It was Clynch and Hardge holding the fort down while "Big MIke" and "Coach Mo" were swamped with business obligations.The former Texas Longhorn football running back great from Kirbyville, Texas was candid and open about this story in segment 1 with Clynch and Hardge.Special thanks to saxtoninsurance.com & Cosmic Coffee + Beer GardenHadnot delivered some entertaining stories about his upbringing in East Texas and the resurgent 1990 Texas football season called, the Shock the Nation Tour. A freshman season in which Hadnot rushed for 500+ yards and contributed to UT's 1st conference championship since 1983 that season. Only to experience an embarrassing frigid morning at the Cotton Bowl against "The U", the Miami Hurricanes.A game if Texas would've won, the Longhorns may have captured the national championship.Butch experienced some drama after his sophomore season. A misunderstanding about the reasons why he was on the Texas A&M campus, dropping off friends of his who played on the Aggie football team. It was portrayed as he was inquiring about transferring to Texas A&M.According to Hadnot, that was not the truth.Hadnot experienced some academic issues which is why he took summer classes in 1992 after John Mackovic was hired to succeed David McWilliams. Hadnot signed with the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts, then found out he was reinstated academically with UT. But, it was too late to continue playing college football due to signing to play professionally. Butch offered his take on the Name, Image, & likeness and how that would've benefitted himself and student-athletes during his era.Hadnot's story included becoming a mentor to youth and youth sports all while returning to finish his degree at UT.In segment 2, Clynch and Hardge discuss the NLI subject and how fellow co-host, Mike Murphy, the owner of Last Stand Hats, are educating prospective student-athletes how to partner with the right companies. The boys delivered some energy about Austin's 1st true high level pro sports team, Austin FC scoring the franchise's 1st goal(s) at their home Q2 Stadium last week vs Portland.Clynch and Hardge closed it out with the "Tell Me Something Good" segment.Be sure to follow us on on all of our social media platforms: Twitter & Instagram.

(The transcript of today's important program appears just below and you may want to check out next week's Part 2.) Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart takes lessons from the founder of the discipline of praxeology, as it's been called by Ludwig von Mises, the past leader of the Austrian School of Economics. Taking brilliant insights from von Mises, and working them within the context of a biblical Christian worldview, gives stunning insights into why, just now and unlike ever before, the world has shut down to fight a pandemic. Good for the mind. Great for the soul.   Today's Resource: God's Principles of Government. Join Bob Enyart as he explores God's Principles of Government. From Against Democracy where we look at the biblical principles related to the idea of majority rule, to a Representative Republic and its similarities with democracy, to a real Alternative to Democracy, to what a Bible-based Constitution actually looks like, after this series, the Scriptures' principles of governance will permeate your thinking like never before! Or your money back. (Really.) * Transcript of Today's Program:  As a public service for the COVID-19 pandemic and brought to you by the Crawford family of radio stations, welcoming new RSR listeners in Portland and San Francisco, today we'll present an overview of the coronavirus pandemic. How we got here, where we are at, and what this global experience portends for the future. And we'll rebut a few conspiracy theories and hopefully mitigate some misplaced anger. Real Science Radio has long run as a weekly Bible-based science program out of Denver and during the pandemic its been made available to various Crawford Broadcasting stations. Today, we include the soft science of praxeology, as Ludwig von Mises called it. Von Mises was the recognized leader of what is called the Austrian School, or the more conservative school, of Economics. For RSR to understand what a virus is and how it spreads requires interviewing scientists, like we've done in this series. Audience favorite molecular biologist Kevin Anderson, and world renowned scientists like biochemist Michael Behe and synthetic chemist James Tour and his nanoprobe device, remember that from last week, like a guided missile, seeks out pathogens, attaches and drills into them at three million RPMs, three million revolutions per minute, to destroy them! Yes, many brilliant scientists including those among the most successful in the world, like Dr. James Tour, reject secular origins and trust in Jesus Christ as savior and in the Scriptures as God's Word. But if you want to understand how the world, including our own government, got to this point of near-global extended quarantine, vast economic shut down, and millions of jobs lost, and likely, tens of thousands of failed businesses with employers who will no longer and never again provide jobs for others, these questions fall into the domain, not only of economics, but into the larger realm, of what Von Mises called praxeology, for the study of Human Action. Hence, Mises' masterpiece, which I highly recommend though it was quite a slog to get through it, at a thousand pages, his magnum opus, titled, Human Action. The mass shut down as an early response to a growing worldwide outbreak was bound to happen, eventually. Like a Calvinist who gets a broken leg and, by his theology, believed that this was decreed from eternity past, breaks his leg and says, "Boy, I'm glad that's over with", right, believing that it was unavoidable. Well, about this COVID pandemic, I'm not making any kind of theological argument; not at all. I'm making a praxeological argument, that eventually in human history, a shutdown like this was unavoidably coming, and now that it's here, we can say, once we emerge from it: Glad that's over with. I'll explain why such a shut down was inevitable; and for whatever reasons this started, as we've said on air for, what, two months now, the cure may be worse than the disease. Because, even with the relatively high death toll, we'll lose what, about the same number of people we lost in the Vietnam War, albeit mostly the elderly and those also dying from underlying conditions. Regardless though, and with the world losing a quarter of a million people, eventually, or more, during this, what could be possibly just the first wave of SARS-CoV-2, this coronavirus, the number of people who die from the economic shutdown could potentially dwarf the number of people killed by the disease. Now if that happens, of course that is devastating, but like we'll discuss, a global pandemic-based shutdown has been coming at us for a while and the larger questions, even than whether the cure kills more people than the disease, is What are the principles of morality, justice, and authority, by which governments should make decisions and take actions. Also, from some of the crisis within the crisis, we'll see that we can blame ABC's Shark Tank, including Mark Cuban, Kevin O'Leary Mr. Wonderful, and Daymond John, and the rest, for their vastly overstated claim that an entrepreneur is a fool if, regardless of his reasons, if he does not outsource his production jobs, and move manufacturing overseas. So there's a lot on our plate. As far as economics being a subdiscipline within praxeology, or the study of all human action, which overlaps of course with the field of psychology, we've all heard the observation that movement in the stock market follows greed and fear, and of course, therefore, understanding the financial pages often puts you smack-dab in the middle of psychology. Buy low and sell high. As Warren Buffet said decades ago if you want to make money off the Dow, you need to be fearful when everyone else is greedy and greedy when everyone else is fearful. Back on March 16th, a month ago, the title of our broadcast was, Buy. Buy. Buy. If You Can Buy Stock, Buy! Our live show broadcasts on the most powerful Christian radio station in America, Crawford's AM 670 KLTT out of Denver, and it happens to air at Easter Time, 5 p.m. By then the market is closed, and we always consider those listening via streaming around the country regarding our live program. So that day and over the next five trading days, the market was at its lowest point since the coronavirus hit; the Dow Jones Industrial Average of 30 large U.S. businesses, had been hovering for two months mostly over 29,000 and flirting with 30,000, and then it dropped precipitously to, what, around 20,000, and even below, so almost a 30% pandemic-related drop. We just heard from one of our listeners in Alaska. He said that in listening to the program for decades, he had never heard us give a buy or sell recommendation; we don't do that. And up there in Fairbanks, he had been out of the market. So he transferred a lot of money in, and by the time he bought, within a few days of that program, he couldn't have timed it better and he's ecstatic. So, as praxeologists, the study of human behavior, we Bible-based Christians should be the best around, because you understand an automobile better when you understand how it was made. And you understand people better when you understand how we were made, and if you notice who is following the manufacturers recommended maintenance plan, and who is ignoring it. After all, this very program is brought to you by God, maker of heaven and earth and other fine products! So, I said that this government-imposed shutdown has been coming at us for sometime. Why is that? As we discuss in our Principles of Governance seminars and broadcasts, which are indexed in our archives, when you are trying to understand government behavior, and even, the principles by which governments should operate, use the analogy of a family. Afterall, the dispensation of human government, as many theologians call it, began when God instituted the death penalty, in contrast to what He did before the flood, the global flood, when He prohibited the death penalty. And yet, just as He changed the rules about eating animals, for likewise very deliberate and important reasons, He changed, 180 degrees reversal, His prohibition against execution to mandating it, in Genesis 9, for every convicted murderer. Now this command was given to Noah, as the head of his household, and that established the authority for human government, first through patriarchies, then tribes, then villages, to city states, and their daughter villages, their suburbs, to nations, and finally, even to empires. To simplify the rules of governance, including foreign policy, you can do what Von Mises so often recommended, and use a thought experiment. Consider a group of families that suddenly find themselves living in a frontier where there is no established governmental authority. You can confidently figure out, especially if you have a reasonable biblical understanding, both the way families should behave in such a circumstance, within their own homes, and toward one another, and you can figure out how they are likely to behave, within their own homes, and as they interact with one another. And this will give you tremendous insight into how governments should function, and how they are likely to function. So, the proper extent and the just functions of government authority; how nations should interact with one another and how they will likely interact. So this shutdown approach to a flu-like pandemic has never happened before [that is, the extent of the shutdown, throughout most of the economy, and the nation, and much of the world]. But its been a longtime coming because of the world's growing prosperity. Wealthy nations do things, and face problems, the scope of which mankind has never faced before. Here's a minor example. Wealthy nations are fat nations. Obesity was mostly an American problem at first, at a global level. Not because we were less disciplined, but because tens of millions of us could afford, including many who didn't even have a job, we bought all the junk food, ice cream, and candy we could shove in our face. Then as the rest of the world caught up, guess what happened? They got fat too. Turns out the media was wrong. It wasn't because Americans cared less about our health. It wasn't that Europeans were more health conscious; they're just far less wealthy than we are. The same problem with male delayed adolescence with millions of young men spending a decade or more caring mostly about playing video games, and watching pornography in their parents' basement, and not getting married until their 30s. Prosperity, obsessively violent adrenaline-pumping games, decriminalized sexual entertainment, and now add to all that increasingly decriminalized marijuana, and it's all-but destroying a generation. And many of these problems, including the wondrous yet pernicious problem of widespread wealth, has never before been dealt with on such a vast demographic scale. With a lousy job you can make more than enough money to watch porn, play video games, get high, and eat junk food, until you're 28 years old, and beyond. Bty the way, today is April 20th, that's 4/20, when a few million potheads go out of their way to make sure that they're high today. So please, urge those you know to not smoke pot, and Google: Negative effects of marijuana, or just go to our website, rsr.org/pot where we've worked with some of the world's leading experts on the terrible mental health, physical and moral health problems associated with cannabis. But back to the wealth crisis, and this is all to understand