Inner Earth, Egypt, & Consciousness - Brooks Agnew


Electrical Engineer and Doctor of Physics Brooks Agnew discussed ancient Egypt, new physics, cosmology, consciousness, and time travel. He also shared an update on his planned North Pole Inner Earth Expedition, which could now take place in the summer of 2012 along the Arctic Circle, pending the availability of an icebreaker ship. The expedition also faces funding issues, which has delayed it in the past. Interestingly, he noted there is research that shows there could be a large ocean that lies underneath the crust of the Atlantic ocean.

Finding the Inner Earth could prove to be especially beneficial if the planet faces a global catastrophe, he said. According to a manuscript found in Abydos, Egypt, the ancient Egyptians might have fled to the Inner Earth to escape a cataclysm, possibly at a desert town called Damenhur. As part of Agnew's upcoming Egyptian Tour, they will stop at Damenhur to investigate this location.

Citing how time slows down at the speed of light, Agnew said he is able to experience a kind of time travel while practicing a 17th breath meditation, in which he goes to a world that has a different sky than Earth's. He also talked about physics research that indicates certain particles are coming into our universe from another dimension. There is a missing construct in physics which may involve human consciousness in the formation of matter, he added.

David Icke - The World is Utterly Insane

The very basic truth that Mr. Icke promotes is love. That is all we are or ever will be and once we realize that, only then can we disconnect from the grid and move forward with out fear and control from the "powers" of the world. They can take everything from us, including our lives but they can never take our truth, our love, unless we allow them to. It is the thing they hate us for the most! Love one another and over throw their power!

Bob Chapman Interview On The Collector's Coach Show!!

Bob Chapman : the commercial use of silver is so widespread today and it gains everyday that the entire production of silver each year is taken off by commercial interests and there is not very much above ground silver left , it's been used since 1968 , I do not know how much is out there but if I have to guess certainly not more than a five year supply and so I think that silver's future is very bright ....

Bob Chapman on Gold and Silver discount trading 25 Octb 2010



Bob Chapman wrote in the International Forecaster of the 20th October 2010 :"...One thing we can guarantee is dollar devaluation, versus other currencies and gold and default. This is another lock Americans are going to have to deal with. Social Security and Medicare are already in default. Why do you think government wants to steal your retirement plans? How else can they keep them going with other government spending, such as wars of endless duration and creating employment in a staggering economy? The bank known as Washington has already been broken.


Even Mr. Bernanke, Chairman of the Fed, tells us today’s deficits are unsustainable, but few want to listen. It is just like in 1967 when we predicted that free trade, globalization, offshoring and outsourcing would be used to deliberately destroy the US economy, and no one wanted to listen. It has been a policy that has cost the dollar 98% of its purchasing power. What do you think gold, silver, platinum, palladium and commodities are telling us?...."

Home Price Index Falls 0.2% in August

In Tuesday's release of the S&P's/Case-Shiller home price index, housing prices fell by 0.2 percent in August from the month before. Fifteen of the 20 featured cities showed monthly price declines, and prices are expected to continue to drop in the coming months.
Phoenix saw the largest decline with a 1.3% drop in home prices. Prices in three California cities--San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles--which had previously showed strength, also fell, but by less than 1%.
Detroit, Chicago, Washington, New York and Las Vegas were the only cities to show monthly price increases.
Although the index has risen 6.7% from its lowest level in April 2009, it remains almost 28% below its peak in July 2006.
Housing markets may continue to struggle due to recent complications with foreclosure documents. Would-be buyers are refraining from home purchases because of potentially invalid foreclosure purchases. In an October National Association of Realtors survey, about 23% of real estate agents said they had clients no longer interested in purchasing a foreclosed property due to the foreclosure mess.

Where Should Investors Place Capital In Years To Come?



