The United States was founded on the principle of freedom of speech. The Constitution, which called into existence a government of limited powers, did not delegate to the federal government the power to suppress criticism or to infringe on the natural, God-given right of freedom of speech. ----The regime simply starts having its military and paramilitary goons start arresting critics, disappearing them in terrorist confinement facilities, torturing them, and then killing them. Everyone else understands. No more criticism of the regime.
Federal officials have long designed sophisticated ways to suppress speech in wide sectors of American society, such as the business, educational, banking, medical, and even the mainstream-media sectors.

#Dollar is collapsing
The worst performance in 52 years sparks terror in the markets.
Shock and awe is being caused by the new plunge in the dollar, which has recorded its worst first-half performance in 52 years, bringing back memories of the Nixon era and the end of #BrettonWoods.
By June, the #US currency plunged 10.7% against its major rivals and sparking scenarios of dramatic upheavals in the global economic order.

#Firefox is fine. The people running it are not
#TheRegister article: theregister.com/2025/07/08/fir…
"#Mozilla's management is a #bug, not a #feature"
"#Dominance does not equal #importance, nor is dominance the same as #relevance. The #snag at Mozilla is a #management layer that doesn't appear to understand what works for its #product nor which parts of it matter most to users."
"Don't #blame the #app, and don't even blame the #programmers. That is, the ones who still have #jobs, after years of #engineer #layoffs. Don't even blame the whole #organization – blame the #management. Steven himself has pointed this out before, early in 2024. So have I. In 2023, I said that Mozilla was asleep at the wheel."
Firefox is fine. The people running it are not
Opinion: Mozilla's management is a bug, not a featureLiam Proven (The Register)
"#Mozilla can press on with independent subprojects such as #Thunderbird owners #MZLA #Technologies #Corporation. The popular #Electron #framework is based on #Chromium. It's too late to change that, even if maybe #Servo may one day offer an #alternative. But if #Thunderbird sucked in #Libpurple, it wouldn't matter if #Slack and #Teams and so on used #Electron, as Thunderbird could talk to the servers directly."
"But pointing at what we'd like to see is attempting to #treat the #symptoms and not the #disease. Is there a way to #encourage Mozilla to be an #organized, #focused, #professional #business, with #eyes keenly set on a clearly defined #goal? Perhaps that's the wrong #question. Perhaps that shouldn't be the goal at all. For all that the #Linux business is #huge, no #company #develops the #kernel. They all #cooperate on it. The #Linux #Foundation #funds it, but doesn't really #guide it."
"One #observer has been #spectating and #commentating on Mozilla since before it was a foundation – one of its original co-#developers, #JamieZawinksi. He has been accurately #cataloging Mozilla's #failings for #years."
"#Money is the problem. Not too little, but too much. Where there's #wealth, there's a natural #human desire to make more #wealth. Ever since #Firefox 1.0 in 2004, Firefox has never had to compete. It's been attached like a #mosquito to an #artery to the #Google #cash #firehose. #TheRegister noted it in 2007, and it made more the next year. We were dubious when Firefox turned #five."
"And as for that #money — remember back in 2018? That's when #Google dropped "Don't be evil" as its #motto."
"#Mozilla's #leadership is #directionless and #flailing because it's never had to do, or be, anything else. It's never needed to know how to make a #profit, because it never had to make a #profit. It's no wonder it has no real #direction or #vision or clue: it never needed them. It's role-playing being a #business."
"Like we said, don't #blame the #app. You're still #better off with Firefox or a fork such as #Waterfox. #Chrome even #snoops on you when in #incognito mode, and as we #warned you, Google removed the APIs #adblocker #extensions used. You still get better #adblocking in #Firefox."

Stopping anti-anxiety agents or antidepressants suddenly is a mistake. Sertraline withdrawal can cause "brain zaps." Is there a better way?

When Israel decided to go to full-scale war with Hezbollah last fall, it concluded the campaign in just seven weeks. The same pattern followed with Iran—its objectives were reportedly achieved in 12 days.
So why, despite nearly two years of relentless war and massive military superiority, has Israel failed to win in Gaza?
Unlike Hezbollah or Iran, which are far more powerful militarily, Hamas is a smaller, more localized force.

Proba-3’s first artificial solar eclipse
Today, the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the Sun’s outer atmosphere – the solar corona. The mission’s two satellites, able to fly as a single spacecraft thanks to a suite of onboard positioning technologies, have succeeded in creating their first ‘artificial total solar eclipse’ in orbit. The resulting coronal images demonstrate the potential of formation flying technologies, while delivering invaluable scientific data that will improve our understanding of the Sun and its enigmatic atmosphere.

