US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent

WE at Cairns News have been posting updates from a virtually unknown group of political activists in the United States called Promethean Action, who are an offshoot of the formerly highly despised and heavily persecuted (and prosecuted) movement around the late Lyndon LaRouche.

LaRouche was something of an intellectual cult figure, who published books featuring his offbeat economic and theological theories such as The Science of Christian Economy and Other Prison Writings (ISBN 0-9621095-6-8), published by the Schiller Institute 1991.

We recently learned through the interview we posted of Promethean spokeswoman Susan Kokinda with Patrick Bet David (PBD Podcast) that LaRouche had some input into the Reagan administrations Strategic Defense Initiiative (SDI) aka Star Wars.

Google AI tells us: “Lyndon LaRouche and his organization had a bizarre, highly controversial, and unofficial back-channel connection to elements of the Reagan administration during the early 1980s, centered primarily around ballistic missile defense concepts.

“LaRouche claimed he developed concepts for beam-weapon and space-based missile defense as early as 1977. In 1982 and 1983, LaRouche’s network engaged in informal “back-channel” discussions with Soviet representatives.

“LaRouche maintained that these exploratory talks—coordinated or monitored through contacts with the National Security Council (NSC)—helped shape the strategic environment leading up to President Reagan’s March 1983 announcement of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), dubbed “Star Wars”.”

AI gave a fairly accurate answer when asked why LaRouche would be interested in space-based defense systems: “Lyndon LaRouche championed space-based defense—specifically directed-energy and laser beams to destroy incoming missiles—because he viewed it as a vital “science driver” to force economic growth, replace mutually assured destruction with superpower cooperation, and advance human technological mastery over nature.”

The apparent fact that Trump has adopted the anti-City of London policy once promoted by LaRouche, is remarkable and should be the headline in all the anti-Trump media. The fact that it isn’t might seem to confirm that the global centre of power is very much concentrated in that city.

Media trumpeting of “Trump’s secret/LaRouchian conspiracy against the British” would only tend to confirm the subject of the conspiracy.

From London and the House of Windsor we see the global environmental movement, endorsed decades ago by the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, and fully endorsed by his son King Charles, who recently in a document, scandalously declared himself as “Supreme Governor of the Church of England” and one who “protects the space for Faith within the multi-faith nation”.

From London’s Tavistock Institute we also see the global proliferation through “military psychiatry” of New Left ideology such as feminism, gender and racial identity that has become entrenched in Western education systems.

On the economic plane our frequently featured Barbara Boyd, in this latest offering, says the environmentalist/net zero policies reached a pinnacle under Joe Biden, who banned oil and gas exploration. Trump reversed that policy to the horror of the environmentalist cult.

Furthermore, says Boyd, under Biden and Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, all of the available global credit was funneled into green energy projects, which explains the Albanese Labor government’s obsession with such projects. China, with nuclear and some 1200 coal-fired power stations churning out cheap 24×7 energy, stands back and laughs at the western stupidity. The CCP looks increasingly like they are about to seize control of the global means of production.

Boyd traces the environmental movement back to 1973 when Nelson Rockefeller, through the Commission on Critical Choices for Americans, put in place the policies aimed at strict control of population and economic growth, especially in smaller, emerging economies.

The idea of population control of course had its origin in the writings of the Englishman Thomas Malthus, later to be adopted as part of the eugenics experiments in the US and Nazi Germany, and then morphing into the UN Population Council and related bodies such as Margaret Sanger’s abortion-promoting Planned Parenthood.

On the financial front, Boyd says Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who worked for George Soros when he took down the British Pound, is working to stabilize the Japanese Yen, which in turn will strengthen the US dollar, against the actions of the City of London speculators who thrive in unstable markets.

Boyd says the US dollar has been at the centre of the global oil and gas commodity speculation system, built as part of this new global financial system, and cites from a guide to the AI-powered global commodity trading system called Mercora: “A guide to London’s role as a global commodity trading hub, the exchanges and firms that anchor it, the regulatory backdrop and what it means for trade operations teams.”

