The time that all of this will stop will be after the next session of Congress following the midterms where the Republicans will destroy the Democrats.

Then the media will panic that the GOP ruined the economy.

Now of course, both parties are evil.

But the illusion of enemy and foe keeps one side asleep for a time while we're all steered off a cliff.

The political parties are just 2 heads on the same poisonous snake. The founding fathers warned against political parties.

Your crazy if you think we have better politicians than Europe, they are all bad, we have not even begun to see what our politicians are going to do to this country. They are no worse or better than any other politician globally. We just have better laws for now that protect us in the U.S., but they are slowly writting bills and passing then in the midnight to change our constitution to be worthless.

SADLY,.. most people will be duped and lulled into this fantasy and will WILLINGLY opt for the next phase of currency control............. CASHLESS. They will most likely offer debt forgiveness from the current currency system and offer debt free cashless system, in which people will piss away their FREEDOM and PRIVACY for a new slave system !!! People will CHOOSE to be slaves NOT forced... it's all about free will, and people will CHOOSE to be slaves !!! I can't wake people up in any significant number to this Evil plan. I am told my tinfoil hat is too tight........................we will see, I WISH I would be wrong, but I KNOW I am not, it's coming and there is a sucker around every corner going to get in line for this new slavedom world !!!!

If you cant eat or feed your family, you will be forced to freely opt into there new system, which will be million upon millions of Americans doing so. Just like in China, Russia, India and Germany.

I bought a lot of stock into an Organic Oil company, so I will make a lot of money, not as much as you Christopher. Just those who want a cleaner holistic entry of what is coming up the rear.

ROFL. Yeah. I’m working on it. I did what Greg did. Exited completely except for a few jr miners and a couple small oil stocks. But I did it in October. So I have cash and gold and a few speculative bets. Trying to figure out how to protect the cash from a bail in is what keeps me up at night.

Expand full comment

To my knowledge, while banks have bail in provisions, credit unions do not.

Expand full comment

My understanding from Lynette Zang is the credit unions are sponsored by the banks and under those rules are subject some criterias that we may not be aware of.

You can't protect it other then Gold & Silver, Real Estate, tangible items according Lynette Zang of ITM, it's coming and no one can stop it, it is already in effect and working its way through as we speak. It is just a matter of time before it shows it's ugly and dangerous head to the American people who bought the fluff (transitory and peaking).

Ya. Thx. I watch her sometimes. The problem for most is that is just not realistic. You can’t buy groceries with gold. Nobody can realistically exist out of the banking system. Except the ultra poor and the ultra rich. Which is interesting g if you think about it.

I have a decent gold allocation, decent silver, cash split in multiple accts, 10-15% equities. I’m Clearly overweight in cash. But without a decent cash holding one will be in no position to quickly and easily take advantage of opportunity that might show up down the line. If one moves it all to gold and takes possession, there may be no way to turn that into cash, and if there is, it takes 7-10 days minimum to do that. The opportunity will be gone. I store 75% of my metals in a private vault. She doesn’t like that. But we live on a boat. I can’t store a lot of metal or cash on a boat. Far to many risks, security, sinking, CG boarding (no 4th amendment protection on a boat). And right now buying real estate seems totally wrong cause it’s going to crash hard.

I guess you just have to do the best you can with what you have to work with and realize that sometimes it’s just not gonna be enough.

Yes the ultra poor like my wife's parents. They live on 20 acres of land and grow rice, mangoes, bananas, dragon fruits, avocados, lemons, peppers, chili, oranges, eggplants, tomatoes, bamboo shoots, and more, have no debt, their electric bill for running the water pump is about $15/month. They are free of anxiety. The vaccine trucks come b y weekly and try to inject them, and they just tell them "We are old already and we know we are going to die. We do not need any injections."

Yes this is in northeast Thailand, about 550 km NE of Bangkok, my wife's native place. Definitely happier than 99 percent of the people in the USA. And much healthier eating only food from your own place without any poisons on it.

Wow. Great story. I’ll bet they are healthier and happier than 99% of the people in the US. Can you satisfy my curiousity as to their country of domicile?

