  • Something different for this episode!

Imagine that a group of respected people from various Countries got together recently at some National Summit meeting (let’s say, in Philadelphia) for the explicit purpose of modifying their previous UN treaties and agreements with each other. At the outset of the Summit, it was declared that no one was allowed to talk about the Summit outside the meeting. They met for four months, in a closed Summit hall, in complete secrecy. But instead of doing what they said they were going to do and modify previous agreements, they cleverly decided to create a completely new Treaty of the United Countries, seeking to establish a single world government comprised of legislatures, judges, and even a president of the world.

The people who met at the Summit decided that in order for this new United Countries Treaty to come into being, that 9/13ths of the Countries would need to sign it. But instead of requiring signatures from the various legislatures, it just asked for signatures from special Country Summits.  At the end of the Philadelphia Summit, even though not everyone at the Summit agreed on the wording or ideas in the Treaty, they stated that the attendees “having written the Treaty decided unanimously to send it to the Countries for approval.” Heh heh, get it? They decided unanimously to send it. Clever. Thinking this would confuse ratifiers into believing the Treaty was unanimously agreed to. The wording of their new Treaty began with the phrase, “We the people of the Unified Countries…” But shouldn’t it have read, “We the countries of the Unified Countries?”

The people in favor of the new Treaty decided to take the name “Nationalists” for themselves and for everyone who agreed with this new world government, even though “Globalists” might have been a more accurate name. They called anyone that disagreed with them “Anti-Nationalists.” (Clever!) After their Summit, three of the key authors of the Treaty wrote Op-Eds in the New York Times under pseudonyms so that no one knew they were the Treaty’s authors. Clever! Their goal was to convince the Countries to agree to the Treaty. The 85 articles they wrote came to be called, “The Nationalist” or “The Nationalist Papers.”

In them they said that this new “National Government” was needed to combat a common threat. They didn’t specify the threat exactly, but perhaps it was a global environmental threat or astroid collision or lone-wolf terrorists or threat of alien invasion.  Whatever it was, this threat was a CRISIS! The Countries must act immediately to ratify the Treaty. Some even begged that time need not be taken to debate the Treaty in detail, just agree to it and trust the respected people of the Summit that it is the right thing to do for the Countries.

Some of the articles in the Treaty stated that they would need to impose taxes to fund a defense against the threat. A militant force would be assembled to fight the threat. Land for a headquarters of 10 square miles would have to be established. There was a clause that said that the new National Government could enact laws that were “necessary and proper” for executing their powers. Another one said that the new Congress would have the power to “promote the general welfare” of the United Countries.

Some things not explicitly stated in the Treaty would happen anyway: People would be employed to collect the taxes.  A World police would come about to enforce the collection of taxes. After some time, agencies would eventually rise such as the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), World Security Agency (WSA),  The World Guard, External Revenue Service (ERS), World Reconnaissance Office (WRO), National Emergency Management Association (NEMA), Department of World Education, Department of World Energy, et cetera…

Eventually, this new National Government would grow so large as to make the governments of the individual Countries somewhat meaningless. If a Country’s police did not enforce by the new “National” laws, the NBI would be brought in to sweep down and arrest the offenders.

As time went on, the people would eventually forget that the Treaty was supposed to restrict the size of the National Government.

The Anti-Nationalists lost their argument, and the people of the World lost their liberty.

——————–

GURU Roulette:

The following is a letter, written by one of the Summit attendees, an anti-nationalist, to his country’s ratifying convention:

——————–

Gentlemen,

I am honored to enclose, pursuant to my commission, the Treaty proposed by the National Summit.

I did not agree with the system and I will submit my objections to the honorable legislature.

It was painful for me, on a subject of such global importance, to disagree with the respected members who signed the Treaty. But I believed that the World’s liberties were not secured by the new system and that it was my duty to oppose it.

Here are my main objections to the plan:

  1. The people are not adequately represented.
  2. They have no security for the right of an election.
  3. Some powers of the legislative branch are ambiguous, and others are indefinite and dangerous.
  4. The executive branch is blended with, and will have an undue influence over, the legislature.
  5. The judicial branch will be oppressive
  6. Regulations of the highest importance can be formed by the President, with the advice of two-thirds of a quorum of the Senate
  7. The system does not have the security of a Bill of Rights.

These are objections do not apply to just a specific locality, they apply equally to all of the countries.

Since the Summit’s purpose was for “the sole and express purpose of revising existing agreements, and reporting to Congress and the several legislatures, the alterations and provisions that will render the National Treaty adequate to the needs of government and the preservation of the Union of countries,” I did not imagine that these powers extended to the formation of the proposed plan. But the Summit had a different opinion, so I reluctantly accepted it, being fully convinced that in order to preserve the Union, an efficient government was absolutely necessary, and that it would be difficult to make proper amendments to the existing agreements.

