An old, fat, rich, bald, white coward.

That’s what he called himself. “If you were a real believer in my social and political theology and you regarded taxes as coercion and theft,” Rick Rule said. ”The logical conclusion of that is that you refuse to pay tax…” Unfortunately, If you refuse to pay tax, the IRS would “send two or three nasty letters. Then some big guys in blue uniforms with guns” would show up at Rick’s door. “And you know what, Addison?” Rick went on, “[they shoot better than I do]( and so I'll admit it. In terms of the actions that would constitute a moral response, I am a coward.” I’d add humorous, keen, intelligent. And eloquent.  “I’m feeling very feisty about this Bank, Addison,” Rick describes his latest project “Battle Bank!” He and his partners are lending money against gold and precious metal reserves. “Markets are messy, but they work,” he said almost wistfully. “What you become as a depositor,” like at our favorite punching bag lately, JP Morgan Chase, “is an unsecured creditor of a regulated hedge fund... which is not my idea of a good time,” he chides. Mr. Rule is a true contrarian, right? Who else would start a new bank during a regional banking crisis following a pandemic that shut the global economy down and incited a 40-year epic bout with inflation? In this week’s Wiggin Session interview, Rick gets animated when talking about banking in general, and his “Battle Bank!” in particular. [Watch the Session Now ▶]( Follow your own bliss, Addison Wiggin The Wiggin Sessions P.S. We have been friends with Rick for a number of years. He was my “hired gun” back in the early 2000s. For a ten year run we strung together a precious metal and natural resource conference in Vancouver, BC. I was always impressed at how much energy he brought to the room of roughly 1,000 people at 6am before breakfast each day for 4 days straight. During that same time he was a founding member of Everbank, the bank we advocated using for years as a purveyor of interest bearing foreign currency accounts outside the U.S. Dollar. I did a fair amount of business with that bank myself in a gold CD they had on offer at the time. It’s worth hearing Rick’s thoughts on banking today and what services they will be providing in Battle Bank!, right [here]( POWERED BY REPUBLICAN METAL CO [Urgent] Keep Their Hands OFF Your Money Biden couldn't get his draconian "Build Back Better" plan passed.A plan that some say was targeting millions of retirement accounts. So he and his cronies repackaged the bill as H.R. 5376. And snuck it past Congress on August 16, 2022. If you have an IRA or 401(k), you need to take immediate action.
