this is the best explanation I've seen for "defund the police" as a slogan and policy

this article is very good as well: currentaffairs.org/2020/08/why-cr…

and see this thread, which includes the astonishing fact that the 3-year recidivism rate for prisoners who had access to pell grants and got a college degree was 5% versus 40% for those who didn't
spoiler alert: they got rid of the pell grants, bc the purpose of the neoliberal penal state is not to reduce crime, it is to punish those in the lower regions of the class and racial hierarchy. for more details see wacqaunt's work linked in this thread:
see this thread for another concrete proposal as part of the "defund the police" movement

they have actually gone insane. You cannot say death to the genocidal Israeli rape-army or criticize them in any way because they have universal conscription (which btw anyone can refuse for minimal punishment) so it's "calling for the death of all Israeli Jews". Criticizing the baby-killing rape-army is now anti-Semitism
Iran has universal conscription too. Do you think the US and UK governments and the entire deranged genocidal Zionist media class would end your life for chanting "death, death to the IRGC/Iranian military"? That's calling for the death of all Iranians! That crosses a line! LOL
they have gone from conflating the genocidal Israeli-death cult with all Jews to now conflating their baby-killing rape-army with all Jews to censor, blacklist, criminalize any criticism. Vylan is brilliant for exposing this deranged Zionist depravity:

Norman Finkelstein, who canvassed for Zohran Mamdani, gives advice on how to deal with Zionist smears drawing on the experience with Corbyn, and explains how Zionists are deploying a strategy to destroy him from the outside and coopt him from within: "Do not give them an inch!"
Norman on why comparisons of Zohran with Obama are wrong. Obama had no program, he was vague rhetoric about "hope and change" funded by billionaires. He did not come out of a social movement. It is not Zohran Zionist ruling elites represented by the NYT fear, it is the movement:
more from Norman on how genocidal Zionists were the tip of the spear in attacking and destroying the Corbyn movement, aided and abetted by those on the "inside" like Owen Jones who constantly demanded capitulation, apologizing and begging forgiveness. They are the most dangerous.

To learn more about the insidiousness of the fake pseudo-radical Zionist "allies" who burrow themselves inside the movement to destroy it from within it, and be able to recognize and spot them before they succeed, Owen Jones is the perfect case study.

how does the CIA conduct "regime change" operations to destroy nations? They utilize insights from social psychology to create a sense of crisis in a country, as part of a wider terror campaign. Guatemala 1954 is a case study, described here by the CIA agents in charge of it:
in the clips in this thread former senior CIA agent John Stockwell details how they deploy advanced psychological warfare propaganda techniques, including fabricating atrocity hoaxes and getting the NYT, BBC, AP, Reuters to launder it all for them:
here is the former head of the CIA's Latin American division Duane Clarridge gleefully talking about how they destroy entire nations by orchestrating coups and training, funding and arming death-squad proxies that sow terror, rape and mass murder to advance their project:

the AP and the entire Western media class is now using the Gaza genocide playbook for Iran to downplay the number of civilians the Israeli death-cult has murdered so far, which is over 90% as stated by Iran's health ministry. And they're doing it by literally citing a CIA-front as their source. Notice how they describe them as "Washington-based Human Rights Activists group". It's amazing how depraved these vile propagandist scum areImage
hey @FarnoushAmiri why are you citing a literal CIA-front as a legitimate source for how many Iranian babies, children and other civilians the genocidal Israeli death-cult has murdered, which directly contradicts what Iran's health ministry has stated? Why are you laundering the mass murder of civilians via the CIA?
@FarnoushAmiri go look at any media reporting on what is happening in Iran from the NYT, BBC, AP, Reuters, CNN, Guardian, Washington Post. They will all, without fail, cite this literal CIA-front as their source. It's utterly fucking insane:

Iran has a nuclear option that it can use at any moment: Hitting Aramco and other Israeli-US puppet Gulf regime oil and gas infrastructure and destroying the regional and world economy. It can begin with just a few strikes, then expand if deterrence is not established and Israel and the US in coordination with their regional Arab colonies continue their war project of collapsing and destroying the Iranian state, nation and people, up until the entire global economy is brought to a halt.

Russia is not coming to save you. China is not coming to save to you. In this world every individual is born and dies alone, and so it is with states and nations: You are born and die alone. You must take all the means that are available to you to protect your nation and people when you are under total war from history's most depraved murderous genocidal death-cult, the Zionist Israeli-US-NATO empire.

And that includes their "Arab puppet" Saudi-Gulf fascist Zionist dictatorships. These are not independent states. They are Zionist colonies. MBS and UAE's MBZ are not rulers of nations and peoples, they are colonial viceroys of Israel and the US. Everything they do is pre-determined by their masters who give them the orders, who set up vast networks of tortures and prison-guards to watch over their slave societies and behead and rape anyone who posts even a slightly critical tweet about their coke-addled porn-obsessed royals who are serial rapists who traffic in children and women: x.com/zei_squirrel/s…

In 2018 the Saudi Israeli-US puppet dictator MBS repeated the Zionist Netanyahu propaganda about Iran and Khamenei being "today's Hitler" who had to be destroyed. This was as the Saudi-UAE Zionist puppet regimes had been waging a genocidal war on Yemen for years, played a key role in the dismantling of Syria as a nation for their Israeli-US masters by funding and arming ISIS-fascist death and rape-squads alongside the CIA and Mossad, and after they also played a key role in the fascist military coup in Egypt overthrowing the first democratically elected government in their history for being opposed to US-Israeli hegemony.

