Après que plus de la moitié de la population de Gaza ait trouvé refuge dans la ville frontalière de Rafah, Israël continue son horrible jeu. Des centaines de milliers de personnes sont forcées de fuir, une fois de plus. Nous publions ci-dessous un nouveau texte de Chris Hedge.

According to new reports from the Social Security and Medicare trustees, Social Security and a Medicare fund that pays for hospital expenses will both begin running deficits in 2035 and 2036. Disappointingly, but not surprisingly, Congress was too preoccupied spending billions more on military aid for foreign countries and banning TikTok to pay attention to the looming bankruptcy of the two largest federal entitlement programs.

Bad ideas are sometimes the hardest to de-throne. Its probably accurate to say most people think of money as the paper currency printed by governments. And it is money in the sense that it functions as a medium of exchange, but is it sound, is it vulnerable to inflation? Its very existence is evidence that it is, so why are so many people reluctant to switch to a money that isn't?

As war rages in Gaza, the intensifying debate over the US-Israel relationship spotlights a glaring political paradox: Those Americans who view George Washington with deepest reverence - that is, would-be "conservatives" - are often the ones who most zealously violate the central tenet of his foreign policy philosophy.
Specifically, their fierce devotion to the State of Israel defies Washington's admonition against "passionate attachments" to other countries - attachments that, he said, inevitably lead America "astray from its duty and its interest."

The Israel/Gaza conflict is now well into its eighth month as the slaughter and starvation of Palestinians continues unabated, with many tens of thousands of helpless civilians already dead.
Despite occasional bleats of feeble disapproval by members of the Biden Administration, America's government has continued to fully support that massacre, providing all the necessary money and munitions that enable it.

Sail away. Be Stoic. The complete antidote to the current insanity.
If resonant flutes would spring up from olive trees, certainly you would not doubt that olive trees are aware of the Art of the Flute

Obviously, the West doesn't want the war in Ukraine to end. Acting Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday that Russia is ready to finish on the battlefield what could have been solved diplomatically.
The veteran diplomat was speaking to members of the upper chamber of the Russian parliament as part of the process of his reappointment after a government reshuffle.

Before I delve into what I think is really going on with the Anti-Israeli protests on college campuses I want to make one thing very, very clear:
I don't agree AT ALL with what Israel has done in response to the October, 7th attack. I don't agree with what Hamas did as well.

Des centaines de milliers de personnes sont contraintes de fuir, une fois de plus, après que plus de la moitié de la population de Gaza s'est réfugiée dans la ville frontalière de Rafah. Cela fait partie de la stratégie sadique d'Israël.
Courez, demandent les Israéliens, courez pour sauver vos vies.
Dimitri Trenine
Deux ans et demi après le début de sa guerre contre l'Occident en Ukraine, la Russie se trouve certainement sur la voie d'une nouvelle perception d'elle-même.
Cette tendance était en réalité antérieure à l'opération militaire, mais s'est par la suite fortement intensifiée. Depuis février 2022, les Russes vivent dans une toute nouvelle réalité. Pour la première fois depuis 1945, le pays est véritablement en guerre, avec d'âpres combats le long d'une ligne de front de 2 000 kilomètres, non loin de Moscou.
• Les réactions "occidentales" au départ de Shoigou ont été aussi misérables que notre pensée générale dans cette période de sécheresse intellectuelle et d'effondrement de l'âme. • On ne s'étonne pas, on laisse cette misère se poursuivre et nous réduire au néant. • Au-delà des changements enregistrés hier à Moscou, il y a, de la part de Dimitri Trenine dont nous reprenons un texte une vision riche et fascinante de "la Russie à venir".
