SOMMET DES BRICS : « IL EST INACCEPTABLE DE CONTINUER À UTILISER LE FMI ET LA BANQUE MONDIALE POUR PERPÉTUER DES PRATIQUES COLONIALES ». ( #Lavrov) Contrairement à ces pratiques, la nouvelle Banque de développement des #BRICS se distingue par son innovation et s'attache à tirer parti des efforts des pays membres du groupe pour renforcer leurs économies et améliorer leur bien-être.
Lors de la deuxième session du sommet des BRICS, le ministre russe des Affaires étrangères a affirmé que la grande majorité des pays souhaitaient mettre en œuvre des mécanismes de développement indépendants de l’Occident.
Les pays BRICS sont engagés dans une transformation sans précédent, s'efforçant de bâtir une architecture économique plus stable, fondée sur les principes de transparence et de non-discrimination, garantissant l'égalité d'accès aux opportunités pour tous.
« Il est inacceptable de continuer à utiliser le Fonds monétaire mondial ( #FMI) et la Banque mondiale pour perpétuer des pratiques néocoloniales », a déclaré M. #Lavrov, remettant en question la présence de situations similaires au sein de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce ( #OMC) et appelant à une réforme des institutions de #BrettonWoods.
Il s'est dit convaincu que les institutions émergentes reflètent le véritable équilibre des pouvoirs dans l'économie mondiale. Lors des délibérations du deuxième jour du sommet, la Russie a dénoncé le fait que les pays à faible revenu et à revenu intermédiaire dépensent davantage pour le remboursement de leur dette extérieure que pour leur propre développement, et a averti que cette situation échappait à tout contrôle, même dans certains pays développés.
Il a dénoncé le fait que l’ #Occident subordonne l’octroi de son aide financière à des considérations politiques. À titre d’exemple, il a cité l’octroi de fonds d’« aide militaire » équivalant à 500 % du PIB de l’Ukraine, alors que de nombreux pays africains n’ont pas pu accéder aux recettes nécessaires pour soutenir leurs prévisions de développement.
Contrairement à ces pratiques, il propose que la nouvelle Banque de développement des BRICS se distingue par son innovation et s'attache à tirer parti des efforts des pays membres du groupe pour renforcer leurs économies et améliorer leur bien-être.
Les BRICS contribuent à 48,5 % de la population mondiale, représentent 39 % du PIB, 24 % du commerce extérieur total, 43,6 % de la production de pétrole et des réserves mondiales, et 78,2 % du charbon. Ils excellent également dans la création de technologies alternatives, l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies et la transition numérique.

Great idea. Gotta get rid of the psycho nazis first. "The wealth tax approach, they wrote, "is effective because it targets all forms of tax optimization, whatever their nature. It is targeted, as it applies only to the wealthiest taxpayers, and only to those among them who engage in tax avoidance.""
"Und ganz nebenbei wird hier auch noch [von #Brantner, #Grüne] suggeriert, dass die #Linke – parlamentarisch und außerparlamentarisch – keine anderen Argumente und Forderungen vertreten würde, als #Israel von der Landkarte löschen zu wollen.

Fragen nach Israels [Verbrechen] werden mit dem Verweis auf islamistische Hamas-Ideologie mit einer Nicht-Antwort bedacht."
"»Wenn Deutsche über #Israel reden, reden sie meist über sich selbst.« In der nach moralischer Rehabilitierung strebenden »Wiedergutmachungspolitik« Adenauers, die vornehmlich der Westbindung diente, & der heutigen Identifizierung des dt. Staates mit Israel [...] sieht er einen »Ersatznationalismus«. Der führe dazu, dass sich viele in DE gar nicht vorstellen könnten, dass Israel Kriegsverbrechen begehe, weil dies das dt. Selbstbild stören würde."
La IA más avanzada del momento, chatGPT, no es capaz de vencer a una Atari de hace 50 años. Porque no es inteligente, simplemente escupe palabras siguiendo una distribución de probabilidad.
Sin embargo, se nos ha dicho que va a revolucionar el mundo laboral y ya hay quién se ha enamorado de su chatbot sin darse cuenta de que, como Narciso, se ha enamorado de un reflejo compuesto de unos y ceros.
Al final, la IA lo único que hace es ponernos delante de un espejo virtual que nos devuelve un reflejo deformado. Un reflejo que, más temprano que tarde y sin avisar, va a reventar en tantos pedazos como dólares se está gastando en este delirio colectivo.

On Tuesday, July 1, 2025, African Stream published its final video, a defiant farewell message. With that, the once-thriving pan-African media outlet confirmed it was shutting down for good. Not because it broke the law. Not because it spread disinformation or incited violence. But because it told the wrong story, one that challenged U.S. power in Africa and resonated too deeply with Black audiences around the world. When Secretary of State Antony Blinken accused it of being a Kremlin front, Big Tech didn’t hesitate, and within hours, the platform was erased from nearly every major social media site.

Tucker Carlson's latest interview with the president of Iran is even more evidence that Carlson is not a journalist, he is a CIA actor playing a role of a regular, based American.
Listen to Nick Fuentes break it down and explain why he doesn't trust Carlson even a little bit. (Begins at 2:06:47)
well, Carlson was never an actual journalist. The way i see it, a real journalist reports facts and leaves drawing conclusions to the receptient, which is hardly what Carlson is doing.

