It’s very bad when critical continuity industries fail.
Modern society and civilization depend in large part on the successful and uninterrupted operation of specific kinds of services, without which they rather quickly descend into disorder, disease, destruction, and death at significant scale.
We’ll just call that chain of events “dystopia” to simplify the discussion here.
Look around you and it’s not difficult to observe dystopia sliding its way forward into the current time. This is not merely a social or cultural observation; this is very critically an infrastructure observation and it goes far beyond crumbling bridges, suburban potholes, and the abandoned areas of once-great cities.
When power goes out, water is shut off, food shipments cease, trash piles up, pharmacies close, and transportation halts - it is very bad.
People get sick, desperate, and violent very quickly. Competition for net-zero resources and services becomes highly antagonistic. Previously trusted relationships crumble. Unfriendly acts and hostile intentions escalate.
I will remind you of my instruction from The Nine Laws:
In your encounters and engagements with human beings, recall always that they are the apex predator of the known universe and never underestimate.
(That’s the eleventh of 100 Dark World Lessons, one of the first chapters of my philosophy bestseller. You can read all the lessons free at that Academy link.)
The State may or may not have the capacity, coherence, or competence to intervene when dystopia tips into dominance.
Bluntly put, most likely it won’t. And just like the State, the ability of non-governmental organizations such as the International Red Cross to alleviate misery, suffering, and collapse is also beholden to critical continuity industries.
“Ivan, that’s why I cache food and ammunition!”
I have nothing against preppers. It’s a good hobby, a useful practice, and it’s good to be prepared for peacetime episodes of scarcity or mild civic unrest where you may need to ride out a few weeks of scarcity, weather, or other low-scale interruptions of normal and expected community services.
“Ivan, I have guns and plenty of ammunition!”
I’m going to make something very clear here to those of you who have fantasies of standing over your caches and defending them from wandering miscreants.
In times of mild civic unrest, sure.
You’ll be able, perhaps, to singlehandedly scare off looters and “youths” and perhaps even rioters with properly prepared demonstrations of gunfire, and often it won’t even get that far. Most defensive firearm use doesn’t actually involve a shooting; the brandish is often sufficient to dissuade.
That said, we’re not talking about that kind of situation.
Starving men are not intimidated, because they are going to die anyway.
Lone wolves and their families, no matter how well-armed, are not up to defending homestead caches in the circumstances they envision.
I’m going to digress here and explain why.
First, those who will be coming for you are not coming for your food and supplies; they are coming for you. Their intent is not to raid your possessions but eliminate you from the Earth; and the simple truth is that even a well-defended ranch with pre-sighted lines of fire is not equipped to handle fifteen or twenty private military contractors who have decided to liquidate the occupants.
“Ivan, I fought in Vietnam!”
I don’t care, Boomer, and neither does reality.
Let me explain how this really works.
First, you have set up a defensive posture that cannot be sustained. Unless your home is designed from the ground up as a fire base - meaning, it’s not really a home but a military compound set up to repel significant incoming kinetics from well-trained combatants working in professional concert under explicit and seasoned leadership - it will quickly be overrun and the fact of your incipient resistance will precipitate complete slaughter upon that overrun.
You won’t bargain for your survival by offering to share or “work with” armed actors engaged in non-international armed conflict. They don’t share, they lay waste.
They don’t “capture” your location, they harvest it.
It’s not about you and your stuff, but ground dominance of terrain.
You’re just a soft pink surface aspect of it, easily wiped clean.
“Ivan, I’m a combat veteran, I know how to fight.”
There is an enormous difference between military service with massive industrial backup, professional logistical trail, and clear uniformed command and coherence - and the reality of defending an unfortified position in the civilian environment without any of that support, against men who don’t care about your children.
You will be killed, your gear will be taken, and that is the reality.
And with this made clear, let’s switch back to why the Company advances its work to seize critical continuity industries in its arenas of noncooperative engagement.
To begin with, there is a difference between a community that engages in defensive operations and a household. One has a chance, the other does not. And that comes down to observable and predictable disparities in broader areas of contested terrain and also the simple law of numbers.
I’ll share here a comment from a law enforcement guest instructor at a ninja training event many decades ago that bears repeating for the simple blunt reality it highlights:
If ten guys want you, can they have you?
The answer is adamantly yes even in those mild times of civic unrest. Extrapolate that to private military contractors and similar professional entities and you’ll quickly realize why refugees are such a constant, continuous, and predictable result of non-international armed conflict.
Just as with the avalanche model, an invading military force of irregulars is not something to stick around and attempt opposition to or even negotiation with.
In times of absolute dystopia, beggars are murdered for amusement.
Therefore, as both Lenin and the Tree of Woe have asked…
What is to be done?