In other words, the City of London is providing the regulatory environment for the global commodity trading system that replaced gold and physical production as the previous basis for pricing of the dollar. This, under Biden and previous presidents, happened for the currency of the nation that had banned oil and gas production!

Not only that, says Boyd, discussions were underway during the Biden administration to hand the economic sovereignty of the USA over to an international consortium of banks centred on the Bank of England, then overseen by Mark Carney, now Prime Minister of Canada and doing his best to bring that nation into the green global order.

Boyd says Trump cannot finish his job without gaining sovereignty over credit and finance and the “obvious weak point for these money flows is Middle East oil production” because disruption of its flows can upend the entire global economy, as we saw in Australia.

Boyd says Oman, Britain’s Gulf state colony, is pushing for a voluntary toll, which has complicated the issue and prolonged the war.

Nevertheless, Trump is winning over the Gulf states, Saudi Arabia and others with his Abraham Accords that promote peace through economic development and discards the old religious wars. These nations are now investing heavily in the United States.

The counter to this narrative is that of the radical Zionists and neoconservatives screaming for Iran to be bombed into oblivion or Tucker Carlson suggesting Trump has lost his marbles.

16 thought on “Hope springs eternal: Is Trump really fighting the evil City of London empire?”
  1. re: “The U.K. and U.S. have been joined at the hip since at least WW2”

    Some might say since at least the 1812 War when the post Cromwell Bank of England and the British East India Company’s City of London regained financial control over the American colonies, turned the US into its military muscle and built itself an even safer off shore safe haven than the British Isles.
    .
    The Dutch East India and the Swedish East India Companies’ dominance in western Europe and their transfer to Britain has much to commend their transformation from the British Empire to the American Empire.

  2. Re: “The XXI economy generates its wealth from cyberspace:”
    .
    True, they’ve gone from producing REAL goods and services to producing and selling farts in jars in cyberspace.
    .
    It’s a modern, transient economy and a ploy which will promptly be crashed as soon as ALL Land, Labour and Capital is in the hands of the Kings of Kings. A mere stepping stone on the way to the Global Empire.
    .
    While the sheep are busy reading Alice in Wonderland and visualising it as reality the shepherds are busy with writing takeover scripts such as Das Kapital and other ‘scientific’ programs. Increasing their earnings from fleecing the sucker sheep is their primary interest,
    .
    Reality and realism are not real options in cyberspace. Until the farts in jars are converted into real and tangible assets they’re simply figments of suckers’ imaginations. It’s a profitable business game well exploited by those who exploit people susceptible to gambling with their lives and families. and assets. .
    .
    Some will strike it lucky, most will lose their shirts. It’s how the live casino game works. Casinos are opened and closed for the sake of their owners, not the gamblers. Until the lucky players can cash in their chips all they have is the casino’s tokens of reality. And they are not much use anywhere except in the casino.

  3. The U.K.’s new Prime Minister, was mayor of Greater Manchester until June this year.
    .

    He has been involved in politics since early 2000’s and according to the Establishment’s propaganda outlet the B.B.C., “Burnham will scrap plans for a government-issued digital ID for all British adults, in an attempt to shift focus to “the daily priorities facing people across the country, according to his office.”
    .

    In the same vent, “Donald Trump has not said much about Burnham so far, but has said he suspects that he is “extremely liberal” [U.K. Labour Party]. The pair are on opposite sides of the political spectrum.”
    .

    Following hot on the heals of Starmer’s stuff ups, one of if not the first foreign policy own goal by Burnham was making U.K. plebeians the target of Iranian retaliations for allowing the U.S. to launch attacks on Iran from airbases on U.K. soil.
    .

    The U.K. and U.S. have been joined at the hip since at least WW2, as Queenslanders should understand.

