THE SWISS Preserve SOLUTION
How To Preserve What Is Yours!  Ron Holland's politically incorrect guide to defending your wealth & liberty from internal and external threats in our new 21st Century.

A Google search engine for the online book, The Swiss Preserve Solution.

Read Ron's August 2008 Global Crash Update Report Here!    

Are you concerned about the long term decline of the dollar both in terms of value and as the world's reserve currency?  Do you fear an unwarranted lawsuit that could wipe out years of saving and investing not to mention even the very home you live in?

       The terrorists have attacked New York City twice before and 9/11 closed American investment markets for a week, could this happen again and for how long? Do you believe the government over reacted to 9/11 at home with the Patriot Act and numerous other regulations that seem to curtail your freedom and liberty while the terrorists just get stronger and more active on a global scale? What will happen to our remaining freedoms, the Constitution, due process and civil liberties here after the next major terrorist attack?

       Have you lost faith in both major political parties and most candidates, Congress, the President and our government to protect you from external threats while Washington now seems to be the major internal threat to your wealth and liberty instead of your protector and defender? Do you believe many of political, legal and regulatory institutions of America now threaten instead of offering the protection they were originally established for by our Patriot Founding Fathers? Finally do you worry long term about the future for your children and grandchildren in the United States as well as the outcome of the 2008 Presidential Election?

       Ron Holland has written "The Swiss Preserve Solution" so you can again feel safe and secure in the United States today. Where American institutions, the currency, the Federal Reserve, Wall Street, regulators and even the government have failed in their function to protect and defend us, he shows how similar Swiss institutions, investments and even their very model of government can provide us protections until we can again reestablish respected institutions and return to limited government in the United States.

       The nation of Switzerland and it's political and financial institutions can provide a secure, safe haven for your wealth and liberties from threats ranging from a falling dollar, volatile U.S. investment markets, unwarranted lawsuits and asset seizures, to terrorist attack on American markets and financial infrastructure and the continued loss of economic, personal and financial freedoms in America today.

       Ron suggests only by a return to a limited republic & confederation style government like the original American Articles of Confederation  modeled on the Swiss political structure of decentralized confederation government, do we have any chance to regain control of the federal government, protect citizen rights and limit special interest control of our political process. 

       This is  non PC guide to wealth preservation and restoring liberty by Ron Holland, a former American banker & trust  officer, retirement consultant,  president of a broker/dealer and creator of financial and retirement products. He has retired from the financial services industry but now warns American investors to beware of Wall Street, the dollar and the US  legal and regulatory system. He writes, the citizens of America are now faced with terrorist threats and loss of financial freedom and civil liberties at  home and an aggressive foreign policy abroad. This combined with aging demographics and exploding government and private debts now threaten the savings, wealth and  liberty of every American citizen overly concentrated in the US dollar and financial markets.

       The 26 chapters plus 12 case studies will give you the opportunity to read how some worst cases scenarios such as a run on the dollar could develop or stock market panic could develop. How a presidential executive order following a new terrorist attack could destroy your financial, religious and personal freedoms and how a terrorist WMD attack could close financial markets, freeze bank accounts and close the financial and banking system.

       His latest book will outline where we are  today in the historical context of what many now describe as the American Empire, how another major terror attack could cause a collapse of  the U.S. financial markets, liquidity and the dollar while limiting our remaining civil liberties, rights and political freedoms. He outlines how to secure your wealth now and begin the process of restoring our liberty and return to limited government before the next major terrorist attack or major financial panic after which & it may be too late for protecting our wealth, securing our rights or political action!

       Read and learn how "The Swiss Preserve Solution" can show you how to preserve the wealth, freedoms, security and our birthright of liberty as Americans we once had and will someday have again.

The Book Will Show You How To Build the Three Pillars of Personal, Financial, Political Freedom

      The first pillar is the FreedomFest conferences and their related activities which are fun, enlightening opportunities to learn more about a wide variety of personal and economic freedom topics, historical discussions and great interaction between conference attendees, exhibitors and speakers on a wide variety of subjects. You'll learn how the ultimate in financial freedom and wealth preservation today can be obtained through the Swiss Inner Circle and other organizations and providers with access to education, financial service providers, experts and activities to help you defend, expand and preserve your wealth.  Finally, the Swiss Confederation Institute explores how other nations including the United States can emulate the unqualified success of the Swiss political system and discover how it provides a roadmap for the U.S. to return to it's original political heritage of a limited, decentralized confederation government in the USA.

       Through global investing, international planning with the unique benefits of Switzerland's secure legal system, and the jurisdictional protections of a confederation government, a new approach to restoring safe and protected wealth in post 9/11 America has arrived. A handbook for securing private family wealth, The Swiss Preserve Solution also explores the opportunities for a richer life by preserving the values of personal independence and financial freedom for future generations. Ultimately, this new methodology of economic history and global investing uncovers the secret to protecting your wealth from financial risks like terrorism, the declining American dollar, and an exploding national debt triggered by self-serving politicians. 

