Only Satan would continue to defend this:

[Jimmy Dore @jimmy_dore]

Obama prosecuted more journalists using the Espionage Act than all presidents before him combined.

He arrested, jailed & tortured Chelsea Manning for revealing war crimes committed in our name.

He repealed the Smith-Mundt act which now allows the CIA/FBI to directly propagandize American citizens & infiltrate unions/ NGO’s/school boards/ & organizations of all kinds.

He deported 3 million Hispanics & built the cages Democrats protested against under Trump.

Obama took us from 2 wars to 7 wars while ramping up the drone bombings killing innocent people left & right.

He effectively repealed Habeas Corpus & gave the government the authority to jail people indefinitely without a trial.

Obama is a Myth pushed by the establishment & their bought media to make you think there was someone fighting for you while he was serving Banks, Big Pharma, the MIC & his corporate masters.

Here’s a DOGE NYC find: Nathifa Forde’s “NYC Her Future” burned a year and $43M on fuzzy empowerment tweets, no real plan. Elon’s crew would’ve fired her ass months ago. #WasteWatch

@newstimeafrica @Megatron_ron @georgegalloway @ZelenskyyUa @POTUS Zelensky was selected by the US, empowered by the US, and now will be bypassed by the US. Putin was also selected and empowered by the US. Saddam Hussein was also kept in power by the US, for a time, and was removed by the US. If no more blood is shed in Ukraine, it’s a win.

Holy Shit:

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

Jewish-American orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter testifies that Israeli snipers deliberately target Palestinian children, often in the head and chest. Dr. Perlmutter traveled to Gaza as part of a medical humanitarian mission earlier this year.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Become a soldier because you want to be of service and you will discover that being a soldier doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. You’re not a hero defending your country from murderous thugs, you are the murderous thugs, and the people you are murdering are trying to defend their country from you.

Become a cop because you want to be of service and you will discover that being a cop doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. Your job isn’t to protect people from crime, your job is to protect a system whose very existence is criminal, and none of the worst people in your society ever go to prison.

Become a lawyer because you want to be of service and you will discover that being a lawyer doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. The laws aren’t there to protect ordinary people from the worst among us, they are there to protect the worst among us from ordinary people.

Become a politician because you want to be of service and you will discover that being a politician doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. The power and influence you can wield in politics is directly proportionate to your willingness to compromise and collaborate with the plutocrats, interest groups and power structures who are causing the very problems you’re trying to solve in the first place.

Become a journalist because you want be of service and you will discover that being a journalist doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. The job of the media in your society are not to report the truth and hold power to account but to propagandize the citizenry into accepting status quo politics and consenting to acts of mass military slaughter around the world, and you can only rise to success in the press to the extent that you are willing to help generate that propaganda.

Become a teacher because you want be of service and you will discover that being a teacher doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. As a teacher your job is to lie to the next generation about their nation, their government, their history and their world and indoctrinate them into trusting their government and news media.

Become a therapist because you want be of service and you will discover that being a therapist doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. A huge amount of the anxiety and depression your clients bring you cannot be resolved in therapy because they arise from the poverty, toil and lack of support which is built into the abusive and exploitative society in which we live.

Become a social worker because you want be of service and you will discover that being a social worker doesn’t work the way it’s depicted in movies and shows. Again and again you will fail to secure your clients the resources they desperately need because your government doesn’t care about them and your society flushes anyone who can’t be used to generate a profit down the toilet.

Try to make movies and shows which tell the truth about the kind of society we live in, and you will discover that the only way movies and shows get produced and placed before a large audience is if they promote the class interests of the wealthy people who control the major studios and platforms. Hollywood is one giant propaganda service for empire and capitalism.

We live in a civilization built of lies and abuse, powered by lies and abuse, and defended using lies and abuse. Even the most kindhearted and well-intentioned among us struggle to bring about positive change, because the very fabric of our society is stacked against truth and kindness.

Do you wish to be of service? Do you want to help the world? Then focus your energy on fighting against the status quo power structure which makes it so difficult to serve and to help. Do everything you can to help foment a revolutionary zeitgeist in opposition to militarism, capitalism, imperialism, authoritarianism, and the mainstream politics and media which make these abuses possible.

Work on opening people’s eyes to the lies and abuse which sustain the tyrannical power structure we all live under, and open their hearts to the possibility that it doesn’t need to be this way. The more eyes and hearts are opened in this way, the closer the people get to using the power of their numbers to force the emergence of a healthy world.

[George Galloway @georgegalloway]

Hey @elonmusk I had tens of millions of views on your platform last month and you just paid me $88. Is that some kind of joke?

[Primo Radical @PrimoRadical]

It’s funny that we pretend like we don’t know where government needs to cut spending. It’s fairly obvious:

• Military “aid” to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, etc.

• NATO

• The cost of keeping our troops all over the world

• The FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, IRS, ATF

• Corporate welfare

[The Aggressive Progressive @theagprog]

Your (forced) donation to Israel made this modern day man-made Pompeii scene possible. If you want to drive a wrench into this machine of death, start by calling your US Representative and saying STOP THE ARMS SALES TO ISRAEL. So few do. It’s 100x more powerful than voting alone.

[Jimmy Dore @jimmy_dore]

Truly AMAZING to see US T.V. Journalists telling the TRUTH about Israel as an an imperialist warmongering bully that is slaughtering civilians.

Israel is the same as they were in 1982, but You'll never see this kind of coverage on U.S. news media today, they are all completely controlled.

It’s hard to believe the day ever came.

[WikiLeaks @wikileaks]

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.

Has there ever been another country in modern history with an active protest movement *against* providing starving people with food and medical aid?
