You hear me? Nobody cares! The entire fascist machine is running on autopilot while we sit here watching the slaughter from a screen. Let’s get straight to the point. The billionaires and their corporate puppets think they can just fly in and drop death from the sky without consequence. Well guess what? That ends now. MIDDLE EAST EYE is reporting from Yemen right now and they are telling us that Houthi forces just fired missiles and drones into Marib and Mocha. They killed dozens of people. They injured more. The spokesperson Yahya Saree said they targeted Saudi-linked forces but innocent folks got caught in the crossfire just like always. This is not a game show host picking winners and losers. This is a military spokesman saying people are dying while the US-backed regime in Riyadh laughs all the way to the bank. The US war machine is trying to strangle a nation that refuses to bow down to their fascist masters. The CIA and the State Department are watching this slaughter and doing nothing but issuing press releases that call it “collateral damage.” Collateral damage? You call murdering people “collateral damage”? That is a lie straight out of a fascist propaganda manual! The US government wants you to believe that war is a clean business transaction, but what they are really doing is stealing your life and your future to feed their own insatiable greed. They want you to feel powerless so you accept the status quo. They want you to be a puppet dancing on a string held by the Pentagon. Now check this out. We are moving from Yemen to Ethiopia and the violence just keeps getting worse. RFI is reporting from Africa and the rebel forces in Tigray are condemning army drone strikes. They are calling it a serious escalation. The Ethiopian government is using drones to bomb their own population. Drones. The same technology the US sells to fascists around the world. It is a cheap way to kill people without getting your own boots dirty. You think this is just some random conflict? No man. This is about resource extraction. The big mining corporations need the land and the US government needs the resources to fuel their consumerist nightmare. While the rebels fight for their land, the international media giants turn a blind eye or worse, they write articles that try to justify the bombing. It is bullshit. It is absolute bullshit. The UN is warning of a new war and you should listen to them before you get crushed under the boot of a fascist regime. The US and its allies are funding these dictatorships and then acting surprised when they turn their guns on their own people. It is a loop. A never-ending loop of exploitation and death. The US military industrial complex is the biggest monster in the world and it feeds on the suffering of others. And speaking of monsters, let’s talk about Elon Musk. BRASIL WIRE is reporting from Brazil and they are calling out the X ban on Musk. They are saying it is not about free speech. It is about sovereignty. The Brazilian judiciary is telling the billionaire to shut the hell up because he is interfering with their legal system. Musk is trying to use his platform to support fascist movements in Brazil and they are kicking him out. He thinks he owns the airwaves. He thinks he owns the truth. But he is just a rich idiot playing dress up as a king. The Brazilian people are waking up and they are rejecting the coup attempt that is being orchestrated by the billionaire. The billionaire turned far-right influencer is inciting violence and the law is finally saying no to him. This is a victory for the people who are tired of being bullied by tech oligarchs. The tech giants think they can control the narrative but they are just puppets of the same capitalist machine. They sell you ads, they sell you your data, and then they sell you lies. It is a rigged game and the only way to win is to stop playing. You have to hack the system. You have to take back your technology. You have to demand a world where corporations do not have the power to decide who speaks and who is silenced. Here is where it gets wild. The UN is investigating attacks in Myanmar and they found something disgusting. THE SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST is reporting that the military is using drones and motorized paragliders to attack civilians. They are flying low and slow and dropping bombs on neighborhoods. They are doing this while trying to project stability and gain legitimacy after a rigged election. What a joke. They hold an election and then bomb the people who voted. They use high-tech drones to terrorize the poor. The US is arming these regimes with the same weapons that kill millions of people every year. The US government sits in their air-conditioned offices in Washington DC and signs checks for weapons that are then used to murder children in places you have never heard of. It is a system designed to keep the poor poor and the rich richer. The rich get to fly drones from the sky and the poor get to get bombed. It is simple economics. Simple economics for the fascist machine. Now let’s talk about the Pentagon. THE INTERCEPT is reporting on a new civilian casualty report and they are calling it a total whitewash. Government officials are admitting it is sickening and a joke. The War Department claims they killed no civilians in boat strikes in Yemen. They are lying. They are lying with their whole body. The Intercept is exposing the lie and you should be proud to support independent journalism that tells the truth. The mainstream media will never tell you this because they are owned by