In an earlier post I talked about Robert Kiyosaki’s new online book titled “Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money”. In this post I wanted to give you an update on the online book’s progress, and discuss some of the points brought up in the book.

Mr. Kiyosaki begins the book by discussing some of the previous actions in our relatively recent financial history that have had profound effects on what is currently happening worldwide…and how it effects each and every one of our ability’s to achieve Financial Freedom for ourselves.

Some of the events mentioned at the beginning of the book include:

• In 1913, the Federal Reserve was established (although the “Federal Reserve” is not Federal at all)
• In 1913, the 16th Amendment was “passed”…allowing the U.S. to tax all wage earners, and capitalize this so called Federal Reserve institution
• In 1971, President Richard Nixon took the U.S. money supply off the gold standard
• In 1974, the U.S. Congress passed the Employee Retirement Income Security Act…which lead to what is now known as 401K, IRA, and Keogh retirement plans

While all of the fore mentioned events happened in the United States of America, a simple review of history for most other countries will reveal similar events occurring around the same time frame in each respective country.

I applaud Robert Kiyosaki for revealing these events to his readers, and providing some important information concerning the impact of these events. In truth, Mr. Kiyosaki went pretty easy on how these events transpired and why. The truth is that all of these events were basically implemented for the benefit of the Powers-That-Be…and not really for the average person. With that said, there is much more I could say about these “conspiracies”…but instead, for the sake of staying on topic… I recommend you begin your own research into those events if you desire more information.

In the first 5 chapters, the “Conspiracy of the Rich” outlines both current and past events that have shaped the financial situation everyone is in right now. This was very important in our overall understanding of why we are where we are…and how we can learn to “play the game” to insure our own financial security. One other important point discussed in the book…is the lack of financial education currently being taught in most school systems today. (I will talk more about this important point in future post)

The online book is currently at chapter 9…and Mr. Kiyosaki has been going into detail in chapters 6-9 on how we can apply the “Rules of the Rich” for our own advantage. Some important points brought up are that the stock market may not be the outstanding investment vehicle touted by so called “experts”, and what we really need to concentrate on…is our ability to create something of value for multiple people instead.

In conclusion to this post, I would just like to say that I really applaud Robert Kiyosaki for coming out with the “Conspiracy of the Rich”…and I hope everyone reading this post will check out this free online book.

With that said, I would also like to add my own “two cents worth” concerning the book and it’s message. It is really true that a majority of the world population has been manipulated and controlled through corrupt monetary policies. (and it’s only going to get worse in my opinion) Mr. Kiyosaki’s solution thus far is for everyone to learn how to “play the game” of the rich. In today’s financial reality, that is probably the best plan out there…but perhaps there are even better ways to solve the world’s financial crisis.

I feel that as we pursue our own Financial Freedom, we should look for ways to benefit everyone. Truth is, we are all on this planet together…and all actions eventually effect everyone else in one way or another. I plan to discuss these final points just brought up in future post…and as always, may you achieve all your dreams and desires.
