JOHNSTONE

When you're siding with John Bolton on whether to bomb Iran, you're as insanely hawkish as it gets. Reading by Tim Foley.

Israel is a murderous, tyrannical, psychopathic regime. So is the western empire. So when westerners talk about having “shared values” with Israel, they’re not actually lying. Reading by Tim Foley.

One bizarre thing about modern US presidential races is watching politicians in one of the most dystopian civilizations ever to exist warning people that the other candidate wants to lead them into a dark dystopia, which depending on the party they label "communism" or "fascism".

Just like the ongoing mass atrocity we are witnessing in Gaza, this fondness for rape is just one of the many, many symptoms of the injustice and abusiveness that the state of Israel is founded on and built from. Reading by Tim Foley.

One reason westerners are so clueless about communism is because every four years the most influential western nation launches a massive months-long disinformation campaign about what communism is. People like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Lauren Boebert and Tim Pool have been claiming Kamala Harris is a Marxist for proposing price controls, a measure that was also put forward by noted communist Richard M Nixon. Republicans are so fucking stupid that every few years they start shrieking that they're under attack from "communism", and by "communism" they mean the opposing US party which supports the exact same capitalist status quo they support but with tampons in the boys' bathroom. God I wish Democrats were as cool as right wing idiots make them sound. Reading by Tim Foley.

Israel has been loudly and melodramatically fretting about an impending retaliatory attack from Iran and Hezbollah which it claims will likely include strikes in the vicinity of civilian population centers. This is of course rich coming from the regime that has spent ten months turning Gaza into a flattened wasteland of rubble and civilian corpses. Reading by Tim Foley.

They bombed the Tabeen school in Gaza City with so much explosive force that not a single full body was recovered. Reading by Tim Foley.
