Big Pharma Will COLLAPSE Under the Weight of Its Own Evil — Ed Dowd Interview · Man in America Podcast

• 0:01
  Seth Holehouse: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Man in America. I'm your host Seth Hullhouse. So today I'll be speaking with Edward Dowd, former BlackRock executive who's been on the front lines exposing the data and information surrounding what's really happening with these vaccines. But before we get started, make sure you're following me on social media at man in America. And also every pod every show I do is also a podcast.
• 0:22
  So go to your favorite podcast app and search for man in America, and you'll find me there. Alright, folks. Let's dive right in. Alright, Edward. Thank you so much for joining me here today.
• 0:32
  It is such an honor to have you here on the show.
• 0:36
  Ed Dowd: Thanks for having me on. I appreciate your time, and thank you so much for getting the word out.
• 0:42
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. Absolutely. It's it's it's very important. So let's let's first just dive into the the kind of bigger picture of what your work has been, which I think a lot of is culminated into the release of your book, right, Cause Unknown, which for those of you that are watching, I highly recommend getting this book because it's really it's taking a lot of that data that you've pulled together and putting it into a very easy to understand book. So it's a very important book.
• 1:07
  So what are you know, I think that a lot of folks that are watching have seen probably a lot of your interviews. And but before we jump in, I guess, maybe can you give us just a little bit of your your background? I know you were with BlackRock and with with the hedge fund. So can you give us just a brief background of yourself and what kind of led you into this this kind of work you're doing now?
• 1:30
  Ed Dowd: Sure. So I graduated from Notre Dame in 1989 and went right to Wall Street, worked for a firm called HSBC, which is Hong Kong Shanghai Bank. And I was a fixed income salesperson in Chicago. And basically I spent five years there as a young man entertaining clients and trying to sell them bonds. And I learned about the credit markets, interest rate cycles, economics, currencies and how Wall Street kind of makes the sausage from a fixed income perspective.
• 2:04
  And the sausage is made basically to create what's called an asymmetric information gap. The people who create the bonds know more about the bonds and the buyers, and that's how you make your money. And so that's what I that was my first introduction into asymmetric information gap. And over time, that's what Wall Street does. It creates products, exotic products that the pricing is harder and harder to figure out.
• 2:29
  That's what derivatives are. And that's how you make money. You have information that others don't have. And in my career, after that stint at HSBC, I went back to business school at Indiana University, went to DLJ, Donaldson Lupkin and Gen Ret, which was a investment bank equity research shop. And I was on the sell side as an electric utility analyst from 'ninety seven through 'ninety nine.
• 2:56
  And I saw the .com fraud go down. And right down the hall for me were young men my age making $1,000,000 a year. Their boss is making $10.20. And that was in electric utilities making nowhere near that, but working just as hard. And what happened in that fraud?
• 3:15
  Well, it was a lack of integrity. And there used to be a process in investment banks called the due diligence process where, you know, before a company would be initially public offered, they would make sure it had something called revenues and cash flows and strange things like that.
• 3:33
  Seth Holehouse: Complex business ideas.
• 3:35
  Ed Dowd: Yeah. Yeah. And then in the .com boom, we were issuing companies with nothing more than eyeballs. That was the metric used back then. I don't know if you remember that, but there were companies that were IPO ed that had negative if they had revenues at all, they had losses.
• 3:56
  And the metric was eyeballs, and it was going to be this wonderful new company that was going to take over the world. Well, 90% of the .com IPOs went to zero. And so that was my first inkling. And I went up to Boston to work at a firm called Independence Investments, where I became a tech analyst. Because of my just I think just my natural skepticism and makeup and knowledge of history, I was a big reader of history.
• 4:24
  I knew that things went in cycles. I saw the fraud that was unfolding before that whole thing blew up. And I parlayed that into a job at BlackRock as a portfolio manager, where I spent ten years picking stocks, growth stocks, and we took the assets from 2,000,000,000 under management to 14,000,000,000 through a combination of performance and what we call asset gathering, selling our performance. And I was able to steer the fund through the financial crisis the best we could. We lost money, but we lost a lot less money because I saw again another fraud because of my fixed income background.
• 5:04
  Even though I was in equities at the time, I saw how I knew how the guts of the system worked and I knew that this was a fraud unfolding. And so you could say I've seen too many mass formation psychosis, one in the .com era. And this was relegated to Wall Street and wealthy individuals. But I've seen I've seen like insanity. This is my third time now seeing it, but I saw it on Wall Street and then it was only money.
• 5:31
  Now it's disability and death. And, you know, you roll forward. I moved to my left BlackRock in twenty eleven, twelve, became an entrepreneurial, came to Maui with my the lovely mother of my children. We're now divorced. But she's a great mom and raised my family here.
• 5:49
  And, you know, when COVID, of us after the great financial crisis, we're looking for the end of what they were doing because they decided to solve a debt problem with a debt problem. So the can was kicked down the road. And we and many of us on Wall Street are shocked at how long this has lasted. But, you know, in 2019, we saw the beginnings of the end of the sovereign debt bubble. There was a overnight repo crisis.
• 6:19
  That's overnight money lending at the Fed. Short term interest rates exploded. The guts of the system looked like it was going to implode. There was a slowdown globally in economic growth. And then mysteriously, COVID appeared and gave central banks and politicians an excuse to, undercover of COVID, print unprecedented amounts of money and spend political capital and dollars to hand individuals to kind of keep this thing going for another two years.
• 6:48
  We're in the process of that unwinding. And it's going to be it's going to be devastating. We're going into a recession in Q1 and Q2 that's already baked into the cake. So, you know, when the vaccine was introduced, I thought everybody would think like me naively. I didn't realize that military grade SIOP would be employed to do this and or mandates.
• 7:14
  But my thinking was this. It's experimental, novel technology. It hadn't been tried on humans. It was under Operation Warp Speed, which to me sounds like a disaster. I don't care what political party implemented it.