  4. Here we go, the web-crawling chatbot has scrounged up the dirt:
    “Scott Bessent is married to John Freeman.
    Here are the key publicly reported details about Freeman:
    Career: John Freeman is a former prosecutor in New York City. He has generally maintained a low public profile since leaving that role, and there is little verified public information about subsequent professional positions.
    Marriage: Bessent and Freeman married in 2011.
    Family: They have two children, who were born through surrogacy.
    Residence and interests: The couple have lived in Charleston, South Carolina, and have been involved in the purchase, restoration, and sale of historic homes. Reports indicate they have bought and renovated numerous high-value properties over the years.
    Because Freeman is a private individual, publicly available information about his career beyond his work as a New York City prosecutor is limited and has not been widely documented in reliable sources.
    .
    Freeman is one of Springmeier’s 13 Bloodlines of the Iluminati !!!

  5. According to Promethean Action, Mr Trump is “winning” the war against the City of London banksters, by creating diversions eg bomb Iran schoolchildren out of existence (which doesn’t affect us); and using the latest “tactics” (which do affect us). Of course, the lives of humans are only collateral damage!

    Face it, folks, Peace President Ginger Nuts is Polish Benny’s LITTLE BITCH, the Vampires OWN Super War Criminal Trump BODY & SOUL.
    .
    Peace President Ginger Nuts “saving the world”? Pig’s Arse.

  7. ‘Means of production are classically identified as Land, Labour and Capital.’
    .
    Indeed – ‘classically identified.’
    .
    But people who identify with those classical pre-XXI century concepts are way behind the times. Their minds have either ossified in the twentieth century which educated them, or they’re historians. I’ve yet to encounter a contemporary banker conference in which these terms appear. That conversation died long ago.
    .
    The XXI century economy will no longer be majority dependent upon Land and Labour. Those concepts belong to a medieval economy and mindset. The XXI economy generates its wealth from cyberspace: a supra-terrestrial off world environment. This is already the largest economy in human history and its barely started.
    .
    Very soon, AI compute will be doing the intellectual work (labour) of a billion people, then a hundred billion, then a trillion [the labour of many Earth’s]. The AI will then go into the robots to do the manual labour. Most high tech factories already use this. Only AI is capable of machining nano-technology or sub-physical material. So AI is going to digitally transform labour. This means the demand for human labour is going to fall, – drastically.
    .
    Every time someone asks AI something, human labour is replaced by AI labour. Will billions of people stop using AI?, no. In fact, they’ll have to use more AI to remain competitive.
    .
    The AI powered robots don’t need much land, so the demand for land as an input for the economy is expected to fall by a factor of 10. The demand for labour as an input to the economy is expected to fall by a factor of 100.
    .
    So, with Land and Labour severely eliminated from the new economy, what’s left? – of course, – Capital. So its Capital that’s going to explode.
    .
    This is what the contemporary banker conferences are all discussing. Its their business.
    .
    And yes, everyone attending these conferences, whether in person or live streamed, understands the meaning of the discussion; that the elimination of Land and Labour as a severely diminished input to the economy will result with two types, or classes of people: those with Capital and those without.
    .
    The medieval Land and Labour economy will still exist as a parallel economy, just like other contemporary parallel economies, such as the Kalahari Bushmen ostrich egg economy , or the Inuit seal meat and bone economy, etc, but its share of economic wealth will relegate those within this economy to a lower caste. Just like India’s rural economy. This is nothing new as the world is continually evolving, upgrading and relegating.
    .
    Needless to say, this year’s major banker conference in London broached the obvious question; how do you make capital? The answer got the bankers laughing their heads off! Sheer brilliance.
    .

  8. A complex business, but basically a geopolitical initiative, with a very plausible explanation from my favourite source, about what Britain is doing. Ages ago Anna identified the Banks, the Royals, the BAR Association, and the Vatican as being the ones who create all the trouble in the world-and I think she was right.
    This is an interesting take on, in part, Iran, which says that the Brits (British Petroleum, the quiet achievers) have been in Iran forever and know exact what is in the arsenal, and so on, the Brits never being a crowd to let anything go easily:
    https://annavonreitz.com/whatbritainisdoing.pdf
    Naughty Benny has been on the nuclear weapons rant for 30 years or more, but no-one has asked where or how the Iranians got that arsenal of missiles that ARE the immediate threat.
    This whole show should be called World Theatre Productions Turbo, as it is just an evil and deadly pantomime of extraordinary proportions.

