His simple common-sense lessons are a perfect prelude to inspiring each of us to act upon the prudent measures that we shall discuss from this point forward. <p>In the aftermath of the global financial crisis in 2008, a growing number of people are beginning to question seriously the reliability of financial markets, paper currencies, politicians, and governments. <i></i> <p>The vast majority of us are far too busy with day-to-day obligations to comprehend adequately the pending consequences that are most assuredly destined to manifest from our most recent wake-up call in 2008. <p>Three years following the 2008 crisis, which nearly brought us to the brink of total collapse and martial law, and as we now approach the end of 2012, those in power continue to do absolutely nothing to repair the structural flaws responsible for our recent brush with total catastrophe. The writing is on the wall. <p>In fact, the extraordinary measures taken by TPTB (the powers that be) to kick the can down the road a bit longer, have only made the entire system that much more vulnerable to the next inevitable shock. <p>Considering the looming fiscal cliff in the US, the surge in global unrest, unsustainable budget deficits, astronomical debts, unfunded future liabilities of governments that they cannot possibly pay back, with each passing day, the odds for experiencing another systemic shock are growing exponentially. <p>In light of this very real and disturbing situation, how might people protect themselves from an out-of-control social system that is growing ever vulnerable to massive disruptions, global conflicts, civil unrest, severe shortages, rampant inflation, and the plausibility of total chaos and collapse? <p><b><font size="4">What should rational people do?</font> </b></p><strong></strong> <p>One of the most important and first things people typically are concerned about safeguarding in the face of such economically induced types of crisis is their wealth, which is measured in money. After all, money makes the world go round, right?</p> <p>Let’s face it, money is the absolute center of all power, and the most potent of motivational drivers. Reflexively, in a normalized linear world, money is the only available resource one needs to provide a commensurate level of security for their family’s well being, survival, and standard of living. <p>If one makes the right investments ahead of time, one can reasonably expect to protect and preserve their hard-earned wealth. Further to this point, if one is a bit lucky, one can amass a rather handsome profit to boot. <p>The problem with the above reflexive thinking is twofold. Firstly, though we may perceive it as normalized from year-to-year, over the long run, the world is most definitely NON-linear. Secondly, it is the very nature and intrinsic value of the government issued money that is the root cause of these existential threats. Having said that, it is clearly appropriate for us to discuss first, what one should consider when it comes to the government money they earn and the money they have amassed throughout their lifetime. <p><b><span style="font-size: medium"><font size="4"></font></span></b> </p> <p><b><span style="font-size: medium"><font size="4">Finances: one of five Silver Bullets to consider</font></span></b> </p> <p><br><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/--titiUqwr90/UG4LB4PHiFI/AAAAAAAACCk/IWa5Ci-s0Ds/s1600-h/Star%252520Essentials%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Star Essentials" border="0" alt="Star Essentials" align="left" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-aAewKjRUlC0/UG4LCucOa5I/AAAAAAAACCs/5FKmAzbCvxU/Star%252520Essentials_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="324" height="311"></a>If you are not already acutely aware that government issued money is pretend money, consider yourself hereby informed. Government money has value simply because governments have the power to pass and impose by force, legal tender laws, which dictate what type of currency they demand and accept for the payment of taxes. </p> <p>We mentioned earlier that despite year-to-year perceptions of normalcy, the world is changing faster than otherwise perceived by general populations. For example, up until 1934 in the US, all government issued paper money was redeemable in the constitutionally defined money of gold and silver. <p>Following World War-1, amidst the aftermath of a non-linear world event known as the great depression of the 1930’s, the US government was essentially bankrupt. At the time, in order to maintain power in the face of national bankruptcy, the government somehow got away with confiscating all of the gold from its citizens. The government declared a banking emergency, and shortly thereafter-imposed legal tender