The Assange Case Isn't About National Security, It's About Narrative Control
"The US government is not afraid that unauthorized publication of government secrets will lead to Americans being killed, it's afraid it will lead to their knowing the truth."
When a poor person says spies are attacking their brain with microwave beams it’s called paranoid schizophrenia. When a US government operative says it, it’s called Havana Syndrome.

Hackers, Havana Syndrome, And Other Invisible Russian Aggressions That Only The CIA Can See

There are two problems with your proposed law miss
@vonderleyen
1. Such an agreement is not enforceable.
2. If it were enforceable then you would be included as one of the first to be prosecuted.
@vonderleyen
Sorry but neither I, my friends and family nor China think you have the moral high ground nor track record to be preaching values to anyone.
@vonderleyen
; you know what that means , right?
The US interferes in world elections more than any other nation on earth, so foreign nations are fully entitled to interfere in US elections as much as they like.
If the western media were what it purports to be, every member of the public will be acutely aware of the fact that a journalist is being imprisoned by the most powerful government on earth for exposing inconvenient facts about its war machine.
The Empire Depends On Psychological Compartmentalization
We're kept from really seeing evils like Yemen, Iraq, ecocide and Assange's persecution due to a mental tendency to hide away information which conflicts with our propaganda-manufactured worldviews.
US elections are..corrupt and fraudulent, entirely dominated at the federal level by legalized oligarchic bribery—campaign contributions, manipulated primaries, gerrymandering, voter suppression, shutting out third parties,—the worst voting system in the western world.
@caitoz
The US Has As Much Moral Authority As Saudi Arabia On The Legitimacy Of Elections
The US weighing in on Venezuela's elections is like McDonald's evaluating whether mom and pop restaurants are sufficiently eco-friendly and vegan.
….understand that we've been lied to since we were small children about the nature of our government, our society and our world, and that powerful people pour vast amounts of resources into manipulating the way we think….

You Can Never Do Everything, But You Can Always Do Something
"Seize every opportunity you can find to spread awareness and throw sand in the gears of the machine, and rest assured that you've done all you can."
Our Rulers Have All The Power And None Of The Responsibility
"You can go to jail for smoking a leaf, but corporations can blacken the air at immense profit without ever facing any consequences."
You're not supposed to trust the government, and governments aren't supposed to act in a way that requires your trust. If you find yourself ruled by a secretive power structure which demands your blind faith in its righteousness, something has gone horribly wrong.
@caitoz
You're Not SUPPOSED To Trust The Government
"The US government is without exception the single most corrupt and destructive force on this planet. It is the very last institution on earth who should be in charge of deciding what online content is true"
Capitalism will always inevitably become more unjust, oppressive and corrupt and will keep taking on new forms to continue its cancerous spread. The ultimate problem is human behavior being driven by profit.
@caitoz
Propaganda Scrambles Our Minds
"Political Twitter got angrier about Joe Rogan taking ivermectin than the Pentagon murdering an entire Afghan family and lying about it. All sense of proportion and perspective has been scrambled."
The US is the absolute last government on earth we should want making decisions which threaten the very existence of our species. Its interventions are consistently disastrous, consistently based on lies, consistently fail to accomplish what their proponents claim….
@caitoz
The Big Threats Are The Ones We Can't Come Back From
"Nothing about our insane cold war environment suggests western leaders will navigate this situation safely."
The US empire is entirely open about the fact that it sees itself as the gatekeeper of the world's food supply. If a population disobeys the empire its people will starve, and anyone who tries to obtain food for them will be arrested by US proxies and extradited to a US jail cell
The US Has Placed Itself In Charge Over Which Nations Get To Eat
"Alex Saab, as it happens, is a 'fugitive' from the US government's self-appointed authority to decide which populations on our planet are permitted to have ready access to food."
"No no you don't understand, the US needs to keep bombing and starving civilians and engaging in nuclear brinkmanship and arming extremist militias and supporting dictators and destroying any nation who disobeys it. Otherwise the world might be taken over by a tyrannical regime!"
Undermining US Global Hegemony Is Good, Actually
"China and Russia are right to try to undermine US unipolar hegemony. The planet is not America's property and efforts to stop it being treated as such are good. "
@RishiSunak
This man is the definition of a
#PoliticalCriminal
lying to the British public, trying to brainwash us, all the time taking his orders from his bosses in the shadows, he has no moral compass and ignores the slaughter and starvation of innocents in the name of profits.
Few people understand how fucked things really are. It's not that we're facing global disaster on multiple fronts and our electoral systems are rigged to prevent us from doing anything about it, it's that the public is propagandized away from even wanting to do anything

