No one understands money the way the people to create it do. Even the best businessman has only a very vague notion of what money is, and what it can do. Normal people have absolutely no idea.
This knowledge gap is enormous. We are talking about not just the financial aspect of money, but the control aspect. The concept of money that can be used to baffle not just ordinary people, but kings and politicians and economists and intellectuals, to gain control of all of them.
I once read a book which gave a small glimpse onto the possibility that money is different from what we know it to be. The author kept saying "You have to see the money not with your eyes, but with your minds eye."
Took many years to understand what he meant, and it changed my life. But took even longer to understand this is just pulling one curtain back, there are multiple curtains behind it.
Every person needs to be taught completely and fully what money is and only then we can even begin to have a hope that this kind of thing will not happen fully.
"Some readers have said that if I am going to criticize Kiyosaki’s book, I must offer a version of how to better yourself that does not have the flaws of Rich Dad Poor Dad. No problem. That would be my book Succeeding, which, somewhat to my surprise, is my top seller of the 38 different books I sell."
John T Reed isn't exactly unbiased here.
I found the value of RDPD not in the exact advice it gave, but in the mindset change. Basically it prods you to start thinking and acting more like the 1% does.
I just read some of the critiques from the Reed link above. I consider all of them to be accurate.
This is why I do not ever advocate for Kiyosaki. He is a huckster. But thinking in terms of assets vs liabilities, seeking rents as opposed to salary, and having multiple streams of income are all excellent thoughts. Most of his "how to" stuff is questionable at best. He also seems to always be ahead of any new idea. Silver? Oh yeah I have great big piles of silver. Bought it decades ago. Real Estate? Yeah I have thousands of rental properties and I've figured out how to maintain the properties for pennies, and everyone always pays on time.
Agree with your thoughts. The critiques aren't wrong per se. I should have clarified that. It just raises a question when the critic clearly has an agenda.
Gets you out of the "work for a living" mentality (slave/serf/factory worker mentality) and more into the investor mentality (rent seeking, assets not liabilities, etc.)
I often think Kiyosaki is a clown/huckster. He's always doing the "Wink-wink what's behind the next door will cost you but it's worth it. Only offered to my good friends!!!" tactic. But I equally think that first book is worth owning and reading.
Interesting.... Rdpd changed my life, so it will always have a place for me. It did teach me about passive income. I'm a high school drop out, and own 2 businesses. So it's not worthless as a book, though I see the points he made also. I'll need to read succeeding now.
I used to be in the the thrift store mode every day, what with the lockdown and unwelcome mask mandates, I have been able to separate myself from the habit and because the thrifts now take their precious metals to the refineries for 94% of spot, there's nothing in the junk jewelry bags for incentives. I have evolved to the position of NOT selling my assets for fiat dollars any more-that includes my collectibles. When PM backed money arrives on the scene, then it'll be a fire sale... ?
Why not sell and buy gold and silver with the fiat? You can at least save some space and PMs are still available right now, but maybe not after a fiat collapse.
I flip goods from yard sales & flea markets. I try to buy things with inherent value rather than "collectible", chainsaws, camping gear, bicycles, etc. And I only keep enough cash around to enable more purchases. I try to get it back into hard goods as quickly as possible. Have always done it this way because of the vagaries of "money", have never trusted it fully.
If I had known of bitcoin back in the "pennystock" days, I had money then and a way to acquire it, I might have done so. As it is, I am skeptical of its future considering how power hungry the mining computers are.. Right now , if I had any, I would cash it out and buy silver.. I have quite a bit left and also converted gifted gold, platinum and diamond to American silver currency along with cash. Waiting for "the best is yet to come" to have a fire sale!!
Both of those require money to shop-our local flea market has a stupid mask mandate even though it is mostly outdoors on a 100 acre lot. cognitive dissonance for sure.. I don't go where my exemption is not honored..
I'm in a very blue VERY blue area and I followed for a while but my ex who is a good friend of mine, we spent a day together talking shit and sharing theories and the like. She hasn't followed the mandate from the get go and I watched her waltz into places no mask and no problem.
