The Essay: Hannah-Jones said she and her husband made the decision to enroll her daughter, Najya, in Public School 307 – a segregated, high-poverty school in New York – when Najya was in pre-K as part of an effort to help "dismantle educational inequality." Hannah-Jones wrote that she realized she'd "failed both my values and my child" after Najya, now 16-years-old, discovered her school's test scores were below-state average. According to Hannah-Jones, she believed by enrolling Najya in this school, she could help invest in the school and encourage improvements from within. Hannah-Jones compared her efforts to previous challenges against racism, segregation and inequality in educational institutions by black parents since the 1950s, but ultimately concluded that her daughter's "sacrifice could not transform a system" that remains apathetic to improving equality.
Race Isn't the Problem: An opinion in New York Post (Right) by Sam Munson argued that Hannah-Jones was wrong in assuming "whiter and wealthier schools are necessarily better ones." Munson described his kids' educational experience at a Title I, majority-Latino school as "good to excellent" and said "nebulous racists" aren't the problem with educational failure. He argued the solution is for New York to increase the number of screened schools and "raise and harden academic standards." Munson said one aspect of Hannah-Jones' assessment was correct: "The wealthy liberals who spent a decade beating their breasts about their own alleged complicity in 'white supremacy' will bear any burden and pay any price to avoid educating their children in the same schools as lower-income black and Latino kids — no matter how high-quality those schools may be."
School Choice: Billy Binion (Center) sympathized with Hannah-Jones in his Reason (Center) opinion piece, but argued she came to the wrong conclusion on school choice. Binion wrote that her "antipathy to school choice" makes racial segregation in US schools worse and that despite Hannah-Jones describing issues of school choice and lack of financial resources, the results of her experiment didn't "appear to readjust her worldview in a meaningful way." He challenged the idea that funding is the primary reason for low performing schools, instead saying it's how schools are organized, the incentives within them and the concentration of disadvantaged students. A National Review (Right) opinion writer also argued for school choice, saying that Hannah-Jones is still on the side of educators who "failed" Najya by "portraying school choice as a racist scam and complaining about a lack of resources."
Challenges of the Education System: In an opinion for Salon (Left), Alex Galbraith highlighted debates that followed Hannah-Jones ' essay, including on school choice, and pushed back against assertions that wanting the best for your child is "a betrayal of egalitarian ideals." Galbraith argued that it's easy to point fingers and claim hypocrisy, but that thinking about "the advantages and disadvantages baked into the system" that Hannah-Jones described "strays too far from the preferred framework of school choice advocates and other conservatives." An MS NOW (Left) opinion writer furthered this argument by writing that NYC public schools have "deep, relentless and intentional segregation." The writer contended that black parents are "presented with false 'choices' from the start" by having to choose in a system that "maintain[s] at least one of the three tiers of school segregation."
Paramount cleared the final hurdle to merge with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) after resolving an antitrust lawsuit delaying the acquisition.
For Context: Paramount in December launched what some called a "hostile bid" for WBD to outbid Netflix and is now set to pay $111 billion. The ordeal until Monday was stuck in litigation, with a coalition of 12 states trying to stop the deal from occurring. Paramount CEO David Ellison is expected to take control of all WBD's assets by early October, including CNN News (Lean Left bias).
"Cooler Heads Have Prevailed": The New York Post (Right) editorial board said the "deal is going through—and that's a good thing," adding that the "unnecessary Paramount drama" is a "Hollywood happy ending." The board highlighted that "Left-wing activists are upset," saying "It's ironic that the same crowd that accuses President Donald Trump of trying to control the media by pulling White House access wants to control the media by controlling who owns what." According to the article, "cooler heads have prevailed, showing California still has some common sense and good will, even if they take a while to turn up."
"Reason To Worry": Opinion writer Brian Steinberg for Variety (Lean Left) said CNN staffers "thought the news giant's path to the future was becoming more clear," until a "new fog" Steinberg called the win by Paramount "set in." While "linear ratings are down noticeably from the era when it [CNN] won notice for its aggressive coverage of President Trump's first term," Steinberg asserted that the "outlet appeared to have found its groove" in recent weeks. Steinberg cited Paramount's "controversial" management of CBS News, saying it "has not been good for the business of the news unit" and gives CNN personnel "reason to worry." Since Bari Weiss took over CBS as editor in chief Steinberg explained, there has been "unnecessary scrutiny to news reports, and anchors have made public entreaties on Instagram when people post notes suggesting that Weiss' background as a digital entrepreneur and provocative opinion writer have [sic] muddied the newsgathering network."
The state of Florida and a New York-based think tank filed a lawsuit against The New York Times Company (NYT) on Wednesday, seeking internal documents to determine whether the company is allowing its paper to be biased against Israel.
The Suit: The suit was filed by NYT shareholders, the State Board of Administration of Florida (SBA), and the self-described "nonpartisan, free-market, independent conservative" National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) think tank.
The Demand: On May 29, the National Jewish Advocacy Center (NJAC), acting on behalf of NCPPR, requested to examine the company's records to see whether it "failed to adequately discharge their fiduciary duties with respect to material legal, reputational, and financial risks arising from the Company's publication of factually unsupported content." The NCPPR took issue with an opinion from Nicholas Kristof titled "The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians," which it described as "controversial." The NJAC stated that the NCPPR has the right to inspect the company's records as shareholders under New York law, NY BCL § 624. The NCPPR said shareholders have been requesting the records for months. In its news coverage of the suit, The New York Times (Lean Left bias) said in August it refused to turn over the records.
Florida Context: Florida's SBA is responsible for the state's investment funds, including its pension program. The Times reported that, according to its most recent SEC filing, Florida holds about 145,000 shares of NYT. In February 2025, the Florida SBA sued retail company Target, alleging it "misled investors" with its promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Key Quotes: Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier discussed the lawsuit in a conference at Miami-Dade College and wrote on X that the suit was filed for the good of "Florida's 1.2 million public retirees." Uthmeier said the suit is not a "challenge to any certain article or editorial discretion" and that news outlets "certainly have First Amendment rights," but about "legal responsibilities and duties" to shareholders. Uthmeier said the SBA observed 72 recent errors The Times made that involved "pro-Hamas" bias and "had to be retracted." Charlie Stadtlander, a spokesman for The Times, said, "This lawsuit has no merit and was brought for an improper purpose. Although it is positioned as a corporate governance petition to inspect the company's books and records, it is a transparent attempt to exert agenda-driven pressure against an independent media organization, level false allegations of bias and chill journalism protected by the First Amendment."
Whistleblower:The Free Press (Lean Right), which AllSides has previously observed as being "very pro-Israel," reported speaking to an unnamed former Jewish Times employee. According to the suit, she had raised concerns about antisemitism and anti-Israel bias 15 times between 2019 and her March 2026 departure from the outlet. She told The Free Press, "The public deserves a better picture of how the Times manufactures the news when Jews or Israel are involved."
How The Media Covered It: The Free Press' coverage focused heavily on the whistleblower's account and allegations of bias at the paper. In its news coverage, The New York Times described Utheimer as "an aggressive conservative culture warrior" who is currently running to retain his post as attorney general. Reuters (Centers) argued in news coverage that the suit "escalates a growing battle nationwide over journalistic independence" and cited the recent confrontation between the Trump administration and several major news networks.
Editor's Note: A previous version of this headline incorrectly mentioned "pro-Israel bias" instead of "anti-Israel bias." We apologize for any confusion this caused.
There have been many tipping points in history; to name just a few examples:
The Peace of Westphalia in 1648
The French Revolution of 1789
The Congress of Vienna in 1815
World War I in 1918
World War II in 1945
Many of these turning points led to shifts in power in Europe. These were merely transfers of power within the world we now call the “Collective” West. Examples include the collapse of the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Russian Tsarist Empire at the end of World War I.
These shifts in power were significant, yet what is happening now cannot be compared to past turning points, as they encompass the entire globe. The reins of power are not being handed over within the West; rather, there will be a shift in power toward the East and the “Global South.”
From Tipping Point to Entropy
The scale, the number of nations involved, the geographic scope, and the speed at which the current geopolitical crises are unfolding are truly astonishing.
