Listen to a reading of this article:
❖
The only manufacturing jobs left in the US are military weapons and consent.
❖
Gotta keep dropping bombs because they gotta keep making bombs. Gotta keep making bombs because they made the entire economy dependent on bomb-making. This is the only type of system that could possibly work.
❖
The goal of internet censorship is to suppress and marginalize unauthorized ideas so much that the internet actually becomes a net negative for ordinary people, because the only ones who will be able to rapidly share ideas of consequence will be the propagandists and their acolytes.
❖
Because people who object to US-led imperialist aggressions against their governments are routinely purged from social media, those of us who do not live in nations that are being targeted by those aggressions have a special duty to forcefully speak out against US imperialism.
❖
“Come to our Summit for Democracy,” said the nation whose elections are completely fake and whose intelligence agencies have interfered in scores of foreign elections and which openly works to topple democratically elected governments around the world all the time.
I mean, come on:
Biden has invited Venezuelan opposition figure (to say leader would be a stretch) Juan Guaidó to a virtual “summit of democracies”
Guaidó doesn’t hold any public office & competing opposition parties outperformed his coalition in recent elections https://t.co/iMn8IUSWQM

Capitalism is such a garbage system that news media will shriek all day about “crime” like it’s this mysterious alien phenomenon being inflicted upon society from the outside instead of a very obvious symptom of economic injustices with very obvious and widely known solutions.
❖
I was fully expecting Biden to be absolute shit but I will still admit to being disappointed that he just flat-out lied about ending the war in Yemen. Yes I know it serves me right for getting my hopes up. But it is still horrific that this atrocity continues.
❖
“You’re Australian, don’t write about America.”
You’re a literal empire. Everyone gets to talk about you. Shut the fuck up.
When people would tell me to shut up about the US because I’m not American I used to point out that my co-writer/husband Tim is American, but I quickly realized that’s giving way to much credence to the idea that non-Americans can’t criticize a planet-dominating unipolar empire.
❖
Covid is interesting in that it has a propaganda campaign that everyone’s aware of and encouraged to participate in. So you’ll see things like when Jimmy Dore got slammed earlier this year for talking about his adverse vaccine reaction, not because it was false, but because it hurt the propaganda effort.
Read the replies.
Sharing one's experience of adverse reactions to the mRNA jab is now apparently taboo; people are, absurdly, labeling such anecdotes as "antivax propaganda".
Perhaps if they quit ignoring these stories, they might begin to grasp why shot uptake has plateaued. https://t.co/3ooM6231TC

There’s no basis whatsoever for the belief that Dore lied about having adverse reactions, but he got raked over the coals anyway. You see things like that all the time: people forcefully discouraged from talking about raw facts because it might hurt the vaccine effort or whatever.
You are free to believe this propaganda campaign is a good thing, or that it’s a necessary evil, but what you can’t do is deny that it’s a propaganda campaign. There’s a concerted effort to manage perception, and the rank-and-file public is actively participating in that effort.
None of this is to deny that there’s misinformation about Covid and vaccines etc; there’s an incredible amount of stupid bullshit and sloppy thinking out there. But there’s also a fair bit of real information that people simply cannot discuss outside certain echo chambers without being stomped down.
This is a fairly new development, where the public is encouraged not just to share a certain message but to aggressively shut down anything which doesn’t perfectly align with it regardless of whether or not it is based in fact. Narrative managers are watching this one closely.
❖
The increasing likelihood of nuclear war between the US power alliance and Russia and/or China is the most important issue in the world. It’s self-evidently priority number one, because there will be no politics, protests, Covid vaccines, racial issues, healthcare etc if we are all dead.
There is no other issue that could instantly turn all the other issues into a non-issue tomorrow. Opposing the way the US and its allies are rapidly ramping up hostilities against Russia and China simultaneously and shutting down any possibility of detente must be our foremost priority.
I just keep seeing a day not far in the future were a nuke gets discharged amid the chaos and confusion of escalating cold war tensions between nuclear-armed nations and all we’ll be thinking about as the world ends is all the stupid nonsense we’d been arguing about previously.
