Amidst growing protests in Minneapolis against the presence of "Trump's enforcers," more mayhem as ICE agents kill a SECOND local liberal disrupting their hunt for illegals. Are Americans losing their appetite for 'mass deportations'? Or will they 'follow the penguin to the mountains', as DHS seemed to suggest? Meanwhile, US support for extreme forms of 'disruption' in Iran has resulted in 3,100 deaths there in support of a manufactured 'revolution', but no American 'savior' airstrikes as yet.

Also this week, Canadian PM Mark Carney's speech heralding the end of American hegemony stole the show at the World Economic Forum in Davos, and undermined Trump's attempt to platform his son-in-law's 'master vision' for turning Gaza into a 'world-class beach resort'. 'Daddy' Trump was apparently placated, however, when NATO Sec.-Gen. Mark Rutte got him to back down from annexing Greenland by promising him more bases and mineral rights on the Danish territory.

'Has the 'American System' Been Revived at Davos... or is a Keynesian Trojan Horse Being Rolled out?' by Matthew Ehret Jan 24, 2026 [Link]
.

Ehret lets us know that true revival is not happening at Davos; any apparent embrace of the American System there is tainted and likely co-opted. Real hope lies outside, e.g., in multipolar initiatives like the Belt and Road, which he sees as carrying forward FDR's anti-colonial vision. He smacks down any pro-Keynes viewpoint...

TBoris · 2026-02-01T04:51:19Z

parzival Related: 'Technocracy Coming, Global Rhodesian Reset or Patriot Revival?' [Link]
To me Ehret does a great job exposing that the US/Trump administration is still infiltrated by the British and continuing Imperialism. He also exposes the origins of Technocracy including Musk's family back in South Africa being a model of the Technocracy unfolding world wide.

Unfortunately, I don't see any "real hope" in multipolar initiatives (including today's Belt and Road) since China's implementation of technocracy is similar to the United States(wanted by Musk). In other words, the oligarchs in China(National People's Congress) share similar goals of centralized control over their populations, including depopulation and eugenics. Russia also has Oligarchs, and even though their influence is more muted (due to Putin's statesmanship) they are there and so is technocracy (for centralized control).

parzival · 2026-02-01T05:12:02Z

TBoris Agreed. Matthew Ehret is definitely bullish on the 'American System' and LaRouche type scientism.

parzival · 2026-02-01T05:23:36Z

Matt doesn't believe that Trump is doing the American System. Do you?

parzival · 2026-02-01T14:24:54Z

TBoris He seems to hoping he (Trump) will...

parzival · 2026-02-01T14:38:14Z

TBoris Matthew idealizes the American System (Hamilton, Clay, Lincoln, FDR) as uniformly anti-imperial and pro-sovereign, while demonizing Keynes as purely evil (eugenicist, Malthusian, imperial agent). He downplays complexities (e.g., FDR pragmatically used Keynesian tools during the Depression; Hamilton's policies involved compromises with finance; Bretton Woods was a mixed outcome). This binary framing serves his worldview but risks oversimplification or omission of counter-evidence.

His piece (with link above) aligns strongly with LaRouche-inspired ideas (anti-Keynes, anti-British Empire, pro-multipolarism, pro-state-directed credit/economics). Matthew promotes his own narrative (e.g., praising China's Belt and Road as the true heir to FDR) and references his book on "hyperinflation fascism and war." This could be seen as using the article to advance a geopolitical/ideological position under the guise of historical analysis—inviting readers to reject Davos/globalism while embracing a specific alternative (multipolar sovereignty) without fully addressing its own risks or criticisms.

TBoris · 2026-02-02T02:23:54Z

My read is that he doesn't think Trump is doing that. Hope does not loom large here (IMO)!

TBoris More on the American System & Tom Luongo's take: [Link]

TBoris · 2026-02-02T03:22:58Z

parzival

Matthew idealizes the American System

I tend to think that the American System is better than the imperial colonial system regardless of central planning "over reaches" by the FDR government interventions (new deals/central planning). At the end of the day, FDR was supporting the general welfare of the people, not the welfare of the financiers that profited off the stock market speculation. And as usual, this was supported by the bankers (who withheld liquidity on purpose) that caused the great depression and bank runs in the first place. A lot of the reforms by FDR were in banking like Glass-Steagall and the securities and exchange (SEC).

