"THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!"
President Trump announces the U.S. has entered into a sweeping oil agreement with Venezuela that he says gives America majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven Venezuelan oil reserves at no cost to taxpayers.
Trump says the deal will more than double American oil reserves, boost supply and "substantially lower Gas Prices" while strengthening ties between Washington and Caracas.
TOM LEE SAYS THE “ETHEREUM ethereum:native HAS NO VALUE” NARRATIVE IS A BEAR MARKET TRAP
He compares it to the old argument that people liked blockchains, but not crypto:
- Some investors say they like Ethereum, but are not sure ETH itself has value
- Tom Lee says that is similar to saying you believe in blockchains, but not Bitcoin $BTC or crypto
- His view is that the narrative disappears once the crypto bull market starts and Ethereum begins moving higher
The big loser at this year's Jackson Hole is the Yen, with $/JPY crossing back above 160. The one thing we know for sure is that FX intervention cannot work unless it's backed up by monetary policy. Long-term JGB yields in Japan must rise to save the Yen.

On August 28, 2026, China’s National People’s Congress officially removed 75-year-old combat veteran Zhang Youxia from the Central Military Commission, marking the fifth top general purged out of seven core members. Once viewed as Xi Jinping’s most trusted military ally, the senior vice chairman was ousted following investigations into grave disciplinary breaches and compromised nuclear intelligence.
A widely circulated 2023 photo of China’s top military leadership taking their official oath now looks like a ghost portrait. Of all the high-ranking generals pictured, nearly every single figure has been stripped of power, leaving military discipline chief Zhang Shengmin as the sole uniformed survivor alongside Xi.
Zhang Youxia was the People’s Liberation Army’s most senior officer, a rare veteran of the Sino-Vietnamese border war, and a fellow party princeling. Yet decades of personal family ties could not shield him from state security probes involving defense procurement bribery, factionalism, and alleged leaks of nuclear missile data.
When a regime purges virtually its entire top military command in a matter of months, does it signal absolute party control or dangerous internal instability?
China is Iran’s largest trading partner, providing resources used to fund their terrorist proxies, weapons programs, and drone technology.
They must face consequences if they continue to support a regime that openly threatens America and global security.

TOM LEE SAYS BITMINE $BMNR BOUGHT ALMOST 5% OF ETHEREUM ethereum:native IN 14 MONTHS
The playbook was simple: clean capital structure, equity funding, and raising above NAV:
- BitMine is almost at 4.9% of the Ethereum supply, with a 5% target
- The buildout was funded with equity, with no debt and no convertible instruments
- Tom Lee says they timed it well by raising capital above NAV, which helped grow Ethereum held per share
Live Rounds in a Jamsil Hotel Bin Prompt Police Inquiry.
YouTuber Kim Jin has reported that staff at a five-star hotel in Songpa-gu, Seoul, found a small magazine and three 9mm live rounds in the trash.
No firearm was recovered. Police are checking whether the ammunition is genuine and how it arrived there; officials have not treated the find as an espionage case.
A separate incident last month in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, ended differently: 44 rounds in apartment waste were traced to an active-duty officer who had held extra ammunition after a station move and later discarded it.
The Jamsil hotel find is not yet tied to that explanation.
Live ammunition in civilian spaces is a public-safety issue whether the cause is sloppy handling or something else.
Until ownership is established, speculation outruns the file.
If hotel waste and apartment dumps keep turning up service-caliber rounds, should the public expect a clearer accounting of how official ammunition is stored, moved, and checked—not only who threw the bag away?
Warsh had to sound hawkish yesterday. That wasn't a signal for a September hike, but about containing long yields, which rose sharply after his dovish performance on July 29. The joint objective of Treasury and the Fed is to cap long yields. A new accord.

China's deployment of RHIBs to snatch airdropped food packs for Filipino troops on the BRP Sierra Madre is a direct escalation. Using military force to intercept basic rations proves Beijing's strategy relies on coercion, not law.
