In 1974, the CIA launched one of their most audacious covert ops ever.

Code name: Project Azorian.

The mission?

Recover a sunken Soviet nuclear submarine from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

17,000 feet down, at bone crushing depths, in the pitch black the submarine was packed with Cold War secrets. But the CIA couldn’t just send a military vessel without raising suspicions.

So they recruited an unlikely partner: Howard Hughes, the eccentric billionaire.

Using Hughes’ fortune and connections, they built a massive mining ship called the Glomar Explorer armed with a gigantic claw called “Clementine.”

The cover story?

They were mining strange metallic rocks from the ocean floor.

While the CIA managed to partially recover the Soviet sub, something unexpected happened. The cover story turned out to be more valuable than the mission itself because they discovered these strange rocks.

Those fake mining operations the CIA had staged…

They revealed the ocean floor was carpeted with trillions of dollars in resources.

We’re talking about the ingredients necessary for technology like A.I., electric vehicles, smartphones, quantum computing, advanced military weaponry, and renewable energy systems.

According to 60 Minutes and The Wall Street Journal, the total value of this underwater treasure is estimated in the range of $8 to $16 trillion.. almost as valuable as all the gold ever mined.

While you’ve likely never heard this story before.

A breakthrough new development could make it the financial story of the decade.

You see, thanks to recent activity from the Trump administration, this trillion dollar fortune could – for the first time ever – be about to be extracted… and one tiny company holds the key.

In my latest exposé, I name the stock for you.

But that’s not all. You see, there is a much larger story taking place here.

In other words, what’s happening now isn’t just about rocks at the bottom of the Pacific. It’s all part of a three–step plan being orchestrated by the Trump Administration to unlock as much as $100 trillion in resource wealth.

The story is about the systematic dismantling of decades old barriers that have kept America reliant on foreign governments for resources we need to compete.

I personally believe that we’re in the 1st inning of what could be a natural resource boom that’s bigger than anything we’ve experienced over the past century.

What’s unfolding now follows a historical template I’ve studied extensively… one that has created more millionaires, more quickly, than perhaps any other economic phenomenon.

But timing is everything.

And the window is already starting to close.

Trump administration in talks to take 10% stake in Intel, Bloomberg News reports

(Reuters) -The Trump administration is in talks to take a 10% stake in Intel by converting some or all of the struggling company’s Chips Act grants into equity, Bloomberg News reported, citing a White House official and other people familiar with the matter.

Shares of Intel fell about 3% on Monday, after rallying last week on hopes of U.S. federal support. A 10% stake in the American chipmaker would be worth about billion.

Intel has been slated to receive a combined .9 billion in Chips Act grants for commercial and military production, and the figure is roughly enough to pay for the government’s holding, according to the Bloomberg report on Monday.

Intel declined to comment on the report, while the White House did not respond to a request for comment. Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

Media reports said last week that the U.S. government may buy a stake in Intel, after a meeting between CEO Lip-Bu Tan and President Donald Trump that was sparked by Trump’s demand for the new Intel chief’s resignation over his ties to Chinese firms.

Federal backing could give Intel more breathing room to revive its loss-making foundry business, analysts have said, but it still suffers from a weak product roadmap and challenges in attracting customers to its new factories.

“The fact that the U.S. government is stepping in to save a blue-chip American company likely means that Intel’s competitive position was much worse than what anybody feared,” said David Wagner, head of equity and portfolio manager at Intel shareholder Aptus Capital Advisors.

Wagner added that while he was skeptical about the U.S. government investing taxpayer money into U.S. companies, it was better than having Intel become a state-owned entity.

Aptus Capital Advisors holds 80,581 shares of Intel.

Trump, who said the meeting with Tan was “very interesting” one, has taken an unprecedented approach to corporate interventions.

He has pushed for multibillion-dollar government tie-ups in semiconductors and rare earths, such as a pay-for-play deal with Nvidia and an arrangement with rare earth producer MP Materials to secure critical minerals.

The U.S. government has previously taken equity stakes in companies under stress. During the 2007-2009 financial crisis, it took a stake in General Motors — later exiting the stake in 2013.

Intel last year secured nearly billion in subsidies, the largest outlay under the act, to build new factories in Ohio and other states as former CEO Pat Gelsinger bet on them to restore the company’s manufacturing edge.

Tan, however, pared back such ambitions, slowing construction in Ohio. He plans to build factories based on demand for the services, which analysts have said could put him at odds with Trump’s push to shore up American manufacturing.
