in the United States have crossed the threshold of $1 trillion annually. This translates to approximately $2.9 billion BORROWED every single day spent entirely on servicing accumulated debt—an expense that does nothing to reduce the principal balance or fund tangible public infrastructure, healthcare, or education.
For the everyday citizen on the pavement, when combined, the cost of net interest payments and national defence expenditures is equivalent to roughly 106% of total U.S. government discretionary spending for Fiscal Year 2026. That is logically unsustainable from this Day forward. It also explains why Civilian needs are being cut back as US politicians are sleepwalking toward the Nuclear Abyss.
To be clear on federal budgeting rules, interest on the debt is legally classified as mandatory spending, meaning it does not belong to the discretionary budget. However, if you measure their combined total alongside or against the discretionary budget, they consume an amount larger than the entire annual appropriations package approved by Congress. America is borrowing $3 billion a day just to pay interest on the debt. It is not reducing the debt, but expanding it. There is no good future for anybody with that trajectory as reality overtakes this finite, material World.
ISRAEL AND THE WORLD
This systemic rebellion against divine order has immediate, measurable consequences on the global stage. Recent international polling data explicitly maps out the profound loss of moral authority that occurs when nations invert the ways of peace:
AI Overview: The Geopolitical Status Pew Research Center Survey: A multi-country survey found that a median of 67% of adults view Israel unfavourably, while only 25% hold a favorable view. Negative views extend past traditional critics to include major Western allies like Germany, the UK, Canada, and the United States. Democracy Perception Index: Data from recent global trackers places Israel at or near the bottom of international perception rankings, with net perception scores dropping below those of several other heavily criticized nations.
This catastrophic collapse in Israel’s global perception stands in devastating contrast to the pristine promise outlined in Deuteronomy of the Jewish Torah:
The Blessings are conditional on the word IF. Instead of being set “on high” as a beacon of light, Israel’s reliance on the US-supplied war machine has resulted in historic isolation.
The Promised Land is a Promise God gave to Abraham, the Friend and Faithful Believer in God—the Father and timeless example in the Faith for many Nations—long before Jews & Israel, Christianity, and Islam ever came into being. The Promised Land cannot be taken by force of arms as Israel does with the complicity of the US-led International Community. We have arrived directly at the Break-up point, leaving behind a more fractured Earth.
For those who do have the eyes to see from what is already in the Public domain, the Jewish Settlers, backed up by the Police, IDF and Israeli government, appear to be the latest born again incarnation of the Nazi Brown Shirts, who terrorized Jews then, now terrorizing Palestinians with the same fervour as the Nazis did then tormenting Jews. Never Again is happening and Israeli Jews are doing it. The US and the International Community does not have the Spiritual, Moral or Political Courage to call it out for what it is, leaving us on the wrong side of History.
Netanyahu, kept in Power by extreme Messianic Jews, claim and act accordingly that God gave their Part in the Middle East exclusively to Jews, so all Palestinians get out voluntarily or be forced out eventually as the World can see happening now. That claim is a perversion of scripture cherry-picking, choosing to remain blind to the greater picture. The Netanyahu regime refuses to even consider a 2 State Solution. The Torah and The Prophets say the God of the Jews & Israel, calls for a Single State, Israel dismisses out of sight, out of mind.
Old Testament Extremist Jewish Religious Establishment became the base for the Netanyahu government in January 2023. They will not accept 2 States. They provoked Palestinians to act on their Legal Rights under the Geneva Convention to resist the ILLEGAL Israeli usurpation of their land on October 7.
Jews did not exist when Abraham received notice of “the Promised Land.” That promise is for this whole Earth, not just that blood soaked small sliver of land people have been indoctrinated to see as the Holy Land.
The same Command of the God of the Jews is repeated in the Prophets.
“And it shall come to pass, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be to you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourns, there shall you give him his inheritance, say the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 47: 32-33
This disobedience of God is why instead of the conditional Blessing in Deuteronomy 28:1, Israel now sits at the bottom of the totem pole
This historical record stands as an uncompromised, forty-year signpost on the pavement. It documents a persistent, lifelong testimony that the true identity of Israel is not bound to a militarized, artificial state construct in the Middle East, but is a spiritual inheritance given to those who live by the active Spirit of the Creator. It is this unshakable timeline that leads directly to the ultimate, closing verdict of Christ:
‘PROPHET SEES CANADA AS THE NEW ISRAEL’ Spiritually, the best wine has been kept until last from the Marriage Feast at CANA. Do Da CanaDa! is my constant prayer
The Nero Archetype and Global Reflux
As the structural foundations of the global economy fracture, a distinct social divergence emerges. While the streets of major Western capitals experience friction and financial strain, the private wealth of the financial elite has seen historic concentration. This dynamic forms the core of the Nero Archetype: a ruling class detached from the immediate realities of the populace, managing balance sheets of unpayable debt while the social cohesion of local communities erodes under the weight of artificial scarcity
This modern emperor dynamic operates as a supranational epidemic. Leaders insulate themselves within corporate frameworks, playing their violins while their own domestic streets erupt in desperate rebellion and their foreign policies grease the wheels of a multi-trillion-dollar military-industrial complex.