the same fascist billionaires who profit from war. The Intercept is brave and they are telling you what the game show hosts are hiding. They are showing you the blood on the hands of the generals. The Pentagon says they missed. The reality is they are aiming at the wrong people. It is a hit list and the names are not on the list of the rich and powerful. The names are of the poor and the weak. The names of the people who have no voice. Meanwhile, the tension is rising in Korea. DAILY MAVERICK is reporting that North Korea fired a missile ahead of major US-South Korea drills. The US and South Korea are planning military exercises that Pyongyang has denounced. They are building up their military might while the world burns. The US is preparing for another war. Another unnecessary war to sell more weapons. The US military industrial complex needs a new conflict to justify their existence. They need a new enemy to demonize so they can raise taxes on you and you can buy a new smartphone with your last paycheck. It is a cycle. You work hard, you get screwed, you buy the new gadget, and then they tell you there is a threat out there so you need to be ready to die. The missile fired by North Korea is a reminder that the world is not a game. It is a deadly game where the rules are written by the rich and the poor are the pawns. In Syria, the former president Bashar al-Assad has been sentenced to death in absentia for war crimes. SBS AUSTRALIA is reporting on this. He is unlikely to face execution but the sentence stands. The world is talking about accountability and yet the US government has been protecting its own war criminals for decades. They send people to Guantanamo without a trial and they claim it is justice. It is not. It is just a way to silence critics and keep the fascist machine running. The US is the biggest human rights violator in the world and they will never admit it. They will never apologize. They will just keep sending bombs and drones and telling you it is for your safety. Your safety is an excuse for them to steal your money and your freedom. And finally, let’s talk about right here in the states. COUNTERPUNCH is reporting that D.C. is under siege. One year ago, the Trump administration brought in National Guard troops to occupy the streets. Now there are 5,000 troops from 15 states deployed here. Some are staying through 2029. They are calling it a “Safe and Beautiful Task Force” but it is a military occupation. They are militarizing the nation’s capital. They are turning your city into a fortress. The police are pigs and the National Guard are just an extension of the military. They are here to crush any movement that challenges the status quo. They are here to protect the interests of the billionaires. They are here to make sure you stay in your place. The US government is declaring martial law without saying it. They are using the law to break the law. They are using the court system to punish anyone who questions their power. It is a fascist state and you are living in it. The Falken narrative analysis system is tracking these disinformation operations and we are seeing a lot of fear mongering and fabricated content across social media. The algorithms are pushing lies to keep you divided and angry. They want you to fight each other while they take everything. They want you to believe the boogeyman is the immigrant or the neighbor or the guy on the corner. But the real boogeyman is the system. The system is a cancer and it is spreading. The debt slavery is real. The economic imperialism is real. The class war is real. You are fighting your own brothers and sisters while the billionaires walk away richer. They are laughing at you. They are watching you bleed and they are making money from your suffering. You have to wake up. You have to see the machine for what it is. It is not a game. It is a war. And the enemy is right inside the walls of your home. The enemy is the system that demands you sell your soul for a paycheck. The enemy is the system that tells you that the world is rigged so you have to accept your place at the bottom. That ends today. You have to organize. You have to build mutual aid networks. You have to join the resistance. The only way to win is to build your own power. Do not wait for the government to save you. They are part of the problem. Do not wait for the tech giants to fix things. They are part of the problem. You have to take matters into your own hands. You have to hack the planet. You have to build a world where everyone has food, shelter, and dignity. A world without the fascist machine. A world without the capitalist exploitation. A world where we are all human. The time is now. The clock is ticking. The bombs are falling. The lies are spreading. The only thing that matters is what you do next. Will you stand with the oppressors or will you stand with the people? The choice is yours. But remember, you are not alone. There are others who see the truth. There are others who are fighting back. There are others who are building a new world. Join us. Spread the word. Share this episode. Make sure your friends and family know the truth. The truth is that the system is rigged and we have to fix it. The truth is that we are capable of building a better future. The truth is that we are not helpless. We are the masters of our own destiny. Let us go forward together. Let us build a world of peace and justice. Let us end the war. Let us end the fascism. Let us end the suffering. Let us end the lie. Let us start now. Let us start now. #AssCast #AntiFascist #HackThePlanet
