This Is Not a Political Midterm. This Is a War.

The empire is out in the open this week: a Canadian psywar on the midterms, a war with Russia that can’t be won, and a C-17 into Moscow that Trump will not explain.

We've got a very dangerous beast actually cornered.
— Barbara Boyd

We are in a war. The primary battlefield is economic warfare.
— Susan Kokinda

Two hours of broadcast. Jump straight to a chapter below — then take the assignment.

REPLAY — Thursday, August 27th

A C-17 Doesn’t Call Ahead

Ratcliffe didn’t phone Moscow. Europe and the UK are trying to win a war they cannot win — and that flight was a SCIF message, not a call every intelligence service on earth gets to listen in on. Part of it may be a back channel to Iran.

Carney’s Walkout Was the Midterm Play

The Canada deal died at one minute to midnight — and Freeland was thrilled. The trade war is aimed at specific states so voters blame the tariffs. Ignore the August polls; they’re psychological warfare. Assume a terrible battlefield and win anyway.

Promethean will be at the Dallas midterm convention.

The Real Revolution, and the Price of Hamburger

“Too late” is the 2024 script rerun. Young people want a revolution — give them the American one, not the French or Russian versions that ended in a dictator. Detroit already voted that way.

Three months of imported beef is midterm affordability warfare, not a farm policy. You don’t cut your way out of $40 trillion — you grow out of it. Hamilton. McKinley. That’s the 80-day fight to the midterms.

Bring 10 to 15 People to Vote. That’s Still the Task.

Do not think about the midterm elections as a political fight. This is a war. It's a war between two systems. And everybody should conduct themselves accordingly.
