Dieu, les juifs et nous : un contrat civilisationnel frauduleux

On entend souvent, dans la bouche des rabbins, que l’antisémitisme est la jalousie de celui qui n’a pas été choisi par Dieu — une sorte de complexe de Caïn.

Jacques Attali propose une variante plus subtile : «l’antisémitisme trouve sa source principale dans la détestation de celui à qui on voudrait ne rien devoir.» Que doivent les chrétiens aux juifs ? Dieu. Avant les juifs, nous ne connaissions pas Dieu. Grâce à eux, nous Le connaissons. Notre dette est incommensurable. Ça nous énerve.

Les oligarchies : origines, caractéristiques et pérennité

Dans l’histoire des sociétés humaines, la concentration du pouvoir entre les mains d’une minorité privilégiée est un phénomène récurrent qui soulève des questions fondamentales sur la nature du pouvoir, la justice sociale et les fondements de la démocratie. Les oligarchies, ces systèmes où une élite restreinte exerce une influence disproportionnée sur la vie politique et économique d’un pays, incarnent cette tendance à la cristallisation du pouvoir.

The killing of top Iranian and Hezbollah operatives is a senseless carnage – or is it!?

There seems to be a hidden hand that pushes the players, and not anyone you would think of at first.

Over the last few months, we are witnessing a long line of assassinations of mainly top operatives, allegedly performed by Israeli units, acting in Lebanon, Syria and Iran. This should not boggle our minds, nor should we doubt the incentive. But something has changed, not in motivation and not in resolve, but in essence. The front page is clear and says as follows: Iran has masterminded the Attack on Israel and now it’s payback time. But Iran has been a nemesis for decades, and the list of targets makes no real sense, at least not at first.

The Third World War Has Been Cancelled.

Over the last month or two, the western media has been full of talk about “war” with Russia, and potentially other countries as well. For some, “World War 3” is now inevitable, for others “nuclear war” is just around the corner, for still others, because NATO and the West have agreed to transfer weapons that can theoretically strike Russia) this will inevitably “lead to full-scale war,” for still still others, the agreement signed in Pyongyang between Russia and North Korea will inevitably “lead to war”, and for yet others still, the West, and especially the US, is planning some kind of “war with China.” Here in France, serious articles have been written asking whether France will be “at war” with Russia, if the much discussed but so far not implemented proposals to send French specialists to Ukraine actually come about.

What Role Did Foreign Spy Agencies Play In Sunday’s Terrorist Attacks In Dagestan?

Foreign spy agencies were likely involved to an uncertain extent, but they still relied on radicalized locals to do their dirty work, not their own compatriots.

The southern Russian region of Dagestan was hit by several terrorist attacks in Sunday after armed militants targeted a churches, synagogues, and a traffic police post in two separate cities. Abdulkhakim Gadzhiyev, who’s one of that region’s representatives in the Duma, promptly blamed Ukraine and NATO. Former Roscosmos chief and incumbent Senator from Zaporozhye region Dmitry Rogozin, however, politely rebuked him shortly thereafter in a Telegram post that reads as follows:
