Guest Post by Jeff Thomas
For centuries, East Indians have regarded gold as the primary source of wealth. All Indians own gold if they can afford to. They keep it as close as possible, sometimes in coin form, but often as jewellery, since “wearing wealth” means that it can be kept very close. They’re often especially reluctant to trust banks to hold their gold.
Hindus make up 80% of India’s population and, to Hindus, gold is sacred. Lakshmi (pictured above) is the Hindu goddess of purity, prosperity and good fortune. Her symbol is gold, so gold plays an important part in Hindu ceremonial occasions and Hindus donate large amounts of gold to the temples in Lakshmi’s name.
In recent years, the Indian government has tried one ploy after another to gain control of the temples’ gold. The most recent ploy was a programme whereby the temples could deposit the parishioners’ gifts to Lakshmi in banks. The gold would then be melted down and the temples would be given cash in an amount that would exceed the value of the gold.
Sounds pretty good. In many countries, the average individual would be shortsighted enough to go for it, thinking that he would have a few extra rupees. Internationally, even some Prime Ministers have thought it a good idea. UK PM Gordon Brown sold England’s gold at the bottom of the market between 1999 and 2002. More recently, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau sold off all of Canada’s gold during a major downward correction as soon as he took office. (Two excellent examples of proof that it’s possible to be elected the leader of a major country and still be an imbecile.)
But, returning to India, those running the temples tend to be distrustful of governments. Most are also distrustful of bank storage, although some do store gold in banks. The majority of the gold that they hold, however, remains in the temples.
The Indian government has also attempted to tax the gold in the temples, but the temples, quite rightly, have stated that they don’t actually own the gold. They hold it in trust for Lakshmi. (Good luck trying to tax Lakshmi.)
Governments have no problem telling people what to believe, except when it has to do with religious belief. Then they get quite skittish. So, to date, the Hindu religion has been a major deterrent to governmental success in getting Indians to part with their gold. And will continue to be. (I don’t think that, in my lifetime, they’ll have significant success. If God says wealth and prosperity are to be respected, it’s hard for the government and media to counter that belief. And Lakshmi continues to be rather firm as to God’s take on the subject.)
Elsewhere in the world, governments of most western countries have succeeded in convincing roughly half of their populations that wealth is evil and shameful. It’s okay for a rapper to wear several pounds of gold jewellery, but it’s immoral for the average person to have a few eagles or maple leafs stored for a rainy day.
That means that the average man’s wealth is at greater risk. Governments tend to be parasitic creatures with no moral compass whatever. They’ll do whatever they can to diminish the power of the individual and to separate him from his wealth. The system of taxation is essentially a shakedown operation.
The only limiting factor in any government taking everything you have is that political leaders do worry about their image. They want to appear to serve the electorate so that they can be re-elected. So, they have to tread lightly. They can even force their citizens to pay tax on income derived from another country by implying that if tax is not paid, the income must have been gained through money-laundering.
They can take your possessions through civil asset forfeiture if they can imply that you are suspected of having committed a crime. And they can take away your “inalienable” rights if they can suggest that you might be suspected of terrorism connections.
Likewise, they can take away your gold. All they need do is convince the majority of people in your country that your ownership of it is somehow evil. To date, no country has fully succeeded in doing this.
But, recently in the West, this idea has been growing some legs. The socialist ideal has been blossoming in the EU, US, Canada and elsewhere in the former Free World and, along with it, the irrational concept that “earned wealth is evil” has been taking root.
Pop stars and sports figures can have monetary reward heaped upon them without being in any danger of social persecution. And politicians can have expenses that run into the millions annually, plus a host of benefits that are unknown in the private sector.
Yet, the owner of a business, however small, is looked upon as someone who has somehow looted the populace if he sells a good or service for the purpose of profit.
This is, of course, an astonishingly irrational position for anyone to take. As Thomas Sowell has observed,
“I have never understood why it is greed to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.”
And that astute observation is from an academic (not a businessman) who grew up in Harlem.
What this means is that, for each of the jurisdictions above, those who have lived responsibly – those who produce more than they consume and save the difference – are in for a rude awakening.
In order for their governments to pay for the new socialism that’s on the way, they’re going to have to balance the equation by taking from someone and that someone will be the guy who has retained wealth (however great or small.)
His wealth will be taken from him for “the greater good.”
As every Indian – even those of limited means – understands, the greatest protection from such looting by governments is to liquidate assets and convert the proceeds into precious metals.
