In 2015, even before President Trump came down the golden escalator, CTH was outlining a ‘new era and dimension’ in American economics that could be possible if a presidential candidate focused on specific Main Street policy. {Go Deep}
Throughout the next four years we watched carefully how Donald Trump was organizing that Main Street revival {Go Deep} and what specifically was creating the economic growth {Go Deep}.
One of the points emphasized in 2016 about Trump’s unique MAGAnomic policy, was how both Trump and Bernie Sanders agreed on the problem. The difference between them was the solution.
Think of it like economic football.
Both Trump and Sanders identify the rigged game. Bernie Sanders wanted to change the referees so that government controls the game. Donald Trump’s approach was different. Trump wanted to change the rules of the game, not step in and try to play referee to a rigged game where the rules were flawed.
One of the examples of economic “rule changing” is trade tariffs. You don’t need govt to regulate the corporations directly (ie. raise corporate income taxes). Instead, you can change trade policy to make the better corporate decision a return of production back to the USA (a fundamental rules change).
Both approaches involve a different govt policy, but Trump’s approach changes behavior. That’s MAGAnomics.
One of the reasons Trump’s approaches are much more effective, is that his rule changes extend beyond the American corporate game. Trump’s approach changes the behavior of foreign governments and foreign corporations, a win/win/win.
An example is the Japanese government investing in America to offset reciprocity tariffs; while Toyota, a corporation, invests in specific auto manufacturing expansion to avoid baseline tariffs.
You don’t get that kind of result through Bernie’s approach changing the American referee in an all-American game and raising corporate income taxes. And don’t forget, the corporation can just move offshore and avoid income taxes entirely. Apple used to have their company incorporated in Ireland. Trump’s rule changes brought them back.
The Promethean Action PAC is now highlighting the fundamentals of Trump’s MAGAnomics and how the policy is distinctly different from all U.S. economic policy before it.
This short piece provides an excellent explanation of what MAGAnomics means to this administration and how that explains some of what the Promethean group is saying in its videos, which are models of video conciseness and appropriate brevity.

The context and details of the Nowak murder case continue highlighting what cultural Marxism does in policing when combined with aggressive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) demands.
The British publication Sunday Times (paywall) is now reporting that three days after the trial of Vickrum Digwa began; as the police began facing scrutiny and needed to get out in front of the massive public outrage that was coming toward them; the police wanted to produce a statement telling the public Nowak’s death wasn’t really their fault, they were trained to believe the voices of racial minorities over the voices of white people.
The police wanted to issue a statement essentially telling the public of their intent to clarify things once the trial was completed. [This sounds like “a guilty conscience.’] However, the prosecution team stopped the police from issuing any statement. This expanding context is making the issues within the U.K even more toxic and more explosive.
It is understood there had been concern about online commentary and potential public disorder, so Hampshire Police sought the CPS’s views on issuing a message telling people it would address questions once proceedings were complete, according to The Sunday Times.
Prosecutors advised the force that it could risk impacting the “integrity” of the case against Vickrum Digwa. (more)
I still think the worst part of this legal dynamic was the judge in the case ruling the video taken by the killer as he murdered his victim was, “too disturbing to be shown” as evidence. The killer recorded himself doing the killing, and that evidence could not be shown to the jury because it was “too disturbing,” yet the jury was tasked with making a decision on whether the accused was guilty or not. Think about it. Beyond insane judicial logic.
The police never even handcuffed the murderer and now reports say, “Vickrum Digwa was carrying a knife when he arrived at a police station after being arrested for the murder of teenager Henry Nowak, it has emerged. Digwa, 23, was jailed for life last week and must serve a minimum of 21 years behind bars for killing 18-year-old Henry in Southampton in December.”
Everything about this case is just crazy and revealing how insane the British system of justice has become.
Earlier this week, I talked about how Congress is hiding the U.S.–Israel military relationship in the defense bill.
There is a second bill that goes further. It makes it law that a president can’t pull intelligence sharing back without clearing a legal hurdle, even if you elect one who wants to.
It’s Section 622 of the Senate’s Intelligence Authorization Act, approved by the Intelligence Committee last month on a bipartisan vote. Think of it as the intelligence-side twin of Section 224, the weapons-integration provision I broke down previously.
The clause that matters: intelligence sharing with Israel “shall not be suspended, reduced, or otherwise materially limited” unless the president names a specific national-security reason and reports it to Congress.
The default is bolted to on. Reversal is the exception.
