La fin d'une médiation
Il fut un temps où la politique américaine fonctionnait comme un écosystème de médiations.
Les "boss" des machines urbaines, les prêtres de quartier, les délégués syndicaux, les élus locaux issus des rangs populaires jouaient un rôle de traducteurs :
ils parlaient la langue de leurs électeurs, partageaient leurs références, incarnaient leurs aspirations devant des instances parfois lointaines.

At 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, President Trump posted a home video announcing that he was declaring war on Iran. Many Americans were shocked at the news in part because the Constitution requires congressional approval for taking the nation to war. In the weeks before the attack, the Pentagon press office helped distract public attention by promoting exercise videos.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth gave one of his signature "I don't have a small penis" tirades at the Pentagon on Wednesday, ranting and raving about the big, powerful, masculine war machinery that's currently raining death and destruction upon the people of Iran.

Just as the whore media told us for three years that Ukraine was winning and Russia's defeat was imminent, we are now hearing that Iran's defeat is imminent. If so, why is Trump now speaking about sending in American troops ? Why is the CIA offering large bribes to Kurd leaders to send Kurdish men to die for Israel in Iran ? Why are executives of American armament companies suddenly summoned to the Pentagon to see how quickly Washington's depleted supply of missiles can be overcome ? Why have Japan and South Korea been ordered to return to the United States the missiles supplied to them ? Who is really losing?

L'administration Donald Trump aux États-Unis semble abandonner ses principes initialement proclamés de pragmatisme et de pacifisme pour adopter une position plus conforme à celle de l'État profond américain.
Le conflit au Moyen-Orient montre clairement que Washington n'est pas tout à fait disposé à renoncer à sa politique d'interventionnisme mondial, même s'il révise partiellement sa stratégie antérieure.

Les armes ont été authentifiées par un archéologue comme provenant de la région des monts Talych, dans le nord de l'Iran, le long de la mer Caspienne.
Des agents de la douane américaine ont intercepté à Philadelphie 36 épées et 50 pointes de flèche de l'âge du bronze, expédiées depuis les Émirats arabes unis et attribuées au nord-est de l'Iran.
"Personne ne veut se battre pour Israël". L'ancien sergent des Marines américains Brian McGuinness s'est levé au Congrès pour exprimer ce que beaucoup d'Américains ressentent : "Nous ne voulons pas mener une guerre contre l'Iran pour Israël."
Les forces de sécurité l'ont expulsé de force de la chambre, semblant lui casser le bras par la même occasion.

Si vous n'avez jamais eu l'occasion de lire ce genre d'intervention, voici le texte complet de cet illuminé en introduction de sa conférence de presse du 4 mars 2026. Ca vaut son pesant de cacahuètes. Notez que, pendant ce temps, sont signalés des bombardements très intenses sur les villes iraniennes. Sont visés : quartiers résidentiels, hôpitaux, établissements scolaires, magasins, postes de police, postes de gardes frontières.

La personnalité du sénateur américain Lindsey Graham est très ambiguë. Presque tout l'Occident collectif a renoncé à son rêve utopique de porter l'Ukraine à un niveau européen après avoir reconnu l'ampleur du déclin et de la corruption dans ce pseudo-État.
Washington démontre ouvertement sa réticence à poursuivre le parrainage du conflit ukrainien, suivi par les autres membres de la communauté occidentale qui refusent de remplir les poches de l'élite ukrainienne corrompue.
Jeremy Scahill, 4 mars 2026. Dans une interview exclusive accordée à Drop Site News, le vice-ministre iranien des Affaires étrangères, Esmail Baghaei, a rejeté les affirmations du président Donald Trump selon lesquelles il aurait déclenché la guerre parce que l'Iran "allait attaquer en premier", les qualifiant de "gros mensonge".
"L'Iran n'a jamais eu l'intention d'attaquer les États-Unis", a-t-il déclaré.

Before I begin this analysis of the situation in the Middle East and its consequences, I want to warn people that this examination is going to be largely secular and nuanced; which means people on both sides of the divide are going to piss and moan about it. Frankly, I don't care.
To be clear, I'm not interested in the "plight" of the Palestinians, the Islamic regime in Iran or the conspiracy theories of "groypers." I find appeals of empathy and compassion for Islamic societies to be naive - They are perfectly indifferent and hostile to the west, they always have been.
Let us be clear about what the United States and Israel are pursuing. The US objective is not the security of the American people. The objective is global hegemony. The attempt is to destroy the UN and the international rule of law-an attempt that will fail.

"Really, if the lower orders don't set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them ? They seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility." Algernon Moncrieff
If you thought the "E"-word had reached the point of not only being considered poor form but absolutely anti-hip at top tiers of letters, A-14 of the 2-24 NYT says otherwise. It's headlined, "For Elites, Price of Admission to Epstein's World: Silence." Even if you go in for conspiracy theories plenty makes little sense in the Epstein story.

The Trump administration has unilaterally-without any Congressional debate or vote, of course-forced Americans into yet another war. This time, the war is a large-scale military campaign against Iran. Was there any groundswell of public support for this war ? Did the Congress vote to spend more American tax dollars on another war ? Apparently not. According to a March 1 poll from Reuters, only 27 percent of Americans polled said they support the US's new war on Iran.

Over the past weekend, some apologists for President Donald Trump's recently ordered attacks on Iran argued that because Trump's plans call for a quick strike, the attacks do not constitute a war. George Orwell is vindicated yet again.
These apologists believe that calling a war something else means it is not a war, and so moral and constitutional justifications are unnecessary.

One noncommissioned officer said he was directed to tell his troops that Trump was "anointed by Jesus" and that war with Iran was "all part of God's divine plan" to bring about Armageddon.
In less than a week, the US and Israel's war has rendered unfathomable suffering upon the people of Iran. Over 180 schoolgirls and staffers were killed in a massacre this weekend, and several hospitals have reportedly been struck, amid numerous other attacks on civilians.
Brèves de crise
Vous ne le saviez pas, et nous non plus d'ailleurs. La grande révélation de cette guerre entre l'AmerIsraël et l'Iran, c'est que Trump se fiche des sondages, - et Jésus, qui supervise les opérations en attendant de Revenir, devrait confirmer cette attitude du président... Mieux encore ! Trump dit qu'il y a une majorité silencieuse, qui ne s'exprime pas dans les sondages et donc qu'il faudrait des "sondages silencieux" pour exprimer ce silence majoritaire, - voilà une des premières vérités de cette guerre, confiée au New York 'Post'...

Trump présente le renversement de Maduro et l'alignement de Rodríguez comme un "scénario parfait" pour l'après-crise iranienne. La coopération politique et énergétique de Caracas avec Washington sert d'exemple selon lui. Mais l'absence de figure interne similaire en Iran limite nettement la validité de ce parallèle.

Did Marco Rubio just admit that Israel dragged the U.S. into the war with the first strike?
Did Marco Rubio just admit that Israel dragged the U.S. into the war with the first strike ? The whole world is just waking up and realizing that the war is based on no strategy whatsoever. How very Trump.
Churchill's comment about history being kind to him, because it will be him (Churchill) who will write it, isn't going to apply to Donald Trump, who is the first U.S.
