Nous aimons à penser que les journalistes sont de courageux diseurs de vérité qui s’opposent au pouvoir, écrit Alan MacLeod. En réalité, la plupart d’entre eux font partie d’énormes machines institutionnelles avec leurs propres objectifs.
Charlotte Girard et François Cocq reçoivent André Bellon, président de l’Association pour une Constituante, ainsi que Manon Milcent, gilet jaune et étudiante à en science politique, pour comprendre dans quelle mesure le mouvement actuel porte un potentiel constituant majeur.
Australia has endured intense heat, severe drought, dust storms, and catastrophic fires burning their way through everything in their path, destroying wildlife and vegetation that could take decades to regrow. And in some places, the soil is so scorched it may not be able to support plant life in the future.
Most Americans agree on background checks for gun purchases, lower prescription drug prices, and the need to take on climate change. But for years, an army of lobbyists and unrestricted outside political spending by corporations have blocked nearly every attempt to make these things happen.
One of the most edifying aspects of the recent impeachment process has been the sheer, magnificent variety of Republican approaches to denying reality and avoiding accountability, for themselves and their president. Putting aside the creativity, the bottom line is that not a single Republican made a compelling or coherent case for acquitting the president. There just wasn’t one to be made.
The authors write, “A routine federal bust of a previously-deported Mexican immigrant went violently off the rails Thursday, with the wanted man tasered in the street and his girlfriend’s unarmed son shot point-blank in the face during a ferocious Brooklyn street fracas.”
My distant ancestor Aesop (just kidding, folks) was fond of fables, so let me follow in his footsteps. This is the story of the Gadfly and the Pervert.
Guangzhou, the capital of China’s southwestern Guangdong Province and the country’s fifth largest city with nearly 15 million residents, has just joined the ranks of cities imposing a mandatory lockdown on all citizens, effectively trapping residents inside their homes, with only limited permission to venture into the outside world to buy essential supplies.

« Keep cool… you know the rules… » avant un « so » frenchie accent qui tranche singulièrement avec son anglais habituel plus proche de Davos que de celui des docks de la Tamise ! Le Président Macron nous l’a joué mauvais remake de Jacques Chirac, lorsque ce dernier interpellait vivement les flics israéliens qui l’empêchaient de serrer les mains des Palestiniens de Jérusalem-Est en 1996.
Two days after the caucus, the fiasco in Iowa continues. On Monday, Shadow, the app the Democratic Party was relying on to count votes, crashed, leaving all sides angry at the incompetence and the confusion it caused. Nevertheless, with no precincts reporting, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg declared victory. Bernie Sanders’ team believed the Vermont senator held around a five-point lead over Buttigieg in the popular vote. However, two days later the two are neck-and-neck, with ten pledged delegates each, both receiving over a quarter of the vote share.
HONG KONG — What should have been an enjoyable night for Josh Dubman, a US citizen performing as a DJ at a popular nightclub in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, turned into a nightmare when he was arrested and incarcerated in a grim local prison.
Donald Trump skipped free of justice today, as he has throughout his pampered, delinquent life, but we can thank Mitt Romney for providing this generation what we might call its Joseph Welch moment.

Olivier Berruyer est le l’auteur du blog “Les crises”. Il publie en ce moment une série de neuf vidéos sur l’autre “Ukrainegate”, une affaire qui lie cette fois Kiev à Joe Biden, le principal rival démocrate de Donald Trump. Pourquoi maintenant? Une manière de “dédouaner” Trump? Entretien.

Le séminaire franco-russe qui s’est déroulé du 3 au 5 février 2020 à Sotchi a donné lieu à diverses présentations d’un grand intérêt. Celle d’Alexandre Shirov présente un intérêt particulier car son auteur dirige le département de modélisation économique de l’Institut de Prévisions Economiques et qu’il analyse le comportement actuel de l’économie russe dans son contexte mondial. Le débat auquel cette présentation a donné lieu est aussi important.
Mysterious New Ransomware Targets Industrial Control Systems (Chris)
The author writes, “Over the last month, researchers at security firms including Sentinel One and Dragos have puzzled over a piece of code called Snake or EKANS, which they now believe is specifically designed to target industrial control systems, the software and hardware used in everything from oil refineries

Global warming. Climate change. Climate weirding. Climate emergency. What's in a name? A lot, apparently. So much so, in fact, that the advertising execs over at Ad Age are openly wondering whether they can "rebrand" climate change so it sounds scarier. Yipee!

Huang told the daily student newspaper at the college that he hasn’t left his home in weeks and has been forced to take a semester off.
The first person from Britain to catch coronavirus in Wuhan claims he refused antibiotics and beat the deadly infection with “an old fashioned remedy.”
“It’s an old fashioned remedy but it seemed to do the trick. I did refuse to take the antibiotics the doctors prescribed me because I didn’t want to take any medicines,” he told The Sun.
Meanwhile, a rare direct clash between Turkish and Syrian armies has left scores of soldiers dead and wounded.
US Farm Bankruptcies Hit an Eight-Year High (Mili)
The author writes, “U.S. farm bankruptcy rates jumped 20% in 2019 — to an eight-year high — as financial woes in the U.S. agricultural economy continued in spite of massive federal bail-out funding, according to federal court data.
It appears that around the time we suggested someone reach out to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to get some answers about the origin of the deadly Coronavirus epidemic (which Twitter decided was sufficient to get us barred from the platform), India was doing just that.
President Trump has advanced an evil longstanding agenda of America’s depraved intelligence and defense agencies, so as usual the QAnon cult is out in force telling everyone not to worry because this is all part of the plan.
