Long-Term Treasury Yields Surge, Wipe Out Effect of Bessent’s Hocus-Pocus Treasury Buybacks in 2 Days. Bond Market Not to Be Played With
by Wolf Richter • Aug 21, 2026 • 18 Comments
If bond buyers lose confidence, they’ll demand even higher yields. Bessent better watch out with his games.
By Wolf Richter for WOLF STREET.
Bessent is playing games with the hugely important bond market, trying to fool the buyers and sellers with his two hocus-pocus shows – the big kahuna joint US-Japan yen intervention at the beginning of August, and the announcement of the doubling of the Treasury buybacks on Wednesday. Those two shows were designed to push down long-term Treasury yields. But the bond market doesn’t want to be played with. It has bigger problems. Real problems.
This time, the hocus-pocus show worked for only one day. And that effect was wiped out in two days. Long-term Treasury yields have now fully re-gained the drop on Wednesday.
Worthless Repuke John RINO Roberts — the inflamed prick who stuck us with Obamacare 15 years ago — just peddled his pimply ass to Donnie Fubar:
‘Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is allowing the White House to continue construction on President Donald Trump’s $400 million ballroom project for now. Roberts signed a temporary order on Friday allowing work to continue while the court considers an emergency appeal from the Trump administration. Lower courts had ordered a halt to the project, finding that it must have congressional approval.’
https://apnews.com/live/trump-economy-news-updates-08-21-2026
It’s worse than that — Clowngress explicitly refused to fund Trump’s ballroom. But little Lord Roberts doesn’t care what the so-called people’s representatives have to say.
RINO Roberts deserves an early date with the electric chair. Sic semper tyrannis. BZZZZZTTTTTTTT!!! 🙂
SCROTUS is supposed to be the last line of defense against unconstitutional abuse of powers by the other branches but it has NEVER really worked out that way.
There is a “John Roberts” all over the Epstein flight logs. Is their any doubt now it is the one and the same of the Chief “Justice” (sic) of SCROTUS?
Gard and Eric – I checked into what Bessent said:
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the government’s bond buyback program could exceed $4 billion per issue, surpassing the $4 billion ceiling announced just a day earlier.
4 billion doesn’t sound like didly shit
An average issue of US Treasury bonds varies significantly by maturity, but as of mid-2026, the standard auction sizes are:
30-Year Bonds: $25 billion per auction.
10-Year Notes: $42 billion per auction.
3-Year Notes: $58 billion per auction.
Two senators were talking, a billion here and a billion there, pretty soon it adds up to real money. What is the goal of the Treasury with these buybacks?
To save the government money?
To keep rising interest rates surpressed?
If Bessent spooks the bond market then the bond vigilanties are going to make him pau
Unfortunately Gard and Eric get into Scott Bessent’s bond manipulation this week – yet neither of you actually talked about what the Treasury did which has both of you alarmed. I watch the bond market daily, I don’t know.
So I asked Goolag Ai: what exactly did Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent do to manipulate the US bond market this week
On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent executed a highly unusual, interventionist market maneuver by doubling the Treasury Department’s planned buybacks of long-term government bonds from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation beginning in September. The aggressive policy shift aimed to intentionally reduce the supply of 10-year to 30-year Treasuries, thereby artificially driving up bond prices and pushing down soaring long-term interest rates.
While the Treasury frames the intervention as a mechanism to inject liquidity into a volatile, thinly traded market, Wall Street traders and economists view it as a political, de facto quantitative easing (QE) attempt to manipulate the yield curve. By buying back long-dated bonds and expectedly funding them through short-term bills, the maneuver temporarily stems a major bond market sell-off. However, the initial market rally quickly fizzled by Thursday, as bond yields jumped back up to near-historic highs over deeper concerns about Washington’s swelling $40 trillion national debt
I haven’t watched this yet, but later tonight I will, Adam Taggart’s show is excellent:

Obviously, I think no what the Treasury does, bond yields are going to the moon, and interest on the national debt, already over a trillion a year, is going to explode higher causing a national financing crisis for the hegemon already in a precipice decline from Trump’s failed illegal Iran war.
