Interview With Prepper: ‘We Were Held Without Charges’ For Survivalist Facebook Posts

It is no longer a conspiracy theory, but a fact that people are being specifically targeted for their participation in what some call “prepping” and others dub survivalism. A couple from California had their home raided and were held without charges for making non-violent posts on Facebook about survival techniques and thought-provoking discussions.

We were able to sit down and chat with Sarah Leach about why the government felt it necessary to raid the home she shared with her husband over what amounted to thought-provoking Facebook posts.  Although Leach admitted she wasn’t certain which particular Facebook post lead to the SWAT teams seizing all of their handguns and AR-15s,  she was sure nothing she had posted was violent.  Leach said her posts were meant to provoke thought, and hold those accountable who have committed crimes or human rights violations.

“They are trying to create “threats” our of posts that are meant to elicit thought and discussion. If I ever posted something that has been perceived as a credible threat of violence, it has been perceived as such erroneously.  I have zero history of violent behavior. I have not threatened anyone, rather I have stated that police must be held accountable, as well as federal agents, for the multitude of crimes committed against citizenry, from massive tragedies like the Waco massacre or small incidents like traffic citations made via racial profiling.  We [Leach and her husband Andy Leach] have called for these individuals to be held accountable, not just by civilians, but by their own government.”

Leach was also able to get her story out to The Free Thought Project.  The Leaches are the owners of a tactical supply company. Leach and her husband were violently arrested and then detained for hours with no explanation while their home was raided by a SWAT Team and their assets were seized. But it gets worse.

The couple was detained for over 13 hours without charges before they were told the reason for their arrest. The subject that surfaced immediately were some high capacity pistol magazines the state patrol had seized then returned the year before, but that didn’t seem to be the crux of the incident.

The Free Thought Project detailed the events which led up to the detainment of the Leaches. Leach said the ordeal began when she and her husband were running errands one morning. After they parked at a strip mall and got out of their car, a patrol car from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department pulled up and blocked their path. Two deputies got out and informed the couple that one of the taillights on their car was out.

“We attempted to thank them and proceed, but were blocked from movement,” Sarah Leach said. “It was at that point I noticed a few others sheriff’s vehicles had arrived, including undercover vehicles. I realized this was not a traffic stop when I saw police agents in blue jeans with AR-15s surrounding the area. I began to record on my phone and inquire as to whether I was being charged, detained, or was free to go. They violently cuffed me, threw my phone on the hood of the car, and shoved me in the back of an un-air-conditioned police vehicle for about one hour until their supervisor arrived to begin questioning me about aforementioned magazines.”

Once Leach and her husband actually began to undergo interrogation, she said it was highly disturbing the amount of information already obtained from her social media account. Leach told us specifically:

“More disturbing were the stacks of printed pages from my social media accounts, particularly those things which criticize police and government overreach, police violence, my personal ideologies regarding self-governance and the inalienable rights we are afforded as human beings, and even memes and jokes they found, as parts of evidence to request a search warrant, including posts of a very subjective and ironic nature.

What I know is that during the day which we were in police sutody, without charges, mind you, we were interrogated about a series of Facebook posts originating from my personal Facebook wall, as well as comments I had made on a friend’s posts.  They also collected all the photographs I had posted of firearms, both images of my personal guns as well as images of firearms which do not even belong to me; simply pictures of interesting guns I’d shared or saved.  They were all together in a stack of police evidence. I was questioned more about Facebook posts and their meanings than I was about any actual firearms.”

Leach also says her knowledge about prepping and survival also likely led to the government violating her basic fundamental human rights.

“They [investigaters/government agents] had infiltrated a survivalist group I was in where we had discussed various hypothetical scenarios, including responding to a federal raid. They used this as evidence against me. 

I do believe that our activity in the survivalist community lends to their suspicions and cause, which is outrageous.  The investigator informed me multiple times that he felt we were “very knowledgeable” and “more sophisticated” than he was regarding firearms. They questioned me about survival gear, posts in prepper groups about federal raids, specifically a discussion about land barrier construction and trench digging. This seemed to alarm them.”

When we asked Leach if the government agents had a warrant when they raided their home, she detailed a rather horrifying human rights violation committed by those same government agents.

“They did [have a warrant] but we were not shown it. In fact, we were in custody for about an hour until anyone would even give us a statement at all. I asked dozens of times what my charges were and was not answered until early morning the next day, at which time we were transferred to the county jail.”

