January 2009

As we see the changes being wrought in our country perhaps it�s time to pause and reconsider our position. We have certainly over spent and over extended our credit, both individually and as a nation. So now what are we going to do about it? That�s a question for each of us to consider.

I know there are ones who believe the government should get us out of this situation. There are others who believe we should get ourselves out. Maybe it�s a combination of both that would work best. I don�t know the correct answer. I do know that to the extent possible we should do everything we can to insure the provision and well being of our families and ourselves.

That hasn�t changed, but how we do it has. We have come to depend so much on the government that in order to get re-elected our representatives� feel compelled to borrow money and give us things. If someone comes along and suggest what we could do without some of the services the government gives us they wouldn�t possibly get elected. Look at the case of Ron Paul. He told the truth, which we are experiencing now, and he couldn�t even get into the debates because his message was not popular. We don�t want the truth, we want more of whatever it is we are getting. This certainly isn�t everybody, but it is a majority.

I have an idea. If those who want to do something different and who want to chart their own course would have a small direct sales business it could change the economic dynamics for the whole nation. There are many kinds of business available. Some are online, some are door to door, and some are marketing at home parties. There is a plethora of opportunities. If you think the idea has merit spend a few minutes at SoHoMatic. You will get information that will help you make a considered decision.

Then you can find something online. You may already have an online business. If that�s the case you probably need leads. Veretekk is the best place I know to build a solid database of premium leads but I recently came across another program that uses Skype to gather leads. The name of the program is Messenger Magic. It takes some time to learn about it but Skype is free and the program is either free or a small fee to upgrade to participate in an affiliate program.

As I see it anything we can do to add some income to our budget will make a difference. We are told that most personal bankruptcies could be avoided if the family had an additional $200-$300 a month. That�s a good starting place then let it grow into a full time income if it�s wanted. We can make a difference on our national economy one family at a time. I know there are millions of us but there is much power in the masses. If we individually change our directions the nation will have to follow our lead.

Sincerely,

Being a Veretekk Trainer

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 05:18:04 GMT

I've been a trainer with Veretekk for some time now. It's a truly enjoyable activity to help others learn about Veretekk. I'm writing this short note to encourage others to do the same. There are a couple of benefits that are unnoticed if you are not a trainer. One is the idea that a trainer is experienced in marketing online and therefore perhaps carries with it a sense that they can be trusted. After all, one of the key parts of working with Vertekk is to be able to expand our sphere of influence on the internet. Being a trainer helps that. Another benefit is that you will get a Gold system to use at no charge. That can be a real blessing if funding your online business activity is an issue. Perhaps the best part of being a trainer is the sense that you are helping others. It just feels good to help someone better understand this great marketing tool. David Tampien Veretrainer

America is in debt!

Thu, 08 May 2008 08:02:25 GMT

This is a reprint from Chuck Missler�s K-House Newsletter.

KNEE DEEP IN DEBT - (Print)

"The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."
- Proverbs 22:7

The traditional American Dream, especially for those of us who grew up in families that survived the depression of the 1930s, was to have a home "free and clear" of any mortgages. The security of a debt-free home was the goal of every family in the 20th-centuryUnited States, however that is changing. Being in debt has become a way of life for many Americans. Recent economic data shows that consumer debt, particularly credit card debt, is on the rise. The stigma once associated with debt is gone, and it has become the norm to borrow money even for every day items like gasoline and groceries

The United States has become a nation of debtors. In recent years the level of household debt in America has surpassed the level of household income, so for the first time in our collective history we owe more money than we make. Consumer debt in America has risen to a record high of more than 2.5 trillion dollars. Today the average US household has more than $9,000 in credit card debt and spends more than $1,300 a year in interest payments. Meanwhile, the national debt (the amount of money owed by the US government) has surpassed 9 trillion dollars � and is increasing at a rate of about $1.40 billion per day.

