BREAKING NEWS: Federal Court of Appeals to Review Important Gun Rights Decision
Monday, February 29, 2016
The American people deserve to know what our government has done, what's coming next, and what you must do to protect yourself and your family from the disaster our government has created.Porter Stansberry Founder, Stansberry Research
A Multi-Millionaire's Personal Blueprint For Surviving the Coming
Currency Collapse:
Currency Collapse:
"This is what I'm doing to protect my family and my finances - I recommend you do the same."
Dear Fellow American,
Do you believe America's financial problems from 2008 have been fixed?
Do you think we are on the brink of another banking crisis, or a problem with our currency?
If you are concerned about these possibilities, you are not alone.
We are now facing serious economic problems in the United States.
And it's about to get much, much worse.
The evidence is piling up all around us...
In recent months, we've seen nearly $8 trillion disappear from world stock markets... and a whopping 70% of investors lose money in 2015.
Even the great Warren Buffett lost $11 billion dollars.
We're looking at a collapse in corporate bonds.. and plummeting oil and commodity prices.
Research shows the "too big to fail" banks, the top five largest financial institutions (the ones that were bailed out in 2008), are now 25% bigger than they were back then, and more dangerous than ever.
We've seen private businesses take on more debt than any time in the past 12 years, and an incredible 863 companies that have had their credit rating downgraded last year... the most since 2009.
I mean... even Wal-Mart announced the shutdown of more than 250 stores, worldwide.
This is what happens when our government embarks on a gross, out-of-control experiment, expanding the money supply 400% in just six years, and more than doubling our national debt since 2006.
It took our nation 216 years to rack up the first $8.5 trillion in debt... then just 8 more years to double that amount.
As someone who has been investigating this situation closely for years, who has built a $100 million business by capitalizing on expertise in finance and accounting... I am here to tell you with 100% certainty:
A "new" crisis of epic proportions is already underway.
Stocks will fall further. Bonds are going to collapse. Huge numbers of bankruptcies in the energy business may soon ripple through the financial system.
And eventually, we're going to have a major stock market crash -- and it will be worse than the one we experienced seven years ago.
We're going to have a currency crisis too - because investors and governments around the world will realize the U.S. dollar is not the safe haven it once was.
Sooner than most people think, we'll see the U.S. dollar lose it's "reserve currency" status, and this will make it much harder for our government to borrow money, and have our military stationed in more than 150 countries.

As someone who has been investigating this situation closely for years, who has built a $100 million business by capitalizing on expertise in finance and accounting... I am here to tell you with 100% certainty:
America is in for some major changes to our economy, our country, and our very way of life over the next five years.
The way you live, work, travel, retire, invest... everything is going
to change. Some of it in ways most people would never expect.A "new" crisis of epic proportions is already underway.
Stocks will fall further. Bonds are going to collapse. Huge numbers of bankruptcies in the energy business may soon ripple through the financial system.
And eventually, we're going to have a major stock market crash -- and it will be worse than the one we experienced seven years ago.
We're going to have a currency crisis too - because investors and governments around the world will realize the U.S. dollar is not the safe haven it once was.
Sooner than most people think, we'll see the U.S. dollar lose it's "reserve currency" status, and this will make it much harder for our government to borrow money, and have our military stationed in more than 150 countries.
As my friend James Rickards (who's a financial lawyer and consultant for the
U.S. government) wrote in his book Currency Wars:
U.S. government) wrote in his book Currency Wars:
"If
the currency collapses, everything else goes with it... stocks, bonds,
commodities, derivatives and other investments are all priced in a
nation's currency. If you destroy the currency, you destroy all markets
and the nation."
We're going to have massive changes to our retirement system and
Social Security. We're likely to see huge tax increases and even a
"wealth tax," which levies a fee on all your savings and any assets of
value.
We're going to see all kinds of new laws and rules about what you can do with your money, just like House of Representatives bill H.R. 2847, which went into effect July 1, 2014.
This law made it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the average American to get some of his money out of U.S. dollars, and into more stable currencies via foreign banks. In the months and years to come we're going to see more and more of these "capital controls" placed on our personal savings... We're going to have a massive inflation -- when the trillions and trillions of newly printed dollars begin making their way into the economy.
We'll also witness major changes to the very fabric of our society. Destroying a nations' money in this manner wrecks businesses, friendships, and families, who simply don't understand and aren't prepared for what will happen.
Violent crime is skyrocketing in major cities. It's going to get much worse before it ever gets better. Please learn how to protect yourself and your family.
Believe me, I don't take these predictions lightly -- and I have no interest in trying to scare you.
I did the same when I dug into the finances of GM and realized this once great American institution would soon go bankrupt as well. I did the same General Growth Properties (the biggest owner of mall property in America).
When I first presented my case and exposed the facts about these institutions at economic conferences, people got angry.
They couldn't refute my research... but they weren't ready to accept the enormity of the conclusions either.
And now, the same financial problems I've been tracking from bank to bank... and from company to company for the last decade have found their way into the U.S. Treasury.
The next phase of this crisis will threaten our very way of life.
The savings of millions will be wiped out. This disaster will change your business and your work. It will dramatically affect your savings accounts, investments, and retirement.
It will change everything about your normal way of life: Where you vacation... where you send your kids or grandkids to school... how and where you shop... the way you protect your family and home.
Look...
I know many people see the recovered stock market, the rebound in real estate prices, and want to believe everything is "back to normal."
But I promise you, nothing is "normal" about what is happening in America today. It is all smoke and mirrors -- the result of an out-of-control government experiment with our money supply.
After all, how can it be "normal" when...
It shows that what has taken place over the past few years with the
U.S. dollar is something straight out of Weimar Germany... or the last
20 years in Zimbabwe.
Like I said, there are clear signs that the next big crisis has already started. What's going on today certainly isn't "normal."
And it's guaranteed to end in a disaster for millions of Americans who don't know how to protect themselves.
This is why I recently put together a 300-page Blueprint, detailing the exact steps I'm taking to prepare for this inevitable crisis. I strongly encourage you to take these simple steps too.

