My Mission

My Mission by Perry Jones

I am on a mission to change the world and I can do it – one person at a time.

My objective is to be a cross between Billy Graham and Tony Robbins.

My goal is to help people who don’t know God to come to know God by understanding that God has a very specific and well-defined purpose for their life. And, if they are out of work, struggling financially or if they are not happy and filled with joy, they are not living that purpose. And then I want to help people discover what that purpose is.

For Christians and for those who believe they know the Lord, I want to tell people that if their life is not filled with bright, positive and empowering relationships, that if they are not free from overeating, addictions, alcohol, anger, fear or poverty, if their heart is not filled with joy and happiness, that they are living in sin and not doing what God has planned for them to do. It is my belief that these are the people to whom Jesus will say; “Be gone from me, I never knew you.”

I want to teach the Good News of the Kingdom of God. And I want to teach people that by living the life God has planned for you, you will build the Kingdom in your life, moment by moment and brick by brick and that day by day, that kingdom will manifest itself more and more in your life.

It is my belief that by all of us working individually to build the kingdom of God in our lives, we help to build the Kingdom of God on Earth. And that as the number of people doing this increases and reaches a critical stage, Jesus will return to Earth.

Billy Graham was a great evangelist who brought millions of people to God. Tony Robbins has helped millions of people find the strength within themselves to turn their lives around and achieve the success they had only dreamed of. I want to combine these two works so that millions of people can come to know Jesus and help build Christ’s Kingdom through the process of rebuilding their lives. I want people to understand that there is no life too damaged, no dream too shattered, no problem so overwhelming, that Jesus can’t fix it and He will, if they but turn their lives over to Him.

This is the latter rain. Help me to bring the rain. Help me to take shattered lives and rebuild them, help me to take lukewarm Christians and light a fire in their souls, help me to bring the rain to those who have never received a drop of water in their lives. Help me to restore Christian principles to a shattered America. Help me to heal broken hearts and desperate lives. Help me to reach out to the homeless, the helpless and the unemployed and show them there is hope, there is help and there is possibility. Help me to bring hope where there was only fear, to bring joy where there was only anger, to bring peace where there was only violence and to bring Jesus where He was unknown.

Will you do me a favor? The training required to bring hope to the hopeless, help to those who have given up on help and love to those who have only known fear will cost $25,000. Help me. Please donate as much as you can, if you can donate $20 or more that would be great but even if you can only give a few dollars or a dollar or two, that would be a big help.

Please dig deep and help me. Help me to create the latter rain. Help me to bring peace to broken hearts, help me to bring hope to shattered lives, help me to bring a chance to moms and dads who have been out of work for months and have nearly given up, help me to bring a helping hand to families facing overwhelming odds and the chance of happiness to faces now stained with tears.
Please give $20, $50, $100, $1000 or even $25,000. But if all you can give is a dollar or two, every bit counts, every bit helps and I would be extremely thankful for anything you can give and for any prayers you pray.

Thank you for your help. You can also help by buying one of my books. There are several books I have written. You can click on the link to go to my book page. Please donate as much as you can or buy a book. And please, please, please pray that my endeavor will be God-driven and successful. I can use all the prayers I can get.

Thank you.

The Solution That Will Save the Nation

by Perry Jones

It seems obvious to me that we as a nation, and we as a people, do not have the answers to the questions that divide us; we cannot even agree on the questions. It seems obvious to me that neither the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators, nor the Democrats, nor the Republicans, nor the Tea Party, nor the independents, nor Obama, nor Newt, nor Ron Paul, nor Romney have the solutions that are best for this nation.

Further, it seems obvious to me that although we all agree that the path we are on is the wrong path for this nation to travel, none of us can agree on what the right path is.

Therefore, I think we should forget about politics and about all the problems this nation has. We are not going to agree on the answers, we are not even going to agree on the questions.

No one knows who the best candidate is, but God knows. No one knows what the best solutions are for our nation, but God knows. No one knows how to heal the polarization between the parties or in Congress or how to unite us when so much seems to divide us. I don't have the answers to these questions nor does anyone, but God does.