• 7:28
  It sounded stupid to me. And I also knew from my background on Wall Street because, you know, even though I wasn't a health care analyst, I had health care analysts working for me. I knew it took seven to ten years for a vaccine to be properly tested. So my my go to default was, well, I'm not taking this crazy thing. I'll wait.
• 7:49
  I did not realize the extent to which this would be shoved down our throats, the deception, the lies, the censorship and whatnot. And I started hearing anecdotally in the early rollout of the vaccine campaign, mysterious injuries close to the vaccination deaths of uncles and not my uncle, but other friends' uncles and friends mysteriously dying. And then, of course, the sudden athletic deaths that were popping up all over the place. So I knew something was up because mathematically that should be happening. And then when the mandates came, I lost my mind and said, I'm not living in this world.
• 8:28
  I'm a big believer in freedom and autonomy of bodily sovereignty. So I started getting active on Maui in the mandate protests. By the grace of God, I was kind of hooked up with Doctor. Malone. He came here and became affiliated with him and he kind of got my I was already very active on Vocal on Twitter calling out this nonsense and calling it as one of the first people on Wall Street to call the Pfizer trials of fraud.
• 8:55
  And I got elevated media wise and my journey took off. And I knew that eventually if the government was going to cover this up, it would show up in other databases. And I first started looking at insurance company data, funeral home data. Then we went back to the CDC data. Now I have a team that I hooked up with this June.
• 9:13
  We started a hedge fund, two Ph. D. Physicists who are brilliant. And we now launched the Humanity Project, which is on our website, Financetechologies.com, which is PHI, not instead of the app. And on that on that website, you can find all the excess mortality data for The UK, most of Europe, The US.
• 9:36
  We did Australia recently. We're working on Canada. And basically, it's it tells the same story. There was a mix shift from old to young, mostly old people with comorbidities died in 2020. And then all of a sudden, excess mortality took off across the board for younger age cohorts.
• 9:53
  And also, did an analysis of disability data. And when you really looked at the data from the group life policies done by the Society of Actuaries and the disability data, separate data set, what we found is that it was detrimental to your health to be employed in '21 and '22, to the point where the math is undeniable at this point. It's either I'm right and it's the vaccines or I'm not right and there's some tragic new virus spreading that only affects those who are able-bodied and employed. But what you do need to know, if you don't agree with me, which at this point I'm 100% convicted and the data suggests that I'm right, you need to know this at the very least. The health authorities and global governments don't want you to know that this is going on and they're covering it up.
• 10:41
  So why would you cover up something that's this disastrous? So that's where we are. We're in the greatest, in my humble opinion, the greatest fraud, the greatest cover up I've ever seen. And the problem is, and I talked about this from the beginning of my background, Wall Street operates on asymmetric information gaps. Well, globally, we have an asymmetric information gap where there are 10 to 15% of us in the globe that know what's going on.
• 11:08
  The rest of the folks don't. And even Wall Street, most a lot of people on Wall Street took these jobs. They were fooled, too. So this is this is the greatest tragedy I've ever seen. And my goal in writing the book is to establish that first it's true.
• 11:24
  I leave out a lot of the who and why because that can't a lot of people don't want to look at how evil this may have been or how confident this may have been. But what I want to establish is it's true. And then you can go to wherever you want on the who and why. I speculate on the who and why, but we took that out of the book. It was in the book, but we cut it.
• 11:45
  And the book is primarily geared towards the marginal mind, the family member who thinks you're crazy. I'm a Wall Street guy. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm the guy that has made a living off of being right before the rest of the herd. If you want to call that a conspiracy theory, be my guess.
• 12:02
  But this time, your life and the lives of your children are at risk. So what I'm trying to get the message, I want the vaccination program to stop, and at the very least convince people to stop taking boosters if you've already been vaccinated. So that's the background and why I'm here.
• 12:18
  Seth Holehouse: Sounds like you've found a deeper mission with what you're doing. And it's very important work because this is a life or death situation. It's not a, you know, oh, my body, my choice, or it's not, you know, something that it's literally, you know, people being like you mentioned, a military grade SIOP that's not just leading to people believing a false narrative or, you know, watching their news program, believing everything you're saying. It's actually guiding their medical decisions, and it's getting them to put things into their body that are statistically showing grave amounts of harm, death, you know, disability, etcetera. So in terms of the the data that you you've seen recently, what are we looking at in terms of the current statistics of death and disability in here in America?
• 13:06
  Ed Dowd: Oh, the numbers are grim. We don't get into coming up with a number of deaths caused by the vaccine, but there's been estimates of six hundred thousand plus over the last almost two years now. And but what we can do is look at disabilities, which also inform us that something else drastic is going on. So we're looking we're releasing today some even deeper dives into disability data. Got back on Twitter yesterday.
• 13:41
  I'll be putting it on Twitter and GETR. But the bottom line is this. Since the vaccination rollout, the disability let's just talk disabilities, which is and it's a pure database. It's US Bureau of Labor Statistics, not associated with any health department or anything. It's a survey done monthly.
• 14:01
  These are the people that bring the non farm payroll report employment number. In their series of questions, they also ask about disability. Are you disabled or is someone in your house disabled and unable to work? And it's statistically imputed every month. And prior to COVID, it was running around 19 to $3,029,000,000 to $30,000,000 for the prior four years, up and down, up and down, kind of just trending sideways.
• 14:31
  Around February of twenty twenty one, it started taking off and then it really took off in May. So something happened between May and February and May of twenty twenty one. Well, what's the only thing that changed? Well, vaccines. And then it really started taking off after May with the mandates.
• 14:49
  And so here are the numbers now. As of September of twenty twenty two, we hit a high of thirty three point two million. So that's depending on where you start, twenty nine or '30 million to the four point two or three point two million people additionally disabled in the country, total population. And what you need to know about this is that rate of change was statistically significant. We saw a year over year rate of change in the disability rate for the whole population.
• 15:15
  It was a three sigma event, three standard deviations, which is something that only happens zero point zero three percent of the time. On Wall Street, that's what we call a signal. And if that was a stock price, that would be a breaking of the trend. Something's happening. And in my old job, I would see that ticker symbol.
