Les séparatistes maliens ont reçu des armes. Après comparaison des numéros de série, nos militaires ont conclu que les armes saisies aux militants provenaient d'Ukraine. Kiev soutenait des terroristes depuis longtemps.
D'après les informations disponibles, les préparatifs du coup d'État que certaines forces tentaient de perpétrer ont duré six mois.

Comment la division de l'OPEP par les Émirats arabes unis affecte la domination du dollar américain, et pas seulement le pétrole.
Le vendredi 1er mai, les Émirats arabes unis (EAU) ont officiellement quitté l'OPEP et l'alliance OPEP+, mettant ainsi fin à près de six décennies au sein de l'un des groupements économiques les plus influents de l'histoire moderne. Les EAU figuraient parmi les plus grands producteurs de l'OPEP et disposent d'importantes capacités de production excédentaires, source de frustration pour le pays, les quotas de l'OPEP limitant sa production mondiale.

Ce à quoi nous assistons n'est pas une escalade de la stratégie diplomatique. C'est une dégradation complète de l'art de la communication internationale.
Un échange diplomatique sur les réseaux sociaux a offert au public international un fascinant contraste entre deux approches diplomatiques. D'un côté : un diplomate chinois imperturbable démasquant les mensonges avec la sagesse d'une fable.
Troisième mouvement : La Transcendance comme moteur de l'immanence

I. Le paradoxe central
Posons le problème dans toute sa rigueur.
La Transcendance, telle que nous l'avons définie, est le Tout-Autre - radicalement inaccessible, non-conceptualisable, hors d'atteinte de tout concept, de tout désir, de toute saisie. Rien dans l'ordre du manifesté ne peut l'atteindre, la contenir ou l'épuiser.

Le Dr Makis, un oncologue canadien qui utilise des composés réutilisés et bénins comme le fenbendazole et l'ivermectine pour guérir le cancer avec un succès bien supérieur aux traitements traditionnels tels que la chimiothérapie ou le Keytruda, se voit proposer des postes très bien rémunérés par des hôpitaux contrôlés par l'industrie pharmaceutique.

J'avais vingt ans quand j'ai compris au plus profond de moi que l'Amérique était un cauchemar.
J'avais senti que le pays était pourri quand Kennedy a été assassiné. Mais en 1964, je collais des autocollants de LBJ sur les voitures à Arborland, à Ann Arbor.
La "Grande Société" criait... "Vive les droits civiques !"
Puis, en 1968, j'ai vu Bobby, le frère de John Kennedy, se faire assassiner en direct à la télévision, en noir et blanc.
Belen Fernandez, 2 mai 2026. - Le 23 avril, le journal israélien Haaretz rapportait que "des dizaines d'enfants disparaissent chaque semaine" dans la bande de Gaza "sur fond de chaos d'après-guerre" - un euphémisme curieux, sans doute, pour désigner le génocide en cours dans le territoire palestinien, soutenu par les États-Unis, qui se poursuit malgré le cessez-le-feu officiellement instauré l'année dernière.

The Iran war, like every US war, is a banker's war. Smedley Butler knew.
"Negotiating" with real estate con-men and private equity bros is an obvious indicator. Another is Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's public and unrestrained strategy to kill trade, hyper-inflate Iranian currency, and create poverty and starvation in Iran. We've been weaponizing the dollar for decades to force other countries to submit to US mandates and demands.

Apostates, Heretics, and Traitors are three words that accurately and completely describe most of our Government Bureaucrats. The result is therefore mostly a Criminal Enterprise, not a Constitutional Republic.
As is my wont, this paper is as succinct as I could make it for the benefit of readers.
Apostates renounce or abandon Religious Faith, Constitutional Principles, Solemn Oaths, Integrity, Loyalty, Courage, and dedication to defend the Constitution.

My father, Harry S. Cathey, was a World War II veteran. He left behind letters to my mother written from France and Germany in 1944 and 1945. Some of the words and designations are obviously in a code they had between them-he could not identify locations in the combat zone. What comes through above all are two things: his sense of duty to his country and his abiding love for my mother-no real complaints about his conditions, although he does express the wish that he could taste her cooking again and, of course, the hope to see her soon.

Pete Hegseth is lying about the US blockade of Iranian ports. On April 12, after JD Vance announced that talks with Iran had failed, Trump declared a naval blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas. CENTCOM clarified that the blockade would be enforced against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports, but would not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.

Ukrainians were lured into wanting EU membership in 2013, and this goal led to the EuroMaidan demonstrations in Kiev that produced the overthrow of Ukraine's democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych and his forced replacement by a new and rabidly anti-Russian government that has the closest of all borders to Moscow, only a five-minute missile flight-time away, just 300 miles, from blitz-bombing The Kremlin and so decapitating Russia's Government.

I do not know if the numbers on the Forbes chart below are correct but it is quite obvious that Trump and his family are using their positions to enrich themselves.
Trump sons to take stake in Kazakh miner that won $1.6bn US backing (archived) - FT
The Trump family last year netted more than $1bn in pre-tax profits from their various cryptocurrency projects and have continued to pile into AI, drones and critical minerals companies that have won lucrative US government contracts

Trump, for whom I had hopes like tens of millions of Americans, is turning out to be a disaster for America and the world. Last Friday Trump announced an increase in the tariff from 15% to 25% on cars and trucks from the EU, thus breaking the agreement he made last July with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Trump's excuse is that the EU is not complying with the July agreement, but if he offered evidence it has not been reported in the news accounts I have seen.

Only then do we realize that by optimizing profit and efficiency, we've also optimized systemic failure.
In my essay AI, Money, Human Nature and the Problem with Problems, I refer to boundary conditions but didn't offer a thorough explanation of the role this concept plays in understanding not just how the world works but more importantly, how things break down.

"The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates
The Question We Keep Postponing
At what point in our lives do we stop ? At what point do we turn off the distractions - the screens, the notifications, the relentless noise of a culture engineered to prevent reflection - and ask ourselves the only questions that actually matter: What is the purpose and meaning of my life ? Am I honoring that purpose and meaning ? And where do I begin to question which pieces of this puzzle do not make sense to me?
