The Best Advice I Will Ever Give You

Hate is cancerous and spreads like wildfire. Be careful about planting seeds of dissent, hatred, and disbelief in others, for you might regret it later on. It’s fun to talk about conspiracy theories and faux lunar landings; but there are some of you out there who become obsessed with such things and it stifles productivity. I am talking about Federal Reserve, gold bug, Illuminati, New World Order, Bilderberg Group, World Bank, Zionist conspiracy theorist lunatics.

When you dive into that wormhole of dissent, disbelief, you will see everything through a different prism. Some of you believe these “truths” need to be exposed. I contest that if exposing said truths doesn’t have a material positive affect on your lives, you’re better off doing something else.

Believe in people. Believe that there is good to offset the treachery around you. There is a whole world of innovation, competence, creativity and compassion out there. Choose to focus on that, instead of the stuff that will drive you to store gold bars and fucking dried food in your nuclear bomb shelter.

Don’t waste time.

    Does “The Fly” own no gold bullion as a hedge? All proper villains need an OSC and some gold bullion.

    Being vastly underemployed, it would improve my life if the masses rose up against the powers that be who disseminate conspiracy facts such as commodity manipulation and currency debasement which keep them rich. That being said, finding something that makes you happy renders all conspiracy theories moot. Also, there is a difference between people who want to expose the financial house of cards and those who think their lives would be vindicated if aliens are proven to exist.

    Brilliant advice, Le Fly. Some people have totally forgotten how to be constructive.

    Unfortunately, fear sells like hotcakes. That’s because it is in our biological nature to pay close attention to threatening situations, so that we can protect ourselves and our loved ones from them. But people use fear to sell their goods or services, or to get attention for their punditry. And those people often just make up imaginary threats to use as a marketing device for themselves.

    I can’t tell if you are being serious in this post Señor Tropicana?

    The following excerpt even appears to be a tacit admission that the underlying fundamentals are indeud concerning, but that you would suggest ignoring them since fundamentals haven’t paid well over the past few years (a valid point).

    “Some of you believe these “truths” need to be exposed. I contest that if exposing said truths doesn’t have a material positive affect on your lives, you’re better off doing something else”

    FWIW I’m one of the crazy guys that thinks PM miners are undervalued so take my ramblings with a major grain of salt.

    I think many struggle with this dilemma, whether or not to let oneself be burdened by a higher intellect or dogma.. My mamma once said, “better to live a life blinded from the truth, as you’re here such a short time .” I think she is wise and most certainly correct. Cherish the time with your loved ones. 🙂

    Speaking of dissent and disbelief, Fly, do you think Edward Snowden is a hero or criminal? Are you religious, i.e. do you belong to a particular faith?

      Snowden wasted his own life, for what? We already knew that shit.

      I grew up Roman Catholic, waffled later on and explored other religions, which later turned to me being agnostic and now a non-practicing atheist.

        He raised international awareness, he stood for something, at the risk of his own safety. Did MLK or Gandhi, or Mandela waste their lives?

        I’m an agnostic myself, one short of going full atheist, after all, we can’t prove all those Gods don’t exist. And what’s a non-practicing atheist?

          I knew Mandela and Snowden was no Mandela.

          I think you are really stretching this guy’s bonafides by comparing him to civil right’s leaders. He’s just a fuckhead nerd narcing on the Feds, living in Russia.

            I heard this quote the other day: “Atheists don’t believe in God, but God doesn’t believe in atheists.” That clicked with me. Basically what that person meant was that God knows the heart of the atheist and that even if somebody outwardly denies they believe in God, there is still the sense that you hear about in Romans—that God has revealed Himself in creation and through our conscience. As human beings we know there’s something more.

            It doesn’t matter if you believe in God or are an atheist. Just so long as you don’t consider yourself God.

            “The word GOD, from time immemorial, has been used as a designation for human beings who, because of their spiritual and consciousness-based powers and their abilities resulting from them, were able to master and accomplish things which remained denied to kings and emperors.

            Because of their abilities, these human beings were consequently named GODS or GODDESSES, which means nothing other than ‘standing above the emperors and kings’ (spiritually and in a consciousness-based manner).

            Standing higher in esteem and honour than the princes of the land and the sovereigns themselves, those named gods were asked for advice by these and by the people alike and were revered as human beings with tremendous knowledge and spiritual, as well as consciousness-based ability…..

            …..However, it would be false, presumptuous and irresponsible to name this Creation GOD because the Creation is neither God nor anything similar…. “

          “…No Creator-God exists in this sense. The Big Bang did not come about through the strength or might of one god, but did so, simply and exclusively, through spiritual- and material-physical as well as chemical processes, that were triggered and directed by a young Universal Consciousness, respectively Creation. The term “God” has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the creation of the world or the universe, stars, galaxies and the like, for the expression “God” has existed in the vastness of the universe for billions of years, from ancient times to the present, and it represents nothing more than the title of a person. Initially this title was “Ishwish” which means “God” when translated into our languages. But Ishwish, respectively god, is nothing more than another term for “King of Wisdom.” It is a purely human title assigned to humans who were particularly knowledgeable, wise, and who possessed great mastery in everything. This term’s significance, however, was distorted and falsified by humans on Earth, particularly by the early religions and those experienced in profiting from using the word. The result was that God, as a King of Wisdom, was removed and the people turned him into a Creator-God who, allegedly, had created the Earth, the sun and outer space. Numerous individuals, such as Jehovah and many others, even claimed of themselves to be Creator-Gods with the consequence that they were also revered and worshiped. One thing led to another and soon the original meaning of the word “God” was forgotten and, consequently, the purported Creator-Gods were able to victoriously march into the realm of the people’s religions, sects and faiths. “

            No, God has not left His name etched onto the surface of planets. However, there is abundant evidence that the universe was designed by super intelligent Agent, who purposed that the universe should exist and be capable of supporting advanced life. The design of the universe is just one line of evidence that tells us that God is real and created the universe. The design of the earth and solar system is also quite impressive.

      In other words, fuck that ‘what are we doing here in this universe, what is moral & immoral, why are we here’ shit, how do I make $$$???’

    There’s value in these theories. As investors, we want to predict the future. This subject matter gives us a different side of the spectrum we would otherwise ignore due to discomfort and disbelief. This ignorance could correlate to a lack of awareness and therefore, missed opportunities

    With that said, Optimism is the only realism

    This sounds like the writing of a younger man, so quick to hope that the future is better.

    America is buckling under the scourge of political correctness and multiculturalism. Furthermore, political correctness and inexpensive, lower intelligence voters are the primary objective of the dominant political group in the USA and as such will not decrease via conventional political means.

    With regards to Snowden, it is key to grasp the severity of the fact that he waited *years* before going public. He kept waiting for someone else to step up and blow the whistle on the many heinous intrusions by the state on the populace here and abroad. No one did.

    You see Senor, your societal belief system absolutely depends on the centuries old notion that Liberalism is the cure for mankind’s ills.

    You’ll awaken from the mainstream delusion soon enough… Britons and Italians are among the most intelligent ethnicity of the European subspecies.
