Elon Musk, Bit Coin, and Debt Monetization - One Gigantic Ponzi Scheme
March 5, 2021
Has the US become one big Ponzi scheme? Has the character of the nation come to the point that only Ponzi schemes hold any real interest on the part of investors and voters? We discuss the most unprofitable company in the world, and the profit it pulls from legalized extortion plots. The Federal Reserve stepped up debt monetization in 2008-ish, but as of 2020 the Fed is monetizing debt like it's going out of style. A few years ago, only 11% of the debt was monetized. Now we're looking at 27%. And, roughly 90% of the $4.5 trillion last year was monetized. In case our listeners are unaware of what fractional reserve banking and debt monetization looks like, we provide a little allegory to help out.

The cancel culture is stupid, arbitrary, laughable, as it goes after Dr. Seuss and Huck Finn. . . for all the wrong reasons. Ethics turn arbitrary and are always changing in this asylum. Nobody is safe, not even the Governor of New York. How do we appreciate other cultures, and retain the unity introduced by the Gospel? Huckleberry Finn has served as a major apologetic for the Christian apostasy of the last 100 years, but I guess. . . not anymore.

Are tyrants the ministers of God, or do they surrender their right to rule as far as they abandon righteousness and support wickedness? Kevin Swanson reviews the basics of a biblical worldview with Dr. Robert Fugate, author of the book, “Tyrants are Not the Ministers of God.”

Jesus is arrested for hate speech, technicalities, and misrepresentation. They said, "He said He would break down the temple and build it back in three days," or something to that effect. Paul's gatherings were unsafe. Too much sedition and definitely not enough social distance during the preaching. What happens in a post-Christian culture, with post-Christian judges, and post-Christian laws? Will we be arrested on technicalities? Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus talk about Christians in jail in Canada and America today.

We interact with a question from the listening audience, "Is Ravi Zacharias in heaven?" This initiates a conversation on judging. There are times at which the church is called to judge, and other times where it would be better not to judge. But, we are called not to be a "respecter of persons" when it comes to judging. By a biblical standard, some sins are more egregious in the sight of God than others. We fall into a trap when we go with the world's standard of judging—whether it be the sexual sins of Martin Luther King Jr., or those of Ravi Zacharias.

In this edition of Generations Radio, Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the Dirty Dozen List that was put out by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. Tech companies have their priorities wrong, intent on destroying Christian voices, while facilitating the sexual exploitation of children. Jesus said that it would be better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. What should Christians do during this time? Should they boycott these companies? How can Christians protect their children and raise them in the fear of God?

A Seventh-day Adventist goes to court and gets $50,000 from Frito Lay because he won’t work a Saturday. To force a private company to hire or fire somebody violates the 8th commandment. Now, homosexuals want similar treatment, and then this turns into real religious persecution of Seventh-day Adventist business owners, Christian churches, and colleges. Then, Kevin Swanson leaves the program with the bottom line. Nobody can exempt themselves from the grace of God to set the captives free from sin and sinful lifestyles.

The Western economy is the worst since 1709 (at least for the UK). The US economy is in free fall. But more importantly—the recent church scandals, including that of Falwell and Zacharias—are not to be minimized or shoved under the carpet. These scandals are seismic, and they signify a serious fall and humiliation to the Western church. The fire is burning. Will we have any gold, silver, and precious stones when the smoke clears?

Witchcraft. Eastern Religion. Ancestor Worship. Feminist Power. Women in Military. These were the themes surfacing in Disney's Milan 2020. Was it any surprise Disney offered support for Communist China's concentration camps, while abominating the pro-life cause in Georgia? Will children decipher the problem with the eastern Chi Force vs. a biblical metaphysic? Which is worse—Disney's support of abortion or whatever this modern pied piper is doing to the souls of children?

Here we look at the trajectory of the Hallmark Channel, which is supposed to be "family friendly." But what do these nebulous terms mean? The program looks at the career of Rush Limbaugh and his influence on the conservative movement of the last 35 years. He was the hope of a conservative, Christian America. Were his last years more humble and reverent towards God than his first years? We end with a few pointers on handling media—with an eye towards media that fears God. What does this look like?

Has Max Lucado, the leading evangelical writer of our generation recanted on his position taken in 2004 on homosexuality? Will he join the ranks of Cranmer and Latimer in the fire? When you're in the big leagues, you have to keep the gate keepers happy. If you are going to be on the New York Times best seller list, you're going to have to toss a little incense on Nero's altar. What would you do if the stakes were so high and they threaten to send you to "cancel corner" for six years?
