Our Saturday Wrap Up analyzes a big, turbulent week. There were "events" and psyops. The character of them all lies in the confrontation between a dying oligarchic regime and the new American republic being born. The regime is using terrorism, war, and other means to try to kill the baby.
Recent terror attacks are NOT isolated cases, and more could be coming. But amidst the chaos and uncertainty, it's essential to keep our eyes on the prize: a MAGA future. It's crucial to remember that the incoming Trump administration represents a seismic shift in the global power dynamics.
5 Industries Reshaping America's Future, 2 Are Currently Failing
In today's report we cover some industries which clearly show the distinction between American methods of political economy and the looting which accompanies the British Imperial methodology.

How Predatory and Short-Term Thinking Has Been Killing Leading Automakers
It's an injustice to refer to the American System of Political Economy as simply "Capitalism." Every society or economy produces some profit, or capital.
The question is what you do with it?
In today's report, we cover some industries which clearly show the distinction between American System methods and the looting which accompanies the British Imperial methodology.
If you haven't already read it, make sure to read Bob Ingraham's post here:
New Glenn to Launch on Jan. 6 and Starship/Superheavy on Jan. 10
Blue Origin's New Glenn, with its reusable first stage, is likely to fly on its first test flight on January 6th. The seventh test flight of the SpaceX Starship/Superheavy rocket is likely to take place on January 10th.
The first flight of the Sierra Space Dream Chaser spaceplane is scheduled for no earlier than May. And, the first flight of the European Space Agency's Space Rider spaceplane is expected in the second half of the year.
Lots of engineering development, exploration, and progress will become more visible in 2025.
Fusion: Feds Still Failing to Fund Necessary Infrastructure
In this interview, the head of the Fusion Industry Association compares Chinese and American work towards bringing fusion power to the grid and gives a good status report.
While American private industry is doing great things, the strangulation of U.S. federal investment into fusion research undermines the breakout potential of the private initiatives. Federal investment into fusion research must become a priority of the second Trump administration.
The Current Status of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors in the US
Professor Ruzic gives a good overview of the current status of the first 2 small modular reactor (SMR) projects in the United States. The new administration will be working to massively step up the pace of deployment for all SMR systems, as well as the large reactors, such as the Westinghouse AP1000 reactors recently put into service in Georgia and China. We need to move to double and triple electricity production to power the revitalization of our industrial superpower status.
What and Who is Killing U.S. Steel?
Before President Trump resumes office, the current occupants of the White House must decide on the proposed buyout of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel.
U.S. Steel claims that without injections of capital from Nippon, it would be forced into waves of closures and layoffs. Of course, part of U.S. Steel's trouble is simply a reflection of collapsing American production as a whole. But there is also the Imperial looting policy which is displayed in its willful disregard for the necessity of R&D and capital investment, in favor of dividends to shareholders.
Assuming that the current occupants turn down the buyout (which is likely, but not certain) the Trump administration must ensure that competent leadership takes charge of U.S. Steel and that capital is made available to construct new plants using the most advanced steelmaking technologies.
In June, we reported on the work by MIT and Boston Metal on such technologies. There is also exciting work going on in this area in China. Unlike the "cement-heads" at U.S. Steel, Chinese scientists took American ideas and ran with them.
How Predatory and Short-Term Thinking Has Been Killing Leading Automakers
As with government, foreign policy, banking, education, steel, aerospace, etc., the domination of society by Wall Street/City of London professional administrators/managers has been leading most established automakers to collapse.
While the author of this video exhibits some mistaken assumptions about electrification in the automotive world, his video is the best overview documentation that I've seen regarding the ongoing collapse of auto industry titans.
As with the revolutionary changes in the Federal Government, most of the current "leadership" of established automotive companies should be replaced by actual engineering and production people.
To Make America Great Again, we'll have to replace most of the leadership of what physical economist Lyndon LaRouche once called the "Make Anything Industry," and reverse the disastrous consequences of the Biden/Harris administration.
Rebuild the USA: The Trump Presidency and Beyond
After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way?
In last week's class we discussed the principles of Hamiltonian National Banking. This Saturday Robert Ingraham will present an outline of how we can apply those principles today.
The second Trump Presidency is less than 30 days away, but the physical economy is already being reorganized to rise up to the demands that the new Trump Presidency will place upon it.
