🌧️ Donald Trump decouples the United States from Israel

After patiently proposing to Benjamin Netanyahu that he negotiate with the Palestinian resistance and meeting only a stubborn determination to massacre the Palestinians, annex Gaza, southern Lebanon and Syria, and launch a war against Iran, the Trump administration has changed gears. It is now clear to them, as it has been to everyone who has been interested in this region for 80 years, that revisionist Zionists are the enemies of peace and therefore also of Israel. The main obstacle Donald Trump faces in his peace negotiations, both with Iran and Ukraine, is the role of the "revisionist Zionists" now in power in Israel. [1] Two weeks ago, I presented in detail and with supporting evidence the pressure they are exerting on Washington to derail the talks with Tehran [2]. I did not address in my column on Voltairenet.org their pressure on behalf of the Ukrainian "integral nationalists" [3], which only became public on May 3, with Natan Sharansky's emphatic statements in support of...

⚔️ Le Pen pines for unified nationalist front in European Parliament, slams warmongering Franco-German axis

In Rome, the French opposition leader Marine Le Pen warned of a broader campaign by EU elites to suppress dissent across the continent. Marine Le Pen used a visit to Rome on Saturday to denounce what she called a growing "democratic scandal" within the European Union, following her recent conviction that has barred her from running in France's next presidential election. Speaking alongside Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, the French nationalist leader warned that her case was part of a wider pattern of political suppression aimed at silencing sovereignist movements across Europe.

🏛️ Trump vows to lift sanctions on Syria

The US president said the step would help the new government in Damascus "stabilize" the situation in the country. US President Donald Trump has said he will lift sanctions on Syria, reversing more than a decade of policy aimed at pressuring Damascus. He added that he hoped for a "fresh start" with the transitional government of Ahmed al-Sharaa. Al-Sharaa, also known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Julani, came to prominence as the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an Islamist group with ties to Al-Qaeda which led a coalition of opposition groups that toppled longtime leader Bashar Assad last year. During an investment forum in Riyadh on Tuesday, Trump said: "There's a new government that will hopefully succeed in stabilizing the country and keeping peace. I will be ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria in order to give them a chance at greatness. "It's their time to shine. We're taking them all off. Good luck Syria, show us something very special." The US...

⚔️ Is Britain on the brink of civil war?

According to David Betz, Professor of War in the Modern World at King's College London, many of the preconditions for civil war exist in Britain today. Using academic studies on social cohesion, civil war causation theory and social attitudes surveys, he argues that the following preconditions are in place: elite overreach, factional polarisation, a collapse in trust, economic pressures, and the perceived downgrading of the majority population in a previously homogeneous society are all present in contemporary Britain. The current dynamics, he continues, point to an emerging conflict between radicalised factions within the Muslim community and an incipient nativist white nationalism. Professor Betz goes on to claim - using the Maoist model that divides insurgencies into three phases - that the nativists are in phase one, the so-called defensive phase in which the group begins to organise, disseminate propaganda and build a conscious community of followers. Islamists, on the other...

🤖 The decivilizing of America

From secure borders to functioning cities, America is shedding the hard-won pillars of civilization — by choice, not chance — in a sweeping, top-down descent into disorder. Secure borders and stationary populations were considered the mark of emerging civilization by classical historians. In contrast to nomadism and constant strife over disputed territory, peoples who had clearly defined and protected borders ascended to statehood, maintained a distinct culture, and achieved greater prosperity and security. In contrast, what we suffered from 2021 to 2025 was unprecedented. It was an intentional administration effort to de-civilize the nation by destroying its borders — as if to return to the premodern era, when there were no clearly defined or secure borders, and nomadic peoples migrated as they pleased. Stranger still, illegal aliens were at times given precedence over citizens — as immigration law was simply discarded. Without IDs, illegal aliens boarded U.S. flights, while the...

ICTY, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, is located there, as the new Tribunal Kallas has mentioned will also be. This writer had spent some of the most interesting years of his life there. An enduring memory is former Serbian and Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who was abducted by the vassal regime installed in his country after the October 2000 colour revolution and sent to the Hague to be put on trial.

Has Germany learned nothing from committing the Holocaust?

Across changes of government, Germany is displaying a callous, brutal, and also perfectly tone-deaf come-what-may loyalty - if that is the word - to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel that practices an ideology and commits crimes all too reminiscent of Nazism. It is ironic that, within the perverted coordinates of German public discourse, occasional, very cautious hints of "concern" are considered noteworthy. Why is Germany the way it is? A single, small, low-quality do-it-yourself poster recently displayed in the center of Germany's capital Berlin may offer some cluse.

Here is the text of my TedX talk in Australia, October 2024, which the sponsor refused to post Every four years, when I was growing up in the US, my mother and father would go to the polling booths and cancel each other out. They'd come home and say as much, with a smirk. Then they'd clink their glasses and have "cocktail hour" together, and enjoy the end of another day of married life in each other's arms. Mom was a lifelong Democrat and Dad a lifelong Republican. Back then, people firmly positioned on opposing sides of politics could talk to one another - and even, apparently, marry each other and produce kids! Do you think that is common today? The "cancellation" my parents joked about 30 years ago has, today, become no laughing matter.
