... c'est de la subversion, et rien de tout cela n'est le fruit du hasard. C'est un scénario bien rodé qui consiste à utiliser les institutions démocratiques d'un État jouissant d'une grande confiance pour détruire une civilisation. − El Gato Malo sur Substack

Since 2014, I have been puzzled by the absence of a Russian foreign policy strategy. The Kremlin had the carrot-diplomacy-but no stick, the absence of which made the diplomacy ineffective. If the diplomacy failed, there was no backup plan.
We saw this in 2014 when Washington overthrew without Russian opposition the Russian-friendly government in Ukraine and installed an anti-Russian puppet government.

Here where I sit once again looking easterly to the vast sea, the wind and the waves and winding vistas along the north Atlantic coast drown out trivial thoughts. We are here for a few days to empty our minds of trash, as a vacation should so vacate. Unlike many, we are lucky for this opportunity.
Yesterday, while walking down the far deserted beach, we saw a dark mountainous form high up on a sand dune that perplexed us from a distance.

Why not just admit the obvious: The welfare-warfare state that 20th-century Americans brought into existence and that 21st-century Americans have kept in existence has failed. Wouldn't that be a lot better than to waste time, energy, and money coming up with ways to save and reform it ? After all, if several generations of Americans haven't been able to make this deadly, destructive, immoral, and dysfunctional system work, what are the chances that people living today will make it work ? No chance at all!

Even the richest man in Rome was relegated to the shadows of his contemporaries. Before allying with Pompey and Caeser to form the First Triumvirate, Marcus Licinius Crassus amassed his wealth through shady real estate deals.
Often bargaining for pennies on the dollar (or asses on the sestertius), victims of house fires were presented with the choice to sell quickly or watch their future go up in flames.

La confrontation commerciale entre les États-Unis et le Canada a franchi un seuil historique, se transformant en un affrontement culturel et linguistique sans précédent.
Le vendredi 21 août 2026, le Premier ministre canadien, Mark Carney, a officiellement rompu les négociations bilatérales face aux exigences de l'administration de Donald Trump. Les droits de douane américains de 50% sur environ 28 milliards de dollars de marchandises canadiennes sont entrés en vigueur à minuit dans la nuit du vendredi 21 août au samedi 22 août 2026.

La réduction de l'ampleur des exercices "Bouclier de la liberté Ulchi 2026" ne traduit pas seulement une évolution de la planification au sein de l'alliance entre les États-Unis et la Corée du Sud, mais aussi une nouvelle approche de Washington dans ses relations avec la Corée du Nord.
La décision du président américain Donald Trump de réduire les exercices militaires conjoints est probablement à l'origine de leur annulation ou de leur réduction substantielle.

Washington has a disastrous debt problem. And yet, President Donald Trump wants more room to borrow.
According to The Hill, Trump is pushing to extend the federal debt ceiling through the end of his presidency. That would require roughly another $5 trillion in borrowing authority.
The contrast with his old promises is striking.
When running for president in 2016, Trump said he could wipe out the entire $19 trillion national debt within eight years.

The U.S. military has just announced that it has carried out two more murders on the high seas near South America. This now brings the military's high-seas murders to more than 200 people.
Mind you, in its announcement, the military did not use the term "murder." The announcement stated that the military is simply enforcing the U.S. drug war. But make no mistake about it: What the military is doing is engaging in state-sponsored murder, which is ordinarily a felony offense.

Realpolitik ? Un grave malentendu ? Ou un retrait sans l'appeler ainsi ?
Voici ce qui se passe réellement dans la salle - ou plutôt les salles : des informations hautement confidentielles et privilégiées provenant des deux centres de gravité du drame actuel, Téhéran et Islamabad, youtube bien au-delà de la mise en scène spectaculaire caractéristique de Washington.

Al Shara alias Al Jolani, un terroriste sunnite devenu président de la Syrie
Pendant un quart de siècle, les États-Unis ont raconté au monde, et à eux-mêmes, une histoire simple sur leur rôle au Moyen-Orient. Le 11 septembre 2001, ils ont été attaqués par des djihadistes sunnites, et ils ont répondu par une très longue guerre contre l'extrémisme islamique sunnite - contre al-Qaïda d'abord puis État islamique.

There is a point in the decline of republics when the problem is no longer that government breaks its own laws. Governments will always behave unlawfully. The deeper problem comes when the constitutional machinery designed to prevent those acts stops functioning - when spending becomes detached from arithmetic, presidential power becomes detached from law, and Congress and the courts become detached from the Constitution.

Contained within Rothbard's multi-volume history of the American Revolution, Conceived in Liberty, is an extended argument against the conservative narrative on the American Revolution and the French Revolution.
Writing in the 1960s, Rothbard was addressing what was then a common claim among conservatives about the revolution: that it was a conservative, restrained, and almost gentlemanly revolution that sought only to preserve and restore what had already been established.

It was 53 years ago that Jean Raspail wrote The Camp of the Saints in an attempt to wake up the French nation to the future challenge they would face. The French response was to dismiss Raspail's effort as a dystopian novel and do nothing. Today five decades later Marine Le Pen, leader of France's only French nationalist party, is the most popular political leader in France.

The formerly sleepy suburb of Menlo Park where I live, made a sudden appearance on everyone's radar in 2011 when Facebook moved in. Then-Mayor Rich Cline presciently called it: "the single biggest event in our town's history." And we're about to make national headlines once more, since we're facing what amounts to a hostile takeover by progressive change agents, through a perfect storm of political chicanery coupled with undue influence by big monied interests.

Most people ask the wrong question entirely. They imagine collapse as a cinematic event-fireballs on the horizon, zombies at the perimeter, some dramatic moment when the protagonist grabs a bug-out bag and flees toward salvation. Reality moves slower. It whispers before it screams. Systems fray at the edges long before they snap at the center, and by the time the average person recognizes the pattern, the exits have narrowed to chokepoints.
