Susan Kokinda analyzes President Trump’s May 14 post responding to Xi Jinping’s remarks about the “Thucydides Trap,” arguing media coverage framed the U.S. as declining while Trump asserted America’s renewed strength. She says the summit’s real significance was Trump bringing an unprecedented delegation of top U.S. CEOs into the bilateral meeting and including the Defense Secretary, breaking a post-1972 pattern.
Kokinda highlights Trump raising denuclearization directly with Xi and rejecting war-driven “geopolitical trigger points,” including on Taiwan, emphasizing avoiding a distant war. She contends the Thucydides Trap concept popularized by Graham Allison is British-influenced “fake history” that obscures imperial manipulation, and claims Trump is dismantling that paradigm by reviving the American System—tariffs, manufacturing, and energy independence.
When meeting with President Trump earlier this week in China, “President Xi very elegantly referred to the United States as perhaps being a declining nation, he was referring to the tremendous damage we suffered during the four years of Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, and on that score, he was 100% correct. Our Country suffered immeasurably with open borders, high taxes, transgender for everybody, men in women’s sports, DEI, horrible trade deals, rampant crime, and so much more!” President Trump explained.
“President Xi was not referring to the incredible rise that the United States has displayed to the world during the 16 spectacular months of the Trump Administration, which includes all-time high stock markets and 401K’s, military victory and thriving relationship in Venezuela, the military decimation of Iran (to be continued!) — Strongest military on earth by far, economic powerhouse again, with a record 18 trillion dollars being invested into the United States by others, best U.S. job market in history, with more people working in the United States right now than ever before, ending country destroying DEI, and so many other things that it would be impossible to readily list. In fact, President Xi congratulated me on so many tremendous successes in such a short period of time.
“Two years ago, we were, in fact, a Nation in decline. On that, I fully agree with President Xi! But now, the United States is the hottest Nation anywhere in the world, and hopefully our relationship with China will be stronger and better than ever before!”

… could be, could be, but we’ll not be in any position to celebrate here in Australia as we circle the S-Bend close behind. Have you noticed the typical Australian shopping mall is now emphatically demographically South Asian? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, we had our chance, now it’s time for some new blood to have a crack at it, maybe they’ll do a better job.
.
Meanwhile, Sister Anne Catherine Emerich foretold Europe being overrun once more by “the Turks”, which was a colloquial term for the Muslim world back in her day, and neither Russia nor America would be in a position to intervene or help them, let alone save them.
.
And after some lengthy period of time, a German King who walks with a limp will rise and unite Europe to lead a European army to drive “the Turks” out of Europe once again. All very Europe-centric, mind you, but then, Sister Emerich WAS a German Nun.
.
And after all of that, and ONLY after all of that has transpired, will the Antichrist rise to power. The Antichrist, a real Human, a man, born in Antioch, Turkey. Matter of fact, he could already be born and playing fullback for The Crescent Stars right now.
.
So if over the coming years the crazies now controlling Europe manage to get their war with Russia, and end up being destroyed and then overrun by “the Turks”, then we’ll have a better understanding of where we might be in the eschatological timeline.

Interestingly, none of Martin Armstrong’s economic forecasting with inferences of wars and revolutions conflicts with those scenarios. But he does see the USA fracturing and disintegrating in the near term, much like the Soviet Union, albeit with the potential for much more misery and violence.
.
And in over 40 years of forecasting, Mr. Armstrong and his AI program Socrates has never been wrong, not even once. Which is why they threw him uncharged and unconvicted into prison for seven years and even tried to kill him, all to get their hands on Socrates.
‘I give them less than ten years.’
.
What always make me laugh is that even though people are absolutely convinced that America will not exist in less than ten years, these same people always refuse to back their ‘insider knowledge’ with real money?
.
If people are so sure of their conviction, why do they refuse to take out a million dollar loan and bet against the U.S. Dollar?
.
What’s so hard to get?

The new age is the Space-Age, both outer-space and its underlying infrastructure of cyber-space. The two leaders recognise this.
.
Presidents Trump and Jinping also understand that the big prize of space cannot be achieved by one super-power. They have to collaborate on many levels, especially the energy and economic spheres.
.
Despite his current legal dispute, the timing of Elon’s forthcoming Spacex IPO is interesting to say the least? I’d be interested to know who Elon was linked up with in Beijing? I’d guess we’ve got some big Sino investments in the pipeline?
.
I can’t stop thinking about that Larry Fink and Peng Xiao interview from January last year. When discussing the new Industrial Revolution’s inevitable scaling up process, they mentioned that ‘no single company or government can do this alone.’ If the U.S. and China intend to collaborate as Xiao outlined, the scale and opportunities of the operation will be stratospheric to say the least. Very exciting times.
Hi Pat the Poms will be first to go, almost there now. Ed
We’re asked to believe Trump and his White Hats are going to defy the Book of Revelations while simultaneously installing the Mark of the BIS, they are bravely fighting Iran by killing their leadership again and again and blowing up their military but to no avail because they can’t control the Strait so they will have to send all the oil from Qatar and Kuwait in pipelines … to Israel I guess. I can’t get interested in waiting for White Hats or Mr Gallows Pole to show up when all I see is self-obsessed stoopids lining up for career advancement or a position somewhere in the pyramid, appropriate to their level of depraved ignorance.
We hear the Democrats are lining up “blue dogs” for the mid-terms to keep the Siege of Persia going indefinitely. If Trump has a good economy and a war going he may well get the 3rd term he wants, so they say. Look at the talent in the Australian Parliament, 90% are so stoopid they probably wouldn’t even make good fertilizer, they are good for nothing. The “good people” have their heads buried in the sand and they like it that way. Privately, they are waiting for “the flood” to clean it up.

