This is part 2 of my interview with John S Pennington Jr.  Make sure to listen to Part 1 first. Allen   It seems like I mean, because all the stuff you're mentioning, you know, Ray Dalio in his books, he talks about it too, you know, like, how does one Empire take over from another one? And it's because of the the currency, it's because of you know, and he's been talking about it for a while that there's a collision course coming. And everybody's afraid of it. You know, I mean, I'm even afraid of it. Because if we go to war in 10 years from now, you know, I have two boys that are 13 and 11, they're probably going to be drafted because everybody in the United States is overweight, and they can't fight it. So there's got to be some, right? There's gonna be some serious problem with the Army not having enough people. So my kids are gonna be fighting in a war. I don't want them fighting in and like, everybody's freaking out about it. And like you said, you know, China, they brokered the deal. They're making friends in the Middle East. They're making friends in Africa. They're giving loans like you said, US gave loans to everybody. They gave loans in trillions of dollars, not even billions, but I think it was trillions of worth of loans to build infrastructure in Africa that is then maintained owned and run by Chinese. It's not run by the Africans, the Chinese are in charge of it, the Silk Road Project that they built those highways all the way from China all the way to the, you know, the Mediterranean. I mean, yeah, they've been doing it crazy. And so it seems like everything that you're saying it lines up. And it's like, now that we see John   last year in the last year and a half, while the last few months, India has stopped on some level, not all the way stopped buying Russian oil. They just read some reports this last month that they have, they have curbed their Russian oil purchases. Really. Okay. Now, I don't know exactly why. But I do know, there's tons of companies that have moved from China, to South Korea, Thailand, and India. And I believe India is now choosing Wait a minute, we want to be in good graces with the United States because that's where we're going to suck up all those jobs on China. They're going to come to India. Right. And I think India's Modi, President Modi over there is making a strategic move to go with you know, the US dollar and to do that he's got to appease the the United States by saying you know what, Russia, we even though your oil is cheaper, doesn't matter. We're gonna go with US dollar purchases for oil. That Allen   could be because China is also having territorial disputes now with India over certain areas. It's funny because we have a an oil Options program where we train, we do coaching on oil options, and we you could see it in the news play out when Russia was putting all their tanks on the border of Ukraine, you know, everybody knew it, they're coming in, they're going to invade and everybody was like, when is it gonna happen? When is it gonna happen? I told her, I'll tell all my traders it's like, you know, just wait. It's not going to happen until the Olympics are open. Olympics are over because the Olympics are in China is like they have the closing ceremonies, like four hours later, boom, there's an invasion. It's like, okay, now we can play it now. It's, you know, it's, yeah, he was insane. So now you said, now I'm trying to figure out like, okay, alright, how can I make money off of this? Right. So it's like you said that Russia and China are still buying gold. So is that? Is that an investment that's going to continue to ramp up because I think gold is at all time highs right now? John   Yeah, it's all time high. Silver is kind of trying to get up there. But Silver's having a tough time. So let's go to Okay, let's go to the summer of 2020. All right, summer 2020. The SEC, which is part of the team, you have the team, you know, US dollar, the SEC sues JP Morgan. What are they suing him for? They're suing him for manipulating the precious metals market for nine years. Silver gold, okay. And they lose, JPMorgan loses and they're fined almost a billion dollars a billion dollar fine for nine years and mutilation the SEC. Okay. The point is, JP Morgan figured out how to manipulate and control a market that's 30 times bigger than Bitcoin. Gold and silver and gold for nine years. And they finally SEC found out about it pseudonym wins, finds you billion dollars, but guess what, no one that I know of went to jail. Allen   I mean, it wasn't that big in the news, they get headlines, John   kind of kept quiet, right. So millions of people that buy and sell silver and gold were fleeced out of how know how many much money but no one goes to jail. But you just find they probably made 20 billion but they're only find a billion it was it was 930 million, but I rounded a billion because we talked about a billion seconds earlier. Right? Okay, so nine 30 million, but close to a billion dollars. All right. So my theory in my book that I explain is you have precious metals market that have been manipulated through using futures and all kinds of different manipulations. And a year from there, now you're in summer of 2021. Bitcoin is trading around $31,000. This is July. Okay. So August, September, October, November, four months later, Bitcoin hits all time high $69,000. My theory is that the Federal Reserve, US government viewed Bitcoin as a competitor possible to the US dollar. And so they took the playbook that they learned from JP Morgan, and I think they had JP Morgan personnel help them do it right. Clandestine to control try to control Bitcoin. And that's why it went from 31,000 to 16,000 in a four, three and a half month period of time. So November it hits $69,000. And so how are the way that you control Bitcoin? Well, one JP Morgan used a futures market. Okay, now what I'm about to tell you all these things that I'm gonna tell you happen in November 2021. Okay, one bitcoin hits all time high. Number two, the SEC approves a Bitcoin ETF not I first bought only four futures right and they denied grayscale the spot one Why would you approve one for futures and not one for spot doesn't make any sense. So that happened November also, also November and Allen   hold that for people who are listening to spot means the current price futures means prices in advance. So the actual the actual Bitcoin John   not a Hypothecation the actual non derivative, the actual Bitcoin, right? So the SEC says no you can't you can't operate, we're not gonna allow you to operate a ETF that actually buys Bitcoin, we're only going to allow this other company, an ETF that actually buys futures on contracts, right just contracts, which is the what the way JP Morgan was one of the ways they were able to manipulate the silver and gold market for nine years. Okay, that's the third thing that happened in November, the SEC extends their lawsuit against a ripple XRP coin. Why XRP from the