What this doesn't show

  • No coordinated plan. Pronomos holds small stakes (a fund of about $13M) and is not a command center. Howery's interest is reported by unnamed sources.
  • No prophetic motive. Charter-city backers frame their projects in secular libertarian and economic terms. The only overlap with Direction 2 is the Gaza plan's "Abrahamic" branding.
  • ISDS isn't unique to tech libertarians. Mining and energy firms use the same tool far more often.
  • Plans aren't results. The GREAT Trust was a pitch deck, not adopted policy.
