Don’t Let Them Swindle You
With This Recovery Nonsense

Dear Whiskey Shooter,

Don’t believe them when they tell you they’ve engineered a recovery…

The same people who helped create this crisis are now claiming that they’re helping to save you. But that lie isn’t the worst of it…

What they have in store will rob you of even more wealth…but you don’t have to let that happen.

And you can create your own actual recovery…

Major News Outlet Calls This the "Next Crisis"...

THE GREAT AMERICAN
"RECOVERY RIP-OFF!"

America on the mend? HORSE HOCKEY!

Here's what's real: Brace yourself for what's about to go down as the BIGGEST FINANCIAL SWINDLE in world history, engineered by none other than Wall Street and Washington, D.C.

How does their scam work? It's a crafty "triple-swindle" just clever enough that most Americans won't even see it happen... until it's too late.

The short of it is, every three days, these flim-flam artists use this strategy to secretly suck wealth out of your savings account.

Nobody's immune.

And if you don't do something now to protect yourself, you risk losing even more... starting with the next government-backed "swindle" event, scheduled to happen in an little as three days from right now...

URGENT 'SWINDLE' ALERT: Today's 'economic recovery' is not just a big lie, it's a cover-up strategy for an endless series of government-sanctioned 'wealth withdrawals' — direct from your personal savings and retirement accounts! The only good news? You can easily protect yourself — and I can show you how, free of charge. In fact, with the five protective 'tools' I'll give you, you could even get two to three times richer in the process... read on for full details.

Dear Red-Faced SUCKER,

Call it a fraud. Call it a swindle.

A hoax, a hoodwink, even a bamboozle...

Whatever you do, let's just be clear...

Every word you've heard so far about today's "recovery" is worse than just a big LIE... it's a cover-up for what's easily the largest, most devious wealth swindle of all time.

You won't have to take my word on this.

Over the next few minutes, I'll show you the evidence so you can see it for yourself.

But let me warn you up front, there's no way to "opt out" of this scam.

You're in it. And you're losing money, right now.

Your only choice?

Protect yourself... or keep on losing out.

How Crooks Just Gained
Access to Your Bank Account

My name is Addison Wiggin.

And six years ago, I had a life-changing experience.

An experience that lead me to the shocking discovery I'm about to reveal to you right now. See, it was back then that an old friend of mine — Bill Bonner, founder of the Daily Reckoning — asked me to help him write a book.

"Fiscally, we are in
uncharted territory."

— Warren Buffett,
August 19, 2009

We called that book Financial Reckoning Day.

And we wrote it to expose HUGE risks we saw back then, in the endless cycle of bubbles and borrowing, that fueled surges in stocks and real estate at the time.

Even as millions of Americans blew fortunes on flat-screen TVs and bought SUVs and other goodies using credit cards and home equity loans, Bill and I forecasted layoffs and bankruptcies, foreclosures and a collapse on Wall Street, and so much more that I'm sure you realize — since then — has come to pass.

Frankly, I never expected anybody to pay attention.

Yet, our book soared to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

And that's when I realized...

Others were out there who "got it."

"The U.S. has no way of avoiding a financial Armageddon..."

— John Williams, ShadowStats.com

My life changed overnight. I preached our message to interviewers from the New York Times Magazine, The Economist, Worth, and The Washington Post. I went on TV and did it again in front of the camera, with CNN, ABC News, CBS News... Fox, CNBC, Bloomberg, and MSNBC.

Bill and I took the message to radio shows, both local and national... to blog writers, international conferences, and more... then we wrote another book, Empire of Debt. And then that also shot up to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list... I got together with a filmmaker and wrote and produced an award-winning documentary called I.O.U.S.A.

I even sat down face-to-face and one-on-one to interview top financial minds on our growing debt crisis, including long personal meetings with Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker, who are both former Chairmen of the Federal Reserve... Warren Buffett, the world's richest investor... and two former Treasury Secretaries, Richard Rubin and John O'Neill... just to name a few.

To make a long story short, it's that mission that brings me to you right now.

"The alarm bells on our nation's fiscal condition have now become a siren."

— Sen. Mitch McConnell, (R-KY)

You don't need me to run through the numbers...

$1.8 trillion in extra spending... "unfunded" liabilities now soaring past $56 trillion... a personal family share of the debt topping $438,000... and bailouts and "stimulus" that have now got us burning through an eye-popping $200 million per hour...

The crisis I've covered for more than half a decade is obviously graver now than ever. But that's NOT the only reason I'm writing you right now.

