Originally published a few months ago behind a paywall at Fandom Pulse, revelations that USAID was putting their thumb on the cultural scale by funding NGOs to make money-losing propaganda make the point of this post more relevant than ever. What will happen when the endless money to support SJWs and their art is cut off? And which creators will be poised to survive and thrive once the playing field is level?

"The Democrats’ strategy throughout the country now, but mostly in blue States, is to get the federal judiciary to usurp the executive powers of the executive branch and that’s what this is all about. It’s a very dangerous ploy. These judges should not be entertaining it but in multiple cases they have, and they’ve issued temporary restraining orders on a whole host of issues that really amount to political policy issues.
"This is the problem. If the federal judges really want to run the executive branch then the executive branch should be in their courtrooms two to three times a day asking the judges to make decisions and the judges are going to regret that."

The Only 'Constitutional Crisis' is That Democrats Lost, Now They’re Trying To Govern from the Courtroom
My Hot Take on Democat Lawfare: 'There is no constitutional crisis other than the Democrats lost. They are trying to create a constitutional crisis by having the judiciary and the federal district courts assume control of the executive branch.'

The Kremlin is running a “special campaign” to obscure the war’s impact on the economy, according to ISW. Analysts note that Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin told Putin on February 7 that GDP grew by 4.1% in 2024 due to the “intensive” development of the manufacturing industry—essentially, military production. He also cited inflation at 9.52%, while Putin had previously stated on February 3 that it was 9.9%.
ISW reports that real inflation is nearing 20%, and the Kremlin is silent about the Central Bank’s rate hike to 21% and the National Welfare Fund’s war-related spending, which could drain its liquidity by fall 2025.

"One takeaway is quite clear. Whatever comes next, it's going to come from independent creators who control their own IPs. Hollywood is a propaganda factory that's forgotten how to entertain. The Big Two comics publishers are now brand management firms maintaining copyrights for propaganda films. The Big Five book publishers are dead and on their way to going broke.
"Creating a cultural touchstone like Spider-Man or Star Wars takes a visionary with an idea that resonates with mass audiences by solving longstanding storytelling problems in revolutionary ways. Furthermore, that next-level artistic vision must be paired with expert marketing savvy.
"A combination like that only comes around once or twice in a generation, and in Current Year, the big media corporations have become too bloated, monopolistic, and shortsighted to foster what's next.
"The revolution awaits an indie creator to come along with the right idea at the right time and maximally leverage the new open distribution infrastructure. We're already seeing the first glimmers of this future in newpub."

"I recently rewatched “Shape of things to come” 1936 edition. It’s a reasonably close adaptation of his book of the same name: he wrote the screenplay. It is touted by various kinds of art-poufs as being important as a film somehow. It is insanely bad. This was supposed to be muh hard science, yet people are running around with ridiculous capes and useless giant helmets. The movie is a series of speeches given by the same couple of actors, portraying different characters and their descendants through history. The connecting material is 1935 era special effects set pieces. There’s no dramatic arc. The smarty pants guy makes smug remarks about war, the dorky guy makes dumb remarks about war, then the same actors do it again in a post apocalyptic future, then again in their totalitarian “utopia.” Some “bad” man who hates progress (played by post apocalyptic warlord actor) gives a speech about how we should stop all this progress nonsense, foments a riot, then they shoot a couple of kids into space in a big gun, wiping out the evil rioters. Then the father of one of the kids (a totalitarian Klaus Schwab dictator who probably wants you to eat the bugs) gives a rousing speech about how progress is good, actually. I wanted to kill all the characters in this movie. I watched it as a kid, figuring it would be like all the cool 50s HG Wells movies, but it wasn’t: those took enough liberties with Wells stories to make them halfway decent. This was the pure, unadulterated Wells, and it sucked."

What’s happening is that as the second Trump administration comes into focus people are starting to think that maybe we could have serious reform of what is by far the country’s biggest economic problem — the debasement of the dollar and the inflation it so often portends.
Could this be the moment to set the goal for the issuance of a gold-backed long term bond? This is the idea, which I’ve nursed for years, of issuing a U.S. Treasury bond convertible into gold at maturity. What could better symbolize America’s vision for a new Golden Age than issuing gold-backed bonds on July 4, 2026 — America’s 250th birthday — to mature 50 years later on our country’s 300th birthday?
It would establish a beachhead for America’s commitment to sound finances and sound money going forward at a moment when both goals are encountering flak. Just this week came news that the latest inflation number has perked back up above 3 percent, which is 50 percent above the Fed’s target.
Notably, Elon Musk has come out for putting at the head of the Federal Reserve the former congressman Ron Paul. It’s hard to imagine that Dr. Paul would want that job, given that he thinks the Federal Reserve itself is unconstitutional. Yet Mr. Musk’s endorsement of Dr. Paul’s longstanding call for a broad congressional audit of our central bank speaks volumes.
Meantime the Senate has confirmed President Trump’s former budget director, Russell Vought, to return as head of OMB. “I am not a huge fan of the Fed,” Mr. Vought has said. “They have existed with this notion that they have this priestly ability to make decisions. And in fact, I don’t actually think they’re that good at it.”
Chatter is in the air about whether America should mark to market the price of the substantial gold reserves it holds on the nation’s balance sheet at a statutory price of $42.22 a troy ounce. That compares to gold’s current market price in excess of $2,900 a troy ounce. The chatter followed a recent Financial Times column that speculated on a role for gold in America’s financial future.
Mr. Trump’s new treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, had vowed at an Oval Office event that “we’re going to monetize the asset side of the U.S. balance sheet for the American people.” Monetizing the 261 million troy ounces in gold held by the U.S. government by revaluing them would deliver a windfall gain of roughly three-quarters of a trillion dollars. It adds up.
Different sages or speculators are offering ideas for using financial gains to be realized through a revaluation of America’s gold reserves. No less an authority on monetary matters than James Grant of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer sketches how the increased cash resources could be used to pay down existing Treasury debt in Hamiltonian fashion. Proponents of a strategic Bitcoin reserve, such as Senator Lummis of Wyoming, have launched a bid to finance Bitcoin acquisitions through gold revaluation.
What a moment, though, to announce the establishment of an official link between the dollar and gold by issuing a Treasury bond that guarantees redemption in gold. It would be the realization of President Reagan’s earlier vow to fight crippling inflation caused by too much government spending.
“We’ll never regain price stability until we restore some form of gold backing to the dollar,” the Gipper said in a campaign ad. “As president, my first priority will be to make the dollar the most trusted currency in the world.”
Could President Trump make it happen where Reagan was unable to overpower the resistance? By revaluing the gold and then pledging American gold reserves as collateral behind the newly issued government bonds, America would set up a barometer for measuring progress toward monetary soundness.