"Debt is so ingrained into our culture that most Americans can't even envision a car without a payment, a house without a mortgage, a student without a loan, and credit without a card. We've been sold debt with such repetition and with such fervor that most folks can't conceive of what it would be like to have no payments," says Dave Ramsey, a well-known talk radio host and Christian financial counselor. While many Americans have become accustomed to making monthly payments, the truth is that debt is contrary to God's plan for our lives. The scripture clearly says the borrower is slave to the lender - God would have us free of that kind of bondage. Getting out of debt is one of the four basic steps of what we call "the Vortex Strategy."

The Vortex Strategy

Money is one of the most important inventions of humankind. Without it, a complex, modern economy based on division of labor, and the consequent widespread exchange of goods and services, would be impossible. Unfortunately, many experts believe we are on the verge of a financial crisis. In recent years the value of the US dollar has dropped significantly, inflation has increased, consumer debt has reached an all-time high, and the US housing market has become dangerously unstable.

It is impossible to predict what exactly the coming months will bring, yet we need to be prepared both practically and spiritually. Anyone that presumes that the coming 12 to 24 months are going to be smooth sailing just hasn't done their homework. It is clear we are facing turbulent times ahead. So if the United States is indeed facing a financial crisis, what should we do about it? How can we prepare for times of economic uncertainty? What does the Bible say about our financial stewardship? Chuck tackles these tough questions in his new briefing titled The Vortex Strategy (click on the link to learn more).

The content of Chuck�s letter fits directly into what I�ve been sharing with you. We need have options about our financial life. When it comes to saving, gold and silver are safe havens for your money so it won�t be depleted from inflation. If you have a mortgage you need to get it paid off soon so you can become totally debt free.

If you choose to have a home business to back up your day job you need something like Veretekk to help you develop a data base of qualified buyers.

Sincerely,

David Tampien

Hyperinflationary Depression

Until now, I have given equal credence to two possible scenarios:

We could have several years of inflation as we do now, and the powers-that-be would have a sudden rush of brains to the head, like Paul Volcker and Ronald Reagan did in 1980, and stop the �printing press,� ending inflation and the gold and silver bull market, for at least a few years; or
It is too late to stop it. The political forces and the Unfunded Liabilities would prevent the powers-that-be from ending the money-printing process, and in fact, would grossly accelerate it. This would result in a hyper inflation (400 percent inflation or more), and the eventual total destruction of the dollar. Suddenly America would find its money totally useless. Store shelves would be empty, gas would go through the stratosphere, and Americans would suffer through the greatest threat since the Great Depression of the �30s.

So what caused me to settle on number two?

I received John Williams' recent newsletter �Shadow Government Statistics,� www.shadowstats.com in which he describes his case for a hyper-inflationary depression. It was most persuasive. It certainly persuaded me, and is consistent with what I�ve said for years.

I spent the '70s fending off the media label of "Prophet of Doom," arguing that I expected much less than doom. It turned out to be so.

With my new book in circulation, I�ll face the same accusations, and this time they are right. The financial world we know and love is facing genuine doom. You could lose the value of all your assets in the stock market. You could find yourself unable to buy essential commodities, when you want them, and gold and silver will be valued, not in the tens or hundreds of dollars per ounce, but in the thousands!

John Williams� Shadow Government Statistics newsletter is most unusual. John is a consulting economist with all of the academic credentials. Most of his clients are bank officers and high-ranking corporate officers. He has rearranged the government data according to historical analysis.

For example, the government says inflation is under four percent by the simple expedient of eliminating energy and food from their calculations. John says inflation is over 11 percent, including energy and food.

His academic credentials are way ahead of mine, but at least I know enough to understand his work. It�s my job to try to reduce such things to terms my subscribers can grasp.

Here are some brief paragraphs from this 25-page report.

�With the creation of massive amounts of new fiat (not backed by gold) dollars will come the eventual complete collapse of the value of the U.S. dollar and related dollar-denominated paper assets.�

" �a law professor at Harvard and The University of California, Berkeley, who experienced the Weimar Republic hyperinflation, said, 'It was horrible. Horrible! Like lightning it struck. No one was prepared. You cannot imagine the rapidity with which the whole thing happened. The shelves in the grocery stores were empty. You could buy nothing with your paper money."'

