The environmental movement used to be about protecting nature: clean rivers, clean air, fewer toxic chemicals and less destruction of the countryside. Now, apparently, we are going to save nature by digging up enormous quantities of it.
The "green transition" requires an enormous expansion of mines, mineral-processing plants, battery factories, transmission lines, solar farms, wind farms and an extraordinary amount of industrial machinery.

Donald Trump does not want to kill millions of Iranian civilians. But Trump has a gun to his head and time is running out. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is getting dangerously low, long-term interest rates are edging up, and a global oil shock is just around the corner. What is Trump going to do?
For all practical purposes, the war is lost.

Always and everywhere, political institutions are controlled by elites. It doesn't matter if the regime type is democratic or monarchical. It doesn't matter if there is a written constitution or not. All political institutions-and certainly every sovereign state-are run by a group of elites who control the means of coercion.The myth of "rule by the people" is precisely that: a myth.

When Trump recently declared the shift in his war against Iran from military to economic sanctions, I thought he had found his exit strategy. But no sooner were the words out of his mouth than Netanyahu had him again bombing Iran at the cost of American lives and military bases.
It seems certain that Netanyahu is not going to release Trump from his assigned role as the enforcer of Greater Israel.

This fight over the future of Ukraine is intensifying.
Not only on the frontline, or between local power centers in Kiev, but also between the security services of the Anglo-American 'allies'.
On Wednesday Kiev experienced a gun fight between units of the main (military) intelligence service GRU and forces of the internal security service (SBU) of Ukraine.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave an interview during the G20 gathering in Asheville, North Carolina, in which he calmly diagnosed Canada's self-inflicted problems: "We've had a 'free rider' problem with Canada," he observed.
"Canada had a great military. They were right there at the forefront on the beaches of D-Day, and what the Canadian government has done to the Canadian Armed Forces, if you look at the ranks of NATO spending, they are near the very bottom, like they're cellar dwellers around with Spain in terms of their military spending to GDP." Instead of investing in its military and national security, Canada spent that money on "global warming" fantasies and welfare goodies while taking advantage of America's "free" security services.
To stop data centers from ruining communities, they must be displaced by something cheaper-and for once, cheaper is not only better, but the money also exists to build it and the green energy it needs

Much of what is written here is guided by the fact I spend a lot of time thinking about the problems the world faces and what solutions could potentially address them, either now or in the future when cultural circumstances change.

If you study the criminal mind for as long as I have (since 2003) you become adept at recognizing when individuals and groups are committing acts of fraud. And no one is more given to committing spectacular acts of fraud than virtue-signaling people who feign concern for the welfare of humanity.
Philanthropic virtue-signaling-that is, extravagantly feigning to care about humanity-is a favored tactic of ravening wolves in sheep's clothing.

Have you ever watched cars in motion and thought the wheel spokes were rotating backwards ? It's the stroboscopic effect that occurs when we sample reality at an inappropriate frequency, making the unreal appear absolutely real. Similarly, an illusion of self motion can make us feel like we are moving when we are not, and not moving when we are.
Most economists sort and sample data to produce explanations and sometimes projections.

Une récente étude de l'INSEE a mis en lumière la forte contraction de l'emploi dans la filière automobile française, tant chez les constructeurs que chez les équipementiers. Cette dynamique négative n'a rien d'inédit : depuis plusieurs années, rapports et analyses se succèdent pour souligner la fragilité du secteur et les menaces qui pèsent sur lui. Or, l'automobile demeure un secteur stratégique pour la souveraineté industrielle française et pour la vitalité de l'ensemble du tissu productif national.

Nei primi mesi della presidenza Kast, il Cile ha accelerato sul terreno neoliberista, securitario e dell'avvicinamento a Washington. Il fenomeno si inserisce in una più ampia svolta conservatrice sudamericana, della quale l'Argentina di Milei costituisce il precedente più evidente.
A poco più di cinque mesi dall'insediamento di José Antonio Kast alla presidenza del Cile, avvenuto lo scorso 11 marzo, la direzione intrapresa dal nuovo governo appare ormai sufficientemente definita per andare oltre le previsioni formulate durante la campagna elettorale.
Bien sûr, cela serait également dans l'intérêt d'Israël, car cela prolongerait la guerre au Moyen-Orient et pourrait entraîner les gouvernements européens dans ce conflit.

Alors que le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky arrive à Washington, de nombreux indices laissent penser qu'il ne cherche plus simplement à obtenir un soutien américain accru dans sa guerre contre la Russie.

La guerre commerciale entre Washington et Ottawa est passée d'un simple différend tarifaire à une campagne agressive contre la souveraineté et l'identité canadiennes. Le président américain Donald Trump a récemment signé un décret rebaptisant le lac Ontario "lac America", une mesure qui n'a aucune valeur juridique au Canada mais qui constitue une insulte nationale.

De Belfast à Rome, de Ceuta à Leipzig, le sujet brûlant de la rémigration prend une ampleur inédite considérable auprès des opinions européennes malgré l'occultation sciemment entretenue par le système médiatique d'occupation mentale. Le 31 octobre prochain doit se tenir à Paris une réunion, la troisième après l'Italie à Milan en avril 2025 et à Porto au Portugal en mai 2026, sur ce thème crucial pour l'avenir des Eurochtones.

La politique peut décidément être délicieusement complexe, ne trouvez-vous pas ? À environ un an des prochaines élections législatives en Pologne — normalement prévues en novembre 2027 —, le pays risque de se retrouver dans une impasse politique totale. Sur le papier, la droite semble bien placée pour remplacer en novembre le gouvernement centriste de Donald Tusk.
