The Entire World Should Be Laughing At America For Pretending To Care About Muslims In China

"The only sane response to the US empire feigning concern for the wellbeing of a foreign Muslim population is laughter, derision, and ridicule."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/the-entire-w…
Biden finally held his first full press conference yesterday, an embarrassing affair which saw obsequious imperial stenographers gather round to pretend that important US policy decisions are actually being made by this dried up empty husk of a man who can barely think or talk.
We again heard the US empire babble about the plight of Muslims in China with the gibberish "I made it clear that no American president, at least one did, but no American president had ever backed down from speaking out of what’s happening in the Uyghurs."
By "what's happening in the Uyghurs" Biden was attempting to articulate a concern for the human rights of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang province, a talking point the US empire has been dishonestly pushing as attempts to halt the rise of China get more urgent.

It is a known fact that the US government has a standing policy of dishonestly weaponizing "human rights" concerns against nations like China in order to strategically undermine them while knowingly ignoring the brazen human rights violations of its allies
consortiumnews.com/2021/03/23/rem…
The US government does not care about the plight of the Uyghurs in China. It doesn't care that the allegations regarding the abuse of their rights are riddled with glaring plot holes. All it cares about is undermining China, truth be damned.
And I just can't get over the fact that the path the US empire has taken in order to attack that leading geostrategic rival is in pretending to care about the human rights of Muslims. We really don't laugh at these clowns hard enough for that.
This would after all be the same religious population which the US has been cheerfully slaughtering by the millions in its campaigns of military mass murder, just since the turn of this century.
consortiumnews.com/2018/04/25/how…
The same religious population the US has displaced by the tens of millions in its campaign of terrorism called the "war on terror", also just since the turn of this century.

The same religious population the US has sadistically tortured in facilities like Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib.
counterpunch.org/2018/05/08/a-b…
The same religious population who was terrorized by an escalation in hate crimes in the United States itself due to propaganda campaigns for George W Bush's wars, wars which were enthusiastically supported and facilitated by the current invalid-in-chief.

The only sane response to the US empire feigning concern for the wellbeing of a foreign Muslim population is laughter, derision, and ridicule. The whole world should be rolling on the floor laughing at these people.
The fact that these butchers are saying "Won't somebody PLEASE think of the Muslims!" after waging a psychopathic campaign of murder and theft upon a swath of Muslim-majority countries means we should all be mocking them, pointing at them, and laughing them out of the room.
It's silly how many of us are still sitting around taking this clown show seriously. Let's start making fun of these freaks. The entire US empire deserves to be laughed at, discredited, and dismissed forever.

US Intelligence Warns Withdrawal Could Lead To Afghanistan Being Controlled By Afghans

US intelligence agencies have warned the Biden administration that if the United States withdraws its military presence from Afghanistan under current circumstances, the nation would be at severe risk of falling under the control of the people who live there. Image
The New York Times, which has consistently supported all US wars including the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan, informs us the Taliban has been "stalling" to avoid signing a power-sharing deal with the existing government in Afghanistan.

The US has been rounding up Italian Americans and systematically exterminating them in concentration camps. If you don't believe me, you are a genocide denier. Questioning my assertion or demanding proof of my claim makes you guilty of genocide denial. You are basically a Nazi.
The basis for my claim that the US is genociding Italian Americans is the fact that I have asserted it. My assertion is my evidence. You must accept my assertion on faith and back economic sanctions against the US or I'll smear you as a genocide denier and compare you to Nazis.
The media always report the truth. If you believe otherwise you are a conspiracy theorist AND a genocide denier.

Supporting universal health care and a living wage will get you mean tweets from the KHive. Opposing US militarism will get you smeared, targeted, marginalized and deplatformed. It takes a lot more courage to oppose America's status quo foreign policy than domestic policy.
One area of emphasis is far, far more tolerated by the oligarchic empire than the other. For this reason, the best way to learn what someone is really made of is not to look at their domestic policy, it's to look at their foreign policy.
And this dynamic of course exists because war is the glue which holds the empire together. There's a lot more power and a lot more capitalist infrastructure riding on the ability to continue US military expansionism than the ability to keep killing universal healthcare.

That Time A Leaked Memo Proved The US Weaponizes 'Human Rights' Against Nations Like China

"The reality is that actions against China were already planned, and a narrative was used to justify them."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/that-time-a-…
The US, UK, EU and Canada have simultaneously implemented new sanctions against Chinese officials in another reminder that these nations function as member states of a single empire on foreign policy, and that Trump and Biden are identical on China policy.
politico.eu/article/uk-us-…
The basis for these sanctions is listed as "human rights" violations in Xinjiang province, as US Secretary of State Tony Blinken explains:

False spirituality offers sedation and escapism from reality; it's very convenient for the powerful. True spirituality means expanding consciousness of reality: consciousness of our inner dynamics AND outer dynamics which lead to suffering. Nearly all spirituality today is false.
False spirituality helps you hide the ugly truths within and without by offering comforting narratives and practices which help sedate your emotional body. True spirituality brings consciousness to those ugly truths, within and without, and brings them into the light to be seen.
The powerful benefit from false spirituality. They say "Use mindfulness and deep breathing exercises to help you cope with the stress of a meaningless, exploitative job!" They glorify meekness, obedience and poverty, and extoll us to forgive those who have committed great evils.

Thoughts On The Iraq Invasion

"It has now been eighteen years since the Iraq invasion, and I'm still not done raging about it. Nobody should be."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/thoughts-on-…
The reason it's so important to stay enraged about Iraq is because it's never been addressed or rectified in any real way whatsoever. All the corrupt mechanisms which led to the invasion are still in place and its consequences remain. It isn't something that happened in the past.
The Iraq invasion feels kind of like if your dad had stood up at the dinner table, cut off your sister's head in front of everyone, gone right back to eating and never suffered any consequences, and everyone just kind of forgot about it and carried on life like it never happened.
