How about Wealth Preservation?

January 29, 2012

Since I seem to be so preoccupied with currency and, unfortunately, Gold, people sometimes ask me how to preserve their wealth in this ongoing onslaught by the Money Power. But the fact is I’m broke, so I’m not the one to ask.

If you want to know about health, never ask somebody who does not look healthy. That’s the best advice concerning this important matter I ever heard and I’m quite positive it is the same with all serious matters.

When I started to wake up to the ways of this world in the aftermath of 9/11 I was an ICT professional working for a Government agency in the Netherlands. A ‘good’ job, the more so since I dropped out of school at 16, without even so much as a High School diploma.

At the time, I had already gone through a period of psychological and spiritual healing after a painful childhood and a very difficult adolescence. I’ve always felt that this healing was conditional for my sudden awakening from the Matrix.

When I started to realize what Banking is and that we are all Interest Slaves, I quit my job and took a sabbatical. After that I did a few free lance jobs, making € 60,000 per year after taxes. That was nice, I was swimming in cash and far less dependent on silly bosses and bureaucracy’s antics. But I was still working for Capital which was taking most of the added value of my work. It did nothing to end interest slavery. It did nothing to stop or even slightly hinder the Money Power.

So I had to make a choice. And the choice I was contemplating was to continue these lucrative jobs and save enough to buy a few kilos of Gold. Or to abandon the idea of personal prosperity and start an Interest Free Money initiative.

I chose the latter. Because of Jesus’ simple words:

19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
  27Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
  28“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
  31“Therefore do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?’ or “What shall we drink?’ or “What shall we wear?’ 32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

No, Jesus does not seem to have a very high regard for the preservation of wealth and although I don’t care about priests or mullah’s, I’m very interested in what the ancient Scriptures, from all over the world, have to say.

Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
I’m a man of simple logic and to my mind it’s very, very difficult to argue with these words.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Adversary has his own designs when plugging Gold as he clearly is doing now. Ron Paul had this to say on the matter:
“One objective might be to aim for every American to become a gold owner. We must encourage a broader base of political support for gold ownership…..”

Quite typical of our Masters and their manufacturing of consent.

Since I have no wealth to preserve I’ve withstood the temptation to buy some Silver, which is the metal I would chose would I want to speculate a little.

The danger is, I’d start hoping things would go wrong. It would diminish my capacity for resistance, because I would feel comfortable. I’d sink thousands of euros in dead Silver, rotting in my basement, while other activities need the investment.

I do recommend people who do own assets to put 10 to 20% of their assets in metal. In that case they’d be saved from the paper implosion that will continue. Without getting richer from the catastrophe. It’s not advisable to profit from other people’s pain. It brings certain karmic problems.
But I hate the idea of my loved ones being robbed by Banks and their owners, only because they’re a little naive. But even then I’m not sure I’m doing the right thing. It might be more beneficial for them to be rudely awakened than financially secure.

Very few have actually taken the advice anyway. They don’t care and there is a lot to be said for that.

My net asset position is probably about – €20,000. I only own a piano, a few hundred books, an electric scooter and a computer. Pretty grim for a 39 year old, wouldn’t you say?

Since 2003 I married and women are not happy with a poor man. They are brainwashed to expect comfort and luxury from marriage. ‘Security’. So are most people and I’m quite sure most people who know me wonder what the hell I might be up to. They like me and according to my wife they’re sometimes fascinated by the question what drives me, as it seems to be quite alien to them.

It’s not always pleasant. It is easier and more macho to be generous in the pub as I always used to be.

But I’ve been incredibly blessed during that period. Very kind and generous people have supported me and my work with gifts and loans with very soft conditions. At some point, when the financial black hole became seemingly untenable and I really started to lose it because of the stress of clamoring creditors, all of the sudden I get a €11,000 tax rebate. Totally unexpected.

I often think of that scene in an Indiana Jones movie, where Ford is just about to get to the Holy Grail. But he’s facing a great divide, a canyon, and he must get across. There is no bridge, no rope, nothing. But Indiana Jones remembers the prophesies, just in time, imploring to make a leap of faith. He steps into the canyon and when he does a bridge materializes under his feet, allowing him safe passage.

I believe that this is the key to walking with the One.

This is not a recommendation and it is certainly not for the fainthearted. I don’t like talking about it, because I fear it would damage the magic or suggest I have anything to do with it.

It’s just an explanation why I don’t feel I’m in the position to recommend any wealth preservation strategies.

