Subject : Requiem for The Empire. “Long Live The Empire!”
Grenoble, France
August 14, 2025
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
The phenomenon of “millennialism” that often accompanies the rise and fall of empires is a historical theme of interest today.
The End of the World.
This view evokes images of the entire world collapsing, coming to an abrupt halt, or perhaps the arrival of a mystical charismatic savior who will rescue us from oblivion, or simply another mundane, morbid scenario of slow and painful decay, preceding a premature death.
An alternative view is the appearance of a new empire born from the embryo of late capitalism, taking into account the historical short-comings of capitalism in the past, and the evidence of human tolerance for insufferable tyranny, to the point of collective suicides and mass murders: the “death game”, as it has sometimes been called –for a functionalist definition of War.
Dialectical Materialism points in another direction.
A more charitable view is that of the “evolution” of capitalism into a prosperous, egalitarian society with equal rights and reduced alienation (where urges to dominate and abuse are considered to be archaic behavior of past capitalist times).
The old adage, “history does not repeat itself, but it rhymes,” serves as a fair warning that no one really knows what the future has in store for us, but we can see what we want to avoid.
The Shortcomings of Logical Positivism.
Power from above has been pretty much discredited over these past years, by the numerous exposés of bribery, blackmail, attempted “decapitations”, and even efforts by corporate CEOs to reduce the world’s population (by ridding it of “useless eaters”). “Socialism for the rich” has been proven to be an odious concept, leading us once again onto lost byways of repugnant criminality and unaccountability.
(Please see Hitler’s Personal Assistant for an account of historic forces behind the willful collaboration with “National Socialist” suicidal policies.)
“In His Final Days, Hitler’s Personal Assistant exposed the Dark Secret.”
For 80 years, Wilhelm “Willi” Schneider said nothing. But now, the man who once stood behind Adolf Hitler—pouring his tea, setting his table, and silently watching has broken his silence. He wasn’t a general or a policymaker, but he saw more than most: the paranoia, the manipulation, and the shocking private admissions that would never reach the public. Now in his old age, Willi says, “I can’t keep this hidden anymore.” What he reveals is not just history, it’s a chilling look at the man behind the myth. These aren’t rumors. They are firsthand memories. And what Willi finally confesses will challenge everything we thought we knew about Hitler’s private world.
Class Consciousness Struggles.
We deserve better, and only change led by grassroots movements --with legitimate leaders, who are held accountable by their class-conscious base-- can produce the radical change that is called for.
The 26+ items below include essays and articles taken recently from the anglophone social media, which reflect the contemporary political economy of corporate capitalism and the growing economic inequalities that plague us by giving license to the ruling class to inflict severe political abuses on the rest of us.
“Silence kills . . . !”
Sincerely,
Francis McCollum Feeley

“Trump’s Monroe Doctrine 2.0 Meets a Multipolar Hemisphere. Interventionism. The U.S. Wants to Push China Out of Latin America”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/trump-monroe-doctrine-2-0-meets-multipolar-hemisphere/5897619
by Michelle Ellner and Megan Russell
A recent article published in The Hill celebrated the revival of the Monroe Doctrine under Donald Trump by suggesting that U.S. pressure is displacing China from Latin America. But this view misreads both the nature of U.S. influence and the political and economic dynamics shaping the region. What we are seeing is nothing short of coercion by an empire attempting to secure its declining grip on a hemisphere that is increasingly multipolar and pragmatic in its economic policies.
First declared in 1823, the Monroe Doctrine was a U.S. foreign policy statement warning European powers not to interfere in the Western Hemisphere. While it was originally framed as a protective measure against colonialism, it quickly became the ideological foundation for U.S. interventionism in Latin America, justifying dozens of military invasions, covert operations, and regime changes throughout the 20th century. By the end of the century and the Cold War, there was a growing acceptance that the Monroe Doctrine had outlived its usefulness. Trump’s effort to revive this framework, positioning it as a counter to China’s growing presence, reflects not a commitment to democratic values but a strategic attempt to reassert U.S. regional dominance in an increasingly competitive and multipolar landscape.
Trump-era policy in Latin America has relied heavily on economic threats: punitive tariffs, aid suspensions, and sanctions designed to force governments to reduce engagement with China. While these tactics may have discouraged some bilateral deals, they reflect a fundamental weakness in U.S. foreign policy: Washington is no longer able to compete through constructive means, particularly on the economic front. Unlike China, which offers infrastructure projects and development financing aligned with regional priorities, the U.S. offers few viable alternatives. Instead of investing in mutually beneficial partnerships, it defaults to coercion.
Trump’s approach rests on the assumption that the U.S. can rely on its historical alliances with Latin America’s political and economic elites to counter Chinese influence. But this calculation ignores a key shift: in today’s global economy, ideology matters less than investment and trade.
The idea that Latin America will naturally align with the U.S. because of shared political values or Cold War loyalties no longer holds. Even right-wing governments, supposed allies of Washington, are maintaining and in some cases deepening their ties with Beijing when it benefits their economies.
In Argentina, President Javier Milei ran on a staunch anti-China platform, but economic realities quickly reshaped his position: in 2025, his government extended a critical $5 billion currency swap with China, reflecting how financial necessity often overrides ideological rhetoric. In El Salvador, President Nayib Bukele, despite aligning himself with the U.S., has embraced major Chinese investment, including the construction of a new national stadium and a mega, modern library located in the capital. And in Peru, conservative President Dina Boluarte led a 2024 state visit to China to expand trade and infrastructure cooperation, while Chinese firms completed a massive deepwater port in Chancay, now set to rival Chile’s Valparaíso as a key Pacific trade hub.
None of these cases suggest ideological alignment with Beijing. What they reveal is a clear pattern: governments, regardless of political orientation, respond to who delivers material benefits. And right now, that’s not Washington.
The U.S. continues to rely on and expand its military presence in the region, through bases, training programs, and security agreements, believing this will suffice to retain influence. After all, China doesn’t project military power in the hemisphere.
But Latin America’s future is not being decided through troop movements or defense pacts; it’s being built through ports, railways, energy grids, and trade routes. You can’t contain economic transformation with military hardware.
Panama is one of the few places where Trump’s coercive approach yielded a visible outcome. But it is also a case that underscores why the strategy is hard to replicate. After falsely claiming China was “operating” the canal and threatening to “take it back”, Washington pushed Panama to scrutinize Chinese-linked port operations, culminating in their sale to a U.S.-led consortium. Yet Panama is a small, highly trade-dependent country with a long history of U.S. intervention; its strategic and economic reliance on Washington made compliance more likely. That very dependency, however, is not the norm across Latin America, where larger economies with diversified partnerships are far less susceptible to U.S. pressure.

