Quoi de neuf sur Kennedy ?

Un point sur les déclassifications récentes.

À ce jour, et à ma connaissance, aucune révélation bouleversante, aucune preuve accablante, n’est sortie des 64 000 documents rendus publics depuis le 18 mars sur l’assassinat de John Kennedy. Néanmoins, la piste israélienne se trouve plutôt renforcée, notamment par une clarification de la proximité de James Jesus Angleton avec le Mossad. Le mot Israel qui était caviardé sur un document préalablement déclassifié, apparaît maintenant en clair sur la nouvelle version. Cela indique, d’une part, que, si la CIA estimait que les liens entre Angleton et Israël devaient être occultés il y a quelques années encore, ces liens sont si connus aujourd’hui que le caviardage du mot Israel était devenu ridiculement contreproductif.

Pourquoi nous complaisons-nous dans la peur ?

La société d’aujourd’hui, dans de nombreux pays du monde, semble en proie à des peurs irrationnelles qui, à leur tour, suscitent des haines irrationnelles, des regroupements irrationnels et des actions irrationnelles.

Ce qui est encore plus intéressant, c’est que la plupart des gens ne veulent pas renoncer à ces peurs et se complaisent dans une forme de ce que j’appelle «folie addictive», imperméable à tout argument logique.

The IMF’s Bottomless Bottom-Line Cruelty

How the IMF & the World Bank—in the name of progress—succeed in keeping poor countries poor.

Everyone knows there are many extremely poor countries in the world, but people rarely talk about why. These nations are sometimes collectively called the Third World (being neither the Western First World or the Soviet-aligned Second World); the more recent euphemism is usually the “developing world.” Whatever the name, these states are imagined by most Westerners to be scary, struggling places, and they tend to take the blame for global woes like terrorism and unsanctioned migration. Some of our greatest billionaires polish their public personas by donating to charities that supposedly aid the people trapped in grinding poverty across parts of Africa, southern Asia, and Latin America.

Satanisme et transsexualisme

L’association du satanisme et du transsexualisme est un phénomène culturel très marqué depuis les années 1990. Les exemples sont trop nombreux pour que je me livre à un inventaire. Pensons plutôt à l’exemple emblématique de Marilyn Manson.

La prison de la certitude

Dans l’essai d’hier sur les «réalités parallèles», j’ai exploré la façon dont le tri algorithmique et la manipulation de l’information ont créé des réalités fragmentées où nous ne partageons plus une compréhension commune des faits. Aujourd’hui, je me penche sur le revers de la médaille : pourquoi nos esprits s’accrochent à des croyances malgré les preuves de manipulation.

AIDS, Malaria and Child Hunger: What Will the Closure of USAID Mean?

The US State Department has notified Congress that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is closing. Despite this, USAID employees are still challenging the dismissal as illegal: the cessation of funding deprives the agency of the opportunity to continue most of its activities. According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, approximately five thousand of the agency’s six thousand programs will be closed . In fact, the development of AIDS vaccines, the fight against malaria in entire regions, as well as the fight against child hunger are being stopped. Donald Trump is abandoning the traditions of American “soft power”. Millions of people in dozens of countries around the world will suffer from this.

The Anglo-American Axis Benefits From The Ecological Terrorist Attack In The Baltic Sea

This terrorist attack destroyed any chance of an energy-driven Russian-German rapprochement, immediately catapulted Poland into the position of being one of the continent’s most pivotal energy hubs, and thus took the Anglo-American Axis’ plans for dividing and ruling Europe to the next level.

The unprecedented damage done to the Nord Stream pipelines Monday night was certainly an act of sabotage exactly as Denmark, Germany, Poland, and Russia suspect, though nobody can agree on who carried out this ecological terrorist attack in the Baltic Sea. Kiev, however, predictably blamed Russia for destroying its own pipeline in a remix of its earlier conspiracy theory alleging that Russia regularly bombs the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant that’s also under its control. That ridiculous scenario can therefore reasonably be ruled out, especially since Moscow could just keep the tap turned off for technical reasons without risking getting caught sabotaging its own pipelines in NATO-controlled waters.

France’s Next Quarterly Nuclear Drills Might Become Prestige-Building Exercises With Poland

Poland might participate in these exercises in order to send a strong anti-Russian signal, but the extent to which it might pivot towards France and away from the US will depend in large part on the outcome of its upcoming presidential election.

Everyone in Europe is wondering what form French President Macron’s potential plans to extend his country’s nuclear umbrella over the rest of the continent could take, especially considering the risks that they could entail after Moscow’s very negative reaction. Putin suggested that Macron was following in Napoleon’s footsteps, while Foreign Minister Lavrov was much more direct in describing Macron’s words as a threat and even outright comparing him to Hitler. Macron’s move could therefore escalate tensions.

Russie-Chine : des relations au plus haut niveau stratégique

Moscou et Beijing poursuivent le travail conjoint dans le cadre du partenariat hautement stratégique qui lie les deux nations et puissances mondiales de premier rang. Comme à l’habitude des relations sino-russes contemporaines, indépendamment de la conjoncture internationale et des gesticulations d’une évidente minorité planétaire.
