“Liberals are the most dangerous people because they believe they know what’s best for everybody. They’re like privates trying to tell a general how to run an army. They don’t know what they’re doing but they presume they have some God-given right to fuck around and change what’s working. They’ve never built a business or created anything except stupid movies. They don’t understand the concept of ‘live and let live.’ They always need to be fucking around with everyone else’s lives and businesses because they don’t know what else to do with themselves. The irony of it all is that most of these leading liberals are fuck-crazed movie stars who have the lowest IQs of the entire human population. But there are so many people who are just as fucked up as they are that they go to see the movies. The idiot movie stars make so much money they buy politicians who want to make the world even more fucked up. That’s how movie stars run the country and the world.
“Can you imagine making a living by pretending you are somebody else? Jumping into bed with all kinds of different people? Can you just imagine all the diseases and mental problems these movie stars have? They are all nuts, and they have the money to put other insane people into public office. So here we have these stupid idiot movie star liberals running the country. No wonder everything got so fucked up! Remember this, it’s important. Stupid dummies like power just as much as we smart people do… maybe even more. The whole country is an experiment in progressive idiocy managed by Hollywood, and they don’t care that they are screwing up the world forever.”
Bob thought about it for a little while, and finally said, “That sounds dire. What about the police? Won’t there be enclaves of safety when the world comes unglued?”
“Maybe. Thomas Jefferson said people needed guns to protect themselves from the tyranny of their own government. Maybe he meant mobs too. I don’t know. He might have though. When civilization cracks, you can forget the police, as they’ll be overwhelmed by the crimes. Many police will capitulate and transfer their allegiance to the vandal elements, just like the mercenaries sold out their Carthaginian rulers in the Punic Wars. A hired soldier has no loyalty to the one hiring or the country hiring. There’s no citizen sacrifice in a volunteer army. It’s going to be extreme times going forward because we’ve allowed extreme idiots from academia to mismanage the world’s economy for over a hundred years without honest money.
“Jefferson also said, ‘The tree of liberty every so often must be nourished with the blood of patriots.’ But he only got that half right. The tree of liberty doesn’t care whose blood it drinks. Trees can’t think, just like mobs can’t think. The tree of liberty will do just as well if it drinks the blood of scoundrels, nitwit economic academicians, system manipulators, and goon squad puppets and politicians. Jefferson didn’t know trees can’t tell blood types.
“Dishonest debt spending created present demand at the expense of forward demand. Debt service from past borrowings used to bring demand forward can no longer be serviced, meaning the interest can no longer be paid. The result is a breakdown of the financial system, defaults of governments, banks, parties and counterparties to derivatives that every player kidded themselves into believing would protect them. When the system fails, there will be no food or goods on the store shelves. Riots and looting will start it off.”
“Won’t the elites avoid the breakdown?”
“No. Were the Romanovs spared when the Bolsheviks took down the monarchy? Were their children spared? In the French Revolution, the monarch and his court members were not spared. When things change, the mob seeks revenge for being screwed. They want to hit back. People in the Old West used to hang cattle rustlers. There were no niceties and few trials. Mob justice comes quickly. Mobs have one or two leaders, agitators, and everyone else joins in. Morality goes out the window.
“When the aristocrats were in charge of Europe and Russia, they made rules to favor themselves and screw the serfs. They were sociopaths who justified their ways by hanging around with other sociopaths. They had grand parties and winter palaces, and places to go away and play, but the poor were never invited. The wealthy never shared. They thought they were entitled to their sociopathic lifestyles. Today you have the government officials, the top bankers, the Fed, and the top one hundred or top one thousand families in the world, who are all filthy rich and powerful. They make the rules and laws to screw the little people just like aristocrats of old.
“Today’s sociopaths are cut from the same cloth as the old aristocrats. They have exclusive getaway meeting places like Davos, and they have their yachts and mansions. They have politicians in their pockets, and they believe they are entitled to perpetuate this.”
“But many of these played by the rules. They earned it. They created businesses. They succeeded,” Bob challenged.
“Yes and no. They buy legislation to make it possible to get and keep monies that the little guy can’t participate in. The rules and costs of access to these loopholes are beyond his means. There are minor differences between the big political parties. The little guy just gets a Kabuki theater show called an election, but nothing changes. The wealthy own both parties and nothing changes until the little guy revolts. Then the mob does the same thing to the modern wealthy it did to the old aristocrats. It turns them out, except for the English monarchy which struck a compromise, or it offs them like it did the Romanoff family.
“The nations of the world are fed up. They see America can print dollars and exchange paper for stuff they produce. They have had it with the current post-Breton Woods system where the dollar was supposed to be as good as gold. Nixon broke our word on that deal way back in 1973. The world no longer has honest trade. Our military enforces our theft now, just like the Roman army did two thousand years ago.
“The dollar is just a piece of paper now and it will get eaten by the markets like breakfast toast. It’s not gold and everyone knows it. Other countries want to use gold and silver, and they will have their way because they now own the gold and silver. Bankers will go along with their wishes because there’s money to be made financing growth in low-cost production nations.