❖
I'm not a historian but it seems like maybe world powers splitting into two increasingly hostile alliance groups could lead to something bad. https://t.co/QZ1eyVxKSz

The advent of nuclear weapons didn’t prevent a third world war, it just postponed it. It is not a coincidence that the two most powerful nations the US has been unable to absorb into its field of control are nuclear-armed ones. But now a final confrontation is on the horizon.
After the second world war the US became the top imperialist aggressor, and since it couldn’t take out Russia and China it set about absorbing weaker nations into its imperial folds. Now only a few nations remain unabsorbed, and the drums of war against Russia and China are beating ever louder. There was a tiny four-year window after Hiroshima before Stalin got the bomb, and China followed five years later. By doing so they were able to postpone a direct confrontation with the US empire for the rest of the century, but they’ve been marked for absorption ever since.
And now the campaign to shore up total global control is approaching its final stage.
❖
Things are fucked, the people who are making them fucked will keep doing so until stopped by the public, and the public is being psychologically manipulated away from stopping them by propaganda. That’s our whole struggle right now, and it’s happening on many different fronts.

The big joke here is that the American people themselves have all too often been the victims of the depravity of the elite who run their country. American army veterans often end up homeless once out of service, for example.
“There’s no greater guilt than discontentment, nothing more disastrous than greed.” (Laozi, Daodejing Chap 46) I can’t think of a more appropriate saying to apply to the world’s modern elite and where’s they’re ‘leading’ us.
In addition to military weapons and consent the US is also adept at creating financial crises.
The situation between Russia and the U.S. is becoming very alarming. Russia has said they will not allow Ukraine to be incorporated into NATO, which I interpret as a threat of war. The U.S. is essentially presenting Russia with a series of provocations and daring them to do something about it, but the Ukraine may be a provocation too far. The choice of whether to start a war essentially lies with the dangerous people in Washington over whether they press ahead with NATO expansion, and their track record makes me nervous.
This is how WW2 started. The US put embargos on Japan until their oil situation became dire forcing Japan to take action. They knew it would mean war so they hit the US hard at Pearl Harbor.
Wars are de-population activity and generate huge profit and direct resources to those profit centres and greasing the wheels of war are the financials.
All part of the plan just as financial crashes or depressions and the intermediate booms are all part of the process of stripping wealth away from the majority.
Biggest selling drug in the world now is Statins which might, repeat might prevent 3 heart attacks if 100 people take a statin daily for maybe 5 years. ALL 100 suffer the side effects so maybe 3 might benefit – no way to prove it.
Next biggest is likely Tamoxifen for supposedly oestrogen dependent breast cancer which will not remove the cancer stem cells – makes a LOT of money though.
People are simply farmed like animals by whatever means suitable and the herd is culled ruthlessly every so often to reduce the excess as the ‘farmers’ deem fit.
“Biden invited Venezuelan opposition figure (to say leader would be a stretch) Juan Guaidó to a virtual ‘summit of democracies.’” Just as Trump “invited Venezuelan opposition figure (to say leader would be a stretch) Juan Guaidó (‘the true and legitimate president of Venezuela’) to” The State of the Union address (and everyone stood/clapped in jubilation). How much more clear does the picture need to be?

The world that the ruling class is creating with the bio-security state is going to make any resistance to anything impossible — that’s why it’s more pressing than nuclear weapons and climate change. The ruling classes want this grave “new normal” really bad. I’ve never been censored or banned from media because of being antiwar or talking about climate change — but I have been censored and banned because of being against forced experimental gene therapy, lockdowns and health passes. Resistance against the “new normal” is always going to get more traction than climate change and nuclear weapons because the vaccinazis are stopping people’s movement, stopping them from speaking their minds, kicking them out of their jobs, making them poorer, putting them in literal quarantine camps, denying them medical care and limiting leisure time and activities which the working class has fought for and always put a premium on. Vaccinazis need stopped — and it doesn’t matter how it happens.
It all works for those elite masters IF we play their game with their rules in their court. We can do this against them IF we know how.
Otherwise create our own rules for a society and life outside of their system which removes their control mechanisms.
First we ALL must free our minds from the control systems that enslave our thinking and bind our communications to the words and meanings given us to function within their game court.
