Brace yourselves as we pull back the curtain on the harrowing Maui fires and expose the shocking reality that has been kept under wraps. Joining us is Ed Dowd, founder of Finance Technologies Global Macro Alternative Investment Firm and author of Cause Unknown the Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022. With Ed, we explore the colossal failures of the local government, the heart-breaking human loss, and the hushed cover-up that has left the community in tremors. The journey doesn't stop there; Ed takes us through the economic aftershock of this tragedy, revealing how it intertwined with the sudden deaths epidemic and the subsequent vaccine rollout.

In a startling turn of events, Ed reveals the devastating impact the pandemic has brought upon the global labor force. Through his incisive insights, he paints a distressing picture of the surging number of deaths, disabilities, and injuries linked to the mRNA vaccine, all while speculating on the potential economic implications of a shrinking labor force. Can you imagine the impact of looming supply chain disruptions? We go global, drawing data from around the world, scrutinizing the ripple effects on international economies, and the critical role finance technologies could play in these uncertain times.

Speaker 1: 0:00

Future of Finance. I'm here with Ed Dowd, who, in the past, has worked at BlackRock as a portfolio manager, where he managed 14 billion in a growth equity portfolio for 10 years. Now he's the founding partner of Finance Technologies Global Macro Alternative Investment Firm and is the author of Cause Unknown the Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022. So, ed, thank you for coming around the show my condolences to your family and friends who might've been affected by the fires there in Maui. Let's start out there Tell me how you're doing, tell me how your friends and family are doing and any commentary on that.

Speaker 2: 0:34

Yeah, so two things. Most of Maui's fine. The mainstream media portrayed the whole island on fire to push forth their climate change agenda. What happened in Lahaina was tragic and that's not to be minimized, but Maui's open for business. A lot of people think that coming to Maui is not an option, but the local economy is crashed because the governor told tourists to stay away and now people are being laid off. So we're encouraging tourists to come. 80% of the island is open, Just the west side that, tragically, where the fires really engulfed the town. But the rest of Maui still stands and is open for business.

Speaker 1: 1:21

It was basically the best way to support Go visit Maui.

Speaker 2: 1:24

Go visit Maui. The fire was. After my analysis, it was a epic failure in local government. There were a lot of things that went wrong all at once. They did not sound. The warning system here that we have, a warning system that we test every the first Monday of every month in every town on Maui Lahaina had such a system. The first iteration of the coverup that I'd believe is in process was the lie that it wasn't working. The governor repeated that lie, but it was working. And then we found out that the man responsible for that sounding of the alarm decided not to because he was worried people would think it's a tsunami and run for higher ground where he thought a fire was. The tsunami warning system is not just for tsunamis, it's on the website. It stated clearly fires, terrorists, attacks, anything. So the decision was made not to sound the alarm. He was asked if he regretted that decision. He said no. Then the next day he resigned due to health problems. So that was mistake number one. Mistake number two was the hydrants apparently didn't work. That still needs to be investigated. There was a water issue in that the Department of Land and National Resources did not release water to the lower portion of La Jaina until it was too late. That needs to be investigated.

Speaker 2: 2:57

There was a fire up on the bypass above the town earlier in the morning. They sent out messages that it was contained around noon. It apparently wasn't contained. And then there was escape. Routes were blocked. We don't think intentionally, but it was just, you know, police officers taking orders and that exacerbated the situation. And also, the most importantly, the power lines were active and charged when the winds came and blew over and started fires in the town.

Speaker 2: 3:36

There's a lot of people need to understand. La Jaina is historical town. The major road on there was called Front Street and a lot of the homes and storefronts were all made of wood. A lot of these restaurants and people had propane tanks. So once it got going it was a cascading effect of explosions. There were reports that a transformer went down into a gas station, blew that up.

Speaker 2: 4:00

So you know the other theories that are flowing around out there. I've seen zero evidence. This wind was a confluence of a high pressure front with a low pressure front smashing together, creating winds in between, and that and Hawaiian islands were in between. There were winds on the big islands. There were winds on Maui other islands as well. So the winds were real and the biggest tragedy of all this is that they canceled school in the morning. A lot of the parents are dual income parents, so they weren't home and there's whisper numbers of 200 to 1400 children that might have died, which is tragic.