• 15:35
  I'd say, what was the company? What did they do? Let's buy some first and figure it out later because something's changed. So that was my gut. That's why I was a good portfolio manager.
• 15:44
  I didn't need all the evidence to get on a trend. You want to get on the trend early. Well, this is a new trend, and it's devastating. And when you break down the data, you can break it down between employed, the total population, the civilian labor force, which is civilian labor force is about 165,000,000. The actual employed is about 100,000,000 in this country, people with jobs that are actually showing up at the moment.
• 16:11
  And you can look at then those not in labor force. And what we found was that those who are employed experienced an increase in disability rate of about twenty six percent. The total population was eleven percent. Now why is that strange? Because employed people are generally healthier than unemployed or the general population because you have a lot of the older folks are retired out of the labor force.
• 16:38
  Then you've got children who are generally healthy, only die accidentally. But in general, when you're showing up to work every day and making it, you've got a general level of health. Disabilities went off the hook for this group. And we've done a little deeper dive analysis lately. We looked at those not in labor force.
• 16:58
  And we found that they're the healthiest amongst us. And these are the people that either got booted for not taking the job from a corporation and or voluntarily quit and refused the job. Their disability rate went up four percent. And when we compare the disability, we have a new analysis. Rate of new disabilities starting in February of 'twenty one to November of 'twenty two.
• 17:24
  So for the non I'm looking at my chart right now. Not in labor force 16 to 64, they experienced a 0.21 rate of new disabilities. Those employed 16 to 64 were the worst, one point one eight percent increase in written due disability. So relative to not in labor force, those employed were up five fifty three percent. And this is a big number.
• 17:48
  Now let's go to the numbers. As of November of this year, that's one point seven million people in the employed workforce got disabled. That's a huge number. Think about it. I said it was about three point two million, so about half are the employed.
• 18:08
  So something is going on with the employed people of our country. I think it's the vaccines. I said this to Senator Ron Johnson a couple weeks ago, and I said to him, this is a national security issue.
• 18:21
  Seth Holehouse: And now for a quick word from our sponsor. Folks, the world is going through a process that experts are calling dedollarization, and China and Russia are leading the charge. So what's this mean? You see, the US dollar is a fiat currency, meaning it isn't backed by anything of value. The only thing that gives our dollar value is its demand around the world, which is primarily because of its petrodollar status, meaning that nations are forced to buy and sell oil in USD.
• 18:48
  But now the world is losing faith in the dollar. It's very close to losing its status as the petrodollar and world reserve currency, especially now that the oil producing nations are abandoning The US for China, Russia, and other BRICS nations. But what happens if the dollar loses that sacred status? Well, the value of our dollars, our life savings, IRAs, four zero one k, stocks, bank accounts could literally be wiped out in a matter of months, weeks, or even overnight. And to make things worse, Biden and the Fed are currently working on a secret project Hamilton, a new form of digital currency that'll obliterate your freedom and privacy.
• 19:27
  Now look, folks, I'm not a financial adviser, so please do your own research. But believe that now more than ever, it's a good time to consider transferring at least a portion of your wealth into physical gold and silver, real world assets that have survived every currency collapse and every empire collapse in history. But I wanna be really clear with you. You don't buy gold and silver to get rich. You do it to protect and preserve your wealth and freedom.
• 19:53
  Look. There's a reason why nations like Russia are backing their currency with gold and why the elites and banks are buying up physical gold and silver like we've never seen before. But they don't want you to know that. They want you to lose everything when the dollar crashes and be forced into their digital currency slave system. So now's the time to protect your financial future.
• 20:13
  And for this, I'm confident recommending doctor Kirk Elliott. Kirk has two PhDs and is an incredible Christian patriot who's dedicated to helping protect your financial future. Look, Kirk is who I use. He's who my friends and my family use. I trust him.
• 20:28
  You can buy gold and silver directly, or you transfer your IRA into physical gold and silver with zero taxes or penalties. So to learn more about this, open up a new tab right now and go to goldwithseth.com or you can call (720) 605-3900 to speak to someone right now. Again, that's (720) 605-3900 or goldwithseth.com. The phone number and the link are also in the show description.
• 20:59
  Ed Dowd: Now normally, if this was occurring, you would think that there would be a scramble to figure out why. There is no scramble. And you know as well as I do, there's all sorts of mysterious media articles popping up talking about how sweeteners are now causing sudden death and or cold weather. We now have a new term that we never had before 2021 called SADS. It's it's the it's it's it's with sudden infant death syndrome, which mysteriously appeared when the vaccines vaccines went off the hook in '86 when they get child when they get immunity.
• 21:41
  We now have sad sudden adult death syndrome. This is not a diagnosis. This is a term. You got to think about propaganda. It's a term that describes the situation.
• 21:53
  It's not a medical cause. So, you know, what's the cause of this? Well, it's the vaccines. And if you have another explanation, I'd love to hear it. Haven't heard one yet that makes any sense to me.
• 22:05
  Seth Holehouse: What are we seeing? I know that there's been the numbers with millennials have been especially striking. I mean, you know, obviously, the older you get, the higher your rate of death is. Right? The younger you get, the lower in healthy society.
• 22:19
  And I know that some of the numbers with millennials in particular who are oftentimes part of that workforce have been astounding. So what kind of increase are we seeing in the death reporting from people in the millennial bracket?
• 22:33
  Ed Dowd: Well, let me use numbers that aren't mine. Let's use the Society of Actuaries. There's a there's a insurance life insurance has got a couple of different facets to it. There's whole life insurance you can buy. You can buy a $5,000,000 policy.
• 22:48
  You can buy term. You can buy whole life. These are for generally wealthy individuals. There's something you get when you join a company like a Fortune 500 or a mid sized company. It's called group life policy.
