We've got to make sure we clarify that with people.
It has nothing to do with whether or not it's effective.
We know it's highly effective.
Highly effective.
We cannot hide away from human population growth because, you know, it underlies so many of the other problems.
All these things we talk about wouldn't be a problem if there was the size of population that there was 500 years ago.
Good news, everybody.
The vaccine works until it doesn't.
I pulled up this meme from the World Health Organization that tracked the development of their narrative on the injections.
And of course, don't forget that in the beginning, once you got the injection, you could not get COVID.
You could not spread COVID because the science was settled.
And then the science changed.
And then in May, it was 95% protection.
Then in June, it was 70% protection.
July, it was 50% protection.
And then imagine if we apply this to any other product, condoms.
Buy these condoms.
They work 50% of the time.
And they don't prevent pregnancy, but they prevent you from getting pregnant.
Like, yeah, I'm a dude.
I don't get pregnant.
Thanks for the reminder.
But then it got even weirder, right?
It says, no protection but reduces the spread, which was which was really interesting.
It protects you from severe illness, but not from contracting it.
And then it was, doesn't reduce the spread, but reduces severity.
And then in October, it was doesn't reduce severity, but reduces hospitalizations.
In November, it was doesn't reduce hospitalizations, but you aren't going to die.
And then it is a joke at the end, which fact checkers are pissed about.
It said, you die, but you go to heaven.
And fact checkers said this meme is partly false because, and I don't really know why they said it's partly false.
I'm going to guess it's the last section where it says you go to heaven when you die, because a lot of people are going to hell.
I don't know who, but many people are going to be dying suddenly.
Excess deaths are starting to increase in developed countries that had injections mandated and also pressed upon people.
Increasingly, also, young healthy individuals are identifying or registering as disabled.
But hey, don't question the fact checkers.
The vaccine works.
Paul Joseph Watson reminded us, hey, we're still in crisis.
Don't forget, everybody, the vaccine really, works this time.
I promise you, it just does, except for the fact that you have your fourth booster shot.
Some people in the Australian military, their fifth booster shot.
We got annual flu vaccines.
NHS still says the hospitals are in crisis, partly due to COVID patients.
Really makes you think.
And it does.
In fact, it's not just that you want to think, it's that you shouldn't think at all.
Because as we head into another dark winter, or as we are in Australia, one of the greatest summers ever, don't forget this.
CNBC reminded us, we all need to mask up because infectious disease experts remind us the triple demic is about to hit too fast and too furious.
You thought when the Fast and the Furious made enough episodes?
No, they did not.
We never had the triple demic episode.
It's getting crazier.
We're inventing new words and nobody is paying attention to the fact that young people and healthy people are still dying at numbers that we can't explain.
But why?
What is going on?
What is the meaning behind all of this?
My guest today, Edward Dowd, is on later to talk about this.
He's a hedge fund manager and a financial expert that testified before Congress explaining the way that the system and the markets are betting against themselves.
We'll get into that in a second.
But first, welcome back to Slightly Offensive.
This is the best worst show on the internet.
We always have Confetti of Color.
They say the 8K graphics.
I don't have any party poppers out here in Australia.
I don't know why we don't have any.
But this is what you get.
This is the budget you get.
I'm traveling.
I'm international.
And I appreciate you supporting the show.

But before we jump into that, I'd like to give a huge shout out to our sponsor for today.
Now, you guys understand, not only are we in a frivolous time where money is being spent, we had a $1.7 trillion omnibus bill that was giving $80,000 to study plankton.
The point is, is your money can be used for just about anything except for retaining its value.
That's why you've got to invest in gold and silver by calling my friends at Goldco at 855-242-4758.

Gold and silver has actually retained its value while the US dollar has not.
And while crypto continues to disappear off the ledgers, FTX, you see Sam Bankman freed, right?
If you don't know that, familiar with that, he loses billions of dollars of investors' money and he gets bailed out and he's fine.
They don't care about you or your investments, but you should find out right now how to invest your 401k, your retirement, your savings in something that withstands the test of time.
It has gone up 1,000 to 2,000%, respectively, over the last several years or decades, I should say, while the dollar has lost over 93% of its value.
It's crazy, but it's true.
Call 855-242-4758.

I have friends who have done it.
Don't wait until it's too late.
855-242-4758.
Now, before we jump into that, let's get into the monologue because Americans' economy is in the middle of a major labor shortage and realignment.
It's literally crazy.
It's in every Western world and every country that you see today.
It's like there's nothing you can do about it.
I'm sorry.
I'm like, my sinuses are up.
I'm crying.
I'm sad.
I'm upset because this is affecting all over the country.
No, I'm just upset because I'm in another country and I can't handle, I cannot handle the allergens.
But anyway, I'm not the only one struggling.
Businesses are struggling to find quality employees.
I think everywhere I go today, and you might have seen this, there's help wanted signs that are literally everywhere.
And it seems like the quality of everything is going downhill.
Like, I can't literally get good service.
I can't find the products I want.
The supply chain is broken.
And quite frankly, we all know why this is happening.
It's because we see it every day.
It's like every restaurant is short-staffed.
