YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAMThe Casey Report

Dear Reader,

Recently, a new financial study came out… and I think it’s the most significant in decades.

Because it revealed insights into the Deep State… and why we are closer to a complete systemic collapse than we have ever been before.

Here’s the most important piece: Swiss Researchers created the 1st scientific map of the power network the runs the world.

The image above shows the 147 transnational corporations that form the core of the globalized economy… and their connectedness….

• The yellow dots represent the “very connected” companies

• The red dots represent the “super-connected” ones.

• The green part represents the 23 firms that form the Super-Entity.

And the green “threads” show their partial ownership of one another…

This map of the “Super-Entity” might look like an infected cell or a virus. And in many ways, that would be correct…

What the study found is that this map greatly increases the systemic risk of the entire group’s potential to collapse.

Because this map exposes deep connections among many of the world’s largest multinational corporations... and at the heart of the map lie just 23 firms (mainly banks) that form one Giant Super-Entity that controls around a staggering half of all the money flows on the planet.

YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAMThe Casey Report

That’s $183 trillion.

We call them: “The COVERT-23”… and they’re responsible for the monetary insanity we’ve seen in the past few generations.

Including a number of boneheaded policy decisions passed by presidents and the power elite that paved the way for an era of super-cronyism… and allowed the Deep State to take even deeper root.

Through sophisticated setups of offshore corporations, holding companies, bank accounts, trusts and other unusual financial structures… these firms have managed to silently and swiftly take over the global economy.

Without further ado, here are the 23 companies at the center of it all… and the associated amount of money they control.

1 BLACKROCK $8.7 TRILLION

2 VANGUARD GROUP INC. $7.1 TRILLION

3 GOVERNMENT OF NORWAY $1.27 TRILLION

4 SASAC $10.56 TRILLION

5 CAPITAL GROUP COMPANIES $2.1 TRILLION

6 STATE STREET CORP. $42.3 TRILLION

7 GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE $148 BILLION

8 FMR LLC $7.1 TRILLION

9 BARCLAY’S PLC $1.94 TRILLION

10 ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC $379 BILLION

11 JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. $29.1 TRILLION

$16 TRILLION

13 AXA $10.3 TRILLION

14 BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON CORP. $35.2 TRILLION

15 WALTON FAMILY $215 BILLION

17 DIMENSIONAL FUND ADVISORS LP $601 BILLION

18 GOVERNMENT OF SAUDI ARABIA $400 BILLION

19 ALLIANZ SE $2.72 TRILLION

20 EXXON MOBILE CORP $362.6 BILLION

21 ENGIE $159.8 BILLION

22 SUN LIFE FINANCIAL INC. $1.1 TRILLION

23 GOVERNMENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

$827.56 BILLION

24 MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP $3.3 TRILLION

TOTAL $182.366 TRILLION

But the coming collapse will be like no other that has ever come before it... because this new crash, for the first time in history, will include all civilizations at once…

It will be a misfortune beyond imagining… it will destroy the wealth of nations… cause a retirement crisis... and drive the once great American Middle Class into extinction.

But if you take the time to learn about what’s happening and why… and then take the critical steps I’m going to tell you about in this guide….

You’ll survive and thrive through the coming “Greater Depression.”

But be prepared to step through the looking glass... and venture into an investment world turned completely upside down.

If you understand the radically different terrain we’ll be entering into, you could come out on the other side of it many times richer than you ever imagined possible.

But if you don’t… you’ll go down with the rest of the ship.

First things first… how did the Covert-23 manage this huge power grab?

THE “3M RULE OF EMPIRE”Simple… they deployed the “3M Rule of Empire” in order to amass wealth and power to an extent that has never before seen by any emperor at any time.

Rule No. 1: Monopolize the Media

Monopolizing the Media was a critical step on their path to empire...

It allowed them to flourish virtually unfettered in a way most mortal investors could only dream of.

In the early ‘80s over 50 media companies shared a $60 billion industry... now just 5 players dominate a $2 trillion industry.

