Prior to the 2012 election and the rise of the Sandra Fluke free birth control narrative, we used to call them social issues; however, the usefulness of cultural wars has morphed into the larger war of wokeism.
In the big picture, keeping the base GOPe voter distracted from the economic expansion of multinational globalism, the corporate ‘masters of the universe’ (ie. the Big Club), need to keep pushing anti-wokeism as a political strategy.
The cultural issues are useful tools to keep control of an alignment of voters. It has always been thus, and even more important now that people are starting to realize the expansion of the rust belt.
The rust belt, the diminishment of the U.S. economic manufacturing base, was an outcome of corporate control over politics. Corporations and banks seek profit, those profits are inflated by a U.S. service driven economic model. Skilled jobs require higher wages.
If the skilled jobs can be outsourced to lower cost labor nations, the subsequent lowered labor costs drive bigger margins. Again, it has always been thus.
At the core of the U.S. political issue, you discover that both wings of the DC UniParty agree with this basic economic model. Republicans and Democrats now use the catchphrase ‘service driven economy‘ with bipartisan frequency.
Many voters no longer have any reference to an economic system that is anything except a ‘service driven economy’, yet nothing about that system provides long-term value for U.S. voters or workers.
Within this very specific dynamic, you find the root of the support for Donald J. Trump. A larger, formerly considered silent majority who comprise the baseline middle class workforce, find common understanding with President Trump because he sees the flaws in the economic model.
Not coincidentally, it is only Donald Trump who has ever discussed these economic issues. Factually, no national politician in the modern era prior to Donald Trump ever dared broach the subject of economic nationalism, economic globalism and the negative consequences therein. Republican candidates who would disagree on economic policy would find themselves in the target field of the corporations who fund the political system.
A general platform more akin to a code of omerta covered the entire subject of republican economic policy.
As the pandemic years have shown, economic security is deeply tied to national security. As an outcome, economic policy ultimately drives foreign policy. When combined, the economic and foreign policy outlooks form the structural alignment of the UniParty platform.
Following the downstream effect of multinational corporate influence, modern Democrats support expansionist and interventionist foreign policy. Meanwhile, modern Republicans, previously called “neocons” have always supported expansionist and interventionist foreign policy.
Leadership of both parties now align in a singular foreign policy outlook; thus, we see support for the Ukraine spending and intervention by both Democrats and Republicans. However, outside the DC bubble of multinational corporate influence, the support for the interventionist foreign policy doesn’t exist in the same scale and scope.
Voters inside both the Democrat and Republican base do not support U.S. foreign policy intervention at the same level as the political leadership of both parties. There is a structural break between the priorities of voters and the priorities of the elected officials. None of this is new discussion, we all accept this basic reality and we see it every day amid the headlines.
With political leadership of both parties supporting the same economic outlook, and both parties supporting the same foreign policy outlook, we find the source of opposition against U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Economic policy and foreign policy form the uniting bond that drives both parties to oppose Trump’s America First ideological outlook.
As long as Donald J Trump singularly represents the only counterforce against this UniParty globalist construct, he will continue to be targeted by the system of financial controllers who fund the political system. For the sake of brevity this alignment of multinational corporate and financial economic interests is called “the big club.”
As part of the strategic political effort, the Republican wing of the Big Club needs to carve up the supporters of Donald Trump into smaller, easier to target, pieces. This is where the value of the culture war, what is now considered as ‘wokeism‘, plays into the strategy of those who seek to control political outcomes and remove the threat that Trump represents to their financial interests.
In many ways, this is why we are seeing prominent Republican officeholders pushing the culture war as a tool for their own political advancement. The same Big Club members who are directly fighting against the America-First economic agenda, are the same Big Club members who are funding the Republican politicians to push the culture war.
The corporations, billionaires and multinationals who are funding the Republican candidates do not have any vested interest in the culture war. For them the social issues are a tool, technique or insurance policy to guarantee security of the interest that does matter, their financial status.
