Tariff Signal Pulse - a 🧵

The Trump Administration's tariff notifications and subsequent pullbacks served as a sophisticated "signal pulse" within the context of an ongoing economic and financial conflict, World War Three—an informational, economic, and financial war where global finance and banking are the primary battlegrounds.Image These tariff actions were not merely trade policies but strategic probes designed to expose vulnerabilities, weaknesses, positions, and dependencies in the global financial and banking system.

By announcing tariffs and then retracting or adjusting them, the administration could observe reactions across markets, currencies, supply chains, and political landscapes, thereby gaining a precise understanding of the combatants' strengths and fragilities while simultaneously disrupting vulnerable positions. Following are the top eleven specific and defensible ways this strategy was executed, supported by observable economic phenomena and real-world examples.

Financialists Hell - a 🧵
The reason Financialists flooded our countries with immigrants is to sustain the residential housing market. The entire economy in the post-industrial era is dependent on grossly inflated prices - collateral for the illusion of an economy. - Read through to the end. - Value of all residential properties in the US is estimated at approximately $50 trillion as of March 2025.

Finance as a Religion Problem – a 🧵

This is a discussion of the seven ways in which history proves the statement: "We began to worship a new religion in the 1600s, finance. Replacing our cathedrals with stock exchanges, our churches with banks, our faith in the Divine with faith in money, our accountable hereditary Princes with unaccountable merchant Princes."Image This shift is particularly evident when emphasizing the religious wars leading up to the Peace of Westphalia in Europe and the Glorious Revolution in the British Isles, which marked pivotal transitions from religious to economic dominance.

Female vs. Female Competition - a 🧵

In the abyss of human evolution, women’s competition for the genetic supremacy of their offspring descends into a nightmare of unrelenting ruthlessness, cold-blooded murder, and systematic genocide. Following seven primary strategies, women warp into grotesque distortions of their original forms, unveiling a world where compassion is extinct, and survival demands the annihilation of all who stand in the way. Here, women wield violence, treachery, and extermination as tools to carve a bloody path for their children’s dominance, leaving a wasteland of corpses in their wake.Image Eugenic Slaughter and Genetic Annihilation

Mate selection transforms into a genocidal crusade, where women:

Butcher the genetically unfit, slitting throats or snapping necks of men who fail to exhibit peak physical perfection—crooked teeth, weak frames, or foul odors mark them for death.

Massacre entire bloodlines, poisoning wells or torching homes to erase lineages deemed inferior, ensuring no rival genes pollute their offspring’s future.

Enforce death camps, rounding up the "unworthy" for extermination, their bodies piled high as a testament to genetic purity. In this blood-soaked purge, women become executioners, their wombs the altars of a merciless eugenic god.

We Went Insane in World War I – a 🧵

"This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war." - Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western FrontImage The following thought posits a sweeping and intentionally provocative line of reasoning about the impact of World War I (WWI) on Western and English Civilizations, with the core premise that the war drove both into a state of "clinical insanity," stripped both of moral and just legitimacy, and set off a chain of catastrophic consequences that persist to this very day.

The Collapse Problem – a 🧵

We’re now beginning to truly fall across the event horizon of the abyss, two paths before us, only. Either a slow and steady, till all-of-a sudden, collapse, as Rome in the 5thCentury. Or a brutal internal generational bloody fight ensures we emerge out of Rome like Byzantium under Constantine.

Either we’re at our end as the English Civilization (of which the Americans are the most dominate member), or we will ruthlessly war with ourselves as we must, and have before, until we’re restored as a Civilization that goes on for another thousand years.Image "Civilizations serve as the collective immune systems of peoples, functioning as intricate error correction mechanisms that maintain the vitality of their way of life. They safeguard the continuity of beliefs, norms, standards, and proscriptions by adapting, correcting, and sometimes rejecting elements that threaten the cultural integrity or communal health, ensuring the resilience of culture against the diseases of time and change."

The Special Operations Problem – a 🧵of 🧵's

Security is never attained through merely having rough men – Special Operations – about. It’s only ever attained through the trust and support of the local community. Without the cooperation and constant vigilance of the local community, even the best security measures and the roughest men will fail to secure you.Image When it comes to winning wars and conflict. Lethality is only part of the equation. Only about 1 percent of it. The other 99 percent is about the relationships we build, the communities we stabilize, and the trust we foster.

