There is news, or maybe just learned rumors, about a prolongation of the ceasefire between USrael and Iran.
US and Iran close to extend ceasefire by 60 days, reports Financial Times - Gulf Today
The United States and Iran are close to agreeing on a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war, two regional officials and a diplomat said on Saturday.
Iran signaled "narrowing differences" in negotiations with the US after Pakistan's army chief held more talks in Tehran, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told journalists in India that "there's been some progress made" and "there may be news later today."
Dynamic Orthodoxy and the New Catholic Revival
The clear connection between tradition and conversion is of the Holy Spirit, which is the only spirit that can move the world and not be moved by it.

In a recent interview on the Coin Telegraph YouTube channel, Peter takes aim at the growing use of leverage to buy Bitcoin, focusing on Strategy's (formerly Microstrategy) debt-fueled strategy and its risks for ordinary investors. He warns that borrowing to buy a volatile asset creates fragile finance that can wipe out retirements, and he contrasts Bitcoin's speculative appeal with his preferred hedges against currency debasement.

It's perfectly clear that the political West, its allies, vassals and satellite states, supported by the massive mainstream propaganda machine and other strategic assets, will stop at nothing to push their agenda and try to slow down the advent of a new, much fairer and more sustainable global system. Thus, for them, telling blatant lies about anything is "just another day at the office".

At all times and places it has been difficult to speak freely. Even the founding fathers had their Sedition Act of 1798 that criminalized statements against the US government. Shortly afterward President Thomas Jefferson got most of it repealed.
President Lincoln during his 1861-1865 invasion of the Confederate States of America had a de facto sedition act.

INTRODUCTION
For years, the global economy has survived on one fragile element disguised as stability: confidence. Governments called it growth. Banks called it recovery. Markets called it resilience. But beneath the carefully constructed optimism of modern financial systems, another reality has slowly emerged - one built on hidden shortages, expanding debt, weakened industrial production, strategic resource accumulation, and silent panic among institutions that publicly continue promising stability.
No alla guerra alla Russia. Appello dell'intellettualità libera
Noi, firmatari di questo documento, scrittori artisti letterati professori musicisti cineasti, ci appelliamo alla Pubblica Opinione per lanciare un messaggio, che ci sembra urgentissimo e necessario

In Europa e in Italia, stiamo assistendo a una degenerazione della lotta politica, divenuta trasposizione della guerra sotto altre forme. Sebbene nel mondo siano attivi una sessantina di conflitti militari, tre sono le "aree di crisi" che più destano inquietudine: l'aggressione all'Iran, da parte di USA e Israele; lo sterminio del popolo palestinese da parte dello Stato israeliano e la guerra in Ucraina, che oggi desta in noi la preoccupazione maggiore: un conflitto nel quale l'Italia è direttamente coinvolta con invio di armi e fondi, con l'apertura indiscriminata agli ucraini che fuggono del loro paese, e una sorta di "ucrainizzazione" della nostra politica estera, e dello stesso dibattito pubblico.
Mettre au pas le Pentagone : peut-on dompter ce monstre militaro-industriel ?
En ce moment même, nous assistons à un transfert sans précédent de ressources, qui sont détournées des investissements nationaux aux États-Unis vers le complexe militaro-industriel (autrement dit, la machine de guerre). La seule période comparable de notre histoire remonte à la période précédant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, lorsque les États-Unis ont dû faire face à un puissant adversaire, l'Allemagne nazie, qui avait pour ambition de contrôler non seulement l'Europe, mais le monde entier.
Une histoire émouvante et inspirante sur l'amitié entre la Norvège et la Russie
Par Finian Cunningham, le 24 mai 2026
Le triomphe de la compassion et de la solidarité humaine triomphera des conflits engendrés par la malveillance et le mensonge, et il perdurera en inspirant d'autres peuples.
La russophobie, ce fléau politique qui ronge l'Europe, trouve un puissant antidote dans l'histoire suivante de coopération et de fraternité entre médecins norvégiens et russes.
Une future guerre entre les États-Unis et l'Europe est-elle inévitable ?
Par Brandon Smith − Le 16 mai 2026 − Source Alt-Market
Pour ceux qui auraient pu passer à côté de l'actualité ces derniers mois, une guerre fait rage entre les États-Unis et l'Europe. Ce sont principalement les gouvernements d'Europe occidentale qui posent problème : ils ont déclenché le conflit, ils continuent de le perpétuer, et ils ont tendance à se poser en victimes lorsqu'ils en subissent les conséquences.
La guerre contre l'Iran. Faire trainer les choses (une fois de plus) ?
Par Moon of Alabama - Le 23 mai 2026
Il y a des nouvelles, ou peut-être juste des rumeurs, sur une prolongation du cessez-le-feu entre USraël et l'Iran.
