The Keating Center at Oklahoma Wesleyan University is proud to be home to the newly formed…
The NSIC Institute will work to bring together national security and investment professionals in order to protect the American economy, improve investor results, and enhance national security.
ABOUT
Working together, the national security and investment communities need to be better prepared to address emerging threats to our economy and investment portfolios. Events since 9/11/01 have demonstrated, without question, that our nation’s economy and security are directly linked. Yet, few in the investment community have the expertise, knowledge, or training to address the emerging global risks.
Our enemies perceive our military as too strong to threaten, so they have developed methodologies to target our economy with direct and threading implications for investors. Anyone charged with protecting and growing client assets is responsible to learn how to protect against these serious and growing risks.
Investors are aware that something is deeply wrong with the global economic system. It’s time for the investment community to step up to the challenge. The old strategies are no longer working.
National security pros are aware that of the absolute correlation between American economic strength and our ability to defend our nation. It’s time for these professional to recognize that our enemies’ threat doctrine is targeted against our economy and what we can do to respond.
The NSIC Institute is not just offering a simple seminar. We will bring together the best and brightest from both communities in cross-disciplinary training to foster ongoing research and dialogue. Our nation’s future demands it.
PURPOSE
We will provide training and credentialing for investment professionals regarding the risks of financial terrorism and economic warfare, as well as, uncovering potential opportunities to invest in America’s future. These credentialed advisors should then be better prepared to protect and grow client investments with enhanced knowledge and specialized research.
We will provide training for national security professionals regarding the reality that our economy and security are linked. Enemies of the United States have targeted our financial markets and economic infrastructure and a new generation of leaders will be required to protect them.

Praise for
“As Kevin Freeman points out, America is facing a global economic war which has direct threats for your family, your job, and your life savings.

Game Plan: How to Protect Yourself from the Coming Cyber-Economic Attack Hardcover
by Kevin D. Freeman (Author) Kevin Freeman previous Guest Speaker at The Villages Tea Party on Dec 17, 2012 and author of "Secret Weapon" Kevin will be on Glenn Beck’s show on January 7th and Lou Dobbs January 8th. Are You Certain Your Money is Safe? Kevin Freeman, a global financial analyst commissioned by the Pentagon, is one of the world's leading experts on the issues of Economic Warfare and Financial Terrorism. In his latest book Game Plan, he outlines the potential threats against our economy and how Americans can be prepared to protect their savings and investments. With America's rising debt, multiple cyber economic attacks and weakening of the dollar, the potential economic threats are documented and real. What Americans see as the marketplace, our enemies now view as the battle space. Contrary to many financial newsletter and advertising claims, there is not a silver bullet to these threats and investors need to be prepared to strategically adjust. This is the first "how to" investment book of its type and provides the game plan to succeed. In Game Plan you will learn:

Who’s Really To Blame For America’s Catastrophic Financial Meltdown And Devastating National Recession? Contrary to what the “Occupy Movement” might tell you, it’s not just greedy Wall Street executives (though they certainly earned their share of scorn). It’s not just failed regulation (even though Washington has failed miserably, both Republicans and Democrats, to protect us). As one of America’s top financial professionals reveals in this shocking new book, the failures of Wall Street and Washington have opened us up to economic warfare, with our foreign enemies exploiting our lurking financial weaknesses. In Secret Weapon, Kevin D. Freeman unveils how all the evidence – including motive, means, and opportunity – points to America’s foreign enemies as deliberately pushing our economy over the brink. He doesn’t deny the culpability of Washington and Wall Street but rather demonstrates how their bad actions have created a new vulnerability that could ultimately destroy the American way of life. In this stunning expose, Freeman reveals:
