When military leaders weaponize health protocols against service members who refuse to comply with unlawful orders, what happens to the oath to defend the Constitution? In this powerful episode, we're joined by Navy Commander Rob Green, author of "Defending the Constitution Behind Enemy Lines," who shares his experience of being systematically targeted and attacekd for refusing emergency use COVID tests and vaccines.Rob's story reveals the rampant violation of constitutional rights within the Department of Defense and how a leaked Navy standard operating procedure exposed the mass denial of religious accommodation requests. His courage in fighting these unlawful mandates helped secure federal injunctions that protected thousands of service members across all branches of the military.We also explore how the COVID mandate fight opened our eyes to the need for true independence, not just from government overreach, but from the financial systems that make coercion possible. Rob shares his journey from Dave Ramsey disciple to Infinite Banking Concept practitioner, and why building generational wealth through whole life insurance policies creates the financial freedom necessary to stand on principle.Follow Rob on X @robgreen1010 and buy his book here!

In this episode of the Power of Zero Show, host David McKnight addresses the claim that sees Paul Atkins owning 54 life insurance policies for an astounding 10% of his $327 million net worth. Someone may ask themselves why someone with such a massive net worth would own so many life insurance policies…and even why someone who has equity in Chinese tech giant Alibaba, holdings in cryptocurrency, and stakes in venture capital firms would also want their wealth growing in cash value life insurance policies. Looking at Atkins, who's President Trump's nominee to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission, can help understand how the ultra-wealthy view taxes and wealth accumulation. One possibility could be that Paul Atkins may have exhausted all of the usual sources of tax-deferred and tax-free growth available to him through government-sponsored retirement plans.  Something worth remembering: Cash Value Life Insurance policies don't have any income threshold, and they have no contribution limits at all. A second potential scenario that has led Atkins to have over 50 life insurance policies is that he might be looking for a way to diversify his holdings. David points out to the fact that owning shares in single stocks like Alibaba – like Atkins does – can be a fairly risky proposition. Cash value and life insurance policies like whole life or IULs, on the other hand, aren't exposed to market risk. There's yet another possibility: Atkins may not be the insured on all the policies. According to the ethics filings, the cash value of the policies in question ranges from as low as $1,000 to well over $1 million. For some experts, that may be a sign that Atkins is investing in life settlements. The final potential scenario is the one in which Atkins owns all the policies for the purpose of estate planning. David points out that there are many more efficient ways to purchase life insurance policies than buying 54 separate contracts David shares that he understands the concept of wanting to spread your risk out among multiple carriers, but feels that doing so through the purchase of 54 different policies is a bit extreme. David points out that diversifying away from the stock market with some of your portfolio is, typically, a good idea. Want safe and productive growth without the risks associated with traditional bond allocations? Look at cash value life insurance policies, says David. Remember: cash value life insurance can also be beneficial because many carriers allow you to receive your death benefit in advance of your death. While it's true that cash value life insurance isn't for everyone, Paul Atkins ethics disclosure shows that it can play a critical role in someone's long-term wealth-building strategy.     Mentioned in this episode: David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Paul Atkins Alibaba

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos la salida a Bolsa de Coinbase: la mayor empresa de criptomonedas del mundo se estrena hoy en el S&P 500. Esto es un hito dentro del mundo cripto ya que es la primera compañía de este mundillo en entrar en el Standard and Poor's. La noticia hizo que el pasado 13 de mayo sus acciones subieran un 24%. Lejos eso sí, quedan sus máximos de 340 dólares, en plena fiebre por los cripto activos que desató la victoria de Donald Trump. De hecho, su entrada se puede entender desde los cambios desatados por la Administración Trump: con él se produjo la llegada de Paul Atkins. La Comisión de Bolsa y Valores siempre había sido muy reacia a la incorporación de empresas cripto a la Bolsa y sobre