Shocking Admission By FBI Veteran Shows Why The FBI Shouldn’t Exist "And ironically, years ago, when I first got into the FBI, one of the missions of the FBI in its counterintelligence efforts was to try and keep these people out of government." #auspol @caityjohnstone/shocking-admission-by-fbi-veteran-shows-why-the-fbi-shouldnt-exist-aa3508483acb" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@caityjohnston…

Israel murdered every single person in this photo today in South Lebanon. Every. Single. One. 2 journalists 7 paramedics 1 Lebanese soldier They bombed the journalists’ vehicle — then bombed them again when paramedics rushed to help.

The US-Israel alliance exists to fix the problems created by its existence. The US and Israel have sown death and destruction throughout the region for generations, creating generation after generation of survivors who hate them and want them gone, and then it cites the existence of people who hate them and want them gone as the reason why the US needs to keep supporting Israel. The US needs to help Israel harm people or else the people who are mad about being harmed might harm Israelis. It's circular reasoning all the way through. Ask an American Israel supporter why it benefits the US to defend Israel, and they'll tell you it advances American interests in the middle east. Ask them what American interests it helps advance in the middle east and they'll tell you it counters the malign influence of Iran and terrorist groups. Ask them to describe exactly what Iran and the terrorist groups are doing which directly harms American interests, and they'll tell you they threaten American troops in the region. Ask them why American troops can't just leave the region to remove the threat, and they'll tell you they can't because that would be abandoning Israel. Ask them why the US can't simply abandon Israel, and they'll tell you it's an important US ally. Ask them to explain why Israel is an important US ally, and they'll tell you it's because it advances American interests in the middle east. The official narrative about the importance of the US-Israel alliance is self-justifying circular reasoning the whole way through, no matter what point you start examining it from. They'll tell you the west needs to support the poor innocent nation of Israel because it gets attacked by evildoers who want to destroy it for no reason. In reality Israel is despised by middle eastern populations because the west dropped a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization and forced it into being through continuous brute military force ever since, and that violence is all Israel's opponents are ever responding to. The west created the violence it claims to be countering. The only argument Israel's defenders in America make which does not rely on circular reasoning and dishonest obfuscation is "The Bible says we gotta give JDAMs to Benjamin Netanyahu." But the argument that permanent war is justified because you think that some book of made-up stories commands you to give military support to a nation that's younger than Dolly Parton does not deserve to be taken seriously. If they were honest they'd just admit that it benefits the US empire's ambitions of total global domination to have a ton of military bases and sympathetic partners in the middle east, which is rich in fossil fuels and critical trade routes. If you knew absolutely nothing about the middle east but understood global military conquest you'd be able to tell that west Asia would be a critical point of geostrategic control just by looking at a globe, since it's the only region on our planet which joins three continents. But they can't admit that, because it would be admitting that all this violence and suffering isn't about promoting the interests of Americans or defending Jews or fighting terrorism or spreading freedom and democracy, and is instead about advancing the interests of a few oligarchs and empire managers with the facilitation of crazy religious beliefs held by Jewish Zionists and Christian Zionists. So they lie and make up stories about why it makes perfect sense for American soldiers to be headed to Iran right now, and why it was entirely reasonable for the US to send genocide weapons to Israel throughout the incineration of the Gaza Strip. It smells like bullshit because that's what it is.

Mehdi Hasan spent years crusading for regime change from Syria to China based on phony State Dept human rights reports that were easily debunked. He zealously celebrated the Al Qaeda takeover of Syria, and has kept quiet ever since about Israeli troops occupying the country while prisons full of ISIS fighters were emptied along Iran's borders. Mehdi is now hyping a bunk regime change narrative to discredit Iran's leadership as they face down a campaign of state destruction imposed by Israel and the US. His source is Amnesty, the EU-backed NGO which legitimized the Kuwaiti incubator babies hoax that enabled the US to launch the First Gulf War on Iraq. On January 8 and 9, Mossad-backed rioters murdered hundreds of police officers, guards and civilians across Iran, while burning down government buildings and mosques. The extensively documented regime change riots provided a bridge between the 12-day-war and the current assault on Iran, and form the blueprint for Israel's stalled plan to destabilize the country from within. At the time, Amnesty described the rioters as "largely peaceful protesters," as though they were staging a lunch counter sit-in. Amnesty also held rallies in Europe throughout January which supported the toppling of Iran's government. Mehdi confidently echoes Amnesty's deceptive language in order to browbeat his interview subject, presenting him as a criminal while his colleagues at Iran's Foreign Ministry face the threat of assassination by Israel. With his deployment of yet another shabby regime change narrative, and his characteristic refusal to acknowledge any facts which might undercut his pre-packaged argument, Mehdi has joined the US-Israeli information war against Iran. None of his virtue signaling about Palestine can deflect from the insidious role he's playing.