Speaker 2: 4:43

It's gonna be, as the governor stated a couple of weeks ago on Face the Nation, over a thousand missing, which we can probably safely say are dead at this point, and there was initially a coverup and an inability for the local government to even put an estimate on the numbers. That got kind of a lot of pushback and the governor, I think, wanted to distance himself from the local officials. So he came out on Face the Nation and he said it's gonna be over. The missing are probably gonna end up being over a thousand. So he verified the numbers that we were hearing on Maui from first responders and then he said a lot of them will be children. He did not put a number on it. So we're starting to see a coverup. That's kind of in.

Speaker 2: 5:28

Hopefully this all gets revealed at the end of the day. But there definitely was a coverup initially. They did not allow relief aid to come into Lahaina. They blockaded the road. We think that was to control the message. Yeah, I speculate that it was an attempt to, you know, slow roll the death numbers rather than let people get shocked and potentially cause a lot of angst on the island of Maui. So that's kind of what I know. Epic failure.

Speaker 1: 5:58

Well, it's good to get some down to earth. You're on the ground there, so get some reality, because our imaginations are running wild, because we can't trust the government on all this stuff, then we start creating our own theories. But that's important. That's why I asked you about it to get some facts and figures. Another sobering topic is your book Cause Unknown. I want to talk to you, even though it might seem a little callous to put it this way. I want to talk about the economic impacts of all of these people dying and we don't know officially why they died. Of course, the Vax rollout happened right when all of them died, so a lot of people are red-pilled about that. But I want to ask you about the economic impacts. Is it true your investment firm is using that as one of its the thesis to explore?

Speaker 2: 6:54

Yeah, I mean absolutely so. As tragic as the sudden deaths are, especially amongst the working age young, the numbers are still small. They're abnormally high statistically but they're small compared to the economy. But what's alarming is the disabled number and the injured number. So you have injuries, disabilities and deaths, and injuries can turn into disabilities and disabilities can turn into deaths. So it's known as the term morbidity leads mortality. So we've discovered in our analysis, through our estimates, about 300,000 dead in 22, 21, excessively. In the US that number's probably low. Disabled, as of the end of 22, was 1.36 million Again, we were being conservative and then injured, we measured through absence rates and lost work time and looking at the severe adverse events in the Pfizer clinical trial, and we estimate 26.6 million people whose immune system has likely been compromised, and so that's the employed.

Speaker 2: 8:03

We don't know the long-term effects of that. No, we don't. And disabilities hit a high in September 22,. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, they went from 30 million to 33.2 million, most half of which were employed. The figures went sideways until for about a year or nine months and I was hopeful they would trend back down, but they weren't. So the trend wasn't broken. And then in June and May we went to a slight new high and then in June we exploded 857,000 newly disabled. So we're about 4.1, 4.2 million newly disabled individuals, again more of most of them on the employed side, and obviously we speculate. Our data shows that it was detrimental to your health to be employed. In 21 and 22, in terms of deaths and disabilities, we saw that excess deaths affected the employed more so than the general US population, which has never happened before, because the employed are the most healthy amongst us, getting up, going to work, and then also disabilities adversely affected the employed.

Speaker 2: 9:10

So our thesis obviously is what changed a universal new novel technology mRNA vaccine that wasn't really tested on humans, plus mandates. So what we think is going to happen over time, unless this problem is addressed and the solutions are found to detoxify this new vaccine, we're going to have a smaller labor pool. There'll be shortages of workers. That will affect supply chains. That has already affected you know anecdotally, many people complain about restaurants closing early, closing for more days of the week than they used to. Getting your car serviced is a disaster. It's starting to affect the supply chains and goods and services we used to take for granted are going to slowly become harder and harder and more expensive. Then we also have to think about the economic impact of diverting government resources that could be applied to infrastructure or other noble things to taking care of the sick, the dying and the injured, and that's going to be a huge economic drain on productive productivity. So we're looking at, you know, a deflationary outcome. This will have a deflationary impact. As you know, more and more people just kind of disappear or get disabled. So that's kind of our, our forecast is a recession in the next 12 months, probably started it's probably started this quarter, and deflation will be on everybody's lips sometime next year.

Speaker 2: 10:47

Money supply is going the wrong way. It's negative year over year growth. We haven't seen that since 1930. Bank, you know, everyone seems to have forgotten the bank failures. In March the Fed, you know, put a bandaid on that. It's just a bandaid. It didn't really solve the problem, it just slowed it down.

