Bulletin N° 1174
Subject : The World as We Know it.
Grenoble, France
Bastille Day, 2025
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
On this the anniversary of the Great French Revolution, which brought the capitalist class to center stage in the theater of world history --thereby freeing much of humankind from the odious bondage of feudal serfdom and the remnants of slavery, which stood as a necessary condition for the functioning of the now obsolete command economy-- we look at the complexities of events around the present world, and the illusions that we are now forced to cast aside in order to obtain a better understanding of what is happening around us, in the only way possible, i.e. free dialogue.
The 26+ items below are essays and articles which reflect our political economy in crisis. The interpretations are many and social movements are growing as we speak. In times such as these, with the apparent discontinuities, a historical perspective is essential for understanding the forces at play and the limitations imposed by these forces upon our control over our own lives and upon any coherent notion of possible outcomes from this period of turmoil.
Sincerely,
Francis McCollum Feeley

“UN BOMBSHELL Report Says These Companies Are Sponsoring Israel’s Genocide”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2UKOL9I-Qc
by MINT
The United Nations has published a damning new report naming over 60 global companies allegedly supporting Israel’s war efforts and occupation in Gaza. The document, released by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, has drawn immediate backlash from the United States, which condemned the report as "false and offensive." The report accuses major tech firms, defense contractors, banks, and investment giants of enabling what it calls an “economy of genocide.” Watch.

An Israeli army reservist who served in Gaza has told Sky News that IDF troops killed Palestinian civilians arbitrarily -- with orders to shoot, sometimes "dependent on the mood of the commander". Speaking to Yalda Hakim, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, said: "The younger population has been turned into the wilful executioner of a genocidal attack."

“US Sanctions Investigator Who Exposed Gaza ‘Blood Money’ Trail | Who Is Francesca Albanese?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRBkfHHM7QI
by Mint
(3:00)
The United States has targeted Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, for her explosive reports accusing Israel of systemic violations in Gaza. From alleging a ‘blood money trail’ to exposing war profiteering, Albanese’s work has rattled powerful governments. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio calls her actions “illegitimate,” while Amnesty International and rights experts slam the sanctions as “rogue state behaviour.” Will this silence the truth about Gaza? #FrancescaAlbanese #USSanctions #GazaConflict

We speak with United Nations expert Francesca Albanese, one day after the Trump administration announced it is imposing sanctions on her over her advocacy for Palestinian rights. Albanese has served as the U.N. special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory since 2022. She recently released a report highlighting dozens of companies aiding Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory and fueling its genocidal war machine in Gaza, including U.S. tech giants. Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized Albanese's work as "political and economic warfare" against the United States and its allies. "It seems that this administration is quite allergic to justice," says Albanese, speaking to Democracy Now! from Slovenia. "It's trying to distract us from where our focus should be: what's happening to the Palestinians in the little that remains of their tormented land, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem."

“The Pentagon spent $4 trillion over 5 years. Contractors got 54% of it.”
https://responsiblestatecraft.org/contractors-percentage-dod-spending/
by William Hartung at Responsible Statecraft
Advocates of higher military spending often say its to 'support the troops.' Not exactly.
Advocates of ever-higher Pentagon spending frequently argue that we must throw more money at the department to “support the troops.” But recent budget proposals and a new research paper issued by the Quincy Institute and the Costs of War Project at Brown University suggest otherwise.
The paper, which I co-authored with Stephen Semler, found that 54% of the Pentagon’s $4.4 trillion in discretionary spending from 2020 to 2024 went to military contractors. The top five alone — Lockheed Martin ($313 billion), RTX (formerly Raytheon, $145 billion), Boeing ($115 billion), General Dynamics ($116 billion), and Northrop Grumman ($81 billion) – received $771 billion in Pentagon contracts over that five year period.
This huge infusion of funds to arms makers comes at the expense of benefits for active duty personnel and veterans of America’s post-9/11 wars. Despite pay increases in recent years, there are still hundreds of thousands of military families who rely on food stamps, live in subpar housing, or suffer from other financial hardships.

