How power is being consolidated in today’s world — Evan X

What people thought America could be – a beacon of democracy – was the last thing it became. In reality, it’s a corporate machine that has given rise to the Transnational Private Sector (TPS).

The TPS is a coalition of corporate giants, led by the Financial-Industrial Complex (FIC) with firms like JPMorgan, Goldman, and BlackRock, alongside the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC), Consumer-Industrial Complex (CIC), and Techno-Industrial Complex (TIC).

This collective force operates beyond borders, transcends nationality, and prioritizes profit over public welfare.

When Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan’s CEO, warned in October 2024 that wars in Ukraine and the Middle East could destabilize the global economy, he wasn’t just forecasting. He was asserting the TPS’s dominance over policy.

To understand this power, you have to examine the game theory driving the TPS’s clash with nations.

This concept that I have developed deliberately sets aside the idea of good, evil, right, or wrong. Geopolitical dynamics are examined through the lens of incentives, power, and measurable outcomes, not moral judgments. The focus is the strategic interplay of actors, stripped of ethical narratives.

___

Game theory provides a framework for understanding geopolitical strategies by analyzing the incentives that drive actors’ decisions.

There are two distinct game types: finite and infinite. Both these games shape global interactions. Finite games are zero-sum with defined endpoints, and clear winners and losers. It’s akin to a corporate quarter where profit maximization is the sole objective.

One player wins, the other loses.

Infinite games, conversely, lack a conclusion, have no end, prioritizing sustained participation through long-term stability, akin to a nation’s multi-generational survival strategy.

States operate within infinite games.

They do not expire. They do not tap out.

Sec of State Marco Rubio on dismantling the censorship industry in USA and Europe

Envoy Steve Witkoff Gives Topline Review Following 5 Hour Meeting with Vladimir Putin

President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to St Petersburg (interesting venue), and spent approximately 5 hours in discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his top two advisors.  This was Witkoff’s third direct face-to-face meeting with President Putin.

First, President Putin would never give this much time to a non-principal in any geopolitical conversation, unless Putin felt he was directly talking to the principal through the voice in front of him.  In essence, Trump has told Putin that Witkoff is his mouth and ears, Putin responds accordingly.  When Putin speaks to Witkoff he is speaking to Trump, and when Putin hears from Witkoff he is hearing from Trump.

Following the five-hour meeting with President Putin, Witkoff appears on Fox News so that Sean Hannity can tell Witkoff what his meeting with Putin really means.  Hannity is not only insufferable, at this point in time he is best considered a confidential human source, ¹acting on behalf of the CIA who influence him.  WATCH:

Within the brief moments provided by Hannity for Witkoff to speak, the envoy of President Trump noted both Putin and Trump understand the core issues and are aligned to solve the problem despite the CIA and SSCI efforts to keep wedging them apart.  Additionally, Trump and Putin see a future where geopolitical and economic alignment can be very beneficial for both Russia and the United States; they just need to find a way to navigate the complex politics on the U.S/NATO side of the mess.

President Putin does not want an alignment with Chinese President Xi Jinping, it’s not a natural fit for Russia to be strategically networking with China.  Put a simpler way, Putin really doesn’t like Chairman Xi because Russia values brutal honesty in relationships, not the Beijing cunningness, ulterior motives and manipulative self-interest.

President Trump and President Putin can be natural allies.  Both leaders have the same basic national security worldview and on an economic front Putin would rather have financial ties to the West than the East.

However, the broader CIA apparatus is not going to give up power or control to President Trump without a fight.  Recently the CIA operated rotor wing (helicopter) drones to attack Moscow in order to provoke a useful response from Putin.  Despite the efforts of Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, both the CIA and State Dept embeds are operating to maintain their control in Ukraine.

