If the U.S. defense budget were a country, it would have the 19th-largest GDP in the world!
Angel Publishing's two Jasons, Jason Williams and Jason Simpkins claim anyone can enroll in a secret $127 million government-backed program known as “Pentagon Payouts.”
We reveal what this really is and if you can make as much as $46,600 or more annually.
The Teaser
The United States is the world's largest military spender by a factor of 2x.
But before we get to the bottom of things about “Pentagon Payouts” a word about the two Jason's…
First, Jason Simpkins is the investment director at Angel Publishing, bringing 15 years of experience as an investment journalist in Washington, D.C. focused on national security and defense.
Meanwhile, Jason Williams takes pictures with Shaq, which gives him enough credibility to say whatever he wants in my book.
At its current pace, the U.S. defense budget is on track to exceed $1 TRILLION in the coming years.
So for every dollar people pay in taxes, about $0.20 goes to the military.
Jason (Williams) says we now have an opportunity to reclaim some of these conscribed funds.
An Indestructible Source of Income?
Not only is this program accessible to all tax-paying Americans regardless of age or income level.
But these payouts have been indestructible, not decreasing even once.
Coming in quarter after quarter, in amounts as high as $11,671.
That's 6x more than the average Social Security benefit of $1,782 per month, which according to Jason Williams, will have you living on cat food.
All of this makes “Pentagon Payouts” one of the most secure and profitable income streams available, offering us the chance to collect a consistent payday.
So what exactly are “Pentagon Payouts?”
We're told they're not bonds, T-bills, or annuities, require no investing experience, and cost only $25 to get started.
The two Jasons reveal that it is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that is “deeply integrated with the defense sector.” And it has the potential to make its investors rich, year after year, just like it's already done for the past decade.
The Pitch
All of the intel on this opportunity has been packaged in a special report called “Pentagon Payouts: The Secret to Getting Paid From the $886 Billion U.S. Defense Budget.”
It's ours, but only if we agree to a no-strings-attached trial of Angel Publishing's flagship newsletter, The Wealth Advisory, for $99.
The offer includes a generous 180-day money-back guarantee, a pair of bonus reports centered on dividends, a “brand-new investment opportunity with big moneymaking potential” every month, and an exclusive video that details Angel's top 10 stock picks for the month ahead.
Buildings And Bombs = Profits?
A blunt headline for sure.
But since this teaser is all about indirectly getting paid from the U.S. Defense budget, one-third of which goes to weapons systems, and directly getting paid from real estate, it's the cold, harsh reality.
Another reality is that we’re closer to a world war now than we have been at any point since the end of the Cold War in 1989.
Major conflicts abound, from Eastern Europe with Russia and Ukraine fighting a bitter war to the Middle East, where Israel and Palestine's long-running conflict threatens to turn into a more far-reaching and deadly regional dispute.
But it goes beyond this…
This is a map of every conflict impacting the United States today.
It's not a pretty picture and it makes one outcome crystal clear:
The U.S. Defense budget is going to continue to increase, perhaps significantly, and with 90% of the revenue of the REIT being teased coming from U.S. Military-linked contractors, this means dividends will rise in tandem.
So far, what we know sounds enticing.
A positive macro backdrop and an asset-rich real estate investment that has a long track record of making dividend payments.
The only thing left to do now is find out its name and ticker symbol.
Revealing The “Pentagon Payouts” Play
Quite a few clues are provided on this “little-known company that plays a vital role in maintaining our national security.” Here is what we know about it:
- For nearly 30 years, this little-known company has been the military’s most trusted landlord.
- It is 37x smaller than Lockheed Martin.
- It owns and manages a massive portfolio of 192 properties, including offices, labs, training facilities, and data centers.
- Most of the nation’s top defense contractors, including General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing, depend exclusively on this company for their specialized real estate needs.
Some of this info was very specific, blowing the pick's cover and enabling us to identify it as COPT Defense Properties (NYSE: CDP).
- Formerly known as Corporate Office Properties Trust, it was founded 36 years ago in Minnesota.
- Based on COPT's $3.3 billion market cap, it is 42x smaller than Lockheed Martin's $137 billion market value, which has skyrocketed since the summer.
- As of the end of fiscal year 2023, COPT's core portfolio consisted of 192 properties, most of which are leased to the United States Government and its contractors.
- All three “top defense contractors” mentioned, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing are COPT tenants.
Large Capital Gains And Reliable Payouts?
The two Jason's “Pentagon Payouts” play has many positives and only a single negative.
First, unlike a generic REIT, COPT has several distinct competitive advantages.
Approximately 80% of the REIT's portfolio comprises sensitive compartmented information facilities (SCIF) and anti-terrorism force protection (ATFP) buildings.
As the names suggest, these are properties with high-security improvements, which means they are harder to get a permit to build and more expensive to construct, even if the time-consuming process of permitting is approved.
This keeps potential competitors out of the market, as does COPT's decades of building relationships with its military and defense industry tenants.
Second, COPT is largely insulated from its tenants going bust in a bad economy or rising vacancies during cyclical downturns, as the defense budget is one of the first items getting funded irrespective of how the economy is doing.
These things are reflected in the REIT's financial snapshot:
- Its property portfolio is 97% leased
- A tenant retention rate of 80%
- Expected development funded through 2026, no need to access additional debt or equity capital
- $1.5 billion book value net of all debt (2.2x price/book)
- Median Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) annual growth rate of 3.2% over the past five years
The only real drawback of investing in COPT is its slow, steady growth, instead of fast, above-average growth and an annual yield of only 4%, which could be higher given the REIT's predictable income stream.
Overall, COPT provides predictable income and capital appreciation, which is exactly what you want from a real estate investment.

Thanks for this one, Anders. At Age 70 I’m more of an income investor than a growth chaser which means one major consideration is whether I want to jump into a stock so deeply entwined with the MIC.
