So You Want to Be A Capitalist? Read This and Pass It On!

There are those who ask, “How do I become a Capitalist?“ This question is something that should be intellectually dissected by those who want to make a legitimate effort to become this prestigious title. Since the fall of Feudalism, Capitalism (or variants therein) has been the demonic substance of many political philosophies throughout the past several centuries; this stigma has given credibility to many collective models and their totalitarian rule. But True Capitalists are not the greedy devils that they have been propagandized to be. Its much like the auto-determination of civilizations from the past, where war, conquest and glory encompassed the thymotic passions of the time. Capitalist in modern times are motivated by more than just profits or gains; it’s the ability to civilly conduct competitive battles of thymos while facilitating opportunities to the spectators. Unlike old thymotic perceptions which inspired destruction and brutality exclusively, Capitalist thymos creates the Chinese definition of the word crisis; danger and opportunity.

What’s the danger? Every living organism on this planet is genetically imbedded to survive, and to survive in this reality means to kill something weaker to sustain life. As much as human idealism has tried to reinterpret this reality, it’s a fact of nature. But the food-chain stops with Humanity, and who takes the place of nature from here while not replicating the brutality that fills the walls of history? Capitalists! Capitalist provide an avenue to civilly separate the weak from the wise. And this is the danger of Capitalism, there has to be losers and people who fail. Which isn’t much of a danger from this author’s view.

The opportunity? A Capitalist must utilize all assets in his/her arsenal to fund a venture that will provide profit and growth. But as with every thymotic conquest comes competition that will utilize all the tools in its arsenal to eliminate start-up ventures that will threaten their part of a given market. As a result, spectators who join sides with a specific Capitalist in a given venture, capitalize by default with jobs, creativity, research and development. Productivity and growth permeates as spectators of the Capitalist battle become part of the spectacle themselves.

To be a Capitalist in modern times is a lucrative, yet a dangerous idea to accept as the foundation of one’s mentality. Those in the failure category of the Capitalist models vent their frustrations at successful Capitalists; which can become extremely violent. To be a Capitalist is not to just accumulate wealth and assets, but to expand economic possibilities to inspire the productivity of a civilization. To be a Capitalist is to go above the limits set forth by society, politics and family influences. The economic model of international free markets has enabled Capitalists to grow beyond the locality of their geopolitical proximity. It provides opportunity on a global scale for that seek it, and economic growth for those who want it. So you want to be a Capitalist? Join us!

Gadhafi's Son Threatens His Own People; Moammar's Days Are Numbered in Libya!

I have to laugh when I see nepotistic regimes attempt to hold power and justify their totalitarian rule. The country of Libya is the latest in a vast series of uprisings throughout the region. Although Libya's government has completely cut off communication in and out of the country, reports of police firing into crowds and killing hundreds continue. The Yul Brynner look alike above, Moammar Gadhafi's son, got on Libya's state-run media threatening civil war against those opposing the governing authority. Moreover, hes threatened to "burn Libya's oil wealth," but all this comes too late for this nepotistic regime.

Latest reports out of Libya confirm that the regime is losing complete control of the country. Central government buildings are on fire, the military is turning on the Gadhafi and the people continue to press forward even after heavy casualties. So all this finger waving by this bureaucratic, bald-headed brat is just prolonging the inevitable. The 42 year reign of Moammar Gadhafi is just about to become a bad footnote in the book of history.

As this relates to business, crude oil has spiked in the Asian and European markets and its sure to gain in the American markets tomorrow morning. Just as I predicted on True Capitalist Radio several weeks ago, the chaos in Egypt would spread throughout the region and oil prices would be affected. If you listened to the insight given on the show, this may be your time to generously profit.

Google's Responsibility For the Egypt Uprising; The Aiding and Abetting of Wael Ghonim...

Its been several weeks since the beginning of the Egyptian uprising against longtime authoritarian leader Honsi Mubarak. The American media has been covering this chaos as some sort of fight for democracy, but in reality, its a disgusting display of technological mass manipulation. And Google is the major culprit of all this destruction.

