New York’s largest cocaine bust in at least a decade…with the DEA indicating that the supply chain ultimately has cartel connections.

In fact, authorities say they uncovered nearly 600 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated $10 million at a self-storage location in Long Island City, resulting in one of New York City’s most significant drug seizures in decades.

The investigation led police to Nelson Salcedo, 35, of Englewood, New Jersey, who was arrested Aug. 26 as authorities say he was preparing to transport another load from the facility. Investigators found 19 cardboard boxes in and around his van containing 230 brick-like packages.

Together, the suspected cocaine weighed approximately 586 pounds.

There was a reason why CTH focused on the Leipzig-Halle Airport “drone attack” in Germany on August 5th. {GO DEEP}  There have been numerous indications the EU-NATO members, driven by Germany, France and the U.K. have been increasingly trying to expand the Ukraine war effort and pull in direct military engagement against Russia.

The Leipzig-Halle airport drone held all of the conspicuous indications of a false flag attack that did not stem from Russia.  The quadcopter drone was a limited range battery powered small drone carrying a rudimentary IED type explosive.  It needed to be operated and controlled by someone very close to the area, and the cargo area of the airport is a closed-loop security zone.

Trump is increasingly signaling that regime change, not another deal, is his preferred outcome for the Islamic Republic.

His rhetoric has shifted. Trump says he “couldn’t care less” whether the Islamic Republic signs another agreement, arguing that its economy is collapsing and asking: “When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight?”

The blueprint now appears to be economic strangulation without giving the Islamic Republic an easy diplomatic escape, while allowing internal pressure to build and seeing whether the system breaks from within.

A deal may remain possible, but Trump is signaling that he no longer needs one if the alternative is the Islamic Republic continuing to weaken and potentially collapse.

AND RIGHT ON CUE

A car has plowed directly into a pro-IRGC gathering in Mashhad, with multiple Basij members reportedly killed and dozens injured.

The vehicle struck one of the Islamic Republic’s nightly pro-regime gatherings on Eqbal Lahori Boulevard, where government supporters and Basij members had assembled.

Videos circulating from the scene show people on the ground, scattered flags and debris, and a heavily damaged vehicle as bystanders rush around the area.

Opposition accounts are claiming at least four Basij members were killed and dozens injured, while regime-affiliated accounts acknowledge deaths and injuries but claim the driver was drunk.

The circumstances remain unclear, including whether the driver deliberately targeted the gathering. The driver has reportedly been detained.

These nightly gatherings have become a regular show of support for the Islamic Republic in Mashhad and other cities since Khamenei’s death, making tonight’s incident particularly significant.

CNN: “This is an undocumented immigrant…”

Steven Miller: “They were here ILLEGALLY”

CNN: “I want this to be a good-faith discussion…”

Miller: “When you use language designed to obscure the truth, that’s NOT good faith. An ILLEGAL ALIEN is an ILLEGAL ALIEN. They’re not ‘undocumented immigrants’.”

CNN: “Stephen, we’re trying to humanize the debate…”

Miller: “Humanize? Then let’s humanize the Penal Code too. The bank robber becomes a ‘specialist in unscheduled withdrawals’. The con artist turns into an ‘entrepreneur of alternative financial narratives’. The guy who breaks into your house uninvited is just a ‘visitor with pending documentation’. How about that?”

CNN: “That’s a crude analogy.”

Miller: “Crude is pretending federal law vanishes because CNN’s copy desk cooked up a cuddlier euphemism. ‘Undocumented’ sounds like someone who forgot their wallet in an Uber. No. It’s someone who crossed the border without authorization, stayed, and now the press treats the legal statute like it’s a matter of writing style.”

CNN: “But many contribute to the economy…”

Miller: “Ah, the classic argument: crime stops being crime if the person washes dishes or builds roofs. By the same token, the cigarette smuggler ‘contributes’ too, creates jobs in transport. Want us to call him an ‘informal logistics entrepreneur’? Would CNN go for that?”

CNN: “You’re polarizing.”

Miller: “No. I’m rejecting the marketing dictionary. You change the word, then accuse anyone who uses the legal term of being ‘inhumane’. It’s the oldest trick in the book: first soften the vocabulary, then declare moral victory. The United States is tired of this theater. Call it what it is. Or admit the goal was never clarity—it was narrative control.”

“Russia attended the G20 summit in North Carolina Monday, marking the first time that the nation has participated in the global economics meeting since it invaded Ukraine four years ago.
Russia’s finance minister, Anton Siluanov, attended alongside representatives of the Russian Central Bank at the invitation of Donald Trump. But the diplomat’s presence was not welcomed by all—European leaders spent much of the morning scorning Siluanov.”

Trump and Bessent invited the Russian Finance Minister and other high up financial officials.

WITHOUT informing our European allies that they would be attending.
That caught them completely by surprise and several were angry Russians were allowed to attend.

Allies?

They’ve been stealing and taking advantage of American taxpayers forever.
The European cabal fears a Trump, Putin and Xi alliance and that’s exactly what’s happening behind the scenes.

And now Trump isn’t hiding it.
He’s treating Russia like every other sovereign country.

Trump wants peace.
The European Union leaders definitely do not.
They want to keep the war in Ukraine going as long as possible.

The topic of having an Indian Summer came up. Hilarious when one joked that we will be forced to call in First Nations Summer.
You had to be there. We discussed the 3 Federal By-elections that the Liberals won yesterday. They mentioned that it is time to go as the average Canadian has bought into the Carney BS. Apparently, a few of his friends have small manufacturing operations in BC and may loose half or more of their mkt if the trade spat continues. They are exploring a move to the US. A Red state move.
There is a catch. Their RRSP’s are not recognized in the US as tax sheltered and without clever planning they will take a hit.
Also a bad time to sell a home but I mentioned that if the mkt is down all over it could be a wash if they buy a nicer place.

So, it is true that Canada is at risk of loosing small businesses that can not exist in Canada. They will only be able to take “key” people and lay off the rest. I can only imagine what will happen in the Heartland of Ontario.

What a shit show.

Polymarket shows AfD winning the Saxony-Anhalt election. 

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz spent Sunday fearmongering on public broadcaster ARD, warning that a potential victory for Alternative for Germany in next Sunday’s Saxony-Anhalt election could inflict economic damage on the region.

Merz’s fearmongering comes as his approval ratings are the lowest recorded for any postwar German chancellor. Economic troubles have rocked Europe’s largest economy, while voters have grown increasingly frustrated with Berlin.

Amid two days of talks among G20 finance ministers and central bank heads gathered in Asheville, North Carolina, an unexpected and deeply awkward issue (for some) has emerged. The whole session is being overshadowed by the fact that the White House welcomed Russia to the meeting, which has set off anger and frustration among the Europeans. Also, some key media outlets and prominent reporters have been banned from the summit.

Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov made an unexpected appearance after his official US invite, and then was welcomed by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for a bilateral meeting. This marks Russia’s first in-person invite to the G20 since the start of the Ukraine war in February 2022 – and it is happening while the US holds the rotating G20 presidency and is playing host.

• In a statement, Russia’s Finance Ministry said the talks covered financial issues between the two nations and G20 engagement.
• Bessent ruled out economic relief for Moscow as long as the war in Ukraine continues, according to a source familiar with the meeting. When Siluanov raised potential areas for cooperation, Bessent interrupted the official and made clear there’d be no progress until the war ends, the source added.
