The old idiom has lost its meaning: “Like money in the bank” used to mean safety and security, something you can count on to be there when you need it. As we’ve been learning since bank failures in March, that’s not always the case. Moreover, the central banks are pushing their digital currencies as hard as governments pushed the COVID jabs for two years.

Through it all, one thing has become obvious: the Biden-Harris regime really doesn’t want Americans buying precious metals.

But a lot of Americans are waking up.

Ownership of precious metals has surged over the past two years thanks in large part to what the regime is doing to the economy. Risks of an upcoming Central Bank Digital Currency, global de-dollarization, and consolidation of the American banking system are just some of the reasons Americans cite for putting precious metals in their safe or backing their retirement accounts.

Ira Bershatsky, managing member of Advisor Metals, has actively and aggressively opposed both CBDCs and COVID “vaccines” since they reared their ugly heads. He believes in America and believes right now it makes sense for Americans to move portions of their wealth and retirement out of the banks, out of the stock markets, and into physical precious metals. Especially by buying bullion in the form of rounds and bars.

“My goal is to help Americans get the most ‘bang for the buck’ with their precious metals purchases,” he said. “That means staying away from numismatics and focusing on getting bars and rounds of various sizes to fit the customer’s needs.”

Bershatsky’s practices have developed over a 43-year career in the financial industry. He launched Advisor Metals as a way to bring value to a customer’s portfolio with bullion.

Briefly, here’s why a lot of conservatives are now working with him:

The rise of BRICS nations attempting to subvert the dollar means money in the bank may not be worth as much tomorrow as it was yesterday. Woke ESG funds are starting to dominate managed investment portfolios because financial advisors have been incentivized by the Biden-Harris regime to direct your money into them. Central Bank Digital Currencies are fast approaching, and it’s suspicious that the central banks themselves have been quietly buying up as much physical gold and silver as they can for the last year. Small banks are in danger of being eaten up by big banks. Big banks are beholden to their globalist puppet masters, not their customers or even their investors. They are leading the charge on advancing the Biden-Harris agenda. If and when the U.S. Dollar drops or even collapses, the “solution” will be more government control, massive regulations over cryptocurrencies, and an eventual push for a one world currency.

Meanwhile, gold and silver have retained value since the dawn of humanity — and many are moving wealth back into precious metals.

This isn’t about preparing to barter in an alternative economy, though having some silver coins as well as fractional gold may make sense for that. This is about protecting wealth in a form that can weather the coming storms. If the financial sludge hits the fan, money in the bank or in the stock market may not be as safe as you think it is. Physical precious metals are often seen as the safe havens for hard times.

Plus, even if things turn around and society turns away from the various destructive courses we find ourselves traveling, gold and silver are still exchangeable. If things get better, having physical gold and silver makes sense. If things get worse, having physical gold and silver makes even more sense.

Advisor Metals helps people whether they want to put $2,500 or $2,500,000 into precious metals. Reach out to him today and set up a phone call to discuss how best to proceed with your gold and silver bullion purchase.

Trump attends court in New York City on completely made up charges by corrupt DA Alvin Bragg.

Guest post by Joe Hoft

The case against President Trump in New York is based on false premises that prove that the prosecutors have no idea how accounting works. 

At one point in my corporate career, I oversaw the financial reporting on multimillion and billion-dollar blocks of business for a US Fortune 500 corporation.  I was able to do this in part because of my education and designations (including an MBA, CPA, etc…) and thanks to my experience in the industry.

When I look over the case against President Trump coming out of New York I am appalled that it ever made it to the courtroom.  

The Bragg case is based on accounting activities that the state of New York says are crimes.  As you will see below, these activities are not crimes and they don’t even make sense.

Corrupt Soros-backed DA in Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, and the Trump-hating gang of former Obama White House and Biden DOJ members, dropped a BS indictment against President Trump in April 2023.

Below is the indictment:

Donald J. Trump Indictment by Jim Hoft

 

1. The indictment is BS for many reasons but one of the major reasons surrounds the timing of the activities claimed to be crimes in the indictment.

