Scar Tissue

 Freedom is from Within - Frank Lloyd Wright

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. - Proverbs 11:2

'Cause we all have wings

But some of us don't know why. - INXS

We didn’t understand that it’s a fairly low fatality rate & that it’s a disease mainly in the elderly, kind of like flu is, although a bit different than that.” - Bill Gates

Be careful of disinformation from less than objective sources.

COVID 19 has yet to be scientifically proven to exist.

Viruses may not exist as much as the general population consuming toxins.

Masks encourage fear & virtue signaling.

Data by Edward Dowd [former Blackrock] ‘Epidemic of Sudden Deaths’ reported.

Red & Blue Parties shut down small business in 2020.

Carbon is a trace element essential to life.

______

Are you aware of the composition of the ionosphere/atmosphere?

Are you consuming healthy food with real nutrients?

What’s inside the water or ‘energy’ drinks you consume?

How does the banking institution report your account [unsecured loan]?

Do you own any collateral or have a Plan B?

You are either a contrarian or a victim.*

Clarification of the Lesson was felt as the steel handcuffs tightened down on our wrists. 

Harnessed to other inmates in preparation for transport to another ‘Reentry’ Facility down on the Mexican Border was instructive. The import of an old girl friend and inmate politics ensured my departure from comfortable trustee status in a North County San Diego inmate center. An conversation over ethics and the corrupt principals of majority (mob) rule could have added to my acceleration back to general population wearing a blue uniform. Past experiences driving the pacific highway seeing the prisoner busses in black & white were now dreams. Never did imagine I’d reach the destination of losing all sovereign freedoms so swiftly. Facing a fearful chapter can be a tremendous gift.

‘When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.’ - Lao Tzu

*This prominent quote by a reputable resource investment manager best summarized my situation on a dark and cold evening in January of 2016

In challenging times its best to be grounded with many tools at ones disposal. Upon arrival of my new high tech gladiator home* I was approached by three young men with colorful tattoos exhibiting their heritage. Fortunately a past client within the Navy Special Forces had instructed tactics when addressing such situations:

Vulnerable points exist all over the body, but remember that the greatest number of them exist from the collarbones up. Within this relatively small area of the neck you have:

• Two carotid arteries that feed blood to the brain.
• The windpipe, which is the airway for breathing.
• The spinal cord, which controls all motor skills for the body.

Your attacker may be three times your size, but if you take away even one of these functions, the fight is over. Even a 250-pound man made of solid muscle will stop fighting if he can't breathe, which is why you must concentrate the full force of your attack on the face and neck area. [2]

When backed into a corner and prepared (few months of pushups & body preparation) one  may be surprised what can be accomplished. A better understanding was established between my new friends regarding personal space and elderly respect. A key lesson can be drawn from the business principles outlined by Doug Casey:

1. Do all that you say you’re going to do.
2. Don’t aggress against other people or their personal property.

The three banditos eventually became acquaintances near my upstairs level proving once again - we all can get along. Every day was an evolution “to secure peace is to prepare for war.” [3]

Ludwig Von Mises speaks of a successful individuals volition driven mostly at the aims of the future rather than being ruled by causes from the immediate past.

Oakland Raiders - Cheating is Encouraged. “Find a way to get it done.” - Matt Millen

Von Mises teaches the incentive that impels a man to act is always some uneasiness. [1]

* Understanding this is jail and not California Prison or ‘The Big House’

Stealth Bull Market / Aligning capital with cycles in real assets is greatly improved by comprehension of the seas or larger economic environment.

Old fixed income traders in promises to pay used to also broker gold [payment in full]. The concept of skin-in-the-game with lenders in the past was competent.

Note 

Bob Hoye noted the inflation [massive sea of new currency aggregates] moved into financial assets. Things didn’t work out per the movie as it was a historic opportunity to move to Western World financial centers.

“Everything moves in cycles. Twice a century, the ocean lets us know just how small we really are.” - Bodhi
