When I lived in Japan, my friend and professional colleague Okamoto-san, informed me of a popular saying in Japan – “the nail that sticks out the most will be hammered down”. In informing me of this saying, I witnessed this Ruling Class expression repeatedly run its course not only in the Asian hemisphere when I lived there, but also frequently rear its head in the earlier years I had lived in the United States. Today, the Ruling Class still deploys this philosophy to intimidate billions of people to unquestioningly follow their rules. Hundreds of millions today are terrified to challenge “woke” culture today, even if they disagree with it with every fiber in their body, for fear of being cancelled or “hammered down”.
And this type of fear that the Ruling Class has imposed upon all of humanity in 2023, in which the majority among us understands that if we do anything to stand out from the rest of our peers and do not participate in group think, that we consequently will be selected by the mob for elimination, has had horrible consequences upon the ability of truth to proliferate about any topic. Instead of dissent and individuality being a net-positive for society as it always has been and still is, the Ruling Class has positioned independent thought as a crime and has used fear and a loss of financial livelihood to threaten, intimidate and hammer down the independent thoughts of 99% of individuals. In the past, self-censorship was only engaged in by journalists as they witnessed those that told the truth suffer negative consequences upon their careers. Today, everyone is sadly engaging in self-censorship.
We all live in a world of intimidation, fear and lies today.
Stand out from the herd, and the Ruling Class will ensure that your financial livelihood is massacred through their control of the mob. This fear about being unable to provide food on the table or a roof over the heads of family prevents truth from reaching the masses in every aspect of society – politics, war, nutrition and health care, medicine, and the subject matter I address here on my substack newsletter – investing and finance. There is not a single person on planet Earth today that does not understand that if you stray from the safety of the herd and choose to stand out, that you will get skewered. And there are not many on this planet that want to get skewered over and over and over for little to no financial reward for standing up for truth, when one can opt to be a mouthpiece for the pro-war, anti-truth, anti-equality, Military Industrial Banking Complex (MIBC) and become rich and very comfortable in the process of doing so.
On my About Page, I promise on the substack platform to “consistently present real applicable and actionable investment ideas that have repeatedly yielded large profits - ideas that you will not uncover in any other financial/investment newsletter.” However, to do so, I must diverge from 99.9% of all people that work in the financial industry and speak truth to very powerful elements that control information in the financial and investment world. For those that have visited the link to my about page above and read the testimonials of my paying subscribers, one likely doesn’t realize that the testimonials come from less than a fraction of 1% of the entire population, as this is the fraction interested in the truth. 99.9% of people gravitate to analysts that tell them exactly what they want to hear, even when those analysts create massive losses versus massive gains for them and as it is far more lucrative to market to this ignorant segment of society, very few people market to the less than 1% that follow me here, despite the outsized returns I produce for those that seek out truth, which you can see for yourself by clicking here.
The Investment Industry Motto: Tell People EXACTLY What They Want to Hear to Keep Their Money Captive
The above is the Dirty Secret leveraged and exploited by Financial and Investment “Gurus” all over the world to their detriment of their followers. Though this seems like an oxymoron, the money in finance is not in those that return massive yields to their followers if one does so by telling the truth. The real top-tier, top-level money in finance is in telling one’s followers what they want to hear, even if it loses their followers money. Though I know no one reading this will admit it, since this article will be open to free subscribers here and not just my paying subscribers, undoubtedly, there will be those reading this article that fit the category of the above in paying for investment information that has caused them to lose loads of money in recent years (simply because the quacks and charlatans that position themselves as gurus continue to tell them what they want to hear), but yet they will continue to refuse to pay for the guidance of the few that have outperformed bad markets in leaps and bounds in recent years because they do so by telling people what they don’t want to hear, though infinitely more profitable. The biggest money makers in finance understand far more about the psychology of investors than they understand how to earn their followers money, and that is how they earn so much money every year.
If what I stated above were not facts, then it would not be possible for some of the world’s worst analysts in recent years, like Cathie Wood of ARKK investments, to continue to attract billions of dollars of people’s money. But they do. It is far more lucrative to play the game the MIBC wants you to play than to tell the truth, because truth telling threatens their generational wealth. Unfortunately, the insane people that run the MIBC will lead us into a full blown and extremely chaotic and massively destructive World War that is unfolding in Ukraine right now. If you read the article I release next week on my substack platform, you are likely to unfortunately reach the same conclusion as myself that a full blown World War has now become all but inevitable as the Western MIBC has never been open to peace as a solution to their economic war being waged against Russia. Of course, this is a truth the mass media will hide from you as long as possible as well (and for those that conclude that this is highly unlikely before reading my article next week, know that I too was among the highly skeptical that the current war in Ukraine could develop into a full scale, massively destructive World War until I spent countless hours researching the Chinese and Russian perspective of the ongoing war in Ukraine that led to my complete 180 degree reversal of my previously held opinion.)
But back to the topic of this article. All you need to do to keep exploiting the ignorance of investors to keep making money is to tell people whom your guidance caused a 80% loss of assets in 2021 and 2022 the following. As long as you do not pull your money from me, you will eventually regain your 80% loss and finally move into the black. And even if this never happens, one can keep making money much more easily by extending this lie than by telling the truth. For example, the ARKK ETF crashed to a 80%+ loss from its Q1 2021 high and after a small bounce this year, it is still down more than 72% from its Q1 2021 high. If I were the manager of the ARKK ETF, even if I stated that all losses would be recouped by the end of 2025, even if this did not happen, then I would just extend the lie to 2030, as this is telling those that remained invested in it exactly what they want to hear. So, the way to keep making money is to tell everyone, when one’s promises do not come true, a more distant timeline for such to come true
I have no doubt that had I launched a “BTC to the Moon” substack newsletter under a pseudonym when BTC hit $70,000 at the end of 2021, that even if I bankrupted everyone that signed up for my newsletter because I told them that BTC was going to end the year at $150,000 (as this was the message all BTC HODLers wanted to hear at the time and many willingly told them this message), that I still would have earned multiples the income that is possible by telling the truth on any platform, despite BTC still only being about $30,000 right now. All I would have to do is to apologize for BTC not being at $150,000 right now but to promise the realization of this price by 2030 to keep people paying me for such horrible advice.
And the same would apply for a “Gold to the Moon” newsletter as well. Any gold owner wants to hear that gold will soar to $50,000 instead of being told of a much more realistic trajectory higher. Telling people exactly what they want to hear is by far the best strategy to separate people from their money. Who made money at the end of 2021 by being honest and telling people that BTC was going to crash from $70,000 to $15,000? I certainly did not. There is no money in finance in telling the truth, even when you are right because people tend not to laud you if you save them from losing $200,000 but only if you made provided them with $200,000 of profits. And even then, if the information by which you helped them earn $200,000 was achieved by diverging away from herd thinking and telling the truth, then such success will be labelled as unrepeatable and one will still have an infinitely more difficult time growing one’s business in this manner than by outright lying and telling people what they want to hear.
You may review the articles I wrote at the end of 2021, right here on this platform, in which I informed people of a truth that was as crystal clear to me as Caribbean waters. I wrote here, on 16 November 2021, when BTC prices were still at $63,720, and at a time I insturcted my patrons to sell ALL of their BTC at $66,000 just a few days earlier, that BTC analysts that spoke of the “crash” of BTC prices from $70,000 to $63,000 back then as a “massive buying opportunity” were absurd and only playing on people’s fears of missing out to gain new subscribers to their scam.
In November of 2021, after a mini-pullback in BTC prices was presented as a “buy the dip” opportunity to the masses by the majority of BTC analysts, I stated that I clearly “won’t consider a significant [BTC] price sell off a ‘crash’ until BTC prices pullback to $15,000”. As we all now know, this $15,000 price that I stated would represent a true “crash” nearly materialized just one year later after I published that statement in November of 2021. However, how many new subscribers did I receive on that accurate guidance to sell and on that accurate prediction that BTC would fall to $15,000? Zero.