Technocracy is also central planning only in private hands where the central planners (oligarchs/international corporations and their intellectual ownership scientists + the bankers as always) tell the governments(worldwide) what to do.

To me LaRouche is a decoy and unrelated to the central subject which is the influence of the tower of London/MI6/house of lords/Bank of England(turned into the BIS) influence in the government of the United States(and most governments worldwide through the Basel Accords). The propaganda makes it look like it is a dying entity in the EU(the imperial colonial British). It is not; and Matt sees the transformation from Imperial navy to technocracy with programmable money and credit scores.

From an economic perspective, it is bankers creating the money supply at interest holding power over governments(since 1694) and increasingly individuals(with technocracy data centers); As Dane Wigington says: "All roads lead to those who print the money"...

TBoris · 2026-02-02T03:32:10Z

parzival Yes codis pointed to Tom Luongo's take before. To me Tom sees the "American System" (with the British cut out of it) not the fake "American System" that Trump is supporting where the CIA/MI6 are not going anywhere anytime soon...

TBoris · 2026-02-02T13:25:45Z

parzival "...For anyone who thinks that Trump is globalist I say see your therapist and get back on your SSRI's."

From the moment the Constitution was signed, the United States became the fountainhead of globalism. Merchants combined forces with the bankers (then the First Bank of the United States) to control world trade. Both the northern factories and the southern plantations exported. It was an "American System" of globalism. Back then, and true still today (perhaps more so than anytime in accepted history narratives) are the lacking of workers economic rights. What good is it to the German people if BASF

TBoris · 2026-02-02T13:37:35Z

TBoris ~~parzival~~ moves its operations to China? It is no good for labor in Germany, but it does benefit the major share holders of BASF with cheaper labor and production costs in China.

Trump says he is bringing manufacturing jobs and work back to America but he is not(unless it is lower price than labor in China). And that lower labor can be found in the private prison system, "freedom cities", and in lack of bargaining power of workers/labor due to consolidation of monopolies of international oligarchy(especially in the private equity industry of Ponzi schemes that destroy wealth).

So yes Tom can be a supporter of the "American System" but terms matter. And the American System that Tom supports is the one that Ben Franklin was worried about when he said: "A republic, if you can keep it,".

So no I don't want that "American System" since we already have it and it stinks...

parzival · 2026-02-03T03:07:45Z

TBoris You won't get any argument from me on that conclusion...

TBoris · 2026-02-03T12:48:26Z

parzival :). If only Trump could hear Andrew Jackson's voice and not fear the "golden pagers": ...

You are a den of vipers. I intend to rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning. - Andrew Jackson

How about re-hiring all the SEC regulators (that his administration laid off) or putting Glass Stegal back into effect so banks can't invest in the stock market? Or rescinding FASB56 where the NY FED can print money and not have to report it?

It would be a good start if Trump was serious about controlling the NY Fed. Instead, he complains about Powel and interest rates; which doesn't help the american people. Why? Because they can't get loans because their ~~social~~ credit scores are not high enough. But it does help speculators and hedge fund managers etc. And most importantly the modern carpet baggers/private equity firms/plunders waiting for the US economy to crash harder than 1929...

TBoris The Difference Between William McKinley’s American System School of Protective Tariffs and Today Parts 1-3 Cynthia Chung [Link] [Link] [Link]

Buffalo_Ken · 2026-02-04T01:36:20Z

parzival - Gracious me P - who has time to read all of that? Not I.

How the hell do you all read all this stuff - or do you literally read the post you proffer?

I don't know about you - but there have been some serious storms where I reside lately - and that demands response - I ain't got time to read all this high-flutin discourse - can you distill it down please.

parzival · 2026-02-04T02:27:39Z

Buffalo_Ken I get it Ken. Luckily for me I have plenty of time to read and research. I'm also a speed reader. Yes, Ken, I read what I post about. ( I ought to charge you for the following posting )

.

Cynthia Chung compares William McKinley's version of the "American System" (a historical U.S. economic approach from the 1800s) to today's tariff policies under Trump. She argues that McKinley's system was smart, targeted protectionism that helped build American industry, while modern tariffs are often misguided and could hurt the country instead.

Part 1: McKinley (U.S. President 1897–1901) was a big fan of protective tariffs, taxes on imported goods to make American-made stuff cheaper and more competitive. He saw this as part of the "American System" (started by people like Alexander Hamilton and Henry Clay), which focused on building factories, roads, banks, and jobs at home. This system fought against Britain's "free trade" idea, which Chung says kept other countries poor by forcing them to sell cheap raw materials (like cotton) and buy expensive British finished goods. Free trade made Britain rich and kept America as a weak supplier. McKinley used tariffs to protect U.S. industries and raise workers' pay. The article warns that modern politicians sometimes talk about tariffs but don't understand the difference, some tariffs protect jobs, others just make things more expensive for everyone.

Part 2: The Civil War (1861–1865) was partly about economics: the North wanted protective tariffs and industry (American System), while the South wanted free trade to sell cotton cheaply to Britain (British System). Lincoln (advised by economist Henry C. Carey) passed high tariffs to protect factories and raise wages, helping end slavery by making cheap labor less profitable. Britain supported the South because free trade benefited them. Chung says forgetting this history lets modern leaders mix up good protectionism with bad policies that hurt workers.

Part 3: McKinley was the last leader who really understood the American System. His tariffs (like the McKinley Tariff of 1890) protected competing industries (steel, tinplate) to create jobs and higher pay, but didn't tax essentials America couldn't make (like coffee). He believed "under free trade the trader is the master and the producer the slave." Today's tariffs (e.g., Trump's 25–50% on aluminum from Canada) are different, they tax things America needs to import, raising costs for U.S. factories and consumers. Chung says this isn't true protectionism; it's more like free trade in disguise because it hurts domestic production.

These articles say there's a big difference between smart protectionism (McKinley's way) and dumb protectionism (what's happening now). McKinley used tariffs like a shield to build strong American factories, good jobs, and independence from Britain. He protected industries that could grow here and didn't tax things we needed from abroad.

Today's tariffs are often the opposite, they tax imports we rely on (like aluminum for cars and planes), making everything more expensive for Americans and hurting our own companies. Chung warns that if we don't learn from McKinley (and Lincoln), we'll end up weaker, poorer, and more dependent on other countries, just like Britain wanted in the 1800s.

In plain terms, you'll understand the following example given all the work you're doing around your properties:

Imagine building a house. McKinley's tariffs were like putting up strong walls around your own lumber yard to grow your own wood and hire local builders. Today's tariffs are like taxing the nails and hammers you have to buy from the neighbor, your house gets more expensive to build, and your builders quit because costs are too high. The lesson? Not all "protecting America" plans actually protect America. We need the old, smart version, targeted help for industries that can succeed here, or we risk losing jobs and strength, just like the old warnings said.

It's a call to look at history carefully: tariffs can build a country or break it, depending on how you use them. Chung wants leaders to copy McKinley, not just talk about him.

Cynthia is a fine history presenter - so I reckon I ought give her respect - and she and her husband produce some historical context of value - but before I ask you what is the chance of three die being rolled 4-5-6 (about 1.5% chance on that), let me say - what is the value of pepper sauce?

Buffalo_Ken The value of your peppa' sauce? At lease 7-$10 bucks a bottle. Some great stuff Ken!

.

What I know about dice: Each die has 6 faces, and the dice are independent.

Total outcomes = 6 × 6 × 6 = 216

We want 4, 5, and 6, each number exactly once (no repeats, no other numbers).

There are 6 favorable outcomes:

4-5-6

4-6-5

5-4-6

5-6-4

6-4-5

6-5-4

6 / 216

6 ÷ 6 = 1

216 ÷ 6 = 36

1/36Decimal: about 0.0278 or 2.78%

The dice don't care what the numbers are, just that they're all different!

I believe I read that he was assassinated in Buffalo sometime/somewhere, but Cynthia Chung's articles don't point out that he was killed there.

Buffalo, go figure.

I've been Seahawks all the way. This may be their year!

Buffalo_Ken · 2026-02-04T03:08:58Z

parzival - ok - so lets consider 4-4-5.

4-4-5

4-5-4

5-4-4

~

that is only 3 - three I say!

3 chances of that - giving 3/216 = 1.39% chance - so if there is duplicate number with 3 die rolled the chance decrease for any given set of numbers - but how many duplicate numbers are there in the realm of possibilities when 3 die are rolled?

