<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14px;">During the recent financial crisis no issue has aroused more passion than financial institution bailouts. The standard rationale for the bailouts has been one of necessity and fear: federal regulatory agencies must have more authority in order to respond to the crisis, or else the public will face terrible consequences. But does this rationale hold up to close inspection?</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, Verdana, "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14px;">In </span><i style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, Verdana, "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14px;">Financing Failure</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14px;">, Vern McKinley approaches the topic by examining the policy decisions behind the bailouts and by showing their connection to previous government interventions. He brings under scrutiny the policy decisions made by the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC during the crisis of the 2000s and links them to policies that go back as far as the 1930s. This history of bailouts reveals that the genesis of financial crisis is government policy, be it the mismanagement of monetary policy during the 1930s or the political push to expand homeownership that helped cause the 2000s crisis.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, Verdana, "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14px;">The nation’s federal financial regulators and the politicians claim to have saved the American economy. In truth they have done everything within their power to expand their own influence—often far out of view from the public and media. Instead of openly explaining their actions, the bailout agencies have attempted to prevent the public from reviewing their decision-making, often at tremendous cost to taxpayers. McKinley’s painstakingly researched and clear-headed analysis of bailouts and government intervention shows that the American public has accepted too many official pronouncements at face value, and that reining in the federal regulators is a necessary step toward truly promoting the safety and soundness of the financial system.</span></div>

Retail sales rose by a better-than-expected 1.6% in April as consumers resumed spending after unseasonably cold weather earlier in the year.
However, the Office for National Statistics said the sector remained broadly subdued, and analysts said the underlying trend was "lacklustre".
In the three months to April, sales rose just 0.1% on the previous quarter.
April's figure was boosted by a 4.7% surge in petrol sales, after falling in March because of the snow disruption.
"Retail sales bounced back in April, as petrol and other sales recovered from the snowfall. But the underlying position remains subdued with the volume of goods sold over the last six months broadly unchanged," said Rob Kent-Smith of the ONS.
"Department stores declined following relatively strong sales last month, when their online sales were boosted during the adverse weather.
"Over the longer-term, retail sales growth has slowed considerably, with increases in food, household goods and internet retailers being largely offset by declines across all other types of retailing."
Online continued to take a bigger slice of spending, up from 16.1% last April to 17.3%, with both food and clothing stores achieving record online proportions.
In March, sales had fallen by 1.8% and recorded their biggest quarterly fall in seven years.
'Lacklustre' performance
Samuel Tombs at Pantheon Macroeconomics said the April rise reflected a recovery from snow-induced weakness in March, rather than robust spending momentum.
"We continue to expect retail spending to increase only at a glacial rate this year. Consumers' confidence has weakened and savings intentions have picked up," he said.
"The sharp rise in oil prices to nearly $80 will filter through to petrol pumps over the next three weeks, hitting petrol sales volumes and squeezing the amount of money households have left for discretionary consumption."

Toys R Us collapsed earlier this year
Ben Brettell of Hargreaves Lansdown said the underlying trend for retail sales remained "pretty lacklustre" and the figures were little incentive for the Bank of England to raise interest rates.
"Growth is anaemic at best, and retail sales look insipid. But with inflation falling back towards target and real wages finally growing, albeit only slowly, there's little cause for alarm either," he said.
A wide range of retailers have come under intense pressure in recent months as a combination of changing spending patterns, higher costs and online competition has forced some to the wall and others to close stores and seek rent reductions.
Big names such as Toys R Us and Maplin have collapsed, while chains including Marks and Spencer, Mothercare, Carpetright, New Look and House of Fraser plan to close hundreds of shops in a bid to shore up their finances.
Even retailers that have not been forced to take such drastic steps are grappling with the challenge of lower margins and profitability.

There have not been so many trouble signs for the global economy in a very long time. Analysts are sounding the alarm about junk bond defaults, the smart money is getting out of stocks at an astounding rate, mortgage rates are absolutely skyrocketing, and Europe is already facing a full blown financial meltdown. Of course expectations that another global economic crisis will happen among the general population are probably at an all-time low right now, but the reality of the matter is that we are probably closer to a new one erupting than at any point since the last one in 2008. Since the last financial crisis our long-term debt problems <a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/why-america-is-heading-straight-toward-the-worst-debt-crisis-in-history" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #1256a0; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">have just continued to grow</a>, and there are many that believe that the next crisis will actually be far worse than what we experienced ten years ago.</div>

Italy is a financial basket case, and Europe isn’t going to be able to handle a complete and total Italian financial collapse. If you will remember, Europe could barely handle what happened in Greece, and the Italian economy is many times the size of Greece.</div>

Women need not apply.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

ST. PETERSBURG — Sharing the floor with Russian President Vladimir Putin can test one’s patience. Especially if you’re a woman.
International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde was last to speak at the plenary session of Russia’s glitzy economic forum, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, on Friday afternoon, bearing a responsibility she compared to being married to Liz Taylor. “At this wonderful moment, I am the fifth, and incidentally, the only woman,” Lagarde told the large audience of mostly men.
Her signature silver locks flicked across her brow, Lagarde said she felt like the actor Richard Burton, who, as Taylor’s fifth husband, “knew what was expected, but wasn’t sure how to be original.” This invited guffaws from Russia’s political and business elite — and a sideways smirk from Putin. French President Emmanuel Macron, squirming in his chair, seemed hardly capable of suppressing his laughter.
After hours of onstage camaraderie by Putin, Macron, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan, the managing director of the IMF finally got her turn.</div>

