Let’s dive into today’s underreported stories from around the world that big money media don’t want you to know about. First up: Elon Musk, the Tesla billionaire, is leading a far right propaganda blitz on Brazil’s democracy. Brasil Wire reported January 8th wasn’t just some new coup attempt; it was a blatant digital proto-coup. With all the bullshit money can buy, he’s stirring up trouble in plain sight. The meatpackers and their buddies are walking away richer while workers bleed. And what about Trump? He's right there with him, spouting nonsense on Truth Social, claiming some kind of fake coup. Moving on: Global oil prices hit a four-year high due to concerns over Iran. South China Morning Post is reporting that US-Iran tensions could disrupt Middle East oil supply and hurt global economic growth. Oil went up past 122 bucks a barrel. Trump’s buddy Elon must be thrilled about this one, raking it in while people suffer. Capitalism at its finest. Now check this out: A new report by Public Citizen exposes crypto corruption tied to the Trump family. Common Dreams is saying Trump and his sons have around a billion dollars linked to their World Liberty Financial venture. This crypto scheme hinges on Binance, which has been accused of sanctions violations and money laundering involving Iran. So while the US is at war with Iran, Trump’s cronies are making hay in the crypto world. Here's where it gets wild: The death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza keeps climbing. Middle East Eye reported that medical officials say 72,601 people have died since October 7th last year. That’s a fucking genocide. Hospitals report two new deaths and eight more injuries every day in Gaza. Meanwhile, the fascist machine continues to slaughter innocent civilians. And then there's this gem: Mexico is cracking down on top cartel leaders but fears it could fuel violence within Jalisco New Generation cartel. The Guardian is saying the arrest of El Mencho’s potential successor has raised concerns about infighting among cartels. This isn’t just a win for law enforcement, it’s another battle in an ongoing war for control and territory. Meanwhile: In South Africa, the Patriotic Alliance won a key ward off the Democratic Alliance while the DA flipped a seat from the ANC. Daily Maverick is reporting this shift in Stellenbosch and Uniondale. It's a small victory but shows that people are looking beyond the two major parties for representation. And finally: The Pentagon released its first official estimate of how much the Iran war has cost the US – SBS Australia reports it’s an astronomical figure, equal to NASA’s entire budget this year. The fascist machine is at it again, racking up bills while ordinary people foot the bill through taxes and debt slavery. Now let’s dive into some disinformation operations picked up by our Falken intelligence pipeline. There's a cluster of 164 items across RSS feeds about legislation and banks with tactics like emotional manipulation. Another high-threat operation involves parents pushing back against vaccine mandates for kids, using loaded language to create fear. And there are clusters around Prince Andrew’s massage scandal and Texas politics too. On social media: Zydus Lifesciences is trending big time, a pharmaceutical company getting buzz on Bluesky. Also Conan O'Brien reflecting on the deaths of Rob and Michelle Reiner, Catherine O'Hara – some emotional stuff. A lot of high-suspicion content about climate change being a hoax, disinformation machine spreading false narratives. So what does this all mean? The capitalist system is running roughshod over people’s lives while billionaires rake in profits. Disinformation campaigns fuel division and confusion. Israel continues its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. And the media hides these stories from view, covering them up with distractions and propaganda. People are waking up to alternatives but it's an uphill battle. Now listen up comrades: organize, self-host your news on wopr.systems, engage in mutual aid projects in your communities. Get involved beyond what corporate media tells you about. We're here at the edge of the network, connecting the dots for y'all. Join us and be part of the resistance against the billionaire-owned mainstream. That’s it for today's episode of The Anti Social Socialist. Thanks for tuning in. Keep it real out there. Peace.