“FDA Orders COVID ‘Vaccine’ Makers
Pfizer and Moderna to Warn Public About Heart Damage Risk”

https://www.globalresearch.ca/fda-covid-vaccine-makers-warn-public-heart-damage/5897246
by Frank Bergman and Prof Michel Chossudovsky
Introductory Note
“The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ordered pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Moderna to issue warnings that their Covid mRNA “vaccines” [August 2025] carry a high risk of heart damage, particularly for young men.
The new guidance highlights the deadly risk of myocarditis from mRNA injections.”(Frank Bergman, see article below)
That deadly risk was known to the FDA and the CDC from the very outset. They failed to act. The mRNA vaccine was fully endorsed and imposed, nationally and internationally.
The Pfizer mRNA vaccine was launched in mid-December 2020.
Pfizer had commissioned a Confidential Classified study focusing on the impacts of its vaccine over a period of two and a half months (from mid-December 2020 to the End of February 2021). That report –which was subsequently made public in October 2021 under Freedom of Information (FOI)—confirmed the. deadly nature of the mRNA injection (mortality and morbidity)
That Pfizer report was available to the FDA in early March 2021.
By the end of February 2021:
“Pfizer had already received more than 1,200 reports of deaths allegedly caused by the vaccine and tens of thousands of reported adverse events, including 23 cases of spontaneous abortions out of 270 pregnancies and more than 2,000 reports of cardiac disorders.”

“We Published an Op-Ed About Children Killed By Vaccines In A Mainstream Media Outlet”
by Pierre Kory, MD, MPA
Our Op-Ed exposed apparent cases of SIDS that were actually caused by childhood vaccines. It was published in a highly read news outlet... in New York City.
As many of my readers know, I have published over thirty Op-Eds in major media outlets over the past 4 years, with quite a few on “controversial” health topics related to Covid. However, the vast majority were in right-wing or center-right publications.
The first Op-Ed I ever published was early in the pandemic, in USA Today (July 1, 2020), where I tried to alert the world that Covid was aerosol (not droplet) transmitted, something the CDC and WHO took another 1 and 2 years to officially recognize, respectively.
Some other left-wing exceptions were Op-Eds I wrote with the veteran investigative journalist Mary Beth Pfeiffer; Newsweek (spikes in death and disability), The Hill (alarming rates of young people dying, and USA Today (Covid vaccine injuries and explosions in excess mortality in the U.S).
However, in those those Op-Eds, we were rarely able to make explicit links between the epidemiological catastrophes and Covid vaccines—the references were either subtle or omitted altogether—the notable exception was the Op-Ed published in The Hill, where we specifically identified Covid vaccines as a possible factor in the surge of sudden deaths among young Americans, illustrated in the following paragraph:
Vaccines were given to more than 270 million people, among them babies, pregnant women and workers under employer mandates. The therapeutic’s “warp speed,” emergency use authorization must be part of any post-pandemic analysis, in light of more than 1 million reports of possible harm to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System and a new Yale University study validating a chronic post-vaccination syndrome.
However, to date, we have never ventured into exploring the topic of the deadly harms of traditional childhood vaccines, a topic that would typically guarantee career suicide. Since my academic career has already been suicided, and Mary Beth has long left corporate media, we were free to venture.

