Susan Kokinda frames a “larger war” behind a headline-filled week, focusing on three events: new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s “Operation Economic Outcast,” and President Trump’s Johnson Space Center remarks.

Kokinda argues Warsh blamed 65 months of elevated inflation on the Fed and signaled an end to “forward guidance,” which she says benefits financial “high flyers” while harming Americans without financial assets.

She highlights Bessent’s warning that immediately sanctioning Iran-linked money laundering could “blow up the global financial system,” portraying that system as dependent on illicit flows and oil control, and notes Treasury targets include entities in Hong Kong.

She also cites Trump’s announcement of a major Venezuela oil deal and his directive creating a United States Space Academy, presented as rejecting a “Dark Age” of limits to growth and advancing exploration and freedom.

The Political Action Committee, LaRouchePAC, also changed its name, becoming Promethean PAC. Our intention is to apply the ideas of LaRouche, as we understand them, to the profound economic, political and cultural challenges now facing the United States and the world.
