Just as nobody foresaw the Cultural Revolution, few if any foresee the emergence of the American equivalent.

China's Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) is interesting on multiple levels. The conventional narrative holds that it was the result of a power struggle between Mao and competing elements in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as Mao launched a chaotic cleansing of the Party's leadership that soon devolved into widespread disorder that consumed much and yielded little of lasting value.

Yesterday Mark Carney, a former central banker and now Prime Minister of Canada, gave a remarkable speech (video, transcript) at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

It is an attack on the 'international rules-based order', the concept that the imperial Western nations have promoted and used to justify their myriad deviations from, and abuses of international law:

The world is changing very quickly. The year 2026 is expected to be marked by the return of spheres of influence and the end of colonial empires. Above all, it will see the return of international law to the rules we have known until now. Only those who are able to understand these developments and adapt to them quickly will continue to thrive.

Very few Americans are aware of the truth behind the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the United States' celebrated civil rights icon. They know that the U.S. government honored him with a federal holiday, but not of the evidence that the U.S. government killed him.

Few books have been written about it, unlike other significant assassinations, especially JFK's murder.

For the first time in a generation, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has rewritten its official position on whether vaccines can cause autism.

This is a change that could reshape one of the most politically charged and emotionally fraught debates in modern medicine.

In a website update published on 19 November 2025, the agency now states that the long-standing claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is "not an evidence-based claim" because scientific studies "have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism."

According to- abcnews.go.com: Beyond the banking world, a parallel universe of shadow banks has grown in the form of hedge funds and money market funds. They're outside the reach of conventional financial regulation, prompting authorities to plan introducing new rules to prevent the obscure sector from triggering a new financial crisis. But in doing so they risk drying up an important source of funding to banks and firms.

A dieci anni dal colpo di stato tentato dall'Occidente per porre fine al governo di Recep Tayyip Erdogan, poi raccontato dai media al servizio della NATO come una burletta inscenata per reprimere le opposizioni, la Turchia è assurta a potenza regionale di primo piano, con un'economia diversificata e in ascesa.

Il colpo di stato del luglio 2016 non è stato una casualità, ma un ragionato tentativo di Barack Obama e Hillary Clinton di disarcionare un ex alleato che aveva cambiato posizionamento internazionale.

La CIA ment-elle éhontément sur l'Ukraine & la Rus

sie pour troller Sy Hersh ?

Par Larry Johnson, le 21 janvier 2026

Le dernier article de Sy Hersh diffusé sur Substack est ahurissant, car il est truffé de faux renseignements et de propagande. Je connais Sy depuis 45 ans et il compte parmi mes amis les plus chers. Son dernier article est une abomination qui, selon moi, ternit son héritage.

Dans une référence précise aux dirigeants chinois par leur nom, l'agence de presse d'État russe Tass a pris note des critiques de Pékin sur l'agression américaine contre le Venezuela. Sans surprise, Tass a cité une tierce partie, Karin Kneissl, ancienne ministre autrichienne des Affaires étrangères et actuelle directrice du centre G.O.R.K.I.

Les premiers signes montrant que le peuple ukrainien change d'attitude à l'égard de la guerre apparaissent.

Dans le post « l'hiver frappe Kiev », j'avais exploré comment les frappes russes contre les infrastructures en Ukraine changeraient l'humeur de la population :

La nuit dernière, une autre vague de frappes de missiles et de drones a touché les infrastructures électriques et de chauffage à Kiev et dans d'autres villes ukrainiennes.

Les militaires canadiens planchent sur un scénario de guérilla en cas d'invasion de la part des États-Unis, en utilisant des méthodes partisanes similaires à celles employées par les moudjahidines afghans. Le signal de cette invasion pourrait être une déclaration de Washington mettant fin au partenariat. Par la suite, les troupes américaines recevraient présumément l'ordre de s'emparer du Canada.
