~~~ John Picciano ~~~

John is the owner of Colonial Resources Inc. and a lifelong personal friend of Michael Trudeau. We asked John to tell us a little about himself for you to get to know him as we have.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Michael Trudeau as far back as I can remember, literately! Michael and I grew up two houses apart from the time Michael was 5 and I was 3 in Minneapolis Minnesota until we became adults.

Over the years not only have we shared the common childhood and life experiences but as we grew up we also started to share the same views in regard to our personal independence (or lack thereof) as promised by the US constitution. Most notably the monetary system, the Federal Reserve and the entire Global Banking System.

I have spent a good portion of my adult life studying monetary policies and global economic conditions and interconnectivity. During the late 1990's I was in the computer training industry and became an officer of a publicly traded company ultimately becoming a business owner in the computer training industry.

In early 2000 as the demand for computer training waned I began looking for other opportunities. I decided to go back to what I loved and that was the study of sound money. For the next several years I traded equities and currencies in my personal accounts and in 2004 Michael and I decided it was time to start a company that would allow us to share our expertise and help educate others on the perils of a fiat money system. Hence the birth of Colonial Resources Inc.

Our philosophies are pretty simple. Keynesian economic principles are flawed in our opinion and in the end the philosophies of Austrian economics will prevail. Sound money. The world is awash in debt as a result of money created out of thin air. It is my opinion the outcome at the end of the debt supercycle will create economic chaos and that precious metals will play a very important role in how we get through it.  ColonialResources.com  Michael Trudeau Please consider becoming a Sponsor or Member - click here

P.S. from your hosts:  John is as trusted a friend to us as is
Michael and we are delighted he agreed to continue bringing
you the fast changing status of what is laughingly called the
'Economy' and helping you prepare! We also look forward
to he and Michael together in the show!

You may have heard John say he has six monitors on his desk in order to keep track of all aspects of the monetary system, metals, markets, and whatever affects it all globally. We asked him for a photo and here it is!

"A House of Cards"

The financial world is based on quarterly reports, this 1st quarter had the strongest performance since 1998! If the stock market is your only indicator then you think everything is ok, but unfortunately that isn't the case and John tells us why. The statistics are very interesting when you look back at the amount of money that has been created. What he does to determine the value of the dollar and the buying power. Gold in 1998 and today. "My fear is that we have this euphoric market place that is not placed in the realities of the economy we live in." Economic data points, indicators in Japan and China, what they really mean as the Gov paints a prettier picture. "We are in my opinion, in the process of creating a bubble in our monetary system that has not been seen since the time of the collapse of the Roman Empire"! Since December the European "Fed Res" have created 1.3 trillion euros, and how many dollars our Fed Res has created since 2009. On housing, mostly only investors can afford to buy, bank lending is hard to get unless you have a stunning credit rating, so we all become renters in a rental economy as opposed to an ownership economy, and how that is affecting the next generation. His thoughts on Cuba, and what Americans don't realize. The global economic system is just a house of cards and John worries that one day a big wind will come through. And lots more, including John's advice on what not to do with the equity in your home, that is if you have any!

"Invisible Hands at Work"

The invisible hands refer to the economy which is "a little scary." A lot going on in the world, especially Europe, Bonds & shadow banking, mortgages & the debt problem, Fed Res & the money creation, and how the house of cards falls down. All major markets lost money in 2011. How countries will affect each other, and what about Greece? As much as 40% of US citizens do not file federal taxes. Colonial Resources is audited every year since they opened, hmmm, why is that? Is 'America, the home of the brave' a myth? What world will our grandchildren have when they are our age? And you won't hear in the media about the Nuclear plant leaking radiation only 40 miles from John's house, and others...perhaps close to you. John knows the media has a puppet master, it's obvious when you have the mainstream networks up on 6 monitors at the same time. "There is no security for Americans." And drastic weather patterns are coming. Gold is the ultimate saviour, more on that and an analogy for when you need cash.

