"The problem with oppressing a population with maximum force is that at some point they start figuring they’ve got nothing to lose by fighting back."
"This is just Palestinians doing what they feel they need to do out of total desperation, because they feel backed into a corner with no other options. And they feel backed into a corner with no other options because that does appear to be the case."
"The coming days are going to be full of western news media slyly reversing the aggressor-defender relationship and reporting as though all the violence began with the Hamas offensive, spontaneously out of nowhere."
They concern trolled about terrorism, then armed Al Qaeda in Libya and Syria.
They concern trolled about neo-Nazis, then armed them in Ukraine.
They threw Uyghur separatists into Guantanamo, then concern trolled about the Uyghurs.
The empire has no principles, only interests.

The Israeli government calculated the bare minimum calories Palestinians in Gaza need to survive in order to determine how many trucks of food to let through "to put the Palestinians on a diet", then decided to allow significantly less food than that.

Eisenhower and the Dulles brothers got us in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood, out of which ultimately Hamas was born. CIA funded radical right-wing Muslims to hold back Communism. That's also why we got in bed with the fascists. Any horror was supported, so long as it was fighting communism.

Israel Defense Minister: "I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly."

Only Israel can bomb 4 different countries in the course of 48 hours, namely Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt, and still be portrayed as the victim in Western media.
Step 1: Abuse and kill Muslims
Step 2: Wait for Muslims to respond to those abuses with violence
Step 3: Cite that violence as justification for more killing and abuse to fight "radical Islamic terrorism".
Works for the US empire's bogus "war on terror", and it works for Israel.
The only reason people think Muslims are violent is because they are often born on top of oil. That's the only reason for the US empire's butchery in the middle east and its support for the ongoing military operation known as Israel, which is all Muslims there are ever resisting.
Stop calling it the “Israel-Hamas war”. It’s the Israel-Gaza MASSACRE.
The mass media asked you to believe the Hamas attack was “unprovoked”. Then they asked you to believe blatant babies-on-bayonets atrocity propaganda.
"The "human shields" argument is like if London had responded to an IRA attack by dropping thousands of bombs on Belfast, killing thousands of Irish civilians and hundreds of children, and justifying its bombing campaign by calling it an unfortunate but necessary measure to take out the IRA's Belfast Brigade because they're located in the same places as civilians. It's like if the western political/media class defended and supported the carpet bombing of Belfast, saying "All those thousands of deaths are the fault of the IRA, because they're in Belfast where the civilians are. England has a right to defend itself, after all." It's like if Belfast was walled in with nowhere for civilians to escape to, and London carpet bombed it targeting schools, churches and hospitals, and the western press framed this relentless assault on civilian buildings as "the UK-IRA war" in which London is exclusively bombing "IRA targets in Belfast". It's like if the British spent a week dropping military explosives on locations it knew were packed with Irish children, and anyone who criticized this was accused of anti-Britishism and blood libel. And to be clear this is not something I'd put past the British actually doing during the Troubles... if the Irish were Muslim and their skin was a little darker." Caitlin Johnstone
Hamas is responsible for Hamas’ decisions,
Israel is responsible for Israel’s decisions.
Hamas is responsible for the Hamas attack,
Israel is responsible for provoking that attack via apartheid abuses and for bombing civilians in retaliation for it.
It’s not actually complicated.
According to the logic of collective punishment we're seeing circulated with regard to Gazans and Hamas, all American civilians deserve to die horribly because they permit themselves to be ruled by a regime which is orders of magnitude more violent and destructive than Hamas.
Israel has already dropped more bombs on Gaza in 6 days than the U.S. dropped on Afghanistan in 1 year. Now, Israel is ordering over 1 million civilians to flee their homes.
So nobody understands how Israeli intelligence failed to detect preparations for the Hamas attack, https://www.huffpost.com/entry/egypt-warned-israel-before-attack-michael-mccaul_n_652801b1e4b09f4b8d436332, Hamas itself was surprised by the success of the attack, and now the attack is being used to justify flattening Gaza? Okay.
Being against the Israeli regime or Zionism does not make you anti-Semitic. Zionism is not Judaism. The state of Israel is not the state of the Jews. Do not be afraid, being against them does not make you an enemy of the Jews.

They're dropping bombs on a concentration camp full of children. THEY'RE DROPPING BOMBS ON A CONCENTRATION CAMP FULL OF CHILDREN.
They bombed the same refugee camp. Again. This is what happens when Western powers back Israel no matter how many civilians they murder.

A nation whose existence requires the mass murder of children every few years is not a nation that should continue to exist.
WE are the terrorists.
WE inflict violence and fear on civilian populations to advance political agendas.
WE murder babies.
WE massacre women and children.
The word “terrorism” has no meaning unless you apply it first and foremost to this murderous western civilization.
Future generations will censure us for letting this happen. The death count has surpassed 10 thousand, mostly children and women. There is not even enough water to wash the wounds of survivors, let alone food, drugs etc. How can anyone sleep at night?
It's shocking how little coverage this is getting:
After the Oct. 7 attack, Hamas offered to free children, women & elderly hostages in exchange for 5 day ceasefire
Israel said no and invaded Gaza instead
Those hostages are now trapped under the bombs

Nasrallah remains one of the shrewdest political figures in the region. What he's saying here is a statement of fact.
Israel doesn't control the US, the US controls Israel.
Before that, the UK controlled Israel.
Israel is a colony serving western geostrategic interests.
Top ten most popular arguments used to defend Israel's actions in Gaza:
1. You hate Jews!
2. You love terrorists!
3. But October 7!
4. Hamas would cut your head off you stupid leftist
5. It's kind of good to kill Muslims actually
6. THEY DECAPITATED BABIES
7. THEY COOKED A BABY
8. Israel is killing babies in self-defense
9. It's actually very complicated, both sides are bad, objective morality does not exist, all things are exactly the same as all other things, the universe is made of lukewarm gray mush
10. Hahaha nuke the Arab vermin
So Israel, which would never bomb a hospital, has bombed another hospital.
Regarding antisemitism — the Arabs are also semites.
Israel has usurpated even this notion.

