Happy Birthday to the great Malcolm X, whose words are as important today as when he first spoke them. THREAD WITH CLIPS
Malcolm's response when cops shot and killed an unarmed black man and refused to take action against those responsible
a reporter asks Malcolm X if we're making progress
Malcolm X on liberals
a reporter asks Malcolm X if he's afraid of being killed
a white reporter accuses Malcolm X of being unable to be objective about racism because the KKK burned down his family house and killed his father. Malcolm calmly puts that depraved scumbag in his place
Malcolm X's brilliant analysis of the betrayal of solidarity among oppressed groups, where he ties it to the class and economic dimension of it: "They never wanted their master's property threatened and were more defensive of it than the master was."
the final part of that speech shows Malcolm X in all his genius. It's why people flocked to hear him speak and why the FBI and political elites were so desperate to kill him. With humor and intellect and boundless charisma Malcolm roused people's spirits and called them to action
another example of Malcolm's ability to inspire and stir people to action. A desperate activist laments that everything is hopeless because elites are too powerful and there are too few to oppose them. Malcolm X: "Never let your enemy tell you how many of you there are."
a reporter asks Malcolm X if he hates white people. Malcolm's response leaves him speechless
Malcolm X on black celebrities who are promoted as leaders of the black community by white elites to control and subdue them
Malcolm X: "Who taught you to hate the color of your skin to such extent that you bleach to get like the white man?"
in 1964, just three months before he was assassinated, Malcolm X was invited to debate at the Oxford Union. Having no formal education, he easily defeated his opponents on the question of whether extremism in defense of liberty is justified. Here is the conclusion to his talk:
"The most disrespected person in America is the black woman." Malcolm X
Malcolm X on the necessity of declaring war on violent racists, using revolutionary violence as a form of self-defense
thread on Malcolm X's historic meeting with Fidel Castro, which helped bring together the liberation struggles in the US and Cuba. When the Cuban delegation was thrown out of their hotel, Malcolm arranged an alternative location in Harlem:
Malcolm's famous "the chickens coming home to roost" speech, given in the wake of JFK's assassination and leading to his first major conflict with the Nation of Islam leader who thought it was too radical
as John Brown was vilified by white historians as a mad man, Malcolm X saw him as what he actually was: one of the few sane white men of his era, who saw the evil of slavery and decided to devote his life to destroying it by any means necessary
a reporter asks Malcolm X if he would encourage black people to fight for America against Russia or China in case of war. Malcolm: "I would never fight for America."

Bernie Sanders and his wife went to Ireland recently and threw out anti-genocide protesters from their event because they asked him to accept what Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, the UN and every major human rights org have said: That it's an Israeli genocide, not "Netanyahu's war"
Bernie Sanders continues to angrily mock and smear those who recognize the genocide. In interviews he says "what, so now 8 people get killed and that's a genocide?!?" But he immediately accepted that Russia and China are doing genocide. He's a Zionist liar and genocide denier
to be absolutely clear: It is inconceivable that Bernie Sanders and his wife would dare deny a genocide recognized by Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and the UN in any other context. They would not dare. They only do it for their precious Israel.
Ihab Hassan just deleted his original post saying UNRWA warehouses are Hamas and reposted it keeping the genocidal Zionist propaganda that Hamas shot and killed people even though it was Israeli-armed death-squads. Even Grok fact-checked his lies. This is Owen Jones' fav account
Ihab Hassan knows that all those in his replies and all those promoting his genocidal Zionist propaganda are Israeli regime assets and propagandists. He's just doing his job. Owen Jones knows it too, and he has made at least a million pounds off of his "anti-genocide activism"
that post Ihab Hassan made with the genocidal Zionist hoax lie fabricated to launder the ongoing starvation and mass murder of Palestinian babies, children, girls, boys, women and men was immediately swarmed by all the big Zionist accounts. It will get over a million views by the end of the day.
Again, ask yourself this very simple question: Why did Owen Jones singlehandedly create Ihab Hassan's social media account into what it is today by constantly promoting him since October 7 and up to this very day even though he knows all this about that account and the role it plays in the Zionist propaganda ecosystem?
Why did a person who turned his entire persona about being anti-genocide and how you need to hold every person in media accountable and you must name and shame, NAME AND SHAME!!!, why did he create and keeps promoting and building one of the largest Zionist media propaganda genocide-laundering machines online?
