It’s why a former Managing Director at Goldman Sachs says, “every American needs to see what’s really going on behind the scenes.” Her urgent warning is now available to the public... [See It Here]( Annapolis, Maryland January 7, 2021 [Brian Maher] Dear Reader, WE are denounced for complicity in yesterday’s atrocities. Reader Dave H: ... Your endless images of brainwashed thugs, goons, mobs and boneheads without any commentary shows you and and your group are complicit and approve of what went on today. I couldn't be more disgusted. Don't send me this (expletive deleted) anymore... We were unable to express yesterday’s spectacle in words. We therefore expressed it in photographs. If one picture equals 1,000 words, yesterday’s issue ran to some 20,000. We hazarded you would prefer the pictures to the words. Amy W. nonetheless laments: I paid for financial content and all I get are ads for Jim Rickards and your political (expletive deleted). UGH...enough! Jon S. is an honorable Navy man. He says: Predictable or no, [yesterday']s display of insurrection should be neither justified nor glorified. Last I checked, the established rule of law overrides any predicted 'reckoning' every time. “What Is Wrong With You People??” Peter M. — meantime — accuses us of an atrocious neutrality: Yet another fence-sitting but interesting email from the DR. Are you cheering the protesters on or deprecating their behaviour? Or just leaving us all with our own prejudices and assumptions? Let us now climb down from our fence. It is time to take our lashing from Sheila S: You call the ‘democracy in action’?? What is wrong with you people?? Much… clearly. Lastly, Arthur G. washes his hands of us and our rediculous site. We, like the president and his witless dupes, are deranged: Remove me from your rediculous site. Trump is mentally deranged, and this proves the same about your site, and all Trump supporters. Each reader defection represents a tiny death. Thus we mourn Arthur’s defection. Yet we wish to depart in peace… and on the pleasantest of terms. Thus we have mailed Arthur a parting gift in token of our good will... We trust he will wear his “Stop the Steal” shirt in the identical spirit of defiance we wear our own. But to proceed… Recommended Link [Most Accurate Tech Investor Makes New #1 Pick…]( [Read more here...]( Jeff Brown is arguably America’s No. 1 most accurate technology investor. In 2015, he singled out Bitcoin before it shot up almost 100x… He also recommended the No. 1 tech investments of 2016, 2018, and 2019… And—this year—he’s already picked two of the three top-performing stocks! Recently, Mr. Brown sat down with Chris Hurt to discuss the state of the stock market… And discuss his new No. 1 pick. As you’ll see, it’s in an industry that billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett are flocking to… (In fact, Buffett recently dumped $800 million of Apple stock to invest in this!) It’s also set to grow an astonishing 5,900%. If you have any interest in tech stocks, you can’t miss this special interview. And the new report Jeff Brown put together.

Is it not the “shining city on the hill?” Yet today its glow is vastly diminished. The gleam is off… China labels yesterday’s deliriums a “beautiful sight to behold.” The reference traces to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She gushed in 2019 that Hong Kong’s anti-China protests were a beautiful sight to behold. Now China turns her words against her: [IMG 1] China is not the only foreign power to chuckle at yesterday’s spectacles… A Sad, Sad Day Here Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza gives us a good, hard razzing: Venezuela expresses its concern over the acts of violence that are taking place in the city of Washington, USA; it condemns the political polarisation and hopes that people in the USA can open a new path toward stability and social justice. Your editor, like you, appreciates Venezuela’s tenderness. Yet it is a sad, sad day when basket case Venezuela must instruct the United States in democratic ways. We hazard the United States president fails to appreciate the jest. His critics, meantime, are howling for his instant resignation. The nation cannot suffer under his evils for even two additional weeks... He has incited riot, he has incited insurrection. His very hands are stained with blood. Even fellow Republicans are fleeing from him… rats off the sinking vessel. Recommended Link [Are you ready for Joe Biden's America?]( [Read more here...]( Most Americans aren’t. That’s why I’ve put together an emergency briefing detailing five simple steps you can take to protect your portfolio and your family. And you only have until Inauguration Day (January 20, 2021) to prepare. So don’t wait, see the plan I’m personally counting on to save me and my family here.

This fellow even likens January 6, 2021 to December 7, 1941 — a “day that will live in infamy”: It is very, very difficult to put into words what has transpired [yesterday]. I have never lived through or even imagined an experience like the one we have just witnessed in this Capitol. President Franklin Roosevelt set aside Dec. 7, 1941, as a day that will live in infamy. Unfortunately, we can now add Jan. 6, 2021, to that very short list of dates in American history that will live forever in infamy. The aforesaid Nancy Pelosi labels the present situation “an emergency.” She is yelling for impeachment — a second impeachment. Should impeachment fail, and if the president digs in… she advises Vice President Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Many others are with her. Our agents inform us Mr. Pence is sweating dreadfully under the heat… but that he will stay quiet. The president will serve his full four years. The show will run through January 20. Yet some demand he be clapped into jail for his seditions — there is a vacant cell in Guantanamo Bay, they note. This we mention only in passing. A jailing is highly unlikely. It’s Over But today the president finally struck his colors… and in essence conceded the election. He pledged a peaceful power transfer — and on the date appointed: Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. As a patriotic American whose heart beats true ‘neath red, white and blue… we are pleased beyond description that peace will prevail. We are nonetheless disappointed the show is ending. It has been immensely entertaining. But the curtain drops on every show. The White House will be tremendously dull without his roars. We next await the 2024 election between Kamala Harris... and Ivanka Trump... Regards, [Brian Maher] Brian Maher Managing Editor, The Daily Reckoning Editor’s note: [This could be the #1 threat to your money right now.]( And no, this threat has nothing to do with possible new legislation coming out of Washington, with the “blue wave” giving Democrats full control. It has nothing to do with the Green New Deal… packing the courts… or any kind of tax hike. It could be even more concerning. [Here’s]( the best take we’ve found detailing this threat. It’s a warning from a former Managing Director at Goldman Sachs who’s put her career on the line to share this information.