“So the US and the UK just bombed the poorest country in the middle east for trying to stop a genocide. Not only that, they bombed the very same country in which they just spent years backing Saudi Arabia’s genocidal atrocities which killed hundreds of thousands of people…”
Yemenis havent killed a single American, have rather been killed in the 100s of thousands by a US coalition using US arms. And yet for standing up to US & Isr genocide they get attacked. & US fascists coming out of woodwork to cheer more killing.
Yemen has killed no one. They have affected Israel’s bottom line in support of Gaza. But two countries, whose land does not touch the Red Sea, are bombing Yemen to protect Israel’s ability to free trade.
Get ready for the western press to greatly increase its use of the phrase "Iranian-backed Houthis" while still never using the phrase "US-backed Israelis".
If you want any clearer proof that the Australian Government has given up independence, look at the fact that it was the US President, not the Australian PM, who announced that Australia is involved in bombing Yemen.
Israel bombed its own people bc of the Hannibal directive and it’s sooo obvious given Hamas doesn’t have the weapons to inflict this much physical damage.
Yet the US corporate media continues to not only omit the obvious, they are blaming Hamas to justify an ongoing genocide.
Yeah yeah. The hospitals are Hamas, the ambulances are Hamas, the UN buildings are Hamas, South Africa is Hamas. Everyone we don't like is Hamas.
And all for what? To protect Israel’s ability to conduct a months-long massacre of Palestinians in Gaza. This is what the US empire is. This is what it has always been about. These people are showing us exactly who they are.
Top Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth confirms Israel used the "Hannibal directive" on Oct 7th, which calls to kill Israeli hostages along with their captors. This is the exact quote from the paper: "At midnight on October 7, the IDF ordered all of its combat units in practice to use the 'Hannibal Directive', although without clearly mentioning this explicit name. The order was to stop 'at all costs' any attempt by Hamas terrorists to return to Gaza, that is despite the fear that some of them have hostages. It is estimated that about a thousand terrorists and infiltrators were killed in the area between the Otaf settlements and the Gaza Strip. It is not clear at this time how many of the hostages were killed due to the activation of this command. In the week after the attack, soldiers of elite units checked about 70 vehicles that were left in the area between the Otaf settlements and the Gaza Strip. These are vehicles that did not reach Gaza, because on the way they were shot by a combat helicopter, an anti-tank missile or a tank, and at least in some cases everyone in the vehicle was killed."

This is shocking. Germany says South Africa’s case against Israel “has no basis whatsoever” and intends to “intervene as a third party”.
What obscene, insulting argumentation we have seen today, both "we suffered the holocaust, so we can't carry out genocide ourselves" and "we did the holocaust, so we decide what's genocide and what isn't". Two sides of the same fascist, genocidal coin.
Lots of people are portraying Germany's actions as being motivated by 'guilt' for its Nazi past as though there was a clean break between Nazi Germany and West, later Unified, Germany, when in fact the opposite is true & there was never a meaningful de-nazification process.
After WWII, the US recruited Nazi officers & spies with anti-USSR knowledge in the so-called Gehlen Organization. This group went on to play a key role in creating W. Germany's external intel. service which in turn became part of the NATO security network.
One of the CIA officers who served under Critchfield remembers him as a sturdy, handsome, and outgoing man, who radiated a kind of ruthless charm but would not brook fools or insubordination. His intelligence contemporaries still remember him, not so much for his help to Saddam Hussein and the Ba'ath as for his earlier work in CIA liaison with what came to be known as the Gehlen Organization after World War Il. This was a group of Third Reich military and intelligence personnel, commanded by Rheinhard Gehlen, one of the stars of Hitler's intelligence network working against the Soviet Union, who was especially -
adept at recruiting agents and in deception tactics. In post-war Germany, the U.S. Army recruited Gehlen personnel for Cold War operations because of their expertise in the affairs of Stalin's USSR. Although the organization soon revealed itself to be shot through with “fabricators, double agents and war criminals,” as Critchfield's obituary puts it, it played an important role in founding West Germany's external intelligence service, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), which became part of the NATO security nerwork.
A CIA operative under cover as Time magazine's correspondent in Beirut assisted in supplying lists of Iraqi Communists to the Baathists in the coup of 1963. Over 1,000 of them were subsequently executed.
Turns out “Israel has a right to defend itself” actually meant “Israel has a right to commit genocide, and no other countries have a right to stop it.”
The US IS extending the war in West Asia, instead of ending it. All for allowing Israel to continue its genocide of Palestinians.
The US is bombing the international airport of Sanaa in Yemen. Israel bombs the international airports of Aleppo and Damascus in Syria. If Russia or Iran were to bomb an international airport the UNSC would be voting for a military intervention as we speak
Iran Launches Ballistic Missile Strikes in Iraq and Syria. The strikes in Iraq targeted an alleged Mossad base near the US consulate in Erbil, an area where Israel is known to have operatives.
When Yemen sets up a blockade to try and stop an active genocide, that’s terrorism, when the US imposes a blockade to secure its geostrategic interests that's rules-based international order.

