From ground zero in Michigan: the socialist who vows to bring down the system was manufactured by it — Rhodes Scholar credentials, foundation money and all — while Bessent and the Trump team dismantle the machine that gutted Detroit.
The yen strike, the American System midterm playbook, and the London money behind Michigan's 'new Obama' — seven posts on one war, fought in credit, not bombs. Break the Empire's money power and everything else follows.
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.
We’re excited to share the latest episode of Promethean Overviews. In this installment, Mike Steger examines the rise of a modern confederacy—a system built through globalization that hollowed out American cities, dismantled manufacturing, and replaced production with dependency and control.
Promethean Action Overviews is dedicated to exposing the economic and historical forces shaping the future of the American System. You can subscribe to the new Promethean Action Overviews channel on YouTube.
In this episode, Mike Steger lays out the case that the United States is living under a modern confederacy — a system created by globalization that dismantled American manufacturing, hollowed out cities, and replaced productive work with dependency, disorder, and control. Today’s political unrest is not accidental. It is the predictable outcome of decades of economic policy designed to benefit financial elites while stripping the working class of real opportunity.
Placing modern urban decay within a long historical arc, Steger traces this system from ancient empires through the British financial order and the American Civil War. He contrasts globalization’s plantation-style economy with the American System of Hamilton, Washington, and Lincoln, and argues that President Trump’s manufacturing and trade policies represent a direct challenge to the global order that engineered America’s decline.
Watch the full episode to understand how this modern confederacy was built, who it serves, and why rebuilding American industry is the only path to restoring national sovereignty, shared wealth, and a unified nation.

Barbara follows the money behind Mamdani and El-Sayed — AppLovin alumni, CCP-tied shareholders, and Muslim Brotherhood links — and why Marx went to war with the American System Trump is now rebuilding.
Mike Steger examines Abdul El-Sayed’s political network, campaign funding, and connections—and what his rise reveals about the fight over America’s future.
Barbara Boyd links the Middle East war and Bessent's weekend yen intervention as parts of one fight: breaking the post-1971 financial order run from Wall Street and the City of London, and building the production-based economy — and New Bretton Woods — Trump's revolution requires.
