<p><strong><em><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">First they ignore you...then they ridicule you...then they fight you...then you win</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">Mohatma Gandhi</span></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">This&nbsp;classic&nbsp;Gandhi quote&nbsp;from more than 70 years ago likely resonates with many of your reading this. We are taught from&nbsp;kindergarten on&nbsp;that we should raise our hand before speaking, that we should act with the&nbsp;rest of the group, and that the majority view is the correct, and therefore the&nbsp;<em>safe</em>&nbsp;view. Many times, individual thinking is frowned upon, and as a result, many&nbsp;(if not most) have become accustomed to the mindset that it's just safer to&nbsp;<em>go along to get along</em>.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">Likewise, regardless of your professional occupation, you have probably found that this exact thought process has been&nbsp;<em>ever so subtly</em>&nbsp;forced&nbsp;on you. Throughout life, and regardless&nbsp;of the topic...be it religion, politics, business, relationships, or investing...those that&nbsp;think outside the box, and then have the temerity to share their&nbsp;views with others, can&nbsp;many times be viewed as eccentric and a little&nbsp;kooky, if not radical and slightly dangerous. This is exactly how Gandhi was viewed throughout much of his adult life, as he taught his fellow countrymen and women in India the principles of&nbsp;<em>resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience</em>...AND in&nbsp;<em>complete nonviolence</em>...a philosophy that he&nbsp;lived, day-in day-out,&nbsp;for all to see and learn from. Gandhi made independence for India a reality with this philosophy, which also inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;"><strong><em>First they ignore you...then they ridicule you...then they fight you...then you win</em></strong>&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">But&nbsp;it's a little crazy to compare the accomplishments of one of the most principled visionaries and true&nbsp;leaders of all&nbsp;time to the topic of investing and wealth creation, right? OR...is this the exact approach that we should all work&nbsp;on in order to&nbsp;achieve our most sought after goals and dreams?&nbsp;Independent thinking, in my opinion, is the key to&nbsp;<strong>everything</strong>&nbsp;important in your life. Too often, we fall into the very dangerous trap of seeking the acceptance of others over thoughtful independent thinking, and then&nbsp;following through&nbsp;with actions that are in our own&nbsp;best interests.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">When you break free from&nbsp;"group think" and begin thinking outside the box, you will&nbsp;develop a level of inner confidence that allows you to reach heights never&nbsp;before achieved.&nbsp;And yes, with big ideas and an independent thought process you will likely find that your ideas are at first ignored and ridiculed. Then, when you begin to make people really uncomfortable, they may even fight you.&nbsp;<strong>This is when you will know that you have won</strong>.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">No, this is not my typical VRA update, but its a topic&nbsp;I&nbsp;have spent a lifetime thinking about. This mindset that allowed me to create the VRA in 2003 and empowered Karl Bessey and&nbsp;I to start Wealth Masters International in 2005. &nbsp;It also gave us&nbsp;<em>permission&nbsp;</em>to become&nbsp;<em>equal opportunity offenders</em>...which then enabled us to&nbsp;create the unique, never-before-seen kind of&nbsp;company that WMI is today...beholden to no one. I believe that it's also&nbsp;why we&nbsp;picked up the moniker of&nbsp;<em><strong>The Worlds Premier Wealth Creation Community</strong></em>. We realized long ago that the majority is just about always wrong...and that it's been&nbsp;<em>big thinking</em>&nbsp;<em>contrarians</em>&nbsp;throughout history that have created the vast majority of wealth, and even more importantly, massive personal success through the concept of&nbsp;<em>helping others to achieve what they want out of life</em>.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">In my daily work with Wealth Masters, the VRA and CrashProof Prosperity, I meet and speak&nbsp;with&nbsp;literally hundreds of people each month that I know would benefit greatly from the adoption of this&nbsp;powerful approach to living life...and to living it on&nbsp;<strong>your</strong>&nbsp;terms. And it absolutely applies to creating&nbsp;massive amounts of wealth. Lemmings don't tend to do too well when they go over that cliff together.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">This exact mindset is increasingly prevalent in our welfare minded, entitlement deserving state of mind.