The Creature From The Black Reserve

by

That’s it. I’m Spooked.

We’re All Sheep Trussed Up In A Financial Pen.

I’m reading Mr Edward Griffin’s chilling tale The Creature from Jekyll Island. If you think this recession is due to bloated capitalism ("were the commies right after all Dad?") – then you’re Dead Wrong.

Arguably, capitalism is the only remaining saviour of Mankind – and Womankind too….

This recession has everything to do with greed, lies, deceipt, power and corruption. And the Evil Cartel?

The US Federal Reserve and Banks.

It all starts with the Government. They want to raise more money to pay for benefits and the voters — because it gets them more votes. But the Government would need to raise taxes to get this money – which would lose them votes. In fact ALL governments need more money than they can possibly raise by taxes.

So they go to the open market and borrow money. Mission accomplished. But the Government now has to pay the loan back plus interest on this loan, so they go and loan some more to buy time and to pay off the interest. This cycle is unending – and is referred to as The National Debt.

Back in 1910 a secret meeting was held to discuss this and the Federal Reserve was created. Now Governments can borrow from the Federal Reserve. Good ‘Ole Federal Reserve then? Nope.

The problem is, the Federal Reserve just "prints more money" – it is called a loan and is redeemable in all the Banks – but the money never existed.

Now let’s talk about the Banks. They exist only to make money out of lending money. Fact.

So imagine a government worker has just been paid for the month and deposits that money into the Bank.

Remember,  the worker was paid with the Federal reserve money which never really existed. But the Bank can now use that workers money as a source for making loans to others. But for every dollar that is paid in, the Bank can loan many times more than that to borrowers…

….But that "extra" money is "virtual"

The banking system does not actually have that extra money in the bank – but can write you, as the borrower, a cheque for your loan. You pay the bank interest on the loan – based on money that never really existed.

So the Federal Reserve prints imaginary money, and the banks charge you interest of money that doesn’t exist.

And That’s The Scam.

So your mortgage, life savings, pension, social services, hospitals, investements, the very fabric of society, etc, etc, are all sloshing around in a secretive financial soup – that sits on top of a financial Black Hole. 

Frightened Shitless Yet?

Both In the UK and the USA — and elswhere, that’s the reason why the Government fixed the Banks liquidity by loaning all that taxpayer money. If the banking system collapsed the whole world-wide money system would also tumble like a pack of cards. And all the governments would be found out and be powerless…

We’d have to go back to simple bartering "I’ll trade you a goat for your sister". If only we had kept the Gold Standard – none of this would have happened. For every dollar printed, the Bank had a dollar of gold to back it up. Sigh!

The so-called "sub-prime lending" wasn’t the reason we are now all in a recession – it was just the hinge that opened the door…..

Creating MONEY!

by

Okay, I sympathise, the internet is full of BS, folks betting you will buy into their hype.

So am I any different? Good Question. Put "make money online" into Google or a similar search engine — and you will be told:-

"Here is The Secret That No-One is Telling You",

and you will be DELUGED with "how I made $575,000 inside one week" type of stuff. 

Amazing isn’t it…

….that ALL these folks, having found the secret to making loads of money online (at last), are now falling over themselves to tell you about it — and hence share the profits with you for a mere $47 or so….

….Ain’t They Generous?"

Why do folks keep selling this? Because they know folks like you and I are desperate to believe that we can become financially dependant on-line.

Everyone is selling "here is my product/approach to make the same kind of money that I’m making"

So why are they telling you? Answer. They are ACTUALLY making money by selling YOU how to make money. They are NOT making money by the products they are selling you – THEY are making money by selling "make money solutions…

The old classic "teach a man to fish and he will feed his family for a life-time" is alive and well.

So what you *really* want is a product that you can OWN — and then sell on to others SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE MONEY…

Then YOU’LL be in the Driving Seat and make money from selling others how to make money….

Have you GOT That?

Guess What?!!! I’m about to give you Life Time Rights To Such a Product…

I’ve made enough, and sharing my secret with you won’t steal a single cent from me — there is soooo much room for everybody — I’m almost blushing…

I can sell you ONE Product that will cover all your families bills – even in this Recession — in fact it becomes EVEN MORE powerful in a resession…

Keep reading this blog…you won’t have to worry about 2009 because there is SO MUCH spare cash sloshing about the planet — and folks are aching to invest….BOY! ARe You Gonna Clean UP!

