Today I heard a snippet of reporting on the BBC World Service to the effect that there are now an increasing number of supermarkets in Bangladesh. A local was enthusing about all the foreign products you can buy.
Bangladesh is one of the world's poorest countries. A large proportion of her citizens have traditionally grown and raised their own food and made it on very little money. Now, supermarkets are opening up and, no doubt, mean to do enough business to turn a profit. My conclusion, on a very superficial level, is that the self-sufficiency of the people of Bangladesh must be going down. Thus, even the poorest of Earth's inhabitants can, in principle, be blackmailed by denying them the use of money if they fail to comply with the expectations of those in power.
This is one of the key preconditions for the ability of the Beast successfully to demand worship from the marked. When your self-sufficiency has been lost, you'll do what is required so you can continue buying your food. Only when this piece of blackmail will work everywhere, even in the poorest countries where people used to be self-sufficient, can we expect to see Rev. 13:17 fulfilled world-wide. As long as its fulfillment is limited to richer parts, the Beast isn't here yet.
Read my free e-book Walkabout: The History of a Brief Century for a deeper analysis of the Mark of the Beast.

Dear Mr. Robert:
As today is Bastille Day, may I ask, why you dedicate your book to Marie Antoinette?
I appreciate the self-sustaining theme of your book and your BLOG.
I would love to use one of your statements as an essay prompt. On the bottom of page 217 through 218 the discussion on how "greed and covetousness are the very motors of the economy...energeticaly nurtured by...advertisement and entertainment..." I love the wording! How would my students react?
On page 223/228, about five paragraphs down, is an incomplete sentence: "Two cats named after Austrailia's famous outlaws who wanted to establish an independent Irish republic in Victoria in the 1870's"
I am up to page 239/286.
Robert! You've nailed it, of course! Walkabout illustrates this superbly!
Make sure ALL of the people of the Earth use the "money" that's centrally controlled - it can be denied whenever necessary then.
You would have lttle choice at the given "time" - choose man's "system", or God!
Dear Lady Hawk,
MarieAntoinette (no space) is my dear American wife, the inspiration for the character Laura in the book. She brought me to Christ and cheerfully followed me on a mad career around the world, leaving friends and homes behind many, many times. Without her there would be no book.
Please feel free to use Walkabout in all the creative ways you can think of! I meant it when I decided to give it away for free. If the book, or even a passage from it, can inspire someone to stop and think, I'll be happy.
The incomplete sentence, now. Bill Gates points them out all through my manuscript--you know that squiggly green line under what he thinks is bad grammar. I always look at his objections, and sometimes I follow his advice, sometimes he doesn't understand a correct sentence, and, then again, sometimes I decide to keep a sentence like this one for the effect it gives. I'll be keeping this one: the reader, hopefully, can visualize Gregory burying his nose in Laura's hair and going gaga over her feminine logic as he exclaims his incomplete sentence in his mind.
If you're interested in using the text, send me your e-mail address to hoge.robert@gmail.com when you've got to the end of it and all the resulting corrections are included, and I'll mail you a printable, copyable version of the manuscript!
Thank you again for keeping me in mind as you read!
Robert