Douglas Spicer

Foreword

 "He urged the audience to sell all bonds, and particularly get out of the U.S. dollar. The dollar is and has been the world's reserve currency,".... "As recently as 1987 we were a creditor nation, and today we owe the rest of the world over $10 trillion. And our foreign debt is increasing at the rate of $1 trillion every 15 months." The U.S. federal debt is out of control."                - Jim Rogers, author of The Investment Biker  www.jimrogers.com

Relax: I Don't Have Anything To Sell You

       I have spent over thirty years in the investment business developing products and retirement plans designed to protect Americans from a falling dollar, financial crisis and unwarranted lawsuits. I have lived and worked in Switzerland, was president of an American investment firm licensed in 47 states, and I developed the first gold IRA in the United States.  I also established the first Swiss franc denominated variable annuity portfolio through Pioneer funds in Boston.

       Today I have retired from the financial services business and I am doing what I enjoy most: skiing and living in the mountains where I market mountain resort properties to affluent investors. Still, I feel a duty and a responsibility to my friends, former clients, and other concerned Americans to write about the threats to our wealth, the dollar, and remaining liberties here in the United States.  Hence, this book reveals crucial financial steps that must be taken in order to protect the wealth of you and your family in this new century. 

       Although I am an investment expert, writer, and public speaker by profession, my true passion in addition to the markets has always been history and politics.  As a general rule resulting from my forty year study of history, I consider most government bureaucrats and politicians to be the problem rather than the solution today.  These are people who live off of private and productive sectors of society.  And while I believe little good can come from our existing government and its institutions, actually recent foreign policy and economic trends have motivated me to write this book.  I fear the future of my three daughters and what remains of their personal and economic freedoms thanks to the carelessness of my generation.  I'm concerned about the day when the fragile American dollar plunges, or the hour when all that we have worked so hard for is destroyed by the political reaction to a another terrorist attack.  To the many of you who know me from reading my previous books and speeches, and to the countless others who are former investment clients during my long career in the investment industry, I am mindful that many of you share my personal concerns and observations.

Breaking Every Sales & Marketing Rule in the Book

       Please note that I am breaking every rule of marketing and product sales with all of the links, research information to other websites and due diligence opportunities. Be aware that I've been successful at sales in the past and you know from every book, direct mail solicitation, website and e-mail you've read trying to get you to buy something how the promotion works. Outlandish claims, a sense of urgency to act immediately and a complete focus down to a specific action that may or may not benefit you but is guaranteed to benefits the sales operation.

       There is nothing wrong with this but The Swiss Preserve Solution is different because I'm not selling a product or service but rather trying to warn my friends and new readers of a series of threats that could impact your wealth and remaining liberties. Your wealth and liberty is threatened by our government, our politicians, the special interests controlling American foreign policy and domestic legislation at home and by the terrorist enemies of our nation. My reason for writing the book and structuring the internet version as I have is to enable you to get out of the crossfire and target area before you become a causality of a powerful economic and terrorist conflict that may sweep the world. Like all wars, it has little to do with religion, patriotism or defending our nation, home or families and is all about power, profits and the control and confiscation of wealth and property.

You Can Benefit From My Research

       While researching and writing The Swiss Preserve Solution, I not only discovered many new techniques and organizations, but I also met with numerous experts, both offshore and domestic, who provide added asset protection features and benefits to a select circle of high net worth investors around the world.  Although in the United States most of these investment techniques are restricted to accredited, wealthy investors, many of these programs that were developed for a transparent, non-private financial world can work for other investors with less assets or income.  For example, although we write about threats to our accumulated wealth and investment portfolios, the truth is that most Americans have a majority of their personal wealth in their own home and in other real estate investments.  I will also cover how to protect your real estate from foreign and domestic threats I see on the horizon.

Take Action Soon Before the Dollar Falls Even More and Economic Difficulties Begin!

       I believe the United States is heading toward a period severe economic difficulty, and that the dollar could collapse in value by 40% or more within the next five years.  Granted, when this happens the politicians and Wall Street moguls will blame everyone but themselves and you will probably see through their misinformation and propaganda, but by that point, who cares?  You will be far poorer, with family savings and retirement destroyed or at least severely weakened, and there will be nothing you can do about it.  That is why it is so critical to take action now before it is too late!

       This book and its recommendations are designed to help you anticipate and survive the economic hardships I foresee happening to our nation in the upcoming years.  By showing you how to preserve your protected wealth legally and pursue investment gains outside the American dollar, this book will ensure that your financial future is safeguarded.  I will also provide alternatives to our often corrupt legal system controlled by trial lawyers, and our political system ruled by special interest groups, that simultaneously threaten your retirement funds, other forms of personal wealth, and your remaining financial liberties. 

Who Should Read This Book?