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">Today, more recipients collect money from the government than pay taxes.&nbsp;</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">The US is now past 100% debt to GDP for the first time in our nations history. Throughout Europe, this number is consistently 130% plus, and in Japan, it's a staggering 230%.&nbsp;</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">A record 48 million in the US are on food stamps, and nearly 1 in 4 receive money from the government each month.&nbsp;</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">When Ronald Reagan took office in 1980, total government debt was $1 trillion...today it stands at more than $15 trillion, and is projected to rise to more than $23 trillion by 2015...less than 3 years from now!</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">Combined, including unfunded liabilities (entitlement programs), the US now has more than $117 trillion in total debt.&nbsp;</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">&nbsp;<span style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px;">Finally, the US debt is now 5000 times greater than it was in 1913. Why is this year significant? 1913 is the year the Federal Reserve was created...the year that currency inflation became our largest financial threat. The global destruction of the middle class&nbsp;is the end result.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;"><strong><em>First they ignore you...then they ridicule you...then they fight you...then you win</em></strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">The facts presented here are just that...facts. By accessing the most valuable commodity on the planet...true knowledge...you are empowered to act in your best interests, and obtain your share of the ongoing $50 trillion wealth transfer. Have you ever wondered why it takes two incomes in your family to enjoy the same standard of living that just one income made possible just 20-30 years ago? Currency inflation...thanks to the Central Banks of the world, have robbed us of our savings, and made most everything we are forced to purchase on a daily basis much more expensive.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">With the record debts laid out above, do you believe this situation will become better or worse going forward?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">Some 70 years ago, Gandhi made a difference in the lives of hundreds of millions by resisting tyranny through peaceful civil disobedience. Courage isn't easy...but what would you rather be remembered for? Going along to get along or taking a stand for speaking the truth and doing the right thing?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">After all....it's YOUR life. Why live it to make someone else happy?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;"><strong><em>First they ignore you...then they ridicule you...then they fight you...then you win</em></strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;"><strong><em>This $50 trillion wealth transfer is picking up speed...continue to find the courage to make the right decisions.</em></strong></span></p>

<p>I have not always been a long term, independent minded, macro thinker and investor. In my early years on Wall Street, I followed the actions of a senior investment advisor who was an options specialist. He placed anywhere from 1000-5000 options orders DAILY, and his technical analysis was minute by minute, and many times second by second. It took me about a year to realize that this kind of investing just wasn't for me...much too risky and fast moving...with way too much guesswork. Jack (the options specialist) wound up having a heart attack, and while he recovered 100%, he was forced to give up options trading...turns out, it wasn't really his style of investing either.</p>
<p>Within about 5 years into the business, a mentor came into my life that perfectly suited my personality. Ted had been in the industry about 40 years when I met him, and he completely understood how the markets worked and why they worked the way they did. His view was that all successful investing and decision making started with the macro view...the big picture economically and personally. He believed that once you understood the macro fundamentals that you could then choose the specific industries and companies that made the best investment sense. He also believed that having a long term perspective was the only way to go, and that following YOUR instincts...not someone else's...was the key to making great decisions.</p>
