Trump’s Fed Panic, Epstein Deflections, and Drone Chaos.
The deep state isn’t hiding anymore—they’re just daring you to notice.
Good Morning
They tried to bury the week’s biggest stories under noise, but we’re digging them up. While Trump plays clean-up after rattling Wall Street and shrugging off Epstein transparency, Russia’s drones pound Ukraine—and no one seems to want peace. Meanwhile, a so-called “lone wolf” shooter in Minnesota mailed letters to the FBI, and the DOJ continues its favorite pastime: burying Epstein’s secrets. Welcome to Friday. The system’s burning daylight, hoping you’re still asleep. You’re not. Let’s go.

Zelensky’s Hometown Bombed, But the Real Panic Is Over Peace
They’re not panicking about the drones. They’re panicking that peace might actually break out.
Hundreds of Russian drones swarmed across Ukraine overnight in one of the largest bombardments in months—Ukrainian officials say Zelensky’s own hometown was targeted in a “massive” strike. But while the headlines scream about destruction, what’s left unsaid is more revealing: every fresh attack resets the countdown on peace and triggers another round of weapons shipments.
Because here’s how the chaos economy works: peace talks go quiet when defense contracts get loud. Every drone strike means more aid packages, more Pentagon deals, and more checks written to the same war contractors getting rich off prolonged conflict. Zelensky gets airtime, the defense lobby gets paid, and Congress gets to act outraged while approving billions more.
This war isn’t being fought to end. It’s being managed to last.
Shooter Says the Governor Made Him Do It—And the FBI Got a Letter First
A “confused” shooter writes a detailed letter to the FBI director, naming a sitting governor as the mastermind? Sure. Totally normal.
According to newly released reports, Vance Boelter—the man accused of murdering two police officers and a firefighter in Minnesota—wrote to FBI Director Christopher Wray before the attack. In the letter, he claimed Governor Tim Walz ordered him to kill both of Minnesota’s U.S. Senators because “Tim wants to be senator.” Let that sink in. A supposedly unstable man penned a coherent assassination conspiracy, addressed it to the FBI, and then followed through with a mass killing?
This isn’t random—it’s patterned. We’ve seen it before: unstable individuals who somehow mirror the behavior of intelligence assets, always surfacing when it’s politically convenient. From JFK to the Michigan “kidnapping” plot, mentally unstable pawns are often used to stir chaos right when power brokers need cover.
The real red flag? The timing. Walz’s political star is rising, and now someone claiming to act on his behalf triggers a wave of media attention and law enforcement focus. Classic misdirection.
Trump Calls Epstein Probe a “Hoax” as His Own Party Demands Answers
Trump built a movement on “draining the swamp”—but now he’s defending the deepest part of it.
This week, a bipartisan group of lawmakers called for more transparency in the Epstein investigation, with Republicans joining Democrats in demanding the Department of Justice unseal files, name names, and explain years of inaction. But instead of backing that push, Trump took to Truth Social and called the entire thing a “hoax.” Yes, really. While his base demands answers, Trump lashed out at them too.
If Epstein was just a lone pedophile, why is transparency so dangerous? Why would Trump—who used to rail against elite corruption—now defend the silence? The answer writes itself: the Epstein list doesn’t just implicate Democrats. It threatens the entire system. And when even Trump won’t touch it, you know damn well how deep it goes.
Markets Tank on Fed Firing Rumors—Then Trump Bows Out
Trump didn’t fire Jerome Powell. He just thought about it—and Wall Street lost its mind.
The S&P 500 dropped after rumors spread that Trump might remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell if re-elected. Within hours, Trump walked it back. Not because he changed his mind, but because the market—and by extension, the real power structure—delivered its warning. This wasn’t about economic policy. It was about showing who actually runs the show.
Presidents come and go. But the Fed stays. It doesn’t need your vote—it controls your future anyway. When the financial system flinches harder at a central banker’s job security than a presidential election, it’s not a democracy—it’s a debt cartel with a PR department.

Trump Makes It Personal with MAGA Over Epstein
Trump’s public dismissal of the Epstein investigation as a “hoax” isn’t just a deflection—it’s a divide-and-conquer tactic playing out in real time. By ridiculing those in his own base who are demanding transparency, he’s deepening internal fractures the deep state loves to exploit. This isn’t about truth or loyalty—it’s about psychological warfare designed to confuse, demoralize, and turn MAGA against itself. And it’s working. Read more
AFGHAN RELOCATION COVER-UP
Thousands of Afghans were quietly moved to Britain after a government data leak exposed their identities. What started as bureaucratic failure ended with a secret taxpayer-funded relocation program—and zero accountability.
REAL DEPORTATION: AFRICA EDITION
The U.S. quietly deported five migrants to Eswatini as part of a broader crackdown expanding to African nations. No headlines, no drama—just proof that border enforcement works when someone actually enforces it.
HIV/AIDS FUNDING ESCAPES THE AXE
Congress protected HIV/AIDS programs from the $9 billion in spending cuts—because some interest groups are just untouchable. When they say “everything’s on the table,” they don’t mean the donor-backed stuff.
NYPD CALLED A ‘CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE’
A former commissioner just said it out loud: the NYPD operates like an organized crime ring. The same rot you see in D.C. is thriving in local law enforcement—and nobody’s cleaning house.
VISA FRAUD BY COPS IN LOUISIANA
Police chiefs and a town marshal were busted for running a fake visa scheme using fabricated police reports. These are the guys who were supposed to be upholding the law—now they’re cashing in on loopholes they helped build.

“The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.”
— St. Augustine
Thanks for riding through the madness with us. Whether it’s financial overlords spooking the markets, drone wars nobody wants to end, or Epstein’s ghost haunting every corner of power—one thing’s clear: the system protects itself at all costs. We’re not backing down, and neither should you.
