System Skeptic Speaks publishes analysis on geopolitics, global politics and French politics. This page explains how we research, write and correct our work.<\/p>\n

What we publish<\/h2>\n

We separate verified facts, attributed claims and analysis. Opinion and interpretation are labelled as such. We aim to explain why an event matters, not simply repeat the latest headline.<\/p>\n

Sources and verification<\/h2>\n

We prioritise primary documents and institutional sources, including official statements, public datasets, court or parliamentary records and international organisations. We use reputable reporting for developments that are still unfolding. Important claims should be traceable to a source, and articles should state when information was last checked.<\/p>\n

Analysis versus fact<\/h2>\n

Forecasts, motives and causal explanations are analytical judgments, not established facts. Where evidence is incomplete or sources disagree, we say so and explain the limits of the available record.<\/p>\n

Updates and corrections<\/h2>\n

Articles may be updated when new evidence changes the picture. Material factual errors should be corrected clearly; significant updates should carry a new update date. Readers can report a possible error through the site contact form.<\/p>\n

Use of AI<\/h2>\n

Some content may be generated or assisted by AI. Automated workflows create drafts only. Before publication, factual claims, dates and links should be checked against the available sources; AI can make mistakes. Publication decisions and responsibility for the final published text remain with System Skeptic Speaks.<\/p>\n

Editorial independence<\/h2>\n

Sources are selected for relevance and evidentiary value, not to manufacture consensus. We welcome serious counterarguments and revise conclusions when the evidence warrants it.<\/p>\n