• 22:59
  I got these every time I switched jobs. This was part of my onboarding process. I would sign my I pick a health care plan, sign that. Then I would sign my group life, death and disability policy and I would sign my name and then I name a beneficiary should I die. And when I was single with my mom and dad, when I got married, it was my spouse.
• 23:22
  This is kind of what this is kind of a throwaway benefit. It's a very good business for the group life insurance people because they've proven statistically in prior studies that this group is generally much more healthy than the general US population, so much so that they die at a rate of thirty to forty percent of the general population in any given year. So meaning in a given year, there's X amount of people that die. This group dies at a third the rate of the general population. So they're healthy.
• 23:52
  Intuitively, why does that make sense? Well, to get the benefit, you have to be employed at the time with the company. So if you quit or get fired, you don't get it. So just the act of showing up means you've got a certain level of health. You also get great health care options.
• 24:12
  So your access to health care is quite high because of your insurance policy, your health insurance policy. And you're better educated. So you tend to have these people tend to work out, try to eat well for the most part. So this group shouldn't be experiencing death. So what happened in 2021?
• 24:31
  In 2021, ages 25 to 64 experienced forty percent excess claims or excess mortality. This is a survey done by the Society of Actuaries that came out in August. It's in my book. The general US population in 2021 experienced thirty two percent excess mortality. So you have to ask yourself this question.
• 24:53
  This is a group that's generally healthier than the overall US population, but that relationship flipped on its head in 2021 and continues in 2022. You have to ask yourself why. The only thing I can come up with is forced mandates and vaccinations. And when you look at the Society of Actuary data in 2021, especially for the millennials ages 25 to 44, you can see that they have a table and they break it down by age. And it's like a heat map and there's red in the third quarter of twenty twenty one.
• 25:28
  That's August, September, October. What happened then? Well, we know there were mandates. A lot of corporations led by Wall Street started implementing them in the summer. Then we had Joe Biden's executive order on September 9 that brought everybody over.
• 25:44
  And their excess mortality or the excess claims as identified by the Society of Actuaries for the whole insurance industry in The US or 80% of the revenues was the survey was 84%. Eighty four % into that quarter. Josh Sterling and I, my partner in the insurance industry, worked for Stanford Bernstein, and I came up with that number for the whole U. S. Population, for the millennials in March.
• 26:11
  So two dudes on the Internet figured it out from the CDC data that there's something happened to the millennials. Same number from the side of actuaries. So that's that's why I don't even talk about our numbers anymore because I got their numbers and it's not me. So the evidence is verified by someone who, know, their job is to get this right and price their policies appropriately. So those are the numbers.
• 26:35
  And there was an event that occurred, a temporal event that brought forward this rise. And it was running around 35% before those months, and then it took off up to eighty four percent. So the naysayers always tell me, well, Ed, there were suicides, there were missed cancer screenings, there was drug overdoses. Well, if you're a fentanyl or heroin user, you don't keep your job very long. So I don't buy that.
• 27:04
  I don't believe the millennials, especially in the group life subset, decided to have a suicide pact and decided to opt themselves en masse in those months. And also missed cancer screening treatments for ages 25 to 44 makes no sense. I don't know about I'm 55. I've never had one, so I don't even know what this is. I don't go in for cancer screenings.
• 27:25
  Usually you feel like crap. You go in and they run a bunch of tests and then that's how they find out. You don't, as a healthy person, go pay for get a cancer screening treatment. I just it's not one of those things. So all those arguments fall by the wayside.
• 27:41
  Let's go. Let's roll forward to what we're seeing now in the group life subset. So obviously there was a pull forward of excess claims and deaths in the third quarter. I suspected the number would come down and it did. And as of Q2 of this year, for millennials ages 25 to 44, in the group life subset, as reported by Society of Actuaries, twenty three percent excess mortality still.
• 28:05
  Now you say, oh, that's great. It's down from eighty four. Well, this thing should be trending back to normal already because of quote unquote miracle vaccines and what have you. And this virus is now a common cold, the Omicron variant. So something is mysteriously going on.
• 28:24
  So I was happy to see the numbers come down, but I also have whistleblowers who tell me they're seeing the third quarter numbers for society of actuaries, and it looks like it might reaccelerate to thirty percent to thirty five percent. And to put some math on this, Scott Davidson, the CEO of One America, said in January of twenty twenty two that they were seeing 40%, which actually that was his company. Well, it turned out that was the whole industry was seeing 40%. He didn't know that at the time. He said a 10% increase in excess mortality in this age group, 25 to 44, was a once in a two hundred year flood or a three standard deviation event.
• 29:01
  Forty percent is off the charts. So this is devastatingly tragic. And then it hasn't stopped and it continues. And I'm afraid it's going to reaccelerate because we don't know the medium and long term effects of these jabs. So there is potential for these things to kick in later and disable you and or kill you, unfortunately, even if you don't get boosted.
• 29:28
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. Even with some of the information I saw on myocarditis, obviously, we've seen a massive uptick in that. But they're looking at that and saying, I forget what it was exactly, but I think after about six years, like eighty percent or so of the people that have myocarditis don't make it past a certain timeline. So it's it's a very fatal prognosis. And so, yeah, it's like, know, considering the amount of vaccines that went out and were put into people's arms around the world, I I think that we're just at the early stages of this.
• 29:59
  And also, mean, I interviewed Doctor. Flower recently about the rise in cancers and how they're seeing this this huge spike in cancers and how they're seeing, you know, people that are cancer free, younger folks that are getting, like, very aggressive tumors, and they're dying within a couple of months. So it's just the the long term effects of this, I think, are gonna be are just frightening.
• 30:23
  Ed Dowd: Now, I also don't want to scare people because a pure mindset can disable you mentally, which will then lead to bad health outcomes. The good news is there's something called the FLCC. Go to FLCC.com. There are ways to mitigate what's going on. Also, the good news is a lot of people got jabs that weren't stored properly because this was rolled out so fast it had to be at minus 71 degrees.
