Introduction

We live in a dangerous world. What you do not know can hurt you.

The purpose of this report is to help you to better understand and
protect yourself from the many dangers that threaten your economic
survival.

Section 1

The Current Landscape (Battlefield)

"America has degenerated into the most litigious society in the
world history. There are now well over one million attorneys in
our country - that's 70% of the world's attorney population, and
Americans only comprise 5% of the world's people! Our law schools
are presently graduating over 40,000 attorneys a year. For every
20 engineers, Japan only has one attorney. For every 2.5 attorneys,
we have just one engineer. As some of them like to facetiously
say, "So many hosts, so few parasites." Is it any wonder we can't
find justice? In 1993, the American Bar Association estimated
there to be a 37% probability of the average American becoming
involved in some form of legal action in any given year. This,
of course, is very good news to the trial attorney who will
charge you an average of $100/hr and up: and whether he wins or
loses your case, he still gets paid! What would you do if you were
to be sued today? Hire an attorney? In many cases, having an
attorney is worse than not having an attorney at all!

At an American Bar Association dinner in New York in 1978,
U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger, as the guest
speaker, stated:

"Ninety percent of all trial attorneys in this country are
incompetent."

If you believe that an attorney can always better represent you
than you can represent yourself, you have bought the attorney's
lie that, "The man that represents himself has a fool for a
client." Did you believe that an attorney will always represent
your best interests first?

"The Attorney is an Officer of the Court. His first duty is to
the courts and the public, not to his client"
7 Corpus Juris Secundum, §4, pg. 802

The American landscape today is filled with many dangers - any of
which can spell financial disaster for you. Here are just a few
of them:

a. Out of control lawsuits
b. Bloated government with an ever-increasing appetite
c. Advancing Socialism
d. Insane "over-regulation"

Out of Control Lawsuits

As noted in the opening quotation, lawsuits have now become so
prevalent that you can no longer believe that you will not be
affected. It is now a matter of "when" not "if" a lawsuit enters
your life.

Bloated Government

Bloated governments are expanding at an incredible pace and they
never seem to have enough money. Their growing appetite and
inefficiency causes them to need more and more tax revenue.
When they can't tax any more, they begin "licensing" and
"permitting" those things that are supposed to be our "rights"
and they tack on another fee. When they get desperate they
resort to outright confiscation of the people's private property!

Advancing Socialist Philosophy

Another dangerous trend is the Advancing Socialist Philosophy.
This is the philosophy of "government knows best". This Advancing
Socialist Philosophy punishes innovation and industry and rewards
laziness and non-productivity.

"During recent centuries, many aspiring rulers have curried the
common man's favor by promising them other men's property ---
"The redistribution of wealth." They call themselves socialists,
and they seek power through an evolutionary process. There are
others who share their socialist views, but who wish to speed the
process through revolution and terror. These are known as
Communists.

In 1848, Karl Heinrich Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto, which
has since become the most widely read political pamphlet in the
history of the world.

These are Ten Planks of the Manifesto [author's comments in
brackets]:

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents
of land to public purposes. [Property taxes are "rent".]

2. A heavy progressive or graduating income tax. [Internal
Revenue Code]

3. Abolition of all right of inheritance. [Estate and
inheritance taxes]

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
[Ashcroft's Patriot Act: If you are designated a rebel "Enemy
Combatant" you lose all constitutional rights.]

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by
means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive
monopoly. [Federal Reserve]

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport
in the hands of the State. [FCC, TSA, controlled media]

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned
by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the
improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
[Bureau of Land Management]

8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of
industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries;
gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by
a more equable distribution of population over the country.

10. Free education for all children in public schools.

Many people will argue that most of these Planks are already in place!
What do you think?

Insane "Over-Regulation"

Do you believe we live in a "free" country? Try and do something
without a permit, license, or Social Security Number (read: Socialist
Security Number).

"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
Revelation 13:17

The immense explosion of laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations have created one the greatest threats to one's assets and private property.

The following quote from Ayn Rand's novel says it well:

"Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We WANT them broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against - then you'll know that this is not the age of beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one MAKES them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens?
What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

(Page 406 of Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand).

Consider another quote concerning the voluminous 6000 plus pages of the Internal Revenue Code that no one understands:

"Is it possible to ever learn the truth about income taxes, especially in light of all the confusion, if not blatant misinformation? Yes, you can, but not by trusting attorneys and accountants. These, after all, are highly compromised individuals - taxes are their very livelihood! Higher taxation and more tax laws with ever-increasing complexity are to their advantage. Yet, even these tax "professionals" seldom have a clue as to how to properly interpret the tax laws.