Super Serious News Reporting
"Hi I'm a very serious news reporter. The Russians are controlling our thoughts with Facebook memes and scrambling our brains with invisible ray gun attacks."
Criticize Beijing's Xinjiang policies all you want, but its deradicalization campaign was indisputably infinitely less draconian than the western "war on terror" which has killed millions and displaced tens of millions since 9/11.
What If They Staged A Cuba Uprising And Nobody Came?
"The US staging a domestic uprising in Cuba and no one showing up for it reminds me of that old saying 'What if they had a war, and nobody came?'"
We are bombarded with propaganda about how horrible China and Russia are, for the exact same reason adherents to religions have historically been indoctrinated with beliefs about how horrible heretics and apostates are.These gods are jealous gods. They do not tolerate unbelievers
The Drivers Of Empire Want To Rule As Greek Gods
"To find where they lack this control, you need only ask yourself which parts of the world the imperial propaganda machine most aggressively tells you you must oppose."
…it's about a system wherein mass-scale human behavior is driven by profit, and where war, ecocide, exploitation and corruption happen to be profitable. As long as that's the case it will just be endless assholes ruling our world until they get us all killed.
@caitoz
It's About The System, Not The Individuals
"Focusing on individuals instead of the system creates the illusion that if you replaced the individuals you could fix the problems with the system. The individuals are symptoms of the disease."
They are living as kings on wealth they made by raping the planet we all live on, whose health we all depend on for survival, and because their mass media propaganda is so successful it hardly ever even occurs to anyone that they should have to pay for it.

“Capitalism means”….”the owners of the means of production exploiting workers by paying them a fraction of the wealth they generate”.
@caitoz
Capitalism is Theft is Exploitation is Violence is Murder…..just look at our history…..
Capitalism Is Violence
Saying "It's not capitalism that's the problem, it's CRONY capitalism" or "It's not capitalism that's the problem, it's corporatism" is the same as saying "It's not my chain smoking that's the problem, it's my emphysema!"
No no, we're not mass murdering war criminals, we are visionaries. If we would have just remained in Afghanistan another twenty years, history would have vindicated us. If we would have just killed more people in Iraq, it would be a paradise right now.
@caitoz
Bush Era War Criminals Are Louder Than Ever Because They've Lost The Argument
"But, far from being silent and slithering under a rock to wait for the sweet embrace of death, these creatures have instead been loudly and shamelessly outspoken."
Imperial narrative managers like to spin war as this super complicated, esoteric thing that nobody but the most elite scholars can understand, …….Really it's the easiest thing in the world to understand: mass murder for power and profit is wrong.

This should be an international scandal for which scores of people should be sentenced to spend the rest of their lives behind bars…. every military which participated in this unforgivable crime should have its budget slashed to a tiny fraction of what it is.

Afghanistan Proves The US Military Needs Its Budget Slashed To Ribbons
For 20 years the Pentagon lied that it's building a government that can stand on its own. Now it's crunch time, and it turns out they were building a fake movie set made of cardboard.
As long as the wealthy and powerful are manipulating the way we think, act and vote at mass scale, they're going to keep enacting their psychopathic will upon the world.
@caitoz
Consciousness And Dysfunction Cannot Coexist
The answer to the question "What can we do?" is spread awareness. Spread awareness outwardly in the world in whatever creative ways you can, and spread awareness inwardly to your own internal processes as well.
Poverty Is A Weapon Of The Powerful
"Keep people too poor to fund political campaigns and you keep them powerless. Keep them too busy to research and they can't see through your propaganda. Keep them desperate and you can get them hating each other"

Don't consent to the new cold war. They're working so hard to manufacture the consent of the public for this bullshit because they require that consent. So don't give it to them. Fight the unleashing of this omnicidal horror every step of the way.

Talkin' About Armageddon
"The fact that our world is hurtling toward man-made obliteration on multiple fronts should probably occupy more of our conversational bandwidth than it does."
@CraigKellyMP
Totally agree with this
@CraigKellyMP
. Totally agree. It was a coordinated action to maximise Big Pharma profits at the expense of suffering Australians. This must be prosecuted.
“Wealthy people who fail to manufacture the consent of their subjects have historically wound up with their heads in baskets. That’s why they work so hard to manipulate the way the public thinks, acts and votes, and that’s why our society is as messed up as it is” —

Impending Planetary Disaster Should Unite Us, Yet We Remain More Divided Than Ever
"I think about this quote a lot not just as pertains to the inevitability of our individual deaths, but to the looming death of the entire world."
Imagine if you learned you had a serious form of cancer, and then not only did you not pursue any kind of treatment, but you also barely ever talked about it or thought about it. That's how weird humanity's response has been to the myriad imminent existential threats it faces.