Israel murdering hundreds of people within 24 hours of the International Court of Justice declaring they may be committing genocide and that they must stop killing civilians, with full UK and US support, is the latest confirmation that the Western bloc is the world’s primary evil.
Commemorating the Holocaust while cheerleading for the current holocaust is next-level dystopia.
It's been 24 hours since the ICJ ordered Israel to not kill or harm Palestinians and since then they have killed 174 innocent Palestinians.
GW Bush justifies invading Iraq with testimony by Ibn al-Shaykh Al-Libi, who was tortured into confession by CIA-trained Egyptian security services 2024: Biden justifies cutting UN aid to Gaza with testimony by Palestinian detainees tortured into confession by Israeli security services.
Israel Accuses The ICJ Of (You Guessed It) Antisemitism.
The International Court of Justice rejected Israel’s request to dismiss the genocide case brought against it by South Africa on Friday, ruling by a massive majority that the case shall proceed and instructing Israel to refrain from killing and harming Palestinians in the interim.
Many Palestine supporters have expressed dismay that the ICJ did not explicitly order a ceasefire, while many others (including South African officials) argue that the ruling is very positive and tantamount to a ceasefire order because it demands the end of harm to members of the protected group.
Imperial media are aggressively emphasising the absence of a ceasefire order in their headlines and many Israel apologists are framing that absence as a victory for their favorite ethnostate, but such performative chest-thumping is severely undercut by the way high-level Israeli officials are currently accusing the ICJ of antisemitism and saying Israel should ignore its rulings.
“The international court of justice went above and beyond when it granted South Africa’s antisemitic request to discuss the claim of genocide in Gaza, and now refuses to reject the petition outright,” complained Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant in response to the ruling.
“The decision of the antisemitic court in The Hague proves what was already known: This court does not seek justice, but rather the persecution of Jewish people,” said Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
Ben Gvir also tweeted “Hague Schmague” immediately after the ruling was issued, which will probably go down in history as the most Israeli tweet of all time.
Everyone’s arguing about whether or not the ICJ’s ruling is helpful, and I don’t know enough one way or the other to be sure either way, but from where things stand right now it does seem unlikely to me that managers of the Israeli war machine would be getting this freaked out and whipping out their tired old “antisemitism” song and dance if there wasn’t something of substance to it.
International lawyer Francis Boyle, who won provisional measures against Yugoslavia at the ICJ in 1993, said the following of the ruling:
“This is a massive, overwhelming legal victory for the Republic of South Africa against Israel on behalf of the Palestinians. The U.N. General Assembly now can suspend Israel from participation in its activities as it did for South Africa and Yugoslavia. It can admit Palestine as a full member. And — especially since the International Criminal Court has been a farce — it can establish a tribunal to prosecute the highest level officials of the Israeli government, both civilian and military.”
So take that for whatever that’s worth to you. In any case the butchery in Gaza still urgently needs to be ended, and only time will tell whether Friday’s development had any major effect on the outcome of this horror.
But man what I wouldn’t have given to be a fly on the wall at the meetings they were having at the US State Department on Friday. It’s days like this that remind you why empire managers switched from talking about “international law” to using the meaningless phrase “rules-based international order”.
Biden is preparing a weeks-long bombing campaign against Iranian targets, tempting the nightmare scenario of a full-blown war with Iran, despite the public acknowledgement that there's no actual evidence Iran was behind the attack Biden is responding to.

Pentagon to Troops: ‘Get Ready To Fight In Gaza!
Belgium is one of the Western countries that has refused to cut funding to UNRWA. So Israel just bombed the office of the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation in Gaza. This is a direct result of the impunity Washington has provided Israel.
Democrats Are Demented Genocidal War Sluts
President Biden is reportedly preparing to begin a new weeks-long bombing campaign in the middle east in retaliation for a drone attack which killed three US troops this past weekend. These strikes are expected to include Iranian targets, tempting the nightmare scenario of a full-blown war with Iran, despite the public acknowledgement that there’s no evidence Iran was behind the drone strike.
Antiwar’s Dave DeCamp explains:
“US officials told NBC News that the US is planning to launch a weeks-long bombing campaign in the Middle East in retaliation for the drone attack in northeast Jordan that killed three American soldiers.
“The officials said that the targets are expected to include Iranian targets outside of Iran, and the campaign will involve strikes and cyber operations. Other reports have said the US is considering targeting Iranians in Iraq and Syria or the Iranian navy.
“While the potential targets are not inside Iran, direct attacks on the Iranian military could provoke a full-blown war between the US and Iran. The US is considering taking this course of action even though the Pentagon admitted it has no evidence Iran was directly involved in the drone attack in Jordan.”
Iran threatened to “decisively respond” to any US attack, either upon the Islamic Republic itself or upon the nation’s “interests and nationals under any pretexts.”
So this looks to be yet another dramatic escalation in the middle east by the warmongering policies of the sitting US president, who has also been waging a new bombing campaign in Yemen and backing a genocide in Gaza of unbelievable savagery where starving Palestinians are now eating grass and drinking polluted water in a desperate attempt to survive. According to a memo obtained by The Intercept, US troops have been put on standby for possible involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza as well.
In the midst of all that murderousness the Twitter account from this bloodthirsty ghoul of a president is posting cutesey tweets at Elmo from Sesame Street about the importance of emotional wellbeing, which is about the most dystopian thing you can possibly imagine.
“Our friend Elmo is right: We have to be there for each other, offer our help to a neighbor in need, and above all else, ask for help when we need it,” Biden tweeted during an active US-backed genocide.
Longtime Democratic Party leader Nancy Pelosi has been behaving even more freakishly. The former House Speaker said this past Sunday that people advocating a ceasefire in Gaza are promoting “Mr. Putin’s message,” claiming on no basis whatsoever that some pro-Palestine demonstrations are backed by Russia and should be investigated by the FBI.
In a video posted the very next day by antiwar activist group Code Pink, Pelosi is seen admonishing protesters against Biden’s Gaza genocide to “Go back to China where your headquarters is.” Pelosi’s demented accusation is presumably a reference to a New York Times smear piece which used sleazy insinuations to falsely imply a connection between Code Pink and the Chinese government without ever actually showing one to exist, and not even that smear piece ever claimed that Code Pink had a headquarters in China.
The “progressive” wing of the Democratic Party isn’t much better, with political pop stars like Bernie Sanders flailing all over the place to avoid advocating a ceasefire and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying she fully supports Biden despite his actions in Gaza and adamantly refusing to say if the president is backing a genocide.
A Democratic president engaging in genocide during a re-election year is highlighting the depravity of this warmongering capitalist party more starkly than anything else I can remember. Democrats frame themselves as responsible humanitarians who stand in opposition to the reckless murderousness and fascism of the Republican Party’s worst impulses, yet here they are openly falling all over themselves to justify mass atrocities driven by the racist feeding frenzy of a tyrannical far-right regime.
In reality the Democratic Party exists to promote the interests of the murderous US empire just as much as the Republican Party does. They might sometimes promote imperial interests in different ways, in the same way the left jab and the right cross are used differently in boxing. But just as a boxer uses jabs and crosses together to score a knockout blow, the empire uses the Democratic and Republican parties in conjunction to keep the imperial war machine trudging forward over human bodies, year after year and administration after administration.

US foreign policy is essentially one big long war against disobedience. Bombing, regime changing, starving and destabilizing any population anywhere on earth who dares to insist on its own self-sovereignty instead of letting itself be absorbed into the folds of the global empire.
They call different parts of it the Israel-Hamas War, the Iraq War, the Vietnam War, but really it's all the same war. One long operation to brutalize the global population into obedience and submission, generation after generation.
Biden isn't technically lying when he says the US does not seek conflict in the middle east. The US seeks DOMINATION in the middle east, and would prefer to receive that domination willingly from submissive subjects. Only when middle easterners refuse to submit is there conflict.

The US Keeps Bombing People While Saying It Doesn’t Want To Fight
One of the weirdest things happening in the world today is the way US officials keep insisting that they are not at war with the groups they’re dropping bombs on in the middle east, and that they do not seek conflict with the people they are attacking.
Shortly after another massive round of attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen, Pentagon Press Secretary Pat Ryder told reporters on Monday that the US is not at war with the group.
“We don’t seek an escalation with the Houthis. We’re not at war with the Houthis. We’re not seeking to go to war with the Houthis,” Ryder said.
The day before, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told CNN’s State of the Union that “the United States also is not looking for a wider war in the middle east,” even as he refused to rule out direct attacks within Iran, and even as the US-backed war on Gaza has expanded to US bombing campaigns in Yemen, Syria and Iraq.
This is just days after President Biden released a statement saying “The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world” while the United States was in the process of dropping bombs on multiple middle eastern countries.
It’s just so surreal. It’s like someone running up to you and slinging punches at your face while screaming “I DO NOT WISH TO FIGHT! THIS IS NOT AN ASSAULT!” They wear a plastic smiling mask and pay lip service to peace while operating the single most aggressive and murderous power structure on this planet.
The empire has been doing this same freakish Nice Guy Axe Murderer schtick with Gaza. The Biden administration could force an end to Israel’s genocidal atrocities in the Gaza Strip at any time but are instead choosing to provide those atrocities with full unconditional support, and as they do this they’re simultaneously putting on a performance to suggest that they disapprove of Israel’s actions. The White House has expressed “concern” over the death and suffering of civilians in Gaza no fewer than twenty times as of this writing, yet has continued to back the Israeli onslaught without taking any concrete actions to make the death and suffering stop.
That’s what we’re seeing when Biden administration officials tell the press that Biden referred to Netanyahu as a “bad fucking guy”, or when Secretary of State Antony Blinken solemnly finger-wags at Israel saying the dehumanization of the October 7 attack “cannot be a license to dehumanize others.” They’re putting on a big show about opposing Israel’s crimes against humanity as though they are not enthusiastically facilitating those crimes. They’re acting like they’re a passive witness to the atrocities in Gaza when in reality they’re an active participant. They’re posing as the peacemaker while acting as the warmaker.
And now we learn that US military advisors have been deployed to Kinmen, a group of Taiwan-controlled islands so close to the Chinese mainland that in the late sixties giant loudspeakers were built there to blast anti-communist propaganda over the water into the PRC.
Contrast this move with a recent headline from The Times saying “China opens Antarctic base on America’s doorstep,” which will show up as self-evidently nonsensical to anyone who has ever looked at a globe. It’s taken as a given that the US is entitled to amass a military presence right on China’s coastline, but the idea of China establishing a presence literally anywhere on planet Earth is interpreted as extreme aggressions on “America’s doorstep”.
It’s almost a cliché at this point to say imagine if China did this to the US, but seriously. Imagine if China did this to the US. As one Twitter follower put it, at just three kilometers away the Kinmen islands are closer to mainland China than Martha’s Vineyard is to the coast of Massachusetts. If China came anywhere near amassing any kind of military presence that close to the United States, it would be considered an act of war and the US would attack immediately.
So the US is clearly the aggressor here. It has been rapidly surrounding China with war machinery in ways it would never permit itself to be surrounded by any rival nation, and doing so more and more aggressively by the day. But if at any point China decides that too many of its red lines have been crossed and it needs to act before it’s too late, the US will with absolute certainty have a melodramatic fit about China’s unprovoked attack on the poor innocent US military presence on its border.
That’s exactly what happened with Ukraine. The US was fully aware that it was acting in an extremely aggressive and provocative way on Russia’s western border and that it was playing very dangerous games sending weapons to Kyiv while expanding NATO and ramping up cold war aggressions, and so were many experts and analysts who spent years warning that the west’s actions would lead to war. Yet when Russia finally attacked, the entire western political-media class began bleating the word “unprovoked” in unison.
This is the kind of bizarre two-step you have to do if you want to be the global hegemon with all the violence and tyranny that necessarily comes with the job while also needing to present yourself as the nice guy. The US empire exists at an oddly contradictory point in history when our society no longer considers it acceptable to be a might-makes-right strongman dominator, and yet that’s precisely the sort of disposition you need to have when you’re an empire held together by endless military violence and the threat thereof.
So you get weird nonsense like US officials bombing the shit out of the middle east while proclaiming they have no interest in war, and engaging in extremely reckless aggressions against nuclear-armed rivals while pretending they’re just innocent witnesses to unprovoked aggressions if those nations respond.
Their information interests require them to be the good guy, but their strategic interests require them to be the bad guy. You can already tell without looking that straddling these contradictory positions will result in absurdity, and looking at today’s headlines confirms it.

