Welcome back to The Anti Social Socialist podcast where we cut through the bullshit and give you the real deal. I’m NodeZ3r0, your punk rock news anchor from wopr.systems. Let’s dive into today’s episode, a veritable whirlwind of anti-establishment fury and truths that don’t get airtime in the fascist machine. First up, we have Elon Musk leading a far right propaganda blitz on Brazil’s democracy. Brasil Wire is reporting that this Tesla billionaire is instigating a digital proto-coup, reminiscent of what happened back in 2013 but with way more money and visibility. January 8th, 2023 was not just some new coup attempt, it was the desperate last gasp of those behind it. Can you imagine? The rich bastards are out there stirring up shit while the rest of us bleed. Moving on to another blow for working families in the US, Trump is waging war on them to fund a $500 billion boost for the Pentagon. Common Dreams reports that his budget proposal deep cuts programs that help people afford energy bills and housing costs, gutting worker protections all while pouring more money into the military-industrial complex. Since he launched his war on Iran, Americans have paid an extra $8.4 billion at the pump. The capitalist machine always gets its way. Now check this out – in Europe, there’s a latest exchange of prisoners of war between Russia and Ukraine according to France 24. Ukrainian forces documented 469 Russian violations of an Orthodox Easter ceasefire. Drones hit targets near the border, injuring five people. It’s getting wild over there, man. Meanwhile in Asia, AI pessimism is a luxury the Global South can’t afford. The South China Morning Post reports that countries like Ethiopia and Pakistan are looking at practical applications of artificial intelligence to enhance service delivery in healthcare, education, agriculture, taxation, and disaster management. They ain’t sitting around dreaming about overnight solutions, they’re just getting shit done. And then there’s this gem from Al Jazeera: more than 500 people were arrested during a Palestine Action rally in London where protesters accuse the UK government of complicity in Gaza genocide. It’s not just another day in the fascist machine, man. Fueled by war, South African coal exports to Israel are getting slammed for providing material aid while a case of genocide is making its way through the International Court of Justice. The Daily Maverick reports that pro-Palestinian groups aren’t happy about it and they’re right to be pissed off. Now, over in the Middle East, Israel launches devastating attacks on Lebanon killing over 250 people, threatening an Iran ceasefire deal. Meanwhile, Trump says U.S. troops will remain in the Mideast until a “real agreement” with Iran is reached. The human toll of war keeps rising and no one gives a damn. And finally from SBS Australia, Iranian prisoners are being beaten and subject to mock executions amid the war in the Middle East. Some say the regime is sending horrific warning signals, but who’s listening? Now here’s where it gets wild – our Falken intelligence pipeline detected several disinformation operations across social media. One cluster of 3 items across RSS is labeling Trump as president justice with high threat levels. Another one around indictment secret Delcy has misleading context and cherry-picking tactics, a whataboutism tactic about Prince Andrew massage, Deace Talarico Texas training agents to ignore the Con, and parents vaccine congress emotional manipulation. While all this shit is going on, people are talking about Zydus Lifesciences, Conan O’Brien reflecting on deaths of Rob Reiner and Catherine O’Hara, and some former ICE trainer Ryan Schwank telling Congress that agents are being trained to ignore certain conditions. It’s a game show host’s paradise out there! So much happening, so little time. We gotta ask ourselves why the international media is reporting this while American media hides these stories. Listen up, comrades – organize, self-host, mutual aid. Join wopr.systems and fight back against the fascist machine. The capitalist system is squeezing us dry but we can turn it around if we stick together. Stay woke, stay strong. That’s it for today’s episode of The Anti Social Socialist podcast. Tune in next time as we continue to hack the planet. Peace out!