laws upon its citizens, forcing them to accept exclusively, an irredeemable or pretend paper currency. <p>Yessiree, shortly thereafter, the “New Deal” dawned and unbeknownst to all, planted the demon seeds that are now spawning the zombie-governments and economies that we see failing miserably one-by-one all across the globe. <p>Not only was the US bankrupt in the 1930’s, but it had the audacity to impose clandestinely that all future debt obligations would rest upon the backs of its citizens by imposing that they accept a valueless debt-based paper currency in exchange for their labor. This non-linear event also led to World War-2 by 1939. <p>Following World War-2, the victors established what many now perceive as an ill conceived and diabolical set of global power structures such as the IMF, World Bank, and the United Nations. <p>Insofar as Gold was concerned during this period, under the established <a onclick="MyWindow=window.open('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system','MyWindow','toolbar=yes,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=680,height=480'); return false;" href="#"><strong>Bretton Woods Treaty</strong></a>, trading with other nations remained on a quasi Gold Standard. Since constantly moving gold around the world to settle trade was considered impractical, it was established that the victor of the War and its paper dollar would become the world’s reserve paper currency, which was as good as gold because other nations could redeem US paper dollars for actual gold, which was the real-money. <p>When US trading partners wished to exchange their reserve currency paper surplus for gold, the US was legally bound to oblige such requests. This arrangement kept global trade somewhat balanced for a time. <p>Although the other countries with which the US traded had their own local versions of paper money, global trade between nations continued to ultimately settle and reconcile accounts using the tried and true Gold Standard. <p>With the amazing grace of the innocent and uninformed masses, this new global monetary system ushered in more than a quarter Century of widespread prosperity for the Western industrialized world. However, because of this scheme, yet another non-linear world event reared its ugly head 1971. We will talk more about Nixon’s 1971 closing the gold window later. <p>Having the extraordinary advantage of possessing the world reserve currency, the US soon began to abuse its financial prowess by creating out of thin air, far more paper dollars than it was willing to part with in relation to the commensurate amount of gold those excess dollars represented. As one would expect, the other countries trading their goods and labor for US dollars became concerned that perhaps the US might not have enough gold reserves to back the paper dollars they were creating with such reckless abandon. <p>This brought about yet another non-linear event in history in the 1960’s. When the French sent ships to US shores to exchange their reserve currency dollars and to collect their gold in kind, the US refused to honor their agreement and denied their request. <blockquote> <p align="center"><font color="#a5a5a5"><em><strong><font size="3">We trust you can now see that despite life appearing normal from one year or decade to the next, history proves conclusively that extraordinary NON-Linear events of major import are in constant development, though to most people, such shocks generally appear to manifest overnight.</font></strong></em> </font></p></blockquote> <p>As a growing number of nations questioned the fiscal health of the US in terms the gold it owned relative to the extraordinary volume of paper dollars it continued to mass-produce, there was in effect, a major threat of a global bank run looming on US gold reserves. If the US were to honor the growing demands for gold redemptions, its gold reserves would have dwindled down to nothing resembling any facsimile of a viable superpower with global influence. <p>Since no wars arose from the refusal of the US to meet its fiscal obligations in delivering its gold on demand, one must assume that the US silently agreed to other political arrangements in order to smooth things over. <p>Shortly thereafter in a state of national emergency, Nixon announced a temporary closing of the global gold window, which remains closed to this day, some 42-years later. Since 1971, for the very first time in modern history, the entire world has been running both national and global economies with 100% pretend money. <p>In effect, what we have for global monetary systems is a dying Ponzi-scheme. It is the best and most successful Ponzi-scheme ever run, but a Ponzi-scheme nonetheless. If this mass charade does not implode within the next few years, we will most assuredly