The role of the dollar as the principal currency of exchange in world trade grants the United States exorbitant power. This dossier examines the rise of this currency, the mechanisms of its domination, and the structural limits to building an alternative to the dollar.

A great comment that summarizes that which is crapitalism.
"When a society is stuck in a capitalist framework, the traditional division between "conservative" & "liberal" leadership functions primarily as a mechanism of class control rather than a genuine choice. Under the surface-level cultural divisiveness, both parties operate as two arms of the exact same body—maintaining a systemically unequal/oppressive economic system built on colonization, global imperialism, & systemic violence, which historically & inevitably trends toward fascism when challenged. If you peel back the layers of daily political theater, the objective reality becomes undeniably clear: the clashes between the liberal & conservative are often a highly coordinated distraction. We are propagandized to view politics as a pendulum swinging between two opposing teams. Both major parties serve the exact same underlying master: an economic system that requires continuous expansion, exploitation, imperialism & global domination. Whether a government wears a conservative mask or a liberal one, the core institutional actions remain unchanged. Both consistently fund & expand an imperialist foreign policy, using military intervention & economic coercion to control global resources. Both factions support colonization, displacing indigenous populations & exploiting the Global South for example to feed domestic corporate interests. When investigating the financing of these political structures, the exact same corporate donors, defense contractors, & financial institutions funding both sides of the aisle. The rhetoric/propaganda changes, but the system continues its work uninterrupted. The primary function of this binary political system is to divide & distract the masses. By amplifying cultural wars & keeping the public locked in perpetual conflict over secondary issues, the ruling class prevents the working majority from recognizing their shared exploitation. Whenever the inherent contradictions of this capitalist & imperialist system begin to fracture,when financial inequality keeps increasing, resources dwindle, & the working class begins to organize & demand real structural change—the illusion of democratic choice is discarded. Fascism is not a sudden aberration or a political accident; it's the ultimate defence mechanism of an imperiled capitalist state. It merges corporate & state power completely, uses intense nationalism to crush internal dissent, & deploys overt authoritarian violence to protect the existing economic hierarchy."

Who exactly is Robert Kraft?
Hmm, interesting.
Kraft also made the news earlier this year when his name was mentioned in relation to the Epstein files. When Kraft was charged with soliciting prostitution in 2019, he appointed one of Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers to his legal team. The charges were dropped in 2020.

The Most Comprehensive Glyphosate Safety Study Ever Links Weedkiller to Anxiety
The study exposed rats to glyphosate or one of two commercial formulations, Roundup Bioflow and Ranger Pro, continuously across three generations — starting in the womb and continuing for a full year of life. The doses spanned the European Union’s Acceptable Daily Intake, the level regulators consider safe for lifelong human exposure, up to the EU’s No Observed Adverse Effect Level, the highest dose at which no harm was supposed to occur.
By the time the third generation of rats reached one year old, roughly analogous to middle age in a human, the exposed animals were behaving differently. In a standard test of exploratory behavior called the open field test, treated rats — especially males, and especially those exposed to the branded herbicide formulations rather than glyphosate alone — spent more time hugging the walls of the test arena, moved less freely into open space, froze more often, and groomed themselves in a disorganized, fragmented way rather than the smooth head-to-tail sequence typical of an undisturbed rat. Taken together, the researchers say, these are classic markers of heightened anxiety in rodents. Male rats exposed to the commercial formulations also showed modest reductions in hind-limb grip strength, suggesting subtle effects on neuromuscular function. Memory, general motor coordination and overt neurological signs were unaffected.
“Our toxicological findings raise important concerns on the neurobehavioral effects of glyphosate-based herbicides, including autism spectrum disorders, even at doses currently considered “safe””, Dr. Daniele Mandrioli, Principal Investigator of the Global Glyphosate Study and senior author of the manuscript, stated on Tuesday.

Where are all the White Feminists in the West here?
The answer is, it doesn't arouse any passion like the trauma porn that passes for entertainment here in the West.
The arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) for a “leisure trip” in Thailand before returning to its campaign of destruction against the people of West Asia demands immediate interrogation and opposition. For us Thai people, and those in sites of American plunder across the globe, this a rattling of the US’ cold war colonial chains on its most loyal lap dog, while conducting a war of aggression in Iran and the ongoing genocide in Palestine. In allowing the USS Lincoln to dock, the Thai ruling elites are once again facilitating a system of imperial violence that extends far beyond Southeast Asian borders, a system which in our case, is predicated on sexual violence and femicide.
A succinct and horrific summary of the links between crapitalism and the so-called 'world's oldest profession', that only confirms why neither should exist.
And a word of warning, don't trust anyone who equates 'sex' with 'work'.

Something I've realized about time.
Time is really a measure of one's experiences in life.
Oh I don't mean that in any scientific sense, but rather a metaphysical one.
True we as humans measure length of time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, etc. And yes many of actually debated what time really is from a philosophical sense.
But I think of this way - an experience happens from one point in time, to another. In most societies, the 'time' in that sense is the starting and ending points from either duration, or within a chronological set of points (i.e. on December 14th, 2015, from 7-9 AM, someone had a big dump). But the starting and end points, don't describe what happened at all.
The time is really what took place in that experience, how painful it might have been, how relieved one may have felt when it ended.
Anyways, why I am talking shit?
Well, the more I see friends and colleagues both at work, and in the industry being 'obsoleted' by their employers, the more I'm reminded that the measure of time in one's life is truly limited. It's the experiences inside that time that really is one's life. Make the most of your choices.

Never underestimate the power that propaganda has on a society.
Collective ignorance, and an arrogant (borderline psychopathic or delusional) refusal to acknowledge either a reality or responsibility illustrate the power of propaganda.

Dollar System In Crisis: The Real Reason The US Bailed Out Japan
In reference to Japan, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared, “We will do whatever it takes to support them in a way that helps the American economy, the American taxpayer, stabilizes the global economy”.
When Bessent said the “global economy”, he really meant the dollar-based international financial system, which he is dedicated to uphold.
It is worth emphasizing that Bessent is a former hedge fund manager from Wall Street. He worked for years with billionaire oligarch George Soros, specializing in currency speculation. Together they “broke the Bank of England”, shorting the British pound in a trade that made Soros more than $1 billion.
Bessent is part of a class of extremely rich plutocrats. Just how much wealth he has is not clear. He has been widely reported to be a billionaire, although this has been disputed. At the very least, he has hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth.
Regardless, the point is that Bessent has a vested economic interest in propping up the dollar-based financial system that has enriched oligarchs like him. And Japan has helped to maintain this system.

Unilateral sanctions do not resolve anything and instead escalate tensions. All parties should act rationally and avoid taking any measures that could further intensify conflict and impact global economic development and financial stability, Lin Jian, official spokesperson of China’s foreign ministry said, in a press conference on Monday, August 24.
“China will do whatever is necessary to protect its interests” in Iran, Lin said.
US President Donald Trump announced last week the launch of an “economic D-Day” to isolate Iran and force its government to give up its nuclear program and control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has threatened strong secondary sanctions on all countries that would fail to comply with the US sanctions and retain their economic ties with Iran.

Pretty impressive feat for a bank - a market cap of close to a trillion dollars, and still firing people.
A great crapitalist two-fer - yay!
With consumers in solid shape, investors piling into stock market bets, companies calling on investment bankers, and spenders paying up for credit card perks, the firm notched record revenue in its three major divisions last quarter. The market is thrilled: JPMorgan’s stock has hit 17 new all-time highs this year.
The bank is still laying off hundreds of employees.
The country’s largest lender filed six layoff notices with regulators between February and July, impacting 774 employees in Texas, New Jersey, and California.
It’s the highest total since 2015, according to an analysis of public records by WARN Database. That year, JPMorgan’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filings, or WARN notices, showed 1,040 employees laid off as the bank retooled its branch strategy and looked to cut costs. JPMorgan also laid off employees throughout 2025.

‘Utter Devastation’: Lala Turns Hawaiʻi Upside Down, Spares Some
Even as the hurricane settled into a tropical storm, it bore down across the island chain, hitting rural Big Island harder than other areas.
Oh, and how and why?
How Is Climate Change Shaping Tropical Storm Lala?
Warmer ocean temperatures play a role in the strength of storms.
Hurricanes get their energy from convection, or latent heat. “When you go from a high-energy state of vapor to a lower energy state of liquid, you release heat, and that heat is what fuels hurricanes,” she said. “With climate change, you have warmer oceans, and therefore the potential to get stronger storms.”
Three of the five named storms that have made landfall in Hawai‘i over the last 67 years — Hurricane Dot in 1959, Hurricane Iniki in 1992, Tropical Storm Iselle in 2014, Tropical Storm Darby in 2016 and Tropical Storm Olivia in 2018 — have occurred in the last decade. Climate modeling done in 2016 predicted a significant rise in the number of hurricanes near Hawaiʻi in the coming decades.