“Yuval Noah Harari, WEF, ‘Useless Eaters’, Lockdowns and Emergencies”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yp9BqXSZ6A
by Friends of Science, with Michelle Stirling
(8:08)
Historian and futurist Yuval Noah Harari seems a popular figure with the World Economic Forum. Michelle Stirling, Communications Manager for Friends of Science Society addresses on some concerning comments Harari has made on camera. He says that governments use emergency threats to control people, and while saying terror is a small threat, and politicians should address climate change which could kill millions. Stirling disputes that humans drive catastrophic climate change and suggests he consult with Dr. Nir Shaviv about how the Sun drives climate. Governments should not use an alleged climate emergency to control people. Likewise, she expresses concern that the World Economic Forum (WEF) celebrated lockdowns, despite them destroying the lives of millions of people. Harari has also commented on how 'useless eaters' will just take up resources as Artificial Intelligence and Robots take over work in the world. Stirling points out that this kind of thinking led to the horrific public policies of eugenics and euthanasia that were public policy in Germany before the Holocaust/Shoah genocidal massacre focussed on the Jews, along with others deemed unfit to survive. It is deeply concerning that there is a depopulationist element that is significant in the climate change movement. People like Jane Goodall who believe the earth's population should only be 500 million. These are dangerous thoughts in dangerous times.

“Putin will NEVER meet with Zelensky”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RsfvzlpRS0
by Deep Dive, with Lt Col Daniel Davis & Patrick Henningsen
(13:34)
The discussion centers on the implausibility and strategic dysfunction surrounding the proposed Trump–Putin summit and the broader conflict dynamics involving Ukraine. Key themes include:
🔴 U.S. Ownership of the War Biden is deeply involved in the Ukraine war, supplying weapons, intelligence, and support—thus, he "owns" the war. Critics argue he should stop deflecting blame onto his predecessor (Trump) and accept responsibility as commander-in-chief.
🟡 Putin–Zelensky–Trump Meeting? Highly Unlikely Despite Trump suggesting a trilateral summit (with Zelensky joining him and Putin), the prospect is highly improbable: Russia considers Zelensky illegitimate (term expired, no elections). Putin will not agree unless Zelensky is already prepared to accept Russia’s demands—a scenario seen as extremely unlikely. Zelensky’s motivation: He wants a media spectacle to reframe himself as a global hero, which Russia sees as political theater, not diplomacy.
🔵 Internal Pressures on Zelensky Zelensky cannot make significant concessions without risking a mutiny or backlash from Ukrainian hardliners and nationalists. His government is seen as out of mandate, fragile, and threatened from within. Russia is well aware of this and sees direct negotiations with him as a waste of time.
⚪ Critique of Trump’s Role Analysts argue Trump lacks understanding of the war's context, history, and stakes. Meeting Putin without a substantive grasp of the conflict could be meaningless. There’s no new U.S. diplomatic position or detail to suggest this is a turning point.
🔶 U.S. and Allies’ Strategy: Leverage Through Pressure Figures like Mike Gallagher and Lindsey Graham frame Trump's position as strong, claiming: Threats of sanctions and military deployments (like nuclear subs) gave Trump negotiating power. Gallagher claims Putin "blinked" due to these pressures. Analysts dispute this narrative, arguing: Russia isn’t conceding due to U.S. threats. Leverage-based approaches have failed repeatedly and reflect a flawed understanding of Russia’s position and resilience.
⚫ The Flawed U.S. Playbook U.S. hardliners (and some European allies like the UK) cling to outdated Cold War strategies: Relying on sanctions, military posturing, and time to "break" Russia. Believing that economic and military pressure alone can bring Moscow to its knees. These policies ignore: Russia’s strategic patience and internal unity. Global shifts in oil trade (e.g., India reselling Russian oil). The ineffectiveness of sanctions and the potential for backlash (e.g., targeting India and China with secondary sanctions).
🔺 Conclusion: No Breakthrough, Just Stagnation Without new U.S. policy direction or understanding, the situation is set to stagnate. Analysts predict the same cycles repeating into 2026 or beyond, with little progress. Current approaches are seen as performative, disconnected from geopolitical and military realities, and ultimately ineffective at resolving the conflict.

“Why Trump’s ‘Ceasefire’ In Ukraine Push Is A Nonstarter For Putin’s Russia”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ-oD8l5PBg&si=ojON3p-gsjFfctyY
by Hindustan Times, with Jeffrey Sachs
(9:52)
As Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin prepare for their first face-to-face meeting in years, questions swirl over whether this summit could shift the trajectory of the Russia-Ukraine war. In this deep analysis, Jeffrey Sachs traces the conflict’s roots to decades of NATO expansion, U.S. foreign policy decisions since the 1990s, and the role of the military-industrial complex in sustaining the war. From the 2014 Ukraine coup to the Minsk agreements and failed peace talks of 2022, the discussion reveals why Russia insists on addressing the war’s core causes — and why a simple ceasefire may be a “non-starter” in Moscow’s eyes. Can Trump break from the U.S. foreign policy playbook, face down the military-industrial complex, and deliver lasting peace? Or will the war machine continue to dictate Washington’s approach?