Every place is just barely holding it together with a skeleton crew.
Just ask a business owner or a tradesman how hard it is to find good help.
They're going to tell you that there's nobody around to work at all.
Literally, it's like you can't find a person.
They don't want to work these jobs.
Now, the issue began during the COVID shutdowns.
They were illegal, but they happened.
You have to face that.
And they've long since ended, but the problem persisted.
So what is causing the issue to persist?
Where have all the workers gone?
Now, what if I told you that it likely has to do with the COVID vaccine?
Perhaps it does.
Now, this is a questionable theory, and big tech would tell you this is false.
I'm not making any expert claims.
And I'm not saying I can prove this.
I'm saying, what if it does?
My guest today is Edward Dowd, a renowned financial consultant and founder of Finance Technologies.
Now, at a recent roundtable hearing in Washington, Dowd testified that there's been a significant increase in the mortality rate for people aged 24 to 54.
This group, which is normally very healthy, is now trending roughly 8% ahead of the national average.
In other words, something has dramatically increased the death rate for these age brackets.
I wonder what it is.
Now, the increase emerged not with the rise of COVID, but rather directly after the vaccine mandates.
If the vaccines were safe and effective, we should have observed the mortality rate return to pre-COVID levels.
That's a matter of a fact.
You'll hear people coping and saying, oh, it's because the lockdowns, the lockdowns killed people.
Well, the lockdowns haven't been around for about over a year in most places.
So that doesn't really explain a lot of the excess deaths in 2022.
Maybe you could blame that for 2021.
But we see that the opposite has actually occurred.
During the third quarter of 2021, millennials in particular saw an 84% rise in mortality rate compared to the previous quarter.
Now, that's an insane increase.
And there's only one thing that coincides with that, the vax mandates.
On top of this, the workforce has seen a massive amount of people leaving for disability reasons.
In fact, from May of 2021 to September of 2022, this amounted for over 1.6 million people.
That number is roughly 15% higher compared to the unemployed population.
Again, that was going on in the summer and fall of 2021.
Now, what is that?
I don't know, maybe the mandates.
Now, how many places began requiring their workers to be vaxed or to lose their jobs?
I just had dinner with a couple individuals last night who were literally forced out of their jobs.
They can't even find a job to this day in this country because they're not vaccinated.
They even mentioned the government might be lying about their 97.3% vaccination rate simply to push more people to be vaccinated.
Now, every industry from the military to healthcare to education demanded their employees take the jab.
Do you have to travel abroad for your work?
Well, you had to take the vax.
Were you working at Disney World?
Guess what?
Got to take the shot.
And the list goes on and on.
Millions of people across the country choose to give up their bodily autonomy and in many cases against their better judgment.
So they should remain unemployed, right?
I mean, that's amazing.
No, they did it because they needed to work.
They needed to eat.
They couldn't think about their health and wealth 2, 10, 15 years from now because they needed money today.
When money is tight and you have a family to feed, you almost had to give in and get the vax.
The effect that that mandate had on the workforce is now clear.
You can see it right in here in the data.
Something led to a massive increase in deaths.
Something led to a massive increase in disability registrations.
And we now know what that something is.
It is the same thing that is probably causing people to drop dead around the world.
It is the same thing that is creating blood clots.
And now that we can talk about the real effects of it without the CDC or big tech kicking down the door, because they're acknowledging it, it's on their websites.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the people who sounded the alarm way back then were right all along.
COVID did not kill all these people.
It did kill people.
COVID did not disable all these people.
It's not just long COVID.
It's probably something else.
Could it be the safe solution to the deadly virus?
What does this mean for our economy and our nation?
We're watching a massive realignment happen in real time.
The demographics of this nation, of our workforce, and of our economy itself, functions are changing as we speak.
And we're going to dig into this with Ed in a moment, but one thing is for sure.
The pre-COVID world is truly gone and we are entering uncharted territory.
COVID and the so-called vaccine rest on a bed of lies and promises that nobody and the experts have been able to fulfill.
It has all been a massive fraud pulled on the people of the world to sell them a product that was at best partially effective at reducing severity of illness.
Who knows if that'll change soon?
I'm just going by what they're saying on the record today.
At worst, the side effects couldn't cause death.
They don't want you to talk about the delay.
They say, oh, it can't cause death, except for the fact that almost every single medication I see on the internet says causes death as a possible side effect.
Am I wrong about that?
No, I'm not wrong about that.
It literally says it everywhere.
But you take depressive medication, antidepressants, and it goes, oh, this could cause death.
Now, the only good news is that people like Ed are now speaking out.
Now, with the hard data to back them up, in time, as more and more information comes to light, we're going to begin to fully grasp the scale of the vax disaster and the mandates.
And there's probably going to be a lot of lawsuits here.
And at worst, there's probably going to be a huge backlash in our economy and in our economic strength.
And as we get into this interview, I encourage you to listen.
This is not a vaccine salesman.
This is not a guy who has a solution.
This is just a general financial individual who says, I see danger ahead of us and we need to find a solution.
And I don't know what the cause is, but I'm making a suggestion.
Maybe you should listen to me.
Maybe, just maybe.
