Derived from an episode of Economic War Room.

The United States is facing a full-scale economic assault from foreign adversaries and domestic policies that undermine its strength. This assault is not just a matter of economic competition, but a deliberate attempt to weaken America’s economic foundation and gain a strategic advantage. The consequences of inaction will be severe, from lost jobs and industries to a decline in national security and prosperity.

Foreign Threats: China’s Unrestricted Warfare

China’s military doctrine of unrestricted warfare is a key component of its economic strategy. By dominating the supply chain of rare earth minerals and critical materials, China is able to exert significant influence over the global economy. As Kevin Freeman, host of the Economic War Room, notes, ‘They dominate the rare earth minerals and critical materials supply chain. China controls roughly 60 to 70 percent of global mining production and up to 90 percent or more of the processing and refining capacity for these vital elements.’

China’s currency manipulation and intellectual property theft are also major concerns. By artificially keeping its exports cheap, China is able to flood the US market with subsidized goods, destroying American industries and costing millions of jobs. The annual cost of intellectual property theft to the US economy is estimated to be between $225 billion and $600 billion.

Domestic Policies: Undermining America’s Economic Foundation

Domestic policies such as excessive national debt, ESG investing mandates, and DEI policies are also weakening America’s economic foundation. The national debt has surpassed $39 trillion, with interest payments alone exceeding the defense budget in some years. ESG investing mandates are pushing companies to prioritize political and social scoring systems over profit, safety, and innovation, creating hidden risks and distorting capital allocation. DEI policies are dividing the workforce and prioritizing identity checkboxes over merit and competence.

Building a Strong Defense

So, what can Americans do to build a strong defense against these economic threats? Kevin Freeman recommends diversifying intelligently and defensively, moving beyond pure paper assets and into transactional gold and silver. He also emphasizes the importance of awareness and action, stating, ‘Awareness without action is ultimately worthless. It leads only to frustration, despair, and defeat.’

By understanding the threats facing America’s economy and taking action to build a strong defense, Americans can protect their retirement accounts, savings, and paychecks. It’s time to get in the fight and take control of the country’s economic future.