“How murder of Al Jazeera journalists is part of Israel's Gaza occupation strategy”
by Abed Abou Shhadeh, Middle East Eye
The killing of five Al Jazeera journalists on Sunday, followed by the Israeli army’s immediate statement taking responsibility, illustrates the next stage in its plan for Gaza: deliberate murder aimed at silencing Palestinian documentation of Israeli war crimes and military occupation.
This action reflects the implementation of the Israeli cabinet’s decision to occupy Gaza. Amid mounting international pressure and deep political and social divisions within Israeli society, it underscores how the Netanyahu administration has crossed a point of no return.
It does so in full knowledge that the wheels of history have begun turning against Israel, in light of the atrocities committed during the past two years of genocide.
Precisely because of this, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeks to rewrite the rules of the game - both in Israeli politics and on the international stage - by relying on violent suppression of all forms of resistance, with his primary objective being the eradication of Palestinian national aspirations, at any cost.
While sharp and justified criticism has been voiced within pro-Palestinian circles over western recognition of a Palestinian state - given the past support, whether active or passive, of these same states for the genocide in Gaza - Netanyahu understands that such recognition holds potential diplomatic leverage.

“Anas al-Sharif was murdered for being Gaza's voice”
https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/anas-al-sharif-was-murdered-being-gazas-voice
by Soumaya Ghannoushi, Middle East Eye
They killed him where the wounded cling to life.
Outside al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, the Israeli army assassinated Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh, along with camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa, in a direct bombardment of their media tent.
This was no accident of war. It was a precision attack - the deliberate erasure of journalists who would not stop telling the truth.
Sharif was a young Palestinian from Jabalia, in northern Gaza. He had been covering the war for 22 months. His only “crime” was refusing to turn away, as he insisted on exposing the realities of genocide: the boundless killing, the calculated destruction of every thread of life. He worked without pause.
Born in 1996, Sharif was three years old when the Second Intifada began; he was 10 when Israel first blockaded Gaza, 12 when the 2008 Gaza war erupted, and 18 during the 2014 assault.

Tensions erupted in Athens as thousands of protesters flooded the streets, denouncing the presence of Israeli soldiers vacationing in Greece during Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza. Waving Palestinian flags and chanting “Unwelcome murderers,” demonstrators accused the Israeli government of committing genocide in Gaza and called on Greece to cancel all military cooperation and hospitality agreements with Israel. The protests follow reports that Israeli troops were offered recreational leave in Greek resorts, sparking public outrage amid the deepening humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories. This video captures powerful scenes from the rally, interviews with protesters, and the growing international backlash over the war in Gaza and Israel’s military ties abroad. #AthensProtest #GazaGenocide #IsraeliSoldiers #GreeceProtest #FreePalestine #StandWithGaza #GreeceIsraelTensions #UnwelcomeMurderers #PalestineSolidarity #AntiWarProtest #BreakingNews #AthensRally #MiddleEastConflict #GazaUnderAttack #GreeceNews #MilitaryLeave #ProtestFootage

“Labor Activist Christian Smalls: U.S. Unions Must Do More For The Palestinian Cause”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYUIT-GrShU&si=LxHXWkKiXrpCLRgb
by Reason2Resist, with Dimitri Lascaris
(16:45)
Since Israel launched its genocide nearly two years ago, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition has made repeated attempts to break Israel’s criminal blockade of Gaza. The Coalition's most recent attempt ended on July 26, when Israeli pirates seized the Handala in international waters. The Handala carried humanitarian aid for Gaza, as well as twenty-one human rights activists. One of those activists, Christian Smalls, experienced particularly violent treatment at the hands of his Israeli captors. Christian, who was the only Black person on the Handala, is the founder of the Amazon Labor Union, the first independent, democratic, worker-led labor union in American history.
Dimitri Lascaris spoke with Christian about his experiences in Israeli captivity. They also discussed the need for U.S. labor unions to do much more for the Palestinian cause.

“What is behind Israel’s decision to attack Iran?
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/13/what-is-behind-israels-decision-to-attack-iran
by Simon Speakman Cordall, Al Jazeera
Israel believes Iran is a threat to its security despite Iran’s insistence that it doesn’t want nuclear weapons.
Israel has begun its long-signalled attacks on Iran with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying they would continue “as long as necessary”.
The attacks, which began early on Friday, appear to have been carefully planned, hitting military and government targets and killing several senior military leaders – including the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hossein Salami, and the chief of staff of the armed forces, Mohammad Bagheri. Prominent Iranian nuclear scientists are also among the dead.
Recommended Stories:

list 2 of 3- Shock, fear in Tehran after Israel bombs residential, military areas
list 3 of 3- Israel kills nuclear scientists, strikes sites in Iran: Who did it target?
The strikes took place despite negotiations between Iran and Israel’s principal ally, the United States, over the future of Tehran’s nuclear programme, leading many to suspect that the threat of Israeli action was a coordinated ploy to bring additional pressure onto Iran.

Former British diplomat Alastair Crooke breaks down the unraveling of the Ukraine conflict, warning that the collapse of Ukrainian forces is already underway—and the West is scrambling to control the narrative. In this powerful conversation, Crooke exposes the gap between Western media spin and battlefield reality, the desperation behind NATO's strategy, and why the true endgame won’t be negotiated—but decided militarily. He also explains how Russia’s slow, grinding pressure is reshaping the geopolitical map, and why the failure to understand this strategy could lead to catastrophic miscalculations. As Europe sinks into despair and the U.S. clings to crumbling narratives, Crooke delivers a sobering message: the end is near—and the world isn’t ready for what comes next.

