My electricity bill for my primary residence was 24% higher in Oct. 2026 than it was in Oct. 2025. It's the same house with all the same appliances. This isn't what happens in an economy where the inflation rate is anywhere near 2%. That's just one bill. They're all going way up.
Not enough people know this: in practice, the IMF is controlled by the US.
The US is the only country that has de facto veto power at the IMF because the biggest decisions require an 85% supermajority of total voting power. The US' vote share is 16.5%
This was by design, and the supermajority threshold was actually moved in 1978 so that the US vote share would continue to give the country veto power.
We should not see the IMF as an organisation that serves global development.
We should see is as an organisation that serves mainly Western interests — and, above all, US interests.
Cientos de personas se movilizaron en las calles del Centro Histórico de Mérida, Yucatán, para manifestarse en contra de los anuncios de inversión de empresas de Israel en la entidad.
La marcha, que inició en el Parque de Santiago y concluyó frente al Palacio de Gobierno, reunió a ciudadanos de diversas edades y representantes de comunidades mayas, quienes expresaron su rechazo a los convenios relacionados con el manejo de recursos hídricos, agricultura y seguridad, señalando la situación del conflicto en Palestina y las acusaciones internacionales por crímenes de guerra contra el gobierno israelí.

Why France is protesting:
— Debt is 119% of GDP (similar to Greece in the 2009 crisis)
— Deficit spending is almost 6% of GDP (wider than Italy’s in 2011 crisis)
— Record poverty rate of 15.4%
— Consistent inflation, exacerbated by Ukraine war and now accelerating due to Iran war
— Interest rate explosion due to the Iran war (now pays more than Greece)
— Privatisation of public assets
— Crumbling public services & infrastructure
— Poor condition of public schools & lack of teachers
— Corruption, cronyism & elite self-dealing
— Special tax arrangements for elites and mega corporations who invest abroad
— Rising living costs & low stagnant wages (€2k median)
— Loss of African territories and exploitation schemes
— Police brutality & protest repression
— Comedians and journalists censored
Quality of life is evaporating in France while the elites loot everything and become more overtly corrupt and repressive as it becomes more clear to the common public how dire the situation is. Macron now has an 82% disapproval rate…
The Ukraine and Iran war are the straws on the camel’s back, skyrocketing both inflation and interest rates on debt. Europe simply cannot survive this.
Una de las grandes mentiras de este tiempo es que no hay dinero. Que por eso hay que recortar en educación, salud, jubilaciones. Pero riqueza sí hay, solo que acaparada por ricos cada vez más ricos. Lo explica Piketty con números, para entender por qué tantos protestan en Europa.
En Europa están desmantelando sus estados de bienestar (el modelo que los convirtió en las sociedades de mejor calidad de vida del mundo) en nombre del rearme militar y "eficiencia del gasto". Lo cual ha profundizado desigualdades y precarizado la gente. ¿Qué podría salir mal?
Cerimedo estuvo en EEUU e Israel obteniendo helicópteros y equipo táctico militar para secuestrar a Evo Morales de manera ilegal financiado con dinero negro estando él al mando. Una vez más se demuestra que las acusaciones de Nadia Beller sobre Cerimedo eran ciertas.
Cerimedo se lo cuenta al ministro de Obras Públicas, Mauricio Zamora, que le ofrece pagarle todo lo que cueste el operativo en negro con dólares. Este Mauricio fue quien le ayudó a Cerimedo a silenciar la primera denuncia de maltrato de Nada Beller.
Al final del audio Cerimedo asegura que ya hizo un intento con los gringos llegando hasta el segundo anillo de seguridad de Evo Morales en el Chapare.
Trump’s endorsement of Netanyahu is political suicide ahead of the midterms, yet he did it anyway
He risked his own political future for Bibi, and that speaks volumes about Israel’s influence over Trump and U.S. politics
Paris looks like a war zone. What is the cause? The cost of living? Mass immigration? A mismanaged economy? Excessive spending on war? A crisis of political legitimacy caused by an unaccountable elite? Europe will likely be a very different place 10 years from now.
Cayó César Jáuregui, ex Fiscal de Chihuahua, por orden de aprehensión vinculada al caso CIA.
Lo detuvieron este sábado en la capital por los delitos de ejercicio ilegal del servicio público y coalición, derivados del operativo de abril en El Pinal (Morelos), donde participaron agentes de la CIA y murieron dos de ellos.
También hay orden contra Guillermo Arturo Zuany Portillo, ex Fiscal Especial de Operaciones Estratégicas, señalado en las investigaciones como posible enlace con los agentes estadounidenses. Ambos ya habían renunciado meses atrás por el escándalo.
La gobernadora Maria Eugenia Campos los había acusado días antes de “actuar por la libre”.
¿La soberanía no se negocia o venganza política?
¿Qué sigue?