Realize, they are trying to cut off all avenues of escape out of the beast system, so they may start banning gold/silver selling unless it is a government you are selling it to.

Expand full comment

Yes, you are right. However it depends on how much gold/silver you are trying to convert. I have tried some of the gold shops and cashed in a large amount to test it, I got a certain amount right there and then, but we don't know what the future holds or how it will really all work, so like you said: I guess you just have to do the best you can with what you have to work with and realize that sometimes it’s just not gonna be enough.

Expand full comment

yes I know how you feel. Cash is risky too now, what to speak of its value being decimated by inflation every day. Greg's JEPI is a good pick, and I love these small oil trusts like SJY and SBR and CRT. They have virtually no operating costs. They just receive the cash and distribute monthly. When oil and natural gas go up, the income increases and when they go down it decreases.

Expand full comment

One other thing I thought you might find of interest, regarding small oil trusts. I am the 3rd largest SH and a Board member of Baywood Corp. it is a privately held gas/oil royalty firm holding mineral rights on a few hundred acres in northern MI. Family and close friends business for 30 years. 58 SH and we’ve paid out nearly 4 million in total dividends. It’s a long story but our cost of investment Capitol was zero. So it’s all free money. 7 gas and one oil well currently operating. We’ve had to cut our dividend in half due to the Whitmer war on gas and oil producers. Via executive fiat her administration only allows the wells to run 12 hours per day. The producer turns them on and off by satellite. They really only produce now 10 hours per day due to ramp up and cool down. Many of our SH have depended on their dividend for decades and have no way to replace the income. I used to be a lawyer and I fought with state govt for 25 years and we are working with some of the other similarly situated companies to try and get this reversed. It’s not going to happen unless we get a new governor. And since they are going to steal the election again our chances are about zero. We also had private testing done and we think we could be sitting on a Potash gold mine. But the state refuse to issue the drill permits for actual exploration. They claim it’s too disruptive to the environment. We are fighting that as well.

It’s just so strange that I’m involved and benefitting from this and never thought to look for other similar opportunities in the public market. Our yearly dividend used to be 12-24 cents per share, now it is have that due to the restrictions. It’s free money though so I don’t complain. I inherited my shares from my dad. Who inherited from his dad. Who inherited them from an aunt.

Wow! Thank you for writing and explaining this. Our "governments" are no longer our friends, with exceptions in a few states? I learned about these oil trusts watching YouTube about 18 months ago and just loved the idea of monthly income. And looking at the financial statements the income is nearly all profit because there are no operating costs. I have been reinvesting the dividends each month too, so the capital is increasing. Just added CRT to my portfolio along with SBR and SJT. No matter what the MSM says, I firmly believe that the world is not going to stop using oil derived energy within my lifetime. I believe they know it too.

Expand full comment

A few states maybe. But that could change based on an election. Can you put (assuming you are willing) all the tickers you presently have in a response. Or maybe you already did. CRT. SBR. SJT.

I only have 3 stock sectors. Oil/LNG. Miners. Meme. I got rid of everything else and went to cash. And gold and silver. And the meme stock are just for fun. But our chat made me consider, I really have no income producers.

I’ll be taking a look at a new one over the weekend. EQT. LNG producer, I think now the largest in US. Based on what I think I know, great balance sheet, massive free cash flow, decent dividend.

Expand full comment

Yes I own some EQT also. Also MAIN, XOM, DVN, ARCC, ENB, ET, EPD, IRM, MLPX, and I now have JEPI as Greg is buying it and I like the dividend and the strategy the fund follows. I also have some QYLD, which is good income, the shares have fallen with the NASDAQ.

And I hear that is not even enough, you will need 5-10 years to just make it. This country will be torn to shreds and become a 3rd world country, no outs. They will keep you poor.

The challenge, which none of us can address, is the timing. Next month? Next year? 5 years?

Get lucky and get it right and you have a chance. Get it wrong and become a serf.

Expand full comment

Yes, please let us all know when you get the timing figured out! Lol.

It does seem like it should be sooner rather than later, when people start getting hungry it's going to be a problem.

