Most read Bessent’s speech as vague. But it wasn’t what he said—it was how little he needed to say.

A few lines on Europe, debt, and global imbalances quietly confirmed the blueprint behind months of trade pivots, market shocks, and tight-lipped diplomacy.

Let’s trace it. 🧵

I’ve been piecing together a puzzle for months—across Trump’s tariff announcements, gold revaluation murmurs, IMF gripes, and Treasury policy.

It has been vaguely called the Mar-a-Lago Accords.

Not a document. Not yet.

But a framework that is absolutely in motion.

Today Bessent didn’t announce the Mar-a-Lago Accords but confirmed the strategy underpinning them.

And make no mistake: this is not policy-by-tweak.

It’s a long-horizon reset of:
→ How America collects revenue
→ How it trades
→ What it defends
→ What it tolerates

“We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that cannot be taken from a man.”

A few points in response to the thoughtful replies. I am grateful, as always, to have readers capable of civility and serious reflection.

First and foremost, the Spengler passage is not historical in the literal sense. It is a symbol. A figure of spiritual form. Spengler was not calling for resignation or glorifying martyrdom. He was speaking of stance—of the inner dignity of a man who refuses to dissolve into the formlessness around him. The soldier dies at his post not because he is foolish, but because he has become the post. He is structure in an age of collapse.

This is not surrender. It is resistance of the highest kind.

Spengler’s worldview is often misunderstood. He did not weep for the West, nor plead for its salvation. He diagnosed its decline and called upon its best men to meet that fate with clarity, pride, and poise. He saw history not as a field of permanent progress, but as a cycle of becoming and decay, of birth, greatness, and death. In “Man and Technics,” he foresees the coming chaos and the end of the machine age, the dissolution of old certainties, and he does not flinch. He does not tell us to hide. He tells us to stand upright.

To say we must build anew is not to refute this. It is to affirm it—if it is done with honor, not escape. The man at his post may build a new fortress, but he builds it with the same stone his ancestors stood upon. The same soul. The same form. The mistake is believing one can retreat into safety, regroup, and return to history later. History has no pause button. You meet it as it comes, or not at all.

“The West will exist wherever its people exist,” one reply said, and I agree with this completely. However, it must be clarified. The West is not bound to soil alone. It is bound to a spirit, a form, a type of man. If our people live as Western men—if they carry the spirit of the cathedral, the frontier, the forge—then yes, the West survives. It breathes again in every place they stand with honor. But if they flee from form, from duty, from hierarchy, from memory, then it dies, even if they live on in number.

The West is not simply a race or a place. It is a way of being. And that way must be lived, not theorized. Survival is not enough. The future belongs to those who shape it, not to those who merely endure it.

Spengler understood that tragedy is not failure. Tragedy is fate accepted. Greatness does not lie in victory alone. It lies in the refusal to betray what you are, even when the world turns against it.

That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. Not that you win, but that you remain true when everything is lost. That is the meaning of destiny. Not comfort, not certainty, but form held to the end.

And the West, if it is to be reborn, will rise not from survival, but from such men.

🧵They booed. And the elites lost their minds.

On Anzac Day in Melbourne, everyday Australians finally pushed back against the “Welcome to Country” being forced into our national ceremonies.

Here’s what really happened—and why the media are lying to you. 👇 1/12

During the Dawn Service, as an Aboriginal man delivered the Welcome to Country, people in the crowd booed and called out:

“What about the Anzacs?”

“We’re here for all Australians!”

They’d had enough. And they spoke—not with violence, but with raw honesty. 2/12

3. For non-Australian readers:

A Welcome to Country is a brief ritual where an Aboriginal person or persons “welcome” Australians onto land that supposedly still belongs to Aboriginal.
They’re paid hundreds for a few minutes of a non-rehearsed speech. At every major event. 3/12

This is wild!

For those worried about the tariff impact on America and the world, please put your mind at ease and read this Thread🧵.

WHAT YOU'RE NOT HEARING: The Chinese cannot replace the U.S. market. Without it, the Chinese economy collapses.

Here's why … China's entire economic miracle was built on ONE thing - being America's cheap manufacturing hub.

The "Chinese miracle" playbook was simple:
• Open markets to the West
• Offer dirt-cheap labor
• Ignore safety standards
• Let Western companies rake in profits

This worked for decades. But China forgot something crucial: others can do this too.

Slide 1 of 6

Continued … Slide 2 of 6

MASSIVE MISCALCULATION: Beijing thought the American leaders they made rich would protect them forever.

They believed these corporate puppet masters would never let the US stand up to China.

Continued … Slide 3 of 6

WRONG. Along came Donald Trump, who owes them nothing.

The numbers don't lie:
• US exports to China: $143.5B
• Chinese imports to US: $438.9B

They flood our markets while closing or restricting THEIR markets.

But Trump said: NO MORE!

Making $5,000 in crypto isn’t hard!

India and the US are building what could become the defining partnership of the 21st century.

