Soon we will only see what they want us to see. Let’s remember that none of this is possible without money. Israel is a billionaire pet project.

One of the most horrifying scenes in human history has been revealed.

When Israel forced thousands in Gaza to collect flour mixed with sand due to severe famine.

A moment the world must never forget.

Nancy Pelosi was deeply involved in the 1989 color revolution in Beijing, which ultimately failed. This is also why she harbors such hostility toward China.

The FDA/Pharma revolving door is still spinning—this time as 22-year Merck veteran Karim Mikhail is put in charge of FDA’s vaccine division (CBER). https://t.co/c12aSOwUJm

Two lawmakers, @RepThomasMassie and @RoKhanna, went straight to DOJ, reviewed the Epstein files, and exposed billionaire Leslie Wexner, the former Victoria’s Secret CEO who was Epstein’s longtime money manager and even labeled a “co-conspirator” in FBI documents.

If Massie and Khanna found six protected names in just hours, how many more elites are still shielded in those millions of pages?

“Deserve to determine their own destiny”—meaning it’s the U.S.’s responsibility to determine it for them.

His father was just murdered by the US and Israel. He blames the US and clearly states they are pulling the strings

Sayyid Ali Khamenei said the same thing. As did Khomeini, Nasrallah, and virtually every Resistance thinker or leader.

In the last few weeks Jacobin attacked Ibrahim Traore and Chris Smalls. I can tell you guys first hand there is nothing more the western left hates more than when Black men start to reject liberalism and embrace revolutionary politics

[Lulu☁️ @muixyui]

never forget how the US used agent orange during the Vietnam War: sprayed on civillians, contaminating land, damaging ecosystems, and generations later kids are still born with disabilities linked to dioxin exposure. The US never issued a formal apology and paid compensation

[Thomas Fazi @battleforeurope]

Possibly the most insane headline ever.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

They watched Iraq burn on television and called it Shock and Awe.

Shock and Awe.

They named the massacre of a civilian population after the experience of watching it from a safe distance.

Not "the bombing campaign."

Not even the sanitized military euphemism.

Shock. And. Awe.

The aesthetic experience of the people watching.

Not the physical experience of the people dying.

This is what empire does to the psychology of its citizens.

It turns atrocity into spectacle.

It turns the suffering of distant people into a viewing experience with a brand name.

And the people watching from their living rooms were not monsters.

That's the point.

They were ordinary people whose entire psychological architecture had trained them to receive distant violence as entertainment, as proof of power, as reassurance.

The monsters are the architecture.

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

Israel has kidnapped a 20 year old American citizen in the West Bank and is holding her in an undisclosed location along with three other young Palestinian women abducted from the same school.

Trump is silent. Chuck Schumer is silent. This is a hostile and criminal act. How is this country our "ally"?

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

Here are the 117 Democrats who voted with Republicans against Rashida Tlaib's Lebanon war powers resolution.

Thomas Massie was the one Republican to join 91 Democrats — who all bucked party leadership — in voting for it.

@AngelicaOung @JeremiahDJohns Only when you’ve met the Chinese do you understand what https://t.co/anooX799pf tried to explain to Bill Maher: different peoples want different freedoms.
Only after knowing Chinese would you understand they don’t care about surveillance or saying fuck Xi.
But few understand it.

The only time I see Cable Media anymore is at the gym, and even after all these years studying politics it’s still wild to me that people actually consume this slop.

Fox News is filled with these pampered, manicured individuals, who can barely blink because their skin is stretched so tightly across their faces from plastic surgery. Looking like literal demons.

Then you have CNN with the diversity quota cast of bald women and the upper classes of every single minority group imaginable.

And they’re both doing the most vapid & transparent partisan hackery imaginable.

Fox is finding every way possible to praise Trump & his cronies for their “leadership” in Iran, while fear mongering about how the Democrats want to turn every U.S. state into California.

CNN is chiding Trump for not doing war on Iran properly, and clutching pearls while they defend whatever Democratic Party politician Trump called a gay nerd on Truth Social this week.

People around my age & younger see the older generations watching this and just think “what the hell is wrong with you? Can’t you see you’re being played?” It just seems so absurd on its face.

Demonic looking wealthy propagandists from two different corrupt political parties using very selective information to tell you that you should hate the other side because they’re worse.

It’s the Marshal McLuhan theory of generational gaps in the medium of communication. While the TV host with $100,000 in plastic surgeries looked authoritative to our parents, to us it looks absurd & fake.

This kind of TV establishment propaganda will never be effective again in the future, which is why companies like Palantir are now launching such massive efforts to control internet algorithms & understand social media users through data harvesting.

Social media is where the battle for the minds of Americans will be fought in the immediate future, and thankfully rational people have better chance of winning that battle now that media isn’t monopolized by the TV.

Forget all the b/s about Hamas, it was Israeli terrorists who were raping, killing babies and civilians, as their own officials now admit. https://t.co/Juc2cirJFa

The people of Albania are not messing around and are not going to allow their country to be sold off to Israel, Ivanka Trump, or Jared Kushner. This is what class consciousness looks like, and it is a beautiful thing!