@cyberpunkdingo Remember your boy Tarrant?

Weird. 15 people were killed only a few months ago not by any of these groups. More people died before that in a cafe held hostage, also by none of those groups. Australians also didn't get blown up in Kuta, by any of these groups. You weren't run out of a mosque only a few days ago by any of those groups. Your own ASIO director Mike Burgess, also explicitly says Islamic terrorism remains the most dangerous religiously motivated threat in the country. It seems Albanese, and the broader Labor government, are truly hostage to the Islamic voting bloc - even if said bloc produces some of the most violent, dangerous people in the country right now.

@RositaDaz48 @srbaeksa Brenton Tarrant, you utter fool.

@srbaeksa You won’t get an answer because he can’t ..

He’s a fool

@srbaeksa @RositaDaz48 You forgetting Tarrant? He's one of yours, murdered 51 people in cold blood. And he's appealing his conviction, having a hard time in jail. Doesn't think he should be punished. Do you think he should be released?

@RositaDaz48 When did a far right extremist slaughter 15 people in cold bloody……….I’ll wait #PM you weak weasel

@alieWung @GraceBeingTruth @DanBurmawy "You arabs" fuck you racist genocidal war pig. Face it, your delusions became unpopular, people found more compelling delusions. And that was a long time before Mohammed.

@Radguy1 @GraceBeingTruth @DanBurmawy LOL. It's a desolate barren Malaria ridden land. You Arabs have the habit of killing and robbing the Jews since your prophet. 1,400 years, it hasn't changed. Taqiyyas, lies, thievery, massacres, child sacrifice ----> those are the things you're good at. x.com/i/status/20369…

A group of Zionist invaders preparing to occupy the prosperous Palestinian city of Tel Aviv in the state of Palestine in 1907.

The U.N. General Assembly has adopted a draft resolution that unequivocally condemns the trafficking of enslaved Africans and the transatlantic slave trade as the most inhumane and enduring injustice against humanity. 123 in favour 3 Against (USA, Israel, Argentina) 52 abstentions The resolution also seeks to recognize the profound and lasting impacts of the abhorrent regimes of slavery and colonialism and emphasizes that claims for reparations represent a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs against Africans and people of African descent. #sabcnews

@LrNwcr84835 @seanhannity @realDonaldTrump All you know is violence, meathead. No surprises how you'd treat any woman silly enough to be with you.

@seanhannity Iran fires 1 more missile at the Gulf States then order that Tehran be evacuated. Iran prepare to have Tehran leveled, along with power & water. Then another city & another city until Iran comes around with a clear head. @realDonaldTrump

POST OP-ED: Allies are Lining Up Behind Trump to Open the Strait of Hormuz — Cue the Media Fury hannity.com/media-room/pos…

