The level of blatant corruption is breathtaking:
Trump has officially launched a service offering Wall Street firms early access to his social media posts on his website -- for a fee of $100,000 per month.
In the press release for the service it calls "Truth API", Trump Media and Technology Group boasted of providing financial firms with "market-moving Truths".
The White House is literally charging rich investors more than a million dollars per year so they can get even richer through government-sponsored insider trading. The fish rots from the head down.
It's so creepy how evangelical Christians fetishize Jews and Israel. They treat the modern state of Israel like a magical fantasy land and talk about Jewish people like fairy folk, because those words happen to appear in some ancient book of made-up stories.
They regard today's genocidal apartheid colonialists in the state of Israel as biblical Israelites, and think some dentist in New York City is the same sort of person as the fictional characters they read about in the book of Exodus. It's like if someone took over New Zealand and named it "Middle Earth" and started calling all the Kiwis "hobbits", and then all the Tolkien nerds started oohing and ahhing about it and planning expensive trips to go see the land where Gandalf and Frodo once walked, and started organizing lobby groups and voting blocks to promote the foreign policy interests of "Gondor" (formerly Wellington).
And the modern state of Israel is built around facilitating this exact type of fetishization. They resurrected a dead language that hadn't been spoken conversationally anywhere on earth for centuries and changed the name of their currency from the lira to the "shekel" in order to facilitate this Bible-LARPing and build on the illusion that their brand new ethnostate is the same as the nation that Jews and Christians have been reading about in their ancient scriptures. All to ensure that a western political support base will push western governments to pour modern war machinery into propping up this ridiculous apartheid state with the nonstop violence required for its perpetuation.
It's so fucking insane. "Ooh, we've got to send bombs and attack helicopters to the magical Jew kingdom so that the magical Jesus prophecy can come true and make us all go to Eternal Paradise!" Fucking freaks. Stop doing this.
@MelanieLatest I really couldn’t see where he is lying. We have all watched with our eyes that he is not. He doesn’t say anything, everyone has seen and heard live what has happened.
@MorriganFaire@caitoz Then u are either blind or idiot or simply another propagandised white mediocre citizen of the most heavily propagandised country in the world. I chose D)all of above
One of the dumbest popular narratives is that Zionists persuaded a reluctant Trump to start a war with Iran after he was re-elected, like they were following him around going "Would you like to bomb Iran?" like Green Eggs and Ham and he was going "Not in a box! Not with a fox!" until he eventually caved in.
It is now abundantly clear that this war was planned a long time ago. Not in 2026, not in 2025, not in 2024, and not even during the Biden administration. This was planned before Trump was ever elected president. He campaigned on tearing up the Iran nuclear deal, and that's exactly what he did once he got into office the first time around.
As soon as the JCPOA was torched in 2018 the Trump administration began dramatically ramping up aggressions against Iran, smashing them with starvation sanctions in its "maximum pressure" campaign with the explicit goal of regime change and then escalating to the direct assassination of Iran's top military official.
There was no reason to do that if your goal was peace. There was no reason to do that if your goal was to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The Iran deal was working. Iran was fully compliant. The escalations were the goal.
Trump has openly admitted to giving the Adelsons everything they wanted in exchange for the massive campaign donations which put him in the White House. In 2013 Sheldon Adelson made headlines by saying the US should drop a nuclear weapon on the Iranian desert and then say "See? The next one is in the middle of Tehran" in order to scare the Iranians into groveling.
Everything we've been seeing throughout Trump's second term makes it glaringly obvious that the only reason he'd received the oligarchic and institutional support necessary to become an American president was because he had provided enough powerful people with enough reassurance that he would do what no other president had dared to try: start a war with Iran.
All that we have seen throughout 2026 has been the seeds of those early assurances coming to fruition. All those murdered schoolchildren. All the dead and injured US soldiers. The bombed-out civilian infrastructure. The blackened skies. The blockades. The fear. The economic strife. This was all planned years ago, with the full complicity of a psychopathic monster who wanted to become president.
He campaigned on ending the wars, and he was lying the whole time. He wasn't pressured and persuaded, he was an active and eager participant.
Anti-interventionists on the right often try to spin it as Trump getting suckered by the Israelis, because this allows them to retroactively justify their support for Trump with the belief that they voted for someone who was well-intentioned at the time.
But Trump was never well-intentioned. He had always intended to start a war with Iran in his second term, once he no longer had to worry about getting re-elected. He was always a deceitful war slut, as evil as any we've ever seen in the White House.
Evil people are the only ones who are ever allowed past the many gatekeeping mechanisms to the presidency. In order to help run a murderous empire that is fueled by human blood, you've got to be a psychopath. They don't let you in unless they've been adequately assured that you are sufficiently psychopathic to do the job.
Trump provided them with those assurances. That's the only reason he sits where he now sits.
@reenchuk@JoelWBerry Off such an ignorant, mediocre dumbass. It should be hard and brain frying living in the cultural, political landscape of distorted facts in US. Such a waste of “HUMAN” and “BREATH”!
Liberals Have Relaxed About Trump Because They Trust Him To Keep The Wars Going
They view him as one of their own now. When he finally dies, he will be lovingly eulogized by all the same liberal institutions which called him a second Hitler during his first term.

@SoonerGreg1@OrevaZSN U americans , i wish u’d have a bit of awareness, conscious, a little bit historical knowledge about what left and right are and how they have been constructed instead of using the word “so ridiculously” “so frequently” in a HYPER WRONG WAY. Assessing “blue” as left is pathetic.
Morty: Capitalism gives everyone a chance to get rich if they just work hard enough.
Rick: Oh my god, Morty! Capitalism doesn't work if everyone wins. It needs poverty to function. Someone has to take the low-paying jobs so the profits keep flowing upward. If everyone had real financial security, no one would take those positions and the system would collapse.
Morty: But Rick, that's just how the market works. Some people earn more because they provide more value.
Rick: Tell that to the kid assembling your iPhone overseas for pennies while some CEO makes millions off it. Capitalism doesn't reward work, it rewards ownership. You don't climb the ladder by working hard, you climb it by owning the ladder. The workers collectively produce infinitely more value than some shareholder living in the Bahamas.
Morty: Okay, but isn't it about freedom People can still move up if they make good choices. Look at people who came from nothing and became successful, like entrepreneurs or celebrities.
Rick: Those are exceptions, idiot. That's why they're on TV. For every one person who makes it out, millions stay stuck because they never had the same luck, connections, or safety nets. The system needs those stories so people believe it's fair.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz invoking the "Plaza Accord" against China is a massive, telling Freudian slip
It’s a brazen admission that the 1985 agreement was an imperialist project designed to kneecap Japan’s economy because the West simply couldn’t compete fairly
Now, Germany and the EU harbor the insane delusion that they can win a trade war against China—a war the US just spectacularly lost
Instead of working with China to deliver actual prosperity for their own citizens, European leaders would rather sacrifice their economies on the altar of neoliberal decoupling. They are choosing economic suicide just for a fleeting hope of restoring their lost imperial power and influence. Pure, suicidal nostalgia 🤡

Westerners love to whine about how tyrannical and authoritarian Iran's government is, but it's worth noting that the control Tehran exerts within its borders is a major reason US-Israeli efforts to turn the nation into a giant Libya have failed. That control exists to thwart precisely the type of existential foreign threat that Iran just thwarted. Were it not for that existential foreign threat, such control wouldn't be necessary.
The US has openly admitted to deliberately fomenting the domestic unrest we saw in Iran earlier this year, and to attempting to arm insurgent factions. Those foreign threats were put down by precisely the "tyranny" you've seen western liberals and anarkiddies decrying in Iran all year.
The fact that the US-Israeli war failed to achieve the government-toppling goals set out by Washington and Tel Aviv means that Iran was able to inhibit the visibility that US and Israeli intelligence agencies had into the nation, because you only fail to accomplish a military objective you think you can accomplish if your enemy is able to surprise you. Countering US and Israeli intelligence operations, rooting out US and Israeli intelligence assets, blocking US and Israeli propaganda from domestic consumption, and obstructing US and Israeli visibility into Tehran's government and military could only be achieved by a strong government that's willing exert forceful control over what goes on inside its own borders.
Westerners like to point at the "authoritarianism" of the few remaining enemies of the US-centralized empire as though it proves that we're looking at a struggle between a beneficent and virtuous civilization and a bunch of evil tyrants, but really all it proves is that the only nations who are able to resist absorption into the imperial blob are the ones who are willing and able to exert control over what happens inside their borders. If the US and its allies weren't constantly working to subvert and topple all unabsorbed nations, this "authoritarianism" wouldn't be needed to resist it.
@western_bester@caitoz And that silly parroted , “product of ignorance” argumentative that never ceases to exist to white wash the very existence of an evil, unapologetically supremacist villain character. The same old sentence will be repeated endlessly.
