How Eschatology Wreaks Havoc in the United States and Russia
Beyond the establishment of a “vertical of power,” beyond the dominant influence of oligarchs close to the presidential clan, beyond corruption, nepotism, and anti-liberalism, the United States is converging with Russia on another essential point: […]

The Epstein Case, a Godsend for Russian Propaganda
The Kremlin’s bigots, as shown by independent Russian media, indulge in pedophilia and debauchery and are every bit as bad as Epstein’s cronies. But that doesn’t stop Putin’s propaganda from spreading about the Epstein case, […]

President Putin’s Final Battle
Putin is locked in a race against the clock: he must crush Ukraine quickly to then vassalize European elites by exploiting their rejection of Trump. The conclusion is unequivocal: faced with this trap, Europe must choose neither the plague nor the cholera, but stand united against the “two gangsters” by continuing to support Kyiv.

Economic Relations, an Underestimated Weapon in the Kremlin’s Hybrid War Against the West. II. Contagion
In this essay, Françoise Thom demonstrates that Russia’s strategy of economic confrontation did not begin with Putin’s rise to power, but unfolded in a new form as early as the 1990s. Far from being aid, Western funds fueled systemic corruption. Billions from the IMF and the World Bank were massively siphoned off by oligarchs. This money was then laundered with the passive complicity of major Western banks.

Economic Relations, an Underestimated Weapon in the Kremlin’s Hybrid War against the West – I. The Leninist Imprint
The appeal of the Russian market, perceived as an El Dorado by Westerners, stems from a historical strategic blindness. For centuries, the West has deluded itself into believing that trade can integrate Russia as a rational and peaceful player in the global economy. However, this vision is fundamentally flawed. For the Kremlin, from the Tsarist era to the present day, trade is not an end in itself, but a pure instrument of power. It is a means of acquiring technology and capital to strengthen its military apparatus and consolidate its regime, while weakening its adversaries.

Cesspool and Chaos: the Russian Connection in the Epstein Affair
In this explosive article, French historian Françoise Thom highlights the close relationship between the late financier Jeffrey Epstein and the father of his accomplice Ghislaine, Robert Maxwell, the late British press magnate, on the one hand, and the upper echelons of Soviet and then Russian power on the other. This raises a troubling question: what if it was the FSB that held the infamous “list” of Epstein’s clients? What better way to compromise the American elite than to possess evidence of participation in orgies with minors?
