It highlights Jim Rickards&#8217; 40 years of advising U.S. presidents, the CIA, and the Pentagon, suggesting he believes a critically important financial event similar to a past episode is occurring again. Rickards predicts that recent presidential actions are deliberately destabilizing the old system to build a new one, which has historically resulted in ordinary americans becoming millionaires if they anticipated it. He shares a new briefing outlining the potential moves by President Trump before the upcoming election and warns that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-uttered-six-words-then-this-4-time-presidential-adviser-moved-1-million\/\" title=\"Trump Uttered Six Words \u2013 Then This 4-Time ...ial Adviser Moved  Million\">unprepared investors<\/a> may face shocks.

What exactly did he do? And who got rich?<\/h3>\n<h3>Rickards tells the whole story in a new briefing \u2014 and he lays out<br \/> the moves he believes Trump will make before Nov. 3.<\/h3>\n<h3>Fair warning: Some of it is unsettling. Rickards believes the<br \/> shock will hit unprepared investors hardest \u2026 and that most people<br \/> won\u2019t see it coming until it\u2019s on every front page in America.<\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/pro.paradigmnewsletters.org\/m\/2538422\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For now, the briefing is free to watch.
