Big Oil suffered major defeats Wednesday, as environmentalists pushed the fossil fuel industry toconfront the human cost of high carbon emissions.

In the Netherlands, activists won a landmark case against Royal Dutch Shell when a district court in The Hague ruled that the oil giant must reduce its carbon dioxide emissions much more quickly than planned.

Idriss Déby Itno, le chef de l’État tchadien, est mort le 20 avril 2021. Sa disparition ouvre dans ce pays africain une période d’incertitude politique qui ne fait pas les affaires de la France. Le Tchad, depuis quelques années, était en effet devenu un acteur incontournable de la lutte armée contre les milices islamistes actives dans la région.

Aujourd’hui, les géants d’Internet détiennent le pouvoir sur l’information, celle que l’on partage et celle qui nous concerne. Or ce “capitalisme de surveillance” menace la démocratie, avertit Shoshana Zuboff. Pour cette docteure en psychologie sociale, il est urgent de bâtir une civilisation de l’information véritablement démocratique.

With the COVID-19 ‘lab leak’ theory finally gaining mainstream legitimacy following recent reports from the Wall Street Journal, and an admission by Anthony Fauci that he’s now open to the possibility, formerly smug establishment ‘fact checkers’ are now scrambling to salvage their reputations after categorically dismissing a lab leak as a ‘debunked conspiracy theory.’

Whistleblower organization Project Veritas has obtained internal documents from Facebook insiders detailing the company’s efforts to censor concerns over the COVID-19 vaccine.

A viral, disturbing New York Times article about a pro-Donald Trump plot against a member of his own administration left out the most important element of all: the role of shadowy operatives in the pro-Israel right wing — operatives from the very same insider “deep state” from which Trump constantly promised to save America.

Senator fits mold of “white moderate” condemned by Martin Luther King Jr.

Trekking north through a dangerous country, the thousands of people — families, men, women, and children — looked like members of a pilgrimage. They chanted slogans, prayed aloud, and hoisted five-star Honduran flags. Under the flags many carried banners emblazoned with the phrase “Fuera JOH” — “Out with JOH” — a reference to the president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández.

Les États-Unis ont été en guerre, ou du moins dans des conflits armés de diverses sortes, souvent dans des pays lointains, pendant plus ou moins toute ma vie. Oui, pendant certaines de ces années, cette guerre était « froide » (ce qui signifie souvent que ces carnages, régulièrement commandités par la CIA, se déroulaient en grande partie hors des caméras et à l’abri des regards), mais la guerre en tant que mode de vie n’a jamais vraiment pris fin, pas jusqu’à ce jour.

Pendant une période comprise entre la défaite cinglante des États-Unis en Indochine (avril-mai 1975) et les craquements en chaîne dans les pays européens satellites de l’Union soviétique (notamment en Pologne, où l’état d’urgence est proclamé en décembre 1981), les Etats-Unis et l’Europe occidentale imaginent — ou font croire — que Moscou a lancé une grande offensive mondiale.

Three researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were so sick in November of 2019 that they sought hospitalization, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing a previously undisclosed US intelligence report “that could add weight to growing calls for a fuller probe of whether the COVID-19 virus may have escaped from the laboratory.”

Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request, we have recently received a remarkable and previously unknown letter that Osama bin Laden sent to Congress in 2002. Its subject was al-Qaeda’s objection to the creation of a commission to investigate the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Pour réduire la transmission de la COVID-19, les consignes officielles de santé publique limitent la distance entre 2 personnes (fixée à 1 ou 2 mètres), le temps et le taux d’occupation d’un espace, et préconisent la ventilation.

Elle a lieu lorsque des aérosols infectieux sont échangés, en respirant l’air partagé des espaces intérieurs clos.

The admonition of John Lennon and Yoko Ono to “give peace a chance” is seldom heard in the Middle East. It is the exceptional individual who, having seen and experienced the worst of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, can hope for any kind of future. My guest on this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast, Palestinian-American peace activist Yousef Bashir, may not be unique in having that hope, but he is a rare species.
