A blockade in the Gulf. A declassified 2020 coverup in Washington. One week, two fronts, one enemy. We connect them all — plus Hamilton's real American System and the science of happiness in the Declaration. The Empire is losing on every front.

The Midweek Update - Did TRUMP Just Get Ambushed With Epstein Allegations On Purpose? - September 10, 2025
Trump’s enemies tried two ambushes this week: reheated Epstein headlines and a Qatar strike meant to derail peace. Instead, Trump flanked both—tightening ties with Doha, while Bessent hits the Fed and Chris Wright shreds green austerity.
In this episode, Susan Kokinda examines the week's most controversial headlines, revealing deeper truths behind the Epstein files, Israel's recent bombing of Qatar, and their implications for Trump’s policies. She also analyzes Treasury Secretary Bessent’s critical stance on the Federal Reserve and Energy Secretary Chris Wright's opposition to green energy policies. Kokinda argues that these moves collectively dismantle British ideological and institutional control over American policy.

Is Trump stuck in Iran? Or is a much larger geopolitical transformation unfolding across the Middle East? Discover the bigger picture behind today's headlines.
Barbara Boyd contrasts the imperial Iraq regime-change war with Trump's MacArthur-style Iran strategy — deny the nuclear threat, spare the economy, win the peace — and shows why Ukraine is globalism's last war, as Under Secretary Colby slaps down Mark Carney's "middle powers" fantasy.
After the FBI asked the press not to publish, The New York Times leaked classified details of Air Force One's defenses — and the DOJ subpoenaed all four reporters. The deeper story: Trump is reviving the Hamiltonian American System, and that has the British Empire in a panic.
