Hello, operator? Get me Edward Saïd's number, fast!
Wow, where could they ever have got that idea from?
Western corporate media (including the @NYTimes, @washingtonpost and @Reuters) have, for years now, been fearmongering about the Chinese and Russian vaccines in an attempt to stop the world taking them up.

My report into the subject for @MintPressNews:

mintpressnews.com/corporate-medi…
@nytimes @washingtonpost @Reuters @MintPressNews Another blatantly racist depiction of Chinese people in US national media this week.

[Thread] Twitter is partnering with a crazy, hawkish, US-govt & arms industry funded think tank to regulate false info online.

This should be alarming to anyone who cares about truth, free speech or peace, as my new @MintPressNews investigation explains:

mintpressnews.com/aspi-think-tan…
The think tank— the Australian Stretegic Partnership Initiative (ASPI) — have already deleted hundreds of thousands of Chinese, Russian, & Iranian accounts, and consider chellenging Western govt narratives about these countries as evidence enough for permabans.
ASPI is directly funded by Western governments and by the arms industry, and pumps out relentless pro-war propaganda on their website.

Around half of its executive council also sit on the boards of weapons giants, sparking a ludicrous conflict of interests.

ALERT 🚨: There are increasing signs that the US is considering a Libya-style military intervention in Ethiopia.

My new investigation for @MintPressNews (thread):

mintpressnews.com/every-option-t…
When asked about the country, USAID chief Samantha Power (one of the architects of the Libya disaster) said that “every option is on the table” - a codeword for war.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken refused to rule out sends troops into Tigray when directly asked at the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

[Thread] The OTF, the group that helps make so many of the net's favorite privacy apps, including Signal and Tor, is full of national security state plants.

My new investigation for @MintPressNews:

mintpressnews.com/the-open-techn…
@MintPressNews The OTF talks about Internet freedom a lot.

But when it comes down to it, their idea of "freedom" means the freedom for the US govt to spam people around the world with Radio Free Asia and Voice of America content. Image
@MintPressNews Every member of the OTF's board was a high-level govt functionary, including ambassadors, PNAC neocons and Iraq and Afghan war planners.

Is this really the sort of organization we can trust to make our privacy apps?

Is it really a coincidence that as soon as the US pulled out of Afghanistan, the domestic American heroin supply has dried up? 🤔🇦🇫 Image
We know, for instance, that the CIA ran the crack trade in the 1980s, and even intentionally introduced it to black communities across the US, using the money to fund death squads in Latin America.

The US also turned Afghanistan from a small time player into by far-and-away the world's biggest ever narcostate.

[Thread] My new @MintPressNews article analyzing Tulsi Gabbard's Metamorphosis from anti-war progressive to defending drone strikes on civilians on Fox News.

mintpressnews.com/anti-war-progr…
@MintPressNews In recent weeks, Tulsi has appeared almost daily on Fox News, where she has celebrated the Rittenhouse verdict and the GOP Virginia win, attacked Biden's "open door" borders and warned against the "far-left" Democrat Party pushing a "cradle to grave mentality of dependency."
@MintPressNews In the last month, she's appeared on Fox shows Tucker Carlson Tonight, Hannity, Gutfeld!, Neil Cavuto Live, Fox News Primetime, The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton, and Watters World. She hasn't appeared on any other network.

[Thread] Searching through 1000s of Defense Dept docs, I found that the US has sold over $28.3 billion in arms to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 since their attack on Yemen 🇾🇪 began. This includes 20 deals inked by the Biden admin.

My new @Mintpressnews investigation:

mintpressnews.com/despite-pledge…
In addition to the $28.3 billion, Saudi Arabia is also a named customer in $34 billion worth of additional deals with multiple recipients, meaning the upper bound for US ➡️ Saudi weapons sales could be as high as $63 billion since 2015.
Although Biden has cut back on the bonanza, he has still ok'd similar amounts as Trump did 2017-8, including orders for Black Hawk and Apache helicopters as well as cruise missiles and other bombs.

This, despite promising the US would end its involvement in the conflict.