"The Game of the Greatest Fool"

...and how Ponzi schemes work, the example of Madoff's elaborate scheme, and by the way he was the founder of NASDAQ. But MF Global's crises takes the cake, they used their clients funds which seem to be missing. There could be 1000s of people out there, even BTO listeners, who are victims and do not know it yet. It is illegal to use client's money, and so John explains how Colonial Resources works to protect their clients. How the stock market got started, a game that has never been honest. Why the dollar will not remain the world's currency. Things you may not know about Colonial Resources, they will buy back your gold & silver, then fair market pricing and some fundamental things people should understand about the bid and ask price, their spreads which are constant and the premiums which are a function of the markets. A more familiar example may be gasoline and oil prices. So be sure to check with John for current pricing first if you are selling back or buying, and ask him any questions on how the buying and selling works. About testing for counterfeit coins, it's rare but does happen. Troubles in Europe, the central bank, a globally de-leveraging process and what that means. What happened to us in 2008. The Fed Res, Hello! "You can't fix a debt problem with more debt!" And there is much more in this hour. "Tragic events come with no warning, that's why people need to be prepared." People are starving, the American Dream stolen by greedy bankers and the government controlling our lives. "NDAA will take the rest of our freedoms away." And Sheriff Mack is out there protecting counties (their Sheriff's duty), towards protecting states!

"Update on World Shenanigans"

A happy and healthful Thanksgiving for all from John! So much is going on, money issues, Iran, the Super committee trying to determine how best to spend our tax dollars, ahem, and utterly failing, MF Global one of the primary dealers of the Fed Res who misplaced, lost, -stole- private citizens funds --supposed to be protected by the government. Volatility in all markets, all of it held together on one thin thread ... more on the central bankers, E.U. and much more on Bernake who has no fear of printing money. The E.U. will fail in regards of money for all counties, and retirement age probably soon will be 80! Black Friday, will the 'herd' be smaller this year? Over 60% of Greek citizens don't file or pay their taxes because they don't think their government has been a good steward of their money. Canada just issued the first plastic $100 dollar bill (to accommodate tracking?) the ability to transact privately with cash is becoming more redistricted as it is. The very clouded situation with Iran, its nuclear threat, and the U.S. sanctions. Oil and nuclear weapons are a recurring theme and used as an excuse to make war - will the US make a preemptive strike? It's all about serving an agenda for the few at the expense of the many. Have you heard anything on Wikileaks lately, why no news? And the bad image they try to put onto the #Occupy protesters who will be in our history books someday. "Hope is alive but I think we will be challenged in that, put to a test, and I do believe in the end we will prevail." Will Obama be re-elected? The IMF and banking cartels don't trust each other ...similar to drug cartels! How much money is really missing? Flat out theft and absolutely no oversight. Sound markets are illusions, gold is the one thing that doesn't lie, and who is buying up huge amounts of gold? So, by food and store water and get a water filter like a Berky. "We can't forget that there is an entire populace in this world that thinks we should all be dead."

"In a Perfect World..."

We start out with "Occupy Wall Street", and the lame at best, denigrating at worst, reporting. "There is no one leader, yet these people are organized and managing to do what the gov. can't do." John gives his take on the imbalance of wealth, absorbed market and the system that is controlling it, that literally steals your money. When he thinks the crash will come, governments globally are worried about how much gold people have. Next step we control our own commerce. What to do with fiat dollars, stocks, 401k, gold & silver, and the tax concerns. The lowest Dow drop in 4 years, and really looking at how well you didn't do with S&P for the last 10 years, similar to Japan that hasn't grown for 20 years. The difference and path between gold & silver now, true price discovery, and how they are manipulating the price. Central banks globally are loosing confidence in the dollar, and what these banks do is explained. More on the eco collapse, our military, and civil unrest against the gov. How John approaches the questions when people who are flat out scared call him. It all comes down to this stunning comment, "In a perfect world your gold be worth ZERO!" It does make sense.

"The Passion of Learning"

We welcome John to BTO! He and Michael Trudeau have been best friends since childhood, both have a history of accomplishments and a passion for learning. They found that what is going on in the USA is not what our Forefathers had intended. After they took an interest in the metals industry Colonial Resources was born. Having learned so much the question was how can they get people to hear what they have to say? On BTO Michael has had a lot to say until this year when he went "missing" in his move to WA, we do get an update on how he is doing! John is now our spokesperson for Colonial Resources, both men compliment each other in their areas of expertise. We think you will be very impressed with John, he is very tuned into the market with 6 monitors on his desk! In this hour you will learn many things you probably don't know about our money system, how gold & the dollar is being skewed, the European financial crises and they can't print money like we do. The latest Fed Res news, B of A and why Buffett made that $5 billion investment. John's indicators of things behind the scenes are fun puzzles to solve! He determines the best recommendations and explains them so that people know exactly what they are doing. What's happening with gold & silver and china, and what people don't understand about the manipulation of silver. "We made corporations very wealthy at the expense of the people." We learn about how countries finance their debts, the DOW, the bond market, and what goes on with treasuries where people actually loose money but feel safer. John says, "What people don't realize is alarming, old belief systems are still in place but the reality has changed!" And last, an overview on the process of a global reset to a new currency.
