Liberalism achieved peak prosperity on a non taper rally. On going monetization of debt, specifically Ben Bernanke’s call for no tapering, that is for QEternity, made for a sell of the US Dollar, $USD, which closed the week down 1.2% at 80.56, and propelled Nation Investment, EFA, 2.2%, World Stocks, VT, 1.6%, Global Producers, FXR, 1.4%, US Stocks, VTI, 1.3%, and the S&P 500, SPY, 0.8%, to new all time highs.


Sectors rising this week included Solar Stocks, TAN, 3.8%, Nasdaq Internet, 3.6%, Home Builders, ITB, 3.0%, Small Cap Pure Value, RZV, 2.4%, Casinos and Resorts, 2.2% higher. Global Real Estate, DRW, popped 3.9%, higher.


The Eurozone, EZU, rose 3.1%, to a new rally high, as Italy, EWI, rose 3.8%, Spain, EWP, 3.6%, Germany, EWG, 3.3%, and Ireland, Ireland, EIRL 3.2%, and Finland, EFNL, 3.0%.


Asia Excluding Japan, EPP, rose 2.5%, to a new rally high, as THD, rose, 6.7%, IDX 5.6%, New Zealand, ENZL, 4.4%, EWM 4.1%, and the Philippines, EPHE, 3.8%.


Emerging Markets, EEM, rose 2.2%, to a new rally high, as Turkey, TUR, rose, 9.5%, Chile, ECH 4.9%, Argentina, ARGT, 4.7%.


US Stocks, VTI, rose 1.4%, and the S&P 500, SPY, 0.8%, both to new all time highs, with the chart of the S&P 500, $SPX, showing a rise of 1.3% to its new all time high.

Jesus Christ has always been at the helm of the economy of God, Ephesians 1:10, operating in dispensation, that is in active oversight of human economic and political endeavors for the fulfillment of every age, epoch, era and time period.

The fiat wealth of liberalism has been surging ever higher. Peak prosperity was achieved Wednesday September 18, 2013 with Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke affirming QEternity; it’s provision constitutes passing the Rubicon of sound monetary policy as evidenced by the trade lower in World Stocks, VT, on Friday September 20, 2013. Peak Prosperity has come via a policy of investment choice in the moral hazard based fiat money system, which is based on schemes of credit and carry trade investing, all designed for investment gain.

The zenith of liberalism was foretold in the statue of empires, as foretold in Bible prophecy of Daniel 2:25-45, where two iron legs of hegemonic power, would rise to rule the world, these being the British Empire, and the US Dollar Hegemonic Empire, only to experience dissolution into an unstable mixture of ten toes of iron diktat and clay democracy, that is ten zones of regional governance and totalitarian collectivism, this being confirmed by the rise of the Beast Regime of Revelation 13:1-4, to replace liberalism’s Banker Regime. God’s idea of economy has been, is now, and will ever be one of empire. The Libertarian dream of freedom, and free things like “free prices” for labor, for example, is an illusion on both the liberalism as well as authoritarianism “desert of the real”.

Under authoritarianism, the schemes of debt servitude schemes, are the order of the day and include such things as regional framework agreements, bank deposits bailins, new taxes, privatizations, capital controls, austerity measures, and statist vitalizations where banks and other corporations are given charter to operate as public private partnerships for regional economic security, regional stability and regional sustainability; all of which enforces austerity.