Speak Soon….

 Better Still, put real money and financial secrets in YOUR pocket – not mine (Oh Yeah, I’ll make some too…)

shshhhhssshhh – keep this to yourself – just keep a weathered eye on my blog — this is ONLY for folks who have trusted me to invest in my products…..

 

 

The Untapped Income Inside Your Head!

by

As I write on this bright Monday morning, I’m sitting here in a training seminar. Fact is, I’m coaching a newbie and he needs to practice. He’s presenting up to tuesday lunchtime then I’m taking over for the rest of the week.

Okay, so here I am listening while typing. What’s that? I should be concentrating on him full time you say?

Well — NO actually. One of the skills of coaching is actually letting go. Letting the other person make a few mistakes and learn from them. Just be there to bring them back on track if needed — and give feedback of course.

You see, children and adults learn by doing, it’s hard-wired into our brain. I want him to feel a little nervous, make small errors, have a blank moment every now and then, forget the odd fact or three, and make the ocassional goof.

Every bone in my body is screaming "butt-in, tell hime where he’s going wrong, spoon feed him, etc". And end up with a puppet instead of a trainer…

Which brings me to the point of this blog entry.

I’m the wrong side of 60 years old, and at a point in my life where (as a younger man), I expected to be taking it easy…

But the reverse is true — I’m ON FIRE!!

Even if I’d have just stood on street corners, I’d have absorbed masses of Life-Skills. As it was, I’ve hoovered up masses of data in the form of:

 

  • KNOWLEDGE
  • SKILLS
  • EXPERIENCE

The glue that binds our society together in fact…

I promise you — inside your head — right now– is a goldmine of information.

You Will Now Want To Do This…

Grab three sheets of paper and put the headings above at the top of each.

Write down all the knowledge and skills you have gained, start from School days – not just acedamic stuff – life skills and stuff No matter how trivial – write it all down. Keep going ’till you’re exhausted! Did you learn to cook, fix stuff, build stuff, make stuff, invent stuff? Throw in all your hobbies. 

Then using each of those, write down the Experience you gained by APPLYING each of them. My wife spent some time training as a midwife in the Philippines. She saw stuff, watched stuff, experienced stuff that you and I could never imagine. I’ll bet there’s a Self-Help Book For Nervious New Mums-To-Be inside her right now!

The population of the world right now is  just over 6.721 billion!!! 

Now let’s see. What if you happened to have some experience in say, growing your own vegetables, servicing your car, home electrics, plumbing, etc, and you felt you could write a 40-page ebook on the subject.

In these tough times saving money by growing their own vegetables, might be on many folks minds.

What’s that? You could’nt write 40 pages? But could you come up with say, 10 headings of the major topics you want to write about? (these will be your Chapters). Then come up with say, 5 major headings within each topic? Then write a paragraph or so on each?

I’ll bet you’ve got yourself a 40 page ebook already!!!

In fact right now, Google says 355,000 folks are searching for growing your own vegetables for example, . And 14,800 searched that phrase last month – November 2008. 

Okay, here is my point.

Do you reckon you could attract a measly 1% of the folks above? Me too. Say you could sell 148 copies per month selling for a measly $9.97 or such?

Or maybe give the ebook away for free, and collect their email addresses for an upsell later on? But I digress.

You’ve just made nearly $1,500 in a month. All set up on the Internet selling on auto-pilot. Once it’s set up, you can rinse and repeat.

Could you then create and sell another 5 topics? That’s $7500 a month. Around 5800 Euros a month. Around £5000 if you live in the UK. That sounds like a salary of £60,000 a year.

Is it just as easy as throwing together a quick ebook, chucking it up online and watching the money roll in?

Of course not.

But many of my colleagues are making more than that because they treated it like a business — putting time and effort in upfront.

But the "Business Model" is superb. Low Risk. Low money up-front. Just an investment of your time.