why, and why now, governments have shut down our economies to fight the coronavirus. Vast national wealth also brings with it predictable challenges. Those who say that the masses are not wealthy, relatively speaking, don't remember the past. What would a well-off family do if they thought that a growing epidemic had a good chance of killing one of their kids? I've asked that exact question to a dozen successful parents over the last two months. They've told me what we all know they would say. That they would go to any length they could, if they really thought that there was a good chance that one of their kids might pick up an infection that had a likely chance of killing them. For example, some folks said things like, we'd move to Tonga, you know in the South Pacific, for the duration of the pestilence. We'd hunker down and not leave the house until the plague had passed. We'd send our kids to live with their grandparents in Siberia. Literally. In other words, if you can afford it, you would go to extraordinary lengths, even if you couldn't really afford it, and it might bankrupt you, you would do above and beyond anything you had previously imagined, if you thought one of your kids might die, and you had some chance of saving them. Poorer families, on the other hand, can't even think in such terms. Compare what Bill Gates would do to protect his family, wife Melinda, and his kids, his son Rory, and daughters Jennifer and Phoebe? Yes, he's a pro-abortion, moral monster. He did help much of the world out of poverty, and for that, he deserves his wealth, however he's an all-but-declared enemy of biblical morality. In the 1980s I worked for him in Redmond Washington. He once flamed me, as we'd say back then, with an angry email of two screens worth of text, from Bill Gates; I didn't even read the whole thing. I was busy. And as I've too often mentioned, I had dinner at his home back when he was still a bachelor, before he had even bought much furniture. There wasn't even a table and chairs for us to eat at. It was funny. Anyway, if he had to, he'd buy the whole Hawaiian island of Lanai, which in fact he [temporarily shut down] about a decade after I worked for him, for his wedding. He'd spend billions to buy an entire island if he though it would protect his kids. What would a typical family, say, in Kenya do? If there's a plague coming across Africa and it's headed right for their family. What would a typical family in Kenya do? The answer is, they'd wait for it. There's virtually nothing that they could do. Or that they would think they could do. Epidemiologists for decades have been telling governments and the public how to slow down or even stop the spread of an infectious disease. Until now though, nations didn't have the wealth, or at least, they didn't think they had the wealth, to follow their advice. Go back a century to the Spanish flu, 1918, a quarter of the world's population was infected, about 500 million people, and estimates vary of the death toll, but all recognize it as one of the deadliest events pandemics in history. So let's take the smallest estimate, of about one percent of the world population, so that if you were alive then, if you personally knew 200 people, two of them would be killed by the plague. Careful estimates range up to 5% of the world's population, or one out of every 20 people, dying. So go back a hundred years, go back, to let's say, London, in 1850. What if they had a plague like that. When ]you think of their current deaths in the United Kingdom, they're approaching what, 17,000 deaths. Well London back, 150 years ago, they had a population of what, two and a half million people. If they tried to quarantine, lock down the city, let alone the whole country, for six weeks, two months, three months. Within the first six weeks, half the population of London would be dead. You'd have a million people starve to death. If it were in winter they'd freeze to death. So it is prosperity that has enabled governments to think, at some point, it's been coming for a long time at some point, that they could implement what epidemiologists were telling them for decades now, that they could do to stop people from dying. Now these scientists, they are important and they have valid insights, but they're not inerrant, and they're not praxeologists, right, they're not economists, and so they're not good at estimating how many people will be killed by their cure, for the opposite of an increased standard living, what we call economic decline, that kills people. Instead of living, and living better, they live worse, and they die. And that happens both when wealth increases, especially rapidly, and when, including rapidly, it decreases. Remember that China's scientists, twice, earlier this century, unintentionally allowed the SARS virus to escape from the Chinese Institute of Virology. Now that's not in Wuhan, but in Beijing. But they did a pretty good job, compared to what they did with this coronavirus, of slowing and stopping the spread. It's like the sailor who gets a commendation for securing a loose canon, and then has to walk the plank, because he's the one who let it get loose in the first place. About 800 people did end up dying, but China began by quarantining all 200 staffers from the lab, for weeks in a nearby hotel which they locked down; and they took other measures. Most of the dead were in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and a few dozen in Singapore and even Canada. So, epidemiologists, some of whom are both helpful, and guilty, do have some valid ideas of how to slow down, or possibly even stop, the spread of a disease. You can expect a wealthy nation to behave like a wealthy family, including in a crisis. Add to that, our governing leaders who have virtually no knowledge, or concern, for what God says about the just function of government. And you can be sure that leaders will not know where the proper boundaries of their authority lie. And you can also be sure that those who are angry at their government, including some in this audience right now, whether they hate the government or are just angry at it, many of them will themselves, have very little knowledge of what God says about how governments should function, or know how to apply valid principles of governance during a pandemic. If we replaced any number of our leaders, with, say, the same number of our Christian leaders, do you think the final death toll would be lower than it will be under the current regime? Or, how about this. Do you think that fewer people would be angry at their decisions, than are currently angered? One rule we have here at Real Science Radio is, don't get angry at people for doing things that we ourselves couldn't do any better. Some governing leaders hate their own people. In addition to abortion, by which they have dismembered and otherwise killed millions of their own youngest boys and girls, in addition to that, some have slaughtered millions of their own, I could put it the way Antonin Scalia put it.  They have slaughtered millions of their own walking-around-people. Now he put it that thoughtlessly. A few years back I had the honor of giving a presentation, it's now on YouTube, against theistic evolution, on the beautiful campus in Malibu, of Pepperdine University. And there, former justice Antonin Scalia said, and Christians think that he was pro-life, he said that if Congress passed a law banning abortion, he would strike it down. Why? Because he'd rather people fight over killing the unborn at the local level. Now that's absurd. Anyway, not all leaders hate their own people, or at least, say, their walking-around people. Another Austrian conservative author, Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn wrote in his brilliant work, Leftism Revisited. that some leaders actually think of their citizens the same way that a father thinks of his children. By the way, his is another great book, and at a mere 500 pages, it's still quite the slog; boy, these Austrians really know how to write! If you want to watch your nation go broke faster, see what happens when millionaires end up in charge. The Clintons went from donating Bill's underwear, literally, it's on their old tax returns, and taking a deduction for each pair, they went from that, to controlling a two-billion dollar foundation. For like the Bible says about Judas, explicitly, the Bible says that Judas didn't actually care about the poor, but he said he did because he would take money designated for the poor, he'd take the money for himself. That's a perfect summary of socialist politicians. It's something, that very thing in fact, is in the headlines, describing Pope Francis in the Vatican, right now! Taking the money from all over the world, that Catholics put in their poor boxes. I was raised Catholic, I was an altar boy for a couple years. And in the back of every church in the vestibule there's a little box and it says, For the poor. Poor people put their money in it for other poor people. It turns out that the Pope has been spending that very money on his own budget. Wow. So wealthy politicians and those who become wealthy in office, they're especially inclined to have a socialist  mindset. Like right now, giving a thousand dollar check to everybody, to a hundred million of us, whether you need it or not. And "printing" money, put printing in quotes, printing trillions of dollars, so we can spread that around also, in a socialist hope of reducing the lethality of the quarantine cure. We don't need a conspiracy to figure out how this started. Mental illness is widespread, including among Christians, with paranoia, the susceptibility to conspiracy theory, being one of the easiest symptoms to diagnose your health issue. Now, regarding the crisis within the crisis, China produces much of our most vital pharmaceuticals, medicines, emergency medical supplies, and even much of the equipment, not to mention so much of everything else. And while I've always loved Shark Tank, I've also been critical of them for a couple reasons. One is that routinely they will skewer an entrepreneur who wants to manufacture in America. To them, a hundred times over, it mattered nothing that they could be weakening America, or taking away jobs that American business owners wanted to give to their neighbors. And so that mindset, profit is great; and greed will blind you to bigger issues, including matters of national security and economic health. Don't get me wrong. The cheaper provider, doing the same job, is almost always the wisest choice, except that, manufacturing your widget, often, is not the entire consideration, and they've always presented it as though it were. I've always openly and aggressively hated the Chinese communist government. Our church has even gone to protest their communist leader a decade ago when he came to Colorado Springs. And I've hated the idea that instead of always condemning them and pushing for the liberation of their 1.4 billion people that Donald Trump was always talking about getting a better "deal" from the Chinese, that is, from their slave labor. And I've always said the opposite whenever Trump would praise their president. So I don't think I'm inclined to err on their behalf. But they did not intentionally infect the world. They're nothing if not deliberate, long-term players. This was a combination of hubris and incompetence. Yes, they shut down Wuhan flights within China, in fact, they shut down the whole Hubei province from travel to the rest of the country. Let's dig in and add some accuracy to this story that's overlooked by the enraged right. And our goal is to think through the conspiracy theory now widely circulating especially among Christians, that China had some kind of plan to infect the world. So, when did they shut down Hubei, including Wuhan air travel within China? Let's see my notes here. That was January 23rd. Now the whole province has about half a dozen airports, and only one international, the Wuhan International Airport. So they were all closed to fights outside of Hubei province. And by the way, the Wuhan airport stayed closed for about ten weeks, until April 8th. So January 23rd till April 8th. In mid January, quite a bit was already going on, publicly, worldwide even, before they closed down those flights. On January 11th, China made their first nationwide announcement of the illness, which means of course that's when it became widely known about, around the world. Its state media reported the illness in Wuhan. Then, and this is easier to recall for Americans, ten days later, on January 21st, we had our first [publicly known] case here. It was, as you'll recall, in the state of Washington. The world was on the lookout for this virus. By then it had just shown up in Japan, South Korea and Thailand. Then two days later, on that January 23rd date, China closed off Wuhan by canceling planes and trains leaving the city. They suspended all public transportation in the city and apparently, throughout the province, buses, subways and even ferries were closed down. By this point, it was known publicly that at least 17 people had died and about 600 were infected, including then also in Taiwan. Then, and this is where the conspiracy theorists get energized, apparently, based on public reports we have of a February 4th announcement, China's Civil Aviation Administration ordered local airlines to keep operating international flights to countries that HAD NOT imposed restrictions on inbound travel to China. So that's been reported including by Reuters news agency, that's an extremely biased leftist source, but one that nonetheless, frequently does report the basic dates and facts correctly. People are angry, including people who have lost jobs, and businesses even, and see