In 2008, many average investors saw their retirement portfolios fall between 50-60% as global hysteria gripped financial markets as a direct result of the subprime mortgage crisis.  As an accountant, you most likely have clients seeking investment advice; as you advise clients concerning different investment avenues, keep in mind that this is the most uncertain economic period of recent history, and possibly since The Great Depression.  Before we address specific investment vehicles that you may want to discuss with your clients and research yourself, there are few key points that must be understood concerning the macroeconomic environment.
Today, we are two years post-The Great Recession, and the U.S. economic recovery has stalled significantly.  Unemployment is remaining at stubbornly high levels, consumer spending is stalling, and overall economic growth is stagnating.  In late July, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testified before Congress and stated the U.S. recovery is “unusually uncertain.”  This uncertain outlook in the U.S. has caused great uncertainty in the realm of retirement planning and general investment because, to be honest no one is sure what will happen in the U.S. economy over the next 5-10 years; however, one scenario that will most likely not play out is a massive bull run in the stock market.  It is always good to offer clients a general market outlook and make them aware of the possible scenarios in the United States economy over the next few years, and at this time there seems to be 2 distinct possibilities.
The most realistic possibility is that the U.S. will have several years of very slow economic growth that is between 1% and 2.5% GDP.  This extremely slow growth in the U.S. will make it virtually impossible to significantly bring down the unemployment number, and investment opportunities in the U.S. will be scarce for the average investor.  The equity market will most likely move sideways for several years. 
A second possibility is the U.S. economy moves into the another round of recession as measured by two consecutive quarters of contracting GDP.  This would, of course, cause equity markets to sell-off sharply, and general global investor unrest would most likely reach very high levels.  This type of slow growth will cause major problems for the average investor.  A forex platform will offer more volatility.
One of these two possibilities will most likely play out in the U.S.   Twenty and thirty years ago, college graduates in the U.S. were assured of above average gains in the stock market as the U.S. was in a long-term bull market.  That has changed, though.  Those days are over.  As hard as it may be to hear, the U.S. economy will not grow over the next 20 years at the same rate it grew over the last twenty years.
Investors who want yield on their investments over the next 5 years should consider looking to foreign markets.  China, India, Brazil, China, and Russia are emerging markets with huge growth potential.  The growth rates over the next 5-10 years in these countries is huge.
The problem is how can an average investor take advantage of this huge growth potential in emerging markets?  A few practical guidelines should be followed.
1.        Stick to the most developed emerging markets because they have the most political and economic stability and should not collapse as some less stable emerging markets could.  These include China, India, Russia, and Brazil.
2.       Think 1950’s investment in America.  Do this in those countries.  If you can find the GE, Wal-Mart, etc in these developed nations and build a portfolio around them, you should see strong growth for years to come.
3.       Stay away from new technology companies or other companies that are still in infancy.  Any investment in these companies should be done strictly with risk capital, and they should not be a part of your portfolio nucleus.
4.       Invest in large companies in telecommunications, energy, technology, and other major industries.
You can also take advantage of this investment idea by investing in U.S. based mutual funds that are completely exposed to Chinese companies such as Templeton’s Global Opportunities Fund, Matthews’ China fund, or the U.S. Global Investors China Regional Opportunity Fund.
Another option for investors who do not want to put capital at risk in the form of foreign equities is to focus on emerging market bonds.  Emerging market bonds should significantly outperform bonds from developed nations over the next 5 years as interest rates stay at artificially low levels in the developed world.  This interest rate yield spread should entice many investors and cause a massive capital flow into emerging market bonds.
Traders who are going to expose assets to a foreign currency should check forex broker ratings to make sure they are investing with a broker that is reputable.

Own Gold Directly Where it is Cheaper, Easier and Safer – Bullionvault.com


          Own Gold Directly Where it is Cheaper, Easier and Safer – Bullionvault.com


For the weary stock investor, this year has been one filled with uncertainty and volatility, but Gold has prospered, setting new price records with each passing month, and showing no signs of pulling back in the near future.  In fact, Gold prices have been on a tear for the past decade, outstripping any traditional investment instrument in total return.  For the average investor, the question then becomes, “How do I invest in this valuable commodity?”