We then asked Leach what charges were levied against her and her husband and her response should terrify anyone:

“They charged us after 13 hours with possession of assault weapon, and high capacity magazine (in fact, the same magazines California Highway Patrol gave back to us in 2017.) They seized our personal AR-15s (which were all built by Leach and her husband and all parts used to modify the rifles were purchased legally) and handguns and are trying to place additional charges on  my husband for sales and manufacturing of these wepons, destpite the fact that we have countless times made it clear that we sell the items [in order] to complete and modify a firearm; and do not sell completed firearms.”

One of the agents involved in the raid was from the National Terrorism Task Force and left a business card after they raided the Leach’s home, but haven’t made a statement or tried to contact the couple further at the time we had spoken with Mrs. Leach. Secret Service was also involved, which threw up a huge red flag, not just to Leach, but to us as well.

“We have been very vocal in criticizing the Trump administration and have not wavered in the belief that politician must be held accountable for their war crimes that even [a] “president” is not a title powerful enough to give a man the right to kill or give the order to kill. That is the only reason I can imagine secret service was involved. It’s truly asinine.”

Leach said she would also like to urge us all, now more than ever, to guard ourselves and she’d like to share a message to fellow survivalists and voluntaryists:

“I would urge my friends to guard yourselves more than ever against government spying and interference. It is no longer a conspiracy theory to propose that one can be caged for mere statements made on social media. I would also like to reach out the Survival and Voluntaryism communities and implore them to work even harder now for a life free of the shackles of the intrusive state, true personal liberty, and the rights afforded to us as human beings; and that they may continue to carry the fire for all of us whose pursuits are that of sovereignty and self-governance, based on peaceful principles.”

Leach and her husband still have an uphill battle against the government which has a monopoly on violence.  They will be fighting to have their morally acquired property returned to them, including their guns and a computer the Leaches used for business.

Saudi Crown Prince Admits to Mainstream Media That Saudis ‘Financed Terrorist Groups’

The Saudi crown prince is admitting that "there are people from Saudi Arabia who financed terrorist groups," days after a judge ruled that the families of 9/11 victims can move forward with their lawsuit against the kingdom.

Dem Lawmaker: We Don’t Want To Confiscate Guns, We Want To ‘Seize’ Them

A Georgia state lawmaker said she didn’t want to take guns away from Americans, but she also supports legislation that would seize guns from Americans.  Likely missing a dictionary and basic common sense, Erica Thomas still expects us to believe that the government isn’t coming for our guns.

During an interview with Tucker Carlson, Thomas claims to not be talking about “taking the guns from law-abiding citizens, I’m talking about a ban on assault rifles. We are not trying to promote a militia. What war are we going at that we need assault rifles?” But Carlson quotes the bill Thomas herself said she supported, which states, “The Georgia Bureau of Investigation shall seize and take possession of any assault weapon, large capacity magazine, armor piercing bullet or incendiary fifty caliber bullet.” Carlson then asks how that confiscation will be received by hundreds of thousands of law-abiding gun owners in her state and in typical democrat fashion, can’t answer what a “seizure” of guns from law-abiding citizens who don’t want to give up their morally acquired property would look like.

Then the conversation between Carlson and Thomas eventually drifted into gun statistics, and The Daily Caller co-founder wondered why Thomas wasn’t calling for a ban on handguns since they are responsible for the majority of gun deaths in America.

“Don’t demagogue it with me. I am not downplaying the significance of anyone’s death,” Carlson asserted. “Since assault rifles, relatively speaking, cause few deaths,  handguns cause the overwhelming majority of deaths, why are you not calling for banning handguns and seizing and taking possession of handguns…if you care so much about gun violence?”

Instead of answering the question, Thomas decided to turn it around on Carlson, insisting, “I would ask you the same question. Would you call for a ban on handguns? No, you wouldn’t!” she exclaimed. “So why can we not put a ban on assault rifles? That is the question. Why not?” This is what gun owners have to deal with almost daily:  Overly emotional outburst from those who know next to nothing about guns and the way the work, and even less about the statistics they claim to care about changing.

After several more seconds of the pair talking over one another, Carlson finally cut Thomas’ mic and video feed, stating, “I give up, I’m trying to ask you adult questions and you don’t want to answer them.”

Democrats often wonder why we can’t have a civilized discussion about guns, and this video boldly declares the reason why.  There’s little, if any, respect for facts or basic human rights when it comes to a person who wants more gun legislation.  One simply cannot have a civilized discussion with anyone who seeks to erode the rights of others based on misinformation and fabricated statistics.

But Carlson presented an interesting question while Thomas was talking.  “What if Americans don’t want to give up their guns?”  There’s still not been a rational and logical response on how that would be handled from any Democrat; politician or otherwise.

