For 2 years, we’ve seen the following tactics actually work against USrael:

🔻Hamas sniping and pressure cooking pissraelis
🔻Yemenis sinking Zionists’ ships
🔻Iran blowing up Israel’s military facilities

After seeing all this, Westerners launched another unarmed flotilla. Every fact I’ve learned about the flotilla has pissed me off more.

Who is this for?

Certainly not the Palestinians trapped in Gaza, who have zero chance of seeing the meagre supplies they’re carrying under any imaginable scenario.

China’s eradication of ETIM terrorism within Xinjiang shifted the staging ground for western-backed destabilization of the BRI—the largest infrastructure project in history—to Central Asia.

Ignoring this context will have you cheering on the next color revolution. Image
Image Back in 2022, a wave of protests broke out in Almaty in response to a sudden increase in fuel prices (instigated by the World Bank).

It’s simple to reconcile once you stop seeing Ukraine as a smol bean fighting Big Bad Russia and start seeing it for what it is — a US-backed proxy used to:

1- destroy Russia and

2- sever Europe from Asia by forcing them into permanent reliance on the US for energy & defence. Image

Image If you were forced to draw an equivalence between Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine, the closest model would probably be:

NATO+western Ukraine ≈ USrael
Donbas+Crimea ≈ Palestine
Russia ≈ Iran+Iraq+Yemen+Hezbollah

Imperialist regime change fronts USAID and the NED are being retired not because the CIA is being defunded, but because these tools are now outdated.

Of what use are orgs using “freedom and democracy” as operational cover in this new era? Image
Image In all likelihood, new overt and covert strategies are already in place.

- Sentiment influence via A.I. bot swarms?
- Crypto funded terrorist attacks?
- Overt support of fascist political parties?

The US is using tariffs to force Canada and Mexico into stopping alleged cross border flows of fentanyl.

One view is that this signals the US genuinely wants to protect its population from fentanyl.

But another is that the US wants to become the global supplier of fentanyl. 🧵 Image
Image After the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001, Afghanistan’s poppy fields went from a minor portion of global opium production to supplying the vast majority of the world’s consumption.

When the US finally left in mid 2021 and the Taliban retook control, opium production plummeted. Image

Trump 𝘪𝘴 stupid, but it would be better if we stopped seeing these threats as the boorish impulses of one man…

…and started understanding them as part of a very intentional strategy of an empire cannibalizing its subordinates. Image

Image I’m sorry, but positing that Trump is some rogue agent acting in brash opposition to imperial interests is swallowing the kayfabe almost as hard as his fans.

When faced with the demands of a hostile US, what are “allies” going to do? Say no and join the global south? Be serious.

An interesting detail about the arrest of Mangione that many seem to be missing:

He wasn’t spotted by an employee, he was spotted by a *customer*, who has yet to be identified. Image This interview with another customer who was there at the time recounts someone who said “that looks like the shooter from New York”

He and his group laughed it off and left the restaurant, and only later learned that Mangione was arrested after they left.

The rise of Trump and Trumpism cannot be fully explained without first recognizing how, over the last two decades, American politics has been shaped by the rise of China. 🧵 Image Despite both parties preferring to deemphasize foreign policy in their campaigns, US foreign policy is the engine driving domestic policy. This is because modern US domestic politics is fundamentally a game of dividing up the plunder that foreign policy secures.

Image US-backed attempts at foreign destabilization always try to leverage *real* grievances, not to bring any resolution to the aggrieved. Quite the opposite, they attempt to intensify.

The only correct position for the western left to take is to oppose *ALL* forms of intervention.

Yellen is once again traveling to Beijing, this time to try to get China to curb “overproduction”.

What's the real goal? 🧵 Image The goal of this pressure campaign is to somehow convince China to self-sabotage the foundation of their budding prosperity—their means of production—thereby eliminating the competition.

Why don't the capitalist countries try to out-compete China on commodity prices instead?

On Monday, Israeli fighter jets bombed the Iranian consulate in Damascus killing over a dozen people in an outrageous act of provocation against both Iran and Syria.

