Frustrated by
the decline of freedom in your
country?
Sick of seeing your hard earned
dollars
fund more wars, more spying,
more regulation,
and other things that make you
less free?
Let's face it
- There is something messed up with the world we're living in.
Personal liberty is deteriorating…
The economy is on life support and could flat line any day now…
Governments around the world are getting crushed by debt, and are
resorting to financial controls and other restrictions to "fix the
economy"…
And it's all getting worse at an exponential rate.
However, let's
be clear - it's not all doom and gloom.
In fact…
For smart, rational people like you and me who are willing to break
free of the status quo, the opportunities to grow wealth, keep more
of it, and protect ourselves from out-of-control governments are
abundant.
The path to freedom and prosperity begins with a clear understanding
of the biggest problems we're up against.
And once we've identified those problems, we can take simple actions
to solve them with practical solutions that make sense no matter
what happens.
Today's
bureaucrats are making the same mistakes that didn't work last time…
Without a doubt, you're no longer living in the country you grew up
in.
Smart, responsible people want to know:
1. "What's going to
happen next?"
2. "How can I prepare
for it (and prosper from it)?"
The strange thing about the problems we're experiencing right now is
how many times they've happened before.
It's as if the bureaucrats are sitting around choosing the worst
plays from the pages of history.
At Sovereign Man, we routinely draw from historical lessons to
highlight this time is not different.
What can we
learn from previous economic/societal crashes?
Throughout the 18th century, for example, France was the greatest
superpower in Europe, if not the world.
But they became complacent, believing that they had some sort of
‘divine right' to reign supreme, and that they could be as fiscally
irresponsible as they liked.
The French government spent money like drunken sailors; they had
substantial welfare programs, free hospitals, and grand monuments.
They held vast territories overseas, engaged in constant warfare,
and even had their own intrusive intelligence service that spied on
King and subject alike.
Of course, they couldn't PAY for any of this (sound familiar?).
French budget deficits were out of control, and they resorted to
going heavily into debt and rapidly debasing their currency.
The French economy ultimately failed, bringing with it a 26-year
period of hyperinflation, civil war, military conquest, and
genocide.
Look, history is full of examples, from ancient Mesopotamia to the
Soviet Union, which show that whenever societies reach unsustainable
levels of resource consumption and allocation, they collapse.
How can we
apply this to what's happening today?
Right now, the US is consuming TRILLIONS more than it produces,
resulting in an unprecedented level of debt (over
$19,000,000,000,000 - that's nineteen trillion).
No other country in the history of the world has ever amounted this
much debt.
And other Western governments are in a similar boat - from the UK to
Greece, Spain, France (again) and Italy.
The writing is on the wall…
This level of spending is unsustainable.
And when you look at the raw numbers, there is no sign of
improvement anywhere on the horizon.
In fact…
Here's an
unfiltered look at the government's own data
Last year, the Treasury Department brought in over $3 trillion in
tax revenue, the highest amount of tax revenue in the history of the
US.
They turned around and spent that $3 trillion JUST on - mandatory - programs like Social Security and Medicare, plus the
"discretionary"
defense budget.
In other words, the US government was in the hole before paying a
dime of interest on the debt, or paying the light bill at the White
House, or anything else we consider "government" like
transportation, energy, and education.
In fact, the government's own numbers reflect a budget deficit
through the end of the decade, which means the debt level is only
going to get higher.
Look, this isn't just theory or conjecture. These are their own
figures.
Remember, we've seen this time and time again throughout history.
How "the
greatest country in the world" always collapses
The world always has a dominant superpower.
And the cycle is always the same:
Empires rise, they peak, they decline, and they collapse.
This is what happened to,
-
the Roman Empire
-
the Byzantine Empire
-
the
Ottoman Empire
-
the British Empire
-
the Persian Empire
-
the Spanish
Empire
-
the Russian Empire
-
the Mongol Empire…
...and so on…
The 20th century was dominated by the rise and peak of
the "US Empire."
And now?
The US is rapidly declining and heading toward collapse...
So how much
time is left on the proverbial countdown clock?
