| I sat down with Claudio Grass, Managing Director of GlobalGold.ch- https://www.globalgold.ch -out of Switzerland, on June 18. Our conversation began with a lively discussion of the local politics in Switzerland, the new UP Independent Party. The UP Party is a Libertarian movement that believes the Swiss Franc should be backed by 20% gold. This is one of the platforms that is gathering momentum in Switzerland and, hopefully, will take root and spread.
Our conversation quickly turned to a cashless society, which is being pushed all across the globe, in some locations it is more in-your-face than others, but it is being pushed everywhere you turn. The UP Party has already stood against a piece of legislation, and won, barring the governments desire to keep people from making purchases of more then $100,000 Francs with cash. Ridiculous, it is my money and I should be able to spend how much I want on what I want, when I want. I should not be forced to use some type of electronic tracking device, I mean electronic payment in order to make a purchase. We also discuss what is happening with the Swiss gold refiners and much more. Thank you for listening/watching. |

.................
Keeping assets outside of the country you live is key. Switzerland remains the best jurisdiction for private property rights. Why? Because of its federalist structure in combination with direct democracy. It assures that the power of politicians is limited and that the people and not the politicians are the sovereign.