The results of a 1989 Money Magazine survey of 50 top "Professional Tax Preparers," unequivocally demonstrates the utter incomprehensibility of the income tax laws:

The fifty preparers were given the assignment of preparing tax returns for a fictitious American family. None of them arrived at even close to the same bottom line figure. In fact, discrepancies ranged anywhere from $12,539 to $35,813! Imagine the absurdity of trying to figure your own taxes correctly, when even the "professionals" are incapable of doing so!" - (source: Economic Solutions, Peter Kershaw, 1997)

In fact a survey in 2003 showed that the IRS "help line" gave wrong answers to taxpayers questions 47% of the time!

Read what Ronald Reagan had to say in 1984:

"The government has the nerve to tell the people of the country, 'You figure out how much you owe us, and we can't help you because our people don't understand it either; and if you make a mistake, we'll make you pay a penalty for making the mistake'."

In summary, we live in a dangerous world and the American landscape is fraught with land mines that are direct threats to your financial well being.

Section 2

Economic Slavery

Americans, living in what is called the richest nation on earth, seem always to be short of money. Wives are working in unprecedented numbers, husbands hope for overtime hours to earn more, or take part-time jobs evenings and weekends, children look for odd jobs for spending money, the family debt climbs higher, and psychologists say one of the biggest causes of family quarrels and breakups is "arguments over money." - (source: Billions for the Bankers,
Debt for the People, Pastor Sheldon Emry)

Have you ever wondered why you never seem to get ahead? One of the biggest lies is that the American Middle Class is "prospering". Do you ever feel like you are on the "Middle Class Treadmill"?

What they don't tell you is that, after inflation, taxes and debt payments most people are worse off than when they started! They are simply taking one step forward and two steps back and they wonder why they never get ahead!

Consider this statistic from a recent government report:

At age 65, ninety-five out of one hundred people will be dependent in some way upon their family, their church, or the government. Four of them will be comfortable and only one will be rich.

Society has been so "anesthetized" by television and recreation that we don't see our money being taken from us from right under our noses. Most people in America can tell you what episode of "Survivor" they saw last night but they can't tell you the last time they read the united states Constitution or the Declaration of Independence! Did you know that the U.S. Founding Fathers revolted over a 5% tax by the King of England? Yet today Americans pay as much as 50% in local, state and federal taxes!

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Thomas Jefferson

Because the Federal Reserve is privately owned by international banking families, and creates money by loaning it to the government, it is mathematically impossible to ever repay the national debt. The U.S. is slowly and methodically progressing towards the day that it goes bankrupt.

When this happens you will see the rapid drop in the value of the dollar. This will shatter the current economic condition and create the "mother of all depressions".

For a sneak peak into the future do an Internet search on Argentina's recent default on their national debt in 2002. When this happened the Argentine Peso lost over 60% of its value in less than six months! Unemployment soared to over 25% percent and the country went from being a thriving economy to a third world country.

"No currency has suffered a smaller loss from inflation since World War II than the German Mark. Yet even so, 71 percent of it's value vanished between January 1, 1949, and the end of June 1995. The world reserve currency during this period, the U.S. Dollar, lost 84 percent of its value. This is a measure of the wealth that governments expropriated by exploiting their territorial monopolies on legal tender." (source: The Sovereign Individual, by James Dale Davidson
and Lord William Rees-Mogg)

The Federal Reserve, by attempting to regulate the economy with the expansion and contraction of credit, has created an economic environment that greatly magnifies our boom and bust cycle. The "boom" times are signified by greatly exaggerated prices like the stock market "bubble" of the nineties and the housing bubble of the years 2003 - 2005.

Noted economist, Harry S. Dent, Jr. (The Great Boom Ahead and The Roaring 2000's) identified the huge impact that Baby Boomers have on the U.S. economy and predicts that, between the years 2006 and 2010, we may see the "greatest depression of all times". His reasoning? Because the retiring 80 million Baby Boomers, who influence the market based upon their spending (or non-spending) patterns, will begin to create a gigantic drag on the economy. This will happen because they will tend to produce less and start pulling their money out of their investments. They will be using this money to live and retire on. When there are 80 million sellers in the stock market it will be a painful time for those who are holding equities.

Combine these two major forces and it doesn't take much to recognize that we are in for some very rough seas over the next 10 to 15 years. The place to be during these tumultuous times will be in precious metals. In times of economic uncertainty people will flock to gold and silver.

Gold and Silver have been real money since biblical times - long before "paper" money was created - and they will be here long after "paper money" returns to its intrinsic value (which is nothing).

