You’ve seen all of the ads on television where companies are trying to sell you gold and silver, and for good reasons; reasons you need to learn about if you want to protect your income, protect your wealth, and build real assets in the months and years ahead.
We specialize in educating people about areas of the banking and financial system that you were never taught in school; things that most of the politicians in DC and all of the investment bankers on Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, the Central Banks, and those ‘brick-and-mortar’ FDIC local banks you do business with don’t want you to know. There are very valid reasons for this; reasons that are imperative for you to know. We take that information and show you how to exploit it and capitalize from it, just like we do.
Unlike stocks, bonds, treasury certificates, certificates of deposit, ETF’s, and many other forms of ‘paper money’ that can be devalued and are often manipulated, physical gold and silver assets are REAL MONEY that are not typically subject to the usual nuances and manipulations of the paper markets. Gold and silver are the easiest and safest ways to invest in yourself while providing the best insurance to hedge against inflation. Did you know that gold and silver has cumulatively has out-performed the DOW, the S&P 500, AND the NASDAQ for the last 21 years? And better still, if purchased and transacted correctly, you can legally avoid capital gains if or when you decide to sell some of it.

Politics affects everything; especially as it relates to your ability to make money.
Whether you want to except the following statement or not, everyone in this still great country of ours in many respects has been indoctrinated since birth. It’s not your fault nor your parents; it is by design... Reasons that will be revealed to you and probably astound you. As it relates to money and monetary policies, we are all pawns in the Federal Reserve’s chess game of ‘Central Banking’. Our prime directive here is to teach you some of these things in an effort that you will take this knowledge, learn from it, and hopefully profit from it.
The Federal Reserve System, the banks under it, and ‘how’ it all works it is indeed a Ponzi scheme. That may be a controversial statement to some, but we can prove it to you. Their failed monetary policies and their business model that utilizes ‘fractional reserve banking’ is a ticking financial time-bomb that is perilously close to imploding on itself. The higher the Dow goes, the closer we are to the ‘everything-bubble’ popping. It’s no longer a matter of ‘if’ it’s going to pop, but ‘when’. When it does, what do you think will happen to ALL of your US-backed paper assets?
It doesn’t take a degree in economics to see the volatility in the markets and that valuations are just too high. The cycle swings today are more frequent and more extreme in their fluxuations than in 2008. There WILL BE another massive correction (or crash), worse than what happened in 2008. But this time it will be worse due to how much more inner-connected the Central Banks and depository banks are today than ever before. And once again, just as in 2008, who do you think will still be standing in the end? If you said the banks, you would be partly right. Remember what happened to Bear-Sterns in April of 2008? Remember what happened to Lehman Brothers just months later? It’s already starting to happen again. So don’t kid yourself... If you think your local banker or portfolio manager from one of those big brokerage houses is your friend, stop kidding yourself. To quote the infamous words of Tsun Tsu, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”.
We all took it in the shorts to some degree back on September 29th, 2008 when the markets crashed and the entire financial system literally came within hours from completely melting down. If you had a 401-K, on average it lost 41% of its value in one single afternoon. Now let that set in a minute...
Back then, the Wall Street banksters pushed the envelope of investment leveraging to the brink of the abyss through complicated esoteric financial products with obtuse sounding names like Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS’s), Credit Default Swaps (CDS’s), and Credit Debt Obligations (CDO’s). These are some of the products that now make up the over $160 Trillion dollar derivatives market. That’s more than the entire GDP of most nations worldwide combined! And ALL OF IT is based on the ‘credit and faith’ [sic] of the US dollar.

Ultimately, you can thank the original banksters that surreptitiously and clandestinely created the Federal Reserve System on Jekyll Island in 1910 that would later become law in 1913 under the auspices of the Federal Reserve Act. Over these last 108 years, The Federal Reserve has presided over dozens of depressions, recessions, corrections, and market crashes; the very things that the Federal Reserve was ostensibly set up to prevent in the first place! As a result of the banking systems derivatives antics since 1999, (that should be illegal in our opinion), in the crash of 2008 most lost something; some lost everything. And to this day, NONE of those banksters have gone to jail. To add salt to the wound, they even got bonuses!
Our politicians keep kicking the proverbial can of deficit spending down the road. And to what end? When will their house of cards finally implode? Add to this the Federal Reserve keeps printing more ‘funny money’ infinitum that is backed by absolutely nothing of intrinsic value. More of that stuff that they call QE, or ‘Quantitative Easing’. Money that you and I are still paying for through egregious taxation and more inflation. It’s about to get much worse with our new President’s plan that will add another $1.9 Trillion to our already unsustainable debt, +/- 90% of which will go to the Democrats ‘pork projects’ and reward the bad behavior of failed Democratic-run cities. You would think that PPP money would go to those who really need it. But that too was a lie... Can you say power-grab? And politicians wonder why we despise them!
On top of that $1.9T, now they are trying to push through yet another ‘stimulus’ package that will exceed $2T for ‘infrastructure’. But wait! Now they are calling it ‘human infrastructure’ [sic] which they keep redefining every day. And if you try to call them out on it, you’re called a racist. Really? Where is all of this money coming from? It’s coming from you and me in the form of more taxes and further inflation. When it all back-fires, it will quickly turn into hyper-inflation. But before that, we might see a short period of deflation while they try to sort it all out. I call this the ‘Quiet Scream before the Big Storm’.
I’ve said it many times since 2009... They have no more tools left in their toolbox to try to fix their Ponzi system. Go search CBS’s “60 Minutes” on You Tube from April 4th, 2021 when Scott Pelley sat down with current Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and listen to that interview. Then compare it to what you’re learning right now. As I often say, ‘the math never lies; people do’.
Janet Yellen (current Head of the Treasury and former Federal Reserve Chair) most recent remarks coupled with Jerome Powell (current Fed Chair) recent remarks tell it all. The current corporate tax rate is 21%. Under Biden’s new proposed plan, that rate will grow to 28% to 31%. Add to this the new proposed wealth tax and estate tax. On the personal tax front, Biden recently stated that if you make under $400K a year, that these new taxes won’t affect you. What he didn’t say was that that number reflects couples; not individuals, effectively meaning that if you make over $200K a year, you’re screwed. It never ends...
When the government does things like this, there is no longer any incentive for investors to invest in small business or for employers to produce more. These things force small companies to go out-of-business and large businesses to go overseas. Everyone in the food chain gets hurt.
Congress cannot tax us into prosperity, nor can you keep operating under deficit spending policies. When the debt on the interest exceeds the principle (which is very close to happening), what do you think will happen to our dollar and overall economy? None of this has ever worked and never will. And don’t get me started on our debt to China... The financial system is highly unstable and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies are unsustainable. No fiat currency ever created in the history of the world has ever lasted for more than 50 years. President Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard in August of 1971. It is now 2021... Do the math.
In the end, just as for the last two-thousand years, ALL fiat currencies have always failed. And to that end, the only true medium of exchange that has remained when the dust settled, has been physical gold and silver. To quote a variation on a popular credit card theme: “So what’s in your wallet?” ... I rest my case.
