Michael Parenti:
“Communism in Eastern Europe, Russia, China, Mongolia, N. Korea, and Cuba brought land reform and human services, a dramatic bettering of the living conditions of hundreds of millions of people on a scale never before or never since witnessed in human history.”
Michael Parenti (1933-2026):
‘The free market mythology argues that the most ruthless, selfish, opportunistic, greedy, calculating plunderers, applying the most heartless measures in cold blooded pursuit of corporate interests and wealth accumulation, will produce the best results for all of us through something called the invisible hand.’
Former hedge fund manager David Rogers Webb describes the goal of "The Great Taking"
"it's much darker than [they] just want to control people... It is about destroying populations... It's that they intend that you will not exist"
"It's not that they need your stuff. They can create unlimited amounts of money"
"It's not that they need your stuff or your money. It's that they do not want you to have have your stuff and your money"
"It is about subjugation of populations"
"It's even worse than being about control. Because they have control now. They have total control now"
"So what is happening now is beyond having total control"
"It is about destroying populations"
"So it's much darker than that [they] just want to control people"
"First people think it's that they want to make money. No, it's much worse than that. [Then they think] it's that they want control—no, it's much worse than that. It's that they intend that you will not exist"

Our campaign is proud to be endorsed by Chris Hedges!
Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist, author, and host of the online broadcast The Chris Hedges Report.
In his endorsement, Hedges says:
"I’ve admired and supported the revolutionary socialist Kshama Sawant since she was first elected in 2013 to the Seattle City Council. Her fierce commitment to the working class, her steadfast defiance of the billionaires who destroyed our democracy, and her anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist credentials have long made her a special target.
"The billionaire class has pumped millions of dollars into campaigns to defeat her and orchestrated a recall vote in 2021, which she fought and won.
"Her current campaign for Congress is part of our grassroots struggle to wrest power from the hands of the global ruling class. It is a campaign for free healthcare for all funded by taxing the rich. It is a campaign to raise the minimum wage to at least $25 an hour. It is a campaign to block landlords from extorting massive rents and evicting families. It is a campaign to drive politicians like Adam Smith, a tool of big business who is funded by and subservient to the Israel lobby, from Congress.
"In an age when we stand on the cusp of fascism, we cannot rely on the Democratic Party, whose betrayal of the working class and subservience to the rich gave us Trump.
"We need a political earthquake. We need a revolution. But it won’t happen until we stand with revolutionaries like Kshama."

If I wanted to fix it naturally, I'd do these 8 things every day:

According to official history, no superior civilization existed before our time.
And this wall was formed over a period of millions of years.

Again: Clinton's defeat of HW Bush marked the end of US imperial capitalist realism and led to the neocon Clean Break/Greater Israel crack pipe dream becoming US orthodoxy. The nazified lunatics won the deep political battles and the disastrous result is playing out in West Asia.
George Lucas made a fairly pro-Lenin mini documentary on YouTube.
Since George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney, he’s been spending his time making history documentary passion projects for free viewing on YouTube
Reinvesting money he made from American Graffiti and Star Wars in the 70s, Lucas built Lucasfilm into an empire independent from the Hollywood studio establishment. All its divisions would revolutionize every aspect of the film industry, from Industrial Light & Magic for special effects and CGI to THX and Skywalker Sound for sound design and reproduction. He even founded Pixar.
The Star Wars prequels were completely self-funded by George Lucas, made completely in-house — Lucasfilm even collaborated with different camera companies to develop film-grade digital cameras for the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, the latter of which was the first big-budget film shot fully on digital. Every project was produced with the intention of furthering the productive forces of filmmaking. It would only be a minor exaggeration to say all the technology Hollywood uses now comes from Lucasfilm.
George Lucas is a true Groysian auteur-dictator à la Stalin. He famously said Soviet cinema was freer and less censored than American filmmaking.
It’s no wonder Gen X Treatlerite footsoldiers of monopoly capital all but forced him to sell to the Walt Di⚡︎⚡︎ney Company, which has almost completely gutted Lucasfilm for parts and turned it into a slop factory.
It seems that relative to anyone on the Left, Tucker Carlson in his current incarnation has a better chance of forging of an anti-Establishment US political coalition. The radical Left can't even come to consensus re: anti-imperialism or anti-Zionism.
.@MidwesternDoc's full 33,500+ word breakdown gets into a specific pain formulation that appears to matter a lot for neuropathic pain.
This is the kind of detail people dealing with burning, electric, shooting pain who struggle to find relief are going to want to see and share.

