More Than Just Hope – Play To Win!
Guest Post by Dennis Miller at Miller On The Money
Our article, The Impossible Dream outlines how actions of the political class, Federal Reserve and casino-banks are leading our country into extraordinarily difficult times.
Subscriber Mike G. asks a doggone good question:
“When first learning to play chess, I was focused only on protecting my pieces. As my skills progressed it was taking ever longer to defeat me, but I still lost. It wasn’t until I shifted my strategies to “How can I play offense?” that I began to win.
Dennis, how can we go on the offense against the elites – the guys who tell us, “You will own nothing and you will be happy,” while Billy Gates acquires more farmland, moves ever closer to force-feeding us “biologically-engineered” meats?”
Where to start?
Doug Casey quotes former senator Richard Russell, adding a comment of his own:
“‘In a depression, everybody loses. The winner is just the person who loses the least.’
A depression is bad for almost everyone, but especially for the improvident. This is why you have to increase your net wealth before the crisis.”
Doug feels having multiple passports, living in one country, having money in multiple countries is one way of protecting your wealth from overzealous governments. I’m sure the elites have done that.
What about the rest of us? How can the average person, who realizes what’s coming, go on offense and protect their wealth and lifestyle?
Play to win!

We cannot stop what is in motion; like it or not, we’re in the game, and vulnerable. Sports fans understand, if you only play defense, the best you can hope for is a scoreless tie. We must do better.
Let’s begin, what/who is the opponent. Who are the forces working against us, trying to capture our freedom and wealth?
The corrupt Washington establishment, controlled by the elite, banks and special interests no longer look after the common man, they are the enemy!
What should we expect?
Playing to win. I aint even playing your fucking games mate
Only way to win this game is not to play.
Skills will mean more than money.
True.. like it or not you are in the game.. the pitcher pitches and the batters hit even if you lay down in right field.
Tptb are making rules and decisions that will affect you.. unless you are off grid somewhere and provide your own shelter and food.. even then they can ban hunting and fishing and claim your property as government owned.
You can’t play to win until you understand the players.
ZeroHedge reports that a provision in the recently passed spending bill in Congress directs $15 million to electronic livestock tracking, stoking fears that the ever-radical government could weaponize this system to limit beef consumption, long a dream of environmental extremists.
“The left wants to ban cattle, and before you can ban anything, you need a registry, you need to know where it’s at and who owns it, and that’s why they want to tag cattle,” Massie said in a post on X.
“Dennis, how can we go on the offense against the elites “,here is just one of many ideas.
As for chipping critters,hackers(bless those nerdy mutts!)can have a field with that!
Cows/field…..,see what I did there?!

“People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage.”

I always wanted a 1911 like the one Longmire carried. It had some really nice stag horn grips.
Great for looking at , when it matters whip out a glock.
Nah,throwing rocks instead of glock/rocks heavier!
The ever increasing debt is accelerating, until it cannot.
“Every fiscal trend is in the wrong direction. We’re already at $2 trillion deficit, it will soar by trillions when recession hits. And it will keep churning with social security, Medicare, and spending on everything from illegal immigrants to fresh wars. At this point, there is nothing standing between us and fiscal collapse.
The only question is when.”

Clearly he doesn’t play 5d judo-chess
Chess has rules both players follow. This will be different.
“special interests no longer look after the common man, they are the enemy!”
Funniest thing read so far.
“they are the enemy!”
It’s been this way throughout the duration of the country. Some main corollaries are that the churches are and have been part of the government. It should be that the elites are so scared of the churches (their power thereof, such as in economics, education; spiritually, politically and as regards the form of government, judicial, legal systems, and as pertains to being movers and shakers in the arts, and with their own internal economic system of functioning that is separate or capable of being separate when it needs to be, and self sustaining. Instead, the churches gave all this power away and are now in subjugation to these forces of power in the cultural, social, medical, scientific, technological, religious, educational, economic, workplace, homefront to a large extent, with their spiritual disposition being determined for them in large part, and with regards to shaping worldview. If they are the trendsetters, what can be expected in terms of the people shaping their environment? It always struck me as strange for instance, that so many pastors/preachers/ministers/priests, whatever they choose to call themselves, would tout from the pulpits that “the arts are evil”. If the self-professing Christian churches shame their people from entering these fields even if they are gifted in these areas, it’s just asking for cultural encroachment.
Continuing beyond the church and institutions being a cause of the failure of the American people, basic nutrition as well as advanced nutrition, along with pertinent, basic life skill sets are lacking or entirely missing among the populace. Don’t expect people in any sustainable numbers to join the military, when they are weak, lethargic, grossly overweight, and sick due to the chemicals, additives, GMOs, depleted soil and foods of adequate vitamin, mineral and nutrient content (not to mention cells from aborted babies in the food supply. When will this stop?). In fact it only seems reasonable that migrants fill many of these quotas. If they are in better shape physically and have the zeal to do it, then they are fulfilling a role that Americans were unconcerned about amongst their own population. What right do Americans have to a native born military class? Z-La.