But I guarantee had I willfully lied against the findings of my research back then and predicted $150,000 BTC prices by November 2022 instead of $15,000, as this is what every BTC HODLer wanted to hear, that such a lie would have literally put tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in subscription fees in my pocket. Again, the money exists in finance in the deliberate telling of lies, not truth. And even though such a lie would now be exposed, two years later, it would still be a breeze to make such a lie irrelevant and harmless to the resultant burgeoning income earned from such a lie. For those without ethics that opt to deliberately lie, the key is to remain consistent in that lie. As long as I was still forwarding promises in June of 2023 of BTC’s natural pause in price that only delayed, but did not stop, its upward path to $150k that will make HODLing to 2030 necessary from the originally provided 2021/2022 Q1 date, I could retain 99% of the fees of anyone paying me for such poor advice at least until 2030.
While it is true that the type of analysis I provide here is markedly different thatn any analysis you will encounter anywhere else online, this is not solely due to the fact that I completely disregard the type of analysis deployed by 99.9% of all other analysts, like P/E and PEG ratios and technical analysis (TA) to dig much deeper into metrics that truly influence asset price behavior. The reason less than 0.1% of us in the financial world have the courage to speak our mind about the problems that exist in our world is because of the inverse truth-income relationship that exists. The reason so many people rely on the same metrics to make their asset price predictions is because this is what we have all been taught in business school as the holy grail of price prediction analysis. But for anyone that has studied the history of the industrialists that founded the world’s top business schools, it is impossible to believe that these industrialists would actually allow the truth to be taught in the schools they funded regarding the true metrics that determine asset price behavior.
If we believe that industrialists will provide the analytical tools we need to compete with them out of the kindness of their hearts, then this conclusion sounds as rightfully absurd as it should sound. To provide to us, in their hallowed halls of academia, an advantage to compete with them is simply unfathomable and unrealistic. For those among us that dare to challenge the Military Industrial Banking complex’s lies and propaganda narratives about investments that keep people earning a paltry 8% per year, we understand that only those that forward the MIBC’s narrative will professionally and financially thrive in this world, and we understand the necessity of our undertaking to make the world a better, more truthful place.
I will never be turned by the MIBC by promises of money. I fear not death, so there is nothing the MIBC can do to turn me.
Though the MIBC continuously tries to eliminate free will from all financial and investment analysts, if one is willing to pay the price of exercising free will, it definitely exists and is not extinct. But understand that most people in this life, other than many among those reading this article, voluntarily choose to be hammered down in exchange for the MIBC rewards of riches and career advancement. For example, I guarantee 100% that there is no economist in the world that exposes and dissents against Central Banker policies, even if they are detrimental to humanity, that will ever achieve career advancement to the top echelons of the economic profession and will never receive a Nobel Prize in economics, if such aspirations are on his or her agenda. This is why it is so incredibly difficult to find truth in our world today, whether in the investment/finance world or whether in the foggy opaque politics of war. The ones among us in finance that state things that differ from our colleagues stand out just as much as a lone sardine that abandons the formation of a bait ball and is then immediately killed and consumed by a swordfish.
Value in Finance is Not Found in Popularity, But is Found in Dark Corners Hidden From the Light
To prove the above point, look at this screenshot I took from an article from some years back, in which billionaire Eric Sprott of Sprott Investments referenced a video of mine that literally had less than 1,000 views.