no way of financially recovering. They don't need us to pile on and give them a boogeymen to be enraged at. China has plenty of guilt for what we know that they've done to cover up the crisis, mistreat, and even disappear their own doctors, journalists, and experts. So why would China continue flights to the rest of the world, according to conspiracy theorists, and then according to a rational assessment. Well the conspiracy claims that they had an intentional plan to infect the world to give them an economic advantage. That seems absurd on its face. We'll talk about why. The claim continues like this. If the rest of the world is reeling from a pandemic, then China will have an economic advantage because they won't be reeling, except they were infected themselves, for starters, and they've lied about their numbers, which have apparently been much greater than they've publicized. On its face that theory seems absurd and will be believed by people who are inclined to paranoia and looking for an outlet for their fear and their anger, someone to blame, and especially because they think that this extreme accusation against China somehow helps their own favorite politician. Okay then, what's the rational assessment? First, it completely discounts the conspiracy claim, because China, again, is nothing if not a deliberate, long-term player. To gain some kind of supposed short-term economic advantage, they would be sacrificing decades of prosperity, when they've had a hundred million people just barely climbing out of poverty. They'd have to give all that up, and go backwards. For clearly, intentionally spreading a disease to the rest of the world is not something that could be hidden, especially after the Wuhan outbreak had become known worldwide. They would enrage more than a hundred countries, and infect and devastate even their allies, like Iran. They would become a global pariah, which they have become anyway, apart from the conspiracy theories. This was not a biological weapon engineered in a lab. The scientific evidence strongly refutes that claim. And this was not intentionally spread to the world, so they could take some kind of economic advantage. The world would be highly motivated to reduce, some countries cut off, all trade with China. And that trade is exactly what has been bringing them out of 70 years of communism-induced poverty. It is that trade that has built up their military. It is that trade that has enabled them to create the technology to control almost a billion and a half people. And they know that. Trade has been vital for their already struggling economy. For them to hatch this scheme would mean that they were willing to sacrifice decades of increasing prosperity, for, what? For nothing. Because their trade would collapse. Instead, it was what we see in tyrants generally. It was hubris, and incompetence. By the uncontrolled arrogance of the left, especially of communist tyrants, but even of the Nancy Pelosis and Hillary Clintons of the world. They put themselves up on pedestals, as though there were gods. And when you look at their policies, they do seem to think that they are gods, passing legislation that appear to, attempt to defy the very laws of nature itself, and certainly, that would defy human nature. So a communist leader thinks that what he says is law. And that even nature itself will obey him. So they lie about an outbreak as it inexorably explodes to where the whole world knows that they lied. And then in their incompetence and hubris, they hoard medical supplies for themselves violating even their own manufacturing commitments to the world. And they shut down travel within China. But again, in hubris, think, well if countries are still flying here, we're not going to shut down flights back to those countries. That's their decision. [Of course, based even just on the number of planes available in any fleet or nation, no airline or country, including China, could sustain continuing to send flights out of their country unless those same planes were first flying into their country. So the countries that planes were flying into, out of China, were the same countries that continued of their own volition, and with some recklessness, to fly planes into China.] Those countries, they know that there's an outbreak here, and if they're so stupid to fly here, then fine. Whatever business and help they bring along, on those flights, we could use it. And their problems, are their problems. So, we're out of time. We'll finish this on our next RSR COVID show. And until then, to forward this Crawford-sponsored public service program to a friend, just go online to rsr.org. That's r-s-r dot o-r-g. This is Bob Enyart for my co-host Fred Williams and Real Science Radio, may God bless you

This sways votes and sets us up for extreme chaos when the system comes unraveled.   Only those with a significant portion of their holdings in precious metals can hope to survive the imminent coming economic collapse.   Every Great Empire in history has converted to fiat currency and every great empire has fully bankrupted and lost world dominance because of it. The longest a full fiat currency system has lasted is 70 years ending after an “exponential money creation phase” which the US has just begun. America, and the globe, went to a full fiat currency system under the Bretton Woods Act of 1946, Coercing the world to accept the US Dollar as its “world reserve currency”. This is just the 66TH year since our currency became fully fiat. 2016 will be year 70. Will The USA beat the odds and be the only nation in history to pass the 70 year fiat currency barrier? Is that a risk you are willing to take? Should you or your loved ones be subjected to that kind of a risk of losing everything?   President Obama has passed 6 of the most destructively invasive Executive Orders in Americas history, essentially authorizing the executive branch “in the event of a national crisis or emergency” to commandeer complete control and possession of all property and assets of all public and private entities including energy, power, finances, transportation, airwaves, media outlets and so on. NDAA allows US government to indefinitely detain anyone at anytime at home or abroad “suspected” of having “anti-government sentiment or intentions or hostility towards the US Government”.   “We are fast approaching the stage of ultimate inversion: the stage where government is free to do as it pleases while the citizens may act only by permission”. Ayn Rand   When we inflation adjust the 1980 precious metals peak prices of $50 Silver and $750 Gold apply an inflation adjustment from the previous precious metals market peaks of 1980, today’s inflation adjusted precious metals prices only equal to $383 gold & $6.17 silver in spending power. By applying an inflation adjustment from 1980 to 2009 to the “quick spike” Gold & Silver price peaks of 1980, which hit momentary highs of $750 gold and nearly $50 silver, would put the precious metals prices at $2500 gold and $160 Silver just to return to these previous highs in terms of today’s U.S. Dollar.   1980 Spike was caused by a short term paper market frenzy and attempted market cornering by the Hunt brothers. The precious metals market growth that began in 2001 and has continued until now has been a steady rising, regularly contested bull market that has demonstrated the necessary peaks and valleys, floors & ceilings to exemplify the attributes of a legitimate and reasonable bull market run.   Growth since deregulation, 1971-2012-Gold $35 to $1800(4800%), Silver $.86-$35(4000 %+).   Established performance throughout ALL written history- Precious Metals (PM) have remained the pinnacle form of wealth and monetary exchange for every civilized nation & society-without exception and without fail. PM’s have endured every type of global economic, political and natural chaos or catastrophe throughout all written human history.   The U.S. Dollar has lost 99.5% of its spending power from 1913 to 2013. $100 in 1913 is now approaching $20,000 in 2009.   Definition of Inflation: An increase in the supply of money.   Inflation is war on the poor & middle class. It confiscates the wealth of those who live paycheck to paycheck diminishing their buying power and forcing eventual governmental dependence over time.   Monetary Inflation-Creation of money from nothing. Monetary inflation is institutionalized counterfeiting, which means it is a form of theft. Should be obvious that no economy could ever benefit from an increase in the amount of theft.   Monetary Inflation creates boom-bust cycles: Worse damage is not the reduction in purchasing power but the distortion in relative prices leading to mal-investing and the large scale destruction of wealth.   Dot-Com craze caused by runaway money creation and transfer of our debt addiction to the world. One time in history event just as the roaring 20’s were a onetime domestic phenomena driven by technology so was the dotcom craze a onetime phenomena driven by technology transferring our system worldwide   Negative real interest rates necessary-stagflation-Interest rates decrease as cost of goods increase-cost inflation-caused by monetary inflation.   Credit crunch-caused by every person, corporation & government entity being tapped out in debt, unable to carry any more payments and not experiencing business growth to service debt or cover interest accumulation.   Quote from John Maynard Keynes-Architect of Keynesian Economics- “The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they confiscate arbitrarily impoverishing many yet enriching some; thereby encouraging the demand for the edistribution of wealth.”   DJIA & S&P500 Index Brief Overview: Artificially manipulated markets with deceptive removal and replacement policies for failing stocks. Even despite these unethical accounting practices, these indexes have still been unable to show anything better than a zero gain in over a decade while monetary inflation (creating money from nothing) has increased over 200% from $5Trillion to over $16Trill.   Paper money fraud-Fed no longer reports full M3 creation. Many indications of far more money created than what has been reported-Look at publically admitted dollar amounts of Dept. of Defense & Fannie Freddie losses alone-These two together nearly $10Trill. And all M3 money worldwide is $16Trill? No dollar accountability. All handled by The Fed which is a private “for profit” corporation.   The U.S. Dollar is rapidly losing favor worldwide. The UN has promised a new “dollar free” one world currency.   China has accumulated the world’s largest reserves of crude oil & gold in non-COMEX deliverable form to back the move to host a new replacement world reserve currency in conjunction with Russia, Japan & numerous other countries. China’s introduction of a replacement “World Reserve Currency” will immediately collapse the dollar overnight and begin an immediate US Dollar implosion in value as never seen before.   CPI-Consumer Price Index used by our gov’t to calculate & report inflation figures is an exclusionary index which does not include food, transportation, real estate or energy costs. These excluded expenses are what the average American consumer spends 85% of their disposable income on. A simple calculation of inflation rates derived from these excluded items reveals that since 09/11/2001 inflation has grown at a rate between 10% & 12% which is 3-4 times what our government’s statistics are continuously claiming.   Gold has risen in value by nearly 5000% in the 40+ years since their deregulation in 1971. That’s well over 100%/year average.   The Precious Metals Bull Market is poised to run based on escalating turmoil and scarcity of metals themselves   Precious Metals have never lost their value or become “worthless”. They are ever stable.   Precious Metals have maintained their spending power for thousands of years.   Precious Metals are universally recognized and accepted, anytime or anywhere worldwide.   Precious Metals are private, anonymous, transportable & immediately liquid anywhere & at any time globally.   The current administration is working to increase U.S. M2 Dollar supply from $10Trill in 2008 to $20 Trill in 2009 and up to $40 Trill in 2010. Total U.S. Debt held by all entities exceeds $120Trill. & rapidly rising. The USA is Bankrupt.   Fiat Currency System-The Federal Reserve System is a fiat (false or replacement) currency system which creates money from thin air. Fiat money is not good money because it can be issued without limit and therefore cannot act as a stable store of value. A fiat monetary system gives complete discretion to those who run the printing press, allowing governments to spend money without having to suffer the political consequences of raising taxes. Fiat money benefits those who create it and receive it first, enriching government and its cronies. And the negative effects of fiat money are disguised so that people do not realize that money the Fed creates today is the reason for the busts, rising prices and unemployment, and diminished standard of living tomorrow.   FDIC is fully bankrupt and insolvent and has actually acquired over $2Billion in debt against no monetary assets.   