As a reminder, the Health Meter goes from 1 being the lowest and most dangerous, to 10 being the highest and healthiest. The Trend Arrow is for a quick reference rating with UP for getting healthier, and DOWN for getting worse. These will be followed by a commentary to explain the ratings. </span></p>

<div><span style="font-family: Helvetica,Calibri,Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 11pt;">Our economy may have never been in a weaker and more vulnerable state than it is now, but in this state it has been revealed just how remarkably strong and resilient it is. In spite of all the blows that it has taken and the incomprehensible burdens our government has put on it, it is still chugging along. Even so, we should not presume that this will last. It is vulnerable and little is being done to lead it to a more stable and safe place. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Helvetica,Calibri,Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 11pt;">To a large degree, our economy is subject to the faith or doubts people have about it, evidenced by how just a little news can cause large swings in the stock market. This should cause all of us pause. Why is it so fragile? Why does it not have enough substance to stand on its own merit and strength? </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Helvetica,Calibri,Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 11pt;">You can have an economy without a government, but you cannot have a government without an economy. This is the crisis that could most quickly destroy not only the American Republic but also Western civilization. This is why the economy is the main target of those who would destroy America and Western civilization. <strong><a href="http://www.theoakinitiative.org/special-bulletin-11" target="_blank" style="color: blue; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">...Read</a></strong></span></div>
