Do you think once the city of London has been taken out of the equation things will get better? Helluva lot of wealthy kings on this rock. I don't see a great deal of Kingly ways though. Plenty of Queen Bee hive mind ways.
CoL is losing more and more control every day. Thats why their regent in Canada, Carney has been desperately trying to form pan European alliance as they lose oil chokehold, insurance monopoly and now China. Their central banks - ECB and BOJ have already been weakened by the high interest rates by the Fed (haha yeah, that really hurt the enemy more than domestic economy) and the problem of CoL is that they run everything via proxies - and they are losing proxies one by one.
To fully cut all strings in China, Trump needs to:
Convince Chinese that they can have a prosperous future by trading like a sovereign nation based on their unique resources and talents and not as a puppet of CoL
Take control of chip industry from Taiwan
Trump did the first part in this trip. Now he needs to do the second part.
This is exactly the same playbook with Saudis in 2017. Trump convinced them that instead of being an Oil economy, they can prosper as a modern economy. Thats how he brought in MBS and couped the old guard. Eventually same will be done in Iran as well - thats why getting countries to trae with US directly for Oil instead of middle east is so important.
No more oil chokehold.
No more chip chokehold
Every country participates in world trade and makes bilateral deals with other countries based on their strengths and weaknesses.
Thanks. How does the rest of the corrupt international world fall in line? Do you think AI development won't end up becoming a technocratic control system? How soon should we expect global surveillance to collapse and sovereignty returned to what should be constitutionally protected citizens of the USA? Until those surveillance systems are completely removed and BigBrother is no longer watching everyone 24/7, we aren't anywhere near as free or sovereign as the founders fought for people to be, right?
Okay, for these questions I have to say that this is my personal belief that has been refined over the past 8 years just watching how Trump does his thing. Take it with a big grain of salt.
How does the rest of the corrupt international world fall in line?
As the strings are cut, we will see governments fall (How do you think Kier Starmer suddenly had such a big fall, for example) and we will see indictments around the world for various things (some might not even look like anything related).
You will also see regional agreements (like the recent Thai + Combodia for example) start popping up, again sign of strings being cut.
I do however feel that the next round of right-wing governments that will get elected across the world - some of them are controlled as well. Maybe not all, but for example Nigel Farage. But even with the controlled right wing govts, we will see things like:
Covid prosecutions
Local election security around the world
Other local corruption prosecutions etc
Do you think AI development won't end up becoming a technocratic control system?
The simple answer is No, because the AI development is happening right at this moment in history. Any other point and we would have been lost. (I will explain this more later)

Everything is happening organically. Just we think we are hitting the precipice, we see new areas of the chessboard and new game pieces come into view. I think we will see all this happen very organically - like we might see a lot of arrests this year (Obama and co), we might see a lot of disclosure starting to happen. As people are celebrating, we might see some extreme tech/surv overreach that get "whistleblown" and cause people to start having serious discussions. People will become more aware of the mechanisms through which people lost their sovereignty.
Ultimately, and this is my belief, the bringing back constitutional sovereignty will happen as a process driven by the people, with Trump just guiding it along. Thats when the global surveillence will end.
But I also think a lot of the surveillance has either been ended / turned only against the enemy, esp under NSA. The other fiveeyes surveillance no doubt still going on.
Until those surveillance systems are completely removed and BigBrother is no longer watching everyone 24/7, we aren't anywhere near as free or sovereign as the founders fought for people to be, right?
Absolutely.
However there is perhaps a different way to look at this. Let me pose this question:
What if we could surveilled every government official, every corporate action etc, and at the same time all of us are also surveilled. And all the surveillance data is public. I know it sounds wierd and scary, but take a moment to think about it. I am not saying we will go there, but its a possibility worth hypothesising in our mind.
Thank you for taking the time as you really have helped me understand. Your last point about surveillance of civil servants is still missing the point a bit. There is no need to constantly monitor upright, decent, human beings. Criminals should be investigated if suspected. End of. What seems clear is the Christless anti-nature of this sad future. In almost every way. Think about it.
I'm afraid we have to step back and realize that "surveillance" has been, is now, and will be, a fact of life. So long as anyone can walk down the street and look around, that is our world. Google does that with driven automobiles and cameras, to compile comprehensive street-level photo maps that anyone can access. There is more civilian access to that surveillance data than any government can afford to spend time on. Even overhead, with private pilots or satellites. So long as no one trespasses, or violates one's rights, there is no problem. It is not a matter of government power---unless the government violates your rights, in which case it is the violation that is the power, not the surveillance. We each of us have the ability to install comprehensive surveillance cameras around our house...including a view of the neighbors across the street, or across our back yard. Do they have a right to complain? As they do of us. Do we have a right to complain?
My view is that people need to return themselves to the fact that we live in society...not on the internet. In the real world, we are not "anons," we are real people, with real faces, and real names---or we are probably criminals, who hide, and lurk, and have aliases. "Surveillance" is just a fancy way of saying "being looked at." But being looked at is inescapable if one wants to live a free life. Being heard is inescapable if one wants to exercise free speech. One is free to be a hermit...but being a hermit is to abandon society (though one may want to continue enjoying the benefits of an economy). It is not a healthy way to live. (Admittedly, some people have disabilities that reduce them to being hermits. But they are to be pitied on account of that, not held up as models.)

A Modern Economy with The Original system. That is how you MAGA.
Sometimes you have to show them.
