(0:00 - 0:14) The current financial system is rigged. Rigged by the rich and powerful to transfer your wealth into their hands. Rigged for control of governments to give them political influence. (0:15 - 0:29) And the stock markets to make them richer and the rest of us poorer. And it's been that way for a very long time. But understanding how it's rigged is the key to enriching yourself. (0:30 - 0:50) You can't win when you don't know the rules of the game. And now is the best time in the past 100 years to understand the rules of that game because it's about to change. And when the collapse of the current system comes, those who prepared will not only survive but profit. (0:52 - 1:22) Adrian Spitters, a personal financial consultant who correctly predicted the dot-com crash of 2000 and the market crash in 2008. And Peter J. Merrick, a tax haven specialist, have written the first of four books to educate us all on finance and where the safe money is. The answers to understanding the current rigged system and the keys to profiting in the coming collapse lie in the title of the first book in their series. (1:24 - 1:38) It Starts With Gold. Adrian, Peter, welcome to the show. Thank you for having us. (1:39 - 2:12) And I was so pleased, Adrian, when you forwarded me your book that you gentlemen have written, It Starts With Gold, because it is step one, as we discussed in another interview recently, of four books you're writing that is really going to educate people as to what is going on in the world financially, economically, and what's coming if we don't put a stop to it. But before we get into the book itself and the things that you've covered, both of you had wake-up experiences, because you talk in the book about sleepers, about the people who are asleep and don't really understand what's going on. And all three of us were sleepers at one point. (2:13 - 2:28) My own wake-up experience didn't come until 2020. Now, Adrian, yours was earlier than Peter's, so I'm going to start with you. How far back you want to go? Because I've been sort of awake and being a bit of a rebel most of my life. (2:28 - 2:55) I've done things differently and looked at the world differently. But my initial real wake-up call as far as something's wrong with the world started in the financial industry, where what we're being told and what was happening were two different things. And I think 2000 with the 9-11 was one of my wake-up calls. (2:56 - 3:17) And sorry, 2000 itself, the tech record, the dot-com bubble, was one of the ones where I discovered the manipulation in the markets and how the brokers were doing one thing to get people into stocks that had no real value. So that was a wake-up for me. And then 2008 was another wake-up for me. (3:18 - 3:27) I saw the world differently. And so I was already on that journey. And then in 2011, I started digging into Agenda 21. (3:28 - 3:49) And that's when my journey really started to happen, trying to figure out what was really going on, started looking into the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and the manipulation. And then comes 2019, I saw the overnight lending rate, it froze. And something was going on there. (3:50 - 4:07) And then 2020 hits. And I'm looking at, or 2019 actually hit, I was watching the bird flu outbreak in China. All the videos looked, at the time it didn't look fake, but I sort of looked at it like something's not quite right. (4:07 - 4:24) But even though I was already awake to the overall agenda, I actually got bamboozled. I actually went out and got out masks and got N95, I got respirators. And that lasted for about, I would say, two weeks. (4:25 - 4:45) And I said, wait a moment, something doesn't add up here. It's just too fake. And then when I started looking at that John Hopkins map, live map, which Peter knows a bit more about, is that those numbers were just not, it was just, it was like they had this thing ready before the pandemic. (4:46 - 4:52) And I'm going, it's fake. And that's when I go, okay, this is not real. Something else. (4:52 - 4:56) And that's when I started my deep dive. Right. Okay. (4:56 - 5:17) And Peter, what about you? Well, I was an odd kid, Will. I, starting about over 30 years, when I got into the financial field, I wanted to become a skilled presenter, a skilled salesman. So what I ended up doing is I studied NLP, neuro-linguistic programming, and I studied typologies. (5:17 - 5:26) And it moved into my writing. So I read all this stuff, but I looked at it as being academic. It was sort of like you read a book, right? It was sort of like a novel. (5:27 - 5:42) And it's always stages because we call, in our book, sleeples. Some people call them NPCs. We don't call them sheeples because the reason is we're all human beings and we all have the potential to wake up. (5:43 - 5:52) And we each have our moment. So it was in stages. Nothing was impacting me, but I want to share with you a scene that happened in 2015. (5:53 - 6:12) I have a friend who's a producer over at CBC and he's awake, but he has to go into work and he's got a mortgage and everything. And I remember him telling me, Peter, you don't understand what's happening in the culture. He's been censored because he's actually spoken out at CBC, but they can't get rid of him. (6:12 - 6:18) But they definitely put him into the basement. And he was telling me this. I said, what do you mean? He said, you work with entrepreneurs. (6:19 - 6:23) Because I'm a consultant. I deal with succession planning. I sell businesses. (6:24 - 6:37) I pull money out of Canada. I deal with entrepreneurs. And really what entrepreneurs are, they built a gate such as yourself around their lives, right? So they basically look at the government and all these things happening like a cold store. (6:37 - 6:59) You want to keep it under wraps, but it's not in your reality. Well, I had a life event back in 2019, where I almost died the same time that the overnight markets were starting to seize. And for your listeners who don't know what that is, these banks lend to each other at night and they decided that they didn't trust each other. (6:59 - 7:10) So they stopped lending. So the Fed stepped in. The Federal Reserve, which is a private bank, stepped in and was printing about $2 trillion a night to cover the shortfall because the system would have collapsed. (7:10 - 7:21) But all this stuff was happening. Well, the reason I really woke up, because I knew all this stuff, but it didn't impact me. And that's why most people don't wake up. (7:22 - 7:31) And it started impacting me. I went back to Canada during the beginning of COVID. I saw the hospitals were empty. (7:31 - 7:37) I was watching all these programs. I was seeing it in my real life. I had plans for my life. (7:38 - 7:47) And things started happening. Things didn't make sense. And at that point, I went back to the U.S. and I decided not to get the vaccine. (7:48 - 8:14) Because I had met, when I was a child, I met somebody who was a mylamide baby. And for those of you who do not remember what that was, women who had morning sickness, they were given this drug that they said was safe and effective. And babies were born with dull limbs because they were given it during that point in their pregnancy, during morning sickness, was when the limbs were forming. (8:15 - 8:32) So that's why when women are pregnant, they do not smoke, they do not have mercury, like tuna or anything like that. And I'm hearing things that just went out the window. And like you, Will, I don't believe you were asleep. (8:32 - 8:42) I just don't think it impacted your direct life. The government came in. My friend told me when he worked at CBC that I didn't know I lived in a different world. (8:42 - 8:51) It was true. The people I looked at kept, we did everything to keep the government away from us. Well, there was no way to escape it. (8:52 - 9:06) And I got stuck in the States and I went through a PhD. And thank God I met Adrian C. Spitters because I had all this stuff happening inside me. And