I’ve been against “war on drugs”, “war on terror”, “war on viruses” that the collective west has been waging for the corporate oligarchy my whole life. Nothing is more important than to #StandWithPalestine because the corporate oligarchy sees us all as Palestinians. #GazaGenocide
Esta no era la Alemania nazi, eran las calles de Reino Unido el 11 de junio de 1936, cuando la Unión Británica de Fascistas de Oswald Mosley organizaba un acto multitudinario en Gales.
En aquel entonces la Alemania nazi tenia ya 4 campos de concentración abiertos; Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald y Lichtenburg.
Sin embargo, en Reino Unido las calles estaban llenas de nazis, se veían estas imágenes sistemáticamente con Mosley, al igual que ocurría en EEUU y los desfiles del partido nazi German American Bund, el cual en 1939 organizó un evento en el Madison Square Garden de Nueva York, con unos 20.000 nazis.
@javilopezEU@eu_eeas Kaja Kallas is a tool alright, but not a diplomatic one. European Union ”defending diplomacy over force” is the most laughable thing I’ve read in a long time. We have become the disposable thumb of the US Empire, doing their bidding and destroying ourselves in the process.🤦♂️
This is also what the US did to the northern part of Korea as punishment for its national liberation struggle. To this day, the US uses satellite imagery to mock the DPRK’s supposed backwardness compared to the southern US occupation zone, which was propped up with massive economic handouts while the north was economically besieged. Imperialism’s cruelty and shamelessness know no bounds.
Zionazi is indeed bad branding by the anti genocide camp. NaZionists is a way more accurate and historically justified description of the western backed colonial and genocidal Nationalist Zionist Israel project.
Terms like “Zionazi” recast Jews as Nazis, turning the Holocaust into a weapon against its victims. To fight this, Combat AntiSemitism Movement has launched Report It — a secure app to report antisemitic incidents anonymously and in real time.

Felix Rodriguez is a walking index of U.S. crimes: Che's execution, CIA-backed death squads in Vietnam, Ilopango, Posada, Contras, drug allegations, pardons.
Tucker Carlson sat him down and performed the old operation in public: convert state violence into "interesting" biography.
His record matters because it shows how American power actually works when Congress, law, and public opinion become obstacles.
In Tucker's own interview, Rodriguez says the CIA sent Cuban exiles into Bolivia because they were not U.S. citizens and did not fall under the restriction on Americans.
US law drew a line so the CIA built a tunnel under it.
Then Che, where a captured revolutionary frightened them enough to kill him, stage the wounds, manage the corpse, cut the hands for identification, and keep telling the story for half a century.
First came the rifle. Then came the staging. Then came the trophy, by his own memoir: Rolex, pipe tobacco.
Then came Tucker.
In Vietnam, Rodriguez worked with CIA-backed Provincial Reconnaissance Units he himself describes as "managed, paid, and controlled by the CIA."
The words were clean enough for Washington because the bodies were not in Washington. "Counterinsurgency" is murder in the language of bureaucracy.
Under the alias Max Gomez, Rodriguez entered the Contra pipeline, where American law arrived as an obstacle to logistics.
On Tucker, Rodriguez says he was "lucky" Vice President Bush had Donald Gregg, his old CIA boss from Vietnam, as national security adviser.
This is how the permanent state actually looks: not robes and rituals, just old bosses, new offices, and the war continuing after "democracy" says stop.
In plain terms: Rodriguez became part of the Ilopango resupply network that kept the U.S.-backed Contra terrorists supplied while Congress was trying to block the official route.
After a plane went down, the official Iran-Contra investigation found Bush aides had information about North's resupply network through Rodriguez while Washington denied U.S. involvement.
Then came the perfect ending: Clair George, the CIA official convicted of lying to Congress about Max Gomez, was pardoned by Bush on Christmas Eve 1992.
Then Luis Posada, the terrorist Tucker left out of the room.
Cubana Flight 455 was blown out of the sky in 1976, killing all 73 aboard. Posada was held in Venezuela in connection with the case, escaped, and ended up at Ilopango with Rodriguez's help.
The "anti-terror" state always made exceptions for anti-communist terror.
Former DEA agent Celerino Castillo alleged cocaine moved through Ilopango hangars tied to North and Rodriguez. Rodriguez denies it. A Senate investigation still confirms traffickers were paid to fly Contra cargo.
The named allegations go further: Ramon Milian Rodriguez alleged Rodriguez solicited Medellin cartel money for the Contras, and former DEA supervisor Hector Berrellez alleged he was present during the 1985 torture of DEA agent Kiki Camarena.
Tucker did not even press the easy errors.
Rodriguez blamed Carter for ending CIA penetrations of Al Qaeda and causing 9/11. Al Qaeda did not exist when Carter was president.
He also said Sendero Luminoso took the Japanese ambassador's residence in Peru. It was MRTA, a separate rival group.
This is the limit of Tucker's anti-establishment turn: Israel can be condemned, but the CIA's anti-communist executioners still get laundered.
At the end, Rodriguez says he regrets nothing, "not one bit." Tucker calls it one of the most interesting lives he has encountered.
A cemetery became a resume.
Thus we arrive at the useful cognitive dissonance of Tucker exposing Israel while protecting the machine that armed it, sanctified it, and made it necessary to American power.
🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺NEW VIDEO: Ukraine Update: US Prepares to Feed Europe Next into Proxy War on Russia
On YouTube: https://t.co/LUEuwnr7UD
"Unfortunately, the US is not running short on proxies — even if the war appears to be drawing to an end in terms of grinding Ukraine down through attrition, the US is willing, capable, and actively preparing to feed the rest of Europe into the proxy war next, meaning Russia will then have to repeat the entire process again, but against a much more dangerous combined European force including member states armed with nuclear weapons."

Smotrich demanded the destruction of 10 buildings in Beirut for every explosive drone launched by Hezbollah. This is Nazism. There is an increasingly strong case to make that Israel is now perpetrating two genocides.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 US Media (NY Times) Whitewashes Nazi Collaborator Honored by Recent Ukrainian State Funeral
The New York Times turns itself into a pretzel trying to whitewash and excuse a Ukrainian state funeral held for WW2 Nazi collaborator Andriy Melnyk.
The headline?
"In Ukraine, a Divisive 20th-Century Hero Comes Home"
Remember when Nazism in Ukraine was dismissed as "Russian propaganda," that it was just a handful of "fringe" organizations the Western media and Western governments as early as 2014 would even sometimes condemn?
Remember how when it became too difficult to deny anymore, the US government even had to ban arms and training from reaching entire overt Nazi units within the Ukrainian military like "Azov?"
And Remember how after that, Nazism was so rampant it became impossible to cover up or work around so the US simply lifted the bans and began arming Ukrainian units openly operating under WW2 Nazi names and insignia?
Today, Ukraine is holding state funerals for World War 2 Nazi collaborators, burying them in official military cemeteries while its military operates under a vast collection of Nazi names and insignia.
The Western media is committed to now "complicating" a very uncomplicated chapter in history - by citing "divergent interpretations" (also known as lies) when objectively, historically, and from an international legal standpoint...
...the symbols used by official Ukrainian units and the collaboration of historical figures in Ukraine with Nazi Germany all have irrevocable meanings and roles rooted in the war crimes of Nazi Germany.
If what is considered modern-day "Ukraine" faces an existential fight and it is vast and growing numbers of modern day Nazis and extremists showing up to fight for it - that "Ukraine" probably shouldn't exist.
What this reveals about "Western values" is that those "values" themselves are but a facade the West hides behind - not upholds.

@elinavaltonen So NATO’s ”open door policy” has been valid for all countries around Russia, but not for Russia that has asked at least twice for membership? But it’s Russia that is a threat to world peace, not NATO that has been encroaching upon Russia with missiles? Make I make sense.🤦♂️
American “Revolutionaries” in America, the easiest place in the world to get your hands on serious weaponry - Please rest of the world, why don’t you sacrifice yourself to save us from our bad government, please🙏
The original video card said "SS girl walks onto Camera"
Of course, it is no surprise that Nazis chose to run away from Places where they faced execution to places where they could be the head of NATO.
Creating a Nazi safe space is not something to be proud of.
Smedley Butler was one of the most decorated Marines in U.S. history.
He received two Medals of Honor, one of only 19 Americans ever to do so.
He spent thirty-three years in the U.S. Marine Corps, rising to Major General.
In 1935, he wrote a book called War Is a Racket.
He said:
"I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."
One of the most decorated Marines in American history said this.
In 1935.
It is not assigned reading.
The football stadium still says, "Thank you for your service."
But the general who explained what that service was actually used for is still kept outside the official mythology.
The United States has the largest prison population on earth.
Not per capita.
Total.
More people in cages than China.
More than Russia.
More than every "authoritarian" state it condemns in its annual human rights reports.
1.8 million people.
Disproportionately Black.
Disproportionately poor.
Disproportionately from the zip codes with the worst schools, the fewest jobs, the most abandoned infrastructure.
This is presented as a "criminal justice system."
It functions as a labor system.
Prison labor, paid between 13 cents and $1.15 an hour in most states, produces goods for McDonald's, Walmart, Victoria's Secret, Whole Foods, and the United States military.
The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, contains an exception clause:
"Except as punishment for crime."
That exception has never been closed.
It has been expanded.
The plantation did not disappear.
It received a different name and a legal foundation.
