International Man: Today, the political risks are growing rapidly. Having a 'Plan B'-a second residency, offshore assets, and a bolt-hole are crucial. But the global situation has changed substantially: immigration everywhere is more strict, and the options are becoming more limited.
Is the original idea of a Plan B dead ? Or is it just the execution getting more expensive, bureaucratized, and surveilled?"

In a free, market-based economy, there is no conflict between different industries, economic interests, or sectors of the economy. There is no "class conflict"-as Marx imagined it-because, thanks to the division of labor, voluntary trade and competition reward consumers, producers, and asset owners alike. This is what Ludwig von Mises called the "harmony of interests."

On 25 February 2026, I appeared on Glenn Diesen's podcast to talk about whether the US is likely to attack Iran, especially in light of his State of the Union address the previous evening (February 24). I made the argument that one could read Trump's address to signal that he is moving away from attacking Iran. Of course, one cannot be confident that is the case, but his rhetoric certainly pushes in that direction.

The Zionist American media such as NPR are blaming US Attorney General Bondi for withholding Epstein files in order to protect President Donald Trump.
Here are the charges from NPR, which has no evidence except its alleged "investigation" of documents that NPR claims exist, but which NPR has not seen:
"The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds.

When I was a wee lad back in America 1.0, I never noticed how poorly everything was run. When my parents bought anything, I don't remember them having to take it back because something was wrong with it. They certainly didn't spend a lot of time calling companies with automated menus, arguing with thickly accented "representatives."
Sometimes I feel like shouting, "Consarn it ! Who runs things around here?" Can I talk to the NIC, as we used to joke back when you could joke ? Btw, nobody used that expression more than my Black co-workers.

The Epstein files have revealed the names of many wealthy and prominent people within Jeffrey Epstein's orbit, many of whom are now justifiably going down because of their affiliations with Epstein.
But the real rot regarding Epstein relates to the extremely sweet sweetheart plea bargain he received from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Florida.

Moral flexibility accumulates. Over time, it leaves you compromised.
This is a guest essay by correspondent 0bserver. This series focuses on the realities of self-employment. In my view, everyone is self-employed to some degree now, whether they're aware of it or not.
At some point, I learned to draw a line. I do not do business with people who publicly signal virtue while treating their employees poorly.
This will inevitably delay the planned US aggression on Iran. Given this string of embarrassing flops, perhaps it's for the best for the Pentagon.

The United States military certainly isn't what it used to be. From a once-feared tool of multiple, virtually simultaneous invasions against the world just two-three decades ago, the Pentagon's ability to serve the interests of its Satanic pedophile-cannibalistic overlords is now increasingly challenged by its sheer incompetence.

Bill Gates is in damage-control mode thanks to his documented Jeffrey Epstein ties.
"I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit." This is what the software tycoon and amateur climate and vaccine expert said to Gates Foundation staff on Tuesday during a town hall, according to an exclusive by The Wall Street Journal. The Journal obtained a recording of the meeting.

This column is written each Tuesday evening prior to the Thursday publication. Therefore, I am not able to watch President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. I actually find that to be a blessing, as 4 or 5 minutes of watching Trump is about all I can stomach at any one time.

L'Unione Europea dice di voler "ridurre i rischi" nelle relazioni economiche globali, ma la transizione verde rende questa ambizione più difficile di quanto ammettano i suoi slogan. Senza cooperazione con la Cina, l'industria europea rischia ritardi, costi più alti e perdita di competitività.
Negli ultimi anni, il termine "de-risking" è entrato nel vocabolario politico europeo come formula rassicurante: non sarebbe "decoupling" (disaccoppiamento), non sarebbe rottura, ma una prudente diversificazione.

- A maioria dos brasileiros demonstra apreensão diante da possibilidade de os Estados Unidos adotarem medidas contra o Brasil semelhantes às aplicadas recentemente na Venezuela. O temor ganhou força após a ofensiva militar determinada por Donald Trump, presidente dos Estados Unidos, contra o país sul-americano, episódio que reacendeu o debate sobre soberania, direito internacional e o papel do governo brasileiro no cenário global.

Tanto en público como en privado, petistas y sectores oficialistas se muestran optimistas respecto a la reelección de Lula.

A finales de este año, Brasil celebrará elecciones generales. En público, el optimismo sobre la reelección del presidente Lula es prácticamente unánime entre los miembros del PT y los sectores más leales al gobierno.

Endorsing a negotiated settlement does not require the left to justify Russia's invasion or advocate legal recognition of its territorial gains.
A negotiated end to the Ukraine War now seems possible, if the last remaining obstacles can be overcome. Of these, the most important is Russia's demand that Ukraine leave the last remaining part of the Donbas region that it still holds.
