WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION
SHUTS DOWN

We
moved to Seattle in early November of 1993 to conduct a prayer campaign from
there before moving to Minneapolis three years later (1996).
On
November 21-29, 1993, we launched our Jubilee Prayer Campaign in our case
before the Divine Court. Our case stated, in part, that because Babylon had
failed to bring righteousness into the earth to fulfill its dominion mandate,
the overcomers were asking God to give us the dominion mandate.
We
understood at the time that we would have to wait a full year (12 months),
according to the pattern in Daniel 4:29. This was the chapter
where King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream where he saw the big tree stripped of its
leaves and cut down. The tree, Daniel said, was the king himself, representing
Babylon as a nation. It took 12 months for that dream to begin to be fulfilled.
We
waited 12 months until November 29, 1994, at which time we saw God’s answer as
well. Speaker of the House, Tom Foley, lost the election to George Nethercutt,
and Washington was thus “de-foley-ated” by Nethercutt (“a lower cut”). Congress
passed the GATT Treaty, a precursor to the World Trade Organization on November
29, and then Foley made a speech similar to the way that Nebuchadnezzar had
bragged. Then Foley resigned from the House.
We
knew from this that God’s answer ruled in our favor, and that Washington was
going to be stripped of its branches and cut down by its “free trade” policy. We
understood that this was the start of a huge transfer of money from West to
East, mostly to China, until America was impoverished, indebted, and
bankrupted.
The
liberals in Seattle, WA (which spiritually represents Washington DC) organized
protests. One such protest occurred on November 30, 1999.
Seattle
is controlled by the liberal Democrats, so it must have been disconcerting for
the political leaders there to call out the cops to suppress the protesters
with “non-lethal” torture tactics. The protesters did not bring the WTO to an
end, of course, but they did draw attention to the fact that it was a policy
designed to build China’s economy at America’s expense.
Of
course, this was just the final step in a decades-long plan to shift world
economic and political power from America to China. China was already shifting
its economic policies toward a hybrid of Communism and Capitalism to
accommodate the big corporations and banks. Hence, the corporations were
already moving to China to prepare for the next century of China’s dominion.
Of
course, plans do not always work out the way they think. First of all, they did
not plan on any prayer campaigns where the overcomers would take them to the
Divine Court. Their plans continued smoothly through the Clinton-Bush-Obama
administrations.
Hillary
Clinton was supposed to be the final president to bring us into the new Chinese
Century, and they never thought she would lose. But they did not plan for the
election of Donald Trump in 2016.
Trump
saw this overall plan, as did nearly everyone who understood Big Business
during those years. His MAGA platform was essentially a revolt against the plan
to shift power to China and make the Chinese version of Communism the standard
model for the whole world.
Trump’s
introduction of tariffs went directly against the idea of “free trade.” America
was built on tariffs and excise taxes for more than a hundred years. From an
economic standpoint, you can say that this is what made America “great” and
what funded the government. There was no “income tax” until 1916, and even
then, by subterfuge, they made it appear that the “Income Tax Amendment”
applied to individual wages instead of just corporate income.
The
US Constitution guaranteed us the right to “the pursuit of happiness,” which
the Supreme Courts defined essentially as our God-given right to work (or labor).
You cannot tax a right, so the US government simply redefined rights under God
to mean privileges granted by government. Privileges can be taxed, because the
government wants a return on its labor in granting those privileges.
Trump’s
MAGA platform has revived the old system of funding the government, and this is
eroding the perceived need for taxes on individual wages and salaries. I
believe in the end the IRS will be abolished, and the government will obtain
revenue from other sources.
In
conjunction with this new plan disrupting the flow of trade favoring China,
Trump has decided to shut down the WTO altogether. He has not tried to get
Congress to do this by legislation. He has simply refused to replace the
retiring judges of the WTO. There were supposed to be seven Appellate judges on
the court. As of yesterday, when two judges retired, there was just one
remaining judge. The rules said that a single judge could not rule on any
appealed cases.
The
WTO may continue to function, as long as the disputing parties don’t appeal
their cases beyond the lower court. But if they do, the cases go into limbo and
cannot be enforced. Hence, it would be in the interests of every party that
loses a case in the lower court to appeal it to the Appellate Court, as this
would, in effect, render the lower court decision void.
GENEVA
(AP) — Global commerce will lose its ultimate umpire Tuesday, leaving countries
unable to reach a final resolution of disputes at the World Trade Organization
and instead facing what critics call “the law of the jungle.’’
The
United States, under a president who favors a go-it-alone approach to economics
and diplomacy, appears to prefer it that way.
The
terms of two of the last three judges on the WTO’s appellate body neared their
end at midnight Tuesday. Their departure will deprive the de facto Supreme
Court of world trade of its ability to issue rulings.
Among
the disputes left in limbo are seven cases that have been brought against
Trump’s decision last year to declare foreign steel and aluminum a threat to
U.S. national security and to hit them with import taxes.
The
WTO’s lower court — its dispute settlement body — can hear cases. But its decisions
will go nowhere if the loser appeals to a higher court that is no longer
functioning.
Sometimes
God answers prayer in unusual ways. If we ask God to give us a greater capacity
to love, God gives us a lot of practice. If we ask for patience, He puts us in
situations where we can exercise patience. In the case of our 1993 prayer
campaign, He answered our appeal against Babylon by accelerating its leaders’
plan to drive the West into bankruptcy.
We
are indeed near bankruptcy, but Hillary is not there to hand over power to our
Chinese creditors. Another plan has been put in its place. We will have a new
financial system that has yet to be unveiled. And it will not put Americans
under the dominion of China. We know this because we have reached the end of
the four beast systems prophesied in Daniel 7. We have concluded all of the
extensions of Rome, the “little horn,” and the two beasts in Revelation 13.
Prophecy
says nothing of any more beasts. Instead, it just tells us that the final
little horn will oppress the saints until the time comes for the saints to
possess the Kingdom (Daniel 7:21, 22). We reached
the full end of that system on October 12, 2017, as I have explained many
times.
Now
we see the WTO being shut down. That is a major development in this financial
war. It is tied directly to our prayer campaign in 1993, and so I believe it
marks the beginning of the end of the old bankrupt system. I do not know how
long it may take to implement the new system, but at some point there will be a
quick change-over, perhaps over a long week end.
This
may wait until Trump’s second term in office, or it might happen sooner. But
either way, we ought to be watchful and know that whatever happens, it is an
answer to prayer. Judgment is coming upon Babylon, and this will affect us all.
If we remain close to Jesus, it will affect us in a positive way. Insofar as we
are tied to Babylon and its system, we will be affected negatively to some
extent, but in the end, it will be positive for everyone.
But
look up, "for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28 KJV).
