We Help You Solve the Three Major Information Problems
Let’s see if these sound familiar to you…
“You just can’t trust the media anymore.“
“I’m inundated with so much daily information. I don’t have enough time or interest.“
“Even alternative media sources are prone to freaking out over nothing and providing bad information.“
Overthrow the Tyranny of Noise
Mike Shelby here. I’m a former Intelligence NCO, veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, and CEO of Forward Observer. And I’m also what you might call a “prepper”.
Today I’m going to share how we can help you solve three major problems.
PROBLEM #1
“You just can’t trust the mainstream media anymore.”
Hundreds of readers have told me some version of this over the past seven years of running Forward Observer.
In fact, that loss of public trust with news sources is one reason why we have subscribers at all… so thanks, CNN!
Let me tell you about another complaint I hear…
PROBLEM #2
“I’m inundated with daily information. It’s too much and I don’t have the time or the interest.”
That’s a big problem, and I’m guessing it affects us all.
Media outlets and social media generate a massive amount of noise.
The good news is that tuning out the static and improving your signal-to-noise ratio is a solvable problem.
We can solve that with one weekly assessment that you can scan and act on.
PROBLEM #3
“Even the alternative media is prone to freaking out over nothing and providing bad information.”
Remember when the pundits said that new *cough* in China wasn’t a big deal (and then kept lying about natural immunity)?
And remember when the pundits said Russia wouldn’t invade Ukraine, and then were surprised when global commodities spiked?
And remember when millions of Americans were going to die due to the food shortages of 2022? Those predictions weren’t too long ago! (Luckily, we explained why this would not happen…)
Compare that to my company, Forward Observer:
We were early on COVID.
Early on the Russian invasion.
And we’re always trying to be early on the next big thing.
We are 100% subscriber-funded. If we get it wrong, customers leave. We have every incentive to be timely, relevant, accurate and right!
Here’s how we can solve all three of these problems, quickly and efficiently…
Robert Cook (our domestic analyst) and I were talking the other day — what if we at Forward Observer could solve all three problems?
What if we produced an intel brief that provides perspective on, say, a half dozen sectors:
- Agriculture & the Food Supply
- Oil & Energy
- Economics & Finance (& the financial crisis)
- Commerce & Supply Chain
- Low Intensity Conflict (political violence)
- Geostrategic Shocks (the risk of geopolitical crisis & war)
What if we were able to use our network of industry contacts to ask about the risk of disruption to our lives?
What if we were able to provide outlooks on those risks and when potential disruption could occur?
And what if we sent out one weekly email so readers could take informed action on the latest disruption indicators?
That’s exactly what the National Intelligence Bulletin is.