Here are some interesting quotes on gold:

"For more than two thousand years gold's natural qualities made it man's universal medium of exchange. In contrast to political money, gold is honest money that survived the ages and will live on long after the political fiats of today have gone the way of all paper."
Hans F. Sennholz

"If you don't trust gold, do you trust the logic of taking a beautiful pine tree, worth about $4,000 - $5,000, cutting it up, turning it into pulp and then paper, putting some ink on it and then calling it one billion dollars?"
Kenneth J. Gerbino

"The way I see it, gold is headed over $1000 an ounce, probably much higher. At anywhere near current prices, it's the lowest risk, highest potential investment I can think of."
Doug Casey

"Nothing beats a little cash in a bear market, of course, and the oldest form of cash is gold."
James Grant

"Gold is not less but more rational than paper money. Money holds value so long as it is in limited supply; gold will always be in limited supply, and would require real resources to produce even from the sea; paper and printing ink are not in limited supply. The gold system is much closer to a modern automatic scientific control system than the crude and relatively unstable system of paper."
William Rees-Mogg

"Were we to be directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread."
Thomas Jefferson

"Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which deludes them with paper money."
Daniel Webster

"Betting against gold is the same as betting on governments. He who bets on governments and government money bets against 6,000 years of recorded human history."
Gary North

"Gold is worshiped in all climates, without a single temple, and by all classes, without a single hypocrite.
Caleb C. Colton

Section 3

Solutions

How do you protect yourself and your assets in these treacherous times?

We believe that there are two critical steps that you must take to
protect your financial future.

The first thing you must do is protect your current assets so they
are insulated from these financial threats. The second thing you
must do is create additional sources of income that will help you
weather the storms that comes your way.

Asset Protection for Current and Future Wealth Asset Protection is
the act of positioning your assets in such a way that they are out
of reach of predators, lawsuits and even government agencies. The
key is to "control" your assets without actually "owning" them.

A good Asset Protection Plan is designed to make your assets difficult
to discover or too expensive to pursue.

A good Asset Protection Plan is put into place before it is needed.
In a sense, it is a type of insurance that will enable you to sleep
well at night knowing that you are protected.

How do you "control" your assets without actually "owning" them?

First, let us define "asset". An asset is anything of value that
you want to preserve or protect against hostile third parties.

To protect your valued assets against these predators you must own
your assets in an entity other than in your own name. There are many types
of entities that you can choose from and here are just a few:

Corporations
Partnerships
Trusts
Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)

When you "control" the company you also control the checkbook.
As the President or Manager of your company you make all the
decisions on behalf of the company and benefit from all the assets
of the company.

Corporations work well but are often difficult to maintain and, If
you do not keep proper records, you can lose your personal liability
protection.

General Partnerships are generally not effective in asset protection although Limited Partnerships offer some liability protection.

Limited Liability Companies are quickly replacing Limited Partnerships as Asset Protection vehicles.

A Trust is an effective Asset Protection vehicle but only if it is an irrevocable trust. Our Irrevocable Trust is an excellent asset protection & privacy tool.

Limited Liability Companies have become the premiere Asset Protection vehicle because of their superior asset protection features, their ease of operation, their low maintenance, and their relatively low cost.

The best state to organize an LLC is in the state of New Mexico.

In 1993 the state of New Mexico adopted some of the most powerful LLC legislation that has made New Mexico a premiere choice for those seeking privacy and asset protection.

An LLC takes the limited liability features of a corporation and combines them with the "pass through" tax benefits of a partnership. It is literally the best of both worlds. LLCs are flexible and simple to form and are much easier to maintain than other entities.

Internationally, the LLC is the most common form of business entity in use. It traces its roots to the German law of 1892, authorizing the Gesellschaft mit beschränker Haftung (GmbH). While LLCs were being discussed in law reviews in the 1950s, it was not until Wyoming adopted its LLC Act in 1977, that the entity found its way to the United States. Soon after, virtually every state adopted their own LLC legislation.

Limited liability companies are now the entity of choice for individuals and businesses seeking the ultimate in privacy and asset protection. Many Asset Protection Consultants promote Nevada Corporations at premium prices and high maintenance fees. What most of these promoters will not tell you is that the New Mexico LLC offers the same benefits at a fraction of the price. You also have a much lower profile. The New Mexico LLC is one of the ultimate asset protection and privacy tools!

In New Mexico, only the following information is required when filing the Articles of Organization:

(1) the name of the company and the address of the principal office.
(2) the name and address of the Registered Agent, and
(3) the duration of the LLC, which can be limited or perpetual.

This state does not require the names of the owners therefore your name does not show up on the public records! The mailing address of the principal office can be anywhere in the world. There are also no annual fees nor reports. This means that changes in ownership are not public record. This is significant when compared to states like California that charge a minimum $800 annual franchise tax! Ownership of a New Mexico LLC can also be structured using "bearer shares".

It is not necessary to live in New Mexico to set up your asset protection plan with a New Mexico Limited Liability Company.

Protecting Real Estate, Rental Property, Business Assets, and Financial Accounts with Multiple LLC's

The basic idea when using LLC's as an Asset Protection Strategy is to separate High Risk Assets (cars, businesses, rentals) from Low Risk Assets (bank accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds).

You can protect the equity in your home, rentals, or business through a strategy called "equity stripping". Simply have your LLC record a "friendly" lien against the property in an amount up to and exceeding the value of the property (see our FAQ section for information on how to do this).

