You think you are listening to news? No, man, you are listening to a fascist machine selling you a fake reality while the C I A runs the show from the shadows. I am NodeZ3r0 and this is The Anti Social Socialist. Welcome to the only place where we tell the truth the billionaire media won't dare print. Let's get right into the shitshow of the week. First up, check out what Euronews is reporting from Europe. They say the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, just announced she is releasing one point four billion euros to Ukraine. But here is the catch, and it is not a pretty one. This money comes from frozen Russian asset profits. These are the profits of looting, right? And who benefits? The G7! The very same rich nations that are demanding loans from Kyiv while the pigs in the Russian army are bombing the city with deadly strikes. The majority of this cash is going to repay G7 and EU loans! That is right, the workers in Ukraine are bleeding on the battlefield so the bankers in London and Brussels can pay off their credit cards. Only seventy million of that sickening sum is actually going toward military assistance. The rest is for the debt! It is a classic play of the global capitalist game. They freeze the assets of a nation, then sell the blood money to prop up their own collapsing economies. It is theft on a massive scale. Von der Leyen is a tool of the system, nothing more. She thinks she is saving the world while she is just shuffling the deck for the one percent. And while this is happening, the C I A is watching, nodding along, because debt slavery is their favorite game. They want you to think it is humanitarian aid, but it is just war funding for the imperialist machine. Now, moving on to Asia and something much more terrifying that the mainstream outlets are trying to bury. The South China Morning Post is breaking the story about Chinese military researchers warning that underwater submarine cables are a disaster waiting to happen. Ninety-nine percent of the global data flows through these cables, the digital lifeblood of humanity, and they are sitting in the ocean like a goldmine for anyone with a drone. The PLA scientists say the barrier to entry for undersea warfare is lowering. They are calling it a new arena for great power rivalry. Imagine this: a low-cost drone drops a torpedo into the Pacific, severs the cable, and suddenly your bank transactions, your medical records, your entire digital existence is frozen. Who owns that power? The state. The state always wants the power to kill your connection. While the West screams about freedom, China is looking at the seabed and seeing a strategic blind spot that is no longer blind. It is a target. And if the Americans or Israelis decide to attack these lines, the whole world goes dark. That is the reality of the digital age. You are not connected; you are vulnerable. The rich countries are building a fortress around their data, leaving the rest of us exposed. This is not science fiction, this is the next step in the war against the people. Let's shift gears to something even weirder coming out of Africa and the Daily Maverick. They are reporting on Taiwan launching major war games. These drills are designed to test commanders' ability to fight on the fly when things go wrong, which is always, but here is the kicker. They are temporarily limiting internet access for the first time during the drills. Can you believe that? They are practicing how to cut off the internet. Why? Because the system knows that information is a weapon. If you control the flow of data, you control the narrative. They are testing the ability to shut the world out, to create a blackout where the enemy cannot see, hear, or speak. And who is the enemy? The people. The system is always testing its ability to impose silence. While they call it a drill, it is a rehearsal for total control. The internet is not a right, it is a utility, and they are practicing how to turn the lights off. It is a chilling reminder that our freedom of speech is always one power outage away from disappearing. Now, let's go back to the US and the absolute insanity coming out of the White House. CounterPunch is reporting on Trump's insane resumption of the Iran War. The Beltway Einsteins in the White House are acting like geniuses, but they are just confused children playing with fire. They think they can bomb the C I A targets from Ukraine and just magically solve everything. But as journalist Mark Ames noted on X, maybe those Russkies are assisting Iran in targeting US bases in the Gulf. I have news for these morons: China is helping Iran! They are building the missiles, they are providing the training, and the US is just sitting there playing the role of the angry bully. It is a game of chess, but the US is playing with checkers and thinks it is winning. The war is not about democracy, it is about oil and empire. They want to keep the markets open and the profits flowing. Every bomb dropped is just a line item on a spreadsheet for Lockheed Martin. While they talk about "lessons learned," they are just repeating the same mistakes over and over again. The C I A runs the wars, the politicians get the credit, and the workers pay the price. It is a circle of hell, and nobody is escaping. And speaking of hell, let's talk about the Middle East and what Middle East Eye is saying. The UN says Iran has executed at least fifty-six people since March. This is just the number, the real number is probably higher because the C I A is covering it up. The UN human rights chief, Volker Turk, is begging them to stop. He is calling for an end to the death penalty, but the system does not care. These executions are often linked to protests at the start of the year. They are crushing dissent with a heavy boot. While the Western media is pretending these are "human rights issues" they are really just trying to keep the oil flowing. The regime is a brutal police state, and the West is too cowardly to intervene because it needs the energy. It is a choice between freedom and profit, and the system always picks profit. The pigs in charge are terrified of a revolution, so they are killing anyone who dares to speak up. It is a slaughter, and we are watching it happen on our televisions. Now let's jump to Latin America and look at what is happening ...
