In life, real life (not this politically correct utopia brainwash content they are force-feeding our children with in school to cripple their minds) is truly, absolutely survival of the fittest. Make no mistake intellectual battle lines are drawn and at the end of the day there are two educations a child gets today: School and Home.
At school children are taught that if they play along with the group, all is well, they’ll get good grades and if they say no to drugs, fall on bended knee before the teachers they will make it. A child’s education at home must be about applications, strategy and considering the public education game a playground. Understand that when you send your child to school they are submerged in a ‘follow the leader’ subculture that goes like this: go to class, study, ready, test well and put your napkin on your lap at lunch get into college and get that piece of paper that convinces intellectual halfwits that you’re qualified for that $30k paper pusher job, fall in line with the student loan suffocation mechanism to allow the government to take their piece of the action and you’ll be fine.
As parents, we need to have a strong, updated comprehension of this because we place our children in a position where they are tied down and force-fed by self proclaimed intellectual scholars yet the reality is they teach because they cannot do (yes I know I’ve said this before but keep reading). Those who can apply the tactics taught in school go from tactician to strategist. A strategist is able to apply the tactics studied in university class rooms to their current and immediate environment, ‘teachers’ also referred to as ‘tacticians’ cannot.
Train your children in the Machiavellian ways that have been demonized by those who are afraid to lose control but mastered by those in control. Throughout elementary and high school training it is your job as a parent to show your child how to apply what they are learning in school as the instructor as their educational facility is unable to do this as they are a tactician not a strategist. Strategists own the companies that tacticians work for. Strategists are on the board of companies and have C level executive stations while hiring and firing an ongoing ocean of tacticians. How can you tell if you’re child’s teacher is a tactician as opposed to an educator with the full package? They treat the halfwit concepts of the new ‘political correctness’ as if they were laws passed down from Mount Olympus and constantly use backwards, mean nothing terminology such as hyphenated ethnicities which is nothing more than one additional strategy used by the powers that be to separate the citizens of this nation even more in turn securing more of a strangle hold on the minds of our youth, they take a kumbaya approach to communication with a ‘there is no wrong answer’ process to confusing the balance of a soft maturing mind, they’ll teach about Victoria, self proclaimed Queen of a so-called ‘United’ Kingdom with no mention of the ongoing British attempts to infiltrate this country with chaos missions during the civil war, the war of 1812, multiple invasions from Canada early in the history of our Nation and ongoing via economics and our current legislative and trade system.
Its war and we are battling for the minds of our children in order to keep them from entering into the zone of the mindless drone. They will brainwash your child all day in school, instead of handing your child over to more negative influences by allowing them to sit in front of the idiot box for four hours per night, give them books to read like the Art of War, The Prince and other books that will train them to assimilate this lame public/private school education into practical, strategic concepts that will set them apart, above and beyond their peers.
As a journalist I find myself ghost writing books for self absorbed executives and politicians and never able to take credit for it. I usually get a call from the executive’s publicist and they want me to write a bunch of garbage about his soft side, his humanitarian side or his golf swing. The article is written, published, the clients happy and I feel like a sell out with no journalistic integrity because in this industry, to pay the bills means to compromise and do things you don’t like. This interview was different, completely different.
I met James Scott at Earl’s, a fine dining establishment for Bucks County’s upper crust. The waitress was a snob, I was invisible to the bartender and the experience of waiting for him to arrive was a pride swallowing nightmare that is difficult to put into words then James walks in, polished, confident and ready to get down to business. “Why is my friend still standing” he snapped at the waitress walking by, “I’ll be with you in a…” before she could finish, he interrupted, “we’ll find our own seat, you’ll find us and bring us menus, Steve follow me”. We grabbed a table and to him, this was normal. “If you wait once you’ll spend your life waiting. So what can I do for you?”