There are trillions at stake, literally trillions. Additionally, decades of their prior investment interests are contingent upon the ‘service driven economy’ being maintained.
Dollars drive the U.S. global trade and financial exchanges. The multinationals, both corporations and banks, have pre-deployed investments all around the globe. However, many of those investments are entirely contingent upon the retention of the U.S. economic system they pre-established before the investment was made. President Donald J. Trump represents the threat to that entire financial system.
Once you understand this, then a great deal of the more nuanced and granular U.S. political moves, almost all of which are funded by the corporations and billionaires who are attached to the global investment process, begin to make sense.
Every non-Trump candidate, funded to create the opposition to America First, is part of this process to use anti-wokeism as a strategy.
With this level of money at stake, do not be surprised when you look at how much is being spent to construct the system that guarantees the continuation of globalism. The money spent in funding the Republican candidates to advance the distracting cultural war pales in comparison to the amount of money at risk in the 2024 election outcome.
That’s the baseline for this:
…“GOP leaders and candidates should take from this poll one important lesson: voters expect them to fight wokeness,” American Principles Project President Terry Schilling said. “Support for policies protecting families from gender ideology is off the charts, with the majority of the base showing a strong preference for tackling these issues. Meanwhile, approval of Republican establishment priorities was much more muted, with most of those surveyed even agreeing that GOP elected officials have given up too much ground in the culture war.”
…“Any candidate who expects to win a Republican primary next year for any office needs to lead on cultural issues in order to win over voters,” Schilling said. “Perhaps the two most prominent leaders on these issues so far have been Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, so it should be no surprise they are far and away the favorites in the presidential field. It’s time for the rest of the party to pay heed and set their priorities accordingly.” (more)
Candidate Donald Trump understands the real priorities of the Big Club extend beyond this useful cultural war, deep into the world of economics and foreign policy.
As each of the corporate funded Republican candidates hits the cultural war (wokeism) effort as part of the distracting political strategy, watch President Trump generally agree with the ‘social issues’, but then counter the distraction with arguments specifically targeting economic and foreign policy.
The entire field of Republican candidates will hold the same economic and foreign policy outlook (Ukraine example), with only Donald Trump representing an alternative.

All that and somehow you managed to avoid using the words SHINY THINGS.
That takes some skill. Well done. I believe the biggest reason for the shiny thing distractions is to avoid having the people focusing on the main reason for what we are experiencing today. The new normal election fraud….branden didnt win.
As I always said, the abortion rights issue, although a very noble and righteous endeavor, was brought out of the closet at a very suspicious time.
No investigations into what led to J6? no investigations into what led about 100 lawmakers to NOT certify the fake President in 2020? Stay distracted my friends….
I saw this in the 90s, running various campaigns. Although I myself am pro-life, the absolute bane of my political life were the rabid pro-lifers …Nothing else mattered to them … Not freedom, not economics (most were illiterate on economic issues).
They would have voted for a Communitist if he were pro-life. Bane of my existence. So ..
WELL SEE.
I have no problem with abortion [with time limits and restrictions] as long as we call it exactly what it is…
Murdering a human being!
It is like saying those children in Nashville died of lead poisoning?
Beheading as cranial displacement?
Epstein as spinal elongation?
I’m not trying to make jokes…I’m trying to make a point!
Nothing tops economic
Priority
Without it we are dead
And that is obviously their plan
With the dollar being well on its way to losing reserve currency status, does any of this really matter? Once we lose that reserve status, there will be hard times for all Americans for many years regardless of political party. Too many politicians have a huge vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Voting them all out is not feasible since both sides are playing the same game. Best we can hope for is delaying the disaster a bit by re-electing Trump. That would only be a four year delay.
Except during those four years leaders will emerge. I also think President Trump must be planning to mentor leaders to take over after him (and I don’t mean meagball).
Can’t remember who wrote the article, but it was dead nuts on about the slow descent into socialism. The writer predicted an occasional strongman would rise up to slow the descent, but only for a couple years. Here we are facing a period of rapid descent that threatens to cause serious destruction to the country’s ability to survive.