And as we get into that, guys, don't forget that it's not just deadly injections or things out there that people are trying to push upon you, but your dog is a special friend.
Nobody talks back to you less than your dog.
In fact, your dog is there for you in the deepest and the hardest times.
And many of you know, you want to give your dog good food, but there's a harmful ingredient in all dog food, almost almost all dog food, I should say.
It's a mystery ingredient that may be causing your dog many health problems.
It's made up of spoiled meat and food processing and packaging waste.
It's disgusting.
You wouldn't eat it yourself.
And if you saw what goes into it, you would never feed it to your dog.
What is this mystery ingredient?
Well, it's called meatmeal.
I call it mystery meat.
And they put it on most dog products everywhere.
Now, this is like basically toxin to your dog.
Now, of course, Dr. Marty has come up with a solution to this.
He explains everything and helps you to understand how to stop feeding your dog this toxic food and to find the right dog food solution.

I'd like to welcome to the show my guest for today.
I'd like to welcome to Slightly Offensive for the first time, former BlackRock manager of over $14 billion of equity growth, as well as a founding member of the current Finance Technologies Hedge Fund.
Edward Dowd, welcome to Slightly Offensive for the first time.
Thanks for having me on today.
Good to be here.
So, before we even talk about any of this, obviously you're on today because we're here to talk about excess deaths and the economy and the correlation between the two.
But to give people a little bit of a background on yourself, we were talking before the show started about where you come from, like why people would pay attention to you.
And one of the things that struck me as crazy, and a lot of people might set off their alarms, is the only other word other than Klaus Schwab that I think makes people perk up today is the phrase BlackRock.
And you have a background in established finance.
Can you tell me a little bit about your background with some of these companies and how you got started in finance?
Sure.
Right out of college, graduated from the University of Notre Dame.
Went to HSBC, which is Hong Kong Shanghai Bank.
I was an institutional bond salesman out of Chicago.
Young man, cut my teeth, learning credit markets, interest rate markets, the Federal Reserve interest rate cycles, economic cycles, currencies, what have you.
I learned how the guts of the economic global system work.
Went back to business school, got an MBA from Indiana University.
Then went on to Wall Street in 97 through 99 at Donaldson Lufkin and Generette.
I was in equity research.
I was in the boring part of equity research electric utilities.
That was during the dot-com day.
Saw a lot of fraud there, right down the hall from me.
So that was my first introduction to nonsense.
Then went up to Boston, got a job at Independence Investments, which was a buy-side shop as a technology analyst, saw the dot-com fraud there, parlayed that into a job at BlackRock as a portfolio manager, where we also saw the great financial crisis coming and helped my career there as well.
But, you know, BlackRock has got a lot of interesting bad PR lately.
I haven't been there since 2012.
Firm has changed considerably.
When I first got there in early 2002, we were their first acquisition.
I was at State Street Investment Management and Research, and we were their first acquisition.
Then they borrowed Merrill Lynch Asset Management, then Barclays.
I left right after they bought Barclays.
So whatever the firm has become, I have no idea.
Most of my former colleagues, in fact, all of them are gone.
Most people I know there are gone.
So it's whatever's going on.
I don't know.
It was a good firm when I was there, but whatever's happening now, I have no comment.
Right.
But today, I mean, I mean, obviously, we know when you leave companies, and I know this firsthand, right?
I mean, you sign documents, you can't really say anything, and that's to be understood.
But what's crazy today is that it's not just leaving companies that you're not allowed to say anything because of the overreach of big tech, literally, as well as the fight right now by certain politicians trying to prevent people from inquiring or asking questions about very precarious pieces of information, such as the handling of the pandemic, as well as the push for the vaccines, the mandates, and also how these things are affecting humankind.
And so you have some interesting theories going on.
And I want to start picking your brain here for a moment.
So, first of all, how as an economist or a finance manager, do you have any sort of authority or even found yourself on the direction of trying to look at excess deaths?
Like, how does that connect to finance?
I'm a little bit confused there.
Actually, it doesn't, it's not a big leap at all.
My job as a stock picker and throughout my whole career is to follow trends and find new trends, investigate them, get ahead of my peers without all the information at hand to make money.
So I'm just a guy like a lot of guys and gals on Wall Street trying to beat the herd.
And so, you know, when I noticed early on, first of all, I know a lot about vaccines and approval processes for drugs because of my background in Wall Street.
I used to invest in healthcare companies, pharmaceutical companies.
And I knew that, first of all, normal vaccine safety data takes seven to 10 years before they put it in people's arms.
So I was suspicious of this thing from the get-go when it was rushed under Operation Warp Speed, which to my mind felt like a disaster in the making.
And so I was suspicious from the get-go.
And in early 2021, when the rollout happened, I started hearing anecdotes of strange things happening, injuries, some deaths, and the sudden athletic deaths, which I wrote about in my book, Cause Unknown, the epidemic of sudden deaths in 21 and 22.
So I just started noticing anecdotes.
And anecdotes, if you know anything about statistics, if the thing was really as safe as they said it was, you shouldn't be hearing about anecdotes.