~

If there are no duplicates and the numbers are all different - you have presented the possibilities above - 2.78% chance when the dies are all different - so how many instances of that are there - well let me tell:

~

1 2 3

1 2 4

1 2 5

1 2 6

2 3 4

2 3 5

2 3 6

3 4 5

3 4 6

4 5 6

~

I think that captures it - tell me if I missed anything. Multiply each of those by 2.78% and that gives about a 27.8% chance when three die are rolled each has an individual number. Now when duplicates get added to the equation there are many possibilities in that regard assuming you realize there are three die.

For example:

2 2 1

2 1 2

1 2 2

~

that is just two numbers and each has a 1/216 percent chance of occurring - and there are three possibilities of it - or roughly 1.39% chance for those number - oh funny that half of 2.78%. It is simple math and the number add up - but probabilities of this or that happening are typically not so easy to calculate like rolls of die.

I ain't rooting for either team - I could give a crap about the NFL P - tis rigged - K-ball and all - tis entertainment that I find worthless.

Buffalo_Ken Since Paul Allen died and he didn't choose just one inheritor, the bunch that have inherited the Seahawks have to sell the Team, as listed in the will and all. They're asking price $10 to $15 Billion. Think we should crowd fund the sh!t out of the internet and buy the team?? We'd make you GM, no more rigged refs on our watch.

parzival · 2026-02-04T04:12:39Z

Buffalo_Ken Hey Ken, great dive-in, love the step-by-step!

Quick fix on the duplicate part:

For any specific pattern (like 4-4-5 or 4-5-6), the probability is always 1/36:4-5-6 (all different): 6 ways → 6/216 = 1/36 (~2.78%)

4-4-5 (two same): 3 ways → 3/216 = 1/36 (~1.39%)4-4-4 (all same): 1 way → 1/216 = ~0.46% (different category)

Duplicates don't "decrease" the chance, they just have fewer arrangements, so each specific duplicate pattern has half the probability of an all-different one. But it's still 1/36 for that pattern type.

Simple math keeps it consistent across the board.

Thoughts?

Three words about Andrew Jackson... 'Trail of Tears.' He like Washington & Monroe, were Freemason presidents. Personally, I'm not too thrilled by Freemasonry. BTW, you can review my summary of the three substack articles I posted for your pleasure. The summary doesn't do the series much justice. It's a summary after all.

Jackson: "I Killed The Bank [Second Bank of the United States]". The 'Trail of Tears' isn't good I agree, however, it belies something important to this discussion involving trade that Cynthia Chung's articles are amiss. And that is the subject of usury.

This paragraph especially is problematic(IMO) in part 1:

To be clear here, of course one wants to pay off their debt, and a nation that owes little debt or none is best. However, there were two outlooks to this, one was the use of debt as productive credit. What this essentially comes down to is that if you borrow money to invest in projects, namely industry, that will in time create a much higher return then the loan you required, this is considered productive credit. However, if a nation is borrowing without much thought into investments that will give a higher return, such as in crucial industries, and prioritises the payment of said debt, it creates a sinking ship.

Controlling the money supply (by the bankers) was the root cause of the American Revolution and the Civil War(again see: 'All Wars are Bankers' Wars' [Link] ).

So getting back to the subject of trade, I don't think the American System following the constitution is any different today than it was back then. In other words, Hamilton worked for the bankers. It is a long film, but if you have time,

I would recommend watching 'The Money Masters - Full Length' [Link]

Buffalo_Ken - oh gracious I should add:

If you consider each die an individual one - then yes indeed for any 3 numbers with 3 die rolled (regardless of duplicates or not - or even triples) there is a 2.78% chance the die will show up with those 3. So - here we go:

~

2 2 1

2 1 2

1 2 2

~

1 2' 2' (switching the two 2's)

2' 1 2' (switching again)

2' 2' 1 (another "switch)

~

I reckon that is what you meant - but from my perspective the topic of interest was - what is the probability of getting a 2-2-1 dice combination.....well hells-bells must be 2.78%. So what is 100/2.78 = ~36 I think - so there must be 36 combinations.....I'm starting to figure this out.

Thanks!

Buffalo_Ken - I'm gonna have to contemplate this some more!