Believe me, I don't take these predictions lightly -- and I have no interest in trying to scare you.
I'm simply following my research to its logical conclusion.
I did the same thing when I was one of the first analysts to
accurately predict the collapse of the world's largest mortgage bankers
-- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.I did the same when I dug into the finances of GM and realized this once great American institution would soon go bankrupt as well. I did the same General Growth Properties (the biggest owner of mall property in America).

But I promise you, nothing is "normal" about what is happening in America today. It is all smoke and mirrors -- the result of an out-of-control government experiment with our money supply.
After all, how can it be "normal" when...
Roughly 75% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, with essentially zero savings, according to a recent study by Bankrate.
The "labor force participation rate" (basically the
percentage of able-bodied people who are actually working) has fallen
every year since 2007 and at the end of 2015 was at its lowest level
since the 1970s. (Source: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
How can things really be "normal" in America, when the number of people on food stamps has basically doubled since Barack Obama took office...
and when HALF of all children born today will be on food stamps at some
point in their life? Yes, you read that correctly: Roughly 50% of all
children born in America today will be on food stamps at some point in
their lifetime. Does that sound "normal" to you?
Can our country really be back to "normal" when, according to the most recent numbers from the Census Bureau, an incredible 49% of Americans are receiving benefits from at least one government program EVERY SINGLE month?
Or when 52% of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year?
Can things really be "normal" in America when at one
point, a single U.S. government-controlled agency (the Federal Reserve)
was purchasing up to 70% of the bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury -
simply by creating money out of thin air?
Or when the "too-big-to-fail-banks" that got bailed out in 2007 are actually 25% larger than they were back then?
And how can things be normal when our country's money supply has increased by 400% since 2006 -- all just printed out of thin air. Look at this chart below... it should scare the heck out of you...
And it's guaranteed to end in a disaster for millions of Americans who don't know how to protect themselves.
This is why I recently put together a 300-page Blueprint, detailing the exact steps I'm taking to prepare for this inevitable crisis. I strongly encourage you to take these simple steps too.
Get a Discounted Copy of My New Book
My new work is called: America 2020 -- The Survival Blueprint.
This is a handbook, a blueprint, and an owner's manual for how to protect yourself and your family over the next five years.
When I showed this new book to 22-year
Congressman and 3-time Presidential Candiate, Dr. Ron Paul, in
Washington D.C., he liked it so much, he wrote the Foreword, part of
which reads:
"This book is a must read. I don't know of anyone who has spent as much time and money as Porter Stansberry, figuring out how to protect yourself and prosper in the years to come?"
"This book is a must read. I don't know of anyone who has spent as much time and money as Porter Stansberry, figuring out how to protect yourself and prosper in the years to come?"
One thing you need to keep in mind is...
I'm so concerned, I'm doing something I've never done before...
I'm giving away my 300-page Blueprint at a HUGE DISCOUNT to any U.S. resident with a domestic postal address.
Keep in mind: This book is not for sale ANYWHERE ELSE.
The only other way to get your hands on it is in the second-hand market.
As I write this, there are a handful of copies available on eBay. One of the cheapest offers for a hardback copy I've seen is $70. The most expensive is $123. But you don't have to pay anywhere near that price. Not even close.
When you take advantage of this offer today you'll pay just $19. And that includes FREE shipping.
Why am I doing this?
Why am I giving away so much valuable information for basically what it costs us to produce, print, and ship this book?
Two reasons.
For one, it's the right thing to do.
The American people deserve to know what our government has done, what's coming next, and what you must do to protect yourself and your family from the disaster our government has created.
Many of the smartest people in the industry... like CIA and Pentagon insider Jim Rickards... hedge fund multimillionaire Jim Rogers... and superstar investor Kyle Bass (the minimum to invest with Bass is $5 million), are all taking precautions against what's now unfolding.
But now, with "The Survival Blueprint," there are easy ways for every
American to protect their family and their wealth, no matter how much
you have in the bank.
I know that the fewer people who are prepared, the worse this crisis is going to be.
The second reason I'm giving this information away so cheap is I know my Baltimore-based firm (which I started 17 years ago) does the best work in America when it comes to retirement, investing, and protecting your assets and your family.
I know that if I can help you protect yourself from the disaster that's underway, by sending you a copy of one of my firms' most important pieces of work at essentially my cost, you might become a raving fan and a loyal subscriber over the long term.
It's my favorite strategy for business and in life: Under-promise and over-deliver.
This is how I've built one of the largest independent research firms in the world, with more than 500,000 paid subscribers from 120+ countries. That's more subscriptions than many of America's most popular financial newspapers, including Barron's and Investor's Business Daily.
And I know that rather than TELLING you about our work... the best thing I can do is simply SHOW you what we do, with a great sample -- and no obligation for you to ever purchase anything from us ever again.
That's why I'm happy to send you my recently published, America 2020 -- The Survival Blueprint for just $19. And like I said, I'll pay for shipping
I have personally already taken the necessary steps to protect myself and my family from the inevitable crisis, now unfolding.
But I know literally millions of hardworking Americans have not done a thing - or have not done enough.
And that is why my America 2020 -- The Survival Blueprint is packed with literally dozens of useful ideas that will help protect you and your family.
Including:
Yes, you still have to pay taxes if you earn income on these assets or sell for a profit, but you LEGALLY DO NOT have to tell the government or anyone else in the world that you own them.
The benefit of this should be obvious...
I personally have quite a large stake in in one of these three assets. I'm not going to get into the details on what it is here, but I explain everything in my free Blueprint.
Every American needs to get some money beyond the government's reach.
The next big crisis in America is NOT going to be a "banking crisis" like we had in 2007.
It's going to be a currency crisis that's much bigger... and government bailouts aren't going to do a damn thing to help.I'm so concerned, I'm doing something I've never done before...