The proposed system has few, if any, national features. Instead, it is a system of global government. Nevertheless, in many respects, I think it has great merit, and, by proper amendments, could be adapted to the “needs of government and preservation of liberty.”

The question on this plan involves others of the highest importance:

  1. Will the UN be closed down?
  2. Will the national governments be changed so much that they will effectively be dissolved?
  3. In lieu of the UN and national governments, will the proposed global Treaty be substituted in their place without any amendment?

Never, perhaps, were a people called upon to decide a question of greater magnitude. If the citizens of the world adopt the plan as it now stands, their liberties may be lost. But if they reject it altogether, anarchy might result. It is clear, therefore, that their decision should not be made hurriedly. The subject should be well understood. Otherwise, they might have to refuse to support the government after having hastily accepted it.

Regardless of whether they are for or against the Treaty, if discussions about it remain moderate, they will provide a great deal of information and the result will be a happy one.

Some may urge that we have total confidence in the Summit. But no matter how respectable the members may be who signed the Treaty, only a free people are the proper guardians of their rights and liberties. The greatest men can make mistakes, and their mistakes are sometimes the largest.

Other people might assume that the Treaty can be safely adopted because of the provisions it contains to amend it. But can’t this better be done before it is ratified than after it? Should free people really adopt a form of government knowing that it needs amendment?

Some others might think that if the people do not adopt the plan, that they will not unite in another plan. But surely, while they still have the power to amend it, they do not need to completely reject it.

I have been delayed here longer than I expected, but will leave here in a day or two for America. When I arrive, I will submit the basis for my objections (if required by the legislature).

I will only add that, since the welfare of the Union requires a better Treaty than the UN Treaty, I believe it is my duty as a citizen of America to support whatever is finally adopted, sincerely hoping that it will secure the liberty and happiness of the world.

Sincerely,

E. Gerry.

***September 17, 2012 will be the 225th anniversary of just such an event happening…***

Wow, wish Tom would have won. Tiger injured? Don’t be a pigeon. Why gold is money. Mojo and Mystie.

I ENCOURAGE you to Download this show thru iTunes! Subscribe with iTunes! But, if you just cannot deal with that then go ahead and Play the new show right now

MMM-161 Topics in this week’s show include:

  • I sure wish Tom Watson had made that putt.
  • Did Tiger Woods have an injured hand?
  • I found my golf books.
  • The story of the Pigeons. Don’t be a pigeon.
  • DH podcast. Don’t they know why gold is money?
  • Our two new kittens. One is "Mojo." The other? "Mystie?" We’ll see…

Twenty Lessons for the next generation:

    1. Don’t listen to the media. In fact, make a habit of turning off the TV. And if you must watch, at least skip the ads. All TV is trying to sell you something. Doesn’t matter what it is… news, business, comedy, sports. And if you have to be sold something, it is usually something you shouldn’t want. Especially CNBC. Don’t listen to politicians for the same reasons.
    2. Learn to think from the perspective from the other person not just yourself all the time. Do they really have your best interest at heart? Be wary of anyone to whom you are paying money. Doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, financial planners, realtors. You have to assume they did not go to the trouble of setting up their professional career just to help you personally or to be your friend. Also, think about what they may actually be needing. How can you help supply it?
    3. Think for yourself. Don’t let your peers con you into thinking math is boring, for example. Recognize peer pressure and revel in your ability to thwart it without being obnoxious.
    4. Try to do the opposite of the first three. Try to help people at a reasonable fee, don’t get into a position of having to sell something to someone.
    5. Don’t worship people: celebrities, actors, musicians, athletes, or even their ideas. As for people, they do not possess godlike powers. They are not smarter than you. Maybe they just worked hard on something. They do not deserve your worship. Instead, pay attention to the people you actually come in contact with. As for ideas, you may later learn you were wrong. Hedge your bets.
    6. Be selective in your friendships. There are different levels of friends: brother or sister, close, proximity, acquaintance. Make sure you choose brotherly and close friends that are good people. Still, don’t be disappointed if they sometimes disappoint you.
    7. If someone is angry with you, take a break before trying to calm them. Time heals.
    8. Don’t wait to be educated. There is just about nothing that you cannot learn on your own with all the resources available today. Books everywhere, blogs, online video. Before you sign up for classes, think about self-training first.
    9. Work hard. Nothing comes easy. 10,000 hours to get great. Work on the important things. Work on things that will have a meaningful result. If you are going to spend you time anyway doing something anyway, why not spend it on something that in the end you’ll have something? Guitar, piano, painting, golf, volunteering, building. Anything worth doing is worth doing right.
    10. Everything in moderation, even moderation.
    11. Set yourself up for happiness by setting your expectations low, then be pleasantly surprised if they are exceeded. Every year before we go to the beach we say, "It sure is going to be stinky weather this year."
    12. Watch out for one-way functions. You can’t unbreak glass. Pause before you make a long term commitment. Time shares. Club memberships. New cars. Cell phone plans. Subscriptions. Cable TV. Then don’t make it.
    13. Optimize delayed gratification. Most money should be saved. Yet you do need to have some fun today. Try to have fun in inexpensive ways. This can help smooth out pain of not having enough money or time later on to have fun. The more you do early in life, the harder it is to exceed it later.
    14. Learn the difference between food and candy. Eat food. Go to your local farmer’s market. Plant an earth box.
    15. Buy used. Houses, cars, golf clubs. But make sure you know the real reason they are selling.
    16. Be alert to things that might not go the way you expect. Car breakdown. Power outage. Sickness. Then be prepared.
    17. Take pictures. Your first car, your kittens, your friends, that special moment. iPhone helps here. Copy exceptional ones to a special folder.
    18. Learn about the time value of money. Learn what money is. Learn how to use money efficiently to maximize your lifelong happiness. Don’t spend beyond your means.
    19. Check your assumptions. Consider alternatives. Just because something has always been done that way does not necessarily mean it is the right way. Feel free to innovate.
    20. Embrace the freedom you do have. Recognize that most jobs make you a slave to someone. Even if you own your own business you are enslaved to your customers. All people have to be enslaved to something in order to get food: either hunt it, farm it, or trade for it. Try to find an enslavement that you can make fun.

