Introduction- One Nation Under Factions
In Part One, "Between the State and the Insurrection: Tactics of Regime Survival and Overthrow," the tactics of both an insurrectionist force and the state were discussed. The inability of liberal tactics to confront Marxist tactics is self-evident in the revolutions in Russia and Italy and in events like the Bay of Pigs and Somalia 1993; the importance of intelligence agencies in the modern world; the general strike as the final line of defense; and finally, the importance of culture as a first line of defense in the most bourgeois society. But these were broad examples covering over a century of history in different parts of the world. What about modern America ? The time in which we live ? America is a country of factions, new and old, foreign and domestic, a country that is on the brink of opportunities for exploitation. There is the never ending conflict between the financial capitalists and the industrial capitalists as one faction seeks to gut the other for profit; there are American technocrats in California who seek to turn America into a captive market on behalf of a certain Middle Eastern nation; there is the original competition of North and South, the Yankees and the Cowboys and the Northeastern banking and the Southwestern oil establishments.
This is combined with the crisis of sovereignty inherent in liberal societies, especially when there is a rise of non-white ethnic enclaves, the Yankee flight of Northern states to Southern states, the vacuum of power left behind by the war against organized crime, the creation and exposing of a world-wide blackmail web, and, most importantly, Cuba. A tiny island nation ninety miles off the coast of Florida that once made a tremendous amount of money for American elites, an island that still has the potential for exploitation if only the Communist regime were gone, an island that had held the darkest secrets of the American regime, that had also exposed the greatest weakness of the American giant, that had defeated it in a head-on collision of tactics, an island that caused a shockwave through the American system and caused the downfall of two presidents, and with President Trump's renewed interest in war and conquest in Venezuela and the bog in Iran, this tiny island may again mean the death of a president. All these factions seek to consolidate power in a declining empire, with the three most important being the Yankees, the Cowboys, and the Technocrats. This essay seeks to walk step-by-step through each faction, their goals, their policy, and its effects. To begin, each has a simple message to the average American whom they call for support: trust me to the bitter end.
The Shrinking Scope of the Economy
The framework these factions find themselves in is contracting; the scope of the economy is shrinking, which means that the ability to make money, maintain power, and even territory becomes limited. This contraction started with the gutting of industry by financial capitalists during the 1970s and 80s and continues to this day. The great battle between the Americans and the Chinese is not simply capitalism vs Chinese socialism but the industrial capitalism of China and the financial capitalism of America. The downsizing of the economy can be attributed to the Yankee class in the Northeast, the Al Dunlaps who took a "chainsaw" to businesses to cut costs and make money. Dunlap worked in the era of profit at any price. The author John Byrne said in his book "Chainsaw" that the more people he tossed out in the street, the higher the stock price went. In 1996, Sunbeam Products, an electronic and appliance manufacturer, had made Dunlap the CEO in hopes that he would turn the company around. John Byrne explained the program Dunlap undertook, saying (p. 66):
"The cutbacks Dunlap proposed were so draconian that they would invite criticism from Wall Street, the U.S. Secretary of Labor, and a host of management gurus and experts. Dunlap said he would eliminate half of Sunbeam's 12,000 employees, scrap 87 percent of its existing products, and sell or consolidate thirty-nine of its fifty-three facilities, including eighteen of its twenty-six factories and thirty-seven of its sixty-one warehouses. He would also divest several lines of business, including Sunbeam's outdoor furniture operations, clocks, sales, and decorative bedding. He would close six regional offices as well as the company's Fort Lauderdale HQ. The downsizing, he said, would save the company $225 million a year and would result in a one-time pre-tax charge of $300 million."
In 1998, Dunlap would be fired from his post as CEO after committing nearly $60 million in accounting fraud. By the end of his career, he would be CEO of nine companies; he would downsize each one, laying off tens of thousands of workers and closing dozens of factories and facilities. These other companies included Lily Tulip, Scott Paper Company, Australian National Industries, Crown Zellernbach, and Consolidated Press Holdings. Investors couldn't be more pleased with Dunlap and men just like him; investors like Michael Price exclaimed that society needed to learn to cope with the Al Dunlaps, saying (p.70):
It was the Al Dunlap's of business who were making society more productive by laying people off and closing the plants. Those jobs were gone anyway, it's part of our economy, Look at France. They protect jobs there, and the whole economy suffers."
This gutting of industry and the consolidation of power still continues today, as seen with Larry Ellison's successful takeover of Warner Bros. The rentier class in America has become the dominant oligarchs in the country, which prevents it from becoming an industrial power or, at the very least, growing an industry like the Chinese have in the past twenty years. Unlike in America, the Chinese have purged their rentier class consistently so as to avoid the situation that faced America with Al Dunlap. Other problems that face America include the fact that 3.8% of family homes are owned by large investment institutions and hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland are being bought up by CEOs of large corporations like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. Professor Michael Hudson speaks about the Chinese model he gave in a lecture; he said:
"There are certain costs in America and the world economy that are common. Every country, except the United States now, has to pay the same price for its copper, steel, and oil, and this makes absolute cost structures the key. But China does - of course, it has an advantage because it's followed the original plan of the classical economists. You minimize economic rent overhead and you streamline the economy. So there's no parasitic private financial sector, no parasitic rentier class. And at least President Xi has said that housing is to live in, not to treat as an investment good. And I think they're beginning to try to move in that direction these days. What China has done is follow the logic of industrial capitalism. They call it socialism with Chinese characteristics. They could call it industrial capitalism with Chinese characteristics because it's exactly what they're following; the same path by which Britain and Germany and the United States organized their industrial takeoff."
It would be unfair to say that the gutting of industry and the shrinking scope of the economy are only due to the financial class; indeed the local and state governments, in particular those of the Northern states, should have major blame placed on them for their active participation in driving industry away. In 2021, the head of Connecticut's school constructions grant, Kosta Diamantis, coerced construction companies into a "pay-to-play" scheme for school construction contracts. Connecticut is perhaps the prime example of the state and local government creating an unworkable situation in the state. In the last ten years, due to the nationally high income and property taxes, regulation, and general cost to operate, the state has lost businesses such as General Electric, Aetna, and most recently, the manufacturer Stanley Black & Decker. Beyond the people operating within the system is the economics of the system itself, inherently and purposefully flawed for the benefits of those in power; GDP is one such example. For states with high GDP, there is nothing to brag about; some of the major components within GDP include healthcare, which accounts for around 18% of GDP, rent costs, and even crime. For instance, higher rents mean higher property value; therefore policies that directly lead to higher rents, such as property taxes, are left in place. This also benefits the landlord class since in many Northern states the rents are paid by the state through programs like Section 8. So in the end, everyone makes money as the surrounding area deteriorates and becomes poorer.
Finally, there is the newly arrived energy crisis caused by the war in Iran. The reasoning behind this war will be explained in the next two sections, but as of now this war is yet another way in which the economy in America is shrinking. President Trump first claimed that this war would be over within days, then increasing up to four weeks; now it could last up to one hundred days and even into September. However, the world, which includes America, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, does not have a hundred days, nor does it have four weeks. QatarEnergy and other oil companies have halted their operations, which will take weeks to restart, and Qatar has already declared a forced majeure on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), which will free its contracting parties from liability since their refineries and shipping are under threat of being bombed and have already been bombed. For the Gulf states, which are high-spending and high-cost welfare states reliant on foreign labor, any extended war and shutdown of oil shipping will create an existential threat to their very stability, leaving them no choice but to either strong-arm the Americans or make a deal with Russia and the rest of BRICS; the same goes for Europe, which would mean the end of their project in Ukraine. This gamble that Trump is doing with Iran may mean the end for America's overseas empire, and every day longer this war lasts is a slip for America and for Trump. These are just some of the examples in which the scope of the economy, the system, is contracting, causing factions within America to become more aggressive overseas and with each other. And as these factions now become unveiled once again, it's important to remember the words of Bertrand de Jouvenel in his book "On Power." The extremes of individualism and socialism meet: that was their predestined course. This will become more evident as the vacuums of power left in liberal society find those fit to fill it.
The Yankee-Cowboy War
The two original factions in the United States are that of the aristocracy of the North, the "Yankees," and the aristocracy of the South, who, since the late 19th century, can be called the "Cowboys." Both factions have worked together and fought each other while at the same time having opposing interests for themselves. The Yankees, the Eastern establishment, are transatlantic; they're the financial power centers of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago. They also represent long-lasting and powerful institutions like the intelligence agencies and the globalist institutions like the IMF, the UN, and the World Bank. Especially important is their Yankee oil companies which have had a presence in the Middle East for over a century and formed the Seven Sisters oil cartel in the early 20th century. The Cowboys, however, are the oil tycoons of Texas, the defense industries dotted around southern states producing weapons; they're the military-industrial complex and form the 0perations wing of the CIA. In Carl Olgesby's 1973 book "The Yankee-Cowboy War," he lays out the cultural institutions that dominate American society; he says (p.6):
"Yankeeness is the Ivy League and Cowboyness is the NFL. Yankee is the exclusive clubs of Manhattan, Boston, and Georgetown. Cowboy is the exclusive clubs of Dallas, New Orleans, and Orange County. Yankee is the Council of Foreign Relations, the secret Round Table, Elanor Roosevelt, Bundles for Britain, and at a certain point, the Dulles brothers and the doctrine of massive retaliation. Cowboy is Johnson, Conally, Howard Hunt and the Bay of Pigs team. Yankee is Kennedy, Cowboy is Nixon."
Carl Olgesby describes the climax of this battle being the infamous coup of Kennedy and the counter-coup of Nixon, but this war has reignited once again. Trump has started the fight in Venezuela and in Iran and soon will be in Cuba as well, not for the people, but on behalf of his donors, which are the factions who back him up: the aforementioned Technocrats in California aligned with Israel and the Cowboys in the oil and defense industry. His own secretary of state, Rubio, a son of Cuban exiles, is the perfect fit. The old-money Yankee class meanwhile, has not only lost the prestige that followed them, but so have their institutions and alliances. But to understand this, there must be an understanding of how this war began.
The Cowboys were not always the oil and defense tycoons they are now; their origin, and indeed this whole fight, comes from when America was still a colony. The Yankees, established in the Northern colonies and their hubs like New York and Boston, made their wealth through their harbors, the triangular trade from Africa and the Caribbean, and their skilled artisans who could trade their goods overseas. The Southern elite, meanwhile, centered around Virginia and the Carolinas, found their wealth in the agrarian economy, where the raw materials of tobacco and cotton were sent to the mother nation of England, whose industry would turn these materials into useful products. During and immediately following the American Revolution, infighting between these factions began over policies and ideas that would last until the Civil War. Topics such as federalism and anti-federalism, central banking, slavery, free trade, and protectionism. The first loss of the Southern elite came with the trashing of the Articles of Confederation and the adoption of the Constitution. Compromises like the Bill of Rights and the ⅗ doctrine for Congressional representation were granted to the Southern elite in return. This fight would continue through the early 19th century, the 1820 division at the Mason-Dixon line would contain the slave states and, in that aspect, the Southern aristocracy's representation in Congress. From 1854 to 1858, a situation known as "Bleeding Kansas" saw the Kansas territory settlers battle with each other over pro-Yankee and pro-southern rule. All of this would come to a head with the election of Aberham Lincoln, a lawyer and lobbyist for companies like the Illinois Central Railroad, who would win the presidency. The southern states would secede from the Union, and Lincoln would wage a war on them in order to once and for all settle the original battle the federalists and anti-federalists fought over: the hegemony of a central government over the states, the consolidation of the Yankee elite over the South, and the industrial North's complete domination of economic decision-making over the country.