Rickards is publically recommending people rush to buy gold, real estate and hard assets
Rogers moved his entire family to Singapore to essentially get them out of America.
And Bass built a 41,000 square foot ranch stocked with firearms and gold.

Including:
- The three assets you (legally) do not have to report to the government (page 38)
Yes, you still have to pay taxes if you earn income on these assets or sell for a profit, but you LEGALLY DO NOT have to tell the government or anyone else in the world that you own them.
The benefit of this should be obvious...
Nothing is more dangerous than a broke, desperate, and well-armed government.
The less the government knows about where you have your money, the
better. They will simply have a very hard time taking what they don't
know you have.I personally have quite a large stake in in one of these three assets. I'm not going to get into the details on what it is here, but I explain everything in my free Blueprint.
Every American needs to get some money beyond the government's reach.
And that's only the beginning...
My Blueprint contains so much more...You'll also learn...
But the good news is, there is one asset you can own (now widely
available in America), which should help protect you and your family
from this chaos... and could also likely make you a small fortune in the
years to come.
In fact, an index tracking this asset has absolutely crushed the stock market. Since 1992, it's returned well over 1,000% gains.
Best of all, it provided these gains with almost no volatility. Just look at the chart below.
See how that black line goes straight up, without any hiccups?
Multimillionaire investor Barton Biggs, who has done exhaustive research on which types of assets survive a crisis, said this particular asset has historically "protect[ed] both your wealth and your life."
During World War II, for example, when millions of families lost their entire life savings through inflation or government seizure, this was the one asset that enabled some families to survive... and to protect, preserve, and grow their money.
That's why it's an asset so many of the richest people in the United States are buying. I'm talking about the Walton family (of Walmart fame), Bill Gates, Ted Turner, the Hilton family, Charles Schwab, Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen, the Hunt family (of Texas oil fame), the Hearst family, the Ford family, and more.
As my multi-millionaire friend Doug Casey says, it's the ONE THING you should own in the years to come.
I've personally spent an extraordinary amount of time and money over the past three years acquiring this asset in my hometown. You certainly don't have to go to the lengths I've gone... but I strongly encourage you to do what you can.
The America 2020 -- Survival Blueprint contains all the details on everything you need to know... and so much more too... including:
Look, I can't tell you exactly how bad things are going to get, or how quickly it will all happen. No one can.
I can only tell you that I'm certain they'll occur. And that our country will look very, very different in 5 years than it does today.
In just the past 100 years, for example, we've seen this scenario play out in Germany, Russia, Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Poland, the Ukraine, Japan, and China, just to name a few.
And it has a perfect track record...
The point is, you absolutely must take the necessary steps now to protect yourself and your family.
Today, we as a nation owe more money to more people than any nation in history. We owe more money than all of the European Union combined. And U.S. debt per person is more than twice as much as in the E.U.
Back in 2014, they pointed to a rising stock market... recovering real estate prices, and declining unemployment. They said, "Hey, things are back on track."
But now it's clear there has been no recovery -- and the situation is going to get much worse, before it ever gets any better.
Remember...
Nearly 70% of Americans lost money in the markets in 2015. And this year things are even worse.
The overall stock market fell more than 5% in January -- one of the worst starts to the year in stock market history.
Serious strains are emerging in almost every corner of the global credit market. Bloomberg says credit ratings downgrades are higher than they've been in 7 years.
And of course, we continued piling up more debt in fiscal year 2015... adding another $326 billion. As of February 1st of this year, we topped $19 Trillion in total national debt.
Meanwhile, our government would have you believe (without any proof whatsoever), that it can order the Federal Reserve to prevent interest rates from ever rising to a level that would cost the American people or the government anything.
And most of our politicians believe (again, without any proof whatsoever) that they can stimulate the economy by even more deficit spending, so that it grows faster, allowing tax revenues to produce a surplus.
But you know better, my friend. You must know better.
The only question is: Will you take the necessary steps to be ready?
You will if you read and take the simple steps detailed in my 300-page America 2020 -- The Survival Blueprint.
And that's why I want to send you essentially a free copy. Again: All I ask is that you pay $19 to get a hard-backed copy shipped to your home.
This $19 fee basically covers my costs to produce, print, and ship this book to your home.
The smartest moneymen in America are making preparations right now... shouldn't you?
The absolute #1 best way to get out of any jam
during the next crisis. This is a technique you absolutely must prepare
for and know how to use. This strategy was taught to me by one of the
richest and most successful men I know, and I most recently saw him put
it to use when we were traveling together in South America. This
strategy could save me or someone I love in the future. (page 95)
How to safely and legally move as much money out of
the U.S. and out of the U.S. dollar... without having to report a single
penny of it to the U.S. government. Yes, this is all completely legal
and it's a strategy used by many of my friends and colleagues. (page 44)
How one small neighborhood survived after hurricane
Katrina hit New Orleans. So many neighborhoods were destroyed and
looted. But one used a radical technique to survive pretty much
unscathed. What these folks did is extreme, and may not be right for
you, but I think you could definitely put together a version of this
strategy for your own neighborhood. The key is to know about it and
prepare in advance. (page 98)
How to get real, hold-in-your-hand silver for less
than $3. This is the absolute best way to buy silver in the world. And
it's important to remember: Silver is the ultimate currency in a real
financial crisis -- probably even better than gold. One investor I
respect says silver will ultimately reach more than $150... that's about
950% higher than today's price. (page 51)
The most valuable asset in a time of crisis. There's
no telling exactly how bad things are going to get as this crisis
unfolds in America. There could be riots, protests, mobs, bank runs,
even massive arrests, for extended periods of time. (page 83)
In fact, an index tracking this asset has absolutely crushed the stock market. Since 1992, it's returned well over 1,000% gains.

