| Dear Reader, You have helped us understand what is important to you and the ones you care about. By sending us your top three geopolitical concerns, you let us address what matters to you in our work these past few weeks. Our project culminated in a brief special report, which we sent to you on Monday. In case you missed it, here’s a link where you can download it. But really, we’re just getting started. This is the most exciting time of year for us as geopolitical analysts. Our annual forecast is nearly complete – in fact, it is with our design team and will be ready for subscribers next week. Our forecast addresses many of your other concerns, which we did not have time to answer with our video series. Concerns like… What will happen in North Korea? Is there a new Cold War brewing between the U.S. and Russia? What about Africa, Australia, South America – what’s going on in the Southern Hemisphere? This year’s forecast might surprise you. We’ve made some out-of-consensus calls. Then again, we always do. And when those predictions come true, casual readers ask us, “How did you know?” The secret comes from our model. It is a way to see, analyze and understand the world. This model underpins all of our analysis. Quite simply: it works. George Friedman has spent decades refining his geopolitical model to produce forecasts with eerie accuracy and detail. We collect and analyze intelligence from trusted sources to constantly test and hone the model, so we can give you the tools you need to survive and thrive in a changing world. In today’s media crazed environment it is easy to become distracted from what is relevant. We filter the noise to discern the true signal for you. Our articles give you a better understanding of what really matters in this world, and how events could come to affect you. All in a way that makes sense and respects your time. Before we close – we want to know: Did you find the videos and special report helpful? Simply reply to this email and let us know. Sincerely, Geopolitical Futures |