I mean, yes, in normal vaccines, there are adverse events and deaths, but they're so rare because the safety data has been so vetted before they put it in anyone's arms, you shouldn't be hearing about it.
So that got me thinking, I need to investigate this.
Then when the mandates came, you know, I'm a freedom-loving person that doesn't want anybody telling me what to do with my body.
And when those came, I started protesting here on Maui.
I live on Maui in the state of Hawaii.
And then I hooked up with some of the frontline doctors.
I pledged to them that I'd follow the insurance company results and funeral home results because I knew if I was right, my thesis was correct, we'd start seeing those show up in the numbers.
And they did.
And now they're showing up globally all over the place.
And I have a team of my current hedge fund partners are PhD physicists.
And they literally, we just dropped a website called the Humanity Project that literally has all the evidence of all the excess deaths that have continued in 21 and 22.
And the biggest thing we noticed was a mixture from old to young.
So this is definitely in my wheelhouse, my background.
And just to let you know, like, we don't need the authorities to tell us we're right.
We don't need anybody to tell us we're right because we're raising capital to invest according to the reality we see, which is devastating.
So, you know, we don't need a stamp of approval by fact checkers.
We are getting investors to put money where their mouth is.
So that's it.
This is what Wall Street does.
We take advantage of what we call asymmetric information gaps.
This is the biggest one I've ever seen in my career.
But we're doing the moral thing.
We put all the data out on our website.
We're trying to alert people.
I wrote the book to help influencers and global governments and health authorities to see what's going on and stop this madness.
But barring that, money capital is flowing and it's going to be put to work regardless of what the mainstream media says or anybody, any authority figure says.
So I'm my own authority figure.
I have the evidence.
I have the data.
I now have investors willing to put money where their mouth is.
So that's where I am.
Well, it's funny you say that because they, I mean, the media always talks about listening to experts, but it's always their experts.
It's never, you know, you can walk around and be like, well, I have credentials or I have the professional history.
Why am I needing to listen to somebody else who I contradict with?
I'm going to go with my own findings.
To make this a little more rudimentary, though, for people who are new to this or are listening to the show for the first time, let's talk about what this actually, the significance of this is by first jumping into something very basic.
Can you explain in simple terms what excess deaths are and why that statistic is important?
Sure.
So excess death is merely excess above normal expected deaths.
Insurance companies look at excess deaths.
You know, CDC and health authorities look at excess deaths.
Death numbers are pretty predictable over time.
They don't change much.
And when they change abruptly and suddenly, it's called excess deaths.
And we saw in 2021 a huge increase in excess deaths, especially in insurance company group life policyholders, which just so you know, studies have been done, they're much healthier than the general U.S. population.
So this is a group life policyholder working for a Fortune 500 company or a mid-sized company.
This is one of those throwaway benefits everyone gets when they sign on board.
And if you die and you're still working for the company, your family gets, or your parents get, depending upon whether you're married or not, one or two X times your salary death benefit.
Now, these things exploded in the third quarter of 2021, especially for millennials, 25 to 44.
The insurance industry, these are not my numbers, Society of Actuaries saw 84% excess mortality into the third quarter of 2021.
Now, you may ask, well, why did that happen?
Well, people will tell me it's Ed, it's suicides, it's drug overdoses or missed cancer screening treatments.
Well, that's particularly curious for a group that's very well-educated, got the best jobs, and to receive the death benefit, you have to be employed.
So usually heroin and fentanyl abusers don't stay employed very long.
So let's throw out the drug overdoses as an excuse.
Suicides, are you going to tell me that there was a sharp increase from around 20, 30% excess mortality to 84% in a three-month timeframe?
And you're going to tell me it was a suicide pact?
Throw that out.
And then this cancer screening treatment stuff.
You know, I'm 55, never had one.
People between 25 and 44 aren't going to get cancer screening treatments.
Usually when you get sick, you go in, you do a scan, and then they find out that you got something.
So it's not something you do on an annual or quarterly basis.
So that's poppycock.
So what my thesis, and I wrote this in my book, Cause Unknown, is there was an event.
The event was a mass vaccination program and mandates.
And now that's just one, that's one data set.
So that's excess mortality.
It's above and beyond.
And what did the age group in the Society of Actuary found that for 25 through 64 in 2021, 40% excess deaths for that whole age group in their group life policy members?
There was an executive in January of 22, Scott Davison, quoted saying, he didn't blame what I'm blaming, but he said, we saw 40% excess deaths in the third and fourth quarter.
A 10% excess death rate is a once in a 200-year flood or a three-standard deviation event.
Again, these deaths don't jump around like this.
This is crazy statistical anomalies.
40%, he said, was off the charts.
And then what did the nation experience in 2021 in terms of excess deaths above normal deaths pre-COVID?
They experienced 32%.
So a much healthier group that dies at a third the rate of the general population in any given year because they're employed, they make it to work, they have the best access to the best health care and are highly educated, died at 40% excess versus the general U.S. population at 32.
So that something flipped in 2021 and it continues to flip in 2022.
And if you want to get into the disability data, it's even more shocking.
Well, I think one of the most important things here, we will get into that, is that the excess deaths are increasing, particularly in people that we probably wouldn't expect them to see.
