Trump Shock

To Save Us All, Is He Deliberately
Crashing the Stock Market?

Inside: The simple step to take NOW to help protect your retirement

Is President Trump deliberately destroying the U.S. economy?

Absolutely.

And it’s genius.

Look at this…

Stock market chaos.

Tariffs on.

Tariffs off.

Crypto circling the drain.

Investors panicking.

Maximum fear.

The media is raving and drooling…

All while missing one thing:

It’s a plan.

And the evidence I now hold shows…

President Trump had no choice.

In a moment, you’ll be one of very few Americans…

Who has seen what I now believe is…

Trump’s 3-stage “Shock Plan” for yourself.

But, there’s no easy way to say it…

Things will get worse before they get better.

And if you have money in the market…

A retirement account…

Or hold any crypto…

We aren’t even close to the bottom yet.

You may even lose much of what you now have.

That’s why you’ll also see…

One simple step you can do today…

To help protect your wealth and retirement savings…

Before time runs out.

My name is Jim Rickards.

I’ve been an advisor to the CIA, the Pentagon, and several Presidents.

I’m also a former hedge fund manager…

And author of 7 national best-selling books on finance and the global economy.

I sent you this short message today…

Because I hold special insight into a national crisis…

That could destroy the retirement savings of millions of Americans…

By the end of the year.

You’re about to view my private evidence for why I am now convinced…

President Trump is tanking the stock market… Deliberately.

I’m calling his plan…

The Trump Shock

And when you see my evidence here…

I know you’ll agree…

It’s playing out in plain sight.

If the media had half a brain between them, they’d realize…

He’s admitted to most of it.

You’ll also see why, because of a staggering …

$9 TRILLION timebomb left by Crooked Joe Biden

The Trump Shock is a smart and necessary move.

Finally, you’ll witness this unfortunate truth:

We are nowhere near the bottom of this crisis.

In fact, we’re only in Stage 1.

In a moment…

You’ll see all 3 stages of the “Trump Shock” plan…

So you know what to expect over the coming months.

You’ll also see how our President was left with no other option…

Thanks to a $9 trillion ticking bomb he inherited.

The media has ignored Biden’s incompetence and corruption…

But I’m not one to pull any punches.

Then, you’ll see how long the coming crisis will last…

And how much personal pain you can expect. 

Then, finally and most importantly…

I’m going to show you one simple strategy I’m doing myself…

To secure my own wealth through this storm.

I predict, thanks to certain little-known investments…

While many Americans see their money disappear…

My money will be secure.

In fact, I expect to see my wealth increase.

Before the Shock gets worse…

You may want to do the exact same thing to secure your own wealth.

It’s up to you.

Now, I should tell you…

The kind of private predictions you’re getting here…

Are normally reserved for my subscribers.

And they pay well for my insights.

Why did I send you this for free today?

I believe it’s what President Trump would want.

The Trump Shock goes against many of our President’s own principles…

I’ll show you that too…

And I know he would want good Americans…

To sidestep the pain that’s coming.

I’m going to be straight with you.

I can't promise you’ll emerge from the coming crisis completely unharmed.

But I can just about guarantee

You'll be a lot better off than those who don’t take this simple step.

Plus, I believe…

By using the information you’ll get here…

You will potentially increase your own personal wealth…

Even during a time when most others will suffer.

Not only that…

You will soon hold knowledge very few Americans have.

Unlike your neighbors, the mainstream press, or almost anyone else…

You will now know what I predict President Trump is really doing…

Why he has no choice…

And exactly what to do to help protect or even increase your wealth.

But I must insist…

Please share what you’ll see here with only those citizens you trust most.

And, of course, you can choose not to believe me about any of this.

That’s your right.

But I suggest you at least view the evidence you’ll see now…

You’ll see why I believe Trump’s 3-stage Shock Plan…

Includes tanking the U.S. stock market…

And driving us into a recession…

Deliberately.

Then you’ll see a simple strategy…

To help shield your money during the coming storm…

And how you could emerge not just secure…

But potentially wealthier than you ever have been.

Because, trust me…

You do not want to be on the wrong side of the Trump Shock

It’s going to be a bad one.

I see President Trump taking a very tough path to solve a very tough problem.

As you’ll see…

Every previous president – Democrat and Republican

Punted the problem down the road.

And almost every member of Congress…

Has simply pretended it doesn’t exist.

Why? 

Because they’re all afraid of the political blowback.

Trump took a bullet for our country.

You think he’s nervous about some bad press?

However, it needs to be said…

While I believe the “Trump Shock” is vital for America’s long-term security…

Our President is doing it at great personal cost.