my cup was overflowing. (9:07 - 9:22) And because of Adrian, he gave me a life back because we were able to articulate all this stuff that we had known. And we're both on the West Coast because it would not have been possible if I was in Toronto. I know that for certain. (9:22 - 9:36) So my wake up moment was that, but not really until my good friend, Larry, who we write about in the book, killed himself. He was a prosecutor for the Canadian government. He refused to get jabbed, forced into retirement. (9:37 - 9:46) He was going to be made a magistrate in transportation. They stole everything from him. He was a well-read man. (9:46 - 9:56) He felt they were going to come after him. And he basically said, I have no life. Because he really, all he had was his work. (9:57 - 10:02) And he took his life. I spoke out. I started really speaking out. (10:02 - 10:13) We were on vaccine choice not that long ago. And I saw Ted speaking to Naomi Wolf. And he said that Canada had no fight. (10:14 - 10:27) I wrote a letter about my friend, Larry. And I used, not a letter, but I wrote an article talking about how Canada had been stolen through the demise of this man's life. And she took it. (10:27 - 10:35) And it had about 3 million views. And it was at that point, I was screwed. The Canada had the bag. (10:36 - 10:46) I was a whack job. So you want to know something? I started speaking out. And I lost, on LinkedIn, I lost 5,000 followers, Canadians in Canada. (10:46 - 10:55) People thought that I had flipped. I was nuts. I was disinvited from my niece's wedding because I was dirty. (10:56 - 11:02) And we all have that story. Every one of us has stories like that. And I want to share one thing. (11:03 - 11:16) Even if you did not, you know, you were on the other side, you thought, believe this stuff. It's okay. You still have an opportunity to take back your sovereignty and wake up. (11:17 - 11:38) Because one thing that Adrian and I, and I'm sure Will, you came to this conclusion. I've had lots of success in my life. One thing I learned, especially being ostracized by people that I thought loved me, treating me as if I was dirty, is the only currency is your soul. (11:40 - 11:47) That's the only currency at the end of the day. I've met people who are billionaires. And I've stood in front of, in our next book, we're writing about it. (11:48 - 11:54) I stood in front of their grave site. They had a beautiful marriage. They're buried by six by nine. (11:54 - 11:59) That's all they get. So I don't care what titles people have. All you have is your soul. (11:59 - 12:05) And that's the lesson of what's happened in the last five years. The only currency. And then you should have a little gold. (12:07 - 12:11) Well said, Peter. Yes, because at the end of the day, we have to live with ourselves. Yeah. (12:11 - 12:27) Just one more question before we get into the book itself. Because this is, it starts with gold, is the first of four books you gents are writing. What was your motivation to write this, Adrian? Well, Peter and I were sharing our stories. (12:28 - 12:48) And there were such similarities, not only in our pathways and the people we connected with, and actually found out that we had attended various conferences that we were at, but didn't know each other. Basically, we were sharing our stories when we first connected. And our frustration and everything else. (12:48 - 13:02) And then sharing stories about where we've been, and the people we knew, and we realized we knew a lot of the same thing. And then we started talking about the lockdowns. We started talking about our frustrations. (13:03 - 13:32) And then I was talking about my business and how my business was growing rapidly within the Freedom community. And Peter asked, well, why is that happening? And I said, it starts with gold. I was invited on a number of shows, including your show, where I was working with precious metals, New World Precious Metals. (13:33 - 13:49) And I said, it starts with gold. My relationship since then has started with working with the gold people, and then people reaching out to me wanting to do more with the rest of their money. So that came the title of the book. (13:50 - 13:58) And our discussions, then we said we should write about the book. We should write about what were our experiences. So that was the genesis of it. (13:58 - 14:08) All right. And Peter? You know, I really believe that for Adrian and I, we were adamant to write this book. I really do. (14:09 - 14:25) Because the way it came together, I had a lot of changes in my business over the last few years. I was very focused in Toronto on tax structures. And there was a certain tax structure that I would do that tax lawyers would call me up to implement. (14:26 - 14:47) And that's all I did. Well, because of me speaking out, and the fact that I wouldn't go back to Toronto and everything else, I switched over to cross border, where I help people take their money out of the United States through various structures. Because the US Canada tax treaty makes the United States for Canadians the best tax haven. (14:47 - 14:57) And most Canadians don't know that. What was happening is, I was just trying to figure my footing out. Because it was pretty dramatic, like all of us. (14:57 - 15:05) I moved. My career had changed. The place I lived changed. (15:05 - 15:18) And my marriage had ended. So we're talking, I had lots of changes in my life. And Adrian, for those of you who know him, he's just a beautiful man. (15:19 - 15:28) He's just a beautiful man. He just made it easier. And I was telling him that I wanted to write a book called Lie to Me. (15:28 - 15:44) And Adrian was going to work on a book that he had written before called Who's Managing Your Money? And we just started talking. And we shared all these great experiences. And it just flowed. (15:44 - 15:59) It just was natural. I say something and instead of Adrian conflicting me, it'd be like this. And it was almost like if we were playing volleyball and all we wanted to do is volley it, there was no spiking. (16:00 - 16:09) It was just beautiful. And I was amazed about Adrian's business. I was really amazed. (16:09 - 16:16) And I remember I was outside. I was walking in San Diego. And Adrian's helping me and say, hey, maybe you should write a book on gold, Peter. (16:16 - 16:21) Maybe you should do this. Maybe you should do that. Because he was always helpful. (16:21 - 16:34) You know that well. And I kept on trying to figure out it because I'm really into those programs. You know, say how they make this, how they make corn, how they make milk, how they make like Lego, all that different stuff. (16:34 - 16:56) So I'm trying to figure this out. How has someone who sold this practice, was out of the business, now has this phenomenal growth? So we start talking. They say, what do you do? And he said, you know, mostly the people who contact me, they're very concerned about the financial system. (16:57 - 17:05) They are not getting the answers from their brokers. Most of their brokers and financial advisors are asleep. So they move all their assets to me. (17:06 - 17:20) And I go, oh, and then what happens? He says, usually 5% to 25% goes into gold and other precious metals. And it's either they take possession of it or it's vaulted. And I'm listening to that. (17:20 - 17:32) And I say, so it begins with gold? And Adrian says, yes. And then I said, well, begin is two syllables. And then I said, it starts with gold. (17:32 - 17:42) And he says, yes. And I went on to a search to see if the URL was available. And it was. (17:42 - 17:57) And Adrian, you remember what I said to you? Yeah, we have to own it. And I also said, we're writing. And then we started talking about, actually, we bought that. (17:57 - 18:05) And then later on. Yeah, but before I bought it, I turned to you and I said, what are we doing? We're writing a book. We're writing a book. (18:07 - 18:19) And I'm going, and I'm saying like silence, like we're writing a book. I thought I'm helping you