#politique #corruption #lacorde #guillotine2025
Officiellement, bien entendu, il y a les gentils de gauche, d'un côté, attachés à la "sociale", et les méchants de droite, individualistes qui défendent le profit. Bien sûr ! Ce clivage binaire, même s'il a perdu de sa superbe ses dernières années, a gardé des accents de vérité auprès de nombreux gogos qui continuent à croire au théâtre d'ombre que la caste projette sur le débat public pour hypnotiser et manipuler le petit peuple. Tout le problème est que, à force d'entre-soi et d'endogamie, les acteurs de ce théâtre peinent de plus en plus à faire illusion.
Dans cette imagerie pâlissante d’Épinal, le jeu des Ferracci paraît de plus en plus emblématique de ce que notre République compte de moribond, de malsain, de "pourri" au sens shakespearien du terme. Non que l'on trouve ici, de façon manifeste, des inégalités qui justifieraient des procès. Mais c'est la privatisation assumée de l'intérêt général qui, ici, dégoûte. Cette façon très parvenue de nous prendre pour des idiots, et de nous faire croire que nous devrions être dupes du jeu qui se joue.
Acte I : l'enrichissement de Pierre Ferracci
Initialement, il était un petit Pierre Ferracci, né en 1952, héritier de la résistance communiste corse. Sa seule évocation donne envie de pleurer (et nous passerons ici sur les nombreux faits d'arme politiques et sociaux du personnage). Fils de la plus grande figure de la résistance communiste corse (je renvoie ici chacun à sa compréhension de l'expression...), le petit Pierre s'enrichit dans l'expertise comptable et le conseil aux entreprises tels qu'ils peuvent être conçus en Corse.
Autrement dit, Pierre Ferracci crée le groupe Alpha et le groupe Secafi pour conseiller ses amis communistes et, au premier chef, ses amis de la CGT. Quand un plan social se dessine à l'horizon, le délégué CGT a l'habitude d'appeler Secafi et Alpha pour acheter une expertise qui permet de négocier de bonnes "mesures d'accompagnement" face aux patrons. Vu les chiffres de la désindustrialisation en France depuis 40 ans, le marché est très porteur.
Il explique que, selon les déclarations officielles, le groupe soit valorisé à environ 75 millions € (chiffre probablement sous-estimé).
Acte II : les Ferracci, ou comment parvenir ?
Dans cette formidable ascension directement due au déclin économique français depuis 1975, les Ferracci vont devenir l'un des meilleurs symboles des parvenus post-soixante-huitards.
Il y a notamment l'affaire de la villa corse de Pierre, dont son fils Marc est actionnaire (nous allons y revenir). Mais il y a aussi l'achat du Paris Football Club, revendu en début d'année à la famille Arnault, comme nous l'avons signalé. Dans le microcosme parisien, Pierre n'est plus seulement un habile marchand qui s'est enrichi grâce à la CGT. Il devient une figure politique et sociale qui compte et qui impressionne.
Parmi les éléments de sa puissance, on trouve son fils Marc, énarque, témoin de mariage de Macron, député marcheur, puis ministre de l'Industrie. Nous avons largement détaillé ses affaires patrimoniales dans notre papier dédié. Il incarne le capitalisme de connivence contemporain : entre sa carrière public et son enrichissement personnel, il est à peu près impossible de faire le distingo.
Acte III : de la CGT au macronisme, il n'y a qu'un pas
Dans cet ensemble, une question se pose : celle de la distance qui sépare l'apparence contestataire de la CGT, et sa réalité "systémique".
D'un côté, il y a les discours "grandes gueules" dénonçant les profits du grand capital, et autres éléments de langage controuvés. La retraite à 60 ans, les acquis sociaux, les nouveaux droits, les nouvelles protections, etc.
D'un autre côté, il y a une réalité plus confondante : ceux qui ont accompagné les plans sociaux sous l'étiquette CGT depuis quarante ans, ont gagné beaucoup d'argent. Jusqu'à, par exemple, bâtir des villas de rêve en Corse, sous l'étiquette SCI Tour de Sponsaglia, au coeur d'une série judiciaire digne de Netflix. Reste que l'ensemble construit approche les 1.000 mètres carré habitables, que la Cour de Cassation n'aurait pas refusé de démolir.
Et c'est bien cela qui gêne dans le capitalisme de connivence macroniste : les chouchous du régime obtiennent un régime de faveur qui pose de sérieuses questions.
Acte IV : combien gagnent les Ferracci au ministère de l'Industrie
Cette question, je la pose directement en reprenant (mais ce n'est qu'un premier épisode) les éléments patrimoniaux de Marc Ferracci, fils de Pierre. Aujourd'hui, le ministre de l'Industrie en France, que nous pourrions aussi rebaptiser ministre des plans sociaux, est actionnaire à 35% d'un groupe spécialisé dans les entreprises en difficulté...
Autrement dit, lorsqu'un patron d'usine écrit à Bercy pour dire "je suis en difficulté", "j'envisage de fermer mon site en France", "je sollicite votre aide pour sauver mon entreprise", c'est un ministre actionnaire d'un cabinet de conseils aux entreprises en difficulté qui répond. Certes, nous voulons bien prêter au ministre le crédit de la bonne foi. Mais enfin, combien de temps peut-il faire croire que Marc Ferracci actionnaire d'Alpha et de Secafi est complètement sourd aux appels de Marc Ferracci sollicité, en tant que ministre, par des entreprises qui cherchent à éviter la faillite ?
Concrètement, sommes-nous sûrs que le sauvetage des entreprises en France n'est pas confié à une famille qui prélève sa "dîme" sur la moindre intervention de l'Etat ? Personne ne peut l'affirmer, mais le seul fait que la question se pose est un vrai sujet aujourd'hui.
Ce serait donc ça, la République macroniste ?

