Les ambitions territoriales de Rabat alimentent son ressentiment à l'égard de Madrid au sujet du Sahara occidental, tout en s'inscrivant dans la lignée de l'hostilité des États-Unis et d'Israël envers l'Espagne en raison de sa position sur Gaza.

Joseph Massad, 31 août 2026. - La récente vague de dizaines de milliers de réfugiés économiques marocains et d'autres pays africains tentant de rejoindre la colonie de peuplement espagnole de Ceuta a relancé les revendications marocaines pour que l'Espagne restitue au Maroc Ceuta et Melilla (connues en arabe sous les noms de Sabtah et Maliliah).

Dpt des Relations Internationales et de la Coopération, République d'Afrique du Sud, 28 août 2026.- La Cour internationale de Justice (CIJ) a rendu trois ordonnances juridiquement contraignantes prescrivant des mesures conservatoires à l'encontre d'Israël, visant à protéger les droits du peuple palestinien en vertu de la Convention sur le génocide.

La CIJ a conclu qu'il existe un risque réel et imminent de préjudice irréparable porté aux droits des Palestiniens de Gaza à être protégés contre le génocide.

Albert Einstein is credited with saying, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Whether he actually said it or not, the definition stands.

This definition also very well describes the Trump Administration's war with Iran. According to media reports, President Trump was cajoled by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that this would be an "easy war," like Venezuela.

Flock cameras, and the online surveillance network behind them, offer many ways for law enforcement officials, and other government bureaucrats, to abuse their access to information about the personal lives of the taxpayers.

For example, a Kentucky police officer has been caught using the surveillance network to stalk women. Another officer in Massachusetts has been accused of using Flock camerasto track her ex-girlfriend.

Founded more than a century ago in the immediate aftermath of the First World War, the New York City based Council for Foreign Relations (CFR) ranks as our oldest and most mainstream foreign policy organization, generally reflecting the consensus views of our DC establishment.

In my article last week, I noted that its equally venerable flagship publication Foreign Affairs had just published a major 5,000 word article by a prominent Middle East academic named Marc Lynch, apparently deemed so important that it was placed beyond the usual paywall.

Through the instigation of a particular LRC reader I have written articles on French medicine and Italian libertarianism, The Conscience of French Medicine and A Rare Breed, respectively. Through the same intermediary I spoke with Maurice Blouin about the upcoming elections in Quebec. Blouin comes from an old Québecois family, his ancestors arrived from France in the middle of the 17th century.

Despite President Donald Trump's announcement on Friday of an oil deal with Venezuela, oil prices rose on Monday. That's because 65 billion barrels of potential future oil do not move markets the way a shooting war does over a strategic waterway that once carried 20 million barrels a day. Moreover, even in the best of circumstances, this agreement won't lower gas prices this year, according to experts.

What if Hitler had won the war?

That's the question that Pat Buchanan never explicitly asks in his book Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War, but it's also the question for which the author provides a thought-provoking answer. Here's what Buchanan says on page 301:

Had Britain never given (Poland) the war guarantee, the Soviet Union wou

The Trump administration's crusade to crush campus criticism took another wallop on Friday in a California courtroom. Federal judge Noël Wise ruled that the Trump administration's "ideological-deportation policy" brazenly violated the US Constitution.

The Stanford Daily-one of the best-known college student newspapers in the nation-sued the Trump administration for changing its "immigration policy and pattern of enforcement, namely by arresting, detaining, and deporting students with F-1 visas when those students use their freedom of speech to express opinions that the government does not like." It asserted that the Trump administration's "actions have specifically impacted Stanford Daily by decreasing the quantity and diversity of opinion pieces The Stanford Daily is able to publish on the conflict between Israel and Palestine." Foreign students who had written on the issue requested that their previous articles be deleted, and other foreign students were no longer willing to comment on hot issues.

Europe seeks strategic autonomy due to a lack of confidence in the American security umbrella.

Diverging interests between the US and Europe are becoming increasingly apparent.

One sign of these tensions is Europe's loss of priority status within US strategic affairs. European partners now appear to be far down Washington's list of major concerns, prompting them to seek autonomous remilitarization as an alternative. 

And It Might Cost Us Our Country.

Analysis by ChatGPT AI concludes the top levels of the U.S. Government are "profoundly corrupt."

31 August 2026, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

Today, I had this conversation with ChatGPT:

-

"IS THERE ANY RELIABLE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE MEASURE OF THE AMOUNT OF GOVERNMENTAL CORRUPTNESS IN U.S., OR RUSSIA, OR CHINA, OR INDIA, OR GERMANY (OR EU)?"

-

Yes. There are several serious publicly available attempts to measure governmental corruption internationally, but there is an important qualification: there is no direct, objective measure of the total amount of corruption in a government.

Most people carry a mental image of collapse that looks like a movie scene. Tanks rolling through streets. Banks locking their doors overnight. Crowds panicking in front of empty stores. These dramatic moments do happen, but they're usually the endpoint of a much longer process, not the beginning. By the time things get visibly chaotic, the foundations have already shifted in ways that are harder to see but easier to prepare for.

À la fin du XVIIIe siècle, les artisans écossais se trouvaient dans une situation où ils avaient été autorisés à déterminer eux-mêmes leurs horaires de travail. Connue sous le nom de « commission », cette évolution avait permis aux forgerons, charrons, tisserands et cordonniers d'organiser leur journée de travail de manière à disposer de suffisamment de temps libre pour se consacrer à leur instruction.
