Biden's Iran Policy Is Just Trump's Iran Policy With A Rainbow Flag Emoji
"Biden's Iran policy is in effect just a continuation of Trump's Iran policy that liberals can feel good about. It's Trump's Iran policy with gender pronouns in its bio." caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/bidens-iran-…
Biden has confirmed that his administration will not be lifting sanctions imposed upon Iran in order to bring Tehran to the negotiating table for the restoration of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal.
Electoral Politics Use The Same Containment Strategies As Alzheimer's Facilities
A good dementia care facility redirects residents away from the exit doors using distraction and friendly chatter. The oligarchic empire redirects its prisoners the same way. caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/electoral-po…
In a high-quality dementia care facility, confused residents who are at risk of unsafe wandering are skillfully redirected away from exit doors by staff members who are trained to provide them with the illusion of freedom while still keeping them in the safety of the care home.
If you've ever visited a loved one in a locked dementia care facility, especially near sunset, you know how agitated the people who live there can become. The impulse to wander and pace is very common, and they'll often demand to leave the facility at once so they can go home.
Just as a body will fight to eject any pathogen which threatens its survival, an empire will fight to eject anyone who threatens its survival. Whenever you see a person or government targeted by the full might of the empire, that's what you're looking at.
Like a shark, the empire must keep advancing or it will die. Any government or leader which stands in the way of its continual expansion around the globe is seen, correctly, as an existential threat. Not to the US as a nation, but to the empire which must keep advancing or die.
This is why you'll never see a US politician actually slamming the brakes on imperialism. If anyone gets anywhere near a position where they might do so, they will be targeted and eliminated. It's the one door you're forbidden to go through, because it threatens an entire empire.
"You're not an extremist if you oppose a system which crushes human beings to death at home and abroad for the power and profit of the very few, you're just normal." caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/youre-not-a-…
In response to rumors that Bernie Sanders foreign policy advisor Matt Duss may be playing some role in the Joe Biden State Department, bloodthirsty psychopath Nikki Haley said this:
Which is of course ridiculous. Taken as a whole Biden's imperialist foreign policy has not differed much from Trump's, and Duss is a fairly reliable imperialist himself.
The Google-owned video sharing platform YouTube has demonetized numerous independent media accounts, a jarring escalation in the steadily intensifying campaign against alternative news outlets online.
No explanation has been offered for this decision beyond the vague claim that "your channel is not in line with our YouTube Partner Program policies" due to "harmful content".
YouTube has demonetized @grahamelwood, @theProgSoapbox, @theconvocouch and @FordFischer, for entirely unspecified reasons. The appeals process is entirely opaque and unaccountable. They could be left demonetized for months, or forever, with no explanation.
It's very hard to put out a lot of content unless you're making enough money from it to do it full time. Anyone who works in indie media for a living knows this. So do the powerful people who are promoting internet censorship.
