TRUMP NAMED THEM: The Real "Foreign Interests"
Promethean Updates ^ | 2/21/2026 | Susan Kokinda

Posted on 02/21/2026 4:47:59 PM PST by cuz1961

Trump’s response to the Supreme Court tariff ruling points beyond China to “foreign interests” tied to the British Empire's Adam Smith free-trade ideology, defended by the US Chamber of Commerce and Cato Institute. She cites Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Ambassador Jamieson Greer framing the administration’s approach as Hamiltonian economic sovereignty, and says tariffs will continue under other laws, including a new 10% global tariff. She contrasts this with Thursday’s Board of Peace meeting, where 60 nations backed “peace through construction,” funding housing, security, and development, rejecting Kissinger-style managed conflict. She warns midterm demoralization risks ending Trump’s agenda.

I really like Susan Kokinda but she seems to tie everything back to the British for our problems. However, her reasoning is well thought out and usually makes sense. I like listening to her.

the British Empire's Adam Smith free-trade ideology....

You could criticize unlimited free trade without attaching it to Adam Smith's name. But I guess capitalism has become a dirty word now to many, so any chance to slam the father of capitalism isn't to be missed.

Depressing that such an attitude is celebrated here.

A very interesting talk. DJT is so far ahead, the fossils in our present system can’t keep up. God help us with the mid-terms and with 2028. Most people are uniformed, or stupid.

Capitalism a dirty word to many in America? Did we lose the Cold War? Is Nikita laughing at us? Surely.....

its not free trade that’s being criticized. great Britan is free to do what it wants and the United States is free to do what it wants. the fact that some think tariffs are evil thing is maddening. tariffs are a tool that if used properly benifit the country and capitalism

For perspective, this presentation is reflective of La Rouche’s philosophy. I’m not saying Ms. Kokinda is wrong about British banking and Globalists, but her presentation is short on specifics beyond the general observation that the government has an obligation to American workers, whose product has been loaded with a bureaucratic overhead meant to impoverish domestic production.

18th Century economic theories do not hold up in the age of jet travel and MMT. Even free trade requires reciprocity.

I think she is referring to an imperialist system that keeps us fighting each other, promotes perpetual war instead of a more constructive system that builds instead of destroys. She blames this system on Kissinger. It’s an old system originally devised by the Bank of England and the East India Co. She thinks it was the Chamber of Commerce and the Cato Institute behind this SCOTUS ruling in an attempt to strike down the tariffs. Interesting talk. Will need think more on it.

I had watched the video. She’ll have to come up with more evidence to hang the policy on Kissinger (although I don’t need any convincing as to how evil that SOB was). LBJ was playing it before him.

We could have done better than “Mutually Assured Destruction” and Reagan surely did.

I bet George Washington understood it all. Somebody’s always making money off of other people’s misery.