nanosecond XRP was invented. Its one goal was what to do to circumvent the SWIFT system, which would decrease the demand for US dollars. So the SEC extends the EC the lawsuit for no apparent reason. And they just kind of lost it. They lost the SEC last last summer, and then they appealed. So they're this lawsuit still going on against XRP? Okay, a former thing that happened in this month, in November, Hillary Clinton came out and said, Bitcoin could damage the US dollars, reserve world currency. Now, again, back to probabilities and predictions, you can say she just went to a microphone and just talking. That's you can believe that, or what's the is that a probability high probability? Or is the probability that she had been privy to previous meetings months earlier, that the Federal Reserve was going to try to pinch Bitcoin control, they don't want to kill it, they just want to control it. And so she got in front of microphone, which she loves to do to tell all her memes. Hey, listen to me, I always know the truth. I always give you the truth. Guess what the Bitcoin could take over the US currency, which is our number one product and why so he's she's sending a coded message, maybe? Maybe not. But the probability, I think the probability is high that she had some information that the government was using a clandestine approach to try to control Bitcoin, Allen   because she was a congresswoman and she was sitting on committees and all that, yes, yes. John   One other way you can control a traded commodity or traded stock or whatever or bitcoin is if you can get 45 to 60 days of trading volume, meaning if if bitcoin trades 100 coins a day, you would need 4500 coins. If it trades 1000 coins a day, you would need 45,000 coins are 60,000 coins. This is what how you do it. So let's just say hypothetically, that from July 2021 to November 2021, the Federal Reserve had to obtain 45 days of trading bonds 66 days trading bond that means they have to buy bitcoin. They're buying Bitcoin buying Bitcoin buying Bitcoin buying Bitcoin buying Bitcoin, that means the price is going up, up, up, up up. Once they have 45 or six days of trading volume, they take their 45 Day Trading bond, and they stick it at six $9,000. And they put it there for sale, all this at a limit price 60,000 or so we start buying you buy I buy we're buying. And then we keep hitting 69 69,006 96 Night Out signal, there's a ceiling, there's a price ceiling, the ceiling, and we can see it and we go Wait, there's a big seller at 16,000 or so mean, you start selling. So we start selling everyone starts selling and it goes down to 68,000. Guess who's buying at 60,000 The Federal Reserve, they're replenishing their 60 day supply or 45 day supply of trading volume. So that mean you go Wait, there's a buyer at 68,000 and we start buying again. And it goes to 68,000. They don't let it go to 69 because that would be a bullish chart, right? They can have a they can have a higher high. They can have a lower high and they put their 45 day trading volume boom right there as 68,800 and they start selling and same thing happens. We sell and it goes down. That's one way you can control a market right now. So lately as we know, Bitcoin has hit a new all time high. Yeah. And so maybe maybe what happened was, this is there's another hypothesis. Maybe they realized they alone couldn't do it. Okay. So last summer, the SEC basically told 11 companies Listen, we're going to approve 11 companies all at the same time to try A Bitcoin spot and ETF spot so they approved 11 ETFs to trade Bitcoin spot. Now, what I think happened in October, Bitcoin was trading 31,000 27,000 31,000 31,000 27,000 27,000 If Gessner of the head of the SEC told them Hey, guess what we're going to do? In a few months we're going to let you guys start trading Bitcoin what you guys should do is buy a Bitcoin to control the market. So Bitcoin went from 27,000 to sweat 72,000 Something like that. Right? Yeah, today, but I'm saying I'm saying on January I think was January 11. Okay, all the Bitcoin went up 11 Bitcoin went alive, right? Okay. Now think about what just happened on January 11. There are record number of buying a Bitcoin record number. And in 11, or 12 days, it goes from, from where it's at down to $39,000. Why there's a record number of buyers, it should go up. But wait, if all the ETFs bought at 31,000, knee ETFs, bought at 32,000 35,000 42,000 If they were buying it, so that when the ETFs went live, they could sell it to you. That's why the price went down. There's no other there's no other explanation. Because if they had bought zero, when a record numbers came in to buy bitcoin, they would have to take your US dollars and go buy Bitcoin that would go up, the way it goes down. It went down like 18% in 11 days with record inflows, that means that I believe BlackRock and all the other 1011 ETFs are in on the game of manipulation of Bitcoin, right? And so this is back to my theory that no matter what it is, if it's the yuan, or if it's gold, if it's Bitcoin, and it and it has the potential of damaging the number one product of all time, the Federal Reserve, the US Navy, the president, the SEC, the IRS, even the CIA, that's their number one job. Now, a lot of times Congress forgets their number one job. Allen   I was gonna ask you about that, too. I was like Congress get the memo. Because yeah, John   they don't get it. But but but people criticize. Powell had the federal they criticized him all the time. I don't. I think he's doing a great job. Listen, if we went back in time, okay, we'll go back in time, Alan, we're going back to 30 years, okay. 30 years ago, I said, you're going to be the head of the Federal Reserve. Okay. And I'm going to be Congress, right? Your job is to protect and promote the US dollar. And all I do that Congress, I spend trillion, I spend a trillion, I spend a trillion, I spend a trillion, I spend a trillion. And I say to you, hey, figure out how to pay for it. Right? So you can criticize Powell all you want. But man, he's still we still are 58% of the world reserve currency. And the Congress doesn't stop spending. It's like a couple. You have a couple one spouse spends tons of money on credit cards, and they turn the other spouse pay for it. Right. And Powell must be just for it. If I was I'd be screwed top my lungs, would you guys stop spending? All you got to stop because I'm doing my best to keep this number one product afloat around the world. I'm doing my best. Right. And so I don't criticize Powell. I've actually under the circumstances, I think he's doing a fantastic job, even though people call him stupid. People don't like what he says. But I don't listen to what he says. I just listen when he does. And I and I realize he has a partner called the US Congress. Who is there just out of control spending? Yep. And he's done it. He's doing a great job by keeping our agreements accepted around the world. Yeah, Allen   I agree with you. I mean, you