The following report is from the Trends Journal:
More and more, we seem to now be living in times and circumstances that our Founders warned us about. In 1792 Congress first established one of the principles of our judiciary system: in order to guarantee the public’s trust in the courts and the impartiality of judges, no one should be a judge of his or her own cause.
As Shakespeare said of Caesar’s wife, judges should be above suspicion; if involved in a case where there is even a whiff of impropriety, an ethical judge should recuse him- or herself.
Alas, that was then and this is now. The Wall St. Journal, on 30 September, reported on its own investigation which revealed that, between 2010 and 2018, 131 federal judges (129 federal district judges and 2 federal appellate judges) had broken the law by failing to recuse themselves from 685 lawsuits involving companies in which they or their families had financial interests.
The judges had been appointed by every president from Lyndon Johnson to Donald Trump.
The investigation uncovered 61 judges or their families who not only held stocks in companies appearing before the judge but who also traded those stocks while the cases were active. This comes on the heels of revelations of similar conflicts of interest at the Federal Reserve; see “FED ETHICS? FU!” (21 Sep 2021).
The judges offered an assortment of excuses. Some blamed court clerks or search engine software that failed to adequately screen for conflicts. One judge who ruled on a trademark case involving Ford Motor Co. claimed she hadn’t realized that her husband possessing Ford stock in his retirement account should have disqualified her. Her comment? “I regret my misunderstanding, but I assure you it was an honest one.”
In another case, a Colorado couple asked a judge to block a Comcast subsidiary from accessing their property to lay fiber-optic cable, claiming that company workers had bullied and threatened them, terrorized their children and even injured their dog. The judge acceded to Comcast’s wishes and sent the case back to state court. When it was revealed that he or his family owned Comcast stock and that he should have recused himself, the judge said, “I dropped the ball. Thank you for helping me stay on my toes the way I’m supposed to.”
The Judicial Conference of the U.S. is the federal courts’ policy-making body; its Committee on Codes of Conduct wrote a letter reminding one judge that the ethics code for federal judges “requires recusal when a judge has a financial conflict, regardless of the substance of the judge’s actual involvement in the case.”
TREND FORECAST: The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, however, actually seemed to bristle at the WSJ’s revelations, saying the WSJ’s report “on incidents where conflicts inadvertently were not identified before a case was resolved or transferred is troubling, and the Administrative Office is carefully reviewing the matter.”
The entire government system is rife with unethical criminality. We have been reporting on Federal Reserve presidents making mulita-million dollar bets, knowing before anyone else the next Fed moves that will direct the markets.
On Sunday, from millions of leaked documents, the Pandora’s Papers reported how politicians, public officials, Banksters, celebrities, power brokers, big business tycoons, etc., have been raking in hundreds of millions, buying mansions across the globe and paying no taxes. This, at a time when We the Little People have been declared “unessential” and hundreds of millions— if not billions—of lives and livelihoods destroyed to fight the COVID War.
And to further illustrate the levels of corruption, last week we ran these two articles, “AMERICA’S RICHEST 400 FAMILIES PAY A TINY PERCENT OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX COMPARED TO THE WORKING CLASS” and “WORLD’S LARGEST ADVERTISING GROUP A CRIME GROUP.”
Thus, our “OFF WITH THEIR HEADS 2.0” trend from December 2019, forecasting the global rise in anger directed at the 1 percent, was already spreading globally prior to the 2020 COVID War.
The great wealth gap followed by the destruction of small businesses by politicians who launched the COVID War while allowing the Bigs to get bigger will be a key platform in the formation of new political parties across the globe. As the gap between the rich and poor widens, so, too, will the animosity between the “haves” and “have nots.”
Gated communities will increase in popularity and more private security will be hired by the haves who will be gangland targets.

A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
Proverbs 17:23, 29:4
[9] But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. [10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.1 Timothy 6:9-10
I am not surprised in the slightest, and you should not be either. And this is why I tell people to not waste your time voting. I am not against the act of voting, but the game is rigged from top to bottom, and it means nothing anymore when voting for these politicians. They work only for themselves and for the banks, private interest groups, hedge funds, corporations, etc. Moreover, the Pandora Papers should not shock you either, to just the insane amount of wealth that has been hidden and stolen away.

“It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it!” And yet, no one seems to notice, and no one seems to care. As a matter of fact, the same ignorant and blind masses are the same ones screaming from the rooftops saying how we need to vote – to “let your voice be heard.” -I am laughing at the thought of it.
Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.
Proverbs 20:23
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

The American government has a long time ago been taken over, if it was ever really by the people. The entire thing is criminal. What part of the founding documents have they not broken? The monetary system is a means of control, as is the just-us system.
Get right with God, prep, and prepare for war. It has already started, and when the beard of the “bread and circuses” fails, blood will run. Family and neighbors will turn on you and turn you in. I hate to be grim, but I have known people from countries that failed.

And New South Wales has an openly Opus Dei bankster, economic reformer heading them now.
What a picture of the interlocking pieces of the antichrist world system….and 1 Peter 4-5, 2 Peter 2-3. For these are nations who had the word of God, even as the Jews, ….in the King James Bible, were blessed with liberty & honest prosperity, and who took & sent out the word to all the world, yet whose ardor cooled, who presumed on the Lord’s grace & goodness, & fell into the grossest forms of idolatry, sin, & corruption.
And there has arose a generation that knows not the Lord, nor their heritage. As Rehoboam’s generation. As Manasseh’s. As the Boomers, and before them, laying the ground: the revisers & the pagan evolutionists, the progressives who forgot the source of all blessing, and the attending responsibility & commission of every Christian indeed.
Judges 2:10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
Having the completed scriptures & the mystery of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ complete & revealed: the blessed hope……we are even more accountable & without excuse in this age who neglect so great a salvation & who have done despite…
Hebrews 10:29 -31 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Again, I think of Manasseh. Sorry example, even as Lot, yet who repented in truth & knew the mercy of the Lord. Refer to Daniel, young people, for your scriptural guide going forward. And, not to foolish, wicked Jeconiah from whom the Lord removed even the reference to his name & called Coniah. The man who received the burial of an ass similar to the end of Jezebel, and lower even…more abased & disgraced…than the burial of Ahab who was yet shown the dignity & honor of one created in the image of God in his burial. We must be praying as Daniel in chapter 9, as one shocked & sobered by the events of a wicked generation under judgment, & the prophetic revelation God showed him in Daniel 7&8 (and harmonizing with Matthew 24 etc, & the Revelation)…..identifying not with the proud or blaming God as they, but resisting the root of bitterness, going on to fight with & in the name of the Lord, identifying with our Lord & with needy sinners & the whosoever will’s yet to come.
The hidden 7,000 which the Lord had whose knees had not bowed to Baal….were instrumental in the battle against the Assyrian, Ben-Hadad. Even under wicked Ahab. 1 Kings 19&20 KJB. We of this age have our part in that somehow, even as those coming Jews sealed in Revelation 7. Lord, please grant us wisdom & discernment with resolve & courage, keeping…..or redeeming…. us from that number of the many whose love grows cold and/or who are in danger of losing even natural affection as the furnace of affliction heats up. Do we see the coming of the Ezekiel 38 war?