I was expecting someone older, in their 50’s or 60’s, he was in his 30’s with a chip on his shoulder to act as warning to any opposition, anytime, anyplace that you may start an argument or debate, he’ll finish it. I became drawn in immediately. He received a call as we sat down from a congressman in the north east and spoke with such confidence, eloquence and authority I felt as though I was sitting in front of an 80 year old statesman that’s been born and bred into the political strategies game.
When he hung up my first question was “Where do you get your confidence to talk to power players with such comfort and ease?” He looked up at me with a glare that was focused and made me feel he was looking into me as opposed to at me and replied, “I think confidence is all relative to what you know and what you know you know” with a grin, he crossed his legs, ran both hands over his slacks and continued, “I made it a habit early on to say as little as possible so that when I was ready to talk I had the attention of the entire room. I made sure that I studied the attendees and read through the body language and speech patterns of everyone there to find the leaders, followers, supporters and skeptics and after collecting all this information I could determine who I needed to address in the room. After 12 years of studying body language and voice patterns it becomes a process of analyzing the situation at hand and responding with an objective strategy that can be applied to the situation. I gained confidence from the successes of using this process time and time again.”
“How do you define this unique area of consulting that you specialize in? There are only 3 or 4 other consultants globally that have the contacts to both economic power players and political lobbyists and special interest groups. How do you keep everyone happy in such a stressful environment where crisis management is typically the job you’re being hired for?”
The waitress arrived at the table, it was 10:35am, some people were still having breakfast, I ordered a coffee, he ordered a vodka tonic, double Belvedere with extra lime as if drinking in the morning was normal behavior. He answered “My core consulting genre is strategic facilitation. I started with public and pre public corporations by setting them up properly to go public, then my firm would take them public, put together a post public investor relations process to grow their marketability to investors and then help them expedite their growth with acquisitions and merger identification and facilitation.” He continued, “I began getting involved on the political side as I would be contacted by a lobbyist group that was working with a congressman or senator who had issues they were trying to sort out and there was no one to call so they would typically get referred to me from a board member of a company I structured and they would say something like, ‘our candidate is having a similar issues that the CEO of ABC Inc was having and we wanted to see if you could come on board to help us work it out . . .’ and that’s how I started getting involved on the political side. Politics just like general corporate and economic strategies have many similar threads. I just try to use the experience from one project for the next and so on. I guess more than anything now I’m a fixer but I’m working more with lobbyists and special interest groups.”
I asked him what prompted the change from focusing on corporate strategies to lobby and special interest, “Well, at the end of the day politicians are the visual identification for an agenda. The agenda is typically started by demands from the localized constituency. Lobbyist and special interest groups spend millions of dollars researching statistics and geographic layouts to find the areas of the country/world that their prototypical support base resides. The next move is to identify the political power-base in that region and initiate support planning. If the political figures are open the next thing is localized job creation and general economics. The convergence of the two in a way that is conducive to instantaneous capitalization and results is where I come in. I work with lobby firms because that is where the real power is, not the actual politician.”
Again, every word was pronounced perfectly, his vocabulary was authoritative, his eyes didn’t blink, his posture was perfect and I have to admit, I couldn’t find a single chink in his armor. There wasn’t an ounce of pretentious or insecure put-downs or belittling of anyone and in talking to him I felt myself gaining more and more respect and admiration for him.
This 30 something ‘kid’ has more global political pull than even the most seasoned politician yet he was comfortable in his skin and completely calm. His breathing was paced and as I looked for the prototypical nervous habits such as a bouncing foot on the floor, sweaty brow, nail biting etc, none were present. He was, in every sense of the term a W.A.S.P without a single trace of insecurity. I was in awe and when I think about it now I believe I took something away with me that day. I’m 54 years old and I have to admit, I look up to him. That may sound strange and it’s even stranger to admit this after I’ve been writing on economics for 25 years.
