The Iran war is ending on Trump's schedule, backed by a pre-planned economic and energy strategy that is breaking the transatlantic energy-control system while exposing states and nations that rejected Drill, Baby, Drill.
We argue Iran signals a historic shift from NATO/EU order toward U.S., China, Russia, India cooperation, linking Trump's strategy to Western Christian civilization's revival and Artemis II's lunar mission.
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.
Is Trump's "Core 5" the End of the Anglo-Dutch Imperial System?
This week's class tackles the most important geopolitical story you're not hearing about.
It didn't come from a press conference or a cable news panel.
It came from a leaked draft of the U.S. National Security Strategy—and if it becomes reality, it could mark the end of the Anglo-Dutch imperial system that has dominated the world for centuries.
On December 9, 2025, Defense One reported that an early draft of the NSS included a stunning proposal: the creation of a "Core 5" group consisting of the United States, Russia, China, India, and Japan.
Not an expansion of the G7. A replacement for it.
First on the agenda? Middle East security and the normalization of Israel-Saudi relations.
Although it didn't make the final NSS document, the idea didn't die.
It resurfaced in Trump's creation of a UN-supported "Board of Peace" mechanism for conflict resolution beyond Gaza—and the guest list tells you everything.
Russia, China, India, and Japan were all invited. Meanwhile, most Five Eyes members and key European allies refused to participate. The old Anglo-Dutch order is being bypassed, and they know it.
This week's speaker, William Wertz, literally wrote the book on this.
His work on the Four Power alliance is the essential intellectual backbone of what is now unfolding on the world stage.
BEWARE The British East India Company!: Toward an Alliance Between the USA, Russia, China, and India to Finally Defeat the British Empire
by William Wertz
This book presents a comprehensive history of the existential war waged between the Anglo-Dutch imperial system and what became known as the American System of political economy ever since the creation of the predatory British and Dutch East India Companies.
On that basis, the book presents a counterintuitive solution to the crisis confronting humanity today, arguing that only a combination of the Four Powers, the USA, Russia, China and India, has the power to finally dismantle the Anglo-Dutch imperial system as it emerged from the British and Dutch East India Companies.
In this week's class, he joins Tony Papert to lay out the full strategic picture—what the Core 5 means, where it came from, how it connects to LaRouche's life's work, and why it represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to break the back of the Anglo-Dutch system.
The 2026 midterms will determine whether this agenda survives.

The universe isn't a machine — it's a creative process. Bruce Director traces the concept of "potential" from Plato through Cusa to Gauss, and shows why top-down thinking is the key to science, economics, and politics.
Will Wertz traces the millennia-long battle between national sovereignty and empire — from Plato to Nicholas of Cusa to the EU — and shows why a new Bretton Woods system is the path forward.
They rewrote your history. A suppressed 400-page manuscript — hidden for 230 years — reveals the true philosophical war behind the American Revolution. Charles Park traces the direct line from Leibniz through Logan and Franklin to the founding of the republic.
From Ecuador's jungles to Mexico's cartel heartland, a hemisphere-wide military and financial coalition is dismantling the narco-terrorist networks that have claimed more American lives than any war and that have terrorized and killed countless more of our neighbors throughout the hemisphere.