Ukraine as a War Platform for the U.S., NATO, the EU, and Russia
Russia Will Prevail Militarily
Looking at the military reports from the front lines, it becomes clear to any observer that Russia will achieve its military objectives. While Russia might have relinquished the Donbas, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia had a peace agreement been successfully concluded in the spring of 2022, such an agreement is unrealistic under the current circumstances, as Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson have been part of the Russian Federation since September 2022. It is currently unclear how far the Russian military advance will go. I have commented on this in my article “The Summer Peace Died,” to which I refer. For the situation on the front lines, I once again refer to Military Summary; I have been following this channel for nearly five years, and it provides objective reporting.
Catastrophic Mobilization Situation in Ukraine
There are thousands of videos showing young men being hunted down like animals on the streets throughout Ukraine in order to forcibly recruit them. Recently, however, videos have also been circulating that show some of those forcibly recruited being transported to the front lines without uniforms and even in handcuffs, like criminals—to prevent them from escaping. I’ll leave it to the readers to ponder the combat effectiveness of these men against battle-hardened and motivated Russian soldiers.
Armed guards transport mobilized Ukrainian men to frontline in order to prevent them from deserting. This is described as normal by the Ukrainian officer. Videos also show them in handcuffs. Zelensky & Western politicians call this freedom & democracy. pic.twitter.com/f6AGyuMpRX
The latest move by the Ukrainian military leadership is to forcibly conscript women. Given this situation, it’s no surprise that Scott Ritter stated that the Ukrainians are losing 30 times more soldiers than Russia. We hear nothing in the West about this inhumane treatment of their own soldiers in Ukraine.
Ukrainian volunteers, who later disappeared without a trace, are said to have used drones and artificial intelligence to count the number of soldiers’ graves throughout Ukraine. They counted 2,000,054 graves. Added to this are the dead buried by their own people in mass graves and the wounded—the Ukrainians’ losses do indeed appear to be astronomical. Nevertheless, Zelenskyy claims that only 50,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed. A few weeks ago, I attended a funeral in Russia. The soldiers’ graves are easily identifiable by the Russian flag and the flag of the fallen soldier’s unit. There were soldiers’ graves, but no sea of flags like in Ukraine.

Military Victory Does Not Solve Russia’s Geopolitical Problem
Whatever needs to be achieved militarily, Russia will achieve it; however, this does not resolve Russia’s geopolitical problem on its western border, because the goal is not new territories, but peace in the West—a goal that Russia has literally been striving for centuries and has never been able to achieve. Time and again, Russia has been attacked from the West and has regularly paid a high price in blood, money, and industrial capacity—resources diverted to military spending rather than civilian purposes. As a result, Russia’s social development has been repeatedly set back.
If Russia wants to keep pace with the major powers in terms of its civilian economy in a sustainable manner, reliably securing its western border is an absolute prerequisite. Although Russia is the only industrialized nation in the world that is self-sufficient and thus capable of waging a war lasting decades, such a confrontation would massively hinder the country from achieving its actual development goals.
The U.S.’s Lack of Credibility in Negotiations with Russia
The U.S.’s lack of credibility in the eyes of Russia is multifaceted. On September 15, Foreign Minister Lavrov said, verbatim:
“If the Americans hadn’t backed away from the Anchorage agreements, if Europe hadn’t pulled them away from those agreements, we would have been living without war for a year now.” – Sergey Lavrov, September 15, 2026
Under this agreement, Russia would have made major concessions. Russia would have retained the Donbas, frozen the conflict in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, and relinquished further territories. Objectively speaking, this was a bad deal for Russia, but it demonstrated the Russians’ considerable willingness to compromise. The Russians assumed that this verbal agreement was binding as a gentlemen’s agreement. However, gentlemen’s agreements should only be made with gentlemen. The Americans taught the Russians otherwise. The Russians are dismayed about this incident and have had to admit that no agreements are possible with the U.S. government. Personally, I’m surprised by the fact that this realization came so late. Even written agreements with the U.S. government are not to be trusted. This was evident in the breach of the Memorandum of Understanding that the Americans signed with Iran in June. Thus, one must conclude that this conflict—or any conflict in which the U.S. is directly or indirectly involved—must be fought to the bitter end. A bitter lesson for every contractual partner of the U.S.
The Risk of Escalation is Significant
Ukraine is desperately trying to officially draw NATO into this military conflict. It is astonishing that European countries—above all Germany and the United Kingdom—are not only signaling their willingness to do so, but are actually doing everything they can to prepare their people for a war with Russia.
Instead of naming many people, we’ll use Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg—former cabinet minister and Member of Parliament for North East Somerset—as an example. In this excerpt from an interview, he compares the situation with Russia—without naming it—to the situations during World War I and World War II:
European leaders are currently pivoting from “this is not our war” to “it’s your duty to die in a war with Russia.” pic.twitter.com/h2M0CBpk0g
Young people are thus being called to arms to prepare for war against Russia. In Germany, such efforts have failed miserably. Of the more than 300,000 young Germans surveyed, only 0.17% volunteered to serve in the Bundeswehr. Furthermore, it came to light a few days ago that the Bundeswehr itself could not even find 5,000 volunteers for a battalion in Latvia.
It is incomprehensible what these European countries are up to besides spreading propaganda. Even combined, the European countries do not possess military forces that would give them even the slightest chance of standing up to the Russian armed forces. The Russians are by no means impressed by this farce in Europe—they are disgusted by it. I assume that this war propaganda in Europe serves only to perpetuate the anti-Russian narrative.
Both President Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov have repeatedly emphasized that they have no interest in attacking NATO targets outside Ukraine. However, if European countries are foolish enough to send even small European military contingents to Ukraine, the situation could change abruptly.
The greatest risk of escalation at the moment is that the Europeans, presumably in collaboration with the Americans, are planning a false flag attack in Europe in order to somehow trigger Article 5 of the NATO Charter. According to geopolitical analyst Warren Thornton, preparations for false flag attacks are in full swing. He writes on X:
THE FALSE FLAG
These are the areas that are the targets. The Mallorca airport in Spain. The Sorrento Continental Hotel in Italy. The Promenade De Anglais, Nice. The area to be launched from west of Sardinia. The agencies involved CIA, French Naval Intelligence Services and the… pic.twitter.com/ThDYyuZBOz
I can’t say whether this theory is correct, but it’s by no means far-fetched that the Europeans would attempt something so outrageous.
U.S. Military Campaigns in the Middle East Beginning in 2001
Looking back over the past 25 years, the U.S. has sought to reshape the Middle East according to the Wolfowitz Doctrine since 2001. None of the wars the U.S. launched during this period (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, etc.) were successful. In fact, it was already evident back then that the hegemon lacked the resources, military strategy, strength, and credibility needed to act successfully. However, if one’s view is that the actual intent was destabilization and chaos, then they were extremely successful. Nevertheless, they returned to the plan in collaboration with Israel, apparently after Israel had succeeded in completely undermining American policy.
Israel: Genocide and Greater Israel
The immediate starting signal for the “Genocide” and “Greater Israel” projects was given on October 7, 2023, when a military operation by Hamas was turned into a false flagattack to justify the genocide against women, children, and other civilians in Gaza and, later, in the West Bank and Lebanon. This, in turn, served as the starting signal for the continuation of the Greater Israel project; initially, Syria and Lebanon were attacked. Although the Western press not only downplays Israel’s genocidal and imperialist actions but also fully supports and fuels them—including through the media of “neutral” Switzerland—Israel is viewed with increasing criticism by the general public in the Western world. According to Pew Research, 60% of Americans view Israel negatively. The Western media thus conveys an image that finds no resonance among the general public.
When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the podium to address the plenary session on Thursday, delegates to the UN General Assembly left the hall in droves.

It is important to me to continually remind my Western readers of what is actually happening in Gaza right before our eyes—eyes that many choose to close.
Major Escalation in the Middle East—Loss of Control
Starting in February 2026, events began to accelerate even further. Since then, everything has gone wrong for the West and Israel in the Middle East. The Global South has already wrested the initiative from the West. While Iran initially limited itself to responding to American-Israeli aggression, it is now the Iranians and the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement who are setting the pace.
Ansar Allah managed to bring the entire western coast of Yemen under its control in a very short time and thus controls not only the Bab al-Mandab Strait but also the island of Perim Mayyun off the coast. With virtually no Western media coverage, the advance continues, and it is quite possible that Aden will soon be captured.
Furthermore, the Saudis’ East-West pipeline was paralyzed and targets near Riyadh were attacked. So far, the Saudis have been unable to mount a serious military response to this large-scale attack, as they do not seem capable of doing so on their own, and repeated calls for help to Trump and others have been in vain. The Mecca Alliance, which unites Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey in a military alliance, also appears to be a thing of the past, as even these “friends” refused to provide assistance.
