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 †

Apparently, there was an organized boatlift of north African migrants crossing from France into the U.K earlier today. Various non-governmental organizations were in place with tents and supplies to assist the migrants upon arrival.
By most accounts the influx appears to have been facilitated by NGO’s working with British authorities. However, at various ports where the migrants arrived, they were met with hundreds of young British men who attempted to blockade the activity of the police and nefarious human traffickers.
Telegraph – Hundreds of protesters have clashed with police in Portsmouth after a mega-dinghy carrying 140 migrants reached the UK from Normandy.
Around 500 demonstrators are believed to have joined a protest in the area on Sunday night, with some dressed in all black – similar to those who joined an anti-illegal migrant protest which blocked the Port of Dover on Saturday.
The large boat of migrants – believed to be the longest-ever Channel crossing by people-smugglers – was intercepted in the Solent between the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth earlier on Sunday.
Police used riot shields and pepper spray to force the crowds back, but the line broke through the weight of numbers. Protesters then made their way inside the marina compound.
You might remember former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall (under Biden) who was stripped of his classified security clearance following an investigation which revealed him as the source of leaks surrounding Air Force One and President Trump’s security detail {GO DEEP}.
Today, ABC This Week with Martha Raddatz called upon Kendall to frame their latest attack against President Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth. Mr Kendall expressed his disappointment that “senior military official and leaders” are taking orders from the Commander in Chief, President Trump, without upholding an expectation to defy the constitutional civilian leadership structure.
On one hand the disgraced former officer admits it is not the role of the military to consider politics; however, on the other hand he claims they have a responsibility to listen only when Democrat politicians are in power. Failing to adhere to this standard weakens the ability of the military to conduct unilateral operations outside the structures of American government. This, Kendall claims, is a serious problem.
Kendall points the finger at Secretary Pete Hegseth who has removed or downgraded military officers who believe they have more power than the elected President of the United States. Essentially, Frank Kendall advocates for the Mark Milley approach to the military system, where uniformed flag officers control policy irrespective of who is in the White House. Kendall believes if the Generals were in charge, the Iran conflict would never happen.
Eisenhower warned against people like Frank Kendall. WATCH:
The Sunday pearl clutching begins with CBS’s Margaret Brennan directing her adversarial prose toward U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
Secretary Wright is such a pro in this interview. “It’s the western hemisphere, Margaret” 😂🤣😂 Priceless!
[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: We begin today with the U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, who joins us from Denver. Mr. Secretary, it is Labor Day, and Secretary Bessent had predicted we’d see three-dollar gas by September 20th, depending on the Iran talks. Do you think we’re going to be back at three bucks in the next two weeks?
SECRETARY OF ENERGY CHRIS WRIGHT: Well, we’ve passed peak demand time with Labor Day tomorrow, the end of the summer driving season, and the Trump administration a couple weeks ago rolled out a change in regulations that’ll allow American refiners to produce more gasoline and diesel with their existing equipment. So, seeing demand likely go down in the next few weeks and supply going up, I think prices headed downward is- is not an unreasonable expectation.
MARGARET BRENNAN: What about the diesel fuel that trucks and trains rely so heavily on? We saw that record high price of $5.89 a gallon this week. Is for example, an export ban off the table?
SEC. WRIGHT: You want to keep as much energy flowing as possible. The diesel situation has been challenging because Russian refineries have suffered significant damage. Russia used to be a meaningful exporter of diesel. Today, today they don’t export any diesel, and in fact, they’ve become a meaningful importer of gasoline. So its global refining capacity is why gasoline and diesel prices are high, even more than oil prices. And this is- for 17 years, Democrat policies have been attack hydrocarbons, get as many refineries and coal plants closed. You could summarize their energy and climate policies in two words, expensive energy.
First, there are many voices criticizing President Trump for the use of emissaries and negotiators during geopolitical events. CTH is not one of those voices; exactly the opposite is true. In 2024 we shared the importance of using emissaries to conduct important and strategic policy/negotiations; a direct conduit between the President and principals that matter, outside the controls of the U.S. Intelligence Community which has historically manipulated everything – including the President.
Do not forget the CIA willfully, and with specific intent, lied to Kusher/Witkoff while they were in Doha negotiating with Turkey, Egypt and Qatari leaders during critical moments in getting the Gaza situation under control {Go Deep}. Additionally, Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Marco Rubio is currently working on securing the western hemisphere and North American fortress; vis-a-vis a Latin-America focus.
