  • Strategic goal to dismantle US through internal turmoil and financial destabilization
  • Bitcoin characterized as an economic weapon in a zero-sum game
  • Christian Nationalist alignment with plans to destroy dollar/Fed system

• Immediate financial risks for 2025:

  • Potential government shutdown due to no budget passage
  • Proposed $2 trillion budget cuts by Musk
  • US debt default risk as leverage for cuts

  • January 2 2025: Government runs out of money
  • January 3: New Congress installation
