When Mammon Drowns

by

What if the next great flood isn’t water?

What if it’s a collapse of confidence?

For generations we have been taught to trust retirement accounts, stock markets, debt-fueled growth, central banks, and an economic system so large that most people don’t understand how it actually works.

When Cement Meets Jihad: How Lafarge Turned War Into a Business Model

by

From roughly 2012 to 2014, as Syrian Civil War turned northern Syria into a live-fire apocalypse, Lafarge made a calculated decision: stay open, stay profitable, and if that meant paying off armed groups—including ISIS and al-Nusra Front—then so be it. Business is business. Even if your business partners occasionally crucify people for sport. The company didn’t just stumble into this. Courts later described it as an organized system. Money moved. Deals were made. Raw materials, checkpoints, safe passage—all greased with cash. The same way you’d negotiate trucking contracts in Ohio, just with more AK-47s and fewer HR policies.
