Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-2273- John Pugliano and Jack Spirko on The Richest Man in Babylon and was originally published on August 16th, 2018.

The following are the original show notes from that episode…

I reached out to expert council member John Pugliano about doing this episode with me. I feel the biggest weakness in what our young people are not taught today, above all other things how to handle, earn, manage and invest money. While not the end all be all, I find The Richest Man in Babylon to be one of the best foundations on how to think about money ever written. John and I break this classic down today using the following outline of some of the main concepts presented in the book.

There are also some surprises in today’s show, a phone call from Patrick Roehrman, the arrival of Nick Ferguson and more. John and I did this recording at my kitchen table while he was visiting for the 10 Year Anniversary Party. Lots of other TSP folks were on the way in, so rather than edit out the disruptions we rolled with them. It makes for a fun show.

SUMMARY: Richest Man in Babylon

5 Laws of Gold (my version: money flows to where it’s treated best)

  • 1. Gold cometh gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not less than one-tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his family.
    • a. A portion is yours to keep.
    • b. 10%….my recommendation is 20% (in modern times, taxes eat up too much real income)
    • c. SAVE before you start to think about investing.
      • i. You can’t take advantage of Opportunity unless you have resources
        1
  • 2. Gold laboreth diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.
    • a. Money likes to “work” and doesn’t complain about being a “slave”….it works without compensation.
    • b. Money has no mind…YOU must find it profitable employment.
    • c. Magic of compounding interest…money multiplies.
      • i. Law of 72
        1
  • 3. Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.
    • a. Emphasize “protection” & “cautious”.
    • b. Be patient and disciplined….it takes TIME.
    • c. Invest vs Speculate (4th part of my book)
    • d. Seek out wise men…mentors. (take an old guy to lunch)
      • i. Knowledge in a specific field.
      • ii. Ignore ideology or imperfections…avoid Hero Worship
        • e. If times get tough or even if they don’t.
          • i. Plan for prosperity and failure…within your sphere of influence & control.
          • ii. If you have dependents buy term life insurance.
            1
  • 4. Gold slippeth away from the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.
    • a. You have to fix Stupid before you can fix Broke.
    • b. Don’t take advice from Stupid or Broke people.
      • i. Advanced advice: avoid these people all together.
        1
  • 5. Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.
    • a. Reality: lots of people are trying to screw you.
    • b. You’re NOT that smart.
    • c. Diversify because you’re going to have LOTS of failures.

Work – The Generator of Weath

  • 1. Wealth comes from work.
  • 2. First learn to work, then learn to have others work for you.
    • a. Start with what you know, where you are.
    • b. Story of Baker looking to buy a slave.
      • i. You can buy your own freedom.
      • ii. Work to acquire experience.
  • 3. Money is your ultimate slave.
    • a. The Boss/Owner has money, the Employee is broke.

Debt – The Enslaver of the Fool

1. Magic of Compounding Interest working against you.
2. Debt is SLAVERY…period.

Episode-163- TSP Rewind – Resist Domestication and Become a Feral Human

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-2704- Resist Domestication and Become a Feral Human and was originally published on August 4th, 2020.

The following are the original show notes from that episode…

I personally feel my father only gave me a few pieces of real wisdom. My childhood was not exactly the best be he did what he could and the wisdom he did give to me has stood the test of time. Much of it sounded crazy when he said it, today I see how wise it was.

When I was young, way to young to really understand he told me something as follows…

The people that run this country have one primary thing they want to do, fully domesticate the man. They want us to be like dogs or worse cattle. They want us to respond to a bell for dinner. They want you to shut up, sit down and put your paper on the left and your pencil on the right. They want you to obey. People don’t naturally do this. People resist this. We are animals and they act like that is bad.
`
Is a dog “bad”, is a lion “bad” when it kills to feed its cubs. If a bass “bad” when it eats a minnow or a frog or is it just being a bass. And if you go try to put a rope on a a buffalo’s neck and lead him where you want him what will he do? He will stomp your guts out. Does that make him “bad”. I mean he leaves you alone, he eats grass, he takes a crap and makes more buffalo. He only stomps you if you try to take him away or hurt him or his herd, right.
`
So what do we do when we want a buffalo we can move around, control, milk, kill for meat when we want to or breed when we want to for more meat and milk. We turn the buffalo into a stupid domesticated cow. A cow that lets us do anything we want to to it. One so stupid it eats, drinks and breeds when we tell it to, how we tell it to, the way we tell it to. We call this domestication. And that is their goal for us, fully domesticated humans.

Yea it sounds crazy and may be telling a 9 year old this is crazy but I was not the average 9 year old. Even then I sort of understood this. Today I fully understand this, I am also telling you that resistance to it is our only choice. Our people are so domesticated now that we don’t even need to “lock them up”, they move like a free range herd to the whims of the powers that be.

