A new mega-rich will rise

An educated slave class was a dangerous slave class. Today, we fail to teach kids to be financially literate. It is another way of creating slaves - wage slaves. Conditioned Response Immediately after leaving school, most kids begin to look for a job, save money, buy a house, and invest for the long term in a well-diversified portfolio of mutual funds. Now that millions are losing their jobs, what do they do? They go back to school to get retrained, look for a new job, try to save money, pay their mortgages, and invest for their retirement in mutual funds. And they teach their kids to do the same. Ivan Pavlov won a Nobel Prize in 1904 in Phsyiology and Medicie for his research on the digestive system of dogs. Today, when we hear the term Pavlov's dogs , it refers to conditioned response. Going to school to get a high-paying job, saving your money for a house, and investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks and mutual funds is an example of a conditioned response. Many people can...

The formula for manifestation in our physical universe is known to be ‘thoughts lead to feelings, which lead to actions, which lead to results.’ Most people have plenty of thoughts and feelings but the breakdown for many seems to be the ability to take ‘ACTION’. The culprit , of course, is fear. That is why to succeed in life you must cultivate the trait of courage.

"Intergenerational" Bank Robbery by Bankers.

When it comes to money people are smart - but only if they can see, touch, and feel it. To diminish our natural financial smarts, we had to be financially dumbed down. This was achieved through banking, a complex and confusing system by which money is created. ( what is the name of the game ). In many ways the modern monetary system makes no sense to a logical person. For instance, how can it create trillions of dollars out of thin air? .... All banks, big or small, are effectively granted the license to print money. You don't need a mask to rob banks. All you need to do is own one. People have a tough time understanding money today. If you are an honest, hardworking person, it probably doesn't make much sense to you how banks create magic money. The conspiracy of the rich diminishes our financial intelligence through a monetary system that honest people don't understand. Owning a bank is not only a license to print money - it is also license to steal money, legally. I am n...

The key to financial freedom

The key to financial freedom and great wealth is a person's ability or skill to convert earned income into passive income. That is the skill that my rich dad spent a lot of time teaching me. Having that skill is the reason my wife, Kim and I are financially free, never needing to work again. We continue to work because we choose to. Today we own a real estate investment company for a passive income and participate in private placements and initial public offerings of stock for portfolio income. Investing to become rich requires a skills essential for financial success as well as low-risk and high-investment returns. The problem is that gaining the basic education and experience required is often consuming, frightening, and expensive, especially when you make mistakes with your own money. - Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad, Poor Dad Author

Grunch of Giants - Gross Universe Cash Heist (Grunch)

by Buckminster fuller Grunch of Giants moves from kings and queens of thousands of years ago to modern times. It explains how the rich and powerful have always dominated the masses. It also explains that modern-day bank robbers do not wear masks. Rather, they wear suits and ties, sport college degrees, and rob banks from the inside, not the outside. Simply put, war is profitable. War is often about greed, not patriotism. Money and power will always cause people commit corrupt acts. Another example of the corruption of money and power is spending over half a billion dollars to be elected the president of the United States, a job that pays only $400,000. Spending money like that on an election is not healthy for our country.

Hijacking the Education System

We are taught to work for the rich, shop at the stores of the rich, borrow money from the banks of the rich, invest in the business of the rich via mutual funds in our retirement plans - but not how to be rich . Many people do not like hearing they are taught by our school system to be caught in the web, the web of the conspiracy of the rich. People do not like to hear that the rich have manipulated our system of education. Hijacking the Education System Keep in mind that the General Education Board was founded in 1903 by the Rockefeller Foundation - one of the most powerful and wealthiest foundations of its time. What we see here is an attitude that dates back over a hundred years, one of the elite rich of the United States, and even the world, seemingly orchestrating education curriculum to meet their needs and not necessarily the needs of the student . This is important today, because although these attitudes are over a century old, they have not gone away, and they are the driving...

