🇺🇸💸 Ray Dalio Sees Collapse, But Still Won’t Name the Parasite
“I’m worried about something worse than a recession.”
That’s Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedge fund in the world, warning of an imminent breakdown of the global financial order. But while Dalio sees the storm, he won’t name the parasite. He calls it geopolitical risk and “tariff disruption.” What he won’t say is this: the collapse isn’t an accident, it’s the inevitable result of a financial empire that hollowed out its productive core and called it growth.
Dalio’s fear is real, but the reality is worse. This isn’t a replay of 2008, or 1971. This is the convergence of systemic failure: massive U.S. debt, the unraveling of dollar hegemony, the emergence of multipolar trade, and the reckless deployment of economic weapons by an inept political class. Trump’s tariffs, sold as a way to “bring jobs back” and assert sovereignty, are nothing more than blunt instruments wielded by a rentier elite that offshored the real economy decades ago.
Tariffs, in isolation, aren’t even the problem. It’s how they’re being used, not as part of a coherent industrial policy, but as ad hoc retaliation by a bankrupt empire trying to bluff its way through the endgame of dollar supremacy. The U.S. doesn’t produce anymore. It extracts. It doesn’t invest. It inflates. It doesn’t build. It bombs. Tariffs won’t fix that.
Dalio mentions 1971, the year Nixon severed the dollar from gold, but he doesn’t say why it matters. That was the moment the U.S. abandoned productive discipline in favor of debt imperialism. From then on, it paid for global imports not with goods, but with Treasury IOUs. It forced the world to hold its debt at gunpoint. And now, after fifty years of this racket, the Global Majority is walking away.
This is the end of the petrodollar era, of “exorbitant privilege.” The dollar is still dominant, yes, but it’s increasingly resented, no longer trusted, no longer neutral. And when the reserve currency of the world becomes a weapon, the world finds alternatives. Credit blocs, gold-backed trade, bilateral clearing arrangements, all the architecture of multipolar finance is accelerating.
Dalio warns about “throwing rocks into the machine.” But what machine? The U.S. economy has been deindustrialized by design. Wall Street looted manufacturing and turned labor into debt-serfs. Silicon Valley replaced innovation with behavioral ad targeting. BlackRock turned homes into hedge fund assets. The problem isn’t the method. The problem is the machine was always meant to serve finance, not society.
Dalio says the risk is a loss of confidence in the dollar as a store of value. But it already happened. The U.S. defaulted on gold in ‘71. It defaulted on its industrial base in the ‘90s. It defaulted on the working class when it let medical debt, student loans, and housing collapse under compound interest. And now, under the weight of $37 trillion in debt and the interest payments exceeding defense spending, it’s running out of road.
What Dalio dares not say is this: the U.S. isn’t mismanaging the empire, it’s monetizing the collapse. Every crisis is another transfer. Another bailout. Another war to grease the bond markets. Another round of tariffs to trigger inflation and skim the margins.
Trump’s 10% universal tariff is a panic move. A symbolic flex. The manufacturing won’t come back, because there’s no policy to support it. No public investment. No anti-trust enforcement. And no attempt to de-financialize the economy. Without breaking the power of the FIRE sector, Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, there is no revival, only more theater.
Dalio fears something “worse than a recession.” He’s right to. This is the end of a civilization model. The parasite has drained the host. The system is running on empty. And unless someone breaks the spell, unless we name the parasite and tear it out by the root, America’s future could sadly become a Great Depression without the factories, the gold, or dignity.

Trump has completely dropped any facade of mass deportations. Next step, amnesty. Prepare yourselves for more LEGAL replacement from the Republican party. Ain’t you glad it wasn’t Kamala, though??

The GOP-controlled Senate in Texas just passed a bill to crackdown on anti-Semitic speech in elementary schools. 🤡

Isabel Peralta, a 22-year-old nationalist activist, has been jailed for a year for calling mass migration and 'invasion'. This is an absolutely sickening abuse of power and every European nationalist should be outraged over this.

ZOG desperately wants to recruit White men for their wars. This US Army ad lacks any diversity.

We will celebrate America's central role in ending White world power----but you don't get a day off!
The most patriotic thing you can do to honor America is give your life's blood & sweat for Jewish private equity. Paid time off is a European Nazi socialist concept.

The Israel Lobby group StandWithUs just put out a feature-length film hyping "campus antisemitism" as a five-alarm fire.
The crisis? At GWU, a drunk freshman girl joked to a friend on snapchat about how "we're gonna f-ing bomb Israel, bro!"
The clips I got from the film are beyond parody.
Check out my full thread with more clips on X.

With all the talk from Zionists about how the genocidal actions committed by the Allies in Dresden and Hiroshima/Nagasaki are justified to defend the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza, there was one leader from that era that called out the injustices and atrocities that occurred in Palestine during the 30s and are occurring to this day.
