One of the interesting characters in the Australian Freedom Movement is an Economist called John Adams. He has been calling out shenanigans for many years now, fighting the Cash Ban (successfully) and generally acting as a bit of a Public Crusader. He has excellent attention to detail for investigative stuff and lately he has been going after the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) which is supposed to investigate financial misconduct but appears to be (at best) incompetent or (at worst) utterly corrupt.

His crusade against ASIC has a lot of twists and turns over recent times, but it appears to be coming to a head and he expects that an ASIC Report Inquiry is going to lead to the Australian Senate calling for the abolition of ASIC. Big claims...but he’s been right more than not so I take his commentary seriously. He’s involved in these investigations, but is very astute legally so he is careful about what information he passes on. However, often he leaves bread crumbs or clues that can be followed.
Recently he has come out and shared that during Senate Estimates ASIC has confirmed an individual has submitted reports that (in his words) "specifically mention falsification of records of Bullion (Presumably Gold) held by an investment entity." with a further whistleblower saying they "helped the entity to dodge the audit completed by ASIC".
He goes on to advise that "if you currently invest in Gold, Platinum or Silver Bullion, to withdraw the Bullion from secure safes and hold it within your possession" which suggests that he expects something fairly big is about to go down with an investment entity here in Australia. Of course he can’t name the entity due to defamation laws in this country, but his warning is clear. If you don’t hold it you don’t own it! Some people in Australia might be about to learn that lesson the hard way.
I'm liking this Mr Adams.
He's from my home town and I've seen him speak live. He's definitely our kind of guy.
I’d never let any place that I don’t have the only access to hold my bullion. EVER
Not your keys, not your cheese — copy that mofo 👊🤩
Hmmm, where have we heard that line or a similar one to it before? Not your keys not your crypto holds true for precious metals as well!
Well, everybody who believes ETFs are a legit thing, also believes in Santa. This has already been pointed out for years by many "Gold Bugs", like Peter Schiff, Greg Mannarino, Mike Maloney and many other.
And not only in regard of bullion, all ETFs are basically the picture book model of pyramid scams. Still people keep falling for it.
Not your keys, not your crypto, silver, whatever...
Adams should be the activists for every Australian citizen😁😁
Yes, I saw Kochie and Mel interview him on Sunrise yesterday; then Kyle and Jacqui O had him on the radio during drive time.
