[Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy This Pentagon Program Is About to Pay Out Like a Slot Machine Jason Simpkins | Oct 08, 2023 For years, Iâve been following a little-known Pentagon program... An absolute game-changer. Itâs called âSkyborg.â And itâs as futuristic as it sounds. The idea is to start pairing up fighter jets and bombers with drones. From now on, every pilot gets a little buddy, a robot wingman. Some are launched from the ground, while others are small enough to deploy from underneath a jetâs wing like a missile or in swarms from the docking bay of a cargo plane. Either way, theyâre extremely effective. The drones, or collaborative combat aircraft, perform a variety of functions. They can fly ahead of their manned counterparts, probing enemy defenses, mapping out targets, jamming anti-aircraft systems with electronic warfare, or outright destroying enemy targets with rockets and bombs. At a bare minimum, they act as bodyguards, literally taking bullets for their wards. That could potentially save the lives of human pilots. It could also save American taxpayers from losing a next-gen fighter that cost over $100 million. There's $322 Billion Worth of Lithium in Northwest Alberta...Why Can't Anybody Touch It? For more than 40 years, an oil company has been working a 671-square-mile chunk of northwestern Alberta, producing its lifeblood using brine thatâs kept in hundreds of massive storage ponds. These storage ponds have long been known to contain a massive lithium resource, totaling an estimated 4.3 million tons. Just recently a tiny Vancouver-based technology company, founded and headed by petrochemical industry veterans, figured out a way to extract the lithium from this brine, very quickly and very efficiently. So efficiently, in fact, that the company can filter this oil field brine, returning it to the pond after processing, with a better than 95% capture rate. Production of salable lithium will cost between $3,000 and $4,000 per ton, while market rates price lithium at $70,000 per ton. They know where the lithium is, they know how to extract it, and, as of now, they have an agreement in place to work this giant lithium-rich property. Commercial production is now projected to be in place by the middle of 2024, with buyers already lining up. [Interested?

Itâs not just an effort to aid or shield our multimillion-dollar manned fighters. Itâs an effort to connect our entire military through one massive cloud and, ultimately, build an autonomous unmanned fighting force. See, the information these drones collect is instantly uploaded to a cloud that can be accessed by the entirety of our armed forces. Even if a drone gets shot down, it will mark the coordinates of the enemy weapon that dealt the lethal blow. Then, its manned companion, or even a fellow drone, can fly in and avenge it. But thatâs not all.  If the droneâs camera detects an enemy fortification, armor column, ship, missile base, ammunition depot, sniper nest, or IED⦠It can relay that information to the cloud, effectively mapping out the entire theater of war in cyberspace where literally every unit in our nationâs vast military can access it. From troops on the ground to ships at sea and command centers at home, the entire armed forces has real-time intelligence regarding the enemyâs forces. Even satellites are integrated to instantly update our forces with the latest intelligence. Itâs all connected. âCopy and Pasteâ Top Money Managers' Stock Picks Into Your Portfolio Thanks to a recently discovered SEC hack⦠A group of the worldâs top money managers now have no choice but to hand over their top stock picks to investors like you. And the best part is you donât have to pay them a dime. All you need to do is use a simple form that I will show you how to access. [See this new âCopy and Pasteâ profit method.]( And soon, our ground troops, tanks, and ships will all have their own companion craft too. So whatâs the next step? Itâs to remove people from the equation altogether. This is the first big step into a future where robots do our fighting for us. It begins with unmanned companion craft as we wean ourselves off the belief that humans are needed to make crucial combat decisions. And it ends with automated, AI-powered drones taking over the show entirely â doing things no human has the physical or mental capacity to achieve. Iâm not trying to be harsh there. Iâm just telling you that a computer can fly a jet much faster, absorbing a gravitational force that would cause a human pilot to pass out. These robots are programmed to understand an aircraftâs exact capabilities and limitations and execute on that knowledge precisely. There is no sensor-to-shooter timeline â just an instantaneous lethal response when a target is identified. There is no instinct for self preservation â just ruthless, unflinching execution. And if you havenât yet guessed, thereâs a reason Iâm telling you this now. Itâs because this program was in its experimental phase for years as I followed it from its inception. Tesla Is Dead... Elon Musk Is Ruined Thanks to a new discovery â known as âBlue Gasâ â electric car companies like Tesla are about to go down in flames. âBlue Gasâ is 100% emission-free, can propel vehicles hundreds of miles, and allows cars to fully charge in just minutes. And the tiny company behind it is primed to absolutely shatter any gains ever paid out by Tesla. [Click here before this stock explodes in the coming months.]( But that ended months ago and now weâre in a new phase⦠The acquisition phase. Thatâs what happens when the Pentagon sees a successful program and asks Congress for the money to start buying the hardware. In this case, the Air Force has asked for $5.82 billion to build out its arsenal of collaborative combat aircraft. And Iâve got the name of the company thatâs going to get the lion's share of that money. This company is relatively small, too. Itâs not one of the âBig Fiveâ â Lockheed Martin, Boeing, RTX, Northrop Grumman, or General Dynamics. Of course, after this money starts coming in, the âBig Fiveâ could just as soon be the âBig Six.â And thatâd be a huge boon for investors who stand to multiply their money. So [get the details here](, because once Congress gives the green light, the stock is going to take off. Because like I said, this is just the beginning. The Air Force is going to get its companion craft, and then the Army and Navy will want theirs. And before long, they wonât just be companions. [Theyâll be our main fighting force.]( Fight on, [Jason Simpkins Signature] Jason Simpkins [follow basic]([@OCSimpkins on Twitter]( Jason Simpkins is Assistant Managing Editor of the Outsider Club and Investment Director of Wall Street's Proving Ground, a financial advisory focused on security companies and defense contractors.
