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.
Their permanence compels them to prioritize enduring stability over immediate gains. For instance, China’s $1 trillion Belt and Road Initiative, spanning decades, secures global trade networks to ensure long-term economic influence. BRICS nations, through $10 billion in yuan-based trade, foster mutual economic resilience for mutual prosperity.
This cooperative approach engenders a form of morality rooted in reciprocity: mutual support today ensures mutual survival tomorrow. Such strategies reflect a commitment to societal development and stability, as states must maintain legitimacy and resources for their populations over time.
The TPS operates as a corporate entity, fundamentally detached from societal obligations. Unlike states, the TPS bears no responsibility to citizens, public welfare, or long-term development. Its imperative is profit maximization within finite time horizons, driven by shareholder demands and market cycles.
The Bush family, whose neoconservative war-hawk policies dragged America into catastrophic Middle East quagmires costing trillions and countless lives, is plotting a brazen political comeback, even as voters from all sides have rejected their reckless globalist agenda.
Despite George P. Bush’s humiliating 2022 defeat in the Texas attorney general GOP primary, Jonathan, a former health care executive, is testing the waters with an exploratory committee and a new nonprofit, “Maine for Keeps,” aimed at tackling the state’s economic and housing woes. The Bangor Daily News reported that George W. Bush and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush rolled out the red carpet for their cousin at a swanky Kennebunkport fundraiser this week.

According to Brandon Rottinghouse, a University of Houston political science professor, Bush-style politics are “like the anti-MAGA” and that the “tone and issue profile of most modern Republicans are different from the Bush family politics,” adding “Republican primary audiences are now conditioned to a more aggressive breed of conservatism, one district from the Bush family political legacy.”
Meanwhile, Ronald Schmidt, professor of political science at the University of Southern Maine, told Newsweek that there are still Republicans in the state who would support a Bush.
The face of yet another elite faction vying for American power.
I would not be at all surprised if this faction were behind the assassination attempt on Trump, or closely associated with whomever did it.
I do see the notion that the assassination was political theater made to help Trump, but believe the odds of that are low.
There are many elite factions who bear on USA — European royal families, Jewish Supremists, the Bushes, often aligned with the Clintons. We also have Thiel, Musk, and the tech bros; the CCP and more.
This list is long depending how far down the power structure you go or how widely you cast your net. ABN
Former chief of staff of the Ukrainian Army’s elite Azov Brigade Lieutenant Colonel Bogdan Krotevich has claimed that Ukrainain forces in the disputed Donbas regions are facing an increasingly catastrophic situation, with Russian units poised to achieve two major encirclements.
“I honestly don’t know what exactly you are being told, but I can tell you: the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka line is, without exaggeration, a complete f**k up.
And this f**k up has been growing for a long time, getting messier every day,” he stated in an open letter to President Volodymyr Zelensky on August 11.
Pokrovsk has been surrounded by Russian forces, while Konstantinovka is facing semi-encirclement, he added, sharing a map which he claimed showed the situation in the area, which corroborated media reports of a major Russian breakthrough to the north of Pokrovsk.
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week in Alaska.
Trump shared the ground-breaking statement via his Truth Social social media platform where he described the meeting as ‘highly anticipated,’ though few details were provided.
The summit would be the first face-to-face meeting between the two world leaders since Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine in 2022 under President Joe Biden.
‘The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska,’ Trump wrote.
‘Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’
Nvidia said there are no backdoors or kill switches in its chips, denying an accusation from the Chinese government. The company also urged policymakers to reject proposals for backdoors and kill switches.
“There are no back doors in NVIDIA chips. No kill switches. No spyware. That’s not how trustworthy systems are built—and never will be,” Nvidia Chief Security Officer David Reber Jr. wrote in a blog post yesterday.
The Cyberspace Administration of China last week said it held a meeting with Nvidia over “serious security issues” in the company’s chips and claimed that US AI experts “revealed that Nvidia’s computing chips have location tracking and can remotely shut down the technology.”
The accusation is related to the H20 chip Nvidia made for the Chinese market to comply with US export restrictions. US lawmakers are meanwhile considering a Chip Security Act that would require exported chips to be built with “location verification.” The bill also calls for an assessment of mechanisms to stop unauthorized use—a proposal that critics say could lead to a “kill switch” like the kind that Nvidia wants to prevent.
Chinese state media has released a rare footage of a new Type 094 Class nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine departing on a long-range patrol, with the broadcast featuring a declaration from one of the crew pledging fire the ship’s nuclear missiles “without hesitation” if ordered.
The ship departed from Longpo Naval Base, a heavily fortified underground facility on Hainan Island that hosts the bulk of the Chinese strategic submarine fleet.
The facility has recently seen new J-20 fifth generation fighter and J-16 heavyweight fighter brigades deployed nearby, likely as means to strengthen its defences.
This footage is the first known instance in which Chinese state media has publicly acknowledged the active deployment of the submarine class.
Type 094 JIn Class Nuclear Powered Ballistic Missile Submarine
Although China has emerged as a world leader in many areas of its military capabilities, its fleet of modern ballistic missile submarines remains small at an estimated four ships. The Type 094 Class has nevertheless provided a major leap forward in capabilities that has largely bridged the technological gap with the American and Russian fleets.
