the CIA and NSA funded Google. That's a proven thing. There were research grants that they had for surveillance, and Google won those grants.

Who is actually watching us online? 

3 threat vectors: 1) scammers and hackers, 2) big tech, and 3) big brother.  The last 2 work together.  

Google has been shaping the whole NSA and how the NSA collects data.  

How much is Google in bed with the NSA, CIA, and all of that it seems like anybody who is inconvenient with the government gets deplatformed, or anyone who goes against the whole cathedral narrative.  Is there any way of knowing how much the government is dictating who gets canceled and who doesn't? 

The scientists and doctors were censored.  Dude, there were thousands of them that got censored.  So it wasn't just those big names. 

I don't know if we can really know or predict, but we can observe.  We know that the CIA and the NSA funded Google.  That's a proven thing.  There were research grants that they had for surveillance, and Google won those grants.

The other thing that I think of a lot is the Chinese social credit system, which is going on right now in China.  This is real.  It's going on right now.  It's technological slavery, and Google is right at the heart of it.  They have worked closely with the Chinese government.  They don't care about people or individuals.  And I don't consider Google any better than government and anyone who seeks power.  And they all work together, putting this network into place that we don't even have an idea how powerful this network is.

8:45  There's a pro-human and anti-human vibe, and if you're trying to suppress freedom, I consider that anti-human, because then you're just looking for slaves.  Then the liberty side of the spectrum, which is pro-human, we all believe that liberty is the way to reach human flourishing at the maximized potential.  So all of these big companies seem to be working together in a very anti-human way that is . . . totally disturbing.

More disturbing to me are the hordes of people who follow along, get told what to do, get told what to think, and these hordes do not question it.  They don't question the evidence in front of them.  They don't reassess their view. 

What are the risks from hackers and scammers?  

"We own the science." Well, they've paid fot it, haven't they?

How to Invest in Crazy Times with Larry Lepard

 

If we have inflation for the next 10 to 15 years, bonds are doomed.  Growth stocks are doomed.  If you go back and study the 1970s, what you see is that the good performing investments of the 70s were commodities--gold, oil, . . .  Bonds got destroyed because of inflation and regular . . . .  

Start with a big theme.  Make sure you are on the right side of a macro trend.  We're no longer in a deflationary world; we've entered an inflationary period.  It may not last more than 10 years, but certainly we're only a year or two into it.  

In general, Commodities of stuff versus bonds and growth.  This is Uranium, this is oil, this is lithium, gold, silver, wheat . . .  In this period of deflation, the market got the wrong signals, and we under invested in the things we need to live our lives. When we finally broke out of the down trend, inflation was so virulent.  We've had really bad inflation and sadly we're not going to be able to solve it instantly because we've had the inflation, in large part, because the supply . . . we haven't had the supply. 

We haven't invested in supply.  Investing in supply in this situation takes time.  You don't just turn on the tap and suddenly you got more oil; suddenly got more wheat, turn on the tap, and suddenly got more gold.  I mean it takes capital and it takes time to provide more supply to bring prices back in line.   I've been focusing on silver and gold, silver and gold mining stocks, but take a look at lithium.  I mean everyone says we need to go to more efficient cars; we need to have a more efficient car fleet.  That may not look that smart if electricity costs continue to go up.  But if were trending toward an electric car fleet, we need lithium to make those batteries.  The world in 10 years will need ten times the amount of lithium that we're mining now.  So, companies that are mining lithium are about to do extraordinarily well.  Get in front of a major trend that has years to run.  Apple and Google, for example, it's growing at 5% a year and trading at 25x earnings.  It's the best technology company in the world.  No doubt, but it's trading at 25x cash flow.  I've got gold mining companies that are growing at 50% a year and are trading at 3x cash flow.  That's a big divergence, right?  

Apple's market cap alone is equal to the sum of the bottom 180 companies within the S&P 500.