So what is the solution. Full rewilding is not really doable any more. Not everything in society is bad and most of us don’t want to live like Tarzan. Not to mention almost no where is left where you can do that anyway. So the solution is learn from our brother the pig. Thousands of years of domestication and the pig still goes feral as soon as it gets a chance. Today we discuss being a feral human, what that means, what it looks like, how it helps you and why you should inoculate your kids against domestication before the tax farmers even get a chance to do otherwise.

Episode-162- TSP Rewind – Resistance via Adaptation During the Great Reset

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-2775- Resistance via Adaptation During the Great Reset and was originally published on November 17th, 2020.

The following are the original show notes from that episode…

I ended up skipping two questions yesterday due to being flat worn out and having my voice start to strain after a week of the TSP 20 workshop. Today I am going to use those two bullet points to do a stand alone episode and I think it will work better that way.

These two questions were….

  1. Could block chain solve election fraud, and do they even want the fraud solved?
  2. Can the great reset be fought, is there anyway to stop it?

 

The short answers are yes, sort of and no in that order. We will cover the voting/blockchain part swiftly. Then dig into the more important aspect of resistance via adaption. The reset is already here, it is happening right now. Some driven by government, some by technocrats and oligarchs, some simply by trends in technology, resources and economics.

Also understand will “they” get what “they” want in this is not the same as can it be stopped. What you are really asking if you are awake to all this right now should be….

What can I, my family and my communities do to live my life on my terms in the coming decade of flux?

There is no place for this “they” crap anymore folks, they whoever the fuck they are to you, are going to do what THEY are going to do. They are like a storm or weather event you look at the forecast and go on with planning your life.

Join Me Today to Discuss

  • Can blockchain allow less corrupt elections
  • Would “they” want less fraud in elections, actually yes, depending on the “they”
  • What exactly is the “great reset” and how it is not a “conspiracy theory”
    • Is it all bad, may be not, some is just happening on its own
    • Some is really and I mean really bad
    • Remember the phrase “want in one hand, shit in the other and see what fills up first”
    • Yes the US is unique in this flux, even in the weakened state many are in
  • What you can’t do
    • Vote your way out
    • Stop it from happening at all

  • What I think the world looks like 10 years from now
    • Rural “neutral zones” in the US where you can be MOSTLY left alone
      • The price to buy inside one will be very, very high
      • The people in them will not trust “outsiders”
    • Energy will be heavily solar
    • Most cars will be electric
    • We will still rely a LOT on fossil fuel, mostly NG
    • Movements will be hyper tracked (especially in urban areas)
    • We will be cashless or very close right now only about 3% of M3 is in cash anyway
    • Barriers will be heavy going from fiat crypto to real crypto
    • Crypto economies will largely abandon dollar/euro pegging, some crypto likely BTC may stand as a “reserve”
    • Automation will have slaughtered conventional employment
    • College may become compulsory
    • Some state may succeed or be on the verge of succession
    • Some sort of vaccine record or something like it will your “digital passport”
    • It will look more like the Eastern US in Man in the High Castle then the movie 1984
  • The truth is I don’t know exactly what will happen but you won’t see a 1776 style revolution, certainly don’t bet on one

Episode-161- TSP Rewind – The Basics of Being Prepared for Most Things – Part Two

The Survival Podcast Posted on by  

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:23:59 — 19.2MB)

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-2303- The Basics of Being Prepared for Most Things – Part Two and was originally published on October 2nd, 2018.

The following are the original show notes from that episode…

We just had one hell of a hurricane in the Carolinas and the problems there are far from over. Storm season is still upon us and there will likely be at least one more major storm impact this year.

Next up, well winter is on the way, blizzards and ice storms are soon to follow. Next thing you know it will be spring, time for mudslides, tornadoes and other “fun stuff”. Then back to summer, forest fires, more storms and it just goes on.

If you think about it we don’t have a disaster season, we have seasons with disasters that are more common during them, and even that rule gets broken. You don’t think of winter and tornadoes but in 2015 in the three days following Christmas we had the December 2015 North American storm complex. In three days we had a total of 32 tornadoes confirmed, 60 people died and hundreds of homes were destroyed.

To be blunt, shit happens! And depending on the size of the shit, you are going to be your own first responder for hours, days or at times even weeks. As I say in Spirko’s 7th Law of Life. “Preparedness for hard times, is nothing more than being a responsible adult.”

Today we continue with Part Two and focus on Logistics, Communications and Documentation. Part one can be found here.

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-1428- Libertas a Virtual Nation and was originally published on September 17, 2014.

The following are the original show notes from that episode.

In Episode 1421 I discussed both the Estonian E-Citizen Program and Ecuador’s new Digital Currency and asked a simple question, could digital currencies and the concept of E-Citizenry be used to create a virtual nation.

I think this is a valuable thought experiment and I have some ideas I want to share today. The goal is to get a discussion going about what can be done, vs. what can’t be done. What might work vs. why nothing can work.

As part of this I created a forum thread to discuss a Virtual Nation’s Constitution would be like. There has been some interesting discussion and in particular some clear examples of limited thinking demonstrated in it. Part of this is my fault, for calling it a constitution. That framed it in the world of Statism vs. Nationalism. A better term would have been a Technical Specification.

