Today, most Americans know absolutely nothing about, let alone own, this incredibly valuable asset. This has nothing to do with gold coins, silver, collectibles, or real estate of any kind, yet it could be the single most important step you take to preserve your wealth.

That’s why I’d like to tell you about another form of currency that retains its value like gold does, only, it’s not as expensive (it, too, has retained its value through all of history’s worst crises).

I’m talking, of course, about silver.

Americans are finally starting to wake up to the fact that silver is real money… and one of the few forms of protection against reckless and irresponsible government spending.

Did you know, for example, that after the banking collapse in 2008 investors purchased 20-times more Silver Eagle coins than Gold Eagles?

And get this: Last year (2014) was a record year for Silver Eagle coins sales. The U.S. Mint sold more Silver Eagles in 2014 than in any year prior. Over the past 5 years, the sales of Silver Eagles have outpaced Gold Eagles by 300%.

And here’s the best thing about silver…

Should the “you-know-what” hit the fan… silver is going to be much more practical than gold for day-to-day purchases. You see, because silver is far less valuable, it is actually far more useful than gold for buying small, day-to-day items during a crisis.

You could buy canned goods with one silver coin at the grocery store. Then you could buy diapers at the drugstore with another silver coin.

You can’t do that with gold.

It’s also safer to carry silver during a crisis. There’s a saying that “gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen.” You don’t want to look like a king during a monetary crisis.

That’s why silver will be absolutely essential for day-to-day life during a currency crisis.

Yes, gold is the ultimate store of wealth… just make sure you own some silver too.

That’s why my firm has done a ton of research on this precious metal. We have found great ways to buy and hold the metal personally… to have it stored in a secure location in the United States and overseas.

We recently found what might be the single greatest tax loophole in America—ever.

I’m talking about way to essentially (and legally) remove yourself from the federal and state tax code, without leaving America—AND exempt yourself from paying taxes on dividends, interest, and capital gains, too.

No, I’m not talking about giving up your citizenship, or anything as drastic as that.

But still, this course of action is certainly not for everyone. It requires a major change in lifestyle. But it is a very real option.

The reality is, there’s no telling how bad things are going to get as the government continues its gross overreach upon the American public. This is an option every American, at the very least, should be aware of. I personally think it will make sense for a lot of people.

Several of my friends and colleagues have already taken advantage of this strategy. So have some of America’s richest investors and retirees including billionaire John Paulson and Nicholas Prouty, who runs private equity firm Putnam Bridge.

I’m seriously considering it too as an option down the road.

I’ve even read in the New York Times that the tax savings could add up to at least in the six figures every single year, depending on your income.

I don’t want to say any more about it than that, here in this letter. The truth is, the fewer people who know about this, the better.

Your nestmann link taught me something I did not know but makes perfect sense (blue from the link):

One anonymous ex-IRS attorney says:

Almost every large firm or corporation has a person inside the IRS. It’s a revolving door, with the top two or three management layers all from big accounting and law firms, and this is why they won’t work big billion-dollar cases criminally. Private bar attorneys are, in effect, controlling the IRS. It’s a type of corruption – that’s the word used by one IRS agent I’m in touch with whose case was shut down by higher ups without cause.

THAT makes perfect sense.  Companies with their own good ol boyz inside the machine.

(Germaneness mine.)

Again increases in degrees-of-freedom doesn't have to be selfish even if it is physical. For example, if remove that obstacle that makes us all walk further than we need to.

Any (at least, physical) thing that someone else has is something I don't have. One doesn't see what it has, it sees what it could have (as your appeals imply).

Everyone enjoins a better outcome.

[380] More hands mean more work and more increase. If your heart within you desires wealth, do these things and work with work upon work. When the Pleiades, daughters of Atlas, are rising,1 begin your harvest, and your ploughing when they are going to set.2 [385] Forty nights and days they are hidden and appear again as the year moves round, when first you sharpen your sickle. This is the law of the plains, and of those who live near the sea, [390] and who inhabit rich country, the glens and hollows far from the tossing sea,—strip to sow and strip to plough and strip to reap, if you wish to get in all Demeter's fruits in due season, and that each kind may grow in its season.

Nonsense. Study again the concept of the Inverse Commons. The entire point is every one wins (degrees-of-freedom and entropy progresses towards maximum).

Maximal production is that production which is minimal for all others

The Inverse Commons is a natural law that not only maintains order, it fosters maximum productivity. See the video I added from Linus Torvalds.

Where there is law, there is politics. Will your "Knowledge Age" (TPTB_need_war) maintain "law and order?"

The political strategy is to make politics (collectivized resource appropriation) less relevant so people are more in tune with what benefits them, i.e. Welcome to the Knowledge Age.

Politics is the art of convincing people of what they really want. Why you are conflating marketing into this is beyond me.  So make it better or use politics to get people to want it. But remember, that if the politically powerful want to control something, they aren't afraid, or above, using politics to get it.  So since there isn't a political strategy guiding any of this, I'll leave it alone--I was initially asking if there was one and where do i find it, but that got lost in the conversation.   You could have just said "no" or "not to my knowledge."

Politics is the art of convincing people of what they really want.

If the cuckoo does not sing, kill it.

I don’t care if they love me so long as they fear me.

Trust me, you are missing the point.


No, no, no. You'll never get there if you expect to teach people to prefer what they don't prefer. Never. You broke the fundamental rule of marketing.


Exactly. People have to want to use it because they like it better, makes them more productive, improves their profitability, gives them ways to do things which they are currently prevented from doing, etc..

That is why I said it all about doing the code to make that a reality. Not about politics.

And yes, making it incredibly easy-to-use. Now go study again my marketing of CoolPage. Who knows ease of use? And who knows what people want?

I am talking too much.

...but there will always be bigger fish for them to harass.

I will email him today, I would definately purchase the report if it included cryptos.
