Barbara Boyd cuts through the warmonger lie: Trump is pursuing peace while crushing Iran's leverage — and the real war is between Trump's American System and the dying London-centered petrodollar order that wants him dead.

Trump's America First revolution is finishing what 1776 started—rooted in Hamilton's American System—while Mark Carney and the Democratic Socialists of America run a fake, City-of-London-backed counterrevolution to tear the country down.
Barbara Boyd argues President Trump is not exaggerating when he calls communism the biggest threat to the nation, framing this July 4th moment as a revolutionary new beginning rooted in the American System. She points to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's “innovation wave,” reshoring, and a resilient economy, then spotlights the June 23 release of Trump's America First Resilience Strategy—a shift from reactive crisis management to making hazards and adversaries unable to hold U.S. interests at risk. She connects this to Alexander Hamilton's manufacturing, credit, and National Bank policies and Vice President Vance's embrace of a Hamiltonian, anti–laissez-faire tradition. Then she exposes Mark Carney as a spokesman for the City of London—linking him to digital currency, net-zero finance, Tony Blair, and an anti-Trump “coalition”—and the Democratic Socialists of America as advancing a minimum-to-maximum program toward public ownership, constitutional change, and revolutionary seizure of state power.
