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.
The Monday Brief - CONFIRMED: RFK Jr. Says Trump Is Finishing What JFK Started - March 30, 2026
RFK Jr. says his father and uncle would back Trump on Iran and the economy. As sovereign nations bypass NATO to broker peace and Navarro and Bessent name the American System by name, the post-WWII imperial order is writing its own obituary.
Susan Kokinda argues that RFK Jr.’s CPAC remarks—praising Trump’s use of power and saying JFK and RFK would back Trump on Iran, Ukraine, and rebuilding the middle class—cut through media narratives and signal a break from post–WWII imperial management. She says Britain and allied institutions are being sidelined, citing Chatham House’s warnings about UK limits and a “Not So Special Relationship” under Trump 2.0, while Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt convene in Islamabad to open U.S.-Iran dialogue without the UK, EU, or NATO. Trump names Vice President JD Vance lead negotiator, presented as an anti–forever war interlocutor who has challenged Netanyahu’s regime-change expectations. Kokinda links this foreign-policy shift to a broader “American System” agenda: Peter Navarro’s protectionist trade revolution and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s rejection of Bank of England–style Fed models, framing it as American System versus British System.

JD Vance's Nixon Library remarks expose the real fight: America's tradition of ending wars versus Kissinger's British "balance of power." From the new Lebanon–Israel framework to White Sands laser tests, Susan Kokinda shows how Trump is dismantling the Kissinger doctrine that took Nixon down.
Barbara traces the DSA candidates backed by Mayor Mamdani — and the Council on Foreign Relations' "post-Trump" project — to one dead communist, Antonio Gramsci, and the British imperial networks that have always used communism against their rivals.