write a book. You opened your big mouth, Adrian. (18:20 - 18:24) Yeah, that's why. Yeah, the penalty for competence is more work. You know that. (18:25 - 18:30) Yeah. All right. This was a labor of love, Will. (18:30 - 18:37) A labor of love. Right. You want to say something first, Adrian? Well, we'll talk about later. (18:37 - 18:47) But the other titles came later when we had a defining moment, which we'll get to later in our discussion. Because that's important how we came up with the other titles. OK. (18:48 - 18:54) So let's get into the book. Now, covering the entire 580 page book. This was a heck of an endeavor, gentlemen. (18:55 - 19:04) In one interview would be impossible. I want to touch on the high points. And you, I've learned a great deal myself, interviewing knowledgeable people such as yourself. (19:04 - 19:07) I'm no financial expert. You know that. But I've learned a lot. (19:07 - 19:28) But there was something in the book that I had never heard of that I think is a real eye opener, people. Let's talk about 1930, Jekyll Island. Adrian, you want to start on that one? Oh, what part do you want to talk about? We made the connection in our research. (19:28 - 19:34) The Federal Reserve Act. Peter knows more about that than me. All right, Peter. (19:34 - 19:46) Go ahead. So Adrian and I, you know, these are things that we knew, that we read. And again, as I was sharing with you, it's impacting us because in essence, things don't make sense to us. (19:46 - 20:03) And we want to share because we realize we can talk about viruses and all these things. Adrian and I have spent the last 70 years collectively in the financial system. And there's a story about Jekyll Island. (20:04 - 20:25) And this is in Georgia. And basically, there's a connection towards J.P. Morgan, that there was a meeting that happened where a quarter of the world's wealth, people who actually controlled the quarter of the world's wealth, got together in secret. And they passed out the Federal Reserve. (20:25 - 20:45) And what that was, is taking away from the people of the United States, the control of printing their money. And in history, when the United States was created, we had two attempts at banks that failed. I mean, private central banks. (20:45 - 20:55) My emphasis is private. And the reason they failed is one, they were terrible for the people. And number two, they had a sunset clause. (20:55 - 21:17) They disappeared after 20 years. Well, they did something at that island, is they made sure that sunset clause wasn't there. And at that meeting, they took control from the people because it was the elected representatives of the United States who controlled the printing press. (21:17 - 21:34) And they gave it to a bunch of thugs. Who, if you look at that movement, those people who were there, they were also part of the eugenics movement. They were also part of Pharmakeia, which is the drug companies. (21:35 - 22:09) Basically, they believed that we were children, and at worst, useless eaters. And we were able to find that because one of the big discoveries that Adrian and I did is the most powerful man in the room at Jekyll Island was also a founder of IG Farben. And IG Farben made Xylan B, which went into the gas chambers in Auschwitz and all the other extermination camps. (22:09 - 22:16) And that company was broken up. It was a German company. It was broken up after World War II. (22:16 - 22:46) And all the major drug companies, I'm not going to list them all, but you know them by heart, are IG Farben. So this Federal Reserve and this genocidal chemical company, which they call a drug company, was broken up. And many of our fellow citizens have things placed in their arms and in their bodies that actually is directly related to Jekyll Island. (22:46 - 22:59) Right. And this is important for the viewers who don't quite understand what I'm getting at here. The Federal Reserve is a private central bank, very cleverly named to make it sound like it's run by the government, but it is not. (23:00 - 23:29) And it is one of a group of private central banks around the world that are owned by these extremely wealthy people who want to use this economic system to control us all. A lot of people have come awake recently with the threat of CBDCs because they can see the direct connection of CBDCs to digital IDs, to social credit scores, but they don't understand that there's been a financial control system in place for a long time under private central banks. I mean, these are the people who came up with the fractional reserve banking, the ability to create money at a thin air. (23:30 - 23:41) So I want to start, and we could go back farther because you gentlemen do in your book, but like I said, we don't have time to go through all of this. I want to start there. 1930, formation of the Federal Reserve by these extremely wealthy people. (23:43 - 23:51) What is it that they were wanting? Yes. Well, it was formed in 1913, the Federal Reserve. Oh, right. (23:51 - 23:58) Sorry. I just wanted, sorry, I just, so if you want to- You know what it is, Peter? It's my extremely poor vision. I'm looking at my notes. (23:58 - 24:03) It says 1910, Jekyll Island. I saw 1930. So there's my confusion. (24:03 - 24:06) Sorry about that. Thank you for correcting me. So we go all the way back to 1910. (24:06 - 24:23) Jekyll Island, the Federal Reserve being formed in 1913, and all these very wealthy people who were behind this. But it's a control mechanism for the economy, the financial system. So please explain what their plan was at that point in time. (24:23 - 24:31) And then we'll move forward to get to where we are now. Control. The sheeple. (24:31 - 24:37) We say that throughout the book. Control, control, control. It's just control. (24:37 - 25:05) In essence, give us an illusion of control. Because one of the things I want to share out, and I'm going to bring this back to Canada, I actually thought the Bank of Canada was owned and operated by the Bank of the Canadian government, us. I didn't realize these things were private until Mark Carney was brought over to run the Bank of England. (25:05 - 25:30) I'm going, how does that happen? Like, I can't be Prime Minister of England. Like, how does he become the head of the Bank of England? It doesn't make sense to me. And that's when I really started digging into it, when he became the head of the Bank of England, because it just didn't make sense, right? You would assume that it'd be a British subject who would run an organization like that if he was part of the government. (25:30 - 25:41) But when you understand the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, these are all private central banks. Yes, yes. So talking about control though, because you gentlemen went into some detail in your book. (25:41 - 26:13) What I'm looking for now is the nitty gritty of how that control, like I said, people can see the direct connection between CBDCs, digital IDs, and all that. But it's not as clear when you go back to 1910, 1913, the Federal Reserve, the private central banks, the fractional reserve banking system, how that control was being implemented. I can share with you, and hopefully I have a memory, because the book is 580 pages, is that they sat down and they had that meeting. (26:14 - 26:41) And basically, the US government would issue bonds and things, they basically controlled it, it was really faith in the government. At that point, what happened is they created the Federal Reserve, but just before the Federal Reserve, which basically you're paying a private entity for creating paper out of nothing, right? You give your life energy, your things, you sign it over, and you pay interest. Well, that interest has to get paid. (26:43 - 26:59) So directly tied to the Federal Reserve, we in the book point out about the Income Tax Act in the States, and it wasn't ratified. There's no proof that it was ratified. There's no proof that tax was ratified in Canada and any other countries. (26:59 - 27:24) But it's very convenient