The Coming Four Power Agreement: The End of the British Empire's "Free Market"

The Anglo-Dutch Empire is built around the twin ideas of either buying up assets of targeted entities for five cents on the dollar, or price gouging in cornered markets. Only agreement among the Four Powers can finally defeat the Empire and establish peace and prosperity via a New Bretton Woods.

We're making phenomenal progress, but lasting success depends upon rising above the fog, and grasping and transmitting to others the real global strategic situation. Nothing is as it first appears to be. Yes, there are frictions between the United States, China, Russia, and India; but the frictions among them pale to insignificance as compared to the deadly conflict between each of them and the "Rules-Based Anglo-Dutch Imperial System." Hang on, this will be worth your time!


As President Trump has said, non-tariff barriers to American exports are even bigger barriers than tariffs. Some of those barriers are regulations and subsidies. But the barrier that is at the heart of the modern Anglo-Dutch Imperial System is currency manipulation.

Over time, relative values change. An idea once treated with disdain can become a world-changing enterprise of enormous value. A once-prized building, machine, or vehicle can become obsolete or a wreck—more costly to maintain than to replace. Such changes are easily understood and handled by societies, economies, companies, and individuals.

Marine Major General Smedley Butler wrote the book, War Is a Racket. But war is only a subsidiary part of the Empire's main racket.

Having gone fundamentally beyond the ancient empires that were based on war and direct looting, the Anglo-Dutch Imperial System uses sudden changes—a sudden onset or end of war, a death, a coup, a flood, a drought, a rumor, a bankruptcy, etc.—to deliberately and radically change prices of goods, properties, and especially money. In particular, the Empire is built around the twin ideas of either buying up assets of targeted entities for five cents on the dollar, or price gouging in cornered markets. Needless to say, the Empire does not simply forecast, anticipate, or take advantage of sudden changes, but willfully intervenes to cause sudden changes to take place. Over time, such operations put more and more of the world's assets into the hands of the Empire's slime mold-like constituent parts.

Ending the "Free Market" Currency Manipulation Scam

Among the most powerful of Imperial operations today is the manipulation of currency values (the relative value of one currency as compared to another currency). Crown banker and British subject, George Soros, famously targeted and forced devaluations of numerous currencies. Often, the International Monetary Fund has forced devaluation of a nation's currency as a condition for issuing a loan to the nation. Such devaluations have allowed for easy foreign (Imperial) acquisition of a nation's assets. Additionally, some nations, notably Japan and China, have sometimes deliberately devalued their own currencies in order to cheapen the values of their exports and increase sales within the United States.

All of that is in contrast to the American System of Economics which aims to protect and foster the development of the nation's productive powers and "promote the General Welfare." In 1945, Franklin Roosevelt, with assistance from the Latin American nations he had recruited to his vision, attempted to spread the American System approach more universally by setting up a stable international monetary system, the Bretton Woods System, to foster global development based on equitable arrangements. The idea was to promote the Universal General Welfare. To make this work, each signatory nation pledged to maintain the value of their own currency relative to gold—or the dollar—which was considered to be as good as gold.

Upon Roosevelt's death, the Empire moved in to subvert and slowly dismantle the Bretton Woods System, and, by 1971, the Empire was back in the driver's seat with floating exchange rates, predatory pricing, divide-and-conquer tactics, extortion—all the old oligarchical tricks. By the time of the Biden administration, the Empire was in nearly complete control of the United States government. The "Deep State" is the Empire.

American System protection of productive farms and enterprises has a long and successful history dating back to Alexander Hamilton.

So what's wrong with letting the "free market" determine the value of your currency? It's often estimated that speculation accounts for 85% or 90% of the daily turnover of $7.5 trillion in foreign exchange markets. That 85% or 90% is the Empire at work destroying one nation or company after another, and amassing more and more power to itself.