Because I don’t vomit the same nonsense followed by millions around the world and adhered to as “the Bible” of investment rules, my content will immediately be dismissed by millions and never seen by tens of millions. Not unless some effort of the MIBC to censor all my articles miraculously backfires on them and makes them go viral against their wishes. Back in the day, when the MIBC search engine Google once allowed everyone to observe exactly what specific servers were accessing one’s website instead of just the region, I discovered that the New York corporate office of Goldman Sachs along with the Department of Homeland Security were accessing my website every single day. This was not because they were interested in obtaining investment tips from me, but was likely to determine if I needed to be “controlled”. In a way, it’s a blessing that I don’t have a multi-million subscriber base because this would be the type of exposure that necessitates control and hammering down. If I stay small, I only reach the eyes and ears of those that truly understand the value of my work, like Eric Sprott, whereas billions of others continue to follow guidance that tells them exactly what they want to hear and provides zero value.
To furher delineate this point, the greatest number of reads of any article I ever published online was only about 385,000 individual reads, and even this particular article (about how the MIBC suppresses gold and silver prices) only received hundreds of thousands of reads aggregately on my website and others after ZeroHedge picked up my article from my website and reprinted it on their website. Mr. Sprott clearly understands the proverb that the “nail that sticks out will be hammered down”, because his decision to consume my content was not influenced by the fact that virtually no one else in the entire world had chosen to consume this exact same content. Obviously as a wise investor, his search for content is based upon searching for the nails that stick out, no matter how hard they are to find, instead of searching for content that that has millions of consumers, as content consumed by millions normally represent nails that have been hammered down and therefore presents information presented to go along with the Military Industrial Banking Complex (MIBC) program in order to get along. In addition, the statement Mr. Sprott made in the above screenshot about my content is extremely important to understand.
I’ve stated, too many times to count, that the majority among us are being magnificently fooled by Central Bankers into believing that Central Bankers have complete control over the price of gold and silver. I state this is a lie, despite the fact of their very successful, at times, short-term price manipulations, including even the one they just executed this past May and June. I’ve repeatedly stated that if Central Bankers had the power to absolutely manipulate prices to the extent that 99% of us believe, then silver would trade below $4 and gold below $200 in the synthetic markets as of 29 June 2023. There is no way gold and silver prices would be remotely close to what they are today, even with the recent price smash they just executed. Does any rational person believe that the MIBC is happy with gold and silver prices now, even with both at an absurdly suppressed $1,900 and $22.50? Of course not.
A $4 silver and a $200 gold price would make Central Bankers happy, and despite that, they have not been able to manipulate prices anywhere close to these levels for decades. However, as evidenced by comments written below my recent articles published on my substack platform, though the majority of those reading this sentence likely understand the conclusion in this paragraph, the majority of people in the world unfortunately do not. Perhaps if they listened to the wisdom of someone that built his fortune on precious metal asset price advancements, like billionaire Mr. Eric Sprott, then they would finally believe what I’ve been stating for decades. Mr. Sprott acknowledged, in the above interview, my claim that Central Bankers “want things to happen the way they want them to happen so that people believe they have control of things.”
While Central Bankers can control gold and silver prices in a limited capacity for short periods of time, there is a massive gap between this reality and the false belief that they can send gold and silver prices to whatever price they desire. The understanding of this carefully-crafted Central Banker delusion is critical to diverting global investment money away from physical gold and silver, as there is a critical mass of investment into physical gold and silver that would cause them to lose control of their price manipulation game. And this applies especially to silver at the current time, since it is affordable to most everyone at these bargain basement prices now. Though this delusion is rejected by the majority of people in the Eastern Hemisphere, in the much wealthier per capita regions of Europe and the Americas, this delusion is embraced by the majority of people. And this is how Central Bankers maintain control over it.
Recently, I even spelled out, in black and white, the critical mobilization of numbers that would be necessary right now to strip power from the Central Banking cartel in their silver price manipulation game in this article here. Despite laying out credible actions that could realistically strip power from the cartel in its ability to continue suppressing silver prices, I received some pushback in support of the Central Banker-created delusion of their ability to control silver prices into eternity against the real opportunity that exists right now to remove that power. I hope the acknowledgement from a billionaire that earned his billions from his understanding of the Central Banker silver price manipulation game, that we will never be free until we understand that the delusion embedded in a belief that Central Bankers exercise absolute control over gold and silver prices, will finally sway some people to take real action now versus embracing the self-defeating belief that we collectively possess zero power to fight back. Whenever someone expresses this false belief, I am sure there is a a Central Banker somewhere in the world dancing with ineffable joy.