Constitutional rights to privacy gone-Patriot Act-Wire taps, indefinite detainment of anyone/anywhere/anytime: Internet usage, Bluetooth & wireless devices, computers & laptops, laptop & phone cameras, cell phones, electronics with microphones, GPS & auto navigation systems; credit card, debit card & check usage, social media networking & facial recognition software, RFID & smart chips in everything, public & private camera coverage. ASK.com-ran by CIA,   Barrack Hussein Obama is destroying Our Economy on Purpose through the Cloward & Piven Strategy of imposing socialism on America. The plan calls for the destruction of capitalism in America by swelling the welfare rolls to the point of collapsing our economy and then implementing socialism by nationalizing many private institutions,” It explains & educates leaders on how to destroy jobs and productivity, create runaway deficit spending, fuel skyrocketing healthcare costs & expenses and then hang the entire system on the back of the U.S. government. This alone is designed to lead the entire world into full blown Marxist-socialism with nowhere left for a true democracy to birth or find refuge.   Saul Alinsky: A radical left wing Marxist who wrote “Rules For Rebels”, the strategy book used by Obama for the methodical destruction of the rule & reign of democracy as we know and the republic underpinnings of the US of A. In the opening sentences of this book, which is highly regarded by the left, which used to only apply to left wing extremists, says “The devil challenged authority and got his own kingdom, and that goes to the heart of what left is really about. That of course is to get power any way you can, including lying, cheating and stealing. The ultimate rule is that the ends justify the means.” This is one of the main playbooks of the left. Their guidance & inspiration comes from the noted and professed atheist and anti-morality proponents Cloward & Piven & Saul Alinsky. All three synonymously agree that America must be destroyed from within and reshaped into a militaristic, socialistic, communistic & fascist state.   Every corporate entity that has been run by our government has been a massive failure and an even worse waste of 100’s of billions of tax payer dollars. These entities become embezzlement vehicles for the corrupt elitist politicians to spread the wealth. This is why they want socialism. Socialism gives them complete and total control of all the money. Look at what the government politicians have done with Medicare & Medicaid, social security, The US Post Office, Amtrak, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, The entire exponential congressional budget deficit and on it goes. Now they want government run healthcare. Are we really that dumb? The real reason that they want to control everyone’s money without any account so they can steal $100’s of billions or even trillions of dollars among themselves while the insignificant masses starve to death in the insatiable pit of poverty.   On Sept.10TH, 2001, yes, the day before the 9/11 attacks, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, admitted that the U.S. Pentagon appropriations committee had lost $2.3Trillion which it could not account for. The records for this misappropriation were purportedly located in WTC Building #7 & the area of the pentagon which was destroyed on Sept. 11TH, 2001.   JP Morgan-Between September 1ST & 10TH of 2001, JP Morgan sold $2.2Trillion in additional US Treasury Bonds that HAD NOT been issued by the US Government. All records pertaining to these sales were conveniently destroyed or lost in the Sept. 11TH destruction of WTC Bldg’s 1, 2 & 7.   Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac were under investigation for $1.9Trill. in missing funds documented by the US Dept. of Housing & Urban Development between 1988 & 2000. Conveniently after an indictment was given in August, 2001, these documents were lost in the 9/11 destruction.   Another grand jury indictment was awarded against HUD & Fannie Freddie in Sept. 2008 for having 10 times the securities as mortgages to back them. Conveniently, the following week Hank Paulsen, Secretary of The Treasury announced a mortgage crisis which required all HUD documents to be transferred to the Treasury Dept. Once this was completed and out of the court’s jurisdiction, he and Ben Bernanke changed their mind about the crisis and said it was too late to correct the mortgage problem and began giving trillions in handouts to their Wall Street friends with no strings attached.   The global fiat currency system colludes with corrupt leaders of 3RD world countries by diverting tremendous amounts of currency in reward for participating in the globally corrupt scandal to confiscate the wealth of the masses and transfer that wealth to the Fed. In return, many corrupt 3RD world leaders & governments are protected, made wealthy & elevated in global authority & influence. Nations that will not participate or speak out against our currency are warned & destroyed. Libya, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, many middle-eastern nations for now.   America’s global superiority is diminished based on mutual participation in the corrupt & deceptive fiat currency system which perpetuates the Fed’s confiscation of citizen’s wealth globally by undermining, inflating & destroying all world currencies. This relationship elevates the authority & influence of many 3RD world and adversarial governments to have a say over the financial decisions and military actions of the US & Fed. This positions & empowers new world leaders to arise where otherwise, finances would be unavailable.   Fed Backed fiat currency allows continued warfare & military action in favor of all participatory leaders & governments perpetuating currency creation & warning defectors.   A fiat currency system is dependent upon debt, debt & more debt on every level. The largest burden is on the taxpayer.   This systematic destruction of nations by the financial monopoly leaders has occurred on countless occasions throughout world history starting as far back as The Roman Empire nearly 1900 years ago which experienced complete and total financial & economic collapse at the same time it was being conquered and burned by invading countries. The financial, moral & governmental breakdown from the inside out weakened & confused Rome to a point that it no longer had the strength, resolve or wisdom to know how or why to defend itself. There was mayhem in the streets. Historians tell us that the Roman military had disband and walked away saying that there was no longer anything to fight for as the republic had been systematically destroyed from within by corruption & greed.   Since its inception in 1913, the Federal Reserve Bank has requested & received, from congress via the taxpayer, over 15 corporate and 10 Third world country bailouts totaling multiple $Trillions $of $Dollars. Debt, Debt & More Debt.   Impending Hyper inflation is the inevitable & undeniable end result of all fiat currency systems. None have survived.   The U.S. Government & Federal Reserve Banks Create, Demand & Require Inflation as a hidden tax.   The U.S. Government & Federal Reserve Banks confiscate the citizen’s wealth through a series of inflationary (expansion) and deflationary (contraction) economic policies. They push debt then confiscate assets and wealth.   Precious Metals respond positively to both Inflationary & Deflationary Economic times.   Precious Metals grow at or beyond the inflation rate of the currency of measurement.   The U.S. Stock Market is inundated with and dependent upon fraud & corruption to succeed. A Ponzi scheme.   Precious Metals do not require the promise or endorsement of any man or entity. They speak for themselves.   The 30 DOW Jones Index stocks are removed & replaced yearly to create false performance records.   From Sept. 2001 to Nov. 2009, The DOW Jones Index has LOST 20% of its value despite intentional substitution & manipulation of the stocks the index is comprised of.   From Sept. 2001 to Nov. 2009, Gold, Silver, Platinum & Rare Coins have all grown by over 300% in value despite ongoing media blackouts as well as harsh bank and stock broker opposition from the fear of loss of control.   $1000 invested in the DOW Jones in 1969(40 years ago) would currently be worth just over $6000.   $1000 invested In Gold in 1969(40 years ago) would currently be worth over $31,000 today.   The explosive casino market of the “dot com craze” of the 1990’s was a debt driven anomaly which is over & done, once & for all, never to return again. DON’T BE FOOLED if your stock broker keeps telling you to hurry up and wait for it to eventually come back. Ask him where his great advice was before your 401K became your 201K or even a 101K?   Hundreds of respected experts and analysts agree that further economic failure is assured before recovery will begin.   Stock Market Will Crash UP!!! Inflation will be used to deceive the average investor. As hyper inflation rates of 50%-100% or more erode the U.S. Dollar, the stock market will grow by 10, 20 or even 30% lulling the trusting and ignorant citizens to sleep while the Inflation Tax quietly confiscates and transfers the remainder of their wealth to the Federal Reserve Banking Cartel.   Throughout U.S. History, U.S. bankers have used crash after crash to appropriate bail-out after bail-out. The lack of U.S. wealth creation assures an impending depletion of U.S. paper backed wealth. The only ones who will survive will be those holding tangible resources and imperishable commodities.

Libya, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, many middle-eastern nations for now.   America’s global superiority is diminished based on mutual participation in the corrupt & deceptive fiat currency system which perpetuates the Fed’s confiscation of citizen’s wealth globally by undermining, inflating & destroying all world currencies. This relationship elevates the authority & influence of many 3RD world and adversarial governments to have a say over the financial decisions and military actions of the US & Fed. This positions & empowers new world leaders to arise where otherwise, finances would be unavailable.   Fed Backed fiat currency allows continued warfare & military action in favor of all participatory leaders & governments perpetuating currency creation & warning defectors.   A fiat currency system is dependent upon debt, debt & more debt on every level. The largest burden is on the taxpayer.   This systematic destruction of nations by the financial monopoly leaders has occurred on countless occasions throughout world history starting as far back as The Roman Empire nearly 1900 years ago which experienced complete and total financial & economic collapse at the same time it was being conquered and burned by invading countries. The financial, moral & governmental breakdown from the inside out weakened & confused Rome to a point that it no longer had the strength, resolve or wisdom to know how or why to defend itself. There was mayhem in the streets. Historians tell us that the Roman military had disband and walked away saying that there was no longer anything to fight for as the republic had been systematically destroyed from within by corruption & greed.   Since its inception in 1913, the Federal Reserve Bank has requested & received, from congress via the taxpayer, over 15 corporate and 10 Third world country bailouts totaling multiple $Trillions $of $Dollars. Debt, Debt & More Debt.   Impending Hyper inflation is the inevitable & undeniable end result of all fiat currency systems. None have survived.   The U.S. Government & Federal Reserve Banks Create, Demand & Require Inflation as a hidden tax.   The U.S. Government & Federal Reserve Banks confiscate the citizen’s wealth through a series of inflationary (expansion) and deflationary (contraction) economic policies. They push debt then confiscate assets and wealth.   Precious Metals respond positively to both Inflationary & Deflationary Economic times.   Precious Metals grow at or beyond the inflation rate of the currency of measurement.   The U.S. Stock Market is inundated with and dependent upon fraud & corruption to succeed. A Ponzi scheme.   Precious Metals do not require the promise or endorsement of any man or entity. They speak for themselves.   The 30 DOW Jones Index stocks are removed & replaced yearly to create false performance records.   From Sept. 2001 to Nov. 2009, The DOW Jones Index has LOST 20% of its value despite intentional substitution & manipulation of the stocks the index is comprised of.   From Sept. 2001 to Nov. 2009, Gold, Silver, Platinum & Rare Coins have all grown by over 300% in value despite ongoing media blackouts as well as harsh bank and stock broker opposition from the fear of loss of control.   $1000 invested in the DOW Jones in 1969(40 years ago) would currently be worth just over $6000.   $1000 invested In Gold in 1969(40 years ago) would currently be worth over $31,000 today.   The explosive casino market of the “dot com craze” of the 1990’s was a debt driven anomaly which is over & done, once & for all, never to return again. DON’T BE FOOLED if your stock broker keeps telling you to hurry up and wait for it to eventually come back. Ask him where his great advice was before your 401K became your 201K or even a 101K?   Hundreds of respected experts and analysts agree that further economic failure is assured before recovery will begin.   Stock Market Will Crash UP!!! Inflation will be used to deceive the average investor. As hyper inflation rates of 50%-100% or more erode the U.S. Dollar, the stock market will grow by 10, 20 or even 30% lulling the trusting and ignorant citizens to sleep while the Inflation Tax quietly confiscates and transfers the remainder of their wealth to the Federal Reserve Banking Cartel.   Throughout U.S. History, U.S. bankers have used crash after crash to appropriate bail-out after bail-out. The lack of U.S. wealth creation assures an impending depletion of U.S. paper backed wealth. The only ones who will survive will be those holding tangible resources and imperishable commodities. BUY PRECIOUS METALS NOW!!! Time is running out!!!   FDIC has only $10Billion remaining, less than the total deposits of each of America’s 100 largest banks.

