Gold was the biggest IQ test of 2026 and most people failed it. - Everyone was a gold expert at $5,589. Silence at $4,557. - War in the Middle East and gold is crashing. The safe haven narrative just completely died. - The same people who said “gold to $10,000” can’t explain why it’s falling during a war. When inflation comes from oil and not money printing, gold doesn’t protect you. It punishes you.





Belgian PM Bart De Wever just gave Ursula von der Leyen (and Europe) the most brutal wake-up call of 2026: “Europe must never become an industrial museum.” Key lines that hit hard: - “A year ago I said Europe must never become an industrial museum… the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution cannot turn into a beautiful heritage park where visitors admire the prosperity of the past while the future is built elsewhere.” - Chemical sector: closures increased sixfold in four years — 10% of European production capacity lost. - “We seem to be finding or adding barriers faster than we remove them.” - 3.9% of workforce manages regulation → only 1.7% invents the future. - “If we neglect our industrial base, we lose not only growth — we lose influence, and ultimately sovereignty.” His three urgent fronts: Give industry room to grow (technological neutrality, shock therapy on regulation) Build partnerships that strengthen, not dependencies Attract and scale strategic projects (clean tech, defense, AI, critical minerals) Final warning: “Decarbonization of Europe will become synonymous with its deindustrialization, and eventually with its poverty and irrelevance.” De Wever says Europe’s industrial decline is a conscious policy choice — not inevitable. Do you think he’s right that we’re sleepwalking toward poverty and irrelevance… or can the EU still reverse course in time?




Guerre en Iran : «Cette diplomatie américaine fait de l’incompétence sa marque de fabrique. Les deux négociateurs, Kushner et Witkoff connaissaient moins bien le dossier nucléaire iranien que des étudiants de Sciences Po. Ils ne comprennent pas le régime iranien», déplore @renaudgirard dans Le Club Le Figaro International.

we are so back

Democracy rests on a basic bargain: you get to bring any viewpoint to the public square, and nobody gets to kill you for it. This is why we treat political violence — terrorism — so harshly. Once you decide to kill people for their opinions instead of persuade them, you’ve opted out of civilization. We will continue to watch this case.






EPSTEIN: More evidence that Trump was the original Jeffrey Epstein whistleblower is coming out from court documents. Trump was responsible for Epstein’s first conviction and Epstein knew and was livid.



Le Congo belge avait de l'électricité partout, des routes en excellent état, des hôpitaux ultra-modernes, des transports en commun fonctionnels et des écoles. Si les Congolais n'avaient pas écouté les démagogues anti-coloniaux, peut-être qu'ils auraient encore tout ça.
