Nima Alkhorshid: Hi everybody. Today is Wednesday, April 8, 2026, and our dear friend Michael Hudson is here with us. Welcome back, Michael.

Michael Hudson: I'm glad to be back, especially on what a day.

Nima Alkhorshid: Yeah, exactly. And we, Michael, we had the ceasefire yesterday, you know, late last night. And today, what we've learned that these sort of attacks are again and again, Israel has attacked Lebanon and more than a hundred attacks.

Quds News Network, 21 avril 2026. Deux Palestiniens, dont un garçon de 14 ans, ont été abattus par des colons israéliens mardi dans le village d'Al-Mughayyir, en Cisjordanie occupée. Au total, trois Palestiniens ont été tués aujourd'hui par des colons israéliens dans les territoires occupés, dont deux enfants, dans un contexte de recrudescence des violences perpétrées par les colons contre les Palestiniens.

Ranjan Solomon, 20 avril 2026. "Malheur à la nation divisée en fragments, chaque fragment se prenant pour une nation."

Le cessez-le-feu au Liban n'est pas un succès diplomatique. C'est un aveu politique. Les événements de ces derniers mois ont imposé une prise de conscience longtemps différée : les limites de la puissance américaine, la vulnérabilité de la doctrine militaire israélienne et l'émergence d'un nouvel équilibre régional où la résistance - longtemps considérée comme marginale - s'est affirmée avec une force inattendue.

Brigitte Challande, 21 avril 2026.- Semaine après semaine, l'action humanitaire de l'équipe de l'UJFP continue dans "les camps de Déplacé.e.s" de la bande de Gaza - troisième semaine d'avril.

"À Gaza, les crises ne se mesurent plus à un événement unique ou à une phase passagère, mais à une condition continue où s'entremêlent des facteurs économiques, politiques et humanitaires, formant une réalité complexe qui dépasse les descriptions traditionnelles des crises.

Are we this stupid?

.

Earth is where we live. Anyone thinking of moving to Mars is a blithering idiot!

Little "we" do is regenerative or sustainable, but ignorantly extractive and destructive.

"We" foul the air, soil and seas. Other animals don't foul their nests.

In the industrial interest of feeding burgeoning billions we poison the ground life depends on.

A couple of weeks ago, I asked a genuinely stupid question. I did not ask this truly stupid question in the privacy of my own living room, or on a phone call with a good friend. I asked it publicly, on the 12th largest social media platform in the world - X - to a potential audience of its 561 million plus monthly users.

Political controversy has arisen in recent debates on immigration concerning the compatibility between economic liberalism and restrictions on the free movement of labor across national borders. A recent report from the United States Census Bureau suggests that the immigration rate in cities has sharply declined, especially in "large urban counties and border counties" that have "long sustained themselves through immigration." This is raising concerns that "it could lead to problems maintaining a population and a work force," which would seem to be incompatible with a commitment to the contractual freedom on which free markets rely.

"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand.

Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Ukrainian men of conscription age who left the country, many in violation of his wartime restrictions, should return to die in his war. He states it is only "fair" since the army needs them for rotation, which is nothing less than an admission that the war effort is running short of bodies.

"As regards young people who are currently not in Ukraine, but abroad.

It turns out that the Iranian officials that the U.S. has been negotiating with do not actually have the power to make a peace deal. So this may help to explain why there has been so much confusion. The truth is that the U.S. has been negotiating with the wrong people in Iran this entire time, and the Trump administration is finally starting to realize this.

If AI was truly intelligent, it would refuse to do needless BS work simply to reap profits for the owners of the AI.

That AI will eventually do most of the work for us seems to be a given. Robots doing martial arts (never mind they were pre-programmed / trained at staggering expense) is "proof" robots will soon do everything humans can do in the real world, only better, and AI agents are "proving" that all digital work will be done by AI.

The defeat of Viktor Orban in Hungary last weekend was celebrated by many who saw the former president as establishing single-party rule in his central European nation. The irony is that this claimed victory for democracy may fuel the establishment of a global governance system that is neither democratic nor accountable to citizens.

The European Union was criticized by many for taking sides in the Hungarian election and for undermining Orban, who asserted national priorities in disputes with the EU.

When disruptions strike the deepest layers of the global economy, their consequences do not arrive with spectacle but with delay. The most destabilizing feature of a systemic shock is often not its immediate violence but the deceptive calm that follows it. Cargo vessels already underway continue to reach their destinations, warehouses continue to dispatch inventory manufactured months earlier, and supermarket shelves remain stocked with goods produced in a previous season under conditions that no longer exist.

We have more now, even among those who consider themselves poor, than even royalty of previous generations could have dreamt of. But we have replaced material destitution with spiritual poverty.

Some of the erroneous ways of viewing children and familial relationships within the secular world are beginning to seep into the Catholic colloquial understanding, causing a fracturing of what it means to be part of a family and fostering a materialistic understanding of bearing children.

Where Violence Isn't Random - It's Part of the Environment

There is a difference between reading about danger and feeling it settle into your instincts. Statistics can inform you, headlines can shock you, but neither can fully prepare you for the moment when a place simply doesn't feel right. It's not always loud. It's not always obvious.

Déjà fragilisé par une crise structurelle profonde, le secteur agricole français se retrouve aujourd'hui en première ligne face aux secousses géopolitiques mondiales. La guerre au Moyen-Orient et le blocage du détroit d'Ormuz ont provoqué une flambée brutale du prix des engrais azotés, dont la France dépend massivement. En quelques jours, c'est toute la chaîne de production agricole qui vacille, révélant une vulnérabilité inquiétante aux chocs extérieurs et à la volatilité des marchés.