But in your personal research, do you see that as being universal across, you know, I would say developed countries that are involved in the financial market?
Or is this predicated to just one country in particular?
Like, where are we seeing this trend increase?
Where are we seeing this play out the most?
So it varies from country to country, depending usually on vaccination uptake.
But what we're seeing, generally speaking, and we dropped on our finance technologies website, it's PHI instead of the F, and we call it the Humanity Project.
We've got excess deaths for all of Europe.
That's Eurostat data.
And we have the UK.
We have the US data.
We have Australia that we just dropped into our website two weeks ago.
And we're working on Canada.
And just the general theme is this: there was a mixed shift from old to young in terms of excess deaths.
And so the question is: what happened?
Did the virus suddenly become a virus that only went after younger folks?
I would love to see any virologist or epidemiologists suggest that.
So what happened?
And my thesis is, and our thesis is, it has something to do with the vaccines.
Now, if we're wrong, that's fine.
And I'd love to hear what could be going on because it's certainly a crisis at this point.
And when I get into the disabilities, you'll see what I'm talking about.
Deaths are bad, but the disabilities are 4 to 10x what the deaths are.
And that has economic implications.
But at the very least, we saw in 2020 a hype of all the deaths.
We had ticker tapes of death numbers at the bottom of CNN and NBC and NBC every night.
We had COVID cases.
Now we have excess death that's continuing into 2022.
And narrow a peep about it.
It's crickets.
So at the very least, what is going on?
Why is no one talking about it?
If I'm wrong, I would admit it in a heartbeat, but I've yet to see any other explanation to explain these excess deaths in these countries.
And they don't seem to be occurring in the sub-Saharan countries.
Now, the data there is not as good, and we want to do an analysis of that eventually, but we just need to find a country that has good data.
We might look at South Africa, which has a very low vaccination rate.
But this is where we are.
It's a disaster, and there's not any health authority wanting to investigate this or even highlighting it.
And that's why we have this new term sudden adult death syndrome, which is nothing more than a euphemism.
It is scary, honestly, like deep down inside, because I'm currently broadcasting from Australia.
And not only do they have a massive drop in birth rate here, I mean, it's statistically, it's insane.
But on top of that, I know that they have 97.3% of their population that has been vaccinated over 16 years old.
And that does vary from territory to territory.
But the overall national average of a country of over 25 million people, it's quite strange that fact checkers came out to say that the 16% increase of excess deaths here in 2022 was false.
And then when you read the record, it says it's actually somewhere between 12.2 and 16.6%.
But there's no explanation of why in working adults and also in those that are like the 24 to 54 range, why they're dying at an increased rate.
And even in cities like Melbourne, they're installing heart defibrillators in residential neighborhoods like fire hydrants.
And so when you see the correlative evidence, it almost seems like out here, though, there's pressure on citizens that if they were to question or even, I mean, there's people here that won't even tell their spouses about adverse effects from the vaccines because they don't want to be seen as one of those people or a conspiracy theorist and the sort of stigma that goes behind something.
My question for you is if an average person can be labeled, can be completely disregarded as a financial expert, someone that I assume has had a, you know, with your portfolio, has had a lot of success, has a reputation, things on the line.
Why are you willing to ask these questions?
Like, what benefit is there from investigating this long term if the cost is so high to you as an individual?
Well, you know, I view it as no choice.
I'm not going to live in a world where, you know, we're going to accept this kind of fraud and malfeasance writ large around the globe.
I mean, it's game over.
So either you speak now or forever, hold your peace.
And so the good news is I'm still in America.
There's still freedom of speech.
Now, I'm lucky that I don't have a doctor's license to go after or a bar license to go after.
I'm just a financial guy who has an investment thesis that I've now turned into a thesis about what's going on with the vaccine.
It's my thesis.
I have the data to prove it.
This book, Cause Unknown, lays it all out matter of factly.
And you don't have to agree with me, but I will tell you this.
People are coming to my partners and I asking us to think about raising capital to invest according to the new reality.
Now, we're a macro global hedge fund.
We're not going to bet on individual stocks, which people are already doing.
Just mark my words.
People are already betting against the vaccines and betting on funeral home companies and betting against insurance companies.
This is happening.
We're not going to do that.
We're going to bet on the growth rates of the global economy.
And they are going to be bad because of the damage we've seen that's going to impact the economies for years to come.
And, you know, so I'm not worried.
I feel like I have a moral obligation to do this.
And we're raising capital as social proof that we don't need the FDA or the CDC to tell us we're right because we're acting as if we are right and people want to put money to work on that bet.
And it's just like Enron.
Enron was a fraud.
By the time the regulators told you it was a fraud, you missed out and you've lost all your money.
So you can't wait around for authorities to tell you I'm right.
You have eyes, you have ears.
It's becoming almost a daily occurrence of people dropping dead at a very young age.
There was a poll that came out today from Raz Mussen that said that 49% of Americans think that they know someone who may have died or been injured from the vaccine.
So it's definitely going on word of mouth.
But in the real, in the media world and the social digital world, it's still being suppressed.
Right.