Division St., Spokane, WA 99207 CONTACT COINSPlus to Protect Your Assets with Precious Metals Now!!!   The World’s economic & political condition underwent a permanent change of course on Sept. 11TH, 2001.   The problem is escalating towards an imminent economic & financial collapse at an exponentially increasing pace.   Successful financial experts are rapidly abandoning the paper investments of yesteryear for the immediate assurance of wealth and capital preservation provided by the timeless security & performance of Precious Metals.   Precious Metals have always been the pinnacle form of real money or true wealth in every civilized society.   Precious Metals are not an “investment”; investments involve real risk of loss.   Is your wealth secured and preserved for an imminent collapse that lies ahead?   PM’s are divisible, portable, recognizable & scarce − making them a stable store of value. It is all things the market needs good money to be and has been recognized as such throughout history.   ***PM’s offer True Financial freedom & liberty, Security & Peace of Mind, tight private, personal control, universal recognition & desirability, continuously insatiable demand, compact storage unit of value-gold 200% as compact as $100 bills, easily recognizable & identifiable, easily countable & weighable, fungible-same everywhere in every condition, incredibly environmentally resistant, non-perishable   Wisdom-balanced & diversified-We are taught that young people can afford risk. How has that proven out? FOOLISHNESS. Young people have time to be safe.   Precious Metals (PM) provide timeless & true Wealth & Capital preservation.   PM’s offer a physical tangible asset in an age of all intangibles. S&P 500 now-95% Intangible. S&P 500 20 years ago-95% tangible.   World view vs. Gods view. Banks encourage accumulation of paper assets for net worth growth which are completely speculative and at 100% risk at all times. God stipulates PM’s which are immune from the whims, deceptions & fundamental failings & errors of mankind. They speak for themselves. The independence & freedom-privacy, anonymity, liquidity & transportability offered by PM’s intimidate the “Establishment”.   PM’s will continue to rise as round after round of QE’s continue the deterioration of the US fiat Dollar   Despite continuous pressured opposition by the all world governments, The IRS, stock brokers, investment advisors, money-managers, CU’s & banks, PM’s have still gained nearly 5,000% over the last 40+ years and over 500-600% since 9/11.   America’s current “Welfare State” is what happens when you let a government of the people and for the people buy the people.   People argue that Social Security & Medicare make sense because people pay in over time or they argue they are good because people need a government safety net for “hard times”. All of this will become a moot point when the US Dollar becomes worthless & US Government defaults on all of its debts due to rapid imminent inflation.   Under Obama, there is now over 50% of the US population dependent upon the government. With Medicare, Social Security, Food Stamps & Welfare, and people directly employed by the government, there are now over 165 Million or 53% of the population financially dependent upon an inevitably defunct entity. This sways votes and sets us up for extreme chaos when the system comes unraveled.   Only those with a significant portion of their holdings in precious metals can hope to survive the imminent coming economic collapse.   Every Great Empire in history has converted to fiat currency and every great empire has fully bankrupted and lost world dominance because of it. The longest a full fiat currency system has lasted is 70 years ending after an “exponential money creation phase” which the US has just begun. America, and the globe, went to a full fiat currency system under the Bretton Woods Act of 1946, Coercing the world to accept the US Dollar as its “world reserve currency”. This is just the 66TH year since our currency became fully fiat. 2016 will be year 70. Will The USA beat the odds and be the only nation in history to pass the 70 year fiat currency barrier? Is that a risk you are willing to take? Should you or your loved ones be subjected to that kind of a risk of losing everything?   President Obama has passed 6 of the most destructively invasive Executive Orders in Americas history, essentially authorizing the executive branch “in the event of a national crisis or emergency” to commandeer complete control and possession of all property and assets of all public and private entities including energy, power, finances, transportation, airwaves, media outlets and so on. NDAA allows US government to indefinitely detain anyone at anytime at home or abroad “suspected” of having “anti-government sentiment or intentions or hostility towards the US Government”.   “We are fast approaching the stage of ultimate inversion: the stage where government is free to do as it pleases while the citizens may act only by permission”. Ayn Rand   When we inflation adjust the 1980 precious metals peak prices of $50 Silver and $750 Gold apply an inflation adjustment from the previous precious metals market peaks of 1980, today’s inflation adjusted precious metals prices only equal to $383 gold & $6.17 silver in spending power. By applying an inflation adjustment from 1980 to 2009 to the “quick spike” Gold & Silver price peaks of 1980, which hit momentary highs of $750 gold and nearly $50 silver, would put the precious metals prices at $2500 gold and $160 Silver just to return to these previous highs in terms of today’s U.S. Dollar.   1980 Spike was caused by a short term paper market frenzy and attempted market cornering by the Hunt brothers. The precious metals market growth that began in 2001 and has continued until now has been a steady rising, regularly contested bull market that has demonstrated the necessary peaks and valleys, floors & ceilings to exemplify the attributes of a legitimate and reasonable bull market run.   Growth since deregulation, 1971-2012-Gold $35 to $1800(4800%), Silver $.86-$35(4000 %+).   Established performance throughout ALL written history- Precious Metals (PM) have remained the pinnacle form of wealth and monetary exchange for every civilized nation & society-without exception and without fail. PM’s have endured every type of global economic, political and natural chaos or catastrophe throughout all written human history.   The U.S. Dollar has lost 99.5% of its spending power from 1913 to 2013. $100 in 1913 is now approaching $20,000 in 2009.   Definition of Inflation: An increase in the supply of money.   Inflation is war on the poor & middle class. It confiscates the wealth of those who live paycheck to paycheck diminishing their buying power and forcing eventual governmental dependence over time.   Monetary Inflation-Creation of money from nothing. Monetary inflation is institutionalized counterfeiting, which means it is a form of theft. Should be obvious that no economy could ever benefit from an increase in the amount of theft.   Monetary Inflation creates boom-bust cycles: Worse damage is not the reduction in purchasing power but the distortion in relative prices leading to mal-investing and the large scale destruction of wealth.   Dot-Com craze caused by runaway money creation and transfer of our debt addiction to the world. One time in history event just as the roaring 20’s were a onetime domestic phenomena driven by technology so was the dotcom craze a onetime phenomena driven by technology transferring our system worldwide   Negative real interest rates necessary-stagflation-Interest rates decrease as cost of goods increase-cost inflation-caused by monetary inflation.   Credit crunch-caused by every person, corporation & government entity being tapped out in debt, unable to carry any more payments and not experiencing business growth to service debt or cover interest accumulation.   Quote from John Maynard Keynes-Architect of Keynesian Economics- “The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they confiscate arbitrarily impoverishing many yet enriching some; thereby encouraging the demand for the edistribution of wealth.”   DJIA & S&P500 Index Brief Overview: Artificially manipulated markets with deceptive removal and replacement policies for failing stocks. Even despite these unethical accounting practices, these indexes have still been unable to show anything better than a zero gain in over a decade while monetary inflation (creating money from nothing) has increased over 200% from $5Trillion to over $16Trill.   Paper money fraud-Fed no longer reports full M3 creation. Many indications of far more money created than what has been reported-Look at publically admitted dollar amounts of Dept. of Defense & Fannie Freddie losses alone-These two together nearly $10Trill. And all M3 money worldwide is $16Trill? No dollar accountability. All handled by The Fed which is a private “for profit” corporation.   The U.S. Dollar is rapidly losing favor worldwide. The UN has promised a new “dollar free” one world currency.   China has accumulated the world’s largest reserves of crude oil & gold in non-COMEX deliverable form to back the move to host a new replacement world reserve currency in conjunction with Russia, Japan & numerous other countries. China’s introduction of a replacement “World Reserve Currency” will immediately collapse the dollar overnight and begin an immediate US Dollar implosion in value as never seen before.   CPI-Consumer Price Index used by our gov’t to calculate & report inflation figures is an exclusionary index which does not include food, transportation, real estate or energy costs. These excluded expenses are what the average American consumer spends 85% of their disposable income on. A simple calculation of inflation rates derived from these excluded items reveals that since 09/11/2001 inflation has grown at a rate between 10% & 12% which is 3-4 times what our government’s statistics are continuously claiming.   Gold has risen in value by nearly 5000% in the 40+ years since their deregulation in 1971. That’s well over 100%/year average.   The Precious Metals Bull Market is poised to run based on escalating turmoil and scarcity of metals themselves   Precious Metals have never lost their value or become “worthless”. They are ever stable.   Precious Metals have maintained their spending power for thousands of years.   Precious Metals are universally recognized and accepted, anytime or anywhere worldwide.   Precious Metals are private, anonymous, transportable & immediately liquid anywhere & at any time globally.   The current administration is working to increase U.S. M2 Dollar supply from $10Trill in 2008 to $20 Trill in 2009 and up to $40 Trill in 2010. Total U.S. Debt held by all entities exceeds $120Trill. & rapidly rising. The USA is Bankrupt.   Fiat Currency System-The Federal Reserve System is a fiat (false or replacement) currency system which creates money from thin air. Fiat money is not good money because it can be issued without limit and therefore cannot act as a stable store of value. A fiat monetary system gives complete discretion to those who run the printing press, allowing governments to spend money without having to suffer the political consequences of raising taxes. Fiat money benefits those who create it and receive it first, enriching government and its cronies. And the negative effects of fiat money are disguised so that people do not realize that money the Fed creates today is the reason for the busts, rising prices and unemployment, and diminished standard of living tomorrow.   FDIC is fully bankrupt and insolvent and has actually acquired over $2Billion in debt against no monetary assets.   Constitutional rights to privacy gone-Patriot Act-Wire taps, indefinite detainment of anyone/anywhere/anytime: Internet usage, Bluetooth & wireless devices, computers & laptops, laptop & phone cameras, cell phones, electronics with microphones, GPS & auto navigation systems; credit card, debit card & check usage, social media networking & facial recognition software, RFID & smart chips in everything, public & private camera coverage. ASK.com-ran by CIA,   Barrack Hussein Obama is destroying Our Economy on Purpose through the Cloward & Piven Strategy of imposing socialism on America. The plan calls for the destruction of capitalism in America by swelling the welfare rolls to the point of collapsing our economy and then implementing socialism by nationalizing many private institutions,” It explains & educates leaders on how to destroy jobs and productivity, create runaway deficit spending, fuel skyrocketing healthcare costs & expenses and then hang the entire system on the back of the U.S. government. This alone is designed to lead the entire world into full blown Marxist-socialism with nowhere left for a true democracy to birth or find refuge.   Saul Alinsky: A radical left wing Marxist who wrote “Rules For Rebels”, the strategy book used by Obama for the methodical destruction of the rule & reign of democracy as we know and the republic underpinnings of the US of A. In the opening sentences of this book, which is highly regarded by the left, which used to only apply to left wing extremists, says “The devil challenged authority and got his own kingdom, and that goes to the heart of what left is really about. That of course is to get power any way you can, including lying, cheating and stealing. The ultimate rule is that the ends justify the means.” This is one of the main playbooks of the left. Their guidance & inspiration comes from the noted and professed atheist and anti-morality proponents Cloward & Piven & Saul Alinsky. All three synonymously agree that America must be destroyed from within and reshaped into a militaristic, socialistic, communistic & fascist state.   Every corporate entity that has been run by our government has been a massive failure and an even worse waste of 100’s of billions of tax payer dollars. These entities become embezzlement vehicles for the corrupt elitist politicians to spread the wealth. This is why they want socialism. Socialism gives them complete and total control of all the money. Look at what the government politicians have done with Medicare & Medicaid, social security, The US Post Office, Amtrak, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, The entire exponential congressional budget deficit and on it goes. Now they want government run healthcare. Are we really that dumb? The real reason that they want to control everyone’s money without any account so they can steal $100’s of billions or even trillions of dollars among themselves while the insignificant masses starve to death in the insatiable pit of poverty.   On Sept.10TH, 2001, yes, the day before the 9/11 attacks, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, admitted that the U.S. Pentagon appropriations committee had lost $2.3Trillion which it could not account for. The records for this misappropriation were purportedly located in WTC Building #7 & the area of the pentagon which was destroyed on Sept. 11TH, 2001.   JP Morgan-Between September 1ST & 10TH of 2001, JP Morgan sold $2.2Trillion in additional US Treasury Bonds that HAD NOT been issued by the US Government. All records pertaining to these sales were conveniently destroyed or lost in the Sept. 11TH destruction of WTC Bldg’s 1, 2 & 7.   Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac were under investigation for $1.9Trill. in missing funds documented by the US Dept. of Housing & Urban Development between 1988 & 2000. Conveniently after an indictment was given in August, 2001, these documents were lost in the 9/11 destruction.   Another grand jury indictment was awarded against HUD & Fannie Freddie in Sept. 2008 for having 10 times the securities as mortgages to back them. Conveniently, the following week Hank Paulsen, Secretary of The Treasury announced a mortgage crisis which required all HUD documents to be transferred to the Treasury Dept. Once this was completed and out of the court’s jurisdiction, he and Ben Bernanke changed their mind about the crisis and said it was too late to correct the mortgage problem and began giving trillions in handouts to their Wall Street friends with no strings attached.   The global fiat currency system colludes with corrupt leaders of 3RD world countries by diverting tremendous amounts of currency in reward for participating in the globally corrupt scandal to confiscate the wealth of the masses and transfer that wealth to the Fed. In return, many corrupt 3RD world leaders & governments are protected, made wealthy & elevated in global authority & influence. Nations that will not participate or speak out against our currency are warned & destroyed. Libya, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, many middle-eastern nations for now.   America’s global superiority is diminished based on mutual participation in the corrupt & deceptive fiat currency system which perpetuates the Fed’s confiscation of citizen’s wealth globally by undermining, inflating & destroying all world currencies. This relationship elevates the authority & influence of many 3RD world and adversarial governments to have a say over the financial decisions and military actions of the US & Fed. This positions & empowers new world leaders to arise where otherwise, finances would be unavailable.   Fed Backed fiat currency allows continued warfare & military action in favor of all participatory leaders & governments perpetuating currency creation & warning defectors.   A fiat currency system is dependent upon debt, debt & more debt on every level.