• 30:52
  If it slapped out for more than two hours, you got goop in your arm, which is good. Also, was a lot of misadministration of this vaccine. It came in five dose vials and they didn't shake it. You got and you got mostly saline solution at the top. So that's why I think there would have been a lot more deaths if this thing had been done, if this had been rolled out properly and training had occurred.
• 31:20
  The good news is it was rolled out so fast They screwed it up and it may have saved a lot of lives. So don't freak out. But what I also want to say is act as if you might have gotten the stuff and look at the FLCC protocols to mitigate the damage and heal yourself. Secondly, is a don't get the boosters at a minimum. Stop getting boosters, because if you get a booster, you get you're getting another chance of getting the real stuff this time.
• 31:52
  So stop getting it. Go to FLCC. I'm not affiliated with this, so I had no monetary ties. I just think these are the guys I know and they were on this early. So it's also good information on if you get COVID, how to treat it with ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and all the vitamins and the regimen.
• 32:12
  There's hope. Don't freak out. Don't live in fear, but don't get any more boosters is my advice. Even though I'm not a doctor, the data says don't get a booster.
• 32:23
  Seth Holehouse: That's yeah. That's it's true. So looking at and this is what you know, I I always appreciate when I watch your interviews, especially on Steve Bannon, because you're bringing the the background of more of a finance guy merging with what's happening with these the statistics from health insurance and deaths and everything. But also, you know, especially, you know, looking back at your course of history with, say, BlackRock, for instance, you see things at a very global level. And and this is all something that that I'm, you know, really kinda honing in on because what I see is that while the vaccine is a massive it's a massive change to our our human race, since it's it's significant, There's also a lot of other things happening at once.
• 33:03
  You know, we have the fertilizer shortages coming out of the war in Ukraine, which I think that we're gonna see very significant food shortages in 2023. I think right now, we're still eating a lot of the food from the previous year. So you have the food shortages. You have the energy crisis in Europe, you know, being cut off from Russian gas. But then you also have the, you know, the sod the debt crisis, right, and the the printing and printing and printing of money.
• 33:29
  At the same time you have the Fed, you know, raising rates. It seems like they don't really have much of a plan on stopping. Right? So how do you you know, you mentioned the first and second quarters of next year being recession. How does that play out and what you're seeing coming out of the pipeline?
• 33:47
  Ed Dowd: Well, so we solved the debt problem with more debt, and we kicked the can down the road twelve years, basically. And we never solved the fundamental problems. The problem is it's a debt based monetary system. And once you understand that, you understand and where the Federal Reserve is the world currency of the world. And once you understand how fiat money systems work, they need especially debt based ones, they need constant credit creation.
• 34:17
  And we've had periods of credit contraction, but they're very brief and short. And then we go to new levels of money printing and debt issuance. So to keep the game rolling, you need constant creation. The problem is the dollar has been after February, there was a phenomenon where the interest rates were low, and then it got low again after the great financial crisis. So global governments and a lot of foreign companies started issuing debt in dollars, dollar denominated debt.
• 34:53
  And they did that because it was cheap at the time. And that kept the system going. So right now, the dollar reserve system is in every four corners of the globe. It's got nowhere to go. So without growth, it eventually implodes on itself.
• 35:08
  And that's where we are. We're in the implosion period. And one of the signposts for that is a rising dollar relative to other currencies, because as these companies and countries start to run into problems, the demand for dollars goes up. When the dollar is getting slaughtered globally relative to other currencies, that's good. It's bad long term.
• 35:32
  When you devalue the dollar, means that there's credit growth. When the dollar is going up, it means credit destruction. So this is the endgame. And the dollar is going to fail up. And there'll be a new and there will be a Bretton Woods for I think there was I can't remember where we are.
• 35:47
  But Bretton Woods is when we met in the 70s and we linked it to the petrodollar. There's another one coming. And there's all this talk you hear now of Central Bank Digital Currency, which is the endgame. Once that happens and they link it to all your credit cards and your banks and social credit scores, it's a slave system. So this is the great reset.
• 36:08
  They talk about the great reset. The great reset is a monetary reset, and it's going to take the form of chaos in financial markets, job losses, food shortages. The vaccine disabilities are rolling into that as well. We just have less people to do things. And we're going to see currency wars and kinetic wars.
• 36:32
  This is just the way it works. The system if I was the devil himself, I wanted to have a system that created cycles of war and poverty and death, this is the system I'd create.
• 36:43
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. That's a good point. It is a system he did create, you know, looking around us. So, know, and I I like how earlier said, look, you know, don't live in fear. There's there's a bright side to this.
• 36:55
  There's a lot of reasons for optimism. And so right now, I'm kind of towards the middle of the end of reading the book by Peter Zihan, The End of the World is Just the Beginning, which is I find it's a fascinating book looking at really just the bigger picture geopolitics. And and he keeps hammering home the point that we are at the end of the the stage of globalization and that the the globalized system is really gonna be collapsing in the next couple of years. And, you know, he talks a lot about that and how we'll be, you know, returning back to much more of a local way of doing things. So, you know, with this great reset, you know, they have their idea that they're gonna, you know, collapse the currency, you know, empty out our bank accounts, give us a UBI, put it you know, tie it to a digital credit system similar to China, and they're gonna have their their, you know, kind of Doctor.
• 37:43
  Evil level technocracy over the entire world. But I also am seeing that, you know, and and from listening to some of the discussions you've had and also my own research, that we're also I think that we're entering into a phase where we're gonna see a massive shift going back to the much more traditional ways of living for human beings. I mean, even looking at farming and homesteading or homeschooling, which are all seeing massive spikes across the country. And so do you think that that we are are you do you agree with the assessment that we're at the stage of kind of the collapse of the global system and that we're gonna going back to a much more localized system? And if so, what do think that looks like?
• 38:24
  Ed Dowd: Yeah. So I've been I did an interview yesterday and I've been harping on this. Globalism is done. It's in the process of collapsing. So if you're of the opinion you want to enter global system because you're not fit to the new trend, you're basically going in a system that's already over.