It all runs through classified channels and closed-door committees. You won’t find it in anything you can read or vote on, and if it passes, the people you do elect may not be able to do anything about it.
I laid the whole thing out, with every claim sourced. Read it here:
The video highlights a recent Indian police bust of a fake degree racket that seized over 100,000 counterfeit certificates from universities, with many allegedly used to secure U.S. H-1B visas at costs as low as $1,400.
The post cites a former U.S. consular officer’s 2005-2007 assessment of 80-90% fraud in Indian H-1B applications and notes that 83% of such visas issued during the Biden administration went to junior or entry-level positions.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has issued investigative demands to nearly 30 North Texas businesses suspected of H-1B abuses, including operating “ghost offices” to sponsor foreign workers.
By analyzing minute emotional reactions in real-time during normal conversation, FIML practice disrupts the consolidation, or more often the reconsolidation, of “neurotic” responses.
In FIML, a neurotic response is defined as “an emotional response based on a misinterpretation.” The misinterpretation in question can be incipient (just starting) to long-standing (been a habit for years).
The response is disrupted by FIML practice and, thus, tends not to consolidate or reconsolidate, especially after several instances of learning that it is not valid.
A neurotic response is a response based on memory. The following study on fear memories supports the above explanation of FIML practice.
Memories become labile when recalled. In humans and rodents alike, reactivated fear memories can be attenuated by disrupting reconsolidation with extinction training. Using functional brain imaging, we found that, after a conditioned fear memory was formed, reactivation and reconsolidation left a memory trace in the basolateral amygdala that predicted subsequent fear expression and was tightly coupled to activity in the fear circuit of the brain. In contrast, reactivation followed by disrupted reconsolidation suppressed fear, abolished the memory trace, and attenuated fear-circuit connectivity. Thus, as previously demonstrated in rodents, fear memory suppression resulting from behavioral disruption of reconsolidation is amygdala-dependent also in humans, which supports an evolutionarily conserved memory-update mechanism.
FIML practice works by partners consciously and cooperatively disrupting reconsolidation (and initial consolidation) of neurotic memory (and associated behaviors). FIML both extirpates habitual neurotic responses and also prevents the formation of new neurotic responses through conscious disruption of memory consolidation.
FIML probably works as well as it does because humans have “an evolutionarily conserved memory-update mechanism” that favors more truth. Obvious examples of this update mechanism can be seen in many simple mistakes. For instance, if you think the capital of New York State is New York City and someone shows that it is Albany, you will likely correct your mistake immediately with little or no fuss.
Since FIML focuses on small mistakes made between partners, corrections are rarely more difficult than the above example though they may be accompanied by a greater sense of relief. For example, if you thought that maybe your partner was mad at you but then find (through a FIML query) that they are not, your sense of relief may be considerable.
A fresh college degree used to come with a quiet edge in the job market. New grads had better odds of landing work than the average worker, and that edge held for as long as anyone tracked it. Not anymore. They now face higher unemployment than the workforce as a whole, and the gap is the widest on record.
What makes this strange is the timing. The reversal did not start with ChatGPT, and it did not start with the pandemic. It started in early 2019, before either one was on the radar.
The chart tracks a single number, a recent grad’s unemployment rate minus the rate for all workers. Below the zero line grads come out ahead of the typical worker, and above it they fall behind.
The comparison is worth pinning down. “All workers” is the whole U.S. labor force, and most of them are older and more experienced than a new graduate, so a fresh grad starts at a natural disadvantage. For decades the degree more than canceled that disadvantage out. Now it does not.
Children raised by narcissists are characterized by an inner vacuum of unrequited instinctuality.
This happens due to the narcissistic parent or parents being incapable of requiting their child’s innate instincts to depend on them in almost every way.
Narcissistic parents are an extreme example of unrequited childhood instincts. My guess is all people have some version of unrequited childhood instincts with ramifications still present in the grown-up child, now an adult.
Since this condition is so common, all cultures deal with it one way or another, most commonly through some sort of authoritarian model for everyone, Confucianism, Catholicism, bougie values, woke, etc.
All cultures are lowest-common-denominator congregations with specific applications limited to specific situations.
One way to go beyond these limitations is use your vacuum of unrequited childhood (and beyond) instincts to leverage a deeper understanding of your mind.
To be clear, we are largely talking about wholesome instincts for communication, bonding, safety, affection, creativity, etc.
When these unrequited instincts leave a vacuum in you—a sense of deep emptiness—leverage it by resting in it completely.