As I said, today I have to ask you to focus on an even more immediate, related threat that I've just fully uncovered myself... a massive "triple swindle" designed to directly rob wealth from your savings and retirement accounts.

How does this "swindle" work?

That's what I aim to show you, in the letter that follows.

In short, it's a government-backed shell game that cheats you in three separate ways...

First, this "triple-swindle" starts when bureaucrats prop up their fake "recovery" with tax-funded bailouts and huge "cash advances" from foreign lenders...
Second, it goes deeper — as our Fed secretly funnels billions of dollars to foreign lenders then borrows it back again just to keep the scam from collapsing...
And finally, the "swindle" goes public, as Washington openly BUYS BACK their own debt using hundreds of billions more that they called out of thin air.
It sounds just complicated enough that you could miss it, if you're not paying attention.

But I urge you just to look at the evidence I'll provide.

By my calculations... you're already losing money to this massive government-backed swindle every three days, on average... probably much more money than you realize.

How can I be so sure?

The U.S. government even posts the dates of each "swindle" event on a calendar.

Take a look at this chart, straight from the U.S. Treasury...

That's over 20 billion a day, at current interest.

The plan, IMO, is to devalue the dollar and have all our creditors hold paper.

That's why China has allowed private ownership of precious metals and is buying deep into commodities, abandoning the dollar.

Hyperinflation is coming soon, just from sheer debt, not due to shortage of goods.

[watermock]

It's like knowing a major hurricane is offshore and being told to go into the superdome instead of building a shelter..

All I can say is buy gold, silver and a gun. Towlie says: "Don't forget to bring your seeds...".

Unfortunately, those are the first 3 things they will try to take.

There's the rub. The majority of the American people are along for the ride whether they want to be or not. They are working jobs, paying their mortgages, raising their kids, and do not have any liquid income to buy gold or invest in any kind of back-up plan. It's great to be able to tell all the people on the Titanic that they should get busy building their own boat, but just how do you expect them to go about it?

[Broncojef]

Nice to hear the voice of reason on this board. Very good thread Baja and couldn't agree with you more. This is quite simply the calm before the storm and smart investors running the market up to take gains off the table. We were in bad shape before the clowns in charge started making anti business decisions. Its a matter of time now and just like barney frank telling us days before Fanny's colapse that things are great these morons are again telling us how stable everything is and recovery is at hand. We get what we deserve for voting these clowns in and buying into their policies.