bear witness to its collapse within our lifetimes. <p>So, are there any questions remaining as to why “money” lies at the root cause of every modern day imbalance, injustice, dispute, disruption, or dislocation? <p><b><span style="font-size: medium"><font size="4"></font></span></b> </p> <p><b><span style="font-size: medium"><font size="4">BUY SILVER & GOLD to INSURE YOUR WEALTH</font></span></b></p> <p>For thousands of years, from the trial and error of collective populations, gold and silver ascended organically as the absolute best and most reliable form of money ever known to serve the needs of humankind. As such, any rational human being should be compelled to take whatever steps necessary to round up 10% of all they are worth in pretend money, and spend that pretend money to purchase actual money as historically represented by the physical possession of gold and silver.</p> <p>Relative to gold, the case for silver is even more compelling. Historically, it has taken anywhere from 10-to-15 ounces of silver to buy just one ounce of gold. With a gold price of $1700 pretend dollars an ounce, silver should be valued in kind between $170 and $255 per ounce. Thanks to the imprudence of government interventions, you can buy silver today for less than $40 per ounce in pretend money. Folks, this is a no brainer. <p>I know, I know, I know, paper money is not pretend because it buys anything we want and need. This is true, but when one considers price inflation, which is simply the loss of purchasing power of these pretend paper dollars, one begins to wake-up to the illusion of pretend paper money. <p>If you still cannot wrap your head around this just take a look at the chart below. The top half of the chart shows the declining value of the US dollar from 1980 to present. The bottom half of the chart illustrates the complete opposite trajectory of the price of gold within the same period. Overall, since the inception of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the dollar has lost more than 95% of its purchasing power.</p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-n_VNaEJVsQA/UHr7331ifkI/AAAAAAAACZA/ZYbHitj6blw/s1600-h/Gold%252520-%252520Dollar%252520Chart.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 25px auto 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Gold - Dollar Chart" border="0" alt="Gold - Dollar Chart" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-c2-SzsddxsA/UGy2IADochI/AAAAAAAACZI/mhs5PGDDSr8/Gold%252520-%252520Dollar%252520Chart_thumb.png?imgmax=800" width="619" height="743"></a> <p>If you are thinking that there is some long-term reversal of fortune just around the corner, and that pretend paper money will suddenly reverse its long-term secular downtrend and eventually recuperate much of its lost purchasing power, consider this first. <p>In the entire history of humankind, every single civilization that has experimented with use of fiat currency (pretend money) has inevitably found out the hard way that in all cases, 100% of the time, those fiat currencies FAIL and wind up worthless and replaced with another medium of exchange. <p>Throughout all of human history, the ONLY form of money that has maintained its value and purchasing power for several thousands of years is that hard-money, which is in the form of Gold and Silver.<br></p> <p><b><font size="4">Much, much more than just Gold, and Silver</font></b></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-vx4Z-swuI_w/UGy2JEqBhiI/AAAAAAAACAE/uosJqrTNMWw/s1600-h/Small%252520Logo%252520for%252520Links%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Small Logo for Links" border="0" alt="Small Logo for Links" align="left" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-VE1kBm10ry4/UGy2JkhdweI/AAAAAAAACAM/xpYNTE_wsSQ/Small%252520Logo%252520for%252520Links_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="301" height="80"></a>With history as our most accurate and reliable guide, and given the trajectory of our current state of affairs, one must realize that even if one had a million dollars worth of gold buried in ones backyard, that one would not be able to sufficiently insure the security, health, well being and standard of living for themselves or their families. </p> <p>There are a couple of big problems with relying exclusively upon the assurances gained by acquiring a moderate portion of gold and silver. Firstly, you cannot eat your gold or silver to stay alive and healthy, and secondly, your gold and silver holdings will not serve in providing adequate defense measures to protect your family and property from potential threats. <p>In response to the ongoing fallout from the financial crisis, this is why we have created <a href="http://prudentmeasures.elliottwavetechnology.com/">Prudent Measures</a>.

