Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Sometimes you can get so far into the rabbit hole that you just need to transmit the signal and let others figure it out. So, here’s some sketchy stuff that doesn’t make sense, but then again…
You might remember my mentioning that something was odd after Zelenskyy visited London in early June and then a series of unexplained events started happening. Well, maybe what I am about to share connects to that, or maybe it’s just my imagination.
It all started when I took the announcement of De Nederlandsche Bank transferring gold from Canada and the USA, then overlaid their reported timeline with other stuff I have been tracking. According to the announcement: “Between March and August 2026, approximately 86 tonnes of gold were transferred from the combined total of approximately 313 tonnes held in the United States and Canada to London.” {source}
Now, mind you the official public notice just happened yesterday, Sept 2nd.
Between March and August 2026? A very interesting set of dates, considering the Dutch claim their move was due to uncertainty with the USA and Canada economic and trade positions, yet those economic/trade positions were not tenuous until very late August.
Why move gold out of Canada in March?
Here’s the interesting timing. Do you remember when Canada reported a 0.0% GDP growth in the first quarter, and technically that put them into a defined recession. That narrative was not in the interests of Mark Carney who was -perhaps not coincidentally- repeatedly visiting the EU after taking up the leadership position for the “new, middle-power world order.” In fact, the Canadian GDP result was widely reported and a sore spot for Carney’s govt.
Amid the global opposition to a new American geopolitical framework there is some seriously sketchy stuff taking place. My next article will outline something in the background that may put these comments by Jamieson Greer into an entirely new context.
In this interview with Fox News, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer outlines more specifics of what took place between the U.S. and Canada trade discussions. Suffice to say, Mark Carney is up to some really sketchy stuff on behalf of his globalist allies, including the EU-NATO coalition.
Pay close attention to what Greer says in this interview and remember, there are trillions at stake. The source for this video is X. WATCH:
As President Trump, DHS and ICE continue the border enforcement and deportation effort there are some statistics now worth reviewing.
The U.S. Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) is reporting a population decline of 3 million foreign born persons in the USA as a result of the ongoing Trump administration effort to locate, capture and remove illegal aliens. Obviously, it has taken time to get up to speed on the overall deportation side of the issue; however, Trump has effectively removed a year of open border entrants.
The current number of foreign-born persons is now at the Jan 2024 level and declining as the four years of the Biden surge are being removed.
There is still a long way to go, and against the Lawfare opposition it has been a tough slog. It also took a long time for DHS, CBP and ICE to retool and get up to speed. That said, the pace of exfiltration is now faster than before. More illegals are being identified and removed at a faster pace.
Additionally, as word spreads about the consequences of not self-deporting, more unlawful migrants are now reevaluating their risk. While it is still early, the pace is rapid enough to completely eliminate the Biden surge. There is more optimism for that outcome than before. The issue now is one of political resolve against a hardened, leftist, communist, internal enemy who support open-borders.
[UPDATE BELOW] In a rather terse statement [SEE HERE] Fox News has announced that Maria Bartiromo is no longer employed by the media network.
NEW YORK – September 3, 2026 — Effective today, Maria Bartiromo is no longer with FOX News Media.
In making the announcement, FOX News Media said, “We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter.”
Maria Bartiromo became increasingly popular amid the MAGA base during the research and revelations surrounding the ‘Spygate’ and ‘Russiagate’ storyline. Bartiromo often had several guests on her Sunday Morning Futures program that highlighted evidence of the corruption in the DOJ, FBI and U.S Intelligence Community. However, it also became more visible that Bartiromo was navigating between sensitive topics that often ran counter to the professional republican class interests in Washington DC.
Over the past few years Bartiromo softened her focus toward corrupt endeavors and began staying away from the most controversial aspects of how the structures of government operate. In a time when nearly all U.S. institutional credibility has crumbled, Bartiromo found herself in that awkward spot where you try to act like you’re not noticing the moment in the show when the marionette strings become visible.
