Scott Bessent is reportedly considering extending Dollar swap lines to strategic allies in the Gulf region. He stated making $ swap lines permanent could serve as an initial step to build new Dollar funding centers in the Gulf and Asia, shifting power from the Euro Dollar system

it's so funny. i'll post about something that i know very well -- like the relative lack of action the Trump admin is taking against the Far Left, for instance. and i always get people who sperg the f out in the comments with stuff like "well, what are U doing about it, tuff guy??" nothing and i mean NOTHING triggers these people faster than pointing out that their side has an anemic organizing capacity. for the past several years, i've been laying out the building blocks of what the right wing needs: 1. local intelligence (area study) that supports 2. organizing your community which leads to 3. building local political power giving you 4. control over policies + institutions helping you 5. keep the good stuff in and 6. the bad stuff out so when someone hits me with the "what are U doing about it" -- brother, i've laid out the entire framework you need to implement this at the local level. the right wing's problem has never been lack of passion or belief. it's been two things: lack of actual, unified effort and lack of how-to knowledge. this is why i've been going around central texas giving my presentation on counter-organizing. (i'll be in houston @yrsofhouston on april 30th, up in dallas in may, and then hitting some other states this summer.) so after this area intelligence handbook launch, i'm going right back into book writing mode 5000 and churning out that right wing community organizing guide. thank you for your attention to this matter.

Gotta say, I'm pretty excited about being DONE with this book. Just a couple weeks to go. If you haven't signed up for the pre-launch yet >> areaintelligence.com

95% of engineers in India can't program, yet they are hired OVER American Engineers in software. Even with AI they destroy code because they don’t know what they’re doing. Indians are 100% slop, and have destroyed many companies products. The smart American Engineers can't get a job, they are replaced by Indians who don't know how to do their job/use fraudulent credentials to staff ALL MAJOR US COMPANIES. m.economictimes.com/tech/ites/95-e…

BREAKING: I just filed a landmark lawsuit against ActBlue for deceiving Americans by lying about its donation processes that allow fraudulent and foreign donations.

I'll give Nolan credit for creating the S2/G2 system, however, the U.S. Army had formal military intelligence efforts dating at least back to the 1860s. This obviously does not include the spy rings and espionage efforts dating back to the Revolution and the French and Indian War before that. By the early 1860s, U.S. General McClellan appoints Alan Pinkerton (of The Pinkertons) as his intel chief, setting up a formal intelligence organization in the Army. When McClellan gets canned, Pinkerton leaves and takes his spy network with him, which is a considerable blow to the Union. Around this time, U.S. Army Brigadier Gen Patrick is named Provost Marshal General, and oversees the interrogation of Confederate POWs and deserters, and escaped slaves. He also oversees Union spy networks and runs some rudimentary counterintelligence. I say that last part with an asterisk, because BG Patrick is also known to arrest reporters and Americans citizens of questionable loyalty to the Union. Still, this is more or less an informal effort, which later becomes a more formal effort called the Bureau of Military Information (BMI). "I hope our friends understand that in the great game that is now being played, everything in the way of advantage depends on which side gets the best information." Gen G. Sharpe, BMI, Commanding In fact, the BMI is set up in an attempt to centralize reconnaissance and other intelligence reporting from across all the disparate sources collecting information for the Union. As you can imagine, in theory it's a great idea but is plagued with problems, mostly a lack of training: intelligence reports are notoriously faulty and then you also have commanders deciding what intelligence is accurate instead of the intelligence staff. But you can't entirely blame them because formalized intelligence is still in its infancy and, again, lack of training and formal doctrine is a limiting factor that often produced bad intelligence. The U.S. Army also has two major problems with its intelligence system around this time. First, much of the intelligence is passed via telegraph and "wigwags" (communications flags) by the U.S. Army Signal Corps. These isolated and lightly defended stations make easy targets for routine raids by Confederate cavalry. And they;re often well within range of Confederate artillery fire. ☠️ Second, the Army does have a short-lived Balloon Corps, which are manned platforms under hot-air balloons. These guys also make easy targets for Confederate sharpshooters. Between the logistical challenges of moving these balloons, then the long wait times while they're set up (and then taken down), this program is cancelled. I think the BMI did solve more problems that it created. The Confederate Army never has anything like it, and the Union eventually has better intelligence because of this centralized effort, imo. Yes, Confederate cav units are exceptional in raiding and reconnaissance -- by far the best on any given battlefield. In 1862, then Major John S. Mosby -- who is apparently quite bored -- proposes to Gen JEB Stuart the creation of a guerrilla raiding force and Mosby's Rangers is born. They dress in blue coats, ambush Federal cavalry units (who at this point were supremely inferior) and raid Union supply lines. Also in 1862, CSA President Jeff Davis orders to expansion of the Confederate cavalry to 3,000 men. And at all times from then on are the "eyes and ears" of Confederate generals. Early on, General Robert E. Lee understands the value of intelligence. He conducted reconnaissance during the Mexican-American War in 1846-48, and was later a cavalry officer leading a reconnaissance unit during the Commanche War. Lee has extensive spy networks reaching far into the North. The CSA Secret Service Bureau infiltrated Washington D.C., sending intel reports from within the city. There's even a Confederate agent placed within the U.S. War Department. One of the biggest tasks, though, is smuggling newspapers containing information Federal military activities out of northern cities. Lee and his staff are reading newspapers from D.C. and Baltimore about a day after publishing, and New York City in about two days. That's a ~300 mile trip, or 150 miles per day. So the Confederate espionage effort is quite extensive, and yet the Confederacy never gets around to centralizing its intelligence efforts. Lee has no intelligence staff and the CSA never gets anything close to the Union's BMI. Anyway, almost* every year, I give an Intelligence Tour of the Battle of Gettysburg, where I talk about the various intelligence efforts and collection techniques employed by both sides during Lee's campaign north. Should I organize another one this July, for the battle's anniversary?

