Il y a quelques jours, Wikip\u00e9dia<\/em>, qui poursuit une vaste campagne d’appel aux donations, avait choisi comme slogan que si chacun de ses lecteurs donnait 10, l’\u00e9norme site aurait rempli son contrat temporaire pour l’argent dont il a actuellement besoin. Nous avions alors observ\u00e9, par un rapide calcul, qu’il suffirait que tous les lecteurs quotidiens de dedefensa.org<\/em> (pour ce mois de novembre, entre 3.300 et 3.400 entr\u00e9es de plus de 3 minutes par jour), ramen\u00e9s au chiffre standard de 3.000\/jour, donnent chacun 12, pour que nous ayons notre s\u00e9curit\u00e9 mat\u00e9rielle assur\u00e9e pour une ann\u00e9e. Consid\u00e9rant les r\u00e9sultats actuels, pour ce mois de novembre, ajout\u00e9s au reste, nous sommes loin du compte. (Voyez, en t\u00eate de la page accueil, notre situation \u00e0 ce jour.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tAvons-nous des argument ? Bien entendu, nous n’en manquons pas. Parfois, y repensant, envisageant d’\u00e0 nouveau les pr\u00e9senter, nous sommes un peu saisis par l’\u00e9vidence de la d\u00e9marche et, par cons\u00e9quent, l’impression d’un peu trop nous r\u00e9p\u00e9ter en abusant de la patience de nos lecteurs. Comment s’en sortir ? Pour cette fois, nous avons trouv\u00e9 un voie d\u00e9tourn\u00e9e, qui est de simplement retenir l’argumentaire d’Antiwar.com<\/em> d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 par Justin Raimondo ce 28 novembre 2011<\/a>, pour la campagne de d’appel \u00e0 donation de ce site, qui s’y trouve lui aussi engag\u00e9. (L’argumentaire de Raimondo s’ajoute \u00e0 un texte d’analyse qui traite d’un tout autre sujet, la sorte de travail pour laquelle Antiwar.com<\/em> demande un soutien de ses lecteurs. Nous faisons de m\u00eame par rapport au texte de Raimondo ce 28 novembre 2011<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThe response to our matching funds pitch has been fairly good, so far, but in order to make our fundraising goal in this grim winter of 2011 we’ll need to step up the pace a bit well, actually, a bit more than a bit. When you look at the sheer scope of the Empire, and take into account all the various economic and political interests fighting to maintain and expand it, the task of dismantling it takes on truly Sisyphean dimensions. As Catherine Lutz points out in her New Statesman piece:<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe global reach of the US military today is unprecedented and unparalleled. Officially, more than 190,000 troops and 115,000 civilian employees are massed in approximately 900 military facilities in 46 countries and territories (the unofficial figure is far greater). The US military owns or rents 795,000 acres of land, with 26,000 buildings and structures, valued at $146bn (\u00a389bn). The bases bristle with an inventory of weapons whose worth is measured in the trillions and whose killing power could wipe out all life on earth several times over.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbAnd that’s not counting all the new bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, nor does it include secret facilities rumored to exist elsewhere. This vast network exists parallel to an extensive constellation of think tanks, lobbying groups, publicists, foreign agents, military contractors, and academics whose goal in life is to justify the Empire, and portray it as a benevolent necessity rather than an albatross hung around our necks.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbOn the other side of the barricades stands us. And that’s pretty much it. Oh sure, we have allies on both the left and the right. But there are very few who are working, day and night, on this issue to the exclusion of all else. That’s why the survival of Antiwar.com is so important and why failure is not an option as far as our winter fundraising campaign is concerned. So please, help us even the odds and give today, as much as you can afford because we just can’t do it without your help.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tCertes, vous pouvez donner \u00e0 Antiwar.com<\/em>, le site le m\u00e9rite amplement et il a de bonnes raisons pour cela, comme l’explique Justin. Mais vous pouvez vous int\u00e9resser \u00e9galement \u00e0 dedefensa.org<\/em>, qui n’a pas vraiment d\u00e9m\u00e9rit\u00e9 apr\u00e8s tout. Pour plus d’assurance \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, nous vous rappelons les proc\u00e9dures pour les donations<\/a>, et nous remercions avec une chaleur toujours reconnaissante ceux qui nous ont aid\u00e9s et ceux qui nous aideront.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 28 novembre 2011 \u00e0 12H19<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Il y a quelques jours, Wikip\u00e9dia, qui poursuit une vaste campagne d’appel aux donations, avait choisi comme slogan que si chacun de ses lecteurs donnait 10, l’\u00e9norme site aurait rempli son contrat temporaire pour l’argent dont il a actuellement besoin.