Both his reputation and wealth are taking a hit.

And it will likely get worse as the crisis deepens.

But President Trump promised he’d make America great again.

And I know he’ll deliver.

Even if the medicine will be tough to swallow.

Fortunately, you found this presentation today.

In a moment…

You will be prepared to not just weather the coming storm… But come out the other side stronger, smarter… And potentially wealthier than before.

Let’s get into it right now…

My name, again, is Jim Rickards

As I mentioned…

I’m a former advisor to the White House, Congress, the CIA, the Pentagon, and the Department of Defense.

I’m also an attorney, investment banker…

And author of seven national best-selling books on global finance and economic policy.

I hold Master’s Degrees in both International Economics and Taxation.

Places like Fox, CNBC, and Bloomberg look to me for my insights on the world economy.

Jim Rickards on various news shows

The Nixon administration called me in to help craft the Petrodollar Accord with Saudi Arabia.

Then, I helped end the Iranian Hostage Crisis for the Reagan administration.

My work has taken me inside the private West Wing of the White House.

I’ve attended strategic sessions in the “Vaults”…

The secure meeting rooms deep inside the Pentagon.

Here’s a photo of me there. (This is all I’m allowed to show you of the inside.)

Jim Rickards inside the Pentagon

I even hosted the first ever financial war games for the Pentagon.

I’ve been inside the CIA Directors’ secure conference room on the seventh floor of Langley headquarters.

Jim Rickards at the CIA

I’m also a regular on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast…

And count many of Trump’s advisors and allies as my close friends…

Thanks to my background…

When it comes to politics and our economy…

I have unique access to the players, and…

I know the game better than almost anyone.

That’s why…

Despite 99% of polls saying the exact opposite…

I stood outside Trump Tower a few days before the 2016 election…

And predicted Donald Trump would be our next president.

I was right then.

And I was right again in 2024.

I called Biden’s withdrawal 6 months before it happened

I also predicted Trump’s win.

And even called the exact final electoral college tally.

But, make no mistake…

I’m no politician.

And I don’t work for the media.

I don’t need anyone’s money…

So I can’t be bought and sold like all the talking heads out there.

I work for one of the largest and last…

Fully independent American publishing firms.

That means I am free to say what others won’t.

And if it means I take some personal risk, so be it.

Because, just like you…

I’m a proud American patriot

And the controversial predictions and evidence you’ll see here today…

Are based on my independent research…

Insights from the intelligence community...

And my personal contacts inside Trump’s inner circle.

But, just in case you’re skeptical that I have connections to President Trump…

Check this out…

People who follow me know…

I’ve been calling Biden and AOC’s idiotic “Green New Deal”...

The “Green New SCAM” since they introduced it back in 2019…

I’ve used the more accurate “Green New SCAM” phrase…

Both publicly and behind closed doors hundreds of times.

 

Now watch this clip…

 

12/16/23

From my mouth to his ears?

Well, I can’t know for sure, but I do know this:

I count President Trump’s inner circle among my friends, colleagues, and like-minded patriots.

Which is why I believe…

Our President is tanking the stock market…

And causing the first major U.S. recession in 15 years….

On purpose.

And I know why he’s doing it.

Crooked Joe Biden left him an estimated $9 TRILLION ticking timebomb.

That threatens to take down our economy, the dollar…

And even our entire American way of life.

That’s not hyperbole…

And you’ll see everything now.

As you likely know…

Our nation’s debt reached $36 trillion during the disastrous Biden presidency.

But did you know that $13 trillion of new debt was added in just the past 5 years?

It gets worse.

You see, in 2023, about a year before the election…

When Biden was still planning to run…

His Treasury sold a shockingly high amount of short-term debt.

I won’t bore you with the specifics…

But all this new cash gave Biden’s economy what was effectively a “sugar high.”

That way, his teetering economy would look strong entering campaign season.

Well, we know how Biden’s re-election plans turned out.

But the “sugar high” he gave the economy had disastrous consequences.

Because after a high comes the crash.

The bill is now coming due on all this short-term debt.

Look at this chart…

Government Debt Distribution by year

See that 2025 bar…

The one standing way above all the others?

That’s the nasty little present Crooked Joe dropped on President Trump…

And every single American citizen.

Because that’s the amount of debt coming due THIS YEAR.

It’s about $9 TRILLION.

And it’s now a $9 trillion ticking timebomb in the economy, because…

We can’t pay it.

