Babel TV claimed that a video showed Jean Quatremer in tears after the opening, according to the media, of a German investigation into the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. He estimated that the investigation risked undermining the Ukrainian and Western narrative, which has attributed responsibility to Russia from the beginning and has served to justify the war and support for Kiev. Babel TV added that the examination of long-hidden files could, according to him, bring to light other cases. He cited what he described as massive electoral fraud in the United States and elsewhere, the handling of the Covid crisis, the side effects of vaccines, the agendas of globalist networks, and the Epstein case. He predicted that these issues could shake other official narratives and wrote that Quatremer should be concerned about what could follow the investigation into Nord Stream. #NordStream #information #actualité #JeanQuatremer #Ukraine #Occident #EnquêteAllemande #FraudeÉlectorale #Covid #Vaccins #Mondialistes #Epstein #Vérité #Narratif #Propagande #Russie #Allemagne #Libération #Corruption #Élites #NordStream #Ukraine #Vérité (translated)

Antisemitism is structurally necessary for Musk's politics, because the right-wing populism he supports needs to frame itself as fighting for "the people" against "the elites," but as the world's wealthiest person, he needs a definition of "elite" not rooted in actual wealth or corporate ownership.

Rising healthcare costs are a huge blind spot for our pundit class and elites because it's one of those things that's more noticeable the further down the income scale you are. Having your premiums rise $500/month year to year doesn't really rate if you're making $250k but kills you if you make $50k

Dandi from Consignado wrote that the 1988 Constitution expanded the electorate by millions of people but did not hold accountable, in his assessment, the elites who benefited from the regimes between 1930 and 1980. According to him, FHC and Lula I postponed the problem by making the economy more efficient and resorting to indirect redistribution, while Lula II postponed it with economic growth. The author stated that misguided decisions from Dilma I were followed by unsuccessful attempts from Dilma II and Michel Temer to manage the situation. He also mentioned that Bolsonaro began to transfer costs to the poorest and that Lula tried to do so with the wealthiest, but none of the initiatives succeeded because divided elites remained indecisive. Dandi stated that the fiscal problem and stagnation of productivity could no longer be postponed. As alternatives, he presented the opening of the economy, microeconomic reforms, a significant increase in taxation of the wealthiest, the end of inefficient sectoral policies, and a restrictive environmental agenda—measures that, according to him, would benefit the poorest and burden the richest. The other option, he wrote, would be to deeply cut social spending, allow the expansion of the agricultural frontier without correcting the inefficiencies of agribusiness, maintain industrial policy, and let inflation reduce the value of debt. He concluded that postponing this choice would no longer be possible without social conflict or the continuation of malaise. #Economia #Política #JustiçaSocial (translated)

Mehdi (e/λ) wrote that the idea of a completely peaceful revolt was, in his view, a comfortable myth intended to neutralize dissent.

Chicago Boy indicated that he had discussed that very morning with a Parisian leader about David Lisnard. According to him, the Parisian milieu despised him, reducing him notably to his image of a "Cannes redneck" and his jogging. He believed that this contempt could serve Lisnard and that he should rely on a discourse in favor of a return of power to the provinces and decentralization. He clarified that this would not be a discourse against the elites in general, but against the Parisian elite, which he described as disdainful and incompetent. #Politique #Décentralisation #Elites (translated)