Trump Prophecies Author: ‘Trump Is Going Nowhere. He Will Be President For The Next 7 Years’

Mark Taylor, the author of the book The Trump Prophecies, has said God will not only reveal the truth about the Vatican, but he’ll reveal the truth about Donald Trump.  Taylor says that Trump “is going nowhere. He will be president for the next seven years.”

In an interview with USA Watchdog‘s Greg Hunter, Taylor discussed his newest revelations and prophecies, which he says come directly from God. Before the interview begins, Hunter says, “I don’t want you to be scared, I want you to be informed.”

Taylor agreed. “It is not a time to walk in fear. It’s a time to walk in faith. No matter what we see or our minds are telling us . . . because God has got his hand on everything that is going on—period.” When Hunter asks Taylor what his take is on the war talk and the turnover in Trump’s administration, Taylor responded that God is in the process of taking down the evil. “The enemy is pulling out every weapon in the warfare right now because he is extremely nervous. . . God is taking this cabal down, or Illuminati and all these people that are involved in all this stuff to try to take America down and instill the New World Order (NWO). This is what this is about, and it’s getting rid of the NWO. As far as the White House is concerned, these people that are getting cut, God is separating the wheat from the chaff right now and if you’re not onboard with God’s vision…you’re gone. It’s simple as that.”

Taylor says the ride is going to be rough, and he contends, “There is some stuff coming where people are going to need to put their seatbelts on because this is going to be a long ride. You cannot clean up global corruption that’s been going on for centuries. That’s right, I said centuries, which is getting ready to be revealed. You cannot do that overnight. It takes time to build a case against some of these people. The last people we want walking on a technicality are Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or some of these globalists. It takes time to build a case, and people need to be patient. I want to see these arrests go down, and you are going to see it go down. Justice is not coming, it is already here. This stuff takes time to put in place, and people are going to have to be patient and let the Lord work out the timing in all of this, and you should know God’s hand is in all of this.”

Taylor also cotends that being negative robs you of your will to fight. Taylor explains, “You have to have a balance. You have to saturate yourself with as much good news as bad news. This frequency they are bombarding us with creates fear, paranoia and panic. It will damage your body organs. It will make you sick. It will literally change your DNA, and studies have shown this. The Lord showed me the sign will be when you give someone good news and they can’t receive it. that is a sign that your DNA has been handed over to the enemy. Now, we can change that. You can get away from the doom and gloom and go into the good news like Jesus said to preach, and you can change all that around. . . . You need to hear God’s voice correctly. You can get tapped into Satan’s frequency and you think you are hearing Good’s voice, but you are not. All you are hearing is the doom and gloom. This is designed to . . . rob you of hope, and when they rob you of hope, it robs you of the will to fight. That is the enemy’s design. You get these comments all the time when they write in and say these guys are never going to jail. Who are you trying to kid. Well, congratulations! You just fell prey to the psychological warfare. You have now been indoctrinated into their system. They have robbed you of hope. You have given up the fight, and that’s exactly where the enemy wants you to be. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to lay down your weapons. We are to occupy until He (Jesus) comes. Fight, fight, fight no matter what. We will win this war. We will be victorious.”

Taylor says the word given to him says: “This is going to boggle the mind. Look at what God is exposing here. He (God) says there is an archeological find that is coming. I think this archeological find is going to be on multiple levels. Some have said it will be the Ark of the Covenant. It could be relics. I sense, and I am not prophesying this, I sense it could be scrolls. It could be manuscripts. You are going to find out . . . they wanted to keep man divided. This is not just going to affect Catholics. . . . This is going to affect everyone. God is performing a rescue mission right now. . . . The truth is going to come out, and it is going to set people free because they have been trying to control and manipulate the people through religion, power, and money. God is going to pull the veil back and expose all of this because he’s trying to rescue his people.”

Taylor also says at the end of the interview, “Trump is going nowhere. He will be the President for the next seven years.”

THE LINE IN THE SAND. PERIOD. – Stewart Rhodes on SGT Report

Stewart Rhodes was interviewed on the SGT Report concerning a variety of subjects, but mostly on the recent attack at the Florida school where 17 young people were killed. While the gun-grabbers immediately screamed for more gun laws, few people had ideas on how to protect our children in school. Making them Gun Free Zones has not worked, as the terrorists know they have a target rich environment of unarmed victims. Stewart, and Oath Keepers, proposes to have armed and trained former military and police at the schools to protect the students, as is done in Israel. It takes time for police to respond to these attacks. Precious time. Armed personnel on site can respond quickly, thereby saving lives.

Money Manager: ‘The Chaos Coming To The Markets Is Here’

Money manager Michael Pento says that profound chaos surrounding the economy is coming. The insolvency is becoming clear, and soon, we will no longer be able to sweep the problem under the rug.