Now, when the government can’t pay the debt that’s due…

It “refinances” that debt by taking on more debt – with interest

It’s like someone who has maxed out their credit cards…

Opening more and more credit cards to pay off the old ones.

Until, eventually…

All they’re paying is the interest on their debt.

Which is where we are now.

The last time we actually paid off our entire national debt was in 1835…

Almost 2 centuries ago.

The last time we paid off ANY debt at all – and it was only a little…

Was in 2001, a quarter century ago.

Of course, the debt in 2001 was about $5.8 trillion…

Which is a huge number, but…

It’s more than 5X that much now.

And we add about $5 BILLION MORE to our debt…

Every day.

But like that person with out-of-control credit card debt…

All we pay back is the interest.

But…

That interest is a huge problem.

Our government spends more on debt interest…

Than on our nation’s defense…

Medicare…

Medicaid…

Or any other government program other than Social Security.

Again, that’s simply paying the INTEREST on our debt.

And thanks to Bidenflation…

The cost of that interest is now a catastrophe.

It went from $352 billion annually in 2021…

To $881 billion last year.

And it will be over $1 TRILLION in 2026.

That’s almost 200% increase in just 5 years…

Due in large part to Biden’s incompetence and corruption.

In 2024, the Biden government brought in $4.92 trillion.

And it spent $6.75 trillion.

If it were a business, it would be bankrupt.

As Elon Musk said in an interview with Fox Business:

“That was the real wake-up call for me, seeing the interest payments on the national debt exceeded the Defense Department budget.”

“If we don’t do something, there won’t be any money for anything. We’ll just be servicing debt.”

Now…

The bill for Biden’s incompetence is due.

That means it now needs to be paid back.

Trump is faced with approximately $9 TRILLION of debt “maturing” in 2025 – and we can’t pay.

But, of course, defaulting on our debt is not an option.

It would crush our economy…

Destroy the dollar…

And radically change our way of life.

Biden’s $9 trillion “debt bomb” is due by the end of 2025.

Now, any other President would simply “refinance” that debt…

By taking out more debt.

That’s what every President – Democrat and Republican – has done in the past.

And Congress simply rolls over and takes it.

Ever heard of the “debt ceiling”?

That’s the “maximum amount” of debt the Treasury is theoretically allowed to take on.

But every time we hit the debt ceiling…

Congress simply raises it again.

They’re all afraid of making the tough decisions necessary to get our dangerous debt spiral under control.

But I believe President Trump isn’t afraid.

After all, he may be the best political mind in modern history…

But he’s not a politician.

He’s a businessman.

There’s no way he’s going to “refinance” that $9 trillion at today’s rates.

Which are now 5X HIGHER than before Biden.

I’m serious.

Bidenflation pushed interest rates to their highest levels in a generation.

In January 2025, the average interest rate on the total marketable national debt was 3.35%.

That’s more than DOUBLE the average interest rate paid in 2020…

US Debt Interest Rate since 2021

During Trump’s first term in the White house.

But the rates we’re now paying on long-term debt are even worse…

They’re more like 4.5%.

That’s 5X MORE than they were in 2020.

US Long-Term Debt Interest Rate since 2020

This is the mess Biden left for Trump to clean up.

An estimated $9 trillion in debt due this year.

Double the average interest rates on our debt.

And 5X higher long-term interest rates.

There is no way President Trump is going to pay it back…

By taking on another $9 trillion of debt at today’s Bidenflation interest rates.

It could send our nation into what’s called a death spiral… When we can’t even pay the interest on our debt.

You don’t have to take my word for it.

Those in the know see it coming…

And soon.

Ray Dalio, the founder of hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, said,

“I can’t tell you exactly when it’ll come, it’s like the heart attack.”

“We’re getting closer (to a debt death spiral). My guess would be three years, give or take a year.”

Wharton Business School finance professor Joao Gomes predicts it could happen in 2025…

And Nassim Taleb, the author, options trader and risk expert, says we’re already there…

“As long as you have Congress keep extending the debt limit and doing deals because they’re afraid of the consequences of doing the right thing, eventually you’re going to have a debt spiral.”

“And a debt spiral is like a death spiral."

Ok, so we need to refinance $9 trillion in debt this year…

But we also need lower rates to do it.

So how do you get those rates down?

That’s the no-win situation Trump inherited from Crooked Joe.

You either refinance all that debt at today’s disastrous Bidenflation rates…

Potentially sending the U.S. into a debt death spiral…

Or…

You slow down the economy.

Way, way down.

So rates fall naturally.

Then, you stop new debt by eliminating the deficit.

You do that by slashing wasteful government spending.