Even despite these unethical accounting practices, these indexes have still been unable to show anything better than a zero gain in over a decade while monetary inflation (creating money from nothing) has increased over 200% from $5Trillion to over $16Trill.   Paper money fraud-Fed no longer reports full M3 creation. Many indications of far more money created than what has been reported-Look at publically admitted dollar amounts of Dept. of Defense & Fannie Freddie losses alone-These two together nearly $10Trill. And all M3 money worldwide is $16Trill? No dollar accountability. All handled by The Fed which is a private “for profit” corporation.   The U.S. Dollar is rapidly losing favor worldwide. The UN has promised a new “dollar free” one world currency.   China has accumulated the world’s largest reserves of crude oil & gold in non-COMEX deliverable form to back the move to host a new replacement world reserve currency in conjunction with Russia, Japan & numerous other countries. China’s introduction of a replacement “World Reserve Currency” will immediately collapse the dollar overnight and begin an immediate US Dollar implosion in value as never seen before.   CPI-Consumer Price Index used by our gov’t to calculate & report inflation figures is an exclusionary index which does not include food, transportation, real estate or energy costs. These excluded expenses are what the average American consumer spends 85% of their disposable income on. A simple calculation of inflation rates derived from these excluded items reveals that since 09/11/2001 inflation has grown at a rate between 10% & 12% which is 3-4 times what our government’s statistics are continuously claiming.   Gold has risen in value by nearly 5000% in the 40+ years since their deregulation in 1971. That’s well over 100%/year average.   The Precious Metals Bull Market is poised to run based on escalating turmoil and scarcity of metals themselves   Precious Metals have never lost their value or become “worthless”. They are ever stable.   Precious Metals have maintained their spending power for thousands of years.   Precious Metals are universally recognized and accepted, anytime or anywhere worldwide.   Precious Metals are private, anonymous, transportable & immediately liquid anywhere & at any time globally.   The current administration is working to increase U.S. M2 Dollar supply from $10Trill in 2008 to $20 Trill in 2009 and up to $40 Trill in 2010. Total U.S. Debt held by all entities exceeds $120Trill. & rapidly rising. The USA is Bankrupt.   Fiat Currency System-The Federal Reserve System is a fiat (false or replacement) currency system which creates money from thin air. Fiat money is not good money because it can be issued without limit and therefore cannot act as a stable store of value. A fiat monetary system gives complete discretion to those who run the printing press, allowing governments to spend money without having to suffer the political consequences of raising taxes. Fiat money benefits those who create it and receive it first, enriching government and its cronies. And the negative effects of fiat money are disguised so that people do not realize that money the Fed creates today is the reason for the busts, rising prices and unemployment, and diminished standard of living tomorrow.   FDIC is fully bankrupt and insolvent and has actually acquired over $2Billion in debt against no monetary assets.   Constitutional rights to privacy gone-Patriot Act-Wire taps, indefinite detainment of anyone/anywhere/anytime: Internet usage, Bluetooth & wireless devices, computers & laptops, laptop & phone cameras, cell phones, electronics with microphones, GPS & auto navigation systems; credit card, debit card & check usage, social media networking & facial recognition software, RFID & smart chips in everything, public & private camera coverage. ASK.com-ran by CIA,   Barrack Hussein Obama is destroying Our Economy on Purpose through the Cloward & Piven Strategy of imposing socialism on America. The plan calls for the destruction of capitalism in America by swelling the welfare rolls to the point of collapsing our economy and then implementing socialism by nationalizing many private institutions,” It explains & educates leaders on how to destroy jobs and productivity, create runaway deficit spending, fuel skyrocketing healthcare costs & expenses and then hang the entire system on the back of the U.S. government. This alone is designed to lead the entire world into full blown Marxist-socialism with nowhere left for a true democracy to birth or find refuge.   Saul Alinsky: A radical left wing Marxist who wrote “Rules For Rebels”, the strategy book used by Obama for the methodical destruction of the rule & reign of democracy as we know and the republic underpinnings of the US of A. In the opening sentences of this book, which is highly regarded by the left, which used to only apply to left wing extremists, says “The devil challenged authority and got his own kingdom, and that goes to the heart of what left is really about. That of course is to get power any way you can, including lying, cheating and stealing. The ultimate rule is that the ends justify the means.” This is one of the main playbooks of the left. Their guidance & inspiration comes from the noted and professed atheist and anti-morality proponents Cloward & Piven & Saul Alinsky. All three synonymously agree that America must be destroyed from within and reshaped into a militaristic, socialistic, communistic & fascist state.   Every corporate entity that has been run by our government has been a massive failure and an even worse waste of 100’s of billions of tax payer dollars. These entities become embezzlement vehicles for the corrupt elitist politicians to spread the wealth. This is why they want socialism. Socialism gives them complete and total control of all the money. Look at what the government politicians have done with Medicare & Medicaid, social security, The US Post Office, Amtrak, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, The entire exponential congressional budget deficit and on it goes. Now they want government run healthcare. Are we really that dumb? The real reason that they want to control everyone’s money without any account so they can steal $100’s of billions or even trillions of dollars among themselves while the insignificant masses starve to death in the insatiable pit of poverty.   On Sept.10TH, 2001, yes, the day before the 9/11 attacks, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, admitted that the U.S. Pentagon appropriations committee had lost $2.3Trillion which it could not account for. The records for this misappropriation were purportedly located in WTC Building #7 & the area of the pentagon which was destroyed on Sept. 11TH, 2001.   JP Morgan-Between September 1ST & 10TH of 2001, JP Morgan sold $2.2Trillion in additional US Treasury Bonds that HAD NOT been issued by the US Government. All records pertaining to these sales were conveniently destroyed or lost in the Sept. 11TH destruction of WTC Bldg’s 1, 2 & 7.   Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac were under investigation for $1.9Trill. in missing funds documented by the US Dept. of Housing & Urban Development between 1988 & 2000. Conveniently after an indictment was given in August, 2001, these documents were lost in the 9/11 destruction.   Another grand jury indictment was awarded against HUD & Fannie Freddie in Sept. 2008 for having 10 times the securities as mortgages to back them. Conveniently, the following week Hank Paulsen, Secretary of The Treasury announced a mortgage crisis which required all HUD documents to be transferred to the Treasury Dept. Once this was completed and out of the court’s jurisdiction, he and Ben Bernanke changed their mind about the crisis and said it was too late to correct the mortgage problem and began giving trillions in handouts to their Wall Street friends with no strings attached.   The global fiat currency system colludes with corrupt leaders of 3RD world countries by diverting tremendous amounts of currency in reward for participating in the globally corrupt scandal to confiscate the wealth of the masses and transfer that wealth to the Fed. In return, many corrupt 3RD world leaders & governments are protected, made wealthy & elevated in global authority & influence. Nations that will not participate or speak out against our currency are warned & destroyed. Libya, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, many middle-eastern nations for now.   America’s global superiority is diminished based on mutual participation in the corrupt & deceptive fiat currency system which perpetuates the Fed’s confiscation of citizen’s wealth globally by undermining, inflating & destroying all world currencies. This relationship elevates the authority & influence of many 3RD world and adversarial governments to have a say over the financial decisions and military actions of the US & Fed. This positions & empowers new world leaders to arise where otherwise, finances would be unavailable.   Fed Backed fiat currency allows continued warfare & military action in favor of all participatory leaders & governments perpetuating currency creation & warning defectors.   A fiat currency system is dependent upon debt, debt & more debt on every level. The largest burden is on the taxpayer.   This systematic destruction of nations by the financial monopoly leaders has occurred on countless occasions throughout world history starting as far back as The Roman Empire nearly 1900 years ago which experienced complete and total financial & economic collapse at the same time it was being conquered and burned by invading countries. The financial, moral & governmental breakdown from the inside out weakened & confused Rome to a point that it no longer had the strength, resolve or wisdom to know how or why to defend itself. There was mayhem in the streets. Historians tell us that the Roman military had disband and walked away saying that there was no longer anything to fight for as the republic had been systematically destroyed from within by corruption & greed.   Since its inception in 1913, the Federal Reserve Bank has requested & received, from congress via the taxpayer, over 15 corporate and 10 Third world country bailouts totaling multiple $Trillions $of $Dollars. Debt, Debt & More Debt.   Impending Hyper inflation is the inevitable & undeniable end result of all fiat currency systems. None have survived.   The U.S. Government & Federal Reserve Banks Create, Demand & Require Inflation as a hidden tax.   The U.S. Government & Federal Reserve Banks confiscate the citizen’s wealth through a series of inflationary (expansion) and deflationary (contraction) economic policies. They push debt then confiscate assets and wealth.   Precious Metals respond positively to both Inflationary & Deflationary Economic times.   Precious Metals grow at or beyond the inflation rate of the currency of measurement.   The U.S. Stock Market is inundated with and dependent upon fraud & corruption to succeed. A Ponzi scheme.   Precious Metals do not require the promise or endorsement of any man or entity. They speak for themselves.   The 30 DOW Jones Index stocks are removed & replaced yearly to create false performance records.   From Sept. 2001 to Nov. 2009, The DOW Jones Index has LOST 20% of its value despite intentional substitution & manipulation of the stocks the index is comprised of.   From Sept. 2001 to Nov. 2009, Gold, Silver, Platinum & Rare Coins have all grown by over 300% in value despite ongoing media blackouts as well as harsh bank and stock broker opposition from the fear of loss of control.   $1000 invested in the DOW Jones in 1969(40 years ago) would currently be worth just over $6000.   $1000 invested In Gold in 1969(40 years ago) would currently be worth over $31,000 today.   The explosive casino market of the “dot com craze” of the 1990’s was a debt driven anomaly which is over & done, once & for all, never to return again. DON’T BE FOOLED if your stock broker keeps telling you to hurry up and wait for it to eventually come back. Ask him where his great advice was before your 401K became your 201K or even a 101K?   Hundreds of respected experts and analysts agree that further economic failure is assured before recovery will begin.   Stock Market Will Crash UP!!! Inflation will be used to deceive the average investor. As hyper inflation rates of 50%-100% or more erode the U.S. Dollar, the stock market will grow by 10, 20 or even 30% lulling the trusting and ignorant citizens to sleep while the Inflation Tax quietly confiscates and transfers the remainder of their wealth to the Federal Reserve Banking Cartel.   Throughout U.S. History, U.S. bankers have used crash after crash to appropriate bail-out after bail-out. The lack of U.S. wealth creation assures an impending depletion of U.S. paper backed wealth. The only ones who will survive will be those holding tangible resources and imperishable commodities.

 Shenanigans is defined by Webster's dictionary as tricky or questionable practices or conduct; also, high-spirited or mischievous activity. It's a word I never used until I became an old fogy. Now it rolls off my tongue like a good set of dentures secured by a bad squeeze of Fixadent. I can't remember what we called shenanigans when I was growing up, but we sure knew when we were up to them. I can tell you that I've been up to my share and it doesn't seem that over my forty plus years I've learned lessons very well because I still tend to enjoy engaging in shenaniganly activities, as you'll see in two of these three stories. My name is Michael Blackston and you're about to step right into a big pile of my funny, messy life. _________________  My mama still shakes her head at stuff I say and do. There's usually at least a little smile behind the shame, but I imagine a voice inside her head asking, Where did I go wrong? It's okay, Mama. I turned out pretty relatively enough alright-ish in the end and we should probably thank God I didn't end up worse than that. After all ... I Was A Stupid Kid Who Did Stupidly Stupid Stuff  As my oldest approaches manhood and the age when I have to trust him outside of my supervision, I cringe to think of what must be going through that head of his. I remember being his age and while the details are effectively buried under an avalanche of adult stuff that happened starting twenty years ago, stuff that includes bad eating habits, lack of exercise, tons of debt, two decades of happy marriage, a foot or ten I stuck in my mouth, and a toe fungus that seemed like it would never go away, there’s still a vapor of youth stank seeping through to the surface. It could be whatever ungodly manifestation is under my son's bed creating that odor, I suppose. I'm afraid to look. But as deep as the tiny details may remain at the bottom of my own life's heap, I do have some solid nuggets to remind me that if I don’t keep a close eye on my child, I’m likely to be removing layers of his skin from concrete and/or roofing materials before too long.  The memories that evoke that sort of worry in my mind are tattooed there for eternity. We laugh about them now when we’re gathered around the dinner table and begin to reminisce about the Days of Good Ol’, but in truth, they still hurt a little, they still embarrass, or they still scare the crap out of me.  I was stupid. We did stupidly stupid things and I wasn’t alone.  I had my cousin by my side for much of it, but some things are mine and mine alone to take ownership of. So which were which and what did we or I do? Here are a few instances of stupid, all true stories, from my childhood. Collecting Money From Neighbors For "The Functionally Illiterate" To Actually Buy Cigarettes Stupid Rating: EVIL  My cousin and I liked to smoke when we were about my son’s age. We thought we were cool and back in the Days Of Good Ol’, you could purchase cigarettes “for your aunt” if you were three years old. Tell the clerk they were for an adult family member and it was all good. We had one particular old man who worked the counter of a local convenience store that never asked questions and so we patronized his store often. Most of the time, we could come up with a couple of dollars for a pack of menthols with no problem, but on this occasion we had lots of daylight left and there was nothing we could get our hands on, money wise. I don’t remember who’s idea it was, but together we decided to grab a small crystal candy dish from my cousin’s coffee table and work the neighborhood going door to door asking for money until we’d collected enough to buy a pack. Most of the neighbors gave us a few nickels and sent us on our way. It wasn’t until one of them cocked an eyebrow and started asking questions that I had to improvise and came up with a story that turned into what we thought was a gold mine. I think it's important to mention that my cousin hid in the bushes while I knocked on the doors. The neighbor asked what charity we were collecting for and I hesitated only for a second. I had recently heard someone on the radio talking about helping those who couldn’t read and I said, “The functionally illiterate.” She asked what that meant and after I told her accurately, she gave me something like a dollar in quarters. I thanked her and calmly walked to the bush where my cousin was crouching and laughing. After it was all said and done, I think we collected enough for several packs of cigarettes and by the end of the day, we probably smelled like the Marlboro man after a stressful night. I’ve always felt an awful sense of regret and shame for doing that and as a result, I tend to give a little more than I normally would to the Santa that rings the bell.  Yes, we laugh, but we also understand the depth of the“butt whoopin’” we should have taken after a stunt like that. And before you shout, “Where were your parents?!”, you have to realize that we went to great lengths to ensure they thought we were on our best behavior and right outside in the back yard. Swinging On A Rickety Cable Over A Rocky Creek Stupid Rating: DUMMY  Again, my cousin was there, but I can’t blame him for my injuries. In the woods close to his house, there was a large oak tree that overhung a ten-foot ravine with a small, very rocky creek at the bottom. From a thick branch was tied a metal cable and at the end of the cable, a stick was tied into a loop so you could hold on. My cousin and his friend had found it and spent hours enjoying the bliss of swinging from the edge and out over the creek. He couldn’t wait to show me and we planned on a day of it the very next time I was over. That time came on a Sunday; I remember that. Mom was not easy about letting me spend the day out of her sight with friends, but she was trying to let me be a boy and gave me her trust. It didn’t help that I'd told her what we were planning to do.  “Absolutely NOT! You'll kill yourself!” she yelled and I promised we’d find something else to entertain ourselves. My eyes would have been shifty during that promise and I probably had fingers crossed behind my back because as we all know, that makes it a clever deception, not a lie - which is not a sin.  When we got to the tree, completely disobeying my mother, my cousin and his friend each took turns showing me how it was done. They pulled the cable in, took hold of the stick in both hands, pulled it tight, swung out over the ravine and back. Glee and laughter and cries of, “WEEEEEEE!” filled the spring day. It was my turn and it looked easy enough. I pulled the cable to myself just as they had. I grabbed the stick in both hands just as they had. I jumped straight out from the bank over the ravine just as they HAD NOT. I wasn’t the best at paying close attention and the pull it tight and swing part had escaped my notice. There is a big difference between pulling a cable tight and swinging over a ten-foot ravine with a rocky creek at the bottom and jumping straight into the air over the ravine so that there is quite a lot of slack in the cable, until that is, gravity takes effect moments later and the slack lets out violently. I knew it as soon as my feet left the safety of the bank, but there was nothing I could do. The cable snapped straight and I wasn't strong enough to hold on.  I fell the ten feet face first.  On my way down, I managed to protect my face with my left arm and break my fall with my right, which snapped both bones of my right arm cleanly.  My injuries could have been much worse, but I was lucky to walk away with a broken arm and a severely bruised face. There was no hiding it from mom, of course, so I gave her the details … I had slipped on some mud while walking by the creek and tumbled down the embankment. I Was A Teenage Ninja Mercenary Stupid Rating: IDIOT  I was fourteen when we moved to not only a new house, but also to a new state. Rambo was all the rage at the movies and so were ninja films. I was totally convinced that I would be a great military weapon for my country and also, I had seen First Blood more than 8,000 times. I was already qualified to be considered a master at sneakery. On top of that, I had a black ninja suit complete with hood and boots, so win/win. I decided that one of the first nights in our new house would be dedicated to sneaking out and wandering the neighborhood to engage in a little surveillance. After all, I’d seen Invasion USA, where Chuck Norris had to tackle a terror cell in what seemed like a normal, quiet nook of suburbia, so it was best to be prepared in the event that bazooka fire erupted in our back yard.  When the opportunity came, I suited up and soft-stepped through the house, backing against the walls and doing that quick around-the-corner peek all the expert silent assassins employ, although I knew my mom and step-dad were in their bedroom asleep. I opened the door and smelled the crisp night air. From a bush at the front, I scanned my surroundings and picked my route of covert ninja sweetness. I would cross the front yard fleetly of foot, making no sound and take my next cover behind a tree in the side yard of the house across the street. From the safety of those shadows, I would plan my next move of bold, swift execution.  It was late (or early) and there were no cars. Nevertheless, there was need for stealth and I took off across the yard like a panther. I made no sound; left no shadow. I was a breeze for all anyone but me could tell and I could see the tree in the side yard of the house across the street getting closer. The focus on my destination was sharp – too sharp – and so I didn’t see the chain-link fence between me and the tree. I hadn't noticed it before when we were moving in and, in the black of night, I did not notice it then.  I caught the thick metal top bar of the fence with my face, right in the middle of my upper lip. Dazed, I put a ninja glove to the point of impact and it stung like a mother. Then I noticed great droplets of blood speckling the pavement as I limped back toward my house. I carefully removed the ninja gear and hid it in my room, then went to my mother and explained how I had slipped on something in my bedroom and planted my lip into the corner of my wrought iron bed. She had no reason not to believe me as apparently, I was prone to slip on things.  So why do I cringe when I think that my son is coming into the fearless days of his life? I think you know the answer to that. History tends to repeat itself, so I need to be extra vigilant. I wish I had the time to regale you with every story like this I can think of and maybe one day I’ll tell some more. For right now, though, I think it’s all I can stomach. Although … Yeah, as bloody and painful as they may have been, sometimes I do still long to revisit those Days Of Good Ol’. ___________________  Wow, you say. This guy is lucky to be alive or at the very least, lucky not to be somebody's girlfriend in a maximum security prison. And I'll say to you, I know … I know. Someone was watching over me. I imagine God has assigned me some pretty awesome guardian angels over the years and I also reckon there's been a lot of turn-over at that position with angelic voices screaming, I can't take it anymore! Well, this next story will show you that shenanigans are still a part of my life. I submit to you now a tale of ...   Hotel Shenanigans  Since I travel so much, I’d expect that my readers and listeners will be treated to stories that center around hotels every now and again. One of the hardest things about consistently releasing content is figuring out what to write about. It probably wouldn’t be as tough if I were blogging about how to better yourself, make money online, or decorate the garage you’re renovating for your mother to move into by using trash you stole from your neighbor’s bin.  I, however, am making a valiant attempt at comedy and that ain’t so easy a task. I will say that it doesn’t make it any easier trying to type with fried chicken grease on your fingers because you’re on your lunch break and the buffet at Olde Town Café in Walterboro, SC has been calling to you since you drove by this morning.  Fortunately, I had an idea last night that helps in this area. I was bored while I waited in line at the front desk of my hotel to check in and I began thinking of ways I could up the entertainment ante of trips away from home.  When I first started traveling, the novelty of staying in hotel rooms was enough. I could go out to any of the restaurants that surrounded me, then see what was happening in whatever town I was working in at the moment. Afterward, what little night was left would be spent in the comfort of a room that would be magically clean and tidy when I returned after work that day. It didn’t take long, though, to become bored with all of the exploration and even the eating out. Soon my evenings began to consist of picking up a rotisserie chicken from Walmart and going straight to my room to den up like an old, decrepit bear with bad teeth and worn down claws. Had I any lawn in front of my hotel rooms, I would have screamed at children to, “Stay off it, by thunder!”  So as I stood in line behind every person who ever retired to Florida, I started thinking of fun ways to prank people in the hotel. I would never have to venture far from my room and still find entertainment that may be considered in poor taste, cruel, even evil, but would help me to pass the time with a smile.  