NEVER plead or appeal to the crime masters for anything – its like asking from weakness that the devil not be a devil. Those who would and do take our right to exist will not ‘give us’ any right to control them. Tupidity is as stupidity does.
Yes, I know it’s Fox.
Yes, I know it’s Tucker Carlson.
Yes, I know it’s on You Tube (surprisingly).
But it is a calm, rational, logical, sequential, cited and provable discussion.
Do you dare, or is your mind closed?

His first television interview in 15 years!
Very informative interview. Those pushing this Covid plandemic hate facts and instead push narrative. Hthe world is fracturing because of their attempt at global control.
The US dollar has ruled since 1945.
Not anymore.
Question is : Have the oligarchs of the US, China, Russia and Europe conspired to digitise all currencies and consolidate their stranglehold on humanity?
Your digital ID (courtesy of Covid) has been thrust onto a compliant population. Next comes the coup de grace; all assets seized.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
I agree. The dollar rise began in 1913 with the creation of the federal reserve and solidified their dominance with breton woods in 1944.
There are two entities with almost the same name, just to confuse. If it is easier think there are two meanings to the name United States of America or America. We need to rethink and use another way to view this picture as we do many other narratives and words we have been ‘given’ to us.
Suitcase loads of money was spent by American based operatives to massage the Russian revolution with both Lenin and Trotsky trained and shipped (resp.) in to take over what had been started. About a third of the gold horde of the state of Russia disappeared in the process. Four major US based companies ‘assisted’ the new Bolshevic republic to rebuild – GE, GM, Ford and Standard Oil. Wall St bankers were in the background all through. This is not conspiracy theory – go check it out.
Interestingly the same crowd turn up when looking into the rise of the Fascists and Hitler and Co early 1920-30’s in Germany sparked by a US presidential ordered advance team going to Germany involving the then President of the Federal Reserve Bank New York and others. All four helped rebuild Germany before WW2 with factories and businesses while the banking systems assisted the war preparations and conduct.
There are many more ‘interested’ parties involved in the background of history than we were ever allowed to know of and it takes a lot of digging to find this out. The City of London Corporation, not part of the UK, and Vatican City, not part of Italy plus District of Columbia as not part of the America we identify as such suggests a different game and not the easily identifiable players we see regularly. Go and look – hard.
Australia is a thoroughly corporatised entity, traded on the world markets and registered (in many separate forms) as a company with the US-SEC in District of Columbia. Go do a company search so you know it is true. Try a search with COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA and you get a company I/D number.
So we must be sure of what we speak of when talking America, Russia, China, and also terms like communist. socialist, capitalist, democracy and even human rights (there are very few).
I learnt a lot about the USA being a corporation by listening to Vyzygoth with the Informer interviews. The term ‘states’ comes from the original 13 British State Plantations (farms) that make up the USA, with the biggest share of profits going back to ‘mother’ Britain. I joined the dots that the Australian states were pretty much the same ruling elite/corporate concept. My biggest issue with this is being kept ignorant of the true facts. Obviously, the elite presumed a revolt, resentment, lack of loyalty, or something like that, may occur if the truth is open and transparent. And so, they continue to weave a great illusion that makes most people think they have some control over political power, while they struggle to payoff even a very modest home today.Things are engineered so that the majority will never get too far ahead, or else, they will lose their fear of falling backwards, which keeps them working for essentially peanuts, as far as the elite are concerned.
Debt and Taxes plus all government fees not only fund the system in place they are also the means, perhaps the primary purpose of them, to drain any excess money and valuer away from the masses to do as you say – keep them in some form of bondage.
What is happening right now is a change in the way that bondage is functioning into a computer/internet/mobile surveilance system of control with social rewards or penalties managed through it. Welcome to 1984. What little freedoms most had will be further curtailed and the excess population is being removed/eliminated to reduce waste and environmental impact in a quick easy way. Not working as planned though.
Agree. It’s 1984 but with the ‘democracy illusion’ facade reworked as a ‘national security/health emergency illusion’ facade. You can also throw in gambling and the rigged stockmarket as other state mechanisms for large scale money retrieval.
But as for ‘not working as planned’, I’m not sure, it looks like it’s going to plan here in Australia anyway.
Is The Plan actually working or is that what we are supposed to ‘accept’ as the narrative because ‘some’ of it appears to be working?
