Ukraine and Cocaine

by Kurt Schlichter, Townhall:

There is an eerie parallel between what passes for America’s Ukraine policy and the fact that a fat sack of Bolivian energy dust got discovered in the White House and was promptly forgotten. These two happenings are two sides of the same coin, and its denomination is failure. It is the failure of our establishment, the last gasp – or snort – of a ruling caste that has discovered that, at the end of the day, it could get away with getting high on its own supply (at least for a while) and, like Tony Montana, ploughed its face into a mountain of nose candy as his world collapsed.

Further Evidence of WWIII – DoD Budget

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

The Department of Defense (DoD) drastically changed its budget plan. The left is constantly complaining about how America spends too much on defense, and the White House originally decided that there would be around a 2% increase in the budget for 2024, which is average. Now, the Department of Defense is planning a 10% increase in military spending for 2024.

Slava? No, Not Glory but Shame on Ukraine!

by Stephen Karganovic, Strategic Culture:

There is virtually no chance that the Nazi regime in Kiev will feel either shame or remorse for what it has just done.

There is virtually no chance that the Nazi regime in Kiev will feel either shame or remorse for what it has just done. That however does not alter the obligation of decent people everywhere to speak up and brand it with the shame it abundantly deserves.

Gold and Silver No Longer Subject to State Capital Gains Taxes in Arkansas

by Michael Maharrey, Schiff Gold:

On August 1, a law making gold and silver legal tender in Arkansas went into effect. The new law also effectively repeals the state capital gains tax on gold and silver.

Enactment of this legislation will relieve some of the tax burden on investors, and take a step toward treating precious metal bullion as money instead of a commodity.

Rep. Robin Lundstrum (R) and Sen. Jonathan Dismang (R) sponsored House Bill 1718 (HB1718). The law makes “gold and silver specie” legal tender in the state, meaning it is recognized as a medium of exchange. Practically speaking, this will allow Arkansans to use gold or silver coins as money rather than just as mere investment vehicles. In effect, it will create a more favorable legal structure for using gold and silver in transactions.

Populist Javier Milei Dominates Argentina Polls

by Jake Welch, The National Pulse:

Javier Milei, Argentina’s populist presidential hopeful, is storming ahead of the establishment candidates in national polls and is now predicted to triumph in the country’s general elections next month.

The latest national survey found that Milei is at 35 percent support among the Argentinian public, far ahead of Economy Minister Sergio Massa, on 25 percent, and Patricia Bullrich, on 23 percent. He is also the clear winner in a second-round runoff election against either candidate, with a 19 percent lead over Massa and an eight percent advantage over Bullrich.

Nobody Gets Out Alive from Climate Engineering Disaster – Dane Wigington

by Greg Hunter, USA Watchdog:

Climate engineering researcher Dane Wigington says huge lies are being told daily to cover up the speed in which the climate is imploding on a global scale. Sure, there have been all sorts of ways harm has been done to the environment, but Wigington contends the biggest single of damage being done to the planet right now is man-made climate engineering being sprayed from the skies. Wigington explains, “The bottom line is we are fighting for our lives right here and right now. The current paradigm is over. It’s in the death throws. The oceans are dying. The insects are dying. Plankton is dying. Our atmosphere is changing radically. Nothing can adapt to changes at this speed. Again, we are talking about toxic elements that should never be in our atmosphere. . . . We know there are patented processes for chemical ice nucleation. They have openly announced they are doing this. . . . If you bring this up, they spit out the conspiracy mantra from the fact-less and the fearful, and they don’t do any investigation whatsoever. Since when do we have winter storms coming out of the record warm Gulf of Mexico? We had water temperatures in Florida of 101 degrees. That is the same temperature range that Jacuzzi recommends for their hot tubs. It killed everything — everything.”

One Mistake Before Armageddon

by Paul Craig Roberts, Paul Craig Roberts:

Each of us faces each day threats to our health, happiness, and life. Overarching it all, we collectively face death from nuclear weapons.

The development of nuclear weapons was a human stupidity. They cannot be used, but their existence threatens the life of the planet.  So why have them?  Accident, emotional response, loss of reason are all human faults that can come into play at any time.

The ECB is Trapped Between Japan and the US

by Tom Luongo, Tom Luongo:

The ECB has a credibility problem.  It didn’t last year.  Last year it was the Fed with the credibility problem.  Today, it’s Christine Lagarde not Jerome Powell that needs to justify her policy.

Powell needed nearly a year after he began raising rates to get a significant portion of the market to believe he was serious about raising rates. Today, they don’t believe him if he making the odd dovish coo.
