EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We have selected four bellwether trends in U.S. Politics, Geopolitics, Culture, and Sci-Tech news for the month of June 2026. This report analyzes the four selected bellwether trends in each major category.
We provide a general analysis of the markets, with an American focus. We end our report with an overall assessment of the past month.
In our quarterly Situation Report, we also include a PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS section. Our next Quarterly Situation Report is scheduled for July 10, 2026.
OUTING THE PROGRESSIVE STATE – Openly communist anti-American leftists are winning in Democratic Party primaries. The NY State Primary saw openly communist candidates take 3 out of 3 U.S. congressional races, to the cheering of the Islamist Marxist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani.
The overt rise of the progressive state is what we are seeing here as the Democratic Party is moving away from the Progmerican phase of its existence, where it used American phrases with progressive definitions, to the Progressive State phase of its existence, where American phrases are jettisoned altogether.
PROGRESSIVE MEDIA – We will be changing our label here from the progressive media to the Progressive State Press, in recognition of the fully-emerged Progressive State.
We see this in how the progressive state press have covered the Iran War, from the perspective of the Iranian Regime. We see this in the constant, increasing unfounded accusations by progressive state personalities that anyone not progressive is a Nazi, a White Supremacist. They are unwilling to give them even basic human status.
The progressive state press still refers to ICE agents as “gestapo,” a label intended to kill the target, a label that has been used by most of the major progressive state press outlets.
When Antifa street insurgents were convicted and sentenced to decades in prison, the progressive state press either ignored it altogether or referred to the convicted insurrectionists as protestors with alleged ties to ANTIFA.
The disconnect from reality being displayed by the progressive state press reveals how desperate they are to maintain their hold on a dwindling audience. The rhetoric is triggering violence both in support and in opposition to the now open progressive state.
Their own progressive street insurrectionists are being incited to violence by knowing lies and misrepresentations. On the other side are the victims of their rhetoric, the Americans, especially the white Americans, who are already beginning to lash out violently in the face of progressive state “citizens.”
White people, at this point, might want to consider a class action lawsuit against the whole progressive state press complex. With the power of discovery, we have little doubt that collusion can be seen between the progressive state agencies to intentionally demoralize the white race in America.
This is not out of hatred for the white race, this is pure pragmatic, ruthless strategy. First, they made America a symbol for the white race, then they made the white race the devil. This legitimizes destroying what the white devil created, America.
This violent anti-white campaign was done intentionally, premeditatedly, purely for the sake of destroying our republic and replacing it with the progressive state. It was always an act of treason, but no one was brave enough to call it what it was, and what it continues to be.
We are working on a Deep Dive on the Progressive State Press. Expect that soon in an upcoming MIA.
TRUMP DEPORTATIONS – This month, there has been little talk of the detention centers. Last month, they were a major story, but the progressive state press has largely gone silent on this issue. We consider the proliferation of detention centers to be a matter of concern for Americans, even if they support total deportations.
We will continue to monitor the detention centers’ developments and the pushback forming not just from the progressive state, but an increasing number of Americans as well.
While the progressive lower courts continue to bodycheck Trump’s efforts to deport illegal aliens, SCOTUS has mostly reversed those rulings. Two most-recent SCOTUS rulings empower Trump to send asylum seekers away at the border and to deport temporary protected status immigrants.
More and more Americans are beginning to understand the progressive mindset. To them, the illegal alien is a rightful colonizer of the white devil’s stolen lands. Their calls for empathy are only directed towards foreigners, not Americans.
Their messaging is hardening their base against America and Americans while causing more Americans to understand the existential, irreconcilable divide between the American Republic and the Progressive State.
ELECTION FRAUD – A ruling by another progressive state judge, U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, bellwethers the state of election fraud in our country today. Where progressive power reigns, any effort to plumbline the integrity of the election system is seen as racist and a violation of privacy.
This judge claimed, “The federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote. This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens.”
That statement alone should have triggered an arrest and an immediate charge of corruption, to start. The judge is all but acknowledging the law prohibiting illegal aliens from voting is not one she intends to honor. She chose her progressive ideology over her American legal responsibility. She chose treason once again, as progressive state judges do daily across this land.
She was cutting off President Trump from being able to assure the voters on state election rolls are actually citizens. Voters do not have a right to privacy when it comes to determining if they are rightful citizen voters or not. The ruling is clearly not American, it is progressive. It presumes the illegal alien is a rightful voter from the start.
