Edgar Allen Poe's, "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether" tells the story of a man who visits a French mental asylum known for its "soothing system" of treatment,. Eventually, the narrator discovers that the patients have overthrown the staff and are now running the asylum themselves. It takes the narrator a while to realize this. He begins to get a weird feeling when he is invited to a "faculty dinner" and perceives the faculty members to be very strange.

I have concluded that there is no government on Earth involved in major events that is based in reality. Let's begin with Israel, Washington, Iran, Russia, China.

Israel's unrealism is the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel-Israel from the Nile in Egypt to Pakistan, the entirety of the Muslim Middle East. This agenda is the driver of the current Israeli-American war against Iran, with Turkey, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia waiting in the wings.

The rush to monetize automation / AI is self-liquidating.

Dependence is easy but crippling. When we're children or advanced in age, we're dependent on adults for our care. This is the normal flow of human life. But when we're dependent as adults, it cripples us, for it removes the pressure to acquire problem-solving skills that strengthen our facility with both processes and results.

The war on white Americans continues apace.

Wayne Allyn Root - businessman and ebullient, unapologetic conservative - wrote something the other day that caught my eye. Over an article about "The Great American National Divorce," his headline blared: "Escape of the White People." Describing the exodus of New Yorkers to Florida and Californians to Nevada, Root noted that interstate migration across America is speeding up.

The rupture between Pope Leo and the Trump Administration threatens to weaken both American diplomacy and the Church's moral voice.

The relationship between the Trump administration and Pope Leo XIV has evolved into a kind of diplomatic cold war, shaped by a steady escalation of public papal denunciations and competing moral narratives in how each side interprets the responsibilities of global leadership.

La guerre contemporaine ne se limite pas à un seul champ de bataille. Elle se déploie simultanément sur de multiples fronts dans le monde musulman élargi — Palestine, Liban, Syrie, Soudan, et désormais Iran.

Il ne s'agit pas de confrontations isolées, mais de théâtres interconnectés dans le cadre d'une lutte géopolitique plus vaste pour le pouvoir, les ressources et l'hégémonie idéologique.

La domanda è: quante volte può un uomo fabbricare il panico, vendere il sollievo, e chiamare tutto questo "negoziato"?

Ore 6:50 del mattino, ora di New York. Il premarket è un deserto. Liquidità sottile, volumi rarefatti, quella quiete piatta che precede l'apertura di Wall Street e in cui anche un ordine modesto può muovere i prezzi. Nessun dato macro in uscita, nessuna headline dai mercati asiatici - che anzi hanno appena chiuso in un bagno di sangue: il Kospi sudcoreano a -6,5%, il Nikkei di Tokyo a -3,5%, l'Hang Seng di Hong Kong a -3,5%.

Iran has managed to contain the aggressor with formidable courage and power.

If diplomacy is to succeed, whether in ending the conflict in Ukraine or in the Persian Gulf, then Washington needs to face up to the root cause of war.

Ultimately, that means the United States recognizing that its imperialist conduct is the cause of conflict. It also means the U.S. rulers coming to terms with the fact that they no longer have any authority or military dominance to assert their illegitimate will over other nations.
