Lindsey Olin Graham is dead.

He served the State of South Carolina in one form or another for 36 years, the last 23 of which were as a United States Senator.

Lindsey Graham postured himself as a man of integrity and honor, a patriot's patriot, who put service to country above all else.

A Christian.

But the reality is he was anything but.

Lindsey Graham was a servant of sin, and his life embodied at its core at least five of the cardinal sins of mankind: pride, greed, wrath, envy, and lust.

Lindsey Graham had an excessive belief in his abilities, and that of the causes he purported to support. Pride is considered the original and most serious sin, leading to a sense of superiority over all others.

Lindsey Graham was a proud man, in the most negative and damnable sense of the word.

Lindsey Graham was a greedy man, in so far as he possessed an insatiable desire for wealth or possessions, often at the expense of others. This was true when it came to the wealth and resources of other nations, which Graham sought to acquire through coercion and violence. Greed leads to unethical behavior and exploitation, concepts which literally defined the causes Graham espoused.

Lindsey Graham was a very greedy man.

The cost of heat: Why Europe's economy is melting

From damaged roads to soaring power prices, scorching summer weather is exacting a heavy economic toll on the EU.

Western Europe has been enduring another record-breaking heat wave, with temperatures topping 40C in several countries. France, the UK, Germany and Switzerland have all seen their hottest June temperatures on record, while the extreme weather has disrupted transport, power generation and industrial output.

The scorching temperatures are burning a multi-billion-euro hole in the EU's already fragile economy. From parched fields to idle factories, the bloc is feeling the heat beyond what thermometers may indicate. Economists, meanwhile, warn that climate-driven heat waves are no longer temporary events but a structural macroeconomic risk.

Productivity is the first casualty

The most immediate economic cost of extreme heat is lost productivity. According to German insurer Allianz Trade, every additional degree between 30C and 35C cuts labor productivity by roughly $1.30 per hour - equivalent to nearly 3% of average hourly output. Construction, agriculture, logistics and other labor-intensive sectors bear the brunt as workers struggle in extreme temperatures.

As another heat wave swept the region, Patrick Martin, head of France's main employers' federation Medef, summed up the impact: "France is working in slow mode."

War on Iran: These are the heritage sites devastated by US and Israeli attacks

From Isfahan to Tehran to Khorramabad, Israeli and American strikes have damaged landmarks, including some inscribed by Unesco.

Iran's history is layered with conquest, cultural renewal and craftsmanship - all of which can be seen in its remarkable heritage sites.

The iconic turquoise domes of Isfahan and the intricate interiors of mosques and palaces across the country are internationally renowned.

Iran's architectural heritage can be divided roughly into two eras. The first is the pre-Islamic period, which included Iranian empires such as the Achaemenids and Sassanids, and the second involves a succession of Islamic empires and states, starting with the Rashidun caliphate and ending with the Qajar state until the early 20th century.

Iran has 29 sites recognised as World Heritage Sites by Unesco - the tenth most sites in the world. But these sites have come under attack over the past two and a half weeks by Israel and the US.

A new 'strategic' plan being pushed by the Israeli settler movement would establish 100 outposts in the heart of Palestinian cities

The Israeli settler movement and its allies in the government have submitted a plan to build 100 new outposts in Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank. The move would effectively eliminate the Oslo Accords.

Israel's annexation project in the West Bank is coming to a head as the Israeli settler movement pushes for a new strategic move that stands to render the 1993 Oslo Accords obsolete and further cut Palestinian population centers off from each other. The project surfaced last week when Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom reported that a coalition of Israeli settler groups announced plans to establish 100 new settler outposts in Areas A and B of the West Bank. These areas were created by the Accords, and together they make up about 40% of the West Bank, theoretically falling under the partial control of the Palestinian Authority (PA).

Until recently, the establishment of Israeli settlements and settler outposts in Area A — supposedly under full PA control and making up 18% of the West Bank — was considered inconceivable. Area B, comprising 22% of the territory and falling under joint PA-Israeli administration, has also rarely seen settlement construction. The remaining 60% of the West Bank, Area C, is where the majority of Israel's settlement enterprise has taken place.

But this new project stands to change the status quo arrangement that has lasted for over 30 years.

Comment: Israel's war with Iran has taken attention away from illegal settler developments...conditions to its advantage.

Malian officials say France is supporting Al-Qaeda groups to destabilize its former colonies in Africa's Sahel region.

Malian authorities announced on 9 July that militant groups with links to Al-Qaeda carrying out terror attacks in the country were trained and armed by Ukrainian specialists.

Fousseynou Ouattara, Vice President of the Defense Commission of Mali's Transitional Council, said authorities identified militants who received training in Ukraine to carry out operations using kamikaze drones produced by Kiev.

