Few realize the true importance that the power of focus has in accomplishing our desired goals in Life.

Here’s a statistic that I’ve found useful and foundational:

People who focus on one single task have a probability of a 87% success rate in achieving their single objective while those who include just one other additional task cause their success odds to plummet down to only 14%.

Talk about a cautionary tale about having “too many irons in the fire”, here is the proof.

Statistics aside, doesn’t it feel right too?

I mean, in my own case, I’ve been guilty of having too many objectives at any one time. And, there’s no question, that things didn’t move along as efficiently as I’d hoped.

If you’re eclectic, like me, it’s sometimes difficult not to have many interests going at once.

My solution has been to gather all of the projects under one roof, like, say, “The Shaman’s Tent”, and then handle the whole project as a single one instead of a dozen scattered “to do when I get the time” events.

It’s worked for me. A simple solution that should actually work for all you multi-taskers out there as well.

This multi-tasking lifestyle we’re all encouraged to live these days calls to mind another series of studies I read a while back.

The summary of that study was that we have entirely too many choices and decisions to make on a daily basis.

So many choices slow down our decision process until it can actually stops. We then become almost catatonic; zombies overwhelmed by choices and too confused to make a decision.

Nature never provided 50 breakfast cereal choices for example.

The study went on to say that this is why there’s such a surge in people seeking out simpler lifestyles and Philosophies of Life. They’re simply trying to regain their functionality and a sense of control in their Lives. A side benefit of simplifying life seems to be that a sense of satisfaction returns to Life as a result as well.

I’m convinced from what I’ve experienced that simpler is better for both Mind and Spirit.

So, don’t be overwhelmed by the information on this site. No choices have to be made here.

Relax. Just pick the “fruit” that seems ripe to you today from our links and come back again for another “meal” when you feel ‘hungry’.

There’s no hurry . . . ‘Eat’ all you want. - George

Inflation Is Here:

I’ve given some time since the last post to see how the economics were coming together and, the verdict is in. Inflation is now underway across the board in all the areas that matter to Human Beings:

FOOD, FABRIC and FUEL

In the last post, I saw what I thought could be the beginnings of higher prices.

Time has confirmed this and added still other commodities as well such as CORN, COTTON, WHEAT, OATS, COPPER, COFFEE, SUGAR to the rising price groups.

The CRB Index Chart above shows how inflation is now starting to rise across all the commodities.

This is a pre-planned scenario that is constructed to be the “perfect storm” for the economies of the world.

• Money lending seized up.
• Inflation costing more to drive and deliver goods as well as
• driving the cost of goods to higher levels
• further depleting the monies that the public has
• creating more stress which undermines the immune system
• causing more pandemics and illness globally.
• creating more “need” for tighter surveillance and control of travel and the people in order to better “protect” them from the latest government promoted “fear”.

This scheme is primarily targeted at the industrialized economies in order to further consolidate police state control elements in society under the guise of food and disease emergencies.

Created “terrorism” fears worked, and, so will hunger and disease.

Here’s how it will work:

Higher fuel prices will drive rising commodity prices even higher and threaten food supplies (which are often down to only 3 day’s inventory in most communities).

Presto: Food Fear.

Of course, higher food prices will undermine the vitality of the populace and make them more susceptable to diseases like flu epidemics as they cut back on nutritional food through economic necessity.

Presto: Flu Fear.

“Their” proposed Solutions?

Why, more government control, tracking and support of the masses of course!

For a “price”, though, always for a “price”.

That “price” cannot be money because they have effectively limited or eliminated most money from the economy through unemployment and the structured collapse of everything but the Banks.

So, what form could the “price” be in in order to be of interest to the government and it’s corporate masters?

Mandatory controls, laws, treaties and regulation of the populace that force them to become consumers or producers of specific corporate “products” (such as providing data, GMO seed producers, Big Pharma, Oil, Universities and Banking etc.).

Obviously, the Banks were first in line for their handouts taken from the pockets of taxpayers,

The vaccine-makers are waiting next in line to have mandatory vaccines for the latest fear promoted flu or virus.