One of the five is Murdoch… which now owns over 40 American TV networks and cable channels, over 140 Australian newspapers, and over 300 international cable channels – which reach 1.4 billion households in 180 countries, across six continents, in 30 different languages.

Murdoch subversively sways and steers the opinions of over two billion people.

Page 6: YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAM

YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAMThe Casey Report

Combined with the other four Media Moguls, they collectively reach an audience of over 4 billion.

They are the men that manipulate the public mind... that tell us what to buy, what to wear, what to read, what to watch, where to shop, where to go, what to think, what to feel... and more.

In the ‘30s, when Germany did it, we called it Propaganda.

Rule No. 2: Monopolize the Military

In the early ‘80s, 51 major players competed for market share in the $67 billion Defense Sector.

Now the sector is dominated by just 4 players, yet the value of the sector has multiplied 56-fold to $3.8 trillion.

The giant consolidation of defense and other defense-related companies that occurred since the 9/11 terrorist attacks resulted in what is now effectively a Covert-23 owned and controlled American Military Monopoly...

It’s why construction companies have turned into destruction companies... why companies that once used to build planes and trains, erect bridges and highways, and lay pipelines and power lines, now build weapons and war craft...

It’s why we now have over 1300 military bases abroad...

The American Military now acts as a global police force for the “Covert-23.”

Rule No. 3: Monopolize the Money Markets

The third rule in the 3M RULE of Empire is Monopolize the Money Markets. You might remember, that back in the early ‘80s, you could walk down the Main Street of any regional town and open up a bank account at any number of local banks.

Back then, there were over 14,000 banks to choose from.

Today your choices are limited. A small clutch of global players dominate the market.

The biggest and most powerful are members of the Covert-23… just 14 players dominate the $6.8 trillion financial sector.

AVATARS OF THE COVERT-23What’s even more disturbing about these monopolized industries… is that we can trace the center of power back to just one or two people.

• In the oil sector, it came back to the CEOs of just 12 of the world’s biggest oil companies, with one very powerful oil man at the center: Ali bin Ibrahim Al-Naimi, the Saudi Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources

• In the global copper market, it came back to Richard Adkerson, CEO of Freeport-McMoRan.

• In the steel market, it was Lakshmi Mittal, CEO of ArcellorMittal.

• For food, it was David MacLennan, the CEO of Cargill...

• For cocaine, it was George Bush Senior and Hilary Clinton.

• For the global seed market, it was Hugh Grant, the CEO of Monsanto...

• For media, it’s Disney CEO, Bob Iger.

• For finance, it’s Blackrock CEO, Larry Fink.

• And for the military, it stretched all the way back to Henry Kissinger

In less than a single generation, the wealth and power of the Covert-23 – and their few avatars – has grown by orders of magnitude.

In 1990, the entire global GDP was $38 trillion. Today, the Covert-23 alone control and manipulate assets valued in excess of $183 trillion.

These are figures never before achieved by any empire (corporate or otherwise) in all of history.

They are unprecedented.

They’re so powerful, so connected, and so drenched in money and firepower are these global elite (with armies of lawyers and lobbyists) have been able to play by their own rules.

They now have trillions of dollars locked into pension funds, and hedge funds, and your future…and not just yours, but your children’s future… and your children’s children’s future…

What’s more, this kind of astonishing growth rate cannot be sustained. It’s mathematically impossible.

I believe the bubble is about to blow, leaving the Greater Depression in its wake.

Those who are unprepared will be decimated.

THE THREE MUST-DO MONEY MOVES YOUR NEED TO MAKE IMMEDIATELYThough nothing in the market is certain, I believe by understanding the radically different investment terrain we’ll be entering into (a terrain that will be alien to most people) you’ll be able to make the right choices – as unusual as they might seem at first.

You’ll be able to drive safely through this new economic climate.

One of the first things you must do is learn how to take back control of your own finances… and there are three ways to start the process.

So the first thing you should do immediately (if you haven’t already) is transfer some of your assets into gold.

Many people think money is something that can only come from the government. But that’s simply ridiculous.

