All this stuff is he's like ramping up all this anxiety and all these news stories in order to canal those feelings towards now buy gold from Kirk to make sure that you're safe from all this terrible inflation and the strait of Hormuz closing.
Anyway, I don't know anything about this Donald McIlvaney guy, but I did look into him a little bit. I did find that his main website is just a portal to a gold sales outlet.
On average, Ted's got about a 5% markup. He's got deals where he loses money, where you can get two silver dollars at cost, two films, and a book for free.
Yeah, we mentioned it earlier, and we talked about it on the show before, but it's worth reminding anyone who hasn't listened to our back catalog that Ted Anderson, the guy who syndicates Alex's show and is one of his biggest sponsors through Bidas Resources, is no longer legally allowed to sell precious metals. About two years after this episode came out, Ted got in trouble with the state of Minnesota, and they revoked his license because he, quote, misappropriated customers' money and misrepresented terms of sale to them. The state found that Midas Resources, quote, routinely failed without prior agreement to deliver Bouillon coins to its customers within 30 days of payment and otherwise misrepresented to customers the terms of sale. He was kicked out of the precious metals business and had to pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars to customers in restitution. Ted Anderson is running a shady as shit gold company.
Because these are all very predictable for the most part. It's just people selling gold. The second half of this interview is very predictable. Okay. It's the gold part. Right. But generally when Ted comes on, it's all business because it's a commercial. That's why he's there.
And Ted doesn't really even make money doing this. He buys the gold and silver when it's low, and he sells it when it's low, and he sells it.
It's very complicated, and the fact that he says that their sponsors is fucked up, and then it's fucked up because we know, we've seen just how desperately he tries to sell gold. And, like, the idea that he's saying, we barely sell gold. It's like, you exist to sell gold.
Peter Schiff, who is a frequent guest on Alex Jones' show, is a prominent Austrian-style economic commentator. Not surprisingly, he has his own gold sale operation.
He is a guy who runs a publication called The International Forecaster where they give a bunch of predictions about stuff. And hey, guess what we didn't realize from the times we've listened to him? He is just a fucking shill for gold sale.