know, after COVID, and all that money that was spent on everything, you know, to maintain it to not even go into recession to have Yeah, inflation was a it could have been a lot worse than who it was. Without all that spending all that money that's just unaccounted for. So John   I think right now, the Congress is spending about $1 trillion every four or five months, six months. That's, that's, that's what's going on right now. That's just amazing. So back to your question. As you can tell, I have long answers. Gold, silver, Bitcoin real estate, okay. If you keep spending a trillion dollars every six months, additionally, items are going to go up in price. Gold, silver, Bitcoin, eventually, it's just going to bubble up you. It's kind of you almost can't stop it. Right. wheat, wheat soybeans, I mean, real estate farmland, if you just give a trillion dollars every six months, and how long can the us do this? I bet they can. You know, look, look the US Dollar might be the greatest Ponzi scheme ever invented a headline, it might it might be, but this is the thing. There is no mathematical way to taper a large Ponzi scheme, it can't be done. So therefore, the only way to play it all out is to play it all the way through. Okay, just to play it out, right? Let's don't get mad at me. I didn't create this. I was born into this system. Right? I am pro US dollar. Why? Because I'm in the Ponzi scheme, because all of our money is in US dollars. I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning and have the US dollar at zero because I will be broke. My parents will be living in my basement. My kids who live in my basement way my my house would be for sale because I'd be broke because everything I have almost is in US dollars. Right? Bait US dollar based, right? I have some bitcoin I have some gold. I have some real estate, right. But it's US dollar base. You too. We're we're in the Ponzi scheme. Okay. So therefore I think with the US think about the US Navy, think about the powers think about everything they could they could for what proliferate this for another 20 3050 years. They are very powerful. The Federal Reserve is the most powerful entity, along with the US Navy, along with the IRS along with the SEC along with the President. They are incredible team. And look, look, you know, China, only having 2.7% 2.7% of the world reserve currency, and we have 58% and the Euros 20%. And they got it they got a big mountain to climb, right, and they can climb it, but it's gonna take a long time. But the problem is this. Again, China is now printing more money than we're printing. Because they're in a they're in a 1929 depression right now. It's bad over there. Unemployment is youth unemployment, ages 18 to 30. is so bad China stopped reporting it. That's how bad it is. They don't report it anymore. Yeah, the estimates they have, if you are a college aged kid in China, college, graduated kid in China, and you're in a big city. This is 18 to 30 years old, okay? You graduate in college, and you have a job. Your average salary is $700 to $950 a month. Wow. That's the average salary right now in a big city. In China. They're in a 1929 depression. So they're not going to fix this in one to six months. It's going to be years to fix this in China. And the US is, I believe, putting pencils on them trying to even control them because they're sending a message to Saudi Arabia. Anyway, so this is people go man, John, you really got a lot of information, like you just said, you have all this information. And you put together like a puzzle, right? And it's conspiracy theory. And I go, it might be I might be totally wrong. But it just keeps fitting together. The more I put more puzzle pieces together, they keep fitting. Yeah. So Allen   I have another question. And this is about a different commodity. Now, we talked a little bit of we talked about how the Fed control the prices of Bitcoin, how the Fed is controlled, trying to try and try to trying to or and how it's handling other issues. What do you think? Do you or do you think that they're doing something similar to oil prices? Because it's not oil? Yeah. It's not directly tied to the dollar, but it is tied to the economy. And yeah, John   yeah. So I remember when President Biden took office is first thing he did was he turned off the Keystone pipeline to Canada. And I was like, why? Allen   environmental reasons, right? Why John   would you do that? And I put the US dollar in, wait a minute, we have to buy some oil from Saudi Arabia. So we, as a gesture to Saudi Arabia, to keep oil prices up, we turn off the Keystone pipeline to reduce oil here in North America, so that Saudi Arabia can have a better something like that. And they you know, there is some type of manipulation a little bit around the world, but oil is huge, right? Everyone's got a little bit oil and some kinds of we have a lot of oil for some reason. Saudi Arabia has a lot. Russia has a lot. And so but I would say to you that oil is a commodity base is every once in a while manipulated, but you know, turning off spigots reduces supply, which increases so but what's happened is for the oil trader, your old traders the next 510 years, maybe five years, everyone has gone green, and they're making solar panels and windmills in Germany, right. And they've been the last, you know, since that big huge problem that we had in that tidal wave in Japan. With that nuclear reactor over there, that nuclear power plant, everyone went away from nuclear. So we went through this last winter I believe there were power outages or power Our reductions in Germany, Canada, there are places that just had was worried about their power being right. And so what happens is, so many people have swung over to the green agenda, which is a good thing. They've left the agenda in buying Chevron and Exxon Mobil, and they've left they've left, and so at Chevron, Exxon Mobil have stopped or reduced their exploration because they don't have as much money. Right? Okay. And therefore, that's going to keep oil prices higher. So what the green initiative has done is encouraged oil prices to be higher, because they've reduced the amount of money that can explore and extract more oil. So they've reduced it, therefore there's less of it, therefore, oil will be higher in the future. And I know, Saudis have turned down their spigot lately, you know, for the oil. And so I know that's happening. But oil is a long term play, mostly for me. It's a long term play, but I just kind of try to find the trend. And it seems like, to me the trend is up in general, because of what I just explained. Makes Allen   sense. Yeah. I mean, I tell people that you know, back in the day, the rich man used to have an engine, like a car with an engine and everybody else was on horses, right? Yeah. And then it became commonplace. And then it became the rich man had the electric vehicle, because he had to be rich to have a and then now it's gonna flip and it's gonna be like, Okay, now the rich guy has the combustible engine, and everybody else is driving the electric vehicles. And the really John   rich man has a horse. He hasn't a stable. You guys once a month. You know what I mean? Exactly. Back to the horse. