G20 meets today in Asheville, Barbara frames the showdown: Bessent pushing physical growth to conquer the debt mountain, while Lagarde and von der Leyen plot to "redirect" citizens' savings — "lazy money" — into the Ukraine war and the green transition.
Scott Bessent is following the money behind America’s dark money nonprofit network and confronting a political machine more than a century in the making.
Carney walks out and calls it a war — he's right, wrong reasons. Ratcliffe's C-17 lands in Moscow. Warsh smashes the Fed's crystal ball. Nine weeks to November 3. Seven posts inside.
The Supreme Court Didn't Kill Tariffs. Here's What's Actually Happening: A 17% trade deficit decline, billions in new factory investment, and a nuclear renaissance — Brian Lantz has the real scorecard.
Every week, Promethean Action holds a Saturday Class—a deep dive into the ideas, history, and strategic thinking that the mainstream won't touch.

President Trump had a different read.
At his February 20th press conference, he put it plainly: before the ruling, there was uncertainty. Now, there's certainty. And he's right.
In this week's Saturday class, Brian Lantz cuts through the noise to show what's actually happening in the physical economy — not the stock ticker, not the bond market, but the factories being built, the workers being hired, and the supply chains being rewired on American soil.
And the results are already showing: a 17% decline in the trade deficit between April and December 2025, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Japanese and South Korean firms are investing billions in American manufacturing — from a synthetic diamond grit facility in Georgia to a $6 billion zinc smelter in Tennessee backed by DoD capital.
Vulcan Elements is constructing a $1.4 billion rare-earth magnet supply chain, end to end, right here.
And the nuclear renaissance is accelerating: Valor Atomics plans to have a microreactor operational by July 4, 2026, the DOE is requesting states to host nuclear innovation campuses, and an 11-gigawatt nuclear campus is underway near Amarillo.
Brian also highlights the young leaders driving this transformation — Vance, Rubio, Greer — and draws a parallel to the generation Hamilton assembled to build the first American System.
Greer grew up in a mobile home. Rubio's dad was a bartender. They're fighting for a producer economy because they come from the world that needs one.
This is the kind of briefing you need heading into the 2026 midterms. For deeper, regularly updated coverage of the physical economy, subscribe to Brian's free Substack.

After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way?
Cable news is arguing eggs, beef, gas, and Iran. Bruce Director spent Saturday night on the real midterm question: American System vs. British System — two flavors of the same entropy, and nine weeks to pick a future.
Chatbots dominate the AI argument. Brian Lantz spent Saturday night on the other kind — robots, machine shops, and factory floors — and why manufacturing, not the data center, is where the country actually gets richer.
Nixon called it “temporary.” 55 years later it’s still policy. Will Wertz reads the paper trail — the secret Kissinger memo, the Volcker Group, Britain’s run on Fort Knox — and the principles of the new Bretton Woods Trump’s Treasury says is underway.
In 1775, Americans and Quebec militiamen fought as brothers to free Canada from the British crown. Bob Ingraham on the lie of the "invasion," Franklin's near-miss at the peace table — and why, 250 years later, the question is open again.
