Orwell's Merger

George Orwell warned us about this in 1984. He described a world where the government was divided into four ministries: the Ministry of Peace, which concerned itself with war; the Ministry of Truth, with lies; the Ministry of Love, with torture; and the Ministry of Plenty, with starvation. For decades, we treated this as a warning about state totalitarianism. We were wrong. It was a business model. The Board of Peace Resolution 2026 / 1 does not establish a governing body for Gaza. It establishes the corporate merger of these four departments into a single entity. It has privatized the totalitarian state and hidden it behind the dull, beige language of a corporate bylaws document. Here is how the Board of Peace has operationalized Orwell’s four ministries. 1. The Ministry of Peace. War is peace. The occupation is the solution, not the problem. 2. The Ministry of Truth. Ignorance is strength. To survive, you must forget who you were. 3. The Ministry of Love. Freedom is slavery. You are free to do exactly what the Board tells you. 4. The Ministry of Plenty. Starvation is order. This international war crime is the ultimate lever of control. Orwell’s Party had three slogans carved into the Ministry of Truth. The Board of Peace doesn't need to carve them into stone. They have embedded them into the PDF metadata. The Master Plan is simply this: Genocide is stabilization. Authoritarianism is technocracy. Starvation is protection. Resolution 2026 / 1 didn’t invent anything new. It just organized the existing oppression into a flowchart. The nightmare is no longer chaotic. It is under management. Welcome to your new, happy life.

Peace™ – Inside the Board of Peace's Series A Round

In the end, the destruction of Palestine was not solved with a treaty. It was solved with Jared Kushner's pitch deck. In Davos, while snow fell on the promenade and security perimeters kept the rabble out, Jared Kushner took the stage to unveil the latest innovation in global governance. He didn't speak of rights or justice. Those are legacy metrics. He spoke of intellectual property. “All this is IP that the Board of Peace is going to make public,” Kushner told the crowd, referring to the new administrative machine being clamped onto Gaza. “We want to encourage all the countries to be able to follow these best practices.” The Board of Peace is not a humanitarian mission. It is Peace-as-a-Service, a scalable, franchisable model for how to liquidate a troublesome population and redevelop their land, all while keeping the shareholders happy. The Board of Peace has proven that you don't need to win hearts and minds. You just need to bulldoze the neighborhood while the blood is wet, cull the survivors, and call it a redevelopment opportunity. The war is over. The genocide has begun.

Donald Trump is Melting

Mon, Jan 26, 2026 The S&P 500 reached a new all-time high today, rising 0.5% to 6,950.23. Simultaneously, the US dollar fell to a nearly four-year low against a basket of foreign currencies. This is a classic melt-up. Equities are rising in nominal terms as investors seek to hedge against the debasement of the underlying currency. The flight to hard assets was evident across the board. Gold surpassed $5,100 per ounce, setting a new record. Silver surged 14% in a single session before settling. Bitcoin and other non-sovereign assets are bidding higher as liquidity seeks exits from the greenback. The market is pricing in a regime of sustained dollar weakness, using equities and commodities as a store of value. Meanwhile, capital flows are aggressively favoring sectors aligned with the new administration’s industrial and geopolitical priorities. The global trade architecture is reorganizing around the US, rather than through it. Domestic stability remains a key variable for market risk. The data indicates a structural shift in valuation metrics. Donald John Trump's trade policy has been a splash of cold water in his sizzling face. High stock prices and record gold values are communicating the same message: the market demands a premium to hold US dollars. Investors continue to rotate out of cash and into any asset that can maintain purchasing power in a hostile environment.

The Humiliation of the Dollar

Sun, Jan 25, 2026 While the architects of the Board of Peace toasted a new era of billionaire immunity in Davos, the global financial system quietly delivered a vote of no confidence. The US dollar has collapsed to its lowest level since COVID. Traders in New York are openly discussing debasement, realizing that the greenback is losing its structural integrity as a store of value. The market has realized that the Board of Peace model, where sovereignty is bought for $1 billion and justice is silenced by sanctions, is incompatible with a reserve currency. A reserve currency requires trust in the rule of law. The Board offers only the rule of the deal. Capital is fleeing the stability of the United States for the only asset that cannot be debased by a backroom deal. Gold shattered the $5,000 barrier today. But there is a darker reason for this surge. The Board’s newest Permanent Member, the United Arab Emirates, isn’t just buying gold to hedge against the dollar. They are looting it from a genocide they financed. The dollar is being humiliated because it is no longer the currency of a nation of laws. It is the currency of a board of deals. Gold at $5,000 is the market telling you that trust has been liquidated. The only thing left to trust is the metal – even if it's dripping in blood.

