  • Orwell's Merger
    Feb 2 2026

    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
    Feb 2 2026

    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
    Jan 28 2026

    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.