There are actually a variety of ways.  You can invest directly in gold mining companies or exchange-traded or mutual funds that focus on this sector of the market.  You can buy gold coins at retail prices that are unreasonably inflated, thereby defeating the ability to achieve a decent return.  Lastly, you can invest directly in owning the precious metal by working with a transfer agent that buys the bullion on the market at wholesale and then secures the asset in a formidable vault for safekeeping.

The leader in this field of agents is Bullionvault.com.  This company has been devoted to this primary service since 2005, and their website will both educate you on how to invest in Gold and facilitate the process online.  The key things to know are:

·         You can buy gold here today. You will own proven, pure gold grams of approved bullion market gold;
·         Buying gold bullion directly on a gold exchange gets you a far better gold price;
·         Store the gold you buy in the professional vault of your choice: in New York, London or Zurich.

For those investors that wish to balance their portfolios or prefer owning Gold directly, the process has never been easier.  As with any international dealer that receives monies from across a border, there are necessary precautionary procedures required to validate your identify and comply with regulatory requirements.  For this reason, it is recommended that a basic wire transfer from your bank be used to fund your account.

Before your account is funded, the company will actually give you a gram of Gold to get started.  What could be easier than that?  As for bullion storage charges, as one satisfied customer stated, “The monthly cost is the same as a beer.”  Experts are on hand to help you, and customer testimonials on the Internet have been quite favorable.  Bullionvault.com – The safe way to own Gold!

DOLLAR VALUE DROPPING

The value of the dollar is dropping like a rock and this video is to show how this is affecting the prices of everything from gas to milk. This is the first of several videos to show what is really happening to the economy of the United States and why this country is in a lot of trouble financially.This video is to elaborate on my last video about the dollar and its value.

Gold VS Dollar Educate Yourself

Prices are not going up, when you see their real value in gold and silver. The dollar is collapsing and has been for years. The dollar is now worth about 2 cents compared to 1913. A quarter dollar (in silver) will buy more gas now than in 1947. See how you have been robbed by the banksters and the fed. End the Fed or be a slave!

Bob Chapman We See Totally Surreal Markets

Bob Chapman interview with www.contraryinvestorscafe.com. 20 Oct 2010





An excerpt from Bob Chapman's weekly publication The International Forecaster :
October 20 2010: US dollar finding a temporary bottom, gold, silver, and commodities continue to make sense, mortgage scandals, surreal markets, dollar devaluation guaranteed, record deficits, US finally tries to live within its means.
As we write, the US dollar is in the process of trying to find at least a temporary bottom at 76.50 and to launch a countertrend rally. We would think a rally back to 80 is achievable, but we do not believe it’s sustainable - only some stabilization through the election. Japan drew a line in the sand at 82 and finished last Friday trading at 81.37. That does not smack of success, but we see improvement over the next two weeks.

Whats a US Dollar Worth? : The Fed, Money as Debt

Many ask: What is "Injecting Liquidity"? Do Deficits matter? Where is the US Dollar going with this war spending and Debt?

See more: Paul Grignon's 47-minute animated presentation of "Money as Debt"

"Deficits mean future tax increases, pure and simple. Deficit spending should be viewed as a tax on future generations, and politicians who create deficits should be exposed as tax hikers."
- Congressman Ron Paul

""The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit... In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value... Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the 'hidden' confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."

Australia Housing bubble Bursting

Bursting the Bubble


Episode of "Insight" that deals with the bursting of the Australian real estate bubble. Aired on 9 September 2008.

Gold At $1,750 -- But When?