Today in 1967, an entire mining town in Bolivia was massacred in its sleep because it pledged a few days' wages to Che Guevara.
The men who ordered it were trained and paid for by Washington. Almost nobody outside the Andes knows this happened. 🧵
Medieval teachers used to throw kids in rivers after lessons, to create a big emotional spike so they’d actually remember what they learned.
Andrew Huberman says the same principle works today: If you want to lock in new information, get your adrenaline up right after studying or reading.
A double espresso, ice bath, or anything that gets your heart racing immediately after learning helps tag the info as important and store it better.
Post-learning adrenaline release enhances memory consolidation. Studies by James McGaugh and others show that elevating catecholamines (e.g., via exercise, cold exposure, or caffeine) shortly after learning significantly improves long-term retention by strengthening synaptic connections in the brain.
While Washington’s accused of interfering in Peru’s elections, Colombia’s President accuses Israel of interference.
Both countries are in danger of destabilizing far right victories. In short, the US of Epstein plans to recolonize all of Latin America.
The Nazis were a product of historical materialist forces, most notably the class interests of the German oligarchy. In pursuance of the oligarchs' rational class interests--maintaining hegemony over the German regime--they were compelled to rely on irrational killers.
This is WILD!
Ray Kurzweil, the futurist who predicted the internet, smartphones, and AI says aging ends by 2032 (Save this)
Kurzweil, now 78 years old, told a live audience that humanity will reach longevity escape velocity by 2032 and he explained exactly what that means with mathematical precision.
Right now, for every year you live, you get back approximately five months of life expectancy from medical and scientific progress meaning you are losing roughly seven months of net life per calendar year.
Longevity escape velocity is the threshold where that ratio flips, for every year you live, you get back a full year or more from scientific progress, meaning your biological clock starts running backward.
Kurzweil's prediction is that threshold hits by 2032 and beyond that point, you do not simply stop dying of aging, you actively get younger every year.
The mechanism is AI-driven drug discovery at a scale that was physically impossible five years ago.
By 2030, Kurzweil argues, AI will be able to take a biological problem, generate millions of potential drug candidates, screen all of them, and run trials on simulated digital populations compressing decades of clinical research into weeks.
This is already happening.
David Sinclair's lab at Harvard used AI to virtually screen 8 billion molecules against aging targets and is now preparing human trials moving from $400,000 gene therapies toward a $100 pill that can reset biological age by 50 to 95% in four weeks.
Sinclair has already demonstrated the ability to reverse aging in mammals restoring sight in mice with optic nerve damage and reversing Alzheimer's symptoms in lab models.
Kurzweil's track record is what makes the 2032 claim impossible to dismiss.
He predicted the internet's global dominance in 1990, the defeat of a world chess champion by a computer in 1998, pocket-sized devices as primary communications tools in 1999, and AI passing professional exams in the mid-2020s, all before anyone else was saying it publicly.
If you are under 60 and in reasonable health, his message is stay alive, stay healthy, and get to 2032.
The tools on the other side of that date will be unlike anything medicine has ever produced.
US strategy is no longer ground invasions or sanctions.
It's naval blockades now. Siege warfare. Strong-arming the govt til they yield.
The US seek to become a maritime power & are adapting their economy & military accordingly.
A historical shift and yet none seem to realize.
In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.
Graham Hancock just dropped a devastating blow to mainstream archaeology with the Great Pyramid of Giza.
“It’s a 6 million ton monument… more than 2 million individual blocks of stone.”
“The Great Pyramid is aligned within 3/60ths of a single degree to true north… on a 6 million ton monument.”
“It sits almost exactly on latitude 30 which is 1/3rd of the way between the north pole and the equator.”
“And it incorporates the dimensions of the earth on a scale of 1 to 43,200 in its own dimensions.”
“So if you take the height of the Great Pyramid and multiply it by 43,200… you get the polar radius of the earth. Measure the base perimeter of the Great Pyramid… multiply it by the same factor, 43,200, and you get the equatorial circumference of the Earth.”
“Archaeologists know this. They say it’s a coincidence, total coincidence, just by chance.”
“However, I could agree with them actually if the scale was not 1 to 43,200. But the fact that it’s 1 to 43,200 changes everything because that belongs to a sequence of numbers that is found in ancient mythology all around the world… multiples of the number 72… derive from… the precession of the equinoxes.”
Jacobin receives ~$4M a year from its capitalist funders. This isn't a case in which there's a question of the piper being paid or not. In a way, we're doing the $ people a favor every time we engage in earnest with such entities without first focusing on this.
The British oil company that became BP discovered Iran's oil. When Iranians realized they were being robbed, they nationalized it — so MI6 & CIA toppled their democracy in 1953, installing a dictatorship. Iranians rose up in 1979 & the West has never forgiven them for it.