<p>Over the years I studied the work of other well known macro investors. Experts like Peter Lynch and Warren Buffet are famous for their macro work, and it didn't take me long to realize that this was the ONLY way to build lasting, long term wealth...not just using the stock markets, but with real estate and commodities as well. Napoleon Hill taught me the same principals about life through Think and Grow Rich. Over the last decade plus I've done my best to describe and teach this style of living, and from time to time I receive emails that illustrate the success my subscribers have had.</p>
<p>Recently, I received the following email that I'd like to share with you here:</p>
<p><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">Dear Kip,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">Thank you for your consistently passionate work and for steering us in the right direction. Before I joined WMI and began taking the VRA, my financial life was a mess. We were way too leveraged in real estate and had never had success in the stock market. If we had not listened to you about 3 years ago, we would have lost everything. When I first shared with my wife your views of the stock market and real estate market, she thought you were crazy. She told me "there is no way we're selling these properties now. Doesn't he know that we are already underwater&nbsp;and will have to take losses"?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">We talked about these decisions for a couple of months and then bit the bullet and got out from underneath these properties. If we had kept them, we would be in bankruptcy today, with millions in losses. Instead, we are debt free and we are making money in the VRA and gold and silver. &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">Every time we hear you say that you are "equal opportunity offenders" we both laugh, but we also know exactly what you mean by it. Thank you and Karl for being men of your word and for following your instincts. You have lots of fans out here and we are on board for the 50 trillion transfer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">Thank you!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: wp_bogus_font;">M &amp; M - California&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>Solid investment advice is really no different than solid wisdom for life. And no, living your life with a long term, independently thought out mindset is not always the easiest thing to do. Many times you have to fight what might be 10, 20 or even 50 years of wrong way-conditioning, and frequently, this conditioning may come from those that you care about the most (family and friends). &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p>We deeply believe in the principals that WMI stands for. Authenticity...Loyalty... Freedom...Prosperity...and of course, The Truth. The truth resonates, and when you reach the point in your life where you recognize the truth, when you see it and when you hear it, all of your life decisions become more grounded...more real...and more concrete.</p>
<p>I appreciate the fact that I had both of these mentors in my life, Jack and Ted. They both taught me an incredible amount about myself, and the life that I chose to lead. As you continue on your journey to prosperity and authenticity, may your mentors serve you as well as mine have served me.</p>
<p>Your friend</p>
<p>Kip &nbsp;</p>

<p>European Bailout Package Announced&nbsp;&nbsp;- $1.3 Quadrillion Derivatives Implosion May Be Next&nbsp;</p>
<p>The announcement from the EU has been made, with the initial size of Europes bailout package announced as $1.7 Trillion USD. Details? What details!&nbsp;</p>
<p>As I write this (at 3:30 am cst), the stock markets seem to like the news, with Dow futures up 180 points, and similar gains happening globally. The question is, will the party last?&nbsp;</p>
<p>First, the details as we know them&hellip;followed by the HUGE risks that I see coming from this plan.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s what we know so far, and one specific part of it is going to scare the ---- out of the $1.3 quadrillion (in size) derivatives markets, specifically the CDS market, or Credit Default Swaps.&nbsp;</p>
<p>First, the size. Trust me when I tell you that the announced size of $1.7 trillion USD is just the beginning. This &ldquo;European TARP&rdquo;&hellip;or Euro bank bailout, which is exactly what I predicted would be announced&hellip;will allow for a 50% soft default on Greek government debt. This IS a sovereign debt default, and incredibly, Greece got off without any real forced austerity measures. I can tell you immediately that every bankrupt country across Europe is licking their chops at this deal. Why? Because Portugal, Italy, Ireland and Spain just realized that this is the EXACT deal that they will be able to negotiate as well! And, they will be able to do so without having to announce major changes to entitlement programs, or any other forced austerity measures that would have reigned in their ridiculous levels of beyond bankrupt spending.</p>
