Robert Widemer: Aftershock Survival Summit Video (REVIEW)

Aftershock Review

The Aftershock Survival Summit Video is a is a must-see, lightly-sprinkled sensational video which features a signature “financial broadcast” newsman and language designed to conjure fear in the hearts of Americans. Aftershock’s ultimate goal is to educate the public on “how-to” profit in the next global financial meltdown. It is a flurry of economic predictions by one of the economists who predicted the 2008 mortgage scandal. Disregarding the sales-letter format of the presentation it is wise to take notes on the subject matter

Initially screened for a private audience, this video exposed harsh economic truths and garnered an overwhelming amount of feedback.

“People were sitting up and taking notice, and they begged us to make the video public so they could easily share it,” said Newsmax Financial Publisher Aaron DeHoog.

Who is Robert (Bob) Wiedemer?

Aftershock features the following disclaimer in regards to it’s content, creator and author:

WARNING: This video contains shocking truths about the real state of the economy. Newsmax recently aired this gripping video, the Aftershock Survival Summit, to a private audience and the response was so overwhelming, viewers begged us to post it here so they could share it with others.

Over one million Americans from all levels of life have united together to watch the original broadcast featuring famed economist and bestselling author, Robert Wiedemer. Wiedemer gives viewers a dire wake-up call along with practical step-by-step guidelines that ordinary Americans can follow to protect and grow their wealth, even in these tumultuous times.

Robert Widemer prophetically predicted both the real estate and stock market collapse in his book, America’s Bubble Economy (2006). In the wake of his anticipated economic disaster, Wiedemer penned a follow-up book, Aftershock, which immediately topped Amazon’s bestseller list. Dow Jones said Wiedemer’s work “is your bible, read it, get into action, and be a winner.” Standard and Poor’s says his “track record demands our attention.”

Aftershock Summary

During Newsmax’s Aftershock Survival Summit video, Wiedemer discusses the dire consequences of Washington, D.C.’s, bipartisan, multi-decade “borrow-and-spend” agenda. He also explores the inflation nightmare, the impending plunge in home prices, the looming collapse of the stock and bond markets, a possible historic surge in unemployment, and how to survive what life in America will be like in the days of the “Aftershock.”

In a nutshell, Aftershock argues that a succession of bubbles have set the country on the path to ruin. First came the dotcom bubble, then the housing bubble. Now Federal Reserve market “manipulation” and the “incredible irresponsibility and bad judgment of the public sector” — i.e. the U.S. government — make banana republic inflation levels inevitable starting in 2012. Their advice: Sell everything, and pile into gold and inflation-linked securities.

The Aftershock Book

Economist and bestselling author Bob Wiedemer releases charts and predictions so controversial his publisher pulled them from his most recent book, Aftershock: Protect Yourself and Profit in the Next Global Financial Meltdown. Wiedemer predicts 50% unemployment, a 90% stock market collapse, a plummeting dollar and soaring debt, and 100% annual inflation.

The West Palm Beach, Fla.-based publisher claims one million people watched a recent “Aftershock Survival Summit” it hosted and publicized in late 2011 with a full-page Wall Street Journal ad.

The Aftershock Book, now in its second edition, has spent the past month in the top five selling business books on Amazon.com (AMZN). It is the basis for a massive publicity campaign for right-leaning media outfit Newsmax, and it provides fodder for talking heads on CNN, Fox, and CNBC. All that has been good for sales — publisher John Wiley & Sons says 200,000 copies are now in print.

Wiedemer on the Fed and Obama

Wiedemer also takes shots at former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and the current Chairman, Ben Bernanke; the video was deemed so controversial that many online networks took it down and affiliates refused to house it. Censorship? Say it ain’t so! According to Newsmax Financial Publisher Aaron DeHoog, “People were sitting up and taking notice, and they begged us to make the Aftershock Survival Summit public so they could easily share it, but unfortunately, it kept getting pulled.” In the video of the summit, Robert enunciates dire predictions between shots of Obama and elderly people wearing janitor and fast food uniforms.

The Solution

As Americans and investors we may want to revisit the definition of wealth. It has been proven throughout history that in times of economic uncertainty that hard assets such as gold, silver and other precious metals have been the most effective measure to hedge against high levels of inflation.

Gold and silver are the true measure of wealth and will never become worthless.

The timeless value of metals can be seen in the chart below:

There is increasing evidence of a return to the “gold (and silver) standard”.

A return to the gold standard by the United States within the next five years now seems likely, because that move would help the nation solve a variety of economic, fiscal, and monetary ills, Steve Forbes recently predicted.

Such a move would help to stabilize the value of the dollar, restore confidence among foreign investors in U.S. government bonds, and discourage reckless federal spending, the media mogul and former presidential candidate said.

Indeed, with growing calls for a return to the Gold Standard, the latest from billionaire media magnate Steve Forbes (see news), gold looks set to at least rise to its 1980 adjusted high of $2,400/oz. A return to a Gold Standard would likely see gold revalued to thousands of dollars per ounce.

It has been advised that placing at least 20% of your investment portfolio in precious metals is adequate protection against systematic risks.
