At 62 and 1/2 years old, I have done terrible, dirty work, been exposed to nasty chemicals of all kinds, lived hard, played harder, and am ridiculously healthy. There is lots of cancer in my Jewish family, but I have none. Now I will double down on the premises that have gotten me this far, and share them with you:
- Water – you are better off drinking tap water than filtered water in most places. Filtered water has no minerals in it, and minerals are essential to your health. The best water comes out of the ground, and has minerals in the right combinations in it. Pills are not the same. Everywhere where people routinely live to be over 100 years old, there is very good water.
- Eat meat, not grain – you are not a horse, you only have one stomach. If you look at healthy animals, they eat meat, mostly. If you look at fat, lumbering, slow, heavy animals, they eat grain. Eat meat and vegetables, very little sugar, not too much fruit (mostly sugar), no white flower, only sea salt (contains minerals in right amounts).
- If it had a mother, or grew in the ground, you can eat it -don’t eat processed foods, they are expensive, and are not food. They contain too many bad ingredients (sugar, salt, preservatives, even polymers). These unnatural foods mess up the balance of bio-agents in your stomach, so that even when you eat good food, you do not get nutrition. Soda drinks and Alcohol absolutely destroy your stomach chemistry.
- Do not be an addict. I have gotten away with smoking for half my life, but I am very sure that if I had done so the other half, I would already be dead. Don’t smoke cigarettes; don’t smoke anything daily, period. Don’t drink coffee every day in excess, a little black coffee is fine, but not as a habit, burns out your adrenal glands. Don’t use any drug that you can live without, period. Myself, I will finally be not-addicted to any of these this year; but even moderation will extend your life, enhance your health. The less addicted you are, the happier you will be.
- Exercise – most people do it wrong. You do not want to beat yourself to death, give yourself pain, or wear yourself out. However, even if you have a physical job, a regular, aerobic exercise routine puts you in control of your bodily functions, and maintains a proper metabolism, elimination and immune systems, and burns calories, reducing stress. I do a combination of Pilates, yoga, lots of leisure walking, and a Kung Fu Kata. I do not push myself, just two or three times per week unless I feel like more, just 20-40 minutes. The key is consistency, at least 2 or 3 times per week will make you stronger, faster, more agile. Whole body exercises are best.
- Do not attach yourself to money or possessions – you can have money, be ambitious, do whatever you love, but do not be attached – instead be yourself, at all costs, and let everything else be secondary. If you be yourself, who you are made to be, you will be happy and healthy, no matter what you have, make, or lose. If you own possessions or wealth, own it, do not let it own you. Ask yourself: if you die, who will own it then?
- Be in love, and of love. If you love people, a business, an activity, God, or even nature, you are making love flow through you. Love gives power, heals all woulds, re-empowers you beyond imagination. Love is the goal. Agape love is love of it all, even the people, even the hardships, the entire journey is a blessing that you can never deserve.
- Be humble. Humility IS youth. The young are humble, the old are proud. The humble are free and unencumbered, while the self important are rigid, defensive, and owned. These things really are your choices, if you choose to make choices. Choose life. Never stop learning and growing and challenging yourself to be a better version of you.
- Think good thoughts. If you constantly think about negative and stressful things, you age, even become ill. If you constantly fill your mind with good prayers and beliefs and outcomes, you manifest those outcomes, you become the embodiment of what you decide to think about.
- Know who you are and your place in the world. You are not God, and you are not an animal. You have a mind, a body, and a spirit. All of them live in the same space. Anything that affects one, affects, and infects, the whole. If you neglect and deny your soul, your goodness, then the ugliness will show in your body. If you pompously ignore the knowledge of the ages thinking that you have a better idea, you are not humble and not enlightened; instead you are self important, self absorbed, rapidly dying, and headed for a fall.
When mind, body, and soul are clean, humble, and in sync, health happens as a natural result.
Will worry add a single day to your life?
22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

My Past Predictions are now historical facts:
- Social Media has Trumped Mainstream Media
- Revolution has Manifest
- Donald Trump elected POTUS
- The People have awakened to Truth
- God has saved the USA just in time
So I was correct, again.
So now what happens in 2017?
- The influence of corporate media on public opinion is completely destroyed
- The US Economy booms under President Donald Trump
- US faith and hope is restored
- Isis is completely and utterly destroyed
- Haters and enemies of USA hate us even more
- Mass conversion continues of Muslims and atheists to Judao-Christain values
- Billions of dollars are re-repatriated from overseas
- Modern, green, sustainable communities replace outdated cities, towns, projects, even factories with adopted families – “tribes”
- A new Pro-american, pro-localism culture is born as a modern Meritocracy manifests abundance
- A world-wide revival occurs as science proves spirituality beyond a shadow of doubt
So what, exactly does this all mean?
It means that there has never, ever, in the history of the United States, been a better time to buy a business, invest in real estate, invest in the US, or immigrate to the US.
With strong borders, an new more tolerant culture for diverse groups including white males and alt-sexual types, trade policies that favor US companies and US goods, rebirth of the American dream in the USA, and much lower taxes on businesses, every single business segment will flourish, including new and independent media.
Are you thinking of starting, growing, or investing in a business in 2017?

