French presidential race largely unaffected by unrest, first post-riot poll shows
Far-right front-runner Marine Le Pen is still ahead of the pack, and far-left candidate Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon remains in a close race for second place.
Under fire over protests, MĂ©lenchon stands by split with rest of French political spectrum
Throughout the weekend, Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon and his radical-left party, La France Insoumise, criticized the French government‘s crisis management of the protests on Saturday, October 17, and the violence surrounding them. As peaceful demonstrations where LFI supporters again turned out in strength overlapped with violence and looting, LFI continued its strategy of direct confrontation with the authorities, even at the risk of deepening its rift with the rest of the political class and some voters who hold them responsible for the unrest.
Tout pouvoir redoute les rĂ©voltes de la jeunesse. â Interview pour Centre Presse
(October 9, 2026)
Je nâimagine pas cette campagne prĂ©sidentielle comme le simple Ă©noncĂ© dâun programme, mais surtout comme un choix des principes de vie en sociĂ©tĂ©. Cette mĂ©thode nous a dĂ©jĂ permis dâacquĂ©rir une capacitĂ© de rassemblement qui surprend les commentateurs. Dans les analyses fournies Ă propos de notre succĂšs, on parle de qui nous sommes, comment nous agissons, comment nous faisons campagne, nos capacitĂ©s techniques Ă faire campagne⊠Beaucoup voient bien que nous sommes toute une Ă©quipe, au contraire de tous nos concurrents. Mais ce nâest pas ça la leçon essentielle de nos succĂšs. Elle est ailleurs, dans la rĂ©ponse Ă la question : dans quel Ă©tat dâesprit est le peuple français. Que se passe-t-il dans la sociĂ©tĂ© dont nous sommes lâĂ©cho ? Aussi bien quand des jeunes acclament les dĂ©putĂ©s Insoumis qui viennent les voir dans leur facultĂ© ou leur lycĂ©e, ce qui est sans prĂ©cĂ©dent.
Europas Rechte leckt Trump die Stiefel
Es zeigt sich: Immer wieder haben sich gerade jene Parteien, die behaupten, die Nation an die erste Stelle setzen zu wollen, als die eifrigsten VerrÀter der Interessen ihres eigenen Volkes erwiesen. Sich mit Trump und Netanjahu gut zu stellen, scheint schlichtweg wichtiger.
In diesem Sinne kuschelt sich die radikale Rechte auch eng an das liberal-konservative Establishment in den europĂ€ischen Institutionen. TatsĂ€chlich hat sich die einstige Kluft zwischen diesen beiden Fraktionen seit Jahren stetig verringert. Die jĂŒngsten Kriegshandlungen in Nahost machen diese AnnĂ€herung noch deutlicher sichtbar. Beide Seiten sind nur allzu gerne bereit, ihre Rolle als Untergebene in der globalen Hierarchie zu spielen.
Island hat zu Recht âNeinâ zur EU gesagt
War der Beitritt zur EU vor zwanzig oder dreiĂig Jahren schon eine schlechte Idee, so ist er heute eine unendlich viel schlechtere. Denn die EU von 2026 ist nicht einmal mehr die EU von 2008. Die oligarchische Maschinerie des Blocks â die Sparpolitik, die Technokratie, die Verachtung der Demokratie â hat sich zu etwas weitaus Monströserem gewandelt: zu einer voll entwickelten Kriegsmaschine. Eine EinschĂ€tzung von Thomas Fazi zum Ausgang des Referendums in Island zur EU.
Government Confirms Iceland Will Not Restart EU Accession Talks
Icelandâs government has confirmed that it will not continue accession negotiations with the European Union following Saturdayâs referendum.
Prime Minister KristrĂșn FrostadĂłttir said the result would be respected and that the issue would not move forward during the current governmentâs term.
Der Lack ist ab: Island sagt NEIN zur EU
Die Frage war nicht einmal, ob Island der EU beitreten sollte, sondern ob die Beitrittsverhandlungen ĂŒberhaupt wieder aufgenommen werden sollten. Ein âJaâ hĂ€tte die Verhandlungen ermĂ€chtigt; ein eventueller Beitrittsvertrag hĂ€tte ein zweites Referendum erfordert. Die islĂ€ndische MinisterprĂ€sidentin KristrĂșn FrostadĂłttir hatte das Referendum versprochen und erklĂ€rt, dass die Beitrittsverhandlungen unter ihrer Regierung, die bis 2028 im Amt bleibt, nicht vorankommen wĂŒrden. DarĂŒber hinaus wird das Parlament unter ihrer Mitte-Links-Regierung prĂŒfen, ob der Beitrittsantrag Islands formell ganz zurĂŒckgezogen werden soll.