And, finally, once rates are under control…

You reignite the economy for maximum growth

So that we “grow our way” out of the debt crisis.

And,

That’s exactly what I think Trump’s Shock Plan is.

Stage 1: Create maximum chaos

So that the stock market tanks and the economy slows to a crawl.

Stage 2: Kill the deficit

By slashing federal spending.

Stage 3: Reignite the economy

Use deregulation and business-friendly policies to get the market roaring again.

Let me give a little more context on each stage…

So you’ll understand exactly what I see coming over the next 12-24 months.

Right now, we’re just in the early days of Stage 1.

In Stage 1, I believe President Trump needs to slow the economy to get interest rates down…

To refinance approximately $9 trillion in debt that’s coming due.

To do that, it takes a very difficult call…

Stage 1: Tank the stock market.

That will do two things.

One, as stocks fall, investors will flock to Treasury bonds as a safe haven for their money.

That lowers how much our debt costs the government.

A bear market slows the economy.

And that means the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates…

To encourage businesses to borrow money to hire and invest in growth.

Trump has a brilliant business mind.

He knows all this.

And this part of the Trump Shock Plan is already working.

The interest rates on Treasury notes have started to fall…

As nervous investors begin to flee the stock market.

But maybe you’re wondering…

If he really is doing this on purpose…

Why Trump doesn’t just announce his plan?

Let Americans know he has it all under control?

Simple.

He can’t.

If the President announces his administration is tanking the U.S. stock market on purpose…

There will be a sell-off that makes Black Monday look like a minor blip.

The entire market would crater…

I’m talking about a full market crash.

Which could take a very long time to correct itself.

Instead, our President is doing a perfect balancing act.

He’s sowing enough chaos and uncertainty to send the markets tumbling…

And, instead, get investors buying up U.S. debt.

But he’s stopping short of anything that might trigger a major crash.

What looks haphazard to the uneducated… Is a masterclass in restrained chaos.

But even if he can’t announce his full plan…

He’s not making any secret of it.

Everything is playing out in plain sight.

What did Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Treasury, announce just weeks after Trump was sworn in?

“The president wants lower rates,” Bessent said in an interview with Fox Business.

“He and I are focused on the 10-year Treasury and what is the (interest rate).”

There you have it.

He’s saying the immediate economic focus is on lowering our debt burden.

Then Bessent went on CNBC to reveal more of Trump’s plan…

“Look, there's going to be a natural adjustment as we move away from public spending to private spending,” Bessent said.

“The market and the economy have…become addicted to this government spending, and there’s going to be a detox period.”

But maybe the clearest sign of what I believe our President is doing comes from understanding his principles…

And how he’s being forced to abandon them for the good of our nation.

During his first term in office…

Trump was almost obsessed with the stock market.

He used it as a gauge of his own performance.

In fact, in his first term, he tweeted about the market 156 times…

Including 60 mentions in his first year alone.

But going all the way back to the 2024 election…

How many times has President Trump mentioned the market on social media?

Once

Jason Draho, head of asset allocation for UBS Global Wealth Management, said…

The best indicator of the new administration’s focus on the crushing cost of our nation’s debt…

“Is that Trump himself has tweeted very little about stock market performance, instead posting more often about the debt ceiling and government spending.”

Here’s how I see the rest of Trump’s Shock Plan playing out…

As Stage 1 defuses Biden’s almost $9 trillion debt bomb…

Stage 2 – slashing government spending – is already underway.

As you know, our government spends far more money than it takes in.

And if this spending isn’t curbed…

Our debt will continue to grow out of control.

At the end of Biden’s disastrous administration…

The national debt was predicted to explode to $52 TRILLION within a decade.

That can’t happen.

It could literally be the end of the America we know.

We must cut our wasteful spending or face collapse.

President Trump turned to the best possible person for the job.

Elon Musk.

You see, asking Musk to slash government overspending…

Wasn’t any kind of political favor.

This is simply what Musk does best.

At Tesla, Musk overhauled their entire manufacturing process…

He streamlined operations…

Reduced supply chain costs…

Allowing them to lower prices…

And increase profitability.

Then he purchased Twitter.

And did it again.

He slashed bloated staffing…

Reduced costs…

And increased efficiency…

While maintaining the core functionality of the product.

Now, with DOGE…

Musk has taken that same scalpel to our bloated federal bureaucracy.

Some grumble about his ruthless approach, but…

No one can deny the effectiveness.

He’s made no secret of his goal…

To slash the federal deficit by $1 trillion.

Just the interest on the national debt now exceeds the Defense Department spending," Musk said in a meeting with Trump’s Cabinet.