Hi <span style="background-color: white; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem;">, my name is Jim Rickards.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">In the next 60 seconds I’m going to show you a letter I’ve just written to the President.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
You see, I’ve spent the last 40 years advising top government officials…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
In the late 1990s, for example, I worked with members of the Federal Reserve bank to save America from a $1.3 trillion banking crisis.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
It would have imploded the US economy. But thanks to my work, it never happened.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
After 9/11, I started working with senior military leaders at the Pentagon and the highest ranks of the CIA.</div>

And helped them develop a financial model to predict the next 9/11… by analyzing unusual activity in airline stocks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
A few years later, in 2007, I delivered a message to the US Treasury.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Warning them the housing collapse was about to get a whole lot worse.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But in all those years…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And despite all those threats to our nation…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
I never had to write a letter to the president of the United States…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Until today!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Take a look…</div>

I recently wrote this letter to the President…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Warning him about what I expect to happen on July 1st, 2018…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And I want to share my findings with you today…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Because thanks to this event…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
You now have a small retirement window.</div>
<div class="clockdiv" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
If you’re older than 60, the next <span class="days" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></span>days will be critical for you…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Take the right steps, and you could secure a comfortable retirement in 2018.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
If you do nothing during that small window of opportunity…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
I’m afraid you won't be able to retire comfortably.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
I know that’s a huge claim…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And that what I’m about to tell you may be hard to believe…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But I’ve built my career predicting events that most people thought were “unthinkable”…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
When I predicted the mortgage crisis, for example, nobody believed me either.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
In the summer of 2008, I wrote this letter to top advisors in the presidential campaign:</div>
<img class="image-center" src="https://d13p2xj50zkyqm.cloudfront.net/promos_1/AF/AWN/AWN_SDRBlockChain_0917/AWN_SDRBlockChain_lettertoTrump_002.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; display: block; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;" /><br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
“We can expect another panic spike in October 2008. This financial crisis is not over.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Unfortunately, everyone in Washington thought such a systemic collapse was impossible.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But three weeks later Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Panic took over…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And markets crashed across the globe, wiping out $10.2 trillion of wealth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Those who ignored my warnings lost everything.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But had you placed one single trade I’ll tell you more about later…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
You could have turned a small retirement account of $10,000 into $293,900…<span class="red" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #cc0000; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 1rem;">*</span></div>

In a matter of months.<span class="red" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #cc0000; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 1rem;">*</span></div>
<div class="floatDisclaim--right" style="background: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 500px; padding: 15px; position: relative; right: 0px; top: 0px; z-index: 4;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
<span class="red" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #cc0000;">*</span>The examples provided may not be representative of typical results. Your capital is at risk when you invest in securities – you can lose some or all of your money. Never risk more than you can afford to lose.</div>

More recently, I predicted that the UK would vote to leave the European Union (the so-called Brexit).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

Once again, those who ignored me were caught completely off guard.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
This has all been caught on camera, by the way.</div>

This event could either help you secure a comfortable retirement once and for all…</div>

Or condemn you to spend your “golden years” struggling to pay for food, medicine and even the most basic necessities.</div>

Facts that are normally ignored by the “fake news” mainstream media.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The plan you’re about to see, for example, has even been confirmed by members of the global elite.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

In Short, Come July 1st, 2018… I Fully Expect the Global Elite to Implement a MAJOR Change to the Plumbing of Our Financial System</h3>

It’s a brand-new worldwide banking system called Distributed Ledger Technology.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And it will have a huge impact on seniors who are now preparing for retirement…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
It will impact your IRA or 401(k)…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Checking and savings account…</div>

And any cash you have parked in the US financial system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

There will be nothing the White House can do.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
They have no direct control over the institutions that will carry this out.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The global elites’ plan is in motion… and my research indicates this new system will be rolled out on July 1.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Once it goes live, here’s what I expect to happen…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
***Under the guidance of the government, global elites will use that new financial system to replace the US dollar with their own globalist currency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But I found a “loophole” that allows you to take a direct stake on this new globalist currency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And come July 1st, this currency could explode higher… making you a small fortune.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

But that’s not all.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
***With the globalist currency replacing the dollar, demand for Treasury bonds will dry up… cutting the US government’s main source of funding.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

But you won’t have to worry…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

But the government, which is coordinating this entire thing, has even issued a memo.</div>

The memo clearly states:</div>

Look, for years the global elites have been quietly laying the groundwork to replace the US dollar with their own globalist currency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

The government has even set up a special task force.</div>

And they’ve been meeting behind closed doors to discuss the details.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 2rem; margin: 1em 0.667em; text-align: center;">
Here’s a “leaked” photo of their last meeting…</h3>

And it’s not just me saying this…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Barbara C., a former US Treasury Department attaché to the European Union, was able to infiltrate one of those internal government discussions…</div>

And she was stunned with what she heard. She said:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
“If the world <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><u style="box-sizing: border-box;">seeks to diversify away from the US dollar</u></span>, then [Distributed Ledgers] could initiate for the government an entirely different type of construction project.”</div>

