A small list of news I select mostly daily for those who want to follow world news in a distilled form, as I follow them. You might like to see also the Italian or French edition (not the same news).
News selection for Feb. 07 2026
London flat shock £200,000 heating bill, the price of junk condos, uninsulated, unventilated, and incompatible with the "new deal" or the current technology of our present era, yet rented out at insane prices because the average humans doesn't realise it and lets themselves be enslaved in the big cities… hotel spycam sent/sold over Telegram, it's nothing new, but it's worth remembering that it has even happened at an institutional level; the point is that if it's technically possible, it will happen, and that's exactly what society needs to prepare for. Amazon's Tax Bill Plunges 87% After Tax Cuts while the middle class is taxed to poverty and death and still most accept it… Home demolitions to protect Citizens from flooding, a good example of the need of change, we used to live in certain areas even if they flooded because back then we really needed to, for agricultural reasons, to have running water, and because in the climate of that time they were suitable places anyway. The world changes just as technology changes; today, for example, we have pumped water mains, so there's no need to stay in valley floors to have running water. Consequently, many areas that were inhabited in the past because it was necessary to be there should simply be abandoned today. BBC Iranian journalists under surveillance, a bit like our own journalists who oppose our Nazi regime, but that isn't mentioned, just as it isn't mentioned that BBC journalists are free to do their jobs in Iran, a country under attack from the Anglosphere for ages and a dictatorship according to our press (which is quite right), the same press, however, that denies our own censorship and denies our domestic dictatorship. The usual double standards that, little by little, as the collar tightens, even the average person will probably understand when there is no longer a democratic way to change course… Florida To Make Gold & Silver Official Means Of Payment, an interesting move, in most countries while totally unused in practice they are actually legal tender and most simply ignore they are. China Bans Stablecoin Issuance, for once, something that protects citizens who are unaware of the fact that there is a fund-freezing clause in practically all stablecoins. I would prefer if this aspect is stated clearly instead of blocking non-governmental ones, but they don't do that mostly because they want to keep controlling citizens, everywhere in the world… David Webb's The Great Taking advance, it's very useful to remember Forbes' summary of the (in)famous WEF video (2016) about their 2030 goals… The "you will own nothing", because they plan to have stolen everything from all of us. Atmospheric methane spike during lockdowns, another example following in the footsteps of the famous study on how reducing emissions can actually accelerate global warming. It is nothing new, but it is yet another small step to keep in mind towards digital legacy and the need to preserve personal information beyond one's own lifetime. Cuba, the next country USA will invade? A little curiosity about one of the many everyday details that most people generally ignore as if they didn't exist, without any curiosity. A neat piece on the power of propaganda through "modern" media, a lesson to reflect on, even if only a few will… How US and Russian nuclear arsenals have evolved, a nice graph. Nazis from Finland will help Nazis in Ukraine monitoring their respective elections, what could possibly go wrong? Kazakhstan retaliates against the January 2022 price surge ordered by the IMF, which almost led to the government's downfall… It's not a matter of money; it's the obsolete teaching methods and rubbish textbooks, created solely to justify their cover price, that are causing the collapse. But those with a dinosaur mentality will never be able to admit it… Denmark ask for Spanish support for Greenland, stating that Spain might suffer similar fate for Ceuta and Melilla and Canary Islands. AMD Windows bundle driver crap RCE will not be fixed, while FLOSS OSes bundling all the drivers obviates the need to run almost all of this type of low quality (if not outright spyware) driver management software… The EU needs politicians, mature leaders, not Nazi international paper-pushers who think they can govern through bureaucracy… A nice post from AsiaTimes.
