45 • Track changes in tax policies and their implications for you and your business. Be prepared for significant volatility! Prepare a defensive strategy: • Retire debt and maintain a low overhead. • Avoid dependency on government money. • Maintain a core position of precious met- als. • Maintain resources in multiple jurisdic- tions, if possible. • Practice “prepping” – you want to be pre- pared if a natural disaster occurs where you are. • Maintain a cash reserve and liquidity. Best long-term investment opportunity: • Your education, health, and career. • DIY skills. • G-7 and Asian equities. Best short-term investment opportunity: • No way to know – stick to disciplined allocations. Scenario #3: Mind Control https://pension.solari.com/2018/01/02/sce- nario-3-mind-control/ A commitment to command and control governance and transhuman values com- bined with success re-engineering govern- ment resources creates a world of “friendly fascism.” Weighting = 20% • Unipolar World • Positive Return on Investment to Tax- payer Central global control of financial systems is established through invasive digital systems and space weaponry and surveillance supported by drone armies, navies, and air force. Making the atmosphere conductive and creat- ing the “space fence” continues to debase the environment, food supply, and human health. While the backlash against centralized control in the developed nations appeared to shift towards a multipolar world, centralized digital control of cash (the cryptocurrency op is successful) and information systems (working through the sponsorship of multiple countries) facilitates the necessary central control without over-dependence on the United States. The Trump administration is successful at re-engineering the US budget to reduce waste. This improves the performance of the na- tional security state, but it does not convert from a unipolar model or migrate away from the inhumanity inherent in the push towards transhumanism. Automation, new technology, and break- through energy create significant economic val- ue. Global mind control technologies reduce the amount of investment required for world- wide military and weaponry expenditures. Thanks to the rollout of 5G and nanoparticle technology, people are micro-chipped, and their energy, travel, and income can be can- celed by digital means if they fail to “toe the line.” Laws and regulations become increasing- ly burdensome and complicated. Reduction of privacy and individual property rights for the majority of the global population, combined with moving significant population into the urban centers, reduces their individual foot- print and need for natural resources. The middle class in the developed world avoids the long, slow financial squeeze as they are provided with a guaranteed income in urban environments combined with large amounts of entrainment, mind control and drugs. Their numbers steadily shrink as fertility rates drop dramatically and life expectancy continues to decrease. Average life expectancy rates are sta- ble as transhumanism and biotech technologies extend the lifespan of the global elite and pop- ulations are refreshed with young immigrants. Vaccination schedules are heavy and mandat- ed. Autism rates are significant with society Central global control of financial systems is established through inva- sive digital systems.