<p>Second, and this is where everyone reading this should be furious, it&rsquo;s clear that a large portion of this bailout money will come from the International Monetary Fund, or the IMF&hellip;.folks, that&rsquo;s me and you&hellip;.taxpayers of the world! How much you ask? Well, even without the official details right now, I can tell you that based on history, my educated guess is that about 20% will come from me and you&hellip;so, let&rsquo;s call it $340 billion USD or so. Hey, this bailout stuff is fun, huh.</p>
<p>Third&hellip;.next up we will learn how the European Central Bank (ECB) plans to participate in the party. Following the model from the US TRAP and stimulus bailouts of 2008/2009, we saw Ben Bernankes Federal Reserve initiate massive amounts of paper money printing, which they called Quantitative Easing&hellip;first QEI and then QEII&hellip;which combined totaled more than $2.5 trillion (just that we know of), which was used to by our OWN government and mortgage debt. So&hellip;.we can look for the ECB to do pretty much the same thing&hellip;they will soon begin printing massive amounts of Euros, which will be used to buy European debt. Again, because NO ONE else will!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Folks, the financial playbook that we have seen play out in the US will now be played out in Europe&hellip;almost to a tee.&nbsp;<strong>Here&rsquo;s what it means for our future&hellip;.massive currency inflation&hellip;and eventually, hyperinflation.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Finally, here&rsquo;s my big concern from what I&rsquo;ve seen announced so far.&nbsp;</strong>This &ldquo;soft bailout&rdquo; of Greece, is amazingly being pitched as a &ldquo;non-default&rdquo;&hellip;meaning that investors that purchased CDS&rsquo;s against Greek debt as insurance against the exact default that is now taking place, may see their insurance policy (CDS) deemed nearly worthless! If this takes place, I cannot emphasize how big of a deal it could wind up becoming.</p>
<p>Consider this, if the worlds largest investors&hellip;those that dominate the credit default swap market, along with all derivatives markets&hellip;begin to fear that ALL of their derivatives holdings could be made near-irrelevant at the drop of a hat, then we could be early witness to complete insanity in this MASSIVE and UNREGULATED $1.3 quadrillion marketplace.</p>
<p>How big is a quadrillion you ask? It&rsquo;s a 1 with 15 zeros. Or how about this&hellip;it&rsquo;s a actually a thousand trillion. It&rsquo;s also an amount that&rsquo;s more than 60 times the entire globes GDP. So&hellip;if the next collapse starts in the derivatives markets&hellip;well, it would make the economic crisis that we&rsquo;ve seen so far look like a walk in the park.</p>

<p style="color: #000000;">The announcement from the EU has been made, with the initial size of Europes bailout package announced as $1.7 Trillion USD. Details? What details!&nbsp;</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">As I write this (at 3:30 am cst), the stock markets seem to like the news, with Dow futures up 180 points, and similar gains happening globally. The question is, will the party last?&nbsp;</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">First, the details as we know them&hellip;followed by the HUGE risks that I see coming from this plan.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">Here&rsquo;s what we know so far, and one specific part of it is going to scare the ---- out of the $1.3 quadrillion (in size) derivatives markets, specifically the CDS market, or Credit Default Swaps.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">First, the size. Trust me when I tell you that the announced size of $1.7 trillion USD is just the beginning. This &ldquo;European TARP&rdquo;&hellip;or Euro bank bailout, which is exactly what I predicted would be announced&hellip;will allow for a 50% soft default on Greek government debt. This IS a sovereign debt default, and incredibly, Greece got off without any real forced austerity measures. I can tell you immediately that every bankrupt country across Europe is licking their chops at this deal. Why? Because Portugal, Italy, Ireland and Spain just realized that this is the EXACT deal that they will be able to negotiate as well! And, they will be able to do so without having to announce major changes to entitlement programs, or any other forced austerity measures that would have reigned in their ridiculous levels of beyond bankrupt spending.