I am a very keen observer of trends. When I was child I used to read a lot of comic books and was always fascinated by superpowers. Early on I tried to think what would be the best super power to have. Was it flying, super human strength or X-ray vision? I decided at a very early age that best super power to have was perfect timing. Think about it, if the hero was always in the right place, at the right time, he would always win. I spent many years in the real world trying to hone that ability. I saw that if you were aware of how the world really worked, you could sense what was coming and how to best prepare for it. I used it to manage millions of inventory and my own personal asset management. The free Sons of Liberty Academy is in large part a training course on trends. When you are aware… you can prepare.
“Do your thoughts serve to free you or simply to make you serve?” –Chris Duane
The trend I see today is people are starting to panic. The debt ceiling debate got a lot more attention than the usual TV distractions our Elite inundates us with. People are starting to do the very dangerous thing and think about what is really going on. We have been programmed through our slave like education system to only input and output information. Memorize dead facts and regurgitate them on some exam later. Depending on how good you do that, determines how successful you are in the paradigm. This thought process is exactly what a computer, automaton or a slave does. This breeds a man that is very useful for a government to rule, a corporation to abuse and a military to die.
“Between stimulus and response, there is a space, and in that space, is our freedom” -Viktor Frankyl
We have all heard of a “classical education,” but few know what that really means. It was based on the Trivium of Grammar (Observation), Logic and Rhetoric. Grammar (Observation) the rational and unemotional observation of symbols, situations or facts allows truth to be observed. Logic is processing the current set of facts and logically thinking about what will be the logical consequences of, or the best course of action in light of the observation. Rhetoric is the ability to tell either yourself or others of your observation and your line of thinking. This foundation of education gave the pupil the ability to learn everything from astronomy to music. This is why so many of our Founding Fathers were able to speak 7 languages and were inventors, architects and political theorists.
We have been purposely devolved into emotionally observing, mostly through fear, and following a predetermined solution. The Elite call it Problem-Reaction-Solution. They create problems they wait for the blind emotional reaction of their slaves whom they have programmed to react on fear and ignorance and then offer a predetermined solution. This is why things never change. Those that do the real logical thinking are getting what they want, which is more for them and less for you.
“The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.” Steven Biko
I spent 6 years putting together the Sons of Liberty Academy and ran across the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Warburgs, Bilderbergers, Masons and a whole host of shadowy and nefarious characters. I determined early on that they were not the enemy despite their vast fortunes and psychopathic behavior. The problem lied with us. There is no way 10,000 of the smartest, richest men in the world could control 7 billion people. I can’t even control my 3-year-old son. The real problem lay with us. We control ourselves. If we used logic and no longer thought like slaves we would be free. The Rothschilds did not force me into using paper money and assets, I volunteered to do that based off of their education and propaganda. As soon as I saw that the dollar was debt that bankers enslaved us with, I got out of their casino and bought real assets like silver. And that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Today, we are seeing people starting to logically think about the outcome of all of this debt and an economy that will not recover. They are seeing that the dollar is not a safe place to be and that its collapse will bring down all paper assets. Logic would dictate that real assets like gold and silver are the place to be. This past week the response to the blog was bigger than the first 3 months. While I am encouraged by the amount of people who came to the blog, I could tell the normally brilliant comments, devolved into divide and conquer or other ignorant or fearful thought. We did get 2,500 new members to the Academy and that was simply amazing. I hope the Academy will help people through this difficult reprogramming of their mind. It is all of the information I spent 6 years researching in the way that I wished I had learned it. The Academy is free with the Gandhi link. Please consider donating and supporting the Academy. The only way we are going to reach the millions of people we need to reach is through people supporting the Academy.
You are getting more skilled at the third part of the Trivium; rhetoric. This is a very good article. We need to change, (both you and me) and yes, the 7 billion people, far more than those “at the top”. In fact, in many ways, we are at the top of the silver promotion industry; because the industry is so small, and our influence through our online blogs is growing.
I think it is important to convince people to buy silver, not just for the increase in value that is sure to come, but to convince them to hold silver until long after the dollar dies, and hold it through and/or despite the introduction of any other currency.
Silver is freedom! Silver creates freedom. Silver gifts freedom to it’s owners. If you can guard your own silver, you can guard your own freedom.
It’s startling to see how much I don’t know. The more I read on DTOM and sites like it, the more I am confronted with that fact. Here I thought I received a good education, all the way up through my Masters, but in reality it was “their” education, and not the true education I needed.
Well, this old dog is learning LOTS of new things and many new tricks, and you can be sure I am honing my rhetoric skills every day as well! Thanks, Chris.
Check out this site; http://www.classical-homeschooling.org. It talks about how to teach classical homeschooling using the trivium and incorporating it into the lessons that are mandated by specific states. It gives a good overview and resources for those who want to learn more about how for thousands of years people were efficiently schooled to become the powerhouse thinkers of their day, and it explains why the Prussian method was introduced into America; so that people will become more compliant to the will of the state, and do what they are told. This reawakening is the beginning of a new Renaissance, and not only in education; lets renew the arts, sciences and philosophy! It will be a joyous rebirth!
The Purpose of the “Academy” in reality, if truth be told, is to identify those with tangible holdings of Physical Wealth, in the form of Precious Metals. By Joining the “Academy” One is Firstly, Identifying themselves to become a Target , Post Collapse. Two, The “Academy” is a Disinformation site, designed to herd the less than critical thinkers into a Corral of easily targeted individuals. Three, The Academy, will be your downfall. Disassociate yourselves from any group promising strength, community, or like minded thinking, these will be the Primary targets of the new Oligarchy that will rise from the ruin to prey upon the less fortunate. Word to the wise is sufficient.
You apparently have no idea what you are talking about since all of my info is free and the only thing people need is to create a email account to gain access.
How exactly is teaching people HOW to think the same as telling them WHAT to think?
The Academy is not disinfo and I tell everyone to question everything including me.
The Academy is not a “group”, it teaches leaderless resistance and thousands have taken the lessons and moved on.
There is no “group” we have no head quarters or even leaders.
[...] When this type video starts becoming more and more popular and people start to be entertained by truth and questioning everything, the end of the dollar paradigm is near. When you start to see guys that break through the current paradigm get deals and contracts to spread their ideas, the end of the paradigm is near. This type of talk will become popular and it will be cool to ask questions. People will then no longer trust or care about our leaders. They will go about freeing themselves through logical independent thought instead of emotional slave thought. (Read: The Trivium- The Key To Freedom.) [...]

