The Weaponized Economy

There’s a new method of warfare.

For the past four years we’ve had a president who understands that the future stability of global power AND democracy will be determined by those who can exercise economic pressure and release.

This is why our executive branch has been reducing our involvement in foreign military entanglements.

This is why our “intelligence” agencies have been attempting to undermine the executive branch.

The old methods of conventional warfare and clandestine meddling in foreign politics and governance are declining in effectiveness and in most cases have become counterproductive. Yet the establishment is clinging to that dying vine in absolute desperation.

Look at what the American executive branch has done over the last four years through restoring our economy. Trump used that economic strength to pressure countries like China and Iran into less aggression and more fair and competitive trade.

It was the new economic “big stick” that the Trump administration fashioned which allowed him to walk softly into the middle east tinderbox and broker historic peace deals.

What used to work doesn’t work anymore.

Yet the military industrial establishment relies on those old methods for their lifeblood. So they firmly oppose the illumination and dismantling of the old conventional and clandestine systems and have even used them against the American people in a brazen attempt to prevent Trump’s re-election.

A vibrant, growing, stable economy is now the most powerful weapon on the planet.

Opponents of liberty and democracy are pulling out all the stops to destroy that weapon.