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">Second, and this is where everyone reading this should be furious, it&rsquo;s clear that a large portion of this bailout money will come from the International Monetary Fund, or the IMF&hellip;.folks, that&rsquo;s me and you&hellip;.taxpayers of the world! How much you ask? Well, even without the official details right now, I can tell you that based on history, my educated guess is that about 20% will come from me and you&hellip;so, let&rsquo;s call it $340 billion USD or so. Hey, this bailout stuff is fun, huh.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">Third&hellip;.next up we will learn how the European Central Bank (ECB) plans to participate in the party. Following the model from the US TRAP and stimulus bailouts of 2008/2009, we saw Ben Bernankes Federal Reserve initiate massive amounts of paper money printing, which they called Quantitative Easing&hellip;first QEI and then QEII&hellip;which combined totaled more than $2.5 trillion (just that we know of), which was used to by our OWN government and mortgage debt. So&hellip;.we can look for the ECB to do pretty much the same thing&hellip;they will soon begin printing massive amounts of Euros, which will be used to buy European debt. Again, because NO ONE else will!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">Folks, the financial playbook that we have seen play out in the US will now be played out in Europe&hellip;almost to a tee.&nbsp;<strong>Here&rsquo;s what it means for our future&hellip;.massive currency inflation&hellip;and eventually, hyperinflation.</strong></p>
<p style="color: #000000;"><strong>Finally, here&rsquo;s my big concern from what I&rsquo;ve seen announced so far.&nbsp;</strong>This &ldquo;soft bailout&rdquo; of Greece, is amazingly being pitched as a &ldquo;non-default&rdquo;&hellip;meaning that investors that purchased CDS&rsquo;s against Greek debt as insurance against the exact default that is now taking place, may see their insurance policy (CDS) deemed nearly worthless! If this takes place, I cannot emphasize how big of a deal it could wind up becoming.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">Consider this, if the worlds largest investors&hellip;those that dominate the credit default swap market, along with all derivatives markets&hellip;begin to fear that ALL of their derivatives holdings could be made near-irrelevant at the drop of a hat, then we could be early witness to complete insanity in this MASSIVE and UNREGULATED $1.3 quadrillion marketplace.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">How big is a quadrillion you ask? It&rsquo;s a 1 with 15 zeros. Or how about this&hellip;it&rsquo;s a actually a thousand trillion. It&rsquo;s also an amount that&rsquo;s more than 60 times the entire globes GDP. So&hellip;if the next collapse starts in the derivatives markets&hellip;well, it would make the economic crisis that we&rsquo;ve seen so far look like a walk in the park.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">For now, it looks like the powers that be are willing to do anything and everything to re-inflate the worlds bubble economy. No deleveraging, no real austerity measures, and no economic sanity.&nbsp;&nbsp;We will continue to aggressively buy gold and silver. And, all of this money printing and debt issuance makes shorting government debt all the more attractive.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">The VRA is perfectly positioned to take advantage of every idiotic move our powers that be make. Those that have the courage to make these investments will be the big winners over the next 2-3 years, as this $50 trillion transfer of wealth enters its next phase.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">Also, do whatever possible to make it to WMI's 14th m2 Wealth Conference, December 5-8 in Maui. More details on this in the next update!&nbsp;</p>

<p>Know this; the poverty that&rsquo;s invading the world is due primarily to one single event&hellip;the implementation of fiat currency as a monetary medium of exchange. I have been writing and educating about this most important issue for a decade, and if the 99% of the worlds population that have no clue about the truth of funny money were to wake up one morning with a real understanding of the single biggest fraud ever perpetrated on mankind, we would be witness to fully warranted global unrest on a scale unimaginable&hellip; directed towards those in government/politics/banking (mostly shadow) that are directly responsible.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Watching the riots taking place in and around London are both telling and a shot across the bow, wherever you may live. First, we all know the real reason that riots&hellip;social unrest&hellip;are taking place; the realities of economic depression and the fear that things have almost no chance of getting better. Forget about the governments official unemployment figures&hellip;because those rioting certainly have. Young people, aged 18-30, know that the real rate is 30% (in London and most everywhere else), but they still don&rsquo;t know the root cause for their economic misery.</p>
