What if I told you that children have an innate ability that is literally the key to getting what you want in life? But we see this skill as “rude” and hence society and schools beat it out of them. Parents often do it without realizing it as well. What is this skill? In three words is simply, “how to sell”, simply put, “sales is life and life is sales”.

As many of you know I have been teaching people to actually diversify their assets for a very long time. In fact my recommendations have been fairly consistent since 2008 when I started, adjusted only as conditions on the ground have dictated. For instance I added Bitcoin as an asset to hold, once it came into existence and I learned enough about it to recommend it. My basic recommendations for an allocated holding group of assets are and have been….

There have been a lot of good decisions by the courts lately that are positive for liberty. One is particular is a ruling on the home production of distilled alcohol and prohibition of it being unconstitutional. This soaked a thought in me to talk about agorism today, what it is, why it works and what a true agonist opportunity looks like. Agorism is most simply put the idea of building a free society by trading and working directly with others, without government rules. It means people should rely on each other instead of the government for services and goods.

I am going to come at this today from two angles. They will be that perhaps there was malice from someone inside the government, the second that it could really have simply been incompetence. Both are ugly, we may never know the truth but one of those two options must be true and the likely result of either changes pretty much everything about this election cycle.

Most of us at some time have looked at “junk land” in western Texas selling for a few hundred to a few thousand dollars an acre. For less than the cost of a new car you can own 100-300 acres of land.

He has been documenting the journey on YouTube with 160,000 subscribers so far.
