La seconda "Conferenza europea di Ventotene per la libertà e la democrazia" ha utilizzato il prestigio simbolico dell'isola e una significativa copertura istituzionale per proporre una lettura rigidamente euro-atlantica del mondo, nella quale gli avversari dell'Occidente sono stati sistematicamente associati ad autocrazia, repressione e minaccia.

La seconda "Conferenza europea di Ventotene per la libertà e la democrazia" si è svolta dal 10 al 12 settembre 2026 presentandosi come un grande appuntamento dedicato alla libertà, ai diritti e alla difesa dei valori democratici.

Until very recently I'd been only slightly familiar with the Houthis, an Islamic rebel army in Yemen that called itself the Ansar Allah movement. But all that changed when their lightning military advance earlier this month suddenly reached the international media headlines, drastically reshaping global oil markets.

Sweeping down the Red Sea coast, the Houthis easily routed the Saudi proxy forces long deployed against them, who fled in a wild panic, abandoning all their military equipment.

President Trump, speaking at the Republicans' midterm convention, pledged that if Republicans maintained control of the Congress in the November election every adult American will receive 5,000 dollars from the government.

President Trump said that the government could afford the estimated 1.3 trillion dollars cost "because we've done so well and because our country is making so much money."

This newsletter exists to help others, and as a result, I frequently receive correspondences from individuals with pressing questions I want to answer. Unfortunately, due to how much work goes into producing the material here, I simply no longer have the time to respond to most of those correspondences.

The best solution I've been able to come up with is to have monthly open threads where anyone can ask whatever is needed (e.g., any lingering questions from the previous month) so I could make a point to always reply to them (as having them all in a single place makes it easier to get to them and also possible for others with the same question to see that answer).

The Baltimore Rock Opera Society was founded in 2007 by several people who, judging by their names are white Gentiles. There is nothing "white supremacy" or racist about the group. As it includes live rock theater, it obviously cannot exclude blacks. Despite its innocence, the 501c3 organization has gotten into racist difficulties.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has effectively challenged the bond market to a fight, telling traders, "I have asymmetric information. I am the house now," and that they can "bet against him if they want." Treasury has expanded its buyback operations for long-term government bonds, increasing purchases to as much as $6 billion per operation after Bessent originally promised to at least double the normal size.

The point of AI is profit, dependence and dominance cloaked with Happy Story Hoopla about super-abundance. We have a super-abundance already-of malicious mayhem and cognitive impairment.

AI is by most accounts either 1) the greatest advance since the wheel, or at least since YouTube and/or 2) the greatest opportunity ever to skim billions or maybe even trillions of dollars in private gains.

One of my favorite anecdotes about the education racket comes from Lawrence Lindsey's 1990 book The Growth Experiment (page 210, to be precise).

The question was: how many bureaucrats operate in the New York City public school system ? It took two dozen phone calls to find someone who both knew the answer and was authorized to disclose it: six thousand.

It would help to have something to compare that number to, so the author contacted the Archdiocese of New York, whose Catholic schools educated one-sixth as many students - so they should have had one thousand bureaucrats if the proportion held.

The hum stopped gradually, then all at once. Not with explosion. With silence spreading from the coasts inward, Tuesday afternoon in late October, when the eastern grid finally collapsed under cascade failures engineers had warned about for decades. By Thursday, the western interconnect followed. Phone networks lasted forty-eight hours longer than expected, routing through emergency protocols until backup generators ran dry.

The lingering, haunting, and terrifying possibility that a catastrophic nuclear conflict could break out and destroy much of human civilization is not something that most people like to think about. I understand that. I also understand that most westerners have become numb to the seemingly endless war between Russia and Ukraine. But I feel compelled to write about this anyway, because western leaders are making incredibly foolish decisions that are pushing us to the brink of a nuclear showdown with the Russians.

Le ministre iranien des Affaires étrangères, Abbas Araghchi, a déclaré que l'objectif principal de la délégation iranienne lors de l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies de cette année est de monter à la tribune internationale pour défendre la justesse de la cause ainsi que les droits et les intérêts de la nation iranienne, après une lâche guerre d'agression menée par les États-Unis et le régime sioniste contre le pays.

De très belles images du quartier "hui" (l'une des communautés musulmanes de Chine) de Xi'an, que j'ai visité il y a deux ans. En Chine, 40 millions de musulmans vivent leur foi, pratiquent leur culte et portent les vêtements de leur choix en toute liberté. J'ai rarement vu une société aussi tolérante et aussi respectueuse pour ses minorités. Elles bénéficient de mesures favorables et de places réservées dans l'administration et l'enseignement supérieur.

La destruction de Gaza a été documentée avec une précision extraordinaire ; pourtant, parmi la liste des quartiers, hôpitaux et routes en ruines, une cible a suscité bien moins d'attention qu'elle ne le mériterait : l'éducation.

Des écoles ont été détruites, des universités rasées, des bibliothèques incendiées, des archives perdues et des laboratoires réduits en ruines, tandis que des professeurs ont été tués aux côtés de leurs étudiants.

Au cœur du piège mortel que constituent les bâtiments effondrés et bombardés de Gaza

Avec plus de 40 000 Palestiniens abrités dans des immeubles sujets à l'effondrement et un hiver "cauchemardesque" qui approche, la Défense civile de Gaza met en garde contre une catastrophe évitable qui se déroule au grand jour.