It’s worth Billions to them. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a product that people are forced to consume by law and fear? You don’t even have to spend on advertising, fear will promote it for you and government will strong-arm the sales of the product.

This is big money for them all and the close connection now between these corporate elites and government is what Mussolini himself defined as “Fascism”.

Time to wake up friends and step back a little and see that when things come together so nicely for the already wealthy, that it’s too much for co-incidence to be the cause.

That’s not conspiracy. It’s a scientific fact.

When the dice come up sevens on every toss for the same group of industries over and over again, it’s time to change dealers or to  get out of the Game.

You’re In Control and “They” Don’t Want You to Know That Fact.

So, take some of that control back today. Strike a blow for your own freedom by taking away some of the power of these abusers that you have given to them in the past.

Order some heirloom seeds. Plant a small garden. Learn about growing things, homesteading some land that YOU control, build and repair things yourself.

Learn about Herbs and Natural Healing methods. Drugs are a gimmick and all are, by definition, poisonous and toxic. Our Ancestors took care of minor complaints themselves. Learn more about how they did that. Go to the internet and start searching and reading books. The Health Food Store is another good resource to locate literature.

There’s a reason that this information is under attack by the Medical and Drug Industry and it isn’t because they care about you.

It’s because these ancient methods take money out of their Monopoly hands and they fear you’ll find out how effective they are compared to their dismal records.

Stop shopping at giant chain stores.

Shop and support local merchants, farmers and friends.

When “it” hits the fan, it’s the local friends and neighbors who can and will be motivated to save and help you, not fat-cat corporate boards on the other side of the country or the world.

They could care less about you and your family, just the money they can extract from you while keeping you barely alive to make more for them.

The “Plantation” is not dead. There are more “slaves” working on this Plantation than the South ever dreamed of during the civil war era!

And, Northern Industrialists created this National Plantation! Ironic, isn’t it?

Start to get to know your neighbors and find some enlightened people or groups that are waking up to the big picture. If you can’t, then, use the internet to seek them out and make contact.

I promise that for every step you take that makes you more independent, you’ll sleep sounder and feel more secure.

Far better than you’ll feel just standing back and waiting for the next scare headline from the government controlled media!

You can learn something new every day that will re-teach you the lessons of Nature.

These were the every day knowledge of our ancestors and it’s time to make them proud by reclaiming that heritage of independence that they developed by taking care of their own needs.

Reconnect with Nature!

You will feel healthier and happier than you ever dreamed you could.

Without drugs, without tv, without video games, dvds, booze or their side-effects.

And, it will open your eyes further than they’ve ever be opened before. You will learn the Truth and how far we’ve drifted from the Truth, and that WILL set you FREE! - George

Hyper-Inflation Beginnings?:

COPPER PRICES

Let’s start with some basics.

You and I know that the money presses are running red-hot day and night trying to manufacture the money that has already been spent and lost in “the Great Bail-Out Caper”.

They will never, ever be able to print what has been spent, committed and wasted over the last 4 months.

This kind of unprecedented inflation of the money supply will, of course, eventually show itself by ratcheting up prices while deflating the value of the US DOLLAR.

Many suspect that this time we risk Hyper-Inflation, not the ordinary kind. It won’t happen overnight, but, it will give us some early clues.

We may be seeing exactly that with the rising cost of Unleaded Gasoline, Crude Oil and now, the beginnings of a rising price trend in the industrial metal COPPER.

UNLEADED GASOLINE PRICES

Take a look at the COPPER chart at the top of this post.

This is the same kind of breakout above the “Golden Line of Intention”* that we have seen happen in Unleaded Gasoline and Crude Oil.

LIGHT CRUDE OIL PRICES

These are 3 commodities that are foundations of the US and World Economy.

If they go up, everything else will have to follow in time.

Remember back a few months when gasoline or petrol was skyrocketing? The economy started to grind to a halt and that was without all the other bad financial news that’s come around since then.