</li></ul> <p>Given the extreme and unsustainable levels of monetary disorder deeply embedded within the current global financial system, episodes of rampant price inflation will persist in presenting ongoing threats to food supplies and rapidly rising prices. <p><b><font size="4">Prudent Measure / Actionable Solution:</font></b> <p>After exhaustive research, we have found that <a onclick="MyWindow=window.open('http://prudentmeasures.mygofoods.com/','MyWindow','toolbar=yes,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=1080,height=614'); return false;" href="#"><strong>GoFoods Global</strong></a> is the most reliable and best source for acquiring a supply of reserves either all-at-once, or by building-up over time; a highly nutritious and incredibly delicious supply of dependable, easy to store, easy to prepare, and cost-effective food reserves. <blockquote> <ul> <li><b>Options:</b></li></ul> <p>Whether you want to <a onclick="MyWindow=window.open('http://prudentmeasures.mygofoods.com/go-packs/feed-your-freedom-pack/','MyWindow','toolbar=yes,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=1001,height=788'); return false;" href="#"><strong>stock up fast with a year’s supply of reserves</strong></a> for a family of four, or if you want to build-up a gradual supply of reserves over time, GoFoods Global is the absolute best solution. <ul> <li><b>Flexibility:</b></li></ul> <p>Furthermore, if you are considering a side-business to generate additional income, or if you simply wish to get your reserves at wholesale prices, GoFoods Global offers everyone an equal opportunity to do so. <ul> <li><b>Wholesale Prices:</b></li></ul> <p>You can take advantage of the business opportunity if you wish, or you can simply join the program passively in order to get the wholesale pricing discounts along with the convenient ability to set up a monthly program to gradually build up to an adequate supply of reserves for your family’s household.</p></blockquote> <p><b><font size="4">Another Prudent Measure and another No Brainer</font></b> <p>Although the GoFoods Global business opportunity is excellent for those so inclined to pursue and work it, joining passively is just like getting an annual Costco membership to shop for quality products at a huge discount. <p>This food is delicious, nutritious, completely organic, and contains no GMO’s or harmful preservatives.

Though slightly challenging at first, you will be extremely happy for making such a life-changing decision, and your home will be far more secure to boot. As an aside, we have found that dogs adopted through shelters are more inclined to exhibit the protective reflex of barking at strangers vs. a store-bought puppy, or a puppy acquired from a breeder. Dogs going to good homes as puppies are born with a bit of a silver spoon, and are more prone to becoming spoiled. Unless you are willing to train and work with your dog to some extent, he or she may or may not have the inherent instinct to bark at strangers, the mail carrier, or odd noises. In contrast, though somewhat challenging in their own right, shelter dogs have had a hard life, and have likely already learned a multitude of lessons, one of which is to bark when something doesn’t seem right. <p> <hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"> <p><a title="Doberman Security Website" onclick="MyWindow=window.open('http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=407236&U=697256&M=43071&urllink','MyWindow','toolbar=yes,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=403,height=350'); return false;" href="#"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 35px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" align="left" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggvbAztxYiUSEjLl9RpwcNN_W3_QLYeMbDF5rYJ0-xzfz8ZqDxfCg8Ufzq5vG8hCe4mamM3HCEYpcqdUxWUjmI8V0d_lPMAb6MMrNkUAlrczOCjuGpXM4XJtVL3S0b4UoEvbF8yoLJk1A/s1600/Doberman+Security.png"></a></p> <ul> <li><b><font size="3">Home Security</font></b> <li><b><font size="3">Personal Security</font></b> <li><b><font size="3">Office Security</font></b> </li></ul> <p> </p> <p><a onclick="MyWindow=window.open('http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=407236&U=697256&M=43071&urllink','MyWindow','toolbar=yes,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=403,height=350'); return false;" href="#"><strong>Doberman Security Products</strong></a> specializes in affordable, high quality security devices for everyday use.</p> <hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"> <p><b><font size="4"></font></b> </p> <p><b><font size="4">Prudent Measures / Actionable <font color="#ff0000">Preparedness</font> Solutions:</font></b> </p><a title="1-800-Prepare Website" onclick="MyWindow=window.open('http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=96739&U=697256&M=14154&urllink=','MyWindow','toolbar=yes,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=450,height=450'); return false;" href="#"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" align="left" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGlPcvss2XZho2sgX5an13PuRjgzS0c6nNObeJc5IL9nRNTKURScl9smx9Ui_zL9XOD-1A-y_sybP5LOOoQzBBZ0xLU_jV0DFfnky38eSXoM4IHUR_cxdKLC_wQ5LAE0aucoBbiv-lUPU/s1600/1-800+Prepare-.png"></a> <p><strong><font color="#a5a5a5">Can you take care of your family in an emergency? </font></strong> <p><strong><font color="#a5a5a5">Be Ready.