At the beginning of the uprising, a Google executive named Wael Ghonim utilized Internet communication to organize the masses of Egypt. As a result, people took to the streets, and instead of demonstrating or rushing government offices to take control of the country's authority, they looted the streets like a post-Katrina wasteland. The people not only have destroyed their metropolitan cities and turned them into garbage dumps, but they're also starving their own country by prohibiting the number one source of revenue from generating income; tourism.

But all that doesn't matter to Wael Ghonim or Google. On the contrary, they've been fueling the fire of this chaos since the beginning. When Egypt attempted to halt Internet traffic to stabilize the chaos, Google created a method of Internet communication that bypassed Egyptian authorities. When Egypt authorities took Wael Ghonim into custody, Google's media influence made Ghonim look like an imprisoned freedom fighter, as opposed to what he really is; a rabble rouser. Because of Google's propaganda of Ghonim, Egyptian authorities released him in hopes of calming the uprising.

Instead, Wael Ghonim has gone back to his digital agitation and is reorganizing the chaos that has been a reality in Egypt since the uprising. Ghonim said in his most recent statement that, "I'm ready to die for revolution 2.0!" Well Mr. Ghonim, why should the country of Egypt listen to a Google sponsored crier that has no revolutionary credibility other than pushing keyboard keys really hard to tweet a primitive population into chaos?

In a recent episode of True Captialist Radio, I received a call from an American investor that had business interests in Egypt. He went on to say that his store in Cairo was seen on CNN in flames. This is not only the story for foreign investment in Egypt, but also for the local Egyptian investors that are now counting their losses because of Google and Ghonim. This is why I feel that Google's role in this uprising is threat to foreign investment and governments of nation states throughout the world.

If Google can use its communication assets to destabilize governments, what's to stop Google from using these same assets to manipulate markets, conduct identity espionage and/or creating truth out of propaganda (just as they've done with Wael Ghonim)? I think investors, governments and individuals should really analyze whats happening in Egypt, because its not setting a good precedent for global civility.

Ghost is Bullish on Gold! Financial Institutions Now Accepting Gold as Collateral...

As many listeners know, I was a Gold critic for some time. But as I continue to see the pumping of bullion on the news media, TV personalities and even from certain politicians, I'm seeing the Gold bubble beginning!

For all who are unaware, America loves a good bubble; the dot coms, real estate, etc. Gold, at this point, seems to be one of those financial instruments that investors (laymen and pro) seemed to be getting into for many different factors.

One factor, inflation! The U.S. government is continuing its orgy of deficit spending, which is debasing the American currency. Typically the price of Gold rises when a currency is devalued and we're seeing (and have seen since the concept of investing) investors use liquid from other positions to purchase Gold to hedge against this inflation. This play provides the investor with cash reserves via metal that gains with inflation by default.

Another factor, accumulation! Since Gold's rise since 2000, many firms, businesses and individuals have started up to capitalize on these unprecedented gains. Everything from Gold bar peddlers to scrap Gold buyers fill the advertising space on the news networks and other media; not to mention that financial institutions are now accepting Gold as collateral. This means that a mainstream industry has been birthed based around bullion and is obviously successful enough to continuing paying millions to advertise and accumulate the metal. So what does that tell me, it tells me that this is the beginning of potential Gold scarcity because of accumulation. Accumulation of this metal can cause a huge spike in the value of gold based on the laws of supply and demand; and this is a key factor for fueling the coming Gold bubble.

The last, but not least, factor; over speculation. At some point (I believe we're entering that phase now), everybody from investors to the regular joe are going to believe the hype and accumulate Gold no matter what the market price is. Over speculators are going to be blinded by gains and they will fail to realize the limitations of this instrument (just as the did with real estate). This will engulf the latter portion of the Gold bubble right before it bursts, which I feel will take place in about 2-3 years from now.

Taking these factors into account, I feel very bullish on Gold for the time period mentioned previous. I believe (in my opinion) that bullion could go as high as $3000-$4000 an ounce before is pops, so take advantage by setting aside a minimum of 10-15% of your portfolio and entertain plays in the metals market; especially Gold!

AOL CEO Tim Armstrong's Explaination of the $315 Million Huffington Post Deal

Tim Armstrong went on Bloomberg Television after trading hours on Feb. 7, 2011 to discuss his company's recent acquisition of Huffington Post for an astonishing $315 million. Armstrong sounded optimistic to say the least when boasting about the deal and pom-poming its founder, Ariana Huffington (who will now be AOL's editor in chief for news content). If your an investor in AOL, listen closely and see if you believe the vision that Armstrong trying real hard to sell.

