For those of you wondering why we are writing articles less frequently, as of about a month ago, we have decided to provide the majority of our commentary via Daily Videos about Gold & Silver and How to Survive Financial Armageddon on our media page at http://www.smartknowledgeu.com/media.php [5]
With the launch of our new daily video commentary about a month ago, we have attempted to provide commentary within the framework of sports and pop culture on occasion to make our videos a little more interesting and to avoid the pedantic, dry commentary often associated with the world of finance and money. Previous video titles that we have already released include “NFL, NBA & Banks: Who Has the Power?”. “The Giant Vampire Squid V. the Tapeworm,” “Why ESPN Hires Morons & Why This Matters”, “Things That Make You Go Hmmm,” and “Financial Zombies & Vampires.” Our daily videos that address more traditional topics include “Global Politics = Moneyed Interests”, “Window Dressing: How Portfolio Managers Lie”, “How to Interpret Gold & Silver Volatility” and today’s topic about how perception control can prevent the understanding of truth, titled, “Think You’re Eating Kobe Beef? Guess Again?”
Future topics I’ll discuss include samurai legend Miyamoto Musashi [6]and how martial arts strategies translate into defeating the bankers (by the way, I highly recommend the epic film 13 Assassins [7], directed by Takashi Miike), and Reuters photojournalist Dan Eldon [8], who tragically died way too young at age 23, but not before living a very full and remarkable life. We post the Daily SmartKnowledgeU Gold & Silver videos on our website first here [5], and then on our SmartKnowledgeU YouTube channel [9] about a week later. Please feel free to leave comments on our YouTube channel regarding what topics you would like us to address in the future and we’ll take all comments into consideration when making future videos. As we are making 4-5 videos a week, time permitting, we will have plenty of leeway to discuss all kinds of topics in the future!
Finally, we’ll be making a follow up video to our October 4th video entitled “How Going Long Gold & Silver Can Still Be Bad Advice” in which I discussed why I believed that many of the articles written by the commercial investment industry that are pro-gold and silver still have Machiavellian ulterior motives to them. Though they are seemingly written for our benefit, if one examines the peculiar timing of the banking industry’s pro-gold and silver articles, one might discover a repeated pattern that might indicate a more sinister “bait & switch” motive, but more on that topic in a few days! So what's our goal with the SmartKnowledgeU Daily Gold & Silver Vlog? German philosopher Schopenhauer once stated that "all truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." Unfortunately, once the truth about this global monetary and banking fiasco becomes "self-evident", we will have passed beyond the point of no return and it will be too late for people to protect themselves. It is our goal, through this vlog, to present the truth about the global financial world, even though it may be ridiculed and violently opposed, so that all citizens of the world will at least have the knowledge to protect themselves if they so desire.
Hopefully, many of you will find our videos to be of value, interesting, and thought-provoking, and most importantly, truth-revealing in a deceptive, opaque global financial world. For best results, please view our daily gold & silver videos [5]while using either the Firefox or Safari browsers.
