We see this in the fall of America — Babylon could have been healed,but she was not(for her continued evil towards her slaves)

Greetings,

   Due to her rejection of God’s Last Apostle and their ever tricking and deceiving the people of God, the so-called American negro, Allah has declared through the mouth of His Apostles, Prophets, and Messengers that America must be taken and destroyed.

  She is modern Babylon….”After studying the history of the destruction of ancient Babylon under these two kings, we have a very good graphic picture pointing to a future people and country. The words, “We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed” do not say why she was not healed. Was there a possible chance for the Babylonians being forgiven because of the evils done to the Jews, the sacking of Jerusalem, the destruction of their temple, and the bringing out from her temples sacred vessels to be used for sport under Belshazzar’s reign? Could this crime of the Babylonians be forgiven? And if not forgiven, what does this teach us?

  Is not the history of ancient Babylon’s unforgiven evils a sign that a future enslavement of God’s people (the American so-called Negro) will not be forgiven? Yet, there may be a chance, as Babylon had, but they will not do that which God desires them to do so that He may pardon them and forgive them and prolong their time.

  The Revelations of John’s prophecies were that they repented not of their evil deeds but blasphemed the very name of God (Rev. 16:9). Therefore, when a man is guilty of a great evil done against the cause of God and His people, he cannot be forgiven unless he seeks forgiveness himself.

  We see this in the working of the fall of America today. I say fall, for most surely this is the divine fall of America, as it was of ancient Babylon for its evils done to the Jews.

  Even to this late date, America does not want to repent of her evil done to her Black slaves. “–pgs.131 & 132(tfoa)

  For her actions against His people, He has kindled confusion & collapse in their midst…” In the Bible, Rev. 18:4,5 in the Revelation of John, a people are warned to flee out of her. Here, we get the name Babylon to become a modern day people. The voice of an angel warns the people of a certain class to fly out of Babylon. “…Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities” (as being an evil people). So the angel notifies us saying, “Babylon the great is fallen.” Today, we see this same thing.

  There is no people to be warned to come out of another people that answers to the description of this warning so clearly as the so-called Negro in America of lost-found people of our own Black kind does.

  Here, the so-called Negro is warned to fly out of her and not to be partakers of her judgment — her torment. The angel says, so much evil has she done to thee Rev. 18:6, “Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.”–pg.142(tfoa)

  This is why you see the economic dam starting to break across America!

 Detroit bankruptcy ruling triggers calls for pension cuts across the US

Within days of a federal judge’s ruling in support of the Detroit bankruptcy, the devastating implications for the working class across the US are becoming apparent. States and cities throughout the country are citing the legal precedent of the Detroit ruling to attack public employee pensions, initiating a new stage in the assault on workers’ rights and living standards.

Politicians of both big business parties, media outlets and financial institutions have welcomed the decision by Judge Steven Rhodes, hailing its categorical assertion that federal courts can override state and local guarantees of public workers’ pensions.

The Michigan Constitution declares that accrued pension benefits are “contractual obligations” that “shall not be diminished or impaired.” Many other state constitutions have similar provisions. But Rhodes brushed aside the Michigan Constitution in order to open the door to the gutting of pensions.

On Thursday, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed into law a pension bill that slashes benefits for retired as well as active state employees, in violation of the Illinois Constitution’s prohibition of such pension cuts. Described as a “landmark” law, the Illinois measure will raise the retirement age for younger workers by eight years, slash cost-of-living adjustments for current pensioners, and transfer many workers from state-paid pension plans to employee-paid 401(k) plans.

The same day, the New York Times published a front-page article highlighting the plans of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, President Obama’s former chief of staff, to gut the pensions of municipal employees in the third largest US city. The newspaper wrote that Emanuel was now “armed not only with the state vote but also with a federal judge’s ruling…to formally send Detroit into bankruptcy.”

The Washington Post published an editorial Thursday hailing the Detroit ruling. The newspaper wrote enthusiastically that the ruling would allow “mayors and city councils in distressed municipalities [to] wield enhanced bargaining power in their negotiations with public-sector unions. Help us limit unfunded-pension liabilities, they can argue, or you may find yourself dealing with a bankruptcy judge some day.”

Wall Street commentators, rating agencies and the financial press welcomed the ruling as a boon to big investors, who have entangled distressed cities in trillions of dollars of bond obligations, credit default swaps and similar financial deals. Mark Palmer of BTIG Research, which serves large municipal bond holders and their insurers, told Forbes magazine: “The fact that the judge in the Detroit bankruptcy case ruled that pensions are not sacrosanct, and they can be cut, translates into potentially higher recoveries for bondholders in future bankruptcies.”

The ruling was particularly welcomed in California, where city officials and lawyers are overseeing bankruptcy cases in Stockton, San Bernardino and Vallejo. As the Sacramento Bee wrote, “[T]he Detroit ruling was a milestone. Experts long suspected that cities could use bankruptcy to force reductions in their pension expenses, but until now they’ve never had a court’s blessing.”

Judge Rhodes’s use of the US Constitution’s Supremacy Clause to override state protections for public workers illustrates the turn by the American ruling class to outright criminality in its drive to impoverish the working class. From the Civil War to the Civil Rights era, this clause was often used by the federal government as a legal lever to override reactionary state laws and expand democratic rights.

Today, it is employed for the opposite purpose—to use the power of the federal government to scuttle democratic provisions of state laws. In this sense, Rhodes’s ruling echoes the infamous Bush v. Gore Supreme Court ruling that overrode the Florida Supreme Court, halted vote counting in the state, and handed the 2000 presidential election to the Republican candidate, who had lost the popular vote.

The current federal assault on democratic rights and working-class living standards is being directed by a Democratic president. The Obama administration has from the outset been intimately involved in the conspiracy to use the federal bankruptcy courts to attack pensions and sell off public assets. It intervened in Judge Rhodes’s court to oppose suits by pension funds and retirees challenging the bankruptcy filing, giving its support to the state-appointed emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, who is functioning as a front man for the city’s financial creditors…More Here
