Over the past two years, Dowd has courageously come forward to awaken people to the collateral damage of the COVID pandemic.

For example, in early March 2022, Dowd shared mortality statistics on Steve Bannon's War Room,2 showing Millennials aged 25 to 44 had an 84% increase in excess mortality during the fall of 2021.

An Education in Booms and Busts

Dowd became interested in finance right out college. He got a job with HSBC Holdings, the largest bank in Europe, as an institutional, fixed income salesperson, selling bonds.

"That was a five-year education in what really happens in the capital markets," he says, "and everything you learn in the textbooks is garbage … I learned about Wall Street, how it worked and how it was incentivized.

Back when I was a bond salesman from 1990 to '95, there were a bunch of scandals. Wall Street is basically a boom and bust operation. There's usually a boom created by the Federal Reserve that puts money into the system. They don't control where their money goes and Wall Street takes advantage of that. And usually it ends in fraud.
