Silver at 9/11

Hello folks,

Apologies to not updating the blogspot frequently.  As I notice the views are low and I focus on the youtube videos, I've neglected this forum.  It's a self inflicted downward spiral.  No content equals no followers and vice versa. I will make it a point to update more frequently, at least once a week, and I'll link the site to my youtube channel so that i can reach more people and increase silver awareness.  That is my ultimate goal as whatever monetizations that google throws my way is completely insignificant.  I've made like 8 bucks in 5 months. And that's a digital 8 bucks, nothing I've ever collected.  I'll be posting my blog not in essay form, but as a collection of my thoughts at the moment.  I will jump around, come back, as this is unedited. With that being said let us get to the content.

As we approach the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, the government and the media will look to stoke our emotions of that historic day. As a NYC resident at that time, I recall the day as if it were yesterday.  I remember hearing so many reports of disinformation, I didn't know what was real and what was fake. What was real was one of my best friends in college, Christopher Santora.  He was a teacher but joined the Fire Department to follow his father's footsteps and was one of the 343 firemen killed that day.  He was the only person I knew personally that died that day. To make matters worse, his body was so charred that they mistook his body for someone else's.  May he rest in peace.

I remember wanted to lash out at the world for attacking us.  Bomb everyone, and whoever dies so be it.  It was such a foolish thought but a natural reaction for what happened.  This is when my awakening began. I wanted to know the reasons why we were attacked.  For naive Americans, it is because of our way of life.  That couldn't be the closest thing to the truth.  The truth is most people around the world love American culture.  It really stems from American overreach and activism in others affairs. Anyway, by the time we set our sights on Iraq, I was already an antiwar activist.

The 9/11 ten year anniversary will be used as an opportunity to remind us that we are not safe and as a result you must sacrifice.  What they mean by sacrifice is what I want to get into.  They don't mean save money, help your neighbors, and the poor and elderly.  Sacrifice to them means spying on your neighbors, letting the TSA violate your body, your wife's, your children.  Spend money that you don't have via credit cards and loans.  Accept that your savings account earns zero interest but when you borrow you borrow at 15, 20, 25, and even 30%.  Neglect the unemployment numbers.    Indulge and pay later or let your kids pay for it or their kids.  Neglect inflation, the debasement of our currency, our savings. Neglect the price appreciation of precious metals.

Most people view gold as out of their league but the real trick is not letting people understand that sound money also includes silver.  A precious metal, and industrial metal, part of the US currency as early back as 1964.  With a nation of immigrants, 15% on food stamps, and no sense of neighbors, as we are a melting pot, a nation of 300 million individuals, they rule us by keeping us divided.

How often have you seen a family from China, India, or other Eastern country come to the US, save money, work together, and become home owners, business owners, and do well for themselves?  It happens quite a lot.  They don't have this feeling of self entitlement that has spread throughout our country like a disease.  They believe in hard work and taking care of family.  It is missing from our society.  Capitalism equals individual greediness.

It is that set up that will break us free from the bankers shackles.  We must save our own capital, finance our own projects, and not use the banking system.  Become your own central bank.  You must own physical silver.  Never spend it.  It is to be used as your collateral for you business ventures.  You must find a way to have positive cash flow.  Assets must produce cash flow.  You cannot rely on capital appreciation.  The housing crisis is proof of that.

You cannot put a price on your financial freedom.  At least 50% of your net worth should be in precious metals.  I prefer 80% but that might be high for some folks.  This will also pave the way for you to take advantage of the paper game.  You can be wealthy outside the financial system but poor within it.   This also has its advantages.  Look at the all the government handouts.  You can now grab a piece.  You can get a home mod, welfare, and whatever else as long as you are paper poor.  And to me its all about being hard asset rich and paper poor.

That's my 9/9 rant.  Have a nice weekend.
