While you're out there getting your daily dose of corporate propaganda, reading the same recycled garbage from the billionaire-owned media machines, real crimes are happening in the shadows. And I am not talking about the fake scandals they try to manufacture to distract you from the real rot. I'm talking about war crimes, economic strangulation, and a global fascist machine that is tightening its grip on your neck every single fucking second. Welcome to The Anti Social Socialist. I am NodeZ3r0. And today, we are tearing the mask off. We are exposing the lies. We are calling out the pigs. And we are screaming loud enough so the C I A cant shut us up. Let's start with the bleeding edge of this hellhole we call the world. Al Jazeera is reporting on a nightmare in Pakistan. A Baloch activist, Mir Yar Baloch, has posted video evidence showing missile debris in a residential area. Thirty people are dead. Thirty human beings turned into meat by a drone strike or a missile dropped by the Pakistani military. And their response? They say it was a premature explosion of an improvised explosive device allegedly being assembled by militants. Bullshit. That is the language of a fascist machine. That is how they cover up genocide. They want you to believe the victims were criminals, not citizens. But the video shows missile parts. The Times of India is bringing it to light. And Mir Yar is screaming at the US administration. He is begging them to impose sanctions, to stop sending F-16 engine spare parts, to stop upgrading those fighter jets. Why would you send weapons to a regime that kills its own people? Because that is how the capitalist system works. You sell the tools of destruction, you collect the profits, and when the bombs fall, the US media tells you its a tragedy, not a crime. They want the US military industrial complex running at full speed. They want you to forget that the missiles falling on Balochistan are the same ones that could be turned against your own backyard if the politicians in Washington decide the time is right. And they are right there at the gates. Now, shift your gaze to the West Coast of South America. Democracy Now is reporting something that should have you shitting your pants. The C I A is carrying out drone strikes, disappearances, and torture near Ecuador's coast. Did you see that headline? The C I A. The same agency that you are told is protecting your freedom, the same agency that you pay for with your taxes, is acting like a hit squad in the Amazon. And while they do it, Israel is clearing the rubble in Gaza, covering up evidence of war crimes, and the US Ambassador is rebuking the siege on Palestinian homes? The BBC is saying Lebanon is condemning these demolitions as a serious violation of international law. But what does Fox News say? They say its freedom fighters. They say its justice. They lie. They are the pigs. They are the enforcers of a global empire that wants to crush any resistance. The Pentagon is sending a new aircraft carrier to relieve the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is full of people who have attempted suicide. Imagine that. A ship full of soldiers so depressed by the violence they are ordered to commit that they are trying to kill themselves. And the DHS? The Department of Homeland Security is targeting left-leaning groups. They are coming for us. They are preparing to lock us up in concentration camps right here in America. The fascists are not far away, they are here. They are already drafting the laws to make it legal to round us up. And it is not just in the Middle East. Middle East Eye is reporting on another massacre. Nine people killed in southern Lebanon. Israeli warplanes striking villages, killing women and children, and the Western media is staying silent or spinning the narrative. They say its collateral damage. Collateral damage means you value human life less than a dollar. And that is exactly what capitalism demands. You are the collateral. The billionaires are the beneficiaries. They sit in their mansions in Switzerland while missiles fall in Lebanon. The Israeli military confirms the attacks, claiming they are defensive, while their warplanes rain fire on civilians. The Lebanese health ministry says they killed two and injured nine in Deir ez-Zahrani. Then they hit a house in Ansar and kill seven more. They are methodically erasing villages. They are trying to create a buffer zone that looks like a graveyard. And the US government? They are cheering them on. They want the instability. They want the chaos. Because chaos keeps you buying. Chaos keeps you scared. And a scared population is an easy target for manipulation. Meanwhile, over in Europe, the reality is just as bleak. RFI is reporting that French firefighters are threatening to strike. Wildfires are burning across France, destroying homes, choking cities, and the government is not doing enough. The firefighters unions say they lack resources. They say they are unhappy with the government's response. And why? Because the capitalist system prioritizes profits over safety. The insurance companies want to raise premiums. The developers want to build condos on fire zones. And the firefighters? They are the ones who get burned. They are the ones who die. And now they are striking. September is coming. The forests are dry. The heat is rising. And the government is going to watch the whole country burn while they sit in their offices counting money. This is not an accident. This is a failure of the system. It is a direct result of decades of austerity, of cutting the budget for public services, of privatizing everything that matters. And when the fire comes, who is left to hold the hose? A broken system. A system that sells you the idea that you need to buy a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector, when the real problem is that your government has sold out the planet to the highest bidder. And if you think the US is the only place where democracy is for sale, look at South America. Brasil Wire is reporting on Flávio Bolsonaro. This guy is offering Brazil's future to the United States. He is proposing a transition team for the Trump administration if he is elected. This is illegal. It is a surrender. He is essentially saying, Take over our country, take our sovereignty, take our resources, and we will help you run it. This is the new normal. This is how neocolonialism works. The rich countries do not need to invade anymore; they just need a puppet on a string. Flávio Bolsonaro is the puppet. And he is s... [Full transcript at asscast.org]</description>