In addition, as we have noted in earlier posts, GOLD and SILVER are also still in up trends.

These, I think, are further indicators that the value of the US DOLLAR is eroding at the edges of the economy. - George

*”Golden Line of Intention”* - This is the golden line that we  place on our charts to indicate where we believe the big money interests are betting that the Markets will go. When their strategies are met, prices will break through the old line, change their trend and establish a new “Golden Line of Intention”.

The time has now become irresistible to take another look at the holy stock market index, the Dow Jones Industrial Averages (DJIA).

Why irresistible?

Well, the pundits are at it again and all the news services are going ga-ga over the “gains” in the DJIA over the last weeks.

Could they at last be correct?

Has the “Obama phenomena” cured the economic ills of the last two or three decades in only the last two months?

Well, to read or hear the news services, you might think so.

Again, we shall take our own advice and draw back from the present news headlines and emotion and view this stock market index from a safe distance in Time.

Glance at the chart above, take a relaxing breath and dare to speak what you instinctively know:

The Dow is still in decline.

The downward trend is still intact, just like when we last examined it several weeks back.

When the talking heads speak of “gains”, what are they talking about?

Let me qualify what “they” consider to be “gains”: Gaining 1400 points after losing 6,500 points!!

HELLO!!?

Turn off the TV and observe the Golden Line of Intention that we placed on the chart.

That line represents where we believe the major players are betting heavily on where the market will be going long term.

Oh, and “they” would love for you to start “buying” now to drive prices upward so they can go short and make even more money from you - the small investor

It would be foolish indeed to buck a down-trend of this magnitude though.

So, are you going to believe your own eyes and what you see in the long-term chart above or are you going to tune back into CNBC to let them tell you what is “real”?

Your choice, as always, but, now you know the other side of the argument for a change.

We’ll look at what’s hot in the commodity markets next post (possibly tomorrow), just to see what illusions we can uncover in the “smoke and mirrors” trading pits. - George

EURO and the US Dollar Updates:

In these increasingly chaotic markets and times, it’s most important to draw back a little and give ourselves some perspective when looking at the markets.

True Value cannot be hidden over time.

An recent example can be seen in the Euro and US Dollar currencies.

There’s been lots spoken and written in the media about the recent rise in the Euro’s value, but, is that really true?

Let’s practice our own advice here and pull back a little bit from the day-to-day markets and use Time as our filter for trend.

Let’s see what the Euro has been doing over the last 6-months or so:

What do your instincts tell you about the trend? Still downward? Sideways? Our “Golden Line of Intention” (which we use to determine what the big players are thinking) is telling us that the downtrend is still intact. Now, let’s put into practice what we advised at the beginning of this post. Let’s use our longer-term perspective and check out the counter-currency to the Euro; the US Dollar. As the US Dollar moves opposite to the value of the Euro, then, we should expect to see a long-term UPWARD TREND in the US Dollar if our assessment of the Euro continuing to go down is correct. Let’s take a look:

Ah-ha! A good strong UPTREND continues in the US DOLLAR, as we can plainly see when we draw back a little to get some value perspective over time. What’s even more important to us is that this is entirely illogical according to the headlines we’re reading and the economic news floating around right now. When we find markets acting “contrary” to the masses intentions, then, you can be pretty sure we’re being sold a line of BS to mislead us away from where the big money is digging the investment “gold”. Friends, this isn’t “rocket science”, but, then, all the rocket-scientists (in the guise of investment bankers and derivative experts) have been shown to be maniacs and fools (or worse, mega-crooks!). By the way, if you haven’t already seen the Jon Stewart clip where he shows you how CNBC leads tens of thousands of investors astray continuously, you can check it out here:

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart	M - Th 11p / 10c

Daily Show Full Episodes Economic Crisis Political Humor

Conclusion: Money is still flowing into US Dollars and out of Euros. This too will change someday, but, for now, that’s the “perspective” from here.  - George

Silver and Gold Updates:

Gold is still in a climbing price trend as seen using the Golden Line of Intention on the 6-month chart below.

