@ggreenwald He was neurologically impaired, and the DNC exalted him. Now his mental acuity has improved to the point where the DNC's idiocracy can no longer be suffered in silence. He's no great intellect, but at least he's on the mend. LGBTs for Hamas and CAIR, not so much!
@drawandstrike Yes, Maria will be under gag order by Fox Corp on the topic of China's involvement in 2020 election fraud and @jsolomonReports will defend Fox Corp. Part and parcel of the tick-tock club!
@jsolomonReports CNN did the same thing to Jesse Ventura. Hired and fired to obtain paid silence over the contracted years. FOX, CNN, NBC, ABC... all beholden to conglomerate sponsors.
🚨BOOM BOOM BOOM This morning Treasury created $1.4 trillion in mandatory bond buyers. This afternoon Treasury bought back $12.5 billion in bonds.
The Government Just Played Both Sides of Its Own Market
Let me make this really simple.
The U.S. government owes $35 trillion. That debt exists as bonds IOUs the government sold to people, banks, and countries. The government pays interest on all of it. The more it costs to borrow, the more interest it pays. The more interest it pays, the more debt it takes on to pay the interest. It's a treadmill.
The only way to slow the treadmill down is to make borrowing cheaper. And the only way to make borrowing cheaper is to make more people want to buy the bonds. Basic supply and demand. More buyers means the government can offer lower interest rates because people are competing to lend it money.
Today September 3, 2026 two things happened.
This morning, twenty-one of the world's biggest banks announced they're creating a new digital dollar. Goldman Sachs. Bank of America. Citi. Deutsche Bank. UBS. Wells Fargo. Fidelity. Twenty-one banks. The rules say every digital dollar they issue has to be backed by a real U.S. Treasury bond. One for one. Issue a digital dollar, buy a government bond.
Not because they want to hold bonds. Because the licensing rules require it. Estimates say this could create $1.4 trillion in new bond purchases by 2027.
This afternoon, the Treasury Department bought back $12.5 billion of its own bonds off the open market. Just took them out of circulation.
More buyers in the morning. Fewer bonds in the afternoon. Same Treasury. Same day.
When more people want to buy something and there's less of it available, the price goes up. When the price of a bond goes up, the interest rate goes down. When the interest rate goes down, the government pays less to borrow.
The government just made its own debt cheaper to carry. In one day. Using two moves.
But this isn't happening in isolation. This is one piece of something much bigger that's been building all year.
Treasury published the stablecoin licensing framework the GENIUS Act requiring every issuer to hold Treasury bond reserves and submit to anti-money-laundering and sanctions screening. Treasury's FinCEN and OFAC co-authored the compliance rules. Treasury's OCC is chartering the banks that will operate inside the system. Treasury doubled its bond buyback program to manage the yield curve. Treasury launched the largest sanctions package in history against Iran and declared at the G20 that the financial architecture would end the regime. Treasury is building the quantum-computing shield that protects the financial system from next-generation cyberattacks. Treasury is pulling foreign-produced equipment out of the American electrical grid under a national emergency order.
The Fed Chair stood at Jackson Hole four days ago and said the Fed's job is to set one interest rate. He blamed his own institution for 65 months of elevated inflation. He spoke for three minutes at the G20 while the Treasury Secretary ran the room for five. Jamie Dimon CEO of the largest bank in America was at the G20 for the first time in history and publicly credited Treasury for giving the private sector a seat at the table.
The Federal Reserve used to create demand for Treasury bonds by printing money and buying them. They called it quantitative easing. The Fed's balance sheet went from $900 billion to $9 trillion.
Treasury doesn't need that anymore. Treasury wrote rules that make private banks buy bonds with real money. Treasury manages the existing supply through buybacks. Treasury controls who gets a license, who gets a charter, who gets access to American consumers, and which countries get a reciprocal arrangement that lets their financial institutions participate.
The stablecoin is one piece. The buybacks are one piece. The sanctions are one piece. The bank charters, the compliance rules, the quantum defense, the grid security, the bilateral trade deals, the 65 billion barrel oil deal with Venezuela they're all pieces.
One institution is building all of them. One Secretary is announcing all of them. And one Fed Chair is sitting alongside saying it's a privilege to be there.
$35 trillion doesn't disappear. But when the same institution controls the demand for its debt, the supply of its debt, the licensing of the banks that hold its debt, the compliance rules those banks follow, the sanctions that determine who can access the system, and the physical and digital infrastructure the system runs on that institution controls the cost of carrying that debt.
That institution is the Treasury Department. And today it played both sides of its own market before the sun went down.
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.

I released documents showing Pfizer and the CIA privately acknowledged high population immunity as early as May 2020, while the public heard a different story. Americans deserve the truth. Important reporting on this from @jeffreytucker.

@BasedMikeLee Gee wiz, if only there was one senator brave enough to quit tweeting and instead to gather a coalition of 4 other senators to vote for a new majority leader.
@Zigmanfreud It was called shock and awe. The controlled demolition a few moments later was the awe part. Imagine the repercussions for insurance if commercial flights could really bring down skyscrapers. You think insurance companies can't calculate risk?
@TheLastRefuge2 yes, the Southern black methodist church circuit is a powerful political force and voting block. they're millions of legit registered voters, know how to get out the vote, and most importantly can be bought for a price.
This is chilling. Well done to Nate Friedman - he took people right onto the streets in this part of NY & allowed them to experience it with him Good for him for asking relevant questions & listening to the answers. Should be the most basic standard of all journalism but sadly today we are surrounded by cowards & political operatives who dominate much of the media.
@GaudyMoose56@JayPaterno@penn_state@PennStateFball Happy Valley was a fairly Christian conservative rural area for generations. But PSU grew to be the biggest employer and attracted liberal govt subsidies with regulatory strings attached. This legal case was at the crossroads of red and blue PA.
@Zigmanfreud Your true story is a psychoanalysis of Happy Valley in those days. Published studies show groups of school kids can falsely report sexual abuse by someone they agree to dislike - a dark subject. Most prefer the hero narrative. Poor Joe Pa, true hero and victim of the Woke mob.