She took out the electrical systems as well—meaning that the residents that remained had to make do with the cash they had on hand to survive. <p>What do you do if you have no cash, but need supplies in the event of a disaster? You barter. The idea behind bartering is simple. You trade an item you have for one that you need. In everyday bartering, you can offer any number of products or services to bartering partners. If you are creative, you can make artwork, crafts, or other items to trade for the items you need. You could even offer services, such as house cleaning, copywriting, or consulting, to provide value for the people with whom you barter. Emergency bartering works the same way—but you will be offering items you have stashed away in exchange for the goods and services you may need to survive. <p>One of the challenges of bartering is determining the value of the items or services you offer, and matching them with the value of what you need. A good trade will involve an equal exchange of value. Keep in mind, though, that value can be subjective. If you create gift baskets, for example, these items may hold great value for people who need unique, personalized gifts for their friends, family members, or coworkers. <p>The value of what you need for yourself may also be subjective. If you need a written brochure for a candle making business, a good copywriter might be able to produce a compelling document in a matter of a few hours. Still, the finished brochure can be of high value to you, because it can help dramatically increase your sales. <p>As such, unique and immediate needs are the values your trades should be based on, rather than the actual amount of time and money you put into creating or acquiring various items for such trades. <p>One of the keys to successful bartering is finding out what people want or need, and how you can provide it. In the event of a disaster or emergency of some type, if you have a lot of one item on hand, like bottled water, you should be able to trade this for items that you need, like gasoline, food, or a radio. <p>When you prepare an <a onclick="MyWindow=window.open('http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=310136&U=697256&M=14154&urllink=','MyWindow','toolbar=yes,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=1057,height=920'); return false;" href="#"><strong>emergency kit</strong></a> for your home, consider adding extra supplies to barter with, or to share. If you are traveling and have an emergency, keep in mind that you may be able to barter for some of the items you need—many cultures are skilled in bartering, and trading is an accepted form of commerce in many parts of the world. <p>Bartering isn’t just for emergencies! In today’s tough economy, people are looking for creative ways to obtain the things they need or want while saving as much money as possible. If you have been searching for ways to reduce your household expenses, bartering can be a great option. Bartering allows you to get just about anything free – no matter what you need; chances are you can work out barter trade. <blockquote> <p><font color="#a5a5a5"></font> </p> <p><font color="#a5a5a5">Though the list of tangible tradables is virtually unlimited, below are two additional items of interest that you may wish to consider acquiring for yourself and for bartering.</font></p></blockquote> <p><b><font size="4"></font></b> <p><b><font size="4">Usable and Tradable</font> </b> <hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"> <p><b>Coffee</b> <p><a title="Starbucks Online Store" onclick="MyWindow=window.open('http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=GBtNpGWA1MA&offerid=250104.48&type=3&subid=0','MyWindow','toolbar=yes,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,resizable=no,width=1012,height=560'); return false;" href="#"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" align="left" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCMzJfcfaTa3BEN1Ziyfs68UjidMfn9tuTEFwvzd3FBCeIPe4M5OkSubNtSQz2j8zqZ0BdFmoIR6A5gToGDL-HDawwafFRavZ8qYisL5AojjxZdFN_RCDQNPEGTdQmhIU6_A11fSHgux8/s1600/Starbucks+Coffee.png"></a>When it comes to quality coffee, you can’t beat Starbucks.

Third, in a severe regional power outage, gasoline might not be readily available. So what are your other choices? <ul> <li><b><font size="3">Propane</font></b></li></ul> <p>Unlike gasoline, propane remains stable for years as long as it is stored properly. 20-pound liquid propane (LP) tanks are readily available and used commonly for outdoor barbeques.