  9. Means of production are classically identified as Land, Labour and Capital. BRICS will HAVE all three in abundance as soon as the debt laden Western economies are plundered and shut down .
    .
    The formerly highly productive Western cycle has run its course into unsustainable debt. It is being wound down for some real asset stripping in the West while a new more productive BRICS cycle has been put into place to last a 100-200 year cycle.
    .
    Then it’s rinse and repeat time. At which point the Money Merchant Kabal will have stuffed the East and the West and the North and the South in its pocket and will COMPLETE ITS GLOBAL EMPIRE AMBITIONS, ruling the world as Kings of Kings.
    .
    Prepare for your serfdom all you middle class and working class bs believers and squatters. Assuming you survive the Crash, of course.

  10. [quote]. – ‘The CCP looks increasingly like they are about to seize control of the global means of production.’ [unquote].
    .
    At this moment in time, the only asset punctuating economic dominance is compute. Whatever nation possesses the most compute dominates everything: both superpowers understand this.
    .
    A few days ago (29 July), the City of London’s prestigious news outlet, ‘The Economist,’ did a lengthy interview with Elon Musk. From the very beginning it was interesting to observe the interviewer’s obvious fear of the future and the unknown, whilst Elon was cool and balanced, pointing out the obvious, ‘like we’re all going to die, so what’s your problem, – just enjoy the journey?’ How true.
    .
    Before heading into discussions on the near future economy and its industries, Elon made it quite clear, that whoever dominates compute – wins. And because compute, or digital intelligence is the product of electricity and customised silicon chips, then its needless to say, that whoever gains supply dominance of these twin commodities secures the dominating compute.
    .
    As of now, its the compute of the existing digital intelligence that’s working out how to increase its own compute: think about that? Ciao monkey brain.

    Elon also explained, that China currently possesses an extremely powerful level of compute, but its denied dominance by one important factor, where despite securing a surplus of energy, its still deficit in a proportionate amount of chips. As such, China cannot scale up its compute industry. Its like having an abundance of rocket fuel – but no rockets.
    .
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuoqKYxDHVc
    .
    At this point in time, twenty-first century military and economic power rests upon electricity and highly specialised silicon chips. That’s what the two big players are concerned with, everything else is inconsequential.
    .
    The City of London and the European bankers are nothing more than ‘twentieth century banking re-enactment societies.’ The world has moved on. The two superpowers were quick to recognise the one thing that will define the twenty-first century, and that alone, will define future apex value. Only that will have apex currency in the twenty-first century.
    .
    The current global bear market is giving the old financial establishment a bit of breathing space. Its putting everything on hold for them, putting the global economic engine in neutral as their legal teams amend their antiquated financial rules and regulations that eliminates them from participating in their own industry!
    .
    Last month’s big banker conference in the City of London was extremely insightful and put all the new banking concepts into perspective. So hopefully, everything should be resolved by Q1 2027, at which point the bear will be sedated once again and the economic brakes come off.
    .

    Read the article and feel stupid.
    .
    .E.G.
    “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” –Donald Trump (1946- ), American President (2017-2021 and 2025- ), (in an infamous statement on the morning of Tuesday, April 7, 2026)
    .
    “The first time (first term), I had two things to do – run the country and survive; I had all these crooked guys. And the second time (second term), I run the country and the world.” —Donald Trump (1946- ), American President (2017-2021 and 2025- ), (in the interview in the Atlantic, “I run the country and the world”, published on April 28, 2025)”
    .