So that day I took mine off and went to stores and the like buying shit and no one gave me shit. So I stopped following.
Even in a vape shop with a hipster soy boy behind the counter who was nervous but very polite. It was actually a very pleasant interaction on my end. Wished me a great day twice as I was walking out haha.
I also sound like a wop, wear wifebeaters and have gold chains and bracelets out the ass so he probably thought I was trouble lmao.
Anyway our governor recently dropped the mandates so now I see like 1 or 2 other people in stores maskless, 95% still wear them religiously.
If you like to know more about the rigged casino find the original writings by Patrick Byrne about his experience taking Overstock to IPO and what he found about wall street.
The top "investment" (extortion/fraud) firms have set up the US exchange so they are always at the front of the line in any trade. So that means they have effectively created infinite money with zero risk. And if it falls over, ever, at any time... they just have their Congress Critters write them a bailout check.
Even if you do own property, you have to pay taxes on it every year or the government can take it away. In the end do you really own something that can be taken away by Uncle Sam at a moment's notice? And what about if you want to give you what you "own" to your kids. 50% of it will go to Uncle Sam. You have to pay all sorts of tricks to see that most of it goes to your kid. Usually you have to start giving it to your kids piece by piece before you even die.
My parents paid off their house in 10 years back in mid-century. Their mortgage was around $150.00. What difference did it make? When you are too old to work you still have to pay hundreds and in some states thousands in property tax every month alone. They never really lived rent free after all.
They try very hard to be apolitical and for the most part are successful. They don't embrace Q but that is No surprise in the normie world. A few Bernie GIFs mean nothing. We should know by now to appreciate The small steps in Joe public's awakening. You are either ignorant and going off of someone else's opinion or A shill paid by the Banksl
Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. Understanding that powerful people are trying to prevent us from being self reliant is key, but understanding the next step is what differentiates patriots from communists.
These are like a bunch of other folks, who experience redpill in a specific area and wake up just to that area, but close their eyes to everything else.
Another example is Thomas Wictor's Quodverum board. Those guys are fully awake about Trump and election fraud, but you mention anything about Covid or Wall Street, they ban you.
Its just frustrating that people who had the oppurtunity to fully wake up refuse to do so.
The best thing Bernie did was draft a large pool of lefties into his orbit then shit on on them, take the payout, and get in line with the DNC. That shook the bros up and although it didn't fully wake them, it did make them open to the fact that something stunk really bad.
I had a thread a few months ago before WSB fell apart that these are our brothers in arms, only they're fighting a battle on a different front.
The funny thing is, many of them are seething libs otherwise, and don't realize that they're waging the same battle we are against the political establishment/fake news.
Wait till he realizes that is what BLM is calling white privilege. Work, work, work, pay, pay, pay. Have a business rob you blind, the government helps them, and calls you crazy or akensides yo ass if you say a word of proof publicly.
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” - Thomas Jefferson
My view on where I am in life is , we are all just serfs working the fields still. The only change is that through inflation the 1 penny a year that was earned back then is now 80K. Nothing’s changed, just the terminology.
The housing isn't about rent money. It's about storing fake money in something valuable before the money collapse. If they do not, they'll never get to launder their counterfeit money into our new currency and will be destitute.
Wondering if this is going on across the country or in certain areas. For a couple of years, when I would go into a realtor site to look for available properties to move further from town, there would be very few homes for sale that weren't under contract already. I just chalked it up to the interest rates being low but now with this revelation I am questioning whether it's just a big corp buying up the local available housing as it hits the market.
There are certain Insurance Safeguards in place that cover the Market Makers. I believe the amount is north of $5 trillion, but if they default also, the FED Reserve may be the only one left holding the bag.

