It is here! It is publication day of my new book about ‘Operation Wrath of God’ - My research reveals for the first time how Western intelligence agencies helped Mossad to hunt and kill Palestinians suspected of involvement in terrorist activities in Europe @cambUP_History

I rarely agree with Rahman but this is consistent with what many people have pointed out about LFI and its internal culture: no serious interest in governing, despotic, personalist and centred around JLM, happy to mislead the public about policy, entirely theatrical, self-serving, cynical charlatanry, and, yeah, likely willing to fan unrest even in the knowledge that it might fuel support for the far-right, if it puts them in a better position to grandstand. Not that they are to blame for the escalation, but I resent the credulity of the anglophone left that has thrown in their lot with them, just because JLM babbles something about 'the creativity of the youth' and Guetté is 'slaying' holding a cigarette. Just a total surrender to the worst bourgeois radical impulses which have kept the left irrelevant and obsolete: a focus on the rhetoric, theatre and aesthetics of activism and street politics, married to arcane theorising and academic solipsism.

Heureux d’accueillir le président de la République du Tchad, Mahamat Idriss Déby, à Paris. Avec la signature aujourd’hui d’une déclaration d’intention, nous franchissons une nouvelle étape et actons le renforcement de notre partenariat de défense, dans la logique d’une relation renouvelée. Ensemble, nous bâtissons un partenariat fondé sur le respect mutuel et des coopérations concrètes au bénéfice de nos peuples, en particulier aux plans culturel et économique, avec de nombreuses avancées pour nos entreprises.

What would have happened if French factories had worked British hours from 1937? A very different battle on the Meuse.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

The United States commends Nigeria's strong response to the latest attacks from Fulani militant groups. We will continue to work with the Nigerian government to protect Christians in the Middle Belt. We urge Nigeria to continue the momentum and defend the Barkin Ladi communities in particular.

Many professors in the humanities keep calling it a packaging problem. Wrong. The real reasons enrollment is collapsing: obsession with identity, speech policing as virtue, and the conversion of entire disciplines into political projects.

🇲🇱The recent attack on Dioura, Mali, was preventable & further illustrates how little the FAMa seem to be learning from past mistakes. Dioura has fallen four times: in 2019, 2023, 2025, & again on Sep 10, 2026. In this recent case, I see failures at both the higher and lower levels of command. This particular video is from the May 2025 attack, but I’m using it because the footage clearly helps illustrate the same problems from the Sep 10 attack. 1) Dioura is the worst constructed base I've seen in Mali. See video, the Hesco barriers are chest high all around. Imagine being trapped inside a box, while attackers can run straight up to the walls, use them as cover, fire into the camp, then simply climb over and enter from anywhere. Once a sizeable force reaches the perimeter, it's over, good game. This part is the local command failure, its difficult to understand how the Dioura commander would sit in such a vulnerable position without improving it. But look at the image to the right, That is from a base FAMa built in the Tombouctou region last year. So why not Dioura? Dioura is important enough to reoccupying after repeated disasters, but apparently not important enough to send engineering assets to properly fortify. This is the kind of repeated negligence and higher command failure that's been common throughout this war.