The America 2020 -- Survival Blueprint contains all the details on everything you need to know... and so much more too... including:
- The world's three safest currencies. You can buy them right here in America, without ever leaving home, and without ever opening an "offshore" account, or anything like that. (page 92)
- My favorite private gold storage facility in America. You can find one of these operations in virtually every American city and town -- and this keeps your assets out of the prying hands of banks and other financial institutions that are beholden to the government. (page 93)
- Where to go during a crisis in the United States if you don't have a rural retreat, and can't leave your state. Here's the safest place in just about every state. (page 97)
- A one-of-a-kind silver investment that could pay you 1,000%. There's one type of unique silver investment most people don't know about, which could eventually be the most profitable investment in America when the next crisis hits. This investment is truly one of a kind - there's nothing else like it in the world as far as I know. (page 55)
- A simple way to organize all of your financial documents so you always know where everything is at a moment's notice. Again, this is what I do personally. It's simple. It's easy. It's free, and takes very little time. (page 99)
- The secret paper "currency" used by the world's wealthiest people. This has nothing to do with the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Swiss franc or any other paper currency you've heard of before. It also has nothing to do with gold, silver, or any precious metals. But these certificates are among the most lucrative investments in the world, and allow you to completely separate as much money as you want from the U.S. banking and financial system. (page 93)
- How to easily open a foreign bank account in one of the safest (English speaking) places in the world. Not everyone needs or wants to do this, but if you do, we'll tell you exactly whom to get in touch with and what to say to do it as simply and easily as possible. (page 43)
- Two of the most dangerous investments for the next five years. Almost every American has one or both of these -- but probably doesn't realize the danger. (page 102)
- The absolute best types of businesses to start and the best types to own (either privately or as a public shareholder) over the next five years. This is where I have the bulk of my personal portfolio. It protects you against so many things... and gives you the opportunity to make potentially extraordinary gains. (page 104)
- The only five things you absolutely, positively must have to ensure you and your family can safely survive just about any crisis. I know... many "survival experts" list dozens and dozens of things you should stock up on. But believe me, there are basically five things you need. And with these items in hand, you'll be able to weather whatever comes your way. This is what I'm doing personally -- it's what I recommend you do too. (page 97)
Look, I can't tell you exactly how bad things are going to get, or how quickly it will all happen. No one can.
I can only tell you that I'm certain they'll occur. And that our country will look very, very different in 5 years than it does today.
Just remember: We as Americans are not immune to the basic laws of economics and finance.
Over the past 100 years, many other governments around the globe have tried to do exactly what our government is doing today...
That is: Print money in massive quantities to pay growing, insurmountable debts.In just the past 100 years, for example, we've seen this scenario play out in Germany, Russia, Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Poland, the Ukraine, Japan, and China, just to name a few.
And it has a perfect track record...
In every case, in every instance, printing and borrowing money on such levels has ALWAYS led to financial and economic crisis.
Today, that process is well underway in the United States.The point is, you absolutely must take the necessary steps now to protect yourself and your family.
Today, we as a nation owe more money to more people than any nation in history. We owe more money than all of the European Union combined. And U.S. debt per person is more than twice as much as in the E.U.
Back in 2014, they pointed to a rising stock market... recovering real estate prices, and declining unemployment. They said, "Hey, things are back on track."
But now it's clear there has been no recovery -- and the situation is going to get much worse, before it ever gets any better.
Remember...
Nearly 70% of Americans lost money in the markets in 2015. And this year things are even worse.
The overall stock market fell more than 5% in January -- one of the worst starts to the year in stock market history.
Serious strains are emerging in almost every corner of the global credit market. Bloomberg says credit ratings downgrades are higher than they've been in 7 years.
And of course, we continued piling up more debt in fiscal year 2015... adding another $326 billion. As of February 1st of this year, we topped $19 Trillion in total national debt.
Meanwhile, our government would have you believe (without any proof whatsoever), that it can order the Federal Reserve to prevent interest rates from ever rising to a level that would cost the American people or the government anything.
And most of our politicians believe (again, without any proof whatsoever) that they can stimulate the economy by even more deficit spending, so that it grows faster, allowing tax revenues to produce a surplus.
But you know better, my friend. You must know better.
The only question is: Will you take the necessary steps to be ready?
You will if you read and take the simple steps detailed in my 300-page America 2020 -- The Survival Blueprint.
And that's why I want to send you essentially a free copy. Again: All I ask is that you pay $19 to get a hard-backed copy shipped to your home.
This $19 fee basically covers my costs to produce, print, and ship this book to your home.
The smartest moneymen in America are making preparations right now... shouldn't you?
I'm talking about people like Bill Gross, who probably knows as much
about currencies and debt as anyone in the world. For years he ran the
world's biggest bond fund. He was quoted by Bloomberg, saying:
"We've told all of our clients that if you only had
one idea, one investment, it would be to buy an investment in a
non-dollar currency. That should be on top of the list."
And Jim Rogers, one of the world's most successful multi-millionaire investors, who is saying something similar:
"I believe the dollar could lose its status as the
world's reserve currency and medium of exchange, something that would
lead to a huge decline in the standard of living for U.S. citizens like
nothing we've seen in nearly a century."
Even Warren Buffett, the world's most renowned investor with a net
worth of $59 billion, has reduced his company's bond holdings to their
lowest levels in more than a decade, according to Bloomberg News.
What Bloomberg didn't mention is that Buffett also moved almost 70% of his remaining government fixed-income investments into foreign currencies.
Then, in recent years, Buffett spent a fortune on a business that will probably see sales quadruple when a big crisis hits. This business produces one of the most important things everyone needs to keep your family safe in just about any type of crisis.
Now... I know... the ideas and solutions I'm encouraging you to take might seem somewhat radical to you at first... perhaps even "un-American."
But the truth is, I'm recommending these steps because I love this country, and I want to see as many people as possible emerge from the mess our government has put us in.
Believe me, the fewer people who have to rely on the government for help, the better off we'll all be.
Again: This is what I'm doing personally... for myself and my family. And it's exactly what you should do too

