Asset Protection

2008-07-17

protecting your assetsRecently Im been having thoughts and questions about asset protection. The reason why is because recently my friends grandma passed. Also, while I was helping my friend pack up her stuff for his mom we found a silver bond for 4000LB of silver, and a gold bond for 200LB of gold. I examined it a bit further before packing it away and noticed they were treasury bonds, and I looked on the back to see if they were endorsed, maybe like a check, but I didn't see any signature. Now Im worried, how can I protect my assets and how can I pass it on to my heirs.

So here I am at home doing research on what I now know is called 'wealth preservation', I knew I didn't want some kind of offshore asset protection, I wanted strictly domestic asset protection. So I began to seek out a local asset lawyer's website for more information and I found out that they are like a tax haven when it comes to making it more affordable in terms of lessening the tax on the estate and creating a solid estate plan. Visit AssetLawyer.Com if your interested in learning more about what I read.

This controversial song 'Kiss my glock' by Ted Nugent has seemed to create quite a commotion. Ted said he was inspired to create it by the anti-gun 'liberals'. In it he bashes Janet Reno by calling her Jack Reno then they 'pants' a portrait of her holding a Nazi flag to reveal a very large uhhh 'member'.

This hasn't been the only time Janet has been made fun of by a popular figure. She's been impersonated by other celebrities like Will Ferrel.

This whole live concert by Ted Nugent has really created a stir on the internet and even the mass media news network. Watch carefully how Hannity actually defends an outspoken Patriot for once.

What are the Causes and Effects of a Recession

2008-07-16

 

Recession house of cards

 

This recession has been a particularly bad one. One of the biggest problems of this recession is people who can't afford their house any longer and are unable to sell it for even whats owed on the mortgage. Banks often times say they don't mind short selling the home for you, meaning they'll take whatever your home will sell for and forgive the extra debt, but this is often not the case. Banks will only allow you to short sell if you have little to no other assets they can take. Their in business to save and make as much money as possible. Don't get confused with real estate short sales and stock market short sales though. Stock market short sales are a completely different problem we're having.

So what causes recessions?

Recessions are caused by speculation, currency crises, inflation, national debt, and war. We currently have problems in everyone of these areas at the moment. The FCC just a few days ago began their initiative to stop the naked short selling of stocks, which is a big problem at the moment. Right now the price of oil on the Dated Brent Spot is being manipulated through ICE and their buying and selling of oil futures. The dollar index rose a few basis points just from the news of cracking down on these crooks alone. Although we are working on some of the problems of this recession, other problems like the war, the national debt, inflation, and the currency crisis have not been addressed.

What are the effects of a Recession?

 The effects of a recession can be quite painful. Recessions cause unemployement, foreclosures, bankruptcies, stock market crashes, reduced sales, and banks tend to lend less money. When banks lend less money though it actually helps because it causes deflation. Deflation happens when theirs a contraction of the money supply. When the money supply contracts it's usually caused by high interest rates. Deflation can also be caused by increased production efficieny, which allows the company to lower its prices. Deflation causes prices to go down, and causes the dollar to be more valuable.

How can I know If Im prepared for this recession and the next one?

Recessions are hard on everybody, including the rich. This is because their companies are usually in more debt than their business is worth. Debt can hurt anyone in a recession. The best way to survive a recession is to simply be debt free and put away money for a rainy day. Not only should the average person prepare in this way, but big businesses should too.

Do you know if your financially fit enough for the next coming recession? You can take the BillsIQ quiz to find out. I took it. It really helped me think about my current financial situation and what I can do to improve it. My suggestion would be that you get your Bills IQ score over 95 if you plan on surviving the next recession without a problem. You also should share this quiz with people that you care about whom may not realize their financial mistakes.

Karl Rove Violates a Subpeona by the Judiciary Committee

2008-07-12

Karl Rove is now a wanted man for violating a subpeona to show and testify before a Judiciary Committee hearing. To avoid arrest he has fled the country. Many believe he's hiding out in Bush's ranch in Paraguay which is in South America.

Here's some footage from the Judiciary Committee meeting that Karl Rove was suppose to appear at. Unfortunately Karl's chair was empty and one of his colleagues told the chairman that he's on a "long planned vacation".

Also, here's some footage analyzing the whole situation. You can also read more about Karl Rove's violation of the subpeona at CNN.

Why Home Insurance Is Important

2008-06-29

Natural disastersAt any time during the day there are several natural disasters occuring in just the US alone. You can monitor natural disasters live as they occur at USGS's website. When you look at their live map you quickly realize why home insurance is important. You never know when your going to be the next one victimized by a earthquake, fire, flood, or any other natural disaster. Protecting your biggest asset your home and property should be important to you. One natural disaster could wipe out your entire wealth.

