Brèves de crise
Bien entendu que les midterms de 2026 jouent un rôle politique essentiel puisque nous nous trouvons au cœur d'une crise considérable de l'américanisme. L'enjeu est, tout aussi évidemment, la question du pouvoir du président Trump et de ses différentes initiatives considérées comme autant éléments de crise : rien dans l'action de Trump n'échappe à cette référence crisique.

Le siège de la CIA à Langley, en Virginie
L'ancien agent de la CIA David Rush, 49 ans, a plaidé coupable du détournement de fonds publics le 6 octobre. Accusé d'avoir créé un programme fictif pour s'enrichir, il a acquis des lingots d'or, des montres de luxe et des biens immobiliers. Il encourt jusqu'à 20 ans de pr
Dorothy Day's own post-conversion writings and actions might be enough to disqualify her from consideration for canonization by the Church - save for an ulterior agenda behind the effort.

A couple of weeks ago, leftist theologian Rich Raho posted on celebrating the advancement of Dorothy Day's cause for canonization, linking to an article by Michael Fox at Catholics for the Common Good.

When it comes to contextualizing the tech, bond, gold and policy headlines of Q4 2026, it's easier to foresee their pathway ahead by first looking backwards. Once understood, we mathematically realize that our problems are not in the future, they are right now.
The 1970s
Ah, the 1970s. It was an era of bellbottom jeans, checkered suits, wide ties, the music of ABBA and Saturday morning cartoons.

Late October in northern Virginia carries a specific quality of light, thin and metallic, as if the sun itself has begun to withdraw from the coming winter. On the morning of October 30, 1989, this light fell across the loading dock of a commercial building on the outskirts of Reston, Virginia, where a freight truck from John F. Kennedy International Airport had arrived after driving through the night.

Writes Ginny Garner:
Dolly Parton rarely talked politics because she was a smart and successful business woman who understood she was an entertainer, not a political advisor, and she didn't want to alienate her fans who had varying political views. But even though she was a patriotic American she was definitely antiwar and I believe a libertarian. In 2005 she released the bluegrass flavored album "Those Were the Days" that included antiwar songs "The Cruel War," "Blowin' in the Wind," "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"and "Imagine." In a 2023 interview she was asked about her lyrics in her song "World on Fire." She flatly said all politicians were greedy.

Ina 2007 interview, Lew Rockwell was asked if he considered himself to be a libertarian. The context of the questions was the same then as it would be today for the same question. The question is really this: do you still call yourself a libertarian in spite of all the beltway, pro-government, pro-state intellectuals and activists who also call themselves libertarians ? Rockwell answers "yes" because, of the reasons that he states below.

Lors d'un discours prononcé devant une foule rassemblée lors d'un meeting dans le Nebraska, Donald J. Trump a balayé d'un revers de main la destruction des grands centres métropolitains américains pour préserver sa posture géopolitique en Asie du Sud-Ouest :

The legacy of the Iraqi occupation should be that land empires are the better option, especially in the 21st century, as games of colonization no longer work.
Around 5,000 American and NATO troops dead, countless thousands more injured, the bodies of at least 180,000 Iraqis with them in the sand, and this number could be over a million by some accounts, and anywhere up to 3 trillion dollars have gone into the abyss of national debt; this was the cost of the occupation of Iraq.
There is a v ery good article by Evgeny Morozov in today's FT, emphasizing how the U.S. progressive movemenet endorsing Trump's U.S. attempt to maintain its postindustrial prosperity by establishing monopoly choke points is reminiscent of how Britain's Labour Party sught to benefit its membership from the predatory takings of British imperialism in the late 19th century.
Here's the column, to which I've added some comments by Lenin in his own 1916 critique of this - to which Morozov helpfully refers.

Donald Trump, le président américain
En campagne pour le Congrès, Donald Trump a qualifié la destruction potentielle de villes comme Los Angeles ou San Diego de "tout petit prix à payer" dans une guerre contre l'Iran. Balayant également la hausse des prix du carburant comme étant "artificielle", il a de nouveau promis une fin rapide du conflit.

"Tout le monde est attardé et rien ne fonctionne." Il s'avère que c'est là la clé pour percer le mystère de ce quatrième tournant particulier, celui d'ici et maintenant, de notre époque. C'est une excellente théorie qui explique tout ce qui se passe ces jours-ci, formulée par un de mes proches collaborateurs.

As the midterm election draws near, a number of Republicans in tough races are distancing themselves from President Trump's war. The war is unpopular because it has inflicted economic pain on the already-suffering American people.
No, I am not talking about the Iran War. I am talking about President Trump's tariff war.
The Tax Foundation estimates that, since he returned to the White House, President Trump has imposed tariffs on about 54 percent of imported goods.

I noticed just recently that a new billboard has gone up a few miles from my house. It features a Marine in uniform along with the caption: What Do Marines Fight For?
Never have I been gifted with such a tremendous article prompt.
So, what do Marines fight for?
Well, first of all, here are some things that Marines don't fight for:

Depuis six mois, les yeux du monde entier sont rivés sur la guerre en Iran, tandis que le point chaud le plus dangereux de la planète est resté largement ignoré. Jusqu'à ce que des vagues d'attaques de drones ukrainiens déclenchent une ruée sur les marchés mondiaux du gazole. Du coup, tout le monde y prête à nouveau attention...

The Trump administration and its supporters - including the Wall Street Journal editorial page - are working overtime these days to spin the news around the Iran war to make it appear that the US is winning and Tehran had better submit to Washington's demands before it is wrecked, maybe even "annihilated." Indeed, Trump is preparing the option of bringing the military hammer down on Iran after the midterm elections if Tehran has not surrendered by then.

Imagine running a private company where most of your office buildings failed to meet even a 60% utilization target, yet you continued paying the rent, utilities, maintenance, security, repairs, and operating costs year after year. How long would that company survive ? Welcome to the federal government.
The Government Accountability Office examined the Department of Transportation's real estate portfolio and found that 89% of its 189 federally owned and leased office buildings failed to meet the government's own 60% utilization benchmark.

I have come to the conclusion that journalism in the West has been replaced by hired narratives and that reporters report the narrative that they are hired to tell. It is a new form of vanity press in which interest groups hire a propaganda service to market their agenda.
I will present a current example. On September 28 US Central Command denied that Iran had control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Pity Latin American voters. On election day, they are faced with two choices - right-wing candidates or left-wing candidates. The right-wing candidates come with "free-market" policies combined with a powerful standing army with omnipotent powers, one that ensures the destruction of civil liberties. The left-wing candidates come with massive welfare-state socialist policies that plunge the country into severe economic and monetary crises.
