Cause and Effect
Disenfranchised
Uncertainty, uncertainty, uncertainty…the one consistency in the new world order
United StatesSince 9/11 our entire world has changed and you don’t feel it, see it or
think about it but nothing is as it was or will be

The key roles of our government
Our nations ability to integrate and unify along religious, political, racial and gender lines while balancing security is going to be challenged as we struggle with rapidly changing demographics…the old paradigms no longer apply
United StatesWe have been protected by big data and geographic isolation for the last 15
years…but the dark web & encryption are going to change everything

Global Economic Risk Decentralization, conflict and the falling price of oil have set the conditions for stagnate
growth, intense competition, increased espionage and mass cyber theft
Strengthening dynamics in 2017 in emerging-market nations, healthier activity in the Eurozone and Japan, as well as the United States. All are now at risk of being undermined by Economic Warfare and Cyber Theft for the
foreseeable future
NEGATIVE GROWTH:
• Libya (-8.3%)
• Russia (-2.3%)
• Venezuela (-6.1%)
• Brazil (-2.1%)
POSITIVE GROWTH:
• Emerging markets
• Europe, Japan, US
GLOBAL GROWTH: 3.2%
CyberEmployees are the number one weakness - cell phones, tablets and lab tops -
securing the enterprise with software is only half the equation
• LOSSES: Billions of dollars in corporate IP and trade secrets will continue to be stolen in 2016 and beyond
• NON-STATE ACTORS: Non-state actors express the desire to conduct malicious cyber attacks, but lack the capability to conduct high-level cyber operations
• TERRORISM: Groups effectively use the internet for theft, communication, propaganda, fundraising and recruitment

What are you doing right now to secure your financials, IP, PII, client data, and future M&A …corporate America is failing massively – stop talking and take action

Economic Warfare serves three strategic objectives: economic, political, and military control
Global TerrorismEvery action has a reaction with negative 2nd and 3rd and 4th order effects that
will affect us for the next 30 years (generational)
• The number of people who have died from terrorist activity has increased nine-fold since 2000
• Terrorism related deaths rose from 18,111 in 2013 to 32,685 in 2014 (largest ever increase)
• Ten of the 11 countries that had more than 500 deaths from terrorism in 2014 had the highest levels of refugees
“Victory”, “defeat”, “destroy”…no such thing when combatting an ideology (not WWII) –containment, disruption, dispersion are success in the new world order
Western TerrorismTransition from regional organizations to the self-radicalized individual on
a global scale via the internet – U.S. & Europe in the cross-hairs
• 70% of all deaths from terrorism in the West since 2006 were by lone wolf terrorists.
• 2015 was most lethal year for terrorist violence in Europe in nearly a decade
• Outside the ten countries with the highest number of deaths from terrorism, deaths increased by 139 per cent from 2013 to 2014.
Social media, cyber and the dark web…the 3 most powerful elements of future terrorism

Russia25 years ago the USSR controlled 15 additional countries…it’s currently struggling to
survive as a petrol-state – follow the money, not the propaganda
Failure - Decline
Putin did not invade the Ukraine, Syria or continue to threaten the West to regain power and influence…its to control his disenfranchised population and failing economy
$450 average monthly wage
-40% decline in GDP (13-2015)
-2% GDP decline projected 16
14.2% poverty rate projected
15% inflation rate (U.S. = 1-2%)
-$36 billion deficit shortfall
62% military operational rate
-30 million people (by 2050)
IndiaSocio-economic imbalances, urban anonymity, disproportionate gender ratio (884 female:
1,000 males), overpopulation, unemployment, poverty, corruption, and inadequate policing
Alarming Increases
By every measure, India is headed toward total social failure and there is no indication of any political will to change…more importantly, the West is looking the other way
32% increase in kidnapping
20% crimes against women
27% rapes against women
11,209 FIR’s Total 2014
9 convictions of 11,209 FIR’s
7,124 rapes in 8 months (2015)
1 conviction of 7,124 to date
40,000 young girls kidnapped
Middle East and North AfricaSectarian violence, civil war, terrorism, oil conflicts, & the fight for the control
of the region
• Lack of religious & cultural understanding = strategic errors
• Sunni, Shia, Kurd – its everything & we have not learned the lesson
• The Middle-East is completely uncertain and no-one can “win”

Direct Translation
Refugee Crisis – Human SufferingThe Iraq and Syria wars have displaced 20 million people, which represents the largest
displacement of people since WWII – friction, friction, friction
• Germany accepted approximately 1,200,000 refugees in 2015 (4x more than 2014)
• United States plans on accepting 85,000 refugees in 2016 (10,000 Syrians) – in doubt now
• 4,000,000+ living in refugee camps in Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan alone
Threats to the WestThe flood of refugees & migrants from the Middle-East and Africa are changing the West
forever
• Over 9,000,000 refugees and migrants have flooded to Europe since 2011
• Germany, Hungry, Sweden, Italy and France have lead Europe but with reluctance and friction
• The European Union will be unrecognizable in a decade
Immigration
Terrorism
Political Divides
Integration
Nationalism
Are you preparing your European business operations – personnel, infrastructure?
Central America & MexicoSupply and demand…who’s the enemy? The U.S. had a substantial role in
creating the current situation and a wall will not fix it
• In the 2000s, 90% of cocaine consumed in the U.S. was imported from Mexico
• Nearly 450,000 people are employed by drug cartels in Mexico - $65 billion industry (MX alone), $435 billion globally
• Mexican government reports 165,000 homicides from 2007-2014 with 55% attributed to drug war
• 2016 is on pace for a 15% higher homicide rate than 2015
Venezuela's Failure Effect
Colombia
El Salvador
Guatemala
Highest risk to the region – recognition of the 7 primary drug cartels as political parties = narco state
No Wall
KidnappingKidnapping has accelerated over the past decade due to growing socioeconomic
divide, internet access and the spread of radical groups
• Mexico and India lead the world for kidnap-and-ransom events
• The number of foreigners kidnapped in Mexico was 9 times higher in 2015 than 2014
• The U.S. Department of State estimated that at least 200 U.S. citizens were kidnapped in Mexico alone in 2015
Colombia

Brazil
The top Kidnap & Ransom countries in the world are heavily invested by U.S. outsourcing
“Crystal Ball”
What does it all mean over the next decade…so what?
U.S. contraction - deficit
Mexico - Narco state
Venezuela - failed state
Africa, MX - manufacturing growth
E.U. breaks apart / Germany shrinks
Turkey allies w/ the U.S.
Russia collapses – Poland rises
Iran nuclear deal holds – ME cold war
China stagnates – Japan rises
Secure your personnel, infrastructure, communications and understand that global challenges will not be solved by the “old playbook”…you have to acknowledge, accept and adjust to the new world order
India’s class system fractures