Money is a good just like any other good.

Certain characteristics make for a good money… and for over 2,500 years, gold has been mankind’s most enduring form of money.

Gold didn’t become money because some politicians decreed it to be money.

It became money because countless individuals throughout history, and across many different civilizations, subjectively came to the same conclusion: gold is money.

It was the result of a market process of people looking for the best way to store and exchange value.

You’ve got to ask yourself, “Why did they go to gold? What makes gold attractive as money?”

Here’s why: Gold has a set of characteristics that make it uniquely suitable as money.

Gold is durable, divisible, consistent, convenient, scarce, and most important, it’s a hard money, which means it is resistant to inflation.

Here’s the bottom line.

No other commodity even comes close to matching gold’s hardness, and thus suitability as money. And no government can destroy it or inflate it away.

And that’s why, for the last 50 years, governments and mainstream economists have tried to minimize the importance of gold in favor of their inferior paper currencies.

Which is why you need to own some hold in your hand gold today.

Page 9: YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAM

YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAMThe Casey Report

The second move is to buy gold stocks.

You need to own hold in your hand gold… because it’s real money. It’s universally valued.

But gold stocks can offer massive upside leverage to the price of gold.

And I believe gold could hit all time highs this year.

Owning quality gold stocks is the way to come out on the other side of this unscathed…

And wealthier than you are now.

The third move to make today is buy some Bitcoin.

For most of human history, gold hasn’t had much competition. It’s pretty much always been the hardest of all assets.

But that all changed recently with the rise of Bitcoin – a revolutionary new asset that is now just about as hard to produce as gold.

And in less than four years, its hardness will be almost twice that of gold’s.

Bitcoin is the world’s first and only scarce digital asset.

No other cryptocurrency is genuinely scarce and decentralized like Bitcoin.

All other cryptos have key players, insiders, and development teams that can potentially act like central banks and increase the supply if they choose to.

It’s a temptation that humans will likely find impossible to resist. Eventually, it will happen – that is the nature of putting the potential to tinker with monetary policy in the hands of humans.

For example, there have been debates within the Ethereum community – the second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin – on what the inflation schedule should be.

The fact that altering the ether supply is not only possible, but a practical proposal under serious discussion, is proof that it is not a hard asset.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, takes humans out of the equation. Its non-discretionary monetary policy is in the hands of an unalterable protocol.

Bitcoin is the only crypto that is truly not controlled by anyone. Nobody can get together and alter its supply, which is fixed for eternity.

That’s the essential difference between Bitcoin and all other cryptos.

Page 10: YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAM

10

YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAMThe Casey Report

It is for this simple reason that no other cryptocurrency – and no asset other than gold – even comes close to possessing the monetary properties of Bitcoin.

As a free-market, non-government, hard money, Bitcoin is in the same league as gold. None of the other cryptos are.

Which is why to escape the reach of the Covert-23, you need to own some Bitcoin today.

These three moves will help… but in order to grow your wealth, you’ll need to identify the winners that will emerge…

THE THREE SHAKEOUT WINNERSAfter the bubble inevitably blows… the economy struggles to reset… and shakeout settles… there will be winners, and there will be losers.

In the last Great Depression, all kinds of investments got slaughtered.

If you invested in the DOW in 1932… you would have made zero returns over the next 20 years.

Everything from retailers to automakers… from manufacturing companies to banks went nowhere.

But not all was doom and gloom.

In fact, the Great Depression was a time when those who really knew what they were doing, made incredible economic strides...

While most companies were cutting back on everything from staff to marketing, from energy to production costs, a few companies did the absolute opposite.

They ramped up advertising budgets...ramped up production...and leapfrogged light-years ahead of their competitors…

They either watched their competitors go bankrupt or they swallowed them up whole, and added them to their growing Empires.

Cash-rich dividend kings who instigated aggressive marketing strategies and expansion plans back then, like Procter and Gamble, Camel Cigarettes and Skelly Oil (now Chevron/Texaco) became ever more dominant while their competitors floundered.