       This book is designed for those of you in the private sector who need personal and financial security.  Many of you desire investment freedom and innovation, and have the spirit of self-reliance and confidence necessary to make your own decisions.  You seek to know and understand the world as it is, rather than blindly accepting the “dumbed down” news and financial “advice” doled out by Wall Street and the mass media.  Many of you also value personal success and traditional values like integrity and personal responsibility.  You despise the propaganda directives from selfish politicians, petty bureaucrats, and deceptive advertising that all seek to control the public by fleecing them out of their last dollar, curbing their right to make independent decisions, and removing personal responsibility from the populace.   

       For those of you who identify with those characteristics, you will be relieved to know that while this book is a guide for creating safe, private family wealth and building the opportunities for a richer life, this is not your everyday financial book.  Most books in this genre deal strictly with the numbers and formulas for prudent wealth planning.  However, this book provides an entirely fresh approach to wealth security through an exploration of economic history, global investing, and conventional politics. My goals in this book are ultimately to help you prepare against threats to your wealth and to help you take advantage of legal, fully disclosed investment opportunities and services that expand beyond the United States. I really do believe this is the best alternative to safeguard your assets and preserve freedom and liberty for future generations. The bottom line is the American Dream is still alive but our ability to live it is severely threatened today inside the United States and I fear these threats will get far worst before they get better.

 

It’s All About Priorities and Lifestyle
 

       My recommendations are simple and straightforward.  First, protect your existing wealth from domestic and international risks.  I have found that many affluent investors and high income professionals have particular wealth management and financial planning issues because they have so much that is threatened by market and currency risks, divorces, or simply faulty planning.  Hence, the first step to a secure and plentiful future is to correctly protect the wealth you have now from outside threats. 
 

       Next, seek to carefully expand your investment portfolio for your family and future generations through clear objectives, innovative strategies, and persistent performance.  This also includes educating yourself on the many financial services and strategies that exist outside of Wall Street and the United States.  Third, explore tax and estate options as you seek to legally minimize taxes and convey the maximum financial legacy to your heirs and preferred charities. 
 

       Finally, once you have your existing wealth protected and growing, I will show you how to enjoy a quality lifestyle of travel and top accommodations, real estate opportunities as well as other fun events and educational conferences.  The international lifestyle introduces you to the best tours, shopping, and cultural events available in Europe and North America.  Personally, I have found many of the financial and lifestyle solutions in a new international organization based in Switzerland called the Swiss Inner Circle. 

       I hope you will enjoy reading my new approach to restoring safe, protected wealth in post 9/11 America through global investing and international planning.  I also hope you discover the unique benefits of Switzerland's secure legal system, jurisdictional protections and confederation government. It is important to learn how we can benefit from the freedoms still enjoyed in Switzerland until the time we can restore limited responsible government and respected legal institutions back to the United States of America. This politically incorrect handbook is written to not only help you protect the wealth you have, but also to help insure the future of that wealth for your family and subsequent generations.  If you value financial freedom and economic success, this new approach to economic history, global investing, Wall Street, and protecting what is yours from market risks is exactly what you have been waiting for. 

"If we are wise," said he, "let us prepare for the worst." - George Washington

       I believe it is prudent for Americans to follow the wise counsel of George Washington and to prepare for the worst. Here in The Swiss Preserve Solution, I've attempted to outline in case studies and content the worst case scenarios concerning what could happen to our wealth and freedoms from the internal and external threats we face today. Of course, only some of these actions will take place and when, where and the severity are open to debate. If you properly diversify and protect your wealth, then you and your family will be worry free, safe, secure and ready for whatever happens in our new 21st Century.

Ron Fact, Book & Video Recommendations For This Page:
The point of the book is America is in imperial overreach internationally and militarily combined with a loss of civil liberties at home. This situation combined with an out of control legal system, scandalous lawsuits and the end of financial privacy increases the threats to our wealth. In addition our government and private debts including unfunded liabilities with Social Security are so massive that the dollar and our ability to get the rest of the world to continue to buy our government bonds will be compromised. These long term trends in conjunction with the growing terrorist threat to our financial markets threatens the economic future of every productive American. The simple solution is to diversify your wealth and real estate investments outside the United States and the best financial safe haven in the world is Switzerland. My Swiss Gnomes audio below read by Louis Rukeyser of Wall Street Week fame will tell you why I feel this way. - Ron Holland

The Dollar's Doomsday Scenario - www.forbes.com/2007/06/19/croesus-chronicles-china-oped-cz_rl_0620croesus.html?partner=links    From Forbes and we agree with them, there is little risk of China dumping U.S. Treasuries.

Swiss Gnomes - By Ronald Holland. A tape series narrated by Louis Rukeyser and written by Ronald Holland about the history of Swiss banking, financial privacy and Switzerland during World War II as well as a discussion of Swiss direct democracy and their unique form of limited, decentralized confederation government.

 

Mobs, Messiahs and Markets - By Bill Bonner and Lila Rajiva. I've known Bill for years and his books are always worth reading. They are right about not following the herd instinct of the masses and just buying the investment propaganda out of Wall Street. They show readers how to avoid what the authors call the ‘public spectacle’ of modern finance,  and become, instead, ‘private’ investors -  knowing their own mind and following their own intuitions.
