Is There A Conspiracy For Your Money?

Recently (circa October 2010) the manager of the world’s largest private bond fund, also referred to as the Bond King, said that the Quantitative Easing, and various other efforts of the Federal Reserve, essentially represent the biggest Ponzi scheme on the planet and that investors should own fewer bonds.


In addition, over the past 10 years, as a result of excessive money printing leading to a runaway supply of money, we have seen an unprecedented bursting of bubble after bubble … first the tech industry bubble burst, then the telecom industry bubble burst, the housing industry bubble burst, and finally the investment banking industry (including AIG) bubble burst exposing the overall Global Financial Crisis.


With all the financial engineering enabling these activities, it has been estimated that the exposure (which is default insurance) associated with the derivatives, credit default swaps, and mortgage back securities is 50X the GDP of all the economies in the world. There would not be enough money on the planet to pay the insurance claims if only a small part of the underlying collateral such as mortgages and government, or sovereign, (both state and Federal) bonds were to default.

The fact is that the fate of Washington (including the Federal Reserve Bank) and Wall Street (including large Money Center Banks, the Stock, Commodities, & Futures Exchanges, and the Securities Industry) are more interconnected than ever.


Unfettered deficit spending, gluttonous consumption, and government’s control of the economy, and the financial system, has ravaged the business environment, devastated consumer confidence, and pushed the global economy to the brink.


Once again, America’s experiment with a central banking system, and fiat currency, has run its course. In all of the history of money, a fiat currency has never worked. There is a 100% failure rate with fiat currency.


This has lead to an epic financial bubble that is plaguing the United States and will soon bring an end to this once great empire nation.


The question becomes how to protect your financial well-being as the American empire collapses upon itself.


Since modern day bank robbers no longer wear masks, nor do they carry guns, what you know about money will determine whether you become rich or whether you become poor. There will no longer be a middle of the road approach; the middle class is about to be wiped out. Those waiting for the OLD economy to come back will risk losing everything.


The biggest risk in the years ahead is being financially uneducated because the financial industry is “cleverly” exploiting those who are uneducated about money. Since the rules of money have changed forever, it is best to learn about the NEW rules of money in the NEW economy.


As such, it is only natural that a large number of people are quickly undertaking efforts to become savvy with their money, like the insiders, by obtaining sufficient financial education


To gain the necessary financial education, it is best to pursue association with, access to, and membership in, a wealth creation community. As a result, you will learn about alternative wealth creating strategies and consider investments in non dollar- denominated assets … perhaps emerging markets … perhaps energy assets that are inherently useful like oil rigs, hydropower, or methanol plants … perhaps precious metals, rare earths, water rights, oil, natural gas, potash mines, or gold mines … things hard to build, difficult to replace, and costly to substitute … definitely not financial stocks, definitely not retail stocks, definitely not commercial property.


For those wanting protection of their purchasing power in gold, there are several ways that may be appropriate to obtain this protection. These include direct ownership in minted coins, use of gold exchange-traded funds, gold mutual funds, and junior gold stocks. Many are investigating having part of their IRAs in gold, silver, precious metals, and non-dollar denominated currencies.


Additionally, you will want to learn secrets to grow and protect your financial future by using methods and techniques of the rich, like Bank On Yourself. Bank On Yourself is a unique, powerful, and time-tested method that Wall Street, Banks, and Finance Companies do not want you to know. Being part of a wealth creation community, you will learn the secrets of the rich and understand that certain whole life insurance contracts with special features (not widely known) like a “paid-up additions rider” on the policy, enable you to become the source of financing for your home, home repairs, business equipment, college education, and other major purchases like cars, vacations, and even vacation or retirement homes. By using this method, you are able to pay yourself the interest that you would have paid to banks, if you had financed these purchases. You thereby reduce or eliminate the control these institutions have over you.


In addition, for those that truly believe sovereign risk is the greatest risk we all face, it is wise to learn how to implement a multiple flag strategy to diversify this risk or provide protection against higher taxes, capital controls, hyper-inflation, civil unrest, erosion of personal liberty, and the rise of a police state. With a multiple flag system, you consider taking preparations like, but not limited to, establishing a foreign bank account, purchasing some real estate overseas, seeking alternate sources of income, having dual citizenship, and carrying multiple passports.


I trust this post provides a little more insight into the financial crisis that is upon us in terms of the empire of debt, capital being on strike, and the lowering of our standard of living. If you take control of your financial life you can reduce the impact of the volatile stock market and the loss of your nest egg. You can use this insight to increase your lifetime wealth and reach your goals and dreams as long as you become an activist for your money.

Control the Food - Control the People

Some of the current bills in Congress could be some of the most dangerous legislation in the history of America. The upcoming lame-duck session will likely be a last ditch effort to jam some of these bills through in order to further advance a progressive agenda. Three of the most dangerous bills in Congress are Senate Bill S.510 the Food Safety Modernization Act, Senate Bill SB 787 the Clean Water Restoration Act, and HR 5101 the Wildlife Corridors Conservation Act of 2010. These bills, if passed, could put the United State government in control of the entire food and water supply in America.

Senate Bill S.510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, could make it illegal to grow, share, trade, or sell home-grown food. World renowned microbiologist, human rights activist, and Canada Health whistle blower, Dr. Shiv Chopra said of the bill, “If accepted [S.510] would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God.”

Steve Miller of Clarkston, Georgia is currently in the process of being fined $5,000 for "growing too many vegetables". In January of this year, DeKalb County Code Enforcement officers cited Miller for growing too many vegetables and having unpermitted workers on his property. If bill S.510 passes, this will become the norm instead of the exception.

The basis of SB 787, the Clean Water Restoration Act, is to expand the authority of the Corps of Engineers to control the land that is “adjacent to, near, is affected by, or affects” any body of water in the United States. The definition of “waters” in the bill will include even “dry desert potholes” and any location that has water, or might have water even for a temporary period of time. This has the potential to be one of the most destructive bills in the history of Congress regarding property rights. Under the authority of this bill, the Corps of Engineers could require a permit even to mow residential lawns! Advocates of the bill claim that statements like this are ridiculous because the “agency would never attempt such local control.” Does anyone believe that once a government agency has been granted “expanded authority” that they will choose not to exercise that authority?

HR 5101, the Wildlife Corridors Conservation Act of 2010, creates a program to accumulate data pertaining to wildlife migratory patterns in order to establish “corridors” that would minimize human activity within these corridors. This means no hunting, no fishing, no camping, or any other activity within these corridors. Is this in the interest of “wildlife conservation”, or is something else going on here?

The combination of these three bills in Congress would grant government bureaucrats control of the farming industry, the United States water supply, and even the food that could be obtained through hunting and fishing. Viewed separately, these bills may be spun as “in the interest of public safety”, “in the interest of environmental concern”, and “in the interest of wildlife preservation”, but when viewed collectively, this is an obvious attempt by the government to control the people. If the government is allowed to have total control of the food and water supply, they would by default have total control of the citizens of the United States. Control the food, control the people. This control, without a doubt, tramples on certain “unalienable rights” endowed to us by our CREATOR, among them Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. If you don’t have food, you don’t have life. If you have to rely on the government for food, you don’t have liberty. I don’t know for sure “yet”, so I can only assume that it would be rather difficult to pursue happiness while standing in government bread lines. America, are you listening?

Think our problems are new problems?

"The budget should be balanced; the treasury should be refilled; public debt should be reduced; and the arrogance of public officials should be controlled."


- Cicero. 106-43 B.C.


------------- 1900 years later and we're still ignoring this sage advice.

"The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools." -- 'State Tamperings with Money Banks' -- Herbert Spencer (1820-1903).

Well, I think it would be more accurate to say that the fools are crowding the halls of power, lending themselves as the instruments of a rather shadowy and influential, loosely linked group of people and corporations, none of whom have our best interests at heart. They are, of course, concerned solely with their own enrichment, and should not be permitted to manipulate populations through influence with our elected officials.

Please do not misunderstand me - I am not interested in communism or extremes of socialism, systems which have themselves been proven to be as open to corruption as any other. Rather, I would urge people to be a little more interested in what is happening around them, and ensure that, over time, some discipline is forced upon our political leaders. We do not have to put up with the depradation and level of exploitation to which we are, very quietly, subjected by the great and the 'good', and the fair and decent people of the reasonable right should be heard.

The nations of the west belong to their citizens, and we have the right, indeed the obligation, to prevent them from being gradually dismantled by people who show loyalty only to themselves. If you are in agreement with these sentiments, please let me know at dreadnought@zoho.com.
