Yesterday, a Five Eyes leader stood in Beijing and praised Xi Jinping’s leadership.
Today, Peter Navarro is circulating plans to expel Canada from the intelligence alliance.
Mark Carney chose his words with a central banker’s precision: “the new world order.”
The exact phrase Xi uses for multipolarity.
The exact phrase Putin uses for “the West versus the Rest.”
The exact phrase Carney himself deployed at Jackson Hole 2019 when he proposed a “Synthetic Hegemonic Currency” to challenge dollar dominance.
This was not a gaffe. It was a signal heard in every capital on Earth.
Here is the sequence Washington created:
35% tariffs on a Five Eyes ally.
USMCA declared “irrelevant.”
Annexation threats: “the 51st state.”
Greenland ultimatum: “whether they like it or not.”
Canadian response: Eight MOUs with Beijing. China surpassing America as top buyer of Canadian crude. “Strategic partnership” replacing “disruptive global power.”
76% of Germans now view America as unreliable. The lowest level ever recorded.
The strategic paradox will be studied for centuries:
Every action designed to isolate China accelerates the multipolar realignment it was meant to prevent.
Carney’s Beijing summit is a template for every middle power facing American pressure.
Australia already reset relations with Beijing.
UK’s Starmer planning his own China visit.
USMCA review arrives July 2026.
America is building the multipolar world it fears.
One ally at a time.

Venezuela Just Proved the Bitcoin Bull Case, And No One Is Paying Attention
Maduro used Tether to move 80% of Venezuela's oil revenue. Billions in sanctions evasion, settled on Tron since 2020.
Then the US made a phone call.
Tether froze the wallets.
Game over.
Everyone's focused on the arrest. The real story is the lesson every finance minister on earth just learned in real time:
Stable coins are a leash, not an escape.
If someone can freeze it, it isn't money. It doesn't solve sovereignty.
First principles:
USDT is dollar plumbing without SWIFT. Faster. Cheaper. Still has a CEO. Still has a compliance department. Still picks up when Washington calls.
This is why USDT adoption exploded, 71-year-old grandmothers in Caracas pay their HOA fees in tether now. But useful ≠sovereign.
The entire value proposition for sanctions evasion just got publicly falsified.
Now do the game theory:
You're Iran. Russia. Any country hedging against dollar weaponization. You just watched Venezuela's "crypto solution" get shut off like a light switch.
Where do you put reserves now?
USDT? Compromised.
Yuan? Political strings.
Gold? Try settling $500M across borders in 10 minutes.
CBDCs? Same kill switch, government branding.
There's exactly one asset that clears final settlement without asking permission from anyone.
21 million units. No CEO. No freeze function. No phone number.
This is the ad Bitcoin never had to buy.
The most desperate, highest-stakes capital on earth just learned there's only one door.
Price doesn't reflect it yet.
It will.