that when these banks actually came, when they were created, the Income Tax Acts came in, and they said it was a temporary act in both Canada and also in the United States. It wasn't temporary. And think about this, you need to borrow money well. (27:26 - 27:33) So you come to me, and I can create money out of nowhere. You're the government. I create it out of nowhere, and I give it to you. (27:34 - 27:37) I'm not working. I'm not doing anything. I'm not creating anything. (27:37 - 27:51) I just go and give you this make-believe. This is how crazy it is, make-believe. I give you a piece of paper that I'd say has value, and everybody else in the country now thinks that this thing means something, right? It's like it's official. (27:52 - 28:01) It means something. It only means something because they believe in it. But now I need to get paid for it, for the nothing I created. (28:01 - 28:17) So I'm charging you the bank rate. So now you have to pay me for something that I gave you that wasn't worth nothing. And well, how are you going to get that money? You already don't have anything, right? Well, welcome to the Income Tax. (28:18 - 28:36) And let's siphon it off of these individuals who are the common folk, are the citizens. And let's use big words because the purpose of big words should be to catch, not pitch. But let's talk about, I'm an economist. (28:36 - 28:45) I'm this, I'm that. And we all go, oh, let's give our power to authority. And no one ever asks the question. (28:46 - 28:49) And I'm guilty too. Go ahead. I'm guilty as well. (28:49 - 29:03) Do you ever notice that when we borrow money from the Federal Reserve or Bank of Canada, whatever, we never pay back the principal. We always only pay the interest and the loan outstanding. So they create this money out of thin air. (29:03 - 29:28) So now they create this artificial obligation that we now are obligated to pay interest on. And part of the reason we have inflation is because if we had the ability to pay back the loan, we don't have enough income to pay for the interest. So now you have inflation, which takes care of the interest, which is a taxation. (29:28 - 29:44) So without inflation, we don't have the ability to generate taxable or charge tax to pay off the debt. So it's built into the system. Can I add to that, Adrian? It's so unfair, the system. (29:44 - 30:20) The reason why, because the common folk, the people who actually have to pay with taxes, because large corporations that we don't know really who runs these things and what their agendas are, because they're definitely not national. The closer you are to the printing press, you're able to get access to this fake imaginary fiat money and you're able to buy real tangible things. So for example, if I work hard and I'm a farmer and I go and get a loan, it's going to be a much higher rate than BlackRock. (30:21 - 30:34) And BlackRock is able to get access to this fake money that's created out of thin air at the lowest price. And they're able to take that fake money and they're able to buy your house, Will. They're able to buy my house. (30:34 - 30:44) They're able to go and buy real things and they're able to get it for nothing. And that's the scam. There's, this is, money is not attached to anything. (30:46 - 30:58) And there's no, please. Yeah, just to go further on that, you're seeing this dichotomy right now in the real estate market. If you're a homeowner, you're paying a much higher interest rate on your mortgage right now. (30:59 - 31:28) If you are a individual investor investing in one or two rental properties, you're paying top interest rate. And as an investor, you pay a higher rate than you do for your personal mortgage. Well, these large multifamily corporations are actually able to go to CMHC and get mortgages from CMHC guaranteed on their projects, their billion dollars worth of property or multi-billion dollars for about 30% less than you as an individual. (31:28 - 31:42) So the institutions that are in the business of renting have an advantage to you as a single investor. So if you buy a pre-sale condo and hope to rent it out, you're at a disadvantage. Right. (31:43 - 32:08) Now, gentlemen, I'm going to attempt with my own meager knowledge to absolutely in plain English, everything we've just talked about in order to clarify, and I'm gonna ask your comments on it. Because my question originally was the formation of these private central banks, the Federal Reserve is one example, as a control mechanism. So how did that control work? I think the first thing we have to do is for those viewers who don't know what fractional reserve banking is, let me give a very quick explanation. (32:09 - 32:22) If a bank, if there was a, say for that Federal Reserve, there was a fractional reserve ratio of 10. What that meant was for every dollar they had in their vaults, they could loan out 10. They could, well back then, write numbers into a ledger. (32:22 - 32:51) These days type numbers into a computer and the other $10 would just appear in a thin air, not backed by anything. And this is what Peter and Adrian are talking about with money just being created out of nothing. So looking at that, and then another fact, and I can't remember if this was in your book, gentlemen or not, but it's a little fact that I happen to know is that, and Peter, you were talking about this, the formation of the Federal Reserve and the Fractional Reserve Banking Act and then Income Tax Act. (32:51 - 33:19) The Income Tax Act was passed within six weeks of the Fractional Reserve Banking Act. Because as Peter was explaining, the government needed a way to pay the interest on the imaginary money that the private central bank was loaning to them. So assuming that all of that summary is correct, then the control mechanism here, it's a little different from the CBDCs that people are seeing as being a direct control mechanism over the people. (33:20 - 33:42) What this was, was a way of controlling the governments. They totally control the government because the government had to borrow from the Federal Reserve and the people went along with it because the name federal, they believe this was an official arm of the government. And this is in the minds of the people was a continuation of the government printing money, but now through the Federal Reserve instead of directly. (33:43 - 34:01) Right. So this was really a Hagel's problem reaction solution. There were a number of crises that happened in the economy that were planned before the Federal Reserve Act was passed. (34:01 - 34:12) So God, everyone going, oh my God, the government's incompetent. Let's go and give outsource everything. Let's sell our property to, I'm from Toronto. (34:13 - 34:28) They built the 407 highway and they sold it to a foreign country and they guaranteed that these people get the tax. Canadians, the money doesn't go back to Ontarians. It was sold to a foreign entity. (34:29 - 34:56) So basically they wanted to get more control because Americans were free relatively and also many other countries around the world, the people were demanding the same things as the United States. And one of the things that's very interesting where the Federal Reserve was able to get real control is you want control. You want to go and control and print money. (34:56 - 35:07) If that's what I sell, what do you do? You got a problem, the First World War. Reaction. We need to go and like save liberty and all this stuff. (35:07 - 35:29) And you find out if you read Ralph Smedley, who's one of the great heroes of America that no one knows about, who stopped the United States from becoming a fascist state like Germany and Italy during the 30s. He said the war was a racket. It was a racket. (35:29 - 35:34) So now you have a reaction. We have a reason now to print all this money. You need to find a reason. (35:35 - 36:25) For example, I'll make a very concrete example that ties into let's say the First World War where you need to print a lot of money because you're killing people, right? You're