Zelensky Ran to the King. Bessent Told the IMF No.

Trump cut a diesel deal with Putin and told Zelensky to stop hitting refineries. Zelensky went to thank King Charles instead. The same week, Bessent told the IMF America is done playing by globalist rules.

Zelensky Ran to the King. Bessent Told the IMF No.

Last Friday, President Trump got on the phone with Vladimir Putin and made a deal. Russia will immediately ship more than 300,000 tons of diesel, with substantially more to follow. Diesel is short worldwide, and American farmers and ranchers are paying for it.

The next day, Trump warned Ukraine off Russia's refineries, "so he better damn well stop." Then he said it was time for Ukraine to get a new president. Elon Musk agreed.

Then 12 senators led by Richard Blumenthal demanded he rescind the diesel deal. On Wednesday, Zelensky told Piers Morgan he felt betrayed, then thanked King Charles for his "unwavering support of Ukraine." By Thursday morning, Ukraine was hitting Russian energy again.

That was the thesis of yesterday's LIVE: Zelensky's London Trip: What They Are Hiding. On one side is a President making deals to lower your fuel costs and end a crazy war. On the other side is an empire that needs that war to keep going.

The same week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the IMF that America is finished playing by its rules. About 6,500 of you watched across both streams, making it our most-attended LIVE yet. Election Day is 18 days away.

"What you're seeing, quite frankly, folks, is the end of NATO."
— Barbara Boyd
"This administration is in a full on confrontation with every single premise of the British Imperial system."

What They're Hiding: A Real Peace Deal

Barbara described a clean split. The United States wants this war over. Europe and Canada, the modern British Empire, have never given up the centuries-old dream of breaking up Russia.

The press buries the real story, which is a genuine peace proposal negotiated by Witkoff and Kushner. The war would be frozen in the Donbas, and Russia, with the United States holding a stake, would supply oil and gas to Europe again.

In Barbara's words, the President "has offered Europe a way out of committing energy suicide." Instead, Mark Carney and his allies promise a "war economy" will save them. "Going to war with Russia. It's gonna involve a nuclear war for the world," Barbara said.

The Democrats are cheering on Zelensky in hopes that energy chaos beats Trump in the midterms. "This is really the most treasonous stuff I think I've ever seen in my lifetime," she said.

Bessent to the IMF: We Ain't Playing by Your Rules

Susan went back to August 15, 1971, when Nixon took the dollar off the gold reserve standard under pressure from the City of London. Since then, the empire has ruled with two tools: perpetual war against Russia, and an IMF and World Bank that keep new nations from developing.

This week those institutions met in Bangkok. IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva lectured that America can't grow its way out of debt. Bessent stayed home, which Susan said is because he's "too busy running an industrial revolution here in the United States."

His answer was growth, "not balancing your budget like a household checkbook at the kitchen table." He declared that "energy abundance is what sparks economic abundance," and made a first U.S. contribution to the Nuclear Energy Assistance Trust Fund.

That crosses the globalists' oldest red line. Leaders like the Shah of Iran and Mexico's López Portillo were taken down for pursuing nuclear power. Susan called it a resurgence of the American System in a form not seen since William McKinley.

That leaves the empire holding Zelensky, which Susan called "not a strong hand of cards, a dangerous one, but not a strong one."

The Treasury also just fined Bank of America more than $1 billion for money laundering. "This is not a slap on the wrist," Susan said.

Mike asked why we praise Bretton Woods when it gave birth to the IMF. Barbara's answer was short: "Franklin Roosevelt died." FDR wanted a credit system to develop the world and free the colonies. Under Truman, those institutions became tools of empire.

The Real Revolution: The British and the Communists Are Trying to Kill Again
Barbara Boyd’s new 47-page briefing is free for paid Promethean Action members. It names the real enemy in the 2026 midterms: an Empire that has used both Wall Street and the Communist mob against the American System — and is trying again.

The Gas Pump Is a Battlefield

Linda, James, Deb and Joe all asked about gas prices. Susan explained that the price is set "in the City of London by the Brent crude futures trading exchange," and that U.S. refining is running at 98% capacity.

Her advice for angry voters is to remind them why we voted for Trump, "because our country was being destroyed and he's reversed the destruction." We aren't at the golden age yet. "But which way do you wanna go?"

Barbara said she feels the pain at the pump too, but the blame belongs to the people who wrecked our energy policy. "Think about that idiot Joe Biden every time you go to the pump," she said.

No Blue States, and No Retribution Shortcuts

Susan's rule for voters in places like California and Michigan is simple. "There are no blue states. There's only blue cities." Shift the vote inside a city, and you change the whole state.

Michael and Brenda asked why there are no indictments. Barbara said Trump refuses to answer lawfare with more lawfare, out of respect for the office. Obama "was just a tool," she said, and the coup was run by the modern British financial empire.

Susan compared it to Rome. We didn't defeat the Roman Empire by jailing emperors. We defeated it by building Western Christian civilization. "Our retribution is gonna be reestablishing the American Republic."

Fear Is Their Weapon

Barbara called the polls "demoralization polling," an operation designed to make you think you've already lost. The answer is a commitment to take 10 people to the polls.

For anyone who is afraid, Barbara pointed to Trump, who survived an assassination attempt and acts with courage because of it. "Make friends with Ben Franklin. Talk to him as your friend," she said.

Your Assignment

Get your 10 people, or make it 20. That is how Barbara and Susan will close every show until the midterms. Then go out and organize them, and bring any problems to the Midterm Bootcamp.


Next Midterm Bootcamp — Monday, October 19th, 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific

Bring the problems you're running into with your 10 people, and leave with a plan. Election Day will be 15 days away.


See you Thursday.
