Nodez3r0 is back in the booth with the Anti Social Socialist, and we are ripping apart the lies they are feeding you about war, about debt, and about who really owns this planet. South China Morning Post is reporting something the American news anchors are too scared to touch, and it should burn a hole in your brain. They say China's drone production capacity can only meet sixty percent of war demand, even when fully mobilized. Sixty percent! That is a motherfucking disaster waiting to happen. The study used an artificial intelligence model that looked at the multilevel supply chain, linking drone assembly plants with subsystem suppliers, and it found that the system is clogged. They accounted for inventories, production capacity, order backlogs, budgets, and civilian demand. So what does this mean? It means that if this war starts, the industrial titans of this planet will not be able to feed the machines of death fast enough. The billionaires in the backroom are looking at these numbers and laughing because they know the working class will take the bullets. The capitalist system is designed to fail when it comes to production, but never when it comes to profit. They want to bleed the people dry while the factories sit half-empty. The military-industrial complex is a broken promise, a lying piece of shit that tells you we are prepared when we are actually bankrupt. The drones will run out, the missiles will fizzle, and then what? Then the fascism turns inward on the poor. This is not patriotism, man, this is just another scam to sell you fear. Now let's move on to the United States, and let's talk about the hypocrisy that makes your blood boil. ScheerPost is shining a light on Dr. Adam Hamawy, a former U.S. Army physician who is running for Congress, and he is the only one telling the truth. He says the Democrats must embrace an anti-war, economically progressive agenda, and they must abandon the categories of left versus right. The bipartisan US-backed genocide in Gaza exposed the corruption of the political system in the United States. The Democratic Party claims to represent working people, but they are just the other side of the same fascist coin. They are just as willing to send you to die for the profit of the armament industry. Dr. Hamawy is a man who sees the bodies, a doctor who has treated the wounded of wars they started, and he knows that the system is sick. He wants to move forward, but he is fighting a two-hundred-pound gorilla called the establishment. The pigs in the party are screaming at him to shut up, to stop being a traitor, but he is the only one standing up and saying that the party is a shell of a corpse. If the Democrats do not change, they will keep killing people in the name of freedom, and that is not freedom, that is slavery. Move over to Buenos Aires, South America, because the debt is crushing these people. The Buenos Aires Times is reporting that more than five point eight million people nationwide are behind on loan payments. Five point eight million! Imagine that, man, imagine that number. Unions and left-wing parties are calling for state action to ease debt burdens and regulate high interest rates. The banks are laughing while the people starve. The international capital is sucking the life out of the continent, transferring wealth from the Global South to the financial districts of London and New York. This is economic imperialism, plain and simple. The families in Buenos Aires are trying to keep their houses while the banks repossess everything because the interest rates are set by a cabal of motherfuckers who do not live here. They want your labor, they want your sweat, but they do not want your home. The police are coming to evict you while the banks print more money to buy yachts. This is not a market, this is a racket, and the racketeers are winning. And then there is the tragedy in the Central African Republic. The Guardian World is reporting that more than one hundred people have died after a goldmine collapsed. A landslide took out an artisanal goldmine in the village of Zamboye, killing workers who were just trying to feed their families. Local officials say the death toll is likely to rise. These are not just numbers, man, these are brothers and sisters who were digging for gold to survive. Who is responsible? The multinational corporations that own the mines, the same corporations that are being protected by the fascist state. They dig the holes, the ground gives way, and they say it was an act of God. Bullshit. It is a planned negligence, a way to extract value while sacrificing the lives of the poor. The gold goes to the rich, the bodies go to the earth. The international media treats this as a news blurb, a tragedy, but they do not ask the question: why is the infrastructure so bad? Why are the workers so poor? Because the system is built on their suffering. The Guardian is a good outlet, but they need to dig deeper, they need to expose the owners of the mines, not just report on the dead. Meanwhile, the hypocrisy in the Middle East is reaching fever pitch. Middle East Eye is reporting that Canada has condemned Israel for closing its probe into the killing of aid workers. Seven World Central Kitchen aid workers were killed by Israeli strikes in April 2024. One of them was a Canadian citizen named Jacob Flickinger. The Foreign Minister Anita Anand described Israel's decision to end the investigation as unacceptable. This is a goddamn lie. The Canadian government is pretending to care while the system is built on the bones of these victims. The international narrative is that Israel is a rogue state, but who is protecting the real rogues? The bankers who fund the wars. The aid workers were trying to help, and they were bombed. The Canadian government is playing the victim while the real criminals walk free. This is a distraction, man, a distraction from the real war on poverty, the real war on the working class. The fascist machine in Tel Aviv is getting a free pass from the Western powers, while the people in Canada are being asked to pray instead of organizing. Australia is getting outraged, too. SBS Australia is saying that the Prime Minister Albanese wanted full accountability, but instead, Austr... [Full transcript at asscast.org]</description>