  1. Wealth preservation is the preservation of the means to maintain the sources of wealth. A house needs maintenance a good teacher too. The means to such wealth preservation is a healthy economy and an inert money system. The prevalent economic paradigm is founded on circular logic it itself generates loss of wealth by validating an inherently unstable money system that bleeds wealth from the majority and then sells it bogus and subjective strategies to “preserve wealth”.

    The real strategy for preserving wealth is that we implement a Passive BIBO Stable money system see: http://www.bibocurrency.org and thus free each individual from current arbitrary limits and constraints that impede that each:

    a) Can create their own wealth to their rightful capacity
    b) Can maintain the wealth they create
    c) Have unfettered access to liquidity to represent their wealth in legitimate transactions

    This is the only real wealth preservation strategy that also happens to be what would stabilise society, provide security, reduce wasteful consumption and enable all constructive contributors to do what they do best.

    A preamble to all this can be found here: http://www.bibocurrency.org/English/The%20Scam%20short%20form.htm (remember to follow the link at the bottom of the first page).

  2. Michael,

    I’m one of the few people who think that all schools as they exist today should be closed forever, because they only serve the state agenda of feudalism, fascism, and socialism. They are brain-washing institutions of the lowest order. I am appalled at how young people are so unprepared for life and these schools do not impart knowledge to help them get good jobs. If people what their children to go to school, then it would be better if the schools were private. The best schools would get the most customers. As it stands today, most schools are communist training camps just to make useful drones out of young people.

    When I was in college (I never graduated) I was being taught evolution which is utter nonsense and communist which of course is wrong from all directions. One of the happiest days of my life was when I walked off campus, never to return again. I went out and just made money and supported a family. I learned the things I need to learn, without someone telling me which courses I should have to get some stupid piece of paper that says I’m supposed to be smart. I think mankind could progress remarkably well without public schools.

    It is interesting that you used the words interest slave. I recently posted an article about how every good man is free. http://verydumbgovernment.blogspot.com/2012/01/every-good-man-is-free-review.html It basically says that good men are free, and evil men are slaves. Those people who engage themselves in interest and usury are slaves because interest and usury are evil. You don’t have to have a “masters” degree to understand that this activity is wrong.

    I’m finding that I don’t want to be very rich nor do I want to be very poor. Somewhere in between suits me just fine. I still like to work to stay productive.

    If we get rid of the interest, a lot of problems will go away.

      Or was, anyway, he just took yours off.

      • Anthony,

        I did notice that and my article has now been removed. He keeps the articles coming fast to keep the interest up at his site.

        If you take the principle of “every good man is free” and “every wicked man is a slave:” you can immediately see that living under an evil financial system that charges interest is a form of slavery. Evil people commit sins, charging interest is a sin; therefore, interest and usury are sins against God and are evil. This is why it will always fail.

        • I agree Al and I much liked your article.

          Recently I read about the Falun Gong, a sort of Chinese Yoga. These people have as one of their wisdoms not to bother too much about exploitation. It helped me. Just let it be.

          The Spirit is invincible and cannot be destroyed but by the One. Let’s focus on that and on the joy of God’s peace when we join Him for prayer.

  3. http://www.robertwilliamusher.com/ – this guy is saying a major transition in monetary understanding is written in the stars for the near future. The Mayans, a culture built on the flawed use of an accounting tool called currency, knew something about astrology. The main regret people will have after the transition to post bank is not having been on the front line. The “halves” will regret taking advantage of the poor and not learning more variety of viable skills. The “halve not’s” will regret not spending more time developing skills related to running businesses they now find themselves in ownership of. The dawn is the evening, pun intended.

    How about soul Preservation? Please read “The Way Home or face The Fire” and give it to all your
    friends.

    The Book: The Way home or face The Fire by JAH

    King of kings’ Bible Rev.10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take [it], and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth as sweet as honey.
    10:10 And I took the little book (white stone ch. 2:17) out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten (digested) it, my belly was bitter.

  6. Thanks Anthony. Very refreshing, mirroring some of my own thought processes almost exactly.

    I got here through a link from a friend who follows http://www.henrymakow.com

    I’ve been working to bring a local/complementary currency to our small town outside Vancouver, Canada; but it’s been difficult due to lack of information. The various links throughout your blog have proved very informative.

    It would be a shame to see the local shops close down as the new Walmart comes in.

    Thanks again.

    • Thanks Jimmy, great to hear the site is of use to you!

      It’s main aim is to fill the gap in the Alternative Media concerning real monetary alternatives.

      The truth is out there!
