Say Goodbye to Skype
August 21, 2013 By: Paul Rosenberg, Cryptohippie.com Yes, it’s time to say goodbye to Skype. It was a great idea, and it still operates well, but it’s time to sever ties. Not only is Skype plugged directly in to the surveillance grid, but the company is actively contributing to the most complete surveillance system in […]
For-Your-Own-Good Tax
August 19, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Is it cynical to think there is an ulterior motive behind “for-your-own-good” taxes? Does the government really want us to change our behaviors? Or do they just want to collect revenues off our supposed “bad” behaviors? I remember hearing a talk radio host say something to the effect […]
As Real As It Gets
August 15, 2013 By: Kevin Drost, Partner at The Owings Group We often read about the precious metals market in analytical terms: resistance points, support levels, 90-day moving averages, production, supply and demand, etc. What is often forgotten in all the analysis is how precious metals are a life saver in times of crisis.

The Snowden Effect
August 13, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Given the response from various countries and companies, and to some extent even the pundits, I am comfortable calling the post Snowden hullabaloo “The Snowden Effect”.

Wrong House!
August 5, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Evidently para-military cops aren’t the only ones breaking into the wrong houses these days. Another entity of thugs has joined the ranks of our noble drug warriors. They also break into the wrong homes, seize pets, and destroy property. And just like their law enforcing counterparts, they pay […]
FATCA: IRS = International Revenue Service
July 31, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher I’ve been operating in a fog. I honestly thought FATCA was only meant for American CITIZENS. Turns out it’s meant for “U.S. Persons”. With the net casting far wider than many realize, the IRS is essentially fiscally persecuting anyone who’s even tied to the U.S. … and by […]
The Two Little Pigs (One was Eaten)
July 29, 2013 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP Today, I want to share a comparative case study between three business partners: two of which are asset protection clients of mine, and one who decided asset protection planning was unnecessary. I am not telling you this to say that if the third little pig chose […]
Detroit: Why Pay for Nothing?
July 26, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Most people, regardless of their political bent, take issue with paying into a system that offers nothing in return.