After watching this interview, one has to wonder what's Armstrong smoking? Sure, his belief in content production and its revenue generating strategies is one thing. But I don't think that paying the Huffington Post 30 times its annual operating cash flow is a smart business decision in any school of finance.

AOL "expects" Huffington Post's annual operating cash flow in 2012 to be around $30 million; but I feel that's really stretching the imagination. In episode #17 of the True Capitalist Radio Show, I had several AOL investors call into the show with concern about this deal; asking for advice on their next move on this stock. I personally feel that this was not a wise use of a company's capital, and if I owned AOL right now; I would start looking for more profitable short term instruments.

One thing I think that will come about from this questionable move by AOL is a potential corporate buy out frenzy. I think these types of buy out deals (based on speculated future earnings) are going to be a habitual norm in the coming year and into next year, for corporate profits have been high for the past couple of quarters (which has given equities major gains). Companies are sitting on lots of capital and, just as AOL has done, they're going to use it to expand. Not to mention the Obama administration's new view on lowering corporate taxes! Is this going to be the 90's all over again?

John Stossel highlights what Ghost has been screaming about for over 3 years! We're having a fight for True Capitalism; stand up and demand it!

For those who still believe that America is not a quasi-Socialist/Communist system, take a look at a story (one of many) that Fox Business commentator John Stossel delivered on his latest Thursday night (8PM EST) show. Below is a video clip that provides yet another example of why True Capitalism is being phased out by Leftist power-hungry bureaucrats.

Click here for the video clip!

I don't know how much its going to take for you complacent American people to get off your fat, cottage cheese having asses and take control of this American system that's been hi-jacked by Leftist fanatics. Our political, economic and social systems can only be ran sufficiently by a well informed and highly active populous that understands their obligation to its civilization. Those who remain docile and helpless have no room in a society that was built to protect Life, Liberty and Property; and without the protection of property, there is no such thing as prosperity and/or opportunity.

That's why its more important than ever to expose these contradictions, so that our disenchanted youth can clearly see that the 40+ year experiment of Leftist ideology is tainted with lies and hypocrisy. Its time for the young to see life for what it is and act to preserve the greatest social organizing idea that ever graced the earth; Capitalism. If not, the alternative is a bureaucratic system that will retard human creativity, destroy critical thinking and stagnate human potential just as Monarchism and Feudalism did to the world for thousands of years.

Glenn Beck puts the economic collapse in simple terms; even an idiot American should be able to understand!

WAKE UP AMERICA! YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!

Facebook bows down under the pressure! I say still cancel your accounts!

I had stated on my show last week that all users of the social networking site Facebook, should cancel their accounts. It was highlighted earlier this month that Facebook's "terms of service" was altered to give exclusive rights to all the user-created content posted on the site to Facebook; even if one were to decide to cancel their account. I was outraged at this company and it's founder, Mark Zuckerberg.

But now that the Internet users of the world decide to revolt against these authoritarian tactics used by Facebook, Zuckerberg and his goons have bowed down to the users and eliminated the "TOS" clause stated previous. But I feel that Internet users should make Facebook pay for its infringement on our Internet freedom. That's why I still call on everyone to cancel their Facebook accounts and tell Mark Zuckerberg to piss off!

Facebook, as stated in several reports, is worth close to 1.3 Billion dollars as of right now. And they have the audacity to secretly change the "TOS" agreement under every one's noses to give them exclusive monetary rights to your likeness, pictures, blogs, videos and any other content that you wish to post (even if you close your account)? I think Zuckerberg has some nerve, and it would be a great day to see Facebook collapse under its own greed.

Remember Zuckerberg, you fruity-ass bastard, the people are the ones who created the networth of your company and made Facebook what it is today. Secretly changing your "TOS" is the equivilent of kicking all the Facebook users in the balls and telling them to smile about it. You and your pathetic company are a piece of trash, and anyone who still decides to stay on as a Facebook user must like being treated like a 2-dollar whore with a 3-dollar rebate!
