A gentle Jewish-Italian waiter, Guido Orefice (Roberto Benigni), meets Dora (Nicoletta Braschi), a pretty schoolteacher, and wins her over with his charm and humor. Eventually they marry and have a son, Giosue (Giorgio Cantarini). Their happiness is abruptly halted, however, when Guido and Giosue are separated from Dora and taken to a concentration camp. Determined to shelter his son from the horrors of his surroundings, Guido convinces Giosue that their time in the camp is merely a game.
Subject: More Anglophone Reports From the Cusp of Catastrophe.
Grenoble, France
June 11, 2025
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
We are finding an increase in catastrophic news flowing from the Anglophone social media, while coverage of the burgeoning social movements which are challenging the now virulent and out-of-control militarism and official lawlessness is scarce and fragmented. This summer promises to be a hot one in many parts of the world.
The 25+ items below reflect the concerns of Anglophone readers over the war economy and the growing threat of a nuclear holocaust that is being casually discussed in ruling-class circles today. These selected articles and essays offer an antidote for the growing numbness we are experiencing in the cultural hegemony of failed capitalist growth.
A more granular understanding of the realities we face enables us to overcome our alienation and work to become better equipped to creatively intervene in the affairs of our daily lives. The meta-communications allows us to demystify ruling-class ideologies and identify them for what they often are: off-the-wall ideas circulating among a self-appointed power elite, propped up by a illicit political economy that is based on massive destruction and the systematic exclusion of large groups of people from the necessities of life by way of a hysterical drive toward “monetization” of everything for private gain and an endless accumulation of capital.
Sincerely,
Francis McCollum Feeley

“The Five Eyes Blind Trump”
by Judging Freedom Podcast, with Max Blumenthal
(29:54)
Exposing MI6’s Ukraine Proxy War and Palantir’s Dark Role in Gaza and Global Surveillance.
In this explosive interview on *Judging Freedom*, journalist Max Blumenthal dissects the West’s role in escalating global conflicts, from British-backed drone attacks sabotaging Ukraine-Russia peace talks to Israel’s AI-driven genocide in Gaza. He exposes Palantir’s deep ties to the U.S. government and its complicity in surveillance and warfare, while condemning figures like Lindsey Graham for endorsing violence against activists like Greta Thunberg. Blumenthal also reveals how Trump’s diplomacy is being undermined by neocons and intelligence agencies. A chilling analysis of power, technology, and imperialism, this conversation is a must-watch for understanding the hidden forces shaping today’s wars.

Private prompts once thought ephemeral could now live forever, thanks for demands from the New York Times.
A federal court order requiring OpenAI to retain all ChatGPT conversations, including those users have deleted, should strong concern among privacy advocates and added pressure to a growing legal battle over the use of copyrighted material in AI systems.
On May 13, US Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang directed OpenAI to “preserve and segregate all output log data that would otherwise be deleted on a going-forward basis until further order of the Court.” Although the order was issued several weeks ago, it only came to wider attention this week as OpenAI began taking formal steps to challenge it.

Data privacy activists, many of whom are supporters of President Donald Trump, are expressing anger and disbelief following reports that his administration had advanced plans to create a national citizen database with technology firm Palantir.
The White House has reportedly contracted Palantir, a Colorado-based analytics company co-founded by Trump supporter Peter Thiel, to assist in compiling a database of personal information on American citizens, according to unnamed government officials and Palantir employees. The purported deal follows project talks Palantir had with the Social Security Administration and the Department of Education.
Jimmy speaks with author, activist and investigative journalist Derrick Broze about how Trump’s embrace of Palantir represents a betrayal of MAGA principles.

by Edward Slavsquat
BRICS is 45% of the world's population. This means BRICS cares about you.
On May 20, the 78th World Health Assembly “adopted” the Pandemic Agreement. Adopted is in scare quotes because the WHA rubber-stamped an agreement that hadn’t been finalized. In other words, WHO member states agreed by consensus (without voting) to “adopt” an incomplete document.
It was historic (source: WHO). Gavi, the Bill Gates-funded vaccine alliance, hailed the completion of the incomplete Pandemic Agreement as a “powerful testament to the strength of multilateralism and shared commitment to global health” and welcomed “the recognition of immunization as a vital tool to prevent pandemics and save lives in this agreement.”

