US is the most propagandized country on earth 😭

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

So many of these frauds built platforms and made money by mocking the claims of bigotry, racism and discrimination from every minority group:

Except their own, which they insist is uniquely endangered, targeted with pervasive racism, and in need of protection by special laws.

[Danny Haiphong @GeopoliticsDH]

Joe Biden didn't pardon Leonard Peltier.

Or Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Or Omali Yeshitela.

Or the countless Black men he threw in prison.

He pardoned HUNTER BIDEN. His corrupt corporate spawn.

A fitting move for someone competing for the worst president in the history of US empire.

There are many things of note about the CJI's recent statement on the Ayodhya dispute.

1. He and the Ayodhya bench did not "find a solution" to the dispute. They found in favour of the powerful party that illegally demolished the mosque. 'Might is right' can hardly be called a solution.

2. The fact that the CJI thinks he delivered a divinely ordained solution to the dispute explains why he has helped reopen the Gyanvapi dispute (and countless other disputes as a result) and is a pointer to the kind of divinely-ordained solutions that will doubtless follow.

3. How could he have asked "the deity" to help find a solution to the dispute when the deity — through his 'next friend' — was a party to the original dispute? Is this not a conflict of interest?

4. The truth is that judges take recourse to this kind of 'divine' rationalising and grandstanding when they know a judgment they have delivered is legally unsound.

5. Judges take an oath to do justice by the laws laid down in the Constitution. They are free to believe in deities or holy books and follow their orders and signs in their personal lives. But when it comes to dispensing justice, no deity can be above the Constitution.

6. India already has a PM who directly communes with God and follows God's will. The country now has a CJI worthy of Modi's own non-biological stature.

7. We thank the CJI for removing the blindfold from not just Lady Justitia but all our eyes.

I'd like one more time to recommend the new documentary "Investigating War Crimes in Gaza."

Even if you love Israel, go watch what you're supporting.

Much is based on IDF's own videos, including their bizarre obsession with psycho-sexual humiliations and using lingerie.

[Ragıp Soylu @ragipsoylu]

Erdogan shares the below video to commemorate 7 October. Quite a production.

It is a future where Gaza Genocide is accepted world wide and memorised through museums and movies.

And children ask to their grandparents, “what were you doing during the genocide grandpa?”

[Dennis Kucinich @Dennis_Kucinich]

If I return to congress, I will introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary Blinken for lying to congress and the American people and for leading us into unnecessary wars which have resulted in the deaths of countless innocent people.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Our documentary shredding Israel's genocidal post-Oct 7 lies, Atrocity Inc., is now live

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

This was the status quo before October 7.

And you're surprised people resist?

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Only in the Middle East's "only democracy" can a debate take place over whether it is legitimate to "insert a stick in a person's rectum"

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

US billionaire oligarchs, the US State Department, and right-wing governments in Latin America are launching another coup attempt in Venezuela

There is ZERO proof of fraud. But they don't care. They want to overthrow elected President Maduro and reverse the Bolivarian Revolution

Corbyn has never published an article praising the Wehrmacht

Corbyn has never blacked up to mock a black footballer

David Baddiel has

Corbyn campaigns for Palestinian rights

None of the others do

Biden writes to Congress: "We had a Democratic nomination process and the voters have spoken clearly."

We did not...

-DNC held no debates/declared Biden the nominee
-Media blacked out challengers Marianne Williamson & RFK Jr.
-Several states cancelled their primaries

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

So here we have the Israeli Minister of National Security blatantly declaring “yes, we treat prisoners barbarically by design, and to solve prison overcrowding, we'll start mass executions.”

He's essentially shouting on social media, "We're turning our concentration camps into death camps, and we're damn proud of it."

The level of impunity is mind-blowing, and 100% thanks to American backing (together with some other Western states playing along).

The world needs to face reality: a terrifying ideology is slowly setting down on the West. Actions and ideology are always tied at the hip - you can't have one without the other. If you're doing something or supporting someone doing something, you need some rationalization to back it up.

And sadly I think it’s just getting started. until now we - in the West - had been told that everything about such actions was anathema to everything we stood for. And even though we very often - even routinely - acted in barbaric ways it was always hidden, unassumed and denied in order to keep ideology intact. This time is different, there’s nothing hidden, unassumed and denied about it: the Israelis are proudly revendicating their actions, as this tweet by Ben Gvir illustrates. Yet we still support them. Which invariably means that our ideology needs to evolve to rationalize this, and we’re seeing signs of this everywhere in the West: a disinhibition of a discourse that justifies this. Worse still, a discourse that virulently opposes condemning this, as it’s “antisemitic” to do so.

Here's the real danger: once this discourse becomes normal, even mainstream, it opens the floodgates. And you find yourself with a West that's lost its mind even far more than it already has, drunk on a deadly ideology that allows it to commit the worst atrocities with pride and confidence. It's not like we haven't been down this road before - this barbarism is in our DNA, whether we like it or not.

Which is why it's so important to call this stuff out, loudly and constantly. We can't let this become the new normal, we can’t become the worst version of ourselves. We can’t let the future become even darker than our past.

🚨Hamas accepts Biden's ceasefire proposal (again) moments after Netanyahu rejected the ceasefire proposal (again).

Waiting to see how Biden/Blinken would react; they spent weeks telling us the war would end as soon as Hamas accepts the deal.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

This is ethnic cleansing. From Gaza to the occupied West Bank, genocidal violence against Palestinians is allowed, permitted, and facilitated not only by the Israeli government, but by the United States.

[Abby Martin @AbbyMartin]

Western leaders have been lying about the possibility of a Palestinian state for 20 years

[Jose Vega — Vote Vega! @votevega26]

My friends and I confronted anti-China hawk and Richie Torres advisor Matt Pottinger at an Asia Society event. While Pottinger proposes dismantling China-U.S. relations and separating Taiwan from China (which will end up in WW3), I proposed instead that the U.S. and China are not enemies and should join hands in the Belt and Road Initiative to promote peace and economic development. For this, I was thrown to the ground and choked by security. It's no wonder Ritchie Torres is such an idiot when he's surrounded by Neo-con spooks who get paid to lie.

For some background on who Pottinger is:

Matt Pottinger has been a significant voice in the concerted effort to derail relations between the United States and China for the past 20 years. He began his career as a journalist in the late 1990s reporting for the Wall Street Journal on Chinese affairs. He then joined the U.S. Marine Corps, fighting three separate deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2007 and 2010. Eventually, he would serve the White House for four years on the National Security Council Staff, including as deputy national security adviser to President Trump from 2019 to 2021, leading the administration’s work as the Senior Director for Asia. In 2017, Pottinger had led a special delegation from the U.S. to the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing, where President Xi Jinping had proposed building a world of prosperity through the construction of massive infrastructure projects, defeating poverty, and mutual technological advancement. The Belt and Road Initiative has been integrated with the Eurasian Economic Union, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and ASEAN, and represents a new platform for economic development among the nations of the Global South in an emerging multipolar world which prioritizes mutual benefit and cooperation. Instead of proposing that the U.S. take the opportunity to join the Belt and Road, which President Xi has made clear is open to the West to join, Pottinger has been a consistent provocateur in rapturing U.S.-China relations. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed published on March 26, 2021, “Beijing Targets American Business,” Pottinger says that American businessmen must realize that the “ideological dimension of the competition” between China and the United States “is inescapable, even central.” Protecting U.S. hegemony and preventing China’s economic growth, “will require America and its allies to consider in every policy we adopt, every bill we introduce, and every partnership that government and industry undertake, whether it increases our collective leverage in this competition or surrenders leverage to a hostile dictatorship in Beijing.” It’s no wonder that Rep. Ritchie Torres is advised on China policy by Pottinger himself. Torres is a member of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, which Pottinger has briefed and advised on policy. Both Torres and Pottinger believe in “the end of history” as author Francis Fukuyama famously declared at the end of the Cold War. This meant, that the U.S. and its Transatlantic partners would dominate the world and create a unipolar world, in which any potential power that would rise and present an alternative to the “rules-based order” would need to be stopped at all costs. Out of this theory that has guided U.S. policy since the first Bush administration, we have produced endless interventionist wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Ukraine. Of course, Pottinger has expressed his willingness to extend that our adventurist military policy to Taiwan, to provoke a global war with China. Such a policy is not in the American people’s interest. The U.S. economy is now decimated from 50+ years of deindustrialization and idiotic “Green” policy that has eaten up our once productive industries. China has taken the opposite path and is proposing to extend their prosperity to other nations in Africa, South America, and Asia. Instead of creating more wars to defend our hopeless imperial endeavors, we should return to our forgotten anti-colonial roots, and create a new security and development architecture with China and other willing partners.