The Deception Problem – a 🧵(stick through to the end)

Our greatest sin is that we believe we recognize evil, that we can and do know it. But we don’t. Not even those few who’ve gone out in the world to do the very hard things to fight evil. How many of us recognize it was evil, from our own, employing clever and ruthless lies and malevolent deception to induce us to go and to kill others? Almost none. Even after becoming jaded, believing we’ve seen the lies, how many of us are yet being lied to, manipulated and coerced, by members of our very own elite communities?Image “…you are a great sinner, that's true,” he added almost solemnly, “and your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing. – Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

The Manipulation Problem - a 🧵

"Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any and all other factors combined. Any contrary opinion is suicidally wishful thinking at its worst. Societies that forget this basic truth always pay for it with their lives and freedoms." - E.M. BurlingameImage "Bankrupt regimes, when they can no longer govern through consent or competence, resort to the dark arts of deception and manipulation, fostering violence as a smokescreen to conceal their malevolence, cruelty, corruption and ineptitude, seeking always to cling to power through enslavement, murder, genocide and near total chaos." - E.M.

Timeframe: The early 1960s was a period marked by the Cold War, with tensions between the United States (individual sovereignty) and the Soviet Union (slavery to the State) at a high. Latin America was a significant arena for this ideological battle.

The Mob State Problem - a 🧵 (2nd of 4)

Let us never believe organized crime, public or private, is purely a male thing. Here are some examples and scenarios that illustrate how women also control assets and organizations in global criminal affiliations both private (Organized Crime) and public (Mob State) indirectly and in more than a few cases, directly:Image Family Influence: In many criminal organizations, especially those with a family-based structure like the mafia or cartels, women exert significant influence through their roles as wives, mothers, and sisters:

- Influence Decision Making: Women sway decisions on how money is invested, laundered, and distributed due to their close relationships with male leaders. For instance, a cartel leader's wife influences him to diversify assets into legitimate businesses for the sake of their children's future. This extends beyond influence over the movement and application of funding to choice of who lives and who dies.

- Act as Trustees: Women are named as legal owners or shareholders of businesses and properties to avoid asset seizure by law enforcement. This puts them in control of vast sums of wealth and power.

The Mob State Problem - a 🧵(buckle up, it's a long one)

The intricate dance of governments, Wall Street, and organized crime over the past century isn't merely about collaboration or competition; it's a testament to their deep interweaving, where the lines blur, creating a tapestry of power and profit that operates beyond the reach of common law and oversight. A relationship has evolved, becoming so sophisticated that it's impossible to distinguish where one entity ends and the other begins, each playing its role in a complex game of influence, control, and economic supremacy.Image Image

The Praetorian Problem – a 🧵
The Praetorian Problem isn’t merely historical. It’s once more a very real threat to Western Civilization. It’s the security state, individuals, entities and institutions, having once again attained near absolute political, martial and economic power. Power they’ll never give up willingly. Praetorians, who, as history’s shown, are bound by no moral constraints related to abandoning, overthrowing and killing leaders and people from the least to the greatest halls of power.Image How the Praetorian Guard ruled Rome for three centuries:

- The Praetorians leveraged their unique position as the emperor's bodyguards to influence policy, assassinate rulers and leaders they disliked or who wouldn’t defend and expand their power, and to install new emperors and leaders of their choosing.

- As the only armed force within Rome itself, as the only sanctioned intelligence and security forces for the emperors, military leaders and governors, the Praetorian Guard held unmatched military power in all the capitals and military camps of the Roman Empire, allowing them to act as the powerbrokers and kingmakers and to intimidate virtually all political actors.

- The Praetorian's dual role as both protectors and ever-present threats to the emperor, military and many other imperial leaders, gave them unprecedented access and bargaining power, enabling them to extract concessions and accumulate immense wealth, influence and real power over time.

The Peer Problem – a 🧵

Only the weak, bluff. Only those who live in protected classes – sheltered worlds – believe they can bluff their way past reality. Only those who’ve never paid the price required to sustain civilization, the horrors of personally breaking and taking human lives, believe in bluffs. Real power NEVER bluffs!Image Witness the shocked look on the face of an insane woman and/or a weak male who’ve been antagonizing a fight, when they get punched in the face. The look on onlookers faces as they watch power drop the antagonizer to the ground unconscious with a single blow.

Their entire reality collapses and shifts in an instant. When the bluff fails and the eternal real, strength and power, asserts itself.

The Elite Problem – a 🧵

You believe yourselves safe within the hardened, comfortable and well-stocked walls of your “fortresses”. You believe the enemy will come at you in one-off, ill-conceived and conducted physical assaults. You believe your enemy is out there, some other, not already within, and your own. You believe the regime, its rapacious behemoth bureaucracy, is still owned by you. You believe anything and everything can be bought. Far more dangerous still, you believe mercenaries – security guards – will lay down their lives and those of their families for you, merely for a handsome paycheck.
And you’re doomed by this very thinking!Image "For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day." – JFK, Speech on Secret Societies, 27 April 1961 - Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City

The Citizen Problem - a 🧵

"A regime concerned with its native citizens, always brings in foreign peoples and mercenaries to fill the ranks of the military and to contract to. This so as to overcome the aversion a native people have to killing their own. It's an ancient knowing and model followed. Often this includes bringing in criminal elements to unleash hell, be death squads which are extralegal."
Image “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” ― Frederick Douglass