having people fight because I don't know if most of your viewers know that the war almost stopped on December 25th, 1914 because the Germans and the Allies started playing football together. And it was their own leadership that started shooting their own soldiers because they didn't want to kill each other because we're all human, right? We were fighting for like some king or something like that that was a manufactured crisis. So in 2019, Adrian and I independently and other experts, we talked to, I spoke to Ed Dowd. (36:25 - 36:39) All of us started noticing that the overnight markets were freezing. The banks didn't trust each other. We're talking about your Royal Bank, your CIBC, your CitiBank. (36:39 - 36:45) They didn't trust each other. They weren't lending to each other. Interest rates were about like 1%, 2%. (36:45 - 36:51) Like, you know, a year. The 10% overnight. They went to 10%. (36:51 - 37:08) And how do you print a lot of money? Because in essence, they need to go because it's all going to collapse. How do you do it? You have something magical happen. And it happens to be what, Adrian? Well, the COVID narrative. (37:08 - 37:24) Because what happened is, you know, back in 2008, the government bailed out the banks. 2008, the markets were collapsing. And we would have seen the end of the financial system in 2008 if it wasn't for the massive bailouts, the TARP and et cetera. (37:25 - 37:44) So in the States, they had $750 billion bailout for the banks in the States. In Canada, we had a $90 billion bailout where our government took our surplus. I think we had about $50 billion in surplus, added another $40 billion and gave all that money to CMHC to buy all the bad loans on the books of the bank. (37:44 - 38:01) So in Canada, all countries were doing the same thing. So what happened back then, it was government bailouts. This time around, they understood that the public wouldn't have the appetite to use taxpayer money to bail out the system. (38:01 - 38:26) So how convenient to use the COVID narrative. And OK, the overnight lending rate froze, but it is exactly the same time that the whole story of COVID came out. How convenient to launch a worldwide pandemic, shut the economy down, and then start giving money to people at the institutions and start printing money like crazy. (38:26 - 38:34) And that is what they did. Can I add something? Yeah. I'd like to add something to what Adrian's saying. (38:35 - 38:46) So in 2000, if those of you are old enough to remember, before 9-11 and everything, corporations started collapsing. You had Enron, you had Nortel. They started collapsing. (38:47 - 39:00) In 2008, banks started collapsing. The main difference is in 2019, private central banks were starting to collapse. We're talking like the system. (39:00 - 39:20) So you had corporations like Enron, like NYC, and all these big billion-dollar companies, boom, they went bankrupt. And then you had banks that were about to go bankrupt, like AIG was doing all these derivatives and insurance and things like that. They almost went bankrupt and they got the bailout. (39:20 - 39:38) And now you've got central banks. So we're at the end of the fiat system because it only works when people can borrow. And I don't know about most of the people here, but I can share with you that things are so expensive. (39:38 - 39:47) And I feel anemic. It's like the cost of food, the cost of clothing, the cost of housing, everything has gone up so much. So I'm not taking on any more debt. (39:48 - 40:10) And the only way money is created is if they borrow. Because, well, you shared that if you have a dollar, they can lend $9, right? But it's not that. If you give them a dollar, they're able to lend infinite amount of dollars because as of late March, 2020, they took every restrictions of reserves off. (40:10 - 40:19) Yes, because the private central banks now, the fractional reserve ratio is now zero. Yep. So now they can create unlimited amounts of money out of thin air. (40:20 - 40:40) And this is where we can now move to the next step in the sequence, gentlemen, because that system, as you have pointed out, Adrian, in past interviews, it is unsustainable. If you start creating money out of thin air that's not backed by anything, it is going to lose value. As Brett Olin pointed out to me, or maybe it was you, I get these confused. (40:41 - 40:52) When they went off the gold standard in the US, a dollar was worth a dollar. Now it's worth three cents. And eventually it's going to be worth nothing. (40:53 - 41:17) And that is when the system is going to collapse, when that fiat currency is worthless paper and we're getting there. But there's sort of an intermediate step that I think we have to go through first, because it's not just the private central banks. There's other players, major players here, and you talk about them in your book, BlackRock, Vanguard, who own vast swaths of the world. (41:18 - 41:31) And this too is part of the control agenda. So gentlemen, I'm going to give you that as your cue. Well, these companies are all connected to the same people in Davos. (41:31 - 41:54) They're all part of the same, we call the spider's web, the cabal. They are tied to the bankers. And like, for example, BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, even Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, between those four companies, they control roughly 90% of the American stock market. (41:54 - 42:08) They are controlling shareholders. So they can dictate to the companies because they're on the boards, they can dictate to those companies how they can operate. That's how, what's that beer company that went woke? Bud Light. (42:08 - 42:22) Bud Light. They can manipulate the companies into doing what they want to fit their agenda. So they also control, they're the first at the trough to get money cheaper than anybody else. (42:23 - 42:44) So they're at a point now where they're so big for them to continue growing, they have some small businesses, farms, small farms, small mom, pop operators, small multifamily operators. They're at a point where they're basically consuming all the independent businesses. Right. (42:44 - 43:03) So they- I'd like to add, Will. Go ahead. I'd like to add is one thing that we did in the book is when we started doing deep dives into the people we see, it became very clear that all these leaders, they're selected, they have compromised personalities. (43:04 - 43:20) It was, they were good at doing whatever they were doing. For example, I'm Canadian. We had a really good little doggy who would do whatever tricks his controllers would tell him. (43:20 - 43:35) And we saw what happened in the United States with Biden. And if you even dig into Trump, there's some questions, some major questions about his background. You start looking into Elon Musk, all these people, you look into them, you realize they're selected. (43:36 - 43:58) So what we did in the book is we don't give names because what we did with the sleepers, that term people who are asleep, we broke it down into two categories. One were useful idiots. That means there are people say, hey, I'm going, I'm taking the vaccine, I'm supporting this, you should be doing this well, not reading anything. (43:58 - 44:12) And then there's people who we call useful tools, people who know that it's wrong and they still do it. Those are worse to me than the one who's just the idiot who does it. And we talk about sovereigns. (44:12 - 44:29) So getting back to what I was saying, we use the metaphor of the spider's web. We pointed out and we use examples because our book was not about just giving facts. We need to empower people because I was a university prof forever. (44:29 - 44:34) It's like giving you information means nothing. I want you, I need you. We need warriors. (44:34 - 44:55) We need people waking up as quickly as possible because like individually, none of us are gonna do anything. So what we did in the book is we showed the people that you've seen. We use examples, we didn't