This analysis continues a series of long-form investigations published in The Merrick Spitters Reset Report™
We need your help. Please share this article. The message inside is being censored… but with your action, it can still reach those who need to hear it most.
The world feels disconnected… like everyone is lost in their own feed, their own algorithm, their own bubble. But the truth is, we are more connected than ever. We always have been.
The idea of Six Degrees of Separation goes back to the 1920s, but it was popularized by a sociology experiment in the 1960s. The premise is simple… any person on Earth can be connected to any other through a chain of just six human connections.
It might sound far-fetched, but modern studies have confirmed it again and again. We are only a few introductions away from anyone on the planet. This means your voice… your influence… your message… can travel farther and faster than you think.
But it goes deeper than that.
Research from Harvard and UC San Diego introduced something even more powerful — Three Degrees of Influence. This theory shows that your behavior and decisions influence not just your friends… but also your friends’ friends… and even their friends as well.
That means your choices ripple out three layers deep. What you read… what you share… what you talk about… it reaches further than you see.
And that is exactly how we can break through the censorship trying to silence the message inside It Starts With Gold.
This book is not just about money. It is a warning. A blueprint. A wake-up call.
Adrian C. Spitters and I wrote It Starts With Gold to expose the truth — about the collapsing fiat currency system… the engineered failure of the global economy… and the rise of a digital prison disguised as financial innovation.
We pull back the curtain on the cryptocurrency trap — how over $3 trillion has already been funneled into digital tokens that can be frozen, erased, or redirected with the flip of a switch. Millions of individuals, trying to opt out of the system, are unknowingly being led into a tighter one… a softer cage… one that is programmable and fully controlled.
At the same time, lurking beneath the surface is the unregulated derivatives market, holding over $4 quadrillion in exposure. This is the largest financial bubble in human history — and when it bursts, it will not just destroy wealth… it is intended to enslave all of humanity.
These two ticking time bombs — the crypto trap and the derivatives detonation — are primed to ignite what we call The Great Financial Confiscation. A global reset where you will own nothing… and they will own everything… your property… your freedom… your ability to transact… even your DNA.
And yet… the message is being censored.
Amazon’s algorithm is actively suppressing the book. Reviews are being blocked. Visibility is being buried. But truth has a way of leaking through the cracks.
Even though it is being censored by the algorithm, the message is getting out. The book has already been downloaded thousands of times across various platforms. That is the power of truth… and the power of individuals like you who refuse to stay silent.
To bypass the gatekeepers, we made It Starts With Gold available under a Free-Use Distribution License — so it can be shared, forwarded, and distributed freely in its original form.
You do not need a platform. You do not need permission.
You just need to take action.
Here is how we turn six degrees of separation into a global wake-up call:
-
-
- Get your Kindle copy for $3.99 https://mybook.to/GOLD
- Read it and talk about it… start conversations… ask hard questions
- Share it with three people you trust… and ask them to do the same
- Repeat the process… let the influence ripple outward
- Spread the message before the system collapses on those you love
-
This is how we outsmart the censors. This is how we break the blackout. This is how we warn others while there is still time to prepare.
The financial industrial complex is collapsing. The reset is real. But the window is still open.
Six connections is all it takes. Three layers is all you need.
Do not wait. Do not hesitate.
It Starts With You!

Her attempt to silence the image ignited global attention. That explosive backlash became known as the Streisand Effect… when censorship becomes the gasoline that sets the truth ablaze.
And it is not just a historical footnote. It is happening again and again in real time.
When WikiLeaks released classified footage of a U.S. military strike in Iraq, the government scrambled to suppress it. Instead, the video spread globally, awakening millions.
When Canada froze the bank accounts of truckers protesting COVID mandates, the regime tried to frame it as national security. What happened instead? The world discovered how fragile their financial freedom truly was, and Bitcoin donations poured in from every corner of the planet.
When Dr. Robert Malone, one of the original creators of mRNA technology, dared to speak critically of the COVID response, his accounts were censored and de-platformed. And yet his message reached more people after the ban than it ever had before.
The Streisand Effect is not just real; it is a weapon. A gift. A signal that the truth is too dangerous to ignore.
And now it is happening to our book — It Starts With Gold.
The book was quietly launched… and then aggressively suppressed. In the first few days, hundreds of Kindle copies were downloaded on Amazon. Then came the digital chokehold. Readers began reaching out. More than a dozen told me they tried to leave honest reviews… every one of them was blocked.
No explanation. No warnings. Just censorship in stealth mode.
The book exposes how central banks orchestrate collapse to consolidate power. It shows how fiat currency is designed to fail. It reveals how cryptocurrencies, once symbols of freedom, are now being weaponized into a velvet trap, a soft leash leading directly to CBDCs and digital enslavement.
And it names what is coming next… The Great Financial Confiscation. A sweeping transition where you will own nothing and they will own everything: your money, your movement, even your DNA.
That is why they are trying to erase it.
But history shows us… Censorship backfires. Always. And now it is our turn to weaponize the Streisand Effect.
Amazon’s algorithm is built to suffocate inconvenient truths. It blocks reviews, buries exposure, and chokes momentum. The only way to override it is with massive, coordinated human action.
Here is how you can help override the censorship and detonate the algorithm:
- Go to the link that will lead you directly to the Amazon page: https://mybook.to/GOLD
- Download your Kindle copy… we have strategically priced it at just $0.99 so anyone can take a stand against censorship and reclaim their voice.
- Leave a review. Even a single sentence is a blow to the system.
- If your review is blocked, speak up… share your experience… post about it… Wake others up
- Spread the link like wildfire. Text it… post it… email it… hand it out… talk about it
Every download increases the pressure. Every review chips away at the wall. Every share is a hammer blow against the algorithm built to keep you silent.
We knew they would come for this book. That is why It Starts With Gold was released under a Free-Use Distribution License because its message is too vital to be locked down. You are free to share it in its original form… as widely as possible.
The control system was unmasked in March 2020. It exposed itself fully. And if you were watching with clear eyes and a thinking mind, you saw it for what it was — a power grab cloaked in public safety.
Now is not the time to look away. Now is the time to push forward.
This is not just about a book. This is a turning point. A test. A chance to resist.
When they try to bury the truth, we do not back down; we amplify it.
Let their censorship become your reason to speak louder. Let their silence become your spark.