If you ask that question, you will know who and what Owen Jones really is.
how is Zionist propaganda laundering the ongoing genocide fabricated, disseminated and laundered, and how does Owen Jones play a key role in that process? Here is case study from just the past hour.
Ihab Hassan is now one of the most prominent Israeli regime Zionist genocide-launderers, and he does it by hiding it behind Palestinian-face. Here he is spreading the Zionist propaganda line that UNRWA warehouses are actually Hamas and Israeli armed and backed criminal gangs are also Hamas, thereby justifying the starvation and attacks on them and ensuring that the genocidal starvation policy will continue.
Owen Jones has been promoting Ihab Hassan since the genocide began, as he sees him as the "good Palestinian", the good gusano slave boy who "condemns Hamas" and supports a two-state solution and loves the UAE and Saudi Arabia and is paid by them. He's a good little boy, well-behaved, the kind of "Palestinian" Owen Jones doesn't block like he has done with countless, but the one he constantly promotes, to this very day, even though he knows that Israeli regime officials use him as one of their main propaganda assets to launder their genocidal lies.
Why? Why would Owen Jones, who has made it his public persona over the past year or so that he's this epic based radical anti-genocide activist, singlehandedly create a Zionist propaganda asset that is daily laundering the genocide?
I'll leave it up to you to decide why someone can be such an odious depraved scumbag.
If you ask me, it's pretty simple. Owen Jones knew full well that anti-genocide sentiments were not only the standard position on the left, but among the broad public, and if he went against that it would be the end of the his career, based as it was on a pseudo-radical persona who launders the Guardian's genocidal propaganda by giving it a radical sheen and allowing them to get away with it, as David Graeber pointed out: x.com/zei_squirrel/s…
Owen Jones has never said a single word about the genocidal propaganda fabricated and spread by his Guardian colleagues like Bethan McKernan, who produced the most deranged version of the genocidal atrocity propaganda rape hoax.
He did not defend his Guardian colleague Steve Bell when he was fired for a cartoon of Netanyahu. He did not defend another one of his Guardian colleagues who had his article deleted because it humanized Palestinians too much.
Why? Because if Owen Jones does that, his lucrative Guardian sinecure is ended, and he can't have that.
No, he wants to keep his Guardian money, and he wants to continue to play the role of the genocide-launderer in chief for them.
That's his sole purpose in life, it's his entire social being's function: I play the radical on TV and on social media, then I write columns for the Guardian and I launder your genocidal Zionist propaganda as actually being legitimate and important "Serious Journalism", because hey, they have Owen Jones writing for them, and he's a real radical!
Owen Jones has always been one of the most odious cunt scumbags alive, and I will never stop pointing this out as he thinks he's hiding in plain sight promoting odious genocidal Zionist propaganda assets like Ihab Hassan to this very day.
Owen Jones blocked me when I exposed him for being a huckster liar spreading genocidal Zionist propaganda and it is instructive to read the entire thread to see the depravities he's desperate to hide so he can keep creating Zionist assets like Ihab Hassan:
Piers Morgan is one of the most depraved genocidal Zionist propagandists, and in that he is the perfect reflection of the entire Western media and political class, from the NYT to the BBC, AP and Guardian. Here he is being exposed for spreading the 40 beheaded babies hoax:
Piers Morgan is also a gleeful genocidal Zionist rape hoaxer, and he is so shameless that he spreads the hoax while defending actual Zionist pedophile rapist Alan Dershowitz as he calls him his very good friend. Morgan himself was associated with Epstein's pedo ring:
everything being done by the Trump admin now to push the "turn on Israel/Netanyahu" line is pure misdirection aimed at re-establishing the element of surprise ahead of the imminent attack on Iran, which requires both a sustained air bombardment and a ground operation at the nuclear sites.
For the attack to have at least some chance of success, it is essential for the element of surprise to be re-established. The fake "negotiations" in Oman with the Iranians, the demotion of Watlz, the whining about "neo-cons" like in the Saudi Arabia speech, the fake "defeat" against the Houthis and all the fake "leaks" about how Trump is really very angry and feels betrayed by Netanyahu, are all intentionally designed to create a feeling of passivity among the Iranians and the belief that the attack may not actually happen.