��the still-unfolding banking solvency crisis has confirmed the Fed�s and the U.S. government�s willingness to spend whatever money they have to create in order to keep the financial system from imploding.�

" The circumstance envisioned ahead is not one of double- or triple- digit annual inflation, but more along the lines of seven- to 10-digit inflation seen in other circumstances during the last century."

�The historical culprit generally has been the use of fiat currencies - currencies with no asset backing such as gold - and the resulting massive printing of currency that the issuing authority needed to support its system, when it did not have the ability, otherwise, to raise enough money forits perceived needs, through taxes or other means.�

�The United States is no exception, already having obligated itself to liabilities well beyond its ability ever to pay off.�

�Hyperinflation: Extreme inflation, minimally in excess of four-digit annual percent change, where the involved currency becomes worthless. A fairly crude definition of hyperinflation is a circumstance, where, due to extremely rapid price increases, the largest pre-hyperinflation bank note ($100) becomes worth more as functional toilet paper than as currency.�

"The current economic contraction is about halfway towards being classified as a 'depression.'"

"Official CPI could be running in double-digits by year-end 2008."

�The U.S. economy has been in a recession since late-2006, entering the second down-leg of a multiple-dip economic contraction, where the first down-leg was the recession of 2001 that really began back in late-1999. Annual CPI inflation currently is running around 11.6%, again, facing further upside pressures.�

�The evolving depression quickly will move to great-depression status, when the hyperinflation hits. It will be extremely disruptive to the conduct of normal commerce.�

�Ongoing M3 currently shows a record annual growth rate of 17.3%.�

"In the near future, dollar selling should build towards an extreme, with heavy foreign investment in the dollar fleeing the U.S. currency for safety elsewhere. With the domestic financial markets and U.S. Treasuries so heavily dependent on foreign capital for liquidity, the Federal Reserve - now touted as the formal financial market stabilizer - will be forced increasingly to monetize federal debt. That process will build over time, given the federal government�s effective bankruptcy."

�Again, the current circumstance will evolve into a hyperinflationary depression, then a great depression. Although such is not likely much before 2010, or after 2018, the financial end game for the current markets will tend to come sooner rather than later and will break with surprising speed when it hits.�

�2008 will favor an incumbent party loss, i.e. a victory for the Democrats.�

�What promises hyperinflation this time is the lack of monetary discipline formerly imposed on the system by the gold standard, and a Fed dedicated to preventing a collapse in the money supply and the implosion of the still, extremely over-leveraged domestic financial system.�

�The limits to the unlimited abuse of the debt standard are particularly evident in the GAAP-based financial statements of the U.S. government, which show the actual federal deficit at $4.0-plus trillion for 2007 alone, with total federal obligations standing at $62.6 trillion. With no ability to honor these obligations, the government effectively is bankrupt.�

"Although the U.S, government faces ultimate insolvency, it has the same way out taken by most countries faced with bankruptcy. It can print whatever money it needs to create, in order to meet its obligations. The effect of such action is a runaway inflation - a hyperinflation - with a resulting, full debasement of the U.S. dollar, the world�s reserve currency.�

�Oil prices are near historic highs, the dollar is near historic lows, and money growth is at an all-time high. The near-term outlook for all three is for new record levels and for extremely strong upside pressure on U.S. inflation. � gold prices should continue setting new historic highs.�

�The difference is in accounting � for unfunded Social Security and Medicare liabilities.�

�Put into perspective, if the government were to raise taxes so as to seize 100% of all wages, salaries and corporate profits, it still would be showing an annual deficit using GAAP accounting on a consistent basis. In like manner, given current revenues, if it stopped spending every penny (including defense and homeland security) other than Social Security and Medicare obligations, the government still would show an annual deficit.�

�U.S. federal obligations are so huge versus the national GDP that the country�s finances look more like those of a banana republic than the world�s premiere financial power and home to the world�s primary reserve currency, the U.S. dollar.�

�The effect of this structural change has been that most consumers have been unable to sustain adequate income growth beyond the rate of inflation, unable to maintain their standard of living. The only way personal consumption can grow in such a circumstance is for the consumer to take on new debt or liquidate savings. Both those factors are short-lived and have reached untenable extremes.�

�From the Fed�s standpoint, it can neither stimulate the economy nor contain inflation. Lowering rates has done little to stimulate the structurally-impaired economy, and raising rates may become necessary in defense of the dollar.�

�By the time hyperinflation kicks in, the economy already should be in depression, and the hyperinflation quickly should pull the economy into a great depression. Uncontained inflation is likely to bring normal commercial activity to a halt.�

Hyperinflationary Great Depression

�In the United States, the printing presses have not been revved up heavily yet, but the commitments are in place, as seen in the annual GAAP-based deficit running on average more than $4.0 trillion per year. That amount is far beyond the ability of the government to tax or the political willingness of the government to cut entitlement spending. While the inevitable inflationary collapse, based solely on these funding needs, could be pushed well into the next decade, actions already taken likely have set the stage for a much earlier crisis.�

�It is this environment that leaves the U.S. dollar open to potentially such a rapid and massive decline, and dumping of U.S. Treasuries, that the Federal Reserve would be forced to monetize significant sums of Treasury debt, triggering the early phases of a monetary inflation. In this environment annual multi-trillion-dollar deficits rapidly would feed into a vicious, self-feeding cycle of currency debasement and hyperinflation.�

�Given the extremely rapid debasement of the larger denomination notes, with limited physical cash in the system, existing currency would disappear quickly as a hyperinflation broke. From a practical standpoint, however, currency would disappear, at least for a period of time in the early period of a hyperinflation.�

�Barter System. With standard currency and electronic payment systems non-functional, commerce quickly would devolve into black markets for goods and services and a barter system.�

�Gold and silver both are likely to retain real value and would be exchangeable for goods and services. Silver would help provide smaller change for less costly transactions.�

�In such a circumstance, gold and silver would be primary hedging tools that would retain real value and also be portable in the event of possible civil turmoil. Also, at some point, the failure of the world�s primary reserve currency will lead to the structuring of a new global currency system. I would not be surprised to find gold as part of the new system, in an effort to sell the system to the public.�

�I still look for U.S. stocks to take an ultimate 90% hit, peak-to-trough, net of inflation, during this period.�

Ruff Times subscribers who accept John�s scenario have no downside! At the worst, if Scenario number one occurs, they will make tons of money in gold and silver, then we will eventually put out a sell order and the world will return to relatively normal. If I and John Williams are right, it will literally save your current lifestyle, and perhaps even your lives.

Why would you want opt in leads?

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:18:21 GMT

Why do you want opt in leads? Why would you want double opt in leads? Why would you want mlm leads? You want them so you can email them without spamming them. You want people in your data base who actually want to hear what you have to share with them. Isn�t that right?

You can generate your own opt in leads with the free tools available to you from a 10 year old company that dominates the internet. If this interests you check out this site and see if it will work to help you promote your primary business. After all that�s what this system is all about, namely to help you expand your �sphere of influence� on the internet and build and develop personal and business relationships.

The chief benefit to having your own list of exclusive premium opt in leads is that you can communicate with them without concern that you would be charged with spam. These people chose to be on your list because they saw something of interest in what you initially sent them. And what you offered to them is a free tool they could use to build their own business.

Do you understand economics?

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 08:45:53 GMT

Most Americans and maybe even folks from around the world don't understand economics. I know that I didn't learn about it in school. Since I've discovered silver and gold I've made a point of learning more about how our economy works. I still have much to learn but every day I learn more. Now I have a strong desire to help others learn about it.

