This just in: Wikileaks has received a possible (not confirmed yet) archive of Macron emails: The French regime’s reaction is immediate: don’t you dare report about this “or else”: I don’t have the time to translate this (need sleep) but the core message is simple: the media is asked not to report about this, not even on their Internet sites and is reminded that the dissemination of false information is

Matthew 23:27 There is no worse blind man than the one who doesn’t want to see. There is no worse deaf man than the one
I regularly get the comment that Putin is pro-Israeli, Russia controlled by Israeli interests and that Putin and the Israelis are in cahoots. I tried to debunk this nonsense in my article Putin and Israel – a complex and multi-layered relationship, but that silly canard is still circulating all over the net.

by Ramin Mazaheri Unlike most Western countries, French politicians do not really do personal attacks. That sounds surprising, but they don’t even criticize each other’s programs with virulence. It’s “inelegant” or “bad form.” But perhaps this is why the French can debate politics over a four-hour Sunday meal? Ultimately, this is poseur nonsense that has nothing do with the brutally harsh and immediate reality of political platforms and decisions. That’s

by Peter Koenig When in the 18th and 19th Century African slaves did not ’behave’, they were cruelly beaten sometimes to death as a deterrent for others. They were deprived of food for their families. Their women were raped. They were traded to even harsher white masters. Their lives were worth only what their labor could produce. They were treated as subjects, devoid of human warmth. Today we have become

Ten years ago, on May 2nd 2007, I decided to “scratch my itch” and to write what I thought and then make it public. After a long interruption I wanted to analyze again and, for the first time, I wanted to make that analysis public (before that all my analyses were classified, you can read a more detailed version of this here). Even if “public” meant all of: me and,
