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.

The longer we review the stuff coming out of the legacy U.S. Intelligence Community, the more I realize how much of a fool I was for ever trusting their nonsense.

Today, former CIA Director General David Petraeus claims that Russia has suffered over 1.4 million killed or wounded in action (KIA/WIA). {SOURCE}

Former CIA Director David Petraeus on Ukraine:

The casualties the Russians are sustaining are just, I don’t think, sustainable. Over 1,000 killed and wounded per day.

The Russians have now sustained well over 1.4 million killed and wounded, which is more than the U.S.… pic.twitter.com/ngjVyCXlN5

For those just recently entering the era of ‘great awakening’, let this type of nonsense propaganda serve as a starting point to realize what CTH has described from the outset of the Ukraine-Russia ‘conflict’ as, essentially, World War Reddit.

There are approximately 140 million Russian people living in Russia.  Of that population there are approximately 60 million males.  Of the 60 million males there are approximately 20 million men aged 18-35.  Additionally, 75% of the Russian population lives in urban centers, ie. cities.

If 1.4 million men (out of 20 million) were killed or wounded in the Ukraine conflict, the hospitals and convalescent facilities in around the cities of Kazan, Moscow and St Petersburg would be full; at least significantly beyond ordinary medical capacity.  They are not. Not even close.

I have no idea where these western ‘intelligence’ analysts and experts come up with these statistics, but they are so far beyond nonsense the light from where silly stuff originates could not reach them for years.  They could have just used the word “eleventy’. There is nowhere near that number of KIA/WIA in Russia; not even close.

It is an unfortunate reality that leaders of Ukraine military, intelligence and security services are more concerned with money, affluence, exotic cars and beachfront villas in Europe than functionally carrying out the duty. Alas, that is the nature of Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has very little control over it.

A few days ago, a shootout in the capital between rival powers of the Ukraine Intelligence Service (SBU) and Ukraine Military Intelligence (HUR) broke out bringing increased embarrassment to an already tenuous situation {citation}.  Therefore, it does not come as a surprise today when an explosive drone that hit the headquarters of SBU security chief Oleksandr Poklad is argued amid Ukraine rank and file to have originated from within.

However, Ukraine President Zelenskyy is quick to point fingers at Russia for the drone that flew in the window of SBU Chief Poklad. I mean, what else could Zelenskyy say and still retain some semblance of face-saving toward the NATO alliance he is dependent on.

Up to this point, Russia has never targeted a specific Ukraine leader for assassination; Zelenskyy’s constant visibility is seemingly confirmation of this lack of interest.  But Zelenskyy is certain that Russia tried to kill Oleksandr Poklad. Go figure.

UKRAINE – A Russian drone has hit the headquarters of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) during a strike in the heart of Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

The unmanned aerial vehicle crashed into the SBU headquarters on Friday afternoon, targeting a room used by security chief Oleksandr Poklad.  It is not clear whether Poklad was in the building, but Zelensky said he had since spoken to him to order an “appropriate, tangible response”.

“The drone was aimed directly at the office of the Head of the Security Service in that building,” Zelensky confirmed. It suggests Russia’s new drones are growing in accuracy and signals Moscow could step up strikes before possible US mediation talks this weekend.

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:

[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.

CTH continues to get considerable questioning about how the U.S-Canada fracture will take place, what it means for the Canadian dollar (CAD) and when the issues can be expected to apex.  It appears that part of the reasoned disconnect people are struggling with is directly related to the messaging from the Canadian government in combination with the financial media.

In short, despite the increased trade friction, a decoupling of the U.S. economy from the Canadian economy just seems unfathomable to most observers. The main question we receive is ‘when will things happen‘?  Meaning when will financial markets react?  The most obvious answer to that question is, when the USA announces the termination of the USMCA (CUSMA) trilateral.

If you hold the opinion that all of these trade friction points will be resolved within the margins of the USMCA, then it is correct to predict that no significant material impact will be felt north of the border.  If, however, you hold the opinion that the USMCA will be terminated because the core of the issues between the two countries are irreconcilable, then the material impact will come as soon as that announcement is made.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, the only Canadian government official to attend President Trump’s inauguration, appears on Fox Business. Like all other Canadian officials, she cannot contemplate the elimination of CUSMA/NAFTA.  Such an outcome is simply beyond her comprehension. WATCH:

In previous interviews and broadcasts, Mrs Smith claimed if Canada was to introduce an export tax the USA would respond accordingly.  This is not accurate.  The U.S. has no mechanism to place a tax on exports.