by Israeli Rothman | Jul 1, 2016 | Business Planning
What follows is a full disclosure of who I really am, beginning many years ago, when I had my own broker-dealer in Albuquerque NM in 1985, without knowing that I needed the permission of the local Patron to do so:
This article was written in 2006:
Death of great potential: the Coracle story, told by the founder:
Ladies and Gentleman, it is with great sorrow, and the urgency to avoid having what happened to me, happen again, to you, that I share with you this compelling story of the huge potential of a start-up venture which almost achieved greatness in the last five years, and is now a complete loss: The story of Coracle Incorporated, formerly known as Oregonfreeads.com, and Ads for Free, Inc.
Oregonfreeads.com was formed as an Oregon corporation in 2001 in Springfield Oregon. My name is Israel Rothman, and I started the company to pursue an idea that my employer could not understand: a way to automate my job.
I had been in fleet and Internet sales for a local auto dealership for years, and had become proficient in achieving search engine placement for my employer.
As the Internet became more and more competitive, my job became harder and harder to do, requiring me to build mirror sites linked together and employ all sorts of tricks to achieve first page organic placement: my idea was to automate this process by giving away free ads and auctions; using the user input to do my work for me, and build link-popularity and submission activity which would cause the marketplace to move through the website: oregonfreeads.com. I had some rudimentary scripts written, and began selling sponsorships of categories to local businesses.
Within a year, we had over 50 companies stuck to the top of the search engines for their chosen words, and we realized that we could actually guarantee results for chosen key word searches. We decided to offer a money-back guarantee; we bought adsforfree.com for $800, and we went nationwide by way of a strategic alliance formed with Real Estate Magazine (RISMedia.com) which put us ‘on the map’ as a provider for the Real Estate Industry, which, at the time, was the only market really ready to understand such a product.
Believe it or not, people in those days would scoff at the idea that was even legal to do this, which now, as you know, is a multi-billion dollar industry just a few years later: where SEO (Search Engine Optimization) has blended with and become mainstream advertising.
It was a wonderful, fun company that everyone loved; we grew to over one million in sales by the fourth year, with over 500 customers all over the US that we kept on top of the search engines’ organic results.
Unfortunately, capitalized on only 110,000 in private placement money from the sale of company stock, we were grossly undercapitalized for such volume; and changes in the market required changes in our programming we needed to capitalize.
I found a group of real estate investors in the San Francisco area who offered to back us. It seemed like a good fit; they had deep pockets, and understood, we thought, what we had.
The unfortunate events of the last year are the result of that investment.
I certainly am not without blame; I was very tired after working very hard to get through the start up; the company had grown beyond my ability to manage it: there was infighting, and other impending problems; so it was mutually agreed by all that there would be a change and the new investors would participate in management. What happened next, although very common, was an absolute disaster, resulting in huge loss and business failure: please be mindful to avoid these mistakes: as it could happen to you, in your business, and it will, if you let it:
The beginning of the end:
Mistake number one: stop listening to the guy who knows the market and the product:
Immediately when the investors gained complete control they removed me from all activities; they stopped listening to me about what needed to be done on the back end (programming) and the sales effort, assuming that the programmer (whom I had given stock to during the start up) knew best about the programming, and that they (although they barely knew what SEO was) knew better how to market a company this size.
Mistake number two: change everything at the same time:
They changed the name of the company, changed the way of selling it, watered down the product description; all at the same time: they were so sure of themselves with all their money and ‘expertise’: they saw no need to be scientific about it.
Mistake number three: over-spending:
Indeed the company had huge potential, and they intended to invest a lot; but to move the company to Newport Beach, and add on over $30,000 per month in non-income producing executive salaries was a mistake so early in the process.
Mistake number four: listen to the Tech department over sales:
They were so sure that the multiple experiments they were conducting at the same time would work, they figured they did not need to worry about sales, and spent huge amounts of money on technology which, while it is very cool, did nothing to drive sales, and used up valuable capital.
Mistake number five: hire the wrong people:
They brought in a marketing director who was insulated from me (they were afraid I would tell him things they thought un-important) unfortunately, although the guy was qualified, he knew nothing about our fast moving, constantly changing marketplace: and the learning curve was extremely expensive.
Mistake number six: do not promote from within:
Massive housecleaning and turnover is common in these cases: but they actually brought in people who were not qualified, and installed them on salaries above people who were the backbone of the company: a top-down management style which caused a lot of in-fighting and jockeying for position; and all kinds of deceit from people trying to cover their own asses rather than do the right things.
Mistake number seven; when things are not working, ignore it and keep going:
Although they never hit any of their projections, and although all this had been predicted by yours truly in the only board meeting he was ever allowed to attend, they just ignored these discrepancies and stuck to the experimental plan: isolating me more when I protested.
Mistake number eight; when the business plan isn’t working; spend more!
Although we kept running out of money due to all these mistakes, they would not change course, and just kept loaning the company more and more, going deeper and deeper into debt: the almost debt free corporation one year ago, is now in debt over $600,000.
Mistake number nine; when things are bad, rip off the salespeople:
No longer able to explain the missed projections, unable to raise more money, the started changing the sales compensation plan trying to increase the margins: everybody knows what happens when you do that.
Mistake number ten; tell everybody that everything is ok, and keep going farther beyond the point of not return.
When they could not pay the employees, the made excuses, and kept digging.
If there is a moral to this familiar story of all the classic mistakes being made at the same time, it is this:
Stuff changes; in life, in business, in the marketplace: when things aren’t working, consider changing course; and when they are, be reverent and careful about changing anything, and do it carefully, slowly, scientifically.
I am a lifelong entrepreneur, and this goes with the territory; I am happy to be alive, living in America, and to have another chance ‘at bat’.
But I have lost everything again, and five years of hard work, and it could have been avoided; and it could happen to you, faster and easier than you ever imagined.

I have more business experience than anybody you know.
