The empire said the quiet part out loud

Edition 7, 11 May 2026

The Empire said the quiet part out loud this week. Three of its own institutions admitted in public what they had previously kept inside their own panels and reports. Underneath the admissions, the infrastructure that ran the old order is being cut piece by piece, on a timetable they cannot stop.

The Empire admits it

The House of Lords Defence and International Affairs Committee filed its biannual report on US-UK relations. Susan Kokinda of Promethean Action, who follows these developments closely, read it alongside the Chatham House panel that introduced it. The conclusion was sober.

Their 2018 report had said the Empire could survive one Trump term. This latest report says the Empire cannot survive a second Trump term.

Mark Carney made the same admission in Yerevan, recently. Standing in front of an EU policy gathering and a Canadian delegation invited for the first time, he told the room that the post-war rules-based order is over.

We need a new rules-based order, but it will have to be Eurocentric.

The November midterms are now their last lever, and the Lords report effectively says so.

The City of London's cash flows severed

While the admissions land at the political layer, the financial plumbing is being cut. Ret'd USAF Brigadier General Blaine Holt walked through the operation in detail.

The United Arab Emirates is leaving OPEC. The Dubai International Finance Center, which Holt describes as a wholly-owned franchise of the City of London inside Dubai, is being prised loose at the same time.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent used Iran's Shamkhani laundering network as a thread to pull, and the network unravelled. At least seven banks across Dubai, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Switzerland have now face US sanctions. Bank Embar in Switzerland has been shut out of the US financial system entirely.

The IRGC cannot make payroll.

Iran is running hyperinflation around 150% a week. The leadership structure is publicly fighting itself. The Russians and Chinese have communicated to Tehran that the jig is up.

Joaquin Flores of t.me/NewResistance went over the second half of the picture. The Strait of Hormuz is now operating under what Trump renamed Operation Epic Freedom, with Iranian oil transactions clearing through Tether (USDT).

Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick built and which his sons now run, sits inside Tether's headquarters in El Salvador. The IRGC's oil is now backstopping the US Treasury through the stablecoin, USDT. The City of London's monopoly on shipping insurance, which Holt said Lloyd's of London had held intact for its full 337-year history, is broken with the US now providing cover, where Lloyds refused.

Britain Liquidating Itself

The same logic plays out at home. Keir Starmer's Labour Party lost roughly 83% of the local council seats it was defending in the 7th May 2026 vote.

Tom Luongo of Gold Goats and Guns called it a referendum and treated Starmer's refusal to resign as confirmation of what his role always was:

He was selected for this role to destroy the UK.

Tom Luongo

Reform UK picked up most of what Labour lost. The Green Party is being slowly captured at the activist edge by the Muslim Brotherhood network, and a parallel slate of independent Muslim candidates is forming outside the party system. The result is sectarian fragmentation.

Kokinda added a piece almost no one had reported. The long end of the UK gilt curve, the 30-year and 50-year bonds where liquidity is thin and headlines can be written cheaply, was attacked during the King's Washington visit and softened the moment he flew home.

One reading is that City of London loyalists are trying to push Starmer out themselves, having concluded he is now a liability rather than an asset.

Luongo's wider read is the locust pattern. The empire strip-mines a host, dumps its stolen capital somewhere new, and waits a generation to rebuild on the ruins. Britain is being stripped. The next host, in his analysis, is Ankara, where Erdoğan announced ballistic missiles with a 6,000 kilometre range the same week.

Europe and Canada in the crosshairs

Canada was treated to a parallel demonstration. EM Burlingame and Brigadier General Holt examined the appointment of Canada's new Governor General, Louise Arbour. She is alos now Commander in Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces and carries the power to dismiss an elected government.

Burlingame argued she was placed there specifically to liquidate Canada on behalf of the Crown, and the City of London.

There hasn't been a monarch that hasn't been held at the knife point, their family at knife points, in 1660.

EM Burlingame

The King is a hostage, not the enemy, argued Burlingame. That distinction matters when reading King Charles' actions.

In Europe, the Trump administration announced the withdrawal of around 5,000 US troops from Germany. Colonel Roxanne Towner-Watkins (rUSAF) set the move in an historical context. The Eisenhower-era brief said US forces in Europe were a temporary post-war stabiliser. They were never meant to be a permanent prescence.

NATO's actual job, in her telling, became something else. Operation Gladio's stay-behind networks ran through Otto Skorzeny's Madrid construction company, paid via inflated contracts to build US bases in Franco's Spain. The Skorzeny and Reinhard Gehlen lineage runs forward, she argued, to the Right Sector and the Azov Battalion in the Ukrainian regime changes of 2004 and 2014.

The Eastern flank is moving. Holt sees renewed traction for Călin Georgescu in Romania and a welcome sovereigntist movement in Bulgaria.

Joaquin Flores and Stephen Kuhn read Carney's Yerevan trip as the EU trying to buy Armenia for 2.5 billion dollars ...however, it's Russia that controls Armenia's electricity. It's Russia that could use this to exert pressure on Armenia.

PD Lawton, the African affairs journalist, considered how the imperial powers of . France and Britain are continuing to destabilise Africa. One way is by backing Boko Haram and ISWAP to keep the Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger bloc from industrialising on the American System of political economy. Nuclear engineer, Knox, joining her, spelled out how Western NGOs sell renewable energy as "sustainable development" to keep African economies from developing the reliable abundant energy grid that real industry needs.

Trump opens a domestic front

The week's most under-covered move was domestic. Mike Steger of Promethean Action walked through the new DOJ antitrust action against the meatpacking cartel.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins, and Peter Navarro held a joint press conference announcing the action. Pam Bondi is gone. Blanche has replaced her, and indictments are moving forward. James Comey indictment, the RICO investigation into Russiagate, and the cartel takedown are now running out of the same building.

The political track is moving with it. Tom Luongo flagged the Indiana and Ohio Republican primaries as the moment Trump's grip on the base was confirmed despite what Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens et al were claiming. Vivek Ramaswamy won every Ohio county 85-15 against Casey Putsch.

The US Supreme Court struck down the Virginia Democratic redistricting scheme which was designed to deny GOP seats in Congress. Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, and Tennessee have all redistricted. Jim Clyburn's South Carolina seat, the linchpin of the Democratic primary process, is now in play.

Roughly 4.3 million SNAP recipients have been removed from the roles following a proof-of-life reapplication. Kokinda reported that US power plant construction is up 68% across the current Trump term. Things are moving in the right direction in Trump's America. The midterm story the British press is telling is unrelated to the midterm story that Americans voted for: to Make America Great Again.

Seeing through the fog

The shape of this week is the Empire saying in public what it had been keeping behind closed doors. Each admission is the camouflage falling off a piece of the same machine.

The Monarch is held under duress. The City of London is the occupier. The British Empire never ended; it rebranded, and the rebranding is now unravelling because of resistance from ARC: America, Russia and China. They and other sovereigntist countries are refusing to play along.

The Globalists are doing what they can to hold onto power, and to enforce their project on humanity. Britain is being stripped, Ankara is being prepared, and the locusts are already on their way to Turkey.

The withdrawal of consent for war and the authoritarianism that Starmer's government is rolling out, through legal, lawful, peaceful tax resistance is one way we can play our part in the resistance. Go to notaxforwar.com or upinarms.uk

Carney has now said in public that the old order is over. He is telling the truth, even if the job of the new Governor General is to try and maintain the globalists' hold on power. They are failing.

All the best.