You need a few Secrets to wind-up the Business Model and a few pointers as to the mistakes others make – so you won’t make ‘em — and you’re off…

If you can use the Internet, create a WORD Document, create emails, and are prepared to invest a little time upfront – then you’re good to go as a starting point!

Beats the heck out of investing $100,000 in a pizza franchise and working 24/7 just to make ends meet.

Flexible Thinking

by

I just got back from a meal in an Italian Restaurant in Swindon. It was okay. The service was better than the food….

It was owned by a guy who is just about hanging on by his financial fingernails.

A perfect example of a local business person trying their best to survive. I sparked off from him the second he showed me to my seat. His waiter had not turned up, and he was keeping the flag flying….

I got my brandy in a Whisky glass – no big problem. The first botle of wine was sour – the second (which he didn’t charge me for, was smooth…)

We got chatting, and we both told of our backgrounds. Turns out he is wanting to do different things…

I said that the Internet was a possibility for him to make some money in these difficult times. What he replied made me smile and give a boost to the human race – that’s you. No, he’s not a multi-millionaire….

He bought up a stock of used FIREDOORS, and sold them online to businesses and made a decent profit. Put the darned things up on Ebay.

How do you get the link between an Italian restaurant to firedoors? 

I’ve no idea, but it’s a great example of thinking outside the box. But it shows more than that. In this pernicious Recession – there’s always a market for something.

I can remember an earlier boss of mine who that said the Second World War in the UK made him vital income – money – he bought cars from folks who couldn’t get petrol, and selling them to folks who could. And that was in an environment where 1000′s of poor folks were loosing their lives…

If you are worried about your financial future, would you pay precious money to find a way that would keep the roof over your head?

Of course you would. You’d sell yer granny…..That’s The Business I’m Moving Into.

It’s as old as Egypt’s Pharos — without giving away your FirstBorn or selling your body (yeeuucchhh!)

If you have a product that others want — you’ll certainly make some money.

But if you have a product that lets OTHER People Make Money – then you are already financial independant.

You just don’t know it yet. It’s the Online Secret That Now One Dare’s Whispers Its Name…

Watch this space – I’ll be showing you how…..and I’ll tell my readers Why I’m Not Frightened By The Recession….

Spelling – Grammar – Communication

by

 Don’t Get Me Started.

Too Late.

My daughter just sent me an email – full of There, Their, hes, theys …..you get the picture….

Who was that lady who wrote "Eats Shoots And Leaves" – Lynne Truss I think. Probably misspelt her name too.

I’m dyslexic, so’s my daughter. I was top of my class at school, went on to get an Honours degree — must have some intellegence then???

Not common sense though. Lots of incomplete sentences, contractions, you name it – I’m guilty. Yet Lynn struck a chord.

Mrs Harris (Junior School), had the audacity to quote "those who spell words one way have very small minds" Yeah – she said that back in the 50′s

God Bless Her.

I can’t/don’t text. Hate this "u" stuff. But I understand what the sentence is conveying. So is it so bad after all?

Here is what I regret sending to my daughter…..

 

——————————————-

Oh my gosh!! Your ALIVE!!!

 

—————————————————–

 

You are alive.  

 

Whenever performing a "contraction" (shortening) of a short phrase – this might help.

 

You (a)re alive —- so put an apostrophe to replace the ‘a’ = You’re ALIVE!!!

 

So, "we are expecting you" would become  "we’re expecting you"

 

and " do not bother me" = "don’t bother me" (here, the apostrophe simply replaces the "o" in not)

 

and " that will do" = "that’ll do" (here, the apostrophe simply replaces the "wi" in will)

 

and "I am so happy" = "I’m so happy" ( you get the idea…) etc, 

 

However, when you refer to "your" as in the possesive sense (talking about the other person), then it is simply "here is your coat" 

(imagine saying "here is you’re coat" = nonsense = "here is you are coat")

 

Te He….

 

simple ain’t it …


…and now you know the secret (that wasn’t so hard was it?)

 

Look out for others….they’ll all be making the same mistake as you used to…and you can correct them too…

 

Love Pa xx

 

What planet was I on?

My darling daughter communicated with me. And I responded with an english lesson?

Her reply was not in language I’ll repeat here – but was well deserved….

No fool like an old fool eh?