It is clear that Israel is intent on instigating a direct confrontation with Iran.

What’s the goal? 🧵 Image While this attack represents a blatant provocation, it is not without precedent by western powers. Those old enough might recall a similarly atrocious act by the US in the 1999 bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.

In America, a "FICO Credit Score™ " is a blacklist administered by an unelected private oligopoly.

Americans are inducted into this capitalist credit initiative from birth, which controls everything from where they can live and which employer they are allowed to work for. Image In order to be allowed to live in a house when they're older, Americans must begin taking out loans starting from an early age—even if they don't need a loan.

Americans call this ritual to appease private banks and landlords "building credit".

It has become clear Israel has no plan beyond trying to force millions of Palestinians into the Sinai desert by starving and bombing all that remain in Gaza. Israel is acting as if any Egyptian objection to this plan is a bluff.

This is utter insanity. 🧵 Despite being led by a US puppet, Egypt is facing a dramatic economic crisis of their own that worsens each day of Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Both Suez transit fees and tourism—key buttresses of govt revenue—have fallen off a cliff since Oct 7.

Earlier today, the UK govt convened an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss a joint US+UK joint strike on Yemen for their blockade targeting ships facilitating the ongoing genocide of Palesianians.

We are now at a critical crossroads 🧵 Image Having spent almost a decade showing they’re incapable of wiping out the Yemeni resistance, the US+UK again plan to strike this country in hopes it will deter the Yemeni people from standing against a genocide. Image

In response to US+Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians, Yemen just hit another two Israel-bound oil tankers with drones.

This is interesting for a few reasons. 🧵 Image Firstly, the location.

Instead of hitting these ships as they transited through the Bab al-Mandab as previous strikes had, the tankers were targeted in the vicinity of the Maldives, over 2,000 km away!

Not enough people seem to catch what happened here:

Israel stole a number of *Palestinian* children’s bodies when they raided Al-Shifa hospital last week.

They then used these bodies to stage a film for private audiences depicting the bodies as *Israeli* children.

Image Follow this through to its conclusion:

Not only is Israel lying about the events of Oct 7, the lengths they’re willing to go to manufacture evidence proves that the 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵.

On Nov 14th, Yemen announced they would begin targeting Israeli-flagged ships in retaliation for the massacre of Palesitnains in Gaza.

Earlier today, Yemen captured a ship in the Red Sea, an act which may turn out to be the most significant development in the war so far.

Why?🧵 Image Marine shipping accounts for 80% of the world's trade in goods, and a full 12% of ships pass through the Suez Canal.

The southern end of the Suez is accessed via the Red Sea, which in turn is accessed via the Bab-el-Maneb, a constriction less than 30 km across at its narrowest.

Be prepared for a US foreign policy pivot to attempt to save what is now (correctly) seen as a growing risk of losing their forward-operating base in the Middle East by blaming the intelligence failure of Oct 7 and subsequent bungled response solely on Netanyahu.

Will it work?🧵 The rapidly mounting tally of Isreali soldier deaths from the failed ground invasion, combined with the international black eye from supporting a horrifying genocide, is further eroding what little soft power the US has left.

In response to the significant losses Israel sustained after it launched a war against Lebanon in 2006, the US and Israel began developing a short-range air defense system called Iron Dome.

And for the first time since then, Iron Dome is at risk of being defeated. 🧵 Iron Dome has 10 missile batteries in operation throughout Israel, with the key component being the Tamir missiles.

The missiles are designed to intercept incoming Qassam rockets. Famously, each missile costs $80,000, while Hamas’s rockets can be produced for <1/100th the cost.

If you’re watching this apocalyptic genocide unfold before your eyes and you feel powerless to stop it, please read. 🧵 Al-Aqsa Flood was a meticulously planned operation by a group with intimate knowledge of their enemy

What that means is the planners did not only anticipate Israel might retaliate with this current level of unrestrained brutality, they were counting on it

So what are its goals?
