Debt Rattle October 30 2026

Today:
Sooo…looks like both are true: Congress slightly Red, and Deficit is down. Both Tariffs and business growth work, actually. Like every other time they’ve been tried!

Canada, Europe, and China, tariff the s—t out of us, so I guess that’s okay then. Tariffs R bad, that’s why they all do it.

This also means definite tax relief, $5k/person. That easily offsets all gas prices although I prefer not to do it this way. Same with the “Profits” we get from high oil prices. Okay, fine, and true. Now Share. Or else lose again.

“Russia has won the war. The Western gambit to use Ukraine as a battering ram to defeat Russia has failed. Trump’s belated shuttle diplomacy is just window dressing

Yes, and thank God. And yes, every nightclub comedian knew this 5 years ago about a week after the start. But this isn’t “Belated shuttle diplomacy”. That’s all spin and meta-assumptions. There HAS to be a peace treaty. SOMEBODY has to do it. And this guy like all the others makes that sound, bad, stupid, and wrong. Why? There’s a peace treaty and Carney sure doesn’t want peace, so he’s not the one shuttling. Apparently no other country has to do f—k all so no OTHER country has offered. That leaves it to us again. So shut yer face, do you want a treaty or not? Why don’t YOU offer to do something for a change instead of complaining about others?

Oh no! Somebody’s doing Work, they must be stopped. You’re moving that mop wrong, a little more to the left…

“What really caused the war in Ukraine? It was NOT “Putin” or “Russia”. It was NATO, & here is the evidence:

You don’t think Larry Johnson’s CIA might have been in there, do you? Every day for 30 years with billions of dollars and scores of extra-judicial assassinations?

“Additionally, over the past 10 years as western interests have stopped building oil refining capacity,”

This is Trump’s fault. He was in control of Canadian refineries and oil pipelines. And he was also their immigration secretary.

“ 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?”

Yes, Obama ran that Famine, don’t you remember? Real, actual famine. It was a food shortage, on demand. On purpose. So Obama could set up black slave markets and bring that wonderful institution back to Africa’s richest country. “But what difference does it make at this point???”

Meanwhile the present U.S. is BUILDING oil, pipelines, refineries, and opening up the availability of food at a feverish pace over the full and stony resistance of Congress.

“Competition is a Sin” – Rockefeller, Standard Oil.

So we need to create an ARTIFICIAL shortage, to regulate prices and profits. By bombing refineries now that the official flow is 85% of Pre-war in the Gulf.

John Healey says that the UK has pledged an additional £10 billion in economic and military support for Ukraine,”

Another $200 for war. Better put those bananas back.

“The same Obama-appointed judge that President Donald Trump once branded a “Radical Left Lunatic” and demanded be impeached

As Republicans, above. They can remove Boasberg in an hour. They don’t, because they WANT him there. Stopping all “Republican” motion. So they are Democrats, no? Or Globalists, surely. They have seen his results and are HAPPY. Newspapers pretend not to know this. All one amazing mystery.

“YIKES: Ilhan Omar was just asked if she married her brother on Live TV Her answer: “Not to my knowledge…”

1) You have the same parents: This probably should have tipped you off.

Boasberg says “Incest is the Best! Keep it in the family.” Why do you hate rape and incest so much? Are you an intolerant hater? Why are you obsessed with what other people are doing?

“Today the New York Times breaks two that are seemingly not in its lefty interest:

It is indeed a headline any day the NYTimes reports the real news. It makes me very suspicious. Have they also surrendered in some way?

“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.

Carney declared war and it’s working like a charm. “Mortgage affordability has been falling every month” he said, and Parliament applauded heartily. (No I am not kidding. The Left + The Maths) The Elbozos at work.

Well, he’s an American from Haaah-vard, where all 3rd world extracting dictator kids go, so definitely pick him. DEFINITELY do not want a leader from McGill or Waterloo who has his investments in TSE and Canada. That would be just SILLY. Why have a leader whose family lives in Canada, ever? We need a central banker from another country installed, the way Ukraine does it.

Then you can go to war with the country where your entire Canadian currency and financial system is backed with US Treasury bonds. And no gold. #Smart! When all America tells you not to do that, you tell them to shut up, you don’t understand what a credentialed economist and smart Central Banker Carney is.

Speaking of that, the Canada Central bank raises rates sharply going into an oil shock. …Against all known Central Banks, Keynes, and Ben Bernanke back when. That is to say, what he’s doing is an outlier position, because it’s certain to cause a severe recession or depression. Thanks Tiff! I guess he works for Trump too.

