These scumbags are at it again. While you're scrolling through your little screens thinking the news is real, they are spinning a goddamn web of lies. The billionaire media machine is lying to you, and the fascist government is laughing at your expense. This is not news, this is a fucking propaganda blitz. You want the truth? The truth is buried under a mountain of fake reports and corporate censorship. Today on the Anti Social Socialist, we are ripping off the bandages. We are exposing the lies of the oligarchs and the war crimes of the imperialists. And we are doing it with the energy of a punk rock band screaming in your face. Welcome to the show, where the only thing we care about is the working class, the people, and destroying this fascist system. Let's get to it. First up, check out the geopolitical circus in the Middle East. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a group that stands against the imperialist occupiers, has come out and denied they carried out strikes on Saudi oil facilities. The Saudi warlords, the billionaires of the Gulf, are screaming about Iranian-backed militias. They want the world to believe it's some grand conspiracy, but the reality is much simpler. It's about control. It's about who owns the energy grid. The Islamic Resistance said these allegations only strengthen our conviction that hostility towards Iraq and its people is an inherent characteristic of the ruling class in the region. That is a motherfucker right there. They know the real threat is not from the resistance, it is from the puppet masters pulling the strings. Now, while the American empire plays games in Tehran, let's look at what is actually happening on the ground. The Islamic Resistance is fighting for sovereignty, and the fascist machine in Riyadh wants to strangle their economy. It is a clear case of economic imperialism, and the mainstream media in the US is eating it up like it's free bread. They don't tell you that the strikes are a tactic of defense, not aggression. And while you watch the fake news on your television, the real war is being waged on the streets of Baghdad and Riyadh. This is the game they play, and we are playing back. Now, let's move to Sudan, where the humanitarian crisis is deepening. Drone strikes and abuse are rocking the city of El-Obeid as the conflict intensifies. The Sudanese army claims they have gained control of the Al Sadarat highway, which is a key military supply route, effectively blocking the siege. But in response, the RSF, the Rapid Support Forces, those fascist mercenaries funded by foreign powers, have increased their drone strikes. Hundreds of thousands of people are still stuck in the city, living in hell. Where does the money come from? Where does the ammunition come from? It comes from the fascist machine that profits from war. The BBC is reporting on the deaths, but they are not asking why the war started. They are not asking who is supplying the drones. The Falken intelligence pipeline detected a cluster of disinformation operations on social media trying to frame the Sudanese army as aggressors when they are actually the ones defending their people. The RSF is the fascist wing of the coup, and they are using civilian populations as human shields. While the US media spins a fairy tale about "stabilization," the reality is a massacre. This is not a civil war, this is a resource grab. The oil and gold of Sudan are what the international cartels want. And the people? They are just collateral damage. That is the real agenda. That is the truth the capitalist pigs want you to ignore. Now, here is where it gets wild, and it connects directly to the tech industry and the military industrial complex. The Philippines is seeking coders, hackers, and cybersecurity specialists for their military. The defense secretary ordered the armed forces to expand a program that allows civilian professionals to join as commissioned officers. You think this is about defending the country? This is about preparing for cyberwar. This is about turning your neighbors into enemies with a few lines of code. The Philippines is confronting a battlefield shaped by software and artificial intelligence. This is the new normal, and the media is too dumb to see it. They talk about "cybersecurity" but they don't talk about cyberwarfare. They don't talk about how the big tech companies are already part of the military machine. They are building a digital army to fight the working class in the digital realm. The Falken system picked up chatter on Mastodon and Bluesky about fear-mongering around this topic. The right wing trolls are screaming that this will be a "career killer" for civilians, but the real killer is the privatization of the military. They want to turn your skills against your own people. This is exactly what the fascist machine wants. They want to militarize every aspect of life. From the streets of El-Obeid to the servers of Manila, the war is coming to you. Let's talk about Argentina. Over nine million workers are now informally employed. Even though unemployment levels remain almost unchanged, the wear is beginning to show in job quality. Specialists warn that the involvement of young women is growing, but mostly in informal employment. This is the cancer of capitalism. This is debt slavery. You work for a dollar a day, you don't pay taxes, you have no rights, and the billionaires laugh all the way to the bank. The Buenos Aires Times is reporting on this, and it is a disaster. The informal economy is not a choice, it is a necessity forced upon you by the fascist policies of the government. They cut benefits, they cut wages, and they push you into the shadows. And the international banks? They are the ones laughing. The IMF is telling you to "reform," which means they want to crush your unions and destroy your wages. This is class war, and you are the ones bleeding. The rich get richer, and the poor get pushed into the streets. This is the reality of the capitalist system, and the media is too scared to talk about it. They prefer to talk about the weather and the price of eggs while your brothers and sisters starve. Meanwhile, we have this absolute joke in Washington. Donald Trump says the US and Tehran are having "good talks" as drones hit Iran's neighbors. The Daily Maverick is reporting that he warned U.S. strikes would resume if negotiations fail. The irony is thick enough to cut with a knife. He claims to be negotiating peace while the bombs are falling. This is the standard fascist playbook. Threaten, then negotiate, then threaten again. The drones are hitting the people, and the politicians are playing chess on a screen. The Falk... [Full transcript at asscast.org]</description>