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Allen   Cool. All right. So I do want to wrap it up with going into the future now, because we you know, you mentioned conspiracy theory. And now this one is, I see it coming. But the US digital dollar. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So let's do I want to hear on stage. John   You've heard me on stage on stage, I show a picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was a bodybuilder. And I show when he's an actor, and I show him as a governor. Arnold Schwarzenegger reinvented himself three times. The US dollar has to reinvent itself. It was gold in 1933. It was the Bretton Woods, you know, we will back the the French franc in 1944. In 1971, it turned into the Fiat dollar of the petro dollar. And now it's going to go into the digital age. And it's coming, I just don't know how long it's going to take for them to manufacture a crisis, that we will accept the US digital dollar, they have to have a crisis versus except for right now. No one wants to accept it. Because once you accept it, everyone knows what you spent your money on. Right? Because right Allen   now, I mean, you have credit cards, and you have wire transfers. And so like, what's the point? Why do we need that right? Well, John   but I can pay cash for something, and you don't know what I bought. Right? Right. And so but but once the digital dollar hits, and it's mandatory, everything, you know, there won't be there won't be I can imagine there won't be a tax return anymore. If you buy something at Walmart, the nanosecond, you buy it, a few pennies will go to Washington DC, every single day. And if you're buying Chinese goods, there's 17 pennies that go to Washington DC. If you're buying US goods, there's four pennies go into wash DC every time you buy something. So if you if you transfer money from your phone to your kids, so they can buy lunch at school today, every time you transfer money, there's two pennies going to go. So there's no tax returns. Everyone knows or not everyone, the federal government would know everything you spend your money on, where you spend your money. And they might say Well, that would reduce drug trafficking, that will reduce illegal activities that reduce a lot of things because everything is tracked, there is no gold, there is no silver, there is no Bitcoin, we have to outlaw it. And it might be and I hypothecate In my book, let's go to May 2033. That's the 100th anniversary of the gold confiscation that people said no, that can never happen America Well, in 1933. In May, they confiscated all our gold. And in May 19 In May 2033, it might come to the point where for the good of the country, the country is in so big of debt. If we could just collect all of our taxes from our citizens, we could pay our bills, but we can't because too many people are using gold. Too many people are using Bitcoin too many people are using cash and we can't track that and and that's how people cheat on their taxes. But if we switched to the US digital dollar, no one can cheat on their taxes. When they buy a boat we know it when they pay for lunch, we know it right and we collect our taxes, therefore as to be patriotic. Everyone must have if you own a business you no longer accept cash You know, alongside Bitcoin, you know, because we have to sugar up the US economy, and it's patriotic. And this is this hypothetical, but may 9, may 2033, just 100 year anniversary, it could happen if they can create, and I'm saying create a crisis in the American mind, where we're gonna go bankrupt United States unless we switch the US digital dollar. And that's the savior now. So something like that that's a hypothetical. You might it might be, it might be a cyber attack. You know, I don't know if you remember this, this, I think 2012 Maybe you remember a little country called Cyprus. Allen   I know of a John   little country called Cyprus, right. on a Monday morning, everyone woke up went to their bank. And the rich people who had I don't know the number, but it was over 100,000 are over 500,000 in their bank, half of their money was gone. The country confiscated half of the savings accounts of our all the rich people, because the country tried to go to the EU over the weekend, because they were bankrupt. and the EU turned them down. They said, Look, we'll give us a loan. They said no. So the EU turned them down. So the only thing that country could do was over the weekend, confiscate half of the money in all the bank and this is digital, this digital dollars, your digital, you can do this. They confiscated half of the money. And they said basically to the people, aren't you glad we did that? Because we wouldn't have done that. Your your your country, you'd have been worth zero. All your money would have been the zero we confiscated half of it, to pay for the government to keep us alive and open so that you could have half your money. This happened in Cyprus. Wow. So, you know, we when you say when you use the word, US government cannot. That's the wrong word. No, there's no Federal Reserve cannot that no, you should use shouldn't, wouldn't. But couldn't isn't a right word. Because in a digital age, everything is possible. They can change laws they can it's when people are desperate. And Money makes people desperate. Or lack of money makes people desperate. Things just happen that you thought could never happen. And I'm sure those people in Cyprus thought it could never happen. But on a Monday morning, it happened. Oh, yeah. She's, Allen   I mean, like you mentioned in the book, you talked about the Commerce Clause, right? And yeah, and I remember after 911, the government passed the Patriot Act, you know, it's a great, great name for a bill or a Patriot Act. Yeah. What does it mean? It means basically, if you look at it, they can take anybody off the street, pick you up, throw you in a hole, you have no representation. No, you can't talk to anybody for as long as they want as long as you are under suspicion. And it doesn't matter if you're a citizen or not. And it's like, okay, what happened to our liberties? What happened to the Constitution? Oh, it's not there anymore. Sorry. You know, so yeah, you're right. They can do basically anything. John   The word the word cannot, should not be in your sentence with the US government shouldn't wouldn't Yes, but cannot or couldn't. Don't don't say those words together with the US government. As Allen   you remember, when Modi took over in India, they had supposedly they had problems with, you know, the mafia and illegal gambling and illegal monies and all that. So he made everybody turn in their higher dollar notes. Yes, exactly. It's like everybody to come into