Emissaries Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Kiev, Ukraine, to further the peace initiative. Western media then avoid noticing that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he does not have the power to make decisions. Instead, Zelenskyy says another round of talks will be required “together with the USA and the E3 countries: the United Kingdom, France, and Germany” to back him up.
Ultimately Zelenskyy is not a decisionmaker, nor has does he carry any power as an elected President. Zelenskyy has rejected all efforts to hold an election, even when demanded by his since replaced Defense Minister Fedorov. The world can see that Zelenskyy is a puppet to London and the EU-NATO group, the so-called “coalition of the willing” who manage him, which, we should remind ourselves, recently added Canada to the team.
As a consequence, both Witkoff and Kushner are attempting to negotiate with a President who does not have any decision-making power. This is unfortunate, but it is the reality of the situation and reasonably why this continues to be World War Reddit. Everything is framed around public perceptions, geopolitical interests of Europe, the needs and demands from the banking system and other elements of control.
Before getting into the details it is worth noting, the indications of this historic victory were visible recently when the German people, not the politicians, the people, completely rejected the government claim that Russia was behind the drone issue at the Leipzig airport. The propaganda effort backfired spectacularly. The best campaigner for the opposition was Chancellor Friedrich Merz himself.
The Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party has won a historic election, stamping a desire for commonsense back into the German political system. The AfD platform nationally is very simple: Normalization of German-Russian relations, a halt to all immigration, the recommissioning of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines and an exit from the European Union. In short, a return to sovereignty and economic commonsense.
Germany’s Alternative for Germany scored a victory in today’s Saxony-Anhalt election, with exit polls showing the party winning 44.5 percent of the vote and finishing well ahead of its rivals. Yes, the result marks the strongest performance by a conservative nationalist party in a German state since World War II.
BERLIN, Sept 6 (Reuters) – The Alternative for Germany (AfD) surged into first place in state elections in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday, exit polls showed, putting a far-right party on the cusp of power at state level for the first time since World War Two.
The AfD won 44.5% of the vote, with Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s conservatives trailing well behind on 18.5%, and the centre-left Social Democrats and environmental Greens both clearing the minimum threshold to enter parliament, according to an exit poll from the ARD broadcaster.
History has a tendency to rhyme.
There is one move on the geopolitical chessboard that can put all of the U.S. and President Trump’s problems into an immediate checkmate. However, the forces against the alignment are significant. If President Trump can end the Ukraine-Russia conflict and end the sanctions regime against Russia, everything changes.
Bringing Russian oil, gas and natural resources back into the global economy not only removes all leverage held by Iran, but it also wipes out intransigent resistance against the geopolitical reset and upends over a hundred years of EU and Commonwealth financial manipulation.
Not only does the Iran problem immediately shift, but so too does any/all leverage carried by Canada on behalf of London and the broader commonwealth structure. With a U.S-Russia strategic economic alliance, something factually stated at the end of every message from Moscow, the dynamics of global structures is entirely different. However, all the oppositional interests are well aware of the consequence and their actions reflect it.
The United States and Russia ended World War II. A U.S-Russia alliance would change everything.
Who would benefit from such a strategic partnership? The USA, Russia, India, China, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States (GCC), ASEAN countries and even Japan and the Caribbean, including Cuba.
Who would oppose such a seismic shift? The U.K, specifically the financial constructs within the City of London, Canada, the EU-NATO states, all the Commonwealth countries and the Five-Eyes group (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the U.K and the U.S. Intelligence Community).
Now we have appropriate context for the dynamic of the issue, along with context for exactly why all oppositional elements are conducting current activity. A strategic partnership between the U.S. and Russia represents an existential threat to all the old systems – everything.
The first step would be solving the Ukraine-Russia conflict. So, let’s look at that problem specifically and how a transactional approach might frame the four corners of an end to it.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sits down with Fox News’ Lara Trump to discuss current events around complicated geopolitical issues.
Noted by Bessent is the growth of the U.S. economy, the growth of blue-collar wages, controlling inflation and overall MAGAnomic gains. Secretary Bessent also emphasizes the U.S strategic relationship with China and the collaborative efforts of President Trump and Chairman Xi on creating stabilization in the overall global economy. The Iran conflict and the removal of Iran oil is under control. WATCH:
