According to Euronews in Europe, the game show host is back in charge of the circus, and the prize is nothing but a recession for the little people. Crude oil prices have skyrocketed more than six percent, climbing to a two-week high just because Donald Trump decided to declare the interim accord with Iran over. Bullshit! That is a lie told by the fascist machine to pump the gas pump prices up and put you on a diet you didn't agree to. While he is sitting in his penthouse talking about a ceasefire, fresh US military strikes are renewing concerns about oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. The pigs are moving again, they are patrolling the waters, and they are threatening the very lifeline of the global economy. European stock markets are sliding, crashing down like a drunkard hitting the floor, and you wonder why? Because the billionaire owners of the oil industry are laughing all the way to the bank. They don't care about your car, they don't care about your bus ride, they don't care about your ability to get to work. They care about the profit margin, and that margin is being inflated by the fear they are manufacturing. The US government is using the threat of war to justify higher prices, to justify the military-industrial complex spending trillions of dollars of your hard-earned tax money. It is a racket, a pure and simple racket. The C I A and the Pentagon are working in tandem to keep you in debt slavery, and this oil spike is just the latest payment you owe to the system. Moving on, because we are not done with the carnage, let us talk about Bahrain. Middle East Eye is reporting that explosions are being heard across the island state, and authorities are sounding air raid sirens to warn of an attack. This is not random violence, comrades, this is strategic aggression. Iran says any site enabling a US attack is a legitimate target, and they are right. The US bases in Bahrain are the launch pads for missiles that threaten the region, and when Iran fires back, it is the little guy defending himself against the giant bully. Several blasts were heard in the north of the island, and this is the first incident since Bahrain reported intercepting Iranian drones and missiles on June 28. The pigs in the US are bombing civilians, they are bombing infrastructure, and they expect the rest of the world to just stand there and take it. But the people are waking up. They are realizing that the war in the Middle East is not about freedom, it is about control. It is about who owns the oil, who controls the water, and who decides who lives and who dies. And the US is the ultimate fascist machine in this equation, using its nuclear arsenal and its military bases to enforce its will on the developing world. Now check this out, because the war in Ukraine is evolving in ways the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge. The South China Morning Post is saying that Russian forces are deploying powerful jammers to disrupt Starlink in their war against Ukraine's drones. This is the next stage of the conflict, and it is a direct attack on your ability to stay connected. Ukrainian drone commanders and pilots have said that Russia is camouflaging cargoes and installing powerful jamming systems to disrupt Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet system. The West is trying to win the information war, to keep you in the dark while the fascists bomb your neighborhoods. Kyiv's development of mid-strike drones that can hit targets dozens of kilometers behind front lines accurately and cheaply has transformed the war. These are the people's weapons, built by the workers and the engineers, not by the billionaire defense contractors who charge you thousands of dollars for a missile that blows up a school. And now Russia is fighting back, not just with tanks, but with technology. They are jamming your internet, they are cutting off your connection, and they are showing that the American empire is fragile when you attack its digital infrastructure. This is class war in the twenty-first century, and the billionaires are losing their grip on the narrative. And then there is this gem, because history is being rewritten by the fascists. ScheerPost is reporting on the confrontation with the Palestine Exception of the American Historical Association. Juan Cole is speaking up, and he is not alone. Amid pivotal elections underway, a growing coalition of historians are demanding accountability for war crimes in Gaza and election interference at the oldest historical association in the United States. The AHA was founded in 1884, a time of continuing dispossession, displacement, and assault on Indigenous peoples, and they have never learned a damn thing since. They are protecting the narrative of the empire, they are whitewashing the history of genocide, and they are lying to the young people about what is happening in Palestine. The American Historical Association is part of the fascist machine, and they are trying to bury the truth about the war crimes committed by the US and its allies. These historians are demanding justice, they are demanding accountability, and they are fighting against the propaganda that fills your head. But do not expect the mainstream media to cover this story, because the lie is more profitable than the truth. Here is where it gets wild, because the sellout goes international. Brasil Wire is reporting that Flávio Bolsonaro is endangering Brazil's sovereignty and democracy by offering the country to the United States. Not only is this proposed sellout abhorrent, it is illegal. By Marcelo Zero, the article details the generous offer made by candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, officially recorded in a letter from Marco Rubio, to provide the current US administration with a transition team should he be elected. This is treason, this is a crime against the people of Brazil. The US is trying to turn Brazil into a colony, into another resource extraction site for the imperialist project. Flávio Bolsonaro is a piece of shit who will sell out his own people for a few votes and a bit of American money. This is what happen... [Full transcript at asscast.org]</description>
