While Democrats trash the President abroad, Rubio challenges Europe on sovereignty, industrialization, and Western civilization's future—offering partnership or separation.
We’re excited to share the latest episode of Promethean Overviews. In this installment, Mike Steger explains why 2026 could be a defining turning point for the United States — a moment that will shape whether the nation continues its decline or restores its industrial and cultural strength.
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.