A United Nations report accused tech companies like Google of profiting from Israel's military actions in Gaza, highlighting a $1.2 billion contract (Project Nimbus) that provided AI and cloud services to Israel's defense forces. In response, Google co-founder Sergey Brin dismissed the report as "trasparently anti-Semitic," sparking internal backlash and criticism of the ouveruse of such accusations to deflect from human rights violations.

“War in the Middle East, The Rothschilds. The Confidential Pentagon Memo: Take Out 7 Countries; Finishing off Iran; Resisting War”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/iran-israel-united-states-rothschilds/5894119
by Robert J. Burrowes
On about 20 September 2001, just ten days after the destruction of the World Trade Centre buildings on 9/11, recently retired U.S. Army General Wesley Clark was visiting the Pentagon for meetings with Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz when he was assailed by another General whom he had formerly commanded.
This General advised General Clark that the US was going to attack seven countries in five years.
A few weeks later, a similar meeting between the same officers led General Clark to be confidentially shown a memo from the Secretary of Defense’s office earlier that day.
Handing Clark the memo, the officer reported
‘This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out 7 countries in 5 years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.’ Watch ‘US Plans for the Middle East’.
As history now documents, with the notable exception of the last country on this list – Iran – each of these countries (together with Afghanistan and Palestine) has been destroyed, to a greater or lesser extent, by military violence inflicted by the United States, often together with its NATO and/or other allies, and/or Israel. Needless to say, there has been zero accountability for these gross violations of international law.
Why did the United States want to ‘take out 7 countries’?
Why does the United States (and Israel) still want to ‘take out’ Iran?
Understanding Conflict
When tackling conflict at this level, it is imperative to understand the ‘conflict configuration’ as a preliminary step in addressing key elements of the conflict. This understanding will require research, listening to those involved parties who are accessible and keeping an open mind to third-party sources.
After all, if one does not understand the conflict – the primary and secondary parties to it (which might include ‘invisible’ parties driving conflicts from the background), the key and subsidiary issues at stake, the importance (intellectually, behaviorally, materially) of each of these issues to the various parties to the conflict, as well as why these issues are important – it is not really possible for a genuine resolution of the conflict (one in which each party to the conflict feels satisfied with the outcome so that it will stand over time) to be achieved.
But there is a deeper dimension to conflict that is routinely overlooked: The ‘emotional profile’ of the key parties. At its most extreme, this includes the sanity, or otherwise, of the conflicting parties, including those parties operating from the background. For one explanation that highlights the critical importance of emotions to conflict, see ‘Love Denied: The Psychology of Materialism, Violence and War’.
I emphasize the emotional component of conflict not only because it is central but because it makes it easier to perceive that if one or more parties to the conflict is emotionally damaged in one way or another (or even insane), then resolution of the conflict might require more than the processes ordinarily employed.

Highlights from the Joint Declaration of the 17th BRICS Summit.
On July 6, BRICS member states signed the Joint Declaration of the 17th BRICS Summit, “Strengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance”, in Rio de Janeiro.
Similar to the game-changing Kazan Declaration, this year’s BRICS declaration serves as a manifesto for the Multipolar World Order. Containing 126 commitments, the document reads like a Bill of Rights against the global tyranny of the Collective West.
I encourage you to read the entire declaration, but here are some highlights:

(11:09)
In this powerful and urgent breakdown, veteran geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar explores the escalating confrontation between the U.S. and the BRICS alliance—particularly Iran, Russia, and China. He reveals how Washington’s strategy aims to fracture Eurasian integration and sabotage emerging multipolar connectivity corridors like the Belt and Road and the International North-South Transport Corridor. Escobar warns that this is not just about isolated proxy wars, but a long-term hybrid conflict designed to preserve Western dominance at any cost. From fake news factories to economic warfare, he outlines the systemic tactics used to undermine the Global South. As BRICS faces internal challenges and external pressure, Escobar makes it clear: this is just the beginning of a much larger, potentially irreversible global shift.