Netanyahu's trips to DC was where they decided to adopt this strategy, and then immediately thereafter it was launched and the "Trump turn on Israel" propaganda began in full swing. The entire media class is of course playing along with it, with their "anonymous sources" giving them "leaks" that establish and launder the narrative.
Trump's trip to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf puppet regime is aimed at shoring up support among the US-NATO-Israeli empire's "Arab shield", and consolidate the inclusion of Syria's Erdogan-Jolani fascist puppets into it ahead of the attack.
As they have been desperately trying to re-establish the element of surprise with bullshit meaningless rhetoric, these are the actual material things that are being done to set up the preparations for the attack.
Trump's Zionist enforces have been heavily involved in Lebanon, demanding they do more and more to destroy Hezbollah and prevent its ability from being a deterrent against an attack. Again, Syria plays a crucial role in this, which is why they have now formally integrated it into the US-NATO-Israeli empire. This is not only to eliminate the land corridor between Iran and Hezbollah, but also to have the ISIS-fascist proxies serve as an attack force against them in the case they get involved, with an invasion of Lebanon from the East being threatened.
Similar moves are being made in Iraq, with Trump's Zionist enforcers demanding the state crack down on paramilitary forces that are not beholden to the US-NATO-Israeli empire but instead aligned with the Axis of Resistance.
What about the Houthis? The Trump Zionist regime realized that the bombing campaign by itself would not be sufficient to destroy them, and they needed to make preparations for a ground invasion with the aid of its Gulf proxies, the UAE and Saudis chief among them. To help establish the misdirection narrative of the "Trump turn on Netanyahu", they decided to come out with the fake leaks about how what was always intended to be a temporary withdrawal was actually part of the "distancing" between the US and Israel.
They will re-launch that campaign with the ground invasion in concert with the attack on Iran, or perhaps even earlier.
The Trump regime already made the decision before it came into office that the "Axis of Resistance", meaning the only material force in the region that withstands genocidal Zionist Israeli and broader US-NATO imperial hegemony, has to be destroyed by military means and that now is the perfect time to do it because, so the propaganda line goes, Hezbollah and Hamas have both been defeated and so are no longer deterrents, and Iran has shown itself to be a paper tiger that talks a tough game with red lines and operation true promises, but then never follows through so is fundamentally risk-avert and unwilling to retaliate with the required force which it certainly possesses.
This btw is another propaganda line they keep repeating, which is totally deranged and pure Mossad-CIA propaganda: The claim that Israel actually managed to destroy most if not all of Iran's air defenses and rocket building capacities in its pathetic irrelevant attack that in reality had zero effect on anything.
Yet if you read the NYT (Ronen Bergman the Mossad asset), BBC, Washington Post, CNN, AP, Reuters, Guardian, it is now accepted truth that Israel has already destroyed Israel's defenses, and so any attack on Iran will be easy, involves very little risk, and they'll be too weak to respond.
This btw is how the CIA-Mossad approached Trump with their war plan and got him to accept it.
This is of course the irony: To successfully establish deterrence, you have to show that you are willing to go to war. If you instead impose red lines and they keep being broken and you don't even follow through with what you said were the appropriate responses even below the level of an all-out war, like the bombing of Tel Aviv in exchange for the bombing of Beirut, then you have lost all deterrent value. You have convinced the other side that you are weak.
Iran's fundamental mistake was that they kept seeing their red lines being violated, and then they didn't follow through on what they themselves had said would be the response. The same with Hezbollah.
This is why Israel was emboldened enough to assassinate Nasrallah. They have admitted that they delayed it for a very long time because they were afraid of Hezbollah and Iran's response. Then they did the assassinations of Haniyeh, Fuad Shukr, and there was nothing. They did nothing. They just whined. They just posted videos of drone footage over Israeli military bases. And now Nasrallah is gone and they are tightening the noose around Lebanon and proceeding with its full integration into the US-NATO-Israeli empire.
take note that the entire Western media and political class, including all the pseudo-radicals, the "experts", the epic based "Israel critics", the Intercept and Drop Site writers, the Murtazas who btw is sincerely the dumbest motherfucker alive, are all going along with the "Trump turn on Israel" propaganda. They're either doing it because they're just as in the aforementioned case plainly stupid and always follow the herd (more on that here: x.com/zei_squirrel/s…), they believe whatever is published in the NYT and Washington Post and Guardian and always follow the State Department line as filtered through the liberal media class, or because they're intentionally part of the misdirection propaganda campaign, as is the case with Mossad asset Ronen Bergman at the New York Times (more on him here: x.com/zei_squirrel/s…).
