These elite shitheads think we can be silenced with cartoons, but history screams back louder than any corporate press release ever could! Listen to me, because what is happening in the world of information is a total disaster for the people! The C I A thinks they can control the narrative, but look at what Derf Backderf and The Dissidents are doing! They are using their pens like weapons against the fascist machine that wants to grind humanity into dust! During World War One, these socialist cartoonists were fighting back against elite propaganda, and they did not flinch when the ruling class screamed for blood! Now we see the same playbook being used today, but this time the fascists have automated weapons and algorithms instead of just ink! The Russian Revolution happened, the working class woke up, and suddenly the C I A and their billionaire buddies felt threatened because a militant proletariat is rising right here in America while they sit in their penthouses drinking imported champagne! Al Jazeera is reporting on how these cartoonists were powerful tools for countering elite lies, and guess who gets silenced first? The truth tellers! They try to shut down independent voices, they try to ban free speech, but a pen is mightier than a sword made of titanium and wrapped in a patriotic flag! These are the times where you need to stand your ground! If you stay silent, you are complicit in their crimes! These motherfuckers want us divided so they can steal our pensions and our healthcare while the billionaires walk away richer! It is simple math, man! One plus one does not equal zero when a corporation owns the media! It equals profit for the shitheads at the top and misery for everyone else! Moving on now, because this next story shows you exactly how far the fascist machine will push before it burns down the house! Iran faces a strategic dilemma as the war of attrition drags on, and let me tell you, the US has no intention of stopping until every drop of oil in that region is dry! Middle East Eye is reporting that Iran and the United States are locked in another limited but dangerous phase of confrontation, and it smells like blood in the water! The latest flare-up began with a US strike on Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces in southern Iran, according to Iranian accounts, and these strikes are not accidents! They are deliberate attempts to strangle a sovereign nation into submission while the fascist regime in Washington counts another trillion dollars in debt for the C I A's endless wars! The Strait of Hormuz is blocked because the US military industrial complex needs that oil to keep their jets flying and their missiles launching! They talk about a negotiated settlement, but who negotiates with a fascist regime that bombed hospitals and schools in Gaza? Nobody! They want you to believe this is a geopolitical maneuver, but it is nothing more than an act of economic imperialism designed to bleed the Global South dry! While Truth Social is claiming X about freedom and democracy, the actual data from international sources shows Y where US drones are raining destruction on civilian populations! Deutsche Welle has been tracking these tensions, and they are not pulling punches in their reporting because they know the truth that NBC news refuses to say! These pigs in uniform think they can bully small nations into submission, but they underestimate the resilience of the oppressed people who have nothing left to lose! They will fight back, and when they do, the whole system could collapse under the weight of its own hypocrisy! The Houthis are advancing along the Yemeni coast, threatening Saudi oil exports in the Red Sea, and this is a direct strike against the US dollar hegemony! Reuters is covering how the Houthis seized control of Yemen's port city of Mocha on Thursday and advanced down the Red Sea coast to strategic islands! This happens hours after President Donald Trump said he expected the Iran war to end after the US midterm elections, but guess what? He was lying through his teeth just like every other politician in D C! The Houthis are striking where it hurts most—right at the throat of the multinational oil corporations that run this planet! They know that if they cut off the flow of Saudi oil, the entire capitalist economy shits itself and stock markets crash like a pile of wet garbage! This is exactly what we need right now! We need chaos in the boardrooms of these fascist corporations so the people can organize and take back their lives! The Daily Maverick SA is reporting on this advance, showing us that the world is waking up to the fact that America is not the savior it claims to be! It is just a giant bully picking on kids until they cry for help! And nobody is coming to save you but yourself and your neighbors! And then there is this gem about artificial intelligence being used as a tool of surveillance and oppression, which is absolutely terrifying if you think about what that means for your privacy! France 24 is reporting that Anthropic said it had disrupted several state-sponsored surveillance operations using its artificial intelligence models, warning of the growing AI use to target dissidents and minorities! The campaigns detected between January and July originated in China, Iran and West Africa and targeted diaspora communities, including Hong Kong pro-democracy activists! This is the new face of fascism! It is not just boots on the ground anymore; it is code written by people who care more about profit than human rights! They use algorithms to predict dissent before it even happens, they track your digital footprint while you sleep, and they feed that data back to the C I A's shadow agencies! While Silicon Valley CEOs claim these models are neutral tools for progress, the reality is they are weapons of mass surveillance designed to crush any movement against the status quo! These motherfuckers think if they lock everyone behind a digital cage, we will never be able to organize! But they forget that technology can be hacked, and hackers can be trained by people who care about justice! The BBC has been covering these stories alongside other international outlets, exposing how big tech companies sell out their users to the highest bidder! They want you to believe that free speech is protected online, but when it comes to anti-war protesters or labor organizers, the algorithm deletes your posts and bans your accounts! This is censorship disguised as moderation! It is a fucking lie designed to keep the peace of mind for the elite while chaos reigns in the streets! You cannot trust these systems, man! They are owned by the same people who own the prisons and the police! If you want true freedom, you have to build ...
