Americans are bombarded with polls. It seems that we need to know how everybody feels about everything — possibly so that we know what to believe if we want to be like the majority.

Every now and then, however, a nugget of true insight finds its way into such a poll.

Alabama Governor Paul Bentley just resigned in a plea deal to avoid prison. We wrote about Bentley and his travails a while back — and thought this might be a good time to dust off that article.

What sets him apart might not be the scope of his misdeeds and hypocrisy but rather that he is one of the few elected officials who is now asked to face the consequences.

The world’s eyes and ears have once again turned toward Syria following last week’s chemical weapons attack and U.S. President Donald Trump’s subsequent air strikes on the Assad government. Mainstream media, independent media, and social media platforms are fixing fierce attention on the ongoing developments.

Pro-Israel groups fail to stop measure aimed at firms complicit in violating Palestinian rights.

The U.S. military is making plans to take over America by 2030. No, this is not another conspiracy theory. Although it easily could be. Nor is it a Hollywood political thriller. Although it certainly has all the makings of a good thriller. No, this is the real deal, coming at us straight from the horse’s mouth. According a Pentagon training video entitled “Megacities: Urban Future, the Emerging Complexity,” that was created by the Army for U.S. Special Operations Command, the U.S. military plans to use armed forces to solve future domestic political and social problems.

Q: Why?

A: Because the label is meant to make you think there is a specific condition.

Il est aujourd’hui clair que l’érosion de l’hyperpuissance américaine a permis l’émergence d’un monde multipolaire, ce monde multipolaire que le Général de Gaulle appelait de ses vœux. Il est aussi clair que cette émergence n’implique nullement que les Etats-Unis aient perdu toute capacité d’intervention militaire dans le monde. La frappe sur la Syrie qui a eu lieu dans la nuit du 6 au 7 avril le démontre. Elle démontre aussi les impasses de l’unilatéralisme américain.