https://consortiumnews.com/2026/08/11/local-us-cops-adding-ai-drones-to-tech-surveillance/
Wanna see something really fucked up? Check out this small snippet from the article (emphasis mine) -
New Orleans was among the cities that received the FAA waiver for an automated drone-as-first-responder program. Police plan to expand their existing drone program to launch drones in response to 911 calls from the historic French Quarter later this year.
But residents were outraged after activists discovered that the city’s police department had changed internal rules to allow police drones to carry “weapons” with prior approval from the police superintendent, according to Edith Romero, an organizer with Eye on Surveillance. Police claimed the change was only a proposal added to a draft policy, but as Verite News pointed out, the file name for the “draft” document suggests the policy was meant to go into effect on June 21.
“Nobody knew; city council didn’t know, we had to announce it, and we mobilized people to start calling and start demanding that this be rescinded,” Romero told Truthout in an interview.
Police ditched the policy on drones carrying weapons after public outcry. On Aug. 6, the New Orleans City Council voted to require police to publicly publish regular drone flight logs and reports on usage and reasons for deployment. While the new ordinance addresses transparency, it does not place enforceable restrictions on drone use. Romero echoed residents who submitted public comments arguing the ordinance does not go far enough.
“We need to do an investigation of the policy violations that happened last year, and the change in policy that weaponized the drones before we can move toward an expansion,” Romero said, adding that there must be penalties for police who deploy drones for unapproved uses.
Buried underneath all the current and pending climate problems, was this little gem.
Contiguous US breaks its record for hottest month ever, NOAA says
KENSINGTON, Maryland (AP) — The contiguous United States sizzled to its hottest month ever last month, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
July averaged 76.89 degrees Fahrenheit (24.94 degrees Celsius) across the Lower 48 states, eclipsing the Dust Bowl’s July 1936 by an eighth of a degree. Records go back to 1895.
“It’s not good when you’re breaking records from the Dust Bowl, which we are in this case,” said meteorologist Jeff Masters of Yale Climate Connections. “And that was a crazy sort of situation where you put tens of millions of people in motion. You had this great migration because of the drought and the heat that hit the center of the U.S. — just a cataclysmic event in U. S. history. If we’re exceeding records from The Dust Bowl, that says that we’re in deep trouble.”
Although it was unusually cool in Alaska, hotter-than-normal conditions blanketed the Lower 48, with the most excessive heat in the Mountain West, Southwest, Northern Plains and Southeast. The heat was so widespread that every one of the Lower 48 states was at least 1 degree Fahrenheit (nearly 0.6 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 20th century average, said Russ Vose, chief of monitoring at NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Information.

To weapons corporations, 'STEM'=future workers.
Yep, that's all.
As much as these companies attempt to present themselves neutrally as scientific entities, the reality is that their primary businesses revolve around producing the hardware and weaponry that the United States uses to dominate the world.
In the past twelve months alone, the United States has bombed seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. And it is companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin that make this kind of extraordinary planetary violence possible.
For example, on February 28, the United States launched an attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls’ School in Minab, Iran. A Tomahawk cruise missile – one of the most precise guided weapons on the planet – was launched from a nearby warship and pummelled the building, causing the school to collapse in on itself. Soon after, a second missile hit the school’s courtyard, where desperate survivors were gathering.

Here's one dimension of the patriarchy, that Western feminists are rather silent on.
That part involving brown people, on their own land.
How Israel has used sexualized violence as a weapon of settler colonialism from 1948 to today
An extensive new Palestinian Feminist Collective report traces Israeli sexual violence against Palestinians from the 1948 Nakba to Gaza today, showing it isn't incidental abuse but a deliberate tool of ethnic cleansing and control.
Gendered violence is an inherent tool of settler colonialism and is not unique to Israel. Here in the United States, another settler colonial state, the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement has highlighted the impunity surrounding the sexual assault of indigenous women on reservations where overlapping US and native criminal jurisdictions have made indigenous women particularly vulnerable to sexual assault. That it remains a significantly under-resourced and unaddressed crisis is not an accident.
Similarly, Zionist ideology, as a nation-making enterprise, necessitates the dispossession of Palestinian land and, ultimately, Palestinian elimination through juridical negation — denying their right to self determination, forced removal, containment, and/or destruction. Sexual violence is central to that effort as it both advances ethnic cleansing ambitions and shatters the social cohesion of those Palestinians who remain.
Why? Because it's about destroying an entire culture and community of people, and that includes everyone (children, women, and men), and that's a reality that the West is incapable of acknowledging; let alone taking responsibility.
A reminder that the rich and powerful will never really ever stop their destruction of the planet on their own.
They will either have to be stopped by the people of the planet, or they'll be stopped when the planet is no longer inhabitable for said people.
And, it makes me wonder 1) when they'll try again to foil a resistance to their actions and, 2) how long can people remain vigilant and ever alert.
On days like this ...
... I remind myself that in any hierarchical situation, there'll always be those who end up on top. And, often times, it's because they use their knowledge as a weapon, and that the hierarchy allows - or even encourages - them to do so. All of this is in pursuit of profit - not 'growth' as some like to say.
Knowing this, I'm learning to let a lot go in that I try to not take things directed at me personally; even if that's what's intended.
I have too many things in life that 1) Give me joy, and 2) I actively am pursuing. I'm not going to let things that happen in that hierarchy affect me, because I'm choosing to not allow myself to get drawn in further. I only get involved if I have a professional responsibility to do so, and leave it at that.