They delivered their shareholders 7,722%, 10,068% and 16,578% through one of the worst periods in stock market history…

And this time, there are three companies that will survive… and deliver you amazing dividends in the process.

Shakeout Winner No. 1: Gazprom Neft

Gazprom Neft (GZPFY) recently announced it was getting involved with Bitcoin mining. Yahoo Finance called it “unlocking the power of Russia’s oil and gas resources for the needs of bitcoin mining.”

Gazprom Neft will use natural gas – that they would otherwise flare – from an oil field in northwestern Siberia to generate electricity onsite for Bitcoin mining.

A small pilot program used 49,500 cubic meters of natural gas to mine 1.8 Bitcoins (roughly $81,180 as of writing). The test run was a success, and Gazprom Neft plans to ramp up its involvement in Bitcoin mining. I think this is just the beginning of an incredible transformation in the oil and gas industry, and Gazprom Neft is at the forefront of it all.

But that’s only the beginning.

We don’t know how big the future operation will be, but we know Gazprom Neft wants it big. The company has plans to significantly expand the mining farm and get more miners and more contractors like Vekus.

Bitcoin mining requires a lot of energy. So by putting mining operations at oil drilling sites where there’s abundant gas to provide virtually free electricity, both miners and the oil companies benefit.

A hefty dividend is another reason to like Gazprom Neft. At 7.7% today, it’s more than five times the yield of the S&P 500.

Better yet, Gazprom Neft still has room to grow its dividend.

Recently, it announced plans to pay out at least 50% of its annual profits. That’s up from 33% at present.

Although Gazprom Neft shares rebounded strongly from March’s COVID-19 selloff in the broader market, it unleashed a new leg down between June and November 2020.

One reason it hasn’t been on the radar of many investors is the ownership structure. The portion of the company’s shares in free float is less than 4%, so it’s not included in any popular indexes.

The rest of Gazprom Neft’s market troubles tie back to its location – Russia. With a new made-up story designed to convince Americans Russia is a boogieman every day, Russian stocks (like Gazprom Neft) are trading at a deep discount.

I don’t expect this to last for long, though. Gazprom Neft could be a company that soars if oil prices head higher in 2021, which I think there is an excellent chance of.

Page 12: YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAM

YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAMThe Casey Report

Plus, the company expects its sales and net income to rise as pandemic-related restrictions are lifted. There’s a good chance it will happen this year as people start traveling again.

In other words, the company is well-positioned to profit from the post-pandemic travel surge and energy demand growth.

I think Gazprom Neft is a strong contrarian investment. Its upside outweighs the downside, it has a dividend 5x that of the S&P 500, and that’s not even taking into consideration further moves into Bitcoin.

Action to Take: BUY Gazprom Neft (GZPFY) up to $30 per share.

The company is a Bitcoin-related investment, so we advise that you control your risk through position sizing.

If you’re a small investor, we recommend placing no more than $200–$400 in Gazprom Neft. If you’re a big investor, you can increase that to $500–$1,000.

As always, please never invest money that you can’t afford to lose, and never borrow money to invest. Losing is always a possibility with all investments.

Shakeout Winner No. 2: Altria Group

Altria Group (MO) is the largest cigarette company in the United States. It makes the famous Marlboro cigarette brand.

Altria is also a reliable, profitable, and dividend-paying business. Its dividend yield is over 8%.

And it’s been setting up a first-mover advantage in the marijuana industry. All this makes it a relatively safe way to get exposure to the booming cannabis market.

In February 2021, Altria reported its recent quarterly results.

With about $6.3 billion in quarterly net sales, its topline was up roughly 5% from a year ago (exceeding Wall Street’s expectations). Its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rang in at $0.99 (versus $1.01 a year ago).

On the net, these were decent results despite the current COVID-19-induced economic uncertainty.

That makes a lot of sense. Tobacco products are generally recession – or Greater Depression – proof. People will always find a way to have a smoke.