Speaker 2: 11:05

Because what's going on is, you know, you can, you can get. The Fed funds rate is like, I think, five and three quarters or five and a half. You can put your money in a government T bill earning five plus percent and your deposits at your bank are still de minimis because they can't raise the deposit rate because they bought all these low yielding bonds over the last 14 years. So they can't do it. So the money is just naturally leaving the banks seeking higher yields. So they're losing deposits and all the Fed did was slow down that rate to prevent, I guess, a bank run. But the banks are in trouble and you know, banks, when they're in trouble, don't lend. When they don't lend, credit is the lifeblood of the economy. So when you know we're having a credit contraction, so everything's slowing down.

Speaker 1: 11:56

Well, what's interesting to me is that this labor shortage is happening on top of this demographic trend of the baby boomers getting sicker, retiring, leaving the workforce because of their aging. This is a trend that's going to be happening, of course, for the next decade or so, that's on top of the sudden deaths and the labor shortage there. Can you talk about that? And then also how AI might have the opposite effect where it's taking the jobs? So could that counterbalance it?

Speaker 2: 12:32

Yeah, so demographically we are actually better off because, pervertedly, we're letting people run across the border. So we are better off in a lot of other countries due to our immigration policies, which we basically have none. So.

Speaker 2: 12:54

I find that if you want to be speculative and think about it. A lot of the new immigrants running across the border are not vaccinated, so there could be speculation. It's an intentional replacement strategy of workers with lower unemployment rates, lower income, lower educated folks. Ai is a lot of speculation. Ai is going to destroy a lot of jobs. That may be true, but AI it's a clunky AI. It's not sentient. I view it as a first draft.

Speaker 2: 13:36

When I was growing up I had to type online college papers. I wish there was Word documents when I was there. But then Word documents and then they auto-sentence complete. Basically, ai is a first draft. You can write a paper and then go in and edit it, so it's not really thinking. It's garbage in, garbage out. It can be manipulated for propaganda, so will it take a lot of jobs? Potentially, but I don't think it's ready for prime time yet. The way I view it is it's a tool that a lot of people will use to basically write their own stuff and really just Maybe that's more of a long-term solution to the labor shortage.

Speaker 1: 14:17

but in the short term, over the next couple of years, we're going to see a major labor shortage.

Speaker 2: 14:22

Yeah, absolutely. So. We're going to see both inflation and deflation at the same time, called stagflation. We're going to see periods of deflation. The monetary authorities respond, the government responds with more spending, more printing. So we're going to have a kind of be like the 70s, a wild-rag inflation, deflation, inflation, deflation. So we're in a very volatile economic period and it's going to be hard to make longer-term decisions. It's been easy since the 80s, when interest rates were just trending down over a 30-year period. Now we're going to have more volatility.

Speaker 1: 15:04

So if people don't know if it's going to be inflationary or deflationary and there's a lot of volatility, do you think a lot of people would choose? I know you're not giving investment advice, but do you think a lot of people would just choose to stay in cash because of that uncertainty?

Speaker 2: 15:17

Yeah, and in fact, given the budget deficits and the crowding out effect, the government debt issuance will be so large. And we did just get a credit down rating by, I think, one of the bond rating even. Please, yeah, fetch. So we have now it looks like $2 trillion deficits as far as the eye can see. So the government is going to probably the government bonds are going to be your best bet, because the US isn't going to go bankrupt. We have nuclear weapons, the back are dollar, the empire is in decline, but it's not going to crash overnight and we're going to crowd out of the investments. That means over time, stock prices will go lower, other types of investments will go lower as the government crowding out effect and the you know begins.

Speaker 1: 16:13

What about healthcare, long-term care, these types of plays? Because I mean, we already have a demographic trend of the baby boomers retiring and needing more long-term care and in-home care, and then you add all these injuries and so forth. Is that another thing that investors portfolio is exploring?

Speaker 2: 16:31

I mean I'm not making stock recommendations, but over the long-term insurance companies got problems because they're still in denial about the long-term excess mortality and disability rates, so they're going to misprice their policies. They'll lose money. Fural homes continue to see good business. And then long-term disability stocks I don't know any, I don't follow that space, but they'll do better over time as warmer people enter those facilities, unfortunately. Right, you know that's stock specific, but in general we're expecting the whole stock market to reflect the economy soon and that's going to probably go a lot lower in our opinion.

