Why SELF CUSTODY is the only option to survive the financial reset
When I first heard about the Wah -- yet another name for the universal morphogenic information field -- I pictured a warm lake or inland sea, something gently flowing but almost still, and a "disturbance in the Wah" was envisioned like a landslide or rock falling into the depths, causing waves and ripples and more or less erosion of the shoreline.
Today we are facing a vast disturbance in the Wah and people everywhere are seeking safe places to invest Federal Reserve Notes in something worthwhile and actual and under their own control.
You have heard that at sea and in the jurisdiction of the sea, possession is nine-tenths of the law, and that is true. That "possession" is called self-custody. You are not trusting anyone else to hold your asset for you; you are holding onto it yourself.
Many Americans are unaware that bank depository agreements have changed in recent years and as a result, the bank styles itself as the owner of your deposits --- not you. You are (mis) represented as voluntarily accepting the role of being the Creditor of the bank in the event of a collapse and agreeing to the "bail in" of your deposits for the bank's benefit ---- all without actually being a bank shareholder.
This is a little bit like being the Maid of Honor at a wedding and winding up in bed with the Groom. You start out as a Depositor, bypass being a Shareholder, and wind up as a Creditor among an unknown number of other Creditors. Scary.
Self-custody of your assets, like keeping your money in a sock under your mattress, precludes this danger because you never become a depositor and therefore never get caught in the bank's web of counterparty interests.
Here is a good example of it --- "mortgage backed securities" -- in which individual mortgage obligations are all bundled together and used as separate collateral assets that investors buy up like cotton candy because they are betting that even if a few mortgages fail, the rest of the mortgages will continue to yield.
Ask what happens if a large percentage of the bundled mortgages do fail? Then you become a "non-possessory counterparty Creditor" of the foreclosed homeowners and nobody knows who anyone is or even which mortgages are in which bundle. Whatever value you hold is in the abandoned homes and land, but nobody knows exactly which home(s) your counterparty interest is vested in. And you have no way to identify all the other bilked investors who are in the same boat you are.
You can't go claim one of the now-millions of foreclosed and vacant homes because there is nothing specific tying your investment to any particular house. This is because you agreed to be a non-possessory asset holder and didn't count on becoming a non-specific counterparty Creditor.
Old Timers called this "buying a pig in a poke" --- a gunny sack, in other words --- and the most likely result then and now, is you get home and find a badger or other critter in the bag, not a pig at all.
Now consider that mortgage backed securities were once touted as among the most secure investments you could make?
Same thing with stocks and bonds; in our Grandfather's day, investors owned stock certificates that guaranteed them a percentage interest in the assets of an actual company, but today your name isn't on any stock certificate and when you "buy" stocks, you are not recognizable as a shareholder thanks to the brokerage system --- a system that has been described as one designed to make sure you go broke.
The broker needs a license to buy the stock and hold it, which he does, but in his name or the name of his business, not yours. You only own a "creditor interest" in the stock your money purchased, not the stock itself. You can cry all you want, but the only people with a chance to get anything out of a failed corporation are the actual shareholders and if you invested in a company through a brokerage firm, that isn't you.
Again, you lack self-custody. The stock certificates aren't in your name and they aren't held in your hands, so....
Government Treasury bonds, like Federal Reserve Notes, are always I.O.U.s. The only difference is that Treasury bonds are performance bonds, while Federal Reserve Notes are the resulting consumer debt
associated with those bonds.
Whenever you deal in performance bonds you are dealing with labor contracts of one kind or another, an unsavory business that leads to peonage (indentured servitude) or enslavement via a process described at some length in "Blood Money" which is available through Amazon or the TASA website.
Your labor has value, but it is an ephemeral and ever changing value that depends on the job market and prevailing demand for your skills; and, while you are always theoretically in possession of your ability to produce labor, it has no value until the labor is performed. As a result, the value of your labor has to be captured in some viable form of money or credit after-the-fact and despite being your own Creditor, you are always running a deficit.
Someone did a study of the math involved and determined that since the early 1970's the Minimum Wage should have been raised to around $66 per hour, and this failure to raise worker's wages in tandem with inflation is the single biggest deflationary factor in the financial system.
Put another way, the fiat dollar has been held together for fifty plus years on the backs of working people.
The take home point (besides the gross injustice of this) is that you have no viable form of self-custody pertaining to your labor assets.
As you can now appreciate, self-custody is a big deal, but it is not something that bankers, brokers, or financial advisers talk about. It's something you need to talk about, if only to yourself.
Real financial safety and security demands taking responsibility for your own investments and finding ways to possess your own assets.
Gold and silver are traditional self-custody forms of money that are additionally fungible --- meaning one gold or silver coin is basically the same as and has the same value as another coin of the same kind. Fine art and jewelry, though not convenient to sell, and not fungible, are nonetheless other forms of traditional self-custody assets.
During wartime or during any supply chain collapse, normal perishable commodities take on some of the character of self-custody assets. A man who has a pound of coffee or bag of salt to sell in a market deprived of these actual commodities can easily use them as a self-custody asset.
