In last week’s show, I laid out the bizarre combination of happenings across the country and the world, and why there’s nothing coincidental about them.  

In his article, Global Planned Financial Tsunami Has Just Begun, strategic risk and political consultant, F. William Engdahl details what’s really going on and why. He talks about how Central Banks trigger financial collapses for political motives, and the moves they are making to achieve that right now. 

In this episode, we’ll go through his article together and I’ll discuss what it means for us financially.

With every news report that comes out, it seems like every area of our society is in crisis. Lake Powell and Lake Mead are experiencing historically low levels, a few days ago thousands of flights were canceled, and we’re now hearing about avian flu and cattle deaths. 

Pile onto that, the ongoing supply chain issues, the run on Chinese banks, and an economy edging toward recession - it’s clear that something’s not quite right and that it’s all connected.

In today’s episode, I’m going to talk about all the odd things that keep happening and how intertwined they all are.

Without a doubt, 2022 is going to be a sea change year on a global macroeconomic scale. Inflation, rate hikes, and the loss of the dollar’s reserve currency status are just some of the challenges we have to navigate and truthfully, even the most traditionally recession-proof sectors are going to be hit. 

In this volatile environment, what’s the safest location to park your money? Which asset class will get you through this period? 

In this episode, we’re going to go through the core asset classes, how each will fare in a potential black swan event, and the best moves you can make right now.

In a recent Twitter thread internet entrepreneur and political activist, KimDotcom laid out why the US is on the precipice of a huge financial and cultural shift (KimDotCom Twitter Thread). 

Many of the defining factors have been growing slowly beneath the surface, but will soon expand and become blatantly clear to every American. 

With the US government actions that have defined all our lives since 2020, we are now moving towards a new system - a terrifying, dystopian system that will change the way we live forever.

In this episode, I talk about these really prophetic sets of tweets that we all need to be paying attention to.

The World Health Assembly is planning to launch a process to amend the global health regulations, essentially handing over national sovereignty and authority to the WHO. 

This vote will come under the guise of our benefit, but it’s actually the end of autonomy as we know it and the beginning of technocratic control. If you think what’s happening with China’s zero covid policy will never happen here - think again!

Will this issue only affect healthcare? What is the ultimate purpose of these new regulations? In this episode, I will discuss upcoming national changes that we should all be paying attention to and preparing for.

One of the most alarming truths about America is how ill-prepared most people are for retirement. 

Besides the fact that we aren’t saving enough - there are also major systemic flaws in the way we build wealth for the future. 

A lot of our issues stem from a poor foundational understanding of how to manage and utilize our money. 

What are the 3 root causes of our $22 trillion retirement gap? In this episode, I’m going to talk about what’s wrong with America’s retirement practices, and how things can be done differently and better.

Following our recent episode on Elon Musk, we received a number of comments about his tax bill and the fact that he should be paying more. The real question we should be asking is whether this approach to taxation is fair to the entrepreneurs who maintain almost all of the financial risk? 

Between the state of California and the federal government, Elon Musk paid over 50% in taxes. Taxing the rich has always been viewed as the solution to our problems, but does it still make sense?

In this episode, I’m going to explore the question of Elon Musk’s tax bill, and why we need to rethink our “tax the rich” stance.

Since the recording of this episode, Elon Musk has decided to not join the Board. Rebecca views this as a more strategic move on Elon’s behalf as now he will not be limited to owning a maximum of 14.9% of outstanding Twitter shares and limited by acting as a fiduciary to the company which means he would be prohibited from sharing any proprietary information regarding Twitter’s algorithm.

This basically sets up Musk for a potential hostile takeover of Twitter where he doesn’t have to play by their rules.

The big news this week is Elon Musk’s announcement that he’s now Twitter’s single largest shareholder, but what does this mean for the platform and our public forum? 

What can we expect to happen at Twitter in the coming months? Will this help make Twitter more of a free speech platform? In this episode, we’re going to talk about the strategy behind Elon Musk’s Twitter moves.

Our short-sighted actions over the situation in Ukraine could have the unintended consequence of destabilizing the West and setting off a huge financial crisis. In trying to curtail Putin’s aggression, we might have just placed the US dollar in the most precarious state it has ever been in, with the markets sure to feel the effects.

The market’s already volatile, and this is even before we talk about the escalation into a possible regional war. How did the West’s response to Putin lead to more trouble? Can we expect any safe investment returns in 2022?

In this episode, I’m going to talk about the current state of the market, and what it means for our future.

War, inflation, pandemics, energy supply issues, and food shortages on their own are enough to destabilize any economy, but what happens when they all converge?  

As it stands, there are numerous globally unprecedented events taking place, creating market conditions we’ve never before encountered, and creating new challenges we have to address if we want to protect our wealth. 

What factors and circumstances are the most concerning? How is the geopolitical situation adding fuel to the fire? 

In this episode, we’re going to go over the 5 things happening in the world that are placing immense pressure on the US economy.
