Welcome to The Anti Social Socialist! I am NodeZ3r0 and today we are tearing apart the bullshit that the billionaire owned media wants to shove down your throat because they cant sell the truth! They want you distracted by circus acts while the C I A and the I M F drive a tank over the backs of the working class! This is punk rock anti fascist radio and we are not here for the feel good fairy tales! We are here to burn the script! Let’s look at what Democracy Now and us_independent are screaming about while the mainstream media is playing the game show host and laughing at the blood in the water! Israel is killing at least eight more people in Lebanon right now despite a fake announcement from Donald Trump saying both sides agreed to stop fighting! That is a lie! A blatant lie from a piece of shit who has never cared about anything but the stock market! He tells you one thing and then he authorizes a new strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut! Iran had to suspend their indirect negotiations with the U S because they realized the U S government is nothing but a puppet for the Israeli fascist machine! Since March second Israel has killed more than three thousand four hundred people in Lebanon and they are seizing swaths of land for a colonial occupation that has been going on for years! This is not a conflict! This is a war of aggression planned by a global network of fascist war criminals! The U S is telling the world that they are protecting freedom but they are actually protecting the ability of billionaires to sell weapons to any tyrant who pays the bill! And where does that bill come from? From your fucking pockets! From the wages you scrape together just to survive! This is debt slavery and it is getting worse every single day! Moving on! Now check this out! The Guardian World is reporting something that makes your blood boil! In Mexico City police are using teargas on teachers who are marching for their lives! These teachers are associated with the CNTE union and they are demanding a salary raise and the reversal of pension laws that are stealing their future! They are marching toward the Zócalo plaza just ten days before the World Cup Fan Fest! And what does the fascist machine do? It fires teargas! It beats them with batons! It turns a peaceful protest into a massacre so that the rich can host a football tournament while children starve! This is the second time in a week that police have clashed with teachers! The rest of the world is watching and they are horrified but here in the U S they tell you to ignore it! The BBC might be saying something and the France 24 might be reporting something but the American media is hiding this right under your nose! Why? Because the elite want you to focus on the World Cup and the luxury shopping! They want you to forget that a mother in Mexico City has to hide her baby from the police while she screams for justice! This is class war and they want you to think it is a game! And then there is this gem from Brasil Wire! Elon Musk leads a far right propaganda blitz on Brazil’s democracy! What the fuck does that mean? It means the Tesla billionaire is using his digital platform to instigate a proto coup that looks exactly like the shit that happened on social networks in 2013 but this time the people behind it are in plain sight! And what happened on January eighth? It was not a new coup attempt as most of the corrupt media depicts it! It was a desperate failed last ditch effort by the global fascist elite to destabilize a nation that refuses to bow to their will! But the media tells you it is about free speech! It is about democracy! It is nothing but a lie! They are trying to drown out the voices of the people with noise and algorithms designed to make you angry at your neighbors! They want you to fight each other while they laugh and watch the money pour in! This is the same playbook used in every country they invade and they expect you to be too stupid to see it! And while they are doing this! Gaza records the highest death toll in six months as Israel intensifies bombing! The Middle East Eye is reporting that Palestinian health officials say 119 people were killed in May! That is the deadliest month of 2026! A Palestinian boy is mourning those killed in an Israeli air strike and we are told to look away! We are told to turn on the TV and watch a football match while our brothers are burning in the fire! This is a crime against humanity and the U S government is standing by and doing nothing! The U S ambassador is telling the world to be patient but patience is a luxury that no one in Gaza can afford! The U S is an accomplice to genocide and they are calling it diplomacy! They are calling it peace! They are calling it nothing but a cover for the blood of the working class! And then we have Russia! SBS Australia is reporting that a major Russian bombardment of Ukraine kills 11 people! Russia warned that their systemic strikes are in response to a drone attack on a Luhansk dormitory which Ukraine denies! This is the classic media lie! One side is the aggressor and the