“Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined. ”

― Deepak Chopra



Some say to the quote above: that's the way the cookie crumbles. For the most part we all have dreams, those that want something out of life and know that anything worth having is worth working towards getting. But sometimes life throws out a situation or circumstance that may send you into a world wind and you don't know where…

“Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.”

― Deepak Chopra



People enter your life with either a good agenda or a negative one. Either they will enhance the qualities in you. Helping you to become a better person. Encouraging you to fulfill the purpose that God has set for you when you were…

There are some basics that can help you to remain federal tax compliant and not overlook valuable deductions from taxable income or even-more-valuable tax credits (dollar-for-dollar off your federal tax obligation).   These tips should help:

<>Organize your information and documents into three groups: Income, deductions and tax credits.   Keep all tax data in the same place (a drawer, a shoe box, whatever...just don't put it…

While not trying to sound like a deranged fear-monger, it is a serious concern that I have for Americans that is not being addressed by the public media at all.

.

Please at least consider these questions and then answer them honestly for your own and your loved-ones' sakes:

.

[ ]   Do you have enough food today to get through a crisis situation?

.

[ ]   Ask yourself if you'd be eating in a week if your food sources ran out today?

Everyday countless boys and girls come up missing, because of this one would think that people would stop being so careless with their children. This weekend I was sitting in a restaurant which was attached to a convenient store that serviced everyone including truckers who stopped to wash their clothing and shower. Their was a family sitting in front of me, a mother and father with their two daughters eating breakfast. At Some point the two little girls had to go the bathroom. Instead of…

This is a new year, 2012, so shake off the chains that have bound you. Be it so called friends, family members, co-workers, bosses, and enemies. It's time for you to live for you. Sometimes we allow the people in our lives to put us in a box to conform to what they what us to be. Today, speak to those negative forces and say, be gone.

Chains are heavy. They bring on depression, guilt, disappointment, sickness and many other things you don't need in your life.

Watch this site for helpful tax hints once the federal legislature determines what all the final 2011 tax facts will be for the 2011 tax year (Congress is considering changing a variety of items, possibly even as late as February 2012 retroactively back to 2011).

I know we can all agree that money is "something that can be earned and spent and taxed".   That "money" is demanded by tax authorities, utility companies and most retailers in the form of "fiat" US Federal Reserve Notes here in the USA and not uncommonly elsewhere on planet earth.

.

But did you know that in other societies in the past that "money" as a medium of exchange could be manifest not in paper but instead in large stone wheels one had to store and could exchange title…

Okay, so what is the F.F.T.P. Principle?   I'm told it is common knowledge by all true survivalists, up to and including even U.S. Navy Seals as well as most young people involved in scouting! 

.

So what do those four letters F.F.T.P. stand for?   It pertains to making your own "luck."   It may also include the very concept of "survival of the fittest"!

Okay, I'm here again.   Most of you know me, and some commonly already call me "That crackpot located down in NE Florida and SE Georgia area."   I learned from my great uncle Albert Blair "Call me whatever you want...just remember my name when you need my help!"

Todays' topic is a little odd, and I admit it, but learning and knowing about it might also save your life or the lives of your loved ones if you truly learn and know about it now and find out what it can do for you…

With all the political theatrics occuring in Washington D.C. and being constantly displayed in the media relating to "the Federal default must be avoided at all costs" issues, I thought it timely to explain something to my fellow man and woman who also lives and works on "Main Street USA":  THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONSTANTLY DEFAULTS!

(1) Every time "quantitive easing" occurs and ever more "fiat" currency is generated out of thin air, the federal government is…

The "nominal" dollar is the Federal Reserve note that is settled snuggled up in your purse or wallet.    It is termed "the nominal dollar" by those of use who fully understand that it changes (depreciates in value) every day to the long-term financial detriment of those who have (or borrow) and use them and while the government continues to mint, print and publish electronically the "fiat" (not backed by precious metals) currency used by everyday wage earners and consumers on Main Street…

"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you...you may know that you society is doomed."  - quoted from Atlas Shrugged…

A bellwether is an entity or event in a given arena that serves to consistently create or influence trends or to presage (or nearly predict) future happenings.   Actually, the word itself is derived from the Middle English bellewether and refers to the practice of placing a bell arount the neck of a castrated ram (a wether)…

For most workers on "Main Street USA" the days of having any reasonable reliance on an employer, the government and an improved economy are "spent" and will not likely come back for decades, if ever.   Employers continue thinning the ranks of their productive workers and laying off and letting go of the "lack-luster" employees by the millions.   Pension plans will not support the life style of most Americans as the numbers of firms filing bankruptcy continues to grow and the value of the…

If you have read any of my former "tirades" about our federal "fiat money" *Federal Reserve Notes"- based comments, I figured you also deserved to know why our currency is failing (dropping 20% in value in just the last 18 months).

.

Like a teenager with a limitless credit card, our federal government via "The Fed" is spending money like it is going out of style...which, believe it or not, is precisely the case.

Just to update my readers on silver increases (and good reasons to gather silver yourselves):

.

Back when the ratio of silver to gold was approximately 15 to 1 (in both the USA and in Great Brittain when the common currency contained precious metals of silver and gold) the historical ratio (over the past 4,500 years or so) was that one would have to spend 15 ounces of silver to acquire one ounce of gold.

.

Today, that ratio is closer to 50 to 1 (50 ounces of…

Put your thinking hat on for a few moments and consider this information...and keep it in reference between now and the November 2012 elections:

According to the Silver Institute (http://www.silverinsitute.org/silver uses.php)

Working middle-class "Main Street" individuals are commonly hard-pressed to acquire any substantial amounts of fine gold simply because it currently sells between $1,250 and $1,300 per troy ounce. And still another good reason: When one barters with another with a troy ounce of gold, it is very difficult to "make change" in that gold-based transaction (unless the seller has substantial "survival silver" reserves, that is).

.

One other valid…