use politicians, we didn't use groups, we used like the heads of central banks and different people, people that you got to see. (44:55 - 45:10) But we allowed you to go further up the web to see people that you hadn't seen who did more damage. For example, we talk about Greenspan. He was the head of the Federal Reserve and he supposedly created this nightmare. (45:10 - 45:27) He wasn't the most powerful man in the United States. We discovered William Denzer who worked for the CIA from the time he was a student leader and he dematerialized. So your house, everything everybody owns around the world, you don't own it. (45:28 - 45:47) And in the background, this man and his organization took away your ownership first in the United States, then throughout the rest of the world. And we identified that. Now he's closer to the center of the web, but if you can name them or name it, it's not it. (45:48 - 45:57) It's not a certain group. It's not a certain people. It might just be that the fact that like this system is evil. (45:57 - 46:19) But what we did do is I can't tell you about the future, but we can tell you about the past. And Adrian and I looked at the last times this happened and we focused on the one dynasty in China. They were the first documented empire nation, whatever you want to call it in China that went on paper. (46:20 - 46:39) And what ended up happening is when it collapsed, we've all heard about warlords in China back in the 13th, 14th century. And that happened because the one dynasty collapsed because it was printing paper worth nothing. Right. (46:39 - 47:12) So I want to let everyone know that our book is more, it starts with gold, means it starts with de-risking your life, your finances, and rematerializing what's important. Because the question that I remember someone asked once that was so powerful, I think it was Warren Buffett, but I'm not a fan of Warren Buffett. He said that there was this woman who really, he liked, but she was very standoffish and she was a Holocaust survivor. (47:12 - 47:22) And this is the essence of our book. And he finds out why she doesn't want to be friends with Warren Buffett or she's cool. Because she was a Holocaust survivor. (47:22 - 47:53) The question she asked was, would this person hide? And the essence of our book is we want to educate people of what's going on. And we also want to motivate them to come and join communities like I will report, be with people who are similar because when this system crashes and it always crashes, we identified it in Germany. We identified it in the wine dynasty. (47:53 - 48:01) All this crashes. The people who survive are the people who are prepared. Right. (48:01 - 48:21) So once again, gentlemen, I want to draw together a couple of different points that we've talked about, just to summarize for the viewers. So you've got the Federal Reserve, the private central banks, the Fraction Reserve Banking Act, which gives them control over the governments. And then you've got these major holding corporations like BlackRock and Vanguard, which have control over the stock markets and can manipulate those. (48:21 - 48:37) And the purpose of all of this is to transfer wealth into their hands. And before we get into that, I think we have to give people, once again, a very simple explanation, the difference between securities and derivatives. Now, if I get this wrong, gentlemen, correct me because I am no financial expert. (48:38 - 48:47) A security is basically, say, a stock certificate. You own part of something and it actually has value. A derivative is a bet on what it's going to be worth. (48:48 - 49:02) It's an insurance bet on the success or failure of a company. And if you look at the derivatives, there's multiple different types of bets that cover each other. And this is what happened in 2008 when Lehman went under. (49:03 - 49:16) Certain derivatives were starting to unwind and unfold. What happened in 2008 is nothing compared to what we're sitting in on today. All we're waiting is for one black swan, one spark, and it's all going to unravel. (49:17 - 49:31) Right, because as Peter just alluded to, and I was looking for the statistic, as you gentlemen said in your book, the current value of the derivatives market globally is $4 quadrillion. We don't know for sure. It's between two to four quadrillion. (49:31 - 49:36) Somewhere in there. And we've seen both numbers. That's a number that most of us just cannot get our head around. (49:36 - 49:55) I can't. Two to four quadrillion? I guess the only thing I can try to frame that with, and I'm not sure if you gentlemen can even answer this question, but what percentage of the global GDP would that be? Well, 20 to 40 times? 40, bigger, yeah. I thought, sure, 40 times. (49:55 - 50:09) Yeah, at least. 40 times the value of the global gross domestic product. Can I add something, Will? Yes, please. (50:10 - 50:27) What I'd like to add to this is there's nothing backing those derivatives. That's one of the reasons why they have to keep on printing money, because if it stops, if the music stops, there's no tears. It all collapses. (50:27 - 50:38) Let me give you a tangible example. Silver. There's roughly 400 pieces of paper for every ounce of silver. (50:39 - 51:00) Those pieces of paper are derivatives on the silver. So when people want to collect their pieces of paper, only one person is going to get their ounce of silver. I understand that there's, and Warren can correct me at another time, is that there's about 170 contracts for every ounce of gold. (51:00 - 51:19) And what's happening right now with gold is they're trying to cash in their pieces of paper for gold. And so that's why gold is rising, because they're trying to get rid of the paper money. They're afraid that they're not going to be able to collect. (51:20 - 51:33) So the central banks, the bankers that are holding paper, the ETFs that are holding paper, they're all trying to cash it in for gold. So now there's a shortage at the gold exchanges. So there is already a run on gold. (51:34 - 51:57) And it will happen when people figure out that 400 contracts for every ounce, that's going to happen at some point too. Yes. And can I add something to that, Will? We looked at the new cryptocurrencies, even Bitcoin, and we have lots of questions we're going to be talking about in a future conversation with you. (51:57 - 52:16) But when you look at all these derivatives on things that are real, that they might've sold at your house, and this is an example. Will, probably your house has been sold by our government because of the taxation, maybe about a thousand times within derivatives. Like, you know, there's a house, it's real. (52:16 - 52:39) And then they're making all this make-believe stuff on top of them, it's not real. And the thing is, what we do with, it starts with gold is we show people, you know, getting something tangible. The most important things, if things unravel, are family, seeds, skills, useful abilities, and things of that nature. (52:39 - 52:50) Then it's going to be gold. And before, like, these are things that are important. But we used a practical example in Germany before Hitler took over. (52:50 - 53:14) And that should be the lesson because Hitler was a loser. But the system had to collapse so that loser could get in and he would talk about all the, you know, he was a soothsayer, right? That's, and that's how he got in. We looked at the Wilmar Republic in Germany, and Adrian and I one day just took out our calculators and wanted to figure it out. (53:15 - 53:41) Like, what was the cost of a house in 1922? And it was approximately $2,000 US. And if you had sold your house then in 18 months, re-bought houses with the gold, you wouldn't have been able to buy 20 homes. And on top of that, you're, and the homes were worth probably like a billion dollars, like at that point, like a billion marks. (53:41 - 54:04) It was crazy back then. The same thing as if you were to go to Zambia, Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, if