Summary

In Episode 244 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with the always congenial, yet uncompromisingly opinionated chicken, Doomberg.

Doomberg’s expertise in heavy industry makes him the perfect guest to discuss what’s happening in energy and commodity markets. So, it’s no surprise that he and Demetri talked about this, as well as the investment opportunities in uranium, which Doomberg has written about extensively in his most recent post on substack titled “Sitting Down With Sprott.” The two also discuss the renewed lockdowns in Shanghai, how they compound existing global food and supply chain issues, and how those issues are part of a larger set of challenges that will lead to food shortages, particularly in the developing world. This has implications for everyone on the planet, even the developed countries, but especially the Europeans who will experience even more migratory pressure from Africa and the Middle East. This adds to the destabilizing political forces that we’ve described so many times on this podcast. this part of the episode along with a discussion about the future monetary system are all in the second half of their conversation, which is available to premium subscribers only.

0:00.0	What's up everybody? My name is Demetra Cuffinus and you're listening to Hidden Forces,
0:06.0	a podcast that inspires investors, entrepreneurs and everyday citizens to challenge consensus
0:13.0	narratives and to learn how to think critically about the systems of power shaping our world.
0:18.8	My guest in this week's episode is the always thoughtful and congenial yet uncompromisingly
0:24.2	opinionated chicken with his own sub-stack, Doombird. Or as our mutual friend Grant Williams
0:29.7	likes to call him, Doomie. And today's conversation is extra Doomie because unfortunately the
0:35.7	new cycle has given us plenty of reasons to feel that way. This was as you might expect
0:41.4	a very informative conversation. Doombird is especially good on breaking down what's
0:46.2	happening in energy and commodity markets so it's no surprise that we talked about that
0:50.9	as well as the investment opportunities in Uranium. But we also discussed the renewed
0:54.5	lockdowns in Shanghai and how they compound existing global food and supply chain issues
0:59.6	and how those issues are part of a larger set of challenges that are going to lead inevitably
1:05.1	to food shortages that are going to hit the developing world particularly hard. And that
1:09.3	has implications for everyone on the planet, even the developed countries, but especially
1:13.6	the Europeans will experience even more migratory pressure into Europe from Africa and the
1:19.6	Middle East, which only adds to the destabilizing political forces that we've described so
1:25.0	many times on this podcast. That part of the episode along with a discussion about the
1:29.6	future monetary system are all in the second half of our conversation, which is available
1:34.9	to premium subscribers only. Since some of this episode deals with markets and investing,
1:40.3	it should be absolutely clear that nothing we say on this podcast can or should be viewed
1:45.8	as financial advice. All opinions expressed by me and my guests are solely our own opinions
1:51.3	and should not be relied upon as the basis for financial decisions. And with that, I hope
