DEMOCRACY is two wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for lunch…

LIBERTY is a well armed sheep contesting the outcome of the vote….

America:

End of an Empire?

How much is a trillion?

• In terms of seconds?

• In terms of dollars end to end?

• In terms of spending $1MM per day?

• In terms of $1,000 bills stacked?

The U.S. Government and the Federal Reserve are

completely incapable of preventing what is coming

Where Are We Now?

Just like drug addicts shoot up to avoid withdrawals, politicians and Fed officials keep inflating the money

supply to avoid a depression, until the money is worthless and the depression occurs anyway

The U.S. Government’s attitude is, print trillions of dollars to stop deflation, then when runaway inflation rears its ugly head, simply pull the money back out of circulation.

But the record clearly shows for the last 40 years that they never pull the money back out, thus devaluing our currency, the dollar.

Inflationary Boom versus Deflation Bust

The Fed is walking a tight rope at heights that would make one dizzy trying to thread a very small needle with a thick rope.

As they are attempting this, gigantic forces from each side are trying to suck them off the tight rope

Instead of letting all the mal-investment that has been created

work its way out of the system through a shakeout, the Fed believes the shakeout is the

problem not the natural solution

If the Federal Reserve officials were subject to the same laws

as you and I, everyone who has ever worked for the Fed

would be in prison

All roads lead to the greatest depression the world has ever known

How did the U.S. get into this mess?

“A democracy is always temporary in nature, it simply

cannot exist as a permanent form of government”

Alexander Tyler (1787)

“A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury”

“From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is ALWAYS followed by dictatorship”

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is

the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves

William Pitt, before the House of Commons November 18th, 1783

“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years”

During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

• From bondage to spiritual faith• From spiritual faith to great courage• From courage to liberty• From liberty to abundance• From abundance to complacency• From complacency to apathy• From apathy to dependence• From dependence back into bondage

Is America at end of Empire?

Ultimately, WE THE PEOPLE WILL DECIDE ITS FATE, NOT THE GOVERNMENT

BUREAUCRATS

Unfortunately the average citizen is so clueless about what is going on that they are oblivious to the

source of their plight

The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists

it

John Hay 1872

The time to guard against corruption and tyranny is before they shall have gotten

hold of us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold then to trust drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered

Thomas Jefferson

The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the

Constitution

Abraham Linclon

II believe that banking institutions are more

dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. Thomas Jefferson 1802

Ever so often, the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of

patriots and tyrants

Thomas Jefferson

Benjamin Franklin’s admonition as he left the final meeting of the Constitutional convention to his wife who asked what the new government would be. Franklin replied:

“A republic, madam. IF YOU CAN KEEP IT.”

Yes, we did produce a near perfect republic, but will they keep it? Or will they in their enjoyment of plenty, lose memory of their freedom? Material abundance without character is the surest way to destruction. Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.

Thomas Jefferson

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Pain makes man think, thinking makes man wise, and wisdom makes life endurable

John Patrick

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.

Henry Ford

What can we do as investors?

• Pay down, pay off debt as quickly as possible if you have any

• Own physical precious metals• Own mining stocks, especially those with

precious metals exposure• Get a food storage together• Have a safe haven place to go in case of trouble• Take a global perspective with investments• Help educate others who will listen about the

truth

Investments that do well during times of runaway inflation and runaway government will be spectacular performers

Expecting your life to be improved by politics

is to believe in one of the most unlikely events imaginable.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Prepare to profit from the coming runaway inflation.

What the Market is Looking For

• Companies that have lots of cash / cashflow• Production or near-term production scenarios• Exceptional Management • Prospect generators• Existing assets or defined discovery• Higher grade resources versus lower grade• Existing mining camps• Existing infrastructure• Low development costs• In good jurisdictions• Short permitting times

A Critical Time to Prune the Portfolio

Look at companies with the most items from the list that are trading near or below cash value

• Beef up positions in the best companies• Cut the deadwood from the portfolio if

companies don’t have what the market is looking for

• Less companies in the portfolio rather than more
