The biggest surprise of the night is in Peru, where presidential election exit polls show Pedro Castillo, who had been seventh in earlier polls, unexpectedly came in first place.
Castillo is an activist and organizer of a major strike, from an anti-imperialist socialist party
This is the leader of the party whose candidate Pedro Castillo came in first in Peru's election tonight: "Perú Libre is a party of the socialist left, in a neoliberal ocean," which is attacked "not only by the right but also by the revisionist pseudo-left"
The Perú Libre party of Peru's first-place presidential candidate Pedro Castillo is firmly anti-imperialist.
It has condemned the US coup attempts against Venezuela, pointing out that the Chavista government of President Maduro was democratically elected larepublica.pe/politica/2019/…
The 2nd-place candidate in exit polls in Peru's presidential election tonight is a right-wing economist who created the neoliberal shock therapy policies of the fascistic Fujimori regime
In an ironic twist, he shares the name of a murderous Spanish conquistador: Hernando de Soto

The existence of Prince Philip was the most compelling evidence that the parasitic colonialists in the British royal family really are lizard people
Regular reminder that the British royal family is full of Nazi sympathizers who praised Hitler and Mussolini as allies against communism, and the sooner the monarchy is abolished the better for humanity
The UK monarchy is led by a monster who was raised to Nazi salute as a child.
The Third Reich and the British empire had a lot in common. The genocidal crimes the UK committed against its colonial subjects abroad is what Hitler did to people within Europe channel4.com/news/queen-roy…
Basically all English-language media reports on the death toll in Myanmar are based on unverifiable claims by a pro-Western opposition group, the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), which is supported by the US govt's NED, a CIA cutout ned.org/fellows/ko-bo-…
There are a lot of parallels between Syria and Myanmar. For years, Western media reporting on Syria has also reported death tolls by uncritically regurgitating unverifiable statistics from a UK govt-funded, UK-based opposition group called the SOHR thegrayzone.com/2018/06/06/syr…
Nothing to see here, it's extremely normal for "peaceful pro-democracy protesters" to attack and burn down Chinese factories
(This AP article is also careful to note that Taiwanese and South Korean factories in Myanmar have not been purposefully targeted) apnews.com/article/beijin…
The US regime-change network has kicked into high gear targeting Myanmar. And Silicon Valley social media corporations are functionally an arm of the US government, pushing regime-change propaganda on its behalf.
This is yet another battle in Washington's new cold war on China
There is obviously an astro-turfed regime-change campaign targeting Myanmar. A bunch of US-based troll accounts created in February 2021 spread nonstop propaganda calling to "implement R2P," demanding Western intervention under the imperialist "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine
A ton of these "Save Myanmar" troll accounts were created in February 2021, and they are amplifying US government propaganda from Radio Free Asia (a CIA cutout) while calling nonstop to "implement R2P" - just like the imperialist interventions targeting Yugoslavia, Libya, & Syria
The Western left's favorite "anarchists," the Kurdish-majority SDF/YPG, who were fetishized in media (and are helping the US occupy 1/3rd of Syria), are being trained to call in US airstrikes.
While Western "leftists" like DSA's so-called "Libertarian Socialist" Caucus @DSA_LSC lavish praise on the SDF/YPG, the Air Force Times proudly refers to them as "US proxies," as they help the US empire militarily occupy Syria's oil/wheat-rich territory
This Air Force article on the US military training the SDF/YPG to call in airstrikes repeatedly cites this neoconservative operative who called for the US empire to use its Kurdish proxies to starve Syria's civilian population, boasting "wheat is a weapon" thegrayzone.com/2019/06/19/whe…
This interview with @RaniaKhalek is excellent: @EHSANI221 explains how Western imperialism will prop up entire economies like Lebanon's, which was built on a huge bubble that was basically just a Ponzi scheme, in order to advance its geopolitical interests player.fm/series/unautho…
The financial implosion in Lebanon shows how economics is mostly politics and only a small part science.
Lebanon's economy was built on a huge Ponzi scheme kept afloat by periodic infusions of capital by Western states and Gulf monarchies, in order to keep Hezbollah out of gov't
Lebanon shows how neoliberal economics is predicated on imperialism.
Its private banks were giving loans to the central bank (in dollars!), and Western financial institutions praised the con artist who oversaw the scam as brilliant, because he served their geopolitical interests
This should be a huge scandal: A Western govt-funded regime-change org that collaborated with Syrian al-Qaeda, @CIJAonline, was accused by the EU of fraud.
So CIJA ran a dishonest sting op on a UK academic to discredit critics and cover up its corruption thegrayzone.com/2021/03/27/cij…
.@CIJAonline was given tens of millions by the EU, UK, US, Germany, Canada, etc. to wage regime-change lawfare against Syria.
But the European Anti-Fraud Office investigated and found major corruption
