Today, Moon of Alabama had this asits lead, article-"War On Iran: - 'New' Iran Demands Repeat MoU Conditions"-which was also the main topic of discussion by most alt-media podcasts. What was new was the tougher rhetoric and greater detailing of what was vaguer in the MOU, such as where combat is supposed to cease-Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq. Also, as Alastair Crooke was keen to note, the Iranians are now hip to the Trump Gang's method of market manipulation, so a tanker was attacked just prior to the 9am Eastern opening time as a reminder that Hormuz isn't a waterway open to all traffic as Trump continues to boast.

Il n'a fallu que quelques missiles yéménites tirés sur des raffineries saoudiennes pour réveiller les "dirigeants" de la Oumma ; pas les plus de 100 000 Palestiniens tués à Gaza par le culte de la mort.

Le pacte sunnite de La Mecque entre l'Arabie saoudite, la Turquie et le Pakistan reste un mystère. Ou une mise en scène douteuse et de mauvaise qualité - avec son lot de séances photo et un partage d'informations bien maigre.

Un projet de triangulation anti-iranienne fait abstraction des divisions au sein même du monde sunnite.

La signature, le 7 août à La Mecque, de l'accord de défense entre la Turquie, l'Arabie saoudite et le Pakistan a été présentée comme la naissance potentielle d'une nouvelle architecture de sécurité pour le monde islamique. Ce pacte stipule qu'une attaque contre l'un de ces trois pays sera considérée comme une attaque contre l'ensemble d'entre eux, instaurant ainsi un principe de défense collective.

Alors que la France se retire du Burkina Faso et que la Russie signe des pactes de défense avec le Sahel, l'UE fait face à une remise en question critique. Dans un entretien exclusif, le député européen Verougstraete admet que l'Europe a "perdu de l'influence" mais soutient que la solution ne consiste pas à rivaliser avec les chèques de la Chine - mais à déchirer le manuel du donneur-receveur.

Il avait un taxi à prendre. La pluie commençait à frapper la vitre. Il a cliqué sur "J'accepte".

Personne n'aurait pu le blâmer. Les conditions générales s'étalaient sur douze pages qu'il n'avait ni le temps ni la lumière pour lire. Ce n'était pas de la paresse. C'était de l'économie pure : il y avait un taxi à prendre, la rue devenait rivière, et le monde réel, celui qui mouille les épaules et gâte les souliers, attendait derrière cette formalité numérique.

À l'âge où Nizan lançait son brûlot contre la société bourgeoise qui contraignait sa jeunesse à s'inscrire dans un projet de ruine, Salomé Saqué publiait "sois jeune et tais-toi" (Payot 2023), enquête sur la condition de la jeunesse.

Sa lecture récente m'a impressionné. L'auteur-rice est fusionnellement alignée sur les intervenants qu'elle convie. Elle en est même innocemment une synthèse...

Les forces d'occupation israéliennes ont mené de nouvelles attaques dans le sud du Liban durant la nuit, avec des tirs d'artillerie et des frappes aériennes visant plusieurs zones. Le régime israélien poursuit ainsi sa campagne destructrice dans la région, malgré l'accord-cadre et les négociations directes entre Beyrouth et Tel-Aviv.

Dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi, l'artillerie israélienne a ciblé le Wadi Zibqin et les environs de la colline Ali al-Taher, dans le sud du Liban, a rapporté vendredi 14 août la chaîne d'information libanaise Al Mayadeen.

Numerose analisi, compresa la valutazione dell'intelligence spagnola, sostengono che Rabat abbia volutamente lasciato passare l'ondata migratoria verso Ceuta, sfruttandola a fini geopolitici. Intorno a Ceuta emerge una convergenza documentata fra interessi marocchini, statunitensi e israeliani, con il Sahara Occidentale al centro.

A pochi giorni dall'ondata migratoria che ha travolto Ceuta, il quadro comincia a diventare più nitido.

International Man: Markets are supposed to reflect economic reality. But when central banks suppress interest rates, governments debase currencies, and major powers manipulate oil prices for political purposes, can any market still be considered honest?

Doug Casey: Almost all markets are distorted in some way by government intervention.

Interest rates are the price of money itself.

While the Everything Bubble has soared to new heights, consumer confidence has fallen to new lows.

For your consideration, four charts that tell a single story: while those Americans who have benefited so immensely from the Everything Bubble in stocks, housing, crypto, bat guano, etc.-every asset under the sun-have spent lavishly on fripperies, the foundations of everyday life for the bottom 90% have rotted away.

There's a slow-motion tragedy unfolding in many California cities, and no doubt in other cities across our nation.

And for my subscribers who are wondering why I haven't been writing new articles of late, here's my overdue explanation: My own tranquil suburb of Menlo Park, a bedroom community tucked away in a quiet corner of Silicon Valley, has been targeted for suburb-wrecking urbanization, and I've chosen to don my activist hat in the David vs.

This chapter in American history could be titled, "The Bad Guys Keep Winning Because They Suffer No Consequences for Their Treachery."

Islamo-fascists and communists have taken over the Democrat Party and threaten to take over the U.S. Congress. Neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton has been brought to justice for conspiring with parts of the Intelligence Community to frame President Trump as a Russian spy.

Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Oz, a dual citizen of Turkey and the US, is head of Medicaid, a federal program that provides health care for the uninsured poor.

Taiwan began seriously examining Ukraine's battlefield experience after Russia invaded in 2022. Taipei has since partnered with Auterion, the American-German drone software company whose systems have been tested under actual combat conditions in Ukraine. Auterion CEO Lorenz Meier stated, "What we offer has been battle-tested in Ukraine to deter aggression and destroy tanks, naval vessels, and other truly expensive equipment." That is precisely the lesson Taiwan needs.

COVID exposed many shocking failures across society, but the most eye-opening was the suppression of scientific inquiry by the so-called scientists.

For over six years, I have written about the Covid debacle. In the spring of 2020, when questioning lockdowns, masking policies, Anthony Fauci, or the recommendations and policies of the World Health Organization, I was met with accusations of being "anti-science" and supporting conspiracy theories.

Long before he became secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had determined to figure out a way to upend the crowded childhood vaccine schedule and replace it with one based on "gold standard" science. On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order (EO) titled "Delivering gold standard childhood vaccine recommendations for Americans." Kennedy was right behind him.