<p><strong>Before this global crisis is over, that will change.</strong></p>
<p>Since the creation of the Federal Reserve (and sister central banks in crime) the money we use has lost more than 90% of its value. Stop for a moment and let this sink in&hellip;we&rsquo;ve each experienced, thanks to to the mafia of money, a loss in purchasing power of more than 90%!&nbsp; The mainstream press calls this &ldquo;inflation&rdquo;, but this simplistic definition falls so far short of the truth that it would be a joke if the outcome was not so cruel.</p>
<p>But we know the real reason for rising prices and a greatly diminished way of life;&nbsp; currency inflation!&nbsp; Massive amounts of printing of every currency on the globe to fund our bankrupt governments way of life&hellip;this crime against humanity reduces the value of our hard work/savings/investments&hellip;and it does it on a 24/7 basis, robbing us even while we sleep.</p>
<p>So, when you see the riots in London, and when these same riots then come to your own back door, remember this VRA update. You can also find an in-depth discussion on this subject, along with our criminal cabal of &ldquo;leaders&rdquo; behind it, in my book CrashProof Prosperity, WMI&rsquo;s documentary The Conspiracy Against Your Money, and of course the classic by G Edward Griffin, The Creature from Jekyll Island.</p>
<p>Finally, we recently learned&nbsp;that the FED intends to GUARANTEE that interest rates will remain low for the next two years, which in theory will promote economic growth and force money into riskier investments (long term debt and stocks).</p>
<p>This guarantee from Bernanke reminds me of his statement of a few months back when he guaranteed that he could also stop inflation in its tracks. In the future it will be fun to add these current guarantees to the LONG list of past economic events that Bernanke was dead wrong about.</p>
<p>The stock market is collapsing and we&nbsp;are now witness to the next big leg down. Regardless of short term manipulation by the FED, the place to be is VRA recommended securities. Gold, silver, short stocks and debt&hellip;the speed of tumbling dominos can be heard all over the world...and funny money fiat currency is to blame for it all.</p>

<p><img src="http://preview-publish.exigo.com/public/1650/1403994/My%20Images/kip_look_right.jpg" alt="" hspace="8" vspace="8" align="left" />Just over 10 years ago I began writing my investment updates, which became the Vertical Research Advisory (VRA). At first the updates were for my old Wall Street clients&hellip;mostly those that listened to me in 1999/2000 when, just as I was leaving behind a 15 year career, I recommended that they sell stocks and go to cash. What followed was the collapse of the dot-com bubble, and of course the shock and sadness of 9/11, followed by a very tough recession.</p>
<p>But the recession of 2001/2002 brought with it a great buying opportunity as scores of quality blue chip companies could be purchased at prices we would not see again for a very long time. Shortly thereafter, I also began recommending gold and silver and began calling China the &ldquo;Chinese Miracle&rdquo;. These forecasts allowed my growing list of subscribers to make a number of 100% + returns in the years to come.</p>
<hr />
<strong>Flash forward to September 2008, where just before a 40% market drop I warned:</strong>
<p><em>Companies that are leveraged with debt are being taken down one by one. Most major Wall Street firms use leverage of 30-50 to 1. The US banking system uses leverage that even dwarfs this. The risks in the financial markets are as high as they have ever been. We are in very scary times folks&hellip;Wall Street&rsquo;s Frankenstein has now spilled over into Main Street and there is a significant crisis of confidence in our government, in the Federal Reserve, in the overall economy and in our ability to deal with the coming serious recession (or worse). This is exactly why we have been positioning our Members into precious metals and energy and these remain safe havens even today.</em></p>
<p><strong>Then, we witnessed the craziness that our government and money leaders were committed to, long term consequences be damned. Hence my warnings in July 2009:</strong></p>
<blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr">
