And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for …

In the end I believe that they are willing to collapse the credit market, crash the stock markets and collapse the value of the U.S. Dollar on the Forex rather than see Trump make any substantive change. Be ready for the events that will follow January 20th, 2017. There …