There are different levels of friends: brother or sister, close, proximity, acquaintance. Make sure you choose brotherly and close friends that are good people. Still, don’t be disappointed if they sometimes disappoint you. If someone is angry with you, take a break before trying to calm them. Time heals. Don’t wait to be educated. There is just about nothing that you cannot learn on your own with all the resources available today. Books everywhere, blogs, online video. Before you sign up for classes, think about self-training first. Work hard. Nothing comes easy. 10,000 hours to get great. Work on the important things. Work on things that will have a meaningful result. If you are going to spend you time anyway doing something anyway, why not spend it on something that in the end you’ll have something? Guitar, piano, painting, golf, volunteering, building. Anything worth doing is worth doing right. Everything in moderation, even moderation. Set yourself up for happiness by setting your expectations low, then be pleasantly surprised if they are exceeded. Every year before we go to the beach we say, "It sure is going to be stinky weather this year." Watch out for one-way functions. You can’t unbreak glass. Pause before you make a long term commitment. Time shares. Club memberships. New cars. Cell phone plans. Subscriptions. Cable TV. Then don’t make it. Optimize delayed gratification. Most money should be saved. Yet you do need to have some fun today. Try to have fun in inexpensive ways. This can help smooth out pain of not having enough money or time later on to have fun. The more you do early in life, the harder it[...] Podcasts Paul Boyer, MadMoneyMachine.com no no MMM-162: Freedom in an Unfree World http://MadMoneyMachine.com/2009/07/12/mmm-162/ http://MadMoneyMachine.com/2009/07/12/mmm-162/#comments Sun, 12 Jul 2009 21:55:38 +0000 Paul Douglas Boyer http://MadMoneyMachine.com/?p=1612 Working at WalMart.

    Hi Paul,
    I’m a long time listener to your podcast. Thanks for putting out such great shows.

    I’m looking for a place to set up an IRA account and transfer my old 401-K plan. I looked at IFA’s web page and I have a couple questions.

    1. In the unlike event that IFA goes belly up will my investment be protected?

    2. Why should I go to IFA instead of signing up with a better known company like Merrill Lynch (yes they’re still around offering IRAs) or directly with Vanguard and cut out the middleman?