President Macron’s grand announcement that he will send troops to Saudi Arabia won’t change any of that. “Arabia” is called Saudi Arabia because this country is ruled by a family—a tribe—the Sauds. A tribe that is protected by the Americans. However, there are approximately 100 other tribes within Saudi Arabia. It’s very possible that they could join forces with Ansar Allah and overthrow the House of Saud. The House of Saud no longer has any income and seems unable to continue buying off—as it has done until now—all those who could pose a threat to them. There’s a chance that the Saud house of cards will collapse, and if that happens, I wouldn’t give a penny for the remaining Gulf states.
Alastair Crooke also pointed out on several occasions that this dynamic could spill over into Iraq, another millennia-old civilization alongside Iran. If that happens, Kuwait will likely fall as well. Another smoldering conflict can also be detected in Jordan. It is therefore quite possible that the entire structure in the Middle East established by the British a good 100 years ago could collapse within a few months, without the Americans being able to stop this tsunami in any way. Arabia to the Arabs, Persia to the Persians, and the Americans out for good. If this happens, Israel will go from perpetrator to target; one certainly cannot speak of it as a victim in this context. How the emerging great powers of the Middle East will deal with the genocidal Zionists should be left to those who have suffered the greatest losses, for Palestinians are Arabs.
Europe
Chaos is once again rearing its head in Europe. Germany is the first country—once the world’s leading exporter and the major power in the EU—that is in danger of becoming politically ungovernable. The Alternative for Germany (AfD), which has been labeled as far-right and Hitler-like by the previously dominant parties and excluded from government participation by a so-called firewall, not only won landslide victories in two state elections in eastern Germany but also leads the CDU by a clear margin in national polls (30% to 20%). Chancellor Merz’s approval rating stands at 10 percent—a barometer that reveals the people’s dissatisfaction and would have driven any truly democratic chancellor to resign. Whether the Germans, in light of this political situation, will clench their fists and do nothing, as they have in the past, remains uncertain. The chancellor’s downfall would be good for Germany. The AfD is the only major party seeking dialogue and peace with Russia, which is not only desperately needed by this once-thriving industrial nation but is also a prerequisite without which it cannot survive economically. The alternative to real and fundamental political change in Germany is the war against Russia sought by Chancellor Merz and the ruling political elites. The last time Germany went to war against Russia in 1941, Adolf Hitler sent 3.7 million soldiers eastward and failed, despite the Germans’ genocidal behavior, which cost the lives of approximately 17 million civilians. As already explained above, the Federal Republic of Germany today finds itself unable to assemble a brigade of 5,000 volunteer soldiers for the Baltic states. This does not seem to concern the chancellor, which is a clear sign of the madness that has taken hold of him. This is strong evidence that he is acting in the interests of a power located outside Germany. One would be a naughty person to believe that this has anything to do with his BlackRock past. Those who managed to install him as chancellor can pat themselves on the back, as they’ve snagged a puppet at the bargain price of a few million.
The following clip shows how the new leadership in Berlin is presenting itself—the Left has taken over. No words needed:
The situation in the rest of Europe is no more encouraging. The presidential election in France will take place in April 2027. Macron is no longer eligible to run, and Marine Le Pen has a significant lead over the other candidates. The situation is thus similar to that in Germany: a party that is denounced as far-right by the parties currently in power, yet is the most popular among the people. Le Pen’s position on peace with Russia is unclear—she seems to be speaking with a forked tongue: on the one hand, she wants a negotiated peace, but at the same time supports the training of Ukrainian troops. A seasoned politician who positions herself to capture as many votes as possible. France’s financial situation is grim, with no silver lining. The rise in the interest rate on 10-year French bonds over the past twelve months has been even steeper than in any other European country.
Trump
President Trump’s policies only seem difficult to understand at first glance. His constant flip-flopping on Ukraine, Iran, and Israel is counterproductive and damaging to the U.S.’s reputation on the world stage. The reason behind Trump’s current actions is the midterm elections in November. Trump is struggling with the high oil prices he himself has caused, which he can prevent from spiraling out of control by manipulating the futures markets. However, actual market prices are 30% to 50% higher than the manipulated, fantasy futures prices. The fact that futures prices are indeed manipulated is evident, for example, in diesel prices at gas stations, which are moving in only one direction and have reached unprecedented levels worldwide. Diesel is the lifeblood of the American economy, and high prices are one of the biggest drivers of inflation, since virtually all goods are transported by trucks, agriculture depends on it, and large parts of industry rely on diesel. Trump’s latest farce: He’s blaming Zelenskyy for the high diesel prices because Ukraine is attacking Russian refineries; he’s doing this solely to divert attention from the biggest price drivers—the blockades of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab.
Somehow, Trump wants to turn things around, but it seems that he will lose the midterm elections coming up in about six weeks. According to Polymarket, an American online prediction market where users bet on the outcomes of future events—with market prices reflecting collective probability estimates—the probability that the Republicans will lose their majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate stands at 66%. Should this come to pass, Trump will likely face impeachment proceedings. He then runs the risk of going from a lame duck to a dead duck and being replaced by his turncoat vice president, Vance—not a promising outlook for the United States.
Trump’s latest appearance this week before the UN General Assembly was a testament to his psychopathic nature: He announced—nota bene after the election—that he would either make Iran a rich country or obliterate it completely.
Trump is every bit as bad as Adolf Hitler. In his speech at the Berlin Sportpalast on September 4, 1940, Hitler said, “We will wipe out their cities.” Trump wants to wipe out a 5,000-year-old civilization—without any legal basis, of course—acting like a god. In doing so, Trump is publicly calling for the genocide of an entire civilization. One might wonder whether he belongs in prison or in a psychiatric hospital, but the fact that he can make such statements before a global audience with impunity shows the depths to which Western civilization has sunk. I refer to a speech I gave in Switzerland on September 3.
The Financial Markets
I have made numerous comments on the instability of the financial markets. Now my dire predictions seem to be coming true. In addition to the overvaluations in the stock markets, I have repeatedly pointed out the unsustainable situation in the bond markets. Among the more astute market participants, fear is beginning to set in. Mr. Bessent has lost control of interest rates. On August 28, 2026, I looked at the average interest rate the U.S. had to pay on its debt; at that time, it stood at 3.35% (May), resulting in an annual interest burden of 1,340 billion. Today, this average interest rate stands at 3.49% (August); the debt mountain currently stands at 40,070 billion, meaning it has already increased by another 70 billion. Annual interest payments have thus risen by 56 billion to 1,396 billion per year in this short period of time.
Over the past 28 days, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond has risen from 4.722% to 5.185%, an increase of 0.46%. It does not appear that this trend will change. If this pace continues, not only will the government bond market collapse, but so will the towering mountains of debt in the AI sector. The same picture is emerging in Europe and Japan as well. The question isn’t whether the collapse will happen, but when—and who the U.S. will let go first: the Japanese or the Europeans. That is my personal opinion. When it comes to timing, I’m regularly wrong, which has taught me not to be active in these markets. I have the great privilege of meeting regularly with one of the world’s most successful investors. At our last meeting, he agreed with me in principle but remarked that I couldn’t possibly imagine what tricks and means the Americans still have at their disposal to delay the inevitable.
The scale of this crisis will dwarf anything humanity has ever seen. Compared to today, the 2008 crisis was a stroll through a sunny park with a delicious picnic. Such a collapse in the West will also affect the countries concerned’s geopolitical freedom of action; suddenly, everyone will be very preoccupied with their own problems. No one knows whether this will lead to an escalation in the geopolitical arena. What is certain, however, is that the “experts”—who are still driving the markets forward with their jubilant cheers—will solemnly declare that this simply could not have been foreseen—as always.
Entropy
All of these individual tectonic shifts lead to what can be described as entropy, a term from thermodynamics. Applied to geopolitics, I describe the situation as a massive, irreversible state of disorder and uncertainty within the various international systems. Existing power structures, rules, institutions, and hierarchies are losing their cohesive power, and a new order that would promise stability is not in sight.
For the collective West, which until recently held the reins firmly in its hands, is unwilling to make compromises so as not to jeopardize its position as a hegemon.
The Global South, taken by surprise by the rapid pace of events, has not yet devised a coherent, unified, and effective policy to wrest power from the West.