Westerners who don’t appreciate the extreme dysfunctionality of western civilization are like someone in an abusive marriage who hasn’t yet recognized that there’s a problem, or someone who had a violent and chaotic childhood who still thinks their home life was basically normal.
All of us understand that there are problems with our society, and most of us understand that a lot of of those problems are severe. But few westerners really get just how bad it is. How pervasively diseased it is.
In reality, we are living in a profoundly sick dystopia that is built on a foundation of human corpses and fueled by an endless river of human blood. Our news media are propaganda services, our entertainment is brainwashing, and our mainstream culture is social engineering, all built to keep us turning the gears of a vast globe-dominating empire.
There’s a widespread assumption throughout the western world that while things might not be perfect our society is certainly much better than what people experience in a nation like China, smugly believing ourselves to be a free society full of free thinkers and free people in contrast with those unfortunate thought-controlled communist conformists. In fact western civilization is one giant thought-controlled conformity machine where people’s minds are shaped by mass-scale psychological manipulation far more effectively than anywhere else in the world, exactly because westerners don’t know this is happening and believe they are free.
Western minds don’t like to be told this, because it goes against everything they’ve been trained to believe about their nation, their society, and their world. Obviously we are much freer here than those poor saps to the east; here in the west we are free to choose between 197 flavors of frosted breakfast cereal and 20,000 different superhero movies. We are free to choose between voting for warmongering capitalist authoritarian Democrats or warmongering capitalist authoritarian Republicans. We are free to sell our labor at a fraction of the value it generates to any exploitative ecocidal employer of our choosing. We are free to think whatever thoughts we’ve been trained to think by our education systems, mass media, and Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation. We are free to speak our minds, which have been shaped and conditioned to serve the interests of the powerful and never to say anything that falls outside the Overton window of acceptable opinion.
Sure there are outliers in the margins, westerners who’ve slipped outside the matrix of thought control and have gained the ability to traffick in unauthorized opinions — if you’re reading this you’re probably one of them. But our numbers are deliberately kept too small to have any political consequence, and if those numbers start getting too big for comfort we immediately see influence ops to sow division and confusion and herd people back toward the mainstream flock. Sure we in our small numbers are free to voice unauthorized opinions on marginal platforms where we can’t have much impact — we’re free to dig a hole in the ground and whisper whatever we want into it, too.
The single biggest obstacle to our freedom in the west is our widespread belief that we are free. Until we collectively realize we’re human livestock being continually herded into our respective gear-turning stations to keep the imperial juggernaut trudging ever forward on the world stage, we’ve got no chance to break free and bring the whole abusive system crashing down.
Until this is seen we’re like the wife who thinks it’s perfectly normal that her husband controls all her finances and dictates every aspect of her life, and who’d be shocked and angered if anyone tried to tell her that this is what an abusive relationship looks like. We’re like the man who insists he had a happy childhood despite remembering a lot of body trauma and screams.
The truth is all around us — we’re marinating in it 24/7/365. But we can’t see it, because it’s all we’ve ever known. We’ve been conditioned to think that this murderous ecocidal mind-controlled dystopia is normal, and we can’t imagine it being any other way. The prospect of ending it can actually feel scary and intimidating, just as it can for someone who’s thinking about fleeing an abusive relationship.
But real freedom is just on the other side of that fear. All we’ve got to do is become sufficiently conscious of what’s really going on here.

This is the dystopia we were warned about. The main difference between this mind-controlled dystopia and the fictional dystopias in novels like 1984 is that in 1984 people knew they weren't living in a free society, whereas in this dystopia the people believe they are free.
In Orwell's dystopia people knew they weren't free and had to use doublethink to stay out of trouble with their rulers. In this dystopia people have no idea how pervasively they're being dominated by their rulers; they think they came up with their ideas, worldview and political positions on their own, when in reality those belief systems were constructed inside their skulls by a profoundly sophisticated propaganda machine without their even knowing it.
All mainstream and semi-mainstream political factions are owned and operated by the powerful, and propaganda is used to get the public subscribing to them to advance the interests of the powerful. Because the overwhelming majority of us have been manipulated into espousing one of these power-serving belief systems (they give you multiple choices depending on your ideological disposition), the more overtly totalitarian measures described by dystopian novelists are unnecessary. You don't need to cage a bird that has been tricked into believing it can't fly.
But make no mistake: our society is no more free than those in the dark futures imagined by storytellers. If our minds are not free, then we are not free. If we're being successfully manipulated into thinking, speaking, acting, voting, working and consuming in accordance with the wishes of the powerful, then we're just as locked down as we would be if we had chains around our necks. Collectively we could not be any more aligned with the will of the powerful than we already are, even if our brains were replaced with computer chips.
There is no more need for dystopian fiction, because the dystopia has already arrived. It's here. In fact, dystopian fiction is actually destructive because it causes people to imagine that dystopia is a threat that exists somewhere off in the future instead of right here and now all around us.
We don't need dystopian fiction for the same reason we wouldn't need imaginary swords-and-sorcery fantasy novels if we we lived in a world of wizards and dragons. People living in dystopian societies do not need dystopian fiction, they need dystopian facts. Dystopian journalism. Dystopian documentaries. Dystopian polemics. We just need true information and reality-based ideas to counter the lies and manipulation we're inundated with from day to day.
We cannot be free until we have used the power of our numbers to shrug off the control of our dystopian overlords, and we'll never do that as long as a critical majority of us are unable to see how profoundly unfree we really are. There's no escaping the mind control matrix of imperial propaganda until you can see the lines of code it is made of.
Our most important task then, at this point in history, is to keep pointing out those lines of code for as many people as possible, in as many ways as we can think of. The one advantage to this type of dystopia is that our rulers need to maintain their nice-guy free society image in order to preserve the illusion that we are free, so they can't just come out and start imprisoning everyone who spotlights the myriad ways we are enslaved by lies and propaganda. They'll never grant us a major mainstream platform on which to do this, but we can operate within the margins, waking up one person at a time to the reality of what's going on.
So go around spreading the truth. Fighting the propaganda. Weakening public trust in the mass media and the political constructs it manufactures consent for. Highlighting the depravity and murderousness of the empire. Everything you do on this front makes a difference, and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. The propaganda machine is the linchpin of their power. It's what holds the empire together. Without the ability to manipulate the public at mass scale, our rulers cannot rule.
Once people are no longer buying into power-serving narratives, we will gain the ability to begin working toward the creation of a truth-based society that works for everyone. But this will never happen as long as we are being successfully manipulated into believing this model for human civilization is acceptable and serves our interests. The very first step is un-jacking our brains from the propaganda matrix.

