4 ways of spending money by Milton Friedman.
1. Your own money on yourself — You care deeply about both the cost and the quality.
2. Your own money on someone else — You care about the cost, but less about how good the result is for the other person.
3. Someone else’s money on yourself — You care a lot about quality, but almost not at all about the cost.
4. Someone else’s money on someone else — You care about neither cost nor quality.
The fourth way is how gov't spending works.

This story smells of misinformation by the @FT
Lets discuss the phrase "Intervention".
When you intervene on two 5 five year olds fighting, as an adult you are yanking them apart, and separating them.
Inherently 'intervention' is where a far more dominant force changes the course of events, by virtue of a superior scale/power.
The kids are no longer able to scrap, they may do so again later, when the interventionist is not present, but for now a different outcome transpired through a third force imposing itself.
Back to Bessent.
1. The highly likely 'stage managed note reveal' said buy JPY for $5 - $10Bn.
Do you think $5-$10 Bn is a dominant force for currency markets?
2. We are told he sold Euro's, because to sell USD would be a weakening of the USD? It spilled terribly anyway.
However the EURUSD closed up on Friday, Thursday, Wednesday & Tuesday, 4 days in a row.
The daily volume in FX on the EURUSD is around $2.0–2.03 trillion per day (average daily turnover), based on the latest Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Triennial Central Bank Survey of April 2025 (final data)
$5-$10Bn is utter 'chickenfeed', if even true. It is like showing up to the poker table with a $2,000 a hand minimum with a $5 or $10 note.
Unsurprisingly, if it happened as stated, it had little baring on the EURUSD exchange rate, which traded up. The US also runs a trade deficit with the EU. So it mostly buys EUR one would imagine, at least in the net sense generally.
3. The dollar was consistently weak all last week, with rates on Bonds going UP, a sign of debt based stress for the US, as usually rates climbing strengthen the currency NOT weaken it!
Unless of course risk for the US Debt & Fiat markets are being repriced!
3. We are meant to then believe the US bought $5-$10Bn of Yen, and also that the Japanese bought $58Bn of Yen. [Total of $63-68Bn]
At least here we saw the Yen clearly strengthen substantially, a high on Thursday [USDJPY] of 164.00 to end Friday at 157.45 a massive 655 points session. A 4% move in a day.
4. We also had Bessent 'jawboning', the YEN stronger stating it was an undervalued currency.
Since when does US Treasury figures, make empirical statements, regarding the under valuation of other major nations currencies, especially in support of that nations concerns [Agreement].
[*Not to be confused with politicking and calling China a currency manipulator, for not having a stronger Yuan (Disagreement)]
Then further to that, to then ACT on those concerns by also burning taxpayers Dollars, to be part of that interventionary force, against the markets own price discovery mechanism.
There are many other more likely scenarios of what is really going on than the tale we are being sold.
I'd be lucky to guess it, but I will try with one or two anyway, here are some possible scenarios:
1. Repatriation to Japan: Japan has been selling UST's in some scale, for their local currency.
US Bond values down, rates go up, USD goes down & Yen goes up.
This at least matches the market moves that transpired.
Japan notified the US of their intention and the misdirected convoluted story surrounding the Yen was pieced together, making this appear as a Japanese event, rather than a US fiat/debt 'Fragility' based one.
2. A major roll of a carry trade loan or repayment thereof, needed to be unwound, by some US institution(s) that was always going to be a bit of a bump in the road by size, had to take place.
US collateral/Investment [UST's] was sold and exchanged into Yen to make good previous carry trade debts.
Similar to (1) above just different parties, and more 'carry trade' specific. Same actual effect on currencies and bonds.
[Neither scenario had any aspects relating to the Euro, as no meaningful Euro events appeared to have even transpired]
3. Could the US actually want the YEN to appreciate sincerely, and what if they actually did buy some Yen to make this happen?
[*Central Banker intervention is 'short term band aid, but long term folly', ask the SNB when the EURCHF was still 1.50 later 1.20 - today 0.93 on a zero yield for the CHF]
If so, why?
Well much like the US, Japan is a highly indebted nation.
Their rates on their bonds are climbing faster than the US rates, also in an environment of 'higher rates yet devaluing currency' simultaneously, a distress signal for both Fiat & Debt, like the US.
[*From a lower base rate, and Japan are still in percentage terms lower, but the differential between the two by duration is reducing]
As the US is the most chronically exposed nation to the 'Carry Trade', and Bessent represents the US banker cartels needs, they may indeed be expressing deep concerns about the increasing rates to be paid on carry trade loans.
[Hyperscalers, Cayman Island hedge funds, holding up the basis trade (Which is huge bid support to UST's), who knows who or what may be involved in the carry]
Bessent may assume that reducing the Yens devaluation, may lead to a slowing of the Japanese rate increases in Japanese bond rates.
Or even more simply, that if Japan goes into a debt & currency based spiral crisis, as a substantial first world economy, it will be impossible to stop the debt & fiat based contagion from spilling onto America next.
In short - we cant let any one domino commence falling in the Debt/Fiat game.
4. JAPAN as vasal state or Slave nation to the US/Israel axis.
The reason Bessent feels so 'entitled' to talk on Japans' currency's behalf, is that post WWII all fiscal sovereignty on the big items were lost to the US.
[See our YT with Prof Werner - Princess of the Yen]

In short at least at a financial level Japan is a 51st state with its own currency.
They provide cheap funding for the US casino, the carry trade.
Japan runs a trade surplus with the US, which is how they ended up stuffed with fast devaluing UST's as collateral, but appear unable to wind this exposure down.
In short they are slaves who are to be buried with the aging Pharaohs [US] in his tomb.
So they need to be maintained, till this co-ordinated 'death day' or juncture and then they are shackled to the proverbial US mast, to meet their financial fate, alongside their dying captor.
The recent stresses and balancing efforts is no more than the lurching of the two aging ships tied together in a death pact in the growing storm. All measures are to co-ordinate and maintain the hegemony and his slave in the best way to survive until the designated date or moment of their sinking and to obfuscate this eventual outcome and the situational severity, till the many realise the fact too late.

MERIDIAN. A Phantom X Original.
This is the audience-driven show you voted for. Here's how it works.
I will release the first episode. You comment what happens next, on whatever platform you're watching. One week later, the top ideas go to a 24-hour vote. The winner becomes the next episode. Then we do it again.
If your idea wins, it's canon forever, and your name is in the credits.
Episode one is already in production. It's the last one I write alone. Let's have some fun.
@man_of_options I agree that we should not make assumptions. We should delve deep into the word, in the original languages, with a teacher who can explain properly. Please consider the following study of Genesis. I've provided a link.