Last week, we did a Deep Dive on the mass mailer election in California, a convoluted, multi-faceted machine that INVITES undetectable fraud by its very structure. It obfuscates truth by making it impossible to measure.
THIS is the model the progressive state embraces, for voting is only socially justice if it assures only socially just people win. To the progressive, playing fair with your political opponent is a hate crime.
To the progressive, the opponent is always a genocidal genetic demon, one who deserves no fairness.
This is why they support a mass mailer election system; they know they control it. So long as they control the truth obfuscation machine, no evil Nazi will ever win an election again. Their fear of the white devil makes it easy for them to not see the OBVIOUS lack of integrity in a mass mailer system.
That lack of integrity, for them, is protection, not a threat, for they do not live in the home of the brave, they live in the land of the cowards, the progressive state.
NOTE: Read about the Iran Peace Deal in our Deep Dive on pg. 2.
CHINA – The failure by the Trump administration to couple the Iran War with opposition to Chinese power causes us to suspect this administration does not view the Chinese State the same way we do. China seems to be a potential threat that could become a pragmatic dance partner on the world stage, where competition is within the realm of excellence, not war.
The Iran Peace deal may fall apart at any moment, but so long as it moves towards its stated intended outcome, China will have withstood another serious blow to its geopolitical power. Venezuela was a significant loss for China, Iran would have been worse.
Around the world, from Africa to Europe, China is cutting deals. In South Korea, their soft power has already laid the groundwork for a takeover from within.
COLUMBIA – While China may have dodged a bullet in Iran (so far), they now face another potential loss in South America, this time in Columbia. A pro-U.S. candidate has won a close election, one that has room for the pro-Chinese leftists in power to exploit.
Charges of fraud have already occurred, with the contender conceding, but the current President accusing the election of not being legitimate. China and the U.S. will be scrambling assets to win the fraud narrative as Trump hopes to oust China from another South American country.
BRITAIN – The resignation of the Prime Minister of Britian in the face of the release of the Rape Gang inquiry has made the divide between the progressive state of Britian and the British nation all the more obvious to the casual watcher.
The UK is becoming the bellwether of what we believe is the underlying friction of human governance in current year, the debate over the essentialism of ethnic homogeny to a nation. Were we to consider the question outside the frame of our suppositional values, perhaps we could understand, phenomenologically, how well-equipped the human species is to live harmoniously in diverse ethnic groups, as opposed to more homogenously ethnic ones.
The UK’s situation is not the same as America’s, and we fear “lessons” might be learned in the UK that do not apply to America. The heart of the UK is the island of Britain, whose lands have been dominated for more than a thousand years by three ethnic groups, the English, the Scotts, and the Welsh. Northern Ireland is part of the island of Ireland, which has been occupied by the Irish for more than a thousand years.
Both Ireland and Britian have been inundated with ethnic groups that did not come to the lands to be British, they came to make the lands their own. Every non-progressive in these lands understands that.
In their current reality, it is existentially essential for them to remove the vast majority of non-ethnically British, for the ones there now are overwhelmingly there to exploit an ideology that considers these natives the devils in need of “fixing.”
The Progressive British are speed-running through this effort, the same effort the worldwide progressive state has been executing in any European-dominant nation they control. They are doing this in a country with unarmed citizens. They are speed-running through the model because the citizens gave up their guns 30 years ago, and they live mostly on one island, all within touch distance of one another.
The UK is mostly an island, and the ability of the state to spread its power out so that mobs can’t overrun it is a lot less on an island than it is in a massive continental-sized state like America. The ability of an unarmed populace to take down a regime they finally recognize is absolutely working to kill them or render them penniless and powerless will soon be tested.
The touch-distance reality of their situation worked to help spread this fire, and now it might be used to extinguish it.
If they succeed, the case for the 2A in America might weaken if you assume the circumstances of Britian are the same here. An unarmed populace in Iran had no chance, and our government can spread its power even wider than the Iranian regime can. Unarmed Britain has a chance to throw out their occupiers, unarmed America does not.
The second lesson that could be wrongly learned is that America needs to be ethnically homogenous too, and that ethnicity is the Western European. From the start, we proclaimed the principles of the divine rights of all humans, regardless of race. It is why 3/5 of a person led us to a bloody civil war.
Our origin story did not match our own constitution.
America could not be sustained as a story so long as she allowed slavery to exist.
Our story is not Britian’s, even though our civic foundation was inherited from them. Our story is an experiment that dares to dream of a world where multi-ethnic peoples can become one people through shared civic values, allowing them to preserve their diverse biological ethnicity while sharing the same civic ethnicity with their biologically ethnically diverse neighbors.
