🇸🇾🇩🇪 4 Syrian migrants molested 9 German underage girls at a public pool in Gelnhausen, Hesse, last Sunday.

The mayor of Gelnhausen, Christian Litzinger, rather than come to the defense of the young girls, took the side of the migrants and excused their behaviour as the result of the "hot temperatures" during that day which "led their tempers to flare up".

In 2024 the German police in the city of Cologne/Köln released a poster warning against the danger of swimming pool gropers depicting a brown/Middle Eastern woman being groped by a White/German male, in response to other groping incidents.

📝: The ruling German elites think incidents like the one in Gelnhausen are fine and they think its funny to gaslight everyone with posters claiming that the groping is done by native Europeans instead of non-European foreigners

🇺🇸 US existing home sales fell -0.75% YoY in May, to a 4.03 million annual rate, the weakest May since 2009.

This was also the second-worst May on record and the 4th consecutive monthly YoY decline.

This comes as persistently high mortgage rates continue to hit housing demand.

Meanwhile, the median home sales prices rose +1.3% YoY last month, to $422,800, the highest for any May on record.

Prices have now risen 51% since the beginning of the 2020 pandemic.

Housing affordability is somehow still getting worse.

🇪🇺🇮🇹🌐 EU's "grand rearmament" plan: passing off infrastructure projects as "defense related" in order to meet the new 5% of GDP defense spending goal.

Presented a few months ago by Ursula von der Leyen as the EU's initiative to secure "independence" from American military protection, the EU's plan to "spend" 800 billion EURs on building up the European defense industry and its armies, will actually be used to fund all sorts of unrelated projects.

The European Commission will claim "success" a few years from now after the funds will have dried up but in reality the EU defense industry will be just as it was before or slightly improved.

🇺🇸💰🇮🇱 While Americans argue over rent hikes, groceries, and student loans, Israel has extracted $124 M per day from the U.S. Treasury for an entire year, much of it hidden behind opaque appropriations and congressional loopholes.

According to Brown University’s Costs of War project, Washington has shouldered 70% of Israel’s military costs since Oct 7, 2023. That includes $17.9 B in direct aid, $4.86 B in Pentagon regional ops, $20.3 B in deferred arms deals, and billions more in shipping losses, stockpile transfers, and corporate handouts.

Since 1948 the United States has pumped $317 B into Israel, including $251.2 B in military aid since 1959; that torrent began with the first Pentagon loan in 1959, switched to grants in 1974, became 100% grants in 1985, and now flows automatically as a $3.8 B lump-sum every Oct 1 plus a $500 M missile-defense kicker under the 2019-2028 MOU, money on which Israel pockets the interest because Washington lets it sit in a Fed account. Even so, FY-2024 set a new single-year record: $17.9 B, dwarfing the 1973 and 1978 surges and landing entirely on U.S. taxpayers.

That FY-2024 fire-hose breaks down as $6.8 B Foreign Military Financing, $4.5 B for Iron Dome and David’s Sling reloads, $1.2 B for the Iron Beam laser, $1 B to crank out more 155 mm shells in U.S. factories, and $4.4 B to refill Pentagon stockpiles stripped for Israeli use, again, $17.9 B in 11 months. The administration also slid at least 100 separate weapons deals under congressional reporting thresholds to keep the true cost opaque.

On 8-13-2024 Washington promised another $20.3 B: 50 F-15EX fighters priced at $18.8 B for delivery in 2029, 32 000 120 mm tank rounds at $774 M, $583 M in tactical vehicles, 30 AMRAAMs at $102 M, and 50 000 mortar bombs at $61 M, all deferred to future U.S. budgets via Israel’s “cash-flow” privilege.

Meanwhile the money flows back to the usual corporate feeders. 60 % of the $14 B April supplemental, $8.4 B, went straight to U.S. arms firms. Boeing’s defense arm booked $8 B in Q4-2023 orders, 36 % of its annual revenue. The Financial Times projects $52 B in free cash flow for the top-15 defense contractors in 2026, $26 B pocketed by the U.S. “big five,” cash they historically plow into buybacks and dividends. Israel still may divert 25 % of each yearly grant, $950 M this cycle, to its own industry before that carve-out expires in 2028.

Add it up and the past 12 months have drained $17.9 B in direct aid, $20.3 B in new contractual obligations, $4.86 B (and climbing) in Pentagon regional costs, and $2.1 B in trade losses, a $45.16 B extraction. That works out to $124 M every day, $1.5 M every hour, funneled from American households to a foreign military and a handful of weapons conglomerates that treat the U.S. Treasury like an open vein.
