Welcome to The Ass Cast, where we don’t sugarcoat — we blow up the whole damn house and light it on fire. [STORY 1] Let’s start with the one and only — Elon Musk. The guy who thinks he’s a prophet, a tech savior, and somehow, a democrat. But here’s the kicker: Brasil Wire is saying he’s running a full-blown far-right propaganda blitz in Brazil — and this ain’t just a whisper. This is a full-on digital proto-coup, straight outta 2013, but now with more billionaire-backed lies and less hope. He’s not just a rich guy — he’s a fascist in a tuxedo. And guess what? He’s got the whole right-wing of Brazil eating outta his hand. He’s the one pulling the strings, and the Brazilian judiciary is finally calling him out on it. [PAUSE] [STORY 2] Now, over in Europe, RFI is reporting on France’s Medef — the employers’ union — and their economic diplomacy in Algeria. Sounds nice, right? But what the hell does that mean for the people? It means more French influence, more exploitation, and less actual help for the working class. They’re not just talking about trade — they’re talking about power. And it ain’t the kind that helps you — it’s the kind that keeps the rich in charge. While they’re talking about "savagery" in tariff wars, they’re ignoring the fact that the people in Algeria are getting screwed over by both sides. [PAUSE] [STORY 3] Here’s a local disaster — Joburg, South Africa. The finance minister, Enoch Godongwana, just sent a letter to the mayor — and it’s not a compliment. He says the city is in severe financial distress because of that goddamn wage deal. You think it’s just a bad budget? No. It’s a systemic failure. The ruling class is bleeding the city dry, and the workers are the ones left holding the bag. This is capitalism — pure, unadulterated, rotten capitalism. [PAUSE] [STORY 4] Now, here’s a shocker: the US and Iran are finalizing a 14-point memorandum to end the war. According to Middle East Eye, it’s happening — and Pakistan is the mediator. But let’s not get too excited. This isn’t about peace — it’s about control. The US wants to keep its grip on the region, and Iran wants to look like a reasonable player. But in the end, it’s the same old game — a game where the working class doesn’t get a seat at the table. [PAUSE] [STORY 5] One hundred years ago, the London docks went on strike — and it nearly brought the city to its knees. Jacobin is reporting on it, and it’s a reminder of what can happen when people stand up. But don’t think for a second that the powers that be let them win. The cops cracked down, the conservatives shut them down, and the workers got the short end of the stick. But their fight didn’t go unnoticed. It shaped the whole labor movement. [PAUSE] [STORY 6] Now let’s go to China. South China Morning Post is reporting that the party boss of Hefei — a growing tech hub — is under investigation for corruption. But this ain’t just about one guy. This is Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign, and it’s a show of force. But here’s the thing: even as they’re cleaning up the mess, the system remains intact. The corruption is just being moved — not erased. [PAUSE] [STORY 7] And here’s a local story that’s easy to ignore — Melbourne’s Fed Square is scrapping World Cup screenings because of “antisocial behavior.” Sounds like a cop-out, right? But here’s the truth: it’s not the games that are the problem — it’s the system that turns fans into mobs. And when the powers that be can’t control the chaos, they just cancel it. [PAUSE] [STORY 8] Back in Brazil, Brasil Wire is saying that Elon Musk’s X ban is about sovereignty, not free speech. And they’re right. This ain’t just about censorship — it’s about control. Musk is a far-right puppet, and he’s been inciting fascist elements in Brazil. But now, the judiciary is taking a stand. And that’s a win — even if it’s a small one. [PAUSE] [FALKEN INTELLIGENCE] Now let’s look at what the bots are doing. Falken’s catching high-threat disinformation ops — ones that are using false authority, loaded language, and emotional manipulation. The Trump narrative is on the rise again, and it’s being pushed by bots on Truth Social and Reddit. But here’s the twist: the real news — from Brasil Wire, RFI, and Jacobin — is telling a different story. The media’s lying to you, and the bots are helping them. [PAUSE] [CALL TO ACTION] So here’s the deal, y’all — the system is rigged. The media is owned by the same people who control the government. And if you don’t stand up, you’ll be the ones left holding the bag. But you don’t have to be a victim. You can fight back. You can organize. You can speak truth. So go to wikipedia — not the corporate one. Go to Mastodon. Go to Bluesky. Follow the real journalists — the ones who aren’t paid to lie. And if you’re watching this, and you’re ready to fight, then hit that link in the description. Join the Ass Cast community. Because if we don’t stand up — nobody will. [OUTRO] This is NodeZ3r0 — and I won’t let you be brainwashed. Stay sharp, stay angry, and keep fighting.