The Southern elite, however, was not utterly defeated; despite the military occupation of the South during Reconstruction, the secessionist leaders, officers, and businessmen were not hung for treason, so even though their agricultural power diminished, the Southern aristocracy would reinvent itself across the Mississippi, in the oil basins of Texas and Oklahoma. They would become the new-money Cowboy class and would rise again to become direct rivals to the old-money Yankee financial and soon-to-be globalist elites. Oil figures like H.L. Hunt, Sid Richerdoson, and Clint Murchison Sr. would exploit basins in East Texas, a basin with some of the cleanest and most abundant on the planet. These would challenge the Seven Sisters of oil in the North, oil companies like Exxon from New Jersey and Mobil from New York, as well as Gulf and Shell oil companies. This class would become immensely important to the Yankee establishment during World War Two for an obvious source of oil that is both at home,\ and immensely clean. In World War Two, and immediately following the war, the Southern aristocracy makes its comeback. The Yankees establish the U.N., the IMF, and NATO; the transatlantic alliance comes into full fruition. The Yankees became reliant on the oil and the newly established military-industrial complex in Texas and other states in the South. Just as in the decades following the Civil War, both classes fill Congress with their people. The Kennedy brothers for the Yankees, Johnson the Texan, and Nixon the Californian for the Cowboys. This is where the alliance falls apart, where the war over philosophy begins, and which costs the lives of the Kennedy brothers and the career of Nixon. Carl Oglesby explains this philosophy (p.11):
"The overwar in Asia has its internal American origin in the native reflex to maintain the western frontier on the old terms and to do so at all cost, since our whole way of life hinges on the frontier. What the late blooming Yankee liberal critics of the Vietnam War refused to hear and recognize between the lines of the prowar arguments of the more philosophical Cowboy hawks was this essential point, about the importance of frontier expansion in American life from the beginning."
It was during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations that the Cowboys set their sights on expansionism into Latin America and Indochina. This isn't to say that there were no members of the Yankee establishment who did not agree with this expansionism. Allen Dulles had a deep interest in the overthrow of Fidel Castro in Cuba and other operations such as the 1954 coup of Guatemala. But the Yankee class was completely against an open invasion, just as it was opposed to expanding the war in Vietnam; the Yankee leaders of the CIA and other institutions preferred more covert operations. This is when the Bay of Pigs plan would be developed under Nixon as vice president, but executed under Kennedy. Cuba and the Bay of Pigs, as well as organized crime, will be discussed in chapters below, but it is here that Kennedy failed. The mistake Kennedy made was the same that Nixon and now Trump have made; all three alienated themselves from too many factions and went rogue. The entirety of the ruling class lost faith in them. The system was in such shock that it had failed in this tiny Caribbean island; so much money had been lost for organized crime. The years of training and arms dealing by Cowboy CIA operators like Desmon Morales, Barry Seal, Howard Hunt, and Frank Sturgis were for nothing. With Kennedy firing Allen Dulles and his brother Bobby's pursuit of Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa, he alienated his own Yankee class as well. So on November 22nd, 1963, Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas, and his vice president, the Texan Lyndon Johnson, expanded the war in Vietnam. Johnson would merely last a term as the Yankees sought to oust him as soon as possible, seeing him as going off the rails in relation to the Vietnam War. Nixon would follow thereafter, and nearly a decade after the assasination of Kennedy, Nixon would use the same men he was acquainted with during the Bay of Pigs, the same men who repeatedly come up in conspiracies about Kennedy's death. Nixon, always paranoid of the Eastern establishment, utilized men like Howard Hunt, Desmond Morales, and Frank Sturges to break into the Watergate hotel to wiretap the Democrats. Watergate did not go away, much like how the Epstein files will not go away; Nixon would also spy on the anti-war and Black Power movements propping up around the country. Distrustful of the FBIs and CIAs domestic surveillance program, Nixon went rogue and created his own intelligence, the Plumbers. Near the end, Nixon fell out of favor with the ruling classes and his own southern backers; despite expanding the war in Vietnam, America would exit the war in defeat; the creation of the EPA, Castro remaining in power, and the influence of Kissinger and his detente with communists were more than enough that Nixon no longer had anyone to rely on. So on August 8th, 1974, Nixon resigned on television; the Yankee counter-coup, the revenge for Kennedy, was successful. Carl Oglesby, in a lecture given in 1975, expands on all of this:
"This particular fight centers around some liberals who were afraid of what Nixon was about to do centers right in on the issues that are in the headlines today and that underline Watergate. The formation of the plumbers arises from Nixon's attempt to establish a uniform policy on a key question without having the consensus to support it. That is to say he is doing what Kennedy was doing, he's going too far at the time of Watergate. He's creating the mechanisms of domestic repression that cannot be accepted by his foes even if they're not immediately aimed against his foes but aimed against the dissenters. Because his foes being foxy, worldly wise people understand well enough that the instruments of torture invented to serice one need can be used to service another."