Your anonymous LLC will now hold a "mortgage" on your property thus eliminating the equity that a potential "hostile party" can go after. When you have neither assets nor equity (control without "ownership") you are essentially "judgment proof"! When an attorney or disgruntled party checks the public records and finds you own nothing they will most likely move on to an easier target.

You can buy just about any kind of personal and real property in separate LLCs to maintain maximum privacy and asset protection.

You can also have your business assets, real estate, and equipment owned by a separate LLC (or multiple LLCs) and then lease them back to your business.

Owning a Vehicle With An LLC:

LLCs are a great privacy tool and are great for owning cars, heavy equipment, and recreational vehicles.

Imagine you are in an auto accident and you are sued. When the hostile party discovers that the owner of the vehicle is an LLC (which has no other assets) and that you don't own anything either (your assets are owned by other LLCs) they give up or settle at a greatly reduced amount.

Below is an example of how one might use multiple LLCs to achieve bullet proof asset protection:

A husband and wife who own their own small business, their own home, a rental house, two cars, a boat, and an investment portfolio of stocks and bonds may set up a structure using multiple LLCs like this:

LLC #1: This LLC would own the two cars and boat (high risk assets)

LLC #2: This LLC would own the rental house (another high risk asset)

LLC #3: This LLC would own all the assets of the business and lease them back to the business. It would also record liens up to the full market values (equity stripping) on the personal residence, the rental home, the automobiles and the boat. This LLC would also own the portfolio of stocks and bonds.

LLC #4: This LLC would own the business.

Let us now examine what they have achieved:

First, the assets of their business are protected. If they are sued or go out of business, they still own the equipment through LLC #3 and can start a new business the very next day.

Their home and rental property would be protected because they would be "mortgaged" to the hilt with no equity to go after. In addition, their rental property would be owned by a separate LLC.

Their automobiles and boat are protected but, more importantly, their ownership is separated from the other assets. Prior to putting this asset protection structure in place they owned everything in their personal names and one simple car accident would have put ALL their assets at risk!

And lastly, their business would be set up as its own LLC.

The more assets you have, the more LLC's you may want to set up.

NOTE: Do not order your LLC from an online "incorporation mill". They do not set up your LLC properly and they will not preserve your anonymity. In addition to protecting your anonymity, we provide you with our exclusive "Bullet Proof" Operating Agreements and Our Exclusive "Bearer Certificate Operating Agreement". These proprietary Operating Agreements are written with specific language tailored to the privacy minded individual. Included in these Operating Agreements is specific language that can stop a creditor from attaching your assets even if they know you own the LLC! These Operating Agreements alone are worth their weight in gold. Contact us for more details.

Why a Bank may be the worst place for Your Money:

Did you know that banks may be the worst place to keep your money?
Try this little experiment:

Pick up your Account Holder Agreement (if you don't have one go pick one up from the bank) and read it. Here is what one from Wells Fargo states:

"The Bank may accept and act on any legal process that it believes is valid, whether served in person, by mail or by facsimile transmission, at any Bank location. Legal process includes, without limitation, a levy, garnishment or attachment, tax levy or withhohding order, injunction, restraining order, subpoena, search warrant, government agency request for information or forfeiture relating to your account."

". . .The Bank will not notify you of a grand jury subpoena affecting your account."

". . . The Bank may, in its sole discretion, close your account at any time."

". . .when the Bank suspects that irregular, unauthorized, or unlawful activities may be involved with your account, the Bank may "freeze" (or place on hold) the balance in your account (and other accounts you maintain with the Bank) pending an investigation of such suspected activities."

Does that make you sleep well at night? With the new, so-called
"Patriot Laws" if you "look" suspicious you are at risk!
(What does a suspicious person look like?)

It gets worse. You must first understand the monster called
"fractional reserve banking" (which is the way our banks operate).

Fractional Reserve Banking means what it says. The banks only
keep a fraction of the deposits on hand as reserves to cover any
withdrawals.

Sounds innocent enough but let's examine it further:

Banks only keep about $1 in reserves for every $10 in deposits.
This means that if more than one out of every ten account holders
were to appear at the same time at the bank to make a withdrawal,
THE MONEY WOULDN'T BE THERE!

Sound far fetched? Do a "Google" search (http://www.google.com)
for Argentina's Debt and Banking Crisis and you'll get a
preview of what can happen in the U.S.
Another way of looking at this is the fact that the banks have the
ability to loan out $10 for every $1 they take in!

If you think Enron and WorldCom had crooked books, this makes them
pale in comparison! Banks have the ability to create money out of
thin air. If we tried that we would be thrown in prison for
counterfeiting!

What about the FDIC?

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation only has about 1/2 of 1%
in reserves to cover insurance claims. The FDIC is nothing more
than a "confidence" game.

What's the solution?

One solution is to keep as little money as possible in your bank.
Only use banks to cash your checks. Learn to use Cash and Money
Orders as often as possible. Convert savings, paper investments,
and excess cash into physical gold and silver.

