[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

More and more humans are suffering from empire psychosis.

People who can’t go ten minutes without checking their phones, losing hours a day to social media and mindless scrolling.

People talking to chatbots, learning about the world from them, learning about life from them, making friends with them, forming relationships with them.

Binging on podcasts, binging on streaming services, binging on video games, binging on apps, binging on vapes, binging on treats delivered to their door by underpaid workers from bombed-out countries.

The bread was designed in a lab to be furiously addictive, and the circuses track your preferences to serve you up all your favorite performances.

Empire psychosis keeps us in a constant state of distraction and escapism, always scrambling to avoid the here and now like we’re trying to climb out of our own skins.

It’s a frenzied discontentedness. A persistent delusion that satisfaction exists right around the corner after the next restless squirm. It's an artificially manufactured mental disorder. And it’s worth trillions of dollars.

In the capitalist empire, there is no value to be generated by contented people. Our minds must be continually prodded and diddled to manipulate us out of our natural serenity so that we are in a constant state of toil and dissatisfaction, at all times reaching for the next fix of the next product. Clever manipulators have figured out how to generate vast fortunes by harnessing the restlessness they deliberately stir up within us.

We are psychologically hammered with advertisements and consumerist messaging from mainstream culture to convince us that we need more than we have and that we aren’t okay the way we are. That we’re not beautiful enough, not stylish enough, not successful enough, not abundant enough. The products are designed to be dependence-forming so we need to buy them, and they’re designed to quickly become obsolete so that we need to keep buying more.

They trick us out of our natural state of contentedness and then sell it back to us. They deceive us into leaving our home and then charge us an admission price to come visit.

Something went wrong. Humanity went off course. They enclosed the commons, colonized the new world, constructed a tiered society of haves and have-nots, and now we’re all living like space aliens on our own home planet.

We do not have to keep suffering from their man-made madness. We can do the inner work necessary to come back to our own contentedness, and we can do the outer work necessary to take back what the manipulators have stolen from us.

We don’t need to keep consenting to this abusive relationship any longer. A healthy world is our birthright. We will tear down the madness machine and stand at peace in the soil of the planet we were born on.

BREAKING: The Trump administration announces state-run media, similar to Russia and North Korea, launching "Trump TV," its own 24/7 streaming channel of the administration's remarks and events, going live tonight at 7 PM and claiming "just the news that matters most - straight from the Trump Administration."

This is the first time in US history an American president has launched a formal state-media channel in his own name.

It comes 3 days after the White House banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico, and hours after the five-network TV pool stopped covering Trump's events in response, leaving a White House event today with video but no sound. The White House is now broadcasting the president itself.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: American Airlines, United Airlines and Southwest Airlines are now cancelling certain flights, scaling back flight capacity and adjusting schedules due to the sharp surge in fuel costs, with American Airlines saying the latest jump in fuel prices alone is adding about $1 billion to its fourth-quarter costs, per Reuters.

Southwest has already cut its planned 2026 capacity growth roughly in half and could trim further, with its CFO saying that if fuel is "higher for longer," cutting capacity is the "natural response." United said yesterday it will cancel December flights and could cut into the first quarter and 2027, with its CFO saying "we are not flying to maximize market share."

US jet fuel is now at $4.70 a gallon, up 108% since the war began.

In genocide studies, bystander apathy is heavily analysed as a factor that allows atrocities to continue.

UPDATE: $XOM Joliet reported to have suffered a "total power outage". this refinery capacity is 275kbpd, a large facility and it looks bad.

[The Resonance @Partisan_12]

This is the first-day footage of the genocide in Gaza, aired by Al Jazeera.

The world watched live as Israel ruthlessly bombed every person in Gaza.

They still try to gaslight the world that Israel only targeted Hamas.

Esto no es un video de Hiroshima, es hoy en el sur del Líbano, donde el ejército de "Israel" ocupó un pueblo y lo llenó con más de 1.000 toneladas de explosivos, provocando un terremoto de magnitud 4,4.

El sionismo ocupa 65 pueblos libaneses y los está borrando de la faz de la tierra uno por uno, sin que ni siquiera salga en las noticias.

@Kalshi we deserve it if it goes down, tbh. no one is doing shit about any of this — a mass power outage would make people MOVE.