Socialism is the historic condition for humanity.
It may be called different names…chiefs and braves, lords and serfs, kings and subjects?
But in reality, it is the same thing?
The elites have the power and the money…The common man ekes out a living, as best he can.
This IS humanity!
I saw a discussion on the Reserve Currency loss.
The conclusion was that it is not as sure as we might think.
The problem is finding something to replace it?
No country want to have it because of the problems it will cause for them.
I would like to add anecdote to SD’s post above, showing how “control” was taken by “they” running places like Blackrock.
As you all know, it was very common in our father’s and grandfather’s time for a person to go to work for a single company and remain there for their entire careers. I will use the example of the great Herb Kelleher and Southwest Airlines.
Herb was a great, and good, man. Like so many other executives of his day, he ran Southwest with the mindset that mgmt would place it’s highest priorities upon 1) customers, and 2) their employees. Herb reasoned that if these two groups of people were happy with Southwest, the profits and growth would take care of itself.
Well, boy oh boy was he right. Herb Kelleher’s company is today a case study at Harvard business school.
However, between then and now something has happened across America’s corporate landscape. A fundamental shift that resulted in all Sundance points out above.
What happened, and how did it happen?
Well, the management model (or mindset) Herb Kelleher used did not make his investors #1. His customers were #1, followed by his employee at #2. His investors were below them. And the greedy, money-driven fund managers on Wall Street did not like that. Not one bit.
So, what did these greedy, money-driven fund managers do?
They needed to break the mindset of executives like Herb Kelleher and what had been taught to the up-and-coming future executives like him. Here is what they did to do that.
First, they realized that executives were paid salaries. This made company executives employees of the company. These executives paid income tax on those salaries, just like everyone else. But the fund managers needed the executives to make the investor class #1…they wanted companies that were run to maximize profits.
So, using their shareholder clout, these fund managers voted in Board of Directors who would do the fund’s bidding. And they began to change how the executives were paid. Instead of salaries, executive compensation was altered to compensation in company stock and options.
Note what happens here 👆. With this change, a given executive is an employee of the company in name only, while in actuality he/she is an equity stakeholder in the company. Prior to this, an executive would take a portion of the salary earned and buy shares in the company. With this change, unlike a regular employee, the executive stopped working for a salary, and began working for equity.
This was a fundamental and important shift.
The reason this is so is because the executive paid in this manner is only an employee of the company in name only. In reality, the executive is part of the investor group, an equity stakeholder. Moreover, the executive does not pay annual taxes on his/her equity stake, even if it goes up. In fact, the executive only pays taxes when, and if, he/she actually sells some or all of his/her equity (ie. shares). So the stock price, and net worth, of the executive can shoot to the moon, but unless he/she sells shares then no taxes are owed.
Such an executive is no longer primarily concerned with customers and employees. No. Their #1 priority is now share price, the same as the mutual and hedge fund managers.
And this, right here, is the #1 vector by which the Wall Street fund managers took control of corporate America and, in so doing, fundamentally shifted how America’s best and most enduring companies were managed from within.
All of the loyalty, the life-long employment p, the “family” corporate culture died with this change.
Profit became #1. At the expense of all else.
they worked hard to get what they got from us, and the current beatings they are giving us daily.
———
nothing they have now, cant be taken back.
manufacturing, jobs, office buildings, interest rates, home ownerships, …
We need a federal law that creates a barrier between the investor class and the mgmt of a company.
Said law should specifically state that a corporation should be run like Herb Kelleher ran Southwest…for the benefit of a given company’s 1) customers and 2) it’s employees. Said law should also state that executives of any corporation cannot be compensate in equity, only in cash salaries. Moreover, it should be illegal for executives of a given company to own any equity in the company that they run, but the fiduciary responsibilities and obligations remain.
