That was a declaration of operational readiness. CBI does not broadcast next steps unless the infrastructure is already in place.

They Called Refining a Dying Business. Diesel Just Hit $6.

Notes From the Field By James Hickman 9Simon Black / Sovereign Man) September 16, 2026

On Sunday afternoon, the power went out at ExxonMobil's refinery in Channahon, Illinois, a southwest suburb of Chicago.  Oil refineries run at tremendous heat and pressure, so whenever the power goes out, all that heat and pressure has to go somewhere. It’s basic physics. Hence why the plant burned it off through the flare stacks, with black smoke visible for miles.

Are Central Banks Moving Out of Dollar Assets?

 Are Central Banks Moving Out of Dollar Assets?

Linda S. Goldberg, Oliver Hannaoui, and Sneha Parthasarathy

The dollar’s share of global official foreign exchange reserves fell from 64 percent in 2015 to 56 percent in 2025. This downward trajectory is sometimes read as evidence that the dollar’s role in international financial markets is eroding.

However, aggregate statistics obscure the composition of changes occurring at the country level. In this post, we show that the aggregate decline is not a systematic global shift away from dollar assets. Rather, the aggregate decline reflects the actions of a handful of large reserve holders, changing either their currency preferences or the size of their reserve portfolio.

A Observation So To Speak: The Reset

Everyone reads September 30 as a disarmament deadline. Read it the other way: it’s the last day the old security architecture exists.

Militias holding weapons and militias holding hoarded cash are frequently the same gentlemen, and the weapons deadline functions as a census. Compliance with the handover signals compliance with the financial order that follows seven days later.