"These young people are known, we have now added them to our lists, and we have their names," Ouattara said.

The militants fighting the Malian government belong to a Tuareg-led separatist group, the Azawad Liberation Front (ALF), and Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen (JNIM), an extremist group linked to Al-Qaeda.

The Zionist plan for a concentration camp in Gaza

Israel moves to intern 600,000 Palestinians in the "most moral concentration camp in the world."

Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chełmno. These should be destinations Israeli Jews remember and abhor, and yet we are told, by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz (PDF), that a concentration camp in the works on the ethnic cleansed ruin of Rafah is somehow not only moral, but the most moral concentration camp in the world.


Comment: The article by Haaretz is actually mocking the government of Israel's claims of being moral.



Comment: Gaza has arguably been something of a concentration camp for a very long time. But not unlike the world's resistance to Nazi Germany, Israel will eventually pay a very steep price for it's wholesale malevolence.

"F**k the USA": Professor delights Chicago crowd with anti-American and anti-border rant

I have previously written about the "radical chic" in higher education of faculty members who espouse extremist views in departments purged of conservative, libertarian, or moderate voices. While it is virtually impossible to get departments to seriously consider a mainstream conservative or libertarian, schools like Princeton eagerly hire professors such as Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, who recently delighted a Chicago audience with an unhinged rant against the United States and the concept of a nation-state.

Bill Ayers and Princeton's Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor appeared at a July 4th event and denounced the country and its anniversary.

Taylor thrilled the crowd by recounting her disgust that a woman gave her child an American flag at the airport. She credited herself by not instantly burning it, but went on to denounce the country and credited the audience for its "F**k the U.S." attitude.

Gone are the days of university freshmen reading classical philosophers like Plato or contemporary pedagogues like Ta-Nehisi Coates. These days, incoming college students are lucky if they can get through Judy Blume's "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing."

According to a new "Survey of Adult Skills" conducted by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development — a forum for 38 high-income, predominantly Western countries — a not insignificant number of adult students enrolled in higher education are now reading and doing math at a level which, in a more functional society, would be alarming for a middle schooler.

The survey, first spotted by the Economist, tested around 160,000 people of all ages, across all 38 member states. It found that across all OECD member countries, a full 8 percent of college students are reading at the level of a ten-year-old, if not worse. While countries like Germany and France rang in at under 5 percent, countries like Poland, Israel, and the United States blew the curve at 21, 20, and 14 percent, respectively.

The 800-lb gorilla: George Soros angers Hamptons residents after massive land grab

The Soros family has purchased 18 plots of land on Shelter Island, a Hamptons community, angering residents who are concerned that the billionaire's presence in the area will trigger rising costs

George Soros has long used his billions to influence politics, but now his family appears to be using that wealth to reshape its own backyard through a massive land grab in the Hamptons.

The Soros family has purchased 18 plots of land on Shelter Island, a Hamptons community, angering residents who are concerned that the billionaire's presence in the area will trigger rising costs.

Soros's shopping spree, reported by the New York Post on July 2, makes him and his sons, Alex and Gregory Soros, the largest private landowners on the approximately 8,000-acre island.

Comment: More from the NY Post story:
[...]

In addition to the Soros family, real estate developer Stefan Sovoliev recently purchased some of the key businesses on the island, including the historic Chequit Hotel and the Shelter Island Heights Pharmacy, then angering locals by promptly shutting down its prescription service — the only one on the island.

[...]

"I've seen Montauk turn on a dime, I've seen Sag Harbor turn on a dime," longtime resident Mike Gaynor told this week's Shelter Island Town Board meeting, referring to Hamptons enclaves that have become unaffordable for locals once the ultra-rich moved in and begin buying up properties. "And in a short period of time, no one is going to afford to live here anymore."

Shelter Island is approximately 8,000 acres in total. However, a quarter of the land on the island comprises a 2,064-acre Nature Conservancy. With 120 acres, the Soroses control only two percent of the available land, but it is integral real estate. The next largest private landowner Westmoreland Farm, which owns 65.4 acres, public records show.

[...]

One local said they built "dormitory housing" for staff on Bowditch Road. "Now, all the homes around this ugly staff housing dormitory monstrosity cannot sell," the local said. "They do whatever they want."

The family began accumulating property after Susan Weber, Soros' second wife, who he divorced in 2005, bought her sprawling five-bedroom water-front property in the island's exclusive Dering Harbor neighborhood in 2013 for nearly $6 million. The home was the site of a lavish wedding rehearsal dinner for Alex Soros' marriage to former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin last year.

"They crippled the island with their son's wedding to Huma," said longtime island resident who lives nearby. "Roads blocked off, helicopters flying the Clintons in. Absurd security and disruption here."

The actual wedding took place a short distance away in Watermill, another Hamptons enclave where Alex Soros owns a home.
