Mike Steger, 18 October 2026

Mike Steger breaks down Trump's broader strategy toward Russia, Ukraine, and Europe, examining how energy agreements, economic reconstruction, and security guarantees could lay the foundation for a new international order.

As European governments face mounting debt and political pressure, Mike examines Volodymyr Zelensky, Marine Le Pen, Alice Weidel, and the growing debate over Europe's economic future.

Drawing on Otto von Bismarck, World War I, British geopolitics, and the American System, Mike explores why he believes Trump's strategy could reverse more than a century of conflict and usher in a new era of industrial growth and Western civilization.

The Democracy Files

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 1: THE PLAN 🚨 I am working on gathering all the documents. Now, here's something to understand about the "democracy" and protest ecosystem: almost nobody knows the 'grand plan' so to speak. They simply agree to play a role. For example, 99% of people breaking stuff on the streets believe they're doing it out of an organic uprising. They don't see that the police have been ordered to stand down. They don't see that legal services have already been arranged for them. They don't see that foundations are paying for their bonds. Similarly here, governors aren't participating in a pact to destroy the Constitution. Governors simply have agreed to push back on the Insurrection Act. The effect is the same: the governors end up playing a role in a grander plan. I call this "shared epistemology" in my book Unelected. Motivations differ, people rarely agree to the big evil supervillain framing, but incentives all converge in the same end goal. No Kings might not agree to explicitly tear down the Constitution, but they nonetheless work with DSA and will turn out millions of people if the right phone call is put in. Here is one articulation of the plan - and crucially, since then, they have put many NGOs in their places to execute their proper role at all levels when the time is right. Many more coming.

Judge Reyes Refuses to Recuse

The United States Department of Interior wants to take a terrible and very unsafe golf course, and make it into a great, safe, and prestigious golf course. They have an absolute right to do so. It’s as simple as that! The judge on the case is a crazed lunatic whose courthouse tapes will reveal, may be insane? The tapes have been blocked from usage by the judge. The random golfer bringing the ridiculous lawsuit has ZERO STANDING! The experts at “Interior” are allowed to do this First Class renovation “as of right.” They do not need an approval. Work is scheduled to begin IMMEDIATELY! The finished product will be World Class, and bring income and great prestige back to D.C.

Donald J Trump

“context”? The crazy woman from Uruguay is screaming, berating Trump attorneys, and attacking them personally over long overdue tree maintenance at a run-down golf course. She’s fucking nuts. And as biased as you get.

I Want This War to End

My decision on Russia is a very simple one. I am in the process of negotiating Peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and don't want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table. Great progress is being made, and that includes current hostage negotiations! Signing that document at this time will do that, and I can sign it later, or any time that I want! Perhaps more importantly, Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing, and I want to keep it that way, and will, unless stupid people get in the way. Lastly, Zelenskyy is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing that these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States. Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World. Zelenskyy doesn't care, and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn't want to end this war, and probably never did. He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead. I WANT THIS WAR END!

The Seed of a Parallel Financial Architecture

What Anthropic floated here is a softened version of something much bigger... Elon immediately pushed it to the real destination... Anthropic says it will place a portion of its equity into a public benefit structure... Elon’s response cuts straight through the intermediary and lands on the actual mechanism... give the shares directly to the people... Then he goes a step further and clarifies the frame... not “universal basic income,” but “universal high income.” That shift is key because it moves the conversation away from state managed dependency and toward asset ownership, yield, and participation in upside... That is why DIVIDENDS are the path to prosperity... not endless money printing, not another handout cycle, not government created artificial demand... Ownership changes the structure... When citizens hold productive assets, prosperity can flow from real enterprise value, real cash flow, real appreciation, and real distributions... One share to every child in America is not just a gift... it is the seed of a parallel financial architecture where the public is no longer merely taxed, managed, and rationed, but brought inside the value creation machine itself... That also maps directly to what I’ve been writing about with sovereign wealth, Trump accounts, and dividend architecture... the goal is not welfare with a prettier name... The goal is to turn the population into stakeholders in national growth... if the country rebuilds industry, energy, compute, robotics, logistics, and space infrastructure, then the public can share in that expansion through ownership... That is how you create intergenerational lift without lighting an inflationary fire... because the benefit is tied to productive output and appreciating assets, not just raw currency dumped into circulation... So the decode is simple... Anthropic opened the door with “public benefit,” Elon kicked it wide open with direct public ownership, and the endgame is a citizen dividend model where every American child starts life with a stake in the future... That is not communism... it is the opposite... it is broad based capitalism with sovereign characteristics... prosperity distributed through ownership...

One SpaceX Share to Every Kid in America

American hero.

I don't know if you realize what just happened.

Elon Musk is completely bypassing the State.

For 100 years, we've been told the problem is capital. That it must be captured, taxed, redistributed. With an army of intermediaries standing between those who create wealth and the people: ministries, agencies, commissions, bureaucrats.

Musk is doing the opposite. He's taking his capital and giving it directly to the people. One SpaceX share to every kid in America. Not a handout. Not a subsidy. A piece of the machine that's taking humanity to Mars.

And he says it himself: this is the first of many.

Mises understood this back in 1944: the bureaucrat creates nothing. He administers what others created, following rules that have no connection to the value produced. The day value flows directly from the one who creates it to the one who receives it, the bureaucrat has no function left.

That's what's being born right now. A new liberal world order, where the very concept of the State will make less and less sense.

The world we're entering is a world of abundance. AI, robots, energy, space. And that abundance won't come through the State, for one simple reason: we have a century of proof that it doesn't work.

Redistribution was version 1.0. Direct distribution of capital is 2.0.

While France is still debating how to tax builders even more, America is handing stock to its kids.

Pick your side.

Anthropic Public Benefit Fund

@AnthropicAI I recommend giving the shares directly to the public

You want to wash the money into far left wing NGOs. Otherwise you'd directly fund the next generation of Americans via the Trump Accounts. These tricks won't work. You are plotting to do great evil to the country, and world.


Christopher Sisk

Donate the shares to Trump accounts. Calling something you control a public benefit is laughable

So you are establishing your own USAID? Got it

France Knows Exactly What Is Happening & Who Is Behind It

France has a very capable intelligence function. France knows exactly what is happening and who is behind it. How many leaders have we've seen that are willing to attack their own ppl and country in the past to gain advantage to push narratives? The answer, unfortunately, is almost all of them. That fact that they don't view their citizens as ppl but pawns in a global chess game should be clear to everyone. Someone activated the chaos. The intelligence agencies, who monitor EVERYONE in France and beyond, know the answer and so does Macron.

The Federal Non-Citizen Database

For two years the Trump Admin has sought federal voter rolls and welfare rolls from blue states to run against the federal non-citizen database—Democrat states refused and Democrat judges blocked DOJ/DHS. In every blue state you can vote or get welfare just by checking a box.
