221: The Future Unveiled: Ron Paul Shares His Global Predictions

Today’s guest is Congressman Dr. Ron Paul. Author, activist, physician and retired politician. Dr. Paul has had an incredible career, beginning in the 1960s as an OBYN into the 1980s, delivering somewhere around 4,000 babies in rural south Texas. During the 1970s, he founded the Ron Paul Institute For Peace And Prosperity and, in 1976, began his career as a politician. He was the Libertarian Party nominee in 1988 and a candidate for the Republican Party in 2008 and 2012.  In 2015 the former 12-term US Congressman from Texas launched the Liberty Report to discuss his provocative opinion and to analyze breaking issues affecting our lives and finances, and it is still going strong today. He is the author of END THE FED, THE REVOLUTION and more.   MY CONVERSATION WITH DR. RON PAUL  I ask Dr. Paul how he feels about the lack of freedom we’ve had over the past 2 and a half years; how did we get here? I’m Canadian. What does Dr. Paul make of what has happened in Canada over the last year with the trucker convoy and the government freezing bank accounts? We talk in-depth about his outlook for the future. Does humanity stand a chance? How can people all over the world protect themselves from what is happening? What is his advice for those seeking more freedom and liberty in their lives?   CONCLUSION I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Congressman Paul. I truly look up to this man, and I know you’ll love the conversation as much as I did.Mentioned in this episode:TICKETS NOW ON SALEJoin us March 14-15th, 2025, live in Panama City for the Wealth, Freedom & Passports Conference.

220: Marc Faber – Buying Asian Investments & Currencies On The Cheap

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Marc Faber, Editor and Publisher of the ‘’Gloom, Boom & Doom Report.’’ Born in Zurich, Switzerland, he studied Economics at the University of Zurich and, at the age of 24, obtained a Ph.D. in Economics magna cum laude. In 1990, he set up his business, publishing a widely read monthly investment newsletter, “THE GLOOM, BOOM & DOOM” report highlighting unusual investment opportunities. He is also the author of several books, including “TOMORROW’S GOLD – Asia’s Age of Discovery”    TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH MARC FABER Listen in to today's conversation I have with Marc Faber about the possibility of war between China and Taiwan. What are his predictions, and what are they willing to do regarding money and war? Do the Taiwanese people want conflict? Or is it that the US likes to provoke conflict? Where do you hold your assets? Marc shares his basic allocation and the percentage for each. Is holding cash a good idea? And if so, what currency is worth holding? Why is it vitally important to hold your gold in the country you live in and not in another country? Online brokerage accounts. Are they a good idea? How safe are they? An important question to ask yourself: How will I lose the least in an environment where things are bad? Marc explains all. A serious risk that the governments will impose some sort of wealth taxation. In an emergency decree, a government can do anything; look at what Trudeau did during the trucker strike. We discuss Qatar and the UAE and their monarchies, as opposed to the corruption with Canada’s Trudeau and the fact that democracies have the very worst people at the top.  I asked Marc, what countries would you diversify in?  If you are holding US cash, what other fiat should we look at? And what does he believe the top 3 currencies are?   HOW TO REACH MARC FABER www.gloomboomdoom.com   RELATED EPISODE 214: Stacking Laws Like LEGO Blocks To Secure Your Freedom – Patri Friedman 199: It’s Time For The World To Wake Up And Thrive – Foster Gamble   CONCLUSION What an interesting conversation with one of the most brilliant minds of today. If you want to learn from the best, here is a glimpse into who Marc Faber is and why you should be listening to him.Mentioned in this episode:TICKETS NOW ON SALEJoin us March 14-15th, 2025, live in Panama City for the Wealth, Freedom & Passports Conference.

217: Guarding Your Digital Footprint: Privacy Tips from Terry Tillaart

Terry Tillaart is a proponent of private, decentralized, sound money, a crypto enthusiast, a privacy advocate and a regular speaker at international freedom conferences.   MY DISCUSSION WITH TERRY TILLAART  Today’s conversation with Terry Tillaart focuses on how we should be looking at ways to seek absolute freedom in our lives. Why is freedom important? Why should we be looking at getting away from the control of organizations that don’t have our best interests at heart, even though they claim they are doing it for our sake? Concepts that we must absolutely stop doing now, right now, and why this is vital to our future, your family's future. How do we support projects that support freedom and businesses that move us closer to our main objectives of a parallel society? If you believe that the last 3 years has been orchestrated by groups worldwide that don’t have your best interest at heart, then this is the episode for you.  We dig deeper into which crypto is for the people, which ones are pro-freedom, and which ones can’t be controlled. What you absolutely must know to be able to survive what is coming for the future of our world. Terry shares his favourite privacy coins and why he thinks these are a much better option. I talked with Terry about how things could have turned out differently if people who donated to the Trucker Convoy had used a privacy coin and how they wouldn’t have had their accounts frozen, not had their assets seized and would not be on some kind of watch list.    HOW TO REACH TERRY TILLAART & IMPORTANT LINKS FOR PRIVACY Private Telegram Group   https://t.me/+fRKdC-m1ActiNDRh www.terrytillaart.com Most Private Email - www.mailfence.com Best Browser  - https://decentr.net (also has the best search engine built in https://presearch.io ) More Resources in Telegram Group  https://t.me/+fRKdC-m1ActiNDRh   RELATED EPISODES  137: Blockchain And The Future Of The Internet – Marco Wutzer 188: Deep Dive On Privacy Coins And How To Stay Anonymous – Tobias Ruck 162: How Privacy Can Protect You If They Come For You – Gabriel Custodiet   CONCLUSION This is a fast-paced, packed-to-the-brim podcast episode with Terry Tillaart on freedom and the use of cryptocurrencies.
