Ziad Medoukh, 3 mai 2026. Nous sommes début mai 2026, 32 mois d'agression, 7 mois d'un cessez-le-feu fragile et sans cesse violé. 7 mois pendant lesquels les médias et les dirigeants du monde parlent moins de Gaza où la situation a encore empiré depuis le début de la guerre contre le Liban et l'Iran. Gaza se sent abandonnée, oubliée par le reste du monde.
Le sentiment d'impuissance est un sentiment terrible.

Here is a salient place to start regarding the economic impact of the Donald's misbegotten war on Iran: To wit, approximately 7 billion ton-miles of freight moves by truck each and every day in the USA, which heavy truck fleet consumes upwards of 2.9 million barrels per day (mb/d) of diesel fuel.
Alas, the price of diesel fuel was about $3.55/gallon both a year ago and as of early January 2026, but has since soared by more than+$2.00 per gallon to around $5.60 recently.

In 1901, on far-away Balangiga, a village in Eastern Samar of the Philippines, an American general gave an order that stripped away any notion of "civilizing" or "Christianizing" a foreign people: "Make it a howling wilderness."
General Jacob H. Smith's command-accompanied by the instruction to "kill everyone over ten"-was not an aberration. It was consistent with a decision made only a few years earlier about America becoming one of the "great" nations.

It can be said with absolute accuracy that if the FBI for 100 years had not been complicit and had regularly arrested members of Congress who violated the Constitution and laws, The People would have their promised rights and continued prosperity.
I describe our government of bureaucrats in three words, Apostates, Heretics, and Traitors, which is a far cry from a Constitutional Republic protecting the rights and promoting the prosperity for all Patriots who work.

As I pointed out in my last article, someone in the Trump administration who has been briefed on Trump's upcoming statements about the war in Iran made a financial killing yesterday. This is part of a continuing pattern of deliberate deception by Trump, i.e., pretending there is great progress with talks with Iran, which in turn produces a boost in the US stock market and a decline in the futures price of oil.

A few days ago, we had Mr. Araghchi go to Russia. Earlier this week, we had Mr. Araghchi go to China.
These two trips mirror in full regalia the power of the new Russia-Iran-China triangle, which has emerged as the driving force behind Eurasian integration and multipolarity.
Some of Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's observations to Iranian media were quite fascinating.
Trump once again yields to pressure from the pro-war lobby.

Apparently, the Trump administration's recent pro-war shift is not limited to the Middle East. The Republican administration seems increasingly yielding to the interests of the military lobby and the so-called "deep state," approving measures that will harm international security and further worsen current tensions (in addition to contributing nothing to US people's legitimate interests).

All eyes are concentrated on a fraudulent virus pandemic, and that is exactly what the ruling elite that now control all thought and non-action of the herd desire. Tunnel vision and concentration on state-manufactured monsters does not allow for critical thought, nor does it allow for any sane decision-making by the general populace.

War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.

Consider these recent news stories from Europe and North America:
(1) Germany's government is considering a new law that would allow its spy agency to investigate and block citizens from buying homes if the would-be owners hold political views that conflict with the government's official policies.

"Editor's Note: There are periods in history when societies begin to discover that the liberties they believed to be permanent were, in reality, conditional arrangements tolerated only while they remained politically convenient. Across the Western world, governments are quietly expanding the legal and administrative mechanisms through which private land can be reclassified, restricted, absorbed, or transferred in the name of infrastructure, sustainability, industrial security, climate adaptation, and economic modernization.

Une nouvelle analyse publiée jeudi estime que le contribuable américain moyen a versé plus de 4 000 dollars au gouvernement fédéral l'année dernière "pour le militarisme et ses structures de soutien", comme le Pentagone, dont le budget annuel, déjà colossal, devrait grimper à 1 500 milliards de dollars si le président Donald Trump parvient à ses fins.

Selon une enquête, plusieurs personnes visées auraient vu leurs comptes bancaires bloqués sur décision administrative des ministères de l'Intérieur et de l'Économie, sans condamnation judiciaire préalable.
Le média en ligne Blast affirme dans une enquête publiée jeudi que le dispositif de gel des avoirs en France, présenté comme un outil de lutte contre le terrorisme, serait utilisé à l'encontre de militants propalestiniens et de certaines figures de la communauté musulmane, ce que des avocats et associations contestent.

Gaza paie le prix des guerres menées par les États-Unis et Israël au Moyen-Orient, qui se sont soldées par un échec. Alors que ces pays se sont enlisés au Liban et en Iran, Gaza a été reléguée au second plan, et les espoirs des Palestiniens de voir une fin au génocide se sont évanouis.
Six mois après le cessez-le-feu censé mettre fin à l'attaque contre Gaza, la bande de Gaza est figée dans un limbe post-apocalyptique.