Preparing for a German-Type Depression

Savers were losers because money was worth less and less as more and more of it was pumped into the system. A depression was caused as inflation set in. If there is a depression coming, will cash be king or will cash be trash? Preparing for a German-Type Depression A few people are preparing for a German-style depression. These people are accumulating gold and silver coins, some cash, and investments that adjust for inflation. Examples of such investments are oil, food, gold and silver stocks, and government-sponsored housing.

Why the Cheap Will Never Get Rich

Choosing to remain financially uneducated has caused them to miss out on the greatest bull and bear markets in history. As my rich dad often said, " What you don't know keeps you poor. " In the world of money and investing, you must learn to control your emotions. When you think about it, three of our biggest financial decisions in life are made at times of peak emotional excitement: deciding to get married, buying a home, and having kids . :D "High emotions, low intelligence." To be rich, you need to see the good and the bad, the short- and long-term consequences of your decisions. Obviously, this is easier said than done, but it's key to building wealth. Know the difference between advice from rich people and advice from sales people . Most people get their financial advice from the latter -- people who profit even if you lose. One reason why financial education is so important is because it helps you know the difference between good and bad advice. As th...

Definite signs of trade recovery

During the last five weeks, we at Westports have seen a recovery of the volumes and at the end of March 2009, we were able to handle 355,000 TEUs per month. .... Alternatively, it could be due to inventory corrections where prudent managers everywhere cancelled all orders only to realise that their inventories are depleted. As such, between April and June, we will begin to notice that the world would not only reinstate their inventory levels, but also increase their orders simply because life must go on . .... When we look at each of the regions specifically and identify opportunities, it is not all gloom and doom. The main media and world leaders are happy to project the world as one that is in a crisis, worse than the Great Depression, or the post Second World War. However, we grew out of both in great style. In the last 50 years, the technology and development experienced in the world is far superior to what was achieved in the past 2,000 years before that. As such, let’s all talk a...

The last depression never ended

In other words, stepping back and looking over the past seventy-five years, the last depression never ended; the socialist solutions created to keep it at bay just keep getting more expensive. In 2009, the world governments are again sponsoring make-work programs. The primary reason governments sponsor make-work programs is to keep people fed. If people are not fed, history shows they begin turning on their governments. The greatest fear of government officials is political unrest, which can lead to revolution. The last depression never ended. The problems were pushed forward, and today, they have grown bigger, more expensive, and dangerous.

This is the fastest growing business that you can do with minimal investment. DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF CREATING MULTIPLE SOURCES OF INCOME If everyone knows that creating an MSI is important then why do only a few succeed? Many of those who want to create an MSI would go into traditional MSI opportunities like Network Marketing, Unit Trust, Insurance, Land Banking, etc and a majority of them fail at it. It is not that these are bad ideas; it is just that it is not for everybody. Then there are others who have lots of "income opportunities" to choose from but still fail because of their inability to manage and focus their limited time on them. This preview will definitely give you a cl...

I did not seek job security

I did not seek job security - I did not let the fear of financial insecurity dictate my life. Learning from my business mistakes was the best business school I could have attended. And I am still in that school today. In recent years, while the stock and real estate markets were booming and fools were rushing in to invest, I did not let greed take over my logic. Today, during this economic crisis, I have the same fears as everyone else. Rather than see only the crisis, I do my best to see the opportunities the crisis presents.

Invest for Cash Flow, Focus and Specialize

The rich understand that in today's economy you cannot become wealthy by sticking your money under a mattress - or even worse, in a bank. They know that the key to wealth is investing in cash-flowing assets . Today, you need to know how to spend your money on assets that retain their value, provide income, adjust for inflation, and go up in value. Rather than diversify, wise investors focus and specialize. They get to know the investment category they invest in and how the business works better than anyone else. For example, when investing in real estate, some people specialize in raw land and others in apartment buildings. While both are investing in real estate, they are doing so in totally different business categories. When investing in stocks, I invest in businesses that pay a steady dividend (cash flow). Smart investors understand that owning a business that adjusts to the ups and downs of the economy or investing in cash-flowing assets is much better than owning a diversifie...