What an excellent and well thought out comment. Thank you.
You’ve said it more succinctly than I could, but I’m right with you.
Money is just a means to end. It’s what it can get you that some of these malignant forces are after.
Conversely, or maybe even similarly... I don’t care about money. The amount I amass means nothing to me beyond what it contributes to my security.
I am not rich by any means, but I have double what I actually need.
And I need very, very little.
Exactly this.
I read something not too long ago that money is a currency of power. Power over people.
Well put.
Ok. How about you start. In 120 words or less what is your definition of "Money"
What book was this?
"Rich Dad, Poor Dad"
Robert does know his shit.

Exactly. Work vs invest is a huge point. But yes he's a bit of a clown too.
He wrote a book with Trump, did he not ?
Is RDPD the one where he rented comic books to the neighbor kids?
Interesting.... Rdpd changed my life, so it will always have a place for me. It did teach me about passive income. I'm a high school drop out, and own 2 businesses. So it's not worthless as a book, though I see the points he made also. I'll need to read succeeding now.
Greatest impact on my life as far as books go.
I used to be in the the thrift store mode every day, what with the lockdown and unwelcome mask mandates, I have been able to separate myself from the habit and because the thrifts now take their precious metals to the refineries for 94% of spot, there's nothing in the junk jewelry bags for incentives.

???

Silver for the long haul and lead for the short term.
Right now, I have NO crazy money at all I'm running my monthlies off my SS-the next stimulus will see me going to buy $1,000 worth of silver.
I flip goods from yard sales & flea markets. I try to buy things with inherent value rather than "collectible", chainsaws, camping gear, bicycles, etc. And I only keep enough cash around to enable more purchases. I try to get it back into hard goods as quickly as possible. Have always done it this way because of the vagaries of "money", have never trusted it fully.
What do you think of the cryptos that claim to be fully backed by PM ?
If I had known of bitcoin back in the "pennystock" days, I had money then and a way to acquire it, I might have done so. As it is, I am skeptical of its future considering how power hungry the mining computers are.. Right now , if I had any, I would cash it out and buy silver.. I have quite a bit left and also converted gifted gold, platinum and diamond to American silver currency along with cash. Waiting for "the best is yet to come" to have a fire sale!!
Oh I hear ya. I am completely out of bitcoin. Its not backed by anything, let alone PM and it on top of that its now a captured operation.
I was referring to the cryptos such as Ripple.
The onlyest Ripple I know about, I drank a bit.. had me at strawberry... ?
But not following about any other clever forms of computer generated "wealth"..
Yeah flea markets and garae sales are your best bet for sterling and the likes.
Both of those require money to shop-our local flea market has a stupid mask mandate even though it is mostly outdoors on a 100 acre lot. cognitive dissonance for sure.. I don't go where my exemption is not honored..

The silver market proves to me we live in a rigged casino.
In any real, fair market, Jamie Dimon and his ilk would be in prison, or worse.

So do we really "own" anything?

I think there is some fuckery a foot there...
Someone posted a picture of trump, I said, best president ever.
Upvotes went up pretty fast then suddenly I went massively negative.
These are like a bunch of other folks, who experience redpill in a specific area and wake up just to that area, but close their eyes to everything else.

They got away with it because most people don't understand it.
Like me, lol. I don't have the brain cells to compute what all this is about. Finance and stocks make my brain hurt.
I believe the only investment that will be assured are the prayers you invested to save your soul and the souls of your Frens here on GAW and IRL.
The world has gotten to where we are now because of lack of prayer and lack of morals. The devil has taken a hold of the world.
But
We still have time to mitigate the pain, by praying, asking forgiveness for our sins and truly giving our lives to God.
That my Fren is the only investment that will count in the final judgement.
I had a thread a few months ago before WSB fell apart that these are our brothers in arms, only they're fighting a battle on a different front.

The Awakening is usually a painful process.
If this vax ends up killing hundreds of millions, just think of what it will do to housing prices, and who will go in to buy those houses.
My view on where I am in life is , we are all just serfs working the fields still. The only change is that through inflation the 1 penny a year that was earned back then is now 80K. Nothing’s changed, just the terminology.
Quiet peasant! BACK IN THE FIELD!

Satanists at work that's how
Mix in a few generations of good living, a steady stream of propaganda or brainwashing and as the saying goes.
Hard times make strong people. Strong people make good times. Good times make weak people. Weak people make hard times.
I thought this also fellow Ape. I think we are part of the plan. The cabal can eliminate any person or institution from stopping their scam.
But can they stop a million retail people from exposing the scam once the places like S#itadel, DTC, FED etc all fail?
Probably not.
I'm hopeful once they fall, the media will be unable to stop the scam stockwave from informing everyone in the world.
Yes, I'm banking on "enjoy the show" and "game over/power to the players" to expose it further. ??
There are certain Insurance Safeguards in place that cover the Market Makers. I believe the amount is north of $5 trillion, but if they default also, the FED Reserve may be the only one left holding the bag.