By embracing the delusional beliefs Central Bankers want us to embrace, we become the hammer that smashes the honorable truth that furiously tries to bubble to the top above all other nails. Maybe it’s time we all started digging deeper beneath these false narratives dispensed by the MIBC about gold and silver, and instead of working for the enemy by spreading their false lies, start working together to elevate the nails that stick out above the rest. In researching what may just be the most important article I will publish here on this forum in 2023, coming next week, “Why a Full Blown World War With Massive Casualties Now Appears to Be Inevitable”, as I researched the Russian and Chinese perspective on the ongoing economic war being fought in Ukraine to understand a perspective completely censored by the Western MIBC, I often stumbled upon videos of one of the most influential economic policy advisors in Russia that contained critical information, but still had possessed less than 1,000 views, and often even less than 500 views.
Even though Google-owned YouTube suppresses official views of videos they deem to be harmful to their agenda, even if the real numbers were five times as much, such important videos still have suffered a near zero reach to the global population of eight billion. Even though understanding this man is the key to understanding the likely Russian response in this war, I can’t say I was surprised that these videos had nearly zero exposure to the world, and it was not for lack of access. In the videos I watched with less than 1,000 views, this man explained the Russian perspective not in Russian, but in a language understood by far more people in this world – English. Perhaps he deliberately spoke English so his message could have a much wider global audience, but in a day and age when truth is relegated to the darkest corners of the world, truth often remains unheard. Even for one of the most watched videos I ever posted on YouTube before YouTube started relentlessly censoring my videos, the gatekeepers at Google deleted more than 70,000 comments that existed on that video without my permission and permanently blocked all future comments.
Thus, when Russia responds by launching a major counteroffensive in a NATO nation that I believe is now inevitable as a result of the research I uncovered for this upcoming article, the Western MIBC controlled media will be able to once again successfully frame this counteroffensive as the work of a demonic, maniacal Putin because less than 1 in a million understand the truth about the real reasons driving the war in Ukraine at the current time. In addition, although many of us that are not afraid to expose the truth we find in the course of our relentless research continue to preach the truth, the lack of financial reward typically received by those operating in the realm of truth unfortunately quickly erodes the numbers of people willing to tell the truth. In the end, all wars are economic wars so if just one person that preached economic and financial truth became wildly popular and ranked #1 in financial income, this would be a tremendous boon for financial truth. And this is why I always preach financial support for all my brothers and sisters that spread truth here as well.
Due to the lack of financial reward that comes from telling the truth in finance, I’ve witnessed over the past few decades, many switch from telling the truth to start a new career as propaganda mouthpieces for the MIBC, as such a switch immediately doubled, tripled and quadrupled their income. During a time when the MIBC has worked so furiously to destroy our quality of life, first by imposing economic ruin on billions through covid lockdowns in which they did not allow people to work for two to three years (especially more so in the Eastern hemisphere) and then by deliberately ramping up our cost of food and energy expenditures through economic sanctions, ecoterrorism (blowing up the Nordstream pipeline) and fake green energy agendas that do not include nuclear energy (one of the safest, most cost efficient and cheapest sources of energy), such a misanthropic agenda has successfully tunnel-visioned millions of people’s focus to self-motivated interests of survival. This MIBC achievement has unfortunately even prevented those that are fanatical in their desire for truth from supporting those that risk it all by continuing to tell truth with simple, zero-cost support, like word-of-mouth. When one is focused on putting food on the table every day, even taking a minute or two out of one’s day to help others through word-of-mouth seems like a burden. In this world the MIBC has created in which the courageous are few and the honorable even fewer, it is not difficult for them to use the mob’s fears to marginalize all those committed to spreading the truth.
