European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde has announced her resignation from the ECB effective February 7, 2027. [X-Platform] Her departure is nine months earlier than the natural conclusion of her term.

Lagarde is a French national, and stated her decision was about leaving the ECB as President so that she could engage in political speech, which is an interesting justification considering the current state of Germany and France and the very consequential elections upcoming.

However, as a consequence of prior research, from my position I would note that she’s exiting the position of ECB President based on something else entirely.  She intends to fail-up, very lucratively, and if our research is accurate, she will likely be the next Chair of the World Economic Forum.

As readers are well aware, Europe is on the cusp of an irreversible economic downward spiral.  Low growth, high inflation, and the entire continent is crippled by short-sighted energy policy and subsequent deindustrialization that is creating significant debt burdens.  In short, the EU is contracting.

The #1 issue that makes the downward spiral irreversible is their entrenched advocacy for the net zero ‘climate change’ agenda, which is now triggering carbon taxes and various carbon border adjustment mechanisms on trade.  Their energy policy is killing their industrial capacity, and the overall European Union is in a self-fulfilling crisis.

On top of the economic mess is the ever-worsening mass migration problem that will eventually topple several key European capitals.

Lagarde, looking every bit the part of a Bond villain, is bailing out of the central bank at the moment right before things begin escalating horribly.  I am almost certain she will take up the position as Chair of the WEF in an effort to inoculate herself from the political chaos that is about to surface.  The rise of the nationalists in the upcoming elections is a symptom of the problem Brussels has created.

Against the backdrop of Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy “directing the Alaska Department of Public Safety to investigate whether this scheme violated Alaska’s laws and whether criminal charges or civil action are warranted,” President Trump noted the gross manipulative fraud during remarks earlier today.

It certainly appears a criminal conspiracy against rights is brutally obvious.

Governor Dunleavy Statement: “Today’s New York Times reporting reveals disturbing new evidence of an organized effort to manipulate Alaska’s elections by recruiting candidates—including one with the same name as an incumbent U.S. Senator—to deliberately confuse voters and misdirect their votes.

The Alaska Division of Elections investigated these very concerns in June of this year. The new reporting substantially supports the Division’s findings.

I am therefore directing the Department of Public Safety to investigate whether this scheme violated Alaska’s laws and whether criminal charges or civil action are warranted. The evidence will determine what happens next.

Alaskans have a fundamental right to vote for the candidate they actually intend to support. Deliberately tricking voters into casting their ballots for someone else strikes at the integrity of our elections. Anyone or any organization found to have broken the law must be held accountable.”

Strong MAGAnomic outcomes announced today as the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) releases the third-quarter GDP number, and it comes in strong at 3.4% growth. [Announcement Here] – [Data Table 1 Here]

I have modified Data Table 1.1.1 in the graphic below to highlight the key metrics.  As readers are well aware, imports are a deduction to GDP data.  Our national GDP is the sum value of all goods and services generated within the economy, minus imports.

[Table 1 data source]

Exports decreased 5.7%.  However, within the data you will note a third quarter massive surge in imports of 26.4% (goods), which led to a deduction impact of 3.32% in the overall GDP statistic [Table 1.5.2] As noted in the BEA review, “the largest contributor to imports was capital goods, except automotive.”

A 26% increase in capital goods is massive. I would anticipate that in addition to large industrial equipment, what we are witnessing in that import number is the AI-Data Center factor, this is the massive ‘compute’ need. The likely highest import value is on the data chips.

Think about it.  If there was no increase in imported goods and services to deduct from the growth rate, the U.S. economic growth rate would have been +6.7%.  Keep in mind the USA is already the largest economy in the world at $32.5 trillion.  So, a growth rate of 3.4% is a massive whole dollar increase in the U.S. economy.  The pie is much larger!

Promethean Action PAC’s Susan Kokinda gives her update and perspective on the Canada-U.K effort to interfere in the U.S. midterm election.