“Trump’s Move Backfires – BRICS Hits Back Hard”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIpe4VnfRtA
by Unfiltered Minds, with Pepe Escobar
(15:05)
Investigative journalist Pepe Escobar reports from the July 2025 BRICS summit in Rio, revealing how the 10-nation bloc has shifted from talk to action. On Day 1 the members issued a rare, unanimous declaration condemning Israel’s assault on Gaza and warning against strikes on Iran—language tougher than recent UN statements. Behind the scenes, finance ministers green-lit a plan to route development loans and trade through the New Development Bank and a cross-border “M-Bridge” settlement unit, moving another step closer to dollar-free commerce. Escobar details how Russia and China have spent the past year building this plumbing, why Sergei Lavrov is steering the effort, and how BRICS leaders now see themselves as a “post-West” alternative to the old Bretton Woods order. The discussion turns fiery when Trump slaps a 50 % tariff on Brazilian orange-juice exports—triggering threats of equal retaliation and casting the tariff as political meddling ahead of Brazil’s 2026 election. By the summit’s end, Escobar says, BRICS is “playing offense,” determined to set the rules of tomorrow’s global economy rather than reacting to yesterday’s.

“A Brief History of the End of the World”
by James Corbett
Recently on The Corbett Report podcast I was discussing Antichrist or Armageddon. If you haven't seen that episode yet, check it out here.
In that important exploration, I mentioned that in my time in the independent media I have seen dozens and dozens of predictions of the end of the world—predictions often conveyed to me in hyperventilating emails about how I simply must spread the word about these imminent threats to ALL LIFE ON EARTH!
Well, you know me! I'm always happy to oblige my dear readers and listeners! So, here I am, dutifully passing along my readers' warnings of certain death! . . . after the deadlines for these many predicted cataclysms have already come and gone.
And, once we've examined a handful of these false predictions, perhaps we can get a better handle on why people are so interested in tales of Armageddon and how we can better invest our time and our energy.

Donald Trump and his administration are now downplaying and dismissing the importance of the Jeffrey Epstein case, despite years of his own allies demanding transparency and justice over Epstein's ties to intelligence agencies and elite blackmail networks. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to investigative journalist Nick Bryant about how Epstein could not have operated alone and was likely backed by powerful intelligence interests from the U.S., Israel, and the U.K., with both political parties complicit in covering up the scandal. The discussion underscores how Epstein's connections, including to figures like Les Wexner and Peter Thiel, point to a broader system of blackmail and elite protection that remains untouched.

The ongoing cover-up of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation highlights how intelligence agencies like the CIA, Mossad, and MI6 unquestionably used Epstein to blackmail powerful political figures. Despite public knowledge of Epstein's crimes and his connections to influential people, no significant prosecutions have taken place, pointing to systemic corruption and control by foreign and domestic intelligence interests.
Investigative journalist Nick Bryant tells Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger that this cover-up has persisted across multiple U.S. administrations, shielding not only individuals but an entire political system reliant on blackmail. They argue that the blatant refusal to pursue justice undermines public trust and reveals the dangerous extent of elite protection and manipulation.

Netanyahu said Trump was "forging peace as we speak, and one country and one region after the other". The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to the person who does the most for "fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses". Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert reacts to the nomination, telling Andrew Marr that a nomination for peace by Benjamin Netanyahu is 'not helpful' for Trump.

Veteran realist scholar Prof. John Mearsheimer dissects the faltering state of U.S. grand strategy, warning that Ukraine is inching toward a battlefield collapse that will brand Donald Trump the president who “lost” the war. He argues the neocons have sidelined restraint, locking America and Europe into a long, poisonous frozen conflict with Russia while eroding public trust at home. Mearsheimer links this strategic drift to broader Middle-East dangers, where Israel seeks unchecked regional dominance and Iran’s growing deterrent—ballistic missiles, Strait-of-Hormuz leverage, and a potential nuclear option—raises the stakes of any future showdown. From Kyiv to the Gulf, he shows how ignored warnings, rule-of-law erosion, and mounting war fatigue could ignite crises the West is unprepared to manage.

