Listen up you idiots because today we are pulling back the curtain on a fascist machine that is burning the world down while pretending it is all about freedom. The mainstream media is lying through their teeth and the only thing they want is to keep you broke, scared, and docile so the oligarchs can continue their endless war of aggression. We are the Anti Social Socialist and we are not going to sit here and take it anymore. These pigs in the Capitol and the Pentagon are playing with fire and watching the whole house catch fire. Let's start with the carnage in the Middle East because this is where the blood starts dripping. Middle East Eye is reporting that the US struck Iran for the seventh consecutive time overnight. They claim they hit surveillance sites, military logistics, underground weapons storage, and maritime assets. But ask yourself why? Because the global capitalist system needs a war to distract you from the fact that your wages are stagnating while billionaires like Jensen Huang and Elon Musk are siphoning off trillions. A top Iranian military official warned that if the US continues bombing Iran over the coming days, Tehran will launch full-scale offensive operations. Do you think that is a bluff? The fuck no. An Iranian general warned via Deutsche Welle that no border will be safe if the US strikes continue past the next few days. The US rejected Tehran's claims that two oil tankers exploded near the Strait of Hormuz, but who do you think is telling the truth? The international journalists or the liars in Washington. The truth is the US is trying to strangle the global economy by choking off energy supplies and raising prices on gas and oil so you can go buy debt at the bank. The US is using its military as a tool of economic imperialism. They bomb a country to raise the price of your coffee. That is the game. And they are doing it because they need the profits to prop up their own collapsing empire. Now check this out because the financial system is a house of cards waiting to fall. The South China Morning Post is asking a question that the Wall Street crowd is terrified of answering. What if Wall Street stock prices were to collapse from their current pinnacles under the sheer weight of excessive investment in artificial intelligence? Would markets in Tokyo and other Asian centres follow suit? These are questions likely to be put to the test before long if US stock prices continue their strong upward trajectory, interest rates and inflation keep rising, and as seems likely, the US-Israel war against Iran drags on. The US wants to keep printing money to buy AI tech while you pay rent with rent that is going up every month. The Japanese market is tied to the US economy like a leech. If the US crashes, Tokyo crashes. And if Tokyo crashes, the whole Asian economy implodes. The billionaires want the bubble to stay inflated so they can keep their yachts full of champagne while you are eating ramen in your apartment. They are gambling with your pension money and they do not care if you lose everything. That is the capitalist system for you. It is a rigged game where the house always wins and the players are you and your neighbors. But the violence is not just happening in the Middle East, it is happening right here at home. ScheerPost is reporting on the brutal misuse of crowd control weapons on ICE protesters which led to blindings and traumatic brain injuries. Doctors and human rights experts documented hundreds of incidents from June 2025 through May 2026 and estimate the true number is far greater. It has been a brutal tactic deployed by local and federal law enforcement officials time and again over the past year using tear gas, rubber bullets, and lethal force. These are not police, they are military contractors in uniform. They are pigs trained to crush dissent. When you protest for your rights, they do not protect you, they attack you. They blind you. They break your brains. And then they tell you that you are the one who is breaking the law. It is a fascist machine operating on American soil. They want to silence the voices that demand justice. They want to make sure that the next time someone stands up for the working class, they are too scared to speak because they have seen their friends maimed by rubber bullets fired by the state. This is what happens when you let the state become a weapon against its own people. And then there is the drama in Ukraine because the system needs another conflict to justify the billions in military spending. SBS Australia is reporting that Mykhailo Fedorov, a 35-year-old tech expert, is out as Ukraine's defence minister after a surprise government reshuffle. Why? Because the US needs a puppet leader who will do whatever they are told to keep the war going. They need the conflict to escalate so they can sell more weapons to the Ukrainian state and the NATO alliance. They are using the lives of Ukrainian soldiers as pawns in a chess game that was never about saving Ukraine. It was about containing Russia and creating a permanent war economy. The protests in Ukraine are rare wartime protests, but they show that even the soldiers are getting tired of the bullshit. They are tired of sending their brothers and sisters to die for the interests of a handful of corrupt elites in Washington and Brussels. The system is breaking down from the inside because the people are waking up. They are realizing that the war is not for freedom, it is for profit. Meanwhile, in South America, the exploitation continues unabated. The Buenos Aires Times is reporting that Neuquén Province is pitching its first US bond since 2017. This is the local government reaping the rewards of a shale oil boom. They are selling off their resources to foreign investors in New York. It is the same playbook used in every colony in the world. The local government borrows money from the rich nations to fund their own development, but the terms are stacked against them. They have to pay back the loans with interest while the foreign investors take a cut of the profits from the oil. It is debt slavery on an international scale. They are selling their future to pay for their present. And the people of Neuquén? They get nothing but pollution and poverty. The shale oil boom might look like progress on paper, but who is paying the price? The workers who breathe the toxic air and the families who lose their homes to the extraction companies. This is the reality of capitalism. It is a system that extracts value from the poor to enrich the rich. And it is happening everywhere. Over in South Africa, the...