UKRAINE – This month was dominated by stories of Ukrainian drones wreaking havoc on Russian infrastructure. There was no report of any significant territorial advances on either side. The Crimea is being inundated by Ukrainian drone strikes, preventing Russia from stationing there securely.
Zelensky has made an offer to Putin to meet him in Washington D.C. for peace talks, and Trump is encouraging Putin to do so. Overall, there have been no significant shifts in narrative or force power this month. The war continues to be eclipsed by the Iran War, though in Europe it continues to be the major factor in policy considerations.
The war also continues to be the proving ground for drone technology and tactics, as everything learned here quickly gets exploited in other war theaters (including Iran).
MLB PRIDE NIGHT – The capitulation by the MLB on Pride Night was a capitulation to fear, not the reflection of their true beliefs. The MLB has an exemption from antitrust laws that could be revoked should the United States determine the organization is being used for partisan reasons.
In fact, it is. It has. It continues to be.
The continuation of “Pride Night” 10-plus years after gay marriage was legalized is a symbol of the various pride flags’ transitions.
The Pride flag(s) began proclaiming liberty to the homosexuals, using American language, and appealing to American empathy, live and let live.
After the legalization, the shift soon began. Now, the Pride Flag(s) has become the progressive state flag. The flag is a symbol of its code, which is social justice, which is justice based on your status, not the facts of the conflict itself.
“What do you think about homosexuality?” is the shibboleth of the progressive state, the tip of their ethical spear. The right answer is laudatory, not tolerant.
The American might say, “live and let live,” to which the progressive would counter “What about the generations of suffering your heteronormativity caused?”
Rather than live and let live, the homosexual cause has become an indictment of the human species itself. The charge is that the normal sexuality of humanity is itself a cancer on existence, for it harms the best of us, the homosexual.
For the ones using this cause as their political bludgeon, they know full well the end result is not the fetishization of the homosexual, it is the establishment of a new precedent, the precedent that allows the corporation and the state to force humans to accept and prefer what the orthodoxy demands they accept and prefer.
The MLB has been complicit in forcing its players to bend their knee to a progressive standard, the standard that accepts forced acceptance from the corporation and/or state. They say the players can volunteer not to participate, but when they do, those players are marked for reduction. There will be no corporate offers for these resistors to compliance with the new precedent.
The wearing of the progressive state flag is not an endorsement of homosexuality, it’s compliance with a “new world order,” a Mamdani “new world order,” where the party and the state are one, and the orthodoxy of the state is the orthodoxy of your mind, that is, if you want to live and thrive.
The moment the DOJ becomes progressive once again, the forced acceptance message of MLB’s Pride Night will resume. And America’s game will continue to be exapted to the progressive game, where the mind is the servant of the party.
KARMELO ANTHONY – Despite all the evidence, including recently released video showing Anthony fleeing after he murdered Austin Metcalf, major segments of the black community still believe Anthony was innocent. They believe Anthony was convicted for being black, not for murdering a boy in cold blood.
The progressive black community has used the progressive narrative, that the white devil invented evil, to escape truth scrutiny. There is no need to talk to Satan, for even his truths are lies. So the progressive black community is free to demonize Austin Metcalf, the murdered young man, since ALL WHITES are white devils deep inside.
Their white teachers told them this. The progressive state press repeats this narrative daily. The movies, the shows, the social media influencers of the progressive state all preach the white devil gospel every day.
The progressive black community has its own accountability to face if it ever wants to choose to be part of the American republic again, but the progressive state makes it incredibly difficult for a black person born into progressivism to escape this demonic spirit.
We Christians must remember Paul killed Christians and yet bent his knee to Christ. He was born into the demonic spirit of the pharisees and was on a path to become a chief among them. He was a rising star in his version of tyranny.
If Paul can escape such a powerful demonic spirit, one that led him to kill Christians, so too can these new pharisees escape their demonic spirits and become wholly American once again.
TRANSGENDER IDEOLOGY – A woman named Melat Kiros is leading the polls in her U.S. congressional Colorado Democratic Primary race against the incumbent. She is running on a platform of creating a “Trans Bill of Rights.” She uses the language of America, but to decidedly progressive state ends.
Her bill of rights would include:
free abortion for all without question at all times,
protection for transgendered children against bigoted parents,
laws protecting transgendered people from being deadnamed and misgendered,
and free access to gender-affirming therapies for all ages.
These are among SOME of the rights she insists are needed for transgendered people to be “equal” with everyone else.