Another member of the global elite, Carl T., confirmed that “there’s much anticipation surrounding Distributed Ledger technology.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Their intentions couldn’t be clearer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
They’ve already laid out the plan…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
They’ve set up a special task force…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And now that The President is in power, they’re ready to pull the trigger!</div>

Globalists Are Already Preparing to<br class="hidebr" style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Blame All the Chaos on The President</h3>

His nationalistic agenda is the exact opposite of the globalists’ hidden agenda of world government, world money and world taxation.</div>

The President believes in “America first,” not globalism…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
He believes in immigration control, not open borders.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
He said himself…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
“There is no such thing as a global anthem, a global currency or a global flag. This is the United States of America that I’m representing.”</div>

That’s why he already pulled our nation out of the globalists’ international trade deal known as TPP…</div>

And defied global elites by pulling out of their Paris climate accord.</div>

Put simply, The President is a major threat to the global elites’ agenda.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

With Distributed Ledgers, I fully expect them to finally implement their plan to replace the US dollar with their own globalist currency…</div>

The U.K. <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Independent</i> newspaper published an article saying:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
“The great dollar crisis… will follow the banking crisis and the Great Recession — and it will all be sparked by The Donald.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Even <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Wall Street Journal</i> is playing the blame game.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
They wrote: “Could the new president bring forward the day the dollar loses its reserve-currency status?”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The Journal actually quoted me in that specific article.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
I had to explain to them that global elites are the real threat to America…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
NOT The President policies.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
As you’re about to see, the global elites have been working on this plan to dethrone the dollar for years.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
It just so happens now they have the perfect scapegoat to execute their plan.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 2rem; margin: 1em 0.667em; text-align: center;">
It’s Their Chance to END<br class="hidebr" style="box-sizing: border-box;" />America’s “Exorbitant Privilege”</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
You see, many economists thought our massive government debt would trigger a dollar crisis.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But they’ve been proven wrong again, again and again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Have you noticed that our debt has been exploding for years…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And yet, nothing has happened to the US dollar?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The reason is simple…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The US dollar remains the world’s reserve currency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
That means other nations have to hold and use the US dollar for international trade, instead of their own currencies.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
This creates a virtually unlimited demand for US dollars…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And it allows us to print trillions of dollars each year to pay for wars, debt and anything we want.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Basically, it’s a license to print money and abuse the global system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And that’s why we’ve been able to accumulate more than $19 trillion in debt without suffering any consequences.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
As long as there’s no alternative to the US dollar, we can keep doing that forever.</div>

Look, our nation had an amazing run with the US dollar as the #1 reserve currency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Because of it, we have the world’s best technology…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The word’s most influential culture…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The world’s most powerful military…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
We were able to build a true empire with seemingly unlimited control of the world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But that’s precisely why global elites are sick of the US dollar.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
How do you think the other 190+ nations feel about the fact we can print a $100 bill anytime we want…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
While they actually have to pony up $100 of actual goods in order to obtain the same bill?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Global elites are sick of what has been called America’s “exorbitant privilege.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And now they’re finally taking action to <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">“fix”</i> this problem.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
For years, they’ve been working on a plan to replace the US dollar with their own globalist currency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
What’s different this time is… they finally have the tool they need to execute their plan.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Let me prove it to you…</div>

My Predictions on the Globalist<br class="hidebr" style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Currency Have Been Confirmed</h3>

Over the last couple of years I’ve been all over TV… from Fox News to CNBC, CNN and Bloomberg…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Telling Americans that the financial global elite was planning to issue their own globalist currency called SDRs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And that they would use this new currency to REPLACE the US dollar as the global reserve currency.</div>

I’ve even written about this extensively in my best-selling books <i style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">The Road to Ruin</span></i> and <i style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">The New Case for Gold.</span></i></div>

I’m sure some people in the mainstream media thought I was crazy…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But the United Nations and the government have both CONFIRMED this plan to replace the US dollar is real.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The UN said <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">we need “a new global reserve system…</span> that no longer relies on the United States dollar as the single major reserve currency.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And the government admitted <u style="box-sizing: border-box;">they want to make “the special drawing right (SDR) the principal reserve asset in the [International Monetary System].”</u></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
More recently, they advanced their plan by helping private institutions, such as the UK’s Standard Chartered Bank, issue bonds in SDRs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Although our mainstream media ignored this major event, the UK media reported:</div>

This is all happening.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And once Distributed Ledgers go live on July 1st, 2018…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
This trend will accelerate…</div>

