Republik Frankreich zum Außenseiter und zur Gefahr sowohl für das sich selbst „Elite“ nennende Sekret der Gesellschaft, als auch deren „Linke“.

Jean-Luc Melenchon ist nach einem fulminanten Aufstieg in Umfragen bei 20 Prozent angekommen. 68 Prozent des Wahlvolks von Frankreich hat von Jean-Luc Melenchon eine positive Meinung. Das macht ihn zum beliebtesten Funktionär („Politiker“) im Land.

Surprise! Now the establishment is praising Trump

Trump has evolved — or flipped — on a series of economic and foreign policy issues, including relations with Russia, NATO’s relevance, Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen‘s future, whether China is a currency manipulator and the usefulness of the Export-Import Bank.

Julian Assange: WikiLeaks has the same mission as The Post and the Times

On his last night in office, President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered a powerful farewell speech to the nation — words so important that he’d spent a year and a half preparing them. “Ike” famously warned the nation to “guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”
