If you consider these worthy electors as unable to look after their own interests themselves, how is it that they know how to choose for themselves the shepherds who must guide them? And how will they be able to solve this problem of social alchemy, of producing the election of a genius from the votes of a mass of fools?

Now in 2025, we are painfully reminded that the British Empire created this monster known as Israel to begin with.
“We are confident that this unlawful order will be overturned. As United Nations experts have made clear, spraying red paint and disrupting the British-based operations of Israel’s largest weapons firm, Elbit Systems, is not terrorism.
The terrorism and war crimes are being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people – armed and enabled by this government.”
- Palestine Action
“We commend the Counter Terrorism police for their decisive action in protecting the people of London from some cardboard signs opposing the genocide in Gaza and expressing support for those taking action to prevent it.”
- Defend Our Juries
“This is worse than Putin’s Russia. I don’t say that lightly. It’s 10 years for doing what we’re doing today in Russia; it’s 14 years in the UK.”

Dans son discours aux armées de ce 13 juillet, afin de détourner nos regards de son incompétence, son inculture, sa bassesse et la catastrophe qu'il promet à la #France, E. #Macron a dit entre mensonges et folie :
"Jamais depuis 1945, la liberté n’avait été si menacée"...
Il a raison!
Jamais depuis la seconde guerre mondiale et peut-être même avant nous n'avons eu à la tête de l’État pire traître à la nation. Jamais nous avons eu pire manipulateur prêt à inventer n'importe quel problème pour mieux nous terroriser avec des solutions qui n'ont aucun lieu d'être.
Jamais nous n'avons eu une caste politique aussi lâche quel que soit son bord et un état-major de nos armées aussi inexistant qui n'auront montré que soumission à ce fou qui nous mène au chaos.
Macron, si jamais depuis 1945 la liberté n’a été si menacée, c'est bien parce que c'est toi qui menace notre liberté!
J'espère que nous t'arrêterons, te jugerons et t'enverrons casser des cailloux dans un pénitencier jusqu'à la fin de tes jours!

La vie autrement. Avec Alain #Soral, écrivain, conférencier et fondateur d'Egalité & Réconciliation
New Orleans, LA – On July 11, at approximately 11:50 a.m., two FBI agents knocked on the door of local pro-Palestine activist Heather Awyan at her residence.
After identifying themselves, the FBI agents immediately began asking Awyan about “reports of antisemitic activity or internet postings.” The agents did not even ask Awyan to identify herself but wanted to know her “take” on those “reports.”
In response, Awyan stated, “I have no take because I don’t have a lawyer” and ended the interaction. Before leaving the front stoop, one agent pressed Awyan further by asking her if anyone had been harassing her. Awyan replied, “I have nothing to say to you. I don’t have any comment.” The two FBI agents walked away.
Activists should remain vigilant against political repression and harassment by knowing their rights when interacting with law enforcement. Do not speak to FBI agents under any circumstances, except to confirm your name, get their card or contact information, and decline to speak to them. Shut the door and call an attorney. More resources can be found at stopfbi.org, the website of the Committee to Stop FBI Repression.
The FBI knock on Awyan reflects a pattern of repression by Trump’s federal agencies against activists, journalists and organizers who speak out against U.S. imperialism, U.S. support for the genocidal state of Israel, and most recently, ICE raids and illegal abductions of immigrants.
But even in light of this repression, activists across the country have bravely resisted intimidation tactics and continued to fight within the peoples movements.
When asked if this unexpected FBI visit will affect her organizing work and solidarity with Palestine, Awyan responded, “No, not at all. There’s no stopping the billions of us worldwide who want to see a free Palestine and the freedom of all oppressed people.”