The activities for which President Trump is charged all occurred after President Trump handed his multi-billion dollar organization over to the control of his sons.

President Trump Shares Joe Hoft Article on Truth Social – The Timing of Events in Soros-Backed DA Bragg Indictment of President Trump Invalidates the Entire Case

President Trump was not running his companies at the time of these events.  He had handed over control of these operations to his sons.

2. None of these activities are crimes in the first place which is why Bragg never lists any crimes.

What a crock.

The idea that President Trump, the head of a multi-billion dollar entity had anything to do with the accounting entries in his organization is lunacy.  He never did and never will have anything to do with accounting entries in his organization.  That’s what accountants are for.

President Trump is not an accountant and the Soros-backed and Obama/Biden-connected attorneys behind this case are not objective and fair-minded prosecutors and they certainly aren’t accountants either.

The indictment doesn’t even say what the crimes are because there are none.  (Note that Twitter will not allow me to embed this tweet).

3. Even if President Trump was running his companies at the time that these accounting entries were reportedly performed, he almost certainly had nothing to do with them in the first place.

I base this on my own experience overseeing the financial reporting for a billion-dollar block of business.  I never discussed any accounting entries with the company’s CEO.  For that matter, I discussed results but never discussed accounting entries with our corporate CFO either.  As a matter of fact, I never made entries into the ledger myself.  I had hundreds of individuals around the globe who made these entries.

My bet is that President Trump never “made and caused a false entry” into the books of his company because he never made an entry in the books of his company.  He, like me and the CEO of the Fortune 500 company I worked for, never made accounting entries.  You can bet that President Trump never made an accounting entry in his life.

This case is lunacy.

4. The accounting entries were made years ago and the statute of limitations ended years ago.

With Hunter Biden, the DOJ waited until the statute of limitations passed before addressing his tax crimes.  With President Trump, Soros-backed Bragg, ignores the statute of limitations which passed four years ago, and makes up crimes out of thin air.

5. Bragg claims that the 2017 activities somehow impacted the 2016 election. 

Will just let this statement sit until Bragg shows how future events have ever impacted current events.

6.  No auditors would ever identify or make the claims made by Bragg – not on a billion-dollar business – these entries are so small they would likely never be found or addressed by an auditor.

If these were issues then management would make adjustments but these adjustments would not impact taxes or income since they were reported in the wrong bucket and likely didn’t impact the bottom line.  Adjustments happen all the time.  They are not crimes.

7. No auditor in 2022 would go back to 2017 and locate $100,000 in entries in a billion-dollar business. 

Auditors rely on prior years’ work in the current year.  I have never heard of an auditor going back five years when performing an audit.  Never.  There simply is not enough time.  And again, if they did, any issues would be posted as adjusting entries.  There are not crimes.

8. It is likely that no one in history has ever been charged with a felony for receiving an invoice from a vendor.

The “felonies” listed in Bragg’s case are related to 11 payments allegedly made to crooked Michael Cohen – 11 invoices, 12 vouchers, 11 checks or wires.

Invoices are received from vendors – not made by anyone in Trump org – Trump has no control over these.  Charging President Trump with a felony for receiving an invoice is like charging any American a felony for receiving a letter in the mail.

An invoice is sent from a vendor.  The vendor controls when it is sent.  President Trump did not commit a felony when he received these invoices or any invoices from any vendors he does business with.  They are clearly Trumped-up charges.

9. President Trump didn’t commit a felony when one of his many accountants made an entry in his books. 

Entries are made every day in the US by accountants in businesses of various sizes.  These are not crimes.  They can be addressed if they are made in error.  How can Bragg prove that President Trump intended to commit fraud on each one of these events?

10. President Trump has a multibillion-dollar business.  The likelihood of him knowing about these entries and desiring to commit fraud is nil. 

This entire case is BS.

The real criminals are the many individuals working in collusion to destroy this country and President Trump.

These people after President Trump are involved in a conspiracy to overthrow our nation and interfere in the last and the next election.
