The stench of the system: propaganda //PaulCudenec

Something is smelling decidedly ‘off’ in today’s world, with nauseating levels of corruption, mass murder, lies, hypocrisy and repression.

These three essays are based on three books I happen to have recently read, each of which provides fascinating but necessarily limited insights into the reality of contemporary society.

Placed alongside each other, […]

The stench of the system: propaganda

🇺🇸 Meet Team America 2.0: The Deep State’s Worst Nightmare… If Only It Were That Easy

🇺🇸 Meet Team America 2.0: The Deep State’s Worst Nightmare… If Only It Were That Easy 🇺🇸

Kim Dotcom just laid out a vision that must have the Deep State quaking in its boots….if it ever became reality.

Imagine Trump’s “dream team” of justice warriors: Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Ross Ulbricht, and Dotcom himself.

Each of these men symbolizes a battle against the empire’s most guarded secrets and corrupt practices, Assange, the media’s unfiltered voice;

Snowden, the spy-state saboteur; Ulbricht, the digital freedom fighter; and Dotcom, the relentless anti-corruption crusader.

Together, they’re not just a team; they’re an indictment of everything Washington’s shadow elites would rather the world forget.

This lineup is the antithesis of red tape and meaningless reform.

It’s about dismantling the machinery of control, layer by layer.

Assange would gut the media’s cozy relationship with intelligence and power, exposing the propaganda from within.

Snowden would strike at the NSA’s voyeuristic empire, dragging the surveillance state into the light.

Ulbricht would challenge Silicon Valley’s monopoly, breaking the iron grip of Big Tech.

And Dotcom? He’d take aim directly at the heart of corruption that festers in every marble hall from DC to Wall Street.

But here’s the bitter truth, the Deepstate isn’t giving up without a fight.

Dotcom’s tone hints at the dream, but even he knows it’s called a dream team for a reason.

The very government that parades itself as a beacon of freedom has chased these men to the ends of the earth for daring to expose its darkest corners.

While the Deep State calls them “criminals,” the world sees them as symbols of resistance against an empire that has lost its way.

So yes, one can dream of this “Team America,” of a squad that would enforce liberty and truth over lies and manipulation.

But as the old saying goes, “power concedes nothing without a demand.”

And in this case, it’s going to take more than just a wish list to turn this dream into a reality.

El compromiso de Etiopía de buscar pacíficamente el acceso al mar no debe verse como un signo de debilidad

Andrew Korybko* La búsqueda de acceso al mar por parte de Etiopía será impulsada diplomáticamente, pero recurrirá a medios militares en defensa propia si es atacada por el Eje de Asmara, y existe una gran probabilidad de que también defienda a Somalilandia de la agresión.

Counting the cost of royal greed

Over the weekend Channel 4’s Dispatches programme revealed the extent to which the public is being milked by the greedy and money grabbing Windsor family.

Or rather, at least the extent to which the programme and the investigative reporters of the Sunday Times were able to uncover.

The Windsors go to great lengths to keep […]
