“The man who discovered the real Hitler was Dietrich Eckart. We find his presence at every important point in Hitler’s career until Eckart’s death in the last days of 1923. Eckart literally made Hitler. And he was closely related with the Thule Society, with the powerful Germanenorden. In the political field their actions were everywhere a matter of secrecy and covert plotting, always of power politics and sometimes of murder."
Georges Van Vrekhem, Hitler and His God, 2012
“Men lost faith in the state not because Christianity held them aloof, but because the state defended wealth against poverty, fought to capture slaves, taxed toil to support luxury, and failed to protect its people from famine, pestilence, invasion, and destitution. Rome was not destroyed by Christianity, any more than by barbarian invasion; it was an empty shell when Christianity rose to influence and invasion came. A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within.”
Will Durant, Caesar and Christ, 1944
"The genius of American power is expressed in the movie The Godfather II, where, like Hyman Roth, the United States has always made money for its partners. America has not turned countries in which it intervened into deserts; it enriched them."
Robert Kagan, American neo-con and husband of Victoria Nuland, July 17, 2003
"Come, I will show you the judgement on the great whore who reaches across many waters. The kings of the earth have given themselves over to her in lust, and have become drunk with the wine of her idolatry."
Revelation 17:1-2
The Fed did nothing with interest rates, as expected by most.
I think they are unlikely to do anything this year, except if the US economy starts collapsing as it did under Covid.
Gold was hit hard, as is customary for an FOMC day, especially one followed by a triple witch option expiration the day after a market holiday.
VIX remains complacent, in the face of an escalating war.
US markets will be closed tomorrow for a Federal holiday.
Need little, want less, love more. For those who abide in love, abide in God, and God in them.
Have a pleasant evening. See you on Friday.