Speaker 1: 17:18

Well, that's just interesting to hear you talk about this and get your insights. A quick sponsor break. There are three reasons to go to badlandsgoldcom to request your free Gold IRA kit.

So go to badlandsgoldcom and request your free Gold IRA kit. Actually, that message came just in time to talk about precious metals, so we don't have to get into that, because I wanted to ask you about the BRICs, about these oil-rich nations. Just this week we had Iran and we had the UAE, we had Saudi Arabia join BRICs. My understanding is they're controlling 60% of the oil wealth and oil resources with these BRICs nations. That's economic power, that's political power, that's perhaps even you could say, in a way, it's a military power, because oil is very important for war. So I wanted to get your insights on this development.

Speaker 2: 18:20

Yeah. So the BRICs conference, I think, is this month, and is it a problem long-term? Yes, what we're seeing is active defiance from our partners, and they've been squabbling about the dollar for years, but now they're doing it in public because we have a weak administration. Does that mean that they're going to start trading in this new BRICs currency that they're chatting about? No, it's a conversation. They all don't trust each other. There may be people who leave.

Speaker 2: 18:59

I think India is not participating, mexico decided not to go, so it's not nirvana for the BRICs nations and you have to understand money is debt, so there's trillions and trillions of US dollar-denominated debt around the world. If they were to start trading in a new currency, their economies would implode. It would be deflationary for them. So it's a process. Is it alarming? Yes, it's now being talked about in the open. It just shows the decline of our country in terms of their ability to influence others, and they look at us as weak. And it's hard not to look at us as weak when we have the current president and administration. It doesn't seem to be inspiring a lot of confidence.

Speaker 1: 19:51

Right. And what about the fact that you studied a lot of the US stats, probably? What about the rest of the world as far as how this vax rule out affected them? What about the EU? My understanding is it affected the Commonwealth countries the most. That's where the vax was rolled out the most. That's where the most injuries are in the UK, EU, Australia, Canada, these types of countries. What about these other big economies? How might they be affected? Do you think they've had as many injuries in, say, Russia or China?

Speaker 2: 20:26

We haven't analyzed Russia or China, but we do have the data on the UK, europe, germany, australia, ireland. So the Western nations have been impacted pretty much the same. The data is eerily similar across these countries some worse, some better, but we're seeing an increase in excess deaths, especially amongst the young. We're seeing disabilities on the rise, especially in the UK, where we've gotten our hands on some good data, and absence rates and work time lost are very similar in the UK to the US. So, even though we don't have the Eurostat data for the other countries, we can surmise that they're seeing what we're seeing in the UK and the US. I mean, the UK and the US are separated by a pond different economies, but they're experiencing similar disabilities, deaths and injuries. So I don't know what's going on in Russia. I don't know what's going on in China. We don't have the data, so we'll see.

Speaker 1: 21:29

Well, I'm curious about brain drain, because you talked about, you know, skilled people retiring and dying because they're baby boomers. Oh, you talked about skilled people getting injured and going out of the workplace because of cause unknown, and then you have all these unskilled people coming across the border, and maybe it's in some ways a good thing because they're replacing this aging and injured population. But what about all the skilled labor that we need? Could that be a thing that really determines competition amongst nations going forward? The ones that aren't as vaccinated have the best skilled workforce.

Speaker 2: 22:10

Oh yeah, absolutely. So we would love to get our hands on all the data from different countries on their vaccines and over time you could develop investment strategies. Where you go long, one country Again we're speculating, we don't have the data on these other countries. You go long one country that had a huge under vaccinated, then you go short a highly vaccinated country. Over time their economic growth in the unvaccinated country would be better than the other one and that'll show up in terms of currencies and what have you.

Speaker 2: 22:47

But that's a longer term thesis. Short term there's lots of fluctuations, but that's something that is going to affect the world for years to come. With the competitive nature, if we just torch a bunch of highly skilled, employed people, it's going to be a problem and we're already seeing it. I mean, hospitals are already overloaded and the sickness rates in hospitals are very similar to what we're seeing in the general economy. Because they all had to get vaccinated, the ability to get an appointment has gone dramatically up. The ability to get an MRI or CAT scan analyzed has gone from 24 hours to two, three weeks because radiologists are in short supply. So just expect, if you get sick, it's going to be more like socialized medicine than it was ever was. In our country, Access to health care is on the decline because of the shortage.

Speaker 1: 23:47

Yeah, I've been living outside of the US for five years. I'm in Brazil right now, but before I left there was a huge labor shortage for skilled work like nursing, for example, and I imagine since I left it's gotten even more competitive and they have to pay these nurses and doctors and these types of skilled people more and more and more to retain them and to recruit them. So going forward could that become kind of unsustainable for the entire sector?

Speaker 2: 24:20

The sector is getting whacked in two ways. More and more people are losing insurance, becoming unemployed, so the ability to pay is decreasing, and then if you have to pay the current workers more, you're going to get squeezed. So a lot of hospital systems are going to go bankrupt, so it's going to be a longer term problem.

Speaker 1: 24:43

Right, tell me about finance technologies. What kind of clients do you have? What's the plan going forward for that entity?

Speaker 2: 24:52

Yeah, so we originally just worked on the Humanity Project, the vaccine data that we decided that ethically it needed to be free and done as quickly as possible, and we keep unveiling new, more disturbing data, so we have not raised our seed partner. We're looking for a seed partner to start the hedge fund. That's been on delay, so we've been working pro bono. Eventually it'll happen and when it does, it's going to be a global macro commodities systematic fund that's going to use our analysis of economies and demographics and vaccine, injuries and whatnot over time.

Speaker 1: 25:35

It's a very novel. I mean, I can just imagine, as you were describing, shorting a certain country a certain vaccination rates and going along another country a certain vaccination rates. It's just a different way of thinking about things now and nobody else is looking at it, which gives you guys a great advantage. Tell me about the book Cause Unknown you know where can people get it and read it, and anything going forward as you have more data you're analyzing Is there going to be a future book?

Speaker 2: 26:05

Yeah, we're already looking at updating some of the sudden athletic deaths that have occurred since the book was written. So we're going to include more stories. Eventually we'll have more data. The book can be found on Amazon and the book, I'm told, is an instrument.

Speaker 2: 26:24

I voted to convince my loved ones not to continue on with this program and I come out of from a Wall Street hard data kind of effort where I don't get into the who or why to say it is and it's a cover up at this point and what I'm being told is it changes minds on the margin. You know it's not going to change the cult members, but those who didn't really have a, you know, a stake in the game and wanted to keep their job or waking up. So the book, a red pill, or you know someone in our camp will buy it and they'll read it and they'll be like I'm going to give this to my brother. They give it to their brother and then they say, well, I'm going to order five more and then give it to other people. So it's kind of a Paul Revere the British are coming pamphlet book. That kind of warns people because the authorities are not going to cop to this anytime soon.

Speaker 1: 27:12

Right I mean, that's something we didn't talk about is the idea that this is not just a retrospective of one thing that was rolled out at one time and it's over. They still want people to keep getting these shots, they want to roll out more shots, and so this is something that could just keep on impacting us in different ways as different technologies and different versions of these things are rolled out. So it is. We're still in the fight of awakening people and people educating themselves about this topic, ed. Any final thoughts as we wrap up the program?

Speaker 2: 27:44

Yeah, so, look, things are in flux. It's going to get worse before it gets better. But you don't want to have fear. You want to keep yourself as healthy as possible, establish networks of like-minded people and try to live your life. But don't be in fear and don't freak out when you see things go south. The economy is going to go south. There'll probably be a war at some point, because war is how you solve deflation.

Speaker 2: 28:08

There may be another variant, scare. There's rumblings that they're going to try to roll out COVID mandates again in the fall. So you just got to keep your head. That's the election variant. Yeah, and while someone named it BS.247, I like that. The key is, if you didn't, if you complied last time just to get along, and now you know what this is you can't comply this time. If there's new mask mandates, I will be walking everywhere without a mask and I'll say call the cops, and the cops will not be able to respond. If we enough of us do that, the cops won't even want to deal with this nonsense because they don't want to do it anyway, even they don't want to use a mask.

Speaker 2: 28:57

No, On Maui we had an outdoor mask mandate and no, but I never complied with that and the cops didn't care because they didn't sign up to become the mask police. It's beneath them.

Speaker 1: 29:13

So true, ed. Thank you so much for doing what you're doing pro bono for the time being and just spreading the word in these interviews. I'm going to put a link in the description below. People can explore your book on Amazon. If you want to get my breaking news updates, you can go to Sean Morgan reportcom. God bless all you Patriots. See you next time.

Speaker 2: 29:31

Thanks, Sean.