I think, though, what I'm still a little bit concerned about is, okay, we know the economy isn't doing well.
I mean, it is crazy in the Western world.
I mean, if people want to know how bad it is in a country like Australia and New Zealand, I mean, you know, the cost of a 16-pack of water bottles off-brand is on sale for $9.75.
You can get a used Toyota Land Cruiser for $122,000.
This is the state of geopolitics and the economy over here.
I don't think I've ever quite seen a country with things at this cost.
I think gas is near $8 a gallon.
But remarkably speaking, right, these are somewhat better, I would say, examples because these are monocultures, smaller nations, more connected economy, higher vaccination rate.
It's probably a little easier to study a nation of 25 million people than a nation of 340 million people on the predictors of what's going to happen next.
So, in your personal prospect and the way you're investing, what do you actually see for countries that are on a larger scale, like the United States?
I'll just throw the European Union as one country, even though technically it's on a continent.
I mean, where are we headed?
And what are the implications of this for our future for people who are just trying to prepare and embrace for what's ahead?
Two things.
You know, for your viewers down in Australia and where you're located currently, we did the work in Australia and I just put out on Twitter today.
I'm back on Twitter as of Thursday.
I was reinstated.
I was banned in June.
But we put out our work on Australia.
And, you know, in 2020, the excess death rate was minus 4% or minus 2%.
So Australia did okay in 2020.
Then in 2021, the excess death rate went up to 4%.
And as of 2022, the excess death rate is 18%.
Something's going awfully wrong and down under.
So whatever you want to do down under, and I know you guys are being hunted down by the police if you say anything.
Whatever they're doing for you isn't working.
You need to investigate it.
That's number one.
Number two, economically, we're looking, my team at Finance Technologies, we put out a piece in November that basically is predicting a deep, deep recession in Q1, Q2 for the U.S.
And so goes the U.S., so goes the globe.
It's going to be as deep as the 00 recession or the 1990 recession, which is very bad.
The financial markets, the stock market was down 20% this year.
I think it's going to go down a lot more next year.
So we're looking at a very, very bad recession starting.
It's already started.
We're decelerating, but it's going to probably bottom sometime in Q2, Q3.
We're going to see a lot of layoffs.
We're going to see a lot of hard times.
And the good news is, hopefully, we recover out of that and bottom.
But unfortunately, because of the damage we're seeing from these experimental inoculations, disabilities are on the rise.
And in the U.S. alone, we've proven since, and I put this out on Twitter and it's on our website, since February of 2021, there's been a three standard deviation event with disabilities.
They were running around 29 to 30 million the prior five years in the U.S.
This is U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
Again, not my numbers, their numbers.
And it went up to about 33.2 million as of September of 2022.
It's come off a little bit.
But between February 21 and November of 22, we can prove definitively that the employed of our nation, their disability rate went up 26%, while the general U.S. population went up 11%.
That should not happen.
Disabled people tend not to be the healthiest amongst us.
And it's even worse when we look at those not in labor force.
What does that mean?
Those are people who got fired or quit because they didn't want to take the vaccine or accept the mandate.
Those people's disability rate has gone up only 4% in that same time period.
What does that number represent?
So a total of about 3.2 million Americans have been disabled above the prior four-year number.
How many of those were employed?
1.7 million.
So it's definitely been detrimental to your health in the U.S. to be employed in 21 and 22.
And it's looking like it's the same story in Europe, UK, Australia, what have you.
This is a disaster.
So why are then, okay, so what's the core, like you said, but what is the correlation?
Because I noticed there's three things in the economy, and I'm hoping you can explain this that I don't quite get.
And I hear multiple explanations for: is one, why things are so expensive.
Two, why there's nobody working anywhere, literally.
And three, why nobody can seem to agree whether we're in a recession, whether recession's coming, and no one can give a clear demarcation of exactly where the economy is on any reliable sources that I can find.
No one can seem to agree.
So, those three things: yeah, the prices, the labor, the labor issues, and also the definitive unilateral understanding globally of where we're at economically and also as a nation.
So, prices, let me start with prices.
So, after COVID hit, the Federal Reserve and central banks around the world printed unprecedented amounts of money.
The Federal Reserve printed 65% more money supply than the prior year, the biggest increase we've ever seen historically.
Then, global governments went on spending binges.
So, part of the inflation you're seeing is definitely monetary, but not all of it.
A lot of it is due to intentional policies by the U.S. and the EU in terms of energy policy, cutting off oil production and natural gas production, which raises the prices of almost everything.
So, it's a two-fold hit: it's a supply shock in energy plus monetary inflation.
It's just like the 70s all over again.
That's number one.
Are we in a recession?
We had a technical recession in Q1 and Q2 of this year.
It wasn't very deep.
Then they manufactured a re-acceleration in the economy through accounting gimmicks.
I mean, most of what we saw in the GDP number, I think it was 1.7% increase or two-something.
That was mostly due to investment from abroad due to a strong dollar, which not consumption, which is most of our economy.
The consumption part of our economy, which is 80% of our GDP, has fallen off a cliff.
We here at Finance Technologies are looking at minus 3% to minus 4% GDP in Q1 and Q2.
