The Art of the Interview (#46)

from Viral Podcasting

Doing a great interview is an acquired skill and art. Unfortunately there really aren’t any great books on the topic either. Maybe it’s time to write one. There’s a lot more to it than just asked no a bunch of questions. Canned interviews sound canned and will not generate interest. You’ve got to find the angle. You need to find a side of your subject that isn’t well known or common knowledge. Are with a different perspective you can make a difference. Just put your mind to it and think differently. When it comes to interviewing it’s all about practice and point of view. You need to stand out. And remember that the most difficult subjects provide you with an incredible challenge to grow and improve your skills.

Frank Vernuccio – The Republicans Learn to Fight

from Financial Survival Network

Frank Vernuccio is back… There was a time when the most minor of allegations would derail a republican judicial nominee. Those days appear to be behind us. It’s suddenly dawned on the party of stupid that if they don’t fight for all wrongly accused appointees and nominees that they will all be wrongfully accused and challenged. The ultimate fight will take place at the ballot box in November. Remember October is #NationalLietoYourPollsterMonth!

John Rubino – Easy Money Gets You Out of Everything

from Financial Survival Network

John Rubino is back for another Monday… The government only knows one way, 1) if in a crisis, print money. 2) If the crisis continues, print more and more. If that doesn’t work go back to step one. We all know that the US Dollar and fiat currencies are doomed. But no doubt they’ll create a new fiat currency to replace the old one. It’s just the way they roll. The Dollar is dead, long live the Dollar!

The Fun Has Just Begun

by Kerry Lutz
Financial Survival Network

While the democrats lie bleeding, beaten up, exhausted and spent, President Trump is energetic, beaming and on an emotional high. The Kavanaugh confirmation is what winning is all about. While republicans of yesteryear would take this as a good time to rest upon their laurels, not so Donald Trump. Remember he’s the workaholic n’chief and he will promptly go on the offensive. There’s blood in the water and now would be a great time to inflict near fatal damage upon his sworn enemies. Trump is the master of Churchill’s total war concept. When he rode down that escalator that fateful day in June 2015,he knew it was a fight to the death.

Kavanaugh is in, but that’s only the beginning. Sun Tzu, unlike Civil War General McClellan, would not let his enemies retreat only to prepare and regroup to fight another day. No, he would recognize that the timing is right for inflicting mortal defeat upon them. So too Donald Trump.

From the beginning of Trump’s meteoric rise to power, I stated that it’s never a good idea to be betting against him. He’s won time and time again, with no let up in sight. If the democrats had been a real party and not a gaggle of miscreants, they would have recognized that a Trumpian Tide would life all boats and just go along for the ride. They could have sat back for 8 years, wisely chosen their battles and watched their public approval numbers go up. Instead, they suffer from a massive case of oppositional defiant disorder. If Trump were to rescue a littler of puppies from a kill shelter and bring them to the Whitehouse, they’d accuse him of animal cruelty.

It doesn’t matter what the issue, Trump will be completely opposed. Sun Tzu was big on picking the time and place of battle. This lesson has gone over and above the limited intellectual capacities of the modern Democrat Party. They are too busy defending the Alamo of their failed beliefs and policies to notice that they’re out of powder and ammo. How much longer can they continue on before they realize the futility of their cause? That’s a rhetorical question that needs no answer. It’s obvious that they believe they must kill their party to save it. And they’re getting their wish.

Before World War II, it is said that General George Patton, being the visionary he was, believed that another Great War with Germany was inevitable. He spent much time traveling Europe, exploring future potential battlefields and devising strategies to defeat the future enemy. So too with President Donald Trump. Before lowering himself into the gladiator pit of modern American politics, he visited with potential friends and enemies alike. He studied them for their strengths and weaknesses knowing that one day he would be poised to slay the deep state dragon. Those who could be made allies such as Senators Rand Paul and Lindsey Graham would be converted and sent out to do battle on his behalf. Those who couldn’t or wouldn’t see the wisdom of Trump’s ways would be undermined and eventually destroyed.

Now the battle is on and the scenarios that Trump spent years preparing for have become a reality. There’s no stopping him and there’s no stopping the mostly self-inflicted immolation of the Democrat Party. While they’re sighing a note of exhausted relief after the Kavanaugh defeat, President Trump is preparing the final battle cry. The democrats are like a cornered platoon in Vietnam, knowing that they’re surrounded by the Vietcong, just waiting to strike. Their last ditch defense is to call in the artillery and bomb their own position in hopes that they can take out more of the enemy than themselves. Not a sound long term strategy, but they hope they’ll live to fight another day. In this era asymmetric political warfare, Ho Chi Minh like Donald Trump has seen to it that their paths of retreat have been cut off, the napalm is primed and their days are numbered.

Regards,
~Kerry.