With $75-$100 pull-backs along the way, this market is best entered (in my opinion) when prices are approaching the Golden Line of Intention.

That Line approximates what the really huge money invested in this Market is expecting for TREND and rate of return for themselves.

News articles and hype media are unreliable except as indicators of the completely WRONG places to enter or exit historically.

Wall Street hates Gold as it’s only manipulatible through the futures markets and that’s too thin a market for multi-billionaires to pillage without escaping notice (although Banks have been doing their usual stellar job creating a non-reality based Gold pricing structure through Gold Leasing contracts).

At any rate, the up trend continues for Gold prices and also for Silver (see below).

We’ll take a look at the Euro and some other markets over the next few days to see what is brewing out there in the chaos.

There’s always something afoot as the same Market Players are out there and they can’t stop themselves.

Habits die hard even in economic chaos times.

However, the big players habit patterns are discernible we believe and we might just get the clues we need to “read” the real news of the day using charts instead of slanted headlines and media hype.

Stay tuned in. - George

YES! It’s Real. It’s Working Today!

See How Things Can Be When We Decide To Take Back Our Power.

From: THE SHAMAN’S TENT

When you take the time to watch this video sequence, you’ll learn how interest increases the price of everything by about 45%.

80% of the population never make enough to offset the cost of interest charges.

10% make about as much as they pay in interest charges for everything and . . .

10% literally get all the interest from the other 80%!

Elitism.

This is the cause of economic elitism and it’s built right into the interest-based money and debt system.

This is inequality that will eventually bring about an economic collapse just like what is happening today.

Of course, Islamic Banking has always worked without charging interest, but, now, we have an example of a bank in the Western World waking up to the evils of interest as well.

FINALLY!

Christianity used to espouse this same philosophy, perhaps it will awaken from it’s slumber to do the right thing again and oppose the interest based loan system.

Please take some minutes to watch the video about the JAK BANK in Sweden- a membership bank where no one member controls more than a single share and no interest-based loans are made.

This is the system that can benefit all at the local level for local needs of it’s members.

It’s time for a human-need based system of money and banking. - George

We need to confront the shadows that loom over us these days and see them for what they are:

ILLUSIONS.

Illusions that we’ve been trained to believe as being real.

The root of our troubles today seem to swirl around “money” or what we’ve been led to believe is “money”.

Today’s “money”, indeed the concept we’ve been taught to believe is money, only came into being during the last Depression.

That’s when real money, known as Gold-backed currency or debt-free money was replaced with federal reserve notes that are backed by nothing but debt.

This is the real “Money” we once had:

Many people think that those were days when people’s pockets were heavy with Gold coins, but, I’m speaking about the ultimate backing of the paper money that circulated through the economy.

Take note of that Gold Seal on the front of the above bill.

This is a close-up that shows that the paper was redeemable for GOLD, the actual value behind the paper:

You could bring a 20-Dollar Gold Certificate to any bank and exchange it for a $20 Gold coin.

The value of the paper money was affixed to the Gold and couldn’t be tampered with or inflated by banks as they have since 1934.

How many paper federal reserve notes from your wallet or purse would it take today to buy a $20 Gold coin?

When this article was written it was $940 federal reserve notes (fake “money”) to buy something real (the Gold Coin).

You can directly see how inflated so-called paper “money” has become.

It now takes essentially 50 twenty-dollar federal reserve notes to buy what ONE single twenty-dollar Gold-backed note used to- a single GOLD TWENTY DOLLAR COIN!

Time for action now.

Turn off the TV and instead devote that hour you would have wasted to learning something they didn’t teach you in school.

It’s time to take a few minutes and watch the video below and learn the difference between real Money and “money as debt”.

Let’s learn how things got switched around and upside down with us on the bottom instead of on top where we belong rightfully:

You can watch the other 4 segments to the “Money As Debt: movie by going to www.Youtube.com or here.

