Alasdair Macleod is one of the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all time). its like going into the mind of how the banking system works, the intricate details of banking and what is real money. Always a pleasure to hear him speak and I listen and watch everything he does.

[@mrme3717]

Bankers have developed four practices that are unsustainable and catastrophic. If we dont understand the causes of a problem we will address the symptoms or actors, not the causes. 1st Large private and Central banks have obtained the Exclusive franchise to create ALL new Currency as Debt, at interest. An increasing population needs an increase in currency, but it is ALL created as debt bearing interest. This indebts the whole world, every person, every government, in totally unpayable debts, enslaving us all to bankers through personal debt or ever increasing oppressive and unjust taxation, permits, licences, registrations, regulations, rates, duties, fees, fines, levies, surcharges, adinfinitum, of which an increasing volume goes straight to the debt creators, who created it for free. (At zero cost to themselves.) 2nd. Virtually no limitation plus fractional and recirculating fiat currency allows banks to effectively create massive new Currency volumes as DEBT, blowing massive bubbles (in housing/stocks) which devalues everyone's savings, work, pension by raising all prices. We call this inflation, but it's really devaluation. Shrinkflation adds to our reduction and desolation. The fix ? Go back to Sound Metalic Money and stop all banks and financial institutions loaning out more than they have on deposit, but further, DO NOT ALLOW LOANS OR DEBT INSTRUMENTS TO BE CALLED AN ASSET OR COLATERAL. Real Estate loans have been classified as collateral. That allows the bank to call the loan an asset, and sell it, or loan against it, which helps blow real estate bubbles. Return legal currency creation to national treasury departments with a zero Inflation policy. This will not create inflation like some bankers/economists would have you think. It is not WHO creates currency that drives the constant devaluation of your work & money, it is THE VOLUME per population/ productivity. The banks increased the base currency supply by over 65 % since March 2020 & 300% since 2008. This is multiplied as real estate bubbles lever up equity to back increased loans. You can't spend it off planet, and we've had no increase in population or productivity. How can it not devalue our savings, wages and retirement funds by a similar % as it enters the economy ? 3rd. Fiat currency whether paper OR DIGITAL has no intrinsic value, thus it cannot be used as a long term store of value, particularly in an ever expanding fiat system. In fact taxation and the 'legal' currency label attached to fiat creates artificial demand for fiat currency. The fix ? Return to Silver, Gold, Copper & Nickle currency, designated by weight, not cents/dollars. These will find their own local value. These can't be printed to oblivion, have intrinsic value, and are a safeguard against bankers counterfeit loans. Continue to keep the manufacture of Gold & Silver rounds by private mints & foundries to help keep the government mints honest as to premiums. Do not allow bankers and economists of the current system to con you into believing there isn't enough Metalic Money. You mix 1% gold, 99% copper or Nickle and you have Gold backed currency. Same with Silver & Nickle. Mint 10th ounce, 2 10ths, 5 10ths and 1 ounce. Or grams in similar fashion. Never give it a 'value number,' which is a lie. Give it its weight & purity, and let the market decide what it will buy. Call it 'slow money," like 'slow food.' It's slower for sure, but it's 10 times better for you. Probably necessary to nationalise mines & pay shareholders out in metals. We are aiming at a more just, more perfect union, and that requires we treat shareholders justly and make them whole while preserving a mining and exploration industry. So gently, thoughtfully, carefully on this one. 4th The 'World Bank' and IMF are your friendly international arms of the Federal Reserve, who loan worthless US currency invented at zero cost to enslaved nations of people to purchase necessities, when their own commodities or worthless currency would do just as well. This ensures the indebtedness of nation's simply to survive. Correct these 4 Principles and >80 % of a nation's problems would disappear. Do not allow your masters the Debt slave creator's to tell you it can't be done. They are not seeking your best interests, but theirs. It is easily done. Beware. The FED, IMF, WEF wants you totally enslaved with Digital currency. Convert your garbage fiat currency into Gold and Silver or prepare for destruction. Come to think of it, you better prepare for destruction anyway. The bankers motto is : 'Preserve your Capital at all costs.' The bankers are buying Gold. We the people can afford Silver.😢

WELL DONE!!! Alasdair's presentation was epic. I think it will go down in history as prophetic. Thanks again SOAR Financial. Absolutely amazing conference 👍

[@squirrelblack7395]

Thank you for giving us crystal clear definitions on money and credit, without which, there can be no debate or discussion on the crisis facing the fiat currency system. To understand what something is, is also to understand what it is not.

[@phuongpham-of2fb]

You are so smart. I love to learn from you

[@fu4616]

Great presentation!

[@goldbrick2751]

Excellent video

[@gingerkilkus]

Is gold really worth it to buy ? In terms of the short term considering taxes and overall cost of upfront purchase then trying to resell when I actually need the liquidity, is physical or gold stocks more worth the cost ? Because it seems to be when people speak of gold their not being specific to the short term or Long term approach to justifying the purchase. Let me know your thoughts , thanks anyone

[@fadhshf]

for sure I thought so, it seems to be a good hedge against inflation in the long term, thanks for your feedback

[@parrish8386]

Gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset that can protect against inflation and economic uncertainty. But like any investment, it carries risks. To determine if gold is the right investment option for you, an investment advisor can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks of investing in gold. They can also help you create a well-diversified portfolio that includes gold as part of a broader investment strategy. An investment advisor can help you decide how much of your portfolio should be allocated to gold and select other investments that can complement your gold holdings.

