"Re: Matt's Response to Simon Black" by Brigantine - 5.13.17

Simon Black is "Sovereign Man." He has an alternative investing blog designed to choose investments not polluted or totally corrupted by cabal manipulation. I've read him for many years. As far as I can tell, he is not a Dinarian or follower of the "GCR." As such, he has probably not been told endlessly by Ya-Yo and others that The banks are safe, now!

Quite frankly, Black's writing is likely closer to the truth than anything Ya-Yo has ever said. At least he understands the investment terrain and finds investments today that help avoid having his money outright stolen from him.


Simon Black may or may not be "awake" to many of the things believed or discussed here. But, he is a very smart guy who writes well and his investment ideas are always interesting.

You said: "Simon Black's posts are not in line with our ideals or philosophy."

Really? Should we ignore him entirely? Should we make him forbidden reading? Burn his books? It is exactly this sort of preemptive censorship I was arguing against yesterday when I posted regarding Critical Thinking Skills. It is a very slippery slope from freedom to totalitarianism. And frankly, Mob rule of this sort is disgusting and in no way spiritual.

Not the least of which reasons for not calling for censorship is that one doesn't know what they don't know. And Simon Black, being the smart guy that he is, may just come up with something you really need to know. Whether it fits your philosophy or not. It might change your life.

Ponder that before you start declaring what fits and what doesn't.