    Thank you
    Ed

  • 2008 was financial crisis. 2009 will be economic crisis.
  • Using GIMP for images now. Listen to EconTalk discuss open source software.
  • My Z.buds were crap. Bought Radius earbuds and they are OK. Use coupon code "buymeaniphone" to save $5. Would have liked the tangle-free cords of the Z.buds, but the wires inside broke. Al  so, their L-R balance seemed off.
  • Campaign for Liberty : National Freedom Day
  • Money & Inflation
  • LEARNING EARNING: IFA Investment Principles # 5. Passively invest, diversify to the maximum, maintain a small and value tilt and keep turnover, costs and taxes to a minimum.
  • Arguments against indexing? Specifically , buying the DOW.
  • CEF vs. GTU vs GLD vs GDX
  • GURU: Marc Faber of GloomBoomDoom.com. "We are at the beginning of the worst economic contraction since the Great Depression ." Recovery in 2, 5 or even 10 years time. The market may go even lower from here. 2009 is going to be a catastrophe, economically speaking. Monetary policy led to the excesses and leverage and debt growth. Rate of inflation will accelerate. Interest rates will increase. Markets will drift lower because they are not compelling on P/E, or dividends, or book values. Commodity prices now, after the huge setback, are relatively low. Also Asian markets are low and stocks are probably OK but could go down more. Investing in gold, gold miners in particular, oil, oil companies. Says US Government is a bigger Ponzi scheme than Madoff. S&P may go up, but we have to look at the underlying currency relatively speaking.
  • Perils of Ultrashorts : FXI (China index ETF) was down 46.7% in 2008 but FXP, the UltraShort of FXI, was down 57.2%. "Furthermore, the purveyors simply highlight that these seek to replicate (plus or minus 1 time or 2 times) the daily returns, and that they "do not seek to achieve their stated investment objective over a period of time greater than one day" … despite presumably knowing full well people do not view mutual funds as one-day holds. Indeed, investors are sent a prospectus when they execute a trade, meaning that there is at least three days’ price risk before they even get the prospectus, and that alone is enough to cause damage."

Says US Government is a bigger Ponzi scheme than Madoff. S&P may go up, but we have to look at the underlying currency relatively speaking. Perils of Ultrashorts : FXI (China index ETF) was down 46.7% in 2008 but FXP, the UltraShort of FXI, was down 57.2%. "Furthermore, the purveyors simply highlight that these seek to replicate (plus or minus 1 time or 2 times) the daily returns, and that they "do not seek to achieve their stated investment objective over a period of time greater than one day" … despite presumably knowing full well people do not view mutual funds as one-day holds. Indeed, investors are sent a prospectus when they execute a trade, meaning that there is at least three days’ price risk before they even get the prospectus, and that alone is enough to cause damage."

MMM-143 Topics in this week’s show include:

  • Show produced in Logic Pro on my MacBook. I think I had the expander turned up a little too high because after each pause in speech, I hear some buzzing sound that dies down in about one second.
  • A glitch on show 142 had the first few hundred people downloading the show through iTunes to get the Harry Browne radio show. Why does WordPress combined with PodPress automatically put an .mp3 file into my feed when all I simply do is put in a hyperlink to the .mp3 file. Just another problem to chase.
  • Please bring me the Gingerbread Man geocache travel bug! Looks like it is in College Station Texas today .
  • Backups: Recommendations for Mozy.com and SuperDuper, but I am waiting for GDrive, the long-promised online backup from Google. (And why not, they have all my other data.)
  • GrandCentral, new accounts? Looks like they say they are STILL in Beta. I don’t know how to send out invitations.
  • Caller wants to know what I think of Mint.com . First thing I say is that it sure looks pretty. But I am REALLY HESITANT to give ANY third party access to my financial data. Anyone think it is safe and OK to use?
  • Microsoft Live CashBack program did indeed come through and pay me the 25% cash back on my purchases from eBay. But it looks like they’ve shut me down. Does anyone else still have access to it? Do links to eBay still show up in the search results?
  • Risk that is specific to ONE COMPANY is called non-systematic risk. Systematic risk is that of the entire market. Who cares?
  • Feedback from Rick says Mish is full of mush. P/E ratio is not a way to measure a stock’s price. Instead, Rick says that the lower the discount rate, the higher the price of the stock. P = E/i. Since the drop in i is steeper than the drop in E, prices should be higher.
  • Lazy Portfolios are not idiotic. One bad year does not a dumb strategy make. The active managers never show their long-term performance and especially never show the amount of risk they took. By risk, we mean the standard deviation of the portfolio’s value. And know that the Lazy Portfolios mostly focus on the equities. Yet the majority of investors will temper their portfolios with some fixed income and bonds.
  • Craig at crawlingroad.com keeps track of the Harry Browne permanent portfolio . Says it is the closest thing to an Austrian portfolio. Over time the CAGR is 9-10% a year.
  • What is the best way to own gold? Buy gold coins? Seems like you’d pay too much commission. How about the GLD exchange traded fund? Or how about the CEF? I’ll try to report to you the differences between these and advantages/disadvantages of each.
  • Jim Rogers says commodities will be the first asset class to rise after the end of the recession because they still have good solid fundamentals.
  • LEARNING EARNING: IFA Investment Principles #4: The greater the risk, the longer the time required to obtain the expected return.