• 38:43
  The new system is going to be local, and it's going to it's going to take on different forms depending upon the location you're in. But how do you get involved in it? You find like minded people that know that the jig is up. You have to have the same values. You start creating human I call it human connections rather than transactional based connections.
• 39:03
  And you're going to have each other's back because there's going to be a period of turbulence and roughness. And all of us have skill sets to offer. You know, I'm I'm not a mechanic. I can't fix things. But I have mechanics on Maui that I'm friends with.
• 39:17
  And I got them, they got me. And we're all going to have to figure out a way to move forward. And what I'm trying to do is first make people aware of this great tragedy. But the hedge fund that we're creating is designed to use this current system to then create a new system. And so we know that there's a transition period.
• 39:38
  A lot of our profits are going to be rolled into not homes, yachts and nonsense. It's going be rolled into the Humanity Project, other forms of alternative health care, a crypto project. We're looking at ways to transact away from the digital currency. So you just got to be an entrepreneur and you got to prepare for the worst, but don't get in fear about it. And as long as you've got people in a community of like minded individuals, you know, you're going to be fine.
• 40:07
  Your material if you're tied to material things and a lifestyle, you got to let that go. It's going to get weird and different. But it's going to be better because we're going to have human connections we've never had before. The world we were living in was not exactly the most healthy. It was based on using other people in transactions.
• 40:29
  And we're going to have a different kind of system now. And I don't know what that looks like, but it's exciting. It gives me hope. And I'm meeting great people, people that I don't have to worry about their values because they're already there with me. I mean, in the old days, you know, you really didn't know who someone was until they showed you their cards through their actions just by being affiliated with us and your actions already speak louder than your words.
• 40:51
  So it's a great it's a it's both tragic and a great time to be alive. That's kind of where I am. That's why I have a lot of hope.
• 40:59
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah. I've had a very similar experience too where it's the first time in my life I've ever experienced this where, you know, I'll meet people. And when you understand that they're on the same page of you with regards to just freedom and, you know, medical tyranny and what's happening in the world, it's almost like you you you've instantly met a a family member, you know, that it's a brother or a sister. You're you're that close to them. Right.
• 41:22
  And it's also because perhaps we're the ones that have become the outcast of society, the ones that are being mocked and ridiculed. You meet that fellow traveler and there's just there's this kinship. And and I also I agree with you. I feel like that what's happening right now is that we're we're building these bonds that are much more human connections as as we're kind of stepping away from, you know, the modern systems that are meant to enslave us. And so, you know, from your perspective, you know, if we're looking at, you know, the the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the the game plan of the Great Reset, you know, it looks like their goal really is a Chinese style social credit system around the world where they've got full control over what, you know, medications were required to get, everything is being done.
• 42:06
  If you wanna get your your digital token to buy your bread, the digital bread breadline, you have to conform. You know, that's their idea of of, you know, I think how they want to rule the world. But do you think that that's gonna fail? Like, do you think that the great reset and the plans of the elites is is actually going to succeed, or do you think it's actually going to fail?
• 42:27
  Ed Dowd: I think it's going to fail. And, you know, those of us who know what's going on have known what's going on for a while, but we felt alone and isolated. Now with the COVID, it's woken up way more people and connected a lot of us. And so there's been evil in the world for a long time that's been hidden. And those of us had more discernment, consents, something really went off the rails.
• 42:53
  And for me, in my professional life, after the great financial crisis, when I saw what was going on and not one banker went to jail, I said something is off. And I didn't have the whole picture that I have now, but there's been this slow corruption of many, many people. And from every great evil comes a great good. So we've been in evil for a long time. It just kind of showed its face the last couple of years.
• 43:18
  And coincidentally, all these characters, these Bond villain characters, they had a coming out party during COVID. The WEF. I don't know who these people were. Klaus Schwab, Harari, Trudeau, Gates. I mean, these people are having a coming out party.
• 43:35
  So evil has shown its face. It's been there for a while. And I'm truly a believer in cycles and God. And from every great evil comes great goods. That's where I am.
• 43:48
  Seth Holehouse: So, know, looking forward to the future, you actually feel a sense of optimism and hope that, you know, we're gonna be entering into something that, you know, we haven't known before. And then that's and I agree with you in that perspective, because, you know, I'm looking at it and a lot of people think that, oh my goodness, in the past couple of years, the world became so evil. And my view is that no, actually, evil, the world was that evil before. It's just that now everyone has showed their cards. And now we're seeing, you know, you're seeing it's it's like, okay, is New Zealand a land of freedom and and beautiful hobbit land?
• 44:21
  Or is it actually being run by, you know, psychopaths? And you can see what's happening as the real people are, you know, showing your cards, like the coming out party, as you mentioned. But I also think that, you know, what awaits us in the future is, like, something that we've never experienced. Because if you when you trace back and you look at what's happening, you look at, you know, big pharma, look at big government, you look at the election process, everything, the education process, you can see that they've been working on this plan. Even looking at Hollywood, they've been controlling all these mechanisms of mechanisms of our society for, decades and decades, if not centuries.
• 44:57
  You know, there's been this level of control over us. And so, you know, I was born into it. I was born into this system. And so I haven't known what life is like without that system. And so that also gives me hope for the future because I think that though it feels really dark right now, it's almost like when you're getting cancer removed from you, right, it's the process is very painful, especially the the more big pharma process of doing it.
• 45:22
  It's a very painful process, but we have to rip that tumor out. And if you're lucky, you're left with a healthy human body on the other side.
• 45:32
  Ed Dowd: Yeah. Know. I went through my own personal journey of awakening and it happened in twenty eleven, twelve. I had you know, was on Wall Street working long hours, not living in the present moment, thinking too much about the future. And I developed mild anxiety and depression, made the mistake of seeing a therapist who then referred me to a psychiatrist.
• 45:54
  And that's when my hell began. And I started taking these pills that don't work and actually cause problems. And I became clinically depressed. And by the grace of God, there was a psychiatrist in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I lived, who pulled me aside and said, Ed, you're a walking zombie. You don't need these drugs.