Russia is a major part of the West. There is no other more natural ally to Europe and the collective West than Russia. Putin has always seen it this way. The question is who controls the CIA, thus causing them to work against this alliance. Who started and is prolonging the Ukraine War? Ukraine is what Russia would look like today had Putin not gained control. There is a large component of Jewish Supremacism showing through wide cracks in American and European policies toward Russia. The collective West, minus Russia, clearly wants and has stated many times that they are working to break Russia into a bunch of small nations that can be easily controlled. The deepest question is who controls the collective West, which probably means who controls the CIA? Does Trump know? I doubt it. Are Jewish Supremacists in control of the CIA? Do they themselves even know? The puzzle of who has ultimate control within a top secret and extremely powerful organization (the CIA) illustrates that even the most powerful people in the world may not, and probably do not, know who is at the top. In fact, even the top person may not be sure he is at the top. This is the basis of KOBK game theory, which is always the bottom line of world history. As for Jewish Supremists: if they are the top controllers within the CIA and thus the collective West, why are they so obstreperous about it? Are they neurotic hegemons of the world or are they ‘mere’ nervous fronts for the real hegemon we cannot see? ABN

Elon Musk is Doing What Eric Holder Dreamed of Doing

Everything we see unfolding, from the Tech Bro alignment with Trump, to the network of influence after the election, to the selection and advisement of specific individuals to join the administration, all the way to the first-round expose’ of USAID, should be looked upon with a background forecast.

(1) gaining access to govt data was the goal; (2) monetizing the system with proprietary AI contracts (vis-a-vis Palantir) is the benefit; (3) however, a national security justified surveillance state is going to be the outcome.

As people are shocked at the USAID spending scandal unfolding, I would posit the USAID silo was chosen first for DOGE exploration specifically because the subsequent outrage would gain the highest amount of public support for the pending solution. It’s the pending solution to the crisis that we should be very focused on.

Their solution will never be about US, it will always be about THEM; what’s in their best interests. That’s their focus, not us, them.

Failing to STOP after crisis in the past always ended up with acceptance of their solution. Now we take off our shoes at the airport, go through body scans, accept pat-downs, wear masks, accept sketchy vaccines, click yes on 5,000-word terms of service for privacy statements we never read, align ourselves with Real ID, and generally accept the all-encompassing surveillance state; none of which is grounded upon liberty or freedom. It’s all based on govt control.

Yes, as poked by Musk the govt is in crisis, and just as sure as you are reading this the administrators within govt already have the solution ready to roll.

“We will use advanced technology and non-partisan AI programming, to make the government more efficient and ensure this level of corruption and wasteful spending never happens again.”  That’s the selling point.

Every dollar will be tracked, monitored and oversight will be transparent and available for everyone to see. Just ignore the part where the same efficiency system is monitoring your real ID, connecting your personage to the new govt and private sector interfaces, and click “I agree” on your next federal tax filing.

Trust us Comrade citizen, the new technologically advanced DODGE approved govt system cares about responsible stewardship and you. Swear.”

I honestly do not see any way out of this. The tech is too powerful and easy to implement. The dystopian side of this is a horror show. The utopian side might be good, even very good — no crime, smooth bureaucracy, better information everywhere. It looks like a reverse-Q plot. Robots doing all the work. Some hope may be higher IQs through digital babies leading to elites becoming bored with cruelty. Having total verifiable control of everyone is the ultimate KOBK move. KOBK has always ruled the earth. There is no reason to believe it will stop now. Can the same tech further evolved produce a wise hegemon, a benevolent dictator? ABN

‘Rightfully theirs’: China targets Australia as ‘the next Taiwan’

Beijing’s best and brightest are pushing for a radical plan involving Australia – and it should make us all very nervous.

Is Australia the next Taiwan? The next Spratly Islands? The next Himalayan Ladakh?

Some of China’s up-and-coming Communist Youth are asserting the land Down Under is rightfully theirs.

Jamestown Foundation open source intelligence analyst Shijie Wang has stumbled across an online discussion among Beijing’s best and brightest young minds.

The posts, isolated from the rest of the world behind the Chinese Communist Party’s “Great Internet Firewall”, advocate the “annexation” of Australia based on similar arguments to those being applied against the Himalayas, the East and South China Seas, the Senkaku and Spratly Islands and Taiwan.

The ancient Chinese Empire once went there.

Therefore, it belongs to China.

The expansionist advocacy flared after three Chinese warships last month circumnavigated Australia for the first time.

Along the way, the task group provoked controversy by conducting live-fire gunnery exercises beneath a busy Australia-New Zealand air traffic corridor.