Tras reconocer el histórico respaldo de México a Palestina, Jeremy Corbyn pidió al gobierno mexicano apoyar las órdenes de arresto de la Corte Penal Internacional contra Netanyahu, y romper el comercio con Israel como sanción por el genocidio en Gaza.
Al presentar el libro “The Gaza Tribunal. Britain’s complicity in genocide” en la Escuela Nacional de Antropología e Historia, el ex dirigente del Partido Laborista británico sostuvo que la suspensión del comercio con Israel debe ser “la siguiente etapa” en la presión internacional para detener la ofensiva en Gaza.

BREAKING: 🇮🇱 ISRAEL DISCOVERED HACKING MILLIONS OF PHONES
Israel has been caught running one of the largest spyware operations in history, even developing a new next-gen spyware.
They’ve hacked the phones of MILLIONS worldwide including Journalists, politicians, activists, courts, universities and defence organisations.
This should be headline news but but the media is IGNORING it.
Israeli ad company Discover-Tech used ordinary online ads to infect people’s devices with spyware WITHOUT them having to click on anything.
If the ad appeared on a website or app in front of you, you got infected.
So far, over 120,000 websites and 70,000 apps were found to be pushing Israeli spyware at least 10 million times a day…
And Discover-Tech was found accounting for 2%-10% of ALL digital ads in Palestine…
The company was working with an Israeli spyware vendor the U.S. blacklisted in 2021. Yet somehow it passed vendor review for SIX years by Google and other ad platforms. I wonder why….
The vendor was called Candiru and now goes by Integrity Labs (lol).

In 1948, a photo summarized centuries of injustice. The man in suit and tie, standing before photographers, broke into tears. He was George Gillette, leader of the Mandan, Arikara, and Hidatsa tribes of the Missouri River.
The document in his hands was not a negotiated settlement. It was the forced secession of ancestral lands from his people to the U.S. government. More than 150,000 native ancestral acres, full of homes, schools, churches, and fertile fields. The US government forced him to hand over the land so they could flood it all by building the Garrison dam.
Gillette knew that with his signature he sealed a permanent tragedy. But if he didn’t, the tribes would receive NO compensation, The US government would simply take the land. Through tears he said "Today we sign under protest. Our hands are tied, but our hearts are sad."
The dam flooded entire villages, erased old communities, and buried centuries of indigenous history.
We must not whitewash American history in our schools.
Jennifer Welch: “Donald Trump is a psychopath. Stephen Miller is as well, as well as Pete Hegseth. They enjoy recreational killing and cruelty. Their supporters also like it. Evangelical Christians, they lecture all of us about life. They’re not pro-life, they are pro-killing and pro being punitive towards women and other marginalized groups. It pains me to think that we have to share a country with such fleabags of human beings that support this regime”
Kevin Hassett claims the U.S. economy is very strong because consumers are saving less and spending more. He attributes that to high confidence. But confidence is at a record low. Consumers are spending more because stuff costs more, and they're borrowing because they're broke.
🇬🇧 This woman in London was ARRESTED for feeding a few PIGEONS on the road.
The British police have nothing to say about RAMPANT shoplifting that's causing INFLATION, but post mean tweets or feed a few birds, and the sirens come out.
Pathetic.

Netafim, la empresa israelí, tiene convenios para el tratamiento de aguas de Jalisco desde 2016.
En 2022, una delegación del Gobierno de Jalisco visitó Tel Aviv para este motivo.
La estrategia era muy clara: destruir el sistema de agua para entregarlo a los israelíes.