Sitting down with USA Watchdog’s Greg Hunter, Pento discussed the chaos people predicting in the markets and says that it’s already here. Pento is the author of the book titled The Coming Bond Market Collapse, as well as a financial expert and he says the media is lying when they say the economy is doing well.

“There are so many things that can go wrong with rising interest rates.  First of all, you have to understand that the permabulls that you hear on CNBC will tell you there is nothing wrong with rising interest rates.  It is a symbol of growth.  If you look at industrial production and retail sales for January, they were negative.  So, rising rates are occurring, not because of growth, they are caused by insolvency concerns.  That is the key metric here, and they are credit risks and insolvency concerns.”

 

“For the first time in 40 years, you are going to have bond prices and equity prices in free-fall. That happened in the 1970’s, but it’s going to be worse because in the 1970’s, you didn’t have an insolvency concern. . . The chaos coming to markets is here. It’s not going away, and it’s not going to be brushed under the rug. It’s not going to stay on the sidelines for another few years. The years from 2007 to 2017 were the years central banks were buying everything. There was no volatility, and stocks just went up. Those days have ended, and the volatility is only going to become much more profound.”

Hunter then asks Pento to explain who is insolvent.  The answer isn’t calming in the least.

“They’re all insolvent. Europe is insolvent. The United States is insolvent. We have $21 trillion of national debt…it’s seven times our revenue. So we are technically insolvent. And you haven’t seen anything yet because as interest rates rise, debt service expenses rise. The ECB is insolvent, certainly, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the Bank of Japan is insolvent.  I’ll tell you who else is insolvent…you asked me what’s gonna happen.  So, as interest rates rise from 1.4 from where they were in the summer of 2016, to well about 4 %, and I think it can go much higher…I think the end game here is that central banks are going to come back and buy everything.

What we’re gonna have here is a collapse in the bond market…and as interest rates rise, it’s not just treasuries that are gonna blow up.”

Pento is not the first market analyst to show a grave concern over insolvency. The U.S. deficit is beyond any control at this point. But Hunter presses Pento after he uses the term “unwinding” to describe the dire economic situation the government has gotten us into.  Hunter asks if there are people whose debt is just going to be wiped out and if at some point, the debt is going to go to “zippo.”

“According to the Bank for International Settlements, 10% of all corporations don’t have enough…to cover interest expenses. That’s ten percent of the world’s corporations. So, how have they even existed in the past eight, nine, years? By issuing debt to pay debt. So when yields rise, it’s very likely that a high percentage, maybe even all ten percent of these (they call them zombie corporations) go out of business.”

“That would be millions of jobs globally!” Hunter said. And there’s no way out.  The central banks are now out of options.

Peter Schiff: ‘The Price Of Gold Is Going To Soar’ And ‘The Dollar WILL Collapse’

Peter Schiff recently attended the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference. While he was there, he did an interview with Daniela Cambone of Kitco News and Schiff said gold is going to soar.

But Schiff (who predicted the 2008 recession) also explains why he believes now may be a good opportunity to invest in physical gold. Schiff said that the standard sentiment shared by many is that once the Federal Reserve jacks up interest rates, gold will stay level and unaffected. But that didn’t happen. Schiff said that the yellow metal has surprised the initial expectations that it would fall when the Fed raised rates; gold has climbed 9% since the Fed hiked last month.

Gold has not really rallied. It’s been going up, right? But it’s been creeping higher. Now, everybody expected it to fall. Everybody believed that as soon as the Fed hiked rates, gold’s gonna tank. And it didn’t tank. It rallied. -Peter Schiff

Investors tend to sell the rumor of rate hikes and buy the fact when in reality, the higher interest rates are not bearish for gold. But as Peter points out, that mindset still exists in the market.

But you know, the Fed keeps raising rates a little bit, every once in a while, and everybody still believes that, well, the Fed is raising rates, so that’s bearish for gold. So, everybody expects gold to fall, yet it continues to creep higher. But I think once it overcomes some of this resistance –  it has a lot of resistance around $1,350 – and I think if we can decisively move above that and then get above $1,400, just to make sure it’s cleared out, then I think it’s off to the races.

Schiff also touched on the optimism in the markets, as he so often does, claiming still that the tax cuts won’t help much because the size of government hasn’t shrunk.  He also says the rising interest rates will suck up the benefits of those tax cuts either way.

 These tax cuts are not going to provide the economic boos that everybody believes.

I think the impact of rising interest rates and rising consumer prices will more than offset whatever benefits are to be had from the tax cuts. So, I think the economy is going to be weaker despite the tax cuts. I still think we’re heading into recession.

