Getting off the Grid

QUESTION: Dear Marty, You mention getting off the grid – but with technology –  today – how is ownership of anything ‘getting off the grid’? If governments truly want to hunt down global wealth and tax it – how is owning a house in London or a farm in NZ going to help anyone – […]

Thatcher & the Euro

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; You were a key player in Britain and the euro. That is well-known in private circles here in the UK.

2013 August 7th What Was it? Nothing or a Watershed Shift?
