A cityscape in July 2024, characterized by widespread chaos and destruction. Buildings are burning, and the sky is darkened by smoke. Crowds of people, desperate and confused, run through the streets, looting stores and clashing with heavily armed military personnel. The overall atmosphere is one of complete societal breakdown and panic, representing the DOOM of the month.
Prolegomena: In the busiest Month to date for the DOOM Furnace, Yours Truly smelted many DOOM wares (big & small) for my Dear Subscribers’ Displeasures! 😉

July was a month in which a lot of important writing ( & dictating! 😉) was done by Yours Truly, given the rapid pace at which World Events are proceeding:
The month began with a Dictation of Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad’s exquisite essay ‘On Migrating to Lands of Melancholy’ in ‘Eurabian Revival: An Ishmaelite Odyssey.’
It is perhaps one of the Shaykh’s most beautiful essays, which takes a critical look at the Migration issue & expounds upon all the ways in which Muslims, writ large, can be expected to play a much larger role in European religious & civic life in the future.
Afterward, Yours Truly was a guest at Sir
’s Eurosiberia podcast, where Your Friendly, Neighbourhood DOOM Merchant detailed out the ways in which Project Eurabia is proceeding in Europe & the wider West! 😉Sir
wrote a very interesting piece titled ‘Our Man Ahnaf’ in which he makes a plea (time & again) to Christians to take the current predicament they are in seriously, whereby Muslims ( & others! ) are fast gaining power & influence:Particularly, he notes that with the coming World War, turmoil & civil strife, etc., Islam can be expected to play a larger role in Western affairs & ought to thus (correctly) be viewed by members of Christendom as a worthy competitor.
In ‘The Eurabian Polity: Beyond Nationalism,’ Yours Truly dictates an all-time classic from several years ago. Penned by the Eminent Imam Zaid Shakir, ‘Where Islam & Nationalism Collide,’ we examine the clash between Nationaliam & the Khilafa model:
Particularly, Imam Zaid emphasizes that while Muslims accept that nations of people exist, it rejects the fear, anger & victimization necessary to pursue nationhood. Instead, the Justice & Order of the Khilafa is what is presented as an alternative.
Namely, as the ‘World System’ (one could even dub it a Civilization-State a la Professor
& others’ notion of the subject) that is willing, ready & able to cater to the dreams, aspirations, wants & needs of sundry nations & peoples simultaneously.In ‘Future Armies of The Barbarian Dark Age,’ Yours Truly dictates Grandmaster of DOOM
’s excellent essay ‘The Future is Barbarian: The world’s armies will adapt to the new Dark Age.’ It is an amazing ‘look ahead’ to the world, post-DOOM:Namely, a world where Men fight one another to the death on the Nuclear Hellscape, desolated by constant fighting, resource depletion & related catastrophes.
Finally, in ‘Escalation & Prelude to Total War,’ Yours Truly summarizes (in brief) what has happened in West Asia thus far over the past several months or so, & then collates all the relevant info to render a very obvious verdict for the near future:
War is imminent & War is coming. & this so-called ‘Regional War’ will swiftly take on a Global character & it will inevitably cross the Nuclear Threshold when it does so.
Attached below, per usual, are all said toils for the month, Dear Readers & Listeners!

Addendum:
July was EXHAUSTING. 😆
That said, Yours Truly will be very busy in August as well. Sir
and myself are both trying to get some ‘Big Names’ on the show soon, so stay tuned! 😉Moving forward, Dictations / Voiceovers of Past essays will become a Staple of the DOOM Furnace, given growing interest among My Dear Readers ( & Listeners! ) to hear from voices who can better capture the DOOM, gloom & despair of our times!
While Yours Truly am somewhat OK in smelting my own DOOM wares, the truth is that the old adage of ‘If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it!’ applies over here.
So long as a relevant essay exists out there that better captures certain salient features of the DOOM that cometh… Yours Truly will happily dictate it on the Furnace! 😉
As for my own writing, expect something Big to drop in the next week or two! 😉
Yours Truly has been busy with ‘Something Big’ over the past few weeks or so. Those of my more ardent Dear Readers ( & Listeners! ) probably know what it is I am talking about ( courtesy of SubStack Notes 😁), but let’s keep things tight-lipped for now!
Goodbye for Now, & Remember:
The DOOM Cometh…!