In this explosive interview, Col. Douglas Macgregor delivers a blunt assessment of the escalating crises in Ukraine and the Middle East. He argues that both President Zelensky and Prime Minister Netanyahu are pushing for deeper U.S. military involvement, not to protect democracy, but to serve their own political survival. Macgregor warns that the Biden administration’s foreign policy, coupled with a lack of executive control from former President Trump, is dangerously eroding strategic stability—especially with recent violations of arms control agreements. He highlights how Washington is being manipulated through PR stunts and illusion, all while the world edges closer to a direct conflict with Russia.

Israel's genocidal regime has launched a savage, broad-based assault on Gaza and continues to deprive Gaza's starving civilian population of desperately-needed humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, Israel's criminal leaders have openly declared their intention to destroy Gaza and 'cleanse' it of Palestinians. By all appearances, Israel has begun to implement its 'final solution' in the Gaza Strip. In response to Israel's assault on Gaza, major Western governments have issued unprecedented threats to sanction Israel. In addition, people around the world are escalating their resistance to Israel's genocidal project. Dimitri Lascaris and Beirut-based, geopolitical analyst Laith Marouf debate where all this is heading. Who will prevail in Gaza? Will it be the resistance, or will it be Israel's genocidal regime? Lascaris and Marouf also discussed Trump's recent trip to West Asia and the nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran.

“Shocking Facts Keir Starmer Tries to hide in Israel Arms Case”

(10:01)
The UK government was challenged in court last week over its decision to keep exporting fighter jet parts that can be used by Israel’s fleet of F-35 warplanes. Declassified has discovered that one of the key witnesses has accepted hospitality from arms firms directly involved in the F-35 supply chain. Keith Bethell, a director of Defence Equipment and Support within the Ministry of Defence, was called on by the government to give written evidence about Britain’s role in the F-35 programme. He is “responsible for putting to work an annual budget over £5 billion to deliver the Air portfolio of equipment acquisition” and “managing key industrial partnerships”, which will bring him into close contact with companies that make the F-35. His evidence includes a confidential “closed” statement which will only be available to the judges, government lawyers, and special advocates who have security clearance to see secret evidence. The landmark case has been brought by Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq with support from the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN), Oxfam, and Human Rights Watch.

“Never Again?”
https://www.counterpunch.org/2025/06/03/never-again-2/
by Gary Fields
It is now imperative to acknowledge what people of conscience the world over know to be true: The State of Israel is operating a Death Camp for the Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip. By forcibly confining the Palestinians of Gaza within impassable bounds, while at the same time slaughtering and starving them within this confined space, the State of Israel has made a mockery of the slogan, “Never Again.”
In broad outline, Gaza is similar to the camps of the Shoah where Jews were mercilessly confined and murdered. In the case of Gaza, however, Palestinians have replaced Jews as victims of slaughter, starvation and eradication, and the State of Israel, in turn, has evolved into the keeper of the Camp.
What also differentiates the death camp that is Gaza from the camps of the Holocaust, is that during the latter, camps were decentralized with six primary camps utilized for the horrendous mass killing of Jews, the most famous being Treblinka, Sobibor, and Auschwitz. Gaza, by contrast, is a single confined space and killing field.
Finally, the other difference of note is that during the Shoah Jews were killed in the camps primarily with poison gas, while the Palestinians of the Gaza camp are being liquidated by unceasing bombing and shelling along with the deliberate starvation of the population and the destruction and withholding of all necessities for bare life.
The record of this murderous conduct by Israel has been visible to the entire world as Israel’s leaders and public figures have publicized their aims openly.
From the time of Israeli President, Issac Herzog saying on October 14, 2023: “It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible. This rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved, it’s not true;” to the present-day acknowledgment of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, that “Gaza will be totally destroyed,” there exist countless admissions of this exterminationist discourse coming from Israel leaders and the public posted on social media.
At the same time, Israeli soldiers on the front lines of the killing have posted their exploits openly for the entire world to witness on TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms in such broad numbers that even the Israeli military has warned them not to continue this practice.

Germany has significantly escalated its role in the Ukraine conflict, signaling what some analysts interpret as de facto participation in hostilities against Russia. At a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced a sweeping shift in Berlin’s Ukraine policy, including permission for Kyiv to strike Russian territory with German-funded weaponry, economic measures targeting Russian state assets, and new military production collaborations. Merz emphasized there would be "no range restrictions" on Ukrainian use of German-supported long-range systems, while also confirming Germany will co-finance satellite-based military communication infrastructure. The announcements mark a turning point in Germany’s post-Cold War military posture and could provoke significant Russian countermeasures.