And many other nations will be able to dump the US dollar for SDRs.</div>

Look, you don’t need to be an economist to connect the dots here.</div>

But let me sum it all up for you…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Fact #1 — The government issues a globalist currency called SDRs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Fact #2 — The government has confirmed they want to replace the US dollar with SDRs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Fact #3 — The government has confirmed Distributed Ledgers can be used for “currency substitution”… and they’ve even set up a special task force.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Why do you think they’re so interested in Distributed Ledgers?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The government wouldn't be looking at this technology to create a dollar payment system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
They'd be looking at it to create an SDR payment system, because that's the currency they issue.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Remember this picture of the task force I showed you earlier? Take a look again…</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
See that woman at the center?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
That’s Christine Lagarde, head of the government.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
When asked about the task force, she said:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
“As I see it, all this amounts to a brave new world for the financial sector.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Yes, a brave new world where the dollar is no longer the world reserve currency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Barbara C., a former US Treasury Department attaché to the European Union, has reached the same conclusion.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
She said <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">the link between the globalists’ currency and Distributed Ledgers “is impossible to avoid.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And that “the government seems to be exploring the possibility of permitting <u style="box-sizing: border-box;">a broader use of [their globalist currency] beyond internal transactions</u> among member central banks.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Make no mistake…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The government is planning to use Distributed Ledgers to replace the US dollar with SDRs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And just to be clear…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
SDRs will NOT be available to everyday folks like you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
It’s not something you can have in your wallet.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Instead, you’ll be left with devalued dollars.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But I found a “loophole” that allows you to take a stake in this exciting new currency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Just remember, you must act before July 1, 2018…</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 2rem; margin: 1em 0.667em; text-align: center;">
Because Once This Plan Goes Live… Your Retirement Window Will Slam Shut Forever</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
That means if you’re older than 60, you only have a few days to prepare.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Once this plan goes live, I’m afraid you’ll no longer be able to retire comfortably.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
You see, once other nations start accumulating the globalist currency through Distributed Ledgers…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
They will no longer need to hold dollars.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And that will have a DIRECT impact on welfare programs, such as Social Security and Medicare.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
When we buy things from other nations, like textiles, electronics, etc…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
We pay them in US dollars.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And what do they do with that money?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
They can’t use it in their own economies. So most of them invest in Treasury bonds.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And that’s exactly how our government finances its operations…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
By issuing Treasury bonds to other nations.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Once Distributed Ledgers go live, other nations will no longer need to buy Treasury bonds.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And that means our government will no longer be able to finance its normal operations, including welfare programs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
I showed you how some private banks have already started to issue SDR bonds.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
That process will accelerate once Distributed Ledgers go live…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
With many other nations dumping US Treasury bonds in exchange for SDR bonds…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Essentially cutting the funding of the US government…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And YOUR Social Security and Medicare.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
That’s why this new financial system could have a HUGE impact on seniors who depend on Social Security income to live.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

Let me explain exactly how Distributed Ledgers work…</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 2rem; margin: 1em 0.667em; text-align: center;">
The Government-Led Currency Coup… Revealed</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
As I mentioned before, most international financial transactions are conducted in the US dollar...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And that means they must pass through the US banking system’s network.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
This gives the US government an incredible amount of power.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
They can not only see all the transactions, but stop, trace or freeze them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
For example, in 2014 the Obama administration fined French bank BNP Paribas $9 billion because they did business with Cuba and Iran.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The bank didn’t break any French laws.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But the US government threatened to kick them out of the US banking system if they didn’t pay the fee.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Since the US dollar plays such a key role in international trade…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Being kicked out of the US banking system is like a death sentence.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
As long as the US dollar remains the world’s dominant reserve currency…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
International financial institutions must be able to clear and settle US dollar transactions if they want to remain in business.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
That’s why French bank BNP Paribas paid the fee.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Something similar happened with Britain’s Standard Chartered Bank, Germany’s Commerzbank and Switzerland’s UBS, among others.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But what if global elites could set up another network beyond the reach of the US government…</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 2rem; margin: 1em 0.667em; text-align: center;">
And What if Other Countries Could<br class="hidebr" style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Use That Network to Settle Their Transactions in SDRs, Instead of the US Dollar?</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
That’s exactly what Distributed Ledger technology is all about.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
It’s a new financial technology to clear and settle international financial transactions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
With this distributed system, America will no longer have a stranglehold over the world’s international finance system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
It allows foreign banks and other institutions to conduct transactions in SDRs instead of dollars…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And transfer funds across international borders without using America’s payment system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
You see, for years the government has been planning to replace the US dollar with SDRs…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
But they didn’t have the infrastructure necessary to make that happen.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
They didn’t have a decentralized payment system that could facilitate wide adoption of SDRs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Now they do!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
With a Distributed Ledger, it will be much easier for other nations to dump the US dollar and replace it with SDRs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Since this is an untraceable, encrypted ledger…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Countries like China and Russia will be able to invest in SDR bonds… and the US government will never know.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
It’s totally outside America’s control.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And because it’s a Distributed Ledger, there’s no choke point we can control.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
That means we can’t stop it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Remember, this is all part of the global elites’ agenda of world government, world money, and world taxation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
They’re going for the jugular…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Because they know replacing the US dollar with their globalist currency is the ultimate way to transfer power from the US to the global elites.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Don’t get me wrong…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Your dollars in your wallet or bank account won’t disappear from circulation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
When global elites make that switch…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
That new globalist currency will NOT trickle down to you and me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
It will remain at the top of the system, in the vaults of central banks, monetary agencies and global corporations.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
You won’t have SDRs in your wallet.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Instead, we'll be left with near worthless dollars for everyday transactions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The dollar will become just a local currency… no different than the Mexican peso.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

The US dollar will be good only in America.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
They won’t be good anywhere else because other nations will NOT need them.</div>

