I've been getting a lot of questions this week all around the same theme and that is Neil how do
we best prepare for 2026 what if there's some sort of a collapse a lot of people are asking the same
thing around collapse now whether that's financial or societal or something else I mean I want to
start by saying I don't really see that this year but I do see a lot of displacement and a lot
of shocks as a result of AI and I've actually changed my forecast I've actually brought some
of my forecast forward this week on my private community forecast that people three years ago
said were absolutely crazy you know when I was talking about job displacement especially around
the white color jobs way way before the media was talking about the white color wave as it
I was talking about this a long long time ago in fact I said that if I were going to be training
right now I wouldn't be going to university I'd be going to a college and learning some sort of
skill around like it'd be an electrician or a plumber or a technician or an engineer something
around these things especially around AI and data centers and the energy that's required
I think that's what a lot of people are missing at the moment is that everyone's focused on AI
but they're missing the bigger picture and this is the data centers and they're even missing the
bigger picture from that and that's the energy they just isn't enough energy required and there
aren't enough trades required to actually build a lot of this infrastructure and I just said I'd
brought my forecast forward so before I was really talking about how I thought it would
take up to five years to displace a lot of these jobs and even last year I still thought we were a
couple of you know two to three years away with this displacement but now I've really brought
this forward I genuinely think at the speed of of progress we're seeing there were only 12 to 18
months I'm going to say 18 months now before we can I'm not saying will but can see a massive
displacement of white collar knowledge worker jobs so if you know your job requires you to
think and do brain work I do think that AI is going to be able to do this in about 18 months time
so the middle of 2027 and that's why the first point I'm going to talk around is how I think
it's really important for you to prepare for this future because I don't think the economy
is going to be able to absorb all of the workers faster than they're going to be displaced by AI
and this will cause a lot of real problems in society some serious societal problems I mean
we're already seeing because we're at the end of this fourth turning cycle and that's the
Strauss-Haus model of the fourth turning we're already in this cycle where we've got a
culmination of finance political left versus right military geopolitical there's all sorts of things
happening at the same time energy shocks as well food I think is going to be a crucial one as well
as we move forward so I think the first tip I can give you then on how to prepare is to really
maintain if you've taken any of my programs courses you'll know in the debt annihilation
program for example I always talk about this emergency buffer that you need to have and how
most people just don't have an emergency buffer and typically I would usually say you need about
three months minimum for emergencies but I'm going to say that in this era of how crazy things are
you're going to need a lot more than that it doesn't have to be savings just sat there doing
nothing in an account it can be other assets as well but I really think you need to start
thinking more towards six months or more for some people that might need to be retrained after a job
loss it could be 12 months see I know that sounds extreme but you've really got to start planning
for that now um would I be holding bonds and fix assets government bonds and things no I would
not I've actually sold every single one of these I don't own any of them for any country
because I think we're very close now to what I've been talking about for a number of years
around the dire devaluation of fiat obviously the currency fiat is Latin for let it be done
so it tells you exactly what you need to know about the the currency but I've also reduced my exposure
to kind of more speculative assets I think everyone's piling into AI and I don't think that's the
wrong move I think it's actually quite a good move in some regards but only as part of a
diversified portfolio I think people are really missing though the bigger picture
which is the energy and the materials needed for the data centers but I know that most investors
and forecasters will tell you to pile into the AI stocks but when I see everyone piling in there
I start looking for other avenues and looking at what other people have missed and if you
followed my forecast since what back to 2020 yeah you'll know how those have gone so I've
actually diversified quite heavily in recent years these are things like precious metals
physical gold and silver and property land I mean some of them are more recurring assets I'm
actually getting paid an income and I've even diversified within each asset to make sure that
if the worst case occurs I would still get paid off different assets within that category
I've also reduced my exposure with with the currency as well I now hold bank accounts in
other countries in other currencies and I really think this is important because of a number of
reports that I've seen recently I've shared them with you everything from the digital currencies
some of the outrageous fraud that we saw from governments in other countries Nigeria I think
was probably one of the worst that did it but even the EU is saying that as a result of when they
