When you are growing up, there’s a lot to be learned and sometimes some stuff doesn’t lead to the most comfortable of realisations…
I had one of these about 3 years ago (and I’m 34)
After my awakening, that where I was going was not where I wanted to be headed, I started researching much about the world, politics, economics, business, money you name it, everything that I wasn’t interested in for 30 odd years suddenly I craved.
The last 3 years have been much like growing up. What I have found out through the information that I have been exposed to is that the world is not the place that I thought it was. Don’t get me wrong, I already knew it wasn’t the place of unicorns and rainbows that you are lead to believe it is when you are very young, but still I thought there was a ‘decency’ to everything that we did as a society.
As a member of the human race (and I am a member of the human race above any country, colour, affiliation, gang or political party), I assumed, as many of us do, that what our collective western societies were about are righteous expressions such as equality, freedom, understanding and places where we were all able to pursue our own personal happiness.
The truth of the matter is, the core of western society is about control, theft, fraud, coercion and duplicity.
Now, I am not having a go at anyone and this is not me ‘emotionally’ speaking, this is a very matter of fact point of view. If you are beginning to get a little hot under the collar, I ask you to look at everything from an unbiased level. I also urge you to research many aspects of your society, particularly the justice system (which is more a revenue generator) and the monetary system (which is control system rigged to steal wealth), you could also try the financial system and the performance of the credit reporting agencies or the regulatory agencies, how about the adherence to campaign promises of your elected leaders?
Big statements I know.
If all of this point of view is new to you or you feel I am speaking out of line, I urge you to start educating yourself by watching the video below, which is a speech by a highly respected economist, Mike Maloney, and what he explains to the audience is the true nature of the money in your pocket and what effects it is having on the living standards of the vast majority of populations.
I’m often asked, ‘what is it about Gold and Silver that you love so much?’. Mike explains it well, but the truth of the matter is, Gold and Silver are real money and are totally unmanipulatable by the powers that be. You could call G + S the money of the equal, or the free or the uncontrolled or of a fair society.
To have a fair society you must surely need a fair medium of exchange no? Sadly, what we currently have is neither.
I know this post has been a little doom and gloom and I am not here to propagate that sentiment as there are many things for us to rejoice for about where we live, but all I am saying is that for us to bridge the gap between what we believe we have, and what we actually have, we need to do a little reshuffle.
Much love to you all

Funny thing about being in Network Marketing is that so many people confuse it with a Pyramid Scheme. Have another look at the picture on the left; Why is it that no-one cares about the absolute farce that is our monetary system? If there ever was a Pyramid Scheme.. Fiat money would be, quite possibly, the biggest.
In order to pay your national debt from now on you need to borrow money in order to do it (this isn’t just aimed at the US, we had our own bout of QE to the tune of 200bn)
The criteria for a Pyramid Scheme is that there is no product, therefore no exchange of value takes place (Fiat Money has no real ‘value’). A Pyramid Scheme needs to increase itself to fuel itself. To be sustainable, a Pyramid Scheme needs to exponentially grow.. Much like the money supply of most western nations from this point on, just to be able to pay the interest on the debt.
Using fiat money (Dollars, Pounds, Euros) is comparable to selling your house for a box of paper napkins, they are just pieces of paper with printing on them, only made to look Official!
Anyway, I made a bit of a ranty video about what I think about it lol (Originally titled, ‘The Fiat Farce and How to Get Everyone to Think That You Are a Crazy Conspiracy Nut’). Please let me know what you think about it k?
You may or may not have heard about the incessant rioting that has been taking place in major UK cities over the last couple of days. Originally, what sprang to mind when the unrest began was that there was some moral highbrow reasoning to it, but as the reports came in, there appeared to be no real motive.
The turmoil sparked in Tottenham on saturday night over the shooting of a man by the Police (for which my heart goes out to the family, and is certainly a moral motive, given the reported circumstances), but behaviour that ensued would never win any public support.
Now, I’m going to frank here, I am not one for violence, but, I can only see it as necessary consequence in certain scenarios, albeit as a very, very last resort. But I draw the line at innocents becoming victims, that is one thing that I cannot bear (and yes, that includes the current imperial crusade of the middle east)
There have been many reports of burglaries, looting, muggings, you name it thoughout the country. My question is, how does that get any point across? But the real fact of the matter is, dependant on all kinds of different things, there is a huge possibility of getting caught in the crossfire in any situation. People have had their homes burned down, and family businesses looted and ransacked.
Getting caught in the crossfire doesn’t just happen with violence and rioting, it is happening as we speak with your finances…
For those of you who regularly read this blog, you will understand my enthusiasm for economics, and my penchant for pointing out the farce of paper money. My problem is though, how to illustrate the issues that are about to happen (and we see happening now). If you have not begun your financial education yet, I believe it is an absolute must to get on with it as fast as you can. If you are a baby boomer and have your pension denominated in paper assets (stocks, bonds etc). You are about to be robbed blind (My opinion, doesn’t constitute financial advice btw)
What I am trying to say is, don’t listen to any of my opinions, go and research the effect of paper money on a society (and what money printing will do). If you think times are tough now, it’s going to get worse, now is your very last chance to prepare. The value of the dollars in your pocket are going down at a rate of about 10% per year, the value of your stocks went down 6% last thurs, so if you invest your money in stocks just be careful.
By the looks of the US debt crisis, congress and the President have essentially just agreed to print more money. By reasoning of the downgrade of the credit rating of US debt, I doubt there will be so many private investors in the bond queue as there weren’t before (hence the quantitative easing). Ben Bernanke is going to have to disguise QE3, because it will be an even bigger signal that the US is in big trouble (to see the effects of QE on the average citizen watch Quantitative Easing and the Stealth Theft x3)
Shoot me an email if you want to know what I am doing to prepare myself @ [email protected]
Quantitative easing I fear will be coming to the foreground again in the next few months as the US QE2 season will be ending in June. What will be interesting is to see the effect it will have on the stock market. Many are predicting a downturn, until Mr Bernanke racks up the presses again.
I think we will also get an idea at how stong the precious metals pull actually is when the QE stops, will the prices fall too? Or will they continue to rise, confirming uncertainty and distrust of fiat currency.
I wanted to make the video below to really show how QE effects the taxpayer. I think that people just think that we have to pay for it once, because that is the ‘above board’ view, but in realism, we also give the original sum its value by means of inflation and loss of purchasing power of the currency we already have.
I’m no economic guru, but I have been studying this for the past year or so, so I hope it helps. The problem and reason why I find myself intrigued by this stuff is that I never realised how arsebuggered the ‘average Joe’ is on a regular basis by the ‘system’. So I am just trying to explain my understanding of it and hopefully provide some insight and solutions to it.