cash and other notes and the people that bring it in, we'll baskets and stuff. So it John   he actually it was pretty thought out because he said the poor people need a $1 $5 bill or $10. Bill, the rich people, you don't need hundreds and $500 bills, you can all you do that electronically. You want to transfer large amounts of money, it's electronic. You want to transfer for tips, or you want to pay your guy to shine your shoes or mow your lawn. You still have small bills, because look, it's really hard to transfer $1,000,000,001 bills, because it would take up a whole truckload right? So, so that was Modi's compromise to keep the poor having money in their pocket, and to hinder the rich, or the drug dealers or whoever, for moving large amounts of money. It all has to be electronically because electronically, we can track it. Allen   Yeah, so I mean, that could be something that they do here. You know, let's take away the $100. Bill. We used to have $1,000 bills, right, I think yeah, back in the day. Yeah. A John   long time ago. Yeah. Yeah. Allen   So okay, so you're saying that in nine years is 2023 or 33 2033. And you also say in your book that every 10 years, there is some kind of financial catastrophe or collapse or John   if you think about it since 1971, okay, we won the fiat currency system. Okay. Okay, and this is roughly nine or 10 years, okay? The economy goes, boom, right? And there's opportunity. So 1971 Give me a few years for the fiat currency to get going. Okay, the petro dollar. In 1988, there was a stock market crash. And soon after that, the Berlin Wall came down, the Soviet Union crushed. And I took advantage of that I started selling us Levi's, the Eastern Bloc country, okay. 1999 comes around the.com bubble, right. And I missed it. There was a huge opportunity in internet. I knew it was going on, I just couldn't figure out how to make money at it. And it went, boom, and I missed that opportunity. Okay, 99 2000. Then in 2008, nine ish, there was a great recession. And I took great advantage of I started a huge fund that eventually was managing a family of funds, the lost family funds, 2008, that eventually, in 2021, was managing $28 billion assets under management. And today manages like 47 billion. Okay. And then 2020, there was the pandemic, right. And then we launched other funds called, they were called opportunities on funds that had huge tax advantages that we launched funds in that. So about every 10 years or so, since the fiat currency of 1971, the petro dollar, every 10 years, you know, it goes, the economy just goes boom, and boom means there's opportunity. And so a lot of the funds that started in real estate funds that started 289, and 10 made a ton of money, you can still make a lot of money, real estate, but we made a ton of money, because the economy was just blanketed low and we could buy things so cheap in 2009 and 10. It was it was crazy. So Allen   I don't know. I mean, we might be close to that timeline, you know, but 10 years and 33. It's somewhere in there. Well, John   are 2029, you know, 29? Right in there, right in there. 20 930-228-2930. Right there. That's about 10 more years. That's the tenure since the last one ish, right? Yeah. Allen   Do you have anything on your antenna that you're noticing now that would go boom? John   Well, again, it might be the US digital dollar that goes into it might be an opportunity there. Because, you know, maybe this is this, this is way out there. But maybe Congress is spending and spending and spending and spending and spending for a lot of reasons. But one reason is to cause a crisis. Well, so that we could be forced to go to the digital dollar. Oh, my right. Yeah, that's just a crazy i That's i That's not my blood, because that's just a crazy theory. But because I can't think I cannot figure out why. What's the purpose of this? Like, I can't figure out why President Biden lets all these illegals coming off our southern border. Yeah, I don't I don't get I know there's a reason. But I don't really understand the reason I'm trying to figure it out. And I haven't figured that one out yet. And yet, I can't figure out why the US Congress can't just stop spending some money. It might just be there's no conspiracy, they just spin spin spin. But it might just there might be another underlying reason. They're trying to force it because they look to get us to go the US digital dollar, there has to be a cyber attack, there has to be some big crisis, something like in Cyprus, that would cause us to go, okay. I'm okay with that. Like right now, we have five and a quarter percentage rates, you know why we're okay with that, because we had 9% inflation. But if we had 1%, inflation, we would never accept a five and a quarter percentage rate. So there has to be some type of crisis to get people to do things they don't want to do. And we no one wants to go to the Digital's digital dollar. But you would in a situation, there's scenarios that you would you would switch Yeah. Allen   And at this point, there's no alternative. And the Fed, like you said, is making it that way. And that's their job to make sure there's no alternative. Oh my Well, John, I really appreciate your time we've gone over thank you so much for it. And again really fun, everybody it's dollars gold and Bitcoin available at Amazon, get your copy. And we've touched everything in here. There's more in here that that is also John   on audible.com If you'd like my voice, you can listen to me for six hours and because I recorded the whole thing and all the time so if you don't read books, you listen to books, you can continue to listen to Mike scratchy voice for six more hours. Allen   Thank you so much. I appreciate you and everything that you've shared with us. John   Thank you very much for having me.

Take back the key to your reality. It’s Sunday, so that can only mean one thing people! It’s time to head further into the fray with Mitch and Mills on another episode of Dorothy and the Dealer.  This week the dynamic duo are admitting their responsibility to talk about tough subjects and why AWARENESS is the answer to living an inspired life!!  So, how are we meant to see things like the pandemic, the media, and issues in America? Well, it all depends on your ability to wake your conscious mind. - Don’t get angry or distracted by the issue. When you think something is positive/negative you’re causing lopsidedness and perpetuating the issue. - Discuss things! If you aren’t discussing it, then it has control over you. - Focus on your path. It’s not your job to deal with it. - Navigate issues from the inside out - realise the biases, agendas and subconscious perceptions influencing us. - Question the narrative! Don’t assume everyone’s intentions align with yours. Remember, whenever something is trying to take you away from the essence and nature of who you are it is something to question. So take back the key to your reality. Awareness is our responsibility.

