Cut Off The Head Of The Snake

Susan Kokinda analyzes U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s remarks to Larry Kudlow about tracking IRGC assets, focusing on offshore hubs like the British Virgin Islands and the broader British-linked financial architecture behind shell companies, alongside Treasury’s campaign warning 60 entities to clean up, with Hong Kong a major target.

She argues this financial offensive is part of a strategic realignment away from imperial “choke points,” echoed by Doug Burgum’s call to shift global energy focus toward the Western Hemisphere.

In the Middle East, she highlights lifted U.S. sanctions on Syria, the formation of the Mecca Joint Defense Alliance (Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan), and Trump’s “Board of Peace,” under which Hamas has agreed to disarm. She also covers G20 tensions over inviting Russia’s finance minister, Bessent’s meeting with him, and Bessent’s claim of shared U.S.-China goals on Iran. Here’s more from Promethean Updates.

The Suppression Of Hong Kong

China Uncensored’s Chris Chappell says the Chinese Communist Party is brilliant in its own twisted, evil way. “Nowhere is that more clear than the takeover of Hong Kong,” he says.

Chappell says Hong Kong was to have a policy of one country, two systems and enjoy the freedoms that no other region of China possesses. Unfortunately, that didn’t go over well with the CCP, which then moved to impose what they call the Hong Kong Great Replacement Theory.

It’s something that the CCP did in Tibet, Mongolia and Xinjiang. And Taiwan is next. Chappell digs into the details and more.

Jimmy Lai Vs. The CCP

John Stossel reports on the story of multi-billionaire Jimmy Lai, who dared to take on the Chinese Communist Party. But when the CCP tyrants crushed his country of Hong Kong’s freedom, Lai spoke out against them and it landed him in jail.