As we wrapped up the meeting (he only set 20 minutes aside for me and time flew by) his next meeting rolled in. A Chinese oil company needing his strategies to help them out of some issues in Africa. “have a seat gentlemen” he said “I’m going to walk my friend out and will be back in a moment.” He walked me out and we shook hands and he said, “I know you’re a journalist and you’ll want to ask me how I want to be portrayed in the article and I would say this, just go with your gut. I have nothing to hide and my reputation is more about what I am able to accomplish for my clients as opposed to what potential clients read about me. Just write for your readers and it will be fine.” He put his left hand on my shoulder while his right hand stopped shaking my hand and just held it for a moment and then he walked away.
That’s it. That was my interview with James Scott, CEO of the almighty Princeton Corporate Solutions. We didn’t get into the juicy family topic because he wouldn’t mix work and family, we didn’t cover any controversy that surrounds him because there is none, there are no legitimacy issues with him as his cell phone has the world’s most influential professionals and political organizations on first name speed dial.
What I took away from this interview is one thing. The economy is in shambles our government is a disaster but there is a part of me that feels safe and secure knowing that James Scott is involved in the process. We need people like him to help the power structure keep order and to make the moves by these groups solid, strategic and strong enough to help us rebound the devastation we are now experiencing. We need leaders who were born to lead to take us as a people by the hand and tell us that it’s going to be OK and to just focus on our jobs and family, there are qualified people working in the shadows that don’t need nor want special recognition or their names in lights. James Scott is the silent leader that enables crumbling economies to rise again and hopeless corporate organizations to thrive. Keep an eye out for him; chances are he’s turning around a company or an economy near you.
In the strategies of war, how does a new regional military power or upstart guerrilla troop solidify their position? They identify their adversaries and eliminated them. How is business any different? The truth is the strategies are identical while the actual elimination process differs. War is fought with bombs and guns, economics is fought by crushing an idea or believe system that perpetuates the money machine behind a company, take away the public believe system based on the concept put out by a company and you’ve eliminated their ability to survive.
Corporate branding, marketing and all promotion centers around piercing the minds of the public to inject an idea that ultimately triggers them to have an emotional need for your service or product. Few purchase decisions are spontaneous but for those that are it’s a matter of putting making something available with the threat of taking it away.
When injecting an idea in the mind of the involuntary recipient it must be like a candy coated indigestible as opposed to a spinal tap entry. Smooth and easy as opposed to painful and forced. Some sugar coatings take on the identity of a comedic TV commercial where laughter is the mechanism used to bypass the critical faculty while a sappy emotional segment may work for others.
The key to obtaining and maintaining one’s position is to identify your immediate competition, deal with them and once this is facilitated move on to the next potential threat. For the immediate competitor one elimination strategy that tends to work regardless of industry is to analyze the regional market in which you find a competitor of equal size who is in direct competition with you and then find his localized upstart or micro competitors and via third party strategically align your agenda with their promotional tactics. Help them to collectively and unknowingly pinpoint and weaken specific products and services that pronounce the actual threat to your company. Phase two is to make yourself known to them via this third party introduction and buy equities in these companies and contractually obligate them to use this capital for designated promotional solutions that will grow that regional company. You want this money to be used to infiltrate the region with your services/products and have the new partners go into their established client base with mailers, phone calls and in person sales calls and introduce your company and solutions to them.
Your initial competitor will begin to lose traction (assuming they are a public company) and their stock price will begin to fall, you want to begin buying stock in this competing company but not enough to stimulate or increase the share price. A combination of multiple subsidiary elements ganging up on this one particular company in addition to your firm buying equities in a plummeting stock will deliver to you the control you need in order to remove this entity as an obstacle to your growth.
As the company lessens in market share and comes into a new phase of financial hardship, help the process along by now adding the sell/buy process to damage their stock that much more (obviously, before initiating this phase talk to legal counsel for advice). Now that the stock is at a critical volume and price you can step in and flood the market with the stock that you purchased to send them into ‘penny stock’ domain, the kiss of death for any company that wants to stay on or eventually qualify for the NASDAQ (don’t look at this as losing money, you should see it from the perspective of gaining long term market share) and when the company is close to shutting their doors, you can step in as the savior with investment capital, acquisition proposal or workout a subsidiary type merger.
