When the World Sleeps, a book (256 pages), was published by Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur for Gaza, in April 2026.
It is a personal and political account of Palestine that combines ten human stories with Francesca's own reflections as a UN special rapporteur.
It focuses on Palestinian daily life under occupation, the legacy of the 1948 Nakba (catastrophe in Arabic) and its continued impact.
Did Trump Finally Drop the 'Pacifist' Act ?
True "peace candidates" in American politics are almost all gone, replaced by warmongers with megaphones and dangerously inflated delusions of grandeur. The question arises - is Trump one of them ?

It's common knowledge that Donald Trump always came across as the "peace candidate". His sweeping criticism of America's "forever wars" (particularly in the Middle East) reinforced the image of a realpolitik, no-nonsense politician with a crystal-clear vision for a firmly reformed US foreign policy that would ensure global peace.

The Forgotten Side of Medicine
July 14, 2026
The years I have spent studying the medical industry have made me appreciate how often economic principles can allow one to understand its complex and contradictory behavior. For example, I believe many of the inconsistencies in medical ethics (e.g., "mothers have an absolute right to abort their children" and "mothers cannot refuse to vaccinate their children because it endangers their child's life") can be explained by simply acknowledging that whatever makes money is deemed "ethical."

"You had to live-did live, from habit that became instinct-in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."-George Orwell, 1984
While Americans remain transfixed by the political circus-cheering for their preferred party, jeering at the opposition, obsessing over every manufactured outrage and waiting for the next spectacle-the Surveillance State continues its steady march forward.
Post-Literate, Post-Numerate: Where Will It End ?
With the internet, with a smartphone in your back pocket, with social media and YouTube and all the rest, we now have two-way, many-to-many communication. For the first time ever.

This week, all the advanced thinkers agree that kids are reading less and we are entering a post-literate age. It must be true; the Atlantic says so.
Kindergarten teachers say that many of their students don't know nursery rhymes or fairy tales[.]

The political mood across Europe is beginning to shift, and even governments that have strongly backed Ukraine are discovering that public opinion has its limits. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has reportedly argued that Rome must place the soaring cost of living, particularly energy and fuel bills, ahead of expanding military commitments before next year's elections.
Did Homeschooling in America Start With Catholic Parents ?
The natural duty and right to educate your children according to your beliefs can easily be lost, once again, if we are not vigilant.

In the fall of 1974, new "language arts" textbooks appeared throughout the school system in Kanawha County, West Virginia. They fostered a new value system, different from traditional morality.
Parents were upset that open-ended questions like "When is it okay to steal?" were suggested as teacher discussion topics in schoolbooks.
American Democracy Has Proven Itself To Be a Fraud

In my younger days conservatives and libertarians contrasted government unfavorably with private business. Government consisted of black hat guys and business of white hat guys. If government won, tyranny would be the result. If business won, liberty would stay alive.
Conservatives and libertarians saw power as something that government wanted, but not business.

n my previous article I wrote about the fact that, from the perspective of political science, the evidence shows that the so-called "economic elite" dominate a "biased pluralist" system of governance.
We live in nation states that operate as functional oligarchies.
Hiding behind the anonymity afforded to them by the major investment houses and their think tanks-using the Chatham House rule-oligarchs govern largely unseen.

L'Europe finance la destruction de Gaza
L'Union européenne a annoncé lundi la levée de quelque 900 millions d'euros censément destinés à la "reconstruction au long cours" de la bande de Gaza.
Cette annonce, baptisée "Team Gaza Initiative", est une mystification et une nouvelle marque de la complicité des dirigeants européens avec le régime génocidaire israélien.
D'abord, parce que c'est à celui qui a détruit, à savoir Israël, de paye
Vers un changement de perspective
Davy Hoyau
La question qui se pose, est celle de fonder la valeur sur les indicateurs. Il faut en étudier la faisabilité. Cette faisabilité nécessite une motivation. Et cette motivation est d'y trouver une solution, à un problème déjà amplement étayé, qui est l'inanité du capitalisme.
L'effondrement biotopique est inévitable si la production continue à ne rien devoir à personne, et à puiser dans les ressources naturelles et humaines jusqu'à leur épuisement.
Mali-Algérie : pourquoi Bamako et Alger ont choisi de tourner la page de quinze mois de crise
Komla YAWO
Après quinze mois de tensions diplomatiques, le Mali et l'Algérie ont décidé de renouer le dialogue. Les deux pays ont annoncé le 10 juillet dernier le retour de leurs ambassadeurs respectifs et la réouverture de leurs espaces aériens, mettant fin à une crise qui avait profondément détérioré leurs relations. Ce rapprochement est le fruit de plusieurs initiatives de médiation conduites par des dirigeants africains, notamment le Togo et la République du Congo.
La chronologie de Lindsey Graham ne tient pas la route... Il est mort à Kiev
Intrigue au paradis de la post-vérité
Journal dde.crisis de Philippe Grasset
13 juillet 2026 - On parle de la mort du célébrissime Sénateur-combattant Lindsay Graham et l'on remet sur ce sujet à nouveau de nombreuses références à Andrew Korybko qui s'y est beaucoup intéressé. Il l'a d'ailleurs fait d'une façon intéressante, en s 'attachant aux réactions obsessionnelles des réseaux sociaux, nombreuses et variées pour ce cas, mais en subissant des attaques ukrainiennes officielles.