I speak mostly to ones who live in the United States because that's where I live. What I'm learning applies to the US but since our economies are linked globally it also applies in some degree to everyone. Let's deal first with basics. American is a consumer driven economy. What we buy accounts for about 70% of our GNP. When we slow down our buying our economy slows down. We are raised on commercials that encourage us to spend our money. Banks and other institutions encourage us to get credit cards and max them out so we pay large amounts of money on interest. Our savings rate is somewhere below zero. We have functioned on debt so long it's hard to imagine living any other way. But to survive we must.

Capitalist who become wealthy do so by living below their means. On average we spend $101 for every$100 we earn. That is not a good formula to develop wealth. Creating wealth is really quite simple. Spend less than you earn and invest the difference. That�s it! And yet for those of us raised on the idea that we need more money rather than being a good steward of what we have been given it seems difficult.

There is an excellent video available here that will explain what �Rich people do on payday�. It outlines what I have just said in a most unforgettable way and will help you get started on your road to wealth. Keep in mind that wealth in just not more money it�s money that can work for you. It is money you don�t spend but rather invest.

About 25 % of Americans invest in the stock market. You may already be doing that, either directly or thorough your 401K or company retirement program. You can do more by adding some precious metals to what you are now doing. Gold and Silver both increase in value as the dollar loses value. So now is a good time to use them as part of your portfolio.

Many people tell me that they would like to invest and will do it when they have more money. That misses the point. There is always enough money if you spend less than you earn. Most any of us can get by on less if we just stop spending our money on things and stuff. If we only spend our money on basic essentials there will be some left over. Even today, unless you have had substantial raises over the years, you are living on less than you did ten years ago. As the dollar loses value the prices of what you buy goes up. Wages don�t generally go up at the same rate so today your money buys less.

This might be a good time to consider owning a small internet business of your own. There are many to choose from and most will require that you have a data base of potential prospects to market to. Thousands of businesses around the world use a system that�s been developing double opt in leads for over ten years. You might want to check it out. It�s working for me. In fact that�s why you are reading this. You only get this information if you are in my system.

A Case for Gold...

Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:05:32 GMT

A Case for Gold and a Tool for mining

During the 1849 California Gold Rush more people made money selling tools to the miners than made money digging or panning for gold. So I have a tool you can use to get more gold from your businesss.

I just signed up for Leadsomatic in my Veretekk system. I have only recently learned how valuable the service is. Of course, there is a free Leadsomatic system but I�m talking about the upgraded one. The cost is only $10 a month and when other people sign up to use your service you get paid $2 each.

So what does the Leadsomatic system do for you? Well, I�m getting ready to tell you. Many people who use it think it�s for blasting out your ad all over the internet, and it does do that. But the real reason to use the system is to develop back links and advance your site in the Search Engines.

If you have a business online and you want to get your site up in Google this might be a simple tool you want to take a look at. You can use it everyday and think of it as another tool in your tool box. Check around on the internet and you�ll see that Leadsomatic is a very popular item.

As you earn more income from your business you also should add some Gold or Silver to your investments. You have probably seen how both of them have increased considerable in value the last few months. They go up in value in direct proportion to the devaluing of the dollar.

Check it out and let me know if you�d like to know more about either one of these ideas I�ve mentioned.

Veretekk adds more options

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 09:54:46 GMT

The longer I'm around Veretekk the more I'm impressed with the ideas and programs developed. Most recently Blastomatic will now become a profit portal. By paying a small fee it will be possible to download 150,000 leads into your system so they can be verified. This is perhaps the simplest way to add more leads at a minimal cost.

It's not surprise that the system is growing. We have always been told that the plan is for growth. The more profit portals avaliable the more streams of income become possible. And so it grows. We have Leadsomatic, VereConference, Blastomatic, and Free FFAs that can all earn a residual income. All this is in addition to whatever we do in our own primary business.

So I'm writiing this to encourage you to take another look at a Veretekk Gold System. You can start with a free Silver system and after you have seen the value of upgrading, move forward and get the Gold.

Why Buy Silver and Gold

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 12:14:27 GMT

Why buy Silver or Gold?

�

As the Fed keeps adding money to the economy the dollar continues to lose value. That is the same as a tax of the working people of this country. In fact anyone holding dollars anywhere in the world is feeling and seeing the effects of the diminished value dollar.

What�s the solution � Wise investors move some of their money into precious metals at times like this. Normal folks tend to think that only the rich can afford gold and silver but that�s just not true.� I took some of the money in my 401K and bought gold and silver with it. Even though it was in a (or several) mutual fund I was losing money.

If you are new to investing you can learn from the internet � I�ve only been investing for about 6 months, but I have learned much from using Google and entering search words like money, gold, silver, investing, inflation economy etc. I�ll also give you some excellent sources I�ve found. Many experts share willingly of their years of experience and wisdom.

Don�t believe the stories about, �it�s too late to invest into Gold and Silver�. � Listen to the experts and you will see that precious metals are in a strong bull market and the opportunity for additional growth is excellent. More important though is the fact that your money is safe in gold and silver. It�s a hedge against inflation and the falling dollar. Someone said, �You don�t get rich with gold and silver, you keep from becoming poor�.

The time is coming and now is when the US economy is on unstable ground. Build your wealth on a solid foundation. Make gold and silver a part of your personal portfolio of wealth.

. There are a number of places to buy gold and silver. I chose to buy mine at Public Gold because they sell memberships. It�s kind of like a Sam�s Club for the precious metals market. The membership makes it possible to buy your gold and silver at dealer prices. They also have a long history of serving the public.

You will find an excellent video with Robert Kyosoki and Mike Maloney discussing predictions for 2008. One of the key parts of their strategy is to use silver and gold. The video is here .

Is inflation rising prices? or something else?

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:29:48 GMT

It's not uncommon to think of inflation as indicated by rising prices. In fact inflation often causes rising prices but they are the effect and not the cause. Inflation is the result of the Federal Reserve expanding the money supply. By the way the Federal Reserve is neither federal nor does it have reserves. You can learn more about it with Google and enter federal reserve. But I digress

A money system that is only made of paper is called "fiat". Fiat money is defined as Money that a government has declared to be legal tender, despite the fact that it has no intrinsic value and is not backed by reserves. Since it has nothing backing it up those who create it, i.e. the government and federal reserve have no restraints on how much they can make or print. Nowadays it doesn't have to be printed it's just a journal entry or computer adding zeros to an existing figure. You will find much information about this in the internet.

So while you work hard for the money you earn there are those who needing money just make more of it. Then when that money is added to the economy it dilutes the value of your money. So you have to pay more to get what you used to get for less. That's why savvy investors use gold and silver to compensate for the lost value on the dollar.

You might ask how that can be. Well as the dollar loses value it takes more of them to buy say an ounce of gold or silver so their value goes up in relation to the dollar. Actually, most money in the world is "fiat" money and so this affect happens not only in the United States but in many other economies around the world.

I encourage you to look into the possibility of adding precious metals to your investments. If you have money in a savings account you might want to consider using some gold or silver to protect your future. I've found that an excellent plact to buy is at www.PublicGold.com/abundantlife

You can also get a good idea of what's ahead by watching the Kiyosaki video at www.silverandgold4u.net

God bless you, David Tampien

Inflation is a tax on the working class

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 08:33:31 GMT

Silver and Gold have been real money for thousands of years. Our financial system, in the US, is now a fiat currency, paper money, with no backing. There is nothing supporting the value of the dollar except the good faith of the government. As it stands today the good faith of the government is in question. I'm only now beginning to realize that the government, any government is not the friend of the people being governed. It is more like our enemy because sooner or later, and more often sooner it will attempt to gain more and more control over the governed.

Inflation is the result of the government, central bank, printing more and more money. Since there is nothing backing the currency there is no limit to how much paper money can be printed. So we have moreinflation, and the inflation pressure increases as the amount of money increases. What can we do to fight inflation?

Buy silver and gold with any money you have available.