And there's more, too...
When I send you your copy of America 2020 -- The Survival Blueprint,
there are three other Research Reports I've been working on that I want
to give you immediate access to as well, all totally free of charge.
They are...
It explains an interesting way just about anyone in America can make up to 500% gains, tax-free, in the years to come... without touching stocks, bonds, or precious metals.
Several of my colleagues and I have moved huge portions of our personal investment portfolios into this unique opportunity.
My business partner Dr. Steve Sjuggerud calls it, "The last great tax shelter in America." And we show you a simple formula that allows you to judge the quality of these investments very quickly. Again, this is totally separate from the stock and bond market, and allows you to get a large chunk of your money out of the financial system.
That's why we created this 152-page Manual. It reveals dozens of secrets about the gold industry... specifically the best ways to buy, sell, and store your gold. It explains why some gold coins are better than others. How to buy gold with ZERO dealer markup. How to easily and safely store some of your gold overseas, very cheaply... where to hide it... the best ways to buy gold and to have it stored in a secure location in the United States or overseas... and more.
I will be surprised if gold does not reach $5,000 an ounce or $6,000 an ounce in the next few years. Currency expert Jim Rickards says it could reach $7,000 per ounce.
You don't have to buy a single stock to begin using this strategy... and it has nothing to do with "shorting." Learning this technique can be a game-changer. In fact, you might never want to buy stocks the "ordinary" way ever again.
One of our readers named Tommy H. described the impact of learning this secret. He said: "This has saved my portfolio."
In short, we'll show you a way to extract gains of 100% potentially without ever owning a single stock. As Pulitzer Prize winning author James Stewart said: "[These payouts] are so rich I consulted a colleague to make sure they were real."
Like I said, all three (3) of these Research Reports are totally FREE of charge.
I'll also give you a free 30-day trial subscription to my monthly research report, called Stansberry's Investment Advisory.
In my monthly research report, I will regularly update you on the
currency situation, the unintended consequences of the Fed's money
printing, and best ways to grow and protect your money over the next few
years.
My Investment Advisory Service, which you'll receive on the first Friday of every month, is the perfect way to stay up-to-date on the currency crisis taking place in America right now.
You'll pay just $19 to get all of this Research delivered to your doorstep.
I can't imagine there's a better deal anywhere in the financial world.
If you like our work, great -- I hope you'll want to keep reading our research and insights in the future. We'll bill your card a refundable $99 for a full 1-year subscription after your 30-day free trial is over.
This is a fast-moving situation... with lots of moving parts. I have six very smart analysts working with me to stay up to date, in my Investment Advisory every month. One is a certified public accountant... another is an expert on science and technology... another is a former money manager... another is lawyer with expertise on various types of debt.
I think you'd benefit substantially from receiving our work over the next few years... but like I said, if it's not for you, no problem.
By paying just $19 today, you'll at least have the information you need to protect yourself from the disaster taking place in our country. Plus, you'll receive access to a bundle of bonus Research Reports and a free thirty-day trial subscription to my monthly research report, Stansberry's Investment Advisory. And you are under no obligation whatsoever to buy anything else from me or my firm in the future.
It's also important to keep in mind that: All of the steps I am recommending you take to protect yourself are simple, cheap, and easy... at least for now.
But that will change very quickly as events unfold.
I know, most people reading this will do nothing. They'll say to themselves: "I'll deal with that when the time comes."
Many of my friends, colleagues, and family members are still in serious denial about a major currency crisis in the United States. But this is natural...
In the world of psychology, they call this the "normalcy bias."
You see, the normalcy bias actually refers to our natural reactions when facing a crisis.
It causes smart people to underestimate the possibility of a disaster and its effects. People believe that because something has never happened before... it never will. We are all guilty of it... it's just human nature.
What's scary is the normalcy bias often results in making disastrous situations much worse than they would otherwise be. For example, think about the Jewish populations of World War II...
They are...
Research Report #1: The Tax-Free Way to Make 500% in America Today

Research Report #2: The Gold Investor's Manual
Most people know gold is a good investment to protect against what could happen in a crisis, but most people don't have a clue about the best way to buy or store it.That's why we created this 152-page Manual. It reveals dozens of secrets about the gold industry... specifically the best ways to buy, sell, and store your gold. It explains why some gold coins are better than others.

Research Report #3: The 100% Secret
If you want the opportunity to make a lot of money during the coming crisis, one sure way to do it is to learn the intricacies of an unusual investment strategy we have been teaching our readers to use for several years.You don't have to buy a single stock to begin using this strategy... and it has nothing to do with "shorting."

