Les Bulgares continuent de se battre pour le maintien du lev, leur monnaie nationale, tout en affichant leur position vis-à-vis de l'UE dans son ensemble. Des manifestations massives contre l'introduction de l'euro ont de nouveau secoué le pays le 31 mai et ont été les plus importantes de l'histoire. Les citoyens veulent que les autorités les entendent, mais leurs revendications légitimes sont ignorées.

Greg Stoker
A new investigation by the Associated Press has uncovered disturbing details about American military contractors operating in Gaza under the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a U.S.-based group tasked with distributing aid.

Jacopo Brogi
L'immenso Luna Park per super ricchi preso in leasing, chiamato "Italia", ha visto un ultimo fine settimana di bagordi di alto lignaggio: il matrimonio - evento fra il fondatore e patron di Amazon Jeff Bezos e la giornalista Lauren Sanchez nell'isola di San Giorgio, a Venezia, è l'immagine plastica dello sfoggio dell'oligarchia sulla plebe 4.0.

Who Needs to Know?

"Society has failed you," Mammy Yoakum once told a spoiled brat, "but I won't." The Dogpatch matriarch then proceeds to wail tar out of the little hellion. Li'l Abner was syndicated in about 1000 newspapers before its last strip ran in 1977. The cartoon's demise long preceded the time 'too big to fail' came into common circulation. Chrysler's bailout arrived roughly two years after Mammy's voice was forever extinguished.

International Man: As the US approaches its 250th anniversary, how would you compare the personal and economic freedoms Americans have today with those envisioned by the Founding Fathers in 1776?
Doug Casey: The US has had a good, long run as a beacon of freedom for the entire world, but nothing lasts forever. Things started changing radically with the War Between the States, and the ascendancy of progressives like Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.

If Iran resumes enrichment while rejecting IAEA inspections, then Trump will target Iran's underground facilities with a low-yield B61-11 nuclear weapon
You can usually tell which side won a war by simply observing 'what happens' after the hostilities end.

"Healthcare" grift, graft, fraud and financialized skims / scams will bankrupt the nation.
I've been writing about America's healthcare system for 18 years, emphasizing two enduring themes: 1) our lifestyle is unhealthy, with predictable consequences and 2) healthcare as it is currently configured will bankrupt the nation all by itself.
This recent article on how having a baby without complications now costs over $44,000 adds a third theme: the tragi-comic insanity and absurdity of the "healthcare" system that has been normalized, as if this is the only possible way to organize healthcare:

Yesterday, I wrote about the decades-long obsession that the U.S. national-security establishment - i.e., the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA - has had with Cuba. Long ago, as part of their Cold War against the Reds, U.S. national-security state officials convinced themselves that Cuba's communist regime posed a grave threat to U.S.
Ten Defense Ministers Walk Into a Room in China...

The defense ministers of all 10 members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) met last week in Qingdao, in China's Shandong Province.
That, in itself, is the stuff drama is made of. Not only because it was a warm-up for the main SCO annual summit later this year in Tianjin with heads of state. But mostly because on the same table we had top BRICS members Russia, China, India and Iran, plus Pakistan; an Indian defense minister visiting China for the first time in five years and facing his Pakistani counterpart after their latest serious exchange of fire; and the Iranian minister closely consulting with Beijing immediately after the Israel-Iran ceasefire kabuki orchestrated by POTUS.