The insane level of cope since Sunday’s EU Trade deal announcement has been hilarious to watch… from the US haters who believed their own bullshit about American weakness as well as from the Europhiles who somehow really did think the US needs the EU to prosper.
It seems the counter narrative that has been hastily ginned up is, “This will never pass the EU Parliament…so it’s all bullshit from Trump,” however is the absolute worst.
Because, let’s think this through shall we…
1) Von der Satan just barely passed a vote of No Confidence earlier in the month. She’s already damaged goods.
2) Trump has the goods on EU and UK malfeasance involving the 2016, 2020 and 2022 US elections, and he sent @DNIGabbard over to London before dropping the bombs on them. What was presented is likely a lot bigger than just rigging our elections, think Pfizer shots, biolabs, NGO money laundering in Ukraine and more.
3) If the EU parliament goes against Von der Fuhrer over this deal, then that weakens the EU even further as countries who can get a better deal from Trump individually will do so.
4) Parliament will be a mess as an aftershock. Old coalitions held together through blackmail, arm-twisting, threats to withhold funding, etc. will splinter.
5) Chaos in Brussels will be met with across the board selling of EU debt as the only hope the market has right now is the promise of them spending “trillions” on defense. This is why the DAX is up 21% in 2025, and trading at near all-time-highs both in nominal and valuation terms (P/E ~19).
For these reasons (and more), the whole talking point about parliament is a non-starter. None of the feckless Eurocrats who hold marginal power in that chamber will do anything other than froth at the mouth like @guyverhofstadt.
But, they will always, in the end, vote for more of what got them here.
Now, if you want to talk why this deal may have a silver lining for the EU, it would be this… that Trump used their desperation for 1) a deal, 2) his support for their insane war in Ukraine and 3) to collapse their economy to consolidate power in Brussels to get everything he wanted…
He can then do what he did today, issue a stronger message to Russia to end the conflict on less than perfect terms for them while he guts their biggest threat (the EU) through reversing the capital flow back to the US.
There may still have to be a NATO attempt in Ukraine which will be bloody for everyone if it happens. But it may be the only way for the people in Europe to be shocked out of their complacency.
First Trump crushes their EU leadership, then add in a couple hundred thousand dead in Ukraine… that’ll leave a mark politically.
From killing Iran’s top general to legitimizing West Bank annexation, Donald Trump has made U.S. power serve Israel.
…America Last: Trump’s Radical Realignment in Service of Israeli Power
What makes Trump’s presidency uniquely dangerous is not simply the extremity of individual policies, but their cumulative effect in normalizing Jewish supremacist objectives under U.S. protection. By shattering norms around Jerusalem, settlements, and Palestinian displacement, Trump has created new facts on the ground that future administrations may find politically impossible to reverse.
Unlike his predecessors, who operated within international frameworks, respected multilateral diplomacy, and maintained at least nominal distance from Israel’s most extreme demands, Trump has turned the United States into an uncritical enabler of Israeli expansionism. His decisions have gone far beyond even the Bush administration, which pursued nation-building campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan but never attacked Iran directly or endorsed population transfer.
Despite running as an America First candidate, Trump has spent much of his political capital bolstering Israeli military and geopolitical power. In the process, he has revealed the hollow nature of his anti-war image and nationalist rhetoric. His administration, staffed with ideologues committed to Israeli supremacy, has reoriented U.S. foreign policy around the goal of cementing Israel’s regional hegemony, no matter the cost in lives, stability, or American credibility.
By aligning U.S. power with Israel’s expansionist agenda, Trump has steered American foreign policy into dangerous and potentially irreversible territory.
Eastern Europeans are largely descended from slaves or freed slaves.
Under one or another imperial rule, EE never developed a middle class, let alone a vibrant wealthy middle class.
Then the Bolsheviks took over and it got worse.
Today, Poland appears to be the only non-cucked largish country in Europe. Can they lead the way?
Notice that Western Europe/ NATO/ USA provoked the Ukraine War and are continuing it, with the result that yet another European people, Ukrainians, have lost all of their young men.
Our elites really suck. Maybe EE can save the day but I doubt it.
Their spirit is good, though. And that’s everything.
Imo, fair skinned, blue-eyed Northern Europeans and all of the many peoples closely related to them are our best hope.
The bigger we can make that group and rouse it to action, the better.
When Irish see themselves as ethnic brothers with Russia, Poland, Czechia, Spain, Germany and more, the West will come alive again. ABN
UPDATE ONE DAY LATER: Look at this:
The Prosecutor’s Office announced that it is investigating a speech made last weekend for inciting hatred.
A young mother gave a speech in Zamość that included following sentences
“I’m afraid some black man [murzyn] will come while I’m walking with my child and hurt us”
“Some come here to work, but what good is it if someone goes to work in the morning and murders a young girl in the evening? Shameful! That’s why we shouldn’t allow blacks to be brought to our beautiful Zamość, Islamists who will murder us and our children. Down with immigration”
She faces up to three years in prison if convicted
