Gold is a great way to opt-out of centrally planned currency by the elites, but it doesn’t grow/offer a yield/you can’t use it as money. Monetary Metals offers the ability to grow your total ounces by renting or loaning your gold to gold-using businesses.

Earn 2-5% annually on your gold while supporting businesses in the gold industry, or, if you’re an accredited investor, you could be eligible to earn even higher yields (double digits) in their gold bond offerings.

It’s 100% physical and 100% yours. Your metal, you’re in control. If you don’t like an opportunity, you can opt-out any time.

I know this company and have had Keith Weiner on my show several times. They’re good people and I trust them.

Opt-out of fiat currency and retake control of your money. Get on your own personal gold standard today with Monetary Metals.

How environmentalists are killing the planet, destroying the economy and stealing your children’s future.

In Watermelons, an updated edition of his ground-breaking 2011 book, JD tells the shocking true story of how a handful of political activists, green campaigners, voodoo scientists and psychopathic billionaires teamed up to invent a fake crisis called ‘global warming’.

This updated edition includes two new chapters which, like a geo-engineered flood, pour cold water on some of the original’s sunny optimism and provide new insights into the diabolical nature of the climate alarmists’ sinister master plan.
