How to save life and wealth in a world of chaos

the recent video of how people lost their wealth/reserve their wealth in a period of turmoil was found to be useful in today's life. for information, see chinese below. a lot of it comes from..https://www.amazon.com/Wealth-War-Wisdom-Barton-Bigs/dp/0470474793An interested friend can buy to read。

My greatest feeling is that everything is “sheltering the bad and bad”, that it is fate, that it is fate, that we have to do everything in our power, but that we have to accept “transformation”. In the great times, even the family of the tsars of Russia, they were small and ended up being shut down。

Local, local, local

Important things say three times. It was important to choose the right geographical location, otherwise the property would be zero and the weight would be closed。

• a.A Jewish family split up in the Second World War and fled all the way to France, ended up in a concentration camp, where some relatives fled to Portugal and survived。

• b.In 1943, many Nazis had begun to send remittances secretly to South America, and they had not sent them to Eurasia or the United States. That was the right choice, at least at that time, although they were still being liquidated in South America after the war, which was the case。

• c.The majority of the inhabitants of the Soviet Republic in 1991 had lost their property overnight, as most ordinary people were in full-time SOVIE。

If you're in trouble, you need to know, make your own judgment

Thinking about who's winning the cards? In 1942, Nomura securities were already in short supply of food from within Japan, and the fence around the palace park was removed from iron refining to feel that Japan might eventually lose. Although newspapers and radio stations broadcast only good news of the war, Nomura observed that many naval officers and pilots who had participated in the Midway and Coral Sea Battles had arranged geishas, and that when they failed to return, the geisha girlfriends were beginning to get scared。

The Nomura family, aware of the bad news, began to sell their holdings gradually, even empty. But as a Japanese consortium, they can't allocate their assets to the victories. What should we do? They ask themselves, "If Japan loses the war and rebuilds after the war, what should it hold now? They believed that land and property would be the best preservation tool after the war and then bought commercial and residential property. These assets financed the rapid post-war expansion of Nomura securities, which eventually became the leading securities firm in Japan。

Case of Germany

In the 1930s, many Jewish noble families in Germany had faith in the State, convinced that “we are also Germans and that the storm will soon be over”. They have assets, status, social identity and no sense of urgency to leave the country。

Soon, however, their judgement was shattered by reality. When the Nazis came to power, Germany imposed strict foreign exchange controls, imposing a heavy tax of up to 78 per cent on the transfer of assets (foreign exchange). By 1938, Crystal Night, there was a growing awareness of the need to leave. But then I couldn't leave. Visas are difficult to obtain, funds are frozen and many end up trapped inside the country。

This history reminds us:When you feel that you don't have to go now, maybe you have a choice。Einstein made a good judgment, immigrating to Princeton, teaching。

in a world of chaos, don't let go

• a.In 1937, even Churchill was attracted to the United States cattle market, and he was leveraged to do more, and in 1938 he was blown up. He then paid his debt by writing copies。

• b.the rich jews in germany, because most of their assets are german exposures (real estate, business, currency), and the more warm water boils frogs, the later they leave, the less they can afford to sink, the less they can afford。

• c.In modern times, the average life expectancy of the constituent stock companies, with the 500 index, has declined from 35 years in the 1950s to 10-15 years。

  • 1958: Average life expectancy of 500 companies is 61 years

  • 1980: Down to about 30 years

  • Around 2020: reduced to about 18 years

  • Forecast to 2030: probably only about 12 years。

Risk awareness for “self-custody” and “triangular trust”

It is possible that all previous property documents will be invalidated. The money you keep in the bank, the gold you save, the property you buy, are essentially tripartite. Do you think the estate should be in my name? But the real estate depends on the local government's approval of your property document, so essentially you're also in the name of a government。

• a.During the Second World War, Polish nobles were finally confiscated by Germany, and after the war they thought they could take it back, Poland was transferred to the Soviet sphere of influence in the Yalta agreement, amounting to a change in the nature of the regime and total non-recognition of private property rights. Over the past 3/4 years, all the assets of the rich in Russia, particularly the oligarchs, in NATO countries have been frozen. When NATO countries wanted sanctions, the Russian oligarchs in London and New York were the hardest to take away, the property。

• b.During the Second World War, Japanese assets in the United States were frozen and even confiscated. On 7 December 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and on 8 December, the United States declared war on Japan and formally joined World War II. Since then, the United States has taken prompt measures to freeze the assets of the Japanese Government, businesses and individuals in the United States, of whom 120,000 Japanese (2/3 of whom are citizens with United States passports) were sent to the Internment Camps, many families ' properties, farms, businesses were forced to sell or lose them directly before leaving, and most people after the war were unable to recover them。

• c.At the end of World War II in 1945, the Yugoslav Government of Tito issued an order depriving all Germans (including civilians) in Yugoslavia of their citizenship and property rights collectively. They are regarded as a group of war criminals and are not allowed to own land, property or enjoy normal civil rights. Thousands of civilians of German origin, including children and the elderly, have been put into labour camps, where an estimated 50,000-60,000 people have died. In particular, between the end of 1944 and 1946, systematic cleansing occurred in parts of the country: German men were forced to work or executed locally; German women and children were raped, abused and massacred。

Or 3rd party treasure

The gold held by the Jews in the French bank safe was confiscated after the German occupation, when all the safes were opened by the Germans. But the gold, buried in secret places of their own knowledge, was preserved after the war。

• a.I have also heard an interesting story about a Jewish family that not only reserves 10 per cent of its family's wealth as gold, but also because of the experience of the confiscation of the “triangular trust” in World War II, they keep their own gold and exchange most of it for gold, not gold bars. Because only gold coins can be paid in small amounts, so that you can buy customs all the way from a war zone to a region where you want to take refuge。

• b.In 1939, 20 per cent of the wealth of most French families was gold bars, which were either stored in Switzerland or buried in the backyard of the castle. In that terrible era, there were three problems with the flood of gold:

  • FirstTo sell some gold, you have to find a real buyer or a black market dealer. In a barbarian society full of informers and traitors, anything can happen, and you may end up being stabbed in an alley or locked in a cellar by the Gestapo。

  • SecondThe price of gold, whether real buyers or black market traders, will be significantly reduced, but this is inevitable because there is no open trading market。

  • ThirdIf you stay in occupied France, you must hide the gold. From the autumn of 1940, all French banks were required to report the contents of the safe to the Germans. The occupation authorities accordingly issued promissory notes “to borrow” gold before transporting it to Germany. After the war, the promissory notes were not honoured because the Nazi Government destroyed the files in the Berlin defence. As the Allied Forces approached Paris, all the remaining gold was confiscated by German officials to help them escape the impending catastrophe。

However, in the chaos of the last years of the war, the gold buried in the backyard is more valuable and safer than any other asset class, such as property or business. In general, the history of World War II has taught us not to lock gold and jewellery in the country ' s bank safe。

Summary

A world of chaos is normal, and a world of excellence is extraordinary. Less than 300 years in the documented history of humankind over the past 3,500 years have been years without a global record of war。

Our recommendations to you are:

1. don't ever do that• Multiple asset classes, geographical diversity, tripartite hosting/self-custody diversification

2. Men don't stand under the wallDon't be presumptuous, don't be daft. When everyone wants to go, they can't go。
