Tyranny's little helpers
Published: Wed, 07/03/19
The best overall business/marketing book I possess is "Email Players" subscriber Ken McCarthy's "System Club Letters" book. I dig it so much I even gifted it to my "Email Players" subscribers a few years ago.
My favorite chapter is about Independence Day.
(That's tomorrow in the U.S.)
Ken 'splains why it's lost its meaning:
"Reason #1: Independence is no longer a treasured virtue in our country. Reason #2: Many of the things that the Founding Fathers found so objectionable - like taxation without representation for example - have become institutionalized in the US. Big business, big media, big government - the country seems to be run for their benefit today, not ours."
People are completely gullible.
(Just look at how people follow corrupt politicians like rats following the Pied Piper...)
Another great insight from that chapter:
Ken notes how when this country was founded 90% of people worked (and thought) for themselves.
Today?
Only 10% do.
The rest are slaving away, swallowing everything the media narrates to them, voting their rights away for fear of non-existent boogymen, enthusiastically cheering on unelected activist judges making laws out of thin air and based on their feels, piling on debt, race baiting, class warfaring, never questioning, always obeying — tyranny's little helpers.
Ken's solution?
Become economically independent.
And then use your economic independence to take a stand against the politicians and unelected bankers, bureaucrats, judges, and foreign interests trying to steal yours and your children's birthrights for their 30 pieces of copper.
Anyway, I highly recommend reading it.
And then *keep* reading it.
Perpetually.
As far as how to become economically independent...
Even though they aren't about becoming economically independent, my Villains books can give you the inner game (where it all begins) for becoming just that. And, unlike all my other books (such as the expensive one about list-building I am launching tomorrow) they are dirt cheap.

P.S. Heads up to Email Players subscribers:
The July issue may not drop until as late as next week. The reason why is, I am including a special gift with your issue that is going to take longer to prep than I anticipated.
The printer is going to try to get it out faster than that.
But, it may not be until early next week.
So if it seems like it's taking longer than usual, that is why.