By this time the company is so weak they have no choice but to accept on of the above options thus, you’ve accomplished the elimination of a competitor while creating a virtual monopoly in this regional based strategy. There is a template strategy that straddles political and economical situations. The template is the same while it needs to be adapted with a customized process.
So many companies claim to have the answers but few do. Many companies will take huge upfront fees but few can fulfill their promises.

Lets face it, if you are a small or medium size business owner, the government looks at you and sees dollar signs and instead of words coming from your mouth they just hear ‘cha ching’! Don’t be naive you mean about as much to your local congressman as a slab of road kill to maggots.
They’ll feed off you as long as you’re willing to wear a blindfold and hand out pounds of flesh with yor IRS tax check and make sure you vote on time but don’t have an opinion and if you do have an opinion, keep it to yourself. Today’s politician has about as much integrity as a prison gang leader and zero patience or tolerance to actually digest the needs verbalized by their constituents and if you are a business owner just place your vote and shut up because no one is listening anyway.
Besides, you’re just a robot with your programming card hooked up to talk radio and the news and you’ll believe what the system tells you to. They say that the bailout money is to jump-start the economy and you believed it but now your company is going under, you can’t make payroll and your local senator and congressional rep are MIA.
Wake up, turn your head and cough, now cut your check and shut your mouth. Go back to your dirty little office at your 2005 archaic PC and get to work, Uncle Sam is watching you and you better perform because your tax liabilities are growing, your line of credit is maxed and there is no help in site.
What should you do when you have no one to turn to? Turn and look in the mirror and the solution is that half shaved bloodshot eyed pawn staring back at you. Now pull your shoulders back, pick up that chin and begin to move strategically. For every action there is a reaction and your industry is constantly moving as the government has placed you on a treadmill for the ultimate distraction so that you keep your head down and work without asking questions. But now look up and put a strategy together that will spearhead your growth and stability.
You should look at your fund raising options in a ‘private raise’ sense with an exit strategy that will keep capital flooding your bank account. Investigate the possibility of raising some capital with a Private Placement Memorandum (regulation d) and provide an exit strategy that will have investors flooding your crummy little office, go public on the OTCBB and offer investors the ability to trade without restriction. Now you’re obtaining real power. Next, look at your internal corporate strategy.
Remember, the less organized you are, the more control outside sources have over you because you can’t argue your case in a manner that is conducive to strength. Make sure that your financials are audited once per year, make sure that your company executives are actively seeking strategic alliances on behalf of your company and hold them to a quota. Diversify your product and service offering. Use publicity to advertise instead of traditional ads. Joint venture your promotional campaigns for maximum affect and minimal cash outlay. In these strange economic times you should be streamline, lean and mean. You should evaluate your employees twice per month as on a daily basis they need to earn the right to work for you. Put together a board of directors and qualify them by evaluating their contact base and track record, compensate them in restricted shares and offer some type of annual options. You should also have an advisory board that gets a modest share distribution but primarily uses their advisory board position to gain experience and to build their resume. Set goals for all the members and put it in a Board or advisor contract. Look at the possibility and realistic success of going public and if you go public, choose a solid pre NASDAQ structure such as the OTCBB. In going public your main job at that point is growing and stabilizing your share price with powerful investor relations, PR and growth through acquisitions. You’re on your own, don’t wait on help that will never come. Find a consultant that believes in your concept and can help you build on the foundation you have. Globalize your expansion efforts as opposed to limiting yourself to a minute geographic proximity. Take control of your fate now!