These are the same people who went along with the "Trump turned on Netanyahu and got a real ceasefire!" bullshit in January. And of course when it predictably turned out to have been a misdirection ploy to get the "civilian" prisoners out and also try to identify the locations of the resistance through that process (both from debriefing the prisoners and the drones constantly hovering above), and they immediately went back to the genocide exactly as I said they would all along: x.com/zei_squirrel/s…
Now of course there are zero consequence for media class hacks when they go along with propaganda like this and they are all proven wrong because that's their function. They don't even admit they were wrong, they just pretend like their current participation in manufacturing consent is actually based on real deep insights and expertise and knowledge.
It's based on nothing other than being fucking hacks.
You'll see when the US launches its war all these people will again face zero consequences for having participated in the misdirection campaign, and start pontificating about the real meaning and significance of it as if they had known it would happen all along.
see also this recent thread where I made the same point: x.com/zei_squirrel/s…. Now what if my seeing through this blatantly obvious, just hilariously transparant bullshit fake "leaked" stories of "OMG LOOK AT US, WE ARE SO ANGRY AT NETANYAHU, OMG LOOK AT THIS EPIC LEAKED STORY IN WAPO AND WSJ AND NYT ABOUT HOW ANGRY WE REALLY ARE!" was actually incorrect and there is a real "Trump turn on Israel/Netanyahu"?
Well first of all, the standard for determining that is not the countless bullshit fake "leaks" you will see coming out in the next period that are nothing but empty words, rhetoric, meaningless whining, the purpose of which I have already explained.
The standard in actually determining that has happened is material action. Real, material action. And in this case, that means that there is an actual Iran deal that prevents a war, which will by necessity include a cessation of what is a war going on now by the US-NATO-Israeli Lebanese proxy "state" against Hezbollah and also the same in Iraq and Yemen, and also in Gaza with Hamas.
That will mean that an actual "permanent ceasefire" has been established between the US-NATO-Israeli empire and the Axis of Resistance, and there will be no war, at least not in the short-term, by which I mean by the end of this year.
Now if that happens, it means that the Zionist US-NATO-Israeli empire is actually much weaker than I had assumed it to be, as it had determined that it is incapable of fighting a war with Iran, and it was convinced that an attack on its nuclear sites would lead to a war given Iran's retaliation to it.
But so far I have only been wrong in the other direction, in overestimating the deterrent capacities of Iran and the Axis of Resistance, which has turned out to be much weaker than I had thought it to be, and that was based solely on the unwillingness of Iran to actually follow through on its own stated claims, not due to any lack in material capacities. Btw, the Mossad was definitely behind the killing of Iran's president too, and that entire list of deranged Israeli actions just went completely unanswered. They even participated in covering up the killing of their own president because they didn't want to have to be forced into actual retaliation by admitting it was Mossad.
Yeah, that's actually pretty shocking. I was wrong there, and I admitted I was wrong in the wake of Nasrallah's assassination which was the direct result of this.
And this only strengthens my view that the US-NATO-Israeli empire will definitely imminently attack Iran, and actually, I'm not even sure that Iran would follow through on its red line and do a real retaliation to it.
It's very possible they will just do another bullshit symbolic "True Promise" strike and leave it at that, in which case it's just over. To be fair, it was pretty much already over with the assassination of Nasrallah and the lack of any real response to that, but by that point you can just accept that there is no such thing as an "Axis of Resistance" and that Iran has been decisively defeated as a counter-force to US-NATO-Israeli Zionist hegemony in the region of any significance.
to be clear Hamas was entirely justified in eliminating the Zionist Israeli rape-soldier concentration camp guard Eden Alexander on October 7. The fact they didn't but instead sustained him as their own people are genocided, starved and raped shows how humane and moral they are
it's amazing how the entire Western media and political class transforms genocidal Zionist rape-soldiers who are enforcing an illegal occupation into Holy Saints, and if you dare touch a hair on their head it's the worst crime in history. Bernie Sanders:
one of the tactics they use to launder these genocidal Zionist rape-soldiers is to only show them in civilian clothing. So rape-soldiers are Holy Saint Innocents, but everyone in the Palestinian resistance is a Pure Evil Monster who must be mass murdered