  12. Suggesting that Trump is going after the City of London is like suggesting that the NY Mafia is going after the Chicago Mafia. The author is blissfully unaware that both operation centres are controlled by the same crew that owns Murder Inc which keeps everyone in check and makes sure everyone does as they’re told.
    .
    On the other hand, in many circles the idea is to give everyone else the wrong idea. Power doesn’t come from any geographic llocation. It comes from those who wield it. And historically, those who wield it have never sat in the same place so as to turn themselves into sitting ducks.
    .
    The Epstein fiasco tells us there is always plenty going on that we don’t know about. There are plenty who are paid and manipulated or blackmailed to make sure it stays that way. And there are plenty who are paid to take the rats to wherever the Money Cult wants them to go. Heaven or Hell, it makes no difference to them as long as they stay in charge and keep the money rolling in.

  13. The author said – “… The counter to this narrative is that of the radical Zionists and neoconservatives screaming for Iran to be bombed into oblivion…”
    .
    Counter? Really? Really really REALLY?
    .
    Wasn’t it Peace President Ginger Nuts and his new pet psychopath, merciless Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who SURPRISE ATTACKED Iran in an UNPROVOKED and utterly ILLEGAL war of aggression? Wasn’t it Super War Criminal Trump who STARTED the war with Iran? Wasn’t it Trump’s Epstein Administration who treacherously and unbelievably pefidiously ASSASSINATED the Iranian negotiators each time negotiations were offered, not once but TWICE?
    .
    Give me a break.
    .
    Hey folks, have you ever seen someone twisting themselves into pretzels, doing figurative imaginative ACROBATICS to squeeze a square peg into a round hole, contorting their brains to EXTREMES to try to believe something is what it’s NOT? You’re seeing it in the article above.
    .
    Perhaps be thanking God for small mercies, Martin Armstrong’s AI program Socrates has long been forecasting the DISINTEGRATION of Amerikka over the next decade or so, so at least we’ll not have to be enduring the likes of Super War Criminal Trump aka Peace President Ginger Nuts for what already seems like Eternity.

  14. Sir Bogan Knight ; it is nearly that time when an Australian will show itself on the world stage starting with the ethnic cleansing of the UK followed by France and then the Scandinavian countries forcing the undesirables to return to from whence they came fleeing on masse in desperate haste to save themselves .
    That is when Australia will be cut from its shackles that has made our country what it is ,from a country the world was jealous of that people would migrate here just be become an Australian , a land of the free ,of free speech and mutual respect that of a fair go for all like it used to be .

  15. I would say Japan is getting out of the credit business in Asia because they were funding BYD and suddenly realised BYD was murdering Toyota and Nissan. Now they can direct their financing to Japanese projects like Toyota finance or train lines in Thailand. In Australia we see HSBC getting out, an English bank but the scams between Hong Kong and Sydney are being terminated with increasing desperation.
    On the bigger picture I think Trump’s activities are like a gnat-bite to the big players such as Rockerfellas. If RFK gets under their skin too much they will bump him off. Fauci can be sacrificed and no loss to anyone because he’s nearly dead already. But what about Elbow’s buddy Gates ? Gates is in denial about being close to Rockerfellas but Gates is all about distribution, his father was in Costco, and he is about making something for $1 and selling it worldwide for a huge multiple. Rockerfellas also all about distribution.
    Bot, shamelessly in denial of the bleeding obvious, says:
    “Frederick T. Gates was a Baptist minister by training.
    The principal business and philanthropic adviser to John D. Rockefeller from about 1891 to 1923.
    A key architect of Rockefeller’s charitable giving, helping establish institutions such as the Rockefeller Foundation, the University of Chicago, and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. [ how about that ]
    He is sometimes mentioned online because his surname is Gates, leading some people to speculate about a connection to Bill Gates. However, there is no credible evidence that Frederick Taylor Gates was an ancestor of or closely related to Bill Gates. The shared surname is a coincidence, and genealogical records do not support the claims often made in conspiracy theories.”
    Are we in ww3, did it start in 2001 or 2003, is it a limited war, does Trump want the Americas and Greenland with an outpost in Israel, is he going to divorce Swissy’s UN, obsolete London and western Europe and throw his lot in entirely with Rockerfellas ? Anything can happen but as we see with the outcomes of ww1 and ww2, it was all resolved in 1947 to the advantage of the big players.