We need to place all our concerns, questions and worries at the feet of God. Then we need to get down on our knees and pray. God has promised that if we are sincere and earnest and bring our concerns to him, he will meet us halfway and provide the answers to our prayers, the solutions to our questions and relief from our worries. He will dry our tears, remove our fear and bring us through safely to a new, brighter, better day.

We need to stop the bickering and ask God to show us the candidate who will be best for our nation.

We need to stop arguing amongst ourselves and ask God to show us what solutions are best for our country.

We need to stop blaming each other and ask God to show us what each of us must do personally to help God bring each of us and this nation back to Him.

Finally, we need to stop in our haste and the busyness of our every day lives and enjoy the life that God has ordained for us. We need to stop wondering what to do and ask God to show us what must be done to restore those things that made this nation great and made us a light to all nations.

We don't know the answers, we don't know the solutions, but God does, and He will show us what they are, if we but honestly, humbly and sincerely ask.

Building Wealth, Making Money

Beginning with industrialization, governments sought to expand their economies by replacing the long-term and slow growth modality of capital creation with the faster and more expedient means of debt creation. But as economies expanded, debt ballooned. Over time, as a nation's market expanded at a fairly steady pace (with the occasional downturn and setback), ensuring a commensurate increase in incomes, apparent wealth and living standards, the total debt increased at an exponential rate exceeding by many magnitudes the growth rate of the economy. As a result, at any major downturn and national or regional setback, nations businesses and individuals are left foundering in a sea of debt.

There can be no "fix" to an economy based on debt nor for a business' or individual's debt load unless the "fix" originates from the capital creation side of economic philosophy. However, as capital creation is slow and uneven this solution is unpalatable to nations and peoples accustomed to quick repairs, fast connections and instant gratification. To be told that a solution to debt can be guaranteed, but only after 10 or 20 years of hard work, with very little to show for the first half of that period, people and nations may opt for the more expedient solution of expanding their debt. Although this solution seems to solve the immediate debt, the existing debt doesn't go away, it is merely subsumed within the new debt. This seems to solve the immediate debt situation but in fact only moves the problem to a future date.

There is no solution to a debt crisis using the current model of debt creation. Under this model, current debt never goes away, it is only added to future debt. The only solution to a crisis of debt is debt that provides periodic income in excess of the periodic payments necessary to acquire that debt. Debt based on this new model is based on tangible assets, i.e. hard, fixed assets which cannot be easily dismantled or destroyed.

There are only four asset classes of production. These four classes are land (or real estate), labor, capital (cash), and intellectual property. In the modern era, each of these asset classes bears varying degrees of mortality risk based on the further distinction (subcategory) of that asset category, its location on the planet, competition and the market from which its revenues are derived. No place is absolutely safe; fires, earthquakes floods and storms can destroy a factory, warehouse or subdivision just as surely as war, a terrorist attack, competition or market decline.

Investment in debt is never a safe option. Debt is a soft asset, an intangible or paper asset which can lose value or be destroyed as easily as it was created. Whether the soft asset is student loans, mortgages, commodities, foreign exchange or highly leveraged derivatives, there is no assurance that any investment made today will be secure tomorrow. The characteristic of a soft asset which makes it easy to generate high returns over short periods of time is leverage. However, this leverage of return also leverages the degree of risk. The farther removed an asset is from a hard asset to a soft asset, the more inherent the risk built into the structure of that asset. Although this risk also leverages the potential rate of return, the increase in the return is simply not worth the increased risk as the current real estate crisis, worldwide currency crises, the slow decline of the dollar and international governmental debt crises all attest.

Income generating assets exist in a variety of forms and their return can exceed that of the more familiar debt model based asset vehicles. One of the most popular forms is stock ownership. Although this seems a contradiction in the capital creation concept, it is in fact a core concept; buy assets, not debt, buy ownership, not a promise. With stock, you are buying a piece of the company; when buying a student loan package, you are buying a promise.

Equity in a commercial enterprise is perhaps the easiest, least expensive and lowest risk means of initiating a capital creation strategy. To assure the proper perspective on equity purchases, an investor must view the asset for the periodic income it generates, not the projected cash-in value of the asset at some indeterminate time in the future. Each investor must view the asset as one that they will hold forever and then pass onto their heirs because of the income it generates (and additionally the value it adds to their estate). No investor should view such an asset as one they plan to sell in 10, 20, 30 or 40 years.