Expel Israel from the United Nations
The Proposal
That the General Assembly will put forward an immediate motion to vote for the expulsion of Israel from the United Nations.
Iran Threatens to Attack US Bases in European Countries
âThere is no justification for any country to fear Iran unless that country opens its territory to the United States for aggression against Iran,â Iranâs Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Monday. âIt is Iranâs right to target the source and origin of any aggressive action against the Islamic Republic.â
Eurovision of spies: Europe ranks its top intelligence agencies, reveals what it thinks of Mossad
The agencies were assessed in three main areas: recruiting âmolesâ and penetrating centers of power; assassination and sabotage operations, including operations such as Israelâs pager attack and Ukraineâs Operation Spiderweb; and intelligence collection, cyber operations and access to encrypted communications.
âI had not imagined that relations between the agencies were much more intense than the official relations between the countries,â a senior Swiss diplomatic figure told the magazine. âAn effective intelligence agency gives a country power no less significant than nuclear weapons.â
The Planet Cooled In June; Europe Maps The Heat Island; Hokkaido Joins The July Chill; + Rare Coastal Snow As South America Freezes
(July 3, 2026)
For all the mediaâs huffing and puffing over western Europeâs âclimate-change heatwave,â the planet cooled in June.
UAHâs satellite-based lower troposphere record has June 2026 at +0.46C above the norm, down from +0.53C in May â a clear monthly fall all while headlines tried to turn one regional European hot spell into proof of a planetary catastrophe.
According to a World Weather Attribution report â and dutifully recycled by the usual activist rags â western Europeâs recent heatwave was âimpossible without the climate crisis.â
Reuters led with the same line, adding that the âsoaring night-time temperaturesâ were made 100 times more likely. The Guardian went further, calling it the âworst ever and impossible without climate crisis,â and claiming the heat was âonly possible because of fossil-fuel burning.â Euronews warned that âclimate change is running rampant,â while El PaĂs spelled out the sermon in its headline: âItâs not just hot, itâs climate change.â Etc. Etc. Etc.
The European heat was real. But it was weather. It was circulation. That is what blocking highs do.
Overall, the planet cooled 0.07C in June.
Fossil fuel emissions have rapidly worsened European heatwaves in just a few decades
(June 26, 2026)
Heatwaves pose a serious threat to human health and have profound impacts on ecosystems. During the summer of 2022, more than 60,000 people across Europe died as a result of extreme heat. Even in the following summer, which was significantly cooler, over 47,000 heat-related deaths were recorded (Gallo et al., 2024). Last year, the first heatwave in Europe, also hitting at the end of June, cost an estimated 2,300 people their lives in only 12 European cities (Grantham Institute, 2025).
Europeâs Deadly Heatwave: Climate Change Tripled the Death Toll, Finds Study
(July 11, 2025)
A searing heatwave that swept across parts of Europe in late June 2025 has been linked to nearly 2,300 excess deaths, according to a rapid attribution study conducted by scientists from Imperial College London and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
The analysis shows that global warming raised temperatures during this heatwave by 2 to 4°C above what they would have been in a world without human influence. This increase, though seemingly modest, had deadly consequences when combined with ageing infrastructure, dense urban environments, and inadequate heat preparedness in many parts of Europe. Temperatures soared well beyond seasonal norms, straining public health systems and exposing gaps in citiesâ ability to protect residents.
Researchers focused on data from June 23 to July 2 and 12 European cities in Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, the UK, Greece, Croatia, and Hungary.
Israelâs crack spy agencies rely on help from their friends
(October 16, 2025)
When Israel launched its attacks on Iran in the early morning of June 13, many news reports marvelled at the quality and ingenuity of its intelligence agencies in enabling the Israel Defense Forces to strike with such precision. But one element was not talked about in any detail: Israelâs network of relationships with other countriesâ intelligence agencies and their contribution to these covert operations.
(…)
While searching the Swiss national archives, I found a large cache of encrypted telegrams that had been shared in a network called Kilowatt. This network involved 18 countries and shared information such as the movements of specific Palestinian people identified as terrorists, including the safe houses and vehicles they used. Mossad was part of Kilowatt and could use the intelligence it received from European partners to plan and carry out its targeted assassinations in Europe. There is also ample evidence in the cables that western governments knew what Mossad was using the intelligence for.
Hegseth orders withdrawal of 5,000 US troops from Germany
The drawdown, which comes after the countryâs leader sparred with President Donald Trump over the Iran war, leaves about 33,000 troops there.
Anordnung von Hegseth: USA ziehen 5.000 Soldaten aus Deutschland ab
US-Verteidigungsminister Pete Hegseth hat den Abzug von etwa 5.000 US-Soldaten aus Deutschland angeordnet. Man gehe davon aus, dass der Abzug innerhalb der nÀchsten sechs bis zwölf Monate abgeschlossen sein werde, teilte ein Sprecher des Pentagons mit.