other side is the victim! But the truth is that all of these countries are being destroyed by a war machine built by the rich to make profits! The U S tells you that Russia is the bad guy but then they sell weapons to Saudi Arabia to bomb Yemen! They sell weapons to Israel to bomb Gaza! They sell weapons to every dictator who can pay the bill! The difference is that the U S government gets a kickback! The difference is that the U S media tells you one thing and then they do the exact opposite! They tell you to support the rich and they tell you to hate the poor! They tell you to love war and they tell you to hate peace! And here in Hong Kong! The South China Morning Post is reporting on a couple who lost their three children in as many countries and were arrested! A Hong Kong couple refused a DNA test for their baby’s registration following his birth at home! The infant’s father Tsang Wai-bong and mother Kwan Pui-sin were arrested on suspicion of child neglect! This is a gap in the legal and child welfare system that the rich use to control the poor! They use the law to criminalize poverty! They use the law to take children away from parents who can barely feed them! And the media tells you this is for your own good! They tell you that the government knows best! They tell you that the U S government is protecting you! But the U S government is protecting the interests of the corporations that make billions in profit while you struggle to pay rent! This is the same system that is bombing Gaza! The same system that is gassing teachers in Mexico City! The same system that is using drones to attack Kuwait! And the U S government is the master of this system! They are the architects of global fascism! And then we have the Daily Maverick SA reporting that foxes sharks and puffins are on a shortlist to replace historic figures on UK banknotes! They want to replace Winston Churchill! They want to replace Jane Austen! They want to replace Alan Turing! This is a joke! This is the media telling you that we should celebrate animals instead of celebrating the people who built this country! They want you to forget the history of slavery and exploitation! They want you to forget the struggle of the working class! They want you to focus on cute pictures of animals while the world burns! This is the same media that tells you to ignore the teachers in Mexico City! The same media that tells you to ignore the genocide in Gaza! The same media that tells you to ignore the coup attempt in Brazil! They want you to be distracted! They want you to be apathetic! They want you to be a puppet! And now Kuwait! France 24 is reporting that the Kuwait airport was hit by Iranian drones as US-Iran talks stall! The fragile ceasefire in the US-Iran war was tested overnight as Tehran launched a series of drone and missile attacks on Kuwait! Kuwaiti authorities insisted that missiles are being intercepted while the US has launched what it calls self-defensive strikes on the Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island! This is a war! This is a war between two nations and the U S government is using it to sell weapons! They are using it to prop up the fascist regimes in the Middle East! They are using it to control the oil! They are using it to control the world! And the media tells you to be patriotic! They tell you to support the U S government! They tell you to love the U S military! But the U S military is the biggest criminal organization on the planet! They are the ones who bombed Iraq! They are the ones who bombed Libya! They are the ones who bombed Syria! They are the ones who bombed Yemen! They are the ones who bombed Gaza! And now they are bombing Kuwait! And the media is telling you to cheer! They are telling you to wave the flag! But why? Because the flag represents the U S government and the U S government is the enemy of the working class! So what are we going to do about it? We are going to fight! We are going to fight back! We are going to expose the lies! We are going to expose the truth! We are going to expose the billionaires who own the media! We are going to expose the politicians who sell our souls for a bag of money! We are going to expose the fascist machine that is destroying our world! And we are going to do it together! We are going to do it as a united front! We are going to do it as a global movement! We are going to do it as the working class of the world! We are going to do it as the people who have nothing to lose but our chains! And we are going to win! Because the people are powerful! Because the people are unstoppable! Because the people are the masters of their own destiny! And we are going to make sure that the billionaire owned media never gets away with their lies! We are going to make sure that the truth is heard! We are going to make sure that the world is free! And we are going to make sure that the working class is respected! And we are going to make sure that the fascist machine is defeated! This is the Anti Social Socialist! This is punk rock anti fascist radio! And we are not stopping until the world is free!