ellas siempre pendía una regulación que muchas consideraban como “hostil”. La llegada de Atkins trae un soplo de aire fresco a estas compañías. De hecho, empresas como Gemini, Bit Go o el exchange Kraken se están preparando para su salida a Bolsa este año. Las malas noticias le han llegado a Coinbase en forma de ciberseguridad. El jueves un grupo de hackers sobornaron a empleados de atención al cliente para sacar información para conseguir datos de los usuarios de la empresa. Ahora los piratas informáticos exigen 20 millones de dólares para que los datos de más de 10.000 usuarios no salgan a la luz. Tal y como le dijo la empresa a la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores el ataque le podría costar entre 150 y 400 millones de euros. Brian Armstrong. Mayo ha sido un mes muy movido para la compañía, ya que a principios de mes anunció la compra del grupo dubaití Deribit por 2.900 millones de dólares. Es la mayor operación realizada en el mercado digital. Greg Tusar, director de producto institucional de Coinbase, afirmaba entonces que “las criptomonedas están a punto de experimentar una expansión significativa”. Coinbase es una plataforma de comercio de criptomonedas con sede en San Francisco, California. Gestiona activos digitales en 190 países en todo el mundo. La compañía fue fundada en 2012 por Brian Armstrong y Fred Ehrsam y solo dos años después la plataforma creció a un millón de usuarios. Uno de sus problemas más recurrentes es también bastante irónico: los usuarios siempre se han quejado del departamento de Aten

This Day in Legal History: SCOTUS Upholds CFPB Funding StructureOn May 16, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a major ruling in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America, Ltd., upholding the constitutionality of the CFPB's funding structure. In a 7–2 decision, the Court held that the agency's funding—drawn from the Federal Reserve and not subject to annual congressional appropriations—does not violate the Appropriations Clause of the Constitution. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice Roberts emphasized that the Constitution permits flexibility in funding mechanisms so long as they are authorized by law and subject to congressional oversight in some form. The ruling affirmed the CFPB's continued ability to regulate financial institutions and enforce consumer protection laws independent of Congress's annual budget process.The decision marked a significant moment in the Court's treatment of agency independence, particularly at a time of renewed scrutiny of the administrative state. It was widely seen as a victory for supporters of the CFPB, which had faced ongoing legal and political challenges since its creation under the Dodd-Frank Act in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. However, the case also highlighted the growing skepticism among certain justices—and lawmakers—about the breadth of agency power and accountability.Just one year later, the CFPB's future is again uncertain. With a new administration openly hostile to the agency and legislative efforts underway to curtail its authority or restructure its funding, the May 2024 decision is already being treated as legal history. Though the Court upheld the agency's funding, the political battle over the CFPB continues, casting doubt on how long the victory will stand.Intel appeared before the EU General Court to contest a €376 million ($421.4 million) antitrust fine reimposed by the European Commission. The fine stems from the Commission's 2009 decision, which originally imposed a record €1.06 billion penalty for Intel's actions that allegedly excluded rival AMD from the market. Though the General Court overturned the majority of that decision in 2022, it upheld a portion related to so-called “naked restrictions”—payments Intel made to HP, Acer, and Lenovo to delay or halt rival products between 2002 and 2006.Intel's lawyer argued that the violations were narrow and tactical, not part of a broader strategy to shut out competitors from the x86 chip market. He claimed the Commission failed to weigh the limited impact of those actions and imposed a disproportionate and unfair fine. The Commission countered that the fine followed established guidelines and represented only a small fraction of Intel's turnover, asserting that the penalty was appropriate for the seriousness of the conduct.Both sides asked the court to settle the matter by determining the appropriate fine amount. A decision is expected in the coming months.Intel spars with EU regulators over $421.4 million antitrust fine | ReutersA federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., heard arguments in a case that could redefine the U.S. president's authority to remove officials from independent federal agencies. The Trump administration is appealing two lower court