Then in 2019 the Houthis hit an Aramco Saudi oil facility, and they became scared to death. And by "they" I mean their Israeli-US colonial overlords. Now suddenly the global economy was being directly threatened. In 2022 the Saudi-Gulf colonies, again as ordered by their Israeli-US masters, froze the genocidal war on Yemen for now as they went after "the head of the snake", which is how they all see Iran.

The Saudis and MBS, always with their Israeli-US masters, then began a massive project to collapse the Iranian state from within. They set up a propaganda network in the UK under the name of Iran International, bought some of the most well-known and famous Iranian actors, artists, athletes, influencers, public figures, took control of their huge social media platforms, then deployed them to unleash the 2022 hybrid war against Iran, which I exposed in detail in these threads:

x.com/zei_squirrel/s…
x.com/zei_squirrel/s…
x.com/zei_squirrel/s…
x.com/zei_squirrel/s…

The project ultimately failed. The Iranian state, nation and people proved itself to be able to withstand these kinds of hybrid-wars aimed at fomenting civil war to destroy them.

Seeing this attempt fail over the course of 2023, the strategy then changed, especially after October 7. Knowing that Iran has the nuclear option to destroy the regional and global economy by destroying the oil infrastructure of its Saudi-Gulf Zionist puppets, their Israeli and American masters decided to shift the frontlines.

The Saudi-Gulf regimes were ordered to engage in the classic strategy that they always use, as they did with the fake Witkoff negotiations, the fake negotiations with Nasrallah for a ceasefire, the fake Genocide Joe negotiations for a permanent ceasefire to lull Iran into not retaliating with True Promise 2, and the luring of Qasem Soleimani to Baghdad to assassinate him which Trump, the Israelis and the Saudis organized: Weaponizing diplomacy as deception. I detailed that in these threads:

x.com/zei_squirrel/s…
x.com/zei_squirrel/s…
x.com/zei_squirrel/s…

So what did they do? The Saudis and UAE, who for years had called Iran the new Nazis who had to be destroyed as they are the "head of the octopus" of resistance to Zionist Israeli-US-NATO hegemony which includes their Arab colonies, suddenly became doves. Overnight they became friendly.

There was this whole spectacle of a Chinese-coordinated deal. That was all bullshit. It was meaningless. There was no substance behind it, just as there was no substance behind the Hamas-Fatah supposed reconciliation facilitated by China. They just said some words, nothing concrete was committed to, and the Israeli Palgusano puppet Abbas remains a collaborator in good standing with the genocidal Israeli death-cult, jailing, torturing and killing Palestinians for his master. The Chinese tried to facilitate a diplomatic resolution to these conflicts, but that is impossible with the current power dynamics. You cannot have a diplomatic resolution between a genocidal Zionist colony and those that resist it. The masters would never allow it. If those chosen to occupy the current ruling positions in the Saudi regime had actually done that, they would not have existed anymore. They would have been replaced by other compliant viceroy puppets. And they and everyone knows it.

In the past few months they have ratcheted up the propaganda of being peace-loving neighbors who just want to see Iran thrive and do well and definitely don't have anything to do with any war that was going to be imminently launched and which they definitely had no idea about and hadn't been closely coordinating with their masters to ensure would have all the means needed to do.

In November 2024 the Saudis sent the head of their army to Iran for a bilateral meeting, and just two months ago, in April, they sent their Defense Minister to Iran who met with their top military leadership. Look at the video of that meeting.

Virtually all the Iranian military leaders you see there have now been assassinated.

As I noted in this thread: x.com/zei_squirrel/s…, the Saudi-UAE Gulf Zionist colonies are an essential part of the war against the Iranian state, nation and people. They host American bases. They fabricate and spread Zionist propaganda. They are essential in the project of destroying Hezbollah in Lebanon. They are active in Iraq. They destroyed Syria. They have Egypt. And they will shift from this feigned fake passivity into active direct involvement with the genocidal war for Iran's survival once they believe the nuclear option of hitting their oil and gas infrastructure is no longer viable because substantial state and military collapse has already been achieved. They will arm and fund death and rape-squads to roam the streets of Iranian cities. Their media will launder them as brave heroes. And they will gleefully celebrate and rejoice over having finally destroy "the new Hitler and Nazis", as MBS said echoing the words of his Israeli-US Zionist masters.