Making the Empire's Invisible Hand Visible

In order to buy the foreign capital goods (machinery and equipment) necessary to rebuild or build up, a buyer would need loans in the currency of the exporting nation. Both the buyer and the seller would need to know that the payments coming in at the end of a 25- or 30-year loan would be roughly equivalent to the intended payments expressed in the exporter's currency.

An example of the troubles that ensue from currency manipulation: suppose a company (we'll call it X Widgets in country X) decides it needs to buy an American machine at $2,200,000. The purchaser has to borrow $2,000,000 of the purchase price, and agrees to pay $16,500 per month for 30 years. For simplicity, let's say that the value of country X's currency (we'll call it the Xmark) is equal to the American dollar. So, X Widgets would be paying 16,500 Xmarks per month for 30 years. But what happens if the value of the Xmark is devalued to be worth half as much relative to the dollar as it was at the time that the loan was taken out? Then, X Widgets will discover that they will have to pay 33,000 Xmarks per month.
On the opposite side of the situation, suppose that the same X Widgets sells widgets to the United States. Widgets sell for 1,000 Xmarks each. In the old days, each widget would bring in $1,000 dollars, but after devaluation, each widget would only bring in $500. On the other hand, the fact that a widget could now be bought in the United States for $500 instead of $1,000 would mean that X Widgets could undercut and wipe out the business of local American companies producing widgets.

The big winner in such a scenario is neither the exporter nor the importer but the predatory system of speculation which is the foundation of the Anglo-Dutch Imperial "Rules-Based International System." As in any casino, no matter which way relative pricing heads, the Empire makes money and expands its power. What the Empire cannot survive is a system of long-term stable prices and relationships which benefit both producers and purchasers.

Is Trump Considering a New Bretton Woods? - Promethean Saturday Class - April 26, 2025
In this week’s episode of Promethean Saturday Class, Tony Papert hosts a discussion with Will Wertz on the potential for the Trump administration to introduce a new Bretton Woods World Monetary System. The conversation delves into historical context, key figures involved, and significant proposals made during Trump’s first term. Wertz

In this video, Will Wertz passionately reviews Lyndon LaRouche's vision for a New Bretton Woods.

Chance of a Lifetime

Right now, as President Trump has forced countries to come forward to negotiate new trade agreements, we have the chance of a lifetime to not only reorder trade agreements, but to actually establish a near-universal, gold-reserve, fixed exchange rate monetary system—a New Bretton Woods. It would take the lessons learned from the original post-World War II arrangements, ensure that the system could not be gamed, and bankrupt the Imperial speculative system. At minimum, it would require the agreement of the United States, Russia, China, and India. Beyond those critical four, every other nation would also be welcome to join. That would drive a stake into the heart of the Satanic Anglo-Dutch Empire, and foster conditions that would facilitate the growth of production, progress, and prosperity throughout the world.

As physical economist Lyndon LaRouche asserted time and again, the most powerful institution in the world is the Anglo-Dutch Imperial System. It is more powerful than the United States alone, or Russia alone, or China alone. Shutting down the Empire requires that the Four Powers come together to finally shut it down once and for all. Only their concerted action will be sufficient to finally rid the world of the predatory Empire, with all of its destructive effects.

Treasury Secretary Bessent, President Trump, and Commerce Secretary Lutnik
President Trump, with Treasury Secretary Bessent and Commerce Secretary Lutnick, can lead the world out of the horrors of the "Rules Based International System" into generalized peace and prosperity for all through a New Bretton Woods.

Before assuming office, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pointed in this direction: ". . . we're in the midst of a great realignment and of a Bretton Woods realignment coming in terms of global policy, global trade." We must raise public awareness and support behind this effort as it comes to the fore among President Trump's international initiatives.

Remember that the Empire:

  1. has never been as exposed and discredited as it is now;
  2. can only defame, suppress, and destroy;
  3. cannot create anything new;
  4. has just been defeated in the last election and in the first 100 days of the new Trump administration.

It's now or never.
