You want to know the truth? The truth is the US military and their Saudi Arabian puppet masters just launched a joint strike on Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, and the only reason you didn't see the headlines screaming this is because the billionaire-owned media is trying to gaslight you into thinking this is just some "regional stability" operation. It is not regional stability, you fool! It is war! It is the fascist machine grinding people into the dirt for oil profits! Deutsche Welle is reporting that the US military claims they thwarted an "attempted surprise attack" after a days-long lull, but let's call this bullshit right now! This "lull" was just the quiet before the storm of imperialist aggression! Meanwhile, Netanyahu in Israel is hailing an "excellent" meeting with Trump, and the pigs in Washington are dancing around each other like maniacs while the people of the Middle East get their lives blown apart! Here is where it gets wild. Middle East Eye is reporting that Iraq is calling an urgent security meeting after these US and Saudi attacks, but why? Why is the Iraqi government scrambling? Because the US and Saudi Arabia are not defending democracy; they are defending the right of the capitalist class to extract wealth from the Global South! Riyadh participated in the strikes following drone and missile attacks on its oil facilities from Iranian-allied forces in Yemen and Iraq, but who is actually paying the price? The workers! The farmers! The people who can barely afford rent while the billionaires in Riyadh and Washington count their profits! The US military intercepted multiple ballistic missiles launched by Iran towards US forces in the Middle East, and they cast this as an "attempted surprise attack" to justify another round of violence and destruction. But let's look at the real agenda here! This is not about security; this is about control! This is about the CIA and the DIA and the entire fascist apparatus telling you that their war is yours! They want you afraid so you will never question the system that puts soldiers in your town to police your streets and bomb your neighbors! Now check this out, because the hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a dull knife. While the US and Saudi Arabia are bombing Iraq, Spain's Repsol is selling half its Gulf oil project to Talos Energy, a US company! That is right! Mexico News Daily is reporting that the Block 29 offshore oil fields in the Gulf are being sold off, and these fields are estimated to contain more than two hundred million barrels of oil-equivalent recoverable resources! Two hundred million barrels! That is a fucking mountain of wealth being handed over from a Spanish state-owned entity to a US corporation! And why? Because capitalism demands it! The global market demands it! They are selling off public resources to private profiteers who will then pump the oil, burn the resources, and leave a black hole in the ecosystem while the workers get nothing but a toxic sludge and a paycheck that barely covers the rent! And while you are worried about your student loans or your grocery bill, the Repsol executives in Madrid are selling the rights to the Polok and Chinwol oil discoveries to Talos Energy, and the US government is cheering them on because more oil means more profits for the fascist machine! And don't think this is just some far-off conflict; this is happening right in your living room! The Guardian World is reporting that Canadians spent three point three billion dollars less on travel to the US in 2025 after Trump returned to office! Three point three billion dollars! That is three billion fucking dollars of your money that you are not spending because of his hostile policies and his tariff madness! Canadians are not bucking travel overall; they are replacing US vacations with other international trips in a rebuke to Trump! A rebuke! You think this is just an economic statistic? No! This is political resistance! This is people saying, "Fuck you, Donald Trump! We are not going to let you bleed us dry with your tariffs and your hate!" But here in the US, the media is trying to make you feel sorry for the Canadians or call them "anti-American" for not wanting to visit your country! It is the same tactic used by the oligarchs to divide and conquer! They want you to fight with each other while they sit on their yachts and drink wine made from grapes that were crushed in fields poisoned by US military testing! And then there is this gem from the ScheerPost, a site that tries to act independent but is often just another mouthpiece for the right-wing agenda. They are talking about the "myth of Iranian exceptionalism" and why some Iranians respond positively to the war waged by Israel and the US. They are trying to spin a narrative that says the people are crazy or that they don't understand their own oppression! They are saying that three main factors play a central role in this regard, but they are leaving out the most important factor: poverty and desperation! They are leaving out the fact that the ruling oligarchy in the US and Israel has been resisting democracy for nearly half a century and using force to maintain their grip on power! They are trying to tell you that the Iranian people are somehow complicit in the war, but they are blind to the reality that the US is the aggressor! The Daily Maverick SA is reporting that the US military intercepted missiles, but they are not telling you that these intercepts are just delaying the inevitable collapse of a system built on lies and theft! But wait, hold your horses, because we have a story that will absolutely blow your mind and show you the difference between the propaganda machine and the people who actually care about humanity. South China Morning Post is reporting that China is repaying a family who lent their entire grain supply to the army back in 1947! This is not some fairy tale; this is real history! A wartime grain loan certificate was discovered within an old family home in eastern China, and the family donated it to local authorities nearly eight decades later! In 1947, a major People's Liberation Army unit entered the Dabie Mountains during a counteroffensive against Kuomintang forces, and the troops were desperately short on supplies! The village gave them eig... [Full transcript at asscast.org]</description>