We're spending $1 trillion on interest. If this continues, the country will go… bankrupt. That's the reason I’m here.

And taking a lot of flack, and getting a lot of death threats, by the way.

But if we don't do this, America will go bankrupt,” Musk continued.

That's why it has to be done. I’m confident at this point… we can actually find $1 trillion in savings.

That’s Stage 2 of what I’m calling the “Trump Shock Plan.”

Like Stage 1, it’s early days yet.

I think we’ll see both stages last at least through the end of 2025.

Which brings us to…

Stage 3: Reignite the economy to usher in a golden age for America

Because, of course, cutting costs is one way to reduce the deficit…

And address our spiraling debt.

The other way is to increase the amount of money the government takes in.

Which brings us to the final stage of what I believe is Trump’s plan…

Stage 3 will be to get the economy firing on all cylinders WITHOUT increasing inflation…

Through his stated plans for deregulation…

Reviving American manufacturing…

Tax cuts…

Increased U.S. energy production…

And targeted tariffs to create fair trade with other countries.

I believe, after this difficult period ends…

Trump will ignite the U.S. economy.

His policies will foster a boom that will increase government revenues.

And, combined with less wasteful spending…

Allow Americans to enjoy a golden age of prosperity…

While we pay down our debt at the same time.

It’s like this…

Trump is knocking down a house of cards…

To build a fortress in its place.

I believe the Trump Shock will cement our President’s legacy forever.

And every American – even the ingrates who question him

Will benefit when we enter Stage 3.

For the near future, however…

We’re in for a very rough ride.

I predict, for the next 12-24 months…

If you have money in the market, cryptocurrencies, or a retirement account… You could lose much of what you have now.

Again, the President and his team have been clear about the temporary pain.

Even before the election, Elon Musk told voters…

left quote

We have to reduce spending to live within our means. And, you know, that necessarily involves some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity.

Elon Musk

right quote

Back in November, an X user posted that…

Spending cuts would cause a “severe overreaction in the economy” and that “markets will tumble”…

Before the U.S. emerges on “sounder footing.”

Musk responded, “Sounds about right.”

Again, this was all before the election.

They never hid the tough road ahead.

In March, Senator Tommy Tuberville told Fox Business Network…

President Trump has told people there’s going to be a little bit of pain with this. The stock market’s gone up and down before. It’ll come back.

Senator Tommy Tuberville on Fox Business Network

right quote

President Trump has always been transparent about what’s happening.

left quote

I’m not even looking at the market, because long term, the United States will be very strong with what’s happening here

President Trump at the White House in March

right quote

And of course, clear as day…

left quote

WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!) BUT WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AND IT WILL ALL BE WORTH THE PRICE THAT MUST BE PAID.

President Trump in a social media post

right quote

I mean, heck, he wrote the whole thing in capital letters…

He couldn’t make it clearer…

How all those so-called experts in the media missed it, I will never know.

But, unfortunately, you can’t avoid the first part of what he wrote…

Which is tied directly to Stage 1 of what I’m calling the Trump Shock Plan.

Will there be pain?

Yes.

It’s unavoidable.

And it’s coming now.

The Trump Shock will be an ice-bath for the economy.

I see the stock market falling below correction territory… And staying there consistently through this year.

Yes, there will be small recoveries…

It will bounce up and down a bit, as always.

But don’t be fooled.

Getting our nation back on firm economic footing is going to take a while.

I think it’s likely we’ll be in and out of recession territory for up to 24 months.

They’ll call it the Trump Slump, the Trump Tank…

Or the Trump Dump as people run from stocks.

And they’ll try to say our President is failing.

Don’t listen to them.

I believe what President Trump is doing is both brave and necessary.

He’s solving a $9 trillion disaster inherited from Biden.

But there’s no denying the storm clouds are gathering.

And this storm is going to be a monster.

If you have money in the market…

Or a retirement plan…

You could lose a significant amount of your wealth.

That’s why I’m speaking to you today.

As I told you earlier…

I count Trump’s inner circle as some of my closest friends and colleagues…

I worked at the highest levels of Wall Street and international finance for 40 years.

I hold two Master’s Degrees…

One in International Economics and another in Taxation.

I got my law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

I held senior positions at Citibank, Caxton Associates, and the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management.

Because of my experience and connections…

I’ve been inside the West Wing of the White House…

Inside private meetings with Congress…

Inside the Pentagon’s “Vaults”…

Inside the CIA Director’s secure conference room…

Inside the U.S. Treasury…

Inside the Federal Reserve…

And while I came from a humble background…

I’ve made myself into a very wealthy man.

I don’t say any of this to brag.

But my experience and connections give me a unique insight into the coming storm…

And when it comes to showing you how to help protect your wealth during the Trump Shock… You want someone with my credentials.

Don’t trust anyone with less.

The next year will bring pain for many Americans.

But…

You can still help protect yourself, your family, and your wealth.

Just like I have.

However…

You must act now.

There’s almost no time left.

I believe the Trump Shock Plan is playing out in real time.

We’re early in Stage 1…

But, unfortunately, the market bottom has a long way to go.

I predict within weeks…

Months at the most…

The economy will slow to a crawl…

And the market will crater.

When that happens…

If you don’t know exactly what to do…

Much of your wealth could be lost.

That’s why I’ve created something you won’t find anywhere else on earth.

There have been thousands of fiat currencies (or “paper money”).

And as far as I can tell…

100% of fiat currencies have eventually lost ALL value.

But gold?

Gold is real, tangible wealth.

That has been accepted as currency for more than 5,000 years.

While paper currencies and cryptos rise and collapse…

Gold stands alone.

An island of security in an unstable world. 

And with the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. economy…

It’s no surprise central banks worldwide are now hoarding gold.

Global governments bought almost 5,000 tons of gold last year alone…

And owning gold is not just about security…

Gold has always increased in value over time.

I know one thing.

In times like these… I’d rather put my faith in 5,000 years of human history with gold.

That’s why the second guide in your Shock Survival plan is called …

The Perfect Physical Gold Portfolio

Report: The Perfect Physical Gold Portfolio

Your new guide answers everything you need to know about gold, including…

Is gold safe to invest in?

How much should I invest in precious metals?

What kind of precious metals should I buy and in what quantities?

Which kinds of metals should I avoid?

Where are the best places to buy gold (and other precious metals)?

And what are the best — and safest — ways to store them to avoid theft or government confiscation?

In just a few minutes from now…

You’ll be holding both your Shock Survival guides…

The Bear Market Proof Portfolio

And “The Perfect Physical Gold Portfolio

I can’t wait to send you both guides today…

But that’s still not all I have for you.

You see, I’ve learned of another little-appreciated asset that’s a liquid form of wealth…

It can’t be tracked or traced…

It’s completely legal and easy to find (if you know where to look)…

Over time, its value has steadily grown.

But very few people know anything about its investment potential…

You’re about to be one of the few.

I believe you must include this “secret” asset in any off-the-grid portfolio.

I tell you exactly what it is and how to get it in…

America’s Secret Currency

Report: America’s Secret Currency

The 3rd guide in your Shock Survival plan for today’s market chaos.

If you want to secure your wealth in times of turmoil…

While keeping it hidden away from the government’s prying eyes…

You’ll want to read this guide first.

That’s still not all I want to send you.

Your Shock Survival plan includes a 4th guide…

But I pray you won’t need this one.

You see, economic downturns create stress…

And societal stress can be a dangerous thing.

If things get really tough for a while…

You may need to secure some of your wealth “off the grid.”

That way, you can “sidestep” the turmoil…

And make sure your savings (and freedom) are protected.

I hope you never need it…

But the time to prepare is now…

Before the worst hits.

That’s why I wrote you a 4th guide in your Shock Survival plan.

It’s called “The Ultimate Protection Protocol.”

The Ultimate Protection Protocol

It shows you smart “off the grid” ways to help protect your wealth…

And keep it hidden from everyone – even the government.

It even includes

My #1 “wealth shield” strategy for the coming storm

Not only could this single step help shield your money from losing its value during the coming storm…

But it could also help unlock lasting wealth.

Perhaps that explains why some of the biggest investors have hundreds of millions sitting in this wealth shield.

Here’s what else you’ll find…

Your “Ultimate Protection Protocol” guide can help you:

Report: Ultimate Protection Protocol

The bottom line is this…

Having some of your assets secured — and “off the grid” now…

Will mean you’re prepared for whatever comes next.

Friend, you could be one of the few who WINS during this coming storm.

When you get all 4 survival guides today…

Shock Survival Guide

Shock Survival Guide #1: The Bear Market Proof Portfolio

Shock Survival Guide #2: The Perfect Physical Gold Portfolio

Shock Survival Guide #3: America’s Secret Currency

Shock Survival Guide #4: The Ultimate Protection Protocol

You’ll be prepared to help:

The fact is…

You’re about to join an elite group of people.

The few who know what I believe is the truth about Trump’s difficult plan to save our country…

And how to make it work to your personal advantage.