But here’s the thing…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
All those trades were practically off limits to everyday folks like you and me…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
For two reasons…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
First, they required complicated transactions in the forex market.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And second, they were extremely hard to predict.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Which is why I’m so excited with today’s opportunity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
I found a “loophole” that allows you to own an “unofficial” stake in the future world reserve currency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
It’s 100% legal…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
It doesn’t require you to open a forex account…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And it doesn’t require a lot of money to get started.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
That means anyone can open this trade.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
Plus, unlike those situations I described above…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
This trade is totally predictable.</div>

As I said, once a Distributed Ledger goes live…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The globalist currency will NOT trickle down to everyday folks like you and me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
It will stay at the top… and it will be exclusive to the financial elite ONLY.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
And yet, once this new currency takes over as the world’s top form of reserve cash…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
The few who have access to it could make an incredible fortune.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

Unfortunately, three weeks later I was proven right.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

And the vultures who see what’s coming, and use the crash to profit.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">
That means just a few days from now…</div>

You could be getting $1,000 or more deposited into your account.<span class="red" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #cc0000; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 1rem;">*</span></div>

I’ve put all the details inside another intelligence report called <i style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">How to Get $1,000 or More a Month… Regardless of What Happens to Social Security.</span></i><span class="red" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #cc0000; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 1rem;">*</span></div>

It’s yours FREE.</div>

Just keep in mind there is no such thing as a risk-free investment. And that past performance is no guarantee of future return.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.45; margin: 0.9375em 1.25em;">

To make as much as $293,900 by targeting the weakest companies in the market…<span class="red" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #cc0000; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 1rem;">*</span></div>

And the chance to get $1,000 every month, regardless of what happens to Social Security.<span class="red" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #cc0000; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 1rem;">*</span></div>

Those venues don’t allow me to share the most sensitive moneymaking moves with regular folks like you.</div>

After July 1st, 2018, I’m afraid those who don’t prepare will never be able to retire comfortably.</div>

<em><strong>Editor’s Note (26 December</strong> 2015): BBC Capital brings you one of our most-read stories on where you can live well on a budget.</em></div>

Paying for the roof over your head is eye-wateringly expensive, and economising is getting you nowhere fast. So, could there be a simpler, easier life?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
We went to question-and-answer site Quora to find <a href="http://www.quora.com/Where-in-the-world-can-I-live-cheaply-sub-1000-month-that-has-good-weather-and-reliable-Internet?share=1" style="background: transparent; color: #064473; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">the best place in the world to live cheaply — with great weather and reliable internet</a> of course.</div>

After all, no idyllic paradise is complete without speedy wi-fi.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
South East Asia was top of the list for many Quora users.<a href="http://qr.ae/RH1rcm" style="background: transparent; color: #064473; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Jingcho Yang</a> suggested Bali, Indonesia, for “rockstar living on backpacker budgets”.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
The weather is balmy and beaches are “pretty awesome,” Yang wrote. “There's a few hundred beaches around the circumference of the island. Most are still 'undiscovered' by outsiders.” </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
Two-bedroom homes in good neighbourhoods cost about $200 per month, Yang wrote, and luxuries such as top-flight French cuisine cost a third of the price of major cities, because of the island’s huge, competitive hospitality industry. A two-hour spa treatment is $20, and pool villas go for less than $100 per night, she said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
“Bali rivals any major city I've been to in terms of diversity and sophistication in dining, nightlife and design,” Yang added. “It's home to some of the world's best beach lounges and clubs. An endless list of sporting activities, yoga, water-sports.” </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
Plus, Yang wrote, there's a “growing niche of digital nomads on the island too”, with the locus around Ubud town.</div>

Meanwhile, teacher <a href="http://qr.ae/RH8BOT" style="background: transparent; color: #064473; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Nathan Edgerton</a> wrote in 2011 that he was living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where he was sharing a house with a friend for just $70 per month. “I eat out for every meal, even though it's generally at cheaper Thai restaurants. I have plenty of money to go out drinking with friends and to train at a kick-boxing gym. I can do all this easily for under $700 per month,” he wrote.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
“Chiang Mai is a great place to live, but you could live pretty much anywhere in Thailand with similar expenses,” he added. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
For Spanish speakers, there’s Latin America. <a href="http://qr.ae/RH1ruz" style="background: transparent; color: #064473; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Brian Fey</a> has been living “frugally” in Mexico since 2004 and it has become more and more popular with expats. “Where I live there are people from Argentina, France, Belgium, Germany, Canada, the USA, Switzerland, Chile, etc,” he wrote.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
Getting six-month or longer-term visas is fairly “easy” for people from most nationalities, he wrote. Fey added that despite the negative news stories about violence in Mexico, “it is quite safe and there are millions of expats from other countries. Some areas have concentrations of expats: Ajijic, San Miguel de Allende and Patzcauro".</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
He added that while renting is generally good value, there are also a large number of expats looking for house-sitters, so a responsible person “could live for free all year in very swanky places”. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
Eastern Europe is also a popular choice. <a href="http://qr.ae/RH1yh6" style="background: transparent; color: #064473; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Mircea Goia</a> voted for Romania, where he said you can live easily for under $1,000 per month, including food and rent, in part because the average monthly salary is only about $575 and even lower in smaller cities. Goia posted his answer in 2013.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
“Real estate prices have dropped dramatically as well, thanks to the global crisis, so you can buy a cheaper home/apartment/land,” Goia wrote. Those who wish to rent in the capital, Bucharest, should expect to pay around $200 to $500 per month, he said, adding that “people are friendly towards foreigners” and many know basic English. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
Whereas <a href="http://qr.ae/RH1yoy" style="background: transparent; color: #064473; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Chinmaya Patanaik</a>, suggested “one of the most beautiful cities in the world”, Prague, Czech Republic, where the cost of living is lower than other western European cities.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
“With $1,000, you can live quite comfortably. You can get a decent one-bedroom or a studio apartment with $400 or less. This also includes expenses on utilities such as internet, heating, electricity etc. The internet connection is very fast. I pay around $30 per month for a 100Mbps connection.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">
Patanaik added, that although summers can be hot ”you can cool off with a traditional Czech beer for just $1.50.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.8em; letter-spacing: -0.1px; line-height: 1.55556em; margin-left: 82.5781px; margin-right: 20.6406px; margin-top: 1.55556em; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px;">

