@monolecte, oui, j’avais pensé au balai de chiotte…
sinon, les fans ouvrent l’œil, et le bon
parmi les photos de la visite de J. Milei à l’usine Tesla à Austin, Texas, celle-ci, où ils zooment sur la nuque de Musk pour commenter… l’écusson de Star X ?, non, bien sûr le couvre-chef de l’interprète (probablement, car la personne à la gauche de Milei est l’ambassadeur d’Argentine aux ÉÉ-UU, Gerardo Werthein, vétérinaire, président du comité olympique d’Argentine,…)… -

Argentina’s populist president meets billionaire Elon Musk in Texas — and a bromance is born - ABC News
▻https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/argentinas-populist-president-meets-billionaire-elon-musk-texas-10918355One is an erratic billionaire entrepreneur and self-declared free-speech absolutist, prone to profanity-laden rants against “wokeness” and obsessed with making humanity a multi-planetary species.
The other is an iconoclastic Latin American leader and self-declared anarcho-capitalist, prone to cloning his dead dogs and obsessed with destroying state controls.
Tech executive Elon Musk and Argentine President Javier Milei finally sealed their budding #bromance Friday at a Tesla electric car factory in Texas — their first meeting after months of mutual admiration on social media.
It was a match made in free-market heaven.
In social media posts that thrilled their right-wing fans, the pair played up their real-life friendship.
[…]
Gerardo Werthein, Argentina’s ambassador to the U.S., attended Friday’s meeting and told La Nación newspaper that Milei and Musk discussed Argentina’s vast reserves of strategic minerals, including #lithium, an indispensable ingredient in batteries for electric cars.“He expressed wanting to help Argentina, and had a very good view of everything we have, mainly lithium,” Werthein said of Musk.
Milei’s love for free markets and close alignment with U.S. policy — a major shift after years of left-wing governments that adopted interventionist policies and strained relations with Washington — has raised hopes in the U.S. that lithium and other badly needed metals can be extracted closer to home, breaking China’s dominance of the battery supply chain.

US to bring back aircraft carrier from eastern Mediterranean - ABC News
▻https://abcnews.go.com/International/exclusive-us-bring-back-gerald-r-ford-aircraft-carrier-eastern-mediterranean/story?id=106021259A senior U.S. official and a U.S. official told ABC News that in the “coming days,” the carrier and other surface ships that make up the strike group will return to the carrier’s home port of Norfolk, Virginia, as originally scheduled so it could prepare for future deployments.
The senior U.S. official stressed that the carrier’s return will keep to that schedule and that even with the Ford’s departure, the United States will still have a lot of military capability in the region and flexibility, including the deployment of additional cruisers and destroyers in the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

A flotilla of migrant boats from Tunisia overwhelms an Italian island and tests Meloni’s policy - ABC News
▻https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/italian-island-lampedusa-sees-5000-migrants-arriving-100-103144921A flotilla of flimsy boats, crowded with migrants and launched from Tunisia, overwhelmed a tiny southern Italian island on Wednesday, taxing the coast guard’s capability to intercept the smugglers’ vessels and testing Premier Giorgia Meloni’s pledge to thwart irregular migration.
Compounding the political pressure on Italy’s first post-war far-right leader were vows by France and Germany to rebuff migrants who arrive by sea on Italian shores, and, in defiance of European Union asylum system rules, head northward to try to find jobs or relatives.
Starting early Tuesday, the unseaworthy, overcrowded iron boats, came one after the other in what appeared to be almost a procession to onlookers on Lampedusa, a fishing and tourist island south of Sicily. Around 6,800 migrants came in a span of just over 24 hours — that number is a few hundred higher than the isle’s full-time population.

Carcinogens found at Montana nuclear missile sites as reports of hundreds of cancers surface - ABC News
▻https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/carcinogens-found-nuclear-missile-sites-reports-hundreds-cancers-1020876According to the Torchlight Initiative, at least 268 troops who served at nuclear missile sites, or their surviving family members, have self-reported being diagnosed with cancer, blood diseases or other illnesses over the past several decades.
At least 217 of those reported cases are cancers, at least 33 of them non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
What’s notable about those reported numbers is that the missileer community is very small. Only a few hundred airmen serve as missileers at each of the country’s three silo-launched Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile bases any given year. There have been only about 21,000 missileers in total since the Minuteman operations began in the early 1960s, according to the Torchlight Initiative.
For some context, in the U.S. general population there are about 403 new cancer cases reported per 100,000 people each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma affects an estimated 19 of every 100,000 people annually, according to the American Cancer Society.