Please, no more laws! Too much dependence on government already. And the bureaucracy that administers, enforces, and delivers “justice” for all those laws is already the largest employer on the planet – at our (taxpayer) expense. Maybe if some laws were taken OFF the books, your vision could be realized. However what Steadfast described took about 20 years to out in place. I was at a Fortune 100 company in the first decade of this process.
We are where we are with the IC because of the legislation generated out of the Church Commission.
In a perfect world your idea would be great.
However, there is a huge problem.
The corporations write the laws and exempt them from it.
They “buy” the politicians that vote for the laws, that also exempt them from it.
Insider trading is not illegal for Congress. Just ask Nancy Pelosi? And Mitch?
You are exactly right. That is also when Finance & Accounting people took over corporate America.
The HR people are running/ruining it now. The Bud/Disney/Nike thing is not the only place that HR BS is going on. It’s just the most visible. It’s happening right now by the new overlords of my company.
Coming to everyone else’s company soon!
It can be boiled down to this….
Profit, before people.
Money, before man.
A man like Herb Kelleher would rather go broke and fail before embracing such a ideology. He also worried about what would happen at his company after he was gone.
He was right about that, too.
Probably the same with Sam Walton. He had great goals and motivations. His children are greedy whores.
Today, it seems to me, that it doesn’t matter if the CEO is still a dedicated Herb Kelleher type or a Wharton grad from Wall Street out for #1.
As long as the Investment Fund Mgrs like Blackrock, et al, can influence if not control the availability and/or access to a Corp’s Finance Capital to maintain, expand, or scale a Biz, it really doesn’t matter. They will call the shots.
Some State Governors are now starting to put limits on their State’s pension fund acct management to push back on the power of the Blackrocks of the world to control Main Street Bizs to suit their demands/desires.
As long as these Big Club Wall Street members are donating to Congressional politicians’ campaign, I don’t foresee any Federal legislative remedies to this situation forthcoming.
Perhaps it will come first and faster at the State level and then only in Red Solvent States.
finance and accounting people also took over the health industry
Thx for the explanation. I don’t know the timeline of the ‘shift,’ but for a decade or more (maybe post 2008) I’ve intuited it’s all rigged in favor of the people who already possess the power. I don’t drill down into detail like this, I just feel it. My husband has had a heckuva time coming to terms with the reality that things are … what they are. So it’s helpful to see the cause and effect spelled out.
Well stated, and I agree with your assesment.
The change really took off in the ‘90’s, during the DotCom boom. But it began in the 70’s, and the mindset was revealed in the 1987 movie “Wall Street”, with actor Michael Douglas playing fund manager Gordon Gehko.
”Greed is good” is the famous line from that movie.
Reminds me of the full length Feature staring James Garner back in the ’90s : Barbarians at the Gate!
Don’t forget the changes to the tax code. Those changes made it make sense to offer the stock vs. straight compensation. Those code changes didn’t happen organically…the lobbyists wrote ’em up and had their paid politicians enshrine them into the tax code for a reason. Can’t have exec.’s actually working for the companies they run.
Same could apply to Home Depot…Nardelli came in and started running it into the ground. Huge mistake by Marcus and Blank for letting him take the wheel. Home Depot WAS a customer friendly/employee friendly company
I often wondered what happened to SW, started as a great, and typically Texan company.
So sorry to hear this, but I wondered what happened. Terrible.
this is all a sharade to make us feel small wins, argue, and gain nothing ever.
they are all on the same team. just hustling from different angles.
—
2024 will be like 2022. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS. we tried 1 way, now we do the SAME but locally.
(the numbers, and the locations – will all be organically done without most Americans even understanding it – rally = locations and people)
All I can say is that if we have another stolen election it must be fought or we as America are done.
From above, “If the skilled jobs can be outsourced to lower cost labor nations, the subsequent lowered labor costs drive bigger margins. Again, it has always been thus.”
This is the reply to lefties saying blue states have huge economies greater than some countries and blue states send more money to DC than get back and red states get more than they send.