Few places are tilting toward a cashless future as quickly as <a class="meta-loc" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/sweden/index.html?inline=nyt-geo" style="color: #326891;" title="More news and information about Sweden.">Sweden</a>, which has become hooked on the convenience of paying by app and plastic.</div>

This tech-forward country, home to the music streaming service Spotify and the maker of the Candy Crush mobile games, has been lured by the innovations that make digital payments easier. It is also a practical matter, as many of the country’s banks no longer accept or dispense cash.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="285" data-total-count="721" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4375rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 120px; max-width: 540px; width: 495px;">

Not everyone is cheering. Sweden’s embrace of electronic payments has alarmed consumer organizations and critics who warn of a rising threat to privacy and increased vulnerability to sophisticated Internet crimes. Last year, the number of electronic fraud cases surged to 140,000, more than double the amount a decade ago, according to Sweden’s Ministry of Justice.</div>

The verdict caught many people off guard.</div>

It was expected that Zhou Yongkang's trial would be played out for the Chinese public; his failings strung out for every citizen to see.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In similar high-profile cases, like that of Zhou's protege, Bo Xilai, the foreign and Chinese media were given 48 hours' notice that Bo's trial would begin. Reporters camped outside the courthouse for days, breathlessly waiting for updates.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In March, the head of China's Supreme People's Court had promised that Zhou Yongkang's trial would be "open in accordance with the law". The trial was set to take place in the eastern port city of Tianjin. It seemed Zhou was set to follow Bo's pattern. Like other senior officials convicted of serious crimes, it was expected he would receive a suspended death sentence.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Months passed without any word. Some guessed that Zhou Yongkang was not co-operating with prosecutors. Others believed that his crimes were too much of an embarrassment for the government.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
After all, Zhou Yongkang had held a seat at the very top of the Chinese government pyramid. If he was thoroughly corrupt, some in China might ask whether others at the top were rotten too.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #404040; font-family: Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In the end, the decision to keep Zhou Yongkang's trial secret matches the case surrounding him, and Zhou's own public persona: inaccessible and secretive.</div>

You have to have them, and your hand has already palmed your debit card--but wait! Did your mortgage payment clear your money market account yet?<br />
<br />
You could whip out your smart phone and check your balance using your bank's app, and maybe make a quick transfer between accounts. If you access your bank account information on your mobile phone, are you jeopardizing the security of your checking and savings accounts ?<br />
<br />
No, you're not, says Phil Blank, managing director of security, risk and fraud at Javelin Strategy and Research--not as long as you exercise some basic online street smarts.<br />
<br />
"All you need to do is use a little common sense," Blank says.<br />
<br />
Consumers worried about mobile banking securityIf you think twice before accessing banking information on your smart phone, you're not alone. Even though smart phone adoption has jumped, more consumers with mobile banking capabilities are concerned that sharing personal financial information on their phones will open themselves to hacking and fraudulent activity.<br />
<br />
According to a 2010 Javelin survey, about 40 percent of smart phone owners said mobile banking made them nervous--up dramatically from 26 percent in 2009.<br />
<br />
"It's very clear to us that people are saying, 'I am nervous about using my smart phone to bank,'" Blank says.<br />
<br />
In Blank's estimation, financial institutions must address this perception quickly, or else many consumers will never take advantage of mobile banking.<br />
<br />
Banks: We've made mobile banking safeMarc Warshawsky, senior vice president of mobile channel planning and design at Bank of America, says its customers have no reason to worry about their financial information being stolen--whether they're using their computer or their smart phone to bank.<br />
<br />
"We've taken the necessary steps to minimize any risk to their accounts, whether they access them on their mobile phone or from their computers," he says.<br />
<br />
Besides, Warshawsky says, should something happen and their phones are hacked, customers of Bank of America would be protected by its zero-liability guarantee. "They would not be responsible for any unauthorized charges to their debit cards, credit cards or accounts," he says.<br />
<br />
Smart banking on your smart phoneIf you're still unsure, here's what Blank and Warshawsky say you need to do to be sure the transactions you make using your smart phones are safe:<br />
<br />
Do…<br />
Stick to your bank's apps for mobile banking or trusted, well-reviewed third-party personal finance apps. Download them directly from the app store for your phone's type--iPhone, Android, etc. <br />
Treat your smart phone as if it's a PC. "I really hate the term 'smart phone,'" Blank says, "because what it really is is a PC that happens to make phone calls. If you look at your phone that way, you're minimizing your risks." For instance, install antivirus software on your phone as you would your PC. <br />
Monitor the whereabouts of your phone. One big difference between your phone and your desktop computer is that the latter is much less likely to fall out of your pocket or purse. Check every so often to make sure your smart phone is on you when you're out and about. <br />
Don't…<br />
Use public Wi-Fi access to conduct your banking business. You can't be sure they're secure, Blank says. Opt for wireless networks that require a network security key or have some other form of security. <br />
Be the first in line to use your bank's new app. "Wait until it's been about 30 to 40 days and then go and download it," Blank advises. The reason? Sometimes early versions of apps contain malware or are not safe. <br />
Leave the keys in plain sight. Never send a text message on your phone containing sensitive information such as your Social Security number or checking account and savings accounts numbers or even your passwords to log into them. "We don't give the customer the option to store anything sensitive on their phones," Warshawsky says. "That's for their own protection." <br />
Be fooled by emails or text messages asking for personal information. Often, these "phishing" messages claim to be from your bank and ask for personal information or ask you to click on certain links to update account information. "We would never ask you to provide your ID or password over digital communications," Warshawsky says. You should also avoid visiting any websites that you don't know anything about. <br />
Using your phone to bank on the go can be a great convenience. As long as you're smart about it, says Blank, there's no reason you shouldn't access your bank accounts through your smart phone.<br />