Anna Rocca 🇮🇱 Pax americana – «Le #Yémen sera traité comme Téhéran» : sans perdre de temps, #Israël lance son opération «Black Flag» contre les #Houthis «Quiconque tente de nuire à Israël sera frappé», a fanfaronné le ministre de la Guerre, Israël #Katz. «Et quiconque lève la main contre Israël la verra coupée. Les Houthis continueront de payer un lourd tribut pour leurs actes». La nouvelle campagne de bombardements contre l'un des pays les plus pauvres du monde a visé les infrastructures des ports yéménites de #Hodeidah, Ras Isa et Al-Salif, ainsi qu'une centrale électrique à Ras Katib. «Ces ports sont utilisés par le régime terroriste houthi pour transférer des armes du régime iranien, qui servent à mener des opérations terroristes contre l’Etat d'Israël et ses alliés», a affirmé Tsahal.
A friend who was until recently a long-time V.A. employee informs me that even what seems like moderately good news is misleading: The Trump regime is dialing back the number of firings "partly because their initial tactics (threats, coercion, etc.) were so effective" at gutting the institution.
For #Ubuntu at-least (I don't run RedHat/ Fedora):
Edit /etc/default/grub as root.
In the line that says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="...", add (or append) panic=0.
Followed by: sudo update-grub. (Takes effect on reboot).
This will prevent your Linux system from launching a #DebugShell if an attacker repeatedly enters a wrong passphrase for decrypting your Luks #boot #volume.
So that requires someone to have physical access to your machine *and* have your user password (since sudo). Yeah, appending `panic=0` to the default commandline are the least of my worries at that point
And the malicious actor could just as easily be a government agent that has gained physical access to your device.
The mitigation prevents the attack by removing the ability for the system to launch a debug shell when incorrect decryption passphrases are entered a number of times.
Israel continued its genocidal onslaught on Gaza, with medical sources telling Al Jazeera that at least 30 Palestinians had been killed since dawn on Tuesday.
“It was a sleepless night here in Gaza, marked by an intensification of air attacks and the use of multiple aerial vehicles, including fighter jets, drones and helicopters to pummel residential areas and spaces that had been designated as ‘safe zones’,” Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reported from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza.
At least nine Palestinians were killed during an Israeli drone attack on a tent sheltering displaced #Palestinians in the al-Mawasi area near Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis.
In a separate dawn attack, two people were killed and others injured in Israeli air raids on the Hakr al-Jami area in Deir el-Balah, the Wafa news agency reported, citing medical sources.

Jerusalem Post - A senior Israeli political official tells reporters that efforts are ongoing to reach a Gaza hostage deal and that a ceasefire agreement with Hamas could be finalized “within a few days.” jpost.com/israel-news/article-…
A ‘deal’ that’s only reached when Israel controls everything and everyone in Gaza and in West Bank, with eyes on expansion to adjacent countries also. This is getting really old, as it’s repeated every single time. IF Israel ever agrees to a ceasefire, they resume hostilities within hours, or days at best.

A pool heat pump is an excellent investment for extending your swimming season and enjoying comfortable water temperatures year-round. However, selecting the right pool heat pump for your pool requires careful consideration of factors like climate, pool size, and energy efficiency. With so many options available, how do you choose the best one for your needs? This guide will help you navigate the decision-making process.
Understanding Pool Heat Pumps Pool heat pumps work by extracting heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to the pool water. Unlike gas heaters, which generate heat through combustion, heat pumps are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. They are ideal for maintaining consistent water temperatures, especially in moderate climates.
Key Factors to Consider 1. Climate Your local climate plays a significant role in determining the type of heat pump you need. Heat pumps rely on ambient air temperature to operate efficiently, so they perform best in regions where temperatures rarely drop below 50°F (10°C). In colder climates, the efficiency of a standard heat pump may decrease, and it may struggle to maintain desired water temperatures.
For cooler regions, consider a cold-climate heat pump, which is specifically designed to operate efficiently in lower temperatures. These models often include features like variable-speed compressors and advanced defrost systems to ensure reliable performance even in chilly weather.
2. Pool Size The size of your pool is another critical factor. Heat pumps are rated by their BTU (British Thermal Unit) output, which indicates how much heat they can generate. Larger pools require higher BTU ratings to heat the water effectively. To determine the appropriate size, consider the following:
Pool Volume: Calculate your pool’s volume in gallons.
Desired Temperature Rise: Determine how much you need to increase the water temperature, factoring in the average air temperature in your area.
Heating Time: Consider how quickly you want to heat your pool. Faster heating requires a higher BTU rating.
A general rule of thumb is to choose a heat pump with a BTU output that matches your pool’s volume and heating needs. For example, a 100,000 BTU heat pump is suitable for a medium-sized pool, while a 140,000 BTU model may be necessary for a larger pool.
3. Energy Efficiency Energy efficiency is a major advantage of pool heat pumps, but some models are more efficient than others. Look for the Coefficient of Performance (COP), which measures how efficiently the heat pump converts electricity into heat. A higher COP indicates better efficiency and lower operating costs.
Additionally, consider heat pumps with features like variable-speed fans or digital controls, which allow you to optimize performance and reduce energy consumption.
4. Installation and Maintenance Proper installation is crucial for maximizing the performance and lifespan of your heat pump. Ensure the unit is placed in a well-ventilated area with adequate airflow, as restricted airflow can reduce efficiency. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the evaporator coil and checking refrigerant levels, will also help maintain optimal performance.
Conclusion Choosing the right pool heat pump involves balancing your climate, pool size, and energy efficiency needs. By selecting a model that matches your specific requirements, you can enjoy a comfortably heated pool while minimizing energy costs and environmental impact. Whether you live in a warm or cooler climate, there’s a heat pump designed to meet your needs.
Investing in the right pool heat pump not only enhances your swimming experience but also adds value to your home. With proper research and professional guidance, you can find the perfect heat pump to keep your pool at the ideal temperature all year round.