But all of this was decades ago; other than Oglesby's book, there has been little to no mention of this theory of Yankee and Cowboy, but using this framework he provided in 1973, the last decade starts to make a lot more sense. In Trump's first term there was the war against Confederate monuments. In 2020, Trump lost the election to Joe Biden, who, as Trump accuses just as Nixon accused Kennedy, committed election theft. There have been not completely unfounded accusations of ballot stuffing by the Chicago mafia and Johnny Roselli for the Kennedy candidate in 1960 on behalf of their old bootlegging colleague Joe Kennedy. No matter what happened, one of Biden's first decisions was the closing of the Keystone pipeline, a decision Trump would reverse in his second term. There was also the bombing of Russia's Nord Stream pipeline and the proxy war in Ukraine; Biden's administration was marked by hostility towards the Texas oil industry, green energy divestments, and a pro-European vision. But Biden would be ousted by Kamala Harris and Trump, just like Johnson in 1964, would run on an anti-war message and win. In just a year, Trump has destroyed America's relationship with Europe over threats towards Greenland, insults to leaders, tariffs, and so on. But most of all is his current foreign policy. Trump has set his sights on three countries, all of which are related to each other. This war in Iran threatens Yankee oil companies most of all; it destroys the stability and MAD doctrine that America has kept in the Middle East starting with Obama. ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips, despite being based in Texas now but originally from New Jersey and New York, are facing major losses due to this war. There has been confusion over this war, oil profits, and the energy stability of the world is threatened, so what could be the use of this war ? The answer lies in Venezuela. Chevron, a Cowboy oil company, now has a sole monopoly over Venezuelan oil, the largest reserve in the world, but some of the dirtiest. The Iran war is partially a war over oil domination in America, Cowboy oil beating out Yankee oil. But this is only partially the answer; the Cowboys benefit greatly from Trump's aggressive policy not only because of oil domination but also because of their arms industry. With a $1.5 trillion defense budget, they will replace every interceptor, every bomb, and every F-15 that is used. So Trump has done what Nixon had done; his policy is directly attacking the basis of Yankee power. Trump has gone too far, and the Epstein files being released is the main way in which he is being punished. But why now ? What has started this second Yankee-Cowboy war ? The rise of the third center of power in America, the technocrats of California, is the answer. This is also where the Israelis come in, with AI technology being integrated with weapons of war, and the Jewish heritage and Zionism of many technocrats, an alliance was formed that disrupted the balance of power.
The Technocrats: A Third Power Center
The Technocrats are the newest faction that grew out of the Cowboy outpost of California; Silicon Valley of San Francisco is world-renowned for its technical business. AI like ChatGPT, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and many others. Both the Yankee and Cowboy establishments had a hand in creating this third power; Peter Thiel, CEO of Palantir, got his start with Sullivan & Cromwell, a big law firm that Allen and John Dulles got their starts in; Palantir was also founded by the CIA shell company Q-tell. Because both the intelligence agencies like the CIA and the defense industry integrate AI into their techniques and weapon systems, the technocrats could be said to have gathered enough power to split off on their own, separate from the Cowboys and the Yankees. Who are they ? What are their goals ? And how do they influence our current situation ? It is no secret that Trump, while being closely aligned with the Cowboy class, is a representative of the Technocratic class. His 2024 inauguration had thirty-three CEOs and other major figures of Silicon Valley sitting directly behind him. It is this influence and backing that explains the influence of the Israelis on Trump; Palantir's Chief Executive Officer, the Jew Alex Karp, along with the CEO Peter Thiel, held a conference in Tel Aviv and began a close partnership with Israel during its war in Gaza. The Business and Human Rights Center quotes Alex Karp and his defense of this support. Karp says:
"If the West didn't have "real adversaries," Karp said he'd be one of the people trying to contain AI's use in the military. "But the reality of our life now, as Israel knows, is our adversaries are real, dangerous and they go so far outside the norms of behavior." Last year Palantir unveiled its AIP, or Artificial Intelligence Platform, which can serve as an aid in battlefield intelligence and decision-making, including analyzing enemy targets and proposing battle plans. In an analyst call, the company said Israel is using its new Palantir Government Web Services."
Other major technocrats such as Larry Ellison, the oligarch media mogul and CEO of the tech giant Oracle, and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, are both Jews and assist Israel with utilizing its AI tools for its war and military planning. Oracle even proudly proclaims on its website that it "stands with Israel" and has been building data centers for them. This is the missing piece of the war in Iran; the technocrats benefit from the deep ties with the Israeli security state because of Israel's aggressive domestic and foreign policy. But more than that is the fact that Israel has a dual foreign policy agenda; first is to create Greater Israel in the Middle East, the hegemon of the region. The second stems from the simple fact that Israel is a leader of tech startups, ranking third globally for innovation, and that's the key. Israel seeks to use the technocrats of California, of America, to turn the United States into a captive market. America had done the same when its financiers and industrialists funded the rise of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, leading to American engineers building entire towns in the Soviet Union and companies like Ford Motor to build massive plants like Gorky Automotive. These bankers and industrialists welcomed and even funded socialism worldwide so as to stifle innovation and competition before such concepts can take form in reality. Professor Anthony Sutton, in his book "Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution," gives an analysis of Wall Street bankers resembling that of the modern day (P.173):
"So the simplest explanation of our evidence is that a syndicate of Wall Street financiers enlarged their monopoly ambitions and broadened horizons on a global scale. The gigantic Russian market was to be converted into a captive market and a technical colony to be exploited by a few high powered American financiers and corporations under their control. () This handful of bankers and promoters were not Bolshevik, or communist, or socialist, or even American. Above all else these men wanted markets, preferably captive international markets. They wanted markets that could be exploited monopolistically without fear of competition from Russians, Germans, or anyone else, including American businessmen outside of the Charmed circle."
This is the Yankee-Cowboy war in the modern day, with the Cowboy classes aligning themselves with a foreign power. The Cowboys, gaining the biggest oil reserve in the world in Venezuela and a direct line to a trillion-dollar defense budget, have no problem assisting Israel in this. Israel, using the technocrats as one arm of its own state, seeks to turn America into a technical colony, a captive market to be exploited by a few men who can assist in turning Israel into the dominant power in the Middle East. The pro-European and globalist Yankee class fights back in the way it has done before. Trump is sure to lose the midterms; the Epstein files will be his Watergate; he will not finish his second term as president. Trump knows this, just as surely as he knows that he will fail in Iran; the liberal technique of regime change has proven to be a failure. It has also shown the world that even acting like a gangster and killing countries leaders and schoolchildren is an ineffective tactic. Trump will have no choice but cut and run from Iran or else face the total collapse of America's influence in the Middle East. This would turn Israel, and therefore the technocrats, against Trump and bring about JD Vance, who has close ties to Palantir to the presidency. But whether Trump leaves in resignation or in a casket, depends on Cuba and the Cowboy class.