Cause I still think the odds of rolling a lets say 3 3 3 - is only 1 in 216!

I know a simple way to figure this out.

I think I'm gonna do it....

Let me go find my dice!

Buffalo_Ken - one last post on this....

* Bonus Question - if you rolled 3 die 216 times what is the normal distribution curve indicating the likelihood of rolling a 3 3 3? Or to make it more concrete what are the chances of rolling three 3 3 3 results with 3 die rolled 216 times?

~

Statistically speaking - I think that can be calculated precisely. Let me ask the ai:

~

HA - ai either got it wrong or didn't understand my question - but it does provide information on the normal distribution curve in this instance - question below in bold followed by the answer:

what are the chances of rolling three 3 3 3 results with 3 die rolled 216 times?

Rolling three 3s (3-3-3) with three dice has a probability of 1 in 216 on a single roll, since there are $6^3 = 216$ total possible outcomes and only one of them is (3,3,3). If you roll three dice 216 times, the expected number of times you’d roll three 3s is:216×2161=1So, on average, you would expect to roll three 3s exactly once over 216 rolls. The probability of rolling at least one (3,3,3) in 216 rolls is:1−(216215)216≈1−e−1≈0.632Thus, there is approximately a 63.2% chance of rolling three 3s at least once in 216 rolls.

OK - I asked the ai again with a better written question - here is the answer:

(sorry about the formatting)

Probability of Rolling Three 3s (3-3-3) Exactly Three Times in 216 Rolls When rolling three six-sided dice, the probability of getting a specific combination like 3-3-3 on a single roll is:There are $6^3 = 216$ possible outcomes.Only one of these is 3-3-3.So, the probability of rolling 3-3-3 on a single roll is $ frac{1}{216} $. Now, you're rolling the three dice 216 times, and you want to know the probability that the result 3-3-3 appears exactly three times across those 216 rolls. This is a binomial probability problem:Number of trials: $ n = 216 $Probability of success (rolling 3-3-3) on a single trial: $ p = frac{1}{216} $Number of successes desired: $ k = 3 $ The binomial probability formula is:P(k)=(kn)pk(1−p)n−kPlugging in the values:P(3)=(3216)(2161)3(1−2161)213Using approximations:$ binom{216}{3} approx 1,687,440 $$ left(frac{1}{216}right)^3 approx 1.004 times 10^{-7} $$ left(frac{215}{216}right)^{213} approx e^{-213/216} approx e^{-0.986} approx 0.373 $Multiply:P(3)≈1,687,440×1.004×10−7×0.373≈0.063The probability is approximately 6.3%.So, there is about a 6.3% chance that the combination 3-3-3 will appear exactly three times in 216 rolls of three six-sided dice.

~

Here was the question:

what are the chances of rolling three 3 3 3 results with 3 die rolled 216 times? In other words 216 rolls of 3 six-sided die - what is the chance that the 3 3 3 result happens 3 times?

I find it interesting (ironic?) that the chances are basically 10 times less versus 1 time! What are the chances of that - it MUST not be a coincidence - I think I can prove this.

parzival All I could think about seeing the funeral services is the bombing of Dresden at the end of world war II:

In four raids between 13 and 15 February 1945, 772 heavy bombers of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and 527 of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the city.

Until these inhuman people are removed from power, there will be no answers to 'Let it Be"...And people like that don't 'let it be' at funeral services either: 'How Mossad Hid an Assassination Team Inside a Funeral Procession to Kill a Hezbollah Commander' [Link]

Q: (Ennio) I have a question that's sort of connected to this. In regards to AI video. So, aside from the blurring of reality that many people are kind of recognizing in the dissemination of AI video, is there anything inherently negative or harmful in watching video that has been produced by AI?

A: AI videos are like black holes.

parzival Promethean Action on 'The American System: [Link]

Very obvious PSYOP in my opinion...At around 8 minutes in prometheanaction starts its pitch that the Trump administration is revitalizing the "American System" by investing in technology. And then there is a bunch of partisan divide and rule moments shown in congress.

Unfortunately, the Trump administration's "investment" is not in helping raise American's general welfare (improving the economy for workers and main street businesses) but instead in the A.I. Surveillance and control systems to implement GAZA in the USA...

What are your thoughts on that?
