I'm hoping other Freepers can help. Some people I know and love have fallen under the influence of a guy named Phil Godlewski. They believe pretty much everything he says.
They talk a lot about NESARA, GESARA, the fiat dollar, etc. Apparently Phil is advising people to take their money out of the bank and invest it in precious metal IRAs. He hawks some of these IRAs himself, so he has a financial self interest in telling people to do so.
There are lots of people listening to him and falling under his sway. Something doesn't sit right with me about him. I'm concerned that good people are being duped and don't realize it. Appreciate any insights you might be able to share!
Seems like a lot of guys have been pitching the same thing for many decades. Conservatives and patriot mouth pieces in radio in particular always seem to get sponsors who are selling gold and precious metals, and it’s a little hard not to get numb to the message after a while, but I’m not personally familiar with it, and I’ve always been skeptical, particularly when you are buying gold that you are not physically taking possession of. I mean, how does that help you when TSHTF. Are you going to travel halfway across the country or the world and walk up to an vault and just collect your gold? Why in the world would you ever expect to be able to find or contact these people when all the banks have gone bankrupt a many businesses got shuttered and the government starts freezing assets and accounts?
I just don’t know how all this stuff work and I’m curious. Is birch gold group too big to fail? Is Ron Paul going to bring you your gold personally when they file for bankruptcy or run off to Switzerland with your investments?
Precious metals, etc.: if you don’t have it in your physical possession, you don’t own it. Instead, you’re trusting someone else.
Thanks for playing. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Mr. Murphy comes along and proves himself right, once again.
I’ve been considering some gold. I bought a couple silver bars for Christmas presents for by brothers from a local place called The Blue Vault. They also offer storage.
if you are investing in anything than the actual precious metals, like gold coins or bars... it is worse than the fiat currency.
like bit coin
My comment exactly. Unless you have physical cutody of the gold, you are no better of than having “money in the bank.”

all of those pitch men are claiming that we need to buy now because gold is going to explode in value. If they truly believe that, then why do they want to sell something that’s going to exponentially increase in value? Shouldn’t they be holding on to it to sell after the increase?
“If they truly believe that, then why do they want to sell something that’s going to exponentially increase in value?”
Asking a question like that confounds gold bugs.
Phil Godlewski sells over priced silver through philsilver.com just like every other PM dealer including Kitco. Its not against the law. He practices what he preaches as all his assets are tied up in silver and real estate. He is preparing to take the utmost advantage of the coming new monetary system.
Mr. GG2 and I have all of our assets in real estate and PM because we are positioning ourselves for the coming gold backed currency Trump has been announcing. Nesara/Gesara or whatever you want to call it is on the horizon. We got out of the stock market 2 years ago.
I would be more worried about people who have all their assets tied up in the stock market not silver, gold or real estate.
Phil Godlewski is a truther. He is an anon and a die hard MAGA Trump supporter. He’s incredibly open about it so I don’t think he’s fooling anybody. You’re either on board with it or you’re still hypnotized by Fox Snooze. Which is worse?
Well, I can say with certainty that I ain't one of them since I've never heard of him.
Does he drive a Good Humor Ice cream truck? If so, then I can understand why someone would become addicted to ice cream and the vendor.
National Economic Security and Recovery Act (NESARA), a set of U.S. economic reforms proposed in the 1990s, which included abolishing compound interest on loans, replacing income tax with a national sales tax and returning U.S. currency to the gold standard. The proposals were never actually introduced before Congress.
I think Gesara might be this...
S.2826 - Global Economic Security Strategy of 2019
It’s stuck in committee or maybe dead.
Gold is currently 15-20̀ up from a year ago.
Buy US Gold Eagles or Canadian Maple Leafs. Each is one ounce of pure gold, easily recognizable, easily converted into cash or cattle.
Never heard of him, but I have a self-directed precious metal IRA.
Had it now for 7 years.
I buy my son silver bars for Christmas and his birthday.
GG2, we did the same as you. Cashed out stocks, reduced bank accounts to bare minimum, kept some cash on hand and traded the rest of our money for physical precious metals. Our precious metals value has grown about $100,000 since buying cheap during the covid lockdown.
I appreciate Phil very much.
There are a couple reputable silver dealers on EBAY.
I bought 20 US silver dollars a few weeks ago for $590.
That includes free delivery to my house.
They are currently $676
Pinehurst Coin Exchange
The are a big legitimate company that I have bought from many times.
FYI, I have bought tubes of 20 several times when it has dipped under $600 over the last few years.