Humanity doesn’t just need to escape from the mental prison of imperial indoctrination. It needs to escape from the heart prison as well.
I’m always talking here about the need to fight empire propaganda to help the public awaken to the fact that everything we’ve been trained to believe about the world is a lie, because that insight taking root in sufficient numbers would be the first step toward the revolutionary changes our world so desperately needs.
But large numbers of people opening their eyes to the reality of mass-scale psychological manipulation by the powerful would by itself be insufficient, because people need not only to see the truth — they also need to care.
Realizing the depravity and immense human suffering the US-centralized empire is responsible for creates an opportunity to respond to this insight with horror and begin resisting it — but it is only an opportunity. At that juncture it’s still possible for someone to realize that we’re not being told the truth about what’s happening in the world, but decide to play along with the lies anyway, either because the existing world order has made them wealthy, or because they are too indoctrinated with support for western power structures, or because they ideologically support Israel, or because they’re afraid of the changes and upheaval that would come with an overturning of the status quo, or because they are intellectually and morally lazy, or some other selfish reason.
Realizing that you’ve been indoctrinated into accepting a pernicious status quo unlocks an important door within yourself, but just because that door is opened doesn’t mean you have to walk through it. Walking through it requires another kind of awakening — an awakening of the heart.
Really no amount of knowledge or intellectual insight will ever set us free as a species in and of itself. You could upload the sum total of human knowledge into the brain of everyone on earth — including even government secrets that aren’t public knowledge — but unless this is accompanied by a collective opening of the heart, it wouldn’t make any difference. Unless people can find it within themselves to care deeply about the horrific things our rulers have been doing to our fellow human beings, no amount of knowledge about those things will catalyze real change.
And there are plenty of people who know but don’t care. The most powerful government agencies in the world are run by people who know terrible secrets about our ruling power structures that we ordinary members of the public are not allowed to know, but because their loyalty is to the empire and not to humanity, they don’t care about the moral implications of what they know or the human suffering the empire is responsible for.
So the demand of this moment in history is not just to understand, but to care. Not just to know what’s wrong with the world, but to feel it. Not just to awaken on the level of the head, but to awaken on the level of the heart as well. Not just to value our own personal understanding, but to value humanity as a whole.
Knowledge of the truth can lead to a profound compassion for the victims of the globe-spanning power structure which rules over us and a determination to oppose its cruelty — that’s why said power structure pours so much energy into keeping everyone propagandized. But it doesn’t necessarily need to lead to such compassion. The light of truth can stop its expansion at the gates of the heart, unless there’s some willingness from somewhere deep inside us to throw those gates open.
Ultimately humanity just needs to wake up, on every level. We need to liberate ourselves from the shackles of propaganda. We need to liberate ourselves from the shackles on our hearts. We need to liberate ourselves from the shackles of the ego. We need to liberate ourselves from the shackles of the dualistic perspective which obfuscates the oneness of all of reality from our vision.
That’s what’s being asked of us at this juncture. To wake all the way up and become a conscious species. That’s the only way we’ll ever be able to move about on this planet in a healthy and harmonious way.
And we’ll either rise to the occasion or we won’t. We’ll either wake up, or we’ll destroy ourselves. I believe we have the freedom as a species to go either way.

Foreign Affairs writes about the "hidden history" of diplomacy that could have ended the war.
It was not "hidden"! The media refused to report on verifiable facts & smeared anyone who discussed it as "Putinists" and "propagandists"
Why did the media fail to report on the following:
- On the first day after Russia invaded, Zelensky confirmed that Moscow contacted them to negotiate peace based on neutrality
- On the third day after the invasion, both Moscow and Kiev confirmed negotiations would start based on restoring Ukrainian neutrality.
- The US spokesperson, Ned Price, argued the US could not support the peace negotiations as this war was much greater than Ukraine
- The Israeli and Turkish mediators at the negotiations confirmed they were close to an agreement as Russia would compromise on everything besides neutrality / end of NATO expansionism, but the US and UK blocked it as they saw an opportunity to weaken Russia by fighting with Ukrainians
- The head of Zelensky's political party confirms there was a deal, and the former advisor of Zelensky also confirms there was a deal but the Americans could get the Russians and Ukrainians to fight each other.
- Ukrainian ambassador Chalyi who participated in the peace negotiations argues Putin "tried everything" to get a peace agreement and they were very close to a deal before it was postponed
- General Harald Kujat, former head of the German Army and Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, argues a deal reached before the US and UK sabotaged it by telling Zelensky they would not support the peace agreement but would give him all the weapons he needed to defeat Russia on the battlefield. According to Kujat, the US and UK saw an opportunity to kill Russians and thus weaken a strategic rival
This has been an amazing propaganda campaign, appealing to the best in humanity to do the worst. They provoked a war and sabotaged all paths to peace to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, and they sold it to the public as "supporting" and "helping" Ukraine. Almost every "pro-Ukrainian" policy since the coup in 2014 failed to have support from the majority of Ukrainians and always ended in tragedy for their nation.
- The only reason we are now allowed to speak about the negotiations is that NATO has run out of Ukrainians and the war is lost. The public must therefore be prepared for a settlement after two years of claiming that Ukraine is winning while refusing to even sit down and talk with Russia. Absolutely disgusting and shameful!
Ce nu spune nimeni în Occident din cauza propagandei amerloce: loviturile iraniene special gândite au atins cele mai mari două baze aeriene ale IDF, Ramon și Nevatim, situate în imediata apropiere a principalului centru nuclear al Israelului din Dimona. Aici, probabil, nu numai că au fost dezvoltate armele atomice ale țării, dar se află și principala lor unitate de depozitare.
Faptul că rachetele iraniene au lovit pistele cu o precizie uimitoare, și nu serviciile tehnice ale bazelor aeriene, a fost, de asemenea, făcut aparent intenționat. Făcând cratere din beton deosebit de puternic și gros, destinate, printre altele, să primească avioane cargo super-grele și bombardiere strategice din Statele Unite, iranienii au demonstrat că ar putea la fel de ușor să spargă apărarea reactorului Dimona și poate chiar plafoanele depozitelor nucleare.
Si asta e foarte bine, au aratat ca sunt în stare. Sunt curios daca Netanjahu a înteles mesajul.
Russia just issued a warning to Ukraine, the USA, France, and the UK:
“If NATO sends troops to Ukraine to defeat Russia, nukes will hit American decision-making centers and launch sites, France will be "disarmed in an instant", …”and I apologize to any Irish …the British Isles will go underwater" Dmitry Kiselyov
Asta e doar un raspuns "ca îi amenitam cu nukes", na fain, ceva mai bun nu le trece prin bila.

