NORTHCOM Deploys Guided-Missile Destroyer For “Southern Border Mission” As Hemispheric Defense Takes Shape

The USS Gravely (DDG-107), an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer in the US Navy, departed Naval Weapons Station Yorktown on the Virginia Peninsula on Saturday. The warship will operate in US and international waters in support of the “southern border mission,” according to a press release published by the US Northern Command.

“USS Gravely’s deployment will contribute to the U.S. Northern Command southern border mission as part of the DOD’s coordinated effort in response to the Presidential Executive Order. Gravely’s sea-going capacity improves our ability to protect the United States’ territorial integrity, sovereignty, and security,” Gen. Gregory Guillot, Commander, USNORTHCOM, stated. 

USNORTHCOM explained that Gravely’s mission will be “restoring territorial integrity at the U.S. southern border and reinforces the nation’s commitment to border security by enhancing maritime efforts and supporting interagency collaboration,” adding, “The ship’s deployment highlights the Department of Defense and Navy’s dedication to national security priorities, contributing to a coordinated and robust response to combating maritime related terrorism, weapons proliferation, transnational crime, piracy, environmental destruction, and illegal seaborne immigration.”

Ship tracking website Vessel Finder showed Gravely’s position (20 hours ago) off the Virginia Beach coast, transiting south… 

USS Gravely’s advanced radar and electronic warfare systems allow the US military to track multiple drug cartels—now designated as foreign terrorist organizations—threats simultaneously, including aircraft, missiles, and surface vessels.  

As we’ve been detailing, the US government has been conducting round after round of signals intelligence (SIGINT) operations near the US-Mexico border and over Mexico using spy planes and CIA drones…

What you see above is part of the preliminary work to disrupt, dismantle, and eliminate the command and control structures of drug cartels that kill 100,000 American lives per year. 

Remember, the Chinese are heavily involved as well… 

Of course, Democrats are melting down on social media over the deployment of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer to the region—potentially the Gulf of America.

The party is full of open-border globalists who have flooded the nation with millions of unvetted migrants, including thousands of terrorists, while offering no solutions to the ongoing migrant crisis that has overwhelmed local, state, and federal governments. That’s because Democrats see illegals as future voters and weaponized their rogue federal judges to obstruct President Trump’s efforts to restore national security by blocking deportations. 

There’s a broader theme for readers to understand: “Making Sense Of Hemispheric Defense In Trump Era.”

Globalist Games: They Play, We Pay

Authored by J.B.Shurk via AmericanThinker.com,

Canada’s Liberal Party selected central banker Mark Carney to lead the country as prime minister.  

He only recently became a politician, but already he’s sitting at the head of the class!  No worries, though.  He has the kind of résumé all globalists in good standing with Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum would envy.  He ran not only the Bank of Canada, but also the Bank of England.  He’s a central banker extraordinaire!  He loves printing funny money and manipulating markets.  Artificially created inflation is his jam, man!

Carney is the most recent iteration of the World Economic Forum’s standard operating procedure for captured governments (and Canada is most definitely WEF-captured): Whenever possible, put bankers in charge of those pesky territorial designations nostalgically known as nation-states.  France’s petit fromage, Emmanuel Macron, was a Rothschild & Co. investment banker.  Former U.K. prime minister Rishi Sunak was a Goldman Sachs and hedge fund guy.  Don’t be surprised when more transnational bankers seemingly come out of nowhere and immediately dominate the politics of other pseudo-sovereign countries.  Investment banking — and more specifically, central banking — is the lifeblood of globalism.  Why?  Because once a bank is big enough, it gambles with the futures of entire nations (and the millions of individual lives therein) as if they were mere poker chips.

So the globalist cabal claims another section of the world map!  Or retains its claim over Canada, I should say.  Everyone knows that soy-boy Justin Castreau (he cried during his farewell press conference, for Pete’s sake!) and his former deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, call Herr Schwab “Daddy.”  Germany’s Dr. Evil makes a natural father figure for both Canucks.