When the principles of a company make the decision to go public there are many things to take into consideration. First and foremost, trying to wade through the pariah infested waters of the OTCBB, Investor Relations and strategic growth strategies on your own is a guaranteed suicide mission and you’ll fail. Find a consultant who understands your business and has the contacts to create a turnkey solution to take you from public to private and all the other necessities you’re company is going to need to make it.
As part of your consultant pre qualifications here are the niches you’re the consultant absolutely must be well versed in order for your company to succeed with the public offering and a solid trading volume post public. Better yet, here is what you’re going to need so you can measure your questions against this list when qualifying the consultants to see who is the best fit.
First you’re company will need structuring. What I mean by structuring is that you’ll need to put a sturdy skeletal structure together to carry around your corporate bag of bones, an iron clad skeletal structure would consist of: board of directors with esteemed educational and professional pedigrees and proven track records for assisting companies in your particular genre with getting to the next level from the level your company is currently at pre public. You also need powerful strategic alliances that will increase your name recognition and overall market awareness by affiliations with inter-industry powerhouses. Use strategic partners for promotion, expansion, resellers, referrals, service and product brokering, name recognition, and more.
Talk to your accountant about your corporate structure. Delaware C corporations are a sturdy home state for public companies as the states statutes go back to the original 13 colonies and offer optimal protection and case law to support a growing public company. Some oversees companies prefer Nevada for their quick fix to the foreign owned company problem but ask your accountant and attorney to give you the pros and cons. Statutory domicile will be the advantage to the home of your corporation but if you are operating in another state you’ll still need to file locally while the state of incorporation can offer legislative support from previous case law history. Don’t believe that you won’t have to pay taxes if you incorporate in Nevada, this simply isn’t the case. Read up on this and then get the real deal from your attorney.
Every public company needs solid CEO, CFO, COO, Board of directors, Board of Advisors, Strategic Partnerships to start off. Now, when you have the above you need to start working on monetize-able purchase orders and offering net terms to your clients, in other words start building your book of business aggressively by offering credit terms. This will make you a stronger company and when investors see your mountain of purchase orders they’ll be impressed and will be more apt to invest. General signed contracts will typically have too many contingencies to have an impact as contracts are not very enforceable whereas purchase orders are like currency and can be monetized if your company finds itself in a crunch. This shows investors that you’re prepared for the ups and downs ahead.
Now after you’ve gone through the s1 comments with the SEC and the 15c211 has been filed by a market maker with FINRA, let’s assume you have your trading symbol and you’re ready to start selling shares. You are going to need a powerful, expensive, rock solid investor relations and market build strategy. Don’t use a pump and dump house as if you do so you will never recuperate. Instead your IR strategy should include: phone room support for announcing your company to industry insiders to create awareness (not selling stock), solid, opt-in email alerts to seasoned, accredited investors looking for stock in your industry, press releases should go out to announce everything from a new executive hire to an new contract to a new strategic partner and anything else that will give you a reason to notify the public on your company’s growth. Expert panel reviews for your C level executives to talk about the industry as an expert insider promote the company to the masses where they will get to see first hand the massive knowledge you possess about your industry which may prompt listeners to investigate your stock for a potential purchase. Don’t forget about viral publicity through high pr video, social bookmarks, blog entry, articles and the prototypical twitter, facebook, myspace and Linkedin properties.
Going public should be part of an overall strategy for expansion as opposed to having a go to just ‘go public’ to raise money.
For decades economic realities have been placed under a black veil of secrecy with its truths and lies known only to the institutional banking elite and we the public just stand like an ocean of monkeys. The system was never exposed, insiders never spoke out.
Yes, this industry has been nothing but lies and chaos, that is, until about 8 years ago. A small consulting firm called Princeton Corporate Solutions began to take this insider knowledge and make it available through very public articles and blogs. The blog on their website is one of the premier global economics and IPO blog stops on every economist’s pilgrimage to seeking and using investment banking, global commerce and IPO knowledge written by the hands of the masters.
