Slow Down to Accelerate
Stillness
There’s a quote attributed to Lenin--to quote the The Big Lebowski, not the singer John Lennon, but Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov-- 'There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.' Saturday's attempt on the life of the (ex)President which missed Donald Trump's skull by a split second or a half inch was a reminder to the believers and non-believers alike that the LORD (or the Universe if you prefer) still works in mysterious ways.
Trump's selection of JD Vance as his running mate today--the junior U.S. Senator from Ohio who has embraced much of his platform including crucially, negotiating an end to the NATO-Russia proxy war in Ukraine--hopefully acts as insurance against further Anglo-American deep state attempts on Trump's life. But as they say, hope is not a strategy and our advice to everyone including ourselves at his moment is: slow down to accelerate. Or practice what our friendly acquaintance Francisco Gonzalez calls--stillness.

Slow down to think, how best to take advantage of this present mid-summer lull. Recognize the fact that many powerful people are either literally out on vacation or seeing their best-laid plans blown up by the Orange Man now presents an opportunity to accelerate your family preps or exit strategy planning. Because yes, the bad guys could still steal this election, in even more ham-handed fashion than they did in 2020. Mr. Trump's life remains in danger, as do the lives of his closest and most trusted political allies from Bedminister to Bratislava. Our Cold Civil War that began with Mr. Trump's election in November 2016--which also accelerated the Second Cold War abroad with the fabricated 'Russian hack of the DNC' Dolstosslegende to bolster it--is far from over.
It's been several months since we directly addressed the future of this enterprise. In that time, we have published dozens of new articles, bolstered ESW's international partnerships especially in BRICS+ Eurasia, and started working on the ESW App. But many critical components of a well-oiled machine have been missing--principally, a cold email engine that also would include automated responses to inquiries and help our limited personnel swiftly sift through responses to cold email blasts.
Unlike a standard niche marketing agency, ESW's cofounders can't casually glance at LinkedIn profiles compiled by some AI algorithm and determine which executives or start up founders would be interested in relocating their business or their working life to Dubai, Mexico City or El Zonte. An AI autodialer programmed to present snippets of our value proposition is also unlikely to discern a prospect's intent too well either. Such typically closely guarded intentions to expatriate or acquire a second citizenship by people with assets are generally only discerned through person to person contacts established via trusted intermediaries. This is especially true in times of chaos, where Americans in particular should heed our Founding Father George Washington's advice on being guarded about whom to let in your counsel.
Building the ESW App and integrating it on the back end with our site as well as our email system is one way to accelerate these integrations. They will prove necessary to take us from a 'boutique', word-of-mouth referral driven fintech vehicle, to an offshoring and internationalization Ferrari. A superb fast machine that many people who never even thought about doing so before will see and want to take for a test drive. A machine that will almost not need any salesmen to close eager buyers.
As for our opinion on current events, we will point people to the superb analysis by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, as well as the articles available at these fine Substacks:
Contemplations on the Tree of Woe
We'll conclude by saying: it's far too late to salvage the Globalist American Empire, certainly at its current extent of American military bases and gross monetary/military overstretch in the face of determined adversaries. It remains not too late to save America, even if our internal borders will almost certainly look quite different when this 4th Turning is over. Secession from the Union is foolish--he who secedes first plays into the domestic enemies' 'new Lincoln vs the Confederates' Narrative and loses. Secession within the Union however, as Red counties and Blue cities come apart after a likely Trump victory this November--is inevitable. Prep if you're in the country or if you're in a big blue city, plan your exit strategy accordingly.