It’s unlikely that the average westerner will become a Hindu, but, if he’s wise, he’ll acquire his own personal Lakshmi in the form of precious metals storage and he’ll do so outside of his home jurisdiction, in order to have even greater insurance against confiscation.

Matthew 6:24
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
Can’t serve the God of Abraham and not serve Communism too. Because the same people behind central banking created both.
Here’s Colorado’s chance to use that ammo. lol
Where does your treasure lie?
That’s “relative humidity” to the southern bois.
It’s easy to hoard gold when half your population are virtual slaves.
The amount of ignorance in one sentence is astounding. Saving gold has proven to be a wise plan for millennia.
Fuck you
Whoa…must be Jill’s menopause act out…but that couldn’t be, Hunter said that pussy’s dust.
Profanity is the tool of the fool that can’t support his position.
Agreed. I own 47 ounces of gold. Well,i would own about that amount if my divorced 42 year old divorced daughter didn’t have a life crisis about 3-4 times a year. Quote, ” I am a single mother doing the best i can.”
Mudshark? Half-nigger spawn?
Them: ‘Where is your gold? We’re here to take it from you.”
Me: “You can’t have it and you’ll never find it. But by all means KISS MY ASS!”
Them: We’re going to torture you and your family until we get your gold.
You: ??!!!??
Remind them electricity doesn’t make it work.
” I don’t have much gold, but I have an enourmous amount of lead,
Let me give it to you in great abundance now………..”
Not happening I like beef burger, beef steak, beef roasts, and beef ribs way to much. More than gold.
Q: “How do you secretly butcher a cow in india?”
A: “Brahman around the back of the house”
How do you secretly butcher a healthy looking steer that roams the land in the USA. Can a person go to jail for shooting a roaming cow? A young steer I know of has got to be some primo grass fed beef and since it feasts on everyone’s grass like deer it seems it would be “free game” at this point after a couple of years. They shoot wild pigs, don’t they.
Butcher a steer? The average American couldn’t field dress a squirrel.
From the article:

Thinkin’ it was ‘Accidental/Poor Timing’?
There are times when brass and lead are of greater value than gold.
QUIT playing along with PARASITES !
Hide your assets or the fuckers will steal all you got !
Store up your treasures [ability to do things] in heaven, [your collection of life experience]
where moth can not eat nor robber can not steal.
Also don’t leave your tools out in the rain,and clean your guns. I keep a small tool box of shitty Walmart tools for my wife and neighbors. I have a bicycle chain on my step ladder. I have lost more tools to my wife and neighbors than i have to robbers. P.S. I have a tool check list for my neighbor to sign,with a promised tool return date. It annoys them. It did more than annoy my wife.
Vedic Physics
Agastya Samhita written around 4000 BC by sage Agatsya, describes method to make dry electric cell with 1.138 volts and 23 mA and electroplating process, hydrogen balloons.
The ancient text of Agastya Samhita describes the method of making electric battery, and that water can be split into oxygen and hydrogen. Modern battery cell resembles Agastya’s method of generating electricity.
For generating electricity, Sage Agastya had used the following material:
1.One earthen pot
2.Copper plate
3.Copper sulphate
4.Wet saw dust
5.Zinc amalgam
“Place a well-cleaned copper plate in an earthenware vessel. Cover it first by copper sulfate and then by moist sawdust. After that, put a mercury-amalgamated zinc sheet on top of the sawdust to avoid polarization. The contact will produce an energy known by the twin name of Mitra-Varuna. Water will be split by this current into Pranavayu and Udanavayu. A chain of one hundred jars is said to give a very effective force. (p. 422)”
yay.
We have moved on.
And then they discovered street shitting, and it was all down hill from that point.
That came when the original culture founding Aryans of India miscegenated.
Look at it this way, depending on where in India, Hindus basically burn Christians at the stake. Fuck Hindu.
Maybe you should be happy being the worlds largest religion and not needing every little nigger soul.
They also burn each other, so there is no reason to play the martyr.
Hindu coming to America. Don’t know the numbers currently occupying. Yep, so called Christians burned that witch in Salem. And check this out, look up Leesburg , Texas. Shit, knowing how people of past in that part of the world hate niggers, I was none the less “surprised” that as late as 1922 or 23 a black man WAS burned at the stake in Leesburg for supposedly making advances toward a white woman, wanting some pussy I guess. So the Christians literally burned the black at the stake. Verifiable searching Al Gore’s Internet. When I travel a bit I’m always interested in local history. Burned that fellow up.