Kooky Chrystia is that crazy-eyed woke-tard who promised to use nuclear weapons against the United States if President Trump imposes reciprocal tariffs and turns off the American money spigots that have long subsidized Canada’s socialist system.  She is a Canadian Karen not likely to go away.  I’m sure Daddy Klaus will give her another chance to scream, “I am womyn, hear me roar!” after central banker Mark Carney completes Canada’s transition to a “green energy”–reliant vassal state of the international money-printing guild.  When the draft dodgers, hippies, and Chinadians up north have gorged on enough of Carney’s WEF-style globalism for Reichsführer Schwab to deem the peasants sufficiently subjugated, he can install Chrystia as prime minister without any resistance.  Once in place and empowered to finish off what’s left of Trudeau and Carney’s castrated Canada, she will probably rename her censorship-loving slave state “Not-so-Freeland-ia” in honor of her favorite grandpa’s fascist proclivities.  

No wonder President Trump remains worried about the U.S.-Canada border.  King Charles III’s North American refuge has become a hornet’s nest of globalists, communists, and woke Nazis.  Perhaps after the southern wall is finished, the builders should hightail it up to the 49th parallel and get busy.  Forget the “global warming” malarkey.  A WEF-engineered winter is most definitely coming.

Of course, Canada is but one territory being pursued in the globalists’ board game of central bank Risk.  The WEF-ers are rolling the dice and capturing lands all over the planet.  

For three years, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and America’s very own CIA have all been yelling,…

When Blue Jeans Were A Symbol Of Freedom

By Peter Tchir of Academy Securities

From Grok:

“For Soviet youth especially, blue jeans represented more than just fashion; they embodied individuality, rebellion, and a connection to the freedoms of the West, standing in stark contrast to the collectivist and restrictive Soviet system. Owning or wearing them became a subtle act of defiance, reflecting a broader yearning for personal expression and a lifestyle beyond the constraints of Soviet rule.”

We will circle back to why I think this is very important but let’s set the stage:

Two weeks ago we published Where the Economy is Headed.

One point was that much of the current data, particularly on the job front, seemed “optimistic” and would likely decline and/or be revised down.
We highlighted several areas of the economy that were causing concern, and those concerns have only increased in the past two weeks.
Last weekend we published You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet.

We presented our arguments for why there is no Trump Put, at least anywhere near today’s levels.
We first started to fixate on the risk that all the attention on trade deficits would impact capital flows, which have materially helped the U.S. and were a part of the American Exceptionalism trade.
We highlighted that a large percentage of revenue for companies in the S&P 500 comes from other countries! (This will tie into today’s title).
We laid out two scenarios that could turn markets around, and we haven’t seen either occur yet.
On Friday, we published An American Brand, which to some extent was a prelude to today’s report.

Is the American Brand being affected in such a way that it could hurt sales of American brands?
As I am increasingly nervous about the steps being taken and their impact on our economy and brands, and want to take the time to re-iterate why late last year and early this year we were optimistic.

We specifically use Grok as a source in this piece, under the assumption that of all the AI out there, Grok is most aligned with the administration.

The Goal

The working assumption, one that has solidified over time, is that:

The president wants to return manufacturing to the U.S. and leave a legacy of rebuilding the middle class!
Fully in support of rebuilding the middle class. How can you not be? A middle class that feels safe and secure in their jobs, a middle class that can afford the American Dream, etc. would be awesome. It is not like the middle class is non-existent, but there is room for improvement.

Completely support the need to manufacture more, especially things we need to ensure safety and security. We’ve been pounding the table from an investment standpoint that anything that can be construed as important to National Security should equate to National Production. “Drill Baby Drill” is merely the tip of the iceberg. We’ve argued for “Refine Baby Refine,” where it is not just the extraction of commodities, but the extraction AND processing that is crucial to our success from a National Security standpoint. But it goes well beyond…

How Barack Obama Built An Omnipotent Thought-Control Machine… And How It Was Destroyed

Rapid Onset Political Enlightenment

If anyone in the future cares enough to write an authentic history of the 2024 presidential campaign, they might begin by noting that American politics exists downstream of American culture, which is a deep and broad river. Like any river, American culture follows a particular path, which has been reconfigured at key moments by new technologies. In turn, these technologies, which redefine both space and time—canals and lakes, the postal system, the telegraph, railroads, radio and later television, the internet, and most recently the networking of billions of people in real time on social media platforms—set the rules by which stories are communicated, audiences are configured, and individuals define themselves.

