KunstlerCast 445 — Susan Kokinda of Promethean Action on Bringing Back "The American System," and other Matters
KunstlerCast - Conversations: Converging Catastrophes of the 21st CenturyShow Notes
Susan Kokinda has been politically active since 1968, when she was part of the Robert Kennedy presidential campaign in Oregon and California. She pivoted politically after that, and in the 1970's and 1980's was active in Washington, DC, defending Richard Nixon during Watergate, covering the White House during the Carter Administration, and working with Congress in support of President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative. With President Trump's 2016 victory, she knew it was time to return to Michigan. Since then, she has been organizing throughout the state, educating and building support for President Trump's commitment to make the U.S. a manufacturing superpower and to make the Republican Party the party of workers and producers. In March 2025, she was elected Coalitions Vice Chair of the Michigan Republican Party. She broadcasts on the Promethean Update YouTube channel and regularly reaches over 300,000 views. Her theme, along with her co-host Barbara Boyd, is that the real battle in the world is between the opposing principles of the American System and the British System, which represent two different images of man and society. She has been interviewed by OAN, Real America's Voice, Stephen Gardner, and numerous podcasters. The KunstlerCast theme music is the beautiful Two Rivers Waltz written and performed by Larry Unger

Alan Berman is the creator of the Psychohistory Prediction Engine: an open-source map connecting the people, money, and machinery that run things in our world. The site is self-funded with no institutional backers, and free for public use. Berman's essays can be found on Medium / X for free and act as entry points to explore the Engine. I only encountered Alan for the first time a few weeks ago. He's young, in his 30s, and has had an interesting background in martial arts training (the gym he owned was run out of business by the Covid Lockdowns), as well as radio production and a spell as a standup comedian. Get to know him. . . I plan to get him back on later this year. His website is called Moketchups.com. ("Moketchups" is a gag by standup comedian Dave Attell.) You can find the Psychohistory Prediction Engine there. The KunstlerCast theme music is the beautiful Two Rivers Waltz written and performed by Larry Unger