Home safes are available in many sizes and price ranges, and it can take a bit of shopping around to ensure that the safe you choose will meet your needs for many years to come. <p>The first consideration for your home safe is size. Take stock of what you plan to store in your safe. If you are a collector or own many pieces of jewelry, you will need a bit more space than if you just want to store important papers and one or two jewelry items. <p>If you own guns, your needs are entirely different, and you will need to search for safe that is larger than average. Be sure to plan for the future when deciding what size safe to buy. Manufacturers typically recommend buying a safe about 25-50% larger than you think you need today. <p>Of course, a larger safe will cost more money, but maybe not as much as you’d expect. About two-thirds of the cost of making a safe is in the door; so buying a 25% larger safe will not cost 25% more. <p>Another consideration in choosing your home safe is the type of protection you are looking for. Safes are typically listed as either fire resistant or burglar resistant, or both. Fire Resistant safes are available with multiple ratings, depending upon the level of fire resistance. <p>Safes with a higher fire resistant rating are, of course, more expensive, however, the extra expense is well worth it if you plan mainly to store important papers. Burglar resistant safes are designed to make it difficult to find and remove your belongings. They typically contain both a key and combination lock, are extremely heavy, and can be bolted to a wall or floor. <p>The best combination is usually a Burglar/Fire safe that will provide you with both burglar resistance and fire resistance. These are typically a free-standing safe than can be anchored to the floor and should provide you with at least 1 hour of fire resistance. The level of Burglar resistance will depend on the "total dollar value" of the safes contents. Underwriters Laboratory (U.L.) Ratings typically provide better Burglar resistance. The higher the "content value", the higher the burglar rating should be. <p>Buying a home safe should be a purchase you make only once in your life. Be sure to take the time to carefully evaluate your needs for both today and the future to ensure that your safe provides an effective and long lasting benefit. <p><b><font size="4">Additional Diversionary Tactics to Consider:</font></b> <b></b> <p>If one considers it prudent to kick things up a notch with regard to concealing the safe’s location, one can take a few extra measures to adequately camouflage or effectively divert attention from the place at which one chooses to bolt their safe securely to the floor. <p><img style="display: block;

We found three exceptionally good articles written on this topic. The first is from Sunni and the Conspirators website: <p><b><font size="4">So You’re Thinking of Buying a Gun</font></b> <p>Many people are buying guns; they are doing so to be able to protect themselves and their loved ones. It is not a bad idea, but before you make that move, you should learn as much as you can about guns so you can make an informed choice. <p>Guns are among the most misunderstood items around. If you listen to some gun control advocates, guns are the embodiment of evil. If you listen to some gun owners, every person in the country ought to carry a firearm, all the time. In reality, the truth is somewhere between these positions. <p>A gun is a tool. It is morally neutral. A gun can be an instrument of evil, when a rapist uses a gun to force compliance with his vile act. A gun can be an instrument of good, when the sight of one stops some thugs from attacking an elderly woman. <p>What happens with a gun depends on the intent of the person using the tool. Just as with any other tool, if a person is not prepared to use it, mistakes and accidents can happen--but with a firearm, they can have deadly consequences. To use these tools of self-protection well, you must choose carefully, and train yourself in their proper use. You can read the rest of this article posted by Sunni and the Conspirators by clicking <a href="http://www.sunnimaravillosa.com/guns/buyingagun.html" target="_blank">here</a>. <p align="center"><b><font size="4">Buying Your First Handgun</font></b> <p align="center"><font color="#666666">By Dick Clark</font> <p>Okay, so something has finally tipped the scales of your judgment in