What Would a Virtual Nation be Like

What Would a Virtual Nation be Like

Join Me Today As I Discuss…

  • First I don’t want to be in charge, this isn’t my thing it is a thing
  • Why we really should consider this
  • Why we would not need, presidents, senators, etc.
  • What makes a nation accepted by other nations and where VNs have an advantage
    • Land
    • Hard Force
    • Money
    • Population
    • Soft Force
    • Defensive Force
    • Defined Borders
  • What is a nation vs. what is a state
    • Nation – a large group of people who share a common language, culture, ethnicity, descent or history.
    • State – an organized community living under one government
  • How the economy might work
    • A set amount of contribution to the national reserve is established
    • A new citizen buys something like bitcoin
    • The bitcoin is exchanged for the nations currency
    • The bitcoin or other currency is held as a reserve
    • The two currencies are pegged to a fixed exchange rate
    • Citizens do business in the virtual nation with the nations currency
    • The reserve is a vault that citizens can buy currency from or convert it to an outside currency
    • The action of buying currency is what creates it
    • Yes Bitcoin already does a lot of this, sort of
  • Why do it?
    • As an example
    • As peaceful revolution and protest
    • To assert individual liberty however we can
  • Replacing roles of the state
    • Conflict resolution (courts)
    • Education
    • Security
    • Privacy

Episode-158- TSP Rewind – Turn Off The Fricken News

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:16:35 — 17.5MB)

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-1422- Turn Off The Fricken News and was originally published on September 9, 2014.

The following are the original show notes from that episode.

I have to tell you guys I have made the mistake recently of looking at main stream news for more than 10 seconds a day, it has my brain ready to ooze out of my eye sockets! The level of ignorance the typical American is capable of is now at an all time high in my view.

There is but one goal of all this, divide the people and put them in a state of fear. The lies are numerous. Such as the upcoming election is critical, Isis is in Houston and poor little children will be deported if we don’t do something soon.

Can it really be this simple? Yep!

Can it really be this simple? Yep!

Of course now the congress is weighing in on the domestic violence committed by an NFL player. If you think this is a good thing, let me ask you this. How many scum bag men punch women in the face every day and these clowns don’t care about it at all? Why do you think they care now?

Women do you think any of them would speak up for you if you were this victim but they could not grand stand it? Further how many of the thieves in our government likely commit such abuses in their own homes?

Please listen today with an open mind, the entire media message right now is a simple coordinated effort to confuse, anger, divide and place our citizens into a state of fear and capitulation. The worst part is it is likely to work, there is nothing to be done at this point to stop it. So you much see it for what it is, understand it and design your future around it, vs. as part of it.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

  • No, ISIS isn’t coming to get you, here are a ton of reasons why
  • How important is the Ray Rice story, it isn’t, period, I don’t care
  • Why the 2014 elections are of zero importance
  • Why the border is being left open for now, and why it won’t close anytime soon
  • The Ukraine conflict absolutely will not start WWIII
  • The formula for control of a society
    • First make yourself look weak
    • Allow your citizens to feel helpless
    • Find an enemy or three, build them up
    • Look weak in front of this found enemy
    • Hope they attack you, create an attack if they do not
    • Divide your people on all possible issues
    • Call anyone who speaks out against government a terrorist, conspiracy nut, etc.
    • Wait until your people beg for “protection” and demand tyranny
    • Give them what they ask for
    • Repeat as necessary
  • The number one way this is currently accomplished is the news, turn it the hell off!

Today as I get ready to leave for a couple weeks I am running my presentation from John Bush’s D3 Summit a couple weeks ago.  There is a new intro in it to explain why I am doing this and more about the structural changes coming to TSPC when I return later this month.  We will have a new show tomorrow as I already had an interview scheduled for this week.  Then a great line up of rewinds are coming for the next 7 shows.

Keeping Up With Jack on Vacation & The TSPC Vacation Schedule

The Survival Podcast Posted on by  

A Blacktip from a Trip a Few Years Ago.

What is Jack up to on vacation? Well honestly I am busting butt for a few days behind the scenes until the 6th when I actually fly out. I may post a video or two on Odysee/YouTube before I leave. But I you want to see cool fishing pictures, short check in videos, etc. Follow me on MeWe. It will be the only place I post to regularly while away. You will miss the sharks and barracuda if you don’t! https://mewe.com/i/jackspirko

As to our vacation schedule there will be a show every day.  Here is what I have scheduled while I am away.  Today as you noticed we have the Miyagi Morning’s recap for the Monday show. Going forward this is going to be the case and starting when I get back we will start making it have standard TSPC Show numbers.

Tomorrow you get my D3 Summit talk on privacy as a podcast in podcast form.  Wednesday will be a new show with a guest interview. From Thursday the 6th through Friday the 14th you will get a great line up of TSPC Rewind Episodes. I will return to regularly scheduled programming on Monday the 17th.

Tech support for MSB will be done while I am away but may take up to 24 hours to get a response.  I am going to batch emails once a day while I am gone.
