Special Report from TheFinancialFreedomFoundation.org(If you find this report interesting, please Forward it to a Friend)TRADITIONAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES - EXPOSED!!The hidden forces sabotaging your investments, and what to do about it.Traditional investment strategies judge their returns relative to the performance of “the market”(the S&P 500). If the market loses 50%, and they only lose you 45%, they actually think theyperformed well! In addition, they do not adjust for inflation, or for the declining value of thedollar. Did you know that since 2001 the US Dollar has lost about 40% of its value? This meansthat dollar for dollar, your dollar based assets have likewise lost 40% of their value, in real terms.That is called wealth destruction, but it is stealth, because most people do not realize what isgoing on.Most investors would just like to make money, regardless of the performance of “the market”and the value of the dollar. They want to learn how to protect themselves against the destructionof the dollar, how to create wealth no matter what happens in the stock market, and how toprosper in times of inflation. At The Financial Freedom Foundation, we will show you how todo just that. At no time have the investment opportunities been greater than today, if you knowhow to make money in this market. The Financial Freedom Foundation shows you how to makemoney in this market.I. THE CAUSE OF THE DECLINE OF THE DOLLARSimilar to how a share of stock is a measure of the value of a company, the value of the USdollar, relative to other currencies, is a measure of the economic strength of the United States andits Government’s ability to repay Federal loans by taxing its citizens. As of 2015, our FederalGovernment uses ALL of the tax revenue just to pay for its mandatory expenses, primarily SocialSecurity, Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment, Federal Pensions, and interest on the FederalDebt. All discretionary expenses, like Military, Education, Environment, and all otherGovernment Employees, are covered using money borrowed from foreign creditors or usingmoney newly created by the Federal Reserve. This is a MAJOR cause for the decline of thedollar. If you consider the average age of the largest segment of the US population, the BabyBoomers, you realize that the Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Federal Pensionexpenses will continue increasing dramatically, no matter what discretionary programs Congresscuts. They could do away with the ENTIRE Federal Government and the US would still be in adeficit!The US economic growth over the past decade has been due primarily to credit expansion, forwhen you pour water into a bucket, all the toy boats float. Credit expansion has the effect offurther weakening (diluting) the domestic currency. Growth through credit expansion is notsustainable. When something is not sustainable, it eventually stops. When credit expansionslows down and real economic growth does not fill in the gap, then the domestic currency beginsto collapse and hyper-inflation sets in.3

Those forward thinkers who acknowledge the writing on the wall are the ones who can structurethemselves to be able to prosper as the structural changes occur. F3 Mastermind Group is aprivate club of such forward thinkers. Join our club and become part of the solution, for the sakeof your family and society around you. Here is some of the writing that is on the wall.Fact: Not one penny of US government debt has been repaid since 1971. It has simply beenrolled over when it comes due (refinanced), and new deficit spending has been borrowed as well.The United States is now running monthly deficits the size of what used to be yearly deficits!Some economists say that deficits don’t matter, but if that were really the case, then there wouldbe no need for taxes.Fact: The 2015 Government’s cumulative debt (US National Debt) is currently over 18.1 TrillionDollars. The average load per taxpayer in the US is now over 154,000 and climbing.(www.usdebtclock.org).Perspective: An 18 Trillion dollar national debt means that, if you’re a tax payer, thegovernment has already spent over 150,000 of your money that it hasn’t even collected fromyou yet!! You, or your children, or your grandchildren will have to repay those loans thegovernment took out in your name. The worst part is that you owe most of that money to foreigncreditors.Perspective: If you earned 10 per second, it would take you 3,169 years to earn 1 Trilliondollars.Perspective: If you were to spend 1 Million dollars, every single day, since the birth of Christ,you still would not have spent 1 Trillion dollars by now.Perspective: The key to economic growth is capital reinvestment into the most productiveresources. However, government is an inefficient allocator of resources. Government habituallyremoves capital from the most productive resources and re-allocates it to unproductive resourcesor to elite capitalists who help the reigning politicians get re-elected.Perspective: The US Government is already borrowing money in order to pay interest on thenational debt. A 3% increase in interest rates would raise the annual interest payments on thisdebt by additional 400 billion per year.(At no time have the investment opportunities been greater than today, if you know how to makemoney in this market. The Financial Freedom Foundation shows you how to make money in thismarket. Go to http://www.FinancialFreedomFoundation.org )Perspective: In 1956, Britain joined France and Israel in seizing the Suez Canal after Egypt'snationalization of the waterway. Because the US owned most of Britain’s national debt,President Eisenhower threatened the Brits that America would ruin the pound sterling if Britaindid not withdraw from the Suez Canal. If that is how your friends can treat you when you owethem money, it is not difficult to imagine that less-friendly states could do the same to you, too.Fact: Foreign creditors, mainly China and Japan, own over 50% of the US debt.Fact: Debt holders can seize assets in event of a default.4

Fact: According to even the most conservative measures, our US National Debt already totalsabout 103% of our gross domestic product (GDP).Fact: The marketable debt of the U.S. government has more than doubled –climbing by 106%–since President Barack Obama has been in office, increasing from 5.7 Trillion at the end ofJanuary 2009 to 11.8 Trillion at the end of January 2014, according to the U.S. Treasury. UnderGeorge W. Bush it increased from 2.9 Trillion to 5.7 Trillion. In other words, under the lasttwo presidents, debt has nearly quadrupled increasing by over 8.8 Trillion. President Obamahas managed to accumulate more additional marketable debt in his first five years in office thanall the presidents who preceded him combined!Perspective: 5.7 Trillion works out to be about 3,123,287,671 dollars per day! Even scarier isthat most of the IOUs created to finance this deficit have short term maturities, meaning that itwill have to be refinanced again in just a couple of years. All of this debt is being loaded ontothe back of US citizens as debt slaves.Fact: On March 9, 2011, the largest bond fund in the world, PIMCO, dumped all of their USTreasury holdings.Fact: The Federal Reserve is now buying 75 % of the newly issued Government debt, becauseno one else is willing to buy it. The Federal Reserve is a private bank that prints money out ofthin air to buy the newly issued Government debt, and then US taxpayers are obligated repay thatloan to the private owners of the Federal Reserve Bank, plus interest.Fact: “Let us control the money of a country, and we care not who makes the laws” -AmschelRothschild, original head of the House of Rothschild.Fact: Government spending creates only an “illusion” of economic growth, but in reality NOWEALTH was actually created, because the government can only give you what it first takesfrom you and from future taxpayers, through taxation and borrowing. Whatever the governmentspends today, it must take from you today or borrow from others, with the promise that yourchildren will repay it tomorrow, plus interest.Fact: Founding Father Thomas Jefferson stated, “I wish it were possible to obtain a singleamendment to our Constitution - taking from the federal government their power of borrowing.”Fact: Since the US Government removed itself from the gold standard in 1971, the value of itspaper money (the dollar) has lost 97.5% of its value when compared to real money (gold). Tosee what this looks like, look at the chart on the next page.5

Fact: On Jan. 5, 2011 Delegate Bob Marshall, of Virginia’s State Legislature, pre-filed HouseJoint Resolution No. 557, which proposes: “Establishing a joint subcommittee to study whetherthe Commonwealth should adopt a currency to serve as an alternative to the currency distributedby the Federal Reserve System in the event of a major breakdown of the Federal ReserveSystem.”Fact: 2009 was the first time that mandatory spending (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid)exceeded total tax receipts by the Federal Government ( 2.1 Trillion), even before anydiscretionary spending was taken into account!!Perspective: This means that even if the Department of Education, Defense, and others were toclose, we would still be running a budget deficit, and the baby boomer are just barely starting toretire!! Already about 10,000 baby boomers are reaching retirement age every day. Cuttingmandatory spending would be political suicide, even for the Tea Party representatives.Perspective: The US Government has been living off so much borrowed money for so long thateventually it won’t even be able to afford the interest payments on those loans!(At no time have the investment opportunities been greater than today, if you know how to makemoney in this market. The Financial Freedom Foundation shows you how to make money in thismarket. Go to ion: As of March 2015, the sum total of all “unfunded government obligations”, thegovernment’s future expenses for entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, isestimated to total 95.5 Trillion dollars, or 811,248 per taxpayer. This is roughly 520% morethan the National Debt.Fact: In 2009, 140 US banks failed, which was the highest number of failures since the Savings& Loan crisis in 1992. The FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund has slipped into the red for the firsttime since 1991. At the end of 2009, the value of the fund was 20.9 Billion in the hole.6

Fact: In 2010, 156 US banks failed, eclipsing the 2009 number.Fact: As of September 2014 there were 329 US banks still on the FDIC “watch list” for havingfailed the grading system.Perspective: In the entire year of 2007, the FDIC and state regulators only closed 3 banks. In2006, there were ZERO bank failures.Perspective: The FDIC already ran out of money once, assessed its members 5.6 billion morein funds, and is currently scrambling for ways to get more money for its insurance fund, so that itcan liquidate more banks.Fact: The IMF has already reduced the weighting of the Special Drawing Rights basket. Chinaand Russia have suggested that these SDRs replace the US Dollar as the world reserve currency.If the Yuan starts trading more freely, it will be included in the SDRs, which would even furtherreduce the weight of the US Dollar.Perspective: Joseph Stiglitz is a Nobel Prize winning economist and Columbia UniversityProfessor. "The dollar's role as a good store of value is questionable and the currency has a highdegree of risk," Stiglitz said, "There is a need for a global reserve system. The currency reservesystem is in the process of fraying. The dollar is not a good store of value." Dollar denominatedassets loose value when the dollar loses value.Conclusion #1: The US Government is living off of borrowed money and the trend isaccelerating. Foreign lenders are buying less of the US Governments debt, so the FederalReserve has to print the money to buy it. State and local governments are facing bankruptcy.Banks are failing at record numbers. Other central banks are quietly selling their USD currencyreserves. For these fundamental economic reasons, the US dollar has dropped in value and willcontinue to drop in the long-term, unless these fundamental causes of dollar weakness reversethemselves. The long-term decline in the value of the US dollar affects your real wealth.However, with the proper actions, this knowledge can be used to create wealth instead ofdestroying it. As d