It’s rare to have this much optimism, but there are more problems now than there’s probably ever been, yet everybody is overlooking that. So, at some point, people are going to rush into gold, and the problem is there’s no one that’s going to rush out. So the price, I think, is just going to soar. I think you’re going to see 50 or 100 dollar moves per day up in the price of gold, once we break out.

Schiff holds firm that the consequence of the Federal Reserve manipulating the economy will be the crash of the dollar.

They actually made the bubbles bigger than the ones that popped. So now, the dollar’s collapse is going to be that much bigger, because it’s now a bigger bubble with more air to come out of it. And I think they have no more tricks up their sleeves. When this happens – it’s over.”

 

 

Author Of ‘Trump Prophecies’ Reveals TWO NEW Prophecies In Interview

Mark Taylor, the author of “The Trump Prophecies” claims God revealed two new prophecies to him, and he’s sharing them publically.

Mark Taylor, predicted Donald Trump would win in 2016. He also said after that historic win, “there would be military style tribunals” to prosecute massive crimes in Washington, D.C.  With recent revelations of widespread corruption at the FBI and DOJ, could Taylor soon have his second prophecy proven correct?  In an interview with USA Watchdog’s Greg Hunter, Taylor explained that prediction.

“The whole push right now is people are screaming ‘release the memo, release the memo.’  When you have Congress that has read the memo, and they are saying this is going to be a nuclear bomb, that’s bad.  It’s worse than most people would think.  I have been on record for the last year, year and a half saying that when this stuff starts to break, they are going to have to be careful how they handle this because this could take down parts of government. . . . One of the objectives for the ‘Army of God’ is to start praying now because when they serve these arrest warrants and start rounding these people up, there could be some civil unrest.  It’s up to us to blaze a trail in the spiritual so it doesn’t manifest in the natural. . . . We are on the precipice or the cusp of all this taking place.  When they release that memo . . . I am not saying there will be civil unrest because it’s our job to pray against that stuff, but there could be some hot spots in some areas of the country.  We  just need to be prepared for some of this stuff because we are crossing a threshold in this country where we have never been before.  I said a long time ago this is going to go global.  It’s not just America that is involved in this stuff.  You are going to see other countries involved. . . I think the pin has been pulled on the grenade, and this thing is about ready to explode.”

 

Hunter then asks Taylor’s take on the mainstream media and the obvious desire those people have to cover up this scandal.

“The mainstream media is…corrupt. They can’t be trusted first off. They’re in the pockets of the globalists.  They’re being told what to do, they’re being told what to say. It’s scripted out. It’s a known fact thet they’ve got scripts that they send to each one.  From my understanding…there’s actually CIA operatives assigned to the mainstream media.

It’s psychological warfare. They know how to do this where they are manipulating the people. They are decieving the people.

I just know that God’s gonna clean out the news media, and the news media’s gonna take a hard hit. At some point, the spirit of truth will come back to the news media.”

Taylor’s first new prophecy revolves around the national debt. He goes on to say that Trump’s decreased regulations of the oil and gas industry will help slay the debt.

“There could be many things that will slay the debt, but one of the things that kills the debt or slays the debt will be oil. The energy boom that is fixing to take place right now in this country is like nothing we have ever seen in the history of our country.  The energy is fixing to explode.  Here’s what they are not reporting on mainstream media. . . . All of these oil rigs went to . . . all these other places under the Obama Administration because he had the permitting locked down so tight.  Trump has released the drilling rights and given the permits out. . . . All these rigs that have gone overseas, they are picking up all their equipment and drilling rigs and are on their way here, as we speak.  We are fixing to have an oil boom and an energy boom that has never been seen before . . . and I believe that is what actually slays the debt.

That’s basically [the prophecy] in a nutshell, right there.”

But Taylor has yet one more prophecy he reveals to Hunter in the interview. “It’s called ‘The Evil Crew of 32,” says Taylor.  He then speaks of repenting and asks the leaders of churches and the United States to understand that this message is for them.

“The spirit of God says ‘two will be taken and three will be shaken. While I will remove two from the evil crew of 32, and the other three shall be shaken to the core. The 32 years they have altogether served and empowered that entity called Bael, and the covenant they had holding up this house with the Illuminati and the New World Order shall come crumbling down. For when the first one is taken, it will be a sign that the New World Order shall die. When the second one is taken, it will be a sign that anyone calling himself ‘mine’ but comes against my Israel, sympathizing with their enemies will not be tolerated. The three that will be shaken will be a sign that no one is above the most high God, not even those that hold the highest offices in the land.

