GREATEST CREDIT BUBBLE IN HUMAN HISTORY.

"Still, the Congressional Budget Office warned in a June report that higher interest rates and the mounting national debt could lead the federal government’s net interest payments to spike to 6.7% of GDP by 2053."
“Such high and rising debt would slow economic growth, push up interest payments to foreign holders of U.S. debt, and pose significant risks to the fiscal and economic outlook; it could also cause lawmakers to feel more constrained in their policy choices,” the report’s authors explained.
Some critics have gone a step further in their warnings about the potential impact of an increasingly indebted U.S. government. Mark Spitznagel, founder of the hedge fund Universa Investments, told Fortune in August that we’re living through the “greatest credit bubble in human history.”
“We’ve never seen anything like this level of total debt and leverage in the system. It’s an experiment,” he said. “But we know that credit bubbles have to pop. We don’t know when, but we know they have to.”

When the President Sounds the Alarm, But the Government Looks Away.

A President's Moral Warning Israeli presidents traditionally avoid political confrontation. Their role is largely ceremonial and symbolic, intended to unify rather than divide. Yet Herzog chose to speak openly about something many observers have documented for years: the erosion of moral restraints. His language was unusually severe. Warning of what he called " a terrible process of brutalization " within Israeli society, Herzog lamented that " there are segments among us that are barely shocked by violence anymore " while " certain other segments treat it lightly." Perhaps most alarming was his warning that extremist conduct is no longer confined to society's fringes. Such behavior, he said, is " threatening to enter the mainstream ." The significance of the speech lies not merely in what was said, but in who said it. When a country's ceremonial head of state feels compelled to warn that brutality is becoming normalized, the ...

Hajo Meyer: Auschwitz, Zionism, and the Courage to Say “Never Again Means Never Again”

Hajo Meyer did not speak from ideology. He spoke from Auschwitz . Born in Germany in 1924, Meyer survived the Nazi machinery of annihilation and emerged with a conviction that would shape the rest of his life: the Holocaust was not a Jewish lesson alone—it was a human one . To betray that universality, he believed, was to betray the dead. Late in life, Meyer became one of the most unsettling voices in Jewish ethical discourse —not because he denied Jewish suffering, but because he refused to let that suffering be weaponized . The Moral Core of The End of Judaism (2005) In his seminal book, The End of Judaism: An Ethical Tradition Betrayed , Meyer argues that Judaism is not defined by land, power, or ethno-nationalism , but by an ethical tradition rooted in justice for the vulnerable. One of his central claims is uncompromising: “ Judaism is not a bloodline or a state . It is an ethical tradition. When that tradition is abandoned , Judaism ends — regardless of who claims ...

Israel’s Assassination of Memory

By Malik Mukhtar | August 25, 2025 There is a cruelty worse than killing people . It is the killing of memory — the deliberate erasure of history, culture , and identity , so that even the dead have no place to rest . This is what Israel is doing to Gaza. Yes, the war is ethnic cleansing. Yes, it is genocide. But it is also something more sinister: the annihilation of a people’s existence in time itself. Gaza City, one of the oldest cities on earth, is being bulldozed into dust. Ancient fortresses, centuries-old mosques, Ottoman harbors, cemeteries of Roman and British soldiers — all are gone. Cafes where friends once argued politics, boarding houses where refugees rebuilt a fragile life, archives where scholars preserved memory — flattened, erased, disappeared. To destroy Gaza is to destroy the evidence that Palestinians were ever here at all. The parallels are not accidental. Chris Hedges reminds us of Warsaw, 1944 — when Nazi General Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski turned ...

De dollarization a nightmare for global power elite.

" First and foremost, the weakening of the U.S. dollar would begin if Saudi Arabia accepted local currencies for oil trade. If Saudi Arabia demands that other countries pay in local currencies only, then demand for the U.S. dollar would dip drastically. The move could lead to the dollar facing a depreciation in the international forex and currency markets . A weak dollar would make imported goods more expensive in the United States and potentially impact the overall U.S. economy. Secondly , other nations will begin to diversify their reserves and accumulate other currencies apart from the U.S. dollar . The development would increase demand for other local currencies and put them in direct competition with the dollar. Central Banks around the world will keep reserves of all currencies and commodities like gold, making the USD dip. Thirdly , and in conclusion, Saudi Arabia might not make such a decision as their currency, the Riyal, is pegged to the U.S. dollar. Therefore, if the ...
