It’s Easier Than You Think
to Cripple America

Sean Brodrick, Resource Strategist, The Oxford Club
A Note From the Editorial Director: Sean’s column today is scary. Some might think we’re being alarmist. But if anything, Sean’s warnings about America’s security vulnerabilities understate the threats we face. Our Chief Investment Strategist Alexander Green is also worried about the situation. Like Sean, Alex is thinking of ways you can profit, and he’ll unveil his latest recommendation next week to readers of The Oxford Communiqué. It’s a must-own company for investors who understand the world we face.

Sean Brodrick Imagine a world without electricity. Not just for a few days in a limited area, like after a storm. I’m talking about every American across the country unable to conduct ordinary business, heat their homes, access money or keep food fresh – for weeks or even months.

And now imagine this scenario caused not by an act of God, but by terrorists.

It could happen. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) says that terrorists could shut down the U.S. power grid for more than a month by sabotaging just nine of the more than 55,000 electric substations spread across the nation.

Beyond that, there are another 30 crucial facilities that use large transformers to boost voltage over long distances. Most are protected by no more than a chain-link fence. Maybe a security guard if we’re lucky. Taking them out could cripple us.

Scientists Invent Invisibility Cloak (Seriously)Researchers have made a shocking breakthrough involving a new substance that can make objects completely invisible to the naked eye.The scientific journal Nature reports this breakthrough is “a new building block from which to engineer the world.”One tiny company holds the key patents on this substance. And we think its $9 stock could soon skyrocket. Full details here.

This is just some of what would happen:

  • Water would no longer pump into most homes.
  • Food in our homes and supermarkets would spoil.
  • Your computer would not work. Goodbye, Internet.
  • Your phone wouldn’t work. You couldn’t call 911.
  • ATM machines would shut down.
  • Debit cards and credit cards wouldn’t work.
  • No TV. No radio.
  • Gas pumps would stop.

Good thing no one wants to take out our grid, eh?

Well, hold on to your hat. A year ago, snipers opened fire on transformers at a PG&E Corp. power station, near San Jose, Calif.

The snipers knocked out 17 of the big transformers, causing millions of dollars in damage. The attack plunged the region into a blackout. It took utility workers 27 days to make repairs.

    SOCIETY IS EXTREMELY FRAGILE. You have the perma gold bears running around like the
    Fed is god and very little change is always in the cards.

    THE TRUTH IS…..THE CURRENT SYSTEM HAS VERY SMALL ODDS OF SURVIVAL IN ITS…

    PRESENT STATE. The worst of the worst is yet to come as outlined above with Sean.

      Sadly, I agree with you,

    Pretty sensational stuff. None of it will come to pass though. Just a few attacks that Sean suggests would lead to a mindset where the country was in a state of war. Security levels would rise dramatically. Vulnerable facilities would get round the clock monitoring by both the general public and authorities and the bad guys would be running for the hills. No sane country would sponsor such attacks without expecting severe consequences. They are equally vulnerable of course. I really hate these kinds of articles. Like the fluff about FEMA camps and empty railyards with boxcars awaiting the future prisoners of the state. This fear based writing is what sent gold buyers loopy in the first place and set of the prepper trend. Sean knows better though. He has just run out of ideas to discuss why some stocks might be good bets.

    God Word is telling us whats going to happen. The people who think they are wise in the
    world are going to look very very foolish. Play with your own wisdom at your own peril.

      I do agree with that comment, Heavy!

        I certainly hope so. There is nothing greater than eternal wisdom.
        Gods ways are not our ways. His holyness and goodness is beyond
        anything here we can relate to. My real home is waiting for me with
        my true and holy Father whom waits for me in heaven. Very much
        looking forward to it. Fact is all his words and advise are 1000 percent
        true. Thats exciting , not this world. Thats the reason I’m happy. Only
        reason too.