"One member relayed that a colleague had received literally 100 phone calls from members of #AIPAC and its allied pressure groups. AIPAC wants House #Democratic members to state explicitly that they “stand with Israel” in its actions against #Iran aimed at destroying the Islamic Republic’s nuclear capability, and add that Iran “must never have a nuclear weapon.”"
"AIPAC issued the same tweet in response to any statement that fell short of its expectations, such as one by Rep. Greg Casar of Texas, which called for a diplomatic resolution: “Consistent pattern: J Street endorsees issue anti-Israel statements. @jstreetdotorg is many things, but it’s not pro-Israel.”"

The US has been planning a war against Iran for a long time
A few different journalists I have been reading have now mentioned a 2009 report from the Brookings Institute called “Which Path to Persia“. People who have read it note that there are strategies discussed in the report for getting the US/European public to support a war with Iran. One of the possible “paths” include starting a war between Iran and Israel and then reluctantly coming to Israel’s assistance. So far, the strategy laid out in this report seems to have been followed quite closely, assuming this is in fact the strategy that the US is pursuing.
The mainstream media also is publishing headlines that appear to be carefully crafted according to the strategy of the “Which Path to Persia” report: using the passive voice such as “America may be pulled in to conflict”, never mentioning that Iran’s attacks on Israel are retaliatory, calling Israel’s strikes “pre-emptive” (which is an outright lie), and so on.
One person reporting on this is Thomas Karat, who published this 8.5 minute video explaining clearly why he thinks the US is not “being pulled in,” but driving this war as part of a much larger, decades-long strategy that began after the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks to control all oil resources in the middle east. He makes a good point, it is worth considering.

@benda I am still hoping China wants that oil bad enough that they would back Iran in this conflict, which I think might be the only thing that could act as a strong enough deterrent against the US using nuclear weapons against Iran.
But then again, Trump is not a rational actor, he may use the nukes regardless. I hope I am wrong.

Have a good one, my friends.

Right now I'm writing fiction. I spent most of my life in academia, writing scholarly articles & books in medieval studies. Now that I'm retired, I write two series of medieval mysteries, the Matthew Cordwainer series and the Gavin Rownt series, both available as ebooks on Amazon.
one of the challenges to my patriotism is that Iran is not so evil as we've been led to believe.
i have reached the point in my progress towards true anarchism where i can easily accept that the US is the true supporter of evil in this world, as Iran and others name us.
After all, it was us that killed the Iranian democracy that had taken shape in 1953.
We were not prepared to pay for the real costs of reaping foreign resources to maintain our privileged position. It is a choice to be evil.

Suomalaisessa julkisessa keskustelussa tuntuu elävän ihmeen vahvana sellainen ajatusmalli, jossa työpaikat ovat ikään kuin almuja, joita työnantajat hyvää hyvyyttään jakelevat työntekijöille, ja jossa mitkä tahansa työntekijöiden työnantajiin kohdistamat vaatimukset näyttäytyvät kiittämättömyytenä tai jopa kiristyksenä. Samaan ajatusmaailmaan kuuluu myös käsitys ay-johtajista ahneena eliittinä, joka kiusaa viattomia yrittäjäparkoja vain pönkittääkseen omaa valta-asemaansa.

Eikä tämä ole pelkkää luokkatietoisen porvariston propagandaa, vaan myös moni työntekijän asemassa oleva vaikuttaa ajattelevan näin. Tosiasiassa kuitenkin on niin, ettei yksikään yritys olisi minkään arvoinen ilman työntekijöitään. Jonkun tekemä työ tai työn tulos on viime kädessä se, mitä kaikki yritykset myyvät ja johon niiden koko liiketoiminta perustuu.

Iran 🇮🇷 - Arrestation d'agents clés des services de renseignement israéliens 🇮🇱 et saisie de matériels.
● Un médecin et son fils, espions clés qui, entre autres, surveillaient la base de missiles militaire Imam Ali, ont été arrêtés aujourd'hui à Khorramabad.
● Entre 200 et 300 micro-drones ont été retrouvés dans la villa de ce neurologue. Le toit de la villa a été utilisé pour lancer ces drones sur une base militaire à Khorramabad.
● Le sort des espions israéliens détenus est peu enviable. Il n’est pas surprenant qu’un des détenus ait tenté de prendre du cyanure hier. D’abord, ils seront évidemment vidés de toute information, puis ils seront pendus.
● Nous attirons à nouveau l’attention sur les scénarios d’utilisation de drones par Israël en Iran. Tout cela peut être utilisé en Russie par les services spéciaux ukrainiens. Je crois que nos agences de renseignement étudient actuellement de près les informations concernant ces attaques en Iran.
🚀 Un autre ATGM (Anti-Tank Guided Missile) israélien Spike a été découvert en Iran, il a été utilisé au début de l'attaque contre l'Iran pour attaquer diverses cibles.ainsi que pour tenter d'assassiner des responsables iraniens.
● Les Iraniens, bien sûr, révèlent tout cela tardivement, alors que de sérieux dégâts ont déjà été causés.
● Mais ils doivent renforcer leur travail de #contre-espionnage et de lutte contre le #terrorisme. Il est certain qu’une partie importante du réseau israélien est toujours active et tentera par tous les moyens de perturber les efforts de l’ #Iran pour organiser la résistance à l’agression.
