By David Forest, editor, Strategic Investor A crisis is unfolding in America. As you know, millions of Americans have been decimated by the economic damage of the coronavirus. To stave off total collapse, the federal government has been forced to take desperate action. Interest rates have plummeted… evictions paused… and Congress even went so far as depositing checks directly into American bank accounts. Yet… look around. Americans are still piling into food lines. Millions are still jobless. The country still sits on the edge, following riots and protests… the siege on the Capitol… and growing political division. And as bad as this is, it could get much worse… | Recommended Link | | Where America Goes From Here (It's a Nightmare)
Our country is falling apart. And it’s about to get much worse. The siege of the Capitol… the riots and protests… the political division… that’s all nothing compared to what’s coming next – as soon as hours from now. The most important thing you must do, right away, is this… Protect your wealth while you still can. | | | -- | A Spike in Civil Unrest Over the summer, we saw a surge in civil unrest. Violent protests and riots in cities like Portland and Seattle left a trail of destruction in their wake, causing billions of dollars in damage. Most people chalk the unrest up to political division and social justice. But here at Casey Research, we don’t view things through the lens of popular opinion. That’s why I view the rioting and violence as something different. Social injustice isn’t what’s causing violence in the streets. That’s just an excuse. I see it as the ever-growing wealth gap. And it’s only going to get worse. The 3 Most Valuable Technologies You've Never Heard Of But fortunately, at Casey Research, we look for the big picture trends that will come out of this surge in violence… and ways to protect (and grow) our wealth in the face of crisis. And below, I'll share how you can protect yourself – and your wealth – from civil unrest… And profit. The Wealth Gap Is Widening Today, 10% of the U.S. population control 68% of the country’s wealth. Thirty years ago, that figure was 60%. What’s more, the top 10% own 37 times more wealth than the bottom 50%. In 1990, it was only 17 times. 
In fact, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the top 59 wealthiest Americans have more wealth than half the U.S. population. The Fed is blind to the fact that its policies have that effect. We still have promises of more stimulus to come. That will only continue to increase the wealth gap. That spells doom for the middle and lower classes. The Fed fails to see that its policies are causing a silent tax on the majority… as the cost of everyday goods like food continues to rise. However, it’s not just an index telling us something’s not right… | Recommended Link | | Fmr. Dock Worker Turns Millionaire… Warns Americans
This video is going viral… A former NY loading dock worker – who rose to the top of Wall Street in just 3 years – blasts Congress and reveals nasty truths about America… Now, in his latest video, he shares a fiery warning for all Americans… His videos have often been blacklisted by major networks… But this one is posted for free – on an independent website – so you can make your own decision. Do you think this message should be banned? | | | -- | An Inevitable Uprising According to a report from The New York Times, an estimated 1.5 million New Yorkers can’t afford food. Next door in New Jersey, the Community FoodBank of New Jersey warned 1.2 million state residents are food insecure. Violently protesting in the name of social justice is one thing. But when people go hungry, there will be rivers of blood in the streets. We know this from places like the Middle East and Venezuela. In fact, the situation in Venezuela is so bad, rioters robbed a truck transporting corn at gunpoint. It all comes down to money. Or the lack of it. And this all comes as elected officials in communities across the U.S. are actively calling to disband their local law enforcement. That leaves the peaceful, law-abiding citizens and businesses left to pick up the pieces. Los Angeles police Chief Michael Moore said, “We have a pandemic of crime right now… These cuts couldn’t come at a worse time. My ability to put added resources right now is hampered.” As people use more and more of their paychecks to buy less and less food… and the “defund the police” movement picks up steam… that’s when we’ll see a true uprising – and more violence. In fact, regular readers know our founder, Doug Casey, sees a breakup of the U.S. as inevitable. But as this crisis plays out, there is a way for investors to keep themselves shielded from the worst effects. In fact, if you act quickly… you can come out of this storm safe, secure…. And ahead in your investment account. I'll give you all the details on my top two picks to ride this wave of civil unrest in my urgent briefing right here.