In general, most people agree that America has come a long way since the Civil Rights Movement. We've had a black president for goodness sakes. For that reason, many of our white brothers and sisters don't think racism exists anymore. But black people face some form of racism on a daily basis. Now, you may wonder, what does the 'heart of man' have to do with racism in America? Well, the 'heart of man,' correlates with one’s beliefs about other ethnicities and cultures. But first, let's look at the definition of racism so that we are all on the same page.  What is racism  According to Merriam-Webster, racism is racial prejudice or discrimination. Dictionary.com defines racism as follows. It is a policy and/or system of government. And sadly, hatred and intolerance of other races is the driving force behind racism. Therefore, a racist believes the ideology that one's own racial group is superior to others. Those definitions are   For instance, if a man thinks he is superior to another person based on his skin color--then he is a racist. So, after seeing what racism is, self-reflection is so important. Because when most people know better, they aim to do better. But that all depends upon a person’s heart.   I really like what the Holy Bible says about race in Acts 17:26 New King James Version. “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,”  The heart of man  So then why does racism [hate and intolerance] exist? The Holy Bible well answers that question. Genesis 6:5 New International Version says, “The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.”   Mark 7:21-23 New Living Translation says, “21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”  Now from those two scriptures, we can see why racism is easy for some people. Hence, the title and discussion of this podcast episode; The Heart of Man—Racism in America.  The world at a standstill revealed the truth about racism in America  In the wake of COVID-19, the coronavirus pandemic forced the world to be still. During that time, people around the world were home on their devices. Thus, when the video of the arrest and murder of George Floyd posted, it sent shockwaves around the world. Because a racist white police officer pressed his knee in Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. The world saw the life leave George Floyd as he and by-standers begged for his life.  Truth is, the murders of black people by racist police officers are not a shock to the black community. That's why for black people the police invoke feelings of fear and anxiety. Whereas for white people, police invoke feelings of safety and protection.  You see, the Presumption of Innocence does not apply to black people when faced with a racist officer.   Black Lives Matter—a point of contention  When some people hear or see the phrase 'Black Lives Matter' it is a point of contention. The phrase deeply offends them. And they reply to it with the phrase 'All Lives Matter.' Well, that is a really good sentiment. But truth is, all lives do not matter to all people.  Put very simply, when hate and intolerance fills the heart of man, black people get a front row seat to racism in America.   So, to my non-black brothers and sisters who believe all lives matter--I offer this litmus test. If tomorrow you woke up a black person, how would you feel? In other words, if you had to live the rest of your life as a black person in America--would you be okay with that? Or would you become overwhelmed with fear?

If you have ever question the validity of astrology before, I can tell you that in this episode when I look at Donald Trump's chart and how it connects to the chart of America it's no accident.   America was in a huge cycle of change before the election and Donald Trump is the catalyst that brings every flaw of our system to the surface.   When we look at Astrological Charts, it's really important to think about how the person is utilizing their gifts. I approach discussing Donald Trump's chart and the chart of America this way, since I don't know Donald Trump and I've never had a session with him. I did a lot of research and I pulled different clips from the media that just illustrate what I'm observing in terms of Donald Trump’s Astrology.   Trump was born a Gemini and his Sun is in the 10th house which means he loves being in the public and with his Sun is also conjunct (with) the planet Uranus which is about being a maverick or revolutionary that's unpredictable. The planet Uranus also connects to broadcasting and a wider audience so right away we know this is a guy that enjoys being in the public light.   He also has Leo Rising with the planet Mars there which means he loves to be noticed. He wants to be admired, thrives on competition and he also loves to win.   Example: Opening Sound Track “the Apprentice”   He enjoys not following the rules and his personality likes to rev people up and get a reaction.   Megan Kelly & Trump interview clip: “One of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and you don't use a politician's filter. However that is not without its downsides. In particular when it comes to women You've called women you don't like fat pigs dogs and bees fast and disgusting animals.”   Trump replies, “Only Rosie O'Donnell.”   Donald Trump's chart is definitely not designed for an inherent sensitivity towards others. He's driven to do things that make him feel good and gets him what he wants.   Donald Trump sound bite on Political Correctness: “ I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. I've been. I've been challenged by so many people and I don't frankly have time for total political correctness. And to be honest with you this country doesn't have time either”   in his case the planet Mercury is in Cancer which makes him very sensitive and impressionable. He doesn't overthink his answers, he more responds with his feelings and is likely to be unclear with others and is susceptible to deception.   I'm not just saying that because he uses the line fake news a lot. He is wired to look at things in a way that supports what he believes to be true.   In this interview with Matt Lauer, you can hear Trump take a position on an issue, and change it to suit himself.   Matt Lauer says, “But the things you've said about President Obama and that he is not doing so well and yet when referring to a comment that Putin made about you, I think he called you, “a brilliant leader.” You said it's always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his country and beyond.”   Trump responded, “Well he does have an 82 percent approval rating according to the different pollsters. “ The reason I'm putting these clips in is so that you can actually hear how Trump is using his chart. And so when he describes something as though it's fact when in actuality it isn't a fact.   Nina Bolivia, a political science researcher from Moscow University explains the reality of Putin’s popularity.   “Where do these 84 percent really exist? I put up that question and the mystery is a key word, because the regime creates the numbers, which all authoritarian regimes do. They try to show to the world that they are supported by people. I want to prove that there are no 84 percent majority support Putin.”   Trump’s chart shows he loves a good fight, and leading up to his presidency, he was sued over thirty six hundred times, over the course of 30 years. (USA today, 2016) That is one lawsuit every other day for 30 years. You have to ask yourself why and how is it, that the only way you can come to some agreement or work something out is to get sued?   