Have our misadventures in Vietnam, Iraq, and now Afghanistan finally shattered the myth of American exceptionalism? Where once that belief was the projection of a nation trying to lead by example, it morphed into the self-delusion of leading by having a bigger gun.

Les tribunaux italiens ont récemment emprisonné quatorze hommes pour leur rôle dans l’Opération Condor, la campagne de terreur latino-américaine soutenue par les États-Unis [dans les années 1970, NdT]. Mais de nombreux autres tortionnaires vivent une retraite paisible — refusant que justice soit rendue aux gauchistes qu’ils ont brutalisés et assassinés.

Along with a badge and a gun, more and more American police are issued body cameras as standard equipment.

Cameras have emerged as a solution to meet demands for better policing since a series of high-profile killings of unarmed Black civilians beginning in 2014 triggered a re-evaluation of law enforcement tactics and transparency.  

Like a Horror Movie

It is Monday, August 16, 2021. Hassina Syed, who is 41, is in central Kabul when her mobile phone rings. Her friend screams, shouting into the receiver: “Take your bag and run! They are here and they will kill you.”

Hassina Syed acts quickly.

“I ran as fast as I could.”

She sees people around her doing the same, dressed in business suits, dresses, and office uniforms. The air is filled with fear and confusion.

“It is like a horror movie.”

Diplomats dodge how their own governments are enabling police violence.

La réaction excessive des politiciens israéliens et de leurs soutiens transatlantiques à la décision de Ben&Jerry’s de mettre fin à ses ventes dans les territoires palestiniens (illégalement) occupés est aussi absurde qu’instructive.

Lorsque Papin puis Watt ont mis la machine à vapeur à disposition de l’humanité, l’atmosphère comportait 280 millilitres de CO2 par mètre cube d’air, soit 0,028% en volume, ou encore 280 ppm. Cette valeur n’avait quasiment pas varié depuis 10.000 ans, stabilité qui est allée de pair avec celle du climat, permettant ainsi l’émergence des civilisations sédentaires dont nous sommes les lointains descendants.

Stephen Salter was working on an eggbeater-shaped wind turbine in his machine shop in Edinburgh, Scotland, when he got a curious call. On the other end of the line was the cloud physicist John Latham with an unusual observation: If seawater were injected into stratocumulus clouds — the low-level, puffy, often gray ones that can look like cauliflower — to make them just 2 percent brighter, they would reflect enough sunlight to keep the Earth’s temperature from rising. Latham had christened the concept marine cloud brightening.

Du 7 mai au 8 juillet, nous avons étudié de manière exhaustive les reportages et les directs que le 20h de France 2 a consacrés à la situation en Israël et dans les territoires palestiniens. De dépolitisation en désinformation, on y observe une couverture au rabais, usant quasi méthodiquement des biais traditionnels en la matière (auxquels nous avons consacré notre première émission sur Radio Cause Commune).

Today’s video delves into the deliberate sabotage going on right now and how this could possibly signify the unraveling of the Biden Administration.

This story by Juli Berwald originally appeared in The Revelator.

“Biden’s Betrayal of Afghans Will Live in Infamy.” That isn’t a line from Lindsey Graham, but a headline from The Atlantic. What about the infamy of not accepting the Taliban’s surrender in 2001 before all the death and destruction?

Biden offers little to alter unsustainable status quo.

La prise de la Bastille, un épisode sanglant de la Révolution française.

Il était huit heures du matin à Versailles, le 15 juillet 1789 lorsque le duc de La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt annonçait à Louis XVI que, la veille, les Parisiens avaient pris la Bastille. Surpris que l’on s’attaque à une prison qui n’avait plus que sept détenus (deux fous, quatre faussaires et un fils de famille enfermé à la demande de ses parents), Louis XVI, on le sait avait demandé si c’était une révolte. « Non, sire, lui répondit le duc, c’est une révolution. »

Today’s video provides you very important background information about a huge regulatory decision and what lies ahead now.

Hamas? It’s Israel’s leaders who are hiding behind civilians again

Yearbook Photos of Girls Were Altered to Hide Their Chests

Photos of at least 80 female students at a Florida school had been digitally edited.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, hitherto Israel’s staunchest defender in the U.S. Congress, fell mute during Israel’s latest massacre.  (He eventually signed onto a statement calling for a ceasefire.)  In addition, there wasn’t a single major rally in support of Israel in New York City.  In the past, Israel’s supporters were able to muster a million Jews and every local politician.  It seems the tide has turned.

An eye-popping interview on Israeli TV. The host first calls for murdering Palestinian citizens, then berates and talks over a Palestinian guest who challenges his ugly incitement. It's the same pattern with BBC interviews, just with a little less fascism https://t.co/1ueKCsLSDi

Saudi Arabia recently purchased 1,000 Iron Dome batteries.  In view of recent developments, it needs to check what are the terms of the warranty.  Unfortunately, no one in the Royal Palace reads Hebrew (or, for that matter, any other language).

Artists Building Communities was founded by a group of low income, out of work artists when the pandemic began. They crowdfunded and built emergency tiny homes for their unhoused neighbors in Oakland. They have built seven homes since the pandemic began. Last December they teamed up with the residents of Wood Street, Essential Food and Medicine and Living Earth Structures to construct a Resiliency Hub in one of the largest encampments in the nation. Cob on Wood is the sustainable building arm of Artists Building Communities.

Dans « La Fabrication du consentement », Noam Chomsky analyse les mécanismes de production des savoirs légitimes dans la presse des pays libres. Paru en 1988, son ouvrage propose un cadre de réflexion, basé essentiellement sur les questions de capital et de propriété, pour penser les medias.
