Western Civilization in Decline

by E. Jeffrey Ludwig, American Thinker:

After witnessing the first detonation of the atomic bomb in New Mexico, J. Robert Oppenheimer, a brilliant Princeton University physicist who helped lead the Manhattan Project, remembered a line from the Bhagavad Gita and compared the explosion’s brilliance to a thousand suns.  He uttered these haunting words, “I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”  This deplorable writer has a similar sense when looking at the implosion of institutions and values in the USA.  This implosion is multi-layered, covering philosophical, theological, legal, and political institutions and values over a long period of time.

US Records 2nd Biggest July Deficit In History As 25% Of Tax Revenue Go To Pay Interest

from ZeroHedge:

While there was much more talk about the soaring US budget deficit earlier this year, when debt seemed to rise by $1 trillion every other month, lately it appears that the topic has become almost taboo perhaps because neither presidential candidate has any plan or clue how to normalize the trend which assures fiscal collapse for the US and the loss of dollar reserve status.

But while others may have conflicts of interest in reporting on this most important topic, we don’t, and we are sad to inform our readers that July was another catastrophic month for US fiscal viability: that’s because US tax revenue of $330.4BN (down sharply from the $466.3BN in June, if higher than the $276.2BN a year ago), was far below the $573.1BN in government outlays (which was materially above the $537.2BN in June and also the $496.9BN last July)…

Remember Beirut. This is what evil looks like.

Exposure at Hedge Funds Has Skyrocketed to Over $28 Trillion; Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Are at Risk

by Pam Martens and Russ Martens, Wall St On Parade:

According to a report at the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Financial Research (OFR), the Gross Notional Exposure at hedge funds has skyrocketed by 24.5 percent in the span of one year: from $22.946 trillion on March 31, 2023 to $28.579 trillion on March 31, 2024. (Run your cursor along the top green line at this link to observe the stunning growth in hedge fund exposures despite the banking crisis in the spring of 2023 when the second, third and fourth largest banks blew up.)

Gross Notional Exposure (GNE) is defined by OFR as “the sum of the absolute value of long and short exposures, including those on and off the balance sheet.”

This statistic makes me sick.

Things Just Got Even More “Interesting” In The Middle East And In Ukraine

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

Most people don’t seem to realize this yet, but we have entered a time of global war.  While millions in the western world are partying, an apocalyptic all-out war is threatening to erupt in the Middle East and Ukraine has launched a surprise invasion of Russia.  Needless to say, seeing Ukrainian troops come pouring across Russia’s lightly defended border in the Kursk region came as quite a shock to Vladimir Putin and his generals.  The Ukrainians have decided to take things to the next level, and the Russians are beyond angry.  Meanwhile, Israel is bracing for a “large scale” Iranian attack at any time…

EU Threatens Elon: ‘Censor Trump or We’ll Shut Down X’

by Sean Adl-Tabatabai, The Peoples Voice:

The European Union has threatened to shut down X if Elon Musk doesn’t censor Donald Trump in today’s interview.

Watcher.guru reports: An EU digital official wrote to Musk to remind him of his duty to prohibit “harmful content” on X. “With great audience comes greater responsibility,” the bloc’s internal market commissioner Thierry Breton posted in the open letter. Currently, Musk will interview former President Trump live on X Monday at 8 PM ET.

Ukraine and NATO Launch New Provocations

by Harley Schlanger, LaRouche Organization:

The attack on the Kursk region of Russia by Ukrainian forces is being hailed by War Hawks as a possible turning point in the war, one which exposes Russian weaknesses and the importance of resupplying Ukraine with more military aid.  However, it more closely resembles two campaigns by a desperate Hitler’s forces, the Battle of Kursk in July 1943 and the Battle of the Bulge, ending on January 25, 1944, during which it became evident that the allies would soon be victorious.  The positive spin on Ukraine is designed to inspire western countries to continue backing NATO’s proxy war — with devastating consequences for the people of Ukraine.  For a dialogue among military professionals and political activists on ending the proxy war in Ukraine, use the link to watch the dialogue from last Friday’s International Peace Coalition Zoom call, linked here:
