Dear Reader,

Gas prices are surging. Oil is blasting past $100 a barrel.

Everyone is looking at the Middle East. They are watching the Strait of Hormuz. They are blaming Iran.

They are looking in the wrong direction.

The real threat isn't just overseas. It is right here at home. It is a self-inflicted wound.

Washington is actively sabotaging American energy independence. And you are paying the price every time you fill up your tank.

My poor dad believed the government was competent. He believed they acted in our best interest.

My rich dad knew better. He knew that bureaucrats often create the very crises they claim to be solving. 

He knew that when the government interferes with production, the middle class gets crushed.

Here is what is happening right now.

Alaska is one of the most energy-rich regions on the planet. It is our ace in the hole. 

When global markets go crazy, we should be pumping as much Alaskan oil as possible.

Instead, Washington is putting up roadblocks.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Pentagon are targeting Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs). 

These are the organizations that own the land. They own the infrastructure. They are the only ones who know how to operate in that brutal environment.

For example, the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation owns the largest hydrocarbon province in North America.

But the government is pausing their contracts. They are launching sweeping audits.

Why? Because of a bribery scandal in a federal contracting program. And because some politicians are trying to label these sovereign tribal treaties as "DEI programs."

It is madness.

I am all for rooting out fraud. If someone is stealing, lock them up.

But you don't shut down the entire American energy supply chain to catch a few bad apples. 

If you shut down every federal program that had waste or fraud, Washington D.C. would be a ghost town by tomorrow morning.

These contracts are based on treaties with sovereign nations. They are political, not racial.

By pausing these contracts, the government is creating massive uncertainty. Work is delayed. Investments are frozen. Output is constrained.

And what happens when supply is constrained? Prices explode.

This isn't just an abstract policy debate. This is a direct attack on your wallet.

Higher gas prices are a hidden tax. They hit the working class the hardest. They hit the people who have to drive to work, drive to school, and drive to the grocery store.

And it doesn't stop at the pump. When the cost of transportation goes up, the cost of everything goes up. Your groceries. Your clothes. Your Amazon deliveries.

It is a vicious cycle of inflation, driven by regulatory incompetence.

We cannot control what happens in the Middle East. We cannot control the Strait of Hormuz.

But we can control what happens in Alaska. We can choose to be resilient. We can choose to maximize our domestic production.

Instead, Washington is choosing to make us vulnerable.

So, what do you do?

You stop relying on a government that actively sabotages its own economy. 

You stop trusting politicians who care more about political theater than your standard of living.

You have to build your own personal portfolio.

You need wealth that cannot be inflated away or destroyed by a bureaucrat's pen. You need hard assets.

Gold. Silver. Bitcoin. Real estate that produces cash flow.

When energy prices skyrocket and inflation rages, the people holding fake fiat dollars get wiped out. The people who own hard assets survive and thrive.

The system is broken. The bureaucrats are out of control.

Don't be a victim. Take control. Acquire real wealth. 

Build your fortress.

P.S.  What if you could compress a lifetime of wealth-building…

Ten… twenty… even thirty years… Into a single 24-hour window?

It sounds absurd.

But Elon Musk is about to make it a reality with something I’m calling…