Remember the planet Mars rules lawsuits in his chart and it's on his ascendant, which is how he presents his personality to the world. Fighting doesn't wear him out at all, it just fuels his energy to fight more and try to get his way.   The big irony is that as the elected President, he took an oath to uphold the laws, not ignore them.  In order to learn more about how Trump is impacting America, we need to understand America's chart. America's birthdate is July 4th 1776. America is a Cancer country, She’s the motherland blessed with a lot of resources of our own, and a lot that are shared with others. This is indicated with America’s Sun and Mercury in the 8th house.   Another key quality described in America’s chart is that we have been tasked with being the pillar of good ideas that stand for something in the world. The planet Saturn is about structure and authority and in the sign of Libra in the 10th house, means that justice, fairness, and a certain objectivity is something that we strive for and act as an example.   Our relationships with allies are not always smooth, but there is a sense that there is some security and good intentions behind the relationships. America’s role in standing for something, actually has served as an anchor to help guide and be a rudder for our relationships in the world.   When we go back to Donald Trump, how does his chart affect America? Well you might have guessed that his abrupt unpredictable reactive personality probably doesn't work well, and it doesn't.   Trump’s Sun and Uranus sit in America’s seventh house which describes how we interact in our partnerships, in his case he is unpredictable and more interested in his own position. This is further complicated by the square his planets make with America’s Neptune in the 9th house which represents foreign land, foreign people, and international agreements.   Whenever Neptune is involved the potential for idealism, false hopes or deception is high. He might think he knows where he is in these agreements with foreign countries, but he doesn't understand the bigger picture. He might be hopeful that certain things are going to work out a certain way for him, but it is more likely they won’t. In this 60 Minutes interview, Leslie Stahl asks questions, and as you hear Donald Trump talking, there's just something that sits strange. “Do you agree that Vladimir Putin is involved in assassinations. In poisonings?” Donald Trump responds, “Probably.” Leslie Stahl, “Probably?” Trump continues, “I mean probably, but I rely on them, it’s not in our culture.” Leslie Stahl continues, “ Why not? They shouldn't do it. This is a terrible thing. They shouldn’t do it. Do you believe that the Russians interfered in the 2016 campaign election?” Trump answers, “They meddled but I think China meddled, too.” Stahl reacts, “But why don't you tell me, the Russians mettled?” Trump again, “Because I think China mettled also.”   This is the way that Donald Trump is processing America. He seems confused or is just more aligned with what he believes to be true, even though the former speaker of the House Paul Ryan said this, “ Vladimir Putin does not share our interests. Vladimir Putin does not share our values. We just conducted a yearlong investigation into Russia's interference in our elections. They did interfere our elections. It's really clear there should be no doubt about that. “   Paul Ryan is part of the GOP so this isn't the Democrats going after Trump. Trump’s astrology chart impacts America’s chart in a few different ways.   Trump's Moon connects with the public's emotional identity. His bombastic and reactive way of expressing his feelings confuses our allies because his reactions are based on the energy he feels in the moment. His planets stir up a cloud of chaos in the part of America's chart that describes what we stand for as a country philosophically, and how we uphold the law is the ninth house. This part of America's chart, also has to do with America's search for the truth and foreign relationships.   Unfortunately with Trump's big personality and his connection to the 9th house (which also connects to publicity), it opens the door for him to go on an American rebranding campaign. This is particularly mystifying to our allies, and possibly even connects to our enemies.   Our intelligence agencies have been sounding all the alarms, on more than election interference. Former CIA Senior Intelligence Officer, Steve Hall expressed his concerns on CNN to Anderson Cooper. “You know before the Helsinki summit, I was not prepared to go to the darkest corner in the room, and say there is compromising information on Donald Trump. But then after I saw him together with Vladimir Putin and I saw Donald Trump treat him in a fashion that is just inexplicable. It made no sense. It's not as though Donald Trump has any problem being tough with people. The question is why. Why not be tough with a guy like Vladimir Putin. The only explanation that I can have is, is that he is concerned that the compromising information that that Putin has on him will get out.”   The last thing that I want to talk about as it relates to Trump's chart and America, is that where he's most sensitive, he's actually in the public eye. He's not really in control of how everybody sees him and that's where he feels most vulnerable. This might be why he’s susceptible to flattery from people that are not our allies. If they speak to this wound that he has, that is very dangerous.   If he feels threatened, his rebel rouser personality shows up and in America's chart. That part of him starts fights with our allies and it agitates our enemies. He deals with his own pain and insecurity, by stirring up and activating conflicts and other people   If people don't know how he's going to respond or what he's going to say or how he's going to react they aren't sure how to make a strategy to interact with him, and that's how he wants it.   In a weird way Donald Trump's combative style is his gift to all of us. His whole n “America First” campaign doesn't exactly incite harmony around the world.   In fact, Trump's aggressive style in problem solving is the antithesis of innovation. In our world of complex problems, we need people to think about things creatively, and self interest is the opposite.     As things are very stirred up in our country, our states, our communities and sometimes even at our dinner tables at home, it really helps to try to focus in on what is the problem. Then be open to hearing solutions from different perspectives. This is how we begin to work together.   When people are emotionally charged, they can’t listen.The conversations become fights and usually they are not about the same specific problem.   If the gift of our times right now, with President Trump and America's cycles, is to have all of these different feelings and challenges brought to the surface so that we can understand them clearly, then our best hope is to listen and work to understand each other.   Please subscribe to Histrology so you don’t miss an episode.

Ours is a distressed planet it appears we can no longer manage or lead. Our traditional alliances are in tatters. Our relationship with China has worsened. The summit with North Korea has failed. We have withdrawn from agreements made by previous administrations. Russia has advanced its game plan. Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass tells Jim he sees little hope in reversing a downward spiral.

Joining Audrey for this week's REELTalk - What is supposed to be the most August body in Congress was turned into a side show under the big tent recently, by the extremist Democrat party.