“Who would you finance if you were a banker? Some guy in China who works his ass off for next to nothing, or some guy in the United States who demands minimum wage, Social Security, welfare, food stamps, subsidized housing, etc.? The American lifestyle is running smack dab into a wall, like an egg that’s going to go splat.”
“What can I do about it?” Bob inquired of his mentor.
“I don’t know. Some people will build a bunker and stash food in it, but the mob will find them. Maybe you’ll see a solution while things are happening. Just try to be flexible. Be willing to eat your pets. Just be aware it’s going to happen. Maybe after three-quarters of the world’s population has exterminated itself, order will return, but that could take fifty years.
“It’s taken a hundred years of Woodrow Wilson’s policies, every government’s policies since, and Keynesian economics to get things to this impossible state. It may take many decades to get back on track and have a civilized society with honest money functioning again. It may take fifty years before people will trust any form of centralized government after the present system comes unglued. You should buy lots of whiskey and get some good books to read. Dig up Woodrow Wilson’s body and drive a stake through the betrayer’s heart. Make creation of dishonest money punishable by death again, like the Constitution prescribes. Shut down the Fed, strip the bankers of all ill-gotten gains, and make them do community service for all the lives they destroyed.”
“Sounds radical, David.” Again, Bob sounded skeptical.
“Returning to honest money and banking like the Founding Fathers prescribed in the Constitution isn’t radical. Our current system is what’s radical. The Founding Fathers were geniuses. If we follow their prescribed path of honest money, America will forever be the strongest nation, the beacon of freedom for the entire world. If we continue on the socialist path we are on, we’ll end up in a shithole like Ven
ezuela. No food, no toilet paper, nothing. No input, no output, nothing. Just shit. Compare the Founding Fathers’ result, which is America, to what the shithead Saul Alinski preached, the guy who cheated his way through college and spouted communist nonsense. His outcome is Venezuela. Take a good look at the difference between the products of capitalism and socialism. It’s there for all to see and compare. It’s inconceivable to me that any political leader would let that Alinski moron’s thinking get into their head, unless of course they don’t give a shit about being dishonorable or about selling the country’s interests for their own self-enrichment.
“As long as people believe that fiat currency is money, you need to think of ways to outsmart the government. If the government can cheat by just printing dishonest currency, which is not an honest weight or measure given for honest work or product or service, then you have to out-cheat the stupid fucks who vote for the government that is cheating you. You need to be okay with that because by voting for a government that perpetuates fiat money, people are electing to perpetuate a fraud on you, on your honest work. Get it?”
“I think so.”
“Never cheat on your taxes—the government will nail you for that—but you can avoid getting ruined in the mess the bankers have made. Avoid all the stocks they promote. Stock promotion isn’t new. It’s a way of taking huge gobs of wealth from idiots and transferring it to the already wealthy. Usually it’s done in stock issues that people don’t understand. It’s some high-flying technology or magical biology company that’s going to change the world. I’m not saying these companies won’t change the world. Some of them will, and you can even see it happening with some of them. The problem is they get heavily promoted beyond common sense and they may never make enough money to justify what people pay for them.
“When you hear everybody buying this or that company and the talking heads on TV are speaking about it all the time, gushing over their next new product or service, then it’s likely over, or over enough to avoid it. I watch some of the talking head shows sometimes. They never make sense to me. They talk about this neat new idea or that one, but never about the balance sheet or the earnings or the market size. They just gush away and every night it’s a new story. Some of the women on these shows chatting about these companies look to me like they’re having orgasms right on TV over this crap. They wear sexy outfits and salivate over crazy stories about what some company is doing. They remind me of when I was a little kid and me and my friends used to go into a closet and jerk off together. It felt good and all that, but we never accomplished anything except getting ourselves excited. We never knew any more about anything than we did before we started jerking off. Those TV stock promoters are kind of like that, jerkoffs in front of a TV camera.
“An example of a new technology stock everyone went crazy over was RCA. After World War One, the government released airwaves for commercial use. RCA was there with television sets. It was new, so everybody was going to have one. Information was going to open up the world. Well, the stock went up lots, like 60 percent per year for some years. It reached $114 per share, split adjusted high. Then the leverage came out of the market. People had to pay off their loans. The stock went all the way down to two dollars and fifty cents, for a loss of 98 percent. People had mortgaged their homes to buy it. Brokers went broke on it. People killed themselves.
“Today is no different because people and their fear and greed are never any different. Today there is leverage in the whole world, with governments, companies, and individuals leveraged up to their eyeballs. When the markets ultimately resolve this craziness, there will be dramatic declines all over the place in stocks, bonds, and real estate. People will jump off buildings like they always do. That’s another thing. When this is happening, and afterward for a year or two, do not walk close to any tall buildings because some idiot who’s committing suicide might land on you.