“Alaska Summit Skepticism”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG_Td0HNdbE
by Deep Dive
(14:02)
Patrick argues that a trilateral summit involving Zelensky is unlikely due to deep mistrust, especially after a recent assassination attempt on Putin and past failed negotiations. Moscow views Zelensky as weak, on his way out, and potentially disruptive to any peace deal. The Trump administration’s negotiation history—pursuing headlines, seeking last-minute leverage, and shifting terms—suggests no real breakthrough is likely. The U.S., according to the speaker, refuses to acknowledge its role as a co-belligerent via NATO’s support for Ukraine, which undermines trust. Russia believes the U.S. is “not agreement capable” after past betrayals, such as the Istanbul talks followed by surprise military actions. Successful talks would require a neutral mediator like China, but Trump and his advisers lack detailed understanding of the conflict, making genuine progress improbable. The speaker also criticizes U.S. officials like Rubio for claiming new insights into Russia’s demands when these have long been known. Without addressing core Russian conditions—like ruling out NATO membership for Ukraine—any agreement would be fragile and prone to sabotage. Trump is portrayed as undisciplined, influenced by advisers, and unwilling to take responsibility for what is now “his war,” as he continues arming Ukraine. Even traditionally hawkish allies like the British doubt meaningful talks will happen soon.

« Ruissellement d'argent public vers le CAC 40 »
Question écrite n°19707 - 15e législature

M. le ministre de l'économie, des finances et de la
relance
Date(s) de publication
Question publiée le
24/12/2020
Réponse publiée le
01/07/2021
Question de M. BOCQUET
Éric (Nord - CRCE) publiée le 24/12/2020 :
M. Éric Bocquet attire
l'attention de M. le ministre de l'économie, des finances et de la relance sur
le dernier rapport de l'observatoire des multinationales relevant les aides
publiques, directes et indirectes, versées aux entreprises du CAC 40 au regard
de la pandémie de Covid-19.
Les chiffres sont éloquents et montrent à quel point il y a nécessité d'un réel
contrôle des aides attribuées.
Comme le révèlent un économiste et un journaliste dans une tribune publiée dans
le journal Le Monde le 30 novembre 2020, « 100 % des multinationales du CAC 40
ont touché des aides publiques liées au Covid-19 ».
Or, et de manière scandaleuse et éhontée, il apparaît que 26 entreprises du CAC
40 ont malgré tout versé des dividendes conséquents à leurs actionnaires pour
un total de 30,3 milliards d'euros. Pour certaines, l'État est actionnaire ; un
comble qui renie d'ailleurs l'engagement du Gouvernement. Notons que 8
entreprises ont même augmenté le montant des dividendes versés. De plus, 14
d'entre elles ont profité du chômage partiel pour rémunérer leurs salariés.
Comme Carrefour qui a placé 90 000 de ses 110 000 salariés au chômage partiel,
payés sur fonds publics, alors que 183 millions d'euros ont été versés dans le
même temps à ses actionnaires.
Voilà comment s'accaparer les aides publiques aux fins d'intérêts financiers
privés et ce, en toute impunité !
Pire, certaines entreprises licencient, sans aucun scrupule, à l'image de Total
et de Sanofi. Écœurant !
Alors, face à ces dérives, comment peut-il se concevoir qu'encore aujourd'hui
les aides publiques puissent être versées sans aucune contrepartie ?
Tout cela s'inscrit dans une pernicieuse logique qui dure depuis bien trop
longtemps. Comme l'énoncent les auteurs de la tribune du Monde, les aides
publiques versées aux entreprises privées ne représentaient que 65 milliards
d'euros par an avant la crise de 2008. En 2012, ce montant est passé à 110
milliards d'euros, puis à 150 milliards d'euros par an à la suite de la mise en
place du pacte de responsabilité et du crédit d'impôt pour la compétitivité et
l'emploi (CICE). Avec la pandémie, les sommes versées sont encore plus
importantes.
Et pour autant, le chômage et les faillites d'entreprises continuent à
s'accélérer. Tout cela est d'ailleurs à mettre en parallèle aux 0,8 % du plan
de relance consacré à la lutte contre la pauvreté et au fait que les aides
publiques au secteur privé dépassent aujourd'hui le montant des aides sociales
(138 milliards d'euros).
On voit bien là toutes les limites des aides attribuées dont la logique
s'apparente même parfois à du détournement de fonds publics.
C'est pourquoi, il lui demande si le Gouvernement entend enfin fixer des
critères stricts et sincères d'attributions des aides publiques aux entreprises
et avec quelles contreparties exigées.