What's scary is the normalcy bias often results in making disastrous situations much worse than they would otherwise be. For example, think about the Jewish populations of World War II...
As Barton Biggs reported in his definitive book, Wealth, War, and Wisdom:
"By the end of 1935, 100,000 Jews had left Germany,
but 450,000 still [remained]. Wealthy Jewish families... kept thinking
and hoping that the worst was over..."
As Biggs said:
People
"almost always are too complacent, because they cherish the illusion
that when things start to go bad, they will have time to extricate
themselves... It never works that way. Events move much faster than
anyone expects... History usually doesn't evolve in a slow and orderly
way; often it leaps forward in disorderly, chaotic jumps."
This point is: Take these simple steps now, while it's all safe,
cheap, easy, and 100% legal. Don't wait. If you do, it's very likely the
situation will change so fast, it will be impossible for you to
prepare.

Mark Zuckerberg Censors Employees from Saying 'All Lives Matter'
Mark Zuckerberg Censors Employees from Saying 'All Lives Matter'
We know how pro-censorship Mark Zuckerberg is when it comes to Facebook (see Mark Zuckerberg Caught on Mic Saying Facebook will Delete Negative German Govt. Posts and Facebook Has Officially Begun Censoring Germany...).
Now
apparently he's also pro-censorship when it comes to own Facebook
employees. Saying "all lives matter" instead of "black lives matter"? That's no Bueno.
"There have been several recent instances of people crossing out 'black lives matter' and writing 'all lives matter' on the walls at MPK.Despite my clear communication at Q&A last week that this was unacceptable, and messages from several other leaders from across the company, this has happened again. I was already very disappointed by this disrespectful behavior before, but after my communication I now consider this malicious as well.There are specific issues affecting the black community in the United States, coming from a history of oppression and racism. 'Black lives matter' doesn't mean other lives don't -- it's simply asking that the black community also achieves the justice they deserve.We've never had rules around what people can write on our walls -- we expect everybody to treat each other with respect. Regardless of the content or location, crossing out something means silencing speech, or that one person's speech is more important than another's. Facebook should be a service and a community where everyone is treated with respect.This has been a deeply hurtful and tiresome experience for the black community and really the entire Facebook community, and we are now investigating the current incidents.I hope and encourage people to participate in the Black@ town hall on 3/4 to educate themselves about what the Black Lives Matter movement is about."
Here's
the thing, Markster,
either it's free speech and people can cross out someone else's free
speech (then someone can cross THAT out with their free speech) or it's a
chaperoned field trip to a petting zoo where you, Daddy Warbucks, tell
which side has more legitimacy than the other. Which, I should point
out, is your free speech right... but you're kind of abusing it as The
Big Cheese of the Facebook. Because you're employees have the right to
flip you a finger. Not a finger represented on your like button,
by the way.
The
free exchange of ideas, though, doesn't mean you shout down one side
when they dare disagree with you. Debate and disagreement are good
things in a free society. By censuring the...

Seeking amateur shooters for new reality show
Seeking amateur shooters for new reality show
Posted: Friday, February 26, 2016 2:47 pm
By Sara Jane Pohlman/
Lodi Living Editor
Are you an enthusiastic sport shooter with a .22 caliber handgun or rifle at your disposal?
With a sharp eye
and a steady hand, you could win $50,000 and the title of first American
Marksman, thanks to a new concept shooting competition TV show by
Outdoor Sportsman Group.
A gun range in Linden has been
approved as an official qualifying location for shooters to earn a bid
to the Southwest Regional Championship.
The San Joaquin Rifle and Pistol Range is owned by Christine Zador, who is president of the company.
“We couldn’t be more proud and
excited to be named an official local qualifying range for American
Marksman,” said Zador. “Our organizations share the same goal, to bring
new folks into the shooting sports in a safe and fun environment. We
look forward to welcoming competitors into our facility beginning in
March.”
Zador’s parents opened the range
37 years ago. Zador grew up on the property and worked as a target
setter as a teen. Four years ago, she and her father renovated the
facility. When he passed away in 2012, Zador turned the business into a
corporation and hired a knowledgeable staff to run the place.
They offer target practice and gun safety classes to visitors from as far as Sacramento, Merced and the Bay Area.
“I pride myself on how respectful
95 percent of our shooters are when they come out here,” she said.
“We’re all in it together. If people don’t follow the rules, they have
to go home.”
Shooters at the range are
required to undergo a safety briefing and sign a waiver. If they are new
to the sport, the shooter will work with a range safety officer before
stepping up to the firing line.
Those who are especially new to
sport shooting are invited to men’s or women’s pistol nights. These are a
series of educational and practical courses on weeknights to become
more comfortable with their firearm.
This competition is open to
amateurs. After registering online, competitors will head out to the
range on weekend days in March, April and May of this year. Each
competitor will complete a qualifying course using .22 caliber rim fire
ammunition fired from .22 caliber rifles, handguns or both. Scores will
be uploaded to the American Marksman leaderboards on the website as soon
as competitors complete the contest.
Crews from the reality show will
choose which shooters to highlight in the show based on their online
profiles, and how well they do in early qualifying rounds. Zador said
the organization is looking for everyday gunowners with great skills.
Zador’s staff is training this week to run the qualifying course and prepare for the competition.
“This is the first year, so come
out and show off your skills,” she said. “I grew up in sports, and I
love the competitive aspect of shooting sports. This is something to
work hard for.”
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Prices and hours for the San Joaquin Rifle and Pistol Range are online at www.lindengunrange.com.

