âForewarned is forearmed.â [Wiggin Sessions] February 17, 2022 Whatâs Coming for Your Finances, Your Wealth and Well-Being... âForewarned is forearmed.â â Ancient words of wisdom [Addison Wiggin]Dear Reader, âDepressions are real,” warns Jim Rickards. “We're in one now…” Despite the incessant bantering about vaccines, booster shots and mask mandates, what I’m about to share with you will provide in-depth strategies that will take you beyond the “conventional financial wisdom” that barely scratches the surface and drowns out actionable advice. I’m talking about intimate knowledge you can use to finally break free of the mindless herd and start living the life you want. In Session 31, Jim Rickards laid it bare: If the Fed has any bullets remaining, they're blanks; the Fed is impotent. The Fed will play no role on this. They might print 3 trillion more dollars, but it's having no impact. You see, fiscal policy is impotent because the debt-to-GDP ratio is so high. What people do, Addison, is they know it's going to end badly. They don't necessarily know how or when, but they know that you're either going to tax me more to pay the debt or you're finally going to figure out how to get inflation. I can tell them how — they forgot, but I could tell them how. You finally are going to get some inflation, which is going to destroy the value of my earnings, my fixed income, etc. Or you're going to default. There's just no reason for the U.S. to default because we can print the money. So basically, you're either going to get a more stagnant growth or higher taxes or inflation or all the above. So I'm going to save more to get ready for that day because I can see it coming. Deficit spending will fail. Money printing will fail. There's no way out of this. Sure, you could claim Jim was preaching to the choir. I know money... I know the Fed... It’s my beat. After all, I wrote three New York Times bestselling books about money, debt and deficits: [The Empire of Debt]( [Demise of the Dollar]( and [Financial Reckoning Day](. I even wrote and was the executive producer of the award-winning documentary,[I.O.U.S.A.]( So I wasn’t shocked when Jim explained his technical analysis that puts us squarely in this “new depression” and warned us to keep in mind that previous depressions lasted 30 years. The economic fallout from the pandemic, the lockdowns and the massive government build-up of debt is going to weigh down the economy and any opportunity you may have for years to come. What did shock me however, was when Jim dove deep behind the members of the Biden administration and a group whom he calls the New Oligarchs: You can go down the list. They all went to one of about five schools. Harvard, Oxford, Yale, Chicago and Stanford. They're similar in age. Of the 14 top appointees, 10 of them are in their mid-fifties, between 52 and 58. Janet Yellen is 74. John Kerry is 77. There are a couple of outliers like Pete Bettigieg, who is 38. So, what does that mean? They all worked together in the Obama administration. They're all about the same age and they all went to the same schools. They know each other. They've worked together before. Who’s really in charge? A group of people I call the “New Oligarchs,” and we know who they are. It's Jeff Bezos who runs the Washington Post and Amazon. Not only does Amazon sell the world online, their web service division is the world’s largest cloud provider. Then you have Tim Cook of Apple, Jack Dorsey of Twitter, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, Bill Gates of Microsoft and Eric Schmidt who was four times CEO and later chairman of Google. The influence of the elite in politics and the economy is deeply concerning… but all of Jim’s dots connect. Their agenda is clear — a world government run by a small group of ultra-rich, interconnected people with a desire to control markets, the money, the economy, the government. And they’re succeeding. In many ways, the massive response to the pandemic was just a trial run. Now America is heading into uncharted territory during a global pandemic... … a “new depression” along with a crushing $29 trillion national debt and rising… ... a presidential election result with half of the county not believing the results... … and our longstanding civil institutions are controlled by a gang of Silicon Valley billionaire tech oligarchs who are more interested in Chinese markets than our own. How can you successfully navigate your financial health and investments under these crony market conditions? That’s exactly what we aim to find out In fact, Jim then left the gloom-and-doom room and went into the solutions. For the next 10 minutes he laid out his perfectly executed analysis for growing and protecting your wealth under the current administration and economic climate.

Founder, The Wiggin Sessions P.S. As I’ve mentioned, The Wiggin Sessions were originally only available to the highest echelon of paying readers. But that changed with episode 75, when I talked to Mark Moss, the entrepreneur who founded Market Disruptors. “Only 3k views?” writes Lisa H., one of our first public viewers, on Twitter. “[This video is fantastic]( and should be viewed a billion times.” Viewer Eric V. agrees. “I was very impressed with Mark,” he tells us, “with your interview technique, his presentation skills.” He goes on to say, “Mark’s talk just really hit home, kind of a right-between-the-eyes ‘aha’ moment.” He adds, “I am looking forward to see what is next from The Wiggin Sessions.” Hopefully you are, too.