• 46:17
  His whole practice was predicated on taking people off these drugs because he knew that they were scams. And he told me that there's no such thing as a chemical imbalance. That's a marketing tool used by pharma. And sure enough, a paper came out this summer that actually said that proved there is no such thing. And that these drugs are nothing more than I call them murder suicide pills.
• 46:41
  And once I delve deeply into pharma, that's when a bigger part of my awakening started coming. And I and I kind of came I got sick. I got spirituality. God, I took care of my health. You know, so it's mind, spirit, body.
• 47:00
  You take care of all three of those. And, you know, I learn how to live in the present moment. I cured myself. I'm not in anything. I'm not depressed.
• 47:08
  And I kind of came out of the matrix. I was like Neo popping out of the pie. And once I saw what the world really was, this is what it's why I'm able to do what I'm able to do today, because I had to go through a lot of pain. And for those of you who are just awakening to this, you don't need to go through depression and anxiety. What you want to do is get a new mindset.
• 47:28
  The mindset is this. There is there is a God and you're not running the show. And once you realize that there's no fear and don't live in fear, get your internal clock right, And then also understand there's going to be great turbulence and things going on. So give up your material possessions because you might lose them. But as long as you have people and friends, you'll be fine.
• 47:56
  So that's why I'm so hopeful, because I don't care about stuff. You know, I need money to take care of my family and put food on the table. But beyond that, who cares? Right? That's where I am right now.
• 48:10
  And my journey brought me here and that's why I'm at service.
• 48:14
  Seth Holehouse: Now I'm curious, what is it that led you to leaving The United States, going to Maui? Is that's well, I guess, sorry, not necessarily leaving the Mainland, but were always from Maui or did you grow up? It sounds like you grew up more in the Midwest area or
• 48:29
  Ed Dowd: I grew up in Boston and spent time in New York and a lot of time in the Midwest. Lost my Boston accent. I didn't have much one of one to begin with. But I moved to Maui because when I was coming out of my mokus in 2012, 'thirteen, I started that's when I had my awakening and I became hip to I was already aware that something had gone off the rails in the great financial crisis. I started to realize that the end was coming.
• 49:04
  I didn't know when. So it'd be better to be on Maui with a smaller community than near a big city. So I actually moved with the intent of waiting out the storm. I had a plan. Unfortunately, God had a better plan.
• 49:18
  I ended up getting divorced, which is sad. The mother of my children is awesome, but it didn't work. So his plan was different. And that's why I'm in this fight. I had a plan.
• 49:28
  My original plan was just to like shelter in place and what have you, but you can't hide from this. So we all have to fight.
• 49:37
  Seth Holehouse: It's kind of similar to me, actually. I came back to Ohio where I grew up really with the plan of just kind of hunkering down and kind of sheltering in place. It's like, well, that wasn't that wasn't God's plan. And now he's like, okay, you're gonna be doing this. And and now I'm anything but kind of private and hiding somewhere, like, of on the forefront and who knows how many, you know, FBI agents will be watching this interview.
• 50:00
  I mean, if if they're watching, then then thank you for joining us. So what is what are some you seem like a guy that has a really good grasp on a lot of aspects of kind of where we're at and where we're going. What are some more practical bits of advice you can give people that are looking to the future and saying, I'm worried about what's coming. I'm worried about Central Bank digital currency. I'm worried about the, you know, the a new lockdown coming back.
• 50:26
  You look at what's happening in China right now. Who knows what's gonna happen, you know, in 2023. For people that wanna be more prepared or just feel more in control, what are some of the practical points of advice that you have for them?
• 50:40
  Ed Dowd: Well, first control your mind. Don't live in fear. And if you can stay in the present moment as much as possible, enjoy life. I mean, have birthday parties, get married, date, get divorced, whatever. Just live life.
• 50:54
  Live in the present moment. That and stay out of fear. That's the number one thing you can do. Now, that doesn't mean you shouldn't take action. Sure.
• 51:04
  It'd probably be a good idea to have six months of food on hand just in case. It also would behoove you to, if you assets and portfolios, to have some cash on the sidelines to take advantage of what's coming, will be cheaper, cheaper stock prices and bonds. So you know, you'll sleep better at night knowing that, you know, I'm not going to recommend what amount you should go to cash, but that's what I've been telling people the last year and it's been right. And people are like, when do I buy? Well, you buy when you actually are in fear and the world seems like it's going to end.
• 51:43
  That's always when you buy. You buy when there's blood in the streets, as JP Morgan one hundred years ago said. So you can do that. Those are two easy things to do, food. You can most importantly build up your community and kind of have make relationships, make sure that people you've got have your back, and then just kind of set up a kind of an understanding like, yeah, if something happens, your car breaks down and you can't get parts and you have another car, I'll just give you a car to use until you get, you just these kinds of things.
• 52:18
  This community building. And you also have to get out. You have to get off the chair. You can't sit on the in the bleachers and think everyone's going to take care of this for you. You have to like alert other people, try to wake up a marginal mind.
• 52:34
  That's why I wrote the book. It's designed to wake up individuals to what's going on in the reality of the situation. And, you know, you got to be active. Know, there was a psy op a couple of years ago that was run. What was it called?
• 52:49
  QAnon. And you knew it was a sign off because they said, sit back, do nothing, enjoy the show. You have to do the exact opposite of that. Everybody has to take action, whether that's educating people about the dangers of the vaccine or getting involved locally with your school board to push back transhumanism and transgender nonsense. Whatever it is, you have to take action.
• 53:13
  So the days of watching podcasts like yours and doing nothing are over. You gotta watch us for the updates, but you have to take action. That's kind of where I'm at on this. I want everybody to kind of do something.
• 53:27
  Seth Holehouse: No. It's great advice also, and I couldn't feel more similarly aligned with you on that. So we've got about ten more minutes left, and you have a certain window we have to kind of fit into. But one other question I have for you is I know that, you know, right now you have a hedge fund that that you're and you're really looking at what's happening in the world and and seeing what's gonna be emerging in the future as parallel economies are built, etcetera. And for some reason, when you're talking about your experience with the, you know, medication for depression and big pharma, that was a big awakening moment for you.