It appears that the Global South, under the military dominance of Russia, China, and—most recently, Iran as the fourth major military power—is in the process of adapting to the new circumstances and coordinating its efforts, which will ultimately lead to its victory.
How long this will take, however, and whether the West will use nuclear weapons to maintain its hegemony remains to be seen—though I would like to express my doubts on this point. So far, only Adolf Hitler believed that Germany should go down with him. Let’s hope that cooler heads are in control of the apocalyptic buttons.
A 2-year-old boy traveling with his mother toward the Canary Island of Lanzarote was allegedly thrown into the sea from a migrant boat because he would not stop crying, according to an official who oversees the island’s emergency response.
Enrique Espinosa, manager of the Security and Emergencies Consortium of Lanzarote’s island council, or Cabildo, recounted the episode on the Crónicas Radio program “A Buena Hora.”
He mentioned the case of the child when he was asked about a sexual assault of a woman during a boat crossing for which three men were arrested and sent to provisional prison.
According to Espinosa, the child’s case was among the “even more terrible” events emergency services have encountered.
“On a boat, they threw a 2-year-old boy who was crying with his mother into the water,” Espinosa said. He added that passengers’ accounts describe situations “bordering on a lack of humanity.”
However, the fate of the 2-year-old remains an open question. Espinosa did not say when the alleged incident occurred, whether the child was recovered or whether anyone has been arrested in connection with it. The radio program’s host did not ask any follow-up questions about the child.
Espinosa described a situation of growing pressure, stating: “Since June, arrivals have increased due to the Ceuta effect and there is less control on the Moroccan border.”
The remarks came after Spain’s National Police arrested three men, ages 21, 25 and 30, as the alleged perpetrators of a sexual assault during a Sept. 16 crossing bound for Lanzarote. The investigation also located a witness who was traveling on the same boat. The three suspects were later placed in provisional detention.
Police said the woman reported the assault after the vessel reached the port of Arrecife. Coast guard crews rescued 65 survivors from that crossing and recovered three bodies from the water.
The account of the child coincided with several days of heavy boat arrivals on Lanzarote. Espinosa said eight boats had reached the island in just two days, carrying more than 400 migrants, and that emergency workers had treated numerous people for dehydration, hypothermia and injuries from blows.
Arch-Technocrat Elon Musk wants to go to Mars with 1 million people to establish a Technocracy in space. Everything that he has done with SpaceX enshrines that goal. Along the way, he has littered outer space with his junk. Imagine the trail of trash from Earth to Mars, and then the trash heaps on Mars itself. Didn’t his mother ever tell him to clean up his messes? ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.
As early as next week, the world will leave behind 69 years of space exploration and commerce and enter the age of Starship, an era that will be defined by drastically lower launch costs and a notable increase in the amount of material humans send to orbit.
SpaceX is scheduled as soon as Monday to launch its huge reusable rocket into orbit for the first time on its maiden commercial mission to deploy the company’s new V3 satellites. Although SpaceX won’t attempt to recapture either the booster or the second-stage spacecraft, the company has already demonstrated it can catch the booster, and it made a controlled landing of Starship in the Indian Ocean, paving the way for routine capture of both stages for reuse, which is the key to lower costs and more frequent launches.
The industry already got a taste of lower launch costs with SpaceX’s partially reusable Falcon 9 rocket, whose booster is retrievable. Worldwide orbital launches tripled to 329 last year from 102 in 2019. Falcon 9 accounted for half of those 2025 launches and carried more than 80% of payloads by tonnage. Starship is designed with a payload capacity of 100 metric tons, more than five times Falcon 9’s capacity to low Earth orbit.
The downside to this new era in space exploration is that humans are likely to leave much more debris floating around in orbit. It will take a concerted effort by nations and companies — from prevention to new technologies — to avoid turning space into a gigantic junkyard that puts satellites and other spacecraft at risk.
Europe and the US have taken the lead on best practices to avoid space junk, but there are no mandates nor penalties. And a worldwide effort is unlikely to coalesce. The US and Russia are responsible for the most debris in space because they’ve been launching the longest, but China is catching up quickly with its aggressive space program. And the US added new tension this month when it confirmed that it has weapons in space after warning that China and Russia are developing their own, an effort that may accelerate with the US’ push to create a Golden Dome defense system. A shooting war in space could cripple satellite communication on Earth and spread even more debris.
Regardless of weaponization, space is only going to get more crowded, especially in low Earth orbit, where countries and companies want to emulate SpaceX’s massive constellation of about 10,000 active satellites.
Even though most companies have adopted best practices to avoid leaving space debris in orbit, accidents are inevitable. For orbits that are 500 kilometers (310 miles) above Earth and lower — where SpaceX deploys almost all its satellites — the drag from the atmosphere pulls down objects in a relatively short time, and they burn up before reaching the ground. At higher altitudes with less drag, objects can stay in orbit for years and even decades.
Unfortunately, thousands of old satellites and rocket boosters are already still floating around space, and many of these were abandoned before the best practices of burning off remaining fuel and disconnecting batteries. Old fuel tanks and batteries degrade over the years and can explode spontaneously, sending debris in all directions — some of which gets caught in orbit and can linger for decades.
Just as humans continue to dump trash in the ocean even though the alarm bells have been ringing for years about the problems of floating refuse islands, space debris has been accumulating even though the threat was flagged decades ago. In 1978, a paper published by two scientists — Donald Kessler and Burton Cour-Palais — spelled out the devastating scenario in which space junk becomes so prevalent that it creates runaway crashes that spiral out of control and make certain orbits unusable.
Concern over this so-called Kessler Syndrome and large space junk, such as Skylab, spurred NASA to create its Orbital Debris Program Office in 1979 to track defunct satellites, spent rocket bodies and other debris. The first known collision by space junk was recorded in 1996, when debris from a rocket that had exploded a decade earlier hit a French military satellite. In a famous incident in 2009, an abandoned Russian military communications satellite crashed into an Iridium commercial satellite, significantly increasing space debris.
A report by the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee this year says statistical models show tens of thousands of pieces of space junk larger than 10 centimeters (3.9 inches) and hundreds of thousands of debris objects larger than 1 centimeter. These small pieces travel at tremendous speeds and can cause significant damage, said Nilton Rennó, a professor at the University of Michigan who tracks small orbital debris.
“There are many unexplained satellite accidents that people have been blaming on debris,” he said in an interview. “But no one really knows.”
With launch activity increasing, continued fragmentation of space junk and little progress in objects leaving orbit, the report estimates the number of debris larger than 10 centimeters will more than double in less than 50 years.
SpaceX has taken steps to reduce space junk. The company said in February that in 2024 it left 13 upper stages of its Falcon 9 in orbit out of 134 successful missions and lowered that to only three out of 165 launches last year. Of those 16 upper stages left as debris, all were emptied of fuel, and six have since reentered the atmosphere. More may have left orbit since that February statement. The upper stage of a Falcon 9 that deployed lunar landers in 2025 for two companies finally crashed into the moon in August.
SpaceX runs a system to track space objects and opened it up to any entity willing to provide satellite trajectories. The system predicts when two objects are on a collision course and automatically sends alerts to the operators. The satellites’ positions can then be adjusted to avoid the collision. The downside is that satellites must burn fuel to avoid objects, which shortens their life. The International Space Station has to fire its thrusters to avoid large space junk a few times each year.
Technologies to actively remove debris are still in the experimental stage. Even if they prove successful, they will be expensive and target only large objects. The best action is prevention. It would be a shame that just as technology has made space much more accessible, the future would be cluttered by hubris and carelessness.
Space should be the final frontier — not the latest dumping ground.
Filhos de colaboradores da EMARP deram voz às personagens da história inspirada nos profissionais que mantém a cidade limpa.
A Empresa Municipal de Águas e Resíduos de Portimão (EMARP) assinalou, no passado domingo, 20 de setembro, o Dia Mundial da Limpeza Urbana com o lançamento do livro infantil “O Mistério dos Maus Hábitos”, uma aventura protagonizada por cinco cães que coloca em destaque o papel essencial dos profissionais da Limpeza Urbana e os comportamentos que todos podemos adotar para manter a cidade limpa.
O encontro decorreu no Lugar do Rio – Espaço Jovem de Portimão e reuniu cerca de 60 crianças, com idades entre os 4 e os 12 anos, acompanhadas pelos pais, colaboradores da EMARP. Os mais novos foram os primeiros a conhecer a nova história, através de uma leitura encenada em que filhos de colaboradores deram vida às personagens do livro.