you were to go to Venezuela and things like that, if you sold everything and then you went back to be, you sell your house and you'd be able to buy the block. And these are the things that Adrian and I started focusing on like, don't buy the paper. (54:05 - 54:22) And I just wanna share, I wanna share something going back to the book and how we started writing the book. The reason Adrian was taking off, and this is when I identified, all the banks were saying, okay, you wanna buy gold? We'll give you paper. We'll give you paper. (54:23 - 54:35) And Adrian was saying, no, I will get you the physical thing. I will get you the physical thing. And I know well that you're an advocate, you're a gold bug. (54:36 - 54:59) You can have the physical thing. So all these people that have 400 pieces of paper that they'll go to the bank or they'll go to the broker and say, hey, please give me my stuff. It's gonna be no different than the 1933 bank run that put 9,000 banks across America and who knows how many in Canada because I don't know those stats. (54:59 - 55:14) Because when people went in with their IOUs, guess what they found? There was nothing except their debts. So you want to get tangible things and you wanna do it. And Adrian should be talking about this. (55:14 - 55:36) About a structure that we put together. And I've shared it on Will's show before is owning assets in order of asset destruction. So gentlemen, my questions have been leading to a point and I chose the questions carefully because what I'm trying to do is in the space of one, roughly one hour interview, encapsulate the point of your book. (55:36 - 55:52) So let me summarize what we've gone over. And once again, if I'm getting this wrong, please correct me. We talked about the private central banks, the Fractional Reserve Banking Act, which has resulted in money being created out of thin air. (55:52 - 56:09) Money that has no real value. It's not backed by anything. Then we talked about Vanguard and BlackRock and the manipulation of the stock market and the derivatives out there between two and four quadrillion dollars that are 40 times the gross domestic product of the entire world. (56:09 - 56:17) Once again, nothing behind it. It has no value. There's one more piece of information the viewers need to know. (56:18 - 56:54) And that's the FDIC and the CDIC, the insurance corporations that supposedly insure the money that you've deposited in the bank, except they don't have even a fraction of the value of what is in those deposits. It's less, I believe when I looked up the CDIC, it is less than 0.02% of what is actually in the deposits. And so the conclusion that we come to is what these spiders, as you call them, the globalists have done over the last 100 plus years is they've created a financial system that's smoke and mirrors. (56:55 - 57:05) It's nothing. It has no value. And this brings us back to, it starts with gold, physical assets that actually have real value. (57:06 - 57:28) And Adrian, there's your cue. We've touched upon them in previous shows, but I've been talking about a concept that we developed, that I've developed through rebuilding my practice within the movement is that owning assets in order of asset confiscation. Because at the end of the day, they're going to confiscate our assets because we're not physical owners of our assets. (57:29 - 57:34) We are beneficial owners. That's already in place. What you want to be is ahead of the collapse. (57:34 - 57:44) So you have money in the bank, in bank savings, that's subject to bail-in. So that's high risk. And then you've got your bonds, which are the next level. (57:45 - 58:05) If it's held in a brokerage account, if the bank goes under, in the States, there are a lot of smaller banks that are going under. The bigger ones haven't yet. But at some point, our Canadian banks are going to go under your stocks and bonds if they're held in a brokerage account or co-mingled with the assets of the broker. (58:05 - 58:20) So those assets are now subject to not bail-in, but they're the collateral of the bank, not you. So in bankruptcy, those assets will be held on behalf of the bank, not you. And you get a piece of paper. (58:20 - 58:50) And at some point, you might get assets, pennies on the dollar of what's left over on those assets. So the next level would be working on, if you're still investing in stocks and bonds, is owning it or investing in a private portfolio with a private portfolio manager that uses a custodial wall or a trusteeship so that your assets are yours. They're not lent out as collateral for use by other institutions. (58:51 - 59:03) You own them. So there's a wall there. Another layer would be then owning, I'm looking, excuse me, I'm going in order of security, so to the most secure at the bottom. (59:03 - 59:26) So the next level would be owning income-producing hard assets like multifamily rental properties, like storage units, like infrastructure, like things that generate, that you have a share ownership in with a group of people, a syndication. So that's a hard asset. That's the next level. (59:26 - 59:48) So as things collapse, those assets will be the last asset standing. And then ultimately, if things continue to collapse, gold, physical ownership, whether in a vault or private, it's going to be difficult to have your net worth all sitting in your home or in the ground. So you really have to go to a vaulting service that's audited. (59:49 - 1:00:21) I wanted to add to Adrian because it really depends on the individual. We know that physical, tangible are most important. I have a bias towards mutual life insurance companies because unlike stock-traded companies, such as RBC or Sunlight, the owners of the policies and of the instruments, they own the company. (1:00:21 - 1:00:55) And what happened, which part of the greed that happened is all these CEOs of insurance companies, back in the 90s, they were making pit ends because the president of Manulife, before he demutualized, he made $600,000 a year, which was a good living. But the next year, when they demutualized the company, he made $15 million. So basically the interests of those companies became controlled by the stock market. (1:00:55 - 1:01:07) So when it comes to assets of confiscation, it's always physical. And it goes down to personal too. And then it goes to, you want custodial assets. (1:01:07 - 1:01:35) It's in your name, not in somebody else's name. You want tangible things that earn you income. And if you're going to be in regular types of investments, you want life insurance owned by, like produced by mutual life insurance companies, owned by the policy owners, because they are required to have more reserves. (1:01:35 - 1:01:44) Remember when we were talking about the banks need no reserves? That didn't happen to insurance companies. They have to have reserves. They didn't even get that luxury. (1:01:45 - 1:02:03) And isn't it interesting? They don't sound sexy. What's sexy when the world is falling apart? Does you nothing. I want the most conservative person on the block who has a ton of ammunition and rifles when the world goes to hell. (1:02:03 - 1:02:13) Right. So the point we've reached gentlemen, and I'm hoping that this is what we've gotten across to the viewers. The current financial system is a house of cards. (1:02:13 - 1:02:51) It is going to collapse. Donald Trump's efforts to rescue the value of the US dollar aside, it might buy us a little time, but it doesn't matter because the system itself is set up in such a way that eventually those fiat dollars have to become worthless. And when that happens, when the entire system collapses, the only real security will be, as you gentlemen pointed out, things that have actual value that you want to share in or actual things, real tangible assets like precious metals, because the rest of it is just going to go up in smoke. (1:02:53 - 1:03:08) Exactly. What Trump is doing right now with the tariffs is really a last ditch effort to make the world do business with