Book Description

January 16, 2012
Who’s really to blame for America’s catastrophic financial meltdown and devastating national recession? Contrary to what the “Occupy Movement” might tell you, it’s not greedy Wall Street executives. No, as one of America’s top financial professionals reveals in this shocking new book, the real culprit is economic warfare, with our foreign enemies exploiting our lurking financial weaknesses.

In Secret Weapon, Kevin D. Freeman unveils how all the evidence—including motive, means, and opportunity—points to America’s foreign enemies as deliberately pushing our economy over the brink.
In this stunning exposé, Freeman reveals:

The evidence linking Communist China and Islamic finance to economic warfare against the United States
Why initial reports linked the 2008 stock market crash to economic terrorism—and why the Obama administration continues to look the other way
How the financial attack unfolded—and how the perpetrators tried to cover their tracks
Why you should expect another financial attack even more devastating than the last one—and how you can protect yourself from it

In Secret Weapon you’ll learn what our enemies know and what the Obama administration has chosen to ignore—that our financial system is profoundly vulnerable to financial terrorism, and that we are being targeted for further and even more destructive attacks by our enemies, who want to cripple America as the world’s leading economy. If you want to protect yourself and protect our country, then you need to read Secret Weapon to understand how we have entered a new age of warfare—an age our enemies want to make the Dark Ages of the United States.

Editorial Reviews

Review


“Freeman explains persuasively and clearly why we may be beginning the third act of a monetary and fiscal tragedy. You don’t care about dark pools, huge Middle-Eastern sovereign wealth funds, naked short selling, and bear runs? I’m afraid you will, and rather soon.”
—R. James Woolsey, Chairman of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and former Director of Central Intelligence

“Every American needs to understand how our financial markets have been manipulated by people who want to destroy the nation and how they can do even greater damage in the future. This book is a critical read for everyone.”
—William G. Boykin, Lt. Gen. USA (ret), former Commander of U.S. Army Special Forces and founding member of Delta Force

“Kevin Freeman’s alarming proposition on economic warfare merits attention from those at the highest levels entrusted with our nation’s security. It is incumbent on the U.S. intelligence and defense community, financial regulators, and those with advanced financial acumen to assess and address this modern security vulnerability. Warfare continues to evolve. As the United States remains vigilant against emerging threats, we must appreciate newfound challenges to longstanding assumptions about how our enemies could exploit our financial markets with potentially devastating consequences for our nation.”
—Congressman Bill Posey

“Kevin Freeman has done an exceptional job working with open source financial data. This is a superb effort to expose extreme vulnerabilities to our financial system. With today’s international markets in such a fragile and volatile state, Freeman’s work deserves serious reflection. To do so would cost little. To dismiss it outright might cost us everything.”
—Thomas W. O’Connell, former Assistant Secretary of Defense (Special Operations) (2003-2007) and former member of the NASDAQ Public Board of Directors

5.0 out of 5 stars The "war on terror" just hit my wallet!, January 15, 2012
By 
This review is from: Secret Weapon: How Economic Terrorism Brought Down the U.S. Stock Market and Why It can Happen Again (Hardcover)
I always knew there had to be more to the story than what the media and national political parties were telling us about the financial crisis that started in 2008. The media told us the problems came form poor lending practices and relaxed credit standards. When I read Kevin Freeman's book, Secret Weapon, I discovered that there are huge financial forces at work to try to topple our economy.

I first asked how this could be possible, since the media and our own Central Intelligence Agency were not even aware this was a threat possibility and the fact that we are being attacked in a three-phased attack. Kevin explains how Sovereign Wealth funds, those funds controlled by foreign governments mostly in the Middle East, could embark on major market manipulations by using our own market rules to evaporate trillions in wealth almost overnight. Kevin clearly explains what these weapons are and how they are being used against us. Some of the tactics include, naked short selling, high frequency trading, naked sponsored access, and the uptick rule. Each of these complicated financial maneuvers was used to bring down major Wall Street companies and has made our economy weak.

These same attacks are being waged in against the Euro markets and now we have entered phase three and this book explains how we can both protect our financial assets and what can be done to stop future attacks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read for Anyone Interested in Protecting their Wealth, January 12, 2012
By 
This review is from: Secret Weapon: How Economic Terrorism Brought Down the U.S. Stock Market and Why It can Happen Again (Hardcover)
Mr. Freeman's book addresses the questions about the financial insecurity of the U.S. monetary system. The Occupy Wall Street crowd are right to be suspicious of the markets but their focusing on the wrong enemy. Mr. Freeman clearly details how the crash of 2008 was not just coincidental. Those that cost this nation trillions of dollars carefully orchestrated the manipulation of the markets using the loosened rules of naked short selling and credit default swaps. Unfortunately, Mr. Freeman points out, the current administration is doing very little to protect the financial security of this nation and the investors that drive the economic engine. Is it any wonder that billions of dollars are sitting on the sideline? As a 24 year veteran police officer, I was very impressed with the mountain of evidence Mr. Freeman compiled in his research. Don't just read this book, encourage everyone that is concerned about the health of their personal and the nation's economy to study it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truth is Stranger than Fiction, January 14, 2012
This review is from: Secret Weapon: How Economic Terrorism Brought Down the U.S. Stock Market and Why It can Happen Again (Hardcover)
Real life can be more remarkable than invented tales, as in Secret Weapon, where Mr. Freeman reveals the means, motive and opportunity, all linked together, proving that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. The evidence is impressive; intellectually stimulating. I rate it 5 for its timely relevance. Is economic warfare a reality? Should our nation devote attention and economic resources to this topic? This book will enable you to make an educated decision and give you mechanisms by which you can help effect change.