We think that's baked into the cake.
There's no way around it.
So that's coming.
And then why are you not seeing anybody working?
We believe, now, what you're going to hear is there's something called the Great Resignation.
I'm sure you've heard that one.
There's this theme of millennials and people after the pandemic don't want to go back to work because they're scared or they're taking on new philosophies on life.
What it really is, and it's not the whole reason, but I think about 60 to 70% of the help wanted signs are people being disabled.
I mean, I just told you: 1.7 million Americans have been disabled since of the employed population.
These are people willing and able who are now removed mysteriously from the labor force.
That's about half of the 3 million people that were added to the disability roles.
So, you know, this is a disaster.
And so we have people being disabled.
Now we're getting layoffs.
So, you know, hopefully the layoffs will free up some labor for some people to do some jobs.
But, you know, if you're a Facebook engineer and you get laid off, you're probably not going to want to go become a waiter at a restaurant or something like that.
That's just typically how it doesn't work.
So the question is: Real fast, the disabilities, if you know, is that related to COVID infection?
Is that being related?
Is that being undeclared?
Like, do we have data on that?
No.
So it just, look, I'm an investor.
I don't need someone to tell me what's going on.
We showed in one of our analyses the COVID vaccination rollout and cumulative doses.
The correlation we came up with is 0.90.
Now, correlation, they'll tell you, is not causation, but in the absence of any other explanatory factor, it certainly looks like there's a link, and we're investing that way.
So you can see, I just put this out on Twitter.
You can see the graph where basically 0.90 is A very high correlation.
Now, again, is that proof?
No.
Do I have the diagnoses of all these people who have been disabled?
No, I don't.
Don't care.
All I know is one thing that's happened that changed in 2021 and 2022 is vaccination.
And the fact that it's only affecting that it seems to be affecting the employed more so than the general population would indicate something went on with mandates and mass vaccination.
And those who are not employed had a choice.
So that for me is a smoking gun.
And also the insurance data from group-like policyholders, the employed of our country have been hit harder than anybody.
And I went to see Ron Johnson a couple of weeks ago.
He had a COVID panel.
And I told him, I think it's a national security issue and it needs to be investigated at the very least.
And if I'm wrong, great, but no one's offered an explanation.
But there's something mysteriously taking out our employed, most able-bodied amongst us, the military, the first responders, not those who are unemployed or the very young or the retired who didn't get the vaccines.
It seems pretty incredible to me, but that's what's going on.
What was Congress's reception to you speaking to them or any follow-up, any feedback, anything positive that we can have hope for?
Or where is that headed?
So that was a roundtable held by Senator Johnson.
The hope is a lot of the data and Evans presented there will be rolled into, and I hope to be called back to Congress in the new session when there are investigations opened up, if there are.
But that's the hope.
The hope was to lay the groundwork for what hopefully will be some investigations by Congress.
I just learned today, haven't confirmed, that Japan is now investigating what went wrong with the COVID vaccinations and what happened during COVID.
So investigations are beginning.
Right.
So to kind of get a little more in-depth here, I'm still slightly concerned if the correlation does appear that it is the vaccines that are causing this, that it is what might be causing the excess deaths.
Of course, experts tell you that's incorrect or that's not right.
Do you really predict by any chance that we are going to be seeing a mass global reduction in population, which is going to be affecting the economy?
Or, I mean, there's not nowhere too controversial that I really want to hold you back from going.
Where is this going to end up, or where do you see this leading based on the trends that we're currently seeing, both demographically and then the effect on the economy and geopolitics as a whole?
So this is where I hope I'm wrong.
Okay.
I don't want to be right.
But if you look at the trend on disabilities, the trend is not the trend, it was going sideways like this, and then it went like this, like a gross stock.
It's still going up and to the right.
The trend has not been broken.
And if that trend continues, it's going to be bad.
And I don't know when it ends.
And what my goal is, is to at least have the general population, the marginal mind, aware of what's going on, turn the politicians, and we end this madness, at least pause the madness.
Then we can get assessed what the damage is.
My team and I are working on what's called the vaccine damage report, where we're going to link all sorts of databases to figure out what exactly the extent of the damage is.
But it's looking grim.
But I hope I'm wrong.
Right now, excess mortality globally seems to be around 20%, which is still horrendous.
It's horrendous.
If that continues and doesn't go back to normal trend line, we got problems, especially amongst the younger cohorts.
So my prognosis is we're definitely going to have a recession the first half of this year.
And depending upon how this issue is resolved globally, I see this likely to be a decade of slowing, slowing growth.
Geopolitically, we have problems too.
China hit a demographic wall in 2020.
And what I mean by that is their population is on the decline.
So whenever demographics roll over like they did in Japan in the late 80s, you have a couple lost decades.
And China's biggest fear is its own people.
So they're going to have to create a boogeyman to rally the people against rather than having them focus on them.
And I suspect geopolitical turmoil as we have economic slowdowns across the globe.
People are going to need excuses to blame everybody but themselves.
I'm really enjoying this interview.
And everybody knows I love a good cigar, okay?
A good smoke relaxes me and I have a good time.