Intermission- Mapping the Conflict
As of now, the framework, the main factions, and their goals have been covered. But this conflict expands into multiple arenas that may be confusing if a brief intermission isn't called in order to lay out the process of how they will be written. Each arena belongs to a faction and a situation that faces the modern day. First, the Yankee flight south, the current process of Northerners, in particular skilled labor and their migration to Southern states; this is a tactic of the Yankees against the Cowboys. Second, Cuba, Trump's final stop in his "Donroe Doctrine" mission, an island with dark secrets that could mean the death of another president. Third, the crisis of sovereignty left behind by organized crime and how Israel benefited. And finally, the blackmail web and its inevitability in any structure of power.
Unwanted Dignitaries- Yankee Flight South
The main counterargument that can be used against this whole theory is the interconnectedness and seeming partnerships between each faction. After all, Yankee oil, like ExxonMobil, is based in Texas now; Larry Ellison's Oracle company is based in Memphis, Tennessee, and, of course, the CIA seems to work with everyone to further the goals of an empire. All this represents is diplomacy between factions; a businessman can send an accountant to a peer one year for a partnership and a lawyer in the next for a lawsuit. Just as countries send ambassadors to friendly and unfriendly countries as well to discuss joint interests and to spy. This works in the world of factions, the Technocrats could therefore be said to have an embassy in Tennessee with Oracle, the Cowboys have Chevron in California, and the Yankee CIA acting as an intermediary between all factions. This is best seen with the Bush family, a prominent Yankee family who became "transplant Cowboys." Prescott Bush, George HW Bush, and George W. Bush all attended Yale University and were a part of the Skull and Bones Society. Prescott Bush, father of George HW. Bush was a partner of the Wall Street bank Brown Brothers Harriman and would assist his son in creating the Zapata Offshore oil company with the help of people like Thomas Levine, a CIA officer. The connections Bush would make among the Cowboy class in the build-up to the Bay of Pigs due to his proximity to Cuba at his Cay Sal oil rig and Marathon, Florida headquarters, would become essential for him in the future of his political career. It is through these kinds of means that the Yankee-Cowboy war toned down after the resignation of Nixon and a more stable time in the 1980s that the Californian Reagan and the transplant Cowboy Bush would bring. In 2026 however, this diplomatic channel, whether intentionally or not, was weaponized by the Yankees. Northern states, such as New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Illinois, have seen migration of their skilled labor to southern states. Mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, and all other types of blue-collar workers have made their way to four states in particular: Tennessee, Florida, the Carolinas, and Texas. Organizations like Blue Collar Talent Scouts in Texas advocate for Northern labor to escape the high taxes of the North and come down South, their website claims:
"The Carolinas aren't just about beaches and booming industry-they are about quality of life. For HVAC techs and Electricians, North and South Carolina offer a perfect storm: lower cost of living compared to the north, booming pay rates, and-let's just be honest-the best BBQ in the country (sorry, Texas)."
"We recruit heavily in Texas because the opportunities are endless. Whether it's commercial refrigeration or residential plumbing, the Texas market is hungry for talent. No state income tax + high demand for trades = more money in your pocket every Friday. And while the BBQ might come in second place to Carolina, the paychecks certainly don't.
"In many northern states, the "slow season" can kill your bank account. In Arizona, especially for HVAC pros, the work never stops. If you want job security that lasts 12 months a year, the desert is calling."
Northern tradesmen are already well acquainted with what they see as a superior culture, country music, trucks, and Republican politics; they see the South as a promised land. The Connecticut Department of Labor and the Yankee Institute reported the extreme losses of Connecticut labor to other states, 548,000 between 1991 and 2020, and an extra 20,000 in a January 2026 report. Meanwhile, Tennessee has seen 15,000 new residents in 2025, just from California. This influx of non-Southern labor will change these states; despite having a love for Southern culture, the Yankee and urban mindset will come to dominate the native population. These new residents will have no love for the poorer native residents in small towns, trailer parks, and elsewhere that the Yankees will stereotype of being "less than." This strategy has two steps: first this labor is being relocated to the richest and most desirable Southern states, strongholds for the Cowboy class it can be said. Northern labor will expand the scope of the economy; these states will see an increase in industrialization, wealth, jobs, and centralization. This will create something similar to Malaysia, where the Chinese immigrants hold a vast amount of economic power compared to the native Malayans. But this is not the main point; it is important to remember that skilled, technical labor in the United States is an anti-revolutionary force. Their highest ideal is money; they will refuse to partake in any active movement because that costs time, and time means money. So Mussolini, Trotsky, and other revolutionaries who used skilled labor to capture the technical state will not find a home in America as they will simply be told to get a job. In any case, this mindset will prevent a fourth power from growing in the American South, instead this will allow for the other type of Yankee to penetrate the South. The Al Dunlaps, the Wall Street financers and swindlers who gutted American industry in the previous decades, will now have new ground. The new industry, eager to profit, will be more than happy to cut their businesses down, shrinking the economy as the coffers of these wealthy Southern states enter into the Northeast.