On June 1, 2025, hours before Russian and Ukrainian negotiators were scheduled to meet in Istanbul, Ukraine launched an unprecedented attack on Russia's strategic nuclear bombers.
At the same time, the destruction of bridges in Western Russia caused a Moscow-bound passenger train to derail, killing seven persons and injuring sixty-six others.
Four days earlier, Donald Trump had warned Vladimir Putin that Russia was "playing with fire" and that it risked being subjected to "really bad" consequences if it did not agree to U.S. demands for a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine.
As the world waited for Russia's inevitable retaliation, Dimitri Lascaris spoke with John Helmer about the Trump administration's potential involvement in Ukraine's dangerous new escalation.
Helmer is the longest continuously serving foreign correspondent in Russia, and the only Western journalist to direct his own bureau, independent of national or commercial ties.

In this powerful breakdown, economist Richard Wolff exposes the dangerous flaws in America's current strategy toward China—arguing that treating it like a repeat of the Cold War with the Soviet Union is a catastrophic mistake. Wolff explains how China’s global influence, economic dominance, and deep alliances through BRICS make it incomparable to the isolated Soviet Union of the past. He warns that U.S. attempts to isolate China could backfire, just as sanctions against Russia did—strengthening adversaries instead of weakening them. The video also explores the economic unraveling of Europe, the political upheaval driven by working-class frustration, and how the U.S. risks repeating the same mistakes that doomed past empires. This is a sobering look at the rapidly shifting global order—and why the West must wake up before it’s too late.

Sachs breaks down the recent Ukrainian strike on Russia’s strategic nuclear forces and explains why this marks a terrifying escalation. He questions whether the U.S. government is complicit or simply out of control, calling either scenario a disaster in the making.
Sachs pulls no punches as he critiques Western leadership, intelligence agencies, and the media for fueling the conflict rather than seeking peace. He highlights the recklessness of continued NATO expansion and the refusal to address Russia’s core security concerns. With the Doomsday Clock set at 89 seconds to midnight, Sachs warns that we are now closer to nuclear Armageddon than at any point during the Cold War.
This is not just a regional conflict—it’s a global crisis with existential consequences. Sachs calls for immediate negotiations between the U.S. and Russia, a halt to provocations, and a clear policy of Ukrainian neutrality. This is a wake-up call for leaders, citizens, and anyone who values peace over power.

