This runs counter to everything you'll hear in the media about the coronavirus...

But what's happening in America right now is being taken advantage of by those who want to profit politically from the panic.

To them, it's a perfect chance to steal more of our constitutional freedoms and set America up for a socialist future.

If that sounds too extreme, just consider:

• The Department of Justice recently asked Congress for the ability to detain Americans—without trial—during "emergencies" like this...

• Others have proposed we "eliminate all political borders"...

• And according to a recent story in Politico, the White House Coronavirus Task Force is considering creating a national surveillance system to track Americans' health information – essentially a healthcare Patriot Act!

Don't forget: In many states, it's now illegal to publicly worship at a church. A blatant disregard for the First Amendment. (And many state constitutions, as well.)

But this is just a foreshadowing of an even greater crisis...

One former Trump advisor is warning that this could spark the next Great Depression.

But I think the results could be even worse...

I explain why – and the #1 first step every American should take to prepare right now – in a short new video I put together.

You can watch it right here.