When you are working and have financial obligations such as a mortgage, college funding, etc., you have a need for higher levels of insurance. In retirement, people often figure they don't have to worry about replacing lost income; therefore, the need for life insurance is non-existent. However, this may not always be the case. <br />
<br />
Generally, there are two main uses for life insurance in retirement: to replace lost income or to pay estate tax upon death. For instance, you may still have dependents that need your Social Security or pension income and would suffer a financial hardship in the event of your death. When it comes to estate planning, life insurance is often used to pay estate taxes rather than forcing heirs to liquidate other assets. To determine whether insurance in retirement would be necessary, you should start by asking yourself, "Will someone suffer a financial hardship if I die?" Remember, this "someone" could be a spouse, significant other or even a child. If the answer is yes, then you need to protect your assets or income stream. If no, then life insurance may not be necessary. Once you figure out if you do in fact need it, then it's important to consider how much you may need. <br />
<br />
For retirees who receive a pension, the highest benefit is generally paid for a "life only" or single life payout. While this provides a higher retirement income than a joint-life annuity, the benefit stops upon your death. In this case, life insurance would be purchased to replace the lost pension benefit for the surviving spouse or other dependents. A strategy called Pension Maximization can help. This involves using the additional income you receive by choosing the single life annuity over the joint life annuity to pay for life insurance premiums. Since life insurance costs are based on age and health status, it is important to balance the higher income with potentially higher life insurance premiums if you have health problems. <br />
<br />
For example, a retiree could choose between the following: <br />
<br />
<br />
Option 1: Pension of $5,000 per month with no survivor benefit <br />
Option 2: Pension of $4,800 with a 50 percent survivor benefit (Survivor would receive $2,400 per month) <br />
Option 3: Pension of $4,500 with a 100 percent survivor benefit (Survivor will continue to receive $4,800 per month) <br />
In this case, Pension Maximization means you choose option 1. The $500 per month additional income benefit is used to purchase enough life insurance to replace the lost pension of $4,500 per month. If the insurance will not do this, then the retiree may be better off choosing a lower payment and leaving the survivor benefit. (The above is an example of how this works and the numbers used are for illustrative purposes only.) <br />
<br />
In the case of Social Security, if one spouse dies, the surviving spouse is entitled to the higher Social Security of the two. In other words, one check stops coming in. This loss of income may be a burden for the survivor. Purchasing life insurance on each spouse will provide death protection to replace the lost Social Security income. <br />
<br />
Finally, when it comes to estate planning, under the current estate tax laws, most people will avoid having to pay estate taxes. You must keep in mind though that the current laws are scheduled to change in the near future and depending upon what direction Congress takes with the estate tax, you could find your estate exposed to higher taxes. Also, in some cases where your estate is made up of illiquid assets such as a business or real estate, you would not want to have to put your heirs in a position to having to sell the assets. This is where life insurance can provide much needed liquidity. <br />
<br />
As for types of life insurance to buy, the choices can be confusing. One thing for sure is that Term Insurance is not appropriate for retirement due to the fact that this type of insurance usually ends between the ages of 70-75. Since life insurance needs in retirement are usually permanent, consider policies such as Whole life, Variable life, Universal life or Second to die (insures two and payable after the death of the second) to name a few. There are other permanent life insurance policies you may consider as well. <br />
<br />
You need to carefully evaluate your needs and the cost for protecting those needs. Have a financial planner run the numbers. Only then can you make the right decision about whether life insurance in retirement is necessary for you. <br />