Hey, it’s what I heard – kind of like all those “Insider Traders” seem to hear all the juicy gossip from Peace President Ginger Nut’s inner circle. Peace President Ginger Nuts, folks, the most corrupt American President in the entirety of its short history, the CEO of International Pirates & Gangster-R-Us Incorporated, how appropriate for the downfall of the Empire.

“THOUGHTCRIME” (Orwell’s “1984”)
:
“The mind should develop a blind spot whenever a dangerous thought presented itself. The process should be automatic, instinctive. Crimestop, they called it in Newspeak. … He set to work to exercise himself in crimestop.”
:
“He presented himself with propositions—’the [authorities] say the [virus] is [real]’, ‘the [authorities] say ‘[the Germans used extermination gas-chambers against millions and millions of Jews]’, the [authorities] say [the Sandy Hook “shooting” and the “assassination” attempts against Trump were real]—and trained himself in not seeing or not understanding the arguments that contradicted them.”
.
“Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity.”
Prof Joe , One of my ancestors was an English Naval Captain,he was ordered to pirate passing ships in the English Channel where the Capt and crew would take a commission and the majority goes to the Crown so he changed that to a little commission for himself and a more for his crew and less for the Crown .
Terry : Did you ever see one of the military look Chinese semi auto’s that could easily be converted to auto rifles, sold retail in Australia in the late 80’s for $350 ?
“where weapons of war become obsolete and the only weapons used would be for ceremonies as sent above”. Those weapons the honor guard are carrying are SKS rifles that have been spruced up with a bit of chrome. Those are the same obsolete SKS rifles that were sold into Australia at around A$180 a piece. The newer Chinese rifles are a LOT better than those old SKS rifles.
1568 — Battle of San Juan de Ulúa – English ships under Hawkins and Drake clashed with the Spanish in Mexico. After this, English hostility and privateering escalated sharply.
1572–1573 — Drake raids the Spanish Main – Francis Drake captured Spanish silver and treasure near Nombre de Dios and Panama.
1577–1580 — Drake’s circumnavigation – He seized huge amounts of Spanish treasure from Pacific coast settlements and ships.

English Empire went on for nearly 400 years before being bankrupted in 1947.
From Caesar to Constantine, about the same period of time.
From 1776 to July 4 is only 250 years, so I give the USA another century.
1500 New Data Centers Planned. A Military Project by the White House.
Global Research. 8 May 2026.
Excerpt >
The Project, dubbed Stratos by MIDA, would include a section of the military’s Utah Test and Training Range. And the project would be associated with the full training range, plus Hill Air Force Base, its Falcon Hill research park and National Guard properties throughout the state. In other words, this is a military stage. Sounding like a stage set for a military coup.
Located about 250 miles away from Box County is Area 51 in Nevada which encompasses roughly 60 square miles – slightly smaller than Stratos.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved a critical permit on May 6, 2026, for Project Baccara, a controversial $10 billion, 2-million-square-foot data center complex near Luke Air Force Base. The project is considered a military installation, estimated cost $36 billion and counting. The funding comes from Tom Barrack of Digital Bridge, an ambassador to Turkey as appointed by Trump – his good friend. The Project is near surprise, with a population of roughly 150,000. Arizona is dry – they get their water from Colorado.
There are 1500 data centers planned for the US including the two I discussed. We currently have roughly 650. Already tapping out our energy and electric grid. Humans will have to leave to support the robots. The impact is phenomenal. Scientists warn that the vast amounts of heat generated by a 60-square-mile data center campus operating at 9GW could alter the local climate, specifically impacting the ecology of the Great Salt Lake and surrounding northern Utah areas. Not to mention where will the water come from? Wild animals, plants, trees, all affected.
This is a catastrophic military project without any regard to the impact on nature and the people. As planned by the White House and Department of War for what nefarious creations our transparent government will not reveal. Data centers? Or something else wholly different?

What they don’t cover is the encroachment of AI data centres (referred to as military/ or Israeli intelligence operations) in the US and their move toward a total digital enslavement, surveillance and control system being built to enforce their New World Order.
Some say dodge was a back door for Palantir to embed themselves into the US government. The two things they do is mass surveillance and slaughter. According to Whitney Webb Palantir started out as a DARPA project built in the basement of the CIA, but as it was going to destroy their constitutional protections, it was taken out of government and rebranded as a private company to do the same thing.
Their software Gothum is used to aggregate large surveillance lists to create kill lists (e.g. mobile phone detonations already used in the Middle East AKA the Lavendar and Pegasus project), their mosaic software scrapes information on social media to gather data.
Other companies that have partnered with Palantir – Nvidia, PolyMarket, AWS, Google, Microsoft etc. Australian departments and companies also uses Palantir from Coles, Qantas, Defence, Australian Signals Directorate and they even hold a stake in our Future Fund
They also don’t cover the insider trading within the Trump family and administration on every trade, oil and tariff announcements too.
While I agree that the old City of London hold on the world has been broken, has it just shifted and decentralised to other US and world cities to control, regulate and surveil us through AI data centres.
Hi Peter one of our correspondents has known Susan Kokinda since the early 90’s and found she has a long and entrenched knowledge of Britain and its colonial control over the US and numerous other countries. As an accredited historian Susan has been accurate with her papers, books and seminars. The correspondent said when in the US and ever since he was familiar with her work and found it to be spot on. Editor
Kokinda’s view is utter rubbish.
Let us build a world together where weapons of war become obsolete and the only weapons used would be for ceremonies as sent above .