decisions that reinstated Democratic officials Cathy Harris to the Merit Systems Protection Board and Gwynne Wilcox to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) after President Trump removed them without cause earlier this year. Both boards, which handle labor disputes and federal employee appeals, were left effectively inoperable due to vacancies, with thousands of pending cases.The administration argues that statutory protections limiting removals to “cause” violate the president's constitutional authority to control the executive branch. Trump's legal team claims that these agencies exercise substantial executive power and therefore should not be shielded from presidential oversight. The case may hinge on Humphrey's Executor, a 1935 Supreme Court decision that upheld removal protections for members of independent commissions like the Federal Trade Commission. Conservative judges—including two Trump appointees on the panel—have recently questioned the decision's reach.If the D.C. Circuit sides with Trump, it could pave the way for a broader dismantling of long-standing removal protections across federal agencies. Legal scholars warn that such a move could give the president far-reaching power to reshape regulatory policy by purging officials who don't align with the administration's agenda. The case could ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court and lead to a narrowing or overruling of Humphrey's Executor.US court to weigh Trump's powers to fire Democrats from federal agencies | ReutersData obtained through a public records request reveals that recent buyouts at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have significantly reduced staffing in key divisions. The legal, investment management, and trading and markets offices experienced workforce cuts ranging from 15% to 19% over just a few weeks. Regional offices in Chicago and Denver also saw nearly 20% reductions. Overall, the SEC's full-time staff has shrunk by 12% since January, with agency chair Paul Atkins recently noting a 15% decrease since October.These losses come amid ongoing hiring freezes and budget restrictions. While Atkins suggested that some roles may be refilled, he did not dismiss the possibility of more cuts. In parallel, more than 20 SEC employees have been reassigned to focus on contract reviews, part of a broader cost-cutting initiative coordinated with the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE), led by Elon Musk. DGE has expanded its presence at SEC headquarters and is reviewing agency operations, particularly IT services, to identify further savings.The SEC declined to comment on the staffing reductions, though a spokesperson confirmed it is working with DGE to improve efficiency. The full implications of these staffing losses for the agency's regulatory functions remain unclear.SEC buyouts hit legal, investment offices hardest, data shows | ReutersMeta Platforms asked a federal judge to dismiss the Federal Trade Commission's antitrust lawsuit, arguing the agency failed to prove that the company holds an illegal monopoly in social media. The case, which centers on Meta's acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, claims these deals were aimed at neutralizing potential rivals and maintaining dominance in the market for apps used to share personal updates. The FTC wants to unwind those acquisitions, made more than a decade ago.Meta contends the FTC's case falls short of demonstrating that WhatsApp and Instagram posed meaningful competitive threats at the time of acquisition. The company pointed to internal evidence suggesting WhatsApp had no ambitions to become a social media platform and that Instagram actually thrived post-acquisition. Meta also argued the FTC has not clearly defined the relevant market, especially given competition from platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, and X (formerly Twitter), which Meta says all compete for user attention.The company maintains that its products face constant pressure to evolve in response to competitors. If the judge denies Meta's request to end the case now, the trial will continue through June with closing arguments and final briefs expected afterward. A ruling that Meta holds an illegal monopoly would trigger a second trial focused on potential remedies.Meta asks judge to rule that FTC failed to prove its monopoly case | ReutersThis week's closing theme is the second movement of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1, titled “Kräftig bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell. Recht gemächlich”, which translates roughly to “Strongly moving, but not too fast. Quite leisurely.” Composed in the late 1880s and premiered in 1889, Mahler's First Symphony marked his audacious entry into the world of symphonic writing. At once expansive and deeply personal, the work fuses Romantic tradition with the beginnings of Mahler's own, modern voice.The second movement—our focus this week—is a rustic Ländler, an Austrian folk dance form, reimagined with orchestral power and emotional complexity. Mahler, who was born in 1860 in what is now the Czech Republic, grew up surrounded by folk tunes and military marches, and these influences saturate this section of the symphony. It opens with swagger and energy, driven by bold rhythms and a sense of physicality, before softening into a slower trio section that offers brief lyrical repose.Though the movement has a lively surface, its contrasting moods reflect Mahler's signature ability to intertwine the playful and the profound. His orchestration here is vivid but never ornamental—every detail serves a dramatic or emotional purpose. Mahler's symphonies often contemplate mortality, memory, and transcendence, but this movement reminds us that he could also be joyful, ironic, and grounded in the sounds of real life.By the time of his death in 1911, Mahler had transformed the symphony into a vessel for existential expression, bridging the 19th and 20th centuries. This movement from his First hints at all that was to come. As our week closes, we leave you with this music—bold, earthy, and unmistakably Mahler.Without further ado, Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1, titled “Kräftig bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell. Recht gemächlich.” This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

De cryptomarkt kende deze week een opvallende opleving. De koers van Bitcoin steeg naar 94.200 dollar, zo’n veertien procent hoger dan een week eerder. Het blijft lastig te verklaren waar die stijging precies vandaan komt, maar het lijkt erop dat beleggers opnieuw het vertrouwen vinden in Bitcoin als digitaal goud. Tegelijkertijd doen ook andere risicovolle beleggingen het goed. Tweede Paasdag viel extra op: terwijl de Amerikaanse aandelenmarkten onder druk stonden, maakte Bitcoin juist een sprong van vier procent. Ook altcoins lieten zich van hun beste kant zien, met Solana en Dogecoin als belangrijkste uitschieters, wat duidt op een flinke toename van de risicobereidheid onder beleggers. De Trump Coin trok deze week ook veel aandacht. De prijs van de token steeg woensdag met bijna zeventig procent, nadat bekend werd dat de 220 grootste bezitters van de munt zijn uitgenodigd voor een diner met voormalig president Trump. Dit slimme marketingoffensief viel samen met de uitgifte van driehonderd miljoen dollar aan nieuwe munten op 18 april. De familie Trump en het team achter de token kunnen door deze strategie op termijn miljarden dollars incasseren, zij het geleidelijk. Inmiddels schommelt de prijs van de Trump Coin rond de twaalf dollar, fors lager dan het hoogtepunt van 73 dollar in januari. De markt kijkt uit naar de beelden van het exclusieve diner in Washington, waar cryptomiljonairs samenkomen met de voormalige president. Opvallend nieuws kwam er ook van vier grote financiële partijen: Tether, Softbank, Bitfinex en Cantor Fitzgerald werken samen aan een investeringsvehikel voor Bitcoin met een waarde van drie miljard dollar. Het nieuwe bedrijf, dat de naam 21 Capital moet krijgen, wordt naar verwachting beursgenoteerd en vormt daarmee een serieuze concurrent voor Microstrategy, het bedrijf van Michael Saylor. Microstrategy staat bekend om zijn strategie om via leningen en aandelenuitgiftes zoveel mogelijk bitcoin op de balans te zetten, met inmiddels meer dan vijftig miljard dollar aan bitcoin in bezit. Of 21 Capital dezelfde koers gaat varen, valt nog te bezien, maar Cantor Fitzgerald is van plan om via de markt 550 miljoen dollar op te halen voor bitcoin-aankopen, terwijl Tether, Softbank en Bitfinex gezamenlijk bijna drie miljard dollar investeren. De betrokkenheid van de zoon van minister van Economische Zaken Howard Lutnick bij Cantor Fitzgerald roept vragen op over de gunstige omstandigheden waaronder het bedrijf opereert. In het verlengde daarvan is de benoeming van Paul Atkins als nieuwe voorzitter van de Amerikaanse beurswaakhond SEC van groot belang. Zijn installatie markeert een breuk met het beleid van voorganger Gary Gensler, die bekendstond als streng voor de cryptosector. Atkins, door voormalig president Trump voorgedragen, benadrukte bij zijn aantreden het belang van duidelijke regelgeving voor de cryptowereld. In de aanloop naar zijn benoeming trok de SEC al diverse rechtszaken tegen cryptobedrijven in. Verwacht wordt dat het klimaat voor grote cryptobedrijven in de Verenigde Staten onder Atkins verder zal verbeteren. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Dennis Post, belasting- en blockchainexpert bij EY. We hebben het over een nieuwe Europese richtlijn, DAC8. Die verplicht crypto-dienstverleners om gegevens over al jouw transacties te delen met de belastingdienst.

