Welcome to The Anti Social Socialist, I am NodeZ3r0, and today we are cutting through the fascist machine noise to show you exactly what the corporate media is hiding while they sell you their fake news to keep you docile and poor. You think the world is crazy? You are wrong. The world is a lie constructed by the same two hundred billion dollar cartel that owns your news, your bank, and your prison system. We are here to rip the mask off and show the rotting meat underneath. Let's start with a story that the mainstream media wants you to ignore because it exposes their entire intelligence apparatus for the fraud it is. NBC News is running a piece claiming Iranian attacks caused billions in unprecedented damage to US sites, but they are calling it an attack while ignoring the reality of imperialism. Middle East Eye is reporting that missile and drone strikes have devastated intelligence gathering equipment used by the CIA and other spy agencies across the region. What are they doing there? They are there to enforce the will of capitalism, to secure resources for the global elite, and to crush any resistance that threatens the free market. The CIA is not a democracy watchdog, it is a fascist machine designed to protect the interests of the two hundred billion dollar class. When you bomb a country, you create martyrs, and when you bomb intelligence sites, you are creating a vacuum that the very system you worship is trying to fill with more lies. The BBC is saying this is a defensive response, but let's be clear, this is not defense. This is the US military industrial complex expanding its footprint while the workers in those countries starve. The pigs in the Pentagon are laughing at us while they burn down hospitals and schools in places that don't exist on their maps of reality. They call it a war, we call it occupation, and the only thing they are winning is more debt for the people they claim to protect. Moving on, now check this out because the trade war is getting real and the people who pay the price are not the billionaires in their jets. France 24 is reporting that Canada has struck back at the United States with retaliatory tariffs on about two hundred billion dollars worth of American goods, including steel, dairy products, appliances, and farm equipment. The confrontation is threatening one of the world's largest trading relationships, but the real story is the class war being played out in plain sight. The US politicians are screaming about national security, about protecting American jobs, but the result is that American businesses are getting crushed while the billionaire class walks away richer. This is the game show host logic of capitalism where the only prize is for the one who can bleed the most. They talk about free trade, but free trade for whom? Free trade for the corporations, not the workers. The workers in Canada and the workers in the US are being used as cannon fodder in a war between the states while the corporations make sure the profits flow uphill to the owners. They say the trade war is escalating sharply, but it is the people who are feeling the pain, not the politicians in Washington or Ottawa. The pigs are feeding us the narrative that this is about patriotism, but it is about profit. It is about control. And if you think this is just a dispute between two countries, you are missing the forest for the trees. The global economy is being weaponized against the people, and the next step is to isolate the countries that dare to say no. Here is where it gets wild because the media is not just lying, they are actively manufacturing consent for genocide. ScheerPost is reporting on how Western media employs double standards and censorship to amplify Israeli lies and dehumanize Palestinians. Chris Hedges is screaming about how the media facilitates genocide by normalizing the occupation and erasing violations of international law. This is not journalism, this is a propaganda operation. The mainstream media betrays and demonizes the working class of the world while they celebrate the destruction of a people who have done nothing but resist. They talk about freedom, but they mean freedom to sell weapons to the oppressors. They talk about democracy, but they mean the right to vote for the billionaire who owns their news station. The Western media is complicit in the bloodshed because they provide the cover for the fascist machine to operate without consequence. They erase the voices of the oppressed and amplify the voices of the oppressors because that is how the system works. The only thing that matters is the bottom line, and the bottom line for the military industrial complex is blood and profit. The pigs in the newsrooms are telling us what to think, what to feel, and what to fear, and it is all designed to keep us divided and conquered. If we do not wake up, we will be the next generation to march into the concentration camps that the media tells us do not exist. Now check this gem from the Asia Pacific region because the Philippines is trying to survive the storm of imperialism while the big powers play chess with bodies. The South China Morning Post is reporting that the Philippines is looking to drones and a system of systems to boost asymmetric defense against a far larger Chinese military presence at sea. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr is focusing on expanding the military's drone fleet as part of his external defense strategy, but this is not about defense, it is about submission to the new world order. The administration is trying to make its forces harder to find and suppress, but the real threat is not the Chinese military, it is the global capitalist system that is strangling the Philippines. The Filipino people are trying to build a life for themselves, but the global elite are looking for a way to extract more resources and crush any resistance. The drones are not a substitute for warships and aircraft, they are a cheap way to extend the reach of the empire without spending a dime on the people who actually need it. The pigs in the Pentagon are watching the Philippines with a hungry eye, waiting for the right moment to strike. The Philippines is not an ally, it is a pawn on the chessboard of the global elite. And the only way to win is to stop playing the game and start building a movement that can take back the power from the two hundred billion dollar cartel. Meanwhile, in the Middle East, the economic asphyxiation is real and the U...