KOBK, the game of apex power. The world has ever been thus. Be realistic. Understand the left is worse than the right. The left wants your mind—EU, communism, many Dems in USA. The right is milder, freer and better—Singapore, Japan, Russia, not enough GOPs or Independents in USA. ABN

Gripping story of Trump’s ‘savior’ Scott Bessent who shoved aside MAGA loyalists to save the world from economic oblivion

When Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent took the podium at the American Bankers Association on Wednesday morning he was anything but ‘yippy’ – the president’s term to describe the handwringing of Republicans and financiers who were sounding the alarm on his tariffs.

Early on, Trump branded them as ‘Panicans,’ a ‘new party based on weak and stupid people,’ but Bessent struck a unique messaging balance that both reassured stock traders and his boss.

Bessent reassured the room of bankers that, thanks to the president’s tariff threats, 75 countries were willing to negotiate with him, and that 15 of those nations had already proposed a deal.

‘The president already had good calls with the Japanese prime minster, and the leaders of South Korea, and Vietnam,’ Bessent revealed, and he was working quickly to settle monumental trade deals.

‘I’m not planning on going anywhere for Easter,’ he grinned, revealing that he would have a ‘lead negotiating role’ in the effort.

Bessent’s tone was relaxed, but made it very clear that he was backing the president’s agenda.

To the world, he urged countries to come to the table with a deal, noting that America was listening.

‘If you don’t retaliate, that is a ceiling,’ he said, urging them not to start ‘cutting their own throat’ by aligning economically with China.

link

The tariffs are a KOBK game theory move par excellance—Kill-Or-Be-Killed. ‘Don’t cut your own throat by retaliating’, Bessent said, voicing an actual threat.

If you retaliate as China has done you will be ‘killed’, meaning neutered, your power taken from you, subordinated to USA. If you cooperate and are reasonable we will all prosper and all will be well.

USA has the military, and more importantly, economic power to make this very strong KOBK move against the entire world. China has been an ungrateful parasite against USA and most of the rest of the world. It’s a communist-Chinese cultural flaw; selfish zero-sum thinking from dawn to dusk.

If China continues its KOBK line of retaliation, they may start a war with Taiwan or raise threat levels high enough to greatly disturb Taiwan while distracting their own people. They could also make moves against South Korea or Japan, not to mention USA.

Bessent is the perfect person to lead this largest and strongest KOBK move in world history. It’s a beautiful move, extremely well executed. Rather than bitch and moan, understand that Trump is doing what is best for USA and for the world. Using Bessent to deliver the message is perfect, as his tone is gentle but certain and it is hard not to like or trust him. He speaks softly but is carrying an enormous club. ABN

Provoking external conflict is one of the only two cards CCP has left to play — Jennifer Zeng

I would take this seriously. CCP has played a zero-sum, parasitic trade game with USA for well over two decades. Trump is calling their bluff. CCP is thus pushed (in their own minds and by their own negative momentum) into Kill-Or-Be-Killed strategic territory. CCP leadership cannot survive domestic economic meltdown unless it takes the world down with it or creates a major light show to distract its people. It does appear that Trump’s tariffs have been designed to confront CCP, among others. The leaders of CCP and USA (and Russia) are trapped in KOBK options. ABN

Space Force Commander in Greenland removed from command ‘for loss of confidence in her ability to lead’

  • Published April 10, 2025
  • By Space Operations Command Public Affairs

Pituffik Space Base, Greenland —  Colonel Susannah Meyers, commander of Pituffik Space Base was removed from command by Colonel Kenneth Klock, commander of Space Base Delta 1, on April 10, 2025 for loss of confidence in her ability to lead. 

Commanders are expected to adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially as it relates to remaining nonpartisan in the performance of their duties.

The cause of her demotion:

Just days after Vice President JD Vance’s March visit to Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, the installation commander sent out an email to the base distancing it from Vance’s criticism of Denmark and its oversight of the territory, Military.com has learned.

Col. Susan Meyers, the commander of the 821st Space Base Group who also oversees the Pentagon’s northernmost military base, sent a March 31 message to all personnel at Pituffik seemingly aimed at generating unity among the airmen and Guardians, as well as the Canadians, Danes and Greenlanders who work there, following Vance’s appearance. She wrote that she “spent the weekend thinking about Friday’s visit — the actions taken, the words spoken, and how it must have affected each of you.”

“I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,” Meyers wrote in the email, which was communicated to Military.com.