JD Vance, US Vice President, just wrapped up a 4-day visit to India — a strategic move to counter China.

But things took a dark turn… and now, the stakes are sky-high.🧵

In Jaipur, Vance called India “critical to a prosperous and peaceful century.”

He wasn’t just being nice.
The US is trying to win India over — and fast.

Why?
Because China is no longer playing nice, and America needs a new partner with size, smarts, and strength.

Enter: India.

India brings:

– 1.4 Billion people
– A booming economy
– A huge military
– And geopolitical leverage in Asia.

No wonder Trump’s team is offering New Delhi some serious gear:

The F-35 stealth fighters — the crown jewel of US military tech.

NEW: The Harvard Law Review has made DEI the "first priority" of its admissions process. It routinely kills or advances pieces based on the author's race. It even vets articles for racially diverse citations.

And guess what? Editors at the top journal put all this in writing.🧵

We obtained more than four years of documents from the law review, including article evaluations, training materials, and data on the race and gender of journal authors. They reveal a pattern of pervasive race discrimination that could plunge Harvard into even deeper crisis.

Just over half of journal editors are admitted solely based on academic performance. The rest are chosen by a "holistic review committee" that has made the inclusion of "underrepresented groups"—defined to include race—its "first priority," per a resolution passed in 2021.

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz just announced a plan to revolutionize Medicaid.

For too long, Big Pharma has profited from sickness.

The more sick we are, the more money they make.

RFK and Dr. Oz’s crazy idea is this:

Payments should depend on whether the drug actually works.

🧵Thread

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz just announced an innovative plan to tie Medicaid drug payments to successful results.

“The basic idea is intuitive: payments to manufacturers based on whether the drug actually works for patients.”

“CMS negotiated with manufacturers of the FDA-approved gene therapies for sickle cell disease to create an innovative payment structure.”

“The result was a novel kind of public/private partnership.”

“We anticipate learning from this model and adapting it for future applications.”

“We believe it promises long term savings for the states, but also improving access for Medicaid beneficiaries.”

The mainstream media is hysterical about budget cuts to our health agencies.

But more money has not given us better results.

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz’s plan will reduce costs and improve care—at the same time.🧵

Let's discuss the *actual* charges against Judge Hannah Dugan using the Complaint against her.
tl;dr - she sent the man in question into the public hallway where agents there to arrest him watched him walk by and did nothing. 1/
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

¶12 - They had a 6-member task force including one ICE, one CBP, 2 FBI and 2 DEA agents. Whew!
¶10 - because of courthouse security, they knew he would be unarmed.
6 people for one unarmed guy. OK. 2/

Starting at around ¶20 there's a lengthy discussion about Judge Dugan's demeanor - "visibly angry" and "walking quickly." Have they never met a judge? Do you think they like having their calendar messed up? Would the same words have been applied to a male judge? 3/

New testimonies from Ron Krivoi (27), who survived 51 harrowing days in Hamas' brutal captivity in Gaza. Kidnapped during the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre, Ron briefly escaped his captors in Gaza— only to be violently recaptured. In a powerful segment on Israel’s Channel 12 (@N12News) by journalist Ido Solomon (@IdoSolomon), Ron shared the horror of what he endured — and what he witnessed, including the heartbreaking story of Matan Angrest, an IDF soldier still held hostage in Gaza.
A thread🧵:
Photo: GPO

On October 7, 2023, Ron was working at the Nova Festival in southern Israel when Hamas terrorists launched their brutal massacre. He was kidnapped into Gaza.

At first, Ron was held in an apartment in Gaza. In one instance, he saw an opportunity and escaped from his captors. He shared, “At the stage when I was alone outside [in Gaza], no one saw me, and then at the stage when someone did see me – it ended badly. The people there, when they caught me, beat me up. It wasn't a simple thing, I experienced something there… when they caught me and brought me back, the people who beat me were ordinary Gazans, who took out all their frustration on me.”

/1 My Thread on Judge Dugan's Obstruction of Justice. You can listen to @AGPamBondi below but here's the story: Flores-Ruiz was in the Milwaukee Courthouse b/c he allegedly beat up a man & a woman & sent them to the hospital. Three counts of Domestic Abuse. Read more below...🧵

/2 The victims were in the courtroom ready for the pre-trial conference; they were waiting for justice. Judge Dugan found out that ICE agents were in the hallway. She put Flores-Ruiz in the jury box (unusual) & went to confront the federal agents in the hall.

/3 The ICE agents were there lawfully & w/ the knowledge of Milwaukee County. They announced themselves, connected with officers in the building, & agreed to wait in the hallway outside the courtroom, not interfering with the scheduled hearing. This is very standard & routine.

A Project 2025 author recently said its implementation is going “way beyond my wildest dreams.”

Their governing document is now a reality.

8 things Trump’s done 🧵🎥👇🏼

1. They hired the authors of Project 2025.

They’ve been placed in senior roles across the government – from the FCC to Office of Management and Budget.