Another solution is to use private currencies 100% backed by gold
or silver. These are private currencies that allow you to
"opt out" of the current banking system and hold your money
in real value.

With private, gold and silver-backed currencies you can conduct
your financial affairs with greater privacy.

Asset Protection Strategy #1

Do Not Keep All Your Eggs In One Basket

The number one asset protection strategy is to not keep "all your
eggs in one basket". What this really means is that you should
spread out the ownership of your assets among several "entities".
Let me explain what this really means by giving you an example of
the typical person:

The typical person owns everything in their own name; their
house, their cars, their savings & checking accounts, their
retirement accounts and even their investment accounts.

Then one day this person gets in a car accident, makes an
off-colored remark at work, becomes the target of a disgruntled
customer or employee and now finds himself in a potentially messy
legal entanglement.

The disgruntled party visits his local attorney and the attorney
wisely orders an asset search of the public records to see if
there are any assets worth going after.

To the his delight the attorney discovers that our friend has plenty of
assets and agrees to take the case on "contingency" with no
"up front" cost to the disgruntled party. The attorney does
this because he knows the odds are good he'll be able to get a
settlement that will be quite profitable.

When our friend is named in the lawsuit every one of his assets
are now at risk and his negotiating position is highly
compromised.

Now let's look what would happen if he owned none of his assets
in his own name:

The disgruntled party's attorney conducts his asset search and
discovers that our friend has no assets to his name. The
attorney advises his client that there is nothing worth going
after although he would be happy to take the case for a
non-refundable retainer of $50,000.00!

The disgruntled party decides that he cannot afford the lawsuit-
especially when he knows his odds of capturing assets is small.

By strategically changing the way he owned his assets, our friend
effectively made himself "judgment proof".

One of the most private and effective ways to own assets is with
a New Mexico Limited Liability Company (LLC). In the next series
of Asset Protection Strategies, I will show you how the
New Mexico LLC can be a powerful tool in helping you keep your
hard-earned assets while maintaining your privacy.

----------

Asset Protection Strategy #2

Isolate "low risk" assets from "high risk" assets

When splitting up the way you own your assets it is important to
make sure that you are not mixing "low risk" assets with "high
risk" assets.

For example, when you set up multiple New Mexico LLC's it
would be a good idea to own your vehicles in an LLC that doesn't
own your investment account.

If you are involved in a car accident, and are at risk for a
lawsuit, the first persons that are going to get named in the
lawsuit are: 1. the driver of the car, and 2. the owner of
the car.

If the owner of record of the car is a New Mexico LLC, and the
car is the ONLY thing the LLC owns, then the plaintiff can only go
after the assets of the LLC itself (which is now a wrecked car!).

When they also discover that you, as the driver, don't own
anything yourself (it's all owned by other LLC's) you become
noncollectable.

If the LLC owned both your car and your home, for example, they
would both be subject to attachment in a lawsuit.

Examples of high risk assets are boats, cars, rental properties,
businesses, etc.

Examples of low risk assets are stocks & bonds, savings accounts,
annuities, etc.

The more you want to protect each individual asset the more LLC's you would use.

The New Mexico LLC is an excellent tool for owning assets.

In our next section we'll discuss the powerful Asset Protection Strategy called "Equity Stripping".

----------

Asset Protection Strategy #3

How to Protect The Equity In Your Home

How would you like to protect the equity in your home without
changing the way you hold title?

Because of possible tax benefits you may want to keep title to your
home in your own name - but you can still protect the equity you've
built up.

Here's how:

Through a little-known technique called "equity stripping" you can
effectively "lock up" the equity you have in your home - or any
other asset for that matter.

Here's how you do it:

Suppose you have $100,000 equity in your home and you want to protect it.
First, you form a New Mexico LLC. Next, your LLC "loans" you $150,000 secured
by a 2ND mortgage or trust deed that is recorded against your property.

Let's see what has happened:

By having your LLC place a 2ND mortgage or trust deed on your
property you have effectively "stripped away" the equity!

Now, in the event you are sued, any judgment creditor will have to
stand in line behind your LLC before they can get paid. Because
there is no equity above the $150,000 (in essence you are over-
mortgaged by $50,000), there is no equity left for a judgment
creditor to go after!

Because you privately own the LLC, you also own and control the
equity in your property! You are free to release this mortgage/
trust deed at any time because you are the "Manager" of the LLC.

You might be asking, "how do I plan for appreciation?". This is a
valid concern because, as the property value increases, so does
the equity. To account for this simply have the 2ND mortgage/trust
deed "accrue" interest at 10% per year with no monthly payments.
Stipulate that "all accrued interest is payable on demand". As
your equity grows so does the outstanding balance on the mortgage!

With a little creativity you can effectively "strip away" the
equity from everything you own. To the public you will look
like an over-mortgaged debtor. Privately, you will control large
amounts of equity.

