Financial warfare is not the warfare of the future — it is already here. It’s going to become a bigger threat as time goes on, too. But before we explain how and why it’s important, let’s begin by analyzing this new kind of war with a definition. Financial warfare, like conventional warfare, is intended to enhance national power, diminish the power of rivals and achieve policy goals.
It is actual warfare conducted through banking and capital markets channels. It is not mere economic policy as in the case of so-called currency wars, trade wars or embargoes.
Financial warfare can serve many purposes. The 2015 U.S. financial war on Russia, for example, is intended as punishment for its support of rebellion in eastern Ukraine. It can also be used to force behavior of certain kinds.
The 2012 U.S. financial war on Iran was intended to force Iran to the bargaining table with regard to its uranium enrichment activities and pursuit of nuclear weapons.
The financial warfare battlespace can be offensive or defensive. Offensive capability includes attacks on banks and stock exchanges to steal data, shut down systems or cause financial panics.
Defensive capability includes the construction of firewalls, creation of redundant systems and creation of nondigital substitute systems that cannot be hacked.
Your chance to protect your portfolio is now. Read on for more details on the threat and the steps you should be taking...
All the best,

P.S. This doesn’t mean that currency wars are not a threat to your wealth also. As China’s economy continues to implode a financial contagion is spreading across the globe. Markets have been whipsawing for over a week.
U.S. stocks, the price of oil, gold, and currencies are all fluctuating uncontrollably. Trillions of dollars have been wiped out in matters of hours.
And mark my words -- the volatility in the markets has just begun. While most investors will be blindsided, you have the opportunity to not only protect yourself… but also book triple digit gains. All you need to use is my proprietary IMPACT system.
