⚠ In short, the REAL reason DJT is suddenly sending troops into Portland, Oregon — in case it felt random. Literally -- follow the money. Let me explain…
Yesterday, (Sept. 27th), I shared DJT's post on Truth Social:
“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect war-ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”
Out of nowhere, he declared Portland “war ravaged” and ordered in troops.
Oregon officials — Gov. Tina Kotek, Mayor Keith Wilson — immediately said it was nonsense.
Portland was calm.
No one had asked for help.
Local leaders flatly told DJT the number of troops needed was 0.
So why Oregon? Why now?
Let's follow the money, beloved.
No. Literally.
Bc here’s the part that got buried in the noise these last few weeks.
How about Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon has been investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s financial network for over 3 years now.
On Sept. 9th, he introduced the 'Produce Epstein Treasury Records Act', a bill designed to compel Treas. Sec. Scott Bessent to release ALL of Epstein’s suspicious financial activity reports to the Senate.
This legislation is part of Wyden’s ongoing effort to trace the BILLIONS of dollars flowing through Epstein’s accounts and uncover the financial enablers of his crimes.
Wyden’s team has already seen glimpses — more than $1.5 BILLION in suspicious transactions, including:
✓ Over 4,7k wire transfers totaling approximately $1.1B processed through Epstein’s JPMorgan Chase account.
✓ Payments to women from Eastern European countries, the regions where many of Epstein’s alleged victims originated.
✓ Transfers through sanctioned Russian banks, used to process payments tied to sex trafficking.
✓ Involvement of other major financial institutions, including Deutsche Bank, Bank of New York Mellon, and Bank of America, which facilitated roughly $1.9B in Epstein-linked transactions.
✓ Investments tied to billionaire Peter Thiel, including $40M in Valar Ventures that has grown to roughly $170M — the largest asset of Epstein’s estate.
- And he’s also pressing JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon to explain WHY THE HELL the bank continued to do business with Epstein long AFTER his 2008 conviction.
Now... if y'all remember, just a few days after Wyden's bill (and 2 days before DJT made the post about sending troops to Portland (Sept. 25th)), I was sharing how the House Oversight Committee received a 3rd batch of documents from Epstein’s estate, including calendars, call logs, and cash ledgers.
These are NOT Treasury financial reports - BUT, they complement Wyden’s investigation by showing operational patterns, interactions, and the broader context of Epstein’s network, just in general.
In shorter words, and to make it plain: the timing of DJT's troop deployment comes just DAYS after Wyden escalated the Treasury financial investigation, and just 2 days AFTER the new Epstein documents were released to Congress.
Coincidence? I sure tf don't think so.
And that’s not just Oregon news.
That’s the kind of story that could expose powerful men, global banks, and YEARS of cover-ups.
Not that I need to say this... but I think by now we all know this is NOT about “law and order” in Portland. smh.
So, in these kinds of instances, it's best to look for what they don't want you to see.
It is, once again IMHO, a headline-grabbing distraction.
By sending troops, DJT shifts attention away --AGAIN-- from the financial and operational investigations that could expose powerful people and institutions connected to Epstein.
And there’s one more layer we can't ignore.
Sending troops into Portland isn’t just a distraction — it’s a message.
It’s DJT showing Oregon (and every other state that dares to dig too deep) that the federal government can come for you if you step out of line.
It’s about intimidating the home base of the senator who’s pulling on the financial threads of the Epstein network.
It’s about making the “Wyden-Epstein story” look like a local political scuffle instead of a global financial scandal.
It’s about rebranding a city known for protests and investigative journalism as “war-ravaged” — so anything coming out of it can be dismissed as chaos.
THIS is how you bury a money trail:
By flooding the news cycle with “troops” and “riots” and “law and order,” you turn the place where the investigation originates into a circus — and hope the public looks away from the billion-dollar question.
So no, DJT suddenly sending troops into Portland wasn’t random IMHO.
And the scope of the story is no longer just about Epstein, banks, or Congress:
– It’s about how power and media attention can be manipulated to bury inconvenient truths;
– It’s about drowning out the story that actually matters — the money trail;
– And it’s about sending a warning shot at the people and places digging for those answers.
As always, sources in comments.
Hope this helped.

Heads up: For those wanting a peaceful, family-friendly way to protest Trump sending federal agents/troops into our city, there's a "No Federal Forces in Portland" rally and march being held today (Sunday 28) at Tom McCall Waterfront Park at the Battleship Memorial. Bring your signs and kids!

They're so deeply corrupt.
I hope Wyden continues to push forward.

That's what I've heard and seen through photos. I was headed there this summer, but my healthy hiccup prevented it. Next summer maybe. I want to take the train from NorCal to Seattle.
When my son lived in Portland we'd go all the way up the Columbia Basin.
Never seen anything like it before. Just stunning.

A couple times a year when I lived in Portland I loved to drive up the Gorge, turn right at Hood River m, then stop at the Timberland lodge for the view and a coffee then drive back down the mountain through the east side of PDX.
I think I did that. We also hiked into some intense waterfall. It was like a couple hundred foot cascade.

The hike from the parking lot up to the top of the falls is an excellent hike with a stunning view of it own
He moved to Bellingham WA and took me to Victoria and the the entire washington peninsula, including the Hoh rainforest. I'd never seen anything like that before.
He lives in Chelan in the high desert now.
Yeah I liked that. It was really exciting. He liked to take me on long steep hikes. I loved it.

This SCOTUS though...
The only thing that's interesting about SCOTUS to me right now is that Alito and Thomas are stubbornly hanging on.
They may play their own version of RBG
