Cristina demande sur Twitter : «Pourriez-vous écrire un autre de vos beaux articles sur l'espoir ? Je ne suis pas sûre d'en avoir encore. Nous avons besoin d'espoir».
Personnellement, je ne comprends pas comment on peut être sans espoir en ce moment. La machine de propagande impériale s'effondre d'une manière que nous n'avons jamais vue de notre vivant.

Ce n'est pas qu'un navire qui a franchi la banquise, c'est un véritable signal. En reliant la Chine à l'Europe par la route du Nord, le cargo «Istanbul Bridge» vient en effet d'ouvrir une nouvelle voie commerciale au-dessus du monde, totalement sous contrôle russo-chinois. Un couloir rendu praticable par le recul spectaculaire de la glace : l'Arctique s'est ainsi réchauffé quatre fois plus vite que la moyenne mondiale ces quarante dernières années.
Un étranger organise la pénurie à Madagascar ! Une compagnie transforme l'immense réserve d'eau de l'île en électricité. Et où part toute cette électricité ? Et bien dans la plus grande mine de Nickel et de Cobalt du monde. Et à qui appartient cette mine : à un conglomérat de multinationales japonaises et sud-coréennes. Résultat : le conglomérat capte 30% des recettes d'exportations du pays.

L'Union européenne déclare souvent aspirer à un partenariat égal avec l'Afrique, mais dans la pratique, sa politique est souvent paternaliste et contradictoire. Dans une interview exclusive, le député européen Yvan Verougstraete a critiqué l'approche de l'UE, en pointant les problèmes clés dans les accords économiques, la politique migratoire et le soutien à la sécurité.

Con 180 voti - il numero più alto nel gruppo Asia-Pacifico - il Việt Nam è stato rieletto al Consiglio per i Diritti Umani per il triennio 2026-2028. L'esito riflette la fiducia della comunità internazionale nella sua politica estera aperta e nell'approccio pragmatico alla cooperazione multilaterale sui diritti umani.
La rielezione del Việt Nam nel Consiglio per i Diritti Umani delle Nazioni Unite (UNHRC) per il mandato 2026-2028 costituisce un risultato di grande rilievo politico e diplomatico.

It is particularly difficult to pick out the most idiotic comments made by President Donald Trump over the past week as there is so much to choose from. There were the memorable doodle-headed speeches before the Israeli Knesset and the so-called Peace gathering in Sharm el-Sheikh Egypt and the threats against Hamas over the failure to come up with the bodies of Israeli hostages that were killed by American government provided bombs dropped by Israel and are now buried beneath piles of rubble.

For more than thirty years, I'd occasionally come across harsh attacks against a British historian named John Charmley for writing a highly-critical biography of Winston Churchill, the famed British leader, and that was about the only thing I knew of that author. I'd always vaguely wondered exactly what he'd said about Churchill that had infuriated so many others, and whether his criticism had been warranted, but never had enough of an interest in the topic to investigate it.

Of all the many dark centuries in the history of Christendom, there is no denying that the 20th century was one of the darkest. It was also the deadliest. In terms of the sheer body count, the last century, with its wars of irreligion, fought with industrialized weapons of mass destruction, was the most murderous in human history-and among the most tyrannous.

I've long believed that public relations (propaganda) is one of the most powerful but invisible forces in our society. Again and again, I've watched professional PR firms create narratives that most of the country believes, regardless of how much it goes against their self-interests. What's most remarkable is that despite the exact same tactics being used repeatedly on the public, most people simply can't see it.

It's so silly how American politics is just nonstop fake revolutions now.
Millions flooded the US streets for the "No Kings" protests over the weekend to oppose a monarchy which does not exist without making a single tangible demand. Power was not challenged in any meaningful way. The status quo wasn't disrupted in the slightest. People held up some signs saying the president is orange and that if Kamala were president they would be at brunch, and then went home.

"The American pioneer spiritwas characterized by a relentless pursuit of new opportunities, a willingness to face challenges, and a commitment to building a better future." This spirit was propounded in "Manifest Destiny, in U.S. history, the supposed inevitability of the continued territorial expansion of the boundaries of the United States westward to the Pacific and beyond." This sense of inevitability could be applied at any time and anywhere a resilient, ambitious, and even desperate and ruthless people come to a relatively sparsely populated region where the inhabitants do not have the wherewithal to resist their military, economic and cultural power.

It has been one month and 10 days since Charlie Kirk's assassination, and we still know nothing factual about it.
The information or disinformation that has come out is nonsensical. Andrew Kolvet, a spokesman for Turning Point USA and executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, said the doctor who examined Kirk told him that there was no exit wound.

On October 18th, the Republican Party propaganda news site Zero Hedge headlined "'Fueled By Billionaires' and reported:
The Democratic Party's dark-money NGO network, bankrolled by left-wing billionaires, is reportedly preparing to activate a coordinated, color-revolution-style mobilization across the U.S. this weekend - a replay of failed agitation attempts seen earlier this year targeting President Trump and Elon Musk.

Mon dieu! La France has run out of politicians. The Republic of this great democracy has hundreds of professional politicians. In fact, 577 in its National Assembly. Yet it can't seem to find a prime minister who can hold this difficult job.
So, citizens, aux armes. Form your battalions. Tyranny threatens the Republic.
The problem is simple, yet complex.