Additionally, inside Canada the structure is provincial.  That means each province taxes each other province for goods and services.  In the USA we have state sales taxes, but those taxes are applied across all goods sold to/inside an individual state.  Ex. Florida does not tax Texas.  Florida has one sales tax for all goods regardless of their origin.

This is a new report but builds on prior activity.  Former FBI Director James Comey leaked his memos about President Trump and the FBI’s fraudulent “Crossfire Hurricane” operation to his friend Daniel Richman, with the intent of Richman leaking those memos to the media. However, when the issue was discovered James Comey claimed Daniel Richman was his lawyer in an obvious attempt to shield Richman from forced testimony about the events.

SEE Richman article from 2018 – SEE Richman article from 2017 – See Richman article from 2019 

NOVEMBER 2025 – Former U.S Attorney Lindsey Halligan then took up the case and began reinvestigating in 2025. That’s why Halligan was targeted by Lawfare operatives’ intent on her removal. However, prior to her removal Mrs Halligan smartly filed a court response outlining all of the background evidence against James Comey so that prosecution could take place with/without her in place.

FOX News is now reporting that a grand jury is approving a subpoena for Daniel Richman so they can hear directly about his involvement in the activity.  The events surrounding the leaking of the ‘Comey memos’ is central to the matter of the FBI targeting President Trump after he took office in 2017.  The memos were being leaked in order to get support for a Special Counsel operation led by Andrew Weissmann.

A very interesting outline as Promethean Action’s Mike Steger notes the current lack of USA street protests is directly connected to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tracking, tracing and targeting the dark money non-profits.

From Arabella Advisors and the Sixteen Thirty Fund to the Tides Foundation, Open Society Foundations, CAIR, and the Southern Poverty Law Center, Mike explains how donations can move through interconnected charities and political organizations without revealing the original donors. These networks, he argues, allow billionaire-backed operations to influence elections, protests, political movements, and American culture while retaining their tax-exempt status.

Mike then examines the Trump administration’s response, including Treasury’s Form 990 Transparency Initiative, investigations into nonprofit financial networks, and efforts to hold tax-exempt organizations accountable for where their money goes. He also considers how Bessent’s campaign against Iran’s financial infrastructure offers a model for dismantling domestic networks accused of financing political violence.

But this system did not begin with a recent election. Mike traces its legal foundation to 1913, when the Rockefeller Foundation received a permanent charter and the Revenue Act created broad tax exemptions for charitable, religious, scientific, and educational organizations. WATCH:

The drone in question was a limited distance quadcopter that needed to be remotely operated from a visible location.  Everything about the Leipzig airport drone attack story was sketchy {BACKGROUND}.  Germany said they were investigating the failed “attack” and now reports are surfacing that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is likely to pin the blame on Russia. Because of course he is.

Together with the U.K and France, Germany is one of the key NATO partners in the so-called ‘coalition of the willing’.  German bases are currently being used by NATO allies to stage their Ukraine military support and logistics.

The German economy is in a severe state of contraction, opposition political parties are gaining momentum and Merz, like Macron, needs a distraction.

BERLIN, Aug 30 (Reuters) – German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Sunday Berlin was preparing a response to the suspected drone attack on a Ukrainian cargo plane in Leipzig this month in coordination with its European and NATO partners.

“We are in the process of concluding the investigation. There is broad consensus within the Federal Government on how we should respond, and we will make this clear in the coming days; it won’t be long now,” he said in an interview on ARD public television.

Germany has so far not said officially who it believes was behind the suspected attack attempt at Leipzig/Halle airport on August 4, when an explosives-laden drone was discovered near a Ukrainian Antonov cargo aircraft used for military supplies.

On Saturday, the daily Die Welt reported that in the next few days, the government would blame Russia for the attack and announce measures that would include sanctions coordinated with European Union partners.
