BUSINESS OBAMA-STYLE newsobserver/2014/01/15/3532737/obama-to-name-ncsu-home-to-new.html Well, Labor Unions and small businesses should just love Obama. That is because it is becoming more and more evident he is for the more capital intensive corporate interests. Many small businesses, whose size is above fifty or so employees, which number includes part-time workers, are now finding out that they are not going to be able to keep mind hire employees due to the now artificially rising health-care costs due to government interference. Where to turn??? Thats it! Robotics and automation. The other night, on Coast-to-Coast AM, a guest predicted the wholesale slaughter of jobs by advances in automation technology that are just around the corner in the next few decades. And the Affordable Care Act is helping firms, that is, those who can afford it, into making decisions towards replacing workers with technology. Obama has done the more established small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap corporations the favor of helping them no longer have to wring their hands about the thought of whether or not to lay-off large numbers of workers. It just now has become a matter of survival. Of course, the energy demands may increase to power up all these new lights-out operations, but alas! The Obama administration has been mindful of this too. The spearhead of this new technological initiative centered at N.C. States Centennial Campus is to accelerate exploits in advances in next-generation, energy-efficient semiconductor chips and devices. One of the firms to receive this grant money, Vacon, is a Finnish company with 50 employees in Research Triangle Park that makes drives that control electric motors. Another firm the article mentions as one of the recipients of this money is ABB, a Swiss corporation that just happens to be one of the worlds leading robotics manufacturers. The grant is described as the largest in N.C. State’s history. When I heard of the technology initiative a couple of months ago, I thought, OK, maybe the administration is getting pressured (by big labor or the growing unemployed), or sees the light regarding American first policies and the need to help spawn more jobs domestically. However, unless Im incorrect, the research initiative news produced by the administration seemed to have all but fizzled out here. It doesnt appear the Obama administration is turning over of a new leaf in terms of planting seed money very much across the board in very many sectors of manufacturing and industry (except perhaps for investments to short with on the stock market in the green industry). And so, what will happen when all these jobs are dumped across the board as a result of this anticipated wave of more sophisticated and less costly automation and robotics? Well that perhaps may be the reason for all the currently unoccupied detention facilities that have sprung up across the nation in the last couple of decades. People will not have jobs to go to, and therefore no money, and they will not be able to keep their homes. They will either be encouraged to move to one of the friendly Federal detention centers, or will be picked up by authorities as they will likely be found trespassing hunting for scraps in local dipsy-dumpsters, loitering in the city streets, or found sleeping in their cars in the Wal-Mart parking lots. People will be able to once again be fed, and receive their medications (the ones on the approved list) and obtain some sort of a basic health care--something they had signed up for in years past--having been promised-- but because of logistical hiccups, have not been able to receive on any dependable basis. (The idea of any advanced therapy for various illnesses will have been forgotten about long ago--the people in the main by this time no longer know such even exist...) Not only would the people receive these cradle to grave benefits in these detention centers--but they will be given something to do--some work to do. However, Ellen Whites statement in the book Education (quoted in a comment in the Two Witnesses post below), indicates that there will be some sort of trouble brewing amidst what the planners have devised for themselves. There will be a few rough bumps on the road in this quest towards world order. (--really, a scenario leading to events as portrayed in Rev. 17:16, 17). Perhaps there will be rumors regarding the camps, or the character of the camps turn more insidious over time, producing vast groups who wish not to cooperate, and resulting in tumults and violent suppressions and general unrest and chaos out in society. Her statement here in Education doesnt mention the upheavals in context of national Sunday Laws. So this all may happen before these come about. The tumult and unrest may perhaps be the reason for the laws to come about--to help produce cooperation. But if so, then there may be by this time millions, perhaps tens of millions, in these detention facilities (--I will continue to use this euphemism) by the time these laws begin to be enacted. The enactment of such Sunday laws in these Federal domains (before becoming more general and