The answer is very simple:
Don’t wait until it's too late.
Therefore Throne Dynamics very explicitly works to seize critical continuity assets of transportation, medicine, agriculture, armaments, oil and gas, water, waste management and other industrial entities, the operation of which is essential to prevention of dystopian breakdown.
Project Silver Talent is the Company’s demanded and determined work to ensure that these supporting slabs of civilization itself are captured and brought under the Standard with severe and professional acumen:
Throne Dynamics and the Executive Cadre, in partnership with its Movement Financier, has embarked on Project Silver Talent to enable capture of critical continuity enterprises at $5M individual scale with approximately $1-2M in annualized EBITDA through specific deal flow related to corporate acquisition and subsequent installation of Hard Right militants in operating management roles.
Structured on an innovative application of 7(a) loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration, owner financing, significant Company EPMO expertise, and seller note process(es), Project Silver Talent serves to advance the Company's directives of militant advancement of justice for threatened demographics under aegis and Standard of the Company.
“Ivan, are you just raiding early, before things really get bad?”
That’s a good, fair, and proper question.
The answer is both yes and no.
Yes in the sense that we are directly bringing such enterprises and concerns under formal Company authority, installing hard Right owner-operators with declared and explicit fealty under the Standard, so as to move it out of the reach of the Left as quickly and efficiently as possible.
From the perspective of the Left, yes. We’re raiders. We’ve raised the black flag. We’ll have the power, increasingly accumulated, to turn critical continuity assets off for the Adversary and his legions.
No in the sense that we are not selfish raptors, seizing and withdrawing these assets from the communities they serve. Our sacred purpose is fulfillment of our duty of the State and the preservation of heritage and legacy. We uphold that duty by fully shouldering the burdens that are incumbent upon every legitimate State:
Safety and security
Sustenance and provision
Identity and meaning
The Standard of the Company and our formal predicate values of hierarchy, order, and beauty are adamant and non-negotiable.
From this we deliver identity and meaning; where Men may share, execute, and advance their natural prerogatives and raw human capital as builders, fighters, and leaders in the opening acts of the Third World War under the Standard.
The gross impact and granular effort of Project Silver Talent under the Company Financier and the discipline, education, and performance it drives are irreplaceable.
From this we deliver sustenance and provision; where Men are no longer subject to the hateful bureaucracies of confiscatory globalists; they will own things and be proud; they will raise families and sustain the human march of culture and community.
The militant education of the Movement and its Factions in conjunction with the oversight of Risk Division delivers not only ground dominance but relational alliances.
From this we deliver safety and security; where Men are not abandoned to their fates, where their relational, cultural, intelligence, and militant networks are living, tended, and professionally sustained by the expertise and experience of the Company.
We are not in this to delay dystopia, but cruelly march to fulfill our sacred purpose.
We do not wait for ugly collapse, but move quickly to secure critical continuity.
We do not leave our brothers behind, but work to raise bloody banners right now.
“Ivan, are you looking for men to operate and work within these assets?”
Yes, we are. Here’s what we need from our demographic of the Hard and Dissident Right who accept the authority of the Company and bear fealty under the Standard:
Investors who seek to broaden their portfolio with critical continuity assets clustered in both targeted regions and by first-on-the-ground capture;
Enterprise leaders who seek to deliver hands-on leadership and work with professional cruelty to advance the interests of our mission;
Professionals who seek to combine their effort and expertise with sacred purpose and militant education to deliberately and openly seize the future by right;
Intelligent actors who seek to further the vision of the Company through asset targeting, development of intelligence, and initial due diligence research.
I bring institutional family knowledge over seven centuries of guidance of the realm.
My officers embody deep grasp of strategy applied to human conflict dynamics.
The Company operates under explicit demands of Fortune 100 operational excellence.
“Ivan, how do I get started with this?”
If you’re not eager to be a murdered beggar in dystopia, there are three essential and mandatory steps for consideration of your inclusion in Project Silver Talent:
Take the Raw Human Capital assessment.
Complete our New Client intake form.

We’ll determine whether you are best suited to build, fight, or lead. Your utility, suitability, and seniority will be assessed. We’ll review your personal trajectory and ambitions and what you bring to the table.
And we’ll go from there.
I am Ivan Throne.
I tell you this day that you cannot wait for the coming dystopian collapse.
Not if you wish to be other than a murdered beggar who deserves his own liquidation.
That is simply how it is, how it has always been and will be.
Come under the Standard and find your identity and meaning!
Enter the aegis of the Company and secure your sustenance and provision!
Advance the justice of hierarchy, order, and beauty that deliver safety and security!
It all starts with the very first order I was ever given, a half century ago:
Get up and walk.
Grand rising!