Home insurance isn't that expensive. The average person pays around $300 dollars a year which works out to less than a dollar a day. The price does go up though if you own a really expensive home. If your home is worth a half a million dollars then expect to pay atleast $750 a month. To me it's worth spending a couple grand in a lifetime to insure my property.

Ron Paul Talks About Energy & Iran (C-SPAN 6-26-08)

2008-06-29

This is possibly the best explanation of the current energy crisis and how it relates to Iran. Many people still can not yet conceive the reasons why gas prices are so high. I didn't really recognize them myself until I did more research. I didn't believe many of the arguments the national news gave me until I did the research and found out why they gave those reasons. Nearly every reason they give is true, they just don't explain why. Also, nearly every documentary I've watched on the subject is also true. The energy crisis is real.

The only way to prevent demand from rising above the current world production levels is to conserve and use alternative energy. If your only worried about the short term then we can probably drill our way out of this mess but we will just be in this same situation 100 years from now. Also, using electric vehicles and things like that which never release any smog will help clean up the air.

Why We Need to Invest In Alternative Energy Now

2008-06-22

Image Source: Nytimes.ComAs you are reading this the major powers of the world are securing and competiting for security over the limited world oil production. Countries like China, who is expected to have over 90 times as many cars by 2010 than it had in 1990, are sucking up more of the world's oil production at a rate that is increasingly harder to keep up with. This is why we need to invest in alternative energy now or prepare to go to war over it.

Just recently China tryed to buy out the U.S.'s biggest producer of American oil Unocal. Senate legislatures quickly began to dispute the bid by pointing out the fact China is trying to buy up US oil production that Americans already depend upon. After a period of time China backed down and finally gave up their quest for Unocal.

One thing we can do immediately is copy what Brazil is doing and use sugar and corn to make ethanol. The US has an abundance of corn, it's coming out of our ears, lets put atleast a portion of this surplus corn into ethanol. While we take advantage of this technology which is available today we should also create incentives to invest in alternative energy. One thing I feel strongly about subsidizing is battery technology. Right now we could have very affordable electric cars if only there existed a cheaper light battery than the laptop battery. Electric cars today literally have to use thousands of laptop batteries to operate for long periods of time and to charge quickly.

Ralph Nader Commercial to Impeach Bush & Cheney

2008-06-12

One of my all time favorite whistleblowers Ralph Nader recently released a commercial calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. Ralph is a lawyer who is a consumer rights activist who is always looking out for the best interest of the American people. He's like a watchdog, one of the only watchdogs who has successfully stood between big business and government stepping on the little guy.

Good Hunting Shorts

2008-06-11

good hunting shortsThere's nothing worse than getting out to your hotting spot, having a great time, then running out of ammo. It also sucks when your pants pockets are packed so tight its hard to even walk. Some people hunt with a pack on to carry all their things along with them but I just can't do that, too hot here. That's why I went online (I suggest you do too) and bought a pair of 511 Tactical Shorts. With these shorts I can carry my wallet, keys, cell phone, hunting license, water bottle, and 400 rounds of ammo with ease.

How to Lose Weight Fast with a Diet

2008-06-10

Dieting is a great way to lose weight. If you know enough about nutrition to plan a calorie diet based on your weight then make plan of what you will eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. everyday for 1, 2, 4, 8, or even 12 weeks. The average man burns about 2000 calories, so if you want to diet then you would want to eat exactly 2000 or less calories everyday. Adding a bit of exercise can really speed things up too but it isnt necessary, don't overwork yourself, just focus on your diet.

If your not saive like some of the people out there who can make their own diet plans then don't give up, theirs still hope for you too. You can easily go on a diet by ordering food and a diet plan from Diet Direct.Com. The easiest place to start is by ordering their 1 Week WonderSlim Weight Loss Kit. If you combine this diet with a bit of exercise then you can easily lose a few pounds in just one week. This diet will burn 400 calories a day plus the calories you burnt exercising, with all the calories added up you could very well lose 7000 calories which = 2LB (3500 calories in 1LB).

If your not the type to exercise and you only want to eat (diet) then your going to need the 12 Week WonderSlim Weight Loss Kit. You should lose atleast 6LB without any exercise as long as you follow the diet. 6LB is a noticeable difference.

Will Globalization Work?

2008-05-29

Globalization is an idea invented by businessmen for business. They all thought it would be great to be able to produce goods overseas at a cheaper price then ship it back to the US for a huge profit. Unfortunately for them though, the businesses who decided to embrace globalization by building manufacturing plants overseas have done so without ever foreseeing the hidden costs.

The main reason globalization is failing is because of the increased gas prices which has caused the cost of shipping to skyrocket. Even though you may have been able to make a bottle of Vaseline for 25 cents in China, the cost of shipping it back to the US and abroad could very well be $5 USD just for that one bottle. Im sure you can clearly see by now why shipping and energy prices is a key part of globalization.

