Back when I was in college, more years ago than I'd like to consider, one of my majors was Classical History, and I did quite a lot of original research in that field. Then after I graduated and began my doctoral studies in Theoretical Physics, I took a little time to write up some of that work and published several articles in the leading scholarly journals.

The Cayman Islands is an important jurisdiction to consider in your international diversification game plan.
While many countries around the world offer low taxes, Cayman stands apart because of its distinct history and culture that are vehemently opposed to direct taxation. We believe this makes it far more likely that these policies will endure-something other low-tax jurisdictions cannot necessarily promise.

Italy's decision to stand with Belgium against the confiscation of Russian sovereign assets is not a diplomatic footnote. It is a moment of clarity breaking through the fog of performative morality that has engulfed Brussels.
Strip away the slogans and the truth is unavoidable: the seizure of Russian sovereign reserves will not change the course of the war in Ukraine by a single inch.

For generations, "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" has been treated as a playful reminder to children to be good because someone, somewhere, is watching.
Today, it reads less like a joke and more like a warning.
The Surveillance State is making a naughty list, and we're all on it.
Long before Santa's elves start loading his sleigh with toys for good girls and boys, the government's surveillance apparatus is already at work-logging your movements, monitoring your messages, tracking your purchases, scanning your face, recording your license plate, and feeding it all into algorithmic systems designed to determine whether you belong on a government watchlist.

In a system dominated by Keynesian economics the word "deflation" is considered taboo; like saying Donald Trump's name out loud in a crowded Seattle yoga studio. The screeching reaction you will get is rarely worth the effort of arguing the point. Every element of modern financial policy is designed to prevent a deflationary event.

The New York Times' recent report about his government's responsibility for the worst corruption scandal in Ukraine's history suggests that the walls are closing in and his foreign media allies are jumping ship out of desperation to retain some of their credibility after years of deifying him.
It was earlier assessed that "Ukraine's Anti-Corruption Investigation Is Turning Into A Rolling Coup" after it took down Zelensky's grey cardinal Andrey Yermak, consequently weakened the already shaky alliance keeping him in power, and thus placed more pressure upon him to cede Donbass.

Oliver Webb-Carter wants you to believe that holding the SAS accountable for extra-judicial killings represents a perversion of justice. His recent piece on the Clonoe inquest performs a familiar ideological manoeuvre: present state assassination as reluctant necessity, frame legal scrutiny as persecution, position immunity from prosecution as operational requirement rather than political choice.

Americans have repeatedly been told that the days of sending money to Ukraine are over. Well, that's not true.
The 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which comes with a total sticker price of just over $900 billion, includes $800 million in aid to Ukraine over the next two years. The money continues funding the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which pays American companies to make weapons for Ukraine's military.

The negotiations over the weekend between the U.S., Ukraine and Europe about the parameters of a ceasefire or peace agreement with Russia were surreal. The three sides are fighting each other over detailed points that Russia is sure to reject. They also left out important points which Russia had named as its priority items.
There is no way that any of this will lead to peace.
L'éradication du terrorisme et de l'antisémitisme est la raison supposée pour laquelle des agents de l'ICE en civil ont arrêté la doctorante Rümeysa Öztürk dans une rue de Somerville, dans le Massachusetts, après qu'elle a coécrit une tribune appelant l'université Tufts à se désengager des entreprises ayant des liens avec Israël en raison du massacre et de la famine que le pays impose aux civils palestiniens.

Guerre d'extermination = guerre de l'information. Cacher les crimes de l'occupation, cacher les Palestiniens ou les diaboliser.

L'enquête « Israel Files » révèle l'ingérence d'Israël dans les tribunaux étrangers
L'enquête menée par Mediapart et le réseau European Investigative Collaborations (EIC) révèle que le gouvernement israélien a mis en place des moyens considérables pour garantir l'impunité de ses dirigeants face aux poursuites internationales.

Les pays européens continuent de renforcer leurs mesures autoritaires à l'encontre des dissidents politiques.
Les citoyens et les organisations qui expriment des opinions favorables à la Russie ou critiques à l'égard de l'OTAN et de l'UE sont réduits au silence par des mesures coercitives telles que des sanctions personnelles, des peines d'emprisonnement et des amendes.

Le vice-Premier ministre et ministre italien des Infrastructures, Matteo Salvini, à Rome, le 14 décembre 2025.
Alors que l'UE continue d'intensifier ses sanctions contre la Russie, Matteo Salvini tire la sonnette d'alarme. Il dénonce une stratégie vouée à l'échec qui, selon lui, au lieu d'affaiblir Moscou, a plongé l'Europe dans une profonde crise économique.
Pierre Le Vigan
La crise est en Europe, l'Europe est en crise. Nous l'analysions en 2012. Si les choses se sont aggravées, les origines de la crise économique restent les mêmes : la crise des économies et des sociétés européennes est avant tout une crise de la domination d'une certaine économie, financiarisée. Au détriment des producteurs européens.
