WARNING: What you're about to read will change your life.
They've worked in the shadows, held the world's most sensitive secrets, and enabled the U.S. government to stay ahead of global developments -- even if politicians ignored their warnings.
Now, for the first time, a team of intelligence veterans is stepping forward to level the playing field for everyday Americans.
Whether you're preparing for future catastrophe, safeguarding your business, protecting your loved ones, or fortifying your community, our insights are your Early Warning system.
Early Warning intelligence briefs have a proven track record of warning subscribers before big events occur.
But the proof is in the pudding, as they say...
Early Warning was early on COVID.
In December 2019, Forward Observer Founder and CEO Mike Shelby warned Early Warning subscribers of a new highly contagious virus that had popped up in China.
By mid-January 2020, he was citing Chinese airline data that showed Chinese authorities were knowingly putting COVID-positive patients on flights to the United States.
On January 22nd 2020, he told subscribers that he was selling off his portfolio due to what he believed was an impending market crash. The S&P 500 experienced days of nearly 8% losses, 10% losses, and 13% losses just over a month later. (Mike is not a financial professional, does not provide financial advice, and Early Warning is not a financial newsletter.)
Of course, the rest is well-documented history.
Early Warning provided daily intelligence reporting throughout "Floyd's Rebellion".
Also deemed the "Summer of Love," Mike and the Early Warning team published hundreds of daily intel briefs on protests, riots, extremist groups, and political violence during the summer of 2020 and into 2021.

For well over a year, we warned of thousands of scheduled riots and protests across the country, hundreds of left wing direct action demonstrations and cases of political violence, and close to a hundred chapters of various armed left wing extremist groups involved in the riots.
Early Warning was early on inflation.
In October 2020, Mike began warning subscribers that short-term deflation would eventually subside and pointed out the rising risk of inflation.
He then developed a list of traders, investors and hedge fund managers with a track record of accurate market calls -- a list he deemed "Smart Money" -- and regularly included their perspective and outlooks in Early Warning -- which was far more accurate than mainstream and financial media outlets.
Early Warning was early on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
On November 24th 2021, the Early Warning team warned the Russians would invade Ukraine and spelled out why we believed this would happen.
On the same day, we even published a video on YouTube entitled, "War in 90 Days". (It only received 17k views, unfortunately.)
The Russian invasion started exactly 90 days later, on February 24th 2022.
Surprise is the enemy.
This country is going to face another national emergency.
It could be another summer of riots, a contested or failed presidential election, a financial crisis, another catastrophic world war, or some other highly disruptive event.
At some point, the unthinkable is going to happen again.
When that emergency hits, consider these two scenarios.
In the first scenario, you lack critical information about what's really happening.
You have more questions than answers, and you have no clue what's coming next.
Or worse, you're being fed bad information that separates your perception from reality.
And you suffer directly as a result.
Your awareness suffers, your preparedness suffers, and maybe your personal and family safety suffers.
It's a down right dangerous situation.
Now consider a second scenario: you're getting daily Early Warning intelligence briefs throughout the emergency.
You have perspective and insight into what happens next.
You can plan your day around what's happening and minimize your risk.
And you can prepare for anticipated conditions in the hours and days ahead.
That's an ideal situation for anyone going into the next emergency.
The Early Warning team is working to uncover the next big risk event.

In the Summer of 2021, Mike Shelby did a deep dive study into what actually triggers hyperinflation.
While he believes hyperinflation is not likely in the near term, he compiled a "survival guide" that includes unique thinking on how to prepare and even become wealthy during periods of hyperinflation.
This is not your typical "just buy gold" financial study!
