In 2010, a Rockefeller Foundation report entitled Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development described a fictional pandemic followed by increasingly authoritarian government controls. Its Lock Step scenario envisaged restrictions on movement, intensified surveillance, and biometric identification systems that would persist long after the emergency had passed.

Sleepwalking into a NATO War with Russia
The Russian war against Ukraine is now halfway through its fifth year, rapidly approaching the length of World War II. The European NATO countries have become more and more heavily drawn into that conflict, which many observers believe has already cost more than a million lives.
Although the NATO leaders had initially been quite cautious about fighting a proxy war against nuclear-armed Russia on Russia's own border, lack of any significant Russian pushback has dangerously swollen their confidence, and many red-lines once assumed to exist have already long since been crossed.

In a recent article, I highlighted the "law of displacement" which encapsulates my belief that a harmful lucrative technology, regardless of the evidence against it, will almost only be removed from the market once either a more profitable alternative emerges, or a less harmful but equally profitable one does (as in all other cases, the profit the technology makes outweighs the cost of silencing critics of its toxicity).

When you are working as hard as you can and you still don't even come close to being able to pay all the bills, it can be absolutely soul crushing. Millions upon millions of Americans are living lives of quiet desperation as they attempt to scrape by from month to month. Many of them have a really hard time sleeping at night because the financial pressure never ends.
Academic arguments and practical decisions about a longstanding explanatory model and its utility.

Author's Note: I initially wrote the following essay about 18 months ago. Recent reader comments inspired me to repost it with a few modifications.
When I was studying philosophy in graduate school, my favorite class was epistemology, or how we know what we think we know.

Are all cultures equally worthy of our respect ? Globalists say, "yes."
Are all religions equally worthy of our respect ? Globalists say, "yes."
Are all nations equally worthy of our respect ? Globalists say, "yes."
Globalists speak of "multiculturalism" as if it were a virtue and equate Western civilization with "white supremacy," "patriarchy," and "imperialism." They believe Christians should celebrate Islamic holidays.

This past week we have seen several serious Administration corruption scandals. Fox News host-turned-Trump Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, came to attention recently when she informed a Greek official, in what sounded like a threat, that Washington can overthrow any government it wishes.
While hardly breaking news, such an admission is not normally considered part of diplomatic dialogue.

Spencer Pratt fought a spirited campaign for mayor of Los Angeles, but the voters decided the left hadn't yet done quite enough damage to the city and that city residents need to be surrounded by more violent addicts and used needles and human waste, so they voted for two leftists to have a runoff instead.
At any rate, Pratt just commented on a short video by several middle-aged women who support Abdul El-Sayed for United States Senate from Michigan.

As part of its 'blockade-for-blockade', 'airport-for-airport' strategy, Ansarallah carried out a third attack on Riyadh International Airport on Saturday - 12 people (mostly civilians) were killed and more than 300 injured.

What Israel has done, is doing, to Gaza has not sprung ex nihilo from October 7.
Genocide is not a situational counter-response to aggression. It's a coming-out event of sorts.
Differently put: There are no legitimate antecedents to genocide. Genocide is not a "war crime" to which a set of mitigating or exculpating legal defenses can attach.
Genocide is a stand-alone indefensible crime-"the blackest of all crimes"-for which there are no extenuating circumstances and to which no traditional legal defenses attach.

While I was a veteran high school teacher I pushed for a re-introduction of those classes and skills the documentary focuses upon under the rubric/umbrella of "Senior Survival." I had one other colleague join with me in this effort, but it never went anywhere, very disillusioning and regretful.
I was a high school teacher at this time in the early 2000s.

Une fois de plus, le président Donald Trump renverse la table. Il a conclu un accord sur le diesel avec la Russie, au mépris des mesures coercitives unilatérales que son prédécesseur avait prises contre elle. C'est une rebondissement de la crise pétrolière ouverte par sa guerre stupide contre l'Iran. Simultanément, Kiev s'est attaqué à Washington en soutenant les cartels latinos, ennemis jurés de Donald Trump.

Février 2020: dans une déclaration publique, le président turc affirme que son pays ne retiendra plus les migrants souhaitant se rendre en Europe. Dans les heures qui suivent, les autorités turques conduisent des milliers de personnes vers la frontière grecque, dans la région de l'Evros, où des affrontements éclatent avec des agents de Frontex.
I'm seeing a powerful transformation in the use of the term "holocaust" on the Internet. Long before World War II, it was a Greek-based English word for killing or massacre. It was a natural extension for its being used as a more familiar word to describe what the Palestinians call the nakba, their holocaust or "catastrophe." And making a full historical circle, it is being extended to Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as in Lebanon.

Les prises de conscience citoyennes ne sont pas suivies d'effets politiques. Dans Mal-bouffe, on arrête tout et on réfléchit ! (Rue de l'échiquier, 2026), Marie Hégly, Charles Adrianssens et Paul Montjotin font un état des lieux de ce qu'ils appellent le bien-manger. Il dépasse la seule question de l'alimentation dans la mesure où il relève également de l'écologie, du social ou encore de la culture, formant un projet de société.

Et si la dette publique n'était pas d'abord le produit d'un État trop dépensier, mais celui d'une économie trop inégalitaire ? Lorsque les revenus se concentrent, la consommation ralentit et l'épargne s'accumule au sommet sans irriguer l'économie réelle - obligeant précisément l'État à intervenir, et à s'endetter. Derrière les déficits publics se cache ainsi une mécanique que l'orthodoxie budgétaire refuse de voir.

Depuis plus de quarante ans, Atlas Network, un réseau américain discret, finance des think tanks et pèse sur des campagnes électorales dans 103 pays pour imposer, loin des isoloirs, la même haine de l'impôt et l'idéologie du marché dérégulé. Son influence a pesé sur l'élection de Javier Milei en Argentine ; en France, elle irrigue plus discrètement le débat fiscal et éducatif à travers des officines comme la Fondation iFRAP.

La netta bocciatura dell'iniziativa sulla neutralità lascia formalmente intatto lo storico status della Confederazione, ma consolida una traiettoria iniziata con le sanzioni contro la Russia nel 2022 e proseguita con una crescente interoperabilità militare con la NATO.
Le votazioni referendarie federali tenutesi in Svizzera il 27 settembre hanno prodotto due risultati particolarmente netti.
La rapporteuse spéciale des Nations unies sur la situation des droits de l'homme dans les territoires palestiniens occupés a exprimé son inquiétude face aux actes de "terreur" commis quotidiennement contre les Palestiniens, appelant l'Union européenne à agir contre l'"apartheid" israélien.
Francesca Albanese s'est exprimée dans un contexte d'intensification des violences perpétrées par des colons contre les Palestiniens en Cisjordanie occupée.