“The Ghost of Nicholas Biddle”
https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-ghost-of-nicholas-biddle/
by Adam Rowe
Trump’s war against elite academia has created an uncanny parallel to the most dramatic fight in Jackson’s day—the attack on the 2nd Bank of the United States.
“Jackson’s true objection was not that the bank had failed but that it had succeeded.”
The usefulness of these comparisons long ago passed the point of diminishing returns. But Trump’s ongoing war against elite academia in general, and Harvard University in particular, has created a new and uncanny parallel to the most dramatic fight in Jackson’s day—the seventh president’s attack on the Second Bank of the United States. The story is worth recounting as the seminal conflict in American history between popular democracy and elite expertise. (The details of Trump’s current war against Harvard can be found in excellent accounts by Gregory Conti here and here and by Steven Pinker in The New York Times.) Two conclusions will emerge from what follows: 1) In attacking and ultimately killing the Bank, Jackson and his supporters destroyed a valuable public institution they did not understand and could not replace, harming the nation’s economy and retarding its development. 2) In arrogantly rejecting even the most reasonable demands for reform, the Bank’s leaders and supporters richly earned its fate.
From the very beginning of the republic, the effort to establish a national bank had occasioned the most embittered and significant controversies over the nature of the federal union. The constitutional dispute depended on whether Congress’s legislative powers were limited to those expressly enumerated (the Constitution did not authorize the creation of a bank) or whether it included implied powers (the power to create a bank was implied in the express power to regulate commerce). It was this issue that first divided Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. But behind the constitutional dispute was an even more fundamental conflict over the nation’s political future. For Hamilton, a national bank was “a political machine of the greatest importance to the State,” an instrument to bind the nation’s business elite to the national government and the key to emulating the British model of a strong fiscal-military power. For Madison and the republicans, the Bank was a tool of corrupt favoritism and aristocratic dominion.
The controversy seemed to vanish, like so many others, in the burst of national patriotism that followed America’s second war with Britain. The original bank’s charter lapsed after 20 years in 1811, just in time for the War of 1812 and the pressing financial demands it created. The government’s financial embarrassments in the war seemed to vindicate the Bank’s necessity. President Madison signed the act creating the Second Bank of the United States in 1816 with hardly a murmur of constitutional protest. The Bank’s architect in the House was John Calhoun. “I seem to be the only person that still cannot find authority for the bank in the constitution of the U.S.” Sen. Nathaniel Macon of North Carolina complained.
The Second Bank of the United States was not an administrative bureaucracy, like the future Federal Reserve, but a privately owned and controlled corporation with a highly profitable relationship to the national government. The government provided one-fifth of the Bank’s $35 million in capital, and appointed one-fifth of its 25 directors. It was the exclusive depository of the public’s funds, which it could use for its own purposes without paying interest. In exchange the Bank paid the government a $1.5 million “bonus” in its first years of operation and performed the government’s banking services without charge. Unless renewed, the Bank’s charter would expire after 20 years, in 1836.
The perception that the constitutional controversy over the Bank had been settled led John Marshall and the Supreme Court to pronounce upon its legitimacy in McCulloch v. Maryland. But Marshall went further than declaring that the Constitution authorized Congress to establish the Bank. His decision also held that, in creating the Bank, Congress implicitly denied the States the power to tax it. To old-school republicans, this seemed to turn the Constitution, and the 10th Amendment, on its head: Congress’s expressly enumerated powers could be extended indefinitely by implication, and the States’ sovereign power to tax property within their jurisdictions could be silently withdrawn by implication.
Marshall thought he was kicking the dead and discredited doctrines of strict construction and state sovereignty into their graves. Instead, he sent them roaring back to life.
The Bank quickly became a symbol of three combined offenses against democratic principles: It represented aristocratic privilege, unaccountable power, and a usurpation of the reserved rights of the States. For a decade, the Bank’s critics grumbled impotently, their grievances left to fester under an elite national consensus. Then, in President Jackson, the Bank’s neglected critics found their tribune and champion.
Their grievances, however, were either abstract and philosophical or contradictory and misguided. Jackson’s practical objections to the Bank’s functional role in the economy were either untrue or contradictory. He claimed the bank “had failed in the great end of establishing a uniform and sound currency.” This was false. The Bank’s notes were the only paper currency that held the same value in all parts of the country. As Alexis de Tocqueville wrote, “The Bank forms the great monetary bond of the Union just as Congress is the great legislative bond, and the same passions that tend to make the states independent of the central power tend to the destruction of the Bank.”
Jackson’s true objection was not that the bank had failed but that it had succeeded. But this objection, flatly stated, would have divided the Bank’s critics into hostile camps.
His attack on the Bank brought together three antagonistic factions. The first faction—which included Jackson himself—despised all banks and paper currencies as a corrupt swindle. Americans’ distrust of banks reflected hostility toward the financial elites, who seemed to profit from the complex monetary and credit instruments that everyone else relied on, resented and could not comprehend. But it also reflected their bitter experiences with a financial system that was poorly regulated, chaotic, unstable, and teeming with incompetents and crooks.
Gold and silver were reliable as a store of value. But they were inadequate as a medium of exchange. Banks filled the void by issuing paper notes supposedly redeemable in gold or silver. These notes traded at fluctuating discounts from their face value, based on the issuing bank’s reputation for solvency. And the proliferation of paper currencies made counterfeiting exceedingly easy and common. The system thus allowed unscrupulous or sophisticated market actors to cheat those less informed, particularly wage earners and farmers. Hard money advocates attacked the Bank of the United States as the preeminent source of these vices. In fact, it was the one institution that worked to restrain them.
And that was precisely the source of a second popular grievance against the Bank. Indebted farmers, particularly in the capital-starved West, wanted easy credit and cheap money. They championed relief laws that forced creditors to accept at face value depreciated bank notes as payment for debts denominated in gold. The immense resources of the national Bank allowed it to hold substantial notes issued by private banks. (Most of the taxes paid to the government as custom dues were paid in private bank notes.) This financial stake empowered the Bank to act as an informal regulator of state-chartered banks. It could destroy a bank that behaved irresponsibly by forcing it to redeem its notes. The constant pressure it asserted prevented banks from lending too freely or issuing too many notes. Indebted western farmers and wildcat bankers resented this check on their states’ financial autonomy and popular sovereignty.
