Bessent forecasts the Strait of Hormuz will be “irrelevant” within two years — and at Chatham House, Lebanon’s adviser named Kissinger as the author of 50 years of war. Susan connects the sanctions, the pipelines, and the Board of Peace replacing the old imperial game.
Barbara Boyd traces Mamdani, El-Sayed, and Obama to a single London–Soros network stoking religious conflict over Gaza, Iran, and Islam to take down Trump and the midterms — and shows how Trump is answering with the Board of Peace and a nuclear-powered productive economy.
From ground zero in Michigan: the socialist who vows to bring down the system was manufactured by it — Rhodes Scholar credentials, foundation money and all — while Bessent and the Trump team dismantle the machine that gutted Detroit.
Barbara follows the money behind Mamdani and El-Sayed — AppLovin alumni, CCP-tied shareholders, and Muslim Brotherhood links — and why Marx went to war with the American System Trump is now rebuilding.
