Bailout

[vzolkosk]

I wish this was not accurate but I am afraid it is. Also what is unsaid is that the portion of the bailout bill that read the bailout applied only to instruments that were owned by the bank as of the date the bill passed was eliminated.

This means that at anytime in the future a foreign owned bank (and there are plenty of them jeer in the U.S.) can

There's no mention of the US in Revelation because it didn't exist, and because that entire book is devoted to warning Christians to resist Rome. According to the time expectations and specifications, the events of Revelation have come and gone.

Anyway. Carry on.

You know I'm not religious, but whoa - doesn't Revelation just give you the willies sometimes?

[vzolkosk]

Yeah, I told Wes one time that when Revelations was written nobody would have been able to conceive that a country would exist in the future that would be called the United States and he told me it was referred to by some other name or a euphomism (if I use this word correctly) was used. I always liked that answer because that meant you could interpret Revelations, or any other book, subject, paragraph or statement in any way you want to mean anything you want. Oh - by gosh. That's what our congress did with the bailout bill. It's written in a way that can be interpreted in many different ways depending on what you want to accomplish.

Yeah, Revelations is spooky in some ways, as are the predictions of Nostradamus. I always though that if you predict enough things and don't define a timeline that can be pinned down,things will happen at some point that will fit closely enough that will make the prediction seem accurate - kind of like a horoscope. Is that the law of chaos?

Yeah, you can see my reply to Pipi

I am very disappointed in the final bailout bill. I absolutely wanted some kind of bailout, because we were headed for disaster, but from what I understand the banks were more or less allowed to determine their own value. This was not the right way to do it.

There was an author who interpreted revelations for modern times. At the moment I can't remember who it was, but I'd like to read it over and revelations again to refresh my memory. He compared the ten headed beast to the EU and the US is the whore.

Now its going to drive me crazy until I remember.

Thats what I figured they'd both stuff it with so many attatchments that it would take more than the 700B they said it would and that it would go on forever

[vzolkosk]

You are correct in that it could go on forever as it is worded in such a way that our Congress can dip in again without a vote.

I'd like to know who the author was who interpreted Revelations the way you recall. I did answer Pipi about interpretations. And I wonder if the Chaos Theory concerning predictions is a possibility.

Do you remember when Chariots of the gods was popular, back in the early '70's? It was popular then as well, but the title and author elude me.

[vzolkosk]

I do recall Chariots of the Gods. I wonder if the NY Times archives or something like that might be worth checking. I think I'll do that when I get a few minutes.