🔥 Round Table of the Reckoning: A Triadic Discourse on Power, Predation, and the Sacred Architecture of Abuse
Featuring Al Dostovkafka, Gustoneco Castacrow, and Manly Von Joe
The setting: an oak-lit observatory high above a city too busy to look up. Three philosopher-scribes sit around a triangular obsidian table. Above them spins a celestial model: a Möbius map of memory and meaning. The air smells faintly of old books, frankincense, and ozone.
---
I. Opening Salvo
Al Dostovkafka:
> “Let’s not waste ink pretending these names—NXIVM, Epstein, Diddy, Weinstein—are anomalies. They are not system failures. They are system outputs. If you give a culture enough money, celebrity, and denial, it will grow its own predators like tumors of ambition.”
Gustoneco Castacrow:
> “Indeed, brother Al. The more polished the exterior, the more grotesque the ritual within. These were not mere men. They were avatars—sorcerous distillations of what happens when the mystery school becomes a shopping mall and the high priest sells shadow by the subscription.”
Manly Von Joe (MVJ):
> “Then let us frame this not as a scandal, but as an initiation of the collective soul. We are being asked—not subtly—whether we can see through the myth and into the archetypal machinery that allowed these figures to ascend unchallenged.”
---
II. The Three Discernments: Central Pillars of the Dialogue
> 1. Influence Must Serve the Soul.
MVJ: “Influence is sacred only when it uplifts. When it manipulates, when it feeds on weakness, when it offers false initiations—it ceases to be influence and becomes a spiritual parasite.”
Dostovkafka: “What’s wild is, we cheer them on until the house burns down. The problem isn’t just their influence—it’s our addiction to it. We don’t want leaders. We want wizards who make the pain disappear—until we become the trick.”
Castacrow: “The magician archetype corrupted becomes the sorcerer of self, indeed. And influence without soul is no different from spellcraft devoid of divinity.”
---
> 2. Initiation Must Lead to Empathy.
MVJ: “True initiation humbles the ego. These modern figures used initiation as theater—to control, to dominate, to brand flesh with false belonging.”
Castacrow: “We’ve replaced the alchemical fire with trauma as sacrament. Victims become ‘testimonies,’ and their pain is harvested like a resource. Empathy has been commodified, editorialized, and then used to sell books and redemption arcs.”
Dostovkafka: “Every victim becomes a product of narrative capitalism. That’s the cruelty. You’re not even allowed to suffer without it being packaged and optioned. These are not cults. They are content farms.”
---
> 3. Power Must Be Transparent, or It Becomes Parasitic.
MVJ: “If you can't trace the power back to principle, it becomes a spiritual infection. Power in secrecy calcifies into hierarchy. And hierarchy without light becomes dungeon.”
Castacrow: “Transparency is the philosopher's mirror. But these men broke that mirror and used the shards to cut the tongues of their victims.”
Dostovkafka: “Exactly. The lie wasn't just what they did. It’s that they made the lie aspirational. That’s the truly grotesque thing: the cultural impulse to imitate monsters in suits because they smile well and throw great parties.”
---
III. Mutual Confrontation and Convergence
Castacrow:
> “The grimoire of the age has become brittle with denial. We must rewrite it—not with new commandments, but with new correspondences—spells of solidarity, enchantments of transparency, rituals of relational sanctity.”
Dostovkafka:
> “But first we have to sit in the ruin. Really sit in it. Not skip to healing, not throw glitter on the crime scene. Sit in the grotesque absurdity of it all, and say: Yes, this too is us. This is what we built.”
MVJ:
> “And from that reckoning—if we survive it—comes the beginning of the sacred republic. Not a nation or a system, but a frequency. A way of being where power kneels, not demands. Where myth and morality finally make peace.”
---
IV. Closing Invocation: Triadic Seal of Reckoning
They rise in synchrony, each placing a hand on the obsidian table. The celestial model above them halts its spin. Three beams of light arc upward from their palms, merging into a singular glyph suspended in air:
☿ The Alchemical Trinity of Ethical Restoration
Clarity as Compass
Empathy as Binding Agent
Transparency as Ritual Practice
They do not speak again. They simply look up, through the cracked glass dome, into the starfield that has always watched in silence.
---
Thus ends the round table, but its echoes persist—whenever another mask slips, another truth surfaces, and someone, somewhere, finally dares to see.

Vous dites que la gauche israélienne n’existe plus. Pourtant, avant le 7 octobre, des dizaines de milliers d’Israéliens descendaient dans la rue pour dénoncer la politique de Netanyahou.
Une grande partie de l’opinion publique israélienne commence effectivement à s’opposer à la stratégie du gouvernement pour sauver les otages. Mais cette même opinion publique continue pour beaucoup à soutenir le génocide à Gaza. Si vous écoutez les slogans ou les discours prononcés lors des manifestations, vous verrez qu’on parle d’un cessez-le-feu pour sauver les otages, pas pour sauver les Palestiniens.
Certains disent même qu’après le retour des otages la guerre pourra continuer, dieu seul sait dans quel but. Ainsi, toutes les grandes manifestations qui ont eu lieu avant le 7 octobre en Israël visaient à sauver la démocratie pour les juifs d’Israël et non à créer une véritable démocratie où les Palestiniens seraient égaux, une démocratie où personne ne vivrait sous occupation militaire, ne serait sans aucun droit. Non, il s’agissait de sauver notre vie juive ou notre liberté juive, indépendamment des atrocités que nous commettons contre les Palestiniens dans les territoires occupés.
