Le gouverneur de la Banque de France Moulin m'accuse de le menacer et demande où ailleurs dans le monde on se le permet. Je lui demande où ailleurs dans le monde le président nomme un copain de son équipe technique comme dirigeant de la banque centrale ? Et où ailleurs dans le monde le banquier central élu par personne donne ses avis politiques sur la gestion de son pays ? Où le banquier central alimente la volonté spéculative contre son pays ? Où le banquier central peut croire que la loi ne s'applique pas à lui comme à tout citoyen à propos de trahison ?

Israel /US relations: a masterclass in state capture..
The Trump Administration Has Cancelled 250,000 Visas To The Country Over “Antisemitism” Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, Trump’s Special Envoy to “Combat Antisemitism”, announced the staggering figure while talking about alleged anti-Semitism on college campuses. In reality, what he is talking about is anti-Israel sentiment. The anti-free speech policies of the Republican administration have been slammed by Americans who argue that if critiquing the U.S. government is permitted, then why is criticism of a foreign government not.

When people misuse the term “imperialism” to mean “big state picks on small states” they miss that actual imperialism describes a global structure to secure hegemony with a multitude levers like this.

When you strip away the tourist brochures and the superficial comfort of Windhoek's clean streets, the raw numbers expose a fragile, highly vulnerable state that has merely delayed its reckoning by running a massive consumption economy funded by finite resources. Namibia operates one of the most mathematically absurd public sector to population ratios on the planet, employing over 100,000 civil servants for a tiny population of roughly 3 million people. The state is not an economic facilitator; it is the primary employer because the private sector has been structurally suffocated. A staggering chunk of national tax revenue doesn't go toward capital expenditure, automated logistics, or industrial scaling, it goes entirely toward funding the salaries, allowances, and perks of a bloated bureaucratic elite. This is a fiscal dead-end. The government is issuing sovereign debt to pay for daily consumption, causing its debt to GDP ratio to aggressively escalate from a stable 16% in 2010 to over 65%. The political class is currently tranquilizing the populace with the grand illusion of an upcoming oil and green hydrogen boom. But history and macroeconomic math dictate that resources do not build nations; institutions do. Instead of preparing the population for generational industrialization, Windhoek is copying the catastrophic, extractive regulatory playbooks of its neighbors. The draft local content policies focus heavily on mandatory equity transfers and political joint ventures rather than demanding deep technical meritocracy and global competitiveness. "Local content" in Namibia will not mean manufacturing hubs or wealth creation for the marginalized masses in Katutura; it will mean a highly lucrative, state-sanctioned rent-seeking apparatus for a narrow, politically connected elite. You cannot maintain an operating civilization when over 40% of your youth are structurally excluded from the formal economy. The Namibian education system functions as a factory for structural unemployment, churning out humanities graduates into an economy that desperately requires engineers, logisticians, geologists, and software developers. Instead of opening its borders to foreign skills and elite capital to catalyze growth, the state hides behind restrictive, xenophobic immigration bureaucracies. Namibia's current stability is an inherited historical momentum, not a product of superior contemporary governance. It is an economy living on borrowed time, diamond royalties, and SACU receipts. But the laws of economics cannot be cheated forever. The moment the resource revenues are entirely captured by the ruling cadre and the debt servicing costs choke the national budget, the facade will completely shatter. Until the Namibian citizenry refuses to accept "at least we are not a failed state" as a civilizational benchmark, the decline will continue. The math does not care about your tranquility, and the market always issues the final, clinical verdict.

That's MAGA for you. It is not different from the Ku Klux Klan.
The Trump administration plans to spend $1-million from the US human rights budget to "advance white Afrikaner rights in South Africa" by "documenting abuses against SA minorities." Part of a larger push to use US money to promote right-wing ideology. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

I been saying for a decade but it’s truer each year: Western societies’ politics are shaking out into literal Hitler-worshiping Neo-Nazis versus social democratic reformists. Eventually, every Westerner will pick one or the other side, even if they think they’ll refuse to.

Worth rereading, almost a decade later. In 2017, Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu and I argued that Africa’s energy challenge had to be understood as an opportunity for investment, innovation and structural transformation — with African business at its centre. Today, Dangote has become a powerful champion of producing and adding value in Africa, while Tony continues to make the case for African private capital, entrepreneurship and investment over dependency. 💥 What looked ambitious then is increasingly becoming the African economic agenda now👍. We need to move even faster. project-syndicate.org/commen…

I am flabbergasted that, people the current Cameroon government has locked up, have better solutions to Cameroon issues than the charlatans leading the country at the moment.

Actually yes. The evolution of the Kaba (the blouses) itself started with ladies who learned sewing in an all girls high school in cape coast from 1836. Early Victorian era. The teachers were wives of white missionaries (colonisers). So the early dressmaking was influenced by them.

The decision to ban Palestine Action was a political one. This isn't a matter to pass along and leave to the courts. Labour can lift the ban immediately and drop the prosecutions.
'We don't supply bombs and bullets to Israel that contribute to the occupation.' Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband opposes 'grannies and vicars' from Palestine Action being labelled as 'terrorists'.

