Productive people everywhere understand that their lives are being wrung of every drop of value, but it is hard to put your finger on why and how. Or more importantly, what to do about it. Yet, even though there are so few of us, we still hold all the cards. You just have to know how to play them.

We've seen elections come and go, and yet things seem to always get worse and worse no matter who gets elected. And no matter how much you talk yourself blue in the face, or wear your fingers to the bone online, too few people seem to "get it". A lot of what you hear in the media, even from your favorite pundits, still seems to miss the mark somehow.

How can this be? You may be one of the unlucky ones who have had everything you've ever work for destroyed. And yet there are many people around you who don't seem to notice anything is wrong at all. We keep hoping those people will eventually wake up, but they never do. Not even the intrusive policies of the TSA seem to make much of an impact on most people. As horrifying and unpleasant as this may be to you, most people seem to just simply accept the accelerating encroachment of their liberties. While you get madder and madder, and more and more exhausted.

There is a simple reason why so few people seem to care, and yet this simple reason eludes people like us, who thrive on creating value in the world. We're so busy working to improve things, we just can't see the world through their eyes.

The reason is that to all those people, you are the enemy. It doesn't matter whether you've ever threatened anyone, the simple fact that you think for yourself, and are bold enough to believe that you have rights and value as an individual, is downright terrifying to most people. And those people will take any amount of government abuse necessary, as long as bad people like you are rounded up in the process.

This is why your children are indoctrinated against your values in school, to breed more numbed populace who see you as the enemy. This is why working hard and playing by the rules brought us to the brink of ruin, because, as we are only now becoming aware, the game was rigged all along. This is why you have to swallow every bit of your inner self at work. Or, if you own and run your own business, this is why it gets harder and harder each year to stay afloat. This is why no one but you and your close circle seems to really be bothered about any of this insanity in any meaningful way. This is why not even those pundits and politicians "on our side" ever really seem willing to "go there". They only dribble out enough pap to keep us tuning in, or voting for them.

We would like to think that people are waking up. Some are, no doubt. But most people don't want to wake up, because the dream is nicer. And their turning to government to take what they need from you is a lot easier, isn't it? If you are really honest with yourself, and evaluate those around you, you will probably find, unless you are extraordinarily fortunate, that there are just too few of us left.

We're facing a war on two fronts. On the one hand, we're faced with an enormous and growing entitlement population drawn from all walks of life, including those who adminster and protect that entitlement class, which is another whole entitlement class of its own. On the other hand, we're faced with the powerful elites who control the media, banking and government. Ultimately, elections don't matter because there are just too many of the one, and the other are too powerful. The suit monkeys on Wall Street, and their international banking partners, are able to whip up the masses into any frenzy they wish at the snap of their fingers. And to prevent us from making any measurable impact at all.

The necessary end result? A total economic collapse, of course. But you already knew that.

Take heart, though, because that collapse will finally break our enemy's hold on us. Read this book and find out how to win the war on the other side of the collapse (hint: it is all about what you can build, not what you destroy). And what to do to improve your life, in meaningful ways, until that day arrives.

More practical and modern than Atlas Shrugged, this book fills in the gaps that popular political pundits won't touch.

Buy it now or look inside. Or download and read the entire "Chapter 2, Who Should Read This Book", along with the errata notes for that chapter.

As you can see, this book is about a different kind of survival skill, one that works today as well as being essential to pulling us out of a collapse later. But you've got to learn to hide among the monkeys, the right way, and protect yourself from them, until we get there. Or else the monkeys will single-out and destroy you now, before you ever get a chance to overcome them later.