Compounding Interest and Compounding Inflation/Deflation

When a banker raves about of the power of compounding interest, what he or she fails to also tell you about is the power of compounding inflation - or in today's crisis, the power of compounding deflation. Inflation and deflation are caused by governments and banks attempting to control the economy by printing and lending money out of thin air - that is, without anything of value backing the money other than the "full faith and credit" of the United States. For years, people all across the globe have believed that U.S. bonds are the safest investment in the world. For years, savers dutifully bought U.S. Bonds, believing that was the smart thing to do. At the start of 2009, thirty-year U.S. Treasury bonds are paying less than 3 percent interest. To me, this means there is too much funny money in the world , savers will be losers, and in 2009, U.S. bonds could be the riskiest of all investments. If you don't understand why that is, don't worry. Most people don'...

Socialism Taking Control

Recession and depressions correct the mistakes made and reveal the crimes committed during the boom times. Rather than let the bear market do its work, we let the government pay billions of dollars in bailout money to bankers who loaded the world with fraudulent debt when we should be sending those bankers to jail. Executives who are firing thousands of workers are given cash bonuses and golden parachutes as the businesses they were entrusted with protecting and growing instead contract and, as the company's share price drops, investors lose their money. That is NOT capitalism. Today's bailout government is socialism - for the rich. Related: Bailout is welfare for the rich

Bailout is welfare for the rich

The lack of financial education in our schools has resulted in millions of free people who are willing to let the government take more control over their lives. Because we do not have enough financial intelligence to solve our own financial problems, we expect the government to do it for us. In the process, we surrender our freedom and give the government more and more control over our lives and our money. Every time the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury "bail out" a bank we are not helping the people; we are protecting the rich. A bailout is welfare for the rich. With each bailout, we surrender more of our financial freedom and our share of public debt grows and grows. Big government taking over our banks and solving our personal financial problems through government programs such as Social Security and Medicare is a form of socialism. I believe socialism makes people weaker and keeps them weak. In Sunday school, I was taught to teach people how to fish- not to give peop...

Inflation - the silent tax on the middle class and savers

It is important to note that prior to 1913, there was no income tax in America. The income tax was established to provide the government with enough cash to pay the interest due to the Federal Reserve. So, in essence, the Fed is responsible for both the silent tax of inflation and the overt income tax that takes money out our pockets and puts it into the pockets of the rich. Today, the dollar is a free-floating currency backed by nothing but the good faith and credit of the U.S. government. Now that the government has the authority to print debts into oblivion, what do you think it's going to do? Who cared about gold when those who controlled our government and our banks could now print money at will? Related: The Bretton Woods Agreement The Biggest Wealth Transfer in World History

Better Definitions for Recession and Depression

In 2008, more than 2 million Americans lost their jobs. In Feb 2009 alone, more than 651,000 jobs were lost. ------------------------------ In spite of all this financial bad news, it took a year for economists to figure out that we were in a recession. I wonder how long it will take for them to declare a depression. Obviously we need better definitions of recession and depression - or at least better economists! Personally, I have a simple definition of recession and depression. To quote the old saying: If your neighbor loses his job we are in a recession. If I lost my job, we are in a depression.

The Bretton Woods Agreement

In 1944, a meeting of international banking leaders was held at a resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire-the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference. This conference resulted in the creation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. While popular perception is that these two agencies were created for the good of the world, they have actually resulted in a lot of harm - foremost of which is the spread of a fiat monetary system throughout the world. In 1971,when the dollar was severed from gold, the IMF and the World Bank required the rest of the world to separate from the gold standard, as well, or be excluded from their club . The IMF and World Bank required the world's banks to shift their money to fiat currency, currency not backed by gold and silver, similar to pre-World War II Germany's currency. In other words, the United States, the IMF, and the World Bank began exporting Germany's type of monetary system, wheelbarrow money, to the world. T...