widespread), may also happen to be where many SDAs unwittingly have landed up their pilgrimages. This may be another angle to the sudden and unlooked-for calamity statement Ellen White writes about in Christs Object Lessons ch. 29. Many SDAs had not thought about this happening, and are in a very poor position, once in such facilities, to be able to carry out their Faith. Hence it may be important that if one is an SDA, and prodded to move to one of these facilities, to avoid them at all costs. And certainly do not do anything that would provoke the authorities to remove oneself to these facilities involuntarily. Ellen White wrote much about country living--owning a small plot of land in remote areas to live on and grow ones food on, to be prepared ahead of the crisis. Perhaps there are more and more reasons accumulating now to do so, especially if one has a family. Now the idea of work-camps involving religious tenets is not new. Back in the 1600s and 1700s, the Jesuits experimented with such camps mining precious metals in what is Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia, etc. today, using the native Guarani Indians. These were experiments because they were among the first trail-run socialist societies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesuit_Reductions A favorable portrayal of this history may be found in the 1986 film The Mission starring Robert De Niro. I saw it at a movie theater when I was living in Charlotte. A more neutral account of this history may be found in the book The Expulsion of the Jesuits from Latin America by Magnus Mörner. The book describes a situation in which over a hundred thousand (according to official estimates) of Guarani Indians were captured, and sent to reductions, or haciendas (Spanish for plantation) They were then corralled into indoctrination centers and then stirred up into fanatical zeal for the Jesuits, all while in their de facto slave status, using techniques outlined in Ignatius Loyolas Spiritual Exercises. It was the Stockholm syndrome on steroids, using a mixture of religion and psychological techniques to produce a massive voluntary mining army which greatly expanded the holdings of the Order up to the brink of their expulsion in 1773 (1767 in Spain and Portugal). It can only be speculated as to what much of these holdings were eventually used for, as not much was confiscated as a result of the expulsion. My theory is that the precious metals formed the basis of many of the worlds central banking systems and to lay a foundation for Ignatius mercantilist schemes on behalf of the Vatican.* The Vatican was finding it necessary to transform itself from a land-based feudal enterprise to one founded on commerce. This was mainly as a result of the activities of Jewish and Dutch merchants, who had precious metals to carry around and used them to trade with, steadily increasing their wealth until they vied with the Vatican and pro-Vatican fiefdom land holdings on the European economic stage. Vatican and pro-Vatican interests considered that these newer interests needed to be curtailed, especially as part of the Catholic Counter-reformation scheme. Hence the formation of new nation-states founded upon the Babylonian concept of a fiat currency and fractional reserve systems. These banking practices were based upon the existence of precious metals held in new central banking systems. This money, in the form of notes--not real wealth, was used to divert commerce away from the newer trading interests back towards that of the Vatican once again by means of funding adherence to government sponsored licensing and laws. We see this principle at work today in the way our Federal government today bribes and buys adherence of the states to its rules and regulations since the Federal Reserve can withhold its funds to the states if they do not voluntarily comply with some Federal plan or program. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve can print as much as it wants, whereas the states cannot, as they do not have central banks, making them still subject to the old economic laws of supply and demand, unless bought into the benefits of the Reserve system by various means. The use of these reserve systems brought upon modern society the phenomenon of economic bubbles and depressions, as inflation was created which result in consequent corrections and crashes. However, in the meantime, political clout is always being generated through the re-etching of laws by means of bribery of government officials who control the police power, which services are usurped by the special interests at the expense of the populace. Our RC friend Chief Justice John Roberts is a glaring example of one those types who have these special interests at heart. MC *Both previously in Spain and here again at Paris, he [i.e. Ignatius of Loyola] came under suspicion of heresy and was examined by the Inquisition. He was always cleared, but did spend some time in prison. He was, of course, perennially short of money; [for] three years running, he paid visits to Bruges, Antwerp, and London, where he successfully solicited funds from rich Spanish merchants.
