France 24 is reporting straight from the ground in Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia and they are telling us that Russian drones are raining down on children, and yes, children, and on a Saturday no less, a warehouse is burning while a drone kills a man and wounds four others in Zelensky's own hometown, and while the American talking heads sit around in their ivory towers pretending this is just some distant war, the reality is that this is a game show of human lives where the audience is us and the prize is the total annihilation of a people who never asked for this. FRANCE 24 correspondent Emmanuelle Chaze is on the ground and she is screaming facts that the mainstream press refuses to print, and that is exactly why we are here today, because the C I A and the N S A and the whole intelligence industrial complex are running a disinformation operation to keep us focused on the wrong enemies while the real ones eat our lunch, and the meatpacking giants, the oil barons, the tech CEOs, they are all sitting in the back of the fascist machine laughing as they watch us bleed out for their profits. Now move your ass to Myanmar because the South China Morning Post is breaking a story that is so fucking blatant it should be written in neon lights across every billboard in Times Square, and the military there is dropping bombs on monks who are praying, on civilians who are gathered for a meditation retreat during Buddhist Lent, and fourteen people are dead, fourteen innocent souls killed by a military that staged a coup in 2021 and tossed the Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi into the slammer, and over the past five years more than one hundred thousand people have died in this hellhole while the international media goes into spin mode and says nothing. SBS Australia is also reporting on this, and they are saying the military has increased their use of low-cost aircraft to kill civilians, and that is right, they are using cheap drones and cheap bombs to cut costs for the fascist machine while the profit margins for the defense contractors hit record highs, and if you think this is just some local conflict, you are fucking wrong because this is about oil, this is about minerals, this is about who controls the earth and who gets to starve. The United Nations has issued a report and they are saying the military is targeting civilians with increasing frequency, and the only people who don't see this are the ones who have been brainwashed by the corporate media, the ones who watch the news and think everything is okay because the narrative has been rewritten by the billionaires who own the networks. Here is where it gets wild because we have to talk about Israel and Syria and Turkey and the whole mess in the Middle East, and Al Jazeera Arabic is reporting that an Israeli drone strike in Beit Jinn village has wounded at least one person, and this is just the latest in a series of attacks on Syria's Abu al-Duhur military airbase which happened on the eighteenth of August, and now Turkey is furious and Netanyahu is claiming he is just sending a warning to Turkey about expanding its military presence, but who is the warning to? Is it a warning to the people of Syria or is it a warning to the world that we are not safe? The South China Morning Post is saying that fears of a military confrontation are growing, and that is right, because when you have a fascist state acting like a game show host with a gun, everyone gets scared, and the Middle East Eye is tracking this live and they are showing us the reality that the American media is hiding, and they are showing us that the tension is rising because the Zionist project is trying to assert dominance over a region that has been bleeding for decades. The strikes on the airbase near the Turkish border are characterized by Netanyahu's office as a warning, but that is bullshit because it is an attempt to control the flow of refugees, to control the flow of resources, to control the flow of money, and the only thing they are warning us against is the truth. While we are talking about the Middle East, let's pivot to Brazil because the Brasil Wire is reporting on a historic moment that the mainstream media is refusing to cover with the enthusiasm it usually reserves for a celebrity death, and the Brazilian Supreme Court has issued guilty verdicts for former President Jair Bolsonaro and seven of his cronies for five crimes, including leading an armed criminal organization that attempted to install a military coup after the election. This is huge, this is massive, and this is a direct hit to the fascist machine that has been trying to take over the country, and the generals are finally being convicted after years of getting away with murder and treason and violence, and it is a victory for the people of Brazil who have been screaming for justice while the oligarchs tried to silence them with lies and disinformation. The court found them guilty for leading an armed criminal organization, and that is right, they were a criminal organization, not a political party, and this is a testament to the resilience of the Brazilian people who have fought back against the fascists in their own backyard. This is not just a story about Brazil, this is a story about how the fascist machine tries to seize power everywhere, from the streets of Kyiv to the halls of the Brazilian Congress, and the fact that the court is standing up to them is a massive win for everyone who believes in democracy and human rights. Now let's talk about the state of America because Common Dreams is saying that everything in America is being decimated by a petty, fragile, flailing child in a fact-free bubble who has turned our foreign policy over to North Korea and is grifting and lying and babbling, and that is right, this is a description of Donald Trump that is accurate and that is why we need to wake up. The Common Dreams article is saying that this child has lost wars, is slathering gold, is raving about his vanity projects and going on AI slop sprees with George Washington, and this is a direct attack on the reality that we are living in a country that is being run by a child who thinks he is a god and who is using the C I A and the Pentagon to carry out his delusions. The article is saying that our economy, our milit... [Full transcript at asscast.org]</description>