Goolag Ai – which knowledgable substack writer actually understands scott bessent’s treasury desperate move to save the bond market
Several prominent financial Substack writers have broken down Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s unexpected long-bond buyback maneuver. Three distinct writers offer the deepest, most knowledgeable analyses of the structural plumbing, political motivations, and long-term consequences of this policy:🎙️ Felix Jauvin & Quinn Thompson — Forward Guidance
On their Forward Guidance Substack thread, macro analysts Felix Jauvin and Quinn Thompson immediately taped a real-time deep-dive into what they call the “Debasement Regime.”
Their Core Thesis: They dissect the mechanics of how doubling the buybacks to $4 billion directly triggered a massive rally in alternative hard assets.
The Insight: They note that hours after the announcement, gold surged toward $4,500 and Bitcoin experienced a massive $1.27 billion short liquidation. They explain the plumbing of how changing the calendar and duration profile forces capital out of dying long-term bonds and directly into scarce, non-debasable assets.
📉 Stephen Innes — The Dark Side of the BoomIn his targeted entries “Bessent’s Bond Burner” and “Bessent Boosts Debt Buybacks”, veteran macro strategist Stephen Innes addresses the market’s psychological reaction.
His Core Thesis: Innes warns traders to “handle the reflex comparison with QE carefully.” Legally, this is liquidity support, not the Fed printing cash.
The Insight: However, Innes expertly notes that “markets rarely trade the footnotes first; they trade the signal.” He reveals that because 30-year yields were pushing past 5.33%—making Washington visibly uncomfortable—Bessent intentionally used the Treasury trading desk to send a shot across the bow to bond shorts.🏛️ Paul Krugman — Paul Krugman’s Substack
Writing from a highly critical, macroeconomic policy angle, Nobel laureate Paul Krugman published “Scott Bessent Fails to Gaslight the Market.”
His Core Thesis: Krugman approaches the event as an inherently political act aimed at masking structural economic rot before the upcoming midterm elections.
The Insight: He highlights the swift failure of the maneuver. Krugman details how the bond market immediately rejected the intervention on Thursday by driving yields right back up, proving that an administration cannot “gaslight” the bond market when investors are genuinely terrified of a swelling $40 trillion national debt.
(((Note – Krugman is Jew liar and nothing he says should be trusted)))
Huey Long and Juan Perón used to do shit like this — and didn’t care whether a few people figured out the scam:
‘With 74 days remaining until the midterm elections and average retail ground-beef prices hovering near $7 per pound, President Trump said in a Truth Social post Friday morning that his administration will temporarily waive certain tariffs on ground-beef imports.
“Today, I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families. As everyone knows, under President Biden, beef prices soared at their fastest rate and the American beef herd fell to its smallest size in modern history,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
‘Trump continued, “As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out-of-quota tariff.”
‘He concluded, “We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices. This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again.”‘

Orange Fail is openly telling us that cheap beef is a 90-day teaser rate to buy the election. Then he’ll stick it to us again, harder.

Here is my EPAutos inspired FICTIONAL movie script like Red Dawn, movie by a young Christian patriot named Adam who follows in the footsteps like Charlie Kirk to the logical conclusion that in order for good to survive immoral boomers must die. Do not take part in any violence, the government hates competition.
“I thought of the most excellent movie script this morning (which exposes and condemns the older generation of Christians who are unable to process reality), in this movie a true Christian young man has a conscious awakening in our Jewish controlled Simulacrum, goes from a model obedient citizen to becoming a rebel leader who makes war on the older Christian boomers who refuse to stop supporting demonic Israel.
The movie starts out seeing a handsome Christian boy named Adam (represents a new genetic beginning) singing praises to Jesus in church, he is surrounded by Christians who love Trump, but through a series of synchronicities he becomes conscious that his faith is a deception, Trump is really a monster, the forecast antichrist, and his Evangelical Christian brethren are really demonic helpers of butchers and murderers of evil Israel.