Remember kids, Israel has to bomb hospitals and starve Gaza and incinerate children and shoot people waving white flags and assassinate doctors and journalists and commit daily massacres of civilians, because if it doesn't do this the region will be dominated by evil terrorists.
It's important to understand that just because Ukraine has been shoved out of the spotlight doesn't mean brinkmanship with Russia is getting any less dangerous. As Ukraine loses more and more territory and runs out of soldiers, we're actually seeing a dramatic rise in reckless escalations from NATO powers. France is preparing to put boots on the ground in an official open deployment to train troops in Ukraine, and high-level empire managers like NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, US House Speaker Mike Johnson and UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron are aggressively pushing for NATO-supplied weapons to be used on Russian territory. All of these escalations push us closer to hot warfare between NATO and Russia. They're playing games with the lives of every organism on this planet over an unwinnable proxy war that they themselves provoked. The western empire must end.

"It didn't start on October 7th."
Not only did it not start on October 7th, but it also didn't start in 1967 nor in 1948. In reality, it's been more than 140 years of Zionists displacing Palestinians. One displacement after another.
JNF Names Committee, December 2, 1927:
The members of the committee discussed the appropriate name for the religious Jewish settlement that would later be called Kfar Hasidim, a settlement that was established on the lands of the nearby Arab-Palestinian village of Khirbat al-Majdal.
Akiva Ettinger, Director of the Lands Department at JNF at the time, opposed a proposal to use the word "Migdal" in the name of the settlement, and explained:
"The Arab village of Majdal is located, for now, outside of the JNF's lands. There is no doubt that a Jewish settlement will be established there, in place of the Arab village of Majdal, and we will need the name 'Migdal' for that settlement."
A few years later the JNF indeed managed to purchase the village area from the recent Zionist landowners. Those landowners themselves bought the lands from the Lebanese Sursock family, which took over vast territory in Palestine, including Majdal's lands, thanks to the 1858 Ottoman land reforms.
Thus, Khirbet al-Majdal was erased from the map and its residents were displaced.
The name of the place was changed to "Giv'at Shamir." The settlers of Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan first settled in the homes of Majdal's Palestinians, before establishing their permanent kibbutz nearby. Today the national center of the Scouts movement is located in Giv'at Shamir.
Meanwhile, al-Majdal's fellahin, together with their neighbors from the village of Kafr Ata, who shared a similar fate, stayed nearby and established the villages Khirbet Sa'sa', Khirbet al-Kasair, and Ras Ali. The former two were depopulated and destroyed two decades later, while the latter village managed to survive the 1948 Nakba but was only recognized by the State of Israel in 1979, and like all Palestinian villages and towns in Israel, faces systematic discrimination to this day.
The dispossession of Palestinians did not start in 1948, but with the beginning of Zionist settlement in Israel. The dispossession and depopulation were not coincidental but an essential part of the Zionist plan.

Remember, the West likes to send its State Sponsored terrorists out during Olympic Games, attempting to use the Games to shield potential eyes and audiences to prevent the public seeing what they are doing behind the curtain. Will the Paris Summer Olympic Games be any different?
The 4th of July is America's glorious patriotic celebration of its lateral transfer from monarchy to oligarchy.

Interesant si adevarat. Multumesc .
NATO + Americanii habar n-au cu cine au de-a face, desi din istorie ar sti despre Napoleon si Hitler.
Nu te pune cu Mama Rusia, cu Ursul rus si cu iarna siberica. Pierzi.

Russia Eliminated a Senior PENTAGON Officer... finally leaks out the details of the deep underground bunker destroyed by 3 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles filled with high level NATO and US Military Officials.
⚡️BREAKING: Iran says it is ready to supply oil and gas to all BRICS countries. Iran can provide oil and gas to BRICS countries to meet their energy needs, and in return, other member states can take steps to meet Iran's needs in various banking and trade exchange sectors.
NATO began discussing the possibility of nationalizing Chinese projects in Europe: When the NATO-Russia War broke out, Europe confiscated Chinese assets. So Europe really wants this war to happen.
Conflict between Russia and Ukraine on the morning of July 11: Russia quickly won, Ukrainian troops lost heavily, retreated from Kharkov. Russian forces rushed across the Volchya River, while the Ukrainian army's Pokrovsk (Avdiivka) line was collapsing.

Obviously planned to carry out during the Olympic Games, dual assassination attempts, one failed but that scuttled China's peace actions, put off Erdoghan and murdered a Hamas official in Iran's Tehran infuriating the Iranian Gov whose Supreme leader declares a bloody revenge strike is coming.
Of course Biden and his men in black propping him up are likely to have given the Green Light and ordered the US Naval warships up to the Lebanese Coastline for Americans to sacrifice their lives and borrowed debt to wage war on behalf of the warmongering Israelis.

