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.