“U.S. Leaders Are Playing With Nuclear Fire”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB3fhyHDiMs&si=VmT5pp6KywGB2Qq0
by Deep Dive, with Col Doug Macgregor
(20:26)
Col. Doug Macgregor argues that arms control still matters (New START runs to 2026), but Washington and NATO are flirting with nuclear risks they can’t control. Moscow treats the danger as real and adjusts posture—often signaling through Medvedev—while the West drifts into escalatory theatrics after killing INF. History and war-games say a major NATO–Russia fight tends to go nuclear; the antidote is quiet de-escalation, inspections, and constant high-level channels, not public chest-thumping.
Key Topics : Arms control baseline: New START runs to 2026; killing INF reopened the most destabilizing missiles in Europe. Escalation loop: Russia shifts forces west; Medvedev does the loud signaling Putin won’t. U.S. tactical nukes to the UK + public sub posturing = risky theatrics. Military reality: Hypersonics can’t be stopped; NATO air/missile defense covers little; European logistics aren’t ready. War-games: NATO–Russia fights tend to go nuclear; “low-yield” still escalates (Powell’s point). INF dispute handling: Russia’s missile vs. U.S. dual-use launchers in Romania—should’ve been solved with inspections, not treaty collapse; INF also helped keep Germany in NATO. Sanctions & signals: Sanctions read as acts of war; publicly confirming offensive plans invites counters. What to do: Rebuild quiet U.S.–Russia–China channels, allow site inspections, revive arms-control habits, ditch performative brinkmanship.
Main Message (Macgregor) We’re sleepwalking back into a European missile standoff without the old guardrails. Nuclear war isn’t a tool to “manage”; it’s a cliff. Dial down theatrics, revive verification and hotlines, and prioritize de-escalation—or accept rising odds of a catastrophe no one can control. #coldougmacgregor #tradewar #russiaukraine #usa #nato

Israel has been widely condemned after deliberately

say the killings are part of a broader campaign to suppress truth, obstruct
documentation of war crimes, and maintain an information blackout ahead of
major offensives. Israel has claimed El-Sharif was linked to Hamas, a charge
his employer and colleagues reject as baseless, pointing to a pattern of
similar accusations against slain journalists. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian

“Pentagon to Create ‘Domestic
Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force’”
by Kyle Anzalone
The Department of Defense is
planning to create a rapid response force of National Guard troops to quickly
deploy to American cities where protests or unrest are occurring.
On Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that it obtained documents
showing the Pentagon is creating a “Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction
Force.”
“The plan calls for 600
troops to be on standby at all times so they can deploy in as little as one
hour,” the outlet explained. “They would be split into two groups of 300 and
stationed at military bases in Alabama and Arizona, with purview of regions
east and west of the Mississippi River, respectively.”
One hundred troops at each
base would be on standby to deploy within an hour, while the entire quick force
would begin operations within 12 hours. The National Guard will be equipped with
weapons and riot gear, and the deployments will be limited to 90 days to
prevent burnout among the troops.
On Monday, Trump announced a
major crackdown on crime in Washington, DC, by federalizing the Metropolitan DC
police and deploying 800 National Guard troops to the capital city. “This is
Liberation Day in DC, and we’re going to take our capital back,” Trump said
during a press conference at the White House. “I’m officially invoking the
District of Columbia Home Rule Act. And placing the DC
Metropolitan Police under direct federal control.”
“In addition, I’m deploying
the National Guard to help restore law, order and public safety,” he added.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said residents of DC will soon see the National
Guard in the capital. “You will see them flowing into the streets of Washington
in the coming week,” he explained. “At your direction as well, sir, there are
other units we are prepared to bring in — other National Guard units, other
specialized units. They will be strong, they will be tough and they will stand
with their law enforcement partners.”
The new quick reaction force
may be deployed to other American cities if Trump perceives that there is too
much crime. Trump threatened to take similar steps in other major cities,
noting he hopes some of them “self-clean up.” “If we need to, we’re going to do
the same thing in Chicago, which is a disaster,” the president said.
The planned force could face
legal barriers as it attempts to deploy to American cities. Many Democratic
led-cities may object to a Republican President deploying troops. Additionally,
federal law limits the National Guard’s ability to conduct law enforcement
within the US.