MSM would have us convinced that nothing can stop this juggernaught – it propaganda to be expected.
I have an email from Doctors for Covid Ethics with so many links to what is happening including Notice of Liability served on ALL Euro-parliamentarians and on and on it goes. Australia is so totally corporatised and also critical strategically to the US military PLUS a largely compliant apathetic population of Sheeple though the pushback is happening still. Gotta go find it now as it is actively being hidden from most.
If I find genuine pushback and not the widespread controlled opposition pushback, I’m there. All I see are sheep and ruling elite cult brainwashed recruits.
We all need a fully capable BullShit detector, and to use it always.
Works for me.
mad dialecticians at work.
“creative destruction” and weird social darwinist ideas.
Not sure if your comment is about what I wrote or the whole charade that pretends to be national government in any country now. IF anyone doubts this reality then go do some deep homework on it. There is a LOT of evidence still available just not right under our noses always and certainly NOT on the Tell-A-Vision propaganda machine.
Our Schooling or Fooling as some would call it pre-programmes us to see what we are told to see.
Look behind the curtain, and when you see the game you will never see the world the same again – tricks do not work when you know how they are played.
“It’s self-evidently priority number one, because there will be no politics, protests, Covid vaccines, racial issues, healthcare etc if we are all dead.”
I’m not sure Fauci wouldn’t pop out of his bunker in the Rockies after the showdown to explain that we must vaccinate the dead because they might kill their grandmas…
A rekindled Cold War? A reality check on the narrative around U.S.-China tensions
LISTEN 47:25 12/01/2021
https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2021/12/01/great-powers-in-conflict-a-reality-check-on-the-u-s-cold-war-with-china
he U.S. is locked in another “great powers” conflict, this time with China. That’s what you’ll often hear in Washington. But is a Cold War era analogy the right one for modern China?
South China Sea territory disputes intensify U.S-China tensions
US-China Summit May Have Lowered The Temperature, But The Tough Issues Remain : The NPR Politics Podcast
Ambassador Bonnie Jenkins On The U.S., China, And The Future Of Nuclear Weapons
China has not rebuilt the old Imperial Capital flattened by British cannons fired from ships near 100 years ago as a reminded of what they term ‘A hundred years of shame’ when British, American and other nations conspired to try to break into China to rape its wealth.
China works by a different metric to so called ‘western’ minds. And the China today may be linked now into a overlord controlling super elite that controls the worlds financial system on which we have all become dependent for our existence.
WW3 is being fought now with bio-weapons disguised as medical and Psyops disguised as Public Safety control measures
Sheeple are self electing to die in a war they do not recognise or can even comprehend let alone believe is happening.
China is definitely an industrial and military rival/threat to the west. But I’m not sure if it’s got financial control of the world? Covid pandemic seems to have dispelled that possibility? The western elite are pretty much saying – ‘see, we don’t really give a shit about pausing world trade, we care about world control and stopping/controlling China’s belt and road’. What I can see is spheres of influence (spheres of control) being of prime importance, of which the UK/US/west has the largest. There is no doubt in my mind that the west (key western powers – UK/US) is trying, has been trying for over a century, to totally control China and install western puppet leaders. The same template it uses all around the world. WW3 has been going on at least since the Korean War, they just changed tactics (psyops/bio-weapons/100% loyal cult brainwashing recruitment) after conventional war failures. China is trying to grow its sphere of influence. The real question is, who is the better, kinder master to the masses? West? China? Neither?
Possibility exists that the elite leadership in China has been bought off / inducted / coerced / extorted into joining in with the true Super Elites who are running this earthly game of control.
The history of China was not one of expanding conquests but trade which they excelled at I believe. Invasion marks the big events in Chinese history as far as I know, mostly from the north west so Mongolia was a risk factor and the headwaters of several major river systems begin in Tibet so there was another region of potential risk. What else has China in its 6000 year history invaded and taken over?
Does not mean the current regime will stay at home though.
i’ve heard that theory that China is in on things, but I don’t buy it. Too much evidence to the contrary. So, if and until something obvious occurs, they are, potentially, the last truly sovereign state, and only because they can fully defend themselves, and compete technologically.
