This should surprise no one: The Social Security Trust Fund is expectedto run dry by 2032, at which point benefits will be slashed or taxes increased. Since slashing benefits is political suicide, we can expect Congress to swing into action as the perennial champion of a politically powerful voting bloc.
Like government as such, Social Security is akin to the "Too Big To Fail" mantra that powerful banks have secured for themselves.

Numerous oil tankers at sea are being hit, and not just in the PG. The Black Sea cauldron is burning oil and coming under attack. Saudi Arabia can't get its oil out via land or sea, thanks to two wars and several bad choices. Even the Port of Haijaira, a saving grace of a very odd set of UAE borders, is under the gun and vulnerable. Ukraine, which gets its surveillance, target acquisition, and operational guidance from the NATO, the CIA and MI-6, has stepped up its assault on Russian refineries.

My favorite Zombie flick provides a loose analogy to what happens in our bodies as we age.
Cells become crippled, lose function and become toxic, but don't die.
"They are like the wounded tiger feeding on children in the village."
Zombie cells do nothing but feed off the living.
Inflammation/oxidative stress damages cells, they become senescent zombie cells poisoning the entire body.

It was another horrific week in Washington with President Donald Trump actually succeeding in coming out with an apparently improvised comment that equaled or maybe even exceeded his ghastly performance at the United Nations where he speculated over whether he should "annihilate" Iran and drive it back into the Stone Age.

NATO is the extended arm of the European Union (EU); it is the militarization of the EU bloc.
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is the military protection for globalization.
NATO intends to conceal its true mission, of connecting all at least Western countries, plus the Five Eyes (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK and USA), plus Japan, through a common military strategy and common military equipment.

The multicultural tower of babel collapsed when the fictional narrative of the US Navy escorting millions of barrels of oil daily exiting the Strait of Hormuz could no longer be maintained. This orchestrated hoax in the Western media had kept the future price of oil below the current price at the pump and provided reassurance that things would soon be better.

Why Marxist Organizations Like BLM Seek to Dismantle the "Western Nuclear Family"
Épater le bourgeois (shock the middle classes) has been the revolutionary rallying cry of the left in the cultural war against Judeo-Christian morality and the nuclear family for well over a hundred and fifty years.
It lies at the epicenter of Modernism, Marxism, Fascism, National Socialism, Progressivism, Feminism, Environmentalism, and Homosexualism.

The intersection of the Enlightenment, Freemasonry, Illuminism, and the Religion of Humanity represents a profound shift in European thought during the 18th and 19th centuries.
This era marked a transition from traditional, divine-right Christian orthodoxies toward secularism, reason, and human-centered moral frameworks.
Here is a breakdown of how these four movements connected, interacted, and shaped modern intellectual history.

For the third week in a row, high school students across France are taking to the streets demanding more investment in their education. They want more teachers, smaller classes, decent school buildings and a public education system that works for poor and working-class students.
L'histoire n'est pas lointaine pour les Ukrainiens et les Polonais, dont les désaccords concernant les héros nationaux et la Seconde Guerre mondiale menacent de dégénérer de multiples façons.

Depuis plusieurs mois, les relations entre l'Ukraine et la Pologne - l'un des principaux soutiens de l'Ukraine dans sa guerre contre la Russie - sont inhabituellement tendues.

On ne demande plus seulement aux Palestiniens détenant la nationalité israélienne de prêter un serment d'allégeance à Israël, mais de renier leur propre histoire. C'est exactement ce qu'a fait Sami Abu Shehadeh, candidat palestinien à la Knesset, devant la Cour suprême d'Israël, avant d'être tout de même écarté.
Jeudi 1er octobre, Sami Abu Shehadeh a comparu devant un collège de neuf juges de la Cour suprême d'Israël à Jérusalem pour contester sa disqualification de la liste de la Liste commune en vue des élections israéliennes du 27 octobre.
