Building blocks of wealth come from healthy soil & healthy people. Economics of money, mineral rights, raw materials & cows on grass.

CIA whistleblower claims the agency “took back 40 boxes of JFK and MK-Ultra files” that Tulsi Gabbard was reviewing for declassification.

The whistleblower also alleges the CIA “illegally monitored the computer and phone usage” of Gabbard’s investigators during the probe into the COVID-19 origins cover-up.

“These were Americans being spied on illegally while carrying out duties directed by the President and under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence.”

@Sorenthek Sounds like an ARB of some sort. Earlier in 2026 premiums were 13% above western benchmarks in Shanghai. Gold imported into the US and then exported.

@SaysSimulation Carney is a UK banker after all . UK & Europe desperately need Canadian resources as collateral for unpayable debts. There will be conflict with the US and UK/Europe over Canada.

This will be a confusing time for a while. Dollars have been flooding into US assets rather than US goods since 1991. At an ever growing margin though, dollars are returning to US shores as purchase orders for US goods rather than US assets. The over levered financial economy is going to be a tough place to be while producers of real US goods are seeing real increases.

@mark_slapinski Old sausage fingers hands were hurting-Trump bailed him out of the humiliation.

@WanjiruNjoya Only because drug running had become way more profitable for them.

@TFL1728 I would chalk this up as wartime finance. War is conducted across multiple fronts & oil prices is one of the vectors.

@TheAmMessenger @EricLDaugh Since they have billions invested in London , that’s not going to happen

@FreightAlley @mrenaud04 There is huge multiplier to the economy when real goods trade at profitable prices.

@RudyHavenstein I’m thinking MI-6. The Mullahs have billions invested in London. UK is practicing Sharia Law in many areas. London didn’t want US using its bases. They are outside the “ circle of trust” now . Chatham house & all the empire think tanks are really whining right now.

@RudyHavenstein The IRGC.

Haha. Good one. I'm thinking if the private equity bubble bursts then that may offsets some of the war time money printing with asset price deflation and credit contraction. Inflation and deflation at the same time. The FED is going to have to do an eye peeling amount of QE to get the dollar down to a level that reshoring can really take off. Bessent even has to buy gold to get the dollar down --not much else seems to work.
