The Senate's blocking of Trump's agenda is driven by donor networks—centered on Oracle's Larry Ellison and his ties to Tony Blair, whose Institute spent years building the case for an Iran regime-change war.
A sweeping look at tariffs, rare earth minerals, manufacturing, national sovereignty, and the growing clash between globalization and what Mike calls “Fortress America.”
The CFR waved the white flag, Trump took the Fed and invited Iran into the Accords, and Blair, Carney, and Dimon started sounding like Trump. The empire is now imitating the revolution it tried to stop. Seven posts inside.
The Senate's blocking of Trump's agenda is driven by donor networks—centered on Oracle's Larry Ellison and his ties to Tony Blair, whose Institute spent years building the case for an Iran regime-change war.
Barbara Boyd argues the Senate’s repeated blocking of Donald Trump’s agenda is driven less by narrow Republican margins than by powerful donor networks, focusing on Oracle founder Larry Ellison and his ties to Tony Blair. She profiles Ellison’s major political spending (including backing Tim Scott, Lindsey Graham, and the NRSC) and links it to Senate leadership under John Thune, a longtime Mitch McConnell protégé aligned with the postwar globalist order. The episode claims Blair’s Tony Blair Institute—funded heavily by Ellison—spent years building a case for regime change in Iran, working through venues like CFR and UANI, but Trump limited action to strikes on nuclear infrastructure without regime change. Boyd says Blair is now rebranding via a “Radical Center” manifesto while advancing surveillance and digital ID models, and urges overwhelming midterm victories to “shock” or replace Senate obstructionists.

A sweeping look at tariffs, rare earth minerals, manufacturing, national sovereignty, and the growing clash between globalization and what Mike calls “Fortress America.”
Jamie Dimon, Mark Carney, and Tony Blair are suddenly echoing Trump because a major shift in economic and strategic power is underway — and contrasts their rebranding with the Trump administration's revival of the American System.
Mike explores how Trump's Middle East diplomacy, the Abraham Accords, and the rise of sovereign nation-states are reshaping the 21st century order.
Barbara Boyd on Judy Shelton's MSNBC challenge to Fed Keynesianism, Kevin Warsh's "regime change," the 1944 Keynes-vs-White Bretton Woods fight, and how Trump's executive-branch credit channels and Rubio's India trip point to a Core Five alignment that bypasses the City of London.
