International Man: Today, the political risks are growing rapidly. Having a 'Plan B'-a second residency, offshore assets, and a bolt-hole are crucial. But the global situation has changed substantially: immigration everywhere is more strict, and the options are becoming more limited.
Is the original idea of a Plan B dead ? Or is it just the execution getting more expensive, bureaucratized, and surveilled?"

In a free, market-based economy, there is no conflict between different industries, economic interests, or sectors of the economy. There is no "class conflict"-as Marx imagined it-because, thanks to the division of labor, voluntary trade and competition reward consumers, producers, and asset owners alike. This is what Ludwig von Mises called the "harmony of interests."

On 25 February 2026, I appeared on Glenn Diesen's podcast to talk about whether the US is likely to attack Iran, especially in light of his State of the Union address the previous evening (February 24). I made the argument that one could read Trump's address to signal that he is moving away from attacking Iran. Of course, one cannot be confident that is the case, but his rhetoric certainly pushes in that direction.

The Zionist American media such as NPR are blaming US Attorney General Bondi for withholding Epstein files in order to protect President Donald Trump.
Here are the charges from NPR, which has no evidence except its alleged "investigation" of documents that NPR claims exist, but which NPR has not seen:
"The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds.

When I was a wee lad back in America 1.0, I never noticed how poorly everything was run. When my parents bought anything, I don't remember them having to take it back because something was wrong with it. They certainly didn't spend a lot of time calling companies with automated menus, arguing with thickly accented "representatives."
Sometimes I feel like shouting, "Consarn it ! Who runs things around here?" Can I talk to the NIC, as we used to joke back when you could joke ? Btw, nobody used that expression more than my Black co-workers.
This will inevitably delay the planned US aggression on Iran. Given this string of embarrassing flops, perhaps it's for the best for the Pentagon.

The United States military certainly isn't what it used to be. From a once-feared tool of multiple, virtually simultaneous invasions against the world just two-three decades ago, the Pentagon's ability to serve the interests of its Satanic pedophile-cannibalistic overlords is now increasingly challenged by its sheer incompetence.

Bill Gates is in damage-control mode thanks to his documented Jeffrey Epstein ties.
"I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit." This is what the software tycoon and amateur climate and vaccine expert said to Gates Foundation staff on Tuesday during a town hall, according to an exclusive by The Wall Street Journal. The Journal obtained a recording of the meeting.

This column is written each Tuesday evening prior to the Thursday publication. Therefore, I am not able to watch President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. I actually find that to be a blessing, as 4 or 5 minutes of watching Trump is about all I can stomach at any one time.

A series of failed policy decisions from Trump have led us to the Mexican standoff with Iran.
A series of failed policy decisions from Trump have led us to the Mexican standoff with Iran. What is more worrying than miscalculation now is a decision which is made for him.
There is nothing that Donald Trump likes more than to create a fever pitch drama which focuses all attention on himself as the key player and the only one who has the solution.

Lorsque l'American Petroleum Institute (API) a réuni des dirigeants de l'industrie pétrolière et des lobbyistes pour un sommet sur youtube , le 16 janvier 2026, le paysage géopolitique semblait changer radicalement en leur faveur. Cependant, un participant à la plus importante conférence annuelle de lobbying du cartel de l'extraction des ressources a déclaré à The Grayzone que les participants se plaignaient en privé des tentatives brutales du président Donald Trump d'orienter leur programme, en particulier au Venezuela, où il a exigé qu'ils redémarrent immédiatement les opérations.

Washington s'apprête à engager 12,6 milliards de dollars supplémentaires pour intensifier la surveillance militaire de la Chine dans le cyberespace, dans l'espace et sous les océans. Cette décision s'ajoute à un budget de défense déjà colossal et marque une nouvelle escalade stratégique assumée.

When President Donald Trump first announced that he had ordered the Pentagon to attack fishing boats and speedboats on the high seas which he said carried dangerous drugs destined for willing buyers in the United States, many of us who monitor the government for its indifference to the Constitution perceived it as truly criminal and utterly scandalous.

A just war, in Murray Rothbard's view, "exists when a people tries to ward off the threat of coercive domination by another people, or to overthrow an already-existing domination." Like all wars, a just war is laced with dangers beyond the inferno of the battles, especially if war funding relies to a significant degree on the printing press. The American Revolution is a case in point.

On May 19, the voters of northern Kentucky will decide what type of Republican they'll elect to the House of Representatives: a party loyalist or a constitutionalist.
Since 2012, the people within Kentucky's 4th Congressional District have chosen a rare breed of politician - a principled one. Thomas Massie is one of a handful of House members who take the U.S.

A declassified, seven page document titled "Special Research for Artichoke" has been making waves. For those unfamiliar with Project Artichoke, it began in 1951, during the tenure of CIA director Walter Bedell Smith and Scientific Director, Dr. H. Marshall Chadwell. The code name "Artichoke" was inspired by New York City gangster Ciro Terranova, AKA "the Artichoke King."

Four weeks ago, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened the Islamic Republic of Iran with another attack over its nuclear program.
It was a mistake because, as I explained, Iran is no easy target:
Iran however is also ready. It has increased its missile forces. It has promised to use it against U.S. positions in the Middle East and against Israel in retaliation to any attack.

Non, mon pote, cette guerre américaine au Moyen-Orient sera complètement différente. Tu vois, cette fois, le régime dont on essaie de se débarrasser est VRAIMENT MAUVAIS !
Non, non, ce n'est pas du tout comme toutes les autres fois. Cette fois, l'intervention militaire pour renverser un gouvernement pétrolier d'Asie occidentale mènera à la paix et à la démocratie.

No no, this is nothing like all those other times. This time military interventionism to topple an oil-rich government in west Asia will lead to peace and democracy. Our soldiers will be greeted as liberators!
No bro this US war in the middle east will be completely different, bro. See, this time the regime we're trying to get rid of is REALLY BAD!

Commençons par répondre à cette question : pourquoi l'Occident s'acharne-t-il ainsi sur l'Iran ?
Évitons les banalités sur la démocratie, les droits des femmes et autres thématiques façon Soros. Intéressons-nous aux véritables causes, celles dont les médias ne parlent pas.
D'abord il y a Israël et son influence, notamment via sa diaspora, sur l'ensemble de la politique occidentale.