favor of acquiring your first handgun. Maybe you know someone recently victimized by a criminal. Maybe you have a new family and feel the urge to make yourself ready to protect them. Whatever the reason, you have decided to buy a handgun. Here's how to do it. <p><b>Legality</b> <p>For most United States citizens, purchasing a handgun is as simple as going to your local gun store, choosing a particular gun to buy, showing photo I.D., filling out the background check form, and then paying for the gun upon approval from NICS (usually instantaneous, but may take as long as three days). <p>There are a few states where this procedure is more cumbersome due to some requirement imposed by statute. To check your state's particular rules, simply ask a local gun dealer or refer to Handgunlaw.us. Each state's rules vary, so I won't cover them here, but some states restrict not only who may purchase and possess a handgun, but what particular models are permitted for such possession within that state. <p>Restrictions may apply to so-called "assault pistols," those that are capable of accepting high-capacity magazines (usually 10+), or those that the state may classify as "Saturday Night Specials." Read the balance of this article at <a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig8/clark-d4.html" target="_blank">LewRockwell.com</a>. <p align="center"><b><font size="4">Buying your first gun. Here’s How.</font></b> <p align="center"><font color="#666666">From the SurvivalistBlog.net</font> <p>What are you going to do? Are you going to rush out and buy one? And will you buy some ammo when you get the gun? Are you just going to head out to the range and start shooting? Figure it out as you go? <p>Buying a firearm is a huge decision, and one that can have far-ranging implications. Many people, like myself, grew up hunting and introduced to firearms at an early age. I was shooting a BB gun by the time I was 4 years old, and I received a bolt-action Remington .22 for Christmas when I was 6. I routinely walked out the back door and into the woods and hunted rabbits and squirrels by the time I was 8 or so.

float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF7yZT4tLcaOnOsSvRoIlmBVKJc6R81lcXNGFwjCOlIKzdtyOQqsVZpUt53Ab7VfOzZKLMlr-F0OLvDTEm8wchCUQYW1PqetMU0px4RemWvPicPNoW-d8ObDfgqVRzTqst-69Y1s-V02Y/s1600/Dow+Gold+Ratio.png"></p> <p>The above ratio chart illustrates the United States dollar denominated price of gold relative to the unit value of the Dow Jones Industrial average. As the US holds the worlds reserve fiat trade currency, by extension, the chart is reflective of the entire world’s current state and projected trajectory of virtually assured economic and political collapse. <p>In technical terms, the graph above illustrates how many units of the Dow it takes to buy one ounce of Gold. Simply stated in other words, the graph shows which asset (gold or the Dow) is performing and projected to perform better than the other. <p>As the graph shows, through 1999, the Dow trounced gold until it became alarmingly clear to a sufficient number of market participants that the Ponzi-scheme had reached it pinnacle. Since bottoming in 1999, gold has been trouncing the Dow, and it has a long, long way to go before it’s all said and done. <p>Quite obviously, Gold remains extremely UNDER-valued relative to the future value of debt-based fiat paper claims thought to reside in the valuation measures of the Dow Jones Industrial average. <p>In addition to monitoring the <a href="http://www.elliottwavetechnology.com/2012/02/how-does-corrupt-fed-treasury-spell.html" target="_blank">VIX</a>, which is another means by which to track the efforts of a corrupt Fed and Treasury, we present the Dow Gold ratio-charts to provide a real-time measure in monitoring REALITY vs. the Ponzi charade otherwise known as the global debt-based fiat currency system of political economics. <p>The question is neither if nor when, but rather one of how quickly the Dow-Gold ratio will reach an inevitable parity of one-to-one. This could mean an inflationary Dow at 20,000 with Gold at $20,000 per ounce, or a deflationary Dow 3,000 with Gold at $3,000 per ounce. <p>Either way, the writing is on the wall and the <a href="http://www.elliottwavetechnology.com/2012/02/how-does-corrupt-fed-treasury-spell.html" target="_blank">VIX</a> along with our “As the World Turns” chart above shall be your faithful guide in tracking