“Trump and the Lemon Law of
Voter Denial”
https://scheerpost.com/2025/08/05/trump-and-the-lemon-law-of-voter-denial/
by Kenneth A. Carlson
There’s
a curious psychological phenomenon playing out in American politics, and it’s
not new, but it
has become dangerously exaggerated in the era of Donald J. Trump. It’s what
happens when a voter, like a consumer who’s just driven off the lot in a shiny
new car, realizes the vehicle they bought is a lemon. It sputters, leaks oil,
the brakes fail and the salesman — so confident and charismatic during the sale
— won’t return their calls. Yet instead of returning it under the lemon law or
admitting regret, the buyer polishes the bumper, cranks up the radio to drown
out the noise, and insists to anyone who’ll listen that the car runs just fine.
So
it is with Trump’s base. After six months of his second — and deeply embattled
— term, he’s delivered not a slate of achievements but a fleet of scandals. He
didn’t end the wars in Ukraine or the Middle East. Inflation still bites at the
grocery store. The border wall stands as a monument to bluster, with no pesos
from Mexico to pay for it. And rather than draining the swamp, he’s hawking $60
Bibles printed in China, touting them as spiritual souvenirs of a campaign
fueled by grievance.
This
is not a partisan gripe. It’s a lament for a country in cognitive dissonance.
What
we’re witnessing is not a case of buyers’ remorse but buyers’ denial, rooted in
the fear of being wrong, of being made a fool. Trump’s supporters were sold a
product — a disruptive outsider, a dealmaker, a man who would stand up for the
“forgotten.” But six months in, that product has failed spectacularly. Rather
than confront the mounting evidence of corruption, cruelty and incompetence,
many have doubled down, clutching to their Trump-branded merchandise — literal
and metaphorical — as if it were a shield against shame.
And
shame, as a motivator, may be more powerful to some than truth.
The
signs are all there: 34 felony convictions, a civil jury of his own peers
finding him liable for sexual assault, documented admiration for
authoritarians, a White House turned into a bizarre showroom for $TRUMP meme
coins and Elon Musk’s Tesla vehicles, and the
normalization of cruelty — especially through agencies like ICE, now more
empowered than ever to go after “the least of us.”
Trump
makes a mockery of institutions, cuts aid to the
needy, bullies dissenters and governs as if the only loyalty that matters is to
himself. He’s as interested in the rule of law as he is in reading the
Constitution — something I doubt he’s ever done or the least bit interested in
doing. And yet, many Americans cling to him not because they believe he is
great, but because it appears that admitting they were wrong feels worse than
enduring the consequences of being right.
I
grew up in a small town in Ohio, the son of a preacher, where people took
immense pride in their purchases — cars, tractors, houses, politicians. But
there was also a quiet and modest wisdom: if the machine doesn’t work, you
trade it in. It takes humility to say, I was sold a bill of goods. I made a bad
deal. I want something better.
But
Trumpism isn’t just a political stance anymore. For
some, it’s a religious devotion — especially among white evangelicals who call
him an “imperfect vessel” sent by God. That vessel, mind you, once bragged
about grabbing women “by the pussy,” walking in on naked teenage pageant
contestants and mocking a disabled New York Times reporter while telling the
world that he, Trump, and he alone, could fix all our problems. Meanwhile, he’s
hawking sacred texts while funneling political loyalty through more than $1
million per seat on average for a dinner party at the White House, reserved for
top-tier investors in Trump’s cryptocurrency token.
Six
months into Donald Trump’s second term, the numbers tell a story even his
bravado can’t shout down: the façade is cracking. His
job approval has plunged to 37%, the lowest point of this term and only a hair
above the ignominy of his all-time worst at the end of his first presidency.
The most damning shift comes from independents — the pragmatic middle that
decides elections — where his support has collapsed by 17 points to a paltry
29%, matching its lowest ebb in either term.
These
are not just statistics; they are warning flares. Americans, particularly those
who once suspended disbelief, seem to be waking up to the chaos fatigue, to
broken promises and corrosive leadership. Trump once promised to remake
Washington; instead, he’s remade disappointment.

“Ports Lock Out Israel’s Weapons – And There’s More to Come”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bglz97kts0&si=V2jroiTvhUp2xv_h
by Damien Willey
(15:06)
Dockworkers in Genoa have become the latest to block an Israeli rms shipment, but something even bigger is on the horizon...
Right, so If you want to know who’s actually trying to stop the slaughter in Gaza, don’t waste your time squinting at the photo-ops from summits or parsing the careful euphemisms of “deep concern” from Western foreign ministries. Look to the quaysides. Look to the men and women in hi-vis vests, not tailored suits, who can smell a weapons shipment before the ink is dry on the shipping manifest and who don’t need a UN resolution to tell them it’s wrong to help send it.
In Genoa this past week, they didn’t just hold placards for the cameras. They boarded a Saudi-owned ship, the Bahri Yanbu, stuffed with military cargo — some of it made right there in Italy — destined, via the usual webs of plausible deniability, to fuel Israel’s war on Gaza. They documented it, made it public, and refused to lift a finger to move it, as their fellow dockworkers in France, or Spain, or Morocco or Greece have done before them, the dissent growing around the Mediterranean against touching the tools of genocide. Meanwhile, Giorgia Meloni’s government, so fond of voicing “concerns” over civilian casualties, was busy making arms exports easier, not harder. So it fell to the dockers to enforce the very laws their leaders were gutting, to take the kind of action that can actually choke a war machine. And they did it without the theatrics of summitry or the moral cowardice of “both sides” diplomacy — just a simple, defiant, working-class “no.”
Right, so in the half-light of early morning on 7 August, the quayside at Genoa’s Ponte Etiopia looked like any other workday. Forklifts and cranes stood ready, ships lay berthed, and the usual hum of activity was beginning to stir. But that morning, the rhythms of commerce were broken by the purposeful arrival of a different kind of shift. Forty dockworkers, many wearing the red vests of Italy’s trade union federation USB and carrying the flags of the Collettivo Autonomo Lavoratori Portuali (CALP), another Italian trade union, marched towards a hulking roll-on/roll-off cargo vessel: the Bahri Yanbu.

“Dr. Reiner Fuellmich: ‘All this chaos is staged and just an illusion to put us in panic mode’”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/dr-reiner-fuellmich-all-chaos-staged-illusion-put-panic-mode/5897595
by John C. A. Manley
In a phone message recorded in June from a high-security prison in Germany, Dr. Reiner Fuellmich calmly explained that most of the “chaos” we see in the world right now is an “illusion” to keep us in “panic mode.”
Now, if anybody had a right to panic, it would be Fuellmich, a lawyer who headed up the German Coronavirus Investigative Committee. He’s been in prison now for over 19 months for exposing the COVID-19 fraud.
Under German law, prisoners can only be held for six months and then must go to trial. Instead, Fuellmich spent six months enduring “white torture” — solitary confinement in a white cell. He explains that the wardens said this was necessary because he was talking to Muslim inmates. Fuellmich comments that this fabricated violation is hard to avoid in German jails, as most of the prisoners are Muslim.
His daily one-hour walk in the yard has also been suspended multiple times as punishment for simply waving at one of his Muslim inmates.
In addition to white torture, Fuellmich told his lawyer that he has witnessed “a lot of strange medical and psychological experiments going on that kill and maim prisoners.”
When not in his cell, Fuellmich is treated like one of the most dangerous men alive. He says that his guard, “ties a wide leather belt around my waist and then puts on handcuffs that are attached to the belt with chains, which in turn are secured with a large padlock.”
What was Fuellmich’s crime?
Officially, he was charged with failing to pay back an illegal loan and breaking a “secret agreement.” Unofficially, his only offence was gathering evidence from expert witnesses around the world showing how the COVID-19 scamdemic was, as he says, the “greatest crime in the history of humanity.”
READ MORE: The Corona Scandal: “The Greatest Crime Against Humanity Ever Committed,” Says Investigative Team
In a statement to BAM! News, Fuellmich observed that he was not the only full accused prisoner being detained:
[Translated from French] I have not met a single accused person whom I would call “evil.” I have met many, really many pre-trial detainees who seem innocent to me, or who, above all, need therapeutic treatment — as even a prison doctor admitted. If we no longer needed a few prisons for a handful of sociopaths — for example, those responsible for the pandemic, wars, massacres like those in Gaza, and the corruption in the system — I would support abolishing prisons.
Fuellmich has also missed the death and funeral of his mother. He is allowed only three hours a month of visits or phone calls with family. And his wife has fled the tyranny of Germany for an undisclosed location in the Wild West of Mexico.
Despite all those hardships, Fuellmich made this bold proclamation in his most recent phone message from prison: Your browser does not support the audio element.
I’m still standing. Nothing will change that because I am convinced that in all this chaos that seems to be consuming this planet, we, and I in particular, need to stay calm and focused, and realize that all this chaos is staged and just an illusion to put us in panic mode. This is psychological warfare. I’ve said this many times before. We, the humans, the real humans, on this side of the fence, know and sense this, and we need to take responsibility for our own lives very, very soon, as the crash is now imminent. It will be up to us to bring the monsters to justice. And that we will do. We can and must do it, I believe.
You can hear Fuellmich’s entire recorded message, find out how to make a donation towards his legal fees, or send letters and postcards of encouragement at the Dr. Reiner Fuellmich Substack.

In this incisive interview, renowned political realist Prof. John Mearsheimer lays bare the pitfalls of U.S. foreign policy under Donald Trump, portraying America as an untrustworthy "rogue state" whose erratic threats and coercive tactics are alienating key allies and bolstering rivals like China. Mearsheimer dissects Trump's impulsive diplomacy—firing off ultimatums to nations such as China, India, and Russia over energy and trade—that often fizzle out, eroding global confidence in Washington. He warns that this shortsighted approach is pushing partners like Japan and South Korea toward Beijing, complicating America's pivot to counter China, while debunking Russophobic narratives that paint Vladimir Putin as inherently deceptive and highlighting the consistency in Russia's strategic aims amid the Ukraine conflict. Unpack vital insights on: Trump's "seat-of-the-pants" style and its role in damaging alliances through lose-win deals How U.S. unilateralism invites competitors to exploit divisions in Asia and beyond The myth of Putin's unreliability versus evidence of targeted military operations, not civilian terror Long-term risks of frozen conflicts and perpetual antagonism toward Russia in a shifting 2025 landscape Regardless of where you stand on Mearsheimer's unflinching critique, this exchange is essential for unpacking the fragility of U.S. global standing and the dangers of inconsistent power plays.

“When Religious Mafia &
Rightwing Extremists Take Over”
with Chris Hedges and Rollo Romig
(48:03)
One
of the most stark examples of the expanding tide of
authoritarianism worldwide was the 2017 murder of Gauri
Lankesh, an Indian journalist and activist, allegedly
assassinated by a far-right religious group in India for her fearless
journalism.
Joining
host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report is Rollo Romig, a journalist whose Pulitzer Prize-finalist book, I
Am On the Hit List: A Journalist’s Murder and the Ruse of Autocracy in India,
examines the historic and political context of Lankesh’s
murder.
Romig chronicles the rise of Hindu nationalist extremism in India, linking
it to India’s current authoritarian policies under Narendra
Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The group accused of Lankesh’s assassination, Sanatan Sanstha, operates on the vision “of making India an
officially Hindu country and, equally importantly, relegating all non-Hindus to
second-class citizenship and ostracizing, particularly, Muslims from Hindu
society,” according to Romig.
Much
like in the United States, Romig and Hedges argue
that such fringe groups serve a strategic purpose of mainstreaming extremist
ideologies that ultimately benefit the ruling class. Gauri’s
work represented a threat to far-right political movements in India and she was
often subjected to fierce intimidation campaigns, including,
as the title of Romig’s book suggests, being
placed on murder hit lists.
