You’re likely in the top 10%.
A quick Google search defines that as making $140,000 per year or more.
But like everything in life, there are levels.
To be in the top 1%, you need to be pulling down nearly $800,000 annually. I’ve been a guest in this club but am not yet a full member.
And then there’s the 0.1%. People in this group make over $3 million dollars per year and, by some estimates, control nearly 15% of the total wealth in the country.
The government and the Federal reserve work for the 0.1%. So did Jeffrey Epstein.
It’s the 0.1% that have a well-known pedophile ring that raped thousands of kids. But they’ll call it a hoax while throwing the book at lower class pedophiles.
It’s the 0.1% that use inflation as a regressive tax on the rest of the people while it inflates the value of the assets they own.
And they exert their force and influence on the government to maintain the status quo, minimize their tax burden, and pass legislation that is beneficial to their interests.
The 0.1% doesn’t have political allegiances. They aren’t blue or red. They see in green.
My career has focussed on exposing these truths and showing you how to prosper despite and in spite of them. I did that first via a now defunct Outsider Club, which eschewed the tactics of this insider cabal in favor of a like-minded approach to wealth and policy.
And for the past six years I’ve been chronicling this Bizarro World for you in a podcast that bears that name.
No political allegiances. No pedophile rings. Just me and Gerardo — two guys who started with nothing and now frequent the 1% club — showing you how the system works and how to put it to work for yourself.
We have no agenda except improving the lives of ourselves, our families, and those who depend on us.
Investing in Bizarro World just published its 327th episode.
If you’ve never listened, this week is a great week to start.
We had on special guest Rudy Havenstein, a well-known financial and political commentator who self-describes as having two main issues:
- The military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned us about in 1961, and, related to that,
- The Big Bank crime wave and associated kleptocracy…
And we pulled back the curtain on how politicians, Wall Street, and the media keep that complex and crime wave going to their benefit.
I asked AI to pull out some of the best quotes from that discussion. Here’s what it came up with:
- “This was absolutely a CIA operation… Epstein was an asset of intelligence.”
- “They’re terrified of the truth coming out.”
- “Cindy McCain came out and said in 2020: ‘We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doing.’”
- “Trump said it’s a hoax and that you’re an idiot if you believe it. That’s spitting in your supporters’ face.”
- “Epstein had no real income — Les Wexner gave him his entire kingdom.”
- “Epstein was flying Larry Summers around, meeting Rothschilds, CIA directors, and the most powerful people in the world daily.”
- “The purpose of blackmail is not punishment — it’s control. They call up a judge or Congressman and say, ‘Support this bill, or we release the tape.’”
- “The media is complicit. CNBC had Larry Summers on and never asked about Epstein — even when he was visiting the island.”
- “There are 10,000 hours of tapes of kids being raped — and no one will touch it.”
- "The Fed picks winners and losers. It's a private bank cartel that Congress created in 1913 and abdicated their constitutional responsibility for monetary policy."
- "They’re going to screw the bottom 90% to save the top 10%, especially the top 0.01%."
- "The car goes up $10,000, but the BLS says it actually went down $1,000 because of hedonic adjustments. That’s gaslighting."
- "The CPI is a joke… cleaning supplies have a higher weighting than health insurance."
- "We've now been above the Fed's 2% target for 51 months using their make-believe numbers."

People really love it once they listen to it. Here’s a comment we got from listener Shawn G. on the last episode: “That was so enlightening Nick and Gerardo. Love it. Thank you for what you do.”
Enlightenment is easy if you find the right sources of information and approach them with an open mind.
