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:

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.

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.

Israël serait intervenu avec un appui aérien massif pour secourir ses soldats encerclés, tuant au moins trois personnes dont deux enfants.

Une unité israélienne a été détectée dans la ville de Gaza le 1er septembre, déclenchant des affrontements majeurs et la mort de plusieurs civils palestiniens alors que Tel-Aviv menait des frappes aériennes intensives sur le quartier de Katiba, selon de nombreux rapports et témoignages.

Israël cherche à acculer la Turquie sous la menace militaire. Mais il n'y parviendra pas.

Le "Bouclier d'Achille" (Ασπίδα του Αχιλλέα) est le nom donné par la Grèce à un système de défense nationale à plusieurs niveaux, fruit d'un accord signé à Tel-Aviv le 31 août 2026. Il s'agit d'un système de défense aérienne, antimissile et anti-drones de fabrication israélienne, d'un coût d'environ 3,5 milliards de dollars, qui représente l'une des plus importantes exportations de matériel de défense jamais réalisées par Israël.

Des Mau Mau et du FLN à la qualification de "Palestine Action", comment les puissances occidentales ont recours à l'étiquette de "terrorisme" pour criminaliser la résistance alors que la violence coloniale échappe à toute condamnation.

La première fois que j'ai compris ce que signifie le "terrorisme" palestinien pour le reste du monde, j'ai vu mourir un enfant palestinien.

Une loi qui ne fait pas l'unanimité vient d'être promulguée ce lundi 10 août 2026, aux États-Unis par Maura Healey (photo) qui s'est distinguée en étant élue "gouverneure" d'un État emblématique des États-Unis, le Massachussetts, emblématique car les côtes de cet État ont accueilli en 1620 les premiers "Américains" qui, venant d'Angleterre, ont débarqué du mythique Mayflower.