WHY? WHY????? Is my question. And WHY are they so proud of it and resistant to discussion. Not with me, an American, but among themselves, as a nation? Don’t do this. It’s certain death. We are not making you do this. We are begging you not to. Since like 2000.

“Flavio Bolsonaro is not considered a “fugitive” from justice because he has not been charged with any crimes”

Yes because he will be charged with these crimes the minute he returns. They’ll meet him at the airport like they did Galloway and Tommy Robinson.

“• Is the Israeli-Trump War on Iran Producing Muslim Unity? (Paul Craig Roberts)

F—k no. Are you high? Yeah, so Saudi, Turkey, Indonesia, UAE are all equally Pro-Iran now. And are sending troops to help. Jesus, they’d be happy if they just had FRANCE in unity, and sent a million Muslims from Marsailles. They ALSO carry palestinian flags as a wrap to defend looting WHILE DOING NOTHING, as Muslims do. 1/10th of these guys could liberate Palestine if they picked up a black-market .38. Nope! That would be work! I demand the White Man do it! While I nag and watch!

“ a product of Saudi Arabia’s poor performance in its military conflict with Yemen. As is usual, Arabs waste their resources fighting one another instead of their enemies.”

Both completely true and entirely inexplicable. Both have always been this way. SMH

“While Washington and London were pushing against a couple dozen German divisions at best, the Red Army was grinding through 150 to 200.

The U.S. was barely in the war. And was Europe? They were all occupied and England did little except be Airstrip One, as Orwell said. Yes, I did not know this until “Enemy At the Gates” brought it up in my attention, so I mention it regularly. (This is not true of the Pacific, although those numbers need context as well) That means it was a Russian-German war, where we had the impact of Norway.

Flávio Bolsonaro’s Great Escape, Brought to You by the Usual Suspects
By Larry C. Johnson on 29 October 2026

There is a certain kind of travel itinerary you learn to recognize after a career in the intelligence business. A politician under criminal investigation, ordered by his country’s Supreme Court to surrender his passport, slips across a border at night. Within forty minutes he is aboard a private jet with a colorful ownership history. The jet avoids his home country’s airspace, refuels in a third country and lands at an airfield in Miami with a long and storied past. By the time anyone in Brasília has finished drafting a press release, he is in Florida, holding a fresh immigration status and promising to lead his nation from exile.

That is what happened this week to Flávio Bolsonaro, the Brazilian senator and presidential candidate who lost Sunday’s runoff to Lula. And if you think that is just a family vacation that got out of hand, I have a Gulfstream I’d like to sell you. It has had six registrations.

What the New York Times says
Let’s start with what is on the record. On Thursday the New York Times reported, citing U.S. officials and a person familiar with the logistics, that President Trump and his aides helped Flávio leave Brazil and enter the United States. The private jet was reportedly arranged by Jason Miller, the Trump political operative now serving as a special government employee in the White House. Miller declined to comment. Flávio’s brother Eduardo, who already lives in Texas courtesy of a fast-tracked green card, had been in touch with him. Brazil’s Folha de S.Paulo adds that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was involved.

Flávio, his wife and two daughters crossed into Argentina by land on Tuesday night. Justice Alexandre de Moraes had ordered him to hand over his passports in a money-laundering investigation; Brazil had cancelled his travel documents and barred him from leaving. That turned out to be more of a suggestion. The family boarded a Gulfstream G400, registration LV-JQW, operated by the Argentine charter firm Baires Fly, refueled in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and landed at Miami’s Opa-locka airport on Wednesday morning. U.S. border officers admitted them on “parole,” a status normally reserved for urgent humanitarian cases or significant public benefit. Flávio reportedly presented an expired diplomatic passport. A green card is said to be on the fast track. Trump’s explanation: “We gave him a pass to come into the country, so we’ll see.”

The Times story says the White House did it. Fine. But the White House communications shop does not, as a rule, run exfiltrations across three countries in 48 hours. Somebody else knows how to do that.

What my experience tells me
I want to be clear about what follows. The Times does not report a CIA role, and no one has produced a document proving one. What I can tell you is what this operation looks like to someone who spent years watching how the agency does business. And it looks very familiar.

Start with the speed. Flávio lost the runoff on October 25. The passport order came down. By Monday the plan was in motion, and by Wednesday morning he was in Miami. Moving a family across an international border at night, coordinating a foreign charter, arranging a refueling stop in a third country, routing the aircraft around Brazilian airspace and having U.S. immigration officers ready with a parole decision on arrival is not something you improvise between campaign tweets. It requires people who already know each other, already trust each other and already have the phone numbers. In my experience, a link-up that fast between the agency and a foreign political figure strongly suggests a relationship that predates the emergency. You do not make a new friend on Monday and fly him to Miami on Wednesday.