move over to the new digital currency you'll only be able to hold a small amount and the previous
capital could be destroyed and of course they talked about they modeled bank runs and bank
failures and all sorts of things I don't I just don't even want to get into that I rather
just step out of that in the first place and have different currencies in different accounts
so that I'm diversified I mean even a second residency as you all know I got myself a very
cheap second residency in Thailand and it wasn't just because the residency was cheap I kind of
did a risk analysis of different countries and for me this was incredibly low risk and high
reward one of the highest living standards in the world if you earn a western wage of course
if you don't then obviously not but there are a number of things that you can do very
similar to this to just kind of get yourself prepared now visas are another thing that that
I don't really talk about much on the channel I do in the private community but visas you can get
very very cheap visas my residency visa was only a few hundred pounds you know five hundred
bucks dollars whatever it wasn't a lot at all very simple to get but you've really got to
make a decision based on where you feel comfortable just because I like a certain country
doesn't mean you will so you've really got to decide and think about where you think you'd
most like to go and I do really think you should think about this even before any sort of collapse
whether that comes or not because we are seeing some really serious events ever since 2020 we've
been seeing seeing these sort of serious events emergency measures and governments doing things
that before then you would think were absolutely crazy some of the things that they've done in
recent years but this is becoming normalized now and that's obviously very concerning and by the
way real quick if you're not subscribed to the channel please subscribe to the channel please
click the like button do the usual stuff I do read the comments so I'd love to hear your
thoughts on what I'm saying here share this video with a friend something like that you know
there is a lot of things that you can do look in the description here I always give you
free reports free downloads there's free training some of these trainings are an hour or two long
you know these are completely free for you I just want to help as many people as I possibly can I put
discount codes on my more expensive courses in the description as well so there's a lot
that you can start doing right away but honestly I'd start with that subscribing I cover geopolitical
and finance topics that really matter like these are things that are really important to you and your
family and will save you if if things start to go downhill even faster so let's talk about some more
kind of on the ground things then that you can prepare yourself with and I guess one of them for
me is one of the first things I always look at and that's being an ex-military man here of
course ex-army for 10 years I always look at the the sort of supply chains I start with the basics
I start with water I then move on to food can I get clean water you've seen me promote different
things on the channel before and how you can have clean water at home instead of storing loads
of bottles which just isn't going to work long term I've talked about food and readiness
things like that and make sure you've got the right food and not things are going to expire
after a month okay so we've kind of covered a lot of this over and over again on the channel here
so having that sort of that foundational level of preparedness is important but what about working
well I think it's important to have income streams that are divested from AI or what AI could take
from you and even if you look at a lot of the big companies on the stock markets some of these
tech knowledge-based companies they're reducing employees which is obviously very tragic
what they're building up on is the sort of AIs that do the knowledge work so they're trying to
get ahead of the game and I think it's important that you do the same but even as a side angle
to this then I think it's really important that you are really careful about the information
you receive as well and who you get your information from because what I've seen
ever since 2020 well even before 2020 was media getting even more corrupt it's I think it's probably
the lowest trust at any time right now in the media especially in this current cycle that we're in
levels of government trust they are at record lows right across the western world now there's a
couple of exceptions to that I know but the trust in the government is really really at an all
time low as well and is there any surprise with some of the things that we're seeing we talked
about on Monday what the Dutch government are doing with taxing people on on money they haven't
even made a profit on we you know you look at what's happening in the UK or the taxes you see
what they're doing to the people in the UK cancelling elections and all sorts it's really
terrible what is happening so you've got to be really careful where you get your information
from because there'll be a lot of AI fake news and deep fakes and all the other stuff coming out
very shortly and the media gets called out almost daily on lying and and and faking things which
is why I actually don't get my information from the mainstream media I haven't in a in a long time
and I know a lot of you trust me you get your information from me because I do a ton of research
absolutely hours and hours and hours every single day and I have to check everything to
