It’s back on track. I don’t know if you remember it, but last year I hypothesized that the Trump administration would focus their attention on a North/South axis of power… and less on an East/West. Part of this is down to the fact the US Military is stretched globally, and […]
On June 13, 2025, Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran—an assault that would later become known as the 12-Day War. It began with an attempted decapitation strike aimed at the Iranian leadership. Dozens of senior generals and officials were killed. The US and Israel hoped this would trigger the […]
Canada is often portrayed as a land of freedom, opportunity, and prosperity. Reality, however, tells a different story. Statist policies, crushing taxes, bloated bureaucracy, and a society overtaken by woke ideology have shattered Canada. This is a cautionary tale for those looking at Canada as an ideal living space. If […]
In the east, the Roman Empire generally ended where the Persian Empire began. Unlike most other nation states in the Middle East, Iran (known as Persia before 1935) is not an artificial construct. By race, religion, and social history, it is a nation. European bureaucrats didn’t dream up Iran by […]

What do you think drove Thiel to pour big money into launching the political career of someone virtually unknown to the public? Doug Casey: I’m innately […]

Stephen Miran’s appointment to the Federal Reserve isn’t just another personnel move—it’s the placement of Trump’s Reset architect inside the very institution that will help carry out America’s most ambitious economic overhaul in generations. If you’re still unfamiliar with what Trump’s Reset entails, I strongly recommend checking out Matt Smith’s […]
International Man: What is the role of a justice system in a society, and what should the State have to do with it? Doug Casey: In my view, what really holds a society together isn’t the laws enacted by legislatures or dictators, but peer pressure, social opprobrium, and moral approbation. […]
Recently, I wrote to you about how Trump had found “the perfect opening” to reshape the Federal Reserve when Governor Adriana Kugler unexpectedly resigned. What I didn’t expect was how perfectly this would confirm everything we’ve been tracking about Trump’s Reset. Trump didn’t just fill that vacant Fed seat with any […]
International Man: Recently, we’ve seen the “Yellow Peril” escalate across media and politics. What’s your take on the sentiment towards China? Doug Casey: There’s always been a fear of China, perhaps starting with the immigration of laborers to California in the 1860s, then Sax Rohmer’s Fu Manchu novels. It’s logical enough. China […]