Yes, even the Supreme Court will be shaken. Do not fear, America, when you see these things manifesting, for these things must come to pass. I will clean up the darkness and it will usher in my light. For I have America in my hand.”

The 32 represents the 32 years the five former living presidents of the United States served as “leaders.”  Taylor’s prophecy is interesting, to say the least, take from it what you will, but he says two will be removed from the face of the earth and the other three will be “shaken.”

Phil Sloan: The Financial Crisis Will Be ‘A Shock To This Country. It Will Be Chaos’

Phil Sloan has been in the Investment business since 1962 and he’s sounding the alarm for those willing to listen.  He is saying “prepare yourself; your way of life in the United States is about to change.”

Sloan was the Managing Director of Fox Asset Management, a subsidiary of Easton Vance at Fox. He was also on the Investment Committee, the Strategy Committee, and the Management Committee. Sloan was also the Vice President of PaineWebber (now UBS) Investment Consulting services and worked with financial advisors nationwide, setting Investment Policy, Asset Allocation, hiring outside managers, and monitoring results. As if that wasn’t enough, Sloan was also the Vice President consulting services for Merrill Lynch.  It’s safe to say he may know a thing or two about the financial crises (both past and future) in the United States.

Sloan was recently interviewed by the X22 Spotlight, and he is asking people to prepare themselves now for what’s coming.

Sloan says the economy is moving at a snail’s pace, but that isn’t all. He expects that at some point we (the US economy) will run out of gas. He says that pension problems are headed our way. “Pensions have problems because they were never funded properly and the idea that somebody could retire and get paid their full compensation for 20 or 30 years is a ludicrous concept. So, therefore, now that you have an aging population and they have all these crazy schemes built in that ‘we’re gonna pay you for the next 20…25 years at your full salary..there’s just no pension in the world that can do that. ”  Pension issues are becoming a problem.  Many states are struggling with these unfunded liabilities.

“The pensioners are going to wake up one day and get an email or a phone call or whatever, saying ‘by the way, you were supposed to get 100 bucks, but unfortunately, we don’t have enough money, so you’re going to get 50 bucks’…60 bucks…40 bucks…or whatever their number is. I can’t tell you what that number is, but it’s not going to be 100.”  Sloan goes on to say that the United States is $20 trillion in debt, so governors that seek to pad pensions with money from the treasury are going to be massively disappointed.  Sloan also says that if anyone ever approves funding pensions this way, the US will become Zimbabwe.  “There is no way to pay these Ponzi schemes,” Sloan said.

When Sloan was asked about his take on the elites keeping gold down, he said:

“…it’s some central bank trying to disrupt the marketplace. If you look around the world, the Chinese central banks are getting gold reserves. The Russian central bank; getting gold resesrves. So, they want to have a currency system, a payment system, whatever you wanna call it, that’s based on real money. Gold has been around for thousands of years and has always had value.”

Sloan was also asked what happens in the United States when the dollar system finally breaks apart, which it will do inevitably. Sloan said:

“Inflation will come back rampantly in this country, and we will be, you know, having this real problem of potentially hyperinflation to deal with.  Because if the dollar goes down by 25%, and you are, you know, China or Europe or whomever, selling goods to the United States, you’re no longer gonna say ‘well, I’m gonna accept the dollar, you want a dollar and a quarter, a dollar and a half, a dollar and three quarters, etc. So, I think, if inflation comes back, it will affect everybody in a very negative way. AND, we will no longer be able to live beyond our means…Which is going to be a shock to this country….it will be chaos.” -Phil Sloan

Ron Paul: We Are Reaching A Point Of No Return

This article was originally published by Adam Taggart at PeakProsperity

Dr. Ron Paul has long been a leading voice for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, sound money, civil liberty, and non-interventionist foreign policies.

Dr. Paul served as the US Representative for Texas’s 27^th Congressional District from 1976 to 1985. He then represented the 14^th district from 1977 to 2013. He ran for the office of US President, three times, most recently in the 2012 Republican primaries. Dr. Paul also had a long career as an OBGYN over which he delivered more than 4,000 babies.

The recent author of the book, The Revolution At Ten Years, Dr. Paul looks ahead at the future of the movement he helped launch — tackling central planning, the military empire, cultural Marxism, the surveillance state, the deep state, and the real threats from these institutions to our civil liberties.

