Seeing war through the lens of Putin’s narcissism — ‘Torture was not just cruel, it was inhuman’ — Ukrainian soldier dies weeks after release from Russian captivity — Ukraine sanctions 5 Chinese firms for supplying components used in Russian drones — Russia’s Black Sea Fleet shrinks presence in key Crimean bay — Russia’s crude exports fall to lowest level since February … and more

@bert_hubert the sheer absurdity of this case shows how #CloudAct and the #cyberfacism the #USA has ready to roll can be weaponized.

The problem is well known for years! and the fact that #GAFAMs ain't banned & sanctioned by the #EU for conducting illegal #espionage is a sign of #weakness!

The Missing Branch. In era of intense #constitutional combat, #Congress is nowhere to B found. Free theatlantic.com/politics/archi Congress not doing its job & vacuum that its dereliction has created is encouraging #presidential, #judicial overreach. Congress’s #weakness is our deepest #constitutional problem, because it is not a function of one man’s whims won’t pass with one administration’s term.It is hard to imagine any meaningful constitutional renewal in America unless they do.

"A downturn reveals who was merely surviving and who was preparing to thrive" - Futurist Jim Carroll

What happens when you don’t do the things you should be doing when times are good? Those things you didn't do stick out like a sore thumb when times are bad!

Let’s be blunt: recessions expose the cracks that were already there.
And if we’ve spent the last 19 posts building a blueprint for resilience, innovation, momentum, and opportunity — it’s time to talk about the other side of the coin. How recessions make things go wrong, fast, for those who haven't done a great job of aligning to a changing world.

Because not everyone makes it through.

Some organizations stall out. Others collapse entirely. And the reason isn’t usually a lack of potential. It’s paralysis. A lack of organizational agility. A culture that doesn't support fast collaboration. Weakness in the product or service line. Or any other number of systemic, endemic failures that would have been leading the organization towards failure even during the best of times.

In the worst of times, all those weaknesses now becoming glaring, exposed to the harsh light of reality.

Downturns don’t just challenge your organization - they reveal it. They surface complacency. They magnify weak leadership. They stretch brittle cultures. They spotlight outdated assumptions and aging strategies. And most dangerously? They reward indecision with irrelevance!

A recession isn’t a reason to shrink.

It’s a reason to rethink.

And if you want to be ready for what comes next — you’ve got to move while others pause.

A quotation from Emerson

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances — it was somebody’s name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1860), “Worship,” The Conduct of Life, ch. 6