Something big changed sometime after the year 2000 in the way we communicated with each other, and the means by which we absorbed new information and formed a working picture of the world around us. What changed can be understood as the effect of the ongoing transition from the world of 20th-century media to our current digital landscape. This once-every-five-centuries revolution would have large effects, ones we have only just begun to assimilate, and which have largely rendered the assumptions and accompanying social forms of the past century obsolete, even as tens of millions of people, including many who imagine themselves to reside near the top of the country’s social and intellectual pyramids, continue to imagine themselves to be living in one version or another of the long 20th century that began with the advent of a different set of mass communications technologies, which included the telegraph, radio, and film.

The time was ripe, in other words, for a cultural revolution—which would, according to the established patterns of American history, in turn generate a political one.

I first became interested in the role of digital technology in reshaping American politics a decade ago, when I reported on the selling of Barack Obama’s Iran deal for The New York Times Magazine. By the time I became interested in the subject, the outcome of Obama’s campaign to sell the deal, which had become the policy cornerstone of his second term in office, was a fait accompli. The Deal seemed odd to me, not only because American Jews were historically a key player in the Democratic Party—providing outsized numbers of voters, party organizers and publicists, in addition to huge tranches of funding for its campaigns—but because the Deal seemed to actively undermine the core assumptions of U.S. security architecture in the Middle East, whose goals were to ensure the steady flow of Middle Eastern oil to global markets while keeping U.S. troops out of the region. A Middle East in which the U.S. actively “balanced” a revisionist anti-American power like Iran against traditional U.S. allies like Saudi Arabia and Israel seemed guaranteed to become a more volatile region that would require exactly the kinds of active U.S. military intervention that Obama claimed to want to avoid. Nor…

Trump Orders New Large Scale Strikes On Iran-Backed Houthis In Yemen

Days ago Yemen’s Houthis announced they are resuming attacks on Red Sea shipping over Israel’s failure to fully open humanitarian aid corridors into the Gaza Strip.

But President Trump has responded preemptively by on Saturday ordering a series of new airstrikes on Yemen’s capital, Sanaa. The US commander-in-chief was warned he’ll continuing using “overwhelming lethal force” until the Iranian-backed Houthi completely halt their attacks.
Associated Press: Smoke rises from a location reportedly struck by U.S. airstrikes in Sanaa, Yemen, on Saturday.

The Houthis, known officially as the Ansar Allah movement, said that 15 people died in an updated figure, as a result of Saturday’s wave of US airstrikes.

Huge explosions were heard and witnessed in the capital in the northern province of Saada. Black smoke was seen over the Sanaa airport complex, which reportedly also hosts a very large military site.

“Our brave Warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks on the terrorists’ bases, leaders, and missile defenses to protect American shipping, air, and naval assets, and to restore Navigational Freedom,” Trump had continued in a post on Truth Social.

“No terrorist force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the Waterways of the World.”

He used to opportunity to also put Iran on notice, saying it will be held “fully accountable” for any aggression of its proxy in Yemen.

Ansar Allah’s leader last just Friday had declared a four-day deadline before attacks on shipping would resume. That four day timeline had ended by close of Tuesday, which means the Red Sea could be soon fiery scene of drone and missile attacks out of Yemen once again.

Since 2023 over 100 missile and drone attacks on commercial vessels have occurred in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The Houthis have also downed several MQ-9 Reaper drones operated by the Pentagon.

A US-led naval coalition which began under the Biden administration has been able to do nothing in terms of putting a dent in Houthi capabilities, even after several bombing raids on Yemen, also at times including Israeli and UK jets. The pattern has been that the Houthis have only upped their attacks after US and Israeli coalition raids.