As a multi-term member of Congress, Dr. Paul knows the players and policies responsible for the growing unfairness and inequality now rampant in society. He does not expect the offenders will reform willingly. Instead, he predicts the system will collapse under its own unsustainability — offering a rare and valuable chance then for more sound and fair solutions to prevail:

Wealth doesn’t come from the creation of money, especially a fiat system. With too much fiat money and all this credit, eventually the economy becomes exhausted and engulfed with debt and mal-investments. The treatment for this is a correction; you have to allow the debt to be liquidated. You have to get rid of the mal-investment and you have and to allow real economic growth to start all over again. But that wasn’t permitted in ’08 and ’09, which is why there’s been stagnation. It’s hard to believe that today we have negative interest rates — real rates are negative and people still aren’t grabbing them up! A shortage of money isn’t the problem here; rather, it’s a shortage of understanding market conditions.

We’re over-taxed and over-regulated. This is resulting in a destructive system that has divided the country into two groups: those who haven’t recovered from the Great Financial Crisis versus those who are getting very rich because they’re on the receiving end of the new money created by the Federal Reserve. The people who get to create the credit get to distribute the credit, which always results in a situation where money becomes unfairly distributed, as its allocation is no longer dependent on productivity.

We haven’t changed anything. We still have a system where we encourage people to borrow money, that debt doesn’t matter, and we’re not going to cut taxes, and we’re not even going to admit that we spend too much money. Nobody can cut anything — that’s why Washington is at a stalemate. A lot of people don’t like Obamacare, but there’s enough people who do like it. Once it has been implemented, it’s very hard to get rid of a program. I also don’t think that the proposed tax reforms will actually lower taxes. They never do.  Our politicians won’t admit where the real problem lies: overspending, monetizing the debt, taking over the whole world through the monetary system, financing wars, financing welfare and the military industrial complex. It’s going to continue until this whole thing comes apart.

The eventual event will be driven by the marketplace. When it comes undone, they will no longer be able to prop things up just by printing more money. If we have a sharp downturn and they decide, “Well, QE didn’t work because it wasn’t enough.” and they double QE, there’ll be a point of no return and all confidence will be lost. We’ll dump the dollar. Interest rates will go up instead of down. That will make all the difference in the world because it will be unsustainable and create real challenges for the dollar remaining the reserve currency. When the dollar no longer serves as the world’s key currency, that’s when the ballgame will be over.

Body Language Analysis Of Awkward Interview With Mass Shooter’s Brother

By now, most have seen the extremely awkward and often downright uncomfortable interview with Stephen Paddock’s brother. Paddock is the supposed gunman who killed 59 people and wounded over 500 more when he open fired on a crowd at a country music concert in Las Vegas, Nevada.

ISIS and Antifa have both claimed responsibility for this shooting, however, it doesn’t appear that either of those can be validated at this time. Without a motive, many have been left pondering the possibility of this being a false flag. Keep in mind, the definition of a false flag does not mean that the incident never happened. It means blame is being shifted to someone else for the atrocity.

False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as if they are being carried out by other entities.

But the body language during the interview with Paddock’s brother, Eric, was awkward at best and is adding more fuel to the fire of possibility. A body language analyst takes on the interview, and the first thing noticed that the way that he is “bobbing up and down” should have been the primary clue that something is not right here.

Not all is as it seems with this shooting. Many things are out of place and the evidence that someone is covering up the real motives for this is compounding.

The body language analyst says that early in the video it’s fairly obvious that Eric did not really care for his brother Stephen, but he is in true disbelief that the shooter was his brother. Yet she feels that the “political” motive, based on body language, is more likely than a religious motive.

The analyst does say that she feels that Eric is being deceptive, and maybe not in a huge way, but using “lawyer speak” to slightly change the narrative. Eric could be covering for a possible political motive but it is hard to say.

His body language is strange and he did react with odd mannerisms reminiscent of a child. The most important piece of information relayed was that Eric may not have liked his brother all that much and there may be some deception about Stephen Paddock’s political affiliations. He also had a rather lackadaisical reaction when he mentioned his brother was dead, which could have helped had the analyst expanded upon more in the video to give an idea as to just how distant these two brothers were.

Student Gets More Than Expected When He Finds Mattis’ Private Number

By Jack Davis – July 10, 2017

Young eyes could see opportunity when The Washington Post inadvertently published a photo with Defense Secretary James Mattis’ phone number in it.

The May photo, which was removed form the paper’s website soon after, was up long enough for Teddy Fischer, 16, a sophomore from Mercer Island High School in Washington state to text Mattis an interview request.

“I called it to see if it was him, because I was pretty curious if this is actually his number or is it kind of a joke,” Fischer told King 5 local news, saying that he recognized the voice, but was too shy to leave a message. Then he sent a text.

“I never really thought it would work,” he said.

It did. Mattis called back, and not only scheduled the interview, but also spoke with the student for 45 minutes.

