A l'inverse de ce que la classe dominante et les groupes de pression qui lui sont attachés n'ont eu de cesse de nous faire croire, la monnaie n'est pas accessoire dans la marche de l'économie, au contraire elle y joue un rôle central puisqu'elle est son "moteur". Ainsi, c'est la façon dont le système monétaire a été configuré au fil du temps qui détermine les gagnants, l'étroite minorité qui en tire largement profit du fait qu'elle a réussi à se voir attribuer la maîtrise de la création monétaire, et les perdants, le peuple dans son ensemble qui, par ce moyen, est soumis, opprimé et maltraité par les grands, comme le disait Machiavel (1).

Mes ennemis ne sont pas en Iran. Mes ennemis sont à Washington et à Tel Aviv. À Londres et à Canberra.

Mes ennemis sont les oligarques occidentaux et les gestionnaires d'empire qui empoisonnent ma société et rendent tout infernal, tout en massacrant des êtres humains grâce à mes impôts.

Mes ennemis sont les tyrans qui transforment notre civilisation en une dystopie sous contrôle mental où il est de plus en plus illégal de critiquer les abus de mon gouvernement et de ses alliés, et de plus en plus difficile de trouver des informations qui contredisent le discours impérial.

Le kidnapping de Nicolas Maduro et de son épouse Cilia Flores relève d'une longue tradition coloniale : l'élimination par tous les moyens possibles de tout dirigeant qui engage son pays dans la voie de la résistance à la domination impérialiste. La question du droit international ne se pose même pas. Il n'est jamais respecté. Pas plus que celle de la démocratie : que ce dirigeant ait été élu démocratiquement ou pas, s'il n'est pas aux ordres, sa peau ne vaut pas cher.

Sara Awad, 14 mars 2026. Il y a un an, mes journées à Gaza étaient rythmées par la peur et l'angoisse permanente de survivre. Aujourd'hui, je dors et me réveille en Italie, dans la paix, après des mois passés à m'endormir sous les bombes et à me réveiller au son des frappes aériennes.

As is becoming clearer from President Trump's own statements and those of his staff, along with press reporting, the US has launched a major war without the input of the experts we pay to advise the President on such matters. The State Department, Pentagon, National Security Council Staff, Defense Intelligence Agency, and NSA were simply bypassed because, as White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said, President Trump "had a feeling" Iran would attack.

I feel one of the greatest issues in healthcare (which is a reflection of the society at large) is that things are so rushed that there isn't time for doctors to connect with their patients. Because of this, a lot of the most critical parts of medicine get missed, and I've known so many patients who were harmed by the medical system because of the 15 minute visit model.

The American-Israeli war against Iran began a couple of weeks ago and seemed very much a David-vs-Goliath contest, with combat operations likely to be extremely one-sided.

In recent years, America's annual military spending has been roughly a trillion dollars, while Iran's budget was merely $8 billion. Some estimates put Iran's true outlays as considerably higher, but hardly enough to level the playing field.

(Note: I published this article in June of 2023, but thought it appropriate to repost it today. One of my subscribers, had read and commented on it, so I thought I would share it as it is information pertinent to all in my opinion, especially given the tyrannical and totalitarian hell going on today.)

"Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners."

Do you remember Trump's 3-day war ? Do you remember his boast that US warships would guard oil shipments through the Hormuz Strait?

Well, now a "team effort" is required. Last Saturday Trump called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK and other countries to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz. The slam-dunk 3-day war has been replaced by the necessity of an "international coalition" to prevent the shutdown of the world economy.

My enemies are not in Iran. My enemies are in Washington and Tel Aviv. In London and Canberra.

My enemies are the western oligarchs and empire managers who are poisoning my society and making everything awful while slaughtering human beings with the help of my tax dollars.

Fear of an enemy -- real, perceived, exaggerated, or fabricated -- is the emotional incubator and superspreader of all mind viruses.

Yesterday Tucker Carlson announced that the CIA has been reading his text messages and may be preparing a criminal referral against him to the Department of Justice. As he explained.

The other day I found out that the CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me, a crime report to the Department of Justice on the basis of a supposed crime I committed.

It's the magic number, the line that's not supposed to be crossed; when a nation's public debt finally exceeds its GDP. Historically speaking, it's not a sign of doom like many economists suggest. Numerous countries have sustained for decades with a ratio of well over 100% and many other factors have to be considered before it's officially time to panic.

For the first time since Donald Trump declared a "state of emergency" six years ago, this weekend began with Friday the 13th and ends on the Ides of March. What could go wrong?

Yesterday afternoon, markets closed for the week. As my grandfather used to say when leaving four hours early to catch a flight at an airport twenty minutes away, "this is the part that makes me nervous."

Steve Walt and I originally published "The Israel Lobby" in The London Review of Books in March 2006. It was published on the internet on 17 March 2006 and then came out in a paper version on 23 March 2006.

As Micahel Massing said in "The Storm over The Israel Lobby," his 8 June 2006 essay of the article in The New York Review of Books: "Not since Foreign Affairs magazine published Samuel Huntington's 'The Clash of Civilizations?' in 1993 has an academic essay detonated with such force as 'The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy,' by professors John J.

Crime has long been a subject that sparks intense discussion across the United States. Even though the country is considered one of the most developed in the world, it continues to face serious challenges when it comes to public safety.

Dans une contribution à la fois historique et politique, Tancrède Josseran revient dans la revue française Conflits sur les ambitions persistantes de la Turquie dans la péninsule balkanique. La défaite turque lors des guerres balkaniques (1912-1913) fut perçue par beaucoup — y compris en Turquie — comme une véritable césure: si les Ottomans réussirent à conserver un petit bout de la Thrace, les défaites militaires mirent fin, à ce moment-là, au statut de l'Empire ottoman en tant que puissance européenne (du moins en partie).

Née Paula Michelle Furr le 20 avril 1966 à Tupelo, Mississippi, cette prédicatrice au brushing impeccable incarne aujourd'hui tout ce que le christianisme peut produire de plus clinquant et de plus contestable. Pasteure, auteure de livres qui trouveraient meilleure place au rayon développement personnel qu'en section théologie, et surtout télévangéliste rodée aux caméras, elle a bâti sa fortune sur la "théologie de la prospérité" - cette doctrine d'une simplicité biblique : plus vous donnez à Dieu (et accessoirement à son compte en banque à elle), plus Dieu vous bénit en richesses matérielles.
