Fifteen months ago, the outgoing German government and the incoming one agreed on a €500 billion extra-budgetary fund to rearm against Russia, which the SPD accepted in exchange for acceptance by the CDU of a second such fund designed to invest in civilian infrastructure. Since then, an enormous amount of political energy and billions of euros have gone into rearmament, […]

Jose Vega, running as an “outsider” in the Democratic primary for the congressional seat from the 15th Congressional District in the Bronx (New York City) received 6% of the votes cast in the June 23 election. But the impact of his campaign was far greater than the number of votes might indicate, as it effectively upended the “business as usual” […]

A new study by the UN’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory confirms that Israeli forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children in Gaza, including after the ceasefire went into effect in October 2025. The “serious physical and psychological attacks by the Israeli security forces since 7 October 2023”, the Commission found, resulted “in the death of at […]

At a signing ceremony on June 26 in Washington, the Israeli and Lebanese governments, through their respective ambassadors to the United States, affirmed a ceasefire between their two countries.

The first round of U.S.-Iran negotiations in Switzerland, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, with the U.S. and Iran not yet speaking directly, ended June 21 with an agreement on a roadmap to a final deal within 60 days. Very importantly, a “de-confliction cell” was set up to ensure the end of military operations in Lebanon, which Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi […]

Whatever the outcome of the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran turns out to be in the short term, this war has irreversibly hastened the demise of the old world order, dominated by the Collective West (including Israel) and its institutions. Now, rather than considering all the intricacies of the deals being discussed, or the motivations of the […]

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s strategy, he claims, is to increase the sustainability of government debt and thereby prolong the life of the dollar based financial system. His strategy is based on an artificial demand for U.S. bonds generated by so-called “stablecoins”, i.e., privately-issued pseudo-currencies backed by Treasuries 1:1.
