Il y a 40 ans, le renversement d’Allende, par Hernando Calvo Ospina

Le 11 septembre 1973, Salvador Allende, président démocratiquement élu du Chili, mourait pendant un coup d’Etat militaire ourdi et financé depuis les Etats-unis.

La répression fit 3 800 morts ou disparus (évaluation minimale) et plus de 37 000 torturés. Des centaines de milliers de Chiliens furent contraints à l’exil. Une aube noire se leva sur le Chili de Pinochet.

For nearly two decades, one of the most overlooked and little known arrests made in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks was that of the so-called “High Fivers,” or the “Dancing Israelis.” However, new information released by the FBI on May 7 has brought fresh scrutiny to the possibility that the “Dancing Israelis,” at least two of whom were known Mossad operatives, had prior knowledge of the attacks on the World Trade Center.

During the fourth day of resumed Julian Assange extradition hearings the judge has unexpectedly halted proceedings due to one of the lawyers possibly being exposed to coronavirus.

District Judge Vanessa Baraitser said the London hearing has been adjourned until at least next Monday, pending the US government’s attorney awaiting results of a COVID-19 test.

The judge and lawyers for both sides are said to be in deliberations over what course the hearings should take if indeed the US lawyer is confirmed with COVID-19.

Fire Destroys Greek Camp Leaving 13,000 Without Shelter (Dana)

The author writes, “Fires have destroyed Greece’s largest migrant camp, an overcrowded facility on the island of Lesbos, leaving nearly 13,000 people without shelter. Some 20 firefighters battled the blaze at the Moria camp — designed for fewer than 3,000 people — as migrants, many suffering from smoke exposure, fled.

Un modèle simple des interactions

Depuis maintenant plusieurs années s’affirme en France une tendance à privilégier l’accord d’entreprise sur l’accord de branche ou l’accord national, bref sur ce que l’on appelle les « conventions collectives ». L’idée dominante est que le niveau de l’entreprise serait le plus pertinent. Cette idée a pour elle une apparente logique (qui ne connaît mieux les problèmes locaux que les acteurs locaux) et une apparente simplicité.

Donald Trump has been nominated for the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize. The President of the United States was put forward by the far-right Norwegian member of parliament, Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who insists he is “not a big Trump supporter,” despite nominating him last year as well. Tybring-Gjedde’s stated reason for nominating Trump is for his work in the UAE-Israel deal signed last month, which normalizes relations between the two nations.

Just days after Amazon published a scathing letter slamming President Trump for not allowing the American multinational tech company to get the $10 billion Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) contract, which instead was awarded to Microsoft, Amazon’s board has just appointed former NSA head and retired general of the US Army Keith B. Alexander as a director.

On February 7, two days after President Trump was acquitted by the Senate of impeachment charges, he gave a lengthy interview to veteran journalist Bob Woodward which he allowed to be taped.

Instead of talking about the impeachment, however, Woodward was ‘surprised’ that Trump was focused on COVID-19, the deadly virus gripping Wuhan, China while Dr. Anthony Fauci and the World Health Organization downplayed the risks.

The author writes, “This summer, shortly after scores of camo-wearing, heavily armed federal agents descended on Portland, Ore., to attack protesters, Charles Fried, Ronald Reagan’s solicitor general, pondered the implications of what he was seeing on the streets.

The fight against COVID-19 requires many tools, ranging from the simple and obvious (masks and gloves) to the massive (a future vaccine for billions of people). So it’s no exaggeration to say the rapid recovery of the US economy will depend to a great degree on how the healthcare industry meets the continuing demand for pandemic-fighting goods and services.

But unlike in the US, the Communist Party defended the pool party by arguing that it was a much-needed release for the people of Wuhan.