This is why I’ve asked dozens of times, for readers here to spread the word about any platform that spreads truth, including the ones I’ve listed below at the end of this article, for I know that all those that spread truth fight a constant uphill battle that cannot be won without the financial support of all those that desire to be informed of truth. You are our backbone that keeps our heads high in times of struggle. When one is in survival mode, it’s hard not to assume a “F*ck every one else, I need to focus on myself” attitude. But as I’ve also stated, a man’s true character is not revealed during times of brilliant joy and comfort. It is revealed when a man is suffering through his darkest depths. Everyone is good to others when his life is brilliant. A true test of a man’s character is how he treats others when suffering through his darkest adversity.
That is why it is so essential for those that are not in survival mode to support those that continue to preach truth because without your support for us to grow our platforms, every single one of us will disappear. As we all witnessed during Covid lockdowns, even for those that relentlessly spread truth at the expense of our own bank accounts, we all know that the truth about the danger and ineffectiveness of mRNA Covid drugs only saw the light of day after the damage had been done and the truth had been buried by the MIBC controlled media. If we want truth to come to light when it can help the most, instead of after-the-fact, we must unify now, not tomorrow, and not a year from now.
We only saw the truth about the inefficiency and medical complications caused by these insufficiently tested drugs come to light after the mass media’s relentless censorship of truly knowledgeable doctors like Dr. Kary Mullis, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya backfired on them and actually catapulted their censored views into the spotlight. And even then, the blowback of censorship that gave these doctors a voice after relentlessly censorship during 2020 to 2022 only really gained the attention of the average Joe and Jane after some of these doctors made appearances on the biggest podcast in the world, the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE). But had it been up to the MIBC controlled media, none of the truths conveyed by these doctors would have ever seen the light of day. Thus, even on the rare occasion in which truth reaches millions, a lot of factors have to fortuitously converge in a simultaneous manner for this to materialize.
The Truth About Gold and Silver
In the epilogue to this article, I will publish some charts that illustrate the depth of truth being suppressed by a MIBC intent on steering investors away from actions that will wildly benefit us in the coming years. Such charts, of which I am convinced are painted by bankers, steer the masses into embracing the delusions forwarded by Central Bankers, of which Eric Sprott references above. All we have been fed by the MIBC for weeks on end in May and June is how cryptocurrencies are a better investment than physical gold and silver at the current time. In the last post about cryptocurrencies I published here, I already informed everyone, with BTC trading at $26,200 in mid-June, that a fierce battle between the bears and bulls was ongoing, with a slight bias for higher prices this month that would take BTC prices into the $32,000 to $33,000 range by the end of this month. However, since I mentioned only a slight bias for higher prices, I wouldn’t necessarily consider this one of my better BTC price predictions over the past two years, even though it appears that the range I predicted at the end of this month is going to be as spot on as possible.
Furthermore, I issued this prediction on 13 June, before Blackrock announced their filing to operate a bitcoin ETF. Even though the mass media attributed Blackrock’s BTC ETF filing as responsible for the 20% rise in BTC prices that has since materialized, since I predicted a 20% rise in BTC prices in the final two weeks of this month before the Blackrock announcement, this movement higher would have happened even had Blackrock delayed their announcement to July. Common sense would inform one that the odds of randomly accurately predicting a 20% rise in BTC price to $32k in a two-week predicted time frame from a pure guess would be less than one in a million.
But now that BTC has basically reached the predicted price range I provided two weeks ago, it is now necessary to analyze the delusional beliefs that the MIBC wants us all to believe regarding the immediate term direction of gold and silver asset prices. Their heavily promoted delusions at the current time is that they can keep knocking gold prices down by at least a few hundred dollars further from $1,900 and silver back down a few more dollars below the $22 and change level they forced last week. However, as this article is getting quite lengthy, to read my further thoughts on this matter, just head over to my substack newsletter.
