The Senate's blocking of Trump's agenda is driven by donor networks—centered on Oracle's Larry Ellison and his ties to Tony Blair, whose Institute spent years building the case for an Iran regime-change war.
A sweeping look at tariffs, rare earth minerals, manufacturing, national sovereignty, and the growing clash between globalization and what Mike calls “Fortress America.”
The CFR waved the white flag, Trump took the Fed and invited Iran into the Accords, and Blair, Carney, and Dimon started sounding like Trump. The empire is now imitating the revolution it tried to stop. Seven posts inside.
A sweeping look at tariffs, rare earth minerals, manufacturing, national sovereignty, and the growing clash between globalization and what Mike calls “Fortress America.”
NAFTA was an economic nuclear bomb.
But decades before NAFTA, central bankers and global financial interests were already laying the groundwork for the dismantling of America's industrial economy.
In this episode, Mike traces the origins of globalization from Paul Volcker's 1978 call for the "controlled disintegration" of the world economy through the passage of NAFTA and into President Trump's effort to rebuild American manufacturing, secure critical supply chains, and reshape the Western Hemisphere around national sovereignty.
From rare earth minerals and industrial policy to trade wars, labor coalitions, and the future of North American economic integration, this episode examines the growing conflict between globalism and what Mike calls Fortress America.