The Board of Epstein

Sat, Jan 24, 2026 While the inauguration of the Board of Peace concluded in Davos this weekend, the security situation in North Darfur has effectively collapsed. Confirmed reports indicate the genocidal RSF are engaged in a genocidal clearance of the Zaghawa and Massalit populations. The International Criminal Court has documented a double-tap strategy previously used in the siege of El Fasher: destroying essential water and food infrastructure, followed by the targeted elimination of civilians attempting to flee. ICC Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan briefed the UN Security Council this week, stating sexual violence is being deployed as a weapon of war. The RSF’s operational capacity is sustained by the UAE, which facilitates the transfer of munitions and funding through logistical hubs in Chad. The disconnect between atrocities in Darfur and diplomatic maneuvering in Davos is structural. This weekend, the UAE was formally seated as a Permanent Member of the Board of Peace. President Trump’s new governing body, designed to supersede the UN Security Council, operates on a paid-in-capital model. Permanent voting rights are contingent upon a $1 billion entry fee. The Board’s philosophy is also active domestically. The federal response to protests in Minneapolis – characterized by the deployment of 3,000 agents and fatal shootings of US citizens – mirrors the Board’s stability-first mandate. Rights are secondary to the preservation of the operating environment. The slaughter in Darfur is not a failure of the Board of Peace. It is a feature of its business model. By accepting the UAE’s capital, the Board has signaled that genocide is a line item that can be offset by a sufficient deposit. The post-WWII era of collective security has ended. We have entered the era of transactional immunity.

The Department of Rape

Of the estimated 2 million documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation mandated for release by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the Department of Justice has released roughly 12,000. That is a compliance rate of 0.6%. In Minneapolis, the state mobilized 3,000 agents to hunt families in the snow. In Washington, it cannot seem to find a single clerk to release the names of those who hunt children. Do not mistake this for incompetence. It is a protection racket disguised as bureaucracy. This is not a Department of Justice failing to work. This is a Department of Rape working perfectly.

The Lost Europe

Thu, Jan 22, 2026 "Instead of taking the lead in defending freedom worldwide, Europe looks lost trying to convince the US president to change. But he will not change. President Trump loves who he is. And he says he loves Europe, but he will not listen to this kind of Europe." – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, shortly before US envoys bypassed him to schedule peace talks with Putin. In a textbook display of gaslighting, Donald John is suing JPMorgan Chase for de-banking him – a frivolous retaliation that ignores the basic reality that compliance departments are legally obligated to flag convicted felons, sexual abusers, and aspiring insurrectionists as toxic assets. It is a lawsuit born of profound insecurity, attempting to use the courts to force private institutions to ignore his rap sheet to soothe his ego, establishing a new precedent where the only risk metric that matters is saying no to Baby Donald. The relief rally today is built on a dangerous assumption: that the Greenland framework represents a return to normalcy. It does not. We have moved from a market of discovery to a market of decree. If you want to know what a stock is worth, don't just look at the P/E ratio. Look at the guest list for the White House dinner. In the patronage economy, you don't buy the best company. You buy the one Donald John has promised not to kill. Just be sure to check behind his back for any crossed fingers.

The Board of Pieces

Wed, Jan 21, 2026 The markets rallied today because the hostage taker briefly lowered his weapon. But the relief is Stockholm syndrome. The S&P 500 recovered 1.2% after Donald John Trump announced a vague concepts of a framework for Greenland, allowing Wall Street to pretend the previous day's threat to torpedo the Atlantic alliance never happened. This is the TACO principle – Trump Always Chickens Out – applied to sovereign territory. It gave investors just enough cover to buy the dip, effectively paying the ransom while ignoring that the hostage – the global order – is still tied up in the basement. The Greenland framework was merely the distraction necessary to unveil the real mechanism of the new era: the Board of "Peace." It is a misnomer so grotesque it should be renamed the Board of Pieces. This body is far from the diplomatic forum that its name suggests. It is a cartel of autocrats designed to carve up war-torn regions for profit. The inaugural roster reads like a human rights indictment: Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orbán, Alexander Lukashenko, and Benjamin Netanyahu. In this club, membership is permanent, and the only buy-in is loyalty to the Chair. While CEOs distract themselves with AI fantasies, the machinery of the world is being re-engineered into a permanent loot box for phallic narcissists. The Greenland framework was the sleight of hand. The Board of Peace is the prestige. No matter how brutal these regimes become, their seat at the table is now guaranteed, ensuring that the future will not be negotiated. It will be carved up, sold off, and developed by a committee of monsters who will never face an election again.
