How did you wake up?

[Arcturus87]

I was like most brainwashed Americans and didn't know much about money or economics. Following the 2008 elections and the Wall Street meltdown, I really started to teach myself economics. I was very disappointed at the "two" candidates there were to choose from. I began reading about third parties and came across how the Libertarian Party was opposed to the Federal Reserve. That was where I found Ron Paul. I have spent the last few years researching everything there is to know about money and economics. I started purchasing lots of gold in early to mid 2009, I almost think I may have purchased too much gold relative to silver, which is something I've recently realized within the last year how undervalued it is. I just spent 6 years in the Navy and routinely told those around me how you need to own gold. I even kept several thousand dollars in my bunk just in case the dollar collapsed while I was overseas. Despite the fact that I used to work for the government and thought I was defending freedom, I will attempt to oppose the Federal Government's desire to nationalize me. I have now found liberty, individualism and "free" money.