This would only be the beginning, if it were to happen. From this first document, they would keep expanding their powers until every right-think had to become mandatory, and every wrong-think had to be excluded in the name of protecting the lesser from the greater (even though, in this system, the greater would now be the lesser, and vice versa).
She presumes equality is the primary driver of America, which it isn’t. Equality is a Progmerican term, one that borrows from equal justice, but changes reality so that real difference must be ignored, real excellence must be deferred for the sake of “equality.”
But she takes equality to the progressive state stage by equating equality with social acceptance. Social tolerance alone is not sufficient, for this makes the transgendered person, the presumed favored person in her schema, less than equal.
This is a perfect bellwether of how the progressive state uses American standards to smuggle in progressive standards, using the plea of the needy to emotionally hide the real shift in meaning being performed here.
Equal justice. A presumption of facts weighed impartially in determining justice.
Equality. A presumption of equal ability that should not be shaken by impartial facts.
Equal Rights. A presumption that the minority power must receive social acceptance and be protected from social rejection, even social indifference, in order for them to be truly equal.
We start off in America, with equal justice. The word equal is shifted to equality, where it takes on progressive values, while not completely rejecting American ones. It shifts back to equal, but takes on “rights,” another American term, but one in reverse of America’s sense of rights.
Here, “rights” are measured by a hierarchy of social standing, not by a universal self’s right to INDIVIDUAL self-determination. The more disenfranchised you are, the more protected you are from accountability. The less disenfranchised you are, the more you are penalized for existing.
This is not America; this is the progressive state. This is Melat Kiros.
ABORTION WATCH – While unborn child murder centers are being shut down, abortion is on the rise thanks, primarily, to the abortion pill, which is still being sold online and delivered through the mail without a doctor’s consultation.
Abortion is the heart of the disease in this land. It is the most powerful tool for the progressive state still emerging from the American republic; for even in the American context, the right of the mother versus the right of the baby is not a clear issue, especially if you don’t understand the heart of American power (or don’t want to).
The heart of American power is the presumption of the divine right of the self-determining individual. In that context, there is no question that the individual, even in the womb, has a right to live unless their living means certain death for the mother.
Far more than 90% of abortions are done not to save the life of a mother, or because of incest, or rape, they are done to cheat accountability, the accountability of pleasure. The progressive offered men and women sex without consequence, and the human species jumped at the chance.
The temptation of accountability-free living is the same temptation the “disenfranchised” are being offered by the progressive state today.
Even now, most Americans support unborn child murder. It is wholly and completely normalized. Being completely opposed to murdering unborn children is a mark of the extremist, not the normal person.
Thanks to this shift in our presumption about humanity, from divine right to expediency, the progressive state was given greater fuel to thrive. Where individual self-determination was replaced with individual value based on social status, progressivism advanced.
The unborn are the “Jews” of the progressive state.
Its rise in power through abortion, however, means it must hold on to this “right” no matter what the facts might say, no matter how many pro-life protestors they must beat up or economically blacklist, or imprison, or worse...
If the divine right of the self-determining individual returns, what we tolerate today will be a stench to us tomorrow. This would be the death knell of the progressive state. So far, they have no need to worry.
AI WATCH – Humans are not ready for AI, or so it seems, yet the powers that be are more than accepting it, they’re embracing it. Corporations have signaled they are more than willing to turn careers into bots, no matter the cost to society as a whole.
AI is humanity’s plumbline, and so far, we have reason to be concerned, we also have reason to hope.
This past month, Data Centers have become a major story. In our progressive state dynamic, the progressives find themselves somewhat conflicted. They are banking on ultimately having whatever AI power America has as their own one day, but the corporate takeover of vital lands and resources at the expense of small communities is a narrative tailor-made for the progressive to exploit.
Conservatives are just as wary of AI as progressives, but not because they fear corporate takeovers of vital resources, but rather because they fear the censorship power of a world led by AI’s opinions, as many progressives seem happy to lean into.
The rapid expansion of AI Data Centers, we believe, will prove to be a waste of resources as these data centers will get a lot smaller and less resource-demanding in short order, unless the corporations are able to pass regulations that prevent such innovations from undermining their big pig machines.
SOCIAL MEDIA WATCH – This month the trend by nation-states to use the safety of children as an excuse to end anonymity online has increased, with the UK leading the way in that charge. Taxation on social media has been proposed, and sometimes passed, with America joining the trend in progressive states like Illinois.
The balkanization and nationalization of social media continues unabated, but it has not dramatically accelerated.