The PCS blog does something that no other financial blog in the world does, they take away the technical jargon and in plain English, patiently and painstakingly take the reader by the hand and show them how something like having a personal bank account with a top tier institutional lender can be adding debt to your children’s tax liability 20 years from now.
They talk about the ‘unspoken’ truths of how if a country wants to hurt another country that is not cooperating with insiders, then the insiders want to impose economic sanctions on these decanters and inflict pain by damaging trade relations, threatening IMF intervention or liquidating currency holding to further damage the company who’s not playing by the rules of the establishment. Taking the military into a country is more for statement than anything as economic sanctions are the most powerful tool of war without lifting a single gun and the goal is to get the citizens of the country fed up and wound up so that they force internal changes within their borders to get those sanctions lifted but this rarely happens. The economy will eventually weaken and big business will step in with fists full of Uncle Sam’s money and start introducing the locals to the finer things in life, the luxuries that they could have but their president doesn’t want them to have them etc.
The exposing of how institutional insiders and politicians toy with the system is now termed ‘The Princeton Affect’ named after Princeton Corporate Solutions. “I think it’s a Wall Street Thing” says James Scott, CEO of PCS, “I just got so sick of hearing the lies on TV and having all the zombies at home watching and believing all this garbage. All we are trying to do is help the little guy understand what he is truly up against when trying to run the company in this economy.”
Global economics affects everyone with a pulse on the planet yet so few people understand it, ‘The Princeton Affect’ is the crystallization and simplifying technical economic issues in a way for the common man to increase knowledge and understanding on how to best protect oneself and grow during this difficult time as a business owner or C level executive.
Taking a company public has multiple intricacies. I get calls and emails daily from people who want a quote for taking their company public and I respond the same way each time, “No Thanks and good luck, you’re going to need it if this is how you’re approaching the process of going public”. Business owners who are seeking a ‘competitive quote’ from a consultant to take them public are asking for trouble and just begging to attract the wolves. Its shocking how many startup consultants are crouched over in darkened alleyways waiting to pounce on unsuspecting entrepreneurs and take their money and deliver absolutely nothing.
If you want to find a consultant worth their weight in salt you need to take the approach of general evaluation using targeted questions to find out if they are truly qualified to take your company to the next level. First and most basic, ask them if they are offering a turn-key public offering service, meaning do they participate in everything from soup to nuts including but not limited to: S1 filing and comments completion for SEC approval and market maker designation and 15c211 filing with FINRA to obtain symbol.
Think of this as the stuffing between the OREO cookies. Now you need to qualify them for their pre public and post public solutions. Pre public you need to make sure they will assist you with corporate structuring, expansion strategies, board of adviser selection, board of director election, executive pedigree evaluation for a public company, corporate and executive publicity generation using traditional means of radio and TV expert panel participation and viral publicity branding.
Your post public strategy is crucial and should be set in motion pre public so that you can hit the public market full throttle from the onset of your public offering. Post public strategies should entail a vast and in-depth investor relations strategy using stock alerts, press releases, promotion to market makers and other advisers, TV and radio interviews, article publishing and growth through acquisition just to name a few strategies.
You shouldn’t come out of the gate and lead the consultant to answer with the above information but target your questions so that they are general enough so that the consultant gives you their pre customized, boilerplate template strategy.
Going public can be extremely rewarding if done properly. Don’t try to do this on your own. Find qualified professionals to take you through the process in a structured and orderly manner.
If you think economic conditions are tough now, you haven’t seen anything yet. Europe’s collapse is just getting started which will affect our exports, banking and real estate market all over again. Our nation’s current financial traction is only temporary and we still have one to three more cycles of down spiraling real estate market conditions to deal with.
Believe none of what you hear from politicians and half of what you see as to them it’s all just a sitcom entwined in smoke and mirrors. To your local government official you’re just a rat on a treadmill chasing after scraps from their table. Do you honestly think you matter to them? All they care about is votes, don’t be naive by thinking they ran for office because of social conviction.
You are just a vote on a ticket in a ballet box, nothing more. The two sectors of the market that have been hardest hit are small/medium size business due to lack of growth capital and shrinking client base and the employees of these companies who have lost their jobs because of cut backs. Being that most issues lie with the demise of the entrepreneur let’s take a closer look at the problems they face and how we can solve them.
Small business is the lifeblood to our nation’s economy. Our entrepreneurs feed an economy which once guzzled luxury items, technology and solutions that made our lives easier. With funding cuts from the top of the economic food chain (Fed to banks to entrepreneurs) there are no lines of credit to offset temporary losses which in turn creates substantial losses without the critical and timely rebound. Companies can’t grow because of the lack of expansion capital, lease options and other alternative financing mechanisms.
While your senator will stand and entertain questions at a press conference make no mistake you’re trapped in a spider filled casket in a forgotten crypt. Grim? Absolutely. Disgusting and despicable is more like it. Instead of promoting concepts that can empower business owners, politicians keep silent as we all slide into the tar pit in one communal involuntary suicide.
Here is the information that they are not telling you. Here is a solution to the problem of a bankrupt middle class and the ever shrinking small/medium size business. Our solution lies in two very simple words, “Private Capital”. There are solutions and you have power to change your fate.
Private capital comes in many forms but here we are going to talk about Regulation D Rule 506 which stemmed from the Securities Act of 1933 which is an SEC approved way of splitting your company up into organized shares and selling those shares to the public via public offering through private placement also referred to as a private placement memorandum. You can sell shares to accredited investors who believe in your business model. A PPM can be a pre IPO (otcbb) structure, long term investment with a certain exit strategy or you can pay dividends. There are many options, just pick one and move forward.
My personal favorite for helping qualified corporations raise capital and take control is using a PPM to raise a seed capital round and use the proceeds to fund an SEC audit, S1 Filing, 15c211 filing to FINRA approval and trading symbol disbursement. Yes, it is that easy to take your company public. Most companies won’t qualify for the NASDAQ or NYSE and you shouldn’t even consider the cesspool of the pink sheets but a wonderful platform that works great with the above and a solid investor relations strategy is the OTCBB (over the counter bulletin boards).
Once your company is public you can sell securities and cross collateralize your securities for a quick capital raise with minimal institutional banking intervention and drawbacks. Find a consultant who can take you through the process and can demonstrate solid comprehension of your business genre. Take control now!
Placid expressions on the faces of the soon to be sacrificed entrepreneurs, “Line up, take a number, politicians are momentarily occupied at the citizen guillotine but they’ll get to you in a moment. Yes, just stand there and wait your turn while the IRS picks your pockets and bankers rape you of your dignity, don’t worry it will all be over soon.”
Is this a little to graphic or a little to real? Which is more upsetting to you? I believe that the fact that the above is the psychological reality of the American populace at this moment in time and that is what’s so disturbing. We are led to the slaughter as sacrificial lambs and we are expected to just grin and take it as it is our patriotic responsibility not to complain. Just take this two ton backpack of burdens, place them on the backs of our infants and move on. Right? I am asked to speak on the topic of global finance, IPOs and corporate globalization internationally and the one common thread I see in every country I visit is that the citizens of the host country feel that it is their patriotic duty to stand there while corrupt politicians place the noose over their children’s heads and slowly suffocate the lives out of them with debt, corruption and the economic burdens of multiple generations.
Truth be told, the patriotic thing to do is ask questions, protect our children from a mountain of growing debt and tell the institutional powers that be exactly what we demand of them. In the meantime what does a company do when they are trying to raise capital to stimulate rapid growth or stabilize their position? The last thing you want to do is open yourself up to the life sucking banking imps who lend with the intent to repossess.
Take the power back, create wealth for your family and your children’s children.