Sometimes the world just puts you on edge and you're looking for a way to relax, but the options are kind of gross, right?
You have cigarettes, vapes, which are lame, and then you have cigars and good ones are really expensive.
The problem with all these products is they smell, they create a mess.
And quite frankly, vapes, cigarettes, almost all of them, and cheap cigars have all kinds of disgusting ingredients and additives.
I'm personally not comfortable using.
But there's a better alternative to smoking and to vaping.
That's pixetine.
These are nicotine-infused toothpicks.
Whether you're looking for an alternative that doesn't make you smell in the way that cigarettes make you smell, or perhaps you're looking to quit smoking or vaping and you're looking for an alternative, this is a solution for you.
It is a toothpick with nicotine called Pixetine.
The beautiful thing about this tasty nicotine toothpick is it can be used anywhere and anytime.
Go ahead and take back control of doing what you want to do when you want to do it without bothering the people around you.
Pixetine can be used in bars, restaurants, planes, sport events, movie theaters, shopping centers, and anywhere else you want.

I enjoy really the cinnamon flavor and, of course, the winter flavor.
The mint is so good.
The regular and original is amazing too, but I'm more of a flavor kind of guy.
Depends what you like.
But this gives you the freedom to use whenever and wherever.
And are you looking to make a change for the new year and to do something better for your life and stop bothering the people around you with all of these crazy smells and plume clouds of smoke?

Let's get back to the interview.
And I know you're not you're not a war expert, but I know China's been pretty vocal about in all of this, you know.
Not only A, that they've been cracking down publicly on COVID in ways that have made zero sense scientifically, which makes one conjecture perhaps that it was a power struggle or some way to clamp down an opposition.
It's quite unknown.
They also plan, they say, to invade Taiwan by 2027.
So within this next decade, and we're talking about four or five years, what is your advice to people out there financially in terms of whether they have a lot of money or a little bit of money?
Maybe they're living paycheck to paycheck.
Where are things headed?
And what do you feel like are the right moves people should be making, signs people should be looking for?
I mean, we're all a little freaked out, to be honest.
And I know you work in this industry, so we're blind.
You're the eyes.
What are the signs?
Well, I've been telling people since January, February of 2022 to raise cash in their investment portfolios and not invest in assets at the moment.
And I still recommend that.
Now, I'm not going to give trading advice.
I don't think if you're not, you know, if you're not someone that's involved in the financial markets daily, don't waste your time trying to short this market and profit from it.
Just step to the sidelines if you can and wait for everything to look really, really bad.
And what I mean by bad is you'll know it's bad.
It's when everyone's freaking out and the mainstream media finally gives up the ghost and admits that the world is ending.
The world won't end.
But to them, it'll be like when these people freak out, it's usually the bottom.
I expect a near-term bottom sometime in the spring, summer of next year, maybe the fall.
And, you know, you can go back into financial assets if you've raised cash.
What you don't want to do is hold to the bottom, freak out and sell, and then buy it back higher.
That's what typically most people do.
So, you know, also create like-minded community networks.
I want to give a lot of hope out there.
Don't be in fear.
It's going to be okay.
The sun's going to come up.
And turn off the TV.
Don't get in fear because fear leads to anxiety.
It decouples critical thinking and it leads to depression.
So just relax.
We're going to be fine.
But, you know, we're going to go through some troubles.
And we need to figure out how to get this, what I believe is the greatest crime ever exposed.
And that's why I wrote the book, Cause Unknown.
It's for the marginal mind.
It's to convince some of your loved ones that still buy the propaganda that you've been duped.
Stop taking boosters and let's get to the hard work of investigating what just happened to us.
Awesome.
Edward, thank you so much for coming on.
I really appreciate you.
If people want to keep up with you, if they want to follow this or pick up a copy of your book, what's the best way that they can get more information and also follow your amazing research as it continues to develop?
A couple different places.
So I'm on Twitter now, again, after being released from jail at Dowd Edward.
That's D-O-W-D-Edward, all one word.
I'm on Getter at EdwardDowd, D-O-W-D.
I have a personal website, DaylivePeopleDie.com, where I have some information about what's going on in the insurance industry in regards to my thesis on vaccines.
You can also go to, and you can buy the book there.
You can buy the book on Amazon.
The book is Cause Unknown, The Epidemic of Sudden Death in 21 and 22.
It's for you and or a loved one.
And then if you really want to go deep, you can go to finance technologies spelled P-H-I-N-A-N-C-E-Technologies.com.
We have what we call the Humanity Project.
It's free to the world.
We've written methodology papers on how to calculate excess deaths, how to adjust for population growth and trend adjusting.
So it's ready for peer review.
Anybody who wants to come at us, we welcome all those who want to dispute our data, but it's there for anybody to use.
It's free to the world.
The Humanity Project is basically declaring itself to be the watchdog of the watchdog since no one seems to be at home right now.
Awesome.
Thank you so much, Edward.
I really appreciate you coming on the show.
Thanks a lot.

I guess this is a holiday for a lot of people, not you and me, but.
Whatever we can, whatever we can.
I appreciate you, and we hope to have you on again soon.
All right.
Take care.
