## Resource

Kerry Lutz and Gregory Mannarino discuss why they believe the financial, political, and media systems are rapidly breaking down — and what individuals can still do to protect themselves before the next major crisis hits. From currency debasement and market manipulation to AI surveillance, stablecoins, and centralized control, they warn that the system is becoming increasingly rigged against the average person. The conversation covers perpetual war, Federal Reserve policy, asset inflation, and the growing transfer of wealth away from the middle class. Greg and Kerry explain why higher interest rates, hard assets, financial independence, and emotional discipline may become critical in the years ahead. Kerry also details ongoing legal and regulatory efforts, including federal lawsuits, petitions with Florida regulators, and a Public Service Commission hearing focused on forcing utility companies to provide access to real customer service representatives instead of endless automation. They also discuss media manipulation, censorship, independent media platforms like Substack, and why grassroots action and personal responsibility may be the only path left to restoring economic freedom.
