Not quite soviet, but 'Hourglass Sanatorium' is great.

I wish I'd written an article about this when the war first began. I've known and been saying for months that the process will go like this:

Ukraine will face demolition by war. They've repealed labour laws and banned left wing parties. Now, with the conditions right, the circling sharks of 'investment' have come to feed.

BlackRock and JPMorgan are apparently on a co-venture to get a hold of the contracts, that they'll make billions with, off cheapened labour and a desperate population, extracting the countries wealth to their banks. I'm sure some wealthy Russians and Ukrainians will make lots of money too.

And just watch, as it starts to be hailed as a charitable effort. Proof of Ayn Rand's concept of business altruism..

 

I've looked it up a bit, but the search algorithm is so inundated with shit around the topic I thought I'd try here instead for some pointers.

When libs bring it up I usually engage in some 'whataboutism' and pivot to saying if they think that's an assault on democracy, what about CambridgeAnalytica, or worse, what about the fact that the US funnels EXORBITANT amounts of money into global media manipulation to destroy entire countries.

Good sources anyone? Reading? Podcasts?

BONUS: I'm also struggling to find the source of the exact figures of the US funnelling money towards destabilisation of countries, sometimes worth more than the networths of the countries themselves, or something absurd like that.

EDIT: Thanks for the replies. Somehow the reality of it was lower than my already very low expectations.

“In his frequent basketball matches, Fidel has started using a new move he simply calls ‘The Step.’ It is undeniably effective, yet is its goodness equally undeniable? As revolutionaries we must not merely pay attention to ends, but to means. I worry that this flash and pomp is not befitting of the revolutionary leader. It serves to separate him too much from those caught in the chains of a maudlin life, marred by oppression and economic strife. Yes, it leads to a basket, but at what cost to the communal spirit?”

Che Guevara got dunked on so hard by Castro that he theory nerded out, declaring the Euro Step to be at a 'cost to the communal spirit'

What are your go to events for shocking people into learning about US imperialism in South America?

The overthrow/killing of Salvador Allende is the strongest in my opinion. What else would you pick?

I would say Halls Of Montezuma, but it's so far back that it's easily handwaved.

certified Guardian moment.

I did some further detective work too, that isn't particularly shocking - it's just how journalism works, but if you've never given it thought before, this might interest you:

click here for detective work


The 'publication' they source, until about an hour ago, didn't lead anywhere. They report it's contents, but don't link to where it can be accessed. My first thought was that it was some very shoddy journalism. I went searching and found nothing initially. I tried again later and found it:

https://policyexchange.org.uk/publication/closing-the-back-door/

I then inspected the webpage's source code: "datePublished":"2024-02-05T00:01:01+00:00","dateModified":"2024-02-04T23:41:48+00:00",

It was modified on the 4th at 23:41, and It was published on '05' - today, at '00:01:01'.

The Guardian reported on it 9 hours ago. The Irish Times reported on it 8 hours ago.

Therefore, I can say without a doubt that The Guardian and The Irish Times colluded with the Policy Exchange think tank in advance, and these articles were probably lined up in advance of today. Perhaps those publications uploaded in advance in order to catch the Sinn Fein leader news cycle while it was hot, because they hadn't anticipated new leadership happening in that moment (the day before).

The Mirror also published an article on it at the time the Policy Exchange website went up about an hour ago, but I can't be arsed to check whether they're just regurgitating second hand info from the Guardian and Irish Times, or whether they're reproducing first hand info from the original publication.

Also, the think tanks leaders are ex secretaries of defence. The department of defense (offense, realistically) always has ties to top media publications.

I've noticed a major uptick in Russia scaremongering recently. I think it's lining up with upcoming elections in the UK and US. Usher in the strongmen.

Here's some excerpts from warhawk Daniel Johnson:

  • In the UK, only 18% of millennials would be willing to fight for their country.

In Germany,

  • He {Pistorius} warned recruits in Hamburg that peace in Europe was "no longer an irrefutable certainty" and asked: "Are we seriously ready to defend this country in an emergency?" Raising the possibility of reintroducing conscription, he continued: "And who is this we? This debate has to be had."

Pictured: scum (with an iron cross? It can't be, right? I'm not expert but I'd imagine it's a different symbol)

Then a final absurd note:

  • "But a concerted campaign of rearmament, embracing not just Nato but the entire free world, would demonstrate to Putin, Xi Jinping and leaders of other authoritarian regimes that the West is ultimately invincible."

Cope and seethe

  • "Now it is time to show that the West - including all who share our values - is capable of dealing not only with pirates who threaten trade routes but with dictators who threaten humanity. If we cherish the peace that has prevailed over most of mankind since 1945, we owe it to posterity to prepare for war."

Most of mankind... What a blatantly false idea. Western economic satellites have been in constant war.

  • "The Anglo-American naval action in the Red Sea is a reminder that only the West cares about preserving peace and the rule of law. We are very efficient at dealing with the likes of the Houthis."

We must ensure peace!! How? Spend more money on weapons!! Rule of law! This journalist should be exiled to Palestine with immediate effect.

'very efficient at dealing with the likes of the Houthis'... and then the next suggested article is