“The Western world is so dumbed down the people who commit suicide don’t even do that right. They know they are slowly being replaced by machines, yet when they commit suicide they jump off buildings or shoot themselves. Just think about that for a minute. If machines are the enemy, why not get even on the way out? I heard one time where Elvis Presley shot his TV because it was bothering him. And every now and then you hear about some office worker or college kid throwing his computer out a window, or a football player, who wants to keep things private, throwing his cell phone into a river. Well, those people are on to something. They’re getting rid of a machine that’s trying to control a human life. See?
“Take it a step further. Every shrink who counsels nutty people should tell their suicide patients that they can make the human population better off on their way out. Instead of jumping off buildings or shooting themselves, take a machine or two with them when they go. They could drive a car full speed into another car or a bus or train. ‘Fight back! Destroy some machines when you check out!’ should be a sign posted in every shrink’s office. Now the exception to this is when you find a machine that’s a true friend. Are you getting this?”
“Yes, I think so.” But Bob sounded unsure.
“Okay. I’ll explain some things we do at UGGA to beat the communists and their machines. Payroll is supposed to pay on the first business day of the month, but it never happens. We always pay as late in the month as possible. That’s why I keep the old card-fed computer. Mrs. Rodriguez or Barbara could do the payroll by hand in thirty minutes, but we have this procedure, chiseled in stone, that the payroll must be done by computer to make sure it’s accurate.
“It’s a combination computer and card shredder. When we put data cards into it, some always get shredded. Then we have to redo the payroll a few days later, after our in-house technician fiddles with the knobs and the trays and cleans out the shredded cards. The company that made it went out of business, so nobody knows how to repair it properly. To make sure the computer knows we mean business, we slam it a few times with a hammer. The computer room is moldy because the air conditioner is old and it leaks. This causes the computer to frequently short-circuit. We use bleach to clean the mold and spray some bleach on the computer in case there’s mold in it. We blow-dry the computer’s electronics with a hair dryer before we run it again.
“Can you see the genius of this system? Every month, like clockwork, the payroll is at least two weeks behind schedule. The business keeps the bank float on payroll money. When you multiply cash float for two weeks, times twelve months, times twenty people on staff, it works out to a delay of four hundred and eighty person days of pay not going out. So, at two hundred and fifty work days per year, the business gets almost two years’ use of one employee’s monies each year. Figuring interest at four percent, the business gets another two weeks of one employee’s income in interest each year. Multiply that by ten years because that machine is over ten years old, and I figured this out ten years ago, the firm gets about twenty weeks of one employee’s work for free! The machine pays for itself! The employees always get angry with the computer technician, but never at me. I screw them and get away with it! Pretty neat, huh?”
“Amazing!” Bob answered, but looked to be deep in thought.
“Well, it doesn’t stop there. Every employee contract has provisions that they don’t understand. They only get paid salary or pension for a completed month worked or entitled to at the end of a month survived. So, every once in a while, somebody quits to get married, or they die in retirement. That means we don’t pay them for a partial month. So if some gal gets married at Christmas and quits the day before, we can screw her out of her December paycheck and get about twenty days of free work out of her. Same for June weddings. I always encourage them to get married toward the end of June, just to make sure it doesn’t rain on their wedding. So they listen to me, and then I don’t have to pay them for most of June. Good thinking, right?”
“But what about a wedding present from the company, or a going-away present?”
“No chance. If they invite o
ther employees to the wedding, the employees can give the bride something. The company just sends a card saying they’ll get a mystery gift and it’ll be sent to their new address in one week. That way everybody thinks it’ll be something wonderful, like a new set of silver or something, but we just send them a picnic set of paper plates and two sets of plastic knives and forks. Can you see the fiat money game as I do? It’s totally adversarial. Do all you can to squeeze down your fiat payout and use the savings to buy real silver. Beat these bastards at their own game.”
“I see how you think.”
“Good. These little things add up. Always, when you take out a subscription to any kind of research service, put down that it’s for personal home use because it costs less. Look at it this way. A business is constitutionally defined as a person, so why should any person get a better deal than another one? These communists think businesses should pay more than individuals because they believe it’s their moral right to screw businesses. You need to screw them back every way you can. Have your wife join some wholesale buyers’ club so she can get your stuff wholesale instead of paying decorators. Decorators don’t know anything about decorating anyway. Open a business out of your house, even if you’re only reselling used diapers. That way you can write off some house expenses too.
“Keep office rent costs down. What I did one year is I had the building put a chandelier in our front office. Then I tried to clean it myself, but I failed. I pulled it down off the ceiling and I fell on top of it and cut myself in a few places. I had some bruises, but I didn’t break any bones this time like I did when I was a kid trying to get out of staying at a military youth training camp in Arizona. I screamed like a crazy person, ran into the building lobby where there were people all around and screamed for the building manager. I had blood all over my shirt. I yelled they were trying to kill me and I needed an ambulance and a doctor. Well, an ambulance came and took me to an emergency room. I told the doctor I was traumatized by the experience and got that on the report, so they were really anxious to try to settle with me. I threatened to sue them for not putting up the chandelier properly. I told them I’d settle if they cut our rent in half for five years, which is about what their legal fees would be to fight a liability case. That’s how you can keep your costs down, see?”
