These fucking assholes are seriously going to push a sequel to Russiagate with China if Biden wins. The cold warriors got their consent for dangerous escalations versus one half of the Russia-China tandem, now they're going for the other half.
Aaand my mentions are now full of propagandized dupes telling me that this time is completely different and Biden really is a Xi puppet. Fucking morons.
Me neither! I was so ready to be done with the whole thing and now these dipshits are going to force me to be perceived as defending Biden for years just like I've been perceived as defending Trump by opposing a brazen cold war psyop.
Great, now I've got Chinagaters in my mentions telling me Russiagate was fake but Chinagate is real AND I've got Russiagaters telling me Chinagate is fake but Russiagate is real. Can you all please get out of your echo chambers and see you're being duped?

Biden Will NOT Be Soft On China; He'll Continue Trump's Aggressions

"If the US intelligence cartel had had any suspicion that Biden might obstruct their agendas in the eastern hemisphere, his presidential campaign would have been capsized over a year ago"

Toward the end of the Bobulinski interview came the really important part, the part we were all meant to see: Image

If Biden Wins, Russiagate Will Magically Morph Into Chinagate

"Ohhh god. It’s happening again."
caityjohnstone.medium.com/if-biden-wins-…
Ohhh god. It’s happening again.

The same exact low rumble, slowly rising toward the same fever pitch crescendo. First you get a few unexpected comments showing up in your notifications, then a few more, then a lot more, then a whole lot more.

It's Russiagate all over again.
The increasingly shrill shrieking from rightists about China having leverage over Biden is so similar to what I experienced from liberals at this exact point in time in 2016 about Russia having leverage over Trump. They get mad when I say it but it's true.

Thick Skin Makes For Lousy Sex

Stop putting armor on that fancy suit, love.
The plate mail,
it clashes with your eyes.
The world is not asking you
to be tough,
to be disengaged,
to be pulled back from the shit show,
to be numb to the psychic screaming
of chainsawed trees
and finless sharks.
The world does not need
one more leaned-back pontificator,
one more dissociated intellectual,
one more slowly decaying know-it-all,
one more dispassionate bloviator,
one more sexless, artless thinkbrain,
one more unfeeling scribe
of the left hemisphere.

I've never really spoken with Cook (I think we've had one brief back-and-forth exchange and it was an argument), but I often feel like we understand each other better than most people who've been friends for decades. This is fantastic.
"Capitalism isn’t only harming us, it’s double-billing us: taking first from our wallets and then depriving us of a future. We have now entered an era of deep cognitive dissonance."
"Efforts to end the suicidal trajectory of our current 'free market' system will doubtless soon be equated with terrorism, as the Prevent strategy has already intimated. We should be ready."

Hmm… America Keeps Getting Attacked By Nations It Hates In Ways Only The CIA Can See

I'd like to tell you a folktale. It's called "The Emperor's New 9/11".
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/hmm-america-…
Once upon a time there was an Emperor who loved war and military expansionism.
One day two men calling themselves Intelligence Experts came into town claiming that they had devised a wondrous new type of enemy threat that is invisible to the common folk.

No Matter Who Wins, The War Machine Wins

"US government agencies are advancing the narrative that unabsorbed governments are attacking the United States in a completely invisible yet extremely outrageous way."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/no-matter-wh…
The US government is pushing yet another unproven election meddling narrative about yet another disobedient government, this time targeting Iran and Russia.

This is exhausting. Do I really need to type this bullshit out?

Fine. Okay. Here we go again:
