🧵 CNN or CIA? Top 5 Journalists With Close Ties to CIA
Fourth estate or national security state? It is often difficult to know which one you are listening to when turning on cable news. In this series, MintPress highlights five senior media figures you might not know have extremely close links to the CIA.
No US military personnel have ever been targeted for stateside retaliation. That’s a paranoid trope with zero basis in historical fact. Make no mistake: This is so that special operators can commit crimes in secret and books like THE FORT BRAGG CARTEL will be effectively illegal.
Enough is enough. This time an 82-year-old American man has been left bloodied & injured by the IDF. And another attempt to hide evidence. This has to end.
If @USAmbIsrael can’t protect American citizens from this kind of violence, he needs to resign.
@After__History What’s a “dictator” to you? How are you saying in one breath (1) the CIA report doesn’t say he’s not a dictator (it literally does), (2) he was in fact a “dictator,” and (3) he “leaned heavily on his inner circle”? This idea of one guy pulling all the strings always is laughable
@HungNguyenTuan@sivtree@beyond_capital Left/right doesn’t matter to communists. But loosely in the west, left means socialists and (actual) anarchists and right means basically everything else.
@HungNguyenTuan@vampireshoshi@beyond_capital 3/3 The break with Bakunin was over means (whether the proletariat takes state power first) not over whether the state eventually goes. Lenin says as much in State and Revolution. The end goal of communism is the withering away of the state. Anarchism =
stateless society.
@HungNguyenTuan@vampireshoshi@beyond_capital 2/3 I’m an ML, not an anarchist. Most of what calls itself anarchism today is idealist and has no account of how classes reproduce. I’m not defending anarchism. I’m correcting your description of communism and understanding of anarchism. Anarchism is not just when “no laws” lol.
@HungNguyenTuan@beyond_capital You could speculate that anarchism is the “end state” after achieving and sustaining communism. In other words, a true “withering away of the state,” as Engels wrote. Sadly “anarchism” in all other senses is meaningless, idealist fantasy.
Teacher posts video of mold destroying everything she paid for in her classroom… and gets fired for it.
A teacher came back from summer break to find her entire classroom covered in mold.
Her chair. Her ottoman. Picture frames. Posters. Books she kept neat all year. All ruined because there was no AC running in the building over the summer.
She said it out loud: teachers are the ones funding these classrooms in the first place, and they do not get paid enough for this.
Then the video got taken down. And according to multiple posts circulating, she was fired for sharing it.
She was not complaining about the school’s budget. She was showing the damage to items she paid for with her own money so kids would have a decent classroom.
This is the system. Teachers spend their own paychecks to make rooms livable, then face consequences for documenting when the building itself is unsafe.
Parents deserve to know what their kids are walking into. Teachers should not lose their jobs for saying it.

Have a nice day.
This interview was nothing but “will you denounce Hasan Piker”, grilling over loyalty to Israel (5 questions!) and clips of people calling him Hamas. ZERO questions about healthcare, affordability, data centers, etc. Like with Mamdani, it’s just endless zionist struggle sessions
You know what it means when the IDF has good enough optics to pick out the forelocks on individual people’s heads?
It means they know the toddlers are toddlers when they murder them.
