Shadow Government

I recently made some changes to the small investments that I have. I didn’t do so after the big 2008 crash because I’ve always heard: “you only lose money when you sell low. Ride it out.” So I stuck it out but as the Republicans and Democrats battled over the US Debt Crisis and Europe struggled with its own sovereign debt issues I thought to myself: “how is this ever going to be solved?” And I couldn’t come up with an answer.

I asked some investment advisors and stock traders and the best they could offer was that markets always go up and down and while governments may not have money, big companies still do. But what if you’re a regular guy who doesn’t own Apple stock or Gold? And what happens if these governments get really desperate for cash? Where are they going to get it? Aren’t we getting close to that now?

So a bigger question formed: if I’m wondering about these things, surely those in control have been as well and what are their answers to the growing monster of debt? Having recently produced the documentary SHADOW GOVERNMENT, I couldn’t help but wonder if a crisis was being managed to help force the US and World into a new direction that before would have been out of the question. Was there something bigger coming?

And then of all things I saw a political cartoon from a 1934 Chicago Tribune. I checked it out and it’s authentic.

Make sure to read the plan on the bottom left.  To say that I found it relevant to today would be an understatement. We avoided the predicted dictatorship in 1934, can we do so again?
