Greed is good up to the point that it delivers ruin.
The primary characteristic of this era is the purposeful confusion of profit and greed, as if they are the same thing. Greed is good because profit is good, and profit is good because the profit motive is the engine of Capitalism which is the engine of global prosperity.
The problem with this logic is greed is not the same as profit.

I'm glad I don't have to seek employment these days. Fortunately, my Social Security is augmented well enough by my very modest book royalties, and what I make writing here on Substack and for the American Free Press. I'm not going to be starving. But if I did have to find a job, well...let's just say that many out there are not that lucky.
I'm going to share some information from people I know well personally, along with what I hear from so many who follow my writing.

The new U.S. National Security Strategy says with regards to Ukraine:
The U.S. is pressing forward with that mission. With the help of the Ukrainian anti-corruption vertical (the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), the Specialized Anti-corruption Prosecutor Office (SAPO) and the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) - all created by the U.S. after the 2014 Maidan coup) it has removed Andreij Yermak from his position as the head of the president's office.

European civilization is dying. The Trump administration's new National Security Strategy makes this clear. It has squandered its post-WWII economic and military assistance from the United States by investing in centralized, socialist bureaucracies and expansive welfare States. By chasing the "climate change" con as a means for European governments to justify total control over the drivers of economic growth, European nations have forsaken cheap energy exploration, private entrepreneurship, and technological innovation.

I did not think it would be possible for New York Attorney General, Leticia James, and former FBI Director, James Comey, to be prosecuted. And I was correct that Democrats would protect their agents who tried to destroy President Trump. Republicans are too weak to fight their enemies. Indeed Republicans think their enemies are over there in foreign lands-Russians, Iranians, Chinese, Venezuelans.

After years of lauding the Ukrainian actor, Volodymyr Zelensky as the "Savior of the West," the U.S. media, including the New York Times, is starting to concede what sensible adults have understood since 2021-namely, that he was installed by the gangster oligarchs who have long run the country for their benefit.
Two days ago, the Times published a report Zelensky's Government Sabotaged Oversight, Allowing Corruption to Fester, which focuses on allegations Zelensky et al.

The Guardian has a report out which says that at least 60,000 people were murdered by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) when they captured El Fasher in October, which would be the largest single massacre since Rwanda in 1994. Just in the last few days the RSF have reportedly killed 46 children and scores of adults in suicide drone attacks.

Avant de passer à Medvedev, voyons d'abord le premier commentaire de Dmitri Peskov, porte-parole de la présidence de la fédération de Russie :
Vice-président du Conseil de sécurité de la Fédération de Russie - Dmitri Anatolievitch Medvedev sur son compte VK :
Les Américains tentent de domestiquer une Union européenne complètement démente, pour que la bête enragée se souvienne qui est le patron.

Des archives récemment déclassifiées révèlent que Lee Harvey Oswald, le tueur présumé du président John F. Kennedy, a été surveillé pendant des années par James Angleton, le tristement célèbre chef du contre-espionnage de la CIA, jusqu'à la mort du président. Ces documents récemment rendus publics indiquent qu'Oswald a été radié des listes de surveillance du FBI six semaines avant l'assassinat de Kennedy, alors que sa dangerosité était jugée élevée, sur instruction expresse du service d'Angleton.

Dans le contexte de guerre cognitive dans lequel nous autres Occidentaux baignons depuis une dizaine d'années, l'information est devenue une arme de destruction massive. Ou plutôt : une arme de tromperie massive.
Dans un monde où les journalistes tendent à disparaitre au profit des « créateurs d'information », il n'y a rien d'étonnant à ce que l'information soit désormais créée, formatée, conditionnée et distribuée comme un paquet de jambon artificiel au supermarché.
Il aura fallu plus de 2 ans pour que l'une des fausses informations parmi les plus exploitées par le régime génocidaire et ses multiples relais médiatiques reçoive un démenti officiel en Israël.
En novembre 2023, l'armée et le gouvernement israéliens avaient fait tout un battage sur l'existence, parmi les otages capturés le 7 octobre précédent, d'une jeune femme enceinte, avec toute l'horreur qu'une telle situation était censée impliquer.
