Michael Hudson: I'm glad to be back, especially on what a day.
Nima Alkhorshid: Yeah, exactly. And we, Michael, we had the ceasefire yesterday, you know, late last night. And today, what we've learned that these sort of attacks are again and again, Israel has attacked Lebanon and more than a hundred attacks.

A couple of weeks ago, I asked a genuinely stupid question. I did not ask this truly stupid question in the privacy of my own living room, or on a phone call with a good friend. I asked it publicly, on the 12th largest social media platform in the world - X - to a potential audience of its 561 million plus monthly users.

Political controversy has arisen in recent debates on immigration concerning the compatibility between economic liberalism and restrictions on the free movement of labor across national borders. A recent report from the United States Census Bureau suggests that the immigration rate in cities has sharply declined, especially in "large urban counties and border counties" that have "long sustained themselves through immigration." This is raising concerns that "it could lead to problems maintaining a population and a work force," which would seem to be incompatible with a commitment to the contractual freedom on which free markets rely.

"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand.

The defeat of Viktor Orban in Hungary last weekend was celebrated by many who saw the former president as establishing single-party rule in his central European nation. The irony is that this claimed victory for democracy may fuel the establishment of a global governance system that is neither democratic nor accountable to citizens.
The European Union was criticized by many for taking sides in the Hungarian election and for undermining Orban, who asserted national priorities in disputes with the EU.
We have more now, even among those who consider themselves poor, than even royalty of previous generations could have dreamt of. But we have replaced material destitution with spiritual poverty.

Some of the erroneous ways of viewing children and familial relationships within the secular world are beginning to seep into the Catholic colloquial understanding, causing a fracturing of what it means to be part of a family and fostering a materialistic understanding of bearing children.

In the latest episode of MintCast, MintPress director and host Mnar Adley is joined by Dr. Setareh Sadeqi, assistant professor at the University of Tehran, to examine how the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran is unfolding on the ground as Iranian Women lead massive rallies defying US imperialism and orientalist narratives about “oppressed” Iranian women needing American freedom — and how it is reshaping both Iranian society and the global economy.

La vittoria elettorale dell'ex Generale Rumen Radev alle elezioni politiche anticipate in Bulgaria rilancia la contrapposizione tra Mosca e Bruxelles nel Mar Nero, con Washington quale spettatore attivo sullo sfondo.
Come delineato nella Comunicazione congiunta del maggio 2025, l'UE riconosce il Mar Nero sia come "spazio strategico conteso sia come regione dal potenziale inespresso".
Le "Plan d'action européen pour les engrais" pourrait encore augmenter la pression sur l'agriculture européenne et renforcer sa dépendance aux importations. Wolfgang Hartmann met en garde contre un risque pour la sécurité d'approvisionnement due à des incitations politiques mal conçues.

La politique européenne en matière d'engrais est aujourd'hui vivement critiquée: la hausse des coûts et une dépendance croissante aux importations pèsent sur l'agriculture et menacent la sécurité d'approvisionnement.

Sur le plan géopolitique, l'échec de Viktor Orbán est une victoire pour l'UE - une de plus après la Moldavie et la Roumanie. La Hongrie, tout comme la Slovaquie, est un pays trop petit pour fonctionner sans injections extérieures de capitaux (son développement économique et civilisationnel le plus important s'est produit dans la seconde moitié du 19ème siècle grâce aux capitaux juifx et à l'administration allemande).

Mentre Mosca riorienta le esportazioni verso Asia e Paesi emergenti, l'Unione Europea paga energia più cara e perde competitività. Il risultato è una strategia che non indebolisce la Russia, ma pesa su imprese e famiglie europee.
Sanzioni ed energia: l'Europa tra velleità geopolitiche e autolesionismo economico
A oltre quattro anni dall'inizio del conflitto tra Russia e Ucraina, la politica sanzionatoria dell'Unione Europea in campo energetico può essere letta per ciò che è diventata nei fatti: non uno strumento efficace di pressione geopolitica, ma un meccanismo che ha finito per colpire in misura significativa proprio l'economia europea.
L'audience à laquelle nous avons assisté, le 9 mars 2026 à Amsterdam, avait pour objectif de revendiquer le droit des trois plaignants défendus par maître Peter Stassen, à faire appel du rejet de leur demande d'audition d'experts, une procédure spécifique au droit néerlandais, permettant d'examiner la validité de preuves en vue de poursuites judiciaires.

Un haut responsable iranien a déclaré à Drop Site que si Trump recommençait à bombarder, l'Iran romprait tous les contacts diplomatiques et se concentrerait sur le combat.
À la veille d'un éventuel nouveau cycle de négociations à Islamabad, l'Iran estime qu'il y a de fortes chances que le président Donald Trump - poussé par Israël - reprenne les attaques militaires si un accord n'est pas conclu rapidement, a déclaré un haut responsable iranien à Drop Site.

Tandis que vous et moi nous inquiétons de l'impact que la guerre et l'inflation auront sur nos familles et nos nations, les yeux des traders obligataires sont rivés sur les chiffres qui défilent sur leurs écrans, calculant ce qui pourrait advenir de ces produits financiers apparemment complexes.

Postponing the World's Financial Winter - For How Long?
Iran's MAD Standoff with the Rest of the World
April 17,2026
Announcing that "A whole civilization will die tonight," Donald Trump threatened on April 7, 2026 to destroy "every bridge in Iran" and "every power plant... burning, exploding, and never to be used again." His intention to continue committing war crimes is driving the world toward a Financial Winter as devastating as the Great Depression.

A raiz do problema está no caos institucional interno, não em atores externos
Escreva para nós: infostrategic-culture.su
A crise do fentanil nos Estados Unidos não pode mais ser tratada como um fenômeno exclusivamente externo, associado apenas a rotas internacionais de tráfico ou à ação de organizações estrangeiras. Há, na realidade, um conjunto robusto de evidências que aponta para falhas estruturais internas, profundamente enraizadas no próprio sistema regulatório e político norte-americano.
En retrospectiva, la guerra arancelaria de Trump se considerará insignificante en comparación con el ataque amenazado contra las líneas de suministro de China.

Estamos entrando en una nueva fase de esta guerra contra Irán. Puede que no sea lo que muchos esperan (especialmente en los mercados financieros).
Ayer, Trump afirmó, entre otras cosas, que el estrecho de Ormuz estaba abierto y que Irán había acordado no volver a cerrarlo nunca más; que Irán, con la ayuda de EE.

Liberalism is not simply a social philosophy centred on personal liberty, the consent of the governed, equality before the law, and the protection of private property, though it is often presented as little more than commitment to these tenets.
