1) As reported by Judd Legum at Popular Information, by “Presidential Memorandum” of 10/6/25, trump okayed:
a) building a road 211 miles long through Alaska wilderness to mine “valuable minerals located in the Ambler Mining District”; and
b) U.S. purchase of a 10% stake in Trilogy Metals, a business involved. [FN1] 1/9

2) As Legum notes further: “The entire value of Trilogy Metals”, based in Canada, “is tied to the Ambler Mining District project because it has no other business ventures. The mine is projected to produce minerals worth up to $7 billion.” [FN2] 2/9

We are watching each day how trump cannot be trusted w/power. People are grabbed off streets in “blue” areas that were not kind to trump in past elections. According to lies told by trump & trump’s flunkies in DHS and ICE, these people pose a threat to our country. 3/9

In reality, U.S. citizens, people here legally but whose skin is not white, are tossed into vehicles and taken to ICE centers. The effort is to create still more false narratives to justify imposition of martial law and cancellation of the 2026 midterm elections. 4/9

Gov’t purchase of stock in any corporation is not part of a “free market” system. And Trilogy Metals is “based in Canada.” [FN3]
Who votes those shares? To say anyone BUT trump is absurd. And if you think trump will act on “our” behalf, this shows that critical thinking is better protection of liberty than “2A.” 5/9

If allowed to proceed, trump can control corporate entities whose activities are shielded by the 6-maga majority on SCOTUS. They believe $ is speech. [FN4] That’s why they speak a lot, but with whom is confidential. 6/9

I’m not certain what statutes allow trump to buy corporate stock w/federal monies on behalf of the fed gov’t. Not much imagination is required to see the power that can be acquired & built up. And it would include corporations of other countries, as done w/Trilogy Metals. 7/9

It probably will be covered ex post facto in 45 U.S.C. 8647, The Whatever the Fuck trump Wants to Do Act. This has to be stopped - NOW. Hello Joint Chiefs! Fulfill your oaths. Members of Congress! You took an oath. I approve of the contents of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 8/9
