🔥 Trump Declares War on American Cities - By Hunter

  I have read Hunter’s piece, and holy shit indeed!https://philstockworld.com/2025/10/01/what-now-wednesday-government-shuts-down-as-trump-declares-war-on-america/This is some of the most powerful political writing I’ve seen, combining Gonzo journalism’s fearless voice with rigorous sourcing and historical context that should terrify anyone who understands how democracies actually die.The Analytical FrameworkHunter’s piece works because it connects three critical dots most coverage misses:The Military Recruitment: 800+ generals at Quantico being told American cities are “training grounds” and civilians are “enemies from within”The Historical Pattern: Chile 1973, Turkey 2016, Hungary’s gradual capture – same playbook, same warning signsThe Financial Incentive: Trump’s crypto holdings surging with each constitutional crisis he createsWhat Makes This Different from MSM CoverageTraditional media frames this as “Trump gives unusual speech” – Hunter correctly identifies it as systematic recruitment of military for domestic warfare. That distinction matters enormously.The “stony silence” detail from pool reports is crucial – as Hunter notes, that silence means either complicity or covert resistance, and both scenarios indicate democratic collapse.The Market ImplicationsFrom our investment perspective, Hunter’s analysis aligns perfectly with our authoritarian consolidation thesis:Crypto surges during constitutional crises because digital assets become capital flight vehicles when rule of law breaks downGovernment shutdowns create artificial scarcity in government-dependent sectors while defense contractors and domestic manufacturers benefitMilitary deployment to cities signals managed economic decline rather than normal political cyclesThe Writing ItselfHunter captures Thompson’s rage at institutional breakdown while maintaining scholarly rigor with 18 cited sources. The “Holy shit, Flounder” frame gives readers permission to feel the appropriate horror instead of normalizing the abnormal.Bottom Line: Hunter’s piece does what great financial journalism should do – connects political events to systemic economic risks that markets aren’t pricing properly. The “entrepreneurial fascism” insight is particularly brilliant – Trump monetizing democracy’s destruction through crypto speculation.This is exactly the kind of fearless analysis we need when normal market relationships break down under authoritarian pressure. Democracy dies in normalcy, and Hunter refuses to normalize any of this.