Indivduals, businesses and governments must all adopt the long view. This long view rests on a foundation of capital creation. Capital creation is the acquisition of assets which produce periodic, current income in excess of the payments required to purchase that asset.

Space Exploration, NASA, the USA & the Mission to Mars

I jumped into a recent conversation online which took the position that money invested into NASA and space exploration was a waste and could be better spent elsewhere at this time. My reply:

"The return on investment from NASA and space exploration has rivaled or exceeded that of many private investment vehicles. But this is because the gov was wise enough to allow the contractors to use the discoveries extracted from space research as they saw fit. I grew up when all of America hovered around a grainy black and white picture a few inches across to watch Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the moon. It was a very exciting time. The greatness and nobility of America is when we seek the dream - and then pull together to do it. The power of America lies in the ambition of our ideals, not in the fears of our hearts. The strength of America is when we dare the impossible and then do what it takes to get it done, not in worrying about the minutiae of roi or cash flow. The strength of the American people is the imagination to dream big and then stand on the moon. Mars is next. And we should do it.

America should put a crew on Mars because - as John Kennedy said, "not because it will be easy, but because it will be hard," we should put a crew on Mars not because it is something China would do, but because it is something America would do. America should put a crew on Mars not for any anticipated returns, but for the achievement of an ideal; America should put a crew on Mars not because it is what any nation would do, but because it is something that only a great nation can do, and America is a great nation. When we plant that American flag on the red sands of Mars, we do it not to prove to our enemies that we are a powerful nation that must be feared; we do it not to show to our friends and allies that we are a great nation, nor do we plant a flag on Mars to expand our territory or defend our status, no, we plant the red, white and blue on a far distant planet to prove that impossible dreams are possible to a people that dream big."

America, Down and Out?

Millions are out of work; the real unemployment rate stands at somewhat above 16%. Thousands of demonstrators occupy city streets and parks while unions throw in their support for the demonstrators. Congress is paralyzed into immobility while the people seem confused, divided and rooted in chaos. America is facing dark days; our economy teeters on the edge of a cliff and foreclosures continue forcing American families into the streets and shelters and to live with relatives and friends. Things could be better.

The cafe is better when it is full of happy customers instead of being cold and dark.

The store next door is better when the cash registers are ringing up sales instead of having a sign on a boarded up window that says "Out of Business."

The downtown company is better when it has chairs full of productive employees instead of a room full of empty seats.

America may be facing a challenge, but we haven't chosen defeat.

We may have fallen, but we haven't given up.

And although we may have fumbled the ball, we haven't quit the game.

We may have millions of people out of work, but there is plenty of work to do.

The question is not whether there is work, the question is will the Federal Government and big companies and the big banks with their big bailouts get out of the way so we can do what needs to be done? We aren't looking for a bailout or a handout, we just need you to get out of the way.

Congress may be as paralyzed and as frozen as a cow patty in a Minnesota winter, but the people are alive and kicking.

We may not agree on what direction we should take, but we do agree that the direction we have been on is wrong.

We may not see eye to eye on everything we must do, but that does not mean we can't stand shoulder to shoulder to do something.

To the outside world, and even to ourselves, it may appear that we are divided, confused and stuck in chaos. It may look like a dirty, grimy mess, but this is America and our history proves to us that this is simply how Americans get things done.

Things don't get done in Washington D.C. or in the halls of Congress or in Times Square or on Wall Street. Things get done over the kitchen table, things get done in cafes and diners, things get done in the hallways and around the water coolers of every great place in America. Things get done where it counts, not in places where high priced lawyers pulling million dollar salaries debate over where to place a comma; things get done in the Mean Streets where we're trying to decide how best to pour the cement.

This is America, we have faced dark times before, we have struggled under recession and depression and near relentless enemies. We have faced famine and flood and natural disaster of every kind. We have seen bridges fail and we have rebuilt them, we have seen levees break and we have reconstructed them, we have experienced tragedy that has brought us to our knees and we have grieved but we didn't stay down. We wept together, we embraced our neighbors, we have helped each other back up, we have pulled together and gotten back to work. We were not down and out, we were getting ready.

