You hear me? Nobody cares! The entire fascist machine is running on autopilot while we sit here watching the slaughter from a screen. Let's get straight to the point. The billionaires and their corporate puppets think they can just fly in and drop death from the sky without consequence. Well guess what? That ends now. MIDDLE EAST EYE is reporting from Yemen right now and they are telling us that Houthi forces just fired missiles and drones into Marib and Mocha. They killed dozens of people. They injured more. The spokesperson Yahya Saree said they targeted Saudi-linked forces but innocent folks got caught in the crossfire just like always. This is not a game show host picking winners and losers. This is a military spokesman saying people are dying while the US-backed regime in Riyadh laughs all the way to the bank. The US war machine is trying to strangle a nation that refuses to bow down to their fascist masters. The CIA and the State Department are watching this slaughter and doing nothing but issuing press releases that call it "collateral damage." Collateral damage? You call murdering people "collateral damage"? That is a lie straight out of a fascist propaganda manual! The US government wants you to believe that war is a clean business transaction, but what they are really doing is stealing your life and your future to feed their own insatiable greed. They want you to feel powerless so you accept the status quo. They want you to be a puppet dancing on a string held by the Pentagon. Now check this out. We are moving from Yemen to Ethiopia and the violence just keeps getting worse. RFI is reporting from Africa and the rebel forces in Tigray are condemning army drone strikes. They are calling it a serious escalation. The Ethiopian government is using drones to bomb their own population. Drones. The same technology the US sells to fascists around the world. It is a cheap way to kill people without getting your own boots dirty. You think this is just some random conflict? No man. This is about resource extraction. The big mining corporations need the land and the US government needs the resources to fuel their consumerist nightmare. While the rebels fight for their land, the international media giants turn a blind eye or worse, they write articles that try to justify the bombing. It is bullshit. It is absolute bullshit. The UN is warning of a new war and you should listen to them before you get crushed under the boot of a fascist regime. The US and its allies are funding these dictatorships and then acting surprised when they turn their guns on their own people. It is a loop. A never-ending loop of exploitation and death. The US military industrial complex is the biggest monster in the world and it feeds on the suffering of others. And speaking of monsters, let's talk about Elon Musk. BRASIL WIRE is reporting from Brazil and they are calling out the X ban on Musk. They are saying it is not about free speech. It is about sovereignty. The Brazilian judiciary is telling the billionaire to shut the hell up because he is interfering with their legal system. Musk is trying to use his platform to support fascist movements in Brazil and they are kicking him out. He thinks he owns the airwaves. He thinks he owns the truth. But he is just a rich idiot playing dress up as a king. The Brazilian people are waking up and they are rejecting the coup attempt that is being orchestrated by the billionaire. The billionaire turned far-right influencer is inciting violence and the law is finally saying no to him. This is a victory for the people who are tired of being bullied by tech oligarchs. The tech giants think they can control the narrative but they are just puppets of the same capitalist machine. They sell you ads, they sell you your data, and then they sell you lies. It is a rigged game and the only way to win is to stop playing. You have to hack the system. You have to take back your technology. You have to demand a world where corporations do not have the power to decide who speaks and who is silenced. Here is where it gets wild. The UN is investigating attacks in Myanmar and they found something disgusting. THE SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST is reporting that the military is using drones and motorized paragliders to attack civilians. They are flying low and slow and dropping bombs on neighborhoods. They are doing this while trying to project stability and gain legitimacy after a rigged election. What a joke. They hold an election and then bomb the people who voted. They use high-tech drones to terrorize the poor. The US is arming these regimes with the same weapons that kill millions of people every year. The US government sits in their air-conditioned offices in Washington DC and signs checks for weapons that are then used to murder children in places you have never heard of. It is a system designed to keep the poor poor and the rich richer. The rich get to fly drones from the sky and the poor get to get bombed. It is simple economics. Simple economics for the fascist machine. Now let's talk about the Pentagon. THE INTERCEPT is reporting on a new civilian casualty report and they are calling it a total whitewash. Government officials are admitting it is sickening and a joke. The War Department claims they killed no civilians in boat strikes in Yemen. They are lying. They are lying with their whole body. The Intercept is exposing the lie and you should be proud to support independent journalism that tells the truth. The mainstream media will never tell you this because they are owned by the same fascist billionaires who profit from war. The Intercept is brave and they are telling you what the game show hosts are hiding. They are showing you the blood on the hands of the generals. The Pentagon says they missed. The reality is they are aiming at the wrong people. It is a hit list and the names are not on the list of the rich and powerful. The names are of the poor and the weak. The names of the people who have no voice. Meanwhile, the tension is rising in Korea. DAILY MAVERICK is reporting that North Korea fired a missile ahead of major US-South Korea drills. The US and South Korea are planning military exercises that Pyongyang has denounced. They are building up their military might while the world burns. The US is preparing for another war. Another unnec... [Full transcript at asscast.org]</description>
