Our Financial Markets and Their Many Irrationalities
I launched my American Pravda series a decade ago next month. My conscious strategy was quite unusual, being almost exactly the opposite of that followed by nearly everyone else covering those same controversial topics.
As some of them explicitly told me, they had always deliberately avoided exploring too many different and unrelated historical controversies.

Responsible Statecraft reported that Israel is paying a cohort of 14-18 social media influencers an estimated $7,000 per posted article through a firm called Bridges Partners for defending Israel's war crimes and demonizing alleged "anti-semites" for reporting them. The filing, disclosed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, indicated that Israel pays these influencers as part of a campaign called the "Esther Project."
Now they're canceling the visas of mainstream normie political pundits for criticizing the state of Israel, and investigating people for antisemitic hate crimes when they denounce Zionists who aren't even Jewish.

The UK is getting crazier and crazier in its defense of Israel. Now they're canceling the visas of mainstream normie political pundits for criticizing the state of Israel, and investigating people for antisemitic hate crimes when they denounce Zionists who aren't even Jewish.

Last Thursday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed a proposed $250 bill bearing President Donald Trump's face, presenting it as a possible tribute to America's semiquincentennial.
The main obstacle is the law. For now, it bars living people from appearing on U.S. currency. Existing law also does not authorize a $250 Federal Reserve note.

The press keeps insisting Russia is preparing to invade all of Europe as if Putin wakes up every morning dreaming about inheriting Germany's industrial collapse and France's pension protests.
The propaganda has become so absurd that perhaps we should finally discuss the REAL reasons Russia would supposedly invade Europe:
To acquire Germany's energy policy expertise and finally learn how to shut down functioning nuclear plants while importing expensive energy from everyone else.

While the Department of Education has been praised by both Republicans and Democrats alike, its creation has caused more problems than most Americans realize.

On October 17, 1979, President Jimmy Carter signed the Department of Education Organization Act, establishing the United States Department of Education (ED) as a federal agency. While the ED has been praised by both Republicans and Democrats alike, its creation has caused more problems than most Americans realize.

L'affaire Jeffrey Epstein est une histoire où le sordide rivalise avec le révoltant. L'immense quantité de documents publiés a donné lieu à une multitude de révélations, au point qu'il devient facile de s'y perdre. Le lecteur ne sait plus ce qui doit susciter la plus vive indignation : l'ignominie des crimes sexuels commis sur des mineures, l'impunité judiciaire dont ont bénéficié certains protagonistes, l'implication de personnalités occupant les plus hautes fonctions, les sommes d'argent vertigineuses brassées dans ces cercles, les décennies durant lesquelles cette affaire a prospéré...

Il recente attacco ucraino contro un dormitorio a Lugansk sembra aver determinato un cambiamento di posizione da parte della Russia.
I recenti avvenimenti nell'ambito dell'operazione militare speciale suggeriscono che il conflitto potrebbe finalmente entrare in una nuova fase, in cui la Russia è pronta ad adottare misure più decisive contro il nemico al fine di proteggere la propria popolazione civile.

Pepe Escobar et moi-même avons reçu jeudi le rapport de renseignement suivant, rédigé par une source bien informée ayant accès à des informations confidentielles. Je ne reproduis pas l'intégralité du rapport, mais je souhaite revenir sur la question de savoir si l'Iran dispose actuellement, ou disposera bientôt, de l'arme nucléaire.

Alex Colston, collaborateur de Zeteo, libéré il y a une semaine après avoir été kidnappé par les autorités israéliennes d'occupation, décrit en détail les actes de torture et autres mauvais traitements infligés par Israël aux militants de la flottille Global Sumud, loin des regards des caméras.
Je suis youtube à Istanbul jeudi dernier, toujours affublé de l'uniforme gris de la prison militaire israélienne, après trois jours de captivité en Israël, mais je ne savais pas encore que le monde avait eu un aperçu du traitement subi par mes codétenus.
Le général de brigade Abolfazl Shekarchi, porte-parole militaire de haut rang, a averti lundi que les forces armées iraniennes ne toléreraient pas les atrocités commises par le régime d'occupation au Liban.
Une déclaration qui fait suite à une série de bombardements ordonnés par le Premier ministre israélien Benjamin Netanyahu sur la banlieue sud de Beyrouth, marquant ainsi la plus grave escalade de l'agression israélienne contre le Liban depuis l'annonce d'un cessez-le-feu fragile en avril.