This loss of income may be a burden for the survivor. Purchasing life insurance on each spouse will provide death protection to replace the lost Social Security income. <br />
<br />
Finally, when it comes to estate planning, under the current estate tax laws, most people will avoid having to pay estate taxes. You must keep in mind though that the current laws are scheduled to change in the near future and depending upon what direction Congress takes with the estate tax, you could find your estate exposed to higher taxes. Also, in some cases where your estate is made up of illiquid assets such as a business or real estate, you would not want to have to put your heirs in a position to having to sell the assets. This is where life insurance can provide much needed liquidity. <br />
<br />
As for types of life insurance to buy, the choices can be confusing. One thing for sure is that Term Insurance is not appropriate for retirement due to the fact that this type of insurance usually ends between the ages of 70-75. Since life insurance needs in retirement are usually permanent, consider policies such as Whole life, Variable life, Universal life or Second to die (insures two and payable after the death of the second) to name a few. There are other permanent life insurance policies you may consider as well. <br />
<br />
You need to carefully evaluate your needs and the cost for protecting those needs. Have a financial planner run the numbers. Only then can you make the right decision about whether life insurance in retirement is necessary for you. <br />

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Orders for U.S. factory goods fell in June for the second time in three months, a sign the anemic economy is causing strains among manufacturers.<br />
<br />
Orders for manufactured goods decreased by 0.8% from the prior month to $ 440.69 billion, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Aside from the drop in factory orders, an important reading on the nation's service sector fell to its lowest since February 2010. The Institute for Supply Management said Wednesday its non-manufacturing purchasing managers' index slipped to 52.7 in July from 53.3 in June.<br />
<br />
Payroll giant Automatic Data Processing Inc. and consultancy Macroeconomic Advisers said private-sector payrolls increased in July, but their somewhat upbeat report didn't show a jobs gain considered robust or particularly healthy.<br />
<br />
Despite a deal in Washington to raise the government debt ceiling and avoid default, stock market prices Wednesday were down, reflecting deepening worry about the overall economy.<br />
<br />
"Good economic reports have been few and far between and the slowdown is real, " said Joel Naroff, who runs Naroff Economic Advisors in Holland, Pa. "I don't expect a double-dip, but this economy doesn't need any more speed bumps put in the road."<br />
<br />
Overall economic growth was soft in the first half of 2011, as consumers pulled back sharply on their spending. Unemployment in the U.S. is high, and elevated gasoline prices mean consumers have to fork over more of their incomes, which aren't rising much.<br />
<br />
The decline in factory orders during June follows a 0.6% increase in May and a drop of 0.9% during April. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast a 1.0% drop in overall factory orders in June.<br />
<br />
Capital investment on equipment by U.S. businesses rose mildly. A barometer of business spending within the data, non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, increased by 0.4%.<br />
<br />
Manufacturing has been a strong part of the economy as it recovers from the recession. But factories have been feeling stress from a slowing economy.<br />
<br />
Last week, the government reported orders for long-lasting goods tumbled a second time in three months during June. On Wednesday, the Commerce Department, in its factory report, revised the durable-goods orders drop, to 1.9% from the previously estimated 2.1%.<br />
<br />
A report this week suggested manufacturing slowed sharply in July. The ISM's manufacturing index fell to 50.9 from 55.3 in June. The new reading wasn't much above 50, the minimum level that indicates expanding activity in the goods- making sector. Readings below 50 suggest contraction.<br />

(KO) said it plans to offer $2 billion of senior notes as the beverage company aims to raise proceeds to fund an exchange offer of several series of notes.<br /><br />The company intends to sell $1 billion of notes due in 2016 and another $1 billion to mature in 2021, saying the proceeds would be used to fund an exchange offer of up to $2 billion of notes issued by a subsidiary, Coca-Cola Refreshments USA Inc.<br /><br />The maturity dates of the exchange offer vary from as early as 2012 to as late as 2036. The early participation payment per $1,000 principal amount of old notes accepted for exchange was generally set at $40, although it was $10 for two series of notes due in 2012.<br /><br />The exchange offer expires at midnight EDT on Aug. 30, unless otherwise extended. A number of companies are using the record-low interest-rate environment to cut borrowing costs, although Coca-Cola didn't detail why it was launching the offer.<br /><br />Both tranches launched at the narrow end of price guidance, suggesting good demand. The five-year notes launched with a risk premium of 57 basis points over Treasurys and the 10-year notes with a risk premium of 72 basis points over Treasurys.<br /><br />Pricing is expected later Wednesday.<br /><br />Leading the debt sale are BNP Paribas SA (BNPQY, BNP.FR), Citigroup Inc. (C) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS).<br /><br />This is the first time Coca-Cola has issued debt this year, according to data provider Dealogic. The company's last debt offering was for $4.5 billion in November 2010.<br /><br />The deal has been rated Aa3 by Moody's Investors Service and A+ by Standard & Poor's.<br /><br />Last month, Coca-Cola reported its second-quarter earnings rose 18%, boosted by the company's recent bottler acquisition and strong volume growth overseas. But results were muted closer to home due to the struggling economy.<br /><br />Shares were up 1.4% to $68 in recent trading. <br /><br />-By John Kell, Dow Jones Newswires; 212-416-2480; john.kell@dowjones.com<br /><br />--Nicole Hong contributed to this article.Mostafa Al Ebrashyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04002615838302201431noreply@blogger.com0
