In March 2017, I started writing on The Trump-Bannon Revolution: Disruption, Chaos & Destruction. Five more parts followed in this blog series. In 2018, it ended with Trump’s revolution of disruption, chaos and destruction (6). I suppose the 2025 Trump Administration will continue with its disruption, chaos and destruction by his most controversial (nominated)...

Does a Superpower need pragmatism?
Before Covid-19, many articles assumed that the Chinese economy would soon surpass the American economy. Even before Covid-19, I never believed that.

The Power domain of the 7 Belief systems includes: Data-Info (2019), Money...
From nationalism to imperialism
At the recent UN General Assembly, several countries accused the Russian president of imperialism (eg, 2022 invasion of Ukraine). It has been a long way for Russia: from imperialism to communism to nationalism and back to imperialism. I presume Putin will be proud of being called an imperialist. The countries accusing Russia of imperialism know what they are talking...
Woke capitalism, a new oxymoron
Money is most successful when it operates in the background and/or in the shadows. Whenever Money takes the lead within the Power domain of the 7 Belief systems, it will be crushed by either Politics (eg, China) or Religion (eg, Iran). American businesses used to appeal to all Americans. Not anymore. Recently, the Economist published an article that Republicans are...
