Lorsqu'un pays traverse une période de doute profond, de désillusion et de lassitude envers ses institutions, une question finit toujours par s'imposer : comment croire encore au changement lorsque le cadre politique semble immobile, lorsque les décisions paraissent prises loin des préoccupations quotidiennes, lorsque la parole publique glisse sans laisser de traces ?

L'administration Trump a publié un document de la Maison Blanche détaillant les principes de politique étrangère et la stratégie de sécurité nationale des États-Unis.
Ce document de 33 pages, s'appuyant largement sur la politique de Trump « L'Amérique d'abord », a suscité l'inquiétude dans presque toutes les régions du monde, à l'exception probable d'Israël.

Frontières et voies de communication naturelles, ressources halieutiques, fertilité des sols, les grands fleuves présentent de précieux atouts autour desquels des civilisations se sont bâties. Sans les richesses tirées du Nil, le rayonnement des empires d'Égypte aurait été bien moindre. Si de nos jours, la valeur des grands fleuves se mesure encore à l'aune de leur potentiel commercial et nourricier, leur apport en eau prime sur les autres considérations, la mainmise sur cette précieuse ressource attise les convoitises.

Last week the Pentagon, under "War Secretary" Pete Hegseth, carried out yet another military attack on a boat in the high seas that the Administration claims is smuggling drugs. That makes 23 boats blown up by the US military in the waters off Latin America - most near Venezuela - and nearly 100 persons killed.
To date the US government has provided no evidence to back up its claim that these boats are smuggling fentanyl and other dangerous drugs into the United States.

Our introductory history textbooks sometimes highlight some of the strange and amusing stories of the past. I think that most students must have cracked a smile when they read their chapter on eighteenth century European history and came across "The War of Jenkins' Ear."
As its comprehensive Wikipedia article explains, that major conflict fought between Britain and Spain from 1739 to 1748 had been prompted by the mutilation of an alleged British smuggler by Spanish authorities a few years earlier, a brutal act that greatly outraged both the British people and their parliamentary representatives.

At a young age, after becoming aware of many of the issues in the world, I gradually got pulled into an addictive sea of negativity and frustration over how things were and the fact they kept getting worse. As this was not healthy or productive, in time, I decided the best way to cope with this situation was to shift my focus on what I could do to make things better and be at peace with the fact I was doing something rather than torn apart over everything I wished was different but was powerless to change.

All over the globe, the digital control grid that we are all living in just continues to get even tighter. They are using facial recognition technology to scan our faces, they are using license plate readers to track where we travel, they are systematically monitoring the conversations that we are having on our phones, and they are watching literally everything that we post on social media.

The US State Department has renamed the US Institute of Peace the Donald J Trump Institute of Peace, proclaiming that it did so "to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history."
"President Trump will be remembered by history as the President of Peace," tweeted Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the announcement.
Earlier this year the president's intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard made a similar social media post, tweeting that "President Trump IS the President of Peace.

When it comes, it comes on slowly
The day feels holy, a hush falls down
Whispered names, remembered faces
From desperate places, all gather 'round

Early morning and the first heavy snow is falling. It is beautiful. I walk around the lake in the holy hush. Alone except for two newly arrived ducks swimming on an open patch of icing water.

Yesterday, on Friday, a Reuters exclusive news-report about a potentially mega-historic change in America's international relations and the world's future, headlined "Exclusive and opened:
The United States wants Europe to take over the majority of NATO's conventional defense capabilities, from intelligence to missiles, by 2027, Pentagon officials told diplomats in Washington this week, a tight deadline that struck some European officials as unrealistic.

If President Trump's 2025 national security strategy document means anything, and I hope it does, the Union of Atomic Scientists can move back the hand on the doomsday clock a couple of hours. If President Trump's strategy can survive the opposition of interest groups and the ideological left of the Democratic Party, and is continued by his successors in office, President Trump has indeed changed the course of America and the world.

"Where two or more are gathered in the name of Man; that is civilization; that is Order; and that is the beginnings of brutality and suffering."
~ Christopher Dutton
My message today is a far cry from my normal effort to find truth and expose corruption, in that this will be more of a philosophical wandering. Maybe it is time to step back and take a hard look at the world, and the consuming nature of its madness and brutality that lives and breathes throughout every moment of our lives.
AI is a new tool for government elites' coercion. The rest of us will struggle, but we will prevail and grow freer.

To remain competitive, humans must show up.
Humans add the most value in high-income nations. In these nations, humans' total fertility rate has been below the replacement level of 2.1 since 1974.
On top of that, today's artificial narrow intelligence is a mixed bag.

Avec la végétation rasée et les ruches détruites, l'industrie apicole de Gaza lutte pour sa survie, tandis que les agriculteurs s'efforcent de maintenir en vie les abeilles restantes malgré le blocus et les bombardements israéliens.
Autrefois réputée pour ses vergers d'agrumes et son miel riche, l'industrie apicole de Gaza a été pratiquement réduite au silence par le génocide israélien à Gaza.

La capacité militaire de l'Ukraine à combattre la Russie sur le champ de bataille diminue rapidement, alors que font l'Ukraine et ses alliés de l'OTAN ? Produire encore plus de propagande insignifiante destinée à convaincre les Américains et Européens crédules que l'Occident doit continuer à fournir de l'aide économique et militaire à l'Ukraine parce que l'économie russe est en train d'imploser.