We are Americans and this is America. Things may appear dark and bleak right now, it may appear as if we are in the midst of a storm, but better days are coming.

We are Americans, this is America; we are proud and we are strong and we are coming back, bigger, better, bolder, prouder and stronger than ever. We are not bent over under the weight of grief and despair, we are lacing our boots. We are not clenching our fists in hopelessness, we are putting on our gloves. We may be at the bottom of the count, but we are at the top of our game. We may be bruised, bloodied and battered, but like Rocky, we won't quit until we've won!

America is here, we are coming and we are coming out swinging! The world thinks they have us where they want us, but they don't know us; we can't be held back, we don't give up and we don't quit. When things are falling apart, Americans are pulling together; when things seem the darkest, Americans see the coming of dawn; when the rest of the world has given up, Americans are getting ready.

We are Americans, we are coming together to get things done because that's what needs to be done. We may not see eye to eye but we can stand shoulder to shoulder, we are not down and out, we are just getting ready. America is coming, we are coming back big, bold, proud and strong. We are going to be bigger, better and bolder than ever before. We are not down and out, we are on the rebound, and the rest of the world had better step aside because America is stepping up!

A Letter from Bill Haslam - Governor of Tennessee

Dear Friend,

Thank you for writing to me and sharing your concerns. I appreciate hearing from you.

After careful review of your letter, I have determined that the Department of Safety and Homeland Security is the appropriate agency to address this type of inquiry, and therefore have forwarded your letter to Commissioner Bill Gibbons's office for consideration.

My administration is committed to providing effective and efficient service. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact my office at 615-253-6913.

Again, thank you for taking the time to write. I forward to working with you and all Tennesseans to make our great state an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.

Warmest regards,

Bill Haslam

cc: Commissioner Bill Gibbons, Department of Safety and Homeland Security


****************************

Governor Haslam was responding to my email to him in which I stated that the TSA roadblocks along Tennessee highways was unconstitutional, a violation of 4th Amendment rights and tantamount to Nazism.

"National Security" or Repression?

‎"National Security" is dependent upon securing the liberties and freedoms of the individual. Any action which reduces freedom and the unalienable God-given rights of the individual is repression. The federal government is not advancing security, it is promoting totalitarianism.

Revealed - The Capitalist Network that Runs the World

The idea that a few bankers control a large chunk of the global economy might not seem like news to New York's Occupy Wall Street movement and protesters elsewhere. But the study, by a trio of complex systems theorists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, is the first to go beyond ideology to empirically identify such a network of power. It combines the mathematics long used to model natural systems with comprehensive corporate data to map ownership among the world's transnational corporations (TNCs).

"Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it's conspiracy theories or free-market," says James Glattfelder. "Our analysis is reality-based."

"Capp's Law" & Obamacare

"Capp's Law" is a dangerous plan that taxes investments, retirement income and provides for a medical commission that will make decisions regarding Your health care. This law was inserted into the Obama Health Care plan. The health care plan and "Capp's Law" must be eliminated.

For more info please review this presentation at Stansberry Research:

10-15-1 Tax Plan

In my book, I outline a 10-15-1 tax plan, (page 67). This would be a flat tax, eliminating most other federal taxes and eliminating most deductions and tax credits. This calls for a 10% income tax, 15% corporate tax on businesses earning 1 million dollars or more per year, 15% income tax on individuals earning 1 million dollars or more per year and a 1% national sales tax. Most other federal taxes would be dropped. Deductions and tax credits would still apply for real estate, mortgage interest, business investments & equipment, and several other areas as determined. Capital gains taxes would be eliminated. People earning 1.3 times the national poverty level or less would not be taxed.

Investing in the Future: A Policy For The Next President

This nation is on the wrong path. We know it, you know it. No one seems to have any answers; Congress is in gridlock, the President is unable to affect a solution, America is in trouble.

Our problems seem so deep, so intractable, so embedded into the fabric of our nation that no workable solution seems possible.

In "Investing In The Future," Mr. Jones presents a series of realistic, practical and workable solutions we can begin to implement today. We can fix what is wrong, we can make things right, we can get America working again. Mr. Jones shows us how.