2. Reproductive freedom.

Project 2025 included an executive order to ban any taxpayer funding for reproductive healthcare. Trump issued that exact order.

Cukup dari 3 buku, Elon Musk bisa bangun perusahaan senilai 350$ juta tanpa perlu gelar doktor

Kok bisa?
Ya, dengan strategi belajar cerdas yang sekarang dipakai dan diajarkan ke insinyur NASA.

Mari kita bahas…🧵👇

Flashback ke tahun 1995.

Elon Musk masuk program doktoral fisika di Stanford.
Baru 2 hari kuliah, dia langsung DO.

Banyak yang nyangka dia ngancurin masa depannya.

Orang tua kecewa, dosen heran, teman-teman mikir “ini anak udah gila kali, ya!”

Tapi…
Ternyata, ini justru titik awal semuanya.

Lompat ke tahun 2001.

Musk baru aja jual startup pertamanya dan jadi jutawan.

Bisa aja dia pensiun muda, beli kapal mewah, hidup santai.

Tapi dia malah kepikiran ide gilak:
“Gimana kalau kita bisa bikin perjalanan ke luar angkasa 10x lebih murah?”

Para ahli waktu itu hanya bisa ketawa.

Pasalnya, industri antariksa itu eksklusif, dan dikuasai raksasa kayak Boeing, dikawal ketat pemerintah, dan diisi orang-orang PhD berpengalaman.

Tapi Musk punya satu senjata rahasia:
Ya, metode belajar yang nggak biasa.

The Astronomical Clock, built in 1410 in Prague, represents the blend of the religions and the astrological knowledge of the ancient cultures.

It displays the Sun, the Moon, and the zodiac constellations, along with Christian apostles appearing every hour.

It's basically the wheel within the wheel! Important thread! (1/8)🧵

The clock includes moral and eschatological figures, like:

- Death (a skeleton ringing a bell)

- Vanity (a man admiring himself in a mirror)

- Greed (a moneylender with a bag)

These are the reminders of the Christian teachings about the passage of time, mortality, and the judgment of the soul. (2/8)🧵

The clock basically works like a wheel within a wheel, showing the passage of time and the changing of the zodiac signs as each month passes.

This is a powerful symbolism that directly connects to Ezekiel’s vision—the wheel within a wheel beside each of the four living creatures.

Ezekiel 1:15–16
"As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. The appearance and structure of the wheels was like a gleaming beryl, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel." (3/8)🧵

🧵THREAD: How Samantha Power gave USGLC power over USAID

(Thanks to @J_P1776 for the breadcrumb)

In 2022, USAID Administrator Samantha Power resurrected an old, mostly-forgotten advisory board, ACVFA (Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid) and gave it a new mission:

Bring America's top NGOs, business leaders, and global development experts directly into USAID's decision making.

In order to do so, she tapped her peers from the US Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC).

ACVFA pre-dates USAID, but did not have the influence it has now.

Until Power came on stage, ACVFA had met infrequently, their last meeting having been in 2019, and before that, 2017.

But Power's re-imagined ACVFA was to evolve it "to be not just an advisor to USAID, but a bridge linking the institution of USAID to nongovernmental organizations, to the private sector, to religious leaders, to civil society."

The board established in 2022 was praised as the "most diverse in the history of ACVFA" and its vision was to establish tighter partnerships - AKA bringing NGOs into the decision-making process.

🚨Criminal complaint unsealed in case of Wisconsin judge helping illegal. It is just jaw-dropping that a judge would do this to help this character!

Do you know why Shani Dev is called Shanaishchara? This story of Pippalad Rishi and Shani Dev will give you insight.

Read this thread 🧵 till the end:

During the funeral rites of Sage Dadhichi, his wife, unable to bear the loss of her husband, sat on the pyre in mourning, placing their 3-year-old child in a nearby giant banyan tree's hollow. In this manner, Sage Dadhichi and his wife were sacrified. But, the child left in the banyan tree began to cry from hunger and thirst. He would fall into the tree's hollow and eat the banyan fruits.

As time passed, by eating the leaves and fruits of the banyan tree, the child's life was safely sustained.

One day, when Sage Narada was passing by, he noticed the child in the banyan tree and asked about him -

Narada - "Child, who are you?"
Boy - "I do not know."
Narada - "Who is your father?"
Boy - "I want to know that."

The CBC and other so-called mainstream news manipulate Canadians every day

They are partisan but unlike me, they disguise their partisan label to appear neutral. It's dishonest and dirty

I'll give you some hypothetical examples to show you how they do it 🧵:

In the first hypothetical, Pierre Poilievre makes a campaign stop at an ice cream shop. He is asked by the owner of the store to go behind the counter and make an ice cream cone for a customer in front of the cameras.

Pierre makes the cone then hosts a press conference where he takes questions about Canada's dairy industry. He takes 4 questions, 1 from local radio, 1 from a right-leaning outlet, 1 from Radio-Canada and 1 from a French newspaper (the location of the store doesn't matter).
