The media is hung up on Russian election meddling… But the real war with the Kremlin is over 5G… In the mailbag: “This baby’s going to crash and burn”…
That’s been President Trump’s rally cry since the Mueller report was released last month.
It failed to find conclusive evidence that the president conspired with the Russians to swing the 2016 election.
But the Mueller investigation has consumed the media ever since it got started two years ago.
And it’s buried a more important story… at least for investors.
You see, the real battle with Russia isn’t over election meddling. It’s over control of a vital piece of new technology…
It’s a technology we’ve been telling you will change the world – 5G wireless networks.
And as we’ll show you today, the battle for supremacy over 5G involves a Russian disinformation campaign to discredit… and even put a stop to… America’s 5G buildout.

The first 5G networks have already rolled out in 30 markets in the U.S. And 5G will be in more than 100 U.S. markets by the end of the year.
And as we showed you in yesterday’s dispatch, 5G isn’t some run-of-the-mill upgrade to our wireless communications network.
It brings download speeds 100 times faster than the current 4G network.
Meanwhile, the latency – or delay – across 5G networks will drop from an average of about 0.1 to 0.001 seconds. That means communication across 5G networks will be instantaneous.
This will enable the rollout of technologies on a mass scale that were once the sole domain of sci-fi movies.
That’s how our tech expert at Legacy Research, Jeff Brown, describes what’s going on with the 5G story. Here’s more from Jeff…
Imagine watching the latest blockbuster movies in ultra-high-definition on your smartphone. With no delays. No hiccups. In fact, you can download a whole movie to your phone in a matter of split seconds.
The never-before-seen speed of 5G will also allow self-driving cars to become a reality. Connected roads, connected homes, and state-of-the-art health monitors will be the norm.
There are groundbreaking medical applications, too. Jeff again…
The smooth, uninterrupted signal will allow a brain specialist in Los Angeles to perform surgery on a patient… in a remote village in the Sahara Desert.
But 5G won’t just have benefits the private sector is interested in…

We’re talking everything from electric power grids to water supplies to sewage plants.
And at a time when militaries, weapons systems, and spying are increasingly controlled digitally across networks, whoever wins the 5G race would also gain a decisive military edge.
As Jeff explained it…
Deploying 5G wireless networks is such a competitive advantage that it’s become a race between countries to be the first to build out 5G. Governments around the world recognize that the sooner they build out these networks, the sooner they become more competitive as a nation.
And of course, the absence of these networks would be a severe competitive disadvantage at a national level. So it’s in the best interest of countries to build out these networks nationwide as quickly as they can.
In February, Russia launched its own 5G program. But it doesn’t have as strong a 5G play as the U.S.
So, instead of competing directly, it’s trying to sabotage the buildout of America’s 5G networks through a disinformation campaign.
This is mostly happening through RT America – a subsidiary of Russia Today (RT) – which airs on DirecTV in the U.S.
RT is the Kremlin’s main overseas propaganda delivery machine. And it’s linked 5G signals to brain cancer, infertility, autism, heart tumors, and Alzheimer’s disease.
For example, in January, RT America aired a segment called “A Dangerous ‘Experiment on Humanity.’”
It claimed that the radiation from 5G towers causes DNA damage, “neuropsychiatric effects” and other health problems.
Take this feedback from reader William P., who wrote into our mailbag recently…
According to everything I read about 5G, it’s totally toxic and causes miscarriages, nosebleeds, and rocketing blood pressure in all the areas where it’s being tried…
Or this from an anonymous reader…
Oh God!!!! We don’t need 5G!!!!! The amount of radiation from towers, systems that will run 5G, and the devices running on 5G will be devastating!!! Why? Why? Why?
It’s easy to see why if you watch the TV segment Russia aired to American audiences.
But the Russians aren’t really worried. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be planning on building out their own 5G networks.
And you shouldn’t be, either.
As Jeff put it in this response to 5G health scare rumors…
Mobile phones emit radiofrequency radiation, or radio waves, which are a form of non-ionizing radiation. This kind of radiation is normal and all around us. Non-ionizing radiation only has enough energy to excite a molecule, and the byproduct is merely heat.
Ionizing radiation, by contrast, is higher-frequency and can be a severe health hazard. It can cause radiation sickness, burns, cancer, and even genetic damage. Ionizing radiation is the kind of radiation we find in using nuclear power.
So it’s important to distinguish that 5G wireless technology is a form of non-ionizing radiation.
In other words, the kind of radiation 5G uses is harmless to humans.
As Jeff has been pounding the table on, it’s the key to unlocking a whole suite of new technologies.
That includes self-driving cars… augmented reality (AR)… even holographic communication. (We wrote about all three in yesterday’s Cut.)
All told, he says 5G will unleash $12 trillion in wealth over the coming years.
It’s why it’s Jeff’s No. 1 tech investment for 2019. And it’s why he expects the 5G trend to send dozens – possibly even hundreds – of tech stocks soaring triple digits.

Let’s switch gears to another big trend we’ve been tracking for you at the Cut – the rise of the crypto economy.
If you’ve been paying attention to cryptos the last couple of weeks, you know they’ve been on a tear.
That’s after cryptos went through a withering bear market last year. Some popular coins plunged more than 90% from their highs.
But world-renowned crypto expert Teeka Tiwari (Palm Beach Confidential) was steadfast in his guidance to readers to stay the course. And it hasn’t gone unnoticed…
Teeka, just wanted to share a note of thanks for all of your work on our behalf. You’ve stayed with us through Crypto Winter – and you didn’t run or hide. I respect and admire your character and core values. I’m grateful. Many thanks.
– Clayton F.
Teeka, you’re the best! I’m so glad you’re a part of my family’s life. Thank you for sharing your insights and wisdom. All the best to you!
– Brett T.
I love PBRG writings. And I’m thankful to be connected with Teeka and the gang. You guys are helping me climb out of my financial disaster last year. Also, the crypto stuff has been growing well. Many, many thanks for that.
– John L.
Meanwhile, a coming bear market in stocks has started to weigh on at least one reader’s mind…
Personally, I would be very cautious of going long on anything right now. My remaining stock speculations are very well thought out and 85% composed of commodity and mining stocks. I am prepared to hold them through the crash, due to the inverse relationship of commodities to equities.
I am with Jeff Clark [Delta Report] on this one – this baby’s going to crash and burn. I’m already setting up puts going into December and September. Hope we get a little pop up to trap the bulls and get me better prices. I also went long on VIX with a call.
Even if there was more life left in this tired bull (and it’s standing on a house of cards) we have black swans circling like sharks on all fronts.
If Jason Bodner [Palm Beach Trader] is right and we see another six-plus months of sustained upwards stock prices, I will cook one of my socks and eat a bite 🙂
– Brendan V.
Master trader Jeff Clark is holding a special event about this…
He believes the 10-year bull market on Wall Street is on its last legs. And at 8 p.m. ET tomorrow, he’ll reveal the exact date he believes stocks could plummet.