Yankee power does not stem from its industry or skilled labor, but from its media, banks, law firms, intelligence masters like Allen Dulles, and their globalist institutions like the IMF, World Bank, and NATO. This is seen in the modern day; media establishments attack Trump's war in Iran, openly calling it a failure and releasing reports of Pentagon and intelligence officials who went against Trump's plan, a complete difference compared to the media's coverage of the Iraq War. This fight against Trump and his backers is seen in the general sentiment of young people as well; they've had masters of propaganda like Edward Bernays to learn from. The rise of antisemitism, as talked about in part one with Stalin and Trotsky, stems from Yankee influence. They fight the Cowboys through migration; European countries deny Trump access to their air bases to fight his war, and to make sure that the technocrats and their Jewish allies in Israel lose their support in Congress, antisemitism must be kindled. But this can only be blamed on them. It's obvious that this is the first time the Technocrats, and therefore the Israelis, have had their guy in the White House; Trump is their Lyndon Johnson. Thirty-three power brokers sat behind him in the inauguration. They share Jewish last names, serve a Jewish state, and lobby politicians through an exclusive Jewish lobby; their hubris alone is to blame when Trump becomes the last representative that is this friendly to them.
The Cuba Thing- 64 Years Later
While people have coined Trump's world movements against Venezuela and Iran as the "Donroe Doctrine," this name is just a formality to give Trump some type of legacy. The fight in Latin America against Venezuela and soon Cuba, is a part of an older fight the Cowboys undertook in the early days of the Cold War. Unlike the Yankees, whose power comes in the form of long-lasting institutions that go beyond one executive and can span decades in one region, the Cowboys are inherently entrepreneurial. Their mindset is based in anti-European sentiment; they do not seek empire or covertness like the Yankees; they demand direct action through force to make profit. This has been the Cowboy oligarch's policy since the early Cold War. Seeing the post-war situation in Europe as a Yankee project between old allies, they turned their eyes to the frontiers of Asia and Latin America, in particular Cuba and Vietnam. But both of these early adventures failed miserably for America; the effects of Vietnam had changed the entire culture of the United States, the way people think, dress, and act. But it was the "Cuba thing" or the "Bay of Pigs thing" that Nixon had spoken about in his Smoking Gun tape in 1972 that changed the entire system in America. The failure of the American government to overthrow Castro, for reasons covered in Part One, sent such a shock through the American system that it caused two presidents, Kennedy and Nixon, to fall. It was also in Cuba that showed the presidency for what it really is, and that is all too obvious today. Carl Oglesby explains in his lecture:
"We no longer see the president as a monarch with complete power over the bureaucracy, unbendingly loyal to him. No matter who he is, we see the president as something more like the president of a big company. He has the same kind of problems the president of a big company would have. There are problems of internal fractionating, there are problems of coordinating various parts of the bureaucracies, there are problems of keeping the party together. () If we understand the president as a corporate executive, subject to internal pressures, violent pressures, on his office, then the presidency begins to clarify to us."
So why is there a renewed interest in Latin America and specifically Cuba ? The presidents since Kennedy have left Cuba alone for the last sixty-four years since the Bay of Pigs. Any president since could have waged war and tried to conquer Cuba again, the anti-communist Reagan. Bush or Clinton could've invaded since the Soviet Union had collapsed. Even George W. Bush could've included this little island ninety miles off the coast of Florida in his axis of evil. But none dared to touch Cuba until the second Trump presidency. It is obvious that the Cowboy class now wishes to resume its frontier campaign, and Cuba and Venezuela in particular are lucrative. First, both countries have historically had incredibly friendly governments before their socialist revolutions removed them. Both countries have been tied to drug trafficking by elements of the United States government, the French Connection in Cuba, and Venezuela in 1993, where the DEA agent Annabelle Grim became the first federal agent to publicly accuse a CIA station chief, James Campell, of working with a foreign government and cartels to smuggle drugs into America. This is why there are attacks against Venezuela and now Cuba specifically; it is not about stopping drug trafficking or even about dominating the hemisphere. If either of these were the case, Mexico should be first on the list for both. The Cowboy class, wanting to escape the contracting American system, is escaping further South to expand their scope of wealth and influence. Taking Cuba would also allow them to escape American institutions like the DoJ, FBI, and IRS. Anthony Sutton explained this in his Bolshevik Revolution book: financiers, bankers, and industrialists, are all fans of monopoly and big government. Although the Cowboys are not international bankers like the Yankees, their companies will greatly benefit in the same way (p.173):
"International finance prefers to deal with central governments. The last thing the banking community wants is a laissez-faire economy and decentralized power because these would disperse power."
So instead of dealing with Mexico, their government, and their numerous cartels who are sovereigns in their own right with their own political and economic system, centralized authorities are far more preferable, especially if they're socialist. But the outcome of Trump's final stop in Cuba could arguably have a bigger effect on the system than the war in Iran. If Trump fails, this would mean losing the confidence of the Cowboy class; this would mean every faction in the United States would now be against him: Technocrat, Cowboy, and Yankee. Just as a corporate executive is voted out by a board of directors, President Trump will face much of the same, and while the Yankee establishment will see impeachment or resignation as good enough, the Technocrats and Cowboys have proved themselves to be unflinching on the use of violence to get their way; this could explain Trump's devout, and many times illogical, decisions and claims on his war in Iran. But if Trump succeeds, and Cuba falls and once again becomes a friendly government, the future of the island will be the same as it was under Batista. After World War Two, in 1946, the National Crime Syndicate, headed by Charles "Lucky" Luciano and Meyer Lansky, hosted a summit of organized crime heads to invest in the island. In the book "Mogul of the Mob" (p.90) the mobster Joseph Statcher explains how Lanksy brought suitcases of money for Batista; Batista just "stared at the money without saying a word. Shook hands, and left." Cuba would not only become a hub of gambling, resorts, and nightclubs, but became an important middle ground for organized crime and the security state to work together. Cuba was once a hub for drug trafficking known as the French Connection. In short, poppy fields in Indochina and Turkey were sent to drug labs in Sicily and France; these would then be shipped from the southern French city of Marseilles, where the Corsican mafia owned the dock union. The heroin was then sent to drug labs in Cuba owned by Florida mobster Santo Trafficante, who would cut it with sugar, send it to mob-owned docks in New York, and where it would be distributed to Harlem and later through Jimmy Hoffa's truckers union. The money would then be used by CIA man Paul Helliwell and Meyer Lansky to fund projects in Europe such as the election theft in Italy and France.
But can Cuba survive Trump's assault, in whatever form it takes ? This is completely dependent on the leadership of Cuba. While the American system seems to have forgotten what Cuba had done to the American system, it remains to be seen if the Cuban leaders know how to do this once again. If President Canel is a Gorbachev-type of figure, a reformist, Cuba will collapse. When the first protesters appear, and he and his cabinet simply call on the population to come out in a counter protest like Pavlov, Yazof, and Kryuchkov did in the Soviet Union in 1991, they will fail. But if they disperse the protestors, arrest the ring leaders, and fight like Marxists, like Castro or Stalin, Cuba will survive. Because as discussed in Part One, liberal tactics cannot defeat Marxist tactics. All of this remains to be seen, but whether Trump succeeds or fails in Cuba will mean lasting consequences for the United States, not least a reinvigoration of organized crime as a fourth power.
The War Against Cosa Nostra: The Vacuum of Sovereignty
Throughout the first Yankee-Cowboy war, there was a third power that played a special role in the American system; they filled the vacuum of sovereignty inherent in all liberal societies. Organized crime is not only inevitable in liberal countries but essential. The emphasis on the judicial system in these societies, ineffective bureaucracies, police restrictions and jury trials, all create a gap between the factions in the American system. When the law fails a man, he will go to someone outside of the state, another sovereign, to deliver justice. The Mafia played not only this role, which took weight off of the judicial system, as problems were handled internally instead of on the taxpayer dime, but also in security, as seen in Operation Gladio, where the American, Sicilian, and Corsican mob worked with the CIA in ensuring unions lost control over key technical industries like docks and lost their elections, as seen with PCI in Italy. But these types of criminal organizations are believed to have been all but exterminated, with many just assuming the modern mafia stays hidden and controls small rackets and legal businesses. This is true; organized crime, the American Cosa Nostra, has been thoroughly destroyed by law enforcement over the past forty years. But this has left a vacuum of power in the United States, and three sub-factions have grown out of this vacuum. First are the Latin and Black street gangs, with the biggest gangs having chapters in nearly every American city, and they have proven resilient against American law enforcement, seeing as some of these gangs are over seventy years old. The second are the non-white enclaves now found in American cities; Somali criminals have already defrauded the state of Minneapolis for billions of dollars, their religious leaders decrees are above the law and settle disputes, they have representatives in Congress, and they have proven resilient, being able to defeat ICE and the full force of the American system. Finally, there are the city governments who have taken on the role of extortion and criminality organized crime might've partaken in. New and ever-expanding forms of taxation, speed cameras, police targeting of commercial vehicles, and, of course, crimes like bribery and racketeering are now being done by mayors, councilmen, police chiefs, and department heads. But none of these factions have been able to fill the gap left by Cosa Nostra, and even now the remnants of this society are still allowed to control vital points in the technical state. Harold Dagget, the head of the Longshoreman's Dock union, has been accused of having close ties with the Genovese crime family. He was also against the Yankee president Joe Biden and threatened to "cripple the economy" in 2024.
Meanwhile other unions, which are disconnected from the technical state, such as the teachers, nurses, and musicians unions, are filled with communists, minorities, and women. So why did the American system crush organized crime when it played such a vital role in the early Cold War, so important that J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI refused to recognize the existence of organized crime until 1957 ? The most likely answer is that the Yankee establishment got tired of the Mafia's influence and may have felt threatened as they drifted out of the Northeast and into the Southwest and West, into New Orleans, Nevada, and California. The Mafia, like the other factions, sent their own dignitaries during the 1940s and 1950s around the country; members of the Chicago Mafia, like Jack Ruby, would move to Dallas, and Johnny Roselli to LA. The American author Whitney Webb in her book "One Nation Under Blackmail" explains that this allowed criminal organizations to grow out of control:
"Organzied crime, so associated with the American Northeast, found a remarkable range of new opportunities in the Southern rim, thus propelling these networks to previously inconceivable heights."
Between their expanding power and their supposed connection to the death of Kennedy, the Yankee establishment began a long war against these organizations. Corporations would take over Las Vegas in the 1980s, RICO laws took down major crime bosses like John Gotti, and new surveillance techniques would destroy this intermediary third power. The war against Cosa Nostra showed the Yankee establishment as an incredibly powerful faction; what they lack in money is gained in power and influence in their institutions and ability to wage a decades-long war. The American Cosa Nostra is also to blame for the rise of the Technocratic, and therefore Israeli, power in modern America. The newly created Jewish state of Israel in 1948 was able to use organized crime as a bridge into the American system. Influential Jews in America were able to be exploited by this new state to tap into their political and economic connections, to include the secrets of the system. Jewish lawyers like Roy Cohn, intellectuals like Henry Kissinger, and major crime figures like the Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky were all well connected in the American system. This relationship would begin almost immediately following World War Two, as Israelis sought to get around the U.S. arms embargo it had on Israel. In the essay "Gangsters for Zion," Robert Rockway explains how Ben Gurion and Yehuda Arazi approached the American mafia, saying:
"At this time, the U.S. government maintained an arms embargo against Israel and the Middle East. But Egypt and the Arab countries managed to avoid the embargo and get weapons. Arazi learned that the Mafia controlled the port of New York, and he had no scruples about contacting underworld figures. He approached Meyer Lansky and asked him to help get weapons loaded onto ships bound for Israel. Lansky said he would handle it. Lansky contacted Albert Anastasia and Joe Adonis, who controlled the longshoremen's union and the docks. They helped Israeli agents conceal the arms purchased for Israel, while arms bound for Egypt mysteriously fell overboard. Illegal consignments of military hardware, some of it brand new and still packed in oil and straw, were then secreted onto ships that happened to be bound for Israel."