And here’s the best news…

I want to send you your complete Shock Survival plan… With all 4 wealth-building guides… As my gift to you.

I’m serious.

Let me show you exactly how you can claim your 4 guides right now.

What you’ve learned today isn’t widely known.

The media is clueless about what I am convinced is our President’s plan…

Or they simply don’t understand his toughness and genius.

As I’ve shown you today…

Even while it plays out in plain sight…

President Trump cannot reveal what I call his “Shock Plan.”

Many Americans will suffer from his necessary – but painful – strategy.

But there are some who are prepared.

There are a few Americans whose wealth is secured…

And who are ready to learn how to profit from the turmoil.

You see, everything you’ve seen today was first shared with a small circle of citizens.

Every month I take what I’ve learned from my contacts and connections in the intelligence and global finance communities…

And I write it all up in issues of a newsletter I call Strategic Intelligence.

In Strategic Intelligence, I warn my readers of coming threats to our economy and our freedoms.

In 2008, I predicted the US housing collapse.

No one believed me at the time.

Three weeks later, Lehman Brothers went belly up and markets crashed…

The retirement savings of millions of Americans were devastated.

Then, in 2016, the “experts” were shocked when I predicted Brexit…

The media said it could never happen…

Until I was proven right.

Next, despite 99% of polls showing the opposite…

I stood outside Trump Tower before the 2016 election…

And declared Donald Trump would be our next President.

I did it again this time around…

Even predicting the exact electoral college count.

And, in late 2021, several months before the first shots were fired in Ukraine…

I alerted my readers this war was an almost certainty.

It gets bigger.

I’m watching a global situation unfold right now that could make all these events seem minor…

A coming crisis could bring devastating bank defaults across the world…

Including here in America.

There’s more.

I’m also hearing whispers of another military conflict brewing…

And this time it’s much closer to home.

What will this do to the financial markets, your retirement savings…

And American global security?

Because of my contacts and experience…

I have access to certain information even our own government doesn’t know… And I share every detail with my circle of Strategic Intelligence readers.

But even better than that…

I show them the chance for PROFITS from these events.

Of course, nothing is ever guaranteed in the markets…

All investing strategies carry risk..

But I’ve developed a revolutionary way of looking at our financial system.

It’s called Complexity Theory

It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before.

I estimate less than 10 people in the world know how to apply it.

Complexity Theory gives me insight on exactly how I believe the Trump Shock could play out…

What stocks might fall…

And what assets could rocket up in price.

It allows me to warn my Strategic Intelligence readers well in advance of when things could get worse…

And when to expect a rebound.

I use my expertise to help show them how to build safe investment positions in stocks, bonds, cash, art, land, precious metals, and other hard assets.

Today, I want to extend an invitation to you.

I’d like you to join my “inner circle” of Strategic Intelligence readers.

If you say “yes”, you’ll be privy to the similar secrets, predictions, and insight…

I usually reserve only for the US intelligence community.

My goal with Strategic Intelligence is to help YOU PROFIT while others flounder.

Every month, I write directly to my readers…

Keeping you informed and armed on how I see the Trump Shock Plan unfolding.

You’ll be informed and secure as we move through each Stage…

So you know exactly what to do.

I’ll also warn you about the potential triggers that may set off an economic or social crisis.

And I’ll use Complexity Theory to give you specific investment research and recommendations as well as wealth protection strategies…

Intended to help you increase YOUR wealth even during the meltdown.

My Strategic Intelligence issues are unlike any other resource on the planet.

Only YOU will be prepared to survive and even thrive in the coming storm.

Only YOU will benefit from insights and advice from 40 years’ operating at the highest levels of government and financial institutions.

Each research dossier is easy to read and follow, but I don’t pull any punches.

Strategic Intelligence is for Americans who appreciate the uncensored truth…

And who want to WIN while weaker thinkers struggle.

I believe you’re my kind of person.

I believe you’re poised to profit during the turmoil to come.

And I believe you’ll never sit back and let others claim what you deserve.

So let’s do this.

Say YES to this invitation.

Join my circle of monthly Strategic Intelligence readers…

I request a small fee to join.

It helps cover my time and the expense of mailing each monthly dossier.

It’s normally $299 for 6 months, which is a bargain for the level of insight you’ll gain…

And the potential profits you could enjoy.

After all, my speaking fee at events is typically $25,000.

They know their returns will far outpace that investment.

But $299 is not what I’m going to ask you to pay today.

The situation is urgent.

Your wealth and retirement savings are at risk.