A iniciativa contou ainda com a presença da Vice-Presidente da Câmara Municipal de Portimão, Sandra Pereira, que se associou a este momento dedicado às famílias, à educação ambiental e à valorização do serviço público prestado diariamente pelas equipas da Limpeza Urbana.
Depois da apresentação, a tarde prosseguiu com um lanche, pinturas faciais e momentos de convívio entre as famílias.
Protagonistas são patudos reais
A narrativa acompanha Catarina e João, dois amigos que “brincam” aos detetives e reúnem cinco patudos para desvendar um mistério: o desaparecimento dos cantoneiros e dos motoristas de recolha de resíduos. Sem estes profissionais no terreno, a cidade rapidamente mergulha no caos.
Os cinco cães que integram a aventura foram inspirados em patudos reais do concelho de Portimão, reforçando a proximidade da história à comunidade local.
Ao longo da investigação, o livro evidencia a importância do trabalho desenvolvido diariamente pelos profissionais da Limpeza Urbana para a qualidade de vida no concelho e alerta para comportamentos que fazem a diferença no espaço público: utilizar corretamente os ecopontos e papeleiras, recolher os dejetos caninos, encaminhar roupa para reutilização e recorrer ao serviço gratuito de recolha de resíduos volumosos (monos) da EMARP.
A escolha dos patudos como protagonistas estabelece também uma ligação à campanha “Seja Cãosciente”, através da qual a EMARP sensibiliza para a recolha dos dejetos caninos e promove a adoção responsável de animais do Canil Municipal de Portimão.
Novo livro chega às escolas através do Programa de Educação e Proteção Ambiental (PEPA)
Depois de “Vamos Salvar a Hidra”, dedicado à poupança de água, e “A Incrível Batalha: Marafada vs Aterropólix”, centrado na reciclagem e valorização de resíduos orgânicos, “O Mistério dos Maus Hábitos” é o terceiro título da coleção Portimão Sustentável.
Durante o ano letivo 2026/2027, o livro será distribuído às crianças do 1.º Ciclo das escolas do concelho de Portimão, no âmbito de sessões de leitura e sensibilização integradas no PEPA.
Através da literatura infantil, a empresa pretende continuar a aproximar os mais novos dos grandes desafios ambientais, incentivando-os a transformar conhecimento em comportamentos e a levar essas mensagens também para junto das suas famílias.
Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Hevae. Vers toi nous crions, enfants d'Ève exilés. Vendredi soir, vers vingt-trois heures, ces mots ont été chantés par quatre-vingt mille jeunes gens au Stade de France, à Saint-Denis. Le pape venait de donner sa bénédiction. Les feux d'artifice attendaient. Entre les deux, on a chanté une antienne latine de près de mille ans, le Salve Regina.

This is incredible. 80,000 young French Catholics sing the Salve Regina in Latin with Pope Leo XIV at a Prayer Vigil in the Stade de France. pic.twitter.com/AG5Il6N5GQ
La soirée avait eu tout ce qu'on attend d'une soirée de stade. Des groupes de louange et de gospel pendant l'attente, une chanteuse venue de l'Eurovision, un bateau glissant sur la pelouse, des chevaux lancés dans l'arène, une fresque des saints de France de Geneviève à Charles de Foucauld, cent cinquante bannières, soixante reliques, la Sainte Tunique d'Argenteuil exceptionnellement sortie de sa basilique. Tout cela était beau, et tout cela était conçu pour eux.
Le Salve Regina, lui, n'a été conçu pour personne de vivant. C'est pourquoi il faut s'y arrêter.

Il y en avait eu un premier, quelques heures plus tôt. À la sortie des vêpres, sur le parvis de Notre-Dame, Léon XIV l'avait entonné lui-même, entouré des évêques, des prêtres, des religieux et des séminaristes venus de toute la France — huit mille, dit-on. C'était la première visite d'un pape dans la cathédrale depuis l'incendie de 2019. Le clergé chantait devant la façade restaurée.
Le soir, le même chant est revenu, mais dans d'autres bouches. Plus des clercs : des laïcs de dix-sept à trente-cinq ans. Plus une cathédrale : une enceinte bâtie pour le football et les concerts. Plus l'île de la Cité : Saint-Denis, à quelques kilomètres de la basilique où reposent les rois de France, et dont on avait demandé le matin même au pape de se souvenir dans sa prière.
On peut n'y voir qu'une rencontre de calendrier. Elle dit pourtant quelque chose. Le chant de l'après-midi était celui d'une Église qui se tient debout devant ses pierres rebâties. Celui du soir était celui d'une génération qui n'a pas connu ces pierres debout, et qui les découvre.
Ce que disent les mots
Il faut lire le texte, parce qu'il ne dit pas ce qu'on attendrait d'un soir de fête.
Il s'ouvre sur une s'alutation royale : Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae, salut, Reine, mère de miséricorde. Il nomme aussitôt trois choses : la vie, la douceur, l'espérance. Puis il bascule. Ceux qui chantent se désignent eux-mêmes comme des exilés, des fils d'Ève chassés du jardin. Ils crient. Ils soupirent. Ils gémissent et ils pleurent, in hac lacrimarum valle, dans cette vallée de larmes. Ils demandent qu'on tourne vers eux un regard. Et ils demandent, pour après, post hoc exsilium, qu'on leur montre enfin le fruit béni.
Ce n'est pas un hymne de victoire. C'est le chant de gens qui savent qu'ils ne sont pas chez eux.
Voilà ce que quatre-vingt mille jeunes Français ont chanté, au terme d'une soirée faite pour les exalter. On leur avait offert l'épopée des saints, la lumière, l'acclamation, leur propre nombre. Ils ont fini par dire qu'ils étaient en exil et qu'ils pleuraient. Il y a là une justesse que je ne m'explique pas entièrement, et qui m'a plus frappé que tout le reste.
Car le mot est exact. Cette génération n'est pas née dans la maison. Elle est née après le départ. Ses parents, souvent, n'avaient rien transmis, non par hostilité mais par lassitude, ou parce qu'eux-mêmes n'avaient rien reçu. Elle a grandi dans

The public-private partnership, a criminal enterprise that uses sovereign government powers to shield itself from liability, launders massive profits resulting from no-risk investment of billions of dollars in public monies into guaranteed no-bid government purchasing contracts. Thus, the public is made to foot the bill for its own poisoning and removal of rights.

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” ~ President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s farewell address on January 17, 1961
Dr. Helmut Sterz is a former senior pharmaceutical toxicologist who worked at Pfizer. Dr. Sterz retired from Pfizer prior to 2020. He has written a book “Vaccine Mafia” exposing the fraudulent pharmaceutical practices and collusion with the government globally to force poisoning shots under false labels of “lifesaving vaccines”. The book has been released in German. Dr. Sterz is now preparing the English version, and has kindly asked me to provide a foreword. I am publishing my “director’s cut” foreword to his book below. Note that it may be different from the final version when the book is released.
The book The Vaccine Mafia by Dr. Helmut Sterz documents a massive crime of unleashing unregulated, liability-free biochemical poisons as pharmaceutical products, under false labels of “safe and effective vaccines.” The words mafia, crime, and poisons may be perceived as emotional hyperbole by people who are unfamiliar with this subject matter, those who trust the government propaganda machine, or those whose incomes are directly tied to Project COVID. Let me assure the readers that these are not creative metaphors. The book thoroughly documents the organized COVID crime from the perspective of an experienced drug development professional.
Like Dr. Sterz, I am a former pharmaceutical research and development industry executive. I spent twenty-five years working in the industry in various roles, ultimately managing my own companies. In my early career I worked as an econometrics and management consultant, and later as clinical trials contractor for more than sixty pharmaceutical companies, large and small. I interacted with the FDA and other regulators on behalf of my clients and as a member of the Cardiovascular Safety Research Consortium on subjects related to cardiovascular safety testing standards for new drugs.
I had sold my companies and left the pharmaceutical industry by 2018; however, since the start of the “COVID [flu renaming, fake] p[l]andemic” in 2020, I was compelled to spend countless hours on research, uncovering the perverse legal, regulatory, and military frameworks utilized by the “public-private partnerships for pandemic preparedness”—an amorphous union of global governments and corporations that is more properly defined as a global crime cartel. I collaborated with numerous brave people—dissident scientists, doctors, engineers, software wizards, lawyers, and citizen journalists.