<p><em>For 8 years I have warned about the dangers of our global fiat currency monetary system...paper currencies backed by nothing of real value...along with the never ending issuance of debt in the US at all levels (government, corporate, state, and consumer) which combined, have bankrupted what was once the planet&rsquo;s most financially powerful country in history. I have written extensively in these updates, and I have shared my concerns at conferences wherever WMI has traveled. In WMI's first m1 Masters Program (2005) we predicted essentially every event that has transpired. I have been consistent in this message with at least 90% accuracy.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<hr />
<p>With the government&rsquo;s help we have allowed the FED to bankrupt our future, and in the near future (3 months or possibly even 3 years) we will learn that all of their manipulation was for naught, and that it actually made the situation 10 times worse than it would otherwise have been. Truly, our children and their children will read of our mistakes and wonder what the hell we were thinking. Why didn't we allow bankrupt companies to simply go bankrupt? Why didn't we allow the natural deleveraging process to take place? And why didn't we maintain a sound monetary system, backed by gold, which would have prevented all of this misery from happening in the first place?</p>
<p>Following Obama&rsquo;s election I wrote a VRA update warning that this was &ldquo;war,&rdquo; meaning that I saw clear signs that the government, as led by Obama/Bernanke, would approach our economic situation just as the military would fight an enemy. And in war, we know that all is fair because the ends justify the means. Since that warning in 2009, it&rsquo;s safe to say that this is exactly what we have witnessed. Now, the unintended consequences of these hyperinflationary acts are unfolding. As of today I am seeing a huge number of the same warning signs that I saw at about this point in 2008. Namely, the stock market and the global economy sending strong signals that reality is about to set in.</p>
<p>&bull;&nbsp; The housing market continues to implode, with price declines and new building permits approaching lows not seen since 2008/2009. As Wayne Allyn Root pointed out recently, this crisis is now worse than it was in the Great Depression with no signs of bottoming. Gary Shilling, the leading expert on the housing market, is now forecasting that home prices still have fall another 20% before we can even talk about a market bottom. The US banking system is simply a massive Ponzi scheme being kept alive on our backs (aka the US government). Should they ever again be forced to use honest accounting practices, EVERY major money center bank in this country would be declared bankrupt and their doors closed for business overnight. And that&rsquo;s exactly what will happen before we reach a true bottom in this ever evolving Greatest Depression.<br /><br />&bull;&nbsp; The other massive problem facing our economy is unemployment. Forget the official 9% unemployment rate&hellip;only suckers and pro-Obama defenders believe this bogus number. The real level of joblessness is in the 15-20% range. Unfortunately&hellip;very unfortunately&hellip;we are years away from a recovery in employment. What highlights the depth of this crisis is the fact that more than $15 trillion has been pumped into the US economy via stimulus, FED money printing, TALF, TARP, QE I, QE II (ad nauseum), and every imaginable form of government loan guarantee, yet employment numbers remain at Depression era levels. Historians will point to this one fact as major proof that Keynesian economics was nothing more than a massive fraud of an idea.<br /><br />&bull;&nbsp; Internationally we&rsquo;ve recently witnessed the economic failures of entire countries. Just so far we&rsquo;ve seen the implosion of Iceland, Greece, Ireland, and Portugal, with Spain next on the docket. Over $1 trillion in freshly printed bailout money appears to have papered over the problem, but as they say, karma is a bitch. Again, the unintended consequences here will devastate the people of Europe. The riots we&rsquo;ve seen so far overseas are nothing compared to what&rsquo;s on the way. Mark my words, a big next shoe is about to drop in Europe, and with it the total collapse of the experiment that was the Euro and the European Union.</p>

<img src="http://preview-publish.exigo.com/public/1650/1403994/My%20Images/hourglass_thumb.jpg" alt="" hspace="8" vspace="8" align="left" />Preparation&hellip;in my writings and advice&hellip;has been consistent for many years. Rid yourself of the vast majority of all fiat currency denominated investments. Sell every bit of real estate that you realistically can. And make sure that you own plenty of gold and silver and that you buy more every chance you get. The end game here is the demise of fiat currency and sovereign government debt, and the only winner is gold/silver&hellip;which after thousands of years remains the only true currency.