State Department Cracks Down on Visas of People ‘Working on Behalf of U.S. Adversaries’

🚨 JUST IN—IT’S OFFICIAL: Conservatives have BLOCKED an attempt to RAM THROUGH a 5 year extension of FISA in the dead of night, extending it by only 2 weeks @timburchett, @laurenboebert, and @RepThomasMassie are out here celebrating a win against the deep state 🇺🇸🔥 “They try to bring us in all these classified briefings and tell us how DANGEROUS it is to have warrants to spy on American citizens. The briefing that we're never going to get is, ‘hi, our agency has been given TOO MUCH power by Congress!” — Rep. Boebert — Asked about how this current FISA bill relates to the powers used to spy on President Trump’s campaign, Massie said: “Today, I went in the SCIF and saw two TOP SECRET documents that showed this program is getting worse—NOT better!” When I asked how extending FISA impacts everyday Americans, Massie replied: “If you get on the government's naughty list—regardless of who is in the White House—they could put your name in this, find things about you, and then go recreate ANOTHER evidence trail to discover that because they're NEVER going to say they used FISA.” — When I asked Burchett what he thinks of FISA, and if it’s used to spy on aliens, he said: “I don’t believe in FISA. The only reason aliens don’t come down here is because there IS not intelligent life.” 🤣🔥

🚨 BREAKING: US Attorney Jeanine Pirro just announced activist Judge Boasberg has BLOCKED a Grand Jury from investigating the Federal Reserve Pirro says this block is TOTALLY ILLEGAL. THE HOUSE NEEDS TO START IMPEACHING THESE ACTIVIST JUDGES. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! "As a result, Jerome Powell today is now bathed in IMMUNITY preventing my office from investigating the federal reserve. This is wrong, and it is WITHOUT legal authority."

At the end of the month, I'll be in Houston giving my Counter-Organize & Win presentation. Organizing yourself and disorganizing your opponent is the decisive action in low intensity conflict. Red area = organize Blue area = counter-organize This is the only way forward.

Michael Cargill, owner of Central Texas Gun Works, says two of his employees were involved in the shooting. He says one is in the hospital, the other is being charged with murder. He says altercation that led to the shooting happened because a group of 12 people mistook them for other people in an earlier altercation, and shots were fired out of self defense. @cbsaustin

U.S. GDP grew by just 0.5% in Q4, even weaker than the prior estimate. For all of 2025, the economy grew by a meager 2.1%, down sharply from 2.8% in 2024 and 2.9% in 2023. In fact, under Trump the U.S. economy was weaker in 2025 than during any year under Biden!