A monumental UFO scandal is looming | The Hill
▻https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/4134891-a-monumental-ufo-scandal-is-loomingSoit le gouvernement américain a organisé une dissimulation extraordinaire, longue de plusieurs décennies, des activités de récupération et de rétro-ingénierie d’ovnis, soit des éléments de l’establishment de la défense et du renseignement se livrent à une campagne de désinformation psychologique incroyablement effrontée.
L’une ou l’autre possibilité aurait de profondes implications pour la démocratie, le rôle du gouvernement et peut-être aussi la place de l’humanité dans le cosmos.
Pour ces raisons, il est impératif que le Congrès et les agences fédérales d’application de la loi consacrent des ressources importantes à enquêter sur une série de développements remarquables liés aux ovnis.
Il est important de noter qu’une troisième explication des événements récents - que des dizaines de responsables de haut niveau et hautement qualifiés en sont venus à croire que les mythes, les rumeurs et les spéculations OVNI persistants sont des faits - semble de plus en plus improbable.
Either the U.S. government has mounted an extraordinary, decades-long coverup of UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering activities, or elements of the defense and intelligence establishment are engaging in a staggeringly brazen psychological disinformation campaign.
Either possibility would have profound implications for democracy, the role of government and perhaps also humanity’s place in the cosmos.
For these reasons, it is imperative that Congress and federal law enforcement agencies devote significant resources to investigating a series of remarkable UFO-related developments.
Importantly, a third explanation for recent events — that dozens of high-level, highly-cleared officials have come to believe enduring UFO myths, rumors and speculation as fact — appears increasingly unlikely.

UFOs & UAPs: Cosmic Watergate 2.0? | National Review
▻https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/cosmic-watergate-2-0While I think (and have argued before) that the question of UAPs is worth closer examination, as is indeed happening, the idea of a decades-long, covert UFO-related recovery and reverse-engineering program seems highly unlikely to me. Disinformation seems rather less unlikely, but on such a scale?

#cosmic_Watergate #OVNI #PAN #Ovnis #PANs #USA
Une crise institutionnelle se déroule sous nos yeux aux USA. Les membres du congrès réalisent que le Pentagone, et donc peut-être le Gouvernement et POTUS dissimulent peut-être (très certainement) des programmes de recherche et d’étude sur les OVNIS. Jusqu’à présent les gens qui affirmaient de telles choses étaient peu crédibles et s’exprimaient auprès d’un public convaincu mais le 26 juillet ce sont 3 officiers militaires et membre des services de renseignements qui se sont exprimés sous serment devant le congrès pour dire la même chose. Aux USA, le fait de mentir sous serment est un crime. L’auteur d’un parjure s’expose à une condamnation allant jusqu’à sept ans de prison.
On imagine mal 3 militaires de carrière mettre en jeu sept ans de leur vie juste pour rigoler un bon coup et se faire un peu de notoriété dans un milieu d’ufologues complotistes.
Le sujet principal n’est pourtant pas le phénomène OVNI, le sujet principal n’est pas non plus l’existence ou non d’une forme intelligente de vie extraterrestre qui nous rendrait visite. Non, le sujet principal c’est la sécurité du territoire américain, le niveau d’autonomie du Pentagone et de sa transparence auprès des membres du congrès (et donc du peuple). L’épisode du ballon espion chinois et des deux autres"OVNIs" abattus les semaines suivantes est encore dans toutes les mémoires : Les missiles qui valent des centaines de milliers de dollars contre des ballons de fête d’anniversaire ou des ballons espions, le déni et le dénigrement public des affirmations des ufologues tout en menant un programme secret de récupération et d’étude de ces engins et de leurs occupants. Est-ce que tout ce petit monde qui gouverne les USA est bien sérieux ?
Bref, la grande question est qui ment et pourquoi ? Est-ce la révélation d’une grande dissimulation du pentagone ou bien est-ce une manipulation des services de renseignement destinée à déstabiliser les institutions américaines. Les deux hypothèses sont crédibles, je ne sais pas laquelle est la moins pire.