Hey Chris,
Just wanted to take a moment out of my life to thank you for all the life changing decisions/events that have occurred because of the information you've brought to the forefront when I discovered you, DTOM, & the SOL academy.
I shunned the psychopaths in my life, closed my facebook, took every hour of free time to see the academy and read A LOT (a first for me), learned that I have a deep innate thirst for knowledge and teaching, jumped head first on topics I would have NEVER taken an interest in if not for waking up (finance, economics, politics, psychology, to name a few), and view everything in a completely different, but forward thinking and more intricate way.
What you say is so true ... "once your eyes are open, you can never close them again" - EVER.
The magnitude of all the changes that I've made in my life because of the SOL academy are so huge that I can't even begin to put a word on it. It's like a golden seed of life, love & truth, planted in my mind that is making me realize what does matter, what is real, and what I want be at the end of the day to myself, loved ones, and the world.
Hope you're having a well-deserved and wonderful time with your family. A toast to you, the individuals in our group, and all the great and positive things to come despite such times.
Peace.
- Irving A.

You really need to sign up at the Sons Of Liberty Academy! I have been researching, as Chris has, for the last 5 years and have found out many things that have really changed my way of thinking! After signing up with Chris I have learned a lot more and he has vilified that which I have already learned!
Check it out!
He will BLOW your mind and secure your future! Chris Duane ROCKS!!!

I just finished the 10 modules of the Sons of Liberty Academy. I have never been so educated and aware, in such a short time.
I now have a game plan and see my role more clearly. It all makes sense.
It is very important to understand what is going on in our world and how to fight against it most effectively.
45 hours of video is a lot of information (I spend 3 weeks day and night, going through the course).
I would look for information on my own and it would take me a lot of time but to have it done and just to be able to build on that is great.
I do appreciate it to be free otherwise I would not be able to take it.
Thanks;
Raj

I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you. I've been studying the Academy, about to start module 5.
The information I've observed to this point has opened my mind to new ideas, and also reaffirmed some beliefs I've always had. I feel a tremendous sense of confidence now, the fear is subsiding, and I'm excited to complete the Academy and find the direction I can take with my future, as well as my friends and family.
As Bill Hicks said, the next revolution will be a revolution of ideas. I'm glad to be a part of this program.
Many thanks,
Michael

"Silver Shield,
The Sons of Liberty Academy is really fantastic! I highly recommend the Academy and the hard work and dedication to the truth that Silver Shield has put forth for defenders of Freedom and Liberty.
The betrayal of the Tea Party loyalist is becoming evident. A rebellion is brewing day by day, and the Power Elite have every right to be very worried.
Awaken People don't be fooled again! Join the Academy.."

My only regret is that I did not have this knowledge 20 years ago. The Sons of Liberty Academy is truly life changing.
If anyone is on the fence about joining the Academy, I will tell them they are doing themselves, their family and the country a injustice by not taking it.
Don’t let the money stand in the way, the course is invaluable and will pay for it self many times over with the finance info within the course.
I have two masters degrees and the Sons of Liberty Academy has been of greater benefit than all the “formal” education I have received.
Thanks Chris! You are a true Patriot and hero! -Randy H.

"I am very excited about what I've learned so far! I have 3 more modules to complete. I've gone through a few of them twice, especially when there is history discussed. I find that very interesting. I am going to run through the entire Academy again, and review all the additional materials linked below the videos. There is so, so much information. Thank you for your hard work putting this together.
I am spreading the word."

"I have just finished watching Module Six and continue to be amazed at the deception perpetrated on the American people.
I applaud your work and thank you sincerely for these eye-opening truths you have laid out.
I never had an interest in politics or our monetary system because it seemed too confusing, however, the simple way it is taught in the Academy has far surpassed any education I have received in my 35 years on this earth."

"In just a few short months, I've gone from being a skeptic to being a believer.
I'm a born-again Christian, a veteran, and a patriot, but I'm also a realist.
I now prep and am protecting my assets.
DTOM has played a big part in my new education.
Heck, I love the T-shirts, too!
Thanks for doing a great job. Now I Get It!!!!"

Thank you for giving me the wisdom of awareness.
I have been sharing it with others, but there are so many more to reach. I am not afraid of the changes we will soon see, but confident that I am prepared to handle them. We are building a strong group here in my area and have shared your website with several key people of influence here.
Thank God I found you and took the time to go through the Academy. At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, my life will never be the same, and for that I am very grateful.

Great idea Chris!
Harley,
That is why the Academy is so large.
I learn stuff new every day and question everything.
jason…thanks for leading me to dtom…found the silver bullet and the silver shield on your site…i was a very early academy member.
God bless you and your family.
