Thomas Massie has lost his congressional seat against a primary opponent whose Israel lobby funding made the race the most expensive House of Representatives primary in history. Massie has been a rare Republican opponent of Israeli abuses on Capitol Hill.
The spending on Massie’s ouster topped out at a staggering $32 million when all was said and done. The second- and third-most expensive House primary races were also heavily slanted by Israel lobby funding, with AIPAC pouring millions into toppling progressive Democrats Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman.
Americans just watched the Israel lobby openly manipulate yet another election, and then in like two weeks they’re going to hear their government tell them they need to regime change another foreign country to bring “democracy” to its people. Americans themselves do not have democracy.
The ceasefire with Iran is tenuous and could end at any time. Washington is currently drumming up ridiculously transparent pretexts to justify attacking Cuba. And you just know as soon as the bombs start falling on whatever country they’re going to fall on, Americans will be told this is a good thing because it will bring freedom and democracy to whatever population is getting ripped apart by military explosives.
It’s just so silly how often the US propaganda machine bangs on about “democracy” while vast fortunes are poured into slanting the American electoral process to advance the agendas of plutocrats and special interest groups.
Let’s bring democracy to the Iraqi people! Oh no, the Russians are interfering in our democracy!
And meanwhile nothing of the sort actually exists in America. When the elections go toward whoever can afford to spend the most on manipulating and deceiving the public into voting their way, that’s not democracy. That’s plutocracy.
The rich buy up news outlets and social media platforms, pour funding into think tanks and lobby groups, and sponsor the primary campaigns of anyone who disagrees with them, and in so doing they are able to exert enough influence to get the public to vote in whatever way advances their agendas.
That’s why Americans have a joke of a minimum wage and no normal healthcare system. It’s why corporations are allowed to exploit the working class and pollute the environment without consequence. It’s why AI is being shoved down our throats with zero regulation while it consumes our clean water and takes our jobs. And it’s why American-made bombs are still falling in Lebanon and Gaza.
The rich and powerful are going to keep doing this until they are made to stop. They’re going to keep using their wealth and influence to manipulate public behavior until people stop allowing them to. You can’t vote this problem away, because they control the votes.
Forget about bringing democracy to Cuba. Try bringing democracy to the United States.
@PiersUncensored@piersmorgan@s_m_marandi Scott Horton told the exact same thing to piers, the next day... And piers didn't go on the defensive. Seems Piers is only obident to one religion ( not christisns/catholics) and the USA.

Scott Horton just exposed the propaganda about Iran. 'The claim Iran massacred 40,000 protesters is a preposterous hoax. Trump admitted Israel armed those groups.
They were Kurdish communists fighting the government, not peaceful protesters. 40,000 dead would be worse than Babi Yar. The propaganda showed 12 body bags.
The lie serves a purpose: justify the war. Dehumanize Iran. Make the regime look like genocidal monsters - while Israel does the exact same things in Gaza and Lebanon
🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Gas prices just spiked between $0.70 and $0.90 in a single day across Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin, with some stations now hitting $5 per gallon.
-GasBuddy confirming the surge across multiple Midwest states
-Single-day jumps of nearly a dollar per gallon at the pump
-Some stations breaking $5 for the first time since the war began
-National average already at a war-era high of $4.18 before this spike
-Comes as Trump met with energy executives yesterday to discuss extending the blockade for months
The pain everyone has been warning about for weeks is now landing at the pump in real time, and it's hitting the Midwest first because that's where refining capacity and supply lines are tightest.
The economic clock Trump has been managing just got significantly louder, and the political consequences of $5 gas across the Rust Belt six months out from the midterms don't need to be explained.

It's infinite psyop season. The main targets are those who are unhappy with the current system, would-be dissidents. The goal is to distract them so they don't do anything real about it and divert them into a new, more convenient corral.
Stay vigilant and maybe don't immediately trust the "ex"-cia people suddenly popping up telling you what you want to hear.