“Wylie McNeely, 19 years old, negro, charged with assault upon an 8 year old girl near here a few days ago. was burned at the stake here last midnight. He was seized by a mob at Mount Pleasant, where he had been taken for safe keeping, and brought here and burned In the presence of several hundred persons from Camp, Titus and other counties.”
We don’t know how St. Mathew the Apostle of Jesus Christ died, but he was most likely martyred by those pagans in India.
Christians killed and tortured others for practicing their own perspective, indigenous religions too. From Constantine then on. Northern Heathens would execute homos. Sadly they did not sufficiently deal with crypto Jews preaching their new death cult. So we had people like “Saint” Olaf, and a systematic elimination of Eurocentric culture and identity. We can see today allowing Jews to write our script has led right to Communism. The anti-White agenda started long before they came up with that silly Khazar narrative that keeps even Conservatives still following and serving a hostile foreign script to the Abrahamic prescribed, end times.
Constantine……He was the beginning of the Catholic Church. Evil outfit and definitely not Christian by any measure. It is the devil’s counterfeit of the Christian life.
Constantine was the Greek Orthodox Church, not the evil Roman catholic church that stole the Greek Orthodox Church’s lands and money and left Constaninople to the Muslims. Never. Confuse the two.
Some of us want to go back in time to warn Hitler, others want to go back and teach our ancestors about the jew.
Best plan?
Join the team overthrowing the methods they use to enslave your mind.
Dump these texts:
The Pentatuech.
The Bible.
The Koran.
The Talmud.
Tards might follow the rest, but only the enemy follows the talmud
Stucky, are you up to converting to Dotheadism?
You can worship pagan gods, but you will go to hell for all of eternity. There is only one way to God the Father and it is through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Alhamdulillah!
Follow these 3 simple tricks to avoid Eternal Torment!
I hate to be too much of a dick since you said you got knocked on the head, but if your God follows a strict formula set out like trouble-shooting guide in a really bizarre legalistic manual, don’t be surprised when people call the whole thing a jewish scam.
It’s like something from an NPC in a game. If : then
You betray your enormous faith in something inherently unknowable.
I don’t have NEAR enough faith to be an atheist. It takes the biggest leap of faith in all humanity to believe all this is an accident of chemistry. Bless you!
Why can’t you take the leap when you certainly can jump to conclusions. If you really think the only options are yhwh or atheism then you’re only helping my NPC comparison.
Gesundheit!
He has other issues.
Do they all have issues?
The opposite of a bible narrative believer is not always atheism.
I do not accept the bible text as literal.
It is far more logical as allegory explaining the true nature of life.
There are three ways to view the bible:.
1. The literal word out of gods mouth.
2. A book of made up stories.
3. A book of wisdom created by brilliant ancestors which ensures a steady supply of dupes to profit off of, while the practical guidance inside the bible can preserve wise families alive through the various “tribulations” as they are installed against the dupes.
You forgot, a bunch of garbage aimed at destroying whites/Romans
Why is it the God of the Jews, the Communism of the Jews, or the Devil of the Jews? Name brand recognition?
You’re fully aware of the tactics and history of the tribe. Yet follow their #1 selling script to their #1 name brand death cult. The tribe has destroyed nations and peoples 4000 years before the Khazar story. Presuming there is a shred of truth to the “Khazar” story, we can point to many, many examples of cryptic Jews in mainstream media, big pharma, big agri, big tech, mainstream politics. From Hillary, Pelosi, Gates, Fauci, Bush. NO ONE converts to Judaism excluding crypto Jews. Time to learn our lesson is running out.
John 14:6. I am the way, the truth and the life. NO man cometh to the Father but by me. Jesus is the ONLY way!
Jesus is the way to you realizing you are also a god.
That is how he is the path to “the father”
I agree with the potential God part. We don’t need Abrahamic death cults to tell us what our polytheist ancestors knew much better than we.
You can worship the God of Abraham, but the story ends in Armageddon and one world government. Not spirituality, but lazy cowardice, caving to proto-Communist terrorist threats.
I keep my gold right next to my lead…good luck because I really don’t give a shit anymore.
GOLD IS FOR THE “MIND” TO STAY “ALIVE”…SILVER IS FOR THE “BODY” TO STAY ALIVE!
WE NEED BOTH TO BECOME “IMMORTAL” BEINGS!
RE-MEM-BER THE “BUTTERFLY”???
Jeets are close to as repulsive as the neegers. I have begun to shit in the streets and rape on public transit in anticipation of full pajeet takeover.
I “use to” burn incense then realized the practice is nonsense.