Smith & Wesson M&P 10
Springfield, MA -- Smith
& Wesson Corp. today announced that the company’s M&P10 rifle
was recognized as the top performing hunting modern sporting rifle by
Game & Fish/Sportsman magazine.
Smith & Wesson General Manager for the M&P brand, Jan Mladek, was presented with the prestigious “Readers’ Choice Award” during the 2016 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
More than 5,000 Game & Fish/Sportsman readers cast their votes in the magazine’s 2015 Readers’ Choice Awards and provided personal opinions about their experiences using the Smith & Wesson M&P10 rifle. Qualified voters were longtime hunters and shooters who have enjoyed the sport for multiple years. The M&P10 received over 50 percent of the total votes cast and more than double the number of votes received for the second and third place modern sporting rifles.
Reliability features of the M&P10 include a durable corrosion resistant Armornite barrel finish a a chrome-lined bolt carrier, gas key and firing pin. On top of the upper receiver, Smith & Wesson has placed a Picatinny-style optic ready flat top. A secondary rail on top of gas block is also standard and facilitates the use of aftermarket iron sights. Additional features on the upper receiver include a front sling attachment and an AR-style forward assist. On the lower receiver, Smith & Wesson has added a forward serrated edge on the magwell for increased firearm control and rear sling attachment.
From the rifle’s enhanced features to its user specific design, the M&P10 offers a versatile and dependable option for a wide array of sport shooting activities. The M&P10 has been engineered using the highest quality components and is thoroughly tested to withstand the rigors of excessive use in the field.
The M&P10 represents the collective feedback of consumers across the country as well as more than 160 years of experience from the legendary firearms manufacturer.

The entire family of M&P15 rifles was developed to meet the high demands of a wide group of dedicated sportsmen and women.”Designed to be fully ambidextrous, the M&P10, chambered in .308 WIN/ 7.62x51mm, is well suited for long-range applications, big game hunting or competition.

