You know this. But you may not be fully aware of the urgency or the full implications:
At this very moment, the Islamic State is moving forward rapidly to expand its worldwide reach, with untold consequences for Americans, global trade, financial markets and investors everywhere.
The Islamic State has declared “provinces” in ten nations, including four that are among the top ten oil-reserve countries of the world — Saudi Arabia with 268 billion barrels of proven reserves, Iraq (140 billion barrels), Libya (48 billion), and Nigeria (37 billion).
It boasts over 40 affiliates in countries that encompass most of the world’s population outside China and most of the world’s wealth outside the United States.
It has mounted or inspired deadly terrorist attacks on every continent except Antarctica — in Algeria, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Turkey and more — many of which are home countries of high-net-worth investors.