A well-known adage states that if one lets politicians break the law in an emergency, they will create a permanent state of emergency in order to continue breaking the law. As of July 2025, ninety national emergencies have been declared in the United States; forty-two have expired and another fifty-one are currently in effect, each having been renewed annually by the president.[1] Despite the prevailing disingenuous political narrative that the “COVID p[l]andemic is over,” currently ten public health emergencies, including COVID [flu renaming], are active, declared in the US via the PREP Act issued by the Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary. The PREP Act (2005) is federal legislation designed to provide immunity from liability for certain individuals and entities involved in the development, manufacture, distribution, and administration of “covered countermeasures” during a declared public health emergency.[2]
The Act is activated upon the declaration of a public health emergency by the Secretary of HHS. Such declarations are based solely on the HHS Secretary’s opinion and require no justification or evidence of an actual emergency. This opinion is not reviewable by the judiciary branch, nor by Congress. PREP Act declarations by the HHS Secretary provide liability immunity coverage for those deploying “medical countermeasures”—a vague military term which describes many types of responses to an attack.
The PREP Act was designed to provide rapid distribution of medical supplies, especially to first responders, in a very remote scenario of a biological, chemical, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) attack on US soil. At its passage, the law was challenged as unconstitutional, violating civil rights and several Constitutional Amendments, especially with regard to citizens’ rights to sue for damages, injuries, and deaths resulting from the government actions.[3] The law was not meant as a method of bypassing the FDA regulations and “approving” new pharmaceutical technologies that had previously repeatedly failed safety testing and market clearance in non-emergency conditions. The law was not meant for mass vaccination campaigns of civilians, nor for forcing vaccination mandates while escaping all normal regulations and manufacturers’ liability. Yet, this is precisely how the PREP Act has been misused and abused to facilitate COVID p[l]andemic crimes since 2020.
In non-emergency conditions, FDA must formally approve any new investigational drug product prior to a manufacturer introducing it into interstate commerce.[4] This process requires the manufacturer to open an Investigational New Drug application and obtain an exemption from the FDA for its use in regulated clinical research (trials). This regulated process is therefore referred to as an “investigational” regulatory pathway. It requires a manufacturer to conduct regulated clinical research (trials) under the IND, obtaining an Institutional Review Board’s (IRB) approval for clinical trial protocols, independent safety monitoring oversight, and informed consent from clinical trial volunteers. In addition, manufacture of the drugs and biologics subject to the investigational status is regulated by the current Good Manufacturing practices (cGMP)[5] in a strictly enforceable manner.
EUA Medical Countermeasures are radically different drugs, biologics, and devices[6] that are carved out from all normal pharmaceutical regulations by their legal status as non-investigational products. A product legally declared “non-investigational” cannot be formally studied in clinical trials, which are known as “clinical investigation” in legal terms. The US federal law states that “use of Emergency Use Authorized (EUA) covered countermeasures under a declared Public Health Emergency cannot constitute a clinical investigation (21 USC 360bbb-3(k))”; therefore, these countermeasures do not have to be tested for safety or efficacy in accordance with US law (21 CFR 312 and 21 CFR 601), nor must they comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) or Good Distribution Practices (GxP in general) that are enforced by the FDA. Thus, what is normally deemed a violation of pharmaceutical law is explicitly allowed for EUA Countermeasures for the duration of the PREP Act declaration of a public health emergency.
The FDA has the discretion to issue an EUA if, in the sole opinion of the HHS secretary, the product “may be effective” in treating the relevant disease or condition.[7] No other criteria for approval apply in an enforceable way. While the manufacturers may choose to undertake some of the activities typically expected from an investigational clinical trial and manufacturing validation process (or the FDA may ask them to), none of the typical pharmaceutical regulatory standards are applicable in an enforceable way.
There is no strict requirement to obtain an Investigational New Drug exemption (IND), nor institutional review board (IRB) approval of a clinical trial protocol and informed consent forms. Thus, the EUA process makes it impossible to obtain meaningful informed consent from the recipients of the product. EUA products, even though unregulated and non-standardized, “shall not be deemed adulterated or misbranded.”[8]
Since 2021, hundreds of contracts for COVID [psyop] countermeasures, including vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics became available in redacted form via freedom of information (FOIA) lawsuits.[9] All COVID countermeasures were ordered by the US Department of Defense (DOD), typically as “demonstrations” and “prototypes” via Other Transactions Authority (OTA) contracts and using the Defense Production Authority (compelling pharma companies to produce unregulated poison for the US DOD).
The OTA contracting method is typically used by the DOD for purchasing weapons systems as it avoids federal accountability reviews and Bayh-Dole provisions[10] for intellectual property disclosure. DOD does not have authority to use the OTA method for purchasing pharmaceutical products for mass civilian distribution. To overcome this congressional limitation, the DOD partnered with HHS as “one government entity” for Operation Warp Speed, taking the role of the Chief Operating Officer for itself and relegating HHS to the advisory role.[11],[12]
The COVID [scam] contracts include removal of all liability for the manufacturers and contractors along the supply and distribution chain under the PREP Act and related federal legislation, except in case of very narrowly defined and virtually impossible to prove “willful misconduct.” Specifically, provable death or injury from a covered countermeasure (including mRNA vaccines) is notc onsidered willful misconduct as long as the “covered person” used the “covered countermeasure” as directed by the public health agencies.
To date no legal case filed against COVID vaccine makers for death, injury, or other harm has succeeded in the US court system. The courts consistently dismiss these complaints in favor of defendants citing the PREP Act, which overrides the constitutional rights of the plaintiffs, preempts both suit and liability, and preempts all state laws that may be in conflict.
The organized COVID vaccine crime cartel is global, tying together numerous “pandemic preparedness” structures, military forces, countermeasures consortia, and “global public health” agencies, comprising an astonishing trillion-dollar industry which feeds on fraud, data manipulation, fear-based propaganda, censorship, suppression, abuse of law, and mass poisoning of unsuspecting people while accumulating global power and mega profits. In the United States, the COVID countermeasures deployment program has been coordinated through the quasi-governmental Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasures Enterprise (PHEMCE)[13] and via several other public, private, hybrid, and quasi-governmental entities, including but not limited to the FDA’s Medical Countermeasures Initiative (MCMi)[14]; the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA)[15]; and the Medical Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear [CBRN] Defense Consortium (MCDC).[16]
Private pharma corporations are used by the pandemic preparedness cartel as a front to launder the unregulated, liability-free biochemical poisonmade by the DOD/DARPA/BARDA-controlled bio-manufacturing assets. Some examples of the government-controlled key players include
· National Resilience, a giant biomanufacturing corporation with ties to intelligence agencies, government, and military;
· Moderna, a lavishly government-funded company commercializing NIH intellectual property assets which resulted in at least $400M+ royalty payouts to NIH;[17]
· Emergent Biosolutions, a longstanding biomanufacturing military contractor; and
· Gilead, a private company commercializing DOD (DTRA) intellectual property, maker of remdesivir.[18]
Thousands of other military and intelligence contractors are deriving profits from this vast trillion-dollar “pandemic preparedness industry.” Private pharmaceutical corporations are willing coconspirators in the COVID vaccine mafia network; however, they are used as corporate fronts to fool the public with trusted brand names, providing an illusion of regulated, compliant manufacturing. The public-private partnership, a criminal enterprise that uses sovereign government powers to shield itself from liability, launders massive profits resulting from no-risk investment of billions of dollars in public monies into guaranteed no-bid government purchasing contracts. Thus, the public is made to foot the bill for its own poisoning and removal of rights.
The COVID [fake] pandemic emergency declarations that were initially issued on February 4, 2020, by Alex Azar during the first Trump administration, are now extended to last until December 31, 2029,[19] a full decade! The current head of HHS, Robert Kennedy Jr. is fully aware of the misuse of the PREP Act as a continued ironclad liability shield for fraud, profiteering, and abuse of the public health emergency doctrine. Since our first meeting in 2022, I have discussed the PREP Act and the significance of HHS declarations with Kennedy, both in published interviews[20] and in private. While fully agreeing with my view, once appointed as head of HHS, Kennedy refused to use his legal authority to terminate this contrived state of emergency, citing President Trump’s opposition to such move.[21]
The only true reason for the US government—under both Democrat and Republican leadership—to continue the pretense of a pandemic is the ironclad liability shield ensured by the PREP Act for the pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers (“covered persons”) who participate and profit from manufacture, distribution, and administration of “covered countermeasures,” i.e., mRNA injections and other unsafe products and protocols.
