«Le classement mondial des universités 2025 de l'Université de Leiden (Pays-Bas) marque un bouleversement majeur : les établissements chinois dominent désormais le top 10 mondial. Huit universités chinoises figurent parmi les dix premières, avec l'Université du Zhejiang à Hangzhou en tête.
L'Université Jiaotong de Shanghai occupe la deuxième place, tandis que Harvard, longtemps leader historique des États-Unis, recule à la troisième position.

Une Australienne handicapée mentale youtube pour incitation à la haine antisémite après avoir accidentellement composé le numéro d'une nutritionniste juive. Le message vocal laissé sur sa messagerie était vide, ce qui a provoqué chez cette dernière une «peur et une nervosité immédiates», car elle a cru entendre des bruits de fond ressemblant à des coups de feu.

Après tant de grondements d'orage, la pluie est finalement tombée.
Iran. Pendant plusieurs jours, le gouvernement a laissé s'exprimer dans les rues un certain mécontentement populaire, généralisé et profond. Ce mécontentement était essentiellement dû à des questions économiques, à la difficulté de commercer, qui a surtout touché les puissants Bazari.

« La langue ne se contente pas de poétiser et de penser à ma place, elle dirige aussi mes sentiments, elle régit tout mon être moral d'autant plus naturellement que je m'en remets inconsciemment à elle. Et qu'arrive-t-il si cette langue cultivée est constituée d'éléments toxiques ou si l'on en a fait le vecteur de substances toxiques ? Les mots peuvent être comme de minuscules doses d'arsenic : on les avale sans y prendre garde, ils semblent ne faire aucun effet, et voilà qu'après quelque temps l'effet toxique se fait sentir. » (http://newsnet.fr/1)

What can Trump do ? Bomb Iranian institutional buildings like the IRCG headquarters?
To understand the background to events in Iran today, we need to retrace what I quoted U.S. commentator & Trump biographer Michael Wolff saying last July about Trump's thinking in connection with the impending attacks on Iran's Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan enrichment facilities:

Il rischio di incendiare con nuove guerre il Corno d'Africa è del tutto evidente, forse anche uno dei criminali obiettivi perseguiti subdolamente da Tel Aviv.
Donne di inusitata bellezza, sultanati sonnacchiosi, dune di candida sabbia tra frondosi palmeti in riva a un mare d'un cristallino azzurro, alla fine dell'Ottocento la Somalia è questo e poco altro, mentre nelle acque antistanti la costa le navi inglesi incrementano il loro passaggio con poderosi bastimenti provenienti dalle immense distese del vicereame delle Indie in direzione di Bab el Mandeb, per poi dirigersi fino alle coste britanniche, imboccando il mar Rosso e il canale di Suez.
Vijay Prashad, 15 janvier 2026. Chers amis, salutations de la part de Tricontinental : Institut de recherche sociale - Troisième bulletin (2026).
En 2024, notre institut a publié deux textes importants : l'étude « Hyper-impérialisme : une nouvelle phase dangereuse et décadente » et le dossier n° 72, « Le bouleversement de l'ordre mondial ». Ensemble, ils proposent cinq observations clés :
Ranjan Solomon, 18 janvier 2026. - Dans le lexique de la géopolitique moderne, le langage sert rarement à décrire la réalité ; il sert plus souvent à la camoufler. L'émergence de propositions telles qu'un « Conseil de la paix de Gaza » représente un pivot linguistique sophistiqué - une transition de la violence brute de l'occupation militaire à la violence stérile et bureaucratique de la recolonisation.

Tension in Iran has increase recently, as economic woes and reactions against the Islamic regime in power have led to protests that have been met with violence and death inflicted by the forces in power. Trump has threatened armed intervention if the deaths continue. There is every reason to oppose this. But before getting into what might happen in Iran, there is another issue that we need to address, and this issue is basic.

The MAGA voting bloc may have been willfully deceived, but one year into Trump 2.0, it is kind of obvious who is getting the shaft, and how Trump's neocolonialism is actually working.
Some credit Trump's interventionary intentions to the financial needs of his political donors and billionaire pals. But a younger Donald Trump believed the same things the older Trump does today.
While Israel fuels violent protests in Iran, the US is citing the Iranian government's deadly crackdown as a pretext for a military attack aimed at regime change.

How Iranian Protests Are Reported by the Mainstream Media
According to the New York Times, the mass protests in Iran that the world has been witnessing over the past few weeks represent citizens "demanding an end to the regime", which has responded by violently trying to quash demonstrations.

The Forgotten Side of Medicine
January 19, 2026
I feel one of the biggest issues in modern medicine is that it's become so disconnected that patients often can't form a meaningful therapeutic relationship with their physician. Because of this, my goal here was always to be able to correspond with everyone who reached out to me (e.g., through comments). Unfortunately, due to the size of this publication, that's no longer possible.

The Landlord Question
Everything needs to be somewhere. This physical space, this fact of nature, we call "Land." People who own land, we call landowners. People who earn income from letting people use land, we call landlords. Landlords get a bad rap, probably since the first tenant learned how to write.

Judging from opinion polls, the American public has increasingly become largely disenchanted with the bizarre behavior of President Donald J Trump and the clownish entourage that surrounds and encourages him. Last week featured a meeting between Trump and the foreign minister of Denmark as well as his counterpart from Greenland's legislative assembly.

I support regime change in the United States. The real kind, not the "new face at the front desk every few years" kind.
I'm all for overthrowing tyrannical power structures, I just think we should start with the worst one.
Why should I support the violent overthrow of the US empire's enemies while the US empire itself remains standing ? Why should I want to help the one power structure that's terrorizing and destroying nations around the world with the goal of total planetary domination ? Why should I facilitate the propaganda campaign of the latest imperial regime change operation by talking about the tyranny and oppressiveness of the Official Bad Guy of the Day when it will do nothing but help the empire expand its global hegemony?