By Don McAlvany

1. Change the way you look at everything. Rethink your entire lifestyle.
2. Develop discernment about people.
3. When you invest, invest first in the right people.
4. Honesty, look at yourself, your strengths and your weaknesses.
5. Seek the counsel of others you trust.
6. Find like-minded people who can be part of a mutual support group and who
you can cooperate with.
7. Find alternate methods for doing everything.
8. Develop an instinct for what doesn't feel right. No matter how good
something looks or sounds on the surface, go with your gut feeling, with
your
instinct, with your intuition.
9. Eliminate non-essentials from your life. Eliminate all time wasters and
money wasters, and things you don't n eed - i.e. clothes, furniture, junk,
etc.
Eliminate television from your life.
10. Simplify your lifestyle - learn to say 'no' to things or activities
which
do not make you self-sufficient. Learn to place
God and yourself, and not other people.
11. Develop physical, mental and spiritual disciplines.
12. Learn to treat everything as if it were irreplaceable.
13. Buy things that will last, even if they cost more.
14. Acquire tools that do not depend upon electric power.
15. Learn to spend time alone with yourself in total silence - think,
reflect,
reminisce, and plan [or strategize] in silence.
16. Learn to spend time alone with yourself and your family, apart from
superficial entertainment and distractions.
17. Learn something from every situation you are in everything you hear,
see,
touch, or feel has a lesson in it. Learn a principle from every mistake you
make, from everyday life situations.
18. Make sure your trust is in the Lord and not your own preparedness.
Pattern
your preparedness according to the guidance of the Lord. Listen to what the
Lord puts in your heart - don't use only your
reasoning power.
19. Learn to enjoy simple pleasures from the smallest things - have measure
of
joy and happiness that doesn't come from creature comforts or en tertainment.
20. Store up memories for times of isolation or separation from your loved
ones.
21. Establish priorities for all of life [i.e. relationship, needs, present
needs, future needs.] Set goals for areas you'll be proficient or
self-sufficient
in. Set a schedule or time line based on money and time you can invest in
self-sufficiency.
22. Examine the concept of civil disobedience [from the Bible and history.]
At
what point should the people of Egypt have said 'no' to killing the male
babies in Moses' day? At what point should the
people of colonial America have said 'no' to King George? At what point
should
the people of Germany have said 'no' to Hitler? At what point do we say 'no'
to despots in our day - when they take
over money, our property, our guns, our children, our freedom? Decide what
is
your choke point - when do you move to civil disobedience? [For many
throughout history - it was when evil
leaders handed down edicts that were directly contrary o God's Word or
commands.] Don't set your choke point too early or too quickly, nor too
late,
nor never. Think through or calculate a
strategy - then never look back.
23. Learn to ask the right questions in every situation. [In 'Operation
Waco,'
nobody asked the right questions.]
24. Bring orderliness into your life. If you live in disorder it will pull
you
down, it will break your focus. Think focus versus distraction. Eliminate
the
distractions from your life.
25. Self-sufficiency [or survival] principles are learned on a day-to-day
basis
and must be practical.
26. Always have more than one way to escape, more than one way to do
something. Have a plan B and a plan C.
27. Everyday life [and especially crisis] requires 'up-front systems' and
'back-up systems' if the first line of defense or 'up-front systems fails.
28. Real education [or learning] only takes place when change occurs in our
attitudes, actions, and way of life.
29. Wisdom is making practical applications of what you know. It is not
enough
to know everything you need to know. It will only serve you and others if
practical application is made of that knowledge.
30. Fix in your own mind the truth about your capabilities. In a crisis
situation this principle will keep you from cockiness [or overconfidence]
and
will provide you with confidence.
31. Decide ahead of time before a crisis arrives, how you will react in a
given situation so that you are not swayed by the circumstances, the
situation, or your emotions.
32. Beware of being spread too thin in your life. Dec ide on the few things
in
life that you must do and do them well. Think focus versus distraction. Make
sure that unimportant, non-essential distractions don't keep you from
achieving your important objectives.
33. Learn to quit wasting things. Be a good steward of all that God
provides.
34. Buy an extra one of everything you use regularly and set the extra one
aside for the time when such items may be difficult or impossible to obtain.
35. In every situation, train yourself to look for what doesn't fit, for
what's
out of place, for what doesn't look right.
36. Teach your children [and yourself] that they are not obligated to give
information to a stranger. You don't have to answer questions [not even to a
government official] that are none of their business.
37. Sell or give away things you do not use or need. Consider giving away or
selling 50% of your 'stuff,' [i.e. the non-essentials.] Simplify and
streamline
your life, lifestyle and possessions.
38. Find someone who lived through the Great Depression and learn from them
how they were self-sufficient, how they made do with little, and how they
found
joy and contentment in the midst of hard times. An excellent book on this
subject is We Had Everything But Money: Priceless Memories of the Great
Depression.

Thou I do not agree with all above there many doable practices here.

[Broncojef]

It's great to be able to tell all the people on the Titanic that they should get busy building their own boat, but just how do you expect them to go about it?

Buying Silver (much cheaper in price than gold) is something any working family can buy into over time. The increase in Silver might actually be far greater than Gold as well. Buying a set amount going forward every week or year will hedge against hyper inflation that will hit at some point going forward. Everything will cost more going forward, everything...the dollar will buy less and less going forward. Buying bulk food and stocking up, canning food from a garden, building closer relationships to neighbors...lots of stuff the average person can do. Watch a movie from the time of the great depression or read a book from the timeframe of our last president to cause hyper inflation (Carter) and you can find lots of points that will help in the preparation of what will come. We should be in a depression right now the things Bush and Obama have done is put off the inevitable, unfortunately when it does hit it will be that much worse now.

I wouldn't mind those in charge lying if they are indeed working for our benefit and the good of the country behind the scenes to right the ship. Unfortunately they don't tell us the truth because they are corrupt not because they are seeking our best interest.

You have been consistant, the right under Bush thought you were an alarmist, now under Obama the left "suddenly" cannot use common sense on over-spending.

Since when has printing money and monetizing our debt been a good idea? This comming storm will hurt EVERYONE regardless of party and $ status -- the only ones who will come out on top, are those who want to use the situation to grab more power -- go figure. If it pops under an R pres -- they likely will exploit, if it pops under Obama, they will likely use it.

That might be why the continue to frame this coming problem,and every other problem they see in the context of right and left politics. I am a right of center guy, I confess, but dont see other party getting at the heart of fixing the problem. the problem, among several is: coruption, spending too much money, taking more centralized power (in order to steal money and Liberties) and putting party before the good of the American people.

I dont completely blame the Dems for being blind, as many conservatives made excuses for Bush -- so we will see how converted folks are to small government when an R gets elected.