Tell them multinationals like Apple and other big tech have their world headquarters in California (where the profits are “realized”), but there are no mom and pop factories around the block making those phones, etc. So, no jobs created in the US. Same can be said for most manufacturing with world headquarters in big cities where profits realized, but no jobs in the US that create the product.
they wont know anything until the commmie boot is crushing their skulls. they are the useful idiots.
—–
their sell out of America is being subsidized, so they arent feeling any pain in their betrayal of themselves.
to wit:
who would like to bet against my prediction that when it comes down to it, one of the only cards the “conservatives” have to play: https://redstate.com/joesquire/2023/04/13/it-looks-like-house-republicans-are-preparing-to-cave-on-the-debt-limit-n730688
will be caved on as easily as a couple token WOKE initiatives, so the empire can collapse a little faster – but we’ll be able to cheer about some worthless resolution about CRT or something?
Do these other countries need America for anything? if so, a collapse is impossible unless we have leadership that is doing it.
If the entire world is experienceing financial turmoil/depression, than historically, the USA remains the first choice for foreign investment capital to seek a safe harbor in a global storm. This has been due mainly because of America’s political stability, as well as, economic growth potential.
Should this occur again, it Should help forestall the collapse of our USD.
If they team up Brutus will stab Ceasar in the back AGAIN. We know how that story ends. See Judas Pence. This election it is time to go full on AMERICA. If PDJT had a legit loyal non swamp VP in office in 2020 the election results would have been stopped on January 6th of 2021. Pence had the power to stop it and call for an audit. He destroyed America right then and there. NO TO DESANCTUMONIOUS.
MAGA = Silent Majority
Love it !

President Donald Trump
Excellent and succinct analysis…Continuing the analysis, the logical progression of this service economy that the Uni-party has created, combined with the destruction of the dollar’s sacred reserve currency status, is a situation where manufactured goods have to be bought overseas with dollars which have lost most of their value..The result of that would be hyperinflation followed by a massive depression in the United States…
I would like to add that it’s not just international corporations who have moved jobs overseas. Without naming my small town businesses these local manufacturing business owners have essentially moved every production job abroad and kept their offices here. These are usually third generation family members whose grandparents founded the business and their parents built it up and then they betrayed the community and in my opinion the country too.
because of the first betrayal and seeking slave labor for profit – it forced smaller companies to consider the same path to compete.
natural degression after the first sin was allowed.
either we are against slave like labor, or we are for it.
somehow real SHAME and shaming was traded for this hoax shaming of pronouns and bullshit
President GHW Bush planned for and enabled all of this Relocation for cheap labor in the Western Hemishpere with his NAFA deal that was touted by Pappa Bush as a strategy to compete with the cheap labor and growing mfg Asian markets. He even hailed his NWO.
Marshall McLuhan pointed out that compared to Europe there is no practical difference in America between rich and poor (the working class).
The workers drive big cars, live in big suburban houses, and take exotic vacations.
The difference between rich and poor is social.
It’s almost unheard of for a child of the rich to become an unwed mother.
Hence the importance they attach to abortion.
Actually, that’s not true. In the mid-20th century, middle class women who were unmarried and pregnant were most likely to be convinced to surrender their parental rights.
And that’s why PDJT wins, hands down.
We expect our elected representatives to be able to walk, chew gum & clap in time to the music, all at the same time.
The UniParty is in able of that.
Your venn diagram doesn’t have a single place for FREE SPEECH.
I don’t think I am going along with your restructuring of American’s natural rights. I think I want to keep the right to speech, keep the right to worship where and how I want to, and keep my rights to be free from forced medical tyranny.
And you don’t even think it is important enough to list. We have republicans wanting to wage war on the Mexican cartels, all while ignoring that those cartels answer to the CIA.
I will not play along with your delusions…
re-examine that, while considering the law of the land is given.
i think you are closer to the layout above , once thats considered.
“And you (Sundance) don’t even think it is important enough to list.”
A. Free speech is not the focus of this piece.
B. Sundance speaks to and has spoken to that singular issue in innumerable other pieces.
C. You should go read them.
I’ve read Sundance for years. I’m one of the conspiracy theorists that he always tried to keep out of Conservative Treehouse (thank God for free speech and VPN)
I recognize Sundance’s skills. Now that almost every conspiracy theory has come true, he should recognize mine…
Give the poster a trophy Maybe he’ll feel respected.
I did not interpret the article the same way you did. I believe it was a broad discussion of the relationship between economics and national security through the eyes of the two parties vs. President Trump – and how the former use culture wars to distract. I did not read the article as though it were an exclusion of all other rights.
The best way forward would be a much smaller, less powerful government
but much more emphasis on individual responsibility and strong families.
We need law and order and real justice with discipline in the homes and schools.
None of these existential needs are addressed by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion activists.
Rich people live in this world, Honesty.
Barack and Michelle live in your world.
No segregation, no literal fences required, if the poor are hemmed in by liberal good intentions.
The daughters of the rich don’t end up quarantined to the Democrat unwed mother vote farm.

Let’s not forget that the company was founded and promoted American values for most of its existence. This pivot is due to the sale to Inbev, surrendering it to globalist, Euro values instead of its origins; an ESG system promoted by companies seeking to dictate their personal values over freedom of choice; and one particular executive, a failed lit major, who has absolutely no connection to the product or ability to market it. A diversity hire gone wrong, as they all do.

It seems anything identifying as American is being undermined in this way. The Fanatics takeover of Topps is a great example. The company doesn’t know what it’s doing and is taking a hobby borne of America and its national pastime and seeking to convert it into something less than.
…the subsequent lowered labor costs drive bigger margins.
Not just labor. Not having to comply with OSHA, MSHA, EPA, etc .. regulations drive bigger margins as well.
Globalists are neither pro labor nor pro environment.
Learn it or perish by it…this road either ends with a rebirth of our nation, …the USA or it’s death.
Everything in the past 60+ years leads to our demise.
Wake up! …or don’t. Doo-dah-doo-dah…
He is our “forlorn hope.”
I think it all boils down to
The answer to this
one simple question
I have felt many people out
And I haven’t found one yet!
Everybody will have this moment in life.
How many people are going to take a knee just to be left alone?
Everyone I have asked
so far
WILL TAKE THE KNEE.
They still watch TV
They still go to Walmart
Pretending nothings wrong 😌
I kneel to no Human Being
Unless my body is a corpse!
Only to my God
If asked to kneel, my fury will be so great that anything in my path will be destroyed !
I need to find like minded people because
the rest I don’t want in my foxhole!
Well said. This I have been doing my entire life. I will continue to do to the end of my time.
Money = Power
The States can issue money if it is gold or silver.
Problem—-Any gold or silver in circultion will be hoarded.
Texas has the potential answer.
MoneyCertificates backed by gold
Redeemable in gold.
Must be able to send and receive via internet
Must also be available only to the State’s citizens, with full, verified identity.
States would be able to transfer this money from one state to another.
If the Red States would institute this, the Fed would be out of a job.
Also, North Dakota has a State Bank,,,,others could copy that to help this operate.
One problem with your theory…
We need ONE Governor
To start the ball rolling
And we don’t have one!
Is the ND state bank still operating? Heard, quite awhile back that it was not.
Yes, it is.
A state bank would be a MUST for free states, and give the state some protection against the idiocy of the Fed.
Playing the arbitrage between a 1’st world economy and a third world economy stops working once you have destroyed the 1’st world. It’s a one way ticket.
Everything in this country that is failing is because of policies and laws brought upon the people by their government and unelected bureaucrats. This has been going on for several decades of decadence caused by marxist academia in this country and the mass psychosis of the propagandists in the media. The criminal operations in the district of corruption has been acting with impunity. We the voters did not ask for this. The ignored invasion from our southern border will flood the country with more ignorance. All by design.
Looks like Sundance and Uncle Sam.
There is a National Security aspect to the offshoring of manufacturing jobs. 90% of antibiotics come from China. USA can no longer manufacture the ring forging for a nuclear reactor pressure vessel. Most of our semiconductors come from China, Taiwan, Indonesia. Critical components of the GBU kits (guided bomb units/ smart bombs) come from Switzerland. The list goes on and on. America is at the mercy of other countries and they can decide whether America is allowed to function or not.
Trump is correct. Very specific bilateral trade agreements are the only way to protect America and Americans, not blanket multinational agreements. The WTO isn’t necessarily our friend. NAFTA was a mistake. Giving China Most Favored Nation trading status was a huge mistake.
America better wake up or get used to being the toy, marketplace, punching bag, and consumer for other nations.
The only thing that will stop the constant raising the debt ceiling will be dollar losing world reserve currency status. Can’t raise debt when noone is buying.
Now granted, their solution will be to take over all retirement 401Ks, etc and all be forced to invest in treasuries…….ya know for safety. But, that still will be only a temporary bandaid.
Every policy be it social or economical is to the detriment of the founding stock of the nation. All policies are hostile to us and are a direct reason for our low birth rates. They want us gone. The founding peoples of this nation have not been in control for a very long time. I used to believe social issues were a distraction from the economic, but now I believe the social issues are more important. They threaten our very survival. The push for homosexuality, trans, drug use and miscegenation are killing is by not allowing our people to reproduce at the level we normally would. It is a soft genocide.
There is a discord in this analysis. I agree with the premise entirely, but there is something nagging me.
If we look around at the woke businesses, which include a plethora of big corps, Walmart, target, home depot, Anhiesher Bush, et al, and lets not forget professional sports. These seem to be willing to forfeit profits in the name of wokeism and all its side tenants. Why? Is it the new religion? Or is there something deeper going on here. How can these institutions continue to operate in the red?
I bring this up, because to me, there has to be another cash cow hidden in the barn. Maybe I am missing the point, it could be that personal profit is how to get Republicans and some democrats in line.
But are they really losing money – or simply showing losses on their 10K reports? Stocks seem to be manipulated more than ever these days so one cannot always gauge a company by their aggregate stock value.
For example, Anheuser-Busch lost $6B in stock value out of $130Bn total, or 4.6%, from customer boycott since the Tranny endorsement. It is significant but, so far, far from catastrophic. Big box stores have been closing locations that have been in the red for awhile, and have greatly reduced planned purchases of inventory since the covid shutdowns of 3 years ago.
Don’t forget that the two youngest generations – Millennials and Gen Z – have no problem with Wokism and they constitute its largest % of brainwashed believers….
Or maybe that the trillions at stake are only important as tokens. They do not confer real power.
Thats not what we saw in the first two years of Trump’s presidency. China was losing money hand over fist paying Tariffs that were properly calculated. This was affecting Main street postitively (we all felt it) and Wall Street negatively (they felt it). People were investing and spending locally. Prices locally went the right direction.
With globalists in control, the limiting factor is how long will middle class keep working without collapsing.
So this explains why AH allowed that Dylan boy to blow up Bud Light. AH gets ESG points, they get to dump an underperforming brand and probably get some juicy tax write offs all while making the Big Club happy.
I wonder what would be found if they subpoenaed the Suspicious Activity Reports of SVB Bank from 2018 through the end of the Bank. I guess since they went bankrupt we’ll never know.
GATTACA is shaping up – credentialled ppl are not rushing the (open) borders. Service economy needs its plebs. The Universities are (1) expensive, prohibitively so… and (b) under a marxist anti-American Way regime/dogma.
Now why would that be? Why are Universities and academia in general nowadays the marxist Juedo-Christian enemy bases all over the world?
Because Cultural Security is National Security.
To de-stabilise a Nation, attack the cultural bases.
Everything is downstream from culture, whether natural/inherent/traditional or imposed by gradualism (see Gramsci, Alinksy, etc). Walmarts and other “service economy” franchises of the world can go ahead and hand outjobs to peoples of most any culture, including anti-American Way marxism. Ditto Social Media and social service NGOs of course! But other trusted careers in youth education and the Military services?