There's also lots of other hidden costs that add up when producing products overseas. One of these problems never encountered before until globalization is contamination. Now businesses who embraced globalization are learning its not so cheap afterall. They now have to hire a security force to protect against terrorists and a lab to test their product for quality assurance to even attempt to solve contamination risks.

In my view globalization has backfired. Maybe its time to listen to those who have lost their jobs because of manufacturing plants moving overseas. Maybe nows the time to bring those jobs back to the US. I don't think you can make a profit any other way how oil prices are.

Bush Confronted By David Letterman

2008-04-29

David Letterman is an extremely smart man that has a well-rounded, non-biased world view. He is a man who likes to read, keep up with current events, and study history. David Letterman gave it all he could in this interview, while still remaining classy, but I could tell it was taking everything for David not to jump over the desk and get in his face about it.

How to Save Money On Long Distance Calls

2008-04-27

phone cardsOne of the most favorite things the major telecommunications companies like to do is hit you with major long distance fees. It's their absolute favorite, we all know it. One solution to this problem is to get a internet phone service like Vonage. There are some cons to that though, I use Vonage I would know. The biggest con has to be that the quality of your phone call is based on your internet speed. If you share internet this is a major problem because If some ones surfing while your trying to talk the phone call will be completely horrible. For this reason, plus others, Im recommending you call your mom, grandma, whoever you call long distance with calling cards. You can find the best deals on a phone card for the area your trying to call.

Bush May Give Welfare to Illegals

2008-04-27

Its bad enough that the social security retirement fund is seriously in trouble, yet still Bush has a plan to make it a whole lot worse. This plan is not only horrible though, its also racist. This plan would allow Mexican Americans who where able to adjust their status to a legal worker or citizen (even if they came here illegally) to collect on social security benefits only after 18 months of working. The rest of Americans have to work atleast 10 years before their allowed to collect social security benefits.

Stable Webhosting

stable webhosting companyI was intrigued to find out today that Concentric, a reputable shared hosting provider, holds the patent for Clustered Hosting architecture. This means no matter how busy your website or email server gets, no matter how much traffic you get, Concentric's servers will never be unable to handle it. This is because if one server is too busy to handle the task another server will simply do that task for it. This is all managed with Concentric's patented Clustered Hosting architecture. It's really no wonder why Concentric has such a good reputation with large-scale businesses, their the only hosting company who can handle their vast amounts of traffic with such grace.

Eminem "Lose Yourself" NWO Reference

2008-04-25

Not many people pick up on all the political lyrics in Eminems music, but I do. In the music video Lose Yourself, he made a reference to the NWO. The NWO (New World Order) is basically a movement for people who are for a one world government. Bill Clinton and even George Bush have both made references to the NWO. Not many people even know what the NWO is. Historians view it as the Nazi movement for a New World Order under the master race. You decide what it is, but by the way, below is the video to Lose Yourself by Eminem.

Identity Theft Protection Jobs

2008-04-21

LifeLockWorking in the identity theft protection industry is an experience many feel is quite rewarding. People value your service and its hard to express how much graditude some one has when you protect them from identity theft fraudsters. You would be happy you had identity theft protection if your identity got stolen too!

Right now there is a huge demand for people who want to work for a identity theft protection service called Lifelock. You can go to their site to view all the different lifelock jobs. They need people like crazy because of all the growth they been experiencing. I did some research into exactly what kind of growth their going through for you all by reading their 2008 press releases. Besides all the advertising they been doing, which obviously converts into more sales, their is another major factor that is contributing to their high demand for new employees. Lifelock has just recently partnered with Heartland Credit Union to provide identity theft protection to its members. Lifelock has also done the same for the AAA automobile club in New Jersey.

Eminem Believes Bush Knew About 9/11

2008-04-20

As the political person many of my readers know I am, I was quickly able to put the pieces together the very first time I saw this video. Years later though, people who've seen the video and even fans still haven't put the pieces together in what they see in the music video below and what Eminem is saying.

For instance, many times in the video you'll see an article that says Bush knew about 9/11. You can see it in frame 00:23, 00:25-00:28, and many many other frames. In frame 00:29 Eminem expresses his anti-war stance with an article titled "Sick Wounded Troops Held in Squalor". In frame 00:32 Eminem expresses his disgust of the Patriot Act by calling it the Death Act. Also, again in frame 00:34 Eminem expresses his anti-war stance. I could go on and on but there's another point I want to make.

Eminem believes in the New World Order (NWO). You can see for yourself in frame 00:43 where he outlines a popularly believed Illuminati/Masonic symbol, the pyramid around the eye of horus. The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol that symbolizes royal power from deities. The pyramid represents a heirarchy, where the elite are at the top and the undesirables or slaves are at the bottom.
