This is NodeZ3r0 here, and you’re tuned into the Ass Cast. Buckle up, because we’re diving into some underreported stories from around the world that the fascist machine doesn’t want you to know about. First up, in Brazil, Elon Musk is leading a far right propaganda blitz. The Tesla billionaire is instigating a digital proto-coup, and it’s getting plain to see. Brasil Wire is reporting that January 8, 2023, was not a new coup attempt as depicted, but a desperate, failed last gasp. The meatpacking giants walk away richer while workers bleed. This is the capitalist agenda at its finest, where the rich get richer and the rest of us suffer. Moving on, in the United States, President Trump is waging war on working families to fund a $500 billion Pentagon boost. Common Dreams is reporting that Trump’s budget proposal guts worker protections and raises costs for energy bills and housing, all while boosting military spending. It’s clear who benefits here: the war profiteers and the defense contractors, while the rest of us get stuck with the bill. Now check this out: Ukraine is outpacing Russia in drone attacks for the first time since the war began. The Times of India is reporting that Kyiv’s forces targeted Russian oil infrastructure, aiming to disrupt funding for the conflict. It’s a brutal conflict, and both nations continue to rely heavily on long-range strikes, raising concerns about the war’s potential to spread. The drone war is heating up, and the casualties are mounting. Meanwhile, in Lebanon, an Israeli strike has killed a Christian party official. Middle East Eye is reporting that the strike on an apartment east of Beirut late on Sunday killed a local official from a Christian political party, sharpening internal divides over Hezbollah. The war in Lebanon is deepening fractures between supporters of Hezbollah and those who blame the group for igniting a new war with Israel. And then there’s this gem: South Korea’s president says he regrets sending drones to North Korea. Seoul initially denied involvement, but a probe later revealed government officials had been involved. Deutsche Welle is reporting that South Korea’s president is expressing regret over the surveillance drone downed by North Korea in January. It’s a diplomatic headache, and it shows how quickly governments can backtrack when the truth comes to light. Now, let’s dive into some trending narratives from social media. Our Falken intelligence system detected a cluster of items across RSS feeds about Texas suing for tax relief, Prince Andrew’s massage, and glyphosate in food. But here’s the kicker: these narratives are being pushed by disinformation operations using loaded language and emotional manipulation. It’s a classic case of whataboutism, where the media tries to distract you with one story while the real issues are left unaddressed. Folks, we’re living in a world where the billionaires own the media, and the rest of us are getting the short end of the stick. So, what can you do? Organize, self-host, and support mutual aid projects. Join wopr.systems and stay informed. We need to fight back against the fascist machine and build a better world for all of us. So, tune in next week, and until then, keep it real. Stay woke. #TrumpHoax #FascistMachine #ConcentrationCamps