As soon as you accept that Israel must exist as a "Jewish state" no matter what, you are accepting that there will never be peace in the middle east. Because Israel cannot exist as it is without nonstop violence. Show a Zionist a map where Israel does not exist as a Jewish state and a map where the entire middle east is on fire except for Israel, and then ask them to pick a future, and they'll pick the second one every time. That's the worldview that's baked into Zionism. The worldview you're not supposed to bring up in mainstream discourse about the Zionist ideology. You're not supposed to mention the demented murderousness inherent in the premise that Israel must exist as a Jewish ethnonationalist state no matter how many people need to be killed in order to make that happen. But that's the reality. It's a simple matter of historical record that Israel cannot exist without continuous violence and abuse. That's not my opinion, that's historical fact. There has never been a modern state of Israel which does not constantly kill and abuse its native population and the inhabitants of neighboring countries. And the typical Zionist response to such criticisms is to blame everyone but themselves. It's the fault of the Palestinians, the Arab nations, the Iranians etc, because they refused to tolerate the west's imposition of a brand new ethnostate dropped on top of a pre-existing population who became victims of mass displacement and apartheid as soon as it was created. But nobody has ever been able to provide me with a convincing argument why the original inhabitants of the region ever should have accepted this arrangement. They've never been able to put me in the shoes of a Palestinian in the 1940s and lay out a reason why I should have been fine with the things that were happening to me and my people. Nobody has ever been able to provide me with a convincing argument why the Muslims of west Asia should not have stood in solidarity with the Palestinians and their plight. The only solid argument they've ever given me is "They should have laid down and submitted, because that's what was required in order for the Israelis to stop killing and abusing them." And that's still the only argument they've got to this very day: that the Palestinians and their neighbors should lie down and submit to the existence of this genocidal apartheid state that was inserted into their homeland like a glass shard into a foot. But the fact of the matter is that they did not lie down and submit. Many Arabs did out of sheer self-preservation, but many did not. You can tell me they should have given up and submitted, but that's just arguing with reality. That's not a solution, it's just whining about the inevitable. And this is where that leaves today. Israel and its allies butchering human beings throughout the middle east, creating countless war orphans who are naturally going to grow up desiring violent retribution. Generation after generation Israel creates the violence it pretends to be defending itself from, all because it was decided that there must be a "Jewish state" in historic Palestine no matter what needs to be done in order to accomplish this. And Zionists are fine with this. They don't care if the entire middle east is turned into an ocean of fire so long as the Israelis are still dancing to their electronic music in the middle of it. That's what this slogan "Israel has a right to exist" really means. It means Israel and its allies have a right to keep the middle east in a nonstop state of war, and the strongest argument for why this must be the case is that some dead guys made some stuff up and put it in a book thousands of years ago. At a certain point you need to admit that this is a psychopathic status quo which cannot be allowed to stand, and that anyone who supports it is complicit in the bloodshed. The ethnonationalist apartheid state of Israel must be dismantled. People's various religious objections to this statement must be disregarded as infantile tantrums made by adults who believe silly fairy tales. A wildly different status quo needs to be established from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Because the alternative is a middle east that exists in a permanent state of nonstop violence and chaos.

@GraceBeingTruth @DanBurmawy Who are you to say the land was "discarded"? It wasn't owned by the Ottoman, it was occupied. "later welcoming productive, peaceful people." After terrorising and murdering native Palestinians to steal their land.

@DanBurmawy Land discarded by the Ottoman empire & credit to whom created it: These Zionists, nurtured the land; structured irrigation to grow food. They set up homesteads; an oasis-like environment for their families, later welcoming productive, peaceful people. vintag.es/2018/05/foundi…

It's disgusting that this is the closest thing to a mass-scale antiwar protest in the United States right now. The problem with these "No Kings" protests is right there in the title. They're saying "We don't want a king, we want a president!" But Donald Trump is not a king. He is a president. And that's the real problem: US presidents are extremely evil men who do extremely evil things. Donald Trump is a US president who is doing US president things. US presidents consistently murder people with unforgivable acts of mass military violence, mistreat immigrants and marginalized communities, and promote tyranny for the benefit of corrupting special interests in defense of the US empire and the capitalist status quo. That's what their job is. If they weren't willing to do these things, they wouldn't get the job. Trump is not some freakish aberration; he is the product of the same American political status quo as his predecessors. He became president the same way they did, and the powers he now wields were given to his office via mundane executive, legislative and judicial decisions and precedents before he was ever elected. But because the "No Kings" protests are organized by liberal defenders of that same political status quo, the demonstrations cannot address any of this. The whole thing is designed to be as large and inclusive as possible while also ensuring that it doesn't disrupt the established order in any meaningful way. They make no real demands. They coordinate the demonstrations with police and government officials. Protesters show up for a few hours with their brunch signs and their orange guy shirts, and then they go home without inconveniencing anybody. They are not protesting against the US empire. They just want a more polite, photogenic empire. They are not protesting the corrupt oligarchic political system which gave rise to Donald Trump. They just want the corrupt oligarchic political system to give rise to presidents who make them feel less uncomfortable. The problem is US presidents, not kings. The problem is the US empire, not Trump. The United States needs drastic, revolutionary change, not daytime protests designed to be as inoffensive as possible. As long as Americans are protesting against fictional monarchies and easily replaceable oligarchic puppets instead of resisting the actual imperial machine, the abuses are going to continue. The war in Iran is the most obviously evil American war in generations. People should be flooding the streets in every major US city. Washington DC should be on fire. Soldiers should be deserting en masse. Instead we're seeing these stupid fluffy lib theater conventions where people get together to do nothing. Americans of conscience should be feeling deeply embarrassed right now.

