There have been all kinds of bad and bogus narratives about our open southern border with Mexico. The narratives prove real investigative journalism in this country is now officially dead. The most common narrative these days (if we hear anybody attempting journalism at all) goes like this, “Is Joe Biden completely incompetent about our open southern border, or is he just clueless?”
Anybody who has been following globalist billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundation knows that he wants open borders for America, which will destroy our sovereignty. Their misinformation campaign of Soros begins when this question is asked, and then he answers:
“Is the United States an open society?
We are an open society. The principles of an open society are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. And the institutions of our democracy are protected by our Constitution. The fact that we have a bunch of far-right ideologues in our executive branch does not turn us into a totalitarian dictatorship.”
Some adhere to the idea that America must be an “open society” rather than a “capitalist economy.” Some adhere to America must be a “managed democracy,” as of a book written in 1927. Those who are nationalists adhere to the ideal we are a “constitutional republic” before anything else.
“Why America is Not An Open Society”
Those who adhere to the teachings and beliefs of Soros argue America is a “society,” not an “economy.” We should be about people and not profit margins.
The problem with this is Soros and others with average thinking abilities know that when a society has more takers than makers, the system (whether you want to call it a society or economy) is unsustainable. We have already seen this in terms of blue “Death Spiral States” such as California and Illinois. Liberal Democrat policies are causing major corporations to close shops, and corporate headquarters are moving from these states. Whether you want to look at Tesla leaving California or Caterpillar leaving Illinois, the liberal policies forced upon the corporations and residences of these states are causing a mass exodus making a bad situation go from bad to worse.
When Democrat blue states allow for the lawlessness of liberal blue voters while severely and unconstitutionally prosecuting red voters simply trying to protect their own, America becomes dysfunctional.
The most disturbing aspect of these liberal globalist Democrats is they are gaslighters at the least and out-and-out liars and the most. Take a recent Wall Street Journal article of George Soros, where he cited a bogus study of the socialist left.
On March 15, 2022, a left-wing advocacy organization called The Third Way published a 15-page study with the provocative title “The Red State Murder Problem.” The report was written by Jim Kessler, a long-time Democratic policy director to Representative/Senator Charles “Chuck” Schumer, and Kylie Murdock, a former intern for Congresswoman Barbara Lee. She also served as a volunteer for Elizabeth Warren for President. Their study stated that the “murder rates are far higher in Trump-voting red states than Biden-voting blue states.”
The only problem with their report is it was a complete and utter lie, and they most probably knew so! The quickest way to call out bogus “researchers” is to challenge them to an open public debate with peers in their field. THEY NEVER ACCEPT THE OFFER, EVEN FOR PAY!
Dr. Tony Fauci is a good recent example after being challenged by entrepreneur billionaire Steve Kirsch to come to debate the Covid-19 pandemic and resultant vaccines that are not really vaccines at all but experimental drugs with unknown/unproven end results.
So this red state/city lie report comes out about crime being higher in Trump MAGA country. Of course, dozens of media outlets, including The Washington Post, The Hill, Inside Edition, Politifact, The Daily Beast, Los Angeles Magazine, the San Francisco Examiner, NBC News18, and many others, picked up this “study” and rabidly reported on its “findings.”
Americans are not stupid. That is why they are fleeing blue states in droves for red states.
Chicago and New York are well-known killing fields, even though the mainstream media no longer gives much reporting time to the senselessness of the crimes committed there.
So what is the end game of George Soros and his desire for open borders?
It may surprise many readers that you can legally bet on something (society or economy) to fail and profit from that failure. I first learned of this as a youth in agriculture. The publication Successful Farming did a really good editorial with an explanation on this about a year ago:
“The coming year may be a year to buy put options and perhaps sell less than you normally would. Puts provide you the right (not the obligation) to be short (sell) futures. You can think of puts like insurance against lower prices. Puts establish a price floor. Leave the crop in the bin and expected production unpriced to appreciate in value if prices rally.”
Even with this knowledge as a youth, I was shocked and horrified when this method was used as part of an insider trading or informed trading incident on 9-11-2001. A handful of investors took output options that both American and United airliners were going to go down that day, and, of course, they did.
While some “independent fact checkers” (aka gaslighters) tried to state this story was a conspiracy theory, Press for Truth offered a video that confirmed it is exactly true and another example of the FBI being derelict in duty!
The video that includes snippets of “The International Hearings on the Events of September 11, 2001” offers testimonies by experts that prove that those individuals who bet on these airliners failing on this particular day were no coincidence!

Also see the journal report titled “Unusual Option Market Activity and the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001”.
George Soros is betting on America to fail. He is actively working for it to do so in several ways.
- He controls the narrative of our news. Media Research Center (MRC) reports liberal billionaire George Soros is tied to at least 253 media organizations around the world by funding them.
- He funds campaigns of liberal prosecutors for cities and states. Chicago’s Kim Foxx is one such abysmal failure in her biased handling of the Jussie Smollett hoax, which caused the Chicago Police Department to actually have to threaten her if she did not do her job in prosecuting him. (Smollett alleged he was attacked by some guys wearing MAGA caps in downtown Chicago who attacked him for his race and homosexuality. In fact, he paid two guys he knew to rough him up as part of a publicity stunt.
- He funds states and cities that promote cashless bail, such as Illinois, with their new 2023 SAFE-T Act.
- He funds political candidates who promote sanctuary cities.
- He funds political candidates who support open borders.
And if you still think George is such as great man simply putting people over profits, go back and watch his “60 Minutes” interview of December 20, 1998, where Soros, himself, admitted to Steve Kroft that he had no regrets whatsoever about assisting the Nazis in confiscating property from the Jewish people during the Holocaust. Or maybe go see the part he played in the collapse of the Bank of England on September 16, 1992, on “Black Wednesday” when speculators “broke the pound.” You could do a deep dive as to why several countries starting with Russia, have International Arrest Warrants out on him. And while much of this is heavily hidden on the Internet these days, the story of Myanmar seizing Soros bank accounts with 11 arrest warrants issued for Open Society Foundation employees is not.
So make no mistake, Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats who have supported our open southern border in the past and are now stonewalling discussion about the humanitarian crisis developing today are not stupid or inept. They are on George’s payroll, which is willful and intentional treason!
It is estimated some new 5 million “takers” have entered the United States from 160 countries in the form of illegal immigrants since Joe Biden assumed the Oval Office. When America fails, and it will, George Soros and all of them need to be removed by force.

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