Scene: Adam sees MTG, a Christian woman he respects, talking on Fox News about how Trump is a liar who campaigned on MAGA but was really only for Israel. At the next Sunday church, we see Adam arguing with the church elders (boomers) about how Trump has sold the nation out, he questions the church elders about how a Christian congresswoman is calling president Trump the antichrist. The elders get angry and throw him out of church. Adam learns a hard lesson, Christians only love you when you agree with them.
Adam becomes “conspiratorial aware” and leaves the church with a bunch of his young born again friends after learning Israel is doing false flags, that his church’s support of Israel is wrong, that the US government is run by Jew whores and traitors, that the older boomer generation is sick and evil for supporting evil Israel. Adam and his friends try talking sense to the older generation, but they are hopelessly brainwashed and stubborn, absolutely will not stop supporting demonic Israel and MIGA trump.
Scene: Adam and his friends are shown using their smart phones to connect to social media going on alt sites and learning about what is really going on. (Adam now has a beautiful Christian girlfriend (a non-fake Erika Kirk stereotype who the audience connects with), who believes in his greatness, and totally supports separating from the evil older generation which is actually satanic and not christian). Part of Adam’s liberation is making love outside of marriage, Adam is now openly defying the controlling religious order of the hypocritical older generation. (Adam has the white gorgeous blond and strong girlfriend who is always ready for love making as a good christian woman – the message to the audience is white heterosexuality is the new morality)
Adam is dedicated to his “hot wife” out of wedlock, but is more dedicated to the cause (which the audience is taught is dedication to god over the babe) becomes despondent how completely evil Amerika is, especially the church (aka the christian flock), he withdraws from society and we see Adam growing a beard, living in the woods, praying like George Washington for guidance (viewers know Adam is the new patriot leader). When Adam re-emerges from the wilderness (he is carrying a homemade walking stick, borrowing the Moses with staff trope so the audience knows he is the new spiritual leader on a divine mission from god) he walks into Medford, Oregon, now a militant police state, cops in black uniform harass him, flock cameras everywhere, he sees the homeless being executed point blank range and another thrown into unmarked vans and hauled away.
Scene: just like ‘They Live’, Roddy Piper (Nada) putting on the glasses and sees the real messages on billboards, but in this movie, the borrowed trope we see Adam coming to conscious awareness of the massive Israeli propaganda on all cars, homes, signs, flags that support Israel. Scene – Adam sees the USA flag next to the Israeli flag while walking past a boomer home, while scrolling social media images of the butchery in Gaza, it dawns on him he lives in a completely evil demonic society controlled by Jews and evil Christians. Just like Charlie Kirk waking up, Adam wakes up that he lives in a matrix of Jewish evil.
At this point, Adam decides that to be a “true Christian” he is going to have to take action to save Christianity which has fallen into the pits of Judaic perdition, and the boomer generation gone fully satanic, and makes plans to do a reverse false flag to save Amerika. Adam decides to blow up his own church to save their souls. This will be broadcast nationwide, and he intuits the older boomer generation are worthless cowards who will fall in line once they realize they can die supporting Israel. (Scene – Adam is watching Kevin Barrett on False Flag Weekly News)
Like the Vietnam war, Adam becomes convinced in order to save his people, it is necessary to destroy them. (we see Adam watching an old news broadcast by Peter Arnett during the 1968 Tet Offensive – the famous quote “It became necessary to destroy the town to save it”) Scene – we see our militia gang of true young Christians torching the evil older generation behind locked doors of the home town church.
Scene – younger generation of true Christians read passages from the Old Testament of God commanding the true Israelites to destroy all those who do not worship the true god, they galvanize their minds to the dying screams of the hypocrites and demons being burned alive in their own church. In order to save their souls, the must be tried by fire. It is made clear to the movie viewers that to be a true Christian, to follow the true god of Israel, they must destroy the imposter Khazar Jews who have corrupted the church and nation.
(a movie trope is borrowed to re-create this scene, we borrow the trope from ‘The Graduate’, Adam trapping the angry boomers in the church with a large cross pinning the front door shut).