“What was China's strategy in the Israel-Iran war?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjt5YOROvz0&si=VzIInsqe9LTitozf
by GZT
(15:16)
The world was on edge after the Israel-Iran war. But why did China remain silent during this conflict? Despite having signed a major 25-year strategic agreement with Iran, why did Beijing refrain from offering any tangible military or political support?
In this video, Dr. Selim Han Yeniacun, a faculty member at Marmara University, provides an in-depth analysis of the reasons behind China’s silence, Iran’s growing isolation, and the new power map emerging in the regional equation.
What does it mean that China has limited itself to mere diplomatic statements?
How would Beijing have reacted if the Strait of Hormuz had been closed?
Does Russia’s similar silence send a covert message to Iran?
All these questions are examined in the context of Iran’s economic and geopolitical constraints.
The video also takes a comprehensive look at China’s stance within multipolar structures like BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the growing disappointments in Russia-Iran relations, and Israel’s position within this complex equation.
With commentary from Dr. Selim Han Yeniacun of Marmara University, the video sheds light on the region’s fragile balances, China’s strategic caution, and the hidden agendas of global powers.
This video offers not only a deep dive into a regional conflict, but also a closer look at China’s evolving role in the new world order.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Wigington about a company called Rain Maker, led by a 25-year-old funded by Peter Thiel, which conducted cloud seeding just days before the floods—though Wigington claims this served as a distraction from the real cause: NEXRAD frequency manipulation. Wigington asserts that such weather modification is part of broader covert climate engineering operations used for control, land clearing, and geopolitical pressure. He also warns about the health risks from toxic nanoparticles used in these operations, urging people to pursue careful heavy metal detoxification through chelation.

“Is Trump Adoration Syndrome any better than Trump Derangement Syndrome? No, because they're BOTH fanatically insane, threatening to destroy you if you disagree. And they're interrelated: If not for TDS—and the total breakdown of the Democratic Party—Trump would likely not be in the White House, hero-worshipped by his feral courtiers and credulous supporters”
by Mark Crispin Miller
Our latest compilation of celebrity diseases likely caused by COVID “vaccination” started with the case (I use the word advisedly) of Donald Trump, or—to be more accurate—Trump 47, since he’s clearly not the man he was last time around; and we naturally began that compilation with the president’s condition (whatever it may be, exactly), since he is, beyond question, the most famous of the ailing stars we noted earlier. Therefore the title of that post starts with the cautious sentence, “There’s something wrong with Trump 47.”

“Israeli Airstrike Slaughters 10 Children Waiting for Nutritional Aid Near Medical Clinic in Gaza”
by David DeCamp
Warning: Graphic footage below!
On Thursday, a US-backed Israeli airstrike hit near a medical clinic in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah as civilians gathered to receive nutritional aid, killing 16 Palestinians, including 10 children and three women.
The clinic is run by Project HOPE, an American aid group, and the organization’s regional director, Natia Deisadze, confirmed that civilians were waiting to “receive essential nutrition support” at the time of the strike.
The New York Times said that it verified CCTV footage that showed a strike hit two men who were walking near a group of women and children. Smoke and dust filled the screen, and other footage shows dead and wounded women and children strewn along the side of the street.

“Russia Is Done Talking—Here’s What Comes Next”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IVv3tAqKnY&si=Gq8xB14748BJt9_x
by Unfiltered Minds, with Larry C. Johnson
(10:35)
Former CIA analyst Larry C. Johnson delivers an unflinching update on the Russia-Ukraine war and the widening geopolitical storm it’s spawning. He argues Moscow has abandoned negotiations and is grinding steadily forward—from Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk to new buffer zones near Kharkiv—while Western leaders cling to “fantasy fixes” like a handful of Patriot missiles. Johnson warns Europe’s saber-rattling masks a stark military imbalance, the U.S. faces global backlash for decades of interventions, and a tanker standoff in the Baltic or Ankara’s Caucasus gambits could spark a NATO-Russia clash within weeks. Trump’s talk of quick peace ignores hardened Russian demands: NATO off its borders and every occupied region permanently inside Russia. With drone supremacy, missile stockpiles, and rising confidence, Moscow is scripting the endgame—leaving Washington, Brussels, and Kyiv racing the clock to avert a far broader disaster.

