🚨 THE RESOURCE ESTATE, THE OWNERSHIP LANGUAGE, AND THE PAYMENT RAIL: ALL THREE THREADS IN ONE PLACE

Jim Rickards is framing this as Trump "unlocking" roughly $150 trillion in dormant American wealth. Be precise about that number. There is no $150 trillion cash trust fund at Treasury. The figure traces to a 2013 Institute for Energy Research estimate: about $128 trillion in technically recoverable oil and gas tied to federal lands, valued at $100 oil, with federal coal added on top. Most of that oil is Green River oil shale, which has never been produced commercially. It's resource value in the ground, not spendable cash.

But go backward, because that's where it gets interesting.

July 23, 2013. Obama Interior, sworn testimony to the Senate. Interior described offshore energy resources as "owned by all Americans." It said federal lands and resources "belong to the public." And it closed: "these federal resources are managed for the good of the American people, who all share in their ownership."

November 7, 2019. Trump Interior, same committee, same kind of bill. "The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to enact laws respecting the property belonging to the United States. Our federal resources are managed on behalf of the American people, who all share in their ownership and speak through their elected leaders in Congress."

Two administrations, six years apart, the same principle in nearly the same words. Both were arguing that this wealth belongs to all Americans nationally, not to the states it sits in.

February 3, 2025. EO 14196 orders a plan for a U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund: "It is the policy of the United States to maximize the stewardship of our national wealth for the sole benefit of American citizens." Treasury and Commerce are directed to design the funding mechanisms, investment strategy, structure and governance, and to identify any need for legislation.

Trump Accounts. Public Law 119-21 created individually owned accounts under 26 U.S.C. §530A and a Treasury-funded pilot under §6434. For qualifying U.S.-citizen children born 2025 through 2028, Treasury deposits $1,000 directly into the child's account.

The plumbing: TREASURY → IDENTIFIED U.S. CITIZEN → INDIVIDUALLY TITLED INVESTMENT ACCOUNT.

And it goes further than the $1,000. IRS Notice 2025-68 lets governments make qualified general contributions through Treasury, split equally across every account in a defined class, outside the normal annual limit. The entities listed include the United States itself.

Put it together:
→ Rickards points at an enormous federal resource estate.
→ Both parties' Interior Departments told Congress, under oath, that Americans "all share in their ownership."
→ Trump ordered a sovereign-wealth structure built around national wealth "for the sole benefit of American citizens."
→ Congress built citizen accounts that Treasury can already fund directly.

That does not prove resource wealth is headed to Americans. It doesn't prove royalties, gold revaluation gains, Bitcoin reserves, or fund earnings will land in Trump Accounts. There is no enacted bridge between those assets and those accounts. Today the accounts are for minors, and withdrawals are locked during the growth period.

THE RESOURCES ARE REAL. THE OWNERSHIP LANGUAGE IS ON THE RECORD. THE FUND ORDER IS REAL. THE PAYMENT VEHICLE IS REAL.

The missing piece is one law connecting them.
The fund order itself flagged "any need for legislation." And in 2019 Interior told Congress exactly who writes it: the American people "speak through their elected leaders in Congress."

That's the sentence to watch for.

TRUMP'S WAY: A history-breaking milestone for the most covers of all time-- surpassing the previous record that stood for more than half a century.

President Trump has built a booming economy, made the country safer, and improved the lives of Americans. That is fact.

MAGA!

@SidneyPowell1__ I have been shook and still shaking!

[Josh Barnett-AZ @BarnettforAZ]

All @Adrian_Fontes does is lie…about everything.

[Kari Lake @KariLake]

I’m optimistic. We’re going to win. We have to.

Ask yourself: do you want caravans of unvetted migrants coming in? Deportations blocked? Radical judges running the executive branch?

I don’t.

At my agency, everything we try gets stopped, thwarted, slowed down. It’s a judicial coup. These judges think they’re the president. They’re not.

Thank God for @POTUS.

The midterms are our opportunity to fight back. Get registered. Make a plan. Vote to save our country.

Adrian Fontes “Unhinged, Belligerent and Untruthful” at Secretary of State’s Debate

Tonight Arizonans watched their chief election officer come unhinged on live television. When I asked Adrian Fontes to account for how he made his money — as the defense attorney for the accused ringleader of an illegal gun running scheme that killed federal agents, he turned belligerent rather than give a straight answer.

Our campaign has heard from Arizonans in every corner of this state, including people who voted for him four years ago, who tell us he is no longer their choice.

They are ready for world-class elections that Republicans, Independents and Democrats alike can be proud of, and for a Secretary of State who can keep his composure when asked about his own record.

[Kari Lake War Room @KariLakeWarRoom]

If @Adrian_Fontes didn’t want to be called a cartel lawyer, he shouldn’t have worked for the Sinaloa Cartel.

Whatever integrity Fontes once had, he sold for a paycheck to represent the Fast and the Furious gun runners that murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.

🚨On the morning of September 30, 2026, the last American soldier left Iraq.

On the afternoon of September 30, 2026, Treasury published three enforcement actions.

The first designated 10 individuals and entities across five countries for procuring weapons for Iran's military. Operation Economic Outcast. China. Hong Kong. Pakistan. Saudi Arabia. Turkey. The financial pipeline that feeds Iran's missile and drone programs mapped and sanctioned.

The second designated 50 Sinaloa Cartel leaders and corruption networks in Baja California, including the ex-husband of the sitting governor. The cartel's captured-institution architecture mapped and sanctioned.

The third designated 10 targets in Tren de Aragua's financial network for stealing millions from American banks through ATM jackpotting attacks. A Venezuelan gang's cyber-fraud operation mapped and sanctioned.

Three actions. Three different target classes. Three different regions of the world. Same building. Same afternoon. Same day the military mission ended.

The TdA action is the one that tells you where this is going.

His name is Prometheus. Anibal Alexander Canelon Aguirre. FBI Ten Most Wanted. He engineered the malware. The software forces ATMs to dispense every bill inside them without debiting an account. The criminals break into the machine, install the code, activate it remotely, and a facilitator stands at the ATM while it empties itself.

They call it jackpotting.

$40.73 million stolen. Over 1,500 attacks. Across the United States. The proceeds laundered through cryptocurrency and transferred to TdA members in Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, and elsewhere.

Prometheus designed the malware from outside the country. His crews deployed across American cities. They hit the ATMs, collected the cash, converted it to crypto, and sent it home. A Venezuelan terrorist organization funding itself by robbing American banks through their own machines.

98 people indicted by the Department of Justice. 10 designated by OFAC today. The charges include material support for a Foreign Terrorist Organization — because TdA was designated as an FTO on February 20, 2025.

Without the FTO designation, these are bank fraud cases. Federal crimes, serious penalties, but ordinary. With the FTO designation, they're terrorism cases. The defendants face 20 to 335 years. The designation is the multiplier. Same tool that turned CJNG drug cases into narco-terrorism charges in the Czech Republic. Same tool that produced the first guilty pleas for material support in Texas. The FTO designation doesn't change what the defendants did. It changes what the law can do to them.

Joint Task Force Vulcan ran this investigation. Vulcan was created in 2019 to eradicate MS-13. It has now been expanded to target TdA. The task force built for one gang was repurposed for another without starting over. The institutional architecture was already in place. The target changed. The tool didn't.

Vulcan includes U.S. Attorney's Offices in New York, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Indiana, Nevada, Arizona, and Nebraska. Plus the National Security Division. Plus the Criminal Division. Plus the FBI, DEA, HSI, ATF, U.S. Marshals, and the Bureau of Prisons. Plus international partners through the DEA office in Bogotá.

That's not an investigation. That's a standing enforcement infrastructure that points at whatever target the government assigns it.

MS-13 in 2019. TdA in 2026. The tool was built once. It's been used twice. It will be used again.

Now hold all three actions against the morning's news.

The last American soldiers left Erbil Air Base. Operation Inherent Resolve twelve years of fighting the Islamic State ended. The military mission closed. The AUMF that authorized the presence was repealed. The boots are packed. The planes are home.

And Treasury published three designations covering Iranian weapons procurement, Mexican cartel leadership, and Venezuelan cyber-terrorism financing. Before the day was over.

The military left Iraq. The financial enforcement hit three continents. The pen didn't wait for the boots to clear the runway. The pen was already working.

This is what the transition looks like in practice. Not in theory. Not in a policy paper. In the Federal Register on a Tuesday afternoon.

The 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force gave the president the authority to keep soldiers in Iraq for twenty years. The repeal closed that door. Every military action now needs current authorization with current receipts.

OFAC doesn't need an AUMF. OFAC needs an executive order, a designation package, and a press release. The authority is permanent. The instrument is instant. The reach is global. No base required. No deployment. No authorization vote. A designation from a desk on Pennsylvania Avenue reaches every bank on earth before close of business.

A soldier in Fallujah could secure one city block. A Treasury designation freezes assets in every jurisdiction that touches the dollar which is every jurisdiction on earth.