The Iranian Supreme Leader was leading the funeral prayers today for the assassinated Hamas Official, apparently he was a Prime Minister of the State of Palestine, something nearly all Roths Social Media choses deliberate to ignore and not mention.
Seems rather ironic, the State of Palestine Prime Minister is seen and touted as a terrorist by Israel, the International Crime Court on the other hand issues an arrest warrant for War Crimes and serial human rights abuses against the Prime Minister of Israel, Nutanyahu
Al Jazeera Journalist and his camera man were targeted by the Israeli for death and killed by a rocket attack on the vehicle they were driving following a photo shoot of the Gaza HOme of the Hamas official the Mossad and IDF murdered in Tehran yesterday
President of Salvador: The dollar will fall, and Western civilization with it.
Greece has been religated IMO to a Israeli tourist island
and likely targeted as such when WW3 explodes
shame, I suspect many nations will wash their hands of the zionists afterwards
some already are
It seems the Mossad-CIA failed in their coup attempt to overthrow the Maduro Venezuelan Gov
social media is livid with CIA, Mossad, Hasbara, MI6 Sock Puppets all touting anti-Venezuela propaganda
Roths apparently wanted all those Venezuelan natural resources for free or next to free, with BRICS looming on the Venezuelan horizon as a member this October, the West is anxious to strike
however Maduro has weather the Guido CIA Puppet act in 2019 so he and the people of Venezuela are even more ready this time
JUST IN: 🇷🇺 Russia says a full-scale war is the only way for peace in the Middle East and blames the United States
"The knot is tightening in the Middle East. Sorry for the innocent lives lost. They are but hostages of a disgusting state: the USA.
well Western Banker Wars aka the Roths 1% Central Banks are allegedly behind funding and warmongering both sides of every war dating back hundreds of years
seems like the East would point some of their deadly ICBM's towards the Roths Castles, Brussels and NYC Central Banking hubs, the fiber optics lines of their SWIFT network and of course the Federal Reserve

"Americans are the most propagandized population on earth, successfully manipulated into thinking, speaking, laboring, spending, acting and voting exactly how the powerful want them to in a mind-controlled dystopia — all while believing themselves to be free."
The US knows Israel has nuclear weapons but simply pretends it does not know this.
The US knows it's Netanyahu sabotaging a peace deal but simply pretends Hamas is the real obstacle.
The US knows Israel is committing genocide but simply pretends that saying this is antisemitic.
The US knows Israel is deliberately targeting civilians but simply pretends to believe it is exclusively targeting Hamas.
The US knows Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza which make it illegal to send them weapons, but simply pretends it hasn't seen solid evidence of this.
The US knows Israel will never agree to a two-state solution but simply pretends to believe a two-state solution is right around the corner.
The US knows there can never be peace and stability in the middle east as long as Israel exists in the way that it exists, but simply refuses to acknowledge this self-evident fact.
US policy on Israel is to simply refuse to acknowledge self-evident realities which can be immediately observed with the naked eye. It's pretending to believe up is down, day is night, and a spade is a pineapple, while privately knowing that none of these things are the case. It maintains the status quo through narrative control, and it maintains narrative control through tenacious willful ignorance.

I really liked the display of multiple Nato anti-air batteries at several targets and they were all unable to shoot down a single Russian Kinzhal hypersonic cruise missile.
Shapeshifter, just keep calm and host yourself.

Israel just turned thousands of Lebanese people into involuntary suicide bombers in the name of fighting terrorism.
At least nine people have been killed and thousands injured in an attack in Lebanon which reportedly involved pagers packed with explosives being remotely detonated around the country, often in civilian areas. An eight year-old girl is reportedly among the dead.
According to The New York Times, unnamed officials from the US and elsewhere are saying that Israel planted the explosive materials in the pagers before they reached Lebanon after Hezbollah ordered them from a Taiwanese manufacturer.
The US is denying any foreknowledge of the attack, but that’s what they always do. We’re always asked to believe that the US never knew anything about attacks conducted by nations like Israel and Ukraine until they read about it in the news, and that their massive intelligence cartel and sprawling surveillance networks never pick up any information and exist for no reason.
This was a terror attack by any possible definition. If Hezbollah had detonated a bunch of devices held by Israeli forces in public spaces without knowing who was near them when they went off, every paper in the western world would have called it a terror attack. But because it was Israelis targeting Hezbollah (a political party which is part of the Lebanese government and has many civilian members), it’s only being called “explosions”.
“Hezbollah blames Israel after deadly pager explosions in Lebanon,” reads the headline from the BBC.
“Thousands injured in Lebanon as pagers used by Hezbollah explode,” says The Washington Post.
“Exploding pagers belonging to Hezbollah kill at least 8 and injure more than 2,700 in Lebanon,” says NBC News.
No condemnations from western officials. No thoughts and prayers for the victims. No pledges to bring the terrorists to justice. Just the news media going oh wow, some pagers exploded.
Got that, kids? It’s only terrorism when the Official Bad Guys do it. When the Official Good Guys do it, it’s just giving those Bad Guys a sorely needed exploding.
The unprecedented nature and scale of this attack has raised a lot of concerns from a lot of directions. We all use electronic devices in our daily lives, and weaponizing them at mass scale is naturally going to scare people.
“If it were iPhones that were leaving the factory with explosives inside, the media would be a hell of a lot faster to cotton on to what a horrific precedent has been set today. Nothing can justify this. It’s a crime. A crime. And everyone in the world is less safe for it,” tweeted NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
“What Israel has just done is, via *any* method, reckless. They blew up countless numbers of people who were driving (meaning cars out of control), shopping (your children are in the stroller standing behind him in the checkout line), et cetera. Indistinguishable from terrorism,” Snowden also said.
What strikes me watching all this is how gratuitously creepy it is. Israel is so creepy. Everyone already sees them as rapey genocidal baby killers, and then they have to go and commit this weird terror attack in the creepiest way possible and freak everyone out, to no clear and meaningful strategic gain. They’re so creepy they can’t stop themselves from always choosing the creepiest course of action.
Israel is gross.

Hai chiar, nu vrei sau ti-e lene sa le scrii pe româneste ?
Daca eu as trimite pe-aici asa mesaje pe germana, ar zice oamenii "Ce-i cu Cla, a înnebunit ?"
Asa ca, gândeste-te.
Bombing Gaza into the stone age then pausing to vaccinate the surviving children and then resuming bombing is the most demented sh*t I've ever seen.
