I watched a very thought-provoking video over the weekend – The Obama Deception.  It’s definitely worth a watch and I’d love to hear your feedback on it.  It definitely has some conspiratorial elements to it, but I encourage you not to dismiss it simply because of the presence of such elements.  I don’t buy into everything the video says, but the more I’ve learned about the Federal Reserve and other aspects of the global finance and political system, I have to say that I do buy into some of it.

As I watched this video which basically presents the case for a group of elite, rich, powerful individuals who pull the strings of the politicians including Obama & George W Bush, I couldn’t help but think the only way to be independent of such a system that is in place simply to keep the elite in power at the expense of the common people is to invest some of our wealth in precious metals.  As I documented in the post entitled Gold Will Tell You Everything You Need To Know, gold is the barometer that tells us the legitimacy of any economic recovery that a politician might claim.

While the gold markets are definitely manipulated, and the silver market especially, eventually these markets will move towards a true value – and if they don’t, a black market will materialize.  As such, it’s imperative to have some of our assets outside the financial system.  Physical gold & silver are two easy ways to do this.  Make sure you own the real, hard stuff and keep it on your property – well hidden of course.  I encourage you to watch this video and whether you buy into it or not, consider buying a little precious metals for yourself.

I welcome any and all feedback.