But the nuclear option is still there now, and there other actions that can be taken alongside it to establish deterrence like closing the Strait of Hormuz: x.com/zei_squirrel/s…. And they must be used now. They must be deployed immediately, and then scaled up as needed. Begin with limited strikes, then expand if deterrence is not established, and keep going. If they continue with their project of destroying the Iranian nation and people, then you will all be destroyed. Then all the Zionist colonies in the region will be destroyed.

If we burn, YOU WILL BURN WITH US.
btw a commonly shared trait among these colonial Zionist Saudi-UAE Gulf puppets is that they are not only among the most depraved scum on earth, outmatched only by their Israeli Zionist masters, but also profoundly stupid. Look at MBS here saying that Iran definitely shouldn't get a nuke because hey, what's the point of having a nuke anyway? You can't use it, so why have it? The entire world is going to be at war with you if you have a nuke and actually use it for self-defense, so why even have it?

Then he says, literally a second after: But yeah if they get a nuke obviously we will also get one immediately for security reasons and balancing power. LOL

It's just astonishing. This cunt sawed a Washington Post journalist into pieces in Turkey and then dissolved his body in acid as the entire Western media class then shrugged and welcomed him back as a brave heroic reformer, by which they mean a good little slave boy viceroy of the Israeli-US Zionist empire. And he says: Yes of course if Iran gets a nuke, we must definitely get one too.

But Israel has nukes and is in the region? Who the fuck cares. They're my master. Why would that jeopardize our security and why would that cause a power imbalance? They literally own me.
Israel and the US have colonized the Arab world. They have imposed on them fascist dictatorships, torturers and dungeons. They censor, suppress, jail and kill anyone who dares resist Zionist hegemony. And it's all a house of cards built on oil and gas:


Their destruction is everyone's liberation.

they are going to destroy the Iranian state, nation and people. Khamenei and others in the political leadership are going to be killed soon. Iran has failed to establish deterrence. The entire leadership is concentrated in the figure of the Supreme Leader, the symbol of the state. They have also made the fatal mistake of not having a successor prepared, with a public presence and stature and recognition being cultivated and established many years in advance. So when they kill Khamenei, the state goes into full crisis mode immediately, and the process of its total collapse will begin.

A factional war will erupt in the political leadership class to choose a successor, dividing them when unity is essential. The divisions will reverberate throughout the broader public, and will be and already exacerbated by the activation of CIA-Mossad-MI6 proxy forces. The process of breaking up the Iranian nation and people along ethnic lines, a project that has been worked on for decades, will go into overdrive. Kurds, Azeri, Balochi and others will suddenly have their ready-made "freedom fighters" who will begin their "liberation movements". Simultaneously old and new proxy groups masquerading as this or that ideological faction will announce themselves: ISIS, Al-Qaeda, new "true Shia" who will do what the IRGC and army was unable to, yet somehow only seem to attack state entities.

Like vultures US-Israeli-NATO Gulf puppet regimes, from the Saudis to the UAE and Turkey, will, as they did in Syria, fund and arm their own pet groups to try to gain more influence and grab territory for themselves.

Meanwhile, right after the assassination of Khamenei, the US will join in the bombing campaign. Perhaps the UK and France too. They will hit all the essential military and economic infrastructure, like you saw in Syria after they overthrew Assad and Libya before it.

Iran is a nation of 90 million people. Tens of millions of lives are going to be destroyed. Mass exodus of refugees, mass murder and death, total chaos and anarchy.

And the Zionist Western media and political class will salivate over it like hyenas. Yet another nation and people destroyed for having dared resist our hegemony.
the exchange ratio for the killing of Haniyeh, Fuad Shukr, Nasrallah, Raisi, hitting their embassy, the pager mass terror attack, doing a genocide in Gaza, massively bombing Lebanon and killing many there, the mass bombing of Yemen, everything that the genocidal Zionists have done since October 7, was some missiles hitting some buildings and a few Israeli human shields taken out by at least a 100 to 1 ratio as compared to the Palestinians, Lebanese, Yemenis and Iranian civilians killed.

Then when they launched the war and killed the entire military and IRGC leadership and top scientists and many civilians, they once again just hit some buildings and took out some human shields at a 30 to 1 ratio. Then they said if Israel stops their attacks we will stop ours, meaning they consider that to have been a sufficient response.

Zionists will take that deal any day. That is the perfect deal for them. That is like handing them the destruction of your state, nation and people on a silver platter.

We are going to destroy your entire nation, and all you will do is hit some buildings and kill some human shields?

Yes please. We will take that deal. Let's shake on it.

And that is what you are seeing being played out now.

It is actually kind of shocking. I did not expect it myself. I did not foresee the Iranian state being actually suicidal as the Western media and political class have been saying, but in the exact opposite way of their deranged claims: Suicidally restrained, moderate, "strategically patient". This was presented as being rational and reasonable, but in fact it was the height of irrationality when faced with a genocidal death-cult that knows and respects nothing but the language of mass unrestrained extreme irrational unexpected violence.
Iran should have used October 7 and the confusion that caused in the Israeli and US-NATO death-cults to nuclearize. They had a 6 month window to nuclearize. They should have done it long before. The decision to not do that is one of the worst in history
