In this conversation, Francis Hunt (https://themarketsniper.com/) lays out his claims about political pressure campaigns, media influence, capital flows, and what he calls currency debasement—and why he believes building optionality (jurisdictions, mobility, and hard-asset exposure like gold) matters in turbulent times. We discuss free speech boundaries, alleged lobbying power, and how narratives shape policy and markets. The episode closes with practical steps he says individuals can take to protect purchasing power and flexibility.
