HALF-FULL REPORT 02/13/26
Espionage isn’t what it used to be. Trench coats and dead drops are relics. Today, the battlefield is invisible: software supply chains, industrial permits, energy grids, logistics corridors. Foreign powers position factories near critical infrastructure, embed in supply chains, and quietly shape the flow of data and resources. Proximity is leverage. Legitimacy is cover. The system itself delivers the advantage.
This week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent laid it bare in Congress: control your industries or surrender your sovereignty. Tariffs, reshoring, supply chain security are national defense tools.
Private enterprise stays essential, but survival depends on protective perimeter control. Energy, steel, microchips, and critical infrastructure are treated like ports and pipelines in wartime: strategic assets that cannot be held hostage. Production equals freedom.
No production, no autonomy.
Globalism runs the opposite play. It centralizes power, fragments families, suppresses optimism, and builds dependency. Anti-growth greenism, fear campaigns, and fertility suppression weaken populations to make them governable.
The collapse of elites this week shows resistance is possible. The principle is clear: favor competence over connections, defend structural sovereignty, and build systems, including industrial, informational, social that generate durable advantage.
The battlefield is everywhere your nation produces, communicates, and decides. This week was critical. Review it, understand it, act before the next move lands.

Democrats remind the nation daily that every incumbent president, except three over the last century, has suffered substantial midterm losses in Congress. Polls show President Donald Trump suffering an average 11-point negative unfavorability rating.
In yet another return to sanity, the Trump administration is now planning to roll back a key Obama administration climate "finding" that was used to regulate the daylights out of energy production in the United States. That Obama-era regulation identified six greenhouse gases requiring regulation, which included CO2.