Susan Kokinda opens with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney celebrating Brazil’s election, von der Leyen’s partnership “thriving” and Carney’s “flourishing”, set against Volkswagen’s plan to cut 100,000 jobs, Canada’s lost manufacturing jobs, and Audi’s first U.S. plant, announced with President Trump in Perry, Georgia, with Rep. Rich McCormick on what it means for Georgia and a look at GDP growth in the United States, the euro area and Canada.

The episode then turns to the U.S. Embassy in Canada’s October 21 fact sheet on Canadian activities in U.S. politics: Carney’s and Minister Mélanie Joly’s denials, Joly on meeting “so many governors and potential presidential candidates”, tariffs aimed at “political pressure”, and the anti-tariff billboards. It sets that beside Chatham House’s August 27 paper for Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s government, which urges London to court members of Congress, state legislatures, potential presidential candidates and industry leaders, and looks at the British pedigree of Canada’s trade team and Chatham House director Bronwen Maddox on the members of Congress who came through Chatham House. It closes with the voters: the Parti Québécois win in Quebec and the Conservative majority in British Columbia that President Trump congratulated, the AfD’s wins in two German states, and the President’s “France: Now and Then”.

The New York Times is reporting on a months-long investigation into the Alaska senate race [Gift Article Here].

Stunningly, the NYT is providing direct evidence that Democrat Senate Candidate Mary Peltola, in coordination with the DSCC and Marc Elias law firm, constructed the fraudulent Dan Sullivan candidate (pictured left) specifically to create confusion and help install a democrat in office.

“Text messages viewed by The Times show officials with the D.S.C.C. and the Peltola campaign communicating for months about the project.”

Obviously, the NYT no longer believes Peltola would win the race – and that’s the reason for their sunlight on the entire operation to manufacture the fraudulent candidate.

NEW YORK TIMES – In the summer of 2025, a staffer for Mary Peltola, the Alaska Democrat who was eyeing a run for Senate, received unusual instructions from top campaign aides: Find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as you can.

The staffer complied, combing through voter records to produce a list of Dan Sullivans from across the state.

This was no random request. Dan S. Sullivan is the name of the state’s Republican senator. And if the Peltola campaign or its allies could track down and persuade another Dan Sullivan to run for Senate, the confusion could cost the senator crucial votes on the state’s unusual, four-person ballot.

The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan.

For two weeks I have essentially locked myself away while trying to disprove a thesis I developed over the past few years. Perhaps you might be interested.

Context Links: New York Times Today HERE – CTH Two Weeks Ago HERE

Take out a pencil, draw a line down the center of the page and on the left hand-column write out every individual, nation, organization, institution and political movement that is aligned with, and advanced the global warming/climate change agenda.

Then, on the right-hand column, write out every individual, nation, organization, institution and political movement that is aligned with, advances the interests of, and support for Ukraine.

Notice something in the commonality?

They are a perfect match.

25+ years of Global Warming, Climate Change, Net Zero, Carbon Trading, Carbon Taxing, Build Back Better etc. advocacy, revolves around the singularity of one issue, energy production.

From that baseline the western nemesis of a multi-trillion investment and banking system, built around the destruction of the coal, oil and gas carbon-based energy sector is Russia.

Additionally, over the past 10 years as western interests have stopped building oil refining capacity, Russia has expanded oil refining capacity.

All ‘modern’ opposition to Russia in the last 25 years, is now culminating…. But the root is something everyone misses. The root commonality of interests is Energy Production.

The advocates for the system of dependencies created by the “climate change/net zero” energy processes are the same advocates supporting Ukraine and specifically supporting the targeting of Russian energy production vis-a-vis Russian oil refineries.

All of the advocates for Ukraine are also heavily invested advocates for the climate change agenda. A western system that has created multi-trillions of prior investments that need returns.

Russia’s interests are against that system.

Someone recently paused, thought about it and remarked back to me, “well, that is an interesting commonality of interests; however, if that were indeed the case, then why wouldn’t that same network confront the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) with the same ferocity of opposition?”

I replied, “wait, did you forget the Arab Spring?”