Here are some things you might consider attempting the next time you’re in a hotel and have the proper tools at your disposal: The little girl at the end of the hall  We’ve all seen the imagery in one movie or another. There is nothing creepier than a little girl standing silent and alone in a place she shouldn’t be. The very end of the hall in a hotel is the perfect place and the stringier her hair, the better. Let her locks fall with reckless abandon in front of her face and if you can swing it, have her hold a teddy bear by the leg loosely at her side. This could be your daughter or your niece. Have her stand there in silence, staring straight ahead so that when people get off the elevator, they see her just standing at the end of the hall. When they approach (IF they approach), have her remain silent or softly whisper something like, “I’m sorry I was bad, mommy, but they told me to do it. Now it's your turn.” She can repeat that same line over and over or maybe just raise her finger to point at whoever comes off the elevator. If you’re a real sicko and have identical twins, station them at each end of the hall dressed exactly alike and with the same props you’ve decided on, with one twin out of sight. When the unsuspecting traveler approaches the first twin, have the one behind them speak from the other end of the hall. When the traveler turns, they see the exact same girl behind them. They will inevitably turn to look for the first girl, but she is gone; hidden around the corner. When they turn back, the second girl is gone and the first one behind them steps back into view and speaks the creepy line of dialogue. This can go on and on until the traveler either gets it and laughs at your cleverness or passes out and dies from a heart attack. Elevator Mind Games  I have to be honest, I’m not the first to think of playing pranks on an elevator by far. But if you have the guts to put yourself in an awkward position and make others very uncomfortable so that you may enjoy a thumping good time at another’s expense, an elevator is one of the best places to do it. There are always the classics, like facing the corner as if being punished while everyone else is enjoying the aggressive silence that permeates all elevators and looking blankly ahead. You might wait till the door shuts on a crowded elevator and ask, “So I suppose you all know why I’ve asked you here.” But I say kick it up a notch. After all, you have a captive audience and the old saying applies, Go big or go home!  When someone new gets on and chooses a floor, why not whisper under your breath, but loudly enough to be heard, “They’re pushing my buttons … They’re pushing my BUTTONS!”? Or perhaps you invite everyone to a pantie raid in your room later. If someone looks nervous, comfort them by saying something like, “Don’t worry. It shouldn’t get stuck for hours … again.” Phoning The Front Desk  There is no law against asking questions and the front desk clerk is there to help you.  Start easy. Make it something reasonable to lull them into a sense of pride in their top-notch customer service.  “Hello, front desk? This is Mike in room 326. Can I get a copy of my receipt when I check out in the morning?”  The clerk will show the utmost in customer service and never give a hint that while they understand your question to be legitimate, they also believe you to be an idiot for not already knowing you can get a copy of your receipt at check out. Then you move into phase two.  “Hello, front desk? This is Mike again in room 326. Can I get that receipt in Braille?”  “I’m sorry,” they’ll smile from the other end of the phone. If you could see them, you’d notice the stink-face they are giving you. “I’m afraid we can’t print a receipt in braille. I didn’t realize you were sight impaired.”  “I’m not.”  “Oh. Well is there anything else we can do for you?”  “You can print my receipt in braille.”  Click.  Now you’ve properly irritated them and the game is on …  “Hello, front desk? This is Mike in room 326. Sorry to bother you again, but could you send up some soap made out of baby tears? The stuff in this bathroom smells like it was made with old man sweat.”  “What are you talking about?” They may or may not still be attempting to keep an air of hospitality, but probably not.  Now you raise your voice as if their incomprehension is due to the volume of the call.  “I SAID, CAN YOU SEND ME UP SOME SOAP MADE OUT OF BABY TEARS …”  They will interrupt. “This isn’t funny, sir. Please make no more calls to the front desk.” Click.  Now the apology … in a different accent.  “Hello? Theees eees Miguel een room Three Tweeeenty Seeeex. (Make sure to roll your R sounds.) Let me apologice for de rudeness uff my preeevious calls. One final quesschon.”  There will be a sigh from the other end. “Yes?”  “Dun you thin it would be nice to give blind peoples a receipt they can read?” You should be prepared to be asked to leave.  If you’re creative and don’t mind being called all manner of offensive names, you can definitely make your next hotel stay interesting. Just do me a favor, don’t tell them I put you up to it. _________________   The Stuff Wings Are Made Of  You might think this will be an article about either angels, spicy bar foods, or colorful cartoon ponies with tattoos on their butts. It’s possible you’re thinking it might have something to do with birds or flying comic book hero demi-gods, but you would be wrong. This article is about the very bestest, most super-duper experience a human being could ever have.  It’s about live theatre and the crap that goes on behind the scenes … IN THE WINGS!  It’s the stuff wings are made of and I have a long list of shows under my belt to pull examples from.  When I was a young’n, only knee-high to a grass hopper, my mama taught me how to perform for an audience. As a child, I was in the casts of shows like Oliver, The Music Man, Annie Get Your Gun, and a local kids troupe production of Hansel And Gretel in which I donned the costume of an enormous cupcake made of sponge foam. But as puberty reared its ugly white head in the form of, well … white heads, I became uninterested in stagecraft. There was a dark time in my early teenage-hood-dom when I yearned to ride around in a pickup truck while my life’s soundtrack blared into the wind, sung by Hank Williams, Jr. I hunted and fished and felt I needed to prove that I was a country boy who could survive. And no, there’s nothing wrong with hunting and fishing in my opinion, but it’s not the person I’ve proudly become. I left that behind me after seeing my first show on Broadway. I traded my fishing rod for the face mic I’d dropped at the foot of the stage door a few years before when I lost interest. I picked that mic back up, fixed it to my cheek with medical tape and haven’t looked back. Now my fondest of memories take place at the theatre. Some are tales of onstage moments, but some of the best are the things that happened offstage and in the wings.  People who have never been a part of the magic that is putting together a live stage show frequently wonder what it is that makes us "theatre people" so darn crazy about it. And they wonder why, when the run is over, our eyes fill with tears and we weep like babies that are being ripped away from the one that gave them life. Just in case you’re one of those people who wonder, it’s because we’re babies being ripped away from something that gave us life!  Theatre is a lifeline to most of us. It’s where we take our deepest breaths, even when the choreographer has danced our feet into nubs that feel like they’re crusted with push pins and our lungs are filled with glass. Even when the director has made us run the same scene eight hundred times because someone got the giggles and now the whole cast has the giggles and the director thinks there’s nothing at all funny about it. We hurt and we laugh until we can’t breathe and to us, it’s still the best air we could ever take in.  But once the show is ready, or nearly ready, and costumed characters are flitting about the area just beyond the curtain legs at stages right and left, it becomes a whole new deal.  The wings during a show is a world all its own. It’s a dark and crowded land floating somewhere between the reality of the world outside and the fantasy playing out just steps away across the sight lines on the stage.  We have our instructions and they’re almost always the same for every show. One of them is "Stay behind the sight lines." That’s the painted or taped line on the floor that marks the boundary that separates the stage the audience can see from the mystery of the wings. If you cross it, someone in the audience can see you and that’s a no-no. If you do so, it's possible that the ghost of Thespus, the man credited as being the first actor to deliver a monologue, may curse you with fumble fingers and you'll spend the rest of your life dropping your props onstage. Many times I’ve toyed with the stage manager as I awaited an entrance and teased them with a toe pushed vicariously close to the line. Stage managers reserve the right to rip your limbs from your body if you cross the line or break a rule and they usually don’t care for my monkey-like shenanigans in the wings. I can’t help it, though. I become a kid again when the show’s going on. It’s like Christmas morning and every reaction from the audience is a gift under the tree.  Once, when I and my cast mates were about to open the first act of Into The Woods, which is done by raising the lights on a stage full of frozen characters who come to life, section by section, as the narrator introduces them, I turned to the actress playing my wife just before we were to take the stage.  “Did I ever tell you about the time I peed on my leg?”  She started laughing and was nearly roaring by the time the story was all told, just in time for the call of, “places.” We opened the curtain and she was doing everything she could to stifle her laughter. But that wasn’t enough. Several years later, I was directing my own production of Into The Woods and the same actress was reprising her role as The Baker’s Wife. I was not The Baker this time, but imagine her surprise when one night I, as the director, sidled up to her just before the curtain opened and whispered in her ear, “Did I ever tell you about the time I peed on my leg?”  I got a good elbow in the gut for that one, but there was still a grin at the corners of her mouth.  By the way, now it’s a tradition of mine to ask someone that question at least once right before they go on, no matter what show we’re doing.  Anyone who haunts the wings during a show will tell you that at some point another actor waiting in the wings all the way across the stage will catch your eye and do something stupid. I like to aggressively lip sing whatever musical number is happening onstage like I’m a rocker screaming out my hit ballad at a concert. If I happen to be holding a prop (It was my fencing sword during a recent production of The Addams Family – The Musical. I was Gomez), I’ll wield it like a guitar and accessorize my performance from the wings with a sweet air guitar solo. The best application of this particular shenanigan is when there is a group of people watching from across the way and your entrance is so close that you have to immediately jump from the shenanigan to your character and enter the scene onstage without so much as a pause. That kind of timing takes practice and a level of experience best left to veterans.  There’s always the high note in passing. Allow me to set the stage for this one. (See what I did there?)  You have a few minutes before your next scene. You have to pee and you don’t want to create a funny story to tell people just before they go out onstage. Or maybe you’re making the trek from the dressing rooms to the stage for the pre-show sound check. Whatever the reason, there is a journey you are taking among the corridors of the facility and you see up ahead that you are about to pass a fellow cast or crew member. What are you supposed to do in regards to greeting as you meet? There is only one thing you can do. You both open your mouths wide in the most comically exaggerated way as possible and let out a soprano’s “AHHHHHH!” high note. You don’t have to be a soprano. You don’t even have to be able to sing. It’s just something you do and I’ll bet more actors than not have at least once in their lives participated in this literal right of passage. It’s most effective when both are in full costume and makeup.  There’s the poke on the shoulder of the unsuspecting actor waiting to enter the scene. You poke and quickly turn away as if a phantom pokester is afoot. They almost never fall for it and will probably employ the, Oh you! stare.  I love backstage tomfoolery, as long as it doesn’t affect the show going on. There are plenty of other examples to tell and I’m sure I will because I love this stuff.  Shenanigans are simply a part of life for some people and I'm one of those. After a while, I finally gave up on acting responsible and have accepted that there will always be a little impish influence in me that enjoys a good, unhurtful prank.  Annnnnnnnd BLACKOUT!        

In part six of the series "What The Spirit Says", Jesus is speaking to the church of Philadelphia. The name is known to us today and we find its meaning to be the "city of brotherly love". That meaning was the same back then because as Christians we are to love our brothers and sisters. This area had went through a devastating earthquake and many people were still afraid with all of the aftershocks and tremors. Jesus encouraged them that even when they are weak, they were faithful as they HAD NOT denied the name of the Lord and they had kept His word! The Faithful Church will face persecution, perhaps even from those who call themselves a house of praise (We may fight prideful religious spirits), but the faithful to Christ can not be stopped because the door that is open unto them was opened by Christ himself! NO ONE can shut it!! His authority is the authority that opens and closes doors! The one who holds fast to truth, in his faithfulness and completes his assignment will receive great reward, A place of honor, a crown, an inscription of possession by Jesus Himself! and will be kept from the common temptation of the world!.

In Part 4 of the series : What The Spirit Says...", Pastor Jerry looks at the church of Thyatira and how it relates to the church of today. The church of Thyatira did many things well and helped out in the community greatly. But they had also allowed an unholy spirit of Jezebel into the church. Jesus reproves the Church at Thyatira because they had suffered (allowed) the woman Jezebel to teach and seduce true servants of God to take part in unholy acts. Reminiscent of the reason for the rebuke of Pergamos, authority given by Christ, over false teaching and adherence to false doctrine, HAD NOT been demonstrated. These teachings, this leaven, had been allowed to remain and even flourish within the church! ...And it had seduced, the church (or led it into deception). The Church has been given authority... but it was ALLOWING things that were clearly offensive to God. The same thing is happening in the church of today. With much prayer and study, I think there is considerable evidence that the Spirit of the Lord was warning the church (and pastor) that there are counterfeits. We must not hold onto these non-truths but stand strongly and boldly to the truth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
