🇺🇸 WHERE THE US MIC GOES NEXT? For decades the US MIC monetised the Forever War abroad. When the Middle East moves towards a regional security architecture & global south regional alliances follow, where does an enormous security industry find its next growth market? Look home. 🇺🇸 Record military and homeland security budgets. Drones and military infrastructure moving into Washington. Stargate building enormous AI and data centre capacity. The GENIUS Act bringing stablecoins deeper into the regulated dollar system with KYC, AML, sanctions enforcement and freeze capabilities. Put the architecture together. Drones provide the eyes. AI provides the intelligence. Data centres provide the compute. Digital identity connects activity to individuals. Stablecoins provide increasingly programmable and enforceable money. MIC provides the security infrastructure. TIC provides the technology and data. FIC finances it and connects the monetary rails. 🇬🇧 The UK is the beta test. CCTV. Digital identity. Online regulation. Financial surveillance. Increasingly digital payments. TIC has the capital, technology and security industry to take that architecture much further. As the Forever War model abroad shrinks, the domestic police, surveillance and counterterrorism market can expand. Once the architecture exists, every genuine domestic terrorist attack creates the political justification to expand it further.