And I don’t want there to be any reason you won’t have access to the information you and your family need now.

So, effective immediately, I’m chopping the regular price.

Today, I’d like to offer you a full six-month subscription (6 issues) to my Strategic Intelligence newsletter for just $49. That’s an 83% discount.

When you say yes today…

You’ll get my insights into what I’m calling the “Trump Shock”…

Specific research and recommendations to help shield your money…

Plus, looming threats against our democracy and freedom…

And wealth-building opportunities most people will never hear about.

And I guarantee today’s special price will never increase as long as you’re a subscriber.

Even if I’m forced to raise the price in future…

Your discounted price is locked in forever.

But it gets better…

Because, when you subscribe today…

I’ll immediately send you your full Shock Survival plan FREE

Shock Survival Guide

I’m serious…

In fact, you should have them within minutes of subscribing today.

Then, I’ll also start sending off your exclusive monthly Strategic Intelligence dossiers the minute I write them.

Everything included in your Strategic Intelligence subscription

FREE Shock Survival Guide #4: The Ultimate Protection Protocol

And you’ll also get my private monthly newsletter Strategic Intelligence, where you’ll find…

My insights using Complexity Theory on exactly how I believe Trump’s Shock plan could play out…

What stocks might fall…

And what assets could rocket up in price.

And how to build smart investment positions in stocks, bonds, cash, art, land, precious metals, and other hard assets…

While outsmarting the media and those who don’t understand what I believe to be our President’s plan.

And so much more…

Of course, if at any time during the first 3 months…

You feel Strategic Intelligence is not worth many times what you paid…

Just request a full refund and I’ll be happy to oblige.

Plus, you keep all your issues and free gifts, even if you refund.

No questions asked, no fine print.

Just honest, honorable business…

The way things used to be done in our country.

It doesn’t get any fairer than that, does it?

I’m taking the risk…

Because it’s that important you prepare now for the difficult time ahead of us.

And speaking of risk…

That brings me to one more gift I have for you today.

In the coming economic turmoil…

Things could get even uglier in our country.

I predict the next 12-24 months will bring some unrest… And potentially even violence.

When that happens…

Protecting your money won’t be enough.

You may need to save your family and property too.

That’s why I reached out to a colleague and friend, Jason Hanson.

Jason is a former CIA operative.

He won the CIA Exceptional Performance Award not once, but TWICE.

That’s about all I’m allowed to say about his past experience, if you catch my meaning.

These days, Jason teaches no-holds-barred defense techniques to celebrities, top business executives, and other high-profile targets.

He’s a mild-mannered, unassuming guy.

You’d like him.

But when the stuff hits the fan…

Jason is positively lethal.

If you’re ever in a crisis…

You want someone like him on your side.

That’s why I asked Jason if he would develop a personal survival guide to include in the Shock Survival gift set…

And what he delivered exceeded all my expectations...

Jason created a full survival guide called

“How To Make Your Home Your Personal Fortress”

Report: How To Make Your Home Your Personal Fortress

He held nothing back.

In this uncensored guide, you’ll get pro defense techniques, like…

How to implement the CIA’s 4 Concentric Rings of Defense to make your home Hell on earth for an intruder…

How and why to safely hide a firearm on every level of your house.

The simple tool that turns your front door into an impenetrable barrier…

Then, do you have THIS very common door lock?

If so, change it immediately.

You’ll see why in your new report. (It’s important.)

Jason shows you how to build and equip a “panic room” inside your home for just a few hundred bucks.

He also included the 6 steps to survive a “societal level event” that lasts weeks… or months.

He even shows you a secret for sourcing top-quality survival food for much less than you’re paying now.

One of my personal favorite chapters is when Jason reveals covert “spy secrets” for moving undetected at night.

With these secrets, you will confidently walk inner city streets or any other unfamiliar environment.

Finally, Jason shares the most important information of all:

How to defend your family and property against multiple intruders.

This section gets intense…

But there’s nothing pretty about facing a group of thugs who want to do your family harm.

Once someone has entered your home…

They’ve abandoned any expectation of mercy.

And with the firefighting techniques Jason shows you here…

They’ll regret ever crossing your property line. Instantly.

These are still just a few of the spy-level secrets in…

How to Make Your Home Your Personal Fortress

Under Jason’s guidance, you and your loved ones will never be victims.

And that’s why…

I’m including the “How to Make Your Home Your Personal Fortress” guide as part of your complete Shock Survival gift set.

That means it’s free when you subscribe today.

Again, when you subscribe to Strategic Intelligence you’ll get:

Everything included in your Strategic Intelligence subscription