Self Directed Investor Talk:  Alternative Asset Investing through Self-Directed IRA's & Solo 401k's

What is the HOTTEST REAL ESTATE MARKET in America?  A “top 20 hottest markets in America” list was just released by a big real estate organization… but I’ll tell you why their #1 market isn’t even close… and what part of the country absolutely is LIGHTING IT UP where real estate appreciation is concerned… and how YOU can profit from it, no matter where you live!  I’m Bryan Ellis.  This is episode 156.-----Hello SDI Nation!  Welcome to the podcast of record for savvy, self-directed investors like you!Ok, people, I get it!  You missed me!  Hehehehe.  Thank you for all of the nice emails so many of you have sent me in the last few days as I had to step back and focus on our real estate business a bit.  There are some crazy exciting things happening and it’s been so much fun to watch.  Carole and I have about 13 real estate transactions in progress right now and 3 of them are closing in the coming week alone.  So things are just crazy right now… crazy wonderful!So… you want to know about the hottest market in America?Well, the infamous National Association of Realtors – the organization famous for saying “it’s a great time to buy” no matter what’s going on the economy – releases a “hottest markets” list from time to time.And I’ll tell you… as a matter of trivia, it is pretty interesting.  If you’d like to get a copy of that HOT MARKETS list, I’ll be happy to send it to you… just text the word HOTLIST with no spaces to 33444 and I’ll send it to you.So here’s the thing:  The top HOT MARKET in America for October 2015 was, according to Realtor.com, Denver, Colorado.Denver, in case you’ve never visited, is a beautiful city.  Really nice place.  I can totally see why people would want to live there, and why it’s an in-demand market.  I’ve got nothing bad to say about that city at all.But there is something worth noting:Denver is #1 on the Realtor.com list, sure.  And well deserved, I’m sure.  But here’s the thing:Of the top 20 hottest markets in America, 12 of them – 60% - are in the state of California.Now that alone is pretty amazing.  But let’s face it:  California is bigger than most countries in the world, so it’s not statistically improbable that there’d be a high concentration of hot markets there.  But let’s take it one step further to see where the REAL hottest market in America is.As I said, 12 of the 20 hottest markets are in California.  But of those 12, 9 of them are concentrated in a small area of Northern California.  All 9 of those markets are within about 100 miles of each other.So what you have is 9 blazing hot markets supporting each other… natural spillover causing great market strength in the broader area.It’s all arguably a function of the astounding success of the tech sector and the venture capital business in and around Silicon Valley and San Francisco.  But that strength – ASTOUNDING strength, to be sure – is spreading the wealth in the markets of Northern California.One of those markets is Stockton, CA.  Yes, THAT Stockton… the one that’s famous for crime problems and also for having gone bankrupt back in 2013.  Stockton is absolutely ON FIRE… and the investors who are making bank there just don’t seem to care about those things.How hot is it? Well, just a couple of days ago, I got a market analysis report from Zillow about Stockton.  Bottom line?  Zillow has observed that Stockton has appreciated by 12% in the past year, and they’re predicting appreciation of 19% in the coming year.That, my friends, is CRAZY awesome.  Imagine what it would mean for your portfolio if all of your properties appreciated by 19% in the coming year?  You’d be doing a happy dance, for sure!I wanted to zero in on Stockton because it’s unique among many of the super hot markets in northern California. It’s unique because it’s large enough that there’s a lot of real estate activity – there are about 300,000 residents of that city – but small enough that there’s not much in the way of competition from BIG MONEY interests like hedge funds and other major capital sources.  And that means something really good for individual investors like me and you:  Serious opportunity.Now stick with me here, folks, because this serious opportunity exists for EVERYBODY… not just those of you who are physically close to Northern California.Let me give you an example of what my team in Stockton is doing RIGHT NOW.  As in… November 4… Wednesday of this week.My team picked up a property in Stockton on Fairway Glen street for $137,000.  We’ll put about $12 grand into fixing it… and in about 100 days – barely even three months – we’ll have resold it for at least $195,000.  We’re confidently predicting a net profit of about $33,000.Now this one isn’t one of our top 10 deals.  Not even close.  This one will likely yield about 22% cash-on-cash in 100 days.  Maybe more than that, because the fact is that the time between now and when we put the property back on the market is enough for property values to have been pushed even higher.And here’s what I want you to understand:  This deal is one we’re doing for a CLIENT.  A client who will never pick up a hammer.  A client who will never see the property.  A client who, for all practical purposes, has no connection to real estate investing whatsoever… other than that she sees the clear opportunity to do very, very well by taking advantage of the scorching hot market there in Stockton.And you know… you can’t really do this the same way in San Jose or San Francisco.  Yes, the markets are exploding there, too.  But the entry point for doing deals is SO MUCH HIGHER in those markets that it really precludes involvement from all but the most cash-rich among us.Well here’s why I’m telling you all this, my friends:  Just yesterday, I opened 7 spots for new clients in the SDI Passive Property Flipping program.  For these clients, my team will FIND the great deals in the Stockton market, we’ll FIX the property to great resale condition, and will FLIP it to the next buyer… FAST!  Here’s something that’s cool:  Fully 1/3 of our deals in Stockton take a grand total of 90 days or less!  Yep.  Full life cycle from purchase to reno to sale and close of escrow.  90 days.Now here’s the thing:  3 of those spots are already taken after less than one day of availability.  I suspect they’ll all be full within a week… maybe even within a day or two……and if you’d like to take advantage of the amazing opportunity to make VERY substantial gains in your portfolio from investing in a TRULY HISTORICALLY STRONG market… without getting your hands dirty at all, then here’s what you should do RIGHT NOW:Visit SDIRadio.com/stockton right now.  There you’ll find a webinar that I’ve created that will tell you all about this program.  You’ll see a whole lot of case studies… not including the one I just mentioned to you, because that one is literally under 48 hours old… but you’ll see a LOT of case studies… all from the latter part of this year, so they’re all fresh, real examples.You’ll see how the program works and learn whether you qualify for it.  But I respectfully recommend you go to check it out RIGHT NOW at SDIRadio.com/stockton.  We do have a “tour” event coming up in early December so that you can come out and meet the team if you’d like, but there’s a VERY VERY LIMITED capacity for that event.  So go right now to SDIRadio.com/stockton to learn more.My friends…Invest wisely today, and live well forever!

Hi all! Jon and I are still at it but you may have noticed that 1) there has been very little video game news and 2) there has been a LOT of real life news. So we've had little and less to record on. That said, this is an episode we recorded a week or two ago, and should still be relevant to today. News and views that aren't exactly relevant to the current situation in America? Well, can't say I'm not consistent.Production by Julian! Production by Julian!
