## Resource

Kevin Freeman traces a 20-year warning that links Moscow conversations, the 2008 financial crisis, and today’s mounting debt and division. He explains how market shocks, short selling, and monetary expansion may fit a broader strategy of economic warfare. The discussion also examines Russia, China, BRICS, gold-backed settlement systems, and the risks of a weakening dollar. A call to action closes the conversation with steps for families and Congress to strengthen financial resilience.