COVID-19 WATCH – After files released by outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard, the justification for destroying the careers and reputations of Americans for questioning the Covid-19 science are gone.
The progressives refuse to accept that fact, so their progressive state press has chosen to simply omit it. For everyone else, the division between the progressive state and reality just became even more existential in nature.
While the evidence is now clear that, at minimum, there is more than credible evidence to suggest the Covid-19 virus was manmade and let loose in a lab in China, using American money and the approval of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the defense of the censorship of human lives continues by the progressive state.
For the most part, they hide this truth from their audience, but when they cannot, they simply accuse the person of being a white supremacist and/or a Nazi, both of which are death threats when a progressive speaks these words to Americans. The white devil narrative of the progressive state allows the progressive to easily hide in this truth-shielding lie.
4. SUSTAINABLE FLOURISHING – Brain implants are allowing people with advanced ALS to speak. Breakthroughs in computer processing could reduce the need for high volumes of water in AI data centers. A discovery in quantum physics could one day eliminate the need for batteries forever. A discovery about the hidden vast storehouses of memory in the human mind could help us exponentially improve data memory storage.
Here are some key bellwether indicators for the U.S. economy released in June (these numbers measure the previous month’s performance):
Nonfarm Payrolls Unemployment Rate – 72,000 jobs added, unemployment rate at 4.3%.
Average Hourly Earnings – This shows moderate wage growth.
Consumer Price Index Personal – +4.2% YoY – This indicates inflation reacceleration.
S. Real Gross Domestic Product – 1st Quarter – 2.1%. – This indicates moderate growth.
S. Retail Sales Data – 6.9% YoY growth – This indicates strong consumer spending.
The signals are mixed, with strong consumer spending countered by a rise in inflation and a risk it might get worse. The economy is growing, but not in any significant way. The average American might not feel significantly worse than the last month, but they won’t feel much better.
ASSESSMENT
This past month, the war in Iran has dominated the international stage. In America, the growing fatigue of all things progressive by more and more Americans has become multiple memes. Yet the progressives themselves are only getting more bellicose.
The old arguments are still going strong even as the AI infrastructure is being built beneath our feet that will change the arguments for power when it’s done.
We believe we have crossed a significant point this month in the progressive project, as we are now seeing the Democratic Party’s last Progmerican vestiges being decimated in one primary after another. John Fetterman in the Senate remains the last Progmerican Democrat in the whole Senate, and one doubts he’ll survive a Democrat Primary if the Democratic Party still exists in 2028.
Our language is shifting as we begin to understand the true factions in America today. We consider MAGA and most conservatives to be Progmericans, but with strong American roots. They live in equal justice as much as they do equal rights, and they tend to support censorship of dangerous progressive thoughts. Their censorship list might not be as long as the progressive state’s, but they have one, while Americans mostly don’t.
The Progressive State began as Americans, became Progmericans, and are now wholly separated from Americans. They have real institutions. They command whole cities, for generations. They have more institutional power than the Progmericans do. The Americans have virtually none.
There are left Progmericans and right Progmericans. Left Progmericans don’t support gun rights, but they generally support 1st Amendment Rights (with limitations like the right Progmericans, but for different ideas). MAGA and conservatives are mostly Progmerican Right.
The Progmerican Left leans heavily progressive, but they don’t want community living, and they don’t want to lose their American dreams, their castles.
The Progmerican Right leans heavily American, but their rightful fear of progressives leads them to support violations of our 1st Amendment, not to mention due process violations they tend to support selectively.
It was the Progmerican Right that supported the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, a now-leviathan-sized department with tentacles in every private American bucket. They also supported the creation of the FISA courts.
Americans are in Progmerican camps or no camps at all. Some recognize they’re not quite in America, but they think their camp wants to get back to there. They still believe their camps are American at their core, they’re just being hindered by their own leaders.
More and more Americans, in both camps, are leaving, as it is becoming harder and harder to conceal the fact that none of these camps, not the Progmerican Left nor the Progmerican Right, and definitely not the openly anti-American camp, the progressive state, intend on EVER getting back to America.
It looks increasingly like Americans will need to find themselves and build their own political power outside the progressive state and the left and right Progmerican camps.
If we Americans hope to see the America we love fulfilled, the America that was always a promise never quite fulfilled, we Americans, of all races, sexual preferences and beliefs, must find each other, discuss what it means to be American, and form our associations around that defined identity.
From that, our institutional power will emerge.
If your identity or your belief is afraid of public rejection, you are not our kind.
Cowards need not apply.
