Is the Idea of a V-Shaped Recovery Dead? (w/ Raoul Pal and Ash Bennington)

by

there’s a really big problem and again we can talk all day about covid but the reality is is what does it mean for markets i thought interesting you know i’ve been looking as most people know um i’ve been looking at three phases to this whole event one was the panic phase into march then there was the hope phase which we’re arguably still in now and then there is the insolvency phase which is when the economic reality of a slow economy for at least another year maybe 18 months comes through and companies start defaulting so we’re seeing companies defaulting

Peter Thiel: The Myth of the Enlightenment’s “Social Contract”

by

Peter Thiel talks with Peter Robinson:

and if you go to the anthropological myth of the Enlightenment it’s the myth of the social contract so what happens when everybody is that everybody’s else’s throat what the Enlightenment says is everybody in the middle of the crisis sits down and has a nice legal chat and draws up a social contract and that’s maybe maybe that’s the founding myth the central lie of the Enlightenment if you will and what Girard says something very different must have happened and when everybody’s at everybody’s throat the violence doesn’t just resolve itself and maybe it gets channeled against a a specific scapegoat where the war of all against all becomes a war can of all against one

The Cost of the Evangelical Betrayal

by

White, conservative Christians who set aside the tenets of their faith to support Donald Trump are now left with little to show for it.

Much of the evangelical movement, in aligning itself with Donald Trump, has shown itself to be graceless and joyless, seized by fear, hypocritical, censorious, and filled with grievances. That is not true of all evangelicals, of course, and it’s not true of all evangelicals who are Trump supporters. But it’s true of enough of them, and certainly of the political leadership of the white evangelical movement, to have done deep injury to their public witness.

NATO Chief Admits NATO Expansion Was Key to Russian Invasion of Ukraine

NATO Secretary General at joint committee meeting at the European Parliament, 07 SEP 2023

by Jeffrey D. Sachs

During the disastrous Vietnam War, it was said that the US government treated the public like a mushroom farm: keeping it in the dark and feeding it with manure. The heroic Daniel Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers documenting the unrelenting U.S. government lying about the war in order to protect politicians who would be embarrassed by the truth. A half-century later, during the Ukraine War, the manure is piled even higher.

According to the U.S. government and the ever-obsequious New York Times, the Ukraine war was “unprovoked,” the Times’ favorite adjective to describe the war. Putin, allegedly mistaking himself for Peter the Great, invaded Ukraine to recreate the Russian Empire. Yet last week, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg committed a Washington gaffe, meaning that he accidently blurted out the truth.

In testimony to the European Union Parliament, Stoltenberg made clear that it was America’s relentless push to enlarge NATO to Ukraine that was the real cause of the war and why it continues today. Here are Stoltenberg’s revealing words:

 

We have to remember the background the background was that President Putin declared in the Autumn of 2021 and he actually sent a draft treat that they wanted NATO to sign to promise no more NATO enlargement.

That was what what he sent us and that was that that was a pre condition for not invade uh uh Ukraine.

Of course we didn’t sign that. The opposite happened he wanted us to sign a promise never to enlarge NATO he wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in in all allies that have joined NATO since 1997 meaning half of NATO all the Central and Eastern Europe we should remove NATO from from that part of of our alliance introducing some kind of e and b or second class membership.

We rejected that.

So he went to war to prevent uh NATO more NATO closest borders he has he he has got the exact opposite he has got more NATO presence in the eastern part of the Lions and he has also uh uh seen that Finand has already joined the alliance and Sweden will soon be a full member