How To "Privatize" Your Life Using A New Mexico LLC

When you give out your personal address you open yourself up to
all kinds of potential snoopers - like prying government agencies,
nosy individuals, and even stalkers.

One of the golden rules of privacy is to not "advertise" where you
live. A good example of advertising your home address is by
putting it on your checks, drivers license, or by giving out your home
address as your mailing address.

A far better solution would be to rent a private mailbox (like Mail
Boxes, Etc., or better yet, a small, non-franchise service) that you can
receive personal mail and have your checks sent to.

If you are looking for high-level privacy it is recommended that
you take all utilities out of your name and put them in the name
of your New Mexico LLC. In addition, I would have these bills
sent to your private mailbox. A good rule of thumb is to never
receive any mail at your personal residence.

Owning your home in your own name also makes it easy for someone to
find you. All they have to do is go down to their local tax
assessor, punch your name in a computer, and "presto" up comes
your property address! By transferring your title to your New
Mexico LLC you will no longer "own" property and a name search
at the county courthouse will turn up nothing.

The process of privatizing your life can be overwhelming but, if
your situation is not urgent, you can begin to make small changes
in the way you conduct your life. Within a short period of time
you will have everything out of your name and you will become
"invisible" to the public.

How You Can Sell Real Estate In Total Privacy Without Triggering
Any "Transfer" Taxes.

How would you like to transfer real estate ownership privately and
anonymously?

Okay, here's how you do it:

First you simply transfer the title to your real estate to your
New Mexico LLC by using whatever instrument is used in your
county (ie. Warranty Deed, Grant Deed, etc.).

Consult your tax adviser to make sure you don't create a "taxable
event". This shouldn't be a problem provided you designate a
"sales Price" that is not greater than your "adjusted basis".
Or, since you own the LLC, this transaction may be "transparent"
for tax purposes. Again, consult your tax adviser for details.

Now that you've transferred ownership to your New Mexico LLC you
are ready to sell the property. Here's how you do it in total
privacy:

Instead of selling the real estate by a deed instrument you will
instead sell your OWNERSHIP INTEREST in the LLC! Since you own
the LLC, and the property is the only asset owned by the LLC,
you can simply sell the LLC and the property goes with it!

What you have done is converted your "real property" to
"personal property". Your ownership interest in the LLC
(called Membership Interest evidenced by Membership
Certificates/Units) is simply assigned to the individual
that is buying your property!

In essence, the property has never been transferred out of the
LLC. The LLC itself is what has been sold. Since this is a
private transaction involving personal property, there is no
public record!

The tax laws of most countries consider any profit a taxable
gain subject to taxation so make sure and check with your
tax advisor for tax advice.

This same privacy principle can be applied to cars or any other asset.

Asset Protection Strategy #6

How To Bank In Privacy Using The "Corporate Cloak"

As you are already probably aware, there is not
much privacy left in the world. It seems as
though everything you do is tracked in one
database or another somewhere.

Using the New Mexico LLC to do your banking is
an excellent privacy and asset protection strategy.

With this strategy you will open a traditional business
checking account in the name of your LLC. Our Private Banking Report
shows you how to get a Tax ID (TIN) for your LLC.
Use this number when opening your account.

Since the account will be tied to the TIN and not your
Social Security Number, this account will not show up on
any asset search and your funds will be protected.

Since the LLC is a separate legal entity it cannot be held
liable for any personal debts or obligations.

Now you can use this business account to cash checks, write
checks, and pay bills - just like a regular personal checking
account!

Simply endorse the back of each check you receive
and then deposit them into your LLC checking account. To
access your funds simply write yourself a check or set up
a Visa Check Card (debit card) on your account.

"Greetings Steve,
Thanks so much for your advice it gave me the positive energy that
I was lacking.
I couldn’t try Washington Mutual or Wells Fargo because I have
property in South Florida that are in default.
On the advice of a friend I and went to Heritage Bank
Heritage bank has a policy that requires Virginia identification,
so consequently I was turned down.
The bank next-door was Wachovia. The gentleman there was very
accommodating. He asked for my SS# and I gave it to him, and at
the same time I requested that it not be in the bank records. He
apologized and said, yes of course it’s not a sole proprietor and
it is not necessary, all that is required is the EIN number.
The moral of the story is perseverance
Stephen It has nothing to do with the banks. It depends only on
who you talk to. Obviously this man he was a patriot
Anyway
They put a four-day hold on my account since it was a new account.
So I will be back to you soon."

Asset Protection Strategy #7

How To Create Many Layers Of Asset Protection Using
Multiple LLC's

It is important that you think of asset protection as a series
of "firewalls". The more firewalls you have, the more secure
that you are.

If someone has unlimited resources, time, and desire to come
after you - they will eventually find you. Fortunately, most
people don't have these unlimited resources and a well designed
plan will easily frustrate them and force them to give up.

There are two ways to use multiple LLC's to increase your number of firewalls:

The first is to "break up" the ownership of your assets into
various LLC's (horizontal approach).

The second is to have your LLC's owned by other LLC's which are then owned
by even more LLC's (vertical approach).

The most powerful asset protection plan implements both of these
strategies.

Because the New Mexico LLC is so flexible, your possibilities
are limited only by your imagination!

"Loose Lips Sink Ships"

In the last sections we've shared some powerful asset protection techniques
using the New Mexico LLC.

All these are meaningless if you openly advertise what you are
doing. The title of this e-mail strategy could just as easily
have been titled "Three Can Keep A Secret If Two Are Dead" but we
didn't want you to get the wrong idea!

Our point is that, in order to have maximum privacy, you must
disclose all information only on a "need to know" basis.

More often than not the greatest plans can be foiled by a
vindictive ex-spouse or business partner that you've "spilled
the beans to" in a moment of weakness.

How To Set Up Your Own Private Financial Account

The Problem With Traditional Banking

You must first understand the monster called
"fractional reserve banking" (which is the way US banks operate).
Fractional Reserve Banking means what it says. The banks only
keep a fraction of the deposits on hand as reserves to cover any
withdrawals.

Sounds innocent enough but let's examine it further:

Another way of looking at fractional reserve banking is the fact that the
banks have the ability to loan out $10 for every $1 they take in!

If you think Enron and WorldCom had crooked books, this makes
them pale in comparison! Banks have the ability to create money
out of thin air. If we tried that we would be thrown in prison for
counterfeiting!

Sound far fetched? Do a "Google" search (http://www.google.com)

preview of what can happen in the U.S. Here are just a few links:

Asset Protection Strategy #11

Diversify Your Income

An important asset protection strategy that most people overlook is in the area of diversifying their income. They take all the steps to protect what they own but they never give a thought as to how they would handle the loss of their primary income. Ask yourself this question, "What would I do if my primary income stopped?"

The solution is to create multiple streams of income and to always be on the lookout for ways of generating more revenue. Here are some examples of multiple streams of income:

- A Real Estate investor who has several rental properties (preferably owned in separate LLC's). Each one of these properties provides a different stream of income.
- An Entrepreneur who owns several businesses in unrelated industries or regions.
- An Internet Entrepreneur who has several affiliate relationships which generate multiple income streams.
- A Wage Earner who has built up a sizeable Referral Marketing Income that can replace his employment income if he loses his job (click here for information on our profitable Member Referral Program).

Ideally you want to get to the point where all your income streams are passive and require little management. This gives you the free time to enjoy it.

Asset Protection Strategy #12

Private and Secure Communications

Back a few years ago, Echelon was big news. That's the global
surveillance system used to log and eavesdrop on everyday global
communications, using a keyword trigger mechanism. It covers all
sorts of communication mediums, including phone calls. Basically,
if what you're saying includes certain key words (like 'bomb' for
example, or maybe even 'tax avoidance' etc.) then these words
trigger the system to log your communication for future analysis.

If it sounds like something from Orwell's "1984", then you're
right, it is.

What can you do about all this? Well, one thing you can do is
become more privacy-aware. Be aware that some innocent phone call
you are having may be listened in on. Be aware that your everyday
innocuous emails may be getting read.

When it comes to the net, there is one very simple way to thwart
the grand plans of surveillance state - and that is to learn how
to encrypt any sensitive emails, or all your emails if you
choose.

Encryption is the process of turning your email text into "code"
so that no one else can read it. When you encrypt a message you
are "locking" it tight, so it can only be unlocked by the
intended recipient.

The best way to illustrate the importance of this is to realise
that your ordinary email is very much like the old postcard. As
you know, a postcard is something you write on and post - without
any cover. A postcard can be read by your local postal worker,
while he sorts it. It can be read by the postman when he delivers
it. And it can be read by anyone who picks it up in between. In
other words, you would never write anything private or
confidential on a postcard! No, at the very minimum you'd put
your message on paper and seal it in an outer envelope.

Well, it's the same with email. Your everyday email is just like
a postcard - a message without any "cover". Encryption allows you
to communicate in private - to effectively seal your email.

There are many ways you can communicate privately on the net -
using various services and technologies - but the best and safest
is to use PGP - Pretty Good Privacy.

PGP
http://www.pgp.com

Free PGP Alternative
http://www.gnupg.org (free alternative)

This is a dedicated encryption program which you download and
install on your own computer. In most cases this will work
seamlessly with your email software, allowing you to send and
receive PGP-encrypted email with ease.

The process itself is easy to understand. You create two "keys" -
a public and private one. When you create a message, you can
"lock" it with your keys. For someone else to read it, they must
have one of your keys - the public key - AND they must have first
given you their public key.

When you create and send such a message, you send it to a
particular person, someone whose PGP key you have so you can
encrypt it to them. And in order to open it, that person must
also have your key. In this way, you can create a privacy
"channel" between yourself and any other nominated parties.