In the 1967 movie The Graduate, the angry crowd of wedding guests and family members are trapped inside the church when Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) crashes Elaine Robinson’s (Katharine Ross) wedding. Benjamin uses a large wooden cross to lock the glass doors from the outside, leaving the furious group pounding and yelling behind the glass.
At the end of the movie we see Adam has become the new Christian leader of Amerika (he is the new true Charlie Kirk), he is burning churches down to save the Christian souls from possession of demonic Israel. We see young Christians all over nation joining forces to rid Amerika of Zionism in order to save their faith. We see on TV antichrist Trump and his rich cronies condemning these “terrorist” acts, and we see Congress revealing the latest Jeffrey Epstein files of raping little girls and babies, killing, cooking, and eating them – so the movie goers understand fully the Amerikan government is completely and totally satanically evil, is beyond any redemption, and must be totally burned to the ground, the nation must destroyed by fire so it can begin again in a new direction.
Scene – Adam watches a science TV show that show how fire restores the forests for new life, this convinces him that Amerika must be torched to be renewed again. He becomes fully convinced that he could prevent a nuclear holocaust if the people would rise up and initiate the destruction themselves instead of allowing the demonic Trump cabal from triggering all out nuclear war with Russia and China. The viewers are shown that Adam is a reluctant messiah, but every step of the way the unseen spiritual forces are guiding his path to an inevitable conclusion – the older boomer sellouts to demonic Israel, like the Pat Robertson 700 Club must face the wrath of god for their loyalty to evil.
I believe this would make an excellent movie on par with Red Dawn, The Book of Eli, the Matrix, etc. It would be aimed at young Christians awakening in the matrix of pure Jew evil which has the western nations by the throat. It would be set in radical Portland, Oregon, which is full of Leftists and Christians alike – and in the movie many of the radical Leftist ideas are cross pollinated into the Christian culture. In this movie, the young Christian revolutionaries are vectored information from young warriors all across the political and theological spectrum.
In one scene, with despondent Adam is the wood meditating, he wakes up to see a couple of Hare Krishna devotees who showed up out of nowhere with the Bhagavad Gita and stay for a week teaching Adam the moral lessons of Krishna to Arjuna – how he must pick up a sword and kill his own people for good to survive. Krishna teaches that good people must destroy evil people for society to continue at often intervals. After the young Krishna bucks leaves, one of Adams young patriot friends reminds him of what Thomas Jefferson said about the blood of tyrants being shed for freedom to survive. These events galvanize Adam’s mind that kinetic action must take place, thoughts and words are not enough.
During the movie, the audience is shown graphic scenes of violence and destruction in Gaza and Amerika. The world is like a bad movie from Jewish control. Adam gains understanding that the fundamental Christian churches subverted to Old Testament have abandoned the teachings of the New Testament Gospels. The targeted Christian audience has these thoughts reinforced in the movie, that again and again the Church has fallen and is now irredeemable and must be destroyed to save the Christian faith.”
All movies are about the present moment. Idiocracy is not about America 500 years in the future, it is about our idiotic nation right now. The movie “The Book of Eli” is set after a nuclear holocaust, while this movie is about preventing one. Trump is taking us toward one, he is working with NATO and Ukraine to attack Russia. This could easily lead to all out war, in which many people die horrible deaths.
In this movie, young people are the heroes just like Red Dawn. The older generation is fat, dumb, and happy and get put into execution camps. To prevent the total Jewish takeover of America, Adam (aka Charlie Kirk) must overcome his church and Bible brainwashing that Jews are good people, chosen, or chosen by the white god. Adam has to come to understand the Christianity is being used by Jews to destroy the nation from within.
The viewers on this movie are called into action to defeat the liars and deep state. Trump is for Israel, not America. Real Christians gaining red-pilled awareness must see the Trump regime, Israel, Likud, Chabad, SPLC, ADL, the war agenda, corporations, media, wealthy Jewish donors, the 700 Club, and evangelical churches as the enemy of their faith and life itself. For life to survive, good must defeat evil. America is just about completely gone – fallen into Khazar Jewish evil. Young people, who are our future, who are carrying the breedable DNA, must rise up and defeat the old order.
