    Dark Age to Golden Age: Trump’s Team Disarms the Lords of Money



    Promethean Updates
    August 30, 2026

    Summary:
    00:00 The Saturday Wrap-Up - Dark Age to Golden Age: Trump’s Team Disarms the Lords of Money - August 29, 2026
    02:10 The Crystal Ball Shatters
    05:45 Bessent Reveals Dirty Secrets
    09:55 The Dark Age Ends in Houston

    Susan Kokinda frames a “larger war” behind a headline-filled week, focusing on three events: new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s “Operation Economic Outcast,” and President Trump’s Johnson Space Center remarks.

    She argues Warsh blamed 65 months of elevated inflation on the Fed and signaled an end to “forward guidance,” which she says benefits financial “high flyers” while harming Americans without financial assets.

    She highlights Bessent’s warning that immediately sanctioning Iran-linked money laundering could “blow up the global financial system,” portraying that system as dependent on illicit flows and oil control, and notes Treasury targets include entities in Hong Kong.

    She also cites Trump’s announcement of a major Venezuela oil deal and his directive creating a United States Space Academy, presented as rejecting a “Dark Age” of limits to growth and advancing exploration and freedom.

    Not sure where to place this short video, but since Trump is clamping down on criticism of Israel, perhaps this thread is a good spot for it.

    It's about some Israelis in New York City posing as Palestinians trying to incite violence against a Jewish booth. When someone identified them as IDF soldiers, they were caught afterward changing their clothes.

    SOROS’s EMPIRE Faces Its FINAL BLOW!!!

    The IRS's actions stem from an executive order signed by President Trump in 2025, targeting nonprofits with substantial illegal purposes. This initiative aims to dismantle organizations that masquerade as philanthropic while allegedly engaging in radical activities, highlighting a systematic effort to undermine the nonprofit-industrial complex that has supported the political left for decades.

    Scott Bessent, quote " (0:00 minutes) At Trump's direction. Treasury is expanding its efforts to identify organizations that abuse charitable and nonprofit structures as vehicles for illicit finance.

    We are examining where tax exempt status has been exploited, where charitable entities have become financial conduits for foreign influence activity, and how those entrusted with stewardship of these organizations have instead enabled violence.

    Where the evidence leads, we will not hesitate to follow. And of course, we will hold these organizations, officers, directors accountable. And just as financial institution must know their clients, they must know their grantees. That work is well underway.

    Doug Ford, Premier of the province of Ontario, said he received numerous calls from USA governors who said they'll always call it "Lake Ontario". As will the rest of the world.

    (I just checked google maps for Lake Ontario area. Google still names it "Lake Ontario". Same for the Gulf of Mexico, however google added "(Gulf of America)", yes, in brackets, below the Gulf of Mexico label. Let's hope that this will pacify the toddler in charge.)

    Canada-U.S. tensions rise after Premier Ford unveils new Lake Ontario sign

    Trump Declares War on the Foundations Cartel: Bessent's Plan to End the Dark Money Empire



    Promethean Overviews
    August 31, 2026

    In this overview, Mike examines Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s effort to follow the money behind tax-exempt organizations, political campaigns, extremist activity, and what he describes as the financial architecture of the deep state.

    From Arabella Advisors and the Sixteen Thirty Fund to the Tides Foundation, Open Society Foundations, CAIR, and the Southern Poverty Law Center, Mike explains how donations can move through interconnected charities and political organizations without revealing the original donors. These networks, he argues, allow billionaire-backed operations to influence elections, protests, political movements, and American culture while retaining their tax-exempt status.

    Mike then examines the Trump administration’s response, including Treasury’s Form 990 Transparency Initiative, investigations into nonprofit financial networks, and efforts to hold tax-exempt organizations accountable for where their money goes. He also considers how Bessent’s campaign against Iran’s financial infrastructure offers a model for dismantling domestic networks accused of financing political violence.

    But this system did not begin with a recent election. Mike traces its legal foundation to 1913, when the Rockefeller Foundation received a permanent charter and the Revenue Act created broad tax exemptions for charitable, religious, scientific, and educational organizations.

    From the creation of the Federal Reserve and the financial boom of the 1920s to Congressman Wright Patman’s investigation of hundreds of foundations in the 1960s, Mike examines how tax-exempt institutions accumulated enormous financial, corporate, media, and political power while remaining largely insulated from public accountability.

    At its core, this is a fight between two opposing systems: a sovereign nation built around citizens made in the image of God and a globalized order governed by permanent, anonymous legal entities. Mike argues that dismantling the foundations cartel is essential to restoring the American republic and placing human creativity, national development, and the individual soul above the perpetuation of financial institutions.

    Anybody here wonders why mainstream media doesn't report on the utter failure of Trump's "Board of Peace"? This 'board' has become a cover for the continued Israeli hi-tech massacres of Palestinians. Why? They need to stay quiet about the bigger scheme they're trying to put in place. Here's a brilliant interview about that broader perspective.
    ____________________________________________________________________________

    Simon Dixon’s recent interview for The Enlightenment Podcast, hosted by Shamim Sarif and Hanan Kattan, author of Palestine Revealed. Some of the key points:
    • “the world is ruled not by a single country, but by a systemic web of incentives controlled by three interlocking complexes—the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), Military Industrial Complex (MIC), and Technical Industrial Complex (TIC)—which privatise profits and socialise losses, turning war, debt, and inflation into a massive wealth transfer mechanism.”
    • “Palestine as a Tech Laboratory: My analysis of how military and surveillance technologies are beta-tested under occupation before allegedly being imported to the West to build a global control grid.”
    • “The Multipolar Shift: Why I believe the Western empire is in an asset-stripping phase, and how the rising power of China and Gulf sovereign wealth funds will reshape the global order and the eventual rebuild of Palestine.”
    • “A Strategy for Resistance: Why I believe voting won't save us, and why our real power lies in "choking the system" through how we spend, save, and invest, alongside digital resistance using decentralized tech, Bitcoin, and open-source AI.”