As Azerbaijan takes an increasingly hostile approach to both Russia and Iran, it risks becoming a proxy in a wider regional war. Azerbaijan's Zangezur corridor connects Azerbaijan closer to Turkey, and thus NATO. Many uncertainties emerge in terms of what happens to Armenia, to what extent Turkey and NATO can project power that deep into the South Caucasus, and how Russia and Iran will react. Lasha Kasradze is an international affairs analyst from Georgia, and an expert on the wider region.

“Yes, 'Not an Inch to the East' Was Binding Under International Law”

by Pascal Lottaz
Not only is the historical record on Western promises to the USSR regarding NATO expansion crystal clear, there is also an ICJ ruling confirming that verbal commitments are legally binding.
For anyone doubting that there ever were promises to the Soviets about NATO not expanding east, I recommend looking at this assessment of declassified documents from the US National Security Archives. There were many, many verbal commitments Michael Gorbachev got from various western leaders. It is established beyond the shadow of a doubt that these promises were made.
The issue that is murkier and less well known is that these promises do, in fact, have binding force under international law. Skeptics claim that since these assurances were never codified in a formal treaty, they hold no legal weight. However, this position is historically misleading and simply wrong.

“Behind Closed Doors: Bilderberg’s Secret Summits Are a Threat to Democracy. “The World Needs Transparency Not Secrecy”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/bilderberg-secret-summits-threat-democracy/5894751
by Paul Anthony Taylor
Accompanied by only the bare minimum of publicity, a group of powerful politicians, corporate titans, tech billionaires, and military chiefs recently retreated behind a tight wall of secrecy for the 71st Bilderberg Meeting.
Held in Stockholm’s luxurious Grand Hotel, some of the most influential decision-makers on Earth had four days of discussions in a forum that prides itself on being unaccountable to the billions of citizens whose lives are shaped by its decisions. As the Dr. Rath Health Foundation has long warned, when unelected elites meet in the shadows to set the world’s direction, it is democracy and the rights of ordinary people that are sacrificed first.
A glance at this year’s Bilderberg participant list is enough to quickly expose the lie that this was just a harmless “networking event.” NATO’s new Secretary General Mark Rutte sat down with the heads of the US Indo-Pacific Command and Europe’s top military brass, while defense contractors like Saab, Palantir and Thales stood by ready to profit from conflict. CEOs from Big Tech and the pharma industry – Microsoft, Spotify and Pfizer – were there too, rubbing shoulders with former Google chief and Bilderberg board member Eric Schmidt, a man who has openly warned that whoever wins the race for super-intelligent AI will hold “the keys to control the entire world.”
How can such a gathering, convened with no oversight and no minutes published, claim to serve the common good? The organizers hide behind the excuse that secrecy allows “free discussion,” but it is the freedom of the global public that is undermined when vital decisions about war, energy, technology, and economic policy are hashed out in private by an unelected few.
Consider some of this year’s discussion topics: the Ukraine conflict, nuclear proliferation, AI weapons, the “authoritarian axis” of China and Russia, the geopolitics of energy and critical minerals, and even depopulation and migration. These are not idle cocktail gossip subjects; they are major issues that touch the lives and livelihoods of billions of people across the entire world. Yet there is supposedly no record of what is said behind Bilderberg’s closed doors – only the vague reassurance that there is “no desired outcome.”

“Massive Geoengineering Network Exposed”
https://www.youtube.com/live/IQ8txpM4yzo
by The Jimmy Dore Show
(19:22)
A new whistleblower has come forth to reveal that government-run geoengineering programs are covertly injecting toxic nanoparticles—like aluminum and barium—into the atmosphere under the guise of climate intervention, raising serious health and environmental concerns. Nicole Shanahan, RFK Jr.'s former running mate, claims a government whistleblower provided evidence that these programs are ongoing despite official denials and strategic rebranding to obscure their existence.
Geoengineering expert Dane Wigington tells Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger that these activities are linked to rising rates of diseases like Alzheimer’s and the collapse of pollinators, while criticizing the lack of transparency, safety testing, and accountability.
