IcerocketOk, so I followed this link while reading up on real estate trends.
SO BIG DISCLAIMER - this link is a commercial! I am not recommending it, standing by it, or in any way affiliated with it. In the end the Stansberry Firm want's to sell you a subscription to it's news letter. I have no idea if they are on the level or what.
However, the "film" touches on all of the things we discuss here: economic collapse, alternative currency, the end of US world domination, post industrial life, oil economy collapse. It's the audience it is made for - wealthy people looking to invest. These are not people normally open to the idea that our consumer way of life is going to abruptly end soon.
The film maker makes some very good arguments for our economic collapse caused by the world choosing a different reserve currency. IE the world trades in Oil-Dollars, therefore our oil is cheaper because we don't go through a middle man to buy oil. The rest of the world has to exchange their money to dollars to buy oil. Hence they pay more because of the exchange process. Additionally we print money out of our debt problems and all of the other major nations in the world would rather not be handed devalued dollars for their troubles.
My criticisms are that it does use a bit of fear mongering, the film is right of center in it's opinions about Obama, social programs, homeless people, and so on, but consider the intended audience. And it is long - very long. It seems to have been written in January of 2011 so it does not have any information pertaining to the uprisings in the Middle East and Africa.
I hope that is enough disclaimers. Here ya go:

Well the world is changing.

Well the world is changing. We're all going to have to learn to do things different if we expect to keep up. I think things like this are good for improving or learning economic determination and resource gathering. This is what is known to myself and others as the second key to freedom.
This is at least useful information, much more so than boots and handbags; and as time goes on and things get worse, information services and technology is going to become more sought after products. Stansberry itself though I think would really benefit with an affiliate program.
The only other thing I heard that sounded eh..., was their position on gold and silver. I mean it's okay, but I wouldn't put it past the government to confiscate the gold again.
They also claim to be on the cutting edge of asset protection... Okay so what about the citizenship issue? The very thing which makes you liable and obligated to pay the debt in the first place. If you're seriously looking to protect your assets, from this government, why maintain this allegiance? Why maintain this status when threw this very mechanism the State can take everything away from you? So the completeness of their asset protection program languishes on the surface a little just on this issue alone.
Their other technologies might be good, and he did seem sharp on most everything else he was talking about but one would have to get in there and test it out for a few months to see if it works.

Well it tracks that right-of-center meme of any money I made is mine forever and I owe no one anything even though I benefit from from group security mentality. But on the other hand he draws on the example of Yugoslavia that basically stole people's money out of their bank accounts to drive home his point that the rules today may be stepped on tomorrow in the face of a financial crisis.
It is an interesting perspective, and one I hadn't considered as a factor. Bears more investigation.

Render unto Caesar what is Caesars...
Most people never ask this question at all, What is Caesars?
Where is the proof that this paper substance is mine? Look at any Federal Reserve Note, no where upon it do I see my name or picture. It's a signed document, but not by me. But it does say E Pluribus Unum on it meaning; from many -one.
What is the act of holding Federal Reserve Notes? It's banking. In other words if you hold FRNs, then you're performing the functions of a public trust; dealing in public "money". It's their money not yours.

So you 'depose' yourself and when you open a bank account you agree to the terms part of which is to indemnify them for whatever damages they may do to you and depending on "suspicious activity" can seize everything you got.