[@TomD226]

@@parrish8386 Wow, that's really impressive! I could definitely benefit from the guidance of an investment advisor since my portfolio has been stagnant lately. Would you be able to share the name of the advisor who's been guiding you?

[@parrish8386]

@@TomD226 Laurel Dell Sroufe is the coach that guides me. She’s a verified coach and she helped me see that returns can be made in both bull and bear markets. She covers things like investing, insurance, making sure retirement is well funded and looking at ways to have a volatility buffer for investment risk, lots of things like that.

#Gold has a proven track record of maintaining its value during periods of high inflation and economic uncertainty. It has provided investors with a reliable hedge against rising prices, helping them to maintain their wealth secured.

[@RichmondAnderson]

Unlike stocks or bonds, gold is way more liquid and portable. Its universal recognition makes it an attractive investment for individuals looking to diversify their portfolios and protect their wealth over the long term.

[@AliceClark5050]

Is Gold a good investment Choice to make? How do I buy please

[@virginiasnell2354]

Gold stacking is a very good investment choice to make because of its global recognition and use, and purchasing #Gold is not as difficult as many make it seem,all you need is an approved Finra dealer

[@virginiasnell2354]

Search online for GLEN CAMERON HENRY, he is an approved #Gold dealer,

[@RichmondAnderson]

Yes GLEN CAMERON HENRY has assisted a lot of people in this space to Purchase Gold. I got 20 Ounce of fine Gold through his guild

[@TheAgTeam]

Silver and gold is money. I include gold as it’s subordinate. You can’t exclude silver. Gold is way to valuable. As a medium of exchange silver and to that end copper, are more practical for transactions

[@pmacc3557]

[@jozette-pierce]

I think Alaisdair should talk more about the British banking system, and the effect their offshore bankers have on the world. That would be an extremely interesting (to Germans & everyone) story.

[@william1863]

My sister's husband is a banker and retired now doesn't get it at all. 😞 And laughed at me for mentioning Gold as a hedge of protection. Good God ALMIGHTY help them. Must be all the fluoride in the drinking water which I don't drink anymore and the Chemtrails with the 5-G over our heads and buzzing in our lungs !!!! Help us Father in heaven and Hallowed be your name JESUS CHRIST. ✝️✌️

[@justmeonthebeach]

Yeah... just 5 years ago gold was at €30k++ per kg and now it's about doubled at €59k++ per kg..

[@davidcoard1978]

Gold is money as long as its trusted to retain its value as a means of exchange. The omens are good because its competitors ( fiat, crypto) are less trusted. However Warren Buffet has a point in his preference for productive assets particularly those providing a stream of income (dividends)

[@majorpayne8373]

Really most extraordinary....

[@kuricg.168]

Gold was money since the World is existing

[@harryzero1566]

Im a little confused, if the EU has, 500 tonnes of gold, then France, Italy and Germany have much more, maybe that EU gold belongs to its member countries.

[@organizer14]

In the past US confiscated gold in USA so it was illegal to hold gold-is that a risk for Americans now?

The real money is FOOD because you can have all the gold in the world... and still starve to death!!

[@johnseabrook1703]

Yes, if u are lucky enough to be able to grow it

[@marianmoses9604]

No. Money is a state of value. As such, it must be durable and non-perishable. Gold is both of those things. Food rots. You must eat it immediately or it eventually goes bad.

[@FiscalWoofer]

And this is very interesting as fresh good quality food does not last too long so it forces humans to get closer to the ground. Something spiritual about that.

So you buy gold with cash. You sell gold for cash. So without cash metals don't move???

[@monkeyrater]

Germany has ZERO advantage to trade in asia. Germany would get destroyed if they tried to compete in Asia with actual cheap quality goods that dont break (like their cars that spend more time in the repair shop than the road).

[@hammer6198]

I wouldn't say they don't break! it seems to me that a lot of their stuff breaks quite easily. If your pacifically talking about automotives then yes!

[@monkeyrater]

@@hammer6198 Let me make very clear what Im talking about. People buy german cars for their looks. An Acura, Lexus or Infinity looks exactly the same as a Toyota, Mazda, Nissan. So you can at least give germans credit for making luxury cars that look distictive over regular cars. But german cars always break down and are always in the shop. This is not a new thing, this happened in WW2, german tanks broke down much more than allied tanks, German planes were horrible to work on to the point that its almost impossible to restore WW2 planes to flying condition because the mechanical knowledge to that no longer exists. Let me put this into simple terms for you, its impossible for germans to make products that are not overly engineered and so dont break down easily. Im qualified to say this because I know people who are in the car rental industry and they HATE german cars because german cars are just a money sink. Germans cant make a simple mantainable product to save their lives....literally, like germans died in WW2 because german vehicles wouldnt run.

[@hammer6198]
