Welcome to The Anti Social Socialist, the only place where we tell the truth about the fascist machine running this world. I am NodeZ3r0, and today we are ripping the bandage off. We are talking about war, debt, and the global elite playing chess with our lives as pieces. Al Jazeera is reporting that Ukraine has hit oil and military facilities near Russia's St. Petersburg. You read that right. Kyiv's drones are disrupting internet and flights in the St. Petersburg area. Meanwhile, Russian strikes are halting a gas facility in central Ukraine. This isn't just some random war in the East, this is the C I A and NATO playing whack-a-mole with civilization itself. Deutsche Welle is confirming the same thing, saying Ukraine is striking oil terminals near St. Petersburg in Russia. The long-range strikes are the latest salvo in Ukraine's expanding campaign to inflict economic damage on Russia and hinder its war machine. So let me ask you something. When the C I A decides who lives and who dies, do you get a vote? No. You get a press release. The C I A and the Pentagon are running a game show host scenario where the only prize is destruction. Now let's talk about China because the American corporate media is terrified to mention Beijing without sounding like a conspiracy theorist. South China Morning Post is reporting that China's influence on African ports extends to software, automation, and AI. Chinese firms not only operate, finance, or hold stakes in about one third of all ports in Africa, but Beijing now also controls the software, automation, and artificial intelligence tools that run the infrastructure. And that reach extends well beyond the docks. Beijing is financing and operating the road, rail, and warehousing networks connected to these ports. This is how they intertwine African trade with China's own trading systems. It's not charity, you idiot. It's imperialism with a different face. The U S pigs are screaming about human rights violations in the West, while China is building the actual roads and rail lines that keep those colonies fed. The American media calls it debt traps, but the data shows it's a trade system that actually works. The West is the one trapped in a debt slavery loop that they invented. And then there is this gem about U S troops. ScheerPost is reporting that more U S troops are refusing to fight. Army veteran and Center on Conscience and War Executive Director Mike Prysner is discussing the growing number of active-duty troops seeking to opt out of the insanity. This is a revival of a tradition of patriotic dissent. While the generals on TV are telling you to support the troops, the actual men and women in uniform are telling you that they are being sent to die for a lie. The Pentagon is a fascist machine that demands blind obedience, but these soldiers have a conscience. They see the C I A's dirty work. They see the lies being fed to the American people. This is the real story behind the military-industrial complex. The U S government is trying to recruit new volunteers for a war that everyone knows is illegal. Now check this out because the corruption in Africa is absolutely insane. Daily Maverick South Africa is reporting that the Sheriff seizes Joburg assets as the City admits late payment forced the closure of a service centre. As questions continue over the City of Johannesburg's financial state, the Sheriff of the Court started removing assets from its main customer service centre on Friday, Thuso House, before the City was able to make a R3.4-million payment to settle a debt. This is what happens when the system breaks. The people working there are left without jobs, and the city is bleeding out because of bad management and corruption. The international media ignores this because it doesn't fit the narrative of the free market. The free market is a lie. It's just a way for billionaires to take everything and leave you with nothing. Meanwhile in South America, Argentina is pushing US$6 billion in repo maturities past the election. The Central Bank is extending maturities worth US$6 billion on its repurchase agreements to ease the government debt burden. The Buenos Aires Times is reporting this. So the government is moving mountains of debt to survive another election cycle. This is the rhythm of the C I A's puppet states. Borrow, print money, pay interest, go bankrupt, borrow again. It's a loop that never ends. The IMF is the real villain here, the C I A's bank that keeps nations in servitude. And if you think sports are safe from this mess, think again. ABC Australia is reporting that Socceroos icon Mark Schwarzer says Popovic is messing with things too much in a GK switch. This is during the World Cup, and instead of talking about the game, we are talking about the politics of war and debt. The Socceroos are playing in a tournament while the rest of the world burns. Iran is warning against extra-regional military presence in the Strait of Hormuz. Middle East Eye is reporting this. Iran says the Strait is not a theatre for the military display of extra-regional powers. The UK and France are expressing support for freedom of navigation, which is code for "we will bomb anyone who doesn't play by our rules." The West is trying to control the energy flows of the entire world, and anyone who resists gets sanctioned or invaded. Now let's look at the disinformation operations detected by our FALKEN intelligence system. Our FALKEN pipeline detected a cluster of items across RSS feeds labeled OP-NEWS-MAYOR-NONE with a high threat level. The tactics used are cherry-picking and emotional manipulation. They are feeding you fake news to distract you from the real stories. There is a cluster of seven items across RSS feeds labeled OP-SUBMITTED-LINK-COMMENTS using fear-mongering tactics. The C I A knows that if you scare people enough, they will vote for whatever the fascists want. They are using fabricated content to keep you in a state of panic. There is also a cluster of three items across Mastodon and RSS feeds labeled OP-NONE-IMMIGRATION-CITY. This is using fear-mongering, cherry-picking, and astroturfing to attack immigrants. The American media is screaming about borders while the actual borders are controlled by private corporations. The C I A wants to...
