Under the pretext of ensuring the independence of the judiciary, impunity and arbitrariness are being encouraged. The independence of judges is only the means to achieve impartiality. The latter is the principle that must govern the actions of the judiciary, something that is often forgotten and is not required of judges who show their preferences for the most powerful. A caste that necessarily comes from a wealthy middle class, in many cases children and grandchildren of other judges, cannot be democratic.

Everything you read, write, speak, record, photograph, or communicate on a computing device will surely end up in the hands of a U.S. law enforcement agency or its accomplices. The same will happen with your own data, that of your loved ones and your recipients, with information about everything you own, use, buy, rent, consume, borrow, throw away or want. The same will happen with your trips, infractions or contraventions: everything will be recorded and preserved even after you have forgotten it or die, for the exclusive use of surveillance agencies or monopolies.

It took them years in Moscow to understand the seriousness of the Western globalist project that envisioned a subaltern Russia with a comprador national elite subordinated to the large Western transnationals.

Westerners wanted unrestricted free access for their multinationals to Eurasian resources, and of course recognized no political, economic, or military "zones of influence" beyond their own hegemonic domain. Moscow's initial collaboration was seen as weakness and Putin's repeated complaints ignored for years.

A new-old ghost hangs over Europe: war. The most violent continent in the world in terms of the number of deaths caused by wars during the last 100 years (not to go any further and include the deaths suffered by Europe during religious wars and the deaths inflicted by Europeans on peoples subjected to colonialism) is headed for a new war.
Nearly 80 years after World War II, the most violent conflict yet, which killed between 70 and 85 million people, the coming war may be even deadlier. All previous conflicts began apparently without a compelling reason and were supposed to last for a short time.
