Barbarity is not external to the system, it lies at its very core, embedded in its logic of self-preservation, expansion, and reproduction.

When the West cloaks its geopolitical expansion in a veil of morality - presenting it as a civilizing mission, democratization, humanitarian intervention, the defense of freedom, or the promotion of the rule of law - the glaring gap between rhetoric and reality inevitably invites accusations of hypocrisy and "double standards." These accusations rest on a mistaken premise: that the Western capitalist system possesses a stable moral code it occasionally betrays.

Anfang letzter Woche ereignete sich im Dorf Petropawliwska Borschtschahiwka bei Kiew ein weiterer Vorfall, bei dem ukrainische Zivilisten ukrainische Militärangehörige angriffen. Mehr als hundert Zivilisten stürmten ein Privathaus, das ukrainischen Militärangehörigen zufolge als provisorische Unterkunft für Soldaten diente. Die Zivilisten forderten die Freilassung von Personen, die angeblich in dem Gebäude festgehalten wurden.

Everyone lives within hierarchies. They are natural and necessary. This is obvious in our daily working lives. This short video is good at explaining hierarchies in organizational structure, Jacob Morgan. Thinking way back in my life, I recall playing time on the high school baseball team as my first overt hierarchical experience. I am amazed that as a young 24 year-old engineer I had the foresight to keep a copy of the organization chart of Y-12 ENGINEERING BOMB SEARCH COORDINATORS shown below and the insight that this would be the highpoint of my organizational life.

Like most boys growing up in the South in the 1960s, I experienced the excitement of the "Civil War Centennial," with its numerous commemorations and re-enactments, the publication of literally hundreds of books and essays, and including considerable time in the classroom recalling events of a century past, but which in many ways in my mind's eye seemed only like yesterday.

Politicians break campaign promises with hardly any hesitation and usually they get away with it. Americans have come to put up with broken promises for so long, they hardly even seem to notice. Last week, however, voters noticed. They showed the Republican party just how angry they were over President Trump's decision to attack Iran and how angry they were with Congress for abandoning its Constitutional authority over matters of war and peace.

There is currently a standoff in the Middle East where Iran and its allies on one side, and the U.S., Israel and their proxies, are involved in a situation that is neither peace nor war.

The U.S. position on the war is currently vague. According to several news reports one faction (Hegseth et al.) within the Trump administration is pushing for more war. Another (Vance et al) is urging to conclude peace negotiations.

Vice President JD Vance made the surprising admission on social media that Trump administration's war with Iran was what caused the massive Democratic Party sweep of the midterm elections, stating plainly that "The reason we lost is the war."

Saying "the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone," Vance noted that a poll found Trump 2024 voters who ditched the president's party in 2026 gave four main answers to the question of what the Republicans could do to win them back: "1) End the war, 2) Focus on cost of living/inflation, 3) Put America First, 4) Change our relationship to Israel."

Such balkanization of our political life is both the cause and consequence of America's imperial ambitions. The midterms made plain what mass migration and client-state politics have done to the republic.

he elections of the past week surprised no one, and for good reason. The main issue driving voters, as many predicted, was inflation, brought on by the undeclared war the United States has been fighting with Iran for the past year and a half.

Thiel Warns of the Antichrist-And Builds the Cage, by Wendy Williamson

"I am an orthodox Christian, humble classical liberal with just one seemingly minor deviation from classical liberal orthodoxy: I am worried about the antichrist."
- Peter Thiel, qtd. in De Vynck and Itkowitz

Compare Thiel's analysis of the Antichrist with the article below:

1. La loi sur l'État-nation juif

L'une des lois fondamentales quasi-constitutionnelles d'Israël. Elle stipule que le droit à l'autodétermination en Israël et dans les territoires palestiniens occupés (Cisjordanie, Jérusalem-Est, Gaza) "est propre au peuple juif" et encourage la ségrégation raciale et la discrimination à l'encontre des Palestiniens en matière de logement, en chargeant l'État de promouvoir le "développement des colonies juives en tant que valeur nationale".

Par Karim Tabbou

Ce qui se déroule en Palestine dépasse l'horreur. C'est une tragédie humaine d'une ampleur inouïe, une honte pour l'humanité. Des centaines de milliers de Palestiniens ont été tués, dont des milliers de femmes et d'enfants. Gaza a été dévastée : quartiers réduits en ruines, hôpitaux détruits, familles entières anéanties.

Chassés de leurs maisons, des survivants ont fui à plusieurs reprises, sans refuge ni sécurité.