No words, no images, just the vacuous state of pure emptiness you may remember from early childhood.
That is an important conscious state.
It too is you. It too is an instinct.
Stated negatively it is and was a child’s act of ‘all that’s left’, ‘nothing you can do’, ‘that’s how it was and still is’.
Stated positively, that state, all by its lonesome, is a samadhi state or right next door to one.
With a wholesome dispassionate mind, study that state.
Receive the reward life offers all of us — natural instinctual samadhi, the ‘one taste’ of all things.
Donald Trump has ordered his incoming director of national intelligence (DNI) to start purging officials from the Obama and Biden administrations.
The President told Tulsi Gabbard’s replacement, Bill Pulte, that the 18 agencies, including the CIA and FBI, that he now oversees are ‘unnecessary and/or too big.’
Trump told the Wall Street Journal: ‘I’d like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn’t be there.’
The President told reporters he wants Pulte, a former Florida real estate executive, to ‘start the process’ of firing people, even though he is only serving on an acting basis.
The Nuremberg Code of ethics is laudable, but the trials themselves today appear dubious at best and a travesty of justice at worst. I mention this because of the video’s title, and also because it should be mentioned frequently enough to remind us that history, too, is highly susceptible to fraudulent revisions which support deeply impactful falsehoods in the present. The entire downfall of the West today is largely explainable by historical lies which have inculcated the vast majority of Westerners with self-destructive ideas of who they are and what they can become. Covid itself was a lie as are its dominant prescribed treatments, or prescribed lack thereof. ABN
Europe isn’t anything like the USA. Europe still has a feudal social organization. Civilians are hopelessly obedient to authority. Job security depends on blind obedience. They don’t revolt because for a 1000 years, their their lineages have been bred for unthinking servitude. A small elite exploits this. The courts enforce it. The TV glamorizes it.

Whether this is true or not, it leaves out the ferocious culling of European peoples throughout the world by a clandestine army of anti-White and anti-Western actors, many of whom are Jewish Supremacists. The strongest and smartest Westerners are covertly maimed, especially while still young, by poison, sensory damage, psychosurgery and other softer means. This is a major cause of Western cultural weakness today. By writing about this I am aware it is a two-edged sword — it both warns and frightens. It both calls us to action and frightens us away from action. What to do? I think say it anyway. A problem must be identified before it can be solved. You can see for yourself the culling is real by noticing: 1) how easy it is to wage a multigenerational strategy of covert culling of the strongest; 2) how enormously profitable it is; 3) how savage military strategies can be; 4) by noticing how many promising young people you yourself have watched go crazy, as if they were being poisoned or had been lobotomized. Notice the massive ongoing poisoning of our people by opioids first, then fentanyl, then covid, then covid vaxxes. These are the techniques of deceptive unrestricted war, and they show at all levels — the micro level of the individual, the meso level of the school or institution, or the macro level of the whole society.

Neurons accumulate vitamin C to approximately 10 mM intracellularly, roughly 200 times the concentration found in plasma. This gradient is maintained by SVCT2, a sodium-dependent transporter expressed almost exclusively in neurons in vivo. The brain is also the last organ to be depleted during deficiency. In guinea pigs (which, like humans, cannot synthesize vitamin C), the brain retained 24% of its vitamin C stores after 14 days of zero intake, while the adrenal glands dropped to 4% and the spleen to 3%. The body prioritizes the brain above everything else.
The adrenal glands are the other major site of accumulation. Vitamin C is a required cofactor for two enzymes central to the stress response: 11β-hydroxylase, which catalyzes the final step of cortisol synthesis in the adrenal cortex, and dopamine β-hydroxylase, which converts dopamine to norepinephrine in the adrenal medulla.
Padayatty et al. (2007) measured this directly in 26 human patients. After ACTH administration, adrenal vein vitamin C concentration surged from 39 to 162 μmol/L within 2 minutes, while cortisol did not peak until 15 minutes. The adrenals released vitamin C before they released cortisol. This sequence suggests ascorbate must be mobilized for steroidogenesis to proceed.
This doesn’t mean mega-dosing vitamin C will improve your stress response. Most of this work describes what happens during deficiency or acute demand, not supplementation above adequate intake. But it does reframe what vitamin C actually does in your body: it’s not primarily an antioxidant or immune molecule. It’s a required manufacturing input for cortisol and catecholamines, concentrated exactly where those hormones are made.
