Le nouveau secrétaire d'État américain, Marco Rubio, a récemment déclaré que la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) constituait "une menace existentielle pour les États-Unis et nos alliés". Il a juré d'utiliser toute la puissance de la diplomatie et des ressources financières américaines pour "démanteler la CPI, brique par brique, si nécessaire ".

Cette déclaration marque une nouvelle escalade agressive dans l'assaut de longue date mené par les États-Unis contre le système de justice internationale.

L'administration Trump prépare le terrain pour mettre sur liste noire et criminaliser toute dissidence de gauche, progressiste, pacifiste et anti-impérialiste.

Le rapport de 100 pages du département d'État sur la "campagne de subversion" menée par Cuba contre les États-Unis, ainsi que l'affirmation de Donald Trump selon laquelle "les Américains ont été ouvertement trompés sur la sécurité de notre infrastructure électorale", jettent les bases d'une dictature.

One of the defining failures of modern American government has been the steady erosion of Congress's constitutional authority over war. The Constitution grants Congress - not the president - the power to declare war. Congress decides to go to war. The president wages it.

Over the past several decades, presidents of both major parties have increasingly treated military intervention as an executive prerogative rather than a congressional requirement.

Investigative journalist Mary Fanning presents the indisputable forensic evidence of a massive cyberattack during the 2020 Election that stole millions of votes from Donald Trump, showing the IP addresses of the attackers, visible in the data logs, of which there are thousands of pages. You can read her article about it here.

The logs record the origin IPs, the computer ID at the origin, the target IP, the target device ID, what kind of intrusion was attempted and whether or not it was successful.

As readers know, I am disappointed in US, European, British, Russian, and Iranian foreign policy analysts inside and outside of government, and most likely also the Chinese if I knew more about them. They dwell in false narratives that John Helmer terms "hopium."

Opposed to the false narratives stand myself, John Helmer, and Gilbert Doctorow, three against many.

Epic Fury is only the latest round of an ongoing international armed conflict with Iran. As the United States has explained in multiple letters to the U.N. Security Council, including most recently on March 10, the United States is engaged in this conflict at the request of and in the collective self-defense of its Israeli ally, as well as in

Nothing he says is taken seriously, as Tehran knows all along that Trump is always creating distractions.

The coming days and weeks will see Trump lower himself in the acid bath of what analysts call the 'escalation trap'. Many analysts comment that he has already fallen on his sword in the Iran war, as his fantasy of bringing Tehran to its knees - served up by Israel's PM Netanyahu - has proved to be the greatest deception in U.S.-Israeli relations since the birth of the entity in 1948.

Téhéran a adressé début avril à Washington, via le Pakistan, une demande officielle de retrait des forces de combat américaines des bases militaires de la région. Il faisait partie d'un ensemble de mesures parallèles à la levée de toutes les sanctions et des résolutions de l'ONU, à la libération des avoirs iraniens détenus à l'étranger, aux réparations et au droit de l'Iran à l'enrichissement nucléaire.

La dernière guerre sans fin menée par les États-Unis continue de ravager le Moyen-Orient. Pour la dixième nuit consécutive, les forces américaines bombardent l'Iran. Selon le New York Times, ces échanges de tirs ont causé un nombre de blessés parmi les troupes américaines bien supérieur à celui reconnu par le Pentagone.

Le président Trump affirme que "chaque fois que l'Iran tue un soldat américain, il le paiera au centuple", tout en garantissant de nouvelles représailles iraniennes.

De 1932 à 1935, la vaste plaine du Chaco, supposée riche en pétrole, fut l'enjeu d'une guerre meurtrière entre la Bolivie et le Paraguay. La Bolivie fut soutenue dans son effort de guerre par les compagnies pétrolières étatsuniennes, désignées comme le cartel des sept sœurs, alors que le Paraguay fut armé par les compagnies pétrolières britanniques.

I recently drove to a gas station in Massachusetts to fill my tank with regular gas, the cheapest around, and, to my surprise, given what's going on, it was only $4.59 a gallon.

Okay, okay, I take back that "only" and admit it. It's not good to joke about the nightmare of gas prices these days. But in truth, that may indeed still prove to be the good news, since Donald Trump remains at war (or perhaps at chaos) with Iran, a country a mere 6,300 miles or so from Washington, D.C., and so crucial to American power on this distinctly overheating planet of ours (right?).

What we do know is that things have internal structures with dynamics that operate whether we "like" them or not.

Correspondent Manoj S. recommended an essay from the always-insightful John Michael Greer on the dissolution of unproductive classes behind the smokescreen of AI: A Game of Musical Chairs

"You can sell Americans on anything, no matter how wretchedly unsatisfactory it is, by labeling it as progress.

One of the dumbest popular narratives you see today is the idea that Zionists persuaded a reluctant Trump to start a war with Iran after he was re-elected, like they were chasing him around going "Would you like to bomb Iran?" like the guy from Green Eggs and Ham while he yelled "Not in a...

America's latest forever war continues to ravage the middle east as US forces bomb Iran for the tenth consecutive night in a series of exchanges which The New York Times reports have caused a significantly higher number of injuries to US troops than the Pentagon has acknowledged.

Mouthing the usual collection of Trump lies about the evil of Iran, Trump says the New York Mayor will not be allowed to arrest the indicted War Criminal Netanyahu when he lands in New York to give Trump Israel's latest orders. The American president shows pride in being Israel's puppet.

As both Trump and Biden enabled and financed the Palestinian Genocide, shouldn't both also be arrested ? Why only the Israeli War Criminal ? Why not also the two American presidents who made it possible ? Israel has no more Palestinian blood on its hands than do Biden and Trump.

Flannery O'Connor, who had an admirable propensity for being honest, made the remark that "the truth will make you odd." She would not be surprised, if she were around today, to learn that a dubious student-led protest was sufficient for authorities to remove her name from one of the residence halls at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore. More than 80 scholars and authors signed a letter protesting the change.

Tehran delivered to Washington via Pakistan in early April, a formalized demand for the withdrawal of US combat forces from military bases across the region. It sat in a package alongside the lifting of all sanctions and UN resolutions, the release of Iranian assets held overseas, reparations, and Iran's right to nuclear enrichment.

Instead of waiting for the US to agree to the demand, Iran has launched targeted attacks during the past two weeks on key US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