make sure it's accurate before I bring it to you and I really do think that many of these
Western governments will start implementing more dictatorial measures is that a word dictatorial
I'm I'm running with it anyway I think it is but I do I think they're going to be
implementing some serious measures going down the line censorship and reduction of movement
all sorts of things I think are coming and I think that's going to be on top of
the central bank digital currency rollouts the new digital IDs the the tracking that they're going
to do the debasement of currency the new stimulus which of course creates more inflation I think
that's going to lead to even more wealth taxes as the wealthy start to move from relocate from
one location to another or even one state to another state I think really what we're
going into is a period of volatility and the other warning I want to really give you around this is
from a first-hand experience that I've experienced I've been to over 75 countries around the world
now a lot I know and a lot of those were with the military and one thing I saw personally first
hand was a breakdown one day the government and some other there was some issues financially
government and within I would say the space of when we were sort of warned off in the morning
because I was just part of a very small team in country to sort of be aware of this by the time
we got the warning in the morning it was no later than say 2 p.m. 3 p.m. that afternoon
that the whole thing was just absolutely collapsing and people were looting they were
they were doing very bad things to each other shall we say I think you understand what I mean
theft kicking doors in food water I mean grabbing absolutely anything it was
so crazy that we had to I mean we basically jumped on the heli and got out really really quick
and this is obviously an extreme example of a different country but
you I have people watching from all around the world I think there's probably about 60
countries that that watch me on a sort of weekly basis here so this will probably apply to one of
you at some point or another but just make sure that you're prepared as I always say have a
backup plan and you don't want to be in big cities without a backup plan when all of this
comes down like for example I've shared with you before how I source a lot of my food from
local farms and local growers and alongside that is is good communities so where I live I have very
very good communities there are eight no nine people within the community or who are ex-military
so we're you know we're very trained individuals and I know that if anything ever went down
that we wouldn't really for at least the first year or two have to rely on any sort of
government help or or anything like that now again that's an extreme example this is this is me
but it's important for me to plan and and prepare in this way because this is part of what I do I
help people to prepare for any eventuality and if you're not part of the private community you
can find the the link for that below over on patreon so as well as preparing for all those
things I guess you've got to prepare yourself psychologically as well that's one of the
things that that people usually don't prepare for and if they're not quite strong and resilient
disciplined people then it can be quite tough on those sort of those sort of people so that's
another one but look you also have opportunity in times like this as well for each crisis I've
always looked at that crisis and looked for the opportunity and I've always come out well
on the other side of it and I mean that from various perspective it's not just
investments it's finding those opportunities and and sort of with my entrepreneurial mind
going in after those opportunities as well so to really wrap this up and summarize that
I think it's important for you now to start thinking about what you could do not necessarily
for a 2026 collapse here but what could you do right now that would really help you and put
you in a better position for later on are you just focused on a nine to five grind and saving saving
saving when those savings could be hit and wiped out by well all sorts of things could could hit
that whether it's a cyber attack on the financial system whether it's a digital currency launch
whether it's a debasement of currency I mean there's so many things that could hit it
but are you investing in assets are you buying tangible physical things that will not only survive
but thrive if we do have a major crisis are you in control of your own cash flow well if you're at
a nine to five maybe maybe you're not so that's another thing to think about I really think
the job world is about to change dramatically in the next few years you're going to see some
major changes so I'd start looking ahead of it now rather than waiting for it to hit you
and then I put less trust in the government and the media and more trust in yourself and people
that you honestly follow maybe it's social media people and just kind of I'm not saying me I'm
saying whoever that is for you you know really just follow them listen to what they're doing
and just try and get as much information as possible like I said free reports free trainings
for you just try and get as much as you possibly can from them if you have funds you know private
communities take their courses but I think right now you really need to be preparing as best as you
can for the new world that we're going into thank you so much for watching this video today thank
you for sharing it with someone else that you think is under prepared and subscribing and apart
from that take care god bless and I'll see you on the next video