It seems we have reached an inflection point in the fight to adopt what President Trump has called an “America First Investment Policy”: Last week, two influential Wall Street financiers appear to have broken with their colleagues' determination to continue investing in China first. Friday morning, Shark Tank personality Kevin O'Leary objected to the unfairness of Communist Chinese companies enjoying privileged access to U.S. capital markets. He demanded that Paul Atkins, the Securities and Exchange Commission's newly confirmed chairman, ensure that they instead comply with our laws and regulations – just as O'Leary's companies and everybody elses' must.  Later that day, BlackRock chairman Larry Fink declared that “nefarious” Chinese companies should be delisted from our capital markets. If he now walks the walk, and divests his company's vast holdings propping up Xi Jinping's regime, we may finally stop underwriting our enemy.    This is Frank Gaffney.

For a dozen years, millions of U.S. investors have unwittingly had their pensions, college savings and other funds used to underwrite companies working for the Chinese military. That means they've helped our mortal enemy buy the weapons that may be used to kill them – and countless other Americans.  President Trump has announced an America First Investment Policy to end this insane practice. But top Wall Street leaders like Jamie Dimon, Brian Moynihan, Ted Pick and David Solomon are helping to raise at least another $7 billion for one such company called CATL. Their “China First” policy subverts Mr. Trump's, and threatens our national security. Today, Paul Atkins will have his nomination to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission considered in a Senate Banking Committee hearing. We need to know: Will he help enforce America First investing – or further enable the Chinese threat?

Z As 25 major cryptocurrency figures gather at the White House tomorrow for a summit on establishing an American crypto reserve, our Narativ investigation has uncovered a deeply troubling pattern: three coordinated "pump and dump" operations that have transferred billions from ordinary Americans to a select few insiders with direct ties to Donald Trump. The December 5th Diversion The first operation occurred on December 5th while the nation was distracted by the assassination of the UnitedHealth CEO. In this carefully orchestrated sequence, Trump appointed David Sacks as "Crypto Czar" and Paul Atkins as SEC Chair – both staunch crypto advocates. Bitcoin surged from $70,000 to $108,000 before dropping to $85,000, generating an estimated $700 million windfall for Elon Musk's companies Tesla and SpaceX, which hold substantial Bitcoin on their balance sheets. As economist Peter Schiff noted in our exclusive interview, "If they were doing this with securities, they'd be in jail. But because these things are not securities, they just say they're collectibles. The pump and dump and insider trading or stock manipulation, none of that applies." The Meme Coin Massacre The second operation centered on the Trump and Melania meme coins launched just before the inauguration. Our investigation revealed that a mere 31 traders collected $675 million in profits while more than 800,000 investors lost a collective $2 billion – a staggering winner-to-loser ratio of 1:25,806. Meanwhile, the Trump family reportedly pocketed approximately $100 million in trading fees alone. The pattern is unmistakable: a 12-hour gap between the contract creation and public announcement provided insiders ample time to accumulate tokens at pennies on the dollar before the coordinated public push drove prices up nearly 40,000%. The Strategic Reserve Ruse The third operation unfolded just last Sunday when Trump announced on Truth Social that "a U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve will elevate this critical industry" and specifically mentioned three cryptocurrencies: XRP, SOL, and ADA. As Schiff observed, "Donald Trump did not write that. I would bet almost anything that he had nothing to do with writing that post. There's no way that Donald Trump knows that ADA is the symbol for Cardano." The post – suspicious in both its timing and content – triggered immediate price spikes in the mentioned cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin shot up to $95,000 before quickly falling as investors realized the announcement was merely promotion for the upcoming summit rather than concrete policy. "They timed that, they shot the price up, and then they started selling," Schiff explained. "I bet they made hundreds of millions. These three coins were up 30, 40, 50% initially. Of course, it was a rug pull." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