Trump threatens to pull some US troops from Germany, Italy and Spain amid spat over Iran war
âThe United States is studying and reviewing the possible reduction of Troops in Germany, with a determination to be made over the next short period of time,â Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Wednesday night.
On Thursday, he expanded his threat to Italy and Spain. âI mean, they havenât been exactly on board,â Trump answered, when asked about the possibility of cuts to troop levels in the two countries. âYeah, probably will,â Trump added, âWhy shouldnât I? Italy has not been of any help. Spain has been horrible. Absolutely.â
Irans PrÀsident Masoud Pezeshkian: Brief an das amerikanische Volk
(April 2, 2026)
Der iranische PrĂ€sident veröffentlichte am Mittwoch einen Brief an das amerikanische Volk. Darin war eine Botschaft enthalten, die der Mainstream lieber verbergen wĂŒrde.
âYou Are Not Our Enemyâ â Iranâs President Sends Message to Americans â FULL TEXT
I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformationâan integral part of this aggressionâand instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrantsâeducated in Iranâwho now teach and conduct research at the worldâs most prestigious universities, or contribute to the most advanced technology firms in the West. Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?
Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors. All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran enduresâresilient, dignified, and proud.
Iranâs president to Americans: Look beyond war propaganda fog, reject âmanufactured threat‘
The president sought to draw a sharp line between governments and their citizens, stating that the Iranian people harbor no ill will towards Americans. âThe Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countriesâ he wrote, describing this distinction as âa deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousnessânot a temporary political stance.â
Building on this theme, Pezeshkian noted that the perception of Iran as a danger is an invention. He said such a view is âthe product of political and economic whims of the powerfulâthe need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets.â
âIn such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented,â he added.
Iranian president says it does not view American people as enemies
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said ordinary Americans are not considered enemies despite longstanding tensions.
In a letter, he said Iranians âharbor no enmityâ toward people in the US, Europe or neighbouring countries.
He added that Iran distinguishes between governments and the people they represent, describing it as a deeply rooted principle rather than a temporary political position.
Pedro Sanchez – Europeâs only anti-war Prime Minister
The Spanish leader, who describes Israelâs atrocities in Gaza as genocide, has characterised the U.S.-Israel war on Iran as a violation of international law, becoming the only European head of government to publicly reject the war on principle

China: Das Kapitalisten-Bordell von âVolksrepublikâ soll absaufen
(July 8, 2015)
In der Hierarchie unter den âSystemrelevantenâ herrscht Unruhe. Statt den Demokratien Europas fĂ€llt nun ein Sack Aktienkurse in China die Treppe runter. Eine kurze ErlĂ€uterung.
Zur Zeit fallen an den GeldmĂ€rkten in China die Aktienkurse. Vom schlimmsten Crash der GeldhĂ€ndler seit 2007 ist die Rede. Offensichtlich ist dabei den Wenigsten unter 7 Milliarden KundInnen bewusst, dass dies im Zusammenhang mit dem nun auch fĂŒr chinesische âInvestorenâ flöten gehenden Abbaugebiet namens âEurozoneâ zu sehen ist.
Die GeldhĂ€ndler-Seite âBloombergâ erlĂ€uterte diesbezĂŒglich immerhin, dass der chinesische Premier Li Keqiang bei seinem Besuch in BrĂŒssel Ende Juni 2015 auf âeinen starken Euro und ein vereinigtes Europaâ drĂ€ngte. Warum er das tat, will den Menschen so recht keiner erklĂ€ren, jedenfalls keiner der PopulĂ€ren.
Ăber die Rolle dieser âVolksrepublikâ bei der systemischen Zersetzung und Entstaatlichung der Demokratien im Einflussbereich der âEuropĂ€ischen Unionâ und des Finanzsystems âEuroâ schrieb ich im Juli 2011:
âDieser nach Strategie zwei und drei der von Noam Chomsky âZehn Stragien der Manipulationâ gefĂŒhrte Staatsstreich von Banken, âEuropĂ€ischer Unionâ und âInternationalem WĂ€hrungfondsâ gegen die als beliebige Konkursmasse der Alten Weltordnung betrachteten Staaten des Alten Europas, findet ĂŒbrigens in der neuen Tributzone Amerikas, in China, eine sowohl verschwiegene, wie Ă€uĂerst effektive UnterstĂŒtzung. China strebt, entsprechend der hier bereits umschriebenen Vier Zonen der Ăkonomie, von der Rolle der Handelszone (niedrige WĂ€hrung, niedrige Löhne, niedriger Lebensstandard) auf zur Tributzone Amerikas.â