If the US were a normal country with a normal military it could just walk away from Iran whenever it wants. But because it's running an empire with military bases throughout the middle east, this war is only over when Iran says it's over. Iran can keep hitting those bases as long as it has missiles and drones to launch. Tehran knows it needs to impose severe costs on the United States or else it's just going to get bombed again in a year or two, so even if Trump "declares victory" and says the war is over it can keep hammering those bases while imposing economic costs with the Strait of Hormuz blockade for as long as it likes. Basically it appears the US has three options: 1. Dramatically escalate and find some way to secure total victory. 2. Pull out and just let Iran smash the US military bases in the region until it decides a sufficient price has been paid. 3. Completely withdraw from the middle east. All of which would come at extreme cost to the empire. We live in interesting times.

@yankeexpatriate @ggreenwald @turtletownnn "that totally outweighs the other 75 years" You're demanding acceptance of a bullshit premise, that's what you mean by missing the point. All you've got holding your politics together is lies, blackmail, bribery and violence, hence your inability to argue honestly.

@ggreenwald @turtletownnn This is you, missing the point.

The people who went to Cuba to show Americans what the US's stranglehold is sadistically doing to the people who live there did something positive and noble, no matter their other flaws. The US should stop choking Cuba as it's been doing for 65 years. What's the point of this?

The only worthwhile “western culture” in modern times is culture which rejects and opposes the dystopian nature of western civilization and the abuses of the western empire. Western civilization is what’s bombing Iran. It’s what’s strangling Cuba. It’s what’s torching Lebanon. It’s what’s exterminating Palestine. It’s what stole Venezuela. It’s what’s plundering the labor and resources of the global south. It’s what’s keeping the systems in place which are killing our ecosystem and driving us closer to nuclear armageddon. There is no sane and truthful position to have toward all this but vehement rejection. Westerners — particularly white westerners in nations with colonialist histories like the United States and Australia — often struggle to find their cultural moorings. It can be difficult to find an authentic position from which to express art and take your stand as a personality when you feel culturally rootless and historically ungrounded. It causes a kind of dissonance with our lives that can haunt us until we die. The best way to resolve this dissonance is to take your stand in opposition to the perverse society into which you were born. Express from the standpoint of resistance to this horrifying nightmare civilization that is fueled by human blood. We live in a sick and intensely mind-controlled dystopia where everything is fake and stupid. Mainstream culture is a nonstop celebration of the vapid and inane. The movies glorify cops and soldiers. The music exalts capitalism, consumerism, egotism and frivolity. The products are made by wage slaves and the fuel is obtained by war. The food is designed to reap profits rather than to nourish. The news media is designed to propagandize rather than to inform. It’s a disgusting civilization, to be honest. The more you learn about it, the more repulsive it becomes. How could anyone relate to the human experience from inside this hellscape in a truth-based way, except by opposition? The only way to participate in “western culture” is to help create a new kind of culture which stands squarely in opposition to it. As Terence McKenna once said, “We have to create culture. Don’t watch TV. Don’t read magazines. Don’t even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow… Reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.” The only way to create culture with sincerity in this dystopia is by forcefully rejecting its fraudulence and abusiveness, and embracing revolution and resistance. To do anything else is to give tacit approval to the horrific nature of this civilization, and it will always ring a bit hollow and dissonant, because it is ignoring the elephant in the room. The elephant in the room is the unacceptable depravity and deceit that’s going on all around us. So if you want to make art, make revolutionary art. If you want to express yourself, express your defiance of the western empire. Oppose the wars. Oppose the militarism. Oppose the imperialism, the ecocide, the injustice, the tyranny. That’s the only way to be authentic in an inauthentic society.

@barkmeta Iran Blasts Trump’s Claims of Direct Talks as “Fake News” Aimed at Manipulating Markets substack.com/app-link/post?…

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