When PGP was first issued, many people found it a bit difficult
to set up and use. But that has all changed.

The actual process of encrypting a message goes like this: you
write your message as usual, but before hitting the "send" button
you simply click on the encrypt button. When you then press send,
you will be prompted to select the appropriate key (for the
person you are sending it to) - then it's gone.

At the other end, the recipient of your encrypted email would
open it to see the encrypted message, then hit his "decrypt"
button, enter his PGP password, and voila, the message magically
coverts itself back to plain language.

To show you how this all looks, here's an actual example of
encrypted text.

The plain text says simply, "How are you today?". The encrypted
version of those words looks like this:

As you can see, they bear little resemblance to each other!

To decode this message you would first have had to send me your
PGP public key, and I would have had to send you mine - and I
would have sent this message to you using your key to encrypt the
message, while you would use your PGP decryption password to
"unscramble" it.

Contrary to many people's fears, PGP is not intimidating to use
at all. Once you have created your keys, after installing the
software, and distributed your public key to those people you
want to communicate privately with, then the everyday process of
sending and receiving encrypted email is a breeze.

If you don't want to go through the trouble of downloading the
software you can use one of several free web-based encryption
e-mail services. I've listed one below:

www.hushmail.com

You can also use PGP to encrypt files on your hard drive. Another excellent tool for encrypting your data is TrueCrypt (www.truecrypt.org). TrueCrypt is a Free open-source disk
encryption software for Windows XP/2000/2003 and Linux.

Main Features:

* Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a
real disk.

* Encrypts an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as USB
flash drive.

* Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.

* Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an
adversary forces you to reveal the password:

1) Hidden volume

2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified

Anonymous Web Surfing

If privacy is important to you then you must understand that
each time you visit a website your IP address can be logged
and can be traced back to you. Obviousely this is not good
if you wish to keep your web activities private – especially
if you may be viewing politically incorrect sites.

With the increased surveillance state, viewing just about any
web content that doesn't "tow" the proverbial "party line" can
brand you as a "mis-fit" or "enemy combatant".

Fortunately, technology has given us some tools to help make
our web surfing anonymous. These are "anonymizing" services
that work like this:

Instead of your computer transmitting the data directly to the
recipient (Web-, News- or Email-Servers), these are transmitted
to the anonymous server. The anonymous server anonymizes the
transmitted data and continues to transmit these then to the
actual recipient. A possible response (Web-Server) of the
recipient is transmitted over the anonymous server back to you.

Safe Deposit Boxes: Safe or Not?

Many people have the mistaken belief that their valuables are safe in a
Safe Deposit Box. Read the following stories and decide:

Here are a few more risks:

Access to your safe deposit box could be restricted in the event of

- a bank closure or bank declared holiday due to a monetary crisis
- a natural disaster
- a creditor wins a judgement and attempts to enforce collection
- the IRS decides you owe them money

In short, nothing beats having your valuables close by and easily accessible.
It is always better when you do not have to ask someone else for their
permission to access your valuables.

One solution is to keep a safe in your home. There are also many less
obvious places to hide valuables in and around your home. A good
resource is the book "The Big Book of Secret Hiding Places" by Jack Luger.

You can also buy what are known as "decoy safes". These are secret
hiding compartments that are pre-made into common household items
like soda cans, shaving cream containers, rocks, etc. Do a web search
for "decoy safes" and you will find alot of these products.

Asset Protection Strategy #15

Legal Self-Defense

If you set up your Asset Protection & Privacy Strategies carefully you will most likely never have to worry about protecting yourself against a legal attack. But, in the event that you do, you will want to have a strategy for self-defense.

As mentioned in previous e-mails, the best defense is to own no assets in your own name but, if you find your self the victim of a legal attack, in either a civil or criminal matter - you must be prepared.

The number one action that gets most people in trouble is the act of arguing or attempting to "justify" or "prove" their position or case. The secret is to never assume the burden of proof.

When an adversary makes a claim do not jump in and try to justify your position. Instead simply force them to prove theirs.

Do you remember when you were a kid being teased by your brother or sister? Do you remember telling your Mom and Dad about it and your sibling said, "Prove it!"? Can you remember how frustrating it was to try and prove something? That is the key here. The truth is that NO THING can be proven with an absolute certainty. There is always that element of doubt that can be exploited.

Another self-defense tactic is to question the adversary. The one who is asking the questions is the one who is in control.
Always answer a question with another question. When the adversary makes a claim or presentment (which is merely an opinion) insist on the facts behind their opinions and do not settle for another opinion.

For some examples of these strategies I recommend you read the book "Adventures In Legal Land" by Marc Stevens which can be found at:

www.marcstevens.net

Remember, never assume anything and question everything. When you force the adversary to prove, defend, define, and justify their argument (opinions) you have deflected 90% of the attack and their arguments will usually fall of their own weight.