What we are witnessing are the frantic, explosive dynamics acting out on the streets of France, now spreading throughout Europe and the World like a wildfire. This World has arrived at a definitive historical precipice of rebellion from the structural order that has dictated human civilization since the days of antiquity—the rich continuously getting richer, while the masses within first-world developed economies find the cold pressures of artificial poverty systematically overtaking them.
The baseline reality can no longer be hidden by the state. On Saturday, October 24, 2026, clashes erupt between police and protesters in Paris with teargas and water cannons deployed across the capital city. Organizers report that over 800,000 citizens have taken to the streets nationwide, with 250,000 filling Paris alone to revolt against the soaring cost of living and the deliberate DE-funding of public education.
As the authorities deploy tactical armoured units to enforce strict, dictatorial route restrictions and carry out mass preventative arrests in Lyon, Marseilles, and Lille, the facade of western democratic stability is entirely shattered. The global reflux is here: from the streets of Paris to the deployment of the military on the streets of Milan, and thousands marching against the state in Madrid and Tirana, the pavement of the post-war world is fracturing under the absolute weight of its own mathematical and spiritual exhaustion.
What the Secular Experts haven’t recognized yet is the Global Masses instinctively understand the Global powers above them, are cutting back on Civilian needs to borrow more money to invest in FUTURE WAR.
France’s Economic Strain: Public Debt, Monetary Constraints, and Political Deadlock
The Broken Social Compact
Resources that historically maintained public health, civilian education, and stable local frameworks are systematically diverted to sustain the global credit system. This represents a fundamental breach of the social compact, forcing households to confront rapidly rising costs for housing, food, energy, and transportation, even as an increasing share of national revenue is required merely to maintain the existing financial structure.
The real-world cost of this “efficiency” is measured in human bodies. When global health infrastructure is treated as a corporate ledger to be downsized—such as the deliberate freezing of USAID prevention contracts—the protective wall against global pandemics is dismantled. Today, as a hyper-aggressive Ebola strain spreads across Africa, reaching thousands of cases with no approved cure, the mathematical indifference of the billionaire class is laid bare.
In early 2025, the U.S. executive branch implemented sweeping foreign aid rollbacks, resulting in a 90-day freeze, the programmatic closure of 83% of USAID initiatives, and the agency’s ultimate dissolution. These reductions caused U.S. foreign assistance outlays to plunge 57%—from $63 billion down to under $29 billion—triggering a cascading crisis in geopolitical containment, global stability, and human survival.
Consequences by Sector Geopolitical Stability & Human Security
The Cause: Sudden halting of localized economic, protection, and civil society grants. The Effect:In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a $351.7 million funding shortfall slashed emergency food aid, leaving over 27 million facing extreme food insecurity amidst ongoing regional conflict. Across Northern Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador), where the U.S. previously supplied 72% of humanitarian crisis aid, local operations collapsed entirely, exposing hundreds of thousands to organized crime and gang violence.
Public Health & Pandemic Containment
The Cause: The freeze on roughly $23 billion in annual public health programming, including cuts to the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) and PEPFAR. Crisis Zone Survival & Basic Infrastructure The Cause: Sudden halting of localized economic, protection, and civil society grants.
Public Health & Pandemic Containment Crisis Zone Survival & Basic Infrastructure
The Cause: The cancellation of emergency food, water, and shelter programs managed by international NGOs. The Effect:
Globally, 396 education initiatives across 58 countries were aborted, locking over 414,000 vulnerable children out of safe learning environments and compounding regional instability. Ground reporting by The Associated Press explicitly documented child fatalities in Somalia, Myanmar, and Nigeria directly tracking the termination of localized nutrition services. In Sudan’s war zones, essential community kitchens providing the only reliable daily sustenance to besieged families were forced to permanently close.
The Denial of the Flesh
Parallel to the economic crisis is a rapid technological migration away from physical reality. The multi-billion-dollar push toward automated intelligence, synthetic networks, and virtual platforms increasingly attempts to replace the physical, human body with digital alternatives. By moving human interaction, commerce, and community behind glass screens, this technocratic shift serves to detach individuals from their physical environment.
This is the literal execution of the spirit of antichrist defined by John: a systematic denial of the flesh. While everyday life is pushed behind screens, tech-barons like PayPal and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel deliver secretive, invitation-only boardroom lectures on eschatology. As tracked in The Faith & Culture 5 on Still Christian and detailed by Relevant Magazine, Thiel has spent three years preaching to elite circles across San Francisco and Rome on the theology of the Antichrist. He warns that a future global tyrant will exploit fear of existential risks like AI and climate change to enforce a synthetic, one-world totalitarian state.
