DOW JONES TOP HEAVY AT 25.101 // Former US Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul: “The Soviet Union fell, the American empire will fall too'! America’s reckless debt and military spending will eventually cause the system to crash!
Former US Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul: “The Soviet Union fell, the American empire will fall too'! America’s reckless debt and military spending will eventually cause the system to crash!
While Donald Trump touts his success in securing financial stability, America’s reckless debt and military spending will eventually cause the system to crash and burn like the final days of the Soviet Union, Ron Paul has warned.
President Trump has long boasted about bringing his business acumen to his role in leading the United States of America, but even he cannot stop an impending economic meltdown, according to former Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul.
“The way I see it is in economic terms,” Paul said. “My understanding is that it wasn’t our military build-up in the United States that brought the Soviet system down. What happened was the Soviets were working with a system that we – people in free markets – saw as totally unviable.”
“We’re gonna have a sudden, cataclysmic end which is sort of what happened to the Soviet system. It’s not going to be identical, there was a succession movement and some of those countries left the Soviet system. Our states probably aren’t going to break up, but I do sincerely believe that we will no longer be able to afford our empire around the world.
Our empire, although we don’t claim ownership to it, it’s a lot of money and a lot of influence, and we threaten with weapons and we use sanctions to hold our empire together, but I think that’s coming to an end.”
Ron Paul served in the US House of Representatives in from 1976 to 1977, from 1979 to 1985 and from 1997 until 2013. He ran for President in 1988, 2008 and 2012. His outspoken position against any legislation that would violate the Constitution earned him the nickname "Dr. No."

Intel and Its Partners have Made Significant Progress in Deploying Updates as Software Patches and Firmware Updates
Intel has developed and is rapidly issuing updates for all types of Intel-based computer systems -- including personal computers and servers -- that render those systems immune from both exploits (referred to as “Spectre” and “Meltdown”) reported by Google Project Zero. Intel and its partners have made significant progress in deploying updates as both software patches and firmware updates.
Intel has already issued updates for the majority of processor products introduced within the past five years. By the end of next week, Intel expects to have issued updates for more than 90 percent of processor products introduced within the past five years. In addition, many operating system vendors, public cloud service providers, device manufacturers and others have indicated that they have already updated their products and services.
Intel continues to believe that the performance impact of these updates is highly workload-dependent and, for the average computer user, should not be significant and will be mitigated over time. While on some discrete workloads the performance impact from the software updates may initially be higher, additional post-deployment identification, testing and improvement of the software updates should mitigate that impact.
System updates are made available by system manufacturers, operating system providers and others.
Intel will continue to work with its partners and others to address these issues, and Intel appreciates their support and assistance. Intel encourages computer users worldwide to utilize the automatic update functions of their operating systems and other computer software to ensure their systems are up-to-date.