• 53:56
  And I think that what we're experiencing right now is a lot of people are really seeing how corrupted and actually bad the giant pharmaceutical industry is, the medical industrial complex, etcetera. How do you see that changing? Like, how do you see health care and the health industry and the hospital systems changing? Because once this data, I think, really comes out and you you people can no longer cover up what's happening and people realize that the three letter agencies, the CDC, etcetera, they trusted, were actually were pushing a deadly experimental shot. I think that we're gonna see a mass exodus of that medical system.
• 54:36
  What do you see emerging amidst that?
• 54:40
  Ed Dowd: So it's gonna well, first of all, I predict that the pharmaceutical industry and the biotech industry, not all of the biotech industry, but large portions of these industries are going to collapse because their drugs treat symptoms, not cures. And once that model gets exposed, and it is, no one is going to trust their traditional medicine caretakers anymore. So what's on the other side of this is what's been suppressed, which is holistic medicine, different alternative medicines that treat the whole body, the whole system. And I see kind of a renaissance there and it's going to be local. You're not going be able to scale it, which is a good thing because scale creates corruption.
• 55:32
  It's going to be little practices of healers all over the country like there were before Rockefeller got involved and destroyed that business. Were over 10,000 healing centers in The US at the turn of the century that looked at it from mixing of tinctures and energy healing and all sorts of stuff that just kind of went the way of the dodo bird when they started coming out with the pills. And you can't scale it, but that's a good thing. So I think we're going to see a lot of people getting into healing others that have skills. There'll be training.
• 56:09
  There'll be mentors. There'll be schools where this occurs, and it's going be a renaissance. Is it going to be a phenomenal way to invest and make money? I don't know. I'm going to probably invest in some of these people, but not with the idea that I'm going to like then IPO and turn it into like a gargantuan empire.
• 56:29
  I think that's where we're going. We're going back from centralized health care issuances to individually tailored medicine. Now, does that mean all of Western medicine is bad? No. They do some things great.
• 56:43
  Repairing a broken leg, going in and doing surgical manipulations when they're truly needed, not because you have a sore shoulder. Western medicine has some great things. But we need to combine the best from Western medicine that doesn't look at revenue streams and cash flows and holistic healing. I think that's coming. It's inevitable.
• 57:05
  And there's groups already forming. The FLCC is one of them, and I'm talking to a doctor who is an energy healing, and it's a real thing. He's an osteopath. And these things work. I've employed some of them.
• 57:21
  Seth Holehouse: Oh, it's incredible, actually. I couldn't agree more. What's interesting is I think that a similar situation is gonna emerge with the food industry. Whereas right now, it's, you know, we're going to the local, you know, Kroger or Whole Foods or whatever it is, and you're buying strawberries that were picked, you know, in Mexico or, you know, all over the world where have this this this massive food system. And I think that that is also gonna be changing into something that's much more localized.
• 57:49
  I think that you're gonna see this a huge boom in small family farms coming, you know, crop them up again, you know, farmers markets, CSAs, etcetera, where you just have people taking more control over what they're doing, but doing it in a local way. And I think that that's, like, that's the lesson I'm taking away from all this and that even, you know, going back to the book I mentioned about the the end of the world is just the beginning. His predictions, especially for America, is that America is the land of the plenty. We have so many opportunities here. We have such beautiful opportunities to grow food.
• 58:24
  Our water systems, everything are so healthy here that when the world kind of deglobalizes, I think that those are gonna be a tough time ahead. I do think that especially for the folks that are in America, the resources that we have and the opportunities that are in front of us are gonna allow us to quickly build rebuild a system that I think that we'll look back on this time. And we'll say, look, it doesn't matter how difficult that time period was. It was worth it to get to where we are right now. I
• 58:55
  Ed Dowd: agree. It's just a lot of people, I hope, can have the mental temerity to weather the storm. And you have to shed your old expectations of what, you know, you've been living in the matrix. So your expectations of how your life should be are going to change and embrace it and move on and get as healthy mentally and physically as possible. One thing I mention sometimes is I do a lot of fasting.
• 59:21
  That's free. The medical community doesn't want you to know that. It heals a lot of things. I'm 55 and I've never felt better. In my 30s, I was a train wreck.
• 59:32
  And I ate too much, I drank too much, and I didn't take care of myself. And it definitely affected my mental mood for sure.
• 59:40
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah, I'm actually I've been doing a lot of intermittent fasting as well. And I'm actually just in a couple of weeks starting my very first parasite cleanse. I'm doing a full parasite detox, which I'm excited for.
• 59:54
  Ed Dowd: Yeah, absolutely. Anything that resets your body and it's pretty much free, I'm all for it because God gave us beautiful cleansing machines. And it's no mistake that every major religion talks about fasting. And it's because not only does it clear your mind and get you in conscious contact with God, it heals. So it's a multifaceted method taking care of yourself and your mental health and your spiritual health.
• 1:00:26
  Seth Holehouse: Absolutely. So Edward, before we sign off, where can people follow your work? Where can people follow what you're doing?
• 1:00:34
  Ed Dowd: All right. So I have a personal website called TheyLiedPeopleDie.com. You can order the book there. I also have some information that you can use to convince others. The book is not just for you.
• 1:00:47
  It's for your family member that's not convinced. I wrote it with them in mind. I keep out the who and the why. You can find me on Getter Edward Dowd or on Twitter now after being unbanned yesterday At Dowd Edward, d o w d Edward. And also the Humanity Project is at our company website, financetechnologies.com.
• 1:01:11
  It's spelled P H I instead of F. We chose PHI because that's the symbol for the golden ratio, which is God's law, God's number. So that's where you can find all the excess mortality data. You can take action with that data at your school boards or sue people, whatever you want to do. So multifaceted ways of getting in touch with me and my book, Godspeed, and thank you for your support.