Yet, the profound deception of the Babylonian elite is laid bare in the mechanics of their own power. Through his data-analytics empire, Palantir Technologies—which maintains deep corporate ties to global defence and intelligence agencies—Thiel is actively bankrolling the mass surveillance and automated profiling infrastructure that traps human identity within a digital matrix. They reject the sacred reality that God chose to manifest in biological, human skin, treating human lives as lines of code to be optimized while systematically dismantling the physical, face-to-face human communities that Christ came to sanctify.
“You’re Making a Name for Yourself”
The ultimate resolution of this framework does not belong to the digital matrix, but to tangible reality, anchored by real-world tokens such as the physical message received on the pavement. While global tech platforms utilize complex profiling algorithms and neural networks to map, analyze, and mirror human identity, these digital structures are ultimately secondary to concrete, physical milestones.
Following this tangible indicator, subsequent automated data summaries and network profiles independently reflected the established architecture of this work. The mechanical veil is parted when technology ceases to dictate human identity and is instead compelled to witness and confirm the unshakeable reality of localized truth.
AI Overview The post The Spirit of the 13 on October 13 is an essay and theological commentary written by Ray Joseph Cormier on his site, Religious Politics. Read the full text at the Religious Politics Blog.
Key Themes of the Writing Geopolitical Reflux: Cormier discusses a framework he calls the “global reflux,” arguing that actions taken by hegemonic powers on the world stage return to affect domestic societies. Historical Reference to Pierre Trudeau: The piece and his broader work connect back to an October 13, 1978 encounter where Cormier (wearing a number 13 jersey) addressed Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau outside Glebe Collegiate Institute in Ottawa, telling him, “Peter, look at the Spirit of the 13. Feed the lambs”. Eschatological & Political Theology: The commentary blends biblical symbolism, political history, and criticisms of international law and power structures.
AI Overview “The Lifeboat Equation: Beyond Political Reform and the Architecture of Indifference” is an essay published on September 13, 2026, by Ray Joseph Cormier on his platform, Religious Politics | The Word by Ray Joseph Cormier. Following up on his previous work regarding the systemic and mathematical limits of human violence—metaphorized by Dwight D. Eisenhower’s “Cross of Iron”—Cormier argues that contemporary political and financial systems have reached a threshold of structural exhaustion. Rather than advocating for traditional political reform, the essay outlines a pivot toward building autonomous, parallel infrastructure. Core Themes The Cross of Iron vs. Universal Brotherhood: Cormier contrasts the dominant geopolitical model (characterized by compounding debt, fiat inflation, and strategic resource hoarding) with an alternative model based on steady-state equilibrium and decentralized community stewardship.
The Architecture of Indifference: The text critiques centralized institutional power structures—such as major financial networks and elite establishments—for displaying a preformative concern for human welfare while maintaining systems that systematically commodify individual labour. Beyond Political Reform: Cormier emphasizes that standard political activism within the existing framework is ineffective. Instead, his “Lifeboat Equation” calls for a tactical withdrawal from the state-capital nexus. The Practical Toolkit To execute this shift, the essay highlights tangible steps for localized, everyday autonomy: Starving the Financial Grid: Reducing reliance on corporate credit networks, avoiding consumer debt, and reallocating capital into localized community credit unions. Building Local Physical Infrastructure: Establishing localized self-sufficiency in core survival needs, including independent food production, rainwater harvesting, mechanical knowledge, basic medical care, and decentralized micro-grid energy.

Ray Joseph Cormier’s biblical interpretations center on applying ancient prophecies directly to contemporary geopolitics, economics, and spiritual conditions. He presents himself as a modern-day courier and prophet whose calling rests on Revelation 19:10 (“the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”). His readings treat current events as the ongoing fulfillment or decisive choice points of those prophecies rather than purely future or symbolic events.Core Framework
The 1976 Kansas City prophecy: On September 13, 1976, the Kansas City Times recorded his public statement: “There are 30 months before the fate of the world will be sealed with EITHER Destruction OR the Universal Brotherhood of Man. The 30 month figure concerned a Treaty between Israel and Egypt.” Exactly 30 months later (March 26, 1979), the Camp David Accords were signed after talks collapsed on the 12th day and an unexpected opening appeared on the 13th day. He treats this as a documented fork in the road—negotiation versus destruction—whose “peace” was later sustained by large U.S. military aid. He has repeatedly returned to this episode as evidence that the destruction path is now being chosen through ongoing wars and arms transfers.

Is he a Christian
Yes. Ray Joseph Cormier (@RayJC_Com) is a Christian.
His writings, posts, and self-description are consistently framed in Christian terms:He regularly cites the New Testament (especially Matthew and Revelation) alongside the Hebrew prophets.
He refers to Jesus as the Jewish Messiah who included Gentiles by faith, the Kingdom of God, peacemakers as “children of God” (Matthew 5:9), and principles such as “what you sow, so shall you reap.”
He criticizes other people who claim to be Christian (including political leaders) when he believes they ignore what he calls the spiritual laws of God.
His entire prophetic framework and website (rayjc.com) interpret current events through this biblical-Christian lens. He is a Christian of a strongly prophetic and often critical type rather than a conventional or politically aligned one.