the rate and velocity at which this epic inevitability shall manifest. <p>The chart below is the same as the one above only inverse. Instead of illustrating how many units of the Dow can purchase one ounce of gold, it shows how many ounces of gold it takes to purchase one unit of the Dow. <p>As such, the ratio chart below better depicts the ongoing collapse of fiat paper-based debt instruments far more clearly than the first chart, which better projects a visual picture of the velocity in which the price of gold is likely rise within the next ten years. The 1:1 ratio target is the same for both measures. <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf1jQ2KyGtgN5vuRvbG7fOSa74h8nuvu86SHPKihR_784xz5DbHjmvXR1Bn9Op3gWY_ZaM2tPK8SL7iuFS_usf0IdKccR6Tht3jEnvZibMIYItn-AG2qKAYWYc8uP23LIyhcH0gVauMPw/s1600/Collapse+of+Paper-Valued+Assets.png"></p> <p>Adopting Prudent Measures is all about empowering your freedom-loving and truth-seeking nature with actionable means to assure your safety, sovereignty, and for preserving your hard-earned wealth. The bonus page wraps it all up with a handy worksheet assistant to help you more accurately define and layout your plans. <p>Building a portfolio of Tangible Assets is the first step toward self-reliance and preserving ones wealth in both good times and bad. Next, we will define tangible assurance and review the types of assets that may comprise a Tangible Asset Assurance Portfolio. <p align="center"><b><font size="4">Building a Tangible Asset Assurance Portfolio</font></b> <blockquote> <p><b><em>Definitions:</em></b> <ul> <li><b>Tangible -</b> <em>able<b> </b>to be touched – actual – able to be realized – something that has a physical form, especially a financial asset<b></b></em> <li><b>Assurance – </b><em>confidence in personal ability or status – certainty – freedom from uncertainty – making something certain </em></li></ul></blockquote> <p><b><em>What is a tangible asset?</em> </b> <p>Tangible assets are actual possessions of real goods and resources that bare no counter party risk. They are immediately and readily available and provide for an enduring means of preserving wealth and assuring survival and self-reliance in the absence or breach of common-law and/or economic order. <p>This means food reserves in storage - cash, gold, and silver in safes – back-up power on hand, and firearms at the ready for self-defense. Each of these precious resource assurances should be available in ample abundance and about your person and property in both good times and bad. <p>Below we have provided a static screen shot of our Tangible Asset Assurance worksheet. <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38227124/Tangible%20Assurance%20Worksheet.xlsx">Click here</a><strong></strong> to download and save the excel file and begin working out your own customized (TAAP) plan today. <p> <strong> </strong><a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38227124/Tangible%20Assurance%20Worksheet.xlsx" target="_blank">Download Worksheet</a><strong></strong> <p><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheprzXrAGMTXbfh_41Urnn_nXXR4uBwxu9xNBx2kNucwoUISNw1rMS7tx7uqNTfXVW_Tq0zeurPizRCz9IFWOkGasriF_hqlgjUCYzabMxlPPBF935GeLNaG_Tevtp-zYIMA1bsjN5szI/s1600/Tangible+Assurance+Worksheet+Image.png"> <p> <hr> <p>We will leave you with one last bonus playlist, which will wake you up to the hidden meaning behind the political catch phrase “sustainable development.” The green movement and climate change cheerleaders may mean well, however, we suspect many goodhearted people seeking to do the right thing have absolutely no clue as to the underlying subversive elements driving the agenda. <p>The document protocols they are implementing RIGHT NOW at the local level reveals the subversive heinous intent lying beneath the surface of these movements, and they arise from the very framework from which they spawned, AGENDA-21. <p align="center"><b><font size="4">Globalist United Nations: Agenda-21 Playlist</font></b></p> <center><iframe height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/esJY2SK_4tE?list=PLSLtF8VQ3xbymOfEyVEGAvtEaO3HN5Ece&hl=en_US" frameborder="0" width="560" allowfullscreen></iframe> <center> <p> </p> <p style="margin: 4.5pt 0in" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><a href="http://prudentmeasures.blogspot.com/p/food-supplies.html"><font face="Arial Black"><font color="#0070c0"><span style="font-family: ;
