caitlin speaks about the empire, as she does, and its 'affiliates';

Responding to a war caused by NATO expansion by expanding NATO.

Fighting Russian authoritarianism by increasing censorship.

Fighting Russian propaganda by increasing propaganda.

Pursuing peace by rejecting diplomacy.

Defending Europe from Russia by bombing European pipelines.

Twitter has dropped its entirely appropriate designation of NPR as “state-affiliated media”, instead creating an entirely new designation, “Government Funded”, which it has also now given to the accounts of outlets like the BBC and Voice of America. You still see establishment guard dogs decrying this new label for western propaganda outlets on nonsensical pedantic grounds, but really the problem is that they’re not receiving the same “state-affiliated media” label as outlets like RT and Press TV despite being equally propagandistic. The label is designed to provide the false impression that western propaganda outlets are not propaganda outlets.

It’s actually very revealing how huffy and indignant empire apologists are getting over the “Government Funded” label, because it shows that they see it as Twitter’s responsibility to facilitate western propaganda. Imperial spinmeisters have a vested interest in maintaining the illusion that propaganda is something that only happens to other people, and any move that might disrupt that illusion even slightly is met with hostility.

It’s one of the most shameful jobs in the entire world to spend your time doing critical reporting on the enemies of your government while ignoring your own government’s far more egregious crimes.

People talk about sex work as shameful, and in America they’ll even shame you for working a low-paying job like McDonald’s, when on all our screens every day we see people selling their own government’s ugly foreign policy in a line of work that is entire universes more shameful.

That’s why I dislike the use of the word “presstitute” to refer to these people. Not because it’s insulting to the press, but because it’s insulting to sex workers..........more........

 the world isn't all puppies and ice cream as stanley kubrick knew too well;

Stanley Kubrick had a window on the inside, and filmed his revealing movie "Eyes Wide Shut" in a Mentmore Towers in England, a Rothschild mansion. Kubrick told Nicole Kidman that pedos run the world, they all have dirt on each other, and they are "in it until death, driving the world to ruin." RIP

 the empire is collapsing on all fronts, as it were;

A more expanded document dump and leak of highly classified materials is being reported in the wake of the initial disclosure that memos related to US strategy in the Ukraine war appeared online, including material marked “Top Secret”.

This time the leak appears more expansive: “A new batch of classified documents that appear to detail American national security secrets from Ukraine to the Middle East to China surfaced on social media sites on Friday, alarming the Pentagon and adding turmoil to a situation that seemed to have caught the Biden administration off guard,” The New York Times reported Friday evening..........more........

it seems that most of 'my fellow americans' are sleeping since they've let this thru this far;

 We can no longer remain on the sidelines, hoping for the best. This is Patriot Act 2.0 and would be the final nail in the coffin of our free speech rights. 

 rfk jr is running for president and some talking heads don't like that;

In 2005, Tapper & RFK Jr. were collaborating on a damning report re: CDC corruption/ vaccine safety. Tapper was enthusiastic and "hoping to win an Emmy" – last minute a frustrated Tapper called Kennedy to tell him that corporate was scrapping it: .......more.........