In this book, Dr. Sterz kindly quotes my analysis of the V-Safe data (CDC data registry) for pregnancy outcomes, demonstrating how the CDC concealed a massive safety signal, a greater than 200 percent increase in the rates of pregnancy loss after mRNA vaccination. This clear safety signal was captured as early as February 2021, in just 10 weeks of the mass deployment of the COVID shots. However, the CDC and other prominent coauthors published this data in the New England Journal of Medicineconcealing, obfuscating, and misrepresenting the results with a conclusion of “no obvious safety signals.” It is truly shocking that as of the time of this writing, in mid-2026, the COVID injections are still being advertised and recommended to pregnant women as “safe at any time in pregnancy.” Most people are repulsed by the idea that the trusted government agencies have pushed a powerful toxic abortifacient onto all pregnant women as a “safe and effective vaccine.” The “Vaccine Mafia” viewpoint explains the observed reality of the past six years: We are under attack by an organized global “public-private” pandemic crime cartel.

Un fonds de pension, c'est un stock : des décennies de cotisations placées, qui doivent rapporter pour payer des retraites dans trente ans. Ce stock cherche du rendement de long terme, et il peut en consacrer une petite part à des paris risqués — le capital-risque. La répartition, c'est un flux : ce qui entre ressort le mois même. Un flux ne prend aucun pari. Il n'en a pas le temps.

Il partito Alternativa per la Germania (AfD) sostiene una “svolta demografica” attraverso incentivi economici per le famiglie numerose e una ferma opposizione all’aborto, rifiutando l’immigrazione come soluzione al calo demografico.
La forte Erinnerungskultur (cultura della memoria) tedesca, che implica il confronto con i crimini dell’epoca nazionalsocialista e il loro riconoscimento, ha spinto AfD a prendere le distanze da qualsiasi paragone storico. Di conseguenza, il partito ha adottato un approccio cauto, ma chiaro nel promuovere le proprie idee sull’incremento della natalità tra la popolazione autoctona. Il suo programma invoca una “svolta demografica” che, a detta del partito, garantirebbe la trasmissione della cultura tedesca e la stabilità dei sistemi sociali del Paese. Sebbene in questa tornata elettorale si sia astenuto dal fissare obiettivi numerici espliciti, in passato il partito ha promosso il modello della famiglia con tre figli come soluzione ideale per contrastare quello che definisce un “deficit di nascite”. Le proposte economiche per incentivare le famiglie numerose — tra cui crediti d’imposta e contributi pensionistici — rimangono tuttavia poco definite.
Leggermente meno pubblicizzata è la posizione del partito in merito all’aborto. AfD sostiene che il sostegno economico alle coppie ridurrebbe quello che considera un tasso di aborto eccessivamente elevato. È interessante notare che, secondo la World Population Review, nel 2024 il tasso di aborto in Germania era di 5,4 casi ogni 1.000 donne; solo 12 dei 151 Paesi inclusi nell’elenco registravano tassi inferiori.
Tuttavia, anche le proposte politiche in questo ambito rimangono vaghe. Pur senza chiedere esplicitamente un divieto totale, AfD ha sostenuto l’introduzione di restrizioni severe e ha spinto affinché l’aborto non venga più riconosciuto come un diritto umano né sostenuto dallo Stato. I dati del Guttmacher Institute dimostrano che i tassi di aborto diminuiscono quando le donne hanno accesso ai servizi e ai diritti in materia di salute sessuale e riproduttiva, a una maggiore istruzione e a una più ampia parità di genere.
Il crollo delle nascite
Il calo demografico potrebbe essere una delle ragioni alla base della popolarità di AfD. Secondo la sociologa Katja Salomo: “Le ricerche indicano che il sostegno elettorale ai partiti di estrema destra, inclusa AfD, tende a essere più elevato nelle regioni maggiormente colpite dal declino demografico”. Nel 2023, l’intelligence interna ha rilevato che la sezione di AfD in Sassonia-Anhalt era permeata da un'”ideologia razzista”, in violazione della Costituzione tedesca che garantisce la “dignità umana” per tutti.
Nel suo manifesto, AfD della Sassonia-Anhalt sostiene che l’immigrazione sia un “rimedio inadeguato all’estinzione della popolazione locale”. Propone invece di incentivare famiglie più numerose, ad esempio erogando bonus alla nascita ai genitori.
Marcus Jansen, « History of an Imperialist » (Histoire d'un impérialiste), 2022.
Quel est le point commun entre Augusto Pinochet, Frédéric Encel et Le Monde diplomatique ? Le premier a enseigné la géopolitique à l'université militaire de Santiago et publié un traité intitulé Geopolítica cinq ans avant son coup d'État au Chili, en 1973. Le deuxième compte au nombre des experts les plus fréquemment invités dans les médias, où il savoure avec un sourire faraud l'énoncé de sa qualité : « docteur en géopolitique ». Le troisième a conçu le manuel que vous avez sous les yeux pour interroger les visions du monde portées par les deux premiers : pour l'un, la compétition entre États pensés comme des organismes voués à la conquête de leur espace vital ; pour l'autre, l'idée que la politique internationale se réduit à l'affrontement entre démocraties libérales et régimes autoritaires, au nom de valeurs que l'Occident aurait vocation à défendre et, au besoin, à diffuser.
Si la vieille géopolitique allemande dont s'inspirait Pinochet a été reléguée aux livres d'histoire, la croisade morale que mènent les éditorialistes connaît, avec le conflit russo-ukrainien et les massacres israéliens à Gaza, un moment de consécration en même temps qu'une mise à l'épreuve. Désorientés par le lâchage de leur tuteur américain, les dirigeants européens et leurs relais médiatiques tiennent simultanément deux discours incompatibles : l'agresseur russe menace les démocraties ouvertes, lesquelles soutiennent l'Ukraine qui se « bat pour nos valeurs » ; mais l'agresseur israélien, qui bombarde ses voisins et multiplie les crimes contre l'humanité, ne fait qu'exercer son « droit de se défendre ».
La supériorité morale de l'Occident, fondement de la politique étrangère
Une telle contradiction, sur des sujets qui engagent la sécurité du continent, serait relevée sans relâche si l'univers des commentateurs internationaux n'était pas aussi étroitement quadrillé. Le statut convoité d'invité permanent suppose de cocher plusieurs cases : atlantiste, pro-européen, adepte d'un idéalisme qui fait de la supériorité morale de l'Occident le fondement de la politique étrangère. Ainsi sélectionnés, analystes et stratèges semblent reprendre le flambeau des néoconservateurs américains, discrédités au mitan des années 2000 par l'aventurisme de George W. Bush.
Leur passion de la démocratie ne supporte pas la contradiction : en France, les voix dissidentes en matière de politique étrangère sont si rarement sollicitées par la presse dominante que chacune des interventions de Dominique de Villepin, Emmanuel Todd, Pascal Boniface ou John Mearsheimer suscite un vif succès d'audience. Le raidissement occidentaliste des commentateurs exprime, faute de mieux, la réaction d'un Vieux Continent déclinant face à une puissance américaine toujours dominante et à l'essor de la Chine. Le contretemps est manifeste : après la crise financière de 2008, historiens, intellectuels publics et journalistes exhortaient leur public à « décentrer le regard » pour penser « un monde multipolaire ». Presque vingt ans plus tard, il reste impossible, à écouter le clergé géopolitique, de se faire une idée de la manière dont les puissances émergentes voient le monde, nous perçoivent, se projettent.
Cette incapacité à regarder ailleurs tient aussi au petit monde qui fabrique le savoir géopolitique. À cheval entre universités, chancelleries et groupes de réflexion, ce milieu fonctionne en vase clos. Il élabore des récits globaux qui s'imposent moins par la force des arguments que par leur répétition. La matière peut paraître rébarbative, réservée à un milieu d'initiés dont les représentants rappellent le jugement d'Étienne Bonnot de Condillac sur ses adversaires philosophiques : « Ils doivent leur réputation à l'importance des sujets dont ils s'occupent plutôt qu'à la manière dont ils les traitent. » (1) L'introduction de la géopolitique dans certaines filières de l'enseignement secondaire n'a pas encore suffi à combler le fossé entre l'importance des enjeux internationaux pour quiconque participe à la vie publique et leur confiscation par un cercle restreint de spécialistes.