This afternoon, Vice President JD Vance held the White House press briefing from the Brady Room. WATCH:

Speaking without a prepared script or teleprompter, here is the transcript from Secretary of State Marco Rubio speech to the Foundry School.
We either reindustrialize our national economy, moving completely away from the ‘service driven’ narrative of years past, or we will forever consign ourselves to economic servitude. This is also the American ideological perspective that undeniably affirms our baseline reason for cutting ties with Canada.
[TRANSCRIPT] – SECRETARY RUBIO: “Thank you. Thank you, all of you, first of all, for being here today. Thank you – Jacob Helberg’s doing a phenomenal job. Everybody at our department is doing a great job, and I’m very proud of the work the State Department is putting in into these and other initiatives.
One of the things we really wanted to do in our time here, and one of the reasons behind many of the reforms we undertook, is to allow us to have a State Department that could move at the speed of relevance, which is something we used to say all the time. Now it’s become almost a cliche, but it really is important – because world affairs are moving so quickly, economic developments are moving so quickly, and so much of that is internationalized, and it involves what we do around the world as well.
And so, I’m very proud of everybody at the Department of State and all the work that they’re doing to be a part of this initiative, along with our partners in the other agencies, because this truly is an interagency challenge that we’re facing.
What is the challenge that we’re here to talk about today? Let me put it to you this way: I think we made a terrible mistake in this country – not – many years ago, under people that were in charge at the time, especially at the end of the Cold War. And that was the idea that the ability to make things no longer mattered. And no matter – it didn’t matter any longer where things were made. They were to be made in the most efficient place at the lowest possible cost. That meant more profits for the company, lower costs for the consumers, and that was the way the world would work. There was this fantasy, really, that the whole world would become a free enterprise, democracies, and that everyone would look us.”
For those waiting patiently for the USMCA termination announcement, this is a potential indication and/or signal of pendency.
When President Trump and USTR Jamieson Greer send the official notification, a six-month countdown clock begins running. As of right now there are no official statements that indicate the likely triggering, it’s a guess. However, there are datapoints aligning in that direction.
No one outside our assembly has contemplated the termination of the USMCA (CUSMA) or what would occur in the aftermath; however, the Bank of Canada has gamed out the financial consequences, briefly in their forward guidance. The ramifications are significant, perhaps more significant than any other global trade announcement.
[…] “it more likely that a new shock or a combination of shocks could cause several vulnerabilities to crystalize at once. If this were to happen, these vulnerabilities could interact and reinforce each other.
A cascading series of events could cause a sharp loss of investor confidence and lead to a spike in demand for liquidity or rapid asset sales. Funding markets could come under pressure, and stress could spread more broadly.” [SOURCE]
I suggest we keep a close eye on all U.S-Mexico discussions, as well as geopolitical leverage points that might surface in the U.S-Mexico relationship. My best guess is that once the U.S. and Mexico come to renewed terms on the ‘USMCA’ as a potential bilateral free trade agreement, that will be the moment when the planets are aligned for the termination notification.
This morning the Trump administration launched the Foundry School, a national program to train the entrepreneurs, engineers, technicians, and industrial leaders needed to rebuild American manufacturing. [Press Release Here]
“President Trump’s reindustrialization agenda has already brought trillions of dollars in industrial investment to American soil. Foundry School will focus on turning that investment into jobs. American manufacturers will need an estimated 3.8 million skilled workers by 2033 in semiconductors, defense, energy, and beyond, and Foundry School exists to make sure Americans fill those jobs. The program will put American workers first by equipping them with the skills needed to bring manufacturing jobs home and build careers in industries critical to our nation’s economic security.”
This critically important initiative launched today with the full support of the administration including remarks by both Vice-President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. ‘Industrial Security Is National Security’, noted Vance. ‘We Lost Our Ability to Make Things’ Rubio warned as both explain the importance of the objective.