Expand full comment

Thank you. I’ll check those out. I own a couple small oil producers, both with little or no debt, and free cash flow even at 60 per barrel. One has done great, the other not so great. And then a few select jr miners, a couple of which could literally be a 30-40x return over the next 3 years. Or they could go broke. I sold most equities in October-November. What is left, other than mentioned above I’ve been selling into the rally and using the cash to buy more gold. I am missing any income producers like JEPI or your mentions. Which I should fix. Thanks again.

A brief HISTORY OF the Corporate takeover of the United States of America. During the Civil War, the Constitutional Republic abandoned Congress, causing President Lincoln to institute martial law. The de jure republic was taken over by foreign insurgents, who replaced it with THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC., see the Act of 1871. This corporation went bankrupt in 1912 because of Reconstruction Era bonds, and forfeit to the holders of those bonds; the European banking interest behind the FEDERAL RESERVE. Maritime salvage liens were placed on every asset of the now Federalized States, as a surety on the debts incurred by the bond holders.

In 1933 US INC. went bankrupt again; a gold seizure and income tax were imposed on the people to pay off the foreign bankers. None of this was done in full disclosure (42 CFR 1001.1101, USC 12 sec 12 1831 n (a)(2)(A) CFR 12 741.6 (b), and such, it is not binding. The people are in fact the creditors, and not the debtors (this is why you have a birth certificate and SSN, for they are banknotes, negotiable instruments that makes you the collateral thru contracts of privileges and benefits). Due to ignorance and inaction, people give tacitly and consented to pay back the fraudulent debt, and remain under the control of the foreign "government", and voting gives your consent for a Congressman and President today, which means acquiescence to the illegitimate rule of a foreign corporation, see Organic Act 1871, Federal Reserve Act 1913, USC 12 sec. 95 (a, b), Emergency Banking Act 1933. None of these people have real authority, and the order followers do not know and understand the laws just like the people, the GOVS are the reflections of the people, if the people are lawless then the Gov's and others will be also.

Thank you Gregory! I appreciate all the learning you have offered and I love your humor and especially the faces you make. It gives me a laugh which helps under the circumstances.

I'm in Las Vegas. Hope to meet in person sometime!

Fascinating. This is such a great community on Greg’s channel. I’ve learned so many interesting things here. I can honestly say we used to be happy. When we were cruising and our home was wherever we went. For years it was pretty cheap, we ate local food, solar provided most of our electricity, desalinated most of our water, did all our own maintenance, met hundreds of fascinating people, lived through 4 hurricanes. But Covid destroyed all that. It got harder as the years went but as more and more countries stopped allowing anchoring and forced the use of mooring balls. That added to the cost and the risk. Then Covid came, foreigners were not wanted, and the US East coast is expensive and except for NC and SC not very friendly for cruisers or liveaboards. So it’s no fun anymore. We still live on the boat, now in MI, for 7-8 months. Until just before the ice starts to solidify. Then we rent somewhere for 4-5 months. But it’s not the same. We would love to buy a small house in the woods. But until and unless prices fall we refuse to overpay. I’m 67. My wife is 66. If we wait to long we will be too old to go live in the woods. So we debate the issues every day which causes anxiety. I’m jealous of your wife’s parents. To me it sounds like a wonderful life. I’ll bet every day has a purpose, and in that purpose there is meaning.

Good morning Greg. I was sent this video of Dr. David Martin just now. There is a lot of valuable information in this. It is of course not sharable on many platforms. Well worth hearing.

Magic Money?????????

TRIX ARE FOR KIDS!

Keynesians believe that the printing of money is INFINITE! A country in Berlin called Weimar Republic did the same; then Hitler got even more power with the financial ruin plus the Versailles Agreement for gold reparations. Will History repeat itself?

WHAT WAR AND FINANCIAL RUIN AND NWO WILL COME FROM THIS "WEIMAR REPUBLIC"?????????????????

Let me know what you think about the future of THE WORLD with these conditions coming into effect again! I will be getting a suntan in my rental condo in Barranquilla, Colombia on the Caribbean when you are pondering this in OECD countries!
