Memorial Day Weekend: Bless the Fallen | QPOL Issue #50
A SUM Report weekend Recap, and An Alternative Perspective
Today is a reminder that America has never fought a just war (other than against the Brits) and hundreds of thousands of men and woman were lied to by their government to be slaughtered like cattle for selfish, statist, imperial escapades.
This point of view may come as a shock to some, but I can’t help but criticize those who are blind to this idea, or that they take for granted it’s just another day off work. For the latter, I don’t blame them.
However, there truly has not been any just wars The United States has fought in my humble opinion, other than the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Both were fought against the forces the founding fathers fought so hard to divorce themselves from.
Wars Down Memory Lane
I’m not the biggest history buff, but lest we forget, was War of 1812 not the same shit? Loyalists fighting against aspiring independent Americans and vice versa?
It’s our rivals from the old country who have been the culprits (obviously I’m referring to the British government, not the people). It’s merely an extension of the British Empire disguised in different outfits of both by personnel and policy, be it Sykes Picot or Bretton Woods (more on this later, but perhaps deserves a more in-depth and dedicated article).
On the flip side, those same forces are what pulled America into both world wars, or at the very least wars that weren’t in the interest of the people, or the NATIONAL interest. World War II was just an extension of World War I, and the latter would have ended at a stale mate had it not been for globalist financial interests to make good on their loans and dragged US forces into the mix. The Creature From Jekyll Island gives a good overview on this for those interested.
Civil Revisionism
The Civil War as another example, was ultimately a tariff war the Union-lead North waged against the Confederate South. It was about money and extorting Americans of their hard-earned fruits of their labor.
The argument to “maintain the Union” was exactly financial (it’s not the Slavery argument. Lincoln in fact has anted to send blacks back to Africa). The attack on Fort Sumter was ordered by Lincoln illegally to force the fort to fork over Southern tax revenue to the North. At the time, roughly 80% of US tax income came from the South. Like all wars, the financials are one of the main culprits.
Don’t take my word for it. Ryan Dawson of ANC Report has done extensive work on the Civil War. I highly recommend taking a look.
Who’s Really to Blame?
Unfortunately, many like to take the antisemitism approach and blame a specific group for all this mess. Matt Erhett and Richard Poe have argued the opposite. The truth of the matter is that Zionism is a concoction created by British Oligarchs in the 1860’s as an excuse for continued expansion, in this case in the Middle East. It’s the hubris of the Makinder Heartland Theory. Always has been.
The Russian Civil War
As Richard Poe put it in his piece How the British Invented Communism (And Blamed It on the Jews):
“In the Russian Civil War of 1917-1923, the Bolsheviks were outnumbered and surrounded, but anti-Communist forces were betrayed by the British.”
Yes, the Bolshevik Revolution was an inside job. The Bolsheviks were a faction created by the Brits with the ideals of communism to penetrate and destroy Russia from the inside out. Communism was created by the culture distorters of the West and was weaponized against Russia before the Soviet Union was even created. You might not be a commie, but your government certainly is. The Rivalry Between Russia and the Anglo Saxons is centuries old. At risk of beating the dead horse, it’s still the Makinder Heartland Theory at play.
Who Controls the Money?
Yesterday (Saturday the 28th) I joined Tone Vays’s Twitter Spaces panel for his Financial Summit. I’ve met Tone and admire his work and appreciate his takes. He’s one of the few voices in Bitcoin that understands and appreciates Martin Armstrong’s view on the importance of capital flight and I’m grateful he allowed me the time. I probably bantered back and forth with him for an hour in front of 200 audience members tops.
I brought up the importance of SOFR and that the regional banks are actually healthier than most people think. I explained how deals can be made in the market between institutions since PE doesn’t dominate them markets anymore. Both SOFR and the ability these deals can be made are all possible because Powell has undone the original sin being the Bernanke Doctrine: ZIRP.
Surprisingly (though maybe not so surprising), Tone doesn’t think any of this matters…
Really? A robust banking system doesn’t matter? That PE doesn’t dominate the private market space anymore and institutions like pensions now have the opportunity to buy distressed assets from banks doesn’t matter one bit?
The US switching from the British/globalist ball and chain that was LIBOR over to SOFR and making free eurodollars no longer free doesn’t matter at all?
You know what that means, right? It means the US Fed lead by Powell now controls the price of those offshore dollars thanks to SOFR. Now, the leveraged loans chaos which were created offshore and flooded the US under ZIRP policy which caused the Great Financial Crisis of 2008 can’t happen. Foreign finance can’t be weaponized against Americans.
None of these points should be considered or taken into consideration when managing your or your client’s portfolio?!?
I might not be a trader and relatively new to understanding macro, markets, and geopolitics, but people are either arrogant, or just blinded by the minutia in their own field of work. Many in the financial space haven’t actually seen what the “real world” looks like, but who am I to judge? I’m just a lonely loser who likes to write about shit he learns from other people on the internet…

Yes, This Time Is Actually Different
As cliche as it sounds, this time is actually different. The US plutocrats (as Luongo likes to call them), lead by Powell, Dimon, and the major NY banks now control the global cost of money. Their foreign counterparts (especially the Brits since it was the City of London where the LIBOR rate was determined), are screeching and crying in their beer about higher rates, and arguably the switch away from LIBOR.
Think about it. The X date for the debt ceiling, the coronation of King Charles, the beginning of the presidential campaign in June, the Durham Report, LIBOR vs SOFR. It’s all clear evidence that the war between the US Patriots (Team Fed) and the Crown (along with Davos as a reluctant partner) is playing out right before our eyes.
As I’ve said countless times, this war could manifest into World War III, dragging the US to fight the war against the Global South. That’s ultimately what the debt ceiling fight is: more spending for war and giving the ECB another fighting chance of survival. Best anti Todd for Davos is to force the US to deficit spend itself into oblivion via war.
However as I laid out numerous times to Tone, the financial war going on in the background may not be enough to prevent kinetic war. Contrary to the War Davos wants with the Global South, Dimon is making a trip to China this coming week to negotiate with President Xi real economic cooperation.
Here’s the archived link: https://archive.ph/2023.05.26-161958/https://www.ft.com/content/5a64ddc1-6e1a-4875-90c8-765b70738daa
Team Fed is basically negotiating with the Global South the prevent WWIII, when Davos wants the war. It says a lot that they were able to drag Kissinger into this. He probably is for negotiating because the Davos meeting last winter he called Soros out saying the Ukraine War is leading to disaster and we should cool it.
However, the financial war will have to yield to the political war on Capital Hill as Matt Gaetz and the fiscal conservatives fight for a reasonable deal to raise the debt ceiling with real budget cuts and hold the Uniparty lead by the Biden administration and Speaker McCarthy’s feet to the fire. The Durham report may be the manilla folder of blackmail they need, or perhaps something from Epstein’s little black book.
Of course this is all speculation, but that’s all as us mere mortals can do at this point. I’ll leave you with another cliche for this Memorial Day weekend, Bless The Fallen. Bless the brave men and women who were sold lies by their government to sacrifice themselves for the selfish needs of their leaders. And bless the fallen working man for suffering through centuries monetary corruption that has starved them of their savings and empty promises of their rulers.
It may be soon to tell, but I have a hunch America gaining back it’s monetary independence from the Crown and globalists is step 1 to right the many wrongs of this great country.
