Two vastly different economic and political systems are now clashing in the West: globalism with its multinational elites, global banks largely headquartered in Europe and the US; and nationalism, embodied by the American system under President Trump, aiming for national sovereignty, traditional values and self-governance.
This struggle is a centuries-old contest. The world’s economic elites have long pushed for control over nation states, access to government funds and national wealth, dominating the political system in the effort to re-feudalize the West.
Nationalism versus Globalism: Senior geopolitical analysts at Promethean Action, Susan Kokinda and Barbara Boyd point out in a recent interview with Jillian Michaels that the American founding fathers intended the U.S. to operate as a sovereign economic republic, one where the government supports economic independence and innovation, writes Hanne Nabintu Herland, historian, bestselling author, founder of The Herland Report. The article was first published in Herland’s regular WND column.
However, for much of the past century, the U.S. has been dominated by a globalist system aligned with British globalist and financial interests. This system’s tools, ranging from private central banking such as the privately owned at its top levels, Federal Reserve, to monopolistic cartels in healthcare and agriculture, concentrate power in elite hands and undermine national sovereignty.
Nationalism versus Globalism: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant are working to unravel these globalist networks and restore national sovereignty.
The struggle involves breaking free from speculative finance bubbles, monopolistic economic sectors within pharmaceuticals, insurance, banking, and agriculture, and the chronic media propaganda which always favours what benefits the globalist billionaire class.

Nationalism versus Globalism: As Bessent recently pointed out at the 2026 Reagan National Economic Forum, globalism has greatly weakened the United States, arguably by design, robbed the nation of its sovereignty and made it economically vulnerable by outsourcing its industry. America prioritized consumption over production, ignoring the consequences of relying on overseas goods as a measure of prosperity.
Especially since the mid-1980s, globalism has slowly eroded the economic strength of Western production and caused an unprecedented wealth transfer to the ultra-rich.
The transnational, borderless corporate model has outsourced Western industries to low-cost countries such as China, which has impoverished the Western worker. While no longer paying taxes to specific nation states, these internationalist monopoly corporations are often registered in tax havens.
The benefits deriving from low-cost production and tax evasion is not redistributed back to regular citizens but has been accumulated by the trillions in the billionaire class’ bank accounts and asset management. The consequence is that local innovation, production, citizens’ rights and the interests of the people are undermined across the West.
This program of a globalized economy has caused a historic wealth transfer to what we today call the billionaire elite, which I have discussed in my bestselling book, The Billionaire World. How Marxism serves the elite. (2023) Socialism and communism has been applied by the elites to crush precisely the traditional values that built Western civilization.
Divisive narratives on race, gender, and religion are manufactured distractions that weaken national unity and fuel societal decay. Cultural wars and socialist group control movements are the very globalist tools to erode Western Christian values and weaken the social cohesion necessary for national sovereignty.
Nationalism versus Globalism: What is unfolding before our very eyes is the re-feudalization of the West under the media banners of “democracy” and “freedom”.
While undermining citizen rights and freedom, the globalist leaders – who also own the monopolistic media – have worked to deliberately weaken nation states, gaining control over government funding and the ruling political class. Thereby the wealth transfer from the middle-class to the top billionaire elite has continued uninterrupted, as un-elected billionaire elites become our rulers.
The Federal Reserve, established as a private central bank at its top levels, exemplifies how formal governance structures uphold foreign financial interests at odds with American sovereignty. The global financial system with mechanisms like unregulated offshore banking, equally operates as a powder keg that threatens national economic stability.
So, trade wars, geopolitical tensions, technological disputes on AI, and financial instability all display a variety of aspects of the same Western “civil war” between nationalism and globalism.
The Middle East conflicts, notably with Iran and the influence of British intelligence in Islamic fundamentalism, are engineered crises designed to fracture sovereignty and control energy resource flows. These conflicts are strands in the very same chess game for global power.
President Trump’s recent United Nations General Assembly speech illustrated the same battle as he strongly critiqued the globalist institutions like the UN, the International Criminal Court, and UN Human Rights bodies for advancing agendas adverse to U.S. interests and the interests of nation states.
By focusing on the interests of the globalist agenda, these bodies serve as tools by the billionaire elite to further the wealth gap between the rich and the poor worldwide. As globalism faces a serious push back, the hope is that America First will prevail.