Bummed I couldn’t make the live show yesterday. Great interview, always appreciate Gard’s approach to reporting news of the state. Just a heads up – you put the Bill Meyer show image on this one.

Putin’s Epic Blunders Have Enabled The Western Psychopathic Elites To Devastate Russia
With Wanton Abandon
Submitted by a Veteran Intelligence Analyst & Former U.S. Military Officer
SOTN Exclusive
Blunder #1: Putin failed to take Kiev in the very beginning of Russia’s Special Military Operation even when Ukraine’s strategic capital city was effectively surrounded.
Blunder #2: Putin inexplicably neglected to take out all of the military installations; major stationary weapons, munition sites and armament depots; major supply lines and key bridges; command and control centers early in the war which then allowed Ukraine to carry out countless terrorist attacks against Russia at will.
Blunder #3: Putin consistently refused to respond with massive retaliatory strikes after each attack on Moscow and Saint Petersburg by NATO. This was a seriously tragic mistake which has emboldened NATO to a degree that was once inconceivable, and which has exposed Russia as a cowardly paper tiger.
Blunder #4: Putin has constantly allowed NATO to send wave after wave of drones into Russia thereby testing the nation’s reaction time and effectiveness of all defenses. This has also permitted NATO to find all the weaknesses in air defenses surrounding Moscow and Saint Petersburg especially so that when their major attacks are launched in the not-too-distant, the Western military powers know exactly what they will be facing, as well as how to flatten targeted areas.
Blunder #5: Putin perilous lack of shock and awe reactions to NATO invasions has also seen Russia’s stock of drones and missiles slowly depleted, as well as their air defense weaponry taxed to the maxxed and store of ammunition used up. Which means that the longer this ruinous war of attrition goes on, the more Russia will become vulnerable to all manner of successful NATO attacks.
There are several other “Epic Blunders” by Putin et al. but each of the aforementioned will go down in the history books as being the primary cause of Russia’s ultimate military defeat.
KEY POINTS: Each one of these 5 blunders, individually, can be the cause for the conquering of the Russian Federation by NATO and its secret client states so when considered collectively, it’s now apparent they were all “PART OF THE PLAN”. Therefore, it ought to be crystal clear that the longer Putin’s Kremlin maintains such a woefully defective military strategy ON PURPOSE, the greater the likelihood that Russia will be sufficiently destroyed so that it can be effectively taken over by the West. Which means that Chabad-controlled Putin treasonously sold out his nation.
“According to Treasury data, total U.S. debt crossed $40 trillion this week, only about five months after it crossed $39 trillion in March, while government spending continues to exceed revenue by more than $2 trillion annually.”

I laugh at 5% t-bonds which Scott Bessent the Treasury Secretary is DESPERATELY trying to hold down interest rates.
At some point bond holders I going to have to wake up to some sort or reality consciousness about bond yields being at such a low level when the nation is run by irresponsible spendthrifts who are willing to bomb and loot other nations. If Trump is willing to nuke Iran he sure doesn’t give a rat’s ass about paying back the debts he is racking up.
The world is asleep to massive OUT OF CONTROL government debts. In actuality, Amerika is a broken, mudbrid invaded, violent, mad, collapsing police state going full banana republik. 5% bonds are ridiculous!
White people were 100% betrayed by the Jews who are responsible for collapsing our high trust society, Jews did the false flags, own the lying media, get us into endless wars for Israhell, and have imported 100 million turd world invaders. We are so fucked it is not even funny. The illegal invasion was supported by every single Jewish organization.
IMO interest rates are going to the moon. The breaking bond market hasn’t seen anything yet. If Scott Bessent wants to push interest rates down the first thing he should do is get a .357 and blow that punk ass spendthrift orange lunatic POTUS back to hell like Dirty Harry in Magnum Force.
Trump is destroying our nation with his endless illegal evil stupid war, but also by spending our nation into an early grave. Not funny, not a joke, we are going to pay a heavy price, maybe even lose our lives as Trump takes us to hell.