Almost all American tech billionaires we celebrate as having extraordinary entrepreneurship capacities got a major contract from US Govt (often defense agencies) at some critical point in their entrepreneurship journey. The idea sold to us that thye're "self-made" is hogwash!
A secret CIA contract with Steve Jobs in the late 1980s may have saved his career and laid the foundation for Apple's success in subsequent decades, according to journalist Sharon Weinberger. She confirmed the long-rumored relationship for her new book "Valley of Death: How Big Tech Is Fueling the Future of War," which details the history of Silicon Valley's entanglement with the U.S. national security apparatus. After Jobs was forced out of Apple in the mid-1980s, he founded a new computer company called NeXT that was struggling to find a market for its expensive machines. That's when the CIA placed a major order with NeXT that effectively saved the company and bought Jobs enough time to mount a successful comeback to Apple in 1996. "The operating system from NeXT became the operating system for modern Apple products," says Weinberger. "So the argument I would hear from people both inside that company and inside the intelligence community was the CIA effectively saved Jobs and saved Apple."

In the old economics, doing good is a correction for a market failure. In an economics of the common good, it is an objective we design and work on together in every contract and relationship from the start. The Common Good Economy is out in Spain today. Launch events in Madrid and Barcelona next month (links below).

L’afaire Thelyson Orelien. C'était ça ou le lire! Tuer un livre sans jamais l'ouvrir au nom de la vertu, de la pureté, ce n'est pas mon genre. Apparemment, je ne suis pas le seul. Je viens de quitter ma librairie de quartier. Le livre est en réimpression. Le livre a beau soulever la controverse, il n'est pas moins en demande, au grand bonheur de ses éditeurs. Ma copie m'attendait patiemment. Si je me réfère à une centaine de publications sur les réseaux, la majorité des gens semblent s'arrêter, au fond, sur la qualité propre du livre. Plusieurs, comme moi, l'ont acheté après les prétendues révélations. Certains professeurs l'ont mis au programme. D'autres ont acheté plusieurs copies pour en faire cadeau. Le vrai sujet, n'est-il pas là? Non pas l'auteur, non pas les enquêteurs, mais ce succès qui persiste malgré les révélations, malgré les polémiques. Un livre qui continue de se vendre, de se lire, de se transmettre après qu'on eut voulu le couler. Pourquoi lui, et pourquoi maintenant. Je ne suis pas dans le déni, je ne nie pas qu'il existe des similitudes, des petits d’extraits de textes anciens qui ressemblent à d'autres petits extraits de textes anciens. Mais je refuse d'accorder à ces enquêtes, aussi sérieuses se prétendent-elles, l'autorité qu'on voudrait leur prêter. La Presse n'a pas enquêté sur tous les livres, ni sur toutes les bibliothèques, ni sur les milliers de textes d'opinion publiés depuis vingt ans, corrigés, réécrits, repris par des relecteurs et des éditeurs dont le métier est justement de reformuler, de polir, de faire ressembler une phrase à une autre phrase mieux tournée. La Presse n'a pas non plus tenu compte de ce que d'autres domaines créatifs admettent depuis longtemps, en musique par exemple, où l'on parle de sample, d'emprunt, de citation, d'hommage, sans qu'on y voie chaque fois un vol. Une œuvre littéraire n'est jamais l'émanation pure et solitaire d'un seul cerveau, elle passe par des mains, par des corrections, par des influences qu'on ne cite pas toujours parce qu'on ne les reconnaît pas soi-même. L'impossibilité d'enquêter sur tous rend difficile, pour moi en tout cas, d'accepter le jugement porté sur un seul. Je ne suis pas le seul à poser la question. Est-ce que le sujet dérange? Est-ce que la migration, comme thème, comme humanité qu'on refuse de voir passer les frontières, dérange davantage qu'on ne le dit? Est-ce que le succès d'un tel livre allait provoquer une prise de conscience sur un enjeu trop grand, trop réel, trop dérangeant pour qu'on le laisse prospérer sans le fragiliser d'une manière ou d'une autre? Je ne prétends pas avoir la réponse. Mais je note la coïncidence, et une coïncidence répétée cesse d'en être une. Quelqu'un avait-il intérêt à étouffer le message en tuant le messager? Comme un morceau de viande jeté par terre, des vautours, qui se prétendent chiens de garde, se sont jetés dessus. Si on accuse le narrateur de plagiat, qui s'interrogera sur l'empressement de certains médias à s'emparer de l'affaire? Le journalisme aussi à ses impératifs, et une bonne controverse se vend mieux qu'une nuance. J'espère qu'Orélien écrira d'autres livres. J'espère que des éditeurs auront le courage de le publier encore et encore. Dans ces temps glauques, un peu de littérature et un peu de génie, ce n'est pas de refus. Peut-être que le livre porte quelque chose de plus grand que son auteur, que les idéologies, et que tous ses enquêteurs réunis, quelque chose qui leur survivra, à eux comme à la polémique elle-même. Ironiquement, le livre commence avec cette phrase dite par son narrateur « Ce jour-là, j'ai ri.. ». Rions de nos dérisoires dérisions. Rions de ces renversements où celui qui accuse finit par ressembler à celui qu'il accusait. Rions surtout de nous-mêmes, nous qui avons failli, un instant, préférer l'indignation sélective à la lecture.