La politique étrangère engage en effet la guerre et la paix, la sécurité de populations entières. Pourtant, les choix militaires et les grandes orientations stratégiques restent largement soustraits à la discussion publique. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, la France a engagé des opérations en Afghanistan, en Côte d'Ivoire, en Libye, au Mali et dans le Sahel, en République centrafricaine, en Irak et en Syrie sans que leurs objectifs, leurs résultats ou leurs conséquences fassent l'objet d'un véritable examen démocratique ; ces interventions extérieures sont d'ailleurs restées largement absentes des campagnes présidentielles. Aujourd'hui, l'explosion des budgets de défense et la militarisation de la politique étrangère européenne, qui servent de palliatif à sa marginalisation diplomatique, s'imposent, elles aussi, sans débat. D'autres choix stratégiques, d'autres priorités diplomatiques seraient pourtant nécessaires quand les interdépendances, le dérèglement climatique, les pandémies, les bouleversements technologiques ou les risques liés à la prolifération nucléaire appellent de nouvelles formes de coopération internationale.
Ce Manuel d'autodéfense intellectuelle entend donner à chacun les outils pour se forger une opinion éclairée sur les conflits et la situation internationale. Appuyé sur les acquis de la recherche, il passe au crible les grandes idées reçues qui façonnent les représentations du monde depuis la fin de la guerre froide. Son appareil cartographique explore les rapports entre espace et puissance — dont le contrôle du détroit d'Ormuz illustre l'importance. Car, si le XXIe siècle offre à la géographie sa revanche sur la Terre prétendument plate et sans histoire de la mondialisation, se réapproprier la géopolitique ouvre un possible nécessaire : contester aux dirigeants le monopole des affaires du monde.
Trois services vitaux d'un hôpital public rayés d'un trait de plume administratif : c'est ce que prépare l'Agence régionale de santé d'Île-de-France pour le Centre hospitalier intercommunal de Meulan-Les Mureaux (CHIMM). Maternité, réanimation, bloc opératoire : tout partirait vers Mantes et Poissy. Le 24 septembre, plus de 250 personnes ont manifesté contre ce projet, dont la décision est attendue en octobre. L’ARS estime que « des mesures structurelles s’imposent ».

Cette décision émane d’une administration qui, face au déficit de près de 20 % du budget de l’établissement et à une trésorerie quasi nulle, commande un audit à des cabinets privés et dessine des « pistes » de restructuration. L’hôpital, membre du groupement hospitalier de territoire Yvelines Nord, voit son activité baisser depuis 2019.

Le dossier repose notamment sur un audit confié par l’ARS aux cabinets Capgemini et Vi-Santé durant l’hiver 2025-2026. Les premières conclusions ont été présentées le 2 juillet au conseil de surveillance du CHIMM ; le rapport définitif est attendu en octobre. Parmi les scénarios évoqués figurent la transformation de la maternité en centre périnatal sans hébergement post-natal et une évolution du dispositif de réanimation.
La maternité réalise environ 700 accouchements par an, contre environ 900 auparavant. Elle se situe donc sous le repère de 1 000 naissances annuelles souvent utilisé dans les restructurations hospitalières. Mais fermer un service ne supprime pas les patients : les accouchements, interventions chirurgicales et prises en charge lourdes devront être absorbés ailleurs.

L’économie administrative, une charge pour les patients
Le CHIMM appartient au GHT Yvelines Nord, avec Mantes-la-Jolie et Poissy-Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Le transfert présenté comme une réorganisation territoriale revient donc à concentrer davantage d’activité sur les deux autres établissements. Les personnels mobilisés redoutent une saturation supplémentaire et un éloignement des soins pour les habitants qui ne disposent pas d’un véhicule ou doivent accéder rapidement à une maternité ou à une réanimation.
La CFDT avance, de son côté, un objectif de 10,3 millions d’euros d’économies, chiffre qui n’a pas été publiquement confirmé à ce stade par l’ARS ou la direction.Le 24 septembre, syndicats, élus, soignants et habitants ont marché de l’hôpital jusqu’à la mairie des Mureaux. En 2017 déjà, la réanimation avait été menacée avant d’être maintenue sous la pression locale.
L'histoire du CHIMM n'est pas isolée : Trappes, Le Havre, Montbéliard connaissent des scénarios comparables, portés tantôt par des groupes privés, tantôt par l'ARS elle-même.

An 18-year-old woman has been gang raped and beaten by up to ten different men, many of them with a Syrian background, in the Dutch city of Dordrecht. Although the rape occurred in May 2025, the suspects are only now being arrested. In response to the rape, political leader Geert Wilders wrote that the Netherlands also has Islamic grooming gangs and called for all the perpetrators to be removed from the country along with their families.
Six suspects have now been arrested, aged 20 to 23. During the incident, the girl, who lived in a residential group home, was driven to two different parking lots and raped by several men, some of whom filmed the assault and shared it on Snapchat. Police say the woman was humiliated and beaten.
“A bruise on the cheek, a tooth through the lip and a swelling on the knee,” described one source. “It is a very serious criminal offense where all boundaries have been crossed and the victim has been treated very disrespectfully. As if she were an object that everyone could use.”
The incident has already attracted attention from politicians in the Netherlands, including PVV leader Geert Wilders.
“Teen victim of gang rape by Syrians. Raped by ten boys at different parking lots. The Netherlands also has Islamic grooming gangs. The Netherlands needs an unprecedented cleanup. All that scum out. With their families. No mercy,” he wrote on X.
Tiener slachtoffer groepsverkrachting Syriërs. Verkracht door tien jongens op verschillende parkeerplaatsen.
Ook Nederland heeft islamitische grooming gangs. Nederland heeft een ongekend grote schoonmaak nodig. Al dat tuig eruit. Met hun familie.
The first introductory court hearing took place on Sept. 23, 2026. Only 23-year-old S.S., described by the prosecutor as having played a leading role, and identified in court reporting as Syrian-born, was required to appear. Of the other five suspects, two of them are S.S.’s brother and cousin, who were arrested that Wednesday morning.
The investigation by the Rotterdam police Sexual Offences Team is still open, and prosecutors believe as many as ten men were involved.
According to the prosecution, the young woman accepted a lift to a train station from three strangers but they never brought her there. She was taken first to one parking lot, where S.S. raped her, and then to a second parking lot where, prosecutors say other men also raped her.
The Public Prosecution Service also told the court that the suspects “discussed and coordinated their statements in detail.” Even so, the accounts given by S.S. diverge from those of the others. His lawyer said that was because he did not want to inform against his brother and cousin.
S.S. himself told the judges the girl got into the car of her own accord.
“We didn’t force her to do anything,” he told police.
He is requesting to be released while his court trial is pending.
“I don’t want to ruin my future. If I stay stuck, all I’m going to be in debt,” he said.
The court refused. Judges said the images, the statements, and conversations overheard by police were enough to keep him in custody for now. He is due back for another introductory hearing in early December.
Remarkably, there was already a case in 2025 involving gang rape in the Netherlands involving ten suspects and a 15-year-old girl, mostly Syrians. Geert Wilders had also called attention to the case, writing: “50 percent of all suspects of sexual offenses are of foreign origin. Only the PVV will throw that criminal scum out of the country and immediately implement an asylum stop.”
German police have arrested a 43-year-old Turkish man suspected of fatally stabbing his estranged wife, a 36-year-old mother of three, at a municipal refugee shelter in Coesfeld. The suspect was already on trial for rape and charged with other crimes.
Witnesses found the victim, Enda K., with stab wounds to her upper body in her room at the accommodation around 12:25 p.m. on Wednesday.
Rescue workers tried to revive her but could not save her life. She died at the scene.
The couple, both Turkish citizens but had been living separately, investigators stated. Police and prosecutors initially provided no information on the background of the attack or a possible motive.
“The children were luckily at school when it happened. This is so terrible. Enda was such a strong personality, a really nice woman. We are all shocked,” a roommate at the refugee shelter told Bild newspaper.
A tip from the public led officers to the suspect during the night in Münster, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) away. They arrested him around midnight. He did not initially comment on the allegations.
Bild also learned that the Turkish suspect had a prior conviction for aggravated assault and he also faces additioanl charges of trespassing, assault, and coercion.
In January 2026, he was also placed on trial for rape but the trial was terminated and moved to another court due to an expected higher sentencing. No court proceedings at this new court venue have taken place yet.