The UFO congressional hearing was ’insulting’ to US employees, a top Pentagon official says - ABC News
▻https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/ufo-congressional-hearing-insulting-us-employees-top-pentagon-101795689A top Pentagon official has attacked this week’s widely watched congressional hearing on UFOs, calling the claims “insulting” to employees who are investigating sightings and accusing a key witness of not cooperating with the official U.S. government investigation.
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick’s letter, published on his personal LinkedIn page and circulated Friday across social media, criticizes much of the testimony from a retired Air Force intelligence officer that energized believers in extraterrestrial life and produced headlines around the world.
Retired Air Force Maj. David Grusch testified Wednesday that the U.S. has concealed what he called a “multi-decade” program to collect and reverse-engineer “UAPs,” or unidentified aerial phenomena, the official government term for UFOs.
Part of what the U.S. has recovered, Grusch testified, were non-human “biologics," which he said he had not seen but had learned about from “people with direct knowledge of the program."
A career intelligence officer, Kirkpatrick was named a year ago to lead the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, which was intended to centralize investigations into UAPs. The Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies have been pushed by Congress in recent years to better investigate reports of devices flying at unusual speeds or trajectories as a national security concern.
Kirkpatrick wrote the letter Thursday and the Defense Department confirmed Friday that he posted it in a personal capacity. Kirkpatrick declined to comment on the letter Friday.
He writes in part, “I cannot let yesterday’s hearing pass without sharing how insulting it was to the officers of the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community who chose to join AARO, many with not unreasonable anxieties about the career risks this would entail.”
“They are truth-seekers, as am I,” Kirkpatrick said. “But you certainly would not get that impression from yesterday’s hearing.”
In a separate statement, Pentagon spokeswoman Sue Gough denied other allegations made by Grusch before a House Oversight subcommittee.
The Pentagon “has no information that any individual has been harmed or killed as a result of providing information” about UFO objects, Gough said. Nor has the Pentagon discovered “any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”
Kirkpatrick wrote, “AARO has yet to find any credible evidence to support the allegations of any reverse engineering program for non-human technology.”
He had briefed reporters in December that the Pentagon was investigating “several hundreds” of new reports following a push to have pilots and others come forward with any sightings.
Kirkpatrick wrote in his letter that allegations of “retaliation, to include physical assault and hints of murder, are extraordinarily serious, which is why law enforcement is a critical member of the AARO team, specifically to address and take swift action should anyone come forward with such claims."
“Yet, contrary to assertions made in the hearing, the central source of those allegations has refused to speak with AARO,” Kirkpatrick said. He did not explicitly name Grusch, who alleged he faced retaliation and declined to answer when a congressman asked him if anyone had been murdered to hide information about UFOs.
Messages left at a phone number and email address for Grusch were not returned Friday.

Nikki Haley slams foreign lobbyists while accepting funds from them - ABC News
▻https://abcnews.go.com/US/nikki-haley-slams-foreign-lobbyists-fundraising/story?id=99704708One of Haley’s top fundraisers, Oswaldo Palomo, the managing director of Connecticut-based consulting firm Chartwell Strategy Group, is himself a registered foreign agent.
[…]
According to FARA registration records, Palomo represents a number of foreign entities, including the government of Georgia in Eastern Europe, which he had worked for at least since 2018, and the Social Democratic Party of Romania, one of his more recent clients. Each of those clients pays him between $35,000 and $40,000 each month, and he has reported making contacts with hundreds of U.S. lawmakers in the course of his #lobbying, FARA filings show.
Palomo also represents the Israeli cyberintelligence firm #NSO Group, and the partially state-owned Chinese information technology company iFLYTEK, and has previously also worked for the government of Kosovo.
Palomo’s work has brought him hundreds of thousands of dollars from each of his foreign clients over the last six months, according to filings.

Biden, German chancellor present united front amid tensions with Russia over Ukraine

▻https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-meet-german-chancellor-urge-united-front-amid/story?id=82712888After both leaders appeared to avoid mentioning the pipeline, under repeated questions from reporters at an afternoon press conference, Biden, standing next to the German chancellor said Nord Stream 2 would not move forward if Russia invades Ukraine, in a warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin of potential economic consequences.
“If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the — the border of Ukraine again, then there will be — there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2,” Biden said during the press conference with Scholz, who did not go as far as Biden, but insisted the U.S. and Germany remain “absolutely united.”
Pressed on how he can commit to that given that Nord Stream 2 is under German control, Biden doubled down, saying, “We will — I promise you — we will be able to do it.”
Scholz, in turn, expressed unity with the U.S. and said that Germany was preparing sanctions in case Putin decides to invade.
“As I already said, we are acting together,” Scholz said at the press conference. “We are absolutely united and we will not take different steps. We will do the same steps and they will be very, very hard to Russia, and they should understand.”