It’s time well spent. - George

SILVER PRICE CLUES

Using the Power of The Golden Line of Intention

The Golden Line of Intention sums up the intentions of all the major players in the Silver Market, and can be determined on both intra-day, short-term and long-term charts.

POSTED: 2/28/09

As we say often on this site, reality is not usually as portrayed through our media news sources.

The value of Silver is a good example.

Hardly any comment has been forthcoming about Silver prices in the news. Gold has been the covered item and usually hyped the most during declines or just before them.

I came across this interesting chart a few days ago and wanted to share it with you. It shows where the real investment gains have been made over the last year.

The above year-to-date percentage change graphic can be found at moneyandmarkets.com .

Silver has led the US DOLLAR, GOLD, CRUDE OIL and the Stock Market S&P 500 index when it comes to changes in value over the last year.

This is largely, in my opinion, because, unlike Gold, Silver is affordable and easily available.

For those who are taking precautions for economic survival should “it” all hit the fan, Silver is within reach and recognized as true money through the centuries.

Why?

Its low enough in value to be used for everyday items and purchases and some vendors in the survival field are already willing to exchange silver for goods.

So, a new economy based on precious metals has already started.

The economic change is underway and it will be average consumers who will lead the way.

But, is now  the time to BUY Silver?

A common occurrence in the investment field is to release statistics showing where something has already happened. That doesn’t mean that the timing is right to do the same thing NOW.

What is the Golden Line of Intention telling us about the Silver Market Price now? Let’s take a look at the chart:

The Uptrend is back on for Silver and is going up around 10% per month.

That 10% sounds pretty good in an economy offering almost nothing except danger elsewhere.

So,here’s my program or intention:

• To watch the upward move,
• To give price some up and down leeway
• To stay with the Silver as long as it’s offering a rate of growth of 10% per month like it has since December.
• To get out when that growth rate declines - George ——————————————

THE JAPANESE YEN: THE STRONGMAN WEAKENS

The Yen has been one of the few strongly uptrending value currencies since mid-August.

That prevailing trend has ended or, at the least, shifted gears to neutral instead of overdrive.

The Golden Line of Intention has clearly shifted from Uptrend to Downtrend, upsetting the plans of the “experts” who have flocked into the Yen for safety recently during these turbulent times.

The Intention of the rich and powerful currency holders has changed and their money is acting accordingly.

They are now leaving the Yen behind and selling Yen holdings and moving to something else.

Where, oh where are they putting their money now?

What are their new Intentions for their recent newfound “bailout wealth” and global economic robberies?

Are they investing in England and buying British Pounds?

Clearly NO.

The Golden Line of Intention is strongly indicating a continued Downtrend in the British Pound.

The money’s not flowing to England then.

Well, then, how about Australia?

Again, no.

No one that’s a market mover or shaker is investing big time in Australia at present.

Well, the Euro and Europe are always in the news.

Perhaps that is where we can expect the Economic resurrection to begin?

Let’s see if there is any Golden Line of Intention that points upwards for the European Community.

No, i t seems that Europe is still mired in an economic mess that hasn’t attracted those who control money flow. Not yet at least.

Where do we look then?

Well, the Golden Line of Intention gives a strangely “illogical” answer to that question.

An answer that defies the news headlines and media we are being bombarded with daily.

But, as I’ve stated elsewhere on The Shaman’s Tent website:

Media exists to program our responses to the ADVANTAGE of the ruling elite, not our own.

BEHOLD, where the wealth of the World is flowing at present:

All the other currencies mentioned are being sold relentlessly to purchase US DOLLARS (or things denominated in US DOLLARS) and GOLD (see our report on GOLD here).

It goes against logic as the US is the Source of the present World economic troubles, but . . .

 

As I state constantly in these Hidden Clues blogs:

Work with what you SEE, not with what you HEAR or READ!

 

 

There just aren’t many things rising in value these days but, the US DOLLAR and GOLD are two that are and STRONGLY.

The Golden Lines of Intention tell the tale of where the Gold or Money is flowing.

Believe what you can see AND confirm in context with other similar items like the other currencies we mentioned in this blog. - George
