Edward Dowd is a founding partner of Phinance Technologies, a global macro alternative investment firm. He is also the author of Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022. Ed is widely known for having worked on Wall Street and at BlackRock.
He was on my podcast a few months ago and it was a great conversation.
Cause Unknown
In spite of Ed’s book being full of data, it is a fairly easy read which makes it accessible to most people.
2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID.
It is truly both unbelievable and hilarious to observe the complete denial from the establishment. In fact, I am forced to conclude that they know the truth but are being deliberately disingenuous because of their financial interests linked to the pharmaceutical industry and actors such as Bill Gates and George Soros.
Our conversation
Ed’s conversation with me, which centred around the book, was funny and uplifting in spite of the rather dark overarching thread.
He also offered a few economic insights and some hope.
