The Stars Align
From adversity, we find our strength as a media company and community. From downturn, we gain the humility needed to enjoy the next upturn. And from upturn, the prosperity to enrich our peers.

It was a shock to learn years ago that John Podesta was George Soros’ protege, and his assigned “deputy” or “sheriff” of America — Podesta would enforce Soros’ vision stateside.
With the Soros empire in rapid freefall — he recently transferred control of his Open Society Foundations and related assets to his son, Alex, who is my age, and one of Alex’s first moves as new patriarch of the empire was to fire about 400 of Open Society’s goons.
Media reports are that Alex has a broad restructuring in store for his dad’s foundation work. But the real story, I suspect, is that the Soros family is in broad retreat. Millions awoke (not to be confused with “woke”) during the pandemic years, read up on the super-rich “globalist” families and the madness they advocate for, the military-industrial profit mill, the non-profit/NGO/government revolving door, and the occult central banks.
And in these years of populist grassroots scholarship, the Soros family — and nearly everyone they’ve backed politically for the past 30 years — don’t come away smelling like roses.
A pandemic and war weary global populace is slowly closing in on these bizarre globalist families, and the public’s first act seems to be embrace of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency — the recent BlackRock ETF filing news only underscores the fact that something significant came along during the last decade of globalist largesse, and many of the globalists were so busy silencing critics and enforcing cultural views on things that really don’t matter that they missed this tidal shift in what human value actually is, and will be.
Many of them missed the boat on Bitcoin. There are sour grapes out there like you can’t even imagine — seething elderly globalists missed the gold rush, and short of a functional time machine, their new tack is to lash out at the thing they missed out on.
Interesting times. I’ve been in the distinct minority on this view, but I still contend Bitcoin’s global mainlining — now the darling of BlackRock, Fidelity, and even whole nation-states like El Salvador — is the real populist opening salvo, and even more so than that: it’s the elites’ kryptonite. Crypto. Kryptonite. Hmm, lol.
Like kryptonite, or better yet, that glowing alien blood goo that leaks out whenever they shoot at a xenomorph in the Ridley Scott Alien movies. As with the goo, crypto is so caustic it burns through everything in its path — titanium spacecraft hulls are no exception for the alien goo, and boomer globalist legacy value system is equally susceptible to the goo that is Satoshi’s unstoppable clock tower.
Some still place their faith in an orange man who spent his life being ideologically reared by the people we all supposedly despise — Rothschilds, Clintons, bankers, corporate media, Epstein — yet I see through that ruse.
Good technology like crypto will put these elderly buffoons in their place. An elderly buffoon who was friends with the rest of them for most of his life, and who botched his entire 4 years in office… Podesta grew in wealth and power, and now is back in the White House advising the current President… orange man failed in a profound way to rein in the legacy sociopolitical elite, whereas Bitcoin has never really failed us there.
More than six months after the massive FTX psyop to try to turn the public and political class against Bitcoin, and it seems stronger than ever as a community — with major ETF filings and significant praise from a rogue’s gallery of cultural influencers, everyone from RFK Jr. to BlackRock chief Larry Fink.
‘Tis a shame they’ve so slowed my media career and media company FULCRUM News (recently our email provider maliciously dropped us, which is why we’re using Substack in the interim- welcome everyone!), yet it should be clear by now that we win, and these are only the morally destitute end stage tantrums and whines of a clear market loser.
The Podestas and Soros clan are clear market losers.
So much time spent on funding trash like cover-up “fact check” service Snopes and glorified blog sites to enforce their “progressive” vision for the planet, yet they missed the boat on the most progressive development of — perhaps — all time: money without custodian necessity.
Larry Fink recently identified this as one of the key innovations of Bitcoin, and he’s right: it will transform finance, for the very reason (as he explained) that now we can have money — even large amounts of it — without a custodian such as a large corporate bank or government treasury needing to store it for us.
Transformative breakthrough level stuff, and it seems the “adult” globalists like Fink are finally telling the juniors in the room — Alex Soros and mom jeans aficionado John Podesta — that there’s a new game, and a new sheriff, in town.
The blockchain, not an orange man who was mentored by Kissinger, will be our salvation — if any salvation is ahead for sacred West.
Onward,
