THE PRESIDENT MADE 28,700 STOCK TRADES IN 17 MONTHS — MORE THAN ALL OF CONGRESS COMBINED, THE BOARD VOTED TO SHUT DOWN THE KENNEDY CENTER, THE GOVERNMENT CONFIRMED THAT WEAPONS HAVE BEEN PLACED IN ORBIT — AND THE HOUSE VOTED TO END THE CONFLICT FOR THE THIRD TIME

Trump’s Venezuela reset revealed

President Trump secured a deal to seize control over a colossal new source of oil.

According to reports, we’re talking about 65 billion barrels spread across 17 Venezuelan oil fields.

For comparison, the United States currently has roughly 46 billion barrels of proven domestic oil.

Combined, that would put Washington in control of around 7% of all proven reserves on the planet.

The media are treating this as a deal to lower gas prices, rebuild Venezuela and refill America’s depleted Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Because I don’t believe this is just about oil.

It’s about the U.S. dollar.

The last time America reset its monetary system, in 1974, oil sat at the very heart of it.

A secret pact with Saudi Arabia created the petrodollar – and changed the financial destiny of an entire generation.

Over the next 50 years, America created, on average, more than a thousand new millionaires every day.

Yet millions of ordinary workers and savers – who were never told that the rules of money had changed – watched their wages fall behind and their savings steadily hollowed out.

Now, assuming the deal is accurate as reported, Trump has secured a 35% U.S. government stake in the company controlling these Venezuelan fields…

Guaranteed access to 20% of its oil at production cost, with first refusal on the remaining 80%…

And concessions lasting an entire century.

Perhaps most revealingly, the agreement is pushing Chinese operators out of strategic Venezuelan oil fields.

That’s because Venezuela isn’t an isolated oil deal.

A reset that connects everything from the government’s billion-dollar stakes in obscure mining companies…

To the reopening of retired nuclear facilities and Trump's obsession with invading Greenland and annexing Canada.

And if I’m right, the consequences won’t stop at the gas pump.

This could affect the purchasing power of the money you’ve saved…

The value of the assets inside your investment portfolio…

And which companies receive the first flood of capital as Trump’s New Dollar takes hold.

Strung together by a flurry of executive orders and a 13-nation treaty signed inside the State Department, most folks have no idea this is happening – let alone how to prepare for it.

That’s why, in my new investigation, I reveal how Venezuela fits into Trump’s secret dollar reset…

Why this controversial initiative could be exposed to the world as soon as December…

The five mission-critical companies I believe sit at the center of the new monetary system…

And the name and ticker of my No. 1 move to make today.

The president made nearly 28,700 stock trades in 17 months. Bloomberg reviewed the financial disclosures and reported the number on Monday. During the same period, every member of Congress combined made about 22,200 trades. The president made more than all of them.

Every previous president in modern history made zero trades while in office. Clinton: zero. Bush: zero. Obama: zero. Biden: zero. In his first term, the current president made 517. In his second term, the number is 28,700 and counting.

The same president backed a House bill in July that bans members of Congress, their spouses, and their children from trading individual stocks. The bill says nothing about the president. When Senator Hawley proposed extending the ban to the presidency, the president called him a “pawn.”

The White House says outside firms manage his holdings and that neither the president nor his family directs any trades. Bloomberg reported that the trades happened between his second inauguration in January 2025 and the end of June 2026.

The president who starts conflicts, sets tariffs, moves markets with a single post, and signs executive orders that reshape entire industries… made 28,700 trades while doing it. He then backed a law to ban everyone else from doing the same thing. The law does not apply to him.

28,700 TRADES. 17 MONTHS. MORE THAN ALL OF CONGRESS. EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT IN MODERN HISTORY MADE ZERO.

BREAKING

The Board of Trustees Voted to Shut Down the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

The board voted to close the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Democracy Now reported the decision Wednesday. The building that has served as the national cultural center since 1971 will shut its doors.

In August, the Department of Justice suggested tearing it down so the president could put his name on a replacement. Now the board has voted to close it entirely. The building was named after President John F. Kennedy. It hosts the National Symphony Orchestra, the Washington National Opera, and hundreds of performances a year.

The machine tried to rename it. Then it tried to tear it down. Now it voted to close it. The building named after a president who was murdered is being shut down by the board that the current president appointed.

The machine does not preserve. It replaces.

EXPOSED

The Government Confirmed That the Space Force Has Placed Weapons in Orbit

The government acknowledged Wednesday that the Space Force has deployed weapons in orbit. Democracy Now reported the confirmation as part of its daily headlines. It is the first time the United States has publicly confirmed placing weapons in space.

The Space Force was created in 2019. Since then, its budget and mission have expanded with little public debate. Placing weapons in orbit crosses a line that the international community has debated for decades. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 banned weapons of mass destruction in space but left conventional weapons in a gray area.

The government made the announcement the same day it voted to close the Kennedy Center, confirmed 28,700 presidential stock trades, and lost a third House vote on the conflict. The weapons were already there. The government just told you.

The machine puts weapons where you cannot see them and tells you after the fact. That is not transparency. That is notification.

“The American people deserve to know that those they elect to public office actually serve the American people and not their own wallets.”

— Representative Anna Paulina Luna, at the same convention where the president made 28,700 trades public

DEVELOPING

The House Voted to End the Conflict for the Third Time — It Will Not Matter

The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to end the conflict with Iran. Democracy Now reported it as the third time the chamber has taken this vote. Each time, the effort has failed to become law.

In April, the Senate rejected a similar resolution 52 to 47. Every Republican except Rand Paul voted no. Every Democrat except John Fetterman voted yes. The conflict continued. In July, the House passed a second version. The Senate did not act. The conflict continued. Now the House has voted a third time.

The vice president says it is not a conflict. The president says the costs will last through November. The missiles are running low. The strait is closed. Two shipping routes are contested. And the branch of government that is supposed to decide whether the country goes to a conflict has voted three times to end it… and three times it did not matter.

The machine does not need permission from Congress. It goes anyway. Congress votes no. The machine keeps going. That is the system.

Connecting the Dots

▸ The Bigger Picture

Four stories from one Wednesday. Bloomberg reported that the president made 28,700 stock trades in 17 months while backing a law that bans everyone in Congress from doing the same thing… a law that does not apply to him. The board he appointed voted to close the Kennedy Center, the building named after a president who was murdered. The government confirmed it has placed weapons in orbit without public debate. And the House voted for the third time to end the conflict… and for the third time, it will not matter.

The press covers each on its own page. A “financial disclosure.” A “cultural story.” A “defense announcement.” A “congressional vote.” But the thread is the same in every one.

The machine writes the rules for everyone else and exempts itself. The president trades more than Congress and backs a ban that leaves him out. The board closes a landmark and the man who appointed the board gets to decide what goes up next. The military places weapons in space and tells the public afterward. And the body that is supposed to control when the country fights votes no three times and nothing changes. Every rule has a loophole. Every vote has no teeth. Every announcement comes after the fact. The machine does not ask permission. It trades, it closes, it deploys, and it overrides. Then it tells you.

When the president trades more than Congress and Congress votes to end a conflict three times and nothing stops… the rules apply to everyone except the people who write them. That’s the Seventh Floor.

They rely on the shadows.
It’s time to turn on the lights.
