The Road Less Traveled...
Meet a veteran market analyst, currency trader, trading system developer, trends futurist, wealth coach, wellness educator, constitutional expert and former home schooling dad who aced the SATs, clocked 168 on the IQ test... then fled college to play music in nightclubs and bars.
There is no tuition high enough for an education like this.

Hi, Gordon here -
All my life I've had the feeling that I was not completely a part of the mainstream culture (can you relate?).
That I was somehow traveling a parallel path from which vantage point I could see and understand the world around me from an objective perspective.
Even as a young man this intuition led to a fascination with getting to the bottom of things and discovering the truth.
Ah yes, the truth! So slippery and so elusive.
"A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable." - Thomas Jefferson
Yes, rare indeed; and so subjective that we each experience a uniquely personal version of the truth that we trade with each other like playing cards. But...
In the movie The Truman Show, when protagonist Truman Burbank saw a piece of lighting equipment fall into the street, he simply shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
Truman really was living inside a movie. But if you think of your personally generated hologram of reality as a movie playing inside your head, I would ask...
Who is running the projector?
In reality, only an eyewitness to history can know the truth, which necessarily means that every history book ever written is not only hearsay, it reflects the bias of its author.
I should add that I know of no case where a book written by the loser went mainstream.
The best that any serious student of genuine history can do is to study a subject for many years and from many different perspectives, then do his or her best to determine what actually happened.
For example, you could read Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by whitewash establishment historian Doris Kearns Goodwin.
Or you could read The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and An Unnecessary War by Thomas J. DiLorenzo and decide for yourself which book better passes the smell test.
As a teenager I graduated from what is still perhaps the most prestigious preparatory school in the world, Phillips Andover Academy, where I received a magnificent classical education - one that, for all the considerable tuition that my parents paid, neglected completely to connect the dots of history.
They taught me about Karl Marx. I learned that Marx was called the "Father of Communism." They did not teach me the extent to which his "Communist Manifesto" - a blueprint for destroying individual rights and private property - had already been implemented within the United States.
Nor was I taught the name of the secret, international organization that funded Marx' rise to prominence (and which continues to operate subversively to this day).
I learned that Abraham Lincoln "saved the union." Except that he didn't. Lincoln pillaged the South like a conqueror of old and set a precedent for dictatorial authority in the executive branch.
The Lincoln presidency established the high water mark for the American republic, and the beginning of the subsequent long decline into fascism that we see today.
All during the "Civil War," Lincoln remained in continuous correspondence with one of his greatest admirers: Karl Marx.
They never mentioned any of this during my years of formal education. It wasn't until I began educating myself that I learned anything at all.
For over 40 years now I've made it a point to read a minimum of 90 minutes a day which comes to about 22,000 hours so far and has resulted in a large, personal library on the most interesting subjects.
Some of these books are long out of print; others are just not available (because banned) on Amazon.
Given today's climate of near-fanatical political correctness, you'd probably want to read some of these books under the covers with a flashlight, or at least draw the drapes.
Taken as a totality, these countless conversations with some of the finest minds of both history and the modern era have taught me a great deal about the true history of our world (Note: not available on The History Channel).
A few hundred years from now our current life and times will be but a footnote in the history books of the future.
The challenge for anyone seriously engaged in understanding why the world is as it is today (politically conflicted, in financial distress, rife with fraud and corruption...) is to understand our history as we're actually living through it.
Being a devoted autodidact and a currency trader who has spent years refining the art of pattern recognition, I've been able to weave a highly pixelated mental tapestry for myself of the world around us.
To "connect the dots" as it were, such that I've come to what I think is a pretty clear understanding of so many very important things that will never be televised, never taught in public school, nor ever made available in college for even the largest of student loans.
For example, and you won't hear this from your neighborhood financial planner, the equities, bonds and precious metals markets are deeply manipulated by elements of the military intelligence complex in concert with the international money centers.
Truly free markets? Forget it, a thing of the past. As one writer put it, we have no more markets. We have only interventions.
Does the direction that things are heading in these days concern you? They should.
Mark my words, one day soon the dollar will be a 'cyber buck' based on block chain technology.
With cash eliminated, the government will have 100% real-time knowledge of your every financial transaction:
These developments are happening in China right now where there is no longer any privacy whatsoever.
And since China is destined to be the world's leading financial center before the end of this century, you can reliably expect similar financial totalitarianism to come to the America that your grandchildren will know.
Unless, that is, enough Americans wake up and decide to stop it. As Margaret Mead once observed:
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Here's a prediction for you, and you read it here first! Signed tax returns will become a thing of the past.
No longer will you swear under penalty of perjury that everything on the tax form is true, so the government can use your return as prima facie evidence against you in court.
The 4th and 5th Amendments? Forget it. Those hoary protections were nice while they lasted, but they've since been relegated to the Bill of Suggestions.
Processing millions of tax returns and trillions of dollars each year isn't cheap. After all, why should Uncle Sam go to the time, trouble and expense of having you incriminate yourself on a 1040 tax affidavit, or bother auditing you, when he can simply calculate the tax for you and debit it automatically from your bank account?
Come to to think of it, why not appropriate your 401k, IRA and other electronic investments into a single Fed Freedom account and back it with newly issued bonds after the current ones are defaulted on?
Do you get the sense that the government can - and absolutely will when it's good and ready - do whatever it wants, without considering your interests for a single moment?
But this is understandable. All organisms want to survive, and government is nothing but a giant, complex organism consisting of millions of cells.
And it's hungry.
Incidentally, if you've considered accumulating real assets as a hedge against a future of zero personal or financial privacy, I'd suggest you get started.
Feel free to get in touch and I can head you in the right direction.
There's a saying that if you've been at the poker table for a half-hour and you haven't spotted the sucker yet, guess who...?
Under the guise of security, the powers-that-be take advantage of the natural credulity of the populace to advance their own geopolitical agendas, just as easily as a rancher sends a dog to herd the sheep away from a wolf.
Few notice that the dog and the wolf are working together.
Progressives dream of the well being of the masses (translate: privileged power structure) outweighing the rights of the individual.
Conservatives secretly dream of these things, too. They just want to take it a little slower.
Either way, the rule of law goes out the window and the Age of Enlightenment becomes the Age of Delusion.
History instructs us that things don't work out too well when you:
1. Trust schools to teach you about life.
2. Trust bankers to stabilize the economy.
3. Trust financial advisors to make you rich.
4. Trust career politicians to take care of you.
5. Trust medical doctors to keep you on this side of the grass.
6. Trust in experts when you can easily learn for yourself.
Once you understand how things work in the real world, you can formulate solutions to even the most basic of life's problems.

Yes, rare indeed; and so subjective that we each experience a uniquely personal version of the truth that we trade with each other like playing cards. But...
- Who can really know the truth?
- Who gets to say what is true?
- Would you recognize the truth if you landed in front of you?
