The political mood across Europe is beginning to shift, and even governments that have strongly backed Ukraine are discovering that public opinion has its limits. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has reportedly argued that Rome must place the soaring cost of living, particularly energy and fuel bills, ahead of expanding military commitments before next year's elections.

In the fall of 1974, new "language arts" textbooks appeared throughout the school system in Kanawha County, West Virginia. They fostered a new value system, different from traditional morality.
Parents were upset that open-ended questions like "When is it okay to steal?" were suggested as teacher discussion topics in schoolbooks.

In my younger days conservatives and libertarians contrasted government unfavorably with private business. Government consisted of black hat guys and business of white hat guys. If government won, tyranny would be the result. If business won, liberty would stay alive.
Conservatives and libertarians saw power as something that government wanted, but not business.

n my previous article I wrote about the fact that, from the perspective of political science, the evidence shows that the so-called "economic elite" dominate a "biased pluralist" system of governance.
We live in nation states that operate as functional oligarchies.
Hiding behind the anonymity afforded to them by the major investment houses and their think tanks-using the Chatham House rule-oligarchs govern largely unseen.

L'Union européenne a annoncé lundi la levée de quelque 900 millions d'euros censément destinés à la "reconstruction au long cours" de la bande de Gaza.
Cette annonce, baptisée "Team Gaza Initiative", est une mystification et une nouvelle marque de la complicité des dirigeants européens avec le régime génocidaire israélien.

La question qui se pose, est celle de fonder la valeur sur les indicateurs. Il faut en étudier la faisabilité. Cette faisabilité nécessite une motivation. Et cette motivation est d'y trouver une solution, à un problème déjà amplement étayé, qui est l'inanité du capitalisme.
L'effondrement biotopique est inévitable si la production continue à ne rien devoir à personne, et à puiser dans les ressources naturelles et humaines jusqu'à leur épuisement.

Après quinze mois de tensions diplomatiques, le Mali et l'Algérie ont décidé de renouer le dialogue. Les deux pays ont annoncé le 10 juillet dernier le retour de leurs ambassadeurs respectifs et la réouverture de leurs espaces aériens, mettant fin à une crise qui avait profondément détérioré leurs relations. Ce rapprochement est le fruit de plusieurs initiatives de médiation conduites par des dirigeants africains, notamment le Togo et la République du Congo.

13 juillet 2026 - On parle de la mort du célébrissime Sénateur-combattant Lindsay Graham et l'on remet sur ce sujet à nouveau de nombreuses références à Andrew Korybko qui s'y est beaucoup intéressé. Il l'a d'ailleurs fait d'une façon intéressante, en s 'attachant aux réactions obsessionnelles des réseaux sociaux, nombreuses et variées pour ce cas, mais en subissant des attaques ukrainiennes officielles.

Os mesmos burocratas que falam em "guerra com a Rússia" têm medo de um revólver simples.

Na recente cúpula da OTAN, um episódio aparentemente secundário acabou expondo algumas das mais profundas contradições da política militar europeia. Ao presentear chefes de Estado e de governo com revólveres personalizados produzidos pela indústria turca, o presidente Recep Tayyip Erdogan provocou uma reação "inesperada".

Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that a plan by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to announce sweeping troop cuts in Europe had been blocked. Per the WSJ:
The U.S., [Hegseth] planned to say, was preparing additional cuts to its forces in Europe that would go beyond the canceled deployment of an armored brigade to Poland and the earlier withdrawal of an infantry brigade from Romania But Hegseth's proposal was nixed after it was shared with Marco Rubio-President Trump's national-security adviser-and other senior officials.
Lindsey Graham is dead. At least that's one good thing. No matter what else happens today, they can't take that away from us.

The only positive thing about the Iran war heating up again is that Lindsey Graham won't be around to enjoy it.
The bloodthirsty South Carolina senator breathed his last on Saturday, succumbing to what his office describes as "a brief and sudden illness" after a political career dedicated to promoting wars, airstrikes and proxy conflicts at every possible opportunity.