And what will they do to try to kick the can down the road a bit
longer?
There isn't a clear answer.
What is clear, is something is going to give.
Like a dam bursting starts with a small crack…
The cracks are abundant in the the current system, and no amount of
cement can cure them.
Look…
This is the system we're currently living under:
-
A tiny elite has
total control of the money supply.
-
They wield
intrusive spy networks and weapons of mass destruction.
-
They can
confiscate the wealth of citizens in their sole discretion.
-
They can indebt
unborn generations.
It's not working...
And just about everyone knows it.
Given that the majority of Western governments borrow money just to
pay interest on money they've already borrowed, it's obvious the
current game is almost finished.
When it ends, there will be a reset… potentially a tumultuous one.
Here's why
this is so important, at this very moment
The truth is, no one knows exactly where we are right now.
We don't know whether we're 6 months or 6 years away from a big
reset.
However, we do know a big reset is on the way, because this is not a
consequence-free environment.
And if history continues to repeat itself, our government will take
drastic measures to protect the status quo.
-
Your retirement accounts are ripe for the picking… most likely via
the forced purchase of "safe" government bonds, which President
Obama has already begun to outline in his MyRA plan. Meanwhile,
governments such as Ireland and Australia have already begun
increasing taxes on retirement accounts.
-
Civil liberties will continue to be infringed upon… from telling us
what we can and cannot eat, to charging people for collecting rain
water or producing raw milk, to increasing checkpoints and even more
draconian restrictions.
-
Dissent will not be tolerated. We've seen fear and intimidation
policing steadily rising in North America, Europe, and most of the
West. It's very unlikely to cease anytime soon. And with the ability
to freeze citizens out of their savings at their own discretion
(among other things), the government will continue to tighten its
grip.
-
Capital controls will continue to increase. Limits on withdrawals.
Limits per month. Even more Suspicious Activity Reports. All in the
name of "protecting the people from terrorism."
These are all possibilities, many of which have already begun, and
with them come many more.
But as we've discussed…along with all the bad comes incredible
opportunity.
See, there is one FAR greater trend across history that supersedes
all of the rest…
And that trend is the RISE of humanity.
We will rise
(and a select few will prosper)…
Human beings are fundamentally tool creators.
We take problems and turn them into opportunities.
We find solutions.
We adapt and overcome.
Sovereign Man is all about helping you to create a life where you
will be OK and even THRIVE no matter what happens.
We'll discuss exactly how you can adapt and overcome with practical
solutions in just a moment.
It's critical to point out the world is not coming to an end.
It's going to reset.
There's a huge difference between the two.
So how can you protect your family's liberty and prosperity with
solutions that make sense no matter what happens?
Don't put all
of your eggs in one basket…
This saying is at the core of what we do at Sovereign Man.
Simply, it means don't bet your whole life and future on one single
country.
You don't have to live, work, bank, invest, save for retirement,
etc., all in the same country of your citizenship.
The world is a big place, and frankly, there are a lot better and
safer places to store your savings than in an insolvent Western
bank.
We utilize international diversification to help you make more
money, keep more of it, and free yourself from out of control
governments.
And because…
Smart, responsible people must have a Plan B
First and foremost, how do you fully protect your family's liberty,
wealth, and future?
How do you ensure that whether a cataclysmic event happens 6 months
from now or 6 years, the solutions you're implementing make sense no
matter what?
These are the solutions we provide at Sovereign Man.
For example…
-
If another financial shock hits the world and banks start to
collapse… You will be OK, because your savings will be in a bank
that is 10 times more liquid than your neighbor (plus, you'll earn
5.0% or more on your deposits rather than the paltry 0.25% offered
in the US and Europe)…
-
If your country is bankrupt and starts imposing even more draconian
financial controls and other restrictions, you'll be OK since a
portion of your savings and investments will be overseas. You'll
even have an alternative residency established in a thriving place,
which could yield you a second passport down the line.
-
And if your government starts making a grab for retirement savings
(which is exactly what's beginning to happen in Ireland and
Australia), your funds will be safe and secure in much more
lucrative investments overseas.