The soldier came home today. The designation went out today. One door closed. Three opened. Same government. Same afternoon. Different tool.

September 30, 2026.

Iran's weapons pipeline designated across five countries.

Sinaloa's leadership designated down to the governor's ex-husband.

Tren de Aragua's ATM jackpotting network designated down to the malware engineer on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.

And the last soldier walked off a base in Iraq and boarded a plane.

Three designations. One withdrawal. Same day. The pen replaced the rifle. The financial rail replaced the kinetic rail. And the transition happened in plain sight, on a Tuesday, documented in Treasury press releases that 159,000 people saw on Twitter before dinner.

Follow the pen. The pen doesn't need a base. The pen works from everywhere. And the pen never leaves.

The sources are the U.S. Department of the Treasury press releases sb0637, sb0638, and sb0640, OFAC Recent Actions September 29-30, 2026, and CNN's reporting on the completion of the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq.

Timelines. Patterns. The general's words, not mine. All I did was read the receipts.

I am the guy on the couch, and you have been debriefed.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin reveals he is now finding out that some state officials likely knew about voter fraud and illegal voting, but refused to prosecute it

"As we're getting the voter logs from 47 states...we're realizing there's ACTUALLY A LOT. And we believe some states probably KNEW about it, and chose not to look into it."

"Over 1,600 voter fraud cases currently investigating and 300,000 MORE WE'RE GETTING TO. HSI is leading these investigations." 💯

So now the Trump admin is cross-checking names and finding MORE FRAUD THAN EXPECTED

ANY official suspected of this needs to be investigated themselves and removed from office

Voter fraud is a serious offense and it cancels out the votes of American citizens

I guarantee you most of it happened in blue states! California, Minnesota and New York are PRIME SUSPECTS.

[Monica @Moniesplace]

@EricLDaugh @AZSecretary Looks like you’re gonna be in trouble Adrian Fontes.

@KariLake @KariLakeWarRoom WOW! Old habits die hard

[Monica @Moniesplace]

I think he did! Is that legal to threaten your political opponent for stating facts during a debate? Maybe if you work for the cartel?

[Kari Lake @KariLake]

Did Alex Kolodin just get threatened by a cartel lawyer? Scary.

[Monica @Moniesplace]

@azjustinheap @AZSecretary Fontes is a criminal. Thank you for your unrelenting diligence in trying to secure out elections. Deal with Fontes is an absolute nightmare because he is such a low life criminal and he thinks he has the transnational criminal syndicate to cover him.

Through the Looking Glass

Did anyone notice that Trimmed Mean PCE is 1.92%?

The Federal Reserve is living in Lewis Carroll’s looking-glass world: strong growth is treated as inflationary, supply expansion is treated as a threat, and tariffs and energy shocks are treated as reasons to punish the economy. The data say the opposite.

2Q GDP was revised to 2.2 % from 1.5 %, while real final sales to private domestic purchasers rose 4.6 percent annualized. Consumer spending grew 3.8 percent, and business investment remains powerful.

The upward GDP revision also implies productivity is increasing: the economy is producing more output without a comparable increase in labor input. Yet August core PCE inflation came in below expectations. Core prices rose only 0.2 percent on the month, and the monthly numbers show a welcome decline. A one-off explosion in cellular-services prices is hardly cause for concern. Trimmed Mean PCE is 1.92%, below the Fed 2% target!

Growth is accelerating while inflation decelerates. That is not overheating. That is supply-side economics.

Tariffs do not cause inflation. They change relative prices. A tariff raises the price of an imported good, but the added cost comes out of purchasing power elsewhere. It is a tax on trade, not a monetary expansion.

The same is true of energy shocks: higher fuel prices are a tax on growth, reducing real household income and demand. There are no meaningful second- or third-round inflation effects here. Treating these one-time price adjustments as evidence of generalized inflation is a category error.

Meanwhile, AI capital spending, tax incentives, deregulation, and expanded energy production are creating a noninflationary growth cocktail. Data centers, chips, machinery, grids, and factories expand productive capacity. They raise output per worker rather than bidding up a fixed supply of goods. The Fed cannot lower the price of electricity, memory, or industrial capacity by suppressing housing, credit, and investment.

The Keynesian demand-side theory formalized in textbooks as the Hicks-Hansen model assumes growth must create inflation. Today’s numbers refute it. The Fed does not face a choice between growth and price stability. It faces a choice between recognizing a supply-side boom and strangling it. In the looking-glass economy, the greatest inflation risk is not too much growth. It is a central bank determined to punish it.