Subversive politics too. Look at the West Wing now, crammed with BlackRock consultants – K Streeters and “Military-Industrial contractors” are in the house. And their motives are certainly not those Of The People, By The People, For The People…
Social and economic problem
and
racism
-A punch in face well deserved!
I’m glad he trounced that entitled kneegrow beeatch. Sick of these useless eaters.

Thank you for this article.
The “wedge issues” — the social issues that ostensibly define the differences between the two parties — are designed and, I think, deliberately fanned and screamed about via propaganda, to get people whipped up emotionally, distracted, fighting with each other, and ignoring the overarching issues of primacy.
The public needs to be reminded (see Maslow’s heirarchy of needs) that under the imposition of neo-feudal tyranny, or suffering the effects of WWIII or a global economic collapse — when food, shelter, and the basics of survival are under threat — spending time and effort for or against this or that social issue will be a luxury.

I worked for NABISCO for twenty years. Trump called them out for outsourcing manufacturing. Ten days after the 2020 election we were told that the plant might be closing. Ten days after the inauguration we were told it would definitely be closed. This was, of course, in spite of us having been declared “essential workers” just months earlier.
Will they allow Trump to get a word in edge wise, however?
Or will the absence of his word be too much for these CONs to overcome?
Trump can easily walk and chew gum at the same time. He can do the social issues as well or better than DeSantis, but only he will do trade and immigration right.
Pat Buchanan raised these populist economic issues in both of his presidential campaigns in 1992 and 1996. He was backed by textile titan Roger Milliken. The American textile industry was strong in the Carolinas, and almost completely disappeared.
How do businesses in the States expect to sell things to a working class that doesn’t have any money? Moreover, the government can’t exactly collect taxes from people making subsistence wages.
Stock up on food
Stock up on ammunition
Buy whatever gold and silver you can possibly afford
Befriend a prepper
NO one with a brain is distracted by them. We are all looking under rocks to find our country and the only one who has shown us a path is Donald J. Trump.
Why doesn’t Trump tell us this? Isn’t it his biggest selling point? 🤔
When the BANKS are forced to cover their bad bets ( Derivatives ) the entire Potemkin Village collapses. We have been sending our BAD PAPER around the world, the rest of the globe is tired of US self directing virtually everything. This multi pronged strategy Sundance outlines is running parallel to the the CBDC outcome of control, its all related to the ELITES stealing from the working class of America. Which is why they cannot have DJT in office ever again. Remember that tweet by that A$$ David Pluffe of the Obama regime, well, he meant it. Its going to be up to us to band together and cross lines within the working class to make a dent, if you work, and you are American, we all should be supporting DJT……..What’s the Treehouse mantra, “We ride at Midnight”……..Now more than ever friends, please be vigilant, the gaslighting is about to be off the charts.
Excellent read. How does the decline of the USD as a reserve currency effect the strategy of the Globalists?
I agree that MAGA economic and foreign policy positions, such as favoring America’s national economy over the global economy and avoiding needless neocon wars, are the most important part of MAGA ideology, but fighting for conservative social issues is also important.
Social issues have a large impact on quality of life, and in the case of abortion, even impact the ability to live life in the first place.
It’s key to not let the righteous fight for social issues be used as a distraction away from the critical fight for MAGA economic and foreign policy positions.
We can and must fight for MAGA social, economic, and foreign policy issues simultaneously.
This is a good article and supplements with more detail the higher level view of what is going on.
The wealth of America is because our Constitution supports the free individual, unleashed in that freedom to be all that God Created him to be. As a result, we were more prosperous than other nations that try to control their people.
The uniparty and WEF takes advantage of our buying power because of that wealth, and the difference in cost of labor in other countries (because they are not free), and capitalizes on it at the expense of the wealth of American workers.
Their thirst for money and power is insatiable, and they have no scruples driving us to oblivion for their greed.