<p>Finally, preparation to me has always included one major theme&hellip;individual freedom&hellip;an opportunity to control your own financial destiny by becoming an entrepreneur. <strong>This is why Karl and I founded Wealth Masters International in 2005; to provide an unparalleled master mind group &hellip;a global community unlike any other where like-minded freedom seekers join together to achieve massive success.</strong> The end result has been more than 35,000 Members in over 140 countries, twelve m2 Wealth Conferences and three m3 Private Wealth Groups&hellip;not to mention hundreds of WMI Sponsored domestic and global marketing events to share our unique message.</p>

<p>It was March 2005 and we were in the recording studio working on the first edition of our m1 Masters Program. I prefer not to use a script when working on projects like this, so when I get going its pretty much free flow and one take. After recording for about 45 minutes I stopped to take a break and get a drink of water. That&rsquo;s when I noticed the looks on the faces of the two guys working in the studio&hellip;and I could tell they probably thought I was either a little crazy or ill-informed.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As we played the recording back I&rsquo;m certain they thought I would want to have a do-over. I was warning about the dangers of the Federal Reserve, currency inflation that could lead to hyperinflation, the inherent problems of using a fiat currency, the coming crash in real estate and the stock market, and clear reasons why everyone should move from an outdated, old paradigm lifestyle to a new paradigm mindset that brings with it opportunities for generational wealth creation.&nbsp;</p>
<p>6 years later this month, there&rsquo;s nothing on that first m1 that I wish I would have re-recorded, and the same applies to my partner Karl along with the 10 other expert alliances on wealth, health and wisdom. Together, we&rsquo;ve worked very hard to position our Members, regardless of their current financial situation, for the massive changes that we see coming our way.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The end result is that we&rsquo;ve shown tens of thousands in well over 100 countries how to prepare for the largest transfer of wealth in history. At the same time, our Members have gained life-long access to an incredibly special community of likeminded thinkers&hellip;each working towards complete freedom in their life.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Freedom means different things to different people, but the journey for everyone begins the same. And in every case it begins with learning the <em>real</em> truth about what is happening in the world around you.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the first time ever&hellip;regardless of the country you live in&hellip;.a conspiracy of unprecedented magnitude is unfolding. Globally, a $50 trillion transfer of wealth is underway, and unless you are among the privileged few&hellip;the typically insider&rsquo;s educated elite&hellip;you will almost certainly be on the wrong end of the equation.<strong><em>&nbsp;</em></strong></p>
<p>As we covered in the 2010 WMI documentary, <strong><em>The Conspiracy Against Your Money, </em></strong>this wealth transfer is causing very bad things to happen to very good people, yet few even recognize it, much less know how to deal with it.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many have chosen to bury their heads in the sand, hoping against hope that things will get better. Unfortunately they will not, especially for those that are unprepared for the adversity coming their way. And in this case, that means 99% of the planet&hellip;those caught in an old paradigm mindset.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We&rsquo;ve also remained committed to the belief system that <em>the truth resonates</em>, and that people instinctively recognize the truth when they see it and hear it. The end result is our Members are developing a game plan so powerful that they will not only survive, but prosper enormously going forward. They know that more fortunes are created during times of calamity than at any other time in history, and as a group we&rsquo;ve decided to earn our fair share of this record wealth transfer.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: black;" lang="EN">As of today, we have officially crossed the line that we first began warning about in 2005. Events in the world economy have begun to unfold in seemingly uncontrollable fashion. Clueless governments still don&rsquo;t understand that it was their ruinous actions that created a credit infested, fiat currency based, bankrupt world. They didn&rsquo;t learn this lesson from their mistakes of the 1930&rsquo;s and now it&rsquo;s too late to prevent a similar outcome. They will continue to prescribe the same remedy that caused the problem in the first place, specifically more government bailouts and more printed money. The consequences are clear&hellip;we will see hyperinflation, economic misery, and in many parts of the world, social unrest&hellip;very similar to what we are beginning to witness in the Middle East, North Africa, and even in parts of Europe and the US today.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: black;" lang="EN">Never in history has the world been in a situation when virtually all major industrialized countries are bankrupt at the same time. Many feel that because there is really no precedent for what will happen in the next few years that our future looks bleak, and possibly even frightening.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;" lang="EN">Were I still stuck in my old Wall Street mindset I might share in this dark and pessimistic view. Sure, I am concerned about what is headed our way, and I am extremely concerned for those that remain unprepared. However, there is a big flip side to this coin. Again, it is times just like these where massive wealth is created. The economic uncertainty unfolding will cause many to be scared and unsure of what their future holds. And while some of you reading this may go through periods where you share those same concerns, the most important thing you can do is to maintain a laser like focus on the opportunities that exist all around you. </span></p>