Israel would later return the favor to Lanskey, as he would hide in Israel from 1970 to 1972 to avoid charges of tax evasion in the United States, although he would eventually be deported. With this vacuum of power in the United States, the future of Cuba, and the contracting American system, organized crime will make a comeback in America. After the fall of the Soviet Union, oligarchs and the Russian mafia would take advantage of the failing liberal system; America will be no different.
The World Wide Blackmail Web
The final piece of the American system, a piece that cannot be avoided, is the presence of blackmail rings like the one controlled by Jeffery Epstein. When talking about this network, it is important to remember two things: first, the existence of blackmail is inevitable in circles of power no matter the form of government; second, despite all the fighting between the factions in previous decades up until the modern day, they're all acquaintances to the same system. Jeffery Epstein had worked as a teacher at the Dalton School and was hired by Donald Barr, father of William Barr, who would serve as Attorney General for Donald Trump during Epstein's ongoing case. Avery Dulles, son of Secretary of State John Dulles and nephew to CIA director Allen Dulles, would become a cardinal in the Catholic Church. And of course Roy Cohn, lawyer and mentor to Donald Trump, would be intimately involved in the Blue Suite, a club that included some of the most powerful figures in America, which included crime figures like Lewis Rosenstiel, J. Edgar Hoover, and New York Bishop Spellman. Susan Kaufmann, wife of Rosentiel, would claim in a 1990 interview that the Blue Suite apartment parties included acts of homosexuality, orgies, and cross-dressing among these major figures. This allowed other members of the system like Meyer Lansky and CIA operative James Jesus Angleton to blackmail Hoover and these other figures. The major difference with Epstein, however, was the fact that he was an Israeli asset, and the biggest problem when discussing this case is the mystification of the Jews. Understand that the Jews of Israel did not only exploit Jewish American figures with power; they also exploited the post-war order. They were able to use the Holocaust and the mythos surrounding World War Two to get their way for decades, which included attaching themselves to the ongoing conflict between North and South, Yankee and Cowboy, and blackmail networks like Blue Suite and capitalizing on it. It's for this reason that the assumption that it is Israel blackmailing Trump and leaking Epstein's emails is incorrect.
Systems of blackmail exist as a two-way street; the dark secrets of major figures in the system are known by other members and vice versa, which ensures mutually assured destruction. It also creates a sense of loyalty to the system and each other, where Donald Trump will defend Bill Clinton because he was called to Congress to speak about his involvement with Epstein. It is the Yankee establishment that continues to push the release of Epstein's emails and testimonies of victims, even though they are just as complicit. The war against Yankee oil in the Middle East and the trans-Atlantic alliance are reason enough for them to do whatever is necessary to get the Cowboy and Technocratic establishments out of the White House. This is ultimately the best way to break the power of Israel over the United States: constant subversion. The power of the Catholic Church was eroded this way through events like the Protestant Reformation and the age of Enlightenment, and the post-World War Two consensus destroyed the Church's authority. To finally conclude that this is a Yankee strategy is to look at the strategy of European powers and their experience in conducting such subversion. Major Frank Kiston, a British intelligence officer who developed effective tactics to defeat the Mau Mau rebellion, actively used subversion to erode the Mau Mau authority, in particular the Mau Mau oath, which had frightened and inspired the local African population. He says in "Gangs and Countergangs" (p. 130):
"The first idea that crossed my mind was to fight against the evil with such reserves of good or religious spirit. This would certainly seem to have been the "school solution" as all the parsons and missionaries were constantly harping on it. However there were two snags: first, it is exhausting to fight spiritually, I wanted to conserve my energies for something useful. Second, by making a clear-cut division between good and evil I should be raising a barrier between myself and the loyalists on one side, and the terrorists on the other. This would make it more difficult to trust them and work with them, not less so.
This oath was subverted, and by this extension, the authority of the Mau Mau. This is happening with the World War Two mythology; because of the aggressiveness of the Israelis, there was no choice but to pull back the veil. Within a year, Holocaust denial is mainstream, Hitler is no longer considered the most evil leader in history, and Jews have lost their mythos. The Yankee establishment has exposed the Israeli state for what it is, a nation willing to kill men, women, and children to further its goals, a subversive nation that blackmails Western politicians through pedophile rings like the one run by Epstein and Maxwell; they have simply been brought down to reality. But Epstein is only a secondary problem; there will always be a presence of blackmail systems wherever power finds itself. Furthermore, Epstein is dead, and it is unlikely anyone in his files will be persecuted, but with the destruction of the post-war consensus, a new consensus will have to be created.
Conclusion
The problem will only continue to get worse in America as it steadily declines in economic power and on the world stage, but the solution is one already predestined. With the destruction of the post-war consensus, a new myth will have to be established; the world cannot be renewed without suffering and instability. America is already in the beginnings of this era; the sovereignty crisis in America and the factions and the vacuum of power in between will have to be brought to heel before any progress can be made, before an age of stability can occur. As long as the presidency remains that of a corporate executive subject to a board of directors of billionaires and lobbyists, the problem will never be fixed. It is either the president serves the billionaires and bureaucrats or the billionaires and bureaucrats serve him. This question was decided in Russia when Putin made the oligarchs decide between serving him or facing imprisonment; even China will at times purge its billionaires and politicians. While advocates can shout the need for Misesian principles or Marx's revolution or argue for a Catholic society, nothing of the sort can effectively be implemented without a purge of America's factions and the liberal society. This is the likely outcome; the American people are anti-revolutionary, and the technical state is all but impossible to penetrate without years of violence and consistency from leaders. It will have to be a man from the inside to do all of this; the Yankee institutions are the most likely to accomplish this. In the meantime, these factions will continue to fight and strip whatever they can from the country and the world. But in the end, ordinary people will suffer the costs and consequences but will nevertheless trust these factions to the bitter end. And that's that.