Nearly 1 in 5 American adults who had COVID still have long-haul symptoms, data shows - ABC News
▻https://abcnews.go.com/Health/american-adults-covid-long-haul-symptoms-data-shows/story?id=85569861Nearly 1 in 5 American adults who have had COVID-19 are still suffering from long-haul symptoms, according to new data collected by the Census Bureau and Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics.
The data, collected from June 1 to June 13, 2022, showed that more than 40% of adults in the United States reported having been infected with COVID-19 in the past, with 19% reporting that they are currently still experiencing symptoms of “long COVID.”
Overall, approximately 1 in 13 adults in the U.S. — or 7.5% — have long COVID-19 symptoms, which the groups define as symptoms that were not experienced by individuals prior to their COVID-19 infection, and these symptoms have lasted three or more months after first contracting the virus.
Et comme il y a une forte inégalité entre hommes et femmes, on a presque 10% des femmes adultes américaines qui souffrent de Covid long (important : c’est 10% de toutes les femmes, pas seulement celles qui ont eu le Covid).
Et dans certains États, les chiffres sont totalement dingues :
Kentucky (12.7%), Alabama (12.1%), Tennessee and South Dakota (11.6%) were found to have the highest percentage of adults who currently have long COVID-19 symptoms.
Mais n’est-ce pas, « on n’est jamais à l’abri d’une bonne surprise ».
-
Les résultats du CDC sont accessibles ici :
▻https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/covid19/pulse/long-covid.htmOù l’on voit que 14% des américains ont déjà souffert de Covid long (y compris dans le passé), que ça grimpe à 18% des 18-30 ans.
On trouve aussi que 35% des adultes qui ont eu le Covid ont souffert d’un Covid long.
Que 19% des adultes qui ont eu le Covid souffrent actuellement de Covid long.
Et donc que 7,5% de tous les adultes américains souffrent actuellement de Covid long.
-
On est tout de même sur des chiffres faramineux. Je ne comprends pas comment on parvient encore à entretenir ce déni total sur la gravité de cette maladie. Je vois bien que c’est comme pour le climat, mais là on est sur un événement de santé public aux effets massifs, ressentis « physiquement » par une part énorme de la population, en l’espace de quelques mois seulement.
Le côté « bwa maintenant c’est endémique ça va faire comme un rhume saisonnier », alors que 20% des gens qui ont eu le Covid déclarent continuer à en souffrir 3 mois plus tard, franchement je pige pas. Le validisme et l’eugénisme, comme ça arrive encore à tenir avec des chiffres pareils ?
Je me souviens que @biggrizzly faisait remarquer à un moment que la plupart des gens ne connaissaient pas personnellement quelqu’un mort du Covid, que même les médecins, finalement, voyaient un nombre limité de morts, d’où la possibilité de ce déni collectif. Mais cette année, j’ai tout de même l’impression qu’on connaît tous quelqu’un qui en a chié pendant des semaines/mois, sans en mourir certes, parfois sans séquelles visibles, mais qui en ont tout de même chié grave pendant des mois. Ou ces gamins autour de nous qui ont tendance à tomber malades à répétition depuis février/mars (mais c’est jamais le Covid), genre ils chopent tout ce qui passe (c’est pas le Covid), ils ratent l’école plusieurs jours de suite tous les mois (mais c’est jamais le Covid)…
Là on a en gros 20% des américains qui ont fait un Covid pendant la grande vague de mild epidemic du début d’année qui déclarent souffrir depuis plus de 3 mois. Au niveau de la société, ce n’est pas censé passer inaperçu, non ?

Study shows COVID-19 case rates in schools higher than previously believed - ABC News

https://s.abcnews.com/images/Health/omaha-schools-01-ap-iwb-210420_1618948610869_hpMain_16x9_992.jpg A Nebraska study on asymptomatic COVID-19 cases in schools has found that infection rates may be higher than previously believed.
OPS PROTECTS, an Omaha Public School district program in a partnership with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, found that infection rates in schools involved in the first phase of the pilot program were two-and-a-half times higher for staff and nearly six times higher for students than what was being reported through routine self-initiated tests and reporting.
The program also found nearly 10 times the cases per population than what was observed through testing in the surrounding county. The study didn’t review if the cases originated in the school, just that teachers and students were coming to school with COVID-19 that was not previously identified because of limited testing outside of the school environment.
The results show “as many as nine in 10 student COVID-19 cases and seven in 10 staff cases might be missed by conventional reporting,” Dr. Jana Broadhurst, a corresponding author in the study and an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Department of Pathology and Microbiology, said.

Trump: Pentagon leaders want war to keep contractors ’happy’ - ABC News
▻https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/trump-pentagon-leaders-war-contractors-happy-72870085President Donald Trump says Pentagon leaders want to keep waging wars in order to keep defense contractors “happy.”
President Donald Trump said Monday that top Defense Department leaders want to keep waging wars in order to keep defense contractors “happy.”
Trump continues to fight allegations that he made offensive comments about fallen U.S. service-members, including calling World War I dead at an American military cemetery in France “losers” and “suckers” in 2018. The Atlantic first reported on the anonymously sourced allegations.
At a White House news conference Monday, Trump repeated his claim that the story was a “hoax” and said: “_I’m not saying the military’s in love with me. The soldiers are.”
However, he added, “The top people in the Pentagon probably aren’t because they want to do nothing but fight wars so all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy.”
