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.
Ceuta exposes globalization’s deepest failure: nations stripped of sovereignty, industry and moral purpose. Rebuilding the West requires more than borders—it requires restoring the human soul.
Susan Kokinda lays out a midterm strategy that defies the "party in power loses" rule: Trump's revival of the McKinley–Hamilton American System — tariffs, industrial credit, and skilled trades — is rebuilding the working class, and that realignment can drive a 2026 upset.
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.
Barbara Boyd argues the media misrepresents both vaccine debates and President Trump’s actions, then links the Middle East war and Scott Bessent’s weekend intervention to support Japan’s yen as parts of a broader effort to break the post-1971 global financial order centered on Wall Street and the City of London. She traces the shift after Bretton Woods, Rockefeller-era environmentalism, commodity speculation, and Biden-era “green” credit policies, saying Trump is rebuilding a production-based economy that requires regaining sovereignty over finance. Boyd says Gulf oil money flows and the Strait of Hormuz are a key weak point, and frames the Abraham Accords as “peace through development,” with Iran and proxies as obstacles. She claims Bessent’s move hit the UK/EU via euro sales, aims to defuse the yen carry trade risk, and helps set up a “New Bretton Woods.” She also highlights Trump’s July 21 “Science, a New Golden Age” workforce upskilling agenda.
