The analysis presented in the above video is the best alternative to the notion that Trump has gone crazy and is destroying USA and the world… I dislike making predictions because they turn thoughtful analyses into gambling, so I will not speculate about the future of the world. But if Trump is doing what Kokinda says, which appears to be the case, I hope he succeeds, and it appears he may very well do so. I hope readers of this site will at least listen to the argument above. ABN
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) has released the April jobs report showing 115,000 jobs gained [DATA HERE]. Inside the numbers, federal government employment continued to decline in April (-9,000). Since reaching a peak in October 2024, federal government employment is down by 348,000, or 11.5 percent since the 2024 election.
The March report was also revised upward from 178,000 to 185,000. The overall jobs gain was double what most ‘experts’ and economic pundits had expected. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.3 percent.
So if Trump knows, his apparent demotion of Israel is explained. If he knows, his end-run around Europe and Israel, makes sense. There are many other signs Trump knows the Middle East and Israel and more, and is reorganizing world geopolitics based on pragmatics and USA’s best interests. As a global top hegemon, Trump is doing what he has to do (by KOBK rules). I am speculating. I want the best for USA and the world, in that order. ABN
President Trump announces “Project Freedom,” directing the U.S. Navy to escort neutral-country ships through the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday and warning that interference will be attacked, while noting positive U.S.-Iran discussions and framing the move as a test of whether Iran’s negotiators control the IRGC.
The episode argues Trump is using oil and gas to rebuild the U.S. economy and to displace London’s oil-pricing power, citing April 20 Presidential Determinations under the Defense Production Act, a National Energy Dominance Council led by Doug Burgum and Chris Wright, and rising U.S. production (EIA March 2026: ~24 million bpd) driving lower prices, a manufacturing revival, and a shrinking trade deficit.
It contrasts this with post-1971 “petrodollar” strategy, OPEC shocks, “controlled disintegration,” and Iran-related destabilization, and claims modern media propaganda—from Lippmann to Operation Mockingbird to recent censorship networks—drives anti-Trump narratives.
