The [Deep State] money that runs their criminal system is drying up. They are panicking.
The fake news is pushing the narrative that President Donald Trump has not accomplished or won anything. This is going to backfire because now that accomplishment and winning is being pushed, it is having the opposite effect.
Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent turned the tables on the [Deep State]. They are using the weapons that the Deep State created to control countries against them. Pain. Here’s more from the X22 Report.
Susan Kokinda analyzes U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s remarks to Larry Kudlow about tracking IRGC assets, focusing on offshore hubs like the British Virgin Islands and the broader British-linked financial architecture behind shell companies, alongside Treasury’s campaign warning 60 entities to clean up, with Hong Kong a major target.
She argues this financial offensive is part of a strategic realignment away from imperial “choke points,” echoed by Doug Burgum’s call to shift global energy focus toward the Western Hemisphere.
In the Middle East, she highlights lifted U.S. sanctions on Syria, the formation of the Mecca Joint Defense Alliance (Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan), and Trump’s “Board of Peace,” under which Hamas has agreed to disarm. She also covers G20 tensions over inviting Russia’s finance minister, Bessent’s meeting with him, and Bessent’s claim of shared U.S.-China goals on Iran. Here’s more from Promethean Updates.
The Hormuz Letter, citing two senior Iranian sources, reports that Russian officials briefed Tehran following CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s visit and that the CIA director delivered a message asking Moscow to pressure Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz. According to that report, Russian banks, traders and shipping companies connected to Iran could face additional U.S. sanctions if Moscow refused to cooperate.
Neither Washington nor Moscow has confirmed that account. If the reporting is accurate, however, it creates an extraordinary geopolitical irony. Washington has spent years sanctioning and attempting to isolate Russia over Ukraine. Now, the United States may be asking Moscow for help dealing with Iran. Here’s more from Ben Swann.
From Camp David, President Trump framed a reported Hamas disarmament agreement as a breakthrough enabled by pressure on Iran, arguing the regional strategic terrain has shifted.
The episode highlights two developments presented as unprecedented: Hamas agreeing to disarm and Israel and Lebanon resuming talks after three decades, both attributed to cutting off Iranian funding for proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah.
It claims the decisive “weapon” was Treasury action under Secretary Scott Bessent—sanctions, OFAC tools, anti–money laundering measures—described as “economic fury,” including designating over 1,000 Iranian-linked individuals, ships, and companies and disrupting routes through shipping, insurance, and offshore finance.
The script also points to the February 19, 2026 launch of the multinational “Board of Peace,” tasked with rebuilding Gaza, as a preplanned institutional blueprint that helped secure the Hamas agreement. Here’s more from Susan Kokinda on Promethean Updates.
Communist China has liquidated $688 billon in U.S. debt holdings, a clear sign of buildup for a possible global war. The crash sales of this debt — at a substantial loss for the Chinese — represents approximately 40 percent of their total holdings in American Treasury debt.
“Military assets are deceptive,” says The Archivist.” “They can be deployed and recalled to port in a matter of days. They are the theater of geopolitics designed to be seen.
“If you want to know the intent of a superpower, if you want to know if they are truly preparing for an irreversible divorce, you must look at the movement of sovereign debt.”
Among the questions addressed here:
Why selling at a loss signals preparation, not panic
How sanctions on Russia changed China’s risk calculus
Why U.S. allies are being forced to absorb China’s exit
The rise of the “Bagholder Alliance” (United Kingdom, Belgium, Japan)
How the Treasury market is becoming political, not economic
Why bonds are no longer risk-free assets
How China is converting paper claims into gold, oil, copper, and food.
Here’s a two-part series on Venezuela, digging into the efforts by the CIA, as well as the Trump administration, to topple the Socialist President Nicholas Maduro. Since 1998, when Hugo Chavez took control of Venezuela, “it is like Iran, a couple hundred miles downwind from Miami,” says Mike Benz, former cybersecurity officer for the U.S. State Department.
Here we learn about Operation Absolute Resolve, the U.S. raid that led to the capture of Maduro. But there were earlier covert monkey business as well, including Operation Gideon. This foiled armed incursion into Venezuela, in 2020, also aimed to capture Maduro. A Canadian mercenary Jordan Goudreau was involved in that effort, drawing upon assistance from a Trump security officer — Keith Schiller.
There are many other players here, from government agencies to oil companies and even airlines. Each of these two installments is roughly an hour and a half — so there’s quite a bit of depth and ground covered.
The [Deep State] is going to track ICE, which means they are assisting the criminals.
John Brennan is now sending message to James Comey that nobody is going to sing and turn on you. The [Deep State] is pushing war and Trump knows they are doing this. This is part of their 16 year plan.
Trump is using the enemies’ tactics against them. He just placed sanctions on Russia. This has been done since 2014 and it did not hurt Russia nor stop Russia.
Trump is leading the [Deep State] down the path to war and he will usher in peace. Witness the art of war. Here’s more from the X22 Report.
Lawsuits are flying over Elon Musk’s email to federal workers asking them to enumerate what they’re been working on over the last week or so. Imagine the shock of the leftists when federal workers received this effrontery!
Also, there’s a hulabaloo over where to transport transgender prisons! Imagine!
And congratulations to Dan Bongino for his new appointment as deputy director of the FBI. May he restore the value and legitimacy of that once lauded federal law enforcement agency that has most certainly hit upon hard times under the Democrats!

Here, in its entirety, is Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Carlson conducted the interview Tuesday night inside the Kremlin, and aired the piece last night over X. Much of the two-hour broadcast focuses on Ukraine, why Russia invaded the neighboring nation and where Putin sees the war ending.
Also discussed: The U.S. campaign to starve Russia from access to dollars as a trade currency and how that campaign is undermining the economy of the United States. In other words, the sanctions against Russia aren’t exactly working as planned.
And what’s a tete-a-tete, unless it inspires a rap song. Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin are joined by President Donald Trump and the hairy-legged chump Joe Biden. Here’s more HiRezTV.
