As the unproductive class in Davos last week examined each other’s undercarriage and tried to find the recipe for “rebuilding trust” and locating the truth…

We here think that it’s much easier than our “leaders” make it out to be.

There are a few steps that it takes to figure out exactly how to get closer to the truth, and it starts with being honest in the first place.

And maybe an understanding that there are, in fact, evil people in the world in positions of authority.

I (as I am sure many of you reading this) have been called “crazy” and “extreme” over the years by friends and family. I have heard it all.

But in the last few years (not so ironically, since 2020) I have had many of those same people come back to me and admit that they believe me now and couldn’t fathom there were evil people in positions of power.

The story I tell everyone is that when I was a kid I played monopoly and I loved to be the banker. I would steal extra cash every time a transaction happened. Sounds like real life banks, right?

I used to cheat every time I could and I was a kid! I had nothing to play for other than wanting to win. You don’t think sinners with all the fame, power, and fortune in the world at stake aren’t doing anything at all to sleight you?

If not, then I have some beach front property in Nebraska to sell you.

I don’t need ALL the info and facts to know exactly what is happening, I just need to be directionally correct.

Like the late Charlie Munger would say, "show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcome."

👉 If there are weaknesses in the voting system, they will be exploited.

👉 If there is cash to be laundered in an opaque monetary system, it will be laundered.

👉 If there are positions or people of power that are blackmail-able, there will be people getting blackmailed.

BBB = Bullshit, bribery, blackmail.

This is the political playbook according to my wife’s Italian zio. He isn’t wrong. In fact, he is spot on.

Bullsh*t your way in to power.

If that doesn't work, then you can bribe your way in.

Last resort if all else fails, is to blackmail your roadblock in to submission.

When we put our "collectivist glasses" on, then everything the government/global entities do start to come in to focus and make sense.

The question isn’t red versus blue, it is the state versus you.

And the government can only do this by controlling the issuance of currency.

Hence why #bitcoiners say, “fix the money, fix the world.” And "#Bitcoin  fixes this."

So what can we do in the meantime to cut though the garbage of media, academia, and politics while we are patiently fixing the money?

1) Read past titles and headlines
2) Triangulate position reading many different competing sources
3) Pick up on patterns
4) Determine who has made correct calls in the past
5) Follow the money and who is behind what you are reading. Who do they answer to?
6) Remove emotion, think logically and critically
7) Try to poke holes in what is presented

Why does this matter Brandon? Why spend time worrying about who gets voted in, who controls the money, who makes the rules?

You entire life, fortune, family, and freedom hang in that balance.