Obama's ATF wants to BAN your AR-15 Ammo - sign the petition against this now!
Sign The Petition Now, Before It's Too Late!
Dear
Concerned American,
If you own an AR-15, and don’t want your sources
of inexpensive, effective ammunition to be ripped away from you,
then you absolutely must read every word of this urgent
letter.
Because if you don’t act now, your AR-15
could get turned into nothing more than an expensive paper weight
because you won’t ever be able to get ammunition for it again
...
This is 1,000 times worse than any ammo shortage we’ve
suffered over the past few years ...
And it affects anyone who owns guns (not
just AR-15 owners, although they’re the first target as always).
In short, if you care at all about your rights as
an American you must know what’s going on.
Here’s the story ...
In the dead of night on February 13, 2015, the ATF
rammed through a unilateral ban on M855 “green tip”
ammo.
As if that wasn’t bad enough – the way
they’ve justified their ban – they could use this same
reasoning to ban all AR-15 ammunition
in the near future.
In short, this is nothing more than ....
The Biggest “Back Door”
Attempt At Gun Control
the Federal Government Has Ever Attempted!
And I’m counting on you today to make sure
we don’t let this stand.
Here’s what you need to know ...
Obama has publically stated that his gun control failures
are his “biggest frustration” ... and ... he wants Australian
style gun control in the USA (universal registration and Federal
confiscation) ...
So far, every direct attempt at gun control by Obama’s
administration has failed ...
That’s why the ATF is trying to sneak their
way in the “back door” to gun control by simply banning
ammunition ...
And this new gun control measure by the ATF is aimed
squarely at disarming the American public of one of the most popular
types of AR-15 ammunition.
The most popular rifle in America is the AR-15 and
it uses 5.56/.223 Remington ammunition ...
Now, the two most common 5.56 rounds are the 55gr
M193 and the 62gr “green tip” M855. Both of these are
full metal jacket (FMJ) designs originally used by the military
and have been widely available for sale to civilians for over 30+
years ...
The ATF has announced that they’re now banning
the 62gr M855 because they claim that it has no sporting purpose
and is armor piercing and that they must do it to “protect
law enforcement officers” ...
In 1986, the ATF had previously exempted M855 ammunition
from being labeled “armor piercing” because it found
it “has been recognized as being suitable for target shooting
with rifles due to its accuracy” ...
However, now they are claiming that this ammunition
must be banned because it can be used in both “AR-type”
rifles and “AR-type” handguns.
And simply because it can be fired from a semi-automatic
handgun, they claim they can ban it in the name of officer safety
in accordance with the provisions governing armor piecing ammunition
were originally enacted in the Law Enforcement Officers Protection
Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-408) (“LEOPA”)
In short, if a rifle round can also ... possibly ...
in any way ... be used in a semi-automatic handgun, then it is a
danger to police officers and must be banned.
The problem is: it’s a complete lie!
M855 is not a threat to police officers.
Our research has found no news reports of police officers
ever having been shot with M855 ammunition. Nor have their ever
been any reports of an AR-15 type pistol loaded with M855 ammunition
being used to kill a police officer.
In fact, a 2006 U.S. Department of Justice study found
ZERO instances where an “AR-type” firearm was used to
kill police officers.
Much less an “AR-type” pistol loaded with
M855 ammunition that defeated an officer’s body armor ...
In other words, the ATF is creating an imaginary reason
for banning one of the most common types of AR-15 ammunition available
to civilians.
Why? Simply because they can’t ban your access
to this rifle, so they want to make it harder for you to get cheap,
reliable, ammunition for your AR-15 – the most popular rifle
in America.
Now, even if you don’t care about M855 ammunition,
here’s what you must understand ...
This Ruling Gives The ATF
a Backdoor To
Ban All AR-15 Ammunition In The Future!
The ATF is claiming that they are making this change
to “protect the lives and safety of law enforcement officers
from the threat posed by ammunition capable of penetrating a protective
vest” ...
Essentially the ATF is arguing that if a rifle round
falls under the definition of “Armor piercing” and can
penetrate a police officer’s protective vest ...
AND there is a possibility that it can be fired from
a semi-automatic handgun ...
Then they have the authority to ban it as armor piercing
ammunition.
As you might know ...
Protective vests commonly worn by police officers
are generally of the “soft body armor” type and only
rated to stop common handgun rounds .
That means all AR-15 ammunition will penetrate
common protective vests worn by police officers on patrol because
all AR-15 ammunition are rifle rounds ...
So it stands to reason that if the ATF can get away
with banning M855 because it can penetrate protective vests ...
and because it can be fired from an “AR-type” pistol
... then they can ban every single type of AR-15 ammunition in existence
because they can all penetrate soft body armor designed to stop
nothing bigger than .357 magnum handgun rounds!
And make no mistake ...
The timing of this scandal is not accidental ...
The facts are ...
President Obama is serving his last term in office.
He has no reason to hold back on pushing gun control measures because
he is not worried about being re-elected.
His administration, and the ATF specifically, will
do everything in their power to strip American citizens of their
rights to bear arms ...
And if they can’t do that with outright gun
bans then they will use “back door” methods to make
your rights impotent because they know that a gun without ammunition
is little more than a paperweight.
This is how Americans—
how you will lose your rights
— one inch at a time ...
When the 2nd Amendment was written the founders made
it clear that guns were necessary to ensure the survival of the
new system of liberty—the first of its kind—they had
founded in America
Contrary to the ideas of anti-gun politicians –
it was fully intended that every day American citizens would own
“military grade” weaponry.
In fact, during the American Revolution, in a country
of less than 4 million people, there are records for at least 2,200
privately owned warships.
Even as late as 1925, anyone with $225 could purchase a fully automatic
Thompson Submachine Gun (the famous “Tommy Gun”) by
mail order, or from the local hardware or sporting goods store.It wasn’t until President Franklin Roosevelt passed the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 that American’s started to see the first inch of Federal gun control strip their rights as machine guns, short barreled rifles, and other items such as silencers were regulated ...
In 1968, more and more inches were taken with the passing of the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA). This is actually one of the laws the ATF is using to try to ban this ammo.
These Gun Control Tactics
Are Based On
The Nazi Weapons Law of 1938 ...
The “Gun Control Act” of 1968 (GCA) attempts
to regulate whether a firearm or its ammunition is legal for you
and I based upon whether it has a “sporting purpose”
or not.
What most people don’t realize is that this
language was written into the GCA by Senator Thomas Dodd, a Senator
who would shortly after be censured and thrown out of office because
of rampant corruption ...
It’s widely believed Senator Dodd got the idea
for the “sporting purposes test” from the Nazi gun control
schemes used to disarm their civilians and murder them ...
Senator Dodd personally owned a copy of the Nazi Weapons
Law of 1938 and according to extensive research, the GCA tracks
the Nazi Weapons Law of 1938 in structure in effect.
The most obvious connection is the “sporting
purposes test” – matching the Nazi law almost word-for-word
once translated – that is now being twisted to ban M855 ammunition.
The GCA also asserts that the power to determine whether
a firearm or ammunition has a “sporting purpose” is
vested in the Secretary of the Treasury. The Nazi Weapons Law gave
the same power to its own unelected bureaucracy.
That’s why I must ask you to ...
ACT NOW
Gun control is not about guns. It’s about control.
The roots of the current law being used by the ATF
to attempt to ban one of the most common forms of AR-15 ammunition
are straight out of the Nazi Weapons Law playbook ...
As gun owners ... as Americans ... we can’t
let this stand.
Sign the petition below against
the ATF banning M855 ammunition.
If you do nothing, you will lose another source of
cheap, accurate, very versatile ammunition that can be used for
anything from defending your family, to hunting, to target shooting
...
If you think that this does not concern you because
you are a hunter ... or you don’t like AR-15’s ... or
you only care about your particular ammo because you don’t
use M855, then you are wrong.
If you don’t speak up now ... if you don’t
stand against this ban ... then who will speak up for you when the
ATF suddenly decides – during the cover of darkness over a
holiday weekend – that your favorite ammunition is now unlawful?
Get Angry!
And please sign the petition below.
Only by fighting for our rights, by standing up as
a unified force of Americans can we make the un-elected bureaucrats
in Washington understand that they can’t change our lives
and direct our futures whenever they want to change their own moods.
That’s why I’m sure I can count on you
to sign our petition.
There’s an old saying that applies perfectly
in this situation, "silence gives consent."
If you do not sign this petition, these power-hungry
bureaucrats will know no one cares about its rules.
They’ll think this enormous grab for power by
the ATF has not angered anyone.
So please, say something, because this is the moment
of truth.
Your signature gives decisive democratic legitimacy
to the efforts of our organization Prepared Gun Owners.
And after signing the petition, please forward this
message to all your contacts. Share it on Facebook. Put it on whatever
Social Media you have.
Tell them it's time to act.
There’s no time to lose.
Thank you.
We will keep you informed on the progress of our efforts.
Sincerely,
Caleb Lee

PETITION TO THE ATF
Dear ATF,
I strongly oppose reclassifying M855
ammunition as armor piercing!
Because of the high lead-content of
its bullet, M855 does not even meet the BATFE's own definition
of armor piercing ammunition.
M855 is simply accurate ammunition
that has been used for sporting purposes for many years.
I myself use it.
Nothing, including new handguns that
are capable of shooting M855 ammunition, changes that fact.
Finally, the recent rulings by the
United States Supreme Court that the Second Amendment protects
an individual's right to keep and bear arms, by necessity
also protects an individual's right to have ammunition designed
for use with those arms.