In 36 months three huge events are likely to happen which will drive the price of gold to $1,750. The first to pop will be the Australia housing bubble (see here: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/money/aus... -- this will lay bare the Australian economy. The second event is the fall of Japan (see here: http://blogs.wsj.com/source/2010/07/1... into bankruptcy, which will not only bring devastation to the Japanese but implode the world's second safe-haven currency, the Yen. The third event will be the Canadian housing bubble (see here: http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/c... and debt bubble (see here: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report... collapse. Furthermore, gold's price is unlikely to significantly fall, because America's total credit market debt as a percent of GDP is at its highest ever (360%) (see here: http://www.pimco.com/LeftNav/Featured... only meaning prolonged stagnation in the world's biggest economy, especially, if the U.S. government insists on creating debt as the private sector tries to pay it off. But that's only part of the 'gold-is-up' argument, because Germany is engaged per quarter in a $1 trillion-plus de-leveraging from the U.S. economy (cash that has helped to finance our domestic investment and economic activity for the last decade), and without it, further Treasury bond market manipulation by the Federal Reserve will occur to fill "the German liquidity gap". That means a broken and contracting U.S. credit system (see here: http://blog.rebeltraders.net/2010/07/... is a given for the future, only meaning a continually sustained strong gold price -- as a broken U.S. credit system means a blinkered U.S. economy with low foreign and corporate investment with concurrent diversification into gold. We would also be remiss to ignore that the London Bullion Market Association's (LBMA) statistics for May show that (see here: http://www.gata.org/node/8858) "*the average net daily trading in gold by LBMA member banks jumped a massive 50 percent from the month before to 24 million ounces each day from 16 million ounces each day. That translates to $7.5 trillion annually. If an operation is running on a razor-thin fractional reserve basis, such step changes are often fatal. It appears that a run on the bullion banks has commenced [which is why the LBMA and BIS is trying to conceal gold swaps information].*" Indeed, and do not be mistaken into seeing pass why the dollar is strong right now -- a falling dollar is unlikely as there are too many global debts denominated in dollars (i.e. too many people who want to unwind their debts and have to get dollars to do so, keeping the price high) but that cannot last forever and that's not a vote in confidence in the greenback. Gold is going to $1,750 in three years -- the only other choices are the Swiss franc (see here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/co... or emerging markets (see here: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/8c6ca37e-96...

Why Gold & Silver - Cash Is Trash

Robert Kiyosaki

Rich Dad Poor Dad



Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad - the international runaway bestseller that has held a top spot on the New York Times bestsellers list for over six years - is an investor, entrepreneur and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom. He has, virtually single-handedly, challenged and changed the way tens of millions, around the world, think about money.


OVER 6 YEARS ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER LIST!
- November 2007 -

In communicating his point of view on why 'old' advice - get a good job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify - is 'bad' (both obsolete and flawed) advice, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage.

Rich Dad Poor Dad ranks as the longest-running bestseller on all four of the lists that report to Publisher's Weekly - The New York Times, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today - and was named "USA Today's #1 Money Book" two years in a row. It is the third longest-running 'how-to' best seller of all time.

Translated into 51 languages and available in 109 countries, the Rich Dad series has sold over 27 million copies worldwide and has dominated best sellers lists across Asia, Australia, South America, Mexico and Europe. In 2005, Robert was inducted into Amazon.com Hall of Fame as one of that bookseller's Top 25 Authors. There are currently 26 books in the Rich Dad series.

In 2006 Robert teamed up with Donald Trump to co-author Why We Want You To Be Rich - Two Men - One Message. It debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list.

Robert writes a bi-weekly column - 'Why the Rich Are Getting Richer' - for Yahoo! Finance and a monthly column titled 'Rich Returns' for Entrepreneur magazine.

Prior to writing Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert created the educational board game CASHFLOW 101 to teach individuals the financial and investment strategies that his rich dad spent years teaching him. It was those same strategies that allowed Robert to retire at age 47.

Today there are more that 2,100 CASHFLOW Clubs - game groups independent of the Rich Dad Company - in cities throughout the world.

Born and raised in Hawaii, Robert Kiyosaki is a fourth-generation Japanese-American. After graduating from college in New York, Robert joined the Marine Corps and served in Vietnam as an officer and helicopter gunship pilot. Following the war, Robert went to work in sales for Xerox Corporation and, in 1977, started a company that brought the first nylon and Velcro 'surfer wallets' to market. He founded an international education company in 1985 that taught business and investing to tens of thousands of students throughout the world. In 1994 Robert sold his business and, through his investments, was able to retire at the age of 47. During his short-lived retirement he wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad.

"We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them." -- Robert Kiyosaki
