Trump Takes 10% of Intel: When America Officially Crosses Into Fascism | Between The Lies 005

Welcome back to Between The Lies, where we call out the lies that both sides tell and give you the real story on America's slide into authoritarianism. I'm Nicky P, and I'm joined by the freedom-loving money brains at Perfect Spiral Capital - Luke Tatum and Corey Sinz.

 

This week's bombshell: Trump just took a 10% stake in Intel on behalf of the United States government. And guess who's cheering from the sidelines? Bernie Sanders. When socialists and supposed capitalists agree on government ownership of private companies, you know we've officially crossed a line.

 

What We Cover:

• How Trump's Intel takeover checks every box for fascist government control

• Why Bernie Sanders is celebrating state ownership of American business

• The dangerous precedent this sets for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and other defense contractors

• How government stock ownership creates permanent war incentives 

• Why this isn't actually new - just the latest evolution of picking winners and losers

• How the "national security" excuse justifies any government overreach

• The moral hazard of privatizing profits while socializing losses

 

Key Takeaways:

Luke breaks down how this follows the same pattern we've seen since 2008 - bail out companies, then buy ownership stakes to justify future interventions. Corey explains why Intel themselves said this is bad news, especially for their overseas revenue. And I call out the hypocrisy of claiming this protects taxpayers when we have zero say in how our stolen money gets invested.

 

We also tackle the bigger picture: This isn't about improving American manufacturing or national security. It's about creating a permanent fusion of government and corporate power that would make Mussolini proud. When your government owns stock in weapons manufacturers, guess what happens to peace negotiations?

 

The Reality Check: Other countries are getting rid of their sovereign wealth funds while we're just starting one. Welcome to the party 100 years late, America. But here's the thing - while politicians steal your money to play stock market, you can build real wealth through systems they can't touch.

 

Perfect Spiral Capital Insight: As always, Luke and Corey emphasize the power of infinite banking to shield your wealth from government predation. When you control your own capital through properly structured policies, you don't need politicians managing your investments. You become your own sovereign wealth fund - without the theft.