A word on Juul Labs, which Altria has a stake in…

Page 13: YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAM

13

YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAMThe Casey Report

Last quarter, the e-cigarette giant’s sales volumes were flat sequentially, while the e-vapor industry grew by roughly 10%. In addition to having trouble maintaining its market share, the company continues to face regulatory hurdles. In short, Juul isn’t doing great.

Eventually – I’m sure – Juul will come out on top, and it will happen because of Altria. If there’s one thing the tobacco behemoth does well, it is getting through “regulatory hurdles.”

Meanwhile, none of this changes the fact that Altria continues to do well operationally.

As a stable, profitable, and dividend-paying business, Altria continues to give us a terrific way to get exposure to the booming legal cannabis megatrend.

In the meantime, we’ll be collecting our dividends. Altria announced a 2% increase in its dividends in mid-2020. This shows commitment on the part of the company’s management to return value to its shareholders.

Action to Take: BUY shares of Altria Group (MO) up to $65 per share. Use a 50% trailing stop loss on the position.

Shakeout Winner No. 3: Walmart

Walmart (WMT) is the world’s biggest retailer. It has over 11,500 locations spanning five continents.

Walmart also has a growing online presence. It may be the only retailer capable of seriously competing with Amazon in the e-commerce space.

Walmart has weathered the COVID pandemic exceptionally well. Amid the 2020 economic crisis when millions became unemployed, controlling household costs became paramount. And Walmart is the retailer of choice for cost-sensitive customers.

Net sales for Walmart’s US e-commerce business grew by an impressive 97% year-on-year. It’s a direct result of Walmart successfully capitalizing on programs like grocery pickup and delivery.

If Amazon isn’t concerned, it should be.

And Walmart is also a Dividend Aristocrat – a company that has increased its dividend for 25 years or more. The company has increased its dividend for 47 consecutive years – even through the recent gloomy years in retail.

And remember, the coronavirus hysteria is not over. It means people will continue preferring to eat at home and shop online. Walmart has been investing heavily in its e-commerce platform.

Page 14: YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAM

14

YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAMThe Casey Report

In September 2020, the company launched Walmart Plus, a service like Amazon’s Prime that includes fast delivery. It will help Walmart lure some of Amazon’s customers on its platform. Statista reports that about 53% of Amazon customers also shop at Walmart, which means that if Walmart’s Prime-like offer can deliver tangible value, we’ll see some of the current Prime members move to Walmart Plus.

Developing its e-commerce footprint will be Walmart’s primary focus and its main catalyst.

Action to Take: BUY Walmart (WMT) up to $145 per share. Use a 50% trailing stop loss on the position.

“THE TECH TRADE OF THE DECADE”As I said, most things got slaughtered during the last Great Depression… but the tech sector continued to soar ahead.

Back then the tech of the day was typewriters.

Through the inflationary ‘70s, it was computers.

And through the 2020s, the new “typewriter” and “computer” will be the radical and revolutionary new technology called the Blockchain.

I know you’ve heard a lot about 5G, IoT, 3D printing, nanotech, and AI – and Doug Casey and I believe all of these sectors will continue to accelerate at the rate of Moore’s Law.

But Blockchain is not only going to trump all of them… it will include them.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM), also known as TSMC, is the world’s largest computer chips supplier. It’s a business that is both demanding and profitable.

Global technology giants like NVIDIA, AMD, and Apple rely on TSMC to produce their chips.

Surprisingly, it’s still relatively unknown. The fact that it is headquartered in Taiwan and not Silicon Valley is probably one reason it’s flown under the radar of many investors.

But the even lesser-known fact is that TSMC has emerged as a significant beneficiary of the crypto mining boom.

The company makes some of the best silicon and circuitry that power the vast data centers mining Bitcoin.

This makes TSMC uniquely positioned to ride the Bitcoin trend.

Page 15: YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAM

15

YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAMThe Casey Report

TSMC shares have been on a tear over the past year.

That tells us that the TSMC business continues to shine despite the COVID-19 pandemic and US-China tensions.