The high school’s student newspaper, The Islander, published the transcript of the wide-ranging interview, in which Mattis encouraged students to study history.

“The human condition, the aspirations, the dreams, the problems that are associated with being social animals, not being a hermit and living alone, but having to interact with others, whether it be your local school district, your community, your state, your county, your national, your international relations, history will show you not all the answers, but it’ll tell you a lot of the questions to ask and furthermore, it will show you how other people have dealt successfully or unsuccessfully with similar type issues. I wish now looking back on it, if I’d known what waited for me in life, I would have put a lot more attention into history,” he said.

When asked what young people should do who are fearful of the future, Mattis recommended action.

“Probably the most important thing is to get involved. You’ll gain courage when you get involved. You’ll gain confidence, you’ll link with people, some of whom will agree with you and some won’t, and as a result, you’ll broaden your perspective. If you do that, especially if you study history, you realize that our country has been through worse and here’s how they’ve found their way through that,” he said. “Here’s what leaders did, here’s what educators did, here’s what business people did, here’s what soldiers did, here’s what politicians did, and you can sometimes see, by weaving together that tapestry, how to go forward. You lose your paralysis, you lose your, I would almost call it unproductive worry, and you replace it with productive action.”

Last, Mattis explained why he called the student.

“Whenever I can, I try to work with students who are doing research projects. I was at Stanford University for a little over three years after I got out of the Marines before I got surprised by this request I’d come back and be the secretary of defense. So, I’ve always tried to help students because I think we owe it to you young folks to pass on what we learned going down the road so that you can make your own mistakes, not the same ones we made.”

“Any advice for graduating seniors?” Fsicher said, sneaking in one last question.

“I would just tell you that there’s all sorts of people that are going to give you advice and you should listen to the people you respect, but I think if you guide yourself by putting others first, by trying to serve others, whether it be in your family, in your school, in your church or synagogue or mosque or wherever you get your spiritual strength from, you can help your state, you can help your country, if you can help the larger community in the world, you won’t be lying on a psychiatrist’s couch when you’re 45 years old wondering what you did with your life,” Mattis answered.

Fischer came away with more than just an interview. He also learned a major life lesson.

“It never hurts to ask anybody anything,” he said. “Even if they seem like they’re a distant figure, even if they seem like a powerful figure. There’s a human side to politics and people are much more approachable than you think.”

Russian President Putin Blames “Media Hysteria” For Turn On Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin does not see the United States as an enemy, regardless of what the media is shoving down the throats of its ardent followers.  Putin is blaming “media hysteria” for the newest chilling of relations between the US and its former Cold War foe.

While Putin was speaking at his annual Q&A, where a self-described pro-Russian American asked how he could convince his fellow Americans that Moscow was not an enemy, he said that the two nations were allies in two world wars.  Putin also reiterated his assertation that the “anti-Russian sentiment” in the US is coming from internal political strife in America.

Putin said Russia has “many friends” in the US, although “media hysteria” has taken its toll on bilateral relations. Overall, Moscow believes US-Russia relations will return to normal.  Media hysteria is also taking partial blame for yesterday’s shooting of Republican politicians at a baseball practice. US civilians are being subjected to media propaganda, and Putin isn’t afraid to say it.

But Putin is also open to constructive conversations with the United States, something being hidden from those subjected to the media’s fear mongering tactics.

We’re open for constructive dialogue with America – Russian president https://t.co/6woRQr4lSl pic.twitter.com/9ZvUkXrpEY

Putin commented on the congressional testimony made by former FBI Director James Comey, who accused Russia of interfering with the US election but not changing any votes. It’s “a good enough thing” Comey did not accuse Russia of interference in the vote count during the 2016 US election, Putin said. The president said Russia’s influence on American’s minds was no greater than that of America, which sponsors NGOs (non-government organizations) worldwide with a goal to influence countries they work in. In fact, here’s some leaked audio of Hillary Clinton, which proves she does rig elections in other countries.

He also remarked that Comey’s leaks to the media about his conversations with Trump put him in a vulnerable position.

“[Comey] suddenly said he recorded a conversation with Trump, and then handed the tape over to the media, which is strange. What’s the difference between him and Mr [Edward] Snowden then? He’s a human rights activist then, not an intelligence chief,” Putin said. “At any rate, if this entails some kind of prosecutions against him [Comey], we are ready to grant him asylum in Russia. He should be aware of that,” Putin added.

Putin’s no-nonsense approach to “political schizophrenia” in the United States is bold.  He’s taking on the media and their propaganda.  It’s oddly ironic that the former Soviet Union is more accepting of leakers by offering them asylum than the “freest nation on earth.” Putin could be onto something.
