You know what it means to be an Outsider. That's why you're here.

We don't trust banks, the government, or the fiat system they're hell-bent on keeping in place. We're freethinkers. We're self-reliant.

The "mainstream" anything doesn't like that. And so you'll rarely see evidence that supports our thinking and worldview on major news outlets and in major publications. If you do see them there, they disappear quickly.

There's been more coverage lately about new late-night shows than ongoing revolutions in several industrialized nations.

And while I know you seek out "outsider" information on your own, I occasionally like to share information and happenings I've curated that serve as evidence that what we're doing is, in fact, the right course of action.

• Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura goes "off the grid" — Speaking this month from Mexico, he said, "I view the United States, today, much like East Berlin. And I'm off the grid. I've tried for 20 years to warn the country about the Democrats and Republicans, and nobody's listening."

• Scenes from a Police State — Iowa police raid a home with military-grade equipment and break the homeowner's camera to prevent a recording of the event. No suspects were present.

• "Daily Show" Edits Schiff Out of Context — I've been a fan of "The Daily Show" for over a decade. But over the past year, I've noticed more and more inclination on the show to support The Establishment. This editing of Peter Schiff out of context is my final straw with the show.

• Former Treasury Official Warns of Catastrophic Danger — Dr. Paul Craig Roberts told King World News last month, "The biggest financial danger is the collapse of the dollar as the world's reserve currency.  This would bring about a far greater crisis than the collapse of 3 or 4 big banks.  So that's what the Fed has got to figure out: Can it save the banks without bringing the dollar down?"

• 44% Live Paycheck-to-Paycheck — Time Magazine recently reported that nearly half the country lives hand-to-mouth. In a consumer-driven economy like the U.S., having nearly half the population living hand-to-mouth doesn't bode well for GDP or stock valuations. Yet because of zero interest rate policies and QE, stocks are at all-time highs.

While most still strain to see the world with rose-colored glasses, keep looking at everything with a critical lens.

Speaking of which, I went to my local precious metal dealer the other day, which I often do when silver drifts below $20.00. I wanted to buy 50 ounces of silver to get me over the $1,000 threshold, which allows me to avoid sales tax in my home state of Maryland.

They only had 13 ounces' worth of silver American Eagles. The man behind the counter simply said, "We can't keep them in stock."

You won't find stories like that on CNBC. But that experience is highly indicative of what's happening behind the scenes in the precious metals markets.

Publicly, banks and central banks are pooh-poohing metals. Privately, they're buying. China is buying record amounts. So is India.

Go with your conviction here. My number one recommendation to you in this space is to buy, accumulate, and hold a position in physical precious metals.

The percent of your assets that you hold in metal is up to you, but I recommend between 3% and 11%.

If you are unable to purchase physical metal, a fund backed by physical metal, like the ETFS Physical Silver Shares (NYSE: SIVR), is the next best thing.

After physical metal, the next place you should be is quality junior miners that will be providing the next round of much-needed metal discoveries.

I'm putting together a brand new report on my top junior metals pick as you read this. In the meantime, I've laid out numerous reason why I think silver and gold will soon be headed higher right here.
