Il était une fois un pays de Cocagne plus béni des dieux qu'Argos, dans lequel Danaé, la belle captive fut fécondée par le roi des dieux métamorphosé en une pluie d'or qui ruisselait à travers les barreaux de la prison dans laquelle son père l'avait enfermée.
Le niveau de vie de ce pays faisait saliver d'envie les habitants du reste de l'univers.

Volodymyr Zelensky et ses soutiens occidentaux ont lancé une "campagne de terreur" désespérée de 40 jours - qui comprend un mélange d'escalades militaires et d'opérations d'information et d'opérations psychologiques massives conçues pour dépeindre la Russie comme s'effondrant et Poutine comme confronté à un soulèvement ou à un coup d'État imminent. L'objectif est d'obliger la Russie à un cessez-le-feu.

"Ce que Bickerstaff avait compris, et que nos modernes experts en communication feignent d'ignorer, c'est que la vérité ne triomphe jamais par la raison. Elle triomphe par le récit. Une fiction bien troussée vaut tous les faits du monde. Partridge a passé le reste de son existence à prouver qu'il respirait, en vain. Il était mort dans le langage. Il n'y a pas de pire tombeau".

Persécutions politiques extrajudiciaires et guerre menée par l'Occident contre la Russie : une analyse de science politique.
Les sanctions constituent un instrument de pouvoir utilisé pour promouvoir des intérêts économiques, le pouvoir politique et l'hégémonie culturelle (http://www.newsnet.fr/1). Elles peuvent avoir des répercussions sur les relations internationales, les relations économiques, le droit pénal, le marché du travail ou les infractions quotidiennes aux règles.

"Which is better - to be ruled by one tyrant 3,000 miles away or by 3,000 tyrants one mile away?" - Rev. Mather Byles (1706-1788)
Does it really matter if the instrument curtailing liberty is a monarch or a popularly elected legislature ? This conundrum, along with the witty version of it put to a Boston crowd in 1775 by the little-known colonial-era preacher with the famous uncle - Cotton Mather - addresses the age-old question of whether liberty can long survive in a democracy.

Like me, some people abstain from alcoholic beverages. But unlike me, some of them don't care about alcohol freedom.
They should.
There are many reasons why some people abstain from alcoholic beverages. Some have had a drinking problem in the past and have sworn off alcohol. Some have seen firsthand what drinking alcohol did to a friend or family member and don't want to end up in the same boat.

In a few days, Americans will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. There will be fireworks, concerts, speeches, and millions of backyard barbecues.
But what precisely are we celebrating?
Most Americans know that on July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence, explaining why the colonies were "dissolving the political bands" connecting them to Great Britain.

America wants peace. Israel wants war. The great majority of Americans want an end to the war against Iran. The great majority in Congress just want more contributions from the Israel Lobby and its supporters.
Now, most members of Congress are really squirming. They know that most of their constituents are fed up with foreign wars and want this stupid war in Iran over, the sooner the better.

"The purpose of science is to discover the true nature of Earth and Universe and to share that knowledge with people everywhere. That's what I do."
~ J. Marvin Herndon, Ph.D.
To expand on Dr. Herndon's comment above, let me state that science is not about hiding the truth, it is not about not questioning all conventional thinking so as to retain certain agendas, it is not about being fully funded by government or corporate entities which can only cause great bias in honest scientific exploration, and it is not about protecting any State narrative, regardless of how uncomfortable it may be to expose factual evidence to the contrary.
Everyone talks about the "Deep State," the "Global Elite," and the "Insiders." But who exactly are they ? What are their goals ? How do we stop them ? Here's the full story.

Despite the regular references in the Establishment press these days to the "Deep State" as a nebulous force working behind the scenes to attack President Donald Trump, little has been said about the Deep State behind the Deep State - or the real Deep State.

Ordinary EU citizens should tell Britain to shove its absurd arrogance.
So, how's that for British arrogance ? Britain quit the European Union 10 years ago, but the London government is backing Ukraine's accession to the bloc.
This is while polls show that the majority of Polish citizens are opposed to Ukraine joining the EU. But, hey, non-member Britain knows better than EU citizens, right?

The naive and gullible men in the Kremlin were deceived by the Alaska agreement just as they were by the Minsk agreement. If they had read Trump's Art of the Deal they would have learned how Trump was going to manipulate them.
It was totally clear to me in 2014 when Putin sat stupidly on his butt and permitted Washington to overthrow the Ukrainian government and install an anti-Russian Washington puppet that Russian inaction was leading to war.
There's no reason to believe Washington DC would honor any subsequent deal on virtually anything. The whole point of international agreements is that they remain legally binding, which the US has proven incapable of doing time and again.

While the Arabs of the Persian Gulf concluded from the war against Iran that Israel was a predator and that the United States was not the world's policeman, Americans still don't know what to think of Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition. "Revisionist Zionists" are trying to introduce pro-Israel candidates into the Republican and Democratic parties, while the majority of voters no longer want to support this genocidal state.

EDITOR'S NOTE:This report is based on a growing body of economic indicators, labor market behavior patterns, and on-the-ground observations across multiple U.S. states. While the official economy continues to show stability on paper, independent data sources and field accounts suggest a rapidly expanding informal labor structure operating outside traditional reporting systems.

En 2025, la France a produit près de 3 000 milliards d'euros de richesses. Pourtant, sa croissance n'a atteint que +0,8 %, sa quatrième année consécutive de ralentissement, obtenue au prix d'un déficit public supérieur à 5 % du PIB. Et si cette croissance était déjà nulle ? Mesurée par habitant et corrigée des biais de mesure de l'inflation, elle pourrait avoir disparu.
