As I said, the event doesn’t start until 4pm ET, so save that link and set an alarm so you’re ready when we begin. Now to today’s Daily FWD… we’re going to cover issues like why your Social Security is in trouble, what the Fed raising rates would mean for you, how going green can be good business and the second part in our deep-dive into Russia’s resource abundance (and what it means for America). But first, Jim Rickards is going to tell you about DEI — aka diversity, equity and inclusion. Seems like something we can all get behind… right? Well, as you’ll see, the problem is that these words are being used by cowardly CEOs eager to appease the woke mob — losing their original meaning. This scam, along with the green scam, is creating an America where elites control everything and you do as you’re told. It’s a world based on lies and fear. Let’s get into it… [Click here to learn more]( News: Jim Rickards – DEI Must DIE DEI sounds good. Who doesn’t like diversity in experience and conversation? Who doesn’t support equity? And what’s wrong with the inclusion of individuals in larger groups and institutions? Nothing. The problem is that none of these words is used in any common-sense way. They’re used in Orwellian fashion to mean almost their exact opposites. Diversity to them means uniformity of thought and practice along ideological and political lines. Equity does not mean equality of opportunity. It means equality of result, which involves handicapping the most talented and taking from the most productive to give handouts to the laziest and least motivated. Inclusion means exclusion of whites from Black dorms, exclusion of unpopular speakers from public venues and exclusion of ideas that vary from a politically rigid orthodoxy. It’s time for DEI to DIE. It’s time to exclude these ideas from the campuses, institutions and corporations where they prevail. And related to the DEI agenda is the ESG agenda. And the main component of the ESG agenda is climate. Jim will show you how that climate agenda has little to do with climate — and everything to do with control over you… [⇒ Read More Here]( [read more...]( Politics: Sean Ring – Good Luck Getting Social Security The unfunded liabilities of the US are $187.8 trillion. $22.6 trillion of that is the amount the USG is supposed to pay out to Social Security. Good luck with that. The fact that Social Security is essentially an off-balance sheet item — a la Enron — is a crime in and of itself. But how did we get here even in the midst of “surpluses”?

But are there warning signs of not only more hikes… but a recession? Absolutely. We dive into our thoughts on the current situation developing with the Federal Reserve — looking at historical examples to see if we can get a sense of what’s coming.

However you feel about the methods, there’s no argument that the push to “go green” is driving business in a big way. But the only “green” most of these companies care about is the dollars they’re collecting from government subsidies and public goodwill. Today, we’ll continue to highlight how some of these eco-friendly programs and incentives are being exploited in unproductive, or even counterproductive ways.

Are diamonds just a girl’s best friend? What do we need cobalt for? Let’s finish off the list of natural resources America is not in the lead with… [⇒ Read More Here]( That’s all for today, we’ll be back tomorrow with what our editors were thinking about this week.
