Reflectii

Somehow, the voice of Europe has lost its former significance. This is hardly noticeable from within Europe, but I assure you, it is very striking when viewed from other continents.

Everything may seem unchanged–Josep Borrell Fontenes, The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, continues to focus on his prominent political issues. The leaders of France, Germany, and the UK remain in the primetime news spotlight. European media produce a considerable amount of content featuring prominent European leaders. Sadly, all of this is just a beautiful facade.

Si vous voulez savoir qui détient la dette de la France, vous serez confronté à une omerta digne d’une structure mafieuse. De ce que nous savons, la moitié de la dette française est possédée par des entités étrangères qui influencent notre politique nationale. Certaines lois, comme celle de la réforme des retraites, ont été imposées par des organismes étrangers tel BlackRock. Ceux qui possèdent la dette française ont plus d’influence que notre propre gouvernement.

A London reporter writes in WSJ that the assassination attempt on Trump, coming after Biden’s “stumbles” during the recent presidential debate, has pushed the superpower to enter “an unusually turbulent and unpredictable period, prompting allies to question its reliability and foes to gloat.”

More and more people in society lately are awakening to the fact that ‘Democracy’ is not only not all its cracked up to be, but that it may infact even be unnatural. And I don’t mean that in the sense that Democracy has merely been institutionally diluted or perverted in the West by way of the various cultural erosions, political schemes, and overreaches we’re now so used to grumbling about. No, I mean that Democracy even in its purest form can be argued to make no sense for a modern world which has outgrown the scope for which the system was originally intended.

Cela fait un peu plus de deux ans que l’OTAN a officiellement relancé la guerre froide. De toute évidence, le conflit ne s’est jamais vraiment arrêté, car le cartel de racket le plus agressif du monde a continué à s’étendre vers l’est, exclusivement par le biais de mensonges et de tromperies.

L’usage journalistique et la facilité de langage conduisent souvent à accoler un suffixe en -isme au nom d’une personnalité politique pour désigner un courant politique qui s’incarnerait à travers un responsable. C’est ainsi qu’est apparu « le macronisme. » Dans une acception faible, ce serait un courant plus ou moins organisé désignant un groupe d’élus et militants, et le camp de ses soutiens électoraux. Dans un sens plus fort, cela induirait l’existence d’un corps de doctrine, une idéologie fixant un cap.

Pour le bien de la sécurité des États-Unis et de la paix mondiale, les États-Unis devraient immédiatement abandonner la quête néoconservatrice d’hégémonie en faveur de la diplomatie et de la coexistence pacifique.

As a nation, the United States, as if we did not already know, is convulsed. Paranoid and divided, giddy with conspiracy and deranged by a fear of totalitarian seizure, hyper partisan and hostile to debate and any loose definition of facts (this condition afflicts the entire political spectrum), the only thing missing so far was this: an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate.

Political challenges among NATO members, the spectre of a second Trump presidency, and a bleaker military situation in Ukraine – compared to the expectations at the 2023 Vilnius Summit for the Ukrainian counteroffensive – made Washington feel like a ‘pre-storm summit’.

In recent days, widespread protests have erupted across many Turkish-controlled towns and cities in the countryside to the north of Aleppo and around Idlib. Some protests have escalated into violence, as clashes have broken out between local armed groups and Turkish forces, resulting in multiple casualties among both protesters and Turkish soldiers. The unrest followed racist attacks against Syrians that started in the Turkish city of Kayseri on June 30, destroying several Syrians’ properties.