Then look at the ground in Argentina. According to Página/12 and other Argentine outlets, the family crossed the border in a van escorted by an Argentine police vehicle, and officers of Argentina’s Airport Security Police were seen leaving afterward. Agents of SIDE, Argentina’s intelligence secretariat, were reportedly spotted at the Iguazú airport on Monday, which is what tipped airport staff that something was up. Milei’s government first denied Flávio had entered the country, then confirmed it only after Trump said publicly that he’d heard Flávio was in Argentina. Liaison services do not usually turn up at a provincial airport in the middle of the night for a commercial charter.

The airplane
Now, the airplane. I spent some time this week tracing the history of LV-JQW, and it reads like a case study in how an aircraft acquires a useful past.

It is Gulfstream serial number 1524, built in 2004. It has carried six registrations. It began life as N524GA at the factory, then spent a decade as N522AC under a leasing company and later an LLC called Alanza Acquisitions. In 2014 it was briefly registered as N522AG and then placed with a trustee, Aerownership North American Services, the kind of arrangement used to hold an aircraft for an owner who would prefer not to appear on the paperwork. It then went to Mexico as XA-CHG. In 2020 it came back to Gulfstream in Savannah as N152GA, and six months later it was exported to Argentina and became LV-JQW, owned by Baires Fly.

Baires Fly, for its part, flies Argentina’s elite. Its reported clients include President Milei and former presidents Macri and Fernández. Last December, according to Clarín, the head of Argentina’s football association used this very jet to fly to the World Cup draw in Washington. And in Argentina’s ANDIS corruption case, a federal prosecutor has named Baires Fly as one of the hubs for laundering money skimmed from the national disability agency. The company has not been charged, and the businessman linked to it denies wrongdoing. In the past year the aircraft logged about 290 flight legs, with Fort Lauderdale its most frequent foreign destination, 91 legs, and 43 legs touching Brazil.

Let me put on my old hat. An aircraft that has passed through a chain of LLCs and a trustee, that has flown under the flags of three countries, that belongs to a charter operator trusted by presidents across the political spectrum, that shuttles constantly between South America and South Florida and that has a well-established route around Brazilian airspace: that is exactly the profile of an aircraft the agency would want to use or have access to. The beauty of it is that nothing about it is unusual for a rich man’s jet. Every business aircraft has an LLC. That is what makes it such good cover. The most useful covered aircraft never look covered. They look like a charter.

I am not claiming that I can prove LV-JQW is a CIA asset, or that Baires Fly knew anything beyond the booking. I am saying that if you set out to design a deniable aircraft for a discreet exfiltration from the Southern Cone, you would come up with something that looks a lot like this one.

Welcome home to Opa-locka
And then there is where it landed. Of all the airports in South Florida, Flávio’s jet chose Opa-locka. For readers too young to remember, the old naval air station at Opa-locka was where the CIA ran logistics for the 1954 coup in Guatemala. It is where Cuban exiles were selected for the Bay of Pigs. It hosted operations against Castro during Operation Mongoose, and it surfaced in the Kerry Committee’s investigation of the Contra supply network in the 1980s. Today it is a county executive airport, and the agency’s old buildings are long gone. Maybe it was just the most convenient runway. But in this business, you learn not to believe in too many coincidences.

The real question
None of this should surprise anyone. The Bolsonaros have spent years courting the American right. Eduardo has lived in Texas since 2025 and lobbied Washington for sanctions on Brazil’s Supreme Court justices. The Trump administration has made no secret of its hostility to Lula and its eagerness to build a “Shield of the Americas” of friendly governments. Trump called Sunday’s election “another rigged election” without offering a shred of evidence. Lula called Flávio’s flight a “shameful act.”

The question Congress should be asking is simple. When the White House decided to help a foreign politician evade his own country’s courts, who did the work? Jason Miller is a communications man. The State Department can issue a waiver. But somebody coordinated a night border crossing, a foreign charter, a refueling stop in Ecuador and a parole on arrival, all in about two days, without a single public misstep. That is not a political operation. That is tradecraft.

If the CIA was involved, the American people deserve to know, because it means the agency is once again in the business of picking winners and losers in Latin American politics, the business that gave us Guatemala, Chile and the Bay of Pigs. If it wasn’t, then the White House has apparently developed its own private exfiltration service, which is worse. Either way, Flávio Bolsonaro is sitting comfortably in Florida, declaring himself the leader of Brazil, and the man who beat him at the ballot box is being told by the President of the United States that the election was rigged.

Welcome to the Monroe Doctrine, 2026 edition. Same airport. Better jet.

What didn’t you know and when did you not know it?
