This is a masterclass on why China is rising and the United States is decaying: “In America, you can change the political parties but you can’t change the policies. Billionaires in America control all policy making. China is a vibrant market economy but it is not capitalist. Billionaires in China can’t control policy and capital does not have enshrined rights. In America, capital itself has risen above the nation. In the last 66 years China is being run by one single party, yet the political changes that have taken place have been wider and broader and greater than any other country in modern history.” This is why it is far better to have one party that serves the people than two parties that both serve corporations and billionaires.

Internal CIA book review of Kwame Nkrumah's "Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism" upon its publication in 1965 It was prepared for the agency's deputy director Richard Helms Nkrumah's book was sent to CIA's directorate of intelligence, as well its covert action and counterintelligence staff, and the Africa division of its directorate of plans "for study and whatever action these components consider adviseable." What Nkrumah described so accurately in 1965 is still the case. And the empire is still just as terrified of the truth getting out

the US treats entire populations like lab rats for coercion experiments and then calls itself restrained because the deaths happen through hospital shortages and economic collapse instead of missile footage.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

This is not a drill. Guess who is funding the massive AI data centers? None other than BlackRock. And its criminal CEO Larry Fink already knows how unpopular these data centers are, so he is preemptively accusing any American who fights back of being a “domestic terrorist.” 👀

"Nobody wants to work anymore" is capitalism for "it's getting harder to exploit the poor."

There's never been a ruling class that has lived as well as the modern US ruling class. Billionaires upon billionaires and soon-to-be trillionaires. No rules. No laws. No responsibilities. No accountability. Just gloating with reckless abandon while the world suffers.

I hate when capitalists are like “but under communism people will have to do jobs they don’t want to do” as if all the people currently working 80 hours a week at three different fast food restaurants are doing it for the love of the game.

The most annoying thing about being human right now is knowing we already have the intelligence and resources to end world hunger, fight climate change, and cure cancer, but greed and billionaires keep millions suffering instead. The wasted human potential is heartbreaking.

Kamala Harris’s husband is the part of the legal defense for AB 715 — a very controversial bill that falsely equates criticism of Israel to anti-semitism in California schools. The plaintiffs include anti-racism orgs, and 3 Jewish orgs included Jewish Voice for Peace.

Hands down one of the most corrupt and revealing things a politician has ever said: “If this Capitol crumbled to the ground the one thing that would remain is our aid to Israel.” If you haven’t figured out that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are just as corrupt as Republicans you aren’t paying attention.

This is — without exaggeration — the biggest scandal of the century 🤯 🔴 Trump is selling presidential pardons. 🔴 Netanyahu is leading coups in LatAm. 🔴 Milei is destabilizing his neighbors. 🔴 JOH is acting as a US colonial agent. 🔴 And so, so much more. Above all, Hondurasgate is a violent wake-up call for defenders of democracy across the world. The Reactionary International is outpacing us in every single dimension: they are more agile, more creative, more audacious. and more effective. The first step of our response is transparency: to track the long list of crimes that these reactionary forces are committing in service of their colonial project. The second is accountability: to apply the legal tools that we have to ensure that these crimes do not go uncontested, and that delinquents like JOH are punished. But the third must be articulation: to develop our own networks that do not simply give speeches and sign declarations but act with the same determination to defend and deepen our democracies from the insidious tactics of this global network of reactionary forces.

Four presidents (Trump, Milei, Asfura, Noboa), one prime minister (Netanyahu), and an ex-president and drug smuggler (Hernandez), along with many others, are all in on a plot to undermine the elections in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico using a media platform they plan to create in Washington D.C. with the help of their Republican friends. This is arguably one of the biggest geopolitical scandals in recent decades, and Western media isn't covering it. #Hondurasgate is big news everywhere else, especially in Latin America. open.substack.com/pub/extremeart…

Wall Street's Journal says the US should build statues to worship billionaire oligarchs. By the way, the WSJ is owned by oligarch Rupert Murdoch, who has c. $20 billion in wealth. This is the "free" media of the US: free to be used by billionaire oligarchs to brainwash people.

Most people do not realize just how much they should hate the rich. Since 2008 the richest 1% have Quadrupled their wealth. While the other 99% have stayed the same or gotten poorer. YOU should be twice as rich as in 2008, but they have taken it ALL.

70% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare, and there is a genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. Fuck the Met Gala.

It's utterly ridiculous that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around, and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing our personal data to sell us targeted ads.