the US dollar manufacturing in the US to save the dollar. And ultimately that's going to fail because he's going to collapse the world economies. (1:03:09 - 1:03:27) The global economies are going to be beholden to the US and once the world is in crisis, the US is going to be in crisis as well. So it's a last ditch effort that might look good for a couple of years and people are cheering it on, but they're cheering on their own demise. I just want to share something, Will. (1:03:27 - 1:03:47) One of the things that we're covering in last asset standing is that there's other fundamental issues that are happening. We've had, for example, in Canada for over 50 years, we have not had replacement. I mean, women having 2.2 children. (1:03:48 - 1:04:19) In essence, this is happening throughout the world and you need people who are consumers to keep this system going. In a Ponzi scheme, which this is, you need more and more people. Well, right now, the only country in the world, which is a G20 nation that's replacing it, sorry, a G7 nation that's replacing their generation from the baby boomers, happens to be the United States. (1:04:19 - 1:04:33) So all these countries are beheld to the United States. 93% of what the United States produces stays within the American economy. No other economy has that, but it doesn't really matter at the end of the day. (1:04:34 - 1:04:38) Dollars aren't real. They're not tangible. They're pieces of paper. (1:04:38 - 1:04:58) They're not even produced or backed by the US government. All this stock paper that people actually have that happen to be held at a bank, those are not segregated from the bank. We share in the book about Lehman Brothers, the company that set off the 2008 crisis. (1:04:58 - 1:05:17) When they went bankrupt, JP Morgan was a secured creditor and they also were the trustee. So guess what happened? They got paid and no one else did. A little tidbit, JP Morgan was the benefactor of the banks that were collapsing in the 30s. (1:05:17 - 1:05:43) JP Morgan is one of those institutions that is there to scoop up all the assets as after every bank foreclosure failure, et cetera. So again- They're frights. All the banks out there are frights, just like we've discovered during COVID, all these tech companies were basically implementing things on behalf of powers that we don't know of. (1:05:43 - 1:06:24) And the point that we make in the book is we don't know who these people are or if there are people, if it just happens to be a system that basically is meant to crash. What we do make the point is that you need to take control of your life and that means rematerialize. And gold is both practical, something physical, and at the same time, gold is also a metaphor for de-risking your life, de-risking your finances, and rematerializing with things that are important, things that I can touch, relationships, and things that are going to benefit me and my family. (1:06:24 - 1:06:35) And it's called simplicity. All this stuff that's being sold like cryptocurrency and all that stuff, it's just repackaging. It's just repackaging. (1:06:35 - 1:06:43) There's nothing changed. There's no difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi. They're owned by all the same companies. (1:06:43 - 1:06:54) They don't care if this loses share, that one. They're scared that Cola is going to lose share. They don't care if this one does better or that one because they own everything. (1:06:54 - 1:07:14) So the point is, our book, we need your assistance to the readers to get this information out because we need to educate as many people as possible because it's going to happen. And Adrian and I are not young people. And well, I don't know. (1:07:14 - 1:07:19) I'm not going to go and ask how old you are. But I know we're not young people. Well, I'm 60, gentlemen. (1:07:19 - 1:07:24) So I'm not young either. You're between us. All right. (1:07:24 - 1:07:34) So we've come to a very important point here. We've revealed that the current financial system is a house of cards. It is going to collapse. (1:07:36 - 1:08:02) And if people do not get a hold of some kind of asset that has real value, when it happens, they're going to find themselves flat broke with nothing. But here's the really important thing, as Peter was just referring to. If we have enough educated people who actually do own things of value so that they can survive that, they become the ones who can resist the control mechanism that's going to follow it. (1:08:03 - 1:08:22) And we're going to talk about that in our next interview on CBDCs because they will actually have real wealth. And so gentlemen, to close out this interview, I'm going to ask you both for your final thoughts for the viewers. Adrian, would you go first, please? My final thoughts is you need to take action for yourself. (1:08:22 - 1:08:29) You need to find your community. You need to start educating yourself of what is really going on. And for those in our community, we already know. (1:08:30 - 1:09:05) And I think we all need to do our part to educate our family as difficult as it is, to educate our friends and to be bold and spread the word that things are not as it seems and that we are headed for some tough times. Peter? I want to invite all your viewers to join us on It Starts With Gold. And I want to share with the viewers what is very frightening is under the control mechanism, our book is being censored. (1:09:05 - 1:09:21) We've had over a few dozen people who wrote reviews on our book on Amazon and they haven't gone up. And we've reached out and the message is being censored. However, the book is being purchased. (1:09:22 - 1:09:40) We price It Starts With Gold at $0.99 Canadian and $0.99 American. We've given it cheaper because we are Canadian and we know how tight things are right now because the message is more important than the men. Because as all of us agreed, we are not young men. (1:09:41 - 1:09:48) I like to see better days. But right now, I've benefited. I've enjoyed a life. (1:09:48 - 1:10:16) I remember the Canada that I love and I cry for it every day. And Will, we brought this up before when I'd stare at that flag. That makes me sad because that is a symbol of a country that we grew up in that our children and our grandchildren will only know if you become informed and then you can make choices that are right for you, right for your community. (1:10:16 - 1:10:38) And what Adrian and I hope through It Starts With Gold is that it starts you on your journey to take back control of your life. Folks, I hope that you take this interview to heart because as we've said, that financial collapse is coming. It is unavoidable. (1:10:38 - 1:10:47) And as a piece of history, fiat currencies in history have always collapsed eventually. No exceptions. It always happens because it's just worthless paper. (1:10:48 - 1:10:58) Now, both of these gentlemen talked about communities. And so here I'm going to give a little plug for one of our own efforts here at The Iron Wire. Freedomcomms.org, the Freedom Communities and Communications Network. (1:10:58 - 1:11:07) We are building in-person freedom communities across Canada while we protect your privacy. It took quite a while to figure out how we would do that. You can join absolutely free. (1:11:07 - 1:11:27) It only takes a minute and you can start connecting with other people in your local area to build these freedom communities We've got one here in Calgary that meets every Wednesday night. About 30 people show up every Wednesday night, different people. These communities are going to become so important when this system collapses because you are going to have a support network. (1:11:27 - 1:11:34) Freedomcoms.org, completely free to join. Gentlemen, thank you so much for your time today. For the book you've written, it's very important. (1:11:35 - 1:11:44) And folks, you will find links to It Starts With Gold to the book and the website directly beneath this interview. Gentlemen, thank you. Thank you, Will. (1:11:44 - 1:11:44) Thank you.
