Still on the fence? Here is more food for thought:
If you own 500 ounces of silver, let's say about $50,000. (500 x $100 = $50,000.)
With volatility up or down 15%, do I care?
Upside possible price would be $50,000 x 1.15 or $57,500.
Downside possible price would be $50,000 x .85 or $42,500.
This is all really about 3rd party counter risk, expected volatility, and a crisis of confidence.
But regardless of your “GO” or “NO GO” decision, these facts still remain:
- The cost to carry $5.1 Trillion in school district bond fraud is $28 Billion per month across the U.S. not amortized, meaning there is no paydown of principal.
- Taxpaying population is 144,000,000.
- This means the cost per taxpayer, per month, is $194.44… to pay for bonds that are literally not worth toilet paper, meaning the bonds have negative value to the taxpayers because the principle is increasing not decreasing, which means the liability is increasing and the Median Household Income does not exist to pay off or out on the bonds.
Why listen to the news, when quantifying your position is much stronger than the noise and intent to mislead of the press?
Expected Move is based on Volatility.
Following up on article “socialism is a Noun” I kept thinking about psychology of socialism & proof not just in fact that it was a con from inception, but proof of why it self-terminates when it runs out of other people’s money to steal. Let's review a Bisnow article about proposed bond funding in Ft. Worth Texas.
There are many factors to consider with silver, gold, platinum (commodities). The Federal Reserve with no accountability & no oversight has been printing money, not backed by assets, to support the banks & cover the bond debt, i.e. cover compound cumulative fraud upon compound cumulative fraud. So, who owns the bank?!
This article links to others and digs deeper to show why socialism is the antithesis of capitalism & the U.S. Constitution and why socialism should be codified as illegal...

The 2 largest purveyors of fraud in the U.S. are the Federal Reserve & the School Districts which own the CADs and this is the Civil Rights issue of our generation.

Every Citizen should be greatly bothered by any political party, official, or judge refusing to adhere to Constitutional law, as in the end, all citizens regardless of party affiliation end up paying for the fraud created. Socialism, a means to perpetrate/perpetuate fraud, should be codified illegal. Protect yourself.
There's a direct correlation to property tax fraud, silver scam, & printing of money via U.S. Treasury & Federal Reserve. The nexus is the creation of false value being fraudulent property valuation from which to steal tax revenue, fraudulent paper chasing paper from which there is no physical to back up the paper...
Auditing serves as a critical function, providing credibility to financial information & enhancing accountability of governmental entities. If your school district & appraisal district are participating in a criminal conspiracy to defraud, you have a civic duty to expose them because it is your money they are stealing.

Your equity is being stripped while you sleep. CADs, School Districts, State Comptroller, Attorney General, Governor, Legislators all collude in promoting propaganda with taxpayer funds to make you to believe “it is for the children” & that there's nothing you can do about it, all while they commit crimes against you.

This is one more article in a series, that builds upon each other and allows my thought process to become more direct with the goal of helping distill the issues in byte size elements of understanding of both the macro and micro picture of debt and taxes mandated to support that debt.
It is through the writings of Thomas Paine to the Founding Fathers both individually and jointly, that form the basis from which the U.S. Constitution was derived and signed on March 4, 1789.

In the summation on the analysis on over 100 pages of information and articles on the Federal Reserve, combined with the current state of the U.S. economy and its citizens financial well-being, I have compiled a list of over 50 reasons why the Federal Reserve should be shut down:
Property Tax is illegal when there are no longer any enforced laws protecting rights of real estate taxpaying Citizens, when equity is stripped by compound cumulative over-taxation, when CADs & taxing entities' budgets & debts determine values on which to tax, when property tax system has become irretrievably corrupt..
I'd like to share the article "Who Owns the U.S. Debt?" found on visualcapitalist.com by Bruno Vendetti and expand on the topic to include a discussion on Modern Monetary Theory.
Following the last article that I wrote on Homestead and Circuit Breakers now comes more proof of fraud on a mass scale. I asked in one of the videos a very specific question to Mr. Don Spencer, the Chief Appraiser in the Denton County Central Appraisal District. Knowing, based on irrefutable evidence as found at www.mockingbirdproperties.com/dcad, that the real estate tax laws are being violated not just in Texas but in any County or Province that claims to use Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the question was, Mr. Spencer, what is to stop you from raising the real estate tax to infinity in 2025? The answer, by virtue of violating USPAP, is nothing. (See our violations reviewed pdf document.)
Circuit Breaker Limitation and Residence Homestead are examples of illegal regulations written by the Texas Legislature and exist both in temporary status with expiration dates and subject to amendment, to cover the fraud created by the Central Appraisal Districts on behalf of their owner the Taxing Entities.
My career was built on thought, as a result of thorough analysis with numbers at the forefront. Although it sounds tough, yet often stated by me, is that I don’t give a damn what someone has to say, but very much I care what can be proven. People / Media talk, yet the majority of the time, have nothing to say which in itself becomes divisive. Knowledge vs Ignorance. Repetition of ignorance is ignorance raised to the power two.
In reviewing the multitude of issues that we discovered or encountered with property tax appraisals and the protest/appeal value process in the Denton Central Appraisal District, one cannot help but stop and say, how is this sustainable? Can property owners in other appraisal districts across Texas, or across the U.S., survive this equity stripping attack?