That’s hardly surprising given the untapped appetite for computer chips from 5G phones, cloud servers, game consoles, electric cars, and work-from-home demand (amid the ongoing pandemic).

TSMC isn’t a tiny company that might double in value on great news. It’s a multibillion-dollar business. Any push here will hinge on the company’s continued ability to grow its business.

That said, I expect TSMC will continue to get a boost amid rising demand for PCs, servers, and increasing adoption of 5G. COVID-19 or not, remote working is here to stay.

This all but guarantees a fast-paced growth in TSMC’s high-performance computing (HPC) segment, including its crypto-mining business.

Over the past several years, TSMC has experienced impressive sales growth. During the past year, the company saw its revenues hit $47.7 billion. That’s up 86% from 2015.

This kind of performance would be impressive for any company, let alone for one the size of TSMC.

I also like the fact that the company has proven its ability to grow sales consistently from year to year.

Page 16: YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAM

16

YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAMThe Casey Report

I expect TSMC to continue to grow sales this year and beyond.

One primary reason for expecting this is due to the fast-paced growth in TSMC’s high-performance computing (HPC) segment, which includes its crypto mining business.

Bitcoin Mining

TSMC does not disclose specific data for its crypto mining business. Instead, it lumps these figures into one pile under the HPC segment. We do know, however, that HPC sales have grown leaps and bounds over the past six quarters. You can see this in the next chart.

Page 17: YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAM

17

YOUR “COVERT-23” INOCULATION PROGRAMThe Casey Report

HPC business has also been booming in relative terms too. The share of the company’s HPC sales has increased from 29% in Q1 2019 to 31% in Q4 2020.

The rise of ASICs has been one of the forces behind this growth.

ASICs are specialized computers designed for one purpose only – to mine Bitcoin. And they do it much faster and more efficiently than any legacy technology that came before them.

Bitmain, a privately owned Chinese company, is a significant manufacturer of ASICs. It’s one of the biggest ASICs suppliers in the world.

More importantly, Bitmain is one of TSMC’s major customers. The Taiwanese semiconductor giant makes the chips that go into Bitmain’s ASIC miners. For instance, one of the most powerful Bitcoin mining ASICs on the market – the Antminer S19 – uses TSMC’s 7-nanometer chips.

Being the leading supplier of chips to a major-league ASIC manufacturer like Bitmain has given TSMC a direct way to capitalize on the rise of Bitcoin.

But it’s not only Bitmain.

Another major player in the space, Canaan Creative, also uses TSMC’s chips. Likewise, based in China, Canaan specializes in ASIC solutions for use in Bitcoin mining.

TSMC is also currently producing 5-nanometer chips for the latest mining equipment of both Bitmain and Canaan. The chip enhances performance by 15% with the same power consumption. With energy consumption being one of the most significant considerations for Bitcoin miners, TSMC’s 5-nanometer chip is poised to dominate the market.

Admittedly, crypto mining is still a new growth area for TSMC. But it’s already affecting the company. Furthermore, I believe this computer chip giant will continue to benefit from the growth of Bitcoin a lot more in the future.

The key reason for it is simple. ASICs become obsolete quickly, and miners need to upgrade to the latest and most powerful equipment available. They have no choice. They need to keep upgrading to stay competitive, or they won’t have a chance of solving the Proof of Work math problems and thus earning the rewards.

This means that they need to buy newer and more powerful ASICs as soon as the next generation of hardware is out. And TSMC, which produces the backbone of those ASICs, stands to benefit from the continuous upgrade cycle that Bitcoin mining companies face.

Here’s the bottom line. A large and mature company like TSMC gives us exposure to Bitcoin while being much less volatile than Bitcoin itself.

I’m confident we’ll continue to see the company do very well in the quarters ahead.

Action to Take: BUY Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) up to $125 per share.

Listen… I know all of this information is difficult to swallow. It’s like every dark conspiracy you’ve ever thought of has scientifically been proven to be real.

But if you follow this advice… and keep a clear head, you’ll get out on the other side. And you’ll have protected your wealth and family in the process.
