• Impuissance confirmée de la défense ('Patriot'), crise majeure de la direction, voilà les deux nouvelles illustrant la crise existentielle du Pentagone. • L'attaque iranienne de bases américaniste en Jordanie confirme l'impuissance pathétique des moyens de défense des forces, appuyées sur le 'Patriot', cette quincaillerie aussi ratée que le F-35 et que tous les alliés réclament à grands cris.

L'Europe attend les élections américaines de mi-mandat du 3 novembre 2026 comme une délivrance. On y croit qu'une victoire démocrate adoucira Trump, infléchira la politique américaine, rétablira l'ordre transatlantique. Cette attente repose sur une méprise : la politique étrangère américaine ne se décide pas au Congrès. Elle se décide à l'exécutif, au Pentagone, au Trésor, dans les grandes compagnies.

Donald Trump est déterminé à renverser les élections de mi-mandat. Tout ce qui peut nous sauver, s'il réussit, c'est une grève nationale.
La Maison Blanche de Trump a mis en place une série de mécanismes pour truquer ou invalider les élections de mi-mandat. Le Congrès ne nous sauvera pas. Les tribunaux ne nous sauveront pas.

Albert Einstein is credited with saying, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Whether he actually said it or not, the definition stands.
This definition also very well describes the Trump Administration's war with Iran. According to media reports, President Trump was cajoled by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that this would be an "easy war," like Venezuela.

Flock cameras, and the online surveillance network behind them, offer many ways for law enforcement officials, and other government bureaucrats, to abuse their access to information about the personal lives of the taxpayers.
For example, a Kentucky police officer has been caught using the surveillance network to stalk women. Another officer in Massachusetts has been accused of using Flock camerasto track her ex-girlfriend.

Founded more than a century ago in the immediate aftermath of the First World War, the New York City based Council for Foreign Relations (CFR) ranks as our oldest and most mainstream foreign policy organization, generally reflecting the consensus views of our DC establishment.
In my article last week, I noted that its equally venerable flagship publication Foreign Affairs had just published a major 5,000 word article by a prominent Middle East academic named Marc Lynch, apparently deemed so important that it was placed beyond the usual paywall.

Through the instigation of a particular LRC reader I have written articles on French medicine and Italian libertarianism, The Conscience of French Medicine and A Rare Breed, respectively. Through the same intermediary I spoke with Maurice Blouin about the upcoming elections in Quebec. Blouin comes from an old Québecois family, his ancestors arrived from France in the middle of the 17th century.

The Trump administration's crusade to crush campus criticism took another wallop on Friday in a California courtroom. Federal judge Noël Wise ruled that the Trump administration's "ideological-deportation policy" brazenly violated the US Constitution.
The Stanford Daily-one of the best-known college student newspapers in the nation-sued the Trump administration for changing its "immigration policy and pattern of enforcement, namely by arresting, detaining, and deporting students with F-1 visas when those students use their freedom of speech to express opinions that the government does not like." It asserted that the Trump administration's "actions have specifically impacted Stanford Daily by decreasing the quantity and diversity of opinion pieces The Stanford Daily is able to publish on the conflict between Israel and Palestine." Foreign students who had written on the issue requested that their previous articles be deleted, and other foreign students were no longer willing to comment on hot issues.
And It Might Cost Us Our Country.

Analysis by ChatGPT AI concludes the top levels of the U.S. Government are "profoundly corrupt."
31 August 2026, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)
Today, I had this conversation with ChatGPT:
-
"IS THERE ANY RELIABLE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE MEASURE OF THE AMOUNT OF GOVERNMENTAL CORRUPTNESS IN U.S., OR RUSSIA, OR CHINA, OR INDIA, OR GERMANY (OR EU)?"
-
Yes. There are several serious publicly available attempts to measure governmental corruption internationally, but there is an important qualification: there is no direct, objective measure of the total amount of corruption in a government.

Most people carry a mental image of collapse that looks like a movie scene. Tanks rolling through streets. Banks locking their doors overnight. Crowds panicking in front of empty stores. These dramatic moments do happen, but they're usually the endpoint of a much longer process, not the beginning. By the time things get visibly chaotic, the foundations have already shifted in ways that are harder to see but easier to prepare for.

Si les gros titres quotidiens se focalisent sur les fluctuations du S&P 500, l'évolution économique déterminante aux États-Unis se déroule discrètement ailleurs. Le principal champ de bataille n'est pas le marché boursier, mais celui des bons du Trésor américain. Alors que la dette nationale brute totale franchit le seuil sans précédent des 40 000 milliards de dollars, les investisseurs obligataires mondiaux adressent à Washington un avertissement clair et incontournable.

La bataille pour le contrôle de la Chambre des représentants fait du redécoupage électoral l'un des enjeux les plus sensibles de la campagne des élections de mi-mandat.
La bataille pour le contrôle de la Chambre des représentants fait du redécoupage électoral l'un des enjeux les plus sensibles de la campagne des élections de novembre. Face à l'offensive républicaine visant à redessiner les cartes électorales, les Démocrates envisagent une stratégie qui soulève un problème politique et constitutionnel particulier : concentrer moins d'électeurs afro-américains dans les circonscriptions urbaines où ils peuvent élire des candidats noirs et les répartir dans de plus grandes circonscriptions périurbaines, dans le but de rendre le plus grand nombre possible de sièges démocrates plus compétitifs.

After the publishing of George Orwell's 1984, communist governments and organizations around the world condemned the book as "anti-Soviet slander" and "capitalist propaganda." Orwell died only eight months after the book's release and his personal feelings on the details of the story are limited to a few personal letters to friends and publishers.

America's unspoken military practice from World War II to the present consists in routinely targeting civilians, which constitutes a crime against humanity.
When a global military agenda is heralded as a humanitarian endeavor, when the deliberate killing of children is upheld as "collateral damage,"
When those who resist the US-NATO-led invasion of their homeland are categorized as "insurgents" or "terrorists,"
Republicans and Democrats are the yin and yang of the same monstrous Leviathan that devours the American people.

Alas, another election year is upon us with political signs polluting the roadsides and lying politicians appearing in television commercials.
Although the general election is not until November 3, primary elections began in early March, and won't end until the Delaware primary on September 15.
Churches all over America have urged their congregations to vote in these primary elections, but the real push is to get Christians to vote in the November general election.

CIA e grandes jornais dos EUA atuaram juntos: NYT, CBS e Time cederam credenciais e arquivos. Imprensa é braço de propaganda do império.

A concepção corriqueira, sobretudo no Ocidente, diz que a imprensa deve atuar como uma espécie de "cão de guarda" (watchdog) do interesse público. Em diferentes variações, esse é o slogan de todos os grandes jornais.