Who has a 'right to exist, depends a lot on the who.
Especially if that 'who' is actually a 'what', and not actually a sapient person.
Case in point -> https://mondoweiss.net/2026/07/no-israel-does-not-have-a-right-to-exist-quite-the-contrary-actually/
Israel’s record is clear. It was founded on the breach of two peremptory (jus cogens) norms: the right to self-determination of the people of the land, and the rule on the non-acquisition of territory by force, as well as on the two highest crimes in international law: genocide and aggression.
Since then, it has refused the return of refugees and their compensation, and has continuously expanded its unlawful evictions, land theft, and colonization.
The United Nations and every major international human rights organization have concluded that the Israeli regime is guilty of apartheid and racial segregation, unlawful occupation, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
The regime is now on trial for genocide at the ICJ, charges that the Court has found plausible enough to issue a series of preliminary orders (all of which the regime has ignored).
And the same Court has found the regime guilty of unlawful occupation, the forced denial of self-determination, the unlawful acquisition of territory by force, war crimes, apartheid, and racial segregation.
And the International Criminal Court has indicted the regime’s leaders for crimes against humanity.
For the full eighty years of its existence, the Israeli regime has held the distinction of being in breach of the highest number of UN resolutions and ICJ decisions of any country on the planet.
Today, the regime is unlawfully occupying Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, attacking Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, and beyond, and perpetrating genocide in Palestine.
It has carried out assassinations across the region and has admitted to (indeed, bragged about) transnational terrorist attacks with booby-trapped pagers in Lebanon
Judged against the imperatives of international law, Israel is, in the strictest sense of the term, a rogue regime, illegitimate in its founding, and devoid of all legitimacy in its conduct ever since.
To declare that such a regime has a “right to exist” is an affront to generations of its victims, to international law, and to human decency itself. And the threat that it poses extends far beyond Palestine.
The Israeli regime is driven by a deeply racist and fundamentally violent ideology. It is armed with advanced technologies of surveillance and death, holds powerful conventional weaponry, and possesses stockpiles of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.
It has declared policies mandating the mass murder of civilians (the Dahiya Doctrine), the killing of its own citizens (the Hannibal Directive), and the potential nuclear destruction of the world (the Samson Option).
Its spies are active in countries around the globe, and its proxies are actively engaged in corrupting governments and institutions across the West.
Does such a regime have a “right to exist?” No.
In fact, dismantling such a regime and its replacement with a free Palestine with equal rights for all is not only a legal requirement, but also an existential imperative for all of humanity.

I'll be shit on whether I work or not because to them, I'm just a living paycheck who should get it done during regular hours apparently. Never mind that should something happen to me, or my employment, we'd be homeless just like those under the bridge near our house.
But anyways, it's a reminder that I need to go back and finish Part 3.
But not tonight - I still have to work later, and be up tomorrow early to avoid traffic to get to that office to continue working (try saying that 10 times fast).

I wonder if I'll ever get Social Security?
I'm not that far away anymore. Yet this isn't very encouraging.

Why exactly was one man a threat to the US Empire?
Yes he was black.
Yes it was the late 1960's.
But was really going on?

In case you missed it - the so-called "The Anti-Defamation League" was NEVER a civil-rights organization.
Quite the opposite in many respects.
They have always been - at minimum - shills for US Empire.

Reminder - in capitalism, labor and unions are frowned upon by employers.
The reason is simple - unions are the only effective defense against exploitation by employers in capitalism.

Like my late father said, if companies actually knew how to treat people, there's be no need for unions.

This time it'll be a little longer than normal. We'll see how well things go. After all, it does apparently